At the beginning of his teaching career, says David Williams, the way he dealt with bullies was to sit down with the bully and the victim to get them to work it out.

“We’d tell the bully to stop, and tell the victim, ‘You’ve gotta be stronger.

You’ve gotta be tough.’

“Well, that doesn’t work,” said Williams, now principal of Prairie Park School. “The victims continue to be victims. The bullies con-

tinue to be bullies.”

Without changing the dynamics of their relationship and their environment, “we were just setting up the victim to be bullied again.”

Bullying’s no joke. The national data are grim: ● 32 percent of U.S. students between the ages of 12 and 18 reported having been bullied at school, according to the 2007 National Crime Victimization Survey’s School Crime Supplement.

● 17 percent of students in grades 3 through 12 said they’d been bullied at least two to three times a month, according to a survey of more than a half-million students that was done by the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, which is being used by more than 6,000 schools in the U.S. Bullies and bully victims are about evenly divided between girls and boys.

According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, victims, bullies and children who are both bullies and victims report that they’re three times more likely to seriously consider suicide, intentionally injure them-

July 4 celebration might include Iron Chef-style competition

By Paul Koepp Special to the Journal-World

Some Lawrence restaurant owners have plans to make this year’s Fourth of July celebration bigger and better than ever.

For the third year in a row, the Lawrence Originals — 21 locally owned restaurants — will help fund the fireworks display traditionally put on by the Lawrence Jaycees.

The group is kicking in $7,000, a little more than half the tab for the fireworks, according to Lawrence Originals President Doug Holiday, owner of Bigg’s BBQ. The display includes about 2,000 mostly 5- and 6-inch shells, which will be shot off from behind Johnny’s Tavern, north of

Organizers expect between 8,000 and 10,000 people at Watson Park, double the number from 2009 and many more than last year, when rain threatened to cancel the event. downtown.

“I think we could have a lot bigger show out at the (Clinton) lake, but people want it here downtown,” said Gary Saathoff, head of the Jaycees.

Organizers expect between 8,000 and 10,000 people at Watson Park, double the number from 2009 and many more than last year, when rain

threatened to cancel the event.

Lawrence Originals vendors will offer food and drinks starting at 2 p.m., and four bands will play leading up to the fireworks at 9:45 p.m.

Children’s activities will also be available.

The centerpiece of the day could be an Iron Chef-style competition put on by Tom Wilson, the owner of Teller’s Restaurant. His three chefs will put together dishes from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Guests can buy a ticket for all three plates for $20 and then vote on the winner. The results will be announced after the fireworks show, kicking off an after-party.

The Teller’s event will take place in a 2,000-square-foot enclosure at the corner of Sixth and Kentucky streets featuring stadium seating for the fireworks. Admission is $10.

Wilson, who is investing $20,000 in the event, expects to serve 8,000 drinks and 1,200 plates of food.

“I’m confident that if I build it, they will come,” he said. “I think it’s fun. I think it’s a great addition to the park.”

Wilson said the entire celebration should be “bigger than Lawrence has ever seen” and he sees it growing each year.

Holiday agreed that with greater awareness of the event, it should be able to draw crowds from the surrounding area and generate more revenue for downtown businesses.

“People know about it now and know what we’re doing,” he said. “A lot of smaller towns don’t even have fireworks displays now because of budget cuts. We hope to

TOPEKA — State budget cuts to human services are starting to inundate local communities.

Cottonwood Inc., which provides services to individuals with developmental disabilities in Douglas and Jefferson counties, is searching for ways to make up for cuts that will remove state funding for 26 people.

“We’re trying to continue

Layoffs Sherriene Jones-Sontag, a spokeswoman for Brownback, said state employee layoffs also were the result of Cabinet secretaries working on efficiencies, and responding to budget cuts.

“Secretaries have been looking, for five months, at how agencies are structured, to make agencies more efficient and responsive, and now they are beginning to implement those plans,” she said.

KDOL is led by Secretary

to serve them,” said Sharon Spratt, chief executive officer of Cottonwood. “We are meeting with the county next month to see if they could help make up a little bit of this loss.”

The 26 people with developmental disabilities receive staff support to help them with their daily lives and personal needs, she said.

“They function pretty well, but they do need supports in order to keep them healthy and productive and safe,”

Karin Brownlee, a Republican appointed by Brownback who took office in January.

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said he was not convinced that layoffs were necessary.

“For a governor that is advocating the creation of jobs, to me it seems contrary to that goal is to be laying off people,” Hensley said. “Previous administrations have been successful in preventing layoffs.”

During the just completed legislative session, Brownlee had sought legislation that would have made all employees at the Labor Department unclassif ied

Spratt said.

Cottonwood is losing about $250,000 in state funding in the program, she said.

That is just one of many cuts that will hit social service agencies as the Legislature reduced funding to the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services by approximately $20 million for the fiscal year that starts July 1.

Bullying CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Identifying bullies When Prairie Park School, which has 408 students, did its first bullying survey, “we came up with 10 percent: 40 kids,” says Williams. By taking a closer look at the data, they identified 20 children from first to sixth grade who were bullies.

That’s because bullying is different from isolated incidents of bad behavior. ● There’s an imbalance of power — the child who is a bully is stronger, meaner or has some type of advantage over the victim. ● The bully often forces a victim to do something — give up lunch money or possessions, or perform humiliating acts while he threatens the victim or beats him up. ● There is an ongoing relationship, i.e., the bully picks on the victim regularly.

That was the first lesson the staff learned when they embarked on the Olweus (pronounced Ol-VEY-us) Bullying Prevention Program three years ago, a year before Kansas required all schools to implement some type of bullying program. The next lessons: learning how to ferret out bullying, dealing with bullies, and then setting up an environment to prevent bullying.

The school had a big kickoff for the program, with antibullying signs plastered throughout the school.

Williams made sure that everyone — administration, teachers, students and support staff — knew how to identify and report bullying.

They identif ied places where bullying is mostly likely to happen — on the playground, in the bathrooms — and did a better job of supervising the students. Now, by the end of the first grade, Williams said, they can identify the kids who are bullies and begin working with them.

“We’ve got a bully rubric,” said Williams, pulling out a sheet of paper with the words “Consequences Rubric” at the top and a chart listing bullying behaviors and what happens the first, second and third time they occur. The behaviors work their way up from teasing and exclusion to physical bullying and severe violence. The consequences range from light — a verbal warning and the student calling home — to strict: suspension.

“Many times, kids who are bullies don’t realize that they are bullies,” Williams said.

Some kids turn their behavior around right away; others take more time. Bullies aren’t born; they’re made. “They’re raised where fear and intimidation are normal ways of communicating. For a lot of bullies, the only way they’ve learned to make friends is to intimidate people.”

The other way to stop bullying is to create an environment to prevent it. This ranges from close supervision of students, as well as not allowing students to exclude others by saving seats in the cafeteria, for example.

In this system, Williams said, “we move kids away from being afraid of the bully, because they know the school doesn’t tolerate it, the staff are always watching, and there are consequences. We help them learn how to deal

with social situations better, get a solid group of friends to support them.”

The bullies feel supported, too, Williams said.

“They’re bullying because of some other reason, often because of something that’s happening at home,” he said.

“Since a child is always going to live in that home environment, at least we can set up a place at school where he isn’t victimizing people at school.”

Less bullying Since the program was implemented, there’s a lot less bullying going on, Williams said. “Now I can count on one hand the bullies in our school. Of the 408 kids, only about five fit the bullying mode,” he said. And those, they can manage.

At the beginning of the coming school year, there won’t be a lot of hoopla about bullying because Prairie Park won’t need it — they’ve created an environment in which the children feel as safe at the end of the year as they did at the beginning.

But there are some bullies that will never change, Williams said, because much of the impetus for a child to change her or his behavior comes from parents.

Williams recalls one child who was a bully from the first grade.

“He treated other kids exactly the way his father treated him,” he said. And the bully’s father saw nothing wrong with his son’s behavior. That child will likely carry his bullying into middle school, Williams said, and have another weapon at his disposal: cyberbullying.

Phony war hero indicted for fraud

1 | NEW YORK CITY

DNA used to identify bin Laden’s body Federal authorities used DNA from “multiple family members” and facial recognition technology to identify the body of Osama bin Laden, according to court papers filed Friday that formally dropped terrorism charges against the slain al-Qaida leader.

The papers detail the CIA’s painstaking efforts to make sure the man killed May 2 during a Navy SEALs raid of his compound in Pakistan was indeed bin Laden.

After the raid, U.S. forces collected DNA from bin Laden’s body and took it to a base in Afghanistan, said a statement signed by a top U.S. counterterrorism official, Deputy Assistant Attorney General George Z. Toscas.

CIA personnel there compared it “with a comprehensive DNA profile derived from DNA collected from multiple members of bin Laden’s family,” the statement said. “These tests confirmed that the sample (from the raid) genetically matched the derived comprehensive DNA profile for Osama bin Laden.”

It added: “The possibility of a mistaken identification is approximately one in 11.8 quadrillion.”

“It’s been such a devastating experience since Nov. 23.

We’re numb,” Paul Freeman, of Lincoln, Neb., after Cameron Freeman said Harrison’s plea. “In all of our hearts, every day is difficult. It’s very, very difficult. Since we haven’t been to the sentencing yet, it’s kind of anti-climactic right now.”

Prosecutors said Harrison’s blood-alcohol content after the crash was 0.183, which is more than twice the legal limit to drive in Kansas. He was

When the economy slowed down and construction jobs started drying up, Warren K. Parker had an idea for getting more business.

Pretend to be a wounded war hero, create a company called Silver Star Construction and bid on jobs reserved for companies owned by true service-disabled veterans, narrowing his pool of competing bidders. For a while, the plan worked, nabbing Parker multiple million-dollar construction contracts — including three at Fort Leavenworth.

That’s how U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom described Parker’s scheme on Thursday, when he announced that Parker and three others had been indicted on charges of defrauding a federal program that uses stimulus money to help companies owned by wounded veterans.

“These contracts are supposed to go to genuine service-disabledveteran-owned small businesses, not to impostors who break the rules and scheme to beat the system,” Grissom said. “If we fail to hold these firms accountable we will be sending a message to unscrupulous members of the contracting community that

Medicare goes high-tech to head off fraud Tired of paying bogus claims, then chasing the scammers, Medicare announced Friday it is deploying screening technology similar to what’s widely used by credit card companies to head off fraud.

Up to now, the $500 billion-a-year government health program for seniors has basically paid claims first and asked questions later in a system dubbed “pay and chase.”

The technology upgrade should help deter flagrant abuses such as the small clinic that suddenly starts billing more for a particular outpatient procedure — intravenous infusions, for example — than major hospitals in its area. But it’s not likely to help crack sophisticated schemes that involve outwardly respectable companies with the expertise to cover their tracks.

AARP slammed for not fighting cuts AARP, the powerful lobby for older Americans, was hammered Friday by fellow activists for refusing to oppose any and all cuts to Social Security benefits, a position the group says it has long held as a way to extend the life of the massive retirement and disability program.

The group, which has 37 million Americans as members, adamantly opposes cutting Social Security benefits to help reduce the federal budget deficit, said David Certner, the organization’s director of legislative policy. But for years AARP has acknowledged that cuts to future benefits may be necessary to improve the program’s finances, he said.

SATURDAY COLUMN

Law professor representative of distinguished KU faculty

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Kansas University is an aboveaverage state-aided university.

Some would say KU is a far-aboveaverage school, while others might qualify their grading by suggesting it is an excellent institution but has the opportunity and potential to become an even better and more outstanding state-aided school.

Many facets or elements contribute to the reputation and ranking of a school. Sometimes, it’s the chancellor or president, and, in KU’s case, there have been times when the school has blossomed under excellent and visionary leadership and times when there hasn’t been the leadership and the school has suffered.

However, throughout KU’s history, the one hallmark that has distinguished the university is the quality and loyalty of its outstanding faculty members, faculty who easily could have accepted far more attractive offers at other schools but, for various reasons, remained in their Mount Oread offices.

This loyalty, if that’s the right word, of academic giants is one of the reasons KU has enjoyed such loyalty and pride among its alumni.

In turn, these alumni represent

another great strength of the university, and it is important to nurture this influential group.

The faculty, however, the quality and excellence of the faculty, is a constant that distinguishes KU. One such faculty member is KU professor of law Raj Bhala. The Rice Distinguished Professor teaches courses in Islamic law, international trade law and advanced international trade law.

The unassuming Bhala joined the KU faculty in 2003, coming from George Washington University. He is a graduate of Duke University and received master’s degrees from both the London School of Economics and Oxford University. He obtained his law degree with honors from Harvard University and then worked with the Federal Reserve in New York, where he twice was awarded the President’s Award for Excellence.

His honors, publications and memberships in national and international societies and councils are vast, as are his travels and work in numerous countries. He’s an avid runner who has run many half and full marathons, including the Boston Marathon.

KU has an impressive roster of distinguished professors, but the

POP!

reason for pointing out Bhala is that his latest book has just been released and is sure to be a national and international bestseller at university law schools, as well as governmental centers, international bodies and military schools and training centers.

COMMENTARY The book is titled “Understanding Islamic Law (Shari’a).” It is a 1,500-page, 50-chapter book that covers the history and religion of Islam as well as Shari’a. The book examines all of the specialty legal fields of Shari’a: banking, business associations, contracts, criminal, family law, inheritance, international law and property.

The book is the first comprehensive text written on this topic by a non-Muslim American law professor and, although it is a huge collection of information, it is written and presented in a way that is interesting, informative and easy reading for those outside the legal field.

Bhala says, “The book systematically compares and contrasts Islam and Islamic law not only with U.S. law, but also Catholic Christianity.”

He adds that he hopes his book serves to expose a vast degree of common ground, highlight genuine distinctions, delineate authentic from inauthentic Islamic precepts and “thereby increase understanding.”

It’s doubtful the book could have been made available at a more important time. Islamic law is a hot and important topic.

Bhala says, “I enjoy teaching courses in two specialty fields: international trade law and Islamic law. My students, who come from around the world and represent many faith traditions, encouraged me to write a textbook on Islamic Law. This course is taught at about half of the 200 law schools in the United States accredited by the American Bar Association and many foreign law schools.” The book represents three years of research.

This column is not meant as a review or promotion of this impressive book, which is sure to gain international attention and accolades, but rather to point out Bhala as one of the unusual number of truly outstanding KU faculty members. These distinguished professors are indeed outstanding faculty members who greatly add to the overall excellence of the university.

Their excellence and recognition is sure to spur other faculty members to try to achieve a record that merits the “distinguished” faculty title. The presence of these scholars and researchers surely is a major factor in attracting outstanding students, as well as faculty, to the university, and they are great Lawrence residents.

Obviously, Bhala is an exceptional faculty member with a tremendous academic and teaching background. However, he is not alone.

Unfortunately, this story of excellence at KU has not been told nor is it adequately appreciated or understood by state legislators or even some members of the Kansas Board of Regents.

Over the last 15 years or so, officials in Strong Hall have done a poor and ineffective job of telling the KU story. This is one of the principal reasons KU finds itself in its current position with poor faculty morale, unhappiness and frustration among growing numbers of alumni, cuts in state funding and growing concern about leadership and the future of the university.

People like Bhala at KU and KU Medical Center, as well as the entire state, need and deserve better leadership, vision and inspiration.

there is no punishment and no penalty for abusing the program.”

Grissom said the government would demand the defendants repay $6.8 million in fraudulently obtained revenue, and authorities began by freezing bank accounts Wednesday night.

“At some point we’re going to get every nickel and dime,” Grissom said.

Silver Star Construction maintained offices in Blue Springs, Mo., and the Stilwell community of Johnson County, according to the indictment.

Parker, 69, his wife, Mary, 66, and his son Michael, 37, all of Blue Springs, Mo., stand charged with crimes including conspiracy, fraud and money laundering.

Also charged is Leawood resident Thomas J. Whitehead, 59, who is the majority owner of Phoenix Building Group Inc. and claimed he worked for Silver Star Co n s t r u c t i o n , wh i c h authorities described as a pass through, or front, company for Phoenix Building Group.

Silver Star Construction obtained more than 10 contracts from the Veterans Administration and from the Department of Defense from 2008 to 2010, according to the indictment.

The Leavenworth contracts were awarded Nov. 16, 2009, in the amount of $1.3 million; Nov. 23, 2009, in the amount of $1.2 million; and Dec. 23, 2009, in the amount of $1.2 million. Grissom said he did not know specifics about the projects.

Parker’s concocted warhero persona was over the top.

Parker claimed he was a

major in the Army who had completed three tours of duty in Vietnam, the indictment said.

He claimed he was awarded three Silver Stars, the Legion of Merit, four Bronze Stars with Valor, 11 Air Medals with Valor and 300 hours of combat air time, three Purple Heart Medals, a Presidential Citation, a U.S. Army Citation, Combat Infantryman’s Badge, Vietnam Service Medal with 79 Battle Stars, and more than 32 Citations for Heroism.

In reality, Grissom said, Parker served five years in the Missouri National Guard and never left the state on active duty. He was honorably discharged in 1968 as an equipment mechanic, and the only decoration he received was an expert shooting badge.

Grissom said a background check revealed Parker’s lies, but he would not say how authorities were tipped off.

A 2009 Government Accountability Office report found widespread fraud and abuse in the Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Program, Grissom said. He said the report made it obvious that relying on applicants’ presumed “honor and integrity” wasn’t enough.

Grissom said the indictment unsealed Thursday was the first of its kind in Kansas.

“The victims are the legitimate service-disabled veterans and their firms,” he said.

“This prosecution is part of the effort to protect them by tightening controls to prevent fraud and abuse.”

The defendants were arraigned shortly before the press conference and have been released, he said.

They face up to 30 years in prison for conspiracy to defraud the government, plus additional years for other fraud and conspiracy convictions.

We don’t hate Zachary Harrison. We do think he should pay what’s due — the maximum, I guess. He will walk away someday. He will have kids. He will CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A have a family. Not that we hate Zachary Harrison. We accused of stealing a newspa- just want him to pay the price.” per carrier’s truck from Jayhawk Boulevard on the Kansas University campus early that morning, and while traveling at least 78 mph — maybe faster — eventually rammed into the back of a car on U.S. Highway 24-59, killing Freeman and injuring three of his friends. The Nebraska men were headed back to Lincoln after attending a concert in Lawrence.

“This is one of the worst cases that we see in our business, when you have an incident like this that just suddenly and inexplicably cuts short the life of a young man and forever changes the life of three other young men and their families,” Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said. “It’s just shocking how fragile life can be and how a bad decision by one person can affect a lot of people.”

Possible sentences Harrison, who was in Lawrence that night visiting his brother, faces prison time, but his defense attorney Jason Billam told District Judge Sally Pokorny he planned to argue for probation during the Aug. 9 sentencing.

At the time of his arrest, Harrison was serving as an airman in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Little Rock, Ark., but Branson and Billam said Friday he had been discharged.

Harrison, who has been free on bond for several weeks, said little during the plea hearing except for “yes, ma’am” and “no, ma’am” when answering Pokorny’s questions.

Pokorny told him he faces anywhere from 38 months to

— Paul Freeman, whose son Cameron was killed by Harrison in a drunken driving accident 14 years in prison on the DUI manslaughter conviction, depending on his criminal history, which attorneys expect to be minimal. He also faces a minimum 31 months on one aggravated battery count and a minimum seven months each on two other aggravated battery charges.

Harrison was also convicted of leaving the scene of a fatality accident, failing to give notice of a fatality accident, following a vehicle too closely, criminal deprivation of property, and failing to report damage to property for striking a gate on the KU campus.

Pokorny will also decide whether to run the sentences consecutively or concurrently.

“We don’t hate Zachary Harrison,” Paul Freeman said. “We do think he should pay what’s due — the maximum, I guess. He will walk away someday. He will have kids. He will have a family.

Not that we hate Zachary Harrison. We just want him to pay the price.”

Crash details After the no-contest pleas, Benefiel read in court details of the prosecution’s case — most of which had already been made public by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

The driver of the Mazda 626 Freeman was traveling in, Casey Kettler, told officers he was headed north on the highway at 55 mph with the cruise control on around 3:30 that morning. He saw a pickup truck approach from behind at a high rate of speed.

“The next thing he remembered was waking up in a ditch,” Benefiel said.

The Mazda traveled about 480 feet upon impact with the Toyota Tundra pickup truck Harrison had taken. The newspaper carrier had left the truck running in front of Watson Library at KU. A Toyota employee later inspected the “black box” that recorded the truck’s use 5 seconds before the crash. “(It) was traveling at 78 mph with 100 percent of the throttle, and there was not any brake prior to the crash,” said Benefiel, who also noted the equipment wasn’t able to record speed faster than 78, meaning the exact speed of the truck was unknown.

Officers later arrested Harrison north of Lawrence when he eventually stopped the truck.

Kettler had an injured left eye that eventually required plastic surgery. Two other men in the Mazda, Michael Larsen and Ferndando Pages, also suffered injuries. Pages had a liver laceration and head injury.

The Freeman and Kettler families declined to comment after the plea hearing about any possible civil legal action in connection with the crash.

‘The Cameron Effect’ The Freemans now want the case to bring awareness to the dangers of drunken driving. They carry around fliers that direct people to the website cameroneffect.com, a movement that urges people to perform seven acts of kindness or thoughts of compassion a day. They originally spread the idea on Dec. 7, 2010, which would have been Cameron’s 22nd birthday.

“Our hope is that there would be something positive to come out of it, and that there would be change, an absolute change,” Shelley Freeman said.

“And that this culture of alcoholism, this culture of drinking alcohol and the acceptability of driving is just not tolerated, not accepted, especially by people who do it.”

Paul Freeman said the crash and Cameron’s death spread out and devastated family and friends like a “mushroom cloud” and that he hoped future penalties could be more severe for drunken drivers.

“It happens over and over again,” Shelley Freeman said.

“If there’s any war that we need, it should be the war against drunk driving.”

Pets, excluding service dogs, are not allowed inside the YSC complex, said Megan Gilliland, the city’s communications manager.

“Complex supervisors are trained to enforce this rule, and if the public sees a dog that staff has not already noticed, contact the staff at the concession stand or report it directly to a supervisor,” she said.

In Lawrence, Gilliland said, pet owners are required to clean up pet excrement on public or private areas.

Asked on Massachusetts Street

Mike Horbath, psychology major, Lawrence “About 15 years ago. I don’t really remember the events but there was a wasp nest display. That was pretty cool.”

During their meeting Tuesday evening, Lawrence city commissioners will discuss the city’s enforcement of occupancy limits: No more than three unrelated people may live in a home in a singlefamily zoning district, and no more than four unrelated people may live in a single residence in a multidwelling zoning district. City staffers

BACKGROUND The city started the rental registration program to address complaints about single-family homes being rented to large numbers of tenants, particularly in neighborhoods near Kansas University. Violations are investigated on a complaint basis.

From 2005 through 2010, the city investigated 151 such cases, and 19 addresses were

investigated more than once.

Of the 151 cases, 33 involved eight property owners, an indication of repeat offenders straining the city’s enforcement resources, the city says.

Overall, the city says, only about 1 percent of single-family homes registered as rentals are deemed in violation of occupancy limits.

• Approve minutes from boards and commissions.

• Approve claims.

• Bid and purchase items: a. Approve a $28,094.29 change order for the Department of Public Works’ 2009 Sidewalk Gap Program — work to include a KU lighted pathway project that had not been included in the original project scope and budget developed in 2010.. b. Award a $1,423,333 bid to R.D. Johnson Excavating for watermain replacements: Kentucky Street, from 12th to 19th streets; and Ninth Street, from Tennessee to Vermont streets, including alternatives.

• Adopt ordinances on final reading to: a. Amend Chapters 4 and 6 of the City Code regarding alcohol licenses, to incorporate state law changes requiring biennial licensing. b. Amend the maximum amount of compensation that a Judge Pro Tempore for Municipal Court may receive, from $50 per day to $250 per day. c. Repeal higher fines and court costs for seat belt violations, to comply with a change in state law. d. Rezone 0.3 acres from IG (General Industrial) to RS5 (SingleDwelling Residential) at 525 and 527 N. Seventh St. e. Approve a text amendment for

the City of Lawrence Land Development Code, to change “Detention” from a use permitted by right in the IG (General Industrial) District to one permitted with Special Use approval.

• Initiate a text amendment for various sections of the City of Lawrence Land Development Code to review parking standards related to “Congregate Living” and “MultiDwelling Structure” uses.

• Approve installation of speed cushions on 11th Street and West Campus Road, with the city for the work up front and then get reimbursed by Kansas University.

Regular agenda

• Receive a staff report regarding public harvesting of fruit trees on city property.

• Discuss items raised during a Downtown Listening Session conducted May 19: Retail vacancies and retail growth management; retail/bar mix; event coordination with Convention and Visitors Bureau and KU; and support for arts downtown.

• Receive a staff memo regarding occupancy for unrelated persons in single-family and multifamily residential districts.

• Receive a list of potential audit topics from the city auditor.

• A Douglas County judge Friday sentenced a 23-year-old Lawrence woman to serve 32 months in prison for sexually abusing a 14-year-old child.

District Judge Peggy Kittel sentenced Leeanna R. Cheek to concurrently serve 32-month sentences on one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and indecent liberties with a child.

Check had pleaded guilty to the two counts in January.

According to Douglas County District Attorney Charles

Branson’s office, Lawrence police detectives began investigating the case in February 2010 after they were contacted by the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services about possible sexual abuse of the 14-year-old child.

Prosecutors then filed charges after they determined Cheek was involved in a sexual relationship with the child while living with the victim and her mother. Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, prosecuted the case.

Friday morning in the Topeka area, she said.

Jeanette Atkinson, an owner of Midwest Auto Diagnostics and Repair, 2414 Ponderosa Drive, became frustrated when she saw police officers in the area again Friday morning. The shop was broken into overnight May 20, and her debit card was stolen from her desk. She said the thieves used her card to purchase gas for at least three vehicles that night at a gas station in Topeka.

According to Lawrence police crime data the JournalWorld tracks, at least two other businesses were burglarized the same night May 20.

Atkinson said her company and others were re-examining security measures in the

area, including possibly installing security cameras.

The businesses are away from 23rd Street, so there’s less traffic in the area at night, which could make it a target.

“It’s kind of dark, but there are apartments right behind that area,” Atkinson said.

“The only traff ic goes through on Ponderosa if people are coming through to go to the apartments.”

Lawrence Police Department this month is encouraging people to lock doors at home, in the office or their vehicles to try to prevent burglaries. Police also encourage businesses to install security cameras.

Pilot to be honored for aviation career ONLINE: To read about Nelson Krueger piloting Shepherd One for Pope John Paul II, visit LJWorld.com

Nelson Krueger of Lawrence will join a select club of aviators today when he is inducted into the International Forest of Friendship.

Having his name added to a granite plaque in the memorial park in Atchison, the hometown of Amelia Earhart, crowns Krueger’s long career as a pilot, engineer and flight instructor. Nearby will be the names of Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, Kansan astronaut Ronald Evans and Scott Crossfield, a test pilot and Krueger’s boyhood hero.

“I can’t even imagine being in such company,” he said.

A native of Natoma, Krueger, 63, was the youngest pilot for Trans World Airlines at age 21. He later trained TWA’s first female pilots, one

of the reasons why the Kansas City and Topeka chapters of The NinetyNines, an organization for female pilots, nomi- Krueger nated him for induction into the IFOF. The memorial was established in 1976 by the city of Atchison, The Ninety-Nines and the Kansas University Forestry Extension.

“It means so much to me to be recognized by other pilots,” Krueger said. “It’s certainly the highest aviat i o n d i s t i n c t i o n I eve r intend to achieve. I never

expected this.”

He has been a flight instructor at the Lawrence Municipal Airport since 1967, training hundreds of students.

He says his biggest thrill came in 1979 when he copiloted Shepherd One, the plane that took Pope John Paul II on his first trip across the United States.

Later, Krueger helped fly troops to Iraq during the Gulf War for the Civil Reserve Air Fleet. He also served as an aide to U.S. Sen. Bob Dole and was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to be a labor representative for 11 states.

U.N. resolution backs gay rights for first time ever

By Frank Jordans Associated Press Writer

G E N E V A — The United Nations endorsed the rights of gay, lesbian and transgender people for the first time ever Friday, passing a resolution hailed as historic by the U.S. and other backers and decried by some African and Muslim countries.

The declaration was cautiously worded, expressing “grave concern” about abuses because of sexual orientation and commissioning a global report on discrimination against gays.

But activists called it an important shift on an issue that has divided the global body for decades, and they credited the Obama administration’s push for gay rights at home and abroad.

“This represents a historic moment to highlight the human rights abuses and violations that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face around the world based solely on who they are and whom they love,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a statement.

Following tense negotiations, members of the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council narrowly voted in favor of the declaration put forward by South Africa, with 23 votes in favor and 19 against.

Backers included the U.S., the European Union, Brazil and other Latin American countries. Those against included Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Pakistan.

China, Burkina Faso and Zambia abstained, Kyrgyzstan didn’t vote and Libya was suspended from the rights body earlier.

The resolution expressed “grave concern at acts of violence and discrimination, in all regions of the world, com-

DEMONSTRATORS ATTEND THE EUROPRIDE GAY RIGHTS MARCH June 11 in Rome. The U.N.’s main human rights forum has condemned for the first time discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The 47-member Human Rights Council voted 23 in favor and 19 against, with 3 abstentions, for the resolution put forward Friday by South Africa. mitted against individuals because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.”

More important, activists said, it also established a formal U.N. process to document human rights abuses against gays, including discriminatory laws and acts of violence. According to Amnesty International, consensual same-sex relations are illegal in 76 countries worldwide, while harassment and discrimination are common in many more.

“Today’s resolution breaks the silence that has been maintained for far too long,” said John Fisher of the gay rights advocacy group ARC International.

The White House in a statement strongly backed the declaration.

“This marks a significant milestone in the long struggle for equality, and the beginning of a universal recognition that (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) persons are endowed with the same inalienable rights — and entitled to the same protections — as all human beings.”

The resolution calls for a panel discussion next spring with “constructive, informed and transparent dialogue on the issue of discriminatory laws and practices and acts of violence against” gays, lesbians and transgender people.

The prospect of having their laws scrutinized in this way went too far for many of the council’s 47-member states.

“We are seriously concerned at the attempt to introduce to the United Nations some notions that have no legal foundation,” said Zamir Akram, Pakistan’s envoy to the U.N. in Geneva, speaking on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.

Nigeria claimed the proposal went against the wishes of most Africans. A diplomat from the northwest African state of Mauritania called the resolution “an attempt to replace the natural rights of a human being with an unnatural right.”

Boris Dittrich of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights program at Human Rights Watch said it was important for the U.S. and Western Europe to persuade South Africa to take the lead on the resolution so that other non-Western countries would be less able to claim the West was imposing its values.

At the same time, he noted that the U.N. has no enforcement mechanism to back up the resolution. “It’s up to civil society to name and shame those governments that continue abuses,” Dittrich said.

Notable ● Sony movies were pulled from Netflix Inc.’s online streaming service Friday because of what Netflix said is a “temporary contract issue” between Sony Corp. and its pay TV distributor, Starz.

Netflix notified its members in a blog post on Friday, when movies such as “Easy A” and “Grown Ups” stopped being available on its “Watch Instantly” service. They are still available to be rented as DVDs through the mail.

Starz said in a statement that “all parties are working diligently to resolve the issue.”

A person familiar with the matter said Netflix’s explosive subscriber growth triggered a clause in Sony’s agreement with Starz that resulted in the stoppage. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

Put a cork in Internet bubble talk — for now

S AN F R A N C I S C O (AP ) — It’s starting to feel like a 1999 flashback. Internet companies — some of them profitable, some not — sense a golden opportunity and are lining up to go public this year.

But here’s something to keep in mind as the latest case of Internet fever grips Wall Street: It’s still nowhere close to the giddy days of the dotcom boom, when investors bought stocks as impulsively as lottery tickets. Technology stocks today are the cheapest in more than nine years, at least judging by one benchmark for appraising companies.

This year could yield the most initial public offerings of technology stocks since 2000. But the venture capitalists who bankroll high-tech startups aren’t pouring money into the Internet like they once did. And even rapidly growing Internet companies LinkedIn Corp. and Pandora Media Inc. have lost some of their luster after dazzling investors when they went public in recent weeks.

All those factors signal that cooler heads are prevailing, especially with the global economy on shaky ground.

So far this year, 28 of the 74 IPOs completed in the U.S. have been by technology companies, according to IPO investment advisory firm Renaissance Capital. If, as expected, another 31 tech IPOs are completed by the end this year, it will be the most from the sector since 2000.

The growing enthusiasm for Internet services reflects how far the Internet has come since the dot-com boom. An estimated 2 billion people worldwide have Web access now, about eight times as many as in 2000. High-speed Internet connections have become common, turning the Web into an entertainment center as well as an information hub. And mobile devices have made it possible to stay connected from almost anywhere at any time.

“I don’t see a bubble,” venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, best known as founder of the pioneering Web browser Netscape, told The Associated Press in March. Andreessen has investments scattered all over the Internet, mostly in companies that are steadily increasing their revenue.

Some of them are even profitable, virtually unheard of during the late 1990s. That’s why he thinks it’s logical for more money to be flowing into one of the most promising parts of the U.S. economy.

“I think people are confusing success with a bubble,” Andreessen said. “Maybe stuff is just working.”

But well-established technology companies, including many that helped build the Internet into what it is today, have fallen out of favor. To gauge just how far, consider the price-to-earnings, or P/E, ratio of technology stocks in the bellwether Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

Officials: Nebraska nuke UP TO plant is safe from flood 48 Months Financing Available on iComfort or Tempur-pedic Mattress Sets.

By Josh Funk Associated Press Writer

OMAHA, NEB. — The pictures of a Nebraska nuclear power plant were startling: Floodwaters from the swollen Missouri River had risen nearly to the reactor building, with the potential to climb even higher.

Coming only a few months after Japan’s nuclear disaster, the Associated Press images alarmed many people who saw them earlier this week.

But nuclear regulators and the utility that runs the Fort Calhoun reactor say there is little cause for immediate concern.

The plant, encircled by a giant rubber barrier against the water, has been shut down since April. The Omaha Public Power District says the complex will not be reactivated until the flooding subsides.

And unlike Japan’s infamous Fukushima Dai-ichi facility, the entire plant in Nebraska still has full electrical power for safety systems, including those used to cool radioactive waste. It also has at least nine backup power sources.

The Fort Calhoun complex “is safe and it will continue to be safe throughout this flooding situation,” said Dave Bannister, chief nuclear officer for the power district.

A spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reinforced that view. “We think they’ve done everything that they need to do to respond to the current conditions,” Victor Dricks said.

Flooding remains a concern all along the river because of the massive amounts of water released by the Army Corps of Engineers.

The river is expected to rise as much as 5 to 7 feet above flood stage in much of Nebraska and Iowa and as much as 10 feet over flood stage in parts of Missouri.

THE FORT CALHOUN NUCLEAR POWER STATION in Fort Calhoun, Neb., currently shut down for refueling, is surrounded Tuesday by flood waters from the Missouri River.

The corps expects the river to remain high at least into August because of heavy spring rains in the upper Plains and substantial Rocky Mountain snowpack melting into the river basin.

After fielding many worried questions about the plant, utility officials held a news conference Friday to reassure the public.

“We understand the deep responsibility we have in operating a nuclear power plant,” CEO Gary Gates said.

Edwin Lyman, a physicist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, said plants at risk from floodwaters must ensure their electrical supply and coolant pumps are protected.

“There’s no question that flooding can be an extremely serious concern,” Lyman said.

The pumps are a key piece of safety equipment because if pumping systems fail for several days and are not fixed, cooling water could boil away and eventually cause radioactive releases.

Workers at the facility 20 miles north of Omaha are still able to get inside the building without getting wet by using

walkways that rise above the water.

The river has risen 1.5 feet higher than Fort Calhoun’s 1,004-foot elevation above sea level, but the water is being held back by a series of protective barriers, including an 8-foot rubber wall outside the reactor building.

Fort Calhoun can be fortified to handle water up to 1,014 feet above sea level, Bannister said.

In another contrast to the March 11 tsunami in Japan, the Missouri River flooding has been predicted for weeks, so there was plenty of time to prepare. But even if the river had risen in a flash flood, Fort Calhoun’s reactor building is designed to handle water up to 1,007 feet above sea level before any additional floodgates or barriers are added.

The rubber barrier surrounding the plant is designed primarily to protect external equipment, not the reactor itself, which Banister said is encased in a watertight room.

The building housing the reactor has been fortified with steel plates on the outside and a series of internal barriers.

FLAMES ARE SEEN OVER HOMES in Sierra Vista, Ariz., on Thursday. The elements are coming together to create dangerous fire conditions in southern and southeastern Arizona. The biggest wildfire in state history is closing in on a half million acres burned.

*W.A.C. See store for details.

Wildfires prompt more evacuations ALBUQUERQUE , N.M. (AP) — The wind kicked up as predicted Friday and temperatures soared around the West as firefighters toiled to keep more homes, dry forests and stretches of high desert from being consumed by several wildfires burning throughout the Southwest.

Along the New MexicoColorado border, the wind got stronger as the afternoon progressed, testing fire lines that had been cleared through the rugged wooded area by bulldozers. Flags at the incident command post were whipping.

Fire off icials said the water-dropping helicopters and air tankers were still able to help ground crews.

“It’s going to be a challenge for our firefighters along the northern and eastern sides of the fire,” said fire information officer Tim Evans. “Spotting is likely to occur in those areas as the winds push the fire toward the north and east.”

In southern Arizona, the wind also helped fan the flames of two wildfires that had charred nearly 225,000 acres. One of the fires near Sierra Vista continued to push down a canyon Friday afternoon, forcing more residents from their homes and putting others on notice that they might have to leave.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer flew over the area in Cochise County that was blackened by the Monument and Horseshoe II fires. She declared an emergency Friday, freeing up

state funds to help with the firefighting efforts.

Fire managers were initially concerned that the wind would be strong enough to ground aircraft that have been dropping water and fire-suppression chemicals on the fire near Sierra Vista. That hadn’t happened by mid-afternoon, meaning crews were able to make more progress against

the fire, said fire information officer Bill Paxton.

The blaze has burned 18,580 acres, or 29 square miles, and containment was 15 percent. It has destroyed at least 40 homes as well as other structures.

Investigators said the fire was human-caused, but they have not determined who started it.

Catering to unions is hurting U.S. economy WASHINGTON — “Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected,” observed President Obama this week, enjoying a nice chuckle about the unhappy fate of his near-$1 trillion stimulus. To be sure, Obama has also been promoting a less amusing remedy for anemic growth and high unemployment: exports. In this year’s State of the Union address, he proclaimed a national goal of doubling exports by 2014.

One obvious way to increase exports is through free-trade agreements. But unions don’t like them. No surprise then that for two years Obama has been sitting on three freetrade agreements — with Colombia, Panama and South Korea — already negotiated by his predecessor.

Under the pressure of dire economic conditions and of the consequences of stiffing three valued allies, Obama appeared ready to relent — only to put up a last-minute roadblock. He’s demanding an expansion of Trade Adjustment Assistance — taxpayer money (beyond unemployment compensation) given to workers displaced by foreign competition, something denied to Americans rendered unemployed by domestic competition. It’s an idea of dubious fairness but nicely designed to hold up ratification, while placing blame on Republican heartlessness rather than on political sabotage by Democrats beholden to unions for the millions they pour into Democratic coffers. (A deal reportedly may be near. But the years of delay have been costly.)

Nothing new here. In 2009, Obama

One obvious way to “increase exports is through free-trade agreements. But unions don’t like them.”

pushed through a federally run, questionably legal, bankruptcy for the auto companies that robbed first-in-line creditors in order to bail out the United Auto Workers. Elsewhere, Delta Air Lines workers have voted four times to reject unionization. A federal agency, naturally, is investigating and, notes economist Irwin Stelzer, can order still another election in the hope that it yields the answer Obama’s campaign team wants.

But Democratic fealty to unions does not stop there. Boeing has just completed a production facility in South Carolina for its new 787 Dreamliner. The National Labor Relations Board, stacked with Democrats — including one former union lawyer considered so partisan that he required a recess appointment after the Senate refused to

votes, tried to block it by every extraparliamentary maneuver short of arson. State Senate Democrats fled Wisconsin to prevent a quorum.

Demonstrators filled the statehouse for days and nights on end. And when the bill finally passed nonetheless, Dane County’s Democratic district attorney went to court to have it thrown out on procedural grounds.

They found a pliant judge to invalidate the law. A famous victory, but short-lived. On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned the ruling, upbraiding the judge for having “usurped the legislative power which the Wisconsin Constitution grants exclusively to the Legislature.”

The law is reinstated.

Instructive cases all, demonstrating how those who lose popular support — Democrats at the polls, unions in their declining membership — can subvert and circumvent the popular will by judicial usurpation (Wisconsin) or administrative fiat (Boeing).

The Wisconsin maneuver ultimately failed, as likely will the assault on Boeing. In the interim, however, there is collateral damage — to U.S. exports, to the larger economy, to bankruptcy law, to free trade, to a constitutional system wherein the legislatures make the laws, rather than willful judges and partisan regulators.

But what are those when there are unions to appease and elections to win?

confirm him — is trying to get the plant declared illegal. Why? Because by choosing right-to-work South Carolina, Boeing is accused of retaliating against its unionized Washington state workers for previous strikes.

In fact, Boeing has increased unionized employment by more than 2,000 at its Puget Sound plant. Moreover, the idea that a company in a unionized state can thus be prohibited from expanding into right-to-work states by a partisan regulatory body is quite insane. It violates the fundamental principle in a free-market economy that companies can move and build in response to market conditions, rather than administrative fiat. It jeopardizes the economic recovery, not only targeting America’s single largest exporter in its attempt to compete with Airbus for a huge global market, but also threatening any other company that might think of expanding in any way displeasing to unions and their NLRB patrons.

Obama has been utterly silent in the Boeing affair. Which is understood by all as tacit approval. He’s facing reelection next year. And Democrats need unions.

Of course, unions need Democrats — who deliver quite faithfully. In last year’s nationwide “shellacking” of Democrats, for example, Wisconsin gave Republicans control of both legislative chambers and elected a Republican governor who made clear his intention to rein in public-sector union power.

When the Republicans tried to do as promised, Democrats, lacking the

A few questions: Is there a shortage of eating establishments in Lawrence?

Does the proposed restaurant offer much in the way of high end employment, or does it provide some employment for the transient college population that cycle through the watering holes in town? Are current businesses, including current Mediterranean restaurants, going to be required to subsidize the abatement through increased property taxes (whether paid to city or landlord)?

Lawrence has sufficient restaurants including some that serve Mediterranean fare. Hardly a justification for a tax abatement.

War is a waste To the editor: Why does our president persist in consulting the “generals in the field” when he is trying to determine how we should conduct this war in Afghanistan? It’s like asking my 3year-old granddaughter if she wants an ice cream cone. It’s bad enough that he asks, but even worse that he takes their suggestions and we, the taxpay-

nois, I became aware we must face this issue aggressively.

As a minister I have never favored such action. It is contrary to the Gospel of Christ and a mandate of the Old Testament. How we as a culture interpret “Thou shalt not kill” as OK is beyond my understanding. As a therapist I am deeply aware that such action is destructive to families and communities.

On the other hand, we regularly execute innocent persons in this act; 138 persons who have spent years on death row have been exonerated from death row in recent years. That is reason enough to never let it happen again. How many more would be alive today if we had modern science in past years that would save them? Kansas must take all this seriously.

Accurate and fair news reporting.

No mixing of editorial opinion with reporting of the news. ● Safeguarding the rights of all citizens regardless of race, creed or economic stature. ● Sympathy and understanding for all who are disadvantaged or oppressed. ● Exposure of any dishonesty in public affairs. ● Support of projects that make our community a better place to live. ●

ers, pay the trillions to stay mired in this impossible conflict.

If it was a real war, and if it was possible to win, then he should consult the generals in the field, but anyone in their right mind knows that Afghanistan is not a nation and we are not fighting an army. We are fighting a way of life that is stuck in the 17th century, and the people of that nation will need to decide to rejoin the modern world or stay where they are.

As long as conservative Muslims control any nation, including Pakistan, we will not change their culture or stop their hate. When a community allows a Taliban member to gouge the eyes out of a 6-year-old girl because she is reading a book, you know that community has no soul, and no integrity and all of the American troops and all of the American dollars are not going to change that reality.

I do believe that the thinking, intelligent people in Pakistan and Afghanistan are beginning to realize that conservative, theocratic Muslim controls must be overcome, but THEY need to fight that fight and sacrifice their own lives if they honestly want any form of democratic freedom. We can’t do it for them, and they don’t want us to do it for them.

BAXTER SPRINGS (AP) — Baxter Springs Mayor Jenifer Bingham says three of the city’s firefighters have been fired and the chief put on administrative leave over alleged looting in Joplin the night of the May 22 tornado.

In a statement issued Thursday, Bingham did not identify the firefighters. But she said the dismissals concerned their conduct after the tornado that devastated Joplin and Duquesne. She said she could not further discuss the case because of liability concerns.

The Joplin Globe reports that all information related to the firefighters’ conduct was forwarded to the Joplin Police Department.

The Globe reported that Chief Les Page confirmed that he has been put on administrative leave but declined to say why.

Joplin police Lt. Mike Hobson says the department’s investigation into the firefighters’ actions is just starting.

Bone ThugsN-Harmony They may be short a couple of the original members, but that’s not going to slow Bone Thugs-N-Harmony down, as the leaner hip-hop act comes to The Granada, 1020 Mass., tonight along with locals Steddy P & GTrain and Lonely Hearts Club.

Layzie, Bizzy and Krayzie are touring support of their 2010 album “Uni-5: The World’s Enemy” as well as an unnamed album they plan on releasing in the near future. Fans of the band know what to expect from a Bone Thugs show — their signature beats and delivery are still on display and if video of the group performing as a trio is any indication, they have no problem holding a crowd or doing right by their old standbys as well as their new material. If Bone Thugs-N-Harmony isn’t your thing, fret not.

Kansas City, Mo., artist Steddy P will also be on display. P’s an up-and-comer who boasts some outstanding beats and a solid delivery that handles his lyrics capably.

Swingman transfer Young joins Jayhawks

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

‘DP, AJ’ clever concept With the start of football season still three months away, Kansas University seniors Daymond Patterson and AJ Steward dreamed up an idea to keep them busy and entertain their friends and fans at the same time.

But not everybody found the idea amusing.

Earlier this week, Patterson and Steward revealed the debut of their Internet reality show “DP and AJ Take On KU.” First up was a penalty-kick shootout against two members of KU’s women’s soccer team.

At first, the six-minute video created a buzz among KU fans, those lauding its entertainment value and laughing their butts off at the soccer, um, skills of the two football players.

Thanks to some timely shots and clutch goaltending, Patterson and Steward won the challenge by a goal. While they talked and laughed throughout the challenge, they saved the best for last. With his shirt pulled up over his head, Steward raced down the field in celebration. One problem: He ran head-first into one of the video cameras and sliced open his forehead.

The freak accident only added to the video’s popularity, and by midday Thursday, the clip had gone viral — more than 5,000 views and counting — and made its way to ESPN, where analyst Mark May and “College Football Live” host Erin Andrews showed part of the video.

Unfortunately, May couldn’t stop there. Instead of crediting Patterson and Steward for making it onto the network for something other than a scandal, May felt it necessary to take a shot at KU and question why coach Turner Gill would let them do this in the first place.

He then questioned why the two Jayhawks were wasting their time with women’s soccer.

“I’d say, ‘Act like you’ve been there,’” May said on the air. “But they were 3-9 last year, what do you expect? Not only that, why don’t you take on the men’s basketball team. Those guys are 63, 230-250. They’re going against girls that are, like, 5-8, 160.

That’s a mismatch. It’s not fair.”

Close. Steward’s 6-3, 233, but Patterson stands just 5-9, 173.

But that’s not really the point.

Clearly, by taking the serious approach to all this, May missed the point entirely. It would’ve been nice if he could’ve seen it for what it was. Offseason fun.

College. A couple of amateur athletes making headlines for the right reason.

Patterson and Steward responded to May’s criticism with a mock news conference in which they challenged May to a debate in any sport he’d like.

On Friday’s episode of “College Football Live,” May did not back down from his arrogant tone. Instead, he rattled off some accolades from his playing days, decades ago, as if that were supposed to intimidate the Jayhawks. Then he accepted the challenge.

Not surprisingly, Patterson and Steward are in.

“Tell him we are 100% down,” Steward posted on Twitter.

“We ready,” Patterson wrote.

So the stage is set. Patterson and Steward will debate May in Bristol, Conn., sometime before fall camp.

May might have the professional polish, but my money’s on the guys who don’t take themselves too seriously.

In the meantime, rumor has it that the next episode of “DP and AJ Take On KU” will feature the men’s basketball team.

Oh boy.

A possible participant in the 2012 Olympic Games on Friday joined Kansas University’s basketball team.

Kevin Young — a 6-foot-8, 215pound shooting guard/small forward who played two years at Loyola Marymount University before working as a volunteer assistant coach at Barstow Community College during the 201011 school year — in July will try

out for Puerto Rico’s Olympic squad.

“I am pretty confident I can make the team,” Young told the Journal-World on Friday afternoon after signing a financial-aid agreement with KU. In July of 2009, Young, whose mom is Puerto Rican, led Puerto Rico to a 5-4 record at the Under 19 world championships in New Zealand.

In averaging 7.7 points and 5.0 rebounds, he exhibited some of the tools necessary to play Big 12

Conference as well as international ball.

“I think it’s fun to just run up and down the court. I like to please the crowd with dunks and all that good stuff — blocks and steals,” said Young, who averaged 10.7 points and 5.6 rebounds as a sophomore at Loyola Marymount after breaking LMU’s school freshman marks for rebounds, steals and blocks.

“I try to play with high energy all the time,” added Young, who had 19 rebounds in a game his

freshman year against New Mexico State.

Until this week, it was assumed former Perris (Calif.)

High standout Young would be resuming his playing career at San Diego State. He signed a financial-aid agreement with Steve Fisher’s Aztec program last November. Now attending summer school classes at KU, Young is on a financial-aid agreement here.

THIS IS ABOUT THE ONLY VIEW THE U.S. OPEN FIELD has had of Rory McIlroy. On Friday in Bethesda, Md., McIlroy fired a 5-under for a commanding six-stroke lead at the halfway point.

McIlroy puts on show, leads by 6

By Doug Ferguson Associated Press Golf Writer

BETHESDA, MD. — In one of those can’t-miss moments in sports, thousands of fans covered every inch of space on the hill behind the 10th green at Congressional.

They spilled onto the clubhouse veranda, pressed their faces against the windows and lined up against the balcony railing to watch Rory McIlroy deliver a performance never before seen in the U.S. Open.

“It was Tiger Woods of 11 years ago,” Ian Poulter said.

In some respects, it was even better.

McIlroy, the sympathetic figure at the Masters, was as close to perfect as golf allows Friday during a stunning assault on the record

book. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland became the first player in the 111-year history of the U.S. Open to reach 13-under par, and despite a double bogey into the water on the final hole, his 5under 66 was enough set the 36hole scoring record at 131.

He had a six-shot lead over for-

mer PGA champion Y.E. Yang (69), matching the U.S. Open record set by Woods in 2000 at Pebble Beach for the largest margin at the halfway point.

McIlroy went 17 holes without missing a green. He went 35 holes without making a bogey.

“It’s very near the best I can play,” he said.

Not since Woods destroyed his competition at Pebble Beach in 2000 for a record 15-shot victory has anyone made golf look this easy, at least for two rounds.

As if playing under complete control were not enough, McIlroy hit a wedge from 114 yards some 15 feet behind the flag on No. 8, then watched it roll down a slope and into the cup for eagle. The only time he came close to making bogey was on the par-4 11th, when

he blasted out of a bunker to eight feet and made the putt.

He tied the U.S. Open record of 12 under — previously held by Woods in 2000 and Gil Morgan in 1992, both at Pebble Beach — on the par-5 16th with a 4-iron from 223 yards that settled eight feet from the cup.

“I told him, ‘I don’t think you’ll see a better golf shot,”’ his caddie, J.P. Fitzgerald, said.

Then came the 17th, when McIlroy hit 7-iron from 175 yards that covered the flag, barely cleared the bunker and left him 15 feet below the hole for yet another birdie to go to 13 under.

That number just isn’t seen on leaderboards at the U.S. Open.

“It’s crazy, isn’t it?” Steve Stricker.

Royals keep Cardinals reeling ————

KANSAS CITY’S CHRIS GETZ, LEFT, SAFELY AVOIDS THE TAG from St. Louis catcher Tony Cruz in the Royals’ 5-4 victory Friday in St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar is known for his fielding. Lately, he has been doing plenty of damage with his bat.

Against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night, Escobar had two hits with a run scored in Kansas City’s 5-4 victory. He also was part of the key play of the game: His hard groundball with two outs in the eighth inning eluded Albert Pujols and allowed Mike Moustakas to score the go-ahead run.

Pujols, a Gold Glover, was

given an error on the play.

Kansas City manager Ned Yost thought ROYALS VS. Escobar, who is CARDINALS 14-for-24 (.583) over his last When: 6:15 tonight seven games with eight runs Where: St. Louis scored, could Pitchers: Mazzaro have been (1-1) vs. Westbrook credited with a (6-4) hit.

TV: FSKC (cable “I don’t channels 36, 236) know how that’s ruled an error,” Yost said.

“That’s a pretty tough hop, a pretty tough ball.”

It’s the kind of play that has been hurting Cardinals, who have lost seven straight.

“The ball was hit pretty good and it just came up on me,” Pujols said. “That’s the way it goes. It’s a play you probably make 99 out of 100 times. If we would have been on a winning streak, I don’t think a crazy thing like that would happen.”

McCourt faces obstacles to retain Dodgers L OS A NGELES (AP ) — To retain ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers, owner Frank McCourt must overcome two formidable obstacles laid out in a binding settlement he and his ex-wife Jamie reached Friday in their contentious divorce.

Frank McCourt must f irst receive Major League Baseball’s approval of a 17-year television contract with Fox reported to be worth up to $3 billion. Under the settlement, McCourt would receive $385 million upfront, most of which would be used for Dodger-related expenses.

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has given no indication if he would approve the deal, but McCourt said MLB off icials have asked him to meet select criteria.

“Baseball has been very clear,” McCourt said outside court.

“They wanted to McCourt see this divorce settled, and all this white noise gone, or they wanted Jamie’s consent for the Fox transaction or they

B E T H E S D A , M D . — Sometimes, history comes and goes so fast you miss it.

But when you have a 22-year-old kid with curly hair tucked under his cap and a smile that lights up a room, turning a U.S. Open golf course into a pitch and putt, you are ready to be a witness.

You could see him in the distance, 175 yards away, standing with a club in his hands, waiting for the other guys to hit first because their drives hadn’t been as long as his. One of the other guys was Phil Mickelson, already a legend. The other was Dustin Johnson, who has a chance to become one if his brain ever gets synchronized with his swing.

The massive crowds held back from the fairways and greens by ropes were swarming to the 17th hole as if somebody were giving away free putters. They knew. Rory McIlroy was beating up a golf course designed to be the perpetrator, not the victim.

McIlroy had just birdied No. 16, and were he to make another birdie, he would become the first person ever to go 13 under par at any point in any U.S. Open.

This is the 111th.

McIlroy hit it just over a trap, and right into that desirable area. It stopped 15 feet away, and after Mickelson and Johnson each hit nice lag putts to set up their pars, McIlroy stood over his putt.

McIlroy rolled it dead center. There it was, 111 years of the best players in the world, attempting to navigate the terrors of a U.S. Open course, and this was the first time anybody had done it that well.

Of course, life and the U.S. Open go on.

McIlroy had one more hole, hit his second shot into the water and finished with a six.

That meant the 13-under stayed on the board for perhaps 20 minutes. He still managed to set the record for best 36-hole score at 65-66 — 131.

But the little slip on No. 18, and his history, meant that all the doubts remain about his ability to keep this going.

He has led majors before, most recently going into the final round of this year’s Masters. On Sunday, he shot 80. He started last year’s British Open at St. Andrews with a 63 and quickly followed with an 80.

“I know, probably more than anyone else,” he said, “what can happen.”

He also said he has worked on it, even come up with a new approach.

“I did a piece after Augusta,” he said, “where I said I needed to be a little more cocky, a little more arrogant on the golf course, and think a little more about myself ... just on the golf course.”

After last year’s U.S. Open, where McIlroy missed the cut and his Northern Ireland buddy, Graeme McDowell, won, he was quoted extensively about how happy he was for McDowell. Same thing when he faced up to the media after his implosion at Augusta, when he said he was happy for winner Charl Schwartzel.

“Yeah, I’d like to be happy for myself,” he said Friday.

McIlroy will start today with a six-shot lead, tied for best ever.

McIlroy has already made history of one kind. Now he needs to avoid the other, the kind that would label him forever a poster boy for sports train wrecks.

“There are now no impediments, and if the TV deal isn’t approved, it’s for other reasons than what (MLB) has stated before,” said Los Angeles family law attorney Lisa Helfend Meyer, who is not involved in the McCourts’ case. The decision to reject the deal would then be “personal” on MLB’s behalf and serves as a springboard for Frank McCourt to sue the league, she added.

In addition to the TV deal, the settlement called for a one-day “characterization” trial Aug. 4 to determine if title to the Dodgers is in Frank McCourt’s name.

COMMENTARY

McIlroy must avoid third collapse

wanted a judge to give them an order to move forward. Today we have achieved all three.”

MLB spokesman Pat Courtney declined comment. Dennis Wasser, an attorney for Jamie McCourt, hopes the TV deal will be finalized early next week. If MLB doesn’t approve the TV transaction, the settlement is null and void.

“I am just hoping for resolution, and I hope this is a step in that resolution,” Jamie McCourt said.

Some observers said the settlement gives Frank McCourt the legal firepower to get MLB to sign off on the TV transaction.

Reaching a deal not a done deal for NFL NEW YORK — Reaching a labor deal soon is hardly a done deal in the NFL. Team owners will be updated on recent negotiations with the players when they meet in Chicago on Tuesday. They’ve been told to prepare to stay an extra day because of the complexity of the proposals both sides have discussed in sessions over the last three weeks.

Getting the required 24 of 32 owners to agree on anything can be difficult, let alone something as complex as a new collective bargaining agreement. And there has been enough pushback from owners familiar with those proposals that progress made recently might not lead to an agreement in the next few weeks.

Still, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations, the faction of unhappy owners that exists isn’t yet large enough to derail an agreement. That could lead to some heavy lobbying in Chicago at the first owners’ meeting specifically scheduled to deal with the lockout.

The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the negotiations are not supposed to be made public, said a new CBA is not imminent.

NFL League looking into casino case

GOLF Perrino, Lee share Saint-Omer lead

DOTHAN, ALA. — The NFL is investigating the reported investment by at least 25 NFL players in an Alabama casino that has been shut down.

League spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the investigation Friday, a day after Yahoo!

Sports reported that wide receivers Terrell Owens, Santonio Holmes, Santana Moss and other players had invested some $20 million in Country Crossing casino. The report also named defensive tackle Gerard Warren and linebacker Adalius Thomas.

NFL rules bar employees from involvement with any gaming operation. Players violating that rule could be subject to fines or suspensions and have to give up their investment.

SAINT-OMER, FRANCE — Andrea Perrino and Craig Lee shared a one-shot lead after the second round of the Saint-Omer Open.

Lee had six birdies and three bogeys Friday for a 3-under 68 and 5-under 137 total in windy and wet conditions.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Aircraft carrier may host game SAN DIEGO — Organizers say it’s all but certain that the Michigan State-North Carolina basketball game on Veterans Day will be played aboard the USS Carl Vinson, the aircraft carrier that carried Osama bin Laden’s body to a burial at sea.

The Carl Vinson returned from its deployment Wednesday to Coronado, across the bay from downtown San Diego.

Forward transfers to E. Michigan YPSILANTI, MICH. — Former Arkansas forward Glenn Bryant has transferred to Eastern Michigan.

Eastern Michigan coach Rob Murphy announced the move this week.

Bryant says he wanted to play closer to home after 61 games over two season at Arkansas, where he averaged 3.4 points and 2.7 rebounds.

Bryant is from Detroit, about 40 miles from the Ypsilanti campus.

Former UW guard Overton charged SEATTLE — Former Washington backup point guard Venoy Overton was charged Friday in King County Superior Court with promoting prostitution, a felony punishable by up to five years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

Overton is being held in jail on $150,000 bail and will be arraigned June 30, the prosecutor’s office said.

MINNEAPOLIS — New Minnesota football coach Jerry Kill says leading rusher DeLeon Eskridge is leaving the program because he needs to be closer to home in San Francisco to attend to a family matter.

Eskridge rushed for 698 yards and seven touchdowns last year for the Golden Gophers.

35-game bowl schedule released ARLINGTON, TEXAS — College football’s bowl schedule has been released for the 2011-12 season, featuring 35 games over 23 days and ending with the BCS national championship game Jan. 9 in New Orleans.

The Football Bowl Association says the bowl season will open Dec. 17 with three games — the New Mexico Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl and the New Orleans Bowl.

The traditional bowl date of Jan. 1 will have no games since it falls on a Sunday, when the NFL plays a full schedule of games to close its regular season.

The Rose Bowl is Jan. 2, the Sugar is Jan. 3, the Orange is Jan. 4 and the Fiesta is Jan. 5.

AUTO RACING Probation ends for Busch, Harvick BROOKLYN, MICH. — Probation is over for Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick, but the drivers aren’t ready to shake hands and make up.

Asked how much the end of the penalty would change his driving, Busch said “zero.”

The two drivers, fined and disciplined for a run-in after the May 7 race at Darlington, were again told to cool it last week at Pocono. Harvick said afterward that he wanted Busch to know he had one coming.

NBA Rubio to join Timberwolves BARCELONA — Ricky Rubio is making his long-awaited move to the NBA and will join the Minnesota Timberwolves next season.

The highly touted 20-year-old Spanish guard ended two years of speculation Friday, saying “I have finally decided to start the journey” to the NBA. The Timberwolves chose Rubio with the No. 5 pick in the 2009 draft, but his $6 million buyout clause — of which an NBA team can pay only $500,000 under league rules — made him stay in Spain until it came down to a more manageable $1.4 million.

Owners, players make progress NEW YORK — NBA owners relaxed their insistence on non-guaranteed contracts in a new collective bargaining agreement Friday, but players cautioned that isn’t enough because the league is still seeking a hard salary cap.

Even so, the proposal by the owners during 1 a 4 ⁄2-hour meeting was perhaps their most significant movement yet as the sides try to agree to a new deal before the current one expires June 30.

“We think it’s significant. Very significant, actually,” Commissioner David Stern said.

I just figure this is a bigger stage and a lot more opportunity.”

KU coach Bill Self sees an immediate opportunity for Young. The Jayhawks lost seven players off last year’s 35-3 team.

“I thought we definitely needed a playmaker, and we were able, at a late date, to fall into Kevin, and we couldn’t be happier,” Self said. “He’s 6-8, thin and can play multiple positions. He reminds me a lot of Julian Wright — very bouncy, very athletic. He will most definitely be an impact player for us next season.”

Young’s goal, of course, is to play as many minutes as possible in his two seasons here.

“It wasn’t only that, but the coaching and players as well.

“It’s a great atmosphere.

They take a lot of pride in their school and basketball.

They are pretty great teammates. I’ve met them already.

They are good guys. I can’t wait to play with them.”

Loyola Marymount coach Max Good gives a resounding recommendation of Young.

“To be honest, Kevin wants to play 45 minutes of a 40minute game. He goes that hard. He’s the Energizer bunny,” Good told the San Diego Union-Tribune. “I really think Kevin can help most teams in the country in some way, shape or form. There

aren’t many better run-andjump athletes in the country.”

Young left LMU and headed to juco for academic reasons. Self said Young graduated from junior college and had two years left to play.

“We’re really happy,” Self said. “I know he wants to be here. It’s amazing how recruiting works. You work so hard for some guys and don’t get them, and sometimes great opportunities just happen to come your way, and this is certainly a great opportunity for us.”

“I’d ask the coaches why we do this, do that. It made me realize a lot of things about coaching.”

Barstow coach Howard likes what he observed in Young last season.

“He’s a tremendous athlete that plays above the rim,” Howard told sandiegostate.rivals.com.

“He’s a quiet kid. I call him the ‘Quiet Assassin.’ He's got speed, and he plays at 100 percent. He's easy to coach and open to things. If he makes a mistake, he still plays hard.

He’ll make several plays above the rim.”

Young is eager to learn more and more about KU. “The tradition is great.

Hearing all the stories right now, I just can’t wait to actually create some history myself,” Young said.

Sporting KC blanks Quakes ————

MLS squad claims first home win KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — C.J. Sapong scored the first Major League Soccer goal at the new Livestrong Sporting Park, and Sporting Kansas City held on for its first victory in its new home, beating the San Jose Earthquakes, 1-0, on Friday night.

Kansas City (3-64) won consecutive games for the f irst time this season and is unbeaten in its last five matches.

“It’s been just around the corner for a while now for this team,” said Sporting keeper Jimmy Nielsen, who earned his first shutout of the season.

“We’ve been extremely unlucky in some matches. At the end of the day, you have to keep working hard in practice

every day to get around that corner.”

San Jose (5-5-4) had a sixmatch unbeaten string broken.

The crowd of 18,467, while an announced sellout, was noticeably quieter than the standing-room-only 19,925 who saw Sporting play to a scoreless draw with Chicago when the $200 million stadium opened eight days ago.

This time out, Kansas City — coming off a 4-1 win at FC Dallas on Sunday — saw its offensive pressure pay off before halftime.

In the 31st minute, after Ramiro Corrales fouled Sporting’s Davy Arnaud

about 45 yards from the goal, Graham Zusi sent a long free kick into the penalty area.

Sapong leaped at the edge of the 6-yard box, put out his left foot and deflected the ball past Jon Busch.

“It was just one of those good free kicks,” Busch said.

“It was tough to defend.

Maybe on another night, I would have gotten it. Not this night.”

Sapong, after joking that “The soccer gods smiled on me,” also gave credit to Zusi for the spot-on delivery.

“When you have someone who can put the ball where it needs to be, that’s half your job,” Sapong said.

Nielsen, coming off a onematch suspension for a red card against Chicago, made four saves.

KANSAS CITY’S MIKE MOUSTAKAS, BOTTOM, scores ahead of the tag by St. Louis catcher Tony Cruz during the eighth inning. The Royals beat the Cards, 5-4, Friday in St. Louis.

chagrin, Pujols had a chance to atone for the miscue in the ninth when Jon Jay singled off of Kansas City closer Joakim Soria with two outs to bring Pujols up to the plate. But after running the count to 3-0, Soria got Pujols to ground into a 5-4 fielder’s choice to end the game.

“I tried to throw my best pitches to him,” said Soria, who earned his 11th save in 16 chances. “I got behind because I was trying to throw too perfect. Then I figured out I had to throw a strike at some point, because if it’s not him it’s (Matt) Holliday and if it’s not Holliday it’s (Lance) Berkman.”

Soria had lost his closer’s role earlier this year, but seems to have earned his way back into Yost’s good graces.

“I got so much confidence in (him); I thought he would find a way to get us through it,” Yost said.

Pujols’ error made a hardluck loser out of Chris Carpenter, who appeared to have pitched around a walk to Moustakas leading off the eighth inning when he

induced Escobar to hit a grounder to Pujols. Carpenter (1-7) allowed 10 hits and four runs over eight innings. He struck out seven and walked one.

“I’m not going to sit here and fret on what’s going on,” Carpenter said. “I went out and did the best I could tonight. I can go home and look at myself in the mirror and say that I did the best I could.”

Blake Wood (3-0) pitched a

scoreless seventh inning for Kansas City.

Berkman drove in three runs for the Cardinals with a bases-loaded double in the third.

Berkman’s double gave St. Louis a 4-3 lead. Kansas City tied it in the fourth when Royals starter Felipe Paulino laid down a sacrifice with one out and runners on first and third.

Chris Getz scored when Cardinals catcher Tony Cruz tried to retire Escobar at second and Paulino was credited with an RBI. The Royals had built a 3-0 advantage on a first-inning RBI single by Jeff Francoeur and a two-run single by Alex Gordon with two outs in the second.

Notes Kansas City rookie Eric Hosmer, who went 1-for-5, is batting .197 on the road (15for-76) as opposed to .365 at home (31-for-85). ... Carpenter threw 124 pitches, his most since hurling 125 on October 6, 2001, while with the Blue Jays. ... Paulino, the first Royals’ pitcher to step to the plate this year, had two sacrifices in his two at-bats. Royals pitchers went 2-for-16 last year in National League parks. ... St. Louis shortstop Tyler Greene’s sixth inning single ended an 0-for-13 skid.

Cubs take down Yanks, 3-1 ————

New York falls in first trip to Chicago in 8 years Mariners 4, Phillies 2 SEATTLE — Michael Pineda took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, Ichiro Suzuki had three hits, and Seattle ended Philadelphia’s season-high seven-game winning streak.

Shane Victorino singled to right with two outs in the sixth inning for the first hit against Pineda (7-4).

Suzuki, the two-time batting champion, had his six straight multihit game, raising his batting average from .252 to .275.

The Associated Press

Interleague Cubs 3, Yankees 1 CHICAGO — Mark Teixeira saw a couple changeups that went up and away. Curtis Granderson said it was inside, outside and down in the zone the entire game, never much to hit.

Doug Davis just baffled ’em, all day long, pitching into the eighth inning in easily his best start of the season, and the Chicago Cubs began a rare series against the New York Yankees with a victory on Friday.

A season-high crowd of 42,219 packed Wrigley Field for the Bronx Bombers’ first trip to the neighborhood ballpark in eight years.

GOLF FANS HUDDLE NEXT TO THE SCOREBOARD during a rain storm that briefly suspended play in the second round of the U.S. Open on Friday in Bethesda, Md.

U.S. Open CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“Pretty incredible what he’s done so far.”

McIlroy knows better than to start the celebration before Sunday. He was buoyed by support coming into the U.S. Open because of the calamity at Augusta National from two months ago, when he led by four shots going into the final round of the Masters and shot 80, the kind of collapse that isn’t easily forgotten.

“It’s been two very, very good days of golf,” McIlroy said. “I put myself in a great position going into the weekend. But I know more than probably anyone else what can happen. So I’ve got to stay really focused and try and finish this thing off.”

The second round was halted for 42 minutes because of thunderstorms, and Yang held it together on the stronger back nine to at least stay in range. The South Korean is no stranger to big deficits in the majors. It was only two years ago, in the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine, that he trailed Woods by six shots going into the weekend and wound up winning by three.

“I’m not going to chase anyone,” Yang said. “I’m just going to play my game.”

Sergio Garcia had a 71 and joined Snedeker at 2-under 140 among those who finished the second round. Just his luck — and Garcia doesn’t have much of that in the majors — he is playing solid golf at a major where someone else is playing out of this world.

Also at 140 were Matt Kuchar, Robert Garrigus and former Masters champion Zach Johnson.

“It’s only two days,” Johnson said. “I’m not going to give it to him yet.”

The second round was suspended by darkness, forcing 21 players to return Saturday morning to complete their round. And it left everyone who finished wondering if there was any chance of catching McIlroy.

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY GOLFER GARY WOODLAND hits from the 14th tee during the second round of the U.S. Open on Friday in Bethesda, Md. Woodland shot a 71 Friday for a two-round 144, 13 strokes behind runaway leader Rory McIlroy.

“Rory is obviously running away with it, so we are pretty much playing for second unless something crazy happens tomorrow,” PGA champion Martin Kaymer said. “I hope he wins, though. He’s a nice person and he deserves it, especially after the Masters.”

Lee Westwood wasn’t ready to concede after a 68 left him 12 shots behind, although he made yet another reference to Pebble Beach in 2000 when he said his goal was second place, and added, “We’ll see what Rory does.”

“He’s had leads before,” Westwood said.

As for what advice he would give McIlroy?

“I’m supposed to beat him over the next two days,” Westwood said. “I’m hardly going to give him advice, am I?” It was hard to ignore what felt like a coronation for McIlroy as he eased his way around the golf course.

Toward the end of his round, the gallery in the grandstand gave him a standing ovation as the freckle-faced wonder boy with the bounce in his step simply walked onto the green.

“He’s decimated this U.S. Open golf course, and this is no easy test,” defending champion Graeme McDowell said. “It’s an amazing display of golf.” ● Results on page 4B

How have your religious views changed in the last 10 years?

dignity. I have watched them mature through life’s challenges to become beautiful young women who love God and influence others. A lot has changed in my girls’ Rovenstine perspective on life, but the most satisfying change I’ve seen in them is maturity.

My hope is that my heavenly father can say the same for me. When I started on my journey with God, I realized two basic facts: one, I was a mess; two, through his son, Jesus, he can help me.

By acknowledging my sin, and depending on his grace,

I opened my heart and life to his powerful influence in me. My faith in the love of God the Father, the grace of Jesus, his son, and the profound presence of his Holy Spirit strengthen and sustain my life.

My hope is that the past 10 years have brought a deeper understanding of my weakness, combined with a deeper appreciation for his strength. In that sense, it is my hope that my religious views have changed by becoming more mature, not by moving away from the foundational truths that brought me into relationship with God in the first place.

I’ve become immovable on core Christian beliefs (essentials) The Rev. Pam Morrison, pastor, Amazing Grace Community Church 820 High St., Baldwin City: I’ve heard the saying, “In essentials, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; and in all things, love,” attributed to various authors, but I will claim it as an aid to answer this question.

In the last 10 years, I’ve become increasingly immovable on core Christian beliefs (essentials). Every Christian might say, “Well, my perspectives are the ‘essentials.’” I simply mean I will not budge from classic Christian doctrines like the Trinity, the incarnation of Christ, the forgiveness of sin through him, etc. The passage of time has made me more conservative rather than less, even if others modify doctrine or there is hurt encountered for hold-

ing firm. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote in “The Cost of Discipleship” about a relentless courage present in those who have deep conviction.

“Neither failure nor hostility can Morrison weaken the messenger’s conviction that he has been sent by Jesus.”

But differing views on spiritual matters have put us into sometimes unnecessary conflicts not only with those inside the Christian faith, but with those outside. So, though my beliefs have grown more resolute, my desire to be gracious has, ironically, also increased.

much fire from the right and the left. He responded in 1958 in Eternity magazine by saying, “It seems to me that the entire weight of Scripture lies in the direction of fellowship rather than separation. …

What is the great overwhelming evidence that we have passed from death unto life?

Orthodoxy? Morality? Evangelistic passion? No! It is love!”

My own change, then, has been to soften, feel compassion, listen, long to connect with those different from myself whether in doctrine or life experience even while “defending the faith.” Additionally has grown an ever increasing concern to serve the poor in real and tangible ways.

I have grown more spiritually mature on my journey with God The Rev. Nate Rovenstine, pastor, Lawrence Wesleyan Church, 3705 Clinton Parkway: At its worst, the Christian religion seeks to fulfill the expectations of a God we feel we can never please. This leads to a life of legalism or hypocrisy. At its best, the Christian religion is a response to the expansive love of a God who gave his very best to us. This leads to a life of integrity and humility as we receive and distribute truth and grace.

Hallmark rocks Father’s Day Just in time for Father’s Day, Hallmark offers “Rock the House” (8 p.m., Hallmark). Jack Coleman (“Heroes”) stars as a divorced, super-busy dad who has little time for family. About the time he discovers he has alienated his teenage daughter (Cassi Thomson of “Big Love”), he reunites with members of his old high school band and begins practicing all the time. This allows even less time for his daughter, until it dawns on him to invite her to sing backup with the guys. If life were only a Hallmark movie. Help yourself. ● Syfy takes a break from campy films like “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid” (6 p.m., Syfy) to repeat the 1998 television adaptation of “Moby Dick” (8 p.m., Syfy), starring Patrick Stewart and Henry Thomas. ● Two comic actors take on more than 60 roles in the fake airport documentary “Come Fly With Me” (10:30 p.m., BBC America). Matt Lucas and David Walliams play everyone from air hostesses to passengers, celebrities and paparazzi. Produced by the folks who brought us “Little Britain.” ● The Bio Channel combines television’s gluttony for superstition with its worship of boldfaced names in its ongoing series “Celebrity Ghost Stories” (8 p.m., Bio). Now in its third season, “Celebrity Ghost Stories” will feature spine-tingling tales by Regis Philbin, Harry Hamlin, Ana Gasteyer and Jaime King. And that’s just tonight’s show! Later this season, we’ll be regaled with tales of spectral encounters by singer/rapper Dennis Coles, better known as Ghostface Killah. Just what does a ghost say to a man named Ghostface?

Tonight’s other highlights ● Fans of AMC’s “The Killing,” or folks who want to catch up, can watch the show in two six-episode marathon helpings (3 p.m. through 9 p.m. today and Sunday, Sundance). ● Settlers adjust to the planet Carpathia on the new British import “Outcasts” (8 p.m., BBC America). ● Scheduled on “48 Hours Mystery” (9 p.m., CBS): Murder ensues after a man’s wife sues his mistress. ● Lady Gaga, Gwyneth Paltrow, Geoffrey Rush and Jason Byrne appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America). ● Jim Carrey hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guests the Black Keys.

Cult choice A Vermont maid (Carole Lombard) flimflams big-city newspaper writers in the 1937 screwball comedy “Nothing Sacred” (11 p.m., TCM).

Saturday series An eager spy finds things complicated on “CHAOS” (7 p.m., CBS) ... “Minute To Win It” (7 p.m., NBC) ... On back-to-back episodes of “Cops” (Fox), domestic violence (7 p.m.) and oddities (7:30 p.m.) ...

“The Bachelorette” (7 p.m., ABC).

A murder caught on tape on “NCIS” (8 p.m., CBS) ... Death by design on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” (8 p.m., NBC) ...

John Walsh hosts “America’s Most Wanted” (8 p.m., Fox) ... One murder leads to another on “Law & Order: Los Angeles” (9 p.m., NBC) ... “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” (9 p.m., ABC).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Saturday, June 18: This year, many doors will open up for you. Your charisma and vitality attract many. As a result, you also have an unusually stubborn drive. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone quite different who you will want to get to know better. If you are attached, the two of you will gain from planning a special trip together.

Aquarius always has another view or a different idea.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ You beam with friendship and caring.

Your efforts pay off. You might overspend or overdo it in some fashion. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ You might be left holding the bag, and have to follow through on a key responsibility. Don't worry so much; stay centered and know that you can breeze through this additional work. Tonight: Out and about.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ You might be ready for adventure. For some of you, it could be a day trip. For others, it might be something you

jacquelinebigar.com

have never experienced before. Tonight: At least try a new spot.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ Make time for that special person who makes you smile from ear to ear. You could have a very special time, as long as you both honor what you love. Tonight: Add in some candlelight.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Others want your time and just enjoy the moment. You get unexpected news, which encourages more spontaneity than usual. Tonight: Celebrating.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ You will get into a project and complete as much as possible. Do ask a partner or loved one to join in. Tonight: How about a barbecue?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ The kid in you seeks to express itself. It might just be the twinkle in your eye, but it could be a very spontaneous reaction to a family member, loved one and/or friend. Tonight: Just don't make your sweetie jealous.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Staying close to home doesn't mean being bored. Whether playing cards and games with a family member, planning a party for later in the day or just curling up with a great

book, you naturally enjoy yourself. Tonight: Accept someone's caring gesture.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★★ Return calls and catch up on news.

Make plans to join friends, whether it is off to the movies or a late lunch.

Tonight: Intense sharing.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Generally, you are associated with being reasonable and somewhat conservative in decisionmaking. How you explain tossing logic to the wind and being spontaneous could be interesting.

Tonight: Rein in your spending.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You wake up energized. You might have thought you would do this or that today, but suddenly you toss the status quo to the wind. Tonight: Only what you want.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ Take some muchneeded personal time. You could be more drained by certain ideas and circumstances than you realize.

Tonight: Hook up with a friend or loved one.

Dear Annie: I’m so confused. I have been married for 15 years and have five kids.

Our married life started out great, but for the past several years, it has been dwindling to the point where I don’t know if I want to stay.

My husband will tell me in the morning that he hates me, and by lunch, he is hugging and groping me and saying he loves me. I used to think he was bipolar, but now I’m not sure.

Whatever the discussion, he is always right. He has a list of demands for me, ranging from how polite I must be to the way I sigh.

He has threatened suicide, even doing so in front of the kids.

He calls me nasty names and tells me he can’t stand the sight of me and that I smell like a urinal. He will scream that I am stupid. He tells the kids not to listen to me. Last year, he almost convinced me that I was hallucinating and hearing voices. After eye and hearing exams, it turned out he was muttering under his breath.

I am tired of crying myself to sleep. It has started to affect my health. Defending myself only makes the situation escalate. The kids can hear us fighting, and for this, I am sorry.

I have no family, and

Conn. residents pounce on reports of loose cougar

ANTI-SYRIAN REGIME PROTESTERS SHOUT SLOGANS as one of them holds an Arabic placard reading,”News alert, Bashar Assad to the hell” during a demonstration to support the Syrian protests against Bashar Assad’s regime Friday in Tripoli, northern Lebanon.

Activists say Syrian security forces have shot dead 16 people including a 16-year-old boy during anti-government protests. Thousands of Syrian people poured into the streets throughout Syria after Friday prayers calling for the downfall of Assad’s regime.

Syrian forces open fire on protesters

By Zeina Karam and Elizabeth A. Kennedy Associated Press Writers

BEIRUT — Syrian security forces fired on thousands of protesters Friday, killing a teenage boy and at least 15 other civilians as accounts emerged of more indiscriminate killing and summary executions by the autocratic regime of President Bashar Assad, activists said.

The three-month uprising has proved stunningly resilient despite a relentless crackdown by the military, the pervasive security forces and pro-regime gunmen.

Human rights activists say more than 1,400 Syrians have been killed and 10,000 detained as Assad desperately tries to maintain his grip on power.

“What is our guilt? We just demanded freedom and democracy nothing else,” said Mohamed, 27, who spoke to The Associated Press from a refugee camp in neighboring Turkey where nearly 10,000 Syrians have fled.

Mohamed, who asked to be identified only by his first name for fear of reprisals, and other refugees offered harrowing accounts of the regime’s bombardment.

“I saw people who were beheaded with machine-gun fire from helicopters” and a man tortured to death when security forces poured acid on his body, he said.

He said a sugar factory in Jisr al-Shughour was turned into a jail where they “hold quick trials and execute anyone who they believe partici-

pated in protests.” Jisr alShughour was a town that was spinning out of government control before the military recaptured it last Sunday.

U.N. envoy Angelina Jolie traveled to Turkey’s border with Syria on Friday to meet some of the refugees, and she was greeted by a 45-foot-long banner that read: “Goodness Angel of the World, Welcome” in English and Turkish. Police prevented media coverage of the visit.

Assad is expected to give a speech as early as Sunday in what would be only his third public appearance since the uprising began in midMarch, inspired by the revolutions sweeping the Arab world.

The uprising has proven to be the boldest challenge to the Assad family’s 40-year dynasty in Syria. Assad, now 45, inherited power in 2000, raising hopes that the lanky, soft-spoken young leader might transform his late father’s stagnant and brutal dictatorship into a modern state.

But over the past 11 years, hopes dimmed that Assad was a reformist at heart. Now, as his regime escalates a brutal crackdown, it seems increasingly unlikely that he will regain any political legitimacy.

On Friday, a French official said the European Union was preparing new, expanded sanctions that would target “economic entities” in Syria.

France, Britain, Germany and Portugal are also sponsoring a draft resolution at the U.N. Security Council to con-

High Commissioner for Refugees, waves Friday as she exits a van surrounded by Syrian refugees at the Altinozu refugee camp near the Syrian border. demn Syria. They say they have the votes needed to pass it but want more support.

Syria’s foreign minister, Walid al-Moualem, told the Security Council in a letter circulated Friday that the proposed resolution is based on erroneous information and would intrude in Syria’s internal affairs.

The resolution, he added, would help the “extremists and terrorists” he blamed for the country’s violence.

Despite widespread calls for an end to the crackdown, the country’s future is far from certain — particularly as there is no clear alternative to Assad.

Syria has a pivotal role in nearly every thorny Mideast issue. A staunch Iranian ally, Syria backs the militant groups Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

It has also provided a home for some radical Palestinian groups and has exerted influence in neighboring Iraq.

Chaos in Syria, as a result, has wide implications on the region.

Syria has tried to exploit those fears, alleging that armed gangs and foreign conspirators are behind the unrest, not true reform-seekers. In what has become a weekly back-and-forth between activists and the government, both sides offered divergent death tolls.

Syria’s state-run TV said Friday that a policeman was killed and more than 20 were wounded when “armed groups” opened fire at them.

It added that six police officers were wounded in Deir el-Zour when gunmen attacked a police station in the area.

NEW HAVEN, CONN. — After a mountain lion was found dead near Greenwich last week, residents of the wealthy New York City suburb have been seeing cougars everywhere: perched on a wall at a golf course, traipsing down a scenic parkway, being chased by a pair of dogs.

Off icials say the dead mountain lion likely escaped from captivity and found no evidence of other lions stalking Connecticut. That hasn’t stopped the buzz from permeating the essence of an idyllic suburb normally accustomed to worrying about geese droppings, the future of a makeshift Wiffle ball stadium and a proposed ban on leaf blowers.

“Just f ive minutes ago somebody from Old Bedford Road said they saw it,” said William Strain, who owns a store in the backcountry of Greenwich, where the lion was spotted.

But experts say such sightings are notoriously unreliable, with people often confusing bobcats, coyotes, dogs and other animals for lions, especially amid the recent hullabaloo.

“It’s a big exotic wild animal that’s capable of killing a human being,” said Mark Dowling, a director with the Cougar Network. “I just think people are excited about something big, dangerous and exotic. I think people want to be able to say they’ve seen something exciting, extraordinary.”

He acknowledged, though, that it’s possible more than one cougar got loose.

State officials believe a mountain lion killed June 11 on a highway in Milford was the same one spotted earlier more than 30 miles away in Greenwich. But reports of more sightings persist in a town more accustomed to worrying about geese droppings, the future of a makeshift Wiffle ball stadium and a proposed ban on leaf blowers.

A woman walking her dog Wednesday reported seeing two “hounds” chase a big cat, and a golf course employee said he saw a mountain lion on a stone wall. Police in nearby Fairfield received two sightings of a mountain lion.

A big cat was spotted in northwest Greenwich a day after the lion was killed in Milford and another motorist reported seeing one on the Merritt Parkway.

The sightings prompted the closing of trails at the Audubon Center in Greenwich.

Rashe Campbell, manager of the Pet Pantry store in Greenwich, said a few cus-

tomers with large Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs have come in to buy brightly colored collars in hopes of sparing them from anyone taking up arms against a mountain lion.

Dick Hoyt, who owns an outdoor trading shop in Greenwich, welcomed the animal.

“It’s pretty exciting to see something you would think you would have to go to a national park to see,” he said.

“It’s just seems so out of place. It’s great that there are a lot of natural woods that critters like that can survive.”

Some experts see a deeper reason for the phenomenon: A desire to believe in a comeback by nature.

“There is something in us that needs this sense of wild, especially in the most drab suburban places,” said Christopher Spatz, president of the Cougar Rewilding Foundation. “The cougar represents that. It reanimates things for people in these places that are as sterile as could be.”

State officials say they believe the mountain lion found dead was kept illegally and either escaped or was released. They are conducting tests to determine its origins.

Alan Rabinowitz, a zoologist who is president and CEO of New York-based Panthera and whose research in Belize in the 1980s led to the creation of the world’s first jaguar preserve, said he agrees with wildlife officials that lions found in the Northeast have captive origins. But he said it’s possible a small population of lions has learned to exist in the wild.

“There’s a possibility that they are surviving in small numbers in the wooded areas of the Northeast,” Rabinowitz said. “Some of these could be multi-generational. Having once been captive, they are now wild animals. They are not just being set free as pets.”

Rabinowitz said there have been credible sightings of mountain lions around the Northeast along with tracks and hair. He said there is plenty of prey such as deer, and mountain lions are highly adaptable and secretive.

But other private and government experts disagree.

They say even a small population of mountain lions would be detectable through tracks, cameras set up by hunters and accidents with vehicles, but extensive surveys and investigations have failed to turn up signs of a population living in the wild or breeding.

“The evidence is not there,” said Mark McCollough, endangered species biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who wrote the report concluding the eastern cougar was extinct.

LIBYA

Gadhafi defiant: ‘NATO will be defeated. They will pull out in defeat’

By Adam Schreck and Hadeel al-Shalchi Associated Press Writers

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — Provoked by renewed daylight NATO bombing of his capital, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi raged against the alliance Friday, screaming his message and daring Western forces to keep it up.

Gadhafi spoke in a telephone call that was piped through loudspeakers to a few thousand people demonstrating in Tripoli’s Green Square, at the end of a day when NATO intensif ied bombing runs across the capital. State television carried the Gadhafi message live, then repeated it a few minutes later.

“NATO will be defeated,” he yelled in a hoarse, agitated voice. “They will pull out in defeat.”

The sound of automatic weapons being fired defiantly into the air echoed through the square for hours as carloads of pro-Gadhafi supporters — many with children in tow — crammed the streets leading to the plaza.

Although there was a large presence of police and sol-

LIBYAN RESIDENTS INSPECT DAMAGE Friday caused by a rocket that fell through the roof of a house in Misrata, Libya, one of three that hit the city. East of Tripoli, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s forces exchanged intense shelling with rebels who are slowly breaking the government siege on their western stronghold, the port city of Misrata. diers in the square, many of those popping off rounds wore civilian clothes.

Protesters and foreign journalists in the capital said it was one of the biggest such demonstrations since airstrikes began.

“Everyone in Libya wants Colonel Gadhafi, not some traitors,” Rajab Hamman, a 51-year-old engineer from

Tripoli, said in the square as another demonstrator shot a magazine load of automatic rifle fire into the air a few steps away. “These are the real, true Libyans,” he said of the crowd.

East of Tripoli, meanwhile, Gadhafi’s forces exchanged intense shelling with rebels who are slowly breaking the government siege on their

western stronghold, the port city of Misrata.

Doctors at the Hikma hospital in Misrata said nine rebel fighters and a woman living near the battle were killed and 30 others were wounded. Government casualties were not known.

Barrages of artillery and Grad missiles were landing on rebel lines as they continued trying to advance out of Misrata, 125 miles east of the capital.

The heaviest shelling rained down between the towns of Dafniya and Zlitan, west of the Mediterranean port. Rebels were holding their own with return fire from their front about 20 miles west of the port.

For weeks rebels had been bottled up in Misrata, one of a handful of toeholds they hold in western Libya.

The eastern third of the country is under rebel control from their de facto capital, Benghazi. As NATO warplanes began stepping up attacks on Libyan government forces, bases and ammunition depots in recent days, the rebels in Misrata used the distraction to start their push out of the

city toward Tripoli.

Fighting has been intense along that front, with the rebels only able to advance about 20 miles.

NATO attacked the Libyan capital at midday Friday, pounding a target in the south of the city and sending a thick cloud of black smoke rising high into the air.

A series of explosions rumbled across other parts of the city as fighter jets could by heard flying overhead. Fire engines raced through the streets, sirens blaring.

It wasn’t clear what was hit or whether there were casualties. Friday is the main day of rest in Libya, with many people off work.

NATO has been ramping up the pressure on Gadhafi’s regime. Though most airstrikes happen under cover of darkness, daytime raids have grown more frequent.

Friday’s raids followed a barrage that struck multiple targets late Thursday night.

In his outburst, Gadhafi made a spitting sound and labeled as cowards the rebels f ighting to oust him and those politicians and soldiers who had defected from Gad-

hafi’s cause. He called the rebels “sons of dogs,” a particularly cutting epithet in the Arab world.

And he said the people of Benghazi, the rebel capital, were existing on money from the “donkeys of Qatar, and the donkeys of the Gulf.” The rebels are receiving support from Arab nations in the Persian Gulf.

Prime Minister Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi accused NATO of a “new level of aggression” over the past 72 hours in which he said the military alliance intentionally targeted civilian buildings, including a hotel and a university.

“It has become clear to us that NATO has moved on to deliberately hitting civilian buildings. ... This is a crime against humanity,” he told reporters in the capital.

Libya’s Health Ministry released new casualty figures that put the number of civilians killed in NATO airstrikes through June 7 at 856.

There was no way to independently verify the figure and previous governmentannounced tolls from individual strikes have proven to be exaggerated.
