ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, who always has been afraid of flying, said he was glad to be alive after suffering severe burns in a fiery plane crash last month.
"I hate planes" Barker said in an interview with Us Weekly magazine. "My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened ... well, I'm just thankful to be alive! I'm just grateful to be here at all."
The 32-year-old musician and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM were the only survivors of the crash just before midnight Sept. 19 at the main airport in Columbia, S.C. Two pilots and two other passengers were killed, including Barker's assistant Chris Baker.
Barker was released from a Georgia hospital last week and is now being treated at a burn center in Los Angeles. He said he was too afraid to fly cross-country, so he arranged to travel by bus with his father and ex-wife Shanna Moakler to keep him company.
"I am doing the best I can possibly be," he said in the magazine's latest issue. "I'm so anxious to get out of here... I've just been in surgery after surgery. I have third-degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands has second-degree burns and one has third-degree burns."
If all goes well, Barker expects to leave the hospital within two weeks.
"I'm trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again," said Barker, who has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Moakler.
DJ AM, Adam Goldstein, was recently released from the hospital,

too. Doctors have said they expect both men to fully recover.
Officials with the National Transportation Safety Board
have said a cockpit voice recorder revealed that crew members thought a tire blew out and tried to abort the takeoff.

Revise an old dream. You can put the right team together to do it now. It'll take more people than you alone to get where you want to go. Get the right people to help.
HOROSCOPES
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 6
The work is more complicated than you like, and it might even give you a headache. Calm down and look at the problem from a different point of view, after taking your meds. You can do this.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 10
It's easy to express your true feelings now, and get them published. Got something you feel passionate about? Jot a letter off to the paper, or begin writing your next novel.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 6
Listen again to a family member's endless tale of woe. Provide hope, if you can, even if it's been rejected before. This time it could take.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22)
Today is a 7
Get your competition on the defensive. Evade questions put to you, and turn them around so the other guy has to provide facts and figures. This will be fun.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8
Get the contract in writing before you do the work. That won't be easy to do, but your odds of getting paid go up dramatically if you go to the trouble.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today is an 8
Share goals with somebody you love, even the ones that are so far out it would take years to achieve them. Make lists and get started. It's fun.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Todav is a 6
Your attention is drawn to a domestic matter that needs a decision. Listen to all the opinions, but reserve judgment.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is an 8
You're a teacher, but also a student. People respect your wisdom. Do a little more studying so you'll be ready. You never know what they'll hit you with next.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8
You can generate more income,
and you even know how. Follow
through on promises you've
made, including those made to
yourself. Get busy.
You should be in a pretty good mood, but whether you make a profit is a huge variable. It looks more likely you'll splurge on something to share with your friends.

You get some of your best ideas when you're sound asleep. This time, watch for something you can use to save money. Write it down when you first wake up, so you don't forget it.

Britney's attorney rejects plea offer of $150 fine
LOS ANGELES — An attorney for Brittney Spears has rejected a plea offer that would have placed her on a year's probation and forced her to pay a $150 fine in her misdemeanor driver's license case.
Attorney J. Michael Flanagan said Spears would
consider an offer that reduced the charge to an infraction and required her to pay a $10 fine.
He said if the case did go to trial as scheduled later this month, he would appeal any conviction.
DIFFICULT DIALOGUES:
RACE, EDUCATION & AMERICAN POLITICS
The Impact of Race on Education
A debate between the KU debate team and the Texas Southern University debate team.
This non-competitive debate will pair the debate team from Texas Southern University, one of the nation's largest Historically Black Colleges and Universities, with KU's team, led by head coach Scott Harris. In 2007 TSU's head coach, Dr. Thomas Freeman, held a debate camp for actors in the movie The Great Debaters. The movie took its inspiration from the 1935 debate in which Wiley College defeated the reigning national champion, the University of Southern California (not Harvard as depicted in the movie).
Oct. 10 | The Commons at Spooner Hall | 3:30-5:00 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public. No tickets are required.

Does your tuition bill have you seeing double?
www.ScottMorganForSenate.com\KUStudents.htm
KU tuition and fees have increased more than 100% in the past six years. Meanwhile, support from the state of Kansas has not kept up.
Scott believes that Kansas must renew its commitment to higher education.Because starting your career under a mountain of debt is just not right.
