“The very first year it was out of my backyard,” Pierce recalled of his garden beginnings. “It was really obvious I had to expand. I went from 30 tomato plants to 300 to 450 to 900 this year.”

Happy hours, ladies nights and even Vanna White lookalikes soon all may be making a comeback in Lawrence bars.

A new state law took eff fect Sunday that once again makes happy hours and several other alcohol-related promotions legal in Kansas after a more than two-decade prohibition.

Previously, state law prohibited drinking establishments from offering special drink prices for just a specific period of the day, said Jeannine Koranda, a spokeswoman with the Kansas Department of Revenue. Instead, if bars wanted to offer a discount, they had to offer the discount for the full 24hour period.

The new law scraps the all-day pricing provision, and also allows bars to begin offering drink specials to certain demographic groups, such as ladies or members off fraternities or sororities.

Several Lawrence bar owners said they expect to see some creative promotions in the coming months.

“I’m sure there will be some fun ones,” said Rick Renfro, owner of the Johnny’s Tavern establishments in Lawrence and the Kansas City area. “The best one I’ve heard so far is a ‘Wheel off Fortune’ type of thing. They spin the wheel, and whatever comes up will be the drink special for the next hour.”

Phil Bradley, executive director of the Lawrencebased Kansas Licensed Beverage Association, said he’s been working for 15 years to get the state law changed.

At the urging of his wife, Steve Pierce’s pasta sauce has gone from hobby to a money-making undertaking.

The Baldwin City resident and teacher in the Shawnee Mission school district has been a gardener for 25 years. He was at the dinner table eating a dish with homemade pasta sauce when his wife suggested he sell the sauce. That was five years ago.

He cultivates about an acre of land between Eudora and Baldwin City, but it’s not just a summer job. With the exception of December and January, Pierce, with some help from his family, tends to the expansive garden. Pierce tends to the garden at “first light” in the morning, which he also does during the school year on his way to school.

Flags to be lowered for Kansas soldier

TOPEKA (AP) — Flags will be lowered throughout Kansas today as a soldier from Johnson County is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Army Sgt. Michael J. Knapp, of Overland Park, was killed May 18 during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan. The 28-yearold graduate of Shawnee Mission North High School had become a father last year when his wife, Abby, gave birth to a girl.

Knapp was a member of the 1st Battalion (Air Assault), 377th Field Artillery Regiment, 17th Fires Brigade based out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.

Sparkler bomb destroys mailbox WICHITA (AP) — Wichita police say it’s lucky nobody was hurt when a homemade “sparkler bomb” destroyed a mailbox and damaged a home.

Lt. Doug Nolte said a woman who lives in the south part of the city heard

a loud explosion around 9:15 p.m. Sunday and went outside to investigate.

The Wichita Eagle reported that she found her mailbox destroyed and debris from it had struck the side of her house.

Nolte says the department’s bomb squad determined someone had built an improvised explosive device using sparklers and set it off inside the mailbox. He said the force of sparkler bombs is strong enough to kill anyone who is nearby when they explode. The case is being investigated as arson.

Earlier Sunday in Wichita, fireworks were blamed for a fire that seriously injured a woman and her young child.

The Wichita Eagle reported that the blaze started early Sunday in a plastic trash can near the house where people had dumped fireworks remnants.

Fire Lt. Kelly Zane says a 37-year-old woman and her 2-year-old son were the only ones in the home at the time of the fire. They were able to escape but were taken to the burn unit at a Wichita hospital in serious condition.

“

Roe said she appreciates the reading program and tells the T-Bones general manager that when she retires she is going to take the team mascot, Sizzle, on the road with her to promote reading in area schools.

“He smiles and nods his head,” Roe said.

Am I in the right section?

Steve Gish has spent portions of past summer vacations conducting or assisting with basketball camps, and this summer he is teaching summer school in the McLouth school district, where he’s been a longtime high school math and computer science teacher.

This summer, though, the Tonganoxie resident is helping to ensure that soccer fans and music enthusiasts get to their seats.

Gish works at Livestrong Sporting Park as an usher for soccer games and the occasional concert at the venue.

“It’s been fun,” Gish said. “Once every week and a half, two weeks. I don’t feel that it’s a drudgery-type everyday job. It’s kind of a change of pace.”

The teacher learned of the job through another McLouth teacher’s wife, who prints tickets at the stadium.

“It’s a chance to get a different perspective on a business that seems kind of seamless when you show up,” Gish said. “Like when you go to a Royals game or Jayhawks game or anything else. You think it’s automatic. It opens your eyes to all the little jobs and responsibilities that go into a major sporting event or concert.”

Concerts can be more challenging, as some attendees attempt to seek better seats.

“I got to hear a lot of lines of why people needed to be on the field for the concert — between ‘I need to talk to my friend’ and ‘I left my purse somewhere.’ All of these other interesting reasons,” he said.

Additional teaching For Lindsey Constance and Lucas Shivers, their summer work was an extension of their day jobs.

The Bluejacket-Flint Elementary teachers from Shawnee spent two

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD weeks earlier this month in Manhattan learning about sensor technology with Kansas State University graduate students.

The sixth-grade teachers learned to incorporate sensor technology into contemporary classrooms using hands-on approaches.

Teachers participate in the program in twoyear intervals, and this was the second summer at K-State for Constance, who teaches science, and Shivers, who teaches language arts. They applied for the program last year and were two of 15 teachers from across the state working with nine K-State graduate students last month.

The program, known as Infusing System Design and Sensor Technology in Education, included activities such as building working speakers from scrap materials, assembling circuits from homemade PlayDoh, utilizing WiiMotes to demonstrate physics concepts and programming robots. Participants also visited research labs and sites at K-State and in the surrounding area, including the K-State Soils Lab, the Department of Kinesiology’s NASA physiological research unit, the Konza Prairie Biological Research Station and stream sediment sensor networks near Fort Riley.

KSU engineering graduate student Denise Case visited Bluejacket-Flint periodically last school year to work on class exercises with Constance and Shivers and will do the same in the upcoming school year.

“We’re going to do a unit on Newton’s Law of Motion in rockets,” Constance said. “We’re going to use sensors to measure the acceleration and velocity. I think that will be really exciting.”

One of Shivers’ lessons will focus on creating technical instructions for a computer program.

He said Case worked well with students and he looks forward to her partnership in the classroom again in the upcoming school year.

“She really made it hands-on,” Shivers said.

“Students could wrap their minds around it and realize they could really have a future in that area.”

In the past, Shivers has worked various jobs, including summer day camps and at the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame.

“We just had a baby, so that’s kind of my summer,” Shivers said.

Constance, who is expecting a baby in the fall, generally works as a math tutor in the summer.

“I’m not all that great at relaxing,” she said. “I do better if I have something going on — something like this or taking classes or training for a marathon.”

He thinks the new provisions will help Lawrence drinking establishments market to nontraditional customers rather than rely solely on college students.

For example, he said bars could host afternoon promotions that target retirees or other people above a certain age.

“You could call it ‘an old enough to know better’ hour,” Bradley said.

What remains to be seen is how aggressive Lawrence bars become in pricing alcoholic drinks.

Renfro said he doesn’t expect drink prices to drop much in Lawrence because the local market already has relatively low drink prices because of the large number of drinking establishments.

However, Rick Younger, owner of Rick’s Place, said he could see the return of the “drink and drown” specials that were popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Those

specials involved bars charging a higher-thannormal cover charge but then selling cheap draw beer, oftentimes for just a few cents.

The new Kansas law requires bar owners to sell all alcohol at or above their costs, but Younger said for some types of draw beer that could amount to 25 cents or less.

“You can have some pretty cheap drink prices and still meet the law, but the key is you are going to have to have a lot of volume,” Younger said. “I don’t think we’re going to really know which direction this goes in Lawrence until school starts again and until football starts again.”

A spokesman for the Kansas chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving said the organization didn’t take a position on the new law. He said his organization is most concerned that bars don’t sell to people under 21, and that drinkers make plans to have designated drivers.

Koranda said she is not aware of any particular

challenges the new law will create for her department’s Alcohol Beverage Control division, which regulates drinking establishments in the state.

Renfro said he’s not anticipating any problems either. Instead, he’s mainly curious to know whether the old-time traditional happy hour trend of office workers and professionals having a few drinks after work returns.

“I think it may make a comeback,” Renfro said.

“I’ve always said one of the reasons you go to work is so you can have a beer after you are done with it.”

Veteran misses Paralympics berth

Kansas University graduate and Iraq War veteran Kortney Clemons finished second in the 100-meter sprint and third in his class in the 200 meters last weekend at the U.S. Paralympic trials in Indianapolis.

But Clemons, who lost most of his right leg in a 2005 explosion in Iraq, said he was not selected to compete on the national team in the 2012 London Paralympic Games later this summer.

Clemons, 31, who currently lives in Lawrence and has been training with KU track coach Stanley Redwine, said he was disappointed he won’t be going to London after his performance among other above-theknee amputees. He still called his work — from learning how to walk to sprinting competitively — a positive experience.

“I’m not bitter about the journey at all,” said Clemons, who was an Army combat medic and has received a Purple Heart.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Fort Hays State Atchison sees rise in Amelia Earhart interest “ banks $1.5M per year from China HAYS (AP) — Fort Hays State has been collecting about $1.5 million a year from the tuition that students in China pay to attend Fort Hays’ classes at universities in China.

Fort Hays State has sent faculty members to two Chinese universities where about 3,500 Chinese students are taking courses leading to U.S. bachelor’s degrees. Students in the People’s Republic of China pay to take courses for their Chinese degree while enrolled in a separate track for their Fort Hays coursework, The Kansas City Star reported Monday.

Fort Hays charges those Chinese students more for classes than Kansas students pay at the Hays campus in western Kansas. The China students also pay an international fee of about $30 per credit hour.

Fort Hays courses in China lead to bachelor’s degrees in several areas, including political science and information networking telecommunications.

A bachelor of arts in global business English is scheduled to start this fall.

Under Fort Hays State’s program in the People’s Republic of China, Fort Hays pays its faculty members there, but the Chinese government gives them room and board. Fort Hays operates out of an existing Chinese

college so it incurs no overhead beyond the salaries it would pay anyway.

Ed Hammond, Fort Hays State president, said that state support to higher education has been on a steady decline, and he has “no shame in having China supplement our instruction at Fort Hays.”

He said the money from China helps offset costs for students in Kansas.

Fort Hays, a public university in western Kansas, has the lowest tuition among schools in several Midwestern states.

Hammond said it costs less than $2,000 a semester for a full-time Kansas student taking 15 credit hours to attend Fort Hays State. That’s about $12,600 for a four-year education — or about $1,000 more than an out-of-state student would spend for just one semester at Kansas University.

Hammond and other administrators traveled to China several times in 1999 and 2000 to set up the partnership.

“We wanted our degree in China to mean the same as the one issued here,” said Cindy Elliot, assistant provost for strategic partnerships.

Hammond said the next step for Fort Hays, which has about 200 Chinese students among the 5,000 on its Hays campus, is to send more Kansas students to study in China.

Assaria man convicted in wife’s death SALINA — A 41-year-old central Kansas man has been found guilty in the 2010 death of his wife.

A Saline County jury on Monday convicted Michael Andrew Paulson of seconddegree murder in the July 6, 2010, death of Valerie Paulson.

The Salina Journal reports that Paulson, who uses his middle name, also was found guilty of attempted second-degree murder in connection with

injuries inflicted on his sister-in-law, Jessie Putman.

Prosecutors said Paulson was facing the prospect of divorce and took a knife upstairs with him when he hid in the loft of their Assaria home as his wife was returning to pick up her belongings.

Defense attorney Richard Ney told jurors that Paulson may have spontaneously picked up a knife that had been left in that area.

the current fiscal year.

The total includes $154.9 million for state hospitals.

“There are differences between the older adults and persons with disabilities whom we will serve under the new agency, but they also represent many common challenges: helping people to stay independent and healthy as long as possible, the need for quality housing and competent caregivers, and the necessity of navigating a fragmented health care system,” said Shawn Sullivan, secretary of aging and disability services.

Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer said the reorganization was key to the administration’s proposal to reform the $2.9 billion Medicaid system.

“As we worked to improve services and health outcomes, we realized that the state agencies and programs involved needed to be streamlined to better facilitate their functions and communications,” he said.

Brownback’s administration issued contracts last week to three private companies to manage Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor, elderly and those with disabilities. The proposal is being reviewed by the federal government.

Department for Aging and Disability Services.

The DCF will deal with children and adult protection services, adoption services, foster care support, child support services, welfare and food assistance programs, and programs dedicated to vocational rehabilitation.

DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore said the goal of the new agency will be to safely reduce the number of children in the state’s care and keep families intact as much as possible.

The former Kansas Department on Aging has merged with the Disability and Behavioral Health Services Division of SRS and parts of the Health Occupations Credentialing Division.

The new Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services will administer services to older adults; mental health, addiction and prevention programs; state hospitals and institutions; home and community-based services waiver programs; and some health occupations credentialing. It will be the second-largest agency in state government, with a budget of $1.7 billion for

ATCHISON (AP) — Interest in aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart is high in her birthplace, Atchison, on the 75th anniversary of her disappearance.

The St. Joseph NewsPress reported that visitors have been flocking to the city, 45 miles northwest of Kansas City.

One popular destination is the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum, at the home where Earhart was born in an upstairs bedroom in 1897 and where she spent much of her first 12 years.

Helping to fuel the flow of visitors are renewed efforts to learn what happened to Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan on July 2, 1937. They disappeared while flying from New Guinea to Howland Island as part of the adventurer’s attempt to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the globe.

Protection and Affordable Care Act. In the decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court said the penalties fell under Congress’ right to impose taxes.

Brownback and Colyer, both Republicans and ardent opponents of the federal law, said Kansas would not act on advancing that law in Kansas because presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, if elected, has vowed to repeal it.

Many supporters of the Affordable Care Act, however, have said even if Romney wins election, he would be unable to repeal the law without a majority of Republicans in the Senate.

We like to stress her accomplishments rather than her disappearance. However, everyone loves a mystery.”

“We like to stress her accomplishments rather than her disappearance,” said Louise Foudray, who serves as caretaker and historian of the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum. “However, everyone loves a mystery.”

In April, researchers announced that enhanced analysis of a photograph taken months after her Lockheed Electra plane vanished shows what may be the landing gear of the aircraft protruding from the waters off the remote island of Nikumaroro, in what is now the Pacific nation of Kiribati.

Senate rules generally require 60 votes in the 100-member Senate to break filibusters and take up legislation. But Senate rules also allow a fast track procedure called budget reconciliation to consider some tax and spending bills with a 51-vote majority. Republicans currently hold 47 Senate seats and hope to pick up several more in the November general election.

Meanwhile, Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, one of the few Republicans in the country to voice support for the health care overhaul, said Kansas should implement a key provision that would establish exchanges to help consumers buy health insurance.

“The clock is ticking,” Praeger said at a forum put on by the Kansas Health Institute.

Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, spurred by this discovery, were to begin a search attempt in that area Monday.

The group also revealed during a symposium last month that they had recently stumbled upon what might be an anti-freckle cream jar that could have belonged to Earhart on a remote island in the western Pacific.

Recently, Wayne and Billie Henderson of Ottawa made the trip with their 11-year-old granddaughter, Rachael Wells.

“We’ve kind of been following the stories,” Wayne Henderson said.

California muralist John Cerney, who describes his work as “giant cut-outart,” was so fascinated that he is donating a giant highway piece depicting Earhart with her plane. It will greet visitors entering Atchison.

Jackie Pregont, president of the Atchison Chamber of Commerce and coordinator of the annual Amelia Earhart Festival, said the artist offered to create the mural after developing an interest in Earhart and learning that this month marks the anniversary of her disappearance.

“He’s a phenomenal artist, and we’re terribly excited he’s chosen to do this,” Pregont says, adding that the piece will measure approximately 12 feet tall by 38 feet wide. It will be put together July 18 on property located south of Atchison.

of Health and Human Services, said it would be better for Kansas to set up its own exchange so the state could tailor the system to Kansas’ needs.

And last week, HHS announced 10 more opportunities for states to apply for funding to establish an exchange.

“It’s a significant giving up of state authority if we don’t move forward,” Praeger said.

But Colyer said the Brownback administration still intends to await the results of the presidential election in November.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• Lawrence police arrested a 41-year-old Lawrence man Saturday evening after he fled from officers who were dispatched to a suspicious activity call in the 2400 block of West 25th Street.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman, said the man, James Lawton Thornton, was accused of trying to load a motorcycle with a stolen license tag in the parking lot. Police eventually found Thornton hiding near another building.

Douglas County prosecutors on Monday filed three counts of theft, one count of possession of methamphetamine and one count of obstruction against Thornton.

• Douglas County prosecutors Monday charged a 29-year-old Topeka man with vehicle burglary, theft and criminal trespassing in connection with an incident early Sunday in the 1100 block of West 27th Street.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said police were called there just before 5 a.m. about an auto burglary in progress, and an officer observed a suspect running in the area.

After setting up a perimeter, police located the suspect, Nicholas Monroe Thompson, and arrested him. A witness identified him as the auto burglary suspect. Officers found property from several other potential burglaries, but they were unable to locate any other victims as of Monday, McKinley said.

• Rees Victor Barber, a 23-year-old Topeka man, whom police subdued with a Taser after an altercation early Sunday outside Shots Bar, 1008 Mass., has been given notice to appear in Lawrence Municipal Court July 24 on charges of disorderly conduct and interference with duties of an officer. Barber posted $200 cash bond. Ebony Nicole Williamson, 21, of Topeka, is also scheduled to appear in municipal court July 24 on a

disorderly conduct charge for the same incident.

• A Leavenworth man who was delivering newspapers Saturday morning near Tonganoxie reported to the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office that two men in a red full-size F-150 extended cab truck deliberately ran his vehicle off the road while he was traveling north on 199th Street just north of Parallel Road. The victim’s vehicle struck a mailbox that caused more than $1,000 in damage.

The incident is listed as an aggravated assault investigation.

• A 31-year-old Lawrence man reported to the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday that someone stole an airconditioning unit from the outside of a vacant house on Stillwell Road just north of U.S. Highway 24-40. The suspects cut wires and piping after the electric meter was pulled on the outside of the house. A window was also damaged on the house, which is for sale. Estimated damage is listed as $4,200.

• Subsonic Scooters, 629 N. 2nd St., reported a 2002 Jaguar worth $5,995 missing on June 27. It was recovered on Wednesday, according to police reports.

MEDICAL CALL • Medics responded Monday afternoon to a report of a person who was injured after falling from a balcony in the 1400 block of Legends Circle.

Medics arrived at the residence about 2 p.m. The residence is northwest of Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa Drive. One person was taken by ambulance to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, said Division Chief Eve Tolefree, a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical spokeswoman.

Teen has $10M dream to restore amusement park

WICHITA (AP) — A Wichita teenager has been working to raise about $10 million to renovate the city’s long-closed amusement park.

But the Mark Swenson, 18-year-old East estimates descendant affairs clerk, he will need $10 million Los Angeles to buy and renovate the “It’ll be good for bar busi- 40-acre park, The Wichita ness.

“Honestly, yes, the account is low right now but only because we are strictly running off of public” donations, East said.

“You know, people just donating their $10 or $20 or buying T-shirts.”

East drew public attention in 2011 after he asked the Wichita City CounConnie Ehrlich, cil to fund his $10 million artist, push to buy and restore Lawrence the park, which closed “I think it’ll be great for businesses.

The byist who helped bring it City Council did not auback, and he did a great thorize public funds for the project and the city’s job.” future role in the project, if any, remains unknown, according to director of Urban Development Allen Bell.

Bell said East’s plan is “nowhere near being ready for the city to look at yet. I have no idea if there’s a role the city will play in this. It’s too early to tell.”

Gary Slade, publisher and editor-in-chief of Erin Reid, Amusement Today, said student, renovation could take a Lawrence “I don’t personally go out while and that funding may also be a problem.

— Wichita City Council member James Clendenin, on the current state of the Joyland amusement park The old Six Flags New Orleans site is sitting deteriorating,” Slade said, adding that the parks are “all sitting idle because nobody has money.”

Joyland owner Margaret Spear and her late husband, Stan Nelson, bought the park in the 1970s and closed it permanently after the 2006 season in part because of dwindling attendance. They put the park up for sale, asking $2 million. Later, the price dropped to $1 million, after the Nelsons sold some land and rides.

The site is now dilapidated; an arson fire destroyed a building in 2011.

Weeds and trees are overgrown.

“It’s horrible; it’s absolutely horrible,” District 3 council member James Clendenin said of the park’s current state. “And that’s putting it lightly.”

But East, who visited the park with family and first rode the wooden roller coaster there at age 2, has been determined to restore the site and hopes to operate it as a nonprofit amusement park.

Neighbors support the project.

“The neighborhood thought is it (restoration) can happen, but it will take a major effort,” said the Rev. Al Rose, an area resident and secretary of the Planeview neighborhood association. “... In a developed status, it could be a tremendous asset to the community.”

3 police officers injured in busy weekend of calls

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Three Lawrence police officers suffered injuries during two incidents last weekend, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a police spokesman.

McKinley said none of the officers was hospitalized.

Two officers were injured after two men were arrested during a disturbance early Saturday at Fuzzy’s Tacos, 1115 Mass. McKinley said one of the officers had bruises and abrasions to his knee and a shoulder injury from a struggle. One person grabbed the officer as he assisted in the arrest of a suspect. A second officer received injuries to his hand, wrist and both knees while taking a suspect into custody.

A third officer was injured about two hours later as police investigated an aggravated battery that occurred in the 1400 block of Apple Lane.

A 26-year-old female suffered facial injuries during the incident and was treated at Lawrence

Memorial Hospital.

When police arrived, a man fled the area, so police set up a perimeter. One officer was injured after a foot pursuit.

When police apprehended the 18-year-old Lawrence man, officers determined he was not the suspect but a witness to the aggravated battery, McKinley said.

The witness was arrested on an obstruction charge, but prosecutors have not yet filed formal charges against him.

He posted $750 bond and was given notice to appear in court July 13 if he’s formally charged. Police on Monday had not located the suspect in the aggravated battery.

In another incident, a man who allegedly possessed methamphetamine made his way into a fire station and stayed there for about seven hours before he was arrested Sunday morning.

McKinley said firefighters at the station, 3708

W. Sixth St., trapped the suspect in a room about 5 a.m. Sunday. Police arrested a 37-year-old man, Kristopher Pete McDonald, without incident. The suspect had a Topeka address listed in jail records, and police also described him as a transient.

Officers determined the man had likely entered the bay doors of the station about 10 p.m. Saturday and remained there throughout the night.

McKinley said separately from possessing methamphetamine, McDonald was accused of taking medication from inside the station and items from a firefighter’s personal vehicle parked outside.

Police found the man in possession of firefighter pants and a shirt.

Douglas County prosecutors Monday charged McDonald with aggravated burglary, vehicle burglary and possession of a controlled substance.

Fewer wiretap approvals sought

By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

WICHITA — The number of law enforcement requests for federal and state court-approved wiretaps fell last year by 14 percent nationwide, while Kansas remained relatively steady amid aggressive narcotics investigations.

Federal judges in Missouri approved half as many wiretaps as a year earlier.

The latest report by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, or AOUSC, shows 2,732 intercepts were approved last year by federal and state courts. Federal authorities accounted for 792 wiretaps, while 1,940 wiretaps requests came from the 25 states that provide reports.

Judges in the two federal judicial districts in Missouri together approved a total of 23 wiretaps in 2011, down from 46 the prior year. Most of the drop came in the Western District of Missouri — where just six wiretaps were authorized last year, compared with 26 in 2010.

David Ketchmark, the acting U.S. attorney in the Western District of Missouri, said in an email that the number of wiretaps “will naturally ebb and flow,” depending on the number and nature of investigations. He said he could not discuss details of investigations that were being conducted.

The numbers remained far more consistent in Kansas, where federal judges authorized 22 wiretaps in 2011, compared with 25 the year before. All of the 2011 wiretap requests in Kansas involved narcotics investigations and were on portable devices, a category that includes cellphones.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Kansas said he wouldn’t have any details this week on its wiretap convictions or the criteria prosecutors use in deciding when to use wiretaps.

It’s difficult to determine the results of wiretaps because prosecutors don’t report arrests or convictions in the same year that the taps are authorized. Instead, they report the outcomes for taps that expired in a previous year.

One of the largest investigations in Kansas was a wiretap operation that ran 172 days in 2010 and intercepted the conversations of 253 people.

Nearly 15,600 conversations were intercepted, including about 4,400 that were considered incriminating. The operation cost nearly $350,000 and led to 17 convictions.

Another was a 2009 Kansas wiretap operation, first

disclosed in the court’s recent report, which intercepted some 2,585 communications involving 86 people. About 160 of those were considered incriminating, leading to the arrests of 21 suspects. Its cost was not reported.

Nationwide, most of the drop in use of wiretaps was in federal cases. The number of applications approved by federal judges fell 34 percent in 2011, while those approved by state judges fell 2 percent.

AOUSC said the reduction resulted mostly from

a drop in applications for intercepts in narcotics offenses across the nation.

By far, authorities across the nation favor portable devices such as cellphones for wiretaps. Some 2,674 federal and state wiretaps were authorized for portable devices last year, compared with 13 for homes and six for businesses. Another 20 requests involved multiple locations.

About 85 percent of the requests for wiretaps nationwide cited illegal drugs as the offense under investigation.

People who fail to obtain health insurance as required by the law will face a tax penalty, although that’s expected to hit relatively few because the vast majority of Americans have insurance and many who don’t will end up getting it. Also, a 10 percent tax has been imposed on tanning bed use as part of the health care law. There are no other across-the-board tax increases in the law, although some tax benefits such as flexible savings accounts are scaled back.

Obama: “Because of the Affordable Care Act, young adults under the age of 26 are able to stay on their parents’ health care plans, a provision that’s already helped 6 million young Americans.”

The facts: Obama is overstating this benefit of his health law, and his own administration knows better. The Department of Health and Human Services, in a June 19 news release, said 3.1 million young adults would be uninsured were it not for the new law.

Obama’s number comes from a June 8 survey by the Commonwealth Fund, a health policy foundation.

It said 6.6 million young adults joined or stayed on their parents’ health plans who wouldn’t have been able to absent the law.

Romney: “Obamacare is a job-killer.”

The facts: The CBO estimated in 2010 that the law would reduce the amount of labor used in the economy by roughly half a percent.

But that’s mostly because the law will give many people the opportunity to retire, stay at home with family or switch to parttime work, since they will be able to get health insurance more easily outside of their jobs. That voluntary retreat from the workforce, made possible by the law’s benefits, is not the same as employers slashing jobs because of the law’s costs, as Romney implies.

Fatal crash grounds key part of firefighting fleet

By Dan Elliott and Mead Gruver Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — The deadly crash of a military cargo plane fighting a South Dakota wildfire forced officials to ground seven other Air Force air tankers, removing critical firefighting aircraft from the skies during one of the busiest and most destructive wildfire seasons ever to hit the West.

The C-130 from an Air National Guard wing based in Charlotte, N.C., was carrying a crew of six and fighting a 6.5-squaremile blaze in the Black Hills of South Dakota when it crashed Sunday, killing at least one crew member and injuring others.

President Barack Obama offered thoughts and prayers to the crew

“

You’ve basically lopped off eight air tankers immediately from your inventory, and that’s going to make it tougher to fight wildfires.”

— Mike Archer, who distributes a daily newsletter of wildfire news and their families. “The men and women battling these terrible fires across the West put their lives on the line every day for their fellow Americans,” he said in a statement.

The crash cut the number of large air tankers fighting this summer’s outbreak of wildfires by one-third.

The military put the remaining seven C-130s on an “operational hold,” keeping them on the ground indefinitely. That

left 14 federally contracted heavy tankers in use until investigators gain a better understanding of what caused the crash.

“You’ve basically lopped off eight air tankers immediately from your inventory, and that’s going to make it tougher to fight wildfires,” said Mike Archer, who distributes a daily newsletter of wildfire news.

“And who knows how long the planes will be down?” he said, adding that investigators will take time to make their conclusions.

C-130 air tankers have crashed on firefighting duty before. In 2002, a privately owned civilian version of an oldermodel C-130 crashed in California, killing three crew members. The plane broke up in flight, and an investigation blamed fatigue cracks in the wings.

Egypt’s new president claims mantle of revolution

By Maggie Michael Associated Press

CAIRO — Standing before tens of thousands of adoring supporters in Tahrir Square, President Mohammed Morsi opened his jacket in a show of bravado to prove he was not wearing a bulletproof vest. The message was clear: He has nothing to fear because he sees himself as the legitimate representative of Egypt’s uprising.

In the week since he was named president, Morsi has portrayed himself as a simple man, uninterested in the trappings of power and refusing to take up residence in the presidential palace His speeches reveal a populist bent, filled with generous promises many are skeptical he can keep.

And although he began as an awkward and uninspiring speaker, Morsi appears to be striving to reinvent his uncharismatic public persona.

EGYPT’S PRESIDENT MOHAMMED MORSI OPENS HIS SUIT JACKET to show to his supporters that he is not wearing body armor at Tahrir Square, the focal point of Egyptian uprising, during his speech in Cairo. runoff, Morsi has claimed the mantle of the revolution that ousted Hosni Mubarak last year.

But his Muslim Brotherhood did not join the uprising until it had gained irreversible momentum. And its critics say the Islamic fundamentalist group has hijacked the movement that was led by secular and liberal youths, and abandoned demonstrators during deadly clashes with se-

curity forces in the months that followed Mubarak’s February 2011 ouster.

“He knows that he did not come to power because voters liked him.

But the general impression in the street now is that he is a kind and simple man who came from a simple family. This is reassuring to many people,” said Karima Kamal, a minority Christian activist and writer said.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable U.S. manufacturing shrank in June for the first time in nearly three years, adding to signs that economic growth is weakening.

Production and exports declined, and the number of new orders plunged, according to a monthly report released Monday by the Institute for Supply Management.

The slowdown comes as U.S. employers have scaled back hiring, consumers have turned more cautious, Europe faces a recession and manufacturing has slowed in big countries like China.

The trade group of purchasing managers said its index of manufacturing activity fell to 49.7. That’s down from 53.5 in May. And it’s the lowest reading since July 2009.

GlaxoSmithKline to pay $3 billion for health fraud

By Jesse J. Holland Associated Press

WASHINGTON — GlaxoSmithKline LLC will pay $3 billion and plead guilty to promoting two popular drugs for unapproved uses and to failing to disclose important safety information on a third in the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history, the Justice Department said Monday.

Accompanying the criminal case was a civil settlement in which the government said the company’s improper marketing included providing doctors with expensive resort vacations, European hunting trips, high-paid speaking tours and even tickets to a Madonna concert.

The $3 billion combined criminal-civil fine will be the largest penalty ever paid by a drug company, Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole said. The corporation also agreed to be monitored by gov-

DILBERT

ernment officials for five years to attempt to ensure the company’s compliance, Cole said.

“Let me be clear, we will not tolerate health care fraud,” Cole told a news conference at the Justice Department. He would not say whether any company executives were under investigation.

The company’s guilty plea and sentence have to be approved by a federal court in Massachusetts.

“For far too long, we have heard that the pharmaceutical industry views these settlements merely as the cost of doing business,” Acting Assistant Attorney General Stuart F. Delery, head of Justice’s civil division, said at the news conference. “That is why this administration is committed to using every available tool to defeat health care fraud.”

Delery added, “Today’s resolution seeks not only to punish wrongdoing and recover taxpayer dollars, but

to ensure GSK’s future compliance with the law.” He noted that a similar recent settlement with Abbott Laboratories also included continuing compliance monitoring.

GlaxoSmithKline CEO Sir And r e w Witty expressed r e g r e t and said they have learned “from the Witty mistakes that were made.”

“Today brings to resolution difficult, longstanding matters for GSK,” he said in a statement. “Whilst these originate in a different era for the company, they cannot and will not be ignored.”

Crimes and civil violations like those in the GlaxoSmithKline case have been widespread in the pharmaceutical industry and have produced a series of case with hefty fines.

Syrian opposition makes Evidence of ‘God particle’ found new push to unite ————

By Aya Batrawy and Elizabeth A. Kennedy Associated Press

CAIRO — The Arab League chief urged exiled Syrian opposition figures to unite at a meeting Monday as a new Western effort to force President Bashar A s s a d from power faltered. Assad Another 85 soldiers, including a general, fled to Turkey in a growing wave of defections.

Turkey’s state-run Andolou news agency said the group of defectors also included 14 other officers, ranging from one colonel to seven captains. It is one of the largest groups of Syrian army defectors to cross into Turkey since the uprising against Assad began.

The stakes are high for calming the crisis in Syria, which NATO SecretaryGeneral Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Monday called “one of the gravest security challenges the world faces today.”

But more than one year into the Syrian revolt, the opposition is still hobbled by the infighting and fractiousness that have prevented the movement from gaining the kind of political traction it needs to present a credible alternative to Assad.

“There is an opportunity before the conference of Syrian opposition today that must be seized, and I say and repeat that this opportunity must not be wasted under any circumstance,” Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby told nearly 250 members of the Syrian opposition at the opening of the two-day conference in Cairo.

“The sacrifices of the Syrian people are bigger

than us and more valuable than any narrow differences or factional disputes,” he said.

Nasser Al-Kidwa, deputy to U.N. special envoy Kofi Annan, said that unity of purpose and vision was “not an option, but a necessity if the opposition wants to bolster its popular support and trust and increase international support.”

The divisions are tied to issues at the heart of the revolution: whether to seek dialogue with the regime, whether outside military intervention is needed and what ideology should guide a post-Assad Syria.

Unlike Libya’s National Transitional Council, which brought together most factions fighting Moammar Gadhafi’s regime and was quickly recognized by much of the international community, Syria’s opposition has no leadership on the ground.

Announcement planned Wednesday

By John Heilprin and Seth Borenstein Associated Press

GENEVA — Physicists say they have all but proven that the “God particle” exists. They have a footprint and a shadow, and the only thing left is to see for themselves the elusive subatomic particle believed to give all matter in the universe size and shape.

Scientists at the world’s biggest atom smasher plan to announce Wednesday that they have nearly confirmed the primary plank of a theory that could restructure the understanding of why matter has mass, which combines with gravity to give an object weight.

The idea is much like gravity and Isaac Newton’s discovery: It was there all the time before Newton explained it.

But now scientists know what it is and can put that knowledge to further use.

The focus of the excitement is the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle long sought by physicists.

Researchers at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, say that they have compiled vast amounts of data that show the footprint and shadow of the particle, even though it has never actually been glimpsed.

But two independent teams of physicists are cautious after decades of work and billions of dollars spent. They don’t plan to use the word “discov-

ery.” They say they will come as close as possible to a “eureka” announcement without overstating their findings.

“I agree that any reasonable outside observer would say, ‘It looks like a discovery,’” said British theoretical physicist John Ellis, a professor at King’s College London who has worked at CERN since the 1970s. “We’ve discovered something which is consistent with being a Higgs.”

CERN’s atom smasher, the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider on the SwissFrench border, has been creating high-energy collisions of protons to investigate dark matter, antimatter and the creation of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang.

The phrase “God particle,” coined by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, is used by laymen, not physicists, more as an explanation for how the subatomic universe works than how it all started.

Rob Roser, who leads the search for the Higgs boson at the Fermilab in Chicago, said: “Particle physicists have a very high standard for what it takes to be a discovery,” and he thinks it is a hair’s breadth away. Roser compared the results that scientists will announce Wednesday to finding the fossilized imprint of a dinosaur: “You see the footprints and the shadow of the object, but you don’t actually see it.”

Twitter told to give up protester’s tweets NEW YORK — Twitter must give a court about three months’ worth of an Occupy Wall Street protester’s tweets, a judge said in a ruling released Monday after the company fought prosecutors’ demand for the messages.

Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Matthew A. Sciarrino Jr. rebuffed one of Twitter Inc.’s central arguments, which concerned who has rights to contest law enforcement demands for content posted on its site. But the judge said the company was right on a separate point that could require prosecutors to take further steps if they want to see one particular day of Malcolm Harris’ tweets and his user information.

Sciarrino also decided that he would review all the material he ordered turned over and would provide “relevant portions” to prosecutors.

New tool tests skills of kindergartners WASHINGTON — A new digital tool to test academic and behavioral skills will target students starting in kindergarten.

ACT, the organization that developed the ACT college-entrance exam, will start testing the tool in the fall. It will be available to schools starting in 2014. The tool tracks students’ career interests, academic performance and progress toward goals. It’s designed to follow students from kindergarten through high school.

Jon Erickson, president of ACT’s education division, said the goal is to identify and address gaps in skills needed for college and the workforce.

The assessment combines traditional testing with teacher-led projects to generate an instant, digital score.

throughout rest of the week

By Jessica Gresko and Matthew Barakat Associated Press

WASHINGTON — From North Carolina to New Jersey, nearly 1.8 million people still without electricity were asking the same question Monday evening: Why will it take so long to get the lights back on?

Nearly three full days after a severe summer storm lashed the East Coast, utilities warned that many neighborhoods could remain in the dark for much of the week, if not beyond.

Friday’s storm arrived with little warning and knocked out power to 3 million homes and businesses, so utility companies have had to wait days for extra crews traveling from as far away as Quebec and Oklahoma. And the toppled trees and power lines often entangled broken equipment in debris that must be removed before workers can even get started.

Adding to the urgency of the repairs are the sick and elderly, who are especially vulnerable without air conditioning in the sweltering triple-digit heat. Many sought refuge in hotels or basements.

Officials feared the death toll, already at 22, could climb because of the heat and widespread use of generators, which emit fumes that can be dangerous in enclosed spaces.

At the Springvale Terrace nursing home and senior center in Silver Spring, Md., generators were brought in to provide electricity, and airconditioning units were installed in windows in large common rooms to offer respite from the heat and darkness.

Residents using walkers struggled to navigate doors that were supposed to open automatically.

Nurses had to throw out spoiled food, sometimes over the loud objections of residents who insisted their melting ice cream was still good.

The lack of power completely upended many daily routines. Supermarkets struggled to keep groceries from going bad.

People on perishable medication called pharmacies to see how long their medicine would keep. In Washington, officials set up collection sites for people to drop off rotting food. Others held weekend cookouts in an attempt to use their food while it lasted. And in West Virginia, National Guard troops handed out food and water and made door-to-door checks.

When it comes to getting the power running again, all utilities take a top-down approach that seeks to get the largest number of people back online as quickly as possible.

First, crews repair substations that send power to thousands of homes and businesses. Next, they fix distribution lines. Last are the transformers that can restore power to a few customers at a time.

PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII — The U.S. Navy is resuming its practice of using old warships for target practice and sinking them in U.S. coastal waters after a nearly two-year moratorium spurred by environmental and cost concerns.

Later this month, three inactive vessels — Kilauea, Niagara Falls and Concord — will be sent to a watery grave off Hawaii by torpedoes, bombs and other ordnance during the Rim of the Pacific naval exercises, or RIMPAC. The military quietly lifted the moratorium on Sinkex, short for sinking exercise, last year after a review of the requirements, costs, benefits and environmental impacts of the program, the Navy said in a statement to The Associated Press.

It will be the first time since 2010 the Navy has used target practice to dispose of an old ship. Previous targets have ranged from small vessels to aircraft carriers such as the USS America, which was

U.S. nearing decision on new nuclear arms cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is edging toward decisions that would further shrink the U.S. nuclear arsenal, possibly to between 1,000 and 1,100 warheads, reflecting new thinking on the role of nuclear weapons in an age of terror, say current and former officials.

The reductions that are under consideration align with President Barack Obama’s vision of trimming the nation’s nuclear arsenal without harming national security in the short term, and in the longer term, elim-

inating nuclear weapons.

The White House has yet to announce any plan for reducing the number of nuclear weapons, beyond commitments made in the recently completed New Start treaty with Russia, which obliges both countries to reduce their number of deployed long-range nuclear warheads to no more than 1,550 by 2018. As of March 1, Russia had already dropped its total to 1,492 and the U.S. stood at 1,737.

Obama has been considering a range of options for additional cuts, including a

low-end range that would leave between 300 and 400 warheads. Several current and former officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations, said there appeared to be a consensus building around the more modest reduction to 1,000 to 1,100 deployed strategic warheads.

Officials have said in recent days that a decision could be announced this month. But given Republican criticism of any proposed further cuts and the heating up of the presidential elec-

tion campaign, the White House might put the decisions on hold until after November. The administration has indicated it would prefer to pursue further reductions as part of a negotiation with Russia, but some have suggested that reductions could be done unilaterally.

Any reductions are likely to stir opposition among Republicans in Congress, who believe Obama underestimates the importance of a stable nuclear deterrent, even though the cuts would likely save tens of billions of dollars.

more than three football fields long.

Conservation groups argue that the ghost ships should instead be recycled at a ship-breaking facility. Concerns about the long-lasting effects of toxic pollutants onboard the ships spurred a lawsuit by those groups to force the Environmental Protection Agency to better catalog and regulate Sinkex. The case, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, is ongoing.

The groups said they did not plan to seek an injunction to stop the Navy from restarting the exercises.

“We are appealing to the Navy to continue their moratorium at least until our case is heard,” said Colby Self of the environmental group Basel Action Network, which joined the Sierra Club in suing the EPA. “After the vessels hit the sea-bottom, it will be a little too late to redress damages to our precious marine resources.”

Dental needs Establishing a dental school in Kansas isn’t the only — or perhaps the best — way to address the need for dental care in the state.

I

t’s not surprising that a task force asked by the Kansas Board of Regents to determine whether Kansas needs its own dental school would confirm such a need, but is that the best strategy to deal with a shortage of dentists in rural areas of Kansas?

Even members of the Oral Health Care Task Force acknowledged that establishing a dental school would be expensive; a dental school would have startup costs of about $58 million and annual operating costs of about $19.5 million. Before moving forward on such a plan, Kansas should carefully assess whether it would have a significant impact on the number of dentists the state attracts.

Kansas already has a reciprocal agreement that allows Kansas students to pay in-state tuition to attend the dental school at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, which supplies many Kansas dentists. As a short-term strategy, the task force recommended the state purchase slots at UMKC and dental schools in Oklahoma and Nebraska that would be reserved for students who commit to practice in an underserved area of Kansas.

A more expedient and practical solution to the need for more dental care in rural areas may be the certification of dental practitioners who are not dentists but are trained to perform basic tasks, such as filling cavities. That was the reaction the Kansas Dental Project, which consists of health care advocacy organizations, had after learning of the task force’s findings.

“Kansas has a dental access crisis now.

We can’t afford to wait,” said Dr. Melinda Miner, a dentist in Hays. “Fort Hays State University has already agreed to educate and train registered dental practitioners in Kansas.” Within just a few years the university could be providing such graduates.

The practitioners would be dental hygienists who obtain additional education and training and pass a comprehensive exam, the Kansas Dental Project said. Their role would be similar to that played by nurse practitioners who provide care under the supervision of physicians. More than 40 state and national health and advocacy organizations have endorsed the RDP proposal, according to the group, but proposals to license dental practitioners in Kansas have failed to gain legislative approval.

Starting a dental school in Kansas would be an expensive proposition and wouldn’t necessarily guarantee a greater supply of dentists, particularly in the rural parts of the state that may not generate enough business to financially support a full dental practice.

A more practical approach for now is to combine approval of dental practitioners in the state with expanded efforts to attract graduates of dental schools in neighboring states.

The state shouldn’t spend millions to create a dental school before exploring other options to fill its dental needs.

N.H. becomes a battleground CHOCORUA, N.H. — And you thought the presidential politics story in New Hampshire ended six months ago.

But that was only the frontispiece, an evocative landscape like the famous one — silvery lake, soaring mountain, still one of the most stunning roadside attractions in this state — that the artist Thomas Cole painted here in 1827. It turns out there will be far more to the Granite State political story than even Mitt Romney, winner of the Republican primary in January, could have contemplated.

These days Romney, who served as governor in the neighboring state of Massachusetts and has a lakeside vacation house in Wolfeboro, a pleasant 40 minute drive from here, is running hard in New Hampshire again. So is Barack Obama, who took the state four Novembers ago.

Together the president, who was in Durham last week, and Romney, who was in Stratham only a few days earlier, are conducting an unlikely but vital battle for a mere four electoral votes. Both sides believe the November election will be that close.

A generation ago, no one would have thought that New Hampshire, with its sturdy Republican tradition, could possibly be a presidential battleground once the candidates, like characters in “Brigadoon,” a summer-stock favorite here for nearly a half century, packed up their dial telephones, index cards and metal buttons and moved on to the next stage.

Between Franklin Roosevelt’s last campaign in 1944 and Bill Clinton’s first in 1992, New Hampshire voted Republican every time but in the 1964 Lyndon Johnson landslide. Even then this county went for Barry Goldwater, the only one in New England to do so.

But since then this state, once resolutely red, has turned purple, which by a sort of perverse

“

Together the president, who was in Durham last week, and Romney, who was in Stratham only a few days earlier, are conducting an unlikely but vital battle for a mere four electoral votes. Both sides believe the November election will be that close.” poetic justice is the very color of the sky in Cole’s Chocorua oil landscape. Clinton won the state in 1992 by a hair, and then Gov. George W. Bush seized it by just as slim a margin — but would have lost both the state, and the 2000 election, had not Ralph Nader taken about 22,000 votes, almost all of them from Vice President Al Gore.

John Harrigan, a veteran North Country newspaperman, has described New Hampshire as “a jumbled geography of mountains, valleys and ridges, more than 90 percent woods and water, peopled by relatively few individuals, mostly unposted and open to all.” It is the openness that defines the place, even though its people are famously closed — to outside fashions and frippery.

Now it is open to changing colors, from red to blue and then back again twice, and the irony is that this year’s election is between two men who were defeated in primary fights here in 2008 and left for dead, only to recover,

ington, a flinty but effective advocate for budget restraint and low taxes.

Republicans have won 29 of the last 39 presidential elections here, but the Democrats are preparing a withering critique of Romney’s gubernatorial years and will attack what they describe as Republican obstructionism in the capital.

Ordinarily this is a pretty state in the autumn, all bright colors and crisp air and the bracing coolness of fresh apple cider at every farm stand.

But this fall will not be pretty.

That’s because both parties conduct significant primaries here, so the level of political organization is more developed than most anyplace else.

Indeed, politics has a different flavor here, befitting a state where it is possible, at Sherman’s Farm Stand in East Conway, to buy a quart of blueberry milk, which tastes better than it sounds.

The independent vote is important in New Hampshire primaries. Non-aligned voters can bounce from one party’s ballot to the other’s, assuring that both parties reach across the political spectrum in a way that they don’t elsewhere. In a general election, independents can provide a third or more of the votes. And the farther you get from the primary, the more the independent vote rises, because newly enrolled voters tend to be undeclared.

These independents are a highly motivated and highly courted part of the electorate.

So while the conventional wisdom renders the bigger states of North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado and Ohio as the big prizes in November, smart eyes also are on this state. As New Hampshire goes, so goes the nation — or so the theory goes in early summer. Pass the blueberry milk and prepare for battle.

Obama later that year and Romney in four years’ time.

The velocity of the change in staid old New Hampshire has been stunning, which is why Romney’s forces believe they will prevail here — a notion that has prompted Obama to intensify his organizational efforts.

Two years ago, Democrats controlled the state House (224-176) and the state Senate (14-10), only to become the victims of a stunning GOP surge that gave the Republicans overpowering margins in both, 293-104 in the House and 19-5 in the Senate. Meanwhile, the Republicans took back two congressional seats, elected a senator to an open seat and overturned a 3-2 disadvantage on the Executive Council, an institution with colonial antecedents and functions so peculiar and inscrutable that no other state has copied it, and now have a 5-0 margin there.

“This tells us,” says former Gov. John H. Sununu, White House chief of staff under the elder President Bush, “that if you run good candidates and put in the requisite effort on the ground, this can be a Republican state.”

Not so, says Raymond Buckley, an 18-year veteran of the state House who is chairman of the Democratic Party here. “That’s a lot of locker-room talk,” he says.

“They know they’re going to lose and are trying to pump themselves up for the big game. It’s very eighth grade of them, and it has really hurt the Republican brand.”

Republicans are planning to emphasize their nominee’s familiarity with the state and his opposition to taxes, part of the state’s unshakable orthodoxy since almost the beginning of time. Senior Republicans believe Romney’s profile has a happy resemblance to that of Judd Gregg, a former governor and senator who as a fiscal conservative had great credibility in Concord and Wash-

Silent auction?

To the editor, Leaving aside (for now) the question of whether the conservative Supreme Court’s “Citizen United” decision was politically motivated, perhaps someone would explain to me the benefit of having massive amounts of secretive (foreign?) money pumped into our electoral system at the federal, state and local levels. I would really like to hear how this is a good thing. For this man, it feels like what we’ve done is replace a political system with a silent auction. Perhaps we should really enjoy the upcoming 4th of July, while it still means something.

Daniel Patrick Schamle, Lawrence

Get a grip To the editor: This is regarding the rec center, although I prefer the spelling “wreck.” It is just getting more amusing as the days go by.

Why don’t we just call it the “Wreck Center Theme Park,” build a couple of hotels, parking structures and a lazy river around the perimeter. Fence it all in, add a few rides and charge $75 to $100 a day.

Then we wouldn’t have to worry about who would pay for landscaping, gardeners, a couple hundred employees with benefits, the gas, electric and phones. Not to forget the grounds upkeep, separate from gardeners, the equipment purchases and upkeep, taxes and other unthought-of incidentals. Then maybe taxes wouldn’t have to be raised on all of us not-so-wealthy retirees and all of the other residents without an abundance of extra cash.

Let us get a grip here and remember “want” as compared to “need.”

Chris Taber, Lawrence

TORONTO — Mike Moustakas snapped out of his slump, and then some.

Moustakas hit his first career grand slam, Everett Teaford pitched seven innings for his first win of the season and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-3 on Monday night.

Hitless in 14 at-bats after going 0 for 8 in Saturday’s doubleheader at Minnesota, Moustakas was held out of Sunday’s series finale, with Royals manager Ned Yost giving him a chance to “catch his breath.”

Moustakas must have breathed deeply.

Moustakas After striking out his first time up, he hit an RBI double the next time. He then launched a grand slam to highlight Kansas City’s five-run seventh, giving him a career-best five RBIs. “It was really cool,” Moustakas said. “I got a good pitch to hit, got a fastball over the middle of the plate and just tried not to do too much with it.”

Moustakas said teammates and hitting coach Kevin Seitzer had been trying to keep him encouraged, but nothing helped more than snapping his hitless streak with his third-inning double.

“That was big,” he said. “It helped me a lot.”

Salvador Perez added a two-run homer as the Royals ended a three-game losing streak, matched their season high with 14 hits and beat Toronto for the first time in five meetings this season.

Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 27th home run and Colby Rasmus hit a solo shot off the facing of the fifth deck but it wasn’t enough for the Blue Jays, who lost for the fifth time in seven games.

Teaford (1-0) allowed three runs and five hits for his first win since last September. He walked two and struck out two.

“For the most part I thought he pitched very, very well,” Yost said. “I’m very pleased with him.”

Teaford said Kansas City’s offensive outburst made his job easy.

“When you get 11 runs, it’s easy to pitch,” Teaford said.

Kelvin Herrera worked the eighth and Tim Collins finished in the ninth as the Royals won for the fifth time in eight games.

Ricky Romero (8-3) lost at home for the first time in almost a year, giving up eight runs and a season-high 11 hits in six-plus innings. Romero, who suffered consecutive losses for the first time this season, also allowed eight runs in last Wednesday’s loss at Boston.

A downcast Romero said he’s working hard between starts, but still feels as if he’s stuck in quicksand.

“Every time you just keep getting deeper and deeper and you don’t know how to get out of it,” he said.

Romero came in unbeaten in 14 starts at Rogers Centre since losing a 4-1 decision to the Yankees on July 16, 2011, and was handed an early lead when Brett Lawrie scored on Yunel Escobar’s bases-loaded groundout in the first.

“Teaford did a great job of getting out of that first inning only giving up one,” Yost said. “That could have been some damage right there.”

Romero couldn’t hold the lead, however, and Perez

LAWRENCE HIGH QUARTERBACK BRAD STRAUSS, RIGHT, WORKS OUT with former Kansas University quarterback Jordan Webb on Friday at LHS. Strauss has tried to prepare for his senior season in the fall by spending much of the spring and summer training with Webb.

LHS’ Strauss develops game with ex-KU QB Webb

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Early this year, as a junior still months away from the start of his senior football season at Lawrence High, quarterback Brad Strauss sat down with his coach, Dirk Wedd.

The coach wanted to talk to his all-Sunflower League QB about the fall, with the primary topic being what it would take to make sure Strauss had the best senior year possible.

Basically, the two came up with the high school equivalent of spring football. Strauss would spend as much of his spare time as he could working on his game — from footwork to arm strength, and everything in between.

The next step for Wedd was finding the right person to work with Strauss, because high school coaches are limited in how much they can instruct players during certain parts of the offseason.

That’s where former Kansas University quarterback Jordan Webb came in. The LHS coach

“

There’s a lot of kids that would have as much success as he’s had in his high school career (and) kind of sit back, enjoy life. He just rolled up his sleeves.”

— Lawrence High football coach Dirk Wedd on Lions quarterback Brad Strauss knew Webb, who left the KU football program in January but had no intention of giving up on his college career, would want to keep his skills fresh. Wedd gave the QB a call and let it be known Lawrence had a bunch of receivers he could throw to if he wouldn’t mind working with the Lions’ signal-caller in the process.

In early March, Webb and Strauss started working out together two or three times a week at LHS. They kept at it through June. Wedd said the workouts have helped Strauss immensely.

“There’s a lot of kids that would have as much success as he’s had in his high school career (and) kind of sit back, enjoy life,” the Lions coach said. “He just rolled up his sleeves.”

Both Strauss and Webb are listed at 6 feet tall, making Webb’s insight even more helpful.

“Him and I are both smaller quarterbacks,” Strauss said, “so we’ve gotta be able to move around and create throwing lanes.”

Webb, who is transferring to Colorado, said the workouts were helpful for him, as well. He eventually wants to become a coach and enjoyed working with a high school player who was eager to improve.

“Any day that I call him up, he’s ready to throw,” Webb said. “It’s refreshing to see that.”

Preparing for his senior year is just one benefit of the workouts for Strauss, who has communicated with various college coaches about playing

at the next level. He said they all want to see tape from his first few games of the upcoming season and go from there.

“I’m interested in just about everywhere right now.

They’re just not interested in me,” Strauss joked.

An experienced NCAA Division I FBS quarterback, Webb said Strauss has the tools to play at that level.

“First of all, his work ethic is gonna take him places,” Webb said. “Physically, he’s got a great arm; athletically, quick feet, fast kid. And he’s a really good leader. You can just tell the guys respect him.”

The LHS receivers have spent more time with the quarterback than anyone.

Strauss began organizing throwing sessions with them back in January, before they joined in on the sessions with Webb.

“We have a good bond and a good connection,” Strauss said of the receiving corps, Please see STRAUSS, page 3B

Friends remember KU coach Floyd Temple

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

A proud but humble member of the United States military, Floyd Temple never spoke to his Kansas University baseball players about his being awarded a Purple Heart in World War II. “I don’t know how we knew about it, but we all knew he was a Marine — put it that way,” Lee Ice, captain for Temple’s 1977 and ‘78 KU teams, said of his “tough but fair” coach, who died on Friday at the age of 86.

Services are set for 1 p.m., today, at Plymouth Congregational Church.

“It didn’t matter if you were playing hearts or spades in the van on long road trips or Tiddlywinks ... coach Temple did not want to lose,” Ice added of Temple, who compiled a 438-395 record at KU from 1954 to ‘81.

SERVICES FOR FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASEBALL COACH FLOYD TEMPLE, seen here in this file photo from May 2009, will be held at 1 p.m. today at Plymouth Congregational Church. Temple died on Friday at age 86. at times, but we competed as a team in between the white lines. Coach Temple was very demanding. He expected hard work. The military background he had and being a football coach (assistant on KU staffs of Jack Mitchell, Pepper Rodgers, and Don Fambrough) as

well ... we took the field and felt we had an opportunity to win because of the toughness he instilled with us.”

Ice has first-hand knowledge of Temple’s will to win.

He was one of a handful of Jayhawks asked — OK, ordered — to play the coach in games of racquetball after

especially tough baseball practices.

Those were the days handball and racquetball courts were located in Parrott Athletic Center — located a stone’s throw from Quigley Field, now Hoglund Ballpark.

“Coach would ask for volunteers — or call out any two players — and get on the racquetball court, two against one,” Ice said. “Myself, (Carl) Heinrich, (Monty) Hobbs, (Ron) MacDonald ... if you stood in his way, he’d hit you,” Ice said with a laugh.

“Sometimes he’d spot you 10 points. He truly loved to compete. That’s what he instilled in us as players. If you go play the game, you play to win and shouldn’t like losing. One time we played in a tournament at K-State and beat a team we were supposed to beat.

We came home from the game and practiced. Coach Please see TEMPLE, page 3B

WIMBLEDON

TODAY • at Toronto, 6:07 p.m.

WEDNESDAY • at Toronto, 6:07 p.m.

Sharapova falls on ‘Manic Monday’ WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND (AP) — All at once, there was a frenzy of activity at a wet and windy All England Club early Monday afternoon.

Top-seeded and 2004 Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova, a big hitter in her own right, was overpowered in a 6-4, 6-3 loss to No. 15 Sabine Lisicki. Four-time title winner Serena Williams was locked in a three-set tussle against a wild-card entry from Kazakhstan who is ranked 65th but is responsible for the only perfect set in women’s professional tennis. Defending champion Petra Kvitova was trying to come back after dropping her opening set.

Oh, and over on Centre Court, there was the not-so-insignificant matter of 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer’s medical timeout to get treatment for his aching back.

The start of Week 2 at Wimbledon has been dubbed “Manic Monday,� because it’s the only major tournament that schedules all 16 fourth-round singles matches on one day.

Sure lived up to that moniker this year, even if rain prevented five of the eight men’s matches from finishing.

The most newsworthy result was the abrupt end of Sharapova’s bid to become the first woman since Williams in 2002 to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year.

Less than a month after completing a career Grand Slam in Paris to return to No. 1, Sharapova bowed out against someone she had beaten the three other

U.S. hoops set, despite mounting injuries The Associated Press

The U.S. plans to stick with its short-handed men’s Olympic basketball team — at least for now.

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said Monday he has no plans to make any additions to the roster, despite another wave of injuries. “At this moment we do not have any plans to add anyone,� he said. “We may very well be seeking permission to add someone else.�

Even so, there’s no guarantee it would be granted. The Americans already were granted one extension by the U.S. Olympic Committee to add Anthony Davis and James Harden to their group of finalists after the deadline has passed for players to be entered in the drug testing pool.

Miami’s Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have since pulled out with injuries, Lamar Odom dropped out Monday to rest up and focus on his first season back with the Los Angeles Clippers, and Davis sprained his ankle working out with the New Orleans Hornets over the weekend. Colangelo said the U.S. would still like Davis to come to training camp in Las Vegas so it could stay on top of his situation.

Even if the No. 1 pick can’t play this week and make the 12-man roster, Colangelo wants the alternates to be ready just in case they’re needed later this summer.

The original pool of 20 finalists was named in January, and the 12-player roster was to be selected June 18. However, when Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose were added to the previous losses of Chauncey Billups and LaMarcus Aldridge, USA Basketball made the two additions and was given until July 7 to name its roster for London.

The remaining healthy Americans will hold their first practice on Friday and will unveil the roster Saturday night during a program on NBA TV.

When he returned, his play didn’t appear to suffer all that much, other than slower-thanusual serves. On the other hand,

Phelps won’t try to match eight golds in London OMAHA, NEB. — There won’t be a Beijing repeat in London. Michael Phelps has dropped one of his eight Olympic races.

Phelps’ coach, Bob Bowman, announced Monday on the final day of the U.S. swimming trials that Phelps was scratching the 200-meter freestyle, leaving him with seven events at the London Games. The decision removes the chance of Phelps matching the record eight gold medals he won in Beijing. “It makes sense,� Bowman said. “No one should be expected to do that twice. Once was more than enough.�

Phelps qualified in five individual events for London and is expected to swim all three relays.

But he’s decided to focus on the 200 and 400 individual medley and the 100 and 200 butterfly.

OLYMPIC TRIALS

Runner pulls out of track runoff EUGENE, ORE. — It will be remembered as the most anticipated race never run. The runoff that turned into a walk away to conclude the U.S. track trials.

Jeneba Tarmoh conceded the final Olympic spot in the 100 meters rather than meet training partner Allyson Felix at the starting line to break a third-place tie. She notified USA Track and Field early in the day of her intention to withdraw from the Monday night race, later saying it was simply because her heart wasn’t into the runoff.

In the original race on June 23, Tarmoh leaned across the finish line and looked up to see her name on the scoreboard in the third spot behind winner Carmelita Jeter and runner-up Tianna Madison. The 22-year-old Tarmoh then took a celebratory lap around the track, waving an American flag. She received a medal and held a news conference.

And then watched the moment evaporate as the race was ruled a dead heat. She was reluctant to take the line for a runoff from the start, especially since she believed she earned the final spot in the 100 fair and square. “Running in this (runoff) came down to how I felt internally. Would my heart be at peace running or would I not be at peace? If I was at peace, I would have run,� Tarmoh told The Associated Press on Monday night. “My heart was not at peace with running.�

In an email sent through her agent to USATF, Tarmoh officially conceded: “I understand that with this decision I am no longer running the 100m dash in the Olympic Games and will be an alternate for the event.�

Torres misses cut for London OMAHA, NEB. — Dara Torres lingered in the water after the other swimmers had climbed out.

Her long career was finally over.

The 45-year-old Torres came up short in her bid to make it to the Olympics for a sixth time.

She finished fourth in the final of the 50-meter freestyle Monday night, her only event at the U.S. swimming trials.

After winning three silver medals at the Beijing Olympics, Torres underwent radical knee surgery and put all her hopes into a chaotic dash from one end of the pool to the other. But Jessica Hardy won in 24.50 seconds, while Kara Lynn Joyce took the other Olympic spot in 24.73.

Torres missed a trip to London by nine-hundredths of a second, also touching behind thirdplace Christine Magnuson (24.78).

PRO BASKETBALL

Howard asks for trade again ORLANDO, FLA. — Magic general manager Rob Hennigan says that Dwight Howard told him in a face-to-face meeting last week that he would like to be traded, and that his preference is to be dealt to the Brooklyn Nets.

Hennigan said Monday that Howard singling out one team complicates potential trade scenarios, but he has not committed to honoring that demand and said he will keep communication lines open between both the All-Star and his agent.

Howard asked to be traded last season, then opted-in for 2012-2013 — forgoing becoming a free agent this summer.

Nets trade for Hawks All-Star A person familiar with the deal tells the AP the Hawks and Nets have agreed to a trade that would send All-Star guard Joe Johnson from Atlanta to Brooklyn.

The Nets will send guards Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar and DeShawn Stevenson and forwards Jordan Williams and Johan Petro to the Hawks, along with a draft pick Brooklyn received from Houston.

The person confirmed the trade on condition of anonymity because it cannot become official until Stevenson signs as a free agent with Brooklyn. Free agents cannot be signed until July 11.

The Hawks also have agreed to deal forward Marvin Williams to the Utah Jazz for point guard Devin Harris, according to Utah CEO Greg Miller.

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Italian club signs Langford

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University guard Keith Langford has signed a two-year contract with EA7 Emporio Armani Milano, a professional basketball team based in Milan, Italy, the team announced Monday.

Terms were not disclosed. However, Sportando.net recently reported that the squad was offering well over $1 million a year, perhaps up to $1.5 million. Langford’s former team, Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv of Israel, reportedly offered him $800,000 for the 2012-13 season.

Langford, 28, averaged 10.8 points and 2.0 assists in 20 Euroleague games last season for Maccabi.

He averaged 14.2 ppg in 22 games in the Israeli Premier League, earning allIsraeli guard of the year honors by Eurobasket. com. He was named MVP of the Adriatic League Final Four after averaging 19 points off 61.9 percent shooting. He helped Maccabi win the Adriatic League, Israeli League and Israeli Cup. Prior to joining Maccabi, the 6-foot-4 Langford played two seasons for B.C. Khimki in Russia. He averaged a league-leading 18.7 ppg in 2010-11 and 15.5 ppg in 2009-10.

Frankamp excelling: Future KU guard Conner Frankamp has averaged a U.S. team-leading 14.0 points a game through three games at the Men’s Under 17 world championships in Lithuania. Jabari Parker, a senior forward from Chicago’s Simeon High, is right behind at 13.7 ppg. Frankamp, a 6-1 senior from Wichita North, has made 65.5 percent of his shots, trailing only Justin Jackson of Canada (66.7 percent). He has made four of six threes for 66.7 percent, best mark of all players. He has eight steals in three games, ranking fourth overall, second on the U.S. team behind Joel

quickly put the Royals in front with his third homer, a two-out line drive that barely cleared the leftfield fence.

“He hit it so hard it didn’t think it had enough height to get out but it got out and that was huge,” Yost said. “It did turn the momentum around.”

Kansas City added two more in the third on backto-back RBI doubles by Yuniesky Betancourt and Moustakas.

Bautista made it 4-2 with a solo drive to center in the bottom half, but the Royals piled on with two more in the fourth. Alex Gordon’s RBI single drove in Perez and Jason Bourgeois scored on a wild pitch.

Rasmus cut it to 6-3 with a booming homer off Teaford in the fifth, a twoout drive that hit off the facing of the fifth deck in right field, his 16th of the season and second in two days.

Asked whether Rasmus’ drive was the longest home run he’s ever allowed, Teaford joked that he would “have to check air traffic control.”

scholarships and an opportunity to compete, then evaluate him. It is not a level table right now.’

“The board came in the meeting with the idea they’d get rid of Floyd.

They walked away and gave him more scholarships. From that time on, he did very well,” added Waugh, who thinks he knows why.

“Floyd was a great competitor, both as a player here in baseball and football (defensive back) and was that way as a coach,” Waugh said. “He was a good disciplinarian with kids and they loved him for it.”

Ice remembers playing for KU at a time Temple turned the program over to New York Yankee scout Russ Sehon in the fall. Salaries were such at

the time, Temple spent football season coaching football, to make extra money.

“He had no paid assistants,” Ice said. “He would rely on scouts to identify players throughout the state because the recruiting budget wasn’t very good.”

Ice said Temple taught him lessons he’s used in his own career. Ice, a former KU baseball assistant, now is softball coach at Free State High.

“I’ve taken a lot from him as far as coaching style and how I want to come across to kids,” Ice said. “The toughness he brought to the field whether arguing with the umps, the other team or even us ... from the time the game started until it was over ... he always had our backs.”

Ice said Temple, who also worked as Jayhawk assistant athletic director from 1981 to ‘92, was fiercely proud of KU. Despite failing health, he attended the final KUMissouri regular season baseball game on May 19 at Hoglund Ballpark.

Ice sat next to Temple for three innings that day.

“He wanted to beat Missouri. I know that,” Ice

said. “Coach wanted to win every game.”

Temple’s No. 13 was retired in 1982 and remains the only jersey number displayed on the outfield wall of Hoglund Ballpark.

“He was tough on kids but very fair with them.

They recognized that and performed for him,” said Waugh, who will be a speaker at services today.

Temple, who was born on February 3, 1926 in Coffeyville, is survived by wife Beverly (they were married on Aug. 15, 1948), son, George “Biff” (wife, Leslie) Temple of Granbury, Texas; daughter, Ann (husband, Bobby) Clark of Arlington, Texas; five grandchildren, Stephanie Temple, Kelly Ballard, Taylor Stapleton, Kaci Green, Brett Temple; and six great grandchildren.

The family suggests memorials in his name to Wounded Warrior Project, the American Cancer Society, or to the Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Foundation and may be sent in care of WarrenMcElwain Mortuary. Online condolences may be sent to www.warrenmcelwain.com

“It was nice to just give us a jump-start,” Hofer said. “A lot of schools aren’t out there doing that.”

Webb was impressed by the number of receivers who were dedicated to putting in work with the quarterbacks.

“You don’t see that a lot in high school,” he said, “so hopefully it pays off for them this year.”

Lawrence’s offseason progress stalled some-

what the first week of June, when Strauss injured his right ankle early on at Emporia State’s twoday team camp. The frustrated QB had just fully recovered from a more severe left-ankle injury he suffered in the fall and essentially had to watch the entire camp from the sideline. Making matters worse, LHS running back Tyrone Jenkins was injured, too, and backup QB Braxton Bressler broke an

ankle on the second day of the team camp.

Strauss is back feeling 100 percent now, and Jenkins has recovered, while Bressler is expected to miss some of the regular season.

With all the work they’ve put in, Strauss said the Lions can’t wait for the 2012 season to start.

“I feel like we’ve got something to prove,” he said, “myself personally and this team.”

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cardinals fly past Rockies ————

Colorado’s league-worst pitchers allow 9 runs Brewers 6, Marlins 5 MILWAUKEE — Pinch-hitter Norichika Aoki drove in the go-ahead run with a safety squeeze in the eighth inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Miami Marlins.

Rickie Weeks sparked the winning rally with a leadoff double. He moved up on Martin Maldonado’s single to right and scored when Aoki greeted Randy Choate with a bunt single that gave Milwaukee a 6-5 lead.

John Axford then pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 14th save.

The Associated Press

Cardinals 9, Rockies 3 ST. LOUIS — Allen Craig hit a pair home runs, Carlos Beltran extended his RBI streak to a major league high nine games and Kyle Lohse worked into the eighth inning of the St. Louis Cardinals’ victory over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

Matt Holliday had a homer and sacrifice fly and Jon Jay doubled and walked twice with a steal for the Cardinals, who punished a pitching staff that entered the game with a major league-worst 5.37 ERA. Tyler Colvin and Wilin Rosario homered for the Rockies, who have dropped five of seven. Rosario homered for the third straight game, but Colorado pitchers totaled four wild pitches, eight walks and an error that allowed a run.

Beltran, an NL All-Star game starter picked to participate in the home run derby, leads the league with 63 RBIs. He has 15 RBIs during the streak.

Craig has 13 homers and 43 RBIs in 40 games in a season abbreviated by injury. He was awarded a bonus RBI single by Major League Baseball on Monday after review of a play originally ruled a fielding error on the Marlins’ Jose Reyes at Miami on June 26.

Lohse (8-2) worked seven or more innings for his fifth straight start, striking out five and walking two in 7 1-3 innings. He’s 3-0 with a 2.29 ERA in three starts against the Rockies the last two seasons.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS’ ALLEN CRAIG, LEFT, ROUNDS THE BASES after hitting a two-run home run off Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Tyler Chatwood during the fifth inning on Monday in St. Louis.

Cubs 4, Braves 1 ATLANTA — Chicago’s Jeff Samardzija had a career-high 11 strikeouts, Luis Valbuena hit a tiebreaking three-run double in the seventh.

Anthony Rizzo connected for Chicago, which has won four straight and six of seven. Rizzo, one of the Cubs’ top prospects, has two homers in six games since he was recalled last Tuesday.

Samardzija (6-7) yielded one run and four hits in seven innings, rebounding from a rough June. The right-hander was 0-4 with a 12.27 ERA in his previous four starts, allowing a season-high nine runs during a 17-1 loss to the Mets on Wednesday.

Pirates 11, Astros 2 PITTSBURGH — Garrett Jones and Neil Walker hit back-to-back homers off the right-field foul pole to ignite Pittsburgh’s offense.

James McDonald (8-3) pitched seven effective innings for the Pirates, who won for the fifth time in six games.

Limited to one hit over the first three innings by Jordan Lyles, the first five Pirates to bat in the fourth had hits, highlighted by Jones’ two-run homer and Walker’s solo shot.

Jones finished with four hits and four RBIs, and Andrew McCutchen also went 4 for 5 for the Pirates.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Rays capitalize on Yanks’ error ————

New York loses, 4-3, as Teixeira overthrow leads to go-ahead run The Associated Press

Rays 4, Yankees 3 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — B.J. Upton and Carlos Pena homered and the Tampa Bay Rays took advantage of Mark Teixeira’s first error of the season to beat the New York Yankees on Monday night.

Pinch hitter Brooks Conrad’s RBI double with two outs in the seventh inning off David Robertson (0-3) made it 3-all.

Teixeira followed by misplaying Elliot Johnson’s sharp grounder over first base for his first error in 671 chances this year, enabling Conrad to score the go-ahead run.

Matt Moore (5-5) allowed three runs while scattering nine hits over seven innings to win his fourth straight decision.

The Rays stopped a twogame losing streak that had dropped them a season-high 7 1-2 games behind the first-place Yankees in the AL East.

Angels 3, Indians 0 CLEVELAND — Jered Weaver carried a shutout into the eighth inning, squirming out of a basesloaded jam in the seventh, to lead the Angels to a win over the Indians.

Weaver (9-1) allowed five singles, struck out two

and remained unbeaten in Cleveland. He’s 5-0 with 1.52 ERA in eight career starts at Progressive Field.

Scott Downs worked out of a mess in the eighth and pitched the ninth for his seventh save.

The Indians loaded the bases in the seventh off Weaver, who got a force at the plate, foul pop and strikeout to end Cleveland’s best threat.

The Angels improved to 16-3 on the road since May 22.

Dear Annie: My daughter has been married to a drug abuser for 10 years.

“Rob” can’t keep a job and sells everything on the premises for money to buy more drugs. He even took his 9-year-old daughter with him to trade her TV and other electronics for narcotics.

Rob has been in rehab three times and makes lots of promises, but always goes back to the drugs. My daughter has a responsible job. She has taken Rob’s name off of the checking accounts and credit cards, and she hides her purse and jewelry every night. She was unable to keep up the house payments, and they are in foreclosure. She is currently living in an apartment, and Rob lives with his parents. With my financial support, she has filed for divorce. So far, I have given her more than $3,000. She lives in another state and has emotional support from her

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

siblings and us by phone.

Here’s the problem. I feel like she is wavering.

She keeps talking about what a great dad Rob is when he’s sober and how hard the separation has been on the kids. I know how difficult it is for her to be a single mom. But I have told her that if she does not go through with the divorce, I will not help her again. Is this too harsh?

— Loving Mom, Disgusted Mother-in-Law Dear Mom: You are not obligated to support your daughter regard-

Reality TV runs in family Few employment opportunities are a lock in these uncertain times. But my unscientific survey indicates that if you’ve appeared on one reality show, you have a better-than-average chance of starring on another. Perhaps several. And if you are descended from a reality star (or a real star), your chances of another gig are all but certain. I call this Carnie Wilson Syndrome. But it could just as easily be labeled the Nicole Richie Effect.

As evidence, I offer “Haunted Highway” (9 p.m., Syfy), starring Jack Osbourne. In the “Addams Family” world of MTV’s “Osbournes” reality series, brother Jack was typecast as Pugsley to sister Kelly’s Wednesday. All four Osbournes have gone on to a multitude of cameos and starring gigs, most notably, their mom Sharon, who is a regular fixture on “America’s Got Talent.” Kelly has been on “Dancing With the Stars” and too many other shows to mention.

On “Highway,” Osbourne joins Jael de Pardo, Dana Workman and Devin Marble as they investigate paranormal tales in odd corners of these United States.

First up, a trip to Bear Lake, Utah, to look for the elusive Bear Lake Beast, said to be a 20-foot-long reptilian monster. Reported by multitudes, it’s never been caught on camera. Funny how that happens when you’re “elusive.”

In the weeks since “Highway” was produced and promoted, Osbourne has announced that he is suffering from numerous health ailments arising from multiple sclerosis.

Another example of second-generation reality stardom, “Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp” (9 p.m., Lifetime) documents how the famous daughter of the former Alaska governor raises her bundle of joy while living in a Beverly Hills mansion roughly the size of an Olive Garden restaurant that’s on loan from a family friend. Just how many people from Wasilla live in Beverly Hills?

Tonight’s episode takes Bristol, her sister Willow and their famous mother on a trip to our nation’s capital to appear at last February’s Conservative Political Action Conference.

Tonight’s other highlights

A headstrong Southern belle (Vivien Leigh) goes through three husbands while holding a torch for an unavailable man in the 1939 potboiler “Gone With the Wind” (7 p.m., TCM).

Ice-locked on “Deadliest Catch” (8 p.m., Discovery).

Jane wants Maura to meet her biological mother on “Rizzoli & Isles” (8 p.m., TNT).

BIRTHDAYS

Jazz musician Pete Fountain is 82. Attorney Gloria Allred is 71. Actor Kurtwood Smith is 69.

Actor Michael Cole (“The Mod Squad”) is 67. Humorist Dave Barry is 65. Actress Betty Buckley is 65. Actress Jan Smithers is 63.

less of the circumstances, but we are certain your financial assistance helps her to manage as a single parent. Still, she undoubtedly loves her husband and wants her children to have a fulltime father. Instead of issuing ultimatums, urge her to get into counseling to figure out why she continues to be drawn to someone so needy and incapable of being a true partner to her. Help her to be stronger so her choices will be better.

Dear Annie: During the past year, I have noticed that my 73-year-old mother-in-law seems to be losing her memory and becoming very rattled. She forgets where her son works, what day she is having dinner with us, and where her grandchildren attend school..

Her friends convinced her to see her internist, which she did. He gave her a series of general questions, which she an-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, July 3: This year your birthday falls on a Full Moon. Every action, decision and situation you are involved with seems to hold enormous intensity. If you are single, you could go through quite a few suitors until you feel comfortable. If you are attached, your partner could be challenging.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Whether you decide to lead or let others take charge, you still have considerable influence.

Others find you to be full of surprises and often see you doing the unexpected. Tonight: In the limelight.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Reach out for someone you care a lot about. You finally seem to be able to get past a naturally stubborn streak. Tonight: Take off ASAP. Gemini (May 21-June 20) You do offer a lot, but when others keep demanding more, you easily could lose your cool. Tonight: Make nice.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Understand what is happening within your immediate circle.

You might feel as if you are drained by the upcoming holiday celebrations. Tonight: Let the party begin.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to discuss alternatives. An adjustment could make you feel a lot better about your plans. Tonight: Pitch in and handle some errands.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could see a situation twist and turn. If you are unhappy, your reaction is to become very

jacquelinebigar.com

picky. Curb that attitude for the moment. Tonight: Respond to someone’s unexpected actions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If you can, try to plan extra time around your home or family. How you see a situation or someone in your daily life might not be in the best light at the moment.

Tonight: Do the unexpected.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination takes you in a different direction. Some people will be surprised by a change they see in you. Tonight: Ever spunky.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be a little too aware of the costs of a particular situation in your life. Granted, you would like to change it, but perhaps today you would be well advised to stay centered. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your need for a little more freedom and a little less responsibility weighs on your shoulders. Use care with how you express this need. Tonight: Surrounded by options.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Could you be overthinking a situation? It is possible, as you are choosing what factors to think about. Tonight: Be spontaneous, and you’ll get great results.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You feel the give-andtake of a growing relationship. Do not overreact to someone’s harsh words. Tonight: Be more childlike.

How can we get her to see another doctor when she is now convinced that she is perfectly healthy? We know something is going on, and it is just getting worse. — Want To Help Dear Want: The doctor should have tested her for executive functioning, which is probably a different test than the one he administered. However, it still may have been possible for her to pass any test if she was feeling OK and not under any stress.

Your mother could benefit from seeing a geriatrician, and we recommend you have a referral handy for the next time she is concerned enough about her memory that she is ACROSS amenable.
