LAWRENCE RESIDENTS DODIE COKER AND HER HUSBAND, ROY, talk about the couple’s financial troubles and his concerns about possibly losing their house. The economic crisis and a series of misfortunes have put the couple — and many others — on a path to destitution.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Roy and Dorothy “Dodie” Coker raised children in Lawrence, worked for years at local businesses, and for 17 years steadily paid the mortgage on their home on Pawnee Street.

Roy, 58, and Dodie, 61, should be slowing down, getting ready for retirement, enjoying weekends with their three grown children and spoiling their four grandchildren.

Instead, the Cokers are learning their way around the local social service system, scratching and clawing to pay the bills.

They’ve been to an area food pantry for the first time, filled out applications at SRS, and begun selling possessions — all with the goal of not losing their home.

“My expectation is that my next address will be the homeless shelter,” Roy said.

From Census figures and other data, here are some estimates for the cost of living. ● Median housing cost in Douglas County each month, including rent/mortgage, utilities, insurance and taxes: $1,423. ● Monthly food costs for family of four: $972 ● National average adult monthly debt payments (credit cards and student loans): $211 ● National average per-person credit card debt: $5,100

A review of salaries at Kansas Athletics Inc. shows 36 of the top 42 administrators and coaches — 85 percent — are paid at least $100,000.

New formula puts focus on graduation rates

Changing calculations, differing demographics and dwindling finances may add up to increasingly frustrating graduation rates in the Lawrence school district.

opened in 1997, the new school’s graduation rate was 86 percent, or just below the 86.6 percent recorded at Lawrence High.

In the years since, those rankings have reversed. For 2008-09 — just before the latest data came out — Lawrence High’s graduation rate had dropped to 79.9 percent, while Free State’s had soared to 92.9 percent.

The new report may indicate that the divide is closing, but officials still see the separation as a chasm that must be addressed.

Garden City Zenger youths report more diabetes

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

G A R D E N C I T Y , K AN . ( AP ) — Diabetes cases have been rising among Garden City students, according to area health officials.

Polly Witt, health services coordinator for Garden City schools, told The Garden City Telegram that there are four times as many office visits among students for diabetes as there were three years ago.

Witt said there were 3,389 diabetes-related visits to the district’s nurses or their associates in the 2010-11 school year. That compares with 1,993 in 2009-10 and 823 in 2008-09. There are more than 7,000 students in the district.

She said most of the cases were of Type 2 diabetes, which she said in the past was more common among adults.

“What we’re seeing in our kids is reflected in our adults,” Witt said. “We eat more and work less. Fruits and vegetables are important. Lifestyles have changed for the worse.

Once we might have had an eight-ounce Coke. Now it’s a two-liter bottle.

“Getting all the sugary things out of the house would not hurt. Adding fresh fruit would help. That is what I believe,” she said.

Tammy Bailes, nurse practitioner for the Finney County Health Department, said her office also sees a lot of childhood obesity, which she said may be contributing to the increase in cases of diabetes.

“We do see quite a bit of childhood obesity, which may lead to Type 2 diabetes,” Bailes said. “The Garden City Recreation Commission has special programs for kids to encourage physical activity and good eating habits.”

Witt said the students being seen in Garden City schools are receiving insulin injections.

“If it is a kindergartner, we do teach them how to calculate their blood sugar and other management techniques,” she said.

contributions, which helped KU upgrade several facilities.

KU’s financial records to the NCAA also show what the department spent on support staff and administration, excluding coaches, increased significantly as well, from $10.1 million in 2004-2005 to $16.27 million in 2009-2010, the most recent report available.

The department’s total operating expenses in that time increased from $40.76 million to $69.24 million, while revenue increased from $50.8 million to $70.5 million, according to the reports.

Big 12 comparisons One snapshot comparison of KU’s budget information with other Big 12 universities suggests KU is spending more on administration and support staff than all other athletics departments — besides the University of Texas — according to a USA Today database that lists athletics department budget information that public universities provide to the NCAA. According to the same report, for 2009-2010: ● Texas spent $25.1 million on administrative and support staff and $130.4 million overall. ● Kansas — $16.27 million, $69.24 million total. ● Oklahoma — $14.5 million, $87.7 million total. ● Texas A&M — $14.2 million, $75.9 million overall. ● Missouri — $11.1 million, $61.8 million total. ● Oklahoma State — $8.5 million, $83.7 million overall. ● Kansas State — $8.8 million, $42.3 million total.

When asked if he were comfortable with the number of six-figure salaries in the department, Zenger said KU was in the upper half of the Big 12 but “not at the tip of the spear.”

The six athletics department employees making less than $100,000 in the recent Journal-World records request were all head coaches of nonrevenue sports. The department provided salaries and contract information,

when applicable, for 11 head coaches, 16 assistant coaches in various sports and 12 administrators or department directors.

No imminent overhaul Since he began work Feb. 1, Zenger, a Kansas native who Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle hired from Illinois State University, has spent most of his time evaluating the department and moved forward with much of the staff members who were in place when he Zenger arrived. But he has called KU’s last-place finish among Big 12 schools in the all-sport Director’s Cup standings “unacceptable.”

Still, he doesn’t plan to make imminent head coaching changes. He did give a four-year extension last month to softball coach Megan Smith, largely because she was courted by another university.

But Zenger has little financial room to remove any coaches, at least in the shortterm, if he wants a change.

Contracts provided to the Journal-World show Perkins signed three multiyear deals for three nonrevenue coaches and one extension for women’s soccer coach Mark Francis in 2010 just before or around the time he announced he was initially stepping down.

Zenger has no plans to overhaul the administrative staff heading into the school year. Earlier this year, Zenger hired Terry Mohajir as an associate athletic director to supervise the Williams Educational Fund and earlier this month named him senior associate athletic director for external relations. Former KU basketball player Greg

Lawrence High is offering more than summer school to help students retake failed courses or to boost grades in incomplete ones. There’s also a “winter night school” — 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. twice a week, for four weeks, beginning in January — for students who may have missed out on a credit or two during the first semester, usually through missed assignments. “If passing is a 60 (percent), and you’re at 55 (percent), a teacher can refer you,” Brungardt said. “Once you finish it, you earn a D and you’ve got that credit.” ● Reconfiguring the high schools. Beginning this fall, both schools will have all four grade levels on campus, instead of ninth-graders starting their high school careers in junior high. The switch will be expected to help students get on track earlier. “Teenagers want to see meaning and relevance in their classes,” Bodensteiner said. “We can do all that when we get them all on the high school campuses.” ● Increasing course opportunities. The schools are expanding to seven-period days, up from the previous six, to help students satisfy their graduation requirements earlier and to take more classes — especially electives, and career-practical courses — than ever Gurley was also hired as director of development for the Williams Fund.

They assume responsibilities previously held by Ben Kirtland and Rodney Jones, who both worked under Perkins and are now in federal prison after pleading guilty to taking part in a scheme with others to steal at least $2 million in ticket revenue from the university. Federal prosecutors later said there was no evidence Perkins knowingly participated in the scheme.

Last week, one of the final hires of the Perkins era, director of security Ron Olin, a retired Lawrence police chief, announced he would resign from the athletics department after evaluating KU’s internal controls, policies and procedures. Once he leaves, Olin could serve as a consultant on an as-needed basis. Zenger earlier had called it a unique position to an athletics department.

Zenger also said KU alumnus and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Gale Sayers, whom Perkins hired in October 2009 on a four-year contract at $150,000 a year as director of fundraising for special projects, is now working in an alumni relations role.

“We’ve found him to be very key in just being Gale Sayers in representing us in an exemplary fashion across the state of Kansas,” Zenger said.

‘It’s a process’ Jerry Bailey, KU’s faculty athletic representative who served a year as chairman of the Kansas Athletics Corp. board of directors, said he believed Zenger has done a “very smart thing” by taking his time to assess the department.

“You can’t figure out where you’re going if you don’t know where you are,” Bailey said.

before. Students should see how their studies can actually mean something outside the classroom, spurring more interest and, therefore, better performance.

“When you’re learning the Pythagorean theorem to learn the Pythagorean theorem, it’s not as exciting as when you’re learning it to make a cabinet or using it in some real-world application,” Sanburn said.

Looking ahead Just what effect all the programs and investments and changes will have in the long run remains to be seen, especially as the district continues to grapple with financing challenges from state government. No board members or administrators expect to see more money coming out of Topeka anytime soon, leaving them to come up with “revenue-neutral” initiatives designed to get more students graduating on time.

Sanburn — who considers the district’s 82.1 percent graduation rate both “terrible” and “startling” — would like to see the rate rise to 90 percent and beyond because she knows what that would reflect: more kids earning their diplomas.

More education. More opportunities. More success.

“It’s our job as a school district, to help these kids have a bright future,” Sanburn said.

“The goal is to make sure our students have bright, hopeful futures. … We want 100 percent of the students coming into our district graduating.”

Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs, said that when Gray-Little hired Zenger she did not give the new athletic director any directives on how he must manage his staff. Caboni also said Zenger has spent the last few months evaluating the department and meeting fans and donors, but now he’s closer to moving into a new phase, which he’s discussed with Gray-Little.

“Restructuring does not happen all at once,” Caboni said. “Most of the time it’s a process, not a moment in time.”

On personnel, Zenger has also talked about treating the employees fairly as he evaluates the department.

“I don’t believe you make knee-jerk reactions with regard to their futures,” Zenger said, “and the futures that eventually impact their families as well.”

One of the department’s major donors, Dana Anderson, whose family’s name is on the Anderson Family Football Complex next to Memorial Stadium, said many supporters want to see KU become competitive in football and other sports. He also said he was confident Zenger was looking at how much money KU spends on administration and support staff, compared with other universities, and how effective they’ve been.

But Anderson, a California businessman, said he also supported Zenger’s “more reasoned approach” to evaluate the department’s landscape.

“The fact that he hasn’t done anything dramatic,” Anderson said, “I think maybe that’s a good thing.”

Small-plane collision kills at least 2 Two small airplanes collided above Alaska on Saturday, with one of the aircraft landing safely after the accident and the other crashing to the ground and burning, killing at least two people on board, authorities said.

The plane that crashed, a Cessna 180, was destroyed by the impact and subsequent fire, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor told The Associated Press. The second plane, a Cessna single-engine, was able to return to Anchorage International Airport and make an emergency landing after the collision near Trapper Creek.

Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters said that two or three people had died in the crash and that the state medical examiner’s office was determining the exact number of people on board when the plane went down.

All 163 jet passengers survive crash Flight 523 from New York had just touched down and passengers were applauding the pilot’s landing in the South American country Saturday when something suddenly went wrong.

The Boeing 737-800 slid off the end of a rainy runway, crashed through a chain-link fence and broke in half just short of a deep ravine. Yet all 163 people on board survived.

Officials were starting to probe the cause of the crash even as they marveled at the lack of fatalities.

“We must be the luckiest country and luckiest set of people in the world to escape so lightly,” said Health Minister Leslie Ramsammy, who said more than 30 people were taken to the hospital.

Call it a stimulus hangover.

In 2010, Lawrence’s real estate market started to show signs of life as tax credits for first-time homebuyers — part of the federal stimulus package — did boost sales.

But now as numbers for the first half of 2011 are released, it is clear that Lawrence’s real estate market is no longer stimulated.

“The stimulus created an artificial boost for awhile,” said Gary Nuzum, senior vice president of McGrew Real Estate. “We knew it would help us last year, but we also knew it was stealing buyers from us in future years. And it has. It is killing us right now. I never thought it would hurt us this much but it has.”

3 | LIBYA

NATO bombs state TV transmitters NATO warplanes bombed three Libyan state TV satellite transmitters in Tripoli, targeting a key propaganda tool that the military alliance said Saturday is used by Moammar Gadhafi’s government to incite violence and threaten civilians.

Libya’s rebel movement, meanwhile, appeared in disarray after the mysterious death of its chief military commander in a killing that some witnesses said was carried out by fellow rebel fighters who suspected him of treason.

The rebels’ political leader sought to dispel any notions of infighting Saturday and accused Gadhafi supporters of killing Abdel-Fattah Younis. He told reporters that the commander, who was Gadhafi’s interior minister before defecting, had not been suspected of treason but had been arrested after complaints he was mismanaging rebel forces.

4 | NORWAY

Bombing suspect mulled other targets The anti-Muslim extremist who confessed to a bombing and youth camp massacre that killed 77 people in Norway has told investigators he also considered attacking other targets linked to the government or the prime minister’s Labor Party, police said Saturday.

During a 10-hour questioning session Friday, Anders Behring Breivik asked interrogators how many people he had killed in the July 22 attacks and “showed no emotion” when they told him, police attorney PaalFredrik Hjort Kraby told reporters in Oslo.

The 32-year-old Norwegian has confessed to setting off a car bomb that killed eight people in downtown Oslo and then gunning down scores of youth from the left-leaning Labor Party at their annual retreat on an island northwest of the capital.

5 | JERUSALEM

Israelis protest high cost of living Tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets nationwide on Saturday to protest rising housing prices in the largest turnout in a grass-roots movement that began two weeks ago.

The protests over housing costs have tapped into wider discontent among Israelis over the high cost of living and the growing gaps between rich and poor.

Other protests include doctors striking over working conditions and pay, parents demonstrating against expensive child-rearing costs and similar outpourings over increasing gas prices.

Thousands thronged the streets of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other major cities and chanted, “The people demand social justice.” Protesters waved Israeli flags and placards that read: “work 3 jobs but don’t make ends meet,” “killing ourselves to live” and “social gaps are killing us.”

After a year’s preparation, local youths showed off their skills at the 4H Horse Show at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on Saturday morning.

Thirty-four members, ages 7 to 18, participated in this year’s show, said Darby Zaremba, one of the show’s superintendents.

Participants competed in four competitions. The show started at 9 a.m. with the halter competition, in which the handler leads the horse and shows off the horse’s build. Then participants compete in English and Western riding competitions. The competition ends with short-course races.

In addition to learning how to handle horses, Zaremba said 4-H teaches members lifelong skills, such as public speaking.

“It’s good for the kids; it gives them some responsibility,” she said. “It gives them confidence.”

Education supporters protest funding cuts at Capitol

Matt Wilson, a 13-year-old from Lawrence, competed with his horse, Scooter. His parents were both 4-H members, so Matt said it was a “nobrainer” to show horses. He said the club has been a positive experience.

TOPEKA — Several hundred supporters of public education on Saturday criticized state funding cuts to schools and sounded the alarm about Gov. Sam Brownback’s agenda.

Kathy Cook, executive director of Kansas Families for Education, said Brownback’s stated intention to cut the state income tax would reduce revenue available for education.

“Our schools would face cuts like they’ve never seen before,” Cook said to rally-goers outside the Capitol.

Brownback has said Kansas’ tax structure needs to be changed to attract more businesses and improve the economy.

House Minority Leader Paul Davis, DLawrence, said next year’s fight in the Legislature will be between “restoring cuts to education or tax cuts for big business.”

Since Brownback has taken office, base state aid to schools has been cut by $232 per student, bringing it to $3,780 per student, which is the lowest level since 1999. Brownback has defended his actions, saying they were necessary to balance the

Kansas tax revenues $23M more than expected in July

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Kansas collected $23 million more in tax revenues than it expected in July, and the release of the figures Friday intensified a partisan debate over spending cuts pushed earlier this year by Gov. Sam Brownback and fellow Republicans in the Legislature.

The state Department of Revenue reported that tax collections exceeded $437 million for the month, when the state’s official projection was $414 million. The surplus is 5.6 percent, and it was the fourth consecutive month that tax collections exceeded expectations.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said it’s a sign the state’s economy is growing, something also suggested by better-than-expected revenues from the state’s sales and individual income taxes.

For now, the surplus funds will bolster the state’s cash reserves, and that’s a sore point for many Democratic legislators. The budget for the current fiscal year, which began July 1, cuts overall state spending by 6.1 percent, and some Democrats questioned whether the reductions in the

“

The state is just piling more money into its bank account. We could have avoided some of these painful cuts.”

— House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence $13.8 billion spending plan needed to be so deep.

“The state is just piling more money into its bank account,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat. “We could have avoided some of these painful cuts.”

Davis is particularly upset because the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services is closing nine of its local offices, including one in his hometown, to trim its administrative spending.

Also, the state has reduced its base aid to public schools by $232 per student, or 5.6 percent, dropping the figure from $4,012 to $3,780.

Meanwhile, the state ended its last fiscal year on June 30 with $183 million in cash reserves. The $23 million surplus from July collections adds to the cushion.

state budget in tough economic times.

Mark Desetti, with the Kansas National Education Association, said Brownback and the Legislature have approved “20th century funding for a 21st century education.”

Brownback has also said he wants to overhaul the school finance system because it is frequently under legal challenge. School supporters at the rally said they didn’t see anything good coming out of that.

A group of Lawrence teachers attended the event.

Lori Greenfield, a fourthgrade teacher at Prairie Park School, said budget cuts are

COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION LOANS FOR HOUSING REHABILITATION The Community Development Division of the Planning and Development Services Department of the City of Lawrence has a limited amount of funds available for its comprehensive housing rehabilitation loan program. These loans may require monthly payments.

But Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag noted that guidelines in Kansas law — routinely circumvented in bad financial times — say the state should have ended the fiscal year with more than $425 million in cash reserves.

She said the ongoing uncertainty over what would happen if Congress doesn’t raise the federal government’s debt ceiling have shown the need to build the state’s cash reserves.

“We have a long way to go,” she said. “Whether it’s a natural disaster or the possibility of losing federal funds, Kansas must be prepared.”

But Brownback’s administration also is having internal discussions about rewriting tax laws next year, and the governor has said reducing individual income taxes is a goal because it’s a way to spur economic activity. Many Democrats believe his willingness to cut spending is tied to his desire to lower taxes.

“The issue for the next session is going to be, what are we going to do with this money?”

Davis said. “Are we going to restore some of the painful cuts that were made or is it all going to go to a large tax cut?”

“It’s all a numbers game versus being about the students,” she said.

David Reber, a biology teacher at Free State High School, said he was tired of public officials “undermining and acting against the interests of public education.”

He said what is happening in Kansas is part of a national trend by politicians on the right “to degrade public schools.”

Deena Burnett, president of the Lawrence Education Association and a teacher at

West Middle School, said people need to wake up.

“If we don’t get out of our homes and become vocal, everything will be privatized,” she said.

The rally was held in conjunction with similar events across the nation.

It was sponsored by Kansas Families for Education, Kansas NEA, and the American Federation of TeachersKansas. Representatives of several other unions showed support for the rally.

Stephens Real Estate, said the numbers look a little better when compared with 2009, when the tax credits were not in place. But still, this year’s totals are about 5 percent below totals from 2009, which most real estate professionals said was a historically bad year. “I think we’re down about 50 percent from our peak,�

Nuzum said of the number of homes being sold in the market. “Something has to happen in the economy to get people feeling comfortable with being homeowners again.�

The slowdown in home sales has had the predictable impact on home construction numbers. The city issued 59 single-family and duplex permits for the first half of 2011.

That’s down from 75 permits in the same time period a year ago. “That number is pretty discouraging,� said Bobbie Flory, president of the Lawrence Home Builders Association. “I can tell you that this downturn has lasted longer and has been deeper than most people in our industry anticipated.�

Kocour said July numbers do seem to be better than anticipated, and he said the market still has some good things going for it — namely interest rates. But Kocour said real estate agents are nervously watching the debt debate in Washington, D.C. There has been speculation that interest rates will rise either because the debt ceiling is not raised in a timely manner or because credit rating agencies downgrade U.S. debt. “But hopefully by Tuesday, they’ll have something in place,� Kocour said. “They better, anyway.�

Economy’s effects Local industry leaders are in agreement about what is needed to provide the market a sustainable boost: jobs.

LAWRENCE “There are a lot of people still on the sidelines out there, and it is certainly because of the economy,�

Kocour said. “Businesses that normally hire people aren’t doing that, and they aren’t moving people around right now either.�

Kocour said the trend in Lawrence does seem to be that work situations are causing more people to leave Lawrence than to move to the community.

On the building front, Flory said that national economists keep telling builders that there is good reason to believe the market will bounce back. In the meantime, the number of builders constructing homes in the city have dwindled to a “handful,� she said. “Nationally, we are told that there is all this pent-up demand that is going to burst at any minute,� Flory said. “The reality is that there are still children growing older and leaving home who need a place to live. A lot of people are putting a lot into the pentup demand theory.�

Here’s a look at some numbers from the first half of 2011: � Realtors have sold 551 homes, down from 742 a year ago. The category that is particularly taking a beating is sales of newly constructed homes. They are off almost 60 percent. A total of 34 newly constructed homes have been sold in the first half of 2011 � The average selling price of homes in Lawrence is up 2.4 percent from a year ago.

The average now stands at $182,058. The median price is $161,000. Real estate professionals said the higher prices are because there are far fewer homes being sold to f irst-time homebuyers, which tend to be lesser priced homes. Nuzum said many of the homes on the market are priced above $200,000. He estimated those homes are selling for at least 5 percent less than they were a year ago. â—? There are lots of houses on the market. In June, there were 1,030 homes on the mar-

ket. That’s up from 891 a year ago. � Homes are taking longer to sell. The average days a home sits on the market is now 100. That’s up from 81 last year. � The number of apartments being built in the city is on the rise. The city has issued permits for 126 apartment units. That’s up from 83 during the same time period of 2010.

Commercial projects There have been several large commercial projects started in Lawrence during the first half of the year.

Here’s a list of the 10 largest projects thus far: 1. Bowersock north bank power plant: $11.3 million.

2. Comfort Inn & Suites, 150 N. Iowa: $3.3 million.

3. Wastewater treatment plant improvements, 1408 E. Eighth St.: $3.1 million.

4. Crossgate Casitas apartments, 2451 Crossgate Drive: $2.1 million.

5. Hy-Vee renovation, 3405 Clinton Parkway: $2 million.

6. Northwind Apartments, 200 N. Mich.: $1.3 million.

7. Single-family dwelling, 1716 Lake Alvamar Drive: $1.1 million.

8. PKV Dental Offices, 530 Folks Road: $1 million.

9. LMH information technology/ business health remodel, 325 Maine: $867,834.

10. Plastikon Industries remodel, 3780 Greenway Circle: $800,000.

In total, the city has issued permits for $49.8 million worth of projects. That’s up from $47.6 million during the same period last year. That puts the city on pace for about $100 million worth of projects in 2011. Here’s a look at how that $100 million pace compares with the amount of projects started in past years: � 2001: $152.2 million � 2002: $141.5 million � 2003: $150.5 million � 2004: $117.7 million � 2005: $131.2 million � 2006: $171.4 million � 2007: $104.4 million � 2008: $146.4 million � 2009: $75.3 million � 2010: $101.8 million — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES Want to increase your chances of a quicker sale at a higher price? When it comes to real estate transactions, you need representation! A recent survey of 1,000 homeowners reports that of the 83% who used a real estate agent to sell their home, 60% were successful.

PUBLIC WORKS WORKERS SEFO VAEONO, RIGHT, and Kyle Young load up a couch Saturday as crews collected large trash items left on the curbside by apartment tenants along Kentucky Street.

Moving CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The sheer volume of trash, valuable or not, is evidence of the annual expiration of leases and required extra man hours from the city’s Solid Waste division.

Michelle Gundy, f ield supervisor, said workers cleared the entire Oread neighborhood and all the apartment complexes on Friday. She said the department anticipated the need for only one extra truck and did not expect Dumpsters to fill up again Saturday. Gundy normally works in the realm of recycling and said she hated to see all the usable furniture go to waste. “Thrift stores you can take stuff to,� she said. “The Habitat for Humanity ReStore takes a lot of building material and even furniture.�

Mattresses, speakers and other furnishings lined the curbsides near student housing areas. Higher-quality items were likely to be snatched up by opportunist “Dumpster divers.� The rest will be part of the estimated 75,000 pounds of garbage collected over this weekend.

Sanitation workers and residents weren’t the only ones busy. In fact, several businesses said the moving rush brings them the best business of the year.

Lawrence U-Haul Center, 540 Kasold Drive, was filled

with customers picking up trucks, dropping off storage trailers and buying moving supplies. Mike Morena, a customer service representative, said the store rented out all of its trucks, even after temporarily adding more to its fleet. He said some customers reserve trucks a year in advance.

Local contractors, like Gene Hadl, must rush to prepare houses for new tenants.

Hadl said this weekend is his busiest; this year, he has four houses to repair in only a few days. Sometimes the repairs are minor, Hadl said, while other times he must fix houses that haven’t seen maintenance in years.

Linda Cottin, owner of Cottin’s Hardware and Rental, 1832 Mass., also said the end of July brings her the most business. She said residents and landlords alike visit the store for their last-minute maintenance needs. “It’s like Christmas here,�

Cottin said.

Andrew Parent, a Kansas University student from Chicago, said he planned on touching up his apartment to avoid losing his deposit, equal to a month’s rent. But before he could do that, he had to finish moving into his new house on Tennessee Street. A neighbor lent him a truck, and with the help of his parents, Parent said he hoped to finish Saturday before temperatures got hotter today. — Reporter Chris Hong may be reached at 832-6354.

Poverty CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

poverty level — about $14,000 for a couple.

That’d just about cover the mortgage, but not much else.

Add in some unfortunate events — such as health problems — and a couple like the Cokers barely have a chance in today’s economy.

‘Black cloud’ On a recent weekday, Roy hobbled around his home as he and Dodie prepared for their second visit to the food bank.

“It was a rough night,” said Roy, referring to another sleepless evening, because of a hernia on his left side that needs surgery.

He popped another pain pill and steadied himself for the trip to the Just Food pantry. They’ve already received their allotted monthly bag of food from the pantry, but they can stop by whenever they need to, to pick up fresh produce and bread.

The financial troubles the couple face trickled in, culminating with a bankruptcy filing last year. The troubles are now showering down on them, threatening their home and mental stability.

“Nothing’s working out right,” Roy said.

Roy had worked for Kmart Distribution Center for 22 years, but lost that job earlier this year.

He found part-time work as a stocker at a local business, making $9 an hour. He worked there for about a month, but during one of his shifts in June, Roy lifted some boxes and felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Off work for two days, his employer sent him to the worker health clinic the company participates in at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Doctors told him he had a hernia and would need surgery.

His employer has 90 days through workers’ compensation laws to determine whether the injury was jobrelated, leaving Roy in a painful holding pattern. The Cokers have health insurance from his past job through COBRA, but that will run out by the time the 90 days is up in August. So, Roy waits for the medical treatment and isn’t able to work. He said he’s skeptical about what the determination of the workers’ compensation claim will be. He said his employer has repeatedly brushed off his phone calls.

Priority No. 1 for the couple, Dodie said, is Roy’s health.

“He needs to get that operated on,” said Dodie, who has health problems of her own.

She had a hysterectomy earlier this year because of the discovery of some precancerous cells. She recovered, but a few weeks ago some friends, aware of the couple’s struggles, offered to take her to a movie to cheer her up. At the movie, Dodie slipped, breaking her elbow and spraining her ankle.

“There’s a black cloud over my head,” she said.

Since the injury, she’s been off work from her part-time job at Children’s Learning Center. Despite her injuries, she’ll be going back to work soon, and said her employer has made arrangements to accommodate her injuries.

At this point, the couple need “some money coming in,” she said.

Dodie receives nearly $800 a month in retirement from a previous job. Roy isn’t bringing in any income. Even with Dodie working part time, it’ll be difficult to cover the $1,100 monthly mortgage. Then there’s the medical bills, piling up on their kitchen table.

Going to the mailbox is now a dreaded daily chore.

Between the two of them, they’ve racked up thousands in medical bills.

Not alone It’s unknown how many families like the Cokers are at risk of losing their home locally or across the country.

But the numbers hint that the Cokers are probably joined by millions of other Americans.

The causes are wide, varied and systemic, Beegle said, citing high unemployment, the housing and credit crunch, and few safety nets for people in the Cokers’ situation.

The Cokers were unable to make their mortgage payment for the first time in June, and there doesn’t seem to be any program out there to fill that gap. Roy has insurance on the home that could lower his payment temporarily in case he is injured at work, but his employer has refused to fill out the paperwork, he said.

In visits to social service agencies, they’ve found no quick fix. There are some programs available, but the couple doesn’t seem to fit neatly into any of the criteria for housing assistance.

Charlotte Knoche, director of housing assistance for the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority, spoke about some options for the couple, such as rental assistance — if the couple lose their home — for people over age 50. The problem: a ninemonth to two-year waiting list.

Many of the available programs are also small in scale, such as utility assistance and

housing rehabilitation, said Margene Swarts, city of Lawrence community developer manager and coordinator of the Community Commission on Homelessness.

But large-scale assistance isn’t as available, making homelessness a real threat for people like the Cokers.

“I hear more and more about how many homeless families we see,” Swarts said.

In Douglas County, the number of home foreclosures — what the Cokers hope to avoid — has skyrocketed. In 2006, there were 84 homes in Douglas County auctioned because of foreclosure. In 2010, that number jumped to 214.

Sally Bartlett, supervising case manager at the Lawrence Community Shelter, said the shelter sees a few families who are homeless for the first time. With the current economic climate, Bartlett said, there’s a real concern that more will follow in coming months and years.

While Kansas and Douglas County have kept unemployment rates below national numbers, the area has seen a marked increase since May 2006, when the rate was 3.4 percent. In May of this year, the unemployment rate was 5.7 percent.

Roy doesn’t expect to return to his job stocking, as the hernia has already showed him the work is probably too much for his age. When he’s healthy, he’s hoping to find work somewhere, anywhere, he said.

Waiting game Until Roy hears back about the workers’ compensation claim, he has no income. He can’t work until the hernia is fixed, which can’t be done until the claim is settled.

He’s sold his truck. He and Dodie now share her 2006 Toyota Camry.

They’ve told few friends or family about their economic troubles.

“I’m embarrassed,” Dodie said.

She and Roy are still trying to come to grips with needing help.

“I’d rather be a giver than a taker,” Roy said.

Recently, a neighbor gave Roy $100 to help pay the utility bills. They didn’t want to accept the gift, but had no choice.

“You do what you have to do,” said Dodie, who talked about one day — when they’re back on their feet — donating to the food pantry that has helped them. “I’m grateful for what’s out there.”

After taking out two mortgages, the couple are in a tough position with their home.

They owe about as much as it’s worth. At this point, they’ve considered walking away from the home and downsizing to an apartment — something they talk about reluctantly.

Roy talked about all the work he’s put into the house the past 17 years. Dodie talked about raising their kids in the house.

“This is my home,” she said.

Dodie will soon be eligible for Social Security retirement benefits, which she plans to take early at age 62, rather than waiting for the larger monthly payment she could receive at 67.

While they wait, they try to stay positive.

“For a week, (losing the home) is all we talked about,” Dodie said. “It’s driving me crazy.”

Roy said he’s been overwhelmed by the anxiety, sending him into depression — made worse by the waiting. Between the two, Roy is more pessimistic about their prospects, and has called the Lawrence Community Shelter to find out if there’s room for the couple.

“That’s reality,” he said.

Dodie, on the other hand, keeps saying she’ll do whatever it takes to get back on their feet.

When she hears Roy talk about losing the house and moving into a shelter, Dodie says, “Not if I can help it.”

U.S. default on minds of Kansas officials

By John Milburn Associated Press Writer

T O P E K A — State officials have been bracing for the financial implications on Kansas if the federal government fails to raise the debt ceiling by Tuesday.

How much money would be lost or delayed and the impact on government programs is unclear, but agency officials said they are expecting at least some delays in the availability of funds.

Gov. Sam Brownback told The Associated Press that state officials haven’t yet identified any specific programs that would have to be shut down or curtailed. But he said he’s asked agencies to identify where they’re most dependent on federal funds.

“That’s what I’m saying to our folks — let’s prepare,” he said.

Brownback, a former Republican U.S. senator, said he and officials in his administration have been discussing for months what they see as the likelihood that the state will receive far less federal funds going forward.

What isn’t clear is how failure to increase the federal debt limit would impact services for the disabled, low-income residents or Kansas students preparing to head back to classes in the coming weeks.

Funds for providing services Some state agencies have requested additional federal funds to tide them over if Congress and President Barack Obama fail to reach an agreement by the Tuesday deadline.

Rachel Witten, spokeswoman for the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, said the agency typically draws down $1.5 million daily from federal sources.

The agency requested permission from the governor and the Department of Administration to seek an additional $15 million ahead of Tuesday’s deadline.

Witten said the additional funds would give Kansas a

Planned vote on debt deal today offers hope

two-week cushion should federal spending be halted.

Kansas received good news in July that it collected $23.3 million more in tax revenue than anticipated, giving the state additional funds to keep providing services.

Impact on Medicaid Medicaid payments, about $1 billion in the current year, are administered by a division of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

“We won’t know the impact on Medicaid providers until a decision has been made by Congress and the president,” said KDHE spokeswoman Miranda Myrick. “While we’re watching this closely and considering our contingency plan, we do not want to speculate.”

Brownback said he’s confident that the federal government will have funds to pay its debt, but the issue will be how it manages its cash flow going forward.

Higher ed officials waiting The debt crisis also is weighing on the minds of state university officials as the fall semester approaches.

“We’re obviously concerned and so are our students,” said Larry Moeder, director of admissions and student financial assistance at Kansas State University.

Moeder said the university is letting students know that there is a lot of time before classes start Aug. 22 and the situation could all be resolved.

Seventy percent of Kansas State’s students receive some level of financial aid, either grants, loans or scholarships totaling $200 million.

Dale Dennis, deputy commissioner of education, said school districts could draw on reserve accounts to offset a loss of federal funds. The state Department of Education distributes between $5 million and $7 million in summer months to schools, a figure that can increase to as much as $28 million to $30 million in peak months of the school year.

W A S H I N G T O N — With the deadline for a debt limit increase inching perilously closer, Congress remained deadlocked late Saturday night over how to avoid a crisis as both houses spent the day publicly mired in often tart, even defiant partisan votes and rhetoric.

Privately, however, the White House was talking to leaders of both parties, and there appeared to be enough hope for an accord that a planned vote to cut off debate on a Democratic measure was abruptly postponed until later today. It had been scheduled for midnight this morning.

“There are many elements to be finalized, and there is still a distance to go before any arrangement can be completed,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Saturday night.

“But I believe we should give everyone as much room as possible to do their work.”

Reid, D-Nevada, said he had spoken to the White House “quite a few times this evening.”

The dramatic end to the Senate’s long day capped hours of ups and downs as lawmakers and the White House worked to break the impasse over raising the nation’s debt limit. Negotiators were stuck over how to increase the limit in stages.

The $14.3 trillion debt limit must be increased by Tuesday. If it isn’t, it puts the federal government at risk of default, which could trigger panic in financial markets worldwide and perhaps plunge the U.S. economy back into recession.

Just four hours before Reid offered his cautious optimism late Saturday, he and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell dramatically illustrated the tension, and the high stakes, with an unusually sharp, personal clash over the outlook for compromise.

“

“

There are many elements to be finalized, and there is still a distance to go before any arrangement can be completed.”

We have now, I think, a level of seriousness with the right people at the table we needed. ... We’re going to get a result.”

— Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada

— Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky

“The process has not been moved forward during this day,” Reid said after he and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., met with President Barack Obama for nearly 90 minutes.

But House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told a news conference he was “confident that we’re going to be able to come to some agreement with the White House and end this impasse.”

And McConnell said that he spoke to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday afternoon, and added that “we are now fully engaged, the speaker and I,” with Obama.

“Our country is not going to default for the first time in history,” added McConnell, R-Kentucky. “We have now, I think, a level of seriousness with the right people at the table we needed. ... We’re going to get a result.”

Reid, with fellow senators huddling around him, standing and watching intently, took to the Senate floor to dispute McConnell’s account with a harsh tone rarely used to discuss the opposition’s tactics in the genteel Senate.

Reports a deal could be close are “not true,” Reid said.

With McConnell standing a few feet away, Reid charged the GOP leaders were “holding meaningless press conferences.”

And, Reid said, “I just spent two hours with the president, the vice president and the agreement is not (coming

together) in a meaningful way.

The Republicans still refuse to negotiate in good faith.”

McConnell swung back, saying, “I think we’ve got a chance of getting there. What I think is not helpful is the process we’re going through here on the Senate floor.”

Earlier Saturday, the Republican-run House of Representatives voted 246173 to reject a new Reid plan that would reduce deficits by more than $2.2 trillion over 10 years and raise the debt limit in three stages.

• Lose 2-5 pounds per week!

• Dramatically Increase Your Fat Burning Metabolism!

• Doctor Developed Program!

• No Strenuous Exercise!

The Senate debated the Reid proposal throughout the day Saturday, and will vote this afternoon on whether to cut off extended debate. Sixty votes are needed.

But even though McConnell originally proposed the three-stage plan to raise the debt limit, he wouldn’t back Reid’s measure. A spokesman said that McConnell had never liked the plan but offered it as a last resort.

Some Republicans said they could probably accept some version of the Reid plan, and senators from both parties were trying to craft bipartisan deals.

The proposal would allow Obama to increase the debt limit by $2.4 trillion in three steps. The first increase of $416 billion, presumably enough to last through September, would come immediately. The next increase of $784 billion would go into effect unless Congress disapproved.

The final amount, $1.2 trillion, would probably be considered early next year, and would also go into effect unless Congress rejected it.

Chamber changes Finding a dynamic CEO who will stay in the office for more than a few years would be a big benefit for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

H

istorically, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has played a key role in the business and civic life of Lawrence, but it is hard to maintain that position in the community without stable leadership.

Tom Kern announced his resignation last week to take a job as chamber CEO in Steamboat Springs, Colo. He was the third CEO hired by the Lawrence chamber since the departure of Gary Toebben in 1999.

Toebben’s 18-year tenure in Lawrence was unusually long in chamber circles, but having three different CEO’s in the last 12 years hasn’t been a plus for the Lawrence Chamber. No matter how qualified or skilled the people in that office are, it takes a while to get to know Lawrence and understand the community, and it’s difficult to undertake any significant initiatives before building rapport and confidence in the community.

It’s hard for the chamber to be a “player” in Lawrence when the organization’s key leadership face keeps changing.

Although the role of the Lawrence Chamber has changed somewhat in recent years, it still is a primary leader for economic development efforts in the city and county. City Commissioner Mike Dever is right when he says, “We don’t have any time to lose. We don’t have any extra breathing room on our economic development efforts.”

Many factors, not the least of which is the sagging state and national economy, have contributed to a period of slow economic growth in Lawrence for the last several years. The city is losing retail dollars to other communities and has struggled to compete with other nearby cities to attract major new employers.

If the Lawrence Chamber wants to remain at the forefront of these efforts, it needs to find a new CEO who, as Dever said, “is going to be ready to run right out of the gates.” Dever also noted that person needs to be “somebody who understands the way our community operates both politically and technically.” That suggests that an existing connection to Lawrence might be a more important qualification for the job than extensive chamber of commerce experience.

The city already has deemed it necessary to create its own position to guide Lawrence’s economic development efforts. Without some strong, hopefully stable, new leadership, the chamber is in danger of becoming increasingly marginalized as a component of the city’s economic development team.

We wish Kern well as he heads to his new job in Colorado, and we wish the volunteer leaders in the Lawrence Chamber well as they prepare to hire a new CEO. They, more than anyone, would like to find a new CEO who will be a positive and dynamic leader for the chamber for many years to come. We hope they are successful in their search.

After a little hesitation he said also that he had done the same thing at McLouth, Kan., a week ago. He refused to talk at any great length, and the attorney was unable to get more than a confession from him.”

Politics hampering American greatness Memo to Washington: You have no idea how bad you look right now.

And another thing: No one will emerge as a winner from this debt-ceiling debate and debacle.

Not the president, who sought to grab the high ground of compromise last week by portraying his plan as “shared sacrifice” and who sought to take a populist profile by describing the debtceiling crisis as one manufactured by Washington.

Not the House speaker, who is visibly pained by the pressures he is feeling from both old guard and tea party Republicans, and who sought refuge last week in criticizing the president as intransigent.

Not the House freshmen, who in hewing to principle are at odds with the principles of the American system.

Not the liberal fire-eaters, who in seeking to preserve entitlement programs exactly as they are written today refuse to see that those very programs have changed as the nation’s prosperity and priorities have changed.

Everyone knows this standoff is one of the signature tests of the time — more significant than the government shutdown of 1995, which occurred in peacetime and during relative prosperity.

Everyone knows that the truth laid bare in this festival of folly isn’t that Americans are unwilling to pay the costs of their lifestyle, but that the political class is unwilling to serve the broad interests of the majority of Americans who sent their representatives to the capital to do the nation’s business, not to engage in rhetorical and economic funny business.

Everyone knows that the president and Congress have diminished themselves in the public’s eye and around the world.

David Shribman dshribman@post-gazette.com

… the political class is “unwilling to serve the

broad interests of the majority of Americans who sent their representatives to the capital to do the nation’s business, not to engage in rhetorical and economic funny business.”

At the heart of this display of self-righteousness and selfishness is a series of misperceptions by people who, sadly, pride themselves on being accurate gauges of the public’s interests, if not always the public interest.

The Washington drama is, in fact, superb drama. At the center are two relatively new faces, Barack Obama and John Boehner, and a new political force, the tea party, and together they’re in one of history’s high noons. One side believes desperately that it is guarding the interests of the poor and the vulnerable. The other side believes just as devoutly that it is standing on the ramparts of freedom and guarding the integrity of the economy. They both stand at the extremes and speak of their concern for the middle.

Historians likely will look back on this crisis with wonder, asking how the two parties could have

fiddled with public opinion while Washington’s reputation, and bond rating, smoldered. They may conclude that this sorry episode was the manifestation and not the cause of the rot at the heart of the political system in this period. They will argue that the exhausting swings in public sentiment — a deeply conservative president from Texas repudiated by a liberal president from Illinois, who himself was repudiated by a grass-roots rebellion with tea leaves in its DNA — doesn’t show a public unwilling to make up its mind, but instead displays an electorate unhappy with everybody and willing to punish anybody who is in office. It is not Democrats who won in 2008 and Republicans who prevailed in 2010, but incumbents who lost in both.

The clash of Summer 2011 is largely the result of twin factors: Obama believed in 2009 he had a mandate for his own ideas, rather than understanding he was the beneficiary of public impatience with George W. Bush. Boehner may not have believed this winter that the public had given a mandate to the tea party rebels, but he felt the survival of his speakership required him to act as if he did, even if the GOP victory of 2010 came largely because the Republicans were lucky enough to be out of office when the public rebellion flared again.

The two questions for our time — two questions that cannot be answered by politicians or journalists but rather are left to historians and political scientists — are these: ● Why did the Republicans’ loss in 2008 strengthen them while the Democrats’ victory weakened them? ● Given that both Obama and the tea partiers triumphed on the strength of being seen as depar-

tures from an unresponsive political establishment, why could they not convert their visions into mainstream popularity, or even unite their own parties?

Of course, it is perfectly plausible that the fault, to reverse the Cassius calculus from Julius Caesar, is not in themselves but in their stars.

These political players — Obama, Boehner, the tea partiers — came of age at a time when the velocity and passions of the new media of the 21st century were completely out of synch with the leisurely, deliberative institutions of a political system created with the Enlightenment values of the 18th century, before “friend” was a verb and when people of the president’s race were counted as three-fifths of a person. Their ascendancy coincided with, and was the result of, the ascendancy of well-funded interest groups that bolster their treasuries by ever more aggressive appeals to the extremes. They are politicians who cannot afford to alienate the groups that support them but which foster political division.

More than 170 years ago Richard Henry Dana Jr. embarked on a great sea voyage he chronicled in “Two Years Before the Mast.” At one point he looked at this country of vast riches and wondered if it possessed men worthy of them. “In the hands of an enterprising people,” he wrote, “what a country this might be!”

In all times, but especially this fraught time, political genius consists in repudiating Bismarck’s view that politics is the art of the possible. It is in finding a way to expand the notion of what is possible. If the political class can figure out how to do that, what a country this might be.

Key questions

Drug war finds new opponents There was a quake last week, but you likely didn’t feel it.

See, this particular quake was not of the Earth, involved no shifting of the planetary crust. No, what shifted was a paradigm, and the implications are hopeful and profound.

On Tuesday, you see, the NAACP passed a resolution calling for an end to the War on Drugs.

Said NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous in a written statement, “These flawed drug policies that have been mostly enforced in African-American communities must be stopped and replaced with evidence-based practices that address the root causes of drug use and abuse in America.”

Here’s why this matters — or, more to the point, why it matters more than if such a statement came from Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. The NAACP is not just the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. It is also its most conservative.

That word is used here not in the modern sense of tea party antics or Fox “News” rantings but, rather, in the original sense, denoting a propensity toward caution and a distrust of the bold, the risky, the new. And that’s the NAACP all over.

Let the Universal Negro Improvement Association go back to Africa. Let the Nation of Islam preach black supremacy. Let the Congress of Racial Equality launch Freedom Rides.

The NAACP went to court.

Yes, the comparison is simplistic, but it’s essentially apt. Nor is the

apparent: You cannot jail people out of wanting what they want. But, you just might be able to treat and educate them to that purpose.”

Prize-winning columnist; and the late William F. Buckley Jr., founder of the National Review.

And why not? By now, two things should be neon obvious where the Drug War is concerned.

The first is that it failed. Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, an advocacy group, reports that after 40 million arrests and a trillion dollars spent to fight drug use, the number of those who have used drugs is up 2,800 percent since 1970.

The second is that it has come down like a hammer on the AfricanAmerican community while leaving the white community, which does most of the buying, selling and using of drugs in this country, unscathed. The Sentencing Project, another advocacy group, reports that while two-thirds of regular crack users are white or Latino, better than 80 percent of those sentenced in federal court for crackrelated crimes are black. That is absurd, obscene and unjust.

It is time to concede what has long been apparent: You cannot jail people out of wanting what they want. But, you just might be able to treat and educate them to that purpose. Granted, that will require a paradigm shift some of us will find difficult to get our heads around.

But if the NAACP can do it, you and I have no excuse.

To the editor: Thanks to Christine Metz for her series of articles on the diversion of federal funds from the Efficiency Kansas loan program. Three questions still need to be answered.

1. Why did the state and Department of Energy suddenly pull the rug out from under the stakeholders in a functioning program without giving them a chance to be heard?

2. Why did they jerk away nearly all the money now, in July, instead of leaving enough to keep the program going until the April 1 deadline?

3. How can this money be spent on the new projects by April 1 if they first have to do environmental reviews?

For the most part, the money is being diverted to corporations tinkering with biomass fuels. These fuels, especially ethanol, are known to yield minimal net energy gains.

There’s an odor lifting off this deal, and it’s not from all that manure they will be stirring around with taxpayer money.

Craig Volland, Kansas Sierra Club, Kansas City, Kan.

Safety steps To the editor: New traffic calming road bumps and crosswalks will make it safer for students and other pedestrians to cross the street on West Campus Road near Carruth O’Leary and across 11th Street at the north end of West Campus Road.

Thanks to city staff, Kansas University staff and the residents of the West Hills neighborhood for coming together to make this happen.

Westar reports record electricity demand TOPEKA — Westar Energy says the demand for electricity during the summer heat has reached record levels.

The Topeka-based electrical utility also said Friday it was establishing field offices to help customers struggling to pay rising bills.

Westar said in a news release that its systemwide peak reached a record level Wednesday, another day of 100-plus degree temperatures across Kansas. The company said its peak production was estimated at 5,563 megawatts, which is 1.6 percent higher than the previous peak of 5,474 megawatts produced last year.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the company says its power plants and delivery grid have so far met the challenge of increased demands.

Morning Teleportation Portland, Ore., band Morning Teleportation stops by the Jackpot, 943 Mass., and fans of upbeat, dynamic pop music should take notice because that's exactly the type of music the band creates. Finishing a tour that will put them right back in their hometown, the band sounds like a less polished version of The Sea and Cake with Sam Prekops smooth vocals replaced with a far rougher, but more immediately engaging delivery via Tiger, the band's frontman. The manic "Just a Figment" transforms into three different songs during its near seven-minute runtime. But throughout all of the band's sonic meanderings, they maintain a basic dedication to entertainment.

In other words, they never sound boring, even if you don't necessarily love what they're doing at that exact moment. Tonight's show starts at 9 p.m. and is for people 18 and older.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENSIVE END TOBEN OPURUM SMILES AS THE JAYHAWKS STRETCH OUT in this April 18 file photo at the KU practice fields.

Opurum, once atop KU’s depth chart at running back, enters the fall as the unquestioned leader at defensive end.

Versatile Opurum solidifies spot along defensive line

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Two years ago, Kansas University’s Toben Opurum finished the season at the top of the football team’s depth chart at running back.

Opurum, then a freshman from Plano, Texas, who had been recruited by Notre Dame and was the No. 3-rated fullback in the country according to Rivals.com, led the team in yards and touchdowns and, without question, was in position to be a four-year starter and KU’s running back of the future.

JAYHAWKS ADD WR Kansas University’s football team added a 6-foot-7 wide receiver who played two years for the University of Arkansas. Story on page 3B. That all changed when the coach who recruited Opurum to KU departed and in to replace him came Turner Gill. Gill gave Opurum a crack at running back but decided to move him to defense, first to linebacker and then defensive end.

Twenty-four wild and wacky months later, Opurum finds himself back at the top of KU’s depth chart and sits unanimously atop the Journal-World and KUSports.com’s rankings of this team’s defensive ends.

Moving guys to different positions has a way of evening itself out. Sometimes the move is a home run and a player becomes a stud at his new spot. Other times, the gamble flames out and thoughts of what could have been are all that remain.

While it’s too early to say for sure how the Toben Opurum Story will end, Gill and the rest of

NEW KANSAS CITY QUARTERBACKS COACH JIM ZORN, LEFT, WORKS with quarterbacks Ricky Stanzi (13) and Matt Cassel on Saturday in St. Joseph, Mo.

ST. JOSEPH, MO. — Andy Studebaker takes off his sweat-stained practice jersey and tosses it onto a pile. At 6-foot-3, 250 pounds, Kansas City’s fourth-year linebacker looks as solid as those cars his family used to make.

With Mike Vrabel retiring to the Ohio State coaching staff, Studebaker is the No. 1 candidate to take his starting outside linebacker spot as Scott Pioli and Todd Haley continue their patient process of building the Chiefs into Super Bowl contenders.

Just because he has been

groomed for the job for two years, Studebaker doesn’t expect any favors.

“Just because one guy’s gone, that doesn’t mean the organization is going to hand you a starting job on a silver platter,” said Studebaker, the 203rd player taken in the 2008 draft. “They’re not going to, and I don’t want them to.”

Another big change at Arrowhead Stadium this year will be on the offensive line, where secondyear man Jon Asamoah will get first crack at filling the big shoes of five-time Pro Bowl guard Brian Waters.

Walkoff home run sinks Royals CLEVELAND (AP) — Matt LaPorta’s big swing in the ninth inning wasn’t the only drama from the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.

After LaPorta’s two-out, threerun homer beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-2, to move Cleveland within 11⁄2 games of the AL Central lead, the Colorado Rockies announced that they traded right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez to the Indians for four minor-leaguers.

“We’re still struggling offensively, but this was a big win,”

“Those people who have been booing (LaPorta) are cheering tonight,” Acta said. “We need him big-time. He’s still developing, though.”

College basketball recruiting notebook. ...

Two nearly identical blue-chip backcourt players in the Class of 2013 — one headed to Kansas University and the other with KU on his list of prospective schools — played well at the KC Prep Invitational held Thursday through today in Shawnee. ● Kansas City Pump N Run’s Conner Frankamp, ranked No. 65 nationally by Rivals.com, orally committed to KU on July 16. The 6foot-1 , 160pound junior point guard/shooting guard from Frankamp Wichita North chose KU over Oklahoma, Texas, UCLA, Kansas State, Missouri and others. ● Wisconsin Playground Warriors’ Bronson Koenig, ranked No. 66 nationally, tells Rivals.com analyst Clint Jackson that co-leaders Wisconsin and North Carolina lead Duke, while KU has Koenig faded. The 6foot-2, 170-pound combo guard averaged 17 points a game last season for LaCrosse (Wis.) Aquinas High. Frankamp went for 27.2 ppg at Wichita North.

It would make sense if KU has “faded” a bit for Koenig, considering it’s highly unlikely the Jayhawks would bring in such similar players in the same class.

Both are known as deadly threepoint shooters and have been compared to fiery former KU guard Kirk Hinrich.

Koenig — he also has Indiana, Marquette, Michigan State, Minnesota and Virginia on his list — told the LaCrosse Tribune that Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski offered him a scholarship Tuesday.

“Apparently, he offered me, but I didn’t even know it,” Koenig said. “He called my AAU coach and said he offered me and that I didn’t sound very excited about it. He must have said it in a weird way.”

“I mean, I’m handling it,” Koenig told cbssports.com, referring to the recruiting process. “I’m not very good at it yet. But I’m trying to get better.”

Frankamp, by the way, told the Journal-World on Thursday that life has been good since committing to KU. “I’m happy, and everything is going well. It’s time to relax (before school starts),” noted Frankamp, who, after committing, went on to be named MVP at the adidas Super 64 in Las Vegas.

Chiefs opened their three-week training camp.

“It was good to get out there and work with the 1’s,” he said.

“It’s a good feeling.”

It will also be different for Chiefs coaches and fans who are used to seeing Waters and Vrabel so capably handling their assignments on the field.

But as Pioli said shortly after he became the Chiefs’ general manager in 2009, “Change is the only constant in the NFL.” ● For the Chiefs this year, there’s Duke flap: Duke and the also change in the coaching staff.

Colts lock up Manning for five years, $90M INDIANAPOLIS (AP)— Peyton Manning has a new long-term deal in time to report to training camp.

He still hasn’t been cleared to practice.

Colts owner Jim Irsay said he was “thrilled” to sign the only four-time MVP in league history to a deal that will likely keep him in Indianapolis for the rest of his career. It’s a five-year contract for

$90 million with $69 million of that paid in the first three years, Irsay posted on his Twitter account.

“Signing Peyton was a top pri- Manning ority for this organization and we are thrilled

that the deal is complete,” Irsay said in a statement released by the team Saturday. “We feel that it is a salary cap friendly deal and it allows us more flexibility.”

Irsay and team president Bill Polian are scheduled to discuss the deal at a news conference this afternoon.

The deal comes nearly five months after the team used the

exclusive franchise tag to prevent Manning from negotiating with any other teams. Had Manning signed the one-year offer, he would have made $23.1 million this season.

By getting the long-term deal done, Manning’s salary-cap number will be reduced this season to $16 million, Irsay wrote, allowing the team to sign more of its own free agents.

COMMENTARY

No seismic shift, but still a shake-up

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

A college football fan recently rescued after two years on a deserted island — please play along here — was asked to make this year’s conference picks.

He liked Nebraska in the Big 12, Boise State to win the Western Athletic and Brigham Young and Utah to battle it out in the Mountain West.

Told those schools were no longer in those leagues, he quipped, “Whoa, next you’ll tell me Texas joined the Pac-10.”

No, but almost.

College football avoided (for now) the “Big Bang” cosmic conference shift, yet the Big Ten alone underwent so much realignment it could have split into the “Sciatica” and “Lower Lumbar” divisions.

Larry Scott, had thy will be done, you would have been commissioner of the soon-to-be Pac-16, the nation’s first “super conference.” Six Big 12 schools, including Texas and Oklahoma, would have been among the 16.

Scott’s grand maneuver failed but caused a chain reaction that would have made Sir Isaac Newton proud.

You can’t begin to tell this year’s college football story until you know where all the mascots landed.

The Pac-10 didn’t get Texas but added Colorado and Utah and is now the Pac-12.

The league split into divisions and will play a Dec. 2 championship game in the home stadium of the highest-seeded finisher.

USC and UCLA are in the South but still will play annually against Stanford and California, now in the North.

It’s going to be different. New member Utah got a huge housewarming gift by missing Stanford and Oregon on the 2011 schedule. Cal and Colorado are now conference mates but must play a “nonleague” game this year as part of a previously arranged contract.

The Big Ten, which used to have 11 teams, now has 12. It adds Nebraska, which bolted the Big 12, which went from 12 teams to 10, having also lost Colorado.

The Big Ten named its divisions “Legends” and “Leaders” before Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, who was on the “Leaders” side, was forced to resign in disgrace.

The Pac-12, which used to play a roundrobin schedule without a title game, has divided into six-team divisions. The Big 12, which used to have six-team divisions and play a title game, has switched to the round-robin format.

Brigham Young, formerly of the Mountain West, will go independent in football and ship its other sports to the West Coast Conference.

And this, believe it or not, is only the beginning.

Next year, Texas Christian will join the Big East Conference and three more WAC teams — Hawaii, Nevada and Fresno State — will move to the Mountain West.

And that might not even be the end of it. The Big 12 staved off extinction and has been nourished back to life, but it’s a very fractious coalition. Remaining members, Texas A&M in particular, see Texas’ new network deal with ESPN as nothing but a recruiting tool.

In other words, conference realignment may not be over.

Kim leads, Woodland in third at Greenbrier WHITE SULPHER SPRING, W.VA. — Anthony Kim shot an 8-under 62 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after the third round of the Greenbrier Classic.

Kim is at 10-under 130 on the Old White TPC course. Tour rookie Scott Stallings shot 66 to move into second place at 9 under. Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland (67) and Webb Simpson (69) are two shots back.

Simpson was the second round co-leader with Brendon de Jonge. De Jonge shot 72 to fall five strokes behind.

GOLF Browne up 2 at US Senior Open TOLEDO, OHIO — Unflappable Olin Browne fought off the heat to shoot a 65 and forge a two-shot lead over Mark O’Meara through Saturday’s third round of the U.S. Senior Open.

Browne, never a winner in his three years of competition since turning 50, set the tournament record for lowest score through 54 holes. After a record-tying 64 followed by a 69, he’s at 15-under 198.

Masson leads Women’s British CARNOUSTIE, SCOTLAND — Caroline Masson of Germany shot a 4-under 68 to double her lead to two strokes after the third round at the Women’s British Open on Saturday.

The 22-year-old Masson made three birdies in the front nine and three on the back to hold off a late charge from Yani Tseng. The topranked Taiwenese player closed within a shot at one stage after picking up five strokes in as many holes, including an eagle.

Three tied for Irish lead

Aviles was batting .222 with five home runs and 31 RBIs in 53 games with the Royals. He’s expected to fill a utility-infielder’s role with the Red Sox. Aviles spent part of the season at Triple-A Omaha and had been unhappy with his lack of playing time since being recalled July 20.

Navarro was hitting .216 in 16 games with the Red Sox. While Navarro will likely fill Aviles’ utility spot for the time being, his role could expand.

“He has a chance to be a good everyday player,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. “We got him for his upside in the bat. He’s 23 years old and he can play short, third and occasionally second.”

Rangers land Uehara from O’s The Texas Rangers got some needed help for their bullpen a day before the non-waiver trade deadline.

The AL West leaders acquired right-hander Koji Uehara from Baltimore on Saturday night, sending right-hander Tommy Hunter and infielder Chris Davis to the Orioles. The Rangers also received cash in the deal.

MLS Another tie for Sporting KC

CLEVELAND — The Indians acquired Ubaldo Jimenez from the Colorado Rockies to help them make a push for the playoffs.

The trade is contingent on the 2010 All-Star passing a physical.

Cleveland is sending to the Rockies righthanders Alex White and Joe Gardner and first baseman-outfielder Matt McBride, all minor leaguers, along with a player to be named.

CHICAGO — The Boston Red Sox acquired infielder Mike Aviles from the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, giving up infielder Yamaico Navarro and minor-league pitcher Kendal Volz in the trade.

KU adds 6-foot-7 WR J-W Staff Reports

Six-foot-7 wide receiver Neal Barlow, who played football at Arkansas for two years in 2009 and 2010 and then transferred to Arkansas-Little Rock to play basketball last season, will join the Kansas University football team, according to a report from Rivals.com.

“I’ve always had a good

relationship with the people at Kansas,” Barlow told Rivals.

“I knew there was a new staff and I was really encouraged when I found out coach (David) Beaty was back.”

Barlow originally gave an oral commitment to the Kansas football team in 2008 before changing his mind to go to Arkansas. After two years there, he gave up football because of a foot injury

and pursued his dream of playing basketball at the Div. I level.

Barlow, who hails from Little Rock, Ark., will join the Jayhawks as a walk-on and will have to sit out the 2011 season. He will have two guaranteed seasons of eligibility remaining and could earn a third by petitioning the NCAA for a medical redshirt.

shortage of options, but very few of those players have proven much during their time — short or long — at KU. Still, Opurum does not seem to be worried about the depth behind him.

“My teammates help me out every day,” Opurum said. “We watch film on every snap we take. My preparation has been really good, and my technique has improved a lot.”

Here’s a look at our list of top candidates to fill the role as KU’s “other defensive end” this season.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Yanks’ 12-run first dooms O’s The Associated Press

American League Yankees 8-17, Orioles 3-3 N E W Y O R K — Robinson Cano, Nick Swisher and the Yankees broke loose for 12 runs in the first inning of the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader, setting a franchise record en route to a rout of the Orioles on Saturday that completed a painfully embarrassing sweep.

Cano went 5-for-5 with five RBIs, a career high for hits, and Swisher smacked his second two-run homer of the day in the second game. Curtis Granderson added four hits for the Yankees, who roughed up both young pitching prospects called up from the minors to start for Baltimore.

New York opened a 15-0 lead after two innings, making it an easy night for Ivan Nova (9-4) in his return from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

In the first game, Swisher had three hits, including a tworun homer, and the Yankees backed Bartolo Colon (8-6) with plenty of production from the bottom of their lineup.

Longtime participants in Summer Youth Theater wrap up their experiences with ‘West Side Story’

By Margie Carr Special to the Journal-World

It’s the end of an era for three teenagers who are performing in the Summer Youth Theater’s production of “West Side Story” at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. The three — Hannah Foerschler, Jacob Leet and Eric Palmquist — have worked together at SYT productions for years, but now that they have graduated from high school, they must say goodbye to the theater company.

“I’ve been doing this since I was in kindergarten,” says Foerschler, who plays Riff’s girlfriend, Velma, in the most recent production. “My first play was ‘The Great Alphabet Mystery.’ I played the letter ‘L’ in the word ‘Milk!’”

She’s come a long way.

“Hannah is one of those truly amazing ‘good kids’ who does everything expected and then more — and is nice to everyone at the same time,” says SYT director Ric Averill, who adds that she shines as one of the jet girls.

A few weeks from now the Free State graduate will leave Lawrence to study music at Kenyon College in Ohio. “It’s going to be difficult coming home next summer and finding that I’m not doing theater.”

Another seasoned SYT performer, Eric Palmquist, who plays Bernardo in “West Side Story,” remembers the first

He has not missed an SYT performance since.

“Eric used to be such a boy’s boy — playing intently, acting with vigor, always loud, always strong...” says Averill.

BEHIND THE LENS

Check out tips to order reprints from the LJW

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

Most phone calls to the Journal-World photography department deal with questions regarding reprints of published images.

Yes, they are available. Any photograph credited to JournalWorld staff can be ordered as a reprint, whether printed in the newspaper or displayed online.

And if you aren’t already aware, many more photographs are posted online than in print. Costs vary depending on the image reprint size, print finish and whether you choose to have it framed. For example, an 8-by-10inch print with a matte finish would cost $15.95. The same size print, matted and framed in an 8by-10-inch frame, would cost an additional $10. The smallest size offered is wallet-sized, and the largest is 20-by-30-inches. All prices include shipping.

To order a reprint you first locate the photograph online at the Lawrence Journal-World.

There are several ways to navigate to a photograph. One is to go straight to the web address http://www2.ljworld.com/pho-

I recommend that if you can’t find an image using its print publication date, try searching previous days’ photo archives.” tos, or instead, go to the main page at LJWorld.com and scroll to the bottom. In the gray area, to the right of the heading Also online, select the first category Photos. This is the same page as the web address above. From this page you can now search photographs by year, month and day for date of publication. Here’s a tip. For images taken prior to 2010, you should start your search using the date of its print publication. After 2010 you can search the date an event occurred or the photo was taken. Because the Journal-World posts many stories and photos online on the day of origin, the print publication date may be different. I recommend that if you can’t find an image using its print publication date, try searching previous days’ photo archives.

Once you’ve located a photograph you wish to order, click on the image to make the image and any accompanying story the main page. Beneath the photograph at the far right, and next to the photographer’s name, you will see a blue Enlarge photo link. Click on that link, and the full, uncropped photograph will display. Again, go to the bottom right-hand corner and click on the blue Buy a print of this photo link. You will now be at the MyCapture Company order page, where you can select your reprint size and number of copies desired. Follow the directions to the next page where you can choose an appropriate cropping of the photograph based on the reprint size. After passing the “My Cart” page, displaying your order, you arrive at the secure checkout page where you can pay for your purchase using a credit card.

ter and older roles, wise and aged beyond his years.”

“My parents came to accept that this is how I was spending my summer,” says Palmquist, who will attend Iowa University next fall to study theater, and hopes he can return to Lawrence and work as an intern for Averill next summer.

Also hoping for an SYT internship next summer is Jacob Leet, who is headed off to Ottawa University to study music. Leet plays Tony in the weekend production.

Leet recalls an early SYT experience as a cast member of “My Fair Lady.”

“I felt really lucky to be with all these older kids. It was cool to be fresh out of eighth grade and to make friends with kids going off to college,” he says. “They seemed so old.”

Averill also remembers that production of “My Fair Lady”, because it was the first time he took note of Leet’s talent.

“I knew he could act prior to that production ... but when I heard (him) as the tenor in the quartet, and when he sang, the whole audience got very quiet and listened with rapt attention I knew then that we would see more of Jake and soon in some leading roles.”

“My Fair Lady” was also the show where Palmquist and Leet first became friends.

“We really hit it off,” says Leet, adding that he always looked forward to summers with SYT. “I never went into it thinking, ‘Oh, I’m going to do “Romeo and Juliet,” or whatever.’ Instead I’m thinking, ‘I get to do SYT. I am going to go back and see all those people again.’”

There’s a strength to the relationships that develop during SYT productions.

“They’re really intense because you spend all this time together,” Foerschler says.

Palmquist has been serious about his craft. He appreciates not only the friendships he has formed at SYT, but what he has learned from Averill.

“It’s interesting to watch how he is able to work with younger actors, teaching them how to behave on stage, and then turn around and give notes and direction to the adults.

“I’m really glad to have had a director I’ve grown up with,” Palmquist says.

“Hopefully he’s watched me mature as a person and as an actor.”

Last week the cast did their first full run through of “West Side Story.”

“I felt like it was the first day of the end,” Leet says. “It’s going to be hard to leave something like SYT.” While Eric says that he doesn’t want to think about “West Side Story” as his SYT swan song, he says he feels it “lurking” in his mind.

“I will miss the people,” Foerschler says, “especially Eric and Jacob. We have been good friends for a long time.”

Summer Youth Theater staff will also miss them.

“I love watching young actors grow from their initial fascination with being onstage to the point where they are clearly embodying a character and creating theater in the most professional way possible,” Averill says. “I consider myself very lucky to have worked with these students the past few years.”

Author looks at connection between art and violence

By Carolyn Kellogg Los Angeles Times

Emily Foster, Free State senior, Lawrence “’The Giver’ by Lois Lowry.

It’s pretty philosophical and intense.”

Christina Williams, retail, Lawrence “’Odd Thomas’ by Dean Koontz. It’s about a young man who is able to communicate with spirits and help them out, solving murders.”

Mark Miller, recording artist, Kansas City, Kan. “’The Inner Circle’ by Brad Meltzer. It’s just your typical mystery thriller.”

From a movie billboard in her Los Angeles neighborhood to the Italian Futurists, Maggie Nelson swings her lively gaze across a century’s worth of art and culture in “The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning.” The starting point for this study of violence and art is Antonin Artaud, the French playwright behind the “theatre of cruelty” who wrote that cruelty in art “signifies rigor, implacable intention and decision, irreversible and absolute determination.” Those ideas fascinate Nelson, but they don’t hold sway over her; she often brings up Buddhist thinking as a counterpoint, and she points out that Artaud, who died in an asylum in 1948, was both a failed dramatist and a notorious madman.

Madness aside, his cruel edge found traction in the avant-garde of the 20th century and beyond. Nelson sees it in the performance art of Chris Burden (who in 1971 had a friend shoot him in the arm), in the works of young video artist Ryan Trecartin and, again and again, in the paintings and approach of Francis Bacon. She sees it in other places as well, including the writing of Mary Gaitskill and Brian Evenson, the photographs of Abu Ghraib detainees and reality TV. Nelson weaves low culture and high culture together conversationally, so that Stephen Colbert and Bacon can appear in the same paragraph. She trusts that her audience — whoever the audience of an engaging work of cultural criticism might be — is already familiar with playwright Samuel Beckett, core cutting artist Gordon Matta-Clark, composer John Cage and performance artist

Nao Bustamante, providing only the barest sketches of their work.

Divided into short, thematic chapters — on imprisonment and captivity, for example — the book dives right into discussions of successful (and less successful) artistic works that hinge on cruelty.

And then it swiftly problematizes these discussions by adding contradictory thinkers and counter-examples, a clear rhetorical strategy. “True moral complexity is rarely found in simple reversals,” Nelson writes. “More often it is found by wading into the swamp, getting intimate with discomfort, and developing an appetite for nuance.”

Underlying these explorations is the idea that cruelty is linked to rupture, to revelation, even to revolution.

That art that seeks discovery will confront surfaces begging to be shattered, platitudes that demand piercing, attitudes that demand adjustment — and cruelty is the mechanism of breakage. Nelson links this both to our con-

temporary notions of scientific change — new theories are correct, replacing old theories that were wrong — and to Aristotle’s ancient idea of catharsis. And if you thought “catharsis” simply meant a purifying release of emotion or tension, Nelson digs into a translation of “Poetics” and parses the sentence, so that the emotions “pity and fear” can either be read as what is purged or what become the catalysts of purging.

As much as she admires Bacon, whose painting and writings she returns to as a touchstone, Nelson brings her deepest critical faculties to bear on performance art or art that is performed and filmed. Key to her are pieces that involve cruelty and (usually) the female body: Yoko Ono’s “Cut Piece” (1964), Marina Abramovic’s “Rhythm O” (1974), Catherine Opie’s “Self-Portrait/Pervert” (photograph, 1994). All these pieces involve violations of the body, and Nelson examines the contradictory layers of voyeurism, violation and empowerment. Opie’s

“ body squarely presents itself to us as bleeding, resilient, imperial, and desirous.”

This is criticism at its best: evocative, plainspoken, with an unwavering point of view.

As Nelson darts from artwork to artwork, using the lens of cruelty to shine her own particular light, there is a joy in both her conviction and her questions. She leaves, as only a confident intellectual can, space for contradiction and discussion. Yet that space may be just a little too wide. Nelson often stops short of making connections between her insights: Watching Ono’s piece as performed at Carnegie Hall in 1965, Nelson writes, “The surplus of contradictory emotions builds in slow motion toward the unbearable. Cut tape.”

Nelson taught a seminar in the art of cruelty at CalArts, where she is part of the criticism and creative writing faculty. At times, the gaps in the book feel like the building blocks of a syllabus, with space left for interaction, and juxtapositions designed to spark questions or even offense. This is effective pedagogy in the classroom, where, say, students might explore why she embraces Opie while finding the 1999 movie “Boys Don’t Cry” to be “ghastly.” On the page, however, there is only another paragraph break (cut tape).

This is a rhetorical stance, one that Nelson lays bare in the last chapter. She points out that within conflicting ideas, literary critic Roland Barthes suggested the Neutral, a quiet coexistence within a paradox. “Preserving space for such responses (as the Neutral) has been one of this book’s primary aims,” she writes. “Of equal importance has been making space for paying close attention, for recognizing and articulating ambivalence, uncertainty, repulsion, and pleasure.” The pleasures of “The Art of Cruelty” may be somewhat diminished by its looseness,

by Nelson’s reluctance to provide the continuity and connection a critic can.

Nonetheless, it is a vibrant and engaged work, from a writer and thinker who is worthy of our attention.

By Matthew Price Newsday

In “The Accidental Billionaires,” Ben Mezrich told the story of Mark Zuckerberg, a socially maladroit Harvard computer whiz who may or may not have stolen the idea of Facebook from a pair of strapping jocks (it was the basis for the movie “The Social Network”). Mezrich’s new book, “Sex on the Moon,” is also about a preternaturally bright young man, but one whose felonious pursuits are not in doubt. Thad Roberts was a NASA intern who decided to steal the moon — or portions of it, at least. In 2002, he and two fellow interns broke into a lab at the Johnson Space Center in Houston and managed to boost a 600-pound safe containing valuable moon rocks — worth up to $5,000 a gram — from the Apollo missions.

It was not a very wise move,

and landed him in jail for nearly eight years.

The best thing about this rather pointless book is its title, which will surely compel a few readers to give it a whirl. Mezrich writes about Roberts’ follies with a mixture of gee-whiz gusto and purplish pathos. Roberts comes off as a likable showoff, up to a point. A debt-ridden University of Utah student — raised in a strict Mormon household, he was booted from home when he confessed to having premarital sex — Roberts discovered his scientific vocation and won a highly competitive place in NASA’s Cooperative Education Program.

Like Harvard was for Zuckerberg, NASA becomes a proving ground for Roberts, a place to craft new versions of himself. At NASA, Mezrich writes, “he’d become this adventurous, impressive character — everyone knew who

he was, everyone wanted to be around him. And yet he knew, deep down, that it was partially an act. It was a reinvention, because deep down, he was this shy, messed-up kid who’d been kicked out of his house, who’d gotten married too young, who wanted to be an astronaut but probably would never have the chance.” His experiences at NASA are heady: He trains in the vast underwater pool that simulates outer space; he flies in a zero gravity plane. Seeming fantasies — a flirtation with a co-worker turns into a fullblown affair — become reality.

Why not steal moon rocks?

Roberts slowly hatches his plan and we hear, through Mezrich’s increasingly breathless ventriloquism, Roberts’ self-justifications.

He was broke. NASA considered these particular rocks to be “trash,” which didn’t quite make them useless for research, but in Roberts’

mind made them fair game.

He wanted to give his new love “a piece of the moon.”

Here, he presumed, was a victimless crime. The heist itself was relatively quick and easy: Roberts, using his cover as a “co-op,” entered the lab at night and nonchalantly wheeled the large safe to his getaway car on a dolly. Makes you wonder about security at U.S. government facilities.

It was a plan that couldn’t go wrong, but did.

The febrile nuttiness of Roberts’ scheme has its charms, but very few people saw it that way. NASA was not amused, even if its lax security was partly to blame.

Roberts, to his shock, was treated like a serious criminal.

In Zuckerberg, Mezrich found a potent symbol of the disconnect in our connected lives. The altogether slight misadventures of Thad Roberts offer no such revelation.

Exploring how ancient Rome built its Mediterranean empire

By Carl Hartman For The Associated Press

For ancient Romans, “Carthage Must Be Destroyed” had to be the wave of the future if they were to become the unrivaled masters of the Mediterranean and the lands on its shores. Look at a map.

Carthage, a colony of seagoing Phoenicians, was strategically on the Mediterranean’s south coast, halfway between its Middle East homeland and the entry to the Atlantic. It was building

an empire of its own, subjecting tribes in North Africa, Spain and the big islands of Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica.

The cry to destroy Carthage was taken up by Cato, one of Rome’s most respected senators. He got into the habit of using the slogan as the last sentence of any speech he made — no matter what he’d been talking about.

That disconcerting practice must have helped give Romans a case of the jitters when Hannibal, Carthage’s greatest general, mounted an invasion of Italy, complete with African

combat elephants. It went through Spain, southern France and the Alps, up to the gates of Rome. That invasion failed, but a Roman invasion of Carthage succeeded.

This is a scholar’s book. Author Richard Miles teaches ancient history at the University of Sydney, Australia, and writes here about events long past. He has to quote copiously from Greek and Roman historians, some of dubious reliability and little concern with today’s ideas of fairness and entertainment. The victorious

Romans got rid of Carthage’s own records, along with temples and other public institutions. The book has color photos of the ruins, made in a suburb of today’s Tunis.

Some of the stories are still teasingly attractive.

The elephants impressed people.

Smaller than the Asian variety, they may still have been able to carry archers, but they sometimes panicked and trampled on their own infantry, an ancient version of “friendly fire.”

By Michael Auchard Special to the Journal-World

Aiming for a bit of the silly and the sublime, the members of Wonder Fair, 803 1/2 Mass., have taken up residence in the Spencer Museum of Art’s bookstore, 1301 Miss.

The artists have modified the space, transforming it into a movie theater of sorts, complete with a popcorn machine, for the Our Tube Summer Viewing Program, a videographic mishmash of artistic styles and genres.

Total, the project will have four exhibition dates, the next being Thursday, with 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. showtimes. There will also be presentations Aug. 11 and Aug. 25 at the same times. Admission is free, but seating is limited.

Eric Dobbins, founder of Wonder Fair, says the group is excited to be working with the Spencer on this video project. He outlines this project as a rotating series of artistic techniques, with each of the collective’s four members trading disciplines for each show.

For each iteration of Our Tube, one Wonder Fair member, the curator of the show, finds a video off of YouTube to present.

Then another group member creates a reimagined version of the video, drawing upon personal experiences. A third member critiques the original video clip seriously, with an air of academia, while a fourth person creates artwork for the show, merchandising off of the original video.

“There’s four different elements to each part,” Dobbins says. “We liked the idea of using YouTube as an artistic medium. We hadn’t done videos as a

“

YouTube is a vast source of content and material, so when you stick your hand inside of that jar, you’re not really sure what you’re going to pull out.”

— Eric Dobbins, founder of Wonder Fair, 803 1/2 Mass. group before. We’ve been making prints and making T-shirts and doing gallery shows, but we hadn’t worked on a video project yet. Initially, we thought we could do screenings of interesting films in the bookstore, but then one thing led to another and we wanted to screen weird YouTube videos.

We thought it was important that we should create something.”

Dobbins says he’s interested with the idea of rotating the collective’s artists into roles that they’re not familiar with, stretching themselves out of their comfort zones.

“I think part of the intrigue for me is that each part of this summer viewing program is different. That’s exciting to me, seeing what material they come up with and to see where the other artists involved with this project end up, what material they pull from and what ideas they come up with.”

The overall feeling of the first show, on July 7, was humorous, as the group displayed a hip-hop video of questionable quality by the artist Bangs, and then transmogrified it into an equally questionable instructional video about bird calling.

“As far as an enjoyment level, you need a sense of humor, an awareness of YouTube and how it operates would be helpful,”

Dobbins says. “The first one was more fun and lighthearted and silly. Our next one will be more serious. I think it kind of changes throughout the summer, depending on the initial curated video.

This has the potential to have something for everyone. YouTube is a vast source of content and material, so when you stick your hand inside of that jar, you’re not really sure what you’re going to pull out.”

Wonder Fair member Kelly John Clark says the critique of the videos, the serious side of the show, is just as important as the hilarity of watching horrendous pop culture.

Clark says the show feels more fleshed out with a critical examination of the video on display.

“We thought we needed to have some piece of this structure that is somewhat serious, (to show) that we’re actually giving this a lot of thought,” Clark says. “This is where we talk about, ideally, in a dead-pan way, why the initial video is good or important culturally. We give it a critical reading as an artist.”

Clark stresses this event is interesting not only as a comedic summer distraction, but also because it is serious art.

“If I wasn’t involved I would still want to know what was up, because the Spencer has their fingers all over this. It’s also summer, and that’s the time to sit with friends and watch movies — and that’s what this is. It’s a short, funny little movie. You’ll be entertained. It’s a chance to go see something funny with your buddies. We’re all pretty interesting people; we love our community. This is our chance to do something fun — fun for our community.”

Jason Barr, Wonder Fair member and curator of the first show in the summer series, says he enjoys how this project approaches the idea of art.

He says the goal with Our Tube is for the Wonder Fair members to develop thought-provoking art while not feeling too pretentious about what art should mean.

“People should, when they come to this show, they should expect to have sort of a quirky approach to even what art is. We’re not putting pictures up on the wall.

This isn’t something you could consume on an art walk. I’ve never heard of anyone taking this (specific) idea. Also, this isn’t completely tongue-incheek. That’s a problem with a lot of artists our ages and people associated with counter-culture.

They’re too self-aware and too cool for their own good, and it comes down to something that’s a detriment. I think people will get the best of both worlds in this situation.”

Barr says Wonder Fair, with fourth member Lee Piechocki, hopes audiences enjoy this visual romp through the Internet’s dark side. He says he’s excited about the shows and the group’s novel ideas behind them.

“It’s a weird opportunity to go in there and do this thing,” Barr says.

“We’re taking over a gift shop — we’re literally reimagining a space, and we’re the first to do it.

Hopefully, we can create some thought-provoking art that can be young and vibrant. This situation, it was the perfect chance. I now wish we’d always been doing art this way, so we could get the experience in areas that we’re not tuned in to.”

The hipper side of Hulu: Streaming site produces its own quirky programming

By Steve Johnson McClatchy Newspapers

C H I C A G O — The series offers a deft twist on superhero stories. British juvenile delinquents, caught outdoors in a lightning storm, slowly realize they have developed extraordinary powers.

They scuffle and scrape.

They curse up a blue streak.

And slowly, inevitably, but not in the same glossy way an American network series would have them do it, they band together.

“Misf its” has won best drama series in Great Britain’s version of the Emmys, the BAFTAs. But instead of showing on one of the usual stateside outlets for British crossovers, it can be found on Hulu.

Yes, Hulu, the Web enterprise most people think of as the place to catch up on missed episodes of American network series.

As part of its plan almost since its 2007 inception, the website has also tried to pump in some programming Americans cannot find elsewhere.

It used to do so quietly, making a nice franchise out of Japanese anime, for instance. But now, with the “Misfits” second season just starting up — plus two other series only available in the U.S. on Hulu, the British chef comedy “Whites” and the American metaphysical contemplation “The Booth at the End” — Hulu is starting to wave the flag a little harder for the series it shows exclusively.

“This summer you’re seeing us getting more public about that as an area of interest,” said Andy Forssell, Hulu’s senior vice president of content acquisition and distribution.

The goal, he said, is to find

“

You never know quite what you’re going to get.

One minute it’s a genre story, the next minute a love story. ... It sort of pushes the boundaries.

It’s unrestrained.”

— Murray Ferguson, an executive producer with “Misfits,” a show offered on Hulu programming that inspires passion: “We’d much rather have a show that a couple of million people just love to death and email their friends about than one that 10 million people like quite a bit.”

“Misfits” seems to be that kind of show. It’s been one of the top programs on Hulu since the first six-episode season began airing in June.

It was most popular on the site every Monday, the day new episodes are put up (episodes old and new are all available at hulu.com/misfits).

And mostly with good reason. The f irst couple of episodes — like most every TV series — try a little too hard to be edgy. The musicvideo-style glamorization of heavy drinking, in one scene, is a pretty ugly aesthetic choice. And, more broadly, Nathan, the Irish nonstop talker played by Robert Sheehan, isn’t nearly as charming as he thinks he is or, indeed, as the script seems to require him to be.

But as the show moves past setting up the premise, it really finds a stride. This group of young people, brought together by a communityservice requirement, slowly, warily, discovers more common ground than they initial-

ly thought — in their shared predicament, but also in their basic humanity. Its classic band-of-brothers, warmovie stuff, but it tosses in sisters, English class prejudice and the ever-poignant teen angst.

And although its award win was as a drama, there is good humor throughout as, for instance, Nathan grows increasingly impatient to learn what power the lightning storm gave him. If you must have an American comparison, think NBC’s “Heroes,” but with much less high sheen and much more crackle in the dialogue and focus in the storytelling.

Be warned, however (or enticed): “Misfits”’ push to come off gritty and realistic means it is as frank, in language and image, as an American pay-cable series.

“You never know quite what you’re going to get,” said Murray Ferguson, an executive producer with the show.

“One minute it’s a genre story, the next minute a love story. ... It sort of pushes the boundaries. It’s unrestrained.”

Being on Hulu, he said, where viewers can call it up on demand, feels natural for the show. Back home, only half of its viewership, said Ferguson, came from people watching it in first-run air-

ings on Channel 4, the publicly funded alternative channel.

It also works for the way the initial target audience of 16-to-24-year-olds views video. (As word of mouth on the show built in the U.K. since its 2009 premiere, the audience expanded, Ferguson said.)

“It’s not just the television screen anymore,” he said.

“We were very interested in the idea of stepping into slightly new territory and premiering with (Hulu).

Happily, it seems to be working.”

Also worth a look are the other two Hulu-exclusive series. “Whites” stars Alan Davies as the chef at a country hotel, and, as a scripted show, it delivers some of the absurdity and emotional frustrations that don’t always come through in our surfeit of reality-based cooking programs.

“The Booth at the End” is, in its early episodes, just cryptic enough to keep you off balance, just specif ic enough to keep you coming back. The story of a mysterious man in a diner who grants people their wishes, in exchange for an often terrible price. It comes from Vuguru, the multiplatform video firm started by ex-Disney chief Michael Eisner in 2006.

The company was founded in 1891 by John George and Albert Stickley. Their Quaint Line of furniture was introduced in 1902. Quaint Mission was made first. Other Quaint lines included Quaint Arts & Crafts (1904), Quaint Tudor (1914), Quaint Manor (1914), Quaint American (1920s) and Quaint Colonial (1920s). John George left the firm in 1902 and Albert retired in 1927. The company remained in business until about 1947. Your vanity in good condition is worth about $300.

Q: I have two 1936 booklets titled “Kellogg’s Singing Lady Party Kit” published by the Kellogg Co. I understand “The Singing Lady” was an NBC radio show. The books come with pop-out invitations, games, place cards, favors, masks, verses, recipes and cake decorations. Are they worth much?

A: “The Singing Lady,” the first network radio program for children, was broadcast from 1931 to 1941. Ireene Wicker, the Singing Lady, sang and told stories for children. The show was sponsored by Kellogg’s. A Singing Lady songbook was offered as a Kellogg’s premium in 1932. The Singing Lady Party Kit was published in 1936 and 1937. It sells for about $15 to $20.

Other Kellogg’s premiums sell for more.

Q: I recently bought a box full of stuff at a garage sale. In the box I found a Beatles souvenir spoon.

The heads of the four Beatles are pictured on the insert at the top of the spoon handle. The spoon is 4 1/4 inches long. What is it worth?

A: Your stainless-steel spoon is one of a set of five.

The other four picture each Beatle individually. A set recently auctioned online for $90, but an individual spoon like yours sold for just $6.50.

Q: I have four small plates, about 4 1/2 inches in diameter, each decorated with a picture of a Greek god. The plates are white with gold-leaf trim. The backs are stamped “Mitologia” over a picture of a hand holding a paintbrush.

Below that it says, “Fornasette-Milano, Made in Italy, Exclusive for Bonwit Teller.” Are they old or valuable?

A: Your small plates or coasters were designed in the 1960s by Piero Fornasetti for Bonwit Teller, a high-end New York department store.

The complete set included eight different designs of mythological figures. Fornasetti (1913-1988) made several other coaster sets with different themes for Bonwit Teller. The department store was founded in New York City in 1895 and eventually opened branches in several other cities. After the chain declared bankruptcy in 1989, most of the stores closed.

The name was sold and attempts have been made to

revive the famous brand.

Fornasetti was a painter, sculptor and designer who lived in Milan, Italy. His furniture and other products are popular collectibles today. New Fornasetti pieces are being made today by Piero’s son, Barnaba, in both old and new designs. The value of a set of four coasters is about $50.

Tip: Don’t soak dishes in chlorine bleach to remove stains. Bleach damages the glaze. This treatment was recommended years ago.

And never use other bathroom cleaners, either. They, too, ruin the glaze. ●

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Folk tale figurines popular to collect

By Terry Kovel

Jennifer Smith/Special to the Journal-World

GARDEN CALENDAR COLUMNIST Jennifer Smith took a third place for her jalpenos at the Douglas County Fair last year. She hopes to claim first place this year. Read on how to submit your own produce, flowers or other projects for this year’s fair.

Douglas County Fair offers friendly competition I

am pretty sure I grow the best jalapenos in Douglas County. Tomorrow I will prove it by entering my peppers in the open class horticulture exhibit at the Douglas County Free Fair.

If friendly competition with fellow gardeners sparks your interest at all, join me.

Jalapenos, along with other peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, squash and any other vegetables you can think of may be entered in the competition.

There is also a division for fruit, including apples, pears, peaches, grapes, etc. Fruit and vegetable entries are accepted from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. Monday in Building 21 on the Douglas County 4H Fairgrounds.

For first-time competitors, there are a few rules you should know. First, your fruits and veggies must be displayed on plain white paper plates. Second, some fruits and vegetables require more than one specimen for the competition. This indicates that I can consistently grow good peppers rather than just one exceptionally nice pepper.

The number of fruits or vegetables needed is dependent on size. For large vegetables like melons and squash, you only need one specimen. For medium-sized fruits and veggies like apples, peppers, onions and tomatoes (including cherry), bring five of the fruit or vegetable. For small items like green beans or blackberries, bring 12. Plums are a strange exception, requiring 10 specimens.

When picking out multiples of the same fruit or vegetable, consistency is key. My five jalapenos will be as close as possible in size, shape and color.

Did I mention cash prizes?

Folk tales like Little Red Riding Hood have been part of everyone’s childhood since the 14th century. The stories taught lessons. Red Riding Hood originally was the story of a young girl going into dark woods filled with dangers. In these early tales, the girl met an ogre or a werewolf who eats the grandmother and lures the girl into bed. But she escapes using her wits (no huntsman was there to save her). By the 17th century, the many versions of the story told of a young country girl meeting a wolf and telling him about her grandmother’s house.

The wolf is then able to eat Grandma and the girl. The tale reminds young girls of the dangers of following the advice of strangers. Through the years, the story became a morality tale warning about strange men. But by the 1800s, the story had Grandma and Red Riding Hood outwitting the fox and being saved by a hunter. Still later, the tale represented the views of Freud and feminists.

Today the tale is often reworked as satire or comedy. Through all the years, pictures and figurines depicting Red Riding Hood have remained popular. In the 19th century, Staffordshire potters made dozens of figures of the girl with or without Grandma or the wolf. Try collecting things related to a single folk tale or nursery rhyme. Books, prints, fabrics, jewelry, dishes and even furniture can be found expressing both old and new versions of the stories.

Q:

An aunt handed down a vanity that was made by Stickley Brothers between 1926 and 1928. There’s a sticker inside the top drawer that says “Quaint Furniture of Character.” What can you tell me about the vanity and its value?

A:

Quaint Furniture was one of the lines made

by Stickley Brothers Co. of Grand Rapids, Mich.

The top three winners in each class receive money, a commemorative ribbon and bragging rights. The cash is not a good get-rich-quick scheme, but the $3 you get for a first place entry make it worth driving out here. (And you can win multiple classes!)

There are also classes for herbs within the horticulture division — just a single stem of the herb is needed for entry.

Open-class horticulture exhibits are judged Tuesday

Buildings are open from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. each day.

What if you are a better flower gardener than fruit or vegetable grower? There’s a flower competition, too! Flower entries are accepted from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. Tuesday in Building 1 on the Douglas County 4-H Fairgrounds.

Flowers also need certain quantities dependent on the type of flower. For marigolds and zinnias under 4 inches in diameter, three stems are needed for entry. For all other flowers, including zinnias over 4 inches in diameter, only one stem or spray is needed.

Cut flower should be displayed in “clear containers sized in proportion to the specimen.” Most exhibitors use clear

plastic water bottles with the labels removed.

There are also flower arrangement divisions with specific themes.

For non-gardeners, there are categories for arts, foods and other things. Check the Douglas County Fair website (www.dgcountyfair.com) or stop by the Douglas County Extension office for more details.

The only things that can stop me from being the Douglas County Jalapeno Champion are weather, insects, plant diseases, natural disasters and you.

Daughter needs to make new friends Dear Annie: My daughter, “Julia,” is 16 and has not one true friend. Her friends are all nice, polite girls and boys, but they ditch her on a regular basis. They cancel scheduled outings at the last minute or never show up.

Julia is reliable, loyal and compassionate. She knows how to be a supportive friend.

I realize parents can be blind to their child’s weaknesses, so I asked Julia’s teachers if she is imperious or condescending or exhibits any antisocial behavior. They were equally baffled, saying she is an acknowledged peer leader and an excellent student, captain of the dance team and coeditor of the school paper.

Yesterday, the girl Julia considers her closest friend once again failed to show up for a pre-arranged activity, never bothered to say she couldn’t make it and didn’t respond to Julia’s calls or texts for three hours. This is someone who has spent the night at our house, has been on our family vacations and who Julia has supported through many emotional ups and downs.

This has gone on since elementary school, and Julia and I find such behavior puzzling and hurtful. I cannot tell if this is pervasive behavior with me-centric millennials, or if Julia somehow attracts the wrong friends the way some

Shark Week never gets old Shark Week has been around for 24 years. That’s a long time. Not as long as the millions of years that sharks have existed, but in terms of pop culture, it’s an eternity.

Back in 1987, millions of Americans still didn’t have cable TV. The Fox Network had just been born. “The Cosby Show” reigned supreme in the ratings.

The No. 1 song on Aug. 1, 1987, was “Shakedown” by Bob Seger from the soundtrack to “Beverly Hills Cop II,” the biggest movie of a summer that would see the release of “Dirty Dancing,” “RoboCop,” “The Lost Boys,” “Withnail & I,” “The Witches of Eastwick,” “Ishtar” and the truly unforgettable “Ernest Goes to Camp.”

This year, Discovery’s indefatigable series returns with its own Chief Shark Off icer, comedian Andy Samberg of “Saturday Night Live” fame. He’s aided by the network’s shark expert Andy Dehart, who actually knows a thing or two about the ancient predators.

Shark Week endures because of (or in spite of) the remarkable sameness of its offerings. How many times can people watch documentaries like “Great White Invasion” (8 p.m.) or “Jaws Comes Home” (9 p.m.)? Apparently, as often as Discovery broadcasts them! ● Shark Week generates a lot of competition. There’s practically a “Whale Week” going on, if you take into account Saturday night’s “Moby Dick” adaptation on Syfy and the Melville-inspired miniseries beginning on Encore on Monday.

You knew Animal Planet couldn’t lose its viewers to the sharks, so it dreamed up “Heidi Fleiss: Prostitutes to Parrots” (9 p.m.).

The one-hour special (which probably could have used the word “from” in its title) chronicles the efforts of the former Hollywood madam to stay clean and sober. She’s aided in her effort by more than 20 wild macaws that fill her home with love, music and guano. ● A cop (Rachael Carpani) takes a job with internal affairs, infuriating her family of cops in the new series “Against the Law” (9 p.m., Lifetime).

Today’s other highlights ● Scheduled on “Dateline” (6 p.m., NBC): a look inside congressional deliberations on raising the debt ceiling. ● Regrettable broadcasting decisions abound on “25 Biggest TV Blunders 2” (7 p.m., TV Guide). ● The men open up on “The Bachelorette” (8 p.m., ABC). ● Zen negotiates a kidnapped CEO’s return on “Zen” on “Masterpiece Mystery” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings). ● A full moon on “True Blood” (8 p.m., HBO). ● The rebels uncover secrets of the aliens’ anatomy, weaponry and social pecking order on “Falling Skies” (9 p.m., TNT). ● A particularly difficult delivery on “In Plain Sight” (9 p.m., USA). ● Buried with snakes on “The Glades” (9 p.m., A&E). ● Events spiral out of bounds on “Breaking Bad” (9 p.m., AMC). ● Jeff’s dinner party avoidance scheme backfires on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (9 p.m., HBO). ● Drama appears in a TV remake of Vince’s movie on “Entourage” (9:30 p.m., HBO).

U.S. stuck on what’s next in Libya, Syria

By Bradley Klapper Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Five months after President Barack Obama told him to leave Libya, Moammar Gadhafi is pressing on against NATO-backed rebel forces, flaunting his remaining power in the face of Western nations fearful of combatting him with greater force. And four months after Obama offered Syria’s leader an ultimatum to lead reform or leave, Bashar Assad’s crackdown on dissent rages on.

Through intervention or engagement, the U.S. is stuck with inconclusive results in both countries. And while American officials are loath to compare the civil war in Libya to the civil unrest in Syria, they say neither conflict makes for easy solutions.

The unclear endgame in each is constraining the actions of everyone involved — including the United States.

Coming out with guns blazing failed to deliver an early knockout punch to Gadhafi, who seems determined to prolong four decades of crafty and often cynical rule that has seen him crush all previous attempts at liberalization. Engagement has proved similarly ineffectual directed toward Assad, who has mixed promises of reform and symbolic steps toward greater democracy with fierce repression, leaving much of his country in a state of siege.

Libya’s war has become a quagmire. On Thursday, rebel commander Abdel-Fattah Younis was shot and killed under mysterious circumstances, just before arriving for questioning by opposition authorities over alleged family links to the Gadhafi regime.

His death raised the specter of a troubling split within the rebel movement at a time when their forces have failed to make battlef ield gains despite NATO’s pounding airstrikes on Gadhafi’s military.

The killing also underlined the uncertainty of the war. The United States and several dozen other nations have recognized the rebel leadership as Libya’s legitimate rulers, but Gadhafi had held onto a large part of the country. The

While American officials are loath to compare the civil war in Libya to the civil unrest in Syria, they say neither conflict makes for easy solutions.

The unclear endgame in each is constraining the actions of everyone involved — including the United States. government’s grip on the capital, Tripoli, seems secure.

Younis’ death is unlikely to lead the U.S. and its allies into any abrupt change in their decision to throw their weight behind the rebels in Libya’s civil war. It could, however, show signs that the movement is imploding or turning against its own, with much of the work of ousting Gadhafi still unachieved.

For the U.S., policy options are limited. It has already played its military card, leading the early stages of NATO’s intervention by bombing Gadhafi’s air defense capabilities. Since then it has played a more auxiliary role in the alliance, pitching in with plane refueling, reconnaissance and some drone strikes.

And there is fierce resistance from Congress to ramping up U.S. aerial attacks anew.

Politically, meanwhile, the oft-repeated U.S. demand that Gadhaf i must leave power and leave Libya has left the Obama administration with little wiggle room for a creative diplomatic solution.

In Syria, the president and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton have hardened their rhetoric in recent months. It appears they’ve dismissed any lingering hopes that Assad’s government might be persuaded to start a serious democratic reform process and pull back his security forces from an aggressive nationwide campaign to snuff out dissent.

Obama has promised to use “all the diplomatic, economic and strategic tools” available to support democratic transition. Yet it’s unclear what effect the pressure is having, or how big a toolbox is at the administration’s disposal.

The president specifically left out any military options.

Amid area famine, Eritrea silently suffers

By Luc Van Kemenade Associated Press Writer

MAI -AINI , E THIOPIA — Alem Teke watched her crops in Eritrea shrivel and die from drought. She braved landmines and escaped being raped by soldiers to save her children from starvation by fleeing across the border to a refugee camp in neighboring Ethiopia.

Alem, a farmer’s wife, made it to the Mai-Aini refugee camp in Ethiopia. She was more fortunate than some of her friends who were raped.

Like many people fleeing famine that has hit parts of the Horn of Africa, Alem has overcome the odds to escape hunger, but as the world focuses on famine in Somalia, Eritrea suffers in silence.

Eritrea, a nation of 5 million people that borders Sudan, Ethiopia and Djibouti, has also seen failed rains and widespread food shortages.

But its autocratic government, which faces international sanctions, refuses to acknowledge a drought has swept its territory. Satellite images show that the Red Sea nation has been hit by drought conditions similar to those in Somalia, Ethiopia and Djibouti.

Nearly 1 ,000 Eritreans arrived at a refugee camp in northern Ethiopia in July alone, officials said.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Johnnie Carson, said last week that many of the Eritrean refugees crossing borders into Sudan and Ethiopia suffer from malnutrition. He urged the reclusive Eritrean regime, led by longtime President Isaias Afwerki, to address the hunger and work with humanitarian organizations to prevent catastrophe.

Over the last few years, more than 48,000 Eritreans — most of them young, edu-

cated men or soldiers who have deserted the army — have fled to Ethiopia. Some 1,000 Eritreans risk death each month by crossing the border. Among the refugees are large numbers of children sent by their parents to escape future military service.

Simon Girmaw, a protection off icer for the U.N. refugee agency, said the influx of refugees usually slows dramatically during the rainy season, from midJune to mid-September, because flowing rivers deny access and farmers are busy preparing for the harvest.

But this year, he said, refugees are able to cross the ankle-deep or dry rivers by foot at most places. And many farmers aren’t waiting for rains to come this year.

Berhane Hailu, who screens refugees for Ethiopia’s refugee agency, said an increasing number of Eritre-

ans mention lack of food as their reason for fleeing.

One of the refugees, who said he was a statistician at the country’s agriculture ministry, said the nation’s food supplies are exhausted.

The statistician said the government has now rationed each family to only 22 pounds of grain each month. He said authorities have run out of stock and are trying to import wheat from Sudan, paying with mining revenues, Eritrea’s only source of income besides remittances from Eritreans living abroad.

Refugees from southern Eritrea said that their families haven’t been able to buy food from the government for the last three months and that food prices have spiraled.

Refugees said a goat is now selling for more than $200 and a cow nearly costs $1,000.

Soldiers are paid about $30 a month.

Businesses play vital role in terror prevention

By Jamie Stengle Associated Press Writer

KILLEEN, TEXAS — Ultimately, it was the keen eye of a Texas gun shop clerk that helped authorities find an AWOL soldier who’d stashed bomb-making material in his nearby motel room for a planned attack on Fort Hood soldiers.

The tip that led Killeen police to Pfc. Naser Abdo on Wednesday prevented what could have Abdo been the second terrorist attack on the Army post, following a 2009 shooting rampage in which an Army psychiatrist is charged with killing 13 people. Earlier this year in Texas, a shipping company that told the FBI about a suspicious order for a chemical explosive foiled an alleged plot to blow up former President George W. Bush’s Dallas home.

The enduring lesson for a post-9/11 world: America’s workforce plays a crucial role in preventing potential terror attacks.

Federal and local law enforcement agencies have established programs over the past decade that encourage the public to report suspicious activity and tips from businesses have led to multiple high-profile arrests.

Abdo, 21, who went absent without leave from Fort Campbell, Ky., early this month, was arrested Wednesday at a motel outside Fort

Hood and charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device. Police say he was perhaps only a day away from unleashing bombs in a restaurant frequented by soldiers and attacking the Army post.

Abdo’s alleged plan was cut short when Guns Galore employee Greg Ebert became suspicious after the soldier acted oddly while purchasing smokeless gunpowder, shotgun ammunition and a semiautomatic pistol magazine.

a proud moment for employees of the store — the same place Maj. Nidal Hasan bought a pistol used in the Fort Hood shooting spree two years ago.

Store clerk Dave Newby said Hasan’s purchase, while legal, devastated store workers and put everyone on higher alert.

“I think we all changed,” he said. “It was terrible. We thought about coulda, shoulda, woulda.”

The retired police officer said Abdo arrived at the Killeen gun shop in a taxi — unusual for the Central Texas town — and proceeded to buy 6 pounds of smokeless gunpowder, while asking what it was. Abdo didn’t say much as he paid in cash, and he didn’t bother to collect his change or a receipt before returning to the waiting taxi.

“Now, he hasn’t done anything unlawful — it doesn’t prevent me from being curious,” said Ebert, who retired from the police force last year.

Federal authorities say actions like Ebert’s can keep America safe.

“The willingness of an individual to contact law enforcement about an event or incident that may be indicative of a possible threat is vital to our mission,” FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said. “It may turn out not to be a threat but at least we have the opportunity to check it out.”
