》 ADMINISTRATION
Withdrawal policy doesn't mind its F's and P's
BY DEEPA SAMPAT
dsampat@kansan.com
Next year, students who want to drop a class will see a different mark on their transcripts and won't have to get their instructor's permission.
University Senate passed a new withdrawal policy, which will be implemented in the fall. Instead of receiving a "WP," withdrawn passing, or a "WF," withdrawn failing, after students drop a class, they will simply receive a "W," withdrawn. Also, students will no longer be required to obtain a signature to drop a class from their instructor. Instead, they must follow the drop procedures required by the specific school in which they are enrolled.
Joan Hahn, assistant registrar at
the Office of the University Registrar, said when a student dropped a class, they automatically received a "W". She said she thought students would benefit from the new policy because it would provide consistency in marks and because it eliminated the use of discretion by the instructor.
"It provides more opportunity for equity for the students," Hahn said.
Rick Levy, former president of Faculty Senate, said the Academic Policies and Procedures Committee recommended the change of policy for two reasons. He said instructors had no consistent understanding of what warranted a "WF" or "WP" mark. For example, some instructors would give students a "WF" if they never came to class, even if
they meant to drop the class but just forgot to do so.
"The intention was not to penalize students but help students that withdrew", Levy said.
Another reason for the revision was the hassle of obtaining instructors' signatures to drop a course. Levy said many times students were waiting until the last minute to drop a course and were unable to get a signature by the deadline.
Marianne Berry, University Senate president, said she didn't have a strong opinion about whether
"Students weren't necessarily planning far enough in advance," Levy said. "They didn't know whether the faculty member was going to be in town or out of town."
to change the policy, but she thought the new policy would make the withdrawal process more convenient for students because they didn't have to obtain an instructor's permission to drop a class.
"It makes it more straightforward," Berry said. "They could do it more quickly and be in charge of their own destiny."
Levy said the original proposal had to be reworded to clarify ambiguities. The revisions to the proposal clarified that a mark of "W" would not be included in a student's grade point average, that neither an instructor nor a school could withhold a student's withdrawal in the second withdrawal period, and that it was the student's responsibility to
complete the withdrawal procedures of his or her school.
"None of those changes were actual changes to the policy," Levy said. "Those were all things that were understood but not explicit."
Geraldo de Sousa, chair of Academic Policies and Procedures, said University Senate showed widespread support for the policy change.
"The new policy greatly simplifies the course withdrawal process," he said.
The withdrawal policy affects students who drop a class in the second withdrawal period, which is the 16th though the 60th instructional day of the semester.

Safety concerns cause show to be moved Clinton Lake

It will be a change of scenery for the annual Fourth of July fireworks display in Lawrence this year.
Because of safety concerns about

The issue about street safety was also a concern. Saathoff said that in the last couple of years, cars were blocking intersections of downtown streets, restricting traffic.
"We had concerns with people on the levee, on the bridge and people falling in the river."

In response, Albin started an oral history project, "Under the Rainbow," in the past year to challenge stereotypes about gay and lesbian people living in Kansas. She interviews gay, lesbian, bisexual, intersex and queer people, or GLBTIQ, in Kansas to find out how they feel about living in the state. She received several research grants, including a two-year fund from the KU Center for Research.

ART
Dreamy designs draws viewers to museum
BY REBEKAH SCAPERLANDA
rscaperlanda@kansan.com
Surreal and abstract contemporary artwork have come together this month to create the new exhibit, "Dreams and Portals," at the Spencer Museum of Art.
The exhibit features selections from the museum's permanent collection and one original work by KU art professor Carol Ann Carter. The organizers of the exhibit, Kris Ercums and Susan Earle, wanted the collection to display artwork that evoked dreams and blurred the concept of space.
"For the summertime we wanted something slower-paced and relaxed," said Earle, who is curator of European and American art. "We conceived groups of artwork together to have a common view into the same mysterious place: the idea of collapsing space to create dreams."
Earle said that a painting could be a portal into a new way of looking at things. Looking at a painting, she said, invited the viewer to see in one space a mix of what is there and what isn't there, allowing the imagination to run.
Although most of the paintings in the exhibit have been displayed in the museum before, this is the first time the paintings have been grouped together. Earle said the museum wanted to show paintings that hadn't been seen in a while. She said part of what was exciting about working with collections was that she got to shape how the paintings were seen.
Kaitlyn McGill, Omaha, Neb. senior, said that although she had seen some of the art already, the new exhibit allowed for a new way of taking it all in.
"This collection connects the paintings to the theme of dreams and
portals, causing you to think about things in a different way," McGill said. Earle said she hoped the exhibit would inspire people to have discussion on dreams, both their own and in the paintings. She said she wanted to choose things that allowed free play of the imagination for students and visitors.
Melissa Rogers, Lawrence senior said the exhibit let her imagination run wild.
"It's evoking all kinds of different emotions for me," Rogers said. "It's a colorful display of people's strange minds and fantasies. It almost causes you to drift off into your own dream, creating your own story."
According to Jerryye Van Leer, visitor service coordinator, viewers had enjoyed the specific selection of works and their relationship to each other. She said that when visitors first came in, she asked them to stop and look at the paintings, then look deeper. Finally, she asked them to look at the label with the title of the art, giving viewers a deeper understanding into the artist's meaning.
"I think it's more inquiring into your own thoughts and giving your own opinions," Van Leer said. "We try to do a lot of that at the museum, try to encourage the viewer to draw her own conclusions about a piece. I think 'Dreams and Portals' really exemplifies that."
Curator Susan Earle said some of the works in the exhibit were more complicated to understand while others were merely pleasurable, but they came together for the overall "Dreams and Portals" theme. The exhibit will be on display in the museum's central court through Sept. 7.

COMMUNITY
With vehicles aging, department adds new trucks
BY KRISTIN HOPPA
khoppa@kansan.com
Lawrence will add new fire trucks and a new rescue vehicle by 2009, and the new trucks won't cost Lawrence residents a thing.
City commissioners voted unanimously June 17, to grant the city approximately $1.2 million in general obligation bonds for the purchase of two new fire engines and one technical rescue vehicle. The city will not raise taxes to cover the cost of the new equipment.
Bradford said the equipment was costing the city thousands of dollars in maintenance repairs.
The decision came after Fire Chief Mark Bradford requested that the city replace aging equipment.
Bill Stark, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division chief.
said one current fire engine was used about 50 percent of the year and had more than 100,000 miles on it.
"We were concerned with the reliability of these trucks," Stark said.
In addition to the two fire trucks, a technical rescue vehicle will hit the streets for the first time in Lawrence. The vehicle will bring rescue equipment to emergencies.
The department had previously converted an old, retired fire truck into a rescue vehicle that carried water, trench and carry ropes for firefighters. The truck recently went under repair itself. Currently the city is using trailers to take rescue equipment to the scene.
"We still have stuff sitting on the floor in stations," Stark said. "It's not a good way to do business, and it puts our firefighters at risk."
Stark said he hoped to get the city
to approve a regular replacement schedule for fire equipment. City garbage trucks get replaced about every seven years and city police cars get replaced more frequently because of the number of miles put on the cars.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical stations have no such schedule. Starks said he hoped to retire older trucks on a regular basis in the future.
Paperwork to complete the agreement is set to be signed within the next few months and within the next 270 days the new vehicles will be delivered.
"If we are going to do our job," Stark said, "then we are going to do it right."

IRAQ
Leader signs security agreement
BY QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD — Iraq's foreign minister said Tuesday that the country has little choice but to sign a new security agreement with the U.S. that would let American troops stay in the country after a U.N. mandate expires.
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari recently returned to Iraq after meeting with President Bush in Washington to discuss the agreement, which has been criticized by many Iraqi officials worried it would leave too much power in U.S. hands.
But Zebari told parliament that the only other options were to extend the U.N. mandate that expires at the end of the year or continue without a formal agreement, neither of which holds much appeal to Iraqis.
He said an agreement would last one or two years and urged Iraqi officials to finalize it by the end of July.
Meanwhile, a truck bomb planted near the house of a Sunni sheik who had turned against al-Qaida killed one person and wounded 25 others near the northern city of Mosul on Tuesday, said Brig. Khalid Abdul-Sattar, police spokesman in Niniveh province.

WATKINS HEALTH CENTER
New health record system coming to center this summer
BY BRIEUN SCOTT bscott@kansan.com
Watkins Memorial Health Center will install a new electronic health record system beginning July 9.
The record system, Point and Click Solutions, will allow Watkins to have better access to student health records.
Patty Quinlan, nurse supervisor, said Watkins had been trying to purchase an electronic record keeping system for years.
"It's where medicine, as a country, is moving toward," Quinlan said.
She said the goal of Watkins was to provide better health services to
students by being more accessible and portable for staff and students. Quinlan said Watkins wanted to put the Point and Click feature on students' individual KU portals, which would allow them access to their records. In order to do that, Watkins would need on-campus resources to coordinate the program, Quinlan said.
The program would include health features such as influenza clinics and lifestyle questionnaires.
"We're hoping it will increase student participation in health," Quinlan said.
Quinlan said the self-assessments would include questions detailing social history of chemicals, alcohol.
exercise, stress and dietary concerns.
Myra Strother, staff physician, said students would take the lifestyle questionnaire and staff would suggest whether students should go into Watkins for a visit.
Quinlan said the questions would generate helpful information, but doctors and nurses would also manually send messages to students.
Jason McCandless, Lawrence junior, said he would definitely use the feature.
"I think the program would help students realize they need to look into exercising more often," McCandless said.

Delta Tau Delta owned the house from 1914 to 2001 and it was the third oldest fraternity at the University. Membership declined toward the end of the 1990s and by 2001, the fraternity did not have enough members or enough money to maintain operation.

Athletics Department sues Joe-College.com
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
Ifthe Kansas Athletics Department gets its wish, far fewer students will don shirts emblazoned with catchphrases such as "Muck Fizzou" and "Our Coach is PHAT" next football season.
The department took local apparel retailer Joe-College.com, 734 Massachusetts St., to federal court on Tuesday in an effort to stop the store from selling unlicensed Kansas gear. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the store was infringing upon the school's trademark by
printing blue shirts that reference Kansas athletics.
"What we are looking to do is to protect our registered mark, and protect the good name and good will of the University of Kansas," Marchiony said.
Marchiony said many of the store's shirts had language, images or references that were offensive and inconsistent with the University's brand message. The department first addressed the issue in spring 2006, shortly after Joe-College.com opened.
If the department wins the trial, which started Tuesday and runs until
July 9, the shop could close.
"They're trying to close us down," said Joe-College.com owner Larry Sinks. "With the money they want and the shirts they want taken out, it would basically close my store."
Sinks said the department previously offered him a settlement under which he would pay $900,000 and remove the shirts from his store. Sinks said his store had not made $900,000 in sales since opening February 2006.
"We don't use their trademarks," Sinks said. "I use the word 'hawks,' I use our state name, I use Lawrence on some of them, and they've sued
me for every shirt in the store."
Sinks said he thought the department targeted his store specifically because of the controversial "Muck Fizzou" design. Joe-College.com's shirts became the focus of discussion in 2006 when ESPN announced that it would not show fans wearing "Muck Fizzou" shirts during its broadcasts. The Joe-College.com store is plastered with signs reminding shoppers that the T-shirts are unlicensed.
The shirts' lack of legal licensing hasn't limited their popularity on campus. T-shirt designs poking fun at Missouri, Kansas State and North
Carolina are fixtures at Kansas sporting events.
"I think they're pretty funny," Adam Crisasi, Olathe junior, said. "I actually own a couple, so I'm not too opposed to them."
Crifasi said he thought the Department should not be able to earn royalties from Joe-College.com unless the store printed shirts that included the Jayhawk symbol.
Sinks said if he won the trial he planned to expand his business to more locations around the nation.

The Lawrence City Commission unanimously agreed June 24 to approve a proposal that would allow University students to ride the Lawrence Public Transit, or the T, for free if they show a KUID. The new policy would also allow city residents who purchased a T bus pass to ride the University buses for no fare.
The new system would begin Aug. 18 when the fall semester begins.
"Our hope is that any changes made will make service even more attractive and convenient than what is presently offered by each system independently," Galante said.
Cliff Galante, Lawrence's public transit administrator, said the new transit system would provide people in the community, including students, with more mobility options and transportation choices.
Both the city's Public Transit Advisory Committee and University leaders recommended the new ridership policy.
However, some students are skeptical about the new policy.
Alyssse Koch, Shawnee junior, said she didn't see herself taking the T around town. She said she took used campus buses but would rather pay the gas prices to drive herself around town for more convenience.
"They make it a lot easier to make it to class," Koch said. "I'm just not familiar with the other bus routes and I would hate to be stranded
downtown."
Derek Meier, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels, said he received positive feedback from several students who planned to ride the T.
"The policy will allow us to observe any trends that might develop and incorporate those observations into merger plan details," Meier said. "However, KU on Wheels will remain to get students to and from
class efficiently and effectively."
The decision comes weeks after city commissioners denied a request to sign a letter of intent, which outlined a merger of the two bus systems by 2009. City commissioners asked for more public input and a solid financial commitment from the city before moving ahead with the merger.
Sue Hack, city commissioner, also
addressed the duplication of services that KU on Wheels and the T provide the city. Commission members said it was likely that the new policy would reduce the money the city takes in through fares, but no exact dollar amount was given.
In 2007, about 2,700 semester bus passes and 3,400 annual bus passes were sold to students, Meier said.
Galante said there was a strong
recognition by all parties involved that students were to be actively involved in the merger process.
"With rising operational costs impacting, I believe the city and University are better off working together than independently," Galante said. "The goal is to achieve a win-win scenario for all."

A regular user of soft drugs smokes a joint with tobacco and marijuana in a coffee shop in Amsterdam, Netherlands, June 24.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
THIS WEEK IN NEWS Smoking ban vaporizes Dutch marijuana bars
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) This city's famed marijuana bars have weathered many challenges over the years and are still smoking. But now they face an unwelcome blast of fresh air: On July 1, the Netherlands will be one of the last European countries to ban smoking in bars and restaurants in compliance with EU law.
The Health Ministry says the ban will apply to cafes that sell marijuana, known as coffee shops. But this being Holland, which for centuries has experimented with social liberalism, there's a loophole: The ban covers tobacco but not marijuana, which is technically illegal anyway.
But that still leaves coffee shops and their customers in a bind. Dutch and other European marijuana users traditionally smoke pot in fat, cone-shaped joints mixed with tobacco.
Shops are scrambling to adapt. One alternative is "vaporizer" machines, which incinerate weed without smoke. Another is to replace tobacco with herbs like coltsfoot, a common plant that looks like a dandelion and that smokers describe as tasting a bit like oregano.
Credit card companies crunching credit limits
NEW YORK (AP) Just as Americans grow more reliant on credit cards to help pay monthly bills, they're being hit with a one-two punch: Card companies are reducing borrowing limits for tens of thousands of consumers, which then can lead to lower credit scores.
Those facing this predicament might not even know it until they apply for a loan or another credit card, and then get denied because their credit score has dropped.
This is an unintended consequence of the financial world's widespread ratcheting down of risk. Banks and other card lenders are trying to better protect themselves from more massive
losses like those they've seen from subprime mortgages.
As a result, they are looking for ways to reduce their exposure to cardholders more likely to default. That's why they are lowering credit limits, which means they are reducing the maximum amount of credit extended to an individual, along with boosting card interest rates and allowing fewer balance transfers.

Verne Troyer, aka 'Mini Me,' sues over stolen sex tape
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Verne Troyer has sued TMZ and a pornography distributor, seeking the return of a sex tape he says was stolen and more than $20 million in damages.
Troyer, who starred as "Mini Me" in two of the "Austin Powers" films, also wants the video removed from the celebrity gossip site.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, says the tape he made with a former girlfriend was stolen months ago.
St. Louis Archbishop named to Vatican court
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis, a church law expert known for his tough stance that politicians who support abortion rights be denied Holy Communion, was named Friday to head the Vatican's supreme court.
Pope Benedict XVI's appointment of the American prelate was part of a small shuffle; the previous head of the court, Italian Cardinal Agostino Vallini, was named as the pontiff's assistant for the diocese of Rome.
Burke, who will move to Rome, will head the Apostolic Signatura — as the supreme court is called.

City uses ladybugs as pesticide alternative
BY KRISTIN HOPPA
khoppa@kansan.com
It's a battle of the bugs in downtown Lawrence.
The Lawrence Parks and Recreation department released
18,000 ladybugs at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in an effort to eliminate the threat of aphids and mites damaging city flowers.
The department decided to use the ladybugs as a natural pest control solution instead of pesti-
into plants, flowers and shrubs in search of the pests. A ladybug can eat up to 50 pests a day, plus insect eggs, according to a release.
"We are hoping they get in there and eat the harmful pests."
"We are hoping they get in there and eat the harmful pests," said Crystal Miles, Lawrence horticul-
cides after city commissioners campaigned for pesticide-free parks this year.

"We usually plant flowers that are insect resistant," Miles said. "We have just had really unusual weather."
The city has used a chemical soap-based pesticide in the past. Miles purchased the ladybugs online from a natural garden company in Bozeman, Mont.
"This is the first time we have done this," Miles said. "We are hoping they stay and lay eggs and have two generations here."
Field supervisor John McDonald said the ladybugs are much more beneficial for the environment, but was not sure how much more effective the ladybugs were than pesticides in removing pests.
"I don't know," McDonald said. "We'll give it a try and find out."
Ladybugs nest on Cuphea Roses covered with aphids Thursday evening in Watson park. Lawrence Parks and Recreation employees released the bugs in hopes the bugs will eat the aphids and prevent damage to park flowers.
The city bought the bugs for $43. Miles said people could try ladybugs at local greenhouses and use them in
their own homes.
As for whether the ladybugs will continue to call Lawrence home, Miles said she expected to see results
in the next few days.

CAMPAIGN ACTIVISM
Political science students get involved with local elections
BY RAMSEY COX rcox@kansan.com
Most campaign work involves door-to-door canvassing, registering voters and talking with voters about their concerns.
"I wanted to get involved because
The 2008 election campaigns have already started gearing up for November and a few political science students found ways to get involved over the summer.
David Greenwald, Overland Park senior, works as a field director for U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), who is running for reelection as one of Kansas' senators.
I love politics and I want to have a career in it," Greenwald said. "I feel a civic duty; everyone should be doing their part to get things done."
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, helped Rachelle Netzer. Lawrence senior, get her summer job.
"Campaigns offer a great way to get involved in politics," Loomis said. "They're sort of like accordions they keep expanding during the election season, and then fold up once the election is over."
David Jones, Kansas City, Kan. senior, works in community outreach
Netzer works as a campaign fundraising assistant for 54th District State Representative candidate, Bruce Cooper. She interviewed with the
Kansas Democratic Party, which asked her if she wanted to work on Cooper's campaign. Netzer wanted to work on a local level after having worked on the national level during a Washington, D.C., internship with U.S. Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.) on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"Politics seemed intangible to me at first, but it's really pretty easy to get involved, especially as a volunteer," Netzer said. "It's hard for Representatives to know what issues matter to students if they're not involved."
for the Kansas Democratic Party in Wyandotte, Shawnee and Douglas counties.
"I think this is a historic election," Jones said. "A lot is going on in the world right now and if you don't think it's affecting you now, it will later. Not everyone writes letters to their congressperson, but everyone should at least vote."
A Harvard University Institute of Politics survey done in April revealed that caucus turnout among 18 to 29-year-olds tripled in Midwest states like Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.
The survey also found that with 18- to 24-year-olds, U.S. Sen. Barack
Obama (D-Ill.) supporters show more interest in volunteering than U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) supporters. Sixty-three percent of Obama supporters said they would volunteer for his campaign compared to 54 percent of McCain supporters.
"All in all, we're better off if large numbers of students and young people get involved in campaigns." Loomis said. "They're messy and often frustrating, but they offer a great chance to test drive a career, gain real-world skills and reach a more sophisticated understanding of the world of politics."

Student out to prove gay and Republican can mix
Ashleigh
Alex Earles, Salina sophomore, says his upbringing affects his political views more than his sexuality. Earles ran for United Students for the College of liberal Arts and Sciences student senate seat.
BY RAMSEY COX

rcox@kansan.com
Alex Earles was eight years old when he voted for Bob Dole for President. It was not a real ballot. Poll workers in Assaria made unofficial ballots for Earles, Salina sophomore, as a child because they knew he always came with his mother to vote.
"We always talked about news and politics as a family," Earles said.
Earles told his friends and family last year that he was gay, turning the small town he grew up in on its head. But nothing about Earle's really changed, not even his political affiliation with the Republican Party.
Earles' high school senior class comprised the same 80 people he entered kindergarten with. Southeast Saline, a school southeast of Salina is a K-12 school. Randee Platt went to school with Earles and said the school was in the middle of a cow pasture.
"I would say 80 percent of the people we went to high school with were conservative Republicans and 95 percent of the community is," Platt said.
Earles said he decided to come out
after coming to college and meeting other gay people.
"When I first came out I thought I should change parties and become a Democrat," Earles said. "But my views didn't change, I was still a moderate Republican. Ultimately, you have to follow what you believe in."
Earles refers to himself as a moderate Republican because he supports gay marriage, but that is the only issue he disagrees with the Republican Party on.
"You don't base your political party on one thing," Earles said. "I'm not going to let a three-letter word, g-a-y, define who I am for everything."
Some people think it is odd to be both gay and Republican because traditionally minority groups vote more for the Democratic Party.
"You don't see many people who are gay and even moderates," said Nick Harbert, Wichita sophomore and Earles' friend. "It's refreshing to see someone be who they are and not be afraid to be gay and Republican."
But Earles' mother had fears when her son first came out.
"He's always wanted to be in politics and I thought, 'Oh no, now he
can't," Robin Earles said. "So I hope he still has a chance to do that and that people come around enough for that to happen for him because he'd
be so good at it."
Earles is a political science and communications major and worked for District 24 State Senator Pete
Brungardt (R-Salina). He is also a Student Senator and ran for United Students for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences seat.

Belly dancing sways away dance stereotypes
BY BRYAN CISLER bcisler@kansan.com
Alberta Wright remembers it clearly. It was more than 30 years ago when she was a student at the University and stumbled upon an ad for a belly dancing class while flipping through The Kansan. Wright
gave into her curiosity and attended the class. She quickly knew she had found her calling.
"I thought that was it, this was my dance," Wright said.
Wright loved the quick movements and independent nature of the dance, and three decades later she is still going strong. Wright is an office manager for the School of Social Welfare and also teaches belly dancing classes.
"A lot of students when they take classes realize it wasn't what they thought it was going to be," Wright said. "They thought they were going to shake their tits and ass."
Over the years, belly dancing has taken many forms and new dances and styles have emerged. Kelsey Coon, Topeka senior, has been belly
"Most dancers who become belly dancers say they were shy at the beginning but found out that they were an entertainer deep down inside."

Belly dancing instructor
Belly dancing originated from the Middle East and was one of the oldest dances in the world. Still, belly dancing has had to fight stereotypes in the U.S. Some associate the dance form with stripping.
dancing for several years and said it was the best form of dance for posture because the dance uses every torso and back muscle.
"Belly dancing is an art which requires concentration, unbelievable
control over the body, patience and a creative mind that can match appropriate movements to the music's often quickly-changing mood," Coon said. "Belly dancing is the most free and expressive form of dance of all I have learned."
Jo Anne Zingo has been teaching belly dancing classes for 15 years at the Lawrence Parks and Recreation. Zingo teaches different classes based
on skill level. She said she noticed an increase in interest five years ago when the U.S. went to war with Iraq. She said people began to pay more attention to Middle Eastern culture.
"After the political responsibility is the social responsibility," Zingo said. "We began to wonder about their people."
Another reason belly dancing has been gaining popularity is because it is one of the few dance forms that encourages dancers of all ages and sizes. In Egypt, older belly dancers are admired, and Wright said being heavy was an advantage.
"You want a fleshier body so you can see the movement." Wright said.
Wright, who has performed in many shows throughout the years including the Renaissance Festival in Bonner Springs, said that belly dancing had given her the opportunity to show people a side of her that she didn't usually show.

March of penguins could be wary sign
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The dwindling march of the penguins is signaling that the world's oceans are in trouble, scientists now say. Penguins may be the tuxedo-clad version of a canary in the coal mine, with generally ailing populations from a combination of global warming, ocean oil pollution, depleted fisheries, and tourism and development, according to a new scientific review paper.
A University of Washington biologist detailed specific problems around the world with remote penguin populations, linking their decline to the overall health of southern oceans.
"Now we're seeing effects (of human caused warming and pollution) in the most faraway places in the world," said conservation biologist P. Dee Boersma, author of the
Scientists figure there are between 16 to 19 species of penguins. About a dozen are in some form of trouble, Boersma wrote. A few, such as the king penguin found in islands north of Antarctica, are improving in numbers, she said.
paper published in the July edition of the journal Bioscience. "Many penguins we thought would be safe because they are not that close to people. And that's not true."
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature lists three penguin species as endangered, seven as vulnerable, which means they are "facing a high risk of extinction in the wild," and two more as "near threatened." About 15 years ago only five to seven penguin species were considered vulnerable, experts said.

Compost site could reduce waste in landfills
MANDY EARLES
mearles@kansan.com
Stephanie Mott has proposed a composting site for the University to help reduce the amount of food waste in landfills.
Mott, 2008 graduate, met with a subcommittee of the project Tuesday to discuss potential locations for the composting site.
Peg Livingood, project manager for the University Design and Construction Management, said she
thought students would benefit from the composting site because it would allow students to decrease their collective effect on the environment.
"As a major research and educational institution, KU has an opportunity to provide leadership and education for the citizens of the state in matters of sustainability," Livingood said.
Tim Evans, KU alumni and author of a previous composting idea at the University, said he thought composting would benefit more than just the
people involved.
"This project would provide a great opportunity to show students, faculty, staff and the community that we have resources around us that go untapped," Evans said. "What was once a waste is now a valuable resource."
Mott, a researcher for the KU Center for Sustainability, said that once a location was determined, the next step would be funding the project. Mott said they would need to research where funding was available
and whether they could get grants or on-campus funding.
Mott said the committee looked at the possibility of having the site near one of the KU dining services, which would provide the food scraps, but most dining services didn't have enough room.
"We now plan to evaluate places on West campus," Mott said.

Mott said she had researched all possibilities for the University. She said she looked at costs, physical space of the site and what other universities had done. She said she found Green Mountain Technologies had the best in-vessel system for the University called Earth Tub.
Mott said the project would probably only require two Earth Tubs in the beginning. She said she figured the project would start out small and they would add more tubs later.
Penny Bernard, the business manager of Green Mountain Technologies, said Earth Tub would decrease the amount of time it took to compost as opposed to using regular bins.
"Earth Tub cost the right amount and had an optimal size for KU." Mott said. "It also has an air filter, which reduces the smell."
Bernard said it would be easier for the University to implement a composting project because the University has more people available to help install and run the composting site.
Mott said the project would need students for collecting the food and placing the soil, but that the Earth Tub only required one person to operate. Mott said the positions would most likely be paid.
Mott said that she hoped KU would soon approve the project,but
DIY compost site
Here are a few steps recommended by Stephanie Mott on how to start your own composting site.
- Mix food scraps (nitrogen source) with wood chips, sawdust or dead leaves (carbon source) into a pile or a bin.
- Moisture is added from the food or you can add water to accelerate the process of decomposing.
- Air is required because it is an aerobic process, meaning the organisms in the pile need air to survive.
- The temperature should be warm to hot, which indicates the speed of the decomposition process.
- Unless you need soil fast, a compost pile in your backyard will be ready in a month or two.
- For bigger projects and faster results, using a product like Earth Tub can take only three to four weeks.
"Composting is a very effective way to improve KU's soil," Mott said. "We may even increase campus pride, knowing we are all actively contributing to a more sustainable and beautiful campus."
in the meantime, she would continue to remind KU about all the advantages composting offered.

OPINION
ADVICE
Jayhawk dirty talk
Why is it that no matter how smitten enamored or sexually infatuated a lady might be with a gentleman, when her friends are present, little to no signs are shown and all of aforementioned friend's needs and desires come first, to the point of avoiding all alone or private moments in favor of said friend. Whereas guys go to great lengths in order to leave their friend alone under such circumstances and allow the natural process.
Basically, why do women allow each other to. dare I say...pussyblock? each other so regularly without dispute?
- Kitty Blocked
It would be a moot point to give you advice about what happened in the past (especially since I don't know the specifics of the situation), so I will try to give you advice for the future. I will also assume that since you didn't say that this lady was your girlfriend, she was someone you just met.
Understand that when you try to get a girl to come home with you there is much to consider.
Do you come across as sensitive and respectful, or does it seem like you just want to get laid?
You have to understand that boys and girls are socialized differently. Men are taught that going out for random play just makes you one of the guys while women are taught that if they do the same they are sluts. For you, this may just seem like a one night stand, but she might be looking for something more. Lawrence Sex Therapist Dennis Detweiler says that men and women often view this situation differently.
“There's a myth that guys are just wanting to get laid and get off and for women it's a much more emotional experience, and it is. There is some truth to that, generally speaking," Detweiler said. "Men connect through sex and women need to feel connected to have sex. That's just true. Women need to feel bonded... They're checking with their friends, 'am I making a mistake, is this a bad idea, cause for me I know it's not just about sex and getting laid. Am I going to regret it in the morning?"
Detweiler's words are supported by a recent Duram University study. Out of seventen hundred people surveyed just under half of women who have one night stands regret it afterward.
BY PETER SOTO
How developed is your relationship with this person?
If you just met, her friends will be more important to her than you. Their approval is something you are going to need if you are going to get anywhere with her. These are the people she looks to when she doesn't have the answers. Their needs are going to out rank yours just about every time. Examine yourself and figure out if you are doing anything that might lead to an undesirable response.
I know I said I wouldn't bring the girlfriend situation up, but this is important. If the girl in question is your girlfriend, you may want to reevaluate your relationship with her. Are you two closer than her and her friends? If you think so, and this pussy blockery keeps happening, you need to talk to her and find out how she feels about the relationship. Try to compromise.
Are you over generalizing?
When dealing with any situation it is never a good idea to over generalize, especially when dealing with affairs of an amorous nature. Sweepy generalizations such as, "...why do women allow eachother to..dare I say..pussy-block? each other so regularly without dispute??" and, "guys go to great lengths in order to leave their friend alone under such circumstances and allow the natural process," are not going to get you the answers you're looking for. Not all women pussyblock and not all men act as carnal targeting systems for their friend's dicks. There are wing men and women, just like there are pussy/cock blockers. Neither sex is narrowly confined in the way it operates. You are going to find that there will be women who are totally down for going home with you and there are others who aren't.
Just be a nice guy and things will work out.

White Owl coverage overshadows more serious issues
A newspapers responsibility is to report the news that will directly or indirectly effect the lives of it's readers. But the The Kansan's Q & A with Julia Lee, the fiancée of White Owl, does not meet that responsibility and instead is a debasement of the institution of American journalism. The level of public discourse in this country is at an embarrassingly low level, and it is this kind of faux journalism and trivial entertainment that has brought it down to the current level. This article appeared in the The Kansan in a week that saw the continuation of violence in Iraq, the corruption of the elections in Zimbabwe, campaign finance issues in this country and the death of a legendary comedian, but instead of running in-depth articles on those stories. The Kansan chose to run the article on the "campus celebrity" on page 3, long before any of the aforementioned stories. This lack of judgment is magnified by the fact that young students and their families who are visiting the University for orientation will certainly pick up the The Kansan, and the prominent article on White Owl will give the impression of mockery and satire in an otherwise serious publication. People may start to confuse The Kansan for The Onion.

Celebrations around the world
International students have opportunities to celebrate more than just Fourth of July in the U.S.
SACHIKO MIYAKAWA smiyakawa@kansan.com
People in Lawrence this year will celebrate Independence Day by watching fireworks sparkling over the Clinton Lake. However, the university has more than 1,500 international students hailing from more than 110 countries for whom the American independence day isn't their first independence holiday. Other international students residing in Lawrence celebrate their independence by marching on streets, in high schools and on the beach.
1. JOSÉ ESPINOSA-MACHADO, PANAMA
It wasn't easy for José Espinosa-Machado, Lawrence senior, to partake in America's freedom as an immigrant from Panama.
Coming to the U.S. became possible when both his parents received Fulbright Scholarships in 1988 to attend graduate school in Texas.
Life was hard in Panama after the U.S. tried to remove Manuel Noriega, the Panamanian military general, and froze Panama's assets in the late 1980s. Jose said many Panamanians experienced financial hardship during the period.
"My mom was like, 'Let's get out of here. We can escape this hardship at least now,'" he said.
His family came to the U.S. just before the government invaded Panama in 1989, after which the U.S. government cut Jose's parents' scholarships.
After Jose's parents lost their scholarships, his father went back to Panama and his mother Maritza
stayed behind with her three children. She had no relatives in the U.S. and didn't speak English well. The reason she didn't return to Panama was because she couldn't afford the airline tickets back home.

have any money and got multiple jobs. She started work at a manufacturing factory, cleaned other people's houses and washed dishes at a Chinese restaurant.
Maritza moved to Lawrence in 1991 with her three children. Maritza started working for the KU Academic Programs for Excellence and became the director in 1996. She recently earned a doctorate in education.

In Brazil, people wear green and yellow clothes for their Independence Day. Odessa Reis graduated from the University last year. "I heard a lot of Americans are scared of Brazil. They heard it's dangerous," she said. "Brazilians are friendly and warm people."
When she was young, her family could not afford her tuition and she gave up a dream to be an architect. She said she wanted her children

same freedom I had in my country: the freedom to pursue my work, to pursue what I like doing," she said. "I won the scholarship and I came to study. Many things changed and I had to stay. But I had many opportunities in my country, too."
Panama celebrates the day of Separation from Columbia with music and parades. José Espinosa-Machado came from Panama to the U.S. in 1988. He said, "I remember random things. My mom had a garden in the back. She grew tropical fruits and vegetables."
She said one of the main advantages of the U.S. was its people who accepted different ideas and struggled to search for what would develop the country and make a better life.
"People are always thinking outside the limitations," Maritza said. "I think that is why the country is so great and progressive."
Panama has several holidays in November, including the day of separation from Columbia and the day of independence from Spain. Maritza said the separation from Colombia was the biggest holiday among them. She said the whole month was busy with parades and parties.

In Taiwan, the government holds a celebration with military parades and the national anthem for the Independence Day. Ya-Chi Yen came from Taiwan a year ago. She said, "It's really hard to make American friends. I would like to make more American friends."
José has not been back to Panama since he moved to the U.S. in 1988. Many of his relatives live in Panama and he wants to visit them sometime in his life, but he hesitates to do so. He understands Spanish, but he does not speak it well. He said he worried people would think he was not Panamanian.
2. YA-CHI YEN, TAIWAN
Ya-Chi Yen, Taichung, Taiwan sophomore, came to the University last year, seeking to be a dentist.
"It's not very obvious," he said. "I think it's a just subtle things like that."
"I'm also Americanized," José said.
Yen said American universities offered more freedom to students. For example, students can change their majors more easily because of the flexibility of the American educational system.
He said most of the discrimination was not intended. He said discrimination existed in any culture and people often acted in that way unconsciously.
She said she was also surprised at the open relationship between students and instructors after coming to the University. She said American students often argued against instructors in class. She said many Taiwanese students only listened to their teachers' lectures without any interaction.
"Teachers have more power to control students," she said. "Most students are afraid of teachers."

ernment holds an official celebration. Its program includes a presidential speech, public singing of the national anthem and military parade.
Yen said Taiwanese families may gather to remember independence, but usually they did not do anything specific for the day.
Yen said they celebrated traditional events more throughout the year, such as the Chinese New Year, Dragon Boat Festival and the Moon Festival. Those holidays are based on the lunar calendar and are related to Chinese history and legend. Families celebrate the holidays by eating special food, drinking and going to fes-

Mohammed Ahmed Al Yourisif, Al Hassa, Saudi Arabia, graduate student, came to the University to study economics a year ago. He was working at an American bank, which
provided him money to study.
Al Yousif said he hadn't experienced major culture shock since he came here. He had American friends from his work and watched American films at home. He said many
Saudi Arabians were familiar with American culture because of Hollywood and American corporations in Saudi Arabia, such as McDonald's.
Al Vousif said he liked the diversity of American culture. He saw many immigrants and international students from all over the world. He said he could not experience that in Saudi Arabia.
"When I went San Francisco, I went to Chinatown," Al Yousif said. "I felt like I'm in China."
He said many people outside of Saudi Arabia associated the country with desert, but he wanted them to know it had more variety. He said
some places had nice weather similar to California's beautiful mountains and beaches, especially in the south.
Al Yousif said Lawrence was similar to his hometown, Al Hassa, an oasis region in eastern Saudi Arabia.
"It's smaller, not crowded and
there are a lot of trees," Al Yousif said. "I have been to different cities, California, north of Michigan and Seattle. Lawrence is the best."
Saudi Arabia has a national day to celebrate the unification of the country on Sept. 23. People celebrate with
traditional dancing and music, family gatherings and trips to the beach. On that day, King Abdul Aziz talks about the Saudi history on television programs.

Health: Frisbee game fruitful for fun this Fourth

Maggee VanSpeybroeck catches a frisbee during an Ultimate Frisbee game. The game could be a quick way to exercise this Fourth of July.
The Fourth of July calls for family, fireworks, food and - Frisbee! Not only can playing Frisbee be a fun outdoor activity on the Fourth, but it can also get your heart rate up.
Ultimate Frisbee is played with seven people per team. The goal of the game is to get from one side of the field to another, without dropping or moving with the Frisbee. If the Frisbee is dropped, it is turned over to the other team.
Calif., senior and member of KU's women's Ultimate Frisbee team, Ultimate Betty, said playing Frisbee involved a lot of running and endurance.

"You definitely get a workout," VanSpeybroek said. "It's not just jogging. You're essentially sprinting for as long as you are on the field."

VanSpeybroeck said the Fourth of July was a good time to throw around a Frisbee with family and friends.

Q: Most popular firework so far?
A: The festival balls because they are multi-reloadable. It gives you good height and fire burst.
Q: What fireworks do you recommend?
A: My favorite is the Purple Rain. It is a fountain but it gives great color and very pretty. I also like the little party poppers.
A: Never hold a firework when shooting it and don't point it at people.
Q: What are some safety tips for shooting fireworks?
Q: How are firework sales this year?
A: It is definitely going to increase this year because people don't want to spend the money on gas to go see a firework show. Instead they are staying home and giving their friends a show so they don't have to go out.
Q: Where are good places to shoot off fireworks?
A: You just have to check with your city ordinance so you can give your neighborhood a good show.

Movie: 'Wall-E' balances adult, children's interests
"Wall-E" is an impressive chameleon of a film. It's kid-friendly without being juvenile, science fiction without being nerdy and romantic without being sappy.
The film's protagonist, Wall-E, is an inquisitive robot left on a polluted planet Earth hundreds of years after humans have evacuated. Wall-E finds a cure for his perpetual loneliness when a female robot, Eve, shows up from space on a reconnaissance mission. Wall-E follows Eve into outer space and finds the future of humanity in his four-pronged hands.
"Wall-E" does a lot of entertaining without a lot of dialogue. In fact, its two main characters don't use more than one word a piece. Even without the benefit of one-liners, the action sequences are fast-paced enough to keep the film flowing.
Disney • PIXAR
WALL·E
www.blockytrade.com/disneypark.com
Like most science fiction films, "Wall-E" projects a broad social message. Director and writer Andrew Stanton (Toy Story) doesn't belabor
his point or get heavy-handed,but his movie holds value past pure entertainment.
The film's strongest point is its robot romance. Thanks to a gorgeous original score and a brilliant, "Garden State"-esque use of pre-packaged music, "Wall-E" evokes emotion without using words.
It is better at entertaining than
most action films. It holds more social worth than some documentaries.It packs more emotional punch than a year's worth of chick flicks combined. "Wall-E" is worth seeing.

Food: El Mez's food doesn't live up to its booze
When it comes to my favorite ethnic cuisines, Mexican food sits below Italian and Chinese food. I tend to have a hard time distinguishing great Mexican food from trash Mexican food, but after my visit to El Mezcal, 804 Iowa St., I could say unequivocally that its food was sub par.
I walked in and to my surprise the place was packed. I noticed that the majority of people around me were more interested in the jumbo margaritas than in the food.
The margaritas are fantastic,but the best part of eating at El Mez is the endless tortilla chips and salsa. Imagine going to McDonalds and getting all you can eat fries for free.
The downside was the entrees. I ordered beef enchiladas. Honestly, the chips pretty much took care of
my hunger problem so by the time the enchiladas showed up I was being more of a glutton.
Nevertheless, I dug in, and I realized why two tables around me didn't even order food. To be fair the food was edible, but certainly not delectable.
I came to the conclusion that going to El Mezcal for the food is kind of like buying a Playboy for the articles. Sure people might read a story on their way to the centerfold, but it's Miss June who entices readers.
At El Mezcal, the volleyball-sized margaritas are the centerfold and the food is the articles.

Terrace could be relaxing nook
(1)
The terrace behind Strong Hall gets lost in the size of the buildings surrounding it. The usually deserted area on campus could be used as a place to study or read a good book.
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
Strong Hall is one of the most iconic buildings on the University's campus. But lost in the building's beauty is the beautiful terrace behind Strong Hall. Walk past the Jayhawk statue out front, go through the front doors, keep going straight until you reach the back doors, and you'll find one of the most relaxing spots
on campus. The balcony connecting Strong Hall to Spencer Research Library looks as if it came straight from 'The Secret Garden.' An added bonus: The balcony is almost always deserted. Grab a book, sit down on a beach and enjoy the summer sun.

Books:'Fair' plays by the rules with revelations
"Fair Game: My life as a spy, my betrayal by the White House," by Valerie Plame Wilson.
Plame Wilson's detailed account of CIA service is heartbreaking to read, knowing that her career was ended by our government. Her story leading up to her outing is fascinating; names of European countries she lived in are blacked out, as are entire pages deemed too revealing for the general public. Enough thrilling bits are left in that make you want a career in public service, and the personal points about her life make her seem likable and real. One problem is that Plame Wilson uses 400 pages to describe what could have been told in 250. By the end of the book, however, the complexity of politics and government will leave you questioning several past presidents. It also helps an average citizen understand the importance of standing-up for the truth, and fighting for a democratic society.

Meal on a budget: Neil's Mexican Mix
(2)
INGREDIENTS
Megan Lindeman, 22, took a break from her summer job at Jock's Nitch Sporting Goods, 916 Massachusetts St., to share one of her favorite quick recipes.
2 tablespoons of margarine
1 package of Knorr Spanish rice
4 cups of water
1 pound of hamburger meat
1 chopped onion
DIRECTIONS
1 11 oz. can of sweet corn
1 8 oz. package of shredded cheddar cheese
1 package of prepared sweet cornbread
"His mom used to make it for him when he was a kid," Lindeman said.
In medium saucepan, bring four and a half cups of water, two tablespoons of margarine and the package of Knorp Spanish rice to a boil. Stir occasionally for 10 minutes until rice is tender.
Lindeman said her roommate, Neil, made the meal for her first. And where did he get it?
"I just really like how it tastes," said Lindeman, a Pittsburg State student living in Lawrence for the summer. "I like all the stuff mixed together. I never really messed around with it, but you could probably put other stuff in it if you wanted to."
Place the cooked rice and contents of the skillet onto a plate. You can add a package of cheese or salsa to vary the dish.
BRIEF
Then, brown the hamburger meat in a skillet. Once browned, chop up one onion and dump a can of sweet corn into the skillet. Sprinkle a package of sweet prepared cornbread into the skillet for a sweet crunch.

New satellites could be beneficial for spying, alerts
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will buy and operate one or two commercial imagery satellites and plans to design and build another with more sophisticated spying capabilities, according to government
and private industry officials.
The satellites could spy on enemy troop movements, spot construction at suspected nuclear sites and alert commanders to new militant training camps.
The satellite system will cost between $2 billion and $4 billion.

From left: The Long Island Iced Tea, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, the Cape Cod and Summer Brew are refreshing beverages to drink this Fourth of July. Be warned though, some may cause a little too much fun this weekend.
T5P
4 drinks to drink this 4th
Forget the top five drinks, the Fourth of July is all about fours! Breakout the baby pools, barbecue and fireworks. But when celebrating our country's birth, don't forget the beverages. I combed Massachusetts Street to hear from Lawrence residents their top four Fourth of July cocktails. Feel free to experiment with variations of the recipes for your own festive drink.
4. THE CAPE COD:
1 1/2 oz Vodka
4 oz Cranberry Juice
The Cape Cod is a great way to kick off any summer party. It's not potent enough to put you under after a round or two, but will do the trick if you need to break the ice.
3. SUMMER BREW:
Fill with favorite beer to 1 inch below rim
Top off with orange juice or lemonade
1 1/2 oz Vodka
There are many variations on this classic. I was first introduced to this brew under its code name "Hop, Skip and Go Naked." It's delicious, refreshing and great with a good barbecue. A warning to all consumers: This drink will catch up to you. Don't let it find you streaking or in an uncomfortably awkward situation.
Andy Kroeker, Fatso's bartender, 26, recommends this cocktail at
every summer celebration.
"It's seasonal, so it's great in the summer months," Kroeker said.
2. LONG ISLAND ICED TEA:
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Tequila
1 oz Rum
1 oz Gin
1 oz Triple Sec
1 1/2 oz Sweet and Sour
1 oz Lemon Juice
The ingredients list alone could get you tipsy. It's this east coast tradition that's the perfect way to commemorate our nation's birthday. Any warning applicable with Summer Brew is just as, if not more relevant, to the Long Island.It's cleverly disguised alcohol content tricks many cocktail connoisseurs into a state of humiliation
Finish off with a splash of cola
1. PABST BLUE RIBBON
It's wrapped in a patriotic red, white and blue can, it's portable, it's cheap, it's American. No Fourth of July party can go without beer. So maybe Pabst is not the best tasting option, but it is the best looking.
Andrew Walker, Overland Park senior, drinks beer on the fourth because, "It's the manly thing to do"

NBA DRAFT
Falling into the right fit
BY JESSE TEMPLE
jtemple@kansan.com
While Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers never envisioned slipping as far as they did in Thursday night's NBA Draft, a silver lining still remains.
They may actually be better fits with their respective teams than if they had been drafted earlier - despite being a bit lighter in the wallet.
Arthur, who lost about $1.5 million by dropping out of the top 14 to No.27, finds himself with a chance to play the forward spot right away in Memphis. And Chalmers, who fell from his projected spot in the first round to No. 34, could take over point guard duties in Miami. By being a second round selection, however, Chalmers is not guaranteed a contract until making the regular season roster.
A projected top 15 pick, Arthur suddenly and inexplicably began dropping off the draft board like a stone on Thursday.
The New Orleans Hornets finally took Arthur at No. 27, but that was merely the beginning of his night. By early Friday morning, Arthur had been sent to Portland, Houston and finally the Memphis Grizzlies.
The cause of the freefall stemmed from a mix-up on his blood tests, which was said to reveal kidney concerns. Upon taking another test for the Washington Wizards to clear up the matter, Arthur never had the results sent to other teams.
College basketball analyst Dick Vitale said Arthur also was hurt because he struggled during his individual workouts for NBA teams. He said too much emphasis was placed on one day rather than the total resume over the course of a season, which showed Arthur was a proven talent.
By ending up in Memphis, however, Vitale said Arthur helped his chances in the league.
"He has great skills," Vitale said. "The big thing for him is he's going to an environment where he's going to get playing time."
Chalmers originally was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 34th pick before he was traded to the Miami Heat for two future secondround selections and cash considerations.
Heat general manager Randy Pfund said the organization wanted a point guard prospect and was surprised to see Chalmers still available after the first round.
Pfund, who visited Allen Fieldhouse for senior night in early March, said Chalmers was high on the team's draft board. He said Miami head coach Pat Riley even took time off during the season to see Kansas play.
"He's a guy we obviously scouted well," Pfund said of Chalmers. "There was no question that if we got in a position to draft Mario, we would do it."
Pfund said that because of the teamoriented game that Self's Jayhawks played, Chalmers' offensive numbers
did not accurately reflect his potential. In a three-guard lineup with Sherron Collins and Russell Robinson, Chalmers finished his junior season tied for second in scoring at 12.8 points per game. He led the team in both steals (97) and assists (169).
The Heat's current starting point guard, 6-1 Jason Williams, missed part of last season with injuries and will turn 33 next season. Pfund wouldn't comment on the likelihood of Chalmers starting next season.
"I know he'll come in thinking he can do that," Pfund said. "That's one of the things you like about him. He's a confident kid, and that's good. You need a little swagger in this business, and you need to believe in yourself"
Self said the chances of Chalmers playing in Minnesota did not appear very good initially. When he was drafted, Chalmers would have been playing behind No. 3 pick O.J. Mayo, who was traded later on. In Miami, however, Chalmers will face less pressure with Wade as a teammate. Chalmers could find himself wide open for jump shots as Wade draws double teams from defenders.
The only underclassman from Kansas to go where he was projected, Brandon Rush, has less to worry about.
Rush was drafted 13th by the Portland Trailblazers, then shipped off to the Indiana Pacers in a five-player deal.

Former Kansas basketball player Mario Chalmers goes up for a layup during the NCAA tournament last March. The Miami Heat selected Chalmers with the 34th pick in Thursday's NBA Draft.
COMMENTARY
Chalmers' draft night a costly, cautionary tale
JaVale McGee is guaranteed $2.4 million, Alexis Ajinca: $2.1 million. Nicolas Batum: $1.8 million, George Hill: $1.7 million.
Mario Chalmers isn't assured a single cent.
The former Kansas guard, who rode his championship-game heroics out of college and into the NBA Draft one year early, fell past the no-names into the second round

and out of a guaranteed contract in last Thursday's draft. That's not the
way this whole early entry thing is supposed to work.
"There's absolutely no reason for a guy to leave early to be a second-round pick." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I've said that all along, and his family would say that. But now that the decision was made, you live with it."
Mario's miracle shot pulled Kansas to a national title, left
Memphis devastated and pulled him into the national spotlight. But it might have dented Chalmers' pocketbook.
Chalmers is a long-armed ball of energy with springboards for legs and elite defensive instincts. He was the perfect college two-guard. As a junior, Chalmers shot 51 percent from the field and 47 percent from three-point range. He averaged better than two steals per game in each of his three seasons. Chalmers isn't short on athleticism and skill.
But he is short. At 6-foot-1, he's too small to thrive as a shooting guard in the NBA, where he would match up against players 6-foot-5 or taller. To boot, Chalmers didn't

play a lick of point guard at Kansas. With Russell Robinson and Sherrron Collins on the roster, Chalmers never ran the show.
Chalmers' inexperience as a floor general may have compelled the San Antonio Spurs to spend their first-round pick on George Hill, an under-the-radar player from IUPUI. Hill may not have Chalmers' name recognition, but he has three years of service at point guard. Boston, which could have used the final pick of the first round to make Chalmers its new reserve point guard, opted for
Jayhawk expatriate J.R. Giddens.
If Chalmers hadn't bitten the NBA hook after his junior year, he would have had his senior season to audition at point guard. Junior Sherron Collins would have soaked up some of the minutes at point, but Chalmers would have become the focal point of Kansas' offense.
Last season, Chalmers competed with Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur for the ball and only took 19 percent of the Jayhawks' shots. With Rush and Arthur gone, Chalmers could have claimed scoring opportunities aplenty.
But "The Shot" guaranteed Chalmers would not return to Kansas. He graced the cover of Sports Illustrated and led off TV highlight packages for weeks. Chalmers' face value inflated while his basketball value hit a plateau. Most mock drafts placed him in the mid-to-late first round, but NBA teams didn't ask ESPN's experts for advice come draft night.
"Those mock drafts — those guys know about as much as I do," Self said. "Anybody can sit around and
pretend."
Self said he thought Chalmers' agent worked hard in the weeks leading up to the draft to accurately gauge teams' impressions, but the snub was disappointing. Self also said Chalmers was fortunate to drop into a favorable situation with the Miami Heat.
"I think Mario will latch on with Miami," Self said. "From what I understand, they're high on him and feel like he has a real good chance to make their roster."
Chalmers doesn't have much
competition for a roster spot in Miami. The team's incumbent starting point guard, Jason Williams, is a veteran in decline. The current backup point guard is Chris Quinn, a fringy third-year pro without a shade of Chalmers' athleticism.
If the former Jayhawk makes the team, it's an 'All's well that ends well' scenario. If he doesn't, it's the ultimate cautionary tale.

Tiger: 'It will be nice to finally have a healthy leg.'
BY DOUG FERGUSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BETHESDA, Md. - Tiger Woods does not know when he can play golf again, but he said Monday his rebuilt left knee has been sore his entire PGA Tour career and he looks forward to playing on two good legs.
"My left knee has been sore for 10 to 12 years," Woods said during a conference call for his AT&T National tournament, his first public comments since reconstructive surgery last Tuesday. "It will be nice to finally have a healthy leg. The doctors have assured me that my long-term health will be a hell of a lot better than it's been over the last decade. I'm really looking forward to that."
Woods said doctors in Utah used a tendon from his right hamstring to rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, which he said had always been weak and finally snapped while jogging on a

"I really didn't practice a whole lot going into the Open, and I couldn't play more than nine holes in preparation for it," he said. "After dealing with that, I decided to make the U.S. Open my last event for the season, no matter how it turned out. Whether I missed the cut or if I ended up winning the tournament, it was going to be my last event."

He is in a brace and will be on crutches for three weeks to keep weight off his knee.
Woods said he most likely would not be able to attend the AT&T National, which starts Thursday at Congressional, because there was swelling on the flight home to Florida after surgery and doctors have advised him to avoid planes.
Woods apparently wasn't listening in May when X-rays revealed a double stress fracture in his left tibia as he was getting back in shape from arthroscopic surgery to clean out cartilage in his troublesome left knee after the Masters.
"But who knows?" he added. "I don't really listen to doctors all that well, anyway."
In a story told by swing coach
Hank Haney, doctors said the best treatment was for Woods to spend three weeks on crutches, followed by three weeks of rest. Haney said Woods looked at the doctor and said, "I'm playing the U.S. Open, and I'm going to win."
Woods said he knew the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines would be his last tournament of the year no matter what happened.

Powers relishes opportunity with world's best
adidas
Kansas Junior Emily Powers eyes a put during a game of golf. She qualified for the U.S. Women's Golf Open in May, but miss the cut in even when she finished 19 over par.
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Emily Powers doesn't want to remember how she played this weekend in the U.S. Women's Golf Open in Edina, Minn., but she'll never forget what she went through to get there.
The Kansas junior, who missed the cut at the Open after finishing 19 over par, was one of the final golfers to qualify for the event in May.
On May 18, Powers received an invitation to a sectional qualifying tournament that began at 7 a.m. the next day in West Bloomfield, Mich. nine hours away from her native Quincy, Ill.
The Powers family got to the qualifying course as fast as they could but it was still only minutes before the tournament began—leaving no time for Powers to play a practice round. She didn't need it.
Powers played 36 holes and posted scores of 76 and 78, which forced a nine-player playoff the next morning. Powers parred the first hole and clinched a spot in the U.S. Women's Open.
So that's the story she keeps telling — not how she finished 153 out of 156 in the actual Open alongside world-renowned golfers such as
Annika Sorenstam and Se Ri Pak.
"Even though I'm upset with how I played, being able to have that experience was good enough for me," Powers said.
She also got to experience the Open, which was played at Interlachen Country Club, with two of her closest confidants by her side.
Emily's father, Tim Powers, served as her caddie and Kansas coach Erin O'Neil traveled from Lawrence to watch her play. O'Neil said she was impressed with Emily's demeanor throughout her two rounds.
"It was neat to see her in that atmosphere and just to see how she carried herself," O'Neil said. "It seemed like she fit right in."
The problem the course presented to many golfers was its excessive length. At 6,789 yards, Interlachen Country Club is the longest course to ever play host to a U.S.Women's Open.
Both Emily Powers and O'Neil agreed, however, that it didn't affect her game. They blamed her woes on poor course management. Powers hit only eight of 18 greens in her first round and took 36 putts in her second round.
Powers would like to play in the LPGA full-time someday. Seeing the inner-workings of a major tournament and how professionals handle themselves could be beneficial to reaching that goal.
"You get there and you say 'woah this is a major," Tim Powers said. "This is one of the biggest tournaments for men or women - it's what everyone works for."
Inbee Park, a 19-year-old, won the tournament with a 9-under par, becoming the youngest player to ever win the Open. Powers didn't stick
around to watch the finish. She was ready to return home and work on her game.
She'll play in at least two more tournaments this summer before returning to Lawrence to prepare for the Jayhawks' upcoming season. Last season, Powers was the most consistent performer for Kansas with a team-best 75 stroke average. Powers said her goal for next season was to lead the Jayhawks to the national
tournament.
O'Neil thinks Powers' U.S. Women's Open experience will help with that ambition.
"It will be a good motivator for the rest of the team," O'Neil said. "They can see that they can do it too if they put their mind to it."

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS Welcome to Miami, Mike Heat introduce Beasley
MIAMI — By now, those who know anything about Michael Beasley probably are aware of his mischievous side.
The stories of his many transgressions are well-known. He filled a teammate's shoes with toothpaste. He cut off a kindergarten classmate's pigtail. He hid his grandmother's dentures. And most recently, he's a suspect in the investigation to determine who doused his sister's dinner earlier this week with hot sauce.
Not exactly stuff that makes him Public Enemy No.1.
"You know," he said, an eyebrow raised, "I'm a kid."
The Miami Heat hope to watch him become a man.
Beasley arrived in Miami on Friday, one night after the Heat used the No.2 pick in the NBA draft on the scoring machine who left Kansas State after averaging 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds in his lone season there. He got the ultrared-carpet treatment Miami gives to few, the sort of welcome from
team president Pat Riley that only the likes of Shaquille O'Neal, Eddie Jones and Brian Grant received for their South Beach arrivals.
"We will never draft a No.1 or a No.2 again because we're going to win", Riley said."There will be no more lottery picks, we hope, in your career, Michael. And I can assure you that we are on the right path with that specific goal."
Cardinals strike back, clinch series victory in KC
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The sun, the wind, and Jason LaRue's stocky body proved too much for Kansas City to overcome
The backup catcher started his day by holding onto the ball in the first inning when David DeJesus came crashing into him trying to score. DeJesus, leading the majors with a .463 average with runners in scoring position, had to leave the game.
But a fired-up LaRue proceeded to drive in four runs with a windaided home run and one of the strangest triples anyone will ever see, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-6 victory over their state rivals. St. Louis won two of three

VIENNA, Austria - A championship 44 years in the waiting is worth a special celebration.
Spain made sure it didn't disappoint any of its fans Sunday night both during its 1-0 victory over Germany to win the European Championship, and after it.
Fernando Torres scored in the 33rd minute and the Spaniards never backed down against such a formidable opponent. Their last significant title came in the 1964 Euros at home.
"It is to me the most important day in Spanish football in many, many years," Torres said.
Fans celebrated back in Spain, setting off chants of "ES-PANA!" and "Ole, Ole Ole!" at the final whistle.

Rivals in the pool and friends out of it, Lochte and Phelps will go at it again Monday in the same preliminary heat of the 200-meter

"I always feel like he's beatable," Lochte said after narrowly losing to Phelps in the 400 individual medley Sunday night. "He's just a regular person."

quote of the week
"There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man."
—Winston Churchill
fact of the week
James Watt, a Scottish engineer who lived from 1736 to 1819 chose the expression HORSEPOWER to describe the rate at which an engine works. In order to define the power of an engine he performed experiments using heavy dray horses. He discovered that a horse could lift a 100 pound weight at the rate of 220 feet per minute which equals 22,000 foot-pounds per minute. He increased this figure by one half (33,000 foot-pounds per minute or 550 foot-pounds per second) and called it one Horsepower.

Friends, family remember student Jana Mackey
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Days after University of Kansas student Jana Mackey was found dead inside a Lawrence home, friends and relatives were still gathered together, grieving the loss of the second-year KU law student and reflecting on a tumultuous and tragic weekend.
Thursday, Mackey, 25, was found dead inside the home of 46-year-old Adolfo Garcia-Nunez at 409 Michigan St. Garcia-Nunez, her alleged killer, fled the state and was taken into custody on Friday in Elizabeth, N.J. He was found dead inside his jail cell on Saturday, the result of an apparent suicide. Lawrence Police confirmed Garcia-Nunez's death on Saturday.
As of Tuesday, Police had not released Mackey's cause of death.
Friends of Mackeyconfirmed that Mackey and Garcia-Nunez had been dating for the past year until Mackey ended the
relationship three weeks ago.
memorial services
"Jana was the total package," Brandt said. "Beautiful, intelligent — she glowed."
Kelli Brandt, 2005 graduate and one of Mackey's closest friends, said family and friends spent the weekend collecting old photos and telling stories about Mackey's life. Brandt and Mackey met eight years ago while both were living in Hashinger Hall.
2 p.m., Wednesday at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. *Friends and family will gather to celebrate Mackey's life on Wednesday night at The Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.
KU Counseling and Psychological Services: Counselors will be available to meet with law school students, faculty and staff at Green Hall, according to a release from KU Law School.
"She was so comfortable in her own skin. All she wanted to do was bring everyone together."
A native of Hays, Mackey earned her undergraduate degree in Women's
KELLI BRANDT 2005 graduate
Studies. Brendt said she started out in music and theater, but as a sophomore, Mackey enrolled in a women's studies course.
"That course changed her life," Brandt said. "It gave her a purpose."
An advocate for women's
rights, Brandt said Mackey lobbied for the National Organization for Women and ProKanDo, a political action committee in Kansas.
Mackey went into law for the people, Brandt said, not for the money. "All she wanted to do was serve," Brandt said.
Mackey was enrolled this summer in the Paul E. Wilson Defender Project, representing state and federal
prisoners in appellate and post-conviction litigation in state and federal courts.

Gail Agrawal, KU law school dean, said in a statement, "She was a smart, engaging woman whose warm personality and quick smile endeared her to all who knew her."
*****
Massachusetts Street was mostly empty on Sunday evening, as a few walkers passed empty shops. This was a street that Mackey explored often. Friends described Mackey as a "real community girl." If Mackey wasn't at the law school, she was likely on the porch at Free State Brewery, hanging out at Henry's, or watching live music at the Replay Lounge. "She was so comfortable in her own skin," Brandt said. "All she wanted to do was bring everyone together."
Brandt said Mackey met Garcia-Nunez in Spring 2007 while dancing. Garcia-Nunez, an artist, painted a portrait for Mackey. The couple started dating and often went salsa dancing.

But as Brandt acknowledged,
Janna Mackey was known for being "beautiful" and "intelligent."
Garcia-Nunez had a "dark side."
According to records from the Kansas Department of Corrections, Garcia-Nunez was convicted of aggravated assault and aggravated battery in 2004. Garcia-Nunez spent time in jail before being granted parole in August 2006.
Brandt said Mackey was aware of Garcia-Nunez's past, but according
to Brandt, Garcia-Nunez was able to rationalize his criminal background.
Brandt described a Garcia-Nunez who cooked "wonderful food" and was friendly to Mackey's friends.
"Only rarely did we see the other side," Brandt said.
But Brandt said Mackey decided to end the relationship three weeks ago when Garcia-Nunez began acting irrationally. Brandt said she asked Mackey if she thought Garcia-Nunez would ever hurt her. Brandt said her friend told her, "Absolutely not."
But friends started to worry when Mackey went missing last week and her car was discovered June 3 at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Their worst fears came true when Mackey's body was found inside Garcia-Nunez's home late Thursday night.
Brandt said she and Mackey had sat together on Mackey's porch on a recent Sunday.
"She felt like she had a new lease on life," Brandt said. "She was in a really good place in her life. She was the strongest, most elegant, graceful woman," Brandt said.

New ozone emissions standards to affect Douglas County
Citizens could limit vehicle use, businesses could be affected if they cannot meet new EPA standards
BY MANDY EARLES
mearels@kansan.com
According to an EPA press release, communities must lower their ground-level ozone, or smog emissions, to 75 parts per billion, compared with the old standard of 84, by March 2010.
The Environmental Protection Agency recently passed a new, more stringent standard for smog emissions. Now, Douglas County must make sure it can meet those standards.
Richard Ziesenis, director of environmental health for the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said there were many things people in the county could do as individuals to reduce the ozone's emissions. He suggested limiting vehicle use by walking, riding a bike or taking public transit.
Ground-level ozone forms when nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds are exposed to sunlight. Power plants, motor vehicles, airplanes, and household products such as paints and cleaning supplies, make up most of the human-made emissions, according to the EPA.
Mike Russell, director of Environment Health and Safety at the University, said a lot of the ozone emissions in Lawrence came from the traffic.
"We need to make significant cutbacks in the number of both commercial and individual vehicles that travel on the road on a daily basis," Russell said.
Rick Brunetti, director of the bureau of air and radiation
"The community would also be required to get technology to help regulate the ozone emissions."
deadline, it could mean bad news for businesses. He said that if a company was located in a community that couldn't meet the EPA's standards, it might suffer because it could no
at KDHE, said it was mainly the Kansas City Metro area that was contributing to the ozone emissions. He said the city may need to take serious measures in order to meet the EPA's new standards. Brunetti said the KDHE was still looking into whether Douglas County was contributing enough emissions to be considered a part of the Metro area and in need of regulation.
Brunetti said if Kansas City didn't meet the new standards by the 2010

longer expand its business.
"The community would also be required to get technology to help regulate the ozone emissions," Brunetti said. "It can get very expensive."
Brunetti said he didn't think it would come
to that for Kansas City, though. He said Kansas communities were starting to realize they needed to cut down on emissions, not just for the environment but for their health as well.
Joe Blubaugh, director of communications at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said people were starting to learn more about what they could do and even businesses were catching on.
"Some agencies offer a free gas
cap test, which means they'll test to see if your gas cap fits correctly," Blubaugh said. "If it doesn't fit correctly, your vehicle can leak CO2 into the air."
preventing bronchitis, asthma, hospital visits, nonfatal heart attacks and premature death.
Brunetti said that cutting down on ozone emissions would mean clear, cleaner air, which could help improve health conditions.
Cathy Milbourn, senior press officer for the EPA, said the EPA changed its standards because scientific studies showed the ozone affected those with asthma and could cause harm to people who spent a lot of time outdoors. In the EPA's press release, it estimated the new standard would save between $2 billion and $19 billion in health benefits, including
"We think of the environment and health as two separate things, but they are related," he said. "So much of our health is determined by how well we take care of our environment."

Simon Baek saves some green by going green — when the weather permits it, at least.
The Seoul, South Korea, senior, rides his moped the four miles from his off-campus apartment to the University as often as possible because the scooter goes nearly 60 miles on one gallon of gasoline.
"It's good to take to campus because it's so much cheaper," Baek said. "When it's cold or bad weather, and I have to take my car, I end up going to get gas twice a week."
Baek's hesitance to drive to school every day isn't unusual. Popular alternative modes of transportation for students include bicycles and mopeds, while on-campus organizations are turning to electric cars and Segways.
With gas at $3.82 per gallon, a four mile commute costs about 25 cents on a scooter like Baek's. In a car that goes 20 miles per gallon of gas, the same commute costs about 75 cents per trip.
"With anything on two wheels it has been ridiculous as far as the level of business," Jae Landreth, owner of Fineline Vespa, said. "It's because of gas prices — and it might be a good thing to get away from relying on fossil fuels."

The KU Public Safety Office is also turning to green methods of transportation. The University Patrol Unit and the Security Unit share two Segway Personal Transporters, and the Security Unit uses an electric car.
Nitcher said. "You can actually ride on Jayhawk Boulevard and some other places on campus where you can't drive."
The Segways, which were subsidized by Student Senate, travel about 10 miles per hour using an
electric engine. The $5,000 devices use no gasoline.
"Sometimes I'll put one or two officers out on those instead of in a patrol car," Patrol Sergeant Troy Mailen said. "It helps reduce cost in fuel and gives them a little help on patrol to get around a little quicker."
Mailen said the department would like to expand its use of Segways because the small devices were more convenient than patrol cars on the University's compact campus.
The University Security Unit's electric car, or "GEM car," travels up to 25 miles per hour and is fully battery-powered.
"It has allowed us to add another vehicle to our fleet without increasing our gas consumption," Elizabeth Phillips, assistant director of the Public Safety Office, said.
Phillips said the department had not used the one-year old electric vehicle long enough to confirm how much money it had saved.

Community poker? Students go 'all in'

It may not be Las Vegas,but Texas Holdem fans can be high rollers right here in Lawrence every Wednesday and Sunday nights at The Pool Room, 925 Iowa St.
Lawrence-based entertainment company, Poker Pub Inc., plays host to no limit Texas Hold'em tournaments at local bars around the region for anyone to play. With no entry fee and no pre-registration, anyone from those as experienced as two-time World Series of Poker Champion Doyle Brunson to someone who doesn't know their "pocket rockets" can sit down to play at the same table.
"You have some people come in who have never played a hand in their life and others who have played in Vegas. It's a wide, wide range," said Alex Saunders, a Poker Pub official.
Once poker players sign up for a tournament, they are given $4,000 worth of chips to play with for the

next three hours. Because commercial gambling is illegal in Kansas, tournaments are played for prizes. Normally prizes range from $15 to a new poker set. Some nights, Saunders said, are played for points that players can add up for larger prizes. He said the grand prize was qualifying for a larger tournament at Conroy's Pub in Lawrence where the winner received a trip to Las Vegas.
Abel Martens, Lawrence senior, heard about the poker tournaments through a friend and decided it would be worthwhile to check out.
"I'd never even been to The Pool Room before," Martens said. "I really like poker, so the concept is nothing new, but this provides another way for me to do the activity."
Kerri Emel, Hutchinson junior and a waitress at The Pool Room, said the bar didn't seem like a typical college town bar when you first walked into it, but she said the people were friendly and everyone treated each other like family.

"Some people will be more serious and others will just want to play and drink," Emel said. "I think everyone comes just to have a bit of fun."

Campus garden revitalizes locally grown produce
BY MANDY EARLES
mearles@kansan.com
The student group E.A.R.T.H. recently planted and revitalized the campus community garden behind the University Relations building and hoped to donate the plants to local shelters.
E. A.R.T.H, (Environmental Action to Revitalize the Heartland), which is headed by the University of Kansas Center for Community Outreach, started planting the garden at the end of March and has since yielded radishes, lettuce, spinach, onions and much more.
The garden, located between 13th and 14th streets on Louisiana Street, has been a project in the making since 2006. Aaron Olsen, Overland Park senior and founder of the campus
garden, started the garden because he saw an opportunity when he passed an abandoned playground every day behind the University Relations building.
"Turning that space into a garden made the campus more beautiful." Olsen said.
Olsen said the garden did well the first year, but when he had to leave to study abroad, the garden seemed to fall apart because Olsen couldn't find someone to take over.
However, when Olsen returned, Margaret Tran, Derby junior, contacted him with an interest in revitalizing the garden.
"The garden had gotten lost over the years," Tran said. "It was a great way to teach students about gardening and give them a great outdoor experience."
Melissa Rogers, coordinator for
E. A.R.T.H., said so far, the garden hadn't yielded enough this year to start donating, but they would keep expanding the garden so that they could eventually donate.
Olsen said the garden still offered other benefits to the University, such as creating a more beautiful, sustainable campus.
Tran said the garden also offered environmental benefits because the garden didn't use any pesticides, used only natural fertilizers, and produced locally grown food.
"The garden shows how food can be provided on a local level," Tran said. "It can be provided by those within the community, allowing people to see where their food was grown and who grew it."

Crystal Miles, Lawrence horticulture manager, releases ladybugs in hopes of preventing pests from damaging flowers in Watson Park. The ladybugs are an alternative, pesticide-free method in eliminating spider-mites and aphids.
Natural pesticides prove inadequate
BY KRISTIN HOPPA
khoppa@kansan.com
Two weeks after Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department employees released 18,000 ladybugs around town, the results are getting mixed reviews.
City officials released the bugs as a pest control measure in hopes of controlling a growing aphid population at the Union Pacific Depot, Buford Watson Jr. Park and flower beds along Massachusetts Street.
But Crystal Miles, horticulture manager, said that it may still be too soon to tell how effective the ladybugs will be.
"We are trying to give it another month to see if they will lay eggs and give off a second generation," Miles said.
Miles said that the goal of the project was not to eliminate the pests all together, but to bring the environment back to a "natural level."
"We are trying to get a sustainable level of aphids," Miles said.
Miles said one area that had seen improvement was the Union Pacific
Depot. However, one area that has not seen improvements is Buford Watson, Jr. Park, Seventh and Kentucky streets. However, Miles still had hope that the pesticide-free method would work.
City commissioners urged the department to find pesticide-free methods of controlling the pest population in hopes of promoting pesticide-free parks.
Greg McDonald, manager of Sunrise Garden Center, 1501 Learnard Ave., sold the first batch of ladybugs to the city as a test before city employees released the 18,000 bugs.
"A lot of people are going for organic methods of pest removal." McDonald said.
The center also sells preying mantises as another option for pesticide-free pest control. However, McDonald said bugs did not work as well as chemical pesticides in most cases.
"You can't expect bugs to stay there," McDonald said. "When a second generation of pests hatch, the bugs will be gone. If here is no food for the bugs to eat, they leave. That's the real downside."

Candidates running for State Senate in the 2nd and 3rd Districts 2 and State House in the 10th, 44th, 45th and 46th Districts, which represent parts of Lawrence, were asked to share their views on environmental issues. Here are the responses:
STATE SENATE, 2ND DISTRICT Incumbent Marci Francisco Democrat
"I support research on perennial

and food labeling that includes information about production," Francisco said.
Francisco said she supported the construction of green buildings and renewable energy production.
"I support the implementation of the state water plan, conservation of water efforts, state purchases of water rights using funds from the Colorado water settlement, and increased maintenance of our reservoirs," Francisco said. "I support state funds for transportation to be allocated for a variety of transportation modes including bicycles, busses and expansion of Amtrak service."
we need to reduce the stuff our machines are belching into the air" Morgan said.
"If it were easy, it would have already been done. In truth, it will take tough choices and leadership. It means developing an actual energy policy that recognizes our basic need to turn on the lights but also reduces
our use of carbonbased fuels. It means less time being spent on political gamesmanship and more time reaching across political divides to find consensus. It means increasing the use of wind, solar and
other renewable energy sources. It means encouraging conservation and it means making fossil fuels such as coal better reflect their actual cost," Morgan said.

Tom Holland, Democrat, did not respond.
Incumbent Roger Pine, Republican
"As a lifelong farmer, I have raised
BARNARD WILLIAMS
my family on the land and make my living from its bounty. I believe our earth is precious and that we have an obligation to be good stewards of the
Pine
protection.
"Globally, this is a huge issue — it's a reason that the environment often is under greatest assault in impoverished countries where meeting urgent human needs tends to trump a long-term commitment to the environment. That's one reason I also believe strongly that we
must develop a long-term energy policy for Kansas that not only is green in and of itself but that also provides affordable energy and power to all Kansans so that all can afford to participate more fulfil
in protecting our precious environment."
Patrick Wilbur, Libertarian
"We need to explore all avenues of energy options — especially those that are renewable and cost effective. In Kansas, we are lucky to have many options. As State Senator I would encourage an expansion of wind power, including the Flint Hills. I also believe we need to look at expanding nuclear power options, whether that be through new plants or expanding the capabilities of Wolf Creek. I would propose that we expand tax credits for solar energy upgrades to homes and businesses."
Wilbur also said people should be careful relying on the government to solve environmental problems. "The Federal Government is the largest
polluter in the United States," Wilbur said. "Do we really want the fox guarding the henhouse?"
HOUSE,
10TH DISTRICT
John Coen, Republican, did not respond.
Tony Brown, Democrat
"A change that is a bit more difficult is to provide economic incentives to individual persons to reduce energy consumption or install alternative energy sources in their homes.
Brown
CENTRAL LINE
There currently are some modest tax breaks for these kinds of homeowner initiatives, but Kansas has not passed a net-metering law to allow persons to sell solar or wind energy back to energy companies. My wife and I installed solar panels on a home addition we are currently building. The energy produced by these panels goes directly into the electrical grid and excess energy is fed back into the Baldwin City system, so our electrical meter runs forward and backward;" Brown said.
He too said he would not have voted for the Holcomb coal power plant.
"We have got to step up our efforts to explore and develop renewable energy sources like wind, solar and
geothermal energies. There are huge opportunities in these energy areas and we are missing out on them currently." Brown said.
William, Stewart-Starks,
Liberarian
"If I were to throw a bag of garbage

behind the counter of a downtown establishment, the patrons may not take action against me but the owner surely would. Now consider a public park, I am
far more likely to get away with such an abuse because those using the park may not feel that they have any true ownership or incentive to keep it clean. We must eliminate the commons in our community and stop relying on government to police them," Stewart-Starks said.
Like his fellow Libertarian Wilbur, Stewart-Starks said he does not think the public should trust the government to handle environmental issues.
"We must remember that the U.S. Government is the number one polluter in the country and often colludes with big corporations by allowing them to continue polluting with things such as green taxes and carbon credits," Stewart-Starks said.

CANDIDATES (CONTINUED FROM 9)
HOUSE, 44TH DISTRICT Barbara Ballard, Democrat
Ballard said the state needs to develop a comprehensive plan with

solar, wind, nuclear and water.
"I don't know that everyone is taking recycling seriously," Ballard said. "We should emphasize energy use in our schools. It would
be advantageous for us to teach first through third graders to conserve energy."
Ballard said her views on a commuter rail system have changed with the recent rise in gas prices.
"I thought people will always rather use cars that rail, but now with gas prices so high, I've seen people using bikes instead," Ballard
said. "If gas prices stay high, which it looks like they will, more people would be looking at rail as an option. I would consider that for commuters between Lawrence and Topeka. But the question is how do you fund that, it might need to come from federal funding."
HOUSE, 45TH DISTRICT Incumbent, Tom Sloan, Repu11
Sloan said he has supported renewable energy production and
PETER KOLEMAN
Sloan
that he initiated most legal incentives to develop wind energy. "It is necessary to have a balanced energy generation mix to ensure service reliability, manage costs to consumers, protect the environment and facilitate the growth of our economy.
"I am the only state legislator in the U.S. serving on the U.S. Dept. of Energy's Electricity Advisory Committee that is to make policy recommendations to the next Administration," Sloan said. "I am a member of the Kansas Energy Council and have organized five Kansas Electric Transmission Summits involving federal and state policy-makers, Kansas and regional utility executives, state regulators, and wind energy developers to promote the construction of high voltage transmission lines to move wind power from western Kansas to markets in eastern Kansas and other states."
Sloan said he also had concerns about water.
"Reservoirs like Clinton Lake
were constructed with 100-year productive life expectancies; they are now approximately 50 years old. I believe that we need to change our management and funding priorities so that the drinking water supplies, flood control, drought protection and recreational opportunities are sustained well beyond the next 50 years," Sloan said.
John Wilson, Democrat
Wilson said one difference between him and Sloan is that he

"I believe Kansas is a strategic place for renewable energies like wind and solar. I think we
Wilson
should be bold and look for a comprehensive plan. This is the 21st century. Why not think big? We're going to lose out if we don't," Wilson said.
Wilson said the University could play a big role in making Kansas greener, since building are some of the biggest polluters.
"You could install occupancy censors that change the lights and temperatures depending on if someone is in the room," Wilson said. "Everyone needs to do their part, with the macro-level of the government and on the individual level."

Obama refuses public financing, hears criticism
BY RAMSEY COX rcox@kansan.com
Barack Obama announced he would not accept public financing on June 19, which was a switch from his earlier position. At the beginning of the primary season he said he would take public financing if his general election opponent did. U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the Republican presidential nominee said he would take public financing for his cam-
"It's been clear for months that Obama would opt out of public financing," said Burdett Loomis, professor of political science. "And given his fundraising prowess, why wouldn't he?"
Public financing derives from a $3 voluntary check-off box on personal income tax returns. The check-off does not increase the tax payment by $3; it just directs the $3 to the presidential fund. Obama is the first major-party candidate to turn down the government funds for a general
election since the program started in 1976.
Obama would have received $84 million after the Democratic National Convention at the end of August, which would have given him more than $30 million to spend per month before Election Day.
But Obama's decision could open him to criticism from Democrats.
David Greenwald, Overland Park senior and McCain supporter, said he thought McCain should attack Obama on this issue.
"It seems disingenuous when you're someone who talks about change and hope, but then you pull this flip-flop," Greenwald said.
Obama's decision doesn't seem to have affected his support from students.
Tanner Willbanks, Lawrence junior and president of KU Amnesty International, gave money to the Obama campaign during the primaries and plans to give money again during the general election if Willbanks has the money.
Obama said he decided not to take public financing because the system fails to account for spending by independent groups on things like attack ads.
"The campaign finance rules are undergoing changes both in the courts and in practice, which is always the case," Loomis said. "In the end, money is like water — it will flow where it can."

Maintenance alters campus, bus routes
BY SACHIKO MIYAKAWA
smiyakawa@kansan.com
The repairs of steam tunnels on campus altered the KU bus routes and closed part of Javahawk Boulevard and Mississippi Street this summer.
The construction zones in front of Watson Library and on Mississippi Street allow construction crews to do maintenance on the deteriorated steam tunnels, which carry heat from the power plant to the majority of campus buildings.
Jill Jess, University spokeswoman, said most of the steam tunnels were installed in the past century. She said the tunnels had not been maintained as they needed to be because of a lack of funding, but thanks to the Kansas Legislature, the University

received $8.9 million for the repairs. The project began this summer and will continue until 2010.
Jess said the construction zones created two major road closures until Aug. 11. Mississippi Street is closed from Memorial Drive to Jayhawk Boulevard and Jayhawk Boulevard is closed between Mississippi Street and Lilac Lane. KU buses detour
down Memorial Drive because of the closure.
"Jayhawk Boulevard is the heart of campus and the main artery for campus," Jess said. "But this is also vital work that has to be done, so we tried to do it in summer when there are fewer people around."
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of Parking and Transit, said parking was not available on the north side of Memorial Drive. He said this should not create much inconvenience because it took away fewer than 20 spots.
Jim Modig, director of design and construction management, said the project had been one of the University's top maintenance priorities because many of the tunnels
were old and deteriorating structurally. He also said the tunnels did not meet current safety codes.
"We have had some minor problems down there," Modig said. "We have been very fortunate not to a have major incident."
Modig said the steam tunnels carried electricity, communication lines and steam to the campus buildings.
Many campus buildings, including the Kansas Union, Fraser Hall and the scholarship halls, rely on steam to warm water and heat the buildings. He said the buildings would not be able to heat up in winter without a proper maintenance of the pipes.

Florida offshore drilling discovers new support
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — Oil companies once viewed drilling in the deep waters off Florida as cost prohibitive. Politicians feared even the slightest sign of support would be career suicide.
Not any more. Record crude oil prices are fueling support for oil and natural gas exploration off the nation's shores. In Florida, movement was underway even before President Bush called on Congress last month to lift a federal moratorium that's barred new offshore drilling since 1981.
The early activity here stems from a 2006 Congressional compromise that allows drilling on 8.3 million acres more than 125 miles off the Panhandle — an area that had been covered by the moratorium, which was enacted out of environmental concerns. In exchange,
the state got a no-drilling buffer along the rest of its beaches.
Florida may turn out to be a prelude for other coastal states. If oil or natural gas deposits are found in the newly opened region, experts say it could further the push to explore other once-protected areas everywhere. It also could be a rallying point for critics, who say the new exploration isn't a license to expand exploration.
With gas topping $4 a gallon, recent polls show Americans, Floridians included, more supportive of drilling in protected areas. Some politicians — including Gov. Charlie Crist — have switched sides.
Orangutan population declines at 'alarming rate'
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Orangutan numbers have declined sharply on the only two islands where they still live in the wild and they could become the first great
ape species to go extinct if urgent action isn't taken, a new study says.
The declines in Indonesia and Malaysia since 2004 are mostly because of illegal logging and the expansion of palm oil plantations, Serge Wich, a scientist at the Great Ape Trust in Iowa, said on Saturday
The survey found the orangutan population on Indonesia's Sumatra island dropped almost 14 percent since 2004, Wich said. It also concluded that the populations on Borneo island, which is shared by Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia, have fallen by 10 percent. Researchers only surveyed areas of Borneo that are in Indonesia and Malaysia.
In their study, Wich and his 15 colleagues said the declines in Borneo were occurring at an "alarming rate"but that they were most concerned about Sumatra, where the numbers show the population is in "rapid decline."

Light bulb recycling gets new location
BY BRIEUN SCOTT bscott@kansan.com
Megan Vaniman said she was excited when she found out about what she could do with her compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs.
"I had no idea that light bulbs could be recycled," Vaniman, Kensal, N.D., senior said.
Students and residents can now begin recycling CFL bulbs at Home Depot, 1910 W. 31st St. Until last week, people could take old CFL bulbs to the City of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling.
Vaniman said she started using fluorescent light bulbs last year and she didn't know what she would do with them.
"I would have looked into it and found out what I could do with them instead of throwing them out," Vaniman said.
Jamie Pealer, merchandise manager at Home Depot, said that the Lawrence store gave the community an opportunity to dispose of the light bulbs properly. He said the decision to recycle was a response to the national community.
"Going green is in, so we're taking a big step." Pealer said.
About 670 million fluorescent light bulbs are thrown away each year in the U.S. The discarded light bulbs can release two to four tons of mer-
curry into the environment according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
"The gas in the bulbs is harmful to the environment, so you want to try to keep them from breaking," Pealer said.
According to the EPA, people should always recycle CFL bulbs because they contained toxic chemicals. Each CFL bulb contains between 3.5 to 15 milligrams of mercury.
People are encouraged to recycle CFL bulbs at their local hazardous waste facilities in order to reuse and keep them from breaking.
The Lawrence Home Depot has containers inside the store where patrons can discard the bulbs. Pealer said it would be a normal procedure where people could come in and recycle them.
He said although the store hadn't received a good response from the community yet, he said he hoped that feedback would pick up once the permanent bins were delivered.
Matt Hammon, Seattle senior, said that he always recycled in his hometown because it gave him a chance to keep the environment clean and to not waste resources.
Pealer said that the new CFL recycling bins at Home Depot should eventually have a good response from the community.

PROFILE
Scholarship recipient reveals South African truths
BY GRETCHENGIER
ggier@kansan.com
Chris De La Cruz mentions a feeling of pride about representing the University while living abroad in South Africa.
De La Cruz, Coffeyville senior, said he was, quite possibly, the only Kansan in the entire country, making him quite the novelty. But De La Cruz also speaks of the poverty in South Africa: a wide-scale problem that people back home couldn't imagine that debilitated every corner of society.
"Homeless people sleep on the sidewalks on every block that isn't busy at all hours of the day," De La Cruz said. "White people can't move in this city without being accosted by beggars at every turn."
De La Cruz returned home this June after spending a semester as one of three Benjamin A. Gilman International scholars from the University last semester. The Gilman scholarship offers grants to students of limited financial means to pursue study abroad with the intent of preparing American students to assume significant roles in an interdependent, global economy.
While studying at the University of Cape Town, De La Cruz volunteered with an organization called SHAWCO, Student Health and
Wellness Community Organization, and taught business skills to local South Africans. He called the program a farce and depressing, saying he was inevitably getting more out of it than the participants.
"I taught very basic entrepreneurship skills to a room full of people who desperately need to make some loot," De La Cruz said. "Their goal is to write a business plan. Any failure on my part can be absolutely devastating. It's a heavy burden."
De La Cruz said that, optimistically, the future of South Africa was pointed toward a positive future. The country's monetary currency is making a rebound, there's a growing black middle class and the government has improved the educational system on issues of race.
"The part of me that is dedicated to social progress wanted to act more than I was able to," De La Cruz said. "The South African situation gives me a vision of what our parents and grandparents experienced in the 1940s and 1950s and after the Civil Rights Movement. All of these struggles and frustrations have contributed greatly to my perspective on American race issues."
As an African and African-American Studies major, De La Cruz wanted to gain a political perspective about South Africa that he felt many Americans avoid. He read books and texts that were outside of the Western
discourse and explored Marxist thought, which he said was given intellectual respect in South Africa.
"I miss how intellectually lateral I was allowed to be with my thoughts and research," De La Cruz said. I'm still trying to come to terms with everything I discussed and thought while I was there. I may not come to terms with it until I go back to South Africa."
Aavril Hernandez, Edgerton senior, was also chosen as a Gilman scholar to study in Costa Rica. She felt a great sense of pride representing the University, and said living abroad made her think in different ways, broadening her understanding of life in a lesser developed country.
"They lack a lot of technology tools that we take for granted in the States," Hernandez said. "I really appreciate now that we have access to so much technology and how lucky we are to have such good fountains of information in our libraries."
Hernandez said she encountered negative stereotypes of American women. At her orientation, the Tico assistants presented their stereotypes of Americans. They thought people from the U.S. were rich, ignorant, self-centered, agreed with George Bush, and that American women were promiscuous.
"It was very important to me that I represented myself with dignity," Hernandez said, "and even though

the U.S. tends to have a bad reputation with the international community, I wanted to be someone that made them think differently about what they see in the media."
Hernandez would not have been able to study abroad without the scholarship, and will share her experience with high school students to promote International Education and Awareness when she returns.
Nancy Chaison, associate director of study abroad, said the Gilman

program seeks to assist students choosing non-traditional locations of study abroad, especially areas outside of Western Europe and Australia. Students applying for the scholarship need be receiving a Pell Grant, and should have high financial need.

Jayhawk dirty talk
My friend told me that she recently slept with a new boy.
She said that when finished, he rolled over, and said something like, "You gotta big one. Hehehe."
She was mortified. Why would a boy say such a thing? And what was he referring to, the inside or the out? Doesn't that mean that he's just too small?
-Labia Majora
Dear Big Lips,
BY PETER SOTO
Of course she was mortified. If a girl told me that I had a big one after sex, I would be too. Wait, no I wouldn't and that should just illustrate a difference between boys and girls that this guy obviously didn't grasp. I have yet to find a girl who enjoys being told that a part of her anatomy is large compared to the rest of her body. Except maybe breasts, but even in that case, there are very few ways to give that compliment in a tactful way.
As far as questioning his size goes, I don't know if that is the case. During research for a column I wrote a few weeks back about penis size, I came across a study concerning the size of a woman's vagina depending on her race. There was a small correlation between race and length of labia. This particular study found that African American women had larger labias than other women. If your friend does happen to be an African American woman, tell her that she shouldn't be freaked out if she has a little more down stairs than other women this guy has been with.
In a way, it sounds like she was more woman than he was used to, and that's all right.
The size of internal genitalia doesn't really matter a whole lot cosmetically. You can't really see it unless you get up there with a flashlight like some sort of cervix-seeking spelunker. The vagina, just like the penis, can double in size when its owner is aroused.
Maybe this failed compliment wasn't directed toward her. He could have just been informing your friend that she just received a large penis. Narcissism, just like a bad compliment, is not cool.
At least he didn't say something really terrible like, "You now have the clap, hehehe."
Just the same, his big comment was out of line. Tell your friend that she has nothing to worry about other than a taste for men who are not the most eloquent and tactful speakers.
Peter is a Shawnee sophomore in journalism.

Going green's hidden agenda lies in the cost
I am by no means a giant environmentalist pansy like the people you can find a dime a dozen around Lawrence. In fact, I hope the damn dirty hippies die in a very nongreen way, such as inhalation of too many car exhaust fumes. But I have found myself taking up some green actions here in Philadelphia.
I still believe that global warming is extremely overhyped. I don't believe it's that important either — I, the most important human being outside Jesus Christ, won't be around by the time the exaggerated harm begins. But I can now confirm that smog actually exists. If you look out at Philadelphia in the early morning, it's that hazy gray cloud looming over Center City. Smog is still better than smug, though (If you don't know what I'm referencing, watch the South Park
One of the more notable hab-
episode).
Really, I'm more doing things that are green out of necessity because I'm cheap. For example, I take the subway or walk to work in Philly. This is mostly because I don't have my car with me, and gas is unaffordable. I'll easily take a 45-minute walk to work and a $1.45 subway trip back, thank you. I'm also buying less Styrofoam and other disposable plates and cups. It's much easier to buy two of each and wash them constantly, although sometimes the grape juice taste lingers when I go to drink milk. In my apartment in Lawrence and home in Humboldt, we used the windows and fans instead of the air conditioner when possible. Here, I don't care, though. I don't pay utility bills on my dorm room.
its I've picked up on is recycling paper. Newsrooms should be some of the leaders in paper recycling. We go through lots of paper, even beyond what gets put out on the streets every day. And it's easy to do. Walk 20 feet to the recycling bin and throw all newsprint or printer paper in it.
By the way, does anyone feel like having a huge car wash in the middle of Lawrence and dump the soap into the Kansas River just to piss off the whiny-ass, self-righteous environmentalists in the city? It'll be fun.
I have no intention telling others to start going green. For me, it's just a cost-cutter. But if you want to save some cash, greening it may help a little.

"A campus in some ways serves as a microcosm of a city," said Stacey White, director of academic program for the KU Center for Sustainability. "We have our own transportation, residences and dining. Campuses function as labs to explore what works well for sustainability."
With the time and dedication of students and faculty, the center has promoted several green efforts around campus, such as the planting of a rain garden, a compost study and a study to reduce paper waste.
DINING SERVICES
The KU Dining Services has partnered with the Center for Sustainability to make students' dining experiences more green on campus.
"Dining services on most college campuses is one of the largest users of our resources through food and supplies," said Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of residential dining. "So we want to be proactive in making sure we are establishing the best practices as they relate to sustainability efforts
to make a positive impact on the campus and the community."
The Market, in the Kansas Union, features MarketFresh foods, which are all-natural and organic. Nona Golledge, director of dining services, said that dining services looked into establishing partnerships with local food markets as long as prices remain affordable. Last April, Mrs.E's dining hall eliminated the use of trays for one day in an attempt to reduce food waste. Kidwell said in addition to a decrease in food waste, the amount of paper thrown away was significantly reduced as well.
Golledge said dining services wanted to have more trials next semester and look into eliminating the use of trays completely across campus.
"We want to give students ideas of what they can do to work toward being more green in their lives," Golledge said.
The dining centers supply the transportation department with used oil for biodiesel testing. Golledge said the centers were starting to also supply peanut oil to the transportation department for additional testing.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM
Though the Environmental Stewardship Program, the University's recycling program, which was established in the 1990s, the University began recycling aluminum and glass

by Memorial Stadium in the 1970s. Most buildings on campus have blue recycling bins in which to deposit mixed paper, newspaper, aluminum
cans and plastic bottles.
"There is a tremendous amount of material generated by the day-to-day operations of a university," said Celeste Hoins, administrative manager for ESP. "I think we divert several hundred
tons of material a year and otherwise that would be straining local resources for disposal if we didn't."
One year ago, the ESP began a surplus recycling program. The program collects unwanted property and furniture on campus, such as old desks, bookshelves and chairs. The items are either reused somewhere

Hoins said that about 1,500 items had been reused on campus
Hoins said that not only was recycling good for the environment, but it's also good for the economy.
or donated, which amounts to more than 15 tons. Fifteen tons that would have ended up in a landfill.
"Items that end up in our bins do turn into products that can be used everyday," she said. "Your waste has to go somewhere and if we can capture it and put it back in the system it creates more jobs; it creates more opportunities for creativity and invention."
KU ON WHEELS
With the rising cost of fuel, using public transportation is not only a method to be green, but also a method to save a couple bucks. Last year, almost 6,500 students purchased bus passes.
In March, KU on Wheels purchased five new buses. Danny Kaiser, assistant director of Parking and Transit, said the new buses had the most up-to-date technology and complied with low-emissions standards. Kaiser said that the department would buy an average of two to three new low-emissions buses every year. For the past two years, buses have been fueled on 5 percent biodiesel fuel.
"We are trying to broaden people's perspective," Kaiser said. "It's role modeling behavior. We are teaching students alternatives to what they may have grown up with so they know there are more choices for their future."

The Multidisciplinary Research Facility uses more British thermal units per square foot than any other building on campus. Steve Spurgeon, director of communications for Chevron Energy Solutions, said it was normal for a research lab to use the most energy because of the high powered equipment.
MULTIDISCPLINARY RESEARCH FACILITY
The least green building on campus is the Multidisciplinary Research Facility, 2030 Becker Dr., behind the Park and Ride lot on the northwest side of 23rd and Iowa streets.
The facility uses more British thermal units (Btu) per square foot, 430,106, than any building on campus. A Btu equals the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. Btu measures both the amounts of natural gas and electricity a building uses.
That number is three times what the U.S. Department of Energy determined as normal for a university building.
The fact that the facility uses this much energy might suggest the building wastes energy, but Steve Spurgeon, director of communications for Chevron Energy Solutions, said it was normal for a research lab to use the most energy because of the high-powered equipment.
"You can't change the nature of a building;" Spurgeon said.
The University signed a 20-year energy performance contract with Chevron in 2001. The University hired Chevron as a way to make
the campus more energy efficient, which in turn would lower its energy bills and save the University money.
The performance contract consisted of four phases. First, Chevron conducted an ener-
not practical.
"In some cases you would have to spend $2 million to save $100,000,"
There were no mystery buildings. We were not pulling our hair wondering why a building used so much energy as it did."
Spurgeon said the age and construction of each building determined what sort of equipment Chevron could install. He said the older the building, the more difficult it was to fix and sometimes, it was
The next phase was the construction phase during which Chevron installed new equipment such as more efficient heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units and fluorescent light bulbs in campus buildings.
gy audit of 85 campus buildings. During the audit, Chevron looked at each building to find where they wasted energy and what could be done to improve energy efficiency.
STEVE SPURGEON Director of communications for Chevron Energy Solutions
Spurgeon said.
A f t e r Chevron completed construction, the commissioning phase began. During this phase the contractors made sure everything installed during construction
Chevron is now in the monitoring phase, which began in June 2004, and it provides a quarterly report of the 85 campus buildings it monitors.
was performing correctly. This process lasted roughly three years.
The results showed that the Multidisciplinary Research Facility used the most energy, but other campus buildings near the top of the list included Simmons Bioscience Laboratory, Malott Hall and Haworth Hall.
OTHER 'UNGREEN' SCIENCE BUILDINGS
These buildings were science
buildings where faculty and students conducted research and did lab work. The labs consume the energy, but as Spurgeon said the building's nature cannot be altered, so scientists must sacrifice energy in the name of scientific exploration.
Spurgeon said there were no anomalies on campus. That is Chevron did not find buildings on campus that wasted energy unnecessarily. It found buildings that could
improve efficiency,but the buildings that used the most energy had obvious reasons.
"There were no mystery buildings," Spurgeon said. "We were not pulling our hair wondering why a building used as much energy as it did."
Chevron will monitor the University's buildings until 2021. The goal for Chevron is to lower the University's energy usage as much as possible because the company makes its money based on how much the University saves on energy costs.
"We guarantee an amount before hand," Spurgeon said. "But places usually end up saving more than that."
"In some cases you would have to spend $2 million to save $100,000."
STUDENT HOUSING
The energy performance contract does not include campus housing buildings. Diana Robertson, director of the Department of Student Housing, said her department did its own maintenance and wanted to
STEVE SPURGEON Director of communications for Chevron Energy Solutions
improve energy efficiency in the dorms.
"We definitely want to incorporate green measures into our work," Robertson said.
So far the Department of Student Housing has made strides in making the
residence halls greener. Robertson said Lewis, Templin, Ellsworth and Hashinger halls, all located on Daisy Hill, installed insulated walls and double pane windows during renovation.
She said when these buildings
were constructed gas was not a concern, but now the insulation and thicker windows reduced the consumption of natural gas.
She said in the last few years, student housing maintenance began installing fluorescent light bulbs in every residence hall, but the process was not a quick fix. She said they could only put in fluorescent light bulbs once the old light bulbs burn out.
"We can't do it as fast as we wish sometimes," Robertson said.
The Department of Student Housing also provides educational meetings on a floor-by-floor basis to remind students of ways to conserve energy. Robertson said the meetings tried to remind residents of simple things such as powering down computers at night and turning off the faucet while brushing their teeth.
"Maybe instead of a 20 minute shower you can try and do it in five or 10 minutes," Robertson said.
She said the Department of Student Housing would continue to explore different methods of conserving energy in every one of its residence halls.

Fitness: Green your workouts
It's easy to make small changes to your lifestyle to be more green. Recycling, carpooling and buying products from local markets are only a few of the simple things you can do to be more eco-friendly. However, how green are you exercising? Follow these tips to green your workout routines.
1. BUY A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE
If you work out four days a week, that's almost 200 plastic bottles you'll throw away every year. Cut down on the trash by buying your own bottle.
2. GREEN YOUR OUTFIT
Buy exercise clothes made of organic cotton. The material is especially nice for exercising because it is breathable and absorbent.
3. TAKE IT OUTSIDE
walking there instead of driving as a warm-up.
Instead of using a treadmill, find a trail or a park where you can run. If you must exercise in a gym, try.

1. Use power strips.
Using power strips helps the environment and saves you money. When you turn a light off, it is completely shut off but when you have electronic gadgets, "phantom power" comes into play. Even when turned off, the TV, VCR and computer all still use electricity. This is why the little light on your computer is still on even when your computer is shut off. Plug your electronic into power strips and turn the strip off when you're not using what's plugged into them. It makes it easier and more efficient.
2. Buy fluorescent bulbs.

instantly and shed warm light, lasting 10 times as long as regular incandescent bulbs. Fluorescent bulbs are more expensive, but use 66 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs. By replacing a 100-watt incandescent bulb with a 32-watt fluorescent bulb you can save $30 in energy costs over the life of the bulb.
3. Watch the temperature.
It may seem simple, but heating and cooling account for almost half a house's energy consumption. Keep the thermostat high in warm weather and turn it down in cold weather. Each degree below 68 degrees during colder weather saves 3 to 5 percent more heating energy. Keeping your thermostat at 78 degrees in warm weather will also save energy and money. To keep cool, shade east and west windows and delay activities such as dishwashing that generate heat until the evening. Use ceiling fans as much as possible instead of air conditioners.
4. Dam your toilet.
Americans use about 100 gallons of water per day. About one-third of that water gets flushed down the
toilet. A toilet dam stops some of the water from leaving the tank when you flush. This can cut the water used by as much as 20 percent. Although the actual toilet dam is a specialty product, a "tank bank" works in the same way. This is merely a plastic bottle with a valve that keeps some of the water in your tank from getting flushed. The idea is to save water by not allowing the tank to completely empty each time you flush. No purchase is necessary; simply use an old plastic bottle from your recycling. 5. Recycle.
This may seem like a "no duh" approach to greening your house, but some households still haven't caught on to the reduce-reuse-recycle slogan. Lawrence provides an easy way to recycle right outside of Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart community recycling center provides places to recycle plastic, tin, aluminum, glass, newspaper, paper and cardboard. Sending plastic to a landfill increases greenhouse gasses.

change to show Congress that this is an issue and having their voices heard.
Q: What are some differences you have seen in the last year because of your group?
A: We have seen legislators change from not having a stance to recognizing that global warming is real. That has been one of the greatest things.

Do It Yourself:Hot Chinese tea invigorates taste buds
INDOOR
Sachiko Miyakawa/KANSAN
Chinese tea is an easy way to refresh yourself after a hot summer day.
Drinking Chinese tea is a sensory experience. You smell the fragrance while the rich taste gradually spreads in your mouth.
When the night breeze is comfortable, bring a chair and cup of hot tea to the outside. It refreshes you after a weary hot summer day.
Here are basic steps you need to take to prepare Chinese tea;
1. Gather a teapot and tea strainer. You can also use a coffee press. Choose your favorite loose leaf tea, like jasmine and woolong. You can apply the steps to Japanese green tea and hoji-cha.
2. Boil four cups of water.
3. Put one teaspoon of tea leaf into the teapot.
4. Pour a cup of hot water into the teapot. Rinse the tea leaf and pour out the water. Skip this step if it's green tea or hoji-cha.
5. Pour two cups of hot water into the teapot. Allow 30 to 60 seconds to brew. Leave it for longer if
you like a bitter taste. For the coffee press, don't press down the plunger until you finish waiting.
6. Pour the tea into a cup with the tea strainer. For the coffee press, the tea strainer is not necessary.
7. You can reuse the tea leaf up to three or four times. To do this,
repeat steps five and six.
Chinese and Japanese loose tea leaves are available at the House of Cha, 21 W. Ninth St., and The Merc, 901 Iowa St.

Recipe: Key lime pie is chillingly good
INGREDIENTS
1
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
A key lime pie is a way to overindulge this summer with a cool treat.
Kansan photo editor Mindy Ricketts uses world-renowned chef Emeril Lagasse's recipe for key lime pie.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick butter)
melted
2 (14-ounce) cans condensed milk
1 cup key lime or regular lime juice
2 whole eggs
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime zest
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, mix the graham
cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter with your hands. Press the mixture firmly into a nine-inch pie pan, and bake until brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before filling.
In a separate bowl, combine the condensed milk, lime juice, and eggs. Whisk until well blended and place the filling in the cooled pie shell. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and allow to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Once chilled, combine the sour cream and powdered sugar and spread over the top of the pie using a spatula. Sprinkle the lime zest as a garnish on top of the sour cream and serve chilled.

Music: Soothing Dwele's soulful sounds lure listeners
EWELC... SKETCHES OF A MAN
"You Won't be Lonely" and "Brandi," which features hip-hop Urbanites Slum Village, fans would definitely like the soul-sounding album.
After coming to the scene in 1998, neo-soul singer and song writer Andwele "Dwele" Gardner has crooned his way into the world of talented singers. The Detroit native's urbanite sounds and poetic lyrics give fans the fresh-on-the scene crooner who stepped out with his first album, "Subject."
Dwele shows maturity in his voice in songs like "Vain," which is about a two-timing woman. He tempts fans through a clean, smooth falsetto in "Open Your Eyes," a Bobby Caldwell oldie, and "I'm Cheatin."
Dwele's new album, "Sketches of a Man," offers fans a smooth sound of melodies and tempos. Dwele's sedate voice lures listeners into an ambiance of mellow lyrics that tells stories like in "Five Dolla Mic."
The at-heart jazz and soul sophisticate shows his talent by experimenting with different instruments throughout the album. He plays showcases his piano skills in "I'm Sorry (Wake the Musical Baby)" and gives a sample of the bass in "Love Ultra."

Books: 'Hidden' reveals needed world changes
The Hidden Connections - A Science for Sustainable Living by Fritjof Capra
This book is not light reading. Capra connects global capitalism with the origins of life, and even includes a chapter on spirituality. He proposes that life cannot continue unless we begin practicing sustainability especially within businesses and advertising. Using an idea called complex theory, Capra explains that our work environments mimic processes in nature, and the current methods of massproduction and marketing does not allow for the connectivity of life that we need to survive.
Capra says that, "As a living organism responds to environmental influences with structural changes, these changes will n turn alter its future behavior. Living structure is always a record of prior development." Because a living organism can respond to its environment,

Cancer diagnosis renews faith in graduate
BY ASHER FUSCO afusco@kansan.com
On a mid-August morning nearly three years ago, cramps shot through jeffYoung'sstom-
jerf roings stomach. He headed for the hospital assuming he had a bad case of food poisoning.
Four days later, Abby Young spent her birthday in the hospital buried under a doctor's grim verdict: A colonoscopy had revealed a mass

NATIONAL CHAMPION
in her husband's colon. It was probably cancerous.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
The next week, doctors removed the mass that blocked Jeff's digestive system. A closer look revealed the lining of his stomach was dotted with what looked like a shotgun spray of cancer seedlings.
"You have taught us to judge each day, not by the harvest, but by the seeds you plant."
Jeff Young holds the 2008 NCAA Championship trophy. Young spends most of his days in bed but managed to make it to downtown Lawrence in April to witness the Jayhawks win the championship.
The procedure took two lymph nodes and one-third of Jeff's colon, and gave a diagnosis and a prognosis: The 28 year-old had stage four or terminal -colon cancer.
all the hard work was paying off, and this happened," Jeff said. "Our income literally went to zero overnight."
Cancer put the brakes on the couple's life. Abby's former employer cut her loose less than one week before
LETTER FROM JEFF AND ABBY'S FRIENDS
"The journey began," Jeff said. "The ride started."
*****
Jeff and Abby were building a life together. Jeff's self-owned mortgage company was growing and Abby, a 2004 graduate, was bringing in a steady paycheck from her first job out of college. The two had just bought their first house.
"Finally we were making money.
she would have become eligible for benefits from the Family and Medical Leave Act. If Abby were eligible for FMLA benefits, she could have taken unpaid leave with the guarantee of returning to her job.
Jeff struggled with the idea of putting his life in the doctors' hands during his first round of chemotherapy. He became impatient with his lack of medical progress and unsteady financial situation.
"I started to lose faith in humanity," Jeff said. "You'd think that if people would hear that someone who is 28 just got diagnosed with terminal cancer, they'd be a little bit more like, 'Can we help you?' or, We're sorry, more than, 'You're costing us money'".
Jeff's young age worked as a handicap after his diagnosis. The couple searched for guidance, but most support groups were meant for children or senior patients. Abby said the lack of information for young people trying to live with cancer was frustrating.
*****
Bad day after bad day passed until
Jeff and Abby met a nurse named Georgenia Bowling. Georgenia's job was to tend to an infection on Jeff's stomach, but she did more than that. When the couple left for a doctor's appointment one day, Georgenia slipped them an envelope containing $50 and a note that read, "Go have a good dinner."
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Jeff Young pets his dog, Oscar. Young was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer in August and has been struggling to adjust to the changes that have resulted.
AUGUST 2004
"The three of us just clicked, and instead of a nurse-patient relationship, it was more of a friendship," Jeff said. "She was the first one who ever did anything for us."
Georgenia guided Jeff's treatment and helped Abby find helpful resources on the Internet. Abby found a more cooperative employer. She works for the state of Kansas, and is allowed leave to take care of Jeff.
"Little things just started happening," Jeff said. "All of a sudden people you thought were negative were giving everything and bending over backward. At that point, something changed in me, personally."
Georgenia was just the beginning. People started noticing,started helping with the little things to make the bad days better.
The couple returned home one day to find their next door neighbor cleaning and repairing their house's gutters.
April 7, 2008, was one of the good days. Just one week after a doctor recommended Jeff enter hospice care for people who are close to death, the couple went to a sports bar to watch the Kansas basketball team win the national championship. Afterward, Abby wheeled Jeff down Massachusetts Street in celebration with tens of thousands of fellow Jayhawk fans. Now a basketball signed by the championship team serves as the centerpiece of Jeff's Jayhawk-centric basement.
June 7 was another good day. Some of the couple's friends set up a poker tournament to help raise funds for Jeff's treatment. Area stores donated prizes such as a flat screen television, a barbeque grill and an iPod for a raffle.
"When people step up to the plate to help even though they don't know you that well, it's breathtaking to see and experience," Abby said. "You can't express how much it helps."
One day the next week, Cici's Pizza donated 25 percent of its profits to Jeff and Abby. Applebee's followed suit.
*****
Because it is commonly connected with old age, colon cancer isn't
considered a young peoples' disease. According to the American Cancer Society, less than one percent of colon cancer diagnoses occur in people aged 39 or younger. But considering more than 110,000 cases occurred nationwide in 2007, it is clear colon cancer does affect young Americans.
"Most of our patients are 50 or older, but unfortunately we do see it happen to younger people once in a while," Lawrence Memorial Hospital Clinical Coordinator Julie Tuley said. "It often happens when people get into their 30s."
Abby has become a part of the young cancer community, visiting Web sites such as www.youngcancer-spouses.com and www.planetcancer.org to connect with and offer advice to others dealing with similar situations.
"There's a whole community out there," Abby said. "It's more prevalent than people think, but it's not being diagnosed because the most common symptom for colon cancer is no symptom."
Jeff did his part to help by insisting
his family members each undergo a cancer screening. As a result of the tests, doctors found and removed early stages of colon cancer in Jeff's 23 year-old sister, Kristina.
Touched by Jeff and Abby's optimism and actions, their friends sent them a letter that read in part, "You have taught us to judge each day, not by the harvest, but by the seeds you plant."
*****
Jeff Young spends the bad days in bed, sedated.
On a good day, the couple might head to the park with their dogs, Oscar and Jennie. Or Abby might take push Jeff, in his wheelchair, up and down Massachusetts Street.
"Everyday life has changed in every aspect," Abby said. "But the things that aren't controlled by the cancer we keep very close and dear."
Without many days guaranteed, it's all about making them good days.

Food: Lost your faith in fast food? Five Guys is a treat. Oh, and save room for the fries.
10
Five Guys Burgers and Fries changed my opinion about adding more fast-food chains to a city loyal to its locally owned eateries.
When I heard that a new fast food restaurant opened in Lawrence, I figured I didn't need to be excited. Spangles arrived two years ago, and after all the hype, I didn't think Lawrence gained anything extraordinary.
Five Guys' pleasantly surprised me with what I would call the best fast food cheeseburgers in town, and the fries do not disappoint either.
The place was packed when I walked in, which I attributed to the buzz that had been flying around town about how Five Guys is great
The menu was thin, which, in this instance, thin meant simple. I had to choose only between a regular size burger or a small burger, which Five Guys calls the "Little Burger," and then decide which of the 15 free toppings I wanted to add to my circus of calories.
I ordered the regular sized
cheeseburger and I made a mistake. At Five Guys, a regular cheeseburger is a double cheeseburger. It was delicious, but my stomach ran out of room, and I still had a 16 ounce cup full of fries to eat. I should have known the portions would be big after I paid $9.50 for a burger, fries and a drink, but I was excited and not worried about pinching pennies.
My final analysis is Five Guys
serves the best fast food burger in town, but I didn't appreciate being tricked into a double cheeseburger when the "Little Burger;" would have been plenty.
That aside, I will go back and I recommend anyone to give Five Guys Burgers and Fries a try.

Movies: Smith's latest a 'fresh' take on superhero films
"Hancock" doesn't hurt Will Smith's reputation as one of the most talented — and frustrating — actors in the business. Smith shines in the starring role, but could've chosen his scripts better: "Hancock" is average, and Smith should be making above average films every time out.
Smith plays Hancock, a misunderstood and alcoholic superhero who rehabilitates his image with help from public relations guru played by Jason Bateman. Hancock's journey to respectability hits a snag when he runs into a former romantic flame and fellow superhero played by Charlize Theron.
HANCOCK
The movie's script is far from a masterpiece, but the actors work wonders with what they were handed. Smith turns potentially flat jokes into decent gags with strong timing and delivery, and the Bateman-Theron combination adds some emotional depth to the film.
Director Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) hits a home run with his choice of music. The original score is better than most, and its melancholy tone fits the movie, which is more
reflective than destructive.
"Hancock" isn't the traditional superhero story. There isn't a villain and there isn't gratuitous action. It's an entertaining 90 minutes, but it's a shame Smith isn't working on something better.

BRIEF
Cool weather a factor in Kansas’ wheat harvest
WICHITA — Woodston farmer Jerry McReynolds usually cuts his own wheat fields.
But not this year. After a volatile spring of heavy rains, widespread hail and tornadoes, McReynolds wanted to get his crop cut quickly.
“We had some pretty decent wheat and I wanted to get it done. ... I decided to bite the bullet,” McReynolds said.
Across Kansas, the winter wheat harvest this year seemed even more urgent than usual. After wet weather delayed the start of the harvest, growers were especially eager to bring in the crop as prices hovered above $8 a bushel.
By Monday, 79 percent of the Kansas winter wheat crop had been harvested, Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported. That compares with 36 percent just a week ago.
Usually by this time of the year, 89 percent of the state’s crop is in the bin, but cool weather in the spring slowed its maturity. The latest Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service report estimated 98 percent of the state’s wheat is now ripe for harvest.

GAME DAY GARBAGE
Rock, chalk...recycle?
Center for Sustainability wants fans to improve wasteful habits
BY JESSE TEMPLE jtemple@kansan.com
When the people disperse from Memorial Stadium on Saturday evenings after a game day, the area takes on the feel of a ghost town. A venue inhabited by 50,000 screaming football fans just hours earlier falls silent as the warm autumn night approaches.
The fans are always sure to leave a reminder of their occupancy, though. It can be seen in the bottles and trash strewn inside and outside the stadium. For the University's greening agencies, the goal is to get those bottles and trash in the proper place before it gets tossed aside.
Stacey White is the director of the academic program for the Center for Sustainability. She said helping fans understand the importance of recycling was at its toughest at football games, but it could be done.
"It doesn't take much for them to think, 'You know it's not that hard to recycle,'" White said. "If your surroundings influence you to recycle, you will. And right now, we don't have that at sporting events. There are a lot of other things going on at the games."
White said fans tend not to notice the recycling bins strategically placed around Memorial Stadium. In order to raise awareness on the importance of recycling, White offered a few ideas. She suggested emphasizing sustainability by promoting a tailgater of the game who recycled. That could be shown on the big screen at football games. She also said the coaches of the University's athletics

Tuesday-Saturday: 2pm to 8pm
teams could take on a more active role in the community emphasizing reducing, reusing and recycling.
"If people respect and admire them, they might be encouraged to become more sustainable," White said.
As program manager for recycling on campus, Celeste Hoins said she had actually seen a lot of change for the better during the past decade. Despite the mess that can sometimes occur at a football game, she said going green was becoming more mainstream. With the help of the Environmental Stewardship Program, Hoins said recycling collections in coaches' offices was now common practice. There are also collections from Allen Fieldhouse and the Wagnon Student-Athlete Center. Facilities Operations has even built a processing facility for bailing all plastic and aluminum fibers taken from game sites.
The University has taken other steps to go green at sporting events as well. Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director of KU Dining Services, said the University has looked into using products that were biodegradable and better for the environment.
"We are seeing an impressive increase by the major disposable paper companies introducing new product lines," Kidwell said. "We are slowly changing over to biodegradable items based on durability, availability, cost effectiveness and applicability to our customers' needs."

Hoins, who has three student workers clean up on Sunday mornings after football games, said recycling containers were strategically placed around Memorial Stadium on game days and in some of the tailgating parking lots to help alleviate litter issues. While the setup isn't perfect, it does help cut down on litter. She said a detailed study should be done to find out more about where most fan traffic occurs on game days to try improving recycling even more.
As for other campus sporting events, Hoins said there were about a dozen containers located around the concourse in Allen Fieldhouse, but no such recycling options set up for either volleyball or baseball games.
"The biggest opportunity is growing the infrastructure and making it more convenient for the fans to recycle," Hoins said. "I think they're seeking it out, but certainly we can, as a University, make it more convenient for the fans."

RENOVATION
Football facility uses grass roof philosophy
METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
The new football facility's roof is made partially out of actual grass. Chris Howard, associate athletics director, said that this helped conserve energy and preserved the appearance of Campanile Hill.
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
The University and the Athletics Department ran into an obstacle while planning the construction of the Anderson Family Football Complex.
It wasn't a money issue. Nope, the department had raised more than $30 million for the project. What the University struggled figuring out was how to build the 80,000 square-foot complex while still keeping the beauty of Campanile Hill intact.
"The hill is much more important than football," Brad Nachtigal, assistant athletics director, said.
Along came a green solution. Warren Corman, University architect, said an architectural firm suggested building a portion of the facility underground and planting grass on its roof.
With the weight room set to be the biggest room in the complex at nearly 20,000 square-feet, Corman knew it could be constructed underground. Problem solved.
"There's a lot of benefits from being underground but most people don't want to live underground," Corman said. "But in a weight room, there's no need for windows anyway."
The roof above the weight room was built about four times stronger than a normal roof. Eight inches of
sand and a couple more inches of soil rest on top of it to feed the grass. Irrigation lines also weave through the roof so the grass can be watered.
Corman said the complexity and muscle of the roof made it more expensive to build but that it would save the University money in the long run.
Because soil stayed at a constant temperature of 55 degrees the whole year, Corman said the weight room wouldn't have to be heated or cooled as much as normal rooms. He estimated the green roof would save the University $20,000 per year.
tents on it."
On game days, fans will be able to roam on it freely.
And, most importantly to Corman, the grass roof will blend in perfectly with the rest of the hill. People will even walk over the grass without ever knowing football players are hard at work 24 feet below.
"It is going to be used for tailgating, frisbee, whatever you want," Corman said. "The only thing we will prohibit is we won't let people drive long steel stakes through it and set
The only concern surrounding the roof is the possibility of it leaking. With so many irrigation lines running through the roof, a major leak seems likely to occur at some point.
"We really worked hard to maintain the integrity of the hill," Chris Howard, associate athletics director, said.
The grass will be treated the same as it is everywhere else on campus. In addition to being watered regularly, it will be mowed.
But Corman said he was confident
the University wouldn't have to deal with that problem. He got reassurance from other architects.
"We had experts design it from around the country and they said it won't leak." Corman said.
Corman said the University had
wanted to build an environmentally friendly building for years. Stationing a quarter of the Anderson Family Football Complex under the hill provided the perfect opportunity.

Texas A&M is No.1 Big 12 football venue
5. FOLSOM FIELD UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
The Buffaloes' stadium isn't any more spectacular than every other Big 12 football stadium. Folsom Field, however, benefits from a beautiful backdrop with the Rocky Mountains overlooking the venue.
4. MEMORIAL STADIUM UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
Few venues in the country are more intimidating than Memorial Stadium, which is filled with 81,000 Cornhusker fans on game day. The team, however, hasn't lived up to its high expectations recently and the program has gone through three head coaches in five years.
3. GAYLORD FAMILY OKLAHOMA MEMORIAL STADIUM, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA
The six Sooner home games are practically national holidays for fans every year. Surrounded by die-hard college football enthusiasts, Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial
Stadium has an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the country.
2. DARRELL K. ROYAL-TEXAS MEMORIAL STADIUM, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
The Longhorns pack more fans into their stadium than any other Big 12 school. The stadium is also accompanied by the best football facility in the conference and the "Godzillatron," one of the biggest video screens in America at 55 feet tall and 134 feet wide.
1.KYLE FIELD TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY
It's not the biggest or most fancy stadium in the conference but it's the most passionate. Kyle Field is the only venue in the Big 12 that could pass as a Southeastern Conference football team's stadium with its noise level. Aggie fans literally make the entire place shake before games when they chant the "Aggie War Hymn."

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS Nadal beats Federer takes Wimbledon crown
WIMBLEDON, England — With darkness enveloping Centre Court and the clock showing 9:15 p.m., Rafael Nadal watched as Roger Federer's errant forehand settled into the net, ending what might have been the greatest men's final on the greatest stage in tennis.
With that, Nadal flopped onto his back on the worn-out lawn as champion of Wimbledon for the first time and conqueror of the five-time winner and grass-court master.
After five riveting sets and 4 hours, 48 minutes of play, there was a changing of the guard at Wimbledon on Sunday when Nadal held off Federer's stirring comeback to win 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7.
"It's impossible to explain what I felt in that moment." Nadal said after receiving the winner's trophy from the Duke of Kent. "Just very, very happy to win this title. For me, (it) is a dream to play in this tournament. But to win, I never imagined something like this."
Nadal now has five career grand-slam titles to Federer's 12.
The next grand-slam event is the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, NY, in late August and early September.
Sisters rule at Wimbledon Venus handles Serena
WIMBLEDON, England — Venus Williams won her fifth Wimbledon singles title Saturday, beating younger sister Serena Williams 7-5, 6-4 in the final.
Defending champion Venus is 5-2 in Wimbledon finals, losing only to Serena in 2002 and '03. The win at the All England Club gave Venus her seventh major title.
The match was the seventh Grand Slam final between the American sisters,with Serena leading 5-2. They are now 8-8 overall.
CC, say your goodbyes; Sabathia to Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE — Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner CC Sabathia was traded Monday from the Cleveland Indians to the Milwaukee Brewers for four prospects.
Sabathia, eligible for free agency after the season, went 19-7 with a 3.21 ERA last season and gives the Brewers another power pitcher to pair with Ben Sheets as Milwaukee tries to make the playoffs for the first time since 1982.
Sabathia will make two starts before the All-Star break — Tuesday against Colorado and Sunday against Cincinnati. Both are home games.
Milwaukee sent Cleveland left fielder Matt LaPorta, pitchers Rob Bryson and Zach Jackson and a player to be named.
Track star falls at trials loses spot in 200 meters
EUGENE, Ore. — Tyson Gay accelerated through the first curve. Then, he started flying.
Not in the figurative sense,but in an all-too-real way a shocking sprawl to the ground that cost America's best sprinter an Olympic spot in the 200 meters and made him look like less than a sure thing, health-wise at least,with the Beijing Games five weeks away.
Gay suffered what his manager called a severe cramp in his left hamstring at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials Saturday and had to be carted off the track. He was at his hotel later, being treated with ice.
"It was just one of those things," Gay said in a statement released through USA Track and Field.
Gay already has qualified for the Olympics in the 100 meters, but his chances at doubling are gone. Now, the nervous wait begins to see if it was, indeed, just a cramp, and how that affects his training over the next month.

SPORTS BRIEF
China scrambles to finish preparation for Olympics
The government needs to meet its pledge to deliver clean air in one of the world's most polluted cities,
BEIJING — With one month to go before the Olympics open on Aug.8, China's work is hardly complete.
and must finish two new subway lines and a railway line. The 31 venues in Beijing are ready, and most have been for months.
But the most difficult promise to keep for the authoritarian government might be allowing reporters—as many as 30,000 are expected—to work freely as they have in other Olympics.

"When a man wants to murder a tiger, he calls it sport; when the tiger wants to murder him, he calls it ferocity. The distinction between crime and justice is no greater."
George Bernard Shaw
fact of the week
Tigers prey primarily on wild boar (Sus scrofa) and other swine, and medium to large deer such as chital (Axis axis), red deer (Cervus elaphus), and sambar (C. unicolor). Where they occur together, tigers also hunt gaur (Bos frontalis), a huge wild cattle. Tigers also kill domestic animals such as cows and goats, and occasionally kill people.

Truman impersonator to present at Dole
The Dole Institute of Politics will play host to a free event Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. "Words to the Wise from Harry S. Truman," will feature Neil Johnson, historian and interpreter. Johnson will impersonate former President Truman.
Johnson will answer audience questions as if he were Truman.
"We're guaranteed a lively question-and-answer session after Niel Johnson's well-researched Truman persona takes over," said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute. "Obviously, it's the closest we'll ever get to conversing with such a historical figure."
Johnson is regarded as a Truman expert because he was an archivist and oral historian at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence, Missouri and he authored "Power, Money and Women: Words to the Wise from Harry S. Truman."

ALCOHOL
Provost rejects proposal to sell beer at Jaybowl
BY DEEPA SAMPAT
dsampat@kansan.com
Jaybowl patrons will not be able to sip a beer while bowling, despite a proposal passed by the Memorial Union Corporation Board last semester.
Xpect
The proposal for cereal malt beverage sales in the Jaybowl was recently rejected by Provost Richard Lariviere.
Trent Overbey, assistant recreation coordinator for Kansas Memorial Unions, helps LeeAnn Shaw and her son Mason, 3, at Jaybowl on Tuesday afternoon.

"Given the social issues regarding alcohol and the serious nature of alcohol abuse among college students, it is not in the University's best interest to resume the sales of alcohol in the Kansas Union," Lariviere said in a brief memo to the board.
surprised by the Provost's decision but was happy to hear a final decision. She said the proposal was a way to show students they could drink socially without getting intoxicated.
Aly Rodee, member of the board and Wichita senior, said she wasn't
"Drinking isn't a horrible thing," Rodee said. "You can drink one or two beers and be responsible. I guess he didn't see it that way."
The proposal would have allowed students at least 21 years old to purchase 3.2 percent alcohol beer, which is a lower alcohol content beer than sold in liquor stores. Students would have been limited to two beers. Jaybowl employees would have scanned students' IDs and given those at least 21 years old a wristband to prevent underage drinking.
Lariviere carefully looked at the proposal and considered several factors in his decision.
"He thought the proposal was well prepared and thoughtful," Bretz said. "He acknowledged they looked at the issue in great detail."
Lynn Bretz, director of University communications, said Provost
Bretz said in making his decision, the Provost also took into account that the Jaybowl was open to high school, middle school and grade school students. Also, a survey conducted by David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, found that only four of the Big 12 schools served alcohol.
Bill Walberg, member of the board and El Dorado Hills, Calif., senior, said he was initially disappointed with the Provost's decision, but could understand why he rejected the proposal.
"It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation," he said.
The board will discuss the
Provost's decision at their Aug. 23 meeting.

Student remains in coma after fall
BY KRISTIN HOPPA khoppa@kansan.com
A University student studying abroad in Paris during the summer remains in a medically induced coma for treatment, KU officials said Thursday.
Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said Shannon Tuley, Overland Park junior, was studying in Paris when she suffered from what Paris police are calling an accident fall Sunday, July 6.
While details about the fall have not been released, Jessie Rood, Overland Park junior and childhood friend of Tuley's, said doctors treating Tuley estimated she would remain in the coma for anywhere from 14 to 20 days. Doctors have now reduced the time to 10 to 15 days, Rood said.
"I don't know one person who
isn't hopeful for her," Rood said. "She is one of the most unique people I know."
"The University wants to provide
Cohen said the University sent one counselor and additional staff to Paris to offer assistance to other students participating in the study abroad program. The University also provided a translator for Tuley's mother, Laurie Tuley, who is currently in France with her daughter.
"I don't know one person who isn't hopeful for her. She is one of the most unique people I know."

University wins T-shirt suit
afusco@kansan.com
BY ASHER FUSCO
Call it a win-win.
A federal jury ruled Monday that Joe-College.com, 734 Massachusetts St., infringed on Kansas Athletics Department trademarks. The store must pay the University $127,337 and pull 50 T-shirt styles from its shelves.
Considering the University asked for about $500,000 and the removal of more than 200 shirt designs, Joe-College.com owner Larry Sinks was pleased with the outcome.
"I feel great about the fact that we're going to stay open," Sinks said. "KU tried to shut us down completely, but didn't achieve that goal."
The jury ruled in favor of the University's claims that Sinks' shirt
designs were too similar to officially licensed KU merchandise. Sinks said his shirts only referred to the University, and his store never claimed to be affiliated with the University.
Sinks said he planned to file appeals to reduce the number of shirt designs the store must stop selling. He said two of the most popular styles — "Our Coach Can Eat Your Coach" and "I Bleed Crimson and Blue, Therefore I Sh't Purple" — might be reevaluated.
"We're not done, by any means," Sinks said.
The popular and controversial "Muck Fizzou" design is still available at the store.
The Athletics Department only pulled about 25 percent of Sinks' designs it had hoped to, but did not concede defeat. Athletics Director
Lew Perkins said the ruling would help Kansas maintain an important source of revenue — T-shirt sales — to help fund scholarships. Perkins said trademark revenue earned the University $1 million per year.
"This is an important victory for the University of Kansas, its reputation and its students," Perkins said.
Sinks said the most harmful side effect of the legal action was the reduction of the store's inventory in the past three weeks pending the trial's result. He said inventory levels would be back to normal by the middle of next week.
The trial began June 24 and stretched nearly three weeks before Monday's verdict. The jury began deliberations last Wednesday.

THIS WEEK IN NEWS Pakistan diplomat halts hunt for Osama, al-Qaida
NEW YORK (AP) — Pakistan's top diplomat said Saturday there were no U.S. or other foreign military personnel on the hunt for Osama bin Laden in his nation, and none will be allowed in to search for the al-Qaida leader.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said his nation's new government has ruled out such military operations, covert or otherwise, to catch militants.
"Our government's policy is that our troops, paramilitary forces and our regular forces are deployed in sufficient numbers. They are capable of taking action there. And any foreign intrusion would be counterproductive," he said Saturday. "People will not accept it. Questions of sovereignty come in."
The United States has grown increasingly frustrated as al-Qaida, the Taliban and other militants thrive in Pakistan's remote areas and in neighboring Afghanistan, and has offered U.S. troops to strike at terror networks. Bin Laden is believed to be hiding somewhere along the rugged and lawless Afghan-Pakistan border region.
One boy and one girl as Jolie gives birth to twins
PARIS (AP) — The Brangelina twins are here: Angelina Jolie has given birth to a girl and a boy.
The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Associated Press that the actress, the babies and Jolie's partner, actor Brad Pitt, "are doing marvelously well."
Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarian section on Saturday night.
Pope visits Australia, conveys regret over abuse
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI arrived in Australia on Sunday, saying he wants to use his visit to raise awareness about global warming and address the crisis of clergy sexual abuse.
Benedict suggested to reporters on the flight from the Vatican that he would express regret about abuse by priests, though victims' groups are demanding he go further and make a direct formal apology.
The clergy abuse scandal is a serious note in the pope's 10-day visit to Australia — his first — during which he will join the World Youth Day festival that has attracted more than 200,000 people.
Benedict, 81, flew more than 20 hours from Rome to touch down at a military air base on Sydney's outskirts.

Students take responsibility for their actions

Last March, Mairin Cannon made an appointment at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She wasn't feeling sick, and she didn't need a routine check-up. After her

So the doctor gave Cannon a pap smear to test for HPV, took extra vaginal cultures to test for gonorrhea and Chlamydia and drew a syringe of her blood to test for HIV and herpes.
According to Centers for Disease Control and prevention, about 19 million new STD cases are reported every year. Almost half of those cases occur in people 15 to 24 years old.

tested if they engaged in certain behaviors, including having sex with more than one partner, having sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs and having sex with acquaintances.
After her
doctor's visit, all Cannon could do was check her mail and wait. It took about two weeks for the results of the HPV, gonorrhea and Chlamydia tests to arrive. It took another three weeks before she received the results of the HIV and herpes test. As the time passed slowly, Cannon's anxiety grew.
"You think about it all the time," Cannon said. "If you pee and it burns you're like, 'Oh fuck, what do I have.'"
Chlamydia, genital warts and
herpes are the most common STDs among college students. Chlamydia is treated with antibiotics and genital warts must be frozen off. Herpes is incurable, but an antiviral medicine will lessen side effects and outbreaks.
Undetected and untreated, STDs can cause serious health problems later in life. In women, Chlamydia can cause infertility. HPV can lead to genital warts and in women, it can cause cervical cancer in 20 years. If someone doesn't know they have
an STD, they are also more likely to pass it on to others.
before she was tested, she was even more inclined to use it afterwards.
"I didn't want to go through the stress of all that again," she said.
"Obviously if you're having sex with someone you care about them, and you should care about their well being," Cannon said.

CHARLES BRANSON District Attorney
Here are some situations that could land students on the list:
- A couple trying to spice up their relationship should think twice before doing the deed in public.
- If someone is on the losing side of a bet, it might be a better option to endure repeated harassment than striping down and running around the neighborhood.
- And if a person can't hold it any longer, peeing their pants might be a safer bet than dropping their drawers
sexually motivated, then a person is looking at a membership to the sex registry list.
In Kansas, first-time adult sexual offenders are required to register for 10 years. A second conviction or some sexual
offenses requires a lifetime registry.
A person's picture, crime and address will become public knowledge. In 2009, the national sex offender registry list will be complete, allowing someone's information to be looked up anywhere in the country by anyone.
District Attorney Charles Branson said he had mixed feelings about the sex offender list. Although a crime must be proven to be committed out of sexual gratification, the number of possible offenses continues to grow.
"The more it expands, the less
potency it has on the offenses that the registry was created for," Branson said.
According to Branson, expansion also makes it more difficult to track offenders.
There are currently 67 offenders.

The Human Rights Watch, a New York City-based agency, said that sex offender registries did more harm than good. According to a report the agency completed in 2007, the lists have become a threat to offenders. In 2005 and 2006, four sex offenders were killed in the U.S. Their information was found through the sex registry.
Human Rights Watch has found

The harassment and ostracism encountered by sex offenders has led Minnesota to tailor information about sex offenders to the violent nature of the criminal. Prior to being released from
prison, the offender is given an evaluation concerning their mental state. Violent offenders' information is still released, but non-violent offenders information is withheld.
Dan Winters, Executive Director of the Kansas and Missouri American Civil Liberties Union, said that sex registries brought up more questions than they answered.
Winters said that if there was a sex registry then it would be just as likely to create a driving-while

Winters said another problem with the registry was the compiling of violent and dangerous offenders with non-violent offenders. He said a man caught urinating in public is pictured next to someone who has raped a 14-year-old.

Women of KU Calendar still sizzles in 10th year
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Cassie Rupp lies on her stomach, resting on the back of a white motorboat, wearing nothing but a black bikini.
Leona Lewis' latest song hums in the background, as the 7 p.m. sun dances on the Clinton Lake waters surrounding the boat.
Rupp tosses her hair back, repositions herself and looks 15 feet across the dock at a man holding a camera.
"Slide this way a little more," the photographer says, "hold that right there. You're going to love this. This is killer."
A few minutes — and a few dozen rounds of photographs — later, Rupp climbs out of the boat as onlookers stare curiously at the senior from Dighton. Rupp's exhausted. She's been outside for nearly 10 hours.
Rupp's not alone. She's here at the Clinton Lake Marina on this Sunday with four other bikini-clad KU students.
Tanya Voshell, Wichita junior, is a pre-business major. Voshell was born in China and moved to Kansas when she was 11-years-old.

Addie Fike, Shawnee sophomore, will appear in the 2009 Women of KU Calendar. Fike is majoring in health and exercise science and said she would like to become a physical therapist.
Together, they make up five of the 12 girls who were selected in May to appear in the 2009 Women of KU swimsuit calendar. The quintet, including Rupp, Jenni Henslee, Shawnee senior, Tanya Voshell, Wichita junior, Nicki Zimmerman, Iowa City, Iowa, sophomore, and Addie Fike, Shawnee sophomore, spent Sunday with calendar photographer Dave Gillispie. They scouted locations and posed for test photoshoots, practicing for the real thing in early August.
It's the 10th year for the calendar, which makes it the longest running University calendar of its kind in the country.

an online application. Voshell had to last through two more in-person interviews before making the final cut.
Voshell said the calendar selected its models based on their activities, grades and future goals — of course, models had to look great in a two-piece as well.
Voshell and the rest of the girls found out in mid-May that they'd be splashed across pages of the 2009 calendar.
When Nicki Zimmerman found out she'd made it, she couldn't wait to tell her grandparents. The only problem? Zimmerman's parents had already spilled the secret.
"How many people get to say they were in a swimsuit calendar?" Zimmerman said.
Since May, the girls have gone through months of preparation. They've had lessons in modeling nutrition and fitness.
Addie Fike has always been interested in fitness. She's majoring in health and exercise science and she said she wanted to be a physical therapist. Fike said showing off your flat tummy is just a part of the calendar.
"It allows you to highlight all your other qualities," Fike said. "Your intelligence and your other interests."
For Jenni Henslee, that means highlighting the fact that she's a McNair scholar, a program that assists low-income and first-generation or underrepresented minority college students as they prepare for graduate school.

Dave Gillispie finished up with Rupp on the boat and walked along the dock at Clinton Lake.
"Check these out," Gillispie said holding his camera. "These are hot."
Gillispie's job is to ensure that the calendar stays fresh and sexy after nine years.
That, he says, is the biggest challenge. Gillispie's been the head photographer for the calendar for four years.
"I love my job," he said. "I get to hang out with hot chicks all day long."
But Gillispie also is responsible for making sure that every model feels comfortable. Few - if any - of the girls have had modeling experience.
"If a girl wants to get into modeling, this is a huge stepping stone," Gillispie said.
Gillispie said the calendar sold most of its copies in Lawrence and the surrounding areas. But the calendar has sold copies all over the world, including requests from Denmark, Spain and Sweden.
And although 20-year-old males buy the majority of the calendars, Gillispie said people would be surprised how many mothers and young women buy the calendar.
Of course, he admits most of those calendars turn into gifts for sons and boyfriends.

He said the calendar tried to keep it in the Sports Illustrated vein.
"I think it's a testament to the classy, tasteful vibe," Gillispie said.
"We try to keep it sporty, sexy and hit the broadest target," he said.
And once the shooting is done and the calendar is produced, the models' job has just begun. They have to spend the next three to four months promoting the calendar, making as many as eight appearances a month around Kansas.
It all gives the models a chance to bond.
"It turns into a mini-sisterhood," Gillispie said.
Standing on the dock, the models draw a crowd. A few young boys gawk from a nearby boat and a woman wants to see Rupp's photos on Gillispie's camera. Rupp's pleased. The photos look calendar-worthy, but none of these will be used. The real photo shoot is three weeks away.
Rupp begins to put her cover-up on over her swimsuit.
"When you think of the large scale of KU, how big it is, and we're one of 13" Rupp said. "It makes it that much more special."

》Q & A
Student warns to not judge gays by their outfits
BY DEEPA SAMPAT dsampat@kansan.com
Kansan reporter Deepa Sampat sat down with Wichita junior Robben Stanley to discuss his feelings on homosexuality and being gay in Lawrence.
What is it like living an openly gay life in Kansas?
I think in Lawrence it's definitely a different experience because it's so much more accepting here. I get nervous in smaller towns sometimes. People look at you and you wonder if they can tell you're gay. But living here
is a good experience.
What do you feel are some misconceptions about the gay community you would like cleared up?
Some people think if you're gay that's the only thing about you, like the clothes you wear or the
ferent student groups. People who are noticeably gay, that's not the whole
"I'll meet someone and they'll says, Oh, you're gay? You're my new best friend. Let's go shopping.' And I'm like,'You don't even know me.'

places you go. You can be gay and still be interested in politics and dif-
population. There's a whole other group of people. People just look at what's on TV or at one gay person and that's what they are classified as.

California legalized gay marriage?
I'll meet someone and they'll say, "Oh,
you're gay? You're my new best friend.
Let's go shopping" And I'm like, "You
don't even know me."
Edited by Matt Hirschfeld
Anything else you would like to add?
Try to treat gay people like normal people. Don't judge, and don't give preferred treatment either. Sometimes
I was really excited. I thought it was a great step. I know it's already legal in Massachusetts and I was really excited when I heard about California. I'm confident that hopefully in my lifetime gay marriage will be legalized in every state. Gay people aren't going away.
and hopefully they will respect yours.
How would you define diversity?
People with different beliefs, different cultures and different values all being able to coexist peacefully. Diversity is on all levels, you have to respect people's rights and decisions

》SEXUAL NOVELTIES
Sex toys go green, become healthier
BY MANDY EARLES
mearles@kansan.com
Hybrid, solar power and even bamboo are a few words associated with protecting and preserving our environment. Dildos, vibrators and the occasional lube are words rarely linked with the environment, but now, even those unmentionables have gone green.
Alicia Ruscin, former graduate teaching assistant for women's studies, said that glass sex toys had been around for years.
"Some use glass toys because you can warm the glass or keep it cool," Ruscin said. "It gives it a different sensation."
Ruscin said glass toys were probably better for the environment because the toys would last longer, instead of ending up in a landfill.
Pat Davis, president of Passion Parties, a company that sells adult accessories and helps plan sex toys parties, said glass toys were beneficial because they were easy to clean.
"Glass toys can be very pretty,very decorative and very creative," Davis said. "People even buy them as a decoration piece for their home."
She said she thought more environmentally conscious consumers could be a reason the glass toys had picked up in popularity.
Shoppers seeking more green options may have helped glass toys become more recognizable, but the health benefits may have also played a factor.
Milton Wendland, second year doctoral student, said the phthalates were a substance used to make the plastic in the toys softer, more pliable and realistic. He said phthalates could cause the plastic to breakdown and could then release toxins into the body and the environment.
"Since phthalates are found in everything from paint to dildos, there is a lot of potential exposure," Wendland said.
Emily Gertz, environmental journalist in New York City, said vinyl phthalates could cause harm to your health and could cause damage to your reproductive organs. She said not much testing had been done on phthalates.
Wendland agreed and said sex toys weren't regulated by the government because they were classified as "novelties."
Ruscin said the government banned all children's toys from having phthalates in them because no one wanted a child sticking a toy with phthalates in their mouth.
"No one wanted to think about the sex toys. They didn't want to think about where women were putting those toys, and how that might be dangerous to their health," Ruscin said.
Gertz said women should probably avoid all toys that contain phthalates to be on the safe side, and instead to use some alternative options such as glass toys.

Birth control, contraceptive options exist for students
BY RAMSEY COX

Watkins Health Memorial Center provides contraceptive and birth control drugs for students, ranging in costs from 50 cents to $55, including Plan B.

U. S. Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) recently voted against a committee bill because of language that funded Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers to sell reduced-price drugs on university and college campuses.The bill passed the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education Committee anyway.
Contraceptives such as condoms and birth control are available at Watkins Memorial Health Center. The effectiveness of each method varies, depending on frequency and use.
Ramsev Cox/KANSAN
Brownback said. "Provisions in the bill will make it easier to purchase and distribute harmful drugs like Plan B."
Plan B is an emergency contraceptive and can be taken within five days of unprotected sex.
Sara Weber, Lawrence graduate student, has not used the morning after pill, but has used other similar forms of contraceptive like the birth control pills and condoms.
"I voted against committee passage of the Labor-Education-HHS appropriations bill due to the antifile provisions within the bill,"
temperature.
"I'd rather use birth control than not. Statistically speaking, contraceptives like condoms and the birth control pill are more effective than checking your hormone levels," Weber said.
Katy Cortese, Des Moines, Iowa senior, charts her cycle and plans to use the natural family planning method after she gets married in October.
Family planning is a natural form of birth control that some students use. Fertility has a direct effect on hormone levels, which can be checked by taking a woman's
"I don't like Plan B because life begins at conception and that pill aborts human life," Cortese said.
According to the Planned Parenthood, it is a common misconception that the morning after pill destroys a fetus, but it is considered a preventative form of birth control. The Planned Parenthood said preventative forms of birth control were not the same as abortion because they prevent pregnancy from ever occurring.
Other forms of common birth control include a birth control shot that lasts three months, which is 97 to 99 percent effective, or a
diaphragm, which is 84 to 94 percent effective. Condoms are nearly 100 percent effective and the birth
control pill is 92 to 99 percent effective.

Passion Parties helps former student pay the bills

Janette Reinke was a single mother of two, struggling to balance a job with her children's day-care schedules and fighting to keep up with her bills. The recently divorced Reinke

Reinke decided to become a Passion Parties consultant to help pay her bills. Now, the former KU student makes her living working as a consultant, selling sensual products to women through in-home sales calls.
"Passion Parties are actually very educational and empowering for women, and very helpful for relationships," Reinke said. "Having just gone through a failed relationship, it means a lot to help others with their intimacy."
Passion Parties, Inc., founded 14 years ago, has used the direct sales model popularized by Tupperware and Mary Kay to grow into a successful enterprise. According to owner Pat Davis, the company has gained value for 60 consecutive months.
After taking the company's reins in 2001, Davis rebranded Passion Parties to appeal to Middle America. Since then, Oprah, Tyra Banks and TIME Magazine have featured the company and its out-of-the-box approach to sex toy sales.
"Everyone's looking for ways to enhance their relationships, but going to a sex shop - I think most women wouldn't feel comfortable there," Davis said.

Students decide sex can wait till after marriage
BY REBEKAH SCAPERLANDA
rscaperlanda@kansan.com
Dr. Jennifer Roback-Morse, author of "Smart Sex," said that sex was more than just a recreational activity. She said it had significant social and moral significance, thus, the reason many choose to wait until marriage.

Smart sex is protected sex, or so says Jennifer Roback-Morse, Ph.D. author of "Smart Sex," who challenges her readers to move beyond protection from STDs and pregnancy and to think in terms of protecting the whole person. And, this means abstinence until marriage.
"We have the idea that sex is a recreational activity with no moral or social significance, and this is simply untrue," Roback-Morse said.
People tend to attach themselves to their sex partners, she said, despite claims of not wanting to be involved.
"I think that too many teens and young adults aren't mature enough to handle the bonds that are created," Nesbitt said. "When you're married, it would be so much more secure and so much more appropriate and satisfying."
"Studies have found that having multiple sex partners puts teenaged girls at risk for depression," Roback-Morse said.
Nesbitt said that because of the sexualized culture, people were often shocked that she was waiting. She said people tell her she was cheating herself out of enjoying something, but Nesbitt disagreed and believed a reason for waiting was to not cheat herself or her future husband.
This idea of attachment is part of the reason Bethany Nesbitt, Overland Park senior, decided to wait until she is married to have sex.
Sam Weinstein, Overland Park senior, said choosing to wait until marriage meant battling temptation. He said coming to the decision on his own to wait helped him stay abstinent.
"It's easy to assume that someone who is not sexually active has no sexual drive. That is false, a dudes a dude," Weinstein said.
he would have lost a lot of great relationships if they had become sexual. He said that no matter how you approach the situation, there is a bond that was formed between people when they have sex, intended or unintended.
Weinstein said he was very thankful he has controlled himself, because
Lauren Cunningham, Overland Park senior, said she wanted her marriage to be based on a deep friendship. She said there were religious reasons, but the logic behind waiting was non-religious. She said part of the reason she wanted to wait to have sex was because she wanted the man she married to respect and value her for more than just her sexuality. Cunningham said sex before marriage would cause the relationship to be based on the physical.
"I know when I date someone, they will be respectful of me," Cunningham said. "I don't think girls hold guys to high enough standards."
Roback-Morse said that whether protection — "smart sex" — should
involve condoms or waiting until marriage depends on what would bring happiness and fulfillment in the long run. If sex was merely a consumer good, it could be consumed the way one consumes a Big
Mac. People's ultimate happiness, she said, depends upon committed lifelong relationships and consumer sex damages our ability to form these healthy bonds.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)
5 stars. You take a stand in an unprecedented manner. Others wonder what has happened, as you might have refused to do just this in the past. Your high energy and strong sense of direction might stir up some strong reactions. Tonight: Let it happen.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
3 stars. Reach out for more information. Through this process you'll grow and learn. Others might not understand that you aren't seeking advice. Be careful with someone who thinks that his or her way is the only way. Tonight: Change your mental focus.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
3 stars. A key partner or associate touches base with you. It might be clear that it's this person's way or no way at all. Feel free to move past an issue or look at it differently. Tonight: Say yes to living.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
2 stars. Revise your thinking, as new information hits the airwaves. Your sense of style and direction need a more easy and relaxing tone. You know what you want; if you're not communicating as you would like, consider a workshop. Tonight; Just don't be alone.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
2 stars. You might want to revise your thinking about a certain person. Do just that! Use care with associates and co-workers. Misunderstandings could rear their head out of the blue. Tonight: Easy does it.
VIRGO (AUG.23-SEPT.22)
3 stars. Be open in your thinking when you speak to a certain friend. You'll gain yet another perspective. Ask all the questions you need to in a non-challenging manner. Tonight: A midweek break.

LIBRA (SEPT.23-OCT.22)
3 stars. You could be into a certain project, so much so that details and communication fall to the wayside. Be willing to say no to someone if a situation doesn't work for you. Use care with a sensitive person. Tonight: Chat up a storm.
4 stars. If you can, work from home. Some of you might call in and take a personal day. Quite clearly, you have much more done than you realize. Check out an investment or another security-related matter with a discerning eye. Tonight: Happy to stay close to home.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
2 stars. Possessiveness is normally not an issue with you, but you might be feeling insecure. Slow down and think about where this feeling is coming from. Heal the core rather than indulge the need. Tonight: Your treat.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
CAPRICORN (DEC.22-JAN.19)
4 stars. You are out of the gate first. You will continue to be the leader. The problem is that there might be confusion at the finish line because the judge doesn't have his glasses on. Tonight: Top dog.
AQUARIUS
(JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
PISCES (FEB.19-MARCH 20)
3 stars. Success also comes from knowing when to retreat. You'll find a classic situation where you need to exemplify this behavior. An associate comes in like gangbusters and picks up where you might have left off. Tonight: Get as much sleep as you can.
5 stars. Your smile is a sure-bet winner. Understanding someone's intentions could be very important, because his or her actions might say otherwise. Be understanding as you try to figure out which way to go. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

I'll just stick with what I see. The first one shows two elderly men, both wearing hats and carrying backpacks, engaged in a conversation. They are standing close together, facing each other.

LUCKY WITH THE ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT
Stephanie, senior,
who prefers to leave
out her last name
because of a blossoming new relationship, found out the wet truth about a KU athlete.
She had met the football player through another friend on the team. After a bad game in Texas, he called her from the airport to arrange a late night meeting.
When he got there, Stephanie proceeded to supple him with endless amounts of Everclear and Gatorade.
He asked her for a back rub, which she said she obliged to because of her desire to score.
But before they saw any action, he
passed out.
She was so embarrassed she made up a story about a group project that evidently started a 6 a.m. on a Sunday.
"I woke up at 6 a.m. soaking in pee!" Stephanie said.
On the way from Jayhawker Towers to GSP, she ran into the Army ROTC students training. As she walked past them soaked in pee, they laughed together.

at the bars that most people dread: closing time.
"The second the lights went on you could see all the girls searching for a guy." Matt said.
A sorority girl picked him out of the crowd, and since he was on vacation, he decided to let his inhibitions run wild. She snuck him back to her sorority house where they "crashed"
on a bunk bed. Soon after the fun was over, Matt decided to leave in order to avoid an awkward situation the next morning. He said that he had to go to the bathroom and tried to leap from the top bunk. Unfortunately, the alcohol caught up with him and he rammed his back into one of the bed posts.

Spurred by her help, they decided to hook up again. Afterward he was fishing for a way to leave. He used the bathroom excuse once more. This time he was able to get out of the house unnoticed.
Bleeding, he allowed her to fix his wound.
After he started walking he realized he had no idea where he was. Two blocks later he realized he forgot his coat.
After sneaking back into the sorority house, he tried not to make a noise while looking for his coat.
"Of course she caught me and I had to come up with an excuse that I got sick in the bathroom," Matt said.
DORM DAYS
After a third round of hooking up, he snuck out for the final time, without waking her and with his coat.
Greg Walters, 33, Pittsburgh, Penn., looks back at his time in the dorms and remembers one coed in particular; she was hot and never wore anything.
"A thong would have covered more than her outfits," Walters said.
Although she was dating a British foreign exchange student, he and his roommate would joke about her promiscuous tendencies.
However, the girl from the dorms came alone. Since the party didn't materialize the group decided to head out to the bars.
A few months later, Walters and his friend moved out of the dorms and off campus. One day they spotted the thong girl with a group of friends and invited them over that night to christen their new digs.

THE CASE OF THE MISSING ENGAGEMENT RING
Jeff Davidson, 23, Overland Park, was in the midst of a repeated one-night stands with the same girl. However, when asked if they were dating, he was quick to disagree.
"We were banging, not dating," Davidson said.
To complicate the situation, his "lover" was engaged, which he initially said he
wasn't aware of, but added later, "I might have known that was the situation."

FROM GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE THEY COME
Lauren Gall, Topeka senior, was in the middle of her freshman year and in the middle of a night out with friends when she met him. The man, who later became her friend, became her conquest for the night at least.
Gall woke up refreshed in the dorms, but to some shocking news.
"When I was getting up, he told me that his grandparents were on their way, soon," Gall said.
She had thirty minutes to finagle her way out of his place, unseen and catch a ride back to her place, before grandma and grandpa saw what their grandson really studied in college.
Luckily, as college goes, there is always a good friend, awake at any hour, to bail you out of an uncomfortable situation.

OPINION
ADVICE
Jayhawk dirty talk
Hi Peter,
My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year now. I love him, and I love having sex with him, but I feel like his sex drive is ridiculous! He wants it multiple times a day, every day, and if I am doing something on my own that doesn't involve us having sex he is offended. He has low self esteem and thinks because I don't want sex constantly, I'm not attracted to him. I just don't know how to explain to him that I don't NEED sex every day without hurting his feelings. It gets really frustrating because the only "excuse" he will accept is if I'm on my period.
All other aspects of our relationship are fine. I just think it's unfair for him to expect this of me. He's horny all the time, and I'm just...not. What can I do?
-Victim of a Ridiculous Sex Drive
Dear VRSD,
You are 100 percent right. It is unfair of him to expect you to cater to his every sexual desire and even more unfair to become offended if you don't. Know that it is not uncommon for partners to have different levels of sexual desire. From what I can tell you are a perfectly normal woman. If you weren't willing to have sex at all, that would be unusual, but since you are obviously willing (just not to the extent that your partner is) you're fine.
I asked Lawrence Sex Therapist Dennis Detweiler about your situation and he had some interesting things to say.
"It looks like he's using sex to meet some of his own needs for validation and affirmation of himself as a man and as a sexual being and that he gets mad and upset not at not having sex, but at risking losing that validation and that will kill the relationship eventually," Detweiler said. "They're heading in a direction where sex is going to become less frequent and less good in terms of
BY PETER SOTO
quality, instead of more."
Don't give in to your boyfriend. Hold your ground and don't have sex with him if you don't feel like it. You will only be adding to the problem by reenforcing his behavior. On the bright side, you already have a stand by "excuse." If you don't feel like having sex, you can just say that you have been having really sporadic periods lately and he has called at the wrong time(s) of the month. Just hope his desires don't decide that taking a ride on the crimson wave is better than a break from sex. Really though, you should tell him the truth. Be very gentle in the way you address this issue, because this will be a very sensitive subject for him. Luckily, this isn't the worst thing you could be having a heart to heart with your boyfriend about. Thankfully, you are already aware of his low self-esteem.
Peter is a Shawnee sophomore in journalism.
I am not telling you that it's your job to fix his self-esteem issues,but if you are willing to be there for him and help him realize there are ways of validating himself other than sex, your relationship will be stronger because of it.
Love is a powerful thing. It is the greatest thing in the world and should be preserved. Your situation is one that I am sure many women (and even men) find themselves in. Talk to your boyfriend, tell him that you love him and only go to bed with him when you really want to. I'm sure that this is something you can work out with a little communication.

Sexual desire 101: It's more than meets the eye
BY BRIEUN SCOTT
bscott@kansan.com
Temperature hot, sweaty palms and increased heart rate. They're all things people feel when noticing
that particularly attractive man or woman. It is an intense feeling of longing that creates a sexual appetite in humans.
What causes such symptoms? Try sexual desire.
Some answered the question "How do you know you're feeling sexual desire?" with a blush or a laugh.
"My stomach turns to butterflies and I blush," Camie Quilt, graduate student, said.
two concepts: interest and drive. He said interest focused on what one liked and with whom one is interested in; and drive was the energy to act on that interest.
"It's the desire to have a physical and emotional connection with someone to take the relationship to the next level."
ASHLEY SAKUMURA Fort Hayes State sophomore
"I get modest around the person because you don't want them to know you have that urge for them," Kellen Mahone, Lawrence resident, said.
Researchers have found that
"Tingly, just giddy — happy like," Andrea Koch, Lawrence junior, said.
"I can't stop smiling," Ashley Sakumura, Fort Hays State sophomore said. "I'm just excited to spend time with that someone."
there's more to sexual desire than physical attractiveness. Different influences such as the emotional. and psychological also play a role in sexual desire - although the physical is a big factor.
According to "Disorders of
Sexual Desire," by sex therapist Helen Kaplan, "he may feel genital sensations or he may feel vaguely sexy, interest in sex, open to sex or even just restless."
The brain plays a role in sexual desire as well. Some researchers have found that it isn't one particular area, but the neuro-path way in the brain. Detweiler said the brain as a whole contributed to sexual desire, but he believed hormones were a key player.
THE LOWS OF SEXUAL DESIRE
There are several factors that can hinder or encourage a person's sexual desire.
Detweiler said that stress hormones such as cordorzone and adrenaline impinged on hormones that one needs for sexual desire. He said it also could be used to increase hormone drive.
He said negative dissociations such as abuse, rape, assault or an unhealthy relationship would also affected one's desire.
"Some people use sex to mitigate stress," Detweiler said.
"Anything paired negatively with sex equates negative desire," Detweiler said.
He said for college students, a bad relationship could be the problem. The dynamics of the relationship would cause high drama, be controlling or demanding and end the relationship with resentment and anger.
Other negative influences are parental anxiety, religion and even sexual desire itself. Detweiler said the levels of sexual desire were different for everyone.
"One who wants more could pester or make the other's drive go down," he said.
MYTHS OF SEXUAL DESIRE:
IT'S ABOUT
MORE THAN SEX
We've all heard them, the myths of the "whys and why not" of sex. Unfortunately, it's the same myths that have an effect on sexual desire.
Detweiler said when it comes to myths, he'd heard most of them. He said he heard myths from men's blue balls to a woman's worth equating to beauty.
He said the most damaging myth was one that pertained to sex being limited.
"When we limit sex to genitals and intercourse, we become over-focused on orgasm," Detweiler said.
He said sexual desire was more than intercourse; it's about tenderness, sensuality, caring, respect and alternative ways to be together.
"When people limit what we call sex, they limit the ways people can relate," Detweiler said. "Interest and drive don't get to flourish."
Detweiler said sexual desire was also the longing for eroticism: to be seen, to be kissed and to be wanted. He said most people just want to be wanted, just to flirt.
"People want to know that they have the capacity to influence other people in my environment," Detweiler said.
Something close and intimate, an emotional and physical connection is what most people desire to have.
SEXUAL DESIRE...
JUST LET IT BE
There are times when we try to downplay our desires and emotions and set them on the back burner, but Detweiler said to just let it be.
"You're not human if you don't experience sexual desire," he said.
Detweiler said that condemning sexuality was unhealthy.
"If you put lid on desire, it goes out sideways," Detwieler said.
He said finding the right channels for desire could promote healthy sexuality. He said if people welcomed desire, it led to positive integration.
He said emotions could confuse what one considered sexual desire, and a hurtful relationship could make people focus on the physical in the relationship. Moreover, Detweiler said that sexual desire was very complex. He said people should have a healthy self-concept and attitude toward sex and sexuality by respecting the self and holding out for relationships that are capable of being close, intimate relationships with a knowledge of sex.
Edited by Rustin Dodd
WHAT IS SEXUAL DESIRE EXACTLY?
"Just when you're physically attracted to someone, you just want to get a little closer to them," Koch said.
"It's the desire to have a physical and emotional connection with someone — to take the relationship to the next level," Sakumura said.

Q&A
'Karma' keeps it klassy at strip club Out House
Karma is a stripper at the Out House, 1835 N. 1500 Road, and shared her thoughts on her occupation.
1) What separates the Out House from other strip clubs?
---
The Out House is different from other clubs in one obvious way that is both beneficial to customers and dancers. The club is BYOB, which saves customers money at the liquor store, and at the club (since there are no over-priced drinks to pressure them into buying for both themselves and the dancers). As a dancer at the Out House, I'm not being forced to accept every drink a guy buys me, whether fake or not. I don't drink soda, or alcohol, so I appreciate being able to bring in my own tea or Gatorade.
Karma
2) What is your favorite song to dance to?
You can only play a song so many times before someone else decides they like it and want to dance to it, too. There is a number display on the jukebox that shows what song is playing, so if it really is that good,
every other dancer in the club can take a peak and play it whenever she wants. It's like a secret handshake: Eventually someone else is going to figure it out, and it's not as cool when that happens.
3) What got you into stripping?
Actually, I had a speeding ticket I couldn't pay. I had worked all month long, trying to come up with enough money, but between food, gas, and making almost nothing at my retail job at the mall, I had made no progress. I went to Bonita Flats originally, decided it was a little to crazy for me, then somehow ended up at the Out House. The "crazy" of the Out House was much more
suited to my liking.
4) What do you think is the biggest misconception about strippers?
The biggest false stereotype relating to strippers would be substance abuse; we don't all drink, and we don't all do drugs. I hardly even drink soda. You can't make your opinions of all of us based on the actions of a few of us.
5) What is your favorite part about stripping?
Dancing is freedom. I have the freedom to make all my own decisions, to travel, to be accountable to almost exclusively myself. I buy my own food, pay my own rent, car insurance, and phone bill. I am also paying my own way through school, one semester at a time. I've been dancing since 18, and since then I've been free to do as I please. I can't imagine not being able to buy the kind of food I feel like eating, or having to answer to someone for a grade that was less than perfect: It's my life, completely.

Recipe: Hot, spicy dish gets even hotter
Lacey Doherty, manager of Urban Outfitters, 1013 Massachusetts St., shares her hot and spicy dinner dish for The Kansan's Hot 'n' Spicy issue.
INGREDIENTS
Vegetable oil
1 green pepper
1 onion
2 tbps. green curry paste
1 can of coconut milk
1 box of couscous
Paneer cheese or tofu
DIRECTIONS
"It should get thick," Doherty said of the ingredients in the pan. "If it stays thin, you just add some flour to thicken it up."
Chop up the green pepper and onion and any other kind of vegetable you wish to add. Coat a pan with vegetable oil and sauté the vegetables for five to 10 minutes. While doing so, add two tablespoons of curry paste and a can of coconut milk.
In a pan, bring water to a boil and dump in a box of couscous.
MARILYN MAYER
When fluffy, put on plate and place vegetables on top.
Doherty said she used paneer, an Indian cheese similar to tofu to top off her dish. She makes the meal a couple times a month.
And if you want to make it hotter, no problem.
Even though the meal isn't a sexy dessert, Doherty said couples could still enjoy making it together.
"The more curry you add, the spicier it gets," she said.
"Chopping vegetables can be like a teamwork activity," she said.

Food: Stick to fried stuff and dancers at strip club
MARTINI
The Pink Flamingo Club, 501 N. 9th St., or the Dirty Bird as its patrons affectionately refer to it, provides the rare combination of exotic dancers and an all-you-can-eat buffet. The buffet, which costs $8, hit and missed, but it basically came down to the deep-fat fryer. In other words, if it's fried it tastes good, if it's not fried, look out.
I walked in and the Flamingo Club felt like a sports bar, except instead of TVs it had two big stages that bookend the dinning room, and instead of sports it had strippers excuse me - exotic dancers.
Surprisingly, the Flamingo Club
lacked some of the unpleasantness usually associated with strip clubs. It was as clean as any typical sports bar, and it did not have giant bouncers in skin-tight black t-shirts accosting people at the front door.
It was really just like a more provocative Hooters. The buffet, however, lacked consistency.
I was in line behind a guy with a mullet who would make Billy Ray Cyrus consider changing hair stylists, and he looked like he had been through this routine before.
I decided to follow his lead. He went for the fried chicken, so I went for the fried chicken. Then he threw
some beer battered cod on his plate and I followed suit, but he skipped the alfredo pasta, and for some reason I failed to stick to the plan. My bad.
The pasta was stale, cold and did not have a hint of alfredo flavor, but the fried chicken and beer-battered cod were excellent.
I recommend the Flamingo Club on two fronts, first, as a place for fried chicken and second, as a comfortable strip club experience.

To give it up or not to give it up...that is the question
TOP REASONS NOT TO GIVE IT UP
The old saying goes modesty is key. On a college campus that can be a hard way to live. But if you're willing to take the plunge here are some reasons to keep it in your pants.
2. EMBARRASSMENT
The worst thing about a one-night-stand is the possibility to running into that person the next time you go out. It's awkward, embarrassing and will undoubtedly result in your friends immediately questioning your judgment.
1. A CASE OF THE STD's
They're gross, can be impossible to get rid of and are always around to crash the party. Even with protection they can be contracted. So, in an effort to stay fresh and clean, pull out the chastity belt.
TOP REASONS TO GIVE IT UP
It's the age-old question: how long should you wait before rounding the bases with your special friend? It has been said that 'giving it up' too early is a sure fire way to loose any hope of a meaningful relationship with someone. That may or may not be true. However, if you're feeling in the mood, here are some excuses for taking it all the way.
2. Why else are you going out dressed like that?
Ladies let's not lie to one another. Your girlfriends could care less about what you put on, but the guy at the end of the bar has a better chance of turning his head if your shirt cut is lower than acceptable. If things end up working out, for the night, write it off as your top finally being used for its intended purpose.
1. There's no better way to do the walk-of-no-shame.
Sure there are situations where you innocently crash at a friend's. But the next day you'll be grouped with everyone else returning home. If the assumption is that you got lucky, why debate it? For a night you had game, live it up.

But yes it's true, Watson's Library's dark dungeon of book shelves provides just the right amount of privacy to, uhh, "study," or "play doctor." If you've never seen the stacks, they're worth a trip. Just don't go alone. I mean, it's quite dark.

Fitness: Yoga sweats the pounds, heats up the workout
YOGA WORKOUT
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Participants in a Bikram yoga class stretch for exercise. Bikram yoga involves going through 26 different postures and two breathing exercises.
Want a workout that will make you "hot"? Bikram Yoga will do just that...literally.
While practicing Bikram Yoga, you will go through 26 different postures to stretch and strengthen your body and two breathing exercises.
The difference between Bikram Yoga and regular yoga, however, is that during Bikram Yoga, the room is heated to 105 degrees. The hot environment serves several purposes. The heat protects your muscles from possible injury allowing you to maintain a more intense workout. While you continue to sweat, your heart rate increases, providing a better cardiovascular workout. Also,the heat actually works to keep your own body from overheating.
Elizabeth Marshall, owner of Bikram Yoga's College of India, 711 W.23rd St., said anyone can participate, no matter your experience level, age or physical condition.
"Some people will find in the beginning the heat is a little daunting," Marshall said. "With a consistent practice they come to welcome, love and appreciate the heat.
Everyone does."
Marshall said Bikram Yoga was also more effective than other workout routines. She said while many exercises only target one area of the body, when you practice Bikram Yoga you are working through your entire body every time.
"You're strengthening your body by using your own body's strength." Marshall said.
If you're interested in joining a Bikram Yoga class, don't forget to bring a yoga mat, a towel and plenty of water to stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothing, but keep it to a minimum.

Presto gets marks for 'jazz-edge sound'
Presto "State of the Art"
Jazz meets hip - hop that's the sound you'll get after listening to Presto's latest album. State of the Art. It sounds odd, but this musicproducing artist puts together instruments and beats that created an urban sound that will get people's attention.
Presto
STATE OF THE ART
Presto, the West-coast-based artist, has been mixing sounds on his turn table since the age of 15, playing sounds of hip-hop favorites Mobb Deep, A Tribe Called Quest and Gang Starr.
In this self-produced album, Presto introduces people to a new flavor of sounds. His songs have a jazz-edge sound and is collaborated with under-the-radar hip-hop artist such as Sadat X, O.C., and Large professor in "Conquer mentally."
He throws an assortment of instrumentals in songs "The Pressure," featuring Raashan Ahmad and "On," with LOWD. Presto later changes it up and serenades listeners with the sultry vocals of Kim Hill in "Plain Jane."
This collaborative album is definitely one listeners should watch out for because of its "laid-back melodies."

No criminal charges for Collins
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson will not file criminal charges against Sherron Collins, citing insufficient evidence.
Collins, who former Jayhawker Towers employee Jessica Brown accused of exposing his penis and rubbing on her in an elevator in May 2007, will still have to deal with a civil lawsuit.
A Douglas County judge ordered Collins to pay Brown $75,000 last month by default because Collins never responded to the case against him. Collins has continued to say he is innocent.
"Although these claims have been very hurtful to me personally and damaged my reputation."
Collins added that he hoped the lack of criminal charges would help restore his reputation.
Collins said in a statement, "I have always been confident that there is no evidence that could implicate me in any way, shape or form."
Kansas coach Bill Self has supported Collins since the allegations were made 14 months ago. Self said the Athletics Department had known about the claims since they were made but was surprised when the civil suit arose a year later.
"This information comes as no surprise to me," Self said in a statement. "Sherron has maintained his innocence since the day these allegations were made over a year ago."

Sex weakens athletes—Is it just a dirty lie?
07 28
Photo Illustration by Mindy Ricketts
It has been debated whether pregame sex improves game performance for athletes. But some said that sticking with a pregame ritual is the best bet, which may actually involve sex before the game.
Photo Illustration by Mindy Rickett
BY JESSE TEMPLE jtempl@kansan.com
The original "Rocky" movie is 32 years old now, but one scene still provides a small window into the mindset of sex and the athlete: Rocky Balboa hacks away on a punching bag. As sweat runs down his face, trainer Mickey taps Balboa on the shoulder. Upset with Balboa's laziness leading up to a big fight, Mickey tells him, "Women weaken legs." Five seconds later, Mickey has Balboa convinced. He's not fooling around anymore.
The idea of pre-game abstinence from sex to enhance athletic performance is a long standing one. But is that notion as fictional as Balboa's character?
"The best way to continue positive performance outcomes would be to not change your pre-game ritual," Cupp said.
KU sports team physician Sean Cupp sure thinks so. Cupp, a sports medicine specialist, said no true scientific studies proved night-before sex impedes performance in any way. In fact, Cupp said if sex was part of an athlete's typical nighttime routine, the person shouldn't suddenly abandon lovemaking.
Cupp, who was an athlete in high school, said he had been around plenty of coaches and athletes who had
perpetuated the abstinence myth.
Coaches and athletes are superstitious, Cupp says. "If they feel like they have a pretty good system, they're not going to stray from it," he said.
Cupp said boxing in particular lends itself to that myth because of its aggressive nature and that abstaining could increase anxiety level.
According to an article that appeared in the October 2000 edition of the Journal of Sport Medicine, "The long-standing myth that athletes should practice abstinence before important competitions may stem from the theory that sexual frustration leads to increased aggression, and that the act of ejaculation draws testosterone from the body."
"You take care of business and you've got your head cleared."
Justin Montgomery is the coowner of the Lawrence-based Walt's Boxing Gym. An amateur fighter and trainer himself, Montgomery said he had heard of the myth over the years even Muhammad Ali was said to have gone six weeks without sex before a fight but Montgomery didn't believe in it.
Few tests exist that definitively answer the question for men, and none exist that answer the question for women. The Journal of Sport Medicine cited just three scientific studies, all using a small male sample size, showing no major physiological
"As a fighter, you don't want to be all tensed up," Montgomery said.
differences before and after sex.
Last year, the cable television show "Sports Science" set out to prove or disprove the theory. Former heavyweight boxing champion Chris Byrd was put through a series of the same tests. One set occurred before sex,

The most scandalous sports scandals involve anything from 20,000 women to 15 back bites to a condom-littered boat
Here are the Top 5 sports scandals that have happened in the world of sports.
5. WILT CHAMBERLAIN
Chamberlain's claim that he had slept with 20,000 women in his lifetime wasn't so much a scandal. Heck, some consider it an accomplishment. If Chamberlain was telling the truth, that averages out to 1.2 women per day from when he was 15 years old to the day he died.
4. MARV ALBERT
The Basketball Hall of Fame broadcaster temporarily lost his job in 1997 when he went on trial for felony charges of forcible sodomy. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor after DNA tests showed he bit his accuser 15 times on the
back. The accuser also said Albert had a penchant for wearing women's underwear and participating in threesomes with another male.
3. EUGENE ROBINSON
On the morning on Jan. 30, 1999, the Atlanta Falcons safety accepted the Bart Starr Award for being the NFL player who best exemplifies character. That night, an undercover police officer arrested him after he offered her $40 to perform oral sex on him. And oh yeah, the next day was Super Bowl XXXIII, where Robinson's Falcons were playing the Denver Broncos.
2. GOLD CLUB SCANDAL
Never before were so many prominent athletes involved in one sex scandal. In a lawsuit against the owner of an Atlanta strip club, athletes such as basketball player
Patrick Ewing and baseball player Andruw Jones were subpoenaed to testify about their experiences at the club. Ewing, Jones and a number of other athletes admitted to receiving sexual favors in the club.
1. MINNESOTA VIKINGS LOVE BOAT
Seventeen members of the 2005 Minnesota Vikings rented two boats on an off-weekend and flew in prostitutes for the occasion, but apparently they forgot to clean up afterwards. They returned the boats, which were littered with used condoms, K-Y jelly and sex toys. The players were caught the next morning when a woman called 9-1-1 as she watched seven of them urinate in her yard.

Don't Bench A LEGEND
Don't Bench A LEGEND
Charles Mollenkamp, 17, of Brookfield, Wis., shows his support to bring back Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre, at a rally outside Wisconsin State Fair Park on Monday in Milwaukee. Favre is asking to be released from the NFL football team from which he retired in March.
THIS WEEK IN SPORTS Favre wants to return; Packers won't release QB
GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Packers aren't about to let Brett Favre become a free agent. And while he's now free to return to Green Bay for another season, there's no guarantee he'll be the Packers' starting quarterback if he does.
In an interview on Saturday, Packers general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy said they don't plan to grant Favre the release he is seeking from his contract and are committed to Aaron Rodgers as their starter.
"We've communicated that to Brett, that we have since moved forward,"Thompson said Saturday, in his first public comments since Favere requested to be released this week. "At the same time, we've never said that there couldn't be some role that he might play here. But I would understand his point that he would want to play."
Davis headed to L.A. Brandbolts for Philly
LOS ANGELES — Baron Davis flashed his sparkling sense of humor often on his return to Los Angeles. He'll probably need it since he's going to be playing for the Clippers.
Arriving on the heels of the departure of Elton Brand and Corey Maggette, Davis will be involved in a rebuilding period for the perennially woeful Clippers.
General manager Elgin Baylor introduced Davis at news conference on Thursday by saying he would make his remarks brief so
Davis stepped to the podium and said, "Hello." Then he paused for a few moments, as if that was all he was going to say, before chuckling and breaking into a broad grin.
Later, he talked about his friend Brand and their phone conversations after Davis decided to leave the Golden State Warriors to play for his hometown team. Brand left for Philadelphia Wednesday, signing with the 76ers.
Top recruit goes to Europe, leaves Arizona reeling
TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona signee Brandon Jennings will pursue a professional basketball career in
Europe, backing out on his commitment to the Wildcats.
"Over the course of the last two months I have consulted a number of people in basketball before coming to this decision," Jennings said in a statement released Tuesday night through his attorney, Jeff Valle. "I would like to thank the University of Arizona for their interest and support through this process."
Jennings had not yet become academically eligible to play at Arizona.
Jennings could not jump to the NBA, which requires players to be at least one year removed from their high school classes graduation before being eligible to play in the league.
Red Sox back in first, Ortiz to return soon
Daisuke Matsuzaka and the Boston Red Sox are back on top in the AL East, Just as they were at last year's All-Star break.
The Red Sox moved a half-game ahead of Tampa Bay on Sunday and took the lead in the East for the first time since June 28.
And David Ortiz's return is on the horizon.
The slugger should return after soon after the All-Star break.

GAME SEX (CON- TINUED FROM 29)
where Byrd abstained for one week leading up to the tests. The other tests occurred the day after Byrd had sex with his wife. The tests measured leg strength, heart rate and punching power, as well as testosterone levels.
Byrd's leg strength on a squat machine was 909 pounds afterward compared to 908 pounds before. His heart rate remained at 180 beats per minute in both tests. His punching power, measured on a punching bag containing impact censors, was actually higher after sex (1,304 pounds compared to 1,128 pounds). And his testosterone levels were also higher after sex.
So can sex the night before competition actually increase performance?
"It seems to help because it relaxes you," said Carl Inzerillo, a sports medicine specialist at Inzerillo Family Practice in Lawrence. "Number one, they get a good night's sleep. Number two, it takes their mind off the competition. Number three, it increases testosterone."
Cupp said that too many confounding factors were present to warrant a definitive answer.
The Journal of Sport Medicine agreed, citing discrepancies in time of day, frequency and duration of sex, diet, fatigue and stress. "Although," Cupp added, "you would probably get a lot of guys who would want to do the study."

COLLEGE RANKING
University 'great' to work for
BY DEEPA SAMPAT
dsampat@kansan.com
The teaching environment and sense of pride toward the institution were two of the reasons the University was named one of the "Great Colleges to Work For" by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
"This recognition confirms what we know — KU is a great place to be," Chancellor Robert Hemenway said in a statement. "And it is a tribute to our community of students, faculty and staff who create and support the KU environment."
Helen Alexander, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, was featured on the cover of the magazine, which came out July 14. She said the magazine was looking through file photos and selected one of her.
"Honestly, I have no special involvement in the story," she said. "I do think KU is a great pace to work and is deserving."
Alexander cited the University's faculty, staff, students and facility as top reasons she liked working for the University.
After looking at the criteria for the survey, Mary Klayder, University honors lecturer, wasn't surprised that the University made the list.
"I think the size of the town and the sense of community helps you integrate your personal life and professional life," Klayder said.
Klayder said she also thought that the University let faculty explore their interests.
"I've carved out a niche of what I've really liked to do and received complete support from the University," she said, noting that she had created two study abroad programs and was

Vote paves way for U.S. energy deal
BY MATTHEW ROSENBERG
Associated Press
NEW DELHI — India's government survived a hotly contested confidence vote Tuesday, clearing the way for it to finalize a landmark nuclear energy deal with the U.S.
The vote capped a week of intense politicking that saw the government rename an airport for a lawmaker's father, promise a high-level job to another, and — rival politicians allege — hand out millions of dollars to many others in an effort to survive.
Most observers expected a tight vote, and both the Congress party and its opponents did whatever they could to muster their forces. One ailing lawmaker was wheeled in on a gurney, and a handful jailed for crimes ranging from murder to extortion were temporarily released from prison so they could vote.
Under the agreement, India would open its civilian reactors to international inspections in exchange for nuclear fuel and technology, which it has been denied by its refusal to sign the Nuclear
Nonproliferation Treaty and testing of atomic weapons.
To finalize the deal, India must now strike separate agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog organization, and the Nuclear Suppliers Group of countries that export nuclear material. The U.S. Congress will then vote the accord.
In New Delhi, the Congress party-led government won with 275 lawmakers voting for it and 256 against. The number of abstentions was not immediately clear, although not all 543 members of Parliament's lower house took part in the vote.
In Washington, White House press secretary Dana Perino said the Bush administration continues to support the U.S.-India nuclear deal.
"They're going to need a lot of energy, and one of the best ways to do that is through clean burning nuclear energy, not through coal-fired power plants, until we have technology that can help us reduce pollution as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions," Perino said.
encouraged by the University to do so. "If something strikes your fancy, there seems to be a lot of support."
The survey was based on responses of more than 15,000 administrators, faculty and staff members of 89 universities. The University was named top five in 12 out of 27 categories for large universities.

The countdown for fall semester is winding down. It's one month until lounging by the pool is replaced with sitting in a classroom and staying up late studying.

COLLEGE LIFE
Beauty pageants more than just a hand wave
BY BRYAN CISLER bcisler@kansan.com
Staci Klinginsmith can't help it, but when the National American Miss Kansas Pageant rolls around next month she knows she will be on the edge of her seat. Klinginsmith, Overland Park senior, has been competing in beauty pageants since she was young, but the last several years she has put her performing dreams on hold.
To help pay for college, Klinginsmith now trains younger contestants for the pageant.
"I get more nervous watching the girls compete than when I actually compete because I invest so much time and energy in helping them succeed," Klinginsmith said. "It feels like they are my children on stage."
One thing that bothers Klinginsmith is the stereotypes others have regarding beauty pageants.
"People just think we are pretty
girls without anything going on upstairs," Klinginsmith said.
Klinginsmith, who plans to graduate next year with a business finance degree, said that beauty pageants helped prepare girls for life in the real world.
Natalie Hays, one of the girls Klinginsmith trains, said before she started competing, she was terrified of public speaking, but now because of the pageants she said she has become a better communicator. Klinginsmith said the pageants were designed to teach girls self-confidence.
"It is just putting these girls one step ahead," Klinginsmith said.
Klinginsmith trains the girls in everything from helping them prepare for the judges' questions during interviews to aiding the girls with picking the right dress. Klinginsmith said it had been easy adapting to her new role.
"I am more critical of them than
I was on myself when I competed because I want them to do so well," Klinginsmith said. "I try to watch every little detail I can think of so they can go in with their best foot forward."
Teresa Hays, Natalie's mother, said her daughter had benefited greatly from pageants.
"She is learning life-long lessons," Hays said. "The process has really prepared her for the future."
Klinginsmith also serves as a judge for pageants. She said being on the other side of the table for one-on-one interviews would be an experience that would help her when she decided to compete again after college.
"I won't be as nervous during the interview process, because it is not as stressful of a situation as I thought it was before," Klinginsmith said.

THIS WEEK IN NEWS A timetable in the works to bring home U.S. troops
ASSOCIATED PRESS
U. S. Army soldiers from Charlie Battery, Fires Squadron, Second Stryker Cavalry Regiment prepare to search a classroom as they occupy a school during Operation Fires Festung in Qubah, north of Baghdad in Iraq's volatile Diyala province on July 9.
WASHINGTON — President Bush and Iraq's prime minister have agreed to set a "general time horizon" for bringing more U.S. troops home from the war, a dramatic shift from the administration's once-ironclad unwillingness to talk about any kind of deadline or timetable.
OBAMA AND JOHN KASRATI RECEIVE A TREATING BOWLING FOR THE U.S. MARINES IN SYDNEY, NEW YORK.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
U. S Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, right, shakes hand with U.S marine during a visit to Camp Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sunday. Obama visited with U.S. troops and Afghan officials in this war-weary nation, which is the focal point of his proposed strategy for dealing with threats to the U.S. If elected president.
The announcement Friday put Bush in the position of offering to talk with Iraqi leaders about a politically charged issue that he adamantly has refused to discuss with the Democratic-led Congress at home. It also could complicate the presidential campaign arguments of Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama who have staked out starkly opposite stands about the unpopular war.
What's changed? The sharp reduction in violence in Iraq — to the lowest level in four years has made the country's leaders increasingly confident and more assertive about its sovereignty, giving rise to demands for a specific plan for American forces to leave.
Iraq has leverage because the White House is struggling to salvage negotiations for a long-term agreement covering U.S. military operations there. The White House said its goal is to conclude that deal by the end of this month.
Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki talked about the stalled negotiations during a secure video conference on Thursday, agreeing "on a common way forward to conclude these negotiations as soon as possible," a White House statement said.
Beijing's Olympic shutdown attempts to reduce pollution
BEIJING — Beijing's Olympic shutdown begins Sunday, a drastic plan to lift the Chinese capital's gray shroud of pollution just three weeks ahead of the games.
Half of Beijing's 3.3 million vehicles will be pulled off the roads and many polluting factories will be shuttered. Chemical plants power stations and foundries left open have to cut emissions by 30 percent -and dust-spewing construction in the capital will be halted.
In a highly stage-managed Olympics aimed at showing off the rising power of the 21st century, no challenge is greater than producing crystalline air for 10,500 of the world's greatest athletes.
"Pea-soup air at the opening ceremony would be their worst nightmare," said Victor Cha, director of Asian Studies at Georgetown University.
Striking venues and $40 billion spent to improve infrastructure cannot mask Beijing's dirty air. A World Bank study found China is home to 16 of the 20 worst cities for air quality. Three-quarters of the water flowing through urban areas is unsuitable for drinking or fishing.
Oil prices drop but still too early to tell if they keep
NEW YORK The price of oil recorded its biggest weekly drop ever, and a gallon of gas finally pulled back from its record high. So is it time to declare the energy bubble popped?

Jayhawk dirty talk
I hear the retro bush is making a comeback. Should I let it go below the waist?
-Eager Beaver
Dear Potentially Furry
Friend,
BY PETER SOTO
I am almost certain that the retro bush is not making a come back. Right now it's summertime and swimsuits are being worn by just about every lady who wants to take a dip in the pool. Being that most women don't want stray hairs making an appearance in front of possible swimming partners (most notably those of the male variety), I would assume that there is at least some well thought out trimming going on around the bikini line.
As far as getting in touch with your inner yetti is concerned, I think that is a matter of personal preference. Whether you should keep it natural, give it a modest trim, shave a landing strip, wax it bald or style it into the groomed topary of your dreams is up to you. Some people like it business in the front and party in the back, others don't. I suggest you try different things and see what tickles your fancy. Remember that with all hair styles, what looks good on one person may not look good on you.
There are arguments for and against letting your pubic hair grow to a natural length. Lawrence esthetician Brenda Lehman has been waxing people for fifteen years and told me that her business Simply Wax, 719 Mass., has seen more traffic this year this year than in years past.
"It's more hygienic to shave and wax. It's my understanding from the gynecologists who I've spoken to that shaving and waxing is the most common grooming technique rather than just letting it go," Lehman said. "We grow hair to keep body parts warm. In our modern society it's not as important anymore, but it still holds pheromones."
I've also read that keeping your hair trimmed or even nonexistent
can increase sensitivity in certain parts, particularly in the clitoris. Less of a buffer between you and your man and more exposed surface area should mean easier orgasms, but it could still be a bald faced lie.
Since I don't own a pair of x-ray glasses, I can't tell you exactly how many ladies are letting it go down there. Not that I would want that kind of power (grass!), but hair, as far as I can tell, is just a fashion statement anyway. How many people are really going to see what kind of style is hiding between your legs? Not too many, and once it's gotten that far, they probably aren't going to worry about critiquing your pubic pompadour.
If you want to personally bring the bush back, you might be doing yourself a service in the coming months. With all of your new hair, keeping warm in the winter cold won't be a problem, but I still think the retro bush is retro for a reason. Hair that isn't on your head is rarely seen as attractive in today's culture.
While writing this column the perfect song came up on my playlist. Remember when Justin Timberlake wrote a song cronicaling how he was "bringing sexy back." There was a small backslash from people who claimed that, for them, sexy had never left. I'm inclined to think that after reading my column some people might claim that, for them, the retro bush was never retro to begin with.

Water rates could rise if Kaw water plant fails

those households would increase about $3.15 a month, or $37.80 a year.
Water rates may be on the rise for Lawrence residents in 2009. City commissioners did not object to a report by the city manager's office suggesting a 12 percent water rate increase.
The proposal reported that the average household uses about 8,000 gallons of water per month. Water rates for
Lawrence water rates are the second lowest within nine cities around the Kansas City and Topeka area.
REPORT FROM LAWRENCE CITY MANAGER, DAVID CORLISS
CityManager David Corliss proposed the rate increase based off of aging water treatment intake equipment reliability from the Kansas River. The 34-yearold intake is the only way the Kaw Water
Treatment plant gathers surface water at the Kansas River.
If the plant failed, the only other option for water would be from the Clinton Lake Treatment plant. Staff
members said the Clinton Lake facility might not meet all of the city's water needs.

If the intake failed, it would cost the city more than $6 million to replace.
K e l l i Scheuerman, community manager of The Reserve, 2511 W.
31st St., said although the city had proposed a water rate increase, the increase would not affect rental rates

"Before I would let any utility increase rates for our residents, I would look into the energy saving measures that would make up for the increases," Scheuerman said.
Even with the increase, commissioners said they hoped the increase would not cause serious problems.
According to the report, Lawrence water rates are the second lowest within nine cities around the Kansas City and Topeka area.

'Little' festival helps environment in big way
BY MANDY EARLES
mearles@kansan.com
The Little Green Festival, which celebrates businesses, organizations and others who have gone green.
is coming to Lawrence for its second year in a row. Not many heard about the festival in its first year, which was held at the Big Cottonwood Forest of Burcham Park; this year, with the new location at South Park, 11th
and Massachusetts streets,the festival promises to draw in a much bigger crowd.
power to cleaning supplies. She said people could learn about eco-friendly lifestyles and even meditation.
"There seems to be a lack of understanding for these types of technologies. This will be a great opportunity to help educate the community."
Alison Roepe, founder of the Little Green Festival, said unlike last year, there would be many more activities with music, food, arts and crafts and even guest speakers.
"Last year, it was just one day," Roepe said. "This year we've expanded it to two days. The second day will be all music and maybe food."
She said they would have businesses, some local, showing off the ways they had gone green. Roepe said the businesses had to meet her standards of being sustainable, register and pay a small fee if they wanted to sell any products at the festival.
ARON CROMWELL Owner of Cromwell Environmental
Roepe this year there would be booths on every subject from solar
One business that met Roepe's standards was C rom well Environmental, 825 Vermont St., owned by
Aron and Hannah Cromwell. Aron Cromwell said his business focused on solar energy and was interested in clean air and energy. Cromwell said he was going to speak about solar energy and its uses at the festival.
"There seems to be a lack of understanding for these types of technologies," Cromwell said. "This will be a great opportunity to help educate the community."
Another local business planning to attend the festival is Pawsh Wash and
Pet Health Market, 1520 Wakarusa Drive, Ste. C, owned by Amber and Nichele Nickel. Amber Nickel said she became involved with the festival because Roepe was a customer of theirs and invited them.
"It is so great that Alison is doing this," Nickel said. "This will help consumers understand there are products in their community that are eco-friendly."
Nickel said they planned to bring some eco-friendly products like organic dog treats and biodegradable poop bags to the festival. She said they would have a booth selling their products, but that they'd also be collaborating with others to help educate the public on how to green their pets.
The festival will also have some local organizations that are environmentally conscious like Jayhawk Audubon Society, Chuck Herman, president of the Lawrence chapter, said the festival was a good opportunity not to just educate business consumers but to help educate families. Herman said they planned to have different activities for kids while their parents could learn about the environment.
"We will have cardboard cutouts and markers for the kids to decorate some bird feeders, which they can then take home with them," Herman said.
Another local business owner, Rod Smith, owner of White Chocolate, 1005 Massachusetts St., said he registered to get a booth so he could

He said he enjoyed the festival because he could learn about other businesses and what they were doing to become greener.
"This not only helps me learn about what I can do for my business but also what I can do at home," he said.
Roepe said she thought the festival would encourage everyone to do at least one green thing, and that people would start thinking about what they buy. She said instead of a green movement, it was becoming a green revolution.
"At least I've planted one seed and got them thinking about what they can do," Roepe said.

Campus more accessible as McCollum goes wireless
BY SACHIKO MIYAKAWA
smiyakawa@kansan.com
McCollum Hall will become more friendly to laptop users in the fall. ResNet will install the wireless Internet service in the common areas of the Daisy Hill residence hall, with plans pending for other halls on the hill.
Student Senate sponsored the wireless initiative to install wireless Internet access in academic areas on campus, but the plan didn't include residence halls.
ResNet provides cable Internet service to most of the residence halls and scholarship halls.
McCollum Hall will connect wireless Internet in its study rooms and lobbies in the fall in response to students' demand for the wireless service. ResNet will perform the installation and cover the cost.
Bill Myers, director of assessment and outreach for information services, said ResNet would also provide similar services to the other residence halls on Daisy Hill during the fall semester. He said the plan had been pending and wireless Internet in other residence halls on Daisy Hill would be determined in August.
Myers said the wireless initiative in buildings on campus aimed for 100 percent wireless coverage in
classrooms, labs and selected academic areas, such as libraries.
The two-year project is near to completion. Wireless Internet became available for eight more buildings this month, including Bailey Hall and Learned Hall. The project will be done in a month. When the fall semester begins, students will be able to use wireless Internet with their online IDs anywhere in the academic areas.
Both Student Senate and the University committed $1.3 million for the $2.6 million project. Students pay $5 every semester as part of the required campus fee to install and maintain the wireless service.
Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior and student body president, said he had been looking into wider possibilities of increased wireless services, including providing wireless access to the entire residence halls.
"It's always about finding a balance between accessibility to the wireless access and fees," McGonigle said. "Hopefully, incoming freshmen will be pleased to having wireless in their lobby of their residence halls."
GSP-Corbin Hall and the scholarship halls will not have access to the wireless Internet in their common areas in the fall semester.
Carlie Copeland, Overland Park sophomore, lives in Hashinger Hall
this summer. She does not subscribe to ResNet, but brings her laptop to campus when she needs to use the Internet. She said it didn't create much inconvenience to her because it was only for this summer or two months.
Copeland plans to live in Rieger Scholarship Hall next year. Although the hall will not have the wireless areas like McCollum Hall, she said she would like to receive the service in her hall lobby.
"Everyone will love it," Copeland said. "We have a lot of people hanging out in the lobby."

Facebook attempts to get step up

NEW YORK - The popular online hangout Facebook is sporting a new look to reflect changes in how its members communicate with each other and how they share photos and updates about their lives.
Central to the redesign, to be unveiled Monday, is an expanded Wall, the section of a member's personal profile page where friends can leave comments and photos. People
will now be able to add items more easily, and the Wall will incorporate reports on a user's activities previously found on a user's "MiniFeed."

accompanied major changes in the past, said it has been alerting users of the changes in recent weeks. The site first outlined the facelift in May and plans to let users start testing it this week. A complete switch won't occur for at least another week or two.
The changes stem from the growing comfort people have with sharing details about their personal lives more frequently and in smaller bursts — such as on the "microblogging" site Twitter.

》 CRIME AND WEATHER
Hotter days could result in longer nights for police
BY CHRISTINE D'AMICO cdamico@kansan.com
Police responded to an aggravated battery at the Westminster Inn, 2525 W. Sixth St on Thursday. A male employee had asked guests at a motel to quiet down. According to reports, the guest thought otherwise and punched the man in the face. The temperature that night was 86 degrees.
In summer months Lawrence residents have to deal with balmy nights and unbearable hot days. But could the hot humid conditions also lead to Lawrence residents dealing with
higher crime rates?
Edwin Grant Dexter, president of the National Society for the Study of Education in the early 1900s, was the first to draw a connection between hotter days and higher crime. His research was initially overlooked by the law enforcement offices, however, more bureaus, including the FBI, have begun to draw similar conclusions.
Ellen Cohn, associate professor at the school of criminal justice at Florida International University, attributes the rise in summer crime to school cycles. In summer months more students are left unattended with nothing to do. The boredom
essentially leads to rise in thefts and auto burglaries.
The agitation created by hot conditions and crowds may also account for the rise in assaults.
Last weekend police responded to a fight that broke out at the Cadillac Ranch, 2515 W. Sixth St. Witnesses say that two to three groups of people were involved in the altercation that left one man with a laceration on his head. The temperature that night was 85 degrees.
According to Cohn, crime rates increase with temperature peaking at around 85 degrees. Hotter than 85 degrees may be too hot for physical
activity. However, she said that the domestic assault cases increase with heat.
In the Summer 2007, the average temperature was 86.25 degrees. The average crime cases in summer months were around 1,500. The rest of the year saw an average temperature of 56.6 degrees. The average crime cases during the rest of the year were about 1,330.
Battery cases in Lawrence may not fit into the correlation of weather and violence. The District Attorney's office has only seen a slight increase in felonies during the summer months.
In January, when the temperature
averaged 39.2 degrees, battery cases amounted to 174. In March, with temperatures at 57.2 degrees, battery cases numbered 206. In August, temperatures reached averages of 89.4 degrees and battery cases went down to 186, and in November, cooling off at 54.2 degrees, there were 191.
Theft, on the other hand, more less fit into the theory of weather relating to increased violence. In January there were 62 reports, followed in March with 53. In August 75 thefts were reported, followed in November with 68.

University budget tightening 'will be felt by students'
BY JOHN MILBURN Associated Press
TOPEKA — The Kansas Board of
Regents wants the state's six universities to tighten their belts, and the head of the University says any cuts will be felt by students.
University of Kansas Provost Richard Lariviere said late Monday that the state has asked regents universities to cut spending by 7

percent over the next two years. He said the regents are seeking 2 percent cuts this year and 5 percent in 2009-2010.
The University has asked departments to cut total operating expenses by $5.5 million in the current year and $14.7 million in 2009-2010. However, those figures include money that the university is setting aside to cover anticipated increases in energy costs — $2.6 million this year and $4.5 million next year.
"Even when setting out to protect key instructional programs, it isn't possible to make cuts of this magnitude without affecting students."
Lariviere said cuts would require universities to reduce or eliminate programs and services. The university gets about 24 percent of its budget from state sources and he expected most of the cuts to be in administrative functions.
Regents want to review the six universities' cost-cutting proposals at their annual retreat on Aug. 19 in Wichita.
The need for cuts in state budgets emerged when figures were released June 30 showing a $61 million shortfall in anticipated tax revenues. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has asked state agencies to trim their planned spending for the new fiscal year by up to 2 percent.
Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran said state Budget Director Duane Goossen also would have to approve the cuts.
"Though the Kansas economy is in better shape than many other states, the governor believes we must make targeted, pro-active adjustments in budgets where we can, maximizing savings and minimizing the negative impact on those we serve," Corcoran said.

The envelope was postmarked July 1, 2008, branded with a two stamps and addressed to Asher Fusco.
I cracked the seal and unfolded a 7 inch by 4 inch slip of paper to find just what I asked for but more than I expected. Colby Lewis Cole's birth certificate.

I didn't keep my past a secret,
I just didn't make a point to tell anyone.
In the 18 years I've known my best friend, we graduated elementary, middle and high schools together. We have spent nearly two decades writing songs, playing basketball and killing time with one another, and he doesn't know.
Conveniently enough, common conversation never included talk of birthparents, adoptive parents or anything of the sort. Because I didn't have a reason to tell anyone, I kept quiet and stayed normal.

My hair is brown, my eyes dark brown. My father's eyes are brown his hair is black. My mother's eyes are green, her hair dark brown. At first glance, we're cut from the same cloth.
Closer inspection suggests otherwise.
I carried 180 doughy pounds on my wide-hipped frame as a high school freshman. My father entered college at a wiry 130 pounds — photographic evidence of this exists. My mother is on the far side of 50 and built like a gymnast.
***
Fusco isn't much of a Kansas name. Fusco is a New York name, a Connecticut name or a New Jersey name. A Web search turns up 13 Fuscos in Kansas and more than 300 in New York.
The name Fusco buried so deep in the heartland usually begged a series of questions:
"Fusco? Where's that name come from? Like what country? How's it pronounced?"
"It's Italian," I'd say. "It's Foo-sco. Long u."
The answers were simple, but they

That's how every telephone conversation between my mother and I ends. My three-syllable exit always follows a particular phrase: My mother's punctuates calls with, "I love you."
I say, "All right. Bye."
I didn't know why I ended calls this way, but I wished I could muster the feeling to utter a quick, "I love you." My tongue and brain seemed unable to coordinate in time to pull together anything substantial, so I put my emotions on autopilot.
"All right. Bye."
I spent the better part of high school enduring daily reminders of the importance of the three words by my then-girlfriend and plenty of bad songs. Three years into college, I couldn't remember the last time I had used the phrase.
My search started when I decided to untie my tongue.

During one of those awkwardly bookended phone calls, I finally became an active participant in my

The letter the state of Kansas sent didn't just call me Cody, it provided a lead: Her name was Michelle Dawn Cole.
I headed to a search engine and started digging. I found the Internet full of her name but low on answers.
One Michelle Cole was a movie buff who penned reviews at flixster.com. Another was interested in catching up with high school friends at reunion.com. A third maintained her own blog, devoted to "fun and learning." A fourth earned Emmy nominations for designing the costumes for "In Living Color."
I found Michelle D. Cole of Wichita in an online phone directory. The Web site gave me a map, an address and even a nine-digit postal

When I was finished wondering about where I could have grown up, I nudged the gas and took the next right turn. I headed east toward my home at 207 Courtleigh St. — where I did grow up.
I wondered who mowed the yard, who cleaned the porch and who used the basketball rim hanging above the single garage door.
The driveway beside the khaki house at 442 Vine was empty save for a few paint cans. I didn't bother cluttering it with my car. Instead, I pulled my sedan to a stop in front of the modest split-level and wondered.
I had to take a short look at what could have been to appreciate what I have become, but I didn't need to become someone new.

DIY: Tie-dying shirts could lead to psychedelic fun
stu
Using multiple colors and tying rubber bands in various ways makes a tie-died shirt full of colorful designs. Eight easy steps can help you make your own shirts.
Sachiko Miykawa/KANSAN
White Owl has become an icon of tie-dye on campus, but don't make a quick assertion. Tie-dying is more than spiral patterns or a clash of psychedelic colors. You can enjoy a wide variety, experimenting different designs and subtle color effects.
Here are steps to do tie-dying a shirt. Invite your friends and create your own shirts!
1. Cut plastic bags and cover the table. Put newspaper on the plastic bags. This will prevent the table from staining.
2. Tie a white shirt with rubber bands. Make sure to tie each knot tightly. Knots will become the boundaries of the dyed and nondyed areas. Make as many knots as you want to and create a pattern.
3. To add a variety, you may start tying from the edge. Tying parallel to the bottom will make stripes. You can make several knots to create many circles.
4. Prepare three or four primary colors of dye powder and bottles. Dissolve powder in water and mix in the bottles.
5. Put plastic or rubber gloves on your hands and apply dye on the shirt.
6. To make the color lighter, you may put some water on dyed areas. Pour another color of dye on the dyed areas to mix colors and create gradation. Avoid using too many colors. Two or three different colors are be ideal.
7. After dying, seal the shirt in a plastic bag and leave it for 10 to 12 hours.
8. Rinse the shirt with cold water.
Put detergent and wash the shirt in a washing machine with hot water. After washing, dry the shirt in a dryer.
Tie-dye kits and plain shirts are available at Hobby Lobby, 1801 W. 23rd St. You can also buy tie-dye paints individually to store your favorite combination of colors.

Music: Weak vocals, eclectic sound for 'Waves'
Charlotte Sometimes
WAYES & THE BOTH OF US
From the mouth of a small, fragile-looking face comes a loud alto-demanding voice singing its way onto the music industry.
Charlotte Sometimes is the pseudonym from a character in an 1969 Penelope Farmer novel. This character was known for finding "inspiration detailing her own exploits" and using it as means of "escape and confrontation."
Charlotte Sometimes captures this essence in name and in song. In album, "Waves & the Both of Us," Charlotte expresses herself in songs like "Losing Sleep," which she sings about losing sleep trying to be anything other than herself.
Charlotte uses her music to talk about how she feels in "I Could Just
Kill a Man" and "This is Only for Now" where the guitar is the key instrument. In "Pilot," the piano is strong and gives the song a softer sound than in "Army Men," which the piano gives an edgier-sound.
In some songs, her note transition from low to high are not smooth, making it seems like she's yodeling or struggling to hold the note-. But the eclectic sound of the music compensates for the vocals.

Weekend Project: Tips to decorate for move-in time
Rebekah Scaperlanda/KANSAN
It is almost August and that means it's move-in time, and it's always a challenge to decide how to mix and match decorations with your room-mates. But even if you're not switching homes, it's nice to give your living room a makeover for the start of a new school year. Elvira Angeletti, interior decorator who owns local Elvira Angeletti Interiors, offered some great tips on how to decorate and create a fun and fresh living room.
1. Slipcover your couch
College students pretty much take any couch they can get, even grandma's old floral beauty. This may be good enough if you're into that disheveled look, but for others, a new slipcover will do the trick. Pick a neutral tone so the couch can blend with any accent colors you choose or may already have.
"I am very much in favor of slip covers," Angeletti said. "Patterns hide more imperfections in a lumpy couch, but if the furniture is in pretty decent shape then choose a solid slipcover. A solid cover with textured strips also help ease over imperfections."
2. Put up Curtains
Add curtains with a splash of color. For example, if you choose a chocolate brown slipcover, choose curtains that match, but spice it up a bit with a metallic gold. Yellow-based curtains can also brighten a room.
"With curtains, you have to take the room in totality," Angeletti said "Make sure it complements the sofa. You could use contrasting fabric or plain fabric with a border. Curtains add texture to the room."
3. Add throw pillows
Now that you have a new couch color, you need pillows to go with it. If you're in the mood to throw your money around on throw pillows, head to the store and find ones that complement your color scheme.
"When I want to add a lot of color and texture in pillows, I use the discount stores. You can buy pillows for $10 or $15." Angeletti said "Pillows are an accent, if you have a brown sofa, you can use a lot of color in your pillows. You have to decide what your style is going to be, modern, eclectic, etc, and go from there."
Or, follow the same decorating rules, but opt to buy fabric and to make pillow covers for pillows you already own. Simply cut the fabric into a little more than double the size of your pillow. Fold the fabric piece in half with the color on the inside of the fold. Pin the sides of the fabric
close to the sides of the pillow. Make sure you have straight edges. After it's pinned, sew two sides, stuff the pillow inside and hand stitch the last side. If you're not up for all that hand sowing, try Velcro. Stick Velcro on the last side and viola you have a new pillow.
4. Put up wall decorations
An easy and inexpensive way to decorate the walls of your apartment is by using your own photos as decoration. Instead of having a bulletin board or a collage of pictures, choose a few specific photos that you love, and blow them up to 8x10. Scenic photos in black and white set in a simple frame make classic accents to any living room. Arrange them symmetrically on the wall.
Food: Zesty Vermont BBQ is best overall
— Rebekah Scaperlanda

Vermont Street BBQ, 728 Massachusetts St., does not serve the best barbecue in town, but it does provide the best combination of barbecue and location in Lawrence.
COFFEE SHOP
Vermont Street is a good restaurant experience. The wait staff is helpful, friendly and efficient. The restaurant is clean and is not over priced.More importantly the food is outstanding.
I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, which I prefer over brisket, and it totally lived up to my expectations. Every shed of pork was cooked perfectly, so I didn't have a bunch of burnt edges or excess fat sitting on the side of my plate, and the best part of all was the hickory barbecue sauce.
I was concerned at first because I had never had Vermont Street's sauce, but I was pleasantly surprised. It had a perfect blend of taste and tang, so I didn't have to resort to the spicy sauce for extra flavor.
Similar to the sauce, Vermont Street puts a zesty seasoning on its
fries, which were perfectly cooked to the point where they were crispy, but not burnt.
I would not say that Vermont Street is hands down better than Bigg's BBQ, 2429 Iowa St., because I think the food is equal, but the fact that Vermont Street is in the middle of Seventh and Eighth and Massachusetts streets gives it a decisive advantage.

Movies: 'Dark Knight' is light at end of superhero tunnel
Turns out, all the hype was well-deserved.
"The Dark Knight" is a case study in great filmmaking. The acting is superb, the storyline is rich, and the audio and visual elements are stunning.
The film's strongest point is its villain, The Joker, played to perfection by Heath Ledger. Ledger's leering smile and chilling delivery fit his character's anarchic tendencies and provide nonstop entertainment. There isn't anything innately funny about The Joker's sadistic crimes, but it's hard not to smile at Ledger's brilliant performance.
It's up to Batman (Christian Bale) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) to stop The Joker's crime spree. Bruce Wayne, Batman's alter-ego, becomes the movie's tragic hero as he tries to choose between
justice and love against impossible odds. Both Bale and Eckhart deliver in "The Dark Knight," playing multi-faceted and complex roles.
Director Christopher Nolan follows up the success of "Batman Begins" by taking the Batman series deeper and darker than ever before. Nolan's version of Gotham is visually appealing and the dialogue is carefully crafted, not to mention his stellar action sequences, which make the 152-minute movie fly by.
If there's a negative stigma attached to comic-book movies, "The Dark Knight" sheds it.

Book: 'Mountain' fable worth reading
Epic battles, an evil princess and a prophet sent by God to save his people are the interweaving fibers of Coelho's fable, "The Fifth Mountain." The prophet Elijah is as confused and lost as any young man, but carries the weighty burden of saving the city of Akbar's inhabitants from invading Assyrians.
Guided only by the occasional voice of his guardian angel, Elijah must use his quick wit to avoid assassination and eventually return to Israel and stop the worship of Baal. He doubts himself continually, but realizes that he cannot understand God's plan for him until his task is finished. During his years in Akbar, he is aided by the help of a widow, who believes it her duty to offer Elijah a safe haven in her home.
As the story unfolds, Coelho uses every character to reiterate that one must follow their destiny, and that the universe will conspire to fulfill that destiny. As the story winds to an end, Elijah is triumphant in finding love, exalting God, and understanding a tiny piece of life's many mysteries.

Although this book falls short of the inspiring words of Coelho's previous masterpiece, "The Alchemist," it is soul-stirring and worthy of a read.

Exercising in water burns about 100 calories more than exercising on land. It requires some endurance, though, to exercise in water.
Work up a sweat while cooling off with water aerobics. Water aerobics will allow you to exercise outdoors without overheating during the hot summer months. You burn about 100 more calories walking or running underwater than on land. Water exercises also provide resistance in all directions, while land exercises only provide resistance against gravity. This helps to more efficiently tone and strengthen your body.
Jogging, jumping, squats, kicking and dancing are all effective forms of exercise underwater. If you are a beginner, start in shallow water and exercise for 20 minutes. As your endurance increases, move to deeper water and increase your workout time to 45 minutes. When you are finished exercising your energy will be renewed, and you won't be

Already accomplished Taylor is right at home
BY JESSE TEMPLE jtemple@kansan.com
Tyshawn Taylor reaches back into his basketball-playing memory bank, searching for an answer.
Asked to name the last time he played on a losing basketball team, the University's newest point guard prospect is coming up blank.
No season stands out during his elementary school days in Hoboken, N.J. His junior high teams in Clearwater, Fla. were pretty good, too.
He didn't lose much with the Westchester Hawks, his AAU team in high school. Defeat rarely occurred when he played for St. Anthony High School in New Jersey — perhaps the winningest program in high school basketball history.
He settles on his freshman year in
high school, before he moved back to New Jersey. At the time, Taylor was attending Countryside High School in Florida. And even that team finished either 10-9 or 10-8, Taylor said.
"I've never played on a losing team in my life," Taylor said. "I just can't do it."
It should seem only natural then that Taylor's winding recruiting path led him to Kansas. Originally committed to Marquette University, Taylor opted out in April when the coach there left for another job. Taylor then became enamored with the Jayhawks — a team that hasn't finished with a losing record in 25 years. That's seven years before Taylor was even born.
"This is a winning tradition," Taylor said of the University. "I think it is incredible."
Last year, Taylor's St. Anthony team finished as state champions in New Jersey at 32-0. The Friars also ended their season as the No. 1-ranked high school basketball team in the nation in both the USA Today and ESPN polls.
The Univeristy, meanwhile, didn't perform too shabbly, either, going 37-3 and winning its first national championship in 20 years.
That means only Taylor can lay claim to going from the high school national champion to the college national champion.
It sounds like a match made in crimson and blue heaven. But will the lanky, 6-foot-3 guard's play mesh as seamlessly on the court at the University as his winning background does?
"I know when he gets to college he is going to play because he is
Taylor brings what he has dubbed an "east coast swagger" to Kansas, displaying a quiet confidence on the court, precision passing skills and nasty blow-by moves on defenders to get to the rim — all qualities that helped St. Anthony to an 86-4 record during Taylor's three seasons there.
hungry, he's team oriented and he has a lot of intangibles," said Bob Hurley, Taylor's high school coach at St. Anthony. "I don't know if all these other players have those things that he possesses. I think he is going to find his way."
"He's unique," Hurley said of Taylor, who averaged 10 points and five assists per game in high school last season. "He's one of those few guys that can be on both ends of an
alley-oop dunk."
According to KU assistant coach Kurtis Townsend, Taylor has also demonstrated two important intangibles since arriving at the University for summer classes last month: a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn.
Townsend, who isn't allowed to watch Taylor or the six other KU newcomers until classes begin in the fall, said he had heard only positive reviews about Taylor. He said Taylor had been spending hours in the weight room to bulk up his thin, 170-pound frame.
"He's a guy getting everyone together trying to play pick up."

Townsend said. "He seems like a natural leader and a guy who wants to get better everyday and will do whatever it takes."
Fairly or unfairly, the comparisons of Taylor's game have already begun to match up against two of the Univeristy's recently departed guards
from that national championship team: Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers. Taylor, who should see plenty of their minutes next season and is two inches taller than both, brings an east coast toughness to Kansas just as Robinson did. And Taylor will wear Chalmers' old digits
next season — No.15.
"He might have the leadership qualities of Russell," said Townsend, not wanting to bunch the three guards together. "I don't know if he quite shoots it as good as Mario, but he knows how to score. I think he's got some qualities the other guys have, but I think he's going to be his own player."
Taylor said the toughest part of moving to the Midwest was leaving his family members behind. Maintaining a winning tradition at the University just as the previous guards did should make him feel right at home.

Versatile guard boasts Juco hardware
A champion on the Juco level, Tyrone Appleton fills hole in Jayhawk backcourt
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
Incoming guard Tyrone Appleton and the eight Jayhawks returning from last year's team have something in common they're all former national champions.
Appleton led his junior college team, Midland College, to a national championship his freshman year. Now, the junior joins a team defending the Division I national title next season.
"It's a big adjustment." Appleton said. "But if you're a basketball player, you've got to get used to it."
Championships aren't where the similarities between Midland and Kansas end. Much like the Jayhawks last season, the Chaparrals relied on a number of players to score equally instead of following the lead of a superstar.
Appleton was the second leading scorer on the team with 13 points per
game. He also dished out five assists and grabbed nearly two steals per game. Kansas coach Bill Self said he thought Appleton would fit right in as a Jayhawk.
"Tyrone has won big at the junior college level and certainly has sacrificed individual statistics for the

Self also likes that Appleton's game is versatile. Appleton can play any guard position on the floor.

"He's a tough city kid," Little said. "He'll bring toughness to the team."
And Appleton is just getting tougher. He said the biggest adjustment from junior college to Kansas so far was the sessions in the weightroom.
Strength coach Andrea Hudy is keeping Appleton busy between attending classes and playing pick-up basketball this summer.
"As a JUCO, you hit the weights a little bit," Appleton said. "But our strength and conditioning coach here — she's real tough."
Appleton is hoping the hard work will pay off. As a junior, he's one of the only veterans on the team and Self said he expected Appleton to serve as a leader. He's got a championship to prove he's capable of it.

Kansas has plenty of questions to answer heading into next season. After all, losing an entire starting lineup tends to shake things up.
One of the new Jayhawks could provide an answer to the team's personnel problems at more than one position. Freshman forward Marcus Morris is big enough to battle in the post and athletic enough to play on the perimeter.
"My best strength is that I'm versatile," Morris said. "I can play a lot of positions on the court, and I'll play wherever coach Self puts me."
Morris played the role of scorer at Prep Charter High School in Philadelphia, averaging 27 points and 12 rebounds per game. Rivals com ranked Marcus the 29th-best overall player and eighth-best small forward in his class.
ESPN.com's recruiting service said Morris was a reliable shooter but lacked advanced ball-handling skills. But freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor said the 220-pound forward had the athleticism necessary to play away from the basket.
"Marcus is 6-8 but he can play on the wing," Taylor said. "If you put a big on him, he'll beat him off the dribble. If the defender is small, he can post him up."
In the absence of NBA draftee and former Jayhawk Brandon Rush, Morris could fight for an immediate spot in Kansas' starting lineup. Morris will compete against junior college transfer Mario Little and sophomore guard Tyrel Reed for minutes, against whom he has a distinct advantage; height

If Marcus secures a place in the Jayhawks' rotation, he would probably play alongside his brother, Markieff. He said the connection he had with his brother felt like second-nature.
"It's special," Marcus said. "We've been playing with each other all our lives so it's never anything different. I always know where he is going to be — it's just always been that way."
Morris said friendly summer pickup games with his new teammates were not the toughest part of his summer — he said he was more concerned with adjusting to college life off of the court.
Markieff
Markieff Morris speaks in subdued tones, his deep voice granting brief glimpses of the freshman forward's demeanor. When asked about his basketball skills, he strays from adjectives in favor of the humble basics.
"I'm just not used to being at college yet, but KU is a great place," Morris said.
According to one of his more talkative teammates, the power forward's ability to take his cool and collected style onto the court is a positive.
"Whenever Markieff is in the post, he's really smooth," said freshman guard Tyshawn Taylor. "A lot of big guys get worked up and get too aggressive down low, but he's got some finesse. He's polished around the basket."
Markieff is the larger and less-
"I can do a lot of things, whether I'm in the paint or anywhere," Morris said. "I scored a lot in high school, but I'll do whatever coach needs me to do. I just want to get out there and play."
Aldrich played well down the stretch last season to put himself in position to start this season. Recruiting Web site Rivals.com lists Morris as the 50th-best prospect in the 2008 class and Thomas at 150th.
heralded half of the Morris twins, a pair of incoming freshmen brothers from Philadelphia.
Morris should have ample opportunity to play early in his career at Kansas. The departure of top posts Arthur, Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson means Kansas coach Bill Self will divide playing time between Morris, sophomore center Cole Aldrich and freshman forward Quintrell Thomas.
At 6-foot-10 and 230 pounds, Markieff is cut from the same physical cloth as former Kansas standout Darrell Arthur. Though Morris didn't draw as much praise as Arthur through high school, their specialties are similar.
In 2007 at Philadelphia's Prep Charter High School, Morris averaged 23 points and 15 rebounds per game. Earlier this year, playing for post-grad school APEX Academy in Pennsauken, N.J., he posted 37 points and made 10 three-pointers in one game.
When Markieff committed to Kansas in November, Self said he thought Markieff was one of "the most underrated players in the country." Self said the forwards ability
to play inside and out was his best skill.
"Markieff is a big forward that can play either spot on your front line," Self said. "He is a very good low post player."
Neither Markieff nor his brother Marcus have met the NCAA's academic qualifications yet, but are finishing up their first summer school sessions at the University. Marcus said they were "very close" to qualifying, and that they needed to finish one core course to become eligible.

FRESH FACES
Kansas City's Releford is battle-tested
Freshman spends summer playing for U.S. team in Argentina
KAW
BY RUSTIN DODD
dodd@kansan.com
Incoming freshman guard Travis Releford sits behind the bench during a Kansas basketball game. After moving to Lawrence in June, Releford played for the USA U-18 team in Argentina in July.
Travis Releford sightings have been scarce this summer at the Releford household in Kansas City, Mo.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Releford, an incoming freshman on the Kansas basketball team and one of seven newcomers to the program, settled into the Jayhawker Towers in June, enrolled in summer classes and started preparing for his first season of college basketball. Releford's younger brother, Trevor, has hardly seen him since.
Of course, that's partly because Releford spent the last three weeks playing for USA Basketball at the 2008 FIBA Americas Under 18 Championship in Formosa, Argentina. The U.S. won the silver medal.
gifted and traveling in Argentina. Sounds like a pretty nice way to spend the summer, huh? But according to Trevor, going to Argentina wasn't the real thrill.
Let's see: 18 years old, athletically
"He's played in China and Germany before," Trevor said, so big brother wasn't easily awed by international travel.
No, the real joy came from surviving the team's tryout camp in Washington, D.C., earlier this month. Releford proved himself against some of the best young players in the country.
"He made it over Lance Stephenson," Trevor said. "So he was real excited about that."
game. But they had to settle for silver after losing 77-64 to Argentina in the final. Releford scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting against Argentina, and averaged 7.2 points per game during the tournament.
For the uninitiated, Stephenson is one of the top high school players in the 2009 recruiting class.
Releford and his teammates won their first four games at the championships, advancing to the gold medal
Releford returns home this week, but Trevor still might not be seeing much of his older brother. Growing up in Kansas City, it didn't take much for Releford to say no to a list of schools that included Missouri and Oklahoma amongst others.
Releford's mother, Venita Vann, said Releford leaned toward Kansas.
"There were other choices, but he was going to go with KU all the way," Venita Vann said in January while watching her son finish up his high school career at Bishop Miege in Kansas City.
Rush, Mario Chalmers and Roderick Stewart — Releford, a 6-foot-5 guard, should get ample opportunity for playing time this season.
And thanks to the departure of five Kansas guards from last year's team — Russell Robinson, Brandon
So if the Releford family wants to see Travis this winter, the best place to do it might be on the floor of
Allen Fieldhouse.

LITTLE (CONTINUED FROM 19)
35-2 record and a tournament appearance.
But he played his last game as an Indian in March. He started to concentrate on schoolwork and qualifying academically for the next three months, which left barely any time for basketball.
His Kansas debut in June was even more impressive considering he hadn't played regularly. Only a little more than 12 hours after moving to Lawrence, Little played in a scrimmage game with teammates and alumni as part of Self's youth basketball camp.
The campers chanted the name of current NBA forward Julian Wright when he entered the gym. The player who had to guard Wright, Little, didn't garner any applause.
But Little got the best of Wright on that day. Little's team won the game after he held Wright to three rebounds.
"He's coming here and expecting to produce," Wright said. "I think that's the thing he's going to do. He's long and athletic so he can
give people fits on the defensive end."
The scrimmage wasn't Wright's first run-in with Little. The two used to play together on a Chicagobased AAU team. Wright said some people made a mistake and forgot about Little after he went to junior college.
Fellow junior college transfer Tyrone Appleton had no trouble remembering him. Appleton's junior college, Midland, beat Little and Chipola in the junior college national championship two years ago. Appleton said he joked with Little about it but that he looked forward to being teammates at Kansas.
"We should be pretty good together this year," Appleton said. "He's a great player and I like to play with good people."
And he's got the measurements and qualities that should remind Jayhawk fans of a great player.

FRESH FACES
Thomas begins New Jersey trend
BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com
Beware Kansas fans, the bad puns involving the state of New Jersey are coming shortly. That's what happens when four of the seven newcomers to the Kansas basketball program played their high school basketball in the Garden State.
Kansas coach Bill Self ventured from the fruited plains and found four top prep players along the leather turnpike.
Incoming guard Tyshawn Taylor played at St. Anthony's in Jersey City, NJ., and incoming forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris — who actually hail from Philadelphia — played ball at Apex Academy in Pennsauken, N.J..
But it's Quintrell Thomas, a 6-foot-8 incoming freshman forward, who can be blamed with starting the trend.
Thomas, a native of Elizabeth, N.J., committed to play at Kansas last October. The Morrises and
Taylor followed, and now Kansas is stocked with East Coast talent, a commodity that was once quite scarce in Lawrence.
As an undersized power forward, a few recruiting experts have likened Thomas' game to that of former Jayhawk, Darnell Jackson. Thomas showed glimpses of that game at two alumni scrimmages earlier this summer. Thomas was physical and an active rebounder, although while standing next to former Jayhawk Julian Wright, Thomas showed he might be closer to 6-foot-6 than the 6-foot-8 he has often been listed at.
The Jayhawks may need Thomas to play an important role early on in his career. And if Thomas and mates from New Jersey are successful, fans may hope Self journeys out to the Jersey shore more often.
With Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun graduated and Darrell Arthur's early entry into the NBA draft, sophomore Cole Aldrich is Kansas' only returning front court player.

FOOTBALL
New complex brings out the 'whoa-factor'
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
Kansas Athletics Director Lew Perkins recently stopped by the Anderson Family Football Complex.
Perkins has made periodic visits to the $33 million facility for the last year, watching it grow from a hole in the ground to a football player's paradise.
"They said, 'Whoa, what a place this is," Perkins said.
But on this specific day, a group of recruits were touring the complex. They had just seen every inch of the 80,000 square-foot building and were walking up the spiral staircase near the main entrance. Perkins couldn't help but overhear one of their conversations.
Exactly what Perkins wanted to hear. The facility possesses a certain woah-factor because of its state-of-the-art technology and top-notch furnishings.
Brad Nachtigal, associate athletics
director, said Kansas had lagged behind in the race for better football facilities for years in the Big 12 Conference. Not anymore. Nachtigal said the Anderson Family Football Complex was one of the five best collegiate football complexes in the country.
The smell of fresh paint still lingers in the building and the front desk is still hidden under a blue tarp. But it's ready for its inhabitants. The coaches move in this week. The players are coming two weeks later just in time for the Aug. 2 start of practice. The currently quiet rooms will transform into the Kansas football headquarters.
MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM
It might be called the 'multi-purpose room,' but this apartment-sized room is all about the recruits.
It's located about 15 steps on the brown, red and blue carpeted floor, away from the entrance and equipped with a small kitchen area to prepare food for the targeted high school stars.
The blue walls are painted with pictures of Kansas football legends such as John Riggins and Gale Sayers. On the west wall, 11 plaques hang commemorating all of the Jayhawks' First-Team All American selections.
COACH MARK MANGINO'S OFFICE
The office adjacent to the multi-purpose room might seem like it's out of a science-fiction movie, but it's just Mangino's new quarters.
Mangino won't have to move much if he doesn't want to in his office. From his desk, he can control everything in the room from the window blinds to the lights.
Other luxuries include a 60-inch flat-screen HG television — the biggest of the 58 TVs dispersed around the facility — and a full-sized bathroom with a toilet and a shower.
"He has one of the best offices of anyone on campus as far as views," Howard said.
VIDEO ROOM
Down the hall south of Mangino's office is a room filled with a desk and stacks of video-recording equipment.
If the staff wants to film practice on any given day, the video can stream straight into the room and be seen on one of two flat screen TVs. The video technician can also make copies of the practice on DVD or VHS fast enough to be ready by the time the coaches leave the field.
The room can also control the complex's 58 TVs. From here, messages can be set that will be seen on all the televisions.
"Gone are the days where we have to run a player down with a note," Nachtigal said.
MRKONIC AUDITORIUM
Hadl Auditorium in the Wagnon Student-Athlete Center just didn't work for the football team.

It wasn't big enough to accommodate the whole team when Mangino spoke and couldn't be split up so the offense and defense could meet at the same time.
Mrkonic Auditorium fixes both problems. It can seat 136 people at once and dividers can come down to split the room into two. The chairs are also designed to hold up to 500 pounds.
LOCKER ROOM
The Athletics Department's main objective with the new locker room was to make it as convenient as possible for the players.
and medical stations as well as the laundry room are all connected to the new locker room.
But there's a catch. Mangino requested that the room could be locked from the outside so if the Jayhawks aren't performing as well as their coach expects on the field, the lounge could be off limits.
"No Wiis," Howard said. "We don't want anyone to get injured trying to hit something hard."
The Jayhawks will have to settle for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles instead. Game systems will be hooked up to each of the three 35-inch flatscreen TVs.
Instead of having to scamper around the facility on game days to get to everywhere they needed to go, players can enjoy a centralized location for all their needs. Treatment
Located 24 feet underground, the weight room can get a little chilly perfect for a place where the whole team will come to sweat.
"They'll never have to leave the comfort of the locker room." Nachtigal said.
PLAYERS'LOUNGE
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING ROOM
There are 115 lockers in the room and each is large enough to fit a full-sized refrigerator with space to spare.
The louge is equipped with everything the athletes could ever want — well, except maybe one thing.
In addition to weight stations that stretch the entire back wall, there is also a conditioning room, nutrition area and 30 yards of field turf.
Howard said the weight room was just as nice as any college team's in the nation. It's the final piece of the newest football facility in the country.
"You're always in the facilities arms race," Howard said. "We're sending a message to the rest of the Big 12."

Big 12 goes the distance with passing yards
BY CASE KEEFER ckeefer@kansan.com
Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell led the country in passing yards last season with 5,705. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford ranked first nationally in passing efficiency. Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel was a Heisman Trophy finalist.
Don't forget about Kansas' Todd Reeseing who set 21 school records, Texas' Colt McCoy who completed 65 percent of his passes or Oklahoma State's Zac Robinson who also rushed for 847 yards.
"I would say that we're getting really good quarterback play in this league," Kansas coach Mark Mangino said at the end of last season. "There are some very capable guys who can throw the ball."
Yeah, the Big 12 Conference became a haven for absurd passing numbers last season. The top nine quarterbacks threw more than 31,000 yards - roughly the distance between Mount Oread and DeSoto.
The scary part is all of them will return this year when college football starts at the end of August. At this rate, they might throw for enough
yards to equal the distance between Lawrence and Kansas City.
College football expert Phil Steele said Daniel, Reasing, Harrell, Bradford and McCoy were all Heisman candidates.
"The overall strength of the quarterbacks back just makes the whole league stronger," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "Even though we were a year ago, you'd expect it to be even more so this year."
It's hard to think that the Big 12 was traditionally known for teams employing a run-first philosophy. In the conference's inaugural season in 1996, Colorado's Koy Detmer led the league with 3,156 yards passing. Five Big 12 quarterbacks - Harrell, Daniel, Reesing, McCoy and Kansas State's Josh Freeman - threw for more than that last season.
So what's the origin of this sudden offensive outbreak? The spread.
The spread is an offensive system that uses up to five receivers to stretch the defense out. The receivers run short, precise routes and count on the quarterback to make accurate throws. If all goes according to plan, it can be deadly accurate.
Just ask Texas Tech coach Mike Leach. He implemented the offense
in Lubbock in 2000 after being named the new Red Raider coach. Texas Tech went on to lead the conference in passing offense every season from 2001 to 2007.
Now, it's everywhere. Teams such as Kansas, Missouri, Baylor and Oklahoma State are running a form of the spread.
Texas Tech, Missouri and Kansas ran no-huddle spread offenses last season. By not huddling, teams can move at a faster pace and disallow defenses to get set.
That trend will also grow this season in the Big 12. Oklahoma
and Colorado have announced they won't huddle and other teams will likely toy with the tactic.
"The more other offenses are snapping it quicker," Stoops said, "you want to make sure you're getting the same number of tries with it."
The more tries means more potential for Big 12 quarterbacks to post inflated passing totals. The conference has some guys who are capable of doing it.

SPORTS BRIEF Kivisto removed from company, creditors seize
Tom Kivisto was removed as president and CEO of SemGroup LP on Friday. With SemGroup LP, the company Kivisto founded in 2001, facing bankruptcy, creditors seized control and replaced many high ranking officials in the company. Kivisto was one of the major donors in the building of the new Anderson Family Football Complex that opened this summer. The football field at Memorial Stadium was renamed Kivisto Field before the 2006 season. Kivisto was the starting point guard for the Kansas 1974 Final Four team.

Throwing for the Olympics
Scott Russell, former Kansas javelin thrower, qualified to go to Beijing with a 272.97 foot throw.
BY RUSTIN DODD dodd@kansan.com
The throw that qualified Scott Russell for the Olympic Games in Javelin is immortalized on YouTube — albeit with a slight caveat.
Through grainy home video, you can see Russell, a former Kansas javelin thrower and current graduate student, skipping down the javelin run-up, reaching full stride and uncorking a violent throw punctuated with a grunt. The result? A throw of 83.20 meters, or 272.97 feet, and a throw long enough to give Russell the Olympic or A-standard. The translation? Russell had qualified for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
This is where the caveat comes
in. In order to earn a spot on the Canadian Olympic team, Russell had to go through a little formality known as the Canadian Track and Field Olympic Trials. But because Russell was the only Canadian Javelin thrower to earn the Olympic
A-standard, he just needed to finish in the top four.
"I was the most relaxed I've ever been for an Olympic Trials or for a national championship," Russell said.
trials on July 5 with a throw of 74.74 meters.
And it showed. In his hometown of Windsor, Ontario, in front of nearly 40 friends and family members, Russell finished first at the
"The pressure was being in front of my family and friends," Russell said.
Russell is now back in Lawrence with his fiancée, Tiffany, completing a daily workout schedule in preparation for his first Olympics. He's a little more than two weeks away from the pageentry and prestige of the largest sport-

ing event in the world. On Aug. 8, he'll walk in to Beijing National Stadium under the Canadian flag, as the Olympic torch is lit in front of a worldwide television audience. The
odyssey that started in Windsor and was continued at the University as Russell won two NCAA individual championships will culminate with the Olympic Javelin competition on July 17. But to understand all the triumphs and failures, all the records
and injuries, you have talk to Dan Russell.

His phone rang back in Windsor on June 15. The person on the other end said just one word and Dan

"I was the most relaxed I've ever been for an Olympic Trials or for a national championship."
SCOTT RUSSELL KU Graduate Student
Russell knew exactly what had happened.
"Bangarang," Dan's son, Scott, said from miles away in British Columbia.
With the home camcorder recording, Scott had thrown the javelin 83.20 meters that day. He was that much closer to realizing his Olympic dream.
But by that time, Scott had realized that his future was in track and field and not on the basketball floor.
"When he said 'bangarang', I knew exactly what he meant," Dan said.
Scott started throwing javelin in the ninth grade. But success wasn't immediate.
Dan Russell had always steered his kids toward the basketball court. He had grown to love the game in high school and he went on to play basketball in college. He coached his kids as they grew up — and up. Dan's son, Scott, would grow to be 6-foot-9. Scott had game, too. Hed make two All-city teams in high school and he attracted interest from the University of Windsor and the University of Detroit-Mercy.
"This isn't my game," Scott told his dad.
But at the urging of his Dad, Scott stuck with it. Dan hoped the javelin would help his basketball.
"You'll get in the weight room and you'll get
stronger," Dan said to his son.
If you listen to Dan long enough, he'll tell you all about his son's successes. Russell won the All-Ontario javelin and discus titles during high school. He was an All-American at Kansas. He set the Canadian javelin record in front of 45,000 Canadians in the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton. And he's won seven of the last eight National Canadian javelin championships.
But Dan talks about the setbacks too. There was the groin injury that hampered Russell's attempt at qualifying for the 2004 Olympics in Athens, and the period in 2005, when Athletics Canada quit funding Russell after a string of poor performances.
With his funds dwindling, Russell nearly gave up on his dream. But sitting out at dinner one night in 2005, Russell's old coach gave Russell a letter. Enclosed was a $2,500 check

from an anonymous donor who wanted to see Russell continue to pursue his dream.
Scott Russell prepares to release the javelin during the final round of competition during the Kansas Relays. Russell, a former KU track athlete, qualified for the 2008 Olympics with a throw of 272.97 feet.
"Other people cared enough about him and had enough confidence in him to do something like that," Dan said. "Imagine, what are they thinking right now?"
A month after receiving the check, Russell set a new Canadian record of 84.41 meters or 276.94 feet.
Russell's funding returned and he began to look towards the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
*****
Russell was back in Lawrence last week. The trials are behind him, and so are the injuries and disappointments of the past.
The trip to China is quickly approaching. Dan says if his son makes top 12 in Beijing, the trip will have been a success.
To do more than that, Dan says, his son may have to throw farther than he ever has.
But as Scott says, "It's just a relief to finally accomplish a lifetime dream."
"Possible? Maybe it's possible," Dan said.
Dan won't be heading to Beijing. He had to choose between the Olympics and Scott's upcoming wedding. He'll follow the games from home, and if he wants to see his son's Olympic throws, he may have to upload another grainy YouTube video (original can be viewed at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl4I1Wddscg).
Of course, he may be able to catch a glimpse of his son as he walks into the Olympic stadium under the
Maple Leaf — as an Olympian.

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS It's Paddy's day — again, Harrington wins Open
SOUTHPORT, England Padraig Harrington enjoys few moments more than the walk down 18th fairway of a century-old links course, especially with a four-shot lead in the British Open and the engraver putting the final touches on the oldest trophy in golf.
He stopped Sunday to share the
moment with Greg Norman, who knows this path all too well.
Celebration for one, sympathy for the other.
"I did say to him coming down 18 that I was sorry it wasn't his story that was going to be told," Harrington said. "I did feel that, but I wanted to win myself. In this game, you have to take your chances when you get them."
Harrington seized his opportunity by smashing a pair of fairway

metals into the par 5s that carried him to a 32 on the back nine of blustery Royal Birkdale and made him Europe's first player in more than a century to win the British Open two years in a row.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brett Favre stuck to the script, declining to address his public rift with the Green Bay Packers in an appearance at Lambeau Field on Saturday.
In town to present former teammate Frank Winters for induction into the Packers' Hall of Fame at a banquet Saturday night, Favre briefly spoke with reporters about his former center's career before abruptly stepping off the stage and ducking out a side door.
But before he left, Favre paused to praise the place where he used to play — and now is trying to make a play to get away from.
"That's the thing about Green Bay," said Favre, who spoke for about three minutes. "It's a special place. There's a lot of tradition. You think of the Packers, you think of all these great names, and to be
a part of that — and I know Frank feels honored — is a special thing. I'm thankful that he asked me to be here."

Officials of the team formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics said Sunday they have concluded the first phase of a season ticket request list. Those on the list signed up in just 16 days.
Team spokesman Dan Mahoney said officials are pleased with the level of support for the NBA in Oklahoma City. Mahoney added that Oklahoma City's sales team will contact fans to provide specific ticket details.
KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City reported Saturday night that the team will be named the Thunder.
Jose saves Royal's day, KC beats Chicago White Sox
Guillen charged an eighth- inning single and threw a strike to catcher Miguel Olivo to nail A.J. Pierzynski at the plate, helping the Royals preserve a lead in an 8-7 win over the Chicago White Sox.
CHICAGO — Jose Guillen's right arm saved the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.
Royals rookie shortstop Mike Aviles has seen Guillen throw before, but didn't think he even had a chance to stop Pierzynski from scoring on Brian Anderson's single to left.
"Everybody in the whole entire league knows that he has a cannon for an arm," Aviles said. "When the ball got hit I was running toward the hole and I thought for sure he was going to score. He came in charging hard and made a great throw home. That was a big momentum swing."
The Royals won two of three against the White Sox.

JAYHAWKS GONE PRO
Former players gain from NBA summer league
BY JESSE TEMPLE jtemple@kansan.com
Summer league games in the National Basketball Association certainly won't be confused with the league's regular season contests that begin in three and a half months.
In July, the superstars are still at home. Rosters generally consist of rookies, other young players and basketball Journeymen trying to make a team. And the rules are a bit lax, too, as players are allotted 10 fouls instead of the usual six.
That doesn't mean the Kansas hoopsters taken in last month's NBA draft aren't getting anything out of it.
In fact, perhaps no player has benefited more from participating in the summer league already than former Jayhawk Mario Chalmers.
This year's version of the summer league has been split into two sections thus far. The first was a six-team league from July 7 to July 11 in Orlando, which included Chalmers' Miami Heat team. The second was the bigger, 21-team field in Las Vegas, which began on Friday and runs until July 20. Both Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson are currently playing there for their respective franchises.
Chalmers played so well for the Heat that he earned second-team all-league honors in Orlando, averaging 15.8 points and 5.4 assists in five games. He also was rewarded for his play with a three-year, $2.3 million contract, even though Chalmers was not guaranteed any money by being selected in the NBA draft's second round.
"He kind of proved what we optimistically thought was good about Mario with his play in the Orlando Summer League," Pfund said. "He handled the ball very well as a point guard, shot the ball well and defended very well against a couple guys drafted very high."
Heat general manager Randy Pfund said the summer league played a pivotal role in determining Chalmers' value.
Pfund was referring to Chalmers match-up with No. 1 overall draft pick Derrick Rose and No.4 pick Russell Westbrook.Against each player, Chalmers scored i1 points and averaged five assists.
"We already were very high on him, but it kind of validated the pick we made with Mario and led to us
being convinced that doing a three year contract with him made the most sense," Pfund said. "Getting those five games under his belt was a great opportunity to get some experience under fire."
Jackson made his pro debut Monday in the Las Vegas Summer League for Cleveland. Selected No. 52 in the draft by Miami and traded to Cleveland, Jackson is expected to sign a two-year contract worth about $1.2 million. Cavaliers assistant general manager Chris Grant said the summer league was a good opportunity for Jackson to show what made him so valuable while at Kansas.
"We expect him to compete at a high level, defend and be open to coaching," Grant said. "It's the first time around the block. So we're learning as much as they're learning."
In his first game with the Cavaliers, Jackson scored 10 points on 4-of-9 shooting with eight rebounds.
Arthur also made his professional debut in Las Vegas, playing for the Memphis Grizzlies. He struggled mightily in his team's first three games, committing a whopping 26 fouls. Arthur bounced back, however, to score 23 points with six
rebounds on Monday, this time picking up five fouls.
The only Jayhawk playing on an NBA team this season that did not have the benefit of participating in his team's summer league was Brandon Rush. Rush's Indiana Pacers began the Orlando Summer League on July 7, but Rush — who was traded from Portland to Indiana on draft night — did not officially join the Pacers until July 9. On Tuesday afternoon, Rush signed his contract, which will pay him more than $3.1 million over the next two seasons.
Indiana president of basketball operations Larry Bird said he was certain that missing summer league wouldn't affect Rush's NBA readiness. As a lottery pick, Rush had much less to prove by attending the summer league than other KU players.
"With his talents, I think once real practice starts, he'll get a better feel for it," Bird said. "But he'll be here most of the summer. Just having him here this summer, getting acclimated to the city, that's a major factor."

SPORTS BRIEF Bush gives U.S. Olympic athletes encouragement
WASHINGTON — President Bush gave U.S. Olympians a rousing White House send-off to next month's games in Beijing, urging them to "compete swifter, higher and stronger" but also be mindful they will be "ambassadors of liberty" to the people of China and elsewhere.
Bush is attending the opening ceremony and the first few days of the Aug. 8-24 games. Standing in the Rose Garden with about two dozen athletes who will compete in the Beijing Olympics and the Paralympics there in September, Bush said he is "fired up" to watch some of the competition.
"I can't wait to salute our athletes, and I can't wait to share in the joy of your triumphs," he said.
Human rights groups had urged Bush to boycott the opening ceremony to oppose China's crackdown on protesters in Tibet. The Bush administration argued that the Olympics are a sporting event not to be politicized, and that the president will raise human and religious rights with Chinese officials in the appropriate context.

Jayhawks hope consistency will lead them to NCAA

Bonnie Henrickson will tell you she loved getting the chance to coach her Kansas women's basketball team for two extra weeks last season. Loved preparing them for two more games in March. And loved the tournament atmosphere that surrounded the Jayhawks.
Still, coach Henrickson admitted the experience wasn't exactly satisfying because her team was competing in the less significant Women's National Invitational Tournament postseason, and were not selected as one of the top 64 teams in the country for the NCAA Tournament.
As the University prepares for the 2008-2009 season, the players and their coach are out to prove they're capable of playing in the only postseason tournament that matters in their minds.
"It was a taste of postseason," Henrickson said. "But ultimately not the taste we're looking for."
"Everybody knows what it takes," sophomore guard Chakeitha Weldon said. "So we're doing everything we can to be successful."
Players said they have already noticed a difference in the team's attitude this summer as individual workouts and pickup games progress.
"At workouts, when we have one person lead, everyone listens," said junior guard Danielle McCray, the team's leading scorer and rebounder. "Just communicating well. When we work out, everyone's been clapping each other on. Last year, we were kind of there, but it wasn't always consistent."
Ah, yes. Consistency. A word tossed around a lot in regards to last year's Jayhawks. Or more accurately, a lack of consistency.
"You look at our record and we're a better basketball team than our record," Henrickson said. "We were close and didn't finish. We've got to be able to take care of games at home and find a way to win on a road. Were we tough at times? Were we disciplined at times? Yeah. But not consistently."
Last season, the Jayhawks began 11-2 in nonconference play but backpedaled when they reached Big 12 Conference play. The University ended its season with a 58-54 loss at Michigan State in the WNIT's second round to finish 17-16. It was the University's second winning season in Henrickson's four years with the Jayhawks. But it also meant that Kansas finished its final 20 games with a 6-14 record.
Henrickson said too many turnovers and few trips to the free throw line were key reasons the team struggled to pull ahead in close games. Of the Jayhawks' 16 losses, eight were by single digits.

Kansas has reason to be optimistic this season, though. The Jayhawks return with 12 players from last year's team. That means 10 of the team's top 11 scorers return, including the top three — McCray, junior guard Sade Morris and sophomore center Krysten Boogaard.

Adding to the mix this season will be two freshmen. Heralded prospect Angel Goodrich, a 5-foot-4 point guard from Oklahoma and Aishah Sutherland, a 6-2 forward from California, could both contribute immediately. Both have been on campus for parts of the summer and impressed teammates.
forward Porscha Weddington said. "They came in really in shape, and they've been doing well in all the workouts and in pickup."
"They're really good," junior
The Jayhawks have only been to the postseason twice since 2000, and both times they found themselves playing in the WNIT. Still, that hasn't deterred players from thinking NCAA Tournament this season. Many consider this year's nucleus of returning players and freshmen could be just the right mix to get over the hump.

"I feel we could have made it to the NCAA Tournament," Weldon said about last season. "This year we will make it. There's no doubt about it."

Top recruiting classes for next year's basketball teams
5. USC
Admittedly, the Trojans shouldn't be ranked this high. They grabbed super-prospect Demar DeRozan straight out of Compton but didn't get any other superstars. Coach Tim Floyd, however, did receive a commitment from Romeo Miller, better known as Lil' Romeo. If he can rap about basketball, he must be a decent player.
4. OHIO STATE
Seven-foot center Greg Oden led the Buckeyes to the national championship game two years ago. Coach Thad Motta hopes this year's 7-footer, B.J. Mullens, can provide similar results. Motta landed five other players including a pair of talented shooting guards, William Buford and Walter Offutt.
3. MEMPHIS
Although the Tigers' class might have catapulted to No. 1 if the Morris twins didn't break their verbal commitment, they still had a solid haul. Combo guard Tyreke Evans might be
the most talented player in this year's class. Coach John Calipari also grabbed forwards Wesley Witherspoon and Angel Garcia.
2. KANSAS
The Jayhawk class might lack star power but it's got depth. Guard Tyshawn
Taylor has blown away everyone who has watched him this summer in scrimmages. Marcus and Markieff Morris will add much-needed depth inside. Junior college transfers Mario Little and Tyrone Appleton should
JOHN ABU MUHAMMAD
Holiday
work into the rotation immediately. Travis Releford and Quintrell Thomas are the final two pieces of the class.
1. UCLA
It's not easy to receive commitments from five of Rivals. com's best 50 players in the nation, but Bruin coach Ben Howland did it. Headlining the star-studded class are point guard stud Jrue Holiday and big man J'Mison Morgan. The Bruins have traveled to three straight Final Fours without a title. Perhaps
this will be the class to push them over the edge.

Rodriguez's decision to join William Morris comes at a time when he is now a staple of celebrity gossip. His wife has filed for divorce and his relationship with Madonna has generated blaring tabloid headlines and daily fodder for talk-show radio.
The 32-year-old third baseman has 538 home runs and is on pace to pass Barry Bonds. He is drawing a major league-high $27 million salary this year and last December signed a record $275 million, 10-year contract with New York.
