Brownback accused of caving to pressure on grant

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — In June, Gov. Sam Brownback stood before a standing-room-only crowd at the Johnson County Republican Party’s Elephant Club in Leawood and defended the state’s

acceptance of a $31.5 million federal grant to set up an insurance exchange, which is part of the federal health care reform law.

But on Tuesday, Brownback announced he was rejecting the grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

What happened between then and now?

“As we’ve studied the issue over the course of the past six months, it has become clear that the money would not allow the state sufficient flexibility,” the governor’s office said. “The timeline with regard to legisla-

tive input was the big issue here.”

But Richard Fry, founder of the November Patriots, said on Wednesday that Brownback rejected the grant because he was feeling the heat from opponents of federal health reform.

DAVID CUNNINGHAM HAS LOST 23 POUNDS in the Weight Watchers program that was offered through his employer, the Lawrence school district. “The convenience of having it in the building was a plus,” he said. Because the program was offered where he worked and at a discount, Cunningham said he had no excuse not to participate.

There’s no better way to teach students about wellness than to lead by example.

That’s why the Lawrence school district is offering as many incentives as possible to get its 1,650 employees to eat healthy and exercise.

“Healthy employees, both physically and mentally, have more energy to work with kids and to meet the tremendous challenges that we have today,” Superintendent Rick Doll said. “It’s extremely important that people are healthy and fit because I think that translates into a higher energy level for our kids.”

Shelley Lane, staff wellness coordinator, looks for new opportunities to offer the staff. Most of the wellness classes and programs are

offered at a reduced cost to employees, and the funding is provided through the district’s contract with insurance provider Coventry.

Those that work Lane said there are three initiatives that have worked: ● Cooking classes.

Employees can take classes geared toward healthy cooking at The Merc for $5. From January through May, 148 employees took a cooking class.

“It gives people an opportunity to try something new, like a mango, that maybe they wouldn’t have tried,” Lane said.

For the first time this fall, employees also will have the opportunity to take cooking classes provided by Hy-Vee Food Store. ● Lawrence Parks and Recreation classes.

The fitness classes are half price for employees. Employees can take any of the classes offered through the Lawrence Parks and Recreation department.

There also are classes at schools just for district employees. For example, yoga is a popular class that’s offered at Sunflower School. This year, the district is going to offer a Zumba class at Quail Run School.

Last spring, 18 employees participated in yoga, 17 in cycling and 16 in Zumba — the most popular classes.

The district also offers a 50 percent discount for intramural volleyball and basketball.

“With that they are getting the social component as well as the activity,” Lane said. “It’s good for the mind and body.” ● Weight Watchers classes.

County seconds plan to help fund SRS office

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

Douglas County commissioners Wednesday echoed the City Commission, unanimously approving a memorandum to provide for the continued operation of the Social and Rehabilitation Services office in Lawrence.

The decision was preceded at the meeting by nothing but positive feedback from various members of the local community. No one spoke in opposition of the plan, which sees the city and county split funding that will keep the SRS office open through 2013.

City commissioners approved the plan with a 5-0 vote Tuesday night before sending the deal to the county for final approval. The

funding, $112,500 from each governing body in 2012 and 2013, will cover costs COUNTY cut at the COMMISSION state level.

County commissioner Nancy Thellman said the group didn’t always see eye to eye, but the urgency of the situation brought them together.

“On this, I think we’ve had a meeting of the mind and of the heart,” she said. “I think to choose the needs of the people is the right choice.”

State funding cuts to the SRS would have left thousands of county residents without services and would

have sent the office’s 87 employees elsewhere.

All three commissioners voiced their opposition to the decisions made by state leaders that led to the situation that has consumed so much of their time and efforts the last several weeks.

“This is quite frankly no way to balance a state budget,” Commissioner Mike Gaughan said of the state’s decisions. “But the fact of the matter is we’re charged with the responsibilities.

Right now the important thing to do is keep that office open.”

A common public concern commissioners identified Wednesday was the precedent set by local government picking up the tab on state responsibilities.

Commissioner Jim Flory

said that while using local tax dollars was a downside, the benefits “considerably and significantly” outweighed it.

A provision in the proposal would allow the city and county to nix their payment obligations should the state legislature provide funding for the local office in the future.

“It’s been a hard road to get where we are tonight,” Thellman said. “And there’s a tough road ahead as always, but I’m really grateful in this moment to be on this commission.”

WICHITA — Federal prosecutors on Wednesday sued the highestranking official caught in a ticket scalping scandal at Kansas University and his ex-wife, alleging the property settlement in their divorce defrauded the United States.

The lawsuit filed by the U.S. attorney’s office against Ben Kirtland, the former associate athletic director in charge of development, and his ex-wife, Mary Jean Kirtland, is the latest legal maneuver as the government pursues assets from the conspirators who stole more than $2 Kirtland million in athletics tickets.

The lawsuit alleges Ben Kirtland transferred a house in Lenexa and other property to Mary Jean Kirtland during their divorce, intending to defraud the United States. The lawsuit seeks to void those transfers, which it contends are valued at more than $400,000.

Prosecutors argued in their lawsuit against the Kirtlands that the property settlement agreement in their divorce case was filed in Johnson County District Court only 10 days before Ben Kirtland executed a sentencing agreement in his criminal case.

Mary Jean Kirtland, who now lives in Cary, N.C., did not immediately return a call for comment over the civil case filed against her.

But in a motion also filed Wednesday in the separate criminal case against her ex-husband, her attorney contended Mary Jean Kirtland did not engage in a “fraudulent transfer of property.”

Mary Jean Kirtland wrote in an affidavit filed last month that she was “devastated” when she learned in April 2010 that her husband was resigning from the university and was implicated in a conspiracy. She contended she had no prior knowledge of any wrongdoing by her husband and is “a totally innocent party” in the proceedings.

That affidavit was filed in support of her request in her husband’s criminal case to get the judge to lift a restraining order prohibiting her from selling or transferring any of the disputed real estate property. That request is pending.

In all, seven people were snared in the investigation into the unlawful sale of football and basketball season tickets by key athletics department officials to ticket brokers and others in which the employees pocketed Please see TICKETS, page 2A

County Commission OKs city annexation of property, 2012 budget

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

A 67-acre plot of rural property on the northwestern edge of Lawrence was approved for annexation into the city of Lawrence during Wednesday’s Douglas County Commission meeting.

The decision came after several weeks of public comment that heard arguments both for and against the proposal, which may help property owners market the land to developers, bringing jobs and additional revenue to the city and county.

Commissioners Jim Flory and Mike Gaughan both voiced support of the annexation, saying they didn’t believe the land’s future would be a hindrance to the area’s proper growth and development.

The proposal was approved 2-1, with Commissioner Nancy Thellman alone in opposition.

The parcel of land will still need to be rezoned before it is cleared for industrial use.

Commissioners Wednesday also approved the 2012 county budget, which includes no increase to the mill levy.

Flory said he wanted to include more financial incen-

“They are being successful,” Lane said. She tracks overall attendance and weight loss so they can justify offering the program with the insurance provider.

David Cunningham, director of legal services, human resources and policy, participates in the program. He lost 23 pounds over 15 months and reached his lifetime goal.

He’s maintained his weight for a year.

“I basically decided that it was time. I didn’t need to look like I did, and I needed to be a little healthier,” Cunningham said.

Cunningham said he had no excuse not to participate once the program was offered where he worked and at a discount.

“The convenience of having it in the building was a plus,” he said, adding that he’s often busy with his children’s after-school activities.

He said the weight loss has made him healthier, happier and more productive.

New initiatives The challenge, Lane said, is everyone is busy like Cunningham.

So she’s looking at offering monthly workshops on topics such as stress management, communication skills or exercises that can be done at home.

“Wellness programs are becoming more and more popular, and the idea is that if you are well, you are going to perform better at work. You are going to be a better parent, spouse, friend and teacher. So I’m just trying to spark that interest,” she said.

This fall, there will be new “Lunch and Learn” programs offered in cooperation with

Lawrence nutritionists. They would be programs that could be covered during the lunch period. Topics might include healthy fats or quick soups.

Lane plans to promote two free walking programs like she did last year.

Last fall, 109 employees participated in Walktober, a program that’s offered through Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Douglas County Community Health Improvement Project. Participants get daily wellness tips, and there’s a small prize for participation.

tives for county employees in the form of a funding pool for performance awards. His views were not supported by Gaughan or Thellman, who agreed heritage preservation funding was a better investment for the future of the community.

County employees will receive a 1 percent cost-of-living raise under the approved budget, a move commissioners were glad they were able to make.

“Providing something to our county employees during these difficult times is a good investment,” Gaughan said. “I wish we could do more.”

The budget was approved unanimously, but not without acknowledgment that the years ahead may not be any easier. Flory noted that the commission was able to fund several programs by spending funds set aside for a digital radio transition mandated by the federal government.

“I think we need to take our medicine now and start getting that funded,” Flory said.

The approval Wednesday marked the end of the monthslong process. Commissioners will not meet next week.

Fry then said to Brownback that by accepting the grant the state would have to accept the federal health reform law.

Brownback responded, “My interpretation and other legal counsel that I’ve had did not agree with yours.”

On Wednesday, Fry said, “I’ve driven 1, 500 miles around the state informing the citizens of what is going on, and they are enraged to find out the governor who campaigned against Obamacare is accepting money to implement Obamacare.

There is a groundswell of resentment.”

He said the same thing happened in Oklahoma, which also has rejected an early innovator grant.

Debt deal affects some student loans

1 | LONDON

Riots hit U.K. economy Stores smashed and looted by rampaging mobs, buildings in flames — the damage was to London and other English cities, but the images were beamed around the world.

Four days of riots have already cost businesses and insurers hundreds of millions of dollars. The cost to Britain’s reputation — and its lucrative tourist trade in the runup to the 2012 Olympic Games — may be incalculable.

London’s historic center, visited by millions of tourists a year, has been almost untouched by the riots which hit a handful of inner-city and suburban areas. That hasn’t stopped images of flaming buildings and shattered shops under headlines like “London’s burning” flashing around the globe.

“The impression people are getting in other countries is that a lawless state existed in London for a few days,” said Tom Rees, senior travel and tourism analyst at market research firm Mintel. “The impression could be fostered that it’s just not safe, and that’s a tremendous problem for tourism.”

Though a recent federal debt budget compromise protected Pell Grants for low-income undergraduate students, graduate and professional students who receive federally subsidized Stafford loans took a hit.

The federal budget deal removed government subsidies

for interest payments on those loans, said Justin Draeger, president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators.

Under the old system, interest would not accrue on those loans while the students were in school, or during any periods of loan deferment, he said. Those loans can still be deferred in several qualifying situations, like if

a student returns to school or enters the armed forces.

Ora McWilliams, a Kansas University doctoral student in American studies, received a subsidized Stafford loan for his graduate studies. He said the interest subsidies certainly helped out, especially considering he had about $100,000 in student loans combined from his undergraduate, master’s and

Jury chooses execution for serial killer Jurors who convicted a man of killing 11 women and leaving the remains in his home and yard said the words of the women who escaped his house of horrors helped persuade them to recommend the death penalty.

Anthony Sowell, 51, was convicted last month of aggravated murder and dozens of other counts in the 11 deaths and three other sexual assaults. The same jury deliberated for less than a day before deciding Wednesday to recommend execution by lethal injection over life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The final decision will be up to Judge Dick Ambrose, who will impose the sentence Friday. He is permitted to reduce a death penalty sentence to life without parole, but such changes are rare in Ohio.

Researchers to study mammoth bones HUTCHINSON (AP) — Researchers say that by examining mammoth bones that were recently found in west-central Kansas, they hope to determine how the animal died and learn more about the earliest humans in the region.

The bones were discovered during construction on a Scott County farm. Researchers say they could date back to the earliest New World civilization, The Hutchinson News reported Wednesday.

It’s the latest of several discoveries that have included the fossils of giant mammoths, the extinct, prehistoric cousin to the elephant that once roamed the region.

Researchers at Kansas University say there is evidence that the mammoth may have been killed by the region’s earliest inhabitants. The conjecture is preliminary, but KU Professor Rolfe Mandel said the find will lead to further study of the bones to see how and when the mammoth died.

“If you remember back to your high school days, the Clovis people followed the mammoth (into North America),” Mandel said of the hunter-gatherers who lived here roughly 12,000 to 13,000 years ago. He said he and his colleagues are trying to find the earliest evidence of humans.

Archaeologists only have exposed Clovis-era remains at one other Kansas site, near Kanorado in Sherman County.

‘Amazing’ therapy wipes out leukemia Scientists are reporting the first clear success with a new approach for treating leukemia — turning the patients’ own blood cells into assassins that hunt and destroy their cancer cells.

They’ve only done it in three patients so far, but the results were striking: Two appear cancer-free up to a year after treatment, and the third patient is improved but still has some cancer. Scientists are already preparing to try the same gene therapy technique for other kinds of cancer.

“It worked great. We were surprised it worked as well as it did,” said Dr. Carl June, a gene therapy expert at the University of Pennsylvania. “We’re just a year out now. We need to find out how long these remissions last.”

Obama to vacation in Martha’s Vineyard President Barack Obama will vacation with his family in Martha’s Vineyard at the end of this month as he’s done in years past, the White House said Wednesday, despite the weak economy and negotiations on the nation’s debt problem.

Press secretary Jay Carney defended Obama’s plans to take a break .

“I don’t think Americans out there would begrudge that notion that the president would spend some time with his family,” Carney said.

Carney added that there’s really no such thing as a presidential vacation since Obama will travel with his aides, receive regular briefings on national security and the economy and be able to return to Washington if necessary.

If he had to pay the interest that would have piled up while he was in school, he’d be looking at thousands more in debt.

Scholarship to help science students transfer to KU

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Last summer, Haskell Indian Nations University student Michael Dunaway helped Kansas University distinguished physics and astronomy professor Judy Wu make an important discovery in her lab.

“When he worked in my lab, he introduced me to 13 or 14 of his

colleagues, Haskell students he brought into my lab,” Wu said.

“And, upon working with Michael (I realized) a lot of students can’t attend KU because they don’t have enough financial support.”

She also knew that the case was true for many students at Johnson County

Community College and that there were students at KU struggling financially to stay in school. She took that lesson and coupled it with a KU report that pointed to low retention rates.

“It prompted me to look into opportunities to help students,” Wu said.

Prosecutors are expected to present evidence alleging Blackmon took items from that burglary to a pawn shop.

Kemple also said co-defendant Meglin Rego, who has pleaded guilty to burglary and conspiracy, would testify and allege she drove Blackmon to the Heatherwood Drive residence to commit a burglary.

Blackmon’s defense attorney Michael Clarke during his opening statement told jurors that police had an “evolving investigation” and that Rego was getting a benefit in her sentence if she testified as part of a plea deal.

“Ultimately, it’s going to come down to Ms. Rego’s credibility,” Clarke said, “which is obviously suspect.”

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced Wednesday that four Lawrence organizations have been awarded $172,670 for victims’ services programs.

“Organizations throughout Kansas provide essential services to crime victims,” Schmidt said. “These funds will enable these key partners to continue serving victims in their communities.”

The grants will fund these projects: ● $8,500 to allow Douglas County Court-Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA, to recruit, train and supervise volunteers to advocate on behalf of children who are in the court system because of abuse or neglect.

“This will allow us to concentrate even more on the role of our volunteers being in the education realm,” said Diana Frederick, CASA’s executive director. ● $65,570 to The Willow Domestic Violence Center for advocacy for survivors of domestic violence in the court system and promote awareness of the organization’s services.

“It’s important to maintain these services in our community because domestic violence can be a hidden problem, and these social services the Willow provides at least attempt to end survivors’ suf-

fering,” said Joan Schultz, the center’s interim director. ● $50,000 to GaDuGi SafeCenter Inc. for community education and awareness of domestic violence and sexual assault and to develop community impact initiatives to reduce crime in these areas.

The center also will receive $7,500 to provide three artbased support groups for women and children affected by sexual violence.

“We are appreciative of the increase in protection from abuse funding from the office of the attorney general, and we look forward to enhancing our services to Douglas County,” said Sarah Jane Russell, the center’s executive director. ● $41,000 to TFI Family Services Inc. for a child exchange and visitation center to provide a safe environment for supervised visitations and child exchanges.

Money for the projects comes from the State Protection from Abuse Fund, Crime Victims’ Assistance Fund and Child Exchange and Visitors Center Fund, funded by court fees and costs. The Victims’ Services Grants Program this year awarded nearly $2.2 million in grants to local and state victim assistance organizations, according to Schmidt’s office.

At 85 years, the Leavenworth County Fair is going strong.

The fair kicked off this week in Tonganoxie, and plenty of activities are planned through Saturday.

The fair, which actually got its start as a way to promote a bumper corn crop in 1926, has evolved into the showing of hundreds more categories in fruits, vegetables, animals, clothing and photography.

After that first year, the event became a corn and apple show, and though the first two events weren’t named the Leavenworth County Fair, it was the organizers’ intent for them to be county fairs. There was a state law in 1927 providing for premium funding from the county, but the Legislature voted down Tonganoxie’s pro-

posal because lawmakers deemed the city too small to support a county fair.

But the event continued to grow and eventually became known as the Leavenworth County Fair. It moved from downtown to the grounds of the high school in the early 1930s. In 1938, the fair moved to its current site along Kansas Highway 16.

Here are some highlights of this year’s fair:

MIKE BRYAN, LEFT, SELECTS SOME OF THE CANTALOUPES AND VEGETABLES that Free State High School senior Katie Hall was handing out from the back of her SUV Wednesday at the corner of 10th and Kentucky streets.

Draeger said. While his organization was disappointed that costs for graduate students would be going up, he said that he was pleased to see the support for Pell Grants.

“That’s no small thing,” he said, as the Pell program is the “bedrock” of financial aid programs. “To see bipartisan support in the deficit reduction budget is a huge win for students.”

McWilliams, as a probable future educator, said he was pleased to see that the cuts would result in additional support for undergraduate students. Still, the cuts will be felt, he said.

“I wonder if something else could have changed a little

bit,” he said.

The changes will go into effect for new graduate loans made after July 1, 2012.

The budget compromise bill also made one other change, Draeger said. Some incentives for repaying loans on time were dropped for both undergraduate and graduate students, he said.

At KU, about 35 percent of graduate and professional students receive need-based loans each year, said Jill Jess, a KU spokeswoman, with an average loan amount of $7,700.

That figure is higher, however, at KU Medical Center, where about 53 percent of KUMC graduate and professional students take out needbased loans every year.

Cutbacks force retreat in war on meth

By Jim Salter Associated Press Writer

S T . L O U I S — Police and sheriff ’s departments in states that produce much of the nation’s methamphetamine have made a sudden retreat in the war on meth, at times virtually abandoning pursuit of the drug because they can no longer afford to clean up the toxic waste generated by labs.

Despite abundant evidence that the meth trade is flourishing, many law enforcement agencies have called off tactics that have been used for years to confront drug makers: sending agents undercover, conducting door-to-door investigations and setting up stakeouts at pharmacies to catch people buying large amounts of cold medicine.

The steep cutbacks began after the federal government in February canceled a program that provided millions of dollars to help local agencies dispose of seized labs.

Since then, an Associated Press analysis shows, the number of labs seized has plummeted by a third in some key meth-producing states and two-thirds in at least one, Alabama.

The trend is almost certain

to continue unless more states find a way to replace the federal money or to conduct cheaper cleanups.

In Michigan, authorities still bust meth labs when they find them, but tougher missions like secretly sending officers into the meth underworld have been scrapped.

“They’re not actively out there looking for it,” said Tony Saucedo, meth enforcement director for Michigan State Police. “And the big issue is money. We have taken 10 steps backward.”

Authorities say they have no doubt that meth trafficking remains brisk. Record busts are being reported in some states that fund their own cleanups.

But in places that rely on federal money, law enforcement agencies feel paralyzed.

At least one sheriff became so frustrated that he considered burning meth waste illegally in a landfill rather than leaving it in neighborhoods where curious children could find it.

In Warren County, Tenn., about 70 miles southeast of Nashville, deputies had “always been very aggressive on meth,” Sheriff Jackie Matheny said. By midsummer a year ago, they had busted some 70 meth labs. This year,

that number tumbled to 24.

“When you have to kind of kick it into neutral, it makes you sick to your stomach because we know it’s out there,” Matheny said.

Making matters worse, sheriffs say, was the suddenness of the loss, which didn’t give cash-strapped local governments any time to come up with another way to pay for cleanups that typically cost $2,500 to $5,000 per lab.

“We didn’t have an opportunity to prepare,” Matheny said. “We just got a phone call saying, ‘You’re not going to have funds anymore.’ It just absolutely crippled us.”’

The AP analysis involved building a database of lab seizures in the nation’s top 10 meth-producing states based on 2010 figures. Combined with numbers from the first half of 2011, the statistics showed that seizures had dropped sharply in states that depended on federal money.

Yet busts were skyrocketing in states that pay for their own cleanups.

The AP also conducted 50 to 60 interviews to confirm the trend, speaking with police officers, sheriffs and meth-lab specialists in many of the top 10 states.

Lab seizures were down 32 percent through May 31 in Ten-

Bones

nessee, which led the nation in seizures in 2010. The numbers were similar or worse in other leading meth states: down 33 percent in Arkansas, 35 percent in Michigan and 62 percent in Alabama.

All of those states relied heavily on funding from the federal Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS program. It offered local agencies $19.2 million in 2010.

That money was not renewed and is unlikely to come back.

“Do you really think our labs fell that much?” asked Tommy Farmer, state meth task force coordinator for Tennessee. “Hell no.”

Archaeological Research Fund, an endowed program trying to find the earliest evidence of humans on the Great Plains. He and a small group of archaeologists and students visited the Scott County site last week.

After the bones were found on their farm during construction, Mike and Debbie Scheuerman alerted the Natural Resources Conservation Service, said Jack Ray, a research archaeologist with Missouri State University who is also working with the Odyssey program.

The group helped unearth six rib bones, a lower leg bone and a scapula, or shoulder blade, Ray said. The bones will undergo carbon dating at the university before they are sent to a museum in Denver.

About 50 yards away, the crew also found artifacts of flakes where these early Americans may have sharpened knives or made spear points, Ray said.

A RESEARCHER POINTS OUT A POSSIBLE CUT MARK on a prehistoric mammoth being excavated on a farm Aug. 3 near Scott City. Researchers at Kansas University say there is evidence that the mammoth may have been killed by the region’s earliest inhabitants.

Continued research may shed light on whether the bones and the artifacts are connected and whether humans killed the animal, Ray said.

There are some signs that could lead toward the latter, including that the artifacts were found nearby and that the two sites were buried at the same depth. The bones were also found in the

uplands instead of the lowlands near a creek or water body, a typical place a mammoth might die, Ray said.

“That kind of suggests there were humans nearby and that they might have been camped nearby,” Ray said. “That is just a possibility.”

He said researchers plan to return next year to gather more information.

seminars, demonstration projects, field trips and outreach activities.

The hope is that after graduation, students will pursue careers or continue research in the renewable energy field.

Students might also have the chance to be paid for additional research opportunities through the program.

Wu’s own research focuses on nanotechnology in solar energy development, but other renewable energy programs at KU examine the possibility of biofuels, battery storage and electric

vehicles. In Wu’s introduction to nanotechnology course, students express an increasing interest in renewable energy.

“In 2010, more than half the class told us they were there for their interest in renewable energy,” Wu said.

Those interested in applying for the scholarship can find more information at solarenergy.ku.edu/sstem.

The deadline for applications is Aug. 31.

VFW to get new flags after others stolen Members of the Lawrence Veterans of Foreign Wars post are working to get new flags to fly in front of the post hall, 138 Ala., after someone stole an American flag and POW/MIA flag last week.

“We were surprised to see that it was missing, and we’re taking all the necessary steps to get both flags back up as soon as possible, especially prior to our POW/MIA ceremony Sept. 16,” said Fred Shockey, commander of the Alford-Clarke VFW Post No. 852.

According to a Lawrence police report, someone stole the two flags, metal clips from the pole and cut part of the flagpole rope between 8:30 p.m. last Thursday and 3 p.m.

Friday.

Police estimate the damage at $80. Shockey said the flag thefts were disheartening, but members believe it was likely a prank. The post was working to replace the flags and rope as soon as possible, although he said it would be an unplanned expense for the post.

Eudora school building razed EUDORA — A piece of Eudora history was torn down this week.

The old Eudora Middle School, at 10th and Main streets, which was constructed in the 1940s, was bulldozed.

Once all materials are removed from the site, the land will be split among the city of Eudora, the school district and the township library.

The city hopes to use its portion to construct a public safety building that would house police, fire and ambulance services. The township is in the early stages of planning for a new library, while the school district doesn’t have any firm plans for its share of the land.

EDDIE RAY ROBERTS, SUPERINTENDENT of the city’s waste and water department, walks on the dried bed of Lake E.V. Spence on Aug. 7 in Robert Lee, Texas. After years of diminishing water supplies made even worse by the second most severe drought in state history, some communities are resorting to a plan that might have seemed absurd a generation ago: turning sewage into drinking water.

Texas plant will turn sewage into safe drinking water

By Angela K. Brown Associated Press Writer

F O R T W O R T H , T E X A S — In parched West Texas, it’s often easier to drill for oil than to find new sources of water.

So after years of diminishing water supplies made even worse by the second-most severe drought in state history, some communities are resorting to a plan that might have seemed absurd a generation ago: turning sewage into drinking water.

Construction recently began on a $13 million waterreclamation plant believed to be the first of its kind in Texas.

And officials have worked to dispel any fears that people will be drinking their neighbors’ urine, promising the system will yield clean, safe water. Some residents are prepared to put aside any squeamishness if it means having an abundant water supply.

“Any water is good water, as far as I’m concerned,” said Gary Fuqua, city manager in Big Spring, which will join the cities of Midland, Odessa and Stanton in using the water.

When the water finally reaches the tap, Fuqua said, its origin is “something I wouldn’t think about at all.”

Similar plants have been operating for years in Tucson, Ariz., parts of California and in other countries. Water experts predict other American cities will follow suit as they confront growing populations, drought and other issues.

“It’s happening all over the

world,” said Wade Miller, executive director of the WateReuse Association based outside Washington. “In some places … resources are down to very low levels, and this is one of the few resources available.”

The Colorado River Municipal Water District in West Texas began considering a wastewater recycling plant back in 2000 and broke ground last month on the facility in Big Spring, about 100 miles southeast of Lubbock. When finished late next year, it should supply 2 million gallons of water a day.

The timing couldn’t be better. This year’s drought has made a bone-dry region even drier, causing crops to wither and animals and fish to die off by the thousands.

At least one of the three reservoirs in West Texas may dry up if the drought persists through next year, as climatologists have predicted could happen. That means the district’s water supply could be reduced from 65 million gallons a day to 45 million, said John Grant, the water district’s general manager.

“We have limited water supplies in Texas, and you have to turn to other sources of water,” Grant said.

The new system could actually improve the taste of the region’s water by removing the minerals and salt that give it a distinctive briny flavor, he added.

The idea to recycle sewage isn’t new. Fort Worth and other cities across the nation

have long used treated wastewater to water grass and trees and irrigate crops. But the new treatment plant in West Texas will be the first in the state to provide drinking water.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have been drinking recycled urine and sweat since 2009 — and consistently given the water good reviews.

For years, NASA had been working on equipment that would enable astronauts to recycle their wastewater for drinking, cooking and bathing. The system was launched to the space station in late 2008, and it took several months to conduct enough tests — in orbit and on the ground — to ensure the water was safe to consume.

Since the space shuttle fleet was retired last month, the space station’s recycling system is needed more than ever.

Shuttles can’t deliver fresh water, and the agency says astronauts will need such recycling systems on future missions to an asteroid and Mars.

But some earth-bound people still need a little convincing.

“It just doesn’t sound very right, does it?” asked Liz Faught of Odessa. “I don’t want to drink it.”

Still, she had confidence that any public health concerns would be addressed long before the water arrives in the cities.

“I feel they would not do this and it be an unsafe practice,” she said.

Presidential candidate Bachmann points to foster parenting — on her terms

County energy efficiency programs produce savings

From turning down thermostats to fixing leaky heating ducts, Douglas County has taken a slew of steps to reduce their energy consumption over the past several years.

On Wednesday, the Douglas County Commissioners got a look at how those efforts were paying off. Here’s the data that sustainability coordinator Eileen Horn and maintenance director Bill Bell provided:

STILLWATER , M INN . — From her first campaign to her latest, Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann has used her time as a foster parent to help create an image of a family-focused Christian driven by compassion and social conviction.

Now, with the national spotlight shining bright, the Minnesota congresswoman is claiming her family is off limits.

In this instance, Bachmann is trying to have it both ways and may end up undercutting an authentic streak that’s helped her rise in polling to challenge the front-runner for the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney.

“I am running for the presidency of the United States,” Bachmann said recently when asked to comment on reports of controversial treatments offered at her husband’s counseling clinic and about the family’s federally subsidized home loan. “My husband is not running for the presidency. Neither are my children.

Neither is our business. Neither is our foster children.”

Yet, when it suits her, Bachmann mentions that she and her husband have been “the proud foster parents of 23 great children.” And she portrays her entry into foster parenting as an act of faith, saying that she and husband Marcus, a trained therapist, were following the lead of fellow parishioners at her church.

“Our hearts were broken

KABUL , A FGHANISTAN — An airstrike by international forces has killed the Taliban insurgents responsible for the downing of a U.S. helicopter this weekend in which 38 U.S. and Afghan troops died, including the militant who launched the fatal rocket-propelled grenade, the military claimed Wednesday.

The claim of success comes amid fears that as U.S. troops begin to leave Afghanistan, the country is far from stable and remains deadly for those forces who remain. As U.S. troops thin out, special operations forces like those that died in Saturday’s helicopter crash are likely to make up a greater part of the American force in Afghanistan.

F-16 fighter jets killed the insurgents responsible on Monday, according to the top American commander in Afghanistan, Marine Corps Gen. John Allen.

The military provided few details to back up the claim, but Allen said he was confident the airstrike killed fewer than 10 insurgents involved in the attack on the U.S. Chinook helicopter.

“All of these operations generate intelligence,” Allen said, including about those who fled the site of the crash.

“We tracked them as we would in the aftermath of any operation, and we dealt with them with a kinetic strike,

for at-risk kids,” she said last month in an unpublicized appearance at Jonathan House, a communal center in Washington for young Christian men.

In a brief interview last spring, Bachmann told The Associated Press that her house had as many as nine children at once, her own five plus four more. She gave a similar account at Jonathan House, according to video someone in attendance posted on the Internet.

“We brought our first child in and we got a phone call.

‘Would we take another?’ And we did. Got a phone call, ‘Would you take another?’ And we did. Got another phone call. ‘Would you take another?’

And we did,” Bachmann said.

“Then we said, ‘Hold on just a minute,”’ she added.

“We had another biological baby, and by that point we had a census of nine kids in the house. And at that point we couldn’t all sit around a table, so we had to blow out a wall and make our kitchen bigger.”

Bachmann talks about foster parenting in mostly

abstract terms and never mentions the children by name.

The government considers their identities protected. One located by the AP wouldn’t comment, and none has come forward to tell his or her story for attribution. Former neighbors confess having only vague recollections, if any at all, of the foster children.

The little that is known about this part of her life was pieced together from interviews and spotty public records.

The Bachmanns were first licensed as child foster care providers in 1992, when they were living in the scenic town of Stillwater, east of St. Paul, on the St. Croix River.

George Hendrickson, who managed Bachmann cases for several years through the Professional Association of Treatment Homes placement agency, remembers visiting a well-kept home big enough so that the foster children and the Bachmann kids didn’t have to share bedrooms. He said he found Bachmann to be relaxed, organized and engaging.

and in the aftermath of that we have achieved certainty that they, in fact, were killed in that strike,” Allen said. He spoke by video from his Kabul headquarters.

In a separate statement, the military said the strike killed a Taliban leader and the insurgent who fired the rocket-propelled grenade at the helicopter. That statement also cited intelligence gathered on the ground. It did not provide further details.

“This does not ease our loss, but we must and we will continue to relentlessly pursue the enemy,” Allen said.

The crash was the deadliest single loss for U.S. forces in the nearly 10-year Afghan war.

The military is still seeking the top insurgent leader that troops were going after in Saturday’s mission, Allen said.

Allen defended the decision to send in the Chinook loaded with special operations forces to aid Army Rangers pursuing insurgents in a dangerous region of eastern Afghanistan.

“The fact that we lost this aircraft is not … a decision point as to whether we’ll use this aircraft in the future,” Allen said. “It’s not uncommon at all to use this aircraft on our special missions.”

According to officials, the team included 17 SEALs, five Navy special operations troops who support the SEALs, three Air Force airmen, a five-member Army air crew and a military dog, along with seven Afghan commandos and an Afghan interpreter.

Stocks resume sell-off; Dow finishes down 519 Latest picks for

debt panel spark some pessimism

By Stan Choe Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Back to reality and back down, Wall Street focused on the bleak landscape ahead for the economy Wednesday and wiped out its big gains from a day earlier — and then some.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 519 points and has now lost more than 2,000 in less than three weeks. Swings of several hundred points in just minutes, accelerated by computerized trading, have become commonplace.

This time, the selling was intensified by worries about Europe.

American bank stocks took hits because investors fretted that debt problems overseas might reach the United States.

France came under pressure amid concerns that it could follow the U.S. and become the next country to lose its top AAA rating.

The French president cut his vacation short and promised to slash the nation’s debts.

The stocks of leading banks in Britain, Italy and Germany were hammered.

The fear is that if European governments default on their bonds, it will hurt the European banks that own them.

That could start a chain reaction that hurts the United States because large U.S. banks have loans to European banks. The result on Wall Street, which already has economic problems to worry about, was a dramatic turnaround.

On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve said it planned to keep interest rates ultra-low for two more years. After some initial confusion, the stock market staged a huge comeback and had one of its best days.

But the interest-rate news

SPECIALIST STEPHEN STEINTHAL WORKS at his post on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 519 points Wednesday and has now lost more than 2,000 in less than three weeks. proved to be a distraction.

The Fed made the pledge because it sees almost no chance that the economy will improve substantially by 2013, and when investors focused on that, they dumped stocks again.

“Now it gets back to the fundamentals,” said Mark Lamkin, founder of Lamkin Wealth Management, which manages $215 million.

The Dow closed at 10,719.94, down 4.6 percent for the day. By points, it was the ninth-steepest decline for the market.

Wednesday was another day marked by big moves.

The Dow was down more than 300 points within minutes of the opening bell. It recovered some of that loss, then drifted steadily lower in the last two hours.

The market has traded that

way for two weeks, lurching up and down.

The most extreme example was Tuesday, when the Dow swung more than 600 points in the one hour and 45 minutes after the Fed’s statement.

The stomach-churning highs and lows are reminiscent of the fall of 2008, the depths of the financial crisis, when there were swings of 800 or even 1,000 points in a day.

Computerized trading systems — programmed to analyze charts, capitalize on the tiniest changes in price and execute trades with no human intervention — are making the market rougher.

High-frequency trading programs make up about half of the trading volume in a normal market day but 70 percent or more on a

volatile one. The programs pounce on stock changes to make just slivers of a penny but do it so often that it adds up.

Other investors also use charts and market indicators to make trades based on market momentum. The bet is that if the market is rising, it will keep rising, and if it’s falling, it will keep falling.

More investors are turning to this strategy because the sudden slowdown in the economy has left them unable to judge companies based on their fundamentals, like projected profits.

The more people use a momentum strategy, the faster the indexes rise or fall.

The S&P 500 finished the day down 4.4 percent and the Nasdaq composite index down 4.1 percent.

Fed’s continued low rates are no fix for economy, retirees

By Paul Wiseman Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve’s plan to keep interest rates super-low for at least two more years is great news for mortgage ref inancers and other borrowers.

For retirees and others who need interest income, it’s a threat.

Nor will low rates likely revive a depressed home market, energize a weak economy or reassure frightened consumers.

They’re also putting pressure on Americans’ pensions.

The consulting firm Milliman Inc. said this week that 100 of the nation’s largest pension funds were $254 billion short of what they need to meet obligations to retirees July 31, up from a $186 billion shortfall at the end of June. Low interest rates were the main reason for the widening gap.

The sinking rates flow from the Fed’s federal funds rate, which the Fed has kept near zero since the depths of the financial crisis in December 2008. The funds rate is the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans. It indirectly affects rates for credit cards and some business loans.

Longer-term yields are determined by traders. These yields are also near record lows, driven down by investors seeking the safety of U.S. Treasurys.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which influ-

DILBERT

ences long-term mortgage rates, set a record low of 2.03 percent after the Fed’s announcement Tuesday. Earlier in the day, the yield had been 2.34 percent. As recently as Friday, it was 2.56 percent.

The average rate on a 30year fixed loan fell last week to a yearly low of 4.39 percent and likely dropped further this week after the Fed’s announcement.

Mortgage brokers say refinancers are rushing to lock in those rates. In Greenwich, Conn., Tuck Bradford of Mortgage Master says his office is so swamped he’s extending the lock-in period that guarantees rates from 45 to 90 days so there’s time to process the volume.

Applications to refinance jumped nearly 22 percent last week from the week before, the Mortgage Bankers Association said. Refinancing made up more than 75 percent of mortgage applications, it said.

But tantalizing mortgage rates aren’t luring many buyers into a broken housing market. Even as refinancing soars, home purchase applications have barely budged.

Potential buyers have plenty of reason to stay on the sidelines. Many can’t buy because the home they live in is worth less than the mortgage they owe on it. Or they can’t sell their house.

In Cincinnati, Jeff and Jo Ann Hawkins slashed the price on their home by $100,000 in the course of a

year. They got zero offers.

Same for Danielle DeGrazia in Bethel, Conn.

Low rates are also squeezing retirees who typically keep most of their savings in safe but low-yielding certificates of deposit money market accounts.

Typically, investors would be advised at age 65 to keep at least 60 percent of their money in such safe investments. Investing in stocks could expose them to losses, if they had to withdraw their money before the market had time to recover. Older investors are commonly advised to have 70 percent or more in fixed-income investments.

Top-yielding one-year CDs are paying an average of just 1.2 percent. Five-year certificates are topping out at 2.4 percent. Inflation is running at an annual rate of about 3.6 percent, so these instruments won’t even keep up with the cost of living.

The meager returns are forcing some retirees to take on more risk. Carol Clemens, 65, of Edmond, Okla., has given up super-safe fixedincome investments. She’s putting more of her retirement savings in stocks of companies that pay dividends yielding at least 4 percent.

“That security is difficult for people to give up, but when you have no choices you have to take calculated risks,” she says. “That’s what it’s forcing a lot of retired people to do.”

WASHINGTON — Republicans named a mix of partisans and pragmatists on Wednesday to the new congressional committee charged with striking a debt-cutting compromise.

While members of both parties expressed urgency over controlling surging budget shortfalls, others were pessimistic that the bipartisan panel would overcome deep political divides.

With nine of the committee’s 12 members selected, Washington began calculating whether the faltering economy and chaotic financial markets could spur the panel to produce a bipartisan plan trimming $1.5 trillion from the government’s debt over the coming decade. Failure — a real possibility, considering GOP opposition to tax increases and Democratic hostility to cuts in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits — would trigger automatic spending cuts in hundreds of defense and domestic programs.

“You wouldn’t want to be in there while the ‘Dirty Dozen’ are up to their work, because, boy, I tell you, the hair and eyeballs will fly all over the floor,” said former Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., who cochaired a bipartisan deficit commission that recommended trillions in savings last year.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, named conservative Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, a rising force among House Republicans, as GOP co-chairman of the powerful new panel. Boehner also appointed House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp and House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, a pair of veteran Michigan Republicans, to the committee.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., named confidante and No. 2 Senate GOP leader Jon Kyl of Arizona, tabbing a lawmaker who is retiring in 2013 and is a solid conservative. He also appointed GOP Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, elected last year with tea party backing, and fellow freshman Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, a former budget director and trade representative for President George W. Bush who is viewed as a possible vice presidential pick next year.

On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., chose Sen. Patty Mur-

ray, D-Wash., who runs the Senate Democratic campaign arm, as Democratic co-chair of the debt committee. He also appointed 2004 Democratic presidential nominee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., a centrist who strayed to back Bush’s 2001 tax cuts, to the new panel.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has yet to name her three members but is required to do so by next week.

Boehner said his appointees are trusted leaders “who understand the gravity of our debt crisis.” He acknowledged the two sides’ differences but said the committee provided an opportunity to “come together to do what’s best for our country.”

At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama expects members of the committee to “act seriously.” He reiterated Obama’s call for “a balanced approach,” which means a mix of spending cuts and revenue tax increases.

Elsewhere around the capital, critics raised questions about whether the panel would succeed.

They noted that none of the Senate’s so-called Gang of Six, a bipartisan group of senators who proposed trillions in spending cuts and tax boosts this year, was named to the panel. And while Baucus, Camp and Hensarling were members of the bipartisan deficit commission that Simpson headed with Democrat Erskine Bowles, critics pointed out that all three had opposed that group’s final recommendations.

“I’m a little discouraged today,” said G. William Hoagland, a former top GOP Senate aide who now lobbies for Cigna Corp. “As of today, I don’t see a path forward to get a majority vote from those members appointed so far.”

With the panel split evenly between the two parties, seven of the 12 members will have to approve a debt-cutting plan before it can be sent to Congress for votes. That means at least one lawmaker would have to agree to a plan backed by the opposite party.

The committee has until Thanksgiving to complete its work and Congress until Christmas to vote on it, with a presidential and congressional election year looming when the calendar flips to 2012.

What’s next?

Top state officials are making a lot of decisions that aren’t in the best interests of Kansas.

G

ov. Sam Brownback and his administration are on a roll when it comes to illconceived, autocratic decisions that have a negative impact on the state.

It was hard to top the decision to close the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services offices in Lawrence and eight other communities or the Kansas Department of Health and Environment decision not even to apply for some of the $900 million the federal government is making available over the next five years for efforts to battle chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

Those decisions were certainly noteworthy, but the decision announced Tuesday to reject a $31.5 million grant to let Kansas control its own destiny on a key component of national health care takes the cake.

Although he had signed on to accept the grant earlier this year, Brownback now has decided that the money comes with too many “strings attached” and that all states “should be preparing for fewer federal resources, not more.” Should Kansas also apply that principle to federal highway funds? Maybe we should change our minds about accepting federal funds for the National Bio- and Agro Defense Facility planned in Manhattan. Too many “strings attached.”

The $31.5 million grant rejected on Tuesday would have allowed Kansas to be a leader in developing online resources to provide information that will allow consumers to make educated decisions about their health insurance coverage. Kansas was one of only seven states to receive such a grant, which was a strong endorsement of Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger’s experience and expertise in her field.

Kansas could have used that grant money to develop a system that would meet the state’s needs and set a model for other states to follow. Instead, Kansas now likely will be forced to use a system developed by some other state or the federal government.

“It’s a missed opportunity,” said Praeger, who reportedly wasn’t consulted before the governor made his decision, “but I understand the politics.”

Yes, it’s all about “the politics.” It’s not about saving money. Some other state will get the $31.5 million we sent back. It’s not about “the strings.” Praeger said that wasn’t a problem on this grant and it certainly doesn’t keep Kansas from accepting other types of federal grants.

It’s about the politics. Refusing the federal money is another way to create fear and doubt about the national health care program that Brownback opposes.

It’s no coincidence that Brownback’s decision was announced only a week after a number of Kansas legislators attended a meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council in New Orleans. In fact, rejecting federal grants was a specific strategy outlined in ALEC’s “State Legislators Guide to Repealing ObamaCare.”

ALEC pushes a conservative agenda and was described in a report by the Center of Media and Democracy as a public policy front for corporate interests, including the Kansasbased Koch Industries, which helps fund ALEC and donates heavily to many conservative political causes and candidates. ALEC foots much of the bill for state legislators to attend its meetings, where they get strategy advice such as rejecting federal grants. The group is using state legislators to push a national agenda that may or may not benefit their individual states or the citizenry.

The top priority of Brownback or any governor should be to do what is best for Kansas and its people. It’s too bad that many recent actions taken by Brownback and his administration appear to be based on loyalty to political entities or agendas that have nothing to do with the best interests of the state.

British also in dire economic straits WASHINGTON — The chancellor of the exchequer has a dry, sly sense of humor. George Osborne, 40, says Britain escaped the sort of housing bubble and crash that staggered America because, whereas America recklessly expanded its housing stock, “We were saved by the fact that you can’t build anything in this country.”

He exaggerates, somewhat, Britain’s regulatory impediments to dynamism, just as he exaggerated, somewhat, his prediction, when he became chancellor 15 months ago, that in six months he would be Britain’s most unpopular man. His and Prime Minister David Cameron’s wager is one that should interest Americans — the bet that Britain can simultaneously shrink the state and stimulate the economy.

Since growth resumed here in 2010, it has been a tepid 2.2 percent. In 2011’s second quarter, it was 0.2 percent, worse than America’s dismal 0.8 percent in the first half of this year. Some say the royal wedding distracted British workers. Really. (Recent riots have incited dubious sociology, the theory that social-service reductions propel desperate mobs of young men to storm Nike shoe stores. But perhaps not everything is caused by politics.)

The shrinkage of government is supposed to be more severe here than in America, where the supposedly “savage,” “draconian,” etc., cuts recently agreed to mean that for a decade Washington must scrape by on $43.7 trillion rather than $46.1 trillion. Really.

The British state is morbidly

George Will

The British state is “morbidly obese. For a

third consecutive year, government will spend more than half the gross domestic product …”

obese. For a third consecutive year, government will spend more than half the gross domestic product — partly because half of all jobs created during the 13 years of Labour Party governance that ended in May 2010 were in the public sector.

Britain’s debt, now 62 percent of GDP, is scheduled to rise to 71 percent in 2013-14 before declining. Government devours 47 percent of national income.

The five-year goal of reducing it to 40 percent will be difficult because Cameron has a tepid mandate. In 2010, Conservatives almost suffered a fourth consecutive defeat, and failed to win a majority against an exhausted and unpopular Labour government.

This may be one reason Cameron has flinched from seri-

ously reforming the established religion. No, not the Church of England, the National Health Service. It is sometimes adequate regarding medicine but is a sensational jobs program: It is the world’s sixth-largest employer (behind the Chinese army, WalMart, China National Petroleum, China State Grid Corporation and Indian Railways).

Osborne says America’s welfare reform of 1996 “helped change the debate over here.”

Perhaps, but almost 30 percent of public spending here is still for a welfare system under which an unemployed single mother with two children has more disposable income than a postal worker. There is, Osborne says, considerable resentment among people who “go to work at seven in the morning and the blinds are down next door.” Almost a fifth of British households have no wage earner, while immigrants are 13 percent of the work force.

Fortunately, in Britain, as in much of the U.S., labor unions are fading forces. British unions have only 7 million members, down from 13 million 30 years ago.

When, in June, leaders of a large public employees union engineered a one-day strike, the members were not enthusiastic and the public was not inconvenienced.

Almost half the Conservative members of Parliament were first elected in 2010 and, like Republican members of the U.S. House first elected that year, these Conservatives have a tea party-like indifference to con-

ventional pieties, the worst of which celebrate the European Union. Such has been the leakage of Britain’s sovereignty to Brussels, Cameron’s ability to deregulate his nation’s economy is significantly circumscribed. Only 22 percent of the British consider EU membership a “good thing,” now that the EU is busy transferring wealth to those who do not create it.

With a wary eye on Greece, and a possible contagion from it to Italy, Spain, Portugal and others, Osborne fears a “sovereign debt rerun” of the financial crisis triggered by the September 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. He also worries that Britain might be unfairly tainted by Asian and other investors deciding that “Europe is a basket case.”

Well, yes. The Economist reports that three weeks ago, at an emergency meeting of eurozone leaders, Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank, distributed a ranking of countries deemed by markets most likely to default: “Greece, Portugal and Ireland were at the top, riskier than Venezuela and Pakistan; Spain was less safe than revolutionary Egypt.”

Next year may be cheerier.

London will host the Olympics and the nation will celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee — 60 years of her reign. This year, however, the refurbishing of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle has been deferred.

U.S. blessings To the editor: Monday’s 10 o’clock television news told us how blessed we are here in this country and here in this city.

TV network news showed people from Somalia carrying their children for hundreds of miles across an African desert to seek food and water at overcrowded Kenyan refugee camps.

TV local news showed people from Lawrence lining up in their automobiles to pick up free food and supplies at a local food bank.

Spidey switch spurs undue angst OK, people: chill out. Breathe.

Relax.

Spider-Man is still white. He’ll always be white. He’s been white since that day in 1962 when Peter Parker, a high school science nerd, was bitten by that radioactive bug.

In the five decades since, he’s aged about 10 years, grown and lost four extra arms, been cloned, and made a deal with a devil that rewrote all of reality. It’s a litany of impossibilities that lends a certain context to the news that seems to have left observers meshuggeneh and verklempt: Marvel Comics has killed off Peter Parker and replaced him with a new Spider-Man, Miles Morales, who is black and Latino.

Fox News (who else?) asked if this represented “a radical left turn.” Gary Stein of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel wondered if this was a good idea or PC “run amok.”

Simone Wilson, a blogger for the L.A. Weekly, celebrated a move that would “open the Spider-Man casting call from pasty crackers like Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.” Someone on a message board at The Root, took Marvel to task for a “colored Spidey” created to make money. Someone on a USA Today message board derided “super hero affirmative action.”

And that’s not to mention the folks who say President Obama had something to do with it. Or Glenn Beck, who blamed Obama’s wife.

As a Spider-fan of almost 50 years, I feel compelled to say a few things.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

America is fast “becoming a country where

no group will command a numerical majority.

Whites will be just another minority group.”

had anything to do with this should seek help immediately.

In the fifth place, “affirmative action?” Actually, comics have long proven that courage comes in both black and white. Also, orange, blue and green.

In the sixth place, leave Maguire and Dunst alone. Pasty they may or may not be, but they seem to have a modicum of class, which is more than can be said of someone who calls white people crackers.

Of course, none of that addresses the underlying cause of all this angst. Meaning, the nation’s discomfort with its own changing face.

America is fast becoming a country where no group will command a numerical majority. Whites will be just another minority group.

If some of us see that as a bracing challenge, others see it as cause for panic. But they better make their peace, because Miles Morales is just the tip of the edge of the rim of the iceberg. This change will not be forestalled. Seal the borders, gnash your teeth, bemoan the biracial Spider-Man. It doesn’t matter.

The future will come, regardless.

A smart nation would prepare for that. So it’ll be interesting to see what this nation does.

That’s all I came to say. Now, if you’ll excuse me, my spider sense is tingling.

In the first place, this death of Spider-Man takes place in an alternate universe, alternate universes being about as common in comics as sex scandals are in politics. The “real” Spider-Man remains Peter Parker.

In the second place, this is the opposite of unprecedented. The “real” Nick Fury is a crusty white man who looks nothing like Samuel L. Jackson. And we learned a few years ago that the first Captain America was black.

In the third place, as your friendly neighborhood comics dealer will tell you, books starring, — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 ahem, “colored” characters are usually poor sellers, so if this is a Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

In a move to save money on supply costs, Lawrence school district YEARS administrators had AGO recently decided to IN 1986 use a standardized logo that could be printed on stationery for all local schools. Local artists had been invited to submit suggestions for the logo.”

The 1986 Douglas County Fair had broken “all kinds of records,” said county extension agent Jack Lindquist. Thanks partly to the cooler temperatures, an estimated 55,000 people had turned out over the course of the event, including 5,000 people in a standing-roomonly crowd at the demolition derby.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 11, 1911: YEARS “Michael Perry, AGO the 9-year-old son IN 1911 of Mr. and Mrs. Newton Perry, of 1116 New Jersey street, has typhoid fever and an examination of the well on the premises shows it to be contaminated. The little chap has been sick for a week.”

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

‘Lockdown’ says KU looks all sped up Any prediction as to which potential star will develop into the Most Valuable Player on the 2011 Kansas University football team is no easy task.

The MVP likely but won’t necessarily come from the pool of the following dozen, listed in alphabetical order: wide receiver D.J. Beshears, tight end Tim Biere, cornerback Greg Brown, center Jeremiah Hatch, inside linebacker Steven Johnson, safety Bradley McDougald, running back Darrian Miller, defensive end/outside linebacker Toben Opurum, receiver Daymond Patterson, running back James Sims, safety Keeston Terry, and inside linebacker Darius Willis.

As for the best nickname on the roster, that’s no contest.

Greg “Lockdown” Brown has that distinction locked down. A coach at powerhouse Cedar Hill High in Texas pinned the moniker on him his junior year in high school, when the team won the state title. As a KU starter the last five games of 2010, Brown started to show he had the potential to develop into that rare commodity: a lockdown cornerback. As a bonus, he loves to hit, as he proved with 10 tackles against Nebraska.

Lockdown Brown. Nice ring to it.

“It’s a good sound,” Brown agreed. “I like it. I try to go by it, and if I try to go by it, I have to live up to it. It can’t be just all talk.”

Aside from speed and agility, confidence ranks as a cornerback’s most vital asset. By not running from such an aggressive nickname, Brown has set high expectations for himself.

He embraces the challenge of taking on the long, strong, fleet receivers that come his way every week in the Big 12. Cornerbacks can’t play scared, can’t let giving up one big play shake them in a way that leads to a confidence crisis.

A productive special-teams player as well, Brown quickly is mentioned in any conversation about the team’s fastest players.

He knows speed when he sees it and insists that all this talk about a faster team than a year ago has substance.

“The recruiting class that came in, they can run,” Brown said. “And I see a lot more quickness out of our defense, the linebacker corps, the secondary, even the D-line is running to the football. Much faster defense this year.”

Specifically, who looks faster?

“Toben Opurum looks fast,” Brown said.

That makes sense. During a sophomore season packed with position changes, Opurum had to think a lot, which inevitably results in hesitating. Now that his defensive mind has advanced, his speed is showing.

“Steven Johnson and Darius Willis, our inside linebackers, give us more speed as a defense,” said Brown, a junior in his fourth year in the program.

“You don’t really see middle linebackers moving fast. These guys are moving fast to the ball.”

Who else?

“We have the fastest linebacker corps since I’ve been here,” Brown said. “Tunde Bakare, he’s real fast. Huldon Tharp, when he comes in, he looks fast. Prinz Kande, he’s undersized, but he’s a fast linebacker.”

Lack of speed ranked as the No. 1 factor in last season’s blowout losses. It takes more than getting faster to turn a 3-9 team into a winner, but it’s a nice place to start.

Major expectations

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY GOLFER GARY WOODLAND, LEFT, visits with legendary golfer Greg Norman, center, and PGA professional Dan Rooney on the driving range at the Atlanta Athletic Club, where Woodland will compete beginning today in the PGA Championship.

Woodland has high hopes for PGA

By Seth Jones Special to the Journal-World

JOHNS CREEK, GA. — Gary Woodland’s PGA Championship game plan is set, and priority No. 1 is to find the fairway.

Former Kansas University golfer Woodland has been consistently good all season, but especially at the majors. Woodland is one of only three American golfers (Steve Stricker, Ryan Palmer) to finish in the top 30 in each of this year’s three previous majors.

With the PGA Championship beginning today at Atlanta Athletic Club, a course that plays to Woodland’s strengths — namely,

the long ball — he has even higher expectations for a good tournament.

“We did a little extra preparation for this tournament. We came in a few weeks ago and got most of our work done,” Woodland said.

“Now we’re just trying to make sure the game is ready to go and hopefully go out and have a big week.”

Woodland visited Atlanta Athletic Club three weeks prior to the tournament and did most of his studying before the crowds arrived. This week, he took a calm approach to preparing for the tournament, spending time on the range each day along with nine

holes Tuesday and nine holes Wednesday.

“I’ve played consistent, but I haven’t played great yet,” Woodland said of his 2011 major experiences. “I haven’t done exactly what I wanted to do.”

Woodland admits that Atlanta Athletic Club — set to play at a whopping 7,467 yards and a par of 70 — is the type of course where he plays well.

“It’s a ball-striker’s paradise,” Woodland said. “You have to drive it in play. You have to drive it long.

I think that’s the big deal out here.”

Driving it long is something Woodland has done well this season. He ranks sixth in driving dis-

tance on the PGA Tour, with an average drive of 309.7 yards.

Woodland’s caddie, John Yarbrough, believes that Woodland’s length will give him an advantage at the PGA Championship.

“This course sets up great for us.

No. 1, it’s long. No. 2, the zoysia fairways,” Yarbrough said. “The ball doesn’t run, it’s all carry. Gary hits the ball in the air. It’s definitely a huge advantage for us.”

Woodland has won one tournament this year and has earned $2.7 million this season. Despite being one of the young breakout players Please see WOODLAND, page 3B

After 14 years, Chenowith earns KU degree

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Southern California native Eric Chenowith is expecting an important document to arrive in the mail any day now.

That’d be his 2011 Kansas University diploma.

“It was at will-call at Strong Hall, but I didn’t want to make a

flight to Lawrence to pick it up,” joked Chenowith, who is beginning his third year as assistant boys basketball coach at Villa Park High School.

“The records department is mailing it out to me.”

The 32-year-old former KU center is eager to rip open the envelope and inspect a piece of paper that took 14 years to obtain.

“This makes me feel good. It gives order to my life,” said Chenowith, who left KU in the spring of 2001 needing 19 hours to fulfill requirements for a communication-studies degree.

“I always had in my mind that I’d go back to school to get it. I thought it was kind of inconsiderate of myself not to finish. I’m glad I did because everybody

Kansas WR Omigie hopes FIVE-RUN DEATH RAY this is his breakout season

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Chris Omigie redshirted two years ago and had seven catches for 73 yards over 10 games last season

Kansas University sophomore Chris Omigie is one of those guys on the Jayhawks’ football roster you probably should know something about.

This season will be his third in the program, and, because of his 6-foot-4 frame and sparkling high school resume, many paint Omigie as a guy who could’ve, and in some cases should’ve, made a splash long before now.

Not so fast.

For starters, Omigie’s still young.

Two seasons ago, when he

appropriately decided to redshirt, he was slotted behind two of the best wideouts the university ever had: Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier.

Last year could have been Omigie’s big season. With Briscoe and Meier gone, there was an opening for a big-play receiver. But a new coaching staff, a new offense — his third in three seasons — and his own uncertainty held him back, and the Arlington, Texas, native finBrian Blanco/AP Photo ished 2010 with just 73 yards on seven receptions while playing TAMPA BAY’S SAM FULD, BOTTOM CENTER, SERVES AS BOTTOM OF THE DOGPILE after he scored the winning run in a five-run ninth to sparingly in 10 games. beat the Kansas City Royals, 8-7, Wednesday in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Woods in spotlight for wrong reasons Is Texas A&M COMMENTARY

going to leave the Big 12 for the SEC?

By Chuck Carlton The Dallas Morning News

With one response, Gov. Rick Perry elevated the rumors linking Texas A&M and the Southeastern Conference beyond message board chatter and Twitter.

Asked by The Dallas Morning News’ statehouse reporters Wednesday about speculation that A&M might bolt the Big 12 for the SEC, Perry responded: “I’ll be real honest with you. I just read about it the same time as y’all did. ... As far as I know, conversations are being had. That’s frankly all I know. I just refer you to the university and the decision makers over there.”

The comments from a prominent former student, one-time Aggie yell leader and likely presidential candidate sent the message that A&M is considering a move that could again rock the Big 12 and end longstanding traditional rivalries.

At the same time, Perry’s quote raises questions. Are the conversations among A&M officials? Have they extended to talks with the SEC? Where do president R. Bowen Loftin and athletic director Bill Byrne stand?

Asked about Perry’s comments and discussions regarding conference membership, A&M released a statement Wednesday afternoon. Rather than refute the speculation, A&M took a different approach. The statement read: “President Loftin is committed to doing what is best for Texas A&M not only now, but also into the future. We continue to have wideranging conversations regarding all aspects of the university, including both academics and athletics.”

Asked in a follow-up email to confirm or deny SEC discussion, A&M spokesman Jason Cook responded: “I will decline to address further .... Thanks for your understanding.”

Byrne, traveling with the men’s basketball team in Europe, didn’t immediately return an email. With commissioner Dan Beebe attending an NCAA summit in Indianapolis, the Big 12 declined comment.

Multiple high-level sources throughout the conference indicated than an A&M move was not viewed as eminent, although things could escalate. They detailed a view of a divided board of regents seriously willing to explore the SEC option. A large, vocal contingent of the fan base has given the movement momentum.

Several Big 12 sources also expressed a growing frustration with A&M’s wanderlust and its impact on a conference trying to rebrand itself after losing Nebraska and Colorado. For the past several months, A&M was the most vocal critic of Texas’ startup Longhorn Network with ESPN and its plans to televise high school games and Big 12 football contests.

Conference athletic directors and presidents gave A&M almost all of what it wanted last week, imposing at least a oneyear moratorium on Longhorn Network high school games.

The opponent and league office must approve any conference game carried by the network. Apparently, A&M was not appeased.

Sources indicated that no other Big 12 team is considering an exit and the league would continue with nine teams if A&M left.

While sources said that A&M is intrigued about the SEC’s possibilities, the Aggies remain troubled by the Longhorn Network and its effect on Big 12 stability.

Proponents of a move to the SEC suggest that Texas A&M could finally escape Texas’ shadow and forge a separate national identity. With five consecutive BCS titles, the SEC represents the gold standard for football. A&M would be joining the elite.

But A&M would presumably join the SEC West and face a football schedule that includes Alabama, LSU, Auburn and Arkansas annually. The Aggies have lost their last six meetings against SEC opponents. The SEC maintains a conference title game. The Big 12 does not, providing an easier path to a BCS appearance.

A&M would also lose longstanding rivalries.

The Aggies have played Texas and Baylor more than 100 times. The Texas Legislature could get involved.

Yet none of that may matter given the direction A&M is moving.

SEC-ede, anyone?

Associated Press Writer

JOHNS CREEK, GA. — Even as he took the high road Wednesday in a nasty split with his longtime caddie, Tiger Woods lowered his standard of success on the eve of the PGA Championship.

It wasn’t long ago that Woods said it couldn’t be a great year without winning a major.

Now he would consider the year a success because he no longer hurts.

To be clear, he is thinking only about winning when the PGA Championship gets under way today in the stifling heat at Atlanta Athletic Club. That much hasn’t changed, and probably never will.

Asked for a realistic expectation in the f inal major — remember, this is only his third time teeing it up since April and he hasn’t won any tournament in 21 months — Woods said a “W.” “Do you want me to elaborate?” he added. “A nice W.” But he sounded as though he were looking at the bigger picture. Success is measured differently these days because of

injuries to his left knee and Achilles tendon that have made it difficult to walk, play and even practice as much as he would prefer. At least now he is able to hit balls as long as he wants after his rounds. He no longer has to put ice on his leg.

For Woods, that’s a victory in itself.

And that’s why when asked if the season could end without a win and still be a success, Woods replied, “Yeah.”

“In order to win, I had to be healthy,” he said. “That’s what we’re trying to get to. Now I can go. Now I can do the work. I can do the practice sessions, and I

think that’s the only way that my game will get to where I need to get to.”

He doesn’t seem to be going anywhere at the moment.

Woods remains the central figure at the PGA Championship, as he has been at the majors since his career began, only this time it’s for all the wrong reasons. If it’s not the longest drought of his career, or a bum leg that kept him out of the last two majors, the latest soap opera involves his ex-caddie.

Steve Williams, whom Woods fired last month, is now working for Adam Scott and took a dig at Woods on Sunday when his new boss won a World Golf Championship at Firestone. Williams, on the bag for 13 of Woods’ majors, called it the “best win” of his career.

Woods refused to nibble.

“I was happy to see Stevie and Adam win,” Woods said, adding that he sent Williams a “nice text” after the round.

Then there was the photo taken Tuesday of Williams and Mark Steinberg, Woods’ agent, having a chat under a tree (next to a fire hydrant, of all things).

Woods confirmed they spoke, offering no other details.

U.S. soccer ties Mexico, 1-1, in coach’s debut PHILADELPHIA — Jurgen Klinsmann’s debut is out of the way. All he needs now is a win.

Klinsmann’s debut coaching U.S. soccer was bolstered by Robbie Rogers’ tying goal late in the second half to help the Americans salvage a 1-1 draw against Mexico on Wednesday night.

Oribe Peralta scored for Mexico in a rematch of the Gold Cup final.

Klinsmann kicked off a new era in American soccer less than two weeks after he was hired.

He needs more time to make his mark. Klinsmann Klinsmann only held three practices since he took over a program that needed a clear jolt after years of mediocre results.

The three-time Pro Bowl left guard who missed the first seven games last season because of a 41⁄2-month contract holdout has agreed to a six-year deal with the team, according to ESPN. The Patriots had no comment on the report.

Mankins’ agent, Frank Bauer, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Earlier Wednesday, Kraft indicated that a long-term deal with Mankins, entering his seventh season, was imminent.

“Probably you’ll see our good friend Logan Mankins will be signed up soon, hopefully to be a Patriot for life,” he said. “That couldn’t have happened if we didn’t do our planning before we went into the lockout.”

GM: Chiefs ‘making progress’ ST. JOSEPH, MO. (AP) — After the NFL lockout wiped away most of the offseason, resulting in a most unusual training camp, Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli believes things are finally getting back to normal.

Just in time, too. Kansas City’s first preseason game is Friday night.

“We’re making progress,” Pioli said after a walkthrough Wednesday morning. “It was

an awkward start in terms of logistics and getting everyone organized and understanding what we could do, what we couldn’t do, not having everybody at once at the beginning part. But it looks like we’re finally into what appears to be a normal group.”

That’s especially good news to Pioli.

The entire offseason was condensed into just a couple of days once the owners and

players agreed on a new labor deal, so Pioli has been sequestered in his room trying to maneuver through free agency — and the new rules governing it — to bolster the defending AFC West champs any way he could.

“The priority is always to get players that are better,” Pioli said, “or players that will improve our situation.”

Pioli said he’s not necessarily done making moves,

though he acknowledged no one position group is due an overhaul. That includes the quarterback spot, where the two backups behind Matt Cassel are fifth-round draft choice Ricky Stanzi and young journeyman Tyler Palko — both almost entirely devoid of NFL experience.

“We’re going to see good competition,” Pioli said. “We have two good players competing really hard.”

Five-run ninth stuns Royals ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. (AP) — Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost was at a loss for words after the Royals blew a late four-run lead.

Sam Fuld hit a game-tying triple and then scored on an errant throw to complete a five-run ninth as the Tampa Bay Rays rallied to beat the Royals, 8-7, on Wednesday night.

“I really don’t know what to say,” Yost said.

Fuld hit a drive to right center off closer Joakim Soria (55) and wound up scoring the running run when second baseman Johnny Giavotella was charged with an error for a bad relay throw to third.

“It was the craziest 360 feet I’ve ever run,” Fuld said.

After Aaron Crow gave up consecutive singles in the ninth, Soria entered and gave up an RBI double to Evan Longoria, a run-scoring grounder

by Ben Zobrist and Casey Kotchman’s RBI infield single before Fuld’s twoout hit. Soria has blown seven saves in 28 opportunities this season.

Salvador Perez got his first career hit, RBI and made several key defensive plays in his major league debut and

Melky Cabrera homered and drove in a career-high tying five runs for Kansas City.

“He was really spectacular,” Yost said of Perez. “He had a great debut.”

The Royals purchased the contract of the highly-regarded catcher from Triple-A Omaha. The 21-year old had a seventh-inning single in three at-bats and added a sacrif ice fly. He also picked Kotchman off first during the fourth and Fuld at third in the eighth.

Cabrera had a pair of sacrifice flys and extended the lead to 7-3 with a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth off Jake McGee (1-1).

The Royals placed catcher Brayan Pena on the paternity leave list and put pitcher Kyle Davies on unconditional release waivers. Pena is expected to rejoin the team Friday.

ting it long helps him get there, but he wants to be known as more than the guy who hits it 350 yards — he’s got loftier goals than that.”

With tough slope on the greens and the slow-rolling fairways, Woodland says he might not unleash the driver as much as fans might expect.

“It’s hot. The ball is going to be going far. You won’t have to hit a lot of drivers, just keep it in play,” Woodland said. “It depends on conditions, and it depends on how they set it up.

If they set it up long and tough, I think single digits score will easily win this. But if it gets soft out there and they play it up a little bit, I think you can score pretty good.”

Yarbrough affirmed that if there were a strategy this week, above all it would be to keep it in the short grass.

“That’s priority No. 1 , whether you hit 2-iron, 3wood, driver, whatever it takes,” Yarbrough said. “The way the greens are sloped — so much from back to front —

that you don’t want to be coming out of the rough hitting fliers.”

Even if he is hitting driver, don’t expect too many fans to shout out the typical “You the man!” when Woodland is on the tee. He gets a different cheer out here on the Tour: “Rock chalk!”

“Everywhere, I hear ‘Rock chalk’ so much, it’s unbelievable,” the Topeka native said with a smile. “It’s nice. Unfortunately, with sponsors, I don’t have the Jayhawk on the bag anymore. But I still hear ‘Rock chalk Jayhawk.’ It’s awesome people know where I’m from.

I’ll always be a Kansas boy.”

Yarbrough, who lives in Dallas, didn’t believe there were so many Jayhawks in the world until he started working with Woodland.

“Every week, it doesn’t matter where we are, we hear ‘Rock chalk’ out of the crowd all the time,” Yarbrough said.

“It’s a big following. I told him, ‘I didn’t know there were this many alumni or fans around the country — it’s huge.’”

For now, Woodland and his caddie are just excited to play some golf. Woodland tees off at 6:45 a.m. CST today with Scottish golfer Steven Gallacher and fellow American Mike Northern. Both Woodland and his caddie say there’s no added emphasis on the tournament because it’s a major.

“We’re just going to try to drive the ball in play. The prep work for the course is done.

Now it’s just making sure the game is ready to go,” Woodland said. “Obviously, for a major championship, you have to drive it in play and make some putts. That’s what we’re going to try to do. Hopefully we get it all done.”

“Our game plan has paid off for the first three majors so far. Hopefully it pays off again,” Yarbrough said.

“We’re just a few shots from having really good finishes in the majors.”

second on the depth chart, behind third-year sophomore Christian Matthews, a player very much in the same situation as Omigie.

Erick McGriff, another sophomore who also is beginning his third season at Kansas, is trying to find his place as well.

While that threesome, as well as red-shirt freshmen Ricki Herod, Brian Maura and Andrew Turzilli, aim to break through, the KU coaches continue to stock the cupboard with young talent.

Through six practices this fall, true freshmen Marquis Jackson and JaCorey Shepherd already have turned heads.

Although senior wideout

Daymond Patterson said he, too, had been impressed by the freshmen, he cautioned against overhyping them while writing off the others.

“In recruiting now-days, you get to see so much video and all their stats and you just have such high expectations for guys,” Patterson said.

“Sometimes it’s not really fair to put expectations on guys who are that young. All those young guys, they are in that spot where they can have a breakout year or a breakout game any day.”

When he’s not watching film of himself or his teammates, Omigie likes to study a couple of pro football’s top pass-catchers.

“The receivers I look up to the most would have to be Calvin Johnson or Andre Johnson,” Omigie said. “Them both being big receivers, 6-4, 6-5 guys who go up and get the ball, I just feel like those are two receivers that I should try to mold myself into.”

Omigie thinks this could be his breakout year.

“Last year, we were all real young, and I think we were dealing with a lot of nerves,” he said. “We didn’t really have any games under our belts besides high school so we were all just coming in new and fresh. Now that we’ve knocked the cobwebs off, I think we’ll be a lot better this season.”

sor Kat Carroll and former KU assistant Joe Holladay for helping him earn his degree.

“The hardest part was to figure out what I needed.

Scott Ward mapped it out. I followed his plan. I couldn’t have done it without him,” Chenowith said.

Ward said he was proud of Chenowith’s efforts.

“Eric was amazingly mature about what needed to be done, and he did it,” Ward said. “It’s very difficult to accomplish finishing a degree after you’ve been away for a while. He was very engaged with the faculty at KU and the administration and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and those advisers. He knew exactly what he wanted to do and set some goals and timelines to get it done.

“He could have transferred his KU hours somewhere else.

He was adamant his degree was going to come from the University of Kansas.”

Chenowith — who is ranked fourth in blocked shots, fifth in rebounds and 28th in scoring in KU hoops history — said this accomplishment ranks second in his life.

“Being a Jayhawk and wearing that uniform ... nothing will ever top that,” Chenowith said. “This definitely feels good. It took me 14 years, but I got it. A lot of guys go to college 14 years. They are called doctors.”

Who knows? Armed with his bachelor’s degree, Chenowith someday might elect to pursue an advanced degree while working as an

assistant coach at some yetto-be-determined university.

“My dream job is anywhere I can believe in the university and the program. I want to go somewhere I’ll feel passion, whether in Kansas or Florida or Michigan or wherever,” Chenowith said, noting he’ll always have a soft spot for California where he lives in a house in Corona del Mar off Newport Beach.

“I think I would be a good big-man coach. I went to Pete Newell’s big-man camp three times. I’ve studied the game.

Any time I’ve been around other big guys, I’ve sought them out and gotten knowledge from them and tried to learn as much as I could. I think I’ll continue to learn. I’ll always want to learn more about this game.”

this season, Woodland still feels like he has been overlooked by many golf fans.

“I still think I’m flying under the radar quite a bit.

Which is good, but you also like to be noticed for what you’re doing,” Woodland said.

“I think (a breakout) is coming. Hopefully with a great week, we’ll get our name up there with the big boys.”

Yarbrough said he’s noticed more attention for Woodland as the season has progressed. “(His profile has) elevated all season. Partially because he’s played really well, but also because guys want to see him hit the driver, because he is so long,” Yarbrough said. “It helps him get recognized. But it’s more about him wanting to win and being one of the best players in the world. Hit-

Like many of his teammates, Omigie enters 2011 bigger, faster and stronger and ready to make his mark.

That’s really nothing new.

“I feel like every year’s the year I have to do it,” Omigie said. “Whenever I’m on the field, I feel like I have to do it.”

This might be the year he gets his first real opportunity to follow through.

Although nearly a dozen receivers are vying for playing time, Omigie currently sits

but now I feel more like a Jayhawk,” said Chenowith, now equipped to fulfill his dream of becoming a college coach.

“I already started networking, but I never had my degree. Now that I have it, I can do anything I want to do, and that’s college coaching,” added Chenowith, whose professional-hoops career took him to France, China and Puerto Rico as well as the NBDL and two other minor leagues in the U.S. He credits KU associate athletic director/academic and career counseling Scott Ward, Orange Coast College profes-

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

“Russian Dolls” (9:30 p.m., Lifetime) is not the first attempt to clone “Jersey Shore,” but it could be the most watchable.

Originally titled “Brighton Beach,” Lifetime’s new reality series examines the close-knit Russian-American community on the Brooklyn seashore.

As on so many other reality series, the emphasis is on the dating and shopping habits of young unmarried women.

Despite the best (or worst) efforts of the show’s producers to keep the emphasis on sex, bling, money, plastic surgery and contrived rivalries, the bonds of family and culture tend to humanize these characters and redeem them from the crude minstrel show of “Jersey Shore” and its lesser imitators.

While particular to the RussianAmerican experience, this is essentially a first-generation American story, with all of its promise and heartbreak. The young women appear to be thoroughly assimilated and largely accent-less, filled with concern for jobs and professions. At the same time, they feel a need to marry and become a mother before turning 25, a pressure some find more bearable than others. And there’s also an implicit assumption on their parents’ part that they will marry within the community, forcing one young woman to break off matters with her “Spanish” boyfriend. And once married with children, there is a tug- of-war between the Russian and American sides of each woman’s identity.

If the folks on “Jersey Shore” behave as if they’ve had their sense of shame surgically removed, these “Russian Dolls” are never afraid to share their conflicting feelings of ambition, gratitude and guilt.

In its earliest incarnation, “An American Family” from 1973 reality television promised to deliver a kind of anthropological study of its subjects. In its own shallow way, “Russian Dolls” returns to those roots.

At the same time, it touches on themes dating to the “stick to your own kind” message explored in “West Side Story” and the shock of intermarriage and assimilation celebrated in “Abie’s Irish Rose,” a Broadway musical hit way back in 1922. ● Catch Henry Winkler as a very desperate doctor in the oddball sitcom parody “Children’s Hospital” (11 p.m., Cartoon Network). Not for the kids. ● “Titans” (9 p.m., CNBC) profiles former Chrysler chairman and “savior” Lee Iacocca.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A winner emerges on a two-hour helping of “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox). ● “Make Me Superhuman” (8 p.m., National Geographic) profiles people with special powers. ● A Caribbean mission attracts attention on “Burn Notice” (8 p.m., USA). ● Botched robberies haunt Jane on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● A curious quarantine on “Rookie Blue” (9 p.m., ABC). ● A nonprofit plays hardball with embezzlers on “Suits” (9 p.m., USA). ● Wilfred pushes the guilt button on “Wilfred” (9 p.m., FX). ● Mike and Snooki mull the next step on “Jersey Shore” (9 p.m., MTV). ● On two episodes of “Louie” (FX): a habit examined (9:30 p.m.), an unlikely reunion (10 p.m.).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, Aug. 11: This year, you take your time. If you do not completely think through a problem, you might have to do a repeat otherwise.

The advantage of being methodical and reflective starts to become clear, especially in your day-today life. If you are single, you could meet someone quite unique who you decide to get to know better. If you are attached, the two of you need to make more space to be your individual selves. Aquarius can be challenging.

Dear Devoted: Jimmy sounds stressed and unable to control his moods. He also is verbally abusive. He might be more willing to talk about this with his doctor, but if he refuses to admit there’s a problem, your best option is to get counseling for yourself.

You might not like what you see and would rather not participate. That decision in itself speaks volumes. Tonight: Beam in whatever you want.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Someone might be kicking hard in your personal life. You could feel very uncomfortable.

Detaching might serve to cool some of the passion and anger. Tonight: Disappear.

Dear Annie: “Jimmy” and I have been married for five years. In the past two, things have slowly gone downhill.

Jimmy works long hours, and while we are OK financially, money is also a source of stress. Certain triggers that didn’t bother him before are now major issues. He gives me dirty looks, calls me names and cusses me, and he can start fights over the smallest things, usually housework I didn’t get done, toys being in the living room, not fixing him a better dinner. We fight most nights of the week.

I’m tired of the highs and lows. Jimmy’s temper has escalated, and he hits walls and slams doors. He is mean to the kids, and when I defend them, he says I am never on his side. I worry what my children are learning about relationships.

I have a part-time job, but my main job is paying the bills, cooking, cleaning, laundry and child care. I rarely ask to get my hair done or buy clothes, because Jimmy’s ex spent him into debt, and I don’t want him to think I’m like her. I would love to resume my career once the kids are older, but if it interferes with the running of the household, life around here will be miserable.

We barely have sex, because we go to bed angry.
