3 other cities to pay for SRS

Lucky Jayhawk charm lands at KU

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Three other cities have joined Lawrence in paying the state welfare agency to keep their local offices open, it was announced Thursday.

Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. said the effort shows that the administration was willing to negotiate.

“Unlike previous administra- Siedlecki tions, we were more than willing to meet with local governments to work out deals to keep SRS offices open,” Siedlecki said.

“They keep their local office and SRS meets its budget-cutting criteria. Everyone wins,” he said.

Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan had a different take on the issue.

“I suppose it is a case

Bronze bird expected to bode well

A new bronze Jayhawk statue found its perch Thursday just outside the Anderson Family Football Complex facing the south side of Memorial Stadium.

Athletics officials hope the Jayhawk will create new traditions — football players will rub it for luck before each home football game, similar to other statues in places like the University of Maryland.

The statue stands about 4 feet high and 4 feet wide, said D.W. Acker, a graphic designer for

Kansas Athletics, who helped design the statue in two dimensions before collaborating with bronze sculptor John Free, of Pawhuska, Okla., on the final product.

“We wanted it to look exactly like the Sandy Jayhawk,” said Chris Howard, a KU associate athletics director, referring to Hal Sandy’s famous Jayhawk logo design.

That was not as easy as it might seem, Acker said, standing nearby as crews installed the statue, which cost $48,000 to construct, paid for by Kansas Athletics Inc. “That was a real challenge, to take a flat image and make a 3-D image out of it,” he said.

Free said he made several trips to Lawrence from Oklahoma to consult with athletics officials.

Free, an Oklahoma State alumnus, wasn’t intimately familiar with the Jayhawk logo, so he worked closely with Acker to modify the design throughout the process.

Even though the logo is flipped occasionally, there’s a back side of the Jayhawk that’s never visible, Acker said. A wing, for example, is always covering part of the boot that’s on the ground, he said.

Acker said he enjoyed getting to use his imagination to envision what that might look like. Every feather, he said, has a reason for being placed where it is.

“Everybody in the world has seen the Jayhawk from this angle,” he said, looking at the statue in profile. “You’ve never seen the other side of that Jayhawk.”

Acker said he hoped that fans, players and all manner of Jayhawks would be able to enjoy the statue, which is situated so it’s easy to grab a photo with the Campanile or Fraser Hall in the background.

“I’m always glad to be a part of something that people are going to see and enjoy,” Free said.

Duty calls: School district to install restrooms at LHS, Free State ballfields

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Score this one an E-$300,000.

The Lawrence school district is bracing to spend an unexpected $300,000 to comply with building codes regarding installation of permanent seating for baseball at Free State and Lawrence high schools.

The district already is spending nearly $500,000 to install bleachers at the two stadiums and other athletics venues at the two schools, but district administrators had been unaware of the need to install permanent restrooms serving the fields.

That all changed in recent weeks, as the bleachers were being installed. Permanent seating triggers a need for permanent restrooms

within 500 feet, according to the city’s building code, and such facilities do not exist at either site.

So now district administrators are going back to their master plans, meeting with architects and contacting potential donors — all to put together construction plans for next summer. Until then, expect temporary, portable toilets to be on site for the spring season.

The district anticipates spending no more than $150,000 at each site, using money available for capital improvement projects such as replacing boilers, repairing roofs, resurfacing parking lots and the like throughout all district buildings and schools.

Adding restrooms at the fields isn’t on the district’s properties list, which envisions $10.8 million

“When we look at this, it’s completing the commitment that was made several years ago for the completion of these athletics complexes,” said Kyle Hayden, who started this past summer as the district’s chief operations officer.

“That means seeing it through, to meet the requirements that the city has. That’s just a responsibility that the administration and the board want to adhere to and, again, see the project through.”

Construction of the complexes started in 2008, with plans to spend $9 million for building on-campus football stadiums and making other

By 2010, the bills had increased to at least $15 million.

Donations helped cover some expenses at Free State, including expansion of a concessions building and other material upgrades at the stadium. At Lawrence High a donor group — LHS Building on Traditions — has been raising money to add ticket booths and make other upgrades, while the district has financed construction of new concessions stands.

Bleachers always were in the plans for baseball and soccer fields at both schools, plus softball at Free State.

The Lawrence school board approved those plans earlier this year.

But the plans did not include bathrooms for baseball at either school, something that became evident when city inspectors did the math and determined the permanent bleachers at the Lawrence High field were 600 feet from the district’s available restrooms, inside the Adult Learning Center, formerly Centennial School.

That’s too far, especially with fans looking for alternatives such as cutting through a fence to get into an adjacent shopping area that is home to Panera Bread, DonDon and Mr. Goodcents.

“As soon as they go to permanent seating, part of the requirement for permanent seating is to provide the plumbing fixtures. That’s to avoid people ducking over to neighboring businesses or whatever.”

Hayden said that the district likely would build permanent restrooms between the baseball field and tennis courts at Lawrence High, and between the baseball and softball fields at Free State.

Each building also likely will include a small concessions area, a ticket booth and storage space.

The district plans to defray its costs somewhat by using money offered by LHS Building on Traditions, which already planned to finance construction of a ticket booth for baseball at Lawrence High.

There’s also hope that the Lawrence Tennis Association or even the city of Lawrence might be able to contribute money, because the restrooms at Lawrence High also would be available for members of the public who use the tennis courts.

“We’re exploring all options to help with funding,” said Rick Doll, district superintendent.

No one injured in house fire

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Lawrence man was able to escape a fire Thursday afternoon that caused an estimated $175,000 in damage his northern Lawrence home.

Chief Mark Bradford of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical said no one was injured in the blaze and that firefighters rescued one dog from the house at 3121 Creek Wood Drive, west of Deerfield School.

The fire was reported just before 1 p.m., and crews had the blaze under control 20 minutes later.

Bradford said the occupant called 911 after he said a motorcycle outside that was leaning against the house caught fire. The fire then

spread through a soffit on the front the house and went directly into the attic.

“There was significant smoke because the total attic was fully involved in the fire,” he said.

A crew went inside to fight the blaze.

“With the volume of fire that we had, we pulled those firefighters out and ended up doing a direct exterior attack,” Bradford said.

Once water from a ladder truck extinguished most of the fire, the damage was evident. The roof and front of the house sustained significant structural damage.

Bradford said Thursday evening that fire investigators were unable to determine an official cause of the fire, although they think it

originated in the area near the motorcycle.

The fire is classified as accidental.

Jane Blocher, executive director of the Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross, said the chapter provided lodging plus food and clothing assistance to the three residents the fire displaced.

Bradford said one cat in the home was unaccounted for.

No firefighters were injured, although Bradford said the department called for an extra crew because of the 100-degree temperatures and the high humidity.

Lawrence official confident city will win Take Charge Challenge

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Lawrence and Douglas County Sustainability Coordinator Eileen Horn doesn’t use the word “if” when talking about Lawrence’s chances of winning the Take Charge Challenge.

She prefers “when.”

And she used the word often Thursday morning as she gave a tour of the facilities that would benefit if/ when Lawrence wins the competition.

September marks the last month of the 10-month competition that pits Lawrence against Manhattan to see which community can save the most energy. The winner, which is decided Sept. 30, receives $100,000 to spend on renewable energy or energy efficiency projects.

While it is never a good idea to count your chickens before they hatch, Horn wanted to showcase the potential projects with the hope it would inspire Lawrence residents to make changes in their energyconsuming habitats.

Lawrence City Commission has approved the prize money to fund three projects in different areas and departments of the city.

“We tried to pick projects that were really smart investments, but also really visible for the public,” Horn said.

Lawrence again in redistricting mix

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Ten years ago, the Legislature’s top redistricting officials came to Lawrence and were urged by local leaders to keep the city wholly in the 3rd Congressional District.

The legislators left, went to their maps and split the city in two, between the 2nd and 3rd districts.

Now the once-a-decade process returns to Lawrence.

The Special Committee on Redistricting will hold a public hearing from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. today at the Dole Institute of Politics at Kansas University, 2350 Petefish Drive.

The committee will then travel to Overland Park for a hearing from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Polsky Theater at Johnson County Community College, 12345 College Blvd.

After every 10-year census, the state Legislature is charged with redrawing district boundaries for Kansas’ four congressional districts, 165 legislative districts and the 10 state board of education districts.

The lines are redrawn to account for population

changes so that each elected official represents a similar number of people.

Rapid growth in the 3rd District means the area must give up residents.

Because Republicans hold substantial majorities in the Legislature, they will call the shots in the redistricting process.

Ten years ago, some Republicans were up-front in their statements that the reason to split Lawrence between the 2nd and 3rd districts was to remove Democratic voters from the 3rd, which then was held by Dennis Moore, a Democrat.

Many Lawrence officials urged that Lawrence remain in the 3rd, noting Kansas University’s presence in both Lawrence and the Kansas City metro area.

But since the split, some Lawrence officials say it has been OK for the city to be represented by two U.S. House members, while others maintain it would be better placed in one district.

In fact, Democrats now allege that Republicans want to unite Lawrence in either the 2nd or 3rd District as part of a

plan to move heavily Democratic Wyandotte County out of the 3rd. This would help 3rd District congressman Kevin Yoder, R-Overland Park, who is a freshman.

But which district those Democrats would land in — either the 1st or 2nd, would be part of a Republican Party fight, since those districts are also represented by Republicans: Tim Huelskamp of Fowler in the 1st, who is also a freshman, and Lynn Jenkins of Topeka in the 2nd.

House Democratic Leader Paul Davis of Lawrence and several other legislators have called for a state law that would put redistricting in the hands of a nonpartisan commission, similar to the approach in Iowa.

“Ultimately, redistricting is about giving the people a fair and equal voice in their elected representation,” Davis said. “It is not about securing political dominance or seeking political retribution against individuals with whom we don’t see eye to eye.”

Gadhafi vows no surrender In a fiery broadcast from hiding, Moammar Gadhafi warned Thursday that loyalist tribes in his main strongholds were armed and preparing for battle, a show of defiance hours after rebels extended a deadline for the surrender of the fugitive leader’s hometown.

The rebels, who have been moving troops toward remaining Gadhafi bastions across Libya, had shifted the deadline for the town of Sirte in hopes of avoiding the bloodshed that met their attack on Tripoli.

“We want to save our fighters and not lose a single one in battles with Gadhafi’s forces,” said Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman for the rebel leadership in the eastern city of Benghazi. “In the end, we will get Sirte, even if we have to cut water and electricity” and let NATO pound it with airstrikes.

Power still out after Irene Cold showers. Meals in the dark. Refrigerators full of spoiled food. No TV. No Internet. Up and down the East Coast, patience is wearing thin among the hundreds of thousands of people still waiting for the electricity to come back on after Hurricane Irene knocked out the power last weekend.

“It’s like ‘Little House on the Prairie’ times,” said Debbie McWeeney, who went to a Red Cross shelter in Warwick to pick up food and water after everything in her refrigerator went bad. “Except I’m not enjoying it at all.”

With the waters receding across much of the flood-stricken region, homeowners are mucking out their basements and dragging soggy furniture to the curb. But the wait for power drags on, with an estimated 895,000 homes and businesses still without electricity, down from a peak of 9.6 million.

Tim Horan, National Grid president for Rhode Island, said crews from as far as Kansas and Idaho are working 16-hour shifts, and “we’re committed to getting this resolved as soon as possible.”

Police ID victim in fatal accident

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Lawrence police Thursday afternoon identified a 23-yearold Lawrence man as the motorcyclist who died in a head-on crash Wednesday evening on Iowa Street.

Josh Skipton, who friends said worked at a Lawrence auto dealership, was pronounced dead at the accident scene Wednesday near Iowa Street and University Drive.

Police said Wednesday that officers think Skipton, who was driving his 2005 Yamaha motorcycle north on Iowa Street, tried to stop in traffic and then went into the southbound lane, where he was struck by a van in oncoming traffic.

“After the motorcycle crossed the center line, it was struck by a 1996 Ford Econoline van that was traveling southbound on Iowa Street in the inside lane,” said Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman.

The crash occurred about 6:15 p.m., and it caused one of Lawrence’s busiest streets to be closed for several hours as police investigated the accident.

Sarna on Thursday identified the driver of the van as 55-yearold Mary Barnes of Kansas City, Kan. Barnes and her two passengers were not injured. Police would not comment Thursday about whether Skipton was wearing a helmet.

“Accident investigators with the Lawrence Police Depart-

ment’s Traffic Unit are currently reconstructing the scene to determine the circumstances before the accident occurred,” Sarna said. “It is not believed at this time that alcohol was a contributing factor to the accident.”

Friends of Skipton said Thursday they were still dealing with the shock of losing their friend.

“He’s just a great guy. He’s a great friend,” said Lawrence resident Daniel Guebara, who grew up with Skipton in Deerfield, which is near Garden City. “He was always there for anything. He would go through hoops for anybody just so they would be happy.”

Guebara said Skipton was on his way home from work when the accident occurred. The two

childhood friends graduated from Garden City Community College together. Skipton had attended Kansas State University and Kansas University, Guebara said, but he had taken time off to concentrate on his salesman job.

Riding his motorcycle had been Skipton’s passion for several years, his friend said.

“He loved to ride his bike all over the place,” Guebara said.

Police asked anyone with information about the accident to call the Lawrence Police Department at 832-7650 or Douglas County CrimeStoppers at 843TIPS (8477).

Dems want different jobs speech The tiff over the timing of President Barack Obama’s jobs speech to Congress offers little hope that Republicans and the White House will now find common ground on how to reduce the nation’s painfully high unemployment. In fact, some Democrats say it’s time Obama stopped trying so hard to negotiate.

On matters large and small, Obama has yielded to House Speaker John Boehner in a string of concessions that have unnerved Democrats and emboldened Republicans. A chorus of Democratic voices is now demanding that the president abandon his attempts at being a compromiser and instead lay out an ideological vision that distinguishes him from Republicans and becomes a template for his re-election.

Obama had asked Congress to convene a joint session next Wednesday so he could announce his jobs agenda. Boehner objected, telling the president it would be better if he came the next night. Republicans were irritated that Obama wanted to speak at the same time Republican presidential candidates would be debating in California — and sharing TV time with him.

In the end, Obama accepted Boehner’s invitation to speak at 6 p.m. CDT next Thursday, early enough to avoid yet another conflict — with the opening game of the National Football League season.

Space junk littering orbit Space junk has made such a mess of Earth’s orbit that experts say we may need to finally think about cleaning it up.

That may mean vacuuming up debris with weird space technology — cosmic versions of nets, magnets and giant umbrellas, according to the chairman of an expert panel that issued a new report on the problem Thursday.

There are 22,000 objects in orbit that are big enough for officials on the ground to track and countless more smaller ones that could do damage to human-carrying spaceships and valuable satellites. The International Space Station has to move out of the way of debris from time to time.

“We’ve lost control of the environment,” said retired NASA senior scientist Donald Kessler, who headed the National Academy of Sciences report.

AmeriCorps volunteers find fulfillment

Recent Kansas University graduate Sophie Archuleta won’t be entering graduate school or applying for jobs anytime soon.

Another bioscience company has announced its intention to lease new space at Kansas University’s Bioscience & Technology Business Center at 2029 Becker Drive.

Gyrasol Technologies will occupy 720 square feet in the building and will come to Kansas with two employees on staff, joined by two justhired scientists who are both KU graduates. Susan Burgess, CEO of Gyrasol, said the company plans to hire as many as 12 more KANSAS positions in the next two UNIVERSITY years.

The company focuses on technology that predicts the kind of treatments that will work best for cancer patients, said Burgess, who graduated from KU with a doctorate in pharmacology and toxicology in 1980 before leaving Lawrence to work in the pharmaceutical industry.

She said she has formed four start-up companies since leaving the industry.

“It’s really gratifying to me that I can come back to Kansas and provide jobs for some really talented young scientists,” she said.

LaVerne Epp, president and chairman of the Lawrence-Douglas County Bioscience Authority, said his organization — along with other community partners like the Chamber of Commerce and Douglas County Development, Inc. — made a $225,000 investment in the new company as a loan to Please see BIOSCIENCE, page 4A

Human Rights Commission nominee scrutinized

mission received some pointed questioning during a confirmation hearing Thursday.

Sen. Tim Owens, R-Overland Park, asked Joshua Ney, an attorney from Lawrence and executive director of a conservative legislative group, if he could be openminded while serving on the commission.

The commission investigates complaints alleging discrimination in the areas of employment, public accommodations and housing, as well as racial profiling in conjunction with traffic stops.

“I have some serious con-

— Joshua Ney, an attorney from Lawrence cerns,” Owens said of Ney’s nomination and mentioned his job with Kansas Legislative Education and Research Inc., or KLEAR, and a paper Ney wrote saying that Kansas’ method of selecting judges was unconstitutional.

But Ney said his job with KLEAR was “based on a rubric determined by a board of governors and doesn’t define me as a person in all that I consider.” Ney also serves

as an assistant county attorney in Jefferson County and has his own law firm in Oskaloosa.

“I’m not coming to the Human Rights Commission with an ax to grind or with a cause other than to uphold the law,” he said.

Sen. Jean Kurtis Schodorf, R-Wichita, said she supported Ney’s nomination based on his answers to the Senate Confirmation Oversight Committee. But, she added, “I hope that you will remember this discussion and work as hard as you can to be as fair as you can.”

The committee forwarded the nominations of Ney and former House Speaker Melvin Neufeld to the full Senate. Neufeld, a Republican from Ingalls, was praised by Senate Democratic Leader

Anthony Hensley of Topeka, who said Neufeld did an excellent job of helping to straighten out the commission back in the 1990s.

During the last legislative session, Brownback had proposed placing the Human Rights Commission under the attorney general’s office.

At the time, Brownback had said the move would save $177,000.

But commission officials opposed the plan, saying it would have set up conflicts because sometimes the commission investigates complaints against state agencies, and it is the attorney general’s office that defends those agencies. Brownback later backed off the proposal.

The clinic expects to have at least 5,000 patient encounters by the end of this year, which is up from about 3,300 last year.

Gyrasol is the sixth company to move into the BTBC building at KU, filling it to 66 percent capacity. A seventh company, Argenta, has announced its intention to move into the building as well. Once that move occurs, the building will be at 75 percent capacity, said Matthew McClorey, BTBC executive director.

“It’s further validation that the model is working,” he said.

Gyrasol will relocate to Kansas from New Mexico after a nationwide search for new sites.

ON THE RECORD

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• Douglas County prosecutors Thursday filed an aggravated battery charge against a 47-year-old Lawrence man accused of injuring his exgirlfriend during a fight at a bar last weekend.

A judge Thursday set bond at $2,500 for Fredrick Reese during a court appearance.

Lawrence police said Reese was accused of striking the 41-year-old Lawrence woman in the face with a glass about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, as she was leaving Cross Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave. The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of injuries to her face. Reese’s next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday. He posted bond Thursday afternoon and was freed from jail.

• Lawrence police ticketed an 18-year-old Lawrence woman Wednesday afternoon for failing to yield to another driver in a rollover accident near 22nd Street and Kasold Drive. No one was injured, but Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman, said officers cited

he was driving about 3:30 a.m. The car struck a curb and came to rest in the grass median near Teepee Junction, which is at the intersection of U.S. Highway 24-40 and U.S. Highway 24-59.

Medics took Kennington to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after he bumped his head, Lewis said. He was treated and released. Sheriff’s deputies listed driving too fast for conditions and overcorrected steering as contributing factors, but alcohol was not a factor in the crash, Lewis said.

Kennington also was cited for having no proof of insurance and having no current vehicle registration.

More work to begin on Kasold Drive There’s more road construction beginning in Lawrence.

Work is expected for the next five weeks on Kasold Drive from Trail to Peterson.

The project will include a complete repaving and also will remove the cement median and replace it with a combination of stamped concrete and vegetation.

Traffic likely will be reduced to one lane in each direction for much of the project.

Quakes pose greater risk to U.S. reactors

By Dina Cappiello and Jeff Donn Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The risk that an earthquake would cause a severe accident at a U.S. nuclear plant is greater than previously thought, 24 times as high in one case, according to an AP analysis of preliminary government data. The nation’s nuclear regulator believes a quarter of America’s reactors may need modifications to make them safer.

The threat came into sharp focus last week, when shaking from the largest earthquake to hit Virginia in 117 years appeared to exceed what the North Anna nuclear power plant northwest of Richmond was built to sustain.

The two North Anna reactors are among 27 in the eastern and central U.S. that a preliminary Nuclear Regulatory Commission review has said may need upgrades.

That’s because those plants are more likely to get hit with an earthquake larger than the one their design was based on. Just how many nuclear power plants are more vulnerable won’t be determined until all operators recalculate their own seismic risk based on new assessments by geologists, something the agency plans to request later this year. The NRC on Thursday issued a draft of that request for public comment.

The review, launched well before the East Coast quake and the Japan nuclear disaster in March, marks the first complete update to seismic risk in years for the nation’s 104 existing reactors, despite research showing greater hazards.

The NRC and the industry say reactors are safe as they are, for now. But emails obtained in a more than 11,000page records request by The Associated Press show that NRC experts were worried privately this year that plants needed stronger safeguards to account for the higher risk

AP File Photo

THE WOLF CREEK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT near New Strawn, Kan., which went online in 1985, is pictured on Jan. 11, 2000. The risk of an earthquake causing a severe accident at a nuclear power plant is up to 24 times greater than previously believed, according to an AP analysis of preliminary government data, and the nation’s nuclear regulator believes that a quarter of reactors may need modifications to make them safer. assessments.

The nuclear industry says last week’s quake proved reactors are robust. When the rumbling knocked out offsite power to the North Anna plant in Mineral, Va., the reactors shut down and cooled successfully, and the plant’s four locomotive-sized diesel generators turned on. The quake also shifted about two dozen spent fuel containers, but Dominion Virginia Power said Thursday that all were intact.

Still, based on the AP analysis of NRC data, the plant is 38 percent more likely to suffer core damage from a rare, massive earthquake than it appeared in an analysis 20 years ago.

That increased risk is based on an even bigger earthquake than the one last week. Richard Zuercher, a spokesman for Dominion, the plant operator, says the earlier estimate “remains sound because additional safety margin was built into the design when the station was built.”

The safety cushion would shrink, though, if the plant’s risk is found to be greater.

Federal scientists update seismic assessments every

five to six years to revise building codes for some structures. But no similar system is in place for all but two of the nation’s 104 reactors — even though improving earthquake science has revealed greater risks than previously realized.

The exception is Diablo Canyon in earthquake-prone California, which has been required to review the risk of an earthquake routinely since 1985. The NRC does not require plants to re-examine their seismic risks to renew operating licenses for 20 years.

‘Not a good story for us’ After the March earthquake in Japan that caused the biggest nuclear crisis since Chernobyl, NRC staffers fretted in emails that the agency’s understanding of earthquake risk for existing reactors was out of date.

In a March 15 email, for example, an NRC earthquake expert questioned releasing data to the public showing how strong an earthquake each plant was designed to withstand. The seismologist, Annie Kammerer, acknowledged that recent science showed stronger quakes

could happen. “Frankly, it is not a good story for us,” she wrote to agency colleagues.

Kammerer’s boss, Brian Sheron, who heads the NRC’s Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, wrote in a March 14 email that updated numbers showed the government “didn’t know everything about the seismicity” in the central and the eastern part of the country.

“And isn’t there a prediction that the West Coast is likely to get hit with some huge earthquake in the next 30 years or so? Yet we relicense their plants,” he wrote.

The NRC flagged the 27 plants for possible upgrades by calculating the likelihood of a severe accident based on 2008 hazard maps from the U.S. Geological Survey and comparing it to the seismic risk estimated in 1989 or 1994.

Those data were used the last time existing reactors evaluated their earthquake hazards.

The NRC identified the 27 reactors with the greatest risk increase but did not provide the risk numbers. The AP used the NRC’s data and methodology to calculate the risk increase for each reactor.

The Perry 1 reactor in Ohio tops the list with the steepest rise in the chance of core damage: 24 times as high as thought in 1989. The four other plants with the largest increases include River Bend 1 in Louisiana, up nine times; Dresden 2-3 in Illinois, eight times; Farley 1-2 in Alabama, seven times, and Wolf Creek 1 in Kansas, also seven times.

The smallest increase was the 38 percent at North Anna.

The average risk to U.S. reactors of core damage from a quake remains low, at one accident every 500 years, according to the AP analysis of NRC data. But predicting earthquake probability and damage is dicey; the Japanese nuclear industry was taken by surprise in March when a quake-driven tsunami far surpassed predictions and swamped the Fukushima Dai-ichi site.

Despite bumpy month, economy shows signs of growth

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — August began with rising fears that another recession was about to hit. That was then.

A month later, the economy and the stock market appear more resilient, suggesting that consumers, businesses and investors remain confident enough to keep spending.

A more authoritative test will come today, when the government issues the August jobs report. Employers are expected to have added 93,000 jobs, which would not be enough to significantly lower the jobless rate of 9.1 percent.

But it would solidify evidence that the economy, though still weak, is growing steadily. Many analysts now expect it to strengthen in the months ahead.

A stream of data released Thursday bolstered the case for an economy that’s healthier than it seemed just weeks ago: !" Americans kept shopping in August despite higher prices and a hurricane that battered the East Coast during the important back-toschool shopping season. !" Car buyers lifted U.S. sales last month for most automakers. Analysts had expected a weaker August

because of anxiety about the economy and Hurricane Irene, which forced many dealers to close during the month’s final weekend. !" Fewer people applied for unemployment benefits last week, a sign that the job market may be improving slightly. !" Manufacturing managed to expand in August for the 25th straight month. Last month’s growth, though modest, defied fears that manufacturing, one of the economy’s few sources of strength, had contracted last month.

All that delivered a sense of relief that the economy is still expanding — even if it’s not enough to reduce unem-

“Today’s releases add to the evidence that underlying economic conditions aren’t half as bad as feared a few weeks ago,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.

Delayed decision Keeping students out of class while debating their eligibility to play on a university athletic team sends a poor message.

W

hen it comes to supporting “student athletes” at U.S. universities, it seems that athletic issues always take precedence over academic issues.

This principle is displayed once again in the case of three freshmen basketball players who are being forced to delay the start of their fall semester classes while the NCAA continues to debate their eligibility to play at Kansas University. The three players could start their classes, but if they do and, for any reason are found ineligible to play at KU, they wouldn’t receive their scholarship awards and would be responsible for paying their own tuition and housing costs. In fact, because of that risk, KU coach Bill Self has advised the players not to show their faces on campus until the NCAA makes a final ruling on their eligibility.

Self said the review process was a little more complicated for the three recruits because each had attended three high schools before graduating. That makes it more difficult to evaluate their academic records. Although KU is eager to have the trio cleared to play and attend class, Self said, KU understands the delay.

In the meantime, now two weeks into the fall semester, the three student athletes still are waiting to attend their first classes.

A similar situation occurred last year with freshman Josh Selby, who finally was cleared to attend class on Sept. 7.

Something is wrong with this system. If the NCAA and individual universities truly place a high priority on their athletes earning academic credits and graduating, they should find a way to fix a process that handicaps those athletes at the beginning of their academic careers. Of course, the athletic department offers special academic assistance that will help the athletes catch up, if and when they arrive on campus, but the better option would be to answer the eligibility questions in time for the athletes to start attending class on schedule. Another option would be to create some kind of provisional status that would allow the players to start attending class without facing a financial penalty if they are declared ineligible and have to withdraw.

It’s important for the NCAA to enforce its eligibility requirements. Perhaps KU and other universities could do a better job of picking recruits without eligibility issues or providing the information to clear up those issues in a more timely manner. Perhaps the NCAA could expedite its decision-making process. Something needs to change. Keeping student athletes out of class and forcing them to play catchup when they arrive on campus certainly leaves the impression NCAA officials and schools are more interested in them as athletes than as students.

Petraeus faces new policy challenge WASHINGTON — When David Petraeus takes over as CIA director next week, he will confront a tricky problem: CIA analysts who will be working for him concluded in a recent assessment that the war in Afghanistan is heading toward a “stalemate” — a view with which Petraeus disagrees.

The analysts made their judgment in “District Assessment on Afghanistan,” completed in July, the same month Petraeus quit his post as U.S. commander there. He disagreed with the analysts’ pessimistic reading, as does Gen. John Allen, the new commander in Kabul; Gen. James Mattis, the Centcom commander; and Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The CIA assessment is “pretty harsh,” said a military official who is familiar with its contents.

He noted that the document used the word “stalemate” several times to describe the standoff between NATO-led forces and Taliban insurgents. Even in areas where the U.S. has surged troops over the past 18 months to clear insurgents, the CIA analysts weren’t optimistic that the Taliban’s momentum had been reversed, as President Obama and his military commanders have argued.

“Everyone looking at Afghanistan today recognizes that the challenges are real and that progress isn’t easy,” said a civilian official familiar with the assessment, adding that it was coordinated carefully with the

military. This is the CIA’s seventh such district-by-district examination of the country.

The analysts’ skepticism about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, which has been deepening over the past several years, presents challenges for both Petraeus and the White House.

The test for Petraeus will be whether he can give the analysts the independence they need to provide a sound evaluation of Afghanistan strategy, which he himself created. Petraeus has his own strong views about the war, and has made clear that he will continue to say what he thinks.

But if the analysts are taking a different view from the boss, there’s bound to be tension.

How Petraeus manages this

counterinsurgency strategy to achieve that mission. If the CIA analysts’ view becomes widely shared, and there’s growing sentiment in Washington that the $100 billion-plus annual campaign is only buying an expensive stalemate, Obama will have to re-examine the plan and the troop levels. Ironically, if he chooses a more limited counterterrorism approach, Petraeus as CIA director would once again be at the center of the fight.

The White House for now seems comfortable with its gradual drawdown through 2014. The troubled relationship with President Hamid Karzai has improved slightly, thanks to a “reset” by the new U.S. ambassador, Ryan Crocker. There’s broad agreement, too, with the judgment of Obama’s sometime adviser, John Podesta, who argued after a July visit to Afghanistan for more emphasis on a political and economic transition strategy.

As with so many aspects of Afghanistan, there are echoes here of Vietnam — where CIA analysts were early and emphatic in their warnings that U.S. strategy wouldn’t succeed, but were countered by generals who insisted the U.S. could prevail with sufficient military power.

In a technical sense, Petraeus crossed the threshold between military and intelligence roles when he took off the uniform this week, but the real transition is ahead.

inevitable friction — reassuring the analysts while remaining faithful to his own views — will be closely watched within and outside the CIA. This isn’t a military chain of command: Intelligence analysts resent efforts by outsiders (and even superiors) to shape their reporting. If they think Petraeus is trying to steer assessments, they’re sure to protest.

Petraeus maintained during his June 23 Senate confirmation hearing that he would give the analysts proper latitude in areas where he had been a commander, such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

“In the Situation Room with the president, I will strive to represent the agency position,” he said, adding that he would be “keenly aware that I am the leader of an intelligence agency, and not a policymaker.”

Gossip about a supposed rift between Petraeus and the analysts has been circulating in Kabul during the past week, as word spread of the skeptical CIA assessment. Some speculated it was a pre-emptive strike by the agency bureaucracy; others saw it as a harbinger of impending change in White House policy. From my reporting, neither seems to be true. The analysts have long been skeptical on Afghanistan, but Obama has continued to support the military.

The larger challenge is for Obama. In 2009, he signed on to the limited objective of stopping al-Qaida in Afghanistan and reversing the Taliban’s momentum — but using a broad

The government could help provide that demand — directly, through a job guarantee program modeled on the Works Progress Administration (WPA), or indirectly, through a full payroll tax holiday and another round of revenue-sharing for the states.

But no one in Washington will support anything that bold. And so people like Lynn Jenkins will settle for a matchmaking event that promises to pair hundreds of potential employers with thousands of job seekers.

Timid efforts

Texas jobs

To the editor: Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins has just sent me an email, unveiling her version of a jobs plan. A good, old-fashioned matchmaking event at the Topeka Expocentre, where throngs of unemployed Americans can claw their way through a crowd of equally desperate men and women looking to land the perfect mate. I mean a reasonable match. I mean any job whatsoever.

It’s as if no one in Washington gets it. We don’t need to introduce employers to the unemployed — they can throw a rock and hit one every 10 feet. We need to introduce employers to new customers. Sales create jobs.

The problem is that too many households are still struggling with high debt levels, so spenders have become savers. Until households finish deleveraging, there

To the editor: Brownback touted himself as creating jobs in Kansas when he got elected. So far, the only jobs he’s created are high-paying administrative jobs at the SRS for out-of-state cronies. Now, buried in an Aug. 30 article (“No insurance exchange in Kansas...”), we find that he’s awarded a $135 million contract to a Texas firm to develop a “computerized system that ... will make it easier ... to apply for social services and also increase identification of fraud in Medicaid and other programs...”

In addition to my wondering if the contract was a no-bid contract, I see that Brownback said the following in one action: He wants to create jobs in Texas, but not Kansas; he doesn’t think a Kansas development firm is capable of creating the system; and he’s more concerned with Texas because it

Survival instinct To the editor: I would like to answer the questions raised by David Omar’s Aug. 30 Public Forum comments on “Discrimination:” “Why is it that our nature compels us to condemn that which we don’t understand or don’t want to embrace? Have we lost that ability to accept or did we ever have it?”

If we look at the evolutionary tree from which we descend, we see our ancestors flourished in a hostile environment by following their survival instincts and the ancient admonition: “Be fruitful and multiply.” Those that did not heed are history.

The admonition made perfect sense 400 years ago. The Jamestown settlement had a population of about 1,000 Christian souls and a westward population estimated at about one million in what would become the United States. Today, the United States has a population of about 300 million with some of our once-fertile Plains worn out or washed away.

Our survival instincts and our “American dreams” are in need of a healthy transfusion of common sense based on the reality of our present condition.

Town must cancel watermelon fest GAYLORD — It will be a quiet and melancholy Labor Day in the small northern Kansas town of Gaylord.

For the first time in 87 years, the town will not hold its annual Labor Day festival, also known as the watermelon celebration.

Resident Delpha Godsey said the town of only 114 residents has lost interest in helping to plan the celebration.

That means no parade, no watermelon, no crafts this year.

The town’s median age is 52, and only 22 residents are younger than 18.

Godsey says the sponsoring organization, the Valley Community Club, has dissolved. That left her and only a few other people to do all the organizing.

“Our townsfolk are getting old, and younger people are busy,” Godsey said. “I got tired of being the only one who did all the book work.”

The Hays Daily News reports that the celebration started in the 1920s, when a farmer with a bountiful watermelon crop invited his neighbors to come eat all the watermelon they wanted.

At its peak, the celebration drew up to 1,000 participants.

Saviours, Bison B.C., Melting Point of Bronze Tonight’s show is a throwback to classic rock, ‘80s metal bands and thunderous guitar riffs of yore.

Saviours, on the second stop of their tour, both look and play the part of a throwback band, without any of that annoying winking irony getting in the way of their hard-driving, guitar-heavy songs that would make Thin Lizzy and Motorhead proud.

They’re joined by Bison B.C., another band that wears its influences on their sleeves.

Purveyors of the more theatrical, dynamic, jam-friendly metal, Bison B.C. owes far more to Slayer or Dimmu Borgir than anyone else.

The earplug-friendly bill is rounded out by Lawrence’s own metal/thrash rockers, Melting Point Of Bronze.

In all, it should be a loud, heavy show for people who are ready to start their weekend with a bang rather than a whimper. The show starts at 10 p.m. at the Jackpot, 943 Mass.

LAWRENCE HIGH FALL SPORTS PREVIEW

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Big 12 creating anxiety A basketball Cinderella story plays out in the NCAA Tournament. Inevitably, the focus shifts away from celebrating the players who made it happen to guessing the coach’s next job.

What a buzz kill for the alumni.

Now it’s happening to the football season, at the beginning instead of the end. Conference realignment talk dominates.

Anxiety about the future replaces excitement about the birth of a new football season.

Fears that road trips to college football games will go the way of leather helmets prey on the minds of those who prefer the status quo. It’s a sad thought, but one gaining traction with each move toward super conferences.

With threats of more realignment looming, it’s time to position for tomorrow, not pine for yesterday. I never had fallen into the Armageddon camp regarding the Big 12 disappearing, but I don’t deny that a column penned by Kirk Bohls of the Austin American Statesman spooked me worse than any other development since the ground began to quake early in the summer of 2010.

Bohls, no homer columnist, rightly opined that Oklahoma determines the future of the conference.

In his view, Texas would love to see OU go to the Pac-12 so that Texas could follow in the wake of all the criticism aimed at the Sooners. The Longhorn Network? Bohls said it would be downsized and become one of seven regional networks in the Pac-16, which would include Oklahoma State and Texas Tech.

It’s a scary thought for KU, which would be left trying to get into either the Pac-16 (instead of Texas Tech), the Big Ten (not likely) or the Big East (the most likely outcome if the Pac-16’s not interested).

Bohls is a well-sourced reporter, so it’s not easy to guess his whisper. No way it was an Oklahoma decision-maker. If OU actually does want to make the move, it sneaks out under the cover of darkness.

What would be in it for Texas to leak such a scenario? Forcing Oklahoma’s hand to come out and state that the Sooners are not interested in fleeing the Big 12. Period. Such a statement would ease insecurities Texas might have about potentially losing the mutually beneficial partnership with OU. Knowing OU and Texas are staying put also would make the Big 12 a more attractive option for potential members.

Those who have known Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione for a long time consider him an honorable gentleman and believe him when he says his preference is to stay in the Big 12. Still, it pays to remember that in the end it was not Texas A&M’s athletic director, rather its president, who made the move to the SEC happen.

Fifteen months ago, Sooners football coach Bob Stoops said he was intrigued by the idea of competing and recruiting in the Pac-10. Disregard that. Again, coaches don’t make the decisions to leap. Some believe that, when polled by the AD, not a single coach at A&M was in favor of leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. So how worried should KU be about its conference vanishing? Tough call, because it depends on Oklahoma and Texas, and decisions about athletics often come from higher offices than can be found in athletic complexes.

No place like home

Lions settled into new digs, ready for season

By Corey Thibodeaux Journal-World Sports Writer

Two years removed from having to travel all over the city, Lawrence High athletes are enjoying their new on-campus facilities, and it seems to already be having a positive impact on the teams.

A look at the eight fall sports Lawrence High fields:

Boys cross country This perennial power is trying to build off of its third-place finish at state last season. Several senior leaders have a chance to graduate with their third state championship for ninth-year coach Brian Anderson.

Simon Fangman, Reid Hildenbrand, Zach Andregg, Nathan Stringer and Thomas Ezell will aim to add to their 2008 and 2009 state championships. Among the underclassmen leaders are juniors Gavin Fischer and Adam Edmonds and sophomore Eddie Wilson. The boys retained their core from last year.

Hay and Payton Covert; juniors Grace Morgan, Heather Cistola and Emily McEntire; sophomore Laura Neilsen; and freshmen Emily Laughlin, Leah Gabler and Riley Snook.

Anderson said this team is the school’s strongest since a sixthplace finish in the state meet in 2006.

Girls cross country The Lions finished 11th in the state meet a year ago, and Anderson is confident they can do even better. According to their times, the following 10 runners are already ahead of the team’s fourthbest runner at this time last year: seniors Michala Ruder, Chloe

Football Right away, the squad is going to be tested, facing three of the Sunflower League’s top four teams. The Lions play host to Shawnee Mission West tonight, then go on the road for three in a row. It’s all about improving for head coach Dirk Wedd.

“If we do that, which we have done a good job of so far, the wins and losses will take care of themselves,” he said.

Dual-threat junior quarterback Brad Strauss made a strong impression as a rare sophomore starter last season and has grown, physically and in leadership ways. Senior Charles Jackson is expected to lead the running game, and classmate Anthony Buffalomeat heads the receiving unit. Senior offensive guard Joel Odrowski has returned even bigger and stronger.

Former Kansas University basketball forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris prefer to look at the bright side regarding the NBA lockout.

“This is the best thing about what’s going on right now — us being together,” Markieff said Thursday while seated next to his twin brother during an auto-

graph signing at Briggs Chrysler Dodge Jeep at 29th and Iowa streets.

Markieff, who was selected No. 13 overall by the Phoenix Suns, and Marcus, tapped 14th overall by Houston in the June NBA Draft, will be going their separate ways if and when a new collective bargaining agreement is reached and NBA players return to work.

Until then, the twins have

been playing pick-up basketball with college and pro players at UCLA as well as with KU’s current players in Lawrence.

“I’m still in shape. I’m working out with the (KU) team doing everything they are doing,” said Marcus, who showed for the autograph signing wearing his brother’s Phoenix Suns cap.

Texas says it tried to partner with A&M AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — Texas A&M could have been a partner with Texas in a lucrative television network but wasn’t interested in joining the Longhorns when the idea was hatched, Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds said Thursday.

Dodds told the Associated Press he first met with Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne about the idea of an Aggies-Long-

horns network about four years ago but Byrne didn’t seem interested. At the time, the Longhorns weren’t sure they could carry a network on their own.

Byrne tried to re-open discussions about a year ago, but by then it was too late, Dodds said.

Texas had decided it had the national brand, stature and skill to forge ahead alone.

“I said we were too far down

the road,” Dodds said. “We had figured out how to do it by ourselves.”

The Longhorns signed a 20year, $300 million deal with ESPN in January to create the Longhorn Network that launched last week.

Byrne has said the Longhorn Network created uncertainty in the Big 12 and cited it in his Wednesday blog as a big reason why the Aggies will leave the Big 12

by July, presumably to join the Southeastern Conference.

Byrne wrote that he liked the original joint network idea but assured Texas A&M fans he did not pass up a $150 million deal for his school.

“Our fans should know me better than that,” Byrne wrote. “That never happened.”

Byrne’s blog posting did not say why the partnership never materialized.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Wilson wows in UW debut; Badgers cruise

Serena devastates Krajicek in U.S. Open

The Associated Press

No. 11 Wisconsin 51, UNLV 17 MADISON, WIS. — Russell Wilson threw two touchdown passes and ran for another in his Wisconsin debut and Montee Ball scored four times to lead the 11thranked Badgers over UNLV on Thursday night.

All the attention was on Wilson, the North Carolina State transfer who is using his last year of eligibility at Wisconsin in hopes of getting the Badgers back to the Rose Bowl or better.

Wilson shined, taking off on a 46-yard TD run that had him slipping into the end zone untouched just before halftime, then thanking every one of his offensive teammates on the bench after the play.

Even with Wilson, the Badgers (1-0) are built to run. Ball and James White overwhelmed the undersized Rebels (0-1) from the start in the hottest game in the 94-year history of Camp Randall Stadium.

Wisconsin’s running game gave Wilson plenty of opportunities to pick UNLV apart, and the charismatic signal caller calmly went to the bench and sat under a giant fan flanked by a TV camera following his every move after each score. He finished 10-of-13 for 255 yards and had two rushes for 62 yards.

Ball caught Wilson’s first TD pass as a Badger from four yards out.

In some ways it was a typical Wisconsin opener. The Badgers scored on their first drive of the season for the sixth straight year. In same ways, it was very different: the temperature at kickoff was 90 degrees.

No. 20 Mississippi State 59, Memphis 14 MEMPHIS, TENN. — Vick Ballard rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns, and Mississippi State easily handled Memphis at the Liberty Bowl.

Mississippi State dominated from the start, taking a 31-7 lead after gaining 405 total yards in the first half. Things slowed down a little after that, but the Bulldogs still finished with a school-record 645 total yards.

Ballard had touchdown runs of 46 and 66 yards in the first half. He added a oneyard touchdown early in the third quarter and averaged 16.6 yards per carry against the Tigers’ porous defense.

Georgia Tech 63, Western Carolina 21 ATLANTA — Orwin Smith scored two of Georgia Tech’s four first-quarter touchdowns, Stephen Hill caught two touchdown passes from Tevin Washington and Georgia Tech beat Western Carolina in the opener for both teams.

The Yellow Jackets piled up 662 yards of total offense — their most productive game since 2000 — but they struggled throughout the night to hold on to the football, losing two of six fumbles and allowing a second-quarter punt to get blocked and recovered for a touchdown.

NEW YORK — Neither her words nor her play indicated that Serena Williams was distracted one bit Thursday at the U.S. Open.

She would have been forgiven if they had, of course, given that her older sister Venus withdrew from the tournament 24 hours earlier and revealed a recently diagnosed immune system disease.

Focused as ever, Serena absolutely overwhelmed Michaella Krajicek of the Netherlands 6-0, 6-1 to reach the third round, showing precisely why many consider her the favorite to win a fourth championship at Flushing Meadows and 14th Grand Slam title overall.

Thursday winners Serena, Novak Djokovic (two), Roger Federer (seven), Caroline Wozniacki (two), and Francesca Schiavone (two) combined to lose 14 games in five matches.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS

NU’s Osborne slams Big 12 LINCOLN, NEB. — Two days before Nebraska plays its first football game as a member of the Big Ten, athletic director Tom Osborne took a not-so-subtle swipe at his school’s previous conference.

Osborne said at a booster luncheon Thursday that the Big Ten probably would still be around in 100 years because of the stability that results from the way finances are handled.

Without mentioning Nebraska and Colorado’s exits from the Big 12 or the imminent departure of Texas A&M, Osborne said the Big 12’s revenue-sharing plan lends itself to instability.

“When there are inequities, eventually something is going to give somewhere,” Osborne said. “It doesn’t mean it will happen, but it makes it more difficult.”

Source: Vols offer AD job A person familiar with the situation says Tennessee has offered its open athletic director’s job to Alabama assistant athletic director Dave Hart.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 21 years, and we have five wonderful children. “Tom” is 50, and I am 39.

In the past few years, Tom has developed an annoying habit. He openly ogles attractive women and young teenage girls. I can understand one glance, but he stares.

After we walk past, he’ll look over his shoulder to get the rear view.

Later in the day, he will sometimes remark that I should wear this or that revealing outfit, tone my muscles more, dye my hair a specific color or lose weight.

Mind you, I am a size 4. Tom says he finds skinny women with large breasts and tattoos a turn-on. I don’t look like that.

I have told Tom that his newfound habit is hurtful and disrespectful to me. It makes me feel that I’m not pretty enough and gives the impression that these women could easily steal him away.

It embarrasses me so much that I don’t want to go anywhere with him. We no longer take evening walks, and forget about restaurants.

When I tell this to Tom, he becomes angry and often yells at me. He insists he’s

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

SM West awaits Lawrence Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KU bowl game? It’s possible Last month, ESPN.com’s Brad Edwards revealed that he picked Kansas University’s football team to play in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl this December.

What?

You heard correctly. Now, let’s see if we can figure out why.

It’s been well documented that people expect three or four wins to be the ceiling for this year’s team. Naturally, the Jayhawks themselves believe it’s higher.

Remember, coach Turner Gill says his goal is to win every game. He means it.

And he doesn’t care if it says Oklahoma or McNeese State on the opponent’s helmet.

The players also think winning is possible this year.

Many have targeted six wins and bowl-eligibility as an attainable goal. Believe. It’s not just a slogan any longer.

KU’s facing a tough schedule, and, no matter how talented or confident the Jayhawks may be, they’re incredibly young. It’s one thing to think you can hang with Texas, OU and Oklahoma State. It’s another to go out and do it.

I’m not saying they will, and I’m not saying they won’t. What I am saying is I can see why they think it’s possible. Here’s how it could happen.

It sets up like this: In the opener, the Jayhawks welcome an FCS team to town for the second straight season. With the haunting memories of last year’s embarrassing loss to North Dakota State still fresh in the Jayhawks’ minds, you can bet McNeese State will have KU’s full attention. KU won’t win 50-7, but it won’t lose 6-3 either. The way I see it, the schedule sets up for the Jayhawks to pick up a feel-good win right out of the gate.

Next up, a tough Northern Illinois team comes to town.

The Huskies had a great 2010 and return a lot of talent. But they’re also going to battle with a new head coach — former KU assistant Dave Doeren — and we’ve all seen how tough that transition can be on a team. KU might not be favored in that one, but it can win. Just like that, the Jayhawks are 2-0 and heading into a road game against Georgia Tech, whom they beat a season ago.

KU’s better than last year.

Georgia Tech’s a little worse.

Winning will be tough with GT having the revenge factor and home-field advantage, but you have to at least see that the Jayhawks will go down to Atlanta believing they can win — especially if they’re sitting at 2-0.

Remember, you’re thinking like a Jayhawk here, one of the guys who actually suits up on Saturdays.

Imagine, if they walk away from their nonconference schedule 3-0 and head into their bye week on Cloud 9.

That would do wonders for the rest of their season and would give them a real shot in their Big 12 opener against Texas Tech after the bye week. From there, six wins are at least possible.

As for my prediction, I’m going with 4-8. I think KU wins its first two games and goes on to beat two of the following four teams — Georgia Tech (Week 3), Texas Tech (Week 5), Kansas State (Week 8) and Iowa State (Week 10).

We’ll find out soon enough, but the first step in the process kicks off at 6 p.m. Saturday against McNeese State.

COMING SATURDAY Be sure to check out page 8B Saturday for GameDay coverage of KU’s season opener.

By Corey Thibodeaux Journal-World Sports Writer

Lawrence High’s football team doesn’t have to wait long for a challenge.

In the Lions’ season opener, the team plays host to Shawnee Mission West, the same Vikings team that crushed LHS, 55-21, last season.

Kickoff is 7 tonight at LHS. “They ran us out of the stadium,” head coach Dirk Wedd said.

But both teams return their key offensive engines, the starting quarterback and running back.

The intrigue with the Lions this season comes with junior quarterback Brad Strauss, who is coming in as the undisputed leader. He has had the summer to build off of

FSHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Most likely, the Firebirds will have to try to keep up offensively with a Falcons team that has aspirations of a state title run this season after going 7-4 a year ago.

At quarterback, FSHS junior Kyle McFarland will start, but sophomore Joe Dineen also will receive snaps. Lisher said both had improved in the summer through camps, weight training and workouts.

“We’ll play them both, just ride it for a while, and see which one does the best job over the long run,” Lisher said.

Knighton will start at tailback after playing receiver a year ago, while junior

still here. Don’t quote me on that, though,” he added with a laugh.

KU coach Bill Self’s grueling two-week Boot Camp will start the last week of the month.

“We’re here right now working out with the team,” Markieff said, willing to provide some impressions of the 2011-12 Jayhawks. “I really like Naadir (Tharpe), the new point guard. Merv (Lindsay) is a great shooter. I kind of like the chemistry they (Jayhawks) have going on.

They really like each other.”

Marcus said he was impressed with “everybody. We all know what T-Rob (Thomas Robinson) can do. Justin Wesley is definitely looking a lot better. There’s other people like Elijah (Johnson) who have had a great offseason. It’s definitely going to be fun to see these guys get out there and go.”

The twins have been huddling with their agent about possibilities for the coming season.

“I’m considering it,” Marcus said of playing in Europe.

Which country? “Whatever one is going to treat me the best.”

Marcus is also considering enrolling in classes at KU. “I’m going to get my degree,” he said.

Markieff acknowledged his agent has spoken to a team in Greece.

“It’s a possibility,” he said of playing overseas, noting he also plans on graduating to fulfill a promise made to his mother.

If the two remain in the U.S., they will play in the Legends of the Phog KU alumni game set for Sept. 24 in Allen Fieldhouse.

“It’s going to be fun, man.

Not even the game, just to be around all those guys (current Jayhawks in NBA and some past KU greats) and have a chance to interact and talk to all of them,” Marcus said.

For his sake, the Lions figure to focus most of their defense on stopping senior running back Tre Burt. Burt had 118 yards and two touchdowns in last season’s matchup.

Lawrence running back Charles Jackson is primed for another standout season, and the balance between him and senior wide receiver Anthony Buffalomeat will give the Lions a troublesome offense for defenders. Throw that in with Strauss’ athletic ability and an offensive line anchored by senior guard Joel Ordrowski, and the offense could be dangerous.

“Our line is coming together,” Knighton said. “We weren’t very sure about it at the beginning of the year, but it’s starting to look good. Everybody else is starting to do their part.”

Free State’s defense also will have to worry about junior quarterback Frankie Seurer, Jr., whose father played quarterback for Kansas University in the early 1980s.

Seurer came off the bench in the fourth quarter to complete three of four passes for 71 yards and a touchdown against Free State last year.

“We anticipate them throwing it a little bit if necessary, but as big as physical as they should be ... we just don’t know,” Lisher said.

“We’ll have to try to adjust on the run defensively.”

“I don’t think everybody is saying that. I haven’t heard anybody in the know say that,” Self said. “I’ve heard some speculation and A&M created the situation.

I don’t wish any ill will on A&M, but our league will be just as strong without A&M ... as long as we stay together. Our presence in Texas will not go down at all as long as we have Baylor and Texas Tech and Texas in the state.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S LILY ABROMEIT GETS A RETURN on the ball Thursday against Blue Valley Northwest at LHS.

Lions tennis battles heat

By Corey Thibodeaux Journal-World Sports Writer

Lawrence High girls tennis coach Chris Marshall hasn’t been with his team for very long and has a lot to learn about his players.

But thanks to a 100-degree day, he saw his team struggle in the conditions with one victory on the varsity side and three for the JV on Thursday against Blue Valley Northwest.

“I’ve learned that you can’t predict Kansas weather,” Marshall said.

The lone varsity winner in singles was Natasha Hurt, the No. 7 player. Brooke Braman and Lily Abromeit won their JV singles matches, while Yelena Birit and Emily Wangler won their doubles match.

“To me, these types of matches work like practices to get us ready for later in the season,” Marshall said.

No. 1 player Taylor Eubanks suffered a concussion last Friday and was cleared to play Tuesday. The Lions played a tournament on Wednesday, but Eubanks started getting headaches Thursday and had to forfeit because of the after-effects of the concussion.

Abby Gillam, the No. 4 player who lost a close 8-6 match, said the entire team showed guts for sticking it out in the conditions.

“It was not as brutal as this,” she said, comparing Wednesday’s to Thursday’s matchups. “We all played our hardest and gave it our best so I’m really happy with however we came out today.”

Of the 30-plus soccer players waiting to hear the name of Lawrence High’s new girls soccer coach, n o b o d y knew who it could possibly be.

The only rumor on Kepler the situation was that it might be a woman.

They heard right.

On Thursday at the LHS library, the Lions introduced Janna Kepler, an autism be-

havior consultant at Lawrence High, a former soccer player and a triathlete set to compete in a few days.

Kepler wanted the job last year, but couldn’t apply for it because she was pregnant. With former coach Joe Nemzer, who was hired in February, not returning, the opportunity was there.

“It was just a last-minute thing,” she said. “I think they expected him to be back.”

Kepler’s coaching resume includes three years of swimming at a YMCA in Iowa and various stints in club soccer.

“I love coaching, and I love soccer,” Kepler said. “The two of them together is just great.”

NFL PRESEASON

Chiefs edged by Packers GREEN BAY, WIS. (AP) — Don’t tell Green Bay Packers linebacker Vic So’oto the last preseason game doesn’t mean anything.

With most of the Super Bowl champions’ marquee players on the sideline, So’oto likely sealed up his roster spot in the Packers’ 20-19 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.

So’oto, an undrafted free agent out of BYU who ended

up in Green Bay after his wife chose among multiple NFL offers, returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown. He had 11⁄2 sacks and a forced fumble.

The Chiefs kept many of their starters in the game into the fourth quarter, but didn’t look particularly sharp against So’oto and the rest of the Packers’ backups. Kicker Ryan Succop missed a 56yard attempt at the end of the game for Kansas City (0-4).

LHS

last season, LHS coach Mike Murphy expressed optimism about this year’s team. The Lions had two seniors on last year’s roster, compared to eight this year, led by team captain Tanner Click. Zach Wustefeld and Tanner Williams are expected to play key roles.
