(AP) — The University of Nebraska College of Law will open a new frontier in space law by launching a space law doctorate program this fall semester.

The school already offers a one-year program for a master of laws in space, cyber and telecommunications law. Its graduates have gone on to careers working for private companies, federal agencies and military units, as well as for think tanks, consultants and law firms.

Matthew Schaefer is director of the college’s Space, Cyber and Telecommunications Law program, and he says the Nebraska law school breaks new ground as the only doctoral-level space law program in the United States.

(AP) — A 2-year-old girl has been hospitalized after being found unresponsive in a backyard pool in an Omaha suburb.

Papillion police say the girl was found by a relative about 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Medics were able to restore her heartbeat, and she was taken to nearby Midlands Hospital. Later she was transferred to Children’s Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha.

Police Lt. Chris Witted says the girl slipped out a door and was able to open a gate to the above-ground pool. Her name hasn’t been released.

(AP) — The FBI has reopened its investigation of the 1964 kidnapping from a Chicago hospital of an infant who was seemingly reunited with his parents more than a year later.

That’s what everyone thought until that boy — now a 49-year-old Henderson, Nev., college administrator — got his and his parents’ DNA tested this year. Paul Fronczak says the tests showed he’s not his parents’ biological son.

Fronczak told the Chicago Sun-Times in June they got their DNA tested because he long wondered why he didn’t resemble his parents, Chester and Dora Fronczak.

The couple’s son was abducted from Michael Reese Hospital. The case seemed to end happily when they were reunited with a boy resembling theirs who was found abandoned in New Jersey.

The case was reopened Wednesday.

(AP) — A judge has limited the arguments Creighton University can make in the upcoming trial of a lawsuit by a man who says the university’s medical school discriminated against him because he is deaf.

Jury trial is set to begin Aug. 20 in federal court.

The trial comes after the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in March said a jury should be allowed to decide whether Creighton discriminated against Michael Argenyi (ar-GEN’-ee). Argenyi was accepted to Creighton’s medical school after disclosing that he was hearing-impaired and requesting accommodations for his disability. He sued in 2009 after his requests for interpreters were refused.

On Friday, a judge barred Creighton from arguing that accommodating Argenyi’s requests would fundamentally alter medical school curriculum or would pose a threat to the safety of patients.

PIERCE, Neb. (AP) — Pierce County sheriff’s officials have identified a Norfolk man killed in a crash in northeast Nebraska.

Sheriff Rick Eberhardt says 59-year old John Malmberg died from his injuries in the Tuesday crash northeast of Pierce.

Authorities say a southbound sport utility vehicle driven by 27-year-old Erick Weisz, also from Norfolk, failed to stop at an intersection and collided with Malmberg’s eastbound vehicle.

Malmberg was flown to Mercy Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa, where he was pronounced dead. Weisz was taken to Faith Regional Hospital in Norfolk, where he was treated and released. A passenger in Weisz’s vehicle was treated and released at the scene.

The accident is still under investigation.

(AP) — An aide says former President George W. Bush is “doing great” while recovering from a heart procedure at a Dallas hospital and should be going home soon.

Spokesman Freddy Ford says the 43rd president is expected to be discharged Wednesday. He would not give a specific time.

Doctors at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Tuesday inserted a stent to help prop open an artery. The blockage was discovered Monday during Bush’s annual physical at a clinic in Dallas, where he lives.

Ford says the 67-year-old former president is expected to resume his normal schedule by Thursday.

Bush has a reputation as a fitness buff and is known to enjoy jogging, riding bicycles and doing other exercise to keep in shape.

The event set for Friday and Saturday will feature a special dog adoption hosted by the first dog of Nebraska, Snickers. Other activities include tours of the land and garden and talks on the residence art collection and the inaugural dolls collection. Ganem will also speak.

The residence will be open Friday, with public tours from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The dog adoption will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, and tours will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

(AP) — A 59-year-old Norfolk man has died after a collision in northeast Nebraska.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office says the accident occurred around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday about 7½ miles northeast of Pierce.

Authorities say a southbound sport utility vehicle driven by 27-year-old Erick Weisz, also from Norfolk, collided with an eastbound vehicle at the intersection of Nebraska Highway 98 and 557th Avenue.

Weisz was taken to Faith Regional Hospital in Norfolk. The sheriff’s office says the other driver was flown to Mercy Hospital in Sioux City, Iowa, where he was pronounced dead. His name hasn’t been released.

The accident is being investigated.

(AP) — The top county prosecutor says the shooting of an Omaha man at a party may have been justified.

Twenty-eight-year-old Kevin McIntyre died Sunday night at an Omaha hospital after he and his twin brother, Branden, were shot earlier in the evening. Branden McIntyre was treated at another hospital and released.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said on Tuesday that, “preliminarily, it appears the shooting was justified.” But Kleine also said the investigation was continuing.

Kleine says the shooter talked to investigators on Sunday and has been released. Kleine would not disclose the man’s name and would not elaborate on the circumstances that led to the shooting.
