WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A judge has thrown out some convictions against a former Kansas doctor and his wife accused of a moneymaking conspiracy at a pain clinic linked to 68 overdose deaths.

But the ruling Monday does not end legal troubles for Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, because much of the case remains.

The couple was convicted in 2010 of conspiracy to commit health care fraud resulting in those deaths, unlawfully prescribing drugs, health care fraud and money laundering. Schneider was sentenced to 30 years and his wife 33 years.

The court also overturned the conspiracy sentence following an unrelated U.S. Supreme Court decision that the victim’s drug use had to be the actual cause of death, not merely a contributing factor.

At least one remaining count carries a mandatory 20-year sentence.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The presidents of four Kansas universities say they will decline or donate a 2 percent pay increase approved for them last week.

The Kansas Board of Regents approved the raises for the presidents the same day a 3.6 percent tuition and fee increase was imposed on students.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the presidents of Wichita State, Kansas State, Pittsburg State and Fort Hays State say they will decline the raises or donate the money to programs at their schools.

University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has not said what she will do with the raise.

The interim president of Emporia State was not included in the pay increase.

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook is now bigger than Wal-Mart, at least when it comes to its value on the stock market.

The world’s biggest online social network knocked the world’s largest retailer out of the top 10 list of the highest-valued companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index on Monday and the gap widened on Tuesday.

Facebook Inc. was valued at $242.7 billion as of late morning trading, its share price up more than 2 percent at $86.59. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., meanwhile, was valued at $233.8 billion, its stock price down 21 cents at $72.58.

Facebook has been on a roll this past year, its shares up about 32 percent in the past year compared with just 8.2 percent for the S&P 500 index. Its quarterly results have consistently surpassed expectations.

FARMINGTON, Mo. (AP) — An Arizona man is hospitalized with serious injuries and facing charges after allegedly robbing a southeast Missouri bank before wrecking his truck on a college campus.

Court records show that 45-year-old Stephen Barrientez is charged with robbery, armed criminal action and theft. He is jailed on $50,000 bond.

21-year-old Marcus Colburn was swimming around 9 p.m. Monday at Wood Hollow Cove in the Osage arm of the lake. According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, Colburn attempted to get out of the water by grabbing the ladder when he was shocked. Authorities said the victim fell into the water face down.

Colburn was transported to the Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach where he was pronounced dead after 10 p.m.

MARSHALL, Ark. (AP) — Authorities have recovered the body of a Missouri man reported missing in the Buffalo National River last week during rough weather.

The National Park Service says search crews on Monday morning found the body of 22-year-old Curtis Miller of Independence, Missouri. The park service says Miller’s body was found in a sandbar about 2 miles downstream from Grinder’s Ferry in Searcy County, Arkansas, where Miller was last seen swimming Thursday evening.

The Searcy County Sheriff’s Office said previously that Miller showed signs of distress before disappearing underwater.

The park service says the river had been running high and fast after downpours from Tropical Depression Bill but has since receded.

SYLVIA, Kan. (AP) — Police have arrested two men who they say pretended to be car crash victims in Reno County near Sylvia.

Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder said several Reno County agencies responded to a call Sunday about two victims of what looked to be a fatal accident lying on the side of the road. The Reno County Sheriff’s Office said when first responders arrived at the scene, the two men got up and told them it was a prank and left the scene.

Deputies were able to get the suspects’ license plate number and track them down.

The district attorney said he intends to seek jail time so as to send a message that people can’t pull pranks that involve important resources.

The men face could face charges of making a false report, raising a false alarm and putting obstructions in the road.
