Dow falls in steepest decline since 2008

By David K. Randall Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Gripped by fear of a new recession, Wall Street suffered its worst day Thursday since the financial crisis in the fall of 2008.

The firestorm of selling that erased more than 500 points off the Dow Jones industrial average then spread overseas.

The sell-off wiped out the Dow’s remaining gains for 2011. It put the Dow and broader stock indexes into what investors call a correction — down 10 percent from their highs in the spring.

In today’s trading in Asia, Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average was down more than 3 percent and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng shed 4 percent.

SRS office closures under new scrutiny

“We are continuing to be bombarded by worries about the global economy,” said Bill Stone, the chief investment strategist for PNC Financial.

Across the financial markets, the day was reminiscent of the wild swings that defined the financial crisis in September and October three years ago. Gold prices briefly hit a record high. Oil fell even more

than stocks — 6 percent, or $5.30 a barrel. And frightened investors were so desperate to get into some government bonds that they were willing accept almost no return on their money.

It was the most alarming day yet in the almost uninterrupted selling that has swept Wall Street for two weeks. The Dow has lost more than 1,300 points, or 10.5 percent. By one

broad measure kept by Dow Jones, almost $1.9 trillion in market value has disappeared.

For the day, the Dow closed down 512.76 points, at 11,383.68. It was the steepest point decline since Dec. 1, 2008.

Thursday’s decline was the ninth-worst by points for the Dow. Please see ECONOMY, page 2A

TOPEKA — A key legislator on Thursday rejected the justification used by the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services to shut down the Lawrence agency office and eight others.

And a legislative committee has asked for information from SRS related to the closures.

SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. has said the closures are necessary because of a legislative mandate included in the state appropriations bill that the agency find $1 million in administrative cuts.

But Senate Ways and Means Committee Chair Carolyn McGinn, R-Sedgwick, said that was not the case.

“The cuts were supposed to be at the administration level in Topeka and not be dispersed to local offices,” said McGinn, who Please see SRS, page 2A

The new president of Haskell Indian Nations University said he wants to move on from challenges Haskell has faced in the past few years and focus on expanding opportunities for the university’s students.

Chris Redman, who has Haskell been on campus since July University 6, is familiar with some of the difficulties the school has faced from dissension within the faculty ranks to inquiries from federal elected officials, including Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., about the school’s leadership.

“I think it’s more the exception now than the rule,” he said of dissension at Haskell.

“I’m very persistent about employees learning how to reach across those issues and being willing to disagree with each other and get the job done.”

STEVEN LEE MCI NROY Services for Steven Lee McInroy, 57, Lawrence, are pending and will be announced by Lawrence

Chapel Oaks Funeral Home.

Mr. McInroy died Thursday, Aug. 4, 2011, at his home.

Economy

Then one report after another began to show that the economy was much weaker than first thought.

Manufacturing is barely growing. The service sector, which covers about 90 percent of the American work fo rce, i s g row i n g a t t h e slowest rate in a year and a half. People spent less in June than in May, the first decline since September 2009.

And the overall economy is expanding at the slowest pace since the end of the Great Recession. It grew at an annual rate of just 0.8 percent for the first six months of this year, raising the risk of another recession.

In an indication of how frightened investors are, Bank of New York Mellon said it would start charging large investors to hold their cash because they are depositing so much. The bank’s clients include pension funds and large investment houses that are selling stock and need to deposit the proceeds.

Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist for Janney Montgomery Scott, an investment firm in Philadelphia, said his clients saw the move from stocks into cash as “a parking lot to sort things out.”

“With the scars of 2008 still fresh,” he said, “some clients don’t want to miss the chance to pre-empt further damage should it come.”

Wells Fargo Advisers, a financial management company in St. Louis, said clients were more nervous.

“I wouldn’t say they’re totally panicking. But obviously nerves are rattled,” said Scott Marcouiller, chief technical market strategist there.

“And I think that is simply because of the speed of the decline.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In percentage terms, the decline of 4.3 percent does not rank among the worst.

On Black Monday in 1987, for example, the Dow fell 22 percent.

Two weeks ago, investors appeared worried about the deadlocked negotiations in Washington over raising the ceiling on government debt.

As soon as the ceiling was raised, investors focused on the economy, and the selling accelerated.

On Thursday, growing fear about the weakening U.S. economy was joined by concern in Europe that the troubled economies of Italy and Spain might need help from the European Union.

The European Union has already given financial assistance to Greece and Ireland, two countries that have struggled to pay their debts. A financial rescue package for Italy or Spain might be more than the group of countries can handle.

Traders also unloaded stocks before today’s release of the government’s unemployment report for July, which is expected to show weak job growth and perhaps a rise in the unemployment rate, which is 9.2 percent.

Together, they produced “a perfect storm of selling,” said Ryan Larson, head of U.S. equity trading for RBC Global Asset Management.

Until a week ago, Wall Street had mostly convinced itself that the U.S. economy would improve in the second half of the year.

Gas prices were falling, and Japanese factories were resuming production after disruptions from the March earthquake.

Sometimes, he said the issues painted a more dire picture than the reality.

“The sky never really was falling at Haskell,” he said.

Redman said he took issue with reports that placed Haskell’s graduation rate at 9 or 10 percent, saying those figures only focused on students who obtained bachelor’s degrees.

When students who earned associate’s degrees were factored in, he said the rates were around 26 percent.

Still, he acknowledged, that wasn’t high enough.

“I’d like to have way more than that,” he said. “I’d like to have two or three times that.”

He said the school needed to connect with students on an individual level to help bring that rate up. Students need counseling and someone they can call on when they’re having trouble, he said.

Redman, 48, earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Oral Roberts University and a

Questions and answers about the stock market fall SRS

By The Associated Press

Fears of another global recession on Thursday sent the stock market into its steepest dive since the 2008 financial crisis.

The Dow Jones industrial average plunged more than 500 points, erasing its gains for the entire year.

Stock indexes have sunk in nine of the past 10 trading days.

Here are some questions and answers about what’s happened and what it means:

Q: A:

What triggered so much anxiety across the financial markets Thursday?

In Europe, worries mounted that Italy and Spain won’t be able to pay their bills, the latest shudder in a debt crisis that has gripped the region.

The European Central Bank restarted a bond-buying program to calm credit markets. But it had the opposite effect on stocks and other investments, highlighting concerns about a worsening global economy.

Investors were also jittery about July jobs data the U.S. government will release today.

Q: Could falling stock prices weaken the economy?

A: Yes, by making people less likely to spend — and companies less likely to hire. Lower stock prices tend to slow spending as people see their wealth shrink.

And consumer spending drives about 70 percent of the economy. When spending slows, job growth typically does, too.

Q: Other than the massive selloff, have there been any unusual signs of distress?

A: Bank of New York Mellon said it will charge a fee to pension funds and other large customers that want to hold cash deposits over $50 million.

Similarly, the yield on the one-month Treasury bill fell to almost nothing — 0.008 percent. Normally, banks and the U.S. government pay people interest for their money.

But many large investors have grown so anxious that, above all, they want to invest their money in ultrasafe ways.

Q: How bad is this selloff compared with the one after the 2008 crisis?

A: The Standard and Poor’s 500 stock index fell 57 percent from its October 2007 peak to March 2009.

So far, the S&P has fallen 12 percent from its highs last spring. Analysts say corporations are healthier and better able to endure an economic slump than they were three years ago. Earnings for the second quarter are still on pace to post a record high.

Q: What’s an average investor to do?

A: Stick with your longterm plan. Responding emotionally to short-term movements in the market is usually a bad idea and results mostly in locking in losses. But be practical about protecting yourself from the worst-case scenario if you face big cash needs in the next few years for college, retirement or other pressing demands.

Stock allocations should be tailored for your goals and risk tolerance.

He said he hopes to be able to put a foundation in place that can support athletics and academics at the university.

There are no plans to cut sports programs at Haskell, he said.

That started on Thursday as the Joint Committee on State Building Construction requested information on SRS’ actions.

Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, a member of the committee, said the office closures raised several questions.

Francisco asked for information on: ● Whether SRS pays building rents on a monthly or annual basis. ● How staff reductions in the agency have affected office space considerations.

She also said SRS is paying more in rent per square foot

McGinn said that during the legislative session, SRS officials invited reductions.

“They said they could handle the cuts,” McGinn said.

While Siedlecki has decided to close nine SRS offices, he also has added new positions among top-level administration, such as a $97,500per-year deputy secretary for faith-based initiatives.

SRS spokesman Angela De Rocha, however, said Siedlecki and the agency “were very transparent during the session that if administrative cuts were passed, office restructuring was a possibility.

City to discuss brick street maintenance

1 | TEXAS

Polygamist leader convicted of abuse Warren Jeffs was convicted Thursday of sexually assaulting two child brides after a whirlwind trial in which the polygamist sect leader insisted on representing himself, only to remain silent through much of the proceedings and present just one witness — a church elder who gave an extended Sunday school lesson on its beliefs.

The tall and lanky head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints stood stone-faced as a verdict of guilty on two counts of sexual assault of underage girls was read, after the jury of 10 women and two men deliberated for 3 1/2 hours. He had stood mute during his closing argument, staring at the floor for all but a few seconds of the half hour he was allotted.

At one point, he turned and looked toward prosecutors and the jury, most of whom avoided direct eye contact with him. “I am at peace,” he mumbled, then said no more. The only noise in the courtroom was the creaking of wooden benches brimming with spectators.

Residents say plan needed

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

It is a youthful workout, that’s for sure.

In the small town of Holton, about 45 minutes north of Lawrence, it has become a ritual of sorts for high school students to head down to City Hall to

apply for what surely must be one of the more physically demanding summer jobs, but evidently one of the more sought-after as well: bricklayer.

“We have more people apply than we can hire,” said Rex Cameron, street superintendent for the town of about 3,500 people.

A crew of six to eight youths spends the summer cleaning, sorting, hauling and laying bricks as part of an annual program to rebuild one to two blocks of the city’s seven miles

of brick streets.

Now, some Lawrence residents are wondering whether such a program could work in Lawrence. If not, they’re wondering what would because they say the city needs some sort of plan to maintain or rehabilitate Lawrence’s 46 miles of brick streets.

“I don’t think it is just an east Lawrence issue,” said Deron Belt, a member of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association who has been studying the brick street issue. “I think in

Resident: Killings in besieged city The flashpoint Syrian city of Hama endured a fifth day under military siege Thursday, with a resident saying people were being “slaughtered like sheep” in the streets and families were burying their dead in home gardens or roadsides rather than risk a trip to a cemetery.

Food supplies grew short and residents shared bread, while phones, electricity and Internet were cut off or severely hampered.

There was no official count of the dead. One resident said around 250 people have been killed since Sunday. And a rights group that tracks death tallies reported up to 30 people were killed in Hama on Wednesday alone. The tolls could not be verified because of the difficulty reaching residents and hospital officials in the besieged city, where journalists are barred as they are throughout Syria.

The assault on Hama, a center of the 5-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad’s iron rule, is among the most ferocious in the government’s effort to crush the rebellion — and a sign of the Syrian leader’s defiance of growing international condemnation.

Obama celebrates 50th birthday With the arduous debt talks behind him, President Barack Obama celebrated his 50th birthday at the White House Thursday with a Rose Garden party, a toast from his senior staff and some good-natured ribbing from his wife.

After spending the morning of his milestone birthday working in the Oval Office, the president headed to the Blue Room of the White House for a celebration with top aides. White House chefs were spotted cooking chicken and burgers on outdoor grills.

Later, Obama was celebrating with family and friends, including some who came in from his hometown of Chicago, in the Rose Garden. The president’s oldest daughter, Malia, also made it home from summer camp in time to celebrate her dad’s 50th.

Even on her husband’s birthday, Michelle Obama couldn’t resist poking fun at his graying hair. In a campaign email — subject line “Gray Hairs” — the first lady asked supporters to sign an electronic birthday card for the president, and said she knows the reason for his salt-and-pepper hair.

Va. Tech locked down for gun report A report of a possible gunman at Virginia Tech on Thursday set off the longest, most extensive lockdown and search on campus since the bloodbath four years ago that led the university to overhaul its emergency procedures.

No gunman was found, and the school gave the all-clear just before 3 p.m., about five hours after sirens began wailing and students and staff members started receiving warnings by phone, email and text message to lock themselves indoors. Alerts were also posted on the university’s website and Twitter accounts.

The emergency was triggered by three teens who were attending a summer program on campus and told police they saw a man walking quickly across the grounds with what might have been a handgun covered by a cloth, authorities said.

In competition, chefs prepare dishes with farmers’ market fare

ONLINE: Watch the video at WellCommons.com

About 200 people watched three teams of Lawrence restaurant chefs buy, prepare, cook and serve up dishes made with local fare.

Then came the best part: taste testing. Delicious, flavorful and inspiring were a few words used to describe the food.

The Chef’s Challenge was part of the first Farmers’ Market at the Douglas County Fair on Thursday evening at the county fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St. The event was organized by a broad coalition of organizations who seek to support local growers and businesses.

“The purpose of the event was to really call attention to the richness of the food in the valley and to the farmers and to link it with the fair, which

already is a celebration of agriculture,” said Julie Mettenburg, coordinator for Our Local Food–Kaw River Valley.

“We want people to know that there are a lot of sources for local food around town and it’s really worth seeking out because this shows tonight that it’s really delicious, affordable and amazing and it supports our local economy.”

Nearly 30 vendors were selling a variety of produce, meats and homemade goodies. The Iwig Family Dairy booth was a popular stop because it was selling four flavors of ice cream. Collin Billau, general manager, estimated that he sold more than 140 8-ounce containers.

A majority of the vendors, including Iwig dairy, take part in the Cottin’s Hardware Farmers’ Market on Thurs-

days, which moved to the fairgrounds for the event.

Although business was slower than the typical market, several said they had new customers and thought it was a worthwhile venture.

“It was a good idea and a lot of fun,” said Stephanie Thomas, of Spring Creek Farm near Baldwin City. “We’d participate again.”

During the three-hour farmers’ market, the chefs were cooking and sweating up a storm. Among the competitors were: Ken Baker and Vaughn Good, of Pachamama’s; Subarna Bhattachan and Alejandro Lule, of Zen Zero; and Russ Iversen, Hal Beckerman and Pedro Julio TovarBallagh, of Free State Brewery.

They purchased local ingredients at the farmers’ market and then had one hour to prepare their dishes, which included a grilled meat and a Please see CHEFS, page 5A

Ready to rumble? Researchers say strips make highways safer

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Those “rumble strips,” the raised patterns along highways that jar drivers to attention when they begin to drift out of their lanes, may be noisy, but some Douglas County residents believe the increased safety is worth it, researchers at Kansas State University have found.

any neighborhood that has brick streets, there’s a pretty strong incentive to keep them.

“I think any creative technique the city can come up with would be a good answer to the issue.”

The topic is set to get some attention at City Hall. A recent city audit recommended that Lawrence create a policy for deciding how to maintain its brick streets. The audit noted that some of the lower ranking

an associate professor of industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, have been studying centerline rumble strips for years.

They’re the ones that run down the middle of twolane roads, such as U.S. Highway 40 in Douglas County. They’re designed to improve the safety of roads by alerting drivers they are drifting out of the lane.

The researchers have

found that adding centerline rumble strips have reduced fatality and injury crashes by 46 percent in Kansas, and crossover crashes were reduced by 68 percent, along with other benefits.

About 400 miles of twolane highways in Kansas feature the rumble strips, Rys said, but the number is growing.

Karkle has found that the ones in use in Kansas can be

noisy, ranging from 60 to 80 decibels when at the minimum distance of 200 feet from the center line, as required by Federal Highway Administration standards for acceptable noise levels.

At the 60 decibel level the noise would be about like a dishwasher running, and at 80 it would be comparable to a television set, Karkle said.

Rys said researchers inter-

viewed people in Douglas County on U.S. 40 between Lawrence and Topeka, where homes are relatively close to the roadway.

“They say they can hear the noise, but they feel it’s more important to install the rumble strips,” she said, for the improved safety of the roadway.

Talk about a power lunch.

Once a week for five years, Sheila Immel took a lunch break from the Kansas University Alumni Association, where she served as senior vice president for membership before retiring to pursue a career in art, and spent time at an area elementary school with a little girl who had just experienced a great personal loss. They read, horsed around on the playground, talked, worked on homework and played games. But mostly they knit their lives together.

The Bigs in Schools mentoring program pairs adults with elementary and middle school students who have been identified by their school counselors as “at risk,” said Cathy Brashler, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County.

The students may be struggling academically or socially or, like Immel’s Little, be facing tough challenges at home.

“The Bigs aren’t there to ‘fix’ a child,” says Brashler. “They are there mainly to spend time with this child, giving them individual attention. Some Littles want to talk, some want to do arts and crafts. They can play sports at recess.”

It’s not the activity that matters so much to the Littles; it’s the opportunity to form a close, ongoing relationship with a caring adult that is transformative.

More than 80 percent of Kansas children involved with Bigs in Schools experienced an increase in their self-esteem, according to a three-year study conducted by the Austin Peters Group. Seventy-one percent improved their academic performance, 50 percent had fewer unexcused absences from school, and 67 percent reported that their attitude toward school improved.

Kids invited to spend a day in the great outdoors

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

From catching fish to holding snakes, Clinton State Park’s annual O.K. Kids Day on Aug. 13 will give kids an opportunity to interact with the wild.

As a way to encourage youths to venture into the outdoors, the state park will have a fishing derby in the morning, free lunch at noon and snake “show and tell” in the evening.

From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., fisheries biologists will teach kids how to identify fish, improve their casting skills, and bait and hook a fishing pole. The derby will be at Lake Henry, a three-acre stocked pond just south of the park office. Registration starts at 8:30 a.m.

Around 10:30 a.m., prizes will be handed out for biggest fish, most fish and the most unusual item reeled in.

At noon, a hot dog sack lunch will be provided to the first 200 people.

The final event of the day is a snake “show and tell” in Shelter No. 6 at Campground No. 3.

From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., nine different species of Kansas snakes and five turtles will be

on display. Biologists will talk about the state’s venomous snakes, such as the timber rattlesnake, copperhead and massasauga rattlesnake, and how to avoid them.

Kids will be able to hold and touch some of the state’s nonvenomous snakes, and everyone will receive a free snake identification booklet.

An annual event, the park’s O.K. Kids Day has grown in popularity with more than 70 or 80 youths attending each activity. Their interest is a good sign for Sherri Withers, an administrative specialist for the state park office who helps organize the event.

“We are trying to promote having kids go outdoors and be more active and doing things besides sitting in front of the TV,” Withers said.

On Aug. 13 and 14, entrance into Clinton State Park is free for all vehicles. Overnight camping permits and utility fees are still required.

To register for the O.K. Kids Day, contact Withers at clintonsp@ksoutdoors.com.

$300K donation puts theater closer to goal

Redistricting forum set for Saturday

A fundraising effort to build a new community theater building is now just $900,000 from its goal after a large gift from a well-known foundation.

The Ross and Marianna Beach Foundation has made a $300,000 donation to Theatre Lawrence’s campaign to build a new 300-seat performance center in northwest Lawrence, the theater announced Thursday.

“The generosity of people has been so overwhelming,” said Mary Doveton, executive director for Theatre Lawrence.

“To have an institution like the Beach organization that has a reputation for being a partner in so many high-quality education and arts projects is wonderful for the community.”

The Beach family — known in Lawrence for its longtime ownership of Douglas County Bank — has operated businesses in Lawrence, Hays and other locations across the state.

The theater now has raised $5.3 million to build a new theater in the Bauer Farm development near Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive. The group has until the end of September to raise the remaining $900,000, or it will lose $1.5 million in matching grant funds.

The new building will replace the theater’s much smaller facility at 15th and New Hampshire streets.

A public forum on redistricting will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. Corey Carnahan, research analyst with the Kansas Legislative Research Department, and Burdett Loomis, professor of political science at Kansas University, will speak at the forum focusing on the once-adecade process of redrawing boundaries for congressional, legislative and State Board of Education districts.

Legislators will approve district maps in the 2012 legislative session. They are currently holding hearings on the issue with a meeting set Sept. 2 for Lawrence.

The forum is sponsored by the League of Women Voters Lawrence-Douglas County.

After hearing recent reports that Republican leaders have considered moving urban Wyandotte County from the 3rd U.S. House District to the mostly rural 1st U.S. House District, Kay Hale, Lawrence-Douglas County League president, said she was concerned that “politics might override common sense.”

BRIEFLY Groups plan rally after police disruptions TOPEKA — Two groups whose recent events at the Capitol were disrupted by police will return there Saturday for “A Celebration of the First Amendment.”

During a rally June 24 on the Capitol grounds, Capitol Police blocked members of the Kansas Equality Coalition from carrying U.S., Kansas and rainbow flags, saying the flagpoles could be used as weapons.

News reports later showed that groups in the past have been allowed to bring flags on the Statehouse grounds.

On June 1, police interfered with a National Organization for Women news conference, saying three spare tires that were being used as a prop had

— City Manager David Corliss constructed brick street can be much lower over time.

That’s been the experience in Holton, said City Manager Bret Bauer.

“If you do it right, it should last a very long time with very little maintenance,” Bauer said.

Lawrence has done two brick street projects in recent years — one along Ohio Street and the other along New York Street. Both projects used bricks that were more than 70 years old and were still in good condition.

The streets had failed because the base under the bricks had deteriorated.

Holton leaders also are finding that constructing brick streets doesn’t have to be as expensive as once believed. Holton spends about $20,000 to $50,000 a year to rebuild one block of

A study by Public/Private Ventures found that students involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters were less likely than their peers to begin using illegal drugs and alcohol, to skip school or to rely on violence to solve their problems.

“Being a Big opened up my eyes to how many kids out there don’t have somebody in their lives,” Immel said.

“All you have to do is go to a (Big Brothers Big Sisters) breakfast and hear from kids who have had a Big, and how it has changed their outlook and turned them around in life.”

Right now, the Bigs in Schools program has 80 active matches in Lawrence’s public elementary and middle schools. Brashler’s goal is to increase the number of matches to 110 this school year.

“It’s become the cool thing for the kids to have a Big come — it’s the highlight of their week,” said Beth Hodge, case manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County.

“The teachers comment that the kids’ overall attitude and behavior is better on the days the Bigs come because the kids are in a good mood, looking forward to seeing their Bigs.”

Immel’s Little graduated out of the program last spring, but Immel had such a positive experience as a Big that she signed up to be matched with a new Little this fall.

“I got as much out of it as she did,” Immel said. “Seeing her face light up when I walked in — it was win-win.”

For more information about the Bigs in Schools program, contact Brashler at 843-7359 or cbrashler@ksbbbs.org. Or attend one of the organization’s volunteer information meetings, held every Tuesday at 5:15 p.m. and every Wednesday at noon at 1525 W.

side dish.

The dishes were then judged by Douglas County Commissioner Jim Flory, City Commissioner Mike Amyx and Twilla Brown, a longtime 4-H supporter. Flory said it was a tough decision.

“Everything was delicious.

It was almost impossible to judge because it was all so good,” he said. “The quality and taste of food was excellent all the way around.”

Their vote made up 70 percent of the final decision and then the crowd’s vote was worth 30 percent.

The winner was Free State Brewery. They served up but-

ter-beer-braised pork loin with mashed potatoes and a peach-corn compote that was topped with a huckleberry balsamic vinegar reduction.

But the chefs said it wasn’t about winning or losing; it was about promoting local foods and showing fairgoers just how fresh the local food tastes.

“It was a lot of fun,” Baker said. “We had a great time and would do it again.”

Police said the woman’s physical injuries were minor and not life-threatening.

The man was released from custody Thursday.

brick street, with costs varying based on how much concrete work crews have to do before the brick can be laid by the youths.

But Cameron said the fact the city uses the youth crews — plus the concrete work is done by full-time city employees rather than contractors — is a significant cost savings.

A Lawrence city block is wider and longer than one in Holton, but Lawrence spent about $200,000 per block to redo the brick on New York Street last summer, according to city engineers.

Lawrence hasn’t set a timeline for developing a brick street policy. Corliss and city engineers have said one of the f irst steps will be to review how many brick streets there are in the city that have been paved over with asphalt. Those streets — which include parts of Tennessee, 11th, 12th and 13th streets — likely won’t be good candidates to return to all-brick. But the remaining bricks from those streets could be used to rebuild brick streets in other parts of the community, city engineers have proposed.

Congress reaches agreement to reopen FAA

By Joan Lowy Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Congress has reached a bipartisan compromise to end the two-week partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration that has idled 74,000 federal employees and construction workers and cost the government about $30 million a day in uncollected airline ticket taxes, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Thursday.

The deal would allow the Senate to approve a House bill extending the FAA’s operating authority through midSeptember, including a provision that eliminates $16.5 million in air service subsidies to 13 Reid rural communities. Passage of the bill is expected today. Senators have scattered for their August recess, but the measure can be approved if leaders from both parties agree to adopt it by “unanimous consent.”

Republicans had insisted on the subsidy cuts as their price for restoring the FAA to full operation. But the cuts may become moot.

The bill includes language that gives Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood the authority to continue subsidized service to the 13 communities if he decides it’s necessary.

“Only LaHood can decide how he will use his waiver authority,” said Adam Jentleson, a spokesman for Reid.

But Democrats said they expect the administration to effectively waive or negate the cuts.

“I just know that the White House has provided assurances that they (the communities) will be held harmless,” said a Senate Democratic leadership aide who asked not to be named because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the deal.

The shutdown began when much of Washington was transfixed by the stalemate over raising the government’s debt ceiling. During that time, the FAA furloughed 4,000 workers but kept air traffic controllers and most safety inspectors on the job. Forty airport safety inspectors worked without pay, picking up their own travel expenses.

Some 70,000 workers on construction-related jobs on airport projects from Palm Springs, Calif., to New York City were idled as the FAA couldn’t pay for the work.

But airline passengers in the busy travel season hardly noticed any changes. Airlines continued to work as normal, but they were no longer authorized to collect federal ticket taxes at a rate of $30 million a day. For a few lucky ticket buyers, prices dropped.

But for the vast majority, nothing changed because airlines raised their base prices to match the tax.

Some passengers will now be eligible for tax refunds if they bought their tickets before July 23 and their travel took place during the shutdown.

Mysterious orange goo washes up in village ANCHORAGE, ALASKA — Authorities say a mysterious orange-colored substance has washed up on the shores of a remote village in northwest Alaska.

Tests have been conducted on the substance on the surface of the water in Kivalina (KIV’-uh-LEE’-nuh). City Administrator Janet Mitchell told The Associated Press that the substance has also shown up in some residents’ rain buckets.

Coast Guard Petty Officer David Mosely tells KTUU that it’s not a petroleum substance and it’s not man-made. Mitchell says the village is requesting that an algae expert from the University of Alaska Fairbanks investigate.

Military money on chopping block in austere time

By Lolita C. Baldor and Donna Cassata Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon got nearly everything it asked for during a decade of two wars shadowed by the Sept. 11 terror attacks and the rise of al-Qaida. No more.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen acknowledged that reality Thursday, saying the military is resigned to budget cuts of around $350 billion over a decade to meet the public clamor for reducing the nation’s debt. But they quickly warned that more than doubling those cuts along the lines of the “doomsday mechanism” spelled out in the new debt-limit law would undermine the military.

“If it happened — and, God willing, that would not be the case — but if it did happen, it would result in a further round of very dangerous cuts across the board, defense cuts that I believe would do real damage to our security, our troops and their families,

and our military’s ability to protect the nation,” Panetta told reporters at his first Pentagon news conference.

Mullen, who has said repeatedly that the debt is the greatest national security threat, said any cut on that order “jeopardizes our ability to deal with the other very real and very serious threats we face around the world.”

Reflecting the widespread demand for fiscal austerity, the compromise debt deal struck by President Barack Obama and congressional leaders this week will slice $350 billion from projected military spending over the next 10 years, and it leaves open the possibility of more than $500 billion in additional reductions.

Defense spending, which has nearly doubled in the last decade, is no longer untouchable in Washington.

Tea partyers and fierce fiscal conservatives in Congress are more willing to include Pentagon dollars in their mix of budget cuts despite opposition from veteran defense hawks. The death of Osama bin Laden,

the diminished role of alQaida and the winding down of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have prompted some lawmakers to question the need for such robust military spending.

Among the things that could be on the block: A troubled new jet fighter, expensive plans to modernize the nation’s nuclear arsenal and perhaps some of the goldplated benefits now guaranteed to military retirees.

“I think programs that can’t meet schedule, that can’t meet cost ... requirements are very much in jeopardy and will be very much under scrutiny,” Mullen said.

The prospect of nearly $1 trillion in cuts unnerves military leaders, troubles lawmakers protective of the Pentagon and has touched off a scramble in the defense industry as contractors look to spare their multibilliondollar weapons programs.

In sounding an alarm, Panetta is pressuring Democrats and Republicans to consider making concessions on their core priorities — entitlement programs

such as Medicare and Social Security defended by Democrats, and increases in taxes resisted by Republicans — before taking a sharper knife to defense.

The former Democratic congressman and budget chief in the Clinton administration delivered a clear message to leaders of both parties.

“You cannot deal with the size deficits that this country is confronting by simply cutting the discretionary side of the budget,” said Panetta. “If you’re going to deal with those size deficits, you’ve got to look at the mandatory side of the budget, which is two-

thirds of the federal budget, and you also have to look at revenues as part of that answer.”

Just back from a trip to Iraq and Afghanistan, Mullen faced repeated questions from troops worried that their pay and benefits would be cut.

“Our men and women downrange have enough to worry about just getting the job done,” Mullen said Thursday. “They shouldn’t also be concerned about whether or not they will be paid to do that job, or whether or not their families will continue to get the support they need during long absences.”

Arts transition It’s hard for the Kansas Arts Commission to get back on its feet when so many key questions remain unanswered.

T

he transition to private financing of the Kansas Arts Commission doesn’t appear to be going very smoothly.

A meeting of the commission this week revealed a number of unresolved issues and a lack of transparency that is raising concerns among arts advocates and some arts commissioners.

To recap, Gov. Sam Brownback sought to abolish the Kansas Arts Commission and replace it with the Kansas Arts Foundation, which would raise private funds for arts in the state. Although legislators blocked his executive order abolishing the commission, Brownback used his line-item veto to remove all KAC funding from the current year’s budget. He also dismissed all of the commission’s staff.

The Kansas Arts Commission still exists, but it has no money and no staff to administer its program. Judging from last week’s meeting, it also appears that commission members have little idea how they will move forward.

First, there’s the funding. This week, new KAC Chairwoman Linda Browning Weis sent a letter (a letter that wasn’t shared with other commission members in advance) to the National Endowment for the Arts making the argument that KAC should remain qualified to receive federal arts grants. Obviously that question should have been answered definitively before funding for the KAC was deleted, but it was not. Kansas would be the only state to receive NEA funding even though the state government isn’t contributing any funding of its own. The Mid-America Arts Alliance, which distributes NEA funds, said all Kansas requests have been put on hold pending clarification of Kansas’ grant status. The funding is anything but certain.

So what about the private funds being raised by the Kansas Arts Foundation? The goal has been to raise enough money to at least replace the lost $700,000 in state funds. The governor reportedly donated $30,000 in leftover inauguration money, but how much money has been raised in addition to that? Weis told her fellow commissioners on Tuesday that she wasn’t prepared to share that information. Really? How are commissioners supposed to set a direction if they have no idea how much money they have?

The KAC reportedly will have part-time access to accounting and grant management services through the Kansas Department of Administration and the governor’s office. A Topeka company is donating office space to the foundation so KAC and/or the new foundation will have a place to do business if they ever have a staff.

Although we hope the NEA money is forthcoming, there are some solid reasons the national group would hesitate to send its money to Kansas. The KAC has no staff and no direction. It’s unclear how the Kansas Arts Foundation will work and how it will coordinate with the KAC. New policies to govern the new structure haven’t been drawn up. The Kansas Arts Commission is in such a state of upheaval, it is understandable that the NEA would be concerned about how its money would be used.

This seems to be another case of the Brownback administration taking action without having a clear idea of what the consequences will be or how a smooth transition can take place. We certainly hope it all works out, but even if the transition eventually is successful, it clearly isn’t going to be smooth or painless.

Israel-Palestine status quo won’t last It’s time to start thinking about what will happen to Israel — and U.S. policy in the Middle East — when the peace process ends.

Politicians don’t openly discuss the deep threat to Israel’s existence that would result from an end to negotiations over a two-state solution (meaning a Palestinian state living peacefully alongside Israel).

Instead, the Obama team calls for a revival of moribund peace talks — but it is merely going through the motions. The White House is too distracted to provide the necessary involvement, and the current Israeli government has no interest in talking substance. Meantime, divided and weak Palestinian leaders are trying to rally a U.N. vote for statehood in September that won’t change much on the ground.

And so we drift toward the time when a two-state solution will no longer be possible, as Israeli settlements expand on the West Bank, and publics on both sides weary of diplomacy.

Last week, I heard a group of dovish Israelis with extensive military and diplomatic expertise describe the dangers the end of the two-state formula pose to their country. They deserve to be heard.

“This moment in Israeli history is more critical than ever that we end this conflict because time is running out for those who want to secure a democratic, Jewish state,” said Gilad Sher, who served as chief of staff to Prime Minister Ehud Barak during the Oslo peace negotiations.

“The current situation is

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

so we drift toward “theAnd time when a two-state solution will no longer be possible … ”

unsustainable,” he said, speaking at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington. “If we discontinue the peace process, either we have an apartheid state or a Jewish-Palestinian state.”

Sher was referring to demographic facts that pose an existential threat to the Jewish state, if it retains effective control over Gaza and continues to occupy the West Bank and Arab sectors of Jerusalem. Within that geographic area of “greater Israel,” Jews hold a narrow edge in numbers over Palestinian Arabs. According to Sher’s colleague, Shlomo Gazit, a former head of military intelligence, the percentage of Jews in greater Israel is 52 percent, and Arabs 48 percent.

This means that, if the peace process ends, Israel faces two highly undesirable choices: rule over an unwilling, largely disenfranchised Arab population, which produces the apartheid analogy, or give citizenship to all Palestinian Arabs, and lose the Jewish character of the

Israeli state.

In the Middle East, where group loyalty trumps the American idea of citizenship, a “oneman, one-vote” solution wouldn’t work; it would inevitably lead to further bloodshed. Palestinians and Israeli Jews deeply desire their own independent homeland.

But an apartheid state, where a bare Jewish majority eventually becomes a minority and rules over millions of Palestinian Arabs, is anathema to Israeli Jews who want a democratic homeland.

These men are deeply worried that the passage of time does not favor Israel. The status quo — in which West Bank terrorists have been crushed, with cooperation from the Palestinian Authority — is comfortable to most Israelis.

As Jewish settlements and roads expand across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, a viable Palestinian state becomes less likely.

“A two-state solution at some point will no longer be seen as viable by Palestinians,” said Alon Pinkas, a former foreign-policy adviser to Barak. “What are we going to do then?”

Pinkas also raised the prospect of Palestinians conducting huge, peaceful marches after a vote at the United Nations — a strategy now called for by their leaders, in the spirit of Egypt’s Tahir Square revolution. “If they carry pictures of (Mohandas) Gandhi, not suicide bombers, what will we do then?” he asks.

These Israelis are not novices in the hard world of Middle East politics. They know the risks a Palestinian state will pose to Israel, even if it’s demilitarized,

but they feel the alternative poses greater risks.

So do they see any way out?

They are part of a nonpartisan political movement called Blue White Future, whose founders include Sher and Ami Ayalon, former head of Shin Bet, the Israeli security service. To promote the two-state solution, the group is trying to facilitate the relocation of Jewish settlers from the West Bank to homes inside Israel.

But as to the bigger picture, a shift in Israel’s approach is unlikely under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, they say, even as America’s influence in the region is weakening.

The men point out that in the past, it has often taken an unexpected and dramatic event to change the approach of the parties — and perhaps prod an American president to take a more active role.

“I believe we wouldn’t have reached peace without the 1973 war,” says Gazit, “and the Oslo peace talks required the first (Palestinian) intifada” to jolt the sides into negotiations.

Such unexpected events can cut both ways: If a U.N. resolution in September is met with huge Palestinian demonstrations, Gazit fears Israel might overreact harshly, prodding a third intifada.

It would be far better if movement occurred because all sides recognized the status quo was unsustainable. Failing that, we can only wait for the unexpected, and hope.

PUBLIC FORUM

Priorities To the editor: Gov. Brownback will travel to Texas to attend an Aug. 6 rally advocating fasting and prayer in response to national crises. But on Aug. 2, he would not meet with Rep. Paul Davis to discuss the closing of Lawrence’s SRS office. Making time for the Texas rally while neglecting the plight of some of the least fortunate Kansans is shameful.

After he returns, the governor should atone by honoring his commitment to Davis and by coming to Lawrence to meet with SRS clients and their family members. He needs to look into the eyes of these people and listen to their voices. They have a right to know why he thinks that closing our SRS office is beneficial.

The governor’s priorities and character are questionable. His constituents must expect and demand accountability from him, now and in the future — a future that his decisions make more bleak.

Gov. Perry seems ready to run D E N V E R — Some wives don’t want their husbands to run for president — Alma Powell (Colin Powell) and Cheri Daniels (Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels).

Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry doesn’t have that problem.

In an interview with me following a well-received address to the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, Perry said, “My wife is a nurse and the daughter of a country doctor. She sees Obamacare with the potential to devastate this country. ... She basically said, ‘Listen, I know you love your job and you’re comfortable there, but your country is in trouble and you need to get off the sideline and get in this game, serve your country and do your duty.’ When someone you’ve known and been married to for 42-plus years (says that), it had a real impact on me. I had to go back and re-evaluate my consistent message that I don’t want to be president of the United States.”

If Anita Perry is on board, can her husband be far behind?

The “reluctant” candidate sounds like he’s all but in: “Seventy days ago this was not on my radar screen. I was happy and comfortable being governor of the state of Texas, one of the greater economies there is in this country. I will let the record speak for itself on job creation and what we’ve done.”

Perry’s job creation record is formidable. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 32,000 new jobs were created in Texas in June, more than in any other state. Proving his policies were not a one-off,

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

between June 2010 and June 2011, Texas added 220,000 new jobs, again more than the other “57 states,” as Barack Obama might say.

Perry sees the momentum that put the House back in Republican control and also narrowed the Senate Democratic majority carrying over into the 2012 election: “I don’t see it out of the realm of possibility to pick up another 20 to 30 House seats and a majority of 60 Republican senators and a consistent conservative president to really make a difference.”

He doesn’t make the connection, but this sounds like a criticism of fellow Texan George W. Bush for not being consistently conservative enough as president when he enjoyed a Republican congressional majority.

Perry is no “let’s all get along” conservative. He wants to make a political difference, mentioning the revival of the 10th Amendment, which guarantees states’ rights, as the way to reduce encroaching federal power: “America is not going to move forward until we remove restrictions of over-taxation, over-regulation

Head of massive KC drug ring gets life KANSAS CITY, MO. — A 43year-old Kansas City man who considered himself the “Michael Corleone of Kansas City” has been sentenced to life in federal prison without parole for his role in a multimillion dollar drug trafficking conspiracy.

Rasheed Shakur, also known as Charles G. Cook, was convicted in February of being the leader of a large-scale drug trafficking conspiracy. Federal prosecutors say the ring distributed millions of dollars worth of marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy in the Kansas City area from July 2004 through June 2009.

Thirty other people were charged in the conspiracy. Of those, 27 pleaded guilty, one is incarcerated in Mexico and two haven’t been caught.

In addition to his sentence, Shakur will forfeit nearly $3 million, three homes and two vehicles to the government.

KU FOOTBALL

Off and running

Kansas to meet G’town in Maui ——

Jayhawks’ men’s hoops slate loaded

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball team will play Georgetown in a first-round Maui Invitational contest at 11 p.m. Central time Monday, Nov. 21, at Lahaina Civic Center, ESPN announced Thursday.

The Jayhawks would face UCLA or Chaminade in either a winner’s bracket or loser’s bracket game on the following day. Other first-round games match Duke against Tennessee and Michigan versus Memphis.

“The Maui field is good every year, but this year it’s exceptional,” KU coach Bill Self said Thursday — a day that also included the release of KU’s I believe Big 12 Confer- this is the ence slate of games. “We hardest play George- schedule we town.

— with UCLA and Chami- — Ninth-year KU nade on our coach Bill Self side and, with Duke, Tennessee, Michigan and Memphis — certainly makes for the best field any tournament will have this year.”

Several national pundits have said ESPN would love a KUDuke matchup in the Maui final.

“The field is ridiculous,” said Larry Keating, KU special assistant to the athletic director in charge of scheduling. “It’s been called the toughest field the tournament has had. Bill and I talked about it a number of times.

There’s no easy game here.

“Chaminade is considered the only easy game, and even that’s always a risk,” Keating added, well aware the NCAA Div. II school beat Oklahoma last year.

As far as the Big 12 schedule, the Jayhawks will open against Kansas State on Jan. 4 in Allen Fieldhouse. After that, KU plays at Oklahoma and Texas Tech before returning home to face Iowa State and Baylor.

KU and Texas, the two winningest programs in Big 12 history, will meet twice in the regular season for the first time — at 3 p.m. Jan. 21 in Austin on CBS, and at 8 p.m. March 3 in Allen Fieldhouse on ESPN. ESPN has yet to announce its College Gameday schedule this season. KU currently has a pair of night games on Saturdays on ESPN — Feb. 4 at Missouri, to go with the UT game.

“I believe this is the hardest schedule we have played since I've been here,” ninth-year KU coach Self said. “Our strength of schedule and RPI have been in the top 10 almost yearly, but this will be the hardest schedule not only because of Kentucky (Nov. 15 in New York), the three games in Maui, South Florida (Dec. 3, Allen), Ohio State (Dec. 10, Allen), Long Beach State (Dec. 6, Allen), Davidson (Dec. 19, Sprint Center) and USC (Dec. 22 in Los Angeles), but on top of that you

RUNNING BACK DESHAUN SANDS (36) BURSTS OFF THE LINE as the Jayhawks run sprints during the team’s first fall practice on Thursday at the KU practice fields.

(and passing and catching and blocking and … )

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The first day of fall football practice is different for every player just about every year.

That held true Thursday, when Kansas University’s football team ran through its first official practice of the 2011 season, determined to move forward and leave behind the painful memories of last year’s disappointing season.

A small sample size of Jayhawks illustrated that f irst practice meant different things to do different guys.

But one belief all of them shared was that this year’s camp was going to be much different than last year’s.

That much they learned right away.

“Camp’s gonna be brutal,” senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson said. “Guys are competing at every position, and a lot of guys have that experience under their belts, and we didn’t have that last year. We’ve all been in the fire together, and the whole competition level has gone up. It’s a totally different level.”

Patterson’s run through Day One was the type experienced by the old veteran ready for one more ride. Instead of bouncing around with the eagerness of an underclassmen, Patterson seemed more focused on getting the most out of every moment.

“It is your last go, and I always tell the freshmen and the younger guys that I remember the first day I arrived on campus, and now it’s my last year,” Patterson said. “It’s gonna be done before you know it, and you

Hali, rest of Chiefs veterans finally report to camp The Chiefs wrapped up two important pieces of their roster: CB Brandon Carr and third-round pick Justin Houston. Story on page 6B

ST. JOSEPH, MO. (AP) — Tamba Hali jogged down the long, grassy hillside to the practice field at Missouri Western State University, the modest crowd on hand for the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice bursting into applause.

Yes, the veterans have finally arrived at training camp.

One day after agreeing to a five-year, $60 million contract, Hali joined the Chiefs in their

first full-squad practice since arriving in St. Joseph. Veteran free agents had been unable to participate until Thursday, when the new collective bargaining agreement was ratified and the league year officially began.

Hali joined newcomers such as wide receiver Steve Breaston, defensive tackle Kelly Gregg and fullback Le’Ron McClain on the practice fields, donning shoulder

pads and helmets on a warm, humid evening.

“It was different, just hanging out, not being here with the guys,” said Gregg, the former Baltimore Ravens lineman who arrived several days ago but has been forced to work out on his own while waiting for the goahead to participate in practice.

“You want to get here and get acclimated.”

The Chiefs pushed back the start of Thursday’s practice by half an hour in anticipation of the new CBA being ratified.

Typically punctual, players didn’t start filtering out of the locker room until about 15 minutes after practice was scheduled to begin — or about the same time word of ratif ication f inally reached them.

Breaston, Gregg and the rest of

the veterans wasted no time jumping into the fray.

The former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver lined up in the slot early in practice, and Gregg found himself working with a young group of defensive line1 men throughout the nearly 2 ⁄2 hour workout.

Lockout over; new CBA ratified WASHINGTON (AP) — Quarterback Donovan McNabb eagerly bounded onto the practice field with his Minnesota Vikings teammates in Mankato, Minn., on Thursday afternoon, before being told he and other NFL players with new contracts still needed to be patient.

And then, shortly before 5 p.m.

EDT, the good news came: The wait was over. The NFL officially was back in business, CBA and all.

That 41⁄2-month lockout? A thing of the past in every way.

“Were we going to have the opportunity to step on the field today? Was this thing going to linger?” McNabb said, explaining his thoughts while on hold for word of a completed collective bargaining agreement. “Good thing we got this thing settled. And now here we are.”

Players ratified a new, 10-year CBA on Thursday, hours after it was finalized, and two people familiar with the negotiations told the Associated Press the contract

COMMENTARY

Tiger gives gallery taste of old magic

allows the NFL eventually to become the first major U.S. professional sports league to use blood testing for human growth hormone.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement had been made about the details of the CBA. Players would be subject to random testing for HGH, in addition to annual checks — as is the case for all banned substances in the league’s drug-testing program —

only after the union is confident in the way the testing and appeals process will work.

“We have to see if we agree with the test,” Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis said. “If we agree with the test, then it’s legit. If not, they have to come up with another one.”

The aim is to have everything worked out in time to start HGH testing by Week 1 of the regular season, but that is not guaranteed.

ALWAYS A REASON TO WATCH

By Marla Ridenour Akron Beacon Journal

AKRON, OHIO — Until the 16th hole, the most striking thing about Tiger Woods’ first competitive round in 12 weeks was the silence.

His large gallery at Akron’s Firestone Country Club on Thursday didn’t explode over long-par saves on the third and ninth holes.

Devotees attending the first round of the Bridgestone Invitational probably didn’t know that his birdie at No. 10 was his first since the 15th hole on Sunday of the Masters Tournament on April 10, even as he tacked on another at No. 11.

They might have noticed he wasn’t wincing or limping, which had become common with the left knee and Achilles problems that had limited him to six previous tournaments in 2011. But there wasn’t any chatter about that, with Woods’ sweat-soaked pants and interim caddie Bryon Bell dominating their observations at the World Golf Championships tournament.

“I’d be a better caddie than that caddie,” a young man at the fifth tee said of Woods’ friend since the seventh grade.

“He’s a nerdy guy. He’s like ‘A-squared plus B-squared equals driver.”’

But most of Woods’ faithful merely watched quietly and waited for magic.

After a bogey at No. 14, a flash of it finally came at No. 16, the 667-yard par-5.

The hole known as “The Monster” encapsulated the state of Woods’ game during a 2-under round of 68 that left him six strokes behind leader Adam Scott.

When Woods’ drive strayed toward the right trees, he pulled out a fairway wood and hit a cut shot that sailed 269 yards and landed in the middle of the fairway short of the water, just 79 yards from the pin.

It seemed like the roar could have been heard downtown at Canal Park.

“I tell you, he’s going to be there on Sunday,” an older man told his friend.

“I smoked it,” Woods said. “I didn’t think I could get it that far down there.”

The “wows” had hardly died down when Woods hit a mediocre wedge to the back of the green.

“He’s been hitting every other shot good,” lamented another follower.

But Woods poured in a 30-foot putt for birdie to send the gallery into a frenzy again.

“I just got goose bumps,” said a man near the green. “I’ve never seen anything like that.”

After a solid but unspectacular round, there were smiles in the Woods camp, especially from agent Mark Steinberg.

Jason Day completed a 7-under 63 just as Woods was teeing off and wasn’t even escorted to the media center for an interview, because there was no one there.

Scott’s round of 62 was 1 shot off the course record shared by Woods and Jose Maria Olazabal, but Scott’s line of questioning was more about his hiring of Woods’ recently fired caddie of 12 years, Steve Williams than his own play.

Some of the world’s best players, like Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and Luke Donald, are in the hunt. Young stars like Nick Watney, Day and Ryan Moore have a chance for a $1.53 million payday.

Yet this tournament will still be all about Woods and whether he’s really back.

The world has had its TMZ-fix with Woods. It has seen his marriage implode, watched his reputation shatter. Now it seems ready for its golf fix.

His greeting at the first tee was loud, but not massive considering the number of spectators. His first drive found the bunker, which subdued the crowd.

A man standing along the first fairway broke the silence.

“Let’s go, Tiger. It’s your house, baby, your house,” the man shouted. Striding down the fairway with his left leg finally pain-free, Woods looked over and nodded.

It seemed like a signal. Game on.

FANS REACT AS TIGER WOODS HITS from off the 16th fairway during first-round play in the Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2011.

Woods shoots 2-under in return at Firestone AKRON, OHIO — The day brought out some of the vintage Tiger Woods, like the low, hard cut that nearly reached the end of the short grass at No. 16. There also were a few putts that stayed out, plus a continued aversion to the fairway.

But if there was one word to sum up Woods’ first competitive round in 12 weeks, it might be “strong.”

Maybe too strong.

“I hit the ball really flush,” Woods said after Thursday’s 2-under-par 68 at the WGCBridgestone Invitational. “The hardest part I had today was controlling my distances because I hadn’t hit the ball this flush in a long time.”

Woods will have some ground to make up, trailing Adam Scott — and former caddie Steve Williams — by six shots. Scott’s four birdies in his last six holes left him with a 62 that fell just short of Woods’ course record set 11 years ago.

But if nothing else, Woods’ highly anticipated return managed to put two things in the rear-view mirror.

He hung around longer than the last time he stepped inside the ropes at a PGA Tour event. And he already has a better round than at any time during last year’s visit to Firestone Country Club, when he tied for next-to-last.

“It feels great,” said Woods, who cut short his last start after just nine holes at The Players Championship. “My practice sessions were good, so there’s no reason why I should be worried out there. I went out there and just let it go.”

MLB A-Rod’s rep denies gambling reports CHICAGO— Alex Rodriguez kept matters strictly on his physical rehab Thursday in Florida, while letting his publicist respond to allegations of the slugger’s past participation in illegal poker games.

In a statement, A-Rod’s publicist Richard Rubenstein said there were “numerous factual inaccuracies” in Star Magazine’s report about the Yankee third baseman’s involvement in high stakes poker.

Rubenstein added that A-Rod “looks forward to cooperating with Major League Baseball’s investigation.”

A-Rod acknowledged that he’d have no personal comment about the poker allegations Thursday at Tampa, following his first baseball workout since the July 11 arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.

The commissioner’s office said it takes the matter “very seriously,” and officials plan to interview A-Rod. However, MLB has yet to contact the Yankees about any findings and have not warned the club of a possible suspension, according to industry sources. A suspension would be an unlikely result.

Molina suspended five games MIAMI — St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina has been suspended five games by Major League Baseball for his run-in with umpire Rob Drake in Milwaukee.

Molina decided not to appeal the suspension after talking to his agent and to Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak. He has a bruised right hand that he suffered while trying to block a pitch in Wednesday’s game, and it had been determined earlier Thursday that he would not be in Thursday night’s lineup.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL LSU assistant has Parkinson’s BATON ROUGE, LA. — LSU assistant coach Steve Kragthorpe has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and is relinquishing his duties as offensive coordinator, but is remaining on the Tigers’ staff.

Kragthorpe, who was hired during the offseason, will remain as the quarterbacks’ coach, while offensive line coach Greg Studrawa has been elevated to offensive coordinator.

NFL DT Patterson has brain condition BETHLEHEM, PA. — The Eagles are “pretty sure” that Mike Patterson’s seizure during training camp Wednesday was caused by a brain condition called arteriovenous malformation (AVM), although Patterson’s agent cautioned that any diagnosis was premature.

AVM is the tangling of blood vessels right outside the brain. Eagles head trainer Rick Burkholder said that after a series of tests at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown it was determined that Patterson likely had a congenital form of AVM. “I’m pretty sure that’s what caused the seizure,” Burkholder said Thursday. “We’re pretty sure it was not football-related. Now, the next course of evaluation and treatment for Mike is that they’ll continue to do testing, possibly some in Lehigh Valley and some in Philadelphia.”

Treatment for AVM often depends upon the severity of the condition. It could require surgery, radiation therapy, or nothing at all.

WR Cotchery cut by Jets on request FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — A few hours after Jerricho Cotchery reminisced about his Jets career, he was gone.

New York released the popular wide receiver Thursday, apparently clearing the way for veteran Derrick Mason to sign with the team.

But in a late twist to the story, Rex Ryan said that was the way the popular wide receiver wanted it.

“It was tough,” Ryan said a few hours after the move. “J-Co wanted to ... he asked for a trade or to be released and that’s what happened.”

Earlier in the day, Cotchery said, “I love being a Jet,” and it appeared it was not his idea to leave. Cotchery, the subject of recent trade rumors, said he thought he would be cut if Mason — brought in by the Jets for a visit — passed his physical.

NASCAR Edwards re-signs with Roush Carl Edwards spurned an offer from Joe Gibbs Racing and signed a multi-year contract extension with current team Roush Fenway Racing.

The deal was announced Thursday and puts Edwards, the current Sprint Cup Series points leader, in position to compete for his first Cup championship.

“I sincerely appreciate the amazing opportunity that Jack Roush has given me in this sport and am honored to race for him,” Edwards said in a statement.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Alex Gordon whom the Kansas City Royals drafted second overall in 2005 is finally reaching expectations six years later.

Gordon matched his career-high with four hits, and Yamaico Navarro drove in three runs to the lead the Royals over the Baltimore Orioles, 9-4, on Thursday night.

Gordon hit .215 in 74 games last year and entered 2011 with a .244 average. With the four hits, Gordon hiked his average to .311. After he grounded out in his final at-bat, Billy Butler approached him in the dugout.

“I went down there and told him, ‘You couldn’t get five?”’

Butler said laughing. “He’s doing great. I’m happy for him. He’s swinging the bat

better than I’ve ever seen him.

I hope he can ride it and keep staying consistent like he is.

He’s really turned the corner.

He’s made a lot of adjustments and really come into his own.”

Gordon leads the Royals with 34 doubles and is tied for the team lead with 14 home runs.

“He’s as close as you can get to dominating right now,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He’s putting great atbats together. He’s hitting the ball hard. He’s hitting doubles, home runs. He’s driving in runs. He’s doing everything.

He had four great swings tonight and smoked the ball four times.”

The Royals sent 11 men to the plate in a six-run sixth inning to break open the

game. The inning included eight hits with Navarro doubling home two runs and Chris Getz stroking a two-run single. Melky Cabrera and Butler added run-producing singles in the inning.

“We started that inning down a run,” Butler said.

“Then we just broke out and put the game away. We took the momentum. We got some big hits here and big hits there. We put up nine runs and we cruised to an easy victory, which is always fun.”

The Royals had 17 hits with every starter having at least one.

Reliever Blake Wood (5-0) worked two hitless innings, walking two and striking out two, to pick up the victory. He pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the sixth.

National League Cardinals 7, Marlins 4 MIAMI — Albert Pujols hit his 25th home run and finished a triple shy of the cycle, and six relievers combined to pitch six innings to help St. Louis beat Florida on Thursday night.

Pujols came into the game only 1-for-14 on the Cardinals’ trip. He walked and scored in the first inning, singled and scored in the third, homered in the fourth and doubled in the sixth.

Marlins second baseman Omar Infante broke his right middle finger diving for a grounder in the third.

Phillies 3, Giants 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Cliff Lee threw a seven-hitter, and Hunter Pence and John Mayberry hit back-to-back home runs.

Lee (11-7) was commanding in his first regular-season start against the Giants in two years, striking out eight, including Cody Ross four times, and not walking a hitter. He set down 10 in a row at one point in his fifth shutout this season.

It was also some revenge for Lee, who lost twice to the Giants in last year’s World Series pitching for Texas.

Indians 7, Red Sox 3 BOSTON — Justin Masterson struck out nine and again beat his former team, and Carlos Santana hit a go-ahead home run for Cleveland.

The Indians won for only the fourth time in 15 games.

The four-game split prevented Cleveland from falling below .500 for the first time since they were 1-2 to start the season.

Erik Bedard, making his Red Sox debut after being acquired from Seattle, gave up three runs and seven hits in five innings.

’Horns eager to move forward ——

UT opens camp without senior WR A USTIN , T EXAS (AP ) — The Texas Longhorns reported to training camp Thursday ready to leave behind the smoldering wreckage of their dismal 2010, but even the fresh start on a new season came with the news they’ll be without yet another veteran receiver.

Coach Mack Brown said senior Malcolm Williams, a well-liked player who was also a key contributor on special teams, left the team for personal reasons.

“Malcolm’s got some family issues,” Brown said without elaborating. “He’s been an outstanding player for us. He had some tough things happen. I think this summer he was planning on playing ... I want what’s best for him.”

Williams played in 39 games, starting 18. He had 1,188 yards receiving and seven touchdowns. His departure further depletes a group of receivers that will also be missing junior Marquise Goodwin, the U.S. national long jump champion who is skipping the 2011 football season to concentrate on the track world championships and a chance to qualify for the 2012 Olympics.

Reserve receivers Brock Fitzhenry also will not return and Greg Timmons, who played mostly on special teams last season, announced in June he would transfer.

“We’re thin there,” Brown said. “It puts us in a tough spot with numbers.”

The Longhorns’ 5-7 finish last season was Brown’s first losing season at Texas and first in 20 years as a head coach.

Brown revamped his staff with seven new assistants and declared every position open in the spring and in training camp to renew a sense of urgency in a program that Brown says had settled into a sense of entitlement.

“I think everybody has renewed intensity,” senior linebacker Emmanuel Acho said. “You learn you’ve got to keep swinging.”

But even with the changes, the Longhorns have been picked to finish in the middle or bottom half of the new 10team Big 12, well below rivals Oklahoma and Texas A&M. Texas went 2-5 at home last season and goes on the road to play four of the teams that beat the Longhorns in Austin last season.

“Anytime you come off a season like last year, you have a lot to prove,” senior safety Blake Gideon said.

The biggest position battle of training camp will be at quarterback, where junior Garrett Gilbert is fighting to keep the starters’ job after throwing 17 interceptions against just 10 touchdowns last season.

Competing with Gilbert is sophomore Case McCoy, the younger brother of former Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, redshirt freshman Connor Wood and true freshman David Ash. McCoy threw only one pass last season but arguably outplayed Gilbert in the spring game.

Brown hasn’t given any hint as to who he expects to emerge as the starter for the Sept. 3 season opener against Rice. Their teammates were reluctant to shed much light on what they saw in offseason practices, but junior defensive end Alex Okafor said Gilbert “really picked up his leadership.”

Brown, who often says the players know who should be the starter, said he’s talked to them about the quarterbacks but wouldn’t reveal what he’s heard. The coaches will chart every throw and design drills that should allow the potential starter to elevate himself from the group.

“The biggest thing is leadership,” Brown said. “You’ve got to protect the ball. You’ve got to put the ball in the end zone. We feel like it’s going to be a great battle.”

BIG 12 PREVIEW

Despite change, OU still rules ————

Oklahoma (again) favorite to win new-look conference

By Stephen Hawkins

Brown’s arrival in 1998, even with 5-7 record last season. ...

Nine returners on defense have combined for 131 career starts. ... With Garrett Gilbert’s struggles last season, there could be another McCoy at quarterback — sophomore Case, Colt’s younger brother.

Associated Press Sports Writer

There are no more divisions and two fewer teams.

Welcome to the new-look Big 12, where one thing hasn’t changed.

Oklahoma is still king.

The Sooners have won seven of the last 11 titles, including a season ago before Nebraska and Colorado left the 15-year-old conference.

Now with confident quarterback Landry Jones throwing to All-America receiver Ryan Broyles and linebacker Travis Lewis fronting a solid defense, Oklahoma is an overwhelming favorite to win another Big 12 trophy and be a national championship contender.

“I think we are,” Jones said.

“At OU, we have the talent year in and year out to be at that game.”

Coach Bob Stoops won a national title in 2000, his second season in Oklahoma. The coach is still looking for No. 2 even though the Sooners have played for the championship three more times since then.

Texas, which won the Big 12’s last national title six seasons ago, is trying to recover from the humbling of its first losing season under Mack Brown. Texas A&M still has to prove it can be consistently good under Mike Sherman while Oklahoma State is loaded on offense for Mike Gundy but has to quickly grow up on defense.

Jones led the Big 12 with 4,718 yards passing and 38 touchdowns last season, when the Sooners finished 122 with a five-game winning streak after their two-touchdown loss at Texas A&M. The Aggies had a six-game winning streak before their Cotton Bowl loss to LSU that denied them a 10-win season.

With a round-robin conference schedule, there are no more worries about divisional tiebreakers — such as the three-way mess three seasons ago when Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech all were 7-1 in the South and 11-1 overall. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M had a three-way tie atop the South last year.

“At the end of the season there won’t be any teams that say that a certain team from the North or a certain team from the South didn’t play each other and didn’t deserve to be in a conference championship game,” Gundy said.

“Ultimately at the end of the season, whoever has the best record in the conference will be the conference champion.”

CB Carr, DE Houston join fold ST. JOSEPH, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up deals with two important pieces of their roster Thursday, signing cornerback Brandon Carr to his free-agent tender and agreeing to terms with third-round pick Justin Houston on a four-year contract.

A person familiar with Houston’s deal said it is worth $2.78 million with a $671,000 signing bonus. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team did not announce the contract.

The Chiefs had placed a first-round tender on Carr, who will receive $2,611,000 and could become a free agent after this season. He was on the practice field for the first time Thursday, but refused to say whether the reason it took so long to sign was because he was considering offers from other teams.

“Today is the start date for every free agent, so it’s time for me to start and I’m ready to play,” said Carr, referring to

the new collective bargaining agreement that was ratified Thursday, which allowed veteran free agents to participate fully in practice for the first time.

“I feel good,” Carr said.

“This whole offseason I’ve been training, doing drills, trying to simulate game-type situations and get ready to get out here. Trying to get my feet under me.”

Carr, a former fifth-round draft pick, paired with Brandon Flowers last season to form one of the marquee cornerback tandems in the NFL. The 25-year-old from Grand Valley State has started all 48 games he’s played in over the past three seasons, making 207 tackles and four interceptions while forcing four fumbles.

Carr wasted no time joining the Chiefs on the campus of Missouri Western State University, jumping into every segment of practice and then spending more time than anybody else signing autographs for the modest crowd that

came out to watch on a warm, humid evening.

“I’m excited to be back with football period,” Carr said.

“It’s been a long, long offseason since our last wild-card game, so just excited to be back on the field.”

Houston, the 70th overall draft pick out of Georgia, was among the last rookies to sign.

The 6-foot-3, 270-pound defensive end is expected to bolster the Chiefs’ pass rush along with outside linebacker Tamba Hali, who agreed to a five-year deal worth $60 million on Wednesday. Houston had 19 sacks during three seasons with Bulldogs, including 10 last season.

The Chiefs also announced the signing Thursday of free agent safety Sabby Piscitelli, who played in 50 games and made 20 starts over the past four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns.

The former second-round draft pick has made 115 tackles and five interceptions in his career.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS LINEBACKER BRANDON SILER heads toward the practice fields Thursday in St. Joseph, Mo.

Veterans CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

on the field and trying to get some camp legs, whittle them down and build them back up, so you’re ready for the season,” said Breaston, who caught 187 passes for 2,528 yards and seven touchdowns during his time with the Cardinals.

General manager Scott Pioli brought in Breaston to give quarterback Matt Cassel another option besides emerging star Dwayne Bowe and first-round draft pick Jonathan Baldwin, who did not participate in practice on Thursday because of an undisclosed injury.

“It was tough,” Breaston said of leaving the Cardinals, where he had spent his entire career since being drafted in the fifth round out of Michigan. “A lot of relationships out there — I’m not going to lie. It was a very tough decision. But the opportunity was presented to me, I talked to coach (Todd) Haley and he always talked about building something special, and I want to be a part of something out here.”

Gregg also said the allure of playing for an up-and-coming franchise played a part in his decision.

“Being in that defensive line with all those young guys makes me feel young,” said the 34-year-old Gregg. “I’m going to have to keep up with these guys. They’re talented.”

CHIEFS TACKLE BARRY RICHARDSON, LEFT, and linebacker Tamba Hali take a break during camp.

The Chiefs hope that Gregg can help plug holes in the middle of the defensive line while also tutoring a cast of young players that includes sixth-round draft pick Jerrell Powe, a 320pound project who could emerge as precisely the kind of run-stuffing tackle the team has been missing the past couple years.

“Kelly Gregg is one of those guys, I’ve talked about them, probably coming out the odds were stacked against him right out of the gate,” Haley said. “Not prototypical size and speed and those things, but much like Casey Wiegmann, he didn’t listen to it, and he’s had a great career to this point.

“He’s going to be a positive influence for all those young

guys, that entire room,” Haley added, “and for me that’s going to be a resource.”

Haley was also pleased to have McClain in camp after the former All-Pro fullback agreed to terms on a one-year deal. McClain had a couple of stellar seasons with the Ravens but was relegated to a blocking role for Ray Rice the past couple years, paving the way for one of the league’s dynamic young running backs.

Now he’ll be called upon to do the same for Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones.

“Really just coming in and doing anything I can do to help the team win. If I have to block, I’m going to do that. If I need to run, I’ll do that,” McClain said. “It’s not about me, it’s about the Chiefs.”

That sentiment is music to the ears of Haley and the coaching staff.

Any concerns about the veterans mixing in with the rest of the roster were likely n i xe d e a rly i n p ra c t i ce Thursday. Older players t rad e d o ff w i t h t h e i r younger counterparts during individual and group drills, and they wrapped up practice by throwing what could be their starting lineup for their preseason opener on the field.

“We’ve done a great job of getting some great players in here. Now it’s just a matter of playing catch up like everyone else in the league,” veteran safety Jon McGraw said.

“Now it’s just a matter of the coaches getting us acclimated in the process with all these crazy things going on.”

I am an elderly widow in good shape. Her daughter has great difficulty abiding by my rules. I can make a few adjustments, but still, the girl seems constantly distracted and hyperactive. She also snoops into my things and takes stuff that doesn’t belong to her. anniesmailbox@comcast.net My daughter is doing a good job with a difficult child, but she can I do? — Tired of Wet Beds seems to have a lot of blind spots.

There also is often an inherited predisposition. At the age of 14, your stepson’s emotional and social life can suffer enormously from bedwetting. Shame on his parents for ignoring the problem and undermining all efforts to stay dry. You can invest in an alarm that will go off if the bed becomes wet. You also can insist that your stepson launder his own sheets or, better yet, that your husband wash them. Maybe that will impress upon him the need to be more supportive of his son’s development.

A decidedly offbeat documentary series about the deadly serious world of competitive facial hair grooming, “Whisker Wars” (10 p.m., IFC) just may grow on you.

As in the best documentaries, “Wars” opens up a world most viewers never imagined and examines its minute permutations, subcultures and rivalries. For the uninitiated, facial hair contests usually consist of five categories: Mustache, Partial Beard, Full Beard Groomed, Freestyle and Full Beard Natural. That last category is the heavyweight level, the most prestigious prize.

As “Wars” begins, a San Francisco dandy known as Jack Passion owns that title and has tried to “brand” himself as America’s preeminent beardsman. Even with all of his self-promotion, he has yet to take America by storm. His book isn’t exactly selling and he appears to be dependent on his girlfriend, a woman who makes her living as a house sitter and dog walker.

For all of his setbacks, Passion’s inyour-face attitude doesn’t sit well with a bunch from Texas who belong to the Austin Facial Hair Club. They bristle at his audacity. And they’re ready to rumble.

“Whisker Wars” will air over seven weeks. It never takes itself terribly seriously. But I’m not sure if you can exactly describe a show as tongue-in-cheek when you never get to see much of anybody’s face. ● Jason Priestley will join the cast of “Haven” (9 p.m., Syfy) for four episodes beginning tonight and running through Sept. 9.

Priestley plays a good-looking but cranky marine biologist named Chris Weekly, who mysteriously inspires warm feelings and affection in everyone he meets. Alone in Haven, only FBI agent Parker (Emily Rose) appears to be immune to his odd love bug.

In the days since “90210,” Priestley has done a good job of choosing quirky projects. Most recently, he’s appeared as a selfish car dealer accompanied by his guardian angel in the dark Canadian comedy “Call Me Fitz,” picked up earlier this year by Direct TV. One of my favorite of his oddball roles was in “Love and Death on Long Island,” a dark, little-seen 1997 pop-culture variation on Thomas Mann’s novella “Death in Venice.” Priestley plays a variation on his “90210” role, a nice, if vacant, star of raunchy teen comedies who becomes the object of obsession for an aging intellectual played by the remarkable actor John Hurt.

Tonight’s other highlights ● An undercover sting operation gets murky on “Flashpoint” (7 p.m., CBS). ● Thirteen returns from prison on “House” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Caught on camera on “Primetime: What Would You Do?” (8 p.m., ABC). ● In search of the mother ship on “Whale Wars” (8 p.m., Animal Planet). ● After three cons are sprung, one comes gunning for the family on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS). ● The agency goes underground to investigate the so-called “Miracle” on “Torchwood” (9 p.m., Starz).

Dear Annie: I have been married to “John” for six years. We both have children from our f irst marriages.

John’s oldest son is now 14 and still wets the bed. I suggested not allowing the boy to drink anything after 7 p.m. and always making sure he uses the bathroom before bed. My husband did not follow through on either of those. My stepson had been using children’s diapers, but now that he needs an adult size, he refuses to wear them.

Both of the boy’s parents have ignored the problem. Six months ago, I took my stepson to the doctor because I’m tired of washing two loads of sheets every day. The doctor prescribed medication, but my husband’s ex-wife refuses to believe he needs it, so her son doesn’t take the pills when he’s at her house.

My stepson is embarrassed about the bedwetting, so I don’t understand why he refuses to wear the adult diapers and “forgets” to take his medication. He sometimes won’t even make an effort to use the bathroom before he goes to sleep. A few nights ago, he came out of his room at 10 p.m. to get a drink of water. My husband saw him and did nothing.

In the meantime, I get stuck with the laundry. The most frustrating thing is my husband’s attitude. I don’t get it. What else

has chased ghosts Why did turkey recall take so long? ofFBID.B. Cooper before First sickness was reported in March

By Mike Baker Associated Press Writer

By Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — The first sickness was in March and the first signs of a salmonella outbreak appeared in May. Two months later, investigators linked the outbreak to ground turkey and a Cargill meat processing plant in Arkansas.

On Wednesday, almost five months after the first illness, the Agriculture Department asked Minnesota-based Cargill to recall 36 million pounds of ground turkey, saying the meat was linked to a death in California and at least 77 illnesses.

Tracking down the source of an illness is a difficult, complicated business, and federal officials defended the months-long process Thursday by saying they wanted to be absolutely sure before they asked Cargill to initiate the third-largest meat recall in history.

“There was an aggressive and thorough investigation that came together over time to paint one picture of this outbreak,” said Dr. Christopher Braden, an epidemiologist at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which investigated the outbreak with the Agriculture Department.

Investigations are often delayed because victims can’t remember what they ate or aren’t cooperative, says Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

But DeWaal says she believes the government should have told the company — and the public — about the possible outbreak much sooner.

“Clearly this kind of delay in an outbreak situation is one that puts the public health at risk,” DeWaal said.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, DConn., a longtime advocate for stronger food safety laws, sent Agriculture Secretary

A TRUCKLOAD OF LIVE TURKEYS ARRIVES Thursday at the Cargill turkey processing plant in Springdale, Ark. The Agriculture Department and the Minnesota-based company announced Wednesday evening that Cargill is recalling fresh and frozen ground turkey products produced at the company’s Springdale, Ark., plant from Feb. 20 through Aug. 2 because of possible contamination from the strain of salmonella linked to at least 77 illnesses and one death.

Tom Vilsack and CDC Director Thomas Frieden a letter Thursday questioning why it took so long to announce the recall.

“It is simply unacceptable that after more than four months of illnesses and more than 10 weeks of investigation by both the CDC and the USDA we have so few answers to the obvious questions surrounding this outbreak,” DeLauro wrote.

Braden and David Goldman of the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said at a briefing Thursday that authorities weren’t sure about the source of the outbreak until July, when they identified it through shopper’s card information from victims who had purchased the Cargill turkey, and a leftover sample of turkey from a victim’s home. Previous evidence from the investigation had pointed not just to Cargill, but other companies as well, they said.

Less conclusive evidence had pointed toward the Cargill plant in Springdale, Ark., much earlier, however.

Samples of Cargill ground turkey purchased at four retail locations as part of rou-

tine testing between March 7 and June 27 showed contamination with the same strain of salmonella, though those samples were not specifically linked to the illnesses. Routine salmonella testing in 2010 also showed the pathogen at the plant.

Part of the difficulty for investigators is that USDA rules make it harder to investigate and recall salmonellatainted poultry. Because salmonella is so common in poultry, it is not illegal for meat to be tainted with the pathogen.

General guidance to consumers is to cook ground turkey to 165 degrees and to handle it properly before it is cooked. If it is cooked and handled properly, it is safe.

Braden and Goldman warned consumers to check their freezers for the contaminated products because frozen ground turkey has a long shelf life. The recall involves fresh and frozen ground turkey products produced at the company’s Springdale, Ark., plant from Feb. 20 through Aug. 2.

All of the packages recalled include the code “Est. P-963,” according to Cargill, though packages were labeled under

many different brands. Many of the recalled meats are under the label Honeysuckle White. Other brands include Riverside Ground Turkey, Natural Lean Ground Turkey, Fit & Active Lean Ground Turkey and Shady Brook Farms Ground Turkey Burgers.

The recall also includes some ground turkey products packaged under the HEB, Safeway, Kroger, Randall’s, Tom Thumb and Giant Eagle grocery store brands or sold at those stores.

The recall also includes some ground turkey that isn’t labeled at all and some that went to food service establishments, according to Cargill.

Seventy-seven illnesses in the outbreak — an increase of one from the 76 illnesses reported earlier in the week — have been reported in 26 states coast to coast. A chart on the CDC’s website shows cases have occurred every month since early March, with spikes in May and early June. The latest reported cases were in July, although the CDC said some recent cases may not have been reported yet.

TEXAS

— Ralph Himmelsbach, the FBI agent assigned to the D.B. Cooper case before he retired in 1981 land International Airport.

With a ticket under the name Dan Cooper, he took seat 18F, ordered a bourbon and water.

Then he handed a flight attendant a note: “Miss, I’ve got a bomb, come sit next to me — you’re being hijacked.”

Cooper (a law enforcement official later erroneously referred to him as “D.B.” and the initials stuck) opened a briefcase that appeared to contain explosives and demanded $200,000 and parachutes. Officials met his demands when the plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where passengers and two flight attendants were released.

The man in 18F then ordered the flight crew to take the plane back into the air, insisting that it fly at an altitude of no more than 10,000 feet on its way to Mexico through Reno, Nevada.

About 40 minutes after takeoff, a signal light in the cockpit showed that the plane’s rear stairway had been extended. When the jet landed in Reno, the stairs were down and two parachutes, the money and Cooper were gone.

Himmelsbach has long theorized that Cooper didn’t survive the jump into the frigid air and rugged terrain around the Washington-Oregon border. A child digging in a sand bar on the north bank of the Columbia River west of Vancouver found a bundle of $20 bills in 1980 that had serial numbers matching some of the ransom money.

There’s been no other sign of where Cooper went.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Drought may last another year S A N A N T O N I O ( AP ) — The drought that has turned Texas and parts of the Plains into a parched moonscape of cracked earth could persist into next year, prolonging the misery of farmers and ranchers who have endured a dry spell that is now expected to be the state’s worst since the 1950s.

The U.S. Climate Prediction Center said Thursday that the La Niña weather phenomenon blamed for the crippling lack of rain might be back soon, just two months after the last La Niña ended. If that happens, the drought would almost certainly extend into 2012.

The extreme dry conditions have been made worse by week after week of tripledigit temperatures, which have caused reservoirs to evaporate, crops to wither and animals and fish to die off by the thousands.

“The suffering and desperate need for relief grows with the rising temperatures and record-breaking heat that continue to scorch Texas with each passing day,” state Agricultural Commissioner Todd Staples said.

Even the state’s feral hogs are hiding from the heat, postponing a new reality TV show about Texans gunning them down from helicopters.

Texas saw less than an inch of rain statewide in July, and more than 90 percent of the state is already in the two most extreme stages of drought.

“Anything below 2 to 3 inches of rainfall would be a flyon-the-windshield type thing as far as improvement,” said Victor Murphy, a climate expert with the National Weather Service. “It wouldn’t reverse this continued death spiral we’re on.”

OLYMPIA, WASH. — One suspect made a deathbed confession that he was the nevercaptured skyjacker D.B. Cooper. Another was a fugitive at the time of the hijacking. Still another was an airline worker and former paratrooper.

Each had a face that closely resembled Cooper’s. None were him.

For nearly 40 years, the FBI has chased the ghost of the man responsible for the nation’s only unsolved hijacking, with each exhausted lead growing his stature in American folklore.

The latest example to pique public fascination — and FBI interest — is an Oklahoma woman who claims her uncle was the man who parachuted out of a plane in 1971 with a $200,000 ransom.

Piecing together memories from when she was 8 years old and comments her parents made in recent years, Marla Cooper said she is certain that the legendary D.B. Cooper is actually Lynn Doyle Cooper.

She said her uncle arrived at the family home in Oregon, bloodied and bruised, shortly after the hijacking of the Northwest Orient airliner.

She said she overheard her uncles talking about having hijacked a plane.

The FBI agent assigned to the case before his retirement in 1980 is skeptical. Ralph Himmelsbach is no longer involved in any part of the Cooper investigation but recalled chasing hundreds of potential suspects over the years.

“To date, none of them has panned out,” he said.

“We still do not know who is, or was, or where he came from, or where he went,” he said. “This is still a mystery.”

What investigators do know is that on Nov. 24, 1971, a man in his mid-40s and wearing dark sunglasses boarded a Boeing 727 at Port-

“

We still do not know who is, or was, or where he came from, or where he went. This is still a mystery.”

AN ANTARCTIC PENGUIN THAT WOUND UP STRANDED on a New Zealand beach is prepared for an X-ray June 29 at Wellington Zoo in Wellington, New Zealand. The wayward emperor penguin, who will soon be returned to the wild, already boasts an Internet following of more than 120,000.

Penguin eats, sleeps, waddles to Web’s delight

By Nick Perry Associated Press Writer

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND — Happy Feet is now a creature of the Internet age.

The wayward emperor penguin, discovered on a New Zealand beach six weeks ago, will soon be returned to the wild — but not before he picked up an online following of more than 120,000.

That’s how many unique visitors have logged onto a Web camera monitoring his every move. Thousands more are expected to follow the updates after he’s released in coming weeks, with feeds from a GPS tracker attached to his back posted online.

And then there’s the chatter on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

His followers don’t seem bothered that Happy Feet, nicknamed after the 2006 animated movie, does little more than eat, sleep and occasionally waddle.

“At 11:20 p.m. in New Zealand, Happy Feet was sound asleep with his left foot and flipper sticking out,” one Facebook fan wrote. “Five minutes later, he pulled in his left foot and

flipper and just got up! :)” The penguin was found June 20 on Peka Peka Beach, about 40 miles northwest of Wellington and far from his Antarctic feeding grounds. He was moved four days later to the Wellington Zoo after becoming ill from eating sand, which he likely mistook for snow.

He has since gained weight and been given a clean bill of health to return to the ocean.

His unusual journey captured worldwide interest, with local TV3 station setting up a webcam on June 30 in his small, ice-filled room at the zoo.

The phone calls began coming in soon after, even prompting the zoo one night to send a veterinarian to check on the penguin after the station was swamped by worried callers convinced Happy Feet had died, zoo spokeswoman Kate Baker said. It turned out the penguin was sleeping.

One woman wrote an email to TV3 saying she was ill but taking “a lot of comfort in simply watching the penguin.”

“It’s kind of like O. Henry’s story ‘The Leaf,”’ wrote the woman, identified as Janet in Chicago. “I feel as long as the penguin does well, I’ll do well.”

A north-central Kansas farmer whose wheat fields entered in a statewide contest yielded nearly 105 bushels an acre said he’s never come close to having that size harvest in the eight years he’s been farming. Tom Austin of Minneapolis easily won this year’s Kansas Wheat Yield Contest, far outdistancing the harvests of two other regional winners. “We were expecting more in the mid-60s to mid70s range,” said Austin, 41.

“We were a little shocked.” The yield in the conventionally tilled field was 104.82 bushels an acre. It was certified by Cade Rensink, the district agricultural extension agent in Minneapolis, the Salina Journal reported Thursday.

Retailers report solid sales gains for July

By Anne D’Innocenzio Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — The back-toschool season got off to a strong start as discounts and high temperatures in July drove shoppers to air-conditioned malls. But merchants worry that momentum won’t continue through the remainder of the second-biggest shopping period of the year as the weather gets cold and the deals dry up.

Despite a flow of bad economic news that kept consumer confidence shaky, a number of retailers reported July revenue on Thursday that beat Wall Street estimates, including discounter Target, department store Macy’s, and luxury chain Saks. The International Council of Shopping Centers’ preliminary tally of retailers’ revenue at stores open at least a year — a key indicator of a merchant’s health — was up 4.6 percent, a slower pace than June’s 6.9 percent gain but in line with forecasts.

While the numbers offer encouraging signs for the start to the back-to-school shopping period, which runs roughly from mid-July through September, there are concerns that shoppers will stick to the habits of the Great Recession by focusing on necessities and waiting for sales. That could be a big

problem for retailers, which are raising prices in order to offset rising fuel, labor and other production costs.

“Early going, July looks like it’s shaping up to be a solid month despite all the economic headwinds,” said Ken Perkins, president of RetailMetrics LLC., a research firm.

“But the concern is whether shoppers will buy back-toschool items at full price.”

The back-to-school season is important for retailers because it accounts for 16.1 percent of annual retailers’ revenue, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. It’s also an opportunity for retailers to gain insight into consumers’ shopping habits heading into the biggest shopping season of the year, which starts on the day after Thanksgiving.

Retailers will get a better sense of how consumers are spending during the back-toschool season in August when the bulk of the purchases is done. But so far, analysts and retail trade groups are sticking to their forecasts for the season, ranging from unchanged to up 3 percent compared with a year ago.

The National Retail Federation expects families to spend $603.63 on back-to-school items, from clothing to supplies, down slightly from last year’s $606.40.
