Guns among items stolen in latest home burglaries

Redistricting has set the stage for a primary face-off between two Leavenworth County Republicans: Sandra Bohne and Connie O’Brien.

In 2010, Bohne, of rural Leavenworth, lost the race for the 40th District House seat to Democratic incumbent Melanie Meier by about 50 votes. Redistricting has placed Bohne in the 42nd District where she is running against a Republican incumbent, O’Brien, a rural Tonganoxie resident who is seeking her third term to the Kansas House.

O’Brien said jobs and taxes were the most press-

ing issues for the state.

She supported Gov. Sam Brownback’s rural opportunity zones initiative in which new businesses receive a five-year exemption from income taxes.

She also supported the governor’s tax cuts.

“That was something we needed to do because we tried the tax-and-spend policies, and they haven’t

worked at all,” O’Brien said.

Bohne said she favors lower taxes but has concerns about the tax cut, saying it was “based on hope and not sound economics.”

“I’m all for lower income tax, but I feel we need to maintain,” Bohne said.

O’Brien wants to see more in the way of vocational education offerings in high schools and college, as does Bohne, who said education is a top priority.

“I am passionate about education,” Bohne said. “I was the woman who was running the school party, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Please see PRIMARY, page 6A

Lock your doors. Be watchful. Keep the lights on.

But as police warn Lawrence residents about a rash of home invasions, reports of the crimes keep piling up.

Monday morning, Lawrence police reported two more overnight burglaries, including one in which two handguns were stolen.

One of the burglaries occurred between 11:30 p.m. Sunday and 7:50 a.m. Monday in the 500 block of North Wilma Way, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley. Two handguns, a .38 special revolver and a .380 semi-automatic, were stolen by a suspect from the first-floor living room area of the home, which is northwest of Peterson Road and Kasold Drive.

The suspect reportedly entered the home through an unlocked rear door, McKinley said.

Police were also dispatched shortly before 7 a.m. Monday to a home in the 1100 block of Andover Street, after residents discovered several items, valued at over $3,000, missing from the home, which is northwest of Harvard Road and Monterey Way. The residents reported they left their garage door open and said they think that’s how the suspect or suspects gained Please see BURGLARIES, page 2A

DEATHS Journal-World obituary policy: For information about running obituaries, call 8327151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes or the families of the deceased.

REX A. WILLIAMS Funeral services for Rex A. Williams, 61, Lawrence, KS will be at 9 a.m.

Thursday, August 2, 2012 at the Warren-McElwain Mortuary- Eudora Chapel.

Burial will follow in the Eudora Cemetery. He died on Sunday, July 29, 2012 at his home in Lawrence.

Rex Williams was born July 28, 1951, in Mountain Home, AR, the son of Eugene and Betty Bearden Williams. He grew up in Eudora, KS, graduating from Eudora High School in 1969. Rex married his wife of 42 years, Judy Taylor, in 1970.

His work experience included Dillons, manager of Jayhawk Towers, and manager of Jayhawk Training Table in Lawrence, until 1975, when he changed careers and worked for Mid-Central Fish and Frozen Foods, in Kansas City, KS. When the company was sold to SYSCO, Rex transitioned from truck driver into sales, and later became a supervisor over the truck drivers. Rex remained a dedicated employee until he became disabled with COPD. He received a lung transplant in 2003. The Williams Family is forever grateful to the family of Matthew LeBeau for giving Rex the ability to live another 9 years. Rex took advantage of every opportunity to speak at schools, telling his story of smoking, and how it ruined his life, and became a spokesperson for organ donation.

Rex became very involved with KU’s International Students.

Through this program, the family has grown in numbers, and in great relationships.

Rex has been an “American Dad” to many – Ranata, HyoJung, Angel, Jade, ShonKin, Calvin, Tina, KaiChin, and even “Grandpa” to Gianna – just to name a few. The entire Williams Family has reaped the benefits of consistently adding new “family” members and increased knowledge and respect of other countries and their customs. A lot of love has been exchanged back and forth with the Williams’ International Family, and these relationships will continue to be a source of joy and encouragement for the family.

Rex loved babies – all babies – and wanted to be a valuable member to the Family of God. He took care of several infants during his time of disability, often volunteering to care for babies of parents experiencing financial

difficulties.

He was always available to do whatever was needed, to the extent that is health allowed.

Wherever he saw a need – he stepped up to the challenge. Most recently, he saw the need in his Church Family in Lawrence, to learn how to run the sound system during services.

He quickly mastered this task, and taught others to be able to duplicate and/or take-over this ministry as well. Rex was a vital part of the Worship Team. He never missed a rehearsal, and always made himself available to any one of the FCL Family who needed practice with the sound system.

This ministry, among others, was a true joy for him.

Rex found his greatest pleasure in God, and the family that God blessed him with. His grandchildren – MaKenna, Tessa, Kelsey, Sara, Liz, Gianna, and Brent – have had many “memory making moments: with their PaPa. He will be extremely missed by his children – LaVonda Norcross, Craig Williams, and their respective spouses, Jody and Christine – are a living legacy for Rex. They, along with his wife, Judy, were Rex’s biggest supporters. He is also survived by his mother, Betty King, of Eudora, KS, a brother, Larry Williams, of Lawrence, KS, two sisters, Hope Cundiff and Frances Dunavin, both of Eudora, KS. He was preceded in death by his father. The laughter, and the tears, will always bring smiles to the hearts of his favorite kids.

The family will greet friends from 7-9p.m.

More than two months after Haskell Indian Nations University acknowledged the school was the subject of a federal investigation for falsifying ACT scores for athletes, no new information has been provided about the case despite numerous interview and open records requests.

An anonymous letter to the Journal-World in May prompted Haskell officials to issue a news release that provided vague information about the investigation into falsified student-athlete ACT scores. The release stated that employees were “disciplined for manipulation of three other student transcripts” but did not specify what those actions were or which sports were involved.

Haskell President Chris Redman scheduled — then canceled — several interviews since May. He has declined requests for an interview pending the results of an open records request filed by the Journal-World on May 18 with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The request asked for any reports related to investigations of academic misconduct in the Haskell athletic department.

On June 25, the JournalWorld received a response from the Bureau of Indian Affairs stating that the request was sent to the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Inspector General for review. According to the response, the Office of the Inspector General had 20 business days to provide the information, or ask for a time extension. As of Monday, the 23rd working day since the response, the JournalWorld has not received further information. A spokeswoman with the Office of the Inspector General said reasons for the delay were unclear, and no timetable was set for providing information.

Magistrate Judge James P. O’Hara. Most of the defendants and their lawyers packed an appellate courtroom as they sat in dozens of chairs set up in front of the judge.

During a past detention hearing, Morehead accused one of the defendants, Samuel Villeareal III, 31, of supplying marijuana to unnamed Kansas University men’s basketball players during the 2010-2011 season.

The indictment in the case does not mention Morehead’s allegation about KU players, and it did not come up at Monday’s hearing.

Villeareal also has Lawrence ties, according to court records, and in one count he’s accused of attempting to distribute marijuana in May 2011 within 1,000 feet of West Middle School, 2700 Harvard Road.

Tractor drivers gearing up for annual pull at county fair

No contest plea entered in stabbing

By Meagan Thomas

A 32-year-old Lawrence woman has pleaded no contest to aggravated battery related to a stabbing as part of a domestic incident earlier this month.

According to Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, Matilda Ornelas entered the plea Friday to one count of aggravated battery of intentional physical contact with a deadly weapon.

Lawrence police had said Ornelas was arrested days after a 37-year-old Lawrence man was taken on July 12 to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with two stab wounds to his torso.

Police determined the man was stabbed in connection with an earlier disturbance in the 1100 block of Tennessee Street. The man’s injuries required surgery.

District Judge Paula Martin is scheduled to sentence Ornelas at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 27.

Tractors are scheduled to drive through the Douglas County Fairgrounds rodeo arena Thursday night, but the large farm machines won’t be harvesting any crops.

They will be participating in the Douglas County Fair’s antique tractor pull competition.

In the contest, tractors compete to see which can pull a weighted sled the farthest. Tractors are separated into classes depending on their year and how many modifications have been made to the tractor and engine.

The Douglas County Fair will have stock, modified, farm and open classes.

Leroy Turner, who organizes the antique tractor pull, hopes that area farmers will want to compete in the farm class. He is expecting at least 25 competitors to be at the pull and for roughly 75 to 100 tractors to hook to the sled.

Many of the participants have

mthomas@ljworld.com

been active in the pull for years.

One of them is McLouth resident Bill Petrie. He’s competed in the Douglas County Fair for the past 15 years and has been participating in tractor pulls for more than 43 years. He started when he was 5 years old.

Petrie will bring two tractors to the competition. To prepare them, he checks the engines and tires and makes sure the machines are in top-performing condition. Other preparations like changing the settings and the positioning of weight on the tractors take place after examining the track to find out if it is a hard, dry track or has more give.

“On a tractor, a lot of the preparation is done ahead of time but the actual setting up doesn’t happen until you see the track condition,” Petrie said.

The fair’s track will be about 280 feet long, but Turner is unsure how wet he will make it for the tractors.

“If I can find enough water I will make it a fairly decent track,” Turner said.

Petrie has fared well in previous competitions at the fair, and, although he wants a win, he is most looking forward to seeing friends.

He says the best part of the event is the camaraderie among competitors and the many friendships that form. He also likes to meet other drivers, especially newcomers to the sport.

“It’s fun when you see a young competitor start,” Petrie said.

“It’s fun to help them figure things out, give them pointers and help them become more competitive.”

Petrie plans to make a full pull at the fair and even though his camaraderie with the other drivers is important to him, he said he still is hoping for a win.

The antique tractor pull begins at 6 p.m. Thursday in the rodeo arena. The event is free and open to the public.

Lawrence’s high temperature of 108 on Sunday was one for the record books.

Record CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

According to the information gathered at KU, the hottest July 29 before this year was 107 degrees in 1934, Knapp said.

So if the temperature recorded Sunday at KU was 108 or higher, it was a record-setting high in both sets of books, Knapp said.

Attempts on Monday to determine what was recorded at KU were unsuccessful.

Ten Kansas cities broke daily high temperature records Sunday, including Topeka with a high of 107 degrees, and six cities tied record temperatures based on data from the weather service.

National Weather Service meteorologist Kris Sanders said this year has been one of the warmest years Kansas has had, and chances are high for above-normal temperatures during the next three months.

Temperatures are expected to be in the 100101 range through Friday with a 20 percent chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms every day, Sanders said.

eases. The groundbreaking piece of technology Echogen is working on is a platform that allows platinum and other types of metals to be safely delivered into the bloodstream. According to the company’s website, the company’s platform “provides a way to irreversibly bind metals to proteins, allowing them to circulate innocuously in the blood stream, and permitting release only after contact with the intended target.”

Sounds fascinating.

Now, if the company could figure out a way to irreversibly bind my wife’s platinum credit card to the deep recesses of her purse — especially at those above-mentioned chocolate shops — that would be a real breakthrough.

Just up the street on Vermont, another type of development will be taking place this week: a block party.

The Lawrence Public Library will be hosting its Last Bash of Summer event from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday. The event will close down the portion of Vermont Street that runs in front of the library at Seventh and Vermont streets.

The event will feature free music from local bands including Hospital Ships, The Dan Ryan and Danny Pound and the Wild Card Catalog. (If you saw my recent profile on new library director Brad Allen, you’ll note he was once a touring musician, and I believe he’ll be playing in one of these groups.)

The event also will feature kettle corn, cotton candy, crafts and games, and free hot dogs from Local Burger. I believe Free State Brewery also will be on hand to sell adult beverages. (Huh, perhaps I can get my hands on the platinum credit card.)

If the last bash of summer is already on tap that must mean winter is coming up.

The city of Lawrence has begun accepting grants for people who need help winterizing their homes. The city is accepting applications through the end of the month for its Weatherization Grant Program.

Each year the city uses grant money it receives from the federal government to fund a program to help lower-income homeowners improve the energy efficiency of their homes. The grant money is most commonly used for improvements such as attic insulation, storm windows and entry door weatherstripping.

There are some guidelines applicants must meet. They include: — The home can’t have received weatherization assistance from the city since Jan. 1, 1993.

— The home must be owner-occupied, and must not have more than two dwelling units.

— Mobile homes are not eligible for the program.

— Applicants must meet certain family income guidelines. A family of four, for instance, can’t have an income above $57,200.

To apply for the grants, contact the city’s Planning and Development Services division at 1 Riverfront Plaza (the east end of the old Riverfront Mall) or visit http://bit.ly/qzIFDV to find information on the city’s website.

I’ve been a registered voter in Lawrence for over 25 years. If I go to the Aug. 7 primary and forget to bring my photo ID, will I still get some kind of ballot? Will I still be able to vote in some manner?

A:

A registered voter has the right to vote by provisional ballot if he or she doesn’t have an ID at the time of voting, said Jamie Shew, Douglas County clerk.

The voter will get a provisional ballot and information about where to send proof of ID (to elections@ douglas-county.com or 832-5192) before Aug. 16 in order to have the vote counted.

Do you plan to vote in the Douglas County primary election Aug. 7?

Asked on Massachusetts Street

J.D. Daniels, bartender, Lawrence “No, because I’m too busy and I worry my vote doesn’t matter.”

Meighan Davisson, administrative assistant, Lawrence “I don’t plan on it. I haven’t been following the local race, and I just moved. Everyone’s worked up about election season, but I’m not ready to be worked up.”

Matthew Obrakta, artist and user experience designer, Lawrence “I’m not registered to vote.”

Ann Martinez, doctoral student and lecturer, Lawrence “Yes. As a woman, I think it’s important to remind myself it was a right we didn’t always have. I think everyone should take advantage of the right to vote.”

ON THE RECORD

LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

• Douglas County prosecutors Monday filed several charges, including kidnapping and aggravated assault, against a 27-yearold Lawrence man accused of forcing his way into an apartment while two occupants slept early on Sunday.

A judge set bond at $20,000 on Monday for Tomas Garcia Jr., who was charged with two counts of kidnapping, one count of aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of misdemeanor criminal damage.

Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman, said officers were called to the 2100 block of West 26th Street when they located Garcia and determined he was intoxicated. McKinley said the victims alleged Garcia forced his way into the apartment while they slept. The victims left the apartment at one point, but McKinley said they accused Garcia of threatening to use a gun during the incident.

Garcia’s next hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.

FIRE CALLS • A kitchen fire Sunday night damaged a home in the 1600 block of Massachusetts Street, said

Division Chief Eve Tolefree, a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical spokeswoman.

Tolefree said the fire was reported at 9:32 p.m.

Sunday, when firefighters located a fire and extinguished it in the kitchen.

The Douglas County chapter of the American Red Cross was providing assistance to the displaced occupants, and on Monday afternoon fire investigators had not yet determined a specific cause or damage estimate, Tolefree said.

A separate fire at 11:42 a.m. Saturday caused an estimated $4,500 in smoke damage to a duplex after crews discovered a fish tank with the top light housing burned off inside a residence in the 2700 block of Harrison Place. Tolefree said firefighters at the duplex discovered heavy smoke but no flames when they arrived.

Firefighters were able to ventilate the residence and remove a dog that was housed inside a kennel. No one was home at the time of the fire, she said.

CONDITION UPDATE • Christina Reed, a 31-year-old Hoyt woman who was injured in a motorcycle crash Sunday evening north of Lawrence on U.S. Highway 24 has been treated and released from Stormont-Vail Regional

Health Center in Topeka, a hospital spokeswoman said Monday. The driver of the motorcycle, Daniel Blazic, 44, also of Hoyt, was flown to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., where hospital spokesman Bob Hallinan said Monday he could not release information about Blazic’s condition because of the hospital’s patient privacy policy.

Similar false threats were made just before 4:30 a.m. Sunday toward a Walmart in Leavenworth.

These threats come on the heels of a string of false threats made last week in Missouri and Oklahoma.

The Associated Press reported that stores in eight Missouri communities had received similar threats on Friday. A false bomb threat shut down a store in Claremore, Okla., on Wednesday.

An FBI spokesman said it is investigating the series of threats made across the area, and it would be working with local law enforcement as part of an ongoing investigation.

Koch Industries, Kansas Chamber Primary take aim at moderate Republicans

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the PAC report at LJWorld.com

The Kansas Chamber of Commerce, fueled by a six-figure contribution from Koch Industries, has funneled more than $280,000 into the Republican Party primary, much of which has been spent to try to knock off moderate Republicans on Aug. 7.

The spending is detailed in the Chamber’s political action committee campaign finance report that was released Monday and covers the period from Jan. 1 through Thursday.

During those seven months, the Chamber PAC collected $228,475 in contributions to add to the $111,692 it already had

on hand. Of the $340,157 in available funds, the PAC spent $281,600.

According to the report, almost all of that money was spent between June 21 and July 24.

On July 19, Wichitabased Koch Industries dropped $125,000 into the PAC. The finance report reveals a full-speed-ahead strategy by the Chamber, endorsed by Gov. Sam Brownback, to defeat moderate Republicans in order get control of the state Senate.

From July 18-24, the Chamber PAC paid $130,000 to Victory Enterprises of Davenport, Iowa, for radio and cable production.

Among those receiving assistance, according to the report: $21,628

was spent on Michael O’Donnell, who is challenging state Sen. Jean Schodorf, R-Wichita, and $18,470 benefited Joe Patton, who is challenging state Sen. Vicki Schmidt, R-Topeka.

During July 18-19, the Chamber PAC paid approximately $100,000 to Singularis Group, based in Shawnee, for printing and postage of campaign material for a number of conservative GOP candidates.

For example, $8,942 in printing and postage was spent on Patton, and $8,272 was spent on Tom Arpke, a conservative Republican from Salina, in his fight against moderate Republican state Sen. Pete Brungardt.

Brown leads in GOP Senate race

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — In the Republican Party primary for Senate District 3, Anthony Brown, a Eudora House member, has a significant campaign finance edge over James “J.C.” Tellefson, a former Leavenworth County commissioner.

For the reporting period from Jan. 1 through Thursday, Brown reported raising $20,875 and spending $11,477. Tellefson had raised $2,427 and spent $1,916 during the same timeframe.

Many of Brown’s contributions came from conservative political action committees.

Brown received $1,000 each from Koch Industries PAC, Kansas Chamber of Commerce PAC, American Freedom PAC,

Prairie Fire PAC, which is Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s PAC, Kansas Optometric PAC, Robert Hodgdon of Shawnee, John Lewis of Lenexa, Slainte Medical of Shawnee, and Mike Eagan and Donna Eagan, who listed their occupations as “sales ammunition.” He also received $500 from David Kensinger and Associates.

Kensinger is Gov. Sam Brownback’s former chief of staff.

Tellefson’s campaign finance statement included an $800 loan from himself to his campaign and $500 contribution

from Mary Jo Springe of Lansing.

The winner of the Aug. 7 primary will face incumbent state Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, who has a substantial campaign war chest.

Holland had $98,175 cash on hand at the beginning of the reporting period and added $19,180. He had $104,729 cash on hand at the close of the period.

Included among his $1,000 donors were the Pipefitters Volunteer Political Fund, Heavy Constructors Association, Northeast Kansas Building and Construction Trades Council PAC, Western Missouri and Kansas Laborers’ District Council PAC, Association Wholesale Grocers, and Kansas Realtors PAC. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

school bazaars.”

As for the debate about school funding, Bohne said proper funding was necessary, but efficiency also was key.

“I can’t imagine that I would cut spending to education, but that does not also mean that we have to raise it,” she said.

If re-elected, O’Brien plans to take another crack at a measure regarding gun laws. She introduced a bill that would have allowed corrections officers to bypass the required training for a concealed carry permit. The measure overwhelmingly passed in the House but died in the Senate.

If elected, Bohne said she plans to work with other legislators to improve the state.

“I think they’ve forgotten the job of legislators is to come to consensus and go forward together,” Bohne said. “That’s the job of a Legislature.”

The winner of the Republican primary will face Leavenworth Democrat Harold Fevurly Jr. in the Nov. 6 general election.

The 42nd District covers the western half of Leavenworth County, including Tonganoxie, Easton and a portion of Leavenworth, as well as part of Douglas County, including Eudora.

Buonsuay Khanya had pleaded guilty to 11 charges, most of them drug-related,

for crimes on multiple dates in 2011 and 2012. As part of a plea agreement, the charges were consolidated into one case.

Pokorny sentenced Khanya to the maximum 68 months on the marijuana charge, as well as 15 months on a possession of cocaine with intent to distribute charge. Those sentences were imposed

consecutively, adding up to a total of 83 months in prison. Several other sentences were handed down, but all run concurrent with the more serious charges.

Khanya also will face three years supervised probation and will be required to register as a drug offender for 15 years following his release.

The Obama campaign and convention organizers on Monday announced that Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic Senate candidate in Massachusetts and a popular figure among Obama liberals, will get a featured speaking role.

Warren headed the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the committee that examined the bank bailout. She also was the leading advocate for a consumer financial protection agency, created under the 2010 overhaul of financial regulations.

Warren’s convention address will precede Clinton’s.

Several prominent Democrats began pushing earlier this year for support of same-sex marriage to be included in the convention platform. The effort got a boost in May when Obama voiced his personal support for same-sex unions.

All eyes on European Central Bank’s Draghi to fight euro crisis

By David McHugh Associated Press

FRANKFURT, GERMANY — European Central Bank President Mario Draghi has already taken Europe’s monetary authority into uncharted territory.

Now, with the debt crisis in Europe threatening further disaster, he may have to push it even farther into the unknown to save the euro.

The 17 countries that use the euro are struggling as economies across the region face deepening recessions. Spain and Italy, the two chief trouble spots, are threatened with a financial collapse that could tear the 13-year old currency union apart and rock the global economy.

Spain’s bond borrowing costs, or yields, have hit record highs recently as it tries to prop up its stricken banking sector and meet requests for financial aid from its regional governments.

That has raised fears the country may be the next to seek a bailout from the

other eurozone countries, following Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Cyprus.

Italy, attempting to keep a handle on its debts in a stagnant economy, is also feeling the heat.

Then last Thursday, Draghi sharply raised expectations for more central bank action when he vowed the ECB would do “whatever it takes” to save the 17-country euro, and that “believe me, it will be enough.” Markets jumped on the news, expecting that the bank could soon intervene in bond markets to drive down the borrowing costs that are threatening Spain and Italy.

In the days following Draghi’s comments, politicians across Europe have added their voices to pledges of action for the eurozone. First came a joint statement from Angela Merkel of Germany and France’s Francois Hollande, followed by another from Merkel and Italy’s Mario Monti.

This was followed by the head of the eurozone’s finance ministers group,

by Scott Adams

Jean-Claude Juncker, and German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble.

All eyes are on Draghi to see what the ECB can deliver.

Yet Draghi and the 23-member governing council face a key constraint: They must contend with the demands of fearstricken financial markets on one side and its founding treaty on the other.

Why Mars again?

A look at NASA’s latest venture

By Alicia Chang

By Bassem Mroue and Zeina Karam Associated Press

PASADENA, CALIF. — NASA’s new robot rover named Curiosity has spent 8 1/2 months hurtling through space toward its destination Sunday on Mars. It is set to land near the foot of a mountain rising from a giant crater.

This marks NASA’s 19th mission and eighth landing attempt.

BUKULMEZ, TURKEY — Smoking a cigarette outside a Turkish hospital near the Syrian border, a man in a gray gown and flip-flops held his sleeping 2-year-old daughter, Aya. On Aya’s right eye was a bandage. In her left hand was a chocolate bar.

Aya lost her eye when she was struck by shrapnel from a shell that also killed her 8-month-old brother, Mohammad, and their mother. The father and daughter were among some 200,000 people who the U.N. said late Sunday have fled Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, during days

Q: A:

Why Mars again?

The big unknown remains.

Scientists want to know if any form of life ever existed there, and that means microscopic organisms. Since the 1960s, spacecraft have zipped past, orbited or landed on Mars in this quest.

Two small NASA rovers that arrived in 2004 explored different craters and one is still functioning today.

Curiosity is the most ambitious effort ever, but it’s not the be-all and end-all. During its twoyear exploration, it will try to answer whether the giant crater where it lands had the right conditions to support microbes. But future missions would still be needed for more answers.

phosphorus, sulfur and oxygen, as well as minerals that might provide clues about possible energy sources.

Q: How did Curiosity get its name?

A: The spacecraft is formally called the Mars Science Laboratory. In 2008, NASA held a naming contest open to students and selected Curiosity, proposed by a sixth-grader By Jacques Billeaud and Paul Davenport from Lenexa, Kan.

Q: What does this mission cost?

A: $2.5 billion. That’s $1 billion over its original budget. Curiosity was supposed to launch in 2009 and land in 2010, but development took longer than expected.

of clashes between rebels and the military.

Aleppo residents, some severely wounded, are packing up belongings and loading them onto cars, trucks and even motorcycles to seek temporary shelter in rural villages and schools outside the city and dusty tents across the border in Turkey.

In interviews with The Associated Press, refugees described a city besieged by government troops and beset by incessant shelling. Food supplies and gasoline are running low and black market prices for everyday staples are soaring.

As the violence intensified, the country’s most senior diplomat in London defected. Charge d’affaires

Khaled al-Ayoubi is the latest in a string of high-profile diplomats to abandon President Bashar Assad’s regime over a crackdown that, according to rights activists, has killed more than 19,000 people since March 2011.

The battle for Aleppo, a city of 3 million Assad that was once a bastion of support for Assad, is critical for both the regime and the opposition. Its fall would give the opposition a major strategic victory with a stronghold in the north. A rebel defeat, at the very least, would buy Assad more time.

Federal judge says Arizona’s abortion ban can take effect Associated Press

PHOENIX — Arizona’s ban on abortions starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy is poised to take effect this week as scheduled after a federal judge ruled Monday that the new law is constitutional.

U.S. DisHEALTH trict Judge James Teilborg said the statute may prompt a few pregnant women who are considering abortion to make the decision earlier. But he said the law is constitutional because it doesn’t prohibit any women from making the decision to end their pregnancies.

The judge also wrote

that the state provided “substantial and well-documented” evidence that an unborn child has the capacity to feel pain during an abortion by at least 20 weeks.

Republican Gov. Jan Brewer signed the measure into law in April, making Arizona one of 10 states to enact types of 20week bans.

Arizona’s ban, set to take effect Thursday, prohibits abortions starting at 20 weeks of pregnancy except in medical emergencies.

That is a change from the state’s current ban at viability, which is the ability to survive outside the womb and which generally is considered to be about 24 weeks. A normal pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks.

The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights and another group

filed a notice that they would be appealing Teilborg’s decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“Today’s decision casts aside decades of legal precedent, ignoring constitutional protections for reproductive rights that have been upheld by the United States Supreme Court for nearly 40 years and threatening women’s health and lives,” said Nancy Northup, the center’s president and CEO. Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery, who was sued as part of the challenge, said there was no telling whether the appeals court would prevent the law from taking effect. Commenting on Monday’s decision, Montgomery said, “I thought it was sound legal reasoning and reached the appropriate conclusion.”

on $5B payment

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service is bracing for a first-ever default on billions in payments due to the Treasury, adding to widening uncertainty about the mail agency’s solvency as first-class letters plummet and Congress deadlocks on ways to stem the red ink.

With cash running perilously low, two legally required payments for future postal retirees’ health benefits — $5.5 billion due Wednesday, and another $5.6 billion due in September — will be left unpaid, the mail agency said Monday. Postal officials said they also are studying whether they may need to delay other obligations. In the coming months, a $1.5 billion payment is due to the Labor Department for workers compensation, which for now it expects to make, as well as millions in interest payments to the Treasury.

The defaults won’t stir any kind of catastrophe in day-to-day mail service.

Post offices will stay open, mail trucks will run, employees will get paid, current retirees will get health benefits.

But a growing chorus of analysts, labor unions and business customers are troubled by continuing losses that point to deeper, longer-term financial damage, as the mail agency finds it increasingly preoccupied with staving off immediate bankruptcy while Congress delays on a postal overhaul bill.

Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe has described a “crisis of confidence” amid the mounting red ink that could lead even once-loyal customers to abandon use of the mail.

Interim plan Lawrence library officials must carefully evaluate whether the services that could be provided at a temporary location during library construction are worth the cost.

L

ibrary and city officials are faced with an interesting balancing act when it comes to maintaining library services during a construction period that could stretch as long as two years.

Moving library operations to another downtown location while the library undergoes a $19 million expansion almost certainly would provide easier access and better service for library patrons.

However, the cost of such a move wasn’t included in the bond issue that will fund the expansion, and library officials are uncertain where money would come from to finance it. They had hoped that vacating the building would speed the completion of the project and perhaps reduce the costs enough to help finance a move. The construction manager for the library project is studying possible savings, but if the savings fall short of the amount needed to lease a location and move some of the library’s operations, officials will have to look at other ways to finance that cost or do the best they can to accommodate patrons at the current site.

There are good arguments for moving key library operations to another downtown site. No part of the current library building will be spared during the construction. That means that, without a move, library staff and functions would be forced to move several times during the construction period. Power interruptions that come with construction likely would play havoc with the library’s own computer system as well as the computers available to the public. Perhaps the biggest factor, however, is parking. The parking lot to the south of the library will be largely unavailable during the construction project, which includes building a three-level parking garage on part of that lot. Given all of these factors, it would be difficult for the library to continue even basic services like children’s activities and computer access at the current site during construction.

For that reason, it makes sense for the library to do whatever it can afford to do to mitigate the impact of the construction project on patrons. A temporary location couldn’t offer all of the services now available at the library, but it could provide a place for children’s story hour, current periodicals, perhaps some public meeting space and at least limited public computer access. Maybe the library could move a limited selection of videos and books to that location and have a system for quickly providing other materials when they are requested. It wouldn’t be the level of service patrons expect at the current library, but it would be better than trying to visit the library during various stages of construction with extremely limited parking.

Obviously, library officials need to examine the trade-offs carefully. Can they provide adequate service at the current location at a lower cost than moving to another location? Will services be adequate at a temporary location to justify the cost of a move?

Maintaining library services is important to the community, but it must be done in a fiscally responsible way.

We all know what conventional economists say about the future of Latin America: Venezuela, Argentina, Bolivia and other countries that pursue populist policies will go downhill, whereas Chile, Peru, Colombia and others that pursue “responsible” economic policies will do great.

So when I interviewed the most unconventional among the best-known U.S. economists — Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman — last week, I was eager to know whether he agrees with the conventional wisdom on Latin America.

Krugman, who has just published a book titled “End This Depression Now!” — in which he argues that the United States and Europe should increase their economic stimulus packages to jumpstart the world economy, rather than continuing to cut public spending — is often cited by Latin America’s populist governments as a supporter of their big spending policies.

Earlier this year, Argentina’s President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner enthusiastically cited in a speech one of Krugman’s “Conscience of a Liberal” blogs in The New York Times, in which he stated that Argentina’s economy is getting unfair treatment from the media.

Asked whether he agrees with mainstream U.S. economists that Latin America’s “populist” governments will end up destroying their economies, while “responsible”

“

I agree with most of Krugman’s views on Latin America, especially his recommendation that Mexico focus on the ‘boring but necessary stuff,’ such as education and infrastructure.”

governments will do much better, Krugman surprised me by being much closer to the mainstream — at least on this issue — than one might have suspected.

“The little bit that we know is that the old rules still apply: If you print money to cover your bills even when the economy is not in a recession, you will get high inflation. If you follow irresponsible populist policies, it will hurt growth. So I don’t think that Venezuela is any kind of role model,” he said.

“On the other hand, the hard-line free market stuff has not worked the way it was supposed to,” he added. “We had heard prom-

ises of great growth in Mexico for decades now, and Mexico is not terrible now, but it certainly has not had the kind of takeoff.

The economies that seem to do the best are the ones that seem to have somewhat middle-of- the road policies, that are basically free market, responsible fiscal policies, but also make some serious efforts at poverty reduction, Brazil being the obvious case.”

Asked about Argentina, he said that “it’s not a good story either, although it’s not in the Venezuelan league.”

According to Krugman, “Argentina had a remarkable recovery from its crisis of the early years of the last decade, but clearly they have gone on with the populist policies too far too long. ... If they had made a turn to more moderate policies in 2007, then the Argentine story would be an entirely positive one. Instead, they kept their foot on the gas pedal.”

Despite the fact that the region’s economy is expected to slow down from 4.3 percent last year to about 3.7 percent this year, Krugman said he is “still relatively optimistic” about the region.

“I don’t see anything in the latest data that would lead me to believe that it’s actually going to get caught up in the full depth of the (world) crisis,” he said.

On whether he is more optimistic about Brazil or Mexico, he said that “while I am not a dire pessimist about Mexico,” Brazil right now looks more promis-

ing. “I don’t think there is an easy policy explanation about why Brazil has done better. It just seems that there seems to be more of an entrepreneurial drive,” he said.

Asked what would be his advice for Mexico’s virtual president-elect Enrique Pena Nieto, Krugman said that Mexico has been pursuing sound economic policies, but that now “it needs to work on all the boring but necessary stuff: education, infrastructure and rule of law, which is a big issue for Mexico.”

“The best thing you could do for the Mexican economy would be to control the drug trade and the crime wave, and hope that the reshoring of production from China (to Mexico) finally generates the economic miracle we keep waiting for,” he added.

My opinion: I agree with most of Krugman’s views on Latin America, especially his recommendation that Mexico focus on the “boring but necessary stuff,” such as education and infrastructure.

That should be sound advice for the entire region, and perhaps for the United States, too. I would only add that the biggest challenge for our part of the world is to stop seeing these tasks — especially education — as “boring,” and re-packaging them as the most exciting challenge of our generation.

Head, Kenneth Spencer Research Library

Lawrence Journal-World editors recently shared thoughts regarding plans for the North Gallery of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library (“Donor Wishes,” July 26), and I would like to provide a bit of context for this conversation.

The word “iconic” is often overused, but I believe it describes, better than any other word, the power of the Spencer Library’s North Gallery. The exposed shelving of the North Gallery has housed outstanding items from Special Collections since the opening of the library in 1968. Its visual and intellectual appeal cannot be overstated. It not only houses books, like a section of the larger Summerfield Collection volumes, for example, but intriguing artifacts like several horn books and the jumbled writs of habeus corpus that fascinate visitors every day.

However, as the editorial writer noted, the space still remains relatively hidden. As such, I recently

With the consolidation of the public spaces of Special Collections, Kansas Collection and University Archives, and the continuing desire to provide a more interpretive context for our collections in general, we are considering how best to program this stunning space as a true gallery. Bringing

diversity and experience into the space through an interesting array of physical and virtual exhibit stations will allow the North Gallery, and by extension, the library itself, to become even more of a destination on campus.

The intent of the Spencer gift remains our guiding principle. When the building was dedicated more than 40 years ago, it was noted: “A university library is the custodian of the world’s actual knowledge and the reservoir of its potential. It preserves and makes available the results of previous human seeking; it makes possible the fruitful continuation of research. It will live as a monument to the meaningful life of a creative man, and also to learning, as it continues to produce new knowledge and understanding.”

Today, those words still ring true, thanks not only to the generosity of Mrs. Spencer, but also because of the stewards whose vision has helped it grow. We look forward to charting a future worthy of this incredible campus resource.

He has been leading the strenuous life since coming into Kansas and is tired from his speech making and rapid dashes from one Chautauqua platform to another.”

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH BILL SELF, LEFT, AND KU FOOTBALL COACH CHARLIE WEIS VISIT before taking part in the “Rock Chalk Sports Talk” radio show on Monday night at the Oread Hotel.

Self: Freshmen ‘have a lot to learn’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

There’s never a dull moment for Bill Self when he’s working with Kansas University’s 10 freshmen basketball players.

“This year will be stressful in a lot of ways, because as Al McGuire said, ‘The best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores,’” Self, KU’s 10th-year coach, said Monday night after leading his squad through its seventh of 10 pre-European tour practice sessions.

“These guys have a lot to learn,” Self added. “I told them all multiple times that the freshmen that usually

“Perry’s been impressive,” Self said. “We’ve had other guys be impressive for short stints. I’d say Perry has been as impressive as anybody in the gym over the entire seven practices. He has a knack to score.

Of course, we need that (after) losing Thomas (Robinson).”

Ellis, who is ranked 24th nationally by Rivals.com, is KU’s highest-rated incoming recruit, followed by No. 51 Andrew White, 6-6, 210, out of Chester, Va. “Andrew can shoot. We need that (after) losing Conner (Teahan),” Self said. “Andrew Please see SELF, page 3B

ORLANDO, FLA. (AP) — With a new general manager and the status of All-Star Dwight Howard still in limbo, there’s much to be resolved before the Orlando Magic take the floor next season.

But the team’s top officials believe they have the right person in new head coach Jacque Vaughn to help turn the page on a year that almost everyone in the franchise wants to forget.

Magic general manager Rob Hennigan and CEO Alex Martins said Monday that Vaughn has the discipline, work ethic and pedigree as both a player and assistant to do the job.

“We’re going to continue to try to build a culture here,” Hennigan said at the news conference introducing Vaughn. “A culture that our players represent. A culture that our fans can be proud of. A culture our team will rally around. We feel we took a step in the right direction in building that culture with Jacque here today.”

Vaughn becomes the 10th coach in franchise history after 12 years as an NBA player and two years as and assistant in San Antonio. He takes over for Stan Van Gundy, who was fired in May. He said he’s looking forward to working with whoever is on the roster when training camp opens in a few months.

Asked if there was any hesitation in taking his first head coaching job with so much uncertainly surrounding the team and particularly Howard, he said the opportunity outweighed it all.

“Faith. Faith in your abilities. Faith in the people around you,” Vaughn said Please see VAUGHN, page 3B

U.S. takes back-to-back back golds ————

Franklin, Grevers win 100 backstroke titles; Lochte disappointing 4th in 200 free LONDON (AP) — There was backstroke dominance for the United States and another impressive French performance during another wild night at the Olympic pool.

American teenager Missy Franklin won the women’s 100-meter backstroke before Matt Grevers led a 1-2 finish for the U.S. in the same men’s race.

Franklin, a 17-year-old from Colorado and best hope for the U.S. program in the post-Michael Phelps era, had a brief 13-minute break after taking the final qualifying spot in the 200 freestyle semifinals before she had to get back into the water for the backstroke final.

No problem.

Australia’s Emily Seebohm, the top qualifier, led at the turn and was under worldrecord pace, but Franklin

Grevers then produced another rally in the men’s 100 backstroke and Nick Thomas made it a 1-2 finish for the Americans, touching for a silver medal with a 52.92.

The twin backstroke victories made up for a disappointing performance by U.S. star Ryan Lochte, who faded to fourth in the loaded 200 freestyle — won by France’s Yannick Agnel.

The towering Agnel was in front throughout in perhaps the most star-studded race of these games — even without Michael Phelps, who passed up a chance to defend his Olympic title.

Fifteen-year-old Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania got the win in the 100 breaststroke, holding off a late charge from world champion Rebecca Soni of the United States.

Favre loving life as prep coach HATTIESBURG, MISS. (AP) — Brett Favre lines up at the 40yard line and takes off in a dead sprint, juking briefly to his right before heading left.

He turns and lifts his arms just before quarterback Kirk McCarty’s wobbly pass hits him in stride, right on the hands. “Nice,� Favre said with a grin before firing a spiral back to McCarty. “A little ugly, but that will work.�

The three-time NFL Most Valuable Player made his living as one of the greatest quarterbacks in league history. Now he serves as an assistant coach. Or receiver. Or the film editor. Or anything else he thinks needs to be done to make Oak Grove High School a better football team.

Favre is beginning his coaching career in humble surroundings — as the offensive coordinator of a 1,500-student high school near his home in south Mississippi. He receives no money for the job, but that doesn’t mean he’s taking in lightly. “The stress is already getting to me,� Favre said, laughing. “I’ll wake up in the middle of the night saying, ‘Hey, maybe we can do this? Maybe that will work?’�

Favre has kept a low profile since retiring from the NFL in 2010. It’s been a stark contrast from his final few years in the league, which were filled with nearly constant on- and off-the-

Dyer stop video released by police The Associated Press

A state trooper who found marijuana and a gun in a car driven by Arkansas State running back Michael Dyer offered to call his coach even though he worried about “NCAA crap� and other fallout, according to video of a traffic stop released Monday.

Arkansas State Police released the 58-minute video and said it had completed an internal investigation into the March 10 stop. It released no details about the investigation, saying it involved personnel matters almost certainly tied to the actions of Trooper Royce Denney.

Dyer was ticketed for going 96 mph in a 70 mph zone, though audio and video from the stop indicate that either Dyer or another unidentified female were in possession of marijuana and a gun. Denney can be heard on the video talking at length with Dyer about how he should handle the incident. “What if I talk to (coach) Gus Malzahn, or however you say his name?� Denney asks at one point. “I really don’t want to tell him about this because of the NCAA crap. I know there’s a lot of stuff that goes on behind closed doors between coaches and players. I’m still in a predicament, even if I talk to coach.�

Denney also asks Dyer: “What about the weed?� and whether the running back thought it would be “all out of your system� in a month. He berates Dyer for having a gun, saying “You don’t need it. If you think it makes you look cool, you’re stupid.� “It pisses me off that someone of your stature and your ability does this kind of stupid (expletive),� Denney adds.

It was unclear whether the trooper contacted Malzahn or Arkansas State about the traffic stop. The Associated Press requested comment from Malzahn at midday Monday. State police spokesman Bill Sadler said Denney is not currently conducting patrols.

Malzahn coached Dyer at Auburn, and recruited the running back to Arkansas State after he was hired to coach the Red Wolves. He dismissed the running back from the team over the weekend, citing an unspecified violation of team rules.

FORMER NFL QUARTERBACK BRETT FAVRE, now an assistant football coach at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, Miss., guards a wide receiver on Monday during the first day of official practice for the fall high school football season. field drama. After a couple years to decompress, he has emerged at Oak Grove, working under veteran high school coach Nevil Barr.

During his playing career, Favre would often work out at Oak Grove in the offseason, throwing passes to the receivers or lifting weights. Barr was always impressed with the way Favre interacted with the players, serving as a mentor even when he could have been aloof. So when Favre returned to Mississippi, Barr always kept in touch to see if the quarterback would be willing to join his staff.

This fall, the timing was right.

And the 42-year-old was obviously having a good time Monday morning under the steamy July sun.

One moment he’d be firing passes to receivers. The next, poring over play charts with other assistants. “What I like best is he’s enthusiastic,� Barr said. “He makes it fun. Football should be fun.

Sometimes we forget that these kids play football because they enjoy it. Everybody knows he’s competitive and he likes to win, but the biggest thing is watching how he treats our kids. The

way he teaches and his patience.

It shocked me how patient he’s been.�

It’s a way for Favre to get back in the game without straying too far from home. His 13-yearold daughter is entering the eighth grade at Oak Grove and he’ll be able to see almost all of her volleyball games this season — though he may be diagraming a football play or two on a notepad while sitting in the stands.

Favre said he’s thought about getting into broadcasting or a higher level of coaching, but is content to wait until his daughter is out of high school.

Favre said during these early days of training camp, he’ll lean on the other coaches to learn the terminology and scheme.

But what he offers immediately is the real-world experience of dealing with people, directing a huddle and figuring out what can turn a good player into a better one.

Whether it’s Green Bay or Oak Grove, some things in football don’t change. “I really believe I’m good at reading people,� Favre said. “From being in the huddle, being in the locker room and in all those meetings for all those years, I understand that some people learn this way and some learn another way. ... My whole job is to try and keep things simple. The more you have to think, the less your talent can show.�

NFL receiver out of FHSU dies in apparent suicide TAMPA, FLA. — Hours after sending a gracious yet puzzling middle-of-the-night text message to a former college coach, police say Tennessee Titans receiver O.J. Murdock died in an apparent suicide.

Tampa police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said officers found Murdock about 8:30 a.m. inside his car with what appeared to be selfinflicted gunshot wounds. The car was parked in front of Middleton High School, where Murdock made a name for himself as a dynamic receiver and state champion sprinter in track and field.

Al McCray, assistant head coach/receivers at Fort Hays State, said when he woke up at his Kansas home on Monday he found a message on his cell phone from the player, thanking him for everything he had done for Murdock and his family. The athlete concluded the text with an apology that baffled McCray, who said he had known the 25-year-old since Murdock Murdock was in middle school.

McCray was an assistant coach at Middleton when Murdock was there and later helped the player resume his college career after he was kicked off the team at South Carolina, where he was part of Steve Spurrier’s first recruiting class.

Murdock, who signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent in 2011 and spent all of last season on injured reserve, was taken to Tampa General, where he died.

The speedy receiver did not report to training camp over the weekend because of what the Titans said at the time was a personal issue. He last was with the team in June for mini-camp.

As a senior at Middleton in 2005, Murdock was rated the 10th-best wide receiver recruit in the nation by Rivals.com. He signed with South Carolina, but played in only four games, making one catch, after red-shirting his first season.

He was arrested for shoplifting at a Florida department store during that 2006 season and suspended.

Murdock transferred to Pearl River Community College in Mississippi and then to Fort Hays State, where he helped he helped transform one of the nation’s least productive Division II offenses into one of the more prolific. As a senior in 2010, he had 60 catches for 1,290 yards and 12 touchdowns.

That earned him an invitation to the NFL scouting combine. After going undrafted, he was signed by the Titans last summer but spent the entire 2011 season on injured reserve after hurting his right Achilles early in training camp.

Murdock had been out of football for two years when McCray talked him into doing the necessary academic work necessary to get back into school and, hopefully, rekindle his career.

McCray said Murdock’s polite, humble disposition and infectious smile made him a big hit at Fort Hays State, which was stunned by Monday’s news.

Chiefs sign former Ravens LB ST. JOSEPH, MO. — The Kansas City Chiefs have signed linebacker Edgar Jones and placed defensive back Kyle McCarthy on injured reserve.

Jones was with Baltimore the previous five seasons and saw action as both a linebacker and tight end.

McCarthy signed with Kansas City in February after two years in Denver. He injured his knee in practice on Saturday.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Pearl, Greenberg join ESPN BRISTOL, CONN. — Former coaches Bruce Pearl and Seth Greenberg have joined ESPN as college basketball analysts.

The network also announced Monday that Jalen Rose will be a featured analyst on the weekly “College GameDay.�

Pearl was fired in March 2011 after six seasons at Tennessee in the wake of an NCAA investigation. He led the Volunteers to the NCAA Tournament in each of his seasons. He was a commentator for Sirius XM Radio last season.

Greenberg, who served as a guest studio analyst during the 2012 NCAA Tournament, was fired in April after nine seasons at Virginia Tech. He also coached at South Florida and Long Beach State.

Rose has been an NBA analyst for ESPN since 2007. The NBA veteran reached the Final Four as a member of Michigan’s Fab Five.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Safety is first Penn St. transfer STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Penn State backup safety Tim Buckley is the first Nittany Lion to transfer in the wake of the NCAA sanctions against the university.

North Carolina State released a statement Monday announcing Buckley, a North Carolina native, would join the Wolfpack for the team’s first practice today. The former walk-on redshirted last season at Penn State, so he’ll have four years of eligibility left.

The NCAA allowed Penn State players to seek immediate transfers after the sanctions against the school for the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Most of coach Bill O’Brien’s players appear to be sticking with Penn State, though a handful of other players are at least considering a transfer.

The most notable name is star tailback Silas Redd, who visited Southern California this weekend.

Kansas TE coach Weis fan ————

Blasko says his boss ‘creative,’ poised

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When the Kansas University football team finds itself in an early deficit or some other predicament this season, tight ends coach Jeff Blasko is confident the man in charge won’t get rattled.

Blasko was the quality-control coach for the Florida offense in 2011 and worked side-by-side with Charlie Weis, offensive coordinator for the Gators at the time. When Blasko thinks about the qualities he admires in Weis, the first-year KU head coach, his mind takes him back to a Florida home game last November against Furman, an NCAA FCS team.

The heavily-favored Gators trailed by 15 points twice in the first quarter.

The unspoken, overwhelming feeling in the coaches’ box, Blasko said, was: “This isn’t supposed to be happening.”

As Blasko described the situation, Weis kept his cool, held everything together, and Florida recovered for a 54-32 victory.

Vaughn CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

about what drives him.

“One of the great character-building attributes of the franchises I’ve been around — the foundation and the basis — is having good people around you.

The DeVos family is about that. Alex Martins is about that. And I know Rob Hennigan is about that.

“And so for me, it was a no-brainer that with these

is going to be a good player. He’s still figuring things out. He’s a tall guard …

6-foot-6 guys who can shoot it … they are fun to have.”

As far as the big man group that includes Ellis, 6-9 Peters and 6-10 Lucas, Self said: “Stop and think about our bodies inside. Jeff (Withey), Justin (Wesley), Kevin (Young), Jamari, Landen, Perry, Zach ... even though we are not big girth-wise, still that’s seven bodies we can throw at you. It means we can foul a lot and not be penalized as much. Last year, if Thomas got two fouls in the first half, it was, ‘Oh, geez, what are we going to do?’ Hopefully this year we’ll have a little more depth.”

“He is extremely intelligent, extremely creative, and I’ll tell ya, one of his best qualities is his poise in adverse situations, which a lot of people don’t usually talk about,” Blasko said.

“When things aren’t going particularly well, or you’re at the end of the game in a two-minute situation, he’s the guy you want at the helm. Nothing fazes him.”

Blasko looked up to Weis, and the coaching veteran saw enough in his young assistant to add him to the staff at Blasko KU, where Blasko also will serve as the assistant special-teams coordinator. After spending three seasons as a graduate assistant at Akron and one year at Florida, Blasko is grateful to keep working alongside Weis at Kansas.

“There’s not a day goes by where you don’t learn something new,” Blasko said.

Having Blasko around has proven to benefit other offensive assistants. The KU tight ends coach was described as a hard worker by both running-backs coach Reggie Mitchell and wide receivers coach Rob Ianello, and Blasko’s two cohorts said his familiarity with the offense has already proven helpful.

Said Mitchell: “I go in and sit down with him, and I’ll ask him questions.

He’s gonna be a really good football coach.”

Ianello, like Weis, has worked on the same staff as Blasko before.

“He studies the game, and I really thought in my time with him at Akron he had a good rapport with the players,” Ianello said.

“The players liked him, but he could be hard on them.”

Upon arriving at Kansas, Blasko inherited an inexperienced group of tight ends. Tim Biere, third on the team in receiving yards in 2011, was gone, leaving only Jimmay Mundine and Trent Smiley — eight catches

between them last year — as the most accomplished options.

But in April, tight end Mike Ragone transferred to KU from Notre Dame, where he played in 37 games in five seasons (he missed all of 2008 and all but one game in 2011 because of injuries). Ragone has been named to the Mackey Award Watch List.

Blasko expects to use one to three tight ends, depending on the package: “The beauty of Coach Weis’ offense, is it’s so multiple. He builds his offensive system around what his players do well.”

The young coach is looking forward to the chance to coach an offensive unit, especially after toiling as a grad assistant and holding a quality control position.

“I’m just excited about having my own room and having the full-time opportunity,” he said. “It’s why you deprive yourself of all that sleep. It’s why you eat all that junk food.”

gentlemen everything is OK. I’ll stick my neck out for them.”

Howard recently reissued a trade demand to the team and said he has no desire to play in Orlando for the final year of his contract.

Hennigan confirmed a second face-to-face meeting with the All-Star center, describing it mainly as a status meeting to check on his rehabilitation from back surgery, among other things.

Beyond that, he said he wants to keep their con-

versations private, refusing to say whether he has ruled out having Howard on the roster for training camp.

“One thing we’ll tell our fans is that we’ll continue look at all options to try and improve this team,” he said. “And we’ll continue to build piece by piece (and) brick by brick into something that is sustainable. At the end of the day it’s about putting a group of guys on the floor that want to be coached by Jacque, who want to be led by Jacque

and represent the values and attributes that our fan base can really rally around.”

Vaughn singled out Roy Williams, his coach at Kansas University, former Utah coach Jerry Sloan and Spurs’ coach Gregg Popovich as the mentors who’ve had the most influence on his coaching pursuit. He considered the career after “my knees and ankles started hurting” toward the end of his playing days.

“You get a little smarter then,” Vaughn said.

Speaking of the freshman group as a whole, Self noted: “Nobody’s been great, but as a group they are trying hard. This is going to be a fun team to coach.”

Self said senior point guard Elijah Johnson, who had arthroscopic knee surgery in April, is 100 percent healed.

“Elijah is practicing full speed,” Self said. “He is out of shape, obviously.

He took three months off from the surgery. He’s out of shape, doesn’t have his rhythm, yet we are so much better when he’s out there.”

The Jayhawks will leave for Switzerland on Sunday and play four games (a week from today, Wednesday, Saturday and Aug. 12) in Switzerland and Paris.

“I don’t know how we’ll do things once practice starts. We are three months from that,” Self said. “In Europe? I’m go-

ing to play everybody about the same. I am going to have them all out there trying and playing together. I don’t care that much about combinations.

I don’t know what we can really find out about ourselves in August as far as combinations. Some guys pick things up better than others, but I will give everybody an opportunity to play. We may have five freshmen out there playing at once, and we may not look very good, but still it’ll be a good experience for them.”

This, that: KU’s exhibition games will not be televised and not be broadcast on the radio. ... KU football coach Weis declined to speak to the media after his stint on “Rock Chalk Sports Talk.” ... KU is now recruiting Frank Mason, an unranked 5-11 senior point guard from Petersburg (Va.) High, Rivals. com reports.

MATT TAIT’S KU FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK Captain Opurum: Kansas motivated by 2-10 record Rarely one to wear his feelings on his sleeve, Kansas University senior co-captain Toben Opurum recently talked bluntly about the toll KU’s 2-10 season a year ago took on him and his teammates.

“There’s no way you can go 2-10 and not be motivated by that,” Opurum said at Big 12 media days last week in Dallas. “It’s embarrassing, to be honest, and it’s not something that anybody wants to Opurum be a part of any more.

That alone will motivate guys to give a little more effort and play with a little more intensity.”

KU coach Charlie Weis also has discussed the role that the past two seasons would play in his rebuilding project, and he, too, said he believed the record harmed his team’s confidence.

“One issue, the one that everyone sees, is the fact that we’re 2-10 and 3-9 over the last two years, having won one conference game in that time frame,” Weis said. “The other one, which I think is maybe even more important, were not the losses last year but how badly they lost so often.”

The Jayhawks lost six games by 30 or more points a year ago, and, while he might not be able to promise more victories right away, Weis said it is his intention to put a more competitive team on the field immediately.

“Once you get your team more competitive on a weekly basis, more wins will naturally follow,” Weis said. “That that’s the

No. 1 job that we have to permeate all the way down to our players is that we expect them to know what to do and go out and do it hard for 60 minutes. I think that at least gives you a chance.”

Opurum honored Opurum on Monday was one of 40 college football players named to the Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award Preseason Watch List.

The 6-foot-2, 245-pound senior from Richardson, Texas, who finished the 2011 season with 45 tackles, including 10.5 behind the line of scrimmage and four sacks, will split time between defensive end and Sam linebacker. He played defensive end during the entire 2011 season after switching from running back to linebacker in 2010.

In its 11th season, the Ted Hendricks Award is named after the first three-time All-American, who played at the University of Miami.

DT McKinney delayed Monday night, during a joint appearance with KU men’s basketball coach Bill Self on KLWN’s “Rock Chalk Sports Talk,” Weis confirmed that junior college defensive tackle Ty McKinney, of Trinity Valley CC in Athens, Texas, would report to camp at least a couple of days late.

McKinney, who was originally slated to arrive on campus in June but had to stay in Texas to finish a class, was one of the late arrivals Weis talked about last week in Dallas. He emphasized that even though McKinney would be late, McKinney was still coming and would still play.

The Jayhawks are slated to report to campus Wednesday and will begin fall practice Thursday.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Morales switch-homers ————

Angel blasts Texas from left, right in same inning The Associated Press

Angels 15, Rangers 8 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Kendrys Morales homered from both sides of the plate during a ninerun sixth inning, capping the burst with a grand slam that sent Los Angeles romping past Texas on Monday night.

Morales became the third switch-hitter in major-league history to homer as a lefty and righty in the same inning.

Carlos Baerga did it for Cleveland in 1993, and Mark Bellhorn of the Chicago Cubs duplicated the feat in 2002.

The Angels won the opener of the four-game series and closed within four games of AL Westleading Texas.

Morales connected for a two-run shot in the sixth as a lefty off Texas starter Roy Oswalt that put the Angels ahead 5-3. Morales then hit a grand slam off Robbie Ross from the right side.

Morales became the 25th player in AL history to hit two home runs in the same inning.

Mike Trout homered, drove in four runs and scored three times for the Angels. Maicer Izturis also homered, and Albert Pujols doubled twice and singled.

Josh Hamilton hit his 29th homer, doubled and singled for Texas. Nelson Cruz and Mike Napoli also homered for the Rangers.

Ervin Santana (5-10) gave up three runs and four hits over five innings.

Oswalt (3-2) was chased in the sixth and allowed eight runs and 11 hits.

The Angels ended a 24-inning scoreless drought when Izturis hit a solo homer in the second.

Trout added a two-run shot in the third.

It was 3-all when the Angels broke loose in the sixth. Pujols led off with a double, Morales homered, and Los Angeles hit five straight singles with one out.

Orioles 5, Yankees 4 NEW YORK — Nick Markakis drove in two runs, backing a solid outing by rookie Miguel Gonzalez, and Baltimore held on to beat struggling New York.

Gonzalez (3-2) cruised before he was chased by consecutive homers from Eric Chavez and Ichiro Suzuki that made it 5-4 in the seventh.

Suzuki had a chance to tie it with two runners on in the ninth, but grounded into a fielder’s choice. Jim Johnson earned his 31st save of the season.

ANGELS DESIGNATED HITTER KENDRYS MORALES WATCHES his two-run homer hit as a lefty fly away in the sixth inning (top) before following through on a grand slam as a righty later in the inning (above) against the Rangers on Monday in Arlington, Texas.

Morales became the third switch-hitter in majorleague history to homer from both sides of the plate in the same inning.

After Trout’s two-run single, Torii Hunter struck out, and Pujols was intentionally walked to load the bases again. Morales followed with his 11th home run of the season for a 12-3 lead.

Braves snap bad case of the Mondays ————

Atlanta beats Miami, 8-2, to end string of 16 straight Monday losses The Associated Press

Braves 8, Marlins 2 ATLANTA — Jason Heyward homered and scored three runs, and Atlanta snapped a string of 16 straight losses on Mondays, including 12 this season, by beating Miami on Monday night.

Starting pitcher Tommy Hanson was the only Atlanta player or coach who did not wear high socks in an apparent attempt to end the Monday curse.

Hanson (12-5) had his pants low to his shoes as he gave up one run on six hits in five innings.

The Braves, coming off a three-game sweep of the Phillies, have won six straight.

The Braves won on a Monday for the first time since Aug. 22, 2011, a 3-0 win at the Cubs.

Dave Barry on lonely kings, skimpy bikinis

By Dave Barry McClatchy Newspapers

LONDON — I went to see the Olympic beach volleyball competition, which is being held, fittingly, in the heart of Whitehall at the Horse Guards Parade.

I say “fittingly” because the Horse Guards have a beach volleyball tradition dating back more than five centuries, to the reign of King Cedric the Lonely. In those days the Horse Guards played an early form of the game called “volleybaa,” which involved batting a live sheep back and forth across a net. The game ended when one of the teams executed a “spike,” which — try not to visualize this — involved an actual spike. Then the Horse Guards would clean themselves off and go back to guarding the horses, which was an important job in those days because King Cedric was very lonely indeed.

Modern beach volleyball, of course, does not involve a sheep: It involves women wearing extremely small bikinis.

A ball is also sometimes involved, but nobody pays attention to it. There is a related Olympic event

GERMANY’S IIKA SEMMLER OF GERMANY STRIKES A GRACEFUL POSE as she returns the ball during a beach volleyball match against Brazil on Monday in London. called “men’s beach volleyball,” but it is far less popular, because it has an archaic rule requiring that the competitors be men.

I have a message for the officials in charge of men’s beach volleyball: This is the 21st century.

Your sport is never going to gain widespread public acceptance until you open the competition to allow

hot women in microscopic swimwear. I would give the same advice to officials of other littleknown Olympic sports seeking TV coverage, such as skeet-shooting, horse-riding, kayaking, table tennis and the luge.

On the day I went to beach volleyball, the stadium was packed, and they had the mandatory

announcer incessantly asking the audience members how they were doing and telling them when to cheer. I can remember a time, decades ago, when if you went to a sporting event, nobody told you when you were supposed to cheer: You had to figure it out on your own, based on physically watching the event.

Olympics CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

China’s score of 275.997 points was more than four points better than Japan, which needed help from a replay to finish second.

Britain initially was announced as the silver medalist, setting off raucous celebrations at the O2 Arena, Princes William and Harry included.

The British don’t have a proud history in gymnastics, and this was their first men’s team medal in a century.

But Japan questioned the score of three-time world champion Kohei Uchimura on pommel horse, the very last routine. While judges huddled around a video screen, the British partied and Uchimura and his teammates sat stone-faced against a wall.

About five minutes later, Uchimura’s score was revised, with judges giving him seven-tenths more credit for his dismount. Instead of 13.466, he scored 14.166 — enough to move Japan from fourth to second with a total of 271.952. Britain was bumped down to bronze.

There was a familiar sister act at Wimbledon on Monday, with Serena and Venus Williams each advancing in the singles tournament, then combining for a doubles win.

Other major champions to advance in singles included Roger Federer, Lleyton Hewitt, top-seeded Victoria Azarenka, Kim

UNITED STATES GUARD DIANA TAURASI, CENTER, VIES FOR THE BALL with Angola forward Sonia Guadalupe, right, and center Luisa Tomas, left. The U.S. women rolled to a 90-38 victory on Monday in London.

Clijsters, Petra Kvitova, Ana Ivanovic and threetime Wimbledon runnerup Andy Roddick.

Venus Williams waited an extra day because of rain to begin her bid for a record fourth gold medal in Olympic tennis, then defeated recent French Open runner-up Sara Errani of Italy 6-3, 6-1. Serena completed a July sweep of Poland’s Radwanska sisters by beating Urszula in the second round, 6-2, 6-3. She defeated Radwanska’s sister, Agnieszka, in the Wimbledon final this month. Federer also reached the third round, beating Julien Benneteau of France 6-2, 6-2.

“What a good day for fans between me, Venus, Roger and all the other

players,” Serena Williams said. “It’s really such a great experience.”

Also Monday, Switzerland stripped a soccer player of his Olympic accreditation after he sent a threatening and racist message on Twitter about South Koreans. The comments by Michel Morganella came hours after the Swiss lost to South Korea, 2-1, on Sunday.

The 23-year-old player said in the tweet that South Koreans “can go burn” and referred to them as a “bunch of mongoloids.”

Swiss Olympic team chief Gian Gilli said via a translator at a news conference that Morganella “discriminated against, insulted and violated the dignity of the South Korea

football team as well as the South Korean people.

Morganella later released a contrite statement through the Swiss Olympic team: “I am sincerely sorry for the people of South Korea, for the players, but equally for the Swiss delegation and Swiss football in general.

It’s clear that I’m accepting the consequences.”

Morganella is the second athlete kicked off an Olympic team in London for offensive Twitter comments. Last week, triple jumper Voula Papachristou was kicked off Greece’s Olympic team for her comments on Twitter mocking African immigrants and expressing support for a far-right political party.

Also we didn’t have “the wave.” It was a horrible time to be alive, which is why so many of the people who went through it are dead today.

But getting back to beach volleyball: The match I watched was between women’s teams from Italy and Russia.

Both of these teams appeared to be in excellent physical condition. I can remember a time, also decades ago (I’m sorry, but a lot of my life occurred decades ago) when the Cold War was going on, and we Americans hated the Russians, and our image of female Russian Olympic competitors was that they all weighed 327 pounds and had the same body type as a UPS truck and armpit hair that could conceal a household appliance. Let me just say, based on careful observation of the Russian women’s beach-volleyball team, that those days are OVER. It was a hard-fought match featuring a great deal of jumping around, and it was very close, but in the end, the victory went, as expected, to one of the two teams.

Afterward I used my media credential to gain

entrance to the “mixed zone,” where members of the news media can talk to the athletes and ask them professional questions about sports. I went over to where some reporters were interviewing one of the Russian players, whose name is Evgeniya Ukolova, or possibly Ukolova Evgeniya.

I stood there for a while before I realized that, as a professional, I should probably take some notes, so I did. Here they are, in their entirety: “She is speaking Russian.”

The next match was between Spain and the Czech Republic, but both teams consisted entirely of men, so, as a professional journalist whose job is to keep you, the reading public, informed, I left.

Speaking of keeping you informed, here is an: Urgent breaking olympic bulletin: There is a Chinese athlete here competing in trampoline — yes, trampoline is an Olympic event — and his name is Dong Dong. I am not making this up. It is not known at this time whether Dong Dong has any plans to visit Dorking.

A Colombian soccer player was suspended for two games after U.S. forward Abby Wambach said she was “sucker-punched” in the right eye by Lady Andrade during the 3-0 win by the U.S. on Saturday. Wambach called for FIFA to take action, while Andrade called it “an accident.”

FIFA says its disciplinary committee suspended Andrade for a group match Tuesday against France and for the quarterfinals if Colombia advances.

The rest of the Olympic action Monday:

Boxing Light heavyweight Damien Hooper rallied from a third-round deficit for a 13-11 victory over Marcus Browne, handing the U.S. team its first loss in London after a 4-0 start.

Hooper and Browne put on perhaps the best three minutes of the day after both fighters cautiously fought the first two rounds. The Australian raised his aggression in the third to overwhelm Browne, a Staten Island, N.Y., product.

In the afternoon session, Jordan’s first Olympic boxer, Ihab Almatbouli, won his opening bout, while Afghanistan’s first Olympic boxer, flyweight Ajmal Faisal, was eliminated in the evening.

Cuban teenager Robeisy Ramirez and Iranian light heavyweight Ehsan Rouzbahani also advanced.

Basketball Candace Parker and the U.S. women’s team are 2-for-2 in London, and this one was a laugher.

Parker had 14 points and 12 rebounds to help the United States to a 9038 rout against Angola.

The Americans (2-0) have won their last 35 games in the Olympics and four consecutive gold medals while Angola is looking for its first victory.

France had the most surprising win of the day, edging Australia 74-70 in overtime. Emilie Gomis scored all 22 of her points after halftime.

Belinda Snell connected from just past half court at the end of regulation, giving Australia a chance. But the Aussies had to play the extra session without stars Lauren Jackson and Liz Cambage — both had fouled out.

China, Turkey, Russia and Canada also won on the women’s side.

Volleyball The U.S. women’s team beat Brazil in an early rematch of the Beijing Games final.

Destinee Hooker had 23 points and Jordan Larson added 18 for the topranked Americans, who won 25-18, 25-17, 22-25, 25-21 to improve to 2-0 in pool play at Earls Court.

The American women have never won an Olympic gold medal in volleyball.

Beach volleyball Two-time gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings earned their 16th consecutive Olympic victory, beating the Czech Republic in straight sets.

Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I informally agreed to move in together once I’m out of college and he is in grad school. Right now, we have a long-distance relationship.

Here’s the problem.

I recently found a twoyear MFA program overseas that I’ve fallen in love with. I told my boyfriend that I’d like to apply, and initially, he seemed happy for me.

But whenever I want to discuss the details, he directs the conversation elsewhere.

I know this program means more time away from him, and I don’t expect either of us to change our plans. But it seems he expected me to move in with him wherever he ends up going for his master’s. Even if I don’t get into the MFA program, I still want to explore the world before settling down with him.

He doesn’t seem to get it.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Also, how do I get my parents to support my decision to go overseas? I don’t want them to yell at me. — Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: One of the signs of adulthood is taking responsibility for your choices and being confident in the face of objections from others. You should listen and take into account those whose opinions you respect (such as your parents and boyfriend), but the final decision is yours, good or bad. Own it.

The summer of dance continues Is there room for another dance show?

Just days after “Dancing With the Stars” concluded on ABC, Fox brought us the latest season of “So You Think You Can Dance,” a superior and often overlooked talent series recently nominated for an Emmy in the best reality series category.

In May and June, CW aired “Breaking Pointe,” set in the closeknit and high-strung world of a ballet company. In addition to these dance series, there’s been the summerlong onslaught of “America’s Got Talent” and, now, the Olympic Games, with their own share of emotional backstories and performance melodrama.

In the face of so much competition and distraction, Oxygen launches “All the Right Moves” (8 p.m.), featuring impressive talent from familiar shows.

Some are even familiar faces.

Choreographer Travis Wall has worked on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Teddy Forance was both a dancer and choreographer on “Dancing With the Stars,” and Juilliard-trained dancer Kyle Robinson was also recently featured on “Dancing With the Stars.” Nick Lazzarini won “So You Think You Can Dance” in its very first season.

Tonight’s other highlights

Tonight’s scheduled events at the XXX Summer Olympics (7 p.m., NBC) include gymnastics, swimming and diving.

Challenges revolve around bedroom renovations on “Craft Wars” (7 p.m., TLC).

A visit to the rodeo on a twohour helping of “MasterChef” (7 p.m., Fox).

Kaldrick buries himself in work on “The L.A. Complex” (8 p.m., CW).

“History Detectives” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) looks into stories of birds trained to drop bombs during wartime and a slender swatch of fabric rumored to be connected to the American Civil War.

Dear Annie: I recently sent a small check to a friend of mine living in bankruptcy. The explicit “strings attached” to this gift were that he use it for a specific luxury item that has meaning to him and that he would not otherwise get for himself in his current financial straits.

He told me he used the money instead to pay an everyday bill. I considered my gift to be disrespected and told him so.

His response to my disappointment was to as-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, July 31: This year you often make extraordinary efforts to reach out to others who are withdrawn. Someone could open up at the most unexpected time, and you might wish he or she never had. If you are single, finding the right match can happen, but you often end up in fights with those who are not right for you. If you are attached, the two of you need to learn to express your needs and desires with less judgment.

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) You continue with the best of intentions. Your softer side emerges when you see how distraught someone is. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Push to get past an argument, and understand where someone else is coming from. You often are very serious. Tonight: Find someone to brainstorm with you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Success comes through dealing with others on a one-onone level. You can turn a problem around if you stay open. Tonight: Go off and do something you love.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, yet be responsive to a superior. Family and your personal life are always high priorities, but today they are even more so. Tonight: Close to home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Push yourself, and focus on what must be done. In fact, getting more done than anticipated will free you up when people in your life need your time. Tonight: Head home. Do only what you love.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a lot to reflect on, especially a situation involving a partner or loved one. Check out the possibility that money might be a part of the problem. Tonight: Lighten up the mood. Join friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to stop and think about what is going on.

Your home life takes priority at the moment. Tonight: Why resist coming to an agreement? Is it worth the stress?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Could you be swallowing anger or doing something else that does not serve you well? You have an opportunity to look this demon in the eye. Tonight: A conversation gives you insight.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A meeting could shed some light on an issue. You go out of your way more often than not to help friends. Tonight: Treat yourself to a favorite dessert on the way home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You can handle a difficult situation with someone you cannot avoid. Unfortunately, you’ll need to take this situation on to resolve the problem. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You need to see what is not being said. Someone seems to be direct, but this person is skipping over an important point.Tonight: Do something just for you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Zero in on what is important. A partner or loved one takes a stand. Tonight: Where the fun is.

GETTING A LEG UP By Raz Kelper

7/31

sail me verbally, saying I must think I’m better than he is, and then to go into a prolonged defense of his misuse of my gift.

I would have felt better if he had simply apologized, and I ended our relationship of more than 40 years. I feel I was played the fool. What do you think? — “Omerta” in New York Dear N.Y.: We think when you send a check to a friend who is living in bankruptcy, you don’t tell him to spend the money on a luxury item when his electricity is about to be turned off. You meant well, but your lack of empathy provoked his inappropriate verbal attack.

Ending a 40-year friendship in retaliation implies you have no appreciation whatsoever for his stressACROSS ful situation. How sad.
