Storm-chasing project has busy second year
WICHITA — The second and final season of storm chasing for Vortex2 — the largest and most ambitious scientific tornado research project ever attempted — was almost exactly the opposite of last year.
That proved both fruitful and frustrating, officials said.
Where 2009 was so quiet the team was only able to gather data on a single tornado, this year was so busy the armada couldn't keep up with all of the twisters.
But last year's single tornado
was a behemoth — something the Vortex2 team never did catch this season.
"We only had a couple of opportunities" to document large tornadoes, said Lou Wicker, a research scientist with the National Severe Storms Laboratory.
In each case, he said, they were unable to catch them.
"When they're moving 50 mph, they're almost impossible to document," Wicker said. "You can't keep up with them."
Vortex2x spent six weeks in the field documenting tornadoes, wrapping up June 17.
About 100 researchers, more than 50 vehicles, about 10 mobile radars — and, for the first time, an airplane — were part of the armada.
"We encountered quite a number of smaller, short-lived tornadoes this year," said Don Burgess, a retired federal research meteorologist who works part-time with the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies in Norman, Okla.
"Last year, we only got one, but the one we got was a very good one — a significant tornado. We got all parts of our armada on it.
Every element, every part of the experiment got data.
"The ones this year were smaller, and many of them were fast-moving. It was much more difficult to get the data and get everyone on each event."
The unmanned airplane was deployed three times, collecting "really good data" on a strong thunderstorm June 10 in Colorado, Burgess said.
The plane gathered data on a strong rear-flank downdraft, which researchers think plays a key role in the development and sustainment of tornadoes.
Vortex2 researchers gathered data on at least 20 tornadoes, and as many as three of them may have been as strong as EF2 — meaning winds of at least 110 miles an hour.
But officials say it will be a while before they realize what that data contains.
"We'll be looking at this data for five to 10 years" Wicker said. "Two years from now, we're going to have a much better feel for what we're going to learn out of this."

Applications such as Foursquare and Gowalla are geographically based social networking programs for mobile phones that use GPS to pinpoint your location. All you have to do is walk into any business, store or restaurant and "check in" on your phone by selecting your location from a list provided by the Foursquare program. If you don't have a smart phone, it still works with text messaging.
Only people you have added to your list of friends on Foursquare will be able to see where you are checked in. If you choose to link your account with another site, such as Twitter or Facebook, your friends on those sites will also be able to see your location.
After checking in, users can leave tips for others looking at that location. One user who checked into The Underground wrote, "Don't go at noon... seriously."
Foursquare logs each of your visits and at many businesses, more visits mean more perks.
DoctorDave Computer Repair,
4105 West Sixth St., is one place in
Lawrence with a Foursquare special,
giving 10 percent off labor costs after
every third visit. Dave Greenbaum,
owner of DoctorDave Computer
Repair, said he preferred Foursquare to Gowalla because of its mayor and point systems.
"There's a little bit of that competitive aspect," he said.
On Foursquare, if you check in to a location more than any other person, you become the "mayor." Depending on the business, it may reward you for your loyalty. Greenbaum said he hasn't seen Foursquare boost his business, but he said the idea has potential.
"It creates more interaction with your customers," he said, "and that's what a lot about keeping customers is."
Joe Davis, a senior from Coventry, Conn., and social media manager for Lawrence Freenet and 23rd Street Brewery, said many of the social networking groups around Lawrence
such as the Social Media Club of Lawrence use Foursquare to network and find friends.
Davis said Facebook is looking to release its own location-based network. Because Foursquare and Gowalla have only a fraction of the users, Facebook might have the upper hand if it was to establish a similar program.
"That might be the killer of both of them," Davis said.
But for now, the big social networking sites are helping the geographically based sites. By linking your account with sites such as Twitter and Facebook, you can see if your friends are nearby.
"Ive had some impromptu get-togethers downtown." Greenbaum said. "It's a lot of fun as a user."

A collection of strange situations from around the world
Golf course uses goats to get rid of pesky weeds
BISMARCK, N.D. — A public golf course in North Dakota has taken a new approach to dealing with pesky weeds: goats.
Eric Stromstad, superintendent at Hawktree golf course north of Bismarck, says two goats were brought in at the start of the season to rid the 16th hole of leaf spurge and clover. It's worked out so well that three more goats were added.
Stromstad says the golfers have taken to the goats and feed and pet them.
Fishing buddies find cars in favorite fishing spot
NEW CASTLE, Del. — A couple of fishing buddies from Delaware have been catching more than just bass. They've been helping police reel in cars.
Larry Newirth and Dan Cathell spotted a white BMW 750 sedan on June 17. Then on Friday, they found
a late-model Honda Accord.
Police say the cars were stolen and abandoned. No arrests have been made.
Newirth, a 63-year-old retired carpenter, jokes that he and Cathell better stop finding cars or the police will think they're the ones stealing.
Cathell, a 44-year-old millwright, says he hopes the thieves stop dumping the cars from the boat ramp so police don't close the dock.
UNIONTOWN, Pa. — A southwestern Pennsylvania woman who denied leaving her 8-year-old granddaughter behind with stolen goods was ordered to stand trial on shoplifting charges. Elaine Weimer, 50, was ordered to stand trial on Wednesday on charges of retail theft, endangering the welfare of a child, and corruption of minors.
Woman uses 8-year-old to shoplift at Wal-Mart
Workers at a Wal-Mart store in South Union Township testified they confronted Weimer about shoplift
but the employees said Weimer denied knowing the girl, got in her car and drove away.
ing on June 23. The girl returned $199 worth of items in reusable shopping bags she was carrying
The girl was not charged.
Couple uses county jail's bank account to pay bills
HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. — A couple were charged with stealing nearly $2,000 from a central Pennsylvania jail by using a routing number from a check the woman got from the jail after her release last year. Police said a 61-year-old man and his 51-year-old wife used the routing number to use Blair County jail account to pay their utility bills and transfer $179 to the man's bank account.
The wife got the routing number when she received a check for $6.95 to reimburse her for money remaining in her inmate expense account after her release on unrelated theft charges in October.

KU grad competes to host show
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
When Oprah Winfrey retires in 2011, a new host will have the opportunity to take over her television legacy — and it could be a Jayhawk. Tiffany Williams-Jallow, a 2005 KU graduate, is competing in the "Your OWN Show: Oprah's search for the next TV star" contest. The contestant with the most online votes will be among nine other finalists selected from other contest categories. The winner will host a new show on OWN, Winfrey's television network.
Williams-Jallow currently hosts a talk show called "Relationships 360," airing four times a week on the Time
P
Williams-Jallow
Warner Channel and the Comcast Channel in the Kansas City area. The voting and online portion of the contest ended July 3. Although she didn't have enough votes to be automatically selected, Williams-Jallow could still be picked by producers to continue in the competition. The Kansan caught up with Williams-Jallow to see how she's doing while she awaits the results, which will be announced on the contest's website this week.
1
How did you register for the competition?
First, I reviewed the rules for the contest. Then I uploaded my video to the site. There was a long application that I had to fill out. It took me, gosh, three hours to go through the application. There were about 50 in-depth questions that she wanted the answer to — everything from the personal web pages you're featured on, religious beliefs, personal mottos, educational background, musical tastes — pretty much anything you can think of to know about a person.
2
When did you start producing your own talk show?
I started as a result of a suggestion from the owner of the production company that now directs and edits my show. I sat on it for a couple of months and then called him in
September. I pitched a talk show that would give people expert advice on how to solve some of their relationship issues and problems.
My motivation for that is because I've been through a series of bad relationships: everything from being a child of divorce, to being a recent divorcee, suffering a miscarriage and being in abusive relationships. I felt like I could be a voice to kind of help people to navigate the stresses, the hurt and the drama that come along with these different types of relationships.
3 How do you think your background and your life experiences affect your work as a talk show host?
I have training to be a broadcast journalist and I'm a natural chatterbox. I like to talk to people and I like to give advice. I have a natural ability to connect with people and give them common sense advice drawing on my own personal experiences. That's definitely what I put into the show: being able to connect with people on a real level. I've been through these things.

How do you come up with your ideas for the talk show?
Sometimes I will hear different things in the community; my last show was about balancing marriage and kids and that came from just asking people about their biggest relationship problem. So basically, I use feedback from people and I do research. I have a couple of people that work on my show and do research; they go to relationship forums and see what people are talking about.
Where does the competition go from here?
5
They're verifying the vote count and they'll make an announcement sometime this week on the website; the top five vote getters will get an automatic bid to the finals.
Another 35 people will be chosen by producers; people they've either seen in person or by seeing the person's audition tape online.
If the producers looked at your audition and thought you had the goods, that you had an outstanding audition, you could be chosen. They look at comments, your talents and your show idea. I think the other thing they would possibly look at is the generated votes, to see if they have most of their votes coming from one computer rather than from all over.
Forty people will go to L.A. and compete in a reality show, so there's another competition part to this. They're going to dwindle it down from there.
6
6 Why do you want your own show on the Oprah network? Will it be similar to your show now?
That's the idea that I pitched, and I want to have my own show on the national level because I just want to reach more people with my message. I feel like it's my passion; I'm passionate about helping people. I want them to have happy, productive lives.
7
What will you do if you're selected? What will you do if you're not?
I can take time off work, so yes I would participate. It's gonna be a challenge if I am selected as a relationship enthusiast. I would have the biggest challenge of anybody because people would be watching to see how I interact with the other contestants.
If I'm not a finalist, I would still love to see my show on a cable network, a niche network that's women-orientated. I'm gonna go for it. That's in the works. After this, if I don't go out to L.A., the next phase is to put a tape together and pitch the whole package to a network.
8
Overall, how has this experience been for you?
Either way, this was a good experience because I was able to get responses from people all around the country. You never know who saw my tape and who might come knocking on my door. It was a lot of fun and it let me explore my feelings a little more deeply to ask myself, why am I doing this? It's helped me reassure myself.

EDITORIAL
Scholarship for children of alumni is petty favoritism
While nearly all students deserve and are in much need of a tuition reduction, a scholarship for descendants of KU graduates looks more like petty favoritism than an actual advantage for the student body.
The Jayhawk Generations Scholarship rewards out-of-state students who have a parent, stepparent, legal guardian, grandparent or step-grandparent who earned a KU degree. The Board of Regents approved a two-year trial run of the scholarship program in April 2009.
Universities in Iowa, Missouri,
Nebraska and Oklahoma have
similar programs.
Not based on merit or need, this scholarship should be thrown out. This isn't comparable to scholarships targeted toward one sex, nationality or income bracket. Those scholarships help to uptown social injustices, promote equality and push for a diverse student body.
Students must have at least a 3.25 high school grade point average and an ACT score of at least 29 to qualify for this scholarship. Those with an ACT score of 26 to 29
So, there is some academic standard to be met. But this scholarship's premise is not based on merit.
Out of state tuition is, in fact, very expensive. Yes, scholarships are almost always a good thing.
But what have students related to KU alumni really earned over equally achieving first generation KU students? Or what do they bring to the table that first-generation students cannot?
Consider the KU community of students, graduates, faculty, staff, fans and friends and family members. When a first-generation Jayhawk is admitted to the University, he adds one more student and future graduate to the ranks. But he also brings family who might buy KU T-shirts and key chains. They could purchase football tickets to visit him in the fall. They might give to the libraries or to KU Endowment because they feel strongly about the education

Couch surfing creates connections
BERLIN - I sat in a McDonalds across the street from the Brussels Stock Exchange. There I could take advantage of free wireless Internet while waiting for Pieter, a 21-year-old Belgian I'd only seen in photographs and talked to through brief online messages.
Though I had never met Pieter in person, I'd be staying with him for the next five days in Brussels. As he explained in a text message, he was running a bit late.

back to his one-room flat.
Encounters such as this one have become routine since I left my friend's house in Bonn, Germany, more than two weeks ago. Now, they're one of my favorite things about traveling.
But why stay with complete strangers instead of in hostels or budget hotels? The answer is two-fold.
The first reason seems obvious enough. Six weeks of travel in Europe would be well outside my budget without a certain perk: free accommodations.
Even hostsel can cost upwards of 20 Euros a night. That's more than
I typically spend on all other daily travel costs combined. A six-week excursion would become little more than a three-week vacation if I had to pay for a bed every night.
So instead, I couch surf. Simply put, I ask complete strangers whom I find online whether I can stay with them for several nights before moving on to another city where I repeat the process.
Yet this oversimplification fails to accurately describe couch surfing.

MANNERS
Food-service workers are people, too
Baskin Robbins, Pizza Street, M. Isabella's, Panera, University Book Shop, The Kansan, KU Catering. Over the past seven years, I have worked a part-time job at each of these companies. Some for as many as three years, and one only lasted five hours. However, I learned something from each of them, and while I didn't always enjoy going to work (particularly to open Panera at 5 a.m.), I never begrudged the necessity of having a job.
Working as a student is invaluable. You meet people who don't necessarily go to the same school or share the same interests. Part time jobs teach you social skills, the value of earning your own money, accountability and flexibility.
That being said, in any restaurant or retail store you can tell the difference between a customer who has worked a similar job and a customer who has never been behind the counter. The majority of these in the latter end up doing one or more of the following ignorant things. Here is what NOT to do when interacting with the nametag-adorned people behind the counter:
1. Don't leave a tip, because we're already getting paid, right? This is what we're here for anyway.
Carly
Guest columnist
BY CAITLIN THORNBRUGH cthornbrugh@kansan.com
2. Blame us for things completely out of our control; prices, the way the food tastes and the temperature of said establishment.
3. Treat us like we're less than you, like we're not there or like we don't have the power to mess with the food we're bringing you.
4. Talk on the phone while we try to decipher between your conversation about how short Kim's skirt was and how you don't want your soup actually in the bread bowl.
5. Tell us we're wrong about the ingredients in the food item from the menu we had to memorize and have been eating from the entire time we've worked there.
Being disrespectful to the people serving you food is arrogant. A black apron, polo shirt, or goofy hat is not an excuse to abuse or disregard someone.
It's the impression many people get when I tell them about courchsurfing.com, a free hospitality service website with nearly two million members. And it's why most people hesitate to sign up — it sounds dangerous.
Dispelling this common misbelfief is at the core of the second reason I couchsurf. William Butler Yeats' famous quote I spotted on the wall of a small Irish Pub in Hamburg summarizes it best: "There are no strangers here; only friends you haven't yet met."
HOLTZ (CONTINUED FROM 8)
With that in mind, it becomes apparent that couch surfing is far more than a free bed. It's an exponentially growing network of friends. More than 17,000 people signed up
Saving money is why I started couch surfing; meeting new people is why I continue. Sure there are plenty of people to meet at hostels, but such fleeting relationships have a short shelf life in comparison.
To quote Yeats again: "And say my glory was I had such friends."

(Disclaimer; I'm ashamed to say that as I write this column, I sit in the lobby of a hostel. The one downside of couch surfing sometimes it's not always easy to find a host.)

he's receiving. This one (first generation) student introduces a plethora of individuals to the KU brand.
That's different from a student who comes from a chain of Jayhawk grads. If that student's parents and grandparents are alumni, the KU community isn't expanded. Their level of patronage is unlikely to change. If they gave to the University, theyll probably continue. If they didn't, they probably won't start. The student and his network were already familiar with the University. Other than his out-of-state tuition dollars, not much is gained.
There's nothing wrong with continuing family ties. Of course continued loyalty is a good thing. It's easier to create repeat customers than it is to lure in new
But this scholarship congratulates heredity. It rewards students for being part of something they were born into. It's medieval.
customers.
This practice looks eerily similar to sorority and fraternity "legacies," who are given preferential treatment during the recruitment process because of their parents' grandparents' or siblings' participation in the greek organization.
This discount sends the message that those whose relatives went to school here are more valuable, more deserving and more important, when in fact, that's absolutely not the case.
We should build and expand the KU community, not constrain it.

The mount and the throwdown two moves that could save you during an attack are both Jiu-Jitsu techniques that instructor Robert Riley teaches in his new school. Riley has become the go-to guy in Lawrence to practice Jiu-Jitsu since first studying the, art eight years ago while attending the University.
Riley, a 2006 University graduate, recently opened Lawrence Jiu-Jitsu. 315 N. 2nd St. The ancient martial art is based on submission — it's not for attacking, but for reversing the roles should someone be attacked. Jiu-Jitsu originated in Japan and Brazil.
Riley said if a victim was being attacked, knowing Jiu-Jitsu moves could help him or her escape or fight back.
"You could choke them out or break them."

Experts say University has allowed Lawrence to weather the recession better than other cities
BY MEGAN RUPP
mrupp@kansan.com
College towns traditionally provide a sense of community and entertainment, but the benefits of a central university go beyond the bounds of campus activities and events.
While many American cities have seen population decreases because of economic fluctuations in the past decade, college towns have endured the recession relatively well. In Lawrence, the University was able to insulate the local economy and unemployment rate, providing a source of population growth. From 2000 to 2006, Lawrence experienced an average annual population increase of 1.8 percent and a 1.1 percent increase from 2006 to 2009, according to 2010 Census data.
"The University acts as a stabilizing force that in a sense buffers it from the economic environment outside the local economy itself" said Art Hall, director of the Center for Applied Economics in the School of Business.
Kern said that the University represented about 17.5 percent of all the employment in Lawrence. Because the University employs about 10,000 people out of the city's workforce
Hall said universities were important to college towns because they were such large institutions in relatively small places. He said they did not have the same effect in larger cities with more diverse economies.
"While a budget crisis might mean layoffs, which hurt the employees and the community, the University will not simply close."
JILL JESS Associate director for University news and media relations
Tom Kern, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said that was true, in part, because the University was such a large employer in the community.
of a little less than 60,000,a significant percentage of local employment remains stable despite recessionary influence.
but they still remain fairly stable;" Kern said.
"During recession times, universities may see some decreases in their state budgets and employment,
State budget cuts in 2009 eliminated about 150 jobs for the Lawrence campus, said Jill Jess, associate director for news and media relations for the University.
"While a budget crisis might mean layoffs, which hurt the employees and the community, the University will not simply close," Jess said.
Despite the recent University layoffs, the overall unemployment rate in Lawrence is comparatively low. Kern said that unemployment rates for most college towns were generally lower than the overall state average. This may contribute to the population growth Lawrence underwent over the past 10 years.
"In a time of recession, you typically see economic decrease as people leave to find more employment," Kern said. "So for us to see that kind of increase, I think was a surprise to everyone."

UMKC professor derides planned lawsuit over Ariz. immigration law
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A professor and Kansas politician who helped draft Arizona's tough new law on immigration says a Justice Department lawsuit against it is unnecessary and troubling.
Kris Kobach, a law professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, predicted Tuesday that the lawsuit would fail.
He is consulting with Arizonas governor as her state defends the law, which requires state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal

Student sculpture listed among best public art
BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com
The display of plastic water bottles coming from the Chi Omega Fountain the past two winters has gained local and national accolades and is now considered one of the best public works of art in the United States and Canada.
The display, titled "Frozen Assets" and created by Matthew Farley, a 2009 KU graduate, was recognized by non-profit organization, Americans for the Arts. His project is listed among the year's 40 best public works of art in its 2010 Public Art Review project. This is the only national award that specifically recognizes public art projects.
The 40 pieces recognized were selected from more than 300 entries and reflect "the most exemplary, innovative permanent or temporary public art works created or debuted in 2009," according to a University news release.
Farley's "Frozen Assets" incorporates about 1,000 empty water bottles and resembles frozen water coming out of the fountain.
According to the press release, Farley created the piece for a special topics class in public art taught by John Hachmeister, associate professor of sculpture.
Hachmeister said he noticed the
work's power and visual appeal from the start. He also praised Farley's vision and tenacity.
"In every class, students come up with fantastic ideas," Hachmeister said. "But then everyone, including people living under bridges, have great ideas. The proof lies in the execution."
Farley researched water usage and recycling throughout the
semester in preparation for the project. Initially, Farley explored the sculptural potential of used plastics, which led to an increased concern over global water issues.

Americans for the Arts, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, says it is dedicated to representing and serving local communities and creating opportunities for every American to participate in and appreciate all forms of art.
Those who have worked with Farley, such as Hachmeister, say
Farley's art gained even more attention when it was featured last December during ESPN's "Green Game," which highlighted the University's sustainability efforts during its broadcast of the men's
they believe Farley has plenty of art left to create.
"Matt is completely invested in the creative act. Art is a significant part of his life." Hachmeister said. "When you are no longer passionate about your art, you are no longer an artist. I think Matt will always be an artist."

University staff organizes food drive
BY JANENE GIER jgier@kansan.com
The dollar and a half it takes to buy a 12-pack of Ramen noodles can help feed 12 hungry mouths without breaking your bank.
From July 12 to 16, collection containers will be waiting for your donation all over campus to go toward this year's second food drive for ECKAN Just Food, a partnership of Lawrence food pantries.
Mike Krings,publicrelationscommittee chair for KU's Unclassified Senate, said donations usually decrease during summer months." This becomes a problem, he said, because kids who would normally be getting a good lunch provided to them at school are home in the summer with nothing to eat.
Krings is part of Unclassified and University Support Staff Senates, which are working together to collect as much food as possible for the Lawrence community.
"I would say that all food drives help everybody. We appreciate them, period. They help the hungry," Loring Henderson, director of Lawrence Community Shelter, 214 West 10th Street, said.
Just Food helps a lot of groups.
Henderson said. Its main goal is to more efficiently get food to those who need it, he said.
Just Food annually serves more than 7,000 households and more than 25,000 individuals.
The goal this year is to collect one ton of goods. Last year's food drive collected 1,800 pounds.
Krings said good donation ideas would come from thinking back to summer lunches as a child or teenager. He said students might
have been in this situation, or know someone else who had been.
Gillian Dryton, a senior from Overland Park, said she remembered eating lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches during the summer as a kid. Cheese and crackers would be good donations, too, she said.
"I think they especially need it during the summer because you hear more about food drives and the need for donations at times like Christmas," Dryton said.
Henderson said that although children at the Lawrence Community Shelter don't understand the severity
of the situation, it's the parents that worry.
"Parents' hearts are breaking. They wish they weren't here but they're doing the best they can. The kids, when they're here, they get good food, but it's because of things like your food drive." Henderson said.
Henderson suggested high-protein portable foods like peanut butter, canned beans, soups and tuna
fish.
He also suggested donating easy-to-prepare foods, such as Ramen noodles. For the kids, he suggested low-sugar cereals because, well, kids like cereal, he said.
"Many donations come from employees of the University, but hopefully we are getting donations from students," Krings said.

31 private clubs exempt from ban
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Kansas Attorney General Steve Six claimed a victory Wednesday after a district court judge issued a limited injunction barring a new statewide smoking ban from taking effect.
Shawnee County District Judge Franklin Theis issued a preliminary injunction sought by owners of bars and other businesses who claim the new law is unconstitutional. No court date was set to determine whether the order will be made permanent.
Six said after the ruling that the ban would take effect July 1 as scheduled for all but a narrow class of businesses. He said the group affected by the injunction includes 31 private clubs that were issued licenses after Jan. 1, 2009.
"The news is a victory." Six said of the ruling. "The state smoking ban was upheld."
The law prohibits indoor smoking in most public places, including bars, restaurants, bingo parlors and some private clubs. The gambling areas of state-owned casinos are exempted.
Leading the lawsuit was the Downtown Bar and Grill in Tonganoxie, which attorney Mike Merriam said would close if the ban went into effect.
Merriam argues the bar's property rights were being violated because the new law set a Jan. 1, 2009, cutoff date for a business to convert to a private club, where smoking is allowed
It received its private club license in May 2009, nearly a year before the ban was approved by legislators.
"We won. How could I argue with that?" Merriam said. "It would be nice if we could get it broadly interpreted to cover every other club. I think we might have an opportunity to have other clubs join in our effort."
Theis said in his ruling that the
January 2009 cutoff date for allowing smoking in certain clubs seemed an "unintended consequence" of the legislative process, but there didn't appear to be a reason for that date's selection. He said that part of the
ban needed further court review.
"It would be nice if we could get it broadly interpreted to cover every other club."
Theis' order doesn't affect a group of Wichita-area bingo and billiard clubs that sought to join the injunction. The judge said those clubs and those covered by the injunction would suffer financial harm by the potential loss of customers resulting from the ban.

Gov. Mark Parkinson, who supported the ban, issued a statement saying the ruling didn't "deter the state from pursuing this legislation's ultimate goal."

"Starting (Thursday) Kansans will begin benefiting from this historic, bipartisan legislation that will prevent secondhand smoke exposure, reduce teen smoking, and ultimately save thousands of Kansas lives for years to come."

A Sedgwick County judge issued a separate temporary order Friday in Wichita to prevent the law from taking effect in that city. The plaintiffs argue that Wichita's smoking ban is more stringent.

Who's cooking in Lawrence
BY JANENE GIER | jgier@kansan.com
With nearly 50 downtown restaurants, chefs are put to the test every night of the week. And it all boils down to what they know. Four local chefs talked to the Kansan about the smarts it takes to put on your plate.
"Just when you think there's no physical way possible, you figure out a way to bam out all these orders and at the end of the night you feel like a badass," said Hal Beckerman, kitchen manager of Free State Brewing Company.
JEFF LEWIS
Chef, co-owner and concept developer at Anglers
1004 Mass Street
"People ask me if I've been to culinary school. I could have gone to three culinary schools in the time it took to get my industrial design degree," Lewis said.
Eight years working his way up the kitchen hierarchy taught Lewis a lot about the business by working with other talented individuals. But he also gives credit to his University education. In his last semester of college, he started creating and executing the plan for Angler's.
"I applied the industrial design process into my cooking. You refine and refine and apply that to the kitchen," he said. "That is why my approach is unique and I take it and apply it to my composition of food. I see food in three dimensions."
Lewis understands the strain and demand that this kind of career can place on a person.
"I was in a three-year relationship until two months ago and probably
still would be if I wasn't a chef and in this business."
He said, in all fairness, it probably should have ended sooner because his job was at a point where it demanded seven days a week, full-time, from him.
He said this is not a hobby and that the chaos and the pressures of the business demand emotional, physical and mental labor.
"Every chef has a different approach," he said. "That begins from experiences at home, including the social and cultural experiences a person goes through."
Beckerman graduated from the University with a degree in philosophy. He said he enjoyed both academic and kitchen life. But After working eight years in kitchens, five of them at Free State, he said he's at a crossroad.
HAL BECKERMAN Kitchen manager of Free State Brewing Company 636 Mass Street
"When I got to a certain point,
I had been working here for three years and I was getting two weeks' paid vacation, benefits and I was getting paid well. I asked myself if there was a point in leaving."
He's thought about going back to school, but nothing has lit the fire under him yet.
Behind the scenes the kitchen is a working machine, full of people who make up the necessary parts to produce a wonderful and tasty product - your dinner.
"Mom and Dad said, 'never play with your food.' They were wrong. Always play with your food," he said.
Beckerman said the kitchen staff may joke around, but a huge sense of accomplishment comes from getting through a busy night with a group of friends.
"It's about being Peter Pan. 30 is the new 20. There's a certain camaraderie amongst the boys in the back," he said. "When you're sitting next to this sweaty guy all night cooking, you become family."
JACK LOW Sous-chef at Teller's, 746 Massachusetts Street
Low said there is a certain amount of natural ability involved in cooking. He hasn't had any formal culinary training.
Low started at the University, transferred to get an associates degree, returned to the University for computer engineering, and soon realized he wasn't meant for an office job. Instead, he wanted to be where his grandfather had been - in the kitchen.
"My grandfather owned a restaurant and, ever since, I've wanted to cook. He's been my inspiration. My mom told me I was 3 years old the first time I said I wanted to be a cook."
Low said he would still like to go to culinary school after his wife graduates because any experience learning how to do more with food is good experience.
BRADY MARCOFFE Cook at 715 715 Massachusetts Street
"I feel you learn more working under a chef than going to be trained somewhere." Marcoffe said.
Marcoffe decided to put down his college pursuits for kitchen life when he wasn't accepted into the KU School of Business. He now has five years of experience under his belt.
"This is a lifestyle of love," he said. "One-hundred-and-thirty degrees for eight hours."
Marcoffe said if someone decides to get a culinary degree it should be from a top culinary school. A degree gives a cook a better chance of becoming a chef, directly out of school, he said.
"Don't do it unless you're ready to get your ass kicked in a hot kitchen 50 hours a week," he said. "If you have an absolute desire to do this, then start now."

Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Several areas of town are being affected by road construction this summer including this portion of New York street between Ninth and 12th streets, which is currently closed to through traffic.
ROAD

City road work complicates routes
Dyana Krzanowsky, a senior from Lawrence, now has to sit through pinched traffic every time she travels up 23rd Street on her way to the Edwards Campus.
The construction on East 23rd Street, which stretches from Haskell Avenue to the city limits, is the major street project of the summer in Lawrence. During construction, which started Tuesday and will last four weeks, the street will be cut down to one lane each way. Some drivers can use other routes to avoid the congestion.
"I can dodge some of it using the bypass," Krzanowsky said. "So I'll probably just do that to avoid it."
Corey Thibodeaux
"If you're unaware of it and there's a traffic hold-up," he said, "it could mess up your plans to get home."
Plenty of other works will affect Lawrence drivers, including North Second Street, the 900 block of New York Street, and numerous streets in the second phase of the 2010 Overlay Program.
Detours are posted, but Garrett Englert, a senior from Overland Park, said it's a hassle getting around town. It's hard to keep track of the construction constantly popping up.

Gardeners grow global produce
BY LUYAN WANG
lwang@kansan.com
Residents of Stouffer Place Apartments, a University-owned complex for married, graduate and non-traditional students, are growing vegetables from all over the world in their community garden this summer.
Rohan Bandara lives at Stouffer Place with his wife, who is a graduate student at the University. He said he worked in the garden every day to kill time. Bandara used to have a full-time job in his hometown of Keawe, Sri Lanka., but he has lots of free time in Lawrence.
"I am not doing anything in my home," Bandara said.
Bandara bought vegetable seeds
from his native country at an Indian market in Kansas City and planted them in the garden. Bandara said working in the garden gave him a chance to meet more of his neighbors.
"We are new to the place and we do not know much about the families." Bandara said. "We can talk with each other."
Stouutter Neighborhood Association President Seyool Oh said the garden was built in 2005 to give the residents an opportunity to plant various vegetables and fruits. Oh said many international families living in Stouffer Place missed the food of their home countries and growing vegetables helped them adjust to the new environment and maintain their own cultures.
"If we have some space to plant our own countries' vegetables, we will be more relaxed."Oh said.
Fourty-five out of 283 families have a plot in the garden. Families are planting Chinese cabbage, Korean chives and other vegetables from China, Korea, Vietnam, India, Sri Lanka, Russia and Chile.
"I am very happy and excited to have a garden this year in Stouffer Place because it brings us a lot of enjoyment," said Yi Zhang, a graduate student from China, who has a plot in the garden.
Working in the garden together could help the neighbors communicate more and build a better connection. Oh said. Residents help each other with their gardening and share their fruits and vegetables.
POPULAR VEGETABLES IN EASTERN CULTURE
- Chinese Cabbage Green Bean
- Chive Zucchini
- Kale Potato
- Eggplant Broccoli
- Hot peppers Cauliflower
- Squash Tomato
- Green Onion Leek
"If my friends are very busy and they do need vegetables, I just share mine," Oh said.
Ying Du came from Shanghai, China, to visit her daughter, a graduate student at the University. Du said the vegetables she planted were not enough for the family and they still
needed to buy some from the market, but she enjoyed working in the garden and meeting with people here.
Stouffer Place residents can apply for a free plot every March. The garden plots will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis.

Empty Nest 101: College orientation for parents
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Call it Empty Nesting 101: Colleges around the country are holding orientations for families of incoming freshmen. But these are not simple "Meet the Dean" receptions held the day before school starts. These are elaborate two- and three-day events, often held on midsummer weekdays, requiring parents to take time off from work and pay $70 or $80 in addition to lodging, food and travel expenses.
They're packed with workshops, tours and speeches on subjects ranging from letting go to campus safety. Reed College in Portland, Ore., even invites parents to read "The Odyssey" and attend a lecture and discussion similar to what their kids will experience in a freshman humanities course.
You might think parents facing massive tuition bills would balk at more demands on their budget and time. But many colleges report that well over half their freshmen have family in attendance at these events.
"What I've heard across the country from parents is that these events are marked on their calendar with a big red heart," said Natalie Caine, who counsels parents through her business. Empty Nest Support Services in Los Angeles. "They'll pay the airfare, they'll go into debt to attend parent orientation if they have to. They're warriors. They say, 'I need to go. I need to see what it's like. I want to hear what they have to offer, what the security system is like, who's the contact person if there's a problem."
Joe Mondy said he was skeptical when he saw a long lecture on "letting go" scheduled for the parent
orientation at his daughter's school, Stonehill College in Massachusetts. But he ended up thinking the session was terrific.
"My generation, the Baby Boom generation, wants to over-control and manage things," said Mondy. "You want to make sure everything goes smoothly, familiarize yourself with the college and what it stands for."
Kristine Goodwin, associate dean for student life at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., says the orientations try to show parents that the school is on their side.
Holy Cross also warns parents that kids may call home in the first few weeks saying they're unhappy. "They don't have emotional support yet," Goodwin said. "Your job is not to overreact. Don't panic! They're just venting."
At Northern Michigan University in Marquette, parents get to hear exactly what those desperate calls sound like. The school plays tapes during the parent orientation of upperclassmen recreating actual calls they made home. One girl tells mom and dad she'll be spending Thanksgiving with her new boyfriend instead of her family. In another call, a boy confesses that he's not doing well in school, and P.S., he's in trouble for alcohol violations. A third call is from a student who's homesick and lonely.
"The girl's voice in the homesick tape makes many parents cry every time we do it," said Christine Greer, dean of students at NMU. The tapes were made some years ago, but "the issues haven't changed — independence, breaking rules, not doing well in classes, homesickness. They are
still things that parents worry about, and students deal with, every year."
Parents only hear the kid's side of the call; they're then asked to imagine their own reactions before being told what really happened: The parents of the girl with the boyfriend let her go to his house for Thanksgiving, and she ended up marrying him. The boy in trouble became a police officer. And the lonely girl became a resident adviser and later a teacher; she's now married with three kids.
At Indiana State University at Terre Haute, orientations have included as many as nine family members, including grandparents," said spokesman John Beacon. "We don't mind at all and we enjoy having the whole family participate. We recognize there are lots of helicopter parents. Rather than try to limit their involvement, we embrace it."

Judges order two newspapers to delete archived crime stories
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Two newspapers want a state judge to overturn an order requiring them to delete archived stories and other information about two defendants, cases that touch on the potential for media censorship.
Such orders typically direct public agencies to clear a person's record in cases in which charges are dismissed or withdrawn or aren't applicable for someone who's a first-time offender who completes a rehabilitation program.
The Centre Daily Times and The Daily Collegian student newspaper at Penn State were ordered to expunge records of information about the defendants, an unusual provision inserted by a defense lawyer into otherwise standard orders signed by Centre County Judge Thomas King Kistler.
Attorney Joseph Amendola told the Times he included the newspapers in orders for five defendants, including the two before Kistler, because he was concerned the media's First Amendment rights to free speech were trumping his clients' rights to have cleared records. It's common for attorneys to draw up legal documents for judges to consider.
Centre County Judge Bradley Lunsford, who handled the three other cases, cited free speech concerns Tuesday in signing new expungement orders, submitted by
a newspaper lawyer, that rescinded an order on Friday. The new order did not require the newspapers to expunge information about the defendants, including news stories.
"Oh, my, yes. There's definitely a First Amendment issue," Lunsford told The Associated Press on Tuesday in a phone interview before he signed the new order.
Kistler, who received similar proposed revised orders from a newspaper lawyer, said he wanted to schedule a meeting this week with county President Judge David Grine and Amendola before taking further action.
"What's the sense in having your record expunged if anyone can Google you and it comes up?"
"I want to see at this meeting what the outcome is from the defense lawyer that prepared these and see why it's in there," Kistler said. "Certainly we want to get it squared away. We have a very good relationship with all the media in Centre County, and we want to do what the statute requires."
Newspapers increasingly are getting requests from private citizens asking for archived stories to be deleted out of fear, for instance, that a potential employer may find damaging information on the Internet.
archives that are factually correct, and an expungement of court records doesn't mean the events never occurred, said Melissa Bevan Melewsky, a media law attorney for the Harrisburg-based Pennsylvania Newspaper Association.
Newspapers ultimately are under no legal obligation to change
"It's accurate when it was reported, and that means there's nothing illegal about it," she said. "It's protected speech."
Joseph Amendola Attorney
Amendola did not immediately return phone messages from the AP seeking comment Tuesday. He told the Times this was a national issue bigger than the newspaper and judges.
"What's the sense in having your record expunged if anyone can Google you and it comes up," he was quoted by the newspaper as saying. "Ultimately, this is an issue that needs to be decided by the legislature."
Copies of the initial orders including the newspapers were not available publicly because those documents are covered under the expungement guidelines, a county court clerk said.
The Centre County judges usually sign 30 to 50 such orders at a time once or twice a week. The orders are vetted by the probation department and the district attorney's office
before going to a judge to approve that outside agencies follow suit.
In the five cases, orders initially directed records of information to be expunged — as with public agencies — but did not specify to the newspapers what that entailed.
Kistler and Lunsford said judges typically don't read the text of each order and assume the orders are consistent with law. The orders are "certainly not things that we, as judges ... create. They're created by lawyers," Kistler said.
Lunsford said his new orders, first submitted for approval by Times attorneys, also rescinded a mandate that a private website that allows the public to search criminal records also expunge information.
Defense lawyers may be frustrated about the availability of information on the Internet, Lunford said.
"But what they don't realize from the court's perspective, we only have jurisdiction over government offices that play a part in the prosecution of a particular individual, and no one else," Lunsford said.
The Times had published short stories on the cases of two defendants, while the other three cases appeared in weekly court reports. Executive editor Bob Heise likened archived stories to historical records of facts, which aren't altered.
"I appreciate (Lunsford) acting as fast as he could to straighten this out." Heisse said. "It's very clear that it was on the wrong path."
CRIME
Missouri boy charged in parents'murder
KAISER, Mo. — A 12-year-old mid-Missouri boy has been charged in juvenile court with two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of his mother and stepfather.
The 26th Judicial Circuit's chief juvenile officer, Tammy Walden, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that a hearing will be held later to determine whether the boy will be tried as an adult or juvenile.
Miller County Sheriff Bill Abbott says police found the bodies Monday night in a mobile home park in the small Miller County town of Kaiser.
Authorities aren't identifying the boy because of his age. The adults' names are being withheld while relatives are notified.
Associated Press
Neighbors say the boy lived in the home with five other children, but none of the others were there at the time of the shooting.

Libraries focus on convenience with locations in malls
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — People streamed into a storefront on a recent summer day at an upscale Dallas mall, but they weren't drawn to a heavy discount on designer clothes. It was story sing-a-long time for babies at one of the city library's newest outposts.
The library for kids 12 and under has been wildly successful in offering unconventional access to families who might not make a trip to a traditional public library, and it's one of a growing number of strategies used by librarians nationwide to reintroduce communities to their local library.
"I think what's happening now is really that focus on convenience," said Sari Feldman, president of the Public Library Association, a division of the American Library Association. "How do we make the public library as convenient as
Amazon, Netflix? Part of that is putting library branches in the path of customer"
"We are very aware of the fact that our biggest advantage is that we're free, but if time is actually a commodity for people, will people be willing to spend money rather than go to a library?"
She said putting libraries in malls is one of many efforts by public libraries to become more convenient. Even at more traditional branches, libraries have built cafes, provided downloadable books or installed drive-through windows.
With about 5,000 items, including books and DVDs, the Bookmarks branch in Dallas' NorthPark Center checks out as many items as branches eight times its size, said Jo Giudice, youth services manager. She said in the two years since it opened, it's had to increase story times to 12 a week compared to the two or three at most branches.

Diplomas aren't the only path to success
BY SHANNA LARSON slarson@kansan.com
Despite the forecasted shortage, some believe that earning a fouryear degree is no longer a necessary step in the path to success.
If you want a good job, you go to college. That's the conventional wisdom that keeps you going while you pull all-nighters, show up to an 8 a.m. class and sit through "Earthquakes and Natural Disasters." But it's an idea fewer people are buying — and it could be a problem in the future.
A New York Times article called "Plan B: Skip College," suggests that finding a career does not always
According to a study by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, there will be 22 million new jobs for workers with college degrees by 2018 and a shortage of three million people with degrees to fill those positions.

"I found a job right after graduation because I knew what I wanted to do and I got to do it in college," Wilson, from Mankato, said.
Jordan said there were endless forums through the college experience that could nurture students' professional development.
"Students need to take advantage of and reflect upon those experiences in a way that ties into their professional aspirations," Jordan said.
Although not all degrees guarantee a career, students can still prepare while they're in college by taking advantage of campus resources.
Ashley Wilson, a KU graduate from Manhattan, said she decided to major in history because she thought it was interesting.
"But I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to do with it after I graduated," she said. "I eventually found a job that I love doing."

Diversion sought in high school prank
STATE
SALINA — Several former students at a Kansas high school are seeking diversion after a prank that left part of the school smelling like a skunk.
Nine graduates of Ell-Saline High School in Salina were originally charged as juveniles or adults with criminal damage to property and criminal trespass.
Authorities canceled school on May 11 after discovering that the first and second floors of the building were covered with straw and smelled of skunk spray. The doors were also locked from the inside.
The Salina Journal reports that the students must pay a total of more than $2,600 to pay for the cost of having the carpets cleaned.
LAWRENCE — A trial has begun in a lawsuit filed by a woman whose husband suffered a fatal accident while riding a bus for Kansas State University sports fans.

The Cat Tracker bus was carrying K-State football fans to a game at the University of Kansas when the accident occurred in November 2006.
John Green of Shawnee was standing on the bus's upper deck when the bus went below an overpass. Green's head struck the overpass.
Jury selection began Tuesday in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Green's widow in Douglas County District Court, according to reports.

LA County officials create task force for rave safety
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Officials voted Tuesday to form a task force to examine safety hazards at rave parties after a stadium event last month that led to the drug-related death of a teenage girl.
Police made 118 arrests, mostly for drug possession, during the two-day Electric Daisy Festival at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which featured carnival rides, light shows and appearances by techno music star Moby and Will.Am of the Black Eyed Peas.
Sasha Rodriguez, 15, collapsed at the event and died at a hospital after being treated for drug intoxication. The cause of death is pending toxicology tests results.
The motion by Los Angeles County supervisors instructs the county Department of Public Health to convene a team of city officials, police
representatives, hospital staff and others to develop recommendations for making raves safer and publicizing their dangers.
"This is a public health issue more than anything else and the best way to deal with public health issues is to inform and educate," said Zev Yaroslavsky, one of the motion's sponsors.
Authorities said there were more than 200 injuries at the June 25-26 event, including some who were hurt as people rushed barriers trying to get in without paying the $75 admission fee. More than 100 people were taken to hospitals.
Coliseum President Barry Sanders has announced a moratorium on booking future raves at the historic venue after the event, which drew about 185,000 people.The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission, which oversees the publicly owned
venue, has called a special meeting on July 16 to discuss extending the moratorium.
The motion specified that the task force should develop recommendations that mandate rave promoters and sponsors to consider health and safety issues during their planning, such as by requiring private emergency medical staff at the events.
The task force is also instructed to consider holding a public information campaign about the potential dangers of rave parties.
Los Angeles County public health director Dr. Jonathan Fielding, whose department will be overseeing the task force, stressed the importance of educating families about the prevalence of the drug Ecstasy at raves.
"I don't know why a parent would let their underage child go to one of these," he said at the meeting before the motion was passed.

Court allowing widow to keep corpses in home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WYALUSING, Pa. — A 91-year-old woman found living with the corpses of her husband and twin sister will be allowed to keep them if she installs a mausoleum or crypt, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Jean Stevens has indicated through her attorney that she plans to build an aboveground vault on her property to store the bodies of James Stevens and June Stevens, according to Bradford County District Attorney Daniel Barrett.
"If she does that, the bodies will be released for that purpose," he said. "Otherwise they will be reinterred."
Stevens' attorney, Leslie
Wizelman, did not immediately return phone messages left at her office.
Stevens previously told The Associated Press that she kept the embalmed remains of her loved ones because she wanted to be able to see them and talk to them. She also said she's claustrophobic and couldn't stand the thought of their bodies in caskets in the ground.
Stevens had them dug up shortly after they died.
State police have been investigating the case since the corpses were discovered in mid-June. Authorities found the body of James Stevens on a couch in the detached garage and the body of June Stevens on a couch in a spare room.

Student competes in annual Tour of Lawrence race
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
This weekend, he wasn't riding around campus to get to class; he was racing in the annual Tour of Lawrence bike race.
Spencer Martin bought a bike in 2008 because he wanted to get to class faster.
Martin, a fifth-year senior from Lawrence, didn't live far from campus his junior year and wanted to shave a few minutes off his time from home to class, so he saved up a little cash and bought a used road bike, his first.
Then he started riding it in his free time. And on the weekends. Quickly, something that started because he wanted to save time turned into a hobby that consumed a lot of it.
"It kind of got out of hand," Martin said. "I didn't expect to get into it that much."
He said he always followed cycling a little closer than most, but never
took it up for himself. Even when he did, he never thought it would grow into the passion it has.
"I always wanted to race bikes, but it's pretty expensive to get into." Martin said. "In high school, as a kid, it's pretty tough to convince your parents to get you a bike when it's some-

Bike race brings more traffic for downtown businesses
BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com
Local business owners expressed excitement at the economic opportunities offered by the second annual Tour of Lawrence.
Over the newly popular holiday weekend event, more than 400 cyclists raced in three different circuits.
"Historically, restaurant and hotel activity in Lawrence over the Fourth of July weekend is very slow," said Bob Sanner, sports marketing manager for the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau. "We created the Tour of Lawrence to help the local economy in that way and hope that they might also do some

businesses sponsored the event with the same hopes.
"We've probably increased business by 50 percent," Longhurst said. "Instead of having 30 percent occupancy, we're almost full."
"Perhaps this can turn into something like that," said Chuck Magerl, owner of Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St. "It's great for business and fun to see on the streets of downtown."
"We've been closed years past, but we were open last year for its first start," Magerl said. "There were so many more participants this year, we knew we were going to be open again."
Magerl said many downtown businesses that usually closed for the holiday chose to stay open this year because of events like live music, children's races and fireworks that drew people to the area.

WORLD CUP
Soccer reminds students of home
5
Spain's Carles Puyol, front, complains after Paraguay goalkeeper Justo Villar tackled Spain's Cesc Fabregas during the World Cup quarterfinal soccer match Saturday at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. Spain won 1-0.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY HANNAH JENNISON hjennison@kansan.com
Although soccer is not the most popular sport in the United States, it is arguably the most popular sport in most South American countries and in many other places around the world. With the 2010 FIFA World Cup, students from Paraguay and other South American countries were able to make Lawrence a little bit more like home.
Carlos Hernandez, a recent KU graduate from Venezuela, along with nine Paraguay fans gathered in front of the 50-inch Panasonic television at The Exchange apartments with anticipation and excitement for the Paraguay vs. Spain game last Saturday.
"During the game I felt like a little kid on his first visit to Disney. I was watching two of my favorite teams playing each other. It was a spectacular moment for me," Hernandez
said. "I think the best team won and it was well deserved. However, I also felt sad because many of my good friends were not happy because they were out of the world cup."
The Kansas Paraguay Partnership brings about 100 students from
the United States.
Paraguay each year and allows them to attend any of the Kansas regents schools with in-state tuition. Most of the people in the group watching the game were from Paraguay or somewhere else in South America. A few fans were from Mexico and
"I support the World Cup because it's not only a celebration of sports, but of different countries and cultures coming together." Jazmin Mora, a senior from Paraguay, said.
Mora said the group watching the
game was nervous, and although the fans were happy to have made it to the quarter finals, they wanted Paraguay's team to go further.
The game was streamed in Spanish. The viewers spoke to each other in Spanish. They even yelled and cursed at the television in Spanish.
Their yelling and cheering could not change the way the game was played and what happened next.
When Spain scored a goal, the room went silent and then was overcome with shouts and growls of anger and animosity.
Although Paraguay lost the game against Spain, the Lawrence fans gathered at The Exchange were glad that Paraguay had played a great game and that they lost with pride.
"After the game I realized that they did a great job and we were all very proud of the players and how much passion they put into the game," Mora said.

Not even three weeks after the Big 12 was saved, Tuberville questioned the league's long-term viability in an interview with Rivals Radio.
"We have a 10-team league right now, but I just don't know how long that's going to last, to be honest with you." Tuberville said in the interview.
Tuberville's skepticism was driven by the disparity present in the deal in place that, in essence, saved the
Big 12.
The three schools driving realignment - Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma - were each offered contracts reportedly guaranteeing $20 million of revenue each year. The five schools most likely to be left behind - Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State and Missouri - pledged that should any of those three fall short of that revenue number they would pool together and pay the difference between the actual and guaranteed numbers.
"I don't think this conference will last long because there is too much disparity between all the teams," Tuberville, who most recently coached in the SEC at Auburn, said. "In the SEC, for instance, Vanderbilt makes as much money in the television contract as Florida. Everybody is good with it. Everybody is on the same page."
Tuberville's comments blatantly contradict the Big 12's standard line that all 10 schools are happy and committed for the long term. Jim Marchiony, associate athletic director at Kansas, reaffirmed Kansas' commitment to the league.
"All I can tell you is that we are very excited to be a member of the Big 12. Very proud to be a member of the Big 12," Marchiony said. "We anticipate being members of a very strong Big 12 for many years to come."
Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe, who issued a reprimand to Tuberville but stopped short of further action, said he was disappointed
by Tuberville's remarks.
"Tuberville's comments were unfortunate and contrary to the very strong feelings of unity expressed publicly and privately by the Big 12 Board of Directors and athletic directors." Beebe said.
Beebe wasn't free from criticism in Tuberville's interview. He cited the work Mike Slive and his predecessor Roy Kramer had done as commissioners of the SEC as good examples before questioning Beebe's leadership.
"It starts with the commissioner," he said, "and I think Mike Slive has done a good job. Roy Kramer did a good job of building a base where everybody was on the same page. And that just has not happened here in the Big 12."
WORLD CUP
Colombian cops find cocaine-laced trophy
BOGOTA, Colombia — Fans worldwide have fashioned replicas of the World Cup trophy out of everything from papier-mache to plastic. But a lawbreaker in Colombia gets top prize for most original material: cocaine.
Airports anti-drug chief Col. Jose Piedrahita says that Colombian authorities found the unusual statue during a routine security check by anti-drug agents Friday in a mail warehouse at Bogota's international airport.
The 36-centimeter-high (14-inch-high) statue was inside a box headed for Madrid, Spain. The statue was painted gold with green stripes on the base.
Piedrahita said Saturday that laboratory tests confirmed the cup was made of 11 kilos (24 pounds) of cocaine mixed with acetone or gasoline to make it moldable.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Player shows leadership off the court
BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com
As a dominating force on the women's basketball team, senior center Krysten Boogaard has accomplished what she left her native country of Canada to do. But this
summer, she will pursue another ambition.
The women's basketball team will hold a collection drive from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday between Allen Fieldhouse and Hoglund Ballpark to benefit the Willow
Domestic Violence Center. The idea for the drive came from a class project Boogaard participated in last semester.
"The more I started going there,the more I noticed that the shelter really needed more help."
"We had to find a non-profit organization that we wanted to help" Boogaard said. "The more I started
going there, the more I noticed that the shelter really needed more help."
Anderson contacted the center and organized the event to collect donations the center might need.
B o o g a r d helped by painting the walls and participating in fundraisers, but she said she still felt that wasn't enough. She said
"We'll be collecting anything and everything you can imagine a normal house needing: clothing, food, money donations, whatever people are willing to give." Boogaard said.
her group was only able to do so much, but felt her team would be able to help further.
"She came up to me after the completion of the project, insisting that they needed more and asked what we could put together," said Trena Anderson, director of women's basketball operations.
KRYSTEN BOOGAARD Senior center
"It's important to get the community involved in helping their efforts."
Any money collected at the event will be used to buy the dinners the shelter provides to battered women and their children.
"We're a team that likes to get involved in giving back to the community."
"The shelter holds about 20 to 25 women at max-capacity and a lot of the time women have to bring their children with them." Boogaard said. "So you can imagine, that's a lot of mouths to feed."
Sophomoreguard Angel Goodrich
ANGEL GOODRICH Sophomore guard
said she appreciated the leadership Boogaard has shown both on and off the court.
"We're a team that likes to get involved in giving back to the community, and she has helped start a big opportunity
for us to help women," Goodrich said.
Goodrich said this was an example of the positive and caring role Boogaard filled as a team leader.
"If she were to see someone who needed anything, shed be right there," Goodrich said. "She's just always thinking that."

'Scuse me? Hendrix bandmate sues over '03 release
MUSIC
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LODI, N.J. — Lonnie Youngblood was a hotshot sax player on the New York club circuit in the mid-1960s when he crossed paths with Jimmy James, a young musician who was turning heads with his dazzling virtuosity on the electric guitar.
After briefly playing in Youngblood's band, James went back to using his real last name and
conquered the music world as Jimi Hendrix, while Youngblood fronted a series of rhythm and blues bands that toured with James Brown, Jackie Wilson and other '60s legends.
The friendship between the two endured, though, and in 1969, at the peak of Hendrix's popularity, the two men recorded several songs in a New York studio that became a coda to their relationship when Hendrix died in London the following year of
a drug overdose.
The tunes recorded during those two or three days are the subject of a lawsuit Youngblood filed this spring that claims one of the songs, "Georgia Blues," was included on a 2003 compilation without his permission and without crediting him as its author.
The suit seeks unspecified lost-income damages from Hendrix's estate, MCA Records and film
director Martin Scorsese, who collaborated on the collection "Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues: Jimi Hendrix." Through representatives, all three parties declined to comment on the lawsuit or didn't return calls Monday.
The lawsuit has not marred Youngblood's memories of Hendrix, whom he describes in terms that evoke Chuck Berry's mythical "Johnny B. Goode."

Dining Services raises retail prices to cover higher projected operating costs
BY LUYAN WANG lwang@kansan.com
Retail prices at The Market in the Kansas Union, The Underground in Wescoe Hall and The Crimson Café in Burge Union, increased an average of 2 percent on July 1.
The increase was necessary because of anticipated increases in utility and food costs and other operating expenses, said University Dining Services director Nona Golledge. The last time Dining Services increased its prices was two years ago, by about 3 percent.
"Our goal is to provide cuisine
and services at a reasonable cost to our customers while remaining financially sound" Golledge said.
Dining Services was closely monitoring projected food costs for the coming 18 months before it finalized the price increase. Golledge said food costs in the U.S.have increased 3.5 to 5.5 percent during the past four years.
Many of Dining Services' franchise partners, such as Pizza Hut, increased their prices, which resulted in an increase in Dining Services' price. Golledge said Dining Services had researched food prices in the area to ensure it was offering a good
value to customers.
"Our price increases fall below the national food cost average," Golledge said.
Increased state sales tax also caused students to pay more when buying food from Dining Services. The Kansas sales tax increased 1 percent at the
city tax.

Lei Yu, an undergraduate student from China, came to The
Underground to eat her lunch every day last semester. Yu said she loved the Asian food there. Though the price was a little bit higher than she expected last semester, she said she could still accept it. Now, since the most recent price increase, Yu said she would eat in The Underground less frequently.
"I live in Jayhawker Towers now," Yu said, "I can make food by myself."
Golledge said jobs and employee salaries at Dining Services had not been affected by the increased operating costs.
LEGAL
Car dealership not liable in bus accident
Briggs Auto Group was found not liable in the 2006 Cat Tracker fan bus accident that led to the death of 27-year-old John Green.
The double-decker bus transported Kansas State fans to Lawrence for sports games. Green was standing atop the bus on Iowa Street when he struck his head on an overpass and died on November 18,2006.
Green's attorney claimed that Briggs was responsible for coloring the bus from yellow to purple and adding the upper deck before the bus was sold in February 2005.
The defendant claimed the bus was given away as a gift before the upper deck was added and did not take responsibility for the changes made to the bus.
His widow, Samantha Green, sued the dealership for allowing what she thought was an unsafe automobile on the streets.
Briggs was the last remaining defendant in the case. All others settled with the plaintiff out of court.

SENATE
WICHITA — U.S. Senate candidates Todd Tiahurt and Jerry Moran have sharpened their attacks on each other ahead of the two Kansas congressmen's final debate before the state's Aug. 3 Republican primary.
Candidates fight for conservative votes
During a televised debate Monday night, Tiahtr responded to the Moran campaign's claim that Tiahtr previously supported amnesty for illegal immigrants by saying Moran himself has backed amnesty. Both attacks are based on the candidates' votes or legislation they've supported; both candidates have said they don't support amnesty.
Tiahrt's campaign has launched a new ad suggesting Moran is soft on terrorism, and Moran is accusing Tiahrt of making false statements. The last of their three debates is Tuesday at a Wichita hotel, sponsored by the local chamber of commerce.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tiahrt also intensified his attack on Moran over votes in 2006 against legislation allowing military tribunals to try suspected terrorists. Tiahrt's new television ad features Gracia Burnham, a Kansas missionary held hostage in the Philippines in 2001 and 2002, criticizing Moran. She was wounded and her husband, Martin Burnham, died in the rescue
effort that freed her.
Tiahirt, whose campaign posts "mythbusters" about Moran on its website, said he's simply raising questions about Moran's record. Tiahirt said after the debate that Moran's record hasn't been examined thoroughly in his relatively easy congressional races.
Tiahrt and Moran are trying to appeal to GOP conservatives and the tea party movement. Tiahrt contends he's the more aggressive conservative, but Moran says Tiahrt is taking some votes on various issues out of context to portray him as inconsistent.
"I know it makes him uncomfortable, but it's the truth," Tiahrt said after the debate. "He can flail all he wants, but we do make sure that we document everything that we bring up."
"It's amazing that you can simply keep repeating a sentence over and over and over in hopes that the Kansas voter believes it," Moran said after Monday night's debate. "I hope that the people who listened to the things that Todd Tiahrt said won't believe them — don't believe them. They should not."
Monday night's debate was broadcast live by KWCH, the CBS affiliate in Wichita.
Tiahrt's claim that Moran supported amnesty for illegal immigrants is based on a vote by Moran in 2003 against a proposal to cut off federal funding to cities that wouldn't allow their law enforcement officials to provide information about immigrants to federal authorities.
Tiahrt argued that by voting against military tribunals in 2006, Moran supported constitutional rights for terrorists. In Tiahrt's latest television ad, Burnham says, "Mr. Moran, there's no excuse for this."
Moran's contention is based on Tiahrt's co-sponsoring of bills in 2002 and 2003 to help some illegal immigrants with college tuition, a position Tiahrt has since repudiated.
Moran said the 2006 legislation wasn't tough enough. His campaign released a statement from retired Lt. Gen. Rich Keller, former commander of U.S. troops in Europe, describing
Tiahrt's criticism as unfounded.
Tiahrt has represented the 4th District in south-central Kansas since 1995, and Moran has held the seat for the 1st District in western and central Kansas since 1997. Two other candidates are on the ballot for the GOP primary: Mound City accountant Tom Little and Overland Park attorney Robert Londerholm, who was Kansas attorney general in 1965-69.
Londerholm didn't participate in the debate, but Little did.
Five Democrats also are running for the Senate seat now held by Sam Brownback, a conservative Republican who's running for governor. Kansas hasn't elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932.

A collection of strange situations from around the world
Chili pepper delivery spices up remote seed vault
WASHINGTON — Wenk's Yellow Hots, Pico de Gallos and the unpredictably hot San Juan "Tsiles" chili peppers have arrived at a "doomsday" vault in the Arctic.
Sen. Ben Cardin says he and other congressmen delivered seeds from the pepper varieties on Sunday to a seed bank on the Svalbard archipelago.
Operators say the Svalbard Global Seed Vault has the world's most diverse repository of crop seeds and is a safeguard against war or natural disasters that could wipe out food crops.
In addition to peppers, seeds for plants including peanuts and melons were sent to the vault.
Maine woman gets stolen ring back after 28 years
AUBURN, Maine — A Maine woman's high school class ring is back in her possession 28 years after it was stolen.
Michelle Bilodeau hadn't seen her Edward Little High School class of 1983 ring since it was stolen during her junior year.
But on July 9, it was returned to her by a stranger who tracked her down on Facebook.
Angie Foster says she found the ring years ago at a roller skating rink. She had held onto it and called the high school to figure out who had the initials MMB that were engraved on the band.
Even after she learned Bilodeau's name, it took years for Foster to find her. It wasn't until Foster looked for her on Facebook that the search paid off.
LOS GATOS, Calif. — More than 100 people with nothing on but sunscreen crowded into a San Francisco Bay area swimming pool over the weekend trying to set a skinny dipping record.

Tortoise shows up in NH 4 years after disappearing
BRENTWOOD, N.H. — A New Hampshire couple says a 25-pound pet tortoise has reappeared four years after escaping from its pen.
Mike and Christine Wellington say their African spur thigh tortoise, Lucy, made off from their business in Brentwood. But on Friday, the Wellingtons received a call from a neighbor half a mile up the road that Lucy had reappeared.
The Wellingtons say they're certain the tortoise is theirs because of the unusual protruding bumps on its back.

President Barack Obama delivers an address to the employees of Smith Electric Vehicles at the company's plant in Kansas City, Mo. Thursday afternoon. After touring the facility, the president spoke about the state of the economy and met employees who work at the plant.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Barack Obama stepped out from behind a barricade, white shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows and lavender tie loosened just a bit around his neck, and told the 50 employees of Smith Electric Vehicles he was sorry.
President Barack Obama visited Smith Electric Vehicles in Kansas City,Mo., Thursday afternoon. The president toured the company's plant and gave remarks on the American economy.
It was no grand-scale apology —
he simply didn't hit the right cue for the musical fanfare that typically accompanies his entrance and walked to the stage in silence - but the apologetic tone lingered briefly as he talked about the current state of the American economy.
Obama also acknowledged the difficulties some families faced with "stagnant" incomes and rising tuition costs.
"We've gone through as bad an economic situation as we've had since the Great Depression," he said. "This recession was the culmination of a decade of irresponsibility, a decade that fell like a sledgehammer on middle class families."
His speech centered, however, on projects like Smith Electric Vehicles, which benefited from a $32 million dollar government grant and is now on pace to double its work force by the end of the year.

another government program," Obama said. "Our goal has been to spur growth in the private sector."
The company designs and builds commercial electric vehicles that can haul more than 16,000s pounds over 100 miles using only one initial charge. Obama cited the company as one of several success stories of "promising, innovative businesses" across the country.
All the companies he cited as recovering government grants were all related in some way to renewable, sustainable energy, an industry Obama made clear was at the fore of his economic agenda.
"This nation leads the industries of the future," he said.
With the rise of Smith Electric and similar companies across the country, Obama said the United States could grow from producing just 2 percent of the world's advanced batteries for electric and hybrid cars to producing as much as 40 percent within the next five years.
"All these efforts, taken together, are making a difference," Obama said. "A year and a half ago, our economy was shrinking 6 percent a year. Now it's growing. The economy was bleeding jobs, now we've created private sector jobs for six consecutive months."
The slow progress gave the President an optimistic outlook for the future, even though it may not come tomorrow.
"We're not there. We've got a long way to go!" he said. "but we are moving in the right direction. The surest way out of the storm is to go forwards."

KU too cautious in study abroad choice
I find myself regretting not travel ing abroad for a semester or more as I come to grips with my extra time in the Free State.
Had I elected to spend a summer honing the Spanish I must now perfect post-graduation, Puebla, Mexico would have been a potential, if not likely, destination. It is the site of the University's Summer Language Institute and is located in central Mexico, about 70 miles from Mexico City.
Eighteen students were to study there this summer, but a Department of State travel warning specific to the country's northern border states necessitated other plans per University policy.
I spoke to Sue Lorenz, director of the Office of Study Abroad about the influence of drug-related

violence on study abroad programs. She said that because the advisory was issued in March and later reissued April 12 - the office was afforded enough time for alternate plans. As a result, 15 of the 18 students agreed to relocate their studies to Costa Rica.
All this despite the fact that Puebla is located hundreds of miles and several hours away from the thickest areas of drug-related content. Yet this matters not as
University policy dictates that students may not be sent by the college to any country with a travel warning, regardless of the specifics of the advisory.
"What we're just seeing is a straight up cautious policy," Lorenz said. "Here we can be sure we have not sent students where the place is volatile. The University is saying we're using our best and broadest judgment."
The University is not alone in adopting such policies and caution must be exercised in critiquing measures taken for safety reasons. Still, this blanket policy begs the question of whether a more nuanced approach to interpreting travel advisories can be taken. It can.
Even the most selective consum
ers of news are aware of the grisly nature of drug-related violence in Mexico and around the U.S.-Mexico border. One or more reports of beheadings, daylight firefights or assassinations arrive each week. The situation in areas of cartel influence is indeed dire.
This is not to say that the country as a whole is impassable. Those studying in Costa Rica this summer will need to exercise the same caution that would have been recommended in Puebla. Furthermore, we too often take for granted that just as many locations in our own country require as much or more caution.

Our generation should learn to take risks
KRAKOW, POLAND — If Scott Nicholson's story defines life as a millennial then I'm embarrassed to include myself among his generational peers.
Nicholson is the subject of a recent New York Times article titled, "American Dream Is Elusive for New Generation." The crux of the story is simple enough. Nicolson, a recent college graduate, has spent the past five months searching for a job. When a job offer at a local insurance company finally materializes, he turns it down. Apparently a $40,000 starting salary equates to "dead-end work" in the tragic life of Scott Nicolson.
Instead of taking the job, Nicholson continues his search for a "corporate

position" that would put him on the "bottom rungs of a career ladder." In the meantime, he continues to live with his parents, who cover his room and board. health insurance premiums and even his cell phone bill. This might explain the ease at which he turned down the job offer.
the article isn't Nicolson's narcissistic sense of entitlement or even his naive optimism. Sadly enough, both are defining characteristics of the millennial generation.
What I found most disheartening was a quote by Lisa B. Kahn, an economist at the Yale School of Management. According to Kahn, millennials are "definitely more risk-averse" than their parents and grandparents were at our age, a claim she supports in a recent study.
Nicolson fits into the article's narrative so perfectly that it's a wonder any exception could exist. Are millennials really a bunch of stay-at-home, nothing's-ever-good-enough wimps?
Not if you ask A.J. Goldmann.
Goldmann, a freelance journalist and recent college graduate, lives and works in Berlin. Though he supplements his freelancing career by guiding tours and performing monthly stand-up comedy, he's happy there. He's even found time to work on his first novel.
Of course Goldmann could have found a job back home or applied for graduate schools as his parents had encouraged. But he had grown restless in New York City, where he had spent his entire life. After spending a previous summer in Berlin completing research for his thesis, he was yearning for an excuse to go back.

A Jayhawker's guide to the sci-fi galaxy
Camps and conferences held on campus help science fiction writers improve their skills, offer perspectives on the craft
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
James Gunn first met Theodore Sturgeon in 1952 in Sturgeon's home on the Hudson River. They discussed their craft; writing science-fiction novels and short stories.
Gunn had yet to be published, but was an aspiring author. Sturgeon had released his first novel and a collection of short stories and was on his way to becoming, as Gunn put it, "one of the best, if not the best, short story writers in the field."
Fifty-eight years later, Gunn, now a Hugo Award-winning author himself and the director of the Center for the Study of Science Fiction, discusses the craft annually at the Campbell Conference at the University of Kansas with other aspiring and established writers. This year, the conference is in large part dedicated to Sturgeon and his body of work.
The conference,which runs Friday
through Sunday at the University, is an annual gathering of some of the brightest minds in science fiction for free-form discussions and the presentation of two prestigious awards: the Campbell Award, given to the best science fiction novel of the year, and the Sturgeon Award for the best short science-fiction story of the year.
This year, the conference's roundtable discussions will focus on the topic "Theodore Sturgeon and the Science Fiction Short Story."
"It was primarily the short story at which he excelled," Gunn said, though Sturgeon also wrote several novels. "He brought a level of literary skills to science-fiction writing that had scarcely been observed before."
Sturgeon died in 1985, but his daughter Noel, who is part of the Sturgeon Award committee, finished the last volume of his completed works this year. This prompted the conference hosts to delve into
the works of the namesake of their short-story award.
"He would have been very touched," she said. "He loved coming to Kansas to teach in the summer for many years and the Center for Science Fiction held a special place in his heart."
The free-form discussion, Gunn said, is a place to address the present and future of the science fiction field.
Gunn said they brainstorm ideas together and ask crucial questions regarding the status of the science fiction short story and how its nature has changed. They also speculate over factors that have influenced the writing, publishing and reading of science fiction.
In addition to the roundtable discussions, there will be readings of Sturgeon's works from 10:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Oread Books in the Kansas Union, followed by a mass autographing session with almost a dozen award-winning authors.
CAMP DRAWS WRITERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
For the past 25 years, writers from all over the world have come together for two weeks in the summer to evaluate, edit and rewrite their work.
The Science Fiction and Fantasy Novel Writer's Workshop is a camp held at the University every July. KU professors coach and guide writers who can be University students or come from as far away as Japan, Denmark or Argentina.
"It brings writers from all over to Lawrence for two intensive weeks of writing and trying to develop their skills," said James Gunn, a fiction writing professor and coach at the camp.
The writers submit three stories to be considered for admission. The goal of the camp is to improve one of those stories in the first week and discuss it the second week.
"I think several of them are publishable." Gunn said.
Gunn said one of the problems that writers have is writer's block — when they can't think of what to write. He said professor Kij Johnson, who also helps lead the camp, uses sock puppets as a way of trying to break through it when she teaches the writers at the camp.
Gunn said last year, one of the students who revised his story at the camp had it published this summer.
Gunn has had 41 books published, including 11 novels and some short stories. He has been teaching fiction writing since 1960. Also leading the writers is professor Chris McKitterick.
Writers stay in Lewis Hall for the duration of the camp and meet for three hours to discuss their writing every day.

stokes the possibility for emerging stereotypes. Mexico is a beautiful land with vast cultural opportunities. Its beauty, however, is often overshadowed by the drug war and immigration debate.
The University would do well by adopting the response procedures to travel warnings as suggested by the National Association of Foreign Student Advisors, or NAFSA.
It suggests a variety of stakeholders at the institution be involved in reviewing the warning, contacting relevant partners abroad to gauge what risks are of concern, establishing emergency response plans and
A report outlining eight suggested guidelines was published on NAFSAS website on March 22.
comparing activities and program locations to the areas mentioned in the travel advisory.
Though this could easily be met with ignorance and generalities about the state of affairs in Mexico, it bears repeating that it is indeed possible to be too cautious.
We stand to lose a great deal in a world of opportunity if we do not take risks. A more nuanced approach to travel advisories would mean that the risks study-abroad participants and the University take would be calculated and, ultimately, rewarded.

Author talks about local hauntings
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
It's a chair rocking with no one in it. It's a mysterious glow with no source. It's ghoulish trickery. It's how Beth Cooper makes a living.
Cooper, author of "Ghosts of Kansas," held a book signing at the Lawrence Public Lawrence Library July 6. The crowd consisted mostly of children captivated by their own fantasies of and adults who have had
their own experiences with the paranormal.
But the presentation didn't glorify the paranormal. It was the stories that made these phantasms come to life.
The most haunted place on campus is Stubbs Mansion, now home to Sigma Nu fraternity.
"Without the history, there are no ghosts," Cooper said.
"Ghosts of Kansas" covers several supposedly haunted cities, such as Atchison, Kansas City, Leavenworth, Manhattan and Lawrence.
Lawrence's most notable ghastly infestations include Haskell School, where Native American children were "educated" — stripped of their culture and language in order to be integrated into white society. Many died from disease while living at the school, which is now Haskell Indian Nations University.
The most haunted place on the KU campus is Stubbs Mansion, now home to Sigma Nu fraternity. A long-haired woman is often seen walking down the halls of the fraternity.
But perhaps the most haunted place in all of Lawrence, Cooper said, is the Eldridge Hotel on 7th and Massachusetts. The most documented ghost, the "elevator ghost," will sometimes take elevator users to the fifth floor when they intended to go to another.
Room 506 has a piece of the original building, which burned down when William Quantrill and his pro-slavery forces from Missouri raided the city in 1865. Some believe there is a spirit gateway on the fifth floor.
Cooper grew up in Topeka, where hearing local folklore prepared her
for her current paranormal lifestyle.
In 1990, while hosting a radio show in Holton, a group of ghost hunters came on Cooper's show. She joined them visiting local
haunted areas. That adventure motivated her to find out more about paranormal activity.
"Cocktails were involved," she said. "Everybody had a great time."
Now Cooper and her sister are in their eighth year of hosting tours
covering haunted parts of Kansas and Missouri.
Her experiences make her an expert on dealing with the paranormal. For instance, if you encounter a ghost, you can simply ask it to leave. They don't
belong here, Cooper said. We do.
Though she said most spirits are harmless, ghosts cause the negativity you feel when you walk into a room. They feed off human energy

Of course, not everyone believes in ghosts and Cooper has seen this plenty of times. She said she's not here to change anyone's mind, but they should try a tour and see for themselves.
As far as other myths you might see in The National Enquirer, Cooper is skeptical. No one can
prove the power of ESP, and UFOs could be made on Earth for all we know. Even Einstein's theory of quantum physics is just a theory.
But Cooper has felt and seen the power of
ghosts. She has seen the inexplicable enough times to believe it.

Incoming freshman Amelia Wilson wasn't nervous about moving to Lawrence in the fall.
But she wanted to know some basic moves to protect herself.
So, Wilson and her mother Virginia traveled from their home in Baldwin City on July 8 to attend a self-defense workshop to learn important safety information that could ward off a potential attacker.
SAFETYTIPS
Have keys in your hand before you walk to your car.
Keep your car maintained and with a full tank of gas.
Walk with confidence and self-assurance.
Don't let strangers know your schedule.
Three times a semester and once in the summer, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center provides free self-defense workshops for students at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center. The program is also open to non-students for a $5 fee. Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, spoke at the workshop. She warned that seemingly normal decisions can give attackers useful information.
"Personalized license plates are my pet peeve," Rose-Mockry said. "If your license plate says 'Susie',

Rose-Mockry said it's important for people to realize that anyone could be a target, but that basic precautions can lower a person's attack risk.

Rose-Mockry said Facebook accounts, mailboxes with names on them and public cell phone conversations can all give attackers clues to manipulate their victims. The workshop included hand-outs for participants that emphasized safety at home, on the streets, in vehicles and in relationships.
Rose-Mockry also said being aware and assertive can help ward off a potential attacker. She said that as children, we trust our natural instincts, but as we grow older we are conditioned out of them and
told to not jump to conclusions.
"You learn to turn off those feelings of discomfort, your gut feelings." Rose-Mockry said. "I'm challenging you to turn them back on."
Participants spent the majority of the workshop learning basic self-defense moves from Don Booth of Premier Martial Arts. He told the class to "put their warrior faces on," and make as much noise possible.
"Bad guys don't like noise," Booth said. "Feel free to yell and scream."
For an hour and a half, participants were striking, jabbing, pivoting and punching, learning moves such as "the hammerstrike."
Nataly Ozak, a graduate student from Colombia, and Josefina Llinas, a Lawrence resident, came to the workshop together after seeing fliers in the rec center. Neither of them had attended a self-defense workshop before, but they said it was a valuable experience.

300 arrested in major anti-crime sweep in Italy
BY ALESSANDRA RIZZO
Associated Press
ROME — Italian police launched one of their biggest operations ever against the powerful 'ndrangheta crime syndicate on Tuesday, arresting 300 people including top bosses and seizing millions worth of property in pre-dawn raids.
The man believed to be the 'ndrangheta's top boss, Domenico Oppedisano, was picked up in Rosarno, a small coastal town in Calabria, the southern region where the organization is based, police said.
Also arrested was the man in charge of the gang's businesses in Milan, where the 'ndrangheta has been making major inroads.
The raids Tuesday involved some 3,000 police across the country. Those arrested faced charges including murder, extortion, arms and drug trafficking and criminal association.
Investigators described the operation as one of the biggest blows ever to an organization that is now considered more powerful than the Sicilian Mafia. Interior Minister Roberto Maroni said the sweep struck at the heart of the 'ndrangheta in both its organization and its finances.
The biggest operation was in the Milan region of Lombardy, where 160 people were reportedly arrested. They included businessmen and the director of state medical services in the city of Pavia.
The sweep dismantled some of the most powerful families in the organization, Italian news agencies said. It also enabled investigators to shed light on the 'ndrangheta's structure and power hierarchy.
The last big operation against the Calabrian mob came in the 1990s. Since then, it has expanded its power, not only in Italy but in such countries as Germany.
A clan war spread to Germany in 2007, when six Italians were gunned down by a rival gang in retribution for an earlier killing as they left a birthday party in the
western city of Duisburg. Italian officials have said all three people responsible for the shooting have been arrested.
Prosecuters say wiretaps are key to investigating hard-to-infiltrate mafia clans, and have complained bitterly against a proposed new bill that aims to limit the use of electronic eavesdropping. Premier Silvio Berlusconi, who has been stung by embarrassing disclosures in published transcripts of private conversations mostly unrelated to investigations, is pushing the measure through parliament.
Anti-mafia prosecutors say Milan has become the economic center for the organization, which migrated to the north in the 1970s and 1980s. Nearly all of the clans are present in Lombardy.
While terrorism and mafia investigations are exempt from the proposed restrictions, magistrates complain that big probes often stem from low-level criminal cases. Passage of the law, they say, will protect criminals operating in Italy.
The restrictions include a strict time limit on wiretaps, which prosecutors say is insufficient, and a level of proof needed to obtain permission to launch the wiretaps that investigators charge is tantamount to evidence needed for a conviction.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Instant connection changes experience
BY JANENE GIER jgier@kansan.com
At concerts, the once-standard sea of lighters is replaced by a sea of cell phone screens, often lit with text messages and Facebook posts. Wireless devices have changed the way we experience events and the connections we make with people while at those events.
This change is a reflection that we, as a social species, like to be in touch, said Sam Gosling, associate professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.
"I think it speaks to people's constant need to be known and need to be attached to one another," he said.
"If I'm enjoying an event, I can share that with someone," Lauren Brown, a senior from Hermitage, Mo., said. "Or if I'm frustrated, I can share that, too."
Brown said her phone is always on and she likes to answer text messages and calls immediately.
What once was an escape from the world and a chance to hang out with a group sharing a common interest, is now a reason to update a Facebook status while watching "Eclipse" at the theater, text a friend in the middle of a Lady Gaga concert, or Tweet a reaction after a winning World Cup goal while sitting at the sports bar.
Mobile phones were once used primarily for emergencies. Now they seem to be a necessity, providing
immediate connections at the touch of a button or screen.
Gosling, a Facebook researcher, said online social networking helps us to fulfil the social demands that we have.
"We have a basic need to stay in touch with our group members, but the size of our groups has outstripped our cognitive ability to keep up with them all," Gosling said.
In Stone Age times we lived in
small groups of fewer than 200 people and didn't meet more than 200 more people in a lifetime, Gosling said. He said we replicate that now and actually tend to keep in contact with a relatively select group of people on sites like
going on in our lives, Gosling said.
Joe Garvey, a senior from Valley Center, said everyone wants to have their thoughts and opinions regarded and listened to, and they want to be in a community in which their advice is recognized.
"Social media gives them the forum to share their everyday experiences," said Garvey, who is also an interactive advertising intern at E.W. Scripps.
"I think it speaks to people's constant need to be known and need to be attached to one another."
Facebook, despite the hundreds of "friends" we maintain.
Because it's a somewhat honest representation of ourselves, posting information about where we are and what we're doing is basically a way to let our group of people know what's
SAM GOSLING Associate professor of psychology, University of Texas
Gosling's latest research,published earlier this year and conducted in collaboration with six other psychologists, studied whether people reflect their actual personality on Facebook. The results showed that people are pretty good at portraying themselves as they actually are.
Most people will say they don't immediately care whether their friends checked in at a baseball stadium or a new restaurant, Garvey said, but he thinks that kind of word-of-mouth
advertising is a fun system. He said a friend's suggestion could prompt him to check out a new place.
"It is showing the way we now appreciate events. One person can transmit to dozens, hundreds, thousands of people their thoughts on the concert, the party, the ball game," Garvey said.
When we see those things from our friends and family, Garvey said, we tend to believe it, positive or negative.

RESEARCH
Student recognized for green chemistry
[Image of a person in a laboratory setting, wearing a white lab coat and glasses.]

Madhav Ghanta, a graduate student from Hyderbad, India, recently was awarded the Kenneth G. Hancock Memorial Award in Green Chemistry. Ghanta is the first student from the university to win the award.
BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com
Plastic bottles, antifreeze, paints and detergents — all common household items that contribute to the increasing rate of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. A few KU researchers, though, are working to lessen that effect.
Madhav Ghanta, a doctoral student in chemical and petroleum engineering, received national recognition for his work in green technology that makes the production of plastic less environmentally adverse.
For two years Ghanta, from Hyderbad, India, and his research team experimented with alternative ways to produce ethylene-oxide, an industrial chemical used in consumer goods.
"There's a lot of emphasis on environmentally benign and clean technologies." Ghanta said. "It's very exciting to see my work on the same platform as those that are already impactive."
The American Chemical Society presented Ghanta the Kenneth G. Hancock Memorial Award in Green Chemistry last month in Washington, D.C. He collaborated with Hyun-Jin Lee, a postdoctoral researcher, and worked under the guidance of Bala Subramaniam, a professor of chemical and petroleum engineering, and Daryle Busch, a professor of chemistry, at the University's Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis to develop the greener technology.
Ghanta said existing technologies produced an environmentally adverse and economically inefficient carbon dioxide by-product, contributing to the 3.4 million total tons of CO2 annually. The amount of CO2 emissions equates to the annual pollution created by about 900,000 cars, more than 11 times the amount generated from the 79,270 registered cars in Douglas County. Ghanta said
their technology produced ethyleneoxide, without generating the CO2 by-product.
Subramaniam said he was proud to see that Ghanta's work had led to a technological breakthrough.
"We don't have to produce materials the way we always have, we can find ways to lessen the environmental footprint for the next generations," Subramaniam said.
Ghanta said there has been a lot of interest in the technology, but there was still a lot of work to do. He's now running an economic analysis to determine his technology's commercial potential. He said he hoped it would be cheaper because of decreased waste and less energy use. Ultimately, he said he needed to assess whether rhenium, the metal he used, had a longer lifespan
than the traditionally used and less expensive silver.
"It can't be commercially successful if it's not economically viable so companies make money out of the deal," Ghanta said. "The objective is to develop green technology that is environmentally sustainable, but to do that you need to see commercial success."
Ghanta said dense populations and high pollution in India drove him to investigate sustainability. He said the 1984 Bhopal gas leak motivated him and served as a reminder that obsolete technologies can be harmful to both the environment and populations. The largest industrial catastrophe to date cost thousands of Bhopalis their lives. More than 20 years later, the Dow Chemical Company still faces legal
After receiving his undergraduate degree in India, Ghanta said he was eager to study at the University.
repercussions.
"I had heard about the engineering department and I knew I wanted to study here, I just hoped they would take me," Ghanta said.
He said he would eventually return to India where the market is rapidly growing, commercial demand is changing and most chemical companies have research centers.
"Everyone in the U.S. has access to environmentally friendly commercial commodities, but if you look at the market in India, the billion people living there do not," Ghanta said.
Ghanta said that as product demand increased, his commitment to cleaner production also increased.
Claudia Bode, education director at the center, said demand for similar products will continue to increase as it has in past years.
"The volume of things used with this chemical continues to grow, especially as other countries like India and China begin to grow and their standard of living goes up," Bode said.
Subramanian agreed that as demand increased, the production of CO2 would increase proportionately. He said the increase couldn't be predetermined, but as other countries showed greater interest in green technology, technological impacts could be significant.
The Center focuses on high-volume commodity chemicals, like ethylene-oxide, because they are in high demand worldwide. Minimizing CO2 waste generated in their production could have a broad effect in creating more sustainable lifestyles for the global community in the long-term, Bode said.
Still, she said because increased consumption was also a significant concern, large industries and individual consumers needed to find ways to reduce waste and consumption.
Shannon O'Lear, a professor of environmental studies and geography, said other ways of addressing environmental concerns, like decreasing consumption, were uncomfortable and politically messy. She said the green movement was centralized around issues like CO2 emissions that were quantitatively tangible, but allowed people to overlook measures of how much populations consume, how they generate waste and if they should consume at such high levels.
"Just thinking about your carbon footprint is like only focusing on not eating sugar for your diet," O'Lear said. "Research that deals with lessening CO2 is important, but it's not the silver bullet."

Former technician says veterans' clinic was irresponsibly handling equipment
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — A former medical supply technician at the St. Louis VA Medical Center told a congressional hearing Tuesday that she warned more than a year ago that dental equipment sterilization was inadequate, but her pleas were ignored.
Earlene Johnson spoke at a special hearing in St. Louis called by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. The committee convened the hearing after the VA sent letters two week ago, warning 1,812 veterans treated at the St. Louis dental clinic that lapses in sterilization of dental equipment potentially exposed them to viruses including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV.
A VA official said Tuesday that some veterans have since tested positive for the viruses but it was too soon
to tell if the dental equipment was the cause.
Johnson had worked at other VA hospitals and went to work in St. Louis in December 2008 in the sterilization division. She did not work directly in the dental division but said she saw flaws in dental sterilization.
She said that starting in March 2009, she tried to alert VA officials at the St. Louis center and in Washington about the inadequacies, but no one listened. It was a full year later that VA notified veterans of the sterilization problem and urged them to get blood tests. Meanwhile, Johnson was fired — she believed because of the concerns she raised. She is appealing to get her job back.
"What happened in the dental clinic shouldn't have ever happened," Johnson said during testimony. "If people were taking their jobs seriously, not passing the buck and pointing the finger, none of this would have happened."
The VA determined in March
2010 that lapses in dental sterilization had occurred from Feb. 1, 2009, through March, 11, 2010. As part of the investigation, dental services chief Danny L. Turner was put on administrative leave. An internal investigation is

planned in addition to the congressional inquiry.
EARLENE JOHNSON former medical supply technician
Dr. Robert Petzel, VA undersecretary for health, said the problem arose because workers prewashing dental equipment failed to use a detergent before the equipment was sterilized
"Even though the risk of infect-
is a high price to pay for those men and women who have already paid so much on behalf of this nation," Petzel said in written testimony to the committee.
Procedures have been corrected, Petzel
said, so those who have undergone procedures since March 11 are not considered at risk.
Dr. George Arana of the Veterans Health Administration said 950 veterans have come in for free blood screenings so far, and some have tested positive for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. He would not say specifically how many have tested positive nor what viruses they had but stressed that more testing is necessary to determine the cause.
St. Louis VA medical facilities provide services for veterans in Missouri and Illinois. Five members of the Missouri delegation and two from Illinois participated in the St. Louis hearing in a packed courtroom of the Eagleton U.S. Courthouse.
Veteran Terri Odom told the committee she went to the dental clinic for partial dentures and noticed "dirty and rusty" molding pieces and a filthy room. Odom told the committee she suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder from military sexual trauma while serving in the Navy.
"So with my panic attacks and anxiety level already on overdrive, this terrible mistake by the VA has made me even more anxious."

Stores prepare for Sidewalk Sale
U

Andrea Morgan has a $100 budget and she needs make it stretch. She's looking for tops, skirts and jewelry. At the 50th Annual Sidewalk Sale Thursday, she can find what she's looking for.
More than 80 stores on Massachusetts Street will participate in the sale, some opening as early as 5 a.m.
Jane Pennington, director of Downtown Lawrence, Inc., said she thought the sale was originally planned as a way to clear out stockrooms and get ready for the return of students. Now, she said it was one of the biggest days of the year for the stores that participate.
"It's become a real shot in the arm for everybody," Pennington said. "It's about making the most of one day as possible."
Morgan, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said she would head to the sale at about 11 a.m. after her classes end for the day. She said her strategy for the day was to head to the newly marked sale stuff first and then the already-marked sale items last.
The sale will be from sunrise to sunset, rain or shine. Businesses had to buy sidewalk permits for the day, and Pennington said she estimated last year there were between 10,000 and 15,000 people at the sale. She said the sidewalks would be really crowded.
"There's not as good of stuff in the super-sale section," she said.
"We slash prices," he said. "And

Smith said he knew it would be a hot and humid day and that the store would have Red Bull and Monster energy drinks chilled outside for those who needed it.
Allison Yoder, a recent KU graduate from Lawrence, said she wouldn't be hitting the sale until later in the day.
"I'd rather pay full price than go in a huge crowd and be hot," she said.
Pennington said to get the best deals though, the earlier shoppers got out there, the better.
I am a student at Northwestern University.
"I've gone once or twice. I know a bunch of my friends will stay up all night and then they'll go right when it opens. It's pretty competitive, actually. People will just go crazy for the deals. I just kind of like browsing everything. It's a lot of variety. So many stores have different things."

Duo sings about Harry Potter and life at Hogwarts

Joe and Paul DeGeorge are scarffree, brown-haired and brown-eyed. But for the brothers and their fans, they're close enough to the mythic "boy who lived."
J. K. Rowling described Harry Potter as a wiry boy with jet-black hair, green eyes and a trademark lightning bolt scar.
The Norwood, Mass., brothers tour as Harry and the Potters, a two-man "wizard rock" band that exclusively plays songs about Rowling's instant-classic series.
On July 7, they took their act to the Lawrence Public Library and performed for a fanatic crowd of about 200 that ranged from kids and their parents to University students.
"They're the pioneers of wizard rock," Garrett Childers, a senior from Lawrence, said. "They're like the Led

Zeppelin of wizard rock. If you're a Harry Potter fan, you have to see them at some point in your life"
"We thought it was kind of a cool, goofy idea," Joe said. "It's like one of those band ideas people have but never do anything about."
The brothers DeGeorge did something about the idea, though, and now they've been playing and touring for eight years, debating between the releases of the fourth and fifth books. After releasing their first album, "Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!", Paul said word spread across the Internet and they started getting requests from fans to come play their hometowns.
"People started saying, 'Oh, man it would be awesome if you could play in, like, Dallas,' Paul said. "I never thought we could play in Dallas. So we just packed up the minivan and hit
the road."
Wednesday's performance was the brothers' fifth in Lawrence. They've played at four different local venues — The Dusty Bookshelf, the library, the Jackpot Saloon and the Replay Lounge — since 2004.
Paul lived in Lawrence for nine months and his girlfriend recently graduated with a master's degree from the University.
"We've got some hardcore Lawrence connections," he said. "We just wanted to spend her birthday and Joe's birthday around here."
Some fans had less connection to Lawrence than the brothers did., traveling in some instances from as far as Springfield, Mo., and Omaha.
"For a lot of those kids who are here, it's probably their first concert ever," Paul said. "We want to get them psyched up for that. We want it to be a blast. We want to be the best first concert experience ever."

Law could make books cheaper
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
The hefty cost of books could decrease thanks to a new federal textbook price disclosure law that went into effect July 1.
The law requires publishers to clearly state their prices and the changes made to every new edition of textbooks. This will give professors the information needed to choose less expensive books for their courses.
---
Faculty must give their lists of required books to the book stores sooner, allowing students to know exactly how much a course will cost before enrolling. Professors were required to submit their book lists by March 15 for the fall semester.
tor, said.
As a part of HEOA, or the Higher Education Opportunity Act, the law was created to provide more information to both teachers and students in an attempt to help students save money.

"The goal is to allow students the information up front so they know the true cost of the course."
"It limits the publishers' ability to rip people off," Allen said. "They're able to take advantage of students because they don't have a choice."
Professors were not denied information like the prices of books before the law passed, but it was

"It's hard to let your students use the older editions because then there's not enough of them for all the students." Greene said. "It's kind of being forced to buy the newer edition."

Faculty members must also abide by the law to their greatest ability. McCollum said that although there are some cases in which professors can't list their books by the required date, those who do are helping students save money.

Police recommend charges for hazing
PITTSBURG — Pittsburg State University police are recommending charges against 15 people in an alleged hazing incident involving students from a southwest Missouri high school.
The incident occurred last month during a football camp on the university campus and involved members of the Seneca High School team. Fifteen students are suspected of hazing 17 alleged victims.
The university announced Monday the campus police investigation has been sent to the Crawford County prosecutor, who will decide whether to file charges. The Joplin Globe reports that campus police recommended charges ranging from felony aggravated battery to misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor hazing.

BeerGenius finds the brew for you
BY RICHELLE BUSER
rbuser@kansan.com
Jameson Huckaba supports local brewery.
an average of two beers a day, favors abolishing restrictive beer laws and is occasionally given free beer. And it's all just part of his job.
Huckaba
In the summer of 2006, at 23rd
Street Brewery with friend Jeffery Ward, former KU student Huckaba pondered the potential of a Food Network show specializing in the growing craft beer market. From their brainstorming, the idea for their BeerGenius website was born. Huckaba began traveling the country while working with co-founder Ward to develop written reviews,
blogs and video segments as a beer critic.
"BeerGenius is meant to make interesting beer more approachable through education and amusement," Huckaba said, "As well as give you and your friends yet another reason to come together to appreciate beer and life."
Brian "Bucky" Buckingham, the head brewer at 23rd Street Brewery, had his beers profiled by Huckaba for the BeerGenius website. Buckingham said the attention BeerGenius brings to craft beers is a reflection of its increasing popularity.
"It's definitely a growing industry," Buckingham said, "I think the craft-beer movement is exploding and just starting to really take off out here in the Midwest."
Huckaba compared the public interest in craft beers today to the wine-tasting phenomenon
that sprouted 10 years ago. Ward, a University graduate and current culinary student, said that just like wine, pairing beer with certain
foods was important to enhance and compliment flavors. Together, Huckaba and Ward review craft beers for others who may not have been brave enough to try them on their own. By increasing exposure to crafts, BeerGenius tries

Huckabala said there are many factors that can influence the beer a person is attracted to.

"There are so many types of beer out there," Ward said, "If people learn from those who know about beer then I'm sure they can find a
"The neat thing about beer is that there are so many styles available, and there's one for every mood I may have, season, company, situation or genre of music I may be listening to," he said.
Even though Be<sup>e</sup>r<sup>Genius</sup> is
represented primarily through its Internet presence, Huckaba said its goals revolved more around what readers did offline than what they learned while surfing the website.
"We're looking to build something that becomes an everyday part of our readers' lives — social interaction with the people you care about, all while drinking good beer," Huckaba said.
In Lawrence, students can taste local craft beers at Free State Brewery and 23rd Street Brewery. With a reservation and a short drive to Kansas City, Mo., they can also take a free tour of the Boulevard Brewery.
Huckaba recently moved to Portland, Ore., where July is Oregon Craft Beer Month. Ward, a Lawrence resident, will collaborate with Huckaba from across the country. In the future, Huckaba said he hoped to see more communities embracing the craft-beer industry.
"We want to get people to engage in really good beer," Huckaba said,
"The more people we can get in front of and show how much fun we're having, the better."

France prepares to ban Islamic face veils
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — France's lower house of parliament appeared ready Tuesday to approve a ban on burqa-like Islamic veils, a move that is popular among French voters despite concerns from Muslim groups and human rights advocates.
The issue is potent in Europe: Several other countries have similar proposals in the works, including Belgium and Spain, and they are closely watching the bill's progress in France.
After Tuesday's vote, the ban on face-covering veils will go in September to the Senate, where it is also likely to pass. Its biggest hurdle will likely come after that, when France's constitutional watchdog scrutinizes it. Some legal scholars say there is a chance it could be deemed unconstitutional.
The main body representing French Muslims says face-covering veils are not required by Islam and
not suitable in France, but it worries that the law will stigmatize Muslims in general.
France's has Europe's largest Muslim population, estimated to be about 5 million of the country's 64 million people. While ordinary headscarves are common, only about 1,900 women in France are believed to wear face-covering veils. Champions of the bill say they oppress women.
With the proposed ban, the government is also seeking to insist that integration is the only path for immigrant minorities. France has had difficulty integrating generations of immigrants and their children, as witnessed by weeks of rioting by youths, many of them minorities, in troubled neighborhoods in 2005.
At the National Assembly, the lower house, relatively few dissenters have spoken out about civil liberties or fears of fanning anti-Islam sentiment.

Obama reveals plan to fight AIDS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is announcing a new national strategy for combatting HIV and AIDS aimed at helping reduce the number of infections and providing those living with the virus high-quality care free from stigma or discrimination.
The strategy calls for reducing the rate of new HIV infections by 25 percent over the next five years, and for getting treatment to 85 percent of patients within three months of their diagnosis.
Administration officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and domestic policy chairwoman Melody Barnes, were to unveil the strategy at the White House on Tuesday. Obama was to discuss the strategy at a reception honoring the work of the HIV and AIDS community later in the day.
"This is a moment of opportunity for the nation," Obama said in a report to be released
Tuesday. "Now is the time to build on and refocus our existing efforts to deliver better results for the American people."
The report is the result of more than a year of discussions between the administration, state and local officials, advocacy groups and the private sector. While the strategy calls for improved coordination among federal agencies, it doesn't identify any new government money to implement the strategy.
Approximately 56,000 people in the U.S. become infected each year with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and more than 1.1 million Americans are living with the HIV, according to the White House.
The new policy will concentrate HIV prevention efforts at the highest-risk populations, which include gay and bisexual men as well as black Americans, far more than is done today, said Chris Collins of the Foundation for AIDS Research, one of the groups that met with administration officials.

KU Public Safety debuts crime-mapping project
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
A new crime-mapping system on campus will help protect the KU community and work as rumor control.
The website, www.crimereports. com, will allow users to visually see where crimes occur. The KU Department of Public Safety debuted the mapping tool this month.
KU Public Safety Chief Ralph Oliver said he hoped the map would put an end to gossip that is often spread about crimes on campus.
"It's real information to either support or debug rumors," Oliver said.
A few of the crimes reported on the map within the past two weeks included disorderly conduct on Bagley Drive, an arrest for driving under the influence on West 18th Street, and an incidence of graffiti damage to the Kansas Union on Jayhawk Boulevard.
Icons on the map show the location, time and severity of the crime. Columns of information tell users
what crimes have occurred in the past seven days, and users can view crime information from several months ago. Members of the KU community will
know which areas have recently seen crimes such as car thefts, assaults and robberies.
Oliver said the department combined the map with the information it is required by federal law to report, but that the highlighted

The Lawrence PoliceDepartment also uses an internal system similar to the crime mapping of outside sites. Sgt. Michael Monroe said the department

Readership Program downsizes for summer
Newspapers are still available for free on campus, but distribution sites are limited
BY LUYAN WANG
lwang@kansan.com
The Collegiate Newspaper Readership Program is distributing newspapers in fewer locations during the summer. Students can still get newspapers — The Kansas City Star, The Lawrence Journal-World, The New York Times, and USA Today — on campus, but they may have to look a little harder.
Amanda Muhammad, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., noticed the empty Newspaper Readership Program distribution box in front of the Burge Union. Muhammad said she usually got newspapers from the boxes during the spring and fall semesters, but she began reading news online in the summer because she didn't know whether the Newspaper Readership Program was funded in the summer.
Terry Wade, who works in the Burge Union, said the newspaper distribution box there was always empty during the summer.
During the summer semester, papers are only distributed in the
areas where they are most highly used, such as the Kansas Union, Wescoe Hall and Watson Library.
"You will see full service restored at the beginning of the fall term."
said Student Body President Michael Wade Smith.
Smith said the University's newspaper contract was managed by a collegiate readership program through USA Today. The

more frequently used.
Jordan Post, a senior from Scottsbluff, Neb., said he read a newspaper every day, but seldom picked up newspapers on campus.
USA Today Collegiate Readership Program decides on the number of papers to distribute based on daily, weekly, monthly and annual distribution numbers. It uses the card swipers on the machines to keep count.
Student Senate Treasurer Erin Pishny said that if one location had all of the papers taken every day, then the distributor might look at shifting papers from another location with less traffic to one that's

He was afraid the distribution box would empty by the time he arrived.
"I have seen the empty boxes," Post said. "I feel like I don't pay much attention during the summer."
Students
enrolled in more than five credit hours at the Lawrence Campus pay a summer newspaper readership fee of $2.20.The fee is $4.45 in the fall and spring semesters. This includes an 85-cent subscription fee for The Kansan, which was put into place during the last fee cycle.
Pishny said that anyone enrolled in fewer than five credit hours paid a fee of approximately 44 cents per credit hour.

US trade deficit widens to $42.3 billion in May
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The U.S. trade deficit widened in May to the highest level in 18 months as a rebounding economy pushed up demand for imports of foreign-made cars, computers and clothing.
The trade deficit increased 4.8 percent to $42.3 billion, the largest imbalance since November 2008, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. American exports of goods and services rose 2.4 percent but this increase was outpaced by a 2.9 percent rise in imports.
American manufacturing has been a standout performer so far in this recovery, benefiting from a global economic recovery. But the concern is that export sales will be hurt by the European debt crisis, which has dampened growth prospects in Europe.
Through May, the U.S. trade deficit is running at an annual rate of $474.8 billion, up by 26.6 percent from $374.9 billion deficit for all of 2009. That had been the lowest annual trade gap since 2001,
another year when the country was in recession.
The rise in the May deficit came despite the fact that oil imports dropped by 9.1 percent to $27.6 billion as both the price of oil and the volume of shipments declined slightly.
The 2.4 percent rise in exports in May compared to April pushed sales of American goods and services to $152.3 billion, the highest level since September 2008. While sales of soybeans, wheat and other farm products were down in May, demand for American-made autos, industrial machinery, medical equipment and commercial aircraft all increased.
Imports rose 2.9 percent to $194.5 billion, the highest level since October 2008, reflecting big gains in imports of cars, computers, oil drilling equipment and industrial machinery.
The deficit with the European Union rose 7.5 percent to $6.2 billion as imports from Europe rose by 3.2 percent, ouptaining a 1.9 percent rise in U.S. exports to that region.

Case of kids found on Facebook revives estranged family's dispute
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTCLAIR, Calif. — Prince Sagala has pined for her son and daughter since her estranged husband took them and fled to Mexico 15 years ago — but she never gave up hope that she would see them again.
The Indonesian-born nursing assistant was rewarded for her faith earlier this year, when she stumbled on her daughter's Facebook page in a story that made national headlines.
But in the four months since that discovery, Sagala's unbridled joy has slowly turned to anguish. The case has led to the public airing of
years-old domestic allegations against Sagala — information that will likely be used in court — and her nowteenaged children want nothing to do with her.
At Sagala's sole supervised visit at a Florida library recently, her
kidnapping and child custody charges. During a hearing Monday, he was served with a governor's warrant from California and his bond was revoked. His Florida attorney said Utrera could be extradited to California anytime.
In an interview, Sagala recounted how Utrera took the children and fled to Mexico in 1995, when her son and daughter were just toddlers.
Sagala said Utrera, whom she married in 1993, had become abusive — a charge now denied by Utrera's attorney — and that she was about to seek a restraining order. Then Utrera called her at work one day to say he would take the children to the

"She doesn't know me, her father's in jail. I guess she does blame me for this." Sagala said of her 17-year-old daughter. "She doesn't know the truth. I told her, you can see me right now, I'm not that person like what you thought for 15 years, like what your father told you."

park and then to a movie. She told him they were sick and should be home early. When she returned home, they weren't there.
Several hours later, one of her husband's
friends called to tell her Utrera had taken the children to his native Mexico and wasn't coming back. Sugala said she immediately called the police and also told her story to a Spanish-language TV network.
Montclair police pursued the case, but when they learned the children were in Mexico, they turned the file over to the San Bernardino County district attorney. It's unclear now why the case wasn't pursued by prosecutors in 1995, but Deputy District Attorney Kurt Rowley said it's unlikely Mexico would have extradited Utrera at the time.

Over the next 15 years, police checked in with Sagala each year and sent her a questionnaire, but she had no new information. She said she periodically tried to contact her estranged husband's friends and family in Mexico with no luck.
Eventually, Sagala said she tried to move on with her life. She started a long-term relationship with another man, gave birth to two more children — a girl and a boy — and threw herself into worship at her Jehovah's Witness church.
As she hovered nervously, three teenagers with her daughter's name popped up on the Facebook site. Sagala didn't know which teenager
Sagala tried to recreate the life she lost with her first two when her new babies arrived: She gave birth at the same hospital, incorporated parts of their names in her new children's names and dressed them in the same
tiny outfits she had saved.
"I went to church. I prayed, because as a mother, I'm not strong enough for the burden I have now.
...
My two kids right now, they help me to be strong." Sagala said of her younger children. "Before, I missed everything as a mother, I missed their birthdays. It really hurts."

Darrell Stuckey
fights for Chargers
starting position
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
life doesn't get much better for Darrell Stuckey.
"I can't complain at all," he said. "It's 70 degrees every day."
The former Kansas safety lives in San Diego. About four times a week after practice, he sees a movie.
He signed a four-year deal with the San Diego Chargers late last month. And with the recent release of Kevin Ellison, San Diego's primary strong safety last year, signs point to Stuckey becoming the starter.
"It's a dream come true," he said.
His main competition in camp at this point is Steve Gregory, but Stuckey has the overall coverage ability, making him the early favorite. Working out with talented players such as restricted free-agent Shawne Merriman, Shaun Phillips and Luis Castillo is just enough for him at this point, he said.
Stuckey said he practiced on both the first and second team, so he wasn't about to dub himself the starter yet. The team is now on vacation for a couple of weeks after the completion of organized team activities.
Former Kansas linebacker Mike Rivera, who is in Lawrence working out after
signing to the Tennessee Titans practice squad said he wasn't surprised at all about Stuckey's position.
"Obviously he's got the skills and he's a student of the game," Rivera said. "That's the difference between what makes a player a starter and a contributor."
Stuckey also helps the Chargers with his conduct off the field. Ellison was released essentially because of his May 24 arrest for drug possession. Wide receiver Vincent Jackson was suspended for three games because of his legal troubles and now wants a new contract.
So the 2010 Big 12 Sportsperson of the Year seemed like a classy choice in the fourth round for San Diego.
Former Kansas defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, who now has the same position at Western Kentucky, said Stuckey surpassed a lot of players in terms of intelligence and self-discipline. That's why it's not a surprise to see him with all this early success.
"No one wants to deal with the problem of guys who can't seem to do things right," Bowen said.

STUCKEY (CONTINUED FROM 25)
But it is surprising to see him in San Diego. Out of all the teams that called before the draft, Bowen
doesn't remember the Chargers being one of them, even though four other teams seemed ready to take him.
But despite the transition from a 3-4 to a 4-3, Bowen learned
ball camps. And whether he's giving back to the community, giving an interview or just doing what his team asks, he is giving it his all.
"If you aren't going to do something wholeheartedly, don't."
the Chargers do play a style of defense similar to how the Jayhawks did last season.
"A lot of the stuff will be carry over for Darrell," Bowen said.
DARRELL STUCKEY Former Kansas safety
Stuckey was known at Kansas for his involvement in youth groups and the Student Senate on campus along with his leadership in a tumultuous year for Kansas football. Much of that, it seems, has traveled with him to San Diego.
"If you aren't going to do something wholeheartedly, don't," Stuckey said.
He goes to practice and does everything he can for the team, but Stuckey said
it hasn't hit him yet that he's in the NFL. He said it will probably hit him early on during the season.
The San Diego Chargers play the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday

NBA
Cole Aldrich sticks to defense in Oklahoma
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY — Cole Aldrich says defense always has come naturally, probably because
he almost always bigger than everyone else on the basketball court.
The 6-foot-11 Aldrich went on to become one of the greatest shot-blockers ever at Kansas,
Aldrich
and just because he's in the NBA now doesn't mean he won't keep focusing on what got him there.
"Defensively is, I think, really where I'm going to make an impact," Aldrich said Monday.
The Thunder acquired Aldrich, the No. 11 overall pick in the NBA draft, and veteran forward Morris Peterson from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange to the draft rights to Craig Brackins and Quincy Pondexter. In making the trade,
Oklahoma City added a player with a defense-first approach, something general manager Sam Presti said can be rare among rookies.
"Cole really shares the same mentality and approach that we try to embody with our team," Presti said. "He's another hardworking, high-character player."
Thunder coach Scott Brooks listed Aldrich's positives: "Defense, protects the basket, rebounds, sets great screens. He's a great outlet passer."
Notice Brooks didn't say scoring. On a team that already includes the NBA's reigning scoring leader in Kevin Durant and other players capable of big offensive games, "we're not looking for him to come in here and be a big-time scorer," Brooks said.
Aldrich grew up in Bloomington, Minn., as a Minnesota Timberwolves fan. And defense was an early love.
"I was, I wouldn't say a bully on the court, but I was bigger than everybody so I just loved to block shots and rebound," he said. "If somebody comes in the lane, I don't want them to score. I take real pride in blocking the shot or altering the shot or (making opponents) pass it out. I've always liked to think that the paint is kind of my home and I don't want anybody coming in my home."

to Northern Iowa in the same Oklahoma City arena where Aldrich now will play as a pro.
Another Kansas product, veteran Nick Collison, provides front-line depth and the Thunder also has been developing a 2009 first-round draft pick, Byron Mullens. At small forward, Jeff Green is entrenched as a starter.
The Thunder's frontcourt, thin when the franchise arrived from Seattle before the 2008-09 season, has become crowded. Nenad Krctic started last season and rookie Serge Ibaka saw his playing time dramatically increase as the season wore on.
Aldrich finished his Kansas career with 253 blocks, five shy of the school record held by Greg Ostertag.
As a sophomore at Kansas, he averaged 14.9 points and 11.1 rebounds per game and recorded the first official triple-double in the history of the Jayhawks' storied program with 13 points, 20 rebounds and 10 blocked shots in a NCAA tournament game against Dayton.
Brooks said he prefers a nine-man rotation and everyone in that rotation is returning next season from a team that went 50-32 and pushed the eventual NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers to six games in the playoffs. That means significant playing time for Aldrich is not guaranteed.
Last season as a junior, he set a school record with 125 blocked shots and was named the Big 12 Conference's top defensive player. Favored to make the Final Four, Kansas lost a second-round game
"It's going to be tough," Aldrich said. "They just don't hand out anything. That's been my whole life. I've had to work for everything. I'm just excited to go against those guys and compete with them."
Whether he's playing a lot or a little, Aldrich is guaranteed $1,772,000 as a rookie salary as the overall No. 11 pick. Brooks had some advice for his newest center if he wants to get on the floor quickly.
"Being a bully is not bad," Brooks said. "Minutes? Who knows. I met the guy four days ago. We'll have to see how he continues to get better the rest of the summer and training camp. I know our guys are going to be ready to compete and he's going to be in there competing with them."

COMMENTARY
LeBron James' decision makes basketball sense
LeBron James made his now infamous decision last week, and since then seemingly everyone from talk radio hosts to grocery store cashiers has chimed in with an opinion.
There are those who wish the self-annoted King had stayed with his roots and brought a championship to the success-starved city of Cleveland.
And then, on the other side, there are those who can't wait to watch the hype machine of LeBron, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh form one of the NBA's most appetizing, if not top-heavy, teams.
Yet as I watched "The Decision" last week, two thoughts crossed my mind.
The first probably resonated with anyone watching the overhyped, completely unnecessary hour-long special LeBron requested on ESPN: This is the biggest waste of television time since MTV rolled out "Parental Control" and "Date My Mom."
But while LeBron's one-hour announcement screamed of narcissism and was an open-handed slap in the face to the entire state of Ohio, those emotions were to be expected with such a stupid idea.
What I didn't fully expect was the backlash against LeBron in strictly the basketball sense of his decision.
LeBron James isn't Michael Jordan or Larry Bird. Heck, he isn't even Kobe Bryant. He's not a killer

a guy who will crusade through a career with the ruthless win-and-stomp-on-the-competition approach those aforementioned players displayed.
No, James has dazzled with his powerful dunks and blocks and, simply, his ability to make anyone watching shake his head and smile. In an age of "Top 10" replays, that's impressive.
But he never appeared ruthless on the court. And so, instead of shouldering the weight of an entire city — of an entire state, really — by having to almost single handedly lead a team to a championship, James decided to join with another superstar (Wade) and another extremely talented player (Bosh).
James is 25 and he has been playing in the NBA for seven seasons. At the end of his current contract, he'll be 31 with loads of game experience ripping at his knees.
So James did what any successful businessman — or any successful person — does in life: He realized
and accepted his weakness.
He realized that maybe he's not cut out to lead a lesser cast by himself to a championship and joined forces with two other great players who, on any night, can lead Miami to a victory.
Maybe this hurts LeBron James' image. May it doesn't.

But to chastise him for seizing an opportunity to increase his chances of winning championships is foolish and goes against the fabric of sports.
Criticize LeBron for his handling of the free agent period, of his narcissistic first-person answers to interview questions or of his lack of emotion for abandoning the hardluck city of Cleveland.
Just don't criticize him for accepting his limitations and improving his situation to better his chances of winning a title. After all, that's the ultimate goal of any athlete.

PAMPLONA, Spain — A man was gored in the arm in a tense, fast-paced penultimate running of the bulls at Spain's San Fermin festival, officials said Tuesday.
Two of the bulls managed to race ahead of the pack and caused moments of panic as they tried repeatedly to toss runners along the way.
Live television shots of the 8 a.m. dash ahead of six fighting bulls showed the gored man back up on his feet and looking for medical assistance.
The bulls are killed by matadors in bullfights later in the day.

Three people were hospitalized, one from a goring to the right arm and another two with unspecified injuries from falls, a spokeswoman for the regional government of Navarra said.
The bulls are accompanied by six steer, used to help guide the bulls along the slippery 930-yard stretch from a holding pen on the edge of town to the central bull ring.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Marcus Morris named to USA Select Team
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Junior forward Marcus Morris is one of 20 college basketball players named to the USA Men's Select Team to help the 2010 USA Basketball Men's National Team.
The collegians will practice against the professionals during training camp, July 19-24, in Las Vegas. Practices will be at UNLV's Cox Pavilion.
"I think it is a great opportunity to see where my level of play is compared to NBA players," Morris said in a news release. "I also know now that people are watching me since I was invited to something
of this caliber."
Coach Bill Self said he knew how excited Morris was to play with them and put his summer workouts to the test.
"He had a great summer and has been working hard on his game," Self said in a news release. "He is very much looking forward to playing against many of the world's best."
The Big 12 has three representatives: Morris, Jacob Pullen from Kansas State and Lace Darius Dunn from Baylor. The Big Ten has five players while the ACC has four. The Atlantic 10, Big East and SEC each have two and the Horizon League and Mountain West have one player each.

WORLD CUP
Paul the oracle octopus to retire from soothsaying
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — No more World Cup, no more octopus oracle.
The intuitive invertebrate will "step back from the official oracle business," Tanjia Munzig, a spokeswoman for the Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen, told AP Television News.
"He won't give any more oracle predictions — either in football, nor in politics, lifestyle or economy," she
Paul, the octopus who became a pop culture sensation by correctly predicting the outcome of as many World Cup matches as he has legs — all seven of Germany's games plus the Spain-Netherlands final — is going to retire.
said. "Paul will get back to his former job, namely making children laugh."
However, Paul took one last curtain call on Monday. Aquarium employees presented the octopus with a golden cup — similar to the official World Cup trophy.
Although the cup was garnished with three mussels, Paul ignored it for several minutes as it was lowered into his tank.
Paul won worldwide attention as he called all of Germany's games correctly — including its semifinal defeat by Spain. He crowned his career by forecasting correctly that Spain would beat Holland in Sunday's final.
He finally picked off one mussel and devoured it in front of television cameras.

RECREATION
Floor of rec center's rock wall to be replaced after flooding
BY CARLO RAMIREZ
cramirez@kansan.com
The Ambler Student Fitness Recreation Center's rock-climbing wall will undergo remodeling in the next couple of weeks to repair damages caused by recent flooding.
An excess of rain flooded the bottom floor of the recreation center. June 16. The rock wall, which is located on the bottom floor, sustained the most damage. Twenty-one inches of rain flooded into
the rock wall's 1,300 square feet of flooring. Now the floor must be replaced, a project that is estimated to cost between $8,000 and $10,000.
Taylor Construction — a company out of Kansas City, Mo. — was doing construction work that required workers to dig up the dirt behind Watkins Memorial Health Center that day. When the workers left for the day, they left underground steam pipes uncovered and exposed to rain. The rain filtered down the hill, through the steam
pipes and into the recreational center.
Mary Chappel, director of recreation services, said the rock wall would be closed starting Friday to remove the flooring. The replacement has been estimated to take a week. Aug. 1 is the target deadline to ensure the wall is open in time for the fall semester.
The rock wall flooring is a combination of textured layers. A part of it is a type of foam pad material that is placed over a slab of concrete and is approximately two
inches thick. The second material is essentially the recycled rubber used on shoes. The foam pad material acted as a sponge and soaked up any of the water it encountered during the flood.
Kiefer Flooring, which installed the rock wall's original flooring in 2003, has been hired to replace the floor. Chappel and her staff said they had done a lot of research on different types of floors and were confident that their initial floor choice was still the best on the market.

Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner dies at 80
BY JOHN VALENTI AND KEN DAVIDOFF McClatchy-Tribune
New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner has died at a hospital in Tampa, Newsday confirmed Tuesday.
Two sources close to the Steinbrenner family told Newsday the longtime Yankees owner, known to many simply as "The Boss," died Tuesday morning
NY
following a massive heart attack at his home late Monday night.
Local television stations in Tampa reported Tampa Fire Rescue was called to the Steinbrenner home and transported to St. Joseph's Hospital in extremely critical condition.
The death of Steinbrenner comes just days after longtime Yankee Stadium announcer Bob Sheppard died at ae9 99 at his home in Baldwin, N.Y.
Steinbrenner had celebrated his 80th birthday on July 4.
"It is with profound sadness that 'the family of George M. Steinbrenner'
III announces his passing," said a statement released Tuesday morning by longtime Steinbrenner spokesman Howard Rubenstein.
"He was an incredible and charitable man. First and foremost, he was devoted to his entire family _ his beloved wife, Joan; his sisters, Susan Norpell and Judy Kamm, his children, Hank, Jennifer Jessica and Hal; and all of his grandchildren.
"He was a visionary and a giant in the world of sports. He took a great but struggling franchise and turned it into a champion again."
The statement said funeral arrangements will be private. There will be an additional public service with details to be announced later.
"I think the thing I learned from him more than anything is to never quit," Darryl Strawberry, a star outfielder for the Yankees from 1995-99, told ESPN Tuesday morning.
"When I got knocked down, he was there to pick me up," said Strawberry, who has battled drug addiction.
After building his fortune in the shipbuilding industry, Steinbrenner purchased the Yankees from CBS in 1973 and returned them to the glory-
of the Babe Ruth-Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle-Yogi Berra-Whitey Ford era teams.
It was later revealed Steinbrenner invested less than $200,000 in the $10-million deal _ but turned the Yankees into the most valuable franchise in sports history, with an estimated worth of well more than $1 billion.
von Steingrabber."
"I think the thing I learned from him more than anything is to never quit."
"Owning the Yankees is like owning the 'Mona Lisa,'" Steinbrenner once said.
He was often lampooned in episodes of "Steinfeld" as well.
The success of the franchise includes the launching of the acclaimed YES network.
During Steinbrenner's reign, the Yankees won 11 American League pennants and 7 World Series titles. But Steinbrenner, who also was known for his philanthropic work, also became one of the most vilified owners in sports _ sometimes depicted in sports cartoons wearing a World War I German army helmet and dubbed "Gen-
DARRYL STRAWBERRY Former outfielder for the New York Yankees
in his first 23 seasons as owner, he changed managers 20 times including firing Billy Martin five times. He also changed the general manager of the team 11 times in 30 years. However, he also built winning teams and wasn't afraid
to spend money doing so.
Among his notable free-agent signings were pitcher Jim "Catfish" Hunter and star outfielder Reggie Jackson.
Within the last decade, the team signed a host of high-profile free agents, including Alex Rodriguez, C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Mark Teixeira _ all key figures as the Yankees won the World Series in 2009. Steinbrenner handed over daily operations of the team to his sons, Hank and Hal, by the time of that win.

City defers decision for Oread tailgating proposal
BY HANNAH JENNISON hjennison@kansan.com
The Lawrence City Commission deferred its July 6 vote on a request by The Oread hotel to hold neighborhood block parties. These parties would require blocking off some streets during six Kansas home football games and various local high school games. The commission asked for more information "about exactly where they are going to be blocking streets and access and how the residents down there are going to have access to their homes," City Clerk Jonathan Douglass said.
The Oread described the proposed events as
"family friendly," including music, a kids zone. food tents and special guests from Kansas and local athletic teams.
"In supporting the local high schools and KU football games, The Oread hotel is excited to bring family fun and entertainment to the Oread neighborhood and the north gate of KU campus as we embark on a new 2010 football season," said Nancy Longhurst, general manager of The Olivia Collection, a management company for The Oread, The Eldridge and The Eldridge Extended hotels.
Commissioners did not set a date to hear the proposal again.
CRIME
Former Athletics employees charged in ticket scandal
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Two former employees of Kansas Athletics Inc. will plead guilty to charges related to the recent ticket scandal.
Former assistant athletic director Brandon Simmons was charged July 6 with misprision of a felony, which essentially means he had knowledge of a crime and did not take action. Former assistant director of ticketing operations Jason Jeffries was charged with the same crime June 28.
According to court documents released July 7, Simmons and Jeffries knew but did
not report that $5,000 worth of tickets were stolen from about 2005 to 2010.
At this time, the two are the only employees facing charges, but six employees have been accused of illegally selling $1.03 million worth of tickets. Misprision of a felony is punishable by up to three years in prison.
Simmons' hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. July 15 in U.S. District Court in Topeka.
Jeffries' hearing will be 11 a.m. July 14 in Wichita.

OBITUARY
School of Business professor dies at 59
University professor Mark Hirschey died Sunday from cancer in Pequot, Minn., after more than 20 years teaching at the School of Business.
Hirschey was well known on campus, partly because of his hands-on approach in the classroom. Beginning in 2005, Hirschey chaperoned trips for business
students to attend the Berkshire
Hathaway convention in Omaha, Neb. At the meeting, students had the opportunity to sit down for a Q-and-A sessions with the CEO and third wealthiest
person in the world, Warren Buffett. Hirschey also interacted with students outside of class as supervisor of the KU Finance Club.
Hirschey
Professor Catherine Samorey took one of Hirschey's classes when he began teaching at the School of Business in 1988. She said he insisted on the importance of professionalism in business and took several students in her class to New York City for a conference about investments. As a business professor, Samorey said she also respected Hirschey as a colleague.
"He'll be missed," Samoray said.
"Anybody who knew him couldn't help but be infected by his enthusiasm for investments, for his family and his students."
A scholarship fund for students in the School of Business has been created in Hirschey's memory. Hirschey was 59. He is survived by his children, Jessica, Nicholas and Sarah, and his wife, Christine Hauschel.

Adversity to accomplishment
A devastating crash leads one professor to newfound success
BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com
Sandra Billinger achieved her dream and had been working as a dental assistant for more than five years. But she faced a drastic turn of events the day she left the office on lunch break and never returned.
That day, another driver ran a stop sign and hit Billinger's car, injuring her enough to prevent her from performing her professional duties. The car accident that changed her life opened doors to new career accomplishments. The accident and resulting physical therapy inspired her, and she is now a research assistant and professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center's department of physical therapy and rehabilitation science. She was also recently appointed to serve on the American Heart Association's Stroke Rehabilitation, Prevention and Recovery Committee.
"I'm very excited and proud, but mostly honored to join the AHA committee," Billinger said.
Billinger said her appointment to the group was particularly valuable because it not only helped people recover from stroke, but also allowed her to participate in developing ways to prevent strokes. In previous years, she has received a wide variety of professional accolades for her research, which is now aimed at assessing how vascular functions respond to exercise after stroke. Billinger is looking at how exercise might affect the fact that after stroke people tend to be weaker in one side of their body.
Though her current clinical population is composed primarily of stroke survivors, Billinger said she also cared about the benefits of exercise for the population as a whole. She said the rise of obesity is of particular concern to her.
"I'd like to have a strong presence in the Exercise Is Medicine initiative to improve the well-being of Kansans," Billinger said. "The benefits of physical activity are under realized or utilized by health care professionals."
It is no surprise that Billinger is an avid athlete herself. She is now training for her first duathlon, which includes a 5K run and 30K bicycle ride, followed by another 5k run. Both her grandfather and father are in the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame for their own achievements, but Billinger took that influence to write her own history, helping others along the way.
At 28 years old, two years after the accident, her post-accident recovery led her to pursue her goal of becoming a physical therapist. She said not being allowed to run for two years was frustrating, but it also contributed to her appreciation of exercise as a new career choice.
"Before the accident, I exercised because I really enjoyed it. For me it was a hobby," Billinger said. "Then it became something I needed to do to be healthy again."
Lisa Stehno-Bittel, chairwoman of the department of physical therapy, said that though Billinger was an outstanding researcher, she was also a great professor.
Bethany Hurley, a senior in the physical therapy program, has taken "Exercise Physiology" and "Cardiopulmonary Functions" from Billinger and said she appreciated Billinger as a professor who surpassed her obligations.
"She went beyond being a professor and became more of a mentor to us." Hurley said. "She was very inviting and really wanted us to get the most out of what she taught."
Hurley said Billinger's ability to take a negative situation and transform it into a positive was inspiring. She said life-changing events often led people—including herself—to the field of physical therapy.
"For me, it was when my grandma had a brain aneurism and I watched her go through
physical therapy," Hurley said. "After something like that you see things completely differently. You really want to help these people whose lives have been flipped upside down."
Stehno-Bittel said Billinger's appointment to the committee would allow her to help more people prevent and recover from stroke. She said that, in addition to Billinger's specific interest in cardiovascular changes after stroke, her character also qualified her for the position.
"She's hard-working, she's a team player, she's flexible in her approach to problems, she's open to other points of view." Stehno-Bittel said. "I can't think of what more you would want from a person on a committee like this."
For Billinger, who is now 42, it's not the recent appointment to the AHA, the Dorothy Briggs Memorial Scientific Inquiry Award she received in 2009 or any of her other accomplishments that count. In fact, she rarely mentions them. Instead, she takes pride in her ability to help people in their recovery process.
"Her accomplishments are really quite astonishing, but she's so modest, you may never even know that because she'll never brag." Stehno-Bittel said. "She's still very early in her career and she's already done so much."

A collection of strange situations from around the world
NYC bank robber pulls off heist armed with flowers
NEW YORK — New York City police are seeking a bank robber who's armed with a bouquet of fresh flowers. The suspect strolled into a Manhattan bank last week while carrying the flowers. Police say he reached into the arrangement, pulled out a threatening note and handed it to a teller.
The note demanded $100 and $50 bills and warned, "Don't be a hero."
He was given an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing.
Police released a security photo on Monday of the man showing him standing at a counter while clutching the bouquet.
Man who just wanted a hug punches a man, lands in jail
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Police arrested a man who they said punched another man who refused to hug him. Iowa City police responded to a report of someone being aggressive and punching cars Sunday night. The suspect, a 23-year-old man, told
police he became upset after he tried to hug a man and was pushed away.
Police said the man punched and dented the hood of a car before punching the man he tried to hug.
Police said the man had a blood-alcohol content of .086. He was charged with simple assault and fourth-degree criminal mischief, a serious misdemeanor.
BOSTON — It turns out that some of Massachusetts' greatest places aren't so great after all.
Mass.releases 'great places' list — with a few errors
To promote tourism, the Legislature last week released a list of the state's top 1,000 attractions.
But the Boston Herald reports that some sites don't exist any more, some are closed to the public and some are listed in the wrong towns. The list also actually has 996 places.
The list includes the Baker Robinson Whale Oil Refinery in New Bedford, which has been gutted to make way for a hotel; and Worcester's African Cultural Center and Ashland State Park, both of which are closed.
Tourism officials acknowledge some mistakes and say they did their best.
St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Pittsfield was closed by the Springfield Diocese two years ago.
Ohio to test Chia Pet-like sound wall on state highway
CLEVELAND — Ohio plans to build a sound barrier made out of soil and plants in the state's first eco-friendly attempt at muffling highway noise.
A spokesman for the state transportation department says the 12-foot high wall will be like a Chia Pet. Workers will water bags filled with soil and seeds and watch it grow.
The transportation department says the noise wall will be built this fall. It will span 400 feet along a west-bound stretch of Interstate 70 near Columbus.
Wisconsin tried a similar idea. It built a sound wall made out of plastic forms filled with soil and plants, but removed it in 1996 after part of the barrier collapsed and weeds spread.

PSYCHOLOGY
In the wake of disaster: why we choose to give
KANSAN FILE PHOTO Damage from the Jan. 12 earthquake could be seen from the air over Delmas, a neighborhood in Port-au-Prince. The 7.0 earthquake left homes destroyed and thousands homeless.
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
A little more than six months ago, Haiti was struck by a massive earthquake that killed an estimated 230,000 people. As residents of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, survivors lost what little they had before the disaster. The KU community took notice, putting together charity events such as benefit concerts and clothing drives.
Now, Haiti is still in need, but the initial shock felt globally has faded. Other devastating events, such as the BP, oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, have taken some U.S. attention, but the response efforts haven't been the same. For example, Larry King raised $2 million in a telethon for oil-spill relief — far short of the $10 million he raised in a telethon for Haiti in January.
Omri Gillath, a professor of social
psychology, said several factors that contributed to the record-breaking response to Haiti were absent from oil-spill relief.
PSYCHOLOGY OF GIVING
Gillath said the act of giving could be a psychological matter that related to personal security.
"If you have a high self-esteem, you could be capable of giving," Gillath said. "If you feel like if you needed help someone would be there to help you, you're more likely to give."
Gillath said people could be less apt to contribute to the oil-spill relief because it was preventable.
"There's a lot more anger that lies with BP, and when you think about helping behavior it should be clear that you can help," Gillath said. "People want to know that their help can end people's suffering."
Gillath said people give for vari

ous reasons. In some cases, people give because they feel morally obligated to do so. In others, people are looking for a tax break.
"If it's generosity, they're doing it to create a better world and to alleviate someone's suffering, but others do it for a tax cut," Gillath said.
"The exact same behavior can have a very different incentive."
Social pressure, though it can have a negative association, also affects the act of giving. He said that just as you may start going

Gillath said seeing celebrities or role models give to certain causes can make others want to help as well.

Gillath said the media undoubtedly has an effect on donations. Days after the earthquake, celebrities such as Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake took part in the "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon, which aired on all major networks and generated more than

said.
While some celebrities took part in oil-spill relief in the gulf, many major celebrities were absent. "Gulf Aid," a benefit
concert featuring musicians likes Mos Def and Lenny Kravitz, raised $350,000 far less than other celebrity efforts.
"When the earthquake happened, all these organizations said, 'Here's how you can help,'" Jackson said.
Heather Jackson, a campus minister with Campus Christians, traveled to Haiti to help with relief projects. She said a lack of awareness is what separates the Haiti relief from the oil spill.
"I don't really see that with the oil spill. Groups are saying 'This happened,' but they don't say how to help."
DONATING MADE EASY
[Image of a narrow street with buildings on both sides, cars parked in the background.]
Haiti relief groups took advantage of social media as a means to spread their message and to make it easy for people to donate. According to the American Red Cross, $22 million was donated to Haiti relief just through its text messaging program, which charged $10 to cell phone bills each time "Haiti" was texted to its number.

KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Sean Elliot, a junior from Overland Park who helped organize a Haiti benefit concert, said the lower involvement in oil spill relief could be because it was a man-made problem, while Haiti's earthquake was a natural disaster.
"The nature of the problems are completely different," Elliot said. "The involvement level of regular people in America seems to be a lot less; it doesn't seem like people think they can be involved."
Elliot, president of Delta Force, a Lawrence community service-based group, said his group became involved in the Haiti relief effort
because of the number of displaced people from the earthquake. Delta Force joined other student groups to hold a benefit concert last semester.
"The numbers to us seemed out of this world," Elliot said. "We didn't want to stand there and do nothing about it, especially because it's so close to the U.S."
Elliot said the groups like the American Red Cross made donating for Haiti relief easy, whereas the complexity of the oil spill made it harder for people to understand what was needed or what organizations were involved.
"The American Red Cross was ready," Elliot said. "All they needed was the money."
Delta Force is planning a benefit for oil-spill victims in late August. The money will be donated to the United Way.

EDITORIAL
State alcohol statute misguided
An attempt to resurrect a long-ignored Kansas statute regulating the pricing of alcohol was a misguided waste of time and state resources. And Governor Mark Parkinson's decision to halt enforcing that law was a wise move.
The Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control recently announced it would start enforcing on Aug.1 a rule regulating the pricing of alcoholic beverages at bars and restaurants. The law says bars must price individual drinks based on the exact quantity of alcohol. That means a double must cost
This law, like many liquor laws in Kansas, is misguided and too restrictive. Consumers need no more restrictions regulating how — and more importantly, for how much — we purchase alcohol. The ABC was trying to remove incentives for people to drink in excess. The thinking goes that if a single gin and tonic costs $3 and a double costs $5, the customer might just go for the double because it's a better deal. But this is no different from most other consumer purchases.
Buying in high quantities is almost always a better value. The cost of a single can of soda is more than the per-can cost of sodas in a 12-pack. Even cigarettes can be bought in bulk in cartons at a lower per-pack price. That's why stores such as Sam's Club and Costco have seen so much success. By buying in bulk, you cut down on labor, packaging and supply costs. The same holds true when purchasing a drink at a bar.
Not to mention the work of the bartender. When you order a double you only "double" one aspect of the equation. The bartender spends about the same amount of time on the drink. Only one glass is dirtied. Only one lime is used. Possibly a little more soda, tonic or ice is used, but it's certainly not enough to warrant an increase in price.
Consider all that goes into pouring one mixed drink: ice,liquor,one or several mixers,a garnish like a lemon or lime,and the actual glass.
That's what makes this statute so silly. It goes against the logic of buying in quantity, which consumers and suppliers benefit from in most other parts of the marketplace.

Kansas as stereotyped as you think
I have spent a large majority of the past eight weeks trying to convince people that Kansas isn't a terrible place to live.
This summer, I've been interning in Los Angeles and, after telling people that I'm from Kansas, have been the recipient of mixed responses, ranging from laughter to downright horror.
Guest columnist
I've actually had to clarify a surprising number of times that, no. I did not grow up on a farm and that I do not own a horse (although I did ask for one for my ninth birthday).
Being a Kansas native, I've become accustomed to the stigma that being from the state often has once you venture outside of

the Midwest. But, quite frankly, the inquiries to the location of my ruby-red slippers and any other stereotypical and unoriginal Wizard of Oz comments are getting downright insulting.
Within my first few days at work, I quickly became "the intern from Kansas," and was soon patronized with questions about my adjustment to life in the "big city." I tried, without much success, to convince people that L.A. wasn't too overwhelming and, in all honesty, not that different than Kansas City aside from the traffic and easy beach access.
Outside of work, I had a conversation with a guy who, after talking to me for a few minutes, had the nerve to say, "Wow, for a girl from Kansas you're a whole lot faster than I thought you would be." Seriously?
Seriously?
In my time here I've met a significant amount of Californians who know who the Jayhawks are. But even those who were both aware of and impressed by the KU basketball team (C'mon, how could they not
be?) were hard-pressed to believe that Kansas is a fun place to go to school, much less grow up.
I've given up on convincing people that Kansas is fun—it's a fruitless waste of my time and I've accepted that most people won't have the same appreciation as I do for my home state. I've embraced the stereotype and have even had some fun with it. I was actually able to convince someone that growing up, I rode a horse to school and sometimes, if my pa let me, drove the tractor.
But while I can take the occasion al Kansas joke with good humor, I do have my limits. The next person who calls me Dorothy is getting a house dropped on their ass.
Check back next week. Michael Holtz's travel column will return in the last issue of the summer Kansan.

POST-GRAD
Graduates skip nine-to-five in favor of adventurous jobs
Even with perfect cover letters and impressive resumes, students may have difficulty securing a job in a struggling economy. Some students are choosing unique-post grad experiences that offer adventure in place of the traditional nine-to-five job.
Go to college, earn a degree, find a job. These are the expectations of most young adults.

NATIONAL
World War II Museum features animals of war
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Smoky the Yorkshire terrier, Lady Astor the pigeon and a host of horses and mules whose individual stories are lost to history are among war heroes and heroines featured in the latest exhibit at the National World War II Museum.
"Loyal Forces: The Animals of WWII" will run July 22-Oct. 17, featuring the four kinds of animals most often brought into the war, as they were used in all five theaters.
"There was a great love and loyalty between the soldiers and the animals they worked with," said registrar Toni M. Kiser, who created the exhibit with archivist Lindsey Barnes.
The exhibit opener may seem odd to people used to thinking of the Coast Guard as offshore duty in cutters, patrol boats, helicopters and
airplanes.
In the mezzanine, where a Sherman tank and a half-track represent the period's most common cavalry, will be a figure of a Coast Guardsman on shore patrol with his horse. The shore patrols were set up after German saboteurs twice landed on American beaches.
Nearly 3,000 horses, provided by the Army Quartermaster Corps, let the shore patrol cover much more ground. "The U.S. Coast Guard used more horses than any other branch of the U.S. Military during WWII," the title panel notes.
"Luckily, before they could wreak havoc they were caught," said Kiser. "But there was this great fear that we really had to protect America's coastline."
The first thing visitors will see in the special exhibits gallery is a German reconnaissance horse and soldier, representing the European theater.
Germany's 1st Cavalry Division
But most supplies and a great deal of artillery were still horse-drawn, and a mounted infantry squadron patrolled about six miles in front of every German infantry division.

were referred to as the 'eyes and ears of their units," an exhibit panel explains.
The museum's artifacts were part of the reason for including the German horse, Barnes said. "We have a really great saddle" and a dagger from the infamous 8th SS Kavallerie Division Florian Geyer.

STEP UP TO
Jayhawk bookstore
Lawrence, Kansas
The Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, has been open for 33 years. It's known for its popular jingle, which reminds customers that it's "at the top of the hill." The store's owners sold it to Nebraska Book Company, which they say is better equipped to handle online book sales.
Book store spent 33 years at the top of the hill
BY JANENE GIER
jgier@kansan.com
The Jayhawk Bookstore was born 33 years ago when former owner Bill Muggy opened shop, selling books to KU students at a discounted price. On July 14, he gave up their baby.
"I took the store from conception to wedding," Bill said. "It has new life, but it's carrying my DNA."
Muggy sold the store to Nebraska Book Store, which he said was more equipped to handle the business. Although the Jayhawk Bookstore has new owners, the store that sat in the heart of KU's campus for more than three decades has solid memories with roots that run deep.
The store was one of the original Kansas Lottery retailers and sold one of the first Kansas Lottery instant tickets on November 12, 1987, said Sally Lunsford, employee for the Kansas Lottery.
A Playboy magazine signing featuring a Women of KU calendar model Carey Oroke, was held there in 2002.
Muggy's wife, Janet, also remembers rationing the store's 500 Kansan newspapers after the men's basketball team 2008 national championship win. Each person was only allowed one copy, she
said.
Diane Huges, who worked at the Jayhawk Bookstore for 18 years, witnessed a national championship win while employed at the bookstore.

for 20 years, and it was exciting to see so many faces she knew from her years as a student.
"Bill asked me, 'Do you know everyone who ever went to KU?"
Huges said, referring to the night of the men's basketball 1988 championship.
"I took the store from conception to wedding. It has new life, but it's carrying my DNA."
She said the championships brought friends to town that she hadn't seen

bookstore — at the top of the hill." That's how it all started, she said.
Janet talked about when a new student from Denmark appeared on the front stoop of the store, knowing little English and without a clue where to go.
"He had two giant suitcases on wheels. I remember he got out of that taxi and said, 'Here I am,'" Janet said. Those are the kinds of things she'll miss.
When Bill opened the Jayhawk Bookstore, it used about 2,000 square feet - about a quarter of the space the store now uses - and the business grew to take over the first and second floors of the building.
Bill said in the first year of business he bootlegged most of the infor
mation he needed to get books for students.
"There was a time when Bill Muggy meant competition. I've walked past that," Bill said.
The University and the Jayhawk Bookstore have had a long-standing written agreement to share information about course reading materials, said Mike Reed, director of Kansas Union communications and retail marketing.
Bill said he and Janet decided to sell the store when more business started moving online. Nebraska Book Company, originally called Cliff's Notes, was created by Cliff Hillegas. Cliff's son and Bill had been classmates, Bill said. Hillegas, who died in 2001, was an early partner and contributor to the Jayhawk Bookstore, Bill said.
Bill said the demand to move online wasn't something he wanted to try to keep up with.

Final bow for KU professor, playwright
Paul Lim retires to focus on his own writing goal
BY SARAH HENRY
The University's loss was the theater world's gain when Professor Paul Lim retired this spring. After teaching playwriting for more than two decades, Lim decided, at age 66, it was time to concentrate on his own writing.
Lim's award-winning work draws inspiration from life, but is not necessarily autobiographical. He uses his experience to add dimension to characters, but in the absence of experience, he said, research would suffice.
"You don't have to have been on death row to write about death row," he said.
Lim also said he had a habit of tucking away in his memory things he saw every day in passing — interesting turns of phrase or intriguing articles that may have inspired him.
Most immediately, Lim is working on a play that deals with issues brought to light in a 1980s harassment case at the University, which eventually led to a law professor's dismissal. Lim has access to court hearing records and is unsure if he will use specifics, but he said he intended to use basic ideas from the case as a jumping-off point for his play. Although Lim will have a reading of the play when he completes a first draft, he said it was premature to think about productions.
Before enrolling at the University, Lim worked for newspapers and in advertising. As a student at the University, he was offered a position as a graduate teaching assistant.
"When I started teaching," said
Lim, "I found that I loved teaching as well, which wasn't something I had ever thought about or considered, so it was kind of by accident. A happy accident."
In 1990, Lim founded the English Alternative Theatre as a way to bring together student actors and student playwrights. The inspiration for this method of teaching came from his own experience in the 70s when the University unexpectedly announced the production of his very first play.
Now, with Lim's departure, the English Alternative Theatre's run comes to an end.
Lim said he thought it was important for student playwrights to see their work performed on stage.
"You don' have to have been on death row to write about death row."
because a student writer may find words that sound right in their heads are hard for actors to deliver, or don't communicate properly what
PAUL LIM
Retiring professor
the playwright intended.
Among his students and colleagues, Lim is well loved and respected for his passion and ability to guide students without taking over their creative processes.
"He's someone who touches people's lives and changes them and allows them to grow and become the better for it," said Zacory Boatright, a former student of Lim's. "KU is losing a huge, wonderful asset in Paul Lim's retirement."
Despite the time retirement affords Lim to work on his own writing,he said there were parts of teaching he'd miss.
"It allows us to keep in touch with young people, the pulse beat of America and how language is being used," Lim said.
In his retirement, Lim will continue to live in Lawrence, but said he would like to travel to visit family in other parts of the United States and in the Philippines.

Five years ago, the Buran Theatre Company was founded by a group of KU students, faculty and Lawrence residents. The group's risque original show was the ground-breaking performance that determined the future success of he group. "Nightmares: An Artful Demonstration of the Sublime," was a sexually explicit and daring performance at The Lawrence Arts Center in 2008. Because of the show's success, the group knew it had the makings of a great future together. Now the group is back at the University to prepare for another show.
"It's great to bring back new work to the place that inspired us all," said Adam Burnett, original founding member, coartistic director and KU alumnus. The KU Theatre Department gave the Buran TheatreCompany residency for the summer, granting them free use of the-
The group, whose original goal was to serve new, free and explorative theater performances, is spread out across the United States and beyond, some in countries as far away as Lithuania.
"I can be myself and I am ready to rock and roll," Knudsen said.
Knudsen said that the familiar faces reminded him of when he was a student, and that the incredible energy in and around the building was invigorating.
"For me, it's where my involvement in theater really began, so it was the beginning and it keeps moving upward," Justin Knudsen, co-artistic director and KU alumnus, said.

ater facilities as the group prepares for the premiere of "The House of Fitzcarraldo."
The Buran Theatre Company began as a group of six founding members and has grown to 29 core members, 75 percent of whom are KU alumni.
The group holds together with its passion and ability to take different ideas and work them together into something that reaches out to the audience, Burnett said.
"It was time to come back to where it began. We've been separate, but we can come back and recreate that same spirit," Burnett said.
Burnett said he doesn't know of many theater departments that are supportive in the way the University has been.
"It's a testament to the department itself and its support in alumni, which I think is extremely strong," Burnett said.
"A lot of people get together and make theater in college, but to be able to continue with a strong identity is important. The group has great flexibility," said Henry Bial, associate professor of theater and Buran Theatre Company member.
"It's great to bring back new work to the place that inspired us all."

member, wrote music for the upcoming performance. Bial said the group e-mails lyrics to Luxem in Staten Island, N.Y., and Luxem writes and e-mails the music.
Luxem and
Burnett have been "collaborating" since second grade, Luxem said.
"Lawrence and Kansas, and KU in general, have the same welcoming atmosphere in terms of being able to get together at a pace where we could take a couple of breaths and have our 'creative' not have to be rushed by any means," Luxem said.
The group members mentioned using Skype during the upcoming performance to include the distant members, but they're not sure whether the technology will be available.
Coming from the New York rat race, Luxem said he appreciated the times he shared with the group in Kansas even more.
Mechele Leon, artistic director of the University Theatre, granted the residency. Bial said the group is grateful for it, as without residency at the University, money would have to be spent on rent elsewhere.
"I also think that because this is an educational setting, people feel a little more free to experiment and
explore how creative they can get;" Bial said.
Campus, he said, is the perfect place to find trusted friends and colleagues to step in and help with the developmental process of the performance.
"The House of Fitzcarraldo" was
written and produced in collaboration with 12 members of the company. It opens July 26 and runs to Aug. 1 at the Kansas City Fringe Festival at the Unicorn Theatre in Kansas City, Mo.

Special Olympics Missouri suspends ex-priest for sex abuse
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A former Roman Catholic priest who was part of a $5 million sex abuse settlement in Wisconsin two decades ago was suspended from a volunteer position with Special Olympics Missouri and has admitted some of the abuse.
Mark Musso, president and CEO of Special Olympics Missouri, said the former priest, Tom Ericksen, 62, of Kansas City, was suspended indefinitely last week after the organization learned of the 1989 settlement with the Diocese of Superior, Wis.
Ericksen admitted in an interview with The Associated Press on Monday that he had fondled three boys but denied having contact with a fourth child involved in the settlement. He said the settlement totaled about $5 million.
"I just fondled and stuff like that," Ericksen said during the interview in the lobby of his Kansas City apartment building.
"But I can't say I didn't do inappropriate things. ... But I never had sex" with them, he said. Ericksen also said he has not abused any children since leaving the priesthood, including Special Olympians.
"They think of me as an ogre. That I did this many more times. But I haven't," he said.
Ericksen said he had been volunteering with Special Olympics Missouri for about five years.
Bishop Peter Christensen of the Diocese of Superior was out of the office Monday and did not return a
call seeking comment.
The settlement was a civil matter and no criminal charges were ever filed against Ericksen. Such charges could have triggered some online databases that track sexual offenders.
Musso noted that nothing turned up in a background check on Ericksen when he applied to volunteer. Musso said Ericksen's duties typically included checking in volunteers at area games and he was never "in any role in which he'd have direct access to athletes."
The settlement came to light recently when two men came forward to say Ericksen had abused them when he was pastor at their Wisconsin parish. Musso said Ericksen was suspended the day that Special Olympics Missouri learned of the settlement.
Ericksen left Wisconsin in 1983 and was removed from the priesthood in 1988. He said he first moved to Minneapolis, where he worked for AT&T as a customer service representative, and moved to Kansas City in 2005.
He began volunteering with Special Olympics Missouri soon after he arrived in Kansas City.
"It's my way of ministering now" he said.
The Duluth News Tribune has reported that two victims want Wisconsin prosecutors to file charges against Ericksen. Neither men responded to messages left at phone numbers listed in their names. Sawyer County District Attorney Tom Van Roy also did not return a call seeking comment.

When Emily Marotta planned her study-abroad trip to the colonial town of Puebla, Mexico, she didn't expect her excitement to be stifled by a strict University policy that prevents travel to countries on the State Department travel advisory list.
The 18 students expecting to stay in Puebla for their summer pro
gram were unable to do so after the State Department reissued a travel warning April 12, forcing the Office of Study Abroad to suspend the program. Sue Lorenz, director of the Office of Study Abroad, would not

account for all of the students, but said Marotta and 14 other students were diverted to San Jose, Costa Rica.
"It's a very, very large city. It's dirty, it's loud, it's polluted and there's a lot of people," said Marotta, who had already been to Costa Rica and was looking for a different study abroad experience. "A smaller town was more of the experience I wanted because you're able to create relationships with people who live there. I came back with no friends from Costa Rica."
"I can see the disappointment.
Lorenz said the office did all that it could to give the students the closest possible experience to the Mexico trip.
"I can see the disappointment, but it's just not worth the risk."
Marotta said despite the change, she appreciated the Office of Study Abroad's involvement in ensuring she could earn the same course credit in Costa Rica. As a senior, she said earning the appropriate credits was her first priority and office administrators were helpful in ensuring she met graduation requirements as a Spanish and Latin American Studies major.
but it's just not worth the risk," Lorenz said. "Every country offers its own special thing, but we were able to give the students the academic coursework they needed in a Spanish-language-speaking country with no loss of money to them."
SUE LORENZ
Director of Office of Study Abroad
The travel advisory warned Americans against traveling to specific Mexican cities, all of which were northern border towns. Puebla is located in south-central Mexico.
more than 1,000 miles from the cities listed in the travel advisory.
Lorenz said the Office of Study abroad was forced to cancel the program because of an umbrella policy that allowed for no "geographical
discretion" The policy has received criticism for its inflexible regulations. Lorenz said she would gladly take the criticism of being too cautious rather than risk the safety of any student the University was responsible for.
"If we allowed exceptions and
an incident did occur, wed be criticized for sending, people anyway," Lorenz said.
She said that with more than 600 students abroad this summer, it would be irresponsible to "take a calculated risk." She said sending students to a place that may have a violent environment could distract the office from doing its best in ensuring the best service to students in other programs.
Last summer the program was canceled because of H1N1 concerns, but Lorenz said the University plans
to re-establish the Puebla program again next summer. She said the threat of drug cartels and other violence affected student mobility, as well as the interplay between the U.S. and Mexican economies.
"The current violence relates to competition over trade routes to the U.S. market," said Stuart Day, Chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. "Despite the fact that much of the narcovice in Mexico is seen in seven states, including the central state of Michoacán, I understand that Study Abroad has a major responsibility to the safety of our students."
JOSE LUIS MACHORRO Puebla Recruitment Advisor
"Puebla is the second safest city in the country, so we don't face the problems of drug cartels present in border towns like Monterrey."
When the University suspended the program scheduled in Puebla, it also pulled the fee paid to Universidad de las Americas Puebla for the use of its facilities. For administrators in Puebla, the economic withdrawal is not near as damaging as the effect on the university's reputation.
"We are a very international university, so misconceptions like this really do damage our image," said Jose Luis Machorro, Puebla recruitment advisor. "Puebla is the second safest city in the country, so we don't face the problems of drug
cartels present in border towns like Monterrey"
Luis Machorro said this is the second year American universities have chosen not to follow through with its programs. He said the university understood the obligation to protect students, but hoped the generalized fear
did not become a habit.
"It's like us issuing a danger warning for the U.S. because there's a concern in Seattle that doesn't allow our students to go to Sacramento," Luis Macharro said. "It just doesn't seem to make much sense."

LAWRENCE
Hometown country singer returns
BY HANNAH JENNISON
hjennison@kansan.com
Country singer Sarah Buxton is taking a break from her summer tour to stop by her hometown of Lawrence.
Thirty-year-old Buxton, who's song "Outside My Window" reached No. 27 on the Billboard Hot Country charts, will perform Thursday at a benefit for the Lawrence
Memorial Hospital Endowment Association.
Poetry became a passion of Buxton's when she was a teenager. She said music didn't lead her to writing or vice versa; the two were very much a part of her life.
As a child, Buxton played piano and flute, and sang in the Lawrence Children's Choir. She said she was always interested in the arts and creativity.
"I can't think of a more perfect place to grow up."
"I started writing stories when I was a small child and was always very interested in writing," Buxton said.
"Music had always been an escape

for me and when I decided to marry the two, it was like the hidden secret door to a world where anything was possible," Buxton said.
Buxton once met former
Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks, who encouraged her to pursue music.
"One of my friends told her that I was a singer," Buxton said. "She asked me if I was good. She told me that if I believe in myself, well then it's that belief that will take me to the top. She said that's how she had felt when she was my age. Her words just validated my dream and made it
more tangible."
After moving to Nashville, Buxton started a southern rock band called Stoik Oak, which toured the region for three years.
John Rich from Big & Rich encouraged Buxton to be a country singer.
"I felt that I didn't have much in common with the female singers on country radio at the time and was unsure whether country listeners wanted to hear my style of music" Buxton said.
She applied herself to a more focused goal, getting a hit on the radio.
Not only did she accomplish her goal, she has recorded and or worked with Jedd Hughes, Martina McBride, Kenny Rogers, Julianne Hough, Dierks Bentley, Little Big Town, Jack Ingram, and other famous artists.
"These people are friends, too. They're great folks. I've been really lucky. Jedd's worked with tons of greats, too. He's been in Keith's

Buxton said she recommended students be tenacious. Her advice was to not give up and to listen to your mentors and people you trust.
"Good things do come to those who wait," she said.
Although Buxton spends most of her time in Nashville and on tour,

Heavy pour could soon cost more

Lawmakers will hold off on implementing a loosely monitored state liquor law that was set to be enforced Aug. 1. The law, passed in the 80s, ruled that establishments couldn't increase the amount of alcohol in a drink without increasing the price proportionately. Mixed opinions from bar owners on the re-enforcement have prompted the legislature to postpone its
The law, if enforced, would work like this: a 16-ounce single that costs $3 would increase to $6 if doubled to a 32-ounce drink.
Local bartenders were skeptical about the law from the beginning.
"I just don't see students happy about more expensive drink prices," said Nick Manning, a Barrel House bartender and senior from Shawnee. "Part of being in college and living in a college town are the cheap drinks and deals all around town."
The law, which applies to beverages containing liquor, was originally passed to allow residents to buy liquor by the drink at public establishments. In theory, the law is supposed to deter people from purchasing larger drinks or binge drinking. But some students say the law would only affect how often they can afford to drink at bars.
"One of best parts about being in a college town are the low drink prices," Matt Mendelson, a senior from Shawnee, said. "If

The law does not take into account how much an employee will be compensated for the increase in price. Since bar owners set the drink prices to a specific amount to assure each employee will receive compensation, owners mustre-visit how much employees will be paid if the drink prices do in fact double.
everything is going to double or come close to doubling, I don't know that students are going to be able to afford to go as often."
Muskin, a bartender at The Ranch, said he was happy the law would not be enforced for now, but that he believed it should be revisited.

"I feel like there a lot of things wrong with the law," Muskin said. "It only addresses the liquor quantity, not some of the other issues involved, and I feel as though it is a hard law to monitor."

What do you think? BY SARAH HENRY
What do you think of the switch to charging for liquor by volume so that it's not cheaper in bulk?
BY SARAH HENRY
AUSTRIAN UNIVERSITY
KATY SACKUVICH Olathe senior
Most toads and drinks of sorts have some kind of advantage to buying in bulk. That way if you buy a large amount it's cheaper. So it seems a pretty odd thing to do except that they're probably trying to prevent large get-togethers where everybody is drinking."
IAN MAATTA Manhattan junior
"It seems like it's just more revenue for the state of Kansas, which isn't bad in and of itself, but people are going to have to pay more if they want to get drunk, which I guess could lead to some stress for college students."
10-42-95
JOSE VILLA Mesa, Ariz., sophomore
"It seems a little excessive that they're charging by volume, 'cause people that buy a lot to stock up to make it last longer are going to end up paying more in the long run anyway, so it's kind of unfortunate."
CHLOE ALEXANDER Shawnee senior
"I think it's a fairly harmless thing to put more of a tax on, because obviously no one's going to stop buying alcohol, and if they're using the revenue for a good reason, then what's the problem? At least they're not taxing food or a commodity that people actually need."
PENYAKU
JONATHAN FULLER Topeka senior
"There's better ways for the state to come up with more revenue than putting more taxes on alcohol. I think the state should stop repairing roads that are perfectly fine, like I-70, and not increase taxes on alcohol."

Global Partners seeks more KU men

Program hopes to increase American male enrollment
BY LUYAN WANG lwang@kansan.com
The Global Partners program is looking for more male students whose native language is English.
The program, which began in 2006, matches one international student with one American student of the same gender to share their life experiences, practice their language skills and learn about different cultures through friendship and activities. Program coordinator Celeste Yaluk said because not enough American male students registered last year, the program was forced to match two or three international men to one American man.
Yaluk said that of the 190 students registered last fall, the program had fewer international women than men.
"A lot of American girls want to participate, so we need a lot more international girls." Yaluk said.
Yaluk hopes that more American men will join this year, so that all of the international male students will have a partner. Yaluk said the program could benefit both American students and international students. She said it could be helpful for students who want to study abroad to meet people from the place they would like to go and learn about the culture before they depart.
Sidrah Sheikh, a junior from Chicago, heard about the program at a study abroad fair and joined in 2009. Sheikh's partner, Nansook, is from South Korea. They often hang out together in their free time. Sheikh said she loved the program and that it was a great way to connect with people from around the world and learn about different cultures.
"I also know that if I am ever in South Korea I will have a place to stay and someone to show me around," Sheikh said.
More than 50 students in the program come to each monthly social event. Students in the program are encouraged to come with their partners to these events, such as ice cream socials, Royals games, bowling and dinners. The program took a group of people to a pumpkin patch in October, hosted a Harvest Feast featuring dishes from all over the world in November and taught students how to bowl in early spring. In May, they had an opportunity to meet the chancellor at her home on campus.
But very few American men participate in the group events.
"I think that it's not because they wouldn't want to participate," Yaluk said. "Maybe I just haven't been able to connect with them yet."
Yaluk said many students who do register for the program continue to do so throughout their college careers.
Paige Henderson, a sophomore from Wichita, joined Global Partners in Fall 2009. Henderson's current partner is Lei Yu, an undergraduate student from China. The
two met regularly during the school year, usually for dinner. Henderson said she was looking forward to this upcoming semester in the program.
"I asked for an Indian student this semester, as I will begin studying Hindi," Henderson said.
The program matches students based on their majors and outside interests. They hope more students will be able to study together.
Brittany Love, a 2010 graduate
and former president of the KU Chemistry Club, joined the program a year ago.
Love's partner, Marina Kilduff, is from Roscommon, Ireland, and is studying chemistry at the University. Marina joined the club after they met. Marina and Love have attended all of the scheduled events for the program together and they run into each other on campus, at church and around town.
Love said she learned not only about Ireland from Marina, but also about Scotland, Saudi Arabia, China and countless other countries through Global Partners events.

Students interested in the program must register by Sept. 10. More information is available on the Office of International Programs website at www.oip.ku.edu.

Eight students win scholarships
BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com
While she was growing up in Manhattan, Alina Scalora was taught to appreciate and protect
the tall grass prairies around her home. Now, Scalora, a recent graduate, is preparing to study the grasslands in China on a Fulbright Scholarship.

really long process waiting to hear back," she said. She started working on her application last year.
Scalora is one of eight KU students who received the prestigious award last week. The Fulbright Program

chosen based on their academic performances, references and research project proposals.
Scalora said she had to turn in three letters of reference, a twopage research proposal and a personal statement to apply for the program.
"Everyone applying was capable and intelligent," she said. "I don't think I could have gotten it without all the support from people at KU."
Emma Brooke, a recent graduate from Lawrence, also received a Fulbright. She will be taking graduate classes and interning in Mexico. She said the application process was intense and competitive. She said finally getting the award was a wonderful surprise.
"I've always wanted to travel and work abroad, but it's expensive," she said. "Now, the Fulbright is giving me that opportunity."
Hodgie Bricke, assistant vice provost at the Office of International Programs, worked with the students, including Scalora and Brooke, on their Fullbright applications. She said this year was a good year for the amount of students who were awarded the grant.
Since the program was initiated in 1946, 421 KU students, including this year's recipients, have taken part in the Fullbright Program.
Scalora said between 70 and 80 people in the country received a Fulbright scholarship to China.
2010 FULBRIGHT SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS
Emelia (Emma) C. Brooke, a 2010 graduate from Lawrence
Philip D. Fox, a doctoral student from Lawrence
Andrew M. Hilburn, a doctoral student from Hattiesburg, Miss.
KuoRay Mao, a doctoral student from Lawrence
Lisa L. Rausch, a doctoral student from Lawrence
Kristen Lea Reinert, a master's student from Overland Park
Alina M. Scalora, a 2010 graduate from Manhattan
Baiba Zvaigznite Sedriks, a master's student from Lawrence
Bricke said this year's scholars were diverse because both recent graduates and graduate school students were chosen.
Scalora's program starts on September 2 and will last 10 months. She will study there and work on her proposed research project about grassland restoration policies and water availability in China, which she wants to pursue in graduate
school when she returns.
Scalora said her family had been supportive of her leaving for almost a year and that her friends were also excited for her.
"It's a big accomplishment," she said.

- McDonald's — Open 24 hours
Curbing late-night hunger in a college town is only a quick trip or a phone call away. In Lawrence, at least 22 restaurants are open past midnight.
Kirk Russell, a senior from Omaha, Neb., said he bought food after midnight at least once a week.
- Pita Pit — Open until 3 a.m.
- Pizza Shuttle — Sunday until 1:30 a.m., Monday through Thursday until 2 a.m., Friday and Saturday until 3 a.m.

"Sometimes it's after going out and sometimes it's after cramming for a test, but it's nice to not have to try to cook when you just want to eat and go to bed," Russell said.
There is a variety of food sold after midnight in Lawrence. Establishments prepare pancakes, pizza, tacos, sandwiches, hamburgers and more for the late-night crowd during the week and on weekends.
Andrew Threlkeld, general manager of 3 Spoons Yogurt on Massachusetts Street, said his business served a combination of families and students during the day, but the night crowd was mainly college students.
"It's fun to be able to provide a service at a time that is convenient for them," Threlkeld said.
While 3 Spoon Yogurt relies on foot traffic from downtown partners, other businesses make late-night money by delivering.
"Our customers try to be safe and if they are out partying then we can deliver," said Andrew Bartlow, general manager of Domino's Pizza on Iowa Street. "Our drivers are the busiest on weekends."
The variety of food is something that students enjoy.
"It's nice that there is a variety
of foods that we can get that late, and it is also nice that some places deliver so if we shouldn't be driving or don't feel like driving we can still eat," Russell said.
Most places stay open later in Lawrence than they would other towns because it is a college town.
"We see customers all week coming in all night up until we close," said Brian Schrader, general manager of Jimmy John's on Massachusetts Street. Because Lawrence is a college town, businesses are able to stay open late to accommodate people who want food after most restaurants are closed.
Ann Chapman, dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said there was a misconception about late night eating.
"I know if I ever live in a town that doesn't have a college, I'm going to have to get used to not having so many options so late," Russell said.
"Most people think that if they eat past a certain time at night that it will turn into fat, but that is not the case," Chapman said. "As long as you stay within your daily calorie intake it doesn't matter when you eat."
Students do not have to rule out the convenience of late night drive-through or carry-out, but planning for the late-night meals can prevent overeating. Preparing a late-night snack before going out is another alternative to drive-through food.
"If you are going to eat late you want to make good decisions," Chapman said.

China vows to stop reuse of cooking oil in restaurants
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — Chinese call it "gutter oil" — a foul slop fished up from sewage drains or collected at restaurant back doors — and it's being used widely in the country's eateries.
Recycled food oil is China's latest food-safety scandal that has worried consumers and brought fresh promises of government action.
China's Cabinet, the State Council, issued an order Monday that said the black-market trade posed "serious potential food safety risks." It vowed to crack down on "refined restaurant waste finding its way back to dinner tables through illegal channels."
Qin Xiong, a former chef who owns a small Sichuan-style restaurant in western Beijing, denies being involved in the trade but says he has seen barrels of food waste and oil being carted out of big restaurants and hotels in the capital nightly.
"The waste is usually held in filthy round metal barrels, each containing about 25 kilograms (55 pounds)," Qin said. The peddlers who collect it take it away on bicycle carts and are usually paid several hundred yuan (tens of dollars) a month for the service, he said. They filter the waste into slop for pigs and oil that is resold, Qin said.
While the government order did not specify a health risk, state media and industry experts said the recycled oil could have carcinogens and traces of aflatoxin, a potentially deadly mold.
"There's only a slim chance that you will be poisoned immediately afterwards if you eat this 'gutter oil.'" said Zheng Fengtian, a food safety expert at Renmin University in Beijing. "The biggest problem is that after eating this overcooked oil, people could — though some don't — develop cancer in 10 or 20 years."
So far, it's believed to be a purely domestic problem. China consumes more food oil than it can produce and imports the rest, so the recycled oil is unlikely to make its way overseas.
Media outrage over "gutter oil" compounds Chinese consumers growing anger over Beijing's inability to police the food supply.
In recent years, consumers have been horrified by fish treated with cancer-causing antibiotics, eggs colored with industrial dye and fake liquor that can cause blindness or death. Milk and infant formula laced with the industrial chemical melamine killed six children and sickened 300,000 in 2008.
Under pres-
"There's only a slim chance that you will be poisoned immediately afterwards if you eat this 'gutter oil.'
Under pressure from the public and its trade partners, China last year enacted a tough food safety law, promising harsh penalties for makers of tainted products.
Zheng, the Renmin University professor, said there are no reliable statistics on the scope of the "gutter oil" trade. A study by a teacher and a group of students at Wuhan Polytechnic University in south China earlier this year concluded
Recycled oil is likely most widely used at the places where most Chinese eat — hole-in-the-wall restaurants tucked into alleys or set up by the roadside that serve homestyle fare on Formica tables set with soy sauce and plastic-wrapped chopsticks. Particularly dangerous is hot pot — a popular fondue-like dish where eaters dip meat, fish or vegetables into a vat of bubbling oil at the table.
Peter Leedham, managing director of the Suzhou office of the food testing company Eurofins Technology Service, said "gutter oil" was mainly found "at the bottom end of the market but with such frequency that it is something that's a great worry to the Chinese government at the moment."
ZHENG FENGTIAN Food safety expert
The China Daily newspaper reported last November that authorities in Guangdong province had busted two large oil resellers. One was producing 10 tons per day and another had stored more than 32 tons of illegal oil. The official Xinhua News Agency reported earlier this month that Beijing's health inspectors had launched a weeklong crackdown on restaurants cooking with the resold fat drippings from the popular Peking Duck dish.
that recycled oil was being used to prepare 1 in 10 meals in China.
The professor who made the claim, He Dong ping, refused to discuss his findings with The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Zheng said the problem may not be widespread but that the public panic was understandable because the government has not been transparent enough about the problem.
"Had the government done an open investigation, then things might have been better," he said.
being used at restaurants, school cafeterias, work canteens and kitchens at construction sites.
In its order, the State Council said inspectors would target edible oil trade fairs and wholesale markets. It called for inspections of oil
It said that businesses that use recycled oil would be forced to close temporarily or lose their business license. Meanwhile, peddlers who sell the oil could be criminally prosecuted, it said.
Marie-Paule Benassi, a food safety official with the European Union's delegation in China, said reused cooking oil would likely contain acrylamide, a carcinogenic chemical that forms when starchy foods are baked or fried.
"The more the oil is cooked the more it will contain some residues of food and all these carcinogenic particles," Benassi said.

Audio Reader prepares for fundraiser
The organization is now accepting donated CDs, DVDs and stereos
BY SHANNA LARSON slarson@kansan.com
Before Aaron Young, a senior from Lincoln, Neb., can pack up his apartment to move, his mother insists that he go through his belongings.
"Anything that I haven't worn or used in awhile we usually just donate to Goodwill." Young said.
Students accumulate all kinds of CDs, DVDs, stereos and CD players during their college stay. Now, most CDs are imported on a computer and forgotten about. Students can put these old items to use by donating them to this year's Audio Reader fundraiser. Audio Reader, a nonprofit organization that provides access to printed material to people who are blind or cannot read, sells the donated items to help fund their programming. This year's fundraiser will be held Aug. 17 and 18.
"I think it's cool that my old CDs can be sold for a good cause," Young said.
The fundraiser, "For Your Ears Only," is in its eighth year and Audio Reader development director Brenda Berg Dyck said it is a great opportunity for students.
"Students moving in and out at the end of the summer have things they can donate, and they will be given a tax deduction receipt," Berg Dvck said.
Items can be donated to go towards the fundraiser throughout the year, but collection for this year's "For Your Ears Only" ends the third week of August. The fundraiser allows Audio Reader to provide its reading service free to people who qualify.
Kelly Gibson, a student announcer for Audio Reader, said the announcers read all kinds of material for a variety of media. Audio Reader listeners are given a password to access the station's radio frequency, online streaming and telephone programs.
"We have regular shows," she said. "We also have special requests for books, magazines and newspapers."
Students can donate items,but they can also buy CDs,DVDs and other audio related items.
"People can buy all kinds of things for a great price, and everything has been checked and cleaned before the fundraiser," Berg Dyck said.
Audio Reader is located on campus and students can take items to 1120 W. 11th Street.
"It's a pretty popular volunteer service, so usually there is a pretty long waiting list to be a reader, but students who want to help can donate." Gibson said.

Diaz is on campus attending the International Institute for Young Musicians Summer Music Academy, which kicked off July 11 and ends July 24. The program, founded by KU piano pedagogy professor Scott McBride Smith in 1990, attracts young pianists from around the world.
Diaz loves playing piano. She started playing one year ago and since then has practiced four hours every day. Diaz said she really wanted to join the program after she heard about it from her piano teacher in Venezuela.
Diaz is shy. She said playing piano was the best way for her to tell people what she is thinking.
The program aims to improve students' mastery of performance with three weeks of intensive study, practice, recitals and work with professors.
"It's so pretty," Diaz said. "And it's a way to express your feelings without talking."

KU piano professor and a long-time friend of Smith, has been working for the program since it was hosted
by the University in 1998. He said more than 100 young musicians applied for the program every year.
"Most of the students who apply for the program are self-selected," Winerock said.
The average student spends about $2,000 for the course, housing and dining. Students can always apply for scholarships.

This summer is Wang's first time in the U.S. Before Wang arrived at the University, he attended two similar programs in June — one in Texas, the other in Florida. Wang said the University's program was his favorite among the three he's attended.
Many of the students have attended the camp several times. Albert Joo, a 16-year-old from South Korea, has attended the program since 2008. Joo said great musicians and the University's excellent facilities kept bringing him back.
Winerock said the camp's faculty consists of two KU professors and five others from around the world to maintain the program's international base.
"Even though I have been here for three years now, I learn something new every year."
"Even though I have been here for

Quinn Gomez came here from Canada for the learning opportunities. Gomez said he loved music because he could express himself in a beautiful and universal way.
"I really want to get into that because I can see that as a potential career in the future," Gomez said.
Students will perform recitals every day during this week. Recitals are free and open to the public.

BOND OF BROTHERS
Family over everything
Twin basketball players spend a rare summer apart
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
F-O-E.
Those three simple letters are a staple in the Morris family. They make up the second tattoo Marcus and Markieff each-put on their arms. No amount of women and money could match it. Even when separated, the twins only care about one thing: "Family over everything."
"We cherish each other a whole lot." Markieff said. "We always think about family first. That's how we are."
If the Jayhawks have a veteran superstar, it's Marcus Morris. He earned invitations to camps hosted
by NBA All Stars Amare Stoudemire and LeBron James. In those camps, he bonded with buddies Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly from Kansas State, among other talented collegians.
Now Marcus is one of 20 college players invited to practice against the USA Men's basketball team. In other words, he gets to practice against the country's greatest NBA players. It would be perfect except for one thing - he's going alone.
It seems now "the twins" are becoming "Marcus" and "Markieff," a sign the two are defining themselves as individuals. "I really don't like it that wav."
way，”
Marcus said. "I love being the twin.I love being Markief's brother."
The twins are usually a package deal. They take all the same classes. They both get punished in practice when one messes up! And you don't have to worry about identifying them because they are always together.
Ever since Marcus' breakout season, in which he averaged 12.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, all the attention is on him. Yet the siblings regard it as mutual success.
"We're always going to share the spotlight, no matter what," Markieff said. "Neither one of us would soak without the other."
Markieff said he would love to be with his brother when he went to one of those camps, but it would be at the expense of school and his own workouts. All he'd be able to do is watch.

"It gives me kind of a boost when I'm not invited to the camps," Markieff said. "When nobody's paying attention, it's making me work harder."
This summer, Markieff wakes up for an early morning run everyday and lifts twice a day, giving Marcus reason to say his brother is a sleeper this upcoming season.
"I think he's going to explode this year." Marcus said.
The absence of Cole Aldrich will most likely help. Aldrich's 27 minutes per game will likely be divvied up between sophomore centers Thomas Robinson and Jeff Withey with Markieff in the mix.
Marcus and Markieff claim to have a "vibe" on the court because they are twins, but they haven't had a lot of court time to put it on display. They said the "vibe" allows them to know what the other is going to do and how to set each other up better, unlike any other combination on the team.
They're taking different routes to improvement this summer. But once the twins take the court later this year, they said, it will be as if they never spent a second apart.
"The connection we've got is unbelievable," Markieff said. "You'll see."

Florida, NCAA investigating potential rules violation
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — As Florida investigates a potential rules violation involving former Gators star Maurkice Pouncey, it's uncertain what the next move will be.
So far, public responses have been minimal after an ESPN.com report surfaced Monday that Pouncey allegedly received $100,000 from the associate of a sports agent a month before the 2009 season ended. An unnamed representative allegedly paid Pouncey between Florida's loss to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game on Dec. 6 and the Sugar Bowl win over Cincinnati on Jan. 1, ESPN reports.
If the allegations stick, a whole line of questioning unfolds regarding sports agents, whether Florida must vacate its Sugar Bowl victory, if any other players received similar benefits and whether twin brother Mike Pouncey, who is a rising senior at Florida, was involved.
There's currently no evidence suggesting any of that, and Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley indicates in a statement that there's no proof Pouncey taking money.
"We were made aware of some information in early June that we reported to law enforcement and we then shared with the NCAA and the SEC." Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley said in a statement. "At
this time we have no information that has indicated that there are any compliance issues for the University of Florida."
Foley declined further comment. The Orlando Sentinel left a message with UF compliance director Jamie McCloskey and Lisa Webster, the Pounceys' mother.
After winning the 2009 Rimington Trophy given to the nation's best center. Pouncey left school a year early to become the 18th overall pick of the 2010 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was one of three Gators drafted in the first round and seven in the first three rounds, a school record.

Manchester United to play in KC
TENNIS TEAM
Members of the Manchester United soccer team pose on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Tuesday. The team was in Philadelphia as part of its North American tour.
BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tickets are still available to see the English Premiere League powerhouse Manchester United face off against the hometown Kansas City Wizards on Sunday.
With 40,000 tickets sold as of July 19, there are still tickets for lowerlevel, upper-level and club-level seating. Prices range between $40 and $60. The game is scheduled for 5 p.m. July 25 and will be the first event Arrowhead Stadium will host since its renovation.
Manchester United released its 23-man roster with one notable superstar left off: Wayne Rooney. The 26-year-old forward from Liverpool will be resting nagging injuries and recovering from the World Cup match he played for England. The English were eliminated in the first game out of group play by Germany in a 4-1 loss.
Fortunately for fans, there will still be plenty of world-class talent on display. Some notable players making the trip for Manchester are Ryan Giggs (Wales) and Paul Scholes (England), as well as Edwin Van der Sar (Holland), Nani (Portugal) and Dimitar Berbatov (Bulgaria). Giggs, known as the "The Welsh Wizard", is the most accomplished of the star-studded team. The legendary midfielder has won 11 Premiere League Championships, equivalent to a an American winning 11 Super Bowl rings — which has never happened.
This will be the first trip Manchester United has made to Kansas. Soccer fans such as Tim Cooper, a senior from Des Moines, Iowa, and former collegiate soccer player, sees this as an opportunity for fans to be exposed to high-level soccer.
"It is not very often you get to see such world-renowned players play on one team," Cooper said. "I think it is important for the younger kids to watch how Man. U plays the game. There is a lot to be learned in watching a team as prestigious as Manchester United."
Manchester United was founded in 1878 and has been the standard of excellence in one of the most competitive soccer leagues in the world. Since Forbes Magazine began tracking brand values for sports teams three years ago, this is the first year Manchester United has not topped the list. Instead, the reigning Major
League Baseball Champion New York Yankees own that right. Man, U, valued at $285 million, is also a proud owner of 18 shared league titles, four league cups and a record of four Football Association Cups. Manchester will be one of the toughest opponents the Wizards will play all year.
The Wizards currently sit in fourth place (4-8-4) in the Eastern Conference behind the Chicago Fire. The match against Manchester United is a 'friendly' match, meaning
it will not affect the Wizards' league standing. The team tied the Colorado Rapids Saturday in Commerce City, Colo., and will have a week to prepare for the game against Manchester United.
Tickets can be purchased through
Ticketmaster.com or by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000. Special packages are also available through the Kansas City Wizards and can be purchased by calling 1-888-4KC-GOAL.

Brandon Simmons, former assistant athletic director of sales and marketing, entered his

guilty plea Thursday morning at the federal courthouse in Wichita. Former assistant director of ticket operations Jason Jeffries entered his guilty plea July 14.
Both confessed that they were aware of the illegal sale of more than S1 million worth of tickets since 2005.
In a plea agreement, they agree to help authorities build a case against the other four employees found to be involved in the scandal: Charlette Blubaugh, former associate athletics director of ticket operations and her husband, Tom Blubaugh; Rodney Jones, former assistant athletics director for the Williams Educational Fund; and Ben Kirtland, former head of fundraising for Kansas Athletics Inc. and associate athletic director for development.
District Judge Wesley E. Brown,
the oldest district judge in the country at 103 years old, heard both Simmons' and Jeffries' cases after all three district judges in Topeka excused themselves without explanation.
Brown is charged with misprision for concealing and not reporting ticket thefts. Misprision is a felony punishable by up to three years in prison with a year of parole and a $250,000 fine.
The sentencing for Simmons and Jeffries is scheduled for September 29.

NCAA unveils new 68-team tourney
Since the spring announcement that the NCAA men's basketball tournament would expand to 68 teams, there has been speculation on how exactly the format would play out.
Speculate no more.
The NCAA announced the format July 12, unveiling a "First Four" round of four games. The bottom
four teams in the tournament will play in two of those games in games similar to the current play-in format.
The other two first-round games will be played by the last four teams to receive
NCAA
at-large bids. They will play for whatever seed the committee deems they have earned. For
example, two at-large teams that would have received a 12 seed will play in the first round to earn a spot in the traditional 5 seed vs. 12 seed game.
The format has received a relatively warm reception considering the initial aversion to a 68-team field exhibited by media across the country.

Spikes started 10 games in 2009 and started all
13 of his freshman campaign. His 23 starts rank third most among
active players, but Spikes was not listed as the top option at either tackle position on the post-spring practice depth chart. Sophomore Tanner Hawkinson is, at the moment, listed as the No. 1 left tackle with senior Brad Thorson lining up opposite him on the right side. Spikes had been listed as Thorson's backup.
Spikes redshirted his first year at Kansas but could be granted a sixth year of eligibility with a medical redshirt this season.

REALIGNMENT
Conference changes affect academics
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
As much as conference realignment was driven by financial aspects, one thing was always mentioned about the appeal of the Big Ten beyond the television revenue: the academic reputation of the conference. The academic side was never a real motivating factor in realignment talks, but it will be affected nonetheless.
The Big Ten is recognized as the strongest academically of the six BCS conferences, largely because of the presence of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, which
serves as a sister organization to the conference, linking the schools academically as the conference does athletically.
"The Big 12 doesn't have quite the developed academic side that the Big Ten does," said Jack Martin, deputy director of University relations at Kansas. "There have been increased connections between schools in the conference, but there's no formal organization like the CIC."
"It was something that we were hoping could be devised within the Big 12," she said, "but the rest of the conference never seemed interested or it never came together to the degree at which the Big Ten operates."
The University of Nebraska is the only school making the leap from the Big 12 to the Big Ten, but several others were reportedly interested before the Big 12 managed to hold together at the eleventh hour.
Kelly Bartling, manager of news at Nebraska, did not go as far as saying academics were a driving factor, but she did express disappointment that no organization like the CIC ever grew from the Big 12.
Bartling said the Big 12 did have academic collaborations with faculty, students and research being exchanged among schools, but that the CIC was a much more formal
arrangement.
Ann Brill, Dean of the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, said she was disappointed McCoy was no longer coming to Kansas, but did not know if it was related to conference realignment.
Nebraska associate professor of journalism Bernard McCoy, a Kansas alumnus, was going to come teach at Kansas next year, but has recently decided not to.
"The note that I got from Professor McCoy just said that the funding wasn't there," Brill said. "Mike Williams told me it was related to the Big 12 realignment. All I know is
that the professor that we were interested in isn't coming anymore."
Williams, head of the news and information track in the journalism school, did not immediately respond to messages left at his office.
Martin said that the University doesn't have formal arrangements with schools in or out of the conference, but that it would not and has not limited itself to collaborating academically with schools within the conference.
"We have guys working with the Pac-10, the Ivy League," he said. "Collaborating with institutions outside the Big 12 will continue."

Matt Bettencourt wins Reno-Tahoe Open by 1 stroke
Associated Press
RENO, Nev. Rocco Mediate can expect something special in the mail this week from longtime friend Matt Bettencourt.
Bettencourt said much of the credit for his one-stroke victory at the Reno-Tahoe Open on Sunday — his first PGA Tour win — goes to Mediate's regular caddie Matthew Achatz, who carried Bettencourt's bags this week while Mediate was working as a TV analyst at the British Open.
"Thank you, Rocco, for letting me use him," Bettencourt said. "He kept me so relaxed all week and
really made me believe in myself and my ability."
Bettencourt hit only two greens on the back nine Sunday, but eagled the 11th hole and scrambled his way down the stretch to shoot a 68 and finish at 11-under 277, one stroke ahead of Bob Heintz.
"He's seen it all. He went toe-to-toe with Tiger at Torrey Pines a few years ago," he said about Woods' victory over Mediate in a playoff at the 2008 U.S. Open. "So it was great to have him step in this week, and thanks to Rocco for being over at the British Open and commentating."
Playing together, Heintz (69) missed a three-foot birdie putt on
No.18 that would have forced a playoff at Montreux Golf & Country Club on the edge of the Sierra.
The drama unfolded because Bettencourt hit his drive into a fairway bunker and his approach into a greenside trap after Heintz had stiffed his second shot.
"He calmed me down and that's what I was ready to do, ready to go back and give it my best," said Bettencourt, who ended up with a bogey on the last hole but won
Bettencourt said Aschatz told him, "Look, he's got an easy putt, there's no chance he's going to miss it. Let's regroup. Go out and we'll hit a much smarter tee shot on 18 and we'll go make birdie in the playoff."
when Heintz missed his putt.
"My heart goes out to Bob. He's fought so hard. He hit a good putt, it just didn't go in and fortunately it was my time," he said.
In addition to the $540,000 winner's check, Bettencourt earned a spot for the first time in next month's PGA Championship and is guaranteed his place on tour through 2012.
"This win is so incredible to me. It gives me so many opportunities," said Bettencourt, who won the money title on the Nationwide Tour in 2008 and tied for 10th at the U.S. Open last year. He finished 111th on the PGA money list with $740,037 that year.

Heintz started the week trying to qualify for a Nationwide Tour event in Ohio before he was notified held qualified for this event, hopping a plane to Nevada on Tuesday. A 40-year-old graduate of Yale with a degree in economics, he was pleased to come away with $324,000 for second.
"I think it's my biggest check ever," Heintz said. "I kind of played like the Bob of old where my survival instincts kicked in and my short game was just shy of brilliant all day. I holed out three times from off the green."
John Merrick and Mathias Gronberg each shot 69 and tied for third at 9 under.
Robert Gamez (68), Kent Jones (68), Alex Cejka (69), Kevin Stadler (70) and Craig Barlow (72) all finished another stroke back at 8 under.
Scott McCarron, a former Reno resident and Montreux member who served as the tournament host, started the day at 10 under with a one-stroke lead over John Mallinger and Robert Garrigus. But he fell to a tie for 35th at 1 under with five bogeys and two double-bogeys on the way to an 81.
Mallinger had a quadruple-bogey 9 on the 616-yard 9th — dropping twice from unplayable lies after driving wide left into the trees and sage brush. He shot 77 and tied for 21st.

OBITUARY
National champion runner dies at 78
KU
Dick Wilson, a former track and cross-country runner, died Saturday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. He won a national championship at Kansas and was inducted into the KU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.
Track star fought cancer for more than 21 months
BY HANNAH JENNISON hjennison@kansan.com
Kansas track star Richard "Dick" Wilson Sr. died Saturday at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after a 21-month battle with brain cancer. He was 78.
Wilson was born Dec. 29,1931 in Schenectady, N.Y. He graduated from Mount Pleasant High School in 1950 and attended the University on a cross country and track scholarship.
Wilson was a member of the 1953 NCAA championship cross-country team — Kansas' only cross-country team to ever win a national championship — and part of the four-mile relay team that broke the American record that same year. In 2008 he was inducted into the KU Athletics Hall of Fame.
After graduation, Wilson served in the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Reserves from 1956 to 1968, achieving the rank of captain.
He married Phyllis JoAn Fink on July 15, 1956.
He began his career in commercial underwriting in 1957 and advanced until he retired in 1992 in Lawrence. He was with the Travelers Insurance Company for 35 years.
He and his wife raised three children, moving from Schenectady, N.Y., Palatine, Ill., and Indianapolis before settling in Lawrence in 1992.
A competitive Masters runner for more than 30 years, Wilson was nationally ranked in the top 10 of his age group every year from 1985 to 2005. In 2003 he was ranked No. 2
in the nation and No.4 in the world in his age group.
Last year, after doctors removed 95 percent of a brain tumor, Wilson ran in the Head for the Cure 5K,a race to support the Chris Anthony Tumor Research Fund at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.The race honors the late Chris Anthony, who died at 37 from a brain tumor.
"Maybe someday there will be a cure," Wilson said in a 2009 Kansan
article about participating in the race. "And if there is, it can hopefully help my children and help my grandchildren."
His wife survives him. Other survivors include two sons, Rick and wife Leslie, Indianapolis, and Steve and wife Michelle, Overland Park; a daughter, Patricia Geyling and husband Rolf, Santa Barbara, Calif.; 12 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Mud, dead fish replace lake after Iowa dam break
NATIONAL
BY MICHAEL J. CRUMB
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa - Acres of mud strewn with dead fish greeted hundreds of eastern Iowa residents Monday after a weekend dam break left their lakefront properties overlooking little more than a small stream.
The Lake Delhi dam in Delaware County gave way under the rapidly rising Maquoketa River on Saturday.
decimating the nine-mile-long lake and adjacent property values.
"The water's gone, dead fish are laying there on the bottom — it's a pretty nasty looking scene," said Irv Janey of Marion, who owns a condominium on Lake Delhi. "It was a beautiful recreation area and to see it drained, it just makes you sick."
Heavy rains last week forced the river to unprecedented levels, causing earthen portions of the dam to collapse and sending a torrent
of water rushing downstream. The concrete section of the dam remained intact, but the swollen river damaged about half the 1,000 homes and cabins above it. The lake quickly emptied.
"We have over $100 million in homes on the lake and none of them are worth what they were when they had water in front of them," said Jim Willey, director of the Lake Delhi Recreation Association. "You have a home with a lake or a home with
"What might have been a $500,000 house is probably worth only a quarter of what it once was."
a mud flat.
Property owners clearly hope the lake will be restored. But it is up to the association to decide whether to rebuild the dam, built in 1927 to produce hydroelectricity. The lake is now used solely for recreation and the association members pay dues to maintain it.

A collection of strange situations from around the world
Man wearing clown pants fake breasts robs bank
SWISSVALE, Pa. — Authorities say a Pittsburgh-area man robbed a bank wearing a woman's blond wig, fake breasts under a sweater and clown pants.
Swissvale police say 48-year-old Dennis Hawkins of North Braddock was sitting in a parked car covered in red dye from an exploding packet in a bag of money when he was arrested Saturday.
Police Chief Greg Geppert says Hawkins robbed the bank at gunpoint, using a toy BB gun he had shoplifted from a store.
Geppert says Hawkins then entered a woman's car. She got out, took her keys and alerted police. Hawkins was found sitting in the car.
He is being held on $230,000 bail. It's not clear whether he has an attorney.
Woman attacks invader with railroad spike
POPLAR BLUFF, Mo. — When an intruder came into her home,
Stephanie Molina grabbed the first thing she could find to fight him off — a railroad spike. It worked, and police followed the trail of blood to the suspect's apartment.
Molina was at her apartment early Friday when a man began shouting outside their door, saying, "Jerry, you owe me money." Molina said she didn't know anyone named Jerry.
Police followed the blood trail to Waltman's apartment in the same building. He was arrested after struggling with police.
Police said 45-year-old Glen Walt man kicked in the door, grabbed Molina and hit her. She picked up the spike and fought back.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. — An Pennsylvania woman has been cited for harassment after her son told police she cleaned the bathroom with his toothbrush, then returned it to its holder. Police in Lower Saucon said 52-year-old Deborah Woist decided

that a bathroom inside her home needed a scrubbing because it hadn't been cleaned in two months.
Her 26-year-old son, Justin Novack, said the scrubbing was done with his toothbrush. He said his mother put it away when she was done.
Novack then called police, claiming his mother applied feces to his toothbrush.
$4,800 worth of marijuana found stashed in painting
CANTON, Ga. — A Cherokee County man found a hidden treasure in a painting he bought at an auction: four pounds of marijuana. Gordon Clement, 80, discovered the pot stashed in the painting, which he bought at an auction about five years ago. He found the drugs last weekend when he tried to sell the artwork at another auction.
Clement planned to ask $25 for the piece. Police said the marijuana was worth about $4,800.

ROCK CHALK RESTRICTION
New policy limits sidewalk chalking
BY LUYAN WANG
lwang@kansan.com
Businesses and others outside the University community will no longer be allowed to write on campus sidewalks to advertise events. A new University policy that takes effect Aug.1 will ban anyone who isn't registered with the Student Involvement and Leadership Center from chalking without permission from the University Events Committee.
Senior Vice Provost Don Steeples said sidewalks were used to transport people from place to place and said people should put their advertisements on bulletin boards if they wanted publicity.
Student Union Activities President Rachel Anderson said the new policy would help reduce confusion among students and keep the bulliten boards and campus more organized. Anderson said the new policy would help to better promote SUA.
"From an SUA perspective, it's hard to get the word out when there is so much clutter on the bulletin boards and on the streets of campus," Anderson said.
Anyone who chalks in violation of this policy can be charged with violation of a criminal offense under state law for criminal damage to state property, according to the new policy. Chalking by unauthorized individuals or groups will be removed immediately. The people involved will be subject to University disciplinary proceedings and may be charged for the cost of cleanup.
"If they want to test us in court, we will be glad to run the test in court." Steeples said.
Steeples said the policy, which has taken more than two years to develop, was meant to make the sidewalks more available to registered student groups. Steeples said the provost's office had discussed the policy with Student Success, Facilities Operations,
and more than a dozen administrators, faculty members and students. Chalking is only permitted on horizontal campus sidewalks with water-soluble, dry stick sidewalk chalk by registered University groups and student and campus organizations.
"If we had billboards, we wouldn't allow someone to use our billboard for free," Steeples said. "Why should we allow people to do advertising on our sidewalks for free?"
Jessie Plotkin, manager at Envy clothing store, 911 Massachusetts St., said chalking on sidewalks was a way to get the store's name out, and the new policy was silly.
"We have to change our marketing strategy" Plotkin said.
Ryan Lantz, general manager at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., said the bar would turn its advertising focus toward social media.
Attorney and journalism professor Mark Johnson said other universities had chalking policies, but most only
specified what type of chalks could be used and where it was allowed. Some universities require organizations to give advance notice and make sure signs are removed within a week after the event.
Steeples said the outside individuals and groups basically couldn't get permission to chalk on campus, but Johnson said the new policy didn't clearly state that.
The new chalking policy has two separate categories: registered campus groups and everyone else. Johnson said a policy that only allows one category to advertise on sidewalks raised some legal questions.
"I will be curious to find out what their legal reason of this for saying this policy is consistent with free speech," Johnson said.
Steeples said the policy especially wanted to address the use of materials other than water-soluble sidewalk chalk — such as paint or aerosol spray chalk — and chalking on surfaces that
were difficult to clean - such as walls and stair risers, covered sidewalks and brick surfaces - because such practices placed increased demands on the University's maintenance budget.
Facilities Operations landscape maintenance project manager Michael Lang said he and his employees only cleaned up chalking done with non-water-soluble products, and that most chalking was washed away by rain.
Facilities Operations director Douglas Riat said the University spent between $3,000 and $4,000 to remove graffiti and chalk every year.
Students have opposing opinions on this issue. Lauren Hopper, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said the new policy didn't really matter as long as state property was protected.
But Andrew Farmers, a graduate student from Spring Hill, said anyone who wanted to chalk on campus should be able to.
"It sucks," Farmers said.

University hosts young female leaders from Morocco, Egypt
BY SARAH HENRY editor@kansan.com
A grant from the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has allowed the University to host Women's Civic Leadership from the Heartland this month. The program focuses on teaching leadership and women's political history to women from Morocco and Egypt. Program participants are pursuing undergraduate degrees and were selected by the embassies in their home countries.
The Women's Civic Leadership from the Heartland program began July 6 and will end Aug.11, but
the training and networking won't stop when they leave. The grant
will allow the University to continue networking, host webinars, and fund microprojects in the women's own communities through March.

Participants stay in University housing and attend guest lectures by professors of political science, communications and history. They receive leadership training from professors Banwart and Witzcak, and take part in home stays, experiencing a variety of worship services and visiting regional points of interest.
The program provides meetings with female leaders in academics, government, law, business, military and media.
Participants will be traveling in their last week to Philadelphia, where they will meet with Judge Marjorie Osterlund Rendell, spend a few days visiting the National
Constitution Center and learn about women's history and constitutional processes.
Finally, the participants will head to Washington, D.C., where they will meet women active in politics academics and the media.
Banwart, Britton and Witzcak said they hoped that this continuation of the program would offer the women support when they returned home and they hoped that the skills they gained in this program would carry them through their careers as leaders in their communities.
"These women are going to be the future of their countries," Britton said.

Nothing compares to first-hand experience
TIRASPOL, MOLDOVA — A Moldavian journalist I met quipped that three days in his country is only long enough to understand the wine. I'd argue it's only long enough to find a reason to stay longer.
Moldova earned a spot in the American news stream for a brief period in April 2009. Disputed election results and accusations of fraud culminated in a political uprising that lasted days.
By the end of the week news outlets lost interest and Moldova quickly disappeared from their collective news feeds. As a result, many Americans forgot about this small Eastern European country — myself included.
Protesters stormed parliament, three people died and one of the world's first "Twitter Revolution" was underway. (Though Twitter's actual role in the demonstration remains questionable.)
That is until two months ago, when I added Chisinau, Moldova's capital, to the itinerary of cities I'd visit

BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com
Before my June 14 departure, I spent several nights researching Moldova, Europe's poorest country.
What I found in news archives, YouTube videos and Wikipedia entries was equally fascinating and disturbing. I read stories about economic struggle, a national identity crisis, corrupt government officials and nearly every form of illegal trafficking, including human, organ, weapons and even Tyson chicken.
Yet no amount of research could
have prepared me for my trip to Kirilemi, a small village in Western Moldova. Dasha, a young Russian I met on the train from Kiev, Ukraine, to Chisinau, invited me there to visit her and her grandparents.
I took her up on the offer and arrived in Kirileni six days later. Of course there were the obvious signs of poverty and rural life: rutted dirt roads, farm animals wandering freely and houses made from steel roofs and mud bricks. But it was a peaceful village with few signs of corruption, political unrest or trafficking — a place of little interest to most people.
Dasha and her family were warm and gracious hosts, as equally interested in me as I was in them. Though their living standards fell far short of most Americans', they appeared content. Dasha even boasted that while many villagers still rode horse and wagons, her grandfather had not one, but two cars.
This quaint and peaceful side of Moldova is rarely presented in American mass media. To experience it you must go there yourself.
That's not to say I expect everyone who reads this to catch the earliest flight to Chisinau. But in a time when an infinite amount of information is available at the click of a mouse, it's easy to substitute the virtual world for the real world.
No number of YouTube videos, Wikipedia entries or Flikr photo galleries could adequately represent Kirileni. The same holds true for any village, town or city in any country anywhere in the world.
When it comes to understanding the world,it took me a village to realize there is no substitute for firsthand experience. We must discover it for ourselves.

Racial injustices continue to occur
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
This was one of my favorite quotations from Martin Luther King Jr's famous "I Have a Dream" speech. He argued adamantly that we must not allow racism and hate among Americans of different colors. Yet racism still exists today and it isn't improving. There have been many instances of racism since President Obama has taken office, but I only want to concentrate on one.

Panther Party stood outside a polling station in Philadelphia. They resembled police officers with their uniforms. One of them also had a nightstick. They shouted, "You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker!" Mostly, they targeted white voters in an effort to gain more votes for Obama by black voters. Do you feel the love here? Not only is this racism, it's also against the law.
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 states that "No voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure shall be imposed or applied by any State or political subdivision to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color." Indeed, these two men were caught on video violating this law by abridging the right of citizens to vote based on race or color.
This case was filed in Bush's Department of Justice at the end of his term.
Eric Holder, the attorney general appointed by President Obama, recently dismissed the case, despite controversy over why it had been dropped. The fact
that the case was dropped only exacerbates racial tensions. Essentially, these blatant racists of the NBPP were given a slap on the wrist for breaking the law. What would MLK think about that if he were alive today?
I remember Obama saying during his campaign that he would unite everyone. Yet people seem to be more distant than ever. He is merely fueling the fire by allowing Holder to dismiss the case. Again, judge people by their actions — in this case, intimidating voters — not by the color of their skin. As soon as this happens, I believe racial tensions can improve.

International students adjust to U.S.
International students and orientation leaders join in front of Mrs. E's during Fall 2009's orientation. Orientation will be Aug. 8-13 for international students coming to the University this fall.

International Student and Scholar Services is expecting 400 new international students at orientation, which is Aug. 8-13. To prepare for orientation, ISSS hired 23 orientation leaders, the largest staff it's ever had. ISSS is hoping more volunteers will help with this year's orientation.

She didn't have a phone at that time, so people in the club offered their phones to her so she could call home and tell her family she was safe. Nadig could also use friends' computers to check her e-mail.
According to the International Student and Scholar Services website, there were 1,911 international students at the University in Spring 2010, which made up 7.54 percent of total enrollment. However, not every new international student has the initial support that Nadig had.
Saki Yoshida, a sophomore from Hiroshima, Japan, stayed in her dorm for about two weeks without Internet access before the next regular semester began. The international phone she brought from Japan was the only tool she could use to tell her parents she was safe. But she could make international calls every time she felt lonely.

Beyond phone and Internet issues, there are a lot more things for new international students to deal with in their first few days in Lawrence. In order to enroll at the University, they must finish ISSS legal documents check-in, health check-in and Applied English Center checkin. The staff is there to help navigate the process, Stahr said.
International students will learn a lot of new things during the orientation: cultural adjustment, what to expect in American classrooms, banking in the U.S. and how to get involved on campus. Stahr said volunteers who would like to help new students would be really appreciated.
Xiaojun Shi, a May 2010 graduate, said she learned a lot about American culture and customs during the orientation week. She enjoyed meeting new friends during that week.
Shi said the information she got in the orientation helped her learn to live in a new place. She later volunteered at new student orientation to help more students.
"That's very meaningful," Shi said. "I feel good that I can help new students."
Cell phone issues are always on the top of the list for orientation members. Vivien Chan, graduate student from Hong Kong, who has been working as an orientation leader for four years, said most of
the new international students who attended orientation did not have cell phones.
"The first thing they want is a phone," Chan said.
Stahr said this year ISSS will have a cell phone fair on campus, but students won't be able to open a line at that time. Students have to go to a mobile phone store to open a line. Stahr said orientation staff would drive students to mobile phone stores to set up their accounts. She said that process would work better if there were more volunteers to help.
Students who would like to volunteer for this year's You at KU can e-mail isssprograms@ku.edu.

KU student strives to help others
Ghanan scholar works toward degree
BY LUYAN WANG
lwang@kansan.com
Christopher Tuu had a dream. He wanted to leave his village in Ghana and come to America. He wanted to study at a university and earn a master's degree in special education. Tuu then wanted to return home and teach children in his country.
But a few years ago, Tuu's dream seemed impossible.
"I really want to study abroad," Tuu said. "The problem is that I do not have money."
Studying in the United States was too expensive for Tuu. He did not have enough money to support himself abroad. In Ghana, only a few people have the chance to study in America.
But money was not Tui's only complication. He is also blind.
Tuu contracted the measles at age five. He survived the disease, which is often fatal, but lost his sight.
When Tuu was young, he often heard people around him talking about America, but he said he didn't believe America existed. For him, America was a utopia that couldnt be real.
"Many people died because of measles disease," Tuu said. "But I am still alive."
After he finished his bachelor's degree in social studies at a university in Ghana, Tuu developed a passion for teaching, and he wanted to help people, especially children who were like him. He taught social studies in a school for the blind for almost 10 years, but never gave up his dream of coming to America.
"People said America was beautiful." Tuu said. "And everywhere was amazing."
In 2007, Tuu applied for a Ford Scholarship. After waiting nearly a year, he finally received word that he had been chosen as one of the Ford Foundation Fellows. Tuu would be going to the University of Kansas.
But coming to the U.S was not as easy as Tuu thought. He spent a year in Ghana preparing for his trip.
learning about American cultures and custom, and most importantly, how to type on a computer.
It was still an up-hill battle after arriving at the University in 2009. He needed mobility training and had to familiarize himself with KU on Wheels get around campus.
Because Tuu lived in Stauffer Place apartments on campus, the nearest bus stop for him to come to campus was in front of McCollum Residence Hall. From there, he took the Campus Express to school.
Mark Craig, a special education teacher, taught Tuu to use a cane to walk from his apartment to the bus stop. Craig said it was challenging, but Tuu mastered it. Craig has trained hundreds of blind people and he said Tuu was one of the most successful students.
Tuu said he loved the people here and everyone was friendly to him. His professors do everything they can to help him succeed, but Tuu did have difficulties with his studies. Because of his blindness, he relies heavily on a software called Gows, which reads the text of course documents to him. Because he couldn't always find someone to help him enter the course documents into his computer, he had trouble finishing his reading assignments on time.
Mary Morningstar, Tuu's adviser and special education professor, said she had learned a lot about services for people with disabilities in Ghana from Tuu.
Tuu said he loved studying and hoped people in Ghana were encouraged after hearing his story. He said if a blind person could go to college in America, nobody had the excuse to fail in school.
Because of this, Tuu wants to return to his home country and make a difference for people there with disabilities.
"People who have disabilities in Ghana could not get the same service as in America," Morningstar said.
"I want to go back home and help more people in Ghana," he said.

KU student arrested at sit-in advocating immigration reform
BY ALISON CUMBOW alisonc@kansan.com
Myrna Orozco has been in what she calls hiding — avoiding the police, trying not to attract attention to herself and keeping her secret from her friends — since she was four years old, when she moved to the United States.
Twenty-year-old Orozco's secret is that she is an undocumented immigrant.
But she's not hiding anymore — Orozco was arrested July 20, when she and 20 other DREAM Act advocates were participating in a sit-in in various U.S. senators' offices. Orozco and three others were in the office of Sen. John McCain, a Republican from Arizona. Five students were arrested in the office of Sen. Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada.
And 12, including undocumented KUjunior Ricardo Quinones, were arrested in the atrium of the Hart Senate Office Building.
"They said they were going to arrest us if we didn't leave," she said. "But we were

including Kansas, currently allow undocumented students to go to college.
Quinones said in a July 22 news release that he was tired of being told he didn't belong here.
"This is my home. This is my
country," he said. "I believe passing the DREAM Act will show that our society doesn't believe in criminalizing children for the decisions of their parents."
Quinones said his heart was pounding as he was being arrested and that he knew there was a possibility of deportation, but he was doing it for the DREAM Act.

thing that could help me," he said.
Orozco and the three other people who were in Sen. McCain's office were charged with unlawful entry. They were taken by the Capitol Police Department first, then the Washington Metropolitan Police Department and then taken to a courthouse. Orozco was one of four out of the 21 taken into custody to spend the night in jail. The other 17 students, including Quinones, were charged with disorderly conduct.
Orozco was asked for identification, and she only had her Rockhurst University student ID. She said she told the police that she was undocumented and that it felt liberating to do so.
Orozco was not contacted by Immigration and Naturalization Services, but she hasn't ruled out the possibility that it would pursue her case.
"I went in knowing the consequences," she said. "My whole life, I've been avoiding the cops, so to do it and know they would be there was a whole new feeling."

SCENE CHANGE
Live music in the digital age
BY JANENE GIER
jgier@kansan.com
In 2005, Rolling Stone Magazine named Lawrence one of the "Best Lil College Towns" in the country, largely based on its local music scene. The same year, a New York Times travel column claimed Lawrence had "the most vital music scene between Chicago and Denver."
Five years later, the Lawrence music scene is still alive and strong. But now, local musicians and venues face new and increasing pressures and competition, making it harder to draw the same large crowds to events and possibly threatening the esteemed reputation of Lawrence local music.
SO, WHAT'S TO BLAME?
Before the days of iTunes,
new bands could draw a crowd
just because it was the only
way for people to hear their music. Previewing music on the Web has become routine taking away valuable opportunities for bands to create a live music experience.

The vibe and ambience that a great live show produces comes from combining lighting, sound, crowd presence and an interaction with the musicians that can only be experienced by attending at a live show, said Bethany Hess, office manager at the Granada Theater, 1020 Massachusetts St.

"It's a shame because every band has something to offer live that they can't offer on the Web," said Danny Spence, a recent KU graduate who reviewed albums for student run radio station KJHK.
Spence said bands that didn't put their highest-caliber music samples online failed to attract listeners that would have otherwise become a fan from hearing their material live. When people sample music online, he said, it had to be as good and powerful as possible to bring people out to the shows. "I think we've raised a generation where being in front of the computer seems normal," said Jon Niccum, who has covered the music scene in Lawrence and Kansas City for various publications for the last 20 years.
The California Crains perform at KJHK's annual Farmer's Ball battle of the bands at the Bottleneck last November. The other acts three acts were Cloud Dog, Dutch Newman, and Katlyn Conroy.

Niccum said the increase in computer use in the past decade has definitely become a contributing factor to the decrease in live concert attendance.
DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY
Corcoran, a KU alumnus and manager at Love Garden, 822 Massachusetts St. It's about drinking beer and getting laid.
Spence, also an MC and DJ for a monthly open mic night at the 8th Street Taproom, said the DJ scene has taken off with a fever.
When the club scene started to take off in the late '90s, attendance at live local shows dropped off, said Niccum, who noticed the transition in '97.
For college students, it's not about the music, said Kelly.
"People are much more likely to be open when they're dancing to songs they know." Corcoran said. "If they're playing booty jams at some joint, that's where people are going to be more likely to go."
SAVING UP AND FORKING OUT FOR THE BIG NAMES
People will spend $500 to go to Coachella or some big festival for the weekend, Corcoran said. Even though it might be a terrible place to see a show, people are convinced they need to go because all of their friends are going, he said.
"Bigger names can guaran tee a huge crowd," Spence said. "And people will pay more for the bigger, out of town acts."
turnout for the bands isn't what they deserve," Hess said.
Hess said she noticed a big drop in local attendance at live shows in 2000, around the same time she began attending big shows in Kansas City and Topeka.
"Of course people are and were still performing, but the
In 2006, the Wakarausa Music and Camping Festival, held in Clinton State Park, sold nearly 20,000 tickets, with 80 percent of attendees coming from out side Kansas. In 2009 the festival moved to Arkansas."
Larger venues in Lawrence like the Granada and the Taproom have the space for large shows, said Zach Hangauer, owner and operator of Range Life Records. in Lawrence, but local bands don't normally have the fan base to fill those places.
"Every now and then there's something that comes together where a local band turns one of those places out," Hangauer said.
WHERE FROM HERE? Now that Hess works at the Granada, she said she is right in the middle of the local music scene.
"Build it and they will come," Hess said. "When a person comes to a show, it's a one time experience and it has to be a remarkable one."

Dining Services offers local produce
BY LUYAN WANG
lwang@kansan.com
KU Dining Services is providing fresh, local produce through a new program called Farm to Cart. Students and faculty can buy fresh fruits, vegetables and other products from local farms every Wednesday from 10 a.m.to 3 p.m.at The Market in the Kansas Union.
Farm to Cart kicked off June 2, a year after Dining Services' primary food provider, Sysco, began buying produce from local farms. Dining Services director Nona Golledge said Dining Services spent about a year setting up Farm to Cart before offering it at the University.
Stephen Webb, a junior from Lawrence, said it was a great idea to have fresh and local food on campus.
"It's good to make healthy choices like that." Webb said.
Every Friday, Sysco sends a list
of available products to Dining Services. Dining Services then selects the items it wants and posts a list of available items on its website to let people know what the cart will offer in the coming week. Golledge said the
"We are very competitive with what's out there in other markets," Golledge said.

Christina Fischer, a resident of Boulder, Colo., came to campus for her niece's orientation. Fischer said the cart looked great and she might buy some products if she got a chance.
Unlike Webb and Fischer, Hiromi Hori, an undergraduate student from Nara, Japan, said she preferred the grocery store over the Farm to Cart program because grocery stores offered more variety.
Golledge said if the Farm to Cart program gained popularity with students, Dining Services would certainly look into expanding its offerings in the future.

Iranian president to engage in U.N. talks
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says talks with the major powers over Iran's disputed nuclear program will start in early September regardless of the conditions he set earlier.
Ahmadinejad last month gave conditions for talks with the U.N. Security Council and Germany including their stance on Israel's nuclear program and Iran.
The European Union and Canada on Monday adopted a new round of sanctions against Iran, targeting the country's foreign trade, banking and energy sectors.
The West has accused Iran of seeking to develop atomic weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful.
Ahmedinajad told state TV late Monday, however, that Iran would "follow negotiations" whether or not the conditions are met.

New screening spots autism sooner
CAT
Vice Provost of Research and Graduate Studies Dr. Steven Warren along with other researches has developed a system to help detect autism in children. The system uses automated vocal analysis to help diagnose autism.

KU professor's research leads to earlier diagnosis
BY KIRSTEN KWON kkwon@kansan.com
KU professor Steven E. Warren spent five years studying the LENA system and its accuracy in detecting probable cases of autism. His research, which shows the screening works, has now been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
LENA, short for Language Environment Analysis, uses audio recordings of children to monitor the development of their language and whether the child could have autism. Children wear the recording device for 16 hours in their natural environment. The information is then sent back to the LENA foundation, where reports are drawn using computer software with specific algorithms.
The research showed that through acoustic parameters and vocalizations, children as young as one year old could be diagnosed with autism. Normally a child isn't diagnosed until around age five.
Warren, a professor of applied behavioral science and vice provost for research and graduate studies, said the breakthrough could change the way pediatricians treated children who may have autism.
"If further research indicates that this technology is able to identify very young children with autism
before they are identified by other means, then yes, this could impact the way doctors view autism screening," Warren said.

words the child is exposed to and what kind of vocalizations the child makes throughout the day. When the recordings are examined, it produces a developmental age for the child, an autism risk score and a behavioral questionnaire. The screening can also tell parents if the child's interactions provide greater possibility for verbal improvement.
"It could be useful to parents who are interested in whether their child is being raised in an optimal environment for language development," Warren said.
Mia Moe, director of communications at LENA, said the screen sped up the process of autistic diagnosis — a process she said was too slow.
“Parents raise their concerns to the pediatrics but they say, 'Let's wait and see; maybe they're developing slower,'” Moe said. “Well then
it's six months later and it's really clear that something isn't right and now they're on wait list."
The average time spent on the wait list to see a specialist for diagnosis is six to eight months.
Jill Gilkerson, language research director at LENA, said the disconnect between early intervention and diagnosis was reduced with the screening. She said the LENA screening

Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
Hank Zhang, a post-doctoral student from China, works in the lab of Dr. Barbara Timmermann Monday afternoon on the Multidisclipinray Research Building on west campus. Dr. Timmerman, a distinguished professor and the chair of the department of medicinal chemistry, was named the next president of the Society of Pharmacognosy earlier this month. Timmerman is only the second woman in the history of the society to be named president.

The University gained worldwide recognition this month when the Society of Pharmacognosy

appointed Barbara Timmermann, distinguished professor and chair of the University department of medicinal chemistry, as its future president.
Timmerman
Timmermann's selection marks the second time in the society's 52-year history that a woman will be president. Timmermann said she hoped her role would help inspire other women in science, specifically in chemistry.
Timmermann has spent more than 30 years studying pharmacognosy - the study of medicines derived from natural resources, such as plants. She contributed extensively to the medicinal garden that was recently built at the West Campus greenhouse, 1865 E. 1600 Rd.Her hard work was recognized at the 2010 annual joint meeting of the American Society of Pharmcognosy and the Phytochemical Society of North America.
Timmermann was announced as the future president of the Society of Pharmocognosy on July 10 in St. Petersburg, Fla. For the next
year, Timmermann will act as vice president, shadowing and learning from the current president, before becoming president at next year's annual conference in San Diego. The three-year program will also include a year of post-presidential responsibilities.
Her role in the Society of Pharmocognosy will provide unique opportunities for KU students, Timmermann said.
Timmermann said she plans to bring graduate and post-doctoral medicinal chemistry students to various conferences, programs and meetings.
"It puts KU on the world's map," Timmermann said, "and will give a chance to the younger scientists to participate at conferences."
Juan Araya, a graduate student and Fulbright Fellowship winner from Costa Rica, accompanied Timmermann to Florida last week, where students participated in the conference by giving poster presentations. Araya also gave an oral presentation to the society about methods for natural product extraction. He will accompany Timmermann next summer when she is inducted as the new president.
"I think we will have the chance to show other investigators more about our research group and KU in general," Arayas said.
Hank Zhang, a post-doctoral student from China, said Dr. Timmermann was one of the leading natural product chemists in the world and was excited to know about Dr. Timmermann's new position.
"All the members in our labs are proud to work in her advanced labs and be a part of her fascinating projects," Zhang said.
While she is acting as president, Timmermann will host a phar-
macognosy conference with other nations that occurs only once every five years. The event will be held in New York and will allow students to network with scientists from all over the world. Timmermann said she was looking forward to the event because she thought her ability to speak six languages would be useful when communicating. But Timmermann said being in New York wouldn't be all business.
"I'll probably go shopping, too," Timmermann said. "That's the woman in me."

Dog Days sponsors charity runs
BY SHANNA LARSON
slarson@kansan.com
Red Dog's Dog Days summer workouts are coming to an end, but the program sponsors several 5K walks and runs for special events.
Students have three chances to run, walk or volunteer after Dog Days ends: Red Dog Run for the Boys and Girls Club on Aug. 8, Small Town Big Cause of Baldwin City on Aug. 28, and Small Town Big Cause of Eudora on Sept. 25.
The Small Town Big Cause 5K run/ walks are put on by Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
"We wanted to do something kind of health and fitness related, and we want the community to be healthy." Melissa Hess, development specialist for the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Endowment Association, said.
Students can run in these events as individuals or as a team. Hess said the endowment was trying to find more ways for students to be involved in the races.
"I love that there are scheduled runs for people in the area, and it is fun to run with my friends." Conwell said.
Hess said they would give out a prize for the largest group of students that participate in the 5K.
"He has helped us in planning the 5K walks," she said. "He is very involved with keeping the community healthy."
The Small Town Big Cause 5k run/walks have a $25 entry fee. Hess said tstudents who aren't interested in running could volunteer instead by helping with a number of different things, such as organizing the event and assisting people at the finish line or water stops.
Shannon Conwell, a junior from Topeka, said she's ran the 5K races every year since attending the University.
"Sororities, fraternities, clubs, roommates — any group that wants to participate can compete for the prize." Hess said.
Hess said Don "Red Dog" Gardner, one of the Dog Days founders, had always been a friend to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Gardner and Lawrence Memorial Hospital host the events to keep the community and students healthy.
"We want to keep people out of the hospital and we love when students get involved," Hess said. "This is their community hospital while they are in school and we want to keep them healthy too."

Two KU professors are researching and adventuring abroad thanks to the Fulbright Scholar Grant.
The goal of the grant program is to increase understanding between the United States and people in other countries. Since the program's introduction in 1951,287 KU faculty members have received the grant. This year, it's Majid Hannoum's and John Kennedy's turn.
PETER RUSSELL
MAJID HANNOUM
Sub-Saharan Africans and Moroccan children are risking death
to cross the border to immigrate to Spain, said Majid Hannoum, an assistant professor of anthropology. Hannoum is returning to Morocco, where he was born, to continue research he hopes will tell
the stories of these young people to improve their situations. Hannoun said the young immigrants often exchanged one hell for another.
The story behind the research
Hannoum's inspiration to become a writer stems from childhood memories of growing up in a Moroccan neighborhood where storytelling was
common, he said.
Hannoum said he first wanted to write fiction, but graduate school changed that. His focus went from writing for fiction to writing for research.
"I don't write fiction, but I do write and I do write stories. Research is a form of storytelling."
grants who try to cross into Europe reveal why they want to emigrate, the expectations upon them and the conditions they must endure, Hannoum said.
Interviews with young immi
"I hope that my research will tell the stories of these new 'wretched of the earth' so that proper attention will be paid to their pleas"
Hannoum's research in Morocco,
which is located on the northwest coast of Africa, will also examine how the important city of Tangier, a gate between Europe and Africa, changes as a result of the emigration, he said.
This research project has a connection to Hannoum's childhood because it involves a place he once called home. But every research
project has special meaning to him, he said.
"It's like the experience of having a child," he said. Each research I conducted is memorable to me, from the time I hesitate about the topic, to the time it gets published."
JOHN KENNEDY
The saying "you are what you eat" is what John Kennedy, an associate professor of political science, will research when he returns to Xi'an, China, to continue a project that compares the difference in nutrition provided to the children in 75 urban and rural schools and how it affects education. China is currently focused on building more schools, Kennedy said, but he hopes to shed some light on the need for better nutrition standards in rural schools.
The story behind the research
Twenty-eight-year-old carpenter John Kennedy was working in a cabinet shop and became friends with a Chinese co-worker.
It was 1989 and Kennedy and his friend discussed the major protests breaking out in China. Kennedy said that was when he started to become interested in the language and the politics of China.
Kelly has been back and forth to China at least twice a year for the past 15 years, with the exception of a break when his daughter was born. His wife was born in China and some of his best friends are there, he said.

Aside from his friends, Kennedy enjoys China's diverse selection of food, the hundreds of people that gather outside to ballroom dance and the groups of 15 old men looming over his shoulder as he plays chess at the park.
With the help of the Fulbright Scholarship Grant, Kelly said, his family is going with him to China this time. His daughter will attend Chinese kindergarten.
"Building schools looks great for local leaders, but the idea is to take the money it would for that one new school, and use it to help 500 schools," he said.

Drink and ride: new business brings party bike to Lawrence
pedal hopper
Pedal Hopper owner Luke Stone test runs his 16-person party bike around town. Patrons ride the bike—the 14th of its kind in the country—around town to bar hop and enjoy the Lawrence scenery.

At $32,000, it's the most expensive bike in Lawrence.
But it's also the biggest.
The new Pedal Hopper seats 16 people. Ten of those people have to pedal, but all of them can experience the newest local transportation for bar crawls, tailgating, or even just a ride through Lawrence's historic hot spots.
Owner Luke Stone said he opened his business last week in Lawrence because the city's culture was perfect for it.
"Lawrence is full of a bunch of fun characters that would like this kind of activity," he said. "It has an eclectic group of all sorts of people."
Lawrence is the fifth town in the country to have a Pedal Hopper. Stone got the idea for the business from a relative who owns six of the bikes in Minneapolis. There are only 14 in the entire country.
"My uncle gave me a brochure last year during dinner at Christmas," he said. "I realized it was the perfect thing for Lawrence, so I proposed the idea of running one here, and all five commissioners said aye."
City Commissioner Robert Chestnut said he appreciated the entrepreneurial spirit of the Pedal Hopper and that anything that created flavor for downtown was a good thing.
"I think it's a great idea," he said.
"I hope he's successful."
Stone had the bike shipped from Holland to New Jersey and then delivered to his house by a semi truck.
He said he already had many routes down, including a historic tour and bar crawls to west Lawrence and downtown, although at the moment he wasn't allowed to ride down Massachusetts Street. He said the city was concerned he would hold up traffic because the bike only goes five miles per hour uphill and 15 miles per hour downhill. Stone said he would look at

changing that condition soon.
The Pedal Hopper is rented hourly, and at least four people are needed to ride it. Right now, no alcohol can be consumed while riding the bike. Stone said he would like to be able to offer beer and wine eventually, but that he would wait a year to show the city that he could abide by driving laws and that his business was not solely dependent on alcohol.
Stone said his main market was college students, and he expected the fall and spring semesters to be busy for him.
Though some people might be hesitant to ride a bike during a bar crawl. Stone said it wasn't that bad.
Stone has been taking the bike for a spin often in the past week because that's the best way he can promote it — it's pretty difficult to explain to someone, he said.
"You got a whole team of people helping you pedal," he said. "You can sit and free-wheel and let your friends pedal and wait for them to yell at you."
Andrew Mitchell, a former KU student, has already been on a cruise around Lawrence on the Pedal Hopper.
"I've had literally hundreds of people running after it, asking me for brochures," he said.
He said he and his friends went
wherever they wanted to go and that it was a completely unique experience.
"It was a lot more fun than I was
expecting," he said. "Even though you can't drink on it, it's a good way to get your friends together."

Study shows connection between heartache and addiction despite some dispute
BY MEGAN RUPP

Lawrence resident Hillary Leiker and her boyfriend Shay Choudhury have been dating on and off for four years. Each time they broke up, she said she never wanted to completely end communication with him because she never stopped caring about him.
"I tried to hate him just to get over it, but it never worked out that way," Leiker said. "I knew I could never live without him. I could spend every day with him and never get sick of it. We'd probably get on each other's nerves, but I wouldn't mind it at all."
Leiker's desire to be around Choudhury may have a deep-rooted psychological foundation, according to new research that suggests that a

The study, conducted by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York and published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, used a functional MRI scanner to examine the brain activity of subjects who had recently experienced romantic rejection. Fifteen college-aged adults who still had feelings for long-term partners were examined while looking at photos of their exes, then neutral images.
The familiar images triggered specific areas of the brain including the ventral tegmental area, which is related to motivation, reward and feelings of romantic love; the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex, related to craving and addiction; and the insular cortex and the anterior cingulate, related to physical pain and distress.
"Romantic love,under both happy
and unhappy circumstances, may be a natural addiction," Lucy Brown, professor of neuroscience and neurology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, said in a press release for the college. "Our

findings suggest the pain of romantic rejection may be a necessary part of life that nature built into our anatomy and physiology. A natural recovery, to pair up with someone else, is in our physiology, too."

if the pain associated with break-up revealed similar brain activation patterns to pain associated with withdrawal, but it was still a far stretch to call love an addiction and break-up
like withdrawal.
Jeffery Hall, assistant professor of communications studies, said going through a break-up could elicit very strong emotions and it made sense that the body and brain would react. He said to recover emotionally, it was important to establish a boundary and stick by it.
"The problem is that people tend to think that they're being clear about what they're saying when they say 'I don't want to talk to you,' but then they try to have a conversation, text message, or keep in contact with that person, which sends very unclear messages," Hall said.
Hall said that on-again-off-again
relationships were very common in college communities, and that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"The reason we get back together with somebody and the reason we have a hard time breaking up with them is that the security, comfort and familiarity that that relationship

"Romantic love, under both happy and unhappy circumstances, may be a natural addiction."
Sarah Kirk, director of the KU Psychological Clinic, said that spending time with your social support network was of the most importance in order to move on. Kirk said some people were able to maintain healthy friendships with their exes, but others engaging in negative interactions need to be aware that they should stop
communicating with the person altogether.
"One thing we hear a lot from students is that even though there's a break-up, with today's technology, they still continue to track them
through Facebook or continue to text back and forth," Kirk said. "If you continue to engage with that person, it might prolong some of those negative feelings rather than setting the limit that you're not going to receive text messages from each other any more."

ACADEMICS
Students compile undergraduate research journal
BY JANENE GIER jgier@kansan.com
In its first two publications, the Journal of Undergraduate Research published findings on everything from witch hangings to cockroach allergies to breast cancer to generic versus name-brand buying habits. The journal, which is accepting applications through Oct. 1, is now preparing for its third publication.
Founded in 2008 by a few ambitious KU undergraduates, the goal of the peer-reviewed and primarily student-run journal is to encourage undergraduate students to get involved in research for publication and publish their findings, said Christopher Haufler, who is leading its publication this year.
"This is genuine research, not a book report," said Haufler, a chairman and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. "It is actual new knowledge that is being generated by undergraduate students."
The best thing about the
journal is that students can engage in the research and realize it's actually fun, interesting and exciting to be a part of, said Mike Vitevitch, who is managing the production of the journal this year.
"They have a better understanding of what goes on and how findings come about than when they read it in a newspaper or a book," Vitevitch, an associate professor of psychology, said.
The journal can lead to recognition outside of the University, as some students have had their research from it published in other professional journals, Vitevitch said.
One recent KU graduate, Patrick Selley, was involved in a group research project that studied the role of fucose, a type of sugar, in early cancer detection. Selley and the four members of his group had results published in the Fall 2009 edition of the journal.
"It's great to see recognition of students' work beyond the grade they get in a class." Selley said.
He enjoyed the whole process he said, from the creation of the experiments with his group, to the excitement in sharing the results in front of the faculty.
"Instead of doing regimented experiments out of a textbook, we were able to do actual science." Selley said.
The journal welcomes and publishes a diversity of subjects, Haufler said, covering anthropology, psychology, literature, business, biology, chemistry and more.
Whether a student gets involved in the publishing, editing, research or review sides of this journal, it will be useful down the road, said alumnus Ryan Ellis, co-founder and former editor of the journal.
"Beyond being a resume filler, you're putting together a publication. You go class to class, soliciting. You're working with a publisher for print layout," Ellis said. "The organizational skills you acquire are great."
After the journal is published it's

sent to 400 high schools in Kansas to give the students a sense of the things that go on at the University, Hafler said. Although the print edition won't be available to everyone for free, alumni, prospective students and their parents, faculty and current students will have access to the online version.
Publication of the journal is projected for some time near the end of 2010, in November or December, Vitevitch said, though they were not yet sure when it would be available online.

Tis the season for moving out. and here's how to get it done
BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com
Moving can be an overwhelming time for anyone. July and August are peak moving months in Lawrence and the summerheat doesn't help matters.
Andrew Noyes, a recent graduate from Wichita said moving in July was more painful than in other months.
"We planned on doing it earlier when it was 75 degrees and nice," Noyes said. "But it turned out when we moved it was 97 and humid that day, which made it a lot worse."
For students who need to get rid of their belongings,the city provides multiple services for recycling unwanted goods that may make the transition easier. Megan Gilliland communications manager for the City of Lawrence, explains five simple ways to make moving out a smoother process.
Ryan Waqqoner/KANSAN
1. START, STOP OR TRANSFER UTILITY SERVICES ONLINE
Many residents have chosen to take advantage of the convenience of online services. Last year online activity increased from 405 transactions in June to 1,384 in July, revealing later summer months as peak moving time Gilliland said. To manage your water services go to www.lawrenceks.org/utility_billing/.
2. RECYCLE ELECTRONIC GOODS
The city will hold the Lawrence
Electronic Recycling Event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. October 23 at Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive. Gilliland encouraged residents to take advantage of the opportunity to recycle old computers, printers, stereos, microwaves and other used electronics. There is a $10 charge to recycle computer monitors and a $15 fee for televisions. All other goods are free.
"It's pretty popular because it's an easy way to get rid of otherwise cumbersome things like couches
3. HAVE BULKY ITEMS PICKED UP
and TVs," Gilliland said. The best option for large items that are no longer usable is to call Solid Waste at (785) 832-3030.
4. HOLD A MOVING SALE OR DONATE TO CHARITIES
Usable goods do not need to be thrown away in the mayhem of moving. If you don't have the time to hold a moving sale, or if you have items left over, you can donate to various charities in Lawrence. The Salvation Army Thrift Store, 1601 W. 23rd St., accepts clothing, rugs, bedding, pillows and other
small goods. Call (785) 856-1115 to donate.
Tina Hernandez, manager of the thrift store, said the store would be happy to take anything except baby items.
"We haven't seen too many students. We're still trying to get our store out there and noticed by them," Hernandez said. "But overall this is still one of the best times of year for us because it's garage sale season, so we see a lot of that overflow coming in, which is very helpful."
Friends of the Lawrence Public Library also accepts donations of
gently used books, CDs or videos. Call Friends coordinator Ruth DeWitt at (785) 843-3833 to donate.
5. BICYCLE DONATIONS
Unwanted bicycles can be dropped off at the Street Maintenance Division, 1120 Haskell Avenue, between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Call (855) 832-3031.
Donating used bicycles can be helpful during move-out time, but it also serves a greater purpose. Gilliland said that once about 50 bikes have been collected, they are moved to Lansing Correctional Facility.

Each year Lawrence residents donate 100 or more bicycles to the program, Gilliland said.

PROFILE
Making it big from KU hill to hills of L.A.
BY CARLO RAMIREZ
cramirez@kansan.com
Mike Quick's mind can't stop running. He is a creative writing major and inspiration is all around him. He has to finish a script but needs just the right scene. He leans back and draws from personal history and experience.
"I believe you can only write about what you know." Quick, a senior from Chicago, said.
So Mike does exactly that, drawing from a melting pot of ideas and separate stories from different people to conjure a script of what he hopes will be considered genius.
Quick discovered his passion for writing while interning in the summer of 2008 for a Los Angeles-based literary management agency called Kaplan Perron Entertainment. The company represents multiple writers and pitches their work to different studios. He credits Aaron Kaplan, co-owner of the company and the man who gave Quick the opportunity to intern at his office in Los Angeles, as his biggest influence.
He said the experience there was invaluable.
"I knew working for a star like J-Lo would expose me to so many different projects."
"It was an incredible experience because it exposed me to what comedy or drama or suspense looks like on page and how it is most effectively conveyed," Quick said. "I read four scripts a day and would take scripts home
he was invited to Los Angeles for a face-to-face interview. The job was perfect, Quick said, and whoever was chosen would have the opportunity to work for an A-list celebrity. The applicants were not told which A-lister they would be working for until they were hired. Mike returned to Chicago and eventually was called and invited to intern for Jennifer Lopez in 2009.
with me because I enjoyed reading screenplays and they benefited me greatly."
When looking for his next internship, Mike responded to a post on a Web forum for "aspiring industry professionals." Based on his resume,
MIKE QUICK Chicago senior
"I knew working for a star like J-Lo
would expose me to so many different projects," he said.
Quick got his wish and was able to read every project sent to J-Lo. He said many of the scripts he read were good and a
few are expected to be released as movies in the near future.
"A lot of writers come from USC, UCLA, and NYU,but I feel that my different perspective coming from KU will help distinguish me and my style."
The internship with J-Lo gave Mike a sneak peak on just how the industry works.
"It made me recognize the high level of professionalism that goes on in order to produce a script," Quick said. "There are just so many people who must read the same script and collaborate with one another."
Along with reading scripts, Mike

such as "Modern Family."
was in charge of answering and "rolling" calls sending them to cell phones when someone was out of the office.
The opportunity to work a coveted internship position has given Quick all the motivation he needs. Every day, he spends at least two hours locked away in his apartment writing and he can rarely can be found without a pen and pad for ideas. He is currently writing a spec — a sample episode — for the NBC show "Community." He said he hopes this will pave the way for opportunities with other comedies,
After he graduates in December, Quick will pack his bags and head to Los Angeles. He intends to work as a production assistant on a television series while working on his portfolio and writing samples. If that doesn't work, he said he planned to do work similar to what he did as an intern.
His ultimate goal is to be a writer on a network sitcom, where he'd work with eight or more writers sitting around a table, collaborating and then breaking into smaller groups to write particular scenes. There is no doubt Mike will be competing against some of the best writers in the industry to make a name for himself, but he has a quiet confidence.
"I have a sketch comedy background and improv, collaborative work," Quick said. "A lot of writers come from USC, UCLA, and NYU, but I feel that my different perspective coming from KU will help distinguish me and my style."

San Fran's a big fan of Jayhawks
Michael Lee joins two other Kansas alumni on USF coaching staff
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Lee's Kansas career is most remembered for the three-point attempt blocked by Hakim Warrick and his 7-foot-2 wingspan at the end of the 2003 national title game, but his connection to the program goes well beyond that. A four-year letterman, Lee played under
Kansas has a well-documented history of stellar basketball coaches. From James Naismith, who invented the game, to Larry Brown, who is the only coach to win a college championship and an NBA title, to Bill Self, who has the highest winning percentage in University history, the Jayhawks have played under some of the greats of the coaching profession.
The University of San Francisco has taken note.
Lee's hiring makes him the third coach with direct ties to Kansas on a four-man staff. Justin Bauman, who was promoted to assistant coach earlier this off-season, spent six years with the Kansas program. He was a manager under Roy Williams from 2000-2003 and was head manager and student assistant coach from 2003-2006 under Bill Self.
The Dons' second-year head coach Rex Walters played under Roy Williams at Kansas, graduating in 1993, and is stocking his coaching staff full of former Jayhawks. Walters hired former Jayhawk guard Michael Lee as an assistant coach on July 19.
"Coach Lee is someone I have known for a long time from our time at Kansas and I have continued to follow him as a professional player and then as an assistant coach at Gardner-Webb," Walters said.

"Coach Lee adds instant credibility with our student athletes in terms of player development and from the team success that he experienced at Kansas," Walters said.
Lee said he was excited to go to work for a coach who had firsthand experience with the same winning tradition he had.
"It is a privilege to work under Coach Walters," Lee said. "He is truly a competitor, as am I, and this decision was a no-brainer for me."
Walters said the winning tradition he experienced at Kansas was something he hoped he could build on. With three coaches with heavy exposure to a program like that, he hopes to speed the transition for the Dons, who went 12-18 last year and missed out on the postseason.
Bauman, like Lee, was at Kansas for the transition from the Williams to the Self eras.

Big 12's best quarterback not fazed by label, high expectations
10
Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson answers reporters' questions during a news conference at the Big 12 Football Media Day Monday in Irving, Texas.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY SCHUYLER DIXON
Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson bears no burden under the label of best in the Big 12, even if his predecessors were Heisman Trophy winners, high NFL draft picks or both.
He's not even afraid to call himself the best quarterback in the nation going into the 2010 season. He figures if he does end up being that good, he will accomplish the only thing he cares about — winning.
"My biggest goal is just to leave a winning legacy," Johnson said Monday at Big 12 media days. "As far as being a guy that lives in Texas and my dad playing for A&M, just leave a lasting impression at Texas A&M. And I think the best way to do that is to win games."
The Big 12 total offense leader last year, Johnson put a late-season scare in the Texas Longhorns on their way to the BCS championship game. But the Aggies finished with a losing record for the second year in a row after getting blown out by Georgia in the Independence Bowl.
Johnson passed for 3,579 yards and was second among Big 12 quarterbacks with 506 rushing yards — numbers solid enough to make him the preseason offensive player of the year pick by Big 12 media. He's in a spotlight filled last year
by Oklahoma's Sam Bradford and Texas' Colt McCoy. He believes stats didn't set his former opponents apart. Winning did.
"I think that I shouldn't deserve the award if I'm not winning games," said Johnson, whose father,
Larry Johnson, played receiver and defensive back for the Aggies in the 1970s. "Wins are 70 to 30 more important than play. If you can get a win by throwing two passes per game, I think that's a huge deal."
"I won't worry about the 70 percent, but I think it's along the lines of you play well and if you look back and you've completed 70 percent, then our goals should be accomplished."
EYES ON TEXAS
Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman did set one specific number for his quarterback: a 70 percent completion rate. Johnson finished just shy of 60 percent last year, but news of that number didn't phase him.
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said he "wasn't real happy" about the phrase "Beat Texas" being used in a school-produced video promoting the Oct. 16 home game against the Longhorns as the annual "red out" game.

Tensions will be high that Saturday in Lincoln, Neb., because the Cornhuskers lost to the Longhorns on a game-ending field goal in the Big 12 championship game when officials added 1 second after the clock expired.
The Texas reference has since been removed, and Pelini and the players who joined him for media day spent most of their time reminding everyone that Nebraska plays five games before Texas comes to town.
"We have a lot of things to do before we even consider Texas or worry about that football game," said Pelini, who said he was unaware of the video when first asked about it because he was on vacation.
The players said the dramatic finish against Texas made it easy to come up with an offseason theme: Finish.
GRIFFIN WATCH
"We're not pinpointing Texas, but just to come up one second short means that we didn't finish the game ourselves," said defensive end Pierre Allen. "Everything we did this summer, whether it was running or lifting, everything we did was finishing."
Baylor coach Art Briles opted not to bring star quarterback Robert Griffin III to Big 12 media days. That didn't stop anyone from asking about the sophomore who is coming off a major right knee injury that sidelined him most of last season.
Griffin's injury helped push Baylor back to the bottom of the Big 12 when the Bears were thinking they might be headed to their first bowl game since 1994.
Briles said Griffin was healthy and "in great shape," but he reserved judgment for the first time Griffin tests his knee in a game.
"When you get something taken away from you, you respond two different ways." Briles said. "You pout, complain, sulk, cry, and fall into a shell, or you fight, you grind, you have vision, you have hope, and you work harder than you've ever worked in your life. That's what Robert has done, and that's what we knew he would do."

FOOTBALL MEDIA DAYS
Future is focus for Big 12
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
The Jayhawks and head coach Turner Gill will be first at the podium today in the final day of Big 12 Football Media Days.
This is the first media availability of the new-look Jayhawks, with expected appearances from senior defensive end Jake Laptad, cornerback Chris Harris and offensive tackle Brad Thorson.
Oklahoma, Colorado and Texas will finish out the three-day media event.
The media days are the introduction to every conference team, previewing the season, reviewing the summer and this year, talking realignment.
First at the podium on Tuesday, day two of Media Days, was Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel. Missouri had talked about leaving the conference back in December, but Pinkel said he knew as much as everybody else about the whole realignment issues.
"I was out of the loop," he said. "I was kind of like you, sitting around to see what was going to happen."
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said he had always been pro-Big 12. The bulk of his recruits come from Texas and Oklahoma and playing in the Big 12 makes it easy for friends and family to see them play.
Now with the round-robin schedule the Big 12 will have in 2011, teams play everybody each year, guaranteeing four trips to Texas and two to Oklahoma.
"If you're going to have a true conference champion," Gundy said, "I think everybody needs to play each other."
Of course, that leads into bowl eligibility issues.
"I think that the bowls will understand that and take into consideration the strength of schedule," Gundy said. "It's not going to be as easy getting nine and 10 wins."
Kansas State coach B仔 Snyder said he wanted two divisions and to retain the championship game.
"If you go into and survive the championship game, 70 percent of the time you're going to play for a national championship and that makes that pretty special."
But in keeping 10 teams, Kansas State would have its depth issues magnified by playing Texas and Texas Tech every year.
"The Big 12 is tough enough as it is" Snvder said.
Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville joked about being reprimanded by the Big 12 for an interview in which he said less-than-positive things about the conference's future.
"In television, they told us to speak our mind," he said. "I forgot to get that out of mind a few weeks ago."
He seemed more optimistic about the future of the conference than before. He said after getting to know other coaches and athletic directors, there would be a proactive approach to making the Big 12 a success.
"We want to be an all-around conference," Tuberville said, "and we will be because the teams that are still with us are very dedicated and committed to that."

Short-footed Wizards shock Manchester
BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com
The Kansas City Wizards made history by upsetting English Premier League power house Manchester United 2-1 Sunday in front of 52,424 fans — and did so with a man down for the majority of the game.
The Wizards established themselves early when team captain Davy Anraud made a run behind United's defense and was met by a pass from teammate Kei Makara for the game's first goal in the 11th minute. The Wizards, enthused by the energetic home crowd, kept pressuring United and did not let up the intensity.
In the 39th minute, United's Ryan Giggs sent a through ball between the Wizards' back line defenders to forward Dimitar Berbatov for what would had been the equalizing goal, but Berbatov was taken out by Wizards defender Jimmy Conrad. The referee wasted no time showing Conrad a red card. The result of the foul was a game-tying goal scored by Berbatov on the penalty kick.
The crowd saw nothing wrong with the foul and pelted the referee with boos for his decision to eject Conrad.

The Wizards had only 10 men to United's 11 world-class players, but it didn't affect the outcome of the game — thanks in large part to the Wizard's substitute goal keeper Eric Kronberg, who denied any United player who tried to spoil the Wizards'

The final whistle blew and it was official: Major League Soccer's Kansas City Wizards, currently fifth in the Eastern Conference, handed Manchester United its first loss on its North American tour.
United's legendary head coach
Alex Ferguson said in a news release that he was very impressed by the Wizards' athletic play and saw great potential for years to come.
"When we came here the last time, it wasn't nearly as big as it is today," Ferguson said. "So there is a general improvement, but there are big strides to make. I think 10 years from now you'll see better results."

Buckeyes to visit Fieldhouse in 2011
The Jayhawk men's basketball team has scheduled a marquee home-and-home series starting in the 2011-2012 season, taking on Thad Matta's Ohio State Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes — Big Ten champions in 2010 — will visit Lawrence in 2011 and the Jayhawks will return the trip the next season.
The game will pit two of college basketball's greatest coaches against each other. Ohio State has been stellar under Matta, who has a 156-54 record and an NCAA Tournament runner-up since taking over at the school in 2004.In his decade as a head coach at Butler and Xavier before Ohio State — Matta has made nine NCAA tournaments and won the NIT the one year that he missed.
The 2011 game will add to an already loaded non-conference schedule for the Jayhawks. They have a visit to the University of Southern California scheduled and will also play in the Maui Invitational in Maui, Hawaii.
— Tim Dwyer
Bill Self has been even better at Kansas, with a 202-43 record and an NCAA title.

Garza pitches first nohitter in Rays history
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Matt Garza insists the first no-hitter in Tampa Bay history and the fifth in the major leagues this season isn't the most satisfying moment of his career.
That, Garza said Monday night after facing the minimum 27 batters to beat the Detroit Tigers 5-0, came during an MVP performance as the winning pitcher in Game 7 of the 2008 AL championship series.
"It's not even close to that feeling. Shoot, we went to the World Series," he said after the Rays finally wound up on the right side of a memorable pitching performance.
"I'm a big team athlete. Anything that gets us to the next level is what I'll do. We win — we all win, and I win.Tonight was just about these guys. They played great defense. They hit when they had to. If they weren't there, I wouldn't be in here."

Recreation center adding new fall programs, classes
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
The Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center is changing the way students exercise.
The recreation center will offer new programs this fall, including small group training and new KU fit classes.
The small group training program offers a personal trainer for three to six friends. Each session is $8 per person, either in a four-week or an eight-week plan where the groups meet twice a week.
Amber Long, assistant fitness director at the recreation center, said sharing one personal trainer could be beneficial for college students.
"I know individual sessions can get kind of pricey," she said. "This is really economical."
Besides the money, David Wilson, a junior from Lawrence and personal training program manager at the rec center, said this program helps people push harder during their workouts.
Wilson said. Having friends around takes the pressure off. Lauren Webb, program manager for KU Fit, said
"You try harder because you don't want to slack off in front of your friends."

"It gives students a reason to be accountable," he said. "You try harder because you don't want to slack off in front of your friends."
Also, some rec center visitors don't want to be seen with trainers alone.
the rec center is trying to emphasize group exercise because it helps keep people motivated.
"Knowing other people are going to be there and expecting you to show up helps you solidify those habits of coming to the gym," she said.
KU Fit will also add three new ways to workout with friends with its new classes. Hard Core will focus on core muscle training; Triple Fit combines cardio kickboxing, glide training and yoga; Fusion mixes
yoga, pilates and some Tai Chi.
Classes are free during the first week of the fall semester. After that, a semester pass is $50, a half-semester is $25 and an individual class is $3.
Popular classes like Boot Camp Challenge and Shimmy will also return this fall.
Students and faculty can go to the fitness studio and try any program they want for 20 minutes at a time next month during the rec center's Rock the Rec. The event, from 6 to 9 p.m. Aug.19, is free to attend, giving visitors a taste of what classes or programs they may be interested in.
"If they can come, have fun, and enjoy it while being physically active, I say that's a great thing," Webb said.

GAME DAY
Oread tailgating events approved for now
BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com
The Oread hotel has one chance to establish its new tailgate program.
City Commissioners voted Jul. 20 to allow the new tailgate proposal for the first Kansas football game on Sept. 4. It will then be subject to automatic review by the commission the following Tuesday.
Tim Homburg, part of NSPI Architects, said he was fine with the decision.
"I think it fits perfectly with the concept initially," he said. "Nothing was set in stone."
The parties will begin three hours before football games and last one hour after the games.
The new proposal keeps Oread Avenue and 12th Street open to traffic. The public sidewalk along 12th and Indiana streets near The Oread will be temporarily fenced in for alcohol on game days.
An area for children will be located on the west side of Oread Avenue.
taking over the parallel parking spots along the street.
The commission said the new plan was better than the previous one, but there were still a couple of concerns.
"This is definitely a lot different since the last time you were here," City Commissioner Mike Dever said as the commission passed the proposal 3-2.
The congestion where the fence meets 12th Street could be hazardous, Mayor Mike Amyx said. Also, access to the streets on an already congested game day may be limited.
Residents of the surrounding neighborhood said they liked the proposal because The Oread would be in charge of cleaning it up. The homeowners usually do game-day cleanup themselves.
Representatives from The Oread said they planned to regulate alcohol consumption with wristbands and security monitoring the fenced areas. The same method worked during the Tour of Lawrence bicycle race, they said.

Jayhawks play just for kicks
Overland Park hosted the U.S. National Women's Under 23 Cup July 23-24 at the Overland Park Soccer Complex, Kansas junior forward Emily Cressy played with the Eagles Soccer Club from southern California. The Eagles defeated the Arizona Rush 2-1 on Sunday.
Cressy assisted teammate Lindsay Bullock with her game-winning goal. Cressy scored three goals throughout the tournament weekend.
Two other Jayhawks, senior midfielder Erin Ellefson and sophomore forward Whitney Berry, played for the Arizona Rush in the championship game.
Junior forward Emily Cressy celebrates with a teammate after assisting her with the game winning goal in the U.S. National Women's Under 23 Cup. "I was so excited to be able to contribute a play that big in the championship game when it was tied," Cressy said. "I just wanted to score or someone on my team my team to score to win when it was tied. Almost the whole game it was getting nerve-racking, but when we scored it was just a great feeling."
