ROSE HILL, Kan. (AP) — Rose Hill police say they’re investigating three suspended high school athletes who allegedly urinated on another student at a party.

Police Chief Bob Sage tells KWCH that three Rose Hill High School football players and one baseball player were drinking at an off-campus party when the alleged battery occurred. He says three of the students urinated on the fourth. The incident was recorded with a cellphone.

Rose Hill Athletic Director Jim Linot says the football players will miss their season opener on Friday and the baseball player will miss his first game in March because they were drinking while underage.

Authorities have not released other information about the students.

No charges have been filed. Sage says he plans to turn the case over to the district attorney next week.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Some Kansas farmers are busy preparing for fall seeding of their winter wheat crop, while others are harvesting this season’s corn crop.

The latest report from the National Agricultural Statistics Service on Tuesday says about 7 percent of the corn crops in Kansas have been cut. At this time last year none had been cut, but progress this year is closer to the 10 percent average for early September.

The agency rated corn condition as 17 percent poor to very poor, 29 percent fair, 42 percent good and 12 percent excellent.

About 5 percent of the sorghum crop in Kansas has now matured, and 6 percent of the soybeans have begun dropping leaves. The weekly report also said about 86 percent of the sunflower crop is blooming across Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is preparing to outline the final part of his re-election campaign platform, focusing on protecting the state’s natural resources.

Brownback scheduled a news conference Wednesday morning at a Kansas River boat ramp inside Kaw River State Park in Topeka. He also planned a Wednesday afternoon event at Cheney Reservoir, west of Wichita.

The governor has been announcing the goals he’ll pursue if he wins a second, four-year term. Previous announcements have covered the economy, education and resisting federal regulations.

Brownback calls his platform “Road Map 2.0,” casting it as a follow-up to the “Road Map for Kansas” platform he outlined in 2010.

Brownback faces Democrat Paul Davis and Libertarian Keen Umbehr in the Nov. 4 election.

CHICAGO (AP) — A big study says removing both breasts to treat cancer in just one doesn’t boost survival for most women. That’s compared with removing just the tumor plus radiation.

The results raise concerns about a riskier, potentially unnecessary operation that increasing numbers of women are choosing.

The study involved nearly 200,000 California patients followed for several years.

Ten-year survival rates were nearly identical — or roughly 82 percent — for lumpectomies plus radiation, and for double mastectomies. Women who had a single mastectomy, removal of just the cancerous breast, fared slightly worse.

Most women choose lumpectomy treatment. But double mastectomies have increased substantially in recent years, especially in younger women.

The study was published Tuesday in this week’s Journal of the American Medical Association.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has approved assigning 350 additional troops to protect the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and its support facilities.

The White House says in a statement that the State Department had asked for the additional military personnel to help protect U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel in the Iraqi capital. The Defense Department reviewed the request and recommended the additional troops.

The White House says Obama approved the additional troops on Tuesday and that they will not serve in a combat role.

The Pentagon says most of the additional troops are from the Army and some are Marines.

The new deployment raises the total number of U.S. troops in Iraq to more than 1,000, with just over 800 providing security for American personnel and facilities in Baghdad.
