Stores prepare to switch to adidas

SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
As of July 1, the University of Kansas Athletics Department told athletes they could no longer wear Nike apparel in the weight room or to workout in.
But the switch from Nike to adidas is taking a little longer to implement in merchandise stores. For KUStore.com, a company run by the Athletics Department, Nike gear still lingers in the office.
"We haven't been told a certain date when we can no longer sell Nike," said Jeff Hackel, assistant e-commerce manager. "Right now, we're selling Nike at cost, or half price. We're just going to keep selling it until it's gone. There's talk of a garage sale, which has been done in the past to get rid of older apparel, but it's not for sure."
Local bookstores are still able to sell some Nike gear, like hats and T-shirts. But if the apparel is something that the athletes would wear, then it has to be adidas.
Some of the adidas apparel might be hard to sell. Kristin Vickers, store manager of University Book Shop, 1116 W.23rd St., talked with the company that owns University Book Shop, and also talked with 130 other companies. They informed her that as a group, 70 percent of merchandise sold is Nike, and 30 percent is adidas.
"Nike is pretty fashionable and looks good," Vickers said. "The consumers want the Nike brand."
Hackel said in comparison to Nike, adidas has a limited selection of apparel.
justment to be made. Hackel said that Stephanie Temple, head e-commerce manager who orders the apparel, was worried about adidas' shipping schedule.
"From what I've seen, adidas is pretty generic," Hackel said. "They have the same Kansas shirt for every sport, whereas with Nike, they produced a totally different line called Elite."
There is also the shipping ad.
Brenda Bell, San Francisco, compares an adidas KU t-shirt (right) to a Nike one at Jock's Nitch Sporting Goods, 837 Massachusetts St. adidas will be the official supplier of KU sportswear; however, most of the adidas apparel will not be available in stores until August.
Hackel said Temple finally had the schedule with Nike figured out, and that she would now have to learn the adidas shipping schedule.
After seeing the adidas catalog, Vickers said she was "a little apprehensive" about their clothing line. The size of the two catalogs is significantly different as well. The adidas one is quit a bit smaller, Hackel said.
Knowing when items are coming in is crucial to business, especially when trying to get a certain item in for a big game.
KUstore.com is not just an online company, but also sets up stands at all major sporting events.
"I've worked with Nike for the past five years, and never worked with adidas," Vickers said. "I'm just hoping they deliver in time. We probably won't know until September when we get all the gear in."
Sales with adidas start just in time for football season. After the season starts, KUStore.com and bookstores may have an idea of what to expect.
Several stores had expected to
"It'll be interesting working with adidas," Hackel said. "I think initially itll be good because it's new."
have new jerseys and shirts stocked by the July 4th week end. adidas e-mailed The Sports Dome, 1000 Massachusetts St., and the Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, notifying them they would have to wait on the new apparel.
"This is a major setback in forming a healthy relationship," said Bill Muggy, Jayhawk Bookstore owner.

EDUCATION
Edwards campus has summer school opportunities
BY ASHLEY MICHAELS
amichaels@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Summer is usually a time for relaxing and taking some time off, but for some eager students it is a time to get ahead of the game and take classes toward graduation.
The question for University of Kansas students is not whether to take summer classes but where to take summer classes.
One option that many students may not consider is the University's Edwards Campus in Johnson County.
The Edwards Campus is
not home to the majority of traditional students. According to the Edwards Campus Web site, 90 percent of the students work full-time, more than half are married and the average age of the students is 32 years old.
In the summer of 2000, the Edwards Campus began a summer program for traditional students looking to take courses they had previously dropped or to speed up their graduation date.
"It was the result of a demand expressed by KU students and students from other colleges who live in the Johnson County
and greater Kansas City area who came home for the summer looking for light course work," said Bob Clark, vice chancellor of the KU Edwards Campus.
Before the program began, the Edwards Campus did not have an undergraduate program. When it noticed demand for one, it began a relationship with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University.
Going into its fifth year, the Edwards Campus summer program, otherwise known as Summer at KU in KC, has been reasonably successful, Clark said.
The first several years the program saw an increase in enrollment, but from last year to this year it is pretty flat, Clark said.
Last summer, students enrolled in 1,673 credit hours at Edwards Campus. This summer the numbers have increased slightly, with students enrolled in 1,712 credit hours. Although it is still an increase, it does not compare to the increase from the first several years, Clark said.
When the summer program began, the tuition rate was the same for residents and nonresi-
"Our decline in enrollment is due to the fact that we changed from resident to nonresident ition." Clark said.
dents.
"It was intended for students on both sides of the state line so they wouldn't have to pay nonresident tuition," Clark said.
Problems arose when traditional students from the University began attending the Edwards Campus to avoid paying nonresident tuition fees, Clark said. The solution was an increase in tuition rates for nonresident students.
Clark does not expect the program to increase much in the future but said he thought the Edwards Campus was still filling a need for local college students during the summer.

STUDY ABROAD
Taiwan added to study abroad destinations
By LIZ NARTOWICZ
lnartowicz@kansan.com
KANSAN STEFF WRITER
A recent exchange agreement with Taiwan will allow KU students the opportunity to study at the Chengchi University in Taipei as early as next spring.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway signed the agreement two weeks ago during his 10-day trip to Asia. Hemenway traveled to China, Taiwan and South Korea to finalize two exchange programs, investigate other programs and meet with alumni.
Identical to other exchange programs, the agreement with Chengchi University will allow student and faculty travel between the two universities for training and research. Unlike other study abroad opportunities, this agreement marks the first exchange opportunity for KU students with Taiwan.
After finalizing the first Taiwan exchange with Chengchi University, Hemenway signed another agreement while in Taiwan. The chancellor attained a second arrangement with the Taiwan Forestry Institute.
Diana Carlin, dean of graduate school and international programs, said this arrangement would greatly benefit biology and environmental students and faculty. Carlin, who accompanied Hemenway on his trip, said the institute had six different on site laboratories.
While abroad, Hemenway also met with four other universities to follow up on possible exchange programs, Carlin said. Two
"Any time you can get a student in a lab, that's a plus," Carlin said.
of the four were in Taiwan, Carlin said; the others were in China and South Korea.
Currently the University has close to 100 exchange programs, Carlin said. Five of those are with China, three in South Korea and five in Japan.
Officials are most enthusiastic about the potential program in China, Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, said. Weinberg traveled with Hemenway to Taiwan.
Weinberg said the University was in the works with the ministry of foreign affairs and Beijing University to set up a program. The program would be for city managers of China and it would be held at the University.
Hemenway said he was talking to the ministry of education as well and was looking for ways to have joint exchanges. Hemenway said it was important to have joint exchanges abroad because it prepared students for the global economy while improving the University.
"Any great university has to be international today," Hemenway said. "We want KU to be an international university."
Carlin said she also thought it was important to both students and the University to utilize exchange programs.She said the University was fortunate in that it had so many opportunities and students taking advantage of the programs.
"KU students are far more active to pursue studying abroad than others," Carlin said.
Only one to two percent of seniors nationally study abroad, Carlin said, while 20 percent of KU seniors study abroad.

Summer Theatre ends with 'Folly'
STANLEY O'SHANNON
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
"Talley's Folly," a play following the courtship between Sally Talley and Matt Friedman, begins July 15 on Stage Too! and will close the season theatre.
BY LIZ NARTOWICZ
lnartowicz@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kansas Summer Theatre actors overcome theatrical and physical obstacles for their production of Lanford Wilson's "Tallev's Folly."
Because the play only contains two characters, both actors face the challenge of performing for an hour and a half straight.
Summer Eglinski, Lawrence 2005 graduate, plays Sally Talley, a conservative 31-year-old woman who comes from a wealthy and narrow-minded family.
"It's a bit of a marathon," Eglinski said.
"I'm a bit slap-happy at the end."
Dennis Christilles, associate professor of theatre and film, directs the play and said it was unusual for a play to only have two actors.
Christilles said he had Eglinski and Aaron Champion, Overland Park senior, start by rehearsing shorter scenes in order to build up their stamina.
Another obstacle Eglinski and Champion tackled was the character's dialects. Matt Friedman, played by Champion, is a 42-year-old man with a European accent. Sally Talley is from Lebanon, Mo., and
has a rural accent.
The two actors received assistance from a dialect coach and worked with each other to perfect their accents.
"Aaron's family is from the Ozarks so whenever I needed help I'd just ask him," Eglinski said.
"Talley's Folly" is the second play in Laford Wilson's "Talley Family" trilogy, and is the lightest of the three, Christilles said.
Eglinski, who has read the third play in the trilogy, "Talley and Sons," said it was not necessary to know about the other plays. Each play stands on its own, Eglinski said.
"It's not sugar coated, but it's sweet compared to the other plays," Eglinski said. "It doesn't overwhelm you with its weight."
The play, set in 1944, is about a mismatched couple and their improbable relationship.
The play opens with Matt returning to ask for Sally's hand in marriage. But Sally's family challenges Matt's happy ending with their disapproval of his Jewish heritage and differing viewpoints. In order to conquer this challenge, the couple must confront their differences and come to terms with their past.

TOUR DE FRANCE
Tour coverage minimal in bars
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Lawrence residents who want to see Lance Armstrong's seventh and final Tour de France with a beer in hand may have to sit at home to watch him.
Big-screen and plasma-screen televisions show the Tour de France in Henry T's Bar & Grill, 3520 W.6th St., said Sean Gerrity, owner.
Armstrong became an inspiration to aspiring cyclists when he battled advanced testicular cancer, which spread to his lungs and brain, and returned to win the Tour again. As Armstrong seeks his seventh consecutive Tour de France victory, the American cyclist leads after the tenth stage of the tour by 38 seconds.
The tour began on July 2 on the western coast of France and will continue through July 24, when it will end in Paris.
The tour can be seen every day in Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Massachusetts St., said Paul Davis, bike shop manager.
Although no cyclist has ever won seven consecutive tours, coverage of the event throughout Lawrence is hit-and-miss.
Since Armstrong began his winning streak six years ago, more patrons have come in that may not have come from a cycling background, Davis said.
"I think his story draws people in," Davis said. "He is a normal guy with a talent that people can relate to."
IMCDR AMDR CUTTERS
Popularity for Armstrong and the tour may be high, but that popularity has not translated into widespread viewing.
Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St., has never shown any part of the tour, said Ryan Rosinsky, cashier. The restaurant would show the tour if there was interest, but no one had asked for it, Rosinsky said.
He said he believed the sport was just not as exciting as some of the alternatives.
Franck Fife/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A spectator urges on Lance Armstrong, of Austin, Texas, in the Tour de France cycling race between Grenoble and Courchevel, July 12.
"I can think of better sports to watch than a bunch of guys riding bikes," Rosinsky said.
Support, or at least viewership, varies from place to place. The lack of local attention overall, however, does not surprise Davis.
The tour is not a celebrated American sport, and may never be, Davis said. So expecting most restaurants and bars throughout the city to cover it might be wishful thinking.
"They are sports bars and cycling isn't necessarily considered a sport," Davis said.
Cycling has to compete with the three big American sports — football, baseball and basketball, said Davis. The tour may never compete with the Superbowl, World Series or NBA Finals, Davis said, but it is still worth watching.

WASHINGTON President Bush is consulting four top senators about the Supreme Court vacancy,but the lawmakers suspect they'll leave without learning the names on Bush's short list.
While the president has spoken with the four senators before, Bush's breakfast with the four July 12 is their first meeting in person about the vacancy.
"The president is not prejudging anything," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said July 11. "He wants to hear what their views are and hear what they have to say as we move forward on a Supreme Court nominee."

Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., is not located along a state highway as required by city code.
BY ERIN DROSTE
edroste@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
After five years of business, Richard Osburn may be forced to close shop. A city code, enacted in 2000, requires that all adult businesses be located on a state highway right of way by July 25.
That means that on July 25, Osburn's Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., will no longer comply with city code.
The city code was enacted as a way for the city to regulate sex businesses, Scott Miller, city attorney, said. The code states that sex shops not located along state highway rights of way would have five years from the date of the code's enactment to comply. That includes any pre-existing businesses.
Osburn said when he opened his business there were no restrictions preventing him from being located on Massachusetts Street, and he was prepared to fight to keep his store open.
"It's up to the city how far they want to take it," he said. Osburn said he would to go to court about the issue if necessary.
Miller said the city was reviewing the practices of all adult businesses in Lawrence. Any businesses that meet the definition of a sex shop will have to comply with the ordinance, he said.
"No factual determination has been made at this point about Naughty But Nice," Miller said. 'If it is determined that it is no longer a conforming use, several steps can be taken, including filing charges for violating the code."
The other sex shop in Lawrence, Priscilla's, 1206 W.23rd, is located on a state highway and meets the code requirements for sex shops in the city limits.
The state highway rights of way in Lawrence include 23rd Street (Kansas Highway 10), Iowa Street (U.S. Highway 59), Sixth Street (U.S. Highway 40), and North Second Street (U.S. Highway 24). According to state and city laws, all sex shops within city limits are required to be located along state highways in zoned business areas.
Sex shops cannot be located on the same block as any residential area, house of worship, school, day-care facility, public park, community center, children's amusement park, library, museum or playground.
Viann Deathe owns Classic Hair Design, 1802 Massachusetts St., located across the street from Naughty But Nice, and said she did not think that Naughty But Nice should have to close.
Any sex shop that does not comply with the code will be forced to close, according to the code.
"I've been here 20 years and it doesn't bother me at all," she said. "I have worse people going over to the Salvation Army than going over there."
Deathe said she had never had any problems with the business and did not think that closing the store would affect her business or the neighborhood.
Osburn said he had no plans to close Naughty But Nice and would wait for the city to take the first step, and he would fight them.
"If a person takes the time and money to open a legal business and people start looking for ways to eliminate that business and force relocation," Osburn said, "then I'm adamantly opposed to what the city is trying to do."

TUITION
Study ranks KU best buy for 2004-2005 semesters
KU tuition rates among cheapest
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITE
After conducting a study comparing Kansas universities to schools in other states, the Kansas Board of Regents named the University of Kansas a best buy for the 2004-2005 academic year.
Kansas State University and Wichita State University were also named best buys.
The three universities, the state's only research universities, are 21 percent below the national average in tuition, which is $5,618. The universities are also 15 percent lower than the regional average, which is $5,199.
All figures come from the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, of which all three schools are members.
Not only did the large state universities make the best buy list, so did the state's three regional schools.
Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University and Pittsburg State University offered tuition rates that were one-third less than the national average of $4,585. The average tuition of the three schools, $3,077, was one-quarter less than the regional average of $4,121.
Figures for those three universities come from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, of which all are members.
The best buy moniker only encompasses cost, said Kip Peterson, director of government relations and communications for the Kansas Board of Regents. Value and benefit were not part of the analysis, Peterson said.
Ranking consists of many factors and is compiled in different ways.
U. S. News and World Report uses eight different factors, none of which include cost, said Robert J. Norris, director of data research for U.S. News & World Report. The factors comprise peer assessment, admissions, financial resources, faculty resources, alumni giving, reputation, graduation and retention.
"People should look at more than price alone," Norris said. "But looking at equal schools it can matter, it's perception."
The magazine ranks schools against their peers throughout the nation, not just regionally, Norris said.
If students compare schools throughout the region or state, price is probably a factor in deciding where to go, Norris said. But students who are looking at colleges throughout the nation are looking at more things than just price.
Cost can still be significant, however, when you are comparing a school like Northwestern University, which costs almost $40,000 for tuition and housing, with the University of Kansas, which costs about $12,000, Norris said.

DRIVING DANGERS
Research reveals cell phone use increases risk of car crashes
BY KEN THOMAS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Using a cell phone while driving quadruples the risk of getting into a crash with serious injuries, a study finds.
Research released July 12 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety suggests that using a hands-free device instead of a handheld phone while behind the wheel will not necessarily
improve safety.
and lawmakers are grappling for ways to reducing driver distraction.
The study found that handheld devices were slightly riskier than hands-
The researchers used cell phone records to compare phone use within 10 minutes before an actual crash with cell use by the same driver during the previous week.
Each driver's cell usage during a 10-minute interval prior to the accident was compared with use during at least one earlier period when no accident occurred.
You are four times more likely to be involved in a car wreck if using a cell phone.
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, found no difference in the risk posed to male and female drivers or to drivers older and younger than 30.
free ones, but the difference was not statistically significant.
More motorists are using cell phones on the road than ever,
Each driver, in effect, served as his or her own control group in the study.
A survey released earlier this year by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found 8 percent of drivers were using cell phones during daylight hours last year. It represented a 50 percent increase since 2002.

Four bombs rattle UK

A front view of the bus which was destroyed by a bomb in London on July 7, is seen July 8. Commuters in London reluctantly descended into the Underground on the morning of July 8, attempting to return to routine in the aftermath of four rush-hour blasts that killed at least 50 people the day before. Police said the attacks had the signatures of the al-Qaida terror network.
LONDON — Police raised the death toll in London's terrorist bombings to 52 on July 11 as forensics experts identified the first of the victims — a 53-year-old mother of two from outside London. Prime Minister Tony Blair promised a "vigorous and intense" manhunt for the attackers.
As workers searched the twisted wreckage for more bodies, millions of Londoners rode subways and buses to and from work, tense but intent on resuming their routines four days after the strikes.
"We won't let a small group of terrorists change the way we live," Ken Livingstone, London's mayor said.
In a somber address to the House of Commons, his first since the attacks, Blair said it seemed probable that Islamic extremists were responsible for what he called the "murderous carnage of the innocent."
No specific intelligence could have prevented the strikes, Blair said.
"Our country will not be defeated by such terror," Blair told lawmakers. "We will pursue those responsible wherever they are and will not rest until they are identified and ... brought to justice."
President Bush expressed solidarity with Britain and said, "America will not retreat in the face of terrorists and murderers."
Officials raised the confirmed death toll, from 49 to 52 as workers searched for corpses in mangled subway cars marooned in a hot, dusty, rat-infested tunnel, and warned that the body count likely would climb.
"That will rise," Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Ian Blair said outside the King's Cross station near the site of
"They still have to get underneath the carriages, and it is possible they will find more," he said.

Two other subway trains and a double-decker bus also were destroyed in the attacks, which wounded 700 people. Fifty-six
remained hospitalized on July 11, many in critical condition officials said.
Police said they had identified the first of the victims — Susan Levy, 53, of Hertfordshire outside London. Forensics experts said it could take days to weeks to put names to the bodies, and would have to be identified through dental records or DNA analysis.
Police have suspects in London bombings
BY THOMAS WAGNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEEDS, England Police are investigating whether four attackers possibly suicide bombers died in the London subway and bus explosions on July 7. Police have arrested one suspect after a series of raids July 12 in Leeds, a northern city with a strong Muslim community.
At least three of the suspected bombers came from the West Yorkshire region, which includes Leeds, said Peter Clarke, head of the Metropolitan Police anti-terrorist branch.
Closed-circuit TV video showed that all four had arrived at King's Cross station by 8:30 a.m. on July 7, about 20 minutes before the blasts began that killed at least 52 people Clarke said.
Meanwhile, the BBC reported that explosives were found in a car at a rail station in Luton, 30 miles north of London. Police said earlier they carried out a controlled explosion on a car that was parked at the station and believed linked to the attacks. Metropolitan Police officers from London examining the car carried out the controlled explosion, Bedfordshire police said.
In a Scotland Yard news conference, Clarke said police had "strong forensic and other evidence" that the man believed to have carried a bomb onto the subway train that exploded between the Aldgate and Liverpool Street stations died in the blast. Police are awaiting confirmation from the coroner and are trying to determine whether the other three also died in the explosions.
One of the suspects had been reported missing by his family at 10 p.m. on July 7, and some of his property was found on the double-decker bus where 13 died, Clarke said.
Some witness accounts suggested the bus bomber may have blundered, blowing up the wrong target and accidentally killing himself. Media reports have quoted an eyewitness who got off the crowded bus just before it exploded and said he saw an agitated man in his 20s fiddling anxiously with something in his bag.
"Everybody is standing face-to-face and this guy kept dipping into this bag," Richard Jones, 61, of Berkshire, told the BBC.
Investigators also found personal documents bearing the names of two of the other men. Police did not identify the men.
Acting on six warrants stemming from those developments, British soldiers blasted their way into a Leeds house July 12 to search for explosives and computers. Streets were cordoned off and about 500 people were evacuated.
No one was in the house at the time of the raid, said Miles Himsworth, police inspector.
"It's a very,very complicated investigation," Himsworth said. "It will be a very slow and very meticulous search in order that any evidence that is there can be gathered carefully."

Researchers unearth 11,000-year-old bones

Recent dig reveals early human activity in the Great Plains
BY RORY FLYNN
editor@kansan.com
SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
Remnants of early humans in the Great Plains were successfully located at a dig in northwestern Kansas by a group of researchers from the Kansas Geological Survey. at the University of Kansas, and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
The survey team, made up of survey researchers, staff from the Kansas State Historical Society and approximately 40 volunteers from the Kansas
Anthropological Association, found bones from a bison killed by humans, and that shows evidence of some of the earliest human life in the Great Plains.
The bison bones date back to the Clovis period that began 12,200 years ago. The director of the dig, Kansas Geological Survey archaeological geologist Rolfe Mandel, said, "This find marks the first recorded Clovis period human campsite."
The dig, which took place near Goodland, in Sherman County, began June 4 and concluded June 19.
Previous digs at this site unearthed artifacts such as mammoth bones and tools from about 11,000 years ago. Mandel said he thought the site could offer new evidence on the period when humans entered the Western Hemisphere. He said there was no definitive evidence of human activity in the western world earlier than the pre-Clovis period of approximately 13,500 years ago.
Mandel said he planned to return to the site next June to further his search for ancient artifacts of human activity in the Great Plains.

If you are getting tired of the same old summer activities around Lawrence, Summer Heat may be the answer to your boredom.
For a change in your summer itinerary, head to Topeka Sports Cabaret, 4216 NE Seward Ave., on July 14 for Summer Heat.
Summer Heat is hosted by Scott McIntire, a.k.a. DJ Scottie Mac, Lawrence DJ promoter, and Steve Alley, owner of the Emporia club, Deuces Are Wild, and event promoter. The event features an all-day barbecue, a donation car wash, a celebrity volleyball match and a concert to finish off the night.
Summer Heat kicks off at 3 p.m. with a donation car wash. All proceeds will go to the American Heart Association. At 5 p.m. there will be a celebrity volleyball match featuring Miss Kansas Latina 2004, Cindy Lopez; former models for the Women of KU calendar; and current and former Kansas athletes.
"Summer Heat is a unique club event that provides outside entertainment for people to enjoy the summer weather, and the activities appeal to all crowds," McIntire said.
If you get there at 3 p.m. when the event starts, you will receive an arm band, and admission is $3, Alley said. If you just come for the concert, admission is $7.
The concert, beginning at 7 p.m., features The Popper, known for his hip-hop hit "I Do." The Popper is originally from Kansas City and will be the main music event of the night.
Two Topeka natives, R&B artist Reggie B and Latin band Los Serrano Peppers, will also be performing. Three DJs — DJ Scottie Mac, DJ Youngtree, Topeka, and DJ Soap, Lawrence — will be in attendance to provide a taste of the local sounds.
Alley said the event was for a good cause, and it was a great opportunity for nightlife that you wouldn't normally find in Topeka.

RESEARCH
Study suggest kids want discipline
BY Liz NARTOWICZ
lnartowicz@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A study by a University of Kansas researcher suggests punishment is the preferred and most effective treatment for troubled children.
Gregory Hanley, assistant professor of applied behavioral science, conducted a study on problem-behavior prevention for children with severe mental illnesses.
Hanley conducted his study at Johns Hopkins University and explored the children's preferences for educational formats.
Hanley worked with two children throughout his study and determined that children not only needed, but also wanted a form of punishment to correct their aggressive behavior.
The subjects were 5-year-old Jay and 8-year-old Betty. These children suffered from extreme mental retardation and were chosen for the study because of their aggressive
nature, Hanley said. Besides injuring others, including parents and other children, Betty and Jay inflicted pain on themselves.
"These children would blind themselves from head banging," Hanley said.
Both children had been hospitalized from self-injuries.
Hanley said because the children could not communicate accurately, they relied on acting out aggressively to receive attention and convey their needs.
Hanley began his research to discover an effective means for preventing such behavior in special needs children in 1996.
In order to find the most effective means, Hanley provided the children with options of how they would like researchers and parents to respond to their behavior. Hanley narrowed the options down to three for the children.
Responses included sole communication that expressed disapproval of the behavior, communication accompanied
by a punishment and punishment alone. Parents chose from a list which punishment their child would receive. Jay's punishment was for researchers to hold his hands in his lap for 30 seconds. Betty's was hand restraint along with covering of the eves.
These types of punishments were time out punishments, Hanley said. They were a temporary removal from a desired environment.
Response options were put in the form of color-coded switches for the children to choose from. It took a while for the children to comprehend the meaning behind the switches, but they ultimately did. Hanley said.
What Hanley found through his study was that the children preferred the communication paired with punishment option.
"People wrongly assume people would not prefer punishment," Hanley said. "This study challenges that assumption."
The debate about whether punishment is a preferred and effective treatment for problem behavior has been around since the '70s, said Wayne Sailor, associate director for the Beach Center on Disability located inside Haworth Hall.
Within the last three decades, Sailor said all available evidence pointed in the other direction. Punishment is neither preferred nor effective. Sailor said.
"Punishment just makes kids angry." Sailor said.
Sailor said evidence suggested punishment suppressed the problem behavior in the short term but did not solve the problem. Sailor said what actually worked was the Positive Behavior Support system.
The system teaches parents and caretakers to discover what function the behavior serves the child, and then provide support to modify the behavior.
Sailor said what support authorities offered children to modify problem behavior depended on the individual, settings and conditions. Sailor said one could deal with problem behavior better through building self-esteem rather than through a physical punishment.
Hanley said he realized society would be hesitant to the idea of using, or talking about, punishment. He said in the past, people abused and overused punishment, thus making the pendulum swing the other way. Hanley said society was at a point now to find a middle road.
As for the children, who cannot comprehend the role of punishment within a society, Hanley said he thought they preferred punishment because of permissive parenting. Permissive parenting is parenting without setting limits, Hanley said.
"Children want parents to parent," Hanley said. "Parents should not be afraid to discipline these children."
Hanley's research was published in the Spring 2005 edition of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis.

SCHOOL OF LAW
Green Hall construction continues
1982
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
The commons area in Green Hall is getting a facelift. Stultz Construction Co. began the project two months ago and it most likely will be completed before the fall semester begins.
BY ASHLEY MICHAELS
amichaels@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Green Hall is undergoing two simultaneous major construction projects this summer.
The Snell Courtroom and the first floor commons area renovations are both possible because of gifts from alumni donors.
The courtroom is the smaller of the two projects, said Crystal Mai, associate dean of the School of Law.
Renovations to the courtroom include cosmetic upgrades such as new carpet and new paint. The major enhancement to the courtroom is the installment of new technology.
"The courtroom is going to be technologically advanced," said Brad Shafer, development director for the University of Kansas School of Law. "Students will be able to work in a courtroom similar to those they will encounter in the real world.
"As compared to those at other schools, KU law students will be ahead of the learning curve in that sense."
Snell Courtroom was originally financed by a contribution from Frank Snell, a KU law alumnus. When Snell graduated from the University, he started his own firm, the Snell and Wilmer law firm, in Phoenix. He made a concerted effort to return to the University and recruit law students to his firm, Shafer said.
Snell has since passed away, but Snell and Wilmer remains home to several former KU law students. These students have generously taken it upon themselves to continue Snell's legacy by funding the renovations, Shafer said.
The larger of the two projects is a complete renovation to the first floor commons area in Green Hall.
The commons area has been gutted, Mai said. The project includes putting in new flooring, making dramatic changes to the walls, adding a lot of glass elements, putting in a kitchenette, a plasma television screen, all new furniture, and a new conference room for student organizations to meet.
"Unrestricted giving allows for the flexibility to fund priority projects, such as this, for which state support is unavailable," Shafer said. "Of course, we are still seeking additional support for this project and there is a naming opportunity connected to this very high-visibility space."
Shafer said the commons area was in dire need of renovation. Green Hall is about 25 years old
and the commons area is the most heavily used area in the building.
"The student commons area is going to be modernized, making this space equal or superior to any student area at any other law school in the country, functionally and aesthetically," Shafer said.
Shafer said students don't realize how much their collegiate experience is enhanced by alumni donors. Anytime they walk into a named building or are granted a scholarship, students are experiencing a gift from a KU graduate, Shafer said.
"These projects are perfect examples of graduates giving back." she said.
The two projects should be completed by August 15th, just in time to greet students this fall.

Beauty schools offer cheap styles for students looking to cut costs
MATRIX MCCONNELL
Angela Harris, Lawrence resident, gets her hair cut and styled by cosmetology student Jessica Melton, Olathe. Harris is a frequent customer at Z Cosmetology Academy because of the low prices and good service. All services are provided by students and supervised by licensed instructors.
BY ASHLEY MICHAELS amichaels@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In a college town like Lawrence, with thousands of college students wanting to save money, there is a never-ending demand for cheap haircuts.
Both Lawrence Beauty Academy, 2211 Silicon Dr., and Z Cosmetology Academy, 2429 Iowa, offer such services.
These establishments are places for cosmetology students to gain experience in their field, whether it be nails, hair or aesthetics. Cosmetology schools can benefit the pocketbook and give you the same service you would receive at a salon.
A school can charge whatever it wants, but because they are schools and the students aren't licensed, schools don't charge as much, said Ron McKenzie, instructor at Z Cosmetology Academy.
"Lawrence is primarily a student city and people can't afford the high-price salons," McKenzie said. "Students also enjoy coming to students because they can relate to each other."
"I assumed they are younger and up on the latest styles, plus I'm a poor college student," Horton said.
Carly Horton, Houston senior, said she went for the low cost and the student atmosphere.
A common myth about going to a cosmetology school is that students do not provide the same quality as a licensed professional, McKenzie said.
The fact of the matter is that the students have been well prepared to work in a salon-
style setting and, more often than not, provide the customer with a high level of professionalism, said Susan Quinn, manager of JCPenney Styling Salon.
"If I feel like they're not ready, I make them go back through the basics," McKenzie said. "It is our goal to make our students salon-quality."
The state requires that students complete 320 hours before they can actually go out on the floor, McKenzie said.
Cosmetology students are still students, so there is always an instructor available to make sure the job is done right. Cosmetology instructors have to maintain a continuing education, attending conferences and workshops to keep their license and to stay current on the latest styles for their students.
McKenzie said that customers often came into the academy to have them correct something that another salon had done.
"People know that we are still teaching our students the basic rules and that instructors are present," McKenzie said. "Our students go through an interview process and a harder curriculum so that when they are done they are ready to be a beautician."
Not everyone is quite so optimistic about putting their beauty needs in the hands of student stylists.
Molly Buehler, Kansas City, Mo., high school senior, said that by going to a beauty school you would be taking a large risk because you may not have time to correct something they've messed up, especially if you were on a tight schedule like before a big event.
McKenzie said when you go
to a beauty school, you should get background information on the instructors.
"Picking out a cosmetology school is no different than picking out a salon," McKenzie said. "There are some schools that might not put as much effort into their education and then not put out a good product. Just because a job costs $150 doesn't mean it's better than a $40 job."
The students respect and appreciate the customers because if not for the customers, the students would be working on mannequins, McKenzie said.
"We aren't doing it for profit," said Denni Stout, Lawrence Beauty Academy student. "We are doing it to gain the experience."

Hurricane falls short of predictions

Bill Starling/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Navarre Beach, Fla., Fire Chief Jim Wirth looks over the destroyed fire house July 11. The building was devastated by Hurricane Ivan less than a year ago, and again by Dennis.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAVARRE BEACH, Fla. — With a sigh of relief, Gulf Coast residents began hurricane cleanup — again.
Hurricane Dennis hit the storm-weary Florida Panhandle and Alabama coast on July 10 with less force than forecasters feared, sparing the region the widespread destruction caused by Ivan last September.
There was scattered flooding in Florida and Georgia, and more than 550,000 customers in four states were without power. Some were likely to be out for three weeks or more. However, officials reported little major structural damage.
"I think we dodged a pretty large bullet," said Nick Zangari, a restaurant and bar owner in Pensacola. "I think people took more precautions the second time around."
By 5 a.m. July 11, Dennis had weakened to a tropical depression centered over northeast Mississippi. As it moved north-northwest during the morning, rain fell across parts of the mid-Mississippi, Tennessee and lower Ohio valleys and into the Carolinas.
One band of rain stalled over Georgia and gave Peachtree City, a suburb of Atlanta, more than 6 inches in 18 hours, the National Weather Service said.
Dennis caused an estimated $1 billion to $2.5 billion in insured damage in the United States, according to a projection by AIR Worldwide Corp.of Boston, an insurance risk modeling company.
Munich Re, the world's biggest reinsurance company, estimated the insured loss at $3 billion to $5 billion.
Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said that while damage wasn't as widespread as expected, the storm was still devastating to those whose homes were damaged.
"We have to get help to them," he said on NBC's "Today." FEMA crews planned to be out July 11 distributing emergency supplies and will begin providing long-term relief, he said.
One death was reported, a man electrocuted in Fort Lau.
derdale when he stepped on a fallen power line, police spokesman Bill Schultz. Dennis was responsible for at least 20 deaths in the Caribbean.
Moving at 120 mph when it came ashore, Dennis was smaller than Ivan and weaker than when it churned through the Gulf of Mexico.
"We're really happy it was compact and that it lasted only so
long," said Mike Decker, who lost only some shingles and a fence at his Navarre home, near where the storm came ashore. "It was more of a show for the kids."
A show it was: striking less than 50 miles east of where Ivan came ashore, Dennis generated white-capped waves spewing four-story geysers over sea walls. Boats broke loose and bobbed like toys in the roiling ocean. Roofs went
flying, power lines fell and rain blew sideways in sheets.
There was scattered flooding. Some of the worst occurred in St. Marks, south of Tallahassee, where a marina, other businesses and homes were under water. The water had receded by July 11.
Flooding on U.S.98, the major coastal highway in the Panhandle, cut off main routes into beach communities. The Panama City Marine Institute also was under water.
Southern Georgia also had flooding, and people had to be rescued from about 400 homes in two counties, said Kandice Weech of the state Emergency Management Agency. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Dennis was the fifth hurricane to strike Florida in less than 11 months. President Bush issued a major disaster declaration for the state.
He also declared 38 counties in Mississippi and 45 counties in Alabama federal disaster areas, making them eligible for assistance from FEMA.

ADVICE
Need to air up? Head to the Rec.
Each week Mr. College Answer Person offers his wisdom and advice to those looking for "the inside word" on the college experience. He is answering your questions, so keep them coming to mastercollege@kansan.com.
Dear Mr. College Answer Person, Is there any place on campus where I can air up my bike tires? Eleanor Butler, Topeka junior
Yes, you can find a bike pump as well as a bicycle maintenance center in Outdoor Pursuits in the basement of the Student Recreation Fitness Center, 1740 Watkins Center Drive. Facility assistant at the Rec, Sara Hamilton, said the center did not have anyone on staff performing bike maintenance, but the center was equipped with the tools you needed if you wanted to tackle any repairs yourself. The Outdoor Pursuits center is also the area where you can rent camping and backpacking-related equipment and make use of the 42-foot tall rock-climbing wall. During the summer, hours of operation are 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday.
If you can't get to the Rec,you can always air up at one of the gas stations on 23rd Street or Ninth Street for a couple quarters. If you are downtown and in need of some air, Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop,802 Massachusetts St.,has a free in-store pump available for walk-in use.
It would probably be convenient to invest in an inexpensive pump that you can use whenever you need. After all, bike
tires lose air all the time, for no reason at all. There are two types of bike pumps you can buy: frame pumps and ground pumps. Frame pumps attach to your bike frame so they will always be there when you are in a pinch. Cycle Works. 2121 Kasold, carries frame pumps that start at $19.95. Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop has the Trek Mini-Pump on sale for $9.99. Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., offers an inexpensive foot-powered ground pump for $9.76. Ground pumps generally do the job faster than frame pumps and come equipped with built-in pressure gauges.

Dear Mr. College Answer Person,
What is the oldest building on campus? Eric Mbaka, Lumbubashi, Democratic Republic of Congo, senior
According to an article titled "Back In Power" on KUHistory.com, the oldest building on campus is the stone "Boiler House," located at 900 Sunnyside Avenue just east of the Dole Human Development Center. It was built in the early 1880s and originally housed the University's energy-producing implements, which were primarily steam and coal-powered at the time. The building is home to the Hall Center for the Humanities. For comprehensive information on the building and its history check out the article online.

Texas A&M leads the way in cloning experiments
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Eighty-six Squared has never been in a hurry.
The Black Angus bull was born 15 years after cells from his genetic donor. Bull 86, were frozen as part of a study on natural disease resistance. When Bull 86 died in 1997, scientists thought his unique genetic makeup was lost. But researchers at Texas A&M University were able to clone him from the frozen cells in 2000.
Now 5 years old, 86 Squared spends his days grazing on a rural area of the A&M campus. He was in no rush to greet recent visitors, slowly sauntering from deep inside his large metal pen.
Through painstaking experimentation, A&M is the world's first academic institution to clone six species in six years: cattle, a boer goat, pigs, a deer, a horse and — most famously — a cat named cc.
"Generally the way these things go is you do an experiment and then you do another experiment, then you do another experiment," said Mark Westhusin, lead researcher with the A&M cloning team. "It's slow, painstaking work to get little bitty pieces of information that you hope will one day help and improve the technology."
A&M researchers say only one percent to five percent of cloning procedures succeed.
A&M researchers are focused on trying to create livestock resistant to disease, particularly foot-and-mouth and mad cow disease. Bull 86 was naturally resistant to brucellosis, tuberculosis and other diseases. Eighty-six Squared has the same qualities.
Westhusin said A&M's goal has never been to clone many animals, but to study developmental biology. He acknowledged, however, that the school's work with pet cloning was probably focused more on whether it could be done.

Court approves education plan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA - The Kansas Supreme Court on July 8 ruled that the Legislature has complied with its order to boost public school funding.
The court's ruling means that schools will open as planned in August.
Earlier in the day, attorneys on both sides of an education funding lawsuit asked the court to keep public schools open, saying the Legislature's new $148 million spending bill answered the court's order for more education dollars.
The Supreme Court said it would continue to monitor the Legislature's efforts to improve education funding.
"The present solution may not be ideal," the court wrote in a three-page order signed by Chief Justice Kay McFarland. "However, it is approved for interim purposes."
"I think it's a victory for the plaintiffs, all Kansas kids, the State Board of Education and even the Legislature," said Alan Rupe, lead attorney for the parents and administrators who sued the state. "There is a handful that doesn't feel like they were victorious, but they will come realize it because of the improvements they have put in place that will serve Kansas for years to come."
The justices previously had ordered the Legislature to boost school funding by $143 million by July 1. The Legislature approved its $148 million plan the night
of July 7, on the 12th and final day of a special session, but the package included $27.7 million in property tax relief.
A key issue was whether the court would count the money for property tax relief as helping fulfill its mandate.
said. Still, we have Attorney General Phill Kline said he was pleased schools will open in August.
"As I stated at the beginning of the legislative session, our first priority must be that schools are open and our children continue to receive one of the best educations our nation has to offer," he said.
School districts will begin receiving the increased spending in September when the next disbursement of funds are scheduled. State aid to schools will total almost $3 billion for the next academic year, affecting 445,000 students and 64,000 teachers and support staff.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said the ruling illustrated what legislators can accomplish when they listen.
In their ruling, the justices also lifted stays placed in June on two provisions passed during the regular legislative session, which ended May 20 that allow local school boards to increase property taxes. The court said its action reflected
"It's great that teachers, parents and students can focus on learning, rather than wondering whether schoolhouse doors will be open in the fall," Sebelius said. "Still, we have lots of work to do."
legislative efforts to make the provisions equitable for all districts.
A stay placed on a third provision, which would allow districts with high housing costs to raise additional property taxes for teacher salaries, was not lifted.
McFarland said the court acted quickly in considering the spending package, "which is of utmost concern to school districts that began their fiscal year on July 1."
The court wasn't the first to use school closure as a threat in education litigation.
In New Jersey in 1976, the state's highest court ordered schools to remain closed, successfully forcing legislators to improve funding. Threats from high courts in Arizona and Texas compelled legislators in those states to do the same.
The court retains jurisdiction in the case, including oversight of a study based on the education costs of meeting state and federal mandates. The study's findings are expected to determine how much more money legislators must spend on schools.
Kansas' school funding debate is the latest development in a lawsuit filed in 1999 by parents and administrators in Dodge City and Salina, who argued the state did not spend enough money on schools and distributed its aid unfairly.
"I'm not the most trusting lawyer of the Kansas Legislature," Rupe said. "I'm going to be on them like a chicken on a June bug on the study."

SPACE TRAVEL
NASA prepares for launch
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — For the first time since the Columbia tragedy, NASA's countdown clocks were ticking down the hours, minutes and seconds to launch, heightening the anticipation for a July 15 liftoff of Discovery.
The countdown for the first space shuttle flight in 21/2 years was going well July 11, with no technical problems. NASA's sole concern was the weather: Dennis, although no longer a hurricane, still threatened to interfere, and a new tropical depression in the Atlantic posed a future concern.
"We're going to be looking at it quite closely," said test director Pete Nickolenko. He added that NASA was focusing on getting Discovery aloft this week, well before the next tropical weather strikes.
The countdown began July 10 as Hurricane Dennis battered the Florida Panhandle off to the northwest. The mission's seven astronauts flew in from Houston on July 9, a day early.
While Cape Canaveral was spared, Dennis still threatened to interfere with NASA's plans, with a week of thunderstorms on the horizon. Forecasters were hoping a ridge of high pressure would provide a break in the weather, however, and offered up fairly decent 70 percent odds for an on-time afternoon launch.
"It sure does feel good to be back in the saddle again. It's been too long," said payload manager Scott Higginbotham.
Test director Jeff Spaulding said excitement had been "building and growing" ever since the space agency overcame fuel-tank difficulties that prompted a launch delay a few months ago.
"It's only recently, I think, that it's all come to fruition where we can see the light at the end of the tunnel," Spaulding said.
"There's some excitement for people to get back to launching again and also, I think, maybe a quiet reserve as well, just remembering where we've been. But we all do feel confident that we've done it right."
Discovery will be making its first flight in four years when it takes off for the international space station with muchneeded supplies and replacement parts.
Even before Columbia broke up during re-entry on Feb. 1, 2003, Discovery had been undergoing an extensive overhaul. The catastrophe prompted nearly 50 additional modifications, all of which will be demonstrated for the first time on this 12-day test flight. Techniques for inspecting the shuttle's thermal shield and fixing any holes also will be tested by the crew.
The biggest change, by far, is the redesigned external fuel tank.
Columbia's fuel tank lost a large chunk of foam insulation at liftoff. The debris
slammed into the left wing, smashing a hole that proved catastrophic during reentry. All seven astronauts were killed.
NASA removed the responsible section of foam and installed heaters in its place to prevent ice buildup from the super-chilled fuel. Just 1 1/2 months ago, engineers added a heater in another iceprone spot on the tank; the work delayed the launch from May to July.
Managers also added extra checks for fuel-tank ice during the final portion of the countdown. Any significant patches of ice which could be as lethal as flying foam will mean a launch delay. Engineers considered putting infrared lamps at the pad to melt ice and covering vulnerable brackets with bags, but the ideas were scrapped, at least for now.
"With all the modifications, with all the improvements and changes and upgrades," Spaulding said, "certainly we can, without hesitation, say this will be the safest vehicle that we've ever had to launch."
That doesn't mean the tension level isn't high.
"It's a risky business so we're all sort of apprehensive," astronaut John Phillips said from the space station last week. But he added, "I am fully confident that we've done what it takes to get this shuttle up here and I'm very anxious to see them come up here."

Bush stands behind Rove despite partial admission
Dave Weaver/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY PETE YOST
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
White House assistant chief of staff Karl Rove addresses employees July 8, at Ameritrade's Bellevue, Neb., office. Rove was in Nebraska for a fundraiser in Omaha.
WASHINGTON — President Bush supports Karl Rove, the White House said July 12, rebuffing Democratic calls for Bush to fire his top political adviser over his role in the leak of an undercover CIA officer's identity.
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said Rove ought to be fired, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., said she agreed with Kerry's position.
Bush ignored a question about whether he would fire Rove, and White House spokesman Scott McClellan said later that "any individual who works here at the White House had the confidence of the president." McClellan said that includes Rove.
McClellan had said in September and October 2003 that Rove wasn't at all involved in the leak of information about the officer, Valerie Plame.
Bush has said he would fire anyone found to have leaked Plame's name. An e-mail by Cooper that surfaced over the weekend in Newsweek magazine says Rove identified the woman as someone who apparently worked at the CIA and that she authorized a trip to Africa for her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson. Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, says Rove did not disclose Plame's name to the Time magazine reporter.
The White House's defense came after two days of intense questioning following the disclosure that Rove talked about the officer in a July 11, 2003, conversation with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper.
"The fact that he didn't give her name, but identified the ambassador's wife doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure
out who that is," Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said on CNN's "Inside Politics." "If that occurred, at a minimum, that was incredibly bad judgment, warranting him being asked to leave."
Rove's conversation with Cooper took place five days after Plame's husband suggested in a New York Times op-ed piece that some of the intelligence related to Iraq's nuclear weapons program was twisted to exaggerate the Iraqi threat. Plame's name first appeared eight days later in a newspaper column by Robert Novak. The column said two administration officials told him Wilson's wife had suggested sending him to investigate whether Iraq had tried to obtain uranium from Niger. Cooper's byline appeared on an article a few days later naming Plame.
Pressed to explain its statements of two years ago that Rove wasn't involved in the leak, the White House refused to do so for the second straight day.
"If I were to get into discussing this, I would be getting into discussing an investigation that continues and could be prejudging the outcome of the investigation," McClellan said.
While the White House refused to answer, its allies jumped into the fray. Among them were House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa.
Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman said Rove was the victim of partisan political attacks by Democrats.
Rove "was discouraging a reporter from writing a false story based on a false premise," said Mehlman. Cooper's e-mail says that Rove warned him away from the idea that Wilson's trip had been authorized by CIA Director George Tenet or Vice President Dick Cheney.

MP3 players and their large-capacity cousins, hard disk drives, increasingly contain features that go beyond carrying music — photo and text storage, FM radio tuners and programmable recording.
Pretty cool, you might think. But if you don't live anywhere near your favorite radio station or can't stand the shock jocks and classic hits on commercial radio, then FM tuner or not, your MP3 player is little more than a portablejukebox for music you already own.
That is, until podcasting exploded out of the world of blogging in late 2004 and found its way over the last few months to an increasing number of major national and public broadcasters.
Steve Jobs, chief executive officer of Apple Computer Inc., called podcasting "the hottest thing going in radio," when he announced on June 18 that his company would be adding podcasting to the next version of iTunes.
Based on technology called Real Simple Syndication (RSS), podcasting allows listeners to download radio shows and other content, including unofficial museum and art gallery guides, as MP3 files. Shows can be subscribed to and podcasting software set to automatically download updates onto MP3 players.
Jobs said there already were more than 8,000 podcasts available online, and the number was growing fast.
It is radio-to-go, anytime, from any place.
Podcasting developed as an audio offshoot of blogging with a very strong grassroots ethic. Amateur podcasters churn out an astounding range of programming for listeners to choose from.
It was the rapid growth of amateur podcasting that attracted the attention of
big-name broadcasters.
Former MTV VJ Adam Curry said in a interview broadcast on www.podcast411.com, "I think that established media have two choices really when something comes along that really shifts the business mold...They can either extend or defend."
Jake Shapiro, executive director of the Public Radio Exchange, said that podcasting offered broadcasters, especially public broadcasters, both a challenge and an opportunity.
"Certainly, it's potentially a very disruptive model, but something that radio stations have seen coming," Shapiro said. "They were already keeping an eye on satellite radio and on Internet radio and on the coming of digital radio."
Shapiro said it was remarkable how quickly podcasting had been adopted. Shapiro said its success came from public radio stations that were often under-resourced.
These stations don't necessarily consider themselves cutting edge in taking a risk or picking up a new technology overnight, Shapiro said, and that is why it has been rapidly embraced.
One public radio station that jumped on the technology early and has been happy with the outcome is WNYC public radio in New York.
The station has discovered a new international audience, and received positive feedback from listeners.
The station's director of interactive media said that its most popular show, "On The Media," had grown from 28,000 downloads in January to more than 120,000 so far this month.
There are two ways to access podcasts: go to your favorite radio station to check if it is podcasting. MP3 downloads will be available alongside listen-on-demand links.
Or download free podcast software at Web sites such as www.podcastingnews. com. Paste in the address of the shows you wish to subscribe to or choose from the lists provided.

Prince fathers bastard child
PARIS — Prince Albert II of Monaco, who acknowledged last week that he is the father of a child born to a former Air France flight attendant, says others may step forward with paternity claims.
A day before the bachelor prince was to formally accede to the throne, Albert told the French TF1 TV station that he was "extremely shocked" at the way the existence of his nearly 2-year old son was made known by the press.
Asked if there might be other such cases, Albert said July 11. "I know there are other people who have nearly the same cases." He refused to elaborate, saying "we will answer when the moment comes"
French magazine Paris Match has shown photos of the child, his mother, Nicole Coste, and also of Albert feeding his son while Monaco was officially mourning the April death of Prince Rainier.
Albert's lawyer, Thierry Lacoste, issued a statement last week saying the prince wanted to face up to his responsibilities and acknowledged he was the father of the boy, whose name is Alexandre.
Albert, 47, son of Prince Rainier III and Hollywood beauty Grace Kelly, said Alexandre will "want for nothing," but the Monaco constitution does not place him in the hereditary line of rulers, so he will never inherit the throne.
The prince said in the TV interview that he remained quiet about his son because "I wanted to protect him."
"I was extremely shocked by the manner in which this was treated and the totally inopportune moment when it came out," he said.
Royal powers were automatically conferred on Albert upon the death of his father, who died April 6 at age 81. Albert's mother was killed in a car crash in 1982.
Journalist's remains to be shot into sky

ASPEN, Colo. — Friends and family of gonzo journalist Hunter S.Thompson are preparing to pepper the sky with the late writer's ashes.
His cremated remains will be shot into the air Aug. 20 from a cannon installed on a 150-foot-high tower behind his home in Woody Creek.The 67-year-old Thompson, who had been in failing health, shot himself at his home on Feb. 20 after a long and flamboyant career.

Johnny Depp, a close friend of Thompson's, has hired a Beverly Hills, Calif., events planner to oversee the event, which will be closed to the public.
"Hunter meant a lot to me. He was another hero and someone that I got to know very well because I played him in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.' We got very, very close," Depp said in a recent interview with APTelevision News.
"He was a great pal, one of my best friends. We had talked a couple of times about his last wishes to be shot out of a cannon of his own design. ... All I'm doing is trying to make sure his last wish comes true. I just want to send my pal out the way he wants to go out," the
42-year-old actor said in the interview.

In a poll of 45 actors, musicians and athletes, 20 percent most identified with the Disney animated character Goofy. Non-celebrities agreed, with 15 percent of 8,000 consumer respondents also selecting Mickey Mouse's best friend as the character they relate to the most.
Other survey results revealed singers Avril Lavigne and Ashanti know the words to "It's a Small World." Arquette and his wife, Courteney Cox, both picked The Haunted Mansion as their favorite attraction.
Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts hired independent research firm Directive Analytics to conduct the "Golden Ears" survey in honor of Disneyland's 50th anniversary July 17.

Pitt accompanies Jolie for adoption
The co-stars traveled to Ethiopia to finalize Jolie's adoption of a baby girl
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Angelina Jolie and her "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" co-star Brad Pitt were in Ethiopia to pick up the orphaned baby girl she was adopting, an official said July 7.
Pitt, Jolie and Jolie's 3-year-old son Maddox arrived July 6. The couple have refused to speak to The Associated Press about the adoption.
Tesfey Berhu, manager of the Wide Horizons agency, which arranged the adoption, said the exact cause of death of the baby's parents wasn't clear, but he suspected they died of AIDS, which has killed more than 900,000 people in Ethiopia.
For months, rumors of Pitt and Jolie's offscreen relationship have been circulating. The couple have been photographed together near her Buckinghamshire, England, estate, while he rides a dirt bike with Maddox. They have also been photographed with Maddox on a beach in Africa.
The twice-divorced Jolie has often talked of adopting a second child. The 30-year-old actress has told People that she and Maddox, whom she adopted in Cambodia, are "very happy to have a new addition to our family."
Jolie has named her 5-month-old daughter Zahara Marley Jolie, according to People magazine's Web site.
Pitt, 41, and his wife, Jennifer Aniston, announced their separation in January. Aniston filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences. Pitt has denied Jolie is the reason for the split and Jolie has said she's never had sex with Pitt.
Ethiopia, a country of 70 million, has more than 5 million orphans, their parents lost to famine, disease, war and AIDS.
In 2003, a record 1,400 children were adopted from abroad, more than double the number in the previous year. The number of private adoption agencies in Addis Ababa, the capital, has doubled in the past year to 30.
Ethiopia has strict laws to thwart dubious adoption agents and fraudulent paperwork. Agencies charge adoption fees of about $20,000 per child.

Lil' Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, center, is helped into Manhattan federal court by security, July 6, in New York. Grammy-award winning rapper Lil' Kim was sentenced July 6 to a year and a day in prison and fined $50,000 for lying to a federal grand jury to protect friends involved in a 2001 shootout outside a Manhattan radio station.

NEW YORK — Rapper Lil' Kim's raunchy lyrics and revealing outfits helped her become one of hardcore rap's first female stars. Now she's poised to break another barrier: becoming the first big-name female rapper to go to prison.
The Grammy winner was sentenced July 6 to one year and one day for perjury and conspiracy — a term far less than the three years and seven months sought by prosecutors.
Kim escaped a stiffer sentence after telling a judge she was a "God-fearing good person" who regretted lying to a federal grand jury about a 2001 shootout outside a Manhattan radio station.
U. S. District Judge Gerard Lynch said he had weighed the idea of sending a young black entertainer to prison far longer than Martha Stewart, who spent five months behind bars after a false statements conviction.
Lynch suggested Lil' Kim — her real name is Kimberly Jones — deserved more time because she had lied about a violent crime, not a white-collar scheme. He also noted that unlike Stewart, she took the witness stand at her trial earlier this year and repeated her lies.
"You sat right next to me there and stared in the eyes of the jurors, and you tried to charm them and you tried to fake them out," Lynch said.
But the judge also credited Lil' Kim with returning to court July 6 and admitting she had lied all along to protect members of her entourage.
"At the time I thought it was the right thing to do, but I now know it was wrong," she said, her voice breaking.
Lil' Kim said she wanted to "take complete blame" for the actions of her assistant, Monique Dopwell, who's awaiting sentencing for the same crimes.
She also asked the judge "to consider my entire life's work and not just the days in the grand jury and on the witness stand in the courtroom. I'm a God-fearing, good person."
The artist, who turns 30 next week, was the sidekick and mistress of the late Notorious B.I.G.
Lil' Kim, who was ordered to report to prison Sept. 19, left the courthouse without speaking to reporters.
As a solo artist, she has become known for her revealing outfits and suggestive lyrics. She won a Grammy in 2001 for her part in the hit remake of "Lady Marmalade."
Lil' Kim's group confronted the others about the Capone-N-Noreaga song "Bang, Bang," which contained an insult to Lil' Kim from rival Foxy Brown. One man was
The case stemmed from a gun battle that erupted outside WQHT-FM, known as Hot 97, when Lil' Kim's entourage crossed paths with a rival rap group, Capone-N-Noreaga.
hurt in the shootout that followed.
Before the grand jury and at the trial, the rapper claimed she did not notice two of her close friends at the scene of the shootout — her manager, Damion Butler, and Suif Jackson. Both have pleaded guilty to gun charges.
Jurors at Lil' Kim's trial saw radio station security photos that depicted Butler opening a door for the rap star, and two witnesses who once made records with Lil' Kim said they saw her at the station with Butler and Jackson.
Celebrities set to tee off this weekend
STATELINE, Nev. — They dream of striking the ball like Tiger Woods, but they'll settle for an occasional birdie and some luck at the blackjack tables.
"My No. 1 goal is to win money in the casino," Charles Barkley said before the 16th annual American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe. "My No. 2 goal is not hit anybody."
The former NBA star is among dozens of athletes and celebrities who will play in the $500,000 tournament that runs July 15 through July 17 at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
Former NHL player Dan Quinn is the favorite to win his third straight celebrity championship. A 500-to-1 long shot, Barkley finds some comfort that Chris Webber of the Philadelphia 76ers is in the field again.
"Thank God C. Web is going to be there. If I can't beat C. Web, I really have to give this game up," Barkley said. "That guy shot 130 (last year) and we gave him like 50 shots."

GUEST COMMENTARY
Cities unite on emissions
POLITICAL SUPPORTER
GREG NICKELS Fifty-fifth and current mayor of Seattle. His four-year term as mayor began on January 1, 2002.
On July 6, the leaders of the world's eight most prosperous nations gathered in Scotland to talk about one of the most important challenges facing the international community: global warming.
With 141 countries committed to the goals of the Kyoto Treaty, the G8 Summit was an opportunity for these world leaders to focus on this urgent problem.
In the United States, cities across the country are taking up this cause. Alongside giants of the private sector, such as the CEOs of General Electric and Cinergy, a movement to address global warming is building.
And why? Because the effects of global warming are being felt everywhere. In the Pacific Northwest, for example, recent declines in mountain snow pack are affecting the water supply and the ability to get hydroelectric power. In response to this and other worrying signs, Seattle has enacted a number of reforms to reduce its greenhouse gases.
As a government, we've reduced emissions from city operations by about 60 percent from 1990 levels. We've evaluated our effect on global warming, converted most of our fleet to hybrid electric cars, and instituted high efficiency standards for buildings.
Seattle City Light, which provides electricity to more than 360,000 homes and businesses, is meeting its commitment of zero net greenhouse gas emissions. And in order to take these successes beyond city government, I've established a Green Ribbon Commission to make community-wide recommendations.
WWW.KANSAN.COM
But Seattle is not the only city concerned with climate change. This past February, I began organizing other mayors to join me in addressing global warming in their own cities. The "U.S.Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement" has been signed by 167 mayors and is supported by the U.S.Conference of Mayors.
In a unanimous vote, the conference passed a resolution supporting the agreement and called for Congress to pass bipartisan greenhouse gas reduction legislation that includes clear time tables and emissions limits.
Progress is being made at the federal level. For the first time, the U.S. Senate in a resolution that passed 54-43—acknowledged the need to set mandatory limits on our nation's greenhouse gas emissions. If Congress continues to move forward on climate change, it will do so with national support.
Sponsored by the nonprofit coalition Clear the Air, a national survey found that three out of four U.S. electric utility customers were concerned about global warming. In contrast, only about one in 10 of those polled said they were not worried about climate change. In fact, more than 75 percent of those polled wanted Congress to require reductions in global warming pollution.
In Seattle, I've seen firsthand how facing the challenge of climate change is the right thing to do for the economy, the regional environment and the quality of life of residents. I know quite a few other mayors who would tell you the same.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Self hires father of Mario Chalmers
Kansas men's head basketball coach Bill Self announced Ronnie Chalmers as director of basketball operations on June 28.
"Throughout this past year I've had a chance to get to know Ronnie on a personal and professional basis and have been very impressed with his knowledge and ability to work with people," Self said.
Chalmers, father of incoming freshman Mario Chalmers, comes from Anchorage, Alaska, where he was head basketball coach for five seasons at Bartlett High School. At Bartlett, he had a 109-28 record, led his team to consecutive state championships in 2002 and 2003.
The Wayland Baptist University graduate brings with him
more than 20 years of basketball coaching experience. Since 1985, he has served in both assistant and head coaching positions with Air Force squads as well as high school and summer league teams.
"He has a long military background and excellent basketball portfolio and we felt he would be a great addition to our staff, filling a position that was void this past year." Self said.
As director of basketball operations, Chalmers will once again join his son on the sidelines. Their player-coach relationship started during Mario's sixth grade year, but Ronnie said that Mario alone decided to come to Kansas.
"This is a great opportunity to get my foot in the door at the college level, follow my son and be a part of one of the best programs in the country;" Chalmers said.

Giddens to end up as New Mexico Lobo
J. R. Giddens is transferring to the University of New Mexico.
The former Jayhawk decided to leave the University after a May 19 incident outside the Moon Bar, an incident in which Giddens was stabbed in the right calf.
New Mexico is the only university that Giddens visited, and he made his decision within two weeks of leaving Kansas. Other universities such as Tennessee and Florida also showed interest in Giddens, who was set to be the leading returning scorer for the Jayhawks next season. Giddens averaged 10.1 points his sophomore year and led Kansas in 3-pointers both of his seasons as a Jayhawk.
Giddens will have to sit out
his junior season because of NCAA transfer rules.
"J.R. seems excited about going to the University of New Mexico," said Kansas men's basketball head coach Bill Self. "They have an excellent program there and we wish him the best and hope he's able to live out his dream."

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Missouri player dies during workout
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A University of Missouri football player died Tuesday after collapsing during a voluntary workout with teammates, a hospital official told The Associated Press.
University Hospital spokeswoman Mary Jenkins confirmed the death of Aaron A. O'Neal, 19, a redshirt freshman linebacker
from the St. Louis suburb of Creve Coeur.
The cause of death was not immediately available.
O'Neal, a four-sport standout and football captain at Parkway North High School in St. Louis, was listed third on theTigers' depth chart at middle linebacker. He collapsed during a light workout on Faurot Field with about a dozen teammates July 12 afternoon, witnesses said.
"That's all the kid wanted to do, was play for Missouri," said Bob Bunton, O'Neal's high school football coach. "He was so happy and doing so well. I just feel bad for his family."
The 6-foot-3, 220-pound O'Neal showed no evidence of any serious medical problems in high school, Bunton said.
O'Neal chose Missouri over Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas State and Illinois to follow an older brother.

WSU coach resigns, returns

Doug Hoke/The Oklahomaan New Oklahoma head baseball coach Gene Stephenson addresses the media July 11, in Norman, Okla. Not long after he was announced Oklahoma's new baseball coach, Stephenson decided to go back to the Wichita State Shockers.
BY JEFF LATZKE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Gene Stephenson had the one job he'd always wanted. It lasted less than a day.
Just hours after he was introduced as Oklahoma's new baseball coach July 11, Stephenson pulled a shocking turnabout by heading back to the Wichita State program he built from the ground up.
Stephenson issued a statement through the Wichita State athletic department July 11 saying that he would return to the Shockers, who he'd led to more than 1,500 wins, 23 NCAA tournament appearances and a College World Series title in 28 seasons. He blamed "unresolvable" scholarship issues for his decision to leave Oklahoma.
"We are very appreciative for the opportunity to coach at the University of Oklahoma," Stephenson said. "... We have worked over the years at Wichita State in order to use our scholarships and to plan for the use of our future scholarships.
"As we assessed the Oklahoma baseball scholarship situation, we would be too limited in our ability to take the program in the direction that we think it should go."
Stephenson gave up the job at Oklahoma even quicker than he had taken it, only four days after he'd entered athletic director Joe Castiglione's picture as a candidate and less than 12 hours after he was introduced as the new skipper.
"Joe knows I would have liked to have had a few more days to think about it, but this program needs to move on and I felt like this was the right move," Stephenson said at a news conference July 11, where he tried on an Oklahoma jersey and cap and repeatedly fought off tears while lamenting the tough choice to leave Wichita State. "I hope it's the right time."
It turned out it wasn't.
Oklahoma officials, including
Castiglione, said Stephenson was aware of the Sooners' situation before he accepted the job
"Gene Stephenson is a very fine person and a fine coach and we have to respect his decision and move on with our selection process expeditiously." Castiglione said in a statement.
Stephenson was to replace Sunny Golloway, who took over on an interim basis when Larry Cochell resigned May 1 after using a racial slur during interviews with two ESPN reporters.
It also wasn't the first time Stephenson, a Sooners assistant from 1972 to 1977, was considered a candidate at Oklahoma. Stephenson was up for the job in 1990, after he had led Wichita State to the College World Series title, but he stayed with the Shockers.
At his introduction July 11, Stephenson called the Oklahoma job "la lifelong dream" and proclaimed that the Sooners could do all he'd done at Wichita State and more.

Gamblers test their luck in World Poker
BY TIM DAHLBERG
AP SPORTS COLUMNIST
LAS VEGAS — Elvis was in the building, though the King would have been horrified to have this kind of entourage in his prime. There were cheerleaders, too, 10 in all, dressed in little black skirts and plunging orange tops.
This week the Rio hotel-casino, a carnival-themed resort, is in the midst of hosting a real car
nival called the World Series of Poker, the richest poker tournament ever. Here, the believers are all trying to cash in on the pokercraze in one way or another.
Some lucky — and, yes, most of it is luck — player will walk away next week with more than $7 million for outlasting some 6,000 others in a tournament that owes much of its popularity to online gambling sites of dubious legality and reality television.
Eight or nine others at the final
table will earn at least $1 million.
That's 10 people. Left unsaid is that everyone else will be donating their $10,000 buy-in.
The eventual champion may be an old pro like Doyle "Texas Dolly" Brunson or have a good nickname like Jesus or Fossilman. Better yet, he may be an online player who doesn't need a nickname like Chris Moneymaker, an accountant who invested 40 bucks in an Internet tournament two years ago and

Kansas on two-year probation
Football, men's and women's basketball cited for breaking NCAA regulations
BY ASHLEY MICHAELS
amichaels@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The University of Kansas athletics department is on a two-year probation imposed by Chancellor Robert Hemenway.
At a press conference held July 15, Hemenway, Athletics Director Lew Perkins, and Rick Evarard, former NCAA enforcement official and current partner with the law firm of Bond, Schoeneck & King, discussed the details and commented on the incidents.
"I support the Chancellor's actions and thank him for his guidance, leadership and support," Perkins said. "There is nothing I want more than to win, but not at the expense of NCAA rules."
Three teams have been cited for violating NCAA rules: football and women's and men's basketball. The violations occurred
before Perkins' arrival in 2003, a KU Athletics Department press release said.
When Perkins arrived at the University, Drue Jennings, interim athletics director, informed Perkins of possible NCAA rules violations, Perkins said. The next day Perkins contacted Evrard to investigate these possible violations and advise the University on NCAA compliance and infraction matters, Perkins said.
Chancellor Hemenway and Perkins then decided it best to conduct a full compliance audit of the University's athletics compliance program. Hemenway said. The firm was instructed to investigate and report any NCAA violations. It found several violations that it then included in a self-report and gave to the NCAA, Hemenway said.
The self-report outlined every violation in detail and the corrective measures that would be taken to ensure that the same
mistakes didn't happen in the future, according to the Athletics Department press release.
"We wanted to avoid the appearance of any bias," Hemenway said. "Our goal is to be as transparent as possible.
"We set very high standards at KU and we are very disappointed that at times we fell short of those standards."
Perkins said that the student-athletes, especially in the case of men's basketball, were not to blame. The men's basketball violation occurred when donors gave men's basketball players gifts of money and clothes after they had finished their eligibility. Perkins said that the donors were not to blame because they called the basketball offices and asked if it was OK and they were told it was.
Former head coach Roy Williams was notified of the violation, Perkins said.
"He thought it was OK to and he asked
someone if it was OK and he was told it was," Perkins said. "It was a misinterpretation of the rules."
Evrard said that you can't provide a student-athlete, past or present, with a gift under the rule of extra benefit.
"The rule of extra benefit goes from enrollment until they die," Evrard said.
The probationary period began June 7, a decision made by the University. During this time the athletics department will be under heightened scrutiny, Evrard said. At this time the NCAA is reviewing the self-report. It has assigned an investigator and plans to do follow-up interviews, Evrard said. A set time has not been given, he said, for when the NCAA will decide if it thinks the self-imposed consequences are enough or if it thinks further action should be taken.

STUDENT DEATH
Student dies in I-35 wreck
Three University of Kansas students lay in hospital beds in Wichita after a car crash on the Interstate Highway 35 portion of the Kansas Turnpike. The collision happened outside of Wichita, near El Dorado, on June 13.
The crash killed Stephanie Hoyt, Kansas City, Kan. freshman, who was driving her 2002 Ford Focus. The three injured in the accident were Kansas City, Kan., freshmen Genevie Gold, Sharon Wright and Rachel Kannaday. All passengers in the accident are 19.
The students were returning from a trip to Texas, and after reaching Wichita, got on I-35 south, which would have sent them back the way they came. Once the girls realized the mistake, they tried to cross lanes to reach a service area and turn around. As they merged, their vehicle was struck by another car and Hoyt died instantly.
An ambulance took the other three girls to Wesley Medical Center, Wichita, where the hospital listed Gold and Wright as serious and Kannaday as critical. As of June 18, the girls' conditions had improved. The hospital downgraded Gold and Wright to fair, and Kannaday to serious. A nurse at the hospital said no estimated time of discharge from the hospitals for the women had been determined.
All of the women were 2004 graduates of Sumner Academy in Kansas City, Kan.
Funeral services for Hoyt were held July 17 at Chapel Hill Cemetery, in Kansas City, Kan. Hoyt, who had recently finished her first year at the University, majored in English.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway released a statement on June 14, calling Hoyt's death "a tragic loss," and said that "our thoughts and prayers are with the injured."

Mass street prepares for annual sale
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
For the last two weeks, and two weeks out of every year for the past 10 years, Chris Cox, owner of Shark's Surf Shop, 813 Massachusetts St., has been preparing for the annual downtown sidewalk sale.
The employees have to start early so they can decide what to pull for the bazaar-style sale, Cox said.
The sidewalk sale will begin July 21 marking the 34th annual sidewalk sale, which began in the early 1970s.
Store and restaurant owners throughout the downtown area hope to see a spike in patronage, said Jason Horowitz, bar and restaurant manager for The Jayhawker, 701 Massachusetts St.
"I think people gear up for it." Horowitz said. "Not only the retailers but the general public as well."
The public does come out, Shark's Surf Shop will see a 10-fold spike in customers. Cox said.
Even Horowitz, who said he had been manager at The Jayhawker for only three weeks and would be working his first sidewalk sale, said he expected a bump in patrons.
more people. Shark's, on an average day, staffs four to six people, but during the sidewalk sale the store will employ 10 to 12 people each day.
Both establishments will have to staff
The Jayhawker will have six to seven people working throughout breakfast and lunch, doubling the average breakfast shift and adding a couple more to the lunch shift, Horowitz said.
Although The Jayhawker will staff more people, the turnout for the establishment depends upon other factors as well. The temperature has a lot to do with the number of patrons, Horowitz said. More patrons come in when the temperature is relatively mild as compared with a very hot day, he said.
Revenues vary from business to business, but Cox said the shop made a little more but really used the sidewalk sale to clean out its inventory. Because the shop can clean out much of its inventory and the patrons enjoy the sales, Cox said he would like to see the sidewalk sale become a biannual sale.
"I think they should do it twice a year," Cox said. "To coincide with summer trends and winter trends."

TRAFFIC AND PARKING
ask force seeks solution to campus congestion
By LIZ NARTOWICZ
lnartowicz@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
A University of Kansas task force is investigating several options to decrease traffic and parking congestion on campus.
The task force, comprising of students, staff, faculty and city officials, is considering collaboration between KU on Wheels and Lawrence Public Transit, among other options.
After receiving a recommendation from a recent parking study, David Shulenburger, executive vice chancellor and provost, appointed the task force in May to research possibilities to combat the congestion.
One problem the task force is zeroing in on is the expansion of West Campus. Danny Kaiser, assistant dean of students and chairman of the task force, said campus congestion would increase because more students and staff would have to commute from the main campus to West Campus.
Kaiser said it was important to begin exploring ways to manage the congestion before it increased, because implementing modifications or a new system would take at least two years.
Kaiser said the task force was in the preliminary stages of adapting KU on Wheels and was concentrating on reviewing transit systems in other college cities. The task force is examining five universities, including Iowa State, which recently merged its campus bus system with the community's.
The task force will also consider merging KU on Wheels with Lawrence Public Transit, Kaiser said. He said it was not the only possibility the task force was considering.
Blake Huff, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said there were both benefits and setbacks to merging with Lawrence Public Transit. Benefits would include increased efficiency, lack of duplicating routes and receiving federal funding, Huff said.
Lawrence Public Transit is federally funded, whereas KU on Wheels is sustained solely by student fees. If the two systems merged, the cost for students to ride the bus could decrease, Huff said.
He said a long-term goal for the task force was to have KU on Wheels be free to students, regardless of a merger.
If KU on Wheels were to merge with Lawrence Public Transit, the University would have to upgrade all of the University's busses. In order to receive federal funding, the University's busses must be in agreement with The Americans with Disabilities Act, Kaiser said. Currently, KU's busses are not ADA-approved.
As an alternative, the task force will evaluate the possibility of collaborating with Lawrence Public Transit. Through collaboration, KU on Wheels may be able to receive some federal funding while remaining a separate system. This option would allow the University to keep its unique position of having a student-run transportation system.
"Students have complete control over the routes right now," Huff said. "They decide what is needed."
Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager, said he thought students would not want to give up their control. He said the fact that the two systems focused on two different populations might be an issue the task force would need to face.
Kaiser said he expected the task force to select a model and present it to the parking commission by the end of August.

At approximately 10 a.m. July 19, students and faculty in Wescoe Hall had to evacuate because of a water pressure fluctuation that set off the building's fire alarm. The evacuation caused the students and teachers to remain outside the building for about 35 to 40 minutes before local firefighters gave them permission to re-enter the building.

Many students were relieved that the evacuation changed their daily school routines, including some of the Spanish classes held in Wescoe Hall that were scheduled to have exams during the time of the evacuation.

SUPREME COURT
Bush names Supreme Court nominee
BY DEB RIECHANN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Bush chose federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts Jr. for a seat on the Supreme Court July 19, delighting Republicans while unsettling some Democrats with the selection of a young jurist with impeccable conservative credentials.
Roberts, 50, would succeed retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who has long been a swing vote on a court divided narrowly on issues such as abortion, affirmative action, states' rights and the death penalty.
The Harvard-educated Roberts learned of his selection in a lunchtime phone call from the president, according to administration officials. White House aides arranged for a prime time formal announcement as they sought the widest possible audience for a president making his first pick to the court — and the nation's first in more than a decade.
Initial reaction from Republicans was strongly in favor of Roberts. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama called him a "fabulous
"The president has chosen someone with suitable legal credentials,but that is not the end of our inquiry."
Harry Reid Senate minority leader
nominee" and predicted that if confirmed, he would "bring a nonpolitical approach to judging."
Democratic reaction was more measured, but initially at least, offered no hint of a filibuster. "The president has chosen someone with suitable legal credentials, but that is not the end of our inquiry," said Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada. Referring to planned hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee, Reid said, "I will not prejudice this nomination. I look forward to learning more about Judge Roberts."
Bush has said he wants his
pick confirmed and seated on the bench by the time the court convenes for its new term in October. Hearings are likely in late August or early September.
Roberts has already won Senate confirmation once before he was approved in 2003 when the president named him to his current post on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Advocacy groups on the right say that Roberts, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., who graduated with honors from Harvard Law School in 1979, is a bright judge with strong conservative credentials he burnished in the administrations of former Presidents Bush and Reagan. While he has been a federal judge for just a little more than two years, legal experts say that whatever experience he lacks on the bench is offset by his many years arguing cases before the Supreme Court.
Liberal groups, however, say Roberts has taken positions in cases involving free speech and religious liberty that endanger those rights. Abortion rights groups allege that Roberts, while
deputy solicitor general during the former Bush's administration, was hostile to women's reproductive freedom and cite a brief he co-wrote in 1990 that suggested the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 high court decision that legalized abortion.
In his defense, Roberts told senators during his 2003 confirmation hearing that he would be guided by legal precedent.
Advocacy groups on the left and the right already are gearing up for a fierce lobbying campaign in advertisements on television, radio, newspapers and the Internet. The battle is expected to cost tens of millions of dollars in spending by private groups.
While he doesn't have national name recognition, Roberts is a Washington insider who has worked over the years at the White House, Justice Department and in private practice.
Roberts was one of five prospective nominees whom Bush met with between July 14 and July 16, according to a senior administration official who provided details of the selection.

Lawrence Fire and Medical is adding another fire station to the community in order to combat lagging response times.
The desired fire response time for Lawrence is less than six minutes, said Mark Bradford, deputy chief of the department. Currently, the department meets this time for 85 percent of its calls within the city. Bradford said the department's goal was 90 percent.
To reach this goal the department began building a new station, Station 5, at 1911 Stewart Ave., in March.
Bradford said this location would shorten response time for the University and surrounding areas.
"The amount hasn't been identified yet, but obviously it will improve time," Bradford said.
The University now relies on Station 1, 746 Kentucky St., or Station 4, 2819 Stonebarn Terrace., for response and assistance.
POLITICS
The Kansas University Endowment Association provided the four acres of land for Station 5 under the conditions that Station 5 house a hazardous materials unit and ladder truck when completed, Bradford said.
Within the deal between the
Endowment Association and the department, the department must pay $1 a year for the land indefinitely.
"It's a legal way of giving us the land for nothing," Bradford said.
As part of the KU area, Station 5 will blend in with the other buildings, Bradford said. Sabatini and Associates designed
the single-story, 23,843 square foot station to do so. Bradford said the $5.4 million station was paid through municipal bonds split between Lawrence and Douglas County.
Bradford said completion of Station 5 is expected on March 1,2006.

Wasps plague Strong Hall
Paper wasps have become familiar sights at administration building
BY PATRICK ROSS editor@kansan.com SPECIAL TO THE KANSAN
Expansive construction, longer, laid-back classes and high temperatures are to be expected on campus during the summer. Something else students and staff should expect during the summer - at least if they have to enter Strong Hall - is the everpresent paper wasp.
Paper wasps nest in the eaves of Strong Hall in droves and sometimes the wasps wander into the building and get trapped, disrupting the office or classroom.
"We used to have one who came around so often we named it 'Rover'," said Molly Tucker, Prairie Village senior. Tucker is a student assistant in New Student Orientation, 213 Strong Hall.
Paper wasps are social insects, according to James Stephen Ashe, professor of entomology and senior curator the Natural History Museum. Ashe said they are aggressive.
"They are major predators, controlling the population of the insects they eat." Ashe said.
He said paper wasps eat caterpillars almost exclusively and only the female wasps have stingers.
The wasps tend to nest in the eaves of buildings, and sometimes in bushes, and have nests that look like upside-down umbrellas marked with many holes. Each nest of paper wasps has a queen who nurtures her larvae
in the nest. Other females serve as ranging workers who search for pollen to eat and caterpillars to feed the larvae.
"There's a whole nest of them outside my window and they fly around it all the time," said Tammara Durham, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, 156 Strong Hall. "There's one at the southwest door every morning at 7:30 and he'll say 'hi' to you."
The wasps come every year, according to Hollyce Morris, office manager for New Student Orientation. She said she has seen a few wasps in the office every year, but more now that the office has moved from the first floor to the second floor.
Durham said she would call Facilities Operations if there was an infestation, but that was not usually necessary.
Shannon Draper, senior administrative assistant for the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center, said if it's just one wasp, a shoe works.
Morris said she had called Facilities Operations about the wasps, but had not heard back.
Mike Lang, Landscape Manager for Facilities Operations, said his staff deals with outside insect problems. But he said the paper wasps weren't a concern.
"We usually leave them alone unless there's a problem," Lang said.

LECTURES
New lecture series premiering this summer at Dole Institute
The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, 704 W.12th St.,will try a new lecture series this summer said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute. The summer lectures will serve as a test market for the Dole Institute.The possibility of future summer lectures could depend on the attendance for this series.
The summer lecture series will begin at the Dole Institute on July 21.
The three-part lecture series will be the first held at the Dole Institute during the summer semester.
"The goal of this series is to help accomplish our mission of encouraging civic and political participation. These speakers
will tell stories that reflect that mission," said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute.
Hal Wert, author of "Hoover. The Fishing President," is the first speaker of the summer. Wert's book focuses on the human aspect of Herbert Hoover.
The second speaker of the summer is Craig Shirley. He wrote "Reagan's Revolution," which looks at the 1976 presidential campaign of Reagan. Shirley will speak on July 28.
Donna Moreau rounds out the speakers on Aug. 4, with a discussion of her book "Waiting Wives." The book is about families of U.S. soldiers in Vietnam who lived on military bases while the soldiers fought.
Lacy said the Dole Institute did not choose these speakers for a specific theme, but were chosen for their differences. He said the variety of topics could draw all types of people.
The summer lectures will be held in the Simons Media Room at the Dole Institute with chairs set up in a semi-circular fashion to encourage an open discussion.
All of the lectures will be held at 7:30 p.m. and will feature question and answer sessions After the lectures, the authors will sign copies of their books The lectures are free and open to the public.

TRIAL
Eric Rudolph sentenced to serve two life terms; defends use of deadly force to end abortion
BY JAY REEVES THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — An unrepentant Eric Rudolph declared July 18 that abortion must be fought with "deadly force" as a judge sentenced him to life in prison for setting off a remote-controlled bomb at an abortion clinic that killed an off-duty police officer and maimed a nurse.
of the innocents."
"Children are disposed of at will," the 38-year-old Rudolph said, jabbing the air in a speech that echoed a rambling manifesto he issued in April when he pleaded guilty to four bombings in all, including the blast at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. "The state is no longer the protector
Rudolph's fiery statement came as his victims confronted him in court, branding the antiabortion extremist a cowardly "monster" and recalling how their lives were devastated by the 1998 clinic bombing in Birmingham.
"It gives me great delight to know you are going to spend the rest of your life sitting in an 8-by-12 box," said the clinic's director, Diane Derzis.
Under a plea bargain that spared him a death sentence, Rudolph received two life sentences without parole for the Birmingham bombing.
Rudolph spent more than five years on the run in the North Carolina wilderness,
employing the survivalist techniques he learned as a soldier. He was captured in 2003 while scavenging for food behind a grocery store.

JAYHAWK PROPERTY MANAGEMENT has you covered.
When it was his turn to speak July 18, Rudolph angrily lashed out at abortion and the Birmingham clinic.
"What they did was participate in the murder of 50 children a week," he said. "Abortion is murder and because it is murder I believe deadly force is needed to stop it."
Rudolph faces sentencing Aug. 22 in Atlanta for the Olympic bombing, which killed one woman and injured more than 100 other people, and for 1997 bombings at an abortion clinic and a gay bar in Atlanta.

The organization honored senior design students, Jake Steele and Bryan Hale, with their annual Omni Awards. A luncheon was held July 19 to honor the two students.
Kuhn and Wittenborn Advertising hosted the luncheon to celebrate a partnership between itself, Coterie Theatre and KU fine arts students that has led to awardwinning marketing material for the Coterie Theatre in Kansas City, Mo. While the collaboration benefits the Coterie Theatre, it also gives the students an opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience.
Steele said.
Steele said it offered real world experience.
Steele, winner of the bronze Omni award for his Jekyll and Hyde poster he made during the class, said the class provided him with a great learning experience.
Hale did not attend the luncheon, but won the Gold Omni for his Stinky Cheese Man posters.

"It was kind of a crash course on working with a client for the first time and it taught us how to work quickly and efficiently."
Whitey Kuhn, CEO and president of Kuhn and Wittenborn Advertising, began the partnership between his agency and Coterie Theatre in 1999. Coterie Theatre is a non-profit organization children's theatre. Kuhn graduated from the KU School of Fine Arts in 1971 and said he had always wished for an opportunity like this to be available to him when he was in school.

"In 2002 I got the idea to set up a collaboration with Coterie, ourselves and KU because we had an annual project ideal for this situation," Kuhn said.
Senior design students Jake Steele and Bryan Hale won awards from the Kansas City Ad Club for their posters for Kansas City's Coterie Theatre.
Kuhn and Wittenborn Advertising approached the School of Fine Arts and Coterie Theatre and both were excited about it.
The students selected for the class get the opportunity to sit down with Kuhn and Wittenborn and discuss ideas for promotional posters for the Coterie Theatre plays. Over 30 students have participated in the last four years, Kuhn said.
Throughout the entire process, George Kauffman, design director at Kuhn and Wittenborn, makes trips to the University to meet with faculty and students. He helps students with ideas and once approved, they are designed and some of
the projects are entered in the Omni Award Show, Kuhn said.

First planet with three suns discovered
Two luminous dots float above a mountain range under the vast expanse of space. A large moon hangs in the upper left corner, its surface rugged and textured. The sky is dark, filled with stars and nebulous clouds.
An artist's conception of how the sky would look to an observer on a just-discovered giant planet in an unusual triple-star system in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan). The big star is only 4 million miles from the planet. The other two are almost 900 million miles away.

KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS

WASHINGTON — "Star Wars" fans know all about Tatooine, Luke Skywalker's home planet, whose two suns glare down on a vast desert.
Now comes an even more extraordinary, real-life sight: a newly discovered giant planet with three suns wheeling overhead.
The Jupiter-sized world is 149 light-years (about 879 trillion miles, just next door for astronomers) away from Earth in a triple-star system in the northern constellation Cygnus, or the Swan.
Maciej Konacki, a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, reported the sighting in this week's edition of the British scientific journal Nature.
"With three suns, the sky view must be out of this world, literally and figuratively," Konacki said.
About 150 extrasolar planets have been discovered in the past
10 years. This is the first time a planet has been found in a cluster of three star systems.
The main star of the trio, named HD 188753, is slightly larger than our sun. But it would look enormous to an observer on the planet, which whirls around its host star every three and a half days at a distance of about 4 million miles. Our sun, 93 million miles away, looks much smaller.
The temperature on the planet is estimated to be a scorching 1,340 degrees Fahrenheit, Konacki said in an e-mail.
He used the 32-foot-wide Keck One telescope on the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii to make his discovery. He detected tiny wobbles in the motion of HD 188753 as the gravity of its companions yanked it this way and that.
The discovery of the planet challenges current theories about the formation of giant planets around other stars.
Most astronomers think such planets form in huge disks of gas and dust around young stars.

As college students we face copious challenges. Not only are we required to pick and prepare for our future, but we also have to juggle outside factors such as work, family and friends. If we are lucky enough to catch a break and find some downtime, we're confronted with the harsh reality of a low-balanced bank account. So, what's a student working with meager means to do? Drink on the dime. Below is a day-by-day guide to specials around Lawrence to assist you in your consumption needs.
Pitcher Perfect Monday
Everyone deserves some relaxation after a manic Monday of class or work. Jet Lag Lounge, 610 Florida St., and Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St., offer the perfect retreats. For only four dollars you and your buds can split a pitcher at either establishment. Jct Lag provides a plentiful mix of people on Mondays, but there's never a wait for another pitcher or lines to the bathroom. Johnny's Tavern also possesses the down-home charm of Lawrence with a variety of patrons. Its best Monday appeal is its half-priced pizza after 5 p.m.
U-Call-It Tuesday
The Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., steps up the average $1.50 U-call-it specials by include premium liquors. It's hard to beat Crown and Coke. Besides the special, The Jazzhaus serves as a safe first date. If the candlelit, relaxed doesn't relieve your jitters, the savi

O.D. Thursday
Thursday reigns as king in the mass consumption category, with almost all establishments contending to be the ultimate dealmakers. Leaders among these bar battles are Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., and The Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. 6th St. Louise's, with its lack of lighting and $1.75 domestic schooners, is the perfect place to put on your beer goggles and pull a coyote ugly. (For those uneducated, a coyote ugly is when you wake up the next morning with someone so hideous you'd rather gnaw off your arm than risk waking them up.) Besides the hook-up value, Louise's offers a spacious place to mingle either inside or outside with its heated smoking area. Another gold mine of goods is the Ranch. Here you can put $3 premium u-call-its and $1.50 Jagerbombs down your gullet while running into at least three buddies from high school.

ADVICE
KU offers variety of sports clubs
Each week, Mr. College Answer Person offers wisdom and advice to those seeking the "inside word" on the college experience. Submit your questions to mistercollege@kansan.com.
Dear Mr. College Answer Person,
What other sports are popular around here besides basketball and how do I sign up and get involved with teams and clubs at KU?
Andy Spalding, St. Louis freshman
The two primary ways to participate in recreational sports at the University of Kansas are through intramurals and sports clubs. In intramural sports KU students compete against other KU students right here in Lawrence, but in sports clubs, members generally travel and compete against other universities. Some sports clubs, such as martial arts clubs, are more oriented toward instruction and personal development within the sport.
Based on the number of participants, basketball is the most popular intramural sport. Softball and flag football are second and third in popularity, said Kurt Schooley, assistant director of recreation services. The University offers 28 different intramural sports, which are categorized as single, dual, or team sports. Dodgeball will be a new addition to the list this fall.
Almost all intramural sports are free of charge; you simply need to form your team and sign up. Golf and bowling are the exceptions. Because they use off-campus facilities, a modest registration fee is required. Schooley said many students consulted with their residence hall director or resident assistant to organize teams on their floors.
He said another good way to find a team was to just show up to the games — often teams are in need of a couple extra players.
To sign up your team you can either register online at recreation.ku.edu or in person at the Student Recreation Fitness Center, 1740 Watkins Center Drive. Registration will start during the first week of school.
During Hawk Week, the week before classes start, the clubs will set up booths on the lawn of Strong Hall to offer information and recruit members.
Team sports sign up is on the bulletin boards near the gymnasium and raquetball courts. To sign up for individual and dual sports, ask for a registration form at the welcome center at the Rec Center, where you swipe your KUID.
In order to practice with a club, all you have to do is sign a waiver, but regular members are required to pay dues. Kroner said that many clubs fundraise to deflect costs and also have access to equipment you can check out and use for free.
You can also find job openings for intramural officiating on the Web site, said Justin Sloop, intramurals program manager. He said that students were allowed to officiate and participate in the same season.
A good resource for information about clubs and intramurals is at recreation. ku.edu. You can visit this Web site to find calendars and dates, rules for the sports and a contacts page with club officers and dues info. Here you can also find links to the sports clubs' own Web sites.

SLEEP
Power naps can combat sleepiness
BY ERIN DROSTE
edroste@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
You're sitting there in class, trying your best to pay attention to your professor drone on at the end of a full day of classes, and your eyes start to close. You nearly get whiplash as you're startled awake when your chin hits your chest.
This is not an uncommon scenario for college students who don't get enough sleep at night. According to Steven Hull, medical director of somniTech Inc. and director of sleep disorders research for Vince and Associates clinical research in Overland Park, college students should get eight to ten hours of sleep each night.
For those students who aren't quite meeting the minimum requirement, power naps can help. Bob Whitman, director of the KU Medical Center, said taking a short nap not only makes up for not getting enough sleep at night, but can help increase productivity.
"Studies have.
proven that naps can help you learn better," he said. "After a nap, people become more alert and can concentrate better."
Whitman said power naps shouldn't be longer than 20 to 30 minutes so that you do not enter the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of the sleep cycle.
"If you wake up from a deep sleep you feel groggy," he said. "If you take shorter naps you wake up with a refreshed feeling."
If you're having problems napping, Hull said you probably just aren't tired enough. He said caffeine and other stimulants can keep you from getting in a quick nap. Hull said naps can be beneficial, but you should try to get enough sleep at night so that you don't need to nap during the day.
Not getting enough sleep at night can have both short and long term effects Hull said, including an increased risk of heart attack and symptoms that can mimic depression.
"It can cause everything from excessive daytime sleep to headaches, concentration problems and mood swings," he said.
Hull said brief naps don't eliminate cumulative sleep debt. If you can't get to sleep early, you should shift your sleep schedule to wake up later to make sure you get enough sleep, he said.
Dawn Filkins, Lawrence junior, said she took at least 3 to 4 naps a week.

NAPPING TIPS
Set aside time in a quiet room.
♦ Don't nap for more than 20 to 30 minutes.
- If you're napping for longer than 30 minutes, make sure you have at least a two-hour nap.
Don't nap in your bed, it may tempt you to sleep longer.
- Sources: Whitman, Hull.

"Naps are an awesome thing," she said. "They're a good way to get refreshed and ready for the day."
"Understand that when the alarm goes off, you get out of bed," he said.
If you are going to take naps during the day, Whitman said you should be sure to set a timer or ask a friend to wake you up.
Hull said a little siesta is most effective during the late afternoon.
"The Mexicans got it right," he said. "Your body slows down between two and four in the afternoon."
Naps have proven to be so beneficial that Hull said transmeridian pilots are encouraged to take them.
Filkins said naps are definitely not just for kindergartners.
"It usually takes a little while to get awake and going," she said. "But they're always refreshing."

Violence rages in Iraq
BY QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Gunmen killed at least 24 police, soldiers and government workers in Iraq July 18, and an Iraqi general said about 50 suspected insurgents were captured in the first days of a new security operation in Baghdad.
The latest bloodshed occurred in a series of small-scale ambushes and shootings, as Baghdad received a respite July 18 from the wave of suicide bombings that killed 22 people in the embattled capital the day before.
A car bomb targeted U.S. and Iraqi troops, however, in Rawah, 175 miles northwest of Baghdad, witnesses reported. At least one person, believed to have been a civilian, was killed, the witnesses said.
The deadliest attack was in the western Baghdad district of Khadra, where eight policemen died in a gun battle with insurgents, police said. It was unclear if the insurgents suffered casualties.
Gunmen also killed at least
five other police officers, including a colonel, in attacks around the capital, police and hospital officials said. Three civilian government employees were killed in separate ambushes in Baghdad, police reported.
A policeman died in a shootout between insurgents and security forces just north of Baghdad in Taji, police said. And in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, gunmen killed a police colonel, an Interior Ministry official and three Iraqi soldiers in a series of attacks.
In the north, gunmen killed two Iraqi soldiers in eastern Mosul and assassinated Abdul-Ghani al-Naimi, whose brother is a member of the Iraqi parliament.
Baghdad. An Iraqi general, who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons, told The Associated Press that Operation Thunder began last week on the west side of the Tigris River, which divides the city.
Also July 18, the military said a U.S. Marine died in a non-hostile incident on Sunday at a U.S. base in Ramadi. At least 1,766 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
He said about 50 suspected insurgents, including two Syrians, were captured in the opening days of the operation, which will be expanded over the next few days.
The violence came as Iraqi forces reported a new offensive against the insurgents in
On a visit to Berlin, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Gen. Richard Myers, said a recent spike in suicide bombings wouldn't derail the drafting of a constitution or progress toward democracy. But he warned of more violence ahead.
"Every major milestone has been met. That will continue, in my belief, to happen," Myers said.
Security has deteriorated steadily since Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari announced his Shiite-dominated government April 28. Most of the insurgents are Sunni Arabs, who enjoyed considerable prestige in Iraq during the rule of Saddam Hussein.

Acura Integra sits atop theft list
BY DEE-ANN DURBIN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — If you think your Acura Integra is fast and gorgeous, you aren't alone. The car model was one of the most-stolen last year — likely the target of street racers.
According to a report released Tuesday, the 1999 Acura Integra coupe was the single most swiped vehicle in 2004, while Integras from other model years weren't far behind.
The list was released by Chicago-based CCC Information Services Inc., an insurance industry tracker of theft and vehicle damage. It compares loss claims to the total number of registered vehicles.
The 2002 BMW M Roadster was No. 2 on the list and the 1998 Acura Integra was third. Other vehicles in the top 10 include the 1991 GMC V2500, the 2002 Audi S4 and the 2004 Mercury Marauder.
Jeanene O'Brien, CCC's director of marketing services, said an upsurge in street racing may be responsible for the appearance of the Integra and other fast cars
on the list.
"We can never say for sure why a car's stolen, but we can look at the data and make some interesting assumptions," O'Brien said.
She said the Integra, which was replaced by the RSX in the 2002 model year, also may be targeted for its parts. Acura is Honda Motor Co.'s luxury brand, and the Integra engine can fit into other Hondas, for example.
O'Brien said it's difficult to overstate the value of vehicle parts. A 2000 Honda Accord LX cost $22,365 when it was new but would cost $68,065 if it were built entirely from Honda replacement parts, she said.
Pop culture's love affair with vehicles like the Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicle also is driving up thefts because of perceived value, O'Brien said. A used Escalade can still command up to $49,000, she said. Limitedproduction vehicles like the Mercury Marauder — which was made for only two years — also are targets.
have we had such insight into movie and music stars and their cars and homes, and that drives up preferences," O'Brien said.
"Never before in our society
Acura spokesman Mike Spencer said Acura was aware of the theft problem and made several changes to the Integra during its lifetime, including adding more secure locks and immobilizer systems and installing door panels that were harder for thieves to break into.
"Unfortunately, if somebody really wants to steal your car, they're going to steal it," Spencer said. "That's pretty hard to avoid."
The average age of a stolen vehicle in 2004 was 6.6 years, down slightly from 2003. The average age of all registered vehicles on the road in 2004 was 7.9 years.
Vehicles from the 1997 model year were most susceptible to theft last year, followed by model years 1996, 1999, 1995 and 1998. Acura was the moststolen brand, followed by Hummer, Land Rover, Daewoo and Honda.
CCC, which provides software and information services to insurers and repair shops, compiles its report with loss claims from more than 350 property and casualty insurers in North America. The annual report is

Law cheats with the nanny
LONDON - Jude Law publicly apologized to his actress-fiancee, Sienna Miller, expressing his "sincere regret" over an affair with one of his children's nanny.
"Following the reports in today's papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us," the 32-year-old actor said in a statement Monday to the British Press Association.
"I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused," said Law, star of "Alfie" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" films.
The nanny was identified in the newspaper reports as Daisy Wright, 26.
Law, who divorced fashion designer-actress Sadie Frost in October 2003 after a six-year marriage and three children, had no further comment.
had no comment on Law's statement.
The publicity firm that represents Miller told The Associated Press the 23-year-old actress
When Miller arrived at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End on July 18, where she was performing in "As You Like It," it appeared she wasn't wearing her engagement ring, the Press Association reported.
Miller was Law's co-star in the remake of "Alfie." The couple became engaged on Christmas Day 2004.
Earlier this year, Miller said she and Law were in no hurry to tie the knot. "I'm not going to get married this year," she was quoted as telling reporters in February. "There's no rush, we're just happy to be engaged."
Law earned Oscar nominations for his roles in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain." His screen credits also include "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow," "Closer" and "The Aviator," all released in 2004.

15 minutes of sex tape sparks suit
LOS ANGELES - Actor Colin Farrell is suing a woman for allegedly trying to distribute and profit from a sex tape he says the two recorded with the agreement it would never be made public.
The lawsuit filed July 18 seeks monetary damages as well as a temporary restraining order and injunction prohibiting the sale or other use of the videotape.
Farrell, 29, accuses Nicole Narain of trying to distribute the tape through an intermediary. The two had an intimate relationship 2 1/2 years ago and both agreed that the 15-minute tape that shows the couple having sex would be jointly owned by them and would remain private, according to the suit.
Narain could not be reached for comment. A call to a phone number listed for her showed the number had been disconnected.
A message left for Farrell's attorney was not immediately returned July 18.
The lawsuit also accused the 31-year-old woman of working with the owner of an Internet pornography business and contacting the news media about the tape.
The lawsuit said the release of the videotape would irreparably harm Farrell's reputation and career.
Farrell, who has starred in "S.W.A.T." and "Alexander," and is slated to appear in "The New World" and "Miami Vice," has been named one of the sexiest men alive by People magazine.
He has a son with model Kim Bordenave.

Pitt has been diagnosed with a mild case of viral meningitis and was released from the hospital on July 13, his publicist said. Pitt, 41, had checked himself into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on July 11 complaining of flu-like symptoms. He went home July 13, publicist Cindy Guagenti said. "The actor is at home and doing well," she said in a statement.

Steve Sack/STAR TRIBUNE
Editor's note: Mark Bradshaw is a 2001 KU graduate now living in London and attending graduate school. His neighborhood was one of many affected by the July 7 transit bombings in London. This is his response to the events and his recounting of the reactions of students in London.
London mornings are always noisy. I live in the Bloomsbury neighborhood of central London, a crossroads for tourists, office workers, and students like me. In July, it's light by five o'clock, and one begins to hear the steady rumble of rolling luggage on its way toward the Tube or a train and on its way to an airport. Cleaners and street sweepers start to work soon after, followed by delivery trucks, and construction crews fire up the jackhammers by eight o'clock.
Those are the sounds of a normal day. Today was different, louder than most. The city's morning chorus was interrupted by a great loud detonation. It sounded like thunder, friends tell me. We live on Mecklenburgh Square, about six blocks from Tavistock Square, where one of London's signature red, double-decker buses had its top blown off during rush hour.
I don't remember hearing the explosion myself, maybe because my room faces in the wrong direction or maybe because I was still half-asleep, a sluggish student still preparing to meet his day in the library stacks. I
took notice a few minutes later, though, when the sirens started, several different wails, all keening close at hand. "Good god," I thought to myself, "what's going on?" There are several hospitals and a police station nearby, but their various calls are normally distinct; this was a general onslaught of alarm.
I live in a residential college that houses several hundred graduate students who attend more than a dozen London universities. It's a neighborhood within the neighborhood, filled with scores of familiar faces from strange lands as well as some places closer to home. When my telephone began ringing in the moments following the morning's first unwelcome noises, it was a friend within the college, a young newlywed from Texas, who broke the story for me: "Did you hear?" she asked. "There are bombs in the Underground. Russell Square and King's Cross have both blown up."
The London Underground is the city's subway system, a network of trains that connects to airports, commuter trains, light rail, and a fleet of buses. It's the primary means by which people get to and from work each day, it runs right at its capacity during peak times, and the morning rush sees it at its busiest. To attack it is to target a broad swath of people. Its passengers include bankers and busboys, suit-wearers and sightseers. The two Underground stations my friend named weren't the only ones
hit, but they are the two closest to us, just blocks from our college. Close to home.
I tried to pull up the BBC Web site. It was slowed to a crawl, of course. I picked up the phone to dial outside the college. It was in a fugue, not surprisingly. I remember how these things go. After firing off a quick e-mail to tell my family I was fine, I grabbed a sweater – yes, in England, even in July – and I decamped to my Texan friends' apartment just around the block. They have cable news and an Internet phone to the U.S., both useful things on a day of surprises.
We monitored reports and made calls, corralling facts and accounting for friends. As America woke up, we called home to let people know that we were awake, too.
One friend had his German class cancelled. Another was detained for hours in the basement of a nearby salon while police inspected a parked van they suspected of concealing another bomb. I watched as the physicians - all here to study, not normally to practice - headed out to local hospitals, to aid however they could with casualties.
And that's how this morning's unwelcome noises have affected the people I see. I know there are dozens dead, but even being so near by, I only see them through the television's eye. Many more are maimed or wounded, lightly or severely, and still more have been given good reason to be afraid. But I think that sort of fear turns quickly to anger and resolve. From my time in Washington following September 11, I don't expect the life of the city to snap back to routine overnight, but I'm confident that London, just like my friend the future doctor, will press right on.

Perkins hires media rep for two sports
BY ASHELY MICHAELS amichaels@kansan.com KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Brandon Holtz has been named assistant media relations director for soccer and baseball at the University of Kansas.
Holtz was an intern for the Bluejays' media relations department at Creighton University. He was the main contact for soccer and baseball at the university for the 2004-05 season, which is what he will cover at the University of Kansas.
The position was previously a paid, undergraduate internship and each year a new person was hired to fill the spot. Last year Adam Quisenberry was the sports information director intern for the two sports. This year the media relations department made the decision to make it a full-time position.
"We felt we needed consistency in that department as opposed to a different face each year." Theisen said.
With the recent success of the soccer and baseball teams, there is a need for a full-time position, said Chris Theisen, assistant athletics director for media relations.
The Kansas soccer team was the Big 12 champion and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in the 2004 season. The baseball team won more than 30 games last season and made it to the Big 12 tournament for the second time in three seasons under head coach Ritch Price.
Since his arrival at Kansas in 2003, Lew Perkins, athletics director, has added more than 10 new positions to the Athletics Department.
Theisen said Perkins is implementing his own system changes.
"Over time you see where you need to do things," he said. "I think that's just part of it, part of the way he manages, and you can't do it instantly, so it's being done over time."
Head women's soccer coach Mark Francis said he was excited about the new face in the athletics departments because it would help bring in new players.
"Brandon is going to help us immensely, especially in recruiting," Francis said. "He will help get the word out about our program and our accomplishments. Hopefully there will be more media coverage and more interesting feature stories. Right now he is working on expanding the media guide and making it better, which will be good for the recruiting process."
Francis considers the permanence of his new position an acknowledgement of the success of the soccer and baseball teams.
"It's a commitment from the Athletics Department and Lew Perkins that they recognize the success we've had, and baseball, too," Francis said.

Gordon, Reid named preseason all Big 12
Members of the Big 12 media were kind to Kansas cornerback Charles Gordon and linebacker Nick Reid. Both were named to the media's pre-season all Big 12 first team.
Gordon and Reid were both first-team media selections at the conclusion of last season. Gordon led the conference in interceptions with seven and Reid was second in the conference in tackles with 109. Reid is the leading returning tackler in the conference.
The media also named Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson pre-season offensive player of the year and named Texas defensive lineman Rodrigue Wright pre-season defensive player of the year.
Gordon and Reid will anchor a Kansas defense that improved drastically over the course of last season.
The Jayhawks will open their season Sept. 3 against Florida Atlantic at Memorial Stadium.

Armstrong cherishes last legs of his Tour

Overall leader, six-time Tour de France winner and leader of the Discovery Channel cycling team, Lance Armstrong of Austin, Texas, waves from the podium after the 16th stage of the Tour de France cycling race between Mourenx and Pau, southwestern France, July 19.
BY JOHN LEICESTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PAU, France — As Lance Armstrong closes in on a seventh straight Tour de France title, the high mountains safely behind him and the finishing straight almost in sight, just one thing is missing: a daily stage win in his final Tour.
In all of his record six victories, Armstrong always won at least one individual stage. Not this year. But he's hoping to set that straight later this week, in the time trial before the final ride into Paris on Sunday.
Even Armstrong, who doesn't like to tempt fate by claiming a win in advance, acknowledges that "the odds are good" that he'll have the winner's yellow jersey — the famed maillot jaune — on his back when he retires from cycling at the end of the race.
Completing the last of three days in the Pyrenees on July 19 left just a mostly flat stage, two medium mountain stages and the time trial for Armstrong to negotiate before the final victorious pedal up Paris' Champs-Elysees.
Armstrong's main rivals tried testing him on two rigorous climbs during the
16th stage on July 19 from Mourenx to Pau. But he brushed off the challenges, easily matching their uphill accelerations to defend his comfortable lead.
"The amount of support is great this year," he said. "If there's 1 in 100 that are negative, don't dwell on that, think of the 99 that are positive, and remember this Tour, remember this last week, remember these last days."
"It will never be like this again for me," he added. "I will never be in yellow again, and that's a special thing, so I need to cherish those moments."
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Missouri mourns, moves on
BY ALAN SCHER ZAGIER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — University of Missouri football coaches and players attended the funeral of Aaron O'Neal, 19, in his hometown of St. Louis on July 18. A day later, they were back at work, quietly resuming the summer drills that were suspended indefinitely after O'Neal's July 12 collapse on Faurot Field.
About 30 players attended the 7 a.m. voluntary workout, which was supervised by Missouri athletic trainers and conditioning specialists rather than football coaches, who are barred from such sessions under NCAA rules.
1
The session was closed to reporters, but players could be seen through the gates of Memorial
O'Neal
Stadium doing light stretches, full-field sprints and agility drills.
O'Neal's teammates — not Coach Gary Pinkel decided to quickly move ahead in preparation for the fall season, a team spokesman said. Fall practices officially begin in early August, with the first game in Kansas City on Sept. 3 against Arkansas State.
"It was the team's decision," said athletics spokesman Chad Moller. "They were really anxious to try to get back to somewhat of a normal routine. This is the first step."
Players approached after the morning workout declined comment, and Pinkel's office referred questions to Moller.
Also missing July 19 were any signs of O'Neal's death, including the flowers, sympathy cards, banners, autographed footballs and other remembrances left behind at a makeshift shrine at the stadium's front gate in the days after he died.
Moller said the items were removed to guard against theft or rain damage.

Updated policy protects privacy
University implements new password policy
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
To keep campus e-mail accounts secure from ever-evolving computer viruses and hackers, the University of Kansas has begun a new password policy across all campuses.
University students, faculty and employees will need to change their passwords by Sept. 15, said Jenny Mehmedovic, coordinator of information technologies policy and planning.
The University IT department has not had problems with security or privacy yet, said Alison Rose Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for KU informational services.
"This is the best practice," Lopez said. "It's proactive, not reactive."
The policy specifies requirements that new passwords must meet to keep the users' accounts secure.
An article released by the IT
department explained the new policy.
First, new passwords cannot include any part of the user's name, forward or backward. The password should also avoid personal information that can be found out with relative ease, such as family names.
The new password must include seven digits, must have at least one number and have both upper and lower case letters. It must also have at least one special character, such as % or * .
The University also recommends that people change their passwords once a semester to an entirely new password.
The password should also not be a series of numbers, letters or the keys that fall together on the keyboard, such as ASDFG.
The IT department does not want any passwords that are words listed in the dictionary.
Some allowable examples listed on www.security.ku.edu, are iL2eAwPb1, Ucd,yc7 or J,sA&am. Students, faculty
members and employees can find instructions to change their passwords on the site.
The release states that the University will also check passwords randomly and if it cracks or guesses the password, the user will be notified and told to come up with a new one.
Cracking happens when hackers use a program to crack, or gain access, to a password. The IT department's new policy is set up to help combat cracking, Mehmedovic said.
Mehmedovic said changing passwords was only one step of a multifaceted security plan. The IT department plans to implement new firewalls, antivirus software and intrusion detection software, Mehmedovic said.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
As three of her best friends lay in hospital beds in Wichita, Stephanie Hoyt's parents buried their daughter. Over 300 people attended the funeral of the University of Kansas freshman, her father, Lanny Hamp, said.
"The number of people there showed how many people she touched," Hamp said.
Hoyt and her friends, went to Texas "to see a little of the U.S." This was a last chance for Hoyt and her best friends to do something together, Hamp said.
On the way back the girls took the wrong on-ramp, sending them south instead of north. Once they realized the mistake, Stephanie went to cross two lanes to turn around, when they were struck by another vehicle.
The collision killed Stephanie instantly. Her three companions sustained serious injuries and were taken by amulance to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, where one is currently listed as fair and the other two have been released.
Hoyt was born in Olathe on Jan. 3, 1986. Her mother, Theresa, remarried when Hoyt was two, and Lanny and Theresa raised Hoyt in Kansas City, Kan.
Hamp described his daughter as the
"type of person that never needed the limelight, and someone willing to help other people."
Hamp said when Hoyt's mother decided to go back to school and get a degree in nursing. Hoyt took her mother's place in the home. She cooked, cleaned and tried to help her mother with the everyday things she could not do, Hamp said.
That work ethic also translated into her scholastic and professional lives, brought out her life, Hamp said.
She worked through high school and college at the Cracker Barrel and was paying her own way through college, Hamp said. She graduated from Sumner Academy with a 4.2 grade point average, and after a year at Drake University, Des Maines, Iowa, came to the University.
After declaring English as her major, Hoyt planned on attending law school, Hamp said.
Hoyt was one of five children and "she was the one who never gave me any trouble." Hamp said.
Hoyt is survived by her father, Lanny Hamp and her mother, Theresa Hamp. Other survivors are four brothers: Sgt. Lanny Hamp Jr., Fort Benning, Ga.; August Hamp, Camp Lejeune; Richard Allen Hoyt, of the home; and Kelly Hamp, of the home.

LOCAL BUSINESS
The Moon Bar is the same nightclub where former Kansas forward J.R. Giddens was involved in an altercation on May 19. The altercation resulted in Giddens getting stabbed in the right calf.
Local bar owner charged with illegal alcohol sales
Lawrence police officers closed down the Moon Bar, 821 Iowa St., after discovering Ron Ruiz, the owner, was selling alcohol without a liquor license last week.
Sgt. Dan Ward would not comment because the case had been handed over to the Alcohol Beverage Control of Topeka.The ABC could not be reached for comment.
— Ashley Michaels
"It has everything to do with J.R.," Ruiz said. "I feel that I am being profiled in a negative manner and KU alumni are influencing people to make sure that I have problems."
Ruiz said he thought his bar's recent problems were all directly related to the J.R. Giddens incident.

Staff works to digitize art
Employees are digitally recording the Spencer Museum's collection
THE BROOKLYN ART MUSEUM
BY ADAM LAND
aland@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
In a makeshift studio, on the 4th floor of Spencer Museum of Art, photographers and volunteers are digitizing the Spencer collection.
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
Official at the museum, located south of Strong Hall, decided to digitize its collection several years ago, said Sofia Galarza Liu, museum collection manager and database project co-manager.
Digitizing involves capturing images of the art and storing them in a computer. The reason for digitizing is that the museums collection is far too large to put on display,
Liu said. She said the museum wanted the digitized collection to be on the University of Kansas' digital library online. Eventually the museum wants to put the collection on the Internet, but Liu said there was not a set date for that project to begin.
Viewers and cataloguers will be able to search in the collection by artist/maker, date, physical subject (i.e. type of photo or painting) and material.
The process can be long and costly, more than $100,000 dollars, Liu said. To try and combat some of the cost, the museum applied for a $149,000 grant from the Institute of Museums and Library Services two years
ago, she said.
The museum's staff has captured and catalogued more than 8,000 items, Liu said.
When the staff began the digitization process they thought the museum contained approximately 25,000 items, said Bill Woodard, director of communications for the museum. But after they began capturing images they realized the museum contained about 26,000.
The main reason for digitizing the collection is not only to allow people to see more of the collection, but to capture fragile or decaying items, Liu said.
Certain items, such as photographs and textiles, can only be in the light for a certain amount of time without sustaining damage, Liu said.
Students and faculty will not have to wait for the process to be completely finished to view
The Spencer Museum collection is undergoing a digital makeover. All the items in the collection will be photographed and archived in an electronic database. Over 8,000 of the 26,000 items in the museum's collection have been added to the system.
photos online because the museum's staff will post at different times as they progress, Liu said. The University population will be able to view some of the recently captured photos this fall, Liu said.
The collection contains items ranging from paintings, photographs, prints, textiles and other types of art.

KU programs support dsabled
July marks the 15th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act's passage. According to the ADA Web site, the act ensures equal opportunity and civil rights to people with a broad range of disabilities. Similarly, the University's Disability Resources office provides a number of services to assist students with a broad range of disabilities throughout their time at KU.
Mary Ann Rasnak, director of KU's Disability Resources, said although the office has been at the University for seven years, the University provided services to disabled students beforehand.
"KU has a history of trying to meet the needs of people with disabilities before it was legislated," Rasnak said.
Rasnak said the Americans with Disabilities Act changed public perception of what constituted a disability.
"ADA and the public information surrounding that educated everyone about the invisible disabilities," she said.
The act defined a disabled individual as a person with a
physical or mental impairment that limited their activities, a person with a history or record of impairment, or a person who was perceived as having an impairment. Rasnak said the act had largely been a tool for public information.
She said it raised awareness about invisible disabilities such as psychological, medical and learning disabilities along with the more visible physical and mobility impairments.
Rasnak said the University had installed door openers and curb cuts to make campus more accessible to people with mobility issues. She said a special committee reviewed the plans for each new building on campus that was either built or remodeled to ensure accessibility and ADA compliance. Disability Resources distributes a map of campus that displays accessible entrances, restrooms and floors in each building on campus as well as a barrier-free route from Sunnyside Ave. to Jayhawk Blvd. Rasnak said mobility issues had been a problem on the University's hilly campus.
Program changes name, not function
Rasnak said her office served about 600 students.
Although the Sexual Assault Prevention & Education Program changed its name, it has not altered its services, said Kristen Abell, the program's coordinator.
— Nicoletta Niosi
Abell, who recently became the program's first full-time coordinator, said the name was changed to Sexual Violence Education & Support Services to better reflect the services it provided.
"We're more education than prevention," Abell said. "We teach people how to prevent sexual assault, but we don't actually prevent it."
University by providing presentations and information through out the year, but specifically during Hawk Week. Abell said this year she would present two lectures, one on dating in college and the other on self-defense.
The program is part of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and provides a variety of services for both men and women, Abell said. The program offers educational seminars on healthy relationships, personal safety and gender roles in society, she said.
"We focus on the positive aspects of relationships while preparing students for the negative." Abell said
Abell, a 1999 graduate in psychology and women's studies, said the program worked closely with the
Besides providing information, the program also offers support. Students can receive short-term counseling and be connected to off campus services through the program, Abell said.
The office for Sexual Violence Education & Support Services is on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union inside the Student Involvement and Leadership Center. People who need assistance or want to become involved can contact Abell by visiting the office or reaching her at 864-3552.

Doctoral student revives language
German.
Thanks to a KU doctoral student, on July 24 residents in two northeast Kansas counties could turn on their radios and receive their news in Low
Scott Seeger, a graduate student studying German, worked with KNDY 1570 AM. a Marysville radio station, to establish a Sunday broadcast in Low German in an effort to preserve the language in Marshall and Washington counties.
The first five-minute broadcast covered local sports, weather and news about the Low German Heritage Society, another program Seeger helped form. The broadcast, which aired at 12:25 p.m., went well said Bruce Dierking, KNDY president. Dierking said the time slot would help the program be well-received, because a lot of people listen at that time.
Dierking said the Low German Heritage Society started last summer after Seeger sparked the interest while interviewing older residents and speakers of Low German. Dierking said Seeger's interviews shed light on the fact that although the language survived in the older community, it was disappearing within the younger generations.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Discovery and seven astronauts blasted into orbit July 26 on America's first manned space shot since the 2003 Columbia disaster, ending a painful, 2 1/2-year shutdown devoted to making the shuttle less risky and NASA more safety-conscious.
At stake were not only the lives of the astronauts, but also America's pride in its technological prowess, the fate of the U.S. space program and the future of space exploration itself.
"Our long wait may be over. So on behalf of the many millions of people who believe so deeply in what we do, good luck, Godspeed — and have a little fun up there," launch director Mike Leinbach told the astronauts just before liftoff.
Space program employees and relatives of both the Discovery and Columbia crews watched nervously as the shuttle rose from its pad at 10:39
a. m., climbed into a hazy midsummer sky, skirted two decks of clouds and headed out over the ocean in the most scrutinized launch in NASA history. Two chase planes and more than 100 cameras documented the ascent from every possible angle to capture any sign of flying debris of the sort that doomed the last flight.
Some two hours later, after Discovery had settled into orbit, Discovery commander Eileen Collins radioed back: "We know that the folks back on the planet Earth are just feeling great right now, and our thanks to everybody for all the super work that's been done over the past 21/2 years to get us flying again."
Mission Control replied by promising to bring the astronauts home safely.
Video showed what appeared to be a large piece of debris flying off the external fuel tank two minutes into the flight. The object did not seem to hit the orbiter. Footage also showed what might have been at least two light-colored objects flying off Discovery as the shuttle cleared the launch pad.
Deputy shuttle program manager Wayne Hale raised the possibility that the light-colored objects were harmless pieces of paper that protect Discovery's thrusters before
launch. But he insisted it was too soon to say what the cameras may have picked up, and he gave assurances the multitude of images will be examined frame by frame in the
coming hours and days.
"No telling what might be there or what's not there — we hope nothing." he said.
The fuel gauge that thwarted a launch attempt two weeks ago worked properly before and during the liftoff, and the countdown was remarkably smooth. If the sensors had acted up before liftoff, the space agency had been prepared to bend its safety rules to get the shuttle flying.
A TV camera mounted on Discovery's giant orange external fuel tank provided an unprecedented view of the shuttle's entire climb to orbit in spectacular orange and blue, and showed the shuttle banking away and the empty tank being jettisoned back toward Earth to burn up in the atmosphere.
"I ask you all to take note of what you saw here today: the power and the majesty of launch, of course, but also the confidence and the professionalism, the sheer gall,
the pluckiness, the grittiness of this team that pulled this program out of the depths of despair 21/2 years ago and made it fly," NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said shortly after the launch.
Across the country, Americans watched the liftoff, cheering and applauding as it roared away from the launch pad. "I am very proud," said Airman First Class Daniel Tureac of New York City, who watched on a giant screen in Times Square. "I am part of the Air Force and this is the highest up you can go, being on a shuttle crew. This is very exciting."
In the hometown of Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi, firecrackers were popped and congratulatory cheers of "Banzai!" rang out.
During the 12-day mission, the astronauts will deliver supplies to the international space station and test new techniques for inspecting and patching the shuttle in orbit.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Kerri Henderson/KANSAN
As people relax during the spring and summer, they unknowingly make themselves more prone to theft.
Top: Leaving a bike unlocked allows it to be stolen easily without causing much suspicion. An easy prevention is to lock it with either a U-shaped steel lock or a sturdy cable lock.
"We do see more when the rather is nicer," said Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department "People leave their garage doors open and the windows down on their cars, so it's easier for people to take things."
Theft and burglary are the top two most common crimes that occur at the University of Kansas said Chris Keary, assistant chief for the KU Public Safety Office.
Right: Leaving a purse and other valuables visible in your car makes them an easy target despite if the car is locked and the windows are up. Keep these items with you whenever possible to ensure their protection.
The difference between theft and burglary is whether the thief has a legal right to be in that place, Keary said. He said theft was taking something from somewhere the theft was allowed to be, while burglary occurred where the theft had no legal basis or right to be.
"Thefts occur when and where the opportunity is presented," Keary said. "Generally when people don't watch their
items...people give others the opportunity to take things."
Keary said the best way to protect belongings was to use security devices and measures already on hand. Lock your doors, even when at home, watch your items and make sure to take them with you.
"Don't assume it will be there if you leave it," Keary said.
Ward said one had to be careful about keeping valuables out of sight.
"If you lock your car but leave a purse in plain view, people are more apt to break a window to get it and run the risk of being
seen and heard, because they know what is there," Ward said.
Victims of theft or burglary should always report it, Keary said.
"It's not their fault somebody took advantage of it - you should be mad about it," Keary said. "You should be mad that in this society, you have to watch your stuff."
If criminals are caught they can be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the items stolen. Anything
valued less than $1,000 would constitute a misdemeanor, anything valued more than $1,000 would be a felony, Keary said.
Filing a report does not guarantee that you'll get your property back. Keary said items were generally not recovered. He said students should record serial numbers and other important information from their valuables so they had it if it was stolen.

Biological Survey needs $500,000 for 160 acres
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The University of Kansas is raising money to buy about 160 acres to serve as a buffer between development and a piece of pristine prairie it already owns.
A private owner has offered to sell the 160 acres and the Kansas Biological Survey — a research and service unit of the University — is working to raise $500,000 to buy it. So far, the University has raised about $250,000, and the survey has bought 40 acres.
The land would become a nature park, with hiking trails, kiosks with wildlife and botanical information and space for public programs to teach subjects such as land management and bird-watching.
"We want to create a greater awareness of research and a greater appreciation for our natural heritage," Jerry deNoyelles, said associate director of the Kansas Biological Survey.
The survey hopes to use additional money to buy the rest of the 160 acres and to build trails and displays.
"Some of the problems are pretty subtle, too. If there's suddenly a bunch of houses across the fence from the prairie, you have the introduction of nonnative species..."
Scott Campbell Research associate at the Kansas Biological Survey
The survey also hopes that by buying the 160 acres, it can protect 10 acres it already owns called the Rockefeller prairie — land that deNoyelles calls "a little piece of history" because it has remained largely unchanged
since wagon trains crossed the prairie in the 1800s.
The Rockefeller prairie, with over 200 species of plants, is one of four known places on the planet where the western prairie fringed orchid and Mead's milkweed — two federally protected plant species — are found together.
Ed Martinko, Kansas Biological Survey director, said that as cities grow, original prairie land could be at risk.
More people around the Rockefeller prairie increases the possibility they could bring invasive species onto the land, he said.
"Some of the problems are pretty subtle, too," said Scott Campbell, a research associate with the survey. "If there's suddenly a bunch of houses across the fence from the prairie, you have the introduction of nonnative species like cool-season grasses, such as fescue and brome, or dandelions and weeds, or pesticides."
KANSAS DEATH PENALTY
Supreme Court to hear death penalty cases
BY CARL MANNING THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Dec. 7 about whether the Kansas death penalty is constitutional, and Attorney General Phill Kline plans to be there to make the state's case.
Kansas' is one of four death penalty cases scheduled before the nation's highest court when it begins its new term in October. Seven men who had been sentenced to die in Kansas might yet face execution if the court upholds the law.
In December, the Kansas Supreme Court declared the 1994 death penalty law was flawed because of how it said juries should consider the evidence for imposing a death sentence. Kline appealed, and the high court agreed in May to take the case.
"He has been preparing ever since the court said it would hear the case and has a definite game plan. He will be well prepared to represent Kansas," said
Whitney Watson, spokesman for the attorney general's office.
Watson said this will be Kline's first time to argue before the justices, although he appeared before them in October when the court heard arguments in an Arkansas River water rights case between Kansas and Colorado.
At issue in the death penalty statute is the section that states if the evidence for or against imposing the death sentence seems equal, the jury must choose death.
The Kansas court disagreed, saying when the evidence seems equal, the defendant should benefit. To do otherwise amounts to cruel and unusual punishment and violates defendants' rights to due legal process, the court said.
Earlier this year, legislators could have fixed the flaw by rewriting the law. But they felt that doing that could discourage the high court from accepting the appeal and would end any chance of those on death row facing execution by lethal injection.

--lobby. A second headed for another hotel but got caught in traffic and blew up before reaching the target. A third explosive device, hidden in a knapsack, went off minutes after the Ghazala blast at the entrance to a beach promenade. As many as 88 people were killed.
Officials name bomb suspect
BOMBINGS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt — Investigators identified an Egyptian as a possible suicide bomber in the terror attacks at this Red Sea resort and were searching July 26 for his suspected Islamic militant cohorts — the first break in the probe.
The development came as two security officials revealed that authorities received information of an imminent terror attack in Sharm el-Sheik several days before the bombings July 23. But they thought casinos would be targeted, so security was increased around those sites, not hotels.
The officials would not say where the tip came from but said headquarters in Cairo told security forces in Sharm to be on alert and to step up measures around key locations.
It appeared authorities chose the wrong possible targets to watch, said one of the officials in Cairo. Both officials are close to the inquiry and spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not authorized for release.
Security was heightened around casinos on the theory they would be attacked because Israelis come to Sharm for gambling, which is banned in their country.
The government has sacked the heads of security in North and South Sinai provinces, an apparent sign of the failures that may have allowed the assault on one of Egypt's most closely guarded tourist towns.
Instead of going after casinos, bombers in two explosives-laden trucks targeted hotels. One plowed into the Ghazala Gardens reception area, leveling the
Police had been studying two bodies found at the Ghazala as possible bombers because the remains were dismembered. DNA tests identified one of the bodies as that of Moussa Badran, an Egyptian resident of Sinai who police said has links to Islamic militants.
Initially, officials said the body was that of Badran's brother Youssef. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the release of the details had not been authorized, did not give a reason for the change in identification.
The second body from the Ghazala is still being tested. A third body in Sharm's Old Market, the site of the other truck explosion, is also being examined as a possible bomber.
Moussa Badran — a resident of Sheik Zawaiad, a town near el-Arish in northern Sinai — fled the family house soon after a terror attack last October at two other Red Sea resorts, his stepmother told The Associated Press.
Many relatives — including women were arrested after Badran's disappearance and tortured, and another brother remains in custody, said the stepmother, Mariam Hamad Salem al-Sawarka.
Hours after the Sharm blast, police took DNA samples from Badran's father and siblings and from other families with relatives who have gone into hiding since
the Taba attacks, al-Sawarka said. She said Youssef Badran moved to another town near Sheik Zawaid several years ago and she had not seen him since.
Investigators have been exploring possible links between the July 23 attacks and those in October against hotels in the resorts of Taba and Ras Shitan, near the Israeli border. Those earlier attacks killed 34 people, including many Israelis.
Israel warned Israelis a year ago not to visit Egypt, and especially Sinai, because of the possibility terrorists would attack tourist sites. No Israelis were known to have died in the Sharm bombings, although Israeli media have said there were a number of Israelis there at the time.
Security forces detained thousands of people after the October attacks — mainly from the north Sinai area.
This time, across Sinai, security forces took in 70 people for questioning on July 26, bringing to 140 the number questioned since the July 23 attacks. Police detained an unspecified number of people overnight in the villages of Husseinat and Muqataa near the Gaza border.
Security officials in el-Arish said that, based on information from interrogations, they were looking for two other people from the area, Moussa Ayad Suleiman Awda and Ahmed Ibrahim Hamad Ibrahim, in connection with the Sharm attacks.
Investigators were concentrating on the theory that the bombings were carried out by Egyptian militants, but were not excluding the possibility they received international help, the security officials in Cairo said.
DEATH ROW
Man claims retardation. faces death
BY SUE LINDSEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YORKTOWN, Va. — A lawyer for a death row inmate told jurors July 26 his client was so limited mentally that he couldn't get a driver's license and was cut from the football team because he didn't understand the rules.
A prosecutor, though, said Daryl Atkins' mental retardation claim was a ploy to avoid execution.
"None of his teachers, friends or family believed Daryl was mentally retarded until he was facing the death penalty," Commonwealth's Attorney Eileen Addison said during opening statements.
Defense lawyer Mark Olive portrayed Atkins, 27, as someone who struggled through life because of his limited mental abilities.
"He was teased unmercifully as a child because of mental slowness," Olive said.
A jury was seated earlier July 26 for a trial that will determine whether Atkins, whose case led the Supreme Court to bar execution of the mentally retarded, is himself retarded.
The prosecutor's reference to the fact that Atkins had been sentenced to death prompted one of his attorneys, Joseph Migliozzi Jr., to seek a mistrial, but Judge Prentis Smiley Jr. denied the motion.
Some 100 witnesses could be called during the trial, which was scheduled to last two weeks.
Among the first witnesses were Atkins' mother and two former teachers, all of whom testified that Atkins struggled with schoolwork. Addison said, though, that school records show Atkins simply did not do the required work and began drinking and using marijuana in middle school, and it was "a steady decline from that point on."
Atkins was 18 when he and William Jones killed Airman 1st Class Eric Nesbitt, 21, for beer money. Nesbitt was abducted outside a convenience store, forced to withdraw money from an automated teller machine and driven to a desolate road, where he was shot eight times.
Prosecutors said Atkins was the trigerman. A plea agreement was reached with Jones, who testified against Atkins
and received a life sentence.
Three years ago, Supreme Court justices sided with Atkins' lawyers in ruling that execution of the mentally retarded is unconstitutionally cruel, but did not decide whether Atkins had the disability. The determination of whether inmates are mentally retarded was left to the states.
York County Circuit Judge Prentis Smiley told prospective jurors July 25 that their only assignment would be to decide Atkins' mental capacity.
"This case is going to be unique in the annals of judicial history," he said.
If the jury determines that he is mentally retarded, he will be sentenced to life in prison. Otherwise, he will be executed
An IQ of 70 or less is required to be considered mentally retarded in Virginia, which also takes into account social skills and the ability to care for oneself.
Atkins, who did not finish high school, scored 59 on an IQ test in 1998, but recorded 74 and 76 on more recent tests.
Virginia law, however, also requires that mental retardation be determined by age 18. Atkins' IQ was not tested as

Gentler method of relief
BY ASHLEY MICHAELS
amichaels@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Whether it be old high school sports injuries, the early onset of old age or injury-related, we all have aches and pains, yes, even in our early 20s.
So how do you get rid of them? Some anti-inflammatories have been taken off the market and going to a chiropractor to have them jerk and pop your vertebrae back into place doesn't sound like much fun either.
Some chiropractors are now practicing a newer method of treatment called Activator methods technique. Chiropractors differ on their opinions about the Activator method, but many choose it as their only method. The Activator method uses a hand-held device called an Activator adjusting instrument to gently adjust problem areas.
The Activator method and manual manipulation method are the two methods chiropractors use, and they are both aimed at sublaxations.
Sublaxations are misalignments in the body that alter nerve flow, which results in body malfunction that can take many forms, said Colleen Auchenbach, chiropractor at Advanced Chiropractic, 3300 W. 15th St., who practices only the activator method. Both manipulation and Activator methods find the unaligned areas and realign them so the body can function at its optimal level. The difference is that the Activator method does it in a more comfortable manner, said Auchenbach.
"It is a low force, gentler technique that helps a wide scope of people," Auchenbach said. "I see better long-term results with the Activator method."
23rd St., disagrees.
The comfort of the Activator method attracts Valerie Macon, Lawrence resident.
"A majority of cases benefit more from manipulation as opposed to Activator," Brady said. "But it depends on the patient, each patient is different."
"It's a gentler, more comfortable method," said Macon. "It gently puts you back in alignment without twisting or jerking your body."
It would seem that this is the way to go, but James Timothy Brady, head chiropractor at Brady Chiropractic, 1104 E.
Brady also said he thought the activator method was a technique used by chiropractors who weren't as proficient in hands-on manipulation, which used to be referred to as jerk and pop.
"It takes more effort, energy and skill to do manipulation than it does to use the activator method," Brady said. "When you find a skilled chiropractor who is proficient in manipulation you get greater benefits."
▼ NUCLEAR ARMS
As for the safety involved in manipulation, Brady said that it was safer to do manipulation than to go for a walk, if you had a chiropractor who was practicing safely.
One thing both chiropractors agree on is if you find the right doctor, either method can be successful, it just depends on the patient.

Negotiations to disarm North Korea continue
BY AUDRA ANG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING Negotiators on July 27 began a second day of talks aimed at persuading North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions after the United States and China both expressed determination to make long-awaited headway toward a settlement.
In negotiations July 26, Washington also assured North Korea it had no intention of attacking, and Pyongyang promised to work toward a denuclearized Korean Peninsula, opening moves that also indicated a shared goal of progress.
The latest round of talks resumed in Beijing, the closest ally of the isolated, communist North, after a 13-month boycott by North Korea, which had cited "hostile" U.S. policies. Delegates struck an amiable note before the meeting Tuesday, smiling and clasping hands for a group photo. The other participants are South Korea, Japan and Russia.

GUEST COMMENTARY
Interns need to get a grip
PETER R. WILSON
BILL COPLIN Professor of public policy at the Maxwell School and The College of Arts and Sciences of Syracuse University. He is the author of "Ten Things Employers Want You to Learn in College."
Interns have now settled into their summer experiences, and far too many are beginning to feel oppressed and mistreated. Interns who see themselves as victims of injustice need to get a grip. They don't realize that beginning as a photocopying, data entry, fax-sending, mail delivering and list-checking maven is the road to internship success.
Internships are so important to college students because experience in the real world is considered essential to develop the skills employers want. Companies hire close to 50 percent of their interns for full-time positions according to a 2004 survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Internships are not the only way to get experience. A real job in the summer might provide more of an education depending on the student's interest. Flipping hamburgers may seem like a dead end job. Just don't tell that to current McDonald's President, Jim Skinner, who started that way at 15 in Sydney,
Students should have realistic expectations about their summer job or internship. Students also need to understand that they have to pay their dues as interns. I had an intern once who, when asked to make a copy of a contract by a paralegal in a lawyer's office, quit. Presumably, he thought he should be writing the contracts, not copying them.
Australia, and became a store manager in short order (no pun intended).
Contrast that with another student of mine who took a job with a public interest lobby group in D.C. He told me that all the interns were sitting around complaining about having nothing to do. He volunteered to do all the copying that he could during the first two weeks. The next week he was put in charge of a major campaign for the organization, and the complainers were working for him. Students who told me that they were given nothing to do, failed.
Whether getting a job or an internship, students should see themselves as apprentices. They
are making a bargain with the organization to serve as an apprentice. That bargain requires them to pay for their education with their services.
These kinds of skills get the attention of supervisors and can lead to an experience way above expectations.
Students have real bargaining power to learn more if they have something to offer their boss. In addition to a hard worker who has a good attitude and good people skills, supervisors are looking for skills in short supply. They include Web design; Microsoft Access, Excel and Publisher; and writing skills.
Writing, editing and proofing as well as facility with Word and Excel are skills in short supply throughout the real world. They can be used to leverage a so-so job or internship into a life-changing experience.The next time you hear whining interns, say to them,"ask not what your internship can do for you but what you can do for the people who have been so kind to give you a chance."

Why is Lawrence cool, how big is KU?
Each week, Mr. College Answer Person offers wisdom and advice to those seeking the "inside word" on the college experience. Submit your questions to mistercollege@kansan.com.
Dear Mr. College Answer Person, How many square feet is campus? Billy Lown, Lawrence junior
The campus facts page on www.ku.edu reports that the Lawrence campus measures 1,000 acres; that's about 43.5 million square feet.
Dear Mr. College Answer Person, If Lawrence is so much cooler than Topeka, why isn't it the capital?
Joe Mortensen, Oakland,
Calif., sophomore
spots by Memorial stadium never full?
Helen Krische, archivist and exhibit coordinator for the Watkins Community Museums, 1047 Massachusetts St. said the most simple explanation was that Topeka, an older town than Lawrence and the seat of the early Free State government during the territorial period, became the capital because the constitution for the state of Kansas was written there. She said that Lawrence was cooler than Topeka because it was settled by a group of people from back East with an array of opinions and was always more liberal than Topeka.
Jared Zuckerman, Overland Park senior
Dear Mr. College Answer Person, Why are the red parking
"The best answer is 'we don't know' and deciding whether this is or is not true would take a lot of research," said Margretta de Vries, administrative specialist for KU Parking Services. She said that during the summer these red slots are pretty vacant because staff members park further up the hill. De Vries said concerned students could write a letter to the parking commission suggesting that it should review the red and yellow spot allocation in lot 91.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — More than 100 Santa Clauses and their little helpers danced and bellowed ho-hos at the annual World Santa Claus Congress.
St. Nicks from 10 countries were in a yuletide spirit July 25 as they kicked off a three-day convention in Denmark, including a Santa parade and a chimney-climbing competition.
They were expected to have a few good laughs as they drafted proposals to improve their working conditions.
Demands include standardizing chimney widths in the 25-country European Union and holding Christmas twice a year to lessen the burden on Santas, who must currently rush around the world to distribute presents in just one day.
WORLD RECORD
Mister College Answer Person
Climber sets record by breaking his own
PARADISE, Wash. — William Painter's record as the oldest man to reach the top of Mount Rainier has been broken — by William Painter.
By making it to the 14,411-foot summit at age 82, the retired plutonium worker from the Hanford nuclear reservation beat the mark he set more than a year earlier.
Painter, whose training includes more than 1,300 ascents of 800-foot Badger Mountain near his home in Richland while carrying 40-pound weights, was eager to get home to finish making apricot nectar and apricot jam and get started on the tomatoes in his garden.
"The most important thing is not getting to the summit, but getting down," he said.

Trump says he's cheaper
Dennis Cook/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Donald Trump holds a picture of the New York City skyline while testifying on renovation of the United Nations Headquarters July 21 on Capitol Hill before a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee.
UNITED NATIONS Real estate mogul Donald Trump should bid on a United Nations renovation contract if he thinks he can do the job cheaper and better than anyone else, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said.
Trump told a U.S. Senate hearing last week that the United Nations would commit a boondoggle of immense proportions if it goes ahead with its plan to renovate the outdated United Nations secretariat, a project it says will cost about $1 billion.
Trump predicted that if the U.N. continues with its proposal, the cost will balloon to $3 billion. And he said that he could do the job for $700 million.
"If that's the case I'm sure he will get the contract and so I would encourage him to bid," Annan said July 25.
U. N. officials said their plan for the renovation was sound and expelled skepticism at Trump's claims.
Christopher Burnham, a former Department of State official recently appointed to oversee the building project as the U.N.'s undersecretary-general for management, told the same Senate hearing the United Nations would run "a lean, mean operation."
The 38-story U.N. headquarters is dangerously out of date. It has no sprinkler system, is packed with asbestos, and loses about 25 percent of the heat pumped into it in the winter.
Latin singer, Ricky Martin, pledges to fight stereotypes
Celebrity offers to speak for Arab youth
AMMAN, Jordan — On his first visit to the Middle East, Ricky Martin declared he would try to change negative perceptions of Arab youth in the West.
"I promise I will become a spokesperson, if you allow me to, a spokesperson on your behalf. I will defend you and try to get rid of any stereotypes," the 33-year-old singer told youngsters from 16 mainly Arab countries at a youth conference on July 25.
The children, ages 14 to 16, expressed concern about being labeled as "terrorists" by the West.
"I have been a victim of stereotypes. I come from Latin America and to some countries, we are considered 'losers,' drug traffickers, and that is not fair because that is generalizing," said Martin, who was born in Puerto Rico.
"Those comments are made out of ignorance and we have to sometimes ignore the ignorant, but we also have to educate the ignorant. You have me here as a friend," he said.
Martin, who is a United Nations Children's Fund goodwill ambassador, said he wanted to get to know the youth and their cultures better.
He said he planned to do a concert tour of
the Mideast and North Africa, including Jordan and the Palestinian territories, tentatively scheduled for May 2006.
Martin, whose hits include "She Bangs," "Shake Your Bon-Bon" and "Livin' La Vida Loca," posed for photos with fans, at one point draping over his shoulders a traditional Arab kaffiyeh headscarf with the slogan "Jerusalem Is Ours" written in Arabic on it.
"I had no idea that the kaffiyeh scarf presented to me contained language referring to Jerusalem, and I apologize to anyone who might think I was endorsing its message," Martin said in a statement released July 25 by his New York-based publicist, Ken Sunshine.
"My role is entirely humanitarian, and I will continue to promote the elimination of stereotyping anyone - be they from Latin America, the Middle East, or anywhere across the globe," he said in the statement.
Martin attended the silver jubilee of the Arab Children's Congress set up 25 years ago by Jordan's Queen Nour, King Hussein's widow, to promote creativity, peace, cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. He said he would like to promote a similar youth congress for his native Latin America.

WEDDING CRASHERS WITH CHRISTOPHER WALKEN
Jeff Christensen/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Actors Owen Wilson, left, and Vince Vaughn arrive at the New York City premiere of their new film "Wedding Crashers."
Babe bait offends officials
DENVER — Some military veterans and law enforcement officials are angry about a Web site promoting Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn's comedy "Wedding Crashers."
To win the affections of attractive bridesmaids in the movie, two fun-loving partiers pretend to be Purple Heart recipients.
New Line Cinema's movie Web site includes a fake, paper Purple Heart to cut out, with the spoof: "Carrying a Purple Heart in your jacket guarantees you attention, admiration and plenty of free booze."
"I challenge the producer of that movie to go to Walter Reed Hospital and walk through the ward and see if he still wants to print out a fake Purple Heart," said Thomas Cottone, Jr., a special agent with the FBI who enforces a federal law that prohibits wearing, manufacturing, buying, selling or trading a Medal of Honor.
New Line Cinema, which produced the movie, did not return a phone message.
"Talk to some of these people who don't have legs anymore and see how funny they think that movie is."
A bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives Friday would expand federal law to allow prosecution of anyone who falsely claims to have earned a military medal or a Purple Heart.
Fonda to speak out about war
SANTA FE, N.M. — Actress and activist Jane Fonda says she intends to take a cross-country bus tour to call for an end to U.S.military operations in Iraq.
"I can't go into any detail except to say that it's going to be pretty exciting," she said.
Fonda said her anti-war tour in March will use a bus that runs on "vegetable oil." She will be joined by families of Iraq war veterans and her daughter.
Hundreds of people in the audience cheered loudly when Fonda announced her intentions to join the anti-Iraq war movement.
They plan to return to the Santa Fe area, where she was promoting her book, "My Life So Far" on July 30.
Prompted by a question from the audience, Fonda said war veterans that she has met on a nationwide book tour have encouraged her to break her silence on the Iraq war.
"I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," she said. "I carry a lot of baggage from that."
"Ive decided I'm coming out," she said.

Brown may join Knicl

BY CHRIS SHERIDAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Larry Brown former Kansas coach of the 1998 NCAA championship team, has been offered a contract by the New York Knicks to become the franchise's 22nd head coach, his agent said July 26.
"An offer has been made, but that doesn't mean a contract has been completed. Nothing has been finalized," said Joe Glass, Brown's longtime agent.
With the 64-year-old Brown, who has coached seven NBA teams and two college teams, the likelihood of a snag can never be underestimated.

"We're making progress, and we're continuing to talk at this point," Knicks spokesman Joe Favorito said.
Glass was not sure when contract negotiations might wrap up.
"Too hard to say," said Glass, 80, whose son has been an agent for several NBA players. "There's no time factor as far as we're concerned. We'll get it done as soon as we get it done."
Brown had dinner the night of July 25 with team president Isiah Thomas and interim coach Herb Williams, a meeting that Brown described as "positive." Brown had been uneasy about the prospect of displacing Williams as coach
VOLLEYBALL
'Hawk invited to train
Freshman volleyball standout Emily Brown was one of 14 girls selected to train with the U.S. Women's Volleyball Junior National Team.
The training session was July 13 through 18 and took place at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Brown, a 6-foot-2 right side hitter/setter from Baldwin City, was invited to attend the training session after a tryout she attended in February. Brown and the other 13 girls from around the United States, are considered alternates for the Junior National Team
The team is coached by Brian Hosefeld from University of Texas, Louella Lovely from
the University of Notre Dame and Ken Ko from the University of Washington.
Brown, who averaged 2.45 digs per game and 2.12 kills per game, trains as a right side/outside hitter at Kansas. While at the training camp Brown was trained as the team's setter, a position she wasn't used to playing.
"I was honored to be invited to the training camp," Brown said. "I was definitely taken out of my comfort zone but I learned a lot and hope to carry the skills I learned with me into next season."
The Junior National Team will compete in the FIVB Junior Women's U-20 National Championships July 23 through 31 in Ankara, Turkey.

Aaron Miles
Three former Kansas men's basketball players are adjusting to life on opposing teams.
The Miami Heat drafted Simien during the 2005 NBA Draft on June 29. Miles and Langford were not drafted but have found their places among the NBA hopefuls. Miles now plays with the Seattle SuperSonics summer league team. He hasn't played against any of his former teammates but he did get the opportunity to train with Simien in Denver.
Aaron Miles, former guard, Keith Langford, former forward, and Wayne Simien, former forward, are all currently members of NBA summer league teams, only now they are playing against each other.
"We worked out together so sometimes we were on the same team and sometimes we were on separate teams," Miles said. "When we played on the same team it was like the chemistry was still there. I knew where he wanted the ball and how to give it to him. When we played against each other it was like we knew what each other was going to do.I wanted my team to win, but at the same time I wanted him to do good as well."
Langford is playing with the Dallas Mavericks and got the opportunity to play against Simien and the Miami Heat twice, July 11 and July 14 at Long Beach State.

At the first game on July 11, the Heat won 95-87. Langford was 1 for 8 from the field ending the night with 4 points. Simien scored 13 points and was 5 for 12.
When the two former teammates met for the second time, the Mavericks won 109-96. Both Langford and Simien scored 20 points.
Simien will stay with the Heat following the summer league season. As of July 26, Miles and Langford have not been picked up by any teams for the regular season.
"It's cool because my team won," Langford said. "But when we played against each other I had to catch myself every once in awhile after a point or when we did something good because it's just habit to congratulate each other. It was good to see him play and to see him doing good."
