Former Wichita State golfer Cameron Bishop won the 98th Kansas Amateur, defeating Patrick Roth 4 and 3 in the 36-hole championship Sunday.

Bishop, 24, entered match play as the No. 22 seed. Roth is a junior on Kansas' golf team.

Bishop also won the Kansas Golf Association's Fourball and Public Links titles last month.

Padraig Harrington enjoys few moments more than the walk down 18th fairway of a century-old links course, especially with a four-shot lead in the British Open and the engraver putting the final touches on the oldest trophy in golf.

He stopped Sunday to share the moment with Greg Norman, who knows this path all too well.

Celebration for one, sympathy for the other.

"I did say to him coming down 18 that I was sorry it wasn't his story that was going to be told," Harrington said. "I did feel that, but I wanted to win myself. In this game, you have to take your chances when you get them."

Harrington seized his opportunity by smashing a pair of fairway metals into the par 5s that carried him to a 32 on the back nine of blustery Royal Birkdale and made him Europe's first player in more than a century to win the British Open two years in a row.

Esteban German hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the eighth inning to lead the Kansas City Royals to an 8-7 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

German was 3-for-3 with two RBIs and Mike Aviles had three hits for the Royals, who have won five of their last seven games.

Joakim Soria got three outs for his 26th save in 28 opportunities and Ramon Ramirez (1-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win.

Jim Thome doubled in the seventh inning for his 2,000th career hit and Joe Crede hit a three-run homer for the White Sox, who have lost five times in seven games. Nick Swisher also hit a two-run homer for the White Sox.

Trailing 6-5, Thome led off the seventh inning with a double off Ramirez. One out later, Swisher hit his 13th home run of the season to put the White Sox up 7-6.

Justice is an adversarial process. There are two sides to every argument. One inevitably will lose.

The issues are critical: who goes to prison, the validity of business deals, when children will see their parents.

In Sedgwick County, voters elect judges, and they need information to decide who is qualified to make decisions that change lives. They also need to know how those in office do their jobs.

To help, The Eagle and the Wichita Bar Association asked local lawyers to rate their colleagues on the bench and those seeking seats this election year. A similar survey was conducted in 2006.

More than 300 lawyers participated this year.

One bullet went through the police officer's left leg and lodged in the wall of a nearby house.

The other bullet tore into the femoral artery and a major vein in his right leg, and authorities say he would have bled to death if not for the quick actions of other officers.

But those wounds aren't the ones most likely to linger the longest for the officer shot twice in the line of duty the night of July 11 in west Wichita, law enforcement officials say.

"The physical scars, they'll go away after a short

time," said Lt. Sam Hanley, head of the Police Department's Critical Incident Stress Management Team, which works with officers who have been through traumatic events. "But the mental scars, they'll be with you as long as you live.

The new medical industry that Wichita State University scientists plan to create here will mean jobs.

But they need a new building that will require money -- meaning, probably, taxpayer money.

They need about $15 million for a new building to invent a new industry, said David McDonald, the associate provost for research and graduate school dean at WSU. He's heading a research team, including aircraft scientists, that wants to invent orthopedic medical implants made from composite materials -- and create perhaps thousands of new manufacturing

jobs here.
