Minor change in city code hits house parties hard City adds extra shot of liability to curb underage drinking. BY DYLAN SANDS
BY DYLAN SANDS
dsands@kansan.com
Students planning to host parties may want to channel their inner bouncers. The City Commission passed a new ordinance June 23 that will make it easier to fine party-throwers who serve alcohol to minors.
The new ordinance is an amendment to the city's existing policy on fining people who allow minors to consume alcohol on their property. Before the change, people hosting a party could avoid fines by claiming that a minor caught drinking at their home was not invited. The new ordinance states that any person attending a party is automatically assumed to be an invited guest of the host or property owner.
Mayor Robert Chestnut said the change was made to the city code to "make it have more teeth in it."
"It sounds like a small nuance, but it certainly will hold the property owner to a higher accountability," Chestnut said.

1. China delays internet filters on home computers
BEIJING — China postponed a plan to require personal computer makers to supply Internet-filtering software Tuesday, retreating in the face of protests by Washington and Web surfers hours before it was due to take effect.
Manufacturers would have been required to include filtering software known as Green Dam with every computer produced for sale in China starting Wednesday.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said the plan would be delayed in part because manufacturers had trouble meeting the deadline. It gave no indication whether it might be revived later.
Top U.S. trade officials had protested the plan .
2. Men with fertility issues need to have more sex
LONDON — For men with fertility problems, some doctors are prescribing a very conventional way to have a baby: more sex.
In a study of 118 Australian men with damaged sperm, doctors found that having sex every day for a week significantly reduced the amount of DNA damage in their patients' sperm. Previous studies have linked better sperm quality to higher pregnancy rates.
NATIONAL
The research was announced Tuesday at a meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Amsterdam.
Dr. David Greening said the study's findings were ultimately very intuitive."If you want to have a baby, our advice is to do it often."
3. Jetliner crashes in Indian Ocean on way to Comoros
MORONI, Comoros — A Yemeni jetliner carrying 153 people crashed into the Indian Ocean as it came in for a landing during howling winds on the island nation of Comoros. There were conflicting reports about whether a child survived.
Von Brunn faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of museum guard Stephen T. Johns. Von Brunn was shot in the face by other guards and remains at Greater Southeast Community Hospital.
The crash came two years after aviation officials reported faults with the plane, an Airbus 310 flying the last leg of a journey from Paris and Marseille to Comoros, with a stop in Yemen to change planes. Most of the passengers were from Comoros, a former French colony. Sixty-six on board were French nationals.
Magistrate John Faciola scheduled another hearing on von Brunn's health for July 10.
In France, school vacations began this week and many on the plane were heading home to visit.
4. Accused shooter's health keeps him from the court
WASHINGTON — Prosecutors say a white supremacist accused of fatally shooting a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is in no condition to come to court.
Prosecutor Nicole Waid said at a hearing Tuesday that a D.C. Department of Corrections doctor told her that 88-year-old James von Brunn would not be able to come to court this week or next.
5. California to issue IOUs if budget remains unsettled
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A midnight deadline loomed Tuesday as California lawmakers and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger dueled over ways to cut into a $24.3 billion budget deficit or face having to issue IOUs to cover the state's bills.
Voting almost totally along party lines, the state Senate approved a package of bills including spending cuts and fee and tax increases.
Democrats lawmakers,the majority in both houses,tried two approaches Monday but both failed to draw Republican support.
But the Republican governor quickly promised to veto the legislation, saying he wouldn't sign anything that raised taxes or fees more than he has proposed.
6. Nyquil and Tylenol may be removed from market
ADELPHI, Md. — Government experts are scheduled to vote on whether Nyquil and other combination cold medications should be pulled from the market to help curb deadly overdoses.
Democrats want to solve the deficit by cutting spending by $11 billion.
The Food and Drug Administration has assembled more than 35 experts for a two-day meeting to discuss and vote on ways to prevent overdose with acetaminophen — the pain-relieving, fever-reducing ingredient in Tylenol and dozens of other prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Despite educational campaigns and other federal actions, acetaminophen remains the leading cause of liver failure in the U.S., sending 56,000 people to emergency rooms annually, according to the FDA.

Maxed out students
BY JUSTIN HILLEY jhilley@kansan.com
A 2009 report by Sallie Mae, the nation's leading provider of student loans, revealed undergraduates are carrying record-high credit card balances. The average amount of debt carried by undergraduate student cardholders has increased by 46 percent since 2004, reaching $3,173.
Here's a look at how some students have dealt with acquiring and managing credit card debt.
ACQUIRING CREDIT CARDS
Alex Bowman obtained his first credit card in high school after his $500 car loan application was denied for not being high enough. Bowman, Medicine Lodge junior, wanted to buy a car that his friend's father was selling for $500, but the bank only gave vehicle loans that were at least $2,000.
Once he got a credit card to pay for the car, Bowman said, he quickly hit his $1,000 limit because of accrued interest and late fees. Although he now only has $600 of credit card debt — far below the national average for college students — he said if he could do it all over again, he would wait to get a credit card until he was financially secure.
"If you don't make enough money to pay bills on time every month,
and you have to worry about other living expenses, a credit card is not an easy way out," Bowman said. "It is an easy way to dig yourself a bigger hole."
Jennifer Cook, branch manager for Commerce Bank in the Kansas Union. said students should only use credit cards for overdraft protection. Cook said half of University students she worked with were generally financially responsible, and the other half were not.
"It really boggles my mind coming out of high school that they have not even been shown a checking account, how to keep a checking account, or how to write a check," Cook said.
Chris Buckland, Topeka graduate student, said he accumulated about $3,000 in credit card debt while he was an undergraduate student. He said he got his first credit card in case of emergencies, but still maxed out its $500 limit, so he ordered another card. Buckland said he racked up a majority of his debt when he studied in Germany last year. He now has

three credit cards.
"I don't like using my card," Buckland said. "My first two credit cards, I just have a balance on them, I don't use them anymore. I just pay off the balances."
SPENDING HABITS
Danya Goodman, Bedford, Mass., graduate student, has two credit cards: One card gives her 1 percent cash back on purchases and 3 percent cash back on gas, and the other card is used as an emergency in case something happens to the main one.
Goodman said that she used her credit card almost all the time when purchasing items because she gets money back, but that she only used it if she knew she had enough money.
Shortly after receiving her undergraduate degree, Goodman's car needed repair, but she could not afford to immediately pay it off. She applied for a credit card that had a 0 percent interest rate and used it to pay for the repairs, paying the balance off over the next two months.
"You can take advantage of the credit cards if you understand how they work." Goodman said.
The study conducted by Sallie Mae found that 60 percent of undergraduates had been surprised at how high their credit card balance had reached, and 40 percent said they had charged items knowing they did not have the money to pay the bill. The study also found that only 17 percent of undergraduates said they regularly paid off all cards each month.
Paige Hendrick, Leawood senior, said she would go out to dinner with her friends and instead of splitting the bill, she would put the entire bill on her card and have her friends pay her in cash. Then she would go out to bars and spend the cash instead of using the credit card, which her parents would see online.
"I would never give my parents the cash. My parents just finally were fed up and said, 'We're not doing it anymore' and they cut it completely up,' Hendrick said.
Hendrick said that the $1,000 credit card she had was maxed out and that she wanted another one for
emergencies, but did not trust her self not to abuse it.
Hendrick's past experience with credit cards gave her an opportunity to offer advice and to warn students who were still accumulating debt.
"Iimmediately stop using your credit card until you can pay them off," Hendrick said. "Pay as much as you can and try to get that debt off as quickly as possible."
PAYMENT HABITS
Cook said she could help University students cancel their cards or set up a payment plan at Commerce Bank if they were unable to make payments on time.
"A lot of kids want to hide from the problem, and that's not what you should do." Cook said. "You're in college now. You need to confront the problem, get it taken care of and resolve it."
William Lewis, professor of personal finance, said credit card companies could be forgiving when it came to late fees and annual percentage rates.
"If you've been a customer of a credit card company and you don't overdraw and you usually pay on time, they'll waive those things periodically," Lewis said. "I think people ought to call or to ask — 'Hey listen times are tight, things are going down. I'd like to get this APR lowered.'"
Goodman said she paid off all of her credit card debt each month and felt "lucky" to have always had a job that allowed her to pay for things and parents who had helped her out when she could not afford something.
Bowman said some students did not realize that whatever balance remained at the end of the month would be added to the principal and charged interest every month until it was paid off. He said he paid the minimum because it was all he could afford.
Bowman had one suggestion for students who have massive credit card debt: "Don't buy shit you don't need."

LAWRENCE
Facility offers free recycled products
BY ANNIE VANGSNES avangsnes@kansan.com
In one quick trip, students and Lawrence residents can take advantage of free paint and other household cleaning supplies while also disposing of hazardous waste.
The City of Lawrence/Douglas County Household Hazardous Waste Facility, 711 E. 23rd St., accepts products that are considered dangerous to the environment. It also offers a service that allows people to take usable leftover supplies and paint for free.
Before dropping off waste or "shopping," residents must make an appointment. When people drop off usable products such as paint, cleaning supplies, or motor oil, it is stocked on the shelves in a separate building.
Operations Supervisor Kathy Richardson said it was a popular program for Lawrence residents who either couldn't afford supplies or were "believers of reduce, reuse, recycle."
Roy Wimmer, Lawrence resident, is a computer-aided design technician who has been unemployed for almost a year. He said he went to the facility looking for paint for the south side of his house after a power washer stripped the paint off. He had looked at paint elsewhere but said it cost $40 for 15 gallons. Wimmer needed about 45 gallons, and said that it would have been too expensive.
Wimmer said he had known about the reuse program for several years, but that this was the first time he had used it. He said he used to think he should let other people use it who needed it more than him.
"I'm an old farm boy from central Kansas," Wimmer said. "My dad always told me that it's better to give than receive. Well now I'm receiving, but I'd rather be giving."
Wimmer found his 45 gallons of

Student makes an income from playing the bagpipes
BY STEPH SCHNEIDER
sschneider@kansan.com
With bagpipe in tow and kilt swinging around his knees, Chris Hannemann goes to work. He has played the bagpipe since his freshman year of college, and playing at public events is his main source of summer income.
Hannemann, Wichita junior, said his interest in learning to play bagpipes was sparked because he grew up next to a neighbor who would play the bagpipes with windows open.
"I would just sit in my house and listen to him play from across the yard in his house," Hannemann said. "And I could, because the pipes are so loud."
After deciding he wanted to
learn, Hannemann said, the perfect opportunity came along when his friend started a bagpipe band. He began taking lessons from William McCollum, a professional bagpipe player from Wichita.
McCollum said Hannemann told him he was already a musician, and that playing the jazz guitar was his first love.
"I told him he would probably give up the guitar," McCollum said. "When you start doing bagpipes it gets into your blood."
After working with Hannemann for about a year, McCollum said, he asked him how his jazz guitar playing was going. Hannemann said he had not picked up the guitar in months.
"Nine months later I was in a bagpipe marching band," Hannemann
said. "The hardest part is the road to getting there, it takes a lot of practice. It's like you have four little brains doing four different things at once."
McColllum said the more musicians get to know the bagpipes, the better players and entertainers they become.
"Chris has the ability to be entertaining and a great musician," McCollum said. "He is a dynamic man who looks to go far."
Hannemann said he had learned from McCollum that he could make a good amount of money playing if he was good enough at it.
"He is a professional bagpiper and makes ridiculous money doing it," Hannemann said. "No one does it — how many people do you know who play the bagpipe?"

To advertise his business, Hannemann is on Craigslist, and gets hired most often at funerals and weddings.
"I advertise because a lot of people don't even know it's there and available to them," Hannenn said.
Josh Connor, Lawrence resident ran into Hannemann in February when they were both advertising their instruments at the Lawrence Arts Center.
"Chris called me about my drum lessons, told me about his bagpiping, and we started playing and listening
to Zeppelin together," Connor said.
On St. Patrick's Day, Connor saw Hannemann playing near The Replay on Massachusetts Street and told him he would love to play his drums with him sometime. The first time the two practiced together a
neighbor called the police on them, Connor said.
"I looked back, and there was an officer standing there," Connor said. "He said, 'Well boys, you sound good, but we do have noise complaints."
Hannemann said he has played at about 10 events in the last year, and his most memorable was a military funeral.
"I was playing and everyone, even tough generals, started crying," Hannemann said. "It's a really powerful instrument."
Although Hannemann said that business was sometimes hard to come by, and that it was a spur of the moment kind of thing, he said he loved doing it.
"I will have two gigs in a month, then none for another four months." Hannemann said. "It always comes in waves."
Hannemann said that his audience ranged from 6-year-olds to 60-year-olds, and that his outfit caught many eyes.
Seeing how people react to his outfit is a highlight to Hannemann's job, he said. However, the technical side of his job is not.

"I get asked from women more than any other question 'Are you wearing underwear under there.' Hannemann said. "I say, 'You wear skirts with underwear; I wear a kilt with underwear.'"

CAMPUS
Campus police utilize Segways for patrols
BY DYLAN SANDS
dsands@kansan.com
The KU Public Safety Office has been rolling steadily along on Segway scooters for nearly a year in an effort to improve its visibility and make students feel safer.
Captain Schuyler Bailey said the scooters had been a hit among officers on campus.
"They love them," he said. "They're something different; we're utilizing new technology and it's a great conversation starter."
Bailey said the three Segways cost $6,000 each and were funded by the Campus Safety Advisory Board last year. He said the office was still compiling data to see what cost benefit the Segways had created.
"We are definitely using less gas, but we're paying more for it," Bailey said. "We need some more long-term data."
May Davis, student body vice president, said the environment played a major role in the CSAB's decision to
push for the Segways.
"With Segways, not only are they quicker but they're more sustainable," Davis said.
Matt Troffholz, Chicago senior, said he was confused when he first saw officers riding Segways on campus.
"I thought it was weird," he said. "I don't know how they think they'll be able to catch criminals on those things."
Bailey said that the Segways required training from the manufacturer before they could be ridden, but that certain officers "excelled" at riding the scooters and had begun training other officers.
Assistant Chief Chris Keary said the Segways took some getting used to.
"They are not something you can just jump on and ride," Keary said. "You have to get used to shifting your weight on your toes and heels to make the Segway go and stop."
Although reducing the office's emissions was a motive for using the Segways on patrol, both Bailey and
Keary said the greatest benefit of the scooters was the flexibility in interacting with people on campus.
"Officers on Segways are easy to spot and are waved down by people on campus who want to talk about the Segway or who need some other assistance," Keary said.
He added that some people who flagged down the Segways had ulterior motives.
"The officers have received many positive comments about the Segways and many requests to ride them — sorry, that is not allowed." Keary said.
Keary admitted that the hilly campus proved challenging at times while riding the Segways.
"I have never fallen from a Segway. We have had a few officers who have," he said. "Like when riding anything with wheels, you need to keep an eye out for bumps or other problems in the path ahead of you and avoid them or prepare to ride over them."

WASTE (CONTINUED FROM 5)
paint for his house and disposed of his old car fluids in the same trip.
Tammy Parris, waste reduction and recycling specialist, said she had seen more people using the program since the recession.
Parris said she hadn't seen many students use the program and thought one reason was because many landlords won't let renters paint. She said another reason could be that renters didn't usually do the repairs on their houses.
Parris said she would like to see more students donate when moving out of houses or apartments.
"But they might not know about donating cleaning supplies and they don't accumulate as much in only four or five years here."
Richardson said the reuse program was a good way for citizens and the city to save money and recycle. She said the city saved because it had less waste to dispose of through its contractor.
"It's win-win for everybody," Richardson said. "We don't have leftovers to take care of"

Jackson's mother wants control of estate
Katherine Jackson wants to protect his legacy and his children
BY NEKESA MUMBI MOODY
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson's mother, having won temporary guardianship of her late son's three children, is now attempting to take control of the King of Pop's estate, according to a person close to the court proceedings.
Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff granted Katherine Jackson temporary guardianship of the children on Monday. He also scheduled a hearing for Aug. 3 on Jackson's petition to become permanent guardian of her son's children.
The petition also seeks to name Jackson as administrator of the children's estates, but the judge did not grant that request.
Katherine Jackson filed another court action Monday, seeking to take control of her son's estate, according to a person close to the proceedings who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and requested anonymity. She is taking that action with the intent of protecting Jackson's legacy, the person said.
Jackson left behind three children: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince Michael, 12; Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11; and Prince Michael II, 7. The youngest son was born to a surrogate mother.
In the request to take over the children's estate, Jackson, 79, lists its value as "unknown."
The filing lists the children as living
at the Jackson's family compound in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.
"Minor children are currently residing with paternal grandmother," the filing states in an explanation of why Katherine Jackson should be appointed guardian. "They have a long established relationship with paternal grandmother and are comfortable in her care."
The filings provide no other declarations by Katherine Jackson, nor do they state whether Michael Jackson left a will.
The filings note that Deborah Rowe is the mother of Jackson's two eldest children, but list her whereabouts as "unknown." An e-mail message sent to Rowe's attorney seeking comment wasn't immediately returned Monday morning.
For Michael Jackson's third child, nicknamed as Blanket, the filing states "None" for the mother.

Movie: My Sister's Keeper
Music: Wilco (The Album)
Not straying far from what made fans love them, Wilco made "Wilco (The Album)" another great work that's worthy of picking up.
Superb musicianship, lyrics that hit you right at home and Jeff Tweedy's sweet-swaggering vocals make you
feel like Wilco should: good.
The combination of slow southern country and upbeat rock and roll gives this album the ability to make you feel two ways at once. Part of it makes you want to lie down while listening to the rain and the other
makes you want to throw a dance party in your living room.
Every time through this album gets better. No matter your feelings on Wilco just pick it up.

Movie: Transformers 2
In the highly anticipated "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," audiences were forced through two-and-a-half long hours of constant robotic alien violence, too many special effects and a crawl-paced plot. Michael Bay's sequel failed to challenge the first Transformers movie, leaving most fans to believe that Megan Fox was the only reason to attend. Fox and Shia LaBeouf displayed their continued relationship in the movie on the basis of the "L" word, which neither of them wanted to say first, making the audience beg
for a violent Autobot interruption.
However, Bay's personification of the alien robots developed a humorous tone throughout the film, which may have saved audiences' interest levels more than once. The sequel also gave a conclusion to the story, which was left open-ended in the first Transformers movie.
Despite harsh judgments from fans and critics, the movie has so far raked in $200 million at the box office.

Los Angeles Superintendent Ramon Cortines isn't amused by the GQ magazine photos shot at Birmingham High School that feature the "Borat" star in his new incarnation as gay Austrian fashionista "Bruno."
The GQ cover story features pictures of Baron Cohen wearing shoulder pads, tight red shorts, an athletic cup and little else as he poses with football players at the school in the San Fernando Valley.

COMMENTARY
Twitter shouldn't be used to draw viewers
Twitter users, bare with me.
It's not how you use Twitter
that bothers me — it's how
you're being used on Twitter.
I am not a Twitter user. I am plenty aware, though, of its uses and appeal from friends' descriptions, stories of Ashton Kutcher's tweet cult and lampoons on "The Soup". What doesn't appeal to me, though, is how news organizations are using tweets from Twitter users as a way for people to watch the news.
When the June 10, 2009 United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting happened, a news-savvy friend informed me that CNN was broadcasting tweets about the shooting at the bottom of the screen. One of the tweets read: "what is an 87-year-old doing with a rifle?!?"
If the Twitter user would have taken the time to actually read the
BY MATT HIRSCHFELD
Most likely, it's to get Twitter users more "connected" to the news. Thus, more people will watch the news to see if their tweets get airtime.
This theory, though, is a wash. According to an April 2009 Nielsen Web analysis, 60 percent of Twitter's U.S. users don't return a month later. And though there are
no official statistics from Twitter, Compete.com says Twitter has about 6 million users.
I would hate to think newsrooms are determining newsworthiness based on "Twitter-ness." If 60 percent of users are dropping Twitter like a bad habit, it is worth the risk of perturbing avid news watchers who are watching the news to see more than just their tweets on screen?
Instead of tweets, why can't local news updates scroll across the bottom of the screen? Or even the weather? Just some kind of useful information would be more stimulating than an opinion from a viewer.
There is a saving grace to this Twitter takeover, though. On the weekend of June 13 to 14, when Tehran exploded in protests after Iran's presidential election, another explosion occurred on Twitter.
According to a June 14 "New York Times" article, thousands of Twitter users criticized CNN's coverage of the event. For a time, Twitter users added new tweets criticizing CNN's coverage at a rate of one a second.
CNN has defended its coverage thus far, but bucked up and got the news ball rolling after that weekend.
Twitter users: You do serve a purpose. You can serve as a watchdog for media outlets, because even they can get lost in the news maelstrom that surrounds them every day.
But when it comes to commenting on how a white supremacist has killed a security guard, please don't tempt news networks with inane and false tweets. Just keep it to yourself.

LGBT community struggles for rights in Ireland
When I got the e-mail saying I was placed with Gay Community News for an internship, I was thrilled.
I researched the Dublin gay scene a small community that is, for the most part, widely accepted by the traditionally Catholic city.
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
The friend who took us to the bar later found out "the gays" were upset because "so many straight girls" were there that night.
When I walked in on my first day,
I probably should have guessed that
The first night I moved into our apartment, a friend of one of my roommates took us to a gay club. After an hour, I started to notice that a good number of the bar's patrons looked as if they didn't like us.
This "straight girl" stigma followed me to work.
my Midwestern charm screamed "I CAN TOLERATE YOU"
From what I've noticed, the majority of straight people here tolerate the LGBT community, but many have yet to accept that homosexuality doesn't challenge their own way of life.
When you leave the city, it gets worse. A friend was on a work trip to various small Irish towns. In one of
those towns, he told me a little boy walked up to him and asked him if he was "a fag".
"Yes,uh,I am,"he had replied.
He said the bill was not and would never be a step toward gay marriage. He said that the bill extended all the rights to the LGBT community that the Irish constitution would allow.
What followed, in the most technical way possible, was the boy asking my friend if he wanted to have anal sex with him. The boy then ran off laughing with his friends.
On June 26 Dermot Ahern, The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, published a civil partnership bill to show his commitment to equality, which was soon followed with a public statement to calm the straight people of Ireland.
He said they shouldn't ask for more.
As Ahern spoke over the radio, my coworkers could only stare at the floor, and then at each other.
One of them wanted to adopt a child with his long-time partner. Dream nixed.
Another hoped to extend medical insurance to her girlfriend. Denied.
And another just wanted to get married to the person she loved. Not happening.
A very real division exists here. Although I'm sure progress will be made, I really have no idea what the next step will be for the Irish LGBT community.

Chestnut said the change was spurred by low conviction rates for party hosts accused of providing alcohol to minors. He said city attorneys met with the Lawrence Police Department to create a solution.
He said police would continue their enforcement of party violations as they had in the past. In most cases in which an officer enters a party, it is because he was called to the scene for a noise complaint. The officer then checks attendees' IDs and can cite minors and party hosts accordingly.
Chestnut said police officers on routine patrols could inspect parties without receiving complaints first.
"If they have evidence that they see a party, they have probable cause and can enter," Chestnut said. "But for the most part, it will be complaint-based."

Pantaleon Florez, Topeka senior, said police officers broke up a party at his apartment complex in August of 2008. Florez he was cited because minors were in attendance.
"They gave me a ticket for the hosting of minors when people I didn't even know were there," Florez said.
Florez said he received no fine after going to court where he stated he was not aware of minors attending the party.
Florez said he had mixed feelings about the new ordinance because parties often get out of control and draw in several strangers.
"I got out of it completely," he said.
"I think it's kind of ridiculous that someone can get in trouble if people just show up to their party," Florez said. "If they're in your home, it may be because you invited them, but if the party is outside it's harder to control."
According to the ordinance, which can
ORDINANCE NO. 8397
Section 1.

I'll just stick with the original text. It seems to be a portrait of a young woman looking slightly off to the side, with her hand near her face. The background is black.
Opening weekend for the Kansas Summer Theatre's play, "The Spitfire Grill", left the intimate stage with no open seats, regardless of the adult subject matter and offensive language.
BY STEPH SCHNEIDER
sschneider@kansan.com
Logan Walker, 2009 graduate, played the part of Caleb Thorpe, the antagonist in the story. He said the adult subject matter warning covered all the possibly offensive aspects in the play.
The musical is set in rural Wisconsin, where Percy Talbot, a newly released prisoner, is trying to find a new life after serving time for manslaughter.
'Spitfire Grill'a musical with adult twist
THEATER
"There is adult content with Percy's storyline," Walker said. "But in general, the show is pretty friendly."
The play is set in 1938 in a small town called Gilead where Percy finds a job at Hannah Ferguson's Spitfire Grill. When Hannah becomes injured, Percy is left to take over the cooking and operation of the grill.
David Stogsdill, actor and 2009 graduate, played Sheriff Joe Sutter in the play. He said the adult content warning seemed excessive.
"Without her, the play would have lost realism," Stogsdill said. "The role is really hard for someone our age."
"It's all attitude," Stogsdill said. "I

have yet to hear of anyone who has complained."
"It hits a lot of emotion," Wilcox said.
In the end, the great thematic material outweighed the adult content and language, said David Wilcox, Manhattan senior who saw the play with a friend.
The crew practiced every day and Stogsdill said the practices, performances, and waiting around had created close bonds among the cast.
"The crew has the best camaraderie," Stogsdill said. "There has been a good development of relationships throughout the whole group."
Cast members said there was a mother figure in the cast as well. Jeanne Averill, who plays Hannah Ferguson, is a member of the Actors' Equity Association, a union of professional actors and stage managers in the U.S. Averill is not a student, but being in the union allowed her to audition for the role of the older woman, Hannah.

BY ADAM SCHOOF
aschoof@kansan.com
Brittan Young has daily visions of her fiancée wrecking his scooter. Her fiancée, Lawrence Henderson, doesn't have health insurance and doesn't wear a helmet when he rides. Young said she was afraid for Henderson's safety and for expensive medical bills should he get in an accident.
Young. Overland Park senior, said she was also scared for herself. She said that when she graduates in December, she will no longer be covered by her parents' health insurance and that she was worried she wouldn't be able to find a job that offered health insurance given the state of the economy.
Gaps in health insurance for graduates are common. According to a 2006 study by the Commonwealth Fund, which is a private research foundation, one-third of college graduates don't have health insurance after graduation. Thirteen percent are uninsured for six months or more.
Being uninsured can lead to dire financial circumstances.
"It takes one hospital stay to be overwhelmingly in debt," Cynthia Price, a publications writer at the Kansas Insurance Department, said.
Henderson, Lansing law student, said he wanted to weigh the risks for himself.
"It is truly a gamble both ways — paying for insurance you don't need or not having insurance you do need and you have to do a cost benefit analysis," Henderson said.
College graduates are at an age where they are at risk for expensive maladies. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity is rising among young adults. From 2005 to 2006 obesity in young adults grew to 24 percent. Obesity is associated with some types of cancer, diabetes and heart disease. The National Center for Health Statistics found in a 2007 study that injury-related emergency room visits were most common in young adults.
The Commonwealth Fund's Health Insurance Survey done in 2007 found two-thirds of young adults who did not have health insurance said they had skipped needed health care because they weren't covered.
Price said that recent graduates without health insurance could get temporary health insurance to cover the gap between graduation and when employer's insurance began.
"Consider what happens if you have a bad year," Price said, "and examine how much risk you can manage."
Price said most college graduates could find high deductible plans with low premiums, deductibles being the portion of a health charge not covered by the insurance and premiums being the charge, usually monthly, for the insurance itself.
The Alumni Association offers a short-term health insurance for graduates called GradMed. With GradMed, graduates pay a $500 or $1,000 deductible before GradMed pays anything. GradMed is not offered to pregnant women.
Henderson said he was comfortable with not having health insurance.
"There has been little risk to me up to now," Henderson said. "Had something horrible happened, I would have still received emergency medical treatment provided by a hospital, and if worst came to worst, I would have filed for bankruptcy to discharge the debt. I've always had a plan."
However, he said Young had been pressuring him to get health insurance. Henderson said one of his options was health insurance offered by the Kansas Board of Regents. At $917 a year, the insurance covers all health charges at student health centers, Diana Malott, assistant director of student health services, said.
The Regents service is only offered for current students, but if December graduates had purchased the insurance to last until May, then the insurance would cover past graduation.

Solidarity fights to keep its doors open
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
The Solidarity Revolutionary Center and Radical Library is on the verge of closing. The library, which stays open through donations, is having trouble coming up with money to pay the rent and bills for its space at 13 E.8th St.
The Solidarity Center is a library containing thousands of books on topics such as anarchism, environmentalism and different social movements. It is also a free community space available for hosting meetings or events, and discussing beliefs on social issues. A group of volunteers for Solidarity are trying to find other methods to solicit donations.
Shona Clarkson, volunteer coordinator, said that Solidarity used to function off of a generous donor base, but that donations had dropped off.
"We're not a space that makes profit, so every month is a scramble," Clarkson. St. Louis junior, said.
Clarkson said she felt a sense of community at Solidarity that she did not have anywhere else. She said Solidarity was an interesting space to her, because it was attempting to exist outside of the capitalist culture.
Sarah Madden, Solidarity's treasurer, hosted a workshop June 27 to help volunteers practice discussing Solidarity's services with people in the community who are unaware of Solidarity's services. Robert Vodicka, American Studies doctoral student, led an open dialogue about how to approach people about Solidarity, or anything else participants in the workshop might want to discuss with people in their community.
The workshop also discussed how groups could have effective conver-

"The purpose is to facilitate a dialogue infrastructure to help actions take place," Madden said.

Participants were invited to make donations at the workshop, but no one was turned away for lack of funds, Madden said.
Sarah Madden, Solidarity's treasurer, and part-time volunteer Jason Herring, Hutchinson senior, take notes during Robert Vodicka's presentation on non-profit fundraising techniques at Solidarity Saturday afternoon. Herring said the presentation was necessary to "solidify" Solidarity's goals, especially since the organization moved into a new, larger space, on 8th and Massachusetts streets.
"It's been really productive," Madden said. "Going through all the worrying and stress of learning how to organize together is a lot easier than trying to do it alone. It's great to learn from each other."
Vodicka helped lead the workshop by talking about his experiences organizing graduating college students who were trying to find work. He said he worked in campuses around the U.S. and at the University.
"I really support what they're doing," Vodicka said. "I'm impressed with people's knowledge and their willingness to speak and the ease with which they're doing it, it's working quickly."
Vodicka said he supported Solidarity because of its library, which he said was a great resource for alternative education. Vodicka said the Solidarity Center was also a good alternative venue for music, because it was not a bar and was comfortable for people of all ages.
Tim Hjersted, project director of Films For Action, a locally based organization that shows political films, said the workshop helped to build everyone's "foundation of knowledge" of networking.
Jason Hering, Hutchinson senior, is a part-time volunteer at Solidarity.
Hering said he thought people who disliked or disapproved of Solidarity were people who did not know
what the volunteers at the library were trying to accomplish.
"Many people have never visited the library," Hering said. "Also a lot of people don't understand what anarchists think."
Hjersted said a
"We're not a space that makes profit, so every month is a scramble."
lot of people had misconceptions about anarchists as "punk-rockers" who were all about destruction. He said the local media had shown him that Solidarity made contributions to the community, such as the community garden, 1230 New York St. Solidarity also hosts Robin Hood Food Distribution, where free food is made available to the community about once a week.

Hering said he thought Solidarity was important to students because it was a place people could learn something they would not learn about in a formal university setting. He said the library provided resources students would not be able to find elsewhere.
"I really believe in the mission of Solidarity," Hjersted said. "It's about building up the community instead of tearing it down."
Madden said Solidarity helped facilitate personal growth by challenging social norms. She said that students

at the University were able to learn about exploitation, hierarchies, and other social issues, but that they had no outlet to do anything about it. Solidarity provides a space to talk about action with other people who also want to do something, Madden said.
"What happens when that space isn't there anymore? Do we just sit there and take it?" Madden said. "I'm not okay with that."

Simien finds new path in youth outreach

BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
Four years ago, Wayne Simien was on his way to Miami to start a new chapter in his life as an NBA player. Now he's starting a new one, this time as a minister.
During his time playing Kansas basketball, Wayne Simien was considered by many to be one of the best players to grace the floor of Allen Fieldhouse. The former McDonald's High School All-American was the only Jayhawk of his class in 2005 to be drafted into the NBA and the only Jayhawk to be a first team All-American under Kansas Coach Bill Self's tenure.
Simien said the past four years had been a journey, as now he's focusing on his sports ministry Called to Greatness. Here's a look at the road that led this basketball great to where he is now.
COMING INTO HIS OWN
July 12, 2003 is an important date in Simien's life. It is the day he became a Christian. He said that before that time, he only lived for two things: himself and basketball.
Even with the status of being a big man on campus and having access to anything he wanted, he said he felt as though he was searching for more.
"At that time it was what can you do for me and what I can do to excel my career as a basketball player and being the big man on campus." Simien said.
After that day in 2003, Simien
Christian Moody, a former teammate who played for Kansas from 2002 to 2006, said he remembered guarding Simien at practices during his freshman and sophomore years at Kansas.
said, he was a completely different individual, changing his attitude about life on and off the court.
On the court, Simien took his job seriously.
"He was the best big man on the floor," Moody said. "He never took it easy on people."
Simien said he saw being a hard worker on the court as an opportunity to better the team and himself as a player.
"I felt like if I took a day off then I felt I was cheating number one, the team, and then myself". Simien said.
Off the court, Moody said, Simien was generous to every person he met.
"A fan would come up and he would take time out to sign autographs, ask them how they're doing." Moody said. "He was a great leader on and off the court."
Self, who coached Simien during his junior and senior years, described Simien as a "deep thinker." When Self came to the University as head coach in 2003, he said, Simien wanted to evaluate the situation as opposed to automatically supporting Self.
"That's how I'm wired," Simien said. "I didn't see the good right away."
Self said he recalled the first team meeting as head coach.
"All the other players were asking
me stuff like what shoes are we going to wear and what color are our uniforms," Self said. "I remember Wayne asking 'What did you tell the Illinois players when you left?'
From then on, Self said, Simien embraced him as his coach.
When the 2005 season ended in the first round of the NCAA tournament with Kansas losing to an unknown Bucknell University, Self said he felt terrible for Simien and the three other seniors. But to Simien, the loss didn't have that big of an effect on him.
"Wayne is a spiritual guy" Self said.
"He took it in stride as a positive."
This optimistic attitude would pay out later in Simien's life.

SIMIEN (CONTINUED FROM 22)
LIFE IN THE NBA
h
MANSAN
Soon after his senior season came to an end, Simien had to prepare for the next level: the NBA. On draft night, instead of being in New York, Simien chose to await his fate back home in Leavenworth with his closest family and friends along with Self and the other coaches.
going uni Wayne Illinois
Simien was selected as the 29th pick overall by the Miami Heat in the first round. Simien said he remembered hearing his name called by Commissioner David Stern on TV and getting so excited that he didn't hear what team he was going to.
Simien was drafted to the Miami Heat to play with Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade — players Simien said he looked up to.
He joined the Heat in the 2005- 2006 season, averaging 9.6 minutes and 3.4 points a game. The Heat would go on to win the NBA Championship that year. Simien described his rookie season as "amazing."

"Going into a locker room with guys who had been playing a lot longer like Alonzo, who had been playing for 10 years, and Gary, it was an incredible feeling," Simien said.
Two years into his faith, Simien knew he could be tested by the lifestyle of a professional athlete, but he wasn't worried about it. He said he relied on one thing: surrounding himself with strong men of God.
When the Heat would travel on the road, Simien said, he would have close friends meet him at his hotel so he wouldn't be tempted to take part in a lifestyle that conflicted with his faith. He also sometimes stayed at former NBA player A.C. Green's house, someone whose faith was also important to him.
If said. ve." Id pay
While playing in the NBA, Simien knew what kind of money he would make.
"I had a mindset that every penny that I earned, whether it was in the NBA or not, wasn't mine," Simien said. "I didn't do the typical rookie thing."
Simien said he donated money to charity and to his church. His biggest purchase was his Ford F-150 pickup truck.
"I didn't have any elaborate lifestyle," Simien said. "I know that God is my provider whether it's in the NBA, being a minister or working at McDonald's."
Simien said his basketball camp ministry started in 2008 as a way to carry the torch for camps that were once hosted by former player Danny Manning. Simien himself used to go to those camps as a kid and worked them when he was in high school and college.
A part of the camp experience is Simien's daily message to the kids about God.
In 2008, he started his ministry organization Called To Greatness, which worked to reach kids through basketball.
"It's awesome because you can tell how much he loves God by the way he loves people and treats people," Sperry said.
"He's very eloquent," Sperry said. "He puts it in words that kids can understand."
Zach Sperry, Arlington Texas junior, got involved in Simien's camp through interning at Morning Star Church. Sperry said that his job was mainly helping with drills and refereeing 3-on-3 games. Sperry said Simien was a genuine person.
Coming into his second year in the NBA, Simien only played in eight games. The rest of his season was plagued with knee injuries and a bout with salmonella. "He couldn't catch a break," Self said. "His body never really gave him a chance."
Simien started his ministry at Morning Star Church, 998 N 1771 Rd., north of 6th and Wakarusa streets.
Sperry said he learned from Simien that there's more to life than just sports. As a former Kansas baseball pitcher, Sperry said, he appreciated this insight.
Simien said it was disappointing not being able to play, but his faith and positive attitude helped him get through. Self agreed.
Because of the way he handled his money, Simien said, it was easier for him to walk away from the game.
"If he was frustrated, you wouldn't know it," Self said. "He never said 'Why me?' He used it as a test and I think it made him a stronger person."
The Called To Greatness camps are open to students from 3rd to 12th grade. Simien said there had been talk of branching the camps out to other sports such as soccer, baseball and dance.
LIFE AFTER THE NBA
Simien said that when he first decided to become a minister, he got some mixed responses.
After his second NBA season, Simien went through changes on and off the court. Off the court, Simien started a family in 2006 when he married his wife, Katie, and by 2008 had two kids. On the court, Simien bounced back from injury to play professionally in Spain for the team Caceres Ciudad de Baloncesto. But one thing Simien had always enjoyed the most was speaking to the youth.
"People were either real excited or asking 'What the heck are you doing? You could still be playing.' Simien said.
"To me," Simien said, "it was more of a desire to change the lives of people through Jesus Christ than playing basketball for a paycheck."
It's been a long journey for the Leavenworth native, from winning an NBA championship to full-time ministry, but Simien said it was the right focus for him.

KU pitcher makes national team despite alternative tryout
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
So what?
So T.J. Walz was a late invite to an already loaded tryout roster. So a Jayhawk had never made the American national team. So the odds were stacked against him.
Walz, sophomore pitcher, was invited to tryout as an alternate, pitching in one scrimmage just a day before the team cut 20 players. He impressed coaches enough with his performance during his one chance that they offered him a spot on the final 22-man roster.
"A couple of people weren't able to make it, so coach Price called me and said, "Hey, you're going to tryout on the 23rd," Walz said. "I knew I had to show them something if I was only going to get one outing, so I just wanted to give it my best shot and leave it all out there."
He did just that, going four innings and allowing just one run on two hits with seven strikeouts. Despite pitching well, he knew that as a late invite he had only a slim chance of making the team.
"I definitely knew it was a long shot. They told me up front that they had
a really deep pitching staff, but they'd like to add a little more to it," Walz said. "When they called I couldn't believe it. I wasn't expecting it, whether I did throw well or not. They just said, you know, 'We want to make sure you know what you're getting into. You have to represent your school, represent your country.' Then they said 'Congratulations' — that was pretty much it."
Walz, who led the Jayhawks in strikeouts in 2009, hasn't let off the throttle this summer. After his performance in the trials, Walz made a relief appearance in Team USA's second game of the summer slate, a 14-5 victory against Canada.
"I don't think you notice it in the game." Walz said about facing international competition rather than other colleges. "No matter what, a hitter's a hitter."
Walz' performance came under the direction of Jack McKeon, who won the 2003 World Series as the manager of the Florida Marlins. McKeon was filling in for Team USA's regular coach, Rick Jones of Tulane.

"That was incredible. I've never seen someone with that much baseball knowledge," Walz said of McKeon. "I mean, you could sit around and talk baseball with him all day. Just to have someone with that much experience in the dugout with you is something else. You know, when he says good job it's like, 'Whoa, I must have done really good.'"
The American national team will travel to Japan and Canada over the course of the summer, including a trip to the World Baseball Challenge in British Columbia, Canada, where it will face competition from Japan, Taiwan, China, Germany and Canada. Walz will try to help the team continue a 28-game unbeaten streak dating back to the summer of 2007. He said it was an honor to be part of that tradition.
"It's like — you can't describe it," Walz said. "Just being invited was an honor, and then it's like all your hard work has paid off. You've got to go out and represent, not just on the field, but off it as well."
Kansas was one of few schools to have multiple players invited to the tryouts. Walz said it could only mean good things for the University as it moved forward.
"I think it says something about our program that we have the quality guys to go out there and compete at the national level," Walz said. "It's definitely exciting for next year."

COMMENTARY
Kansas football to shine with committed recruits
Two summers ago, Yahoo! acquired Rivals.com for an estimated sum of $100 million.
You can't tell me fans don't want their recruiting dirt.
National Signing Day becomes more of a circus each year and the months leading up to it are tracked by college football fans like rabid beasts.
And now with the inclusion of Lane Kiffin in Tennessee, his fog machines and fake press conferences and recent news of a 13-year-old committing to the Volunteers, there's enough theater to keep everyone glued to message boards and recruiting sites.
That considered, let's have a look at who the Jayhawks are lining up for their 2010 class. Last week Kansas moved one step closer to addressing one of its biggest questions of this season when junior college transfer linebacker Vernon Brooks gave coach Mark Mangino a verbal commitment during a campus visit.
Eligible to play immediately, Brooks, from Blinn College in Brenham, Texas, only recently found out he was eligible to play Division I football. The 6-foot, 230-pound Brooks was clocked running a 4.6 40-yard-dash, and had also received offers from Oklahoma, Tennessee, Auburn, Tulsa and UAB. He stands a good chance of contributing early in Mangino's 4-2-5 base defense this year.

Set to graduate this December, Walker, 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, is a Rivals.com three-star recruit and, before his June 6 verbal commitment, also fielded offers from Kansas State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Syracuse, Houston and Iowa State.
Ricki Herod, Jr., Wide Receiver, Mesquite, Texas, North Mesquite High School: Herod, 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, promptly committed to Kansas in April when it was the first college to offer him a scholarship. Kansas first commit, Herod was named to the U.S. Army National Combine team in January and won an MVP award at the Nike Camp in Fort Worth, Texas in April.

MANHATTAN — Kansas State University is re-evaluating a planned $70 million upgrade of athletic facilities, in part because of undocumented payments to football coach Bill Snyder and two former administrators, new athletic director John

"Currently, those projects are on hold," Currie said. "There are some of those projects we'll re-evaluate, and we're in the process of doing
The re-evaluation comes after a scathing audit released June 19 that detailed questionable financial practices at the university, including 13 undocumented payments totaling $845,000 to Snyder, Krause and former athletic director Tim Weiser.
Currie said.
The controversy prompted the Kansas Board of Regents to require
state universities to conduct regular audits that include their athletic departments.
Currie said the project may eventually rely more on fundraising because he is cautious about using debt financing for projects that don't provide extra revenue.

Williams sisters may face off in final match
BY STEPHEN WILSON Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England — Venus and Serena Williams are one round away from meeting in another Wimbledon final.
It's the first time since 2006 that all four top-seeded women reached the semifinals at a Grand Slam tournament.
The Williams sisters overwhelmed their opponents Tuesday with breathtaking displays of power tennis, showing why they have dominated on the grass of the All England Club for most of the past decade.
"Do I feel invincible?" Williams said. "I'd like to say yes, but I really do work at it."
"We definitely upped our levels of game today." Serena said.
Venus, seeking her third straight Wimbledon title, outhit the 14th-ranked Pole from all parts of the court and proved again that she is the dominant female player on grass.
Williams had her left leg taped up again but showed no weakness at all as she ripped 29 winners.
"I can't complain," Williams said. "I'm in the semifinals of Wimbledon, right where I want to be. I just need to take another step forward."
Asked whether she also felt unbeatable at Wimbledon, Serena said: "I don't feel invincible, but I definitely should have the same attitude. I'm going to try to feel that way, too."
Only once in the last nine years has there been a Wimbledon women's final that didn't feature at least one of the Williams sisters. The sisters were the only two Grand Slam winners in the women's quarterfinals — Serena has 10 major titles and Venus seven.
The sisters have met in three Wimbledon finals, including last year. Serena has won two of the three, in 2002 and '03. They are 10-10 in career meetings.
"I would love it to be a Williams final, and so would she," Venus said. "That would be great."

Vick offers revised bankruptcy plan
The new plan allows creditors a greater portion of his money
BY LARRY O'DELL Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va. — Michael Vick's revised bankruptcy plan would funnel more of his future pay to his creditors and ensure that they receive a portion of his earnings even if the suspended NFL star doesn't return to the league.
Vick's attorney Paul Campsen outlined the highlights of the new plan, which was still being drafted, at a status hearing Tuesday. Campsen assured U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank J. Santoro that he will have no trouble filing the document by Thursday's deadline.
Santoro in April rejected Vick's first Chapter 11 plan, saying it was not feasible. Among his concerns was that the plan depended heavily on Vick returning to the NFL and that Vick was trying to hang on to too many assets. His first bankruptcy plan would have allowed him to keep the first $750,000 of his annual salary, and Vick also intended to keep two houses and several cars.
Under the new plan, 10 percent of the first $750,000 Vick earns would go to creditors, and he's agreed to
liquidate a house under construction in Virginia. If Vick doesn't return to the NFL, the new plan would give creditors a portion of whatever he earns from a lower paying job.
His prospects for playing again in the NFL rest with league commissioner Roger Goodell, who has said he will review the matter after Vick completes his 23-month federal sentence for operating a dogfighting ring.
Vick, who is serving the last two months of his sentence on home confinement in Hampton, is scheduled to be released from federal custody July 20.
He did not attend the hearing, which came a day after he began a new job with the Boys and Girls Clubs. He had been earning $10 an hour in a construction job since leaving the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., in May.
Steven S. Kast, chief executive officer of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula, said Vick will work with children in health and fitness programs for a few weeks.
"We were disappointed by some of his recent actions and decisions, but believe he has learned from these experiences, and is now conscious of his obligations and responsibilities as a prominent sports figure that impacts and influences our kids." Kast said in a written statement.
Vick's legal troubles wrecked his
finances as well as his reputation. Once the NFL's highest-paid player, Vick filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2008, listing assets of $16 million and liabilities of $20.4 million.
Under the bankruptcy plan,

Time at the meter could expire sooner than you think
City commission may want more change for parking downtown.
BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com
Parking downtown could become more expensive if the city commission approves city staff's recommendation next Tuesday to increase meter prices, fines and enforcement hours.
Proposed changes include increasing meter enforcement to end at 6 p.m. instead of 5 p.m., increasing parking tickets to $3 with a $12 late fee and increasing the cost to park.
City staff also recommended that 20 new 15-minute meters be added at the middle and north end of each block along downtown Massachusetts Street. Time limits for meters located along Massachusetts Street would decrease from two hours before and a half hours.

MOSCOW — President Barack Obama said he didn't think any war "is imminent" with North Korea.
Speaking in a network interview while meeting with Russian leaders Obama was asked how precarious was the security situation in the wake of North Korea's nuclear tests and new sanctions as a result of them. In the CBS interview, he said, "I don't think that any war is imminent with North Korea." He also said, "I think they understand that they would be overwhelmed in a serious military conflict with the United States."

RESEARCH
New policy makes scholarly articles free for everyone
BY KRISTEN LISZEWSKI
kliszewski@kansan.com
The University has become the first public university in the U.S. to adopt an "open access" policy that allows professors' scholarly journal articles to be available for free online.
The approved policy joins the University with Stanford, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which also have open access policies.
Open access at the University was proposed by a group of faculty members led by Andrew Peterson, evolutionary biologist and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, who wanted his students to have access to primary research literature. He said that before open access, students could access research articles only on the University campus network because the libraries were paying for subscriptions to scholarly journals.
'A lot of academics around the world are getting frustrated and worried about how commercial scientific
research publication has become," Peterson said. "That is, if you want to access a publication in a scientific journal, chances are that you, or your university, will have to pony up a nice fat payment to get that access."
SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, helped to coordinate a petition across the U.S., calling on universities and researchers to support open access policies such as the one the University adopted. In the association's petition statement, it said that students relied on access to academic journals for education and research, but that many colleges struggled with the high costs of subscriptions.
Rebecca Smith, director of library communications and advancement, said that from a budgetary standpoint, the library was responsible for providing access to scholarly journals across a number of fields to support the teaching, research and learning of the entire campus.
"It is becoming more and more cost prohibitive, whether electronically or in paper form, a cost that
grows in a rate that far outpaces inflation," Smith said. "This policy, is in a sense the grass-root effort to deal with the burgeoning cost of access to scholarly communications."
Under the open access policy, articles produced by University faculty will be filed as digital copies in
KU ScholarWorks, a free database created in 2005 that already houses and preserves more than 4,400 articles. The articles are available for free to anyone around the world.
Ada Emmett, associate librarian for scholarly
"If we can remove the barriers to access, then more people can read and contemplate what we do."
and neither was the University, which funded the faculty's research.
communications, said that when professors wanted their research to be published, they typically gave up all their copyrights and allowed the commercial journals to sell the access to research articles. The commercial journals then made a profit from those published research articles. Emmett said faculty were not compensated
"It's an old system that isn't working for today," Emmett said. "The University is paying to view articles of research that its own professor conducted. When a professor gives the articles to a publisher for free,
ANDREW PETERSON Professor of ecology
the publisher is making profit by selling it back to my institution."
Emmett said the new policy would allow professors to retain some of their copyrights, which in turn would allow them to submit a copy of their research to the University scholarly archives, where it would
be available for free to everyone. However, a professor could also give some of those copyrights to a scholarly journal that could still publish the article for paying subscribers. This way both students and faculty could benefit from a parallel system.
Emmett said that since the policy was approved, Oregon and Kansas
State universities had approached the University because they were intrigued by the movement. She said she expected more institutions to follow.
"It will have a ripple effect," Emmett said. "KU has been on the cutting edge of reform in open access and scholarly communications for over 10 years, so people look to KU as a public research university to see what we're doing."
Peterson said academia was not about profit, so the idea of limiting readership to those who paid journal subscriptions started to irritate him. He said that from his perspective, these limits were the seed that started it all.
"My hope is to see much greater visibility and citation of KU scholarship," Peterson said. "If we can remove the barriers to access, then many more people around the world can read and contemplate what we do."

Cleaning supplies cause evacuation at Watkins
15
At about 12:30 p.m.yesterday, a call was placed to the Public Safety office concerning a strong smell coming from Watkins Health Center.
Chance Dibben/KANSAN
Sergeant Gary Wieden of the KU Police Department said it was called in as a natural gas smell, but said he thought it might be a sewer gas leak.
Sharon Rohlmeier, senior administrative assistant at Watkins, described the smell as "very pervasive."
"I was at my office and I could hear everyone in the office say 'Do you smell that?'" Rohlmeier said. "Before we knew it they ordered us out of the building."
Joe Hoelscher, division chief of the Lawrence Fire Department, said that after investigating the odor, the firemen on the scene had indications that it was sewer gas.
"Since there is no known source, we tend to err on safety," Hoelscher said.
Mike Russell, director of environment, health and safety, was
able to shed some light on what officials on the scene believe to have been the culprit behind the smell.
Armed with odor detectors known as "sniffers;" they determined that the sulfur-like smell was not at levels high enough to be considered hazardous or harmful, rather just a nuisance.
Russell said it appeared that some type of cleaning material used to clean bathrooms wasn't fully diluted when properly flushed down the drain and had reacted with material inside the sewer system.
cal reaction produced gas that could come back up through floor drains and sink drains, and could happen anywhere from campus buildings to homes.
Russell said this kind of chemi-
"People need to be aware of their cleaning materials and that when they dispense with them to make sure they're properly diluted," Russell said.
Campus Facilities Operation workers aided in changing the building's air handlers to push outside air indoors to vent out the smell.

Apartments compete for college student market
BY KRISTEN LISZEWSKI
kliszewski@kansan.com
Two new apartment complexes have recently established Lawrence as their home. But the housing industry may face the same economic crunch students and residents are facing.
Although students will always need a place to live, some local apartment complexes are finding it difficult to persuade college students to lease their properties. The Grove, 4301 W. 24th Place, is still under construction but has increased its promotional incentives for students. Jill Dryden, assistant manager of The Grove, said they were waiving application fees and offering Visa gift cards to those who would commit to a lease.
"Our late market was what held us back from getting leases, but we are at a good rate now, especially so close to move-in dates," Dryden said.
New apartment complexes have also been competing with each other. The Exchange, 2040 W. 31st, is also still under construction and is offering promotions similar to those at The Grove. However, Dryden said she had no worries about economic problems affecting business.
Dryden said The Grove had 300 units that would be available for move-in in early August. As of now, half of those units have leasing commitments. She said she thought the Grove would be full for move-in day because there were still students out there looking for places to live.
Legends Place, 4101 W.24th Place, is a student-living complex that has called Lawrence home for six years.

785-840-9553
Kelly Bradley, property manager of Legends Place, said the complex would be about 80 percent full next semester, which was the same number as last year. She said new leases were making up for the number of students who could not renew their leases.
"We had more contract dropouts this year than we've had in the past," Bradley said. "Due to financial struggles residents just weren't able to continue their leases."
Bradley said she thought the new competition in the area had affected the Legends' ability to be as successful as it typically was. She said there hadn't been a shortage of student housing in Lawrence and was surprised when she heard of the new properties' construction.
"From a personal and business perspective, we strongly don't feel there was any need for those new complexes," Bradley said.
Erica Collins, Lawrence junior, said that as a leasing agent for The Grove, she has been working on the promotional aspect, encouraging students to check out the complex and take tours. She said part of her job was to come up with new and innovative marketing tactics to attract student attention to The Grove.
Kyra Myers, Pratt senior, also works as a promotional leasing agent for the Grove. She said The Grove had to increase its incentives in order to get students to sign with them because the economy and competition of the Exchange had definitely affected their number of leasers.
"According to corporate, The Grove in Lawrence is struggling," Myers said. "Corporate keeps asking us why we're not doing well, and it really is just because Lawrence is a different kind of market. Our market is college students, and they're having financial problems."

Group integrates new transfer students into campus culture
BY KRISTEN LISZEWSKI
kliszewski@kansan.com
Freshmen aren't always the new kids in town. Transfer students who begin their University careers as sophomores, juniors or even seniors struggle with the same issues freshmen face in a new campus environment.
Surveys conducted by Ball State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison showed that transfer students often had a more difficult time meeting other students and making friends than freshmen did because of
a lack of transition support from the new school. In 2008 the University started a program called the Transfer Student Priority Group to ease the transition for transfer students, but some students are still struggling.
"It was embarrassing taking out the campus map all the time."
Jeanne Brown, Olathe junior, said that when she transferred to the University from the University of Minnesota, she struggled connecting with new friends and didn't feel as if she was "part" of the University.
"A lot of my friends from high school went to KU," Brown said. "But I wasn't still connected with them that much, so it was really hard making new friends, especially because I wasn't living in the dorms."
Brown said she had trouble tran-
sittinging because her roommates already had their groups of friends and daily routines. She said that when she was on campus, it took her a while to get used to where all the buildings were. She said she didn't know where the Underground was for two months until she "happened" upon it. The Underground is located in the lower level of Wescoe Hall.
"I didn't want to look like a freshman." Brown said. "It was embarrassing taking out the campus map all the time and I hated asking random people where something was."
Lisa Wolf-Wendel, professor of educational leadership and policy studies, said
researchers had found that students transferring from a community college to four-year institutions often struggled academically when they first arrived, something she called "transfer shock."
"The reasons for the transfer shock might include a difference in institutional size and class size." Wolf-Wendel said. "It might be the new-found freedom students experience at the four-year college because often traditional aged students live at home while attending community college and then move away to attend the university."
Wolf-Wendel said research suggested that transfer shock often occurred because some universities
didn't offer support systems to help transfer students properly adjust. She said programs and support systems to help freshman feel comfortable in a university setting were more common.
Lizzie Morin, Olathe junior, transferred from Washburn University to the University last year. She said that because she lived in the residence halls at Washburn she knew everyone there and didn't have trouble making friends. She said that when she transferred to the University, it was more difficult to meet people because she moved into an apartment with another transfer student.
"I wish there had been some sort of organization or club for transfer students," Morin said. "I felt like the only way to meet people was through my classes, and that was definitely kind of awkward sometimes."
Morin said her transfer student orientation process was a little confusing and caused problems for her because a lot of her credits didn't transfer over, which put her behind schedule compared with other students her age.
Facult members formed the Transfer Student Priority Group to improve the experience of transfer students. The group developed a report that recommended a list of
15 activities and programs, including a Hawk Week event specifically for transfer students, that would make their experience better.
Lee Furbeck, associate director of admissions and scholarships, was
the leader of the Transfer Student Priority Group last year. She said that in Fall 2008,1,512 students transferred to the University. She noticed some common problems associated with students, such as living offcampus, that made it more difficult for
students to meet people initially.
"The transfer experience can really vary from person to person." Furbeck said. "Students who have been out of school awhile may have to get used to studying again."
"Students who have been out of school may have to get used to studying again."

Other information will be available such as campus maps, bus routes and
"I agree that transfer students have a more difficult time meeting other students and making new friends when they arrive to a new institution," Baker said. "Transfer students typically live off-campus, which makes it more difficult to get involved and meet people, compared to new freshmen students who live on campus and have an abundance of services and people available to them in their residence halls."

would be hosting a new series this fall called Hawk Lunches. She said the lunches would give new students an opportunity to reconnect with Orientation Assistants and have their questions about their first semester answered. One of these lunches will be specifically for transfer students.
"I encourage transfer students to live on campus for one year," Baker said. "If this is not an option, I encourage them to get involved with on of the many student organizations on campus."

Components of fungi may help to fight cancer
Chance Dibben/KANSAN
Bert Oakley, professor of molecular biology, has developed a process to activate genes of the fungus Aspergillus nidulans that may yield compounds effective for treating diseases. Some of these compounds, such as penicilline, lovastatin, and terrequinone are already used for medicinal benefit.
Research team has metabolic breakthrough
BY HANNAH DECLERK
hdeclerk@kansan.com
A research team at the University has discovered a potential cancerfighting mechanism in fungi compounds.
Fungi have been a long-time component of finding cures for disease. A team of researchers, including Berl Oakley, the Irving S. Johnson distinguished professor of molecular biology, is studying a chemical reaction known as secondary metabolism. Oakley said secondary metabolism is a chemical reaction in the fungi that allowed the fungi to eliminate surrounding organisms. For example, if the fungi in soil are surrounded by other organisms, then the fungi naturally compete with the organisms and become larger and stronger. Oakley said because of the secondary metabolism, fungi have become medically useful, allowing the fungi
to adapt and eliminate harmful surrounding bacteria.
Oakley and his research team have taken the method a step further by taking out certain genes in the fungi, allowing them to study the products of secondary metabolism in a lab setting.
"What we are studying may seem incredibly boring, but it is not." Oakley said, "Fungi kill cells naturally. In doing so, these cells have compounds that kill dividing cells, then they could selectively kill cancer cells."
Oakley and his research team did just that by discovering ways to manipulate the genes in a lab setting.
Chromatin, which consists of various proteins, is packed tightly around the DNA, Oakley said, making it difficult to genetically study the fungi in

a lab setting. By removing the tight compact, the researchers can control the genes in the DNA to study how the products of secondary metabolism are made.
Tetsuya Horio, associate research professor, returned to the University from Japan to be a part of Oakley's research team. He said the team could analyze proteins because it found a sequence in the genome migration.
Oakley said past researchers thought there was nothing more to discover about secondary fungi, but the way the genes were sequenced made it clear to the team that there was much more to learn.
A recent discovery involved medical compounds found in terrequinone, a component found in the studied fungi that has strong antitumor activity.
The potential cancer-fighting components in the fungi have very high potential of becoming a useful agent, especially in chemotherapy. Oakley said.
"It is clear that fungi do make anticancer compounds. By using our genetic approach we have an advantage to studying different paths." Oakley said.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said he had high expectations for the University's cancer research.
"I am excited about the medicinal and chemical research that happens at the University." Hemenway said, "I think our effort is going to be one of the strongest in the country for cancer-fighting."
The project was initiated by Oakley at Ohio State University, his former employer, but is now run at a lab in Hayworth Hall. Oakley's research is part of a $4 million, 5-year project funded by the National Institute of Health. Nancy Keller of the University of Wisconsin and Clay Wang of the University of Southern California also collaborated on the project.
As of now, the University just pays regular professor fees, said Oakley.
"The research is a good deal for the University," Oakley said. "If our research continues to become promising, then they receive extra money plus very positive recognition."

A. Corynebacterium cerevisiae
According to Berl Oakley, professor of molecular biology, fungi, such as aspergillus nidulans, shown here, may be manipulated to produce potentially beneficial compounds called fungal secondary metabolites. Some fungal secondary metabolites used for medicinal purposes include penicillin, lovastatin, and terrequione.

NATIONAL Little girl's body found after burial two years ago
STAMFORD, Conn. — A body found in a New Jersey river this week belonged to a 2-year-old girl
whose remains were apparently stolen from a grave in Connecticut, police said Tuesday.
An investigation led authorities to the grave of a girl who was buried in Stamford in 2007.
Conklin would not release the child's identity Tuesday.
Stamford Police Capt. Richard
"We have speculation and theories as to why something took place,"he said.

CRIME
Three arrested for Sunday shooting at Club 821
Police arrested three men in connection with a shooting Sunday morning at 821 Club, located at 9th and Iowa Streets.
According to a media release by Lawrence police, a 19-year-old Topeka man received a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and was then transferred to a Kansas City hospital.
Police responded to the incident at 1:55 a.m. and chased a car with three suspects to the 2100 block of Iowa.The driver, a 26-year-old Colorado man, was arrested at the scene. The two passengers fled on foot. One of them, a 20-year-old Topeka man, was arrested by a Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy. The other passenger, a 19-year-old Topeka man, was arrested later in the morning by a Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy.
Police asked anyone with any information about the incident to call the Lawrence Police Department at 785-832-7509 or the TIPS Hotline at 785-832-TIPS.
This is the second shooting at the location in the last four months.
Another shooting occurred at 821 Club, then called Club Axis, March 29. It also resulted in non-life-threatening injuries for the victim.

Dog Days and LiveWell Lawrence host workout
Today is all about making history. This afternoon, Don "Red Dog" Gardner, in collaboration with community initiative LiveWell Lawrence, will host what may be the world's largest community workout at Shenk Fields on the corner of 23rd and lowa streets. Check-in is at 5:30 p.m. and the workout will begin at 6 p.m.
Chip Blaser, executive director of the Douglas County Community Foundation, said the LiveWell Lawrence group hoped the event would draw 2,000 to 3,000 people.
Blaser said the organization might put this event on again in the future, at which point, it could have enough time to go through the Guinness record application.
"But for now we're basically going to dare anyone to tell us it's not a world record," Blaser said.
Blaser said the goal of the event was to celebrate the Dog Days program and to challenge other communities to have larger workouts.
The fitness workout will be scaled back so that people of all levels can participate, Blaser said.
KU Recreation Services will provide the facilities for the workout and the Dog Days group will provide the exercise routines.

'Slumdog' child star moves out of slums
BY ERIKA KINETZ
MUMBAL, India — "Slumdog Millionaire" child star Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and his mother moved into their new home Tuesday, leaving behind a corrugated metal slum shanty for four solid walls, doors that lock and an indoor toilet.
"I was shocked when I saw this house," Azhar, 11, said, before turning on one of his favorite Hindi songs and dancing around the living room. "I want to thank Danny Boyle for giving us this flat."
Associated Press
Boyle, the director of the Oscarwinning hit, and producer Christian Colson will transfer the $50,000 one-bedroom apartment to Azhar's name when he turns 18, provided he finishes school.
At the moment, Azhar has sever
al new challenges to ponder — chief among them, what to put on the walls, and how not to forget one's house keys
He held up pink and blue "Welcome" posters against the apartment's cheery yellow walls, considering which might be best — or whether to go with a shining red rendering of Mecca.
The apartment is on the ground floor of a seven story brown concrete apartment building called "Harmony," which sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Santa Cruz West section of Mumbai, not too far from where Azhar attends school.
Azhar's mother Shameem Ismail said she was looking forward to their first night in the new apartment.
"God has given me so much," she said. "We will sleep very well tonight. There is no water leaking, no bad environment, no quarreling."
She and Azhar will share the main room, while Azhar's brother Irfan Ismail
Sheikh, 22, and his wife will sleep on a mattress in the kitchen, she said.
Meanwhile, back in Garib Nagar, Azhar's father, Mohammed Ismail, sat disconsolately on the hard wooden bed crawling with flies that the family used to share. He will remain here, and visit his son and wife in the new apartment regularly, he said.
He said he's hoping to get some government land in exchange for the shanty, and prefers to remain near the neighbors, chickens and mucky lanes he has always called home.
Azhar's mother said she doesn't want her husband in the new house because he does drugs, but she pledged to return to Garib Nagar for visits.
"That is our memories," she said, sitting on her new bed in her new living room as a huge smile dawned on her face.

TV:"Superstars"
What do you get when you pair somewhat famous celebrities with athletes past their prime? You get the show "Superstars" on ABC. Set in the Bahamas, eight couples of one athlete and one celebrity compete in two strenuous competitions each episode. After the two events, the teams with the lowest scores compete against each other in an obstacle course. If they lose on the obstacle course, they are eliminated from the competition.
The most recognizable and fun-to-watch team consists of NFL player Terrell Owens and model
Joanna Krupa. During the first episode, they were eliminated after T.O. failed to get through the obstacle course. During that struggle, Krupa was behind cursing and mocking her teammate's performance. But after former tennis player Jennifer Capriati and actor David Charvet left the competition, T.O. and Krupa were brought back on. The other athletes on the show include WNBA player Lisa Leslie, NBA player Robert Horry and Olympic skier Bode Miller.
The show itself would be somewhat tolerable if it wasn't for
the terrible commentary from host John Saunders, who also is the host of the Sunday morning show, "The Sports Reporters" on ESPN. Saunders' attempt to comment on the teams' performance is cheesy and makes you want to set your TV on mute for an hour and just watch it, making it a whole lot better.
"Superstars" seemed like a good idea, updating it from the original show back in the 1970s. But the show falls flat despite its best efforts.

Video game:"The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion"
You can now find two of the greatest modern video games for sale in a bundle package for cheap. "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" and "BioShock" became available together July 7 for about $40 on the Xbox 360 and about $30 for Windows PCs.
Having owned both games, I can say that you shouldn't miss out on this deal if you don't already have these games.
Oblivion has an epic story line fleshed out with dozens of side-quests. You can roam freely through a huge world that includes abandoned dungeons and hidden ruins filled with enemies to fight and treasure to find. You can also customize how your character looks, customize your skills, choose from a huge assortment of weapons and armor, perform magic spells and even own and decorate a multitude of houses.
If you manage to get burned out on Oblivion, then there's another game waiting for you. BioShock is set in a dark alternate universe where a city was built under the Atlantic. What you find out is the city has turned into a chaotic
dungeon full of monstrous experiments gone wrong.
The levels on BioShock are brilliantly and beautifully designed. What I liked most about it was the story, which keeps you guessing at every twist until the exciting conclusion that includes two different endings.
Now that these games have been released together, anyone looking for something new for their Box 360 or PC should look no further.
Book: Ammonite by Nicola Griffith
Ever wonder what society would be like without men? Nicola Griffiths's "Ammonite" explores that question. Her novel is best described as "lesbian science fiction." The main character, Marghe, is an anthropologist whose job is to investigate a planet that has no male population. All the men died from a virus years ago, but the women are still procreating. Marghe's job is to find out why.
The novel sifts through our gender norms and preconceptions Griffith gives the women of the novel realistic characterization and avoids stereotypes.
There are places where the novel falters. The matriarchal society is based on a mix of Mongol and shamanistic cultures, which isn't all that convincing. The women on the planet ride horses, wear pelts and act like barbarians. I don't know if women of the future would revert to this lifestyle. Griffith depends on the women "forgetting" a past that brimmed with futuristic technology. However, the novel asks many questions and is a fast and fun read. When she isn't delving into fantasy, Griffith's science is sound.

Album:"Cradlesong"by Rob Thomas
If "Cradlesong" was a beer, it would be called "Something to Be Light," Rob Thomas' follow-up to his 2005 multi-platinum solo debut provides a strong buzz, but one that won't last as long. The album's first single, "Her Diamonds," is similar to most of the tracks in that it contains music and hooks that are simultaneously catchy and potentially forgettable. The mixture continues with the fast-paced "Give Me the Meltdown" to the hopeful "Someday." "Wonderful," backed by booming horns and aggressive vocals from Thomas, is arguably the album's most emotionally complete,
and therefore best, track.
The album stumbles in its sometimes clichéd and corny lyrics. On "Mockingbird," Thomas sings, "You and me tried everything/And still that mockingbird won't sing" The lazy lyrics only occasionally appear, but when they do it is disappointing because Thomas sues them with his usual persuasive zeal, which only reminds you of what they could be.
This is an album that succeeds because of Thomas' soulful tone. It's a little less-filling than "Something to Be," but it still has a great taste.

NOTES FROM ABROAD
Drinking a major part of Irish life
Dublin is a drinking town. Not to say that the great writers, musicians and history that have helped shape Irish culture are less important because they aren't.
But, when the number one tourist attraction in Dublin (Ireland's capital) is the Guinness Brewery, it's safe to say that drinking is what most people come here for.
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
It's not like how people go to Vegas to gamble or Amsterdam to smoke, though.
The drinking culture in Ireland is as much about the great writers, musicians and history of the country as it is about imbibing your alcoholic beverage of choice.
Or, at least it can be.
The Temple Bar district is one of the oldest and most famous parts of Dublin. Here, you can visit the same pubs that James Joyce, Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett frequented. The most popular walking tour in Dublin is the Literary Pub Crawl, in which actors guide you through various pubs, sharing stories of Irish writers and re-enacting their works.
It comes highly recommended by yours truly.
Many of the pubs advertise live music every night, but don't expect the traditional fiddle and bow drum typically associated with Irish music.
Instead, you'll hear a new national sound that artists such as Damien Rice, Fionn Regan and Glen Hansard (from the Once movie) are making famous around the world. These artists got their start in Dublin and you can enjoy the same caliber of music anywhere from open-mic nights to street performances to just a regular night at the pub.
And then, of course, you can see the history around you in the pubs such as The Brazen Head, Ireland's oldest pub, which dates
The Guinness factory in Dublin looks something like Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory, and guides you through how the Irish stout became a national symbol. Then there's the Jameson Factory, exporter of the world's most popular Irish whiskey. Although the Scottish are credited with inventing whiskey, many here claim it was the Irish monks who showed them how to make what they called "aqua vitae," meaning the water of life.
With over 900 pubs, many of them open past 2 a.m., moderate drinking isn't really encouraged here.
Although the stereotypical Irish drunk is all laughs, smiles, songs and stories, there is also a darker picture.
James Joyce's "The Dubliners" and Frank McCourt's "Angela's" Ashes describe how "the drink" has ruined families and people.
It's not uncommon to come across a handful of people in normal clothing passed out on the street from the night before, lying in their own vomit and urine.
It's also not strange to see men urinating on buildings in broad day-light and people stumbling through the city holding a bottle in a brown bag.
A saying exists here that "God created alcohol to prevent the Irish from taking over the Earth."
But when you look at the U.S., or even the recent tragedies that took place right in Lawrence, alcohol affects many of the Irish in the same way it does Americans and people in every other country in the world.
I guess the difference is that in America, a lot of people go out to get drunk with their friends. Here, when you go to a pub, you're drinking with friends while you chat with strangers, listening to their stories and then telling them your own.
Even if God created alcohol to keep the Irish from conquering the world, I don't think they'd care. Without it, I doubt Ireland would have the stories, music and fun that attracts people from the countries God deemed was okay to take over the earth.

This image from a video clip released on Thursday, May 7, 2009 by the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, shows unidentified state school residents in a staged fight. District Judge Jose Longoria turned over this and other video lawyers for the mother of a former state school resident.
No use of video in fight club case
BY CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN
Associated Press
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Texas judge dealt a major blow Tuesday to the case against a man accused of filming late-night "fight club" bouts at a state facility for the developmentally disabled, ruling that videos of them could not be used at trial.
State District Judge Sandra Watts granted former employee Timothy Dixon's motion to suppress the cell phone on the grounds that it was stolen property, and delayed his trial until prosecutors can appeal.
Prosecutor Doug Mann said the setback did not destroy the state's case because there will be witness testimony, but that the phone had been "the best evidence."
"The best recollection in the world will not be better than the time and date stamp on a video," Mann said.
In March, almost 20 videos dating to 2007 were discovered on the phone that was found at a clothing store. The videos showed staff at the school forcing residents into fights, even kicking them to egg them on.
Eleven staff members were identified and six were charged. One pleaded guilty Monday and another has been offered immunity in exchange for her testimony. None of those charged still works at the school.
On Monday, David Herrera, who found the phone, said he did not initially intend to take it to authorities. Only after taking it home and finding the videos did he decide to offer it to two television stations. When they both passed on it, Herrera's girlfriend took it to an off-duty police officer, Herrera said.
After Watts indicated Monday that she was leaning toward keeping the phone out, prosecutors argued Tuesday that the distinction was that it had been found in a public place, constituting abandonment, rather in a private place where it would have been theft.
But Watts rejected that argument, siding with Dixon's attorney Ira Miller in saying that the state had presented no evidence that Dixon had intentionally abandoned the phone. Miller declined to comment.
"This is not a popular decision and I understand that," Watts said. "I don't have any choice in this case."
Also Tuesday, Watts scheduled the sentencing of former school employee D'Angelo Riley, 23, for Thursday. Riley pleaded guilty Monday to three counts of causing injury to a disabled person, a third-degree felony.
Trials against three other former employees are scheduled for late July and August.

PARKING (CONTINUED FROM 1)
The recommendations also include doubling the price of the 1.5 hour meters compared to the original 2 hour meters. A quarter used to buy an hour of parking on Massachusetts Street, but with the new meters a quarter would last 30 minutes.
City staff estimated these recommendations would generate $321,151 in additional revenue for the city.
Michael Spero, Shawnee senior, said he parked on Massachusetts Street for everything from going to his barber to go out
to bars. Spero said the main thing that bothered him about the proposal was increasing patrol hours to 6 p.m.
"I think it would be a pain, though, right now to extend the hours to 6." Spero said. "I like where it's at, at 5 o'clock."
Spero said another issue was reducing the maximum time on meters from two hours to one and a half hours because he needed more time downtown.
Audrey Stewart, Lenexa junior, said she liked to use Massachusetts Street to eat, but had had trouble in the past finding parking downtown. Stewart said she was not happy with the proposed changes.
"Part of the reason I like going downtown is it's cheap." Stewart said. "And it goes off at five, so if I want to go down and hang out after five, it's nice."
Steward said she would still park on Massachusetts Street even if she had to scrounge up some more change. She said she thought it would be a good idea to put change machines downtown near meters.
"If you take care of your meter you won't have those issues with the higher fees."
Dave Corliss, city manager, said the fee increases were needed because parking fund revenues were stagnating and because providing more service required more funds.
Corliss said the money would stay in
BRYAN WRIGHT Wichita senior
the parking fund and the additional revenue would be used for personnel, maintenance and beautification for downtown. He said that because costs were growing, other funds had been used to pay for projects downtown, including the repair of Massachusetts Street.
"We want to try and reduce that," Corliss said.
Bryan Wright, Wichita senior, said that if the city used the money as planned, he didn't see any problem with the proposal.
"The costs already are pretty cheap," Wright said. "If you take care of your meter you won't have those issues with the higher fees. As long as they use the money right, it's fine by me."
Corliss said staff consulted Downtown Lawrence, Inc., a group of local shop owners, about the best way to proceed with fee increases.
Dan Hughes, president of DLI, said that the organization never would have suggested fee increases downtown, but that the city would increase fees and fines no matter what. He said the main concern with increasing fees was balancing the turnover of parking spots for other customers while maintaining fines and fees that didn't deter customers from coming downtown.
"I'm sure you know people who have gotten a ticket downtown," Hughes said. "Their first reaction is usually an
expletive and 'i got a ticket,' and then they find out it's two bucks and then they're like "This is laughable."
Hughes said the recommended fee increases addressed some of the parking issues downtown.
"It's harder to find a parking spot at night than it is during the day," Hughes said. "Moving the meter times back a little bit addresses when people are really parking downtown."
Hughes said the increase in fines would help in keeping those employed along Massachusetts from using meters spots as personal parking. The 15-minute meters would also assist in getting more customers downtown, Hughes said.
In return for these fee increases, Hughes said, DLI asked that the money be reinvested downtown with more foot patrol and beautification efforts.
Hughes said the recommendations city staff approved were effective without being overbearing.
"I think it's the best compromise we were going to get," Hughes said. "They just need money."
Spero said that collecting the money for parking patrol and beautification was acceptable, but that he wondered how much would be done to clean up downtown. He said that if he were to improve the downtown environment, he would bring in more activities such as concerts. He also suggested a pep-rally for students at the beginning of the school year.
Chad Davis, Olathe sophomore, said he liked going downtown and considered it to be clean and safe.
"I guess there's some rugged parts of Lawrence, but usually Mass and downtown wherever you go looks
"I think it's the best compromise we were going to get. They just need money."
PROPOSED DOWNTOWN PARKING CHANGES:
DAN HUGHES President of DLI
Increase parking fines to $3
Increase parking fine late fees to $12
~ $104,678 in additional revenue
Enforce meters 9:35 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Pharmacy hopes for affordable birth control by August
BY STEPH SCHNEIDER sschneider@kansan.com
For the last three years, contraceptive prices at the Watkins Memorial Health Center pharmacy have steadily increased. But beginning in August, at least one birth control brand may be sold at a lower price.
The Federal Deficit Reduction Act that began in 2006 altered how drug makers calculated rebates, making it more expensive for manufacturers to offer university pharmacies a discounted price. But at Watkins pharmacy,the contraceptive Loestrin 24 may be offered at the price it was at before the act if a petition and contract are approved.
The Federal Deficit Reduction Act did not affect Watkins pharmacy right away, Cathy Thrasher, Watkins pharmacist, said.
"We had enough inventory to supply students for a while," Thrasher said.
But the act has made it more
expensive for drug companies to sell contraceptives to colleges and other health care facilities, which makes the student price steeper and the demand for less expensive contraceptives higher.
When contraceptives such as Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo's price increased, revenue at the pharmacy decreased dramatically, Thrasher said.
Ione Fairchild, Wichita sophomore who has been on birth control since she was 11, said she gets her contraceptive, Yaz, through Dillons.
"One month I was paying $45 for my pills, the next it was $63," Fairchild said. "Saving almost $15 really matters to students."
If the price was less through Watkins pharmacy, Fairchild said, she would switch.
"I haven't really compared prices yet," Fairchild said. "But it's really expensive either way."
Ken Sarber, a Wellness Resource Center public health educator, said he had not noticed students complaining
to anyone at Watkins about contraceptive pricing.
"They complain to people who do the pricing," Sarber said.
The March 11 approval of the Omnibus Appropriations Bill asked manufactures to return contraceptives to lower prices for universities.
"Manufacturers can offer nominal prices to the University if they want to," Thrasher said. "We hate not being able to offer reasonable prices to students."
Thrasher said things had progressed thanks to a pharmacist in Florida who sent a letter to a contraceptive manufacturer and convinced it to lower its prices. The contract was approved by manufactures and the contraceptive Loestrin 24 was then offered at the lower price.
During finals week last semester, Thrasher, with the help of a few students, produced a petition that asked manufactures to return contraceptives to original lower prices. The petition lasted through the end of June and
10 MOST PURCHASED BIRTH CONTROLS AT WATKINS MEMORIAL HEALTH CENTER
1. Tri-Previfem: $15 6. Ocella: $43.45
2. Aviane: $15 7. Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo: $55.50
3. Apri: $11 8. Kariva: $19.15
4. YAZ: $63.70 9. Cryselle: $15
5. NuvaRing: $59.70 10. Loestrin 24: $24
was created to show there was support by college students to reduce contraceptive prices. "We got about 1,000 signatures showing support," Thrasher said. "Now we just have to figure out who to send it all to."
"We know students are on a limited income," Thrasher said. "And students are our business."
Once the appropriate paperwork, including the petition, is sent and approved, Thrasher said, Loestrin 24 will be available at a lower price.
Patricia Denning, senior student health physician, said there had not
yet been a break in having more affordable contraceptives.
"We are doing everything we know we can legally", Denning said. "But manufacturers have no requirement to change prices."
The student health fee, which is currently 60 percent of Watkins' budget, was created to take care of students, Thrasher said.
"If contraceptive prices decrease, it's a win-win for us and students," Thrasher said.

Jayhawker yearbook returning with fresh look
BY STEPH SCHNEIDER sschneider@kansan.com
Since its near extinction four years ago, the Jayhawker yearbook is making a comeback.
University students and faculty are keeping the yearbook tradition alive with a new look at a lower cost.
It was hard to find people to take the Jayhawker over after the 2006- 2007 issue, Tom Johnson, general manager of KJHK, said.
Johnson said the Jayhawker became less cost effective because of the popularity of the Internet and general lack of interest. He said only 1,000 to 2,000 people bought the yearbook in 2006.
"It's a seemingly important time capsule," Johnson said. "So we've been asked to resurrect the last two years of it."
The last two years of the Jayhawker were each produced by two people, an editor and designer, and will be available in August. The 2009-2010 edition will be produced by the University Daily Kansan and will be available May 2010, Jon Schitt, Kansan sales and marketing advisor, said.
Though the Jayhawker had not been produced the last two years, Johnson said most people did not want to see it go away.
"We want to keep the tradition alive" Johnson said.
Students will be told to go to a specific location to obtain their previously ordered copy, or worst case, it will be mailed to a permanent address, Johnson said.
Kat Bostic, St. Louis, senior, said if the yearbook was less expensive and more appealing to students she might buy it.
New changes to the Jayhawker are being made as well. The yearbook will be a 180-page magazine layout, and include advertisements, Schitt said. Previously, the yearbook did not contain advertisements. The price of the book will be reduced from $50 to $10.
"I haven't found it interesting enough to buy," Bostic said.
Schlitt said a new Jayhawker Web site, www.Jayhawker.com, was being developed to attract more students. The Web site will have exclusive
content available only to those who bought a yearbook.
Facebook makes it easier for people to stay in touch over the years, therefore there wasn't as big of a need to have a yearbook with photos of past students to serve as a keepsake, Schlitt said.
"There will always be a need, however, to remember the year," Schlitt said.
Schlitt said he had not seen any other schools produce a yearbook in a magazine format and at such a low price.
"Most yearbook subscription numbers are dwindling." Schlitt said. "This presents a great opportunity for us."

Job hunters look for new options
Law, engineering students find work opportunities scarce
BY JESSE RANGEL jrangel@kansan.com
The current state of the job market has the Office of Career Services at the School of Law concerned. The program's 66 percent job placement rate was in danger of slipping for Spring 2009 graduates.
So far, the rate for the school is at 60 percent. Todd Rogers, assistant dean for career services at the school said.
The School of Law and the School of Engineering are informing their graduates of new opportunities beyond the traditional full-time job. Fewer jobs are open for graduates overall, not just because jobs are being cut, but because more people with jobs are opting to stay in place.
The national job openings figures for May, released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, show job openings down 23 percent for professional and business services, down 26 percent for education and
down 26 percent for education and
healthcare, and down 23 percent for financial activities. Total jobs open in the Midwest are down 37 percent, from 824,000 to 515,000. The job openings rate is calculated by the jobs available for hiring on the last day of the month.
Rogers said some law firms were not hiring because employees who normally left to find a better job after three or four years were staying put longer. Cathy Schwabauer, director of the Engineering Career Center, said some engineering companies had told her they were hiring fewer graduates because the retirement rate had slowed.
However, Shwabauer said some companies were still making sure a good relationship existed, even when the companies couldn't offer jobs.
"Some companies are looking for more outreach opportunities," Schwabauer said. "They are saying: 'Can we help with a mock interview? Can we talk to student groups?'"
Larry Jacobson, director of the National Society of Professional Engineers, urged students to take professional accreditation exams.
"We strongly encourage all graduate students to take the fundamentals of engineering exam so that later on they can take the professional engineering exam," Jacobson said.
"A lot of students don't realize how important it is to be the part of the 10 percent who are licensed nationally. It's pretty hard to go back and get licensed after you graduate."
Jacobson said students should be ready for when jobs open.
"Given the turnover of engineering, with baby boomers leaving the industry, engineering students who are licensed will be able to name their paycheck," Jacobson said.
Schwabauer said that the lack of openings was temporary, and that retirements would pick up once the economy improved.
Rogers said some law firms were hiring,but were holding off a start date until January.
"We've had half a dozen students who have been told by their employer not to show up." Rogers said.
He said interest in the Bremyer Summer Intern Scholarship, a program that gives incentive for students to practice law in smaller Kansas towns, had increased.
Rogers said more students were inquiring about working in small law firms, non-profits and government agencies.
"It's so important to gain the practical experience," Rogers said.

Chinese police employ curfew to end violence
BY WILLIAM FOREMAN
Associated Press
INTERNATIONAL
URUMQI, China — Sobbing Muslim women scuffled with riot police, and Chinese men welding steel pipes, meat cleavers and sticks rampaged through the streets Tuesday as ethnic tensions worsened in China's oil-rich Xinjiang territory, forcing officials to declare a curfew.
Online college courses offered by Barton Community College
The new violence in Xinjiang's capital erupted only a few hours after the city's top officials told reporters the streets in Urumqi were returning to normal following a riot that killed 156 people Sunday. The officials also said more than 1,000 suspects had been rounded up since the spasm of attacks by Muslim Uighurs against Han Chinese, the ethnic majority.
The chaos returned when hundreds of young Han men seeking revenge began gathering on sidewalks with kitchen knives, clubs, shovels and wooden poles. They spent most of the afternoon marching through the streets, smashing windows of Muslim restaurants and trying to push past police cordons protecting minority neighborhoods. Riot police successfully fought them back with volleys of tear gas and a massive show of force.
After the crowds thinned out, a curfew was announced from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. Police cars cruised the streets in the evening, telling people to go home, and they complied.
Harmony has been hard to achieve in Xinjiang, a rugged region three times the size of Texas with deserts, mountains and the promise of huge oil and natural gas reserves. Xinjiang is also the homeland for 9 million Uighurs (pronounced WEE-gers), a Turkies-speaking group.
Many Uighurs believe the Han Chinese, who have been flooding into the region in recent years, are trying to crowd them out. They often accuse the Han of prejudice and waging campaigns to restrict their religion and culture.
The Han Chinese allege the Uighurs are backward and ungrateful for all the economic development and modernization the Han have brought to Xinjiang. They also complain that the Uighurs' religion — a moderate form of Sunni Islam — keeps them from blending into Chinese society, which is officially communist and largely secular.
U. N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay called the violence a "major tragedy."

Pillars represent London bombing victims
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Friends and relatives of the victims of the July 7, 2005 London bombings walk amongst the pillars of the London Bombing Memorial before its dedication in London's Hyde Park, July 7. The memorial consists of 11.5 feet tall stainless steel pillars - one for each of the victims of the bombings.
BY MIKE BUSHNELL
Associated Press
LONDON - Families of terrorist victims joined royalty and lawmakers Tuesday to unveil a memorial of 52 steel pillars in a London park one for each victim of the July 7, 2005, attacks on the city's transit system.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, London Mayor Boris Johnson and the Prince of Wales and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, attended the memorial service along with the bereaved. The stainless steel columns stand 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) tall in central London's Hyde Park.
"I believe the date of the London bombings is etched vividly on all our minds, as a brutal intrusion into the lives of thousands of people." Prince Charles told those gathered for the memorial.
Some relatives of those who died left single white or red roses next to a memorial plaque, while the names of all those killed were read aloud.
Cathey Johnson, whose husband Adrian Johnson was killed, attended with her two children. "I think the designers have been really careful to accommodate everybody's needs. I think it's very fitting," she said of the
memorial.
Marc Lambert, a 46-year-old art consultant who works close to the park, carried a large bouquet of roses to the memorial service. He said he'd left flowers at the bomb sites each year since the attacks.
"Every year I have usually brought bouquets to each of the sites as a gesture to say that 'London hasn't forgotten you,'" said Lambert. "I hope this will crystallize as a place to remember how London gets knocked
down, gets up and carries on."
Former Mayor Ken Livingstone, who was in office at the time of the attacks by four suicide bombers on three subway trains and a bus, praised the design of the memorial. "I think it's just exactly right," he said.
As Londoners gathered for the ceremony, British lawmakers warned that the city's subway and bus network remain extremely vulnerable to attack by terrorists.
The Home Affairs Select Committee said in a report published Tuesday that the city's famous Tube and bus networks remained iconic targets.
Transport for London, which operates public transport in Britain capital, said it had carried out major improvements to security and upgraded communications systems for emergency staff.
Committee chairman Keith Vaz said that the panel will hold a new inquiry into the July 7,2005 attacks and will ask the heads of Britain's intelligence agencies to give evidence.
Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee has held two previous inquiries into the attacks, both of which rejected claims that security officials did too little to thwart the attacks.
"We must never underestimate the continued grave threat the U.K. faces from terrorist attack," Vaz said in a statement.

SUPREME COURT Republicans cite racial bias criticize Obama's choice
WASHINGTON — Conservatives stepped up their criticism of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor on Tuesday, but it was unclear how far Senate Republicans were willing to go to create bumps in what appeared to be a smooth road to confirmation for President Barack Obama's first high-court choice.
Even as the Senate's top Republican suggested that Sotomayor let racial bias cloud her rulings, he and other GOP senators refused to say whether they would accede to conservative activists' demands to try to delay a final vote to confirm her until September.
The fresh critiques of Sotomoyar came as the American Bar Association, a national lawyers' group, rated her "well-qualified" to be a justice.
Democrats rushed to defend so-tomayor against charges that she's an activist who would allow racial bias to interfere with her decisions.

Jackson's memorial service broadcast around the world
BY JESSE WASHINGTON
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — It was not spectacular, extravagant or bizarre. There were songs and tears but little dancing. Instead, Michael Jackson's memorial was a somber, spiritual ceremony that reached back for the essence of the man.
TOMMY GIBSON
Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Michael Katherine, center, is comforted by family members at a memorial service for her father at the Staples Center in Los Angeles July 7.
Singer, dancer, superstar, humanitarian: That was how the some 20,000 people gathered inside the Staples Center arena on Tuesday, and untold millions watching around the world, remembered Jackson, whose immense talents almost drowned beneath the spectacle of his life and fame.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
If there was a shocking moment, it came in the form of Jackson's daughter, Paris-Michael, who made the first public statement of her 11 years.
tears and turning to lean on her aunt Janet. "And I just wanted to say I love him — so much."
Outside the arena, the celebrity-industrial complex that Jackson helped create ground on. More than 3,000 police officers massed downtown to keep the ticketless at bay. Helicopters followed the golden casket as it was driven over blocked-off freeways from Forest Lawn cemetery to Staples Center. A bazaar of T-shirts, buttons, photos and other memorabilia sprouted in the blocks around the memorial. Movie theaters played the service live and people paused around the world to watch.
"Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, dissolving into
Inside, however, the atmosphere was churchlike, assisted by the enormous video image of a stained glass window, with red-gold clouds blowing past, that was projected behind the stage.
"Be strong."
A lengthy silence of several minutes followed, punctuated only by a steady twinkle of camera flashes. The thousands of mourners spoke softly to those in neighboring seats or contemplated their private thoughts.
The ceremony began with Smokey Robinson reading statements from Jackson's close friend Diana Ross — "Michael was part of the fabric of my life" — and then Nelson Mandela —
Celebrities made their way to their seats in front of the stage: Kobe Bryant, Spike Lee, Wesley Snipes, Lou Ferrigno, Don King, the Kardashian sisters, Magic Johnson, Brooke Shields, Larry King. While Jackson was among the most famous faces in the world, today's megastars were largely absent. Those present mostly reflected some connection to Jackson's life or work.
Among those conspicuously not in attendance were Elizabeth Taylor, Ross and Debbie Rowe, Jackson's ex-wife and the mother of Jackson's two oldest children.
The pre-ceremony stillness was broken by the organ strains of an African-American spiritual. "Hallelujah, hallelujah, going to see the King," a choir sang. The crowd
at age 50.
cheered and rose to its feet.
The Rev. Lucious W. Smith of the Friendship Baptist Church in Pasadena gave the greeting, standing on the same stage where Jackson had been rehearsing for a comeback concert before his death on June 25
"All around us are people of different cultures, different religions, different nationalities." Rev. Smith said as he closed the service. "And yet the music of Michael Jackson brings us together."

CRIME
Police kill South Carolina serial killer suspect
BY MEG KINNARD AND MITCH WEISS Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina serial killer who terrorized a small community was well-known to authorities as a bully, so intimidating that a scared elderly man once refused to testify against him and extortion charges were thrown out.
The criminal, Patrick Burris, had repeated run-ins with police for stealing and writing bad checks, and authorities said Tuesday they weren't surprised his crimes escalated. They said Burris, paroled in April after serving eight years in a North Carolina prison, should have never been released.
315
Burris, 41, shot five people to death in a 10-mile area of rural Gaffney in the span of six days last week. He was fatally shot Monday by officers investigating a burglar complaint at a home in Gastonia, N.C., 30 miles from where the killing
spree started. Ballistics from a gun found with Burris linked him to the South Carolina slayings.
Reggie Lloyd, Director of South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, holds a rap sheet on Patrick Tracy Burris during a conference outside the Cherokee County Law Enforcement Center, in Gaffney, S.C., July 6. Burris was shot dead by officers investigating a burglary 30 miles from where the killings started.
"He always had a violent streak," Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page said. "He was very intimidating and very threatening from his appearance; He was at least 6-5 and 250 pounds. You didn't want to mess with him."
It's unclear why Burris began his killing spree. He was arrested more than 30 times in North Carolina alone. He also had convictions in Florida, Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
In 1996, Page arrested Burris for extortion. He was accused of forcing an elderly man to write a check and cash it at the bank. But the charges were dropped when the man refused to testify.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"He intimidated that man. He was scared. There was no way he was going to testify." Page said.
South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Chief Reggie Lloyd, a former judge and federal prosecutor, said more should be done to keep habitual offenders like Burris behind bars.
"You didn't want to cross him," Pyrtle said. "He had that scowl."
"At some point, either prosecutors or judges did not believe that it warranted more time. Our entire system has really got to get serious about how we deal with these types of offenders," Lloyd said.
The Gaffney killings began when peach farmer Kline Cash, 63, was killed June 27. Four days later, 83-year-old Hazel Linder and her daughter, 50-year-old Gena Linder Parker, were found bound and shot in the woman's home. The next day, Stephen Tyler and his 15-year-old daughter Abby were found shot in their family's store.
A former FBI profiler said it would
Gaffney police chief Richard Turner said they were tracing the suspect's activities and trying to figure out if he had killed others.
be a tough question to answer.
"This guy has got victims ranging from 15 to 83, he's got males, he's got females," said Mark Safarik, who retired in 2007 as a senior profiler in the FBI's famed Behavioral Analysis
Unit. "I don't think that he had the motivation of a serial killer. How he got access to them and what the engagement was with these victims would go a long way to tell you what this dynamic is."

Eight kidneys transplanted between four states
Rome : Larry H. Berry
Donor Pamela Paulk, 55, of Baltimore, Md., embraces surgeon Dr. Robert Montgomery Tuesday, July 7 at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md. Montgomery said he and doctors in three other hospitals completed the largest series of kidney paired donation procedures ever undertaken.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY AARON MORRISON
Associated Press
BALTIMORE - A transplant surgeon who completed an unprecedented eight-way kidney swap this week said Tuesday he believed such intricate, multistate exchanges could drastically reduce the number of patients waiting for eligible donors.
Dr. Robert Montgomery, chief transplant surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and doctors at four hospitals in four states transplanted eight kidneys over three weeks in what he called the largest chain of donations in history.
"We finally beat the 'Grey's Anatomy' record for domino transplants," Montgomery joked at a news conference hours after the last in a series of surgeries was completed Monday night. "We hope this creates a movement that encourages other transplant centers to adopt the model we used."
The donor pool in the United States could facilitate 1,500 transplants per year if transplant centers nationwide participated in computer modeling that matches donors with recipients. Montgomery said.
Multiple-kidney transplants occur when several people who need transplants have friends or relatives who are willing to donate kidneys but aren't compatible. A chain of surgeries is arranged in which each donor is matched with a transplant candidate who they don't know but is compatible with the kidney being given up. The chain of transplants typically also involve a so-called altruistic donor, who's willing to give a kidney to anyone and is located through a database.
Ten doctors performed 16 surgeries on the eight donors and eight recipients at Hopkins, Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, INTEGRIS Baptist Memorial Center in Oklahoma City and
Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit.
Recipients and donors were equally delighted to be part of unique procedure.
Surgeons at John Hopkins transplanted six kidneys simultaneously in April 2008 and performed a quintuple transplant in 2006. They have also completed several triple transplants.
POLITICS
Iranian President says the re-count proves legitimacy
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday sought to put the turmoil over the disputed presidential elections behind him and declared on national television that the contests were clean, fair and marked the start of a new era.
His speech came as the country's top three reformist leaders sought to rekindle their opposition movement, demanding that ruling clerics end the heavy "security atmosphere"imposed after the elections and free those detained in the unrest, according to an opposition Web site.
It was Ahmadinejad's first national speech since the supreme leader declared the election results valid despite outcry from the other candidates and weeks of street protests claiming that the results were fraudulent.
"It was the most clean and free election in the world," he said, adding that during the re-count "no fault was discovered. The whole nation understood this."

Pitcher grateful for time at Kansas
Smyth preparing for career in the Major Leagues

Paul Smyth always wanted to be a soccer player. He played most of his life, relying on his feet for his athletic success. It wasn't until high school that he became a star.
that his arm also played a significant role in his life.
Smyth, senior right-handed pitcher from Atascadero, Calif., was the fourth member of the Kansas baseball team to be drafted to Major League Baseball this year. He was named First Team Academic
All-Big 12 for a second straight season, and totalled 147 career strikeouts while playing for the University. The Oakland Athletics drafted him and he currently plays for one of their minor league teams, the Vancouver
Canadians. He will finish his run with Vancouver in September, and depending on how well he plays, the Oakland Athletics will decide if he is ready for the majors in February.
"It really helps when you feel like the coaching staff is behind you."
Smyth said he knew he could never have had this success without Kansas baseball
PAUL SMYTH Senior pitcher
"Kansas gave me such a great opportunity," Smyth said. "The coaches gave me tons confidence with my 'rubber arm.' It really helps when you feel like the coaching staff is behind you."
His "rubber arm," he said, came from
being a soccer player for most of his life. Because he used his legs rather than his arms, his arms were easily trainable.
"I played soccer until my junior year of high school," Smyth said. "It
turns out it was a good thing. Some pitchers have been playing all their lives, making their arms less trainable. There are only so many bullets in your gun."
Smyth joined a summer baseball team at the end of his sophomore year of high school, playing a total of 106 games. He began his career as a catcher, and it was not until his coach mentioned pitching that he took it into consideration.
"It's one of those things where I have to thank my high school coach for everything." Smyth said. "I didn't like pitching, and he convinced me to do something that I am still doing today"

The event was a series of three bicycle races, including the Eldridge Hotel Street Sprints, the Downtown Criterium and the KU Campus Circuit Race.
"The only way you can make cycling work at the moment is you need
strong volunteers — a lot of them — and a selfless commitment to cycling." Bob Sanner, Tour event director, said.
Sanner and participants said they hoped to see the event return to Lawrence in future years.

For more than three years now, basketball players have been required to pretend to be students for at least a year at a university eager to cash in on their hype. Some of them helped take their team as far as the title game, where CBS also eagerly counted the

greenbacks earned by their success.
Xavier and C.J. Henry shouldn't have to pretend. If they're guilty of anything, it is momentarily appearing to retract a commitment they had previously made to attend Kansas.
But here is where it gets complicated. See, when we talk about commitments and honor and all these noble principles, we must also remember that the Henrys had to back out of a written commitment to come to Kansas in the first place. However, this came about when John Calipari - who had lured them to Memphis in the first place - bolted for Kentucky.

It was refreshing to see cooler heads prevail last week – or whatever happened when coach Bill Self and two assistants jetted down to Oklahoma City to meet with the
I'll be among the first to welcome the Henrys to Lawrence, but with great hope that their father's feathers won't be as easily ruffled as they were in those three mad days last week when a Kansas City Star article and message boards appeared to be a deal breaker.
I think we should all chill out, go fishing and soak in as many rays while they last.
After all, while Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich, the Henrys and the rest of the jayhawks are balling this winter, we'll be wishing it was 90 again and not the icy sub-zero Kansas winter temps.
Brady McCollough's Kansas City Star feature was an excellent, honest bit of reportage. Carl Henry is a driven, passionate father who speaks his mind. That's all. Many of us would kill to have our fathers go on the record singing our praises. Men and women work a lifetime to hear those words.
One more thing
Ultimately, no team in this One-And-Done Era has won a national championship. We in Lawrence are all too familiar with Carmelo Anthony and Syracuse, but the
difference is Melo chose to attend Syracuse when he could've jumped to the NBA.
Kansas could very well be the first One-And-Done Era champion if they cut down the nets in April and Xavier subsequently goes pro.
But so far, all of the last four national championship teams have been comprised of players who wanted to be there in the first place.

school, Smyth became good friends with two teammates who were interested in playing for Kansas baseball. He ended up testing his luck with the coaches.
"I was aware that I was not one of the top players," Smyth said. "Still, I was told by a coach for KU to pitch for him, and I did. I continued to pitch for him for the next three days."
On the last day of tryouts, Smyth was wearing his friend's Kansas baseball jersey. One of the coaches said he thought it looked good on him, and asked if he wanted to join the team.
"I was so excited. I already knew some of the people, and they were very open." Smyth said, "Then Coach Ryan Graves came out to California to make me an offer, and that paved the way for me to come to Kansas."
His career at the University has been more than successful. Coach Ritch Price praises Smyth for his contribution to the team.
"He is obviously a tremendous young man," Price said, "He chased his dream and will go down as one of the greatest pitchers in Kansas baseball. I honestly never thought he would contribute the way he did."
Senior catcher Buck Afenir said he admired Smyth for his integrity and for his improvement from where he started to where he is today as a pitcher.
"The thing I know about Paul is that he has an iron will," Afenir said. "He is a super-hard worker and is one of those people who are always conscientious about what is going on."
Afenir recalls the past few months when Smyth injured his arm after he separated his shoulder during a workout.
"I didn't know what would happen with the draft," Afenir said. "He has a pretty bad injury. But I do know that he put in great numbers at KU, and he made a name for himself."
Smyth has not allowed his injury to hold him back. He said he planned on playing out the summer season with the Vancouver Canadians until September, and then returning to work an internship at the University until February.
Smyth said he hoped to see himself working up to the major leagues if he continued to play well. However, he knows he wouldn't be where he is today without his coaches giving him the confidence and drive to play
baseball.
"I have to thank my high school coach for convincing me to pitch, and KU's coaches for giving me the confidence I needed to improve," Smyth said. "I put in four great years at KU, and am thankful for the opportunity given to play."

ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has quietly dropped his lawsuit against the social networking site Twitter Inc.

A one-paragraph statement filed June 26 with the U.S. District Court in San Francisco said La Russa had dropped all claims — and that San Francisco-based Twitter did not compensate him in exchange. It also said he could not refile the same complaint.

The Beverage
La Russa's lawsuit, originally filed in San Francisco Superior Court in May and transferred to federal court on June 5, alleged trademark infringement, "cyber-squatting" and misappropriation of his name. It claimed an unauthorized page that used his name caused emotional distress by making light of his DUI charge and the deaths of two Cardinals pitchers in recent seasons.
The impostor's Twitter account bearing La Russa's name is no longer active. The lawsuit included a screen shot of three tweets. One posted on April 19 said: "Lost 2 out of 3, but we made it out of Chicago without one drunk driving incident or dead pitcher."
In March 2007, La Russa was found sleeping behind the wheel of a running sport utility vehicle during spring training with a blood-alcohol level of 0.093 percent. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.
Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile died of a heart condition in his Chicago hotel room in 2002. Cardinals reliever Josh Hancock died in an auto accident in April 2007, and the medical examiner measured his blood-alcohol level at 0.157 — nearly twice the legal limit.
La Russa's lawsuit said the page bearing his name was hurtful to the 64-year-old manager, who has led the Cardinals since 1996 and managed the Chicago White Sox and Oakland A's during a 30-year managerial career.

Investigators reluctant to rule in NFL star's death
BY TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee's state medical examiner said Tuesday that investigators have been hesitant to conclude that Steve McNair's girlfriend killed the NFL star and herself because she didn't appear to have a motive, but that murder-suicide was the most likely scenario.
After the couple was discovered shot to death on Saturday, police were quick to label McNair's death a homicide. He had been shot twice in the head and twice in the chest, while 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi was dead from a single gunshot to the head. Under her body was a gun she had purchased less than two days before the killings.
Investigators were waiting on ballistics tests on the weapon before issuing a ruling on Kazemi's death, which medical examiner Bruce Levy said could come in the next few days. Kazemi's gun purchase, which was revealed on Monday, is a strong indication that she was responsible, he said.
"If we had known on Sunday about the gun I think we would have been very comfortable in ruling murder-suicide," he said. "I'll be very
surprised now if they rule it isn't."
Levy said an apparent lack of motive by Kazemi has made investigators careful about exploring every possibility, including the unlikely scenario that a third party could have staged the scene. Their relationship lacked typical indicators of trouble — such as concerned family members or police reports and protection orders.
"The thing we always hear is, "We should have seen this coming," he said.
But Kazemi's family has said she was very happy.
"She just had it made, you know, with this guy taking care of everything," Kazemi's nephew Farzin Abdi said on Monday.
Levy said the 36-year-old McNair was shot in each temple and twice in the chest. Three of the shots were taken from a distance, but one of the shots to the temple came from just inches away.
The gun that killed Kazemi was in contact with her head when it discharged, he said.
Police spokesman Don Aaron said Monday McNair wasn't with Kazemi when she bought the semiautomatic pistol that was found at the scene. Police have declined to release the
caliber of the gun or the name of the person who sold it to her.
Aaron said the case may not be as neatly resolved as people would like.
"It may be we'll never know exactly why this happened," he said.
Much of what's known publicly about the affair comes from what Kazemi told her family: She was preparing to move in with McNair and believed he was going to divorce his wife, though no court records of divorce proceedings have surfaced.
Then early Thursday, Kazemi was arrested for DUI while driving a Cadillac Escalade that was registered in both of their names. McNair was with her but wasn't charged, and police allowed him to leave the scene. He later bailed her out.
That night, Kazemi went alone to buy the handgun.
On Friday night and early Saturday morning, McNair was seen with friends in two Nashville bars. A witness said McNair arrived at a condominium he leased sometime between 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Kazemi's car was already there.
The couple had been dead for hours when McNair's friend Wayne Neeley, who leased the condo with him, found the bodies at around 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon.

Squad's victory puts Armstrong in close second
THE GAME OF RACE IS THE HONOUR TO BE A MEDIUM BLANKET CIRCLE, AND IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK. THE BEST WAY TO RACE IS BY HAVING BLAKES ON YOUR HEADS, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT SURE OF WHERE YOU STAND, THERE'S A SPECIAL RACE FOR YOU. THIS ONE IS FOR THE NEW YORKERS.

ASSOCIATED PRESENT Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland, wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey, leads his Team Saxo Bank to take a third place during the fourth stage of the Tour de France cycling race, a team time-trial over 39 kilometers (24.2 miles) with start and finish in Montpellier, southern France July 7.
BY JAMEY KEATEN
Associated Press
MONTPELLIER, France — Lance Armstrong surged within a second of the Tour de France lead after his Astana squad won Tuesday's team time trial in a dramatic finish.
Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara of the Saxo Bank team narrowly kept the yellow jersey lead following the fourth stage, a 24.2-mile ride in and around Montpellier.
Astana needed to beat Saxo Bank by more than 40 seconds for Armstrong to take the yellow jersey. The seven-time champion started the stage in third place, and Astana exactly matched that 40-second deficit. Cancellara's team finished third.
"That's Swiss timing; Cancellara said, laughing. "Time is on my side."
Armstrong credited his teammates but acknowledged he had hoped to move in front after the first team time trial on the Tour since 2005.
"This is a little bit of a disappointment," he said. "That's cycling."
The 37-year-old Texan said the many tight turns along the course made for "tricky" riding. Three crashes marred the start of the stage, including one involving Giro d'Italia winner Denis Menchov.
The U.S. team Garmin was second in the stage, 18 seconds after Astana, despite only five of the nine riders being able to keep up the pace.
The stage finished with a flair. At the last intermediate time check (19 miles), Astana was 41 seconds faster than Saxo Bank, putting Armstrong in the lead at that point and setting up the tense finale.
Armstrong and Cancellara share an overall time of 10 hours, 38 minutes, 7 seconds, although the Swiss rider was deemed a fraction ahead. Organizers examined Saturday's opening time trial in Monaco that was won by Cancellara. Those results were calculated to the thousandth of a second.
After Cancellara, the next four riders are from Astana: Armstrong; 2007 winner Alberto Contador of Spain is 19 seconds back in third; 2004 runner-up Andreas Kloeden of Germany is fourth, 23 seconds back; and Levi Leipheimer of the United States is fifth, 31 seconds behind.
Astana also dealt a serious blow to some top challengers: Defending champion Carlos Sastre of Spain is 2:44 back; two-time runner-up Cadel Evans of Australia is 2:59 behind; and Menchov of Russia trails by 3:52.
Menchov was trailing a Rabobank
teammate when he misjudged a left turn and skidded into the barriers early in the stage. He scraped and bruised his arm.
"It was a slippery road," said Menchov, also crashed in the final time trial of the Giro. "It's nothing serious."
Four riders on the BBox Bouygues Telecom team also crashed, as did Belgian rider Jurgen van den Broeck, a support rider to Evans on the Silence Lotto squad.
The teams set off one by one at seven-minute intervals in a race against the clock. The course through sunbaked streets of Montpellier, near the Mediterranean, is among the flattest this Tour.
Riders try to ride single file to cut down on wind drag and take turns in the lead to maximize efficiency and conserve energy. The first five riders record the same times while laggards get individual times. All teams had nine riders except Quick Step; one member of the Belgian squad quit the race after a crash in Stage 2.
Next up is Stage 5, a 122-mile ride along the Mediterranean from Le Cap d'Agde to Perpignan. The Tour ends July 26 in Paris.

Obama makes case for Chicago in 2016
BY STEPHEN WILSON Associated Press
LONDON — The four candidates for the 2016 Olympics took their campaign to Africa on Tuesday, with President Barack Obama renewing his support for Chicago's bid in a video message less than three months before the vote.
Representatives from Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo made key presentations to the general assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa in Abuja, Nigeria. It was the last chance for the cities to publicly showcase their bids before the final presentations and IOC vote in Copenhagen on Oct. 2.
"I see the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games as an opportunity for America to reach out and renew our bonds of friendship around the world — to welcome the world to our shores with open arms," Obama said in a two-minute message taped at the White House. "And I very much hope we will have that chance to extend that hand of Olympic friendship to all of you in Africa."
Obama's support is seen as crucial to Chicago's hopes of bringing the Summer Games to the United States for the first time since the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
"You can count on our government to work as a committed partner in Chicago's quest to host a great and historic games and strengthen the Olympic movement worldwide," he said.

1. Riots on the rise in China after recent class violence
BEIJING — Widening income gaps, corrupt local administrations and policies that seem to favor the well-connected few over the disadvantaged many are fueling spasms of violence that spring up in cities across China.
In the most recent case, more than 180 people died in ethnic violence that convulsed a Muslim area of western China last week. The spark for the unrest in Xinjiang was a brawl between majority Han Chinese and Muslim Uighur factory workers 1,800 miles away.
Weeks earlier, tens of thousands of people swarmed into the streets of a city in the country's heartland, overturning police cars and torching a hotel.

4. Evangelist's trial details accusations of sex abuse
TEXARKANA, Ark. — Evangelist Tony Alamo preyed on his loyal followers' young daughters, once taking a girl as young as 8 as his bride and repeatedly sexually assaulting her, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Clay Fowlkes told jurors that a 15-year-old girl who left the Alamo ministries in 2006 told the FBI that Alamo married her at age 8. The girl told agents Alamo exchanged wedding vows and rings with her and first sexually assaulted her before she turned 10, Fowlkes said.
The trigger for those riots, which left hundreds injured in Shishou, was the supposed suicide of a hotel chef.
2. Families wait to learn fate of protesters in Iran
Another similar call came in 1998, when Alamo married a 14-year-old girl, Fowlkes said. In 2002, Alamo, then 67, summoned three underage girls into his bedroom and shut the door, telling God wanted him to marry
CAIRO — Several dozen families camp outside Iran's daunting Evin prison, trying to learn the fate of loved ones who vanished in post-election turmoil.
A month into the government crackdown, the number of killed and arrested remains unknown, but human rights groups believe the death toll is far higher than the official figure of 20.
Many of at least 500 known to have been arrested have disappeared in prisons, held in secret locations and barred from contact with families.
Rights groups say perhaps
dozens of others have not been heard of since the protests and their relatives still cannot determine whether they are now locked in a cell or dead.
two of them, Fowlkes said. Alamo later sexually assaulted two of those girls he married, one 11, the other 14, the prosecutor said.
3. Security increases after civil unrest, police shooting
It was the first time the government has acknowledged that its security forces opened fire since the violence hit Urumqi on July 5. The government says at least 184 people have been reported killed, most of them Han Chinese, and another 1,680 wounded.
Don Ervin, who is leading Alamo's defense team, told jurors to focus on the facts in the case. He said all the girls' travel came as part of the ministry's efforts to give people "decent lives for themselves."
Judge Deborah Durden on Tuesday upheld last month's decision by the state Funeral Board to revoke the license of Cave Funeral Home and owner Michael Cave.
URUMQI, China — The capital of China's western Xinjiang region was tense amid tight security Tuesday. a day after police fatally shot two Uighur men and wounded a third more than a week after deadly ethnic rioting.
Cave admitted in an administrative court that his Allendale funeral home cut the legs off 6-foot-7 James Hines five years ago and did not tell his family.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina judge has ordered the closing of a funeral home where a worker cut the legs off a body so it would fit in a casket.
5. Funeral home shut down after corpse mutilation
Hines' widow said finding out what happened was like having her husband die a second time. A fired funeral home worker notified the family about a year ago.
6. Two still in hospital after bus crashes in Manhattan
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Two of the 18 people injured when a charter bus carrying Job Corps students was hit by a tractor-trailer remain hospitalized.
The bus was making a legal U-turn Monday afternoon west of Manhattan when it was hit from behind by the truck, police said.
The charter bus was carrying students from the Flint Hills Job Corps Center back to Manhattan after a trip to Kansas City.

City offers free rides on T for Thursday sidewalk sale
The city will be offering citizens a way to save money and avoid parking hassles for the annual sidewalk sale this Thursday by allowing residents to ride the T for free.
Robert Nugent, Transit Administrator, said this was a great opportunity to support the city by helping people get downtown for the big event. Nugent said the T would be running its "free fare day" for the sidewalk shoppers on all eight fixed routes from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Downtown Sidewalk Sale, which has been a Lawrence tradition for 38 years, offers shoppers a chance to purchase highly discounted items while allowing business owners to clear stockrooms for the fall and winter
seasons.
Jane Pennington, director of Downtown Lawrence Incorporated, said her organization was expecting 15,000 to 20,000 people to attend this year. She said the sale would begin about 7 a.m. and last until sunset.
Pennington said she recommended first-timers come early and drink plenty of cold water.

Commission approves fine fee increases downtown
Downtown fee and fine increases were approved at Tuesday's city commission meeting with the following amendments to the original plan. Meters along Massachusetts Street will remain two-hour meters instead of being reduced to oneand-a-half-hour meters and there will be no installation of 15-minute meters. The changes accepted by the commission include increasing parking fines to $3 and late fees to $12, doubling the cost of the meters along Massachusetts Street and extending meter patrol until 6 p.m. The date of these changes has yet to be determined. Dave Corliss, city manager, suggested the best time to implement the changes would be in August because it would be a good transitional period.

Explosives, suspected gunman found dead
BAYTOWN, Texas — At least 100 explosive devices were found in a southeast Texas mobile home where a deputy was shot and killed, a sheriff said Tuesday.
Deputies went to suspected gunman Gilbert Ortez Jr's home Monday after a meter reader sent to shut off the water service reported shots had been fired at her. They arrested Ortez's common-law wife, Pamela Leegett.
Ortez was at the mobile home when Leggett was arrested and shot Detwiler.
Detwiler's death set off a 91/2 hour standoff that ended when police and deputies entered the mobile home and found suspected gunman Ortez dead.

Weak job market boosts interest in Peace Corps
BY HANNAH DECLERK
hdeclerk@kansan.com
As jobs have become more scarce, the number of applicants for the Peace Corps has nearly doubled this year at the University and on a national level.
The Peace Corps is a government organization that sends volunteers abroad to work on projects such as education, agriculture and youth outreach. Elizabeth Durkin, adviser with the Peace Corps office at the University Career Center, said the economic downturn was mostly responsible for the increase in applications. The number of applicants received so far at the University has increased from 25 last year to 40 this year, and nationally there has been a 40 percent increase, Durkin said.
"When the obvious answer is not in front of you, you tend to think outside the box," Durkin said. "The Peace Corps is an alternative program that has an overall positive experience."
Katelynn Poore, Topeka sophomore, said she planned on applying to the Peace Corps next year. She said she had been interested in different cultures since she was 12, and said she wanted to be able to teach overseas.
"I want to be able to teach and have good field work experience," Poore said. "When I get out, I know it will open doors in other fields and give me an advantage in the work field."
Durkin said the process to get into the Peace Corps was extensive, and could take up to a year depending on how long the health check took.
"One issue that people are running into is that they have to wait a year," Durkin said. "While waiting to be accepted, the candidates are, for the most part, on their own."
Poore said that she was aware of the long application process and that she would apply to the Peace Corps her junior year, so she could be ready to go right after graduation.
Kyle Carter, 2009 graduate, applied to the Peace Corps in early May and is waiting to hear whether he has been accepted. He said he would probably not leave until next spring, and in the mean time is working fulltime at Garmin International Inc., a navigation equipment company in Olathe.
"It's hard finding viable jobs right now; businesses are most likely to cut than hire," Carter said. "The Peace Corps will give me great opportunities, but it's like 'Congrats, you're nominated, but you still have to wait to be shipped off.'"
APPLYING TO SERVE IN THE PEACE CORPS
Alexandria Clark, 2009 graduate, is in the process of filling out her application. The economy is a part of why she is joining the Peace Corps, along with her desire to study abroad.
"I am really looking into the Peace Corps because I want to make an impact, plus nobody is hiring right now," Clark said. "The only downfall is I have to wait so long."
Clark said she planned to work on a dairy farm outside of Lawrence and live with her parents during the waiting process.
The Peace Corps application process can take anywhere from a few months to more than a year. The application can be found on the organization's Web site, www. peace corps.gov.
Dylan Porter, Iola senior, is in the process of applying to the Peace Corps
The application is sent to the Peace Corps Regional Recruiting Office that represents the state where the applicant lives. A recruiter conducts an interview either in person or on the phone,
to determine whether he or she is a good fit for Peace Corps. If the recruiter deems the applicant a good fit, the recruiter nominates the applicant for a Peace Corps country and program.
Once Peace Corps in Washington, D.C. is notified of the nomination, it sends the prospective volunteer a medical kit, which must be filled out by the applicant's physician and dentist. They also conduct a legal check.

Once the applicant accepts an invitation, Peace Corps sends information about departure to the developing country.

and is working on his health check. He said he didn't think the economy was responsible for the increased number of applicants. Rather, he said, there was an increased awareness of other countries in need.
Porter said he had experience working with other countries such as Uganda, where he helped set up an orphanage for underprivileged children. Porter said that he would be working in Eastern Europe for the Peace Corps and that he planned on finishing his teaching degree while there.
"I have always wanted to teach abroad and this is a definite opportunity for me," Porter said. "I have had the opportunity to help out struggling countries, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and knew that I needed to return to a place in need of assistance."
Durkin said both the awareness of other countries and the economic benefits helped increase the appeal of the Peace Corps. While abroad, the organization pays for transportation and provides a stipend for living expenses. Health care costs are taken care of as well, and there are paid vacation times when the volunteers are allowed to go back to the U.S. to visit family and friends. Also, volunteers can leave the program and go back home while abroad if they are unhappy.
If a volunteer completes the 27 months abroad, the Peace Corps will provide $6,000 to help with job-search expenses back in the U.S.
"The Peace Corps has a lot of benefits," Durkin said. "However, there is a lot of competition right now. The application process is taking longer because of the increase in applications. We are happy about the increase, but there is only a certain amount of places to send people."

Watkins officials say Gardasil is safe for students
BY DEREK ZARDA dzarda@kansan.com
The maker of the cervical cancer vaccine known as Gardasil was ordered by the Food and Drug Administration last month to issue stronger warnings on its label concerning fainting to prevent head injury.
According to the Center for Disease Control's Web site, Gardasil has had more than 24 million doses distributed in the U.S. since its approval in June 2006. News reports and watchdog groups raised questions about the safety of the vaccine, including reports of paralysis, miscarriages and death in the past two years. Though worries about the vaccine's side effects continue, officials at Watkins Memorial Health Center see no danger in the vaccine and continue to offer Gardasil to students.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said the controversy surrounding the vaccine was all coming from outside the medical community.
"In the medical world, there is no controversy," Denning said.
The vaccine, produced by the pharmaceutical company Merck & Co.,Inc., is designed to protect women against the human papillomavirus, known as HPV, which is a leading cause of cervical cancer.
Studies conducted by the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System show 13,758 reports of "adverse side effects", with 93 percent of those reports considered to be non-serious. According to the CDC Web site, the non-serious side effects include headache, nausea and fever, while serious side effects include blood
clots, Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a rare disorder that can cause paralysis, and possible death.
APRIL RAND Missouri Valley, Iowa graduate student
"I don't think many people know how common HPV is these days."
VAERS report listed 39 deaths related to Gardasil as of May 1.
Mai Hester, coordinator at Watkins, said that with any type of vaccine there were going to be side effects. Hester said the Gardasil vaccine was actually safer than the flu vaccine because it did not involve use a live
strain of the disease.
April Rand, Missouri Valley, Iowa graduate student, said she started receiving the vaccine in 2007 at Watkins. The vaccine requires three separate shots spaced months apart. She said she found out about Gardasil from the news coverage it had received. She finished the treatment in February 2008.
Rand, 23, said her concern was taking the vaccine before it was too late for her because the vaccine is only available for those age 9-26. For Rand, this concern outweighed the possibility of side effects and her fear of needles.
Rand said she thought the vaccine was incredibly important because it protected against the most common strand of HPV that causes cervical cancer.
"I don't think many people know how common HPV is these days," Rand said.
Hester said the University was one of the original testing sites for Gardasil in 1999. She said Henry Buck, former gynecologist at Watkins and member of the American College Health Association, was able to persuade the ACHA's task force to select the University as a site for testing.
Denning said Merck & Co., Inc. was currently doing research to test a vaccine that works for men and to
extend the age limit for the women's vaccine. She said that because HPV was passed to both partners, it wouldn't make sense to vaccinate only half of the partnership to stop it from spreading.
"Treat one partner but not the other, it comes right back," Denning said.
Hester said Watkins informed students about the vaccine during new student orientation. She said during these first few years since the drug's approval, she had seen a steady stream of students coming in for the vaccine.
Amanda Horner, 2008 alumnus, said she wasn't interested in taking Gardasil because of the cost and that she felt safe with her boyfriend. Horner said that because she knew her boyfriend of six years didn't have HPV, she didn't feel the need to get the vaccine.

LAWRENCE
Historic house now open to public for guided tours
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
A historic landmark in east Lawrence is now open to the public from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays through September 21.
The Murphy-Bromelsick House, located at the corner of 10th and Delaware Streets in Hobbs Memorial Park, was built in the 1860s after the infamous raid by William Quantrill. John Speer, one of the little-known founders of Lawrence, constructed the house between 1866 and 1869.
Mark Kaplan, Lawrence preservation activist, said John Speer was the first newspaper publisher in Kansas in the 1860s and a radical abolitionist. He said Speer was one of the first advocates for having a university built in Lawrence. However, Kaplan said Speer's influence in Lawrence and Kansas history had gone almost
totally unnoticed.
"Speer was way,way ahead of his time," Kaplan said. "He's like a giant in Kansas history, but nobody knows about him."
John Speer's great-great-grandson, Marty Speer, shows the Murphy-Bromelsick house to anyone interested in the history of Lawrence and the historic events in Kansas that led to the Civil War. Inside the old brick house, Marty Speer has a collection of black and white photos of his great-great-grandfather and other Lawrence founders as well as maps, documents and other pieces of Lawrence history.
"I'm here to carry on John Speer's legacy," Marty Speer said. "There is an extreme amount of history here that is untapped."
What he most proudly displays is the giant re-creation of an original document he keeps at home, called

'Karate Kid' remake to star Chan, Smith
BY MIN LEE
Associated Press
BEIJING — Jackie Chan will play the wise kung-fu master in a Hollywood-Chinese remake of the 1984 hit "The Karate Kid" that kicked off filming in the Chinese capital Saturday, a movie company publicist said Monday.
Chan's young disciple in "Kung Fu Kid" will be played by Jaden Smith, the son of Hollywood superstars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, China Film Group spokesman Weng Li told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
The film is a co-production between the state-run China Film Group and Columbia Pictures, Weng said.
"Kung Fu Kid" is being directed by Harald Zwart, who also directed "One Night at McCool's" and "The Pink Panther 2," Solon So, the chief executive of Chan's company, JC Group, told
the AP.
Chan and Smith, along with Smith's parents and sister Willow, attended a traditional Chinese ceremony to mark the start of the shoot Saturday. Photos on China Film Group's movie news Web site show the Smith family and Chan holding incense sticks.
Will Smith — one of the film's producers — Chan, Zwart and others symbolically removed a piece of red cloth covering a movie camera, after which Smith gave Chan a hug, according to video posted on Chinese news Web site Sina.com. His hair done in a huge Afro and wearing a bright red track jacket and blue pants, Jaden Smith stood and waved when he was introduced. His father ruffled his hair when he sat down.
Chan said on his Web site he also attended the younger Smith's 11th birthday party last Wednesday, where he and Will Smith posed for pictures with
Ken Stovitz, one of Will Smith's partners in the production company Overbrook Entertainment, said at the ceremony Saturday that "Kung Fu Kid" will be set in modern-day Beijing. China Film Group chairman Han Sanping said shooting would last three months.
young performers wearing red and yellow costumes with dragon patterns.
Chan juggles careers in Hollywood and Chinese-language film. The veteran 55-year-old Hong Kong action star will be seen in the upcoming Hollywood action comedy "The Spy Next Door," about an undercover Chinese spy whose cover is blown, and the Chinese production, "Big Soldier," about the friendship between two soldiers set in China's ancient Qin dynasty.
Jaden Smith costarred with his father in the 2006 movie "The Pursuit of Happiness."

Movie: Bruno
It was shocking. It was awkward.
It was Bruno.
In Bruno, a gay Austrian fashionista sets out in search of fame in the U.S. after the fashion industry gives him the cold shoulder.The movie follows his adventures around the world on his rise to stardom.
Sacha Baron Cohen's satirical savvy strikes again and he didn't leave anyone out. Rednecks, religious fundamentalists, fashion models, Ron Paul and anyone in between didn't stand a chance.
One of my favorite parts of the movie was watching Paula Abdul use a Mexican laborer as a bench while talking about her passion for humanitarianism. And that was just the beginning.

Borat was so 2006
july 10
There were scenes where I laughed so hard I almost threw up and there were scenes so awkward that I squirmed in my seat. I'd say that's a well-spent $8. Overall, I think everyone in the theater agreed. They laughed the entire way through the movie with the occasional, "That's just wrong." And that's just Bruno.
Something I liked more about
Bruno than Borat was that it had a more cohesive storyline. It still bounced around from escapade to escapade, but it had more direction and kept you focused.
I definitely recommend seeing Bruno. However, if you're easily offended or don't want to see a dancing penis, this might not be the movie for you.

Artist: Joe Purdy
Don't let Joe Purdy's scruffy look fool you — his voice is soft and delicate. An Arkansas native, Purdy first made his mark in 2004 with "Wash Away" in the series "Lost." But most would remember him from the Kia Spectra gas station commercial, in which "Can't Get it Right Today" is playing while frustrated commuters have a hard time filling up. Purdy's beautiful voice goes beyond these two songs though. My favorite album of his is "Paris
In the Morning,"which features a mixture of guitar and piano. The majority of the songs on the album focus on heartbreak and new beginning, and the lyrics in "Make It Up,"and"The Sun" leave me speechless. I highly recommend this album to anyone looking to find a connection with a love song. Purdy's voice and lyrics provide a calming and hopeful feel anyone can benefit from.

Book: Cows are Freaky When They Look at You: An Oral History of the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers edited by David Ohle, Roger Martin and Susan Brosseau
Though first published more than a decade ago, this rare nut-gut should be required reading for all inhabitants of Lawrence. The book is made up of mostly random vignettes by hippies who lived in Lawrence and throughout Kansas in the '60s and '70s. Although a foreword by William S. Burroughs weaves a loose connection between the stories through a description of the marijuana harvesters of Lawrence and the surrounding areas, the stories themselves are mostly stream of consciousness memories. Lawrence landmarks such as Massachusetts Street and the Gaslight Tavern play prominent roles throughout the tales, as do places that have since faded into history. Not all the stories recount drug-hazed memories. Many defy the stereotypical picture of the '60s we've been raised on. Some are deeply personal confessions by those who were caught up in the "free love" and hard partying, but longed for monogamy and the domestic life. Then there are the paranolia-tinged drug deal stories that range from knee-slapping
hilarious to downright terrifying. Whatever tale is being told, the essays capture a fascinating time in the nation's history through the unique lens of Lawrence folk playing out their versions of the hippy scene. Though the essays are credited to aliases (ex: Buzzy Flashback) part of the enjoyment of the read comes from scanning the faces of old townies downtown and wondering: Is this their story?

Book: Shop Class As Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work by Matthew B. Crawford
Next time you wash your hands in a public restroom, remember this book.
Is the faucet where you wash your hands a newfangled, infrared hand-sensing faucet that, as author Matthew B. Crawford writes, "offends the spirited personality" by putting your hands at the mercy of the sensor? Or is it a faucet of an earlier time, where the water ran normally, and people were trusted to turn the lever off after they finished using it?
Crawford's book strings together these examples, along with a detailed look at his experience as a writer of academic journal abstracts and a member of a Washington think tank — two jobs he found to be intelligence depriving and unfulfilling. He also looks at his time as an electrician and a motorcycle mechanic — jobs he finds provide more intellectual stimulation and a better sense of community — and how these are being neglected in the rise of the "knowledge workers."
Yes, Crawford does make these points by writing them down and having his published work in bookstores. Yes, he does share shelf space with self-help books, management manuals and other tools that attempt to make the process of something more important than the product. But his assessment of college and office culture and what middle management has done works to strike an internal chord. Crawford will strike a chord to anytime you've felt intellectually bored in work that you once thought was intellectually stimulating, and provides context to recent phenomena such as backyard vegetable gardens (it's not just because everyone wants cheap vegetables). It's a brilliant assessment of what joy a motorcycle repairman job gives Crawford, who also holds a Ph.D. in political philosophy.
SHOP CLASS
AS SOULCRAFT
AN INQUIRY INTO THE VALUE OF WORK
MATTHEW B. CRAWFORD
Crawford doesn't advocate the end of commerce. Rather, he argues that jobs such as motorcycle repair and plumbing aren't dumb-peopleblue-collar jobs. He argues for the return of shop class in high schools, which he says is often the first to go in schools that demand 100 percent college prep.
I recommend this book, which will most likely sprout a self-assessment like it did for me. Oh, and demand manual faucets and paper towels in public restrooms. You deserve some mental stimulation.

Students should wait for cheap rent
Students are paying more for everything. Groceries cost more. Tuition just increased. Gas prices are unpredictable.
The deteriorating economy seems to be affecting almost every business in every industry. Yet, massive apartment complexes are still being built throughout Lawrence.
The Exchange, 2034 W.31st St., will soon open offering 300 apartments targeted at students. And The Grove plans to offer another 300 new apartments. Both complexes will open in August, with the potential to house hundreds more students.
And, it's not as if these new complexes are replacing older units or

KANSAN'S OPINION
seen.
The Grove and The Exchange are already offering move in specials and promotions. Cheaper rent, lower (or
no) fees and even incentives in the form of gifts are being offered by Lawrence leasing agents.
For every day that gets closer to Aug. 20, leasing agents become more and more desperate to fill empty apartments. So students who haven't signed a lease yet might
want to wait it out. And those brave enough to wait to sign until the first week of classes may cash in on some great deals.
It goes without saying that the student housing market in Lawrence will always be strong. As long as the University is around, students will need a pad to call their own. But every new complex that pops up could mean a few extra bucks knocked off each student's rent.
In a time when everything seems to be getting harder, the Lawrence housing market might have just become a little softer for many KU students.

NOTES FROM ABROAD
Rebel attacks an exception in peaceful Ireland
Yesterday, Irish Catholic radicals orchestrated the most violent attacks across Northern Ireland in the past five years during the annual Orange parade.
Approximately 23 police officers
injured, numerous vehicles were hijacked, burned and pushed towards officers, and shots were fired at police. Rioters, approximately 200 of them youths, threw gas bombs, bricks, bottles and other missiles at the police. In turn, the police fired plastic bullets and a water cannon to disperse the crowd.
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
The Real Irish Republican Army, a splinter guerrilla group of the IRA, is believed to be responsible for yesterday's attacks, but the group claimed to be uninvolved.
I first heard about the RIRA in Derry, or Londonderry, or Freedrie. Just a few years ago, the
name you called the city depended on your political or religious views (Londonderry for Protestant British loyalists, and Derry or Freederry for Irish Catholic nationalists). The city, made famous by U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday," was one of the most violent cities in Ireland from the late 1960s until 1998, a time known as "The Troubles."
The marches of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association borrowed the peace' civil disobedience strategies of Martin Luther
King and the NICRA sought an end to a long list of institutionalized discrimination against Catholics. From the beginning, the marches were met by violence from Protestants and the British police did little to stop it. Then, on January 30, 1972, now referred to as Bloody Sunday, the First Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment shot 27 NICRA marchers in Derry. The event killed 14 people, seven of them teenagers. Witnesses, including bystanders and journalists, claimed that everyone shot was unarmed.
Recruitment numbers for the Provisional Irish Army went way up after that day, and the rest, as they say, is history.
But today, maybe everyone can learn from Ireland's mistakes. Many Northern Irish Catholics saw Britain in the same light that some in Palestine view Israel, as aggressive invaders stealing land.
More and more people,including politicians and activists from Israel, Palestine, Sri Lanka and Iraq, are looking to the Northern Ireland agreement of 1998 as a model of conflict resolution.
Yes, Ireland is disturbed by yesterday's events. Yes, yesterday is proof that achieving peace is a long and sometimes tragic journey.
But all of Ireland considers yesterday's violence the desperate acts of radicals, not a campaign for a political or religious cause. Although nothing is certain in this world, I think yesterday, if anything, shows that peace can be possible with compromise, forgiveness and understanding. And maybe, if Ireland can prove this, there's hope for the rest of the world, too.

PRINCE OF MARY'S HOME STATE
WEST INDIA
HISTORICAL SITE
20TH CENTURY
The Murphy-Bromelsick House, located at 10th and Delaware Streets, holds many important documents related to Civil War era history of Lawrence. The architecture is an example of the type of place where middle-class Americans lived a century and a half ago.
"Speer's Defy." The document is a one-page list of sentences and phrases printed by John Speer to strengthen Lawrence residents' resolve to keep Kansas a free state during the border wars with Missouri. Marty Speer said he had had the document since the '60s, but had no idea where it originated or what its historical value was. Now, with the Murphy-Bromelsick house as a focal point, Marty Speer wants to do what he can to educate anyone interested in Lawrence history about the influence John Speer had on the city and the history behind the house.
Chance Dibben/KANSAN
Jonathan Earle, associate professor of history, said the Murphy-Bromelsick house was a pristine and unusual example of "vernacular architecture"
He said it was the type of place where middle-class Americans actually lived and worked a century and a half ago. Most structures that have been preserved until now were owned by rich people who could afford to build grand houses and pass them down to their children, Earle said.
Earle said John Speer wanted Lawrence to be home to a university, and not some other facility such as
the jail in Leavenworth, or the state capital in Topeka.
"Like many anti-slavery partisans in Lawrence, he saw the future of the territory and the town as one with educational opportunities," Earle said. "It was not an obvious choice."
Kaplan said John Speer helped A.D. Searle survey the land where the University now stands. He said John Speer was obsessed with rebuilding the town after two of his sons were killed in Quantrill's raid. The University became part of his vision of a rebuilt Lawrence.
"He was pretty much a founding father of Lawrence," Marty Speer said.
Touring the Murphy-Bromelsick house is free and open to the public.

EASTERN HOSTEL
Economic times might have a tight grip on students this summer, but that doesn't mean there aren't fun and affordable things to do in Lawrence. There are opportunities all over town that allow students to take advantage of Lawrence's diverse culture and activities.
Clinton Lake is home to a variety of campsites and beaches, and the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center gives students a chance to rent equipment in order to spend a weekend out at the lake. Massachusetts Street and the downtown area offer a fun night on the town or a day-trip perusing the art galleries and cafes. From frisbee golf to ceramic painting, students should have no trouble finding something fun and cheap to do this summer.
Here are some of the top things you can do this summer if you're bored and broke.
1 Camping $$$$
The recreation center is home to Outdoor Pursuits, a program that offers equipment rental for camping, canoeing and hiking, and is open Monday through Thursday 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Students enrolled in a summer course or who have paid access ($4 per week) to the recreation center this summer can take advantage of renting equipment for a fun weekend at Clinton Lake. The State Park offers a variety of campsites and hiking trails. Campsites called Hickory and Walnut are located in Bloomington East Park on the west side of the lake. They are close to a swimming beach and have several services and amenities available, such as grills and showers. Woodridge Park, which is located past Bloomington, is a popular campsite students go to. To reserve a camper visit www.
To reserve a campsite, visit www.reserveusa.com. To view a price sheet on rental equipment at Outdoor Pursuits, visit www.recreation.ku.edu.
2 Beaches $$$
Instead of taking a weekend trip to Clinton Lake, make it just a day trip by visiting the beach at Bloomington East Park located on the west side of the lake. This beach offers picnic shelters, volleyball courts and showers to rinse off. The swimming area is marked off by a long, yellow buoy line. Stop by Wal-Mart at 6th and Wakarusa Streets on the way out of town and pick up a $6 floaty to relax in on the lake. Don't forget your sunscreen!

Palin returns to work after resignation announcement
KOTZEBUE, Alaska — Sarah Palin has returned to work as Alaska governor following the abrupt announcement that she's resigning.
Palin appeared at a bill-signing
ceremony in the remote western Alaska coastal community of Kotzebue (KAHT'-seh-byoo). She said afterward that she was absolutely sure Alaska would be better off with Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell at the head of Alaska government.
She says it would have been less productive to continue as a
lame duck governor subject to the continuing ethics complaints filed since she was picked as the GOP vice presidential nominee last year.
Palin was in Kotzebue to sign a bill aimed at improving management of public safety officers in rural communities.

Madoff behind bars for Ponzi scheme
Associated Press
BY MARTHA WAGGONER
BUTNER, N.C. — Bernard Madoff's life of luxury is a thing of the past.
The disgraced financier blamed for what is believed to be the largest Ponzi scheme in history arrived Tuesday at a federal prison in North Carolina to begin a 150-year sentence.
Madoff arrived somewhat under cover at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex about 45 miles northwest of Raleigh.
A prison official said he would be treated like any other inmate. There’s no Internet access, televisions in common rooms only, and limited recreation time.
“I wouldn’t describe any of the facilities here as a nice place,” Butner spokesman Greg Norton said.
Authorities said Madoff had carried out the fraud for at least two decades before confessing to his sons in December that his investment business was a fraud and that he had lost as much as $50 billion.
A consultant who advises convicts on what to expect behind bars said it would be hard for officials to treat Madoff like other inmates.

Campus employees serve up food drive
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
The first annual Summer Food Drive in Lawrence, hosted by the University's Unclassified and University Support Staff Senates, begins today and will continue until Friday. The drive was started by Thelma Simons, information technology coordinator.
WHERE TO DONATE
"I had been collecting food at my office until now." Simons said. "When food banks get low on food, they contact me. We're very excited about doing this."
Ballard Center: non-perishable canned goods, meats and vegetables
Anschutz Library, Burge Union, Computer Center Facilities Operations Warehouse, Kansas Union, KU Endowment, Parking Department, Strong Hall rotunda Student Recreation Fitness Center and Watson Library.
The drive will benefit Just Food, a local organization that distributes donations to community food banks. Just Food is a part of ECKAN, a partnership of local food pantries.
- ECKAN: kids' foods, SpaghettiO's, raviolis, soups, peanut butter, crackers and fruit
- Salvation Army: canned meat, cereal, baby food, formula, diapers and toilet paper.
The goal of the Summer Food Drive is to help food banks and pantries accommodate the growing need for food during the summer months, Simons said.
CURRENT NEEDS AT LOCAL FOOD BANKS
- Trinity Interfaith Food Pantry: laundry detergent, pancake mix, spaghetti sauce, diapers and powdered milk
She said that when school children were home for the summer and no longer getting lunches at school, some families needed more food than they did the rest of the year. The economy has also increased the
need for help, Simons said.
"It's a very challenging time for many people." Ann Weick, Just Food volunteer, said. "Drives like this are important ways to gather food."
Michael Krings, public relations communications chair for the Unclassified Senate, said that when people were out of town over the summer, fewer donations were usually made.
Source: Thelma Simons
Though the food drive is hosted by the Unclassified and University Support Staff Senates, the Senates hope students around campus will also bring donations, Krings said. Boxes will be set up at 10 locations across campus including Anschutz Library and the Kansas Union.
"For just a few cents you get a can of vegetables and it can really help someone out, help feed their kids," Krings said. "I think it's a great idea as a service to the community."
Weick was dean of social welfare until she retired in 2006, and now she volunteers with Just Food. She said Just Food was working in a partnership with the Salvation Army, Trinity Interfaith Food Pantry, ECKAN and Ballard Community Center to find ways to get food in the pantries. All of the collected food is shared by the partners, Weick. By working together, the Lawrence food pan-
tries are more successful in getting food, she said.
Weick said past food drives with the University had been a "prominent resource" in collecting food for pantries. She said the Unclassified and University Support Staff Senates were filling in for the majority of students who were not on campus during the summer to donate.
"Just Food has been amazed at how generous people are in this city of Lawrence," Weick said. "We've been very fortunate."

Budget cuts decrease GTAs, increase class sizes
BY JUSTIN HILLEY
jhilley@kansan.com
William Price said he felt "lucky" to be a graduate teaching assistant in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Price, Stillwater, Okla., doctoral student, was a graduate student in Oklahoma State University's geography program last year. He was in the physical geography basement at OSU when he received an e-mail from a graduate advisor in the University's geography program. It notified him that he had not only been accepted to its doctoral program, but had been offered a GTA position for the fall of 2008. It was one of four programs he had applied to.
As a GTA, his tuition would be

"I called my mom at the house and I called my dad at work just to say I had got in and I got a GTA position. I was very, very happy". Price said.
Price said that it was an "easy choice" to come to the University after he received the GTA offer, and that if he had not received it, he would have had to take closer look at the other schools.
enough income to afford housing and food.
Because of increasing tuition, many students' decisions to attend graduate school rests solely on whether they can obtain a GTA position. It is a role that allows students to pursue graduate studies without the pressure of paying tuition. It also provides
The University announced July 8 that because of a $32.3 million, or 12 percent, loss in state funding, there will be 121 fewer positions on the Lawrence campus this fall. There will be 55 fewer faculty members and a reduction in the number of GTAs. The college alone will have 25 fewer GTAs and will offer about 75 fewer class sections.
"My first reaction is shock," Price said. "That seems to be hurting everything across the board."
The reduction in GTAs next year could affect class dynamics, the chance of GTA positions being renewed and the health of the University's research mission.

According to a University press release, as a result of the loss of GTAs, some students might have difficulty enrolling in specific classes needed to meet degree requirements. This could increase the amount time it takes some students to graduate and reduce retention. The press release stated another "negative effect" of the dwindling GTA numbers would be larger class sizes.

"In particularly desperate situations, we might be able to hire lecturers to help with the teaching of a course here and there, but that's only a partial solution and a very temporary one," Simpson said. "It does nothing to enhance the strength of our graduate programs. There's no getting around that these losses will be painful."
Price will be a graduate research assistant this fall, which comes with
"I never realized this when I was an undergrad, but I do think you learn a lot more from discussion-type courses where you ask the students questions and they ask you questions, and you can actually get a discussion going amongst the students. But when you have a really big class size, you can't do that." Price said.

Suspect was in and out of jail during string of rapes
JACKSON, Miss. — Police said a man accused of using a stun gun in rapes in Mississippi and Louisiana was briefly jailed but released during a week-long crime spree.
Authorities said James H. Crockett of Chalmette, La., was jailed on a drug charge in Alabama after the first two attacks but before a third attempted rape.
A profile from that arrest was sent to officers across the Southeast. Crockett was captured again near Huntsville, Ala., after a multistate manhunt and a car chase.

City switches gears to add bike lanes
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
The city is adding bike lanes along Ninth Street where construction is taking place this week. The city commission decided July 7 to add a bike lane on the north side of Ninth Street for three blocks between Tennessee and Indiana streets, and on the south side for two blocks between Ohio and Indiana streets.
The benefits of the bike lanes go beyond safety for bicyclists on the street, Struckkhoff said. They also lead to fewer cars creating traffic and more open parking spaces for motorists because more people will feel safe riding their bikes instead of driving, he said. Bike lanes also result in less pollution from car engines and less damage to roads, leading to less construction, Struckkhoff said.
Eric Struckhoff, a member of the Lawrence Bicycle Advisory Committee, said the bike lanes on Ninth Street would be an important link between downtown and campus, West campus and other areas of Lawrence.
"It benefits everyone." Struckhoff said.
"Lawrence is very auto-centric. The only progress made is when people push and push and push," Almon said.
David Neidinger, vice-president of the KU Cycling Club, said the bike lanes would make students feel safer riding their bikes between campus and downtown.
Michael Almon, local bicycle advocate, said Ninth Street had the highest accident rate between bicycles and automobiles. He said the city had taken a long time to make progress in adding bike lanes to streets where there was heavy bike traffic.
"Ninth Street is one of the easiest ways downtown". Neidinger, Saint Joseph, Mo. junior, said. "It would definitely be beneficial to have bike lanes there. That would be awesome."
The city engineers found it difficult to make room for bike lanes because streets in the center of Lawrence were too narrow or had parking on each side, Almon said.
"It's an uphill battle" Almon said. "But it's got to happen."
He said the addition of bike lanes to the repaved portion of Ninth Street gave bicyclists some relief from the car traffic.
Shoeb Uddin, city engineer, said the new bike lanes would take the place of 10 parking spots on the south side of the street and four spots on the north side.
"Lawrence, as a community, favors bikes and multi-mobility," Uddin said.
Mark Desetti, a member of the Lawrence Bicycle Advisory Committee, said the city commission adopted a plan to add bike lanes to streets throughout Lawrence as the streets were repaved.
"I think the city is going forward with its commitment to make our streets safer for bikers," Desetti said. "Even at three blocks at a time, we're doing it."
Desetti said adding bike lanes to the small section of the street was a step towards greater "east-west connectivity," which was a problem in Lawrence transportation.
"It's only three blocks, but we like to think in terms of connectivity," Struckhoff said. "So, although there's no connectivity yet, there's an indication here of connectivity."
Struckhoff said there was no longer room downtown for more parking spaces, so the city was trying to fit bike lanes to give people greater access to the area. He said the city engineers struggled to find room for bike lanes and sometimes resorted to making narrowed car lanes in repaved streets.
"You have to be creative sometimes." Struckhoff said.

GTA (CONTINUED FROM 22)
ANNUAL RENEWALS
The number of GTA positions available depends on the size of a department's GTA budget. Positions are up for renewal each year, so a graduate student who was a GTA last year may not be able to afford tuition in the upcoming year if not reappointed.
Adrane Jewett, Longview, Texas graduate student, earned her bachelor's degree in 2005. After working in marketing and design for a software company, she decided to go back to school. She said one of her stipulations for returning to school was to not take out any loans because of the debt she still had from her undergraduate education. After Jewett was accepted to the University, she was offered a GTA position to keep her here.
Jewett said that if she had lost her GTA position, she would have had to leave the University.
"I probably would have gone back to work and either tried to save up money to come back later or reapply at some point and see if I could have gotten it back when the budget crisis wasn't as bad," Jewett said.
Lindsey Ott, Mulvane graduate student, said that her GTA position was guaranteed the first year, but that afterward she would have to find her own funding. She was able to obtain a position as a GRA in the fall.
Ott said that if her tuition was not waived, it would not be possible for her to attend graduate school because of the debt she still had from her days as an undergraduate.
"Having to pay for grad school, too, just makes it more of a burden," Ott said.
Simpson said incoming graduate students in the college who had their positions promised to them would retain their positions. At the time departments were accepting students, they knew they had fewer funds and adjusted their initial assignments accordingly.
UNIVERSAL MISSION
Mary Huntimer, Watertown, S.D. doctoral student, is a GTA in the School of Music.
Huntimer said that being a GTA exposed her to a variety of students with different learning styles, which forced her to be creative when she taught. She said she wanted to teach saxophone at the collegiate level after she earned her doctoral of musical arts degree, and that it would be "almost impossible" to find a teaching position at that level without being a GTA.
"The School of Music would not run if it wasn't for the GTAs," Huntimer said.
University's band program.
GTAs perform several functions in the school, including providing individual music lessons to undergraduates and helping direct the
Simpson said graduate education was the backbone of the research mission of a university, and that graduate students were intimately involved in the generation of new knowledge that characterized a research university.
"Most of the funding for these students comes from GTA positions. Without GTAs, there is no graduate program, and the University would suffer irreparably," Simpson said.
Huntimer said the GTA cuts were simply a sign of the times.
Price said that he was not sure whether any positions were cut in the department of geography, but that as an undergraduate he had a lot of outstanding GTAs. He said although many GTAs, including himself, could not match the depth of a professor's experience, he had had professors who viewed teaching as an "annoyance" and who would rather be in a lab doing research.
"A lot of the times the GTAs were the better ones," Price said. "They know their subjects. They still have a lot of enthusiasm and passion of what they're doing, whereas sometimes some of the professors who have been teaching a course for 20 years are just going through the motions."
Ott said she also felt "lucky" to have her position.
"I just really like helping students and making it so that they can understand the subjects that I struggled with as an undergrad, and so I can be there to help them out," Ott said.

Specter continued to raise money after party switch
WASHINGTON — During the fundraising quarter in which Sen. Arlen Specter switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party, he raised about $1.7 million, his campaign said Tuesday.
In comparison, his likely 2010 Democratic primary challenger, Rep. Joe Sestak from suburban Philadelphia, raised more than $1 million during the same period and has $4.2 million in cash.
The five-term Specter now has about $7.5 million to spend.
In April, Specer severed his decades-long ties to the GOP.The three-month long fundraising quarter ended June 30.
When he made the switch, Specter offered return money to any donors who asked for it back.
He's since given back $225,000,
said Chris Nicholas, his campaign
manager.
On the GOP side, the National Republican Senatorial Committee on Tuesday endorsed former northeast Pennsylvania Rep. Pat Toomey.
Toomey raised about $1.6 million in the period and has $1.1 million in cash.

Shaeffer Hall accepts Yankees after two other major league offers
BY HANNAH DECLERK

He spent his days as a young boy wanting to be them. He pictured himself on the dirt mound, shifting his knees and wiping the dirt onto his fresh white trousers. He imagined himself bouncing the white ball into his brown glove. Up and down, up and down. He would look left, then spit right, and then hurl the ball toward home plate.
"Shaeffer, Shaeffer!" They would call.
He dreamed, like any fourth grader, of becoming something great. Spending his summers at Kansas Baseball camps, he would picture himself as the college players. His dream came true when he was recruited to play with the University, and went above and beyond when he was recruited to a Major League Team.
In the spring of 2009, Shaeffer Hall, left-
handed pitcher from Lee's Summit, Mo., completed his second year as Kansas baseball's starting pitcher and was recently recruited by the New York Yankees in the 25th round of the Major League Baseball Draft. After all his accomplishments, he said he still saw himself as average, or just a guy who had to work hard and believe in himself to get to where he was today.
Shaeffer spent the majority of his life in sports. His family motivated him to stay active and got him involved with football, basketball and baseball.
"Growing up, I didn't have a favorite or best sport," Shaeffer said. "Whatever season it was I was just enjoying doing it."
Shaeffer said one of his fondest memories was of a baseball camp he attended in fourth grade. It was at the University, and he said he remembered wanting to be one of the Kansas baseball players.
"I have always been a KU fan. Living an hour away from the University, it has always been a family tradition," Shaeffer said. "Looking back to what motivated me to pitch was watching the older players and wanting to fall in their footsteps. I wanted to be them."
His love of sports continued through high school, but it wasn't until his senior year that he started to excel in baseball.
Eric Hall, Shaefer's father, said Shaeffer's most unique trait was that he had always been a hard worker.
"He was never the biggest or the strongest, but he always worked hard to keep up with his teammates," Eric Hall said.
Shaeffer said he did not expect to be recruited to a Major League Baseball team right out of high school — but he was. He was drafted to the Texas Rangers, but turned down the offer to pursue an education.
"I wasn't really ever satisfied with what I accomplished," Shaeffer said. "I knew that at the time, going to school would be the best for me."
Shaeffer decided to play baseball at Jefferson College in Hillsboro, Mo. After only one year at the college, Shaeffer was recruited by another Major League team, the Cleveland Indians. He said he turned them down because in his eyes, a greater opportunity came along — a chance to play with the University of Kansas.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
'Hoops 2 Heels' helps athletes build skills for their future careers
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
Sade Morris accomplished much during her basketball career. The senior guard was Gatorade's Player of the Year in 2006 while in high school and made the All-Tournament Team in the 2009 Women's National Invitational Tournament finals in college.
But there's one thing she missed out on perfecting during her time with Kansas basketball: a resume.
"I should know how to make one; I just don't," Morris said.
Fortunately for Morris and her teammates, making the transition
from playing college basketball to working in the professional world is easier' now with a program called "Hoops 2 Heels."
Trena Anderson, director of operations for women's basketball, started Hoops 2 Heels. The program is designed specifically to help the KU women's basketball team and other female athletes at the University build skills for their careers after college. Anderson said she got the idea from a similar program at the University of Oklahoma called "Sooner Stilettos."
For Morris and her teammates, their world consists of playing home and road games, practicing, going to class and tutoring for four years. But
Hoops 2 Heels aims to help them when they trade in their jerseys and sneakers for more work-appropriate attire.
The first event, "Game On: Not Just on the Court," will take place this month. Anderson said the event would feature 20 to 25 female professionals speaking to the players about the work force.
"We're going to have entrepreneurs, CEOs, lawyers, exercise science majors, mothers." Anderson said. "We want to have different people to offer their life stories to relate to the players."

"I was friends with one of KU's baseball players, and he told the coaches I had a strong interest in KU. He told the coaches to come watch me, and they did." Shaeffer said. "I got recruited after that game, and the excitement just hasn't stopped."
Shaeffer said if it wasn't for his coaches, he wouldn't be where he is today.
"While at KU, I was surrounded by good players who were my teammates," Shaefer said. "Then Coach gave me the opportunity to pitch on Friday nights which is a big deal."
While at the University, Shaeffer tossed the fifth no-hitter in team history. He was an All-Big 12 honorable mention, an academic all-conference selection and the first Jayhawk to tally multiple complete shut-outs in a season.
Ryan Graves, assistant coach, said Shaefter was one of the best players they've had. He said he also had one of the best work ethics.
"Shaeffer is fairly modest," Graves said. "However, he has a great command of the ball, and was able to put away hitters. Everyday he showed up for practice or games just excited to be there."
Shaeffer was drafted for the third
time a month ago by the New York Yankees, which prompted him to finally end his run with Kansas baseball. He signed with the Yankees two days later.
"Getting to play for KU is just as exciting as playing for the Yankees," Shaeffer said. "I have been drafted three times, and it is God's way of telling me to move on to the next level."
Shaeffer said he also received a good signing bonus from the Yankees, and although he wouldn't give out details, the amount offered helped cover his education. Shaeffer now plays for the Yankee's Minor League division, the Staten Island Yankees. He said he planned on returning to the University in the fall to continue his education. He said he would leave again in the spring to play for the Yankees, and would work to make it to the Yankee's Major League division.
After all of his accomplishments, Shaeker said he still saw himself as just another average guy.
"I am not the most eye-opening baseball player," Shaeffer said. "I have never been the best, but I believe in myself and have the motivation to work hard."

Morris said the program gave her more ideas of what to do after college.
"I feel like I can fall back on this to get me to be prepared." Morris said.
Morris said although she wanted to go into coaching,it was important to know what other opportunities were out there.
Morris' teammate, sophomore forward Aishah Sutherland, said she wanted to learn about networking.
"Maybe you'll see them later on; you never know who you will end up talking to," Sutherland said.
Sutherland said Hoops 2 Heels was something she and her teammates should all do because they didn't have the time to participate in activities regu students did.
"People think it's easy for us, but they don't understand," Sutherland said. "They need to be in a position like ours to know what we go through."
Junior forward Nicollette Smith shared a similar opinion.
"People make comments, like we're so lucky living the life, but that's not all that goes into it," Smith said. "We think they're lucky because they have
a lot more free time."
Anderson said the teams' schedule was the main reason the players were unable to attend many campus events and club meetings.
"That's why we are bringing the resources to them and introduce them to these wonderful women and help create a bridge for them." Anderson said.
"In college I wish I knew things like the etiquettes of golf, what type of pants to buy for an interview, and the importance of networking." Anderson said.
Anderson said she wished she had had a program similar to Hoops 2 Heels when she was a track athlete at Southeast Missouri State University.
Anderson said that in one experience she was invited to play at a golf tournament during her first job at Michigan State University.
"I showed up wearing a pair of khaki shorts and some tennis shoes. I felt out of place." Anderson said. "I missed out on a lot of opportunities because, unfortunately, I didn't know what to wear."
ing to plan and that the program had the full support of coach Bonnie Henrickson. She said even if some of the players wanted to play professionally in the WNBA or overseas, they would still have to be prepared to get a job and network.
Anderson said that Hoops 2 Heels was something she had been want-
"The players can't wear their jerseys 24 hours a day, even overseas." Anderson said. "It's intensified being on your own; there's no academic counselors to push you. This is real life."
Anderson said she wanted to make Hoops 2 Heels as fun and creative as she could. She even had ideas such as creating a book of healthy recipes and offering financial advice. Anderson said she encouraged other female athletes to attend or even create a program of their own.
"We don't want to seem like women's basketball is shut off from the rest of the athletic and academic world." Anderson said. "We just want a community of professional women to be a resource for our team and a way to transition from college life to professional life."

BRITISH OPEN
Woods to play Turnberry course for the first time
BY DOUG FERGUSON
TURNBERRY, Scotland — The sea breeze in his face was not nearly as important to Tiger Woods as finding the best route around three pot bunkers on the 10th hole at Turnberry.
He aimed his tee shot to the right, on the high side of two bunkers, then pulled his 3-wood just enough that the ball bounded along the links until it stopped rolling just three yards short of the sand.
This was OK.
"That's the whole idea," Woods said. "Some of these holes sucker you into trying to take it over the bunkers."
A bold tee shot would leave a shorter approach into the green, perhaps a greater chance at birdie.
"But can you do that over four days?" Woods replied.
early stages of recovering from knee surgery that kept him out for eight months.
He had never seen Turnberry until arriving Sunday, and he played the last of his three practice rounds Tuesday morning beneath a mixture of clouds and sunshine, fickle weather that likely will continue for the week.
Woods has captured the British Open three times on two links courses. He won his first claret jug at St. Andrews in 2000, a victory as much famous for his career Grand Slam as his four rounds without once playing out of the bunker.
His most recent victory was three years ago at Hoylake, where Woods hit driver only one time in 72 holes. He chose that week to play mainly long irons and the occasional 3-wood off the tee, anything to keep him short of the bunkers.
"I don't think I've ever been able to reach the green from a bunker," Woods said. "It's a one-shot penalty. Even if you can advance it 60 yards, you still have a 6-iron left to the green."

Kansas coach to work with Team USA
Stanley Redwine will coach distance in World Championships
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
The U.S. Track and Field team named its coaching staff July 6 for the World Championships in Berlin next month, and a Jayhawk made it onto the roster. Coach Stanley Redwine was named as men's distance coach for Team USA.
"Any time you get to represent your country in track and field is an honor," Redwine said.
Redwine will be working with athletes in events such as the 800 meter run, the 5000 meter run and the marathon. Redwine said he would know who would be competing in the distance events at the end of July.
Redwine competed as an athlete for Team USA in Berlin in various
distance events annually from 1983 to 1996.
"I took it as an honor whenever I was selected as an athlete," Redwine said.
USA Track and Field selected Harvey Glance, men's track and field coach at Alabama, as men's coach for the World Championships. The organization selected Chandra Cheeseborough, women's track and cross country coach at Tennessee State, as the head coach for the women's side of Team USA.
Cheeseborough
also had previous experience as an athlete competing in Berlin and said she remembered having Redwine as a teammate.
"Any time you get to represent your country in track and field is an honor."
"I remember him being a gentleman on and off the track," she said.
Redwine said USA Track and Field had a selection committee made up
of coaches and athletes that chose the staff to compete in the World Championships, the Pan American Games and the Olympics.
STANLEY REDWINE Track & field coach
Redwine was selected as an assistant coach for Team USA for the Pan American games in 2003 and was named men's coach for the Pan
American games in 2007.
Redwine said that he hoped being an assistant for Team USA would bring notoriety to Kansas track and field, and that he wanted to represent Kansas along with Team USA.
He said he would like to wear Jayhawk gear
while in Berlin.
"USATF may have some things on what you can and can't wear," Redwine said, "but anything and everything I do, I always have Kansas at heart."

UFC
Lesnar's swagger might kickstart sport's popularity
The great sportswriter Red Smith wrote after Cassius Macellus Clay defeated Sonny Liston in Miami Beach in 1964 that the man now named Muhammad Ali "climbed like a squirrel onto the red velvet ropes and brandished his still-gloved hand aloft."
"Eat your words," Clay shouted to the working press rows. Eat your words.
A few things before we talk about UFC 100: Brock Lesnar's dominating knockout victory against Frank Mir to become this world's UFC undisputed heavyweight champion was not an upset. Lesnar was actually favored. Frank Mir is not Sonny Liston. And Brock Lesnar is not Muhammad Ali. He's bigger.
He's bigger obviously in terms of size and while he'll likely never approach Ali's societal influence, he is as big a force in terms of athletic potential.
Let's stop pretending that Lesnar's refusal to touch gloves with Mir - who actively engaged in trading
THE FULL MONTY
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
colorful barbs with Lesnar preceding the fight - was something befitting Lesnar's former home, WWE.
I could have done without the middle fingers after the fight, but it didn't ruin my night. UFC 100 was a special event and effectively ushered in a new era for mixed martial arts. Lesnar's performance showcased what will probably be a record number of viewers that he is an extraordinary fighter. One eras are built around.
And although Lesnar's stated preference for Coors Light and his intentions to get on top of his wife later drew a chuckle from me (and also those previously booing him)
during his post-fight chat with Joe Rogan, I'll admit that dumping on one of the UFC's chief sponsors (Bud Light) was unwise. That's all you're getting from me. If you were hoping for more outrage, Google "Joe Buck" and "Randy Moss."
When Ali won his first heavyweight championship in 1964 he told doubters to eat their words. When Lesnar cemented his place as MMAs biggest mainstream figure, he asked "Who's the f--ing man now?"
The audience of budding and longtime fight fans alike saw Lesnar control the first round. The damage inflicted on Mir's face by the second round was visible when he first put Lesnar on the defensive.
But it was over not long after Lesnar caught Mir as he threw a kick. With Mir backed up against the cage, Lesnar's figure kept him immobilized as he collided his XXXL-sized gloves with his opponent's skull. Each blow was severe but when Lesnar sped up his barrage, there didn't appear to be a single fighter who could remain
intact after sustaining that damage.
And so it happened. In his fifth MMA bout, Lesnar avenged his only loss in destructive fashion.
UFC 100 was the biggest sporting event of the weekend. Coverage included front-page billing on ESPN, com and Sports Illustrated's Web site. For the first time, highlights of the fights and their outcomes were the top stories on SportsCenter.
With the momentum MMA has accumulated over the past several years, there is no reason to believe it cannot become even bigger than it was last weekend. Lesnar's once-in-a-generation blend of talent and ability to draw emotional responses all but guarantees the idea.
Don't think for a second that almost every one of the people raining down boos in Las Vegas Saturday night won't shell out some major cash to see if Lesnar can be stopped.
But the storyline now moves to Fedor Emelianenko, considered by many as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. During the post-
fight press conference, Dana White admitted that he will go after Fedor with all he's got in an attempt to sign the 30-1 juggernaut from Stary Oskol, Russia. Fedor's contract with Affliction is up after his Aug. 1 fight with Josh Barnett. Barnett is the third consecutive former UFC champion Fedor will face - his first two fights were quick, impressive dispatches of Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlowski.
The demand for Fedor by UFC fans has been insatiable. Of course the allure of a Lesnar-Fedor fight would essentially blow up with a loss to Barnett, but barring those unforeseen circumstances Fedor's following will likely grow even more and anticipation for Lesnar-Fedor will be at a fever pitch.
And imagine that. In the world's biggest fight sport, its potential biggest fight of all time will have a Good Guy vs. Bad Guy ascetic to it.And it'll be the Russian who is beloved and the American reviled.

Chiefs sign new quarterback
BY DOUG TUCKER
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
A lifelong backup until Tom Brady went down with a season-ending knee injury last September, Cassel was obtained from the Patriots during the offseason along with linebacker Mike Vrabel. The former seventh-round pick led New England to an 11-5 record and the Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during off-season workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
Amiable and hardworking, he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him, Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
Unsettled quarterback play was a big factor in KC's franchise-worst, two-win finish last year. Early in the
season, they were down to thirdstringer Tyler Thigpen, and had to adjust to a spread offense to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity hed been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community." Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."

Bernadette Gray-Little, the University’s 17th chancellor, reveals plan, recounts past

Editor’s note: The Kansan had the opportunity to sit down in Chapel Hill, N.C. with Bernadette Gray-Little, who will soon be the University’s 17th chancellor, and several of her colleagues and friends. The conversations looked at who Gray-Little is and what she intends to do at the University, which she said is the last university she will work for.
Chapel Hill, N.C. — Bernadette Gray-Little shoots a contemplative look at the ceiling for a moment then points out the window at something she’s going to miss.
“I enjoy that sight right out there,” Gray-Little said. “More days than not I stop on the way in or out or I look out my window and I look out on that sight. It’s a great sight.”

1. Nicaraguan president forced out of office in coup
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Aides to ousted President Manuel Zelaya pushed Monday for international sanctions against Honduran officials who took power in a coup and foreign nations stepped up pressure after negotiations for his return reached a deadlock.
Zelaya, a wealthy rancher who shifted left during his presidency, charged that the current constitution protects a system of government that excludes the poor.
The aftermath of the coup is turning into a major test of Latin American democracy and of the Obama administration's policy toward the region.
The U.S., the United Nations and the Organization of American
States have demanded that Zelaya be reinstated, and no foreign government have recognized his replacement Micheletti.
BAGHDAD — The Iraqi military has turned down requests from American forces to move unescorted through Baghdad and conduct a raid since the transition of responsibility for urban security at the end of last month, an Iraqi military commander said Monday.
2. Iraqi military rejects U.S requests for movement
U. S. combat troops withdrew from urban areas on June 30 under a security agreement with Iraq that requires all U.S. troops to be out of the country by the end of 2011.
NATIONAL
Outside urban areas, where U.S. troops are still free to move without Iraq approval, Americans are assisting with the search and arrest of insurgents, manning checkpoints and continuing ongoing efforts to train Iraqi forces.
Two of the victims were in good condition, one was fair and the fourth had been transferred to another hospital for non-medical reasons, said Rachael Kagan, spokeswoman for San Francisco General Hospital.
The hospitalized driver told officials from San Francisco's transit workers union that a "medical condition" was to blame for his loss of consciousness, said Irwin Lum, the union's president.
A total of 47 people were injured in the crash, including the driver.
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistan's military said more than 50 militants and three soldiers had been killed in two days of clashes in the country's restive northwest.
4. Four seriously injured in train crash improving
SAN FRANCISCO — The four most seriously injured victims in a weekend light-rail crash were improving Monday, as a union official said the operator of the train had blacked out just before the collision with a parked train.
3.Militants and soldiers killed during operation
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency identified the driver Monday as Henry Gray.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The astronauts aboard the shuttle-station complex celebrated the 40th anniversary of man's first moon landing with their own spacewalk Monday, heading outside to stockpile some big spare parts.
The clashes came during a two-day operation in Lower Dir, an area bordering the Swat Valley where the army had been wrapping up an offensive against Taliban militants.
In the second outing of their mission, David Wolf and Thomas Marshburn anchored a 6-foot dish antenna on the international space station for future use, then did the same with a hefty pump and an engine for a rail car.
The spacewalk unfolded 40 years to the day that two other astronauts — Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin — strolled the moon's dusty surface.

6. Violence in New Jersey reaches a record high
NEWARK, N.J. — Three shootings in Newark on Monday have left three people dead and seven wounded in the latest outburst of violence in northern New Jersey.
The three shootings happened in a six-hour span, in a six-mile radius, and just days after eight police officers were injured in a confrontation a short distance away in Jersey City.
Newark Police Director Garry McCarthy said of the first two shootings didn't appear to be related. Officials haven't made an assessment on the third incident.
No motive or suspects have been named. No money was taken.
Authorities have not released the names and conditions of any of the surviving victims in the Newark attacks.

City Commission approves increase in parking fees
The increases to parking fees and fines downtown were approved on final reading at last night's city commission meeting. The changes approved include doubling the cost of meters, increasing parking tickets from $2 to $3 and increasing meter patrol end times from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Dave Corliss, city manager, said the next step would be to reprogram the parking meters within the next six weeks and the city would work on a publicity campaign to inform downtown parkers about the changes to fees, fines and enforcement hours.
"We aren't ready to announce what the exact effect will be,"Corliss said. "But one thing we are going to do is step back and see how can we best publicize this."

Proposed change would affect privacy in dorms
Search warrants may become unnecessary for room entrance
BY DYLAN SANDS
dsands@kansan.com
If a room in the residence halls is rocking, the University might do more than come knocking. A proposal at the University might allow staff members to enter students' rooms if they have reasonable suspicion that drugs or alcohol are being consumed.
The University has been re-evaluating its stance on alcohol use on campus in the wake of two student
deaths earlier this year. A recently formed alcohol task force met for the first time Tuesday afternoon
to discuss changes in the University's alcohol policies.
The current policy on searching residence halls allows students to deny entry to resident assistants. Supervisors need a search warrant to enter a student's

Jack Martin, deputy director of communications for the University, outlined the steps. If there is a rea-

sonable suspicion of drug or alcohol use or other violations and a resident refuses to let a resident assistant in, the RA could then find a senior staff member and again ask for permission to enter the room. If the student refuses entry twice and two housing staff
members agree there is reasonable suspicion to enter the room, they can then use a master key to open the door.
Martin said the reasonable suspicion policy could apply toward
other residence hall violations, but the focus would be on preventing alcohol abuse.
"There is always potential for other policy violations, but drug and alcohol are the ones that have got most attention," Martin said.
Martin said the policy was not aimed at invading the privacy of hall residents, but rather at protecting residents as a whole regardless of their behavior.
"What this comes down to is that one of the main reasons students choose campus housing is they expect it to be a safe place to study." Martin said. "If we can't enforce rules like the policies on drugs and alcohol then their rights aren't being protected."
Mason Heilman, student body
president, said the proposal would be considered by student senate before any decision could be made on the policy. He also said he thought it was important to provide a safe environment for all hall residents.
"The halls are there to provide a living environment that is conducive to being in college and provide areas where you can relax," Heilman said. "I don't have a definite feeling either way; I can see both sides. I would lean more towards this is an invasion of privacy, but it's important to take into account students that aren't in violation."
Heilman said students who live in the halls currently have the same

rights as a tenant of an off-campus apartment.
"The issue with that is there is the document called the Code of Students Rights and Responsibilities that says students give up none of their rights as tenants," Heilman said. "Clearly, no one can come into your apartment without a search warrant."
Heilman said the code would have to be amended to allow room searches.
"This is still in the proposal phase," Martin said. "We're talking about how do we reduce the instances of excessive and underage drinking among KU students. We've seen the tragic consequences that can result in injuries and even death."
Marlesa Roney, vice provost for the office of student success, held the first meeting of the new University Alcohol Task Force on Tuesday. Roney cited recent student deaths as cause for alarm regarding alcohol abuse on campus.
"We decided we really need to double our efforts in light of what went on this spring and bring people together in a new way," Roney said.
The task force is comprised of students, Greek officials and University staff and faculty. Roney, who mentioned being a resident assistant herself in the past, said the University needed to "step back and evaluate" the residence hall policy of granting residents the same rights that off-campus tenants have. She said some students had learned to deny entry to resident assistants and were exploit-
ing the loophole. Roney added that the new policies would need to find a balance between respecting privacy and promoting safety.
"It can become a heated issue when it comes to individual rights,"
Roney said. "I do hope we have a healthy discussion between students and administration." Ralph Oliver, chief of the office of public safety and member of the task force, said the current policy relied on search warrants, which took a considerable amount of time to get.
"We can pull a search warrant if we get called to a certain room twice," Oliver said.
"The goal is not to punish; it's to hold students to their contract."

He added that the average time it took to get a warrant was about four hours.

"We're not interested in punishing our students criminally," Wamelink said. "Opening the door enables staff to talk to students and have an educational conversation. The goal is not
to punish; it's to hold students to their contract."
Roney said that student senate code was usually revised every other year and that it was revised last year. She said that the University and the student senate would make an exception this year to review
the code on students' rights in the residence halls.
Roney said she did not want to set unrealistic goals in making changes with the task force.
"This is not about abstinence," Roney said. "It's about responsibility."
Heilman said he was awaiting the return of student senators in the fall to discuss policy changes.

Students,locals bring a 'novelty' back to life
BY DAVID UGARTE dugarte@kansan.com
Warren Gassaway found his first record player in the closet of his high school library at the end of his senior year. He said he liked vinyl records because they were a cheap way to listen to old music, "plus they are kind of cool to look at."
Gassaway, Neodesha junior, is not the only one who thinks so.
According to two articles published by Rollingstone.com in June of 2008 and January of 2009, Nielsen SoundScan reports showed that vinyl record sales increased 85.8 percent between 2006 and 2007 and 89 percent between 2007 and 2008. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, figures released in the U.S. in early 2009 showed that sales of vinyl records nearly doubled in 2008, with 1.88 million sold — up from 1 million in 2007.
Gassaway said he had between 300 and 400 records of classic rock,
obscure bluegrass, country and progressive rock.
"Most people I know have a little stash of records from their parents," Gassaway said. "I feel like a lot of people view it as a cool novelty. It's not necessary, but it's a cool item and it's cheap, which is good for people like me without a lot of money."

Patrick Crough has worked at Half Price Books, 1519 W. 23rd Street, for two years. He said vinyl records were more popular now than when he started working there.
Crough said vinyl sales were still below CD sales at Half Price Books, but said it could be related to selection.
"It's definitely changing." Crouch said.
Crough started listening to records about 10 years ago when he was given his parents' old vinyl collection. He also has between 300 and 400 records. He said he liked to listen to '60s and

VINYL (CONTINUED FROM 7)
'70s rock records.
"I If I hear something I like from the '60s or '70s, I try to find it on vinyl," Crouch said. "There's some things that seem to sound better; the sound is reproduced better."
Steve Wilson, manager of Kief's Downtown Music, 823 Massachusetts St., has worked at the record store for about 35 years. He estimated his personal collection of records to be at about 5,000, including a floor-to-ceiling shelf of records he has in his house.
"Vinyl is good because it is something basically knowledge-based, you have to know the quality and resaleability of each record," Wilson said. "It's unique. If you buy smart, it's a reasonable way to work. It's more a service to the customer."
Vinyl record sales at Kief's have increased slightly to about 20-25 percent of the total sales of the store, he said. Wilson said vinyl really only sounded significantly better if it was high quality vinyl on a good record player, which most people don't have.
"Forty-fives" (45s) sound have a vibe. I think a lot of people get a buzz off that sound." Wilson said. "I
personally don't care much about the medium, but I certainly have a lot of good memories and if that's something young people are getting into, then I think that's great."
Jacob Bigus, Paola sophomore, said he took an interest in vinyl recently when he listened to his father's vinyl collection. But his first record, "Quadrophenia" by The Who, came from one of the dads of someone in his Boy Scout troop when he was 14 or 15.
"I like to have enough vinyl recordings to put one on for every mood," Bigus said.
Bigus said he liked to have vinyl records of all kinds of music.
He said he thought of vinyl records' comeback as more of a personal comeback for individuals when they discovered vinyl existed, which he said happened to a lot of people in college.
COMPARED TO CDS
Gassaway said that when comparing vinyl to CDs, vinyl was better for listening at home. Bigus said he thought the music sounded more realistic and 'live.'
"If I get something on vinyl, I don't listen to the CD anymore," Bigus said.
Aley Shoffner, Wichita senior, has worked at Love Garden, 936 1/2 Massachusetts St., for more than a year. Love Garden, a CD and record store, has been selling vinyl for almost 20 years. She said Love Garden sold a lot more vinyl than CDs with its combination of new and old records available.
Shoffner said that when she really liked an album she might get the CD, but she always wanted it on vinyl, too.
"CDs are more disposable for me. Records are like my back up copy." Shoffner said. "It's like a good, solid copy to have."
Kent Szauderbach, Wichita junior, said he got into vinyl during his senior year of high school.
"The sound has richer tones; it's fuller," Szlauderbach said. "It kind of permeates the atmosphere better."
Szauderbach said vinyl's sound quality was better than CDs and said the only real drawback was that vinyl record players were not portable. He said CDs turned the music digital, changing it to numbers instead of vibrations, as it was when it was recorded on vinyl.
Crough attributed some of vinyls' re-emerging popularity to the new bands that used vinyl.
"People are definitely noticing vinyl again, young and old," Crouch said. "Record companies are taking new releases and packaging them as a record and digital download, which seems to be a great idea," Crouch said. "You get the big art and music right to your computer."
WHAT IS BRINGING VINYL BACK?
Shoffner said more releases were coming out on vinyl as well as more re-pressings, where new copies of old albums are made. This also leads to an increase in prices, she said, as record companies take advantage of vinyl's growing popularity. Shoffner said she thought vinyl was more popular in Lawrence because the town had good record stores where people could get anything on vinyl, unlike Wichita, where she grew up.
"I think it's awesome," Shoffner said. "I can get all kinds of releases I
couldn't get. Even smaller, local bands have releases on vinyl."
Szauderbach said the album covers made vinyl records more aesthetically pleasing and said he liked to listen to old blues records.
"It's nice to hear how people heard it back then," Szlauderbach said. "It's definitely trendy."
He credited indie bands with putting in a lot of effort to make quality vinyl records. He said he tended to purchase records with a "strong sense of album," meaning the songs transition smoothly and the band has a certain sound, or theme, to its album.
"It's cool because it makes bands focus more on making an album instead of a single," Szlauderbach said.
He said he liked to have albums he would enjoy listening to all the way through.
"It may not be better, but it's definitely different than shuffling on the iPod," Szaulerbach said. "Plus, no matter what happens, if there's an apocalypse, records will still be there."

Chris Brown apologizes, pleads guilty
BY ANTHONY MCCARTNEY
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Chris Brown publicly apologized Monday for the beating of Rihanna, saying in a two-minute video that he's still seeking help and wants to live his life as a role model.
Brown released the video on his Web site apologizing to fans and said he was sad and ashamed of his conduct. He also told viewers that he had repeatedly apologized to Rihanna.
Brown was arrested Feb. 8, hours after he fought with his then-girlfriend in a rented sports car after a pre-Grammy party. According to a police affidavit, Brown tried to push the 21-year-old Barbados-born singer from the car and repeatedly hit her and choked her.
He left the scene and later turned himself in to authorities during the Grammy
Awards, where he and Rihanna were slated to perform. He was later charged with assault likely to cause great bodily harm and making criminal threats. He pleaded guilty to the felony assault charge last month and faces sentencing Aug. 5.
He is slated to serve five years of probation and perform six months of community labor.
In the video, Brown calls the beating "the incident." He vows to conduct interviews and answer some questions about the beating, but said he wanted to speak directly to fans first.
"I felt it was time you that heard directly from me that I am sorry," he said on the video.
He calls his conduct "inexcusable" and says his mother — who has attended some of his court hearings — has taught him better. He mentions that he witnessed domestic violence growing up.
"I saw first hand what uncontrolled
rage can do," he tells viewers. "I have sought and am continuing to seek help to ensure that what occurred in February can never happen again."
Brown said on the video he wanted to speak out earlier, but was advised not to by his lawyer.
He acknowledged that the beating had hurt his reputation. Although he didn't mention it, Brown lost sponsorship deals, radio stations stopped playing his music and other artists condemned him after the attack.
Before the beating, Brown was considered a squeaky-clean R&B up-and-comer. He rose to prominence after the 2005 hit "Run It!" He was nominated for a Grammy for "No Air" with Jordin Sparks and named Billboard's top artist in 2008.
"I intend to live my life so that I am truly worthy of the term 'role model," Brown said at the video's conclusion.
The pool at the resort has a covered area with a poolside bar and dining area. The building is surrounded by trees and landscaped greenery.

Album: Uplifter by 311
Super cheese. The best two words to describe 311's new album, "Uplifter".Sure, 311 stuck somewhat to its formula: heavy guitar riffs, S.A. Martinez busting out flows, and Nick Hexum singing about love — but with aging the band has lost its edge.
There's nothing surprising about this new album. It sounds like a combination of all the bad things from the band's three latest studio albums "From Chaos,""Evolver" and "Don't Tread On Me." These bad things include cliché lyrics, guitar licks that sound as if they're featured on a Sega Genesis video game and chord progressions you swear you've heard before on previous albums.
If you've followed 311 from its start you can hear with the album "Evolver," a shift towards a lighter,
more mature sound that doesn't do what 311 used to to, which was rock. It's disappointing, but one can assume it's expected from now on. As much as I enjoy classic 311, I have to say don't waste your money on this album. The "classic" 311 albums far surpass this one.

Book: Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
The feelings of failure, sorrow and loss are often associated with the Great Depression.
However, in "Water for Elephants",
author Sara Gruen displays a colorful aspect of the period by introducing the audience to an unknown world of the depression-era circus.
The novel is narrated by an elderly protagonist, who tells his tale of a personal tragedy and an accidental fall into a life-altering circus world. The experience reveals a backstage appearance of the "greatest show on earth." That is, behind all the glitz and glamour lies a world dedicated to sex, robbery and debauchery.

Album: Chemical Warfare by The Alchemist
For those curious about what's been going on in the hip-hop scene, both mainstream and underground, beatsmith The Alchemist's latest release "Chemical Warfare" gives hip-hop heads a reason to rejoice.
Born in Beverly Hills and taken under the wing of DJ Muggs, DJ/ producer for Cypress Hill and Soul Assassins, The Alchemist is best known for producing beats on both sides of the coast, notably for underground hip-hop crew Dilated Peoples, Mobb Deep, Nas and Fat Joe.
ALCHEMIST
CHEMICAL WARFARE
On what can be considered the signature lazy summer track "Smile," guest MC Twista steals the show with his impossibly fast flows. On "Keep the Heels On;" The Alchemist creeps back into some stilted-eerie synth beats while Prodigy of Mobb Deep brings that his gritty rhymes that recall
the group's early hardcore roots. Underground heavyweight Talib Kwell, Kid Cudi and Evidence stop by on "Therapy" to break The Alchemist's minimal guitar rhythm open with stream-of-consciousness flows. This album altogether is a highlight for hip-hop followers wanting proof that their favorite rappers haven't faded away.

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", the sixth installment of the series, broke a midnight-screening record of $20 million last Wednesday. The movie was dark and thrilling, yet more prevalent was the coupling romances among teenagers. Between Ron and Lavender's "snogging" scenes and Hermione's jealousies, the movie focused less on Harry's problems and more on hormonal angst. Harry seemed to run solo with most of his problems, but with Dumbledore's help, Harry continued on his mission against Voldemort — I mean, HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED. The sixth part of the series proved the complexities and depth of the seven series saga, and may have been too confusing for Harry Potter virgins, but crazed fans could appreciate the smaller humors dispersed throughout.
The transition from book to screen demonstrated director David Yates' talented ability to turn a 652-page book into a 2 1/2 hour movie. The surprising ending left everyone wanting more and a chance to look forward to the last segment of the Harry Potter story.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Proposed policy infringes on privacy
Administrators at the University of Kansas are considering perhaps the biggest hit to student privacy rights in decades.
A new proposal would allow housing officials to enter a student's dorm room or scholarship hall room if there is "probable cause" of alcohol or drug use. This new policy is an effort to decrease underage and excessive drinking on campus.
Students on the Student Housing Advisory Board have already approved the change in policy, and it appears as if Student Senate will have the final say in the matter.
Current housing policies only allow police or housing staff to enter a student's room with verbal consent or a warrant granted by a judge. Officials in the department of student housing should not be afforded
Although the University should be commended for trying to curtail excessive drinking, taking away students' privacy is not the only — or
best — way to accomplish that goal.
The recent medical amnesty program, which allows students to call for help with an
intoxicated friend without the possibility of disciplinary or legal action, was a positive step in encouraging responsible drinking behaviors.
The recent changes in policy are an obvious attempt to mend the University's alcohol policy because of the recent deaths of KU freshmen Dalton Hawkins and Jason Wren.
KANSAN'S OPINION
Neither Dalton Hawkins nor Jason Wren died in a dorm room. Hawkins was found dead near a University scholarship hall reportedly after a night of drinking at local bars. This proposed policy would only encourage students to drink in
other places, much like Hawkins did the night of his death. And it makes little sense to say this policy could have prevented Wren's death. Wren was
kicked out of Oliver Hall after repeated drinking violations. If this policy had been in effect at the time, Wren would likely have only been kicked out sooner.
Administration officials should be applauded for implementing a mandatory alcohol education program. Education and awareness will
go much further than taking away students' privacy.
But these positive steps forward don't rectify several steps backward. The administration is considering other drastic measures that come shockingly close to infringing upon students' First Amendment rights.
In a "Summary of Alcohol Initiatives" the administration identifies reviewing "the University's chalking policy" and mandating training for members of student media outlets to implement "socially responsible advertising." Alcohol deaths are sad, tragic and everything possible should be done to avoid them. But recent proposals by University administration go too far and ask too much of students.

First-hand tips for a good hostel experience
I was sleeping on the bottom bunk when my friend on the top decided she wanted to get

This would normally be fine, except for the six total strangers who had been fast asleep before my outburst. Thus concludes my first night staying in a hostel.
The looks I got from the sleeping strangers the next morning (and the rest of my time in Galway City Hostel) reminded me of the 'I'll pretend I'm not upset, but really what's your problem? But I didn't let a few

as possible, or at least that's what he told her while he relaxed in his boxers. Being a good person, Eddie felt it was his mission to share the tricks he'd learned from his travels with everyone he met. Sleeping in cemeteries, Eddie told our friend, was the best money saving trick for travel.
Eddie was probably the highlight of my hostel stay. Although I appreciated his mildly insane pieces of advice more than any practical knowledge he offered, I figured someone might find his logical bits of wisdom helpful. So, in true Eddie fashion, here are five tips for hostels.
1. Friends who book together stay together.
If you're going with friends and want to sleep in the same room,
make reservations on the same bill.
2. Make sure it's not going to turn into that Hostel movie.
Check reviews of hostels before you book a bed.

If you're nervous about the bed, bring a bed bag and a spare pillow case. Light sleepers should consider earplugs or an eye mask.
5. Make it your home.
Bring a power adapter, shower shoes and other practical items you wouldn't normally bring for a hotel.

White Owl claims to be banned from campus
BY ADAM SCHOOF aschoof@kansan.com
White Owl, or the eccentric quasimascot who is often outside Wescoe Hall preaching and dancing, said the University threatened to ban him from coming onto campus and attending sporting events, but that may not be the case.
Jill Jess, associate director for news and media relations for the University, laughed when asked about the incident and said there was no record of White Owl being banned from any department.
White Owl is known for his long hair, beard and appearing on ESPN. For a while, White Owl was a star. He was on television and Big Jay dressed up like him at football games.
White Owl said he came to the University to study Agent Orange, a powerful herbicide used in the Vietnam War, and its effects on veterans. He said he didn't come here to become famous.
"I didn't understand my fame, but
I loved it," White Owl said. "I never asked anybody to interview me. I never sought this at all."
Erina McKinney, Topeka junior, said White Owl was a bystander to his fame.
"It's not a question of whether he deserves it or not — he gets it," McKinney said.
White Owl said the story of his banning started in the spring of 2008. He said a woman talked with him at the Jazzhaus, a venue located at 926 Massachusetts St., who said she worked for the University's administration. White Owl said that the woman told him KU administration "absolutely hated" him, but that she didn't tell him her name.
Because of this conversation, White Owl said, he took two people seriously who told him on Facebook that he was going to be banned from the University and so also berated him with various insults a few weeks ago. White Owl said the people's names couldn't be found on Facebook after their conversations with him. White Owl said he started crying when he
"My whole world collapsed," he said.
received the messages.
White Owl said he went to campus alone around midnight last Monday. He said he sat outside Wescoe Hall, praying to God that he hadn't been banned.
White Owl said a police officer came and talked with him and confirmed his suspicions. White Owl said the police officer warned him not to come to University events or on campus because he would be arrested.
Captain Schuyler Bailey of the Public Safety Office said there was no record of this happening.
White Owls said he left the University that night and began driving with the idea of fleeing to California. When he got past Topea, he said, he heard God tell him to turn around.
White Owl said he had been on campus since the midnight incident to visit Curtis Marsh, program director of KU Info, whom he sees on a regular basis. Marsh said he was skeptical that White Owl was telling the truth.
"I would be surprised if the administration would say an individual would no longer be allowed to step foot on campus," Marsh said.
Derek Martin, Prairie Village sophomore, said White Owl might have thought he had been "figuratively" banned from the University.
Alex Bowman, Medicine Lodge junior, said White Owl was an asset to the University and shouldn't be banned.
"He encourages people to be academically successful," Bowman said. "Everyone I've seen him talk to, he's been nothing but friendly and encouraging."
Lauren Ashman, St. Louis, Mo., junior, also said White Owl should not be banned from the University.
"I think people only see him from afar," Ashman said. "If you actually go up and talk to him, he's a nice person."
When the fall semester starts, White Owl said, he will go back on campus with joy and scream between classes, as per police recommendation, and said he would buy season tickets so

he could go to every University game. He said he was going to try to get a student ID so he could buy tickets in the student section.

Program could help students cut energy costs
BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is looking for community projects that reduce green house gas emissions while benefiting the community. The Climate Showcase Communities Grant Program, started by the EPA, will assist in funding up to 30 projects nation-wide by distributing $10 million among the accepted plans. The city of Lawrence submitted its proposal Monday.
Jeff Severin, director of the University's Center for Sustainability, said the city staff asked him for project ideas. Severin said his idea for a project that would benefit the community while lowering emissions came from a similar program in Boulder, Colo., called Colorado University Community Energy Connections. This program employs CU students who raise awareness about energy conservation by informing home owners and renters about what they can do to conserve energy in their homes. The program also offers optional home energy audits done by students who examine residences and give specific examples for ways to conserve energy for each home.
Severin said the plan he proposed differed from the CU Community Energy Connection by recruiting student volunteers instead of using paid employees. Students would around to student neighborhoods and talk about what they could do as renters to conserve energy and efficiency in their apartments and homes.
"The idea is to focus more on what can a renter do," Severin said. "A lot of stuff that's coming out right now is retrofitting homes and that involves the home owner, but what do you do if you're a renter and you can't make some of these major changes?"
Severin said the program would provide resources such as light bulbs, smart power strips and weatherizing materials to help reduce energy consumption. He said the program
would not only help reduce emissions, but would also help save students money.
Janie Chen, Olathe junior in environmental studies, said she was interested in the project and would be willing to participate if the program became a reality. She said she thought students could do more to conserve energy, particularly in places such as the "student ghetto."
"Even if we are renters, we need to be educated about how to conserve energy and conserve our money." Chen said. "There's so much more that we can do, and I just think that a lot of people aren't aware of it."
Chen said she tried to conserve energy at her home by turning off lights, keeping the air-conditioning and heating down when she wasn't at home, using power strips and unplugging appliances that suck up energy.
"Those things actually take up a lot more energy than you think they do," Chen said.
She said she knew of other envi-
orientational studies majors who would want to know more about the project.
"It's a project that's close to home," Chen said. "I think it's not too big and something we can accomplish."
Ryan Callihan, Lenxa senior, is president of KU Environs, a student organization that promotes awareness of environmental issues. Callihan said he agreed that the plan sounded like a good idea, especially in the student ghetto because the houses in that area were more prone to being inefficient because of their age.
"Students don't want to take the time to invest in a long-term investment for energy savings because that's not really their prerogative," Callihan said. "They won't even be there next year."
He said that it should be the landlord's responsibility, but that because they don't pay the electrical bill, many landlords do not improve energy efficiency much in their rentals.
Callihan coordinates student volunteers for KU Environs. In order to get students to volunteer for the program, there would need to be some incentive to get them to participate, such as community service credit, Callihan said.
Severin said the project would not happen without the grant, which would provide half the funding.
"The actual man power could be done on a volunteer basis," Severin said. "But we want to be able provide some additional resources."
Severin said funding would be very competitive because projects would be submitted nation-wide, and that there had already been more than 250 proposals submitted. He said this had made funding opportunities for this project harder to obtain.
Funds are expected to be available by January 2010 according to the Climate Showcase Communities Grant Web site.

WEDN
SHEWLAND
CHANCELLOR (CONTINUED FROM 1)
She points out a window to a building, the university's Wilson library, which looks like a regal whitewashed capitol building. It's two football fields away from her office at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, across a vast courtyard filled with criss-crossing sidewalks, surrounded by trees and old academic halls.
Gray-Little ended her 38 years of employment at UNC as provost July 8. She will begin her role as the 17th chancellor of the University of Kansas August 15.
Born and raised in Washington, N.C., a small town in the then-segregated South, her parents placed a great deal of worth on receiving an education. Her younger brother Mark Gray said it was presented to them as a way out of poverty.
GROWING UP:EDUCATION
Gray-Little grew up the fourth child of eight with three brothers and four sisters. The first time she moved from her hometown was for college. Her father was illiterate and worked in construction. Her mother had a GED and was a homemaker who occasionally did custodial work.
Gray-Little still continues to pursue this early-established ideal. She sees the worth in it.
Though her family did not have the means to support her higher education, her parents always pushed that education was a way out of poverty, according to her brother, who's now a lawyer in Greensboro, N.C.
Her time at UNC shows her dedication to education. Her accomplishments, such as increasing diversity, and creating an office of undergraduate research and a first year seminar program, bettered UNC. She plans to do the same for the University.
"In some ways, education became such a big thing that it became the end as opposed to a means to an end," Gray said. "I just remember education was the goal; I guess it was also a
means."

little received scholarships and movedington to Scranton for her undergraduate in psychology. She said the segregansylvania was not the same as it was
growing up in Washington. Segregation in terms of stores and other public places was not there, but in terms of neighborhoods it still was.
From Marywood University she went to St Louis University in St. Louis, Mo. for her master's and doctorate in clinical psychology.
After that, she was offered a few professorships, including one at the University and at UNC. She took the position at UNC in 1971 as a professor of psychology and has been moving up in rank there ever since.
LIFE AT UNC
Her office didn't reveal she was in the process of moving. Excellently clean, barely anything covering her desk, with a single packing box in the middle of it.
"She ran a university and she would run the University of Kansas with such order and precision that shed have ten pieces of paper on her desk," Gray said. "Just ten. Just ten."
the Office of Univ
ior Robert Hema
Working as provost, Gray-Little's latest job at UNC, meant she was in charge of personnel and money. One would expect her office to be filled with clutter from all the responsibilities that fall under that, but it was so well kempt it looked like an office from a model home.
While at UNC, Gray-Little accomplished much as she worked her way up the academic totem pole.
Starting out as a professor, she later ran departments, served as the executive associate provost, a dean and the executive vice chancellor and provost.
Karen Gil, dean of the college of arts and sciences at UNC, spoke highly of the work Gray-Little had done and said she thought Gray-Little accomplished a lot in every position she held.
Gray-Little spearheaded two prominent programs in 1999 when she was senior associate dean for undergraduate education.
"Some of these programs were her legacy here at North Carolina," Gil said.
One was the office of undergraduate research, where undergraduates were encouraged to use UNC as a research institution. Undergraduates prepared works focused on pressing issues locally, nationally and internationally. This was a focus of Gray-Little's at UNC, and may be at the University as well, as she has made references to increasing research here.
The other program she started was a first-year seminar that all freshmen were required to take. A class of about 20 students met with a professor and studied that professor's expertise. Gil, for instance, taught a class on stress management, her area of expertise, to 20 freshmen who found the subject interesting. The idea behind the seminar was not only to encourage freshmen to learn about things that interested them, but also to build substantial relationships with professors in a close environment.
She made it a point to have undergraduates understand what research is and how it can be conducted.
HOME LIFE
Shade grew up in Washington as well, and was called a math genius by several people in Chapel Hill. At the moment, he doesn't plan on teaching at the University when the couple arrives, but Gray-Little said he wouldn't be sitting still for too long.
Mark is doing postdoctoral work at Duke and is a consultant for the business school at UNC. Maura just finished her master's in fine arts at Howard University in Washington, D.C. She is also a choreographer and runs a dance company and is planning to relocate her dance company to Kansas.
Gray-Little has two children, Mark Little and Maura Garcia, and a husband, Shade Little.
From what Mark said, his mother and father are quite different from one another.
"He's been banned from thrift stores." Mark said. "No going to them in Kansas."
Mark said his mother preferred very nice things, while Shade enjoyed things purchased in thrift stores. He said that she was style conscious, didn't go to thrift stores and dressed well — her shoes and jewelry go together.
Though she and Shade are different, Mark said he thought it was complimentary rather than problematic.
Gray-Little, even at home, is quiet. But Mark said that even with the contemplative side her colleagues describe, she's actually a bit silly, Gray-Little and Shade didn't allow TV in their house on weekdays for the kids. If Mark ever had on a silly movie or TV show she'd tell him to turn it off, but would still laugh at it.
"People have a list of adjectives to describe her," Mark said. "In our home context the first thing that comes to mind, she's a very silly person. None of those people would use that word; it wouldn't come to mind."
In comparison, Shade is said to be someone who likes to speak his mind.
"My father is very loud." Mark said. "I used to run track. You can't hear anything, but I could always hear my father yelling 'Run!' because he's so loud. It's like night and day."
Gray, her brother, doesn't remember too much about growing up with Gray-Little. She went off to her first year in college when he was in first or second grade, though he does remember meeting Shade for the first time when Gray was in his early teens.
"I was easily bought off," Gray said. "He bought me off with a quart of milk."

Paper no longer needed in classrooms
Professors create a "paperless classroom" by using blackboard
BY STEPH SCHNEIDER
sschneider@kansan.com
University teachers and the Center for Sustainability are using computer technology to produce as little waste as possible. "Paperless Classrooms" are becoming more possible on campus thanks to a computer network system, which saves paper, printing fees and students the hassle of having to be physically present to submit assignments.
Paperless classrooms are a trend where teachers use Blackboard to administer assignments, quizzes and syllabuses to students to reduce the amount of paper printed for the class.
For the past three semesters, Stacey Swearingen White, director of academic programs for the Center for Sustainability and associate professor of architecture and urban planning, posted readings online and had students submit papers through Blackboard.
"I think students care about efforts to save resources," White said. "Going paperless is, I think, ultimately easier and cheaper for them as well."
In the past, White said, she was unsure if students even read comments on their
"I encourage students to read course-materials online rather than printing them onto paper."
through her use of Blackboard and the "track changes" and "insert note" functions in Word, it's easier for them to read the comments online, she said.
"I have actually received notes from students thanking me for my comments," White said. "I think it takes more time for me to grade digitally, but its important to show students

that I am committed to finding ways to have a lesser impact on our environment."
-DAN BERNSTEIN Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence
professor of psychology, minimizes paper use by having most assignments done online and returned electronically, including term papers.
"Iencourage students to read course materials online rather than printing them onto paper," Bernstein said. "In the end, the only required work on paper are sit down exams."
White said students seemed to appreciate her efforts in conserving paper, and appreciated not having to pay to print something out.
Board on a Student Senate bill.
In efforts to conserve paper through printing, Joshua L. Foster, Lincoln, Neb., graduate student and research assistant for the Center for Sustainability, is working with the Student Environmental Advisory
The bill would encourage a reduction in paper use through the purchase of duplex printers, or printers that print on both sides of the paper. Foster said.
"Only specific departments across campus, like the Student Success Technology Services office have implemented such policies so far," Foster said. "The adoption of a University-wide policy would be ideal but is only in the research stage."
LAWSUIT
In addition to the use of duplex printing, the printer settings would reduce default margins on Word documents from 1.25" to .5".
The Center for Sustainability is using an example from the University of Iowa, where a significant reduction in paper use was the result of duplex printing, to develop its own program. According to its Web site, the duplex printing at the University of Iowa saved about 1.75 million sheets of paper per semester.

Dentist drops tools down elderly patient's throat
WINTER PARK, Fla. - A Florida dentist is being sued for allegedly dropping tools down the throat of an elderly patient twice.
Relatives of 90-year-old Charles Gaal Jr. recently filed the suit in circuit court accusing Dr. Wesley Meyers of negligence. An answering message at Meyers' office in Winter Park said Saturday that he was on vacation. He did not reply to a message from The Associated Press seeking comment.
The lawsuit said the doctor dropped an "implant screwdriver tool" in 2006 and a "miniwrench" in 2007.
The suit also said Gaal underwent several medical procedures to remove the tools but never fully recovered. He died in 2007.
Meyers was fined $17,000 by the state a year later. The dentist was found negligent in a settlement.

Six murdered in a two-state rampage
Man accused of killing wife and five others
BY BILL POOVEY Associated Press
FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn. — The man accused of a two-state rampage that left six dead was targeting his estranged wife and killed the others first so they couldn't stop the attack on her, Tennessee authorities said Tuesday.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said agents believe 38-year-old Traci Shaffer was the last person to die and that the couple had been having "marital difficulties."
Her husband,
30-year-old Jacob Shaffer, was arrested Saturday in Fayetteville. He's charged with stabbing five people to death in two Fayetteville homes and fatally beating a sixth person in Huntsville, Ala.
Helm said Shaffer "went out of his way" to kill Traci's father Billy Hall, 57, and brother Chris Hall, 34, in their home on a rural street in Lincoln County.
"In this case, he wanted to make sure the father and the brother who were in close proximity wouldn't interfere with him killing his main target," Helm said.
"...he wanted to make sure the father and brother...wouldn't interfere with him killing his main target."
Helm said investigators thought Shaffer then crossed the street to a duplex and killed his stepson Devin Brooks and a neighbor, Robert Berber, both 16, before killing his wife.
The only person left unharmed inside the home was Jacob Shaffer's 4-year-old helm, Helm said.
"She was probably asleep," Helm said. "As far as what she witnessed, I don't know. But she was awake and there when police showed up and found him."
Helm said investigators were still
Huntsville police said Sidney Wade Dempsey was the first victim. He was attacked at Hall Cultured Marble Granite, where he worked and was allowed to live.
investigators were still trying to figure out the motive in the beating death of a 50-year-old man found in a Huntsville business.
Unlike the stabbings in Tennessee, Hall died of blunt-force trauma, police said.
"I think the guy (Dempsey) was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think the guy (Shaffer) just decided to start there," said Sgt. Mark Roberts of the Huntsville, Ala., police department.
Helm said Shaffer made a statement to police, but would not say if he confessed to the murders.
"It's a pretty solid case for us," Helm said. "We've got everything we need to prosecute him."
Two assistant public defenders have been appointed to represent Shaffer. Officials from their office were not immediately available Tuesday for comment.
EXIT
This July 19 photo shows a flower lying on the front porch of a house in Fayetteville, Tenn., where Chris Hall, 34, and father Billy Hall, 57, were found dead. The man accused of killing six people repeatedly stabbed his estranged wife, her family and a neighbor, authorities said Monday.

INTERNATIONAL Man called mentally ill for short-lived protest
The 41-year-old German man drove through barricades around Berlin's Victory Column the day before Obama was to speak and poured red paint from his car.
BERLIN — A court has ordered psychiatric care for a man who staged a short-lived protest before Barack Obama's speech in Berlin during his campaign.
The Berlin state court said the man was protesting "injustice and poverty in the world" and is not guilty because of mental illness.

YouTube connects earthlings with NASA astronauts in space
BY MIKE SCHNEIDER
Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — When it comes to sneezing in a spacesuit during a spacewalk in the void of space, it is best to aim well.
That was the advice lead spacewalker David Wolf gave Tuesday to Dawn from Indianapolis, who along with more than a dozen others had questions they had posted on YouTube answered by some of the crew of space shuttle Endeavour.
"I've done it quite a few times, most recently yesterday," said Wolf, who led the mission's second spacewalk Monday and was set to go on a third spacewalk Wednesday. "You learn in training, and I don't know how to say this, aim well. It can mess up your view and there is no way to clear it."
The YouTube questioners, mostly children and teenagers, had posted their questions well before last week's launch of Endeavour on a
16-day mission to the international space station. Their posts were played one at a time for commander Mark Polansky, pilot Doug Hurley, Canadian astronaut Julie Payette and Wolf, who took turns answering the questions live, more than 200 miles above Earth.
Other questioners asked the astronauts what they missed most in space — friends and family, what they did in their spare time — look out the window, and what would happen if the shuttle or space station flew into a black hole — don't know. There are currently 13 crew members at the space station — seven visiting from the shuttle and six living at the station.
The YouTube questions were the latest effort by NASA to embrace social media. Polansky has a Twitter account with more than 37,500 followers, and since the mission began last Wednesday, Polansky has tweeted regularly with the help of workers at the Johnson Space Center who post his messages.
In this image provided by NASA, astronaut Tim Kopra is pictured in the forward port side area of Endeavour's cargo bay July 18 during the first of five planned spacewalks to be performed on the International Space Station. When the Endeavour crew returns to Earth, Kopra will stay onboard the space station to serve as flight engineer for ISS expedition duty.

Two Kansas basketball players made Team USA and went for the gold
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
It hasn't yet been a full week since coming back to the states, but senior forward Danielle McCray spent her Monday afternoon working out at the Anderson Family Strength and Conditioning Center, even after her coach gave her two weeks off.
"I can't stay still," McCray said.
"But I guess that's a good thing."
McCray and sophomore guard Ty-
shawn Taylor were the lone Jayhawks representing Kansas basketball for Team USA. Both athletes won gold medals, McCray in the World University Games and Taylor in the U-19 division.

"The first cut was out of 30 girls," Mcray said. "I had figured I did the best that I could."
Once she was officially on the team, McCray traveled to Belgrade, Serbia while Taylor headed out to Auckland, New Zealand.
After making it through the first cut, she had confidence in making the final cut.
"We played against guys my age, so it wasn't the best of the best, but for

While abroad, McCray played for Charli Turner Thorne of Arizona State and Taylor played for Jamie Dixon of the University of Pittsburgh.
McCray said Thorne was similar to coach Bonnie Henrickson.

Tips to make most of short summer
BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
Chances are if you're reading this, you're either a student or a faculty member taking or teaching summer classes.
If you're like me, those "Arby's" ads with Alice Cooper's "School's Out For Summer" depress you. You think summer school should be deemed unconstitutional. You want justice. Most of all, you want summer to start.
The finish line is in sight. Our cruelly short summer is set to begin. So, how shall we spend it?
Maybe you already have something lined up. If not, here are a few thoughts to consider before we go back to the daily grind and sunny days and swimsuits become another Kansas afterthought.
Get outside: This should be a no-brainer. We're about to wrap up eight weeks of sitting in front of a projector for hours and will only repeat the cycle too soon.
Go fishing; First, grab any gear you need at Wal-Mart for a price that won't set you back too far. Add a fishing license, available there or at Clinton Lake State Park, and scour Clinton Lake for walleye.

Camping, hiking, biking, swimming, boating and water skiing comprise a list of worthwhile diversions once you've caught your limit (or have no luck) at the lake.
Pat Dawson Billings North & South lakes, 27th Street and Crossgate Drive, and Mary's Lake, 1/2 mile east of 31st Street and Haskell Avenue, are smaller lakes surrounded by walking trails and ample amounts of nature.
Grill, grill, grill: Cooking outside in the company of friends and family, enjoying a cold drink on the side and tasting the end result of a job well done (or medium rare) is one of life's great pleasures. While you're at it, try a different take on the tired hot dog/hamburger routine and slap some bison steaks or lamb chops on the grill instead. More and more local grocery stores are carrying these and other exotic meats. Of course, if you were successful on your fishing excursion, a blackened catfish fillet would more than suffice.

These next few weeks will be perfect for finally knocking out those books you've been putting off for too long or for re-reading old favorites. Few practices are as good an indicator of where you once were in your life and where you are now.

ference she noticed in Thorne was her style of substitution rotation during games.
"She would bring five of us in and take the other five out," McCray said. "We were equal to each other so it didn't affect us at all."
For Taylor, playing under NBA-style rules was something he had to make an adjustment to.
"Guys were taking extra steps and the refs wouldn't call it." Taylor said at the conference. "It helped me prepare for the next level because they didn't call anything."
Taylor said that playing under those rules helped him to be more physical against guys who were bigger than his 6-foot-3-inch frame.
Both teams were undefeated going into their gold medal matches. For the World University Games finals, Team USA played against Russia, and the U-19 Team USA faced Greece. Both McCray and Taylor started in the final game. Taylor lead the team with 18 points, five steals and six assists leading Team USA to a 88 to 80 victory. Taylor played in eight total games and started in six of them. He was the leading scorer for Team USA throughout the tournament, averaging 10.8 points and 4.4 assists.
"I felt like all the hard work paid off," Taylor said at the press conference. "We practiced a lot for two and a half weeks."
McCray scored six points and had three assists in the 83-64 victory against Russia. Throughout the tournament, McCray was the second leading scorer for the team and started in five of the seven games she played.
Charles's teammate Maya Moore won National Player of the Year and was McCray's roommate during the tournament.
McCray said she had to guard Moore during scrimmages and that she and Moore had the same strengths.
"She never stops moving," McCray said.
McCray said she texted Moore to congratulate her after she won the ESPY award on Sunday for Best Female College Athlete. McCray considers her a good friend now.
"Before she was my roommate that took forever in the bathroom; now she's in my phone and I text her every day," McCray said.
McCray said winning the gold medal was bittersweet after losing the WNIT finals.
For the upcoming season, McCray will continue to take on the role of being the leader. Even on her two 'weeks off.' McCray said she cante'to
early-morning practices to help cheer on her teammates.
Although the loss of the finals hurt the team, McCray said it was nice that it gave Kansas women's basketball more publicity.
"It really showed how you can bring people in with success," McCray said.
McCray said people were "slowly but surely" paying more attention to Kansas women's basketball, and believed that the first game of the 2009- 2010 season would be much bigger than last year.
While competing overseas, the players were different about staying in touch with their coaches. McCray said she tried to update Henrickson as much as she could through Skype. Taylor said he hadn't spoken to Kansas coach Bill Self about his experience in New Zealand, but said Self was excited for him.
For Taylor, the upcoming season is a chance to better himself as a player after playing overseas.

"I just think other people didn't really know how much I can do," Taylor said at the conference. "I think I had confidence before — it's just helping me because I know I'm going to be around great players this year, too."

KC loses royally against LA Angels
BY JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Erick Aybier broke open a close game with a three-run triple and had seven hits in two games Tuesday, helping the Los Angeles Angels complete a doubleheader sweep with a 10-2 win over the hapless Kansas City Royals.
Aybar used his bat and legs to lift the Angels to an 8-5 win in the opener, with three hits, three runs and an RBI. He did all the damage with his bat in the nightcap, finishing a homer short of the cycle after a bases-loaded triple off Juan Cruz started the Angels' seven-run seventh inning.
Aybar was 7-for-9 in the two games, raising his average this month to.490.
The AL West-leading Angels had 25 combined hits, winning for the
ninth time in 10 games.
Kansas City got a shaky start from Sidney Ponson (1-6), a decent one from Bruce Chen (0-5) and another disastrous night from its bullpen to push its losing streak to eight games. The Royals blew three straight leads in a sweep by Tampa Bay over the weekend, then let two close games get away against the Angels by allowing nine runs in eight innings.
Ponson allowed eight hits and six runs in the first game, including one a wild pitch in the third inning that hit the backstop in the air and caromed all the way back to his glove.
Kansas City trailed 3-2 when Chen left, but the bullpen imploded in the seventh inning, facing 11 hitters as the Angels pushed the lead to 10-2. The Royals bullpen has allowed 27 earned runs over its last 26 innings after posting a 2.78 ERA in the previous 18 games.

Armstrong and teammate Contador finish strong
BY JAMEY KEATEN AND SAMUEL PETREQUIN
Associated Press
BOURG-SAINT:MAURICE, France Lance Armstrong mustered one of his strongest showings yet at this Tour de France on Tuesday, a dazzling burst of acceleration from yesteryear that allowed him to keep second place.
The seven-time champion was so buoyed by the performance that he suggested to The Associated Press he could still contend for the yellow jersey if teammate and race leader Alberto Contador has a "bad day"
Armstrong, speaking after the 16th stage in the Alps, stressed he didn't expect that to happen and only a "big shake-up" would allow for such a scenario.
Contador, the 2007 Tour winner, had to fight to retain the overall lead in the 99-mile stage from the Swiss town of Martigny to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, France, which was won by Mikel Astarloza of Spain.
As Contador tried to keep pace with two attackers on the final climb, the 37-year-old Texan lagged. But after dropping back at least 35 seconds, he popped out of his saddle and recovered lost ground.
"I had no choice... So I waited until we had a steeper section and then I got away with an acceleration," he said.
Contador was impressed, but not surprised.
"It's easy to explain — he's a very great rider," said Contador, who leads his Astana teammate by 1.37. "He was in the past, and he showed it once again."
Contador and Armstrong finished in a small group of race leaders behind Astarloza. The route featured the highest peak this year, the snow-capped Grand-Saint-Bernard pass on the Swiss-Italian border, at 8,113 feet, and its sister the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass, on the Italian-French border.
Armstrong says he's feeling better on his bike than he did during Sunday's entree into the Alps, when Contador dusted him and the entire pack on the ride up to the Swiss ski station of Verbier.
"I made some changes to my position yesterday — I raised the seat height," he said. "So in general, I was pedaling better today."
Armstrong, back at the Tour after $3\frac{1}{2}$ years of retirement, committed himself to help Contador win the three-week race after the Spaniard took the yellow jersey that day.
INVESTIGATION
McNair's toxicology report shows high alcohol level
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Authorities say former NFL star Steve McNair had a blood-alcohol level twice Tennessee's legal limit for driving when his girlfriend shot him to death.
Tennessee Assistant Medical Examiner Feng Li said a toxicology report showed a trace amount of marijuana in the body of Sahel Kazemi. Police say the 20-yearold Kazemi shot McNair July 4 in a Nashville condo before killing herself.
Police say McNair was likely asleep when he was shot twice in the head and twice in the chest. Li said there was no way to tell from the report how long before McNair's death he had been drinking.
Kazemi was arrested for drunken driving in Nashville two days before the shooting. Police video of the arrest showed her telling the officer that she was high.

Rockies edge out Diamondbacks
MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — On May 29, Jorge De La Rosa and the Colorado Rockies were in a free fall. On Monday night, they were the NL wild-card leaders.
What a difference nearly two months makes.
De La Rosa pitched seven strong innings in his fifth straight win and drove in two runs, helping the Rockies defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-6.
"We're being chased now," said Rockies manager Jim Tracy, who took over when Clint Hurdle was fired after an 18-28 start.
Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ryan Roberts, left, and Colorado Rockies' Dexter Fowler look for the call after Fowler stole second base in the fourth inning of a baseball game in Denver Monday. The Rockies defeated the Diamondbacks 10-6.
After Tracy took over, the Rockies slipped to 20-32 before going on an 11-game winning streak. They are now nine-games over .500 (51-42), and have taken a half-game lead on San Francisco, who lost to Atlanta, for the wild card.
The team's revival has paralleled De La Rosa's resurgence. The left-hander started the season 0-6 but has
"With the guys we had coming out of spring training, we could have been doing this from the very beginning," second baseman Clint Barmes said. "It's just nice that it came around. I definitely think we have something special here."
gone 7-1 since. On Monday, he gave up one run on four hits, struck out six and walked one. He had a career-high two hits. "I think my control is much better and I have much better command of my fastball," said De La Rosa (7-7).
ASSOCIATED PRESS
He kept the Diamondbacks in check while the Rockies offense jumped on Arizona starter Doug Davis.
The Diamondbacks scored two in the eighth off of reliever Joel Peralta, and Stephen Drew hit a two-run homer off of Manuel Corpas in Arizona's three-run ninth.
It wasn't enough to keep the Rockies from moving into the NL wild card lead.

Nude video of reporter leaked
BY PAT EATON-ROBB
Associated Press
BRISTOL, Conn. — ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was secretly video-taped in the nude while she was alone in a hotel room and the video was posted on the Internet, her attorney and the network said.
The blurry, five-minute video shows a nude blond woman standing in front of a hotel room mirror. It's unknown when or where it was shot.
Andrews' attorney, Marshall Grossman, said the 31-year-old reporter planned to seek criminal charges and file civil lawsuits against the unknown cameraman and anyone who publishes the material.
"While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent," Grossman said in the statement. "She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future."
A woman answering the phone Tuesday at Grossman's office said he would have no further comment.
Andrews has covered hockey, college football, college basketball and Major League Baseball for the network since 2004, often as a sideline reporter during games.
A former dance team member at the University of Florida, Andrews was something of an Internet sensation even before the video's circulation. She has been referred to as "Erin Pageviews" because of the traffic that video clips and photos of her generate, and Playboy magazine named her "sexiest sportscaster" in both 2008 and 2009.
She last appeared on the network as part of its ESPY Awards broadcast on Sunday, and is scheduled to be off until September, when she will be covering college football, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said.
"Erin has been grievously wronged here," Krulewitz said. "Our people and resources are in full support of her as she deals with this abhorrent act."
It was not clear when the video first appeared on the Internet. Most of the links to it had been removed by Tuesday.
Ephraim Cohen, a spokesman for the video portal Dailymotion, could not confirm the video had actually appeared on his company's site, but said it may have been there months ago.
He said a search for the name of the user who purportedly uploaded the video showed the person had opened an account in February, but had since closed it.
"As far as we can tell, the user took the account and the video down a while ago," he said.
Graham Cluley, who writes a blog for the antivirus software maker Sophos, wrote that several links

purporting to send Internet users to the Andrews video actually sent them to sites with malicious software and computer viruses.
He said some of the hackers actually include a portion of the video on their sites, apparently hoping that the malware gets passed along as users share the link with friends.

Marc Anthony buys minor rights to Miami Dolphins
NEW YORK - Singer Marc Anthony is the latest music star to join forces with the Miami Dolphins.
The team announced Tuesday that he will become a minority owner. Singer Gloria Estefan and her husband, producer Emilio Estefan, also bought a small stake
in the club last month.
Anthony will also perform the national anthem on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" on Oct. 12 against the New York Jets as part of the NFL's celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Anthony is married to singer- actress Jennifer Lopez. He has sold more than 10 million albums and is also an actor.
Stephen Ross, a New York real estate billionaire, completed his
purchase of the Dolphins in January from Wayne Huizenga and quickly set out to rebrand the franchise. He has said he wants to fill up the stands with "a blend of entertainment and winning football."

Violence by baseball could result in felony
DAYTON, Ohio — A minor-league pitcher accused of throwing a baseball during a brawl that struck and injured a fan in the stands had been angry and decided to hurt someone, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Associated Press
In opening statements during the trial of Julio Castillo, assistant Montgomery County prosecutor Jon Marshall said the evidence would show that Castillo, 22, of the Dominican Republic, committed felonious assault.
Castillo, who was pitching for the Peoria Chiefs, is accused of throwing a baseball into the stands during a 10-minute, bench-clearing brawl last July when the Chiefs played the Dayton Dragons.
Dennis Lieberman said that as tensions between the two teams escalated, Castillo threw the ball at the Dayton dugout to keep Dragons' players from rushing the field.
"He decided he was going to hurt someone, anyone," Marshall said. "He had in his hand a hard dense object, a baseball. He decided to hurl that baseball, that object, with great force."
"He throws it at the dugout — at the fencing in front of the dugout — to hit an inanimate object to scare
them away,” Lieberman said. “He does it because he can't talk. He can't speak English. ... He wasn't throwing it at an individual.”
Castillo has been charged with two counts of felonious assault — felonious assault with a deadly weapon and felonious assault causing serious physical harm. He has pleaded not guilty. If convicted on both charges and sentenced to consecutive terms, he could face up to 16 years in prison.
Castillo is on the roster of the Boise Hawks, a Class A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, but is not allowed to play. The Cubs are awaiting the outcome of the trial to determine whether that status will change.
Prosecutors say Castillo was attempting to hit a Dayton player in the dugout, but instead struck the fan in the head. Montgomery County Prosecutor Mathias Heck Jr. has said Castillo threw the baseball to purposely hurt someone, putting spectators that included children in danger. Defense attorney Dennis Lieberman has said the charges aren't justified by the circumstances.
Video from the game shows Castillo throwing a ball, but doesn't show where the ball landed.
Officials in the Midwest League suspended and fined 15 players and both managers for the fight.

Rafael Nadel trains after sidelined knee injury
MADRID — Rafael Nadal is training for the first time since being sidelined by a knee injury. Nadal has been out of action with tendinitis in his right knee since losing to Robin Soderling in the fourth round of the French Open, where the Spaniard had been the four-time defending champion.
Nadal is hoping to resume playing at next month's Montreal Masters. He was unable to defend his Wimbledon title, and Roger Federer won his record 15th Grand Slam trophy and retook the No.1 ranking. Nadal is returning from a leg problem for the third time since October.

Quarterback taken to civil court for sexual assault
BY SCOTT SONNER Associated Press
RENO, Nev. — A woman has filed a lawsuit accusing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of raping her last summer in his penthouse room at a casino in Lake Tahoe during a celebrity golf tournament.
Roethlisberger's lawyer adamantly denied the allegations Tuesday.
"Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone. The timing of the lawsuit and the absence of a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation are the most compelling evidence of the absence of any criminal conduct. If an investigation is commenced, Ben will cooperate fully and Ben will be fully exonerated," David Cornwell said in a statement.
The claim seeks at least $390,000 in damages from the quarterback, who has won two Super Bowls and is one of biggest names in sports. The lawsuit also alleges hotel officials for Harrah's Lake Tahoe went to great lengths to cover up the incident.
Teresa Duffy, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office in Douglas County, which includes part of Lake Tahoe, said no complaints were filed about such an incident either with sheriff's deputies or the district attorney's office.
The woman's lawsuit said she didn't file a criminal complaint because she feared she would be fired and expected Harrah's would side with Roethlisberger.
The woman said she had been promoted from VIP shift manager and was working as an executive casino host when Roethlisberger struck up a friendly conversation at her desk during the golf tournament.
The next day, July 11, 2008, she said he telephoned her to tell her his television sound system wasn't working and asked her to look at it.
She said she was unable to find a technician so she decided to handle it herself because she had been told
how important it was to please celebrities.
In Roethlisberger's room she said she determined the TV was functioning properly but as she turned to leave but the 6-foot-5,240-pound quarterback stood in front of the door and blocked her, the suit claims.
The lawsuit said he then grabbed her and started to kiss her. It said she was "shocked and stunned that this previously friendly man, that appeared to be a gentleman in her previous contacts with him, was suddenly preventing her from leaving, was assaulting her and battering her."
She said she feared that because he was a football player he could or would physically harm her if she tried to fight him off but that she objected and protested several times.
"But instead of stopping, Roethlisberger began fondling plaintiff through her dress and between her legs," the suit said. He then "held her against her will and physically moved plaintiff and pushed her onto his bed" where he raped her, the suit says.
She told him "You don't want to do this," and begged him "I am not on any type of birth control."
Afterward, he asked if there was a security camera in the hallway. She said he then instructed her to claim she had repaired his television if anyone asked why she was in his room.
The lawsuit says the woman required hospitalization for treatment for depression after the alleged attack.
The woman's lawyer, Calvin R. Dunlap of Reno, declined to answer questions about the lack of a criminal complaint and why the civil action was brought a year after the incident allegedly took place.
The lawsuit also names eight Harrah's employees as defendants and alleges the cover-up involved the chief of security at Harrah's Lake Tahoe and was carried out with the
knowledge of John Koster, president of Harrah's northern Nevada operations.
John Packer, spokesman for the hotel-casino, did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.
The suit says Harrah's security chief Guy Hyder gained the trust of her parents while she was hospitalized for depression and persuaded them to give him a key to her home. She said Hyder and others then entered her home and allegedly erased information from her computer and confiscated it.

The lawsuit claims that when the woman first reported the attack to Hyder he dismissed her distress and crying and said she was "over reacting."
The woman said Hyder told her that "most girls would feel lucky to get to have sex with someone like Ben Roethlisberger" and that "Koster would love you even more if he knew about this" because Koster was good friends with Roethlisberger and admired him greatly.
Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett said Tuesday the team is aware of the lawsuit, and "we are gathering information."

BEIJING China has banned Web sites from advertising or linking to games that glamorize violence, another step in China's censorship campaign aimed at ensuring social stability ahead of the 60th anniversary of communist rule on Oct.1.
A notice posted on the Culture Ministry Web site on Monday said games that promoted drug use, obscenities, gambling, or crimes such as rape, vandalism and theft were "against public morality and the nation's fine cultural traditions"
China has the world's largest population of Internet users, more than 298 million,and the world's most extensive system of Web monitoring and censorship.

4. Taxi driver blamed for a child forgotten in his cab
BOSTON — A Boston taxi driver faces a possible suspension after unwittingly driving off with a sleeping 7-year-old girl in the back of his cab, but his supporters say the fault lies with the child's family, not the driver.
The Boston Police Hackney Division which regulates taxis cited Joseph Cohen for violating rules requiring drivers to inspect their cabs for forgotten items after dropping off a fare.
Cohen, 66, faces a 3-day suspension, but has appealed the violation and can continue to drive his cab until a hearing is held. Zanoli said.
A union representing cabbies said the punishment would be unfair and said family members were to blame.
2. Somalis flee fighting in capital city of Mogadishu
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Thousands of Somalis fleeing fighting around the capital have massed in a northern town, trying to cross the Gulf of Aden and sneak into Yemen, the U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday.
The exodus comes as the country's beleaguered president prepares for a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton next week.
The UNHCR said nearly a quarter of a million Somalis had fled their homes since May 7, when newly unified Islamist insurgents launched a concerted attack on Mogadishu, the capital. The U.S. State Department said some of the insurgent leaders had links to al-Qaida.
WICHITA. — An usher at the church where abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was shot to death testified Tuesday that he and the doctor were chatting when a man walked through the door, put a gun to Tiller's head and shot him.
5. First witness testifies in abortion provider's murder
Gary Hoepner was the first witness called at a preliminary hearing for Scott Roeder, a Kansas City, Mo., man charged with murdering Tiller on May 31 at the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, where Tiller volunteered as an usher.
Hoepnner, who testified for about 90 minutes, said he wasn't sure if the weapon used to kill Tiller was real until he saw Tiller fall to the ground. He said he followed the shooter, who he identified as Roeder, out of the church but stopped after Roeder warned him.
3. Radical militants launch attacks in northern Nigeria
ABUJA, Nigeria — Nigerian authorities imposed curfews and security forces poured onto the streets of several northern towns Tuesday after a two-day wave of Islamic militant attacks against police killed dozens of people.
Sporadic gunfire was reported in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, where some of the worst violence occurred Monday.
Violence erupted in the northern city of Bauchi on Sunday and spread the next day to three other predominantly Muslim northern states, as radical militants seeking to impose a Taliban-style regime in northern Nigeria launched a coordinated wave of assaults on police and police stations in the region.
6. Obama threatens to stop spending bill for weapons
WASHINGTON — The White House threatened Tuesday to veto a $636 billion spending bill for the Pentagon, citing funding for F-22 fighters and a much-criticized replacement presidential helicopter. President Barack Obama wants to terminate both programs.
The White House also objected to plans by lawmakers to continue to fund an alternative engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, but didn't seem to explicitly threaten a veto over the $560 million provision.
The vetot threats come as the White House and its Democratic allies in control of Congress wrestle over his demands to shut down weapons programs and other Pentagon procurement.

POLICY
University's alcohol initiatives critiqued
BY DYLAN SANDS
dsands@kansan.com
Researchers familiar with reducing alcohol use on campuses nationwide have said the University's new proposals regarding alcohol might be effective in curbing problems associated with drinking on campus.
The new University Alcohol Task Force, comprised of University administrators, professors and students, has proposed several new policy changes in an effort to avoid alcohol-related problems. The task force was formed because of the deaths of two University students earlier this year.

The task force's proposals include limiting alcohol advertising on campus, requiring incoming students to take alcohol education courses and deciding whether alcohol should be allowed during tailgating events.
must be considered as well.
Traci Toomey, associate professor at the University of Minnesota, has researched attempts to decrease alcohol abuse among college students. She said that enacting policies on campus was a good start, but that the areas surrounding the campus
"What we're finding in the research literature is that with greater control of alcohol that is in place in campuses and surrounding communities and states, we're more likely to see reduction in alcohol abuse and related problems," Toomey said.
Toomey said enforcement of state laws and the regulation of community bars and the ways in which they advertise drink specials are some aspects essential to addressing alcohol use among students.
"One of the reasons this is so hard is there is not one simple answer," Toomey said. "There are multiple things at multiple levels."
Ralph Hingson, director of Epidemiology and Prevention Research at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, said he agreed that the community climate must be addressed when preventing alcohol abuse at the college level.
"It's not just the campus, there is a whole culture of the age group," Hingson said. "A lot of the problems bubble up into the college

ALCOHOL ABUSE STATISTICS
Each year, more than 696,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking.
- More than 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape.
Toomey said campuses could decide to allow alcohol use without causing problems as long as the restrictions were clearly defined and the rules were strictly enforced.
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism's (MIAA) Task Force on College Drinking
"Each campus needs to look at each exemption and the rules for those exceptions need to be very clear," Toomey said.
She said sending mixed messages in allowing alcohol on campus in some cases while barring it at others could be counterproductive in preventing abuse.
"If there is no alcohol use on campus, I'd like to see enforcement of that across the board," Toomey said. "Even at a faculty event, I want to make sure there are some controls in place."
Robert Voas, a senior research scientist at the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation in Maryland, conducted a study of two college campuses that allowed drinking. He said the study was designed to see if allowing drinking on campus contributed to alcohol-related problems among students. He said at each university, one in Utah and one in San Diego, alcohol was served on campus, but strict rules were enforced to prevent minors from drinking.
"In both cases, the systems
seemed well enough controlled that you could not relate drinking on campus to student drinking problems." Voas said.
Voas said both campuses in the study had a large police presence on and around campus. He said campus policies were effective if the surrounding areas were controlled as well.
"When you sit down a campus in the middle of a bar district, it's very hard to show differences based on campus rules," Voas said.
The University Alcohol Task Force has proposed working with the Lawrence community, including bar owners, to avoid student alcohol abuse.
The task force is also considering amending the rights of students in residence halls to allow the search of their rooms without a search warrant if there is probable cause to
suspect alcohol use inside.
Jack Martin, deputy director of University communications, said the policy had been approved by the Student Housing Advisory Board.
"We worked with students to make sure it was consistent and fair," Martin said. "The proposal is very similar to policies that exist at other universities."
Madeline Johnson, Overland Park Junior, was a member of the Student Housing Advisory Board last spring when the proposal was made. She said the entire board approved the new search policy.
"Some people were concerned about the wording," Johnson said. "The residents wanted specific language that said a staff member couldn't look through drawers or open up closets."
The proposal only allows residence hall staff to enter a room,but
a search warrant would be required to open any drawers, closets or other enclosed areas.
Doug Bonney, legal director for ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri, said universities often allowed searches of residence hall rooms for health and safety purposes.
He said it was important for students to know that residence hall officials could search for housing contract violations without a warrant, but that no law enforcement searches could be done without one.
"They are not allowed to circumvent the fourth amendment," Bonney said.
He said the proper way for residence halls to deal with possible legal violations would be to go through the court to obtain a search warrant. Without a search warrant, Bonney said, a student would likely not face legal ramifications.
Toomey said universities must be careful when proposing policies that deal with students' rights.
"Enforcement needs to be consistently conducted and legally conducted," she said. "It should also be respectful and linked together in a systematic approach."

Senate Committee votes to approve Sotomayor
WASHINGTON — Pushing toward a historic Supreme Court confirmation vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 13-6 on Tuesday and approved Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be the first Hispanic justice, over nearly solid Republican opposition.
Just one Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, joined Democrats to support her, although four others have said they'll vote for Sotomayor when her nomination comes before the full Senate next week.
The near-unanimous Republican vote against Sotomayor on the Judiciary panel reflected the choice many GOP conservatives have made to side with their core supporters and oppose a judge they charge will bring liberal bias and racial and gender prejudices to her decisions. Others in the party, however, are concerned that doing so could hurt their efforts to broaden their base, and particularly alienate Hispanic voters.
Hispanic and civil rights groups hailed the panel's vote as a turning point in the march toward embracing racial equality in the United States.

Buck's Kettle Corn

Ray and Paige Buckingham work at their family's kettle corn stand. The family business started when Ray had a dream. Now the kettle corn brings their family closer and makes some money, too.
Local family's kettle corn dream pops up real business
BY STEPH SCHNEIDER
sschneider@kansan.com
People often forget their dreams right when they wake up, but for Ray Buckingham, he made his dream a reality in October 2007.
Buckingham saw his family popping kettle corn at a carnival in his dream, and now he is popping kettle corn for the Lawrence and KU community.
The goal of creating a family-owned kettle corn business would be to work as a family, put away some money in college funds for their kids, Reid, 13, and Heather, 9, and support Christian ministries, Buckingham said.
"I thought it would be a realistic and fun thing to do with the family," his wife, Paige, said.
The idea to start Buck's kettle corn business was because of a dream, but the money to start it all had to
be real.
"We had to sell a good portion of our land in Lecompton to save on supplies, and we get everything at Sam's Club," Buckingham said.
Buck's Kettle Corn was born in the Buckingham's kitchen and has been sold in the Massachusetts Street Christian bookstore, Signs of Life, since January.
"We had a lot of test batches and neighbors as guinea pigs," Buckingham said. "And then we decided to talk to a business for small distribution."
Buckingham said the owner of Signs of Life, Clay Belcher, attended their church, Grace Evangelical Presbyterian, and was more than willing to share space.
"A lot of people come and eat it in Signs of Life during a Bible study," Paige said. "Business has been progressing every 24 hours with this."
Signs of Life employee and daughter of Belcher, Anna, 22 of Lawrence, said that after the recent Sidewalk Sale, people started to ask about Buck's.
This was Buck's first year in the Sidewalk Sale and the Buckingham's business caught the nose of many patrons walking by.
"We would start a new batch and you could just see people coming towards the stand," Buckingham said. "It was by far our most successful day."
Behind this sweet and salty goodness are the working hands of the Buckingham's children, Reid and Heather.
"I love seeing the popcorn fall from the kettle," Heather said, "but I don't like waking up too early to cook it all."

handing out samples, while Reid's is filling the bags.
"My friends ask me all the time if I can hook them up with a free bag," Reid said. "Hopefully I can inherit the business and carry on the tradition."
For Paige, this business is mom, pop, son and daughter together time, she said.
"At our last festival, Heather was using the sample cups to catch the rain dripping off the tent," Paige said. "It gets them away from video games and gives their responsibility."
"Everything is just snowballing, but in a positive way," Paige said. "It's like snow in the middle of July."
The Buckinghams have focused lately on where they want their business to grow, Paige said.
Come early August, Buck's kettle corn will be sold in Checkers grocery store. Buckingham said he just dropped in and asked, and they agreed.
"Lawrence likes local businesses," Buckingham said. "And it benefits us because we are able to monitor our stock."
Students have been Buck's main customers, Buckingham said, mostly
because they love to snack.
Maddie Naas, St. Louis senior, said she thought Buckingham was very likable and a family man after meeting him at Buck's tent at the Sidewalk Sale.
"The family is very excited and passionate about their product," Naas said. "Especially passionate about KU students buying it."
Naas said that she usually doesn't like kettle corn, but that Buck's was just too good.
"It's not too sweet, and not too salty," Naas said. "But the best part is it's a family business; they all help out."
The Buckingham's kettle corn business will expand to the hands of tailgaters this fall.
"We are going to have a tailgating tent along 10th and Mississippi during home football games," Buckingham said. "Passerbys smell it and they can just grab some and go."
The smell of Buck's kettle corn is a huge attraction, Buckingham said.
"But the best part is eating it," he said.

Authorities continue Jackson investigation
BY KEN RITTER AND OSKAR GARCIA
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Authorities searched the sprawling Las Vegas home and medical office of Michael Jackson's personal doctor Tuesday, seeking documents as part of a manslaughter investigation into the singer's death.
Los Angeles police and federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents entered Dr. Conr Murray's home in a gated community while others across town searched Murray's medical offices, Global Cardiovascular Associates Inc.
Michael Flanagan, assistant special agent in charge of the Las Vegas DEA office, said the warrants were sealed and he couldn't say what documents agents were seeking. He said he expected the search would last five hours.
It was the second time in less than a
week that investigators targeted Murray's property. Last week in Houston authorities searched his clinic and storage, Court records show they were seeking evidence of whether the doctor committed manslaughter.
With toxicology reports pending, investigators are working under the theory that Murray gave Jackson the powerful anesthetic propofol to help him go to sleep, and the drug caused his heart to stop, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. Murray told investigators he administered propofol sometime in the early morning of June 25, the day Jackson died, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
The official told AP that Murray left the bedroom where Jackson was sedated and returned to find the star unresponsive.
Police have said Murray is cooperating and have not labeled him a suspect.
When authorities arrived Tuesday, Flanagan said the doctor was at his Las Vegas home located on a cul de sac near the 18th hole of a golf course. Murray kept out of sight of neighbors who milled about outside the house and the reporters the residents had invited into the private community.
Murray's lawyer in Houston, Edward Chernoff, has said the doctor "didn't prescribe or administer anything that should have killed Michael Jackson." Late Monday, his office posted a statement online that said, "things tend to shake out when all the facts are made known, and I'm sure that will happen here as well."
Guidelines issued by the American Society of Anesthesiologists say "during the administration of propofol, patients should be monitored without interruption."

National minimum wage raises to $7.25 per hour
Kansas no longer has the lowest minimum wage in the nation. The state's minimum hourly wage rose to $7.25 Friday.
Former Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed legislation April 23 raising the state's minimum hourly wage to $7.25, effective Jan. 1, but federal legislation superseded it.
The Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007 increased the federal minimum wage in three steps: to $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007; to $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and now to $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.
Melinda Robinson, Hutchinson senior, is a sales floor team member at Super Target, 3201 S Iowa St., and is the newscast director for
KUJH-TV News. She makes less than $8 per hour at both jobs.
"I feel like it was really important for them to raise the minimum wage," Robinson said. "I think it was a really good thing because the more people make, the more they're going to spend."
"I'm just a college kid trying to support myself, and it takes me both of my jobs to do that," Robinson said.
Robinson said the increase was necessary because it was "awful" to think that people were trying to support themselves and their families on minimum wage.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, of the 791,000 Kansans who were paid hourly rates, 31,000 of them earned at or below the federal minimum wage and received a raise on Friday.

Concert: The Wailers and Toots and the Maytals
Getting a free ticket to a show from a friend is always great, but I never expected I would see Bob Marley's old band, The Wailers, and Toots and his band, the Maytals, at one show.
Even after arriving at the Crossroads District in Kansas City, I did not really understand how lucky I was until The Wailers started to play some of Marley's classics and the crowd went wild.
Any fan of ska or reggae needs to see both bands to fully appreciate the styles of music.
The fun atmosphere and familiar tunes kept the crowd dancing for hours, starting with some of the songs Marley is most famous for, such as "Jammin" and "One Love." Although it may not feel the same as hearing Marley himself, the band is still amazing in its own right.
The singer, Elan Atias, led the crowd into a groove that didn't stop between sets.
Toots and the Maytals took the night's performance to a whole different level with their energy. Toots, the lead vocalist, has been
performing since the early '60s and he still leads the crowd in song and dance with a passion. The Maytals backed Toots up with groovy beats and wild solos. After their first grand finale, they came back for an unbeatable encore that left this audience member doubly satisfied.
I have no idea how often The Wailers or Toots and the Maytals come to Kansas from Jamaica, but these bands should never be missed.

There's an alternate reality that stays with us into college and thereafter. A reality that may be a little dimmer and harder to reach, but one that never completely leaves our imagination.
We, like Coraline, the dreamer in this dazzling and creepy stop-motion animated fantasy adventure, still dream of other worlds and characters.
Henry Selick, the director of "The Nightmare Before Christmas," creates a world inhabited by Coraline Jones - voiced by Dakota Fanning - who moves with her parents to an apartment inside of a peculiar 150-year-old house.
DVD: Coraline
Inside the house there are colorful characters, including a Russian circus gymnast - voiced by Ian McShane - whose mustache is as wide as his big belly. Coraline is a curious
child, and is ignored by her parents until she discovers a secret door in her bedroom. And of course, she enters. Why wouldn't she?
On the other side of the door, she's greeted by her Other Mother - a flawless version of her real mother, better in every way except for buttoned-on eyes. There is a more musical button-eyed Other Father too, as well as more unusually impeccable versions of everyone she has left behind - that is, until the horrors behind the superlatives are finally revealed.
"Coraline" is pure visual gratification. The story is magical and the animation is state-of-the-art. The opening scene alone is one of the most intricate, strange and entertaining pieces of animation I have ever seen.
The DVD includes 2-D and 3-D

One guy who definitely knows Shawn isn't a psychic is his best friend Gus, played by Dule Hill.
One of USA Network's hit summer TV shows is back for a new season. "Psych" stars James Roday as Shawn Spencer, a guy who pretends he is a psychic and is taken on by the Santa Barbara Police's as their "Psychic Detective".
Gus juggles a job in pharmaceutical sales while helping Shawn solve crimes. Shawn also works with officers Juliet O'Hara and Carlton Lassiter. Carlton, or as Shawn calls him "Lassie," doubts Shawn is a real psychic and tries to prove he is a fraud in every episode.

Bell talks to himself and focuses on building a model of his hometown. He hallucinates while checking out a broken robot and is stranded on the dark side of the moon. He is rescued by his clone, and then things get weird.

EDITORIAL BOARD
University should raise admission standards
As summer months come to an end and a new cancellor readies to take over at the University of Kansas, it seems like a perfect opportunity to make some positive changes.
The University of Kansas has long been on the verge of greatness. And, while the University has made great strides in some areas, such as research and athletics, there is still one thing keeping it from becoming a top-notch institution.
The current admission standards at the University are a constant flock of unprepared students who are unequipped to succeed here and who will ultimately fail or drop out.
KU currently accepts 92 percent of applicants — a greater percentage than any other school in the Big 12 Conference, making it one of the easiest major public universities in
"We are required to admit students to KU whom we know will likely fail," said a July 2008 report by the Kansas Board of Regents State University Admissions Task Force.
in admission standards, noting that the current standards were proposed more than a decade ago.
The task force asked for a change
"There is a disconnect between what it
takes to be academically successful in college and what our admission standards indicate," the report stated.
The University has asked to increase the admission standards, but Regents, who must decide, have made no action. If the University has been able to identify its own weaknesses, why haven't Regents let it fix them?
KANSAN'S
OPINION
Incoming Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has identified increasing the quality of KU academics as one of her central goals. What better way to improve academics than to improve
the quality of students?
Sure, it may cost a little more. The number of students would likely decrease as the University started to deny entry to some. But, with
better-prepared students come more research grants, scholarships and awards. And successful students ensure top-rate faculty, exponentially increasing the quality of education across the University. Making the University more desirable would increase the number of applicants,
eventually making up for any dips in enrollment.
Scraping through high school with a 2.0 GPA shouldnt be enough to gain admittance.And being in the top-third of one's class is an outdated and unrealistic tool of measuring success.
It should be a privilege to attend the University of Kansas. We should become a place that students from all over the world aspire to attend. Students, faculty and staff shouldn't be satisfied with merely being a safety or back-up school for thousands of students. We should take the highly marketed term "best value" college as an insult. The University shouldn't strive to be the best bang for one's buck. It should strive to be the best.
— Kevin Hardy for the Kansan Editorial Board

Irish 101: Learning to talk as a true Irishman

concludes such a story with some sort of self-affirming sentimental realization.
It's just not my style.
BY KAYLA REGAN
kregan@kansan.com
We all have a friend or an acquaintance who spent a few months in another country and returned to the U.S. with some obnoxious trait they didn't have before leaving. Maybe it's a mild accent. Maybe they like to throw in the occasional slang word they picked up abroad during conversation.
I have already been guilty of all three. Family and friends have
called me out on it, and I'm desperate to cut it out before I get back.
I won't pretend that I've found some sort of enlightenment here I couldn't find in the U.S., or that I'm any smarter than before I left.
I will say though, that I'm very glad I came here and I'll miss Ireland tremendously I've met great people, work for a cause I believe in, learned about my heritage and had an unforgettable time.
Oh yeah, I also learned some slang too.
So, to prevent myself from coming off as too much of a prick when I return to Larryville, U.S.A., here are some Kansan friendly Irish slang words for all to enjoy.
Slainte — (pronounced slawnsha) Gaelic for Cheers
Cheers — Used for anything from thank you to goodbye to the typical drinking salute.
Cráic — (pronounced crack) Fun or party plans. i.e. "We had a load of cráic" or "What's the cráic?"
Your man — referring to anyone you know or can be connected to while in conversation, i.e. "Your man Barack Obama is in the news"
or "your man started a fight in the pub last night"
Knackered — tired
Pissed — very drunk
Jacks/Toilets — bathroom
Fag - cigarette
Hen party — bachelorette party
Stag party — bachelor party
Snog — make out
Lift — ride in an automobile i.e.
"Thanks for the lift"
Ride — sexual act "Thanks for the ride"
Queue — (pronounced like the letter q) line
Session - very intense night of drinking
Crisps - chips
Chips - fries

Grant funds research on effects marijuana has on the brain
BY ROSS STEWART rstewart@kansan.com
The stimulus package has been flowing into the University through grants for research this year with the running total reaching almost $1 million. One of the research studies funded will look at how marijuana affects the brain.
A research program, run by Gonzalo Carrasco, assistant professor of pharmacology and toxicology, is studying the effects of cannabinoids, or marijuana, on the brain's ability to produce serotonin, a hormone that alters a person's mood.
A grant from the National Institute of Health provides funding for the research, and the money comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed by Congress this year.
Some of the study will be conducted in vitre, or cell cultures, and the rest will be in vivo, or lab rats.
Cannabinoids will be administered to lab rats for a set period of time.
The rats will then be forced into withdrawal, during which Carrasco will look at their brains' production of serotonin.
Serotonin regulates mood and plays a major role in several mood disorders including anxiety, depression and schizophrenia.
Carrasco wants to use his research to see how to better treat withdrawal

a completely new idea."
Carrasco said there had not been any mass research on the withdrawal symptoms of cannabinoids. He has already had experience studying withdrawal from cocaine at the University.
Carrasco received $73,208 for one year of research. He will receive twice that, nearly $150,000, for the full two years of research.
"This is the age of cannabinoids," Carrasco said. "I'm excited about it. I really want to study the effects. It's
"The funding is important to me; it partially supports a technician to work in the lab with me." Carrasco said. "We buy expensive chemicals. We wouldn't be able to do it without the support."
The allocations from the stimulus
package are designed to increase employment.
Kevin Boatright, director of communications for research and graduate studies, said that the funding was designed to permit the hiring of new people relatively quickly and that in certain cases the funding was available right now.
"The federal government had money, and a sense of urgency
was there," Boatright said. "It was seen as opportunity for research universities, such as KU, to receive funding rather quickly especially where we have people and facilities that could do what the
federal government was looking for"

The running total of awards the University has received as of this year is $948,000.
Carrasco's $74,000 grant is part of that $948,000.

"Of these grants, they sometimes think that it's only between 5 and 10 percent that are funded." Sereno said. "It used to be around, people
As of May, the University had
turned in 110 grant proposals for research, which are reviewed by a panel at either the NIH or NSF.
If approved, an award is sent out. If rejected, there will be a chance for revision.
The University will learn the status of most of the grant requests
during the fall semester.
Boatright said the University did well when applying for grants it received 85 percent of all NIH funding in the state in a typical year.
Still, not all funding requests are approved.

How to start sea of appli
Making connections and being persistent
BY ANNIE VANGSNES avangnes@kansan.com
August is approaching, and for most students that means moving in seeing old friends and finding a part-time job. After University budget cuts in the midst of a recession, even part-time jobs for students in school may be competitive.
Ann Hartley, associate director of the University Career Center, said that she didn't know if there were going to be fewer campus jobs in the fall, but that budget cuts and the recent increase
in minimum wage had made it a possibility.
The University's minimum wage is $7.50 per hour.
"Well, who's paying for that? They don't give you any money to pay for that." Hartley said.
Hartley, said departments that had budget cuts might have to hire fewer students to pay their current
Hartley said there was a decrease in job postings for off-campus jobs on the UCC's Web site KUCa-reerl Hawk.com.
student employees more. She said another reason for fewer campus jobs could be that students are keeping their jobs longer.
In fall 2008 there were about 3,900 hourly and salaried students employed on campus. There were 70 fewer student job positions available in the 2008- 2009 school year than in the year before, but almost 1,300 more applications to fill those positions.
Hartley said usually 10 to 12 campus offices and about 25 off-campus employers attended the fair, but this year she is only expecting about 25 employers total.
Hartley said a drop in the number of businesses signed up for the UCC's part time job fair on August 19 indicated a worsening economy, which has made the job market more competitive.
"I think if you stick with it at least you'll have a better shot of finally getting something."
"When you have this ma ley said, "you need to make the rest."

"Whenever I was a student I was involved with Student Union Activities and I got to know a lot of people in the Union," Lumsden said.
Hartley said a good habit was to check back at job sites for new postings frequently because they could change daily. She said there were usually more on-campus jobs posted in August because that was when most offices started hiring.
"What I'm afraid of is some people will try for a while and they're not getting any results so they just kind of quit trying," Hartley said, "Whereas, I think if you stick with it at least you'll have a better shot of finally getting something."

The program - officially called the Cash Allowance Rebate System, or CARS - took effect over the weekend at the nearly 20,000 car dealers who have signed up with the Department of Transportation.
The program offers rebates of $3,500 to $4,500 for car shoppers who scrap their old vehicles to buy ones with better gas mileage.
Jim Aten, 68, was at a Toyota dealership in Gladstone, Ore., where he used the government rebate to get a peppy new Scion xB. The car gets about 28 miles per gallon on the highway compared with 17 for his old Ford Starcraft, a monster of a vehicle.
Without the incentive "I would probably keep driving it," Aten said. He said he was concerned that the government was spending money on the program, but acknowledged, "Maybe it will jump-start the car industry a little bit."
Here are the program's rules: The trade-in vehicle must be a 1984 model or newer and must get 18 mpg or less in the government's combined highway/city ratings.
Congress passed CARS earlier this year to help boost flagging sales and get some of the filthiest cars and trucks off the nation's roads.
Nationally, new vehicle sales are down 35 percent for the first half of the year, and the downturn has been devastating for automakers and dealers alike.
Buyers can get $3,500 for a new car if it gets at least 4 mpg more than the old one. That rises to $4,500 if the new vehicle gets at least 10 mpg more.
For SUVs, pickup trucks or minivans, owners can get a $3,500 rebate if the new vehicle gets at least 2 mpg more than the old vehicle, $4,500 if it gets at least 5 mpg more.
Congress has set aside $1 billion to remove about 250,000 vehicles through CARS.
As of Tuesday, the government had dispensed about $17 million, for 4,026 new vehicle sales, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. More than half were cars; the rest were pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans.
The program ends on Nov. 1, or earlier if the money runs out.

Lawrence has many aspects that make it unique; it is rich in history, people and undiscovered restaurants. Some of these eateries are tucked away in a corner on Massachusetts Street, or can be passed in a small shopping strip.
Local restaurants feature unique flavors, styles
A.B.'S
LAWRENCE
Here's a look at some Lawrence originals to keep in mind next time your stomach starts to rumble.
A. B.s, a locally owned crepe and sandwich shop at 17 W. 9th St., was founded five years ago by the owner, A.B. Riales.
"I knew some things about crepes from previous employment at other restaurants," Riales said. "I thought it would be a good idea to have a place dedicated to making crepes."
And that's what he does. A.B.'s serves up anything from the typical dessert crêpe to crêpes such as the Italiano, which is pizza in a crêpe, Riales said.
Riales said he dedicated a lot of time and effort to his business. He only has two other employees, and they work around the clock hand-making crepes in a giant, flat waffle iron. Riales said he also cared about
the clientele, and he tried to ask about the customers' day.
Abigail Jones, Piper senior, said that she loved AB's not just for the food, but also for how friendly the staff was.
"I love the crepes, they are seriously melt in my mouth," Jones said. "Every time anyone I know comes to Lawrence to visit, I take them to A.B.'s."
Crêpes range from $5-10.
This local barbecue restaurant had a not-so-typical start. It began with a father and son cooking barbecue in a Lawrence church parking lot. After several moves, they then settled down in a shopping center at 19th and Haskell Streets.
GRAN-DADDY'S QUE
The restaurant is the only barbecue restaurant in Lawrence to use an outdoor smoker. The employees nicknamed it the "rib dome," an eight-foot monstrosity with four levels and six sides, located behind the building.
Jason Parker, caterer and cook at Gran-Daddy's for about 10 years, said the most popular menu item was called "Da Bomb," or shredded beef brisket covered in the restaurant's homemade sauce.
The special barbecue sauce is sweet, tangy and spicy, and Parker said customers used it in place of ketchup.
Dinners range from $8-10,depending on how many sides and how many pounds of meat,Parker said.
The food is also reasonable, and it has a daily cheeseburger basket special for only $5.50.
CONROY'S PUB
Originally called Kasper's, Conroy's Pub is a "divey" restaurant that is a lot like "Cheers," said Eva Nelson, server at Conroy's. Conroy's, located at 3115 W. 6th St., offers typical bar food, such fries, nachos and chicken wings, along with a homemade pork tenderloin sandwich.
It has a juke box, a pinball machine and old-school video games. Another fun aspect of the restaurant is that it holds late-night poker tournaments.
Alicia Siegel, Scottsdale, Ariz., senior, said she would recommend Cafe Beautiful to anyone.
Tucked away in an upstairs building at 7th and Massachusetts Streets, Café Beautiful is as unique as the food it serves. The food, known as "Asian fusion," is prepared by each customer's own personal chef in an intimate setting of just four other tables. Although pricey — about $65 a person — it delivers an atmosphere where students can enjoy a private, classy dinner.
because the menu is chef's choice.
CAFÉ BEAUTIFUL
"It is different experience, and you will be there for at least two hours." Siegel said. "But the food is the best food I have ever had."
Advanced seating is highly recommended. Alcohol is not served, but patrons can bring their own.
The dinner is a six-course meal, but customers won't know what they'll be eating until they get to the restaurant.
LA FAMILIA CAFE
For 20 years, this restaurant at 733 New Hampshire St. has been cooking authentic Mexican food. Antonio Garcia, assistant manager and nephew to the owner, said his aunt started the restaurant with a little taco and hamburger stand.
Garcia said his aunt still cooked for the restaurant from time to time. He said she was famous for her "Jenny sauce," or cream cheese sauce put on the spinach enchiladas and her homemade tamales.
Katie Armstrong, Atlanta junior,
said she had heard from friends that
La Familia was a great restaurant. She
tried it out last year, and said that she
has been in love ever since.
"The food, atmosphere and their chips and salsa is excellent." Armstrong said. "I love the prices too. You get a lot of food for one person."
The food ranges from $6-8 per meal.

CAMPUS
Construction to continue during the fall semester
BY HANNAH DECLERK hdeclerk@kansan.com
Construction around campus will continue into the fall semester.
The construction, part of individual project developments around the University, includes renovations to campus buildings and the expansion of parking lots, along with the construction of new developments around campus.
Mark Reiske, associate director of design and construction management, said the company was working to have the majority of the construction completed before the fall semester, but said some of the larger construction projects would not be.
Reiske said the University's construction projects that would continue into the fall semester were located behind Bailey and Strong Hall, and along 11th, 12th and Indiana Streets.
The remodeling of Anschutz Library and Allen Fieldhouse are also part of the campus construction.
The remodeling of Anschutz Library includes masonry work, new windows, walls and roof repair.
The remodeling of Allen Fieldhouse includes a new practice gym, new entryways, remodeling of old hallways and a new parking garage.
Reiske said the remodeling of Anschutz Library was almost complete they only need to place interior sheet rock on the south wall of the main floor. Despite the construction, Anschutz remains open to students. Reiske also said the Fieldhouse would be up and ready in time for basketball season.
"Most of the construction is pret.
try much on schedule," Reiske said. "The only way we would have delays is if it rains for weeks straight."
The construction behind Bailey and Strong Hall is part of a long-term plan to fix all the University's tunnel systems.
The tunnel systems carry steam and electricity to campus buildings, and are efficient in that they are completely underground, Reiske said. Because the construction is located behind the main campus, Reiske said, it should not bother students.
"It will not be visible to main campus," Reiske said. "And there will only be a small amount of tunnel work behind Bailey Hall."

Danny Kaiser, assistant director of parking and transit, said the expansion of parking lots in the fall would occur only on lot 35 behind the Military Science building.
All other lot construction, including more parking spots for mopeds, will be finished in time for fall.
Kaiser also said that construction behind Bailey would close lot 3, but that it shouldn't be a problem for students because it is a Gold Lot for faculty only.
"The only lots that will be blocked off in the fall semester will be on campus and include blue and gold lots," Kaiser said. "The only
people who will be affected by parking will be faculty, and students will have their regular parking lots."
Kaiser said construction on the Oread Inn, a new hotel development located near the Kansas Union, would also continue through the fall semester causing Indiana Streets between 11th and 12th to be blocked from traffic. But he said there would be a designated bus lane.
Sergeant Bill Cory of the Lawrence Police Department said students should not be too worried about the construction sites but should be aware of it.
"Pay very close attention to different speed limits in work zones," Cory said. "You do not want to hit a construction worker."
Cory also said that students should search for alternative routes if their street was closed.

SCIENCE
Astronauts grateful for time spent on station
BY MARCIA DUNN
Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. After 11 days together in orbit, space shuttle Endeavour undocked from the international space station on Tuesday and began its trip home, leaving behind a bigger and more energized outpost.
Endeavour's departure broke up the biggest orbiting crowd ever: 13 people altogether in space. Seven astronauts were headed home aboard the shuttle. Six remained on the station.
"Six seems like a very small number just now," observed space station astronaut Michael Barratt.
The two spacecraft parted company 220 miles above the Indian Ocean and the shuttle is expected to land in Florida on Friday.
Shuttle commander Mark Polansky thanked the station residents for being "tremendous hosts."
"It was just a wonderful, wonderful experience to be part of the first crew of 13 people up here and to have representatives from all the international partners, which made it a very special event." Polansky said just before the hatches were closed.
Thanks to the astronauts' efforts, the space station is now 83 percent complete, with almost 700,000 pounds of mass.
The astronauts will inspect their shuttle before landing to make sure the thermal shielding was not pierced by micrometeorites or space junk.
Seven more shuttle flights are planned over the coming year to complete the orbiting outpost; the next one is targeted for the end of next month. The space station's population temporarily will swell to 13 again then. An unmanned supply ship, meanwhile, will arrive at the complex Wednesday.

Group opposes new crosswalk for the blind
BY DEREK ZARDA
dzarda@kansan.com
Crosswalk signals should be seen and not heard.
That's the sentiment the local area chapter of the National Federation of the Blind plans to express in an upcoming meeting with city officials August 15. Their concern is the recently installed Accessible Pedestrian Signal at the intersection of Sixth and Massachusetts Streets.
The city installed the automated voice APS in April after a blind citizen requested it in writing for the northeast crosswalk at the intersection.
Jim Canaday, vice president of the Douglas County Area Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind, said the APS was hurting citizens who were blind more than helping them.
"A blind person who is travelling independently uses his or her ears to tell when its time to cross and when it's safe to cross," Canaday said.
He said the traffic light may turn green but someone may be doing a right turn on red or may not be stopping on a red light. The automated noise masks the vital information he and other blind individuals use to keep themselves from being hit by a car, Canaday said.
Currently, an automated voice repeats the phrase "Crosswalk is on" when the walking signal turns on at the intersection.
Accessible Pedestrian Signals have been mass marketed since the mid-1970s for use in the U.S. as well as in parts of Europe and Asia, according to the National Cooperative Highway Research Project. The types of APS models available range from chirping and beeping noises to automated voices to vibrating surfaces, all of which are designed to provide additional information to the blind community. Canaday disagrees.
"It also gives a negative image about blind people," Canaday said. "The general public see that signal and they think that blind people need that."
Kayla Richardson, Wichita sophomore, is blind said she had used the crosswalks that had APS devices that beeped when the walk signal was on, but only every once in a while.
"I think they are useful but sometimes they can't be as reliable," Richardson said.
Richardson said that although she also preferred using her ears to determine when it was safe to cross streets, she did not agree with the NFB's stance on the issue of the APS.
David Woosley, a traffic engineer for the city Lawrence, said this was the first time the city had received this kind of accessibility request, but said that his department was aware of the type of equipment available. He said he had heard from the individual who made the request that it did make crossing the street easier at that particular intersection.
Canaday said he had no ill will toward the city and said he believed they were doing a good thing in accommodating a citizen's request.
"It surprises a lot of people that the organized blind people are opposed to this and have been fighting this for years," Canaday said.

Highway Patrol will enforce left lane law
BY MIKE BONTRAGER mbontrager@kansan.com
Highway patrol officers are pulling drivers over for driving in the left lane without the intention of passing another vehicle outside city limits on highways such as I-35 and K-10.
The "left lane law" has been in place for years, but law enforcement had not been enforcing it. From July 1,2009 to July 1,2010,law enforcement will be pulling drivers over for driving in the left lane,but not passing another vehicle,to educate them about the law.
After July 1, 2010, any driver driving in the left lane without proper cause will be issued a citation.
The cost for driving in the left lane will be a $60 fine and $82 in court costs.
The law states that unless passing another vehicle, driving in the left lane on highways outside city limits is illegal. The only exceptions are if a driver is making a legal left turn or is directed by traffic control signal or law, such as the move-over law that requires vehicles to move away from emergency or maintenance vehicles displaying flashing lights.
Michael Stock, Merriam senior, said he used the highway at least two hours every day and that he was aware of the left lane law, but thought it was unnecessary.
"I understand the reasoning behind it," Stock said. "There's kind of a rule of the road that kind of doesn't need to be enforced."
Stock said he thought most people didn't know about the law.
"I don't think they've done a good enough job advertising it," Stock said. "I've mentioned it to other people and they all just kind of laughed at it and they've never heard anything about it."
Stock said that he would be angry if he was pulled over because of the law and that he thought there were more important problems law enforcement should focus on.
Captain Tim Hull of the Missouri Highway Patrol said the left lane law had been actively enforced in Missouri since he started in 1983. Hull
said the Missouri Highway Patrol made 890 citations for the left lane law in 2007.
Chance Dibben/KANSAN
He said the left lane law not only decongested traffic, it also allowed safer conditions for officers and emergency vehicles.
"If you've got people just driving along there in the left lane sometimes it creates a hazard for us trying to over-take another vehicle." Hull said.
MASSAKEETY
Hull said it was important that the law be publicized in order for people to follow it.
Mark Engholm, Kansas Highway Patrol trooper, said the law was important because highways were designed to move large amounts of traffic down the road.
"When we have more than one lane of traffic," Engholm said, "traffic should be able to pass efficiently and we haven't really had that happen."
Engholm said that the purpose of the left lane was to allow faster traffic to pass and that if drivers were moving slowly in that lane, it defeated the purpose of a two-lane highway.
A stream of motorists drive in the left lane of US-69 outside Lawrence Monday afternoon. While a "left lane law," which provides that the left lane of a highway be used only for passing, has been on the books for years, the law was largely unenforced until now.
He said that because of these problems with congestion, the state had to enact several laws that he considered common sense laws.
Another law Engholm gave as an example was the law about moving over for emergency vehicles on the shoulder of the road.
"That would seem kind of a common courtesy and a safety deal," he said.
drivers who violated the law to educate them about its purpose.
Engholm said the Kansas Highway Patrol was already pulling over
Engholm said he knew there would be a campaign to advertise the change in enforcement, but wasn't sure how much would be done because of budget concerns. He said the Kansas Department of Transportation had been discussing putting up signs along the highway.

Mother accused of murder and cannibalizing newborn
BY PAUL J. WEBER Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — The father of a newborn baby who authorities say was mutilated, killed and cannibalized by his mother said Tuesday he wants to see her executed.
Scott W. Buchholz told The Associated Press that Otty Sanchez, the mother of $3\frac{1}{2}$-week-old Scotty Wesley Buchholz-Sanchez, seemed fine in the days before the killing, even though they argued. However, he said she told him she had been diagnosed with postpartum depression and was going to be admitted to a hospital for treatment.
Sanchez's relatives told The San Antonio Express News that she had been diagnosed with postpartum psychosis, which can cause delusional thoughts and hallucinations.
Sanchez, 33, is charged with capital murder in the baby's death and could face the death penalty.
When authorities found the infant's body Sunday, Sanchez told officers the devil made her do it, police said.
"She killed my son. She should burn in hell." Buchholz said.
Otty Sanchez's aunt, Gloria Sanchez, told The Associated Press that her niece had been "in and out" of a psychiatric ward, and that the hospital called several months ago to check up on her.
Sanchez was hospitalized Tuesday with self-inflicted stab wounds and was being held on $1 million bail. Police have said she does not have an attorney. Authorities found the baby with three of his toes chewed off, his face torn away and his head was severed.
Sanchez moved out of the couple's shared home July 20. On Saturday,
she showed up to see Buchholz at his parents' house. She became agitated when he told her he needed a copy of the baby's birth certificate and Social Security card, Buchholz said.
Sanchez ran out of the home with her son in a car seat, threw the car seat into the front passenger seat of her car and sped away without buckling him in, the San Antonio Express-News reported. She left behind a diaper bag, her purse and her medication.
Buchholz's mother called 911, and a sheriff's deputy investigated the incident as a disturbance, according to court records. The next day, authorities said, she killed her son.
Officers called to Sanchez's house at about 5 a.m. Sunday found her sitting on the couch screaming "I killed my baby! I killed my baby!" San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said.

Schwarzenegger cuts from programs to save
BY JUDY LIN Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger made additional cuts to child welfare programs, medical care for the poor and AIDS prevention efforts Tuesday as he signed an $85 billion compromise spending plan that he called "the good, the bad and the ugly."
Schwarzenegger used his line-item veto authority to save an additional $656 million that will let the state restore a reserve fund he says is needed for tough times.
The vetoes include $80 million from child welfare programs; $61 million in county funding to administer Medi-Cal, California's version of Medicaid; $52 million from AIDS prevention and treatment; $50 million to Healthy Families, the
low-cost health insurance program for poor children; and $6.2 million more from state parks.
Schwarzenegger called the budget package aimed at balancing the state's budget through June 30, 2010, the toughest since he took office in 2003.
Schwarzenegger's finance director, Michael Genest, warned Tuesday that even with the revised budget deal, California likely will need to borrow $8 billion to $10 billion to cover its cash needs this year, and the state is likely to face another $7 billion to $8 billion deficit in the 2010-11 fiscal year.
Matt Fabian, a bond analyst at Municipal Market Advisors, based in Concord, Mass., said California's plan was filled with accounting tricks and will likely do little to improve the state's poor credit rating.

HEALTH
Students exercise around Lawrence
BY DAVID UGARTE
dugarte@kansan.com
Trying to find a gym with the right hours, equipment and space to exercise is not always easy. The Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center is a popular choice for working out, but some students find it too crowded. There are options for students looking for places to work out other than the recreation center.
Gayla Fields, Bucklin senior, has worked at the Community Building, 115 W. 11th St., for 11 months. Fields said she did not see a lot of students use the Community Building, a free community center, but that some came to play basketball sometimes.
"I think a lot of people don't actually know about the community center," Fields said. "But there's also less equipment here than the student Rec Center."
Fields said she used to use the Ambler recreation center once in a while, but did not go regularly. She now pays for membership to work out with Maximus Fitness and Wellness, 2339 Iowa Street.
"Id rather spend money on membership at a gym and have new equipment readily available than wait 30 minutes for a treadmill". Fields said.
Morgan Norwood, Lawrence senior, has worked at the Holcom Park Recreation Center, 2700 W 27th Street, for about five years. She said many University students used their facilities.
"Mostly, they work out in the gym because it's a lot less crowded than the KU Rec Center." Norwood said.
Brittany Morin-Mezzadri, Bellingham, Mass., graduate student, uses the Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Drive. She said she used to use the Robinson Center pool, but spent so much time on campus for schoolwork that she did not want to spend any more time there working out.
Norwood said it was easier for students living near Holcom Park to go there instead of traveling all the way to the recreation center. She said it was also more convenient for students who were not enrolled in summer classes, because they would have to pay to use the recreation center, while Holcom Park is free.
"You get to be not a KU student here," Morin-Mezzadri said. "It's a nice swimming environment. There's
way more hours than Robinson, you can come here at 5 a.m. or 8 p.m."
Morin-Mezzadri also said the aquatic center was open all day and on weekends, while Robinson was only open two hours certain days.
Drew Schelar, Lawrence junior, is working at the aquatic center for the first time this summer. It costs $4 for a day pass at the aquatic center, $20 for a 30-day pass, or $162 for a one-year pass. Schelar said he went there to swim three or four times a week, and enjoyed the many lanes available in the center.
"It's a good facility to work at," Schelar said. "The KU Rec Center is all right, but it could use some renovations."
Schelar said that the Indoor Aquatic Center was a newer facility, but that only a handful of students used it during the summer.
Morin-Mezzadri said her apartment complex had a gym, but said that there was hardly any equipment to use and that it was a small, uncomfortable space.
She said the University facilities were convenient because they were free for students and had lots of equipment.

INTERNATIONAL Sarkozy rushed to hospital after falling while jogging

Upon his collapse, Sarkozy was rushed by helicopter to a military hospital. His office denied the president had lost consciousness in the episode. The Elysee Palace statement followed reports from
members of Sarkozy's government and his chief of staff, who had indicated that Sarkozy had lost consciousness.
Sarkozy, an avid jogger and cyclist, was forced to interrupt his run and "lie down with the help of an aide,"the statement said. A presidential doctor who is with Sarkozy at all times sounded the alert and administered initial treatment.

Chase for cable customers speeding up in Lawrence
BY KRISTEN LISZEWSKI
kliszewski@kansan.com
Students will soon have another option for digital cable service besides Sunflower Broadband.
AT&T U-Verse television service is becoming more widely available for Lawrence residents. The U-Verse bundle is a service that combines high-speed Internet, wireless networking, TV packages from more than 300 channels, DVR and high definition TV.
Marisa Giller of AT&T corporate communications said that the company's installation rates varied week to week based on customer demand, complexity of the installation, number of TVs on each install and whether the individual is an existing or new customer.
She said they did not announce future AT&T U-Verse plans until available to a new area, but were continuously evaluating the community needs and were committed to investing in Lawrence and the
state as a whole.
Rod Kutemeier, general manager of Sunflower Broadband said he did not know why AT&T waited so long to deploy U-Verse service in Lawrence, but said it could be because Sunflower customers were happy with their cable and Internet service as it was now.
"Our low pricing and good service has always been why people choose us over the competition" Kutemeier said. "We don't do contracts so you're not locked into anything, unlike other services.
He said Sunflower was welcoming the new competition.
"We're a local company that has the same channels AT&T offers," Kutmeier said. "We dropped our rates and are more affordable, so now AT&T is responding by launching another TV service in our area."
Sunflower is preparing to launch a new Internet product that will be available only to students for the month of August and then available to the general public in September.
The new product is called Palladium and is designed for the optimization of video downloads from Web sites such as Hulu, Netflix and other video streaming sites.
Kutemeier said Palladium was created because of customer concerns about bandwith overage charges.
AT&T U-Verse allows customers to build their own bundle, meaning for $49 per month they can upgrade their home phone plan with high-speed Internet, wireless and DirectTV.
He said it would not have overage fees and would cost $49.95 per month.
To learn more about the AT&T U-Verse package visit www.att.com. For more information about Sunflower's new Palladium service visit Sunflowerbroadband.com.

Students play DDR volleyball for credit in unusual courses
BY KRISTEN LISZEWSKI kliszewski@kansan.com
It's a tall order to expect students to read the entire 416-page undergraduate catalog, but students can find some unique classes the University offers.
Take, for example, the astronomy course "The Quest for Extraterrestrial Life" and the activities course, Dance, Dance, Revolution."
The University offers a broad spectrum of specialized courses that can fulfill humanities, science, even foreign language requirements for graduation.
Heidi Hartle, Overland Park senior, said she found a class called "Unveiling the Veil" through one of her African-American studies courses. The class is solely dedicated to the meaning of the veil in society. In the course description, it is described as a class that examines "the ways in which the veil has become a symbol of privacy, cultural identity, religious assertion, resistance and liberation, besides being a symbol of constraint, oppression, backwardness, and sexual mystery."
"It sounds like a really interesting concept to understand the different veils in different cultures, behind it and above it," Hartle said.
Hartle said she enrolled in the class not only because it was unique, but because it fulfilled one of the class requirements for her African-American Studies minor.
Although some specialized courses require prerequisites, they are typically common prerequisites that most students must attain their freshman and sophomore years. To enroll in "Legend and Fantasy," a 300-level English course, the only prerequisite is an introductory English class. This class is might be for students interested in medieval Europe, as it examines the Arthurian legends and folklore and how they have been reinterpreted in today's society.
Another class that fulfills a humanities credit and has no prerequisite requirements is the history class "Conspiracies and Paranoia in American History." If a student needs a humanities credit, then this 300-level course covers everything from the Salem witch trials to UFOs.
to Kennedy's assassination.
Roberta Freund-Schwartz, associate professor of historical musicology, teaches "The History of Rock and Roll." She said that although the class was a music course, she almost never saw music majors enroll it, but rather a variety of majors and randomly enough, a large group of graduate architecture students.
"It's a really fun class to teach," Freund-Schwartz said. "It's taking the same concept of listening to your classical masterworks pieces, but just using a different repertoire."
Freund-Schwartz said the class went through a quick survey of the earliest music that came into the U.S. such as African-American and classical music, and how these genres impacted American popular music. The course tracks ragtime blues and jazz through the 1950s to where they combined into rock and roll.
The University offers classes far different from music history, too. "Sand Volleyball," typically offered for only half a semester when the weather is nice outside, not only allows time for exercise, but fulfills a credit at the same time.
Blaine Gambrel, 2009 graduate, said he took Sand Volleyball in the Spring because he needed one credit to graduate and wanted it to be something fun and different.
Another not-so-average class offered this semester is "History of the Samurai." This class covers the history of the samurai and their dominance in Japanese society for almost half of Japan's recorded history.
"I never played volleyball before and this class not only made me better at it, but it was nice knowing I was getting credit for something so fun," Gambrel said.
Jon Thomas, Plainfield, Ill., senior,
said he heard about the class from a
friend.
"My friend told me it was the most interesting class he's taken at KU so far," Thomas said. "So I thought 'Why not?' It sounds cool and fulfills a credit I need."
As many students have found, sometimes it pays off to skim through the undergraduate catalog.

Former volleyball star to compete in France
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
For four years, Emily Brown's focus was perfecting her game in volleyball. For the next few weeks, she'll be perfecting her French.
"I took it in high school, but I don't remember it at all," Brown said.
The former Kansas volleyball star is working on her fluency to prepare for her first full season of professional volleyball in France. The Baldwin City native will be playing for the Nantes Atlantique volleyball team from August through May.
Brown played for Kansas from 2004 to 2007. For the first two years Brown was an outside hitter, then developed the role of setter as well.
In volleyball, the setter is the equivalent of a quarterback in football because the setter makes the decision on who hits the ball. The outside hitter attacks and tries to score on the opponent.
After her college volleyball career ended in 2007, Brown signed with "Bring It Promotions," a professional volleyball agency. Brown said the agency looked at overseas teams that were interested in American players. She had received an offer from a team in Finland and talked to an American playing on the team to get a feel for what to expect.
"I wasn't that excited about being in a meter of snow and 21 hours of nighttime, and France was more of my style," Brown said.
Brown will be provided with a monthly salary and an apartment while playing for Nantes Atlantique. Brown said that the salary for players depended on the country and
the level of competition and said hers would be enough to live on.
Although this is Brown's first full season,this will be her second time playing professional volleyball overseas.
From January 2009 to May 2009, Brown competed for the club Doprastav Volejbal Klub in Bratislava, Slovakia.
"It wasn't too terrible, but you could definitely tell you weren't in Kansas anymore," Brown said.
Brown said she knew a few words in Slovakian, but was able to get by speaking English. While playing for the team, Brown said, her team age ranged from high schoolers to 29-year-olds.
"The coach was fluent in English and most of the players could hold

In anticipation of football season, Perkins provided his view on the
The Kansan had the opportunity to interview Athletics Director Lew Perkins July 22. Perkins commented on football and the men's and women's basketball teams. A common theme that emerged from the interview was the improved facilities, success in recruiting and recent player achievements that put Kansas sports programs in an excellent position to win games and contend for championships.
Perkins said the return of senior quarterback Todd Reesing and senior running back Jake Sharp as veterans on offense was important. But Perkins also said senior safety Darrell Stuckey and two new defensive coaches would help to improve the defense.
new Jayhawk's practice facility and the progress of the team. Perkins said a strong defensive unit,coupled with a powerful offense,could set the tone for a successful season.
"We're going to score," Perkins said. "If we can make some stops we're going to be at an advantage."
"I think everybody is looking to see what we're going to be on defense," Perkins said.
Perkins said it was not only Big 12 South opponents that brought a sharp offensive attack, but also Big 12 North teams, such as Colorado and Missouri, that were employing high-scoring spread offenses. Last year, Big 12 Conference opponents scored an average of 36.6 points per game against the Jayhawks.
"We know when we line up against the Big 12, it's the toughest conference in the country to play in," Perkins said.
The athletics department also released details of the 2011 football schedule Monday, which included

a road trip to Atlanta to play Georgia Tech and non-conference home games against Northern Illinois and University of Texas at El Paso. Perkins said the schedule builds on the team's efforts to strengthen its non-conference schedule.
"Each year we are taking a step forward," Perkins said.
Construction crews are working on renovations in Memorial Stadium this year that include the placement of artificial turf. Perkins said a new video score board, originally scheduled to be in place this year, would be
in place for the 2010 football season, with installers starting work immediately after the end of this season. The new score board will replace the MegaVision in the south end zone.
These renovations follow the team's opening of the practice facility, located next to Memorial Stadium, last year. Perkins said "probably about 10 to 15" universities had visited the practice facility, and that kids who committed to coming to Kansas said they were impressed with the facility.
Perkins said all of this contributed to an expectation of success in
football, the newest tone-setter in Kansas sports.
"We have the community support," Perkins said. "It's all up to us."
"I think we have all the necessary tools to be a great team."

open a new practice facility this fall in the Wagon Student Athlete Center, a result of the space gained by the football program's move to the Anderson Family Football Complex. Hanging from a wall in this new spacious hall is a slice of
the 2008 Final Four court, where the men's basketball team emerged as national champions. And now following the women's program's run to the Women's National Invitational Tournament final, both have big expectations.
Perkins said the Jayhawks' participation in the WNIT final was a building block for both community and student support. Perkins said the WNIT experience was "very positive" for the program.
"Our kids got an opportunity to play for a national championship."
Perkins said. "To me, that's pretty desirable. That's pretty meaningful."
Perkins said the women's basketball team should be better this year because last year's team is still intact and will be adding talented players.
"Coach Henrickson and her staff have done a magnificent job of recruiting." Perkins said.
Perkins also pointed to the success
of senior forward Danielle McCray in the Women's World University Games, in which McCray was the second-leading scorer for Team USA in it's gold medal performance. Perkins said the tools were there to have success for women's basketball.
"Being one of the elite programs in the country,you can never have enough players."
"We think this could be one of our best years ever," Perkins said. "I think we're going to see a real push toward women's basketball."
Perkins said that the men's program was one that "a lot of people have a lot of high hopes" for, and that the focus should now turn toward winning games to get to where experts and fans alike have the team placed — the Final Four.

Perkins said sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor's performance for Team USA in the Under-19 World Championships, in which Taylor led the team in scoring, proves that the more great players a team has, the better a team is going to be.
"I think everybody's going to contribute on this basketball program," Perkins said. "Being one of the elite programs in the country, you can never have players."
Perkins said Kansas coach Bill Self did a great job of recruiting, and that includes senior guard Sherron Collins and junior
center Cole Aldrich staying on the team.
"The two best recruits we got were two veterans, Cole and Sherron," Perkins said.
Perkins described the team for the upcoming year as "very, very exciting".
"I think we have all the necessary tools to be a great team," Perkins said.

Briscoe to be reinstated for fall football season
Coach Mark Mangino issued a statement on the status of preseason All-Big 12 first team selection Dezmon Briscoe at the Big 12 media day on Tuesday.
Briscoe, who had 1,407 receiving yards last season, was suspended for spring practices before Mangino reinstated him. Sports.espn.go.com said Briscoe was suspended for "an undisclosed violation of team rules."
"There are several players that have work to do," Mangino said. "And I tell them, 'It's pretty simple. You get your work done you're with us in August. You don't get your work done, you're not.' And we don't cry about it and we don't feel bad about it. We go to the next player. But I don't anticipate any issues."

Looking ahead, without Crawford
Will Sharp, Sands and Briscoe perform?
By most accounts, Jocques Crawford's departure from the Kansas football team was a foregone conclusion and welcome for all parties involved.
The junior college transfer failed to live up to his lofty personal expectations — he fell 1,768 rushing yards short of his own preseason prediction — and even though he was the first Jayhawk to score in 2008, he would do so just three more times that season.
Reports of a strong showing in spring practices went for naught when Crawford was suspended for the spring football game and the subsequent practices for a violation of team rules — his second transgression in a short period of time under coach Mark Mangino's jurisdiction.
What exactly those transgressions were are still unclear and not used in sentences without terms like "apparently," "allegedly" and "reportedly." What is certain is that this breakup is both in Crawford's and the team's best interest. It's not you, it's me. We're growing apart. I love you, but I'm not in love with you.
With Crawford gone and fellow 2008 backup running back Angus Quigley tackling rather than being tackled, the sweepstakes to supplement senior lake Sharp this fall just got interesting. Sharp is one of, if not the fastest player on the team, and

as he exhibited in his breakout game against Iowa State (79 rush yards, 107 receiving, 2 TDs) and against Colorado (118 rush yards, 3 TDs) and Kansas State (181 rush yards, 76 pass yards and 4 TDs). The man is a game changer.
But at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, Sharp is not an every-down back. After an inauspicious string of performances during non-conference play (26 carries, 86 yards) Sharp went on to average 25 carries per game in Big 12 play and in the Insight Bowl. But remove the outlier that is his 31-carry performance against Colorado, and Sharp averaged a hair above 16 carriers in his eight other Big 12 and bowl games which seems to me a fair estimation as to what his 2009 carries total per game should be.
And so the task of keeping Sharp fresh will fall on sophomore Rell Lewis, and freshmen Deshaun Sands and Toben Opurum.
Lewis, a 6-1, 201-pound converted wide receiver, impressed in the spring game with a game-high 66 yards on 14 carries. It remains to be seen how he'll perform in an actual game.
Sands is smaller than Sharp at 5-9, 182 pounds, but runs like he's much
bigger. He could turn some plays into sizeable gains every now and then, but he doesn't offer the delicious potential of Opurum's 6-2, 235-pound frame assaulting a defense winded by chasing Sharp upfield the play before.
Of more concern is the status of junior wide receiver Dezmion Briscoe, who recently earned First Team All-Big 12 honors. That distinction is obviously more a testament to his record-smashing 2008 season than anything he has done since as he was suspended the entire spring for a violation of team policy.
During a summer tour stop in Topeka, Mangino told local media that Briscoe's status on the team was "day-to-day" and that "he's got work to do and he's got to take care of it."
That a player who set a team record with 1,407 receiving yards and is 364 yards away from being Kansas' alltime receiving leader still elicits questions of his standing with the team should be embarrassing.
Will Briscoe again amass another season of hefty statistics or go down the path toward becoming one?

Woods prepares for slew of tournaments
This year looks like it will be different. Woods decided to play this week at the Buick Open, where he is a two-time winner and has never finished worse than 11th in eight previous starts at Warwick Hills.
PGA
Next week is the Bridgestone Invitational, and while Woods has yet to make that official, he has never missed a World Golf Championship in America when he wasn't on crutches. Besides, he is a six-time winner at Firestone, one of his favorite golf courses.
Barring any scheduling surprises, Tiger Woods is about to try something new.
BY DOUG FERGUSON
That third consecutive tournament, however, has never been a major.
He had played three weeks in a row on the PGA Tour in every season since he was a rookie — including a career-high five straight weeks in early 1999 — until last year, when two knee surgeries crimped his schedule.
And there is only one major left.
Woods rarely plays the week before a major, but there has always been an exception or two for the PGA Championship. He has played five times the week before the PGA Championship, and in 2007 won at Firestone by eight shots before winning the PGA at Southern Hills.
Woods is at the halfway point of his schedule - that includes The Presidents Cup, tournaments in Asia and Australia, and his Chevron World Challenge in December - but he has only two months left in the meat of the PGA Tour schedule.
Woods has not played more than two weeks in a row since returning from reconstructive knee surgery. Even though he is leading the PGA Tour money list by more than $500,000 and his three victories are more than anyone else, he has played only 10 times this year.
Then it's off to Hazeltine for the PGA Championship, his last shot at winning a major this year.

Then the conference took a bizarre turn when the focus shifted to Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News and a series

Rubin vehemently denied Minaya's allegations and said he had merely asked for general advice about getting a job in baseball.

OU's Bradford wants BCS title to go with Heisman

IRVING, Texas — Sam Bradford found it tough as a teenage Oklahoma fan to watch the Sooners losing national championship games.

a basic conversation." Brown said. "It was one of those languages even they said you won't ever use again once you leave."
While in Slovakia, Brown traveled and competed against teams across Eastern Europe in countries such as the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary and Poland.
Even though there are professional leagues overseas, Brown said, the crowds that came to watch were no comparison to the crowds she played for while at Kansas.
But Brown remembered when she was asked for her autograph in Slovakia.
"There were these two girls sitting right next to me and I didn't know they were talking to me," Brown said. "It wasn't until another girl who knew some English said to me 'They want your autograph.'"
The idea of playing professionally came from one of her former teammates, Ashley Michaels. Browns said that Michaels played three years overseas before becoming an assistant at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
Brown said Michaels told her about the agency and how to contact it. She and coach Ray Bechard put together a highlight tape of her best performances and it wasn't long before she was picked up by the agency.
Before her career at Kansas.
Brown said, growing up 15 miles outside of Lawrence meant she couldn't pass up the chance to play for the University. Coach Bechard remembers seeing Brown at volleyball camps and playing against the players in open gym when she was in high school and said she came off as mature for her age.
"She manages herself well," Bechard said. "She grew up having a good sense of sports and having a want to be involved in sports is apparent with her."
Bechard said that Brown's freshman year was when she developed into a leadership role being on a team of experienced veterans.
"There wasn't a lot of pressure on her because we had a number of talented players like Josie Lima who was All Big 12 for four years, Ashley Michaels and Jill Dorsey," Bechard said.
Senior setter Katie Martincich played with Brown for three years and trained in setting with Brown during the 2005 season. Martincich said she remembered Brown's personality during practices.
"She was always goofy and tried to get laughs out of the teammates," Martinicich said.

Bechard said the best time for volleyball players to go professional was right after college when they didn't have any commitments to a full-time job, and knew what they
"We want them to know what they are committing themselves to," Bechard said. "The coaches are different; the culture is different. If you know that going in, you won't be disappointed."
Martincich said she thought it was awesome that Brown was continuing her career in volleyball.
"It's a great experience for her and it opens the door for other teammates to try it." Martinicch said.
Brown said it was difficult to have a professional volleyball league in the U.S. that generated money with football and basketball dominating. Brown said most Olympic American volleyball players played overseas in countries such as Russia, Italy, France and Puerto Rico.
"Some of my teammates in Slovakia would ask 'Why don't they have a league in America?' Brown said. "It's just hard to compete against a multi-million sport like the NBA."
Brown plans to finish school with student teaching to get her degree in Health and Physical Education. But in the meantime, she is preparing to leave around August 13 to start practice on the August 16.
"That little white ball is helping her see the world," Bechard said.
