The sands of Douglas County’s Kaw River Valley are once again drawing attention from a mining company.

Bill Penny, of Lawrence-based Penny’s Concrete, has filed plans with Douglas County officials to create a 351-acre sand pit mining operation between Lawrence and Eudora that could mine up to 5,000 tons of sand per day.

Penny is seeking a conditional use permit to create a pit mining operation near County Commishis company’s existing sand sioner Jim Flory dredging operation, which is about 1.5 miles northeast says, “These of the intersection of Noria sand projects Road and North 1500 Road. require a careful “We’re still very early in balancing act.” the review process,” said Mary Miller, a planner for the LawrenceDouglas County Planning Department.

The operation would not involve new dredging in the Kansas River, which is adjacent to the site. Instead, Penny is proposing to dig pits in the existing farm fields to get at the sand just below the surface.

Analysis: Kan. hospitals face penalties over readmissions ———

LMH likely won’t lose Medicare reimbursements

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Twenty-nine Kansas hospitals will be penalized by the government starting in October because their Medicare patients were readmitted too soon after discharge, according to a recent analysis by Kaiser Health News.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital is not one of them.

But Douglas County planners said they’re seeking more information about the number of pits and other details about the daily operations of the plant.

“If you are a neighbor, it is kind of hard to know what you think about this until you know more about their operational plan,” Miller said.

Attempts to reach Penny and representatives with Landplan Engineering, which filed the application for the company, were unsuccessful Wednesday.

The area near the proposed site is sparsely populated, but Miller said two homes are adjacent to the site.

Penny, whose Penny’s Concrete operates 24 concrete plants in eastern Kansas and western Missouri, has been dredging sand at the site for years.

But the latest proposal would be a major expansion of activities.

According to a study presented to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Office, the operation would produce about 5,000 tons of sand on a normal operating day. It also would produce about 200 trucks entering and leaving the facility on a normal work day, which is expected to stretch from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The project will need to ultimately receive a conditional use permit from the Douglas County Commission before it can proceed. But first it will go through a hearing at the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission. That hearing tentatively is set for the planning commission’s Sept. 24 meeting.

The proposal is at least the third in the last couple of years that has sought to mine sand in the Kaw River Valley.

In late 2009, Manhattan-based Midwest Concrete Materials, which purchased Lawrence’s LRM Industries concrete operations, sought to create a sand pit operation near Midland Junction in northern Douglas County.

Last year, Kansas Citybased Kaw Valley Companies Inc. sought to establish a nearly 200-acre sand pit operation along

or for faculty to meet for lunch,” Seuferling said.

And the focal point, he said, will be a new exhibit for the rules. The building will be connected to the other historical exhibits in the Booth Family Hall of Athletics.

“I think it’s spectacular, actually,” said David Booth, an Austin, Texas-based investor who purchased Naismith’s original KANSAS UNIVERSITY rules for $4.3 million at auction in December 2010 before donating them to KU. “The way things have worked out, I’m glad I was able to buy the rules.”

The square footage of the space, the look of the building and many other details will come later, after the architect has been selected, Seuferling said.

Neither project received approval. The Midland Junction proposal, which ultimately was moved to Jefferson County, drew opposition from airport leaders who believed the project would attract too many waterfowl to the area near the airport.

The Eudora proposal was heavily opposed by the city of Eudora, which expressed concerns the project would disrupt valuable groundwater supplies.

Both projects also created concerns about the loss of prime agricultural ground. Most of the sand supplies in the region are located beneath highly productive agricultural ground.

Douglas County Commissioner Jim Flory, who hasn’t yet studied the latest proposal, said the county clearly has a sought-after commodity in sand.

“These sand projects require a careful balancing act,” Flory said. “There are a lot of issues with traffic and land use that you have to keep in mind, but we have a definite, clear need for this product. We have to keep that in mind when we’re dealing with these requests.”

The study submitted to county planners indicates the majority of the sand will be shipped to the Kansas City area, where Penny’s operates a concrete plant off Kansas Highway 7 in Shawnee.

The study estimates that during the peak morning and afternoon hours, traffic from the plant will increase by about 40 trips from current levels.

The report, though, concludes the area road network can handle the additional traffic without major improvements.

collaborative approach,” LMH President and CEO Gene Meyer said of reducing its readmission rates.

He said doctors, nurses and social workers work together and then coordinate with area agencies to ensure the patient is taken care of once he or she returns home.

LMH receives about $60 million annually in Medicare reimbursements, and it likely won’t lose any of it because of the new penalties that are being implemented as part of the Affordable Care Act’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program.

Nearly one in five Medicare patients, or 2 million beneficiaries, are readmitted within 30 days of release each year, costing Medicare $17 billion in additional hospital bills, according to Kaiser Health News. The national average readmission rate has remained steady at slightly above 19 percent for several years, and that’s because hospitals have had little financial incentive to ensure patients received the care they needed once they left. That is until the Affordable Care Act, also known as health reform or Obamacare, was passed.

Beginning Oct. 1, hospitals can lose up to 1 percent of their base Medicare reimbursements. The penalties will be deducted from reimbursements each time a hospital submits a claim. For example, if a hospital received the maximum penalty of 1 percent and it submitted a claim for $20,000 for a stay, Medicare would reimburse it $19,800. The maximum penalty will increase to 2 percent in October 2013, and then it will increase to 3 percent the following year.

The penalties are based on the frequency that Medicare heart failure, heart attack and pneumonia patients were readmitted within 30 days between July 2008 and July 2011.

Kaiser analyzed hospital readmission records nationwide and released its findings last week. It found:

2,211 hospitals nationwide will be penalized a total of $280 million in Medicare funds.

278 hospitals will lose the maximum amount.

Several donations have been secured, but he declined to say how much money has been raised or to provide the names of people who have contributed so far.

Plans for who would operate the student center and what kinds of services would be in the building are still undetermined, said David Mucci, director of the KU Memorial Unions.

“It’s an interesting prospect, and it meets a lot of natural needs down there,” he said, adding he envisioned a space that served many purposes.

Today, the nearby Burge Union is used mainly for office space and meeting space, much of which would not be duplicated in the new center, Mucci said.

“You have a whole new

dynamic there, which I think is very exciting for a retail-based community center,” he said.

He said he could easily envision a coffee shop, a quick-service food court and Kansas Athletics’ KU Store having a presence in the new building.

One option would move the nearby Burge Union’s Crimson Cafe operation to the new space, Mucci said. With it could move Kansas Athletics’ Jayhawk Training Table program, which provides food service for KU athletes.

“To have a new topnotch facility built for Training Table and to have it in there with a piece of KU history is going to kick it up another notch,” Mucci said.

READMISSION PENALTIES Kaiser Health News recently released its analysis of the penalties hospitals could be facing because too many Medicare patients were readmitted within 30 days of discharge.

The maximum penalty amount is 1 percent of their base Medicare reimbursements. Here’s how hospitals fared in the Lawrence region:

Providence Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan. — 0.79 percent.

St. Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City, Mo. — 0.52 percent.

Shawnee Mission Medical Center — 0.45 percent.

Kansas University Hospital — 0.38 percent.

Menorah Medical Center, Overland Park — will be penalized.

2 Kansas hospitals will lose the maximum amount. They are Coffey County Hospital and Morton County Hospital.

KU Hospital faces penalty Kaiser Health News estimated that Kansas University Hospital would face a penalty of .38 percent for its readmission rate.

Dr. Lee Norman, KU Hospital senior vice president and chief medical officer, said the estimate was in line with the hospital’s estimates, which means they would lose about $360,000 a year.

KU Hospital receives about $75 million annually in Medicare reimbursements.

Norman said KU Hospital has worked to reduce readmission rates in a number of ways. Among them is a new “huddle concept” where the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, therapists and case managers meet briefly once a day to discuss each patient.

“This huddle concept is incredibly powerful for getting everybody on the same page with the family and with the patients,” he said.

Norman said they also try to identify early on the patients who are higher risk of readmission. Often, these are patients who have multiple conditions or lack support at home.

Norman, who has been a doctor for more than 30 years, said medicine is one of the leading causes of readmissions. He said patients either don’t understand their medications or they just don’t have the

0.37 percent.

Saint John Hospital, Leavenworth — 0.33 percent.

St. Luke’s Hospital South, Overland Park — 0.31 percent.

Overland Park Regional Medical Center — 0.15 percent.

Ransom Memorial Hospital, Ottawa — 0.13 percent.

Cushing Memorial Hospital, Leavenworth — 0.02 percent.

The following would receive no penalties: Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Olathe Medical Center, St. Francis Health Center of Topeka, and Stormont-Vail Healthcare of Topeka.

“Patients are proud.

They don’t want to tell their nurses and doctors that they don’t have the money to pay for the medication when they get home,” he said.

So KU Hospital staff members focus on educating the patients before they leave and often follow up once they are home.

“I personally think that paying for performance and paying for quality is the way to go,” Norman said. He pointed out that the readmission rate is just one measure, but there are other measures where KU is getting paid more because they are meeting or exceeding standards. “We have been very successful through the years of getting to the top of performance measures in terms of quality.”

KU is among the top 20 percent of academic hospitals nationally when it comes to taking care of patients with complicated cases.

“That’s an elite, select kind of patient that unfortunately is more likely to be readmitted,” Norman said.

“I just hope it doesn’t penalize us to a point where we worry about our mission.

To this point, we are not anywhere close to that.”

Retrial ordered after juror improperly uses smartphone

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A former federal inmate and cross-country truck driver, who earlier this year was convicted of kidnapping and sexual assault, will receive a new trial in October after a Franklin County judge declared a mistrial last month.

Ralph E. Corey, 52, was convicted in June on five counts, including attempted rape, kidnapping and sexual battery stemming from a February 2000 abduction of a 16-yearold Ottawa girl from the parking lot of the Ottawa Walmart.

But following the ver-

dict, a juror told a court employee that the juror accessed information about the case from a smart- Corey phone during the trial — in violation of the judge’s instruction — and a mistrial was declared on July 16, said Franklin County Attorney Stephen Hunting.

Corey was set to begin a three-day trial Wednesday, but his defense asked for, and received, an extension in order to review additional forensic evidence recently

tested by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Hunting said.

No arrests had been made in the case until 2011, when Corey’s DNA profile in the national DNA databank matched evidence collected at the scene.

When the profile matched, Corey was serving time in a federal prison in Arizona on counterfeiting charges. Corey also spent time in a Virginia prison after he was caught smuggling 500 pounds of marijuana through Virginia in a semitrailer.

Burros, horses to be auctioned; Fire Wyandotte Co. rec center update

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

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.

I don’t know much about burros (small donkeys) other than sometimes I share a nickname with them. I do know, however, where you can get a start on creating a burro herd.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management will hold a wild horse and burro adoption program today, Friday and Saturday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

The event will feature more than 50 horses and burros — both yearlings and adults — that once roamed free on public lands in the West. The Bureau of Land Management periodically removes the animals to maintain healthy herds and range lands.

It looks like a competitive bidding process will begin at 2 p.m. today for folks who want to compete for the best of the lot.

There will be a first-come, first-served adoption of animals this evening and again from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.

There is a minimum $125 adoption fee. A professional horse trainer also will be on hand during the three days to provide tips on how to properly train animals that have roamed the wide-open spaces of the West. In addition, two saddle-trained mustangs will be available for purchase. The auction for those two animals begins at 4 p.m. Friday.

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

People do have to meet some basic qualifications before they can adopt an animal. They mainly must be 18 or older, have no record of animal abuse and must have at least 400 square feet of properly equipped corral space.

I have had several of you ask for updates on whether there are serious plans to build a major indoor fieldhouse/ recreation center in the Legends shopping development in western Wyandotte County.

Interest in the topic is high, of course, because such a facility would be a formidable competitor to a similar facility being planned for the northeast corner of the South Lawrence Trafficway and Sixth Street.

Well, I can report there is nothing imminent in Wyandotte County. As we previously reported, there is a group that has been trying to convince the folks who own Sporting KC, who are connected to the folks who own the Cerner Corp., to build a youth fieldhouse instead of a large outdoor soccer complex.

The Sporting KC folks had signed an agreement with Wyandotte County to build a major public recreation facility as part of the deal that allowed the professional soccer

club to build a new stadium in the Legends complex.

The Kansas City-area businessman Bryan Hayes didn’t return my call seeking more information, but I did speak to a public relations official with the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan. That official said they were aware of some talk by outside parties who want to change the agreement to allow for an indoor fieldhouse rather than the outdoor soccer component, but he said the key point is that the original agreement for a soccer complex still stands.

“No modifications have been made to the agreement at this point,” said Edwin Birch, public information officer with the Unified Government.

“The soccer fields are still the main focus at the moment.”

Following Wyandotte County developments is not my specialty, so I don’t have a good read on what to make of this. My sense is that there is an effort under way by Mr. Hayes, but I’m not sure he has the political clout to pull it off. I tried to talk to some officials a bit higher up the ladder in Wyandotte County government but was unsuccessful. At some point, it will be interesting to see if the key leaders with Sporting KC/ Cerner who brokered this deal have anything to say.

I would guess they would have enough clout to pull off any number of things.

A hunter education course will be offered this fall for anyone in Douglas County who has not completed the state-approved course on firearms and hunting safety.

The course is operated in cooperation with the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 2, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, and the Kaw Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation.

The sessions will be 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sept. 28 at Building 21 on the north end at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St., and 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Oct. 7 at the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 2 near Lone Star Lake in central Douglas County. Attendance is required at both classes to pass the course.

Registration is required because space is limited.

To register, call Lawrence police Sgt. Max Miller at 785-832-3288. Leave a voice mail with your registration information to enroll.

The course fee is free, but lunch will be offered for $2 at the Oct. 7 session. Directions to the FOP lodge will be given to participants at the Sept. 28 class.

Anyone born after July 1, 1957, and older than 11, must pass a course to hunt in Kansas. No one younger than 11 will be certified in hunter education. More information about hunter education is also available at kdwp.state.ks.us.

Wichita to vote on fluoride in water WICHITA (AP) — Wichita residents will vote in November on whether to add fluoride to the city’s water supply.

The Wichita City Council decided Monday to put the issue on the Nov. 6 election ballot.

The decision came after fluoride supporters pre-

sented the council with petitions containing more than 11,000 signatures.

Proponents of fluoridation believe it helps prevent tooth decay.

Opponents contend fluoride can cause health problems, and forcing citizens to use it is a violation of individual freedoms.

3rd patient tests positive for Hep C TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas officials say a third former patient at Hays Medical Center has tested positive for a strain of hepatitis C linked to a cluster of New Hampshire cases traced to a traveling hospital technician.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says 474 people were potentially exposed to hepatitis C when David Kwiatkowksi worked at the HEALTH Hays hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab from May 24 to Sept. 22, 2010.

KDHE says 366 former Hays patients have been tested so far. Two were reported positive earlier this month. KDHE reported the third positive test this week.

Some former patients are still being tested.

Kwiatkowski has denied allegations that he stole drugs from the New Hampshire hospital, injected himself and contaminated syringes later used on patients. He previously worked in seven other states, including Kansas.

Douglas County near the Shawnee County line.

Douglas County sheriff’s investigators have said only that a gun was involved in Brown’s slaying, which still is under investigation. No one has been arrested in connection with Brown’s homicide.

Topeka Police Chief Ron Miller in February said officers also were investigating whether a burned vehicle owned by Lockhart and found in Topeka hours af-

Kaehr said he had yet to think about how the incident might make attending classes difficult.

“I’m just very concerned about safety and am glad right now everyone is OK.” Kaehr credited fire drills for the speedy and safe exit of all the fraternity members.

No firefighters were injured putting out the fire.

ter Brown disappeared was connected to the homicide.

According to published reports, family members and a past attorney for Lockhart denied he was involved in Brown’s death saying the two men were friends.

Authorities Wednesday did not say why Lockhart was brought to the Douglas County Jail while he’s being held in connection with the Topeka home invasion case.

Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County sheriff’s spokesman, said Wednesday it is not uncommon to hold inmates for cases in other counties. He referred further questions

to jail records, which indicated Lockhart was being held at the request of Shawnee County authorities. Kristen Veverka, a Topeka police spokeswoman, on Wednesday referred questions about Lockhart to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

According to online court records, Douglas County sheriff’s detectives are listed as witnesses in Lockhart’s home invasion case. Lockhart’s trial in the Topeka case is scheduled for Oct. 22.

said crews had yet to determine the cause of the fire, and damage estimates were unavailable Wednesday night.

The building appeared to be lightly damaged, and fraternity members were able to move back into the building Wednesday night.

According to Sigma Chi

chapter president Blaine Kaehr, the smoke originally came from the roof of the house between the front pillars and the actual building.

“We know it didn’t start inside, and there wasn’t anyone outside,” Kaehr said.

All 82 members of the fraternity made it out of the building safely.

Kansas University spokesman Jack Martin said that the university would contact professors

Wednesday with unlawful possession of a firearm and dealing firearms without a license. Forty-one-yearold Tracey Eberhart is charged with aiding a felon in possessing firearms and providing firearms to a convicted felon.

The Eberharts run Traceys Dream Weavers Salon and Sporting Goods in Augusta, which marketed guns to women.

Investigators said Tracey Eberhart failed to mention her husband — a convicted felon — when she sought a federal license to sell firearms. Agents reported seeing Jeffrey Eberhart selling guns at Dream Weavers’ booth at a January gun show in Topeka.

KCK students to get free breakfasts KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — The Kansas City, Kan., school district is benefiting from a program that allows students to eat breakfast in their classrooms for free this year.

A group of educational and advocacy organizations called Partners for Breakfast in the Classroom started the program last year in five school districts.

Ten districts were added this year, including Kansas City, Kan., where 13 schools are participating.

The Breakfast in the Classroom SCHOOLS program uses a $5 million Walmart Foundation grant to provide breakfast at no charge to all students. Students eat in the classroom, not in the cafeteria.

The partners say many students eligible for the federally funded school breakfast program don’t participate, partially because they don’t want to be labeled as low-income.

Other issues include school bus schedules and pressure to go directly to class.

Lawrence police Wednesday arrested a 31-year-old Lawrence man charged with firing a gun in a February incident outside an apartment in northern Lawrence.

According to jail records, police took James Carnelous Benimon into custody about 10:45 a.m. in the 1300 block of Delaware Street. Douglas County prosecutors have charged Benimon with criminal discharge of a firearm and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon. Police were looking for a suspect after residents reported hearing and seeing someone fire several shots from one car into another the evening of Feb. 8 outside an apartment in the 1300 block of Michigan Way, near Second and Michigan streets.

Benimon also was arrested on a Lawrence Municipal Court traffic warrant and a warrant in a 2003 Wyandotte County case, according to jail records.

According to the Kansas Department of Corrections, Benimon has two 2007 drug possession convictions in Douglas County and

a 2001 Wyandotte County conviction for aggravated indecent solicitation.

He is being held on $25,000 bond in the Lawrence case.

The Douglas County Commission on Wednesday unanimously approved tax breaks for the hotel project at Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

The tax incremental financing district for the project will capture between $300,000 and $400,000 in county sales tax over a 20-year period.

That money will be repaid to the developers.

Commissioner Mike Gaughan asked Lawrence planner Diane Stoddard if the hotel’s guest tax would benefit the county.

The guest tax goes to the city, county administrator Craig Weinaug said, but the city often uses those funds for historic preservation and promotion projects that are joint ventures with the city.

Stoddard said that the commission had the ability to veto its portion of the tax break, as does the school board, before Friday. All three commissioners expressed support for the project.

The city approved its

portion of the TIF in its meeting Tuesday.

Bedell opened the passenger door as the truck, driven by Thomas Wyrick, of Topeka, slowed to pick up trash. Bedell stepped out before the truck stopped, and Lewis said he lost his footing and fell to the ground. Apparently Bedell was struck by the passenger side front tires of the truck.

Bedell complained to officers about pain in his pelvis and back. He was flown to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., by a Life Star helicopter ambulance.

upheaval Akin cares little about pressure from GOP Republican arrives just before —————

Missouri Rep. was virtually unknown before ‘legitimate rape’ comments

By Henry C. Jackson and Jim Salter Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Until this week, Rep. Todd Akin was virtually unknown beyond his suburban district, associated more with his deep religious convictions than any legislative achievements.

Long before his comments about women’s bodies and “legitimate rape” made him a potential flashpoint in the fall c a m p a i g n , Akin Akin was a favorite among homeschooling organizations and conservative church groups in the area where his relatives have lived for generations. He seldom authored bills or sought wider recognition.

Now Akin could help shape the national political debate in a Senate race that leaders of his own party figure he can’t win, and they’re worried he’ll drag down other Republicans with him. But if Akin’s 12 years in Congress have proven anything, it’s that pressure from the party establishment carries little weight with him.

“He’s never been popu-

lar among Republicans, and Todd Akin doesn’t care,” Saint Louis University political science professor Ken Warren said. “The best you can say for Todd is that he’s a very principled guy. He believes what he believes, and he’s not going to compromise those principles just to be in the mainstream.”

The 65-year-old, six-term congressman ascended in Missouri politics largely on his own. He grew up on a farm outside St. Louis, earned an engineering degree and went to work at now-bankrupt Laclede Steel Co., which his greatgrandfather started. He and his wife, Lulli, settled on land in St. Louis County owned by Akin’s father.

Each Independence Day he would dress in colonial attire as the family hosted a party for the neighborhood.

The Akins homeschooled their four sons (three of whom graduated from the Naval Academy and became Marine Corps officers) and two daughters. Lulli Akin’s involvement in home-schooling groups helped create the base of support that has long sustained her husband’s political career.

Akin, a member of the conservative Presbyterian Church in America, earned a master’s of divinity degree from Covenant Theo-

“

He’s never been popular among Republicans, and Todd Akin doesn’t care.”

— Ken Warren, Saint Louis University political science professor logical Seminary in St. Louis in 1984. He never became a pastor but four years later won a seat in the Missouri House, where he established a track record as a staunch abortion opponent and supporter of gun rights.

Faith is never far from his mind. In a fundraising email sent to supporters Wednesday, Akin said he was accountable only to God and the voters, not “party bosses.”

His anti-establishment streak started with his first run for Congress. In 2000, party elders favored Gene McNary, a former St. Louis County executive who served in the George H.W. Bush administration and ran previously for governor and senator.

Despite being an underdog, Akin defeated McNary by 56 votes on a day when drenching rain kept turnout at 17 percent.

Akin’s disregard for the advice of party elites can be seen throughout his congressional tenure.

While debating Bush’s Medicare prescription drug benefit in 2003, House leaders assiduously courted rank-andfile members to vote for the legislation. Akin refused, saying the program would blow up the federal budget and attract more illegal immigrants.

He also voted against Bush’s No Child Left Behind education package.

And in 2008, Akin waited months after Sen. John McCain had secured the Republican presidential nomination before endorsing him, citing concerns about McCain’s views on embryonicstem-cell research among other issues.

In Congress, Akin has been something of a backbencher. He authored the Protect the Pledge Act in 2006 that sought to ensure the phrase “under God” was maintained when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The bill did not pass in the Senate.

But he is well known in Washington for his spirited pursuit of legislation on social issues, even in cases where it stands no chance of becoming law. Akin has sponsored or co-sponsored a raft of legislation affecting abortion, including a proposal that would ban all federal funding for abortions.

Poll shows most expect Obama to win

By Josh Lederman and Tom Raum Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Most Americans expect President Barack Obama to win a second term — including more than a quarter of Republican Mitt Romney’s supporters, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows. Still, the race remains a dead heat less than three months out from Election Day. Overall, registered voters are about evenly split, with 47 percent saying they plan to back Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and 46 percent favoring Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

About one in four voters say they are undecided or could change their minds between now and Nov. 6.

The contours of the race are little changed from June, when an APGfK survey showed 47 percent of voters backing Obama and 44 percent siding with Romney, suggesting Romney’s decision earlier in August to tap Ryan as his running mate was not the gamechanging event he may have desired.

Both campaigns have been competing fiercely for a small sweet spot in the middle of the electorate: Independent voters

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ARRIVES to speak at a campaign event Wednesday at Canyon Springs High School in North Las Vegas, Nev. who say they don’t lean toward either party. Romney holds a narrow lead among that group with 41 percent, compared to 30 percent for Obama.

But few think the Romney-Ryan ticket will win in the end.

Asked to predict the race’s outcome, 58 percent of adults say they expect Obama to be re-elected, whereas just 32 percent say he will be voted out of office.

Even among those who

say they have a great deal of interest in following the campaigns’ bitter back and forth, a majority expect Obama to win.

Partisans generally expect their own candidate to win, though Republicans are less sure about Romney than Democrats are about Obama — 83 percent of Democrats say Obama will be re-elected while 57 percent of Republicans think he’ll be voted out of office.

The perception that

Obama has the advantage could cut both ways. On the one hand, people like to vote for a winner, so if voters think Obama will win, they may be more inclined to cast their lot with him.

On the other hand, it could backfire for Obama and help Romney if it drives down turnout among Democrats. If Obama’s supporters think the race is in the bag and their vote isn’t necessary, they may stay home.

Romney convention

By Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

TAMPA, FLA. — This is the convention prelude of the Republicans’ dreams — their nightmares, that is.

Mitt Romney wanted to preside over a made-forTV gathering showcasing his economic credentials and GOP unity.

Instead, he’s Romney heading to Tampa with the national debate focused on rape and abortion and with the divisions within his party — and with running mate Paul Ryan — on full display.

“It’s a huge distraction,” Saul Anuzis, a RNC member from Michigan and a top Romney backer, said of the emotional quarreling touched off by embattled Missouri Rep. Todd Akin earlier this week.

“We should be talking about the economy and here we are consumed by these side issues.”

Even the weather is threatening to spoil Romney’s party. As Wednesday’s rain pounded the arena and hotel complex where the convention is scheduled for next week, Anuzis lamented the tropical storm churning toward Florida, saying that “it could cause havoc; it could be a chaotic situation from a transportation and security standpoint.”

All this as a new Associated Press-GfK poll showed a neck-and-neck race between Romney and President Barack Obama just over two months before the election.

Romney and Ryan sought to gain ground Wednesday with fresh criticism of Obama on health care in separate rallies and with a new TV ad.

But Republican troubles persisted, just as the party had seemed to be moving past deep divisions between its establishment and conservative wings in the name of rallying behind its presidential nominee and beating Obama.

Instead, the ticket found itself still overshadowed by the uproar over Akin’s refusal to drop out of his Senate race after causing a stir by saying that women’s bodies have ways of preventing pregnancies in cases of “legitimate rape.” He has apologized repeatedly and has said he misspoke, but he also has bucked calls from top Republicans — including Romney and Ryan — to abandon his bid.

“It’s bad timing. Akin happening now sort of amplifies the whole thing,” Charlie Black, a veteran GOP presidential

campaign strategist and informal Romney adviser, said, referring to distractions from the campaign’s economic message.

Romney spokesman Kevin Madden tried putting the matter to rest during a campaign stop in Arkansas, telling reporters he did not expect the presumptive nominee to address Akin’s comments further.

“We said what we needed to say,” Madden told reporters.

As final preparations were being made for the four-day convention, there were fears rippling through the national party that fallout from the Akin situation demonstrated weakness by the GOP leaders who are uniting behind Romney. But Black and others predicted that the national conversation will shift back to the economy — and an unemployment rate above 8 percent — by the time Romney accepts the nomination Aug. 30, and certainly by this fall.

“I can’t imagine Obama running ads in suburban Pennsylvania in October tying Mitt Romney to Todd Akin,” said Black.

“If he does, it means we’re winning.”

For now at least, Akin’s comments have caused a furor in the Republican Party just as it’s trying to narrow the advantage Obama and the Democrats have among women voters. And the debate has highlighted fissures within the GOP over when abortion should be legal.

Romney does not oppose abortion in cases of rape and incest or if it will save a mother’s life, while Ryan does oppose abortion in cases of rape and incest.

Underscoring the split, the Republican National Committee is including support in its draft platform for an outright ban on abortion in all cases.

Ryan himself stoked the debate Wednesday when he was forced to emphasize anew that Romney is the nominee, brushing aside differences in their records.

“I’m proud of my pro-life record. And I stand by my pro-life record in Congress.

It’s something I’m proud of.

But Mitt Romney is the top of the ticket and Mitt Romney will be president and he will set the policy of the Romney administration,” Ryan told a Pennsylvania TV station.

He also defended a bill he cosponsored in the House to ban federal funding for abortion except in cases of incest and “forcible” rape. That language, which was eventually changed, would have narrowed the exception for rape victims. Akin and 225 other members of the House, including 11 Democrats, also cosponsored the bill.

Congress warned that budget CPAP Machine Cleaning Day stalemate could lead to recession SeptemberTuesday 4th • 9am to 4pm

By Alan Fram

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A stalemate between Democrats and Republicans that ends up boosting taxes and slashing federal spending in January would likely thrust the nation into a 2013 recession and cost 2 million jobs by the end of that year, Congress’ top nonpartisan budget analyst warned Wednesday.

The cautionary report by the Congressional Budget Office, drearier than a similar alarm it issued in May, immediately raised the political stakes in one of this election year’s signature conflicts between the two parties.

Without an agreement between President Barack Obama and Con-

gress by January, tax reductions on virtually all taxpayers are scheduled to expire and spending cuts will be imposed on hundreds of popular domestic and defense programs. That would plunge the nation off a so-called “fiscal cliff,” which each side is eager to blame on the other.

Together, the scheduled tax increases and spending cuts would total nearly $500 billion next year, the report said — a huge amount of activity to suck out of a $16 trillion economy that is already struggling.

That would be the largest annual reduction in the federal deficit compared to the size of the economy in more than four decades, said Doug-

las Elmendorf, the budget office’s director.

Doing that “would probably lead to a recession early next year,” Elmendorf told reporters.

That scenario would cause the economy to shrink by 0.5 percent in 2013 and push unemployment up to around 9 percent in the second half of next year, according to the report. Elmendorf said that would mean 2 million fewer jobs than if the tax cuts are renewed and the spending cuts averted.

The prospect of triggering a recession added a new level of risk and complexity to this year’s highprofile political fights over sparking job creation and curbing mammoth federal deficits.

Rover takes first short spin around Mars

By Alicia Chang Associated Press

PASADENA, CALIF. — Curiosity took its first test drive around the gravelstrewn Martian terrain Wednesday, preparation for the ultimate road trip to find out if life could have existed on the red planet.

The six-wheel NASA rover did not stray far from the spot where it landed more than two weeks ago. It rolled forward about 15 feet, rotated to a right angle and reversed a short distance, leaving track marks on the ancient soil.

Mission managers were ecstatic that the maiden voyage of the $2.5 billion mission was glitch-free.

“It couldn’t be more important,” said project manager Peter Theisinger at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “We built a rover. So unless the rover roves, we really haven’t accomplished anything. It’s a big moment.”

The short spin came a day after Curiosity successfully wiggled its wheels to test its steering capabilities.

Curiosity landed in Gale Crater near the Martian equator Aug. 5 to explore whether the environment once supported microbial life. The touchdown site has been named Bradbury Landing in honor of the late “The Martian Chronicles” author Ray Bradbury, who would have turned 92 on Wednesday.

The rover’s ultimate destination is Mount Sharp, a towering mountain that looms from the ancient crater floor. Signs of past water have been spotted at the base, which provides a starting point to hunt for the chemical building blocks of life.

Before Curiosity treks toward the mountain, it will take a detour to an intriguing spot 1,300 feet away where it will drill into bedrock. With the test drive out of the way, Curiosity was expected to stay at its new position for several days before making its first big drive — a trip that will take as long as a month and a half.

Curiosity won’t head to Mount Sharp until the end of the year.

Rover driver Matt Heverly said the first drive took about 16 minutes with most of the time used to take pictures.

Heverly said the wheels did not sink much into the ground, which appeared firm.

“We should have smooth sailing ahead of us,” he said.

New AIDS-like disease in Asians, not contagious

By Marilynn Marchione Associated Press

Researchers have identified a mysterious new disease that has left scores of people in Asia and some in the United States with AIDS-like symptoms even though they are not infected with HIV. The patients’ immune systems become damaged, leaving them unable to fend off germs as healthy people do. What triggers this HEALTH isn’t known, but the disease does not seem to be contagious.

This is another kind of acquired immune deficiency that is not inherited and occurs in adults, but doesn’t spread the way AIDS does through a virus, said Dr. Sarah Browne, a scientist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

She helped lead the study with researchers in Thailand and Taiwan where most of the cases have been found since 2004. Their report is in today’s New England Journal of Medicine.

“This is absolutely fascinating. I’ve seen probably at least three patients in the last 10 years or so” who might have had this, said Dr. Dennis Maki, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

It’s still possible that an infection of some sort could trigger the disease, even though the disease itself doesn’t seem to

spread person-to-person, he said.

The disease develops around age 50 on average but does not run in families, which makes it unlikely that a single gene is responsible, Browne said.

Some patients have died of overwhelming infections, including some Asians now living in the U.S., although Browne could not estimate how many.

Kim Nguyen, 62, a seamstress from Vietnam who has lived in Tennessee since 1975, was gravely ill when she sought help for a persistent fever, infections throughout her bones and other bizarre symptoms in 2009. She had been sick off and on for several years and had visited Vietnam in 1995 and again in early 2009.

“She was wasting away from this systemic infection” that at first seemed like tuberculosis but wasn’t, said Dr. Carlton Hays Jr., a family physician at the Jackson Clinic in Jackson, Tenn. “She’s a small woman to begin with, but when I first saw her, her weight was 91 pounds, and she lost down to 69 pounds.”

Nguyen (pronounced “when”) was referred to specialists at the National Institutes of Health who had been tracking similar cases. She spent nearly a year at an NIH hospital in Bethesda, Md., and is there now for monitoring and further treatment.

“I feel great now,” she said Wednesday. But when she was sick, “I felt dizzy, headaches, almost fell down,” she said. “I could not eat anything.”

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable The recovery of the U.S. housing market is looking steadier and more sustainable, a trend that will likely add to economic growth in 2012 for the first time in seven years.

Purchases, construction and prices are gradually but consistently increasing, though they remain far below levels seen in a healthy economy.

Sales of previously occupied homes rose 2.3 percent in July from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.47 million, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday.

Over the past 12 months, sales have jumped more than 10 percent.

Middle class share of U.S. income shrinking

By Hope Yen Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The middle class is receiving less of America’s total income, declining to its smallest share in decades as median wages stagnate in the economic doldrums and wealth concentrates at the top.

A study released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center highlights diminished hopes, too, for the roughly 50 percent of adults defined as middle class, with household incomes ranging from $39,000 to $118,000.

The report describes this mid-tier group as suffering its “worst decade in modern history,” having fallen backward in income for the first time since the end of World War II. Three years after the recession technically ended, middle class Americans are still feeling the economic pinch, with most saying they have been forced to reduce spending in the past year. And fewer now believe that hard work will allow them to get ahead in life. Families are now more likely to say their children’s economic future will be the same or worse than their own.

In all, 85 percent of middle class Americans say it is more difficult now than a decade ago to maintain their standard of living.

Some 62 percent say a lot of the blame lies with Congress. A slight major-

DILBERT

ity say a lot lies with banks and other financial institutions. Just 8 percent blame the middle class itself.

“The job market is changing, our living standards are falling in the middle, and middle-income parents are now afraid that their children will be worse off than they are,” says Timothy Smeeding, a University of Wisconsin-Madison economics professor who specializes in income inequality.

He said that many middleincome families have taken a big hit in the past decade as health care costs increase, mid-wage jobs disappear due to automation and outsourcing and college tuition mounts for those seeking to build credentials to get better work. In the meantime, more-affluent families have fared better in net worth because they are less dependent than lower-income groups on home property values, which remain shriveled after the housing bust.

Wealthier Americans are more likely to be invested in the stock market, which as a whole has been quicker to recover from the downturn.

“These are the disaffected middle class who work hard and play by the rules of society, but increasingly see their situation declining by forces beyond their control,” Smeeding said in an interview. “No matter who is president, the climb back up for the middle class and the recovery will be slow and often painful.”

Britons shrug off nude photos of U.K.’s Prince Harry

By Jill Lawless and Raphael Satter Associated Press

LONDON — Britain’s Prince Harry has been caught on camera doing something embarrassing — again.

Celebrity gossip website TMZ on Tuesday posted photos of the 27-year-old royal cavorting nude with an unidentified woman in a VIP suite in Las Vegas. It’s hardly the first time the prince — who allegedly disrobed as part of a game of strip pool — has been filmed in a compromising situation. The third-in-line to the throne was famously photographed wearing a Nazi uniform for a costume party, and in another photo gaffe he was seen cupping the breast of a female TV presenter.

Prince Harry lished earlier this year showed support for the monarchy at an all-time high, perhaps buoyed by the celebrations surrounding Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations marking her 60 years on the throne.

Interviews with Londoners up and down the capital’s Prince of Wales Road yielded few critics of Harry’s antics.

Craig Martin, 38, another construction worker: “He’s the prince. He can have any bird he wants!”

Down the road, caregiver Shirley Ashard laughed at the news of Harry’s naked adventure, dismissing questions about the propriety of running around a plush hotel room in the buff with a boys-will-beboys shrug.

“I’ve got kids. They do things like that,” the 59-year-old said. “He’s a lad, for God’s sake.”

Hanad Darwish, a 19-year-old student from Birmingham, was worried about what Harry’s hijinks said about his judgment.

“It is a little immature and gives the royals a bad image,” he said.

But Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, said it wasn’t likely that Harry’s reputation would suffer. Seward said his party-boy image was part of his approachable, normal persona.

“Of course it’s stupid, but it doesn’t make people dislike him — quite the opposite,” she said.

Meeting memories Questions about meetings at the governor’s residence earlier this year should raise the state’s awareness about the importance of open government.

T

he outcome of a monthslong investigation into dinner meetings at Gov. Sam Brownback’s residence was received with mix reactions across the state.

Some were angry and disappointed that lawmakers were not charged with violating the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Others were glad no one was prosecuted, and still others didn’t care one way or another.

Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor was able to confirm that the governor discussed a considerable amount of business and strategy with legislators — all Republicans, who were invited according to the committees on which they served — but he concluded that none of the attending legislators “committed a substantive violation of KOMA.” Rather than pursue any prosecution, Taylor recommended “comprehensive training on KOMA” for state legislators, for whom ignorance of the law is apparently at least a partial defense.

Although none of the lawmakers will be prosecuted, there are aspects of this situation that should concern Kansans and cause them to increase their vigilance concerning the conduct of state business behind closed doors.

Taylor reported that his investigation of the meetings was hampered by the fact that most of the legislators who were questioned had what the DA referred to in his report as a “collective inability to remember specifics” about any of the dinners they attended. They couldn’t remember what issues were discussed or who discussed them. They remembered that the meetings included question-and-answer sessions with the governor, but they couldn’t remember who posed questions or any of the topics of those questions.

Really. Even if there was a cocktail hour before dinner, it’s hard to believe that so many legislators were a total blank about what the governor, the elected leader of their party, had to say about any issues on the legislative agenda.

Taylor did find a couple of legislators who had a clearer memory of one dinner to which KPERS committee members were invited. While, again, most legislators “could not remember anything specific” about the meeting, two members recalled that Brownback asked Sen. Jeff King to discuss the reform plan his KPERS commission was working on. After King’s presentation, they said, Brownback told members he wanted to see a bill based on those recommendations on his desk by the end of January. During a Q&A, Brownback was asked about his strategy for passing the legislation, the lawmakers said, and, although Senate President Steve Morris warned the group that it might be straying toward a KOMA violation, the conversation soon returned to specific strategy for passage of the KPERS legislation, which would be handled directly by committee members in attendance.

This is the kind of situation that should be of real concern to Kansans, especially in light of the likely prospect that by next January both houses of the Kansas Legislature will have conservative majorities whose legislative priorities are closely aligned with those of the governor. It would be tempting and far too easy for like-minded lawmakers and the governor to discuss important state business and policy outside the public view.

The whole point of the Kansas Open Meetings Act is to make sure those discussions take place not behind closed doors or at private dinners parties but in the open where news media and the public can know what kind of laws and policy changes their elected state and local officials are talking about. Maybe they can even help jog the memories of some of the legislators who went to dinner with the governor.

Talks on Iran remain deadlocked WASHINGTON — As Israel and Iran entered this summer of confrontation over Tehran’s nuclear program, the Iranians were also conducting talks with the United States and other leading nations to seek a diplomatic alternative to war. Since then, the rumors of an impending Israeli military strike have grown almost daily, but whatever happened to the negotiations?

The answer is that the “P5+1” talks have been in recess during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, but contact is expected to resume soon between the top negotiators. Talking with Iranian and American experts, I don’t hear any hint of a breakthrough that would ease the war fever, although some useful new ideas have been floated.

The diplomatic track has been frustrating to U.S. officials, so far. But it remains important because the military alternative is so fraught with dangers — not least for Israel and its long-term goal of preventing the Iranians from having nuclear weapons. An Israeli military strike might set the Iranian program back several years. But it would probably shatter the international coalition against Iran, galvanize support for the mullahs at home and in the region — and thus might make Iran’s eventual acquisition of a bomb even more likely.

Because of such risks, many leaders of Israel’s nationalsecurity establishment, past and present, appear to oppose Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s consideration of a military strike. Despite this in-

An Israeli military strike might set the Iranian program back several years. But it would probably shatter the international coalition against Iran, galvanize support for the mullahs at home and in the region — and thus might make Iran’s eventual acquisition of a bomb even more likely.” ternal Israeli split, Republican candidate Mitt Romney has strongly endorsed Netanyahu and chided President Obama for taking an independent U.S. position, saying at a campaign rally Monday: “The president throwing Bibi Netanyahu under the bus was totally unacceptable. Him negotiating for Israel, our friend, totally unacceptable, in my view.”

Here’s the situation in the negotiations Romney evidently dislikes: By the end of August, Catherine Ashton, the European diplomat who is chief negotiator for the P5+1, will likely talk by phone about next steps with Saeed Jalili,

the representative of Iran’s supreme leader. The possibilities include another technical meeting of experts or deputy negotiators, or a full, top-level negotiating session.

The P5+1 nations (the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia plus Germany) are still discussing their bargaining position. The consultations quickened last week with a trip to Beijing, Moscow and London by Wendy Sherman, the undersecretary of state who is the top U.S. negotiator. The six countries agreed to continue working together despite some disagreements about tactics: “At the end of the day, we will proceed in unity,” said a senior administration official.

There remains a “significant gap between the P5+1 and Iran,” according to the U.S. official.

The Iranians officially have offered only to suspend enrichment of uranium to the 20 percent level, in exchange for lifting sanctions. This position is a non-starter for the U.S. and its negotiating partners.

Unofficially, Iranians have signaled that they would be ready to export their stockpile of 20 percent uranium and cap future enrichment at 5 percent.

This comes closer to meeting U.S. concerns, but it still leaves Iran with a big stockpile of about 6,000 kilograms of low-enriched uranium that could fuel a breakout. It’s this ability to “dash” toward a bomb that most worries Israel.

An interesting bridging proposal comes from Seyed Hossein Mousavian, a former Iranian negotiator who’s now a visiting fellow at Princeton.

He told me this week that in addition to capping enrichment at 5 percent, Iran might agree to a “zero stockpile” of this low-enriched fuel. A joint committee with the P5+1 would assess Iran’s domestic needs, and any enriched uranium would either be converted immediately to the needed fuel rods or panels, or it would be exported.

In exchange, Mousavian argues, the P5+1 would recognize Iran’s right to enrich uranium and would gradually lift sanctions.

This intriguing proposal lacks official Iranian support, but it would address Israel’s biggest concern and would surely interest American officials. Mousavian also notes Iran’s willingness to allow much wider inspections by the IAEA into what are known as “possible military dimensions” of the Iranian nuclear program. This transparency proposal would allow the IAEA to monitor any possible breakout, but U.S. officials caution that if the Iranians decided to go for a bomb they could simply expel the IAEA inspectors and make the dash.

Here’s a final thought, based on the all-too-real possibility that negotiations will remain deadlocked and Israel will decide to take unilateral military action. In the resulting fog of war, there will be a need for reliable communications in the Gulf and a hotline with Tehran. Establishing these communications links is an urgent priority, as the rumors of war continue.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 23, 1912: YEARS “It was great!

AGO The Farmers’ Picnic IN 1912 at Woodland Park yesterday was a big success. The weather was fine and the farmers and merchants came out in force to enjoy the day. The crowd found plenty of attractions too. The ball games, horse races, and band concerts followed each other in quick succession and the merry-go-round and roller coaster were busy during the afternoon and evening. … Farmers came for miles to attend the picnic. They brought their dinner and supper with them in order that they might have plenty of time at the Park.”

Hurricane delivered a powerful lesson Here’s what an idiot I was: I thought it was going to be fun.

Scary, yes — the lights would go out, the winds would howl, the windows would rattle — but essentially harmless for all that. It would be fun, in a ghost-stories-inthe dark, shiver-up-your-back kind of way. We would camp out in the house, eating bologna sandwiches and playing board games, waiting for the lights to come back on.

We had been gone for a week, a family road trip to Washington and Atlanta, and this was before the Internet was ubiquitous, back when it was still possible to unplug from the inflow of information. I had not seen a paper or watched the news since we left Miami. So it was not until the night before we returned, when I chanced to be watching television in a Savannah, Ga., motel, that we learned a hurricane was bearing down on South Florida.

We stopped in Daytona Beach the next day and called our neighbors from a pay phone. Pam and Joe told us to, for God’s sake, stay where we were, but we shined them on. I didn’t want to miss the fun.

That was 20 years ago this week and, needless to say, “fun” is the last word anyone

I don’t think you can appreciate how unimportant stuff truly is until all your stuff is gone and you, against the odds, are not.”

who went through it would use to describe Hurricane Andrew. Because we had not been there to board up the windows, we spent that night in a defenseless home. We didn’t initially understand what we’d wandered into. At one point, water was spitting through the vent in the kitchen ceiling, and my wife was laying down newspaper because she didn’t want it to ruin her floor. I pulled her clear just before the ceiling came crashing in.

That’s when we understood. We huddled in a closet the rest of the night, me, her and our five children, ages 18 years down to 23 months,

listening fearfully to the thumping, howling and shattering of the storm.

Have you ever felt a wall breathing? Expanding and contracting like lungs? I felt the closet wall breathing against my back all night long. It was the first time in my life — the only time, thank you, God — I ever felt the reality, the imminence, the nearness, the likelihood of my own death. It had, shall we say, a centering effect.

But the roof over us held and when morning came, we stepped from that bunker unscathed. Looking back, that seems miraculous to me.

The rest of the house was destroyed, sunlight rushing through where the living room roof had been. Almost everything we owned was damaged or destroyed — clothing, record albums, books, furniture, my wife’s car, photos, appliances. We had little food, no water. The TV was facedown in a puddle.

And you know what? It didn’t matter. Not even a little bit.

Everybody says that, of course: “It’s only stuff; it’s not important.” Most of the time, I think, that’s just lip service. Ours is a culture of acquisition, where people literally kill and die for stuff, for DVD players, Jordans and

iPads. I don’t think you can appreciate how unimportant stuff truly is until all your stuff is gone and you, against the odds, are not.

This is the lesson the storm taught me. Twenty years later, I live in a new home with new stuff. But the lesson has never left.

The night after the storm, I wandered through that broken house in the dark, I had no idea what would happen next, how I would feed, clothe or house my family.

But I do not remember feeling despair. All I remember is gratitude.

I looked up through where the ceiling had been and I could see the stars. I am a lifelong child of the city and I realized I’d never actually seen the stars; most of them had always been lost in the wash of light from the streetlamps and gas-station signs of Earth. But there were no lights or signs now, and there they were, an endless field of diamonds glittering upon an infinity of black. For a long moment, I just stood there, looking up.

I’d never seen anything more beautiful in my life.

Royals rally, but fall to Rays ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. (AP) — Kansas City’s bats came to life a little too late against Tampa Bay’s James Shields on Wednesday Shields took a three-hitter into the eighth inning, leading the Rays to their 16th win in 21 games with a 5-3 victory that marked only the second series loss of the month for the Royals.

“Shields is a great pitcher,” said losing pitcher Luis Mendoza. “Our guys battled, and they were there. They scored three runs, and I tried to keep us in the game.”

Shields (12-7) retired 12 in a row after Alcides Escobar’s two-out single in the third and allowed three runs and five hits in 7 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out seven and walked one, improving to 4-0 with a 2.15 ERA in his last five starts.

Escobar ended Shields’ day with a two-out RBI triple in the eighth that pulled Kansas City to 4-2. Jake McGee allowed a run-scoring single to Alex Gordon before Kyle Farnsworth retired Billy Butler on a grounder.

Jose Labaton homered off Aaron Crow leading off the bottom half, and Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 39th save in 41 chances.

Mendoza (7-9) gave up two runs, five hits and four walks, hit a batter and balked before Royals manager Ned Yost brought in the first of four relievers with one out in the fifth inning.

“With Shields on the mound, you know you can’t give them too much leeway,” Yost explained. “I just decided I was going to try to keep (the margin) at two, but the tack-on runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth did us in.”

Mendoza threw 43 of his 81 pitches for strikes.

“I struggled with my command,” he said. “I tried to pitch carefully today and I put runners on base and then (Roberts) got a big hit. The bases on balls hurt you.”

Tampa Bay won two of three in the series, limiting the Royals to just five runs and 18 hits. Tampa Bay leads the AL with a 3.27 ERA. “These guys have tremendous starting pitching, a tremendous bullpen,” said Yost.

“It’s a team you don’t really want to come in and play because they’re coached well, they’re managed well, they play the game right and their pitching is just phenomenal.

“That being said, I thought we came in here and matched up pretty good in the threegame set.”

Defensively, the Lions have discovered helpful surprises.

Wedd said senior Hunter Haralson, who wasn’t on the roster last season, came out of nowhere.

“He has just lit up everyone at linebacker,” Wedd shared.

“He makes plays. He doesn’t weigh enough, and he’s not tall enough, but he’s just an unbelievable competitor.”

Senior outside linebacker Kieran Severa, the coach added, has improved the defense, too.

Junior linebacker Drew Green likes the unity the Lions have shown up and down the roster.

“For the most part, I see people flying around and working hard,” Green said.

“No one is satisfied at all right now.”

As one might expect, Wedd is probably the least satisfied.

“I don’t think there’s a high school coach in the state that’s happy with where they are right now,” Wedd said.

“We’ve got a ways to go.”

KU defensive lineman Tavai proud of heritage

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

John Young/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS DEFENSIVE LINEMAN JORDAN TAVAI works against a practice dummy during drills at the Fan Appreciation Day open practice on Aug. 11 at Memorial Stadium.

Since arriving in Kansas on Aug. 10 for his first day of practices, Jordan Tavai has been busy telling teammates about his heritage.

“It’s kind of big to be Samoan, because most of the time when you’re Samoan, everyone thinks you’re a football player,” the defensive lineman said. “You’re supposed to be a big player.

You’re supposed to be a playmaker and all. So I’m trying to be a playmaker.”

Tavai’s maternal grandmother came to the United States along with her siblings when she was 19 in hopes of getting a better education.

The Samoan part of Tavai’s family history has

helped shape his football career.

“When you’re Samoan and you get to the field, you’re supposed to be aggressive.

Your attitude is supposed to be different,” Tavai said.

“You’re supposed to be known for being a good player on the defense. ... That’s what I do live up to.”

It hasn’t taken long for the 6-foot-3, 290-pounder to get noticed during KU practices.

After just a few times going against Tavai, KU offensive lineman Aslam Sterling already knows that the junior’s strength is being able to use his hands well.

“He moves them around a lot,” Sterling said. “For an offensive lineman, a guy that moves his hands a lot, they try to trick you.”

Slapping hands down also can result in getting offensive linemen off-balance.

“My hands are faster than the offensive lineman’s,” Tavai said, “so I can knock them down faster, and I can get around them faster.”

For now, the challenge for Tavai is getting caught up after arriving at camp late following the delayed completion of his final juniorcollege class.

Not only is Tavai behind physically, he also is still learning KU’s defensive play calls.

The biggest issue now is getting the play call from the sideline, then getting into the right place in time. He attends extra meetings with KU defensive-line coach Buddy Wyatt to try to learn all the formations.

“I’m lining up kind of slowly, but I’m getting used to that,” Tavai said last week. “That’s where the mental part gets in.

The faster I line up, the faster I react to seeing the offense.”

Tavai played defensive end and defensive tackle at El Camino (Calif.) Community College, and KU coach Charlie Weis has said that Tavai is flexible enough to play both positions.

“I think Tavai is a fast-twitch guy,” KU defensive coordinator Dave Campo said. “I think he’s a guy that, especially inside ... some guys that aren’t great pass-rushers outside all of a sudden are really good inside, because you’re playing against more bulk but not quite as good of athletes in there.”

Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 14 years. The first few, everything was good, and then I stopped enjoying sex. I’ve seen several different doctors and had my hormones checked, and the verdict is that I am in great health for a 39-year-old.

I think the main problem is, while I love my husband, I don’t find him attractive. I’m not sure I ever did. I was 23 when we met and had never had a boyfriend.

Men had never been interested in me until he came along. He is smart, funny and experimental in the bedroom, so it isn’t like we haven’t tried new things. He would do anything for me.

But, Annie, having sex with him is a massive chore. I suspect he knows this, and I hate making him feel bad. I can’t fake passion I don’t feel. To tell the truth, I doubt another man would do it for me, either, and I’m

not attracted to women.

I feel like a part of me is missing, and I don’t know how to find it. What now?

— Berlin, Germany Dear Berlin: It is possible that you are asexual — meaning you are not attracted, sexually, to anyone. If this sounds like what you are experiencing, please look into AVEN (Asexual Visibility and Education Network) at asexuality.org.

However, if your libido previously was working fine and your lack of interest was sudden, you may want to get a

‘Burn Notice’ burning out Season finales are a great chance to catch up with shows and take stock. Now ending its sixth season, “Burn Notice” (9 p.m., USA) remains popular.

It was the most watched cable show last Thursday and the third most popular in the 18-49 audience. It’s broadcast all over the world, and repeats frequently air on USA and in syndication.

All things being equal, I can see “Burn Notice” continuing to run for some time. And that could be a shame, because in spite of its popularity, this show seems to have run out of gas — except the kind used to fuel its many special-effects explosions.

When “Burn Notice” began, it had some of the whimsy pioneered by USA shows “Psych” and “Monk.”

It was more tongue-incheek than cloak-anddagger. Tonight’s finale has plenty of shootouts and explosions, but it’s not that much fun. Michael’s (Jeffrey Donovan) relationship with Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar) has always been over-the-top, but now it’s merely brittle and dreary. But you have to half-laugh tonight when they’re both seen (in all-white outfits) hashing out their future together while assembling homemade hand grenades.

Michael’s mother (Sharon Gless), always combustible and passive-aggressive, is now just angry because she’s consumed with grief over Michael’s brother’s death. And when you can’t get a laugh out of a show starring Bruce Campbell and featuring guest-star John C. McGinley (“Scrubs”), it’s time to hang it up.

Bottom line: This show is too preposterous to take seriously, but pointless when it’s played straight. In a perfect world, “Burn Notice” would go out on top.

“Suits” (9 p.m., USA) ends its second season with Mike dropping out of sight on the eve of a battle to take over Pearson Hardman.

Tonight’s other highlights

The Tennessee Titans host the Arizona Cardinals in preseason NFL action (7 p.m., ESPN).

Kinney thinks a trip home will help Joel on “Saving Hope” (8 p.m., NBC).

Intimacy, therapy and romance get confused on the season finale of “Anger Management” (9:30 p.m., FX).

“Crime Inc.” (8 p.m., CNBC) looks at losses from corporate and industrial espionage.

A drug dealer targets a priest on “Rookie Blue” (9 p.m., ABC).

While searching for a lost love, Louie loses something closer to his heart on “Louie” (9:30 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Political satirist Mark Russell is 80. Actress Barbara Eden is 78.

Former Surgeon General Antonia Novello is 68. Actress Shelley Long is 63. Actor-singer Rick Springfield is 63. Country singermusician Woody Paul (Riders in the Sky) is 63. Queen Noor of Jordan is 61. Actor-producer Mark Hudson is 61. Actor Jay Mohr is 42. NBA player Kobe Bryant is 34.

referral to see a doctor who specializes in sexual disorders. A normal balance of hormones for most women may be insufficient for you.

And of course, there are other possibilities — psychological issues, weight issues, nutrition deficiencies, medications — all of which can affect desire and libido.

You owe it to yourself and your husband to figure this out. Good luck.

Dear Annie: I am appalled by my own offspring. My son is 30, and my daughter-in-law is 27. My grandchild is 16 months old.

We had been traveling and stopped at a restaurant. While we waited for our food, my son and his wife fed my grandchild her dinner. The end result was at least 10 pasta noodles dropped on the carpeted floor.

I cleaned them up, but it should have been the job of my so-called adult

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Aug. 23: This year you will become far more assertive than in years past.

Often, a misunderstanding develops out of nowhere, or people distance themselves. If you are single, you will want to meet a like-minded person. If you are attached, the two of you seem to have a natural pace.

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) How you focus your energy will change substantially. You suddenly will concentrate on joint financial matters and agreements.

Tonight: A discussion does not need to turn into a fight.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your popularity seems to soar. Do not question the moment; simply enjoy it. Tonight: Who, where and what?

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your ability to do research and find answers emerges, perhaps by necessity. Confusion seems to surround a key question.

Tonight: Take a walk by water, or choose some other stressbuster.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have a big imagination. Often, that can be a positive thing, and other times this gift can be a double-edged sword. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Stress has a way of building if you are not careful, especially if there is a misunderstanding between you and someone else. Stay centered by paying attention to your general feelings toward that person.

Tonight: Express your fieriness.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be more out

of sorts than you realize. Could you be misinterpreting others’ words?

Tonight: Talks over dinner.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep expressing your feelings, but do not be surprised if you get an odd reaction midway.

Be generous when dealing with this person. Tonight: Buy that special item.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are in your element. You could be confused by a boss or older friend. Be diplomatic.

Tonight: Whatever you do, choose a physical activity. You need to let off steam.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Know when to pull back.

You might feel as if you must do something, but in reality you do not know what that is. Tonight: Take some much-needed time.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You know what you want, and you know that you have no interest in stopping. You will be more centered than you have been in a while. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Note how much pressure builds to get you to do certain things in a particular way. Explain why you do what you do. Tonight: Try to be more reasonable.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You want more information, and you are determined to get it. An initial attempt at being direct might not work, and actually could backfire. Tonight: Let your mind wander to good music.

children to leave our table floor area clean.

They felt it was no big deal to leave the mess.

We most likely will never return to that restaurant, and they won’t remember us anyway.

But if it had been my place of business, I would have told us not to return until we had manners.

What do you say? — Angry and Embarrassed.

Dear Angry: We say calm down. Restaurants serve food. People — both children and adults — spill and drop food all the time. While one should not deliberately toss food around, and it behooves parents to keep the mess to a minimum and pick up what they can, it isn’t necessary to leave the floor spotless.

Cleaning up is part of the ACROSS overhead costs.

Virginia prep plans KU visit

FALL KICKOFF

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Hampton (Va.) High School senior basketball point guard Anthony “Cat” Barber will make an official recruiting visit to Kansas University Aug. 31-Sept. 2, his mother reported Wednesday.

Pam Barber told SNY. tv that the 6-foot-2 Barber would also visit Louisville (Sept. 7-9), North Carolina State (Sept. 14-16) and Alabama (Sept. 21-23).

The deciding factor will be ... “how important education is for them,”

Pam said of the college programs. “Just, will Anthony be with someone he’s comfortable with? Is someone going to stop him when he’s wrong, praise him when he’s right?”

KU is also recruiting Barber’s Boo Williams AAU teammate Troy Williams, a 6-6 forward from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va. Williams, who is ranked No. 41 nationally (Barber is No. 9), lists KU, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Louisville, Georgetown, South Carolina, Ohio State, Arkansas and Memphis.

“Anything is possible.

They may play together.

We’re just not sure right now,” Pam Barber said.

O

More recruiting: No. 36-rated Semi Ojeleye, a 6-6 senior forward from Ottawa High, has a final list of Duke, Indiana, Oregon and Stanford, Rivals.com reports. ... KU will hold an in-home visit on Sept. 10 with No. 70-rated Demetrius Jackson, a 6-1 senior point guard from Mishawaka, Ind. He has an inhome with Illinois on Sept.

9. ... No. 33-rated Marcus Lee, a 6-9 senior forward

from Deer Valley High in Antioch, Calif., will visit Duke on Oct. 27-28, Zagsblog.com reports. He will also visit Louisville (Sept.

7), Kentucky (Oct. 12) and Indiana (Oct. 20). He has set in-home visits with KU (Oct. 6) and Kentucky (Oct. 16) and has already visited UCLA and California unofficially. ... No. 53-rated Tyler Roberson, a 6-8 senior forward from Roselle (N.J).

Catholic, has cut his list to 10 schools: KU, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Rutgers, Seton Hall, SMU, South Carolina, Syracuse and Villanova.

He stuck with KU because of Weis.

Kansas University defensive coordinator Dave Campo on Wednesday offered insight into sophomore JaCorey Shepherd’s recent work with the defense.

Shepherd, who tied for the team lead with three touchdown receptions as a true freshman, began the preseason competing for a second-string spot at S receiver. However, during the past couple of practices, the Mesquite, Texas, native has traded in his blue offensive jersey for a white one reserved for the defense.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that under and by virtue of an Order of Sale issued to me by the Clerk of the District Court of Douglas County, Kansas, the undersigned Sheriff of Douglas County, Kansas, will offer for sale at public auction and sell to the highest bidder for cash in hand at the Jury Assembly Room located in the lower level of the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center building of the Douglas County Courthouse, Kansas, on September 13, 2012 at the time of 10:00 AM, the following real estate:

The Petition will be heard in Douglas County District Court, 111 E. 11th Street, Lawrence, Kansas, on the 26th day of September, 2012, at 10 a.m.

If you have any objection to the requested name change, you are required to file a responsive pleading or appear at the hearing and object to the requested name change. If you fail to act, judgment and order will be entered upon the Petition as requested by the Petitioner. /s/ Philip Deamer Petitioner, Pro Se ________ (First published in the Lawrence Daily Journal-World August 23, 2012) IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS In the Matter of the Estate of ROBERT D.

“It’s not a permanent thing,” Campo said of Shepherd’s switch. “We’re trying to develop some depth at a lot of different positions. When you’ve got young guys as backups, you never know how things are gonna work out.

We just wanted to get a good look at him.”

Three of the four cornerbacks listed behind starters Greg Brown and Tyler Patmon on the depth chart are newcomers, and several weeks back Campo talked in generalities about a couple of offensive players he thought might add something to the defense.

“He was definitely one of those guys,” Campo said of Shepherd. “He’s a very quick athlete. One thing with a corner is quick-twitch, the ability to plant and drive. He doesn’t know a lot right now about playing over there, but athletically he fits the mold of a guy that has a chance.”

An updated depth chart is expected to be released Tuesday, and whether Shepherd’s name appears at receiver or cornerback, Campo said his role was still a work in progress.

“He’s still playing some offense,” Campo said.

“He’s both right now. The kid’s a good athlete.”

TV for KU The Big 12 Conference on Wednesday announced broadcast assignments for the first three weeks of the season, and KU landed TV ties during each. The 6 p.m. season opener on Sept. 1 against South Dakota State will be shown on the Jayhawk IMG TV Network.

KU’s 2:30 p.m. match-up with Rice on Sept. 8 will be shown nationally on Fox Sports Net, and the Big 12 opener at 11 a.m. on Sept. 15 against TCU will mark KU’s first appearance on FX.
