Lawrence’s newest green experiment is under way.

Three new hybrid diesel-electric buses joined Lawrence’s public transit fleet Thursday.

larly to a hybrid car — a bank of batteries largely power the machine when it is operating at low speeds, while the diesel engine recharges the batteries and helps the bus operate at higher speeds.

The end results, city leaders hope, are significant reductions in fuel costs, maintenance costs and pollution.

“I think compared to the old buses that we have been running, the results are going to be off of this planet,” said Robert Nugent, the city’s public transit administrator.

Nugent and several trade journals estimated that the fuel savings from hybrid-electric buses were between 30 percent to 60 percent, depending on

how the buses are used.

City Commissioner Mike Dever, who pushed the city to order the buses in late 2009, said there will be noticeable differences in places other than the fuel pump.

Vinland Fair keeps old-fashioned feel Events continue through Saturday

By Aaron Couch acouch@ljworld.com

If you ignore the modern cars and the modern clothes, Vinland Fair in Baldwin City might make you forget what year it is, at least for a few hours.

The fair was founded in 1907 and lacks the mechanical games and noisy rides of larger fairs. This helps make it feel more like a community celebration than a carnival blowing though town might, and that’s how its patrons like it.

Broadsheet

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Pop culture has given us many images of nuns: strict school teachers always ready with a ruler, happy bands of singing nuns and even a flying one.

But when Rachel Myslivy went to interview the nonhabitwearing Sisters of St. Joseph at the Nazareth Convent and Academy in Concordia, she came away with an entirely unexpected impression: passionate environmentalists.

“People have very outdated images of sisters. People picture black habits, fairly stern-looking old women,” Myslivy said. “I’ve told (peace and justice activists) that they have very likely stood next to several sisters on a picket line and had no idea. They look like any other self-respect-

ing Midwestern, modern woman.”

Myslivy began interviewing the sisters — because they are active in the community they aren’t Myslivy technically called nuns — for the Religion in Kansas Oral History Project under Kansas University religious studies professor Tim Miller.

During her conversations, the sisters continued to circle back

to environmental concerns.

They talked about recycling, composting and eating low on the food chain.

After several interviews, Myslivy realized the sisters’ environmental activism was something larger than the oral history project.

“By the time I left, I was thinking I really need to look into this.

It is pretty unique, forward thinking and progressive,” Myslivy said.

A research assistant at KU’s Center for Research on Learning and a graduate student in the religious studies department, Myslivy found the avenue to further explore the topic through a grant writing program at KU. She applied for and landed a grant from Harvard University’s Please see PROJECT, page 2A

WILLIAM C. ‘B ILL’ B RUBAKER Funeral services for William C. “Bill” Brubaker, 59, Lawrence, will be at 1:30 p.m. Monday at Lawrence Free Methodist Church.

Burial with full honors will be held at Oak Hill Cemetery in Lawrence.

He died Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2011, in St. Joseph, Mo. He was born Nov. 30, 1951, in Lawrence, the son of Clark E. and Catherine Filkins Brubaker Brubaker.

Mr. Brubaker joined the Lawrence Fire Department on Sept. 1, 1970. He was promoted to Captain in January 1983 and then to Major in 1988. He retired Dec. 15, 2001. He was responsible for fire training, 14 recruit academies and promotional assessments. His family had a long history with the fire department; their employment had been continuous since 1938.

After his retirement from the Lawrence Fire Department, Mr. Brubaker spent a short time working for Douglas County Emergency Preparedness.

He joined the Kansas Division of Emergency Management (KDEM) as Northeast Regional Coordinator on Dec. 5, 2005.

His interview was by phone because of his deployment to Hurricane Katrina response in Mississippi. He returned several times to Mississippi to instruct incident management to their State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at the request of Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.

Mr. Brubaker received the Instructor of the Year award from the Kansas Emergency Management Association in 2008. He received the Owen V. Turrentine Outstanding Emergency Management Professional Award for Kansas in 2010.

He enjoyed being in the field working with his peers and helping people. He also knew the value of an emergency scenario exercise and was a Master Exercise Practitioner. He developed and delivered numerous exercises statewide. He led the State Deployable Resource Committee, which includes search and rescue teams, incident management teams, and the law enforcement working group. His thoughts on deployable resources forever changed

Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. They provided enough money for Myslivy to visit Concordia and document the sisters’ environmental work.

“It’s like a little time capsule,” she said.

A Great Bend native, Myslivy had a connection with the sisters through her greataunt, Sister Susan Kongs, a member of the convent.

Three times, Myslivy has made the journey to Concordia to interview more than a dozen sisters. Most of the women are between 50 and 80 years old.

The sisters have established an organic garden where community members are welcome to plant food.

They have a compost pile, are staunch recyclers, hired a company to do a energy audit on their buildings and replaced all their light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent ones.

The sisters are about to launch a program that will encourage open conversations on sustainability in nearby rural communities.

Caring for the earth is a natural extension of their call to serve, the sisters have told Myslivy.

“Many grew up on farms and had early experiences with nature and being out in nature. And several of them talked of having very profound experiences with God when they were young and

the state’s ability to respond and help community’s recovery from disasters.

One of Mr. Brubaker’s priorities was building a statewide Search & Rescue team for Kansas, and this goal was achieved. He spent countless personal hours in recruiting and developing not only team members, but securing sponsors and partners for funding and equipment. He was in the process of making preparations for the fourth annual Kansas Technical Rescue Conference in September.

When his endeavor began, Kansas did not have any search and rescue teams. As of today, Kansas has seven teams, one in each Homeland Security region; combined, they make up Kansas Task Force One. Mr. Brubaker led the development of the Incident Management Teams, and was one of the first team members deployed to support the Greensburg tornado response and recovery efforts and the 2007 Southeast Kansas flooding.

His last days were spent in response to the Missouri River flooding.

Most of the emergency management and first responders in Kansas called him by the nickname “Fire Marshall Bill.” Though employed at the state level, he was an advocate for local government and responders, and was their champion in all things emergency management and public safety.

He married Denise Peery on Dec. 3, 1983, in Lawrence.

She survives of the home.

Other survivors include a daughter, Stephanie Brubaker Morley, Lawrence; a son, William Clark “Will,” Miami; his mother, Catherine Brubaker Evans, Lawrence; a brother, Bob, Lawrence; three sisters, Deborah Hobgood, Kansas City, Mo., and Wanda Fulks and Tamara Guinn, both of Lawrence; and a grandson, Kaden Morley.

He was preceded in death by his father and a sister, Kathy Meyers.

The family will receive friends from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Sunday at the WarrenMcElwain Mortuary.

The family suggests memorials to the Lawrence Humane Society, the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross, sent in care of the mortuary, 120 W. 13th St., Lawrence.

Online condolences may be sent to warrenmcelwain.com.

nature was a place they could access feelings of connectedness with God,” Myslivy said.

They also see environmental efforts as an offshoot of social justice causes, such as human trafficking and immigration.

“Environmental degradation, pollution, overconsumption — the effects of those actions are most strongly felt by the poor,” Myslivy said.

Myslivy’s grant covers just the stories of the sisters in Concordia. But she’s searching for funding to help her expand the project to include convents in Kansas that have similar concerns and programs. As fewer sisters enter the convent and those that are there grow older, their stories might not be around for the next generation.

“It is unique and is definitely not what you expect,” Myslivy said. “Because of the evolution of the sisters, it is hard to say if these sisters would be accessible in 10 to 15 years.”

and I competed in a lot of the same events the kids are doing today,” said Charles Hill, 76.

Hill sat watching the horseshoe-pitching training, where youngsters and adults could get tips form veteran pitchers. Sitting in the shade, listening to the ring of shoes striking the metal stake got Hill thinking about his father, who had pitched competitively in the 1930s and ’40s.

“Every little town had a team in those days,” Hill said.

“Baldwin would pitch against Ottawa,” and his father would travel around the region on weekends, competing in tournaments.

Hill, who was the Eudora School District Superintendent in the 1960s and ’70s, held up a pair of horseshoes inscribed “1926,” the year his father, Earl Hill, won them at the Vinland Fair.

Hill recalled the area had been home to several legendary horseshoe pitchers back in his father’s day, such as Roland Kraft of Lecompton, who lost use of his arm to polio but went on to win seven state horseshoe pitching championships.

“Unfortunately, my dad never could teach me to pitch

anyone who ends up being behind one of these buses,” Dever said. “They’re going to smell better.”

The buses are expected to reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions by up to 90 percent. In addition to having a smaller diesel engine that emits less fumes, Nugent said the buses are equipped with a secondary emissions cleaning system that improves the quality of emissions.

But the buses do come with an extra cost. The buses cost about $600,000 — or about $250,000 more than a standard bus. The city received about $1.8 million in federal stimulus dollars in 2009 that allowed the buses to be purchased without any local funding.

as well as him,” Hill said. “So I thought I’d come here and see if I could pick up some tips.”

Another horseshoe enthusiast, Ken Martin, 78, instructed curious children in the art of the horseshoe pitch. Martin has been pitching at Vinland Fair for 20 years and is a member of the Lawrence Horseshoe Club.

The club gives him the opportunity to pitch every week, and the fair gives him the opportunity to pass his interest along to younger generations.

“Enjoy yourself. It’s a fun game,” Martin said.

Near the homemade slices of pie and T-shirts for sale stood a display of scarecrows, guarding the historic Exhibition Building. This year’s scarecrows included likenesses of a Jayhawk, a Viking warrior and a cat.

Each entry will get a ribbon to honor its maker’s contribution to the fair, said scarecrow supervisor Robin Miller.

Fifty yards away, children showed off their farm skills, from sawing logs to husking corn. As a spectator, half the fun is taking in the comments coming from the crowd.

After 8-year-old Gracelyn Hinderliter won the corn husking contest for her age group, one of the judges joked that she should put her talents to good use.

“I have a whole field of that,” he said looking in her

bucket of corn. “You want to come work for me?”

Though there will be some bona fide competition, such as the antique tractor pull tonight, the Thursday events were low-key, with friends and parents cheering each other on.

Eleven-year-old Jerree Miller participated in twoman log sawing, and said it was similar to an event he had done in 4-H. “It was pretty easy at first, but it gets hard when you get down to the bottom,” Jerree said.

Brandon Newell, 10, took the extra challenge of sawing two logs in a row with two different friends.

“He’ll be tired tonight,” a woman in the crowd said after Brandon sawed his second log.

Afterward, Brandon retired to the stands, huffing and puffing. He said he had taken on the second log out of friendship.

“He didn’t have a partner, so I said I’d help him out,” Brandon said Vinland Fair runs through Saturday and takes place at 1736 N. 700 Road in Baldwin City. Parking and admission are free. For a complete list of events, visit vinlandfair. wordpress.com.

“That allowed us to feel a lot more comfortable about giving these a try,” Dever said.

Now the city will track the performance of the buses to determine whether they are living up to expectations.

Among some of the benefits the city expects to see are: ● Brakes on the bus are expected to last significantly longer because the buses are equipped with special “resistive transmissions.” Those transmissions function like a brake anytime the driver lets off the accelerator.

“We spend a lot on replacing brakes every year,” Nugent said. “We operate at an average speed of about 10 to 12 miles per hour, so that tells you how often we’re stopping.” ● Easier entry. The buses have an air suspension system that allows the bus to drop to about eight inches off the ground when stopped.

That will eliminate the need for a special hydraulic lift to assist people in wheelchairs.

Instead, people with disabilities will be able to use a ramp that extends out from the bus. ● Quieter motors. The buses will not be as quiet as a hybrid car, but they will be quieter than the average diesel bus, Nugent said. The diesel engine in the bus will run at all times to power accessories and to help keep the batteries charged. But the engine is smaller than a traditional diesel engine.

Transit leaders put the three buses out on the streets Thursday for training purposes. They’ll start hauling passengers on Aug. 22. The buses likely will be used on Route No. 11, which serves downtown, the Kansas University campus, and the area around 31st and Iowa streets.

The new buses replace three models that the city has had since 2001.

A 21-year-old woman pleaded guilty Thursday to a conspiracy charge for serving as a lookout in connection with a December robbery at Walmart, 3300 Iowa.

Jadin M. Schmutz told a judge that she and her husband, Andrew Schmutz, 21, who has already pleaded no contest in the case, watched for law enforcement officers at the urging of two co-defendants, Lonnie Schaefer, 22, and William Paterson, 19, both of Lawrence.

Paterson has pleaded guilty to using a BB gun to rob the store’s money center Dec. 13 and is serving a nearly fiveyear prison sentence. Schaefer faces an October trial in the case.

Jadin Schmutz’s defense attorney Carl Folsom said the two parties believed Schmutz — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached would qualify for an 18-month at 832-6352 probation term, and Kathleen

Britton, an assistant district attorney, said prosecutors would not seek any jail time for Schmutz in exchange for testimony against Schaefer.

District Judge Michael Malone is scheduled to sentence Jadin Schmutz on Sept. 23 and Andrew Schmutz today. Prosecutors accuse two other codefendants, Billie Jessup and Nathan Moses, also of serving as lookouts for the robbery.

1 | LONDON

U.K. will seek anti-gang ideas from U.S. Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday that Britain would look to the United States for solutions to gang violence after nights of riots and looting, and promised authorities would get strong powers to stop street mayhem from erupting again.

Cameron told lawmakers he was “acting decisively to restore order on our streets,” as police raided houses to round up suspects from four nights of unrest in London and other English cities.

Steve Kavanagh, the deputy assistant commissioner of London’s Metropolitan Police, admitted the force initially did not deploy enough officers to control the outbreak of violence, saying “it is clear we did not have enough numbers on duty to deal.”

Cameron also acknowledged that police had been overwhelmed by mobile groups of looters in the first nights of the rioting and said authorities were considering new powers, including allowing police to order thugs to remove masks or hoods, evicting troublemakers from subsidized housing and temporarily disabling cell phone instant messaging services.

He said the 16,000 police deployed on London’s streets to deter rioters and reassure residents would remain through the weekend.

Senior center to keep serving meals Clinton Place Apartments site to close Monday

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Douglas County Senior Services will continue to serve meals at the Lawrence Senior Center in downtown Lawrence, but its meal site at Clinton Place Apartments will close Monday.

Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging’s board voted Thursday

after hearing an appeal from Carleen Roberts, the new executive director at Douglas County Senior Services, to keep both sites open.

In late spring, her predecessor, John Glassman, requested that the Clinton Place Apartments location, 2125 Clinton Parkway, be closed. He also requested that the meals at the senior center, 745 Vt., be provided at Babcock Place Apartments, 1700 Mass., instead of the senior center because of library construction next door.

On July 20, the agency, commonly called JAAA, held a public forum during which people supported keeping the down-

town meal site open.

Jocelyn Lyons, JAAA executive director, said, “The senior center location will remain open until JAAA hears further notice from Douglas County Senior Services as to if it would need to close because of construction.”

The reason for the Clinton Place closure is lack of attendance. It averages six people per day. The senior center has about 25 per day.

Roberts did not return phone calls for comment Thursday.

Douglas County Senior Services provides a noon meal for anyone 60 and older at several locations in the county, includ-

Postal Service mulls cutting 120K jobs The financially strapped U.S. Postal Service is considering cutting as many as 120,000 jobs.

Facing a second year of losses totaling $8 billion or more, the agency also wants to pull its workers out of the retirement and health benefits plans covering federal workers and set up its own benefit systems.

Congressional approval would be needed for either step, and both could be expected to face severe opposition from postal unions which have contracts that ban layoffs.

The post office has cut 110,000 jobs over the last four years and is currently engaged in eliminating 7,500 administrative staff. In its 2010 annual report, the agency said it had 583,908 career employees.

Petition calls for Bert, Ernie to wed An online petition calling for the nuptials of Muppet flat-mates Bert and Ernie has sparked comment, controversy and lots of tweets.

But don’t bet on wedding bells to ring.

Chicago resident Lair Scott, who posted the petition, is seeking matrimony for the “Sesame Street” chums as a way to make gay and lesbian kids who watch the show feel better about themselves, and to promote tolerance for people who are different.

The marriage could legitimately happen, he reasons, because Sesame Street is located in New York, where gay marriage became legal in June. Others agreed. By Thursday afternoon, Scott’s petition had collected 5,800 signatures.

But there were alternate petitions also waiting on the website, Change.org. They included: “Stop Bert and Ernie from getting married”; “Stop the senseless false labeling of these two best friends”; and “Leave Bert and Ernie alone.” You could take your pick from those or nearly two dozen more.

Immunizations are not just important for children as they head back to school — they’re important for adults, too.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment is reminding families about the importance of vaccines as part of National Immunization Awareness Month.

Each year, immunizations: ● Save 42,000 lives. ● Prevent 20 million cases of disease. ● Save $13.6 billion in direct costs.

“We all need a variety of immunizations to not only help protect us throughout our lifetime, but to also help protect those around us,” said Mike Parsons, immunization outreach coordinator with KDHE’s Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention.

It is recommended that everyone older than 6 months be vaccinated against seasonal flu every year. Other vaccinations work best when they are given at certain ages. Here are some general guidelines: ● A series of vaccinations are recommended for children from birth to age 6. ● Pre-teens would get recommended vaccinations at age 11 or 12, as well as teenagers as they enter high school and college. ● All adults are recommended to have a variety of vaccinations to prevent diseases such as whooping cough, pneumonia, flu, shingles and more.

New forecast slashes outlook for Kansas crops

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press Writer

WICHITA — Another month of scorching heat and drought has dealt a heavy beating to the outlook for Kansas crops, a newly released government forecast shows.

Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service estimated on Thursday in its monthly crop production forecast that the size of the state’s corn crop would come in at 495 million bushels, down 15 percent from last year.

“The August crop report obviously isn’t very uplifting reading for Kansas,” said Sue Schulte,

spokeswoman for the Kansas Corn Growers Association. “It shows reductions for Kansas across the board.”

That downgraded forecast comes even though Kansas farmers planted 5.1 million corn acres this spring — more than at any time since 1936. But much of the corn acreage was devastated after another month of tripledigit temperatures during a critical stage of development.

The revised forecast for harvested acres is down to 4.5 million acres, meaning 300,000 acres were lost in just the past month when compared to the forecast issued in June.

With the extreme dryness and extreme heat this past month in Kansas, many of those acres are being cut and chopped up as silage for livestock feed, Schulte said..

“The dry weather was there, but then it spread. It got larger and then that heat came in behind it,” she said. “That is not a very good combination for anything that wants to grow.”

At this rate, Kansas growers are anticipated to actually harvest 150,000 fewer acres than they harvested last year.

The other part of the equation for the forecast is expected yields that are running an aver-

age of 15 bushels lower than a year ago. The new forecast yield averages of 110 bushels per acre would be the lowest since 1983.

The outlook for other crops: ● Anticipated soybean production of 100.1 million bushels is also down 28 percent from last year. It would be the smallest soybean crop in Kansas since 2007. ● Unchanged is the estimate of 273 million bushels of winter wheat harvested in Kansas. The forecast is unchanged from last month, but is down 24 percent from last year’s crop to make this harvest the smallest since 2002.

Q:

Is it possible to receive home-delivered meals on an irregular schedule through the Douglas County Senior Services program? Also, is it possible to know in advance what the menus are so one could order favorites, if any?

A:

Kim Wittman, senior meals program manager, said it’s not feasible for DCSS to provide home-delivered meals on an irregular basis.

“We prefer to add clients that are in need of the meals five days a week; however, we do understand that there are doctors appointments, etc., that do require the cancellation of a meal.”

One option, Wittman said, would be to have someone pick up a meal at one of its five dining center locations.

Reservations need to be made 24 hours in advance by calling 842-0543. A donation of $2.75 is suggested for home-delivered meals.

Senior Services lists its menus in the monthly 60 & Better newsletter, which is available at the Lawrence Senior Center, 745 Vt., or at its dining center locations. They also are available on its website, dgcoseniorservices.org.

For more information, contact Wittman at 842-0543 or kwittman@sunflower.com.

A Bonner Springs woman alleges a Eudora police officer lunged at her and put her in a headlock early Sunday morning as she was driving him in a taxi to a Douglas County strip club.

Thomas Clinton Leahew, 29, the off icer who is on administrative leave pending an internal department investigation, faces one misdemeanor count of battery in Douglas County District Court. Douglas County Sheriff’s officers arrested him at 5 a.m. Sunday in the 1800 section of North 1500 Road on suspicion of battery.

In an interview with the Journal-World, the alleged victim, a 35-year-old woman, accused Leahew of lunging at her from the back of a van while she was driving Leahew and six other people to The Outhouse, 1837 N. 1500 Road.

The woman said he grabbed her and put her in a headlock, and that Leahew hit his head

She stopped the vehicle, she said, and the friends calmed down Leahew. The woman then drove the men to a Lawrence hotel and called police.

The cab driver said it was the second time she had transported the group that night.

Leahew, who is free on bond, appeared briefly in court Thursday afternoon, and his attorney, Trey Meyer, asked District Judge Paula Martin for a Sept. 22 hearing to give him time to review information in the case. Andrea Nelson, a Shawnee County assistant district attorney, is the special prosecutor in the case because Douglas County prosecutors recused themselves from the case.

Alcohol suspected in wrong-way crash A Kansas City, Kan., man who died last weekend on Kansas Highway 10 in Johnson County had been traveling the wrong way on the divided highway for at least one mile before causing a head-on collision near Interstate 435, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Capt. Dek Kruger said troopers suspect that Ezequiel Gallardo-Moncallo, 23, drove his 2001 Mazda 626 up the wrong ramp on the four-lane highway, and other motorists reported seeing him headed east in the westbound lanes just before the 1:43 a.m. Saturday crash with an Olathe man, who was headed the correct direction.

The Olathe driver, Brian J. Ingalls, 28, was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center, while Gallardo-Moncallo died at the scene. A condition update for Ingalls was not available Thursday evening.

Kruger said troopers suspect alcohol was a factor in the crash, but they were waiting on lab test results, which could take months, before making a determination.

This is the third fatality crash since 2009 on Kansas Highway 10 in Johnson County in which one driver was headed the wrong direction for an extended period of time. Transportation and law enforcement officials classify wrong-way crashes differently than a cross-median crash in which a vehicle within seconds crosses the median and strikes another vehicle traveling the other direction.

More lane reductions set for Sixth Street Motorists should expect another round of lane reductions on portions of Sixth Street.

Construction crews were scheduled early today to restrict traffic to one lane in each direction on Sixth Street from Iowa to Missouri streets.

Some turning restrictions will be in place. The lane restrictions are part of a project to repave the stretch of street.

Work previously has been completed to repave Sixth Street east of Missouri Street.

City Hall leaders estimate that the repaving work will be completed by mid-September.

He said his retirement fund from his previous job covers his expenses. People help out along the way, and he always accepts donations to feed his bus’s 5-miles-per-gallon appetite.

From JFK to Sept. 11, conspiracy theories thrive

By Tamara Lush Associated Press Writer

DALLAS — In Dealey Plaza, with the white “X” painted on the spot where President Kennedy was assassinated, ask anyone about the grassy knoll and the second gunman.

Conspiracy theories come with the territory here. And at Barbec’s Restaurant on the other side of this sprawling city, six men sit on a covered porch and convene a meeting of the North Texans for 9/11 Truth group and talk about the government’s lies about 9/11.

The group has 50 active members; 200 on the mailing list. And they number among many thousands who, after years of investigations, don’t believe the official version of how the World Trade Center collapsed, who was responsible or what the government knew and when.

Politics doesn’t have anything to do with it; two were once staunch, Bush-voting conservatives; two are progressives and two weren’t

even interested in current events until after the 2001 attacks.

“Before 9/11, I was a working class person, going through life, pretty much accepting everything given and told to me,” said Bryan Black, a 50-year-old carpenter from Commerce, Texas, “I’m starting to see things.

I’m more open to skeptical conversation.”

The skeptics — they prefer the term “9/11 truth activists” instead of “truthers” — have persisted, even thrived in the decade since 2001, with proponents from former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel to comedian Rosie O’Donnell. And unlike the years that Kennedy assassination conspiracies took to develop, they have mobilized with lightning-like speed on the Internet, with YouTube videos of the trade center collapsing again and again.

“There’s really a foundation of reality here,” said Ted Walter, who has worked unsuccessfully to prod New York

City officials into reopening an investigation of how 7 World Trade Center collapsed on the afternoon of Sept 11.

“We believe that if all of the American public saw footage of building 7 on the nightly news, it would lead to widespread skepticism of 9/11.”

For many, conspiracy theories aren’t terrifying; they’re more comforting than the idea that an event as terrifying as Sept. 11 could be so — random.

Conspiracies can be a “security blanket” for explaining away the horrific, asserts Patrick Leman, a University of London professor who researches 9/11 theories.

“It stops us from having to confront the unpredictability of life.”

Jonathan Kay, a columnist with the Canadian newspaper The National Post and the author of a book about conspiracy theories, said it’s normal for people to seek out complicated and detailed explanations of big events.

“There is something in the

human mind that rebels against the idea of random forces or individuals being able to bring down powerful people or powerful icons,” said Kay. There’s no real estimate of the numbers of people in the 9/11 “truth” movements — there’s no one leader of the skeptics. A group called Remember Building 7 presented New York’s City Council with a petition in 2009 signed by 80,000 people calling for an independent probe into the attacks.

Other groups include Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and the 9/11 Commission Campaign, founded by Gravel.

The “truthers” generally have about a dozen beliefs surrounding what happened on that day, although there are some variations on who was responsible for the attacks and why: ● Explosives brought down the World Trade Center, not hijacked jetliners.

● There were warnings of the impending attacks from 11 different countries, and fighter jets could have intercepted at least one of the four planes that day. ● Criminal conspiracies within the government caused the attacks.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology conducted a probe that took six years to complete of the tower collapses; the last report found that fire caused the collapse of 7 World Trade Center, a skyscraper north of the twin towers. In the collapses of the twin towers, the agency found that extreme heat from the jetliner crashes

Ancient sea reptile gave birth, didn’t lay eggs Plesiosaurs fossil originally found in Kansas

THIS UNDATED IMAGE provided by the journal Science shows a life reconstruction of the plesiosaur Polycotylus latippinus giving birth to a single, large young, based on fossil evidence from the Upper Cretaceous (80 million years ago) of Kansas.

By Randolph E. Schmid Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — The remains of a giant sea creature are providing the first proof that these prehistoric reptiles gave birth to their young rather than laying eggs.

Plesiosaurs, which lived at the time of dinosaurs, were large carnivorous sea animals with broad bodies and two pairs of flippers. Researchers have long questioned whether they would have been able to crawl onto land and lay eggs like other reptiles or gave birth in the water like whales.

“This is the first evidence of live birth in plesiosaurs — an exciting find,” said geology professor Judy A. Massare of the State University of New York, Brockport, who was not part of the research team.

The newly unveiled fossil was originally discovered in 1987 in Logan County in Kansas. Encased in rock, it had been stored in the basement of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County until resources were available to separate the bones for display at the museum.

F. Robin O’Keefe of Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va., and the museum’s Luis Chiappe uncovered the bones of an adult plesiosaur (PLEE’-see-uh-sawr) and the remains of a fetus inside her.

The museum dated the fossil, which is more than 15 feet long, to between 72 million and 78 million years ago.

The researchers report on their analysis of the pregnant plesiosaur in today’s edition of the journal Science.

O’Keefe said he had seen photos of the fossil, but was still surprised when he first saw it.

“I wasn’t prepared for the emotional response I had,” he said in a telephone interview.

Anthony Russell of the biological science department at the University of Calgary, Canada, called the find “significant.”

“It would be hard to imagine these animals coming out onto land laying eggs somewhere,” he added, so arguing that all plesiosaurs were doing this is a reasonable hypothesis.

In their paper, O’Keefe and Chiappe suggest a parallel between plesiosaurs and modern whales, also large animals that give birth to relatively big offspring. Like whales, they said, plesiosaurs may have formed social groups and tended their young.

caused some steel beams to lose strength, causing further failures in the building until the entire structure succumbed.

The investigation “was the most comprehensive examination of a structural failure ever conducted,” said Shyam Sunder, lead investigator of the collapse investigation and led to 40 building code changes to make safer, terrorproof skyscrapers. NIST maintains a website with its reports and computer-based animations that reconstruct its findings to reach out to the public.

Sunder acknowledges it hasn’t reached everyone.

Dow gains big as Wall St. rockets up again

By Stan Choe Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Lurching higher in its week of whiplash, Wall Street recorded one of its biggest gains of all time Thursday after investors seized on a few signs that the economy might just be able to avoid a new recession.

The Dow Jones industrial average soared 423 points. It had already fallen 634 points Monday, risen 429 Tuesday and fallen 519 Wednesday.

Never before has the Dow had four 400-point swings in a row.

The pieces of news that sent Wall Street rocketing higher were not exactly blockbusters: Cisco Systems said its profit was better than expected, the job market got a little better, and France tried to raise confidence in its shaken banking system.

But this is a week in which any move by the market — higher or lower — seems to touch off an investor stampede. So it was on Thursday, when stocks shot higher at the opening bell and never turned around.

Carlton Neel, who manages about $2 billion as a senior portfolio manager at Virtus Investment Partners, said investors are so scared of being late to a rally or a selloff that they are trading in herds.

“Fear tends to be a much more powerful emotion, and the sell-offs tend to be more violent than the rallies,” he said. “But people are worried about missing the bottom, so you will have a few melt-ups along the way.”

The four days of trading this week have been the wildest for the market since the financial crisis during the fall of 2008. Each day has instantly taken a place in Wall Street history. The Dow’s losses on Monday and Wednesday were its sixthand ninth-largest by points, and its gains on Tuesday and Thursday were the 10th- and 11th-largest.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index has risen or fallen at least 4 percent each day. That has not happened on four consecutive days since November 2008, the depths of the crisis.

It’s only the third time since 1934, said Kevin Pleines, an analyst at Birinyi Associates.

The first was October 1987 — including the day known as Black Monday, when the S&P plunged more than 20 percent.

On Thursday, American investors got an encouraging report before the market opened when European stock markets turned around their losses and had one of their best days in recent weeks.

The leaders of Germany and France, the biggest economies of the nations that use the euro currency, announced they will meet Tuesday to discuss the financial crisis on the continent.

The stocks of French banks have been hammered because of concerns they will be hit with massive losses from European sovereign debt they hold. One European nation after another has struggled with debt, with Spain and Italy the latest.

GOP debate: Candidates hit hard at each other, Obama

By Thomas Beaumont and Philip Elliott

Spokesman: Perry running for president

Associated Press Writers

A MES , I OWA — Minnesota rivals Tim Pawlenty and Michele Bachmann sparred bitterly Thursday night during an eight-candidate Republican debate, trying to break out of the GOP presidential pack ahead of an Iowa test vote with huge consequences. Each seeks to become the main challenger to Republican front-runner Mitt Romney.

Romney, a multimillionaire businessman who casts himself as a jobs creator, made his own stir earlier in the day when, at the Iowa State Fair, he declared that “corporations are people,” drawing ridicule from Democrats.

Those were just the latest twists in the most consequential week yet in the 2012 Republican presidential nomination fight.

In the two-hour debate, the squabbling by Pawlenty and Bachmann allowed Romney, the GOP front-runner making his second presidential bid, to remain above the fray

Bachmann

Romney

and emerge relatively unscathed by his rivals.

Though every debate participant assailed President Barack Obama, it was clear from the confrontations between Pawlenty, a former Minnesota governor, and Bachmann, now a member of Congress, who had the most on the line ahead of Saturday’s straw poll that could well winnow the field.

On stage just a few minutes, Pawlenty, who is struggling to gain traction despite spending years laying the groundwork for his campaign, accused Bachmann of achieving nothing significant in Congress, lacking executive experience and having a history of fabrications.

“She’s got a record of misstating and making false

AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — Texas Gov. Rick Perry is running for president, a spokesman confirmed Thursday, a move certain to shake up the race for the GOP nomination much to the delight of conservatives looking for a candidate to embrace.

Perry spokesman Mark Miner said the governor would make his intentions known on Saturday while visiting South Carolina and New Hampshire just as most of his presidential rivals comstatements,” Pawlenty said.

Bachmann, who has risen in polls since entering the race this summer and has eclipsed Pawlenty, quickly responded with a list of what she called Pawlenty’s liberal policies when he was Minnesota’s governor, including his support for legislation to curb industrial emissions.

“You said the era of small government is over,” she told

pete in a test vote in Iowa.

It wasn’t much of a surprise. The longest-serving governor in Texas history has flirted with a presidential run since spring and has spent the past few months courting Republicans in early voting states and laying the groundwork for a campaign.

He met privately with potential donors from California to New York and gave rousing speeches to party faithful, casting himself as a fiscally responsible social conservative.

Pawlenty. “That sounds a lot like Barack Obama if you ask me.”

Much of the rest of the debate was heavily focused on the Democratic incumbent, with Romney and his seven rivals each seeking to prove he or she was the strongest Republican to take on Obama.

“I’m not going to eat Barack Obama’s dog food,” Romney said when asked whether he would have

vetoed the compromise legislation that Congress gave to the president that raised the debt ceiling. “What he served up is not what I would have done if I’d had been president of the United States.”

Notably absent from the eight-candidate spectacle were Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who was in Texas preparing for a weekend announcement tour to early primary states, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who isn’t a candidate but was stoking presidential speculation anew with a visit to the Iowa State Fair.

The nation’s teetering economic situation shadowed the debate, with stock market volatility and a downgrade in the U.S. credit rating giving Republicans ample opportunities to criticize Obama.

The Democratic president will get his shot to counter the criticism next week during a Midwestern bus tour that will take him through this state that helped launch him on the path to the White House four years ago.

But in Iowa Thursday night, the Republicans commanded the spotlight.

Sound decision The best way for Kansas University to move beyond the embarrassing athletic ticket scandal is to make sure it could never happen again.

K

ansas University leaders made a fiscally sound decision last week not to file a civil lawsuit against those convicted in a $2 million athletic ticket scheme.

But that shouldn’t be the end of the case.

University leaders now must have a system of checks and balances in place to make sure they aren’t deceived again.

KU officials and their attorneys say the costs of pursuing civil litigation against the conspirators outweigh the benefits to KU. “The time and the expense that it would take for us to pursue that case, it would far outstrip any funds that we would recover. Truly we are focused on the future and what we have to accomplish to be successful going forward,” said Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs.

This decision makes sense. Why maintain the focus on this grim chapter, especially when the financial gain is likely to be minimal?

So far, KU has collected $430,000 — $250,000 from the university’s theft insurance policy and $180,000 from the former employees — in connection with the judgment in the criminal cases. Even if Kansas Athletics pursues no civil prosecutions, this case will be kept alive by federal efforts such as the lawsuit filed this week against former associate athletic director Ben Kirtland and his wife.

The lawsuit claims that the couple’s transfer of property as part of a divorce settlement was intended to hide assets and defraud the government.

Kirtland and three other former Kansas Athletics Inc. employees — Charlette Blubaugh, Rodney Jones and Kassie Liebsch — and one consultant, Tom Blubaugh, are serving time in federal prison after pleading guilty in the cash-for-tickets scam that took place from 2005 to 2010.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger, who was hired in January, have said whatever additional funds KU recovers would be directed to the benefit of student-athletes just as the stolen ticket money would have been.

Now, KU must say what safeguards are in place to prevent another conspiracy. What are the reporting and auditing procedures? What checks and balances are in place? Who is responsible for the day-to-day oversight of the department and its inner workings?

Another issue must also be addressed.

Among the many concerns caused by this episode was the possibility that employees were afraid to speak up about questionable actions by co-workers. KU personnel must have avenues to safely share information if they suspect something is amiss.

There is a very expensive and important lesson to be learned. This case won’t be over until the public is confident that such financial abuse won’t occur again.

Political dysfunction hurts economies WASHINGTON — Free markets, in theory, are supposed to be selfcorrecting. When they’re knocked off balance, changes in prices should gradually bring the system back to equilibrium. The same process of regeneration is supposed to operate with democratic political systems, too.

What we have been experiencing lately — in dizzying falls in financial markets, and the failure of political institutions to solve problems — is disorienting. But it’s a reminder that in the real world, systems that are knocked off balance do not automatically return to the center point.

This is a time of what we can call “undampened oscillation.”

The system gets a shock, economic or political. In theory, this should generate forces of market adjustment or political consensus that restore equilibrium.

Instead, the oscillation seems to get wider. A disruption that initially seems manageable gets bigger and more dangerous as the system oscillates up and down.

We are coming up to the 10th anniversary of one of the biggest shocks ever to the U.S. political system — the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Here, too, you can argue that the healthy dampers didn’t work. Instead, the initial tremor of the attacks was magnified by the reaction. The terrorist assault, horrible as it was, led to what historians are likely to see as an overreaction — two foreign wars and national exhaustion.

Think of our political-eco-

economic crisis is that it tests this faith in democratic governance.”

nomic system as a top that has been knocked off balance: Rather than coming back to its center point, it has been wobbling ever more. Staying within our analogy, this is because the top has lost some of its spin. It’s less dynamic and adaptive.

It’s a comfort, of sorts, that economists and political scientists recognized these problems of disequilibrium a century ago.

Indeed, the effort to understand market failure and social disorder helped create modern economics and political science.

It was the central insight of John Maynard Keynes that the self-correcting mechanisms of classical economics didn’t always work. Markets got stuck at less than full employment. The market forces that should have restored full use of idle workers

and machines didn’t work — partly because individuals got scared and preferred to hold cash rather than invest in productive assets, no matter how low interest rates fell.

This was why Keynes argued for government intervention to nudge the economy from the low-output trap where it had gotten stuck. It wasn’t that he liked government spending, but that he recognized that markets sometimes overreact — amplifying the fears and preferences of individuals into collective behavior that makes everyone worse off. We have been seeing a contemporary version over the past several weeks, with frightened investors bouncing the global economy like a pingpong ball.

The lesson for Keynesians in the 1930s was that government intervention could compensate for market failure. A similar faith in government — not simply in the efficacy of fiscal policy, but in the ability of democratic political systems to solve problems — propelled the spread of American democratic values around the world after the defeat of fascism in 1945 and, later, after the collapse of communism in 1989.

Free markets and democratic political systems weren’t just desirable; they seemed inevitable.

The scariest aspect of the current political-economic crisis is that it tests this faith in democratic governance. The political systems in the United States and

Europe have proved unable over the past year to solve crucial financial problems. The political system has been no more selfregulating than the economic.

That was the real message of Standard & Poor’s downgrade of America’s credit rating after the debt-limit debacle. This was, indeed, a self-inflicted wound. It had two essential causes: the intransigence of Republican members of Congress who put their own ideology ahead of pragmatic solutions, and the inconsistent leadership of President Obama. I think Republicans deserve a greater share of the blame because they had an opportunity to avert the train wreck with the $4 trillion “grand bargain” on the budget and refused. But you can’t exempt Obama from blame: He simply has not risen to the challenge.

Europe, too, is a study in political dysfunction. It has been clear for years that you can’t have a single European currency but 16 different fiscal policies in the eurozone; this mismatch subverts the necessary process of economic adjustment for chronic debtors such as Greece. Yet the politicians of Europe haven’t been able to address this core weakness.

Their failure is as acute as that of U.S. politicians.

What does that leave as political-economic models? China, Russia, India, Turkey? No wonder the world is depressed.

UK battling internal enemy PORTSTEWART, NORTHERN IRELAND — Some have compared the riots in the UK to the London Blitz. It’s a flawed comparison. The strategic bombing of London in 1940 came from an external enemy, Nazi Germany. Enemies from within are carrying out the free-for-all that began in Tottenham, England on Saturday — quickly spreading to London and other parts of the UK — following the shooting death of suspected gang member Mark Duggan by Metropolitan Police.

Theresa May, the British home secretary, rejected calls for water cannons and more forceful methods to help overwhelmed police quell the chaos. Interviewed on Sky News, May said, “The way we police in Britain is not through use of water cannon. The way we police in Britain is through consent of communities.” If that sounds completely feckless, that’s because it is.

Businesses have been wiped out. Untold numbers of jobs have been lost. Did the community “consent” to that? If even a few shop owners had been armed, perhaps these products of the British welfare, entitlement and envy state might have thought twice about their thuggish behavior.

Unfortunately, gun laws in Britain are strict, owners must be licensed and self-defense can be difficult to prove. Northern Ireland, while also part of the UK, has more liberal gun ownership laws and the bar to prove self-defense is much lower, perhaps because of the history of violence in the country before the peace agreement. There has been no rioting in Ireland, Scotland or Wales.

When a society refuses “to impose a moral code in its schools, homes and culture, pandemonium is the result …”

recalled Parliament from its summer session to discuss the situation and to present a “united” front. But that, along with condemnations “in the strongest terms” won’t address the real problem, which many Britons may not wish to confront.

The problem in Britain, and increasingly in America, is moral and spiritual, not economic and political. British history and values are no longer being adequately taught in the UK for fear a sense of super-nationalism might be conveyed. This at a time when no nation is to be considered superior to any other, a view expressed

by President Obama.

According to a 2007 research report on church attendance in the UK from Tearfund, a UK Christian relief and development agency, just “fifteen percent of UK adults go to church at least once a month.” BBC News reports that according to a 2001 Census survey, “a fifth of children are in lone-parent families ...

91 percent of these families headed by mother” and there is “a minority of married couples for the first time — 45 percent of the population versus 64 percent in 1981.” So when the government calls on parents to be more vigilant about the whereabouts of their teenagers, the likelihood there are enough stable two-parent households who care enough to do so is not encouraging.

If civility, right and wrong, personal responsibility and accountability and the right to life, liberty and personal property are not values worthy of being passed on to the next generation, then their opposites will be taught by default. When a society refuses to impose a moral code in its schools, homes and culture, pandemonium is the result — think Detroit, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. Multiply that several times and you have the lawlessness that has swept Britain with greater force than its mad cow disease scare.

“This was not an angry crowd; this was a greedy crowd,” said Chris Sims, chief constable of West Midlands police. One could see that from the TV shots of women trying on clothes and shoes before stealing them and men ripping flatscreen TVs off walls and smashing windows and jewelry cases.

There’s a TV program called “Sons of Anarchy.” It is fiction.

These rioters are the real sons (and daughters) of anarchy and it will take more than political condemnations to repair the damage they’ve caused. Seventy years ago, the London Blitz forged a national unity in Britain. Where’s that unity today?

To the editor: Sam and I were walking down Massachusetts Street, and a fellow from Washington comes up and says, “Hey, here’s $31.5 million to help Kansans with their health insurance.”

Sam says, “Not so fast. I’ll have to pay it back and I bet there are lots of strings.”

The fellow says “No, it’s a grant and there are very few strings attached.”

Sam says, “But my big-money conservative friends might think I’m getting soft with big government money. No thanks.”

The fellow from Washington says, “But I heard, sir, that here in Kansas, people try to take care of each other.”

“No thanks, anyway.” says Sam. I look at Sam, and say, “Good job, Brownie.”

Charles Gruber, Lawrence

Other worries To the editor: Dorothy Martin’s fond memories of the fair (Public Forum, Aug. 9) are wonderful but, from the flip side of things, not everyone is involved in 4H but just enjoys the fun and carefree adolescence that the fair brings once a year.

None of the children pictured are mine, but they could have been. I personally know one of the children in the photo and know his parents quite well, and I can assure you that this young man would make any parent proud.

Would it surprise you to know he is an honor student? Perhaps the behavior in the photo was not to your liking and perhaps you don’t relate or understand enjoying the local fair if you were so busy preparing, planning and showing your exhibit. But from my perspective, this young man has displayed much more respect for others than you have.

It is quite presumptuous of you to assume that any of these teenagers or any other teenagers living in Lawrence will be contacting the local SRS office for anything based on a photo printed in the Journal-World. If you need a bandwagon to get on, let’s work on the priests that love to fondle our children, or the Christians that don’t act very Christianlike, or better yet, our corrupt government officials. Let me guess; are you from the same generation as Gov. Brownback? We should all be worried for the future — of Kansas.

Keegan DeWitt Keegan DeWitt makes the kind of well-crafted, poignant pop music that is instantly evocative and relatable. His ability to communicate through music so directly makes his other job scoring independent film soundtracks an obvious fit.

This isn’t better illustrated anywhere than on “Two Hearts,” a layered, catchy song that draws from ’80s Peter Gabriel and borrows his chord progression from John Mayer. The resultant song is aurally rich and memorable.

DeWitt is joined by Madi Diaz, a spritely indie rocker who has risen to prominence on her song “Let’s Go.” Like DeWitt, her songs are well-crafted delights that easily convey well worn sentiments like restlessness.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

A&M chatter serious What began with Texas A&M playing the role of the angry youngster who wanted to take his ball and go home appears to have moved into a stage that will change the look of the Big 12 Conference for the second time in 14 months.

You thought it was weird to have a league with 10 teams go by the moniker, “Big 12?” Try staring at one with nine.

The Rivals.com site AggieYell.com reported Thursday evening that A&M had decided to leave the Big 12 and that the SEC had extended an official invitation. According to reports, the key date is Aug. 22.

That’s when A&M’s board of regents are expected to meet and possibly vote to join the SEC as soon as 2012.

When rumors about A&M’s courtship with the SEC first surfaced, it appeared to be nothing more than grumblings from a university upset with its older brother. The Texas Longhorns always get what they want, and life, A&M seems to think, is just not fair.

However, in the past couple of days, some key people have given legs to the speculation, including Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, UT athletic director DeLoss Dodds and Texas governor Rick Perry, an A&M graduate living in Austin, who, on Saturday, is expected to announce his candidacy for president of the United States.

To call this whole thing odd would be an understatement.

To call it a done deal would be a little off base. However, there is real talk going on between A&M and the SEC, and the Aggies’ move could become official or blow up entirely at any minute.

Sources have told the Journal-World that the Big 12 could, and likely would, survive if it lost A&M. Texas, and to a smaller extent Oklahoma, are the key pieces. If they were to leave the Big 12 along with A&M, we could be in for a repeat of last summer’s scramble regarding conference realignment.

Officials at neither OU nor Texas have hinted that they’re unhappy with the current setup, so, at this point, it looks as if A&M may be walking this walk by itself.

Reports from around the Big 12 have suggested that the other nine schools have been busy getting their ducks in a row should it come time to act. But the belief here is that the rest of the league is at least happy enough with the current set-up and would be content to explore adding a 10th school — instead of disbanding — should A&M bolt for the SEC. Schools that could be considered include and are not limited to: Arkansas, Houston, Notre Dame, TCU and others.

Of course, with Missouri continuing to flirt with the Big Ten and Texas always able to do whatever the heck it wants, Big 12 ground remains unstable at best. A scenario that sends Kansas to the Big East or Pac-16 still could happen.

Things are beginning to look worse than they did a year ago as conference and school officials have had several months to contemplate what their futures might look like and how they may want to shape them.

It’s a very different landscape than it was in June of 2010, and the reality is it’s a drastically different picture than the one Beebe painted when he stood up at Big 12 media days in Dallas last month and boasted about how strong the Big 12’s bond was.

Stay tuned.

Special teams spots (mostly) up for grabs

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

So far, Aaron Stamn isn’t playing favorites.

The Kansas University special teams coach has yet to publicly declare a starter for kicker, punter, punt returner or long snapper.

He’s hoping to have those positions decided in the next two weeks.

“It is nice for me as a special teams coordinator to see all these new young guys out there,” Stamn said.

“We red-shirted a lot of them too, and they are coming out right away and want to get onto the field.”

The only position with a clear No. 1 is kick returner, as junior D.J. Beshears is back after posting 25.6 yards per return last season. That average ranked second in the Big 12

“I plan on returning kicks as well as punts. I’m looking to improve on that,” Beshears said. “I know for a couple weeks, I was up there at the top of the conference in returns. I hope to get back up there.”

The 5-foot-9 Beshears showed big-play ability in 2010, returning a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown against New Mexico State.

His 922 kickoff return yards were

the most ever by a Jayhawk in a single season.

“He just runs with passion, and D.J. does not like getting tackled,” Stamn said. “Sometimes he dishes it out more than the other guy tries to hand it to him. As a returner, that’s great.”

Beshears should be joined in the two-returner set by junior Bradley McDougald, who averaged 19.1 yards on his 14 kickoff returns last season.

Freshman running back Brandon Bourbon will get a look at kickoff returner as well.

The other positions are a little more complicated.

At punter, sophomore Ron Doherty was the leader at the end of the spring drills, but Stamn indicated

Ellis is down to KU, Kansas State, Wichita State and Kentucky. He’s eliminated Duke, Memphis and Oklahoma.

“Perry felt Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky and Wichita State had spent the most time recruiting him and had shown Please see SPECIAL, page 3B the most interest throughout his recruitment,” Auer told Rivals.com. “These are the schools that Perry feels most comfortable with. It wasn’t an easy process for him, but it's something he wanted to do.

Opurum on fire The progression of junior Toben Opurum as a defender has reached the point where Shealy has started to mention him in the same breath with words like all-conference and NFL Draft.

“Toben’s not a perfect player,” Shealy said. “Toben can get a lot better. He is now in the process of becoming a good player and that process will continue. But he did two plays today that I would put up against any guy in our conference. He made two plays that were pretty doggone salty.

Stricker ties record with 63 at PGA JOHNS CREEK , G A. (AP) — Steve Stricker stood a mere 10 feet away from the lowest round ever in a major, a captivating moment at any other championship.

Not this one.

Not with U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, the favorite at this PGA, trying to blast a 7-iron through a tree root. He injured his wrist so badly that he thought of quitting, yet somehow managed an even-par 70 despite not being able to hang onto the club with both hands.

And not with Tiger Woods looking like a 14-time major champion for five holes, only to finish 14 shots out of the lead after stumbling through the sand and posting a 77, his second-worst score ever in a major.

On a sweat-stained Thursday at Atlanta Athletic Club, Stricker became the 11th player in PGA Championship history to shoot 6 3 . He o p e n e d w i t h t h re e straight birdies and kept right on going until he stood on the cusp

of history without even knowing it.

“It never really registered,” Stricker said. “I was just trying to make a birdie and finish 8 under, and I really was concentrating on the putt, but never thought about the history part of it.”

He never thought he could be atop the leaderboard, either. After three days of practice on the 7,467yard course — the longest par 70 ever at a major — Stricker didn’t have a good feeling about his

chances. His money would have been on his Wisconsin neighbor, Jerry Kelly, and he wasn’t too far off.

Kelly had a career-best 65 and was two shots behind. Completing the American foursome atop the leaderboard was former PGA champion Shaun Micheel at 66, and Scott Verplank with a 67, perhaps the biggest surprise of the day because Verplank has been battling a wrist injury.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot 70.

By Mark Herrmann

JOHNS CREEK, GA. — It is time for Plan B. For everyone in golf who has been holding their breath for Tiger Woods to bounce back and dominate, it is time to exhale and concentrate on something else, such as learning to live with things the way they are.

Woods is not close to dominating. He is not close to being a regular winner again.

This week, he is closer to missing the cut, after having turned a great start (3 under par through five holes) into an unsightly finish (7 over) in the first round of the PGA Championship. To use a phrase that has spread like a bad cold in the industry, that is not “good for golf.”

Woods is But, to use making golf another familiar seem as phrase, that is the complicated as rub of the green.

Tough luck, like a balancing the nice drive that hits federal budget a rock and caroms or splitting the into the water.

Now is the time to atom.” realize Woods is not going to carry the whole sport the way he did from 1997 through the night in November 2009 when his SUV crashed outside his Florida home.

Considering that no one is close to being able to replace him, everyone is going to have to lower their expectations.

Television ratings are not going to be as good as they were, the sport will not make as many people as rich as it did a few years back. Get used to it. It is going to be a while at least before Woods wins majors in bunches again. And he probably never again will be the icon he was.

Thursday was another bewildering episode for him, another slippage in the mojo that has eroded since his scandal broke. Woods actually said that he was doing fine for the first few holes while he focused on “mechanical” swing thoughts, then he went south when he decided to just let it fly. “It screwed up my whole round,” he said.

This is how far he is from his form: Fixating on the backswing, downswing and follow-through instead of letting it loose is the exact opposite of the advice any of the 20 club pros in the field this week would give to his students.

Adding that he cannot play by instinct because he is not far enough along in his swing overhaul with new coach Sean Foley, Woods is making golf seem as complicated as balancing the federal budget or splitting the atom.

Figuring out his role in the sport is much simpler. He is a huge celebrity in a culture that can’t get enough of celebrities. The better he plays, the more people watch golf. The more people watch golf, the more that companies can sell. Everybody prospers. Translated, that says, “good for golf.”

But as Michael Hebron, the celebrated pro at Smithtown Landing, points out, there is a wide gap between the sport of golf and the game of golf. The former is big business, the latter is supposed to be fun.

Woods’ influence on the game hasn’t been as strong as it was on the sport. The courses that were built to accommodate the expected Tiger-inspired golf boom are struggling or, in the case of the Links at Shirley, have closed. Many people have given up because they found golf too difficult and time consuming.

Now is the time for everyone, including Woods, to loosen up (say or write anything about him, good or bad, and somebody gets really angry). He can set a good example if he stops making golf seem like such a tough, grim, joyless exercise. He should play a bunch of lower-profile tour events just for the heck of it, and not take himself so darned seriously. He ought to have a little fun out there for a change.

That should be Plan B.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS TIGHT END AARON HERNANDEZ (81) FUMBLES as Jacksonville Jaguars safety Dawan Landry (26) recovers the ball during the first quarter of their NFL preseason football game on Thursday in Foxborough, Mass.

Titans GM ready to offer RB Johnson deal NASHVILLE — The Titans are ready to make Chris Johnson the highest-paid running back in NFL history — all he has to do is show up at camp so they can finalize the deal.

General manager Mike Reinfeldt told The Associated Press on Thursday that Johnson’s agent was the first person they called once the NFL’s lockout was lifted. The Titans reworked Johnson’s contract a year ago to give him more money in 2010 and promised to talk to him again a year later.

But the Titans want Johnson in training camp before completing a new extension.

“Even though he has two years left on his contract, we’d like him to go in,” Reinfeldt said.

“He could go to meetings, get to know the new coaches, he can learn the scheme. He doesn’t have to practice, but it’s something we want to get done.

“Again, we’re willing to make him the highest paid running back in the history of the NFL. That’s kind of where we are.”

The running back’s agent, Joel Segal, was not immediately available. The agent has declined to comment during the contract negotiations, and Johnson did not immediately respond to text messages to his cell from the AP. But Johnson told The Tennessean he was surprised to hear that Reinfeldt said that he would make him the highest paid running back ever. Johnson said neither he nor his agent has received any offer from the Titans.

“Maybe they talked, but I guarantee we never received any offer,” Johnson told The Tennessean.

He has refused to report until he gets a new contract, though he did take part in a two-day player-organized minicamp in June.

WR Cotchery heading to Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to terms with former New York Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery.

The seven-year veteran was released by the Jets last week. Cotchery gives the defending AFC champions some needed depth at wide receiver behind Mike Wallace and Hines Ward.

Cotchery has 358 career receptions, but his numbers fell considerably last season in New York. He hauled in just 41 passes in 14 games in 2010, his lowest reception total since he became a starter in 2006.

Childress regrets trading for Moss MINNEAPOLIS — Former Vikings coach Brad C h i l d r e s s told NFL.com that R a n d y M o s s “walked in the locker room and vomited on it,” after he was acquired from New England last season.

Moss spent four tumultuous weeks with the Vikings before being released following an Oct. 31 loss to New England. Childress decided to release Moss without first informing owner Zygi Wilf and that played a big role in the coach being dismissed following a 31-3 loss to Green Bay on Nov. 21.

The Vikings, who had gone to the NFC title game in 2009, were 3-7 at that point.

“I should have gone up the chain,” Childress said.

“We had good guys, by and large,” Childress said, “(but Moss) walked in the locker room and vomited on it.”

MLB Tigers’ Boesch out with thumb

CLEVELAND — Detroit Tigers outfielder BrenNFL nan Boesch is expected to miss a few games Eagles’ Maclin undergoes more tests because of a sprained right thumb.

Jeremy Maclin returned to his hometown of St. Louis on Thursday to undergo further testing for the mystery illness that neither the Eagles nor doctors have apparently been able to identify.

Andy Reid said Monday on WIP-AM (610) that Maclin’s trip home had been planned, although the Eagles coach did not mention it when reporters asked about the 23-year-old during his regularly scheduled Wednesday news conference.

Maclin is from Kirkwood, Mo., and still resides there with his surrogate parents, Jeff and Cindy Parres. Jeff Parres is a urologist and because he is part of the St. Louis medical community, Maclin went there for further evaluation, an Eagles spokesman said.

Maclin had been at training camp in Bethlehem, Pa., for more than a week but had yet to practice. The most he has done is participate in light conditioning drills. He recently said that he was getting better. Reid said last week that he expected the receiver to be back by the start of the season.

The Eagles visit the St. Louis Rams Sept. 11.

As each day passes and Maclin’s illness continues to be unidentified, speculation from fans continues to grow. The Eagles’ signing of receiver Steve Smith on Wednesday led some to surmise that the former Giant was brought aboard as an insurance policy in case Maclin wasn’t ready for the start of the season.

Eagles sources said the Smith acquisition had nothing to do with Maclin’s condition.

Smith is coming off microfracture knee surgery and isn’t expected to be ready by the start of the season.

Boesch, one of the first-place club’s top run producers, had his thumb examined Thursday by renowned hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham. Tigers trainer Kevin Rand said an MRI revealed a second-degree sprain. He said Boesch will continue to be treated and wouldn’t give a timetable on his return to the lineup.

BASKETBALL Rodman’s clothing to enter HOF, too For the fashion world, it might be the biggest question since “What will Kate Middleton’s dress look like?”

What will Dennis Rodman wear to Friday night’s induction ceremony for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame?

Scott Howard-Cooper of nba.com doesn’t know the answer, but he reported Wednesday that the hall had a plan for what the Worm wore.

“For now,” Howard-Cooper wrote, “the Dennis Rodman exhibit at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., is dominated by one of his old Bulls warm-ups, red with black trim. By Saturday morning, if all goes according to plan, museum officials will exchange it for the gaudy clothes Rodman is expected to wear Friday night at the induction ceremony ... or early next week if the replacement outfit needs cleaning following the party ... or by Thanksgiving if it requires nuclear-powered steaming. The man knows how to celebrate.”

Rodman told the Associated Press that he would not don a dress but had some “real cool stuff to wear onstage.”

that the position was still open with red-shirt freshman Victor McBride competing.

Also, don’t be surprised if the Jayhawks change their punt setup after having three punts blocked out of a spread punt formation last year.

“We’re still messing around with it. We’ll see what we end up doing,” Stamn said. “We’re going to do what’s best for our football team, so we could end up doing that (spread formation). We could end up doing something else.”

“Ronnie has a very strong leg and a great, hard work ethic, and he’s very consistent,” Stamn said. “Alex gets the ball up really fast, really high. So what that prevents is, that prevents people from getting through the middle on a field goal rush from being able to block the ball easily. And he’s also very consistent with what he does.”

Both players also are competing for kickoff duties.

Doherty had three touchbacks in 21 kickoffs last season.

“He’s a conf ident guy,” Shealy said. “But I went over to him during our break today and I said, ‘That was a really nice move.’ He just shook it off and said, ‘Yeah, it was a good play.’ But we want to bottle that one up many times over.

Part of our problem of not getting pressure on the quarterback last year is being chipped away at.”

Freshmen amaze Some of the newest faces on the KU roster continue to push the upperclassmen in practice. A handful of them may have already played their way into early playing time.

“We have some freshmen that have amazed us,” Shealy said. “When I say amazed, I mean, they’ve picked up on (our defense) as fast as some of the upperclassmen did last year. We’re really excited about those individuals.”

KU and Northern Illinois have not met only once, when NIU took a 37-34 victory in Lawrence in 1983.

Kansas as a defensive end but has been moved to inside linebacker and impressed the coaches with his intelligence and passion.

“Colin Garrett did a really nice job during some pass coverage for about three plays in a row,” Shealy said. “He just did a great job matching up to some routes, and in front of all the upperclassmen linebackers I said, ‘You know that guy wants to play right now. He’s not making mistakes and he’s playing fast.’”

NCAA approves increase in APR cutline

I N D I A N A P O L I S ( A P ) — The NCAA Board of Directors voted Thursday to ban Div. I teams with a four-year academic progress rate (APR) below 930 from participating in the postseason, including all NCAA tournaments and football bowl games.

It's a significant change from the APR structure now in place. Currently, teams with a four-year APR of 925 or below face penalties such as loss of scholarships. Only if a team falls below a 900 and is therefore considered a chronduring the first week of fall ic under-performer will it face camp.

“You know what’s nice,” he asked. “You look at those defensive freshmen and not one of ’em’s a miss. They can all play. It’s a very talented class.”

Williams keeps rolling After a strong spring in which he showed a better understanding of his current position, defensive tackle John Williams, a former offensive lineman, has continued to improve during fall camp.

Shealy said the 6-3, 300pounder from Tulsa, Okla., has transformed from a big body with plenty of potential to a lean pass rusher thirsting to make plays.

“He’s become more serious,” Shealy said. “We really like the way that he’s approaching practice right now too. He’s pretty consistent on and off the field... He has a serious mentality on the field of wanting to be coached and wanting to be a good player. As a coach, that fires you up to see a guy that wants to be coached.”

penalities that include postseason bans.

If the new rules were in effect last year, Kansas State, with a four-year APR score of 924, would not have been allowed to compete in the NCAA tourney.

In October, NCAA leaders will consider when the new rules will take effect.

There will be more discussion on how to implement the new APR structure and proposed sanctions in October.

Walt Harrison, president of the University of Hartford and chairman of the commit-

tee on academic performance, said he expects the penalty structure to be phased in during a three- to five-year period.

And it’s likely any team with a substandard four-year average will be ineligible even if the team score is improving.

Current rules allow teams to be granted waivers if a team score improves significantly.

“That’s one of the things we’ll have to study between now and October, but the direction I’m getting from the board is not too much leverage there,” Harrison said.

ents’ home and applied for food stamps. He has since moved back, and my friend thinks it is perfectly OK for Zane to continue to receive food stamps. She says it helps pay for his room and board.

She even goes shopping with him to make sure he buys what she wants for the house.

Should I keep my mouth shut? After all, it is my tax money that is supporting her lazy kid. — Wondering Friend

I’m a sucker for titles that include “USA” for no apparent reason. So “Karaoke Battle USA” (8 p.m., ABC) is a natural for me.

Was the network really thinking that a show hosted and judged by Joey Fatone and Carnie “I’ll Appear in Anything” Wilson might be confused with “Karaoke Battle Belgium”?

Other judges include Joe Levy, a music journalist, and Brian Scott, who, some of you may recall, was the 2009 National Karaoke Champion. Or maybe you don’t.

Now that the nationality of the program is f irmly established, it’s safe to assume that “Karaoke Battle USA” is a karaoke contest. Wow, karaoke! A chance to see somebody sing “Ballroom Blitz” and remember all the words!

So it should be interesting to see how many viewers want to watch this alone and presumably sober, in the confines of their living room. Will they enjoy it, or will it only serve to remind them that they are not out with friends on a Friday night hearing, through addled ears, somebody’s suddenly uninhibited girlfriend butchering “I Will Always Love Yoooooooo” to thunderous applause? ● A virtual catalog of guy-sploitation genres, the ultimate f ighting /spy thriller/soft porn/shoot-’em-up “Strike Back” (9 p.m., Cinemax) is set in the secret world of anti-terrorism, high-tech gadgetry, neck- snapping violence and frenzied, won’t-call-you-in-the- morning one-night stands.

A coed multinational (OK, U.S. and British) task force has to find a rogue Pakistani terrorist, so it goes out and finds the only living man who knows what he looks like. And wouldn’t you know, he’s Damian Scott (Sullivan Stapleton), a washed-up special forces soldier holed up in a Kuala Lumpur cathouse, making his living in fixed fights and sampling the wares. Let’s just say Damian samples a lot of wares in the show’s first hour. His randy antics only stop, or slow down, so he can shoot himself out of a terror siege modeled on the real life Mumbai hotel massacre. Not sure how many guys will tune out football (see below) to watch this.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A tough day for a rookie on “Flashpoint” (7 p.m., CBS). ● Kansas City hosts Tampa Bay in preseason NFL action (7 p.m., Fox). ● On two episodes of “Friends With Benefits” (NBC): pecking orders (7 p.m.), a forgettable date with an amnesiac (7:30 p.m.). Wow! It took three episodes to get to a plot about amnesia! ● A gang leader’s murder may spark allout war on “CSI: NY” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Scheduled on “Dateline” (8 p.m., NBC): a tragic fall seems suspicious. ● A shooting touches Danny’s old haunt on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS). ● A race against time on “Torchwood” (9 p.m., Starz). ● In-your-face competition on “Whisker Wars” (9:30 p.m., IFC). ● Stand-up musings on “Lavell Crawford: Can a Brother Get Some Love?” (10 p.m., Comedy Central)

Dear Annie: For the past 10 years, my son, now a medical student, has dreaded having dinner with his father. His dad and I separated more than 20 years ago, and every encounter with the children has included his father’s wife. She dominates the conversation, makes idiotic comments, talks about how wonderful her four children are and totally excludes my son. She even had the nerve to refer to her children as “your Dad’s family now.”

My son was not congratulated for making it into an Ivy League college, getting into medical school or being at the top of his class. His father missed his college graduation party because his wife wanted to go bowling.

When we first separated, my son had dinner with his father at least once a week, and he really enjoyed the time they spent together. Now, my son rarely has time alone with his father and finds his wife self-serving and obnoxious.

The sad part is, Dad doesn’t have the backbone to leave his wife at home on occasion. All my son wants to do is spend a little quality time with his father. How can I help? — Mother of a Wonderful Son

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Young Royals fall again, this time 4-1 to Rays STANDINGS

The Associated Press

American League

American League

Rays 4, Royals 1 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — The Kansas City Royals are going through the growing pains of a promising young team.

Jeff Niemann won his sixth consecutive decision, Ben Zobrist had a two-run triple, and the Tampa Bay Rays completed a four-game sweep with a victory over the Royals on Thursday.

“It’s miserable when you lose,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “But you have to remind yourself everyday where you’re headed, knowing that is all part of the process. There’s no way to make it quicker. You have to go through it.”

Kansas City, which has the youngest 25-man roster in the majors, has lost six of seven.

The Royals had 11 hits, but went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left 10 on base.

“This is the most painful part,” Yost said. “This is where it hurts. We start to really show some improvement, but you can’t get over the hump in winning games.

You’re really close. The hardest part is maintaining your patience and maintaining your sense of reality. Exactly what you’re trying to accomplish and how you’re going to get there.”

Niemann (7-4) allowed one run and nine hits over 6 1⁄ 3 innings. The right-hander is 6-0 in nine starts since returning from a strained lower back.

The Rays first four-game home sweep since July 28-31, 2005 — also against Kansas City — included an 8-7 victory Wednesday night in which Tampa Bay scored five times in the ninth.

Kansas City rookie lefthander Danny Duffy (3-6) gave up three runs and five hits over seven innings.

“I feel like I gave it my all,” Duffy said. “I had a solid outing, but it wasn’t enough.”

2 After Joel Peralta threw 1 ⁄3 scoreless innings for Tampa Bay, Kyle Farnsworth pitched the ninth for his 21st save.

Tampa Bay took a 2-1 lead when Zobrist drove in two runs on a third-inning triple.

Desmond Jennings tripled and scored to make it 3-1 on Evan Longoria’s fifth-inning sacrifice fly.

Tampa Bay’s Sean Rodriguez extended the advantage to 4-1 on an eighthinning RBI single.

The Royals had runners on second and third with no outs in the first, but scored just one run on Eric Hosmer’s grounder.
