Schiavo dies 13 days after tube removed
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — With her husband and parents feuding to the bitter end and beyond, Terri Schiavo died yesterday, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed in a wrenching right-to-die dispute that engulfed the courts, Capitol Hill and the White House and divided the country. Cradled by her husband, Schiavo, 41, died a "calm, peaceful and
gentle death" at about 9 a.m., a stuffed animal under her arm, flowers arranged around her hospice room, said George Felos, Michael Schiavo's attorney.
No one from her side of the family was with her at the moment of her death.

Pope has high fever from urinary infection
VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II was responding to treatment with
antibiotics yesterday and described as stable after he suddenly developed a high fever brought on by a urinary tract infection, Italian news agencies reported. The pontiff's health had declined sharply and rapidly a day after he began receiving nutrition through a feeding tube. At the edge of St. Peter's Square, hundreds of people gathered early yesterday, concerned about the fragile pope. A few knelt on the cobble-stones to pray, others wrapped blankets around themselves as they kept vigil through the night.

Ahead of the game
Other professionals have said Clarkson's 50-year run in the field is highlighted by the progress he has continued to make.
"If you do the same thing for 50 years, I don't know how you would get out of bed. Snead said. "To keep your interest up, you've got to change."
And for a photographer who began his career with a old-fashioned speed graphics camera, technological advancements have not slowed Clarkson down.
Clarkson was usually ahead of the game when it came to technological advancements in sports photography. He was the first to put digital cameras behind the backboard glass to capture action shots around the hoop, said Snead, who used to poke fun at Clarkson's idea.
But Snead said Clarkson never feared treating a new technique.
"I asked him if he had his Windex to wipe down the board," he said.
think about more creative opportunities during the postseason because by then people have seen many basketball pictures. Clarkson said.
For Clarkson, tournament time poses the biggest challenges to maintain originality. Photographers often
He knows from experience that creativity could cause photographers to miss the most important shot of the game.
"By the time you get to the championship game at the Final Four, you're making damn sure that you aren't taking one of those kinds of gambles in the name of creativity," Clarkson said.

said Josh Hernandez, Boulder, Colo. law student, said.
"The school knows it has good professors and good programs and have been resting on that for a while," Hernandez said. "They need to play the game like other schools. If they don't, it will make us look bad."
Hernandez isn't worried about the drop in rank affecting his career.

"It's one of the best regional schools," Hernandez said. "The area doesn't have much else to offer."
A lot of apprehension exists among law students and nobody really knows what's going to happen on the job market, said Chris Schulz, Seguin, Texas, law student.
"I'm trying to get a job right now and it's very stressful," Schulz said. "There's something wrong with you if you're not concerned."
He estimated that 80 to 100 students attended. He said he told students that the quality of education was no different because of the new ranking.
McAllister put together an open forum at noon yesterday to address
student concerns with the ranking drop.
"It wouldn't make sense for me transfer because I've built so many friends here and the numbers don't reflect the education I'm getting here," Schulz said.

The event will take place Sunday, April 3 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall.
Barbeque to raise scholarship money for local parishioners
St. John's Catholic Church, 1234 Kentucky St., will hold the third annual barbeque fundraiser in honor of the Lisa Ramos Bland Memorial Scholarship.
The cost is $8 for adults, $4 for children and $20 for a family of four.
Bland was killed by a 16-year-old drunken driver on Sept. 16, 2000.
The barbeque will help to raise part of the $2000 for a scholarship for students who are members of any Douglas County parish.
Additional money for the scholarship would come from outside donations, Bland said.
"I think it's important for people to go to the event and remember her," Jim Bland, Lisa's widower, said. "At the same time it benefits students who will get money for the scholarship."

KUnited fined for violating campaigning regulations
KUUnited was found guilty for campaigning inside residence halls illegally at a Election Commission violation hearing yesterday.
The coalition was fined $25, as the action was determined to be a minor violation. Two members of the coalition went door-to-door giving out coalition posters and buttons for residences to put in their rooms. The commission found Lance Mall, KUnited member, not guilty for soliciting; however, it found the coalition as a whole guilty for supporting the campaigning. Jack Connor, a Student Voice member who filed the complaint, said the punishment should have been stricter.
"When the person gets off like he did, they will continue to do it all day." Connor, Overland Park freshman, said. "Campaigning in the residence halls has been a problem in the past, and this will not stop it."
Nick Sterner, presidential candidate for KUnited, had no comment on the commission's decision.
