University Cancer Center nationally designated
The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) may be able to officially call itself a National Cancer Institute (NCI). According to a post by U.S. Senator Pat Roberts on his Facebook page, KUCC has been approved as a NCI designated cancer center.
"I am pleased that the University of Kansas has been given a green light and I look forward to a formal announcement of their National Cancer Institute designation," he posted on Thursday, June 28.
Currently, there are only 66 NCI designated cancer centers in the country, none of which are in Kansas. The NCI board met June 25 and will release a formal announcement of KUCC's admission by
mid-July.
KUCC applied for the designation in September 2011, but has worked for the past seven years and invested $350 million toward the goal. As of last September, the organization had created 1,123 jobs and contributed more than $450 million to the local economy. Officials expect that the designation will improve these numbers with the help of more federal research funding which will result in more higher-paving jobs.
As a designated center, KUCC will also be able to provide Kansas cancer patients more opportunities to participate in new clinical trials, more access to promising therapies and a number of other services, all closer to home.

Thousands protest at swearing-in of China's leader on Sunday
HONG KONG A pro-democracy heckler interrupted a speech by Chinese President Hu intao at the swearing-in of Hong Kong's new leader Sunday and tens of thousands of residents marched to protest Chinese rule on the 15th anniversary of the Asian financial hub's return to Beijing's control. In the ceremony, self-made millionaire Leung Chun-ying, 57, became Hong Kong's third chief executive after Donald Tsang and Tung Chee-hwa. He has promised to address Hong Kongers' economic needs, including skyrocketing housing prices, which many blame on deep-pocketed mainland apartment buyers.
A demonstrator who tried to interrupt Hu as he began his address was bundled away by security officials. The man, one of the guests invited to the inauguration, waved a small flag and yelled slogans calling for China's leaders to condemn the brutal June 4, 1989, crackdown on protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. He also called for an end to one-party rule in China.
Beijing has pledged that Hong Kong can elect its own leader in 2017 and all legislators by 2020 at the earliest, but no roadmap has been laid out.
In mid-afternoon, tens of thousands of protesters began marching toward the newly built government headquarters complex on Hong Kong Island in sweltering heat, beating drums and waving British colonial flags in a gesture of nostalgia for an era during which democratic rights were limited but the rule of law was firmly in place.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The protesters jammed the route of the march, a series of thoroughfares bordered by high-rise apartments and office buildings. There was occasional tension with the thousands of police officers deployed to maintain order, but by and large the event went off peacefully.
Organizers said more than 400,000 participated while police estimated there were 63,000 at the procession's peak. Hu left Hong Kong before the march began. Leung himself was implicated in an embarrassing scandal just last week when it emerged that he had made six illegal additions to his mansion in an exclusive neighborhood on Hong Kong Island's Victoria Peak.

IRAQ
Four die in weekend Baghdad bombing
BAGHDAD — Bombers killed four people in two Iraqi cities and gunmen assassinated a judge, officials said Sunday, as al-Qaida's affiliate ramped up attacks six months after the last U.S. troops withdrew.
Three coordinated bomb attacks within minutes of each other Sunday morning hit the central city of Tikrit, 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad, a provincial official said. A civilian walking by was killed and two others were wounded. The bombs went off near a middle school where students were taking exams, but authorities said none of the students was hurt.
Further south, three policemen died when a suicide car bomb and three roadside bombs exploded at a security checkpoint on Saturday night in Samarra, 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of Baghdad, a police official said.

Fireworks spark deadly wildfire fears
ROCKIES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A fireworks display for the Fourth of July, put on by the Colorado Rockies baseball club, lights up the night sky over Coors Field in Denver, Saturday, June 30, 2012.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Drought and wildfire fears are snuffing out some Fourth of July festivities this year.
From Utah to Indiana, state and local governments are calling off annual fireworks displays out of fear that a stray rocket could ignite tinder-dry brush and trigger a wildfire. They're also warning residents not to use fireworks, sparklers or Roman candles in backyards.
The worry is especially acute in the West, where crews are already battling out-of-control blazes in several states. Parts of the Midwest are affected, too, after weeks without any significant rain.
"We usually have a fireworks barge and a huge gala that attracts thousands of people" said Bill Appleby of the Grand Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, which represents the lakeside resort town about 90 miles northwest of Denver in the Rocky Mountains. The display is usually safe out on the water, but "we just can't risk an errant ember."
It's not uncommon for communities to delay or cancel fireworks shows because of drought conditions, but this year, the practice is more widespread.
Last year, about a third of the country was in drought. Now nearly three-quarters is, according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor map, a weekly analysis of dryness across the nation. The parched conditions have been aggravated by a dry, mild winter and abovenormal temperatures.
Fires have charred more than 1.8 million acres this year in the U.S., and much of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana have been under red-flag warnings for extreme fire danger.
In Colorado, where hundreds of homes have been destroyed by flames in the past month, firefighters have said they don't have the time or resources to stand watch over public events. At least nine public fireworks displays have been called off.
Montana hasn't called for an end to big displays yet, but Gov. Brian Schweitzer is urging people not to set off their own fireworks and has left the door open to canceling public shows.
Officials have also canceled displays or issued warnings restricting private fireworks in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Utah and Wisconsin.
"Nobody wants to not have fireworks," said Chris Magnuson of Albion, Ind., a town of about 2,300 that postponed its annual July 4 fireworks show to Labor Day weekend after
county officials banned outdoor burning. "It's just not safe enough."
Fireworks were blamed for more than 15,500 blazes and $36 million in property damage in 2010, according to the National Fire Protection Association in Quincy, Mass.
Leaders of the fireworks industry, which brought in nearly $1 billion in sales nationally in 2011, question whether firework bans are legal. Steve Graves, executive director of the Indiana Fireworks Association, said people should be given credit for common sense.
Indiana law allows fireworks from June 29 to July 9 regardless of whether local burn bans are in place. Some communities have declared drought disaster emergencies to enact bans in an attempt to get around the law.
"Instead of talking about safety, they decided to treat Hoosiers like they're a bunch of idiots that can't think for themselves," Graves said.
At the TNT Fireworks stand just outside Helena, Mont, some customers planned to heed the calls to keep their fireworks under wraps for July Fourth, said stand co-owner Anna Richards.
"Would I rather make money or would I rather see Montana burn?" Richards said. "There's more to life than these two weeks."

Victims visit damaged regions

ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — People who fled the most destructive fire in Colorado's history are being allowed temporary visits to the most devastated neighborhoods, and many will find that their homes were among the nearly 350 burned to the ground.
About 10,000 people remain evacuated, down from more than 30,000 at the peak of the Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado Springs, but authorities said Sunday morning they hoped to lift more evacuation orders later in the day.
The 26-square-mile fire was 45 percent contained as of Sunday morning. It was one of many burning across the West, including eight in Utah and a fast-growing blaze in Montana that forced residents in several small communities to leave.
Rich Harvey, incident commander for the Waldo Creek blaze, said crews
continue to make good progress.
"We're cautiously optimistic," he said Sunday morning. "We still remain focused on things that could go wrong."
On Sunday people whose homes were burned were allowed to tour the affected areas. Authorities said some
residences would be cordoned off with police tape, and people would not be allowed beyond that point.
About 1,500 personnel were fighting the Waldo Canyon fire, and authorities said they were confident they had built good fire lines in many areas to stop flames from spreading.

Overlooked campus places have history

JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
This sculpture located between the Spencer Museum of Art and Bailey Hall is just over 40 years old and was purchased by the Museum in 1982. The unique sculpture was made out of welded steel in 1970 by Richard Holland and titled 'Interstate 70.'
JESSICA TIERNEY editor@kansan.com
Most of us have a set routine when we arrive on campus. Perhaps it's a morning stop at Wescoe Beach, a coffee break at Watson, and lunch at the Underground. From there, you bid campus farewell and are on your way.
"Honestly, I can't really think of many places that aren't already known," said Zach Helmstead, a senior from Marion. "We're not really told much."
The next time you're ready to head home, consider visiting some of these lesser-known places on campus. You might be surprised what you find.
- 丹forth Chapel: Located on a grassy knoll between Fraser and Spooner Halls, this chapel on Lilac Lane has been the centerpiece of almost 5,000 weddings since its formal dedication on April 2,1946.According to the KU History Project, German WWII POWs were used to construct the chapel. When classes are in session, students are welcome to stop by for "individual meditation" from 7:30 a.m.to 10 p.m.
- "The Shack": This small limestone building located on 11th St. just east of the Triangle Fraternity, is more affectionately known as "the Shack" to those who have worked in it.
- It has housed everything from the campus radio station, KJHK, to Jayhawkers hiding from Quantrill's Raiders in 1863. They burned down the house that went with it, said Mike Reid, director of the KU History Project. "That shack is one of the oldest buildings in the region, not just the campus," Reid said. "Not a lot of people know that."
- Butterfly Garden: If you've ever had a class on West Campus, you may be familiar with Foley Hall's butterfly garden, 2021 Constant Avenue.
- Open to the public Monday-Friday, the butterfly garden is the brainchild of Chip Taylor, a professor with the departments of ecology and evolutionary biology.
- Weaver Courtyard: Located on the south side of Spooner Hall, this small courtyard usually stands behind Spooner's gates, invisible to passersby.
Spooner Hall is the oldest campus building still in use, Reid said.
Named for Arthur D. Weaver, of Weaver Department Store fame, this courtyard contains four sculptures created by Kansas City sculptor Richard M. Hollander. Have a seat on one of the shaded benches and check out the view.
- The Owl on Spooner Hall: While you're at the courtyard, find this owl, engraved in a small niche on the gable of the building, designed by Spooner's architect, Henry van Brunt. Known as a symbol of wisdom, the owl complements the statement on the building's portico, "Whoso findeth wisdom findeth life." Remember that when you're walking up 14th Street.
- Malott Plaza and Memorial Garden: Have you ever taken a look at the garden and trees you pass by on a quick stroll between Wescoe and Anschutz? Though known as a gathering spot for many students during the fall and spring, few are aware of what is planted there.
- The plaza is dedicated in honor of former Chancellor Deane Mallott's wife Eleanor. She had a love of crabtrees, and at her urging, the Class of 1945 dedicated 1,000 of them to the campus, some in this plaza. The garden also includes sage, barberry, peonies, daffodils, chrysanthemums, and spirea trees.
- 7 Vietnam Memorial: In May 1986, KU became the first university in the country to erect an on-campus memorial to students killed or missing in the Vietnam War. The memorial is on Memorial Drive. The memorial contains 57 names of former students and alumni.
- Pioneer Cemetery: You may have stumbled upon this cemetery walking from the Lied Center to Daisy Hill. Many don't know about it, though it's hiding in plain sight, and it has graves from before the Raid, Reid said. The University purchased the land it sits on in 1953. A project in 2009 included repairs to some of the ironwork and graves.
- Interstate Highway 70 Sculpture: Located in Marvin Grove between Bailey Hall and the Spencer Art Museum, this sculpture designed by Richard Hollander in 1970 and purchased by the University in 1982., is the very shady, perfect place for a picnic.
- Audio-Reader Sensory Garden: Located at the Baehr Audio-Reader Center at 1120 11th St., this off-campus space is designed to be enjoyed by all, including people with disabilities.
"It's not just a beautiful garden," said Brenda Berg-Dyck, development director of the garden. "We have wind chimes, babbling brooks, it's meant to be a sensory experience."
Maintained completely by volunteers, the garden is free and open to the public.

'Ted' dominates box office
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — It's both a bear and bull market for Hollywood.
The bear is "Ted," Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane's comedy for Universal Pictures about a talking teddy bear, which opened as the No.1 movie with $54.1 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
And the bulls are baring it in the Warner Bros. release "Magic Mike," Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh's male-stripper tale that debuted a strong No. 2 with $39.2 million.
The two new movies were backed by a deep bench, with Pixar Animation's Disney fairy tale "Brave" holding up well at No. 3 with $34 million in its second weekend. "Tyler Perry's
Madea's Witness Protection," the latest from the dependable breadwinner for Lionsgate Films, opened solidly at No. 4 with $26.4 million.
The four movies combined to keep Hollywood in the money compared to the same weekend last year, when "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" launched with $97.9 million.
1. "Ted" $54.1 million
2. "Magic Mike," $39.2 million
3. "Brave," $34 million
4. "Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection," $26.4 million
5. "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," $11.8 million

NEW YORK — Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are calling it quits after five years of marriage.
"This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family," Holmes's attorney Jonathan Wolfe said Friday. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."
Cruise's lawyer Bert Fields said Holmes filed for divorce on Thursday.
Cruise, 49, wed the 33-year-old Holmes in 2006 in an Italian castle after publicly declaring his love on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," emphatically jumping on her couch.
The couple has a 6-year-old daughter, Suri, who has herself become a staple of the tabloids and celebrity magazines.

Dinosaur goes missing from gas station
MISSOULA, Mont. — The folks at Hi-Noon Petroleum in Montana have a new way to turn a dinosaur into gasoline.
They're offering a $250 gas card for information leading to the safe return of Dino, a 12-foot-long fiberglass Sinclair dinosaur that disappeared June 21 from the Crossroads Travel Center west of Missoula.
"We just wonder what happened
to him,"Hi-Noon marketing manager Earl Allen said Friday. "It's a little odd for him to just walk away."
The 6-foot tall green dinosaur sat on a hill overlooking Interstate 90 for at least five years, Allen said, with occasional appearances in University of Montana Homecoming parades.
"That was his home for a number of years;" Allen said.
Anyone with information on Dino's whereabouts is asked to call Hi-Noon.

Murdoch companies to separate into two
NEW YORK - Calling it the next logical step in a near six-decade evolution, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. said Thursday that it plans to split into two separate publicly traded companies.
Under the proposal, one company will operate as a newspaper and book publisher, while the other will be an entertainment company that includes the 20th Century Fox movie studio, the Fox broadcast TV network and the Fox News channel. It may take a year to work out the details.
The Murdoch family, which controls nearly 40 percent of the voting shares in News Corp., is expected to maintain control of both companies.
Rupert Murdoch said in a conference call with investors that a split would result in two strong companies that have more operational flexibility and be poised for greater growth.
"Each of these new companies would have the potential to continue that journey and prosper as an independent entity long into the future," Murdoch said.

Ann Curry ousted from Today show
TELEVISION
Curry, who was co-host with Matt Lauer for a year after several years as the news anchor, was removed as host of the show after 14
NEW YORK - For a morning show used to celebrating family and a connection with its audience, the "Today" show's farewell to co-host Ann Curry on Thursday was brief, tearful and sad.
years. She fought back tears on the air, saying "this is not as I expected to ever leave this couch."
Her departure ended a week's worth of awkward television. She came to work after word got out that NBC was looking to oust her, with neither she nor the network commenting on the stories until Thursday. "I'm sorry I couldn't carry the ball over the finish line but, man, I did try," she said.

Reconsider health care ruling
With the election campaign in the doldrums until the conventions, not a single person could have gone throughout June 28 without some news concerning the Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act. I know that before I could get the crusties out of my eyes, I'd already yelled expletives around my bedroom. Instantly, my mind told me that I'd awoken to a new nation; a country drastically unlike the one I'd said goodnight to.
In a seemingly landmark decision, the highest court in the land had upheld the ACA by a margin of 5-4 with Chief Justice John Roberts casting the deciding vote. Many other bushy-eyed conservatives like myself must have felt a similar feeling; wed been bamboozled by our ace in the hole.
Those of us who believe in limited government had hoped that the Supreme Court would have the necessary votes to strike down ACA, or at least the individual mandate. And wed been seemingly hoodwinked by the Chief Justice, a person wed believed was staunchly against a more powerful federal government. However, I would caution quick conclusions.
By Billy McCroy
bmccroy@kansan.com
People who welcome this ruling should not get ahead of themselves, this isn't a blessing of any kind by the Supreme Court. This was a ruling on the simple constitutionality of the individual mandate. The court is not in the business of deciding whether a political measure is right or wrong, but whether it is allowed within the framework of the Constitution.
This court ruling is not a victory for democrats, liberals and/or proponents of eventual universal health care. This is a major, but discrete, blow to Congress's ability to govern through the use of the Commerce Clause. Despite the victorious chest-beating, this does not bode well for President Obama's reelection hopes. The central, crowning achievement of his political career
has been devalued as nothing more than a tax. The ACA has been upheld under the Taxing Clause power given to Congress. A tax which Chief Justice Roberts commented in his majority opinion, which is not the business of the court to decide whether it makes sense.
"Construing the Commerce Clause to permit Congress to regulate individuals precisely because they are doing nothing would open a new and potentially vast domain to congressional authority. Congress already possesses expansive power to regulate what people do," said Chief Justice John Roberts.
While being in the majority which seemingly grants Congress the power to mandate that every citizen buy health insurance or risk a tax penalty, it is clear that Roberts is interested in regulating Congressional power.
"The Framers knew the difference between doing something and doing nothing. They gave Congress the power to regulate commerce, not to compel it," said Chief Justice John Roberts.
There is a distinct difference between regulating what people do and what people do not do, Chief Justice
Roberts is well aware of that. It is clear within his opinion that if the Court were to uphold ACA under the Commerce Clause, they would create a dangerous slippery slope. Congressional power is not all-encompassing, it must be checked; this is a victory for limited government
In 2009, the President repeatedly claimed that this act was not a tax, that is obviously not true. Now, President Obama will be forced to go to Americans and champion his health care act, which is in fact a massive tax increase on the middle class. The polls don't bode well for him and I'm guessing that Mitt Romney knows that; he's sharpening his sword. President Obama will have to stand up for his health care act and tell Americans why they should agree to this tax increase, one which he refuted not four years ago.
Remember when President Obama promised he wouldn't raise taxes? So does the majority of the voting public. In the end, Chief Justice Roberts just rewrote the ability and power of Congress to regulate; he may have just curtailed the government's power forever.
McCroy is a senior in economics from Des Moines, Iowa.

Woman found guilty of stealing millions from U2 bass player
DUBLIN — An Irish jury unanimously found a former aide to U2 bassist Adam Clayton guilty of embezzlement Friday after she spent more than €2.8 million ($3.6 million) of the musician's savings on 22 thoroughbred horses, pricey plane tickets and other indulgences for herself and her family.
Carol Hawkins, 48, sat impassively as each of the 181 guilty verdicts was read out in Dublin Criminal Court. She made no comment. Her lawyers, who called no witnesses during the three-week trial, said she was still protesting her innocence.
Judge Patrick McCartan granted Hawkins bail pending her sentencing July 6. Addressing the jurors, he said: "The evidence in this case was overwhelming. Nobody could seriously disagree with the verdict you have given."
Hawkins had claimed that Clayton either authorized her expenditures — including several foreign trips, the horses, a new car and university courses for her two children — or that she had paid him back by using her own money to pay his bills.
But Clayton said he was stunned to find out about her purchases. He testified he'd known nothing about Hawkins' four-year spending spree and had given her access to his bank accounts purely so she could pay bills related to his Georgian mansion, Danesmoate, in south Dublin.
"The fact is she wrote checks from my accounts and put them in her accounts. She was using my accounts to pay her bills," Clayton testified last week.

Undocumented students safe
IMMIGRATION
KELSEA ECKENROTH editor@kansan.com
Young illegal immigrants brought to the United States by their parents when they were children no longer have to live in fear of being deported.
President Barack Obama announced in a June 15 speech that illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children and don't present a risk to national security or public safety will be able to request temporary relief from deportation proceedings. They will be able to apply for work authorization. The president said this isn't amnesty or immunity, or a permanent fix, but something to give relief and hope to undocumented immigrants who live in fear of being deported.
Marta Caminero-Santangelo, an English professor who specializes in U.S.-Latino literature and has written articles about undocumented immigrants, said she was happy when she heard the news about Obama's proposal, but understands that it's not a permanent solution and doesn't provide a path to permanent residency or citizenship.
"It's hard to deny that this policy will have a wonderful impact in the immediate short term on the lives of people who came here as kids with their families who had no say in whether or not they came," she said. "They know no other home but the U.S."
Until this policy was passed, even if undocumented students could get through college, they
couldn't legally work. Now undocumented students can get a work permit and go on to pursue the career of their choice.
"These kids have been struggling for so long and had no options, and now at least they can have some options," Caminero-Santangelo said.
Tanya Golash-Boaa, a sociology professor who teaches classes about immigration, said the proposal is better than nothing, but more needs to happen in order to make a real difference.
“It’s been a long time since we have had a major change in immigration laws,” she said. “We need to change immigration policy, and it’s unfortunate that it hasn’t happened yet on a national level.”
Erin Fleming, a law student from Miami, Fla. and advocate for the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act, said the immigration policy means a lot to everyone involved in the movement.
Fleming said there are undocumented students who have a fear of being deported even after the immigration decision was announced, but she also knows undocumented students who are willing to stand up for their rights.
"They say, 'Here I am. I am an American, and I am a student and want to contribute to this country,'" Fleming said. "It's a struggle everyday to realize the country you love is not accepting of you."

WEATHER
Residents await storms' aftermath
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRANCONIA, Va. — A day after seeking refuge at shopping malls and movie theaters, hoping the lights would be back on when they returned, nearly 2.7 million residents faced a grim reality Sunday: stifling homes, spoiled food and a looming commute filled with knocked-out stoplights.
Two days after storms slammed the mid-Atlantic region, power outages were forcing people to get creative to stay cool in dangerously hot weather.
"If we don't get power tonight, we'll have to throw everything away," Susan Fritz, a mother of three, said grimly of her refrigerator and freezer. Fritz came to a library in Bethesda, Md., so her son could do school work. She charged her phone and iPad at her local gym.
Temperatures approached 100 degrees in many storm-stricken areas, and utility officials said the power will likely be out for several more days.
from trees falling on homes and cars. Three people were killed Sunday in eastern North Carolina when sudden storms hit there. Meanwhile, Coast Guard officials say they have suspended the search for a man who went missing early Saturday while boating during the storm off Maryland.
The severe weather that began Friday was blamed for 17 deaths, most
On Sunday night, federal and state officials in the mid-Atlantic region gave many workers the option of staying home Monday to ease congestion on the roads. Federal agencies will be open in Washington, but non-emergency employees have the option of taking leave or working from home. Maryland's governor also gave state workers wide leeway for staying out of the office.
The bulk of the damage was in West Virginia, Washington and the capital's Virginia and Maryland suburbs. At least six of the dead were killed in Virginia, including a 90-year-old woman asleep in her bed when a tree slammed into her home. Two young cousins in New Jersey were killed when a tree fell on their tent while camping.

SAFETY
Heat, laws complicate firework use
ROYA IBRAHIMI editor@kansan.com
As Fourth of July approaches, many are shopping for fireworks in preparation for the celebration. With the extreme weather patterns that Kansas is facing, the safety and health of individuals and families will be a concern.
James King, division chief fire marshal for the Lawrence Fire Department, expressed several concerns for this year's summer holiday dealing with fireworks.
"With the given weather conditions, I think it would be good for people to pay attention to the heat for health reasons and where they decide to shoot fireworks," King said. "People need to make sure they are hydrated."
With the heat averaging in the mid 90s, many need to understand that the surroundings they plan to shoot fireworks in can't be dry.
"When shooting fireworks, the area should be wet," King said. "If it's not, you should wet it down and make sure to have an extinguisher or bucket of water with you to extinguish the possible fire."
This may seem unusual for some and not a "common" safety rule, but Kelsey Kempke, a senior from Ellsworth, says this rule is nothing new to her.
"Growing up in central Kansas this time of year, it was always dry, and there were always wind and heat advisors," Kempke said. "My parents would start watering the grass the week of Fourth of July every morning or every night and the morning of Fourth of July."
With wind and heat advisories combined, this creates a greater chance for a fast-spreading fire, especially during celebrations with newly lit fireworks.
King said that there are only a few fireworks that are allowed in the city and several illegal in the state of Kansas.
"Novelties can be used anywhere, but away from structures," King said. "Novelties include party poppers, snappers, snakes/glow worms, sparklers and toy caps."
These novelties can be used anytime during the day or week of Fourth of July. Other fireworks, like Roman candles, can be shot off in unincorporated
places at specific times, although there are specific fireworks that are banned by the state that cannot be shot off otherwise. Non-novelty fireworks are not permitted in the City of Lawrence at any time.
"Within the state, items such as bottle rockets and sky rockets are prohibited by state statute," King said. "It is prohibited in Kansas, all of Kansas. This includes the unincorporated places."
For some consumers, the fact that they can get their hands on something illegal sends an adrenaline rush. Colin Wright, a senior from Wellsville, says he goes to Missouri to purchase bottle rockets for two reasons.
With adrenaline rushing for celebrations arriving in a few days, keep in mind the safety issues that arise with this summers' heat advisory that effect health and surroundings.
"Part of it is because they're illegal; the other part is because they fly far and explode," Wright said.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Facebook change irritates students
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
editor@kansan.com
Like most Facebook users, Shanny Latney didn't notice when the social media site created an email application in 2010. She also didn't notice when Facebook replaced her personal email address with an @facebook. com address without her permission. She wasn't pleased when she found out.
"That is kind of messed up. I think it's none of their business for them to delete it," Latney said. "I like to have my things separate, my yahoo accounts and stuff, because I don't want everything coming on to one. They shouldn't have done this at all."
According to Facebook newsroom, the change was made in order to make addresses more "consistent" across the site. The user names people use to get to timelines are used to send emails directly to their messages inbox. The change may have started on April 12, but it wasn't until this week that users began to notice, and the online community has expressed criticism. Users were previously allowed to show contact information like Yahoo! and Gmail accounts, but now most have been removed from
view.
Kayci Vickers, a behavioral neuroscience student at the University, uses a Gmail and KU account and said she doesn't see the need for a third account.
The change is not permanent though. For those who want to offer a way to get in contact with them outside of Facebook, there is a way to show your original email address.

Social media bullying led to student suicide
ASSOCIATED PRES
RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — The parents of Tyler Clementi were ready to accept a plea deal calling for no jail time for their son's Rutgers University roommate, who used a webcam to see their son and another man kissing.
But what they learned at trial made them more convinced that the roommate, Dharun Ravi, deserved to be sent to prison.
Tyler's mother, Jane Clementi, said it was only during the trial in March that she learned her son had viewed Ravi's Twitter posts about the webcam dozens of times in the hours before Tyler killed himself in September 2010.
"I did not realize he was in on the joke," Jane Clementi said Friday in an interview with The Associated Press and two other news outlets.
She said that detail made her understand her son's pain more.
The case drew worldwide attention after Clementi's suicide in September 2010, just days after the spying, and made her late son into a symbol of the perils of mistreating young gays.
Ravi was convicted in March of all 15 criminal counts he faced, including bias intimidation and invasion of privacy.
In May, Ravi issued a statement in which he said he was sorry and was ready to serve his sentence. The Clementi's said they didn't see it as an apology, in part because it was not made directly to them. Still, Joe Clementi said, he expects to forgive Ravi, eventually.
He was released from jail June 19 after serving 20 days of a 30- day sentence imposed by a judge who could have given him up to 10 years in prison.

New standards don't increase job outlook
VICTORIA PITCHER editor@kansan.com
The University admission changes have raised standards, but experts say it won't have an effect on job outlook for graduates.
"It's a lot about the experience," said Nancy Defenbaugh, branch manager at Manpower at 211 E 8th St. in Lawrence. Defenbaugh said "real life" experience is the best thing for graduates. Manpower is a company that helps people find work in almost any field.
On June 20, the board of regents approved new admission standards for the University. Now entering students must meet one of two standards. According to a KU news release, the first is a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 and a score of 24 on the ACT. The second requirement is a minimum
of 3.25 high school GPA and a 21 on the ACT. Students who do not meet the two requirements will have their applications reviewed by a committee. The new requirements will not go into effect until the year 2016.
The changes were made as a way to ensure incoming students are better prepared for college. The University was also looking for ways to increase graduation and retention rates.
"We wanted to increase the rate of success of students," Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said.
Along with admission standards, the University is also looking into improving academic support in regards to advising and mentoring.
But, whether that increases the success of finding a job after graduating, is unsure.
"I think the idea behind it is definitely good that they want to try and ratchet up the academic standing," said Brian Danley, a graduate student in Economics from Barlesville, Okla.
But Danley said the effect the higher standards will have on job outlook would depend on what the student is doing. Danley said a university's prestige is more important when looking into grad schools than looking for jobs.
Defenbaugh said where you go to school and how tough it is to get admitted won't make a difference in the job search. Defenbaugh said that education is important, but the universities should push internships. When employers are looking to hire, they are going to look at experience.

Kansas denied waiver to No Child Left Behind
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas isn't among the latest five states granted relief from a No Child Left Behind requirement that all students test proficient in math and science by 2014.
But the head of the Kansas Department of Education says she

expects that the announcement is coming soon.
After Congress failed to change the law, President Barack Obama told states last fall they could seek a waiver around the uripopular proficiency requirements in exchange for actions his administration favors. Revamping evaluations is among the priorities.
DeBacker says federal officials like that the state is piloting a new evaluation system. She says prospects for obtaining a waiver are "looking good."

MAEGEN MATHIASMEIER editor@kansan.com
The learning environment on Ellsworth Hall's fourth floor will be intense now through July 21 as the Jayhawk Debate institute takes over. Coaches from the University and other colleges run the debate camp for high school students.
The University's debate team has been successful since its formation in 1885, qualifying for the National Debate Tournament 53 out of 63 years it has been in commission, finishing seven times in the top five.
and becoming champions twice, in 2006 and 2008.
"It is like being a part of a dynasty," Coach Kelly Winfrey says. "It is a well-established debate program with a lot of success."
Winfrey says the campers will learn debate strategies, research strategies and put together arguments. It is a good bonding experience, and the debaters are able to meet kids their age from all over the country.
"The KU camp has all of the benefits of the camps far away, and it's close to home," said Logan Ochsner.
student at Free State High School. "It's cheaper and just as prestigious."
Campers are allowed to choose from the two-week, three-week, or four-week sessions. Prices are from $900 without room & board to $2,300 and with room & board.
"I'm here for the level of competition," said Alex Holden, student at Blue Valley Northwest in Overland Park. His goal is to win first place at Nationals, and he's going keep working with partners to do it.

DRUGS
Chicago pot fines replace arrests
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But aldermen still debated about two hours before passing the ordinance, with many saying they were not comfortable with a measure that could be seen as sending a message that they are condoning drug use. Others said they needed to act to protect an increasingly nervous city where homicides are up 38 percent this year.
CHICAGO — Chicago's City Council on June 27 passed an ordinance that allows police to ticket people found with small amounts of marijuana instead of arresting them.
The 43-3 vote in favor of the ordinance, which allows officers to write a ticket for $250 to $500 for possessing as much as 15 grams of marijuana or about 15 marijuana cigarettes, was expected after a council committee approved the measure 13-1 last week.
"The calls I get at 2 o'clock in the morning are not about marijuana possession, they're about someone who's been shot in my ward," Alderman Will
Burns said before the council voted Wednesday. "I want those calls to cease and the way we do that is to make sure our police are fighting violent crime."
Police Superintendant Garry McCarthy said in a statement earlier this month that the arrests of more than 18,000 people for misdemeanor possession of 10 grams or less of marijuana "tied up more than 45,000 police hours" and that the "new ordinance nearly cuts that time in half."
Of the 8,625 misdemeanor marijuana cases between 2006 and 2010 in Cook County, about 87 percent were dismissed, according to the Cook County Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Alderman Danny Solis focused much of his argument on his estimate that the tickets given for marijuana possession would bring in as much as $7 million a year in revenue to the financially strapped city.
Solis said cutting the time that officers spend making those arrests adds up to 2,500 more "police days" that officers will be on the street.

Happy hour legal again in Kansas
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Happy hour is legal once again in Kansas, and while not every bar owner has immediate plans to start offering limited-time drink specials, many are pleased they'll stop losing business to neighboring states like Missouri.
The end of the happy-hour ban instituted by Kansas in 1985 is among numerous liquor law changes taking effect Sunday under legislation signed by Gov. Sam Brownback in late May.
Others include letting certain wineries sell and serve their products on their premises and permitting retailers such as grocery and liquor stores to offer free samples and hold wine and beer tastings — although grocery stores still cannot sell wine and hard liquor, The Kansas City Star reported Saturday.
The 1985 ban on happy hour technically prohibited bars and restaurants
from changing drink prices during the day. Lawmakers were concerned the promotions led to drunken driving by encouraging patrons to consume too much, too quickly, especially in the traditional after-work happy hour period.
But the ban had some perhaps unforeseen consequences. Many owners responded by offering daylong specials, such as well drinks for $2.50 or bottles of beer for $2. And along the state's eastern border, patrons could simply head to the nearest Missouri bar offering happy hour.
Adam Mills, president and chief executive officer of the Wichita-based Kansas Restaurant & Hospitality Association, called the changes in the liquor laws "a big victory" for Kansas establishments.
"Now they can compete on an even playing field with Missouri businesses," Mills said.

FINANCE
Saving early improves finances in future
ANNA ALLEN
aallen@kansan.com
Saving your money can do more than pad your wallet. According to a recent report by University social welfare professor Terri Friedline, children ages 13 to 17 who have access to savings accounts and relationships with financial institutions have a higher chance of being successful with their finances later in life.
The report focuses on the benefits of helping children become involved in financial activities, such as opening a bank account, so they begin to learn about — and feel involved in — the financial process.
"It's important to include young people in these financial services so they have access to these types of accounts but also to give them the education and the knowledge to be able to use their accounts wisely and to make decisions that are appropriate for them." Friedline said.
Matt Cross, senior from Kansas
City, Kan., said he never had a savings account growing up because he didn't have money to put in it.
"I had absolutely no guidance in saving because from where I'm from, saving is the start of a good joke you tell your friends," Cross said. "It cannot happen."
For this, Friedline said possible legislative acts could help overcome such issues.
One act in particular, the ASPIRE Act, would set up saving funds for every newborn child with $500.
From then it would have restrictions similar to retirement funds or 401(k)'s, such as penalties for withdrawing before a certain year, Friedline said.
ASPIRE was first introduced in 2004, and most recently in 2010, but has yet to pass committee.
But Friedline said it's not the amount in the account that's important.
"From what we know so far, it might not be that the actual amount of money in the account matters so much, it's perhaps more just owning the account creates this expectation that kids can go to college later in life so they prepare throughout their whole lives for a future that might not have seemed possible without this savings account," Friedline said.
from Dallas, had a savings account growing up and his parents encouraged him to save, he said he didn't realize the importance of saving until college. He plans on starting savings accounts for his children and wants to give them knowledge of their savings.
"Children shouldn't have money, but should know what a dollar buys, and what a dollar truly costs," he said. "Only then can they start saving their own earnings, and I will provide knowledge towards that goal."
Friedline said getting families to involve children in finances — whether the ASPIRE Act has passed or not — can empower kids to continue their involvement with their finances through life.

Congress passes anti-interest bill
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Congress emphatically approved legislation June 29 avoiding interest rate increases on new loans to millions of college students, giving lawmakers campaign-season bragging rights on what may be their biggest economic achievement before the November elections.
The bill sent for President Barack Obama's signature ends a bareknuckle political battle over student loans that raged since spring, a proxy fight over which party was best helping voters muddle through the economic downturn.
Obama signed a one-week temporary measure Friday evening, permitting the loan program to continue until the full legislation reaches his desk.
Under the bill, interest rates of 3.4 percent for subsidized Stafford loans for undergraduates will continue for another year, instead of doubling for new loans beginning on Sunday as scheduled by a law passed five years ago to save money.
Had the measure failed, interest rates would have mushroomed to 6.8 percent for 7.4 million students expected to get the loans over the coming year, adding an extra $1,000 to the average cost of each loan and antagonizing students — and their parents — four months from Election Day.
The Democratic-led Senate sent the measure to Obama by a 74-19 vote, just minutes after the Republican-run House approved it 373-52. The unusual display of harmony, in a bitterly partisan year, signaled lawmakers' eagerness to claim credit for providing transportation jobs, to avert higher costs for students and their families and to avoid being embarrassed had the effort run aground.
To raise other revenue, the government will start charging interest on subsidized Stafford loans no more than six years after undergraduates begin their studies. Today no interest is charged until after graduation, no matter how long that takes.

Spain wins Eurocup with 4-0 shutout
KIEV, Ukraine — Spain won its third straight major soccer title Sunday, beating Italy 4-0 in the
European Championship final.
David Silva and Jordi Alba scored first-half goals, and Fernando Torres and Juan Mata added two more in the second half as the Spanish passing game worked its magic against
the Italians at the Olympic Stadium.
Silva headed in a high shot in the 14th minute off a pass from Cesc Fabregas. Alba added another in the 41st, picking up a beautiful through ball from Xavi Hernandez
and shooting past Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. Torres posted the third goal in the 84th, becoming the first man to score in two European Championship finals.Mata scored in the 88th.
Spain won the Euro 2008 title four years ago in Vienna and followed that up with the World Cup title in Johannes cup two years ago.

Kansas forward Thomas Robinson was selected in the first round with the fifth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings, making him the highest drafted player in the Bill Self era at Kansas. Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor was selected with the 11th pick of the second round by the Portland Trailblazers, but was immediately traded to the Brooklyn Nets.
Sacramento Kings first-round draft pick Thomas Robinson is introduced to media at Power Balance Pavilion Saturday, June 30, 2012, in Sacramento, Calif.
Holding back the tears, Robinson said only a few strong words after he was picked.
"I'm just glad to be here," he said in an interview after stepping off stage. "I've got work to do."
The 6-8 forward averaged 17.7 points and 11.9 rebounds during his junior year at Kansas. Robinson was a consensus 1st team All-American and runner-up to the Naismith National Player of the Year award, which went to Anthony Davis of Kentucky, who was the first overall pick in the draft.
Robinson will join a team led by guard Tyreke Evans, a former rookie of the year, and center DeMarcus Cousins, the fifth pick of the 2010 NBA draft.
In his post-draft interview with Craig Sager from NBA on TNT, Robinson was still overcome with emotions.
"I earned this," Robinson said.
"I worked for it. There's nothing — can't nobody take that from me."
Taylor was expected to get drafted late in the first round or early second round, but he was prepared for any outcome.
"It's weird, because I thought to myself at the beginning of the draft that I probably would get drafted by a team that I didn't work out for," Taylor said in a teleconference after the draft. "And that's exactly the case with Brooklyn."
Since Taylor was drafted in the second round, he is not guaranteed a contract for the upcoming season. However, Taylor believes the experience he gained at Kansas will help him at the next level.
The 6-3 guard averaged 16.6 points and 4.8 assists his senior year at Kansas. Taylor was a third team All-American and first team All-Big 12.
"I feel like I have the opportunity anyway because of what I can bring for a team. I can defend," Taylor said. "Being a four-year player at a university like Kansas, I think, gives me a step up in competition of coming into the league ready — ready to play right now."
Kansas head coach Bill Self said Taylor's relentless work ethic will help him stick in the league.
"He's not scared of work," Self said. "And his athletic ability and his talent will win out over time because all he's got to do is just be who he is."
The Nets were from New Jersey, where Taylor grew up, but now the team has a new owner, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, who moved the Nets to Brooklyn, N.Y.
"I'm really excited about the new opportunity," Taylor said. "You know, a new arena, a new program. They are trying to start over."
The Nets are also part-owned by record producer Jay-Z. "I haven't met him" Taylor said, "but I'm looking forward to it."
Taylor will join a former Bill Self recruit, point guard Deron Williams, in the backcourt. Taylor will play under head coach Avery Johnson.

Dixon chases dreams with speed, heart
FILE PHOTO /KANSAN
Diamond Dixon, a junior from Houston, is heading to the London Olympics after years of success on the University's track team
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The lifelong Olympic dream is exactly 400 meters away for Diamond Dixon: just once around the track for the final round of Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. on June 24.
Dixon's red Adidas dig into the blocks, waiting for the shot to start the race. The first three finishes in the finals will go on to run the individual 400-meter event in London; the top six will be entered into the relay pool of runners for the 4x400 relay team.
Never before has a female from the University of Kansas earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic team for a track event.
"It would mean everything," Dixon said about making the Olympic team, "because I've worked so hard."
The pistol fires, but Dixon is the slowest to react, according to USA track and field website results.
After 200 meters, she is still in the race, but slowly fading out of contention. She appears to be in danger of finishing in last place after 300 meters.
She fights to gain speed with just 100 meters left in the race. Her arms work furiously and her legs carry her across the finish. Her eyes search Hayward Field for her time, hoping to see a 50 next to her name. She has never run faster than 51 seconds.
"I was so sick of looking at that 51," said Dixon, a junior from Houston. She still can't find her time.
"I accomplished one of my dreams today," Dixon said, tears in her eyes as reporters cluster around. "Making the Olympic team."
Reporters inform Dixon during the post-race interview that she finished fifth. Her time of 50.88 seconds is the fastest of her life. Her frustration fades away as excitement sets in.
Having Heart
Dixon's coach Stanley Redwine, knew that the final round of trials would be a challenge and that she would need to fight, he said. The disappointment of failing to win an NCAA title still weighed heavily on her, she said, and some of her performances at trials were not what she wanted. But still, Dixon found the strength in her to make the finals.
Redwine's words before the race were not much different from those before most NCAA races. She could see it on his face though, and hear it in his voice. She needed to see past
her weaker performances and get back to running like herself.
"My biggest word for her was to make sure she knew what her capabilities were," Redwine said.
Knowing one's capabilities can be difficult at this type of event, because every runner at the Olympic trials is talented. These are the fastest runners in the world, Dixon said.
The difference between winning and losing at this level is measured in tenths of a second. Speed can get a runner to this race, but the will to win is what determines those tenths
of a second.
"It's whatever heart that you have," Dixon told the media following the final.
For Dixon, having heart is a little more complex: she said that she will always have a little hole in hers — a piece taken by a mother and sister who abandoned her when she was still little.
She tried not to think about that growing up, but now she admits the loss fueled her. She filled the hole with her love of running.
"My heart is in it. I love track."
Dixon said to media after the race. "You just have to love what you're doing and want what you think you deserve. Nobody is less than anybody else out here."
Motivation
Everything Dixon does, she does with a purpose, said freshman hurdle-runner Michael Stigler, who has become close friends with Dixon.
He said that off the track, Dixon is quiet, funny and just likes to chill. But there is no joking around when she is at practice or in the weight
room. Stigler said he believes this hard working attitude is responsible for Dixon's success.
"Her competitiveness is out of this world. She's a fighter," Stigler said. "Shefighes harder than anyone I know because she wants it."
Dixon said that her own motivation to succeed in running came from her desire to achieve more in life than her mother who left her. She said she did not want to make the same mistakes: being a pregnant teenager who then had a child she could not provide for.
"That motivated me to stay in school and do what I'm supposed to do," Dixon said. "And definitely be better than my mother. Everything that I'm doing, that fuels it a lot."
Redwine, who has overseen Dixon's career for the past two years, said that the runner has something that cannot be coached. Some athletes want it more than others, he said, and that is something Dixon has.
"That just comes from her inner will to achieve." Redwine said.
"I'll never be satisfied" Dixon said. "Success is only what you've accomplished so far and what you will accomplish in the future."
Living her dreams
A place on the Olympic team: that has been the prize Dixon has sought for as long as she has been running track, and her family knows that. After her race at the Olympic Trials, Dixon's phone rang. It was her sister.
She was calling from North Carolina to congratulate Diamond on her achievement. The two are still working to build the relationship they never had as kids. Diamond said there have been "glitches," but that she was nevertheless happy to hear from her sister after the race.
The hole left in Dixon's heart when her mother left years ago will remain forever, but Dixon said she is thankful for the people who were there to help her through the rough times.
She said she finds her story "amazing."
"I think I should write a book," Dixon said with a laugh.
She is quick to emphasize that this is only the beginning, and that new goals lie ahead.
Her next dream is always about 400 meters away.
"We'll see if my legs can take me there," Dixon said.

Sporting KC keeps road to finals alive with win over Lions
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — C.J. Sapong scored two goals, and Sporting Kansas City beat the Dayton Dutch Lions 3-0 on Tuesday night in the quarterfinals of the U.S.Open Cup.
Graham Zusi also scored for Sporting, which will travel to
meet the Philadelphia Union in the semifinals on July 11, and Jimmy Nielsen had to make just one save for his second straight Cup shutout.
Sporting, which last made the semis when it won its only Open Cup in 2004, broke open the game with two goals in a three-minute span in the second half.
Zusi's blast from just outside the penalty area made it 2-0 in the 56th minute, and Sapong's
header in the 59th widened the lead to 3-0.
Sapong gave Sporting an early lead over the Dutch Lions, who play in the third-tier USL Pro, with a goal in the fifth minute.
Sporting center back Matt Besler started and played into the 68th minute after missing three MLS matches to recover from an emergency appendectomy.

Two transfer to KU one transfers away
With Jon Shelby announcing his commitment to the Jayhawks on Friday, the 2012 Kansas football signing class is complete at 27 players.
The Kansas defense, which ranked last out of the 120 FBS teams in 2011, picks up a linebacker who made his presence felt in junior college.
At Nassau Community College in New York, Shelby registered 82 tackles in 21 games, while the Lions went 19-2 in his two seasons on Long Island. After the 2011 campaign Shelly was named to the first team All-Northeast Conference.
Also coming over from NCC is offensive tackle Aslam Sterling. Sterling signed with Kansas after considering offers from Buffalo and Stony Brook as well.
The Jayhawks will open the season on Sept. 1, 2012 when South Dakota Sate visits Memorial Stadium.
Quarterback
Former Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb is transferring to the University of Colorado according to a report from the Lawrence-Journal World.
On Jan. 16, new Kansas football head coach Charlie Weis announced the quarterback would no longer be a part of the team, yet would still remain a student at Kansas.The announcement from Weis came a month after the commitments of five-star quarterbacks Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps.
From 2010-11 Webb accumulated 3079 yards, 20 touchdowns, 20 interceptions on Kansas teams that went a combined 5-19.
With the Buffaloes, Webb will have a chance to compete for the starting role with two years of eligibility left.

Beshears is ranked second on the University's all-time list for his 1,936 return yards in three seasons with the Jayhawks. He led the Big 12 in return yards last year with 1,014. He was also third in all-purpose yards with 1,587.
Doherty finished the 2011 season, which was also his first season as the team's punter, with the third best punting average in the

Kansas swimmers compete in trials
A trio of Jayhawk swimmers is currently competing in the 2012 Olympic Swimming Trials in Omaha, Neb.
Danielle Hermann, the current volunteer assistant to the Kansas swim team, finished first in the fifth heat of the 200 IM during preliminaries on June 27. She finished 33rd out of 124 swimmers, with a time of 2:18.07.
"It was a great swim,very well put together,and is a new Kansas Aquatics record,so I cannot be any happier for her," said Kansas swim coach Clark Campbell in a statement to the KU Athletic Department.

to London July 1 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Unfortunately, neither was able to book their trip
Competing in the eight man final round of the men's 400-meter hurdles, Stigler needed a top-three finish to earn a spot on the Olympic Team. Stigler ran a 49.50 to advance to the final round June 30, but he ran a 50.63 the next day which earned him seventh place.
Geubelle was attempting to make it to London in the long jump on July 1. In order to accomplish that task, she needed a jump of 22-1 3/4 ft. (6.75m). After three rounds of jumps, her best mark was 20-7 3/4 ft. (6.29m), which was not enough to earn three more jumps. She finished the event in
11th place. Geubelle won a bronze medal in the triple jump earlier in the week, marking the best finish by a female Kansas athlete since 2000.
University track athletes senior Rebeka Stowe and junior Mason Finley also competed for Olympic spots.
Stowe, competing in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, needed at least a top-five finish in her heat or one top-14 final time to advance. With the pressure on, Stow ran a 9:53.67, which was enough to earn the last available qualifying spot for the final round. Stowe ran in the 3,000-meter Steeplechase June 30. She had one of her best performances of the year finishing with a time of 10:02.82 and a 13th place finish, but it was not enough for a trip to London.
Finley was competing to advance to the final round of qualifying in discus. Finley failed to advance by six inches with his final throw of 58.59 meters (192-2 ft.).
Diamond Dixon qualified for the Olympics in the 400-meter run on June 25.

The fire was found to be started when a squirrel came in contact with overhead power lines. The power lines caught fire and fell to the ground igniting the grass and shrubs in the area.

Smugglers attempt to steal Buddha statues, caught by police
A. S. MALMUDI
ISLAMABAD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD — Pakistani police seized a large number of ancient Buddhist sculptures that smuggler were attempting to spirit out of the country and sell for millions of dollars on the international antiquities market, officials said Saturday.
The stash included many sculptures of Buddha and other related religious figures that experts say could be over 2,000 years old. The items were likely illegally excavated from archaeological sites in Pakistan's northwest, said Salimul Haq, a director at the government's archaeology department.
The northwest was once part of Gandhara, an ancient Buddhist kingdom that stretched across modern-day Pakistan and Afghanistan and reached its height from the first to the fifth century.
Pakistani workers unload ancient Buddhist sculptures from a container seized by police Friday. Smugglers were attempting to transfer it out of the country, in Karachi, Pakistan.
Police seized the items Friday from a 20-foot (6-meter) container.

Residents, aid agencies flee from rebels
KINSHASA — Rebels have seized a town on volatile eastern Congo after the army fled their advance, a local official said Sunday.
Omar Kavota says the M23 rebels seized the town of Rutshuru Sunday.
Kavota says the army looted during their retreat.
"We appeal to the international community to do something to protect the civilians who fled the fighting and are living in fear," he said.
Panicked residents were fleeing Rutshuru on Friday night amid reports that the rebels had advanced within shelling distance, according to a statement from the North Kivu Civil Society.
Fears were heightened by the evacuation of U.N. and independent aid agencies, followed in the late afternoon by the retreat of Congolese army soldiers, it said.

Midwesterners battle major heat wave
ONE WAY
Children play in the spray of an open fire hydrant on July 5, 2012 on Chicago's south side. Chicago hit 103 degrees as oppressive heat slams the middle of the country with record temperatures that aren't going away after the sun goes down.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROFT — When the air conditioner stopped in Ashley Jackson's Southfield, Mich., home, so too did normal conversations and nightly rest.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"Inside the house it was 91 degrees. ... I wasn't talking to anybody. Nobody was talking to anybody," said Jackson, 23, who works as a short-order cook in Detroit. "We mostly slept, but it was hard to sleep because of the heat. I probably got about four hours of sleep each night."
St. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis and several other Midwest cities have broken heat records this week. And with even low temperatures setting record highs, some residents have no means of relief, day or night.
The National Weather Service said the record-breaking heat that has baked the nation's midsection for several days was slowly moving into the mid-Atlantic states and Northeast. Excessive-heat warnings remained in
place Friday for all of Iowa, Indiana and Illinois as well as much of Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky.
St. Louis hit a record high of 105 on Thursday and a record low of 83
it doesn't take as much time to reach high temperatures in the low 100s," said Marcia Cronce, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "You know it'll be a warm day when you start out at 80 degrees."
Not even the setting of the sun brought respite as temperatures hovered around 90 degrees downtown at 10 p.m. Some visitors made their way to Millennium Park to splash in the park's kid-friendly Crown Fountain.
In Chicago on Thursday, the Shedd Aquarium lost power as temperatures soared to 103 degrees, a record for July 5. Officials said emergency generators immediately kicked in and the outage never threatened any of animals, but several hundred visitors were sent back out into the heat.
"It's hotter here than it is in Arizona," said Mary Dominis, of Tempel, who brought her daughter along to play in the water. "I came here to visit my family and to get away from the heat of Arizona."
— the second day in a row the city has broken records for both temperatures. Temperatures didn't fall below 82 in Chicago, 78 in Milwaukee and 77 in Indianapolis.
"When it doesn't cool down at night,the poor animals don't have a chance to cool down."
DEAN HINES,
RANCH OWNER
"When a day starts out that warm,
Ruben Davila, 32,
of Northern California,
was also in Chicago
visiting family,
and at the park seek
some cool relief.
"The heat has made it difficult to walk around and view the sites" said Davila, who was accompanied by his wife and three children.
The heat has been much worse than a mere inconvenience for some. St. Louis officials have reported three heat-related deaths in recent days, and officials in the Chicago area said two
people there may have died due to heat Wednesday. A coroner in Rock County, Wis., said the death of an 83-yearold woman there was definitely due to the heat. In Tennessee, authorities have opened a criminal investigation into last week's heat deaths of two young brothers.
It was hot enough to buckle roadways. The Wisconsin State Patrol said the pavement buckled Thursday on Interstate 90 westbound near Madison and on Interstate 39 northbound near Portage, among other places.
Saturday afternoon, Chicago Public Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard canceled all summer school classes Friday.
With the National Weather Service's heat warning for the city lasting until
Meanwhile, many cities have tried to help by opening cooling centers and extending the hours for their public pools. In some areas, recent storms have knocked out electricity; about 137,000 people in Michigan were without power Friday as temperatures moved steadily toward the 100-degree mark.
Lack of electricity also is likely to compound the misery for many in the storm-ravaged East as the dangerous
temperatures move in.
The heat has also taken a toll on agriculture.
Dean Hines, the owner of Hines Ranch Inc. in the western Wisconsin town of Ellsworth, said he found one of his 80 dairy cows dead Thursday, an apparent victim of the heat. He said he was worried about the rest of his herd, in terms of death toll, reproductive consequences and milk production.
"We're using fans and misters to keep them cool," he said. "It's been terrible. When it doesn't cool down at night, the poor animals don't have a chance to cool down."

Baby eagle survives wildfire but cannot fly for a year
miraculously survived a Utah wildfire last month.
SALT LAKE CITY — A baby golden eagle is recovering at a wildlife rehabilitation facility after officials say it
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kent Keller told The Salt Lake Tribune he feared the worst when he returned to the nest site west of Utah Lake to retrieve a leg band he had attached to the male eaglet June 1.

But the veteran Utah Division of Wildlife Resources volunteer found the burned bird alive on June 28 behind a charred tree, about 25 feet below the nest that was burned to a crisp in the 5.500-acre Dump Fire near Saratoga Springs.
"I thought there was no chance he would be alive. I was stunned when I saw him standing there." Keller said.
"I thought maybe I could rebuild the nest a little bit, but I took a good look at him and realized that was not going
to happen."
The 70-day-old eaglet had suffered burns on his talons, beak, head and wings. His flight feathers were melted down to within an inch or two of his wing and tail.
Keller realized the eagle would not fly for at least a year and that the parents eventually would stop providing food. Not a stick from the nest was left after the fire sparked by target shooters swept through
"I've seen nests burn before, but this is the first year I have seen one burn with young in it," he told the Tribune. "They are usually long gone and flying when fire season starts."

Students' health care changes
VICTORIA PITCHER
editor@kansan.com
Individual mandate, considered by some to be the "big fuss" part of President Obama's Affordable Health Care Act, was upheld June 28 in the supreme court.
Richard Levey, a University professor in constitutional law, said this means that various provisions in the law would make health insurance more available and less costly.
"It's a massive, big, big deal," Levey said.
Individual mandate requires that everybody have health insurance, and if they choose not to have insurance, they are fined. The individual mandate was passed after determining that the fine was actually a "tax," which therefore meant the federal government had the power to enact it.
As for students, the most relevant change is that they can now
stay on their parents' policies until they are 26.
Ashley Jimerson, a senior from Lawrence, is currently on her parents' policy. She said she thinks it's a good thing that the individual mandate was passed.
"Everyone should have the chance to have health care," Jimerson said. Jimerson will graduate in December at the age of 22. If she is unable to find a job with health benefits, she can stay on her parent's insurance for another four years
Another provision in the mandate will prevent insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions.
Those against the mandate said the individual should have the right to choose whether to have health coverage or not.
Ryan Neuhofel, doctor and owner of NeuCare Family Medicine, 346 Main St. in Lawrence, said the health care reform, which is 1,000
pages of provisions and statues, is more about health insurance than it is about health care. Neuhofel's office does not go through third party insurance to bill patients. Neuhofel said dealing with insurance companies lowers the quality of care.
"I saw both doctors and patients were losing." Neuhofel said. About 60 to 70 percent of the patients Neuhofel treats are uninsured.
Neuhofel said doctors can build lasting relationships with patients when they don't have to worry about a patients insurance changing and no longer being covered.
Levey said the issue with the mandate was never a constitutional issue, but about the government moving toward a welfare state.
"This issue goes to heart on what kind of a society we live in," Levey said. On one side of the issue, society should take care of its individuals; on the other side, the individuals should take care of themselves.
Health Care Mandate
- Everyone is required to have health insurance
- Children can stay on their parents' insurance until they are 26
- Insurance companies cannot deny patients health insurance due to preexisting conditions.
- Medicaid is expanding to cover those whose income is 138% of the poverty level.
Source: Healthcare.gov
Parts of the mandate will not go into effect for a couple of years, however, some of it will change immediately.

Dock collapses after storm
WARSAW, Mo. — Authorities say five people unaccounted for after a dock collapsed at a Missouri lake have been found safely.
Sgt. Collin Stosberg of the Missouri State Highway Patrol says a thunderstorm moved through the Sterett Creek Resort and Marina on Truman Lake in west-central Missouri when the dock gave way around 4:30 p.m. Saturday. The marina is near Warsaw, about 90 miles southeast of Kansas City.
Those unaccounted for included four fishermen. Stosberg says no injuries have been reported.
A number of boats were damaged.
Marina staff didn't return phone or email messages from The Associated Press.

Underdog claims international cherry pit spitting title
EAU CLAIRE, Mich. — Ronn Matt's wife encouraged him to enter the annual International Cherry Pit Spitting Championship in southwestern Michigan on Saturday.
It's a good thing she did.
The 46-year-old Chicagoan pulled a big upset, winning the contest in his initial try and becoming the first champion not named Krause or Lessard in 20 years.
Matt spit a pit 69 feet at Tree-
Mendus Fruit Farm near Eau Claire,
just north of the Indiana border.
Owner Herb Teichman launched the tournament on a lark nearly four decades ago. It now attracts competitors from the U.S. and beyond, and has six divisions including dignitaries.
Since 1992, members of the Krause and Lessard families have dominated the event.
Brian "Young Gun" Krause of Dimondale holds the world-record spit more than 93 feet and had won the past two years. But the 34-year-old finished fifth
Saturday with a spit of 52 feet,10 inches.
Krause's father, Rick "Pellet Gun" Krause, came in second with a spit of 61 feet, 2 inches. And Brian Krause's brother, Matt, earned a third-place finish with his 60-foot, 11-inch spit.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The tournament typically is timed to the start of the cherry harvest, but competition spokeswoman Lynne Sage said that due to an unusually warm spring, it's already complete. Saturday's installment was held in sweltering temperatures.

'Andy Griffith Show one of the best ever

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — With Andy Griffith's passing, America loses one of its last living links to the early days of television.
"This is a big one," pop culture expert Robert J. Thompson said. "Andy Griffith was just one person. But he's symbolic of that era. With his death, the early days of television have receded into history and the stuff of museums, and directors' commentary on DVD."
To be sure, there are a few icons left who can speak about the start of traditional commercial network programming back in 1948.

"But that generation has pretty much disappeared now," said Thompson. "If you want to learn about that time, you just can't call people up who were involved with it anymore."
Thompson said "The Andy Griffith Show," which ran from 1960 to 1968, is easily one of the best shows — if not the single best — ever on TV.
"If I were to make a list of the greatest shows on TV, you've got 'Your Show of Shows,' and 'I Love Lucy' and so on," he said. "But at the very top of that heap I would put 'The Andy Griffith Show.' That, to me, is one of the most exquisitely executed series of all time."
But the biggest compliment, Thompson said, is that the show stands the test of time.
Thompson suggests trying to seek out the first season of the show. Viewers might be surprised to find Griffith playing a small town sheriff named Andy Taylor with more of a goofball bent. But it soon became clear that the show's ensemble cast was the perfect showcase for the comic genius of Don Knotts, who played Taylor's deputy, Barney Fife.
Now, Griffith could have tried to compete with Knotts — after all, the show was called "The Andy Griffith Show." But, Thompson said, Griffith was wise enough to step back and let Knotts shine.
In the end, it served both men's careers handsomely.
"Andy became more of the straight man," Thompson said. "Andy had the modesty and the intelligence as an actor to adjust ... That made his character such a paternal, fatherly, likeable, warm, fuzzy character, and that's why people responded so much to that show and that role."

Singer Justin Bieber-performs during the 2012 Much Music Video Awards on June 17th in Toronto. Bieber's "Believe" is the year's top-selling debut.
Bieber gets ticket blames paparazzi
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Justin Bieber is used to attracting crowds. But he had at least one follower too many when somebody tailed him on a Los Angeles freeway, and it led to a speeding ticket for the teen idol.
The singer of "Boyfriend" and "Baby" was cited for driving in excess of 65 mph at about 10:45 a.m. Friday, after calls came in complaining of a freeway chase on southbound U.S. Highway 101 near Studio City, said Officer Ming Hsu of the California Highway Patrol.
The 18-year-old crooner told officers he was being chased by paparazzi, and investigators confirmed he was being followed by at least one vehicle, Hsu said.
"The second vehicle left the area and there's a search to find that driver," Hsu said. Hsu did not have a description of the other vehicle.
The claim of a chase is backed by an unlikely eyewitness, Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine, who called authorities after seeing Bieber's distinctive chrome Fisker Karma being chased by five or six other cars.
A call and an email to Bieber's publicist weren't immediately returned.
On his morning commute to City Hall, Zine, who spent 33 years as a police officer, said he saw Bieber's sports car drive up behind him and zoom around him, weaving wildly in and out of traffic while five or six other cars gave chase.
Zine estimated the chase exceeded 100 mph as paparazzi engaged in wild maneuvers to keep up with Bieber, including driving
on the shoulder and cutting off other vehicles.
SUDOKU
Zine said Bieber was breaking the law by driving recklessly and speeding, and the paparazzi were breaking the law by hounding him.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Miami rapper Pitbull might soon be chilling out in Alaska.
Pitbull might be sent to Alaska Walmart by Facebook contest
In a marketing deal, Walmart will send Pitbull, aka Armando Christian Perez, to the store that gets the most "likes" on its Facebook page.
Right now, the leading candidate is Kodiak, Alaska. And there might be a reason.
A writer for The Boston Phoenix newspaper thought it'd be funny to send Pitbull to the most remote Walmart possible, and is encouraging people to "like" the Walmart in Kodiak.
It seems to be working.
The Kodiak Walmart had more than 35,000 "likes" Monday, more than five times the town's population.
Kodiak has a significant lead in the contest to land Pitbull, but actual numbers weren't immediately available, Walmart spokeswoman Sarah Spencer said.
She says other Walmart shoppers have until July 16 to like their local stores and pull ahead of Kodiak.
"I know Pitbull is hoping his Miami Walmart shoppers start liking their Facebook page,"she said.

MEDIA
Student media deserves support
The college student newspaper is a legitimate source of campus news.It's also the testing ground for tomorrow's reporters, from political muckrakers to entertainment tabloid writers. It's a chance for students to exercise their rights to free press, granted by Supreme Court interpretation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
By Vikaas Shanker
vshanker@kansan.com
But one look at the Student Press Law Center's website will show that the rights of student journalists and their publications are being challenged nationwide by university administrations and student governments in the form of adviser removals, editorial takeovers, newspaper thefts and threats to cut funding.
It's vital for a student newspaper to maintain independent control, both for its credibility and to be responsible for its own content. Student reporters are legally held responsible for their content and can be sued for libel; so they should have the ability to control their own voice without pressure from outside the
newsroom.
Editorially independent student newspapers, and radio and television stations are college students' only hope for a strictly student voice.
In June, the student newspaper for the University of Nevada - Las Vegas narrowly avoided having its editor picked by the student government. The SPLC also reported thefts of 12 different college newspapers since January.
Within the past year, College of DuPage's (Ill.) Courier student newspaper — a paper I ran as editor from 2010 to 2011 — has been sacked by an administration that was upset
over years of critical coverage of the college president and board.
College of DuPage administration removed the newspaper's adviser, replaced it with a part-timer who attempted to tamper with the editorial process, and debilitated two successful subsidiary publications of the newspaper. The Courier's oncevied advertising power is now rubble.
But the biggest loser is the college's student body, which will not see the same in-depth coverage of the college for many years to come.
It's folly to think this can't happen to the Kansan.
The Constitution of The University Daily Kansan states that this newspaper serves as the official newspaper of KU students. A board that includes representatives from the School of Journalism, Kansan management and the Student Senate governs it. It's a pretty safe system.
While enjoying relative independence over the past 10 years, the Kansan had its moments.
In 2010, Student Senate proposed to cut a $1.70 student fee allocated to the Kansan, a decision based on the newspaper's coverage of Senate. This never passed. But if it did, the Kansan would have lost 8 percent of its $1.1 million budget — a sizeable loss for a college newspaper.
The Kansan covers everything KU, from men's basketball to campus crime. It keeps you updated on changes to the enrollment system, and gives you the lowdown on student elections. And the freedom a college newspaper runs on is tied to the same rights given to you.
So when you hear or read about any student newspaper dealing with unjust censorship, give the newspaper your educated support. Because having that happen to the Kansan would really suck.
Shanker is the editor-in-chief of The University Daily Kansan. He is a senior from Naperville, Ill.

Camps keep kids active, making friends
ROYA IBRAHIMI editor@kansan.com
Students from elementary school to college all look forward to summer break: the chance to stay up late, the time off from schoolwork and enjoying the pools. For some students, summer is an opportunity to meet new people and learn new things. One of the many ways new memories and friends are made is through a camp.
The University offers several camps that are held throughout the summer, but one in particular that has flourished and continues to grow is the KU Sports Skills and Fitness School. This camp has been around for 32 years.
Camp manager Melissa Greene has been involved with the camp since her undergraduate years at the University. She has been managing the camp for the last five years.
Greene says the camp is designed for children ages 5 to 12. It is meant to teach the children basic sports
skills and keep them active.
Camp counselor Candace Hogue, a second year doctoral student in sports and psychology at the University, says the camp is to show the kids the fun aspect of being fit and healthy.
"I like this camp because it's focused on positivity." Hogue said. "It's focused on individual strengths with the kids. The activities are cooperative games, but they make fitness really fun and I think that makes a really big difference because we want kids to want to workout."
Campers Marguerite Cooper, 8 and Hailey Vardiman, 7, both from Lawrence, are prime examples of having positive outlooks. The two go to different schools and during this camp have made new friends.
Vardiman said she wanted to be at the camp to have fun and get a chance to play sports while meeting new friends.
Agreeing with what her new friend said, Cooper expanded on her reason why she is happy to be
here.
"I want to get to do sports," Cooper said. "I wouldn't really get to do sports if I wouldn't be here."
The camp runs two sessions in the summer and is currently on its second session. Each period last three weeks. The class begins every afternoon at 1 and lasts until 4:15. During those hours the children rotate to four different activities every 30 minutes, learning new sport skills like basketball, soccer, rhythm and dance and much more. Then they finish off with swimming lessons and then get a chance to play in the water.
"We're not focusing on one certain sport. We're introducing everything and giving kids a variety of activities and a chance to learn skills at the same time," Greene said. "These kids come and meet other kids from schools and make new friends and it's just a fun time for everybody really."

CRIME
DNA sample solves 23-year-old murder
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Missouri man forced to provide a DNA sample after pleading guilty in a drunken driving case has been charged in a 23-year-old killing.
Prosecutors announced Friday that Guy Shannon Jr., 43, of Odessa, faces charges of first-degree murder and forcible rape. Shannon is accused of strangling and assaulting Marcia Lynn Davis, 20, of Independence, in March 1989.
Davis was last seen leaving the Jackson County Jail after visiting a friend. A homeless person found her partially clad body in an abandoned apartment building the next day, according to a probable cause statement filed in the case.
Shannon became a suspect after he was convicted of driving while intoxicated in 2010 and, as a felon, had to give a DNA sample. It was entered in a database and ultimately linked him to genetic material found on Davis' body.
In the early 1970s, Kansas City police started more carefully archiving physical evidence from hundreds of unsolved homicides, rapes and other crimes, often storing it in a giant freezer in the city's crime lab. Ensuing technological advances made the practice pay off, with numerous cold cases solved with the old physical evidence.
When interviewed, Shannon said he had never seen Davis before. He told authorities he had never been to the building where her body was found.
Shannon requested an attorney when told his DNA was found on the victim, the probable cause statement said.
Although the charges were filed Monday, the case was temporarily sealed until Thursday, when the warrant was served. Bond has been set at $350,000.
One of the most newsworthy arrests was of Lorenzo Gilyard, a former trash company supervisor initially charged with killing 13 women. In 2007, he was convicted of six of the killings.

KELSEA ECKENROTH editor@kansan.com
Next time you're in class, look at the person sitting next to you. He or she could be a future superstar or president. Many University alumni have gone on to become actors, professional athletes, politicians, and other notable figures, some of whom you may not know walked around the same campus as you.
Juan Manuel Santos
Gale Sayers
Juan Manuel Santos is the current president of Colombia. He graduated in 1973 with degrees in economics and business. Santos was elected in 2010 and is serving a four-year term. Before becoming president, Santos served three years as defense minister and played a role in the 2008 rescue mission that freed Ingrid Betancourt, a former Colombian presidential candidate held captive by the rebel group the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
Former Kansas football player Gale Sayers is the youngest football player in NFL history to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He played for the Chicago Bears from 1965 to 1971. His career was cut short because of a knee injury, but he had a career total of 4,956 rushing yards and 39 rushing touchdowns. In 1965, Sayers scored a rookie record of 22 touchdowns and 132 points. He was awarded NFL Rookie of the Year.
Lynette Woodard
Lynette Woodard is a former Kansas basketball player who went on to play in the WNBA. In the 1984 Olympics, Woodard was a member of the American women's basketball team that won the gold medal.

Billy Mills
Billy Mills is known for winning the gold medal in the men's 10,000-meter race at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. Mills set a world record for the event with a time of 28:24.4. Mills grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota and earned a track scholarship to Kansas. Today, Mills is still the only American to ever win a gold medal in the 10,000 meters.

Paul Rudd
Steven Hawley
Steven Hawley is a former NASA astronaut who flew five missions in space. "I always felt quite privileged to have been entrusted with the responsibility," Hawley said. He said he never thought held be selected, but his preparation allowed him to be competitive for an opportunity he thought held'd never have. Hawley used that example to explain that if a student is well prepared, they can have a chance for opportunities they never thought they'd have.
Actor Paul Rudd is a favorite among University students. Rudd has been in movies such as "Knocked Up," "The 40 Year Old Virgin," "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "Clueless" and "Role Models." He also appeared on the television show "Friends." Amanda Seurer, a senior from Abilene, saw Rudd for the first time when she watched "Clueless," where Rudd wears a Kansas baseball hat in a few of the scenes. "It was cool to watch the movie after I had already started at KU and see him wear the KU hat," she said.
Wilt Chamberlain
Wilt Chamberlain is a former Kansas basketball player and NBA superstar. He played for the Philadelphia Warriors and was later traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, and ended his career playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. Chamberlain was enshrined to Basketball Hall of Fame in 1979.
Alan Mulallv

He has been in television shows such as "Homeland," "Dead Like Me," and "Criminal Minds." Patinkin has been in Broadway shows and won the award for Best Actor in the 1980 Tony Awards for his role as Ernesto 'Che' Guevara in "Evita."
Paul Pierce
- Paul Pierce is a former Kansas basketball player and current player for the Boston Celtics. He's played professional basketball for 14 years and has a career total of 6,164 rebounds, 3,935 assists, and 22,591 points. Last September, Pierce came back to Lawrence and played in the Legends of the Phog game. Tyler Adams, a recent graduate and Celtics fan who grew up in Massachusetts, said he thought this showed Pierce's loyalty to the Jayhawks. "Even though he is an NBA champion," Adams said, "he still finds the time to revisit his roots."

Sophomore runs for Kansas house seat
JESSICA TIERNEY editor@kansan.com
Usually, when a 19-year-old student on campus has a complaint, he turns to a few typical forums: the Free for All, Wescoe Beach, maybe even an op-ed in the Kansan. With the hectic schedule of being a student and young adult, a lot of people simply don't have the time or energy to take their complaint much further.
One 19-year-old, however, is taking his involvement to a much higher level.
PETER LEE
Mitchell Rucker, a sophomore from Burdett studying political science and economics, is currently running for a seat in 117th District of the Kansas House of Representatives. His first contest will be the Aug. 7 Republican primary in which he faces one other candidate, John Ewv. ofletmore.

ern central Kansas. Very small. According to the 2010 United States census, the city population was 247. It's a town of farmers and open fields. The café, bank and antique shop are the main attractions of the city center. The town's school recently closed, something Rucker has not taken lightly.
Despite its small size, it's also a town driven by community, unity, and tradition. According to Rucker, these are some of the qualities that compelled him to run.
The general election for the seat will be Nov. 6.
"Running has always been something I've planned to do," Rucker said. "This is a great first experience."

especially lately," Rucker said. "The new state budget could have severely adverse effects on them."
"He realized this is an opportunity that doesn't come along that often," Wiles said.
Often, Rucker said, the needs of towns like Burdett are ignored by the state legislature.
Rucker stands about 5 feet 7 inches. His eyes are wide and intense. He speaks calmly. As a prime example of this, when others were running and screaming as a bat flew overhead in the room Rucker was in for this interview, he simply ducked and smirked.
Despite his age and relatively recent move to Lawrence, Rucker has already managed to make a name for himself.

He is the treasurer for Amnesty International, a member of both the student and University senates, a research assistant in the political science department, and a volunteer with the Center for Community Outreach.
Alex Rippburger, a senior from Olathe, was on the Student Senate Finance Committee with Rucker last year and immediately noticed his forthrightness.
"Even as a freshman, he stood up for what he believed in," said Rippburger. "I've never known Mitch to be timid."
Rucker has known his primary opponent, John Ewy, for many years. They maintain a friendly relationship, but Rucker believes
he holds more moderate positions. He doesn't think his age will be held against him in light of his opponent's.
"All of my feedback has been very supportive," Rucker said. "People
will listen to the ideas and judge me more so for that."

Wescoe Beach undergoes much needed renovation

It may look like a mess now, but Wescoe Beach is in the middle of a makeover.
The University Student Senate passed a bill allocating $100,000 to help fund the Wescoe Beach Renovation Project in March and construction on the campus landmark began June 15. The project plan includes adding additional seating, relocating of two light poles and adding another, and the installation of trees and electrical outlets.
Construction is expected to finish August 1. Funding for the project came from Student Senate's reserve funding and the Campus Safety Advisory Board's allocation of $25,000, both of which
were matched dollar-for-dollar by University administration, which brought the total project estimation to $250,000.
Former Student Body Vice President Gabe Bliss saw the remodel as a necessary action for such a notable place on campus.
"Students are always out there, they gather there and eat lunch, so it was really important that the students step up and say that it was time for change," said Bliss, a junior from Olathe. "It's one of the places that alums still talk about, and it hasn't been remodeled since the '70s. If we're going to have a spot for us, we might as well make it better than what is."

Cyclists to help build Lawrence house
DYLAN DERRYBERRY editor@kansan.com
On an average summer day, recent University graduate Josh Burdett bikes about 70 miles or spends a few hours putting shingles on a roof. While this may seem like hard work to some, Burdett is a part of a group of 32 cyclists traveling across the country this summer to raise awareness for affordable housing with the nonprofit group Bike & Build.
Aside from working on his tan lines, Burdett, a former member of the KU Cycling team, said the opportunity has given him a chance to see the country, make lasting memories and help the community through his passion for cycling.
"I feel like I owe a lot to the communities I have been a part of, Lawrence specifically, and I thought Bike & Build would be a great way to give back," said Burdett, an environmental sciences graduate from Midland, Texas. "Our mileage
ranges from 27 to 117 on the shortest and longest days respectively. The biking shows just how dedicated each participant is."
The group, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, began its 4,040-mile journey June 7 in Providence, R.I. They continue until Aug. 18, when they will arrive at Half Moon Bay, Calif. The group has scheduled 11 build days to help work with various low-income housing organizations. Bike & Build will make its way to Lawrence for two build
days on July 11 and 12 to help the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity build its 80th home.
"They'll be working at our house on 19th and Maple with the Hameed family who moved here from Nigeria in 2003," said Lori Hars, Director of Operations for the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity. "They are so eager to have this house, and they are very hard workers."
Lawrence Habitat for Humanity has worked with the community to gather resources for Bike & Build participants, which include rooms at the Spring Hill Suites and food from Johnny's Tavern and Pride
Burger.
Bike & Build Director of Operations and Outreach Justin Villere said the group isn't solely for experienced cyclists. He said that part of their goal is to reach out to participants who haven't done this before.
"The only thing we require is passion," Villere said. "There are millions of Americans who don't have a sustainable place to live. So, we want to make a difference, and that's what our riders are doing."

Minnesota hunters make mansion stands
DULUTH, Minn. — Hunters are building elaborate platforms in Minnesota trees so that they can watch for deer in comfort.
Typical deer stands consist of a few boards nailed into a tree to allow hunters to see above the brush.
But St. Louis County Land Commissioner Bob Krepps tells The Duluth News Tribune he's seeing stands with stairways, decks,
shingled roofs, commercial windows, insulation, propane heaters, carpeting, lounge chairs, tables and even occasionally generators.
Krepps calls the stands "mansions" in the trees.
The newspaper reported Sunday that one deer stand found on county land was an 18-by-20-foot cabin.
It says some hunters are even planting crops on public land to attract deer and make it easier to get a shot.

Zimmerman in safe house after posting bail for second time
ORLANDO, Fla. — The neighborhood watch leader charged with fatally shooting Trayvon Martin is in a safe house that is being protected by his security team.
George Zimmerman was
released Friday after posting bail for the second time on a second-degree murder charge. His attorney said Sunday he was in Seminole County in central Florida.
Some of Martin's supporters have been angry Zimmerman was not arrested until 46 days after the February shooting, and Zimmerman has received death threats.
He was released from jail after his defense fund helped him post 10 percent of the $1 million bond.
A judge revoked his previous $150,000 bond last month when prosecutors presented evidence that Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about how much money they had.

Storms cause damage to Tennessee parks
BENZORAH

Workers clear storm damage from Great Smoky Mountains National Park on Saturday, July 7, 2012, near Townsend, Tenn., as rangers shifted their focus Saturday from rescue efforts to reopening the popular area to the public.
TOWNSEND, Tenn. — In a matter of minutes, a violent summer storm turned Ashley and Scott Hacker's idyllic trip to the Great Smoky Mountains into a terrifying scene.
The couple was teaching their son to fly fish Thursday when the winds suddenly picked up. The family jumped into their car for safety and as they started to drive away, trees began to popling around them. A large branch crashed through car's sun roof, narrowly missing the Hackers' 12-year-old son.
"All I know is that we were so lucky that day, because there were people who weren't as lucky," Ashley Hacker said. "It was fine, it was beautiful, and then it wasn't."
Two people inside the park were killed and two others died in Chattanooga when the winds overturned a double-decker pontoon boat on Chickamauga Lake. Several other people were injured.
Ashley Hacker was shaking as she retold her family's survival story. She said Noah had made his first cast when the winds began to howl. The family retreated to their car and they weren't more than 50 yards down the road when trees began to fall.
Officials reopened a main road and several campgrounds Saturday at the popular Cades Cove section of the park, which is located on the Tennessee-North Carolina border.
The branch that crashed through the extended sun roof tore their son's T-shirt, but he was not hurt.
"The branches were up against our car and there was more falling and people were trying to get to us but they couldn't, so I kicked and I kicked until I got the door open. If nothing else, I had to get him out of there," Ashley Hacker said.
Two other nearby cars were hit by boulders and rocks, but no one inside the cars was hurt.
The Hackers said they had to gather firewood because the temperatures dropped after the storm passed.
After a deluge, the Hackers began walking up the road, but turned back when they heard someone say a motorcyclist had been killed up ahead. The other deaths in the park occurred when a tree fell into a swimming hole.
The dead included a 41-year-old Tennessee man.
"We went into survival mode," she said. "We gathered as much as we could ... and people all started coming to that area because they saw the fire. We had about 20 in that area all banded together."

SCIENCE
Scientists discover important particle
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GENEVA, Switzerland — Scientists at the world's biggest atom smasher hailed the discovery of "the missing cornerstone of physics" Wednesday, cheering the apparent end of a decades-long quest for a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, or "God particle", which could help explain why all matter has mass and crack open a new realm of subatomic science.
First proposed as a theory in the 1960s, the maddeningly elusive Higgs had been hunted by at least two generations of physicists who believed it would help shape our understanding of how the universe began and how its most elemental pieces fit together.
As the highly technical findings were announced by two independent teams
involving more than 5,000 researchers, the usually sedate corridors of the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, erupted in frequent applause and standing ovations. Physicists who spent their careers in pursuit of the particle shed tears.
The new particle appears to share many of the same qualities as the one predicted by Scottish physicist Peter Higgs and others and is perhaps the biggest accomplishment at CERN since its founding in 1954 outside Geneva along the Swiss-French border.
Rolf Heuer, director of CERN, said the newly discovered particle is a boson, but he stopped just shy of claiming outright that it is the Higgs boson itself — an extremely fine distinction.
"As a layman, I think we did it," he told the elated crowd. "We have a
discovery. We have observed a new particle that is consistent with a Higgs boson"
The Higgs, which until now had been purely theoretical, is regarded as key to understanding why matter has mass, which combines with gravity to give all objects weight.

DID YOU KNOW? $1 overdraft can lead to $98 in fees
The idea is much like gravity and Isaac Newton's early theories. Gravity was there all the time before Newton explained it. The Higgs boson was believed to be there, too. And now that scientists have actually seen something much like it, they can put that knowledge to further use.

Rolf Heuer, left, Director General of CERN and Joe Incandela, right, CMS experiment spokesperson, answer journalists' questions at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Meyrin near Geneva, Switzerland, Wednesday, July 4, 2012.
The center's atom smasher, the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider, sends protons whizzing around a circular 27-kilometer (17-mile) underground tunnel at nearly the speed of light to create high-energy collisions. The aftermath of those impacts can offer clues about dark matter, antimatter and the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang.
Each of the teams confirmed Wednesday that they had "observed" a new subatomic particle — a boson. Heuer said the discovery was "most probably a Higgs boson, but we have to find out what kind of Higgs boson it is." He referred to the discovery as a missing cornerstone of science.
Most of the particles that result from the collisions exist for only the smallest fractions of a second. But finding a Higgs-like boson was one of the biggest challenges in physics: Out of some 500 trillion collisions, just several dozen produced "events" with significant data, said Joe Incandela of the University of California at Santa Barbara, leader of the team known as CMS, with 2,100 scientists.
As the leaders of the two teams presented their evidence, applause punctuated their talks.
"Thanks, nature!" joked Fabiola Gianotti, the Italian physicist who heads the team called ATLAS, with 3,000 scientists, drawing laughter from the crowd.
Later, she told reporters that the standard model of physics is still incomplete because "the dream is to find an ultimate theory that explains everything. We are far from that."
Incandela said it was too soon to say definitively whether the particle was exactly the same as envisioned by Higgs and others, who proposed the existence of an energy field where all particles interact with a key particle, the Higgs boson.
Higgs, who was invited to be in the
audience, said Wednesday's discovery appears to be close to what he predicted.
"It is an incredible thing that it has happened in my lifetime," he said, calling the discovery a huge achievement for the proton-smashing collider.
Outside CERN, the announcement seemed to ricochet around the world with some of the speed and energy of the particle itself.
In an interview with the BBC, the world's most famous physicist, Stephen Hawking, said Higgs deserved the Nobel Prize. Hawking said he had placed a wager with another scientist that the Higgs boson would never be found.
"It seems I have just lost $100," he said.
Marc Sher, a professor of physics at William & Mary College, said most observers concluded in December that the Higgs boson would soon be discovered, but he was "still somewhat stunned by the results."
The phrase "God particle" is used mostly by laymen as an easier way of explaining the theory.

CRIME
Father and sons prosecuted for shooting agent watching home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARGILL, Texas — A father and two sons shot at a federal immigration agent parked outside their home along the Texas border this week because they were afraid someone was going to break in, a relative told a newspaper.
U. S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent Kelton Harrison was shot in the back early Tuesday, when prosecutors say Pedro Alvarez and his sons, ages 18 and 16, fired at Harrison's vehicle and chased the agent as he sped away. Prosecutors say Harrison had been watching for an anticipated drug deal. His condition is improving.
Amparo Ramirez, the family matriarch, told the San Antonio Express-News in a story published Saturday that Harrison was parked on the next-door property and that no attempt was made to notify home owners of surveillance activity.
"They thought it was somebody breaking in," Ramirez said. "The ICE didn't identify itself. The kids explained what they did."
Alvarez, 41, and his 18-year-old son, Arnoldo Alvarez, are charged with assault of a federal officer and knowingly using and carrying a firearm during a violent crime. His younger son has been charged with attempted capital murder in a state district court.
A criminal complaint alleges that the 16-year-old, whose identity is being withheld because of his age, fired about six shots from a .22 caliber rifle and that Arnoldo Alvarado fired "numerous" shots from a 9mm handgun as they rode in a vehicle being driven by their father. The vehicle had its headlights off in the pre-dawn darkness as it drove by Harrison, according to the complaint.
After being shot, Harrison was able to drive for several miles while the
three allegedly followed, continuing to fire before the agent lost control of his sport utility vehicle. Other agents arrived on the scene, and one rushed Harrison to the hospital, where he underwent surgery.
Carlos Ramirez, the boys' uncle, told the newspaper that Alvarez's two sons "got scared" the night of the shooting. He said Arnoldo Alvarado spoke of going to school to be an air-conditioning technician and was planning to marry his high school sweetheart.
"They ain't bad boys, that's for sure," Ramirez said. "The only thing they did was play football."
The shooting happened near Hargill, about 25 miles northeast of the U.S.-Mexico border town of McAllen. According to the criminal complaint, Arnoldo Alvarado told authorities that his father spotted what he considered a suspicious vehicle and told him and the other teen "to get the guns."

HAPPY HOUR
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
Lawrence resident Sean Wilson talks to bartender Darla Berman Saturday night at The Jackpot Saloon. Since the new law for happy hours in Kansas went into effect July 1, The Jackpot is easing its way into new specials and waiting to see how it affects business.
Happy hour ban lifted in Kansas starting July 1
ANNA ALLEN
aallen@kansan.com
Since 1985, Kansas bars and restaurants have been prohibited from offering happy hour promotions for alcohol. That changed on July 1, when a new law allowing happy hours went into effect.
Previously, many bars had been operating within a loophole by offering day-long specials. From $2.50 schooners at Louise's and half-price martinis at The Eldridge on Thursdays to $1 margaritas on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Tapas Mexican Food.
The Jackpot Saloon owner, Eric Berman, said he's waiting to see how other bars react to the new laws before implementing any new happy hour plans.
"You follow the trends in this business," Bermán said. "Watch what the competition does."
Meanwhile, Ryan Callihan, a graduate student from Lenexa, said he's normally busy with class or work during the time happy hours are offered, which is usually between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The Casbah Burger Stand on Mass, however, seems to have a solution to Callihan's problem.

Kyle Black, a University graduate from Lawrence, said he's always found it odd that Kansas laws didn't allow happy hours. "It seemed to be that Kansas was behind the times," Black said.
Though it's still early to tell how the new laws will affect businesses, Black said he thinks it will help drive customers.

The Kansas City Star reported that the chase started early Sunday after Roeland Park police attempted to stop a suspicious motorist.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says the vehicle fled and lost control a
short time later around an entrance to Interstate 35.
The occupants were ejected, and the vehicle caught fire and burned.
The names of the victims weren't immediately released.The patrol didn't say how many people were in the vehicle.
The patrol says alcohol was in the vehicle, but it's unclear whether it played a role in the crash. The accident is under investigation.

Museum sees All-Star recovery
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is banking on a boost from All-Star game festivities in Kansas City this weekend as it continues to recover from the brink of closure.
The museum had fallen on hard times during the economic downturn, due in part to politics and in-fighting. But the museum has largely recovered over the past year, just in time for Major League
Baseball to bring its annual Midsummer Classic to its doorstep.
Events are planned throughout the weekend at the museum, located in the historic 18th and Vine District. Hank Aaron and Frank Robinson are among the stars involved.
Museum president Bob Kendrick won't even hazard a guess as to how many people will push through the turnstiles, but he expects a financial windfall approaching $500,000.

WICHITA, Kan. — Authorities say a Wichita woman stripped nude in a police car and kicked out a window.
The Wichita Eagle reported that it happened Friday night when police responded to report that a 35-year-old was exposing herself to residents at an apartment complex.
Police Sgt. Scott Brunow says the woman was partially clothed when officers arrived. She was arrested,
handcuffed and placed in the back seat of a patrol car, where she managed to undress herself.
Police say she then kicked out a side rear window.
The woman was arrested on suspicion of public nudity and criminal damage to property. Brunow says there is "no indication" whether the woman was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Creator of website posting mugs of arrested criticized by public
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHAWNEE, Kan. — A northeastern Kansas man whose website posted mug shots and addresses of people arrested in Johnson County — then asked for up to $200 to take them down — is defending the site in the wake of a massive backlash from critics who complained it took advantage of people who hadn't been convicted of anything.
Matthew Creed, 30, of Shawnee, said he developed the website, Blabbermouthkc.com, as a community service to help make people aware of potential lawbreakers in their area.
"That was the biggest thing, to make others aware of those that were living around them that were breaking the law and to try to get those breaking the law to think twice about their future actions." Creed said Friday.
extortion or blackmail. The Johnson County District Attorney's office said Friday it was continuing to investigate whether Creed had violated any state laws.
Critics slammed the website, which launched in May, saying it was akin to
"This guy is just a bottom-feeding vulture," said Jay Norton, a lawyer in Johnson County who represented some people featured on the website. "The idea that he was trying to help the community is a total farce."
Creed's website featured a map of the Kansas City metro area with dots showing the Kansas or Missouri hometowns of people arrested in Johnson County. Clicking on the dots brought up the mugshots and addresses of people arrested — whether they were formally charged, much less convicted, The Kansas City Star reported.
Some of the photos were of people arrested for such infractions as being a minor in possession of tobacco or driving with expired registration.
Creed said Friday that the current version of the site was an initial test version and that it hasn't yet been fully realized. The site was temporarily offline late Thursday but was back up Friday evening.
"It's going through a transition," Creed said. He said in the future, he would like the website to focus more on charges related to drugs, alcohol, sex abuse and child support nonpayment, and perhaps eliminate some of the lesser charges.
Numerous websites post news of arrests, and often include mug shots. Some offer people a way to get such postings removed for a fee. Creed struck a nerve by combining both features, including an elaborate scale of payments to remove photos and arrest information from the site — $199.99 for prompt removal, $149.99 for removal within a few days.
Creed said he is seeking to have the site established as a nonprofit.

Kobach defends legality of proof-of-citizenship law
---
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Voter ID laws designed to deter fraud may block thousands of legitimate ballots.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Secretary of State Kris Kobach is confident the courts will uphold a Kansas law that will require some potential voters to prove their U.S. citizenship starting next year, despite an ongoing legal dispute over a similar policy in Arizona.
Kobach contends his state's proof-of-citizenship law is sound because it was drafted to avoid issues facing the Arizona law, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported
last week.
The law will require people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas to present proof that they're American citizens to elections officials.
The proof-of-citizenship requirement was included in a package of elections changes legislators approved last year at Kobach's urging. Another measure in the package, requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, took effect this year.

Kobach asked lawmakers this year to move up the effective date of the proof-of-citizenship rule to June 15, so that it would be in place before this year's election. Skeptical state senators blocked the proposal, delaying the rule's start until next year.
As Kansas lawmakers reviewed Kobach's proposal to move up the effective date of the proof-of-citizenship rule, a federal appeals court blocked Arizona's law, ruling that it conflicted with a federal statute allowing people to mail in voter registration cards without providing documents to prove their citizenship. However, Arizona is being allowed to enforce its policy while the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether to hear the case.
Instead, Kansas election officials hold the forms until a person's citizenship can be verified.
Kobach, a former University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor, said the Kansas law doesn't automatically reject federal voter registration forms, as the Arizona law did.
Kobach said the Kansas law was drafted "anticipating that somebody might try to sue."
The secretary of state's website contains links for forms allowing potential voters to seek a free ID
along with, if necessary, a free Kansas birth certificate or a birth certificate from another state.
But Louis Goseland, coordinator of KanVote, a Wichita-based group opposed to Kobach's initiatives, contends such efforts show that the laws he pushed "contain gaping holes."
"The law is, I think, virtually bulletproof."
Kobach's comments come as his office prepares for what will be the biggest test so far of the requirement that voters show photo ID at the polls — the state's Aug. 7 primary election. The secretary of state has said local elections have gone smoothly with the policy in place, with little voter confusion or problems.
"The law is, I think, virtually bulletproof," he said.
"There are still a lot of voters in the dark about this," he said.
Meanwhile, Kobach contends the proof-of-citizenship rule will prevent election fraud by ensuring that illegal immigrants and other non-citizens don't register to vote. His office found 32 non-citizens registered last year; he believes that is a fraction of the actual total, though there are no firm figures.
Kansas has about 1.7 million registered voters, and fewer than 10 cases were reported over the past decade of non-citizens voting or attempting to vote. Critics suggest a proof-of-citizenship rule is unnecessary and will suppress

turnout, particularly among poor, minority, elderly and college-aged voters.
Many critics also have wanted to wait until a $40 million computer upgrade at the state Division
of Vehicles is operating smoothly.
Kansas requires all people seeking or renewing a license to prove they're U.S. citizens. The upgrade is supposed to then allow the division to automatically transfer electronic copies of birth certificates and other documents proving citizenship to election officials. But the new system has experienced problems since being rolled out in May, resulting in long lines at motor vehicle offices across the state.
Rep. Ann Mah, a Topeka Democrat and a vocal critic of Kobach, said Kansas should delay the proof-of-citizenship provision until after the Division of Vehicles has a reliable database of citizenship documents.
"When we get it built, then require birth certificates to vote," she said.
Kobach has argued that the state could move forward without the upgrade, though it would make administering the proof-of-citizenship rule easier.

A promised payment in pennies is proudly presented pleasantly
MILFORD, Mass. — A Massachusetts man who pledged to make the last mortgage payment on his home with pennies has fulfilled that promise.
Daigle dropped off about 62,000 pennies weighing 800 pounds in two boxes for the final payment on the Milford home he and his wife, Sandra, bought in 1977.
After warning his bank, Thomas
He tells The Milford Daily News
that he just wanted to make his last payment on April 24 "memorable."
He started saving his pennies when he moved in.
The optician says his wife laughed whenever he would
pick up a penny he found on the ground and say it was going to the mortgage.
Daigle says he's just glad to have the coins out of his house.

FRESHMAN ARRIVES
VIRAJ AMIN
vamin@kansan.com
The decision for Anrio Adams to play basketball at the University of Kansas was easy for the freshmen from Seattle. The difficult part for Adams was becoming academically eligible in the last six months.
The 6-3 guard attended three different high schools in Washington, and at one point was supposed to join St. Patricks (N.J.) his senior year but ended up finishing his high school career at Rainer Beach in Seattle.
"Hard work and dedication," Adams said. "It was on me if I wanted to be here or not. So I worked as hard as I could.
"The toughest part for me was politics. A lot of people that shake your hand you don't know are working against you. I didn't realize it until I went back home."
Adams, who prefers to be called 'Rio, is the godson of Bull Stewart, who is the father of former Kansas guard Rodrick Stewart.
Adams said Rodrick told him about the family atmosphere at Kansas, how tradition rich the school was and, of course, about the passion of the fans in Lawrence.
"You can't really beat it," Adams said. "It's a basketball state, and this is where I wanted to be."
Rainer Beach has a long history of producing basketball talent, not only at the collegiate level but also in the NBA. Players such as Ryan Anderson, Doug Christie, Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson, Lodrick Stewart, Rodrick Stewart and C.J. Giles all came from Rainer Beach.
Kansas head coach Bill Self said Adams has a chance to be special.
"I really think Anrio, based on what we've been told and what we've seen, has a chance to be one of the very best ones to come out of there," Self said. "He's capable of being an elite guard."
Last season, Adams was named the Associated Press 3A state player of the year in Washington. Adams had offers from Arizona, Washington and Washington St. among other schools but committed to Kansas on Nov. 19.
"A lot of schools were involved in the Pac-12." Adams said. "I felt like I was a little bigger than the Pac-12. I mean, I didn't really want to stay home."
Adams will add depth to the Kansas backcourt and looks to be a prototypical combo guard in Self's offense.
"I think he can handle like a

Adams said all the hard work he has done off the court will only help him going forward.
"I put a lot of emotion in the game because this is what I want."

Adams said. "I love this game. It's gotten me this far.I'm hoping it continues to let me go further from here."

New men's golf coach comes from Colorado State
The University men's golf team has announced Jamie Bermel as its new head coach, according a Kansas Athletics Department news release.

Bermel will replace Kit Grove, head coach of the Jayhawks since 2007.

Track team hauls in five medals in Mexico
TYLER CONOVER editor@kansan.com
The Jayhawk track stars were back in action this weekend in Guanaiuato, Mexico for the 2012 NACAC U-23 Championships.
Six members of the Kansas track team competed for their country in the bi-annual North American, Central American and Caribbean championships, and with five of them taking home medals, it was a solid outing.
Andrea Geubelle, a junior who less than two weeks ago won a bronze medal in triple jump at the
U. S. Olympic qualifying meet in Eugene, Ore., won a gold medal on Saturday in Mexico with a jump of 43-1.5 ft. (13.14m).
Diamond Dixon, a sophomore, ran in the women's 4x400-meter relay Sunday. She ran the anchor leg of the race. The team won the gold medal with a time of 3:28:64. Dixon will be representing the Jayhawks in the same event in the upcoming Olympic Games in London.
Rebeka Stowe, a senior, competed Saturday in the women's 3,000-meter steepechase. She finished with a time of 10:45.14.
which was good enough for a sil ver medal.
Mason Finley, a junior, threw discus on Saturday. His best throw was 193-7 ft. (59.00m), and that earned him the silver medal.
Michael Stigler, a freshman, ran in the 4x400-meter hurdles on Sunday. He ran a 50.48, and he is also bringing home a silver medal.
Heather Bergmann, a junior, competed in javelin on Sunday. Her best throw was 164 ft. (49.98m), and she finished in fourth place, just off the podium.

Andy Murray of Britain, right, congratulates Roger Federer of Switzerland, as he poses with his trophy following the men's singles final match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, England, Sunday, July 8, 2012.
Federer ties record with seventh title
Roger Federer won his recordtying seventh Wimbledon title Sunday, beating Andy Murray 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 under a closed roof on Centre Court.
The 17-time Grand Slam champion excelled once the roof was closed early in the third set, giving Murray little chance to end Britain's 76-year wait for a home-grown men's champion.
Serena Williams won her fifth Wimbled on title on Saturday over Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1, 5-7, 6-2.
For Serena Williams, the low point came in early 2011, when she spent hours laying around her home, overwhelmed by a depressing series of health scares that sent her to the hospital repeatedly and kept her away from tennis for 10 months.
The high point came Saturday on Centre Court at Wimbledon, when Williams dropped down to the grass, hands covering her face. She was all the way back, a Grand Slam champion yet again, tying her older sister Venus Williams' mark of five Wimbledon titles.

Kansas City Royals upset by recent loss
DETROIT — This wasn't the road trip the Kansas City Royals were expecting.
They limp into the All-Star Break 3-7 in their travels through Minnesota, Toronto and Detroit, after Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Tigers.
"The trip was disappointing. Coming into the thing, you're four games out and four games under," said Royals' manager Ned Yost. "Definitely not the way we figure it would be."
DYNAMO DRAW
Kansas City was bludgeoned by
Delmon Young homered for the fourth consecutive game, Prince Fielder hit a three-run shot and Jhonny Peralta homered and drove in three runs, while Scherzer allowed a run and five hits over seven innings, walking one and striking out seven.
Detroit's power display and dominated by Max Scherzer (8-5).
Meanwhile, Royals' starter Everett Teaford (1-2) took the loss. He allowed five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. He walked a batter and struck out five. Salvador Perez homered for Kansas City's only run.

Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan honored with new statue
PRESIDENT OF THE COLONIES
GDANSK, Poland — Polish officials unveiled a statue of former President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II on Saturday, honoring two men widely credited in this Eastern European country with helping to topple communism 23 years ago.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The statue was unveiled in Gdansk, the birthplace of Lech Walesa's Solidarity movement, in the presence of about 120 former Solidarity activists, many of whom were imprisoned in the 1980s.
A miniature stands in front of the new statue of former President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II that was unveiled in Gdansk, Poland, on Saturday, July 14, 2012.
The bronze statue, is a slightly larger-than-life rendering of the two late leaders. It was inspired by an Associated Press photograph taken in 1987.

THEATER
Classic story on the University stage
ANNA ALLEN
aallen@kansan.com
Rehearsals started in June, but cast members began practicing the British dialects in April for the University Theatre's performance of "My Fair Lady"
The 10 actors each learned two accents and portrayed multiple characters. But lead actress Julia Geisler, a graduate student from Wexler, Pa. who plays Eliza Doolittle, and lead actor Joe Winans, a graduate student from Fairway who plays Henry Higgins, said they didn't turn to the popular film adaptation for inspiration.
In fact, Geisler said she avoided watching the 1964 movie. Instead, she researched "Pygmalion," by George Bernard Shaw, the play which "My Fair Lady" is an adaptation of.
"My Fair Lady" is about a phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, who takes on teaching an underprivileged girl, Eliza Doolittle, how to behave like a "proper lady" to prove that he can teach anyone how to speak well enough to pass as a member of high-society.
Winans said he prepared by reading as much original material as possible, including reviews, actor letters and various literature on the play.
John Staniunas, director of "My Fair Lady" and chair of the Theatre department, said the setting, while clever, remains a representation of the time period and location.
"The movie is a very lush version of the show," Staniunas said. "For the stage, you have to use your imagination with the settings."
And when it came to practicing
their character's dialects—cockney and received pronunciation, which means the standard English accent—they used various methods, Geisler and Winans said.
"For a while, when we were practicing it, it would slip out at bars," Geisler said. "Cockney is good for驱动 griv-
Cockney is often thought of as an English working-class accent, and Winans said he and Geisler would sometimes read Cosmopolitan magazine out loud in their accents for practice.
Aside from learning multiple dialects, Staniunas said there's a more daunting task the cast members face in the production.
ing."
"One of the biggest challenges was having 10 actors play 22 roles," Staniunas said. "But it was also the most exciting part of the rehearsal process, seeing the actors transform from one character to another.
"We had the most fun with the music and dancing. These songs just stick in your head."
Performances for the play started last week and continue from July 19 to 22 at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
Performances start at 7:30 p.m. on July 19, 20 and 21 and at 2:30 p.m. on July 22.

Students support new payment system
DYLAN DERRYBERRY
editor@kansan.com
Student employees will punch timesheets with the click of a mouse starting July 30.
They will no longer use paper time sheets to log the hours worked and instead will use one of two electronic methods: a time collection device or online web clock.
Student Assistant and Peer Advisor Chad Renner said that the change could help with "inaccurate" time keeping.
"As a student, it can be difficult to both be at school and keep track of your hours, but now we'll have a machine that can do it for you," said Renner, a senior from Louisburg. "It'll definitely be a lot more accurate statistically. There's times I may work ten minutes over. I may write down that I work 4.5 hours, but really work four hours and 40 minutes."
Recent graduate Abby Graszi, who is working in the Office of Study Abroad through the summer, agreed that the paper time sheets are often skewed because they are only filled out every two weeks.
"It would be more accurate, that's for sure," Graszl said. "Sometimes it's hard to remember if you don't write it down every day."
The University employs around 5,000 students each year through state and grant funding. student tuition, and other private sources depending on the position. Not all student workers will be affected by the change though.
Wichita senior Kimberlee Hinkle works for the Student Union Activities office and said that the Kansas Union is not technically a part of the University. Students who work there have already moved away from paper time sheets.
"The University is state run, and the Union is its own entity, so we won't be affected by the change," Hinkle said. "Currently, we use a clock-in device that scans our whole hand print."
One hundred and forty time collection devices will be placed throughout campus over the next few months for student workers to easily access the devices, which are either a proximity card reader or a biometric fingerprint reader. Students will also be able to access web clocks from any device with Internet, including personal computer and mobile devices.
"Time- and leave-reporting will be more accurate, and the complicated and time-consuming paper process, not to mention paper consuming, will be eliminated," Provost Communications Coordinator Gavin Young said. "This streamlines the process and puts the University in line with the best practices."

FINANCE
Online counseling tool aims to help students with debt
Student loan statements may seem like a hodgepodge of interest and principal numbers, but the U.S. Department of Education has launched a tool to help students manage loan debt.
Known as the Financial Awareness Counseling Tool, the online interactive website provides tutorials and resources on topics like FAFSA, loans and aid programs.
U. S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a news release that managing student loan debt is difficult and not easy to understand, which is why the Obama Administration has worked to find a way to not only
educate students and parents, but also assist them along the way with the interactive site.
The Obama Administration will continue to enhance the site by releasing a model financial aid shopping sheet, which can help students keep track of scholarship, grant and loan money.
"Students need to know up front how much college will actually cost them instead of waiting to find out when the first student loan bill arrives," Duncan said. "This new tool will help bring new transparency to the process of debt management on the front end and empower students to keep their school loan payments on track and on time after graduation."

Taylor Swift top paid celebrity under 30
LOS ANGELES — A poison pen proved to be a fine business model for Taylor Swift, the 22-year-old country-pop artist who topped Forbes' annual list of the highest paid celebrities under 30.
Swift, who reportedly raked in around $57 million between May 2011 and May 2012, leads a top 10 packed with female pop singers. Rihanna came in third at an estimated $53 million for the same period, while Lady Gaga was fourth at $52 million (though a significant drop from her No. 1 slot last year at $90 million, due to a gap in touring) and Katy Perry rounded out the top five with $45 million.
Only Justin Bieber, whose album "Believe" earned strong sales and reviews represented the dudes in the top five, landing at No. 2.
top 10 are Adele at No. 6 with $35 million and the 29-year-old Lil Wayne at No. 8 with $27 million. The only nonmusicians on the list were a trio of "Twilight" stars: Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson.
Rounding out the musicians in the
The list is based on a variety of income sources,including concert tours,album and single sales,merchandise and endorsements.

Stones celebrate 50 years together
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Mick Jagger may need to rethink the words he sang more than 45 years ago — "What a drag it is getting old."
Thursday marks 50 years since Jagger played his first gig with a band called the Rolling Stones, and the group is marking its half-century with no letup in its productivity or rock 'n' roll style. Jagger himself is still the cool, rich frontman of the world's most successful rock band.
Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts are getting together 50 years to the day after the young R&B band played London's Marquee Club. Taking a name from a song by bluesman Muddy Waters, they were billed as "The Rollin' Stones" —the 'g came later.
Now in their late 60s and early 70s, the band members are celebrating the anniversary by attending a retrospective photo exhibition at London's Somerset House — and looking to the future by rehearsing for new gigs.
The lineup for the gig was vocalist Jagger, guitarist Richards and Brian Jones, bassist Dick Taylor, pianist Ian Stewart and Mick Avory on drums. Taylor, Stewart and Avory soon left the lineup; drummer Watts joined in 1963 and guitarist Wood in 1975.
The band had its first hit, a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On," in 1963, and soon became one of the world's biggest and most influential rock acts, rivaled only by The Beatles.
The Beatles split up in 1970, but the Stones are still going strong — something jagger says he could never have imagined at the time.
"Groups in those days and singers didn't really last very long," Jagger, 68, told the BBC.

Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler announce exit from American Idol
LOS ANGELES — She just couldn't let Steven Tyler have all the headlines: Jennifer Lopez announced Friday that she, too, won't be returning to "American Idol."
Lopez, appearing on Ryan Seacrest's syndicated morning radio program, said that after two years on Fox's veteran singing competition show, "The time has come."
"I really have been torn," she said.
"When I signed on to 'dal,' I signed on to do one year. I ended up doing two years ... It was just such a lovely surprise in my life to do it."
She continued, "It gets more complicated as the kids get a little bigger. It started feeling like it was a lot. Something had to give ... that's where I am right now."
Which prompted good ol' Seacrest to nudge: "Does that mean we're coworkers or not?"
"I honestly feel like the time has come that I get back to doing the other things that I do," she said. "We had an amazing run."
Not.
The 42-year-old megastar had been dropping more than a few hints about her desire to part ways. She appeared earlier this week on the "Today" show, suggesting she was ready to move on.
Lopez denied her late announcement was part of a negotiations ploy. —Associated Press

PARIS — France's far-right National Front said Sunday that it plans to sue Madonna after the singer showed a video at a Paris concert that contained an image of the party's leader with a swastika on her forehead.
The video has been shown at other concerts on the singer's tour, and the party has expressed its outrage before, warning that
A PLACE TO COME HOME TO. "PEACEFUL & QUIET LIVING"
it would take action if the video were shown in France. On Saturday night, Madonna played it at the Stade de France.

National Front spokesman Alain Vizier said Sunday that the party would file a complaint in French court next week for "insults."
Party leader Marine Le Pen is briefly pictured in the video during a montage in which famous faces

Le Pen has tried to shed the National Front's image as racist and anti-Semitic, especially during her recent failed bid for president. But she has maintained a hard line on immigrants, saying France has too many and criticizing many Muslims. Associated Press

CAMPUS
Learning to appreciate campus
I've recently found myself feeling a little bit homesick. I wouldn't say that's a normal thing to feel considering I'm bunking at my parents' house for the summer. No, I don't miss my childhood home; I miss the University of Kansas. And in my wallowing, I got to thinking and I came up with a list of the five most underrated things about attending KU.
THE PATH BY GREEN HALL THROUGH THE TREES
By Angela Hawkins
editor@kansan.com
It's simple, right? Yes, yes it is. I can still remember the smell of the tree blossoms and feel of the breeze amplified by the trees. It's hidden in plain sight, although I can't remember ever seeing anyone sitting around the small water fountain.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Of course I'd suggest this. But how many times do you see people
reading them in Budig or working on the Sudoku on Wescoe Beach? It's there every single school day. How can it not be taken for granted? Here's my token of appreciation for the Kansan.
THE RANDOM ACTS OF INSANITY
Men running around on broomsticks, monkeys, morph suits; yeah, it happens. And it makes campus that much more interesting. Days without random outbursts aren't exactly lifeless; however, they do
break up the monotony of our daily schedules. Aren't those quirky little moments that you can't plan for or expect part of why we all love being on campus? Aren't they part of the stories we go home and tell to our childhood friends and families? Personally, I can't imagine KU without them.
THE UNDERGROUND
Everyone who is anyone ends up in the Underground eventually. And I do mean everyone. The professors, the students, the athletes, and the hipsters all enjoy some aspect of this versatile area. In the mornings, it's a perfect place to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. At lunch, it's a madhouse rush for Chik-Fil-A. And yet, it's a nice place to study, to meet with friends, and to eat. Anything you need to do, it can probably be done there if your timing is right.
THE ECOSYSTEM
KU has some of the nicest people I've ever met. No matter what the situation is, they take it in strides and adapt to anything. And not only that, students and faculty at KU stick together. Although there are so many differences between students, there's a sense of community that encompasses our beautiful campus and everywhere you might encounter another Jayhawk. That camaraderie holds us together.
In about one month, we'll be reunited: KU and my fellow Jayhawks. We'll make our way back to Lawrence and our home on the hill where the steam whistle blows and the bells in the Campanile ring. It's almost time to greet each other again with the sweet melody of the classic chant Rock Chalk Jayhawk.

Sidewalk Sale hours
7 am to 8 pm
next Thursday!
'See you then!
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
A sign is posted in the front window of Arizona Trading Co. at 736 Massachusetts St. for the sidewalk sale this Thursday from 7am to 8pm. For many stores the sale is a way to get rid of a substantial amount of summer items to make room for fall items.
ECONOMY
Spending woes cause angst
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Shoppers, worried about jobs and the overall economy, pulled back on spending in June, resulting in tepid sales for many retailers.
The results raise concerns about Americans' ability to spend during the back-to-school season, which is the second-biggest shopping period of the year and starts later this month.
As merchants reported their sales early Thursday, many of them disappointed. Costco reported a gain below
Wall Street expectations, while Target and Macy's also fell short.
However, wealthy shoppers continued to splurge on status goods despite the weakening stock market. That boosted results at Saks and Nordstrom.
"These are disappointing results," said Ken Perkins, president of Retail-Metrics, a research firm. "The consumer is slowing down and becoming increasingly more cautious as the economic backdrop is deteriorating. This doesn't set up particularly well for back-to-school."
People spent more earlier in the year, when warmer-than-usual weather and a sunnier outlook for the economy lured shoppers to load up on spring clothing. But consumers have grown more cautious since.
June, a period when stores clear out summer merchandise to make room for fall goods, is typically the second-biggest shopping month behind December.
But that honor may go to March, because spending was tepid last month and it took more discounts to get shoppers to buy.
Students, stores prep for annual sidewalk sale

Merchants are discounting summer clothes to make room for fall stock and selling misprinted T-shirts at bargain prices for the Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale on July 19.
"I'll probably be looking at most of the stores that are selling clothing because I am starting at KU this year," McCoy said, "So some new school clothes will be nice to find."
Marian McCoy, an incoming freshman from Lincoln, Neb., has never shopped at the Sidewalk Sale before and is excited for her first experience.
McCoy is attending the sale with her sister, who recently bought a house in Lawrence, so McCoy also plans to look for decorating objects for her dorm room and her sister's house.
Gabrielle Reimer, a senior from Meade, usually shops at clothing stores during the sale and has a strategy planned out to make shopping at the sale easier this year.
"I will probably go the day before and see what some of the stores have and then get an idea." Reimer said. "That way, I know what I am looking for the day of the sale."
Like many stores downtown, Arizona Trading Co., 736 Massachusetts St., credits the sidewalk sale as one of its busiest days of the year.
"We go through and things we already have on sale, we mark down even more," said Corey Sievers, the store manager. "We even sell a lot of regular priced items because the prices are cheap anyways."
During the sale, Arizona Trading Co. has a table marked "1,3,5," and everything on the table costs between $1 and $5.
Sievers said the Sidewalk Sale is a way for Arizona Trading Co. to weed out the spring and summer clothes and make room for fall items, so the summer clothing is marked down substantially.
Jennilyn Keinsley, general manager of ACME, 847 Massachusetts St., said the Sidewalk Sale gives ACME more business than usual. The entire ACME staff is working during the Sidewalk Sale, as are some employees from other ACME locations.
Keinsley said ACME is putting T-shirts that were misprinted, such as shirts made in the wrong size or color, on sale. People may be able to customize their own shirts for cheap, but that isn't definite yet. "We're still trying to nail down the specifics," Keinsley said.

Lucas bathrooms
Rarely is taking a road trip rest stop as interesting as when it's in Lucas. This town of less than 500 is known for its artsy public toilets. The men's toilets are made up of toy cars and other knick-knacks. So next time you're on a road trip and need to take care of business, stop by Lucas, KS and be entertained.
Garden of Eden
After taking a pit stop to look at the artsy public toilets, check out the Garden of Eden, also in Lucas. The sculptor, Samuel Perry Dinsmoor built this log cabin in the 1900s and created sculptures that represented and reflected his religious and political beliefs.
Center of the U.S.
Most people know that Kansas is the heart of the states, but do you know where the precise center-point of the U.S. is? It's a small town called Lebanon, Kan. Its population, according to the 2010 census, is 218. Take a trip there and boast later to friends and family that you were at the center of the U.S.
Castle Rock
You can see rocks anywhere in Kansas, but Gove County's rocks are unique because they form a castle-like structure. This place is a National Natural Landmark. Not only will you see these rocks, but you may even notice fossils or run into wild animals, like a black-tailed jackrabbit.

ROAD TRIP in the Sunflower State.
Big ball of twine
If you've ever wanted to see something that continues to grow, take a trip to Cawker City and check out the World's Largest Ball of Twine. When you visit the small town and the large attraction, make sure to ask the shop owner for twine so you can add to the ball. The ball is more than 50 years old and still growing.
Beer stop
If you make it to Manhattan and you're looking for a beverage, try Tallgrass Brewing Co. The brewery offers a selection of beers, all in cans. They don't bottle their beers in an effort to be more environmentally friendly. The company also finds canning to be better for the flavor of the beer, which they believe can be tainted by bottling.
Outdoor theater
The Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Mo. is known for hosting theatrical shows, concerts, educational shows and much more. Niralee Parikh, a senior from Overland Park,says good plays are hard to find in the Midwest, especially in Kansas. "When good plays come by, I suggest people go check out the Starlight Theater for its open setting under the stars," Parikh said. "It's a really cool experience." On the Kansas side of the border, watch a play in Shawnee at Theatre in the Park. Upcoming shows include "Urinetown" and "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown."
Ellinwood tunnels
Stop by Ellinwood to tour the underground tunnel. This tunnel is known as the "late-19th century man cave" because of what it held and whom it catered to. Places like a harness shop, a barbershop and a bathhouse where women known as "soiled doves" entertained male travelers as they cleansed themselves and their clothes line the streets of the untouched tunnel.
Flint Hills
Next time you head towards Manhattan, take a detour and check out the not-soflat prairie. The Flint Hills are nationally known for their wildflowers and scenery.* Fun fact: The Flint Hills were in the April 2007 issue of National Geographic.

TRANSPORTATION
South Lawrence trafficway supported by appeals court
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — A three-judge federal appeals court upheld a ruling Tuesday that removes a legal hurdle for the Kansas Department of Transportation to finish building a disputed trafficway in Lawrence.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver issued its ruling affirming the process used by the Federal Highway Administration to select the project's route. The road will be a 6-mile, four-lane road connecting the existing west leg of the trafficway with Kansas 10 east of Lawrence.
Plaintiffs sought to block the road's construction, contending it would harm the Baker Wetlands.
State transportation officials were pleased with the ruling allowing the $150 million project to move forward.
"With the court ruling now behind us, KDOT can work in earnest to complete the project plans and
meet the current schedule of beginning construction in Fall 2013," said State Transportation Engineer Jerry Younger, KDOT's deputy secretary of transportation.
Bob Eye, a Topeka attorney who represents the Prairie Band Pottawattomie Nation, the Sierra Club and other groups opposed to the proposed route, said the ruling left him with a feeling like "being kicked in the gut."
"We felt we had strong arguments that had a bearing on protecting these wetlands. Unfortunately, the court did not agree," Eye said. "These resources are slipping away from us one highway, one development at a time."
Eye said he was reviewing the opinion and his clients would be weighing their options, which could include asking for a rehearing by the same three-judge panel, a hearing with the full 10th Circuit Court of Appeals or filing a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court for appeal.
Sarah Little, spokeswoman for Sen. Pat Roberts, said the Kansas Republican, who has helped secure some $3 million in federal funds for construction of the route, was pleased with the court's ruling.
Kansas officials have been trying for more than 20 years to build the road as a means for diverting highway and truck traffic around Lawrence. Once completed, the 14-mile route will connect Interstate 70 with Kansas 10.
KDOT began preliminary right of way appraisal efforts in December 2011, with the surveying and staking of potentially affected properties. The agency will review the initial appraisals and send offer letters to property owners this summer.
Part of the project includes a $20 million mitigation program to add about 260 acres of new wetlands to the area and establish an endowment for Baker University to care for the property.

New drunk driving laws take effect
JESSICA TIERNEY editor@kansan.com
You can't refuse a breathalyzer test anymore, unless you want to pay $1,750.
"What this new legislation would like to do is add thousands of more people to the county jail system at a cost of $2 million and congest the court system," said defense attorney Jay Norton.
Drunk driving is considered a serious offense in the state of Kansas for many reasons, but primarily because some drunk driving accidents are fatal.
On July 1, the Kansas Legislature enacted a new law criminalizing the refusal of taking a breath, blood or urine test when being pulled over with the suspicion of drunk driving. Refusal can result in jail time and fine of up to $1,750 for first time offenders. In addition, refusal of the test is an automatic one-year license suspension, along with another year of driving with an ignition interlock device. Ignition interlock devices require drivers to pass a breathalyzer test before starting the car.
He asked the police officer, "What if I refuse the breathalyzer test?" The officer replied, "It's an automatic one-year driving suspension." Cummings says in these situations, you know they have you in some way.
"I can't really take the moral high ground, even after my handling by the courts," said Cummings.
Kevin Cummings, a junior from Overland Park, was introduced to some of the strictest DUI laws in the country on a "normal Saturday night" in April 2009.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2009, there were 10,839 fatalities alone resulting from alcohol-impaired driving. This statistic accounts for 32 percent of all traffic-related deaths in the United States that year. The risk for collegeage students is even higher. According to the same CDC statistics, 35 percent of drivers involved in fatal drunk driving accidents were between the ages of 21 and 24.
When in doubt, take a taxi.
Edited by Maegan Mathiasmeier
Penalties:
As of July 1, Kansas law criminalizes the refusal to take a breath, blood or urine test when pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving.
- 1st Time Refusal: Class A Nonperson Misdemeanor, $1,250 fine, 1 year license suspension followed by 1 year with an ignition interlock device
- 2nd Time Refusal: Class A Nonperson Misdemeanor, 90 days to 1 year jail, $1,750 to $2,500 fine, 1-year license suspension followed by 2 years with an ignition interlock device
- 3rd Time Refusal: Nonperson felony. 90 days to 1 year jail, $2,500 fine, 1 year license suspension followed by 3 years with an ignition interlock device

Sports car stolen in 1970 recovered through eBay posting
LOS ANGELES — A man whose prized sports car was stolen 42 years ago recovered the vehicle after spotting it on eBay, authorities said Sunday.
Robert Russell told the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department that
he had never given up searching for the 1967 Austin Healy after it was stolen from his Philadelphia home in 1970.
Russell recently spotted what he thought was his car on eBay and checked the vehicle identification number on the website with the one on the car's title certificate, finding they were a match, the department said in a news release.
Russell, who now lives in Texas,
contacted the department in May, and Detective Carlos Ortega tracked down the car in East Los Angeles.
"Detective Ortega located the stolen Austin Healey at the dealership listed in the eBay ad and confirmed that the car was the same vehicle reported stolen by Mr. Russell,"the department said.
He has since brought it back to Texas.

CRIME
Freeh: Paterno concealed scandal
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — If he were alive today, Joe Paterno — the coach who stood for so long for character and integrity both on and off the football field — could be looking at charges such as child endangerment, perjury and conspiracy.
Legal experts said emails and other evidence in the Penn State investigative report released Thursday suggest that Paterno may have misled a grand jury when asked when he first heard about Jerry Sandusky's misconduct, and show that Paterno and other university officials put boys in danger with their failure to report sexual abuse allegations against Sandusky more than a decade ago.
Duquesne University law professor Wes Oliver said the report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh reads like a prosecution case for a child endangerment charge against Paterno, then-President Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and now-retired vice president Gary Schultz.
Oliver noted that a former top official in the Philadelphia Archdiocese was convicted of that charge in June for allowing a suspected pedophile priest to be around children.
"If you look at what happened here, it's very clear that they were aware that they had a pedophile on their campus," Oliver said.
Will Spade, a former Philadelphia prosecutor who worked on a grand jury investigation of priests about a decade ago, agreed: "Spanier, Paterno, Schultz and Curley are arguably responsible for endangering all of those kids that were abused later."
So far, the only two figures arrested in the alleged cover-up are Curley and Schultz. They were charged last fall with perjury and failure to report suspected child abuse and are awaiting trial. They have denied any wrongdoing.
Spanier, who was ousted as Penn State president over the scandal, has not been charged, but a grand jury
continues to investigate. Paterno died in January of lung cancer at 85.
Paterno family spokesman Dan McGinn declined to comment on the criminal legal issues on Friday.
At the very least, the Freeh report provides powerful ammunition to Sandusky victims looking to sue the university or Paterno's estate.
The report said that Paterno and the other university officials hushed up child sexual abuse allegations against Sandusky in 2001 for fear of bad publicity. Asked on Thursday whether the actions of the four men amounted to a crime such as conspiracy or obstruction, Freeh said that would be for a grand jury to decide. But the former FBI chief and federal judge said the evidence shows "an active agreement to conceal."
Freeh described Paterno as "an integral part" of that agreement. According to his report, Spanier, Schultz and Curley drew up a plan that called for reporting Sandusky to the state Department of Public Welfare in 2001. But Curley later said in an email that he changed his mind "after giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe."
The report also called into question the truthfulness of Paterno's grand jury testimony last year, when he was asked whether he knew of any abuse allegations against Sandusky before the 2001 episode in which Sandusky was spotted assaulting a boy in the locker room showers.
"I do not know of anything else that Jerry would be involved in of that nature, no," Paterno testified in a grand jury appearance that lasted only a few minutes. He added that a rumor "may have been discussed in my presence, something else about somebody. I don't know. I don't remember, and I could not honestly say I heard a rumor."
But emails published in the Freeh report suggest Paterno closely followed a 1998 police investigation of Sandusky that ended without charges.

EMPLOYMENT
Students struggle to find summer jobs
JESSICA JANASZ/KANSAN
Havana Mahoney, who just graduated from KU, talks to a customer at The Burger Stand Friday afternoon. Mahoney has kept her job there for nine months now. "You've gotta hit it at the right time when school's getting out and everyone's leaving for the summer or else it can be really difficult," Mahoney explained. Since 2007 the rate of employment has dropped just over 10 percent for those who are between 16 and 24 years old.

After filling out more than 40 applications, both paper and online, Lynsey Becher, a senior from Hutchison, still hadn't landed a summer job. Becher started two weeks before spring classes let out, looking for jobs she had experience in, such as retail and nanny positions.
But Becher kept getting the same response from employers. They weren't hiring until the end of the summer.
"I would have thought it would have been easier to find a job in the summer," Becher said, "but apparently not."
This is a change from years past. Summer is typically the time when the amount of jobs held by students spikes. This July, however, the U.S. Department of Labor reported only 48.8 percent of people between 16 and 24 years old had jobs. Just five years ago, that number was 59.2 percent.
Kate Blocker, co-owner of Express Employment Professionals, a company that provides temporary, contract and direct-hire job placement, 1000 Iowa St., said the economy has something to do with it.
Lawrence, like the rest of the Midwest, was not hit as hard by the recession as the rest of the country, but Blocker says some employers are still weary of hiring. A lot of factors contribute to this, but employers are looking for flexibility in students' schedules.
Jean Milstead, interim vice president of economic development for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said the unemployment rate in Lawrence is at 5.3 percent, which is still below the national rate of 8.2 percent. Milstead said Lawrence is usually below 3 percent.
The first week of July, Becher found a job at a babysitting agency. She actually pays the babysitting agency a small fee to find work for her, and there hasn't been much.
"It's one of those things where you don't get work if nobody needs a babysitter." Becher said.
Becher plans to resume her oncampus job in the theatre department once the fall semester begins, but until then, it's a waiting game.

Struggling cultural center reopened
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WICHITA, Kan. — After years of financial struggles that prompted a takeover by the city, the Mid-America All-Indian Center in Wichita is out of debt and optimistic about the future, center and city officials sai
The center, which provides meeting space, entertainment events and a museum interpreting the history and culture of the Plains Indians, has reduced staffing and cut some programs to secure its financial future, The Wichita Eagle reported Friday.
The center closed temporarily in 2005 and the city took over its operations because of financial issues and missing artifacts from the museum. Center officials took out a $175,000 loan from the city and paid it off within two years.
It now has enough in savings to stay
open for at least 10 months.
"We sit in a much better position than we did seven years ago," said April Scott, the center's director. "We are completely debt free. We have brought back the powwows. We are vibrant."
The center is sponsoring its second American Indian Festival this weekend, featuring the art, songs, dances and cultures of more than 72 tribes with members in the Wichita area. More than 10,000 American Indians live around Wichita, mostly from Plains and Southwestern tribes.
"If you look at the center now, and compare it to where it has been, it has been exciting to watch it grow," said John D'Angelo, director of the city's arts and culture department.
The center operates on a $440,000 operating budget and attracts about 40,000 visitors a year, D'Angelo said.

Concerns arise over demand for planes, airline pilots
Roech
ASSOCIATED PRESS
An employee builds a Beechcraft King Air at the Hawker Beechcraft plant in Wichita. The struggling aircraft maker announced Monday, July 10, 2012 that it had reached a $1.79 billion "exclusivity agreement" with a Chinese aerospace manufacturer.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — An industry forecast that nearly half a million new airline pilots will be needed worldwide over the next 20 years as airlines expand their fleets has raised safety concerns that airlines will hire lower caliber pilots as they struggle to fill slots.
Boeing, one of the world's largest makers of commercial jetliners, forecasts about 460,000 new pilots will be needed worldwide between now and 2031 as global economies expand and airlines take deliveries of tens of thousands of new commercial jetliners.
The forecast includes 69,000 new pilots in the North America, mostly in the U.S. The greatest growth will be in the Asia-Pacific region, where an estimated 185,600 new pilots will be needed.
Likewise, Boeing predicts 601,000 new aircraft maintenance technicians will be needed over the same period, with the greatest demand — 243,500 technicians — in the Asia-Pacific region.
An estimated 92,500 new technicians will be needed in North America.
The rising global demand for airline pilots has raised concern among industry and government officials that there will be a global and a domestic pilot shortage.
"In many regions of the world, a pilot shortage is already here," the Boeing forecast said. "Asia Pacific in particular is experiencing delays and operational interruptions due to pilot scheduling constraints."
That's particularly true in China and India, industry officials said. Airlines based in Asia and the Middle East have been holding pilot job fairs in the U.S. and thousands of pilots laid off due to U.S. airline bankruptcies and mergers are now flying for foreign carriers.
"We have airlines around the world as they buy our airplanes and come to us on the training side of the house, saying 'We're struggling to fill (pilot) seats. Can you help us?' said Carl Davis, Boeing's chief of pilot services.
Davis presented his company's forecast Thursday at a conference in Washington on pilot training hosted by the Air Line Pilots Association, the world's largest pilot union.
U. S. industry and government officials are also concerned that the rising global demand for pilots, combined with an anticipated wave in pilot retirements and tougher qualification standards for new pilots that kick in next year, will create a domestic shortage as well.
"I'm concerned because it has safety implications," John Allen, the Federal Aviation Administration's director of flight services, told The Associated Press.
Allen said he wants to spur a discussion among industry, labor unions and academia about a potential shortage that will "really look at this and address it, not to just sweep it under the rug. . Is this a problem? And, if it is a problem, how bad is it?"
He said he is fearful that if there is a shortage, airlines will hire pilots who are technically qualified but don't have the "right stuff"

Redrawn districts cause political problems
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Each of Kansas' major political factions want voters to blame someone else for this year's bitter legislative wrangling over redrawn election districts, which ended up in federal court and could stick taxpayers with big legal bills.
Conservative Republicans, their moderate counterparts and Democrats all are working before the November election to get voters to buy their respective narratives about why a Legislature with huge Republican majorities couldn't pass a single new political map
to ensure equal representation. The redistricting stalemate led to a lawsuit, and three federal judges ended up redrawing congressional, legislative and State Board of Education districts to account for population shifts during the past decade.
The judges still must determine which legal bills will be covered by the state. Attorneys for 15 people who signed onto the lawsuit have filed requests totaling more than $669,000. The fiscal fallout is likely to get the most attention from voter-taxpayers.
stuck with this? This is not our fault," said House Speaker Mike O'Neal, a Hutchinson Republican and attorney who was involved in the lawsuit but hasn't asked to be reimbursed. "It's an election year, and everybody wants to make it political."
The redistricting impasse arose from a fierce internal struggle between moderate Republicans who currently control the state Senate and their conservative colleagues. The moderates have been skeptical and even openly critical of GOP Gov. Sam Brownback's initiatives to slash income taxes, overhaul the public pension system, remake appellate courts and change how the state finances public schools. The conservatives are looking to push back by gaining more seats in the

chamber come November.
Conservatives cast Senate Reapportionment Committee Chairman Tim Owens, a moderate Overland Park Republican, as the main villain in the redistricting saga. The first new Senate district map that cleared his committee drew three conservative GOP incumbents out of the districts of the
moderate incumbents they expected to challenge — including Owens' expected challenger, Rep. Greg Smith of Overland Park.
Smith had lived in the center of Owens' old district. But the first map positioned his home about a tenth of a mile beyond the district's northern boundary, West 87th Street, with the street sign just visible from Smith's front yard.
"I think a lot of people look at that as a gauntlet being thrown down," Smith said. Ultimately, the federal judges' lines separated him and Owens as Senate candidates, though both have primary contests.
Owens called it "almost laughable" to blame him for the legislative impasse. He said conservatives went into the redistricting debate hoping to punish their opponents. As for his committee's first map, he said West 87th Street routinely served as a boundary in Overland Park for city council and state House districts.
"There was a lot of stuff in the air before that," he said.
Democrats and GOP moderates eventually pushed Senate maps opposed by conservatives through that chamber. Conservatives, led by O'Neal, blocked them in the House. That move broke decades of tradition of one chamber not interfering with the other's
maps. So GOP moderates cast O'Neal as a key villain in the stalemate.
But O'Neal notes senators wouldn't act quickly on a bipartisan plan for new House districts after it cleared his chamber early in the session.
"They intended all along to hold it hostage," he said. "Should that behavior be rewarded? No, it shouldn't."
"It's crystal clear that this mess was caused by Brownback and the right wing of the Republican Party," said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat whose legal team has submitted $101,000 in expenses for reimbursement.
Davis and his fellow Democrats frame the impasse as Brownback fracturing the GOP so badly that it can't effectively govern. Moderates allege arrogant conservatives want to crush dissent. Conservatives' take is that out-of-touch moderates are desperate to cling to power that voters wouldn't want them to have. Each narrative serves larger political goals.
Brownback's response to Davis' comments points to what comes next.
"This is now in the hands of Kansas voters," he said.

KSU professor finds new profiling info
It already was known that white women are less likely to be ticketed, searched or arrested than men. But The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that sociology doctoral candidate Jeremy Briggs found black and Hispanic women are ticketed, arrested or searched during traffic stops more often than white women and at a level comparable to white men.
"What I found in the case of traffic stops was that racial differences are deeply gendered as well," he said. This connection should be a part of the larger racial profiling discussion."
TOPEKA, Kan. — A Kansas State University researcher's analysis has found that racial profiling is intertwined with gender.
Briggs said black drivers overall were more than twice as likely as white drivers to be arrested. The rate was even higher among black men, with them 2 1/2 times as likely as white men to be arrested.
Briggs said he became interested in racial profiling as a dissertation topic in 2008 while teaching a Police in Society class at Kansas State.
He based his findings on an analysis of the 2005 Police Public Contact Survey, which is collected every three years, serves as a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey and is sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Now Briggs is in the process of updating his findings based on the 2008 survey, which was released a few months ago.
For his research, Briggs studied reasons for the traffic stops, such as speeding, stop sign violations and drunken driving check lanes. He also looked at the outcomes of the traffic stop, such as a ticket, warning, search or arrest.
"The real issue I'm trying to get across is that race is only one part of the (racial profiling) story," he said. "When you consider gender as well as race, you get a different picture. It's not as clear as when you keep race and sex separate.

Players' alleged drug dealer indicted July 12
On July 12 a Federal Grand Jury indicted 35 people, including multiple Lawrence residents, alleging they conspired to distribute more than five kilograms of mixture substance containing cocaine and more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana from
January 2005 until June 28, 2012.
Among those indicted include 31-year-old Samuel Villeareal III, who prosecutors have alleged supplied marijuana to Kansas basketball players during the 2010-2011 season. Villeareal was charged on June 11 along with numerous other defendants, on planning to distribute more than 2,000 pounds of
marijuana in Johnson and Douglas counties.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Terra Morehead alleged Villeareal was a supplier to Kansas basketball players based on text messages investigators obtained from his iPhone.
The 2010-2011 roster included Elijah Johnson, Jordan Juenemann, Mario Little, Brady Morningstar,
Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris, Tyrel Reed, Travis Releford, Niko Roberts, Thomas Robinson, Josh Selby, Tyshawn Taylor, Conner Teahan, Justin Wesley, Jeff Withey, and Royce Wooldridge.
Villeareal was released on $10,000 bond and his next hearing is scheduled on July 30.

TRACK AND FIELD
Sophomore jumps on world stage for United States
Casey Bowen, a sophomore from Gardner, competed in the pole vault on July 10 at the International Association of Athletics Federation World Junior Track and Field Championships in Barcelona, Spain. According to a KU Athletic Department news release, Bowen finished in a tie for 11th place in his qualification flight, but did not advance to the final event.
Bowen cleared 4.75 meters on his first attempt on Tuesday. He pault-vaulted over 4.95 meters on his third attempt at height, which was his last
clearance, leaving him in a tie for 11th place in the 15-person flight.
Bowen earned a spot on the 2012 Team USA after finishing second at the U.S. Junior Championships in Bloomington, Ind. on June 15. He is one of two Americans who represented the U.S. in the pole vault at the World Junior Championships.
In his first season at Kansas, Bowen was one of the most consistent pole-vaulters, competing in both the indoor and outdoor Big 12 Championships. He came in seventh place at the outdoor league meet and qualified his way into the NCAA West Preliminary Meet, where he tied for 41st.

Former Finance Minister wins presidential election

NEW DELHI The candidate from India's governing Congress party, former Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, was declared winner Sunday in voting for the country's president, a largely ceremonial position.
India's President-elect Pranab Mukherjee greets journalists outside his residence after winning the presidential election in New Delhi, India, Sunday, July 22, 2012.
Election official P.K. Agnihotri said Mukherjee, 76, had received more than twice as many votes as his rival in last Thursday's balloting by national and state legislators.
"I express deep gratitude to the people for electing me to this high office," Mukherjee said. He said he will "justify the people's trust."
The prime minister of India is Congress Manmohan Singh.

The University bike rental program, which was projected to begin at the start of fall semester, has been delayed. However, advocates for the program are still promising a roll out of the program.
"We are still pushing forward with the project and hope to have bike rentals later in the semester," said Thomas Plummer, a junior from Towanda and student senate chief of staff.
The bike rental program idea started last year as a KUnited platform. However, the program was put aside after new senate members were elected and larger projects took precedence.
Former student body president Libby Johnson and former vice president Gabe Bliss headed the initiative along with Plummer. Bliss said they saw a need for a bike rental system especially with international students.
Tapan Maji, an international graduate student from Kolkata, India, rides his bike that a friend gave him 10 miles every day from his apartment to the lab where he studies. Maji said riding a bike reduces air pollution; however, he wants to buy a car for when he needs to go places he can't get to by bike.
The University Center for Sustainability is looking for ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide the University emits. A 2010 survey of students, faculty and staff found that more students would ride a bike if there were more bike lanes on campus and on city streets.
Vanessa Sillman, a senior from San
Francisco, rides her bike to and from campus and places like the grocery store, but has found it isn't easy.
Sillman said she has popped a couple tires on her bike because of the uneven, brick roads. Sillman said where she comes from, biking is very popular.
"it's hard because of the hills," Sillman said.
Mary Chappell, director of Student Recreational Services and member of the bike rental program committee, agrees that biking is becoming the new thing for exercise and sustainability and that the bike rental program is only part of a larger movement.
"It's much bigger than a bike program," said Chappell.
Chappell said although they are looking at possible programs for campus, she thinks it could integrate into
a city-wide program. The committee is looking at Outdoor Pursuits in the student recreation fitness center as the primary campus location.
Chappell said the University was looking at other schools, such as Washington State's Green Bike Program, to see what could work.
A possible bike share program would be paid for through student fees, virtually costless for students, and they would just have to swipe their KU card to get a bike for a day. For longer rental periods such as a week or a semester, Chappell said there could be a charge.
Chappell said there is no target date set for the program, but she thinks it could be as early as spring semester.

Many students don't realize they can receive discounts at retail stores, restaurants and recreational activities.
"I only know of the SUA student discounts, not much else," said Tori Schmuz, a sophomore from Milwaukee.
Ammara Siddiqi, a junior from Wichita, said she dines out three to five times a week, but didn't know about any student discounts.
She said she would enjoy if the places where she eats had discounts. "I'd probably frequent them more often."
Domino's, 832 Iowa St., offers a variety of deals and is a part of CampusSpecials.com. Manager Andrew Bartlow said Domino's offers a special
during the first two weeks of schools where students can get a medium pizza for $2.99.
Sam Thoenen, a junior from Jefferson City, Mo., enjoys eating at Dempsey's but didn't know they had specials.
"I have eaten there a decent amount of times but wasn't aware they had half price burgers on Tuesday's," Thoenen said. "I am more inclined to go there on Tuesdays now that I know."
Charlotte Russe, a clothing store, gives 10 percent off all regular priced items if you have a student ID. Other retail stories that include discounts with a student ID include J. Crew Ann Taylor Loft and Banana Republic among others.
There are also student discounts for recreational activities. Alvamar Golf Course offers a student discount during the week on their 18-hole course. With a valid student ID, students can play for $35, a discount of $10.

'American Horror Story' nominations surprise

This image released by FX shows, from left, Connie Britton as Vivien Harmon, Dylan McDermott as Ben Harmon and Taissa Farmia as Violet Harmon in a scene from "American Horror Story," which was nominated for 17 Emmy nominations.
LOS ANGELES — When the Emmy nominations were announced Thursday morning, there were plenty of familiar names — the critical darling "Mad Men," for one — but a lesser-known title also made headlines: "American Horror Story."
In fact, "Mad Men" and "American Horror Story" earned the most nominations — 17 each — but the latter is competing in the miniseries and not the drama category. FX contends that the program, which featured 12 episodes, is a miniseries because its first and second seasons will have no relationship to each other and feature different plots, settings and actors. However, some critics have argued that the network labeled the show a miniseries only so that it wouldn't have to vie against more established programs.
The first season of "American Horror Story" centered on a married couple (Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton) who move with their teenage daughter (Taissa Farmiga) to a Los Angeles home where numerous
grisly murders once occurred. Jessica Lange portrayed the family's wacky neighbor; next season she will take on a new role.The series from "Glee" creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk attracted 4.4 million viewers per epi

sode — a solid number for basic cable and a higher number on average than other basic cable shows that received more media coverage, such as "Breaking Bad." As its title indicates, "American Horror Story" was gruesome and often shocking with a strong sexual component. In one episode the lead actress had sex with a rubber-suited ghost.
"I actually thought no one would ever give me an Emmy nomination for doing it with a rubber guy," joked Britton, up for lead actress in a miniseries. "It all works out in the end."
In addition to being nominated for miniseries or movie, "American Horror Story" is up for art direction, casting, sound mixing and makeup. among others.

OBITUARY
Iconic SNL writer dies from cancer
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HUDSON, N.Y. — Tom Davis, a writer who with Al Franken helped develop some of the most popular skits in the early years of "Saturday Night Live," was remembered by his former partner as "great friend, a good man, and so funny." He was 59.
Davis' wife, Mimi Raleigh, said he died Thursday of throat and neck cancer at his home in the Hudson Valley, north of New York City. He was diagnosed in 2009.
Davis is best known as the thinner, taller partner in Franken and Davis, the off-kilter comedy duo who performed in the early years of the show.
They also were among the first writers hired for the new show in 1975 and helped create memorable work such as the "Coneheads" skit with Dan Aykroyd and what evolved into the "Nick the Lounge Singer" skit starring Bill Murray performing lounge-lizard versions of songs including the "Star Wars" theme.
As performers, Davis was the quiet guy, overshadowed by the flashier Franken, who is now a Democratic senator from Minnesota. Davis, in a 2009 interview with The Associated Press, said, "If we were Sonny and Cher, he would be Cher"
Franken said he spoke with Davis's mother Thursday, and she recalled fondly all the laughter that would come from the basement when the two first got started in comedy.
Raleigh said Davis and Franken "were two of the first writers hired — with one salary."
"I visited Tom two weeks ago,
and though he was deathly ill, we did a lot of laughing," Franken said. "He was a great friend, a good man, and so funny."
Screenwriter Pat Proft called Davis and Franken a "perfect comedy team."

A study says many people get their news from YouTube. The video-sharing website has become integral in citizen journalism.
YouTube continues to grow as online source for news information
NEW YORK — A new study has found that YouTube has become a major platform for news, one where viewers are turning for eyewitness videos in times of major events and natural disasters.
The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism on Monday released their examination of 15 months of the most popular news videos on the Google Inc.-owned site. It found that while viewership for TV news still easily outpaces those consuming news on YouTube, the video-sharing site is a growing digital environment where professional journalism mingles with citizen content.
"There's a new form of video journalism on this platform," said Amy Mitchell, deputy director of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. "It's a form in which the relationship between news organizations and citizens is more dynamic and more multiverse than we've seen in most other platforms before."
More than a third of the most-watched videos came from citizens. Than more half came from news organizations, but footage in those videos sometimes incorporated foot age shot by YouTube users.

Viacom and DirecTV finalize agreement
LOS ANGELES — SpongeBob SquarePants and Snooki are coming back to DirectTV.
Cable programming giant Viacom and satellite broadcaster DirecTV reached a deal early Friday morning, ending a nine-day battle that left about 20 million homes without more than a dozen popular channels including MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and VH1.
The dispute related to the fees that Viacom was seeking for its programming, which DirectTV viewed as a steep hike. The short fight seemed to hurt Viacom more than DirectTV.Ratings for many of its cable networks saw declines of more than 20 percent during the blackout.Nickelodeon in particular

Mother-daughter team blogs college
KELSEA ECKENROTH
editor@kansan.com
Mother and daughter bloggers, Julie and Lindsey Mayfield probably have the answers to your questions about college finance, roommates, campus safety and the overall college experience.
Lindsey, a junior from Overland Park, and her mother began blogging for the "U.S. News and World Report" education blog, "Twice the College Advice", last summer. The Mayfields use their personal experience as a college student and parent of a college student to answer questions and give advice about college.
"It's really from the perspective of a parent sending her oldest to college and a student going to college" Julie said. "It's very much a 'this is what's worked for us' kind of blog."
Lindsey enjoys writing about how to acclimate yourself in college, such as first year things and how you can get involved and meet new people.
"My freshman year, I went through a lot of trial and error to kind of find my place at KU," she said. "I like being able to help students with that since I kind of struggled with it, and now I feel like I have it under control."
Julie writes a lot about being a parent of a college student and finding what's an appropriate place for parents to intervene and when to let their student figure out things on their own.
"College is a process of letting go
for parents," she said, "and it's kind of incremental."
The Mayfields write a lot of blog entries about college finance, such as advice about student loan debt. They said the financial posts generate the most views and reader comments.
Mrs. Liz McDaniel and Mrs. Amy Koehler
"We are just kind of unique, and I am going to go through college without any debt and people really like to hear that perspective," Lindsev said.
Keeping up with the blog while
Lindsey is in Lawrence can be tricky, but Lindsey and Julie make sure to blog and maintain their relationship while she's away.
"As long as we know the topic, we can work independently," Julie said. "Sometimes just deciding what we are going to write about that week is the hardest part."
Lindsey said her and her mom's relationship is "all over the board."
Junior Julie Mayfield, left, from Overland Park and her mother Lindsey Mayfield used their collective student-parent wisdom to start a blog through U.S. News & World Report that answers question ranging from tuition issues to college life.
"When something happens to me and I think it's funny, I'll call." Lindsey said. "We have a lot in
common just together, so we are constantly talking."
The Mayfields said writing the blog together is a fun motherdaughter thing for them to do while they are apart to stay in contact with each other.
"It's really a blessing that we get to do it together and in a medium that people actually read," Lindsey said.

Obama needs economics course
With the fall semester only a month away, KU professors will hope that students don't take President Obama's recent remarks to heart. During a rally in Roanoke, Virginia on July 13, the President commented how people had achieved their success.
"If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. ... I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart," the president said. "If you've got a business—you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
By Billy McCroy
editor@kansan.com
KU students certainly shouldn't listen to President Obama, because it isn't that easy to achieve success.
Although Obama did also say that we succeed because of our individual initiative, his other words highlight a fundamental problem: his disdain for giving individual business owners their due credit.
Anyone who has done well in college or in business will be the first to tell you that in order to achieve success, you have to put in long hours, great amounts of effort and rely on a little bit of luck. But the president wants you to recognize that you didn't build
that life for yourself; you owe most of that success to those that helped you. Using my Obama-translator, I can safely say that he's highlighting the influence of the state. While I am far too knowledgeable of what a socialist is to call President Obama a socialist, I know a statist when I see one.
These remarks aren't anything new from President Obama, they highlight his disdain for America's business owners, the people that he believes are hurting working-class Americans. According to his warped idea of how entrepreneurship should work, business owners are taking food out of the workers' mouths. What the President doesn't seem to grasp is that these are the people who helped make America great. Where would we be without the
likes of Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Bill Gates or any of the other millions of American business owners; both big and small? This is why our President hasn't been able to grow jobs; he's completely unaware of how long-term jobs are created. We need to increase the growth of sustained jobs. In order to create jobs, we need to understand that these private employers that our president loves to demonize, are the ones that employ hardworking Americans.
The horrifying thought is that there are many voters who either believe this demonization or will give the president a pass on remarks like this. As our unemployment rate remains to sit above 8 percent, it's laughable that the president would find now the best time to criticize business owners.
Barack Obama confuses me. We've spent so much time talking about how Mitt Romney is a "flip-florper" but wasn't it President Obama who lambasted Romney as someone who readily sends American jobs offshore? Just in case he doesn't know the very first thing about creating jobs—which, given the unemployment numbers, would suggest he doesn't—the president would benefit from a few economics courses in international business and trade. Sending those parts of production that would be produced more efficiently offshore, create a higher level of trade and more jobs here. So the president doesn't like American business owners or foreign business owners. Can we finally ask the president if he actually knows how real jobs are created?
People make these sort of remarks because of what they're used to; their experiences shape their world views. Our president has never achieved anything truly on his own; he's always been given a helping hand. And his inability to create jobs should come as no surprise; he's never had a real job. These foolhardy words emulate a gross disregard for the risks of entrepreneurship, business owners must risk the livelihood of both themselves and all of those they employ. We should be rewarding the millions of American employers, not chastising them for political gain. At some point, the President of the United States should get out of campaign-mode.
McCroy is a senior in economics from Des Moines, Iowa.

SHOPPING
Despite heat, customers flock to sidewalk sale
STOP
ROYA IBRAHIMI/KANSAN
A jewelry store on Massachusetts Street was one of many vendors that set up stands for the annual Sidewalk Sale on Thursday, July 19. The event had many sales on clothing that were out of season or misprinted in a fun atmosphere that appealed to students.
ROYA IBRAHIMI editor@kansan.com
People packed the streets and sidewalks of downtown Lawrence July 19 for the annual sidewalk sale.
Hundreds of people from Lawrence and around Kansas were out in the heat taking advantage of the bargains and live entertainment.
Many customers were shopping with their children for back-to-school apparel, while others were looking for great bargains for Christmas gifts.
Others were merely there to add to their closet.
Local Lawrence resident Kennedy Fasching was out for the sale at 6:30 a.m. with family and friends.
"I mostly just wanted to find things for back-to-school" Fasching said. "And also, they have really great prices, so it's kind of worth coming out."
Some bargain hunters even held off from buying items at regular
prices in hopes that they will be reduced during the sidewalk sale.
Some customers drove farther than others.
Wichita resident Addie Williamson said she and her family came out to Lawrence specifically for the sidewalk sale, the great prices, and the live entertainment.
"What I like about the sidewalk sale is the atmosphere," Williamson said. "The atmosphere is fun. It's fun to look and hunt for the deals, just to see what we can find. Look for next season's or next summer's stuff and just whatever we come across."
A friend who resides in Lawrence informed Williamson of the sale, so she decided to take the family on a little road trip for a shopping spree.
Stores on Massachusetts Street opened their doors to the public at 5 a.m. and continued the sale until sundown on the sidewalks.
The Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale began in July of 1960 and
has continued since bringing in more consumers each year.
The sale takes place every summer on the third Thursday of July.
To get more information or to stay updated on next year's events, follow the people behind the sale on Twitter @LJWMarketplace.

When you want to listen to your favorite bands, but find the words to be a distraction, check out The Vitamin String Quartet or VSQ. This group recreates some of the most popular songs with, as their name implies, a string quartet. From Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" to Coldplay's "Viva La Vida." The Vitamin String Quartet has released more than 232 albums, according to Last.FM.

Anything Yann Tiersen, especially the soundtrack to Amelie. I owe the completion of every German essay I wrote in the fall semester of 2009 to this soundtrack. I am not sure why exactly, but these songs have the ability to inspire me to not only stay creative, but to energize me to complete any project without stopping 100 times to check my Facebook, take a leisurely walk around Watson, and the like.

Many turn to music to drown out the chatter, paper and constant paper shuffling that seems to get louder with every minute that passes bringing you closer to deadline. Here are 10 songs/artists that can help add that boost you need when working on a project or studying. After all, 5-Hour Energy doesn't change the fact that your roommate won't turn down the the TV while watching The Real Housewives...

Chopin
Classical music is a popular choice when it comes to study music. Stephanie Weinbeck, a junior from Topeka, go-to choice is the 19th century composer Frédéric Chopin. Chopin, a child prodigy with French and Polish parents, is considered one of the greatest Romantic era composers. Some of Chopin's most recognized pieces today include The Funeral March (probably not the best when studying), and Noctures No.2.

Mozart
Though the "Mozart Effect," the idea that classical music makes you smarter, has its many skeptics, there's no denying that having some kind of noise helps certain people focus. A University of Illinois study released in May found that having background sound can get your juices flowing. So why not have some Mozart on in the background? It may not be making you smarter, per se, but it's keeping your mind busy, at least creatively. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in 1756 and became one of the most influential composers of the Classical Era. He composed more than 600 pieces of music before he died in 1791.

Students start program chapter to help
JESSICA TIERNEY
editor@kansan.com
Students are helping the homeless by starting a new organization downtown.
Students are feeding the poor and fighting the corporations by creating a chapter of Food Not Bombs.
When city officials recently announced plans to buy the Salvation Army building on 10th and New Hampshire streets, a group of students and community members decided to start a local chapter of the Food Not Bombs organization and began hosting their own free dinner on Thursday evenings in South Park, at the corner of Massachusetts Street and North Park Drive.
"It is a really simple concept that I think a lot of people can get behind," said Claire Kerwin, a senior from St. Louis and a founding member of Lawrence's chapter of Food Not Bombs.
Though the Salvation Army still hosts a dinner service at their downtown location, the organization plans to move to a new building along Haskell Avenue within the next year or two. Members of Food Not Bombs feel that the need for the homeless is concentrated downtown and want to make sure this need is answered.
Food Not Bombs is a global movement and a group of independent collectives that began in the 1980s. Though city chapters operate separately, they all share the same concept: free vegetarian meals for all in need and spreading awareness of what they feel are corporate and government policies that allow hunger to persist, even in the wealthiest of countries.
"In my mind, our goals are operating on two different levels."
said founding member Gus Bova, a junior from Lawrence. "We want to facilitate a good meal to people who attend, but we also want to get people thinking about the society they're a part of."
Kerwin and Bova began organizing in the early days of June. What started as a group on Facebook turned into meetings at The Merth and eventually the first meal on June 21.
Attendance has slowly been growing throughout the summer. About 50 people showed up to the first event, and since then, attendance has varied to between 60 and 70 people, Kerwin said.
"The meals are made by donations from the ECM (Ecumenical Christian Ministries) and other produce donated throughout the city," said Heath Poland, another founding member of the Lawrence chapter. "We're also going to be putting up boxes for food donations downtown at Fuzzy's Tacos and Third Planet."
For other students who would like to get involved, both Kerwin and Bova say simply attending the dinners is the first step. Informal meetings are often held near the end of the meal and those interested can volunteer to pick up food donations, cook the food at the ECM, and help with cleanup.
For now, the dinners will continue to be served on Thursday evenings at 6:30. Kerwin would like to expand the group in the months ahead, with both free meals and events.

Governor calls for more federal disaster assistance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. - Gov. Sam Brownback has asked for federal disaster declarations for 37 more counties hit by drought, heat, high winds and wildfires.
The governor's office said Friday he's asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to declare 37 more counties disasters, making farmers there eligible for USDA disaster assistance programs.
The request includes Atchison, Brown, Chase, Cherokee, Clay, Cloud, Dickinson, Doniphan, Douglas, Ellis, Ellsworth, Franklin, Geary, Jackson, Jefferson, Jewell, Johnson, Leavenworth, Lincoln, Marion, Miami, Mitchell, Morris, Nemaha, Osage, Osborne, Ottawa, Pottawatomie, Republic, Riley,
If the 37 are approved, that would mean 103 of the state's 105 counties are primary federal disaster areas. The two that are not, Marshall and Washington, border primary counties and would receive disaster declarations as contiguous counties.
Rush, Russell, Saline, Shawnee, Smith, Wabaunsee and Wyandotte.

Missouri bans Kansas logo from plates

DYLAN DERRYBERRY editor@kansan.com
The Border War may have come to an end, but it seems tensions are still high. Missouri lawmakers recently voted three times to ban Jayhawk logos from appearing on state license plates. Although University students have spent their collegiate years in Kansas, many grew up in Missouri and some graduates are finding work there.
Michael MacGregor, a senior
from St. Louis, grew up among MU fans, but didn't agree with his home state's decision.
"Being from Missouri, I have a unique understanding of the Border War," MacGregor said. "I have attempted to be a fair judge of the conflict, but this move by Missouri seems completely egregious."
The ban was led by Missouri state representatives Caleb Jones and Stephen Webber, who was vocal about his opinion on the Jayhawk logo.

"Here in Kansas, we have a sense of morality and commitment," MacGregor said. "We stand by this principle and refuse to play them since they have flaked off to the SEC."
"Like generations of Missourians before us, we face an incursion from the west," Webber said on the House floor May 15. "It will be repulsed. This is the effort to affix the dreaded, disgusting Jayhawk's symbol to our Missouri license plates."
Webber said that he would be willing to support removing the ban if Kansas basketball coach Bill Self agreed to play Missouri next year, which Self stated in February "will not happen in the immediate future."
MacGregor called Missouri's departure from the Big 12 a "cardinal sin" to Kansas fans and defended Self's refusal to schedule a game.
Alec White, a sophomore from Overland Park, said he wouldn't care if he saw a Kansas license plate with the Missouri tiger on it, but the rivalry should be left to the students.
"It's stupid. They make the rivalry too big. People take it too seriously." White said. "Elected officials shouldn't base their governing on a rivalry."
Curtis O'Hearn graduated from the University in May and is now working in Kansas City, Mo., but he doesn't like that he can't support his alma mater.
"I don't exactly know when or if I'll be registering for a Missouri license plate, but I'd still like the option," O'Hearn said. "Lots of kids from Kansas City go to KU. It's so close to the border that it seems fair enough that we should to be able to support our school."

Shooting random, difficult to prevent
CRIME SCENE-DO NOT CROSS
SCENA DE CRIMEN-NO CRUZAR
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Federal law enforcement agents work outside the apartment of alleged gunman James Holmes, Saturday, July 21 in Aurora, Colo. Authorities reported that 12 died and more than three dozen people were shot during the midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The lone gunman keeps law enforcement officers across the country awake at night.
He's hard to pick out of a crowd. He has no criminal record. Often, he hasn't told anyone about his plans. He's compiled a weapons cache legally. He doesn't show up on any law enforcement radar until after he's acted.
The government has been more successful stopping al-Qaida from pulling off another Sept. 11-type attack than it has in preventing deadly shooting sprees such as the one in the movie theater in Aurora, Colo.
Law enforcement officials say it's nearly impossible to stop someone like James Holmes, the intelligent 24-year-old who, officials believe, killed 12 people and injured dozens of others.
The threat of the lone offender has become such a concern that the FBI in 2019 created a more than 25-member task force to identify common behavioral traits and characteristics. In 2012 alone, there have been 22 mass shootings, according to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
To stop al-Qaida, the government attacked terrorist hideouts, froze major sources of terrorists' funding and made it more difficult for them to acquire weapons and materials to build bombs.
Holmes does not appear to be part of any terrorist or criminal network; officials say his purchases were legitimate and raised no red flags. "There will be no easy or quick answers and maybe there will never be any answers," the Aurora police chief, Dan Oates, told CBS "Face the Nation," adding that all the evidence gathered so far indicates "he wasn't particularly aided by anyone else."
Until Friday, Holmes did nothing to bring him to the attention of law enforcement.
"There's no way you can prevent it. There's absolutely no way," said Peter Ahearn, a former FBI agent. "It was random. It happened. There was nothing that could have prevented that unless someone saw him loading his car with guns."
The Department of Homeland Security runs a nation-wide "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign. Ads encouraging people to report suspicious activity are displayed around the country, including in some movie theaters, the department said.

Even so, Holmes arrived at the theater dressed in black, outfitted in a gas mask, ballistic helmet, vest and leggings, black tactical gloves and protectors on his throat and groin. He was armed with an assault-style rifle, a shotgun and Glock handgun.
So far, law enforcement has not determined a motive for the attack, and no one has come forward to say they saw Holmes doing something suspicious. People have described him as clean-cut, studious and quiet. A man who had a drink with him just days before his deadly rampage said Holmes had a backpack and geeky glasses.
Holmes broke no laws when he purchased his weapons, and he passed the required background checks.
Previously enacted legal restrictions on guns might have made it more difficult for Holmes to buy certain weapons and kill so many people, but he still would have been able to purchase a gun.
Holmes also "booby-trapped" his apartment with trip wires and explosive devices set up to kill, police said.
It's on the government to reassure people that they're not being paranoid, or overreacting, when they see something that doesn't seem right, he said.
"That's really the only defense against lone gunmen — for someone to have said something when they wrote off their observations and instincts," said Christopher Voss, a former FBI agent and hostage negotiator.

ODD NEWS
Medieval underwear discovered in castle
VIENNA — A revolutionary discovery is rewriting the history of underwear: Some 600 years ago, women wore bras.
The University of Innsbruck said Wednesday that archeologists found four linen bras dating from the Middle Ages in an Austrian castle. Fashion experts describe the find as surprising because the bra had commonly been thought to be only little more than 100 years old as women
abandoned the tight corset.
Instead, it appears the bra came first, followed by the corset, followed by the reinvented bra.
One specimen in particular "looks exactly like a (modern) brassiere," says Hilary Davidson, fashion curator for the London Museum.
The university said the four bras were among more than 2,700 textile fragments — some linen, others linen combined with cotton — that were found intermixed with dirt, wood, straw and pieces of leather.
"Four linen textiles resemble modern-time bras" with distinct cups
and one in particular looks like today's version, it said, with "two broad shoulder straps and a possible back strap, not preserved but indicated by partially torn edges of the cups onto which it was attached."

The men's basketball team will take its talents overseas this August to face off against some of Europe's finest. The team will take a nine-day trip between Switzerland and France where they will play two exhibition games against Switzerland's national team and two
against French professional teams.
The trip will come at a good time for the Jayhawks, as they have a renvamped roster from last season, which includes eight freshmen. Head coach Bill Self said this trip will help his players on and off the court for the upcoming season.

"I think it's great we get to play four games against quality competition while we're over there," Self said, "but more importantly, I think it's going to be a great educational experience for our guys."

ence that, while at the same time,
get our basketball team a little better."
Senior guard Travis Releford said the opportunity to play against professional basketball players will be beneficial for the team going forward.
"This year, we got the new guys coming in," Releford said, "and I think it's going to be a great experience for them and our team to be able to play together and get a feel for each other out on the court."
The exhibition games will follow FIBA rules, which are significantly different from college basketball standards. The shot clock will be at 24 seconds rather than 35, players have eight seconds to cross half court and only five seconds to shoot a free throw.
Senior center Jeff Withey said the style of play in Europe is different than in the United States.
"It's a physical group of guys, and they like to hit you. Withey said, "and usually, the Americans don't get the best calls in the world.
"They love to shoot the ball. They can all shoot and face-up, so you're pretty much playing against five guards. They don't post up as much. It's definitely going to be a challenge, but I think it's going to be good for us and good for the freshmen."
Senior guard Elijah Johnson said regardless of the results in Europe, the trip will be used as a learning experience.
"I want to go over and have a good time and get to know everybody," Johnson said. "I think if there's a chance for us to get closer, it's sending us over the waters together. We are definitely going to find out some stuff about each other. I think that this trip is going to be beneficial regardless, whether we don't play as good, we are going to learn something."

Wesley to star as Chamberlain
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Kansas men's basketball junior Justin Wesley will portray former Kansas basketball star Wilt Chamberlain in the upcoming locally produced film, "Jayhawkers." KU Athletics announced on July 18.
Kansas alum Kip Niven joins Wesley in the film, playing legendary Kansas coach Forrest "Phog" Allen. Niven, an experienced character actor, has had roles in films such as "Magnum Force," "Earthquake," and "The Only Good Indian."
"They told me it (the shoot) should take four or five weeks and they told me it may take five or eight takes of the same scene," Wesley said in a press release. "It will be pretty time consuming but it should be a lot of fun."
The story, written by KU Assistant Professor of Film Kevin Willmott and Lawrence Producer Scott Richardson, centers on the relationship between Allen and Chamberlain as Allen recruits Chamberlain to Kansas and the center becomes one of the most dominant players in Jayhawk history.
"I have watched a couple of interviews of Wilt and have seen some highlights of his game," Wesley said
in a press release. "I've asked some people around about his mannerisms or what he did when he played. I've picked up a couple of things
Wesley
A.
but I won't reveal those yet."
Chamberlain
Actor Blake Robinson, who has had roles in television's "Oz" and "The Office", will play Kansas coach Dick Harp. Under the direction of Harp. Chamberlain led the 1957 Jayhawks to the National Championship game, where they lost in triple overtime.
Filming starts
Aug. 15 in Lawrence, the day after the basketball team returns from it's trip to Europe.
"It's an honor to be portraying one of the best players of all time, not only in Kansas history but in basketball history," Wesley said in a press release. "This is going to be a great experience and a once-in-a-lifetime deal and I'm happy to be doing it."

Bad pitching leads to Royal losses
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals' pitching rotation had a 7.38 ERA during a 3-7 homestand.The Royals have lost 15 of 20 and are only a half-game in front of the Minnesota Twins for last place in the AL Central.
Twins' designated hitter Ryan Doumit homered from both sides of the plate and drove in four runs to lead the Twins to a 7-5 victory over Kansas City on Sunday.
Doumit homered to lead off the second inning swinging left-handed. He opened the sixth with his ninth home run, batting right-handed against reliever Tim
Collins.
Doumit's big day spoiled the Royals debut of right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, acquired Friday in a trade with the Rockies for Jonathan Sanchez. Guthrie (3-10) yielded four runs on five hits and three walks in five innings.
Samuel Deduno (1-0) limited the Royals to one run and six singles over 61-3 innings for his first major league victory.
Billy Butler homered, his 19th, with Moustakas aboard in the eighth against Twins reliever Anthony Swarzak. Pinch-hitter Yuniesky Betancourt also connected in the Royals' two-run ninth.

FAMILY
Garretts bring religious group to students, basketball team
MOLLY RYAN
editor@kansan.com
When Cynthia Garrett and her husband Roger Charles moved to Lawrence almost a year and a half ago, they had one thing on their mind: Kansas Basketball.
Garrett's only son, Christian Garrett, joined the University of Kansas basketball team in January 2011. While athletics brought Christian Garrett to Lawrence, Cynthia Garrett said she and Charles felt that they were brought to Lawrence to help the University in a different way. For nearly a year, they have opened up their home weekly to host a Bible study for KU students.
"The study really started with Christian asking Roger about the Bible and then going to practice and talking with his teammates about what Roger had shared with him;" Cynthia Garrett said. "One teammate in particular, Jordan [Juenemann] asked if he could start coming to study the Bible with Christian and Roger. So the two of them basically began their own little study in our home."
Juenemann and Christian began inviting friends and classmates. The group quickly grew from two to nearly 25 each week. Cynthia Garrett says she was thrilled with how the excitement spread about their Bible "homeschooling."
"There were some weeks where we had almost 60 students in our home, and I remember thinking we were going to have to start a church," Cynthia Garrett said.
For Samantha Wunderle, a junior from Mankato who regularly attends the Bible study, Charles and Cynthia Garrett have been more than just educators.
"Roger and Cynthia are always
there," Wunderle said. "If I have a question or need to talk, they are always open to helping me in whatever way they can. They are just people that I can always go to in Lawrence, which is great because all of my family is at least three hours away."
Cynthia has also partnered with Wayne Simien and Rev. Leo Barbee, who both have been reaching out to Christian students on campus for many years.
"We want young people to be bold and to not be embarrassed to be different and to be proud of their faith," Cynthia Garrett said. She credits Simien and Barbee, along with the good nature of KU students with her success as a mentor.
"There are a lot of good people here in Lawrence," she said. "I feel like we're a part of something greater here."

Sporting KC holds New England to scoreless draw
SOCCER
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen made four saves for his league-leading ninth shutout of the season in a scoreless draw with the New England Revolution on July 21.
Sporting (11-6-4) moved one
point behind first-place New York in the Eastern Conference. Nielsen's shutout moved him one ahead of Vancouver's Joe Cannon.
Matt Reis earned his fourth shutout for New England (6-9-5), which is just 1-7-2 on the road.
Each goalie had to make a spectacular save to preserve the draw.
Nielsen punched out Ryan Guy's header in the 15th minute,
and Reis made a diving fingertip save to deflect Jacob Peterson's header in the 52nd.
Reis spent several minutes on the field late in stoppage time after colliding in the air with Sporting forward Kei Kamara, but was able to finish out the match.

SCANDAL
Paterno statue moved, NCAA to act
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The NCAA announced Sunday that it will issue sanctions against Penn State in the wake of a scathing report that found that top university officials buried child sex abuse allegations against a now-convicted retired assistant and led to the tearing down of the famed statue of once-sainted coach Joe Paterno.
Shortly after Paterno's statue was removed Sunday, six months to the day after he died, the NCAA came forward to say that it will levy "corrective and punitive measures" against the school. The sanctions will be spelled out Monday, the NCAA said without disclosing further details.
NCAA President Mark Emmert hasn't ruled out the possibility of shutting down the Penn State football program in the wake of the scandal, saying he had "never seen anything as egregious."
The Paterno family issued a statement saying the statue's removal "does not serve the victims of Jerry Sandusky's horrible crimes or help heal the Penn State community."
"We believe the only way to help the victims is to uncover the full truth," said the family, which vowed its own investigation following the release of an investigative report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh that found that Paterno and three other top Penn State administrators concealed sex abuse claims against Sandusky.
The family called the report "the equivalent of an indictment — a charging document written by a prosecutor — and an incomplete and unofficial one at that."
The bronze statue, weighing more than 900 pounds, was built in 2001 in honor of Paterno's record-setting 324th Division I coaching victory and his "contributions to the university." Students chanted, "We are Penn State" as the statue came down.
Penn State President Rod Erickson said he decided to have the statue removed and put into storage because it "has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing."
"I believe that, were it to remain, the statue will be a recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse," Erickson said in a statement.
In Washington, a White House press secretary said President Barack Obama believed "it was the right decision."
By many of those watching the statue's removal stared in disbelief and at least one woman wept, while others expressed anger at the decision.
"I think it was an act of cowardice on the part of the university," said Mary Trometter, of Williamsport, who wore a shirt bearing Paterno's image. She said she felt betrayed by university officials, saying they promised openness but said nothing about the decision until just before the removal work began.

Scott blows big lead. Els wins British Open
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England Ernie Els kept feeling that something special could happen at the British Open, and it did.
But only after a collapse by Adam Scott that no one imagined.
Four shots ahead with four holes to play after eight straight holes with nothing worse than par - Scott begyed them all and had to fight back tears on the 18th green Sunday as the magnitude of his meltdown began to sink in.
Els, who started the final round six shots behind, finished off a flawless back nine with a 15-foot birdie putt for a 2-under 68 that looked as if it would do little more than lock up another runner-up finish at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Instead, he wound up with his second British Open — the other one was 10 years ago at Muirfield — and fourth major championship at a stage in his career when it seemed as though his best golf was behind him.
The celebration was muted, unlike
his other three majors.
"I'm a little numb at the moment," said Els, who was on the practice green behind the clubhouse when he won. "First of all, I feel for Adam Scott. He's a great friend of mind. Obviously, we both wanted to win very badly. But you know, that's the nature of the beast. That's why we're out here. You win, you lose.
The wind finally arrived off the Irish Sea and ushered in pure chaos — a mental blunder by Tiger Woods that led to triple bogey on the sixth hole, a lost ball by Brandt Snedeker that took him out of contention and a topped shot that made former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell look like an amateur.
"It was my time for some reason."
Nothing was more stunning than what happened to Scott.
"I had it in my hands with four to go," Scott said. "I managed to hit a poor shot on each of the closing four holes. Look, I played so beautifully for most of the week. I shouldn't let this bring me down."
