(AP) — A Kansas doctor is returning to court in her legal fight to regain her medical license after state regulators revoked it over her referrals of young patients for late-term abortions.

Attorneys for both Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus  and the State Board of Healing Arts expected a hearing Friday in Shawnee County District Court to be the final one before Judge Franklin Theis rules.

Neuhaus is appealing the board’s revocation of her license in July 2012. Neuhaus provided second opinions that the late Dr. George Tiller needed under Kansas law to perform some late-term abortions at his Wichita clinic.

The board concluded that Neuhaus performed inadequate mental health exams in 2003 on 11 patients, aged 10 to 18.

Neuhaus has argued her exams met accepted standards of care.

(AP) — A National Geographic freelance photographer who paraglided over a western Kansas feedlot faces a criminal trespassing charge.

Photographer George Steinmetz, of Glenn Ridge, N.J., and paragliding instructor Wei Zhang, of Beijing, China, were charged Thursday.

They were arrested June 28 and released on bond.

Steinmetz was working on a series about food that will be published in early 2014.

Finney County Attorney Susan Richmeier said in a statement that the charges have nothing to do with the right to airspace or to take pictures. She says the charges are focused on the right of landowners to control their property.

National Geographic spokeswoman Beth Foster said recently the organization does not believe Steinmetz broke any laws.

Richmeier didn’t know whether the men have attorneys.

(AP) — Attorneys for Kansas and Planned Parenthood are asking a judge to postpone a hearing in the organization’s federal lawsuit over parts of a new state abortion law.

They filed a joint request Thursday in U.S. District Court with Chief Judge Kathryn Vratil.

Planned Parenthood is challenging provisions in the law dealing with providers’ websites and what information they must provide to patients before terminating pregnancies.

Vratil had scheduled a hearing in Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit for July 29 in Kansas City, Kan. She also ordered attorneys to begin filing their legal briefs next week, with the last one due July 22.

But the attorneys said they’re trying to agree on a summary of facts in the case to expedite the lawsuit and need more time to finish.

A 19-year-old Minneapolis resident was charged with lewd and lascivious behavior Tuesday afternoon in Salina.

Police Lt. Scott Siemsen says a woman in her mid 40s was in the 400 block of E. Iron about 1:30pm, when she was called over to a car by a man asking for directions.

When the woman got close to the car, she realized the man was exposing himself.

The woman got the license number of the car and called Police.

Officers talked with Joshua Mesecher Wednesday and then he was cited for lewd and lascivious behavior.

Today, U.S. Senator and Ranking Member for the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor and Health and Human Services Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) offered several amendments to the Senate Labor-HHS-Ed appropriations bill for FY 2014. Two of those amendments — delaying the Affordable Care Act (ACA) individual and employer mandates — failed in party-line votes.

“While the Administration announced delaying the ACA employer mandate last week, I’m alarmed that my Democratic Appropriations Committee colleagues failed to recognize the real-world impacts of that decision,” Sen. Moran said. “I’m also disappointed that those same colleagues failed to acknowledge that individuals and families, as well as businesses, need relief from this damaging law. The real problem continues to be the entire Affordable Care Act. Its implementation has not lowered costs or increased access as promised. Individuals, families and employers still face increasing health insurance costs, new taxes overseen by what we have recently learned is a politically-biased IRS, burdensome mandates, and great uncertainty because of this flawed law. The best course of action is to dismantle and permanently delay the ACA, and replace it with practical reforms that are workable and will actually reduce health care costs.”

According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), Sen. Moran’s employer and individual mandate delay amendments would not cost the federal government.
