A large brush and grass fire west of Langston Hughes School threatened several homes Thursday and led

to an order for residents in the area to evacuate.

The fire began about 10:25 a.m. Thursday, east of Kansas Highway 10 near the area where Bob Billings Parkway deadends, according to Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley.

As extreme heat and fire danger warnings spread across the northeast Kansas weather map, data from the Kansas State Climatologist’s Office confirm the obvious: it’s been really hot

and dry this year.

Every month in 2012 has been warmer than average, and precipitation is behind by about 4 inches through June compared with data from 1981 to 2011.

Here’s a look at some of the numbers:

Ruling on case could come at anytime

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

When it comes to the South Lawrence Trafficway project, Lawrence is used to waiting.

Both supporters and opponents of the project to build a bypass through the Baker Wetlands are finding the waiting game extends to the legal case surrounding the roadway, too.

The U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in mid-January heard a case regarding whether the road project had the necessary approvals to build through the Baker Wet- COURTS lands. Attorneys at the time had speculated a ruling could be issued by the court in 90 to 120 days. But as July 4 has come and gone, followers of the case are wondering when a decision may come.

A spokesman with the court said recently that only the three judges who heard the case have any clue to when a ruling may be issued.

“We don’t have any idea until the court tells us they have a judgment they are ready to have entered,” said Doug Cressler, chief deputy clerk for the 10th Circuit. “The timetable is related to so many variables, including the number and complexity of issues.”

Several observers had expected the South Lawrence Trafficway case to take longer than the normal 90 days for an appellate court ruling because the case file contained a staggering 8,000 pages of documents.

Recently, though, speculation had grown that if a ruling wasn’t made before July 4 that it likely would be at least another two months before a decision would be handed down. Speculation was that the judges were set to go on recess, leaving the case in limbo. Cressler, though, said such speculation wasn’t accurate.

“We don’t have any type of terms like the U.S. Supreme Court does,” Cressler said. “We decide cases all year round. A decision could be handed down anytime.”

JANE V. BARBER Jane V. Barber, 90, passed away peacefully at her home in Lawrence on July 3, 2012. She was born on July 27, 1921, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Nathan Thomas Veatch, Jr. and Amarette Weaver Veatch.

She had two siblings, Nancy Veatch, who died in childhood, and Aileen Veatch Callaway, who predeceased her in 1998.

Her great-grandfather and great-grandmother, Lathrop and Susan Bullene, were among the early settlers of Lawrence.

Lathrop Bullene established the Bullene Dry Goods Store in 1857, which was later sold to his son-in-law, A.D. Weaver, and became Weaver’s Department Store. Her uncle and aunt, Arthur B. Weaver and Nell DeHart Weaver, were well-known citizens of Lawrence for many years.

In 1915 her father, N.T. Veatch, Jr., co-founded Black & Veatch in Kansas City, today one of the largest engineering firms in the United States with over 100 offices worldwide.

She was graduated from Southwest High School in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1938. She was thereafter graduated from Bradford College in Haverhill, Massachusetts, in 1940, and the University of Kansas in 1942. Shortly after the Second World War she married Robert M. Murray, Jr., of Kansas City, to whom she was married until 1956. She thereafter married Richard A. Barber, of Lawrence, in 1960. They were married until his death in 1998.

She is survived by her children, Thomas V. Murray and Stephanie A. Murray, both of Lawrence, and her daughter-inlaw, Cindy Murray, also of Lawrence; two grandchildren, Anne

Emert and spouse Mark Emert, of Lawrence, and Thomas V. Murray, Jr. and spouse Lisa Murray, of Santa Monica, California; and her great-grandchild, Samuel Thomas Emert of Lawrence.

She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Lawrence, Pi Beta Phi sorority, the Chancellor’s Club, Chapter AZ of P.E.O., the Twentieth Century Club, the Amigas Club, the Lawrence Country Club, The River Club and the Jane Club. She was an extraordinarily kind and gentle person, and was involved in numerous philanthropic activities in Lawrence and Kansas City.

Services will be held on Monday, July 9, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church.

There will be no visitation.

Private burial will be at Oak Hill Cemetery.

The family suggests memorials to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association, the K.U. Endowment Association, and The Family Conservancy of Kansas City, Missouri, which may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary.

the fire from reaching the properties.

“It kindled pretty well with the wind,” Tolefree said, adding that fire crews tried to read the wind and the positions of the dry kindling in the area to prevent the fire from spreading.

The fire had also threatened Langston Hughes School, McKinley said. The school is closed for the summer, and no programs were under way in that building, according to Julie Boyle, the school district’s spokeswoman.

Erik Haden, building operator for Langston Hughes, was in the school when the fire was initially reported. He ran outside of the building and saw the massive flames nearby.

About five or six people were inside the school,

temperature was also reached in 1934, 1936 and 1980.

April, May and June all had less precipitation than average. June was the driest month with just 1.56 inches, compared with the average of 5.11 inches.

Lawrence has had 13.3 inches of precipitation in the first six months of 2012, more than 4 inches shy of the 17.69 inch average through June.

Lawrence is now in a severe drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, while other parts of the state are in an extreme drought.

The lack of rain is causing concern in the agricultural world, said Pat Slattery, National Weather Service spokesman.

“There’s a lot of corn and soybean fields just burning up right now,” Slattery said. Even if the rain picked up, it’d be too late to salvage the damage already sustained in the fields, he said.

And there doesn’t seem to be much relief in sight.

Temperatures are expected to reach into the 100s until Sunday. The chance of rain is slim, topping

and he ran back inside to make sure they left the school grounds.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before, this close to the building,” he said.

Haden gave credit to the emergency responders for their rapid and eff fective response.

“They contained it pretty quickly,” he said. “They did a heck of a job, that’s for sure. I’m just glad everybody’s safe.”

Megan Gilliland, a spokeswoman for the city of Lawrence, said the city diverted extra water to western Lawrence so that it would be available to firefighters. At the same time, she said, the city monitored water pressure in other areas of the city to ensure they did not lose pressure.

Homes in the 6200 block of Palisades Drive were evacuated, Tolefree said, though many residents weren’t home at the time of the fire. McKinley said nonessential police staff, including clerical

workers, detectives and others, assisted emergency personnel with the evacuation.

Scott Reinardy, who lives on Palisades Drive, saw the fire behind his home and began hosing down his backyard, as several of his neighbors were doing. Reinardy soon was told to evacuate.

“I grabbed a garbage bag and started throwing things in it,” he said.

Members of the Kanwaka, Wakarusa, Lecompton and Willow Springs township fire departments responded, and crews also received assistance from the Olathe and Lenexa fire departments.

Crews spent the afternoon putting out hot spots in the swath of burned land that stretched from Bob Billings Parkway to just south of Palisades Drive.

Furry friends need special consideration in extreme heat If you’re feeling the heat, it’s probably safe to assume your feline and canine critters, adorned with coats of fur, are also sweating.

Mary Berg, a veterinary technician at Gentle Care Animal Hospital, 601 Kasold Drive, said the main problems seen with animals during this kind of heat is heat stroke and exhaustion, as well as burned paws from hot pavement.

Berg provided these suggestions to keep pets safe in the heat:

If animals are kept outside, make sure there’s adequate shade and cool water. A kiddie pool can also be used to keep dogs cool.

Limit physical exercise with dogs, and out at a 30 percent chance Sunday.

The dry, hot weather could play a role is the possibility of a countywide burn ban, which requires approval by the County Commission, said Teri Smith, director of Douglas County Emergency Management. But Smith said the fire index has not increased in recent weeks, but a rise in grass fires —

shorten walks. Be conscious of hot pavement as well when walking.

If you don’t have air conditioning, leave a fan on for animals that are kept inside.

Pawsh Wash is also opening its doors at 1520 Wakarusa Drive for any dogs and owners who want to stop by and cool off. Call 856-7297 for hours.

City ordinance prohibits:

Leaving an animal in a vehicle for more than five minutes when it’s 80 degrees or warmer.

Leaving a dog outside on a leash for more than one hour. Dogs must also have a three-hour break between being leashed outdoors. seen throughout the county recently — could play a role in a burn ban decision.

The topic will most likely be raised at a regularly scheduled fire department meeting Thursday, Smith said.

“They’re following it closely,” Smith said.

Judges move to lessen costs in redistricting case ————

Almost $700,000 in fees and expenses being sought

By John Hanna Associated Press

Elvyn Jones/Journal-World Photo

AMY ADAMSON, LEFT, SAYS SHE IS GRATEFUL for the affection and treatment her 9-year-old son Eli has received from the Baldwin City community. Eli, hugged by his 13-year-old brother, Blake, is one of two children in Kansas diagnosed with the genetic condition Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome.

Community embraces boy with rare disorder

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.info

Last week, 9-year-old Eli Adamson thrilled his mother with the answer, “yeah.”

Amy Adamson said the exchange started when Eli put a key chain of communication picture cards on her lap.

“I said, ‘Are you asking me to watch a movie?’ He said ‘yeah,’” his mother said.

Although Eli isn’t completely nonverbal, the words he does share with his family are often nonsequitur phrases. The incident with the key chain was the second time in recent weeks he’s replied with an appropriate one-word answer to a question.

“There are little things every day that happen with that kid, and they are just little miracles,” Amy said.

She’s grateful for those moments, but Amy also knows those miracles grow from the hours of work that counselors, therapists and teachers provided Eli and the affection given to him from those at his school, the family’s Lighthouse Baptist Church and the Baldwin City community.

“

The people in our community, they treat Eli like a little celebrity. We are so blessed to be living in a community that is so compassionate.”

— Amy Adamson, mother of Eli “The people in our community, they treat Eli like a little celebrity,” she said. “We are so blessed to be living in a community that is so compassionate.”

“When we went to the Maple Leaf Festival carnival, my brother was amazed at all the children and adults who said hello to Eli, who talked to Eli and engaged with him.”

In the latest example of that compassion, the Baldwin City Lions Club gave a specially designed bicycle to Eli on June 27, his 9th birthday, Amy said.

Genetic testing revealed in December 2010 that Eli has Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome, a rare partial or total absence of the TCF4 gene. There are only two children in Kansas diagnosed with the syndrome and just 120 in the world.

That diagnosis came

Downtown getting new frozen yogurt, burrito businesses Editor’s note: These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s enormously popular Town Talk column that appears on LJWorld.com daily, Monday through Friday. The print edition of Town Talk appears frequently.

A few days ago, we reported on the city of Lawrence converting one of its pickup trucks to run on natural gas. Well, that’s not the only green-energy-vehicle project under consideration at City Hall.

My understanding is the city’s Eagle Bend Golf Course is seriously considering converting all of its golf carts to electric carts rather than the gasoline-fueled machines it currently uses.

The conversion would take place next year.

The project will involve adding 25 to 30 charging stations to the barn where carts are stored overnight.

Preliminary estimates pegged the conversion costs at $20,000. As for the carts themselves, they are leased. The city is nearing the end of a fiveyear lease period, and will need to lease new carts regardless of whether the conversion happens.

more than six years after 9-month-old Eli was first referred to Kansas University Hospital and Children’s Mercy Hospital subsequent to Amy and her husband, Scott, noticing he wasn’t as active or engaged as a normal baby.

The doctors there couldn’t help much, Amy said, and she and her husband passed on testing at that time because they didn’t want to put Eli through all the “poking and prodding” that genetic testing involved.

It was a sound decision because the test for PittHopkins Syndrome wasn’t developed until 2007.

Instead, the family started working with a succession of agencies, such as Please see ELI, page 4A

TOPEKA — Three federal judges who redrew political boundaries in Kansas have moved to limit the legal costs that the state will be forced to cover from a lawsuit over the Legislature’s failure to adjust the lines to ensure equal representation.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the defendants in the lawsuit, said Thursday they were pleased and encouraged by the judges’ latest order this week, which asks parties suing the state for more information about their expenses. The judges have requests from 19 individuals who want the state to cover nearly $700,000 in attorney fees and other expenses.

The judges drew new lines last month for congressional, legislative and State Board of Education districts after an impasse between conservative and moderate Republicans prevented lawmakers from passing any redistricting legislation. Many of the 27 people suing the state had competing interests, and the judges must decide who actually prevailed and how much of their costs must be covered by the state.

In their latest order, issued Tuesday, the judges told the parties to spell out how much of their costs came from presenting specific redistricting proposals in court and how much of those pro-

posals were reflected in the political maps ultimately drawn by the judges. The judges also said they would not consider all redistricting valid, limiting the state’s tab even further.

“I think it will reduce the number of claimants and the dollar amounts,” said Greg Musil, an Overland Park attorney who represented a Manhattan business leader.

The lawsuit was filed in early May by Robyn Renee Essex, a Republican precinct committee member from Olathe, but the judges allowed 26 other people to join her, including key figures in the Legislature’s impasse. Kobach was initially the only

ADJUSTABILITY

Town Talk

The one thing that has changed since I talked with Parks and Recreation leaders a few weeks ago is that gasoline prices have gone down a bit. Mark Hecker, superintendent for parks and facilities, told me electric carts pencil out better than gasoline carts anytime gasoline is at or above the $3.25 mark.

At $3.25 per gallon, the conversion project pays for itself in about three years.

While gasoline prices have gone down a bit, the city basically is betting on the long-term price of gasoline remaining above $3.25 per gallon.

I’ll be honest: My fruit intake has gone way down ever since Penny Annie’s

defendant — his office oversees elections under whatever districts are in place — but the judges allowed Schmidt to join him to represent the state on questions involving legal costs.

Last week, Schmidt asked the judges to rule first on which individuals were entitled to have their legal costs covered by the state and then decide on the amount for each. The judges rejected his request, but Schmidt said he was pleased nonetheless with their order, which gives the suing parties until July 11 to provide more information.

on his development. As it turned out, that was the right thing to do.”

“The school district has been extraordinary. I never got the feeling my child was a square peg trying to be fit in a round hole. His special-education teacher, as well as his therapists, get very excited about his success and progress.”

His schoolmates further enrich his educational experience, Amy said.

“His peers are phenomenal.” she said. “His teacher told me his classmates argue over who gets to sit next to Eli or help Eli.” Betsy Ulrich, Eli’s special-education teacher at school, said his schoolmates respond to Eli’s personality.

“I think everyone Eli meets, he somehow has the ability to put a smile

on their face,” she said.

“The strength of the relationship Eli has formed with is class is amazing.”

Ulrich gives Eli’s family credit, too. His 13-year-old brother, Blake, has a special bond with Eli, and his parents work very well with his therapists, she said.

Although his diagnosis didn’t change the approach to Eli’s therapy or individual education plan at school, it has been good for the family.

“We can now interface with families with other children who have been diagnosed,” Amy said.

“When we got the diagnosis, we went on Google and found pictures of children that look like Eli. We thought immediately, ‘Hey, these are Eli’s people.’

“We’re one of two families in Kansas with a child

with Pitt-Hopkins. We’re going to get together with them soon. That’s a really nice thing.”

The diagnosis also gave her peace of mind, Amy said.

“It let me know I didn’t do something wrong during my pregnancy,” she said. “I had a huge sense of guilt lifted from me.

There wasn’t anything I could have done to change the way he was supposed to be.”

She makes an effort to live in the moment and not dwell on the future, Amy said. But when she does look ahead, she sees Eli continuing to benefit from the good side of human nature.

“My dream and desire for him is that he will be around caring and compassionate people his whole life,” she said.

I’ve confirmed that TCBY — the frozen yogurt franchise — has reached a deal to open a store in the former Penny Annie’s space later this summer.

Area franchisee Ed Forman confirmed to me that he plans to have a TCBY open by early September. TCBY labels itself the first frozen yogurt shop in the country — opening a store in 1981 in Arkansas. Today, it has more than 450 stores across the country.

Forman is getting into the frozen yogurt business after retiring from owning a chain of Verizon Wireless phone stores in eastern Kansas. Forman said locating a TCBY in downtown Lawrence seemed to be a natural fit.

“I just really love that downtown area,” Forman said. “It is so vibrant, and it brings that real sense of family and community, which is what we’re looking for.”

If you remember a few days ago, we reported speculation that Freebirds World Burrito had

reached a deal to go into a portion of the former Maurices building at 739 Mass.

Well, it turns out the speculation was correct.

I recently chatted with Caitlin Noble, director of marketing for Kansas City-based FBMidwest Development, the franchisee for Freebirds in the Midwest.

Noble said the company hopes to have the Lawrence store open by midto-late October. The company first, however, must win approval from the city’s Historic Resources Commission to alter the downtown building. The company hopes to go before the HRC at its August meeting.

It sounds like folks in the region should expect to see a lot of Freebirds in the future. Noble said her company has plans to open 27 Freebirds in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.

As we previously reported, Freebirds focuses on a variety of burritos, nachos, tacos, salads and other south-of-the-border flavors. In all, Noble

said there are 2 trillion different combinations available on the menu for customers to try. The restaurant also uses grassfed, hormone-free beef and also hormone-free chicken.

“The brand matches up so perfectly with Lawrence,” Noble said. “They both have a kind of freespirit, come-as-you-are attitude. We pride ourselves in not being normal, and we know Lawrence is not normal in the best ways possible.”

Often, the healthy instincts of my body would start to crave fruit, and I would head down to Penny Annie’s. The shop sold these wonderful, miniaturized fruits — I believe they called them Runts — that were so sweet you would have sworn they were made from pure sugar.

It was great.

order, there should be a substantial savings to the Kansas taxpayers,” Schmidt said in a statement.

Kobach has argued that none of the plaintiffs should have their legal costs covered because the judges drew their own political maps, rather than approving existing proposals. He argued Thursday that the judges would have drawn nearly the same maps had Essex remained the only plaintiff.

In their latest ruling, the judges said they’d exclude expenses associated with proposals in which the population among districts varied by more than 2 percent, a limit judges were obligated to follow under past court rulings. That’s likely to exclude many of the proposals presented in court.

Kobach said the court’s standards will make it difficult for plaintiffs to have their costs covered by the state.

“I’m encouraged by the court’s order,” he said.

Seven plaintiffs didn’t ask to have their legal fees covered, including House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a Hutchinson Republican who represented himself.

Another plaintiff, U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder, a Republican who represents the Kansas City area-centered 3rd Congressional District, withdrew his request.

Musil’s client, business leader Frank Beer, argued for keeping Manhattan in the 2nd Congressional District of eastern Kansas as the 1st District of western and central Kansas expanded to avoid remaining underpopulated. The judges put Manhattan in the 1st District.

Musil said Beer is weighing whether he still could have his $48,000 in legal expenses covered by the state under the standards outlined by the judges.

GOP candidate for Senate ends campaign Jeremy Pierce, who filed to run in the Republican Party primary for Kansas Senate District 2, said Thursday that he is stopping his campaign.

Pierce, of Lawrence, said he is backing the other Republican, Ronald Ellis, of Meriden, in the race.

The primary is Aug. 7, and the winner will face state Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, in the November general election.

“I can tell for this mo-

ment, Ronald Ellis is a better candidate for the office.

I look forward to campaigning again in the future and to serving Kansas, but for now I wish to help my Republican colleague any way I can,” Pierce said in an email.

Pierce’s name will still be on the ballot. A candidate cannot remove his or her name from the ballot after the candidacy filing deadline, said Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew.

BRIEFLY Heat-related death is state’s third TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas officials say the death of a 43-year-old man in northwest Kansas was heat-related, making it the state’s third such fatality this year.

The state Department of Health and Environment confirmed Thursday the latest heat-related death was reported last week but declined to provide additional details to protect the victim’s privacy. The state’s other two heatrelated deaths occurred in May. Health department officials also said hospitals have voluntarily reported about 40 heat-related injuries and illnesses since the beginning of June.

High temperatures in northwest Kansas have hit or exceeded 100 degrees for most of the past two weeks, and Gov. Sam Brownback has declared a drought emergency in the western third of the state, including northwest Kansas.

The sheriff said that one inmate was arrested north of the town of Meade.

The third was captured after a chase on U.S. 54 that ended when he drove off the highway and hit railroad tracks. He was taken into custody in Bucklin, about 40 miles east of Meade.

New jobs report looms over Obama campaign bus trip

By Ben Feller Associated Press

SANDUSKY, OHIO — Campaigning by bus through swing state Ohio, President Barack Obama cast his re-election bid as a bet on the American worker Thursday, even as he braced for a Friday unemployment report that will help set battle lines for the hot summer to come.

The monthly unemployment numbers could alter or harden voters’ views of Obama’s core reelection argument that he pulled the U.S. back from recession while Republican Mitt Romney embraces policies that led to an economic near-collapse.

A weak report could undermine Obama’s position, while improvement could help the president — though concerns about jobs are sure to a major issue through Election Day. Obama tellingly chose to start his summer of onthe-road campaigning in two political battleground states that have a rosier economic outlook than some parts of the nation.

Both Ohio and Pennsylvania had unemployment rates of 7.3 percent in May, well below the national average of 8.2 percent.

“This is how summer is supposed to feel,” Obama said, wiping sweat from

His trip through northern Ohio gave him a postJuly 4 splash of Americana: Main streets and U.S. flags, cornfields and fruit stands, community soccer sign-ups and American Legion halls, small children climbing on fathers’ shoulders to see the president’s bus go by. Obama was greeted kindly wherever he went and bounded through his day, high-fiving the kids and hugging grandmothers.

Romney rolled his own bus tour through six states last month, including the two Obama is visiting this week. And more are certain to come in the next few months for both candidates.

As he kicked off Thursday’s 250-mile trip in Maumee, Ohio, Obama said he had “refused to turn my back on communities like this one.”

Romney, chiming in from his family vacation in New Hampshire, criticized Obama for hitting the road with “no new answers” on the economy.

BRIEFLY Zimmerman bail set at $1 million ORLANDO, FLA. — Using words like “false testimony” and “misled,” a judge granted $1 million bail Thursday for neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, but questioned his honesty and suggested he had plotted to leave the country when he was out of jail the first time.

Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester referred to Zimmerman with words like “conceal” and “flee” more than a dozen times in an eight-page order that lets him out of jail while he awaits his second-degree murder trial in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

The judge’s doubts could hurt a Zimmerman attempt to dismiss the case by claiming he shot Martin in self-defense, a possible motion based on Florida’s “stand your ground” law, experts said.

“Mr. Zimmerman is not held in any high esteem by this court,” said Karin Moore, a law professor at Florida A&M University College of Law. “I think that could matter if there is a ‘stand your ground’ hearing ... It’s a matter of credibility. There is no one else to testify to support the selfdefense claim.”

Lester had revoked Zimmerman’s $150,000 bond last month after prosecutors said Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about how much money they had during an April bond hearing and failed to disclose he had a second

passport after turning in one passport to the court.

Malware may knock 3 children dead after thousands off Web yacht capsizes WASHINGTON — Despite

OYSTER BAY, N.Y. — A yacht that capsized with 27 friends and family aboard on an outing to watch Fourth of July fireworks was severely overcrowded and doomed to tip over, safety experts said Thursday as the skipper blamed the tragedy on a wave that came out of the dark.

Three children died after becoming trapped Wednesday night in the cabin of the 34-foot vessel off Oyster Bay, on the north shore of Long Island.

Sal Aureliano, who was at the helm of the Candi I, told TV’s News12 Long Island that he saw two lightning bolts and then a wave suddenly hit.

“It turned the boat around,” he said, his voice cracking. “It just turned the boat. I didn’t see it. It was dark. I didn’t see it.”

Aureliano’s nephew David Aureliano, 12, and two girls, 11-year-old Harley Treanor and 8-year-old Victoria Gaines, died. The 24 other passengers, adults and children, were rescued from the water, mostly by fellow boaters, and were not seriously hurt.

The cause of the accident was under investigation, but it could have been the weather, overcrowding, the wake from another vessel or a combination of factors, said Nassau County Detec-

repeated alerts, tens of thousands of Americans may still lose their Internet service Monday unless they do a quick check of their computers for malware that could have taken over their machines more than a year ago.

The warnings about the Internet problem have been splashed across Facebook and Google. Internet service providers have sent notices, and the FBI set up a special website.

According to the FBI, the number of computers that probably are infected is more than 277,000 worldwide, down from about 360,000 in April.

About 64,000 still-infected computers are probably in the United States.

The Canadian Internet Registration Authority said about 25,000 of the computers initially affected by the malware were in Canada, but now only about 7,000 machines remain infected there, according to Canadian Internet Registration Authority spokesman Mark Buell.

He said his organization, together with Public Safety Canada and the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission, has developed an online site where computer users can check their computers for the malware.

A DOCK EXTENDS INTO A DRY COVE Thursday at Morse Reservoir in Noblesville, Ind. The reservoir is down 3.5 feet from normal levels.

Midwest can’t get relief from oppressive heat

By Dinesh Ramde Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — The temperatures in Casimir Brandon’s basement bedroom grew so stifling that the exhausted Madison man began riding city buses in the morning, from one end of the line to the other, so he could grab a few hours of air-conditioned sleep.

Brandon is among those searching for any kind of relief as oppressive heat slams the middle of the country with record temperatures that aren’t going away after the sun goes down. So when the city of Madison transformed a vacant convention center into a 24-hour cooling center, Brandon jumped at the chance to sleep in comfort.

“I had a cot there, but I gave it up to a lady who had a kid,” said Brandon, 56. “But it’s OK. I just lined up six chairs and slept like a baby. I was just so tired from the previous two days that it wasn’t a problem at all.”

St. Louis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago and several other Midwest cities already have set record highs this week or are on the verge of doing so. And with even low temperatures setting heat records, residents are left searching for any relief.

In the McDonough Homes public housing

“

When a day starts out that warm it doesn’t take as much time to reach high temperatures in the low 100s.”

— Marcia Cronce, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service project in St. Paul, Minn., Chue Yang, his wife, their 8-year-old son and 11- and 12-year-old daughters have taken refuge in the children’s bedroom, which has the only air conditioner in their townhome.

“We don’t want to cook because it’s too hot, so we stay in the bedroom,” Yang, 38, said Thursday, as he rested in the air-conditioned lobby at the McDonough Recreation Center. “That’s all. We don’t have anything to do.”

The National Weather Service issued excessiveheat warnings Thursday for all of Illinois and Indiana, as well as parts of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan. Forecasts called for daytime temperatures from the mid- to high 90s into the low 100s.

St. Louis hit a record high of 105 on Wednesday and a record low of 83.

In Wisconsin, the coolest

Milwaukee and Madison got was 81 in the early morning, beating previous low records by 2 and 4 degrees respectively.

Temperatures didn’t fall below 79 in Chicago, 78 in Grand Rapids, Mich., and 75 in Indianapolis.

“When a day starts out that warm it doesn’t take as much time to reach high temperatures in the low 100s,” said Marcia Cronce, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “You know it’ll be a warm day when you start out at 80 degrees.”

Many cities have tried to help by opening cooling centers and extending the hours for their public pools. Compounding the high heat in Michigan was damage wrought by storms.

More than 300,000 homes and businesses across the state were without power Thursday.

In St. Louis, where three deaths have been blamed on the heat, officials have called about 4,000 residents, many of them elderly or disabled.

For those who didn’t answer their phones, officials went out in person to check on them. Dozens of cooling centers have been set up, a charity is providing air conditioners, and a utility-assistance program will help about 1,500 households get caught up on their electric bills.

WASHINGTON — Fewer U.S. banks are failing than at any time since the financial crisis erupted in 2008. The healthier banking industry is helping sustain an economy slowed by lackluster hiring, weak manufacturing and Europe’s debt crisis.

Banks have benefited from low interest rates, higher account fees and more mergers. The recovery from the financial crisis has helped, too. It means more people and businesses can take out and repay loans.

Banks remain generally cautious about lending. And their rebound has yet to drive a robust economic recovery from the recession that officially ended three years ago. But the banks’ gains have allowed them to make gradually more loans and keep the economy from slowing further. Bank loans rose at a 2.1 percent annual rate in the first three months of 2012 and at a 4.6 percent rate since then, according to the latest Federal Reserve data.

Hiring improves, but economy still weak overall

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The outlook for the U.S. job market brightened a little Thursday after the government said fewer people applied for unemployment benefits last week and surveys of private companies showed hiring increased in June.

The economy is still far from healthy. U.S. service companies grew more slowly last month. Retail sales figures were disappointing. And central banks in Europe and China cut their interest rates, an indication that they expect weaker growth ahead.

But despite all the gloom, American factories and service firms kept hiring in June. Economists say that suggests many companies are less worried that the spring slump will endure.

“It is beginning to look like the labor market is not nearly as weak as feared,” Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors, said in a note to clients.

Wall Street was mixed in light of the latest economic reports. Stocks fell early but recovered much of their losses by midday. Bad news from Europe was offset by higher expectations for June job growth, which the government will report today.

The economy added an average of just 73,000 jobs a month in April and May. That’s much lower than the 226,000 a month that were added in the first three months of the year.

And it’s far too low to re-

duce the unemployment rate, which rose to 8.2 percent in May. Before Thursday, most economists didn’t expect much change from that pace. They forecast that employers added 90,000 jobs last month, while the unemployment rate didn’t change, according to a survey by Factset.

But several sounded slightly more optimistic after seeing a slate of better data.

Weekly unemployment benefit applications dropped by 14,000 to a seasonally adjusted 374,000, the Labor Department said Thursday.

That’s the fewest since the week of May 19.

Payroll provider ADP said businesses added 176,000 jobs last month.

That’s better than the revised total of 136,000 jobs it reported for May and, if sustained, would be enough to lower the unemployment rate.

Goldman Sachs responded to the better data by raising its forecast to a gain of 125,000 jobs last month, up from its initial prediction of 75,000.

Brian Bethune, chief economist for Alpha Economic Foresights LLC, said he expects job growth of 120,000 to 140,000. But he warned that even those figures were too weak to bring down unemployment.

Economists typically say it takes at least 125,000 new jobs each month to absorb population growth.

“Looking forward, slow growth is expected,” said Erik Johnson, US economist, IHS Global Insight.

“But the U.S. economy should avoid recession.”

First NATO supply trucks cross Pakistan border

By Matiullah Achakzai and Munir Ahmed Associated Press

CHAMAN, PAKISTAN — Trucks carrying NATO supplies rolled into Afghanistan for the first time in more than seven months Thursday, ending a painful chapter in U.S.Pakistan relations that saw the border closed until Washington apologized for an airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Thousands of trucks

have been waiting at ports in Karachi for the transit ban to be lifted as the diplomatic wrangling dragged on. Drivers are eager to get behind the wheel and start earning a lucrative salary again in what can be a deadly journey because of attacks from the Taliban.

“I risk my life for my family, and I risk my life because I get better pay for taking NATO supplies,” said Tajawal Khan, who has been driving the

dangerous route for the past few years.

“I know the Taliban may attack our trucks. But I tell the Taliban that we are doing this job for our family,” he said by telephone from the cab of his tanker in Karachi, waiting to be loaded with oil before driving north toward Afghanistan.

Pakistan closed the routes in retaliation for the U.S. airstrikes in November that killed the two dozen border troops.

The decision to reopen them, after the U.S. apology, marked an easing of strains in the relationship between Washington and Islamabad in recent months. The Americans have said they did not intentionally target Pakistani forces, but Pakistan disputed that.

Pakistan and the U.S. also differed over how much Islamabad should be paid for trucks to move through its territory. In the end, they appeared to

compromise with the U.S. issuing an apology but paying no extra fees from the $250 per truck that it was previously paying.

Pakistan faces a domestic backlash, given rampant anti-American sentiment in the country and the government’s failure to force the U.S. to stop drone strikes targeting militants and meet other demands made by parliament.

Arafat autopsy may have to wait

By Karin Laub Associated Press

RAMALLAH, WEST BANK — Digging up Yasser Arafat’s bones may offer the best shot at learning if the legendary Palestinian leader was poisoned, as many of his old comradesin-arms claim, but Palestinian officials signaled Thursday they’re not rushing into an autopsy.

Arafat’s 2004 death remains shrouded in mystery, and this week’s findings by Switzerland’s Institute of Radiation Physics — that belongings linked to Arafat contained an elevated level of a radioactive agent — have revived speculation about foul play.

However, the institute said more tests are needed, prompting Arafat’s widow Suha to demand that her husband’s remains, buried under a glass-and-stone mausoleum in his former West Bank compound, be exhumed.

Arafat’s successor, President Mahmoud Abbas, has agreed to an autopsy in principle, but it

Abbas aide Nimr Hamad said Thursday that a team of experts would first be sent to Europe to learn more from the Swiss institute and from the French military hospital where Arafat died on Nov. 11, 2004.

Another possible hurdle is consent by Arafat’s close relatives, particularly his nephew Nasser al-Kidwa, a former Palestinian envoy to the United Nations and — as head of the Yasser Arafat

Foundation — the custodian of his uncle’s memory.

Earlier this week, alKidwa seemed cool to the idea of an autopsy, telling the Arab satellite TV station al-Jazeera that he believes the findings by the Swiss institute are sufficient proof of his longstanding claim that Arafat was poisoned. Al-Kidwa has not been reachable for comment since then. Abbas has said he’ll only order an autopsy if the family is on board, but did not define whom he meant.

Republicans who are angry that his administration apologized to a country allegedly giving safe haven to militants attacking U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

During the closure, the U.S. was forced to use more costly and lengthy routes into Afghanistan through Central Asia. Pakistan is also expected to gain financially, since the U.S. intends to free up $1.1 billion in military aid that has been frozen for the past year.

Gone fishing

A full-blown investigation could lead to uncomfortable questions for the Palestinian leadership.

Fingers have been pointed at Israel, but if an autopsy were to reveal that Arafat was indeed poisoned, the probe would also have to look at Palestinians who had access to him.

In the last three years of his life, Arafat was confined by Israel to his walled compound in the city of Ramallah, the Muqata. The Palestinian leader was seen by Israel and the U.S. as an obstacle to peace efforts and a sponsor of attacks that killed hundreds of Israelis.

Israel has emphatically denied a role in Arafat’s death. “Israel did not kill him, I say that with certainty,” Dov Weisglas, a high-powered aide to then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, told Israel TV on Thursday.

Philipp Guelland/AP Photo Weisglas said that by that time, Arafat had already A POLAR BEAR NAMED BLIZZARD EATS A FISH been marginalized.

Fireworks malfunction in big, fast flash SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Trolley was packed. Hotel rooms facing the bay were sold out. And local radio was set to simulcast a patriotic score for the Fourth of July show.

But instead of 20 minutes of fireworks, the crowd in San Diego got about 20 seconds of giant, deafening booms after a computer mishap sent multiple bulb-shaped explosions over the bay.

The show’s producer blamed a “technical glitch” Thursday, saying an error in its computer system caused tens of thousands of fireworks on four barges to go off simultaneously with a single command.

was unlikely that more than a few at most were actually done by Caravaggio and that none show the mature hand of the temperamental artist — who was famed for his dramatic chiaroscuro effect of dark space contrasting with light, vivid still life and the then-scandalous use of models from the lower walks of life for religious scenes.

The works were culled from the collection of Simone Peterzano, whose many pupils included Caravaggio from 1584 to 1588.

The Peterzano collection, which is kept in Sforzesco Castle, a Milan landmark, contains nearly 1,400 works. Bernardelli, in brief remarks to The Associated Press, said that until now experts had considered the collection to contain only works by Peterzano.

“Evidently no one entertained the hypothesis that there were works” of his pupils, including future star artist Caravaggio, among the drawings, Bernardelli said.

Chicago teachers have legitimate beef

KCI redo The design of Kansas City International Airport may be convenient for passengers, but that no longer is the priority for the airline industry or Homeland Security.

E

arlier this week, Kansas City, Mo.’s aviation director and some architects involved in designing the three-terminal Kansas City International Airport got together to discuss plans to make major alterations to the airport that has been hailed for its passengerfriendly features.

The consensus of the group is that, although the airport that opened in 1972 is convenient for passengers, this is “another era,” and changes are required. Aviation director Mark VanLoh recognized the appeal of the “drive to your gate” concept, which was adopted by a number of other airports, but also acknowledged that passenger comfort no longer is a priority for airlines or for Homeland Security.

This statement comes as no surprise to any recent airline passenger.

Two architects who worked for the firm that originally designed KCI confirmed the view that the airport’s innovative design was no longer workable in light of airline consolidations and modern security concerns. Fewer airlines means that some of KCI’s terminals are overcrowded while others are nearly empty. VanLoh claimed that because of KCI’s many security entry points, it has more airport screeners than all three New York airports combined.

The first plan to solve this problem was to replace KCI with a new structure at a nearby location at a cost of $1.5 billion to $2 billion. Now, airport planners are looking at replacing the current Terminal A with a larger structure that would accommodate all of KCI’s flights.

They estimate the latter plan would save about $500 million and would allow a new terminal to be built in about five years rather than seven or eight.

Although Lawrence residents are big users of KCI, they will have no say in its future design, which must be approved by the Kansas City (Mo.) City Council, airlines and federal aviation officials. Nonetheless, travelers from Lawrence and elsewhere will help foot the bill for a new terminal, which would be paid for by the airlines and by taxes and fees paid by airline customers. So close to the 4th of July, it sort of makes one think of the phrase about “taxation without representation.”

No matter how much passengers liked the design of KCI, change now seems inevitable. One of the architects who helped design KCI said last week that the city should look at this as “a new opportunity” to create another iconic building, like the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.

The Kauffman Center is a lovely structure, well-suited to its artistic mission, but the last thing most travelers probably want is an airport design that emphasizes form over function. According to news reports, airport officials have pledged to select an architect to design a terminal that would be as convenient as the current KCI. It seems a tall order, but we hope they are successful.

CHICAGO — The title of the nation’s largest labor union — the National Education Association — seems calculated to blur the fact that it is a teachers union. In this blunt city, however, the teachers union candidly calls itself the Chicago Teachers Union. Its office is in the Merchandise Mart, a gigantic architectural Stonehenge, which resembles a fortress located on the Chicago River, which resembles a moat. Which is appropriate.

Unions are besieged, especially public-sector unions, particularly teachers unions, and nowhere more than here.

Teachers unions have been bombarded with bad publicity, much of it earned, including the movie “Waiting for ‘Superman,’” and have courted trouble by cashing in on sentimentality, cloaking every acquisitive demand in gauzy rhetoric about how everything is “for the children.”

Still, have sympathy for Karen Lewis, 58, a Dartmouth graduate who is a daughter of two African-American teachers. She taught chemistry for 22 years until becoming president of the 26,502-member CTU. Her job is to make life better for her members, not to make life easier for Mayor Rahm Emanuel, with his roughneck’s reputation and stevedore’s profanity, whose ideas are as admirable as his manners are deplorable.

He thinks that improved schools, including more charter schools, might arrest the exodus to the suburbs of par-

America’s school year (about 180 days) is one of the shortest in the industrial world, and while middle-class children may leaven their summers with strolls through the Louvre, less-privileged children experience “summer learning loss.” Remediation requires the first few weeks of the fall term, which effectively further shortens the school year. And Chicago’s school day is the shortest of any large American district.

The CTU wants a pay raise — 30 percent — proportional to Emanuel’s 90-minute increase in the school day and 10-day increase in the school year. He has canceled a 4 percent raise and offers only 2 percent. He says benefits the CTU has won — e.g., many teachers pay nothing toward

generous pensions they can collect at age 60 — could in just three years force property taxes up 150 percent and require classes with 55 students.

Even discounting Emanuelean hyperbole, whose fault is this? Just as foggy rhetoric about corporations’ “social responsibilities” obscures the fact that a corporation’s responsibility is to maximize shareholder value, blaming unions for improvident contracts ignores the fact that a union’s principal task is to enhance members’ well-being — wages, benefits, working conditions. Unions can wound themselves by injuring their industries (e.g., steel and autos), but primary blame for improvident contracts with public employees belongs to the elected public officials who grant them. Anyway, money — salaries and pensions — may not be the most problematic point of contention. It might be teacher “accountability,” including merit pay, and identifying failing schools and teachers. Lewis says, “We can’t choose the children that come into our classrooms.” Chicago schools are 86 percent black and Hispanic, and low pupil performances strongly correlate with household incomes.

Teachers unions, however, have painted themselves into a corner by insisting that spending is the best predictor of educational performance — increase financial inputs and cognitive outputs will rise. In the last 50 years, real per-pupil

spending nationwide has tripled and the number of pupils per teacher has declined by a third, yet educational attainments have fallen. Abundant data demonstrate that the vast majority of differences in schools’ performances can be explained by qualities of the families from which the children come to school: The amount of homework done at home, the quantity and quality of reading material in the home, the amount of television watched in the home and, much the most important variable, the number of parents in the home. In Chicago, 84 percent of African-American children and 57 percent of Hispanic children are born to unmarried women.

The city is experiencing an epidemic of youth violence — a 38 percent surge in the homicide rate, 53 people shot on a recent weekend, random attacks by roving youth mobs.

Social regression, driven by family disintegration, means schools where teaching is necessarily subordinated to the arduous task of maintaining minimal order.

Emanuel got state law changed to require unions to get 75 percent of the entire membership rather than a simple majority to authorize a strike. Some people thought this would make strikes impossible. The CTU got 90 percent to authorize. Lewis’ members are annoyed, and are not all wrong.

Mexico president to focus on economy President-elect Enrique Peña Nieto is likely to step up his country’s activism in Latin American affairs, where it has been completely overshadowed by Brazil in recent years. That’s in the political DNA of his Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which has ruled Mexico for much of the past century.

The big question is whether he will do it by revamping Mexico’s ties with Brazil, Cuba and other left-of-center governments in the region, or by trying to play a more active role in the newly formed Alliance of the Pacific Alliance group made up of Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile, which has closer trade ties with Washington.

Peña Nieto gave few hints of his foreign policy plans during the campaign. The PRI has a long tradition of supporting Cuba and other Third World causes, largely as a way to keep its leftist wing happy while it pursued pro-business economic policies.

But well-placed PRI politicians and some of the president-elect’s top foreign policy advisers say that Peña Nieto is a pragmatist whose foreign policy will be strictly focused on economic goals.

Emilio Lozoya, coordinator of Peña Nieto’s international relations, told me that the president-elect “will seek a more modern, more pro-active foreign policy, aimed at becoming an engine for the country’s economic development.”

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

… well-placed PRI politicians and some of the president-elect’s top foreign policy advisers say that Peña Nieto is a pragmatist whose foreign policy will be strictly focused on economic goals.”

That will include expanding the current drug-centered agenda with Washington to energy and infrastructure plans, such as private sector investments in Mexico’s Pemex oil monopoly and shale gas industry, he said.

Rosario Green, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair and former foreign minister, says that Mexico won’t neglect its ties with the United States, by far Mexico’s largest export market.

“If you ask me what is likely to be his first, second and third priority, I would say the United States first, Central America second, and

the Pacific Rim third,” Green told me. “It is a fact that the center of gravity has shifted to the Pacific, and that there are a lot of things that we can gain from looking east.”

Peña Nieto will maintain and even deepen Mexico’s participation in the Alliance of the Pacific, PRI insiders say.

The new bloc, all of whose members have bilateral free trade deals with the United States, aims to negotiate its participation in President Barack Obama’s proposed Trans Pacific Partnership, which would include nearly a dozen Asian countries and could become the world’s largest free trade area.

Among the names floating around as possible choices to become secretary of foreign relations in Peña Nieto’s government are former ambassador to Washington Jorge Montano, former ambassador to Washington, London and Moscow Juan Jose Bremer, former Finance Sectary Pedro Aspe, Secretary General of the Paris-based Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development Angel Gurría, and Peña Nieto’s foreign policy advisor Lozoya.

Any of them would focus on improving economic ties with the United States and the Pacific Rim, party insiders note.

But some well-placed PRI members see things differently, saying that Peña Nieto has a private commitment to appoint former PRI President Beatriz Paredes, who served

as ambassador to Cuba and is a strong advocate of teaming up with Brazil and other leftof-center-ruled Latin American countries.

Paredes, who lost by a wide margin in Sunday’s vote, reportedly accepted the PRI mayoral candidacy in exchange for Peña Nieto’s vow to appoint her foreign relations secretary in the new government.

“It will be hard for Peña Nieto not to keep his word with her, unless he convinces her to take a different job,” one well-placed PRI member told me. “But she wants to be Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and has told everybody so.”

My opinion: Peña Nieto is likely to find another job for Paredes, among other things because she did so badly in Sunday’s election — she got only 19 percent of the vote — that she won’t have political capital to demand much.

More importantly, she does not have close connections in Washington, speaks virtually no English, and would not have the business profile Peña Nieto would need to escort him around the world seeking new investments.

Barring surprises, Peña Nieto will pick a foreign affairs secretary who has what he does not: vast foreign policy experience, and good connections in Washington, Europe and Asia.

Royals surge to win; ‘Hoch’ injured

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Work goes on

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

The Associated Press

TORONTO — The All-Star break next week is arriving at just the right time Luke Hochevar.

The Kansas City righthander won for the third time in four starts after leaving the game with a sprained ankle, Eric Hosmer had three RBIs and the Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-6 on Thursday night.

Hochevar (6-8) gave up two runs and four hits in five Hochevar innings before leaving with his injury.

He sprained his right ankle while covering first base on Colby Rasmus’ infield single in the fifth.

“I hit the bag on the inside and just rolled it in,” Hochevar said. “It wouldn’t have been bad if it wasn’t on the inside. When I was pushing off the rubber it extended it and it was biting me pretty good. It’s a good thing we have the All-Star break coming up and I’ve got eight days (of rest).”

Hochevar stayed in the game and struck out Jose Bautista to finish the inning, but was replaced by Tim Collins in the sixth.

“He was fine but I didn’t like the look on his face,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “When he came in (to the dugout) he lobbied to go back out for the sixth but I wasn’t going to.”

Hochevar, who improved to 4-1 in seven career starts against Toronto, said his ankle isn’t so sore that he couldn’t pitch again before the break if he was scheduled for another start.

“It’s stiff and it’s tender and it bother me to push off the rubber but I think it would be fine,” he said.

All-Star Billy Butler snapped a season-long 0-for24 hitless streak against Toronto pitching and Yuniesky Betancourt homered as the Royals won for the second time in six games. Salvador Perez tied a career-high with four hits, all singles, and extended his hitting streak to a career-best 11 games. Kansas City finished with a seasonhigh 16 hits. “(Perez) has been a big boost to our club, both defensively and offensively,” Yost said.

Collins worked 1 1-3 innings and Greg Holland got the last two outs of the seventh. Aaron Crow got two outs in the eighth but gave up Yunel Escobar’s RBI single before Jose Mijares came on and surrendered a tworun triple to pinch-hitter Ben Francisco before Kelvin Herrera got J.P. Arencibia to ground out to end the threat.

Jonathan Broxton finished in the ninth for his 21st save.

“Each guy we put out there got into a little bit of trouble but we found a way to make it work,” Broxton said.

Arencibia hit two home runs for the Blue Jays and Henderson Alvarez (5-7) gave up five runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. Toronto lost for just the ninth time in 14 meetings against Kansas City dating to last season.

Kansas City opened the scoring with in a five-run, 10-batter third against Alvarez, an inning that started and ended with Jeff Francoeur grounding out to third base.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN GUARD ANRIO ADAMS SAYS HE’S PUT IN THE WORK to overcome academic eligibility issues and is looking forward to showing the same dedication on the court at KU. Adams arrived on campus Wednesday.

Eligibility out of his hands, KU’s Adams excited to dedicate himself to his game

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Anrio Adams’ high school coach has compared the 6-foot-3, 185-pound Kansas University freshman combo guard to Miami Heat phenom Dwyane Wade.

It’s a likening that Adams likes ... a lot.

“When I was in high school for my senior year, I actually tried to copy some of his moves and I watched him a lot. That’s who I really like in the league, so ...” Adams said with a smile during a Thursday media session in KU’s Hadl Auditorium.

Adams, the country’s No. 98-rated prospect out of Seattle’s Rainier Beach High who

arrived on campus Wednesday for the second session of summer school, of course has a long way to go to rival the accomplishments of the powerful, 6-4, 220-pound, 30-yearold, two-time NBA champion Wade.

Yet those in the know say he has the tools to be a special player.

“I really think Anrio ... based on what we’ve been told and what we’ve seen, has a chance to be one of the very best ones to come out of there,” KU coach Bill Self said of Rainier Beach — a school that has produced Ryan Anderson, Doug Christie, Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson, Lodrick Stewart, plus former KU players Rodrick Stewart and C.J. Giles.

“He can handle like a one (point guard). He can score like a two (shooting guard),” Self added of Adams, who averaged 21.0 points, 6.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds a game for last year’s 27-3 state champs.

“His mindset will be more to score. He’s a really good athlete. I think he’ll give us an element of toughness, too.

He’s a good player. He’s capable of being an elite guard,” Self added.

Adams, the Associated Press Class 3A player of the year in the state of Washington who said he’ll play “whatever position the coach needs me to,” is a good buddy of ex-Jayhawk Stewart.

A road game against Ohio State, neutral site battle versus Michigan State and home contests against Temple and Colorado highlight Kansas University’s 2012-13 nonconference basketball schedule announced Thursday.

The Jayhawks also will play Belmont, Richmond, American, UT Chattanooga, San Jose State and SE Missouri State in Allen Fieldhouse, as well as Oregon State in Sprint Center. KU will also meet Washington State in Sprint Center in the CBE Classic with another Classic game against either Saint Louis or Texas A&M. “I think it is going to be a really good RPI schedule,” KU coach Bill Self said. “I don’t think there are as many traditional names on it as we have had the last couple of years. Ohio State (Dec. 22) and Michigan State (Nov. 13 in Atlanta) will be two of the best teams in the country.

Then you throw in the Temples (Jan. 6) and the Colorados (Dec. 8), the Washington States (Nov. 19), Oregon States (Nov. 30), Richmonds (Dec. 18), Belmonts (Dec. 15), American (Dec. 29), there are some good teams in there that will have really good RPIs that should probably help our RPI. “It’s probably a schedule that was done knowing that we also have eight freshmen,” Self added. “This is probably the youngest team we have had. (The schedule is) by no means easy, but we certainly didn’t load up like we did last year with traditional names.”

Temple won the Atlantic 10 last season, its final year in the league before heading to the Big East. Belmont, which has moved from the Atlantic Sun to the Ohio Valley, reached the NCAAs for the fifth time in seven years.

Colorado, coached by former KU guard Tad Boyle, won the Pac-12 Tournament.

American, one of the Patriot League favorites, reached the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.

“We got Richmond to come back. I’m excited about that,” Self joked of a team that beat KU in Allen in the 2003-04 season.

“I can’t believe we couldn’t get Bucknell and Bradley to come back as well as Nevada (some other losses). It seems to me our worst performances since I’ve come here have been against the better mid-majors obviously. Richmond was in the Sweet 16 (losing to KU two seasons ago). We know they are good.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Study: KU has a top home-field advantage ... of sorts

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Congratulations, Jayhawk fans.

It turns out you do have a Top 20 football program after all.

At least that’s what the guys at predictionmachine. com say about the Kansas University football program’s home-field advantage at Memorial Stadium.

According to the recent study, which includes data from as far back as 2000, the KU football program has the 14th best home-field advantage of all Div. I, FBS programs in the country. Better Please see ROYALS, page 10B than Alabama, better than

Texas, better than Kansas State. Heck, according to these guys, KU ranks second in the Big 12 when it comes to home-field advantage, with only Oklahoma (1st) and former Big 12 schools Missouri (4th) and Texas A&M (12th) rating higher than the Jayhawks.

So what gives? How is it possible that a program like KU — with just a handful of all-time bowl appearances and a student fan base that routinely left games at halftime and did not return — Nick Krug/Journal-World File Photo ranks near the top of college football in home-field advan- KANSAS FANS WAVE THE WHEAT after a touchdown against Baylor in this file photo from Nov. 12, 2011, at Memorial Stadium.

SATURDAY • at Detroit, 3:05 p.m.

HOUSTON (AP) — A person with knowledge of the deal said Thursday that New York Knicks restricted free-agent guard Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets have agreed to terms on a four-year contract offer.

The person told The Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t officially announced the deal.

Lin can sign the offer sheet with Houston on July 11, and the Knicks will then have three days to match the offer.

The Knicks have repeatedly said that they plan to keep Lin. The contract is worth $10.2

million over the first two seasons and $9.3 million in each of the last two years. The fourth season is a team option.

The person also told the AP that the Rockets traded Kyle Lowry to Toronto on Thursday for a future firstLin round draft pick with lottery protection and forward Gary Forbes. Lowry averaged 14.3 points and 6.6 assists in 47 games for Houston last season.

Lin, who went undrafted out of Harvard, became a sensation with a remarkable stretch in February where he scored at least 20 points in nine of 10 games.

A high point of that span came when he scored 38 points with seven assists in a 92-85 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 10.

The Rockets are already popular in Asia because of the career of former star Yao Ming, who retired in 2011.

With Yao’s retirement, Lin could add to their appeal there as the first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese decent.

Armstrong allegations plague Tour SAINT-QUENTIN, FRANCE (AP) — The Tour de France is shadowed again by Lance Armstrong and doping.

The subject returned with a vengeance to cycling’s greatest race Thursday, and caught in the turmoil were four riders and a team manager who years ago helped Armstrong on the way to his seven Tour titles.

All this on a day when Germany’s Andre Greipel won the fifth stage — his second in a row Greipel — in a sprint after the 122-mile trek from Rouen to Saint-Quentin, north of Paris. Fabian Cancellara kept the race lead for a sixth straight day.

The ride got off to a bumpy start after a Dutch newspaper reported the former Armstrong teammates cut a deal with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for their testimony in a doping case against him.

Daily De Telegraaf, citing “well-informed sources,� said USADA had given six-month bans to Jonathan Vaughters, George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, David Zabriskie and Christian Vande Velde.

Later Thursday, The New York Times reported online that four of those riders — all but Vaughters — would testify in the agency’s case. The paper cited two unidentified people with knowledge of the case who requested anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.

Vaughters, now a team director at the Garmin-Sharp team, called the Dutch report “completely untrue.� The others declined to comment, though Hincapie said his thoughts were with Armstrong. “I’m sad he is going through this,� said Hincapie, the only rider to have been on all of Armstrong’s Tour-winning teams. “He’s done so many things for the sport. His accomplishments are incredible.�

The revelations amount to a new twist in a swirling drama over the legacy of cycling’s greatest global superstar — this time putting some of his former friends and teammates on the spot. USADA refused to confirm the report, while cautioning in a statement that the five named could be subject to “unnecessary scrutiny, threats and intimidation.�

The team got another dose of bad news when American sprinter Tyler Farrar had a fourth crash already this Tour, tumbling to the ground as the frenzied pack accelerated with just over two miles to go. As in Greipel’s sprintfinish victory a day before, the crash tarnished the stage, and he counted himself “lucky� to avoid a spill two days in a row.

Today’s sixth stage — a 128mile jaunt from Epernay in Champagne country to Metz — offers the last leg in the northern flats this week to favor sprinters, before a steep uphill finish on Saturday.

The Rockets had Lin in training camp, but waived him because they had already had Lowry and Goran Dragic on their roster.

Now that they’ve traded Lory, and with Dragic headed to Phoenix, Houston is trying to get Lin back.

Lin was claimed by the Knicks after the Rockets let him go and soon became New York’s starting point guard and “Linsanity� ensued.

He averaged 14.6 points, 6.2 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 35 games with 25 starts before his season was cut short because of surgery to repair torn cartilage in his knee.

SERENA WILLIAMS, LEFT, MEETS VICTORIA AZARENKA AT THE NET after her semifinal victory in the All England Lawn Tennis Championships on Thursday at Wimbledon, England.

Serena Williams reaches Wimbledon final WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND — Serena Williams wins with so much more than serving, of course.

Her groundstrokes are intimidating. Her superb speed and anticipation fuel unparalleled court-covering defense. Her returns are outstanding, too.

When that serve is on-target, though, it sure is something special, quite possibly the greatest in the history of women’s tennis. Lashing a tournament-record 24 aces at up to 120 mph, and doing plenty of other things well, too, four-time Wimbledon champion Williams overpowered No. 2-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, 6-3, 7-6 (6), on Thursday to reach her seventh final at the All England Club.

On Saturday, the 30-year-old Williams will try to become the first woman at least that age to win a major tournament since Martina Navratilova, who was 33 when she won Wimbledon in 1990.

Her next opponent will be No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who reached her first Grand Slam final at age 23 by playing steady as can be during a 6-3, 6-4 victory over No. 8 Angelique Kerber of Germany.

Freese emerged from an NL field that included Atlanta outfielder Michael Bourn, Nationals rookie outfielder Bryce Harper and Arizona second baseman Aaron Hill. Freese is batting .285 with 13 homers.

LAWRENCE CITY TOURNAMENT

Alvamar pro: Mind the rules this weekend

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During this weekend’s Lawrence Amateur Golf Association two-day city tournament at Alvamar, scratch golfers and casual players alike will play 36 holes over roughly 10 hours and take somewhere between 140-220 shots apiece.

That offers plenty of time to mistakenly push the envelope on a few of golf’s most important rules.

In preparation for the weekend, Alvamar golf pro David Dunn offered the following refresher on some of the game’s most easily abused rules.

“All in all, it is an amateur golf event, but it is competitive and we want to make sure that people are both having fun and playing by the rules,” said Dunn, who, as a member of the tournament committee, could be called upon to interpret or enforce the rules this weekend. “All USGA governed rules and regulations will be used and enforced.”

There are plenty of players in the tournament field who know those by heart.

There also are more than a few who might not. Before giving his insight on some of the more commonly broken rules, Dunn offered up one general tip for golfers of all skill levels.

“It’s always good to discuss stuff with your group,” he said.

In other words, if you don’t know, ask. If you don’t, you could cost yourself a stroke or two.

Here’s a look at Dunn’s do’s and don’ts: Q 14-club rule: Players are allowed to carry 14 clubs in their bags during

Schedule CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

KU can play in Sprint in NCAAs: NCAA rules allow a team to play no more than three regular-season games in one venue and still play in the same venue for the NCAA Tournament. With the two CBE games and the Oregon State game, this criteria would allow KU to play in Sprint Center for the 2013 NCAA Tournament.

The Big 12 Championship is considered a postseason event.

O Danny and Larry to return?: Self said he would love to schedule games against Tulsa and SMU in the future.

“We welcome bringing Danny back to the fieldhouse. I think that would be great,” Self said of KU All-American Danny Manning’s Tulsa Golden Hurricane. “I think it’d be great to get coach Brown back,” he added of former

Adams CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Stewart’s dad, Bull, in fact, is Adams’ godfather.

“I’ve known him since I was in fifth grade,” Adams said of Rodrick.

“I was following them (Jayhawks) since my freshman year in 2009.

That’s when they started recruiting me a little, showing me a little bit of attention. Rodrick was telling me a little about it — that it (Lawrence) is a family based city and basketball — you really can’t beat it. It’s a basketball state. This is where I wanted to be,” Adams added.

Adams committed to KU back on Nov. 19.

“A lot of schools were involved in the Pac-12,” he said. “I felt like I was a little bigger than the Pac12. I didn’t really want to stay home.”

Before reporting to KU,

GREG SHARP, RIGHT, TEES OFF AS MICHAEL RACK, LEFT, AND TONY CANEDO WATCH during the 2011 Lawrence Amateur Golf Association city tournament on July 23, 2011, at Eagle Bend golf course. This year’s LAGA tourney is set to begin on Saturday morning at Alvamar. a round of golf. Carrying more could result in penalties or disqualification.

“This is one of the more common ones that people don’t think about,” Dunn said.

One of the most common reasons this rule is broken relates to the intense focus of the players prior to their rounds.

“Golf is one of those sports where you can tinker with things a little bit,” Dunn said. “If you’re hitting one club better on the range, of course you’re going to want to use that one during your round. But if you forget to leave the other club in your car, it could cost you. I did have one guy ask me once to hang on to four clubs for him and he gave them to me just before he got to the first tee.”

Q Know your stakes: White stakes, yellow stakes, red stakes, sirloin steaks. There seem to be so many different types of out-of-bounds markers out there that it can be difficult to remember what they all mean. Make sure you know, because playing it wrong could turn your par into a double bogey in a hurry.

White stakes — If your ball goes out of bounds in this area, you must re-tee or re-hit from the same spot.

Red stakes — This is what’s known as a lateral hazard and you are allowed to drop the ball at the point of entry, with a two-club-length range.

Yellow stakes — Same as the red stakes, but you can take your drop as far back as you want as long

as it remains on the line the ball went OB and that line remains between your drop and the flag.

“When you’re in any one of these positions, your next move needs to be approved by the other competitors in your group,” Dunn said. “It’s not a decision you should make on your own.”

Q Find a ball you like: During most tournaments you’re supposed to play the same ball throughout the round. If the one-ball rule is used this weekend, changing from a Titleist to a Nike ball could result in penalties. Obviously, balls get lost during a round of golf, so think of this more as playing the same brand of ball than actually playing the same ball from start to finish. If you can do that,

more power to you, but if you lose one, just make sure you replace it with the same type of ball you started with.

In the same vein, clubs are not to be messed with during a round, either.

“No modifications can be made to any clubs at any time during the course of a round,” Dunn said. “These drivers that are so popular now days where you can change the head position or click this or turn that are great, but if you start messing with them during a round, you’re actually in violation of the rules.”

Q Provisional provisions: If a tee shot appears to be out of bounds, players may hit a provisional tee shot that would take the place of the first shot if the ball is, in fact, out of

Home field

KU coach Larry Brown leading SMU. “I think it’d add a lot of interest to our game and to our schedule, so it also will be done in time (when) they feel confident and comfortable in doing so. They are both taking over situations they really haven’t had much control over since they got there with their roster.

I would think in the next year or two those are definite possibilities.”

O This, that: KU will return trips to Temple and Colorado in the 2013-14 season. ... Former KU player Royce Woolridge will be a red-shirt sophomore at Washington State. ... Oregon State is coached by President Barack Obama’s brother-in-law, Craig Robinson. ... The Big 12 will release its slate later this month. ... KU’s Self will play in the all-star

game celebrity softball game on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium. “I thought about (asking to play) third base, but (George) Brett is playing third. I thought about short. Some guy named Ernie Banks may play short. Catcher is out. (Mike) Piazza is playing. Center is out. Bo (Jackson) is playing,” Self cracked. “I’ve got a feeling they will put me in right field no matter what I request. I’ll be happy just to get out there or they could just DH me. I’d be happy if they just DH me,” added Self, who hasn’t batted in a softball game in 20 years. ... Future KU guard Brannen Greene of the Florida Rams has to find a new AAU team to play for, CBSsports.com reports.

The NCAA has ruled that the director of the Rams and three other AAU teams have a relationship with ASM Sports, a professional sports agency.

The players will be allowed to continue competing in AAU ball as long as they find new teams.

he had to first become academically eligible, which entailed taking the ACT test a couple times in the past couple months.

It’s believed Adams’ test scores and core course grades will qualify him for a scholarship, however he will have to be given the OK (like all players) by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

While awaiting a ruling, he’s clear for full participation with the KU team, including playing on the upcoming European tour.

“Hard work and dedication. It was on me if I wanted to be here or not.

So I worked as hard as I could,” Adams said. “The toughest part for me was politics. A lot of people that shake your hand you don’t know are working against you. I didn’t realize it until I went back home (to Seattle after short stay at St. Pat’s in New Jersey) that was playing against me. That was my hardest thing.”

He’s still waiting on some academic materials

from Seattle’s Franklin High, which he attended two years before moving on to Seattle Garfield, then on to Rainier Beach.

“He has gone as far as everybody else from an eligibility standpoint.

Whether or not they (Clearinghouse) put the final stamp on him or not remains to be seen. They have all the information.

All indications are he will be cleared and all that stuff,” Self said.

“I’m really proud of him of how hard he worked in getting some things done late. With all the stuff we went through last year (eligibility cases of Ben McLemore, Jamari Traylor and Braeden Anderson), we weren’t going to bring him here until we were totally confident he’d done everything. If he were to come here and find out there’s a problem, you can’t go back to fix it. If he never got here, you can go back and fix it. We’ve been very deliberate on him coming

to make sure he dotted all his I’s and crossed his T’s.

I feel good about that.”

Adams — he prefers the name Rio over Anrio — said he’s just happy to be here with KU’s other five scholarship freshmen, two walk-ons and two redshirt freshmen.

“I put a lot of emotion in the game because this is what I want. I love this game. It’s gotten me this far. I’m hoping it continues to let me go further from here,” Adams said, noting he’s been “taking time to make sure I’m getting better at the things I’m not good at.”

Those things? “My range. My shot, defense.

College level is a lot bigger than high school,” he noted.

Of Adams, Rainier Beach coach Mike Bethea noted: “Anrio’s best basketball is ahead of him.

He has a ton of talent and with him going to KU and listening to coach Self and the coaching staff, the sky is the limit.”

Well, according to this study, the fervor of the fans, the gameday atmosphere, the decibel level and the construction of the stadium don’t mean squat. This study bases its conclusions on which teams perform at a higher level at home versus on the road, and how well they play at home above what is expected and how consistently that performance is delivered.

It’s long been known that the Jayhawks both play and fare better in Memorial Stadium than they do on the road, and that’s basically what this study says. That’s why the elite programs in the country rank near the bottom. Alabama is 106th, Nebraska 102nd, Texas 100th, and Florida 96th. Most years, these programs are so loaded with talent it does not matter where they play or who they’re playing, and their consistent blowout victories make playing at home less significant and less crucial than the advantage for a program like KU. Even the most die-hard

bounds. However, Dunn said the most important thing to remember when hitting a provisional is that a player must declare it as such before swinging away. Failure to do so eliminates the first from play should you find it.

You’re losing a stroke and taking the penalty either way, but declaring your intentions at least gives you options.

Q Finally, Dunn pointed to one of the game’s oldest rules, one that has inspired people for decades to refer to golf as “a gentlemen’s game.”

“Etiquette really comes into play with events like this,” Dunn said. “Just be aware of etiquette when you’re on the course — not walking through people’s lines or standing within someone’s vision on the tee box or on the green, and, obviously, no talking on cell phones when other players are trying to hit. It’s just common courtesy.”

Beyond that, Dunn said playing “ready golf” is something else that makes the tournament experience fun for everyone.

“That helps, especially in this heat,” he said.

“When the shot from the guy before you lands, you should be ready to go. The main thing to remember, though, is that people should have fun and recognize what the game is all about. The spirit of competition in golf is not dead; it’s very much alive because people of all abilities can compete just like the pros.”

O For tee times for Saturday’s LAGA city tournament, see page 10B

Jayhawk fans likely would say that playing in Tuscaloosa or Austin or Lincoln or at the Swamp is much more difficult than coming into Memorial Stadium. And they’re right.

But this study did not take into account any of those environmental factors that make college football so great. It merely looked at the numbers and spit out this fascinating, yet head-scratching, list.

So why do the study?

Why not?

It’s kind of interesting to see that the Jayhawks get such a lift out of playing at home, even if the stands aren’t always full or people do leave long before the final gun.

Tigers 7, Twins 3 DETROIT — Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to break a tie, and Delmon Young followed with a solo shot to lift Detroit past Minnesota on Thursday and a split of the four-game series.

Miguel Cabrera’s RBI single for Detroit in the eighth tied it 3-all. The hit scored Austin Jackson, who tripled with one out before pinch hitter Quintin Berry walked.

The damage all came against Alex Burnett (21), who relieved starter Scott Diamond to begin the inning after Diamond allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings. He walked one and struck out four.

Burnett, who allowed three runs and two hits in one-third of an inning, was relieved by Tyler Robertson after Cabrera’s tying hit. Fielder then hammered Robertson’s 1-0 pitch into the rightfield stands for his 13th homer of the season.

Anthony Swarzak replaced Robertson and Young sent a 0-1 pitch over the fence in right center. It was originally called a double but it went to instant replay and was changed to a homer.

It was Young’s seventh home run.

Pirates finish sweep of Astros The Associated Press

Pirates 2, Astros 0 PITTSBURGH — Jeff Karstens scattered four hits over eight innings, and surging Pittsburgh blanked Houston.

Karstens (2-2) struck out a season-high eight against just one walk as the Pirates completed their first four-game sweep of the Astros at home since 1979. Joel Hanrahan pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save. Garrett Jones and Casey McGehee each drove in a run for Pittsburgh, which has won eight of nine to vault into first in the NL Central.

Marlins 4, Brewers 0 MILWAUKEE — Carlos Lee doubled and scored in his Miami debut, Mark Buerhle struck out a season-best eight over 7 2/3 innings and the Marlins beat Milwaukee to split the four-game series.

Buehrle (8-8) allowed only six hits to the Brewers, who had produced 25 runs the previous three games. The left-hander was challenged in the fourth when Milwaukee had runners at the corners with two outs, but he struck out Rickie Weeks to end the threat. The Brewers failed to advance a runner to third the rest of the way.

Making room for family a generous act

fore they moved in. I adore our son-in-law and want them to treat our house as their home. But is it wrong of me to feel inconvenienced? How can I make it clear that I do not want to be a baby sitter without hurting my son-in-law’s feelings? — Feeling Inconvenienced Dear Inconvenienced: We urge you to accept this 5-yearold boy and make him part of your family. It isn’t his fault that his

‘Community’ rolls out an evergreen Christmas seems to be breaking out all over the network dial.

“Community” (7 p.m., NBC) repeats its savage, silly “Glee” sendup from last year’s holiday episode.

When the campus choir is busted for copyright infringement, its bubbly, sweater-vested director, Cory Radison (Taran Killam, “Saturday Night Live”), tries to enlist the study group members to take their place, bewitching them one by one with songs perfectly pitched to their particular eccentricities.

The best of the silly songs has to be “Baby Boomer Santa,” an anthem of one generation’s selfcentered view of the universe that appeals to the doddering Pierce ( C h e v y Chase).

This is a memorable “Community” episode that will appeal to fans of the series and may turn some disinterested viewers into regulars. An evergreen, if you will.

ABC updates a holiday special that originally aired in 2005.

Hosted by Barbara Walters, “Heaven — Where Is It? How Do We Get There?” (8 p.m.) premiered shortly before Christmas that year.

In that special, Walters went overboard, combining the softfocus pizzazz of celebrity journalism with inane supernaturalism. Her search for heaven took her from New York to Hollywood to Nepal. She discussed the afterlife with priests, rabbis, ministers, scientists and skeptics.

And, as I wrote at the time, she chatted “with enough celebrities, major and minor, to book ‘Larry King Live’ for a solid week.”

In the 2005 special, Walters discussed near-death experiences with a number of notables, including actress Elizabeth Taylor, who not only described going to heaven, but also mentioned a meeting with her late husband, Mike Todd. Apparently, Richard Burton was otherwise engaged.

Taylor has died since the first “Heaven” aired. There’s no word if she appears in this update.

Tonight’s other highlights

Three members infiltrate a whaling ship on “Whale Wars” (8 p.m., Animal Planet).

A teen fears he’s opened a deadly portal in his own house on “The Dead Files” (8 p.m., Travel).

Tales of animal mutilation in Colorado interest the stars of “Chasing UFOs” (9 p.m., National Geographic).

A decision to walk down the aisle in a ball gown and cowboy boots inspires an intervention on “Randy to the Rescue” (9 p.m., TLC).

BIRTHDAYS

Former first lady Nancy Reagan is 91. Singer-actress Della Reese is 81. The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet, Tenzin Gyatso, is 77.

Actor Ned Beatty is 75. Former President George W. Bush is 66.

parents are not together, and he will look to you to be his grandparents if you permit it.

We know it’s difficult to have little children underfoot, but someday your daughter may have kids, and you will be faced with this same problem. If you don’t want to baby-sit, it’s OK to say you don’t have the energy for that. But you risk alienating your son-in-law if you reject his child. Please make the best of it for the month. Your daughter will be so grateful.

Dear Annie: This weekend I was given two concert tickets that cost $32 apiece. I invited a friend to attend with me. The event was an hour away, and we used her car to get there. On the way, we stopped at a restaurant for lunch. When we received the check, she said, “I’m going to let

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, July 6: You experience much more contentment as you seek and find solutions to many of your life issues.

You actually are in the last year of a 12-year cycle. This inner reflection seems appropriate. If you are single, observe your tendency to connect with emotionally unavailable people.

If you are attached, the two of you can be found hiding away from the world.

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) Zero in on what you want. You are full of get-up-and-go when it comes to friends and fun.

Tonight: Throw yourself into a fun game or happening.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You know far more than you want to share. Unfortunately, you convey that fact through your facial expressions, which is why someone is hounding you. Tonight: Tap into someone’s creative mind.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Reach out for someone at a distance. You might want to rethink a get-together involving a child or loved one. Tonight: Practice flirting.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Deal with a family member or roommate directly and with a smile. Listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Chats continue.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Others seek you out, though you might want some time to relax and simply be entertained.

Seek out a good movie, or go where there is music. Tonight: Slow down, if need be.

you pay for this since your tickets didn’t cost you anything and I paid for the gas.”

Annie, the fuel bill was less than $10. Still, to keep the peace, I paid the restaurant bill and the tip. Have you ever heard of this before? It was a new one for me. — Orlando, Fla. Dear Orlando: The tickets may have been free, but you chose to invite this particular person when you could have given her ticket to someone else. Since she paid for the gas, however, a more equitable arrangement would have been to split the cost of the lunch.

In some form, you feel restricted. Understand that you might have spread yourself too thin.

Tonight: Get some extra Z’s.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to others, especially if you seem to be drained or just not up to visiting, entertaining, etc. A child or loved one dominates the scene, and this person knows just what he or she wants. Tonight: Know that you can say “no.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A must appearance and a sense of direction make you very content and happy. Your vision as to what is possible demands that you take the lead. Tonight: Snuggle in.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be happiest just fielding calls. You could be dealing with an unhappy friend. Tonight: Hang out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your interest in a changeable situation is quite clear. However, one person you deal with, who is instrumental here, could be quite stuck. Tonight: Treat yourself.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could hear news that makes you feel a little off or sad. You need to honor your feelings, but do not push too hard. Tonight: Reach out for someone who is way too quiet.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Listen to what is happening with a key loved one. You might not have realized that this person was so negative. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Dear Annie: My daughter and her husband moved in with us last year in order to save money and someday raise a family. We enjoy having them here.

The issue is my sonin-law’s 5-year-old boy from his previous marriage. The custody arrangement states that he is entitled to have the child for a month during the summer for extended visitation. I foresee this being a big adjustment for my husband and me. It’s not that we don’t like the child, but we don’t feel all that attached to him.

Also, we are done raising our children and are not crazy about the thought of having a toddler for a month. This boy needs to be entertained constantly, and we just don’t have the energy.

My daughter and her husband did not address this with us be-

Toronto cut it to 8-6 in the bottom half on Escobar’s RBI single and Francisco’s triple, but Betancourt led off the ninth with a solo homer off Drew Carpenter, his sixth.
