WILSON’S CREEK NATIONAL TLEFIELD, REPUBLIC, MO. —

BATCivil War re-enactor Alan Van Loenen, Lawrence, and his artillery crew were preparing to fire a final cannon blast toward Confederate infantry, when several soldiers, formerly (playing) dead, rose from the Missouri cornfield in front of the cannon line.

“Get back down,” yelled the crew, waving their arms and warning the nearby soldiers to remain dead, safe from the cannon’s blast.

TOPEKA — Planned Parenthood may return to federal court to force Kansas to immediately release federal funds for the group’s nonabortion services because it doesn’t believe the state is complying with a judge’s order, the leader of its regional chapter said Thursday.

President and CEO Peter Brownlie told The Associated Press that Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri has not received any family planning funds from the state, despite an Aug. 1 order from U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten, of Wichita.

COURTS Brownlie said the group has been consulting since last week with its attorneys about the issue.

Marten’s order blocked a provision in the current state budget that prevents Planned Parenthood from receiving federal family planning dollars. The judge agreed with the group that it was being improperly targeted and that the provision represented an attempt by the state to dictate a new requirement for a federal program.

Planned Parenthood estimates that the provision, if enforced, would cost it about $330,000 a year and force it either to increase charges for low-income patients or cut back on services such as providing birth control and performing exams. The state has appealed Marten’s ruling, but Brownlie said it was obligated to restore the funding as soon as Marten issued his decision.

“We and our attorneys are talking about what our next steps are,” Brownlie said.

“The state’s refusal to comply with the court’s order is rather remarkable.”

Marten declined to discuss the issue because, his judicial assistant said in an email, he doesn’t comment on pending cases.

State officials also didn’t respond Thursday to Brownlie’s comments, but last week, the attorney general’s office asked the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver to overturn Marten’s decision. The state also asked Please see PLANNED, page 4A

Re-enactors CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

artillery unit discharged their 6-pound, smoothbore cannon one last time. Through the clearing smoke the dead rose once again, brushed off the dust and marched off the battlefield to the sound of spectators’ applause.

The action was part of the 150th Battle of Wilson’s Creek Civil War re-enactment last weekend on a national battlefield 12 miles southwest of Springfield, Mo. The Aug. 10, 1861, battle is considered the second major land battle of the Civil War. The Confederates won, giving them control of southwestern Missouri.

Last weekend’s Wilson’s Creek re-enactment drew about 25,000 spectators and is one of dozens of national Civil War re-enactments scheduled during the next four years to celebrate the war’s sesquicentennial.

A fighting group According to the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield website, it was an interesting group that fought there. Jesse James’ brother, Frank James, William Clarke Quantrill and Cole Younger participated in the battle as members of the Missouri State Guard. Two years later — on Aug. 21, 1863 — Quantrill attacked Lawrence.

And 148 years later, Van Loenen was one of 3,000 reenactors who took part in the three-day engagement.

“I had 24 years in the regular military, and when I retired from that in 1995, I found out I kind of missed the military association.”

He joined the 3rd Kansas light artillery re-enactors after seeing them at a Civil War on the Western Frontier event in Lawrence.

He had one stipulation.

“I wanted to be an enlisted guy again,” said Van Loenen.

“Don’t ask me to hold any rank.”

There are an estimated 30,000 Civil War re-enactors in the United States, but the numbers have been declining from a peak in 2000 of 50,000. Van Loenen hopes the 150th anniversary sparks an increase in membership.

“To be quite honest, the average age is older, retired.

What we’d like to do is get the younger generation interested,” said Loenen. “If you like comradeship around a campfire at night, you like history and primitive camping, Civil War re-enacting is for you.”

LOCAL EVENTS Activities surrounding the annual Civil War on the Western Frontier continue through Sunday, the 148th anniversary of Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence. Here are some highlights. For more information, visit visitlawrence.com/events.

If you catch the re-enactment bug, you’ll definitely need the re-enactment look.

It takes a little gear, and authenticity is important.

Period clothes and gear can include a jacket and vest, hat, shirt, pants, boots, canteen, a tent and possibly a horse, cannon or a reproduction musket.

Out among them In the Union camp at Wilson’s Creek, hundreds of white canvas A-frame tents cover a large clearing on a dusty hillside. Spectators wander through the campsites and catch the soldiers between battles, where they eat over a fire pit, nap under a shade tree, tend horses or play cards.

Vietnam veteran Howard Rose, Kingwood, Texas, with Company A, 13th U.S. infantry, cleans his rifle before an evening meal. Rose enjoys the battles for the feeling of excitement and the adrenaline rush.

“It’s a lot better than what happened in Vietnam,” said Rose. “At least here, at the end of the battles, they blow a bugle and we all rise up and shake hands.”

One of those buglers, musician R.J. Samp, Wheaton, Ill., is practicing nearby with a fellow bugler. For this weekend engagement, Samp is the bugler for Union Gen. Terry Crowder and responsible for sending bugle signals out to

artillery, cavalry and infantry units.

“I re-enact about once a month as a bugler, usually mounted on a horse,” said Samp.

“And I still have my teeth.”

That’s no easy feat. Horses often cause the majority of re-enactment casualties. By weekend’s end, three soldiers were recovering from horserelated injuries — after they either fell off or their horses fell on them.

While the camaraderie and fraternity of re-enactors between the Blue and the Gray is evident, there’s still some competitive spirit. On a night raid of a Union campsite, a Rebel cavalry soldier was dismounted by guards and staff. As punishment, the young trooper’s horse was painted with large U.S. letters in toothpaste.

On a hill above The acted battles can be impressive for both spectators and re-enactors alike.

Chuck Nimmo, Buffalo., Mo., had a front-row seat for Saturday afternoon’s battle. It was his first time witnessing a re-enactment.

“I wanted to see more hand-to-hand combat,” he said with a slight chuckle.

“I’ve always been a big fan of the history of the Civil War. It stands out in most people’s minds because it was brother against brother and family against family. A war among ourselves.”

Bob Wandel, Lawrence, with the 3rd Kansas, who will participate in Lawrence’s Civil War on the Western Frontier, enjoys the views and vantage point of the artillery units, usually on a hill overlooking the battlefield.

“If you see a whole line of men coming at you with loaded guns, even though you know you’re not going to get shot, it’s very impressive,” said Wandel.

But working on an artillery crew has its costs too. The noise of the blasts are loud, and while not period authentic, the members of the 3rd Kansas protect their hearing with earplugs. Still they feel the reverberations.

And for each cannon blast that shakes his body and pounds his ears, Van Loenen, also a retired budget director for the KU Medical Center, considers another cost incurred by his artillery unit.

“I often think about how each time we fire — there goes another $10.”

Getting their acts together

1 | ISRAEL

Armed men cross border, kill 8 Gunmen who crossed from the Egyptian desert launched a series of attacks Thursday in southern Israel, killing eight people and threatening to destabilize a volatile border region that includes the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and the increasingly lawless Sinai Peninsula.

Israel blamed an armed Palestinian group from neighboring Gaza. Israeli forces killed five of the gunmen along the border with Egypt, the military said, and later launched an airstrike inside Gaza that killed five other militants from the same group as well as a child.

Three blasts shook Gaza early today, including one that killed a 13-year-old boy, according to a Gaza hospital official. But the Israeli military did not immediately confirm reports of three more airstrikes targeting a security compound, a home and the area of the smuggling tunnels crisscrossing the GazaEgypt border.

The Israeli military said three of the men killed in Gaza had been involved in planning the attack.

Bank buys Bella Sera condo complex

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Starting this evening, performers will take to Massachusetts Street with their various skills and props, complete with hats meant for tips. For Renner, it means more than six months of planning finally comes to an end.

“I just sit back and watch people enjoy it,” Renner said.

“It’s usually at that point I know I’m going to do it again.”

The Busker Festival will last through the weekend, starting today and finishing Sunday evening. This year’s performers will eat fire, show off feats of strength and magic, practice tricky escapes and do it all with a downtown backdrop and various musical acts.

Renner said that with the festival now benefitting an area agency, it’s got something for everyone.

“We wanted to make it more of a community event than just a downtown event,” he said. “I’m really proud of the people we have here.”

A multi-million dollar west Lawrence condominium development now is in the hands of an area bank that said it will begin searching for a new owner for the complex.

M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank was the successful bidder at a sheriff’s sale Thursday for the financiallystruggling Bella Sera at the Preserve condominium development along Bob Billings Parkway near Wakarusa Drive.

Developers had fallen behind on a mortgage for the property and owed M&I a little more than $13 million on the project.

The bank won the sheriff’s auction with a $2.075 million bid, which was the only bid made during the auction.

Cassie Writz, an attorney with the Kansas City-based law firm Bryan Cave, said her bank clients now would begin marketing the property to potential buyers.

Writz said the bank likely would look at selling the property to a single purchaser, but also may consider selling individual condos to interested buyers.

The property includes about 38 unfinished condominiums, a vacant parcel of land adjacent to the development, and several common areas such as a swimming pool, lobby, outdoor kitchen and bar area.

The auction attracted a large crowd, including many of Lawrence’s more prominent developers of commercial and real estate property.

About 13 units in the 50 unit complex are occupied. Writz said maintenance of the property’s common areas will continue under the bank’s ownership and that the development would operate in a “business as usual” mode during the transition.

COMEDIAN SWORD SWALLOWER THOM SELLECTOMY SWALLOWS a sword during the Lawrence Busker Festival Preview Show held Thursday at Abe and Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. in downtown Lawrence. The event served as a fundraiser to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County.

The annual Busker Festival returns to downtown Lawrence this weekend, starting tonight.

U.S., allies pressure Assad Executing a global squeeze play, the United States and its European allies on Thursday demanded an end to four decades of brutal family dictatorship in Syria and underscored the tough talk with new sanctions on President Bashar Assad’s government.

The unified stance isolates Assad further as he presses a military campaign against major demonstrations. But the diplomacy left many questions unanswered, including how the demand for Assad’s ouster can be backed up in the absence of any appetite for military intervention, and who inside the Syrian government or among the country’s fragmented opposition might take his place.

The messages from Washington, London, Paris, Berlin and Brussels coincided with a U.N. report recommending that Syria be referred to the International Criminal Court for investigation of possible crimes against humanity, including summary executions, torturing prisoners and targeting children in the crackdown on demonstrations.

Much of Syria was quiet Thursday, although activists reported intense shooting around noon in the flashpoint city of Latakia.

Rights groups say Assad’s forces have killed nearly 2,000 people since mid-March. The military assault on civilians has escalated since Ramadan began, with security forces killing hundreds and detaining thousands.

Fundraiser helps kick off Busker Fest

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Amid the twirling and the juggling, the singing and the sword swallowing, Lawrence residents gathered Thursday evening to help kick off the annual Busker Festival.

The first-ever Preview Show for the weekend of performing arts took place under the lights at Abe and Jake’s Landing, 8 E. Sixth St. The event, proceeds from which benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County, showcased some of the best buskers, or street performers, the festival has to offer.

Richard Renner, who started the downtown extravaganza four years ago, said the idea came to him from personal experiences.

“I’ve been a street performer myself,” he said. “I recognized that downtown Lawrence had a great possibility for that.”

For several hours Thursday, performers — mostly from outside the state —

Storm kills 3, hurts 71 at festival A storm swept through a popular open-air music festival in an eastern Belgium town on Thursday killing at least three people and injuring more than 70 others, an official said.

Ambulances and police cars raced to and from the site of the Pukkelpop festival, near the town of Hasselt, 50 miles east of Brussels, late Thursday, their sirens blaring. Concertgoers described scenes of panic as the sky darkened, the winds whipped, rain poured, hailstones nearly half an inch across pelted the crowds, and concert structures buckled.

“It was frightening. It looked terrible. All the structures collapsed,” said Brinnie Gardner, 20, of Aukland, New Zealand, who is on a tour of Europe with a friend. “There was panic. It was crazy.”

drew applause and jeers from the few dozen in attendance.

Buskers performed acrobatics, magic tricks and a few dangerous acts all to entertain and engage the crowd.

Mike Rundle, who’s housing a busker for the weekend, said he was looking forward to what the weekend might hold and acknowledged the draw of Thursday’s event.

“It’s just a really cool way to get your appetite ready,” he said following the show.

Smoke, but no fire: City tests pipes for leaks

4 | MADRID

Pope demands greater ethics Pope Benedict XVI warned Thursday at the start of a visit to crisis-hit Spain that Europe won’t be able to emerge from its economic woes unless it realizes that economic policy cannot be guided by a profitdriven mentality alone.

He said the continent must take into account ethical considerations that look out for the common good.

Benedict made the comments as he traveled to Spain’s capital for the Catholic Church’s World Youth Day, the Catholic festival held once very three years that is expected to draw 1 million young people from 193 countries for a week of bonding, praying and partying in Madrid’s streets — normally deserted in August.

Hundreds of thousands of them lined Madrid’s main boulevards to welcome the pontiff as he arrived for a four-day visit, a day after a protest against his trip turned violent. The screaming, sunbaked fans threw confetti on his car as he entered Madrid’s Plaza de Cibeles for his official welcome ceremony Thursday night.

Benedict urged the crowd flying flags from around the world to root their lives in Christ and resist the temptation to follow secular trends, such as euthanasia and abortion, saying they lead to nothing since they don’t lead to God.

The saying, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire” is not always true.

The Lawrence Department of Utilities conducted a smoke test Thursday, when crews blew smoke into sewer pipes to check for cracks and other defects. Crews monitored where smoke escaped from the pipes — areas that leaked smoke could leak water as well.

“This seemed like a fairly efficient way to narrow down the area,” said Jeannette Klamm, utilities program manager for the city.

She thought it had been about 10 years since the last time the city conducted such a test.

The pipes filled with smoke are along Burroughs Creek Trail from

11th to 15th streets between Delaware Street and Haskell Avenue, an area where storm water enters the sewer system. City officials thought pipes in this area were likely to need some repair, which is why they conducted the test there.

Klamm said the next step will be to send a camera mounted on remote-controlled wheels to get a closer look at the areas that leaked smoke. The camera will send back pictures to determine whether there are indeed defects that need repair.

Crews began working at about 7 a.m. and completed monitoring the odorless, nontoxic smoke at 3:30 Kevin Anderson/Journal-World Photo p.m. The tests had been scheduled to be continued today, but were SMOKE RISES OUT OF A MANHOLE near 13th and Delaware completed a day early. as city crews workers Mark Hegeman, left, and Matt Fishburn prepare to test another sewer line area.

The process of assigning such “contingency” teachers to enrollment “hot spots” has left classes ranging in size from a low of 15 students in first grade at New York School to a high of 30 in fifth grade at both Prairie Park and Sunflower schools.

The range does not include the two fifth-grade classrooms at Hillcrest School, whose 31 and 32 students as of Thursday were expected to welcome some relief soon, in the form of a parttime teacher to help with math and reading instruction.

The process for hiring such contingency teachers is unchanged from previous years, said Kim Bodensteiner, the district’s chief academic officer.

The district typically holds back the equivalent of 10 or so teaching positions to be assigned in schools with classroom-specific enrollment pressures.

Last year, for example, Wakarusa Valley School had three such contingency assignments. With that school now closed, the same number of positions are being spread out among fewer schools.

Among larger schools where additional assignments are halting overcrowding: ! Sunflower, where an additional kindergarten teacher has allowed for classrooms with 23, 22, 22 and 22 students. ! Quail Run, where an additional teacher has split three third-grade classrooms into four, each now with 20 students. ! Broken Arrow, which now has three kindergarten sections: 21, 20 and 20.

With direction from the Lawrence school board, district administrators strive to keep K-3 classes no larger than 26 or 27 students, compared with a limit of 31 or 32 for grades four and five.

Last year, there were more elementary classes pushing the limits than there are this time around, Bodensteiner said, which is good news going forward — especially at the lower levels.

“In those primary grades … you’re really laying the foundation,” Bodensteiner said. “We know the impact of small class sizes is greatest at that level.”

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• Lawrence police are investigating at least four vehicle burglaries that occurred Tuesday morning in the 4500 block of Grove Drive near Harvard and Folks roads, according to police reports.

• A 21-year-old female Kansas University student reported to police Tuesday that someone had stolen her laptop computer valued at $1,200 and other items in a residential burglary that occurred between 11 p.m.

Monday and 8 a.m. Tuesday in the 1100 block of Ohio Street.

• A 30-year-old Olathe man was injured Thursday afternoon in a rollover accident on Kansas Highway 10.

The accident occurred about

5 p.m. According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the man, identified as Robert Tyson Campster, was driving a Honda Accord eastbound on K-10 near Kill Creek when the vehicle went to the right, then back to the left before rolling five times in the median.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

BRIEFLY Kansas lands $3.9M highway grant The U.S. Department of Transportation announced Wednesday that Kansas will receive $3.9 million in federal grant money for seven highway projects.

The largest grant is for $1.65 million, to go toward implementing SMART Work Zone Technology throughout the state. The technology alerts drivers about work zone conditions by broadcasting realtime traffic data online and on portable road signs.

Some $147,375 will go to help the Kansas Department of Transportation to train minorities, women and disadvantaged people in northeast Kansas for highway construction jobs. And $12,000 will go toward constructing kiosks along Native Stone Scenic Byway, outside of Topeka.

A judge Thursday sentenced a 24-year-old Jefferson County man to serve a 31-month prison sentence for shooting his a relative in an argument over dirty dishes, law enforcement officials said.

Bryan E. Poeverlein pleaded guilty in June to reckless aggravated battery and aggravated assault and admitted to shooting his 22-year-old halfbrother in February at their home north of Lawrence. Poeverlein was initially charged with attempted second-degree murder in the case.

Jefferson County Attorney Robert Fox has said Poeverlein retrieved a pistol and fired two shots after the argument had escalated. One bullet struck the victim, who has been recovering from his injuries, prosecutors have said. The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. Feb. 17 at their residence in the 1700 block of Wellman Road, about 8 miles north of Lawrence. Another witness was also in the home at the time.

Poeverlein has been in the Jefferson County Jail since his arrest shortly after the incident.

Brownback defends signing abortion measure

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — In public comments, Gov. Sam Brownback repeatedly talks about the state’s budget struggles.

But Brownback, a Republican, said Thursday he stands by his decision to sign into law three controversial measures related to abortion that will cost Kansans big bucks to defend.

“You can’t know for sure what all comes out of that afterwards, but it was the will of the Legislature and the people of the state of Kansas,” he said in response to a question about the wisdom

of signing into law abortion laws that have landed the state in court.

This week, U.S. District Judge J. Thomas MarBrownback ten of Wichita rejected a request to suspend an order blocking Kansas from denying about $330,000 in federal health care dollars to Planned Parenthood.

While the funds are for nonabortion services, the measure was pushed by anti-abortion legislators who say any tax funding of Planned Parenthood is wrong because the organization does do abortions.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt, also a Republican, has hired the high-dollar firm of Foulston Siefkin to represent the state in that lawsuit.

Four attorneys in that case are each charging the state $300 per hour, according to the contract for legal services.

Earlier this week, the American Civil Liberties Union sued to block another law signed by Brownback that will prohibit private insurance policies from covering abortion costs unless the procedure is needed to save the life of the woman.

“This law is part of a nationwide trend to take away insurance coverage for a legal medical procedure that is an important part of

basic health care for women,” said Brigitte Amiri, senior staff attorney with the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project. “Many things can happen in a pregnancy that are beyond a woman’s control, so having insurance coverage for abortion ensures that every woman can get the health care she may need.”

But Kathy Ostrowski, legislative director for Kansans for Life, said the ACLU lawsuit was “an attempt to test the resolve of legislators and the new Attorney General, Derek Schmidt. It is calculated to plant doubts in the citizenry about the soundness and need for pro-

life laws by sowing discord about legal expenses, and by raising the same tired old arguments and incorrect comparisons.”

And the state faces another federal lawsuit brought by two other abortion providers who are challenging new licensing regulations. Schmidt has hired private attorneys in that case, too.

Brownback defended all three measures, saying they were passed with bipartisan support in the Legislature.

“We’ll see it on through,” he said.

Input sought on deer management practices

In the early 1980s, Douglas County saw several dozen vehicle accidents caused by deer each year. Nearly 30 yeas later, the annual average is well above 200.

“They have been relatively stable in the last four or five years, but take the last 20 years or more and you will see a dramatic increase,” said Lloyd Fox, who is the big game program coordinator for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

Those numbers and other sets of data have spurred the KDWPT to go on a statewide tour to gather ideas from landowners, hunters, farmers, naturalists, motorists and anyone else on how to best manage deer populations. Fox has dubbed it a “deer listening tour.” In Lawrence, a meeting will be from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive.

“Many people have very different ideas and desires about

what they want to see out of deer populations,” Fox said.

In surveys, Kansans consistently say they like seeing deer in nature. However, too many deer leads to more accidents, crop damage and added stress on the ecosystem.

With no natural predators to keep populations in check and increased limitations on where and when hunters can kill deer, herds have increased in Douglas County.

And continual land development has created the potential for more human-deer conflicts.

“People enjoy having them in our environment,” Fox said. “The question is at what level, and it is finding that social level that is critical.”

In particular, the KDWPT is seeking public comment on potential changes in deer

State to crack down on drunken driving

Douglas County law enforcement agencies plan to participate in a statewide effort to crack down on drunken driving in the next three weeks.

The Kansas Department of Transportation has announced special funding for overtime to allow sheriff’s offices, police departments and the Kansas Highway Patrol to increase patrols to detect drunken drivers before, during and after Labor Day weekend.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Lawrence Police Department plan to participate in the special enforcement that began Thursday and runs through Sept. 5 in which officers will be on the lookout for impaired drivers, speeding, and adult and child restraint violations, said Lt. Gary Bunting, a sheriff’s spokesman.

Also, the sheriff’s office — thanks to a second grant — plans to conduct a saturation patrol targeting drunken drivers in the county from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Saturday and from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. Sept. 9, Bunting said.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said the department plans to conduct a DUI check lane in the city during the evening hours of Aug. 26.

The Kansas Legislature passed legislation that took effect July 1 aimed at increasing penalties for DUI offenders and requiring all first-time offenders to use ignition interlock devices.

Here we go again: Another big down day for Dow

By Stan Choe Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK — Just when Wall Street seemed to have settled down, a barrage of bad economic reports collided with fresh worries about European banks Thursday and triggered a global sell-off in stocks.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 419 points — a return to the wild swings that gripped the stock market last week.

Stocks were only part of a dramatic day across the financial markets. The price of oil fell more than $5, gold set another record, the government’s 10-year Treasury note hit its lowest yield, and the average mortgage rate fell to its lowest in at least 40 years.

The selling began in Asia, where Japanese exports fell for a fifth straight month, and continued in Europe, where

bank stocks were hammered because of worries about debt problems there, which have proved hard to contain.

On Wall Street, the losses wiped out much of the roughly 700 points that the Dow had gained over five days. Some investors who bought in the middle of last week decided to sell after they were confronted with a raft of bad news about the economy: ! More people joined the unemployment line last week than at any time in the past month. The number of people filing claims for unemployment benefits rose to 408,000, or 9,000 more than the week before. ! Inflation at the consumer level in July was the highest since March. More expensive gas, food, clothes and other necessities are squeezing household budgets at a time when most people aren’t getting raises.

! Sales of previously occupied homes fell in July for the third time in four months — more trouble for a housing market that can’t seem to turn itself around. This year is on pace to be the worst since 1997 for home sales. !

Manufacturing has sharply weakened in the midAtlantic states, according to a report from the Federal Reserve. Manufacturing has been one of the strongest parts of the economy since the recession ended in 2009, but its growth has slowed this year.

The manufacturing news was especially bleak on an already bad day, said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at brokerage BTIG. He called the Fed report “an atrocious set of numbers.”

“That really set the market on its head,” he said.

Wall Street and other financial markets have wrestled for several weeks with

fears that a new recession might be in the offing. Morgan Stanley economists said in a report Thursday that the U.S. and Europe are “dangerously close to recession.”

“It won’t take much in the form of additional shocks to tip the balance,” they wrote.

Worries about European debt also hang over the market. A default by any country would hurt the European banks that hold its bonds, plus American banks that have lent to their European counterparts.

Renewing the fears, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that U.S. regulators are looking at the U.S. arms of big European banks to make sure they have enough money for day-to-day operations.

“I don’t want to pretend that the market knows what it’s thinking about too much,” said David Kelly, chief mar-

U.S. undertaking review of deportation

By Alicia A. Caldwell Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Thursday it will allow many illegal immigrants facing deportation the chance to stay in this country and apply for a work permit, while focusing on removing from the U.S. convicted criminals and those who might be a national security or public safety threat.

That will mean a case-bycase review of approximately 300,000 illegal immigrants facing possible deportation in federal immigration courts, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in announcing the policy change.

Advocates for an immigration overhaul have said that the administration, by placing all illegal immigrants in the same category for deportation, has failed to live up to

“

The Obama administration should enforce immigration laws, not look for ways to ignore them.”

— U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas its promise to only deport the “worst of the worst,” as President Barack Obama has said.

“From a law enforcement and public safety perspective, DHS enforcement resources must continue to be focused on our highest priorities,” Napolitano wrote a group of senators supporting new immigration legislation. “Doing otherwise hinders our public safety mission — clogging immigration court dockets and diverting DHS enforcement resources away from the individuals who pose a

threat to public safety.”

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter.

Republicans complained that the new policy circumvents Congress.

“They have created a working group that appears to have the specific purpose of overruling, on a ‘case-by-case’ basis, an immigration court’s final order of removal, or preventing that court from even issuing such an order,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said in a statement. “The Obama administration should enforce immigration laws, not look for ways to ignore them.

The Obama administration should not pick and choose which laws to enforce. Administration officials should remember the oath of office they took to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land.”

Planned Economists see growing Parentrisk of global recession hood to end abor-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Discouraging economic data from around the globe have heightened fears that another recession is on the way.

Fresh evidence emerged Thursday that U.S. home sales and manufacturing are weakening. Signs also surfaced that European banks are increasingly burdened by the region’s debt crisis and sputtering economy.

The rising anxiety ignited a huge sell-off in stocks that led many investors to seek the safety of U.S. Treasurys.

Economists say the economic weakness and the stock markets’ wild swings have begun to feed on themselves.

Persistent drops in stock prices erode consumer and business confidence. Individuals and companies typically then spend and invest less. And when they do, stock prices tend to fall further.

“A negative feedback loop ... now appears to be in the making” in both the United States and Europe, Joachim Fels and Manoj Pradhan, economists at Morgan Stanley, said in a report Thursday.

Both economies are “dangerously close to a recession. ... It won’t take much in the form of additional shocks to tip the balance.”

The risk of a recession is now about one in three, according to Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Among the worrisome economic signs: ! A survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia shows that manufacturing

in the mid-Atlantic region contracted in August by the most in more than two years.

The steep drop, on top of a smaller decline in a New York Fed survey this week, means U.S. manufacturing probably contracted in August, economists said.

It would be the first decline since July 2009 — a worrisome sign because manufacturing has been a key source of U.S. growth in the two years since economists say the Great Recession ended. ! U.S. home sales fell in July for the third time in four months, the National Association of Realtors said.

Sales dropped 3.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.67 million homes.

That’s far below the 6 million homes that economists say must be sold to sustain a healthy housing market.

Sales are lagging behind last year’s pace — the weakest since 1997. “There seems to be a correlation between the stock market and home prices,” said Andrew Davidson, a New York-based mortgage industry consultant. ! Consumer prices rose 0.5 percent in July, mostly due to more expensive gas and food. The “core” price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.2 percent. The higher prices add to the burdens for Americans already squeezed by stagnant pay, though economists don’t expect prices to rise much further.

And gasoline has fallen this month.

Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 53.24, or 4.5 percent, to 1,140.65. The Nasdaq composite fell 131.05, or 5.2 percent, to 2,380.43.

The cycle of selling picked up again early today in Asia, with the Nikkei off another 2 percent.

The Dow is down 13.6 percent since stocks began falling July 21 — four weeks that have rattled Americans watching their retirement savings and other investment accounts shrivel.

The program requires that when state and local law enforcement send criminal suspects’ fingerprints to the FBI, the prints are run through an immigration database to determine the person’s immigration status. States have argued that the program puts them in the position of policing immigration, which they consider a federal responsibility.

Women can still receive surgical and medication abortions in the Tucson and Phoenix areas, but those services will cease at some suburban locations.

“I think we’ve really done women a disservice in all parts of the state by imposing rules that have no medical significance and just creating barriers,” said Bryan Howard, president of Planned Parenthood of Arizona.

Money moves A formal policy should be considered to ensure consistency and transparency when the city transfers funds from one department to another.

F

or the past three years, the city of Lawrence’s auditor has been making the same suggestion. But it seems no one’s been hearing him.

Auditor Michael Eglinski believes the city should develop a policy — yes, another policy — that guides how and when money collected from Lawrence water and sewer customers can be used by other departments. It may seem like a simple procedural matter, but each year, millions of dollars that customers pay for water and sewer service are being used to finance other city expenses, ranging from street work to legal fees.

In next year’s budget, for example, $3.08 million in water and sewer collections is targeted for transfer to other departments.

Lawrence’s practice of transferring such funds isn’t unusual.

The bottom line: Other cities do that, The city should too.

While there is no have greater policy in place, no transparency about one is hinting at any who — taxpayer or impropriety at city ratepayer — is hall.

What is troufinancing what. Are bling, however, is city water and that the city has no sewer customers guidelines governpaying for services ing those transfers, that raises the or facilities that and question of whether should be financed city water and by local taxpayers? sewer customers are bolstering the budgets of other city departments that really should be financed by taxes. The bottom line: The city should have greater transparency about who — taxpayer or ratepayer — is financing what.

Are city water and sewer customers paying for services or facilities that should be financed by local taxpayers?

The findings of an audit that Eglinski completed in recent years showed that Lawrence transferred a larger percentage of its fee and rate dollars than any of the other 15 university communities he studied. He plans to update that study, and it will be interesting to see where Lawrence currently ranks.

Lawrence City Manager David Corliss said he thinks it’s appropriate to transfer funds to cover certain expenses. Say, for example, if a water line breaks, city street crews have to repair the road.

But is that being applied consistently across all departments? The city’s parks and recreation department, for example, does not pay the water department to fill swimming pools at Lawrence’s aquatic centers.

It would seem that if one department is being charged for expenses, all departments should be charged.

That could be addressed in a policy, which the city should seriously consider putting in place.

At Pentagon, a Gates team still reigns WASHINGTON — Bob Gates left the Pentagon in early July, but the new national-security team that is taking over this summer is largely Gates’ creation — reflecting the unusual influence of a Republican defense secretary in shaping the Obama administration’s personnel and policies.

Gates’ recommendations have been tapped for most of the top positions at the Pentagon. Just as important, the candidates Gates decided wouldn’t be good team members have fallen by the wayside, even if they had initial White House support. That was the case with Gen. James Cartwright, the former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs who was passed over for the top spot because Gates argued he wasn’t the right fit.

Leon Panetta, the new defense secretary, will lead a team that is collegial and congenial, two qualities Gates prized. The question is whether they have the toughness to say no to Pentagon bureaucracies that excel at logrolling and political horse-trading. Gates’ secret was his ability to impose accountability, and, with his barbed wisecracks, to scare subordinates into following his orders.

This skill will be hard to replicate.

Gates decided last year that Panetta would be the right successor. As CIA director, Panetta had taken part in every major decision since early 2009, so there would-

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

n’t be a steep learning curve.

Moreover, Gates was impressed by how strongly Panetta had fought to protect CIA personnel.

He believed the SecDef should be an advocate for the troops (to the point that Gates sometimes got choked up presenting medals in the war zones), and he saw Panetta as a kindred spirit.

Another big plus was Panetta’s expertise in budget matters, as a former director of the Office of Management and Budget. Where Gates was brought to the Pentagon in 2006 to “fix Iraq,” Panetta’s top priority will be “fixing” the military budget — by managing reductions in spending so they don’t weaken U.S. security.

That’s a tall order, and it will test Panetta’s ability to say no.

Gates managed to find a balance between supporting the troops and holding senior officers accountable. This will be a challenge for Panetta, whose initial reaction to the December 2009 suicide bombing of a CIA base in

Khost, Afghanistan, was to fend off well-deserved criticism of tradecraft. Will he take action once the field investigation is completed into the downing of a Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan that killed 22 Navy SEALs? Where Gates could be clipped and abrupt, Panetta is loose and garrulous. And he likes briefings: He has a daily “morning meeting” with a dozen senior aides, and an “operations group” meeting three times a week to discuss sensitive operations. Both are departures from Gates, who liked to devour written reports.

The Gates imprint is clear in the selection of Gen. Martin Dempsey to replace Adm. Mike Mullen as chairman of the Joint Chiefs. For many months, it appeared that Cartwright, a brainy Marine, had a lock on the job. President Obama and his senior staff were spellbound by Cartwright’s explanations of complex defense technology.

Cartwright’s problem, according to several top officials, was that he developed a reputation as a “lone wolf ” who sometimes didn’t collaborate well with colleagues. Much has been made of his 2009 support for a limited counterterrorism option in Afghanistan, contrary to the views of Gates and Mullen. But the problem went deeper: Cartwright had a prickly rela-

tionship with Mullen, and other chiefs questioned if he would be a reliable conduit for their views.

Even at the four-star level, the military is something of a foxhole, where “stars” pay a price.

What finally undid Cartwright was that Gates concluded the critics were right — and that the vice chairman had been providing advice to the White House without informing senior colleagues.

That’s when Dempsey, who had impressed the White House as acting Centcom commander, emerged as Mullen’s successor.

Rumors that Cartwright was done in by a whispering campaign are wrong; Gates simply convinced the White House that Dempsey would be a better leader.

Cartwright’s departure will leave a big hole. His successor as vice chairman, Adm. James Winnefeld, is a much-liked officer, but he lacks Cartwright’s mastery of technology — something that will be missed as a budget-constrained Pentagon tries to assess cyberwar and other new technologies.

Gates was one of the most effective defense secretaries in modern times. He tried in his final months to hand over a Pentagon in his own image. But the X-factor was the quirky, irascible, deeply experienced Gates himself — and they made only one of those.

With the return of Kansas University students to the city, Lawrence offiYEARS cials and owners of AGO local drinking IN 1986 establishments had begun their annual consideration of a recurring problem: minors using fake IDs to purchase drinks. The legal drinking age in Kansas in 1986 was 21 for private clubs and 20 for taverns serving 3.2 beer. Doug Hassig, co-owner of the Up and Under, a private club upstairs from Johnny's Tavern, said that students would soon learn which bars closely checked IDs and which did not. “We’ve always checked IDs,” he said.

Prayer is Britain’s only option BELFAST , N ORTHERN IRELAND — Some of those caught looting stores last week in Britain were asked why they did it. Four teenagers explained to Sky News that they viewed it as “a shopping spree.” One teen blamed the government: “They say (they) are going to help us, but I don’t see any of it. There has to be more opportunities and jobs. Help us at least and then maybe everyone will settle down.”

This is the triumph of the entitlement mentality and the welfare state. Conservative MP Eric Pickles wasn’t buying it: “I think that is them trying to justify being thieves, robbers and burglars.”

While a few of the teen looters sounded repentant, judges were shocked to find that just one parent showed up in court to accompany their accused child. One couple said they were “too busy.”

Anyone else see a connection between their lack of concern and their child’s rebellious behavior?

As politicians bemoan the lack of “values” in Britain and vow to get to the bottom of it, some in the media have taken up the responsibilities of preaching and teaching moral values to the public that used to belong to the clergy before it began to acquiesce to the whims and failings of culture by justifying abortion, sanctioning samesex “marriage” and signing on to other earthly agendas, like environmentalism.

A Daily Mail column by A.N. Wilson was headlined, “Legacy of a Society That Believes in Nothing.”

A London Daily Telegraph editorial cited a series of Charles Murray articles written more than 20 years ago in which the American sociologist wrote about the British underclass. Murray identi-

fied the pattern so familiar in Britain and America: fatherless homes, welfare benefits as the primary source of income, and no hope for a better future.

As in America with its flash mobs and curfews imposed in Philadelphia and considered in Kansas City and other cities, British rioters were not spontaneous creations. They developed from moral and relational decisions made decades ago.

Notes the Telegraph: “It is the result of a major cultural shift that took place in the 1960s and 1970s and the long-term decline in conservative values and institutions that had underpinned British society since the late 19th century.

This process was marked by a collapse in the belief in marriage, a retreat of the police from the streets, a move away from tough penalties for property crime, the

rise of moral relativism and rampant consumerism, the diminution of stigma as a restraint on bad behavior and the entrenchment of welfare dependency.”

The BBC proved the point about diminution of stigma when it first referred to the rioters as “protestors.” Anchors and producers had to be told by higher ups to use the more stigmatic word.

A Daily Telegraph account proved the rest of it. It told of the mother of a 12-year-old boy photographed running from a shop carrying a stolen bottle of wine.

Her profile? She lives on “benefits,” including a home subsidized by taxpayers, which she may now lose. The woman’s boyfriend, who’s in prison, fathered her son and 14-year-old daughter. Any questions?

During previous periods of cultural decline when most other political, legal and economic prescriptions were tried and failed, it was left to the churches to remind the public of the consequences for individuals and nations that depart from the source of virtue.

Today’s British churches too often lack the power to do this. That’s because they are competing to see who can bless culture the quickest.

If the churches crave power and approval from below, they will forfeit the power that could be theirs from above.

What’s left of a solid clergy in Britain ought to emulate the “concert of prayer” in America, which produced the 1857 revival that jumped the Atlantic Ocean and transformed Britain, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Prayer, not politics, seems to be Britain’s only option and last resort.

Uncertainties over the effect of recent federal wage-price freezes YEARS were causing AGO Kansas University IN 1971 parking officials to announce that all current (1970-1971) parking zone stickers would remain valid until Sept. 13. Residence hall parking permits had been slated to cost $15 (up from $10) and permits for KU’s assigned lots were to increase from $15 to $25.

Three girls, one 14 years of age and two 15, were treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after having been struck by a car on West 27th Street, just east of Missouri. A dog owned by one of the girls had been killed when the westbound car had struck the group as they were walking west on the north side of the street.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 19, 1911: YEARS “Monday is the AGO anniversary of the IN 1911 day in the history of Lawrence, Kansas, which will never be forgotten by those who were here on the 21st of August, 1863, when Quantrell and his bloody band from Missouri rode into town.... There is no reunion or public remembrance of the day ever held in Lawrence, but the outlaws who were here that date seem to think it a proper and suitable time for them to gather together and retell the stories of crime that they committed in Lawrence on that day. They are meeting today at Blue Springs, Missouri, and will spend two days together. They seem to have no shame.”

WEATHER HISTORY

After dumping 2.6 inches of rain on Cape Hatteras, N.C., the day before, Hurricane Bob ripped through eastern New England during the afternoon of Aug. 19, 1991.

Q:

WEATHER TRIVIA™ What was the strongest August hurricane to hit the United States?

List of notable Kansans launched TOPEKA — A new list of the most notable figures from Kansas includes a U.S. vice president, a U.S. senator, an American Indian leader, a famed psychiatrist and a minister who coined the phrase “What Would Jesus Do?” Gov. Sam Brownback and the Kansas Historical Society announced the first five of 25 names Thursday in a ceremony in Topeka. Eleven historians chose them. The rest will be revealed in the coming weeks.

The initial list includes Charles Curtis, vice president from 1929 to 1933; Sen. and Gov. Arthur Capper, who established a foundation to help disabled children; Kiowa chief Satanta; and Dr. Karl Menninger, whose world-renowned psychiatric clinic started in Topeka.

The other honoree was the Rev. Charles Sheldon, whose 1896 book, “In His Steps,” asked readers to consider what Jesus would do in situations in daily life.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Early optimism natural Palm-tree optimism colors nearly every story written from spring-training camps throughout major-league baseball.

Nothing inappropriate about that. Every young ballplayer deserves to have the skills that gave him a shot at the big leagues highlighted. After all, he hasn’t lost a single game.

The same goes for college football squads sweating through summer camps. No point in doubting that a returning player has taken the proper steps to improve, unless coaches or teammates hint he has not. No reason to dispute a newcomer deserved the scholarship he was granted before seeing him play a single snap.

All we can do, as reporters of a team coming off a 3-9 season that featured an embarrassing loss to Div. I-AA North Dakota State, was on the wrong end of three consecutive mega-blowouts and gradually became more competitive before dropping a stink-bomb in Arrowhead Stadium against despised rival Missouri, is to try to find out what teammates and coaches think of various players.

Naturally, they’ll paint a positive picture, which leads to skeptical Kansas University football fans often asking me, “Are they really going to be as good as you guys are telling us they’re going to be?”

Oops. Didn’t mean to mislead anybody. It’s just that time of year. When a team hasn’t lost a game and we haven’t had access to view a single practice or scrimmage, why go negative?

Accentuate the positive and still try to bring a dose of reality to the situation.

The reality: The roster is faster than it was a year ago, which should eliminate the embarrassing look of some of the blowouts. The team is extremely young, and teenagers tend not to win very many games. On paper, the defensive line shapes up as the weakest in the Big 12, the linebackers are quick, but not particularly big, and the secondary looks strong.

Offensively, the line should be considerably better than last year, when it was particularly porous. The receivers? They’ll block better because if you don’t block for David Beaty, you don’t play. Get the ball to D.J. Beshears or Daymond Patterson in space and good things could happen.

Beyond them, so little experience from the unit makes it tough to draw any conclusions.

Look for quarterback Jordan Webb to perform better with added protection and the wisdom not to try to hit the home run when working a walk is the right play. When Webb’s missing the mark, no reason Quinn Mecham can’t come out of the bullpen. Like a zone-buster in basketball, a pool player who has worked up a good hatred for his cocky opponent and a hitter who can’t make an out in baseball, Mecham has the look of a guy who sees everything in slow motion when he gets a hot hand.

The run game should improve with the wide variety of complements to James Sims.

The speedy Tony Pierson, slithery, make-’em miss Darrian Miller, big-and-fast Brandon Bourbon and rugged fullback Nick Sizemore supply KU offensive coordinator Chuck Long more options than he had last season.

The special teams can’t be any worse.

So what might it all mean?

That Kansas will be a better 3-9 team in 2011 than it was in 2010.

Going out in style

KANSAS UNIVERSITY WIDE RECEIVER DAYMOND PATTERSON WILL BE COUNTED ON as the Jayhawks No. 1 receiver this fall. Patterson led KU with 60 catches in 2010.

WR Patterson (‘Mighty Mouse’) hoping for big season

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Daymond Patterson isn’t one of the biggest wide receivers on Kansas University’s football roster.

On paper, he just happens to be the best.

“He’s like ‘Mighty Mouse.’ He is small, but he packs a lot of punch,” KU junior safety Lubbock Smith said of the 5-foot-9, 173-pound Patterson, who caught a team-leading 60 passes for 487 yards and two touchdowns last season.

“Every time you see him, he’s driving, trying to do better.

Regardless of what is happening, he’s going to go hard every down,” Smith added.

The Mesquite, Texas, senior’s 60 catches marked the seventhhighest total by a KU receiver in the last 26 years.

“Daymond Patterson will probably be front-runner for our

receiver corps again because he is a great receiver and has great hands,” KU junior safety Bradley McDougald said. “He’s very shifty and a lot of defenders aren’t able to tackle him. He makes them miss in the open field.

“The thing I admire most about him,” McDougald added, “is his preparation for the game and his love for the game. He is a talker out there, but usually backs it up.

He knows he’s going to do it because of his preparation.”

Patterson is intent on having a stellar senior season.

“Every year, every game, I feel a sense of urgency that I need to make plays for my team,” Patterson said. “This is my senior year.

This could be my last year of football so I have to, every practice, every game, take every snap like it’s my last. I am looking to go out there and end this career at KU with a bang.”

Patterson — he’s majoring in pre-sports management with designs on possibly being a player agent or college athletic director someday — naturally would love to better last year’s totals.

“I am looking to improve on my numbers in all areas,” Patterson said, “as long as they are helping the team get better. I don’t want 100 catches if we don’t win games. I’ll take 50 catches if we are winning games and going to a bowl game because the num-

bers will come if things are working for the offense as a whole. All I’m trying to do is put myself in position to make as many plays as I can for the team.”

He’s known as one of KU’s hardest workers.

“I need to work on everything from catching the ball to running after the catch, blocking. It doesn’t matter how well you are doing. You can always get better every day,” Patterson said. “I am teaching myself to be a more rounded receiver.”

Patterson had a season-high eight catches against Colorado for 75 yards. He had seven catches for 85 yards and a touchdown against Georgia Tech. Coincidentally, KU won both those games in a three-win season.

“I pride myself on making big plays. One play can change a game totally and swing the momentum Please see PATTERSON, page 3B

The Kansas University football staff continues to have recruiting success in Texas. That point is illustrated by Turner Gill and the Jayhawks recently picking up an oral commitment from three-star tight end Jordan Smith, of Waco’s Reicher High.

According to JayhawkSlant. com, Smith, 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, was KU’s top tight-end target in the Class of the 2012. He committed via telephone Wednesday night in an unusual way.

“I told them it was a soft verbal,” Smith told the website.

“That’s only because I want to

commit to them in person. I owe it to them as a sign of respect to tell them face-to-face. It’s how I have been raised. Kansas is where I want to be, and I know they will make me a better player.”

Regarded by many recruiting services as a freak athlete, Smith runs the 40-yard dash in Smith the 4.7-second range and also has a 32-inch vertical jump.

At the time of his commitment, Smith held offers from Air Force, Cincinnati, Kansas and UTEP.

However, his recruitment had picked up a lot recent weeks, with others such as Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and Texas Tech showing more interest.

“I probably could have waited, and there would have been more offers,” Smith said. “But the people make the place, and Kansas has the people.”

Smith becomes KU’s seventh commitment from the Class of 2012. All commitments are nonbinding until signing day in February.

Jayhawks on TLN? As reports surfaced Thurs-

day that the University of Texas was planning to broadcast one Big 12 Conference game on the newly formed Longhorn Network this fall, Chip Brown, of Orangebloods.com, reported that a source told him the opponent for that game would be Kansas University on Oct. 29 or Kansas State on Nov. 19.

In order for the network to show one of UT’s home, Big 12 games, it would have to be one that the networks elect not to show. Because KU and KSU don’t have huge national appeal, both schools make sense. However, Jim Marchiony, KU’s associate Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Former Kansas guard Robinson to play in Paris

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University point guard Russell Robinson, who played professional basketball in Barcelona last year, is off to Paris for the 2011-12 season.

“It’ll be pretty hard to top that, but from what I hear, Paris is pretty fun, too,” Robinson — Sports editor Tom Keegan be reached at said Thursday night from New 832-7147. York’s LaGuardia Airport. He

was preparing to board a flight to France, where he’ll be playing for JSF Nanterre this season.

“France is a good league, probably right behind Spain. It’s very, very competitive. It’s going to be a good challenge. I’m looking forward to it,” added Robinson, who has signed a oneyear contract. Terms were not disclosed.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound New York native averaged 9.6

points and 2.8 assists per game for DKV Joventut Badalona in 2010-11.

“The market is funny this year with all the NBA players checking out jobs. You take what is available at the time. This job is definitely the best one,” said Robinson.

The starting point guard on KU’s 2008 NCAA title team had planned on battling for a spot in the NBA this season. The

lockout, however, could wipe out the entire 2011-12 NBA campaign.

“Obviously I want to be in the U.S., if there’s any chance to be in the U.S.,” said the 25-yearold Robinson. “I thought this year was a good year to give it a shot. I went to Charlotte and had a good time there (working Robinson was the out with Bobcats prior to start starting point guard on KU’s Please see ROBINSON, page 3B 2008 title team

Texas, ESPN say UT network wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt Big 12 AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The University of Texas and ESPN defended the $300 million Longhorn Network on Thursday amid uncertainty over whether Texas A&M will remain in the Big 12 after expressing concern over its archrivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exclusive television outlet.

The Longhorn Network launches next week. Although Texas is not the first school to have its

own sports network, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time ESPN will be behind one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opportunities are just huge for each (Big 12) institution,â&#x20AC;?

Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as time goes by weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all learn how to better use those opportunities and get past somebody having a network.â&#x20AC;?

Texas A&M may not be willing to wait. The Aggies are considering leaving the Big 12 and have reached

out to the Southeastern Conference. A&M president R. Bowen Loftin said this week there is no timetable for a decision, but that whatever happens will boil down to â&#x20AC;&#x153;visibility for us and our athletes and our financial resources.â&#x20AC;?

During an open house of the Longhorn Network studios, on the outskirts of the UT campus, Dodds sounded confident of the Big 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survival. He called the

league too unique to mirror the television deals struck by the Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC, and said he believed every Big 12 school could launch a network of its own.

Dodds singled out Kansas State, which this week announced that it will launch an online sports network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think in 30 years the Big 12 will look smart for doing it this way,â&#x20AC;? Dodds said.

Gâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;town, Chinese basketball teams brawl Texas A&M, SEC play out teen love drama

By David Thomas McClatchy Newspapers

I suspected there would come a time when having a teenage daughter would come in handy. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate that benefit would pop up in the wide world of sports.

And I certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipate that it would pop up during conference expansion talk. But alas, it has.

Those of you with teenage daughters know that at their age, matters of the heart are required, by law, to be accompanied by drama.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall such drama when I was a teenager. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because times have changed since then. But to be honest, deep down inside I know the real reason is because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a boy.

For boys, teenage love is like a car wash â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they go through it, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really pay attention to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on around them. I guess for that matter, teenage boys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really pay attention to anything going on around them.

But anyway, thanks to what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned in the short time since Insiderette hit the teens, this whole Texas A&M-Southeastern Conference flirtation thing makes sense. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like a teenage love drama.

Allow me to explain.

A&M has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;going withâ&#x20AC;? the Big 12 for a long time. They go back together as far as anyone can remember.

Not too long ago, Big 12 had some personal issues come up. If A&M had been looking for a way out of its relationship with Big 12, that would have been a good time to get out.

Everyone who knew about Big 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal issues would have understood. In fact, some of A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and even family members â&#x20AC;&#x201D; suggested to A&M that it should move on. After all, SEC was available, and she certainly is attractive.

But A&M stayed with Big 12, saying he wanted to remain loyal to her and help her through the issues. Even those who would have preferred that A&M move on had to admire A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stance.

Something unexpected happened, though.

Big 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issues got resolved, but after a short while some of those resolutions didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be working out as expected.

See, in addition to A&M, a longtime friend named Texas had been helping Big 12, and Big 12 now appeared to be looking in Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; direction more than previously.

A&M was understandably hurt.

To make matters worse, Texas was the quarterback on the football team. A&M had been the wide receiver on a powerrunning team, so it did more blocking than pass-catching.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like A&M was a lineman, though. A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name did make the box scores, but it usually was for something like two catches for 14 yards. As QB1, Texas, of course, had its names in all the stories and most of the headlines.

But A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father brought in a personal coach who made A&M bigger, stronger and faster. That resulted in A&M getting moved to running back.

I forgot to mention that Texas was the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son. So he seemed to get preferential treatment. There even was the perception that Texas was telling the coach, his daddy, what plays to call.

Just as it appeared that A&M was going to get more attention with its new position on the team, Texas got a brand new pickup.

It was a sweet one, too, and A&M knew that with the new pickup, Texas would be able to go out with any girl in the school that he wanted.

All of a sudden, A&M started secondguessing its decision not to flirt with SEC. So, while still officially â&#x20AC;&#x153;going withâ&#x20AC;?

Big 12, A&M started passing notes in class to SEC and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care who noticed. In fact, A&M seemed to want the others to notice.

So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at. Even though we think we know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen next, as the father of a teenage daughter, let me assure you that even if everything goes exactly as expected, there will be unexpected drama.

BEIJING â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A wild brawl broke out between Georgetown and a Chinese menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team Thursday night, putting an immediate end to a supposed goodwill game that coincided with U.S. Vice President Joe Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit to the country.

The benches cleared and fights erupted all over the court with about 91â &#x201E;2 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The rest of the exhibition between Georgetown and the Bayi Rockets was called off.

Biden did not attend the game. Wednesday, he watched the Hoyas beat the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons 98-81.

The Washington Post reported Georgetown and Bayi players tackled and threw punches at each another. Chairs and water bottles were tossed as the Hoyas headed to the locker room with the score 64-all in a testy, foul-plagued matchup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight, two great teams played a very competitive game that unfortunately ended after heated exchanges with both teams,â&#x20AC;?

Georgetown coach John Thompson III said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We sincerely regret that this situation occurred.â&#x20AC;?

Georgetown and the Rockets are scheduled to play again Sunday night in Shanghai.

The melee was the latest instance of oncourt fighting by China, whose players have been fined tens of thousands of dollars by the world and Asian federations for scrapping with opponents.

Georgetown is in China on a 10-day trip which has been cited by the U.S. State Department as an example of sports diplomacy that strengthens ties between the two countries. The Hoyas were briefed by the State Department ahead of their departure on what to expect during its trip to Beijing and Shanghai, according to news releases on the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

Francoeur gets extension KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jeff Francoeur signed with the Kansas City Royals in the offseason hoping for a chance to prove that he could be an everyday player. He agreed to a contract extension Thursday because he succeeded.

The Royals announced the two-year extension shortly before opening a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox. It should keep the 27-year-old right fielder with the club through the 2013 season, when those within the organization expect the youngest roster in the majors to be competing for championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have enough pieces in place, and hopefully guys to come, that hopefully this will turn around quick.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a division where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to win 95, 96 games a year,â&#x20AC;?

Francoeur said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a good division to hopefully finish this season strong and play well next season. And for me, I want to be a part of that, I do. I want to be part of when this thing turns around and Kansas city starts winning again. I want to say I was here.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been awhile since someone said that in baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backwaters.

Kansas City hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished better than third in its division since 1995, and that includes a stretch of three consecutive seasons from 2004-06 in which the franchise lost 100 games. But with the arrival of general manager Dayton Moore, the Royals began to restock the farm system and add some key free agents.

Francoeur was someone Moore had been targeting.

After bouncing through the New York Mets and Texas Rangers, Francoeur was eager to sign with a team that would allow him to play every day. Moore didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any promises other than to give him a chance, and that proved to be enough. Francoeur is hitting .277 with 15 homers, 66 RBIs and a career-high 19 stolen bases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a great job of coming in here and proving he can still be a productive, everyday player, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to see that,â&#x20AC;?

Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Jacobs suspended for HGH DENVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Jacobs is the first player suspended by Major League Baseball for a positive HGH test under the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minorleague drug-testing procedures.

The 30-year-old minor-league first baseman, who was in the big leagues from 200510, received a 50-game suspension Thursday for taking the banned performance-enhancing substance and was subsequently released by

Pryor in NFL draft, but â&#x20AC;Ś Terrelle Pryor will have an opportunity to pursue his NFL dreams, with one significant caveat: The former Ohio State star must still pay for breaking NCAA rules while he was in college.

The league announced Thursday that Pryor is eligible for its supplemental draft, but he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be allowed to practice for the team that selects him until Week 6. Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes following an investigation into the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorabilia-forcash scandal.

He wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to sit out five games had he chosen to return to Ohio State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We accept that voluntarily,â&#x20AC;? Pryorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told the Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small price to pay for him to have a chance to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL.â&#x20AC;?

The league informed clubs that Pryor â&#x20AC;&#x153;made decisions that undermine the integrity of the eligibility rules for the NFL draft.â&#x20AC;?

Among those actions, the league said, were the hiring of an agent in violation of NCAA rules and a failure to cooperate with the investigation that cost Ohio State coach Jim Tressel his job. The NCAA committee on infractions is working to determine the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final penalties.

League spokesman Greg Aiello tweeted you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break the rules as Pryor did â&#x20AC;&#x153;and get a free pass into the NFL.â&#x20AC;?

Players sue over concussions PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Six former players and one current player have sued the NFL in Philadelphia over the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling of concussion-related injuries, the first potential class-action lawsuit of its kind.

The players accuse the league of training players to hit with their heads, failing to properly treat them for concussions and trying to conceal for decades any links between football and brain injuries.

The plaintiffs include two-time Super Bowl champion Jim McMahon, who has said he played through five concussions but now frequently walks around â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a dazeâ&#x20AC;? and forgets why he entered a room.

The suit accuses the NFL of negligence and intentional misconduct in its response to the headaches, dizziness and dementia that former players have reported. The suit, filed Wednesday, seeks medical monitoring along with funds to pay for the care of injured players.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league had not yet seen the lawsuit but would vigorously contest any such claims.

The other plaintiffs include Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas, 26; Ray Easterling, 61, a defensive back for the Atlanta Falcons in the 1970s; and Wayne Radloff, 50, an offensive lineman for the Falcons and San Francisco 49ers in the late 1980s.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Dorsey’s injury opens door at defensive tackle

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With injuries to Kansas University’s defensive line being one of the big stories from the first couple of weeks of fall camp, one piece of good news came from senior Patrick Dorsey and red-shirt freshman Pat Lewandowski being sidelined.

KU’s ability to shift senior Michael Martinovich and sophomore Randall Dent from the offensive line over to D-line not only gives the Jayhawks much-needed depth on defense, but also says something about KU’s five freshmen offensive linemen and how they’ve progressed during their first camp.

“We saw our freshmen offensive linemen on film, and when they’re all together (offensive line) coach (J.B.) Grimes said, ‘Man, we have a big freshman offensive line.

And they’re only freshmen,’” offensive coordinator Chuck

athletic director for communications, said nothing was in the works and that finances, broadcasting rights and a host of other details would factor in should KU ever become involved.

“At this point, it could be anybody,” Marchiony said.

“It could be any of their home games.

“The other schools involved in this are a long way from knowing what the deal is.”

Long said after Thursday’s practice.

Long said the goal this summer was to get a few of those true freshmen onto the team’s two-deep depth chart.

“Now, because of some injury situations over on defense, we’ve managed to do that,” he said. “We’re full steam ahead with that goal.”

Of the five, Blue Valley West graduate Dylan Admire, who enrolled in January and participated in spring drills, has made the biggest strides.

“Oh, definitely,” Long said. “Dylan’s gonna be a really good football player. And he’s ahead because he’s been here longer.”

Admire, 6-foot-3, 283 pounds, currently sits behind senior Jeremiah Hatch at center on KU’s depth chart.

As for the rest of the crew, Travis Bodenstein (6-5, 295), Luke Luhrsen (6-5, 290), Damon Martin (6-5, 265) and Bryan Peters (6-5, 305) all have played well enough for

O-line’s best battle With the 10 offensive-line spots starting to take shape, Long was asked which position had the best competition. Without hesitating, he pointed to left tackle, where junior Jeff Spikes and thirdyear sophomore Riley Spencer are battling hard every day. Interestingly enough, Spencer and Spikes are featured on the same page — 77 — of KU’s media guide this year. Their competition on the field seems to be as close

Intensity on the rise Up to this point, the offseason work put in by the Kansas University football team has focused on players getting bigger, stronger and faster.

But as the days of fall camp tick away and the Jayhawks’ season opener against McNeese State — 6 p.m., Sept.

3 at Memorial Stadium — creeps closer, a handful of players shared their view on how the excitement in camp has reached a new level.

“You can tell that our team has a little edge and the season’s getting close,” said junior wide receiver Kale Pick.

“We’re all aware that it’s about that time.”

With the new vibe comes an increase in intensity. Players lock in longer during drills and in scrimmages and the clowning around, which is encouraged under the “E, Enjoy the college football experience” part of the team’s BELIEVE mantra, dwindles.

What’s more, in the coming days, the coaching staff will begin to install its gameplan for the first game.

“It doesn’t feel like it’s right around the corner, but we know it’s right around the corner,” sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said.

“We’re just trying to stay hungry because we know what our goals are. Once we

Long and the coaching staff to feel good about the prospects of sticking them onto the field during a game.

“We’re getting past that,” said Long of the reservations of playing true freshmen on the O-Line. “We still need some camp time for that to develop, but a lot of these guys came here on their own in the summer. That’s a plus.

as their mug shots are on the page.

“Coach Grimes created some competition between Jeff Spikes and Riley Spencer, and it’s made Jeff Spikes so much better this camp,” Long said. “It really has. That’s probably the one (battle) that sticks out on the offensive line, and Jeff has done great this camp because of that.

They push each other. And that’s been a good thing.”

Spikes missed all of last season because of a torn Achilles’ tendon, and Spencer, because of a lack of depth, was forced to play around 100 snaps despite dealing with a shoulder injury that required surgery in the offseason.

get into that game week, it’s gonna really hit us that it’s time to go.”

With just 16 days remaining until kickoff, the Jayhawks, who still have competitions going at several positions, have just a handful of practices and a scrimmage or two to get the final product whipped into shape.

Rah Rah Weekend This weekend will provide fans of KU football a couple of different chances to meet the Jayhawks up close and personal. The first comes tonight, at Corinth Square in Prairie Village, where KU coach Turner Gill will

camp. But if the last two days are any indication of where he’s at, Bourbon may be turning the corner.

“He ran well today,” Long said of Bourbon. “The last two days he’s been doing really well so he’s working and fighting through that and that’s part of maturity.

When you’re a running back at this level, you’re gonna get banged up. That’s a given.

So how you work through that is key. But the last two days Brandon has shown up.

Probably his best two days of camp.”

Forget me not Speaking of running backs, much has been made about the group of young and talented backs that KU will take into the 2011 season. And while watching guys such as Darrian Miller, Tony Pierson and James Sims rip up the field has been a delight, Long cautioned against overlooking veteran running backs Rell Lewis, a senior from

Muskogee, Okla., and Deshaun Sands, a sophomore from Pompano Beach, Fla. Lewis missed all of last season with a knee injury and Sands was used only sparingly during 2010, rushing for 211 yards and one touchdown on 55 carries.

“Don’t count those guys out now,” Long said. “Rell is someone who’s very experienced and he’s shown great maturity from when we got here until now. I just believe that at that position you need as many as you can get. And, right now, we’re working with all of them.”

As for those other backs, Long said Sims, last year’s leading rusher as a true freshman, was the one who had shown the most consistency in all aspects of the position.

“We feel that James does pretty well at all of it right now,” Long said. “He not only runs well but he pass protects pretty well. The rest of them, we’re working that out to see who the best ones are.”

Thompson fires 64 Royals edged, 4-3, Robinson at Nationwide event by Beckett, BoSox

J-W Staff Reports

The hot summer for former Kansas University golfers continued Thursday when Chris Thompson fired an opening-round 7-under par 64 in the Midwest Classic at LionsGate in Overland Park.

Thompson, 35 and a resident of Lawrence, shot 33 on the front, 31 on the back, and did not card worse than a par all day. He went as many as three consecutive holes without a birdie just once. Dating back to Saturday’s final round of a mini-tour event he won in Arkansas, Thompson’s last three scores on three different courses have been 62, 65, 64.

Thompson isn’t having nearly as lucrative a summer as fellow former Jayhawk Gary Woodland, who ranks 13th on the PGA Tour money list with $2,840,349,

and you get a win,” Patterson said. “I do put a lot of pressure on myself, good pressure, like, ‘OK my team needs me to do this.’’’

He thinks KU can show considerable improvement in year two of the Turner Gill era.

The Jayhawks finished 3-9 last season.

“I believe we have all the pieces to have a really big year and accomplish the goals we’ve set for ourselves,” Patterson said, noting he wants to go out as a member of a

but he has collected higher purses than any other year as a professional. He has earned about $70,000 playing minitour events. This is his second Nationwide Tour event of the summer, the first coming two weeks ago. The Nationwide is the second-most prestigious tour in the country, ranking behind only the PGA Tour.

Thompson enters today’s second round with Will Dodson, one of his two playing partners for the first two rounds, a stroke behind four golfers tied for first. J.J. Killeen, one of the four leaders, ranks second on the Nationwide Tour in earnings and first in putts-per-greensin-regulation.

bowl team. “As long as we go out there and work hard, we’ll be fine.”

It’s his last shot on campus this fall.

“It feels like you’ve been here a long time. It also feels like you just got here and can remember that first day you stepped on campus,” Patterson said. “Now you are ready to leave campus in less than a year. It’s been a really good time. I was here with Mangino (Mark, former coach). I’m here with Gill. I enjoyed my time with both head coaches.

I am ready to have a good time in my senior year.”

BOX SCORE

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — From the moment Josh Beckett stepped on the mound Thursday night, something didn’t feel quite right. It wasn’t something mechanical in his delivery, though, nor was it something physical.

Turns out it was the mound itself.

The one in the bullpen at Kauffman Stadium is far steeper than the actual mound on the field, Beckett said, so it took him a while to get comfortable. He finally did and lasted seven innings, leading the Boston Red Sox to a much-needed 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

“I had to make sure I stayed on the rubber, you know?”

Beckett said. “I don’t know if I’ve ever thrown somewhere where they have as drastically different bullpen from the mound.”

Beckett (10-5) allowed all three runs over the first three innings, on a two-run homer

by Alex Gordon and a sacrifice fly by Billy Butler. But he was efficient and effective after that, allowing seven hits while improving to 7-1 in his career against the Royals.

The only loss was July 28 in Boston.

“He left a breaking ball up to Gordon, but I mean they got a good lineup. They got a good offensive lineup.

They’re aggressive,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “He got us through seven with the lead.”

Dustin Pedroia drove in three runs with a pair of welltimed singles, and Jason Varitek drove in the other run

for the Red Sox, who had lost five of their last seven games after getting shut out by the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. It was an important win to keep pace with the New York Yankees in the AL East.

Daniel Bard worked the eighth for Boston, and Jonathan Papelbon made it through a perfect ninth to extend his career-best streak to 24 consecutive saves. It was his 29th of the season.

“Their lineup is dangerous,” Francona said. “You make a mistake and they can hurt you.”

The team is happy to have him.

“He is a very good defender and can score,” coach Pascal Donnadieu said on the JSF Nanterre team website.

“He can change the positions 1 and 2 (point and shooting guard) no difference. I expect him to be a leader as he has always on his previous teams.”

Robinson plans on being a true floor leader as his team makes the jump from France’s B League to A Division.

“They’ve got a lot to prove.

It’s a young team,” he said. “I can go in and run a team and do what I have to do.”

“I’ve talked to Russell a lot about Kansas,” said Lewis, who will attend the Oct. 14 Late Night in the Phog on an unofficial visit. “I’ve known Russell for a long time. I first met Russell back when he played for the New York Gauchos, and I’d go watch him play when I was a little younger and I wasn’t playing AAU yet. He’s really been like a big brother to me.”

Lewis, who is ranked No. 43 in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com, has received scholarship offers from KU, Arizona, Arkansas, Baylor, Connecticut, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Oregon State, Seton Hall, St. John’s, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

BRIEFLY Dixon takes fourth KU women don’t in University Games play final contest SHENZHEN, CHINA — Kansas University sophomore Diamond Dixon placed fourth in the finals of the women’s 400-meter dash Thursday night at the World University Games.

Dixon crossed the finish line in 52.76, topping both her quarterfinal and semifinal times set earlier this week.

Dixon missed the medal stand by just .4 seconds.

KU’s Mason Finley will compete in the discus today.

COMO, ITALY — Due to a scheduling conflict, the Kansas University women’s basketball team was unable to play the final contest of its European tour Thursday night.

The Jayhawks began the day with a boat tour of Lake Como and a stop in the town of Bellagio. The Jayhawks were on a nine-day trip to Italy.

KU will make the 15-plus hour trip back to Lawrence starting this morning.

bathia stopped his two-start losing streak with nine strikeouts over seven innings, and New York hit three home runs to support him in a victory over depleted Minnesota on Thursday night.

The Yankees lead the majors with 163 homers this season, despite only 13 from Alex Rodriguez, who has been out following knee surgery last month. Mark Teixeira hit his 33rd, a two-run shot in the third, and Nick Swisher and Andruw Jones hit back-toback deep balls in the fifth inning against Brian Duensing (8-12).

Sabathia (17-7) gave up four runs — three earned — and walked only one.

Duensing yielded 10 hits and six runs, finishing five innings.

innings, Kosuke Fukudome had a tiebreaking RBI triple and the Indians inched closer to the top of the AL Central with a victory over the White Sox. Matt LaPorta hit a two-run homer for Cleveland, which pulled within 11⁄2 games of idle Detroit for the division lead. The Tribe opens a three-game series at Detroit on Friday.

Paul Konerko homered for the White Sox, which lost starter Phil Humber on a scary play in the second inning.

Humber was struck in the face by Fukudome’s comebacker with one out in the second inning. He fell to the ground as the ball bounded back to catcher Flowers.

Humber stood up immediately after the play ended and appeared to be alert as the club’s medical staff checked on him, but was removed after a short delay.

Masterson (10-7) allowed two runs and seven hits, struck out two and walked three.

Angels 2, Rangers 1 ANAHEIM, CALIF. — Rookie Mark Trumbo hit a gameending two-run homer down the left-field line, and the Angels beat Texas to avoid a four-game sweep.

After Torii Hunter led off the ninth with a single, Trumbo hit his 23rd homer of the season off Mike Adams (1-2), snapping the Angels’ fivegame skid and ending Texas’ six-game winning streak with one dramatic swing.

Adams wasted seven scoreless innings by Colby Lewis, who yielded four hits and struck out seven while outpitching Angels ace Jered Weaver.

Horacio Ramirez (1-0) got one out in the ninth for Los Angeles.

Minor pitches Braves past S.F. The Associated Press

UPCOMING American League

Friday, August 19, 2011

Braves 1, Giants 0 ATLANTA — Mike Minor pitched six crisp innings to outduel Tim Lincecum, and Chipper Jones homered for the only run as Atlanta defeated San Francisco Thursday night.

The Braves appeared to be at a distinct disadvantage with Minor, filling in with Tommy Hanson on the DL, going against the two-time NL Cy Young Award winner.

But Minor (3-2) pitched brilliantly, allowing just four hits and one intentional walk while striking out a seasonhigh nine.

Lincecum (11-10) was no slouch, surrendering five hits in seven innings with seven Ks. But the wiry right-hander made one big mistake, serving up a high fastball to Jones leading off the fifth. He sent a drive soaring into the rightfield seats for 11th homer.

Eric O’Flaherty, Jonny Venters and Craig Kimbrel closed out the five-hitter with one scoreless inning apiece. Kimbrel struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 37th save in 42 chances, breaking a tie with Todd Worrell for the most saves by an NL rookie since 1969.

Dodgers 5, Brewers 1 MILWAUKEE — Clayton Kershaw throttled the streaking Brewers with eight scoreless innings and Rod Barajas homered, leading the Dodgers to the victory.

The NL Central-leading Brewers came in winners of 19 of 21 and were looking to complete a 7-0 homestand.

But Kershaw (15-5) was tremendous, retiring 13 of his final 14 batters and never facing serious trouble after the third inning.

Barajas hit a solo homer in the second. Los Angeles built a 5-0 lead by scoring twice in the seventh and two more in the eighth, the first runs allowed by Milwaukee’s bullpen in the last 10 games.

Brewers starter Marco Estrada (3-8) allowed one run and three hits in five innings.

Nationals catcher Jesus Flores also had his first home run in more than two years.

Zimmermann (8-10) allowed six hits before leaving with runners on first and second and two outs in the sixth.

Ryan Mattheus came on to strike out Paul Janish to end the inning. Mattheus did not face another batter because of a tight right shoulder.

The Reds scored the unearned run in the seventh off Henry Rodriguez. Tyler Clippard worked the eighth and Drew Storen closed it out for his 33rd save in 37 chances.

Ryan Hanigan had four hits and Brandon Phillips finished with three for Cincinnati.

MIAMI’S FOOTBALL COACH AL GOLDEN, RIGHT, GESTURES to a player during football practice on Thursday in Coral Gables, Fla. At left is wide receiver Rashawn Scott. Golden said his team was in the process of recovering from the shock of scandalous allegations hitting the program this week, sparking talk from the NCAA for fundamental change in college sports.

Miami trying to move forward amid scandal

By Tim Reynolds Associated Press Sports Writer

CORAL GABLES, FLA. — Speaking out for the first time since Miami football players were accused of getting cash, gifts and prostitutes from an ex-booster, athletic director Shawn Eichorst vowed Thursday that “a better day” would be coming for the Hurricanes. Some players also ended their silence to say the team is hurting because of the allegations.

Those messages came as the attorney for Nevin Shapiro, a convicted Ponzi scheme architect, defended her client’s accusations that he bankrolled a wild lifestyle for Hurricane players.

In a statement, Eichorst said the subjects of the NCAA and university investigation have his unconditional support. He urged a skeptical fan base to remain patient with a process that went on quietly for five months, then burst into the public eye Tuesday when Shapiro’s claims were published by Yahoo Sports.

“There are tough times ahead, challenges to overcome and serious decisions to be made, but we will be left standing and we will be stronger as a result,” Eichorst wrote. “I understand there are unanswered questions, concerns and frustration by many but this athletic department will be defined now and in the future, by our core values, our integrity and our commitment to excellence, and by nothing else.”

Even Shapiro’s attorney, Maria Elena Perez — a University of Miami graduate who proudly displays her diploma in her office — said she agrees with Eichorst that the Hurricanes will be “left standing” when this process ends.

“I think there will be a football program after this,” Perez said. “If they shut down this football program, too many people will lose too much money.”

But Perez said the allegations were not made up and speculated more could be triggered by Shapiro’s story.

The attorney said Shapiro, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, is aware of the fallout from his claims made to Yahoo Sports.

“I believe inevitably there will be more,” Perez said.

“Whether that comes from Nevin or from outside sources who have additional information about this, I can’t tell you. But I believe that there will be more.”

The Hurricanes went through two practices Thursday, and coach Al Golden said he’s hoping their focus is on football and nothing else.

The team will hold its second scrimmage of training camp early next week, after which the depth chart and 60-person travel roster for the Sept.

5 season-opener at Maryland will essentially be set.

The NCAA investigation, though no one knows when it will end, is likely going to stretch for several more weeks, at least.

“If anything, it’s going to bring us closer together,” Golden said. “Again, 90 percent of the guys have nothing to do with this as it happened in the past. For the most part, inside here, we’re moving forward.”

Though Golden said his team decided on its own to limit usage of social media like Facebook and Twitter during training camp, some Miami players felt Thursday was the right time to speak out. Defensive back Brandon McGee tweeted before the morning practice, “Know this for sure everyone hurts!

We all feel pain!” Between sessions, running back Mike James wrote “You have to appreciate the process and accept the struggle.”

In Lubbock, Texas, former Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt, who now holds the same job at Texas Tech, called the situation involving the Hurricanes “sad” and “unfortunate.”

Hocutt said he has not been approached by NCAA investigators.

“If young people made mistakes, that’s unfortunate,” Hocutt said. He added that in

his time at Miami, the school was very aggressive when it came to educating players about the pitfalls that could come from interacting with third parties.

“It was a rogue booster and someone who was determined to go around the system,” Hocutt said.

The Hurricanes are trying to get back to business-asusual, but it’s a difficult task given the uncertainty around this season, the eligibility of a dozen players named in the Yahoo Sports report, and the potential repercussions the team may face once the NCAA investigation is completed.

Two of the current players implicated in the Shapiro scandal — quarterback Jacory Harris and defensive back JoJo Nicholas — were not in uniform Thursday morning, for reasons that school officials said didn’t involve the investigation. Harris was on the field in shorts and a Tshirt, whistle dangling from his neck, serving as a player coach for the morning.

Golden has used several players in that role in recent days.

Nicholas was tending to a family matter and was excused. Harris was in uniform for the afternoon practice, which was closed to reporters.

“These are not times for pity and reflection,” Eichorst said. “All of my efforts and energy are committed to ensuring the integrity of the NCAA investigation, demanding the full cooperation of our employees and student-athletes and providing unwavering support to our more than 400 plus studentathletes and more than 150 coaches and staff.”

Shapiro is in the process of being transferred from federal custody in Atlanta and could end up in prison in South Florida, though his attorney said she’s still unaware where exactly he’s going and when he’ll get there.

As part of his sentence, Shapiro has been ordered to pay nearly $83 million in restitution, and he plans to write a book to help raise those funds.

KANSAS CITY RUNNING BACK LE’RON MCCLAIN (44) TALKS with cornerback Javier Arenas in this Aug. 4 file photo during training camp in St. Joseph, Mo. McClain will take on his former team in preseason action tonight, when the Chiefs take on the Ravens in Baltimore.

Ex-Ravens head home as members of Chiefs

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Le’Ron McClain remembers the first practice of his rookie year with the Baltimore Ravens.

The big fullback pulled in a pass, turned up field and ran smack into All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis.

There’s a good chance he’ll run into him again awfully soon.

McClain joined the Chiefs in the offseason after four mostly successful years in Baltimore, joining a wave of ex-Ravens on the team they helped knock out of last season’s playoffs.

Quarterbacks guru Jim Zorn, defensive tackle Kelly Gregg and offensive tackle Jared Gaither are here, too.

They’re all returning to Baltimore for a preseason game tonight.

“I’ve been with the Kansas City Chiefs for a few weeks now, you know?”

McClain said. “I’m a Chief now, so I’m going to go over there as a Chief, playing as a Chief. They know the physical ball that I’ve been playing these last four years, they know how I play, so I’m going to bring it when I’m in there.”

McClain, a former fourthround draft choice, ran for more than 900 yards two years ago, when he was named first-team All-Pro. But he watched his number of carries dwindle the past two years. He toted the ball only 28 times last season while serving primarily as a blocking back for Ray Rice.

Gregg played in at least 14 games each of the last eight seasons for Baltimore, a period during which the franchise fielded one of the best defenses in league history.

The Ravens decided to let him go in part because of his age — he’ll be 35 in November — and the Chiefs quickly snapped him up. They’re hopeful he still has at least one season left in the tank, and that he can help shore up an abysmal run defense.

K.C. SCHEDULE Sept. 11: vs. Buffalo Sept. 18: at Detroit Sept. 25: at San Diego Oct. 2: vs. Minnesota Oct. 9: at Indianapolis Oct. 16: Bye Oct. 23: at Oakland Oct. 31: vs. San Diego Nov. 6: vs. Miami Nov. 13: vs. Denver Nov. 21: at New England Nov. 27: vs. Pittsburgh Dec. 4: at Chicago Dec. 11: at New York Jets Dec. 18: vs. Green Bay Dec. 24: vs. Oakland Jan. 1: at Denver Gaither started 15 games at left tackle in 2008, and 11 games the following year, but he missed all of last season because of injury.

Zorn, meanwhile, was fired in January despite helping Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco achieve a careerbest 25 touchdown passes with a career-low 10 interceptions.

“I think it is a compliment to those guys and to the organization,” said Ravens coach John Harbaugh, who wouldn’t have minded at a least a couple of them staying in Baltimore. “Those guys are all good players. They’ve all proven themselves, and they’ve been contributors here, and it’ll be fun going up against those guys.”

Gregg acknowledged that tonight’s preseason game will be strange for all the exRavens, but he also believes the Chiefs have come together during training camp, and that might take some of the edge off.

“We’re just worrying about the Chiefs,” he said. “We’re not worried about anybody else.”

That included the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who embarrassed the Chiefs in a 25-0 rout last Friday night. Kansas City hardly created a game plan for the preseason opener, and K.C. is taking a similar approach to Baltimore. The

Ravens are coming off a 13-6 loss to Philadelphia.

“I think the Tampa Bay game, from a score standpoint, you can say it didn’t go well, and that’s the name of our game, but we feel we made real good progress through that first game and we feel like we’re making progress this week,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said. “A lot of coaching and teaching that goes on — like last week, how we come out of the locker room, we kind of had to educate everyone. Now it’s what to wear on the plane, how to get on the plane, how we act in the hotel. ... It’s another day that’s going to be just as critical.”

Haley has stuck to a master plan throughout camp, slowly trying to get his players up to speed after the lockout wiped away much of the offseason. Much of the work has centered on conditioning and learning the playbook, and the result is an appearance that Kansas City is far behind the rest of the league.

Haley wouldn’t say how long his starters will play tonight, though it figures to be more than the eight or so plays they were in against Tampa Bay. Meanwhile, the Ravens’ starting group plans to play well into the second quarter because, Harbaugh acknowledged, “we need to get ready to play.”

“We’re going to be playing a regular season game very soon,” he said.

While the Chiefs are focused mainly on themselves, Harbaugh is taking a different approach. He views the preseason as a dress rehearsal for the regular season, so the Ravens have looked at film of Kansas City and will put together a game plan just like they would for a game that counts.

“They obviously won their division last year. We played them in the playoffs, they’re a heck of a team, and they’ve only gotten better in the offseason,” Harbaugh said.

This study may help you and your family handle allergy season a bit more easily.

We’re enrolling volunteers into a clinical research study for an investigational drug. This investigational drug may help prevent the body’s reaction to grass pollen rather than to just treat the allergy symptoms. What’s more, this once-a-day tablet is designed to be placed under the tongue. Study participation includes study-related care and study medications at no cost. Find out today if you (or your child) is eligible to participate and learn about the risks and benefits associated with participation in this study.

Enrolling now through Feb. 2012 for the 2012 season.

To learn more about this clinical study, call (785) 368-0742.

Congratulations! I’ve always liked George, and I know you will be very happy.” If possible, send a gift, as well. You cannot force your daughter to be closer, and confronting her about this announcement will not produce a good result.

Dear Omaha: Lizzie is guilty of a breach of etiquette. She is rude. One does not correct other adults in public, ever, nor should she be lecturing her friends about their behavior unless they are spitting across the table (although texting comes close). She may mean well, but she is making herself obnoxious and unwelcome.

Dear Annie: Last night, I visited my daughter’s Facebook page and saw that she had enjoyed a lovely anniversary. Going a little further, I Googled her name and found an article about her in connection to an award she had won.

In the article, it mentioned that she had a husband and a stepchild. This all came as a surprise to me, as I had no idea she had won an award or married the man she was living with. I like the guy, and I’m happy for her, but why didn’t she tell me she has apparently been married for a year?

We talk every six weeks or so, and I let her initiate the call because I know she has a specific time allotted for me.

She hasn’t spent a holiday with our family in years. Instead, she spends a lot of time with her mate’s family.

How do I handle this new information? Do I flat-out tell her what I discovered? (She friended me on Facebook, so seeing the announcement is not an issue.) Do I wait for her to tell me? She has not mentioned her marriage to her siblings, either. I don’t want to jeopardize the relationship we have. She is supersensitive and always defensive.

I usually let her call the shots, but this time, it’s almost more than I can bear. — A Bewildered Mother

Huge fish spurs call to ‘re-reverse’ river West Texas town

teeters on drying up in drought

By Tammy Webber Associated Press Writer

CHICAGO — The city was in a predicament. By the late 1800s, the slow-moving Chicago River had become a cesspool of sewage and factory pollution oozing into Lake Michigan, the source of drinking water for the bustling metropolis.

The waterway had grown so putrid that it raised fears of a disease outbreak and concerns about hurting development. So in a first-of-its-kind feat, engineers reversed the river by digging a series of canals that not only carried the stinking mess away from the lake, but also created the only shipping route between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River.

Now a modern threat — a voracious fish that biologists are desperate to keep out of Lake Michigan — has spurred serious talk of undertaking another engineering feat almost as bold as the original: reversing the river again to restore its flow into the lake.

The Army Corps of Engineers is studying ways to stop invasive species from moving between two of the nation’s largest watersheds, including a proposal to block the canals and undo the engineering marvel that helped define Chicago.

After the first reversal, the city at the edge of the prairie blossomed and today is known for stunning skyscrapers, a sparkling lakefront and a river dyed green every St. Patrick’s Day in the heart of Chicago’s downtown Loop.

The idea to reverse the river again got little traction when environmentalists suggested it a few years ago. But that was before Asian carp swam to within 25 miles of Lake Michigan, where they are being held at bay with electric barriers that deliver a nonlethal jolt. And it was before a study that showed dozens of other species were poised to move between the basins.

Adding to the urgency is the discovery last month of more carp DNA, though no actual carp, in waterways just six miles from Chicago, which could indicate that some slipped through the barriers. One live carp was found past the barrier last summer, but officials weren’t sure how it got there.

The fish are rapacious eaters that can grow to 4 feet and 100 pounds, and they have been migrating up the Mississippi and its tributaries for decades. Scientists say they could decimate the Great Lakes’ $7 billion-a-year fishing industry and unravel the food web by starving out native species.

But carp are not the only

WORK TAKES PLACE IN THIS UNDATED PHOTO on the building of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

The Army Corps of Engineers is studying whether to separate the Great Lakes and Mississippi watersheds, which could include returning the Chicago River’s original flow in an attempt to stop Asian carp and other invasive species from traveling through the two basins. The flow of the river into the lake was reversed in the late 1800s to prevent pollution from reaching Lake Michigan. BELOW: Asian bighead carp swim Jan. 12 in an exhibit at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium.

threat. A corps report issued this summer identified eight other species that could enter the lakes.

What’s more, the agency concluded, the lake isn’t the only body of water in danger.

The risk to the Mississippi basin is even greater because the canals offer a potential highway for about 30 species to invade the river and its tributaries from the Great Lakes.

“That was one of those ‘Aha!’ moments,” said David Wethington, who’s managing the corps study. “You hear a lot about Asian carp and the potential devastation (to the Great Lakes), but what if things go the other way?”

The idea of separating the two watersheds, which have no natural links, has gained support from powerful lawmakers, surrounding states and scientists who believe

it’s the only way to avoid irreversible ecological and economic harm.

“If we don’t, a century from now, our children and grandchildren will have lakes full of invasive species ... and we will be sacrificing two of the greatest freshwater ecosystems of the United States to invasion and lost economic opportunity,” said Joel Brammeier, president of the environmental advocacy group Alliance for the Great Lakes.

But the corps isn’t ready to say whether reversing the Chicago River again is the solution.

Its recommendation may have to wait another four years.

To reverse the river, engineers would barricade the canals that have been used for more than a century to send the river flowing to the west.

With those channels closed, the river would resume its previous

course toward Lake Michigan because the river would again be higher than the lake.

And that might be the easiest part.

Industries that use the waterways to move everything from grain and road salt to coal and chemicals oppose the idea. They complain they stand to lose billions a year if they have to rely on more expensive trains and trucks.

“I don’t want the Asian carp in the Great Lakes any more than anyone else does, but (separating the watersheds) destroys the economics of moving by barge,” said Mark Biel, executive director of the Chemical Industry Council of Illinois and chairman of Unlock Our Jobs, an industry coalition that opposes the idea.

Perhaps a bigger obstacle is Chicago’s sewer system, which collects rainfall in a big part of the metro area and then discharges it toward the Mississippi. Despite billions spent on an extensive underground tunnel network, the system still cannot contain enough storm water and sewage during heavy rainstorms, forcing authorities to open shipping locks and dump the runoff into Lake Michigan to spare basements.

Reversing the river would push even more water toward downtown and the lake, possibly requiring the city to spend billions more than planned on reservoirs and pipes to hold back the flow and prevent massive flooding.

Some groups may want debt gridlock

By Alan Fram Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Gridlock, as much as it’s derided, may be the best outcome for the elderly, health care providers and poor people in this fall’s fight over further deficit cuts.

A new congressional supercommittee, split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, has until Thanksgiving to propose a gargantuan $1.5 trillion in budget savings over 10 years. Every federal program and tax is a potential bull’s-eye for the panel.

If it doesn’t produce such a package, or Congress doesn’t pass its plan by Christmas, up to $1.2 trillion in spending cuts would be automatically unleashed on hundreds of programs. It’s meant to be a scary prospect, but it doesn’t threaten everyone.

Some programs have been exempted from the automatic cuts: Social Security, the Medicaid health program for the poor, Medicare health benefits for the elderly, veterans’ pensions and many programs for people with low incomes.

Now lobbyists are calculating whether programs they fight for would fare better under an unpredictable package from the supercommittee or in the round of automatic cuts that would be triggered if its mission fails.

“That’s a question a lot of people are asking,” said Da-

“

It’s sort of like that old show, ‘Let’s Make a Deal.’ Door No. 2 we know is really bad. Door No. 1, when I open it, am I going to get shot?”

—Joel Packer, executive director of the Committee for Education Funding vid Certner, legislative policy director for AARP, the country’s largest senior citizens’ organization.

The uncertainty is one of the new wrinkles for lobbyists and their clients in the deal that resolved this summer’s debt ceiling battle between President Barack Obama and Congress. The two sides ended up agreeing to extend the government’s borrowing authority and start trimming its ever-growing $14 trillion pile of I.O.U.’s.

Lobbyists also must gauge how to get their voices heard above the din as virtually every interest group in Washington tries influencing the supercommittee’s dozen members. They have only a brief time to make their case.

Buffeting the effort is a wide variety of forces: a limp economy, ping-ponging financial markets and building pressure to ease unemployment.

In addition, the start of 2012 presidential and congressional election campaigns will

encourage the two parties to highlight their differences.

“It’s daunting to think about how you make a difference in this new environment in this very compressed amount of time,” said Bob Bendick, chief lobbyist for The Nature Conservancy, a conservation group.

Military and civil servants’ pay, child nutrition, public housing rental assistance and some transportation aid are among the other programs protected from the automatic cuts. But many interest groups have some programs exempted from the automatic cuts and others that are not, leaving them uncertain whether they might fare better from a bill the supercommittee could produce.

“It’s sort of like that old show, ‘Let’s Make a Deal,’” said Joel Packer, executive director of the Committee for Education Funding, which represents over 80 education groups. “Door No. 2 we know is really bad. Door No. 1, when I open it, am I going to get shot?”

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities illustrate the unpredictable budgetcutting terrain ahead.

Their trade group, the American Health Care Association, says over 60 percent of its members’ revenues — $45 billion last year — came from Medicaid, which would be fully exempted from automatic cuts if the supercommittee fails to agree on a sav-

ings plan. But the trade group says its members would be hurt by another aspect of the automatic slashes — a 2 percent cut in Medicare payments to nursing homes and other health care providers.

For an industry that claims harm from other recent reductions in Medicare and state Medicaid spending, that Medicare cut would cost each nursing home an average $50,000 a year, the equivalent of two direct-care workers, the association says. It wants the supercommittee to ease that burden, and it already has nursing home officials contacting local members of Congress.

“It is possible that whatever comes out of the 12-person committee would be worse than in the sequester,” said former Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson, president and CEO of the nursing home group, using the technical term for the automatic cuts. “But we’re certainly going to work hard to make sure that isn’t the case.”

The American Hospital Association has similar concerns.

Rick Pollack, the group’s executive vice president, says hospitals on average get nearly half their income from Medicare and Medicaid combined.

The hospital association wants the supercommittee to look at curbing Medicare benefits, such as by gradually raising the program’s eligibility age, rather than focus strictly on cutting reimbursements to providers.

ROBERT LEE, TEXAS — Ranchers in pickup trucks here stop to ladle up puddles of street water after underground pipes crack, and wilting trees are quenched with dirty bathwater hauled from tubs to front yards. An April storm teased Robert Lee, but instead of rain, a lightning strike started a wildfire that chewed up 169,000 droughtstarved acres.

“We can’t catch a break,” said Eddie Ray Roberts, the city’s water superintendent.

The worst Texas drought since the 1950s has this ranching town of nearly 1,110 residents, and a handful of other cities, facing a prospect they’ve never encountered before: running out of water. One city outside Dallas, Kemp, already experienced a dress rehearsal this month when every faucet was shut off for two days to fix pipes bursting in the shifting and hardening soil.

Many lakes and reservoirs across the state are badly depleted after more than a month of 100-degree temperatures and less than 1 inch of rain. Robert Lee’s water supply lake is fast becoming a mud hole. The worstoff communities are already trying to run pipes to distant water lines, drilling emergency wells and banning water use for virtually anything beyond drinking, bathing and keeping businesses working.

“We’ve certainly seen a broader use of those plans over a larger portion of the state than we ever have before,” said Andrea Morrow, a spokeswoman for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Worst-case scenarios have a few towns running out of water in a matter of months.

Although Texas cities have gone bone-dry before — country star Billy Ray Cyrus sent a truck of bottled water to Throckmorton when the town tapped out in 2000 — the nearly 500 water systems statewide now under some mandatory restrictions appear unprecedented.

The prospect of no water is

a cruel irony for Robert Lee, which was proclaimed the county seat in 1891 because its water supply was so plentiful.

The town’s water source, Lake E.V. Spence, normally covers more than 22 sq. miles and made Robert Lee a popular boating getaway where reckless kids dived down from the tall, surrounding bluffs. Today, jumping would be a perilous fall onto a shoreline of rocks, and island-like sand dunes widen by the day.

The town’s desperate straits have extinguished any Texasfriendly, we’re-in-this-together spirit among neighboring cities: Robert Lee is pumping Lake Spence around the clock to move what little water is left into an exclusive reservoir, in what is practically a game of keep-away. Once the water is transferred, engineers expect the town to have enough through at least the spring.

Others aren’t so sure.

“They say they have enough water until March,” said Scott McWilliams, a hydrologist with the Upper Colorado River Authority. “I don’t necessarily see it.”

In October, the city hopes to break ground on a pipeline connecting to the water system in Bronte 12 miles away, giving Robert Lee a second water source. Yet the fix may only be a temporary balm: Roberts said the pipeline will supply 200,000 gallons daily.

Even under the severe restrictions now, Robert Lee is using 220,000 gallons.

Prized as Lake Spence’s dwindling supply is, the actual water is terrible. The lake is less than a half-percent full, making what’s left thick with saline and sunken dead matter, and almost too contaminated to be treated.

Beverly Hawkins, who manages the only florist shop in Robert Lee, turned on the sink in her store last week to fill a vase. She put her finger in the water and dabbed it on her tongue.

It tasted salty as seawater.

“It’s been worse. At least this time it’s clear,” Hawkins said. Like most people in Robert Lee, she brushes her teeth with bottled water.

Source: Aruba suspect sought insurance payout

By Ben Fox Associated Press Writer

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO — Investigators have been told that just two days after an American tourist was reported missing in Aruba, her travel companion tried to collect on a $1.5 million accidental-death insurance policy he took out on her, The Associated Press has learned.

A person who provided information to authorities told the AP that Gary V. Giordano, now detained on the Caribbean island, bought the insurance specifically for his five-day getaway with Robyn Gardner. The person did not have authorization to publicly release the information and agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity.

Aruban authorities have confirmed that Giordano had an insurance policy that covered the missing woman, but have not said who the beneficiary is, how much the policy is worth or whether Giordano tried to collect.

Giordano, a 50-year-old owner of a temporary staffing business from Gaithersburg, Md., traveled to Aruba with Gardner on July 31 and reported her missing two days later. He told police that she disappeared while the two were snorkeling.

He initially assisted the search but was detained at the airport Aug. 5 as he tried to leave Aruba. Authorities said they found discrepancies in his story. Giordano has denied any wrongdoing through his attorney.

A judge ruled Monday there is enough evidence to hold Giordano until at least the end of August on sus-

AP File Photo/Natalee Holloway Resource Center

THIS FILE PHOTO provided by the Natalee Holloway Resource Center shows Robyn Gardner, 35, of Frederick, Md. picion of involvement in Gardner’s presumed death.

The 35-year-old woman’s body has not been found and Aruban authorities on Thursday were preparing for a new, large-scale search of the island for her remains or other evidence.

Aruban authorities in general seem more guarded with information than they were during the investigation into the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway — a case that remains unsolved. Holloway disappeared on the final night of a high school graduation trip to the island.

Solicitor General Taco Stein, the spokesman for the investigation, has confirmed that Giordano had travel insurance, but said authorities are still reviewing financial documents provided by U.S. authorities and are trying to determine if they are relevant to the investigation.
