BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com The panorama exhibit, in the Natural History Musuem, has a big secret: behind its mountain backdrop lies a 5-by-10 foot cave, filled with the signatures of past employees. The cave, which Visitor Services Director Tristan Smith calls one of the best-kept secrets on campus, started out as a support structure for the Panorama and existed even before Dyche Hall was built. The signature tradition came soon after the museums completion. It was started by a student who helped build the exhibit, almost like a painter putting his signature at the bottom of his canvas. Smith said. Since then, Smith said he thought that employees who have put their personal marks on the wall have felt a certain kinship with Dyche or with the museum itself. "Each person brings to it their own connection," Smith said. "Whether it's that you've done something to improve the museum or you just have a connection with the place." But employees have to wait until they FAST FACTS: PANORAMA EXHIBIT - Began as display at 1893 Chicago World's Fair - Created by Lewis Dyche, KU graduate and professor - Filled with stuffed North American animals - Specimens gathered over 20-year period - At fair, Dyche hid in cave at night to guard collection - 1902: Natural History Musuem built for growing taxidermy collection - 1903-1908: Panorama and cave installed in Dyche Hall Source: http://naturalhistory.ku.edu/ To see some of the cave's signatures, visit kansan.com/galleries. OBITUARY KU grad proved it's not the years in life, but life in years BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR montemayor@kansan.com A little more than three months after becoming the first in her family to graduate college, an accomplishment earned while battling a rare form of cancer, Jessica Nicole Roark of Meriden died on Aug. 22. The University announced Roark's death on Tuesday in a press release. Services are scheduled for 7 p.m. this Thursday in the Lawrence Funeral Chapel, 3821 W. Sixth St. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in the release, "Nearly all who came in touch with Jessica while she was a student here remember her as inspirational for her spirit of optimism, for her love of life and for her Roark promise as a young environmental scientist. Our hearts and prayers Daughter of John Roark of Meriden and Charlena Eckert of North Kansas City, Mo., Roark graduated with bachelor's degree in civil engineering this summer after completing a bachelor's in environmental studies in 2009. Roark also received offers to enter doctoral programs at Purdue University and Arizona State University. are with her family and friends." Roark was diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma during her sophomore year at the University. The cancer occurs in After surgeons removed her right eye and a tumor in spring 2007, Roark added chemotherapy, radiation treatments and checkups to her course load. Roark also worked part-time in KU's Office of Environment, Health and Safety. In 2008, she studied at the University of Hong Kong. salivary glands, but can appear anywhere in the body and often recurs. Researchers have been unable to pinpoint strong genetic or environmental risk factors for the disease. In a May 13 news release from the University, Roark recalled spending this past Valentine's Day in the hospital after surgery on a new tumor along the right of her jaw. Her smile was halved and another round of radiation followed in April at the University of Iowa.

McEnroe recalled a STUDENT SENATE Senators question funding in future BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com The Student Executive Committee illicitly removed a rule from rules and regulations that required senators submit event review sheets, one-page surveys used to evaluate events funded by Student Senate. Chief of Staff Aaron Dollinger said the removal was an accident that occurred while reviewing rules and regulations with University Governance during the summer. He said the missing rule would be put back in rules and regulations immediately. "It is my responsibility to ensure the accuracy of rules and regulations, and this mistake is unacceptable," Dollinger, a senior from Leawood, said. It was not an accident, however, that Senate's outreach policy no longer requires senators to submit event review sheets as last year's policy did. Communications Director Ian McGonigle, a junior from Wichita, wrote the new outreach policy and said it would be effective with or without event review sheets. He said he was unfamiliar with their previous use. But not all senators are completely sold by the new policy. Devon Cantwell, multicultural affairs committee chair, said event review sheets were an important part of the previous outreach policy that contributed to accountability within Senate. Event review sheets provide information used to determine the success of an event and whether the approved funding was the appropriate amount. Cantwell, a junior from Topeka, said such information would be used to make better funding decisions in the future. "It was written in rules and regulations for a reason," she said. "It's kind of important for the longevity of our group, and for the stability of our financial resources to be able to go back through and figure out information like that." Senate allocated more than $27,000 — 23 percent of its unallocated account budget — for events hosted by student groups last school year. Twenty groups received amounts ranging from $50 for International Awareness Week to more than $5,000 for a guest speaker. "With that much money going out through allocation, I feel like we should probably be in attendance at some of these events," Cantwell said. StudEx approved the new outreach policy during the summer. The rule removed from rules and regulations required a group's legislative sponsor to ensure the submission of a review sheet within seven days after an event took place.

The images show Cuba's 84-year-old former leader with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic and Julia E. Sweig from the Council on Foreign Relations during a visit Monday to the Havana aquarium — Castro's second trip there during a media blitz that has seen him making near daily appearances. Goldberg is a national correspondent for the magazine who has written on the Middle East and Iran. State media reported that he and Sweig interviewed Castro, but gave no indication of what was said. For months, Castro has warned of nuclear war that would pit Washington and Israel against Iran and would also involve an attack on North Korea. He even said he expected fighting to begin earlier this summer, but has since said those doomsday predictions may have been somewhat premature. The Council on Foreign Relations is a nonpartisan think tank with offices in New York and Washington, and Sweig is a longtime scholar on the U.S.-Cuba relationship. Also Tuesday, Mexico's left-leaning daily La Jornada published an interview in which Castro said Cuban authorities had been wrong to send gays and lesbians to work camps in the early years of his government. "Those were moments of great injustice, great injustice!" the paper quoted Castro as saying. In the 1960s and early 1970s, Cuban officials fired homosexuals from state jobs, imprisoned them or sent them to work camps. Castro told La Jornada. "Yes, we did it, us," but also said, "I am trying to limit my responsibility in all this because, of course, I personally do not hold those kinds of prejudices." Still, when pressed if the Communist Party or some other entity was behind what occurred Castro said, "No, if any person was behind it," responsible, it's me." He said he had been too busy coping with events such as the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis to stop what occurred. "We had so many Government media campaigns now discourage homophobia and the state has even paid for a few sex-change operations for trans-sexuals. Also, Fidel's niece Mariela, the daughter of President Raul Castro, is today the country's leading gay rights advocate. Castro's comments to La Jornada elaborated on past acknowledgments of his government's mistreatment of gays. "I'd like to think that discrimination against homosexuals is a problem that is being overcome," he said during interviews with French journalist Ignacio Ramonet between 2003 and 2005. "Old prejudices and narrow-mindedness will increasingly be things of the past."

I'm speaking, of course, about Silly Bandz. Last week, in my Television Studies class (that's right), we watched a Frontline documentary about how television markets to kids and teenagers. This made me think about the fleeting nature of popularity, particularly among the youngsters. Sure, at the time it may have seemed like Limp Bizkit would rule the world forever, but they faded into obscurity just as quickly as they entered the spotlight. Same goes with James van der Beek and Furby. The documentary was a decade old, and yet it was still highly relevant; nearly all of the techniques are still used today in order to capitalize on trends and create new ones. I first noticed the proliferation of Silly Bandz at my summer job. I work as a TA for a summer day camp, and it seemed as if every single kindergartener in my class had a wristful of these colorful rubber bands that, when laid flat. What really dated the documentary, however, were the things being marketed. Of all the music, television and film mentioned,the only act still relevant today is, improbably,the Insane Clown Posse. Under servation Under Observator I figured it was just a little kid trend until my high school sister told me her classmates loved them, too. She works at a large department store and said people would come in just to buy bags of Silly Bandz. Then, when I came back to Lawrence, I found that even college kids were getting in on the fun. One even had a Jayhawk Silly Band. took a particular shape. Name just about any noun and there's probably a Silly Band of it. BY ALEX NICHOLS Just from an economic standpoint, Silly Bandz are brilliant. A whole store's worth of silly bands probably costs about a dollar to make, and they are sold at what has to be an insane profit. A 24 pack can go for as high as $6. But what is particularly intriguing about Silly Bandz is just how simple the concept is. There's not really a flashy gimmick to them (other than the funky-fresh use of the plural "z"), which is what most kid trends seem to need to attract consumers. They don't talk. They don't tell you your mood. They don't encourage kids to train clearly sentient creatures to fight each other to the death. They're just bright, colorful rubber bands. It would be like if sticks or rubber balls or cardboard boxes suddenly became all the rage. They can also teach kids lessons. In trading Silly Bandz, kids may learn how to barter, negotiate and avoid being swindled. Also, in my very limited experience with Silly Bandz, I have found that it is incredibly easy for them to simply disappear from your wrist without you noticing them. From this, kids might develop a Buddhist appreciation for the beauty of impermanence and the impermanence of beauty. Or maybe they'll just buy some more. Silly Bandz are just fun enough to get kids interested while at the same time being passive enough to avoid over-exposure. Nobody is going to be annoyed by a few rubber bands resting innocently around your wrist. The only thing that could ruin Silly Bandz' unique shot at longevity is the development of a Silly Bandz media empire. We don't need a Silly Bandz cartoon with an gratingly catchy jingle. That being said, if a television executive feels that we do need such a cartoon, I am definitely available to write it. Nichols is a senior from Stilwell in creative writing. LAWRENCE Homeless shelter shows best and worst of Lawrence residents In June, the U.S. government called for an integration of services to better address homelessness. This has called more attention to homelessness at a national level. But in Lawrence, homelessness has been a highly visible issue for a long time. The Lawrence Community Shelter has been searching for a new building for four years. After a year of debates and delays by the county commission, along with one failed proposal, the commission finally gave approval for relocation at the end of July. The commission had already given permission for the shelter to raise its overnight capacity to 53, an increase from the original cap of 31 (though it was allowed to be raised to 76 during the winter), through September, according to The Lawrence Journal-World. This is still a very low number, considering the increasing numbers of homeless people in Lawrence, which gives clear rea son for a new, larger shelter. I cannot help but see a small amount of symbolism in the new location's proximity to the Douglas County Jail. This observation has been helped by the response I have seen from the community to the shelter seeking a new location. One of the reasons the relocation approval took so long was opposition brought by Lawrence residents. Based on the commentary, it appears to me that many people see homelessness as some sort of crime or wrongdoing. Despite the negative symbolism, I am supportive of the shelter's move. This is the best location the shelter leadership could find on top of all the criticism from the community. Unfortunately, no one wants the shelter in their backyard — or, rather, anywhere remotely near their neighborhood. The concerns are certainly real and understandable. But the numbers of homeless people are rising. The people who condemn homelessness tend to ignore that more and more families are losing their homes. On Aug.22, the Journal- World published an article about homeless children. It said that this year, there are 164 homeless students in Lawrence Public Schools. Imagine having to deal with homelessness in junior high. These are people just like you. Human Rights for All 11 BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansap.com The community spent more than a year arguing about the location of the new shelter instead of spending that time and effort trying to alleviate the problem. Those who have served our country deserve utmost respect and the best social services available; instead, many are forced to sleep in the streets. Who are we to judge them? Even the most celebrated citizens are subject to the degradation of homelessness. According to a 2009 article from the Journal-World, "Veterans make up about a quarter of the homeless population even though they only comprise 11 percent of the total population." Why were people so concerned that the problem be kept far away from their homes or businesses? They wanted the problem out of their minds and their lives. These arguments show the hardened hearts of many in the Lawrence community, a problem ram-nt across the country. And cheers to the students who volunteer at the Jubilee Café, do community service and participate in the Greek houses' philanthropy projects. Thankfully, there are still plenty of people who advocate for the homeless. We owe gratitude to those who work at the shelter, at the Salvation Army, at the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen and at the several other organizations that offer key services. For people who want to help but never quite find the time; donate to the Lawrence Community Shelter. For most of us, it is not a good enough excuse to be a "poor college student" when most of us (though not all) are better off than those forced out of their homes. Forgo your booze money for one weekend and give a few bucks to the shelter. Or, visit the website (lawrenceshelter.org) for a list of needed items.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Column on guns ignores facts I write in response to Braden Katz's ignorant piece about gun restrictions, from Aug. 27. The piece seems to endorse stricter gun legislation. What it fails to mention is that the most dangerous states and cities in America are those that have the most restrictive gun laws. Notably; the District of Columbia has extremely severe gun ownership restrictions, but extremely high violence rates. Across the river in Virginia, gun ownership laws are much more relaxed, but it is much safer to live there. The piece also leaves out Columbine High School and Virginia Tech University were both "gun free" zones. If someone wants to commit murder, they'll find a way to do it. The gun restrictions make it much easier for them. —Will Manly is a second year law student from Lakin. HOW TO SUBMIT A LETTER TO THE EDITOR Send letters to kananspodesk@gmail. com.

The LifeStar helicopter based at the Lawrence Municipal Airport must be ready to transfer an injured resident to a trauma center at a moment's notice. Last month the helicopter was dispatched to a bike accident near the intersection of Crestline Drive and Bob Billings Parkway. But an ambulance took the patient to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the helicopter flew back to base empty. Chelsey Derks, a junior from Olathe, said, "I've wondered where the money for the helicopter comes from. I see it flying around Lawrence and it just seems like we don't need a helicopter for such a small city" But, Hildenbrand said, insurance pays for most of it. LifeStar rarely ends up collecting more than half of the charge. LifeStar is a not-for-profit corporation owned by two Topeka hospitals. Greg Hildenbrand, the LifeStar executive director, said that if someone is transported in the helicopter, then that person is responsible for about $10,000. Hildenbrand said it is extremely expensive just to maintain the helicopter, not counting the cost of gas. He said one helicopter costs about $3 million to purchase. The helicopter does not take patients to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said Hildenbrand. which the helicopter is called to the scene of an accident and the patient is taken to a hospital with a trauma center. "It takes the helicopter about six or seven minutes to get off the ground and then it takes some time to get to the scene," Hildenbrand said. "If a patient is going to Lawrence Life Star Life Star flight paramedic Mark Larson shows where a patient lays inside of the helicopter. Life Star of Kansas has one helicopter it uses for medical emergencies. It has been serving Kansas since 1988. "It's very prestigious, everyone in the nursing field kind of looks up to this job." Because Lawrence Memorial Hospital does not have a trauma center and is not equipped to handle orthopedic or head injuries, patients with those injuries are sent to hospitals in Topeka or Kansas City. The helicopter will pick up patients within a 150-mile radius of Memorial then it is just faster to use a ground ambulance" BRIAN POPE LifeStar flight nurse its base. The helicopter flies two types of transfers. The first is an interhospital transfer in which a doctor calls for the helicopter and sends the patient to a different hospital. The second is a scene transfer in Kelsey Richardson/KANSAN Flight Nurse Brian Pope has worked for LifeStar since 1996, covering two 24-hour shifts a week. He said that about 70 percent of the calls he sees are inter-hospital transfers. In the case of last month's bike crash, the helicopter was called to the scene of the bike accident because the patient's injuries were thought to be worse than they were. Since the patient did not ride in the helicopter, he did not have to pay a fee, Pope said. Although Pope works a second job in the emergency room of the Lawrence Memorial Hospital, he said his job with LifeStar is the best nursing job that could be had. "It's very prestigious, everyone in the nursing field kind of looks up to this job." Pope said. "It gets you out of the hospital and you get to do lots of different procedures on patients as a nurse that you couldn't do in a hospital" Edited by Emily McCoy Unbe-weave-able Kingly Growing Kelsey Richardson/KANSAN Nell Gosl, Prof senior, works on a scarf in the Ar. and Design building Tuesday afternoon.

Jasmine Parham's new college roommate is a dear friend from back home. The roomie responds to "Leo" and never goes to class, but can perform some neat tricks. Leonora, a frisky border collie, and her owner, Parham, are among the first residents of the first pet-friendly dorm at Stetson University in DeLand, Fla. About 20 students and their pets — dogs, cats and a few caged gerbils and rats — are taking up residence at Nemec Hall, an established dorm, as the fall semester begins this week. Stetson is not the first college to have a pet-friendly dorm, but it's among the relatively few schools — perhaps a dozen or so across the country — that have formal policies and accommodations. Stetson officials say the dorms could become a recruitment tool that helps set the school apart, just as big schools such as the University of Central Florida entice students with football stadiums, basketball arenas and trendy eateries. The idea behind the dorm is to give students — freshmen, in particular — a familiar presence as they make the sometimes stressful transition from home to campus. "What better way to do that than to have a family friend there to greet you when you get out of class?" said Justin Williams, the university's director of housing and residential life. Having a pet along for the college journey makes a dorm "a home away from home," he said. Parham, a freshman from Palm Coast, Fla., agrees. "I love having my best friend here with me," Parham said.

Kansas State's electrifying kick returner and wide receiver has taken his quick feet and dazzling speed to the NFL and a tryout with the Washington Redskins. Just who will wind up replacing him may be anybody's guess because no fewer than seven candidates headed into preseason drills with a chance. Tramine Thompson and Aubrey Quarles were listed No. 1 at the two wide receiver positions on the depth chart for Saturday's season opener against UCLA. But several others, including Chris Harper, Adrian Hilburn and Sheldon Smith, were also competing. All are bigger than the 5-foot-7 Banks, who was fifth nationally in kickoff returns last season. Probably none is as quick. But all have promise and one — Harper — can boast the advantage of playing quarterback in the Pac-10. "All of them are basically new in regards to playing time, but I'm pleased with the progress they have made," coach Bill Snyder said. Only three have any experience with Kansas State - Quarles, Smith and Torrel Miller. But Harper and Brodrick Smith played at other universities in 2008 before redshirting as Wildcats last season. Hilburn, Quarles and Sheldon Smith also have junior college experience. "This is a little different type of receiving corps." Snyder said. "They're bigger, more physical guys." Wide receivers coach Michael Smith likes the thought of having more heft in his pass-catchers. "I think people think that a lot of receivers are finesse guys, but there's a great deal of toughness that people don't see because we're not in the trenches like the O-line or D-line," he said. "But it takes courage to go across the middle and lay your body out, knowing that you're going to get hit." The coach said the group takes instruction well. He said he just tells them to be consistent, be the hardest-working group of guys on the team, and have fun. Quarles said while the group is definitely different from last year, he feels they will bond and that they are ready for this season. A senior, Quarles redshirted in 2009. He played in all 12 games in 2008 and started four times, totaling 34 catches for 407 yards. "I feel that I have a great set of hands and I run good routes," Quarles said. "I mean I am not afraid to go across the middle and catch the ball. Not that anybody was afraid, but that is something that I bring to the table." Like Quarles, Harper redshirted during the 2009 season. A coveted recruit out of high school, he played at Oregon his freshman year. After five games as a quarterback, he switched to wide receiver and became Oregon's first player in eight years to score a touchdown running, passing and receiving. At 6-feet-1-inch and 234 pounds, the Wichita native presents the biggest target for Carson Coffman, who won the quarterback job in competition with Collin Klein and Sammuel Lamar. "He is really smart coming from the quarterback position," Quarles said of Harper. "He is just an athlete out there. He is just another big body and big target to throw the ball to out there as well." The youngest contender is Thompson, a redshirt freshman. So how effectively will the Wildcats' receiver corps wind up being? "Ask me in December and I probably could give you a decent answer," said Snyder. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Georgia Tech uses Dos Equis spoof to promote Nesbitt for Heisman MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE ATLANTA _ Dashing, debonairly dressed and surrounded by young women from Georgia Tech's dance team, a suave Joshua Nesbitt is proclaimed "the most interesting player in college football." Welcome to the 21st century of Heisman Trophy campaigning. On Tuesday, moments after the conclusion of Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson's first weekly news conference, officials at the institute unveiled a web-based promotion to recognize the senior quarterback's potential as a candidate for the race for college foot ball's most coveted award. The promotion is headlined by a video that is a comedic takeoff on beer label Dos Equis' currently popular ads heralding the "most interesting man in the world" a classically-dressed, sophisticated-looking gray-haired gentleman who sits in clubs surrounded by attractive women. Featuring music markedly similar to the Latin flair that make the Dos Equis commercials memorable, Nesbitt's creative promo is designed to give voters a To see the complete campaign, log on to www.nesbitt4heisman. com. unique look at a player whose runs an offense that is different than what most past Heisman winners ran. "I don't often get thirsty," Nesbitt says at the end of the video, "but when I end, I thirst for success. "It's catchy, it's good; he's certainly deserving." Johnson said of the promotion. "Hopefully he'll have his best year." The closing line is a tribute to the Dos Equis commercial which ends with the protagonist always saying: "Stay thirsty, mv friends." "Vote for me, my friends." COLLEGE FOOTBALL Mountain West loses BYU and gains two programs MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE BYU, which had been considering joining the Western Athletic Conference, had until Sept. 1 to announce its intention to leave the Mountain West. Aug. 31-Brigham Young University is leaving the Mountain West Conference, going independent in football and joining the West Coast Conference in 11 other sports. The WAC schools -- in an attempt to entice BYU -- agreed earlier this month to a deal that called for a penalty of $5 million if a school were to leave the league. It's not clear if Fresno State will be forced to pay the exit fee. Fresno State and Nevada announced Aug. 18 that they were leaving the WAC for the Mountain West -- five days after agreeing to that resolution. WAC commissioner Karl Benson today would not address the clause in the resolution that seemed to give Fresno State an out. That clause states: "In the event that no written agreement is executed by BYU [to join the WAC] on or before Sept. 1, 2010 this resolution is termi- ... then this resolution is terminated." On Monday Benson said the WAC would take "legal recourse it necessary to obtain the money."

Decked out in his signature white pants and shoes, the legendary Hawkeye coach read Long the Riot Act. And then, the crescendo to a disastrous daw. "I go right over to him and throw up all over his white pants and all over his shoes," Long said. "He benched me right on the spot." It is not often one gets to upchuck on a College Football Hall of Famer, but that is exactly what Long did with family and friends watching from the stands. After the game, Long's own grandmother was ready to bench him. 'My grandmother said, 'Hey Chuck, you don't have to play this game anymore. You don't have to do this." Long said. "They were all so upset they didn't want me to play anymore." There is a moral to the story, however. Despite the episode, Long would maintain the faith of his coach and go on to have his own College Football Hall of Fame career. No matter how turbulent a quarterback's first impression is, there is always room for growth. That is the lesson Long wants Pick to keep in mind just in case things go south this Saturday. "I always tell quarterbacks that story," Long said. "There was nowhere to go but up." MLB Royals take win against Rangers ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Willie Bloomquist scored on Alexi Ogando's wild pitch with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and Alex Gordon drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Texas Rangers 10-9 on Tuesday night. Wilson Betemit opened the ninth with a double and Bloomquist pinch-ran for him. Brayan Pena walked with one out. Bloomquist stole third with one out and scored on Ogando's wild pitch with Yuniesky Betancourt at the plate. Joakim Soria (1-2) picked up the victory, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth. Rangers left-hander Darren Oliver (1-2), who started the ninth, took the loss and has allowed 11 earned runs in 10 innings in his past 13 outings. Texas got home runs from Dulimir Guerrero. Michael Young, David Murphy and Mitch Moreland. Guerrero hit a two-run homer in a three-run fifth, while the other home runs were with the bases empty.

Rangers left-hander Cliff Lee, who is winless in his past five starts with an 8.28 ERA while allowing 27 earned runs on 44 hits in 29 1-3 innings, got a no-decision. He left after 4 2-3 innings, his shortest outing since Sept. 20, 2009, allowing seven runs, three unearned, and 10 hits. The Royals scored five runs in the fifth to take a 9-6 lead. Gordon and Jai Miller each contributed two-run doubles in the inning. Mike Aviles' two-out single scored Miller with the final run of the fifth.

Gordon had a run-producing single in the Royals' three-run third. All the runs were unearned after a throwing error by Lee. Billy Butler singled home Gregor Blanco with the first run of the inning, while Kila Ka'aihue's fielder's choice groundout scored Aviles with the other. Betancourt homered, his 14th, in the second for the first Royals run. Guerrero's fifth inning home run with Hamilton aboard broke a 4-4 tie. Hamilton's single to right scored Andrus, who led off the inning with a single. The Royals beat the Rangers for only the second time in eight games this season.

STREAK (CONTINUED FROM 10A) Mayfield led the Kansas offense with 10 and nine kills, respectively. Freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc added seven kills and six blocks. "We had some soft spots, some things that we needed to clean up," said senior outside hitter Karina Garlington. "But overall...we played KU volleyball and had a pretty good result." Part of that good result was a whopping 28 assists put up by freshman setter Kara Wehrs, which exceeded all of UMKC's assists by 11. "Kara, I thought, got better tonight at setting," Bechard said. "Marianne Beal had a pretty good run tonight. We're excited about that, and farmco is really playing pretty well right now. We played two freshmen and a sophomore tonight in the middle and had a lot of youngsters out there at one time." This weekend, Kansas will host the Jayhawk Classic at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center with matchups against Akron, Arkansas and UT-Chattanooga on Friday and Saturday. Arkansas is 4-0 after defeating Oral Roberts in a five-set match Tuesday night. Wehrs had some of warning for the layhwaks' challenges. $^1$ "I think the weekend is going to go great," she said.

Edited by Joel Pettersón MLB Player proves he's worth recognition ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman was too fast to hit in his big league debut, throwing 102 mph during one perfect inning, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-4 on Tuesday night, wrapping up the best August by any team in the majors. The NL Central leaders moved a season-high seven games ahead of St. Louis, which lost to Houston 3-0, getting shut out for the second straight night. The Reds haven't led by so many games since 1995, the last time they reached the playoffs. Now, they have a radar-busting reliever to get there again. Chapman joined the Reds' bullpen and matched the hype his first time out, throwing four pitches clocked at 100 mph or better. The Reds called up the hard-throwing lefty, hoping he can add some sizzle to their September — and beyond. The Reds have pulled away from second-place St. Louis in the NL Central by going 19-8 in August, the best mark in the majors. Joey Votto drove in three runs with a pair of doubles off Yovani Gallardo (11-7), hearing "MVPI" chants each time he reached. Sam LeCure (2-4) pitched two innings in relief of Aaron Harang, who struggled to return from injury. From the start, the Reds had their attention on September. They called up Chapman from the minors before the game, making him eligible for postseason play. Chapman's fastball has been clocked as high at 105 mph in the minors, making him something of an urban legend before he even reached a major league mound. Fans started snapping pictures when he took off his jacket and started warming up after the seventh-inning stretch. The stretch. The tion from the crowd of only 19,288 when he jogged out of the bullpen to pitch the top of the eighth with the Reds leading 8-3. Fans let out a collective "ooh" after each high-velocity warmup throw.

Tim Dwyer MORNING BREW New voice vitalizes Madden 11 G us Johnson has a way of making me think that my virtual touchdowns actually mean something As the new commentator of Madden 11, Gu-jo brings a whole new dimension to decades of gaming. There is no better man to call any game, let alone every game when you turn on your gaming system. If you asked me to compare Madden 11 with NCAA Football 11, there is no comparison. I can simplify the two games with a math equation: Kirk Burstreit and Brad Nessler < Gus Johnson and Cris Collinsworth. You don't even need to put Collinsworth in the equation. His remarks are witty and rather smarvy, making him a powerful asset to the Madden family. But Johnson is over the top, and everyone who watches his games knows this. He feels the game and lets us all feel the same way. He's not afraid to put his emotions out there and it makes him unique among commentators. I find myself cracking up at some of his remarks. When I break a 70-yard touchdown and the Gu-Jo starts singing the 1960s Batman theme, I am in gaming heaven. SOMAN MURAKAMI I tried to play the game without sound and it was not the same. When you throw BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com a deep pass, Johnson will freak out without fail. It doesn't matter whether you complete the pass or not, he's going to yell, "HE'S GOING FOR IT ALL!" And it never gets old. Playing as my favorite team — the San Diego Chargers — he sings the "Super Charger" theme song when you score a touchdown. Ladies and gentleman, there exists no greater sound. He's awesome because of the little things. He says "first down" with more enthusiasm than Dick Vitale yells "Yeah, baby!" Reading what he says in paper doesn't leave nearly the same impression as it does in the game People love Gus Johnson. I've also met people that are scared of him. He just tells it like it is. THE MORNING BREW There needs to be a system where Gus Johnson calls any close game, no matter what sport it is or what network it's on. His enthusiasm is just unmatched.

Brits pick up interest in football MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE ARLINGTON, Texas — Karl Baumann surveyed the locker room, fixing his gaze on the poster of each Dallas Cowboys cheerleader on the wall above her locker. "I never realized the cheerleaders had their own locker room," he said. "This stadium is absolutely awesome. Now, Wembley is impressive, but this is the best stadium I've ever seen." The network has more than 16 percent of the population in Britain, and although American football has a cult audience, it is growing and passionate. Baumann is a producer at Sky Sports, the ESPN of Great Britain. He oversees the network's coverage of the NFL, which includes regular-season games — a triple-header on Thanksgiving — the playoffs and Super Bowl. Sky Sports is preparing to launch its NFL season and Baumann was getting a tour of Cowboys Stadium, where Super Bowl XLV will be played Feb. 6. "My best friend in the world would rather put pins in his eyes than watch football," Baumann said, "but the 5 percent who watch it would sell their mom to get tickets to the Super Bowl." Baumann was part of a mini-British Invasion at Cowboys Stadium this week. Andrew Hill, managing director of Sports Travel Tours, was also on-site talking about the travel packages offered NFL fans in Europe that include a stay of three or four nights at the Arlington Hilton and prime tickets to a Cowboys regular-season home game. Working with the Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau, Hill's travel company purchases 30 season tickets. Fornier Boys wide receiver Drew Pearson has been recruited to be the guest celebrity coach, who meets with the 30 to 50 tourists the night before the game, giving a "chalk talk," telling stories and answering questions. "The fans who come over really know their stuff." Hill said. Their stay involves a trip to Billy Bob's in the Fort Worth Stockyards, a Six Flags visit for thrill seekers and a beer-and-burger-style tailgate party on the day of the game. This is the 12th year of the Cowboys travel tours. Baumann and Hill actually played American football in British leagues. Hill, an inside linebacker, said that interest in Germany and Austria is even greater. But both believe the NFL can become a niche sport in Britain, after soccer, cricket and rugby. NFL Europe helped generate interest during its existence, but there wasn't a big enough fan base on the continent to support 10 teams, which the league had in its debut in 1991. But it is another matter for the annual regular-season NFL game at the new Wembley Stadium. "We had 500,000 people apply for tickets," Baumann said. "Wembley seats 86,000 and last year's Bucs-Patriots game sold out in six minutes." Baumann said that the game gets special treatment. "We paint it as our Super Bowl," he said. "Sky Sports takes the live feed from the American network televising the game and then adds its own touches, including analysis, pregame show and "a lot of humor."

MLS Wizards coach gets kicked by the law GARDNER — The head coach of the Kansas City Wizards is accused of drunken driving after being pulled over in Gardner. Police reports show 43-year-old Peter Vermes was arrested early Aug.24 on suspicion of driving under the influence. Police say Vermes posted $750 bond and was released after spending about six hours in jail. Vermes is a former Wizards player and was a member of the 1990 U.S. World Cup team. Vermes is scheduled to appear in Court on Nov. 9. U. S. BASKETBALL Associated Press Close call keeps team in line ASSOCIATED PRESS ISTANBUL — Derrick Rose thought it was going in. So did Leandro Barbosa, who shot it. Instead, Brazil's attempt to tie at the buzzer fell out, and the United States remained unbeaten, though no longer unchallenged. A world championship won't come easily for this young team — if it comes at all — so the Americans believe their 70-68 victory over Brazil on Monday will help them in the later rounds. "Sometimes family that goes through adversity gets a little better," center Lamar Odom said. "It's a game we probably needed. Probably a good tuneup, especially going into the medal rounds, trying to finish up this tournament." Kevin Durant scored 27 points and Chauncey Billups added 15 for the Americans (3-0), who essentially clinched Group B with the victory. But they have bigger goals than a group championship, a 16-year U.S. drought in this event. This U.S. team has to do without Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and all the other players who led the Americans He missed the first free throw and then the second intentionally, tracking it down in the corner and firing it underneath to Barbosa, who lofted a shot over Kevin Love, only to have it bounce off the back and front of the rim. "We know that teams are really coming in here to try to win this tournament and we're here to do the same." But they couldn't build on the lead during a tense final few minutes, and Brazil had two chances to send the game to overtime. Following a miss by Billups, Brazil got the ball and Marcelo Huertas was fouled on a drive to the basket with 3.5 seconds remaining. After the Americans trailed most of the first $2\frac{1}{2}$ quarters, Odom's dunk with 7:14 left put them ahead 64-62. "I thought it was going in, but it's OK," Barbosa said. "I think we did a great job, it was a great game. I don't think the USA knew that we could cause problems for "Probably a good tuneuo, especially going into the medal rounds..." to the gold medal in the 2008 Olympics, and those guys never needed breaks at the buzzer. "This game right here was an eye opener," said Rose, the only other U.S. player in double figures with 11 points. Barbosa finished with 14 points after a strong start for Brazil (2-1). Marcus Vinicius scored 16, and Tiago Splitter had 13 points and 10 rebounds while LAMAR ODOM USA center them and we did it" The Americans have plenty to work on before worrying about that, after needing a huge night from Durant and 31 minutes from Billups, the old man of the team at 33 who had their only basket in the final 6:50. out with an injury and Varejao sat out again while continuing to rest a sprained right ankle, so the Brazilians turned to a speed game to lead much of the way. battling foul trouble in the second half. They just couldn't finish the upset, leaving the Americans needing only a victory over Iran or Tunisia, the bottom two teams in Group B, or another Brazil loss to earn the top seed from the group and three full days off before meeting the No. 4 seed from Group A on Sept. 6. With NBA big men Nene, Anderson Varejao and Splitter, Brazil was considered one of the teams with enough size to topple the Americans. Nene had to pull It's NOT too late...

Pick is the Jayhawks' starting quarterback going into the season opener on Saturday against North Dakota State. BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com As he prepares for his first career start as a Jayhawk this Saturday, sophomore quarterback Kale Pick may have butterflies in his stomach. Anxiety, nervousness and anticipation could creep into his demeanor as kickoff draws near. Pick's offensive coordinator and quarterback's coach Chuck Long has just one piece of advice for him: Pray your debut at the position is not as disastrous as his was. "My first start was not very good," Long said. That is an understatement Long was making his first start of the 1982 season as a freshman for the Iowa Hawkeyes against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It was a swelteringly afternoon, and the Cornhuskers' AstroTurf made matters even worse. Long took extra preparation to make sure he had enough energy for the game. "I thought I needed a lot of energy for that game, so I ate everything in the pre-game meal," Long said. "I ate everything in sight to store up food and energy to get me through that hot day." Fast-forward to the fourth quarter, when Long is taking a pounding from the Nebraska Blackshirt defense. At a 42-7 disadvantage, a queasy Long called timeout.

I call it the Heisman Hawk list, simply because I am only listing Kansas players. Here is a list of Kansas players that have the best chance at winning the award. Even though these names may be six feet under ground as far as the actual Heisman list goes, these players are Kansas' top names. The University of Kansas has yet to produce a player good enough to earn the coveted award in its 74-year history. Sure there have been candidates for the trophy who have taken the field for Kansas in the 120-year history of the football team. Gale Sayers, John Riggins, John Hadl and Todd Reesing have all contended, but never brought the hardware home. 1. ANGUS QUIGLEY This guy deserves a burger called the Angus Quigley burger to be sold at every local bar and grill. For one thing, the guy can pound any defender into ground meat, as Texas safety Blake Gideon experienced two years ago at Memorial Stadium. Quigley, a senior from Cleburn, Texas, was appointed captain and starting tailback this season. Entering his sixth year as a player at Kansas, he has the leadership ability to lead an offense, and other players and coach Gill have noticed. "I think he speaks a lot about what our football is about," coach Gill said at a press conference yesterday. Coach Gill said that Quigley's struggles at Kansas really inspire other players to persevere and play with confidence. Quigley has been injured multiple times, and was switched to linebacker last year. If he can avoid injury,he will be the reason why Kansas football wins games this year. BY NICOLAS ROESLER proesler@kansan.com 1 In his first campaign leading the Kansas offense, Pick will need to keep a level head and try not to force plays. Although he has the ability to break plays wide open with his running ability, making an effort to control games rather than make games will determine his worth. Although he only has three interceptions in his career, his activity as a physical corner makes him a powerful defender. Last year he made 84 tackles and was the third-leading tackler behind safety Darrell Stuckey and linebacker Drew Dudley. 2. CHRIS HARRIS His experience and leadership on the defensive side of the ball will determine whether or not Kansas can stop some of the high-powered offenses in the Big 12. If the secondary holds, he deserves this ranking on the Heisman Hawk list. 3. KALE PICK Because he is the only player on this list without much game experience, it's hard to tell if he can climb in votes for the Heisman Hawk. But his role as gun-slinger in an offense run by a coach who was a heisman contender at quarterback himself automatically puts him in the race. A defender hasn't won the Heisman Trophy since Charles Woodson, a cornerback at Michigan in 1997. Harris, a senior from Bixby, Okla., has proven himself on the field to be a quality cornerback since his freshman year. Edited by Joel Petterson Kansas continues unbeaten streak VOLLEYBALL The volleyball team extended its perfect record to 4-0 after Tuesday's victory over UMKC, leading each of the three sets virtually from start to finish. This is the first time the Jayhawks have started the season with four straight wins since 2005. The Roos briefly managed to take the lead by scoring the first point of the first set, but that was about the limit of their success in the match. The Jayhawks jumped in front immediately and kept the Roos largely at arm's length until the Jayhawks took the set with a score of 25-20. "At times it looked like we were really struggling serving the ball," said coach Ray Bechard. "But that's what really created the chaos on their side. We were serving aggressive and sometimes you have to pick and choose when that happens." In the second set, things went from bad to worse for UMKC. Again, the Roos took an early lead of 1-0 only to see the Jayhawks score eight unanswered points and hold the lead until the end of the game. Sending shots into the net, under the net and over the line, UMKC only recorded three kills and racked up 10 errors. That was far short of matching the 13 kills that the Jayhawks put up in the same set, which ended 25-10. Meanwhile, the Roos were sent scrambling defensively and, many times, diving and rolling after shots that the Jayhawks had driven into their back court. The Roos' offense rebounded somewhat in the third set, where they notched 11 kills and improved their attack percentage to .280, but it wasn't enough as the third and final set ended up at 25-16 in favor of Kansas.

ACADEMICS | 6A THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 WWW.KANSAN.COM VOLUME 123 ISSUE 12 THE SOUND OF MUSIC Struggles make an artist Professor of music to compose a flute concerto for Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra MARTIN KU music professor James Barnes teaches music composition, orchestraction, arranging, and wind band history and repertoire courses. Barnes has been commissioned to compose a piece of music for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Sarah Hockel/KANSAN BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com Imagine sitting at a piano. A blank piece of white paper stares at you from the music stand and the white and black keys rest untouched below your fingers. You write a note on the page and begin to hear music. Not coming from the piano, but from your head. At once you hear an entire orchestra playing what you write. This is what happens in Professor James Barnes' head. This is why the internationally renowned Berlin Philharmonic commissioned Barnes to compose a flute concerto for its 2012-2013 concert series. "I've got this little orchestra in my head and I just write what they're doing." Barnes said of his method for composing pieces. "It's an acquired effect." Andreas Blau, long time flutist for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, had heard one of Barnes' symphonies and contacted Barnes last fall about composing this work. After initial shock and disbelief, Barnes met with him in Munich to discuss the offer. He said being commissioned for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra is the most prestigious offer he has ever received, but he doesn't want to approach this piece any differently than other compositions. Barnes began composing early in life. He started writing his own music by ninth grade. You might think a teenager with this natural skill would have gone to an art school in New York, but not Barnes. You can tell by his accent. He grew up on a cattle farm in western Oklahoma and his father knew nothing about music. "He is like an interesting combination of somebody who is one of the most literate and knowledgeable musicians I've ever known, yet someone who also is very much from Oklahoma," said Brian Haaheim, associate professor of music theory and music composition. Haaheim has worked with Barnes for almost ten years. He said Barnes is known as one of the world's most renowned wind ensemble composers. He also said that nothing about him would lead you to believe that. "He doesn't tend to blow his own horn," Haaheim said. "He just does the work and continually puts out exceptionally good music." Barnes has been living in Lawrence ever since coming to the University for his undergraduate degree. His experiences in Oklahoma and the skills he learned at the University shaped Barnes into the creative person he is today. The death of his father when he was 21 and the earlier death of his mother when he was eight affected Barnes deeply. Without his father, he was left to support himself throughout college. He said if nothing dramatic happens to a person in life, then they really don't have much to say. "It's the wear and tear of life that makes an artist," Barnes said. The deaths of his parents forced him to look inward. This self exploration enhances his creativity and translates directly into his music. When he is composing, Barnes says he is writing music that conveys emotion and that is saying something. It's not simply notes on a page. Barnes received his master's degree in 1975 and has been teaching at the University for 37 years now. He teaches music composition, orchestration, arranging, and wind band history and repertoire courses in the School of Music. It is a process everybody faces, says Barnes, to look at nothing and create something. Barnes has no set process for composing his pieces. He never writes two the same way. Some "I've got this little orchestra in my head and I just write what they're doing." JAMES BARNES Professor of music he writes from ending movement to beginning, some from beginning to end. He believes if there is too much of a set process, the creation turns out bad. He tries to share that with students now at the University. "Jim Barnes is, in many ways, the heart and soul of the KU School of Music," said Forrest Pierce. He also serves as the director for the division of music theory and composition. assistant professor of music composition. Pierce has worked with Barnes for five years and is amazed by Barnes' mastery of large ensembles. Pierce also said Barnes is "exceedingly humble" despite all of his accomplishments. Barnes has performed and conducted at music halls all over the world, including Carnegie Hall and Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, as well as guest conducting in Japan more than 35 times. As far as the concerto for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Barnes says he'll "be done when it is finished." Although he likes working under deadlines, he doesn't want to put a specific date on when the work will be completed. He was confident, talking through a thick cigar pinched between his teeth, that he will begin the three movement concerto in January, and will eventually have it done on time for Berlin, which is quite a distance away from his roots in western Oklahoma and his home in Lawrence.

Medical ministry offers affordable health care HEALTH BY SAMANTHA COLLINS A woman who has no home, no job and no money walks into the health clinic. Four dollars fill her wallet; she needs at least 20 dollars to pay for her much needed medication. She questions whether she should choose food or pay for the medication. But the New Hope Medical Ministry can help. scollins@kansan.com This is just one of the scenarios the New Hope Medical "It's a way for us to give back to people," Gray said. "God's done so much for us and this is a way we can do it." Ministry will face after it opens on Wednesday, said Paul Gray, pastor of New Life in Christ Church. The church launched the ministry, located at 619 Vermont St., to provide minimal-cost health care to Lawrence residents and students with limited incomes. "The job of the church is to help the needy and aid the community," Stewart said. The clinic does not charge for examinations. It does ask for a $25 donation to help cover expenses. Gray said the clinic did not want to place a financial burden in the church so all funding for the clinic came from donations outside the church. The clinic asks patients to pay for any additional treatments like vaccinations or did exactly what a church should do; care for others without bias Erin Stewart, a graduate student from Houston and a member of the church, said the church medical tests to help reduce cost for the clinic. But, the clinic does not force payment if the patient cannot afford the medical treatment or medication. This new clinic now provides Lawrence with its third low-cost health clinic. Unlike the other two clinics, Health Care Access, 330 Maine St., and Heartland Medical Clinic, 1 Riverfront Plaza, the New Hope Medical Ministry does not require patients to show financial papers, Sale said. "We don't hold people's feet to the fire" Gray said. "If you say you can't pay, then you can't pay." Dennis Sale, the primary physician for the clinic, said the clinic would welcome students to receive the health care. Sale said the clinic could provide a low priced alternative form of medical care for students compared to the services of Watkins Health Center. "If they are very poor students we probably won't charge them," SEE MINISTRY ON PAGE 6A ENVIRONMENT Water reservoirs face algae problems BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com The water may taste a little less funky, but problems with Lawrence's drinking water supply have only just begun. The Kansas River is pumping smelly water to town from an upstream reservoir, Tuttle Creek Lake near Manhattan according to the Kansas Health and Environment Department. Usually, Clinton Lake is the source of weirdness in the city's water because of a blue-green algae bloom in the lake that creates the smelly compounds MIB and geosmin. But this time, the guilty bloom is in Tuttle Creek Lake. The bloom will die soon and Lawrence residents will have temporary relief from the awkward taste and odor. But the funky water is just the beginning of ways that Lawrence — and cities all over the Midwest — is facing the limitations of reservoir water. "They try to build reservoirs for a specific life span, assuming in 100 years we'll have found a different solution," Don Huggins, an aquatic ecologist at the Kansas Biological Reserve, said. "The problem is some of our reservoirs are filling faster than what's projected." Every reservoir — including Clinton Lake — is slowly filling with sediment from in-flowing rivers, and will eventually be unusable. "We ought to be focusing, right now, on what we can do to prolong the life of the reservoir," Huggins said. "That means better watershed management and better lake management." Taking steps to fix aging reservoirs through methods like dredging them are often too expensive for cities to perform without more money. "The shallower our reservoirs get, the less water we'll have available for our use, and probably the water quality will get worse — not only in terms of supporting recreational fishing and aquatic life, but also of drinking water." The shallower the lake is, the more opportunity for wind to stir the water, throwing the settled nutrients up from the bottom. That allows more blue-green algae to grow, so expect funky water more often as reservoirs fill up with sediment over time. Even if the algae isn't terribly dangerous, the increase in the blue-green algae's presence is an indication that the reservoirs are getting older, Huggins said. And that means time is running out. "That's where we get involved. You have to start thinking about how you use water and how you waste water," Huggins said. "I know that's the last thing people want to consider. 'Why can't I have all that I want? It's a natural resource' — but SEE WATER ON PAGE 6A index Classifieds...6A Opinion...5A Crossword...4A Sports...10A Cryptoquips...4A Sudoku...4A All contents, unless stated otherwise; © 2010 The University Daily Kansan Quigley, Sands to carry ball in first football game Sixth-year senior Angus Quigley won the top job, but Deshaun Sands will see plenty of time as the back up running back.

STUDENT SENATE Senators approve funding increase The Student Senate Finance Committee approved $24,557 in funding Wednesday night, including $13,000 in additional funding for Student Executive Committee salaries and $4,270 for 4n6, a forensics club founded this year. Last week members of StudEx were paid for 57 percent of their total hours worked, according to a report by Erin Pishny, treasurer and co-author of the bill that requested the funding. The approved funding would have covered 78 percent of their total hours worked last week, according to the same report.Pishny said the report was reflective of an average work week. "I think it's important that we pay based on work," said assistant treasurer David Cohen, the bill's second author. "We're getting closer to that." The approved funding for the forensics club will help cover travel costs for the fall semester. The Finance Committee voted down a corresponding bill requesting a travel exemption for the new club. The approved bill will increase paid hours and not pay rate. StudEx's nine members will be paid for a combined 221 hours per week. Before the bill passed, their combined hours were 160 per week. Their hourly rate will stay at $7.50.

Winer TECHNOLOGY Apple unveils new iPods MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE On Wednesday, Apple's Steve Jobs stood before of a crowd of reporters to unveil the latest gadgets and their features. He mentioned a new and improved operating system, iOS 4.1, which will be available for free next week. The iOS 4.2, which has the same thing as the iOS 4.2, will be available for the iPad in November — iPod Nano — It's smaller and lighter. The Nano will have a touch screen that shows radio, clock, photos and playlists among other things. It has a 24 hour battery life. The cost is $149 for 8G and $179 for 16G version. Jobs declared changes to the iPod were the "biggest changes" ever. Here are the iPod highlights: — iPod Touch — It's thinner. It has a retina display, which means a clearer screen. It will have a front facing camera and can do Face Time. The cost is $299 for a 32GB and $399 for a 64GB. -iPod Shuffle — Apple brought buttons back. It also has a voice-over feature and will play 15 hours of tunes. The cost is $49. Jobs offered iTunes version 10, which has a new logo, and the site is entering into the social networking realm. Pirg is a social network for music and is available on your ITUNES computer and iPhone. APPLE TV Apple TV was introduced with not much fanfare in 2006 but people "love them." Jobs told the crowd. The company created a new Apple TV, he said. He held up something that looked about the size of a hockey puck. On the back, it has HDMI, USB, optical audio and Ethernet. He referred to iTunes as the largest online library. Customers can rent a movie for $4.99 the day it comes out on DVD or buy a TV show for $9.99 (no commercials) Jobs said viewers just rent movies and TV shows. They don't store any content on it. So far, ABC and Fox are on board but Apple believes others networks will join.

The heaviest ticket demand one Live Nation honcho has ever experienced. A "once-in-a-lifetime production" for an industry veteran who has staged Super Bowl halftime shows. "We've done things together," the Detroit rapper told interviewers when announcing his upcoming shows with Jay-Z. "But I'm not sure we've ever done anything this big." With the superstar duo set to stage a massive home-and-home series — a pair of Comerica Park shows this week (Thursday and Friday) followed by two at Yankee Stadium (Sept. 13-14) — the superlasters are coming thick and fast from those close to the event. DETROIT — You can finally accuse Eminem of understatement. There's historical significance too. The sold-out dates aren't just testament to the enduring power of Em and Jay-Z, two of the world's biggest music acts — they also mark a milestone for hip-hop itself. "They're putting hip-hop on the same playing field as anything else," says L.A. hip-hop journalist Scott Sterling, citing rock's storied history of concert spectacle. "If I'm a 15-year-old who's getting into this music, it makes anything possible." Turning Detroit into the center of the music world for two days has been months in the making. "Marshall and Jay had the idea," says Live Nation's Rick Franks, "and from there they ran with it." Plans were shepherded via lay- Z's relationship with Live Nation — the pioneering "360 deal" that gives the company a stake in his tours, recordings and publishing. Voted Best Pizza in Lawrence!

RELATIONSHIPS When it comes to chivalry Chapelle's words ring true In response to my columns about chivalry last semester, one of my friends sent me a video of Dave Chappelle's intriguing answer to the question of controversy: What happened to chivalry? Chappelle explains: As much as I hate to admit it, Chappelle is right. As someone who has写了 columns blaming technology and disrespectful men for the rare existence of chivalry in today's society, I took Chappelle's standup into serious thought. Unfortunately we live in a society in which, according to The National Eating Disorders Association, 80 percent of women are dissatisfied with their appearance. The truth is that we can't expect men to respect us unless we respect ourselves first. For a majority of my life, I was a part of that 80 percent. I grew up with a wider figure, light skin, an abundance of freckles and bright red hair. As far as I could see, my appearance was pretty much the opposite of what the media dubbed as male's "ideal woman": skinny tan blondes. I'll never forget the overwhelming relief I felt when I heard a boy tell me I was beautiful for the first he Texts in the City BY MANDY MATNEY mmatney@kansan.com It seems to be a reoccurring theme in dysfunctional relationships. My happiness was completely dependent upon his affection. I needed to hear I was beautiful from him to think I was. And what was sad was that I actually thought that meant we were in love. Until I analyzed my own dating patterns over the past 6 years, I never realized that self-confidence is crucial for respectful relationships. I used to hopelessly search for a boyfriend in hopes of fulfilling my happiness. I used to blame my inability to find true love on about the lack of gentlemen in college. While in reality, I know my lack of confidence heavily interfered with my dating struggles. It took a lot of time being single for me to find out what I wanted out of a relationship. The more time that passed that I actually enjoyed my life as a single, the more my expectations grew for my own Mr. Right, and I refused to settle for anything less. I wrote a few columns about my high expectations, urging girls across campus to do the same. A couple times I was told that my expectations were too high and I would never find the man of "modern day chivalry" I wrote about because apparently they don't exist. I didn't care though. I'd rather be alone with high expectations than stuck settling in an unsatisfying relationship. My waiting turned out to be worth it. Recently, I met someone who meets my high expectations. He actions have proved to me that "modern day chivalry" does exist. He consistently treats me with the level of respect I have come to know that I deserve. He boosts my confidence, but definitely isn't the central source of it. Now, more than ever, I realize that true happiness within relationships starts with self-confidence. If women want men to work for their affection like they did in the old days, we have to work at respecting ourselves first. Matney is a junior from Shawnee in journalism. CARTOON HONESTLY... I HADN'T DREAMT OF THIS AL SHARPTON CURR BECY NICK SAMBALUN CULTURE Phrase distasteful and offensive "Dude, I love you guys. No homo." As I was walking across campus (University of Nebraska-Omaha) the other day, I couldn't help but overhear a conversation between a few guys. They were talking, laughing and discussing how excited they were to have an upcoming class together. Then I heard the aforementioned phrase. Maybe I'm not as informed as everyone else, but that was the first time I'd ever heard someone declare "no homo" after a statement. So I did the natural thing and Googled it. Seriously? Apparently it stems from the early '90s rap scene, where it entered the hip-hop lexicon thanks to rappers like Camron. It became more mainstream in songs with the help of Lil' Wayne. Nowadays, it's commonly uttered by people (usually men) all over the place, including some men on this very campus. As soon as I took note of the phrase, I began hearing it in more and more places. My own brother admitted it's a common statement in his high school. When I asked him why that was, he responded, "It's just something everyone says" something that may have given a homosexual impression? Assuming the person you're talking with knows you well and is your friend, why would they need clarification that something you just said was not meant in a homosexual context? I just don't get it. A YouTuber I ran across in my online research by the name of Tessa Violet makes a very good point. It's not like when I'm rubbing my dog's belly I say, "Boo, you're just the cutest little thing. No bestiality." Isn't that something that is just implied? I have only one question then. Why? Why is it necessary for a guy to say, "No homo!" after he says Maybe there's some macho, testosterone-fueled aspect at play here. Perhaps some guys are afraid that declaring something that could be misconstrued as homosexual somehow diminishes their manliness. Cue the "No homo." And I would just like to digress for a moment and point out here that a gay male is still a man. It's not like he magically transforms into a woman or anything. I know homosexual men that are superior athletes, eat mountains of food, watch SportsCenter and do whatever else falls under the definition of being a "manly" man Whether it's insecurity or just a derogatory pop-culture phrase that's being mindlessly tacked onto a sentence, I just don't like "No homo". It baffles me. Telling someone you're familiar with that you love him or her shouldn't need clarification. Based on your already acknowledged relationship, it should be obvious what kind of love you're exclaiming. Plus, you don't see gay couples walking around telling their significant other "I love you. No hetero." That just sounds stupid, because their relationship is obviously not of that nature and it needs no clarification. So, next time you find yourself about to utter "No homo!" just think about why you're saying it. What exactly are you afraid will happen if you don't? Will your reputation be corrupted forever if you don't add those two little words? Will you "defend your manliness" and let your homophobia and insecurities get in the way? If you decide to say "No homo," just remember this article. If it doesn't make any sense in the context of your conversation, then don't waste your breath. In addition, "No homo" is terribly offensive. It has a homophobic ring to it, almost like it is derived from a fear of being associated with homosexuals. Simple as that. — Kristen Beal for The Gateway at The University of Nebraska at Omaha HEALTH Many alternatives exist to chemically-altered dairy milk For those of us who grew up in America we have been taught from an early age that we need dairy products in order to be healthy. The "Got Milk?" campaign is famous for having celebrities model a milk mustache, with a catchy slogan asserting that milk is essential to be healthy. Claiming that rbST (which is in all milk unless it specifically states otherwise) is safe based on these facts alone, however, is misguided. According to an article published last year in the Ice Cream Reporter, a industry publication, rbST is banned in Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and is also opposed by groups including Breast Cancer Action, American Nurses Association, Ben & Jerry's and Walmart, to name a few. One of the most troubling controversies (that is heavily disputed) is whether or not it is safe to use rbST (recombinant bovine somatotropin), which according to an article published in Hoover Digest, a magazine published at Stanford University, is a protein that increases the amount of milk each cow produces by nearly a gallon a day. The author, Henry I. Miller, asserts that over 120 studies have been conducted stating that the hormone is indeed safe. In the past several years, however, milk has become the target of several controversies, causing many health-conscious consumers to turn toward organic dairy or dairy alternatives like almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, or hemp milk, (all of which are excellent substitutions and can be found at any grocery store nowadays). Is it logical to think that America is right while four countries and numerous organizations are wrong? Is it worth it to risk your health just to have a cheaper glass of milk? If you have your doubts regarding the safety of rbST why not avoid the controversy The Conscientious Consumer US BY SARAH GROSS sgross@kansan.com all together and opt for dairy substitutions, which are actually much healthier. The nutrients found in cow's milk can be easily replaced with non-dairy substitutes. (Not surprising as 75% of the world is lactose intolerant, and if it were indeed true that we needed cow's milk to be healthy that would mean that 75% of the world would simply be out of luck). Silk's almond milk is my favorite substitute, because it tastes delicious while providing essential nutrients such as calcium, vitamin E, and vitamin D. Silk's original flavored almond milk has only 60 calories per glass and has no cholesterol, saturated fat, or pus (yes, pus is in the typical glass of cow's milk), and has 7 grams of sugar, opposed to $1\%$ cow's milk's 13 grams. Another big bonus for students is that almond milk has a much longer shelf life, lasting for a month or longer, opposed to about a week for cow's milk. Other good dairy substitutes include Almond Dream Ice cream, Daiya Cheese (which tastes great melted), tofu汁 sour supreme, and Smart Balance Lite butter substitute. Rather than jumping on America's "Got Milk?" bandwagon, with celebrities modeling their creamy white milk mustaches, try buying a non-dairy alternative. If you just can't do without traditional cow's milk, buy organic milk that states it is rbST-free. Gross is a sophomore from Lindsborg in journalism and international studies. Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com Chatterbox "Mr. Katz, did you by chance look up the number of gun deaths that result from suicide? You'll be surprised to find out that the majority of US gun deaths are suicides. Does having a gun make someone more likely to make that decision?" How about the annual number of gun deaths that are acts of self defense? How about the number of murders in Britain rather than the number of murders by gun?

New Hope Medical Ministry is a free clinic offered by New Life in Christ Church at 6th and Vermont. MINISTRY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Sale said. The clinic will not only provide low cost medical services for students but also hands-on experience for student volunteers. The volunteers will learn how to draw blood, administer small medical tests such as a strep test and perform clerical duties, Sale said. Students interested in volunteering can contact the church by phone at 785-832-1845. The clinic will be open to patients every Wednesday. Sale said the clinic would have 18 to 20 appointments with patients, plus two to four walk-in patients, each day. The clinic will also provide counseling services concerning depression, family and relationship issues. All services are free and open to anyone. "We figure that's between us and God," Sale said.

Edited by Tim Dwyer MIDDLE EAST Fears squelch hope of nuclear talks That proposal was billed by the NPT conference as a potential breakthrough and - despite Israeli objections - was backed by the U.S. and other nuclear powers for the first time since Arab nations began pushing for such a gathering 15 years ago. ASSOCIATED PRESS The latest failure to bring the opposing sides to the table casts further doubt on plans to hold more substantive talks in two years on such a zone, as proposed by the U.N's 189-nation Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty conference four months ago. VIENNA — Tensions between Israel and Islamic nations have scuttled plans by the U.N. atomic watchdog agency to convene talks this year on a Mideast free of nuclear weapons, according to a document shared with The Associated Press. Since, then, traditional tensions have been exacerbated by a push by Arab nations to force the Jewish state to allow international inspections of its secretive nuclear program. Islamic nations have long called for Israel — which is widely believed to have nuclear arms — to open its program. Confidential documents made available to the AP in August showed increasing pressure ahead of International Atomic Energy Agency meetings later this month, with Arab nations lobbying even Washington and other Israeli allies to drop their traditional backing of the Jewish state's nuclear secrecy and vote for a resolution calling on it to allow IAEA inspections. A report from IAEA chief Yukiya Amano prepared for those meetings and made available Wednesday to the AP reflects the tense situation. The report, which is being circulated internally to the IAEA's 35 board member nations, acknowledges the failure to carry out a meeting planned for this year on a Mideast nuclear free zone due to "a long-standing and fundamental difference of views between Israel ... and the other States of the Middle East region." Responses from Israel and Islamic nations make it clear "that currently there is no convergence of views on convening" such talks, said the report, dated Aug. 31 and entitled "Application of IEA Safeguards in the Middle East." Israel, the U.S. and their allies consider Iran the region's greatest proliferation threat, fearing that Tehran is trying to achieve the capacity to make nuclear weapons despite its assertion that it is only building a civilian program to generate power. But Islamic nations insist that Israel is the true danger in the Middle East. WATER (CONTINUED FROM 1A) it has a finite availability." Limiting the sediment that goes into rivers would help delay Clinton Lake's expiration date, but so would conserving the use of its water. "If students at KU were more aware of that, and were aware of remedies of that, like conserving, they would be very likely to speak up and give some effort to solve those problems," said Marshall Wetta, a junior from Silver Lake. While it won't solve the problem of either rejuvenating local reservoirs or finding another source of water, students can help prolong the use of water from Clinton Lake and other reservoirs by conserving the amount of water they use. "That's something, as citizens, we've got to come to understand. Managing our water resources is going to take more of an effort," Huggins said.

The Onondaga County Sheriff said Stanley Lostumbo jumped into a dump truck Tuesday night after being accused of stealing from vending machines at a mall. Police pursued the truck on a highway, through backyards and school grounds and down railroad tracks at speeds up to 65 mph before stopping it at a barricade in East Syracuse. Police said Lostumbo reversed the truck and hit a sheriff's vehicle and officers fired, apparently striking Lostumbo in the shoulder. He was briefly hospitalized for minor injuries. Deputies were questioning Lostumbo. It was not clear if he had a lawyer. Associated Press ENGINEERING Engineers take studies to China BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com Hot, humid and short on blondes are just a few ways Markie McConkey described her recent trip to China. McConkey, a senior from Lincoln, Neb., went to China as part of a senior project established through the Self Engineering Leadership Fellows program. The SELF program was begun three years ago by former engineering alum Madison "Al" and Lila Self. Program coordinator Lucy McGilley said the Purpose of the SELF program is to find students with a passion or fire in their belly and help them develop skills in engineering as well as skills outside of the discipline. Fourteen senior level engineers in the school of engineering went on the trip that spanned the week of Aug. 8 through Aug. 17. McConkey said when the students were considering where to go that would enable them to learn the most and give back the most to the University, they decided on the World's Fair in Shanghai. "We thought 'why not shoot for the stars?" MeConkey said.

They are working on a feature for the University engineering expo and McGilley said they will be making presentations to donors and the Dean's advisory board, as well as have an exhibit at the high school design competition. McGilley said the trip and the experience only encompassed a small part of what the overall project entails. Joey Meyer, a senior from St. Louis, is in charge of the documentaries from the trip. encompass all pillars of the SELF program, as well as all disciples of engineering. "We thought 'why not shoot for the stars?" The $31,000 price tag was paid for through donor support and fundraising. One of the sponsors for the trip, Robert Peebler, is an engineering alum who is currently the CEO of Ion Geophysical in Beijing. Students attended a banquet hosted by Peebler's company while there. MARKIE MCCONKEY Senior from Lincoln, Neb. Meyer said the first presentation is Oct. 23 and other documentaries and multimedia aspects of the project will be visible at ProjectShanghai.net and on Youtube. "I really enjoyed not only meeting with these international companies and seeing places like Google Beijing, but I also enjoyed the business dinners and the etiquette," McConkey said. "It was interesting and gave me a new McGilley said that in going on this trip, the students and she wanted to make sure that they were able to bring back as much as they could to the University and to the donors that believed in and supported their project. "We want to give back to students and anyone that could have a possible interest in engineering and what we are doing to help inspire them to see that we have these really neat career fields and that you can really be a part of this great change that is going to be a part of the world." McGilley said. Meyer said in the presentations they are primarily focused on how they can translate what they've learned as far as international business goes and really what the expo brought which is engineering topics and innovations. "As future engineers, it was great to see what new innovations are going on around the world," McConkey said. Within the projects, Meyer said he wanted to be able to convey a sense of global opportunity, especially in engineering. "The engineer's role goes far beyond just the United States and we're hoping to bring back that evidence of global opportunity back to the University and say this is what we've learned and this is where we're going." Meyer said.

He is one of many unproven starting quarterbacks in the new-look Big 12 Unheralded quarterbacks featured in Big 12 ASSOCIATED PRESS Quick, name a Big 12 quarterback being mentioned as a Heisman Trophy candidate. Sam Bradford is now in the NFL after the 2008 Heisman winner's injury-shortened time at Oklahoma. So is Colt McCoy, a two-time Heisman finalist who set the NCAA record with 45 victories at Texas. Zac Robinson? Todd Reesing? Nope, they're gone too after becoming the most prolific passers at their schools and helping Oklahoma State and Kansas get into the Top 10. "A few years ago, we had the perfect storm with quarterbacks," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "I always said at that time it was hard to imagine that any league could have the number of high-level quarterbacks that there were. I think it's a little bit more typical now." This season, most of the Big 12 quarterbacks are relative unknowns outside the conference — and sometimes even outside their own schools. "From a competitor's standpoint, I'm a little excited about it that we don't have those high-profile guys to worry about and lose sleep over," Iowa state coach Paul Rhoads said. Texas coach Mack Brown is careful to separate experience from talent. "We've got some great quarterbacks maybe that haven't played as much as that little run on quarterbacks we had," he said. "But I think at the end of the year we'll be talking about how great this quarterback group is." The league's most experienced starters are Iowa State's Austen Arnaud and Texas A&M's Jerrod Johnson. Both seniors have started 23 games. There is dynamic dual-threat quarterback Robert Griffin at Baylor. But he is coming back from right knee surgery that limited him to only three games last year after his sensational freshman season in 2008 (2,934 total yards, 28 touchdowns). The 6-foot-5 Johnson, a receiver before being moved back to quarterback, led the Big 12 with 314 total yards per game and threw 30 touchdowns last season. But the Aggies still had a losing season. Coach Art Briles won't be able to blow the whistle Saturday night to keep Sam Houston State defenders from tackling Griffin, who got a medical redshirt and is still considered a sophomore. "When he's out there and the bullets are live, he'll know how to respond," Briles said. "Robert has good instincts and great talents to go with it." The Longhorns' Garrett Gilbert got shoved onto the national stage after McCoy got hurt on the first drive of the BCS national championship game. Gilbert threw the only two TDs — and only four interceptions — of his freshman season going 15-of-40 passing against Alabama. Gilbert gets his first start for fifth-ranked Texas on Saturday. FOOTBALL Webb has chance at playing time Coach Turner Gill told assembled media that he had not ruled out playing quarterback Jordan Webb in Saturday's game. Gill said Webb could play in the first half, but did not elaborate on what that situation would be. "We haven't decided at this point in time," Gill said. "We'll decide here at the end of the week. It could be a situation where [playing Webb] wouldn't be at the end of the game. We've talked about possibly putting him in the game, maybe in the first half ... Again, This came a day after Gill said he was most looking forward to seeing Pick play this we're still discussing that." Webb Saturday. It had seemed that Pick had a steady hold on the quarterback position, but it now looks like Webb may still be MLB competing for the job. Gill is not available to speak to the media between now and Saturday's game. Tim Dwyer Cubs' rookie picks up first MLB win ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO Thomas Diamond received a game ball and a beer shower after his first major league win. “That was very scary,” Tabata said. I saw the ball and I thought Diamond relieved injured starter Tom Gorzelanny and was part of a strong effort by the Chicago Cubs' bullpen Wednesday in a 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. "It's always nice to get the first. I wish it would have happened a little sooner," Diamond said. "Now, hopefully we can go on and win a few more." Kosuke Fukudome had three hits, including a go-ahead double, during a perfect day at the plate for the Cubs. Carlos Marmol escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning and finished for his 25th save in 30 chances. Gorzelanny was knocked out in the third when Jose Tabata lined a shot off his right hand. The left-hander departed for X-rays. it was his face. In the moment I froze. I hope he's better. I feel bad for that." After Gorzelanny left, five Cubs relievers combined to allow four hits the rest of the way. "Now that I've moved from the rotation to the bullpen, hopefully I can find a spot there and contribute," the 27-year-old Diamond said. Diamond (1-3) gave up two runs and two hits in 1 2-3 innings. Marmol walked in a run with two outs in the eighth but struck out Tabata to preserve a 5-3 lead. James McDonald (2-5) took the loss, allowing three runs and eight hits in five innings. Diamond, called up from Triple-A Iowa on Aug. 2, struck out three and walked one. The Cubs won two of three in the series and finished 5-10 against last-pace Pittsburgh this season. "For most of the game he wasn't able to get the ball down like he usually does and it cost him a little bit," Pirates manager John Russell said. MLB Effective Burnett carries Yankees to 4-3 victory over lowly Athletics ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A.J. Burnett bounced back from an awful August by pitching six effective innings and the New York Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 4-3 Wednesday night for their fifth straight win. The Yankees held their one-game lead over Tampa Bay in the AL East. They'll go for a four-game sweep Thursday with CC Sabathia on the mound. Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a two-run homer for Oakland and Brett Anderson only allowed one earned run, but the Asell to 1-8 against New York this season. Burnett (10-12) went 0-4 in five starts since his last win, July 28 at Cleveland. He came off a particularly rough outing in which he lasted 3 1-3 innings and tied a season high with eight earned runs, leaving him with a 7.80 ERA in August. Burnett got September off to a stronger start, allowing three runs and striking out eight. Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth for his 28th save. He struck out Kurt Suzuki with a runner on second to end it. Joba Chamberlain allowed a pair of two-out singles in the seventh, but Suzuki flied out to end the threat. Kerry Wood also put two runners on with two outs, retiring Raiai Davis to end the eighth. Mark Ellis had three hits for the AS, who gave up 20 runs in the first two games of the series against New York, but couldn't capitalize when they held the Yankees to four. Anderson (3-6) has lost four of his last five starts. He gave up eight hits in six innings. The Yankees got a couple of breaks in their three-run second inning that made it 4-0. because Davis stole third base after he doubled. Curtis Granderson and Eduardo Nunez both hit one-out singles just over shortstop Cliff Pennington's glove. Coco Crisp's RBI groundout that made it 4-3 in the fifth was possible Teixeira hit a long RBI double to left-center in the first inning. The Yankees scored three runs in the first the night before and have scored in the first inning in 10 of their last 15 games. Granderson came home as Derek Jeter was safe at first when Anderson bobbled the catch while covering the bag on a grounder to second. Mark Teixeira's two-run single to left bounced just to the left of third baseman Kouzmanoff's glove and just to the right of Pennington's. MLB Longoria plays hero in Rays 2-1 victory Price (16-6) allowed a solo homer to John Buck, a double and two infield singles over eight innings. The 25-year-old left-hander walked two and struck out seven before Rafael Soriano worked out of a jam in the ninth for his major league-leading 40th save in 42 opportunities. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Evan Longoria snapped an eighth-inning tie with an RBI single, leading the Tampa Bay Rays past the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 Wednesday night for David Price's club-record 16th victory. Tampa Bay remained a game behind the first-place Yankees in the AL East. New York beat Oakland 4-3 for its fifth straight victory. Sean Rodriguez homered, tripled and singled off Blue Jays starter Shaun Marcum. Rodriguez was denied a chance to go for the cycle when he was intentionally walked to load the bases after Longoria delivered his go-ahead hit off Scott Downs. Ben Zobrist began the winning rally by drawing a one-out walk from Shawn Camp (4-3). Carl Crawford singled and Longoria, who has 17 RBIs in his past 18 games, hit a hard grounder between shortstop and third base to snap a 1-all tie. The Blue Jays threatened in the ninth. Vernon Wells tripled with one out, but Soriano struck out Adam Lind and got Buck to fly out on the warning track in left field to end the game. Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon tinkered with the lineup — inserting rookie Desmond Jennings in right field, starting catcher Dioner Navarro and using former Colorado Rockies All-Star Brad Hawpe as the designated hitter in his AL debut. The trio went 1 for 7 with four strikeouts against Marcum. The victory gave Tampa Bay its 11th consecutive home series win over Toronto, when hasn't won a series at Tropicana Field since April 2007. Price limited the Blue Jays to Mike McCoy's third-inning infield single until Buck hit his 15th homer leading off the fifth.

Her coverage and constant vocal support helped lead to the Jayhawks' 25-20 win in the first set, 25-10 win in the second set, and 25-16 in the third set, leading to an overall victory for the team. Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington said that Riley has added a mentality the layhawks have not had since she's been here. "She is constantly talking," Garlington said. "I always hear her voice behind me and it gives me a lot of confidence because I know she's there and playing hard." Riley is also known to have a curious ritual before the game, pumping the team up with random screaming. focused." "Usually a lot of it is jibber-jabber, but it gets people going and fired up as opposed to it being silent on the court." Riley said, "A lot of times I am just yelling out things that I see and I feel it gets a lot of the team more engaged and Riley has played like a veteran early in the season, recording 20 digs in the season opener. It is evident that she has played since she was in fifth grade — volleyball, to her, comes naturally. Riley had a total of three assists and seven digs in the game against UMKC this Tuesday. "I thought it was a good game, a lot of intensity." Riley said. "We started a little slow — we always talk about setting the tone and how that is our job — but we came out in the second game with a lot more energy." KANSAS Coach Bechard said Riley "is extremely competitive and focused. She passed well tonight. She didn't have that many opportunities but she is leading the team in digs. She serves very well; we are very excited about a freshman coming in to help us like that." Freshman defensive specialist Brianne Riley makes an off-balance bump Tuesday at Horeksi Family Athletics Center. Riley recorded seven digs in the match against UMKC. Riley is a diverse player — often laughing in between sets, but serious during play. "I think she is a spark that if it is quiet on the court you can always hear her. It's never dead, She never lets the energy sink low," teammate Allison Mayfield said. "She's always picking everybody up [...]. Both verbally we can hear her on Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN the court and she is a great player in the back row." Riley is not limited to assistance during play, however. Her positive effect shows off the court Whether it is approaching and apologizing to a fan who was hit with a shanked ball or picking up the extra balls after warm-ups, Riley is a very positive player. She is hoping to get involved in SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Community). "All the athletes come together and participate in more than sports," she said. "It is about being more than an athlete and being active in the community" — Edited by Tim Dwyer MLB Fading Cardinals fall to Astros 5-2 ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — Hunter Pence hit a three-run homer and the Houston Astros completed a sweep of St. Louis with a 5-2 victory Wednesday, handing the slumping Cardinals their fifth straight defeat. The fading Cardinals, who have lost 13 of 16, began the day seven games behind first place Cincinnati in the NL Central. The Reds were scheduled to host Milwaukee later. Nelson Figueroa (4-2) pitched out of two bases-loaded jams and lasted five innings for the win. Brandon Lyon worked a perfect ninth for his 11 save in 12 chances, sealing Houston's 14th victory in 20 games. Shut out 3-0 the previous two nights, St. Louis snapped an 18-inning scoreless streak on Matt Holiday's 24th homer in the first for a 2-0 lead. Jeff Suppan (1-7) was activated from the disabled list before the game and allowed only one hit until the Astros rallied in the fifth. Brett Wallace drew a leadoff walk and went to third on Jason Castro's double. Pinch-hitter Brian Bogusevic hit a grounder to first baseman Albert Pujols, who threw out Wallace at the plate. Michael Bourn hit a sacrifice fly and Jeff Keppinger walked before Pence's go-ahead homer. Bourn singled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. He scored on Carlos Lee's sacrifice fly. Higueroa escaped a jam in the third, when Suppan led off with a walk and Skip Schumaker singled. Aaron Miles and Pujols flied out and Figueroa hit Hollday with a pitch to load the bases before Jon Jay grounded into a force play. St. Louis loaded the bases again in the fifth on singles by Miles and Jay and an intentional walk to Holliday with two outs. Ex-Astro Pedro Feliz fled out to end the threat. Figueroa allowed two runs and six hits. Five relievers combined to hold the Cardinals to one hit over the final four innings. Schumaker doubled to start the game but was thrown out on the bases when Miles hit a comebacker to Figueroa. Pujols fouled out before Holliday's homer. EARN UP TO $50 TODAY, $100 THIS WEEK!

The 2010 football season is set to kick off this Saturday evening with your Jayhawks hosting North Dakota State at Kivisto Field in Memorial Stadium at 6:00 pm. Our season continues with six more home games featuring outstanding competition between Big 12 opponents and non-conference teams. So come on students and jump on board for some exciting KU Football! WE WANT YOU! WE NEED YOU! Cheer loud, but do it with class. Please have respect for our opponents and their fans; as well as the fans around you and your team! YOUR #1 HIBACHI SPOT IN LAWRENCE On behalf of the football players and staff, we know you can be the biggest reason to establish a loud, continuous college atmosphere throughout the game in Memorial Stadium. COLLEGE FOOTBALL New Big 10 divisions split Michigan and Ohio State, but keep 'The Game' YOUR #1 HIBACHI SPOT IN LAWRENCE 785.638.3399 KOBE across from Dillions on eighth ASSOCIATED PRESS The Big Ten announced its divisional breakdown for football Wednesday night, and Ohio State and Michigan will be in different six-team divisions when the league expands to 12 members in 2011. KOBE Any Michigan man will tell you, there is nothing quite like beating Ohio State. Every Buckeye agrees, a win over that team from up North is priority No. 1. Well, now Michigan and Ohio State could get two chances in a season to beat their fiercest rival. What would Woody and Bo have thought of that? A rematch! Neither division has been named, but they break down like this: Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota and Northwestern in one; Ohio State, Penn State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue and Indiana in the other. Commissioner Jim Delany said creating football divisions with competitive balance was the top priority and No.2 was maintaining a cross-division rivalry game for each team. Michigan and Ohio State will be a cross-divisional rivalry and continue to play each other each year in the Big Ten regular-season finale, as they have since 1943. That means they could wind up meeting again for the conference championship a week or two later. Not in the Big House or the Horseshoe but on a neutral field. Maybe even a domed stadium. Big Ten teams will play eight conference games the next two seasons, but that could increase in the future. "Basically, we decided to go with the final season date because that was a way to maintain the tradition," Delany said. "The conference has a wonderful history of not only rivalry games but also trophy games." "The athletic directors have the intention of exploring a ninth conference game in 2015;" Delany said. "We felt like we could do equal competition and tradition with this move." Delany said. For now there are no plans for divisions in other sports. Delany said he sees no benefit to basketball divisions, but if conference leaders decide they want them, they would have to be drawn differently. The expansion put the conference in a delicate balancing act, trying to add to its coffers without diminishing its rich traditions, none bigger than Michigan vs. Ohio State. Nebraska will join the Big Ten as its 12th team next year, allowing the conference to split into two divisions and add a lucrative championship game. The first Big Ten football championship game will be played in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium, the indoor home of the NFL's Colts. "I'm very pleased that we came out of this with protected rivalries that will go on permanently with Ohio State and Michigan State," Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon told The Associated Press. "We'll play Ohio State in the last game of the regular season, following a tradition that has lasted for decades. And if we both earn the right, we can play the Buckeyes again in the Big Ten championship game." Speculation that Michigan-Ohio State game could be pushed out of its end-of-season spot sent some fans into an outrage. "We heard the fans, there's no doubt about their voices mattered," Delany said. For years, the matchup known simply as "The Game" in Big Ten country has been the conference's signature rivalry, one of the most storied and tradition-rich in all of sports. The Buckeyes and Wolverines have played 106 times since 1897. Twenty-two times "The Game" has determined whether Ohio State or Michigan won the Big Ten championship. While "The Game" will never be the same since the title won't be at stake in the regular season, the league is still banking on it to be a big deal. **COMMENTS** KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 / SPORTS 9A QUOTE OF THE DAY "I would like for them to be making sure to wear blue, making sure they come to the game energized and be ready to go with some enthusiasm." Football coach Turner Gill to the fans FACT OF THE DAY The Big 12 leads all conferences with seven appearances in the BCS National Championship Game. TRIVIA OF THE DAY Big12sports.com Q: What Big 12 team leads the nation in consecutive home victories? A: Oklahoma with 30. — Big12sports.com BIG 12 SPORTS Recruit fails to meet academic standards Prized Missouri basketball recruit Tony Mitchell has been ruled academically ineligible for the 2010-2011 season, Rivals.com's Jerry Meyer reported Wednesday. Mitchell did not meet Missouri's academic standards in time to enroll at the school, ending his freshman campaign before it could begin. Mitchell was the 12th-ranked recruit in the country, according to Rivals, and would likely have started as a small forward for the Tigers in 2010. He will likely play overseas in Europe for a season before taking his game to the NBA. Mizzou RB officially removed from squad Missouri announced Wednesday that starting tailback Derrick Washington was "permanently suspended" after allegedly sexually assaulting his tutor. Washington has been Missouri's feature back since the graduation of Tony Temple prior to his sophomore season. He exploded onto the scene as a sophomore, running for 1,078 yards and 17 touchdowns, earning second-team all-conference honors. He regressed a bit in his junior year, running for 865 yards and 10 touchdowns, but was still expected to be one of the top runners in the Big 12. Without Washington, the Tigers are untested at running back, with sophomore Kendial Lawrence jumping to the top spot and DeVion Moore — currently on the disabled list — listed as the primary backup. Freshmen Henry Josey and Marcus Murphy — both undersized at 180 pounds — will fill the gaps. Washington's scholarship will not be terminated for as long as he stays at Mizzou. Tim Dwyer MORNING BREW Allow players to keep their own styles really enjoy when professional athletes express themselves through unique hairstyles or by through unique hairstyles or by reaching out to their fans in clever and funny ways. That is why I always find it disheartening whenever I hear of a team asking its newest member to trim his signature hairstyle. The most recent example of this is the Chicago White Sox having Manny Ramirez cut down his dreadlocks. For as long as I can remember watching him, Manny's dreads have been a symbol of his happ-go-lucky lifestyle. Manny is not the first example of this happening. For most of his career Randy Johnson looked like he had just stepped out of some kind of time machine, with a mullet and mustache combo that would make Hulk Hogan burst with pride. In 2005 he joined the New York Yankees and was told to clean up, and the mullet was no more. The next year the Evil Empire struck again. This time BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Johnny Damon, known to Red Sox fans as Jesus or Captain Caveman because of his long brown hair and beard, showed up in a Yankees uniform looking like a typical Manhattan metrosexual. I see no point in management telling players what they can and can't do. These athletes are, at their most basic levels, entertainers. When I watch a sporting event I do it because I enjoy it. It is entertaining. I don't want owners driving up ticket prices on me and simultaneously taking the fun out of it. This is why I love what Chad Ochocinco represents. He may be considered a distraction by purists, but he does what he does for his fans. At the end of last season, Ochocinco started to talk about how he wanted to change his name again. This time to Chad Hachi Go (85 in Japanese) to honor his Japanese fans. Then there are athletes like Troy Polamalu, the Pittsburgh Steelers' safety. Polamalu grows out his hair to honor his Samoan heritage. But he also has fun with it. Last year he starred in commercials for Head & Shoulders Shampoo. In the commercial, he was being interviewed about the game but would always answer attributing his success to the shampoo products. Recently he insured his hair for one million dollars in case anything should happen to it. When athletes go out of their way to entertain us, it reminds us that they are not robots but people, too. Honestly. THE MORNING BREW doesn't everyone (except Giants fans) like Peyton Manning more than his little brother Eli because Peyton puts out funny commercials and hosts SNL while Eli always comes off as awkward in interviews? I take comfort in knowing the superstar I am watching on TV has at least some semblance of a personality, even if it's just for show. USA BASKETBALL United States defeats Iran 88-51 in an apolitical matchup — Edited by David Cawthon ASSOCIATED PRESS In a basketball arena, not so much. "For me, it's a normal game," Iran captain Mahdi Kamrany said. The United States won it easily, earning a top seed in the knockout round of the world championship with an 88-51 victory Wednesday in the first meeting between the countries with a history of contentious relations. "We just respected their basketball team and we just played a basketball game," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "There's no political aspect in my mind in the ballgame." The U.S. team, which downplayed the political aspect of the game, methodically pulled away in the first half, wearing down the Asian champions with its depth and athleticism. Kevin Love scored 13 points and Kevin Durant 12 for the Americans (4-0),who will meet the fourth-place team from Group A in the round of 16. After playing his starters for most of the second half of a 70-68 victory over Brazil on Monday, Krzyzewski went to the bench early in this one, with the Americans shooting 58 percent and scoring 23 points off turnovers in the easy victory. Hamed Haddadi scored 19 points for Iran (1-3) and Arsalan Kazemi had 14. "I'm very happy, I played against the best team in the world." Kamrany said. The tensions between the nations' governments provided the backdrop off the court, with a group of fans sitting near mid-court before the game holding U.S. and Iran flags and a sign reading "PEACE" in between. The countries have feuded for decades and their relations have deteriorated in recent years, with the United States supporting sanctions against Iran for continuing with programs it believes could be used to create nuclear weapons. The only sparring on the floor was a playful bump between Haddadi and U.S. forward Rudy Gay, teammates with the NBAs Memphis Grizzlies. "We should leave politics to the politicians," U.S. center Tyson Chandler said. "We're here to play basketball." The U.S. team tried to keep the focus on the floor, with Krzyzewski saying he had played in Iran in the 1970s with an Armed Forces team and had great respect for the country. Krzyzewski was answering a question about turnovers in the postgame news conference when he noticed Iran coach Veselin Matic to his left nodding in agreement. "That's the first level of diplomacy. That's one thing we're in agreement with," Krzyzewski joked. There's no rivalry on the basketball court, where the nations had never met in Olympic or world championship play. The Iranian national team even came to Utah two years ago at the invitation of the NBA to play in a summer league as preparation for the 2008 Olympics. "That's one of the beautiful things about sports," U.S. center Lamar Odom said. "If you think about the history of sports, you take people from different cultures, from different beliefs and bring them together. Sports is the one thing that can kind of bring people together and have a great atmosphere. It was great playing a game like this." MLB And in a nod to the Iranian supporters in Istanbul — which included minister of sports Ali Saeedlou earlier in the tournament — dancers were ordered to cover up for their performances during the game. Islam prohibits women from exposing their skin in public, and Iranian officials had turned their backs when the dancers performed in earlier games. ASSOCIATED PRESS Phillies take Dodgers, 5-1 LOS ANGELES — Roy Oswalt pitched one-hit ball into the seventh and the Philadelphia Phillies used leadoff homers by Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino in the first two innings to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 on Wednesday. The Dodgers managed only three hits in support of Clayton Kershaw and didn't put up much of a struggle against Oswalt (10-13), who has been a valuable pennant-drive pickup for Philadelphia The right-hander, who turned 33 on Sunday, held Los Angeles hitless until Casey Blake lined a clean single to right field with two outs in the sixth after Oswaltd issued the fifth of his six walks. Two nights earlier, Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda no-hit the Phillies until Victorino got a one-out single in the eighth. Oswalt threw 115 pitches and struck out six. The three-time All-Star is 4-1 with a 1.90 ERA in seven starts since the Phillies acquired him in a trade with Houston on July 29 — including a 2-0 win over Los Angeles in which he pitched seven innings in his second start with Philadelphia. The last time he pitched at Dodger Stadium on July 17, 2009. Oswalt threw a four-hitter on six days' rest and won 8+1. The Dodgers got an unearned run in the eighth off Ryan Madson on James Loney's RBI single. But Madson minimized the damage by retiring Blake on an inning-ending, double-play. It's NOT too late...

VOLLEYBALL]8A FOOTBALL 2 Jerry Wanq/FILE PHOTO Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb hands the ball off to senior runningback Angus Quigley during a spring scrimmage. Quigley rushed for 309 yards in 2009 and scored three touchdowns. Jayhawk running backs work with complementing styles PAGE 10A BY MIKE VERNON AND BLAKE SCHUSTER mvernon@kansan.com bschuster@kansan.com A brusser and a burner, a pounder and a speedster, the dynamic running duo of Lawrence are setting up to be a highly touted weapon in coach Turner Gill's arsenal. Both Angus Quigley and DeShaun Sands will have the majority of carries in the lajhawks backfield during the 2010-11 campaign. Get Set: The 6-foot-1, 231 pound starter, Angus Quigley, looks to be the driving force of the dynamic jayhawk offense, by exploiting every hole and consistently busting through the line. The sixth year senior is ready to return to the running back position after winning the starting job, beating a deep, talented group of running backs. Quigley not only earned the respect of his coaches on the field, but when his teammates elected him as captain, it sent a message to Gill. "Angus is definitely a tremendous leader." Gill said. In his only full year playing at running back, Quigley was the second-leading rusher for the Orange-Bowl-winning team in 2008. With 309 yards gained on 59 carries, he led the team in yards per carry, averaging 5.2 yards every time he touched the ball. But it hasn't been all sunshine and roses with Quigley's tenure at Kansas, he had to miss the 2005 and 2006 season due to injury, and he was moved to linebacker in 2009 while dealing with well-publicized issues with former coach Mark Mangino. tive attitude rubs off on this year's squad. Quigley's comeback has a strong effect in the locker room, and the coaching staff has seen how his posi- "He can help guys to persevere," Gill said. While he has earned the respect of the coaching staff and players, the fans have yet to see what Quigley can do once the spotlight is on him. On the other half of the depth "They're very talented. Both of them are.And I am excited to see what they can do on game day" KALE PICK Sophomore Quarterback chart, the smooth cutting moves of redshirt freshman DeShaun Sands look to overwhelm the opponent on game day. Sands came into training camp looking to impress his coaches and earn his spot on the backfield. "I was determined to play this year," said Sands. Sands will be the No. 2 back on Gill's depth chart. Having two strong And play he will. running backs can only benefit the team. Even starting quarterback Kale Pick is eager to have the duo behind him, taking pressure off his throwing game. No doubt both Quigley and Sands are looking to end the season as the No. 1 back, and the increased competition will only make the Jayhawks a more dangerous team in the backfield. "They're very talented. Both of them are. And I am excited to see what they can do on game day," said Pick. Together, the bruiser and the burner will be working towards one goal: win. In the physical world of college football having tandem running backs is a necessary ingredient to a winning football team. Quigley and Sands are going to be ready to give it everything they've got come Saturday's this fall. Edited by Lisa Curran Go. COMMENTARY KU fans should expect greatness come game day Every day walking to and from classes I have the honor of passing Memorial Stadium. Yes, I do say honor because as a fan, it is exhilarating just to walk by and remember games from last year and to imagine the games to come. On my walks, I've noticed each day there have been new additions: more tents on the hill, more seat cushions added to reserved seats and parking barriers lying off to the side waiting for the first game Saturday night. As the stadium is preparing for the first game, there is one lingering question: is the team prepared? With new coaches, and a new roster, fans anxiously await their chance to see the team in action. In a press conference Tuesday, coach Turner Gill said the team was ready. "I do know our team is going to be competitive, they are going to be physical and we are going to play fast," Gill said. "Those are the things that we demanded of our football team as we went on through pre-season camp and as we go on to game week at this point now" This is comforting to hear from our new head coach and after meeting him last week for an interview I found him incredibly trustworthy. The facts still stand that we have new coaches and a new roster to which athletes have been added, lost and shuffled around between positions. I am no football coach, so I am inclined to trust their decisions on who should play with Kansas on their jersey, but like many other fans I feel an urgency to see that first victory on the schedule. The fan base was left hurting after close losses or really bad losses last season, and a horrific offseason, but some of those wounds can BY KATHLEEN GIER kgierl@kansan.com be assuaged with a simple victory to show our team is new and ready to take on anything. I went to Fan Appreciation Day to watch the football team's open practice and it was great to be back in the stands watching the Jayhawks play and a part of me hopes that this weekend does go as smoothly as a practice. I have watched my brother play baseball for years and one of the other kids on his team has this wonderful rambunctious grandmother who shouts things like, "Just play catch." Honestly, that is all I am looking for this first game. Nothing fancy unless we are up a couple touchdowns or it works in a perfect SportsCenter Top 10 way. Of course I will criticize plays where they should have run up the giant hole in the middle or not done a hand-off when the running back is stopped before the line of scrimmage, but that just comes with the game, and hopefully there are not too many of those to criticize. This campus thrives when our athletes are successful — when students can celebrate all weekend and pick up a Kansan on Monday just to remember how awesome Saturday was. I wish the fans and the team a smooth first game with many great plays, chimes of the Campanile and a good waving of the wheat after the victory. Edited by Michael Bednar Family doesn't distract Gill BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com Two people who helped shape who Turner Gill is as a coach, and as a man, will see him lead a team as head coach for the first time this Saturday: his parents. "My daughter being here, and then we are all here together as a family," Gill said. "You never dream of that actually happening." Their attendance only brings more meaning to the game for Gill, who is making his coaching debut for the Jayhawks Saturday against North Dakota State following four seasons at Buffalo. The last time his parents saw him on the field was back in 1983 when he was quarterback at Nebraska. Also in attendance will be Gill's daughter Jordan, a student at the University of Kansas. Jordan, by chance, was already attending the school when her father was hired. While the excitement surrounding his first game as coach could be seen as a distraction, Gill insists he is focusing solely on the Bison. "So that's what probably makes it a little bit more special."

Many students like Arikwe use their laptops on a frequent basis and consequently may develop negative health effects later in life. HOW TO AVOID LAPTOP-ITIS Sandra Bowman, physical therapy supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said adjusting your posture isn't hard. You basically do the opposite of what you've been doing, she said. — If you are using your laptop while lying in bed, make sure your head and back are supported. Be aware of your posture. Your head should be positioned so your ears line up with your shoulders. — If possible, sit at a table or desk — Take frequent breaks. Consider setting a timer. BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com A new medical condition is lurking on campus, in coffee shops and even in your own bedroom. Chances are, you're not immune either. "Laptop-itis" is a term coined by Kevin Carneiro, assistant professor of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. Laptop-itis stems from poor posture and includes neck pain, headaches, back pain and tingling fingers. The University does not track personal devices, so it isn't possible to know how many students own laptops. However, according to EDUCAUSE, a group that researches information technology at universities, about 75 percent of college students owned laptops in 2007. Sandra Bowman, physical therapy supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said students are already at risk for poor posture because of sustained sitting from class and studying.

Paul Lauter, the general editor of the anthology, spoke about the changing academics in American literature Wednesday night at the Kansas Union and yesterday morn ing at the Hall Center for Humanities. Lauter said his experiences with social movements in other anthologies to follow suit. "We widened the definition of what is called literature to include texts like blues lyrics, letters, nonfictional prose — generally seen as marginal to literary study," Lauter said during his lecture yesterday. More than 20 years after its initial publication, the anthology is used for American Literature I and II, and it has changed the way both students and professors approach the class.

Sorry guys, the secret's out — I can't cook. The contents of my refrigerator feature more condiments and beverages than actual food. I guess I shouldn't be surprised I didn't inherit a love for recipe-concocting. Growing up my family was constantly busy — fast food wrappers replaced home-cooked dinners. My roommates can tell you I cook no more than three things: Pasta, grilled cheese and... pasta. I can make sandwiches, but let's be honest, anyone who's packed a lunch in fifth grade can claim that skill. Moving off-campus last year invigorated my sense of adulthood and food production. However, I still seem to lack the time or patience to master a great meal — but I can peel off the plastic and pop a Lean Cuisine in the microwave. I only began to miss making my select food staples this summer, when living in a residence hall brought me back down to disgusting dorm food (this place had nothing on Mrs. E's). The dining philosophy seemed to be the more ingredients the better. For example, corn couldn't just be corn it was "Mexican" corn mixed with mysterious spices, additional vegetables and a few chunks of meat. With only the greasy grill selections and a pathetic salad bar to muse over for other options I began to cave, forgoring my prepaid meal allotments and purchasing chips and guac from Chipotle or a Subway sandwich on the way home from work. I felt bad about the additional money I was spending and the effort it took to walk five blocks, foraging for food along the way — but the stomach wants what it wants. Now that I've regained access to standard kitchen appliances, I try to use them more, though I still get bored and impatient when waiting for water to boil. The microwave is my savior (hello, latenight shifts in the newsroom), warming up an instant meal accompanied by classy plastic cutlery.

BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com A new medical condition is lurking on campus, in coffee shops and even in your own bedroom. Chances are, you're not immune either. "Laptop-itis" is a term coined by Kevin Carneiro, assistant professor of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. Laptop-itis stems from poor posture and includes neck pain, headaches, back pain and tingling fingers. The University does not track personal devices, so it isn't possible to know how many students own laptops. Sandra Bowman, physical therapy supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said students are already at risk for poor posture because of sustained sitting from class and studying. She also said However, according to EDUCAUSE, a group that researches information technology at universities, about 75 percent of college students owned laptops in 2007.

My girlfriend loves receiving oral sex and I love giving it to her. However, lately I can't seem to give her an orgasm with oral sex. I'm using the same moves, but ten minutes produces nothing. What should I be trying? A. I love your enthusiasm for oral sex, and I'm sure your girlfriend loves it, too. But be careful about the language you are using. You don't give someone an orgasm — you provide an environment possible for someone to achieve orgasm. Don't get down on yourself. My advice is to talk with your partner. Talking about the sex you two are having is a great way to get better at it. Preferences for oral sex can be very personal. Maybe while you are giving her oral sex, she can give you a running play-by-play about what areas and touches feel good. When you talk about sexual preferences, always focus on the positives. Tell your partner what you like, and let them know when they are giving you pleasure — I mean really let your partner know. Your enthusiasm will be remembered. So instead of saying, "I hate when you do this," say, "I love how it feels when you do this." You'd be amazed how talking about sex will often make it better. Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat? Send it to kansasinheat@yahoo.com or check out the Kansas in Heat Facebook page. There are a variety of factors that can keep someone from having an orgasm. It's possible that stress from school, work, parents, or anything else could keep your girlfriend from relaxing. You might not be responsible. On the other hand, extra knowledge can't hurt. I also worry about what you are doing when you think your girlfriend is close to climaxing. What I've discovered is that guys will often speed up or intensify their strokes or licking when they think the gal is close. This is often the opposite of what you want to do. Keep the sensations the same or even slow down a bit. First of all, ten minutes often isn't enough. Most studies show that the average woman needs around 15 to 20 minutes of oral sex to orgasm. If you are worried about getting tired, find a comfortable spot and relax your muscles. Also, a lot of guys tense up their tongue instead of keeping it wide and loose. This tension often results in you getting fatigued faster.

Edited by Lisa Curran The fan base was left hurting after close losses or really bad losses last season, and a horrific offseason, but some of those wounds can have new coaches and a new roster to which athletes have been added, lost and shuffled around between positions. I am no football coach, so I am inclined to trust their decisions on who should play with Kansas on their jersey, but like many other fans I feel an urgency to see that first victory on the schedule. This campus thrives when our athletes are successful — when students can celebrate all weekend and pick up a Kansan on Monday just to remember how awesome Saturday was. I wish the fans and the team a smooth first game with many great plays, chimes of the Campanile and a good waving of the wheat after the victory. Edited by Michael Bednar FOOTBALL Family doesn't distract Gill BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com Two people who helped shape who Turner Gill is as a coach, and as a man, will see him lead a team as head coach for the first time this Saturday: his parents. Their attendance only brings more meaning to the game for Gill, who is making his coaching debut for the Jayhawks Saturday against North Dakota State following four seasons at Buffalo. The last time his parents saw him on the field was back in 1983 when he was quarterback at Nebraska. Also in attendance will be Gill's daughter Jordan, a student at the University of Kansas. Jordan, by chance, was already attending the school when her father was hired. "So that's what probably makes it a little bit more special." Gill said. "My daughter being here, and then we are all here together as a family," Gill said. "You never dream of that actually happening." While the excitement surrounding his first game as coach could be seen as a distraction. Gill insists he is focusing solely on the Bison, who are coached by a man Gill has seen at many different times during his career. North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl played defensive back for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1977-79, the same school Gill played quarterback for 1980-83. "He has done an outstanding job." Gill said. "I know that his team will play hard. I know that they have been coached well. I know he is a very defensive-minded coach" Still, there is a chance the emotion of the moment could briefly get to Gill, who is not ruling out butterflies in the stomach as a pregame possibility. "My daughter being here, and then we are all here together as a family. You never dream of that..." and get focused on the job that needs to get done." Gill likely will not be the only one on the sidelines with pre-game jitters. Freshman running back TURNER GILL Coach "Once the first snap goes, then you are kind of ready to go, even though I'm not going to go out there and get hit and all those types of things," Gill said.

"I just get goose bumps thinking about it." Sands said, "In front of 50,000 fans, my first time; I'm just nervous I guess. It was a dream to play here growing up." Gill has one request for Jayhawk fans in attendance this Saturday, including his parents and Jordan. "I would like for them to make sure to wear blue, make sure they come to the game energized and be ready to go with some enthusiasm," Gill said.

She and the instructor, Skyy, would be jumping in tandem. Sky high! Jumping from a plane thousands of feet in the air may only take 10 seconds, but Anielle Hernandez, Houston, Tex., says it felt like 15 minutes. "Time really does move slow. That 10 second free fall felt the same as 15 minutes," she says. Hernandez focused through her goggles to watch the altitude watch on her wrist. She had to pull the chute at the right time. She did. JOSH HAFNER "You just float," she says. "I was looking everywhere. When you hit the ground the plane is still circling. You think, 'Hey, I just jumped from that.'" The small plane took off, with doors open on both sides. Strapped in with Skyy, Hernandez felt every bump and tussle of the ascent. Finally, they got the signal.

Don't let a hole in your bike tire put a hole in your plans. Learning to change your own flat tire helps save time and money says Derek Roesler, a mechanic at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, 804 Massachusetts St. He says the main problem is that students don't adequately fill up their tires with air, which causes flats and other dilemmas. Roesler offers easy instructions on how to fix a flat while on the go: + First, shift the bike into the outside gear and then pull the quick release to remove the tire from the bike frame. Release the rest of the air from the tire. + Use a bicycle tire lever to separate the tire from the rim of the wheel. + Remove the tire with your hands + Pull the old tube out and feel the inside of the tire to find the cause of the flat. Inspect the rim and make sure there is nothing on the tire. + There is a rim strip that covers the spokes, make sure it is covering all the spokes around it. + Lightly pump air into the new tube to allow for easy placement in the tire. Situate the tire around the inflation valve and pop the tire back on to the wheel. JON HERMES] + Fill the rest of the tire up with air. Changing your own flat will get you on your way in no time, that way "you don't need to haul a bike six miles to get a flat fixed," Roesler says. ...

From the Oregon Trail to Quantrill's Raid, the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, 402 N. 2nd St., has worked to keep this history alive and accessible. > It's not all about fast food and beer pong. GET SOME CULTURE // TOUR HISTORIC LAWRENCE Debbie White, manager of the Visitors Center, says the first place she directs visitors is the self-guided tours — the first one being Quantrill's Raid. After that she recommends touring the cemeteries, trails and house styles of Old West Lawrence. For access to these free maps made by Lawrence natives, just stop by the visitor's center. With Lawrence as the birthplace of the Civil War, White says students need to know where it got started. "They need to understand the rivalry with Missouri." So while the weather is still nice for sightseeing, jump in the car for a road trip. Most of the tours take about an hour. To save gas and get some exercise, walk the house styles of the Old West Lawrence tour. Along the way, the map gives details about the 17 different styles and where each house sits.

But once in the field, Nichols realized some skills are acquired through experience, not the classroom — most specifically, communication. She says she can't rely solely on her drawings to convey the design to clients. "My job is getting to that deeper level Nichols graduated from the University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in architecture. In her five years at school she gained a good skill set and passion for design. Nichols says the first year of work is like another year of school. But instead of professors, there were paying customers at her desk. Now in her seventh year at the firm, Nichols has worked on firehouses, downtown stores, a residential painting studio and the Oliver Hall remodeling.

When the timer dings, out comes her broccoli, laden with her special mix and cooked just how she likes it — a little crispy in the middle. "I'm nutritional about everything," Morrison, West Plains, Mo., junior, says. "I don't eat Ramen." Unlike Morrison's meal, Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutritional services at Watkins Memorial Health Center, has seen protein, vegetables, fruits and whole grains disappear from students' diets in college.

The microwave offers a simple and easy way to prepare meals. You can cook pasta, vegetables and even fruit at the touch of a button. Salane Ashcraft, Lawrence senior, remembers being one of those students with only a microwave to cook food. In his first years of school, Ashcraft gave up health for convenience and nuked the college regulars: Pizza Rolls, Easy Mac and Ramen noodles.

Instead, grab some lean ground beef, turkey sausages and turkey hotdogs. Adding vegetables can also feel like a hassle with microwave cooking. Students tell Chapman the inconvenience, not taste, is the problem with cooking corn and broccoli. Chapman helped her son eat his vegetables in college by introducing him to single serving howls of veggies. When buying the packs, students have to pay for the convenience, but it is easy. To save money, Chapman tells students to buy frozen bags of vegetables. Though fresh produce does offer more nutrition, Chapman says the misconception that frozen veggies lose all their nutritional value during processing is a lie. Fruit and microwaves may seem like distant friends, but the microwave can easily thaw a bag of frozen mixed fruit. One serving seems like a sad attempt at being healthy, but Chapman wants students to remember eating fruit every day—or any healthy food—adds up. After hearing expert advice, no college student has reason to continue unhealthy microwaving. Living in the residence and scholarship halls his first two year, Ashcraft limited his own healthy eating. Now, living in an apartment, he takes more initiative to stay away from prepackaged foods and cooks pasta and veggies in his Pyrex container, a quick and healthy alternative. By nuking just a few of the items Larsen and Chapman recommend, you can be on your way to kicking unhealthy eating habits with your microwave.

The last time his parents saw him on the field was back in 1983 when he was quarterback at Nebraska. Two people who helped shape who Turner Gill is as a coach, and as a man, will see him lead a team as head coach for the first time this Saturday: his parents. Also in attendance will be Gill's daughter Jordan, a student at the University of Kansas. Jordan, by chance, was already attending the school when her father was hired. "So that's what probably makes it a little bit more special." Gill said. "My daughter being here, and then we are all here together as a family," Gill said. "You never dream of that actually happening." While the excitement surrounding his first game as coach could be seen as a distraction, Gill insists he is focusing solely on the Bison, who are coached by a man Gill has seen at many different times during his career. the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1977-79, the same school Gill played quarterback for 1980-83. "He has done an outstanding job." Gill said. "I know that his team will play hard. I know North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl played defensive back for "My daughter being here, and then we are all here together as a family. You never dream of that..." that they have been coached well. I know he is a very defensive-minded coach." Still, there is a chance the emotion of the moment could briefly get to Gill, who is not ruling out butterflies in the stomach as a pregame possibility. Gill likely will not be the only one on the sidelines with pre-game jitters.

When removed, Silly Bandz spring back into their original form. The most recent addition to Meyer's jewelry collection just happens to be in the shape of a dinosaur — Fred Flintstone's Dino to be exact. She babysits children literally up to their elbows in Silly Bandz. With their help, she now has more than 20 of her own. "These kids are seven and I'm 20, but that's okay," Meyer says. Ranging from mermaids to cowboy hats to Justin Bieber shaped-bands, the original brand of molded rubber bands is stretching their image to appeal to a larger audience. The fad is no longer child's play says Rachel Ybarra, manager of The Toy Store, 936 Massachusetts St. "It's hilarious," Ybarra says. "At first I thought it was going to be only elementary school kids but now we have a lot of college kids looking for them." Ybarra sees the young and old in search of the elastic fun, but currently there's not a Silly Band in sight. The store completely sold out for the first time last week. The first shipment of 100 packs arrived in May and the most recent order called for one thousand. She compares the craze to the "Pog" phenomenon. "I think they will stick around for a while and EVERY GENERATION HAS SOME RANDOM JEWELRY CRAZE. then they're going to die hard," Ybarra says. CHAD STEELE CHAD STEELE WALMART TOY SALES ASSOCIATE WATERMARK Ybarra attributes part of the popularity to the economic downturn. The Toy Store carries 20 different themes and silly band fans can get 12 bracelets for $2.99. "They're relatively inexpensive and they're fun for everyone to collect," Ybarra says. "Especially the limited edition ones." The Toy Store has been out of the mystical creatures shapes for weeks, making the unicorn bracelet a valuable commodity. But not everyone is willing to barter. "I'm not a trader. I'm just a keeper," Maggie Brown, St. Louis, Mo., senior, says. Brown has seen what happens to Silly Bandz exchanges gone bad. She worked at an all-boys camp in Maine this summer and saw one camper trade every last one of his bands for a glow-in-the dark monkey. "I never thought about the fad, I just never took them off," Brown says. Chad Steele, Walmart toy sales associate, has seen silly band sales take off and says he's not surprised. He remembers when slap bracelets were "all the rage." "Every generation has some random jewelry craze," Steele savs. Like the slap bracelets, some elementary schools are trying to install a serious ban, insisting the bracelets stay at home. The University has yet to adopt the silly band bans. In fact, the KU Bookstore is waiting for their first shipment of the Jayhawk-shaped bands. "Rather than putting a tattoo on your face it's an easy way to show spirit," Brown says. "That may have to be my first silly band purchase." Students like Meyer and Brown prove that fashion, no matter how silly, can always stretch the imagination. photo illustrations | Karlie Brown phonics illustrations) *Karlie Brown* Elasticity of demand: With a plentiful supply of Silk Bands in various shapes and colors, accessorizing became a whole lot easier, and youthful.

(POLYVINYL) Kevin Barnes is at it again with more infectious psych pop on Of Montreal's latest effort. Fans of the group's last album will smile when the tambourine kicks off the funky opener, "I Feel Ya Strutter." Barnes, the band's mastermind and chief songwriter, has supposedly chosen to return to more traditional, acoustic instrumentation like live pianos, drums and strings. The result is a cheery blend of funk, dance and psychedelia-infused pop gems — a departure from the synthetic tunes of 2008's Skeletal Lamping. With a preference for what I think of as Barnes' golden-age sound (think Satanic Panic in the Attic and Sunlandic Twins), I have to say that this is much more appealing than the band's sound as of late. The lyrics are equally poignant and off-the-wall. On "Cocquet Coquette" Barnes eerily pleads, "I don't wanna catch you with some other guy's face under your eyelids," and then on "Godly Intersex" his deadpan mutter describes a strange scene: "A zombie's licking your window for black body radiation." and fluctuating fuzzes that dazzle the ears, especially with headphones. My immediate reaction was to connect it to the second half of 2007's Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, which features a few dance-synth numbers that laid the groundwork for the schizophrenic mania of Skeletal Lamping. Janelle Monae's soothing croon accompanies Barnes on "Our Riotous Defects" and "Enemy Gene," cementing the album's vague R&B/soul feel. Lyrics aside, False Priest is somewhat of a studio wonder. There are marvelous flutters Of Montreal has come a long way since 1997's Cherry Peel, but with False Priest Barnes retains the voyeuristic and masochistic tone that many have come to love so much: "I want somebody to frisk me, I want this night to destroy me."

For quality Midwest meat and potatoes, surrounded with TVs and a sports bar feel, Bigg's Barbeque, 2429 Iowa St., is a great place to round up your guy friends and watch the game. Favorites at Bigg's include pulled pork, ribs and Italian sausage, all for under $10. For those not wild about barbeque, the restaurant offers chicken fingers, burgers, soups and vegetarian-friendly items like hearty salads and veggie burgers. I started with fried pickles, one of my favorites at Bigg's. The pickles were warm and juicy on the inside and fried to perfection, going perfectly with barbeque ranch. Then I had a side salad and topped it off with chicken fingers. Sampling a friend's pulled pork, I was pleasantly surprised at how juicy the meat was. Even though I'm not a big barbeque fan, I was impressed with Bigg's Barbeque, though the chicken strips were a little dry. The restaurant has daily food or drink specials and also offers catering and family-style items. I will definitely go back for the fried pickles and a great atmosphere to watch the KU games.

Fans of bands like Ghostland Observatory, Passion Pit, or LCD Soundsystem will truly dig the vibes that Strange Weather, Isn't It? blows through your speakers. One thing I love about this album is that it seems very free and unconstrained, both looking to the past for guidance yet blazing a new trail for electronic music. III looks to the past with their track "The Hammer," which is made for the dance floor and only contains the lyrics "Don't stop / come on / don't stop / Ow!" which clearly visualizes the band's intentions when composing the song. ! ★★★ | ZACK MARSH funk, catchy riffs, sarcastic lyrics will all find new favorite tracks in this album. The single "Am/Fm" is one of the funkiest electronic songs I've ever heard and fits nicely as the album opener because it immediately makes you beg for more. This album also surprised me with how good it was because even though Warp Records is one of my favorite music labels, no previous !!! album has come close to exciting me. This album may disappoint hardcore electronic fans for being too soft but fans of MOVIE REVIEW // GET LOW > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. The tagline for *Get Low* reads, "A True Tall Tale." And yet, despite its strong performances and interesting premise, it doesn't quite live up to its own expectations. Everyone in Roane County, Tenn. has something to say about Felix Bush (Robert Duvall), the local hermit, urban legend and surprisingly spry curmudgeon. One day, Bush rides into town looking to buy himself a funeral and wants anyone with a story to tell about him to attend. The twist? Bush wants to be there himself, alive. Funeral directors Frank Quinn (Bill Murray) and Buddy Robinson (Lucas Black) agree to throw the "funeral party" and throw out all the stops to ensure a big turn out. However, it quickly becomes clear that Bush is no old fool, and might have a story of his own to tell. The acting in the film is wonderful, most notably Duvall, who so naturally embodies Get Low is beautifully shot by cinematographer David Boyd, and when combined with Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's folksy score, it truly feels like the audience has been dropped right in the Depression-era Midwest. Bush that you forget it's an act. Yet, despite being the central character, it's Bill Murray who steals the show. The film as a whole sports a very sly wit, but Murray leads the pack with his legendary languid deadpan. Unfortunately, for as strong as the film's performances are, the story itself begins to unravel about halfway through. The first half spends its time building the great mystery that is Felix Bush's past and then fails to provide anything particularly noteworthy. B. S.

Edited by Michael Bednar FOOTBALL Family doesn't distract Gill BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com Two people who helped shape who Turner Gill is as a coach, and as a man, will see him lead a team as head coach for the first time this Saturday: his parents. Their attendance only brings more meaning to the game for Gill, who is making his coaching debut for the Jayhawks Saturday against North Dakota State following four seasons at Buffalo. The last time his parents saw him on the field was back in 1983 when he was quarterback at Nebraska. Also in attendance will be Gill's daughter Jordan, a student at the University of Kansas. Jordan, by chance, was already attending the school when her father was hired. "So that's what probably makes it a little bit more special." Gill said. "My daughter being here, and then we are all here together as a family," Gill said. "You never dream of that actually happening." While the excitement surrounding his first game as coach could be seen as a distraction, Gill insists he is focusing solely on the Bison, who are coached by a man Gill has seen at many different times during his career. the Nebraska cornhuskers from 1977-79, the same school Gill played quarterback for 1980-83. "He has done an outstanding job," Gill said. "I know that his team will play hard. I know North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl played defensive back for and get focused on the job that needs to get done" Gill likely will not be the only one on the sidelines with pre-game jitters. Freshman running back "My daughter being here, and then we are all here together as a family. You never dream of that..." that they have been coached well. I know he is a very defensive-minded coach." Still, there is a chance the emotion of the moment could briefly get to Gill, who is not ruling out butterflies in the stomach as a pregame possibility. TURNER GILL Coach "Once the first snap goes, then you are kind of ready to go, even though I'm not going to go out there and get hit and all those types of things," Gill said. "But I get excited and I get passionate about the game." DeShaun Sands, who Gill expects to complement senior Angus Quigley this season, wants to show his coach i m m e d i a t returns on his plan to give him numerous caries this week. "I just get I just get goose bumps thinking about it." Sands said. "In front of 50,000 fans, my first time; I'm just nervous I guess. It was a dream to play here growing up." Gill has one request for Jayhawk fans in attendance this Saturday, including his parents and Jordan. "I would like for them to make sure to wear blue, make sure they come to the game energized and be ready to go with some enthusiasm," Gill said. Edited by Clark Goble V.

Local Burger's founder and owner, Hilary Brown, contacted the University's athletics vendor, Centerplate, with the idea. Within a couple of days, after delivering samples and testing the burgers on Memorial Stadium's grills, Brown received the OK she was looking for. "They seemed like a perfect fit, being local, fresh and gluten-free," Brown said. Rick Brown, general manager of Centerplate, said the staff was excited to add Local Burger to the list of local restaurants they work with. The organic veggie burger will add another vegetarian option to the menus at Kansas basketball, football and baseball games. The veggie burger will offer different nutritional benefits than a regular hamburger. It includes four organic vegetables and two organic grains and provides an array of vitamins and minerals that protein from meat does not provide. Margaret Tran, Local Burger's social media and promotions manager and recent graduate, said she thought many students would take advantage of the menu's new addition. "It's really exciting, because I know a lot of people on campus are looking for healthier options," Tran said.

Samantha Collins NATIONAL East Coast readies for hurricane MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEW YORK — Hurricane Earl, still a dangerous Category 3 storm, closed in on the North Carolina coast Thursday, prompting warnings and evacuation orders as the region braced for heavy rains and a dangerous storm surge. Meteorologist predict the eye of the hurricane will hug the East Coast but remain at sea over the next few days, with the Middle Atlantic's outermost islands and New England's Cape Cod likely to take the worst lashing. "The center of Earl will pass near the North Carolina Outer Banks tonight and be very near southeastern New England Friday night," the National Weather Service said Thursday, describing it as "a large and powerful" hurricane. The weather service has issued a hurricane warning for communities from Bogue Inlet, N.C., to the North Carolina-Virginia border. Officials in some of North Carolina's seaside communities have issued evacuation orders aimed primarily at the thousands of visitors that would normally crowd beaches there for the Labor Day weekend. A hurricane watch remained in effect from the North Carolina-Virginia border to Cape Henlopen, Del., and parts of Massachusetts, including Plymouth, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. The North Carolina coastline from Cape Fear to west of Bogue Inlet was under a tropical-storm warning, which also extended north of the North Carolina-Virginia border to Sandy Hook, N.J., and to the coast of Long Island, N.Y., from Fire Island inlet to Port Jefferson Harbor. The weather service is also predicting a "dangerous storm surge will raise water levels as much as three to five feet above ground level within both warning areas and the lower Chesapeake Bay" The surge will be "accompanied by large and destructive waves", it added. Airlines serving the region — such as American, US Airways, JetBlue and AirTran — waived their fees for customers that want to change their itineraries. "We will continue to monitor the track of the hurricane and communicate any additional operational impact in the morning, but at this time we have no delays or cancels planned for further up the East Coast," a Delta representative said. Continental canceled 50 regional departures in the Northeast and Delta said it canceled five flights to North Carolina and Virginia. heart was packing winds of 115 mph, according to a Thursday afternoon advisory from the National Hurricane Center in Miami. A Category 3 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale is capable of causing "devastating damage" to structures, trees and power lines. There is also "a high risk of injury or death to people, livestock and pets due to flying and falling debris," the center said. "Nearly all older (pre-1994) mobile homes will be destroyed." Earl had been upgraded to a Category 4 this week, but has begun to gradually weaken. The storm continued to move north at 18 miles an hour, the hurricane center said, and was about 245 miles off Cape Hatteras, N.C., and 720 miles from Nantucket, Mass. as of 2 p.m. Eastern time Thursday. Gov. Bob McDonnell declared a state of emergency Wednesday in Virginia. "The current forecast has Hurricane Earl passing east of Virginia later this week. However, a change in the storm's path could bring hazardous weather conditions to eastern Virginia," he said. "This declaration is a precautionary move which will allow state agencies to be ready just in case resources are needed."

Nikhil Menon, a senior from Topeka, studies at the library about four days a week. He admits to hunching over his laptop and not paying attention to his posture.

She said she finds herself rolling her wrists, readjusting her shoulders and back and sometimes popping her neck. Some people type with their wrists resting on the edge of the keyboard. Others type with their wrists above the keyboard and bow their hands. Both of these methods cause swelling and compression of the nerves and tendons of the wrist and lower forearm. Repetitive compression can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. It's not likely in this age that these problems will go away. SANDRA BOWMAN Physical therapy supervisor their laptops, but also gaming and cell phones. "It's all repetitive hand movement that we're doing." Bowman said. "Typing, gaming and texting." Most college students have stopped growing, but poor posture now can lead to problems later in life. Students who are hunched over laptops could potentially assume that position. "What we'll see more and more are people with their heads forward and their upper backs rounded out," Bowman sa.d. Both Bowman and Carneiro recommend students use accessories for their laptops like external keyboards and mice when possible. Edited by Alex Tretbar International studies honored EDUCATION GRANTS BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com Five international studies centers at the University of Kansas were awarded grants totaling $8.9 million for their excellence over the last four years. One of the grants is through a National Resource Center under the U.S. Department of Education, which provides grants to preeminent international area centers around the country that will be national resources for teaching modern foreign languages. The federal funds will be allocated to the Center for Latin American Studies; the Center for East Asian Studies; the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies; and the Kansas African Studies Center. In addition to the National Resource Center support, the U.S. Department of Education awarded foreign language and area studies grants to the Centers for Latin American Studies; East Asian Studies; Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies; Global and International Studies; and Kansas African Studies. These funds will go directly to students through fellowships. This money will help students in their advanced language and culture studies, so as to increase the number of foreign language experts across the country. The designation of a National Resource Center isn't easy to achieve. The application process is complex and involves the input of many staff members and librarians. Once a grant application reaches the evaluation stage, it competes against other applicants in the same category for funding. "The grant money allows us to further support the education of regional K-12 teachers so that more students come to KU with an awareness of East Asia that might encourage them to enroll in East Asian content courses or take a language," Greene said. One of the main qualifications for receiving this federal grant "This was truly a banner year for CREES and the University." Greene said the evaluators look at the extent of institutional support for the program, the quality of language instruction, strength of the library and overall curriculum design. J. Megan Greene, director of the Center for East Asian Studies, said part of the grant money from the national resource center would be used to strengthen the center's foreign language instruction and attract more students to the subject. "For those students who are far along enough and learning one of the selected critical languages, it will be of great help," said Megan Adams, a junior from Overland Park and president of the Center for Global and International Studies Student Group. Each available foreign language and area studies fellowship pays for a student's entire tuition and includes a stipend. Students that apply will be evaluated on the basis of the quality of the proposal, the academic qualifications of the student and the languages to be studied. The application deadline for these fellowships will be early in the spring semester, with the exact dates depending on each center's guidelines. EDITH CLOWES Director for CREES is that a center must have demonstrated strong growth and activity over the preceding four year grant cycle, said Edith Clowes, director of the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies. "You have to show you are enriching intellectual life here at the University and supporting outreach programming in the community," said Clowes. "Our center, in particular, experienced a 28 percent growth in library funds and continued to be a leading national instructor of foreign area army officers." The committee that considers the grants looks at a long list of criteria and makes a decision based on merit. Higher scores and rankings lead to a larger dividend for each center. "This was truly a banner year for CREES and the University," Clowes said. — Edited by Lisa Curran Happy camper A boy sitting on the grass cooking food in a tent.

MIDDLE EAST Hamas is key to peace talk's success ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — To relaunch Middle East peace talks on Thursday, the Israeli and Palestinian leaders and their American mediators quietly agreed to push aside the question of Hamas — the Islamic militant group that controls one of the two Palestinian territories and rejects negotiations. "The attacks were meant to tell But Hamas let it be known with its bullets that it would not be left out of the equation — the militants killed four Israelis and wounded two others in a pair of attacks on the eve of the new talks. The bloodshed was a reminder that Hamas is now on the list of intractable issues that have stymed decades of Mideast negotiations. There can be no peace without Hamas, but there is no solution so far for bringing the Iranian-backed group into the process. (Palestinian President Mahmoud) Abbas he is not the one who decides the fate of the Palestinians," declared Ahmed Yousef, a senior Hamas official in Gaza, adding that the group deserves a place in national decision-making because The more moderate Abbas met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday for the first peace talks in two years, hosted by President Barack Obama. Abbas and Netanyahu are far apart on issues that have elud- it won parliamentary elections in 2006. "Hamas will never agree to be ignored and isolated, and it can reshuffle the cards," he said. "Any result and outcome of these talks does not commit us and does not commit our people." Hamas is firmly in control of the Gaza Strip, one of the two territories that are supposed to be part of a future Palestinian state. It wields virtual veto power over any agreement and has given no indication it would be willing to accept a deal with Israel reached by Abbas, who runs a rival government in the West Bank. SAMI ABU SUHRI Hamas spokesman ed a solution for decades, including the borders of a Palestinian state, the fate of millions of Palestinian refugees and the most explosive issue, the competing claims to the holy city of Jerusalem But if they can somehow work out these differences, Hamas would be needed to implement any deal. The Palestinians seek the West Bank and Gaza — located on opposite sides of Israel — for their future state, with east Jerusalem as its capital. For now, the Palestinians appear to be unified on one issue: There can be no peace that leaves the 1.5 million people of Gaza out. Abbas has rejected any suggestion of a partial solution granting independence only to the West Bank and its 2.4 million Palestinians. This would be perceived by the Palestinian public as a massive sellout and sign of weakness. Hamas would paint Abbas as a traitor. "Any result and outcome or these talks does not commit us and does not commit our people. It only commits Abbas himself," said Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza. Abbas has repeatedly said he will present any peace deal to a national referendum, a vote that would include the people of Gaza. A vote in favor of peace would put heavy pressure on Hamas to accept the will of the Palestinian people. RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. Thief identified by forgotten phone RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. — Police investigate a home burglary in Russellville found a surprising clue — a cell phone that got left behind. Franklin County District Attorney Joey Rushing said the phone was left near where a computer was taken in the weekend burglary. Investigators began The prosecutor said police also got surveillance video from the Wal-Mart in Russellville that shows the suspect cashing in coins believed to have been taken during the burglary. calling some of the phone numbers and determined the phone belonged to a 19-year-old who was on probation for a previous burglary. - Associated Press Jecture Thursday. She said it was easier to engage with the anthology because the voices of women were included. LAUTER (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Lanning said the students in her class read a dramatic story about a woman who faced physical hardship. "It was really interesting because it was about a female — usually, with that kind of story, you hear about a man," she said. The extra voices of minorities and women add context to the usual history learned in class. More voices offer perspective on the same events. "It allows texts to have a dialogue and contrast with one another," said Philip Barnard, an associate professor who teaches American literature.

Initially, she was yet another movie star who dared to step out and be in a band. "When we were doing press a few years ago," says guitarist-producer M. Ward, "about half the questions were about how bad Bruce Willis' records were and stuff like that." Ward says Deschanel's transition to music is not the focus anymore. "I think people are forgetting about that, and that's good," he says. "There's good and bad examples of all kinds of music. And I think Zoey is definitely an inspiration for a lot of people who may be trapped into doing one thing in the creative arts." Together, Ward and Deschanel have created a sun-splashed brand of '60s-flavored pop that's as fresh as it is familiar in its coffeehouse appeal. "Volume Two" includes 11 originals and two covers _ NRBQS' "Ridin" in My Car" and She & Him have no cred-ibility issues these days after delivering its sophomore effort, "Volume Two", which picks up where 2008's "Volume One" left off. Some have compared it with the legendary the Mamas & the Papas. The comparison seems fair, though Ward isn't so quick to embrace it. Skeeter Davis" "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" Of their feel-good music, Ward says "some people have called it 'arena folk,' which we like. It's a little tongue-in-cheek, but it's OK." "I'm not their No. 1 fan, but they have good songs," he says. "But I don't know a lot of their stuff, to be honest." "I can't say enough about Chuck Berry — the voice, the lyrics, the guitar playing, the looseness," Ward says. "He's genius. When I first started playing guitar, I was learning Beatles songs like 'Roll Over Beethoven' and 'Rock and Roll Music.' Chuck Berry songs the Beatles covered. I've been digging deeper in his catalog ever since." Ward does concede their influences run old. His favorite producers are heavy-hitting legends such as George Martin, Quincy Jones and Phil Spector.

Yesterday's Cryptoquip: BIG WEEKEND SKIT SHOW HOSTED BY CELEBRATED ADVENTURE NOVELIST CUSSLER: "SATURDAY NIGHT CLIVE" Today's Cryptoquip Clue: V equals P MOVIES ASSOCIATED PRESS Machete: politics and hope LOS ANGELES — Before she signed on to make "Machete," the campy celebration of the eponymous Latino legend, Michelle Rodriguez had pretty much decided she didn't want to make a movie about her own culture. "I was nervous about doing a movie about Latinos. I've usually staved away from it," she said, saying she found most depictions of Latino culture on the big screen to be one-note and marginal. "But after I read the script, I realized this is about a symbol of hope. It was kind of the way we felt about Obama when he was first elected." The Robert Rodriguez movie wouldn't, on its face, be considered a grand political statement. Although it could be categorized as an immigration-law satire and an exploration of Latin identity, it's also an exploitation film whose linchpin scene features low riders shooting missiles. Among other selling points, it offers the rare triple whammy of Lindsay Lohan engaging in a menage a trois, shooting Robert De Niro and dressing up as a nun, while the film generally takes advantage of most opportunities for comedically over-the-top violence. (It also throws in character parts for Don Johnson, Steven Seagal and Cheech Marin and a leading role for longtime baddie Trejo.) "It was like seeing Run DMC and Aerosmith doing that video together," she said, referring to But despite its goofier side, the depiction of Machete as a symbol of hope for a Latino community, at a time when, as the movie noted satirically, immigration fears were running riot, heartened Rodriguez. And to the extent it shows Latinos and whites working together, she says, it felt even more ideological. "Walk This Way." "It was like, Yeah, man, we can all do this together and laugh about it." Indeed, "Machete" is a hybrid rarity for a time when most political movies are starchy affairs, and most studio escapism stays far away from hot-button issues. The film has had one of the more unusual runs to the screen, one in which fiction and truth blended together nearly indistinguishably. Conceived and written by Robert Rodriguez in the mid-1990s, the script sat on the shelf for more than a decade, until 2007, when Rodriguez included a fake trailer for it in "Grindhouse" his homage to exploitation films with Quentin Tarantino. The trailer got more attention than the whole movie, and fans started wondering when it was coming out. So Rodriguez went ahead and made it.

The rescue occurred Wednesday 60 feet above a rural roadway in southern Montana after a caller told the Rimrock Humane Society that the goats were stranded on the 6-inch ledge. wandered onto the ledge at night then froze after the sun rose and they discovered where they were.

New ways of covering news provide challenges ON-CAMPUS MEDIA "We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down." Kurt Vonnegut I have always been, and I'm sure will always be, a very shy person. Growing up as a timid, hearing impaired only child, I always tended to stay on the outside, choosing more often to be an observer rather than experience my young life first-hand. Like I'm sure we can all relate to at some point in our lives, I lived with a perpetual fear of rejection — and of change. I've come a long way since my playground days, but not without constant effort. Last semester, when I applied for the job of editor-in-chief of The University Daily Kansan, I was terrified. Though I have been involved with The Kansan since the second month of my freshman year, I never envisioned I would "be good enough" to take on the head role. But, with the support of many friends and advisers, I found the courage to put forward my vision for student media on this campus. And, though this semester will be filled with challenges, I wouldn't change a thing. PETRINE HALLMAN Here's what we all know: Trying BY ALEX GARRISON Editor's Notes We will be working to expand our coverage and to expand how we deliver that coverage. We are no longer the student newspaper of the University of Kansas; we are now the student media of the University of Kansas. We are print, we are television, we are online, we are social media, we are radio. This semester, we will be trying new things with The University Daily Kansan. We will be bringing you not only the daily paper, but live video news updates, on channel 31 and online, five times per day — on the hour from noon to 4 p.m. We will be continuing our commitment to online content with breaking news, interactive features, in-depth photo galleries video and audio all at Kansas.com And we will be increasing our presence in the exciting world of new media. We have lofty goals. I speak for more than 200 students who contribute to the print version of The Kansan and the expanding multimedia versions when I say that no, we probably will not accomplish all the goals we set out to accomplish. We will fall short. We will inevitably make mistakes. We, too, after all, are students. Every day, we put out content across many platforms. Every day, we learn. We learn because we care about serving you. I personally can attest to the commitment of all those students. We will try our best, because we demand the best of ourselves. But our success depends in part to your feedback. E-mail me. Call me. Visit me. Facebook me. I want to hear your input.

NICK SAMBALUK S LETTER TO THE EDITOR KU should follow in Nebraska's footsteps and join the Big 10 This summer, our University along with many others was subject to extreme turmoil when conference expansion threatened the once mighty Big 12. Our administrators lack much foresight about the issue, even when news stories were being published since December 2009. They have failed us numerous times, and it is clear that they have alienated our loyal alumni. It is even a struggle to sell enough tickets to fill a tiny box in the football stadium that has yet to be built. KU is still without a plan for the future. There may be a temporary union in place now, but the position our University was put in cannot be excused. While conference expansion discussion is filled with increased budgets for athletic departments, ours is somehow diverted to Texas to keep them in, when in fact they are probably the root of all our problems. So I am here to propose something to my peers that I sincerely believe will lead our University to greatness: We need to join our friends in Nebraska and join the Big Ten. It's the smartest thing Nebraska has ever done. stretches past Lawrence. The Big Ten is full of soft athletics, it will be tough for our teams, but it can be ours for the taking after years of Texas' crap. The Big Ten will boost out of state students to KU and will bring more research funds that will greatly advance our academics. Our campaign starts now. We must innovate or risk becoming obsolete. Our University needs to be more aggressive, and we must expand our campus. We need to exploit our attractiveness as a University compared to our potential rivals joining the Big Ten. Iowa State, Mizzou, and Kansas State would all want to be in the same club. The Big Ten has a TV network that cannot be rivaled. It brings a lot of exposure to the population of Big Ten Country, which now Many may argue against such a move, and the business is messy. Many Mizzou fans feel they were shafted when Nebraska made the jump and no such offer was extended to Mizzou to join the Big Ten, but we must realize that we are a lot more attractive than Mizzou. We can make a lot of money in the Big Ten off basketball unlike our current situation. With the Big Ten Network, a lot more of our games will be televised on a network that reaches millions. Kansas can pull the attention of TV viewers, and in the end that is what the Big Ten wants.: tradition, academics, good athletics and a big TV market What will probably seal the deal in the process is the fact that Nebraska is in already. I have little doubt that they would be most eager to help us join the Big Ten, as we were its closest ally in the Big 12. The issue at hand is our school's security, and without peer university support, we are hopeless. Nebraska's AD and former famed football coach Tom Osborne has been quoted as saying the move was about security, and currently our conference leaders our not providing that for us. It is an insult to all who love KU to realize we are paying the likes of Texas, Oklahoma, and A&M to stick around when they are clearly waiting on offers from other conferences. I believe our best option is to join the Big Ten, and I believe Nebraska can be an invaluable ally in achieving this goal. The respect, power, tradition and stability of the Big Ten is what Kansas needs. Action starts with you! Tell the Board of Regents, the KU administration, your friends in the Big Ten, and your friends here that KU belongs in the Big Ten!

HEALTH Case against the legalization of pot strong and hilarious It's been a long time since Nancy Reagan first spearheaded the first battle in the War on Drugs. headed the first battle in th War on Drugs. We've learned a lot of things since then. I mean, let's look at the facts. Alcohol is legal, and marijuana is illegal. Alcohol destroys your liver like a poison, and marijuana helps ease the pains of cancer. Alcohol tastes like liquid-fire, and marijuana can be baked into delicious brownies. Like Paris Hilton being a celebrity for, well, being a celebrity — marijuana is bad, because it JUST IS, OKAY? And until America (and especially Lawrence — yeah, that's right. I'm looking at you, Bloodshot Eyes) realizes this, puts down their hilariously named bongs and pipes, and picks up a brewsky instead, I will not stop. Also, I read some astonishing things in a study that never happened by the Association of Fake Studies. When you drink too much alcohol you vomit or die, and when you smoke too many marijuana you laugh and eat pie. Not to mention the fact that marijuana is inherently evil — like the number 666 or cats. The study followed a group of people who smoked marijuana regularly and a group of people who drank regularly. All of the people who drank regularly lived normal lives, made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and one of the people turned out to be Mel Gibson. I mean, that guy has had an awesome past couple of years, right? All of the people who smoked marijuana regularly lived awful lives, most were thrown in prison for having marijuana (which isn't a cyclical argument at all), and one of the people turned out to be Seth Rogen. Do you remember Seth Rogen? Of course not, because the sitcom he starred on, Freaks and Geeks, was canceled after one season. Oddities BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL carmichael@kansas.com Well, 14 states have made medical marijuana legal to cancer patients, those with chronic pain, and other fakers that also happen to be drug addicts. There's no need to go to all that trouble making marijuana — I mean you need, like, air, water, and sunshine — when you can simply take opioids, anticonvulsants, antidepressants and local anesthetics. What is more cool sounding than an anti-convulsant? We're past natural junk too. I mean just the other day I had some Zoloft-flavored tea. Pilgrims came to America to someday ride around on robots, use jetpacks to arrive at prom, and pop chemical-infused pills until every day is like an episode of Full House. I mean that family's mom died in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. A drunk driver! Not a high driver. That hilarious sitcom would not exist if a drunk driver didn't most likely, horribly liquefy the mother in a car accident — so another "YAY!" on the alcohol side. Listen, folks, this column was difficult to write, what with all of the facts supporting the continuing illegality of marijuana. If nothing else can convince, have a little dose of syllogism: marijuana is considered a drug; meth is considered a drug, so I submit for your approval — MARIJUANA IS METH. Either marijuana is as awful as meth, or society is wrong. And when was the last time society was wrong? Carmichael is a Mulvane junior in film and media studies and journalism.

Gill and the captains addressed fans that came for a pep rally on the 1000 block of Massachusetts St., but attendance was poor because of rainy weather. KANSAS Coach's block party kicks off season Turner Gill is a guest on this week's Hawk Talk, which airs every Thursday from 6 to 7 p.m. This week's airing was at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St., as a special event to prepare for this weekend's football game against North Dakota State. BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com The rain pouring down on Kansas football fans at the downtown block party to kick off the 2010-2011 season yesterday didn't dampen their spirits at all. Instead the scene turned from a block party to a bar party. The 1000 block of Massachusetts Street was closed off for the commencement of a new season of football and the new season of the Hawk Talk radio show at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Mass. St. The main ceremonies ended at 6 p.m. due to the rain, but inside Buffalo Wild Wings it was another story. "It's great to see people excited for the season," Gill said after his radio show. Gill said the enthusiasm he saw in the crowd made him more thrilled for tomorrow's season opener against North Dakota State. He said meeting the community that supported his football team meant a lot to him because Kansas football needed its passion. Laura Porter, a University graduate, said she was pleased to see the diehard fans come out despite the rain. She said she was looking forward to see a new season and new coach. "I think he is a real positive coach and gets the best out of his players," Porter said. Porter's son got to shake Gill's hand on his way out of the restaurant. She was impressed with Gill's desire to meet people and said that experience was worth braving the rain. There were plenty of people there to meet. According to Jonathan Lee, a graduate student from San Francisco, there was no sitting room anywhere in Buffalo Wild Wings leading up to or during the radio show. "Considering the weather, this place was surprisingly full." Lee said while wearing his Jayhawk attire. Lee has seen Gill coach before, and he was interested in seeing him again at this time at KU. Lee saw Gill coach at the University of Buffalo two years ago and has liked him since then. Like Porter, Lee thought his positive persona was good for the team, and he was glad to see people come out and support the Jayhawks. The rain clouds parted at around the same time Gill ended his first episode of Hawk Talk. Gill walked out of the restaurant and greeted a crowd of rain-resilient fans. The five captains for the 2010 season were also outside, and senior Angus Quigley commiserated with the fans. "I know it wasn't easy to be out here, but we appreciate it." Quigley said. After a quick word of gratitude from the other captains, Gill took back the microphone and gave one final message through the speakers, projecting his voice down the block.

State police said Craig wasn't struck by any vehicles. The accident remains under investigation. Associated Press "Expect that I am gonna kick your ass physically," Horning said. "A lot of guys can't make it through the first practice when they come." Horning came to the University in 2008 from Manhattan, Kan. While in Manhattan, he practiced jiu-jitsu frequently and found that it had yet to be introduced to Lawrence. Horning and some friends decided they would be the ones to put together a club and two years later, Horning is the only founder remaining. In 2008, the club had eight members during its first semester session. Now, Horning has at least 40 members attend each class. The first two classes are free. After that, it's $75 for a semester, or $100 for a year. Byron Davis, a junior from Philadelphia, considers the money well spent. "One practice is all it took for me and I was hooked." Davis said. Horning does not consider his class to be a "typical martial arts class" with "going-through the motion drills." Horning's objective is to train people to defend Bare feet, mouth guards and a fighter's mentality — all are necessary for jiu-jitsu preparation. A martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting, this Brazilian sport takes a lot of hard work. The jiu-itsu class meets in the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center at 5 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Instructor Chris Horning said students who are thinking about coming to his classes should expect to be physically challenged. Jiu-jitsu fighters take it to the mat CAMPUS BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com Of the approximately 40 members in the class, three fight competitively in mixed martial arts. On Sept. 18 at the Ararat Shrine Temple in Kansas City, Mo., Nance, a junior from Trinity, N.C., will fight in the catchweight division of 160 pounds, Alex Grandsalt, a sophomore from Derby, will fight in the 205-pound division and Cale Peterson, a senior from Chanute, will fight in the 155-pound division. The three KU members will square off against MMA fighters from Missouri. When one member of the class fights, the rest of the class usually roots for their teammate. After a couple of practices, the group members take on more of a family feel toward each other. As for those who are worried about going in and getting injured, the worst participants have left with are a couple of jammed fingers and toes. "It's a sport anyone can do," said Petty, a junior from Wichita. "You get to let all your aggressions out and always leave in a good mood." The platform produced mostly natural gas and a small amount of oil - 1,400 barrels a day, according to the rig's owner, Houston-based Mariner Energy. A mile-long ribbon of light sheen was seen near the rig about 100 miles south of Louisiana, but both the Coast Guard and Mariner said there was no indication of a continuing leak. Coast Guard Cmdr. Cheri Benlesau said the blast, which forced 13 workers to leap into the water where they were rescued, wasn't comparable to the Deepwater Horizon accident, which exploded in April, killing 11 workers themselves with jiu-jitsu, which he said was one of the most effective martial arts. Horning teaches techniques for knife disarming, gun disarming and numerous other submission and self-defense tactics. The class has attracted students from all walks of life, from Jarde Nance, a mechanical engineering major and competitive mixed martial arts fighter, to Justin Petty, a former Marine.

Sarah Bucci, field associate for Environment Florida, released a statement that was echoed by the National Audubon Society, the National Wildlife Federation and Greenpeace: "President Obama should need no further wake-up call to permanently ban new drilling."

Wilson is expected to be one of the Jayhawks' best receiving threats this season. BY MATT GALLOW mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway BY MATT GALLOWAY Whether they are motivated by excitement or frustration, the returning starters on the Kansas football team are starving to end their program's winless streak. FOOTBALL "We haven't had a win in a long time," said senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson. "I think the rest of the team and I are excited to be back on the field and get another victory." For Wilson and his fellow seniors, the drought must end this Saturday against North Dakota State if this season is to have any purpose other than rebuilding. Senior offensive lineman Brad Thorson is one returner on a seasoned, yet unproven, offensive line looking to open holes for sixth-year senior running back Angus Quigley and protect its new starting quarterback, kophomore Kale Pick. Thorson feels comfortable with the decision coach Turner Gill and his staff made on the battles for various positions. The Jayhawks take the field at Memorial Stadium at 6:10 p.m. against the Bison, looking to start the year like they did last year, but focused on making sure it does not end like the same way. The Jayhawks lost their final seven games after winning their first five, finishing 1-6 in Big XII play and bowl inelegible. lurner Gill needs a victory this Saturday "I feel really good about the guys starting right now," Thorson said. SEE KICKOFF ON PAGE 5B know Turner Gill has been saying he's approaching this like any other game, but let's be honest. If he's not feeling a little extra squeeze coming into Saturday, then all signs point to him being a robot. Gill has talked all week about the challenge North Dakota State brings for this Kansas team. He's good at that: managing expectations. But to be completely frank, anything short of a decisive victory tomorrow would be an embarrassing start to the Gill era. There have been FCS programs that have knocked off BCS schools before. It happened to Michigan, famously, when Appalachian State rocked the Big House. It happened two years ago in the Big 12, when Montana State dropped Colorado in the season opener. But for Gill's sake, it cannot happen here. It would put a black mark on his record that would take a long time to erase. And sure, the last nine Kansas head coaching debuts haven't gone so well (2-7 in the last 50 years of football), but that doesn't mean Kansas' new golden boy will be held to anything less than a standard of excellence in his first turn as coach. Or at least a standard of winning. I have no great expectations for this team. In my book, a 6-6 season would be a heck of a trick for a new coach inheriting a team losing its five best players, including the most successful quarterback and top two receivers in school history. Junior receiver Daymond BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com PETER GARRARD Patterson made his thoughts on the quality of the opponent known over Twitter Tuesday. "jus watched film over this weeks opponent and feelin better Imao," he wrote from his account, @15staylive. Let me make one thing clear, though. From the day Mark Mangino got fired, I said Gill was the guy for this program. He's an up-and-comer, young, personable, and in all ways the anti-Mangino. His 20-30 record at Buffalo defines misleading. When he was passed over for the Auburn head coaching job for Gene Chizik, people cried racism. If he wasn't the best coach available to the Jayhawks last offseason, he was damn close. - he should be. North Dakota State is picked to finish sixth in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. That's the FCS (formerly Division 1-AA). The Bison are not what you'd call a powerhouse. I'm no mind-reader, but that says to me that even Patterson is expecting a blowout win. And - worries of overconfidence aside But if the Jayhawks don't, at the very least, pull out a double-digit win Saturday, forget I wrote that last paragraph. Edited by Abby Davenport CLUB SPORTS Hockey team deserves attention, too The Kansas Men's Hockey Club is optimistic despite last season's results BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com When people think of hockey, their minds are surged with images of the 1980 Miracle on Ice, Wayne Gretzky, Disney's "The Mighty Ducks" and, of course, the Stanley Cup. They don't think about Kansas. For some reason, wheat fields and cold steel on ice don't mesh. Perhaps it's because at the end of the day this is a basketball state, or maybe it's the lack of an NHL team. One thing is for sure: when it comes to hockey, Kansas is left off the map. In fact, there are only seven ice rinks in the entire state. Tucked away in Overland Park rests one of these elusive facilities, the Pepsi Ice Midwest, where a different breed of Jayhawks makes its nest. These birds, born with skates on their feet and ice in their veins, patrol the rink, and any team who enters better be prepared to face off. Led by coach Tom Prendergast, the Kansas Men's Hockey Club kicks off its season tonight against Purdue University. The game will mark the start of the 23rd campaign of the club's existence, and no one is more optimistic about the year than Prendergast, who deems that with a more experienced team returning to the ice, Kansas is sure to be heading up in the standings.

The Jayhawks went 1-2 in their inaugural season in 1890 without a coach. Their first coach was E.M. Hopkins, who went 7-0-1 in 1891. — Kansas Athletics Don't judge Gill's year too soon MORNING BREW As football season kicks off tomorrow at Memorial Stadium, it will also mark the beginning of many other things. There will be overpriced hot dogs and a flood of t-shirt sales, as well as tailgate parties and waving the wheat. But tomorrow is different than most years. Tomorrow Turner Gill will start his legacy at Kansas. P Whether it is fair or not, today's sporting age is one that demands instant success and isn't very patient when losing persists. An example lies in the Kansas City Royals' firing of Trey Hillman. Granted, the Royals haven't been good in a long long time, and it might be a while before they start winning, but he was only given 2 1/5 seasons as a coach before he was fired. I don't mind Kansas City doing whatever they can to try to mix things up and win a few ball games. I'm just saying that the message in sports today seems to be win early or don't stick around. Gill will be coaching a lot of players recruited by former coach Mark Mangino, however most fans don't take this into consideration. Some will dismiss his coaching abilities if his first season isn't as successful as they thought it would be. I'm not saying that the layhawks won't be successful this year, and I, like thousands of other fans, will be in the stands cheering them on every game. I'm just saying BY JACKSON DELAY jacdelay@kansan.com Not to compare Gill to Mangino, but in 2002 when Mangino came on the scene, KU finished with a 2-10 record. Nonetheless, we all remember in 2008 when the Jayhawks had their magical run and won the Orange Bowl. I'm sure that there were people in Mangino's first year thinking that the two-win team was a joke and wondering if Mangino was a fool. However, success came later. I'm not trying to debate Mangino's coaching abilities, but judging a coach in his first year strictly by wins and losses seems ludicrous. Gill isn't the only one in this situation, however. Coaches across the nation who take a head coaching job at a high-profile that fans shouldn't point the finger at Gill and denounce him as a coach if the team's record doesn't match fans' expectations in his first year. THE MORNING BREW Only time will tell if Gill can put Kansas football back on the map for good and accomplish what he says he came here to do "I did not come here to use it as a stepping stone to a football dynasty," he said when he was first unveiled as Kansas' new coach, "but rather to create a football dynasty here at KU.

Gary Patterson is no different, especially with No. 24 Oregon State on tap at 6:45 p.m. CDT on Saturday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. "Our legs and our morale are back," Patterson said. "We needed a day like (Wednesday). We need another one. I don't expect this game to be low-scoring." led the Beavers with 91 receptions for 1,034 yards and nine touchdowns. They both graduated from Lamar Consolidated, southwest of Houston. "We're going to have to make plays on both sides of the ball," Patterson said. "The team that makes the most plays in the red zone is probably going to be the team that wins." NEW UNIFORM UNVEILED Predicting a high-scoring "I don't expect this game to be low-scoring." Nike unveiled TCU's Pro Combat uniform in New York on Wednesday, along with nine GARY PATTERSON TCU coach game is likely the result of watching hours of tapes of Beaver wide receivers James Rodgers and Aaron Nichols and running back Jacquizz Rodgers make big plays. Jacquizz Rodgers rushed for 1,440 yards and 21 touchdowns as a sophomore last season.

MLB Sabathia's one-hitter helps Yankees sweep Athletics NEW YORK — CC Sabatha pitched one-hit ball for eight innings to earn his major league-leading 19th win, fill-in Curtis Granderson homered twice and the New York Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 5-0 Thursday for a four-game sweep. Sabathia (19-5) breezed on a steamy afternoon, nicked only by Mark Ellis' clean single leading off the second. Jonathan Albaladejo completed the combined one-hitter in the ninth. ASSOCIATED PRESS Granderson hit a solo homer and a two-run shot as a replacement for Nick Swisher, who left after one inning because of a stiff knee. Jorge Posada also homered a day after an animated ejection, propelling the Yankees to their sixth straight victory. Sabathia matched his career high for victories and won his sixth start in a row overall. He was in trouble just once, after a hit batter and a walk to start the eighth, but retired the next three hitters in order. New York increased its AL East lead over 1dile Tampa to $1/2 games. Oakland's loss gave AL West-leading Texas a 10-game bulge. The big lefty struck out five, walked three and exchanged a fist bump with Eduardo Nunez after the rookie made a nice play to start the sixth. Ellis' hit was an opposite-field stroke through the right side. Sabathia began his day by fanning Coco Crisp, who took an awkward swing at 92 mph heat, which exactly matched the gametime temperature. The sunny weather figures to change in a hurry for Friday's home game against Toronto, with Hurricane Earl expected to bring rain. Winning in the Bronx has become almost automatic for Sabathia — he's now 16-0 in 21 starts at Yankee Stadium since the 2009 All-Star breaking the As had been more of a problem — on April 22 in Oakland. A-Rod angered Braden by crossing the mound while returning to first base after a foul ball, and the two later nipped at each other and the A's sold T-shirts printed with "Get Off My Mound." Braden and Rodriguez have since patched up their differences. They didn't face each other this time, with Rodriguez still on the disabled list. Jorge Posada also homered a day after an animated ejection, propelling the Yankees to their sixth straight victory. Dallas Braden (9-10) left in the sixth inning with heat-related cramps. He allowed two hits and slowly walked off trailing 1-0. He was coming off a four-hit shutout at Texas. 6-8 with a 5.36 ERA in 20 career starts against them. Braden started against the Yankees for the first time since his dustup with Alex Rodriguez Posada launched his 17th home run in the second. He trotted past third-base duma Dane DeMuth without incident — a night earlier, Posada was ejected by DeMuth after arguing a called third strike, then drew a line in the dirt with his bat to show where the pitch THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS was wide. Braden bent over after a pitch in the sixth, and suddenly there were a lot of people on his mound, including As manager Bob Geren and a trainer. Jerry Blevins relieved and recorded an out before throwing a pitch, trapping Derek Jeter off first base. Granderson added his 16th and 17th home runs later.

That might be considered good news for the Illini. Illinois enters the season with quite a few questions. The Tigers have won the last five meetings since 2002, including games that opened the last three seasons. Last season's 37-9 loss began a dismal 1-6 start to the Illini's season. The way Illinois looks at it, Saturday's game in St. Louis is a chance to end the series with a different outcome. "We're the underdog" linebacker Martez Wilson said. "We're the dark horses. So expect the unexpected." The secondary is thin after safety Supo Sanni and cornerback Terry Hawthorne — both projected starters — went down with injuries. That presents some unexpected challenges for new defensive coordinator Vic Koenning. The Illini also will operate under a system of new offensive coordinator Paul Petrino. And redshirt freshman quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase will bring in a new era after four seasons of Juice Williams at the helm. Scheelhaase, a native of Kansas City, Mo., said he is ready to play in front of a hometown crowd. "I haven't really had many nervous feelings," he said. "I'm sure when I walk into the (Edward Jones) Dome on Friday the butterflies will start moving around. Staying calm and staying focused, I think that's the biggest thing I have to do." Missouri has some problems too. The Tigers will be without dismissed running back Derrick Washington, who is facing legal charges. But they still have strong-armed quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns against the Illini last season. Illini coach Ron Zook praised Gabbert's performance so far.

BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c/thibodeaux Glass half full: the Jayhawks started last season 5-0. Glass half empty: the layhawks ended last season on an 0-7 freefall. Going into its first game, the team is split between the two perceptions. Talking to coach Turner Gill and players with limited roles last season, the team has forgotten the disastrous 2009-10 season. "Since we've been involved, that's not even been an issue," Gill said. "We're in 2010 and we're moving forward." But there's a group of players who are still affected by the lingering memory. Senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson said the guys who didn't play last year couldn't understand how he and the others feel. "It's not something I'm dwellin on everyday," he said, "but it's defnitely in the back of my mind." Senior cornerback Chris Harris has that same mentality. Sure, there is a whole new atmosphere with the team this year, he said, but the players still have their pride. "We need a win," Harris said. "Bad." Most of the blame is put on the inner turmoil the coaching staff faced last season. Still, the Jayhawks finished the season with terrible momentum after having a legitimate shot at a bowl appearance. But the new leader of the team, sophomore quarterback Kale Pick, appears to have the same mindset as his coach. There's a new staff and a new system. There are plenty of fresh faces in the starting lineup and Pick is sure that combination has put the past behind. "Id say we're over it and ready to go out there and prove people wrong." he said. Pick played sparingly in a 2009- 10 season that included a fourth quarter benching of Todd Reesing. On the season he had five passing attempts in seven games of action. Of all the ups and downs last season, senior lineman Brad Thorson said he and the captains are making sure this season is fun and maybe 2010-11 can hold fond memories. "We're going to make sure this season is more memorable than last season for the right reasons," Thorson said. When the Jayhawks host North Dakota State in their home opener, their record will read "0-0." But that 5-7 record, especially the way it happened, has to be remembered before it can be forgotten. Wilson said he wants that reminder in the first game for motivation. "I wish they could put it on the board somewhere so we can see it before we go out on the field," he said. Edited by David Cawthon O. BRISCOE 80 KANSAN FILE PHOTO COLLEGE FOOTBALL Coach doesn't let job change him MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A week before he would coach his first game at Notre Dame, before the runaway optimism commingled with actual results, Brian Kelly stood in his stadium and sensed that anticipation was squeezing the oxygen out of his team. "I can't come to work every day thinking I'm the head coach at Notre Dame," Kelly said this week, recalling his message. "There are just too many To dissolve the apprehension, Kelly applied nine months of on-the-job learning. He urged a task-by-task approach. He tried to sandblast the big picture. He spent the offseason forging a cast-iron Notre Dame identity, but the way to fulfill it was to jettison the burdensome Notre Dame part. In two decades of success, Kelly never has coached with the stratospheric expectation and unrelenting scrutiny that will follow him with the Irish, beginning Saturday against Purdue. things out there that you would succumb to all the pressure." Few understand the toll that exacts, and no one can know how Kelly will react until he does. Those who know the challenge intimately say he can change Notre Dame's fortunes, as long as he does not let Notre Dame change him. "You have to keep your feet in reality," said Lou Holtz, the last Irish coach to win a national title. "You have to have a faith in yourself and what you're doing and how you're doing it. You have to be able to look in the mirror and know that you're doing the best you can." When Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick interviewed Kelly last December, he did not want a candidate with even dust-particle-sized doubts about his approach. Swarbrick says he encountered "a guy who said, 'This is what I do, this is how I do it. I know it works, and that's what I'll do if I'm your coach.'" Kelly followed through in everything from conditioning programs to redecorating the halls of the Guglelimino Athletics Complex. LOU HOLTZ Former Notre Dame coach "You have to have faith in yourself and what you're doing and how you're doing it." "He's an incredibly well- grounded, confident person who has a way he goes about doing things," Swarbric said. Among former Irish coach Bob Davie's largest regrets was not doing things the way he wanted them, immediately, after he succeeded Holtz. "Notre Dame can change you," Davie said. "You better do it the way Brian Kelly knows how to do it. You're going to get so much conversation on what's the right way to do it at Notre Dame. Do it the way you did it at Grand Valley State. That's the right way." Irish tight ends coach Mike Denbrock made previous stops at Notre Dame and with Kelly and says no coach focuses on the process as well. COLLEGE FOOTBALL "Yeah, it's an adjustment," Holtz said. "But it's an adjustment you know how to make because you've handled it on a much smaller scale." That micro approach to combat macro demands will be tried when calendars overflow with luncheons and appearances on a nationwide basis. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Inseparable Florida brothers play first game without each other GAINESVILLE, Fla. — For the first time ever Saturday, Florida Gators center Mike Pouncey will play in a football game without his identical twin brother, Maurkice. From Pop Warner to high school at Lakeland High to college at Florida, it's been Maurkice and Mike anchoring the offensive line. The two have always been inseparable — they took the same classes, wore the same clothes, and hung out with the same people. You couldn't tell them apart or get them to part, on or off the football field. But with Maurkice now playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike is back for his senior year as the offensive line's leader,rather than co-leader. "It's weird," said Mike, whose Florida Gators play Miami of Ohio on Saturday at noon. "He's somebody that been there with me my whole life." The duo always planned to play in the NFL together, as well. But this past spring, Maurkice decided to enter the NFL draft to help the family — the boys' stepdad, Robert Webster, lost his leg in a rail-car accident about two years ago — and allow Mike to play the center position, which could help his draft stock after this season. Mike chose to remain in college to pursue his degree and up his draft stock for this spring. Now they're apart, an inevitability that the brothers and best friends decided was for the best. "We'd become accustomed to it," said Mike, one of six team captains. "But it was going to happen. We were going different ways in life." The twins always strapped on each other's shoulder pads before each game. They always played corresponding positions: center and guard. They ate together, studied film together and practiced together. The good news, though, is Mike has spent a whole bunch of time with the other members of the offensive line. Three of the line's starters outside of Mike are seniors; Carl Johnson, Marcus Gilbert and Maurice Hurt. Those guys are all close, maybe not Mike and Maurkice close, but still close.

Garlington led the team with 10 kills. BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN The volleyball team will put its 4-0 record up against Akron, Arkansas and UT-Chattanooga this weekend, in the Jayhawk Classic at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Jayhawks are carrying their best record since 2005, after sweeping the Creighton Bluejay Invitational last weekend in Omaha and winning one at home on Tuesday against UMKC. "We're going to do some scouting here, but we've been focusing on the teams we've been playing in the past," said junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield. Of the three teams, current KU players have only gone up against Arkansas, whom they played and defeated last year. Mayfield said having won against Arkansas before gives the team confidence going into this game. Arkansas is coming in with a record of 3-0, Akron with 2-1 and UT-Chattanooga 0-3. "At this level, anybody can beat anybody. So, can't take a day off, can't play like it's going to be easy. This whole season it's about our side of the net, and we can scout them as much as we want, but we really have to focus on Kansas side," senior outside hitter Karina Garlington said. Garlington said the team was going to focus on the game as a whole and having consistency throughout. The first contact pass and serve is one of the most important aspects of the game. Keeping that consistent sets up the team's offense. Freshmen Kara Wehrs, Brianne Riley and Caroline Jarmoc have all started and seen significant playing time in the first four games of the season. "I think Kara's going to step up and do a very good job," said Garlington. "Bri's been lights-out, just doing an amazing job, so I think we're going to see a lot of those two. And then who knows, they're all capable, they're all really good players." at 7 p.m. The match against UT-Chattanooga will be Saturday at 1 p.m. The layhawks will play against Akron on today at noon and against Arkansas later that day Edited by Abby Davenport FIBA United States basketball team defeats winless Tunisia, 92-57 ASSOCIATED PRESS ISTANBUL — With nothing to play for, the United States looked as if it didn't want to play. Outworked and outhustled, the Americans led winless Tunisia by only four points early in the third quarter before turning the game into a rout over the final 15 minutes of a 92-57 victory Thursday. "It happens" center Lamat Odom said. "These teams are pumped up to play against us. You're not going to always blow a team out in the first three or four minutes of a game." Eric Gordon scored 21 points for the U.S., which had already clinched first place in its group and was more interested in getting through this one healthy — which it didn't do — than earning any style points. That's often what's expected of the powerful U.S., though. "It kind of like the Tour de France, except you have to win every stage," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "You have to look good in every stage." The U.S. (5-0), seeded first in Group B, next plays on Monday against Angola, the No. 4 seed from Group A. Reserve forward Rudy Gay sat out the second half with what was called a slightly pulled right groin. He is expected to be OK for the next game. The Americans misfired on nine of 10 3-point attempts in the first half and failed to show any sustained stretches of good offense, an occasional problem for the team during the group stage. The Americans have time to clean it up, with three days off before playing their first elimination game. "On these next few days, we have to get better," Krzyzewski said. for the U.S. team and Stephen Curry had 13. Marouan Kechrid scored 15 points and Macram Ben Romdhane added 11 for Tunisia, which went 0-5 in its first appearance in the worlds. "For our first participation, I am happy," Tunisia coach Adel "It's kind of like the Tour de France, except you have to win every stage." Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook each scored 14 points The U.S. opened with its three toughest opponents, then faced easy ones in Iran and Tunisia. Chauncey Billups, who earned the nickname "Mr. Big Shot" for his clutch play in big games, attributes the sloppiness the last two nights to the fact that little was at stake. "It's kind of tough, but the good thing about it is those games are over now and every game is as big as the next one now," Billups said. MIKE KRZYZEWSKI USA basketball coach Tlatli said. Krzyzewski played his starters the entire first quarter, which ended with the Americans up 19-13. The reserves went the whole second, and though they pushed the lead into double digits, Tunisia was within two in the final minute before the Americans got the final two baskets for a 39-33 lead. Clearly taking advantage of the Americans' lack of interest, Tunisia hustled to keep possessions alive, even ripping a couple of balls out of U.S. players' hands. But those extra possessions usually ended in missed shots. Tunisia hit 28 percent after entering the game at 36 percent for the tournament, second worst in the 24-team field. It's NOT too late...

Turkey KAYSERI, Turkey Aleksandar Rasic made four free throws in the last 11 seconds Thursday to help Serbia upset top-ranked Argentina 84-82 and win Group A at the basketball world championship. Argentina captain and Houston Rockets forward Luis Scola sank two free throws with 38 seconds left to make it 77-77, but Serbia's Dusko Savanovic hit a 3-pointer with 18 seconds remaining. Scola had 32 points, his fourth straight game of 30 or more. He is Argentina's all-time leading scorer at the worlds with 357 points. Ernesto "Finito" Gehrmann scored 331 points in the 1967 and 1974 events. Savanovic led Serbia with 19 points and Oklahoma City Thunder center Nenad Krstic added 18 points and eight rebounds. Krstic played his second game after a three-game suspension for a brawl against Greece. "If we can beat Argentina, we can beat anyone," Savanovic said. Both teams finished with 4-1 records. Scola had 10 points in the fourth quarter, but Krstic and Savanovic combined for 22 while battling Argentina's top player. By bringing in Rasic near the end, Serbia made sure it had its strongest free-throw shooter on the floor. Guard Milos Teodosic had the most playing time in the Serbian team, 28 minutes, and added 16 points. Serbia outrebounded Argentina 43-32. "This was probably the best game so far," Serbia coach Dusan Ivkovic said. "We trailed 20-7 at the start and we came back to finish the first quarter only two behind." Carlos Delfino of the Milwaukee Bucks played the entire 40 minutes and finished with 13 points, but none in the fourth quarter for Argentina. Scola played 35 minutes and made 12 of 19 shots. Argentina coach Sergio Hernandez said "two of the best teams in the world showed great talent and big character and personality. It was a tough but fain game." "We have learned a lot from Argentina in the last 10 years, especially their fighting spirit," Ivkovic said. "We also learned that you can't relax even for a second against Argentina and their veterans." Hernandez waved away suggestions that the loss may benefit Argentina because its next game is not until Tuesday, while Serbia must play on Saturday. "We don't care when we play, we don't care whom we play and we want to win every game," Hernandez said. Argentina guard Pablo Prigioni said the extra time would help the team recover and allow center Fabricio Oberto, who has yet to play, to recover fully from a gastric flu and fever. "This is the positive thing we can take from this game," Prigioni said. Ivkovic complained that the scheduling punished the top team in the group and said it would be tough to recover, especially with travel to Istanbul. "The team that stays in Istanbul has a definite advantage" he said. KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. 2010 / SPORTS 5B Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN 91 23 Mike Gunnoe/ANSA Jonathan Wilson runs the gauntlet in a ball security exercise at practice. Wilson and other starters are adjusting to Gill and his coaching staff. KICKOFF (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "I think coach Gill is concerned about developing depth and what is going to be our greatest chance to win. I think the other great thing about position changes or guys coming into new roles is that everyone has been mature about it." On the surface, the Mountain Valley Conference's Bison seem like an ideal opponent for Gill, Pick and the other unproven assets to make their debuts against. However, layhawk football coaches are only 2-6 in their debuts since 1971. Defensive coordinator Carl Torbush said nobody on the coaching staff is taking North Dakota State lightly. "We're going to have our hands full the first week, Torbush said. "I've been very, very impressed with North Dakota State on video. They run the ball extremely well. They're very, very patient and understand what they want to do." One of the keys to the Bison offense is their tight end tandem of senior Landon Smith and junior Matt Veldman, who stands just over 6 feet, 6 inches. "Both of them catch the ball extremely well." Torbush said. "They remind us of our tight ends in a way, only taller." Adjusting to Gill's system and his coaching staff has been tough at times for the seniors who spent at least three years under former coach Mark Mangino's system. But without a single member from the previous coaching staff, they must quickly adjust to the more offensive mindset. "In a sense it's going to feel different since we are not going to have the old coaching staff with us," Wilson said. "However, at the end of the day it is still football and I believe it is going to be the same." - Edited by Alex Tretbar COLLEGE FOOTBALL Barr spurns Irish for UCLA MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Here was a guy who could wake up some echoes. At least that was the expectation. Anthony Barr was a top college football prospect who toted around so many Notre Dame connections that youd have thought his family history was carved in the blarney stone. He was born in South Bend, Ind. His father was a running back at Notre Dame. His uncle was a running back at Notre Dame. Another uncle was a Fighting Irish linebacker. His mother attended St. Mary's College, just a punt, pass or kick across U.S. Highway 31 from Notre Dame. His grandmother's brother went to Notre Dame, as did two of his aunts. Or was it three? Barr is not quite sure. But Barr does remember the assortment of Fighting clothes, trinkets and other paraphernalia that made his bedroom look like a set from the movie "Rudy." Yet, the 6-foot-5, 230-pound freshman is in Los Angeles, not South Bend. Barr chose UCLA over family tradition. One consolation: "We can still watch him beat USC and we'll be very happy with that," said Lori Barr, his mother. UCLA football fans won't have to wait long to become well-acquainted. Look for Barr at the multiple-purpose "F-back" position Saturday in the Bruins' season opener at Kansas State. The plain-as-the-gold-on-your-dome fact is that Barr liked UCLA. He felt comfortable there. And, he said, the idea of "creating my own legacy" was appealing. "Someone told me they would have bet money that Anthony would go to Notre Dame," Lori Barr said, laughing. "I told them I bet my son on it and I lost." Why Barr was high on so many recruiting lists is apparent at first glance. "You don't see too many kids who are 6-5, 230 and are as graceful as he is," UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said. College coaches flocked to Los Angeles Loyola High to drop in on Barr even after he suffered a broken leg in the second game of his senior season. USC even took a shot, though Barr said, "With my family, I would have had to change my name if I went there. I would have been disowned." Barr was a wanted young man even though he was hard to define. He gained 1,890 yards rushing as a junior, but his size, speed and other considerable skills Norm Chow, UCLAs offensive coordinator, saw Barr as a perfect component in the Bruins' new "pistol" offense. The "F-back" position is a hybrid tight end-wide receiverrunning back whose goal is to create mismatches. made him desirable at a number of positions. "He scored 60 points in a game one time when he was 7," Lori Barr said. "The park manager came over and said, 'You guys can't be in this league.'" "The first time he played football, he was running with the ball, knocking kids down," Lori Barn said. "It was flag football. Some parent came over and said, 'That kid is going to play Division I football.' I said, 'You're nuts' but inside I was thinking, 'Yeah, I know.'" me" UCLA strong safety Tony Dye said. "I'm glad other teams have to worry about bringing him down on Saturdays." Lori Barr was wrong, however, about where her son would play college football. Notre Dame seemed a given. "The one thing to keep in mind when he's coming at you is, 'He can run me over or he can run around Tony Brooks, Barr's father, rushed for 2,274 yards playing at Notre Dame from 1987-91. Reggie "Someone told me they would have bet money that Anthony would go to Notre Dame." LORI BARR Anthony Barr's mother That has always been a chore. Brooks, his uncle, led the Fighting Irish with 1,375 rushing yards in 1992 and finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting. Cedric Figaro, another uncle, was a Notre Dame line- team's goals against total was 100 more than the amount of goals Kansas scored. For Prendergast and the rest of the team, the upside is that next year is finally here, and as of now, every team is undefeated. The books have closed on last season, and a new chapter in Kansas hockey is about to be written. ICE (CONTINUED FROM 1B) There are still Irish eyes shining within the family. Reggie Brooks is the manager of football alumni at Notre Dame. backer in the mid-1980s. All three played in the NFL. Those are ties that usually bind generations. But Barr was concerned about the coaching change in South Bend after Charlie Weis was fired. "It wasn't just the head coach, but the position coach I was close to during the recruiting process," Barr said. Barr's family left South Bend when he was a baby but often returned to go to games. The chapter starts with the new players. This season, upwards of seven new prospects join the team, and all are looking to be the stand-out that impresses Prendergast. Playing at the college level, rookies need to understand what the opponent is bringing to the table. Another area that Prendergast looks at is hitting. "At this level kids know how to hit, they have more physical mass and have learned the art of the hip-check," he said. "They are bigger, faster and stronger." Prendergast said. "You could be a really good high school player, but that doesn't make you a good college player." The ongoing tryouts will culminate after the first two games of the season against Purdue. This first road trip is crucial for the squad's rookies. Prendergast is leaving two lines of veterans at home in an attempt to see what the rookies are made of, and cuts will be made after he can get a better idea of who fits with the program. As with any newcomer, walking into a new locker room is tough; teammates likely already have chemistry built and understand each other. The layhawks are no different, except that they waste no time in renovating their bonds. Prendergast leaves bonding up to his veterans. Along with football viewing parties, Grant Worden, team president and defenseman, said that road trips bring the team together. "We like to get together for the football games," winger Josh Delesha said. "Being in a hotel room with the other guys, you kinda get a feel for everybody," he said. Delesha and Worden said last year was disheartening and hard to take, but now they are hopeful and anticipating a great season. "It was a whole team letdown," Delesha said. "You work real hard to get a goal and they come back two seconds later and throw two in the net. It's hard to work hard after you've been put down 4-1 in the first period." For Prendergast, working hard doesn't just involve practices and games. When it comes to his team. Prendergast has a clear stance on his players' educations. "Academics is the reason they're all here," he said. "So that has to be number one." Prendergast will help out this year. But with home games in Overland Park it can be hard to draw a big crowd. Prendergast said he thinks Kansas students should support the team more. "You could be a really good high school player, but that doesn't make you a good college player." "Hockey is a great sport to watch, it's one of the best spectator sports you can get," said Prendergast. "On a Saturday afternoon its a great way to get out and show some team spirit." Using last year as fuel, the Jayhawks look to prove to the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Hockey Association that the University of Kansas is here to play. In past years Kansas has been the underdog. wants dedication to Kansas to come in forms other than on-ice production. He is looking for success in life after college hockey, with or without the game. With the advancement of hitting and scoring at the college level, those who are new to the sport will surely be satisfied. It is the team's expectation that having a strong and supportive environment at home will give it an advantage this season. TOM PRENDERGAST Coach On the rink, however, the group hopes that some home cooking 2010 looks to be the year that the status quo changes. "We are much more positive." Prendergast said. NFL This is a playoff-or-bust team, and with the squad that Kansas has now, it looks to be an achievable goal. The Kansas Men's Hockey Club is here to welcome Kansas to the world of Hockey. Edited by Alex Tretbar Chiefs hold off Packers ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Cassel and Brodie Croyle each led touchdown drives and the Kansas City Chiefs beat Green Bay 17-13 Thursday night for their first preseason victory since 2008. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and a host of other Green Bay starters didn't suit up for the final tuneup of the preseason. Backup signal-caller Matt Flynn played into the third quarter and hit 23 of 37 passes for 304 yards, much of it against backups. Running back Ryan Grant and cornerback Charles Woodson also did not dress for what was expected to be a rainy night but actually remained dry. Held out with injuries were nine other Packers, including four other starters: linebackers Clay Matthews and Brad Jones, defensive end Cullen Jenkins and tackle Chad Clifton. Finally, facing a host of backups, the Packers (2-2) got rolling, driving from their 24 to first down at the 10. But rookie defensive back Kendrick Lewis broke up a pass on the goal line on Rodgers, who led the No.1 offense on three touchdown drives in one half against Indianapolis last Thursday, watched Flynn go three-and-out in Green Bay's first four possessions. third down and then a fourth-down pass was incomplete. Cassel got off to his typically slow start, but wound up hitting 4 of 9 throws for 58 yards, with one interception and a 2-yard TD pass to a wide-open Leonard Pope late in the first quarter.

Rookie Javier Arenas returned a pount 44 yards to the Green Bay 33, but the Chiefs went three-and-out. The Green Bay punting battle between Tim Masthay and Chris Bryan tilted toward Masthay.

The University of Missouri, last year's champion, will host the competition in Verona, N. Y., Sept. 5-6. Kansas' young squad will rely heavily on the skills and leadership of senior captain Nate Barbee. Barbee participated in the NCAA Southwest Regional last season and tied for 39th place. "We are really excited for this weekend," Barbee said in a press release. "It will be a good test. They played a PGA tour there (Turner Stone) this summer, so it will be fun to play there. I think we have a good chance to win." Making their KU debuts at the tournament are freshman David Catt and junior Doug Quinones, a transfer from New Mexico Junior College. Quinones won the Scratch Match Play at Centennial Golf Club this summer, where he used to work part time. Coach Kit Grove has been emphasizing the short game to his team as a means to help his athletes perform at their highest level. "We just beat the short game to death," Grove said. "You can mask a lot of weakness by having a strong short game." Other teams in the field this weekend include Missouri, Purdue, Binghamton, Niagara, Connecticut and George Washington. Despite the team's inexperience, Barbee remains optimistic. "As a team, we want to win as many tournaments as we can," Barbee said in the release.

Associated Press SOCCER Team travels to Northwestern KANSAS 14 20 BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com The soccer team continues its five-game road trip tonight as it travels to Illinois to face Northwestern. Kansas (1-1) comes into the weekend after losing to Georgia on Aug. 29. Coach Mark Francis said it was good that the Georgia game was early in the season. Freshman midfielder Madi Hills pushes past two Eastern Kentucky defenders during the second half last week. The Jayhawks defeated the Colonels 3-0 on the season opener. Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO The game allowed the layhawks to see how they needed to improve. In order to prepare for Northwestern (2-1-1), the team focused on picking up the pace of play and having a better build-up in the midfield. They also worked on being more physical and stronger on the ball. "We focused on winning balls in the air," sophomore midfielder Sarah Robbins said. Francis said during Media Day that the defense needed to improve, and he was pleased with its performance on Sunday. Francis said that the goals came because Bulldog players were not being covered properly. He thought that the defense played well and that sophomore goal-keeper Kat Liebetrau had a strong showing in goal. The layhawks will need another strong performance from Liebetrau if they want to win against Northwestern. The Wildcats, who come into the game ranked No. 14 in the Soccer America Poll and also received votes in the NSCAA poll, are led by freshman forward Kate Allen, who has three of the team's four goals. The coaching staff watched film of Northwestern on Thursday and Francis thinks he has a good game plan. The team needs to stay healthy as it enters the middle of its road trip. "We need to take every opportunity to rest our bodies." Robbins said. The Jayhawks will travel to Normal, Ill., to face Illinois State (2-2) on Sunday. The redbirds will come into Sunday's game well-rested because they did not have to play a Friday night game. Junior forward Jessica Carlson and freshman forward Kyla Cross lead the attack for ISU with 12 and 11 shots, respectively. However, neither has been able to find the back of the net. The team cannot look ahead to Sunday until Friday's game is finished. "We need to keep sight of our goals," freshman midfielder Caroline Kastor said. "We need to take it each game at a time."

For junior tight end Tim Biere, that may have been a blessing in disguise. Biere dropped three passes, all on third down, and fumbled his only two receptions as North Dakota State stunned Kansas 6-3 at Memorial Stadium. "That wasn't Tim out there," said freshman quarterback Jordan Webb. "He is a great player. He is definitely one of the best tight ends I've ever seen or been around. But we're going to keep going back to him." Biere's first fumble came on his first reception of the season in the third quarter. The second fumble cost the Jayhawks (0-1) one of their final drives as Biere lost possession near midfield. Junior receiver Daymond Patterson approached Biere in the locker room after the defeat. Patterson said he knows if the Jayhawks are to rebound from this defeat, their tight end cannot have hangover from one of the worst games for a Jayhawk in the program's history. "I told him to keep his head up," Patterson said. "We know those are plays he will make more times than he doesn't. To tell you the truth, I'm not even worried about the game Tim had tonight. He is going to finished 13-for-22 with 138 yards and an interception. "We never really got our chemistry on offense," Pick said. "Everybody had their moments and everybody had rough points in the game. As a unit, we just didn't click." While Webb was expected to see some playing time, the move was an outurl benching of a player the coaching staff decided was the man two weeks ago. Webb produced mixed results in his brief time on the field, going 6-for-11 but getting sacked twice. Call "I need to watch the videotape so I can see a lot more details," Gill said. "You have to hope that you score more than three points, not to take away from North Dakota State." "You have to hope that you score more than three points, not to take away from North Dakota State" Gill was uncommitted on naming a starter for next Saturday's home matchup with Georgia Tech. The Jayhawks allowed only two field goals to the Bison (1-0), but their offense could only put senior kicker Jacob Branstetter in position for three attempts of their own. Branstetter put the Jayhawks on the board first with a 25-yard field goal but would later miss from distances 53 and 42 yards. Angus Quigley and freshman DeShaun Sands struggled, failing numerous times in short yardage situations. In fact, the leading rusher would end up being Patterson, who finished 63 yards rush on three carries and 66 yards receiving on six catches. "The coaches try to get you a ball in a lot of different ways, trying to make the offense unpredictable," Patterson said. "I definitely expect to see more carries going forward." While the defense made their tackles and prevented the big play, senior linebacker Justin Springer still sees room for improvement. Edited by Roshni Oommen The defense was able to limit the Bison to a 3.1 yard average gain per play and a 2.3 yard average per rush, but the "We have to get better," Springer said.

Stafford's first pass was deflected and the second — a short pass to the flat intended for Calvin Johnson — was picked off by Florence, who returned it 40 yards for a score. He helped Detroit drive to the Buffalo 28, but receiver Nate Burleson was called for holding and pushed the team back to a second-and-20 at midfield and Stafford didn't attempt to make a big play to get a first down. Stafford was 3 of 6 for 21 yards and an interception. The No.1 pick of the 2009 NFL draft was much more effective in his first three preseason games, completing 74 percent of his passes for 332 yards, three TDs and an interception. Edwards was very efficient and made coach Chan Gailey proud by taking a calculated chance deep downfield, connecting on a long pass to a leaping Evans. Lynch was lackluster in his return, while Spiller, who has been spectacular, watched on the sideline in football pants, a jersey and baseball cap. Chad Simpson's 1-yard run pulled the Bills within five with 16 seconds left. Buffalo then conceded the exhibition by kicking deep instead of attempting an inside kick. FEATURE 3 KU 20 7 KANSAS READY FOR PRESSURE Odds don't worry new Kansas QB Kale Pick By Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com There's a lot of scrutiny coming at Kale Pick this fall. Turner Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long are former standout collegiate quarterbacks, the memory of Todd Reesing is still fresh and Pick has been the official starter for barely more than two weeks. Reesing has seen Pick in practices and scrimmages and his main advice to Pick was to have fun with the game. Rather than crumble under the pressure, Kale Pick is utilizing it. During breaks from conditioning, Pick sought advice from Reesing. Pick says that any quarterback would take the career Reesing had. "He just told me to go out and do what I do," Pick says. When Pick and the rest of the offense take the field Saturday, he'll be without three offensive anchors of the past three seasons. Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier, both NFL draft picks, accounted for 162 catches and 13 touchdowns last season. Throw in Jake What Pick can do is bring another dimension to the quarterback position. Along with the strong arm, he has shown the ability to scramble out of the pocket when a play is blown up. In seven games last season, Pick rushed for 167 yards on only 14 attempts. Whether that was a freshman quarterback not trusting his arm yet and simply relying on instincts or a sign of what Jayhawk fans will see throughout the fall remains to be seen. Sharp's graduation and Toben Opurum's switch to linebacker, and the offense is a mere shell of 2009. Despite this, Pick is optimistic about his receiving corps even though expectations are low. He says that they could have a great year as a unit. "We want to show coach Gill that we mean business" Pick says. "This isn't just a rebuilding year, we're going out to win ballgames." "We have a lot of talent there and they have a great work ethic," he says. The wide receiver duo of Johnathan Wilson and Bradley McDougald are the only returning pass catchers with more than 30 catches, and they will have to step up this season for Pick to be successful. Pick does believe the Jayhawks have the talent to compete in the Big 12 North. Most of the critics have the Jayhawks finishing between third and fifth in the Big 12 North. The team will be tested with tough early games against #16 Georgia Tech in week two and traveling to Hattiesburg, Miss., to play Southern Miss in week three. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Instead of being intimidated by the quarterback careers of Gill and Long, Pick has used the two men as sources of inspiration in the short time they have been with the team. "They've really stressed the importance of the work ethic they've had to be successful." Pick says.

For junior tight end Tim Biere, that may have been a blessing in disguise. Biere dropped three passes, all on third down, and fumbled his only two receptions as North Dakota State stunned Kansas 6-3 at Memorial Stadium. "That wasn't Tim out there," said freshman quarterback Jordan Webb. "He is a great player. He is definitely one of the best tight ends I've ever seen or been around. But we're going to keep going back to him." "I told him to keep his head up," Patterson said. "We know those are plays he will make more times than he doesn't.

"We never really got our chemistry on offense." Pick said. "Everybody had their moments and everybody had rough points in the game. As a unit, we just didn't click." Webb produced mixed results in his brief time on the field, going 6-for-11 but getting sacked twice. While Webb was expected to see some playing time, the move was an outburst benching of a player the coaching staff decided was the man two weeks ago. The Jayhawks allowed only two field goals to the Bison (1-0), but their offense could only put senior kicker Jacob Branstetter in position for three attempts of their own. Branstetter put the Jayhawks on the board first with a 25-yard field goal but would later miss from distances 53 and 42 yards.

MOMENTUM Matt Galloway On the bright side, everyone starts the season undefeated. It is hard to translate how the Jayhawks did on the practice field to momentum, but they seem to be responding well to Gill's player-friendly style.

Kansas isn't favored to do any damage in the Big 12, but the sixth-place team in the Missouri Valley is a different story. Unless new running back D.J. McNorton can far exceed the success of his predecessor Pat Paschall — who ran for well over 1,000 yards in his senior campaign — the Bison will be nothing short of Jayhawk fodder by the time the final bell sounds. AT A GLANCE All contents, unless stated otherwise, © 2010 The University Daily Kansan Sophomore quarterback Jose Mohler Just like Kale Pick, Mohler emerged as the starter after the completion of last season. He started the last four Mohler games last season and showed the capability to run. He's had time to improve his 59.7 percent passing in the offseason. Mohler is a bit of a dual threat with his ability to run and pass, so the Kansas defense will be tested early. weather.com QUESTION MARKS WEDNESDAY 86 66 Can North Dakota State ruin Turner Gill's debut?

FOOTBALL 7 WINNING VALUES Turner Gill infuses his coaching style with concern for players and staff By Kathleen Gier koier@kansan.com A coach can fulfill his job duties with a playbook and a whistle, but Turner Gill puts his own spin on the job. He wants people to describe him in three ways: positive, genuine and a man of integrity. Family Man "I try to follow what I say I am going to do." Gill said. "No one is perfect, but those are the true values for me: being there for my family, but also service to others." Gill's oldest daughter, junior Jordan Gill, came to Kansas when her father was still coaching at the University of Buffalo. The prospect of bringing his family together attracted Gill to the coaching job at Kansas. Gill attributes his focus on family back to his ball facilities. "He won't keep you long hours away from your family," Dailey says. "He understands how important family is and for you to be seen as a father and husband." Nebraska assistant coach Ron Brown coached with Gill for 12 years and they still keep in contact. Gill started his family before Brown, but Gill's younger daughter and Brown's oldest daughter were born around the same time. Brown says he looked to the Gills when figuring out how to raise his own daughters. The families became friends as Gill and Brown would coach and attend Bible study together. Their wives also became friends. Brown describes Gill as intense and serious, but also as a hearty laugher. Though they have been apart since Gill left Nebraska, their devotion to God, love for the game of positive and optimistic which goes into what he does on and off the field," Brown says. "That is my purpose here on Earth and I believe that and I know that," Gill says. "I understand that and I know how I am wired." With the help of Brown and other influences in his life, Gill decided to be a coach to help make a positive difference in the lives of young athletes. With his experiences Gill recognizes that he has an ability to connect with the young men on his team and give them guidance. Dailey saw this not only as a player for Gill, but as an assistant coach later in his career with Gill. His Christian values and his authenticity as a person separate him from not just other coaches, but from other people, Dailey says. Dailey can attest to the success of the Turner Gill style of development. He came "Anything I do, anything I say, I have to go back to that statement," Gill says. "If it is not answering that vision I know it is not the correct thing to do so that keeps everything in perspective." pect of the lives of the student athletes and staff" After 12 years of coaching with Gill, Brown knows what Kansas fans and players should expect from Gill. The coaches will love their players, he says. "He will treat his players with great value;" Brown says. From playing under Gill to coaching alongside him, the thing that has stuck out the most to Dailey is the way Gill approaches the student athletes. Rather than lead with an iron fist, Gill is more concerned with the emotional aspect. "He is very aware that when the guys feel encouraged and empowered they play better than when they fear not doing well." —Joe Dailey "He is more concerned about the players own parents and says he is thrilled to have his family back together in one location. After being away from his daughter before coming to work at Kansas, he now values the opportunity to spend time with her. "I think that is special and it is a dream come true for me," Gill says. His family values are even apparent to people whom he works with. Joe Dailey played for Gill at Nebraska and Gill hired him as an assistant coach at Buffalo. Gill leads by example and his beliefs were Daley's biggest influence. One thing that stood out to Dailey was that Gill not only focuses on his own family, but the families of each staff member working with him. When Gill plans the weekly schedule, he designates two nights a week when practice will be done in time for his staff to get home in time for dinner. Families were always a part of the work atmosphere with Gill; his family was a fixture at the foot- football and mutual respect for each other has kept them close. "If you don't like Turner, there may be something wrong with you," Brown says. Man of Service "I am very passionate about developing young men — obviously their skills on the football field, but also their skills as far as being prepared to be the best husbands they can be, the best fathers they can be and the best people they can be in our society," Gill says. "God had given him faith which made him Gill believes that in this he has found his niche where he can be most helpful to his young players. Finding this passion took years and many talks with his family and a small group of mentors. One of these mentors was Brown. Brown says that it became obvious early in Gill's career that he had great potential as a coach. from a rough situation and says his parents handed him over to Gill to play for him at Nebraska. "It is not just something written in storybooks, it is actually real," Dailey says. Dailey left Nebraska shortly after Gill, but the two stayed in touch. When Gill became head coach at Buffalo, he offered Dailey his first job as an assistant coach. "I have the utmost respect for him and love him a great deal because I see him as a father-figure, pivotal role to my life and how I developed as a man," Dailey says. Now that Gill has come to Kansas, he brought Dailey with him as the on-campus recruiting director for the team. Football Coach Gill takes the team's vision statement for this year seriously:"To provide a positive and motivating environment that encourages excellence, growth and balance in every as- psyche and their emotions and he is very aware that when the guys feel encouraged and empowered — they play better than when they fear not doing well." At the beginning of the season, Gill had each player fill out a survey. The survey asked about the players' relationships with their mothers and fathers, what made them mad, angry, and sad, and what motivates them. "You need to understand a person first to be a teacher," Gill said. "So we take the time to get to know them and not just teaching them the game of football and things of that nature, but there are some other things that I think you need to do so that a person can be more productive on a regular basis." Gill knows how important the role of a coach is for young men between the ages of 18 and 22 years old. "We as coaches can have a great impact not only from a football standpoint," Gill says. "That is why I love coaching." THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN An introduction to the candidates for freshman student senate. Elections are Tuesday and Wednesday.

For junior tight end Tim Biere, that may have been a blessing in disguise. Biere dropped three passes, all on third down, and fumbled his only two receptions as North Dakota State stunned Kansas 6-3 at Memorial Stadium. Junior receiver Daymond Patterson approached Biere in the locker room after the defeat. Patterson said he knows if the Jayhawks are to rebound from this defeat, their tight end cannot have hangover from one of the worst games for a Jayhawk in the program's history. "I told him to keep his head up," Patterson said. "We know those are plays he will make more times than he doesn't. To tell you the truth, I'm not even worried about the game Tim had tonight. He is going to "That wasn't Tim out there," said freshman quarterback Jordan Webb. "He is a great player. He is definitely one of the best tight ends I've ever seen or been around. But we're going to keep going back to him." Biere's first fumble came on his first reception of the season in the third quarter. The second fumble cost the Jayhawks (0-1) one of their final drives as Biere lost possession near midfield. finished 13-for-22 with 138 yards and an interception. just didn't click." "We never really got our chemistry on offense," Pick said. "Everybody had their moments and everybody had rough points in the game. As a unit, we just didn't click." While Webb was expected to see some playing time, the move was an outright benching of a player the coaching staff decided was the man two weeks ago. Webb produced mixed results in his brief time on the field, going 6-for-11 but getting sacked twice. Gill was uncommitted The Jayhawks allowed only two field goals to the Bison (1-0), but their offense could only put senior kicker Jacob Branstetter in position for three attempts of their own. Branstetter put the Jayhawks on the board first with a 25-yard field goal but would later miss from distances 53 and 42 yards. "I need to watch the videotape so I can see a lot more details," Gill said. "You have to hope that you score more than three points, not to take away from North Dakota State." Gill was uncommitted on naming a starter for next Saturday's home matchup with Georgia Tech. "You have to hope that you score more than three points, not to take away from North Dakota State." Angus Quigley and freshman DeShaun Sands struggled, failing numerous times in short yardage situations. In fact, the leading rusher would end up being Patterson, who finished 63 yards rushing on three carries TURNER GILL Coach and 66 yards receiving on six catches. "The coaches try to get you a ball in a lot of different ways, trying to make the offense unpredictable," Patterson said. "I definitely expect to see more carries going forward." The defense was able to limit the Bison to a 3.1 yard average gain per play and a 2.3 yard average per rush, but the performance was wasted by the offense's struggles. The six points were the fewest allowed in a Jayhawk loss since they fell 6-3 to Texas Christian University on Sept. 22, 1962. While the defense made their tackles and prevented the big play, senior linebacker Justin Springer still sees room for improvement. "We have to get better." Springer said.

Stafford was 3 of 6 for 21 yards and an interception.

Strong winds spread Colorado wildfire, homes evacuated No injuries were reported. Authorities could not say how many structures burned down, but they said at least some of them were houses. The fire started in Four Mile Canyon northwest of Boulder, and erratic winds gusting to 45 mph spread the flames both to the west and northeast. At least four roads in the area were closed, and a billowing, white plume of heavy smoke was visible for miles. County health officials advised residents to stay indoors if the smoky air became irritating. The cause of the fire was unknown. About 200 homes scattered in and near the canyon were evacuated earlier in the day. Authorities said residents of seven other subdivisions were ordered to evacuate by Monday night. The Boulder County Emergency Management Office website said Boulder County sheriff's Cmdr. Rick Brough said the fire moved quickly through difficult country. "It's very rocky, hilly, mountain-ous terrain," he said. the county's telephone alert system wasn't working properly and advised residents in the evacuation areas to leave rather than waiting for a call from authorities. Emergency Management spokesman James Burrus said the area was too big for authorities to go door-to-door, and officials were relying on the media to alert residents. At least 100 buildings were threatened and one fire vehicle was destroyed. No details on the vehicle were available, Burrus said. Late in the day, winds subsided enough that three aerial tankers were able to begin dropping fire retardant shortly before 6 p.m. The Red Cross set up an overnight evacuation center at the Coors Events Center on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder.

Tuttle said they update parents with useful information in their monthly newsletter. The information can range from important school dates to suggestions for keeping a good relationship with children. Tuttle said that, for example, making plans for the holiday vacation can be stressful. "We tell parents to share their expectations. Don't expect your student to want to spend all their time with family," she said. "So if Aunt Ethel's 90th birthday party is a command performance — do not miss — then you need to tell your student up front: 'I really expect you there, we need you there, but if you need to be doing other things the other time you're here, I understand.'" "You are no longer able to protect them and be there and do all the things you used to. But they should know if they need anything - forget if you're going to punish them - you're going to lend them an ear," Gillath said. "The huge difference we see in our studies between kids that are adjusting and those that are dropping out of college is whether or Tuttle said they have a phone line for parents, 864-5872, and an e-mail address, parents@ku.edu. She said parents will even call when they haven't heard from their child, asking for help finding them. not they know that there is someone out there for them" Parents, just like newly independent students, have a hard time making the adjustment. Gillath said it's important to find a healthy balance between autonomy and independence. Students need to be able to make their own decisions, but also to know that their parents support them. Sometimes, only time can ease the difficulty. "One mother was really very concerned this summer about who's going to make sure that her son got to class," Tuttle said. "The fact of the matter is that you've had him for 18 years, maam. If you don't trust him to get to class, then perhaps he needs to go to a school where he lives at home and you can get him up. Really, only he's responsible for his choices." DeWitte said her relationship with her parents is good. She said she talks with her parents every day, but that they're not overbearing. Still, even with supportive parents, making the move to live independently for the first time - particularly in a new town - is challenging. "I knew the transition was going to be hard, but I don't know — I want to go home all the time," DeWitte said. "Once I meet more people, it'll get better." Edited by Sean Tokarz GOVERNMENT Events to promote disaster awareness BY TAYLOR WITT twitt@kansan.com The Department of Homeland Security begins the seventh annual National Preparedness Month this September, and Lawrence will once again be taking part in the cause. The goal of National Preparedness Month, which is sponsored by the Ready Campaign, is to prepare Americans for disasters and emergencies in their communities, businesses and homes. Throughout September, organizations that have joined the NPM Coalition share information about preparation for disasters, such as floods, fires, tornadoes, earthquakes and terrorist attacks. Ready Campaign director Darryl J. Madden is starting his first year of leading the campaign this month, and hopes to increase membership in the campaign's activities and awareness of safety preparations. "We set out to have a really successful year for a variety of reasons," Madden said. "We're looking at this year as a foundation year, which is going to be really important because next year is the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and the whole campaign is built after that." The attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon caused the Department of Homeland Security to realize the need for a nationwide public service campaign for information about disasters. After the inception of National Preparedness Month in 2003, coalition membership has grown steadily. 2009 had approximately 3200 different members and organizations across the country, and that number has grown to at least 200 members so far in 2010. "The response has really just been overwhelming," Madden said. "We're really pleased with the measure of success we've had so far." 2010 marks the fourth year Lawrence has participated in National Preparedness Month. Douglas County Emergency Management is partnering with Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical, Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, and Roger Hill Volunteer Center to host several events to prepare the community. "9/11 Drill Down for Safety" encourages Douglas County to practice its emergency plans during the weekend of Sept. 11. Douglas County Preparedness Fair is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. There will be games, a kids table, booths on emergency preparedness, and door prizes. There will also be presentations on fire safety and first aid, and a severe weather presentation from Matt Elwell of Channel 6 News. Preparedness Month asks all citizens to take small steps, such as preparing an emergency supply kit, recording vital contact information, and having a solid plan for the entire family in the event of a disaster, to help keep everyone prepared for a variety of emergencies. "We're trying to build a safe nation, first by educating, then by driving people to action," Madden said. Edited by Michael Bednar You Have an Option Exercise it!

Student Health Services started a few services over the summer to improve its availability to students. HOW TO ACCESS THE KU STUDENT HEALTH PATIENT PORTAL Gillespie said Student Health Services began e-mailing students appointment reminders about a month ago. Before, individual departments were responsible for choosing whether to remind students of appointments. Now students who have an appointment will receive an e-mail the night before. "We can really have a 24/7 presence," said Joe Gillespie, associate director of Student Health Services. Tyler Pfizenmaier, a graduate student from Manhattan, said appointment reminders would be helpful because he tends to forget things like that. He said he checks his e-mail a lot for school-related reasons, so he would likely see an appointment reminder. A tool to view and cancel appointments is available on the patient portal. The combination of appointment reminders and the ability to cancel appointments online can be beneficial for students, said Sherry Rhine, the medical records supervisor for Student Health Services.

She said she's seen an increase of students Other tools available on the portal include secured messaging, reviewing account balance and viewing immunization records. going online to view appointment times and cancel appointments. CONTRIBUTED IMAGE This method differs from e-mail because conversations that occur through secured messaging are added to a student's electronic medical record. Secured messaging allows medical providers to communicate with patients online. Students are notified through e-mail if they have a secure message waiting for them on the portal. Students who have secure messages can respond to their provider. Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor for Student Health Services "We can really have a 24/7 presence." JOE GILLESPIE Associate Director, Student Health Services said secured messaging allows a convenient method for medical providers to share non-urgent information such as normal lab results and patient education material with students. Another feature of the portal is access to immunization records the health center has on file. Gillespie said this is helpful for "Each generation is becoming more technologically savvy," Quinlan said. "People are getting used to sending and receiving messages on their own time." students in the military and students graduating soon who want a record of their immunizations. If students don't want online notifications, they can opt out when filling out Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act forms. Watkins Pharmacy is also using an interactive phone system, Gillespie said. Gillespie said Student Health Services plan to add more tools to the patient portal within the next year. These include making appointments, paying bills, initiating secure messages with medical providers and requesting prescriptions online. When individuals call the pharmacy, an automated voice asks if they are calling to refill a prescription. The caller is then asked to insert his or her student ID number and prescription number. NATIONAL Edited by Sean Tokarz ASSOCIATED PRESS Plane wrecks in southern Nevada neighborhood HENDERSON, Nev. — A small plane crashed and burst into flames on a street in a southern Nevada residential neighborhood Monday, killing one person and badly injuring three others, authorities said. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sgt. John Sheahan said two males and two females were aboard the single-engine Piper Cheroke when it crashed in Henderson, just south of Las Vegas. He said it was a miracle no one on the ground was injured. "I think we can attribute that to the pilot trying to put it down in a safe place," he said. "You're talking the plane crashed maybe 20 or 30 feet (from the nearest home)." The debris field is a block long, and one of the wings ended up in the backyard of a home, the sergeant said. The main body of the fuselage came to rest on Morning Mauve Avenue. Police Lt. Joe Ojeda told the Las Vegas Sun that the plane struck two block walls, a streetlight pole and a tree before landing in the street, and that residents pulled two occupants from the burning wreckage before firefighters arrived. The two were conscious at the time, he said. "It appeared the way the aircraft was lined up that he did try to land on the road itself," Ojeda told the Sun. "On first blush it looks like he did try to do some kind of maneuver to get down as safely as he could." The injured, whose identities were not released, were taken University Medical Center with life-threatening burns and trauma. Hospital spokeswoman Danita Cohen said two were listed in serious condition and one in critical condition. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the plane took off from Henderson Executive Airport shortly after 8 a.m. and was unable to gain altitude. The pilot tried to return to Henderson but crashed about two miles northwest of the airport. No flight plan was filed, authorities said, and the destination of the plane was not immediately known. The aircraft was registered to a Louisiana resident. National Transportation Safety Board investigator Joshua Cawthra told reporters at the scene late Monday afternoon that he would examine the histories of the aircraft and pilot and sift through the wreckage for clues. A preliminary report on the crash will be available later this week, he said, and the full investigation will take six months to a year to complete. "I really want to reinstate some normal life here because I know it's pretty tragic," Cawthra said. "It's going to be a long few days." The plane had arrived at the Henderson airport Thursday, he added. Robert Sutton told KLAS-TV in Las Vegas that he heard the sputtering plane pass over his house at low altitude before there was a loud boom a few seconds later. He and other residents doused the flames with hoses, then flipped the upside-down plane over and tried to help two victims trapped inside. 'Two other people in the plane were sitting in someone's yard, he said. Sutton said he saw a woman in the plane who was coherent. "She was really badly burned. Her face was so badly burned, and she could barely open her eyes, and her hair was all burned," Sutton told KLAS. osa@ku.edu / 105 Lippincott / 785.864.3742 osa@ku.edu / 105 Lippincott / 785.864.3742 STUDY ABROAD FAIR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8TH 10:30 am - 3:30 pm 4th floor lobby of the Kansas Union www.studyabroad.ku.edu 41 it A th C A s S O w U i o t / ] ] 4A ENTERTAINMENT / TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM BOX OFFICE 3-D hits increase revenue MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Fewer paying customers showed up for this summer's movies than in any summer since 1997, but Hollywood still raked in record receipts of $4.35 billion. The answer to this seeming contradiction: 3-D. Thanks largely to higher admission prices for 3-D presentations, revenue rose a projected 2 percent from summer 2009, even while the estimated number of tickets sold dropped 3 percent from last year to 552 million, according to Hollywood.com, which tracks box-office numbers. The figures are closely monitored in the film industry, which typically draws about 40 percent of its annual theatrical revenue from the first weekend of May through Labor Day. The summer's top-grossing film, "Toy Story 3" from Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Studios, drew more than half its receipts from 3-D showings. "There's no question that if it's a movie people want to see, they're willing to pay for 3-D that enhances the experience," said Paramount Pictures Vice Chairman Rob Moore. Some movies, of course, were duds by any measure. Among Summer 2010's biggest flops was "Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore."

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS China should be seen as a partner, not a threat When you sit back and reflect on the current events of the summer As Chrystia Freeland, a contributing columnist for the Washington Post, recently wrote, "When future historians look back to the summer of 2010, the event they are most likely to focus on is China's emergence as the world's second largest economy" Add this new economic ranking to the list of what China already has—the greatest population, largest standing army, most internet users—and you'll see why the American public is beginning to question China's rise. In fact, a Washington Post/ABC News poll done in February asked respondents if the 21st century world affairs will be more of an American Century or more of a Chinese Century; 43 percent said a Chinese Century compared to 38 percent for an American Century. Clearly Americans sense the global power scale tipping. But that's not all. According to a 2009 survey done by the Pew Center and the Council on Foreign Relations 53 percent of the general public said they viewed China's emerging power as a "major threat" So not only does a growing Let's Talk Foreign Policy BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansan.com portion of America think this is China's century but also that China is a "major threat" to the United States. Even on Jayhawk Boulevard the country's influence is growing. Here at KU we have a surprisingly large Chinese presence—both in students and organizations. Iasked Alan Li, the president of KU's Chinese Students and Scholars Friendship Association, for his reaction to Americans viewing China as a threat. The Lawrence Journal-World reported that in 2009 we were host to 676 Chinese students, tripling the 2006 figure. "I think it's understandable for people and analysts to think that as China's regional and worldwide influence grows with its strong economy. But I think it is highly improbable that there will be any military conflicts between the two" Li said. And experts agree, a military conflict is almost entirely out of the question because of our strong economic interdependence. So without the worry of military conflict, why be afraid of China? Sure we have pretty significant differences (take, for instance, communism versus a democracy) but that hasn't stopped the United States before. To this day many of our most reliable allies around the world have non-democratic governments. In fact, seeing China as a threat could hurt America's ability to tackle a wide range of international challenges. The U.S. and China both desire to face issues such as nuclear proliferation, climate change, and poverty. Though we might disagree on how best to solve there is some common ground. Without cooperating with China our ability to help the world falls short of its potential. As President Obama stated in a 2009 speech on China, "[I believe in] a future when our nations are partners out of necessity, but also out of opportunity." Try reflecting on your own attitudes towards China as you most certainly will personally encounter the country in some way as our countries become more tied at the hip.

NICK SAMBALUK TOLERANCE Scheduled Quran burning exhibits bigoted, hateful view By now, I'm sure almost everyone knows about the controversy surrounding the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero, but how many people know about the "International Burn a Koran Day" that will take place Sept. 11? It is within our First Amendment rights to express when, how and what we believe. However, it's mind boggling to see that the bigotry of yesteryear still plagues our society and our views. If a group of Muslims were to publicly plan to burn Bibles, it would be blasphemy and surely a sign of underground terrorism. The media would be spending hours covering the story. But this little church in Gainesville, Flia., is getting nothing short of a pat on the back and open support. They haven't received any angry media coverage in defense of Islamic communities, nor have they received any backlash from other Christian organizations. Instead, From Japanese prison camps during the '40s to Jim Crow laws of the '60s to the Quran burning that will take place in just a few days — we can see that America is still as narrow-minded as it was when our grandparents were children. It's ridiculous that we have heard next to nothing about this Quran burning. Just last year, the nation was in an uproar over the University of Texas in San Antonio's campaign, "Smut for Smut," a program where one could exchange religious texts for porn. The media won't eat up Quran burning because bashing Islam has become socially acceptable. According to an Aug. 10 CBS poll, 45 percent of Americans said they have an "unfavorable" view toward Muslims. And according to an Aug. 19 TIME poll, 62 percent of Americans said they don't personally know someone who is Muslim. Let me remind you, freedom of and from religion are also provided in our First Amendment. they have received more than 7,000 fans on Facebook and a book preaching the evils of Islam. It's easy to target someone and something we don't know a thing about. In fact, Muslims make up less than 2 percent of our population. We are afraid of something we are completely oblivious to. to. Not only has anti-Islamic sentiment spread since 2001, but also stereotyping has become a commonality among all faiths. More and more Christians are viewed as intolerant and unloving. Muslims as radical and violent and Mormons as cultic and creepy. But this goes beyond religion no matter what faith you belong Yes, it was Islamic extremists that attacked the U.S. on Sept. 11, but let us not forget the Mormon compound in Texas that held 400 children prisoner or the more than 200 abortion clinics that have been bombed by different Protestant organizations. I'm not trying to undermine the significance of Islamic extremism, and I'm not saying we should ridicule Quran burners, but before we strike the match, we should be a little more open-minded to the people we're affecting, not just the people who have affected us. There is ignorance among us all, some more than others, but we shouldn't let the foolish acts of few define the character of many. Mariah Najmuddin for The Oklahoma Daily at The University of Oklahoma. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Senate's large responsibility demands public scrutiny For Student Senate President Michael Wade Smith and Vice President Megan Ritter, accountability is the buzzword of choice. That impressive showing, however, belies a more troubling figure. Turnout for last semester's election barely broke 10 percent. Having swept the 2010 elections with some two-thirds of the vote, it would appear that Smith and Ritter can claim an emphatic mandate to advocate KUnited's agenda. With a revamped website and public pledges to pursue their campaign platform items, Smith and Ritter aim to make transparency the centerpiece of their tenure. It's part of a broader effort to promote increased interaction between the Senate and the student body. Thus far, Smith and Ritter's tenure has not witnessed any disillusionment with the Student Senate. As with our national politics, campus politics are defined by a tendency to assume the fundamental nobility of the governed. Where there are problems, asperion is cast solely on the governed. With their emphasis on public responsiveness, the two leaders have set an admirable pleasant tone. But accountability is a two-way street. In order for leaders to submit themselves to public account, there must be an engaged public. The dismal turnout in this year's election indicates the absence of a public partner in Smith and Ritter's effort to forge better Senate-student relations. No explanation withstands a moment's worth of scrutiny, though. The inconvenient truth is that our cluelessness as to what it is KUinited plans to do is } Take KUNited's campaign platform. Can you name any of its central components? Besides, that is, the much-toued call to expand the constantly congested Wescoe Underground. Ignorance of KUnited's agenda can be chalked up to any number of factors. One can blame Smith and Ritter for not trumpeting their ideas loudly enough or a variety of other explanations. Campus Watch BY LUKE BRINKER our own fault. Absent a student body that demands attention to issues confronting the Student Senate, campus politics will continue to be characterized by a disconnect between leaders and students. Disinterest in the Student Senate can't be blamed on the body's irrelevance. With its responsibility for approving funding for the many student groups that enlist the campus atmosphere, the Senate is crucial to the functioning of a dynamic University community. Moreover, the Great Recession, which has strained University resources, serves to underscore the centrality of the Senate in making critical decisions about politics - which political scientist Harold Lasswell defined as "who gets what, when, and how." The backlash against the spring 2010 proposal to lower financial support for campus media represents a notable exception to the trend of student apathy. When funding for multiple sources of campus media was threatened, students demanded that Senate leaders continue their support. And in the face of opposition to the proposed cuts, the Senate dropped its proposal. That episode highlighted two salient facts. First, student apathy is not static. Given a prominent issue that has direct implications for them, students will raise their voices. Second, such pressure influences Senate decisions. In light of KUNited's dominance of the Senate, the check and balance provided by an active student body is more essential than ever. For both the Senate and the University community, though, it would be far better if that give and take were not delayed until the onset of the next crisis.

The bartenders and bouncers are trained to identify and prevent sexual violence. These workers also know what to do when someone has too much to drink. In any other bar, personal safety is left up to chance. This past summer, the rap crisis center of Douglas County, GaDuGi SafeCenter, received a $2,500 United Way Community Impact grant to create the Safe Bar Alliance. To establish this, GaDuGi will work in collaboration with the Douglas County Attorney's office and local bar owners. Christie Dobson, the GaDuGi outreach coordinator, said the grant will pay for materials that will be put in the bars, such as coasters with information about sexual assault, buttons for bartenders and bouncers that say, "I can call a cab" and stickers that will go in the windows of bars in the alliance. Dobson said she expects materials to be in the bars within the next two months. Dobson said 50 to 80 percent of all sexual assaults involve alcohol and that college-aged women are four times more likely to be assaulted than women of any other age. "Alcohol is a date rape drug," Dobson said. "This is not just about predators who are out there looking for people. It's about two people who have had too much to drink, they make a mistake and date rape occurs." Molly Kretzer, a senior from Wichita,提学 a semester working on a project called "The Jayhawk Buddy System" for a campaignss class. In her research she found that students' perception of other students' drinking and partying habits was inflated. She said students thought that a higher percentage of classmates go to bars than actually do. Still, she said, KU students go to bars more often than students on other college campuses. BARS THAT ARE ALREADY PART OF THE SAFE BAR ALLIANCE: "It's nice to see my research and work farther than just a grade," Kretzer said. "This is so much more important." Kretzer now uses the information she gathered to help the Safe Bar Alliance. Dobson said the project was initiated by bar owners inquiring about their legal rights and responsibilities when dealing with sexual assault. She said they were eager to be a part of the solution. — REPLAY LOUNGE — JACKPOT SALOON — GASLIGHT TAVERN — ABE & JAKE'S LANDING Kretzer said the Safe Bar Alliance is still figuring out what information should be on the coasters and buttons. However, the project is strongly focused on awareness and prevention of sexual violence. "If you're by yourself at a bar, we'll find you a ride home — no judging." Kretzer said. So far the Replay Lounge, the Jackpot Saloon, the Gaslight Tavern and Abe and Jake's Landing have agreed to be a part of the Safe Bar Alliance. Dobson said she expects more bars will join soon. She said she hopes that people will choose to only go to bars that are part of the Safe Bar Alliance. "This is a change for Lawrence to create something innovative and effective," Dobson said. "We want this to be the solution that other cities can look towards." ABE & JAKES LANDING — Edited by Emily McCoy A quiet Abe & Jake's Landing stands closed on Labor Day.

CAMPUS Grant funds two major programs for School of Business A grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce is in the process of funding two major programs for The School of Business. BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com The first program benefiting from funding was developed by Wally Meyer, director of entrepreneurship programs in the school. RedTire LLC is a concept loaning program that will aid in the training of students with hopes of taking over a business. RedTire revolves around the idea of pairing appropriate student teams with retiring business owners in Kansas, with the potential takeover or purchase of that business in mind. The teams will train under the business' current owner. After learning the ins and outs of their assigned business, the teams will then be in better position to buy the company from the owner. RedTire will then underwrite and guarantee the loans that the teams take out to buy the company. Meyer said RedTire will begin by trying to match five graduating student teams to five owners by THE KU BOOKSTORE ANNOUNCES THE the spring semester. He said the main goal of the program is to have a portfolio of about 25 companies that students are getting matched with on a regular basis. "We have received a number of phone calls from businesses that want us to go to work for them already," he said. RedTire can be most beneficial to retiring business owners with no means of passing the business on to a family member or business partner; in other words, those looking to sell.

Meyer said both of the new programs were jump-started by the first program, but the new grant will fund the program even further since its turning operational. "We were able to demonstrate, for the first two years, that we were able to work on projects that would generate millions of dollars worth of economic value for the state of Kansas," Meyer said. "And once those plans were implemented, it employed literally hundreds of our fellow Kansas citizens." "The classes are not conventional," she said. "It's very hands-on.

Johnson led the team with nine tackles including five solo tackles Jayhawks lack offensive drive Special teams defense outwork offensive game BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com Dreams of victory. Forty-eight thousand elated fans. A widespread feeling of pure magic. The expectations of a season opener were soon replaced by the nightmare of a heart-breaking loss, disillusioned audience and echoing sighs of desperation. What the 2010 Jayhawks needed was a spark, a pace-changing shift of momentum. Though unable to find that relief from the line, wide receiver D.J. Beshears provided the speed KU needed right on queue. Providing momentary glimmers of hope, Beshears answered the fans' calls through his special teams contributions. Starting the game with noticeable energy, Beshears contributed a 35-yard kickoff return in the second and 49-yard punt return in the third. His teammate and, the night's leading rusher wide receiver Daymond Patterson, urged football enthusiasts not to underestimate this impact. "Special teams is one-third of the game, even though a lot of people don't realize that," Patterson said. "They play big parts in games and that's why we practice them so much." Head coach Turner Gill acknowledged strong punt returns as one of the more significant positive aspects of his team's first game, despite the fact that he said special teams was below average overall. He said having a punt blocked and failing to finish two field goal opportunities gave special teams room for further improvement. "There were some positives that happened on the returns," Gill said. "But you want to get all phases. They won those phases." The outcome would have looked worse if it weren't for the defense. Though unable to find a rhythm offensively, the defensive team successfully held the Bisons' total offensive gain to 186 vards. One of the clearest examples of the defense out-performing the offense was after a punt block in the second quarter that the Bison quickly recovered. Junior cornerback Isiah Barfield later intercepted a pass in the end zone that momentarily kept North Dakota State off their first score. "We fought around out there," Barfield said. "For the most part, we did a good job tonight holding them to six points." Despite the strong defensive and special teams effort, the Jayhawks couldn't develop enough offensive momentum to win. Senior defensive end Jake Laptad didn't place blame on any specific side of the ball, but said his side could have done better. "On defense we played alright, but we've got to force some turnovers," Laptad said. "We lack in that area." Though the honeymoon may be over in the marriage between new coach Gill and the widely accepting Jayhawk fan base, Gill maintains a positive outlook for games to follow in the upcoming season. "The defense played well enough to where we should win the football game," Gill said.

COMMENTARY Team needs a good Pick for leader BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com Bad move, Coach. OK, Kale Pick wasn't stellar. Then again, not many players were. But how is Jordan Webb supposed to help the receivers dropping passes? How can he help a porous offensive line? How does this help the future of building a cohesive unit? "It was an opportunity to maybe give us a spark and we thought he'd be able to get that to us," coach Turner Gill said after the game. Webb did hit a long pass to Bradley McDougal, but it was more like static than a snail Even Webb was surprised when the coaches called him up to orchestrate a game-winning or tying drive. There were many issues Saturday night, but swapping quarterbacks wasn't enough to combat them. It might have made the Jayhawks' situation even worse. Part of being a quarterback is being the team leader. It was Pick's first start. There will be growing pains, but the coaches stunted the growth by not giving Pick the entire game to work it out. Sometimes, failure can teach more lessons than success. But maybe Webb would have blown the game wide open with four touchdowns in the first half, we don't know. But neither guy is proven and the Jayhawks want immediate results. On Sunday, Gill announced the quarterback position is still up for grabs. Apparently, he made the decision after watching tape. "They told me I was going to get a shot," he said, "I didn't know it would come in that situation." Before the game, the match-up with North Dakota State was a certain Kansas victory. Some say that's why the game was scheduled. But even if the team didn't have trouble its first "easy" game, a Big 12 title was still unlikely. The Jayhawks should be building for the future. And you do that by keeping Kale Pick in the game. Let him iron out the offensive wrinkles and summon the necessary intensity to rile his teammates into a game-winning drive. That's the last thing they need ed with all the offensive adjustments they need to make. After the game, Kale Pick sounded flat and monotonous. It was a man who looked defeated but not sure enough of the future to be devastated. "I'll be fine," he said, "I'm not worried about my confidence." Confidence should be the least of his worries. This team needs stability. By the way, the layhawks have some external factors working against them already. Buffalo, Gill's former team, beat Rhode Island, 31-0 in its first game. And every other Big 12 team won its first game.

Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Daymond Patterson's 51-yard run on Saturday was the longest rush for Kansas since what player? A: Kale Pick's 55 yard run against UTEP. Kansas Athletics Don't give up hope, Jayhawks MORNING BREW I spent this past weekend in the Illinois Valley for my roommate's sister's wedding and had a blast. Probably too much of a blast. While speaking with the groom, I found out their plans for their honeymoon: a surprise trip to Las Vegas and some time in Hawaii. After immediately (but unsuccessfully) looking for a bride so I could have an excuse to jet to Vegas and any island, I made the rounds on my phone and checked some scores from Saturday. And there it was: NDSU 6 KU 3. I guess the honeymoon's over. I had this image of how this football season would play out: An up-and-coming coach hired in the offseason, who turned around a small-time program and guided an improving Kansas team. He gets his first win as head coach against a Missouri Valley Conference school that went 3-8 last year. The type of statement victory that would get Jayhawk nation past last season's collapse and the tumultuous offseason that followed. It felt like what would be the beginning of a beautiful marriage. S Turner Gill's debut at Memorial Stadium wasn't what I had in mind. But the payoff for hiring Gill can't be expected this year. The transition period for this team will be much longer than the 60 minutes it took BY CHRISTIAN LUCERO clucero@kansan.com for the Jayhawks' first lost of the season. In his first season at Buffalo, Gill's record was 2-10. And while it unrealistic to expect anyone to be happy with that kind of season, Saturday's game provided some parallels to another deplorable Kansas debut Mark Mangino went 2-10 in his first year at Kansas in 2002, including a 45-3 stinker of a season opener at Iowa State. We all know how that story would play out, but before his accusation-filled departure from the program, Mangino forever changed the expectations surrounding the football program — fueled by led three Bowl game victories. THE MORNING BREW Kansas knows how to win. That's apparent when you look up at the rafters in Allen Fieldhouse. But that winning culture is synonymous with continuity. It took Mangino five years to start getting serious wins against serious teams. The basketball team, KU's most prolific program, has had eight coaches in 112 years of existence. There's a pattern developing, no? Turner Gill and Kansas made a commitment to each other this past summer. And while the going might be rough right now, give Gill and the Jayhawks some time. Soon enough we'll remember why they tied the knot in the first place. Edited by Anna Nordling United States wins game and proves skill USA BASKETBALL !STANBUL — Before it can win a world championship, the United States needed to start looking like a world champion. ASSOCIATED PRESS Kevin Durant, Chaucey Billups and the rest of the Americans finally had that appearance Monday, powering into the quarterfinals with a 121-66 victory over Angola. "Obviously we want to stay humble, but at the same time we have to know that we can do it," forward Kevin Love said. "We know regardless of what people are saying, that we still are the favorites and we should play and really act like it, too." They did, opening the knockout round with a quick knockout. With Billups scoring 16 of his 19 points and Durant all of his 17 in the first half, the Americans saved their most impressive performance in Istanbul for the elimination stage, overwhelming the Angolans from the start after a couple of lackluster performances to close the group stage. "We don't want to be a team that's going to turn it on and off." Durant said. "I think of course we're playing with a little more sense of urgency when you know if you lose, you go home. Guys came out and responded from those last two games." The U.S. forced turnovers that led to easy baskets in transition, and when forced into the halfcourt, shot 18 of 38 from 3-point range, one off the team record for 3s in a world championship game. "Our guys were sharp," U.S. Krzyzewski said. Eric Gordon and Rudy Gay also scored 17 for the Americans, who will face Russia on Thursday night. Gordon was 5 of 6 behind the arc. pics, starting with a 116-48 romp in the Dream Team's debut in Barcelona in 1992, straight through to a 97-76 victory in Beijing two years ago. "We can do a little bit better, but we tried our best," Angola coach Luis Magalhaes said. This quickly became one of those no-contests. "We don't want to be a team that's going to turn it on and off." The Americans lacked some focus against Iran and Tunisia in their last two games, knowing victory was certain and not wanting to embarrass opponents or get any of their own plays hurt. KEVIN DURANT USA guard Joaquim Gomes, who played at Valparaiso, scored 21 for Angola, which finished fourth in Group A. The Angolans advanced on a tiebreaker by virtue of their overtime victory over Germany, but had lost by 50 to Serbia, and 21 apiece to Argentina and Australia. They were no match for the Americans, who had won the teams' four meetings in the Olym- sharper after a couple of days of practice, knowing they would press, substitute frequently, and raise their overall level of play with the games finally becoming important. But they expected to be "This is what we all sacrificed our summers for." Billaps said of trying to win the Americans' first world title since 1994. "Right now we're on the right path." The U.S. won the opening tip for the first time in Istanbul and scored the first five points. Billups and Durant nailed consecutive 3-pointers to cap a 10-0 spurt and make it 22-7, and the Americans led 33-13 after one. Billups is playing out of his normal NBA position as a shooting guard, and he made only 4 of 19 3-point attempts in preliminary play. Krzzewski was asked last week if he would consider a lineup change, and he said he would look at it. The lineup stayed the same, but Billups looked much different. The lead ballooned to 29 late in the sec- cans were 6 of 9 behind the arc in the period, which ended with them leading 91-56. The Americans finished with 30 assists on their 41 field goals and committed just five turnovers. ond quarter. Durant shot 7 of 10 in the half and Billups was 4 of 6, all from behind the arc, and Durant's 3-pointer with 7 seconds left sent the Americans to the half with a 65-33 advantage. Derrick Rose made two straight 3-pointers and Billups added another to start the U.S. scoring in the third quarter, and the lead grew to 37 late in the period.

Felizardo Ambrosio finished with 12 points and Roberto Fortes Fortes 11 for Angola, which played without leading scorer Olimpio Cipriano because of a leg injury. THIS WEEK IN KANSAS ATHLETICS "It was a different challenge tonight," U.S. assistant Nate McMillan said. "Their key guy didn't play tonight, so that took one of their options away, but it was about us. I thought we established ourselves early defensively as far as we wanted to play."

Briscoe signs with Buccaneers Sunday A day after being released by the Cincinnati Bengals, former Kansas wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe was signed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad on Sunday. Briscoe was a sixth-round draft pick by Cincinnati in April's draft after leaving Kansas his junior season. In only three years of work, the 6-foot-3 receiver amassed 3,928 total yards and broke multiple Kansas receiving records. In five pre-season games, Briscoe tallied four catches for 89 yards and a touchdown. He is expected to make around the league minimum of $325,000, which is the typical yearly rate for players on the practice squad. KORYCARPENTER FOOTBALL Wisconsin unveils new depth chart, may change lineup MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE MADISON, Wis. — Since taking over as Wisconsin's right tackle at the start of last season, only injury has kept Josh Oglesby out of the lineup.

Oglesby, a 6-foot-7, 335-pound redshirt junior from St. Francis High School, was responsible for a 5-yard procedure penalty in the opener against Nevada-Las Vegas.

The second game was more hotly contested. The Jayhawks raked up a substantial lead at 18-13, sophomore defensive specialist Morgan Boub scored a series of service aces. Boub said, "I had been missing my serves earlier, through these matches. So I was kind of shocked myself, but I'm glad I could do it for my team and keep it up." But the Razorbacks came back in the second half of the game, largely thanks to Arkansas freshman middle blocker Kendall Cleveland who — with an unusual, highaltitude serving style — led the way to three unanswered points and a late-game struggle that ended with the Jayhawks' only loss of the tournament, 22-25. The Jayhawks came back in the third and fourth sets to win 25-20 and 25-10. broke their back, but — to their credit — they responded well and they hit .343 in that game. Our response after that in game three and four was really good. We got a little more offense out of our middles, which we're excited about. Jarmoc led us in kills, our setter was very offensive Freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said, "[Boub] definitely got the team rolling. It really changed the mood, because it felt really tense on the court. We're 6-0, so we haven't really been losing this season, so when we got down it was like, everyone got really tense, so she did a good job of helping us out."

I think if you ask them, today, we were ... a little bit neutral at times, but we've made some really good effort plays and that was good to see.

In each game, the Jayhawks led consistently only to see the Mocs rally and bring the came to within one or two points, occasionally taking a narrow lead. Notable in this effort was Chattanooga senior middle blocker Courtney Barnes who, at six-foot two inches, affected the Jayhawks attempts to scure. The Jayhawks ultimately took each match, thanks in part to a balanced offense that spread 42 kills nearly evenly over a half dozen players, and some clutch plays by some of the Jayhawk freshmen. "You know Kara, once again, she's the one that made one of the better plays I've seen in Horejsi in a long time, saving that ball," Bechard said.

Edited by Emily McCoy COLLEGE FOOTBALL Navy ends long losing streak against Maryland on Monday ASSOCIATED PRESS The Midshipmen (0-1) held the ball for nearly 19 minutes longer than Maryland (0-1) and outgained the Terrapins by more than 200 yards. But in a game influenced by untimely turnovers and huge penalties, the outcome was decided on a gritty goal-line stand. BALTIMORE — Kenny Tate stopped Ricky Dobbs at the goal line with 34 seconds left, and Maryland stunned in-state rival Navy 17-14 on Monday to break a seven-game losing streak that began last October. Earlier in the drive, Dobbs was stopped on a third-and-8. But Maryland's Adrian Moten was flagged for grabbing the facemask on the play, and the Midshipmen advanced until Tate's big play. Trailing 17-14 with a fourth down at the 1, Navy decided to go for the win. Dobbs took the snap, went to his left and was met by Tate, who would not relent to the momentum Dobbs brought to the line. But Maryland jumped to 14-0 lead in the first quarter and never trailed despite allowing the Midshipmen to amass 485 yards Coming off a 2-10 season, the Ferrapsins came in as underdogs against a Navy team that went 10-4 and beat Missouri in the Texas Bowl. in offense. The game might have been a rout had Navy not failed to score on four different forays inside the Maryland 20. The Midshipmen didn't punt until early in the fourth quarter, and the short kick was returned 57 yards by Tony Logan to the Navy 16. Maryland promptly fumbled the ball away on a missed exchange involving backup quarterback Danny O'Brien — his only play of the game. Dobbs ran for 63 yards and a touchdown, but the senior quarterback fumbled three times — losing two of them at the Maryland 1. Maryland took the opening kickoff and faced only one third down before Da'Rel Scott ran for a 5-yard touchdown. Navy moved just as quickly the other way, but Joe Buckley hit the left upright on a 32-yard field goal try. Navy pulled even at 14 with 1:52 left in the third quarter when Dobbs scored from the 1 on a drive that began with wide receiver Greg Jones running 53 yards on a reverse. The Midshipmen had a 7½-minute edge in time of possession in the first half, yet trailed 14-7 after coming up empty on drives of 52, 63 and 66 yards. The Terrapins then switched running backs, with no change Each team had two turnovers. MLB Giants a step closer to NL West lead win PHOENIX — Nate Schierholtz hit a two-run triple off Aaron Heilman in the 11th inning and the San Francisco Giants inched closer to the NL West lead with a 2-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Madison Bumgarner matched zeros with Arizona starter Ian Kennedy into the eighth inning and the Giants pulled it out in the 11th when Schierholtz followed singles by Aubrey Huff and Buster Posey with his triple to center off Heilman (5-7). in productivity. Davin Meggett opened with a 67-yard run, and a third-down pass interference call against the Midshipmen preceded a 3-yard touchdown run by Meggett that made it 14-0. The Terps' third drive ended with an interception at the Navy 4. The Midshipmen held the ball for more than eight minutes before Dobbs lost a fumble to the Maryland 1 when hit by Moten, who leaped over the line to get his hand on the quarterback. Dobbs responded with a 64-yard march that ended with a 10-yard touchdown by Andre Byrd, who nearly lost a fumble on the previous play. Late in the half, poor clock management cost Navy a chance to score. After Dobbs was tackled on a run to the Maryland 2, time ran out before the field goal team could get on the field.

The Jayhawks will face California State Northridge (2-3) on Friday afternoon and will then play Oregon (2-1-2) on Sunday. The weekend also marked the return of 2009 scoring leader Emily Cressy. The Northwestern Wildcats controlled most of the game. The team had 13 shots compared with the Jayawacks' nine. The Wildcats also had seven corner kicks compared with Kansas' two. With new top-notch wide receiver, team sees victory Kansas. The only criticism of this group is the lack of a deep threat. Boldin, Mason and Houshmandzadeh are considered possession receivers. Houshmandzadeh, Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason have all produced 100-catch seasons and they all caught at least 73 passes last season. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE In a span of six months, the Ravens gutted one of the thinnest wide receiver groups and built one of the NFLs best for quarterback Joe Flacco. A team that once didn't have a legitimate No.1 wide receiver now has three who have headlined passing games at some point in their careers. Coach Mark Francis emphasized physical play this week at practice and it showed. BALTIMORE — The Ravens relentless mission of building a top-flight passing attack continued Monday, when the team reached a one-year agreement with free-agent wide receiver T.J. Househmandzadeh and traded former first-round pick Mark Clayton to the St. Louis Rams. They'll win battles for contested passes but they aren't known for beating cornerbacks down the field. None have a career average over 13 yards per catch. The junior forward scored in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Illinois State. The Ravens' fastest receiver, Donte' Stallworth, is out for at least another six weeks with a The Illinois State University Redbirds, who did not have a game on Friday, looked well rested. Cressy played all 180 minutes this weekend. Edited by Emily McCoy broken left foot. Because of the receivers' close styles, no one linked Houshmandzadeh to the Ravens. But it's a low-risk move for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Houshmandzadeh, 32, agreed to the veteran minimum ($855,000) two days after he was released by the Seattle Seahawks. He will receive $7 million from the Seahawks this season. A Pro Bowl player in 2007, Houshmandzadeh reportedly chose the Ravens over the Oakland Raiders. Bringing in Houshmandzadeh is the latest move at wide receiver for the Ravens, who traded for Boldin, re-signed Mason and added Stallworth this year. Last season, Houshmandzadeh caught a team-best 79 passes for 911 yards and three touchdowns. Before signing a five-year, $40 million deal with Seattle, he had three straight seasons of 90 or more catches for the Cincinnati Bengals. During his time with the Bengals, Houshmandzadeh continually hurt the Ravens. In 13 meetings, he averaged six catches for 76 yards receiving. The Ravens had expressed interest in Houshmandzadeh when he was a free agent last offseason, according to Newsome. Coach John Harbaugh said he was "excited" to have the chance to add a top-notch receiver just a week before starting the regular season. The Seahawks decided to release Houshmandzadeh after going with a youth movement (Mike Williams, Deon Butler and Golden Tate). It is believed the Ravens will exchange picks with the Rams in a later round of the 2011 draft by giving them Clayton, who could become St Louis' No. 1 receiver. While Clayton is a faster receiver, Houshmandzadeh is the more consistent one. Houshmandzadeh has averaged 93 catches over the past four seasons. Clayton, the 22nd overall pick in the 2005 draft, has watched his catches decline the past three seasons. His 34 receptions last season were a career low. Still, Clayton had beaten out Stallworth to be the Ravens' No. 3 receiver during the preseason. It's interesting to note that the Ravens' acquisition of Houshmandzadeh came hours after the Jets reached a new deal with Darrelle Revis, which ended the Pro Bowl cornerback's holdout. Jets fans aren't the only ones who are excited that Revis will be playing the Ravens on Monday night. NEW SHOT BAR! Tuesday & Thursday S1 shots & NO COVER!

These people are here for us and we brought them home a nice victory." North Dakota State sophomore quarterback Jose Mohler, on what the win means for their fans. STAROW Mohler Game Balls 3. Senior cornerback Chris Harris: Harris made his 30th consecutive start for the Jayhawks, the longest active streak on the team. The captain sacked sophomore quarterback Jose Mohler on a critical third down hitz 2. Junior linebacker Steven Johnson: Johnson recorded a career-high nine tackles in a pleasantly surprising performance. The defense made all their tackles and did everything defensive coordinator Carl Torbush asked of them. 1. Sophomore receiver Daymond Patterson: Patterson's 51 yard rush on a reverse was the longest carry for the Jayhawks since Kale Pick ran for 55 yards on a play against UTEP on Sept. 12 last season. Patterson led all receivers with 66 yards on six receptions. It is not often a player on offense can be called electric when their team scores only three points, but Patterson was just that. Delay of Games 3. Senior running back Angus Quigley and freshman running back DeShaun Sands: The duo averaged 2.1 and 1.7 yards rushing, respectively. They were outclassed on the ground by a wide receiver. With sophomore linebacker and last season's leading rusher Toben Opurum standing on the sideline, the decision to convert him is already being second-quessed. 2. Johnathan Wilson: Wilson finished with zero catches. Not a great start to the season. But Wilson will put up bigger numbers as the season progresses. 1. Junior tight end Tim Biere:Biere dropped three passes and fumbled his only two completions.The crowd roared in approval when he was pulled from the game in the fourth quarter.Biere is a big target and was wide open several times, partly due to his sneaky-fast speed,but if he cannot catch it is all for naught. Play of the Game Sophomore quarterback Kale Pick's third quarter interception in the Bison end zone on third and goal was a momentum killer. North Dakota State senior linebacker Matt Anderson had the pass deposited right in his breadbasket. Pick took care of the ball all game, but losing possession so deep in enemy territory had a lot to do with his subsequent benching. Game Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY ... As coach Turner Gill said several times, it is only one game. If the Jayhawks defeat nationally ranked Georgia Tech at home this Saturday, the team will stand at 1-1, a record many pundits had them at after two games. They will just have to do it the hard way now. Toben Opurum, perhaps the team's best pure athlete, stood on the sideline for most of the game, watching his former running back comrades average about two yards per carry. Jayhawk fans seemed to lose confidence in the coaching staff late in the fourth quarter as the boo birds poured in for the first time in the Gill administration. The thinness at linebacker had to be resolved, but the Opurum decision will define the coaching staff's first season for better or worse. And if Saturday's defeat was any indication, things will only get worse. BIGGEST ANSWER Sophomore kick returner D.J. Beshears took the ball and ran with it - literally. He recorded two returns for 84 yards, including a 49-yard run in the third quarter. Not bad for someone returning kicks for the first time in their career. STILL QUESTIONING When coach Gill benched Pick in the fourth quarter, he reopened a can of worms thought to be closed during fall camp. Successful teams never have quarterback controversies, but the Jayhawks once again find themselves looking for a starter. Will it be Pick? Will it be Webb? Whoever is named the started for Saturday's game, they will undoubtedly have a short leash. The potent Georgia Tech offense brings their nationally ranked option show to Memorial Stadium this Saturday. The triple option is almost an art form for coach Paul Johnson, but his defense does have exploitable holes. Yes, losing to North Dakota State was a disaster, but it would have been a worse sign of things to come had the defense given up 40+ points to a FCS program. The defense looks ready for the Yellow Jackets. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID Original prediction: Kansas 37, North Dakota State 17. Actual score: North Dakota State 6, Kansas 3. Wrong in just about every meaning of the word, but nobody could have predicted this outcome. It is surprising enough that the Jayhawks lost to a school once labeled Division II, but how often do college football games contested in perfect weather end with a combined nine points? FINAL THOUGHT ... Kale Pick is not the problem. Given the deficiencies of his offensive line, the lack of productivity from his running backs and the historically-bad performance from his tight end, it is hard to envision a scenario where anyone would be successful, even Todd Reesing.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM BIG 12 FOOTBALL First game tough for Tuberville MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LUBBOCK, Texas — As he and his coaching staff hand out weekly grades to their players, Tommy Tuberville isn't shy about his own assessment of the job he did in his first game as the Texas Tech coach. "As a head coach I'll give myself probably a C." Tuberville said Monday, a day after a 35-27 season-opening win over SMU. "We had them on their heels, and as a head coach sometimes you forget certain situations." With a night to reflect, Tuberville admits that the questionable play involving a failed Taylor Potts quarter "We're not good enough yet to say we can line up against anybody in the Big 12." back sneak on fourth-and 1 from the SMU 34 with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game should never have been called. The Red Raiders were up 35-20 at the time, and Potts fumbled the snap, which led to a touchdown for SMU and made the game too close for Tuberville's liking. "There could be a few more we'll have the Tiger Walk sign," Tuberville said. "It'll be a shorter walk, but at least it's something where fans that get there can form some kind of line starting with the Tiger Walk. "We went quarterback sneak on the goal line (earlier in the game) and didn't have a very good snap and I just completely forgot about that," Tuberville said. "Then I tried to do a quarterback sneak in another one where our timing was off. Pass-run distribution. With Tech having 53 passing plays and 31 running plays against SMU, it's apparent that the Raiders will continue their Air Raid. either way depending on how they play on defense." Tommy Tuberville said. "They were blitzing and they had seven or eight men on the line of "Not the Tiger Walk, excuse me. The Raider Walk sign." Raider Walk success "I'll get better as a coach. I'm going to work hard this week, watch a lot of film, do a lot of drills and try to get better." Tommy Tuberville wants fans to be a part of the new Raider Walk, and by all accounts the first session of it was a huge success. TOMMY TUBERVILLE Texas Tech coach Raider Walk is a new event where Tech fans, cheerleaders and band members line the street about two hours and 15 minutes before kickoff, and the players and coaches walk through that line. For the SMU game, some 12,000 fans joined in, and Tech officials expect that figure will swell for the Sept. 18 game against Texas. New starters For a moment, Tabuville inadvertently talked as if he were still coaching the Auburn Tigers. Tommy Tuberville said he'll have some new starters in the lineup for Saturday's game at New Mexico, but he did not indicate which players have lost their starting jobs. scrimmage. They weren't going to allow us to run the ball, and that allowed us to throw the ball a little bit better." "I think it's important that guys understand that just because you were named a starter you don't stay a starter unless you perform." Tuberville said. "I love competition and it's there at every position." "When we have an away game Tuberville wasn't pleased with the offensive line, the running game and special teams, adding that the Raiders were efficient against SMU on "four out of eight cylinders." Ready for Texas? After the New Mexico game, the Raiders host a major Big 12 clash against rival Texas. Tommy Tuberville admits his squad isn't ready for that type of challenge just yet. "We've got to get a lot better before we get to Big 12 play," he said. "We're not good enough yet to say we can line up against anybody in the Big 12, much less one of the teams that's picked to win it." Team finishes sixth in tournament MEN'S GOLF BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com The Men's Golf team finished in sixth place at 54 over par this weekend at Turning Stone-Tiger Intercollegiate in Verona, N.Y. Purdue won the tournament finishing 33 over par. Missouri, tournament host, finished three strokes back at 36 over to take second. Bowling Green State University, University of Connecticut and Central Connecticut State University rounded out the top five, shooting 39, 44, and 50 over par respectively. "It was very disappointing," said coach Kit Grove. "We had a few teams that beat us that we felt like we should have beaten." Sophomore Chris Gilbert led the Jayhawks shooting 10 over par and finishing in a tie for 15th place. His second day 70 was a tie for the second lowest individual round all weekend. Junior Doug Quinones finished in a tie for 28th place after shooting a final round 74 to put him at 15 over in his first tournament for the layhawks. Quinones transferred from New Mexico Junior Colleague this year. "David and Doug both had it going pretty good," Grove said. "It was good to see those guys hang in there. It was just too bad that they didn't get much help from some of our more experienced guys." Senior Captain Nate Barbee and freshman David Cattibb finished the weekend tied for 39th place. Barbee opened up the weekend well shooting 74 in the first round and Catt rebounded strong after a rough opening round shooting 76 and 74 to close out the weekend. Sophomore Dan Waite rounded out the Jayhawks shooting 24 over to put him in a tie for 57th place. Jakob Ziegler from Oakland University won the individual tournament, shooting 215 to put him 1 under par for the tournament. Ziegler finished six strokes ahead of a four-way tie for second place. Grove will try and shake things up next week when the layhawks travel to compete in the Fairway Club Invitational in Nebraska City, Neb., next week. "The lineup will change quite a bit," he said. "Half of our team is new. I think it could take us a while to figure out who we really are. It is our first time out of the gate, so we don't want to put too much stock into one tournament. But at the same time, there aren't a lot of positives to say and we have got a lot of work to be done." — Edited by Roshni Oommen Sophomore Chris Gilbert led the Jayhawks this weekend. The team finished sixth overall. Adam Buhler/KANSAN FILE PHOTO COLLEGE FOOTBALL Boise State solid contender for national title ASSOCIATED PRESS LANDOVER, Md. — Kellen Moore and Boise State look as if they are going to be in the national championship chase for a while. "Game 1, and that's what it is," said Chris Petersen, who improved to 50-4 as coach of Boise State. "We're just pleased to get out of here with a 'W'." Moore hit Austin Pettis with a 13-yard touchdown pass with 1:09 left and No. 3 Boise State passed what might be its toughest test of the season, beating No. 10 Virginia Tech 33-30 on Monday night. Tyrod Taylor passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 73 yards for the Hokies (0-1), who for the fourth straight season took a deflating early season loss. The winningest team of the past decade in major college football, Boise State yet again was forced to prove it was worthy of all the accolades — this time far from home on a field that was anything but neutral, packed with Hokies fans. Moore, the undersized Heisman Trophy contender, threw for 215 yards and three touchdowns. He led a five-play, 56-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes — aided by a Virginia Tech personal foul penalty. After hitting Pettis on a quick slant for the winner, Moore sprinted to midfield with his hands raised high, waiting for a teammate to come and celebrate with him. The Broncos (1-0) came to FedEx Field with their best preseason ranking ever and ran out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter, then had to rally themselves to extend their winning streak to 15 games. As for the Broncos, even with 11 games left in the season, the debate will start about whether they should become the first team from a conference without an automatic BCS bid to play for a national championship if they go undefeated. When it was over, they were taking a victory lap, exchanging highfives with their fans who made the long trip. Boise State took the 17-0 lead by taking advantage of a handful of critical Virginia Tech mistakes that set up two TD passes by Moore. But by halftime the Hokies had climbed back into it with Ryan Williams scoring twice to cut the halftime lead to 20-14. On Boise State's first possession of the second half, Moore fumbled when he cocked to throw and hit his own lineman. Virginia Tech recovered at the Broncos 31 and Williams completed the fifth scoring drive of less than 40 yards in the game with a 1-yard run around the right side. Taylor bounded off the field and leaped into a side bump with a teammate. Virginia Tech, after a nearly burying itself in the first quarter, had its first lead at 21-20. It lasted about a minute on the clock. D.J. Harper broke a tackle at the line on a third-and-1 and outran the Hokies for a 71-yard touchdown. No questioning Boise State's speed on that play. Virginia Tech blocked the extra point attempt and it was 26-21 with 5:38 left in the third. Back came the Hokies, Virginia Tech's Chris Hazley was wide right on a 51-yard field, but Boise State was flagged for running into the kicker. Now with a fourth-and-4 from the 29, Tech went for it and Taylor zipped an out to Jarrett Boykin, who slipped a weak arm tackle attempt by Brandyn Thompson and eased into the end zone to put the Hokies up 27-26. They went for two and missed. Boise State couldn't answer that score. Kyle Brotzman missed wide left from 30 yards and Hazley answered with a 34-yarder for Virginia Tech to make it 30-26. Virginia Tech had a chance to run out the clock, but couldn't do it. Taylor threw an incomplete pass on third down that stopped the clock and gave Boise State extra time.

MLB Marlins roll past the Phillies ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Adalberto Mendez pitched one-hit ball for six scoreless innings in his major league debut before injuring himself and the Florida Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-1 Monday in the first game of a day.night doubleheader. Mendez (1-0) left in the seventh after straining his right quad running to first base on a single. homered and Dan Uggla drove in three runs for Florida. Marlins rookie Logan Morrison, hit in the face by a foul ball from teammate Emilio Bonifacio while in the ondeck circle Sunday, went 1 for 4 and scored a run. Mendez struck out six, walked He slowed down and hobbled to the bag before he was helped to the dugout. The Phillies,who've been held to one hit three times already this season,finished with three overall. two and hit a batter. The 28-year-old righty was 5-5 with a 3,98 ERA between Double-A and Triple-A before getting called up after Florida's strong pitching made the game an easy win against Philadelphia. The teams played a doubleheader Monday. Mike Stanton and Chad Tracy seven seasons in the minors. He had just 20 starts, including nine this year, in 350 career appearances. The Marlins are relishing their role as spoiler, having won two of three against NL East-leading Atlanta over the weekend. The Phillies came in one game behind the Braves, and had a two-game lead over San Francisco in the wild-card standings. Vance Worley (0-1) allowed two runs and six hits, striking out five in five innings in his first career start for Philadelphia. The right-hander was 10-7 in the minors this year, and pitched a scoreless inning in his only previous appearance with the Phillies. A crowd of 45,518 was the largest this season and the 111th straight sellout at the park. They had little to cheer about. Since scoring nine runs in the seventh inning of a 12-11 comeback win at Colorado last Thursday, the Phillies have nine runs in four games. Jayson Werth's RBI single in the ninth prevented Philadelphia's 13th shutout. Uggla's two-out single in the first gave Florida a 1-0 lead. He added a two-run double in the ninth. MLB Orioles somehow top the Yankees ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Brian Musatz won his fourth straight start and Brian Roberts hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning off struggling AT Burnett, leading the Baltimore Orioles to a rare 4-3 win over the New York Yankees on Monday. Alex Rodriguez homered and drove in two runs to reach 100 RBIs for the 13th straight season and record 14th time overall. He surpassed Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx, who each reached 100 RBIs 13 times. New York lost its second in a row following a season-high, eight-game winning streak. Baltimore had been 0-6 at Yankee Stadium this year and had lost 17 of 19 games in the Bronx coming in, but the AL-worst Orioles came to New York for the first time under Buck Showalter and won their third in a row, improving to 20-13 under their new manager. New York, still a major leaguebest 86-52, began the day $2\frac{1}{2}$ games in front of second-place Tampa Bay in the AL East and leads after play on Labor Day for the 41st time. The Yankees have failed to finish first only twice in those years, in 1906 and 1944. atusz (8-12) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings, beating the Yankees for the first Burnett (10-13) lost for the fifth time in six decisions, giving up four runs, seven hits and four walks in seven innings. Burnett and CC Sabathia, New York's scheduled starter Tuesday, entered the series a combined 24-4 against Baltimore. Josh Bell doubled leading off the third, with Brett Gardner trying for an outstanding leaping grab in left-center only to allow the ball to pop free when his glove hit the field. After Roberts' single, Felix Pie hit into a run-scoring double-play grounder. time in four decisions against New York this season. Rodriguez's first homer in 12 at-bats against Matusz tied the score in the fourth. The drive off the back wall of the bullpen in left-center gave Rodriguez 22 homers this season and 605 overall. New York put runners on second and third with two outs in the bottom half, and third baseman Josh Bell made a nice sliding pickup on Jeter's grounder before throwing to first for the out. Matt Wieters added a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Roberts' run-score single gave Baltimore a 2-1 lead in the fifth. Cano hit a catchable short pop near the left-field line that fell past Pie, the left fielder, and shortstop Cesar Izturis for a single on the sunny afternoon. Roberts' two-out RBI single in the seventh put the Orioles back ahead 4-3. Nick Swisher walked leading off the bottom half, with Matusz going to a 3-0 count for the first time in the game. Rodriguez's sacrifice fly tied the score, and Robinson Charley Hoffman gets spot at the Masters PGA Albers walked pinch-hitter Lance Berkman leading off the bottom half. Gardner fouled off two sacrifice attempts, then struck out, and Wieters threw out pinch-runner Greg Golson trying to steal second. NORTON, Mass. — Charley Hoffman was rolling in so many putts he lost track of how many birdies he made Monday. His final stroke on a Labor Day masterpiece was his 11th birdie, more than enough to win the Deutsche Bank Championship. ASSOCIATED PRESS The question is whether it was enough to make him a last-minute pick for the Ryder Cup. Hoffman ran off four straight birdies early to erase a four-shot deficit, seized control by holing a bunker shot on the 13th and closed with a 9-under 62 on the TPC Boston for a five-shot victory over Geoff Ogilvy, Jason Day and Luke Donald. "Hopefully, I'm on the real short list," he said. Tiger Woods had three rounds in the 60s for the time this year. He closed with a 69 to tie for 11th, and kept his No. 1 ranking in the world when Phil Mickelson imploded again. Mickelson needed only to finish fourth to become No. 1 for the first time in his career. Instead, he opened the back nine with a triple bogey, made a double bogey on the 17th and shot 76 to finish 15 shots behind in a tie for 25th. A month ago. Mickelson had an equally good chance at Firestone and shot 78. Even if he doesn't make the Ryder Cup, the FedEx Cup is looking pretty good for Hoffman. He was No. 59 in the standings and arrived at the TPC Boston wanting to make sure he advanced to the third round of the playoffs next week outside Chicago. He wound up a winner, moving to No. 2 in the standings. That assures him a shot at the $10 million bonus, and puts him in all four majors next year after not playing any of them this year. That includes his first trip to the Masters, one of many perks. "The best perk would be the Ryder Cup," Hoffman said. U. S. captain Corey Pavin will make his four selections Tuesday morning in New York. The front- runners are Woods, Zach Johnson and Stewart Cink, with no one standing out as the fourth choice. Pavin had said earlier in the week that no one should assume a good week at the Deutsche Bank would put him on the team. Hoffman, oozing California cool with his blond locks flowing from under his cap and kelly green pants to match his shoes; made a strong impression with his game and his words. "No question I think I can contribute to that team," Hoffman said. "If I can shoot 62 here in the playoffs, I'm pretty sure I can handle the Ryder Cup." He looked plenty strong on a gorgeous Labor Day in New England. Starting the final round four shots behind Day, Hoffman began his first big run with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 second, and a pair of 10-foot birdies sand-wicked around a good tee shot to the front bunker on the par-4 fourth green for a tap-in birdie. Hoffman "No question I think I can contribute to that team...I'm pretty sure I can handle the Ryder Cup." Hoffman must have known it was his day on the 13th, as Ogilvy was hitting his stride. He blasted out of the front bunker, trying to nestle it close on greens that were firm and fast, then climbed out of the trap pumping his fist when it fell for an unlikely birdie. He followed that with a 5-foot par save on the 14th, an 18-foot birdie on the next hole and a 7-foot birdie on the 16th. No one could catch him "The playoffs, that's what you try to do," Hoffman said. "Just got it going this week." tied the tournament record at 22 under 262, winning for the second time in his PGA Tour career. Day was wild off the tee early, then struggled with his putter coming in. He shot an even-par 71. Donald, who also had a share of the lead early, remained winless on the PGA Tour since 2006 when CHARLEY HOFFMAN Ogilvy closed with a 66, and the runner-up finish moved him from No.52 to No.9, assuring him a spot in the Tour Championship. It was Ogilvy's first top 10 on tour since he won at Kapalua in the first tournament of the year. he settled for a 69. He played alongside Hoffman and appreciated what he saw. "I had the best seat in the house to watch that," Ogilvy said. "He hit great shots all day. He putted really well and as soon as he got himself in trouble hed go and hole a bunker shot or something like that. So it was a pretty class act and he never looked like doing anything but winning after about three holes. Andres Romero, who only started these playoffs at No. 115 and only got to the TPC Boston with a 40-foot birdie putt on the final hole last week, shot a 72 and narrowly made it at No. 68. The surprise was Tom Gillis, who was at No. 92 until a 65-65 weekend gave him a tie for fifth and moved him to No. 48. The top 70 in the standings advance to the BMW Championship, which starts Thursday. Steve Marino shot 76 and John Rollins had a 79 to fall out of the top 70. The heartbreak belonged to Kris Blanks, who closed with a 70 and appeared to narrowly make the field in Chicago until Charlie Wi birdied the last hole to bump him out. taste the world in just one night Free International Dinner Thursday, September 9 6:30pm at ECM Explore the world through the magic of food and interact with our members who have been all around the world through international internships with AIESECI.

On Saturday at the Bob Timmons Classic at Rim Rock Farm, the lavhawk cross country teams proved teams proved themselves against Colby Community College, Garden City Community College, Neosho Community College, Park University, and Marysville University. "We went out strong, we worked really well together, and that is one of our main goals of our team." The Bob Timmons Classic started off with the men's 6K. The coaches decided to sit out their top three runners on the men's team, which allowed some of the younger runners a shot at success. Although a KU cross country alumnus won first place, junior Zach Zarda took second timing in at 19:01.30, setting his personal best 6K. Right behind him in fourth and fifth place were freshmen Josh Munsch, running a 19:06.50, and Jose Muñoz, clocking in at 19:06.90. out with a fast pace and that is good because sometimes you can get into a slow pace and not really bust out of it. We had a goal of doing 10 minutes for every two miles and I ran a 9:58 and the guys were pretty close behind me so I'm happy with that as well." Muñoz was also satisfied with TESSA TURCOTTE Sophomore runner "I'm happy with how I competed and how we did as a team overall." Zarda said. "We started the way he ran and competed in his first collegiate race. "I think the team effort was there and I think I performed well too," he said. "I think this race was a confidence builder and added to our teamwork" Coach Stanley Redwine was pleased with the way the men's team stepped up and showed authority. "Everyone performed extremely well," he said. "Paul Heiferon, the guy who won, is just better than our guys right now. He came back to show us where we need to be." Coach Redwine also mentioned Muñoz as a freshmen on the men's team to look out for. Even though the women's team sat out their top runners, the Jayhawks still dominated the course by claiming 8 out of the top 9 runners. Leading the pack with a personal best 5K time of 18:37.20 was sophomore Kyra Kilwein, with sophomore Tessa Turcotte right behind her at 18:50.90. Coach Redwine thought the women's team worked very well together and put his strategy to use. "We were interested to see where they stood and they put forward great effort," he said. "It is definitely a team mentality. The idea was to race together in the beginning and they did a really good job." The girls were just as enthusiastic about the win as Coach Redwine was. "We went out strong, we worked really well together, and that is one of our main goals of our team," Turcotte said about the team's victory. The two agreed that they would continue to work on team camaraderie throughout the season. Other areas Turcotte and Kilwein thought were important to improve on were team confidence and trust in one another. "I feel that we are at our fitness level needed for the season and we have the work ethic to make the NCAA Championship," Kilwein said. "I think we're going to do great this season."

Zarda finished second overall in the men's 6K race with a personal best time of 19:01:30, shaving 37 seconds off last year's finish. The men's team placed first overall at the Bob Timmons Classic for the fifth straight year. Adam Buhler/KANSAN COLLEGE FOOTBALL Tailback's injury leads to player rotations for Longhorns MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE AUSTIN, Texas — Texas tailback Tre Newton, a sophomore who led the team in rushing last season, moved back into the starting lineup Monday after grinding out a team-high 61 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's opener against Rice. But coach Mack Brown made it clear that Newton's elevation came, at least in part, because Cody Johnson —w the 250-pounder who started against Rice — sprained an ankle on his second carry against the Owls and did not tell coaches about the injury until after the game. By then, Brown said the ankle was swollen to the point that Johnson is not expected to practice Tuesday but should be available for Saturday's game against Wyoming (6 p.m., Austin). Johnson, the goal-line back last season, earned the starting role last week because of what he showed in all camp. Brown and offensive coordinator Greg Davis said they reminded Johnson about the fine line that exists between playing with pain and trying to play through an injury that saps production and hurts the team. If Cody Johnson is limited or cannot play against Wyoming, his carries could be absorbed by Vondrell McGee, a senior who has more career rushing yards (973) than any player on the 2010 roster.

Perkins announces early exit Search Starts Gray-Little set a target of mid-to late-spring for hiring a new athletics director. Sean Lester to serve as interim AD until permanent replacement is found BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com On Tuesday Perkins and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little announced his retirement effectively immediately. Lew Perkins was going to conclude his tenure as Kansas athletics director on an early September afternoon. That much went according to plan. That he hit the mark a year early caught some by surprise. Perkins his retirement, effective immediately. Sean Lester, formerly senior associate athletics director, was named interim athletics director while the University searches for Perkins' successor. PETER J. GROTHERT "I was shocked," Lester said about being asked by Gray-Little to carry out Perkins' duties. Lester joined Athletics in September 2003, shortly after Perkins became athletics director. He previously spent eight years as a senior administrator at the University of Connecticut, where Perkins was athletics director before coming to Kansas. Perkins announced in June his intentions to retire, but said he would remain as athletics director through Sept. 4, 2011. That announcement came a day after the University cleared Perkins of ethics violations when an internal investigation found that he did not exchange preferential seating for exercise equipment. Perkins' attorney, Stephen McAllister, then sent the evidence to the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission. The commission investigates state employee conflicts of interest. While the commission cannot comment on ongoing investigations, McAllister said no decision had been made. Last month, Gray-Little informed the Kansas Board of Regents that she had removed Perkins as chair of Athletics' advisory committee. Perkins was to remain as a member on the committee. The terms of Perkins' retirement agreement are being finalized. Perkins will receive a retention payment from Athletics of $2 million before taxes. In an Aug. 28 interview with The Kansan, Gray-Little said her goal is to identify Perkins' successor in mid to late spring. "In an informal way the process has already begun," Gray-Little said. "People have already started identifying themselves or having recommendations." While Lester said he would like to be a full-time athletics director at some point, he only intends to do so at Kansas in an interim role. The University released a second statement from Gray-Little following Tuesday's press conference that outlined the search process. She said she expected to name a committee of five to six members by the end of next week. Gray-Little identified the middle or latter part of the spring semester as her goal for naming the school's new athletics director. "While I am confident in Sean Lester's ability to lead LESTER|1B Lester chosen as temporary replacement Until a new athletics director is selected, Lester will fill the void left by Perkins.

"I was more surprised than anything, but based on the circumstances, I think it might have been the best decision." "My guess is that it [the athletics program] will take a different direction. Hopefully the new AD will help bring us back to the top. But it's all up in the air." Senior from Beloit Josey Kruse "KU has definitely benefited from him. There have been changes in other aspects of KU sports, so we'll all get a fresh start together," she said. Dyan Penner Junior from Topeka "KU's sort of at a low point so I think it's time for a change. He did some good things for KU, but I think we'll be alright without him. There's only one way to go: up." Matt Stickles Senior from Kilder, III. "It's kind of sad [Lew's retirement]. He did a pretty good job." "I think we're going to go into a downward slope for a while, but it also completely depends on the AD who replaces Perkins." OBITUARY Dance professor dies in New York BY SAMANTHA FOSTER AND MICHAEL NOW THA FOSTER AND MICHAEL HOLTZ sfoster@kansan.com mholtz@kansan.com Hamburg spent the last 30 years teaching at the University of Kansas and was known for her work as a dance movement analyst. Janet Hamburg, an internationally known dance instructor and greatly admired professor of dance at the University, died in New York City on Saturday. "This is a deep and painful loss for the university family," Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a press release. "Janet Hamburg was an extraordinary teacher and researcher who had earned her colleagues' highest respect, here and around the world." Hamburg joined the KU faculty in 1979 and served as the chair of the dance program for several years. In 2005 she received a W.T. Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence. Mary Sheldon, a senior from Overland Park who worked with Hamburg in the department of dance, said she wasn't in any of Hamburg's classes, but that she was on a dance scholarship during her freshman and sophomore years and was familiar with Hamburg through that. She said Hamburg cared deeply about finding funding for PATRICK A. BERKELEY Hamburg the University Dance Company and for dance students. "That's what she was passionate about, raising money so students would be financially able to dance" Sheldon said. was her legacy. "I know that she'll be greatly missed," she said. "The work that she did for the university, for dance scholarship and for dance education will live on." Sheldon said that Hamburg's work for dance students at the University Hamburg was dedicated both to her profession and her service work. Much of her research work was dedicated to movement analysis, which resulted in her development of an exercise program for people with Parkinson's disease. She created an exercise video called "Motivating Moves for People with Parkinson's", which was co-produced and distributed internationally by the Parkinson's Disease Foundation in New York City and recommended by the major national and regional Parkinson's foundations. She worked with the Lawrence Parkinson's Support Group and gave presentations to other Parkinson's support organizations across the U.S. She also worked with senior adults and with children suffering from coordination and sensorimotor problems, according to the release. Hamburg taught in the Bill Evans Summer Institutes of Dance and was frequently a guest instructor at the Juillard School of Music, the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies and the Sports Training Institute in New York City.

Instead, what she got was ritualized hazing that included a nearly month-long string of beatings, punching, kicking and paddling according to a lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court this week — an episode that experts say is far too common among African-American Greek organizations. Howard, 20, has sued eight students, the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority and the university, saying it failed to investigate and protect her from retaliation by sorority members after reporting the 2008 incident. She has since withdrawn from SISU and transferred to the University of Southern California, saying she didn't feel safe. "There was physical violence," said Howard's attorney, Angela Reddock of Los Angeles. Howard is seeking unspecified damages. "Any number of steps could have been taken by the university to change her living situation and provide security, but that did not happen." In one instance, Howard said she and two other pledges were blindfolded and taken to Princess Odom's San Jose backyard, where they were sprayed with a hose. In another, they were hit on their hands and knuckles with a wooden spoon. Later they were slammed into walls, hit with a kitchen pot and punched in the stomach. After the hazing, then being stalked and threatened," she feared for her life and did not believe she would survive if she returned to the university." Founded in 1922 in the midst of segregation, Sigma Gamma Rho was created to enhance the quality of college life through public service and leadership development. According to its website, the sorority has 500 chapters with 90,000 members, including former U.S. Rep Corrine Brown, D-Fla., U.S. Rep. Corrine Claiborne Boggs, D-La., and many prominent musicians, actresses and writers. In 1989, Morehouse College sophomore Joel Harris died after suffering numerous blows to the chest and face, a custom known as "thunder and lightning." The fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha—whose historical roster includes Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall—settled for $500,000. t t f f ET CETERA MEDIA PARTNERS STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE KANSAN The University Daily Kansan is the student newspaper of the University of Kansas.

She taught movement analysis workshops and classes in Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands and Switzerland, as well as the U.S. "She has been a vital force in our lives, working tirelessly to build dance from its beginnings as a program to its current status as a department in the School of the Arts," said Michelle Heffner-Hayes, professor and chair of the department of dance.

Associated Press Associated Press Sexuality courses start soon at ECM EDUCATION BY SAMANTHA COLLINS scollins@kansan.com Masturbation, homosexuality and the open discussion of sexual experiences. Ali Free, a member of the ECM's sexual education committee, said the course's topics were no longer taboo and should never be embarrassing to talk about. These and similar topics fill the curriculum of a human sexuality course offered at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Human Sexuality in Everyday Life, for which the ECM suggests students pay $50-100, will be offered every Thursday at 6 p.m., starting tomorrow. Students can register for the class at the ECM anytime before Thursday. "It's about growing as a sexual human being like as you would in any other way of your life," said Free, a sophomore from Blue Springs, Mo. "Sex education in schools, if you're lucky enough to get anything, is usually just cold and not personal," Free said. She said the class taught students the aspects of sex that were never taught in high schools. Dennis Dailey, a semi-retired professor of social welfare, will teach the nine-session course. He said students needed to understand their sexuality in order to find more self-fillment. "Most students have zip for sex education," Dailey said. "A lot of them don't have a good, sound understanding of what a healthy, ongoing, meaningful sexual relationship is." The only sexual education that Chelsea Johnson, a junior from Lawrence, received was from her parents. She said it was awkward because they didn't understand how to teach it. After she attended a human sexuality course at the ECM last year, however, she was able to openly talk about a formerly taboo word: sex. Johnson said the class "turned out to be the best decision" of her life, teaching her that a person's sexuality affects attitude, self-esteem and interaction among peers. "I never realized how much sexuality had an impact on my everyday life" Johnson said. In past years, the course was offered in the spring. Dhyaan Coil, chair of the ECM's sexuality education committee, said the committee made the switch to fall to get students involved early in the year. She said the class also helped students learn how to navigate the many negative aspects of sexuality such as cultural pressures, confining gender roles, the high instances of rape among college populations and the high divorce rate. "We are hoping it will enrich students' lives by giving them the tools to maintain healthy relationships with themselves and their partners throughout life." Coil said.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: K equals I All puzzles © King Features MUSIC Court decides in favor of Eminem MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE DETROIT — In a development that could have fallout in the world of digital music, Eminem stands to gain tens of millions of dollars in a federal court decision handed down Friday. The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously reversed a 2009 federal jury decision in a lawsuit filed by Ferndale's FBT Productions, Eminem's former production company, against his label, Aftermath Records. The jury had ruled in favor of Aftermath and its parent company, Universal Music Group. "This potentially readjusts the economics between the artist and the record company, and that's been long overdue," said FBT manager Joel Martin. "It puts Eminem in a position he should (have) been in to begin with, which is to receive a larger portion of the download royalties." The suit sought damages for songs and ringtones sold via iTunes and other online services, claiming that Universal had applied an improper royalties scheme. Eminem is one of the era's top-selling digital artists. Song download sales from this year's "Recovery" album top 6.3 million, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

As usual, parking presented a headache, but the tailgate event did not seem to add onto the difficulty. There was extra security that was provided by the hotel Abby Fritts, Prairie Village Senior, who lives on 12th street, had concerns about the effect the event would have on parking near her house.

Although I've heard about it before, I just thought it was another type of dating service matching people together according to mutual interests. a website that enables people to find possible sex partners and goes by the slogan "Life is short. Have an affair." PETER Could that be related to our relationship patterns as well? Are we cheating and divorcing more than any generation before us because it is easier to find people to cheat with? A recent University of Michigan study cited in The Kansan suggests that social media have made college students less empathetic to other people's feelings. But the student suggested those kinds of websites may be associated with a changing culture of infidelity and divorce and might make it easier for people to cheat. The Internet has made life a lot easier, from getting information to shopping to socializing. But does the Internet actually change our behavioral and emotional patterns? Betsey Stevenson, assistant professor of the University of Pennsylvania, studied divorce rates from the 1970s to the 1990s Let's Talk about Sex That runs counter to the assumption that we treat marriages and divorces today more casually than in previous decades. Benedict Carey and Tara Parker-Pope from The New York Times suggest that our view of marriage has indeed changed, but not negatively. and found that divorce numbers have steadily declined from 23 to 16 percent in the first ten years of marriage. BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI chledowksi@kansan.com Couples today take marriage more seriously and wait longer until they decide to bond for life. When thinking about divorce, they also take more time and use counseling before making the final decision. Even if a spouse has cheated, 76 percent of men and women are still together or married years later, according to a survey conducted by Peggy Vaughan, researcher and administrator of dearpeggy.com. What about our cheating culture? Having sex outside of the Associating it with an easier access to possible partners would not work in other countries where Internet is not as widely available but cheating is prevalent. relationship has always been part of human relationships in many cultures, Carey and Parker-Pope write in the Times article. One survey at the University of Vermont found that a stunning 98 percent of men and 80 percent of women in relationships fantasize about having sex with a person other than their partner. This becomes even more likely the longer the relationship lasts. That doesn't mean that they would actually do it, but it indicates how natural the idea of cheating is to us. Just to be clear: I'm not advocating cheating in any form. Besides being a nice fantasy, cheating in real life hurts people and relationships. If a person decides to cheat, that person also decides to jeopardize his or her partner's trust and wreak emotional havoc if the cheating comes out.

IRAQ WAR Everyone deserves some credit - even George Bush These subtle monosyllabic ninjas, whose political jujitsu would have you believe that BP deserves an apology, death panels await grandma and the rich deserve a free ride, are at it again. The Party of No is more flexible than it's given credit for. (I'm not sure what to call it exactly.) There is more to "no" than just no. Last week, House Minority Leader John Boehner pulled a preemptive rebuffal of President Obama's Oval Office speech. Hours before Obama announced the end of the Iraq War, Boehner told an audience in Milwaukee that George Bush should be given credit for the ... Victory? Uhh, no ... Drawdown? Ehh, kinda... Starting the Conversation Whatever it is, Boehner claimed that the transition from combat operations to Operation New Dawn was made possible by W's strategy. In a world where right is left, up is down and spending money on teachers and the unemployed is reckless. Republicans have perfected their special move, their finisher: just repeat fabrications over and over until, presto, they become facts - move perfected by Bush's handlers, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. Boehner's krane kick would leave Daniel-san wonderstruck. Within this Bizarro world, wins for Obama are getting tougher and tougher. Obama settled for claiming a campaign promise, rather than a victory. And he stayed away from declaring mission accomplished. After seven years of war, more than 4,400 casualties and nearly a trillion dollars. Obama was unable to declare victory because Iraq remains in disarray. Democracy in Iraq is as fragile as its government. Security forces are unable to fully secure the country. Gunmen and bombers take potshots at innocent civilians. And many are forced to live without basic needs, such as clean water and electricity. STATE When asked if the Iraq war was worth it, Robert Gates, the BY D.M. SCOTT secretary of defense, chose to punt. Of course Republicans would have you believe the exact opposite. These ninjas are good, but it gets even better. I guess will have to wait for the history books to tell us how we "mortgaged our children's future" by overextending ourselves to promote democracy around the world (and in countries that preferred we stay out) rather than resurrecting our economy through stimulus spending. While spending an unseemly amount of money in Iraq, our influence is rapidly diminishing. Kurdish legislator Mahmoud Othman recently said, "Neither are the Americans very much concerned about Iraq nor are Iraqis listening very much to the Americans." The dizzying, mind-numbing idea that our efforts in Iraq could possibly bear little fruit that fellow Americans fought in vain because our security was never really an issue-shocks slightly less than the fact Boehner would want his former colleague to get his proper due. Boehner is right. Bush should get credit for the war in Iraq. We just need to remember why exactly we are giving him credit Here's a hint: It's for the same reason Obama still distances himself from the war. The war in Iraq was avoidable. It was based on lies and misinformation. There were no weapons of mass destruction, and Saddam Hussein was not involved with 9/11. And no amount of political juiiitsu will change that. So thanks, W.

There were several changes made to the University's moped regulations this year. The regulations were all authorized by the Parking Commission, a standing committee of the University Senate. In past years, moped users were able to park at the bike racks and on sidewalks close to buildings. Now mopeds must be parked in designated zones around campus. Additionally, mopeds are no longer allowed on jayhawk Boulevard between the traffic-controlled hours of 7:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Moped Permit Required No Mowing/Parking Allowed Sachi Sakumura, a senior from Lawrence, said she didn't understand why the changes are necessary. icy was revised because of pedestrian safety concerns. "Most of the concern amounted from people who had experienced a moped driving in front of them or cutting them off on a sidewalk," she said. "A lot of moped users simply didn't walk their moped up to the bike racks." "I understand why they don't let cars drive on campus during class, as it inhibits the bus routes," she said. "But mopeds don't really get in the way of anything. You should be able to park it wherever as long as you have a permit for it." Several changes have been made to parking regulations this semester. Mopeds are no longer allowed to park in the bike racks on campus. Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, said the pol- Although there was already a rule that no moped could operate on sidewalks or lawns on campus, the commission decided to implement the parking changes to prevent the possibility of a pedestrian collision. To many moped drivers, these new rules take away the primary appeal of mopeds: convenience. To other drivers, the new rules are creating another issue; more limited car parking. The commission also aims to further reduce traffic on Jayhawk Boulevard. prime parking spots have been converted," Hultine said. "It's definitely a candidate for change in the future." In finding space for the new moped parking areas, the Parking and Transit Department converted 112 car-parking spaces to 262 moped spaces, a decision that has drawn some criticism from car users. "Many don't think the parking spots are being used the way that they should. In some cases, there have even been complaints that Howard Ting/KANSAN Angela Lumpkin, exercise sciences professor and member of the Parking Commission, said there were opportunities for student input before any decisions were made. "A moped riders group was involved with the identification of parking spaces and for ways to resolve any issues," Lumpkin said. "But, all of the interests of the entire community were considered and weighed to make the best decisions possible." As more students use mopeds for a cost-effective method of transportation, there is also an increasing amount of student parking violations on campus. Currently, the fines for not having a moped parking permit and for parking in the wrong zone are $20 each. An e-mail has been sent out to moped users about the location of the parking areas and the new rules, but many users are still parking in bike racks without permits. Steven Heger, a senior from Maize and a moped user, is a critic of the new regulations and said he didn't understand the reasoning behind the commission's decisions. "I feel that nothing was accomplished by this," Heger said. "I still see people parking at bike racks, and there have been car parking spots lost to this new rule." A total of 28 locations have been created for moped riders on campus. However, the zones are not permanent and can easily be converted back to car stalls. Since this is a new approach to moped parking, Parking and Transit is still in the experimental stages of determining best locations. Hultine said the feedback would only help the Parking and Transit Department reach a better balance. Although there has been a lot of criticism of the revised policy, "It certainly a work in progress and it will be tweaked as the year goes on," Hultine said. Edited by Emily McCoy CAMPUS KU remains bedbug free, despite nationwide infestation BY JONATHAN SHORMAN ishorman@kansan.com Despite the nationwide problem, the KU community has so far escaped an infestation. New York City, Minneapolis. Las Vegas. They've all been bitten by a recent rise in bedbug populations. That doesn't mean student housing is unprepared, however. Housing has a multi-step protocol in place for any reported cases of bedbugs, said Jennifer Wamelin, associate director for residence life. The protocol, which has been in place for three years, says if a student reports bedbugs, the living area is checked. If a bedbug is found, then the area is inspected by the Douglas County Extension and students and their belongings are relocated in a way that ensures moved materials are bedbug free. Wamelink said there had been no confirmed cases of bedbugs since the protocol's introduction. In addition to the protocol, Housing conducts an educational campaign each year before winter break. Wamelink said, to educate students on the danger of bedbugs and to help prevent students from bringing bedbugs back with them when they return to campus. According to the Centers for Disease Control, bedbugs are difficult to control, in part because they hide easily and are also resistant to many kinds of pesticides. Bites are similar to those of mosquitoes. or fleas. Students living in off-campus housing can also take steps to lower the possibility of bedbug infestations, including vacuuming, sealing cracks and crevices and tidying up messy areas where bedbugs could hide. Any used furniture should also be inspected for signs of bedbugs before being brought into a house or apartment, said a press release from the CDC. Nick Fleer, a junior from Overland Park, lives off campus and isn't worried about the threat of bedbugs. "Not at all. Not one little bit," Fleer said. If students visit hotels or motels in Kansas, their rooms might not have received the same care. A Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) program that inspected lodgings for cleanliness - including bedbugs - was suspended at the end of 2009 because of budget cuts. Lisa Taylor, public information officer for KDA, said the agency was working to restore the program. On July 1, a new fund was created where money from lodging license fees will be deposited. The deposited money will be used to fund inspectors, but because fees are not due until the end of the year, there isn't enough money yet to restart the program. The new program will likely launch next year. — Edited by Dana Meredith KU PRE-LAW DAY Networking | 87 Law Schools Present | LSAT Prep Info Today, Wed.

WWW.KANSAN.COM WALK IN LEW'S SHOES Sean Lester speaks to the media about becoming the interim athletics director after the retirement of Lew Perkins Tuesday. Earlier this year, Perkins announced he would retire after this school year, but on Tuesday he announced his immediate retirement. KANSAS JAYHAWKS KANSAS JAYHAWKS First Nation Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Athletics given new director Sean Lester to fill Perkins' void until a permanent athletics director is selected WHO IS SEAN LESTER? BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball Even Sean Lester was taken aback by his selection as interim athletics director at the University of Kansas. "When you get a call to go visit with the chancellor, you don't know what it's about," Lester said. "Then when she asks you that question it's a little surprising. I look forward to meeting with her later so we can talk more about it." Lester said that sometime before 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little called him into her office. It was during this meeting that Gray-Little told him that Lew Perkins was retiring effective immediately and offered Lester the position as interim athletics director. Lester worked with Perkins since 1996, save for a brief stint as a sales manager for Clear Channel Communications. He made the move to Kansas in September 2003 when Perkins was hired as athletics director. Since that time, he has served as senior associate athletics director. "Everybody in the department knows how much Sean has done since he has been here and knows how much Lew has leaned on him and knows what a huge role he has played in everything that's been going on with our department," coach Bill Self said. "Both men have great work ethic. Sean's work ethic is off the charts." Brian M. Shipley Enthusiastic praise was the tone of the day when it came to Lester, from Self and Price to Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director of external relations. - Born in Storrs, Connecticut Coach Ritch Price has worked alongside Lester for the last "four or five years" while Lester has been the sports supervisor for the baseball team. Price said it's easy to see similarities between Lester and Perkins. "I think one of the great things that both men bring to the table is that both of them bring great passion to their job," Price said. Lester - Received a bachelor's degree in English from Eastern Connecticut State. "The athletics staff will not miss a beat," Marchiony said. "We have a terrific staff here. We're excited about the future. We've all worked with Sean for several years, and we're excited to move forward." Received a master's degree in education and concentration in sports management from the University of Connecticut. "Right now my focus is just Lester will likely be a candidate to be the next athletics director, but he insists that is not his primary focus. Began career at the University of Connecticut Athletic Department. PAGE 1B Moved from Connecticut to Kansas in 2003 to join Perkins' stan on leadership within the department." Lester said. "I would love to be an AD somewhere. No question about it. And if that's Kansas, it's Kansas. But right now my mission is interim AD for the University of Kansas." - Lives in Lawrence with his wife and two young children. Lester and Self both mentioned the chancellor's plan to find a new athletics director, but neither offered any particular details. Self said, regardless of what happens, he was looking forward. "Part of me is also very excited about the future and about the direction in which we're going." Self said. "And Sean is obviously the first step in that." - Edited by Emily McCoy 24 Football fans expect better, the players do too FOOTBALL Jayhawks plan for cheers not jeers as they prepare to win on Saturday Senior running back Angus Quigley watches the final moments of Kansas' 6-3 loss to North Dakota State. It was the first time since 2003 that the Jayhawks lost their season opener. Ryan Waggoner/KANSah BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgallowy As the game wound down, the only cheers that emanated from Memorial Stadium's crowd of more than 48,000 were from the minority of Bison supporters and jaded Jayhawk fans when junior tight end Tim Biere was benched. In the closing moments of the Kansas football team's 6-3 loss to North Dakota State on Saturday night, the home of the Jayhawks turned into a house of boo birds. "We heard it," said senior running back Angus Quigley. "We try to turn the other cheek on boos because those are our fans. It always hurts because we would hope the fans have a little more faith in us as a football team, but we played terrible." Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Quigley, a team captain and sixth-year senior, is witnessing how the more positive-minded Turner Gill regime is dealing with its first adversity. Still, he and many of the fans remember the Orange Bowl victory just a screen pass to senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson went for negative yardage. "I think it's crazy," said junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson. "Sometimes people have bad games... The fans or people on the outside don't know what we go through and the hours we "It's unfortunate that we didn't go out there and play to the best of our abilities as a team." put in. For them to boo, I felt bad because Tim is a good guy." CHRIS HARRISE Senior cornerback Even with a win still in reach, many frustrated fans booed when three seasons ago. The fact that the fans have heightened expectations could be a silver lining to the boos he heard Saturday. "If they're booing. it means they have better expectations for us," Quigley said.

COMMENTARY "You never want to hear boos, especially on your home field," Harris said. "It's unfortunate that we didn't go out there and play to the best of our abilities as a team. We have to go out this week and do better." The Jayhawks have an opportunity to silence the critics as soon as this Saturday when nationally ranked Georgia Tech visits Lawrence. Though the team surprised everyone in a negative way by losing to the Mountain Valley Conference's Bison, they have a chance to pleasantly surprise their fan base against the defending ACC champion Yellow Jackets. "It would definitely change the mood around here," Harris said. "It would add some confidence to this team. We just have to go out there this week and get better at our job." Edited by Kelsey Nill Perkins has a legacy of success and drama BY NICOLAS ROESLER proesler@kansan.com The last year of Lew Perkins career was such a flasco, we could call him Luke. Regretfully, the chance to call him that has passed, along with Perkins' time here at Kansas. Yes, Kansas Athletics is worthy of envy. The whole company. And mostly because of Perkins. Sure, he wasn't a famous rapper, but he was a superstar. Perkins was the reason that Kansas Athletics grew into a program to be envious of. Perkins built football facilities that could recruit players from all across the country. He remodeled Hoglund Ballpark and renovated Allen Fieldhouse into one of the most technologically advanced college basketball venues. In all, Perkins' upgrades and reconstructions totaled close to $150 million. Anyone can walk around campus and see the results of his work. Coach Bill Self gave his respects at a press conference yesterday, saying that despite the difficult decisions that faced Perkins, his presence will not be forgotten. Self said that Perkins made decisions that took a special kind of strong-willed person, and if Perkins hadn't made those improvements when he did, the face of Kansas Athletics would never have reached what it is today. Despite the fact that last year was full of drama worthy of a CW series, all students and alumni should respect Perkins for how he handled everything. But more importantly, for the legacy he created here as the athletics director. Coach Ritch Price said that all athletics at the University will miss Perkins. Price said that what Perkins did for the budget of the Athletics Department allowed virtually all sports to grow. The respect from fans could be seen at competitions from baseball to football when people would chant "Lewl" as he walked by. Price said Perkins was unique because he got to know the student athletes. He traveled with them during NCAA tournaments and would even share meals with them. I remember in 2007 seeing Perkins walking on South Beach during the Orange Bowl, joking around with the football players while he smoked a cigar in his bathing suit and sun hat. The guy was fun. The guy was full of energy. The guy was just a laugh to look at. "He has a relationship with them," Price said. "I think there are a lot of athletics directors in the country where student athletes have never even met the athletics director" He was bigger than half of the football team and could hit them on the shoulder with no fear of a payback punch. He was Lew. And he was bigger than you. Just like the memories I have of him at the Orange Bowl, alumni and students alike should only hold Perkins in the fondness of their memories. Speculations of why he retired at this point are bound to explode, and I question the timing as well. But don't let the accusations stain his legacy here. Self said Perkins was leaving content with his decision and excited for the future. Let's try to look forward with excitement as well. — Edited by Alex Tretbar --- 2B SPORTS / WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "Don't look back.

Kathleen Gier STATE High school RB scores 10 touchdowns in win JETMORE — Hodgeman County High School running back Evan Kreger could not have had a much better game in the first contest of his senior year. Kreger scored 10 touchdowns in Hodgeman County's 74-8 win over Pawnee Heights Friday night. And he scored in all phases of the game — running, returning an interception and taking back a punt. That's a Kansas eight-man record and ties a national eight-man record, according to the National High School Record Book. Kreger's scores all came in the first half, and the game was called at halftime. Associated Press Football gets a woman's touch MORNING BREW W W here is the right place to make a pre-game speech when coach isn't allowed in the locker room? Natalie Randolph is a woman and also the new head football coach at Calvin Coolidge Senior High School in Washington, D.C.. Sure, there's never been a female football coach for high school boys before. And sure, there are doubters everywhere, from parents to newspaper readers to now-transferred players. But that doesn't stop Randolph from firing up her football team like Mike Ditka on a Sunday in '85. ESPN's "Outside the Lines" recently documented the science teacher-turned-coach's tale. The piece one-on-one interview depicts everything that one might expect out of someone, well, completely dissociated from football, actually. Randolph's voice squeaks and chimes. Her hair beams from a golden dye. Her earrings glisten and her demeanor is upbeat and peppy. And her goal is clear: academics then football. "All of the other candidates promised me a winning season, jackets and all," Coolidge principal Thelma Jarrett said. "I'm thinking, that's not what I want." Randolph impressed Jarrett with a sevenpoint academic plan that included progress reports, behavior contracts and a list of consequences for disobedience. Alas, the hiring of Randolph came with many of the hardships of a pioneer. BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com After showering her starting quarterback with tutorials and an expensive visit to a summer passing camp (funded by alumni donations), he transferred to a rival school. So did many others. They simply didn't think they could win with Randolph, a woman, at the helm. "I knew that was going to happen," Randolph said. "It's a man's sport so far." But others are going along with the new script and it just might pay off. Team captain and national merit scholar Daniel West pushed his skepticism aside. He now plans to apply to Yale and Columbia to play football. "She could care less if we won a game, she just wanted me to do something with my life." West said. District coaching legend Bob Headen, who has sent 14 players to the NFL, was also impressed with Randolph's tale. At age 70, Headen came out of retirement to become a part of her staff. THE MORNING BREW "When you look at this young lady," Headen said, "you're looking at history" Randolph also has more of a football mind than you might think. Randolph can describe the periodic table in a flash and walk you through the Krebs Cycle with ease, but she also knows about X receivers, men in motion and 3-4 defenses. After all, she once kicked some serious ass playing for the D.C. Divas of the Independent Women's Football League. Then known for her speed and special teams savvy, Randolph claims that she couldn't have even become a science teacher without playing first. Football was her confidence booster, and now it's her trail to blaze. All there's left to do is ...win one for the grip-ette. Edited by Joel Petterson Boise State is talk of college football ASSOCIATED PRESS More AP Top 25 voters are buying into Boise State as the No.1 team in the country. Boise State gained seven firstplace votes and closed in on No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Ohio State as the top three teams in the first regular season Associated Press football poll held their spots from the preseason. The Broncos remained third after a thrilling 33-30 victory against Virginia Tech on Monday night, receiving eight first-place votes and 1,399 points from the media panel, 13 points behind the Buckeyes. Ohio State received four first-place votes and 1,412 points. Alabama had 47 first-place votes, down seven from the preseason poll, and 1,484 points in the rankings released Tuesday. TCU from the Mountain West Conference moved up two spots to No. 4, marking the first time since the Bowl Championship Series was implemented in 1998 that two teams from conferences without automatic BCS bids have been in the top five. Boise State is the defending Western Athletic Conference champion. Texas remained No. 5 and received one first-place vote. Oklahoma fell three places after Utah State 31-24. The rest of the top 10 is Nebraska at No. 6, followed by Oregon, which moved up four spots after beating New Mexico 72-0. Iowa is No. 9. No. 13 Virginia Tech dropped three spots after Boise State scored a touchdown with 1:09 left to beat the Hokies at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. No. 8 Florida dropped four spots after a sloppy 34-12 victory against Miami (Ohio) and No. 10 Falling out of the rankings after close opening losses were Oregon State, Pittsburgh and North Carolina. Moving in were No. 20 Utah, No. 24 South Carolina and No. 25 Stanford. But the big story is Boise State and the Broncos very well could be the talk of college football all season. Boise State jumped to a 17-0 first-quarter lead, watched that lead evaporate, then needed a two-minute drill capped by a 13-yard touchdown pass from Kellen Moore to Austin Pettis to win its 15th straight game. They entered Monday with their best preseason ranking and a legitimate chance to be national championship contenders — if they could beat the Hokies and then flawlessly navigate a schedule with no games more difficult than the first. week. " (The Broncos) outgained Virginia Tech and hung 33 on the Hokies. The last two teams to score more than 30 against (defensive coordinator) Bud Foster's defense — Alabama in 2009 and LSU in 2007 — went on to win the national title. "This was no fluke," said voter Brett McMurphy of AOL Fanhouse, who had Boise State No. 1 this "Will Boise? Who knows, but the Broncos deserve the top ranking for this week anyway." AP TOP 25 The Broncos have finished the last two regular seasons with perfect records, but neither time was it enough to earn them a spot in the national championship game. They beaten out by teams from the so-called power conferences with BCS automatic bids, teams like Alabama from the Southeastern Conference and Ohio State from the Big Ten. This season could be different. Boise State doesn't have to climb over scores of teams to get into position to contend for a spot in the BCS title game, spots determined in large part by the coaches' poll and the Harris poll. 1. Alabama "We've just got a long tough hard season, and the bull's-eye will continue to grow, and it's just going to be one game at a time," coach Chris Petersen said. Boise State was third in the coaches' poll this week, moving up two spots. The coaches also had Alabama first and Ohio State second. The Harris poll is not released until October. 2. Ohio State 3.

Coach Bill Self said he THE GAME Selbv hoped something can be figured out within the week. "I'm hoping that we know something sooner rather than later," Self said. "Sooner would be this week." The talented freshman was rated No.1 overall by Rivals.com, but his amateur status is up in the air because of a relationship with Robert "Bay" Frazier, the manager of the NBAs Carmelo Anthony, all of whom are from Baltimore. The questions about the relationship revolve around whether Selby has entered into an illegal verbal agreement to hire Frazier as his manager when he enters the NBA. "It anticipated that there could be a situation where things could be looked into, absolutely. No question," Self said. "But I didn't think it was going to last until after classes had started."

KANSAN FILE PHOTO That will change this week when the Sooners host No. 20 Florida State. "Our play (offensively) was uneven, not where we want it to be, but I will say we held quite a few things that we didn't show that we've been working on which didn't help us." Stoops said Tuesday at his weekly press conference. "But we didn't execute as well in some areas as we should have." Since Jones completed only 47.2 percent of his passes and threw two interceptions, Stoops was asked if he's concerned about his sophomore quarterback. Opening up the playbook might help Landry Jones who didn't play well in a 31-24 win over Utah State. "I'm concerned with the way everybody played." Stoops said. "That's my job to be concerned and try work practice in a way to help you improve. But I've seen Landry play a good number of games now.

Francisco Liriano (13-7) raised his second-half record to 7-0 in 10 starts, giving up seven hits and two runs in seven easy innings. J.J. Hardy had three RBIs for the Twins, who scored six times in the third against Brian Bannister (7-12) and moved $4\frac{1}{2}$ games ahead Chicago in the division race. The White Sox lost to Detroit 9-1, ending their seven-game winning streak. The Twins have won five straight, 10 of their last 12 and 33 of 45. After one-run decisions in eight of their last nine games, winning six of those tight ones, the Twins were eager for a breather. That's exactly what they got, thanks to Young and Hardy at the bottom of the lineup. Manager Ron Gardenhire was able to take some of his regulars out early, and newly recalled relievers Glen Perkins and Pat Neshek worked an inning apiece. The Royals lead the majors with 53 one-run games, just ahead of the Twins' 49. Bannister lasted only 2 2/3 innings. All seven runs against him scored with two outs, with Jason Kubel, Young and Hardy delivering the RBIs in the third. After tailing off following his torrid July, Young bounced back in a big way. Thome has been steady all season long. Just seconds after the White Sox score flashed final, he went deep in the sixth inning on a 3-2 count to make it 10-2. This was Thome's 22nd homer of the season, estimated by the team's media relations staff at 452 feet. It tied him with Frank Robinson for eighth place on the career list with 586. The ball soared over right field and past the American flag, traveling to almost exactly the same place his estimated 480-foot shot landed in Monday's game against the Royals. Thome has four home runs in his last three games. Josh Fields hit his first homer for the Royals after hitting 31 in stints with the White Sox over the last four seasons, and Alex Gordon made a diving catch in left field to steal a hit from Orlando Hudson for the first out of the fateful third inning. After a little prompting from the Target Field crowd, Thome stepped out of the dugout and waved to the fans. But that was about all the Royals had to be happy about. They fell to a season-high 24½ games out of first place and a season-high 24 games under .500 (57-81). MLB Phillies inches into NL East lead ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Placido Polanco hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Florida Marlins 8-7 Tuesday night to move into first place in the NL East. The Phillies moved a half-game ahead of Atlanta, which lost 5-0 in Pittsburgh. The two-time defending NL champions hadn't been in first place since May 30. They're seeking their fourth straight division title. Ryan Howard, Raul Ibanez and Shane Victorino each hit a solo homer for the Phillies, who were seven games behind the Braves on July 22. After the Marlins rallied to tie it at 7 in the eighth, the Phillies answered with two outs in the bottom half. Victorino blooped a single to center off Jose Veras (2-2). He stole second and scored on Polanco's liner to right. Ryan Madson (5-2) got the last four outs to earn the win. Phillies starter Joe Blanton allowed four runs — two earned — and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. Mike Stanton homered for the third straight game for Florida. Marlins starter Chris Volstad gave up five runs and nine hits in five innings. A crowd of 43,841 was the 113th straight sellout at Citizens Bank Park, and fans did some scoreboard watching in case the Phillies weren't paying attention. When the Pirates took a 1-0 lead over the Braves in the seventh inning at Pittsburgh, fans clapped. They cheered louder when it became 3-0 minutes later. Down 7-4, the Marlins rallied against three relievers with help from the sloppy Phillies in the eighth. Stanton led off with a homer against Jose Contreras. With two outs, Brad. Uggla walked, Gaby Sanchez fled out to end the inning. Jimmy Rollins, batting fifth for the second straight game instead of his usual leadoff spot, hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom half.

Braves had been in possession of the division lead since May 31. The Braves dropped into second place in the NL East, one-half game behind Philadelphia, which beat Florida 8-7 on Tuesday. The It's easy to find a culprit for the Braves' slide — they have scored only 12 runs while losing five of six, a slump that followed a five-game winning streak. The Pirates had lost seven of nine and were on pace to lose 109 games before winning the first two games of the three-game series. Tim Hudson (15-7), losing his second straight after winning six in a row, held the Pirates to three hits over six shutout innings, but he retired only one batter during the Pirates' breakthrough seventh inning. He was charged with four runs after pitching 28 consecutive innings against Pittsburgh without allowing an earned run. Garrett Jones and Pedro Alvarez doubled in succession with one out for the game's first run. After Ryan Doumit was intentionally walked, Cedeno tripled off the right-field wall to make it 3-0. Hudson left one batter later, and reliever Eric O'Flaherty gave up pinch-hitter Delwyn Young's two-run homer into the left-field bleachers. Young's seventh homer was the Pirates' first by a pinch-hitter in 29 at-bats. McDonald, the former Dodgers prospect, made the most effective of his seven starts with Pittsburgh and his first against Atlanta, limiting the Braves to five hits. Joel Hanrahan closed it out in the ninth — following a 43-minute rain delay — for his second save in as many days, and his fifth in eight opportunities. Evan Meek pitched a scoreless eighth as the three pitchers combined for Pittsburgh's sixth shutout. Atlanta has been shut out 10 times. The Braves twice looked like they might break through against McDonald, who gave up 14 earned runs in 16 1-3 innings while losing his last three starts. They put two on with two outs in the fifth, but McDonald got Hudson to pop up. An inning later, the Braves loaded the bases when Jason Heyward walked, Martin Prado doubled for only his second hit in 20 at-bats in PNC Park this season and Brian McCann was walked, but Derrek Lee grounded into a double play. Lee, acquired from the Cubs to give the Braves a much-needed power bat down the stretch, has yet to homer and is batting .228 (13 for 57) in 17 games with Atlanta. Lee was hitless in four at-bats.

"I do it pretty religiously," said Whitmore, 25, a gym trainer in London. He first started drinking milk after exercise about 10 years ago when he couldn't afford expensive supplements or protein shakes. "Milk helps me recover faster and I feel great afterwards," he said. "And now, I hate to train without it." Researchers are giving scientific support to a view that Whitmore vouches for from experience: that milk may be just as good or even better than sports drinks for serious athletes recovering from exercise. The health benefits of milk — which are carbohydrates, electrolytes, calcium and vitamin D hydroxy, calcium and vitamin D — have long been established. But for athletes, milk also contains the two proteins best for rebuilding muscles; casein and whey. Muscles get damaged after an intense bout of aerobic exercise like running, playing football, or cycling. The casein and whey proteins in milk are precisely what the body needs to regenerate muscles fast. Glenys Jones, a nutritionist at Britain's Medical Research Council, said milk's protein content makes it an ideal post-exercise drink. wilk provides the building blocks for what you need to build new muscles," Jones said, who has no ties to the dairy industry. "Milk provides the building blocks for what you need to build new muscles." She said sports drinks mainly replace lost carbohydrates and electrolytes, and don't usually have the necessary nutrients for muscles to regenerate themselves. Experts have generally been divided over whether milk outperforms sports drinks. Dairy producers have been eager to break into the multibillion-dollar market, often sponsoring research into milk's athletic benefits that some call biased. So the debate continues, but milk has been getting a lot of attention. In a study published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism in June, researchers found people who drank milk after training were able to exercise longer in their next session than people who had sports drinks or water. Cockburn advised athletes to drink milk immediately after working out. "The damage caused by exercise leads to a breakdown of the protein structures in your muscles, but that doesn't happen until 24 to 48 hours later," she said. If athletes drink milk right after training, then by the time it is digested, the milk's nutrients are ready to be absorbed by the muscles that have been hurt. "It's the form of the carbohydrate and the nutrients in milk that is most important," said Emma Cockburn, a lecturer in sports coaching at Northumbria University in northeast England who led the study, which was partially paid for by the dairy industry. Drinking milk also may help athletes recover quicker if they are performing multiple times in a day. For people who can't stomach the idea of plain milk, experts recommend adding some chocolate or other artificial flavor. At the Beijing Olympics, six-time gold medallist Michael Phelps regularly downed a flavored milk drink in between races. women who drank milk after lifting weights gained about 4.4 pounds (2 kilos) of muscle and lost about the same amount of body fat. Women who drank sports drinks put on about 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilos) of muscle but didn't lose any body fat. "It may be that some of the components of milk — the protein, the vitamin D and the calcium — act in a synergistic fashion to promote fat loss," said Stuart Phillips, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University who led the research. Phillips has advised the Canadian Olympic Association about milk and the dairy industry paid for part of his research. Scientists at Loughborough University have found low-fat milk is better than sports drinks for replacing fluids lost during exercise. Scientists reason there may be two reasons for that. Not only does milk have a lot of electrolytes, but it is emptied from the stomach more slowly than sports drinks, keeping the body hydrated for longer. Attle the Vancouver Olympics, dairy farmers trained in about 85,000 But some experts warned that drinking milk after exercise isn't for everyone. Catherine Collins, a spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association and a dietician at London's St. George's Trust, said while milk may be beneficial for elite athletes who burn thousands of calories a day during their intensive training, occasional gym-goers may be better off drinking sports drinks or plain water. Though the vitamins and proteins found in milk are present in soy milk or dietary supplements, experts say milk has better proportions of those nutrients. Milk also may help athletes shed fat and build muscle. In a small Canadian study, experts found GLENYS JONES Nutritionist extra quarts (80,000 liters) of chocolate milk. Canadian athletes won a record-setting 14 gold medals. "I don't know if the milk helped, but it can't have hurt," Phillips said. Still, even those who promote milk as a recovery drink say it cannot entirely replace sports drinks. Because it is harder to digest, people should only drink milk after they are finished exercising, not during. In comparison, sports drinks like Gatorade have easily digestible sugars so athletes can chug it during events to get an instant boost. Whitmore says it may be a tough sell to persuade people to swap their energy drinks and water. Manning keeps Colts as contenders NFL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE DALLAS — Only three quarterbacks in NFL history have won more games than Peyton Manning. Only three quarterbacks have passed for more yards and touchdowns than Manning, and only two have completed more passes. His arm has few peers in the NFL record book. But Manning does something even better as a quarterback than throw a football — he gives his team a chance to win every Sunday, every season. Almost since the day Manning arrived in 1998, the Colts became playoff contenders. As he grew into the elite, sion titles in the decade, matching Aikman. Bradshaw and Montana won seven. of a franchise quarterback, the Colts became annual Super Bowl contenders. The one time Manning failed to take the Colts to the playoffs in the decade was 2001 when two-time NFL rushing champion Edgerrin James suffered a season-ending knee injury in the sixth game. The Colts went on to lose seven of their final 10 games in finishing 6-10. Since the James injury, Manning has steered the Colts to at least 10 victories in each of the next eight seasons. No other quarterback in NFL history has ever done that. Counting the postseason, he has quarterbacked the Colts to 108 victories in 144 games since 2002. And that's why the Colts remain the team to beat in 2010. Manning is fresh off Almost since the day Manning arrived in 1998, the Colts became playoff contenders. As he grew into the stature of a franchise quarterback, the colts became superbowl contenders. And Manning has achieved a record fourth NFL MVP season and a second career Super Bowl appearance. He is the best player in his sport. Manning started every game of the 2000 decade and took the Colts to the playoffs nine times. Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw (1970s), Joe Montana (1980s) and Troy Aikman (1990s) all took their teams to the playoffs eight times in a decade. Manning won six divi- thoseheights with flawed teams. Manning managed 12 victories and a league MVP award in 2004 despite playing with the NFLS 29th-ranked defense. Manning managed 13 victories in 2007 despite a lineup that lost an NFL runner-up 81 games by starters because of injury. Manning managed 12 victories in 2008 and another MVP honor despite playing with the NFLs 31st-ranked rushing attack and worst-ranked special teams. He took the Colts to the Super Bowl and again was the league MVP in 2009 with the NFLs worst rushing attack and 24th-ranked run defense. Manning carried the Colts to their lone title of the decade in 2006 despite playing with the worst run defense (32nd in the NFL), worst scoring defense (23rd) and worst special teams (30th) of any Super Bowl champion. Inexperienced wideouts Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon will be experienced in 2010. Forced to play last year because of the departure of Marvin Harrison and the absence of Gonzalez, the rookie Collier turned in 60 catches and seven touchdowns and second-year man Garcon had 47 catches and a team-best 16.3-yard average. Both will be better in 2010. So will Donald Brown, the team's No.1 draft pick in 2009 who carried the ball just 78 times in the shadow of Pro Bowl halfback Joseph Addai. Also, 2010 No.1 draft pick Jerry Hughes of TCU arrives to make a speed pass rush featuring Pro Bowlers Dwight Freeyen and Robert Mathis even faster. So pencil in the Colts as the AFC champion, and they'll face the Cowboys in the Super Bowl at Cowboys Stadium. The Cowboys will have the home field, but the Colts will have Manning. In today's NFL, championships are won and lost at the quarterback position. So go with the best player of his generation in the Super Bowl — Manning. You Have an Option Exercise it!

STATE 11 Georgia Tech quarterback Joshua Nesbitt stiff-arms a South Carolina State player as he runs for his third touchdown at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday September 4, 2010. Georgia Tech won 41-10. ASSOCIATED PRESS McClatchy-Tribune The warning came in the form of a question: How would you feel if you lost to South Carolina State? ATLANTA — Paul Johnson is warning his Georgia Tech players they better not be distracted as they prepare for the program's first road game at a Big 12 school since 1992. Georgia Tech moved up one spot to No.15 on Tuesday after its 41-10 opening win over South Carolina State, but the question from the coach was relevant as he sought to keep his team focused. The Yellow Jackets play at Kansas on Saturday. Kansas suffered a 6-3 home loss to North Dakota State last week. Both South Carolina State and North Dakota State are FCS schools. Johnson's warning was that if Georgia Tech players understood they would have extra motivation following an embarrassing loss, they can expect the same reaction from Kansas. "It's like I told them on Monday, you better brace for their best shot," Johnson said. "Their backs are against the wall. They're going to come out fighting. They'll be upset. They'll be mad." "I asked our team, 'How would you be on Monday if you lost to South Carolina State?' That's all you've got to think about. They will be upset." This is a rare travel opportunity for Georgia Tech (1-0), which hasn't played a regular-season game west of the Mississippi River since opening the 2003 season with a loss at BYU. Georgia Tech played at Baylor in 1992 in its last game at a Big 12 school. Georgia Tech also traveled west when it lost to Fresno State in the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho on Dec. 31, 2007. Kansas will play at Georgia Tech next season. The Jayhawks' loss to North Dakota State came in Turner Gill's debut as coach, and it left Kansas with an eight-game losing streak. Kansas fans booed during the loss. Johnson said he knows how it feels to be booed by home fans. He said he heard boos and insults as a coach at his high school alma mater in Avery County, N.C. "Fans will be fans," Johnson said. "I can remember my first coaching job. I think the first year we didn't lose a regular-season game in high school and it was actually my hometown. The second year we lost one in the regular season and as we were coming off the field they were yelling 'Fire the bums.' They were yelling at me 'Hey, you weren't any good when you played." Added Johnson: "Fans will be fans. That's what they do" on defense and a slow start for the passing game in the win over South Carolina State as reasons his players should not look past Kansas. Johnson referred to breakdowns "If our guys are overconfident of the effort they put out there, it's going to be a long year," he said.

"I don't know who let who by . . . but there were people in my face. That prevented a lot of things." Tech (0-1), which fell to No. 13 in Tuesday's Associated Press poll, finished the game with 44 carries for 128 yards. The vaunted running back trio of Williams, Darren Evans and David Wilson had a combined 25 rushes for 58 yards. Evans, who had three carries for 12 yards, never got started in his first game back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that kept him out all last season. Wilson, who said last week in a perfect world he'd prefer to have about 10 carries a game to justify not redshirting him this season, had just one carry for 2 yards.

THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2010 WWW.KANSAN.COM CHAIR AFFAIR VOLUME 123 ISSUE 16 Underground expansion Officials approve addition of 139 seats BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com The approximately $500,000 expansion awaits final approval from the Memorial Corporation University officials have tentatively agreed to a 139-seat expansion to The Underground designed to alleviate congestion in the overcrowded food court. Chairman Adam Miklos, a sophomore from Hutchinson, said he expected the board to make a final decision at its next meeting on Dec. 4. "There's student demand certainly," Miklos said. "We're going to find a way to remedy the situation so it's not as much of a headache walking into The Underground everyday." The proposed expansion was one of KUnited's central campaign platforms during Student Senate elections last spring—and one of its "It's a problem and people know it." Smith said in reference to the congestion "I think once we present it to the Senate it's something that's going to take immediate action." University officials said they'd like to see a contractor signed in January and construction begin in May. An exact timeline for the proposed expansion remains undetermined. Building Services Director Wayne Pearse estimated that construction would take three months to complete. If plans move forward as expected, students can expect to see an expanded Underground by the beginning of next school year. But what's good for students isn't always good for business. "I think the sales are not going to change whether we add seats or not." Mucci said. "If we don't really see it as a good business decision, then can we justify it through other funding approaches?" David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, which manages all food services on campus, said it was difficult to justify the $500,000 expansion as a business investment unless sales increased as a result. He said he was doubtful of that happening. In looking for other approaches, Mucci and the board turned to Senate. Smith said a $12 student fee for building renovations would help cover a portion of the $500,000 expansion. That fee is set to expire next year, though Smith said it might be extended at a lower rate. He estimated the extended fee would cost students $2 to $5 per semester. Approximately 3,500 sale transactions occur each day at The Underground, according to Nona Golledge, director of KU dining services. Nearly half of those transactions occur between 11 a.m and 1:30 p.m. Golledge said those figures were unlikely to change. "We don't anticipate we'll see a big increase in numbers," she said. "The seating is just going to help the current customer flow." Golledge and Mucci said what may relieve congestion most at The Underground was a $60,000 expansion of food services next door in Anschutz Library. That expansion will create more seating and a small espresso bar on the library's fourth floor. Construction will be completed over winter break and the expanded food counter will open in January. "That may be the thing that saves us more than anything," Mucci said. Despite the popularity of the proposed Underground expansion, KU officials said increasing the number of seats may not be enough to fully relieve congestion, but that it would be a start. "Could we ever put enough out there?" asked Pearse. "It's hard to say. But between Anschutz and The Underground it's certainly going to be more accommodating." — Edited by Tim Dwyer JAYPLAY | INSIDE Look at the writing on the wall The Spencer Museum of Art hosts Dan Perjovschi's Drawing art exhibit through Feb. 6 2011.

The University decided to dredge the sediment from the bottom of the lake, restoring depth lost during the years. The sediment has piled up during the years, because of runoff from surrounding areas that drain into the lake. The project, which was approved last semester and was scheduled to be finished before the beginning of this semester, is now scheduled to be finished by next Friday. Months shy of its 100th birthday, a campus landmark awaits another resurrection. Dredging has begun at Potter Lake, slightly behind schedule yet still exceeding the expectations of the lake's advocates. "For our group this was our highest priority," said Melissa Allen, vice president of the Potter Lake Project. "However, it was not the goal we thought we could accomplish this quickly due to funding." Funding for the project was approved by Student Senate in April. The Student Senate Finance Committee, the Chancellor's office and KU Endowment gifts fund the $125,000 dredging process. A second $200,000 project funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act replaced the storm sewer line from Jayhawk Boulevard to the lake and installed three new catch basins on the north and south side of the road. Jim Modig, Director of Design and Construction Management for KU, said the changes aim to prevent overflows of sediment-carrying water down to the lake. The dredging process was to begin in June and conclude by the start of this semester. Modig said a technical glitch in the University's bid documents required a revision and reopening of the bidding process. When the contract was awarded to Cobra Contractors for about $112,000, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico further delayed the dredging because the company was also providing materials for relief efforts in the gulf. Modig said dredging began about three weeks ago and will take another two to three weeks. He described the process as using a mix between a rotary tiller and a snow blower. A device grinds material at the bottom of the lake and suspends it into water, which is then sucked up and pumped into large bags. The bags, between 16 to 20 feet in width and up to 50 feet in length, sit near Memorial Stadium's parking lot. Once in the bag, the water separates from the sediment and is returned to the lake. A sediment basin was also built toward the north end of the lake that will help filter materials that do make it down from lavihawk Boulevard. Modig said the process was projected to take eight weeks but is contingent upon the relative continuity of warm, dry weather that will allow the collected materials to dry. The lake was last dredged in 1957. Excess sediment and plant life that has accumulated since then is responsible for the death of fish and unwanted sights and smells. Potter Lake Project President Matt Nahrstedt said the group intends to plant native plants in the basin in October to further help filtration. Allen, a senior from St. Louis, said shed love to see the scenic beauty of the lake return. Nahrstedt, a senior from St. Peters, Mo., said the lake's appearance makes it look inaccessible to the community. "I think it's an extremely visual problem," he said. When Modig was a student at KU in the late 1960s, he said the lake was so clear that when it was still, one could see a pristine reflection of the Campanile. Modig said the project aims to keep Potter Lake a University icon. "That is a cherished feature that not very many campuses have," Modig said. Once dredging is completed, the Primary recommendations included: In addition to the current dredging process, The Potter Lake Project introduced 22 other recommendations for restoring the lake. Native plantings - Path meeting the regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act Lowest cost options named by the project: Best management practices —Trash cans and recycling receptacles —Gross cam Grass carp visible changes to the lake will take awhile longer. Allen said the lake's mossy green surface won't die off until colder weather arrives. "I think this spring is a good debut for Potter Lake," Allen said.

DUI arrests result of Kansas initiative LAW ENFORCEMENT BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com A recent DUI check lane in Lawrence contributed to 22 DUI-related arrests in Douglas County between Friday evening, Aug. 27, and noon Sunday, Aug. 29. Police stopped a total of 278 vehicles. Douglas County law enforcement officers operated the check lane, located at the 1800 block of Kentucky Street. "The sheriff's office and the Lawrence Police Department do get involved with a program sponsored by the Kansas Department of Traffic Safety," Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff's spokesman, said. These are certainly not monthly, but we may do four or more a year." The scheduled check lane was in compliance with the statewide "Drunk driving. Over the limit. Under arrest" initiative. In early August, the KDOT Bureau of Transportation and Safety Technology announced the increased statewide DUI enforcement mobilization, which took place from Aug. 20 to Labor Day. "The time and location must be specific," Lewis said. "Grant money pays us to hire and pay for overtime and saturation patrol. We do a certain number of crackdowns a year to give them the statistics that they require? The University of Kansas Public Safety Office, who have the authority to issue DUIs, also participated in the check lane, as Jimmy Ahern, a junior from Chicago, discovered after a night out. "I got a DU1 last semester, driving on campus," Ahern said. "Campus police pulled me over for not stopping for a full three seconds at a stop sign." Ahern, who refused a breathalyzer and failed his field sobriety test, is due back in court in October. "Since I wouldn't do the breathalyzer, I automatically got my license suspended for a year," Ahern said. "My lawyer told me, 'You can either take your medicine now, or you can take it later.'" "I definitely should not have been driving," Ahern said. If convicted, Ahern will face a mandatory 48 hours in prison. Kansas, according to KDOT. Of those crashes, half were caused by drivers between the ages 20 and 34. This year, the Douglas County Police Department said, 344 DUI-related arrests have been made in Douglas County. In 2008, the most recent year for which statewide data is available, there were 120 alcohol-related crashes that caused 131 deaths in "The point is, we do this at our own choice," Lewis said. "If you drive drunk, whether you are over 21 or under, there will be consequences."

As humans increasingly rely on iPhones, laptops and other gadgets to manage their fast-paced lifestyles, architecture students are hard at work trying to keep up with new trends and design the next big thing. "Computers have really changed the way architecture is being practiced," said Nils Gore, associate professor in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning. "Even compared to the way it was when I was in school 25 years ago, they didn't exist in the practice of architecture, and now it's kind of hard to imagine doing architecture without them." Digital design is a new movement in the industrial and architectural world that swaps the use of a standard pencil and pad of paper with a keyboard and computer program. Changes from old to modern design methods are what prompted members of KU's American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) to host Digital Design Week. The week-long event began Monday and offers architectural and industrial design students the opportunity to discuss the future of their transforming industry. "I think the change is an extremely exciting thing," said Yong Zhang, president of AIAS. It's a good thing because now designers can use digital tools to design things that otherwise would be impossible, he said. These designs include everything from buildings that are uniquely shaped to buildings that are made of cement and fabric. "A lot of designs we see by using digital technology today are really organic," Zhang said. "It's more of a sculpture other than a building or an object that you normally make and also it opens up a lot of opportunities and challenges for other people." While this new digital technology allows students and design professionals in the architecture industry to expand on their design creativity, its newness has resulted in a few problems. "It's so expensive," Yang said. "Even though firms are excited by the possibilities that the new technology brings, it's not what they're used to." Steve Hardy, a director of the international architectural group, Urban Future Organization, will speak to students on Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the Spencer Museum of Art about these challenges and share stories about his success in the field of digital design. "It shows you stuff that's outside of the box," said third-year architecture student Julie Lickenbrock. "They're talking about architecture of the future because we're all going to be designing the future."

The town's name is real. But when Josh Moore tried to tell Seattle-based Microsoft and the enforcement team at Xbox Live, they wouldn't take his word for it. Or Google it. Instead, they suspended his gaming privileges until Moore could convince them the location in his profile, "fort gay WV," wasn't a joke or a slur. Moore, an unemployed factory worker who plays shooters under the gamertag Joshanboo. Angry and incredulous, Moore contacted customer service. "Unfortunately, one of my people agreed with that. ... When it was brought to my attention, we did revoke the suspension." Toulouse said he will contact Moore and apologize. Staying ahead of slang and policing Xbox for offensive is a constant challenge, he said. "In this very, very specific case, a mistake was made," he said, "and we're going to make it right." icy and enforcement for Xbox Live blamed miscommunication.

He had "GET MONEY" shaved into the hair on one side of his head. He also had "GET" tattooed on his right hand and "MONEY" on his left hand. The Seattle pi.com reports a detective searched records using the tattoo information and identified a suspect who was later pulled over by a patrol officer in the Lake City neighborhood. His "GET MONEY" haircut and tattoos matched, and 18-year-old Larry Shawn Taylor was identified by the victim in the Aug. 23 robbery.

The next day, an ACLU leader, addressing privacy concerns raised by the new feature, complained that she would like to hang out at the Nut House without Facebook asking "again and again and again if I want that shared with everyone nearby!" So what better place than this irreverent, bustling watering hole, located just a short jaunt down California Avenue from Facebook headquarters, to assess Silicon Valley buzz about "The Social Network," the upcoming Hollywood film about Facebook's messy genesis.

Just the night before, when they'd gone out to see "Inception," Maya and Aubrie caught the trailer for "The Social Network." It changed Maya's mind.

It had been previously EDITORIAL BOARD Perkins helped athletics, but tainted school name Tuesday's announcement that athletics director Lew Perkins was resigning effective immediately sent shockwaves through the university community. Although Perkins had announced in June his intention to leave next September, the suddenness of his departure images during Perkins' term. To be sure, Perkins was instrumental in a number of positive decisions for athletics and the University since becoming the athletics director in 2003. Perkins leaves behind a significant legacy-both good and bad. Under his leadership, the Booth Family Hall of Athletics was added to Allen Fieldhouse, new football facilities were built near Memorial reported that his contract contained a retention bonus of $2 million if he stayed through June 2011. Although he leaves in early September, he will still receive approximately $2 million. Although the retention bonus is not taken from taxpayer money, the fact that it will be doled out despite Perkins' early exit should raise eyebrows. At this point, the reason for the premature payout can be only be speculated, but whatever the reason, it is one final bad image for a university and an athletics department that has suffered more than its share of bad Stadium, KU football won the Orange Bowl and men's basketball won the NCAA championship. But his time as director was also marked by controversy. Packing was behind the use of a points system for Fieldhouse seating, which resulted in many longtime donors losing their traditional seats. He was in charge when it was discovered that employees in the athletics department had diverted over $1 million in tickets for personal use and profit. He was in charge when football and basketball players slugged it out last fall near Wescoe Hall. He was in charge when Mark Mangino faced accusations of abuse and subsequently resigned. Perkins was also under suspicion of violating ethics in regards to exchanges of basketball tickets for exercise equipment. Although he was cleared of any wrongdoing at the university level, a state-level ethics investigation remains ongoing. A story last month in the Kansas City Star also detailed Perkins' use of the University's plane, which we believe was wasteful and excessive. It may be tempting when looking back on Perkins' tenure to turn a blind eye to the dark times experienced under his leadership and focus only on his successes. But this urge must be resisted. The worst lesson that could be taken from Perkins' time at KU would be that scandal and questionable practices are simply the cost of doing business. Poor ethics, or the appearance of poor ethics, must not be tolerated. No amount of fundraising or number of national championships should ever exempt any leader within this university - athletic or otherwise - from the highest standards of conduct. At the end of the day, Perkins had tainted the University's name and unfortunately, but rightly, had to go. EDITORIAL CARTOON — Jonathan Shorman for The Kansan Editorial Board. GENERAL PETRAEUS KNOWS I'M ENDANGERING AMERICAN LIVES, BUT I DON'T CARE! I'M GOING TO PRETEND THAT I REPRESENT CHRISTIANITY AND I WILL DESTROY THIS HOLY BOOK BECAUSE I PRETEND THAT AL QAEDA REPRESENTS ISLAM! TERRY JONES INFLAMMATORY RHETORIC GUEST COLUMN HATE SPEECH IS NEVER PRETTY During economic uncertainty, financial knowledge essential Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke put it best at his Aug. 27 Jackson Hole speech: We are having a "crisis of confidence" in the U.S. and abroad. Here is a condensed list of overlooked economic and market indicators every person should know if they're interested in making money. This statistic is important because of its timeliness to the markets as compared to the monthly released unemployment level statistic. Though the market is unpredict able at this point in time, there is no reason to throw in the towel and wait on the sidelines. When you are comparing weekover-week statistics, look for trends not just reversals. By following these basic indicators, you will be able to formulate your own expectations of where the general market may be heading in the near future. A movement can be considered a trend after three to four weeks of One indicator is unemployment claims that are released weekly by the Department of Labor. There is money to be had; you just have to know how to approach the markets. the same direction move. Going forward, the key is spotting a trend of more people landing jobs and fewer people applying for unemployment benefits. The U.S. is currently looking at the highest number of unsold homes it has ever seen, about 12.5 months' worth of supply. Once we see existing homes being bought up, then we can anticipate the addition of new homes to the market as the demand for homes will eventually exceed supply. These vacant homes need to be bought up before the market can recover. Housing inventories give investors the number of existing unsold homes in the marketplace. This will reinvigorate the housing markets. The VIX is the barometer of implied volatility of S&P 500 index options. The S&P 500 is used as the default market by professional investors because of the diversity that the S&P illustrates with its 500 companies compared to the DOW, which tracks only 30 companies. The meaning and mathematics behind the VIX are quite simple. You must first understand that the VIX is an annualized number; so we can infer that by dividing the current VIX LEVEL of 23 (recalculate every second during a trading session) by the square root of 12 (months in a year) that the market expects the S&P 500 to move up or down 6.64 percent over the next 30-day period. 23/ $ \sqrt{1 2} $ months = 6.64 percent volatility over the next 30 day period. Use the VIX as a measure of when to enter and exit the markets based upon your appetite for risk. The lower the VIX, the less risky the perception of the market is. We may be in a period of extreme uncertainty, but the use of basic economic and stock market indicators are necessary when trying to navigate these rough seas. There are many indicators to look to, but these three should give you a foundation as you enter the market. —From UWIRE.

FREE SPEECH Even Fred Phelps'hateful speech must be protected A few weeks ago, a federal judge in Missouri ruled that it is unconstitutional for the government to limit protests near funerals. Yes, our favorite Topekans, of the infamy. This ruling strikes down a Missouri law from a few years ago. The suit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, on behalf of — saywhat? — the Westboro Baptist Church. The key to winning in this court case was the freedom of speech cemented in our Constitution. Obviously, the First Amendment says that we may say what we like, just no slander or libel. This means that Fred Phelps and his clan may say as they like, no matter how despicable it is. And as strange as it seems, I believe the ACLU was right to fight for them. Sometimes the right decision is not always the most popular decision. It also means that criticism, and more importantly, critical dialogue, is protected. With this critical dialogue we learn from Westboro. What is wrong with this church? Who are they appealing to, and why? Are these problems solely within Westboro Baptist or are there insidious, subtler issues we must address across many churches? With a discussion on this, such things as certain religious fundamentalism and homophobia, among others, can be examined, and we can figure out and study how the ideas as a whole affect people and what can be done about it -what can be done to decrease the negative experiences of people who are hurt by these things. Criticism and disagreement foster conversation. Conversation leads to growth. Progressive Perspective Also, the right for counterprotesters to do their thing isprotected. That too is important, not only because I personally often find counter-protesters dreadfully funny, but because difference of opinion is necessary for a democracy. Some counter-protests can be 10375698492107 BY ALI FREE afree@kansan.com We must use our disagreement, and turn it productive. especially productive, such as when it involves someone such as Daniel Held, a junior from Seattle, who at last semester's Brown Bag Drag raised more than one thousand dollars for Planned Parenthood, while across the street the Westboro gang fruitlessly demonstrated their hate. The country has the opportunity now with the Dr. Laura debacle, who recently went on an on-air tirade which included repeated uses of the n-word. Is this going to spur on that fabled discussion on race that, as Kansas columnist D.M. Scott pointed out a while ago, we sorely need but haven't yet had? I don't know. Maybe not among the country as a whole, but even now it is still fanning the flames and getting more people involved. If you have the freedom of speech,you also have the responsibility to be accountable for what you say. Yes, you can say offensive things and spout empty rhetoric to your heart's content, but back it up or admit that you can't. Speakers have this responsibility to their What I find most disturbing about this situation is not the tirade itself, but the fact of Sarah Palin and Dr. Laura complaining that her first amendment rights were violated by the storm of condemnation that followed her tirade. Democracy needs freedom of speech so people can learn about other ideas, criticize those ideas and pick the better ones to move on with.

Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com "Though we should be careful not to let our perceptions of a nation-state define our view towards a group of people, I think that the common attitude towards China as a potential threat is absolutely warranted considering the way the government manipulates currency as policy, spies on us and develops weapons explicitly designed to counter our forces in the Pacific. China has a hostile military relationship with us already given the Taiwan situation.

"Our goal this year on campus is to blow everyone away," Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel said. KU students crafted their own shofars, a Jewish horn traditionally made from a ram's horn, during Chabad's Shofar Factory on Wescoe Beach Tuesday in preparation for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which lasts from Wednesday evening until Friday. Daniel Held, a junior from Seattle, was one of the first to create his own shofar. To create his horn, Held inserted a metal wire into his ram horn to see how hollow the horn was. Then, he sawed the end of the horn to create a small hole. Next, he attempted to drill into the horn to make the hole bigger, but his failing power tool made the task a difficult one. "You're supposed to put a lot pressure on it to widen the hole," Held said. "Unlike what happened with mine." God and the New Year." Tiechtel said the specific size or sound of the Shofar is not nearly as important as what blowing into the Shofar represents. Tiechtel said making and blowing the Shofars is only one of the traditions of Rosh Hashanah. Sweet foods, such as honey or apples, are eaten during the festivities as well. "Many times when you have something deep in your heart that you want to express,you can't find the right words to say it, so you just let out a cry." "Many times when you have something deep in your heart that you want to express, you can't always find the right words to say it, so you just let out a cry," Tiechtel said. "That's what it represents — when you stand before ZALMAN TIECHTEL Rabbi tion. "We eat them, because we want to ask God for a sweet New Year," Tiechtel said. Thursday afternoon students will perform, Tashlich, which is another longstanding tradi- This is where they will go to the lake and symbolically throw their sins from the past year into the water of Potter Lake. "Some people throw in bread, some throw in their friends." Tiechtel said with a laugh. Tiechtel said one of his goals during Rosh Hashanah is to make students who cannot be at home during the holiday feel as comfortable as possible. Meghan Stein, a sophomore from Irvine, Calif., said having friends she can celebrate the New Year with at the University makes her feel more at home. "Since I'm halfway across the country from where I usually am, I'm really lucky to be around people that love me," Stein said.

HEALTH Call center fights suicide in Lawrence BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com Ten people committed suicide in Douglas County during the first five months of 2010, according to the coroner's office. Headquarters Counseling Center, at the corners of Eighth and Rhode Island streets, provides five phone lines and a welcoming environment for anyone who may be contemplating suicide. Marcia Epstein has worked at Headquarters since 1975 when she began volunteering during her sophomore year at the University. This week is suicide prevention week and Headquarters are teaming up with Lawrence Memorial Hospital to help Lawrence residents learn how to prevent suicide. Epstein has been the director of Headquarters since 1979. She said, this week is not only about awareness, but also action. "It doesn't do any good to say, Suicide is a problem," Epstein said. "We need to say, 'Here's what you can do.'" During the interview, Epstein grasped her phone, waiting for a text. She was counseling a KU student who feared for the life of his friend. Epstein said Headquarters received 50 to 60 calls a day, 10 to 15 of which are people or the friends of people who are at risk of committing suicide. Because of the confidential nature of their jobs, Adam and Chris, Headquarters volunteers, have requested The Kansan not use their last names. Chris, a senior from Topeka, said that people often can call the center to find out about things such as free clothing, homeless shelters, mental health services, help with bills and rape or domestic violence. "Sometimes I get people so jacked up, or emotional, that I don't have a chance to say anything for the first 15 minutes," Chris said. "I do a lot of ah-has and um-hums to let them know I'm listening. But then you don't just say everything's going to be hunky-dory, you actually listen to them." Adam, a senior from Brookville, said he's noticed recently that a lot of calls come from recent graduates or middle-aged people who are having trouble finding a job or struggling with their finances. Epstein said the center probably. didn't get enough calls from KU students and recent graduates considering the stress they're under. She said she believed that technology was part of the problem. neadquarters is filling out applications for funding to provide Internet counseling and text counseling, because that is how students reach out to each other and because this method of communication has worked in national studies. Epstein is using her own cell phone and money to provide counseling to the aforementioned KU student in need. She said she hoped that soon the center would be able to afford a more secure form of communication. But the center doesn't just need new technology; it needs new people. Epstein said the center has far fewer volunteers than they had 20 years ago, and it's declining. "It's because of a new social-cultural attitude," Epstein said. "People are more self-focused and less community-focused. Centers like ours are closing around the country." Chris said volunteers need to have the ability to listen and to have an open mind, because often calls come in from people who are confused about their sexuality or are pregnant and don't know what to do. "Some call because it's their only outlet for human support or human connection," Chris said. "They might not necessarily be suicidal, they just have no one to talk to. These people just want to know that someone recognizes they have problems." Call 1-800-784-2433 or 1-800-273-8255 if you or someone you know needs to talk. — Edited by Michael Bednar Headquarters Counseling Center provides these tips when someone you know shows signs of being suicidal -Listen and show you care. -Ask the question, "Are you thinking about suicide?" -Find someone to be with the person and someone trained in suicide prevention to help. -Eliminate access to firearms, large amounts of medications and other dangers. -Never keep a secret about suicide ask listen solve YOUR MONEY ON CAMPUS.

WWW.KANSAN.COM TRADING PLACES PAGE 1B Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN 2 Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb throws down the field in the fourth quarter. Webb was put in the game in the fourth quarter, but the Jayhawks fell 6-3 to the Bison Saturday evening. Gill chooses Webb to start Saturday, Pick disappointed BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway After being named the backup just three weeks ago, freshman quarterback Jordan Webb will start the second game of the season this Saturday against Georgia Tech at Memorial Stadium. Coach Turner Gill ended four days of speculation Wednesday, naming Webb the starter for the team's match with the No. 15 Yellow jackets. However, we have not seen the last of sophomore quarterback Kale Pick. "We believe right now is the best time to have Jordan go, and we're going to give him a chance to see what he can do in game action." Gill said. On Aug. 19, Gill announced Pick won the starting job. But after a shaky performance against North Dakota State in a 6-3 loss last Saturday, he decided the freshman from Union, Mo. was the right man for the job. "Obviously I'm excited." Webb said. "It's what I've wanted all along. It's what everyone wants, to be the starter. I hope it's something I can run with." Webb replaced Pick early in the fourth quarter against North Dakota State with the game on the line. Perhaps the coaching staff's decision during crunch time last Saturday was an indication of things to come. Losing the initial starting battle frustrated Webb, but it also motivated him. The coaching staff hopes that resiliency translates to the field against Georgia Tech. "I got beat out for a spot," Webb said. "If that doesn't motivate you, nothing will." Actually starting the game will be advantageous for Webb, who said there is a huge difference between preparing as a starter and coming in as a substitution. Webb finished Saturday's game 6-for-11, netting 59 yards. One area of concern is Webb's mobility — he was sacked twice in less than 12 minutes of game time. "When you come in the fourth quarter, you're cold," Webb said. "You just get a few minutes and you go in. If you're starting, you get in the flow of a game and you get your reads down." Pick finished 13-for-22 with 138 yards, but an ill-timed interception in the North Dakota State endzone may have cost him his job. He was frustrated after the decision was made Wednesday, but Gill feels comfortable knowing Pick's anger comes from a good place — his intense passion to help the team and be the squad's leader. "He's disappointed, not happy about it, but in some aspects that's a good thing," Gill said. "I hope a person is not happy when he's not playing. That's a competitor, and I know Kale is a competitor. He wants to play and he thinks he's the best guy for it, and that's a great thing." Gill still sees playing time in Pick's pick, perhaps as soon as this Saturday, as he needs both his quarterbacks on their toes and ready to step in if needed. "I'm not going to say he'll come in at this particular time, but I will say there is a good chance he will get some playing time," Gill said. Edited by Clark Goble COMMENTARY Athletes juggle the right and wrong n a time when media and fans are their harshest critics, college athletics programs are under serious pressure, which can amount to breaking points with sobering consequences. From steroids to invalid ACT scores, who is to blame? Well, lately it's been the coaches for bringing in unruly players or athletic directors for not keeping a better eye on their programs. But deep down I think that, while the administrators may be keeping a watchful eye, the fault can be put on the student-athletes. If this weren't the case, Bill Self wouldn't have to continue awkwardly answering questions about when freshman Josh Selby will be cleared to play. There are stories across the nation of athletes behaving badly, even ruining the reputations of their schools. The perfect example of late is the Heisman Trophy Trust potentially taking back former University of Southern California running back Reggie Bush's 2005 Heisman Trophy. After an investigation into the USC football program, it was found that Bush had accepted improper benefits and was even, in fact, ineligible to play his award-winning season. The Trojans are now looking at four years of probation, a two-year bowl ban and a reduction in football scholarships. One of the common arguments regarding these issues is that the athletes are 18. They're young and naive, making them possibly more vulnerable in controversial situations, especially when money is fanned in their faces. But if this is true, then why are there so many athletes not giving into temptation? Jayhawk Nation had a laugh when it turned out that Derrick Rose from Memphis had an invalidated SAT score a month YUAN HONG JIA BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com after Kansas beat Memphis for the 2008 National Championship. The school was stripped of its national championship appearance and was quickly abandoned by then-coach John Calipari. And the University doesn't exactly have a clean slate either. From Selby to accusations that former forward Darrell Arthur had grades changed for him in high school. Unless you know everything about a program, you can't possibly know their dirt little secrets. Amid the drama and suspicion surrounding the sudden resignation of Lew Perkins, I wonder what more there is to this story so close to home. I wish to focus on the positives he brought to this campus He was indeed athletics director for a Jayhawk NCAA National Championship in 2007 and an Orange Bowl appearance in 2008, not to mention signing a ten-year contract with coach Bill Self. Q. Kansas has gladly been known as a traditional team. There have always been Kansas natives on the team for as far back as I've been following the school. And it wasn't until last year that Self bad his first one-and-done player, Xavier Henry. I am proud of the integrity of the athletes and I hope they keep it up. The college system does not ruin players; it's the narrow desires of fame and fortune they seek before their due time. Edited by Leslie Kinsman Prison ball is a dodgeball based game with a few minor changes that make the game a little different. CLUB SPORTS "It's fast paced. It's crazy," two-year prison ball veteran Mike Pitt said. The balls fly on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. at the Amber Student Recreation Fitness Center on the indoor soccer court. The Prison Ball Club began in 2008, and has seen steady growth since the club's inaugural season. McGonigle estimates that an average of 35 people show up each week. Around 200 different people will show up at least once during a semester. Prison Ball Club recognizes steady increase in members, interest in dodgeball-like game What do you get when you mix 35 to 40 college students with 25 light, round and red rubber balls? A high-intensity fast-paced game known as prison ball. BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com To start a game, two teams take the court splitting it down the middle. Basic dodgeball rules apply except for one change: If players get hit, they aren't out of the game. Instead, they go to a jail located in the opponents goal. The way to get out of jail is to catch a ball thrown from the far side of the court by a teammate. The tweaks in the rules make it a quicker game. "It's more of a continuous dodgeball game," club president Miles McGonigle said. "Generally people have more fun with it." Prison ball is a game in which players must be aware. They have to constantly be on the lookout for balls that end up near all areas of the body. Everyone has their favorite shot, and McGonigle is no different. "When you hit someone right in the chest, and it makes that hollow "thump!" sound, you know you got that guy really good," McGonigle said. Prison ball regular Joe Bond said that the first time you play can often be the most intense. He said he knows from experience. "This huge kid just rocked me in the face, and I was like, "Oh my God, that was awesome"; Bond said. Although face shots are a part of the game, the players try to keep everything friendly. Before the competitors take the court for the first time McGonigle requests that no one intentionally aims for anyone's face. "For the most part, it's all about coming out, having fun and enjoying the sport," McGonigle said. Just about everyone has experienced dodgeball in their middle or high school gym class, and McGonigle feels that this isn't much different. "It's gym class but at a college level." he said. The regulars love the game and are convinced that if anyone comes to try it once, they will be hooked. McGonigle and Bond have made friends through playing. Each player really seems to look forward for those two hours on Wednesday nights where they can put their troubles and homework aside and focus on not getting hit. "It's the pinnacle of my week." Pitt said. Edited by Clark Goble BASKETBALL Adam Bubler/KANSAN n Wednesdays Adam Buther/KANSAN Zack Harding, freshman from West Des Moines, takes aim and flings a dodgeball at an opponent.

They've invented such elaborate goal celebrations as a human toilet, a Rambo re-enactment, and (my personal favorite) a forward giving birth to a soccer ball. We're not talking amateur, Terrell-Owens-with-a-sharpie-in-his-sock sort of stuff. This is high-quality, well-choreographed, on-field sports theater at its finest. Stjarnan's elaborate post-goal performances have earned hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and even a spot on ESPN's weekly Top 10 plays. (1) Stiarnan isn't the most talented team around. In fact, they're currently the seventh-best team in Iceland's mediocre professional soccer league. But that's not important. This team is leaving its mark on the sports world because some eccentric player had the brilliant idea to spend less time practicing actual soccer and more time designing mini-skits to perform on the rare occasion that his team puts the ball in the net. There's no denying it has paid off. BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com There is no denying it has paid off. After all, can I name one player from the entire Icelandic league? No. Do I have Stjarnan's human fish celebration memorized? Of course. They may be the most popular group of soccer players Iceland has ever produced. Here's where the Jayhawks could learn a few things. Stjarnan's inventiveness, creativity, and knack for mining skyrocketed the team's entertainment value far beyond soccer's average appeal. They know they're not in the running for a Urvaldsdeild championship (the catchy name of Iceland's professional soccer league), but that's not going to keep them from entertaining the dedicated Icelanders who show up to their games. I'm not saying the Jayhawks are a terrible football team. I sincerely hope Kansas can turn this season around and pull off some wins before it finds itself trapped in the Big 12 North's cellar. But a 6-3 loss to an FCS school from Fargo just doesn't inspire confidence that this will be a wildly successful season. If this year's team wants to become a consistent future on Sports Center – and, let's be honest, if that's not your top priority, why are you playing sports in the first place? – then they may just have to follow Stjarnan's lead and start drawing up some THE MORNING BREW show-stopping touchdown celebrations. It doesn't have to be anything fancy at first; they could even borrow from the Icelanders' vast repertoire of celebrations. I haven't even mentioned the parade, the human bicycle or the soccer-field-breast-stroke celebration that they performed. Eventually, though, it'd be nice to see some Kansas original celebrations. Maybe some wheat harvesting or some homage to the state bird. The sky's the limit. With their athleticism, I'd expect to see something even surpassing Stjarnan, like a human Kansas twister. If touchdowns continue to be a scarcity, we could even settle for elaborate field goal celebrations. I would love nothing more than seeing Jacob Branstetter become an internet sensation for a dramatic postfield goal performance.

It's very difficult to forget this kind of game, but we have to pulled up from straightaway well beyond the arc. try to forget everything that happened tonight because in two days we will play in the semifinals," Teodori said. The Spaniards couldn't get a final shot off, with Jorge Garbajosa losing the ball after a timeout. Serbia's players celebrated at midcourt as Spain's Sergio Llull kicked the ball deep into the stands. "He's a great player and he has a great feeling for the big shot." Spain coach Sergio Scioriola said. Velickovic scored 17 points apiece for Serbia, while Dusko Savanovic added 15. The Serbians were 15 of 30 from 3-point range, exploiting the zone seemingly every time Spain used it. "We were not able to stop them on the long shots," Spain guard Juan Carlos Navarro said.

Freshman Caroline Jarmoc, a 6-foot-2 middle blocker, is not the most vocal of the Jayhawks. However her solid coverage and powerful attacks did not go unnoticed against Middle Tennessee State Tuesday. Collecting five kills and accomplishing a team-high attack percentage of .273, sweet Caroline was not so sweet. Although the outcome of the game was not in the Jayhawks' favor, the team never quit battling through the three-game series. They just missed the mark with scores of 25-19, 25-15 and 25-19. back and take on the next opponent. The Jayhawks are ready to bounce "Two games in one day, one game in one day, just get us on the court," said junior Allison Mayfield, a 6-foot-1 outside hitter. Senior Karina Garlington, a 6-foot outside hitter, favors the double header. "I like the two in one. I like to get going and get momentum and power through the tournament," Garlington said. "I am excited that we have two on Friday and one on Saturday. I think it is going to be a good turn-out." Time to turn over a new leaf and, with renewed enthusiasm, meet each new game with no remembrance of the last. "Last week is over, and this week we have to get better," coach Ray Bechard said.

KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS BELLEIL HANDELL 9 KANSAS 5 Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Edited by Lisa Curran Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Freshman setter Kara Kehrs and Sophomore middle blocker Tayle Tolefree attempt a block Tuesday against Middle Tennessee State. NCAA Coaches reticent over player's past MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LEXINGTON, Ky. — Although Enes Kanter exhibited remarkable basketball ability, high school powerhouse Oak Hill Academy and two other schools passed on the chance of having him play for their teams. Two of the coaches said Wednesday that Kanter's association with a professional team in his native Turkey was the reason. Oak Hill Academy Coach Steve Smith said that playing with a professional team made Kanter a risk. Michael Peck, the coach at Findlay Prep, said he feared a public relations problem with having a professional player on the team. "I've been here 26 years," Smith said. "I try to do things the right way. I felt it would be perceived wrong. His age was right. He's a heck of a player. But I didn't want to do anything to jeopardize the program." "Kevin Durant is not going to play for some high school now," Peck said. Neither Smith nor Peck said he had any knowledge of Kanter being paid or receiving any compensation when playing for the Istanbul-based team Fenerbahce Ulker. A story in The New York Times Wednesday quoted Fenerbahce Ulker general manager Nedim Karakas as saying Kanter and his family received between $100,000 and $150,000 over a three-year period. Fenerbahce Ulker officials have shared housing and bank records with the NCAA, The New York Times reported. The NCAA's Eligibility Center is reviewing Kanter's amateur status to determine whether he should be ruled eligible to play for Kentucky this coming season. The university has declined com m ent except to say it supported Kanter and his family as the player waits to see if the NCAA Eligibility Center rules him eligible. The New argument, Smith and Peck perceived Kanter as a professional player, and therefore not suitable for a high school team. "He's a heck of a player. But I didn't want to do anything to jeopardize the program." Smith was contacted in the spring of 2009 about Kanter playing for Oak Hill Academy. In checking Kanter's background, Smith said one of his former players, Brandon Jennings, said he played against the Turkish big man in the European league. York Times story noted that Fenerbahce Ulker had reason to thwart Kanter's efforts to play for Kentucky. The Turkish team would receive a transfer fee if Kanter plays in Europe this coming season. If Kanter plays for UK, the Turkish team would receive no compensation. Whatever the validity of that Max Ergul, a man who acted as an adviser to Kanter, likened the player's time with Fenerbahce Ulker to a U.S. prospect attending a prep school, where tuition and costs can reach six figures in a period of two or three years. STEVE SMITH Oak Hill Academy coach "I never knew a player in the Euro league that didn't get paid," said Smith, who added a moment later. "I can't see a team playing him and not having a contract. Hed jump ship on you. I'm 99 percent sure I was told he had a contract but was not paid. When considering adding players, Smith said he will sometimes consult with the Virginia High School Athletic Association even though his school is not bound by its guidelines. Oak Hill Academy is in Mouth of Wilson, Va. But the Kanter case seemed clear enough to Smith that he did not seek help in the decision. "As a high school coach, it didn't matter if he was paid or not. I just felt the kid played pro ball in Europe. He couldn't come over here and play high school basketball." Kanter's next stop was Findlay Prep, the school in the Las Vegas area that produced UK wing DeAndre Liggins. After two weeks, Peck decided Kanter could not play for his team. "Our deal was it was a perception issue," Peck said. "We just felt, from the program and school standpoint, we couldn't withstand the potential of a negative perception that would have come with that." Such a "negative perception" would come from the team using a professional player. "Obviously, that's a no-no," Peck said. "In high school, even the college level, you're dealing with amateurs." From Findlay Prep, Kanter went to Mountain State Prep in Beckley, W.Va. Then-Mountain State Coach Rodney Crawford, newly hired as an assistant at Duquesne, declined comment through a spokesman. On his fourth try, Kanter found a U.S. basketball home at Stoneridge Prep in Simi Valley, Calif. While not having to deal with a potential perception problem, Peck said that Findlay Prep also had to do without a standout player. "Very talented." Peck said of Kanter. "I mean, hands down, very extremely talented. ... "He's a difference maker." FOOTBALL Gill puts Hatch back at center for Saturday BY MAX VOSBURGH mvosburgh@kansan.com Junior lineman Jeremiah Hatch will take over at center for redshirt freshman quarterback Jordan Webb's first start this Saturday against Georgia Tech. Hatch had started 24 straight games, the most of any current player, before he was kept out of last week's game in favor of senior lineman Sal Capra. Hatch and Webb will team up this week after both were forced to watch most of the game from the bench last Saturday against North Dakota State. "We spoke on Sunday and a little bit on Tuesday and he expressed that it was difficult for him to stand on the sideline there and watch his teammates play," Webb said. "But he understood what the situation was and he's prepared to go out and play this week." Webb will be making his first collegiate start under the experienced Hatch. "I'm definitely comfortable with Hatch at center," Webb said. "He's a good offensive lineman. He's going to definitely give us a chance to be special on the offensive line." Senior lineman Sal Capra, who started at center last week, will make the transition over to left guard, replacing sophomore Duane Zlatnik. Capra, a team captain, recognizes the value Hatch has to this team's offensive line. "He's certainly got a lot of experience in there," Capra said, "He's a guy who's got a lot of passion." Hatch has had a very productive career at Kansas so far. He started every game at tackle his freshman year and was moved to center last year, but he wasn't ready to take over at the beginning of this season. "He was just not prepared to play as far as we coaches evaluated him throughout the preseason camp," coach Turner Gill said. However, like Webb, Hatch was able to able to prove he had made enough progress that he was ready to start this week. "He's progressed continually for us the last two to three weeks;" Gill said. "We believe that he's prepared to go out and give the best effort and give us the best chance to be successful." Hatch approached Webb expressing his desire to make a difference in an offense that failed to score a touchdown last week. "He's hungry. He's real hungry," Webb said. "He told me Saturday after the game, 'Man Jordan, I'm hurting, I want to be out there.' I said, 'I know, Hatch, me too.' MLB - Edited by Clark Goble Brewers conquer ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE — Ryan Braun hit a three-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers roughed up St. Louis rookie Jaime Garcia in an 8-1 win Wednesday night that kept the slumping Cardinals from gaining ground in the postseason chase. Albert Pujols hit his 36th homer in the first for the Cardinals, but that was the only run Chris Capuano (3-3) allowed over seven innings. Garcia (13-7) had been looking for his fourth straight win. Instead, he gave up a career-high seven runs as his ERA rose to 2.69. The Cardinals began the day six games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central. The Reds played later at Colorado. St. Louis has fallen flat chasing the Reds, losing 11 of the last 15 with 25 games to go. In those four wins, Garcia had three of them with an 0.86 ERA in the span. The 24-year-old left-hander was again expected to be the stopper, but after the second inning, it was clear he didn't have his best stuff and was gone after the fourth. Capuano scattered four hits in his longest outing since 2007. All of Milwaukee's runs came with two outs. Braun tied it in the third with a single and Milwaukee scored two more on Casey McGehee's single. After Corey Hart's RBI single in the fourth made it 4-1, Braun homered. Braun has been sizzling down the stretch and his fourth-inning drive carried just beyond the reach of Colby Rasmus at the left-center field wall. Braun joined teammates Prince Fielder (30), Hart (27), Rickie Weeks (26) and McGehee (20) with at least 20 homers. MLB Wakefield scores win for Red Sox ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Tim Wakefield became the oldest pitcher to win for Boston, and the Red Sox backed their 44-year-old knuckleballer with five home runs Wednesday night to rough up the Tampa Bay Rays 11-5. Marco Scutaro hit two homers and Adrian Beltre, David Ortiz and Victor Martinez also connected as warm temperatures on a late-summer night helped the ball carry out of Fenway Park. Wakefield (4-10) surpassed Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley, who was 43 when he got his last win for the Red Sox. Four of the shots came off Matt Garza (14-8). The Rays dropped to 2½ games behind the AL. East-leading Yankees. Boston is nine behind New York. Wakefield allowed five runs on six hits and four walks in five innings. B.J. Upton hit a three-run homer for Tampa Bay. Martinez tied it with a leadoff homer into the back of the Red Sox bullpen. Ryan Kalish greeted reliever Chad Qualls with a go-ahead double off the left-field wall, a ball Carl Crawford might've caught if he hadn't pulled up and played the carom. Kalish scored when third baseman Evan Longoria bounced a throw to first for an error. Ahead 4-0 early, the Rays let Boston tie it through three innings. Jason Bartlett's RBI single in the fourth put Tampa Bay in front, but the Red Sox took the lead 7-5 and chased Garza with a three-run fifth. Garza gave up nine hits and six Martinez's RBI single off reliever Randy Chote made it 8-5 in the sixth. Scutaro's second homer, his career-high tying fourth hit, made it 11-5 against Grant Balfour in the seventh. runs in 4 1-3 innings. He came in with a 3-0 with a 0.99 ERA in his last four starts. The Red Sox tied it by scoring two runs in both the second and third. Beltre homered into the Monster seats after Ortiz walked, cutting it to 4-2 in the second. Longoria's sacrifice fly had put the Rays ahead 1-0 in the first. They increased it to 4-0 in the second on Upton's homer. Scutaro and Ortiz each hit solo shots into the left-field seats in the third. Boston's Lars Anderson got his first two major league hits, both singles, and drove in a run.

After sitting out the first two games, she returned to the field this weekend. Cressy returns following absence BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com The leading scorer from one year often plays a valuable role in the next. For the Jayhawks, junior forward Emily Cressy finally has the opportunity to play this year. Cressy returned over the weekend after sitting out the first two games for an undisclosed reason. Although she was eager to get back on the field, sitting on the bench did offer a different viewpoint than playing. "When I'm on the field I'm so into the game, we don't realize you take yourself away from the field and realize what is going on," Cressy said. "The whole week last week I was hoping I could travel and I was really excited when I found out I could go," Cressy said. "When I put on the jersey to go on the field I was just so excited." Cressy led the team last year with 12 goals, the second most in women's soccer history at the University of Kansas. She scored her first goal of the year in Sunday's game against Illinois State, the lone goal that the Jayhawks had in a 2-1 loss. Cressy played all 90 minutes against Northwestern and Illinois State, on Friday and Sunday respectively. "I just worked hard the whole entire game and did whatever I could to help us win." Cressy said. Fellow forward Kaitlin Cunningham, a senior, labeled Cressy as a goal scorer, but also recognized the effect she could have on others. "To be able to have her out there is either creating chances for herself, or she is helping the other people on the field to create chances Coach Mark Francis saw good things from Cressy's first action this weekend. for them," Cunningham said. "She has a lot of confidence and a lot of composure on the ball," Francis said. "I think it's something we really needed up front." In Cressy's eyes, the team's goal is to win the Big 12 Championship, and she wants to help her teammates in reaching that goal. "I want to be the one to push everyone to the best of their abilities." Cressy said. Edited by Lisa Curran Howard's six-RBI night leads Phillies to a victory ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Howard homered and had six RBIs and the Philadelphia Phillies backed Cole Hamels with a rare burst of the run support he had been missing most of the season in a 10-6 win over the Florida Marlins on Wednesday night. Howard hit his 28th homer of the season and the NL East-leading Phillies had a season-high 18 hits. streak to 25. He struck out five and won his third straight start. Hamels (10-10) tossed four-hit ball over seven innings and extended his consecutive scoreless innings His record would be well over .500 if not for receiving the fourthlowest run support (3.18 runs per start) of any starter this season entering the game. He got plenty in Philadelphia's third straight win. Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins left with tightness in his right hamstring. He is day-to-day. Gaby Sanchez hit a three-run homer for the Marlins as part of a six-run eighth of Nate Robertson. Swisher walk-off carries Yankees MLB NEW YORK — Minus their star catcher, the New York Yankees waited at home plate in a merry pack of pinstripes as Nick Swisher circled the bases following his game-winning home run. ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB Jorge Posada was missing but he could be back soon. Swisher hit a two-run homer off Koji Uehara in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday to give New York a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles that was soon tempered by news of Posada's aching head. footowing the game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi revealed that Posada felt concussion symptoms Tuesday night after getting hit by a foul ball. The switch-hitting slugger sat out Wednesday and was sent to New York-Presbyterian Hospital during the game to see a neurology specialist. "Obviously, it's a concern," Swisher said. A little while later, the Yankees announced tests came back negative and Posada was cleared to play. He is day to day and is expected to travel with the team on its upcoming road trip. "He's a big part of our ballclub and hopefully he'll be back in the lineup in a couple of days." Yankees outfieldier Brett Gardner said before the results were announced. Losing Posada would be a major blow to the AL East leaders, trying to repeat as World Series champions. Several big league stars have been sidelined by concussions for extended stretches this season, including Minnesota slugger Justin Morneau and New York Mets outfielder Jason Bay. With the Orioles closing in on their first three-game sweep in the Bronx since 1986, Alex Rodriguez opened the ninth with a single on the first pitch from Uehara (1-1). Robinson Cano flied out and Swisher, hobbled by a stiff left knee, drove a 2-0 pitch to the opposite field and into the Baltimore bulpen in left-center. It was Swisher's 26th home run of the season and his third career game-ending shot. The previous one came exactly a year before, against Tampa Bay's Dan Wheeler. "I guess it's my day" Swisher said. "It a monster won for us." Swisher began the day in an 0-for-14 slide before getting two hits. He raised his arms as he rounded first base in the ninth and tossed his helmet high in the air as he approached a mob of jubilant teammates waiting for him at home plate. Moments later, Swisher took the familiar whipped cream pie in the face from pitcher A.J. Burnett. "Was the whipped cream fresh? They hadn't done it in a while," Girardi said. Matt Wieters hit a tworun homer and Brad Bergesen pitched 61-3 impressive innings for Baltimore. The resurgent Orioles, with the worst record in the AL but gaining fast on Seattle, fell just short of their first five-game winning streak since June 2009. They are 21-14 under Buck Showalter, who managed the Yankees from 1992-95. I'm proud of our guys. This one stings a bit right now, but you can't think of what could've been," Showalter said. New York got a solid start from rookie Ivan Nova and ended a three-game skid that followed a season-best eight-game winning streak. The Yankees are the only team in the majors without a four-game losing streak this year. New York has never been on the wrong end of a three-game sweep in its new stadium, which opened last season. The only time the Yankees were swept this year was in a two-game series May 19-20 against Tampa Bay. "That was the one thing I didn't want to give up — a home run," Uehara said through a translator. "I'm not feeling good about it." Joba Chamberlain (3-4) struck out two in a hitless ninth. Slumping shortstop Derek Jeter went 0 for 4 with a throwing error, dropping his batting average to .262. Playing before an unusually sparse crowd, the Yankees finished 7-3 on their longest homestand of the season. They were 4-3 during a seven-game stretch that included six day games. New York has 22 games remaining, 15 on the road. With the Orioles trailing 1-0, Adam Jones beat out an infield single to open the fifth. Turned loose on 3-0. Wieters hit an opposite-field drive that sailed wind-aided deep into the left-field stands. Bergesen held the Yankees to three hits through six innings. Curtis Granderson drew a leadoff walk in the third and stole second base. He scored from third on a one-out double to left by Gardner, who was cut down trying to stretch it into a triple. Felix Pie started a crisp relay.

England got its second win in as many games when Rooney opened the scoring in a 3-1 victory in Switzerland. The important win for Rooney, and manager Fabio Capello, came amid newspaper allegations since Sunday against the Manchester United hero. "Wayne Rooney still has serious domestic issues to address but at least he returns home with the admiration of England's players and supporters for a pedigree display of discipline and dynamism capped by a hugely significant goal," said The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday. France won 2-0 in Bosnia-Herzegovina to restore some morale after a winless World Cup While France redeemed itself, Portugal must be concerned after a 4-4 draw with Cyprus was followed by a 1-0 defeat in Norway in the absence of star Cristiano Ronaldo (injury) and coach Carlos Queiroz (suspension for insulting doping controllers before the World Cup). exit and a 1-0 humbling by Belarus in the first qualifier last Friday. With only the group winners qualifying directly for the 2012 finals in Poland and Ukraine, Portugal find themselves in an early hole amid media speculation on Wednesday that Queiroz may be axed before the end of the week. "This soap opera must end as soon as possible. Of course the affair around Queiroz has a negative effect on us. And on the whole of Portugal," said midfielder Tiago The spicy details continued to pour in from the tabloids on Wednesday but manager Fabio Capello was happy for Rooney after the game. The Euro 2008 semi-finalists Russia were also licking their wounds after losing 1-0 at home to Slovakia and the Czech Republic had definitely hoped to start their campaign in a better than losing 1-0 at home against Lithuania. "Wayne Rooney played very well. He was okay (mentally) and scoring the goal helped too," said Capello. "The players want to play without other things on their minds." The so-called minnows are further catching up with the more established powers, with Scotland for instance only holding off tiny Liechtenstein 2-1 in the last minute. But Italy, Germany, World Cup runners-up Netherlands, Turkey, Sweden, Slovakia, Montenegro, Ireland and Norway joined England on a maximum six points from two games. Rooney scored his first England goal in a year as he seemingly managed to focus on the match and shook off the allegations that he had sex with a prostitute seven times last year while his wife Coleen was pregnant. League backs run wild on historic day ASSOCIATED PRESS STILLWATER, Okla. — The Big 12 is ready to run again. The pass-happy league that's been known in recent years for producing Heisman Trophy finalists at quarterback is now home to the nation's top three rushers. Oklahoma State's Kendall Hunter, Kansas State's Daniel Thomas and Oklahoma's DeMarco Murray pulled off a rare trifecta in the opening weekend of the season, becoming only the fifth trio in conference history to rush for 200 yards apiece on the same day. That hadn't happened in a dozen years in a conference that has lately become so passionate about passing. In fact, there had been only three 200-yard rushing performances total over the past two years — much less in the same day. Texas' Ricky Williams, Oklahoma's DeMond Parker and Kansas' David Winbush were the last Big 12 trio of 200-yard rushers, back on Oct. 24, 1998. It took until a group of top-notch quarterbacks including 2008 Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Chase Daniel and Graham Harrell cycled through the league for it to happen again. "That's natural." Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "I think you play to your strengths, and when you have guys like that, you play to them." And the Big 12's running resurgence isn't just the senior trio with the gaudy numbers. Freshman Taylor Martínez had 127 yards in a revival of the running quarterback at Nebraska, and Texas has committed to being more of a run-oriented team, although Week 1 didn't produce any big numbers. At Oklahoma State, the hiring of new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, a former Mike Leach assistant who created the nation's top passing offense last season at Houston, created visions of a four-receiver spread. That all changed this summer KANSAN FILE PHOTO when Holgorsen approached offensive line coach Joe Wickline with the idea of testing out a full house backfield. The Cowboys designed a new offensive formation with three running backs to feature Hunter, a third-team All-American in 2008 who missed most of last season with an ankle injury.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL 15 22 KANSAN FILE PHOTO Mizzou corner breaks out MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE COLUMBIA, Mo. — Easy as it was for Missouri senior cornerback Carl Gettis to recognize his performance Saturday against Illinois as the best of his volatile career, it didn't obscure his prompt recollection of the low point. That was last season's nationally televised debacle against Texas, a 41-7 loss in which TV coverage became fixated on Gettis jawjacking with defensive coordinator Dave Steckel. "They catch everything," said Gettis, managing a smile. What he called "an immature mistake" came after Steckel emphatically pointed out he was playing the wrong defensive scheme. and probably wouldn't now. Instead of accepting the fact he got the signal wrong, Gettis gave Steckel heat. Asked Monday whether his flak back reflected guts or stupidity, he said. "Stupidity is probably the better word. Not guts." Steckel was not available to comment Monday, but he said little about the episode last year "We're still close as can be," Gettis said last week. "It was a tough time for me, because everybody wanted to talk to me about the situation and what happened. But, honestly, it's made me a stronger person today." That seemed evident to Missouri coach Gary Pinkel even before Gettis' spree of big plays Saturday, most notably a twisting, one-handed interception that was Gettis' first since the 2008 season. "I think he's just on a mission, and I think you saw that," Pinkel said. "He wants to play at a whole different level than he's been." As cornerback counterpart Kevin Rutland put it: "He showed it's time to be a new Carl, and he played better than most people have ever seen him play." There are a few reasons for the apparent change in Gettis, whose start against McNeese State on Saturday will be his 39th in a row over four seasons but who acknowledges he "hidn't respond to the expectations like I wanted to" after cracking the lineup in the fifth game of his freshman year. Fairly or not, Gettis has come to be seen as representative of a secondary that was considered most responsible for a pass defense ranked 117th and 104th in the nation the past two seasons. "It's my last go-round," he said. "and we've really got a point to prove in the secondary, so I've been feeding off that." He's also been drawing off a new mental outlook encouraged and nurtured by outgoing Missouri track coach Rick McGuire, a leading figure in sports psychology. Gettis said he has worked with McGuire on "thinking the right thoughts" in terms of forgetting about plays gone awry, as well as on "how to keep my cool and certain times to just be quieter and listen." The issues exposed by his heckling of Steckel, in fact, seemed to lead Gettis to an openness about improving his mind-set. "I had to work on myself, physically and mentally," he said, "but I stand here today a better football player than a year ago." lemon bliss spa tanning | facials | body treatments | massage Keep that Summer glow!

This year the event will include a presentation by Westar Energy and a performance by "Eco Elvis." Photo courtesy of Kathy Richardson BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughtonkansan.com When Nick Benson discusses energy and power on Saturday, he won't be referring to the football team. Benson, a sophomore from Orlando, Fla., will miss Saturday's home game to volunteer at the 10th annual Lawrence Energy Conservation Fair. Benson is the coordinator for the Resource Conservation committee and is an officer in Environs, the student organization that promotes environmental awareness. "Most people just aren't aware how much they can conserve," Benson said. "We're hoping that through this fair, people who aren't aware of conservation will become aware and people who are aware will learn other ways that they can reduce further." The Energy Conservation Fair is hosted by the City of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling Division and will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the City of Lawrence Community Building, located at 115 W. 11th St. The fair will feature 40 exhibits and will also feature presentations, workshops and performances all related to energy conservation and education. Tickets will be required for the Sustainable Homes Tour, but admittance to the fair is free to the public. To show the benefits of public transportation, the Lawrence Transit System will also be offering free rides on the T all dav Saturday on all fixed routes. Kathy Richardson, the waste reduction and recycling operations supervisor, said in the past this event has grown to attract more than 600 attendees who enjoy learning from a variety of presenters including builders, architects, insulation experts, heating and cooling contractors, government agencies, non-firms and alternative fuel vehicle representatives. Jeffrey Severin, director for the center, said they would be trying to illustrate how the University is addressing energy in a variety of ways. Severin said that at the fair they would be looking at some of the research that is going on around campus through the Energy Council, through the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis and a variety of research centers on campus that focus on issues that either address renewable energy or energy consumption and climate change. The University's Center for Sustainability will present at the fair again this year speaking about conservation around campus. Severin said in the past these fairs have always provided a lot of great information to anyone interested. "Environmental issues always seem like such large challenges and somewhat overwhelming." Severin said. "Energy conservation is something that we can all easily do in our daily lives. Fairs like this really help put that into perspective." Eileen Horn, the sustainability coordinator for the city, said the fair provided a forum for people to come and learn about energy conservation, new energy technologies and ways to become more energy efficient.

I would run outside, sort through the letters and, most of the time, sigh heavily and walk back inside, disappointed that there wasn't an envelope with my name printed across the front. (News from the outside world was rare for my 8-year-old self.) But, on the rare occasion there was something for me, I squealed and ran inside to my room, ripping open the letter and hastily reading the scribbles of my Girl Scout camp pen pal, also named Anna. instead, later losing touch all together. Anna and I were best friends, even after only knowing each other for a week at camp. Writing letters back and forth felt personal, like we were part of some secret club that only communicated in Jane Austen-era simplicity. However, we spoke in a much less dignified manner. We talked about boys, horses, why we were angry with our parents that week and how we would be best friends forever. For a couple years after, Anna and I continued to write each other, but letters soon lost their appeal and we moved to email Despite my impatience to actually write letters, I still love receiving them. Receiving something tangible that I can add to a life-long collection of pen pal letters, notes from camp and little slips of paper telling me the latest grade school gossip is nostalgic in a way. While I was in New York this summer, I got a postcard from one of my best friends, filled with inside jokes and a short update of her life. So, of course, I wrote her back on a wonderfully tacky New York postcard. I felt like I was passing notes in sixth grade again. For more on hand-written letters, check out Molly's story on page 13, and don't be afraid to write a few of your own. I've decided to make an effort to get away from my technology-driven existence and write letters again. I mean, carpal tunnel is just as likely to occur when writing by hand as it is typing Facebook wall posts, right?

What can I do that will help keep my nerves down and impress the guy? T.A. A. You are your own worst enemy here. Don't force yourself into trying to like someone. If you guys hit it off, great, if not, no big deal, but keep this in mind — the guy is more worried about what you think of him than what he thinks of you. I understand how uncomfortable first dates can be, but don't fear the awkward moments, just laugh and have fun with them. I recommend trying more action dates. An action date is where the two of you are letting the context of the date become the focal point. A typical action date might be bowling or taking a dance class. You bond through action instead of putting pressure on the conversation. And if you absolutely hate the guy, at least you got salsa lessons out of it, or a tour of a real cool brewery. One of my absolute favorite action dates is karaoke. There is nothing more attractive than an outgoing person brave enough to risk embarrassing themselves. Trust me, after you've belted out a little "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal, or "Believe" by Cher that initial nervousness will go right out the window. MIKE ANDERSON CATCH OF THE WEEK // JAMES MARC SMITH > Our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea. INTERESTS & HOBBIES: If someone asks you what your hobbies are, how do you answer them? I mean, if you go with sword fighting you're obviously a tool and just trying to impress them. And if you tell them the truth you come off as boring. I guess I just try to take in some quiet moments in life and be a person that no one is expecting. Also, I carve small Russian dolls out of soap. NOTICES FIRST IN A POTENTIAL PARTNER: I like a sense of awareness and vivaciousness — someone who looks and feels alive. That's what we want, is to feel alive ourselves as well as someone who recognizes that life in us. HOMETOWN: Dodge City MAJOR: English YEAR: Senior INTERESTED IN: Women TURN ONS: Women who are sure of themselves — girls who know what they want. And as far as the physical is concerned, I really appreciate a little hot breath and licking around the ears.. TURN OFFS: Stupidity. I mean, it's one thing to be attracted to someone's body, but enjoying someone's entire personality is a huge turn-on. WHY I M A CATCH: I'm huge, I'm strong. I smell nice and people like to be around me. Oh, and I am also an ordained minister. SARAH GREGORY IF YOU LIKE "GLEE," YOU'LL LOVE SAVED! Text KU to 24587 to get $5 OFF a full-priced ticket!

"I've always felt a bit weird about working on one piece to have it hang in a gallery where only a few visitors will see it," Kuluva says. "Working with prints means you can make unlimited amounts and people will see them." RANBAA Kuluva, a 2006 graduate who works under the moniker Leslie Kay, did her first print in high school but did not continue because it required a lot of equipment. She now separates her time between The Test Kitchen, 518 E 8th St., where she makes prints, and the Jackpot Music Hall, 943 Massachusetts St., where she helps book shows. Screen-printing allows Kulova to interact further with the local music scene. She helps make CD and album jackets for local bands including Spook Lights, This is My Condition and Colony Collapse. Beyond the screen, Leslie Kulaua, 2006 graduate, desired to try her hand at screen printing in high school. Her art is on wearable t-shirts instead of being displayed in a traditional museum setting. She enjoys mixing her love of music and art and takes part in the entire print-making process from consulting with customers to making the screens, mixing the ink, and ordering the shirts. The end product is exciting for Kuluva, who says that each print can come out differently. Those differences, she says, "show that the work was done by hand and by a person. It has its own personality. I love it." JON HERMES GET SOME CULTURE // WONDERFAIR > It's not all about fast food and beer pong. It would be easy to miss the Wonder Fair Gallery while walking downtown. The gallery, now located above the Burger Stand at 803% Massachusetts St., is a great venue for art lovers. The gallery is hosting "No One Knows How Deep This Goes," a month-long showing of work by Chicago artist Matthew Hoffman, who creates art under the pseudonym of Sighn. Lee Piechocki, a gallerist at Wonder Fair, says Hoffman has a background in graphic design and is interested in words, font, and text. Piechocki met Hoffman while living in Chicago. "He is an incredible craftsman," Piechocki says. "He has gotten some national attention so I thought it would be a great show." MICHAEL T. RIVERS Hoffman hand cuts text into different materials, including colorful pieces of paper and wood, for the showing. The words and phrases are repeated, creating an emotional attachment and release within the viewer. "I find work that has a message both interesting and rewarding.

He has pride in how well the plants have grown in the confined space of his living room. Bergin, Leawood senior, says an apartment without plants feels "kind of sterile." "It's good to let people know that things can live in this apartment," Bergin says. "I like knowing that I can maintain something. It's very welcoming and feels very comfortable." Plants are a great way to create a relaxing atmosphere in an apartment or house. A plant can change the dynamic of a room and offer additional benefits. Richard H. Mattson, professor of Horticulture Therapy at Kansas State University, says plants can act as air filters, reduce stress, and induce relaxation in apartments and confined living spaces. Mattson says plants are a significant way to bring nature indoors. Owning a plant can be easy and low-maintenance even in apartments or houses without much light. When picking out a plant for your residence it is important to think about the space you have and what you are looking for. Plants can help a student connect to nature, even in the midst of computers, television and other technologies that tend to dominate our lives and the places we live. "Plants lift up people's spirits," says Ila Hohn, who works in the garden center at The Home Depot, 1910 W. 31st St. "People want something living and growing when they go home. It makes them feel good." If you are worried about taking care of a plant, don't be. There are many household plants, large and small, that can fit in the corners of your house or sit on your windowsills. For instance, a hanging plant will work for someone with little floor space. A spider plant, also known as an airplane plant, is typically placed in baskets that can hang from the ceiling. This unique plant gets its nicknames from the odd plantlets that hang over the basket. These plants are tough and can survive with little light. Chances are you have seen a trailing foliage plant at a friend's house. Known as Golden Pothos or Devil's Ivy, these small plants work well in low light conditions and are common among students, Hohn says. The Pothos might lose its leaves while trying to adjust to the low light conditions, however Mattson says this is normal. The new leaves will grow back smaller after it adapts to the new conditions of your residence. There are also health benefits to owning an indoor foliage plant. Mattson says foliage plants act as air filters, removing harmful effects of tobacco smoke and other organic pollutants while releasing oxygen. If you have more floor space in your apartment or home, try a larger potted foliage plant. It will add a nice touch to your room and will need little maintenance. Sansevieria, more commonly known as Mother in Law's Tongue or Snake plant, is "indestructible," says Patrick Leach, assistant greenhouse manager at Sunrise Garden Center, 1501 New York St. Leach says most people with apartments pick plants like Mother in Law's Tongue or cast iron plants because they are very hardy, low light plants that don't need much attention. This makes it easier for someone who is skeptical about taking on the responsibility of a plant. Bergin describes his Sansevieria as a "tough, mean of' plant." "That thing just lives," says Bergin, who got the plant after his old neighbor rescued it from the basement of the Eldridge hotel. "It survived down there in the darkness without water for awhile." If you are looking for a plant that can help you unwind after a long day, Mattson's research at Kansas State University has shown that the aroma of lavender plants helps reduce stress. Or you might want a good-looking plant to impress your guests. "I always tell people to buy something less common," Leach says. "If you've got a pineapple plant in your living room, that's interesting." Choosing a plant ultimately depends on what you are looking for. A plant can change the look, smell and feel of a room. "If anything, they smell nice," Bergin says. MIMAX photo illustrations | Jerry Wang having Mother nature.

Lining up along the starting line are the rookies and the veterans. Among them is Joel Haug, a rookie. What lies ahead for Haug, Atchison junior, is the uncharted territory of exhilaration, pain and unexpected friendship unlike anything he's ever experienced. As the race is about to start, he is more curious than nervous. How would his body handle 26.2 miles? WHAT IT'S LIKE // TO RUN 26.2 MILES > We know you're curious ... As he remembers that day last spring, he says the first few miles of the 2010 Kansas Marathon were very relaxed. During his one-month training period, a typical workout would 图 be about six miles. He knew how to do this. So far, so good. Contributed poem Runner's world. Training for a marathon and running the event are two different things as Joel Hang. Achchion junior discovered. Hang experienced cramping and dehydration. 09 12 09 10 One of Haug's friends passed him around mile eight. He viewed this as a taunt — a dare to catch-me-if-you-can. He broke away from his pack, accepting the dare. Haug picked up the pace and caught him by mile 19. But he had lost a lot of energy. Dehydration was on the attack. A water station at each mile was not enough. With three miles to go, Haug had to keep stopping to stretch and get the knots out of his calves. He spotted a stranger who was doing the same thing, but the stranger had a water bottle. Haug asked for a drink, and the water bottle became the relay baton that would encourage them to get to the finish line. "I really think you should take advantage of those going through the exact same thing as you," he says. "You really get a bonding experience." After three hours and 43 minutes, the pain persisted, but Haug crossed the finish line with relief. "It's one of those things that you want to do in your lifetime. I feel like you're never in better shape than you are in your college years." MOLLY MARTIN WESCOE WIT > Lol. Have you overheard any Wescoe witticisms?

NOTICE THIS ONE TIME, AT SUMMER I WROTE STAY CONNECTED TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS — SUMMER CAMP STYLE. Photo Illustration | Jerry Wano Signed, read, delivered. Corresponding with a far-away friend shouldn't be insist because of advancing technology instead of a quick email, send someone a handwritten letter. It will show your appreciation for keeping in touch. A letter is not reliant upon the Internet. It is not deleted with the click of the mouse. It is not 140 characters. For some college students, handwritten letter-writing is a type of communication that only has historic value, reminiscent of Abraham Lincoln or Jane Austen. But for others, specifically those college kids who still go to summer camp, letter-writing is a type of communication cherished long after the stench of bug spray and sunscreen is left behind. Lindie Northup, Edmond, Okla., senior, likes to write letters for the exact reason others don't — people don't communicate like that anymore. This makes letter-writing unique, and as a result, the words become more meaningful and sentimental, she says. As a camp counselor at Shepherd's Fold Ranch near Tulsa, Okla., this past summer, she wrote three to four letters a week to her closest friends, boyfriend and family. Taylor Mann, a junior from Hutchinson, wrote about 50 letters throughout the summer at Kanaku Kamp near Branson, Mo. She says she received just as many. Writing back and forth with her friends helps develop and sustain long-distance friendships, she says. "On a phone you can contact someone whenever you want, but with letters it's a surprise." Writing letters is a tradition that has always been associated with summer camps (think, "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh"). "Letter-writing is a lost art," says Ann Sheets, immediate past national president of the American Camp Association (ACA). She says camps try to get the kids to become less dependent on technology in order to embrace that art. Most camps reserve designated times each day for the children and the counselors to rest and take the time to write letters. At camp, letters replace all other forms of long-distance communication. For college counselors, regulations concerning email and cell phones vary from camp to camp. For example, Mann says she only had access to " LETTER-WRITING IS A LOST ART ANN SHEETS PAST NATIONAL PRESIDENT, ACA her phone on off days, whereas Adam Levine, Leawood junior, says he always had access to his phone as a counselor at Camp Sabra in Rocky Mount, Mo. Without his phone, Levine would have nau no contact with the world outside of camp he only wrote one letter. Regardless, he still appreciated the detachment from other forms of technology, like the computer and TV. Gina Speer, Olathe junior, also is not a fan of the hand-written letter. As a counselor at Camp Foster YMCA of the Okobij's in Spirit Lake, Iowa, MOLLY MARTIN Outside of camp, has the efficiency of email replaced the need of hand-written letters? Margaret Shepherd, author of The Art of the Personal Letter: A Guide to Connecting Through the Written Word, says that in some cases the answer is yes. Email is an easier medium used to notify people about less interesting things in their lives, she says. For example, Shepherd says email is wonderful for planning arrangements. In short, email serves the purpose of immediacy: instant notification and communication. But a lot of the important things that happen in people's lives are not instant. Some things take a little longer to unfold, Shepherd says. How a college student learns to handle laundry or how you feel toward your new roommate—these are situations that can be hard to understand upon first impression. "A letter let's you explore an area you might just rush by," Shepherd says. It delves into something that takes place over a period of time, she says. At any given instant during that time, you don't realize how interesting something really is. Letters also differ from emails by expressing more personality. When reading letters, you see another person's unique handwriting, not a typical Ariel or Times New Roman font. Although Anna Archer, McPherson junior, couldn't actually hear her friend's voice, "the way she CAMP... LETTER WRITING WISDOM "Or don't you like to write letters? If do because it's such a swell way to keep from working and yet feel you've done something." -Ernest Hemingway "A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend." -Emily Dickinson "I consider it a good rule for letter-writing to leave unmentioned what the recipient already knows, and instead tell him something new." *Sigmund Freud* "There must be millions of people all over the world who never get any love letters... I could be their leader." -Charlie Brown "The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity." -Walt Whitman "I hold that the parentheses are by far the most important parts of a non-business letter." -D.H. Lawrence wrote [the letter] sounded so much like her. You can always draw sweet pictures to illustrate your stories," she says. Setting time aside for letter-writing is a great strategy for college students. Shepherd recommends trying to write a couple letters once every two weeks, or even once a month. The first of each month could be an easy reminder to set that time aside. People know when you've taken extra trouble to do something, Shepherd says. That's what a letter is. It's a little extra trouble that lasts forever. Jp Staniunas said the fund is publicized through Student Senate and always gives tickets to the McNair Scholars Program.

This year the event will include a presentation by Westar Energy and a performance by "Eco Elvis." LOCAL BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com "Most people just aren't aware how much they can conserve," Benson said. "We're hoping that through this fair, people who aren't aware of conservation will become aware and people who are aware will learn other ways that they can reduce further." The Energy Conservation Fair is hosted by the City of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling Division and will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the City of Lawrence Community Building, located at 115 W. 11th St. The fair will feature 40 exhibits and will also feature presentations, workshops and performances all related to energy conservation and education. Benson, a sophomore from Orlando, Fla., will miss Saturday's home game to volunteer at the 10th annual Lawrence Energy Conservation Fair. Benson is the coordinator for the Resource Conservation committee and is an officer in Environs, the student organization that promotes environmental awareness. When Nick Benson discusses energy and power on Saturday, he won't be referring to the football team. Tickets will be required for the Sustainable Homes Tour, but admittance to the fair is free to the public. To show the benefits of public transportation, the Lawrence Transit System will also be offering free rides on the T all day Saturday on all fixed routes. Kathy Richardson, the waste reduction and recycling operations supervisor, said in the past this event has grown to attract more than 600 attendees who enjoy learning from a variety of presenters including builders, architects, insulation experts, heating and cooling contractors, government agencies, non-profit and alternative fuel vehicle representatives. The University's Center for Sustainability will present at the fair again this year speaking about conservation around campus. Jeffrey Severin, director for the center, said they would be trying to illustrate how the University is addressing energy in a variety of ways. Severin said that at the fair they would be looking at some of the research that is going on around campus through the Energy Council, through the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis and a variety of research centers on campus that focus on issues that either address renewable energy or energy consumption and climate change. "Environmental issues always seem like such large challenges and somewhat overwhelming." Severin said. "Energy conservation is something that we can all easily do in our daily lives. Fairs like this really help put that into perspective." Severin said in the past these fairs have always provided a lot of great information to anyone interested. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Horn said Nickie Lee, who works in the State Energy Office and will speak about Efficiency Kansas, can educate students who rent on how to save money and Eileen Horn, the sustainability coordinator for the city, said the fair provided a forum for people to come and learn about energy conservation, new energy technologies and ways to become more energy efficient.

Bailey Waite does research while text messaging, talks on the phone while driving and checks her email while cooking dinner. "I'm pretty good at taking care of more than one thing at a time," Waite, Salina senior, says. Multitasking may be a great way to get things done, but we may not be getting them done as well as we could. A recent study at Stanford University revealed that media multitaskers performed tasks less efficiently than their single-tasking peers. Clifford Nass, a professor of sociology at Stanford University, says our brains are designed to process one informational stimulus at a time. Each time you switch from one task to another there is a significant lapse in concentration. "When it comes to media, if content is unrelated, the brain can't think," Nass says. "When you perform multiple tasks at once the delay is much larger than if you perform tasks in sequence." 11:18 Information overload. Multitasking may seem harmless, but conquering many tasks at a time can after your concentration and even affect memory. Nass says multitasking is efficient if simple tasks performed simultaneously activate separate channels, like washing dishes while watching the news. Paul Atchley, associate professor of psychology at the University, says multitasking negatively affects memory and primary task performance. He says heavy multitaskers perform a single task worse than their counterparts and are no better at performing multiple tasks. "There's really no advantage," Atchley says. "Pickthetaskyouneedtoaccomplish first, set the others aside and do each task individually." VERDICT: Bad for you. MEGAN RUPP Participate in a Clinical Study. Spare time?

If she only knew how gross it was to walk outside without shoes, she might reconsider. > Dude...gross. Kicking off your shoes and tromping around barefoot is not only dangerous, but it's disgusting. Sure, the feel of warm summer grass beneath your feet is great on occasion. Just beware of what is lurking inside of all that green grass. Nothing will ruin your day more than stepping right into a huge steaming pile of dog poop. Yuck! Add bug bites, warts, splinters and broken glass into the equation and you've got yourself a disaster. Joel Foster, a doctor of pediatric medicine from Lees Summit, Mo., says viral infections like warts are common for people who walk around barefoot. "It's especially disgusting if you have nasty feet," Foster says. "If you have a fungus, you could be spreading it around to everybody else." contributed photo Foothost: *Leaving your bare feet run wild could result in yourself to do and others. Before you go sans sandals, be aware that you could be spreading disease, not to mention stepping in unpleasant substances.* Foster says people should avoid walking barefoot outside, and those with plantar fasciitis, a condition that causes heel pain, should always avoid it because it only worsens the condition. Next time you want to kick off your shoes and run around barefoot, you might want to think again. And if you insist on going barefoot, be sure to watch your step. JACQUE WEBER Unplanned Pregnancy?

PHOSPHENE DREAM (BLUE HORIZON) (BLUE HORIZON) Recorded in Los Angeles, Phosphene Dream is the Black Angels' third full-length offering, and it represents a brand new sound. 2006's Passover was the band's debut burner, essentially a collection of bluesy pop songs dressed up and hidden behind massive reverberation and delay with a dark, vaguely anti-war stance. The Angels' 2008 sophomore effort, Directions to See a Ghost, was a step further into the murky drone. It was longer, heavier, more complex and an even bigger nod to psych legends The 13th Floor Elevators and Spacemen 3. Though both of these albums were more aligned with the dissonant repetition of early Velvet Underground, 2010 brings more pop and more groove. The blackness, bleakness and evil are still here, but there are the occasionally lighter moments. Opener "Bad Vibrations" is exactly what it sounds like: a droning, moody and defiant rocker reminiscent of The Doors' and Jefferson Airplane's darker moments. "Sunday Afternoon" is pure mid-'60s sunshine glow-pop, but with a menacing offer: "Well come on, over here. It's alright, over here..." The electric jug completes the picture. There are too many fantastic songs to mention, but along with "Telephone" (which could have been on the Nuggets compilation), "Yellow Elevator #2" stands out. The track begins with a funky, fuzzy bass that lopes along while maniacal, backwards guitars submerge and resurface. Eventually the song breaks down into a slow, beautiful realization: "Now I can see how the seasons all repeat..." If you've been out of the loop, I recommend checking up on the Angels' new, somewhat less horrifying, direction. ★ ★ ALEX TRETBAR RESTAURANT REVIEW // ENCORE CAFE > The taste of the town, one meal at a time. There is almost certainly a group of cells in every person's brain, located in the "food" area, that cries out "Chinese!" every month. A similar arcane craving came to me, so I headed to recently renovated Encore Café, a Chinese-Japanese synthesis restaurant located at 1007 Massachusetts St. First sampling the crab rangoon and then the "Cantonese style Chow Fun," the food satisfied my craving. The crab rangoon was pretty good, and my entrée was large, savory, and filling. Starting when humanity lived in caves, carrying big sticks, the craving would drive them mad, as most of the cave-people had no access to Chinese food and would try absurd substitutions, like frying their own lice instead of rice, or making fortune cookies out of worded stone tablets with bad caveman grammar, folded within some intricate, not-very-tasty, impossibly brittle cave cookie. But there wasn't anything to distinguish Encore Café from any other "Chinese" establishment. In fact, the restaurant was surprisingly plain — very little décor, with an awkwardly large dining area that felt a little bit like a cafeteria. The only source of style was a meagly fish tank near where the wait staff kept breaking water glasses. THOMAS C. HARDY Encore cafe CONTINUE THE GAME @JEFFERSON'S $5 BUD LT.

The show is held as a fundraiser for the Jack B. Wright Student Ticket Fund. Dalton Gomez/KANSAN BY NICOLAS ROESLER proesler@kansan.com nroesler@kansan.com Before movies, before television and even before radio, there was theater. Modern entertainment has transferred the spotlight from the stage to the screen, but some still see value in live drama, live acting and being part of an interactive audience. Friends of the Theatre (FROTH) is putting on a show at 7:30 tonight at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall called "Pastiche." The production is a variety show with a general theme of "heart and music." With two sections of 10 acts, it features music, monologues, dance and more. The show will raise money for the Jack B. Wright Student Ticket Fund, which raises money in collaboration with the KU Endowment fund to give tickets to both underprivileged students and students who don't usually get a chance to go to the theater. John Staniunas, chair of the University's department of theatre and film, said the uniqueness of the theater experience cannot be duplicated by movies or TV, and that is why he believes in raising money for the student ticket fund. He said there is something special about seeing art come to life. "They are reflecting your life in the characters that they play," Staniunas said. "So you are trying to find yourself in the experience of the actors up on the stage." The student ticket fund will disperse tickets to both University students and Haskell Indian Nations University students for various productions throughout the year. Stanianes said the fund was actually the idea of Dave Ambler, the vice chancellor emeritus for student affairs from 1977 to 2002. Ambler was given the chance to go to a live theater production for the first time when he was in college. For the rest of his life, Ambler was an active theater-goer, Staniunas said, and Ambler decided to give that opportunity to other students. The fund is now named after Jack B. Wright, a longtime University professor of theater. Stanianas said the fund is publicized through Student Senate and always gives tickets to the McNair Scholars Program. The program is a federal organization designed to help undergraduates prepare for doctoral studies, specifically students who either have financial need or are from groups typically underrepresented in graduate education. The ticket fund has only been around for little more than a year, but Ngondi Kamatuka, director of the University's McNair chapter, said KU Endowment and Ambler's original fund have given tickets to McNair scholars for about 10 years. "It has been beneficial for students and faculty both to go to shows at the theater," Kamatuka said. "It exposes them to many areas of the University lifestyle." Students with financial aid are eligible for free tickets from the fund, but students who have simply never been to a University Theatre show have a chance for free admission, too. Justin Cobb, a senior from Overland Park, has never been to a University production, which he said is because he rarely sees advertisements for events. "Depending on the show, I would definitely take advantage of a free ticket," Cobb said. The University's McNair chapter gets an average of 15 to 20 tickets each year. Faculty members take the scholars to the show, and ABOUT THE SHOW WHAT: "Pastiche,"a Friends of the Theatre production/ fundraiser for the Jack B.Wright Student Ticket Fund WHEN: Tonight at 7:30 WHERE: Crafton-Preyer Theatre at Murphy Hall COST: $10 for students, $20 for adults, $10 for children 18 and under, $10 for post-show reception afterwards they get together and discuss it. Kamatuka said the educational growth that comes from the theater is extremely beneficial and students truly appreciate the experience. All proceeds from "Pastiche" and the post- show reception will go directly to the fund. Edited by Alex Tretbar LOCAL City to host annual energy conservation fair Build Green. TOWE ENERGY INNOVATION KU THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Energy Council OW BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com When Nick Benson discusses energy and power on Saturday, he won't be referring to the football team. Benson, a sophomore from Orlando, Fla., will miss Saturday's home game to volunteer at the 10th annual Lawrence Energy Conservation Fair. Benson is the coordinator for the Resource Conservation committee and is an officer in Environs, the student organization that promotes environmental awareness. "Most people just aren't aware how much they can conserve," Benson said. "We're hoping that through this fair, people who aren't aware of conservation will become aware and people who are aware will learn other ways that they can reduce further." Lawrence residents peruse porches at last year's Energy Conservation Fair. This year the event will include a presentation by Westar Enerov and a performance by "Eco Elvis." Photo courtesy of Kathy Richardson The Energy Conservation Fair is hosted by the City of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling Division and will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the City of Lawrence Community Building, located at 115 W. 11th St. The fair will feature 40 exhibits and will also feature presentations, workshops and performances all related to energy conservation and education. Tickets will be required for the Sustainable Homes Tour, but admittance to the fair is free to the public. To show the benefits of public transportation, the Lawrence Transit System will also be offering free rides on the T all day Saturday on all fixed routes. Kathy Richardson, the waste reduction and recycling operations supervisor, said in the past this event has grown to attract more than 600 attendees who enjoy learning from a variety of presenters including builders, architects, insulation experts, heating and cooling contractors, government agencies, non-futures and alternative fuel vehicle representatives. Jeffrey Severin, director for the center, said they would be trying to illustrate how the University is addressing energy in a variety of ways. Severin said that at the fair they would be looking at some of the research that is going on around campus through the Energy Council, through the Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis and a variety of research centers on campus that focus on issues that either address renewable energy or energy consumption and climate change. The University's Center for Sustainability will present at the fair again this year speaking about conservation around campus. Photo courtesy of Kathy Richardson "Environmental issues always seem like such large challenges and somewhat overwhelming." Severin said. "Energy conservation is something that we can all easily do in our daily lives. Fairs like this really help put that into perspective." Severin said in the past these fairs have always provided a lot of great information to anyone interested. Eileen Horn, the sustainability coordinator for the city, said the fair provided a forum for people to come and learn about energy conservation, new energy technologies and ways to become more energy efficient. Horn said Nickie Lee, who works in the State Energy Office and will speak about Efficiency Kansas, can educate students who rent on how to save money and SCHEDULE OF EVENTS SEE ENERGY ON PAGE 3A 10 a.m. — Lawrence Energy Conservation Fair opens with exhibits. 11 a.m. — Dominique Davison of Davison Architecture + Urban Design LLC talks about residential housing and the associated environmental effects. .ooon — Eco Elvis, an environmentally friendly Elvis impersonator, will perform modified Elvis songs with an environmental message. 1:30 p.m. — Nickle Lee from the State Energy Office will speak about Efficiency Kansas. 2:30 p.m. — Larry Kinder with LilyPad EV will speak about plug-in electric vehicles and their benefits to the environment and businesses. 4 p.m. — Exhibits close.

CAMPUS Politician allegedly violated KU policy University Relations began receiving reports around 3 p.m. that Yoder, who was student body president during the 1998-1999 school year, was Kevin Yoder, candidate for the 3rd Congressional District of Kansas, may have broken the University's media policy Wednesday after allegedly filming on campus without permission. with a group of people who were filming in front of Strong Hall and the Kansas Memorial Union. "I was walking across Jayhawk Boulevard and saw him and a few of his staff with a video camera," said Nick Boehm, a senior from Prairie Village. "There was a kid that enthusiastically said, I'm a Jayhawk and I'm a Yoder voter, into the camera." Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said Yoder did not have permission to film on campus. "Under our media policy, they are supposed to get permission to film from University Relations," Cohen said. "I am disappointed that didn't occur." University Relations staff searched for Yoder at the Kansas Memorial Union but was unable to locate him. Cohen said University Relations had yet to contact the Yoder campaign to confirm that the film crew was Yoder's. Cohen said he thought University Relations would not pursue the matter further. Yoder's previous request to film in the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center was denied by University Relations because it violated a Kansas State Board of Regents and University campus facilities policy Yoder was unavailable to comment on the alleged violation. Adam Strunk RELIGION Preacher threatens to burn Quran, again GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Rev. Terry Jones, an anti-Islamic preacher, backed off and then threatened to reconsider burning the Quran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, aggrily accusing Imam Muhammad Musri, a Muslim leader, of lying to him Thursday with a promise to move an Islamic center and mosque away from New York's ground zero. The imam planning the center denied such a deal. "Given what we are now hearing, we are forced to rethink our decision," Jones said. "So as of right now, we are not canceling the event, but we are suspending it." Jones did not say whether the Quran burning could still be held Saturday, but he said he expected Musri to keep his word. Musri did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Thursday after Jones accused him of lying. t ET CETERA f Associated Press MEDIA PARTNERS t f STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE KANSAN get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan._News, or become a fan of The University Daily Kansan on Facebook.

The entire place has been swarming with people. Loud voices and the smell of homemade foods have been wafting through the air as family and friends gleefully greet one another with a hug and the traditional saying of "Eid Mubarak," or "Happy Eid." "It is like a rainbow of colors," said Khatija Vaid, a resident of Kansas City, Kan. "That's the best way to describe it because everybody's wearing different colors. Everyone's really happy." Today is the first day of the Islamic holiday Eid, a three-day celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. It consists of a worship service, a familial gift exchange and, in the case of the Lawrence Islamic Center, a giant brunch to break the month-long Ramadan fast. "The first day is very early in the morning starting at 7," said Ibrahim Alanqar, a senior from the Gaza Strip, and president of the KU Student Muslim Association. "People gather in the mosque or Islamic center and start praising God. Then around 8 we pray and hear a speech about how we celebrate Eid." In keeping with the fourth pillar of Islam. Eid participants also give a Zakat, or monetary donation, for those less fortunate than themselves. "It's money we pay so that poor people can also have a good Eid day," Vaid said. The holiday provides all types of people with the opportunity to unite under a single religious belief. "I see so much diversity," said Asma Zaidi, an associate professor of biochemistry. "There's so much unity with Eid in that we're all experiencing joy for the same use." With this year's holiday coinciding with the anniversary of 9/11, members of the Lawrence Islamic Center are well aware that some people might have mixed feelings about the celebration. 138 "I think right now it's actually a good thing that we have all of these mixed opinions or biases," Zaidi said. "It means that people are paying attention and once you get that attention you can start to focus on solutions. It's time for us to explain our side of things."

Thursday concluded Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims. ENERGY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) conserve energy. Efficiency Kansas is a new, low-cost loan program that helps Kansans make energy-efficient improvements to homes, rental units, or small businesses. Horn said Lee can help students see how they can work with their landlords to make their rental units more efficient and in turn save money. Both Horn and Benson said they were extremely excited about Westar Energy's presentation at the fair. Westar will showcase its new smart grid investment grant program. Lawrence residents are the first and only residents within Westar's service territory to receive smart grids. "I think this is going to be a huge thing for Lawrence," Benson said. Smart Grid technology is a state-of-the-art approach to managing electricity systems, according to Westar's website. The website states customer benefits will include enhanced service reliability and response to outages, daily energy use and cost information, optional services such as text and email alerts for bill trends and outages, and web portal with energy savings tips, carbon footprint calculator and neighborhood comparative analysis information. "Smart grids will allow you to change your energy usage and save money, which is an opportunity we never had before," Horn said. In addition to innovative energy-saving technology, some presenters and vendors will be there solely to educate the community. For Benson, anything, no matter how small it is, can make a difference. "The slightest thing that you can do or are willing to do is good enough." Benson said. "That's money in your pocket that you could, I don't know, go spend on a football ticket." Edited by Abby Davenport CAMPUS Rock Chalk Revue to hold benefit scollins@kansan.com BY SAMANTHA COLLINS scollins@anq.com For the first time the Rock Chalk Revue advisory board hopes to unite the KU community with a University-wide outdoor benefit concert tonight to raise money for the United Way of Douglas County. Mark Campbell, executive producer for the Rock Chalk Revue advisory board and a senior from Leawood, said Rock Chalk Revue isn't only a Greek life event, but rather an event for the entire University to enjoy. "We are making Lawrence a better place with the money we raise," Campbell said. The Sigma Chi Fraternity house, 1439 Tennessee St., will host the event on its lawn. The concert will feature the mashup, remix co called The White Panda. Doors open at 8 p.m., and students can purchase tickets for $15 at the door. Tom Evans, a member of The White Panda, said the duo produces music similar to the popular group called Girl Talk. Last year, the Rock Chalk Revue raised about $47,000 throughout the year for the United Way. Joe Moore, executive fund raising coordinator and a senior from Wichita, said the organization hopes to raise $75,000 this year. Pre-show ticket sales have already raised almost $40,000. "It will get the student body together to help the community," Moore said. Rock Chalk Revue is one of the oldest student-run fundraising groups at the University, this year being its 62nd year. Each spring, the Rock Chalk Revue hosts a musical variety show containing five acts from different student organizations. Partnership with the United Way started about 25 years ago. The United Way supports 21 nonprofit organizations throughout Douglas County ranging from the Humane Society to meal programs for seniors. Erika Dvorske, CEO of the United Way of Douglas County, said colleges around the nation envy the historical relationship between the Rock Chalk Revue and the United Way of Douglas County, not only because of the fundraising but also the collaborative efforts of the various student groups involved in the organizations. "We are proud that the students want to be involved in this way," Dvorske said. "It has a great impact on the community."

This summer, Marlesa A. Roney, the vice provost for Student Success, initiated changes in more than 20 of Student Success' departments. A realignment placed all of its departments within three areas — advising and academic support; health and wellness; and recruitment, scholarships and financial aid. Before, each department acted more like a separate entity. With the reorganization, Student Success hopes to strengthen its presence among struggling students and help meet Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's goals of increased retention and graduation rates. Jeffrey Vitter, provost and executive vice chancellor, said Student Success would use database, real time programs — such as an early alert system run by faculty members - to help achieve this. Under the early alert system, once a faculty member recognized a student had a problem — for example, if the student had poor attendance or came to class smelling of alcohol — they would notify Student Success, which would then reach out to the student, assess the problem and find a solution. Lori Reesor, associate vice provost and head of the advising and academic support department, said they would ask the referred students, for example, if they had thought about tutoring or using other Student Success services. Notification about holds is another service that Roney said Student Services would like to improve. Roney said they would like to implement an e-mail notification system, for example, to let a student know well in advance about parking or tuition holds so they could take care of the problems before enrollment. Student Success also took a more hands-on approach at the beginning of the school year to strengthen its student presence. During the first weeks of school, Brenda Maigaard, assistant vice provost for Financial Aid and Scholarships, organized help desks near Strong Hall to create a point of contact as students entered the building. "During those 10 business days, University representatives assisted 2,468 students." Maigard said. Maigaard said students asked questions about class locations, directions to various building on campus and for general assistance, such as where to go for academic advising, financial aid, enrollment and paying a bill. Sam Shelton, a freshman from Olathe, said he found the information useful. "It was really helpful because they told me where to go so I wouldn't be wandering around for hours," Shelton said. Reesor said more effective marketing could also go a long way toward achieving a greater Student Success presence. She said she often heard from seniors that they didn't know about various services and that there seemed to be a disconnect between what Student Success offered and the amount of students who took advantage of those resources.

TELEVISION MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Sitcoms get edgier themes LOS ANGELES — A few network comedies have seen success in recent years, such as "Glee" and "Modern Family". But overall, launching new sitcoms is tough. Networks are turning to edgier themes this season — lost jobs, overeating, baby daddies, foulmouthed parents — in an attempt to make sitcoms that are more relatable to viewers. Don't expect it to get much better this year with only six new comedies on the 2010-11 TV schedules for the five networks. That brings this season's total to 21 comedies on the networks, compared to 49 a decade ago. The new CBS comedy "Mike & Molly" features plus-size actors as the romantic leads: Billy Gardell and Melissa McCarthy. It's a change from how networks have traditionally cast overweight actors, often seen as the "best friend" or "enemy." "I wanted to write a show about two people at the beginning of a relationship." says series creator Mark Roberts. "In this case we had the courage and, I think, the wisdom to just cast people that are just people trying to make their lives better and find someone that they can love and be loved by," Lorre says. "It may be odd for television, but I hope it's reflective of some kind of reality that people will experience." The other new CBS comedy, “"##! My Father Says," based on Executive producer Chuck Lorre adds the normal Hollywood approach would be to cast "Chris O'Donnell and Courteney Cox" as the people who meet at Overeaters Anonymous. the popular blog by Justin Halpern that's a collection of the outlandish things his father says, has already attracted the wrath of the watchdog group Parents Teacher Council because of its suggestive name. Star William Shatner would prefer the show use even edgier language because it's the way most people talk. "I wish they would call it (expletive). Shatner says. "I've got grandchildren. I brought up three girls. They've all got kids. And you say 'Boopy doo-doo, you've got to make ppo-poo. Come on. Make ppo-poo in the toilet.' Eventually, "poo-poo" becomes (expletive).

EDITORIAL BOARD Security position right for Olin, Athletics Dept. KU Athletics made the right decision when they hired former Lawrence Olin retired from his position as police chief Aug. 31 and began working for the University on Sept. 1. According to an article in the Lawrence Journal. World, Olin's new position with the Athletics Department will have him identifying weaknesses that may put the department as risk for reputational, security or regulatory problems. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for the department, said Olin will be advising the department on event management and risk management, as well as advising the department on where they need to make improvements or changes. "He will ensure the best level of security for student athletes and Kansas Athletics," Marchiony said. Marchiony said that last spring's ticketing scandal had nothing to do with the creation of the position and that Perkins began discussing a potential position within the department for Olin two years ago. While the ticketing scandal may not have been the reason for the creation of this new position, Olin should be very aware of the inner workings of the department and should ensure that the staff is held to the utmost ethical standard. The University cannot afford another embarrassment. Olin was a good choice for this position. He is a 1975 graduate of the University and has taught several classes at KU over the years. Because of his history with KU, Olin is prepared and aware of what the University and its students will expect of him in this position "All of his experience was perfect for what we wanted to do." Marchiony said. The position was not directly created for Olin, but Marchiony said the department is lucky to have a man with Olin's experience living in Lawrence and that the department would be giving up a great opportunity if they did not utilize his talent. Marchiony said Olin's integrity, outstanding knowledge and reputation in the security field were all reasons that he made such a great candidate for the position like that will not happen again. Taking the initiative to create the position was a smart move for the Athletics Department. It shows that they care about the safety and security of student athletes and that they, like the rest of the University, will not stand for another embarrassing scandal and are working to ensure that something Students should feel good that the department is making efforts to ensure security in the Athletics Department. Especially during this transitional period the athletics department is going through with the early retirement for former athletics director, Lew Perkins. Students should let Olin know what they expect from him in his new position and from the department in the future. Kate Larabee for The Kansan Editorial Board What do you expect from KU Athletics?

Not surprisingly, Congressional Republicans have already come out in opposition to the plan. Ironically, the party of "tax cuts" seems to forget this in a polarized election year in which any chance of a legislative victory for President Obama will be obstructed. Tuesday, the president said he wouldn't allow the huge tax breaks for the rich to continue, signaling he will allow a return to the rates of the Clinton era. While Obama's plan is ambitious, the major development of the week has to be his drawing of a line in the sand against the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest two percent of Americans. By no coincidence, the Clinton era was a time of unprecedented economic growth. And rightly so. In a time with almost 10 percent unemployment, a never-ending housing crisis and the largest inequality of wealth we have seen in decades, why should the most fortunate among us enjoy lucrative tax rates? For this proposal, Obama must be given the highest praise. While some Congressional Democrats have been wavering on the issue, a signal from the leader of the Democratic Party that there will be no compromise on this issue should rally the Party to ensure these tax cuts are not extended If the enormous inequality of wealth and ever-shrinking middle class were not reason enough to let the tax cuts for the rich expire, how about the national debt? History has shown that the key to a strong economy is a strong middle class with the power and the confidence to spend. The "trickle-down" theory of wealth has been repudiated time and again. The economy is not and has never been stimulated by lining the pockets of the super-rich. Conservatives love to scream about the ballooning national debt and place the blame on Democrats for their spending and stimulus. Do they not remember that when President Bush took office, Clinton had left behind a budget SURPLUS? Have they no memory? It was two unnecessary wars that cost billions of dollars a month that set off the huge increase in government spending. And how did President Bush address the issue of funding the war? He cut taxes for the group that brings in the highest revenue! The stimulus undoubtedly aided the national debt, but the tax structure created under the Bush administration along with the horribly expensive wars is the root cause. President Obama is right to let these tax cuts expire. If conservatives are serious about cutting the deficit and stimulating the economy, it would be nice to see them get tough and do what needs to be done, not babble on about cutting programs like Social Security and unemployment benefits. The President's decision not to compromise signals once again he is on the side of the 98 percent of Americans who are simply trying to make ends meet, while the GOP continues to suckle at the teet of the wealthy donors who put them in office.

FASHION Style choices important when it comes to dating Despite the group projects, papers and final exams, first dates are arguably one of the most stressful experiences during a college career. Out of all the many pressures that come with a date, one of the most troubling is finding an outfit that will wow your potential significant other. The Casual Date I can't guarantee that your date will be a success, but I can help you put together an outfit that will give you the confidence, and style, for the perfect date. Casual dates, such as hanging out at home and watching movies or going to a fun restaurant like Dempsey's or The Mad Greek, can be tricky to dress appropriately for. Avoid dressing up too much or you could make your date feel uncomfortable about underdressing. However, dressing too casually may make it seem like the date isn't important to you. Think of your go-to outfit for spending time with friends and take it up a notch. Guys, trade the basketball shorts you wear to class and around the house for a nice clean pair of shorts. Ladies, do the same for the running shorts or leggings you like to lounge in. The staple casual date outfit is a T-shirt and jeans, so stand out and wear a nicer shirt or a pullover sweater. The Formal Date When going out to a nice restaurant or dancing, dress like you would when outing out to the clubs, but focus on dressing more polished and less revealing. Avoid looking desperate, but don't dress too stiff. Guys, wear a patterned shirt and some nice, light gray slacks. Ladies should wear a vibrant skirt or dress, or follow the men and wear cheery Natalie BY ALEX ESPOSITO esposito@kansan.com The Mystery Date colored pants and a shirt. Be careful that your formal outfit doesn't look businessy, or your date may think you're boring. The key to achieving the perfect format attire is accessorizing, so guys—don't forget to wear your dress shoes and socks, uniquely hued tie, and belt. And ladies, wear some sparkly or patent leather heels and a cute headband to jazz up your look. If you don't know exactly what kind of date you're going on, don't be afraid to ask your date for some more details. You don't want to over or under dress. If you still don't know what's appropriate, wear something that can be interpreted as dressy or casual by meeting in the middle. A simple dress for girls or a nice t-shirt with dark wash jeans for guys works for most occasions. Bring a sweater in case you need to dress your outfit up, or if you get cold. The most important rule of date attire is to avoid looking like you're trying too hard. It's important to be relaxed and calm so you can enjoy your date. Don't wear anything that's out of your comfort zone or that you wouldn't normally wear. The key to beginning a successful relationship is finding someone you can act and dress like yourself around.

Now students of the University of Kansas can see glimpses of those perspectives in a new exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art. "African Healing Journeys: Historical and Contemporary Responses to Disease," opened Wednesday as a part of the international conference "Medical Anthropology in Global Africa: Current trends in Scholarship and Practice." The exhibit showcases four different areas of African culture and how African societies function when it comes to illness, health and community. The four sections include: The Measurement of Humanity, where beauty and death are focused on; Living in Balance with Nature; Sickness and Healing; and Sickness when something else is going on. Tribal pottery The image is a black and white painting depicting a bustling community scene with various figures engaged in different activities. In the foreground, a central figure wearing a crown and dancer-like attire sits on a platform surrounded by multiple smaller figures, including children and women in traditional clothing. The background features clusters of houses, pots, and tools, suggesting an agricultural or village setting. Floral motifs are present throughout the composition, adding to the cultural richness of the scene. The artwork on display came from the Spencer Museum of Art's own collection, along with contributed work from the Kauffman Museum in North Newton. Included will be culturally related masks, paintings and carvings. Professor John Janzen is the Photo contributed by Spencer Museum of Art curator of the exhibit. He said he hoped this exhibit would show how every society on this planet has a way of dealing with hardship and show that Africa has some of the most unique solutions. The painting, "Child Taken by Mermaid," by Mazanyani, is featured in a new exhibit showcasing African perspectives on health at the Spencer Museum of Art. The exhibit, "African Healing Journeys," will be on display until Oct. 3. "Each of these themes has its counterpart in our society," Janzen said. "But the particulars are going to be different." Photo contributed by Spencer Museum of Art This wooden divination cup, created by Oyo peoples, is part of the new "African Healing Journeys" exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art. For example, Janzen said the modern American view of beauty tends to be thin, while in African culture, pregnant women and more shapely women are the symbols of beauty because they represent fertility and wealth. In today's Western society the perception is different. Meghan Crylen, a senior from St. Louis, said beauty today is centered completely on physical beauty. "It's more about appearances than anything," said Crylen. "People do things that are bad for their bodies just to look good." Besides beauty, the art on display in this exhibit has other connections to today's society and how people deal with problems in the Western world. For African societies, illness doesn't necessarily mean that an infection has created the affliction a person might have, according to Janzen, who is a medical anthropologist. The fourth section of the exhibit, Sickness when something else is going on, showcases the many forms of illness that people experience and what causes them. Some illnesses such as panic attacks are a more social disorder. Janzen said the African societies with work in this exhibit use a Western equivalent of support groups to help their communities with these problems. Janzen said many times Western societies go straight for a medicinal remedy whereas many African societies look for an alternative, more natural cause and cure. Celka Strahug, the director of academic programs at the Spencer Museum of Art, will help educate visitors about this. medicine Students like Emily Ulvang, a senior from Overland Park, agree that Western medicine isn't always "There is no singular notion on what disease is," Straughn said. "It can be dealt with culturally or medically." the best cure for an ailment. "Most people go straight to modern medicine," Ulvang said. "A lot of times it is better to try something more natural like changing your diet or exercising." until Oct. 3.

Emily Scott is researching, with the support of federal grants, the possibility of a new drug that would alleviate the harm of nicotine. One in five Americans currently smoke and adults aged 18 to 24 make up 21.4 percent of smokers. Both numbers remain steady, according to recent reports from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. "We're trying to stop the protein that converts nicotine into the cancer-causing molecule," Scott said. "It wouldn't treat lung cancer, but it would prevent it for those people who can't or won't give up tobacco." In August 2009, Scott, an associate professor in the department of medicinal chemistry, added a $300,000 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant to the more than $1 million already being used to fund her lung cancer research. Without the help of federal and private funding, Scott said her research would not have been possible. Don's Auto Center The stimulus act, approved by former President George W. Bush and implemented by President Barack Obama in February of 2009, allocated $787 billion to be spent over a period of a couple of years. Of the $787 billion, $275 billion went to contracts, grants and loans, according to www.Recovery.gov. Lawrence's local repair shop | 11th & Haskell | 841-4833 Certified Technicians College Approved As of Sept. 3, 74 ARRA awards have been given to Lawrence researchers, totaling $44.7 million. "It helped us keep some good research projects going, as well as maintained or created jobs in many areas." Much of research funding goes towards salaries, which includes graduate student salaries, salaries for students who are considered post-doctorate and summer salaries. 44.7 million. In 2009, the University received over $200 million for the first time with a total of $207,092,922, according to the sponsored research prepared by the office of research and graduate studies. The funding also contributes to equipment, construction and laboratory hall renovation. "Large, external grants are the only way to do research." "Large, external grants are the only way to do research," Scott said. "This University would not be a research institute otherwise." "We've really been grateful to the federal government for having this," Boatright said. Boatright, the director of communications for the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, said that this has been an outstanding year in terms of financial awards. Preliminary reports suggest that in the fiscal year 2010, which ended in June, the University received $238 million. The unusually high amount is mainly due to ARRA grants, Kevin Boatright said. EMILY SCOTT Researcher Bethany L. Cox Scott's ARRA grant requires that the money be spent by the end of this calendar year, although her research won't conclude then. She said it is a long-term process to develop a drug and they are still in the research lab phase, trying to understand and visibly see what the protein looks like in order to know how to inhibit it. Scott explained that when people smoke, they smoke for the addictive agent nicotine, which is inhaled and then distributed throughout the body. Nicotine does not cause cancer, but as the body works to get rid of the nicotine, some proteins in the lung convert the nicotine into something that is carcinogenic. The chemical that is created from nicotine modifies DNA and Adam Buhler/KANSAN Dr Emily Scott, associate professor in chemistry, received a $300,000 grant to further her research in lung cancer. Scott's grant comes from the American Recover and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) which has funded grants to KU totaling over $44 million. goes into lung cells, adding itself to a DNA adduct. Adducts cause problems when DNA goes to copy itself or add proteins. Ultimately, the cell replicates itself uncontrollably, resulting in lung cancer. For Aaron Harris, life-enhancing research such as Scott's is one of every major university's obligations. Harris, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said research and the grants they require are important. "College isn't just to get you a job," Harris said. "It also gives students and researchers a chance to make scientific and historic breakthroughs that contribute to society." 1234567890 Edited by Alex Tretbar GATEWAY TO GAMEDAY AT THE KANSAS UNION THIS WEEK: KU BOOKSTORE KUBOOKSTORE.COM - Selected Ballcaps only 9G.88}$ The Green and red other vendors - Free Jayhawk Button, collect all seven with any purchase - Free JayhawkTattoos each game! *All items while supplies last hu The Game and select other vendors ku THIS WEEK!

WWW.KANSAN.COM OFFENSIVE STING PAGE 1B Coaches familiar with Tech option Action NEWS Defensive coordinator Carl Torbush talks to members of the media at a press conference before Kansas' season opening game against North Dakota State. The Jayhawks held the Bison to only two field goals, but lost the game 6-3. BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway When Carl Torbush left Mississippi State University last season, he thought he had seen the last of the Georgia Tech offense. Now the defensive coordinator for the University of Kansas football team, Torbush is in for a reunion of sorts. Dealing with the unorthodox Yellow Jackets (1-0) this Saturday at Memorial Stadium will not be easy for the Jayhawk defense, but Torbush is looking forward to the matchup. Last year against Torbush's Mississippi State defense, eight Yellow Jackets carried the ball for a combined 213 yards and four touchdowns. Mississippi State lost to Georgia Tech, with a final score of 42-31. "It's a fun week in a lot of ways because it makes your players be very,very technique- and alignment- sound," Torbush said. "I'm old enough that the way I came up in coaching was against wishbone, split-back option," Torbush said. "This is the type of offense you always felt like you coached your best in terms of alignment and assignment football." Just last week, the Yellow Jackets steamrolled their FCS opponent South Carolina State 41-10 behind senior quarterback Joshua Nessbitt's performance — on the ground. Nesbitt completed only one pass for eight yards, but his 16 rushes for 130 yards and three touchdowns put the other Yellow Jacket rushers (all 11 of them) to shame "Nesbitt throws the ball well enough that he can get you in trouble not only with the deep ball but the short ball as well," Torbush said. "But the number one thing you have to do is stop the running game or you have no chance." The jayhawks go into Saturday in quarterback flux. Coach Turner Gill named freshman Jordan Webb the starter one week after he said sophomore Kale Pick earned the job. Webb replaced Pick late in the Jayhawks' 6-3 loss to North Dakota State last week and went 6 for 11 with 59 yards passing. Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long have said the offense will be tailored to their quarterback's skill set. Webb, who has a pass-first mentality, does not know how much different the offense will look with him at the helm. "We don't have our entire game plan in yet, but I'm sure the coaches will have something ready," Webb said after Wednesday's practice. Perhaps the man most prepared to deal with an option-heavy opponent is Gill, who perfected the craft as a quarterback at Nebraska in the early '80s. Gill said there are similarities between the double option offense he ran as a Cornhusker and the triple option offense Georgia Tech now sports. "You're only going to have so many possessions on offense just because of their running attack," Gill said. "You're going to have less time on the clock. We definitely need to limit their big plays on offense." Senior cornerback Chris Harris had four tackles and one sack against the more traditional North Dakota State offense. Harris has seen numerous offenses during his 30 consecutive starts for the Jayhawks but nothing like Georgia Tech. "You have to beat Georgia Tech by being disciplined," Harris said. "Everybody is going to have a responsibility. A linebacker might have the quarterback this time. Somebody might be watching the pitch. You've got to stay disciplined; you can't try to be the hero. You have to stay focused on your job."

Ryan Wagoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com After going 1-1 in each of the past two weekends, the soccer team is looking for some consistency this weekend in Las Vegas. Kansas (2-2) will play Cal State Northridge (2-3) today and then face Oregon (2-1-2) on Sunday in the UNLV Nike Rebel Classic. The Jayhawks are not overlooking CSUN. Coach Mark Francis said the team has not even thought about Sunday's game; it is focusing on Friday. "Northridge is a very good team," Francis said. "They are going to present a real tough challenge for us." Francis was pleased with the team's performance in Illinois this past weekend. He said a few players lost focus at times, which allowed Illinois State to break down the defense and score two goals in the Jayhawks' loss. CSUN defeated Pepperdine 2-1 last weekend, which is the same score from Kansas' win against Pepperdine in last season's opener. Before the season started, Francis said he emphasized physicality in the middle and offensive thirds of the field. He liked how the midfield and forwards battled against Northwestern in Kansas' 2-1 victory. "We've made some progress in that area, the battling and the competing part," Francis said. This week the team is fine-tuning some of the problem areas, especially its focus. The layhawks have a few players who have been kept out with injuries, but have been working and practicing to get back in game shape. Francis hopes to get some of them back for this weekend. One player that is close to returning is senior midfielder Rachel Morris. Francis said she had been practicing this week and he'd like to play her as soon as she's ready. CRESSY RETURNS The team got some offensive firepower back last weekend when junior forward Emily Cressy took the field for the first time this season. Cressy was out for undisclosed reasons. Francis is glad to have her back. "She has a lot of confidence and a lot of composure on the ball," Francis said. "I think it's something we really needed up front." SEE SOCCER ON PAGE 4B COMMENTARY I would like to say that we could win this weekend and return to being a successful program. But this is Georgia Tech and we just aren't there yet. I love to root for the underdog, but I would, honestly, be happy if we just made it a competition. I'm not saying it's impossible for us to pull off a win — bigger upsets have happened — but I think that it would prove a lot if we could just keep it within a few touch-downs. It's been a tough week for Kansas Athletics. After football's loss to North Dakota State — made worse by the fact that rivals Missouri and Kansas State both won —, the departure of Lew Perkins and a game against No. 15 Georgia Tech looming on Saturday, it seems like this will be a week wed rather forget. And possibly the start of one of the seemingly longest football seasons in recent history. And we have a chance to do that. One thing that is good for any team is having a chip on its shoulder. There's nothing more motivational than "can't." When my mom told me that I couldn't have a cookie before dinner, I had to eat the whole jar. When some blond, plastic fashion expert tells me I can't wear white after Labor Day, I go out and buy the whitest pair of If I were going into a game knowing that everyone thought I couldn't keep up with a team, I would do everything in my power to beat my opponent. If I heard fans boo my efforts on the field, I would make sure I didn't give them an opportunity to do that again. I am not a teacher. I can only teach English, math, and science. Is there any other subject you can teach? We have quarterback issues. We have an uncertain offensive line and a brand new coaching staff, but we also have something to prove. And maybe I am giving too much credit to the underdog factor, but I do think it is an important one BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com jeans I can find to wear in the fall. "Can't" is the most motivational word in the English vocabulary. Right now, all we Jayhawk fans can do is hope that the mistakes we saw last Saturday were first game mistakes, even if they were against a FCS school like North Dakota State. And hope that our team straps on its gear tomorrow with something to prove.

The entire team will be present to meet fans and sign autographs. The Hawk Zone is located on the football practice field up the hill from Memorial Stadium and will open at 9 a.m. on Saturday. The Hawk Zone is children-oriented, with different stations to amuse younger fans before the games. The Jayhawks return seven letter-winners, including three starters, and welcome four new players. Kansas will start the new season with a pair of home exhibition matches on Oct. 31 and Nov.7 against Fort Hays State and Washburn. - Kathleen Gier Expect a loss, but have fun, too MORNING BREW I was worried about you, Kansas fans. I was worried that you might take last Saturday's loss and go into a funk. No one likes a morose Lawrence, except Missouri and Kansas State fans, so I called the only person I know who has experience with what you are all going through: my brother Mike Dwyer. His initials, M.D., far surpass his education, B.A., but they lend to his nickname "Doc," which is close to the role he hoped he would play for you. You see, Doc's college education came about 10 hours west of here in Boulder, Colo., and in his senior year, he saw current Colorado coach Dan Hawkins take the helm. Hawkins, like Turner Gill, lost his first game as coach in the Big 12. Also like Gill, he lost it in embarrassing fashion to an FCS (then-Division 1-AA) team from the seemingly endless wilderness a few states north and west of Kansas (Montana State, in that case). So, I called my brother up, and the first thing he said — before he even said hello — was "Man. I know how much that sucks." Or something vaguely similar to that. (1) BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Or something saggy similar. I went on about how Kansas fans would be in for a long season, going to every game with the knowledge, or at least the assumption, that the odds were stacked highly against them should the team perform as abysmally as it did Saturday. And I said, "Doc, I'm worried about my readers." And then Doc said something that surprised me. "No, no," he corrected me. "You're right, there probably won't be many wins. But you're looking at this all wrong. I had more fun that season than any of my others at CU." Naturally, I thought he was crazy. What? Come on. Losing can be more fun than winning. Where's the competitive spirit? THE MORNING BREW he then reminded me that he was a stud on the intramural dodgeball championship team that year, and that his competitive thirst was quenched through that pursuit. Then he offered advice. It is easy, he said, to give up hope and stop going to games and generally not care about the prospects of your football team. It is way more fun, though, to give up hope, keep going to games, cheer desperately for your football team, but expect a loss each week. If you win: awesome. Jubilation. Knock yourself out, be embarrassingly proud of getting a tally in the win column. Charge the field and take victory laps. That's what Colorado did. They won two games that year, against Iowa State and Texas Tech. When the final bell sounded, fans charged the field and hoisted then-quarterback Bernard Jackson onto their shoulders both times. Jackson, coincidentally, wore No. 7. There are two morals to this story, at least that I immediately picked up on. First, if you expect the worst, you can't get let down. That doesn't work for everything, but in this case, it's applicable. Second, booze helps. — Edited by Abby Davenport NCAA Kansas graduate Lauren Bonds, who participated in cross country and track and Bonds PETER BERTS held, is among the top 30 honores for the 2010 NCAA Woman of the Year award.

NBA — Kathleen Gier Coach takes on disappointed team and fans MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE CLEVELAND_ The drive from Cleveland Clinic Courts to the Ritz-Carlton is typically brief and mundane, Except for the night of July 8. While LeBron James was busy with his "Decision," Byron Scott had plenty of his own to make. The new coach of the Cavaliers was assembling a coaching staff, preparing for the summer league and temporarily staying at the posh hotel in downtown Cleveland. He had shut off the television in his office at the Cavaliers' facility a few minutes after lames said he was leaving and hadn't thought much more about it. Then he tried to get back to his hotel room. The James banner that covered the side of the Landmark Office Tower, across the street from Quicken Loans Arena, had suddenly become the target of Caws fans' venom. Scott drove by in awe at a line of police cars protecting the banner _ and the building _ as angry fans cursed, hurled rocks at and gave the finger to James' picture. ward position of balancing the bittersweet past with a painful present. Fans are still stunned and sick over James' departure. Interest in the Cavs is suddenly lower than it has been in at least seven years. Scott, the Los Angeles native with three Lakers championships, has arrived to the party as the janitor is folding up the chairs and sweeping away the confetti. Now, as he prepares to open his first training camp at the end of this month, Scott is in the awk- "I wasn't emotionally attached because I never coached LeBron," he said. "The people here had such an investment in him that I could understand their feelings. I think most people here felt like it was a kick in the teeth. I could totally Scott, 49, led the New Jersey Nets to consecutive Eastern Conference championships. He was the NBA's Coach of the Year two years ago with the New Orleans Hornets. understand that." Now he is faced with the difficult task of making basketball matter again in Cleveland. Soothing the hurt and bringing fans back to Quicken Loans Arena won't be easy. "The way we get the fans back is by what we do on the court," he said. "If we go out there and we play hard every single night and give 110 percent and they see that, they see the energy every night, it gives them hope of being a much better team from start to finish." than walking around the city you grew up in and people calling you champ." Scott said. "He lost all that. He'll probably win a championship or two, but coming back here, it won't be the same. No matter what he says right now, 20 years from now, he'll look back, and this is something he'll think about."

He knew full well that it was a risk, that there was no guarantee James was coming back. Scott could have waited another week for James to decide before choosing whether to take the job. Scott worked as an analyst at ESPN so it was his job to critique the Cavaliers' performance in their playoff loss to the Boston Celtics. He says the Cavaliers didn't quit; the Celtics were simply the better team. But he also knew the early exit meant Mike Brown had little chance of surviving. banff mountain film festival world tour The Banff Country Museum By Banff & Raeanne Hintz September 10 & 11, 2010 Liberty Hall 646 Massachusetts St. Tickets only $8.50 each night Show Starts At 7pm Hosted By SUNFLOWER OUTDOOR BIKES "As good a job as he had done, the bottom line here at that time was to win championships," Scott said. "I know first-hand, the coaches go first." Without James, the Cavaliers seem closer to rebuilding than winning, but Scott still believes he took the right job at the right time. Without James, the Cavaliers are viewed as hopeless. Dime Magazine recently compared the Cavaliers to the Toronto Raptors as the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. Scott points to Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison as former All-Stars, the growth in J.J. Hickson and the hustle of Anderson Varejao as reasons to believe the Cavaliers are still playoff contenders. He gets upset reading predictions of how awful they will be this year. The players do, too. "Damn right we get (mad)." Williams said. "But at the same time, we understand the reality of the situation. We lost a big piece."

A X COLLEGE FOOTBALL Heisman winner still not ready to play In listening to Penn State players talk this week about Alabama's running game, they made it clear they were treating running back Trent Richardson with the same respect as 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram. Ingram is likely out; coach Nick Saban said Wednesday he was "probably not going to be ready to play" against the 18th-ranked Nittany Lions as he continues to recover from left knee surgery That will come in handy for Saturday night's game between the two prestigious programs. "We'll continue to (monitor) him day-to-day," Saban said. "He hasn't had any swelling or problems. If he can continue to progress ... he might be ready by the game but he won't be able to practice enough." Ingram underwent an arthroscopic procedure on Aug. 31 to repair an injury suffered in practice the previous day. He was not at practice Wednesday during the time the media were allowed to watch, but he did some running the day before. The top-ranked Crimson Tide doesn't lose any speed with Richardson, who is on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week. The 5-foot-11, 224-pound sophomore, who gained 751 rushing yards and scored eight touchdowns last season as a backup, ran for 66 yards in 10 carries in Saturday night's opening win over San Jose State. However, the absence of Ingram doesn't necessarily mean the Lions are breathing more easily. 1. "He's a great back, real fast," Penn State defensive tackle Ollie Ogbu said. "He's just like Mark Ingram. There's really no difference. We'll have our hands full Saturday and hopefully we'll be up to the challenge." The Crimson Tide also will have redshirt freshman Eddie Lacy ready to give Richardson a rest. Lacy rushed for a team-high 111 yards Saturday night.

"We had a really good practice yesterday. We all kind of remember the feeling after Middle Tennessee," Hagan said. "So we're working really hard so we don't have to feel that again this weekend." The Jayhawks are already putting up good numbers this year. Kansas defense has limited opponents to an average attack percentage of .143 — which is exactly what the offense registered against MTSU in the first set of Tuesday's lost game. Meanwhile, Kansas is leading the Big 12 in aces per set, scoring an average of 2.11. In this category, four Jayhawks rank in the top ten: senior Melissa Manda, junior Allison Mayfield, sophomore Morgan Boub and freshman Caroline Jarmoc. The Jayhawks will have a chance to fine-tune their game at home this weekend as they host the Kansas Invitational and prepare for the start of conference play next week. Jayhawks get set for conference "It'll definitely be a little bit easier to get into more of a routine because then you have two days to prepare for one team instead of three," Kaiser said. "So, we'll just be able to focus more and not think, 'Oh, which team are we trying to scout, again?'" "We've got a group that obviously should know what the taste is in their mouth and how this feels and hopefully that'll motivate us," coach Ray Bechard said.

It's also a bit of Stoops family history. When Florida State plays at Oklahoma, it will be the first time any of the famed Stoops brothers face off in a game. Bob is the Sooners' coach, while Mark is the Seminoles' defensive coordinator. "It will be a little bit different," Arizona coach Mike Stoops told Rivals.com. "They both are my brothers and I have worked with both. ... A lot of people are talking about it." With Bobby Bowden having retired from FSU, Tommy Bowden no longer coaching following his ouster at Clemson in 2008 and Terry Bowden coaching at Division II North Alabama, the Stoops' clan now is the most famous college football family. And that's why this meeting is so special. "I talked to both of them this week," said Mike, who plays The Citadel this Saturday. "My mom will be at the game, and (Thursday was) Bob's 50th birthday. There will be a lot of emotions. I won't cheer for either one, but emotions will play a big part. "And, obviously, the team with the better defense will win." Figures. Defense has defined this family. The Stoops learned about playing tough, hard-nosed football growing up on the same block as former lightweight champion Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini in Youngstown, Ohio. PGA Kuchar in first despite no voice ASSOCIATED PRESS LEMONT, III. — Already having his best season, Matt Kuchar got off to his best start of the year Thursday in the BMW Championship. A mystery season for Tiger Woods took another unexpected turn. Ian Poulter of England, who has finished in the top 10 only once since winning the Match Play Championship in February, had a 66 for the best round of the afternoon despite opening with a double bogey. Kuchar, who won the opening FedEx Cup playoff event to position himself for the $10 million bonus, wasted no time putting his name atop the leaderboard. He finished with an 18-foot birdie putt for a 7-under 64 and a one-shot lead over Ryan Moore. Woods also started with a double bogey, but he never got those shots back. With one last bogey on the 18th hole, he wound up with a 73 to leave himself in a big hole as he tries to advance to the final stage of the playoffs in Atlanta. It was his highest round at Cog Hill since he opened with a 73 in the 2005 Western Open. It also ended a streak of 11 consecutive rounds in the 60s on the public course in the Chicago suburbs where he has won five times. Woods should be used to rough starts by now. His scoring average in the first round this year is 71.08, compared with 68.9 a year ago in the same tournaments. Even so, it was peculiar to hear him discuss how much ground he has to make up — not against Kuchar, but the finish he needs to get into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings and advance to the Tour Championship. "As of right now, I'm only five shots back out of that spot," Woods said. "That's not bad." Everything is good with Kuchar at the moment, except his voice. He is playing so well — a winner at The Barclays, a tourhigh 10 finishes in the top 10 this year — that there's really nothing left for him to say. Not that he had a choice. Kuchar has laryngitis and begged off a series of interviews, letting his score speak for itself. It was the second-best start of his career, and the 21st time in 23 events this year that he broke par in the opening round. "just keep playing," Kuchar said to one question he felt good enough to answer. "I was driving it well. I was actually doing everything well. It felt very good. Last week was a little bit suspect, and this week I kind of figured some stuff out." Something clicked for Moore when he least expected it. Dressed in a black sweater and white golf shirt, with a tie hung loosely around his neck. Moore was 1 over for the round and in a bunker on the 11th. He held that out for birdie, hit 3-iron to 5 feet for birdie, and after a par, finished with five straight birdies- "I certainly wasn't expecting to do that," Moore said. "I hit a horrible tee shot on 11 with an even worse lay-up, and then I hit a terrible shot from there into a bunker and then holed out. I don't know. Just got a little positive momentum going from there." Poulter had to find some quickly. He hit his opening tee shot to the right on the 10th hole, put his approach into a front bunker and then caught that clean and sent it over the green. He missed a 4-foot putt and took double bogey, although it helped that it's about a 250-yard walk to the next tee. "Nice first round," he said. "Not a very nice first hole, mind you." Retief Goosen and Charlie Wi were at 67, while the group at 68 included Dustin Johnson, Luke Donald and Justin Rose.

Kevin Durant made sure it was kept. And by beating Russia on Thursday, the Americans brought a little joy to one of the players who will never forget what happened against the Soviets exactly 38 years earlier. No player on the young American team is old enough to remember that game — many are barely old enough to remember the Cold War. But Mike Bantom, the NBA's senior vice president of player development, played on that U.S. team and is in Turkey with the Americans. Durant ensured there would be no worries at the finish of this one, shooting 11 of 19 while just missing Carmelo Anthony's world championship team record of 35 points, in 2006. "I told him today, 'I know nothing's going to bring that back, man, but at least we'll try to make you at least smile today,' " Billups said. "And he was like, 'Yeah, that'd be nice.'" The victory came on the anniversary of the Soviet Union's win over the Americans for the 1972 Olympic gold medal, a game with an ending so controversial the U.S. players refused to accept their silver medals. Durant scored 33 points to lead the United States to an 89-79 victory that moved it within two wins of its first world basketball championship since 1994. "We're going to go to him," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "I've learned in coaching you should get your best player the ball." ASSOCIATED PRESS The U.S. will play Saturday against Lithuania, which beat Argentina 104-85. Host Turkey and Serbia will play in the other semifinal. The U.S. and Russia have met many times since 1972, including a U.S. victory 16 years ago in Toronto that gave the Americans their last world championship. And there isn't much of a rivalry anymore between the nations — the NBA even opened an office in Moscow on Thursday. ASSOCIATED PRESS USA's Kevin Durant celebrates after scoring a basket against Russia during the quarterfinal round at the World Basketball Championship, Thursday in Istanbul, Turkey. Durant scored 33 points in the USA's 89-79 victory. NFL McDaniels gives 0-line overhaul ASSOCIATED PRESS Denver Broncos coach Josh McDaniels insists it wasn't Moreno's fault. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Knowshon Moreno, the first tailback selected in last year's NFL draft, never seemed to find a rhythm as a rookie, falling repeatedly to move the chains in shortyardage situations. He defended his first-ever draft pick by suggesting "we had some linemen up front that aren't here anymore that were light, weak, old," an unusually candid criticism of former Broncos Ben Hamilton and Casey Wiegmann, especially considering the Broncos will face both of them this season. A lot was made of McDaniels beefing up his defensive line with the free agent additions of Jamal Williams, Justin Bannan and Jarvis Green — who was waived last week — but the Broncos also bulked up their offensive line this offseason. Although Moreno rushed for 947 yards and seven touchdowns and caught 28 passes for 213 yards and two TDs his rookie season, he repeatedly came up short in short-yardage, and his per-carry average was a run-of-the-mill 3.8 yards. McDaniels' power-based scheme. McDaniels made his remarks about his former linemen while discussing his first draft class in a recent interview with The Associated Press. He said he expected more out of that group this season, including pass-rusher Robert Ayers, tight end Richard Quinn and also Moreno, the University of Georgia star who was taken with the 12th overall pick. "... we had some linemen up front that aren't here anymore that were light, weak, old ..." Even last year, McDaniels placed the blame on his offensive line, which was a hybrid of both systems as the Broncos moved away from the synchronized movement of the zone-blocking scheme to the man-on-man power method that McDaniels prefers. Both are on the smaller side nowadays as NFL linemen typically top 300 pounds. Both were good fits in the Broncos' old zoneblocking system but not so much in Walton and Beadles are both 305 pounds and Daniels is 320. JOSH MCDANIELS Denver Broncos Coach McDaniels drafted guard/tackle Zane Beadles of Utah in the second round and center J.D. Walton of Baylor in the third round. Both are slated to start Sunday at Jacksonville along with guard Stanley Daniels, who was claimed off waivers from Green Bay this year. Hamilton, 33, who signed with Seattle, weighs 290 pounds. Wiegmann, 37, who returned to Kansas City in the offseason, weighs 285. Asked if Moreno's health had anything to do with his struggles in short yardage last year — he injured a knee on his first series of the preseason last year — McDaniels said, "I think he was fine." "Again, he ran for 950 yards or whatever it was and split time with another back (Correll Buckhalter), you know," McDaniels said. "And we had some linemen up front that aren't here anymore that were light, weak, old, and he made some of the most spectacular 1- and 2-yard runs you'll ever see in the NFL, so hopefully we can get him started and get him going a little better this year." Hamilton, whose Seahawks visit Denver next week, refused to comment on McDaniels' quote. REINFORCED 1. Bring your talent 2. Bring your best self 3. Bring your résumé 4.

He wears a green fly-fishing jacket, which holds everything he needs — a few markers and a notebook. His arms move quickly and deliberately, like a teacher at a chalkboard. He draws simple figurines, as if the walls were just a giant comic strip. Somehow, a clear message comes through. 8 Periiovschi is the artist-in-residence at the Spencer Museum of Art. He has been drawing in the central court of the museum for almost two weeks now, creating walls of statements and observations through cartoon-looking, graffiti-style art. His exhibit, Dan Periiovschi Central Court, will officially open Thursday and run until Feb. 6, 2011. His artwork will stay on the walls until the end of the exhibit. "I have my own language," Dan Perjovschi said. "These are my words, and I recombine them into new phrases." Periiovschi mixes political messages with simple observations of life. One of his favorite and recurring drawings depicts a man in a business suit pointing and yelling at a young skateboarder. The speech bubble coming from the man in the business suit reads "I was at Woodstock". "It's not conventional art," Rachel Schmidt, a freshman from Paola, said as she looked up at the walls of the Spencer. "It's just true, he puts things in a way that can relate to." It is that connection that Dan looks for. He said that everything he writes or draws, we have all thought about at some point. He said he has just trained himself to capture those thoughts in his notebook. Walls have always been a part of Perijovski's life. He was born in 1961 in the city of Sibiu, Romania, the same year the Berlin Wall was erected. Perijovski said living in communist Romania was a life of restrictions. The government controlled all sources of information, blocking what Perijovski starved for. He said he survived some of the worst dictatorial regimes of communist Romania where there "It was a culture of missing." Periwoski said. There would be periods where his family had no milk or bread. His working-class parents somehow managed to send all three of their children to universities, where Periovschi studied painting. "It is new all the time," Lia said. "We had a common idea to do what we want, a kind of ambition to contribute to our context." While there, he started a sort of underground art project with his wife, Lia, whom he met at a special art school when they were 10 years old. was no freedom to travel or read certain books.

The firm provides career to the pro- viders Consumer information Guide We will be able to see you on 1 COLUMN 3 36 81 36 Put loss in the past and aim for uniformity B Before we start pointing fingers at Kansas' less than stellar performance against North Dakota State last Saturday, let's remember one thing: Coach Turner Gill never said things would be pretty. Heck, he never said this team would even win, let alone accomplish that feat in a beautiful mind-altering fashion. However, none of us had expected the high rate of errors and overall lack of consistency that bore in its season opener. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Introduced as Mark Mangino's successor last December, Gill landed in Lawrence with expectations loftier than most, expectations that now seem to be deemed unrealistic. Maybe it was the way Gill wooed a fan-base that had been left in shambles after the 2009 debacle that was the Todd Reesing and friends' farewell tour. Or perchance it was Jayhawk fans expecting a refocused and more team-oriented approach. Whatever our reasoning for placing optimistically high hopes upon Gill and his newly reformed roster, those hopes were unfortunately shattered when the team took the field without surnames on their uniforms, a first since 1981. The idea was to show a AARON BERLIN Guest columnist team that was "program first." Unfortunately, Big Jay was the only Jayhawk that actually decided to show up this season. For most of the first half Kansas fans found themselves watching an entirely different team than Mangino's star-studded, pass-first attack. Instead, fans observed a Division I football team struggle to grasp the concept of having eleven players on the field for special teams and a team that struggled all evening to simply catch the ball. Saturday night Kale Pick became the first man not named Reesing to start at quarterback since Kerry Meier back in 2006. Pick showed his inexperience early on. Not only did he appear unprepared, he at times looked confused by the defensive packages the Bison were throwing at him, and unsure of himself. The Jayhawk offensive line, perhaps the most highly touted facet returning this season, allowed a frustrating four sacks by game's end. It also struggled to keep North Dakota States' pass-rushers from maneuvering into the backfield and hurrying the aforementioned Pick. This caused throws to go too wide or miss altogether, never allowing Pick and the rest of his offensive line to get in any kind of rhythm Looking forward to this week's game against Georgia Tech it's easy to sit back and harp on the mishaps that occurred against NDSU. The real challenge will be continuing to support Gill and his staff as they change the atmosphere of this program. With Joshua Nesbitt and Georgia Tech visiting this week, Gill's and the rest of Jayhawk's best bet is to forget last week's misfortunes and attempt to find a method of team uniformity by season end. After all, without Reeing and friends roaming the sidelines, it's the only way this program will succeed.

Though they struggled to pass and take care of the ball, the Wildcats prevailed on the strength of their defense and ground game. ASSOCIATED PRESS 8 Despite an alarming number of fumbles (two) and sacks of the quarterback (six), the victory showed the character of K-State and served as a good start to the season. "Wins are hard to come by,"said head coach Bill Snyder. "I do not care if you are the coach, the quarterback or the water guy. They are hard to come by, and they are important and good for everyone involved." Snyder said he liked the way the defense responded to adverse situations. One instance he mentioned in particular was when K-State gave up a late touchdown on a 29-yard zinger from UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince to receiver Ricky Marvay with 1:19 remaining in the game to cut K-State's advantage to a mere two points. However, the Wildcats did not allow the two-point conversion. Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas is tackled by UCLA safety Tony Dye and linebacker Akeem Ayers and defensive back Ryan Sublett during the second half of the game Saturday, Sept. 4, in Manhattan. "There is some character there." Snyder said. "That takes more than just being a good football player. We have all been faced with adversities in our life, but it is how you respond to tough times that tells what kind of individual you are. That is what I was proud of our defensive football team for." Captain and junior linebacker Alex Hrebec led the team with 12 tackles. The number is one thing, but to watch Hrebec in the game is a much better measure of what a great defender he is. On a punt return, UCLA junior Josh Smith broke loose for a 43-yard run, and he might have broken loose for more had Hrebec not hauled a good 50 yards down the field to back up defensive back Tysyn Hartman and drag Smith down. The secondary and defensive line also made life very difficult for Prince and his receivers. Junior defensive backs David Garrett and Terrance Sweeney had an interception apiece and combined for five pass breakups and nine tackles. "We knew they would have a height advantage, so we had to be physical against them," Sweeney said. "We had to keep hitting them and keep hitting them and then get to the ball." pretty good idea of what they were going to do. It comes down to execution, and fortunately it got the job done." On the offense, passes came few and far between, but the running game did not disappoint. Although 313 yards rushing and 64 yards passing does not reflect the balance Snyder likes, nobody was complaining about that Saturday. Senior running back Daniel Thomas gained ground in his strong yet smooth style for two lengths of the football field and then some, furthering his reputation as the best running back in the Big 12 Conference and maybe in the country. "Daniel is such a quiet young guy," Snyder said. "Most of you have interviewed him and he doesn't have much to say, but he plays so hard. Second, third, fourth effort, that is just his way. I am awfully proud of him." Adding to Thomas' 234-yard contribution was senior running back William Powell, who got his first touchdown amid six carries for 72 yards — not bad for his first game back from injury. Powell credits Thomas with elevating the team as a whole and also him personally. "Daniel gets the whole team excited," Powell said. "I see him making plays, and that just makes me want to play that much harder. When he comes out and I go in, I don't want there to be any discrepancy. I want to get in there and be able to produce just like he does." THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 10,2010 IOWA STATE CYCLONES Quarterback leads strong offense in open By Jake Lovett Iowa State Daily In Iowa State's 27-10 win over Northern Illinois last Thursday night, the ISU offense had 403 total vards. A big reason — maybe even the biggest — the offense was so successful was the play of senior quarterback Austen Arnaud. At coach Paul Rhoads' weekly news conference Monday, he addressed the quarterback's improved play in the opener. "He did a great job of executing and running the offense, he did a nice job of running the football." Rhoads said. "I'm very pleased with Austen's first performance." During the 2009 season, Arnaud completed 58.7 percent of his passes, good for eighth in the Big 12. Arnaud was 27-of-36 passing for 265 yards Thursday night, but did throw two interceptions. "He threw two bad interceptions, and they were bad decisions on his part," Rhoads said, "but he threw for 75 percent accuracy with 36 thrown balls, which is something he didn't do a year ago." Arnaud tweaked his throwing motion during the offseason, which he said may have led to the increase in completions. Arnaud and running back Alexander Robinson also had a great deal of success running zone read plays Thursday night. On the play, Arnaud takes a snap in the shotgun and then either hands the ball off to Robinson or keeps it himself and runs straight ahead. "It's just the look the defense gives me, most of the time reading a defensive end or a linebacker," Arnaud said. "A lot of that has to do with the running back pressing the line and seeing the cut as the line develops it." Robinson rushed for 97 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown out of the zone read, and Arnaud had 45 yards. He also had a 53-yard touchdown run in the first quarter that was called back due to an illegal-formation penalty. Arnaud would later get a rushing score on a 2-yard run on a read play. T TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS Tuberville happy with team despite close first game By Mike Graham The Daily Toreador Head football coach Tommy Tuberville said he had not been sleeping very well leading up to the Red Raiders' season-opening game against SMU Sunday. While acknowledging there is still a lot of work to be done if Tech is going to be the team he believes it can be, the new head coach said he was looking forward to sleeping Sunday evening after his football team defeated SMU 35-27. "I'm proud to be part of this team," Tuberville said during his postgame conference as the Goin' Band From Raiderland could be heard still performing in celebration of the victory. Tuberville's first game as the head coach was not always smooth sailing. SMU had the chance to tie the game on its final possession of the game thanks in part to Tech's botched fourth-and-one conversion attempt from its own 34-yard line with about 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Taylor Potts appeared as if he was set up to run a quarterback sneak under center Justin Keown but the snap was mishandled and Tech lost two yards. SMU scored a touchdown and brought the game back within one possession thanks to that play. "We're not an every down snap underneath the center and the quarterback" Tuberville said. "It wasn't anybody's fault but mine. I put us in a situation where it should have been a no-brainer. We should have lined up and punted the ball." But all the other Red Raiders came to Tuberville's defense. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN $199.99 with 2-year wireless service agreement on voice and minimum $15/mo data plan required.

Poor defensive effort from Cornhuskers By Dan Hoppen The Daily Nebraskan Amid the swirl of excitement surrounding Taylor Martinez's magical debut, it was easy to overlook something that most Husker fans now take for granted. Nebraska's defense didn't play to the same level as last year. Not even close. Not that it should have right away, anyway. It was the first game of the year, and the Huskers were replacing five graduated starters, not including the losses of Will Compton and Sean Fisher to injuries. Still, when coach Bo Pelini claims that this year's defense will upstage last year's, the expectations are going to be high. Speaking of Pelini, he was less than enthused with his unit's effort. "I thought overall defensively it was an absolute embarrassment," Pelini said. "I thought it was coached poorly, and that starts with me. I didn't like anything we did defensively. "I mean, there were a couple things that we did OK, but we didn't play up to our standard." The Huskers gave up 179 rushing yards, more than they gave up in any one game last season. Western Kentucky's Bobby Rainey had 155 yards, the most any running back has rushed for since Pelini becameNU's coach. Some of the responsibility falls on the starting linebackers, Lavonte David and Alonzo Whaley. David led NU with 13 tackles, but Pelini he's still has work to do. "I think Lavonte David made a lot of mistakes," he said, "as did most of our other guys." David said he agreed with Pelini's assessment. "Yeah, most of it was our fault," David said. "Everybody knew what we had to be, but we had to step up. A lot of people weren't hearing us." The highlight for the Blackshirts was a fumble forced by DeJon Gomes just before Rainey crossed the goal line in the third quarter. Rainey sprinted 46 yards up the middle before Gomes caught him from behind. The ball popped out in the end zone, where it was recovered by Eric Hagg. "It's just a part of our culture, which is effort," Gomes said. "You see a guy running, and I'm pretty sure I and a lot of my teammates chase him down just so we can get that next-play opportunity and maybe get a three-and-out or a field goal on the board, just trying to make another play. "I had the opportunity, and I was just going for the tackle, but the ball came out, too." Without that fumble, the Hilltoppers would have had another seven points, which would have given them more than any NU non-conference opponent last year. But it's just one game. The Huskers had five players making their first career start, including both starting linebackers, depended upon to make calls and direct the rest of the defense. And the team that had the most rushing yards against NU last year? That would be Arkansas State, another overmatched early-season opponent. "It's the first game," Pelini said. "I've seen a lot of good things defensively through camp. I think we're going to be a good defense." TEXAS LONGHORNS Texas faces strengths and weaknesses By Laken Litman The Daily Texan Cody Johnson sprained his ankle on the second play of Saturday's game but didn't tell the coaches until after the final whistle because he wanted to play. "I asked him why he didn't tell us, and he said, I've worked too hard to be the starter and I don't want to lose it," head coach Mack Brown said of Johnson. 23 Johnson didn't want to appear weak. But as his ankle swelled throughout the game, it was harder for him to plant, cut and take advantage of goal line situations — like the one on the Longhorns' opening drive where Johnson was dropped back for a loss of four yards on fourth and inches from inside the one. Because of Johnson's injury and sophomore Tre' Newton scoring three touchdowns Saturday, Newton has earned the No. 1 spot on the depth chart this week. If Johnson hadn't been hurt, Brown isn't sure if Newton would be starting against Wyoming this week or not. "It's hard to say because [Johnson] only played two healthy plays," Brown said. "I appreciate the fact that he tried to be so tough. Most players will tell you pretty fast [that they're injured]." ASSOCIATED PRESS Brown liked the way his trio of running backs played and noted that Saturday was the first game since 2005 — the year Texas won the National Championship — that he had three backs run for more than 50 yards each (Johnson had 63, Newton had 61 and Fozzy Whittaker had 51). To run or to pass? That is the question The Longhorns want to be better at the end of the year than at the beginning, so a playbook dump of chiseled passing plays in the season opener might have ruined their chances. Brown wants to build upon his team's weaknesses before showing off all of its strengths. "The message seems to be we're going to line up in a wishbone and run it every play," Brown said. "We're not. We want to run it better. We will be balanced. We'll try to be 50-50, run and pass. We were not Saturday, but that's what we're working on." The reason Texas ran for the majority of their offensive plays on Saturday was to experiment with the ground game because Rice was a team they could take risks against. The Longhorns' running game is not as advanced as their passing game, which is why they're working on it more. Texas running back Ire' Newton jumps between Rice defenders during the first half of a game Saturday, Sept. 4, in Houston. Texas won 34-17. Thickening the defensive line Defensive Coordinator Will Muschamp has talked about strengthening the inside of his defensive line in the tackle position next to veteran Kheeston Randall since last spring, but he still doesn't have his go-to guy. Junior Tyrell Higgins, sophomore Alex Okafor and redshirt freshman Calvin Howell will rotate in next to Randall by committee because they have not yet separated themselves from one another. "I don't think there's anybody distancing themselves through the production of the first game," Muschamp said. "I'd prefer to have a guy step up, but we don't have that right now. I do think we're getting positive production, so I'm not disappointed. There's just not enough of a difference in those three guys right now." To add some leadership and experience to the mix, Muschamp will add defensive end Sam Acho to the inside for a number of snaps. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 10,2010 V 3A ce n w e shift digital energy saturday.

He wears a green fly-fishing jacket, which holds everything he needs — a few markers and a notebook. His arms move quickly and deliberately, like a teacher at a chalkboard. He draws simple figurines, as if the walls were just a giant comic strip. Somehow, a clear message comes through. Periovschi is the artist-in-residence at the Spencer Museum of Art. He has been drawing in the central court of the museum for almost two weeks now, creating walls of statements and observations through cartoon-looking, graffiti-style art. His exhibit, Dan Periovschi Central Court, will officially open Thursday and run until Feb. 6, 2011. His artwork will stay on the walls until the end of the exhibit. "I have my own language," Dan Perjovschi said. "These are my words, and I recombine them into new phrases." Periovschi mixes political messages with simple observations of life. One of his favorite and recurring drawings depicts a man in a business suit pointing and yelling at a young skateboarder. The speech bubble coming from the man in the business suit reads "I was at Woodstock". "It's not conventional art," Rachel Schmidt, a freshman from Paola, said as she looked up at the walls of the Spencer. "It's just true, he puts things in a way that can relate to." It is that connection that Dan looks for. He said that everything he writes or draws, we have all thought about at some point.

Last year's work followed an impressive sophomore season, when Washington rushed for more than 1,000 yards and 17 touchdowns, just one shy of Missouri's single-season record. The Raymore, Mo., native was primed to lead the Tiger backfield for his third straight season, but the suspension put that duty in the hands of his backups. Sophomore Kendall Lawrence and junior De'Vion Moore will look to shoulder the load in Saturday's season opener. Missouri receiver T.J. Mee rambles up field after a reception during the fourth quarter of a game against Illinois Saturday, Sept. 4, in St. Louis. Wisconsin won the game 23-13. Coach Gary Pinkel said he's put the loss of Washington behind him and is confident in the switches at running back. Lawrence was the clear No. 2 tailback throughout training camp, making him the new No. 1 going into the 2010 season. Despite being a year younger and seeing slightly less action than Moore in 2009, the sophomore is listed at the top spot. But with Moore now recovering from a recent big toe injury, both of them will be getting carries in game one. ASSOCIATED PRESS "We move them over, move them out, and there are no excuses;" Pinkel said. "When you have a situation like this, other teammates have to pick it up and play at a different level." Pinkel was unclear as to whom the go-to back will be, noting the skills Lawrence and Moore each bring to the table. "You mature so much in your second year, and I think (Lawrence) is a very talented player," he said. "DeVion has more experience than he does, but I think they will both do a great job." Rounding out the tailback position on the Tiger depth chart are freshmen Henry Josey and Marcus Murphy. The third- and fourthstring backs have a lot in common: Both are undersized (each is listed at 5-foot-9, 180 pounds), both are Texas natives and neither has played in a college game. The rookies have learned fast though, competing in practice and putting up strong numbers in the scrimmages. Josey recorded a carry and a reception in each of the three scrimmages, and Murphy racked up 55 receiving yards on two receptions in the second scrimmage. Now at the No. 3 tailback spot, Josey hopes his quickness can earn him some playing time. But the former all-district high school running back knows he has to earn it. "I would love to play this year," Josey said. "It's at the top of my list. There are great competitors, so every day you have to come out ready to roll. I'm just getting ready to be quick out there." Although the loss of Washington bumped Josey up a spot on the tailback list, the suspension of his close friend left him rattled. But the freshman knows his senior mentor will get through his situation. Junior quarterback Blaine Gabbert is also confident his team will work through the recent problems. "We have to fight through it," Gabbert said. "Things are going to happen to this football team, but we're going to bounce back and fight on." TEXAS A&M AGGIES Aggies thirst for victory not quenched by win The Battalion By Austin Meek In a statistically impressive showing by both the offensive and defensive units, the Aggies' 48-7 win over Stephen F. Austin University featured a heavy rotation of freshmen players such as left tackle Luke Joeckel and tight end Nehemiah Hicks as well as a huge game by sophomore receiver Ryan Swope. {"The offensive line] played really well" senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson said. "Luke played a heck of a game for his first game, and I think Matt Allen and Evan Eike had great games inside...I know we're going to try to stress the downward running game...I think our backs and our o-line are really kind of jelling together to find that synergy to run the ball well." Johnson put up numbers in keeping with his Heisman candidate billing, accounting for 328 yards of total offense and three touchdowns. The synergy Johnson was referring to is evident throughout the whole team. If you ask one guy about an impressive personal feat, he's always deferring the praise to his teammates. That kind of selfless attitude is characteristic of this football team and further proves the unity and humility of the squad. "The receivers did a great job," Swope, who hauled in 13 catches for 106 yards, said. "EZ [Nwachukwu] and Jeff [Fuller] and Terrence [McCoy] all did their job and they did a great job. Without them I wouldn't have gone anywhere, so I give all the credit to those receivers and linemen doing their jobs and blocking downfield." Fuller made his own mark on the game, registering four receptions for 47 yards and two touchdowns. His scoring grabs brought his career total up to 18, one shy of Bob Long's 42-year old mark for career receiving touchdowns. He believes that this pass-catching corps possesses enough talent to rewrite the record books. "I feel like we're one of the strongest receiving corps ever to come through this school," Fuller said. "But we've still got a lot more to accomplish. The records are great and you know that's definitely something we'd love to accomplish, but we still need to continue to improve and get better." One of the biggest question marks coming into Saturday's game was the Aggies' lack of experience at important positions, most notably the left tackle spot. Nine freshmen saw playing time against SFA, and Head Coach The defense performed admirably in the first game of defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter's newly implemented 3-4 system. The Aggies limited SFA to just seven points and 266 total yards, allowing a scant 31 yards to the Lumberjack running game. Sophomore cornerback Dustin Harris registered the first defensive points in 21 games when he returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown. Mike Sherman was pleased with some of the performances. "I thought that both freshman tackles, Jake Matthews and Luke Joeckel, did a nice job," Sherman said. "Both kids are very coachable and they know the mistakes they made and they fixed them and they get better as the game went along." Freshman tight end Nehemiah Hicks was another first year player to see the field. "For him to be a freshman and as big as he is and block as well as he does and have those soft hands, I mean he's going to be a really good player," Johnson said. Louisiana Tech is next on the schedule for the Agjies. "They're aggressive," Johnson said. "They come after you, they play man, they bump your receivers, they get in your face. So we think we have some ways we can combat that." THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 10,2010 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN $19999 with 2-year wireless service agreement on voice and minimum $15/mo data plan required.

The more than 42,000 Baylor faithful in attendance knew what it meant in the Bears' 34-3 win over Sam Houston State; Griffin is back to prime form. ASSOCIATED PRESS DAYLON 10 President Ken Starr runs with the Baylor Line before the game. "I knew it was going to come, and I bounced up just like I said I would," Griffin said. "It felt so good to be back in the atmosphere of a football game." Baylor's quarterback Robert Griffin throws for a short pass over San Houston State's Chuck Obi during an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Sept. 4, in Waco, Texas. In the first quarter Griffin dashed to the right side for 15 yards before being brought down, rising back up to the crowd's ovation. He finished that same drive with a 30-yard scamper into the end zone, pushing Baylor ahead 14-0. Griffin completed 19 of 36 pass attempts for 242 yards, and the defense held the Bearkats scoreless for three quarters as the Bears began their season on a winning note. While the offense struck early, the Bears defensive effort proved equally effective and kept Sam Houston State from breaching midfield until three minutes remained in the first quarter. Plugging running lanes and shutting down receivers has become easier for the Bears in 2010, especially considering the speed added to the depth chart. "I couldn't get any tackles tonight. Every play I got a good break, I was trying to get downhill, but I couldn't get there because our [defensive ends] are so fast," senior safety Tim Attimison said. Redshirt freshman defensive end Tevin Elliot led all Baylor tacklers with 7.5 tackles. Despite several Baylor chances late in the game, the Bearkats kept the Bears out of the end zone for the final 27 minutes. Griffin and head coach Art Bries both admitted the offense struggled for much of the third and fourth quarter, but both remained confident in the Bears' ability to execute its future game plans. "As the game progressed a little bit ... I think we had some stuff we knew we should be getting and did not get, and then consequently we just needed to relax a little bit and play and be a little more patient," Briles said. Briles had more looks planned for his offense, but Sam Houston State prevented them after winning the possession battle with more than 35 minutes of offense After reviewing film, Briles also said he felt the team lacked running production. The final score read 200 yards on 25 rushes, but four of those attempts went for more than 20 yards each. "Sometimes it is frustrating because you know the game plan changes when they load the box like that," said running back Jared Salubi. "But with the talented running back crew that we do have, we kind of like a challenge like that." Overall, the game allowed the Bears to continue working on its on-field cohesion as the team faces more difficult upcoming opponents. While Buffalo looks to consistently use fewer players in the box than Sam Houston State, the change in strength will further challenge Baylor. "It is hard to feel challenged sometimes in football games, and that is the good part about this week." Briles said. "We will feel challenged, we will be challenged and we will have to step our game up to come out with a 'W'." STATE OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS Cowboys still have high expectations By Alec Schimke The Daily O'Collegian Last August, former players Zac Robinson and Andrew Lewis graced the cover of Sports Illustrated. The seventh-ranked Cowboys were pegged as BCS contenders heading into the 2009 season and lofty expectations brought national attention, setting Stillwater abuzz when No.15 Georgia came to town for the season opener. Led by a veteran core, experts foresaw the Cowboys as a legitimate threat to Big 12 powerhouses, Texas and Oklahoma, for conference supremacy. Last year's team was not short on big name players either. Running back Kendall Hunter, wide receiver Dez Bryant, offensive tackle Russell Okung and defensive back Perrish Cox were popular preseason All-American picks. Fast forward to this season and uncertainty is the main headline hovering around Boone Pickens Stadium as opening weekend approaches. Only Hunter returns from the group above and after losing a conference-high 15 starters, the national media has labeled the Cowboys as underdogs in 2010. The team's expectations remain high nonetheless. "We won nine games last year and we want to win nine or more games this year," quarterback Brandon Weeden said. Weeden, 26, enters his fourth year in the program, after seeing limited action behind Robinson last season. Like many other new starters this year, Weeden will have big shoes to fill. One of the experienced players on defense is senior defensive back Andrew McGee, who recorded 32 tackles last season, which ranks second among returning players. "People look down on us because we are young, but we don't," he said. Coach Mike Gundy is also optimistic regarding the team's new look. "These guys have paid a price." Gundy said. "They have worked extremely hard. They worked hard in the spring and they worked very hard in the summer on their own. We have had good practices in the preseason, so they have earned the right to win." Participate in a Clinical Study. Spare time?

He wears a green fly-fishing jacket, which holds everything he needs — a few markers and a notebook. His arms move quickly and deliberately, like a teacher at a chalkboard. He draws simple figurines, as if the walls were just a giant comic strip. Somehow, a clear message comes through. "I have my own language," Dan Perjovski said. "These are my words, and I recombine them into new phrases." Periiovschi is the artist-in-residence at the Spencer Museum of Art. He has been drawing in the central court of the museum for almost two weeks now, creating walls of statements and observations through cartoon-looking, graffiti-style art. His exhibit, Dan Periovschi Central Court, will officially open Thursday and run until Feb. 6, 2011. His artwork will stay on the walls until the end of the exhibit. Perijovschi mixes political messages with simple observations of life. One of his favorite and recurring drawings depicts a man in a business suit pointing and yelling at a young skateboarder. The speech bubble coming from the man in the business suit reads "I was at Woodstock". "It's not conventional art," Rachel Schmidt, a freshman from Paola, said as she looked up at the walls of the Spencer. "It's just true, he puts things in a way that can relate to." 5 It is that connection that Dan looks for. He said that everything he writes or draws, we have all thought about at some point. He said he has just trained himself to capture those thoughts in his notebook. Walls have always been a part of Perjovski's life. He was born in 1961 in the city of Sibiu, Romania, the same year the Berlin Wall was erected. Perjovschi said living in communist Romania was a life of restrictions. The government controlled all sources of information, blocking what Perjovschi starved for. He said he survived some of the worst dictatorial regimes of communist Romania where there "It was a culture of missing," Periwojschi said. was no freedom to travel or read certain books. While there, he started a sort of underground art project with his wife, Lia, whom he met at a special art school when they were 10 years old. "It is new all the time," Lia said. "We had a common idea to do what we want, a kind of ambition to contribute to our context." There would be periods where his family had no milk or bread. His working-class parents somehow managed to send all three of their children to universities, where Periwschi studied painting. Because of censorship in Romania, each of Dan's art shows went through three different censorship committees before the public could see it. So, he began private CENTRAL COURT Dan Perivoschi's "Central Court" exhibit will officially open Thursday night. Perivoschi will speak at 5 p.m. at the SMA Auditorium inside the museum. The exhibit will run from Thursday to Feb. 6, 2011. 2 showings in his loft in Bucharest. Then, in 1990, Perjovschi helped begin and run the first independent magazine in Romania called "Revista 22," named after a key date in the Romanian revolution: Dec. 22, 1989. SEE ARTS ON PAGE 3A --- 6B/SP GAME DAY AT A GLANCE The Kansas football team will be heavy underdogs when the potent Georgia Tech offense visits Lawrence at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets, ranked fifteenth in the nation in the Associated Press' most recent poll, run the famed triple option that is a trademark of their coach Paul Johnson. Junior tight end Tim Biere's size, hands and deceptive speed make him one of the few legitimate NFL PLAYER TO WATCH prospects on the Kansas roster, but his performance against North Dakota State was hard to watch. As a pass catcher, Pike encumbered Biere resembled Biere lineman more than a tight end, dropping three passes and fumbling twice. Fans and pro scouts alike will have their eyes on the junior this Saturday. QUESTION MARKS When will the defense allow its first touchdown of the season? An impressive goal line stop against the North Dakota State offense prevented the Bison from scoring a touchdown in their only true opportunity last Saturday. But nobody will mistake the Bison offense with the option frenzy that is Georgia Tech. The question is not really if the Jayhawks will allow a touchdown this weekend but when. Still, if they can do enough damage control and force a Georgia Tech team that had only two completions last week to throw the ball, they should keep the game within reach for the offense. BY THE NUMBERS 9 The combined points scored by Kansas and North Dakota State last Saturday, the fewest in a Kansas football game since a 7-2 victory against Missouri in 1972. 25-140-2 Kansas' record all-time against ranked teams in the Associated Press poll. Kansas (0-1) There is only one way for the offense to go up. Whether they will take that step Saturday remains to be seen. The quarterback situation is in turmoil, with freshman Jordan Webb starting this week after sophomore Kale Pick started last week. Freshman running back Deshaun Sands is highly questionable with a leg injury. And the BARRY BOSS Webb offense could not muster a touchdown against their FCS opponent last week. Someone must step up and become the leader of the offense still looking to replace three legends. DEFENSE Although they only surrendered six points Although they only sum against the Bison last Saturday, the defense feels there is room for improvement. The Jayhawks linebackers, led last week by Steven Johnson's nine tackles, will have their work cut out preparing for the Georgia Tech offense. which gave 12 different players carries in their 41-10 victory against South Carolina State last Saturday. Johnson D. JOHNSON --- Senior kicker Jacob Branstetter will try to rebound from a poor performance against North Dakota State. He missed two field goals against the Bison and has already missed a third of all of his misses last season (13-for-19 in 2009). Though his surrendered blocked punt last Saturday did not lead to any Bison points, a similar Branstetter SALON HARRISON SPECIAL TEAMS gaffe against the ground specialists at Georgia Tech would be disastrous. COACHING 图示 Defensive coordinator Carl Torbush is very familiar with the yellow Jacket offense. Torbush coached at Mississippi State last season when Georgia Tech bulldozed the Bulldogs 42-31 on Oct. 3 in Starkville, Miss. Coach Paul Johnson's option-filled playbook is a throwback to the older days of college football, but his quarterback Joshua Nesbitt is anything but a prototypical quarterback. Torbush knows that well; Nesbitt carried the ball 23 times in the victory against Mississippi State last season. BENNIE FINKS Matt Galloway Torbush ATHS DANVILLE MOMENTUM The Yellow Jackets visit Memorial Stadium riding a wave of momentum. Their ACC championship and Orange Bowl appearance led to a lot of pre-season hype, and coach Johnson's team was able to avoid a let down in week one.

He wears a green fly-fishing jacket, which holds everything he needs — a few markers and a notebook. His arms move quickly and deliberately, like a teacher at a chalkboard. He draws simple figurines, as if the walls were just a giant comic strip. Somehow, a clear message comes through. "I have my own language," Dan Perjovschi said. "These are my words, and I recombine them into new phrases." Perjovski is the artist-in-residence at the Spencer Museum of Art. He has been drawing in the central court of the museum for almost two weeks now, creating walls of statements and observations through cartoon-looking, graffiti-style art. His exhibit, Dan Perjovski Central Court, will officially open Thursday and run until Feb. 6, 2011. His artwork will stay on the walls until the end of the exhibit. Perjovski mixes political messages with simple observations of life. One of his favorite and recurring drawings depicts a man in a business suit pointing and yelling at a young skateboarder. The speech bubble coming from the man in the business suit reads "I was at Woodstock". "It's not conventional art," Rachel Schmidt, a freshman from Paola, said as she looked up at the walls of the Spencer. "It's just true, he puts things in a way that can relate to." 5 It is that connection that Dan looks for. He said that everything he writes or draws, we have all thought about at some point. He said he has just trained himself to capture those thoughts in his notebook. Walls have always been a part of Perjovschi's life. He was born in 1961 in the city of Sibiu, Romania, the same year the Berlin Wall was erected. Perjovski said living in communist Romania was a life of restrictions.

C. B. D. Kansas North Dakota St. 3 6 Confidence still strong Gill pleased with defense but says that offense should learn from loss By Kory Carpenter By Kory Carpenter kcarpenter@kansan.com There was not much to cheer about in coach Turner Gill's first game as a Jayhawk. Starting quarterback Kale Pick threw for a mere 138 yards and an interception which led to his second half benching. Senior place kicker Jacob Branstetter missed two field goals, and the Jayhawks leading rusher was actually a wide receiver, Daymond Patterson. Mix those together and you get three points and a loss to the North Dakota State Bison. Tim Biere proved to be another disappointment. The preseason wheat from coaches and players led to two fumbles on his only two receptions. Reserve quarterback Jordan Webb still has confidence in Biere. "He's one of the best tight ends I've ever been around," he said. Webb, who relieved Pick in the second half, threw for second completions on 11 attempts, being sacked twice. Gill said the quarterback position is up for grabs once again. As the only BCS conference team to not score a touchdown in week one, Gill's offense has a lot of work to do and the quarterback spot is not the only spot open for competition. "Running back wise, we're still trying to figure that out. It's not just a quarterback thing," he said. Gill stated that execution, not effort, led to the team's demise. The team committed eight penalties, lost two fumbles and missed on 11 of 15 third down conversions. The mental errors were capped off with Isiah Barfield's interception. He decided to run out of the endzone, only to be taken down on the one yard, line giving his quarterback no room to operate. "I think they played with great effort, but there were times when they were hesitant." Gill said. With only a week to prepare for Georgia Tech, more hesitation from the Kansas offense could lead to another ugly loss in Memorial Stadium. An upset could be huge for the team who is eager to get Saturday's ugly loss out of their memory. "I don't know if it erases everything," offensive lineman Brad Thorson stated at Tuesday's press conference. "But it would certainly go a long way to helping this team out. We've got to move past North Dakota State." There's no rest for the weary, as Gill and company will try to iron out the kinks while preparing for the Yellow Jackets Saturday at 11 a.m. As Gill mentioned, the team will have to play disciplined and efficient on offense to pull the upset. "You're only going to have so many possessions on offense because of their running attack, so we have to be very disciplined on offense and score a touchdown." That seems obvious enough for someone who did not witness the Jabwawks' first name. Georgia Tech's unique spread option attack will be tough for Carl Torbush's defense, a unit held the Bison to only 168 total yards last week. Seeing the defense outshine and outperform the offense was something new for Jayhawk fans in Memorial Stadium. Gill was more than pleased with the defense as well. "When you hold someone to six points in a ballgame, that's outstanding, it doesn't matter who the opponent is," he said. Georgia Tech comes to town as #15 in the AP poll, after beating South Carolina State 41-10. While an upset would be nice on Saturday, Jayhawk fans may need to stay patient for another week. The Yellow Jackets and coach Paul Johnson are ACC conference favorites with a star quarterback in Joshua Nesbitt, and will prove much more challenging than FCS North Dakota State.

STUDYABROAD KU OFFICE OF STUDY ABROAD osa@ku.edu / 105 Lippincott Hall / 785.864.3472 / studyabroad.ku.edu TALES FROM THE TURF KU alum tapped to film football documentary By Meg Lowry mlowry@kansan.com THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 10,2010 A dozen football players are scattered around the desks, huddled over white booklets, writing carefully in pencil. Defensive coordinator Carl Torbush lectures from the front of the room, his Tennessee drawl echoing instruction. 25 The only thing out of the ordinary for this college football scenario is Micah Brown sitting in the back of the classroom, silently attentive to his camera and the scene around him. The scene takes place in the third installment of "The Gridiron" a documentary series that follows the Jayhawk football team on and off the field throughout the season. To watch "The Gridiron," go to kufootball.com "If we win those battles, then we win the ballgame," Torbush says. They respond with understanding as Turner Gill watches from the corner, clutching a playbook of his own. Brown's camera captures it all. While he was at KU, Brown participated in track, football and majored in film. As a student, Brown caught the attention of the athletic department and helped to create a documentary about the impact student athletes can have on the community. The department remembered his name when they made plans to shoot video promoting sports at the university. After he is done with "The Gridiron", Brown is a KU alum and former Kansas football player. He returned to KU for the project after he was approached by Lew Perkins and George Mataskis, director of football relations, to shoot some videos for the team. Brown proposed the documentary idea instead. Brown is going to do similar projects for other KU sports. Before this, Brown was in California editing movie trailers for films such as "Knight and Day," "The A-Team," and Date Night." "I knew him as a football player and work with him now," Jeff Love, football video coordinator, says. "And his work is outstanding." The documentary has been compared stylistically to Hard Knocks, the reality sports documentary television series on HBO that follows an NFL team through training camp, and "Friday Night Lights," the NBC show about the drama surrounding a high school football team. Metro Sports, Time Warner and Sunflower have all inquired at a regional and national level regarding making "The Gridiron" available OnDemand. "You always reference different things when looking for a great idea." Brown says, "I knew I wanted to do something no other college team had done and bring a cinematic experience to the college football realm."

The first certification certificate for Consumer decoration manufacturer INVICTORY 1980 1 11 FOOTBALL 13 18TH ST VINE ST "I knew I wanted to do something no other college team had done and bring a cinematic experience to the college football realm." Micah Brown Love, who works closely with the team and is responsible for editing and creating all practice films, recognizes that Brown's relationship with the team gives him an advantage in filming its every move. Brown's history on the team makes him a good fit for the job because of his knowledge of football, a trait the department was looking for when hiring, Love savs. Perhaps most surprising about "The Gridiron" is the quiet presence of the football program's leading man. Coach Turner Gill, with the exception of a locker room speech and a post-game consolation, plays a supporting role to the players. Considering his legacy of Nebraska football and Orange Bowl titles, as a standout Heisman finalist and the coach of three national championship teams at Nebraska, perhaps Gill's role could be expected to be larger. Screen time is made up for in the intimate moments of Gill that Brown captures on film. A pensive Gill overlooks an empty field as well as groups of players wearing T-shirts which tout their slogan: "Believe." These intimate moments might have the gravitas they do because of Brown's relationship with Gill. Brown's father was teammates with Gill at Nebraska and Brown grew up with Gill as a family friend. Their new working relationship hasn't affected their friendship, however. "He's my boss, and I couldn't ask for a better one." Brown says. Even though he has a history as a football player, Brown now watches the team from a different perspective. He sees a transformation in the team and attributes it to Gill, the most consistent person Brown knows. Gill is creating a new culture for KU football, Brown says, a process that doesn't happen overnight but that Brown is confident Gill can achieve. The documentary follows the team throughout the week, from practices to field time, chronicling the progress of the program Gill came to rebuild. It gives the viewer an inside look at what really happens during the course of the week during the college football season, Love says. "There are a lot of programs where you are seeing more and more that fans love to be in the know," Love says. The films, although helpful in reviewing game time mistakes or patterns, are really meant for outside viewers. The documentary will be used to recruit high school athletes and potential KU students, as well as something to enjoy for the student body and alumni. "You get provided with an inside look that you gravitate to," Love says. "You feel like you are in the locker room with these guys and you can't help but be a fan." After a bleak loss to North Dakota State Saturday, Gill gathers his team in the locker room and reminds them to look ahead. "It's just one day." Gill tells them. "It's just one game." The men gather in a huddle, and on three chant their slogan: "Believe!" while Brown's camera catches it all.

STUDYABROAD KU OFFICE OF STUDY ABROAD osa@ku.edu / 105 Lippincott Hall / 785.864.3472 / studyabroad.ku.edu TALES FROM THE TURF KU alum tapped to film football documentary By Meg Lowry mlowry@kansan.com 25 A dozen football players are scattered around the desks, huddled over white booklets, writing carefully in pencil. Defensive coordinator Carl Torbush lectures from the front of the room, his Tennessee drawl echoing instruction. The only thing out of the ordinary for this college football scenario is Micah Brown sitting in the back of the classroom, silently attentive to his camera and the scene around him. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 10,2010 The scene takes place in the third installment of "Theridiron," a documentary series that follows the Jayhawk football team on and off the field throughout the season. To watch "The Gridiron," go to kufootball.com "If we win those battles, then we win the ballgame," Torbush says. They respond with understanding as Turner Gill watches from the corner, clutching a playbook of his own. Brown's camera captures it all. Brown is a KU alum and former Kansas football player. He returned to KU for the project after he was approached by Lew Perkins and George Mataskis, director of football relations, to shoot some videos for the team. Brown proposed the documentary idea instead. While he was at KU, Brown participated in track, football and majored in film. As a student, Brown caught the attention of the athletic department and helped to create a documentary about the impact student athletes can have on the community. The department remembered his name when they made plans to shoot video promoting sports at the university. After he is done with "The Gridiron", Brown is going to do similar projects for other KU sports. Before this, Brown was in California editing movie trailers for films such as "Knight and Day," "The A-Team," and Date Night." "I knew him as a football player and work with him now," Jeff Love, football video coordinator, says. "And his work is outstanding." The documentary has been compared stylistically to Hard Knocks, the reality sports documentary television series on HBO that follows an NFL team through training camp, and "Friday Night Lights,"the NBC show about the drama surrounding a high school football team. Metro Sports, Time Warner and Sunflower have all inquired at a regional and national level regarding making "The Gridiron" available OnDemand. "You always reference different things when looking for a great idea," Brown says. "I knew I wanted to do something no other college team had done and bring a cinematic experience to the college football realm."

Micah Brown Love, who works closely with the team and is responsible for editing and creating all practice films, recognizes that Brown's relationship with the team gives him an advantage in filming its every move. Brown's history on the team makes him a good fit for the job because of his knowledge of football, a trait the department was looking for when hiring, Love savs. Perhaps most surprising about "The Gridiron" is the quiet presence of the football program's leading man. Coach Turner Gill, with the exception of a locker room speech and a post-game consolation, plays a supporting role to the players. Considering his legacy of Nebraska football and Orange Bowl titles, as a standout Heisman finalist and the coach of three national championship teams at Nebraska, perhaps Gill's role could be expected to be larger. Screen time is made up for in the intimate moments of Gill that Brown captures on film. A pensive Gill overlooks an empty field as well as groups of players wearing T-shirts which tout their slogan: "Believe." These intimate moments might have the gravitas they do because of Brown's relationship with Gill. Brown's father was teammates with Gill at Nebraska and Brown grew up with Gill as a family friend. Their new working relationship hasn't affected their friendship, however. "He's my boss, and I couldn't ask for a better one,"Brown says. Even though he has a history as a football player, Brown now watches the team from a different perspective. He sees a transformation in the team and attributes it to Gill, the most consistent person Brown knows. Gill is creating a new culture for KU football, Brown says, a process that doesn't happen overnight but that Brown is confident Gill can achieve. The documentary follows the team throughout the week, from practices to field time, chronicling the progress of the program Gill came to rebuild. It gives the viewer an inside look at what really happens during the course of the week during the college football season, Love says. "There are a lot of programs where you are seeing more and more that fans love to be in the know." Love savs. The films, although helpful in reviewing game time mistakes or patterns, are really meant for outside viewers. The documentary will be used to recruit high school athletes and potential KU students, as well as something to enjoy for the student body and alumni. "You get provided with an inside look that you gravitate to," Love says. "You feel like you are in the locker room with these guys and you can't help but be a fan." After a bleak loss to North Dakota State Saturday, Gill gathers his team in the locker room and reminds them to look ahead. "It's just one day." Gill tells them. "It's just one game." The men gather in a huddle, and on three chant their slogan: "Believe!" while Brown's camera catches it all.

He wears a green fly-fishing jacket, which holds everything he needs — a few markers and a notebook. His arms move quickly and deliberately, like a teacher at a chalkboard. He draws simple figurines, as if the walls were just a giant comic strip. Somehow, a clear message comes through. "I have my own language," Dan Perjovschi said. "These are my words, and I recombine them into new phrases." Periovschi is the artist-in-residence at the Spencer Museum of Art. He has been drawing in the central court of the museum for almost two weeks now, creating walls of statements and observations through cartoon-looking, graffiti-style art. His exhibit, Dan Periovschi Central Court, will officially open Thursday and run until Feb. 6, 2011. His artwork will stay on the walls until the end of the exhibit. Periovschi mixes political messages with simple observations of life. One of his favorite and recurring drawings depicts a man in a business suit pointing and yelling at a young skateboarder. The speech bubble coming from the man in the business suit reads "I was at Woodstock". "It's not conventional art," Rachel 8 Schmidt, a freshman from Paola, said as she looked up at the walls of the Spencer. "It's just true, he puts things in a way that can relate to." It is that connection that Dan looks for. He said that everything he writes or draws, we have all thought about at some point. He said he has just trained himself to capture those thoughts in his notebook. Walls have always been a part of Perjovschi's life. He was born in 1961 in the city of Sibiu, Romania, the same year the Berlin Wall was erected. Perjovschi said living in communist Romania was a life of restrictions. The government controlled all sources of information, blocking what Perjovschi starved for. He said he survived some of the worst dictatorial regimes of communist Romania where there was no freedom to travel or read certain books. While there, he started a sort of underground art project with his wife, Lia, whom he met at a special art school when they were 10 years old. "It was a culture of missing," Periwojski said. "It is new all the time," Lia said. "We had a common idea to do what we want, a kind of ambition to contribute to our context." There would be periods where his family had no milk or bread. His working-class parents somehow managed to send all three of their children to universities, where Periwochi studied painting. Because of censorship in Romania, each of Dan's art shows went through three different censorship committees before the public could see it. So, he began private CENTRAL COURT Dan Perjovschi's "Central Court" exhibit will officially open Thursday night. Perjovschi will speak at 5 p.m. at the SMA Auditorium inside the museum.

Then, in 1990, Perjovski helped begin and run the first independent magazine in Romania called "Revista 22," named after a key date in the Romanian revolution: Dec. 22, 1989. 四 2.

N|3A ce on ew j CRAGE IN REWIND N THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WIND A study of wind turbines has revealed that they can be powered by solar energy, reducing their reliance on fossil fuels. This finding is significant for the environment and renewable energy sources. The study, conducted in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, found that wind turbines can capture a wide range of wind speeds from strong to weak. The researchers used a simulator to test the efficiency of these turbines under different wind conditions. The results show that wind turbines are highly efficient at capturing wind energy. They can convert 80% of the wind power into electricity without any significant loss. This makes them a promising source of renewable energy for the future. However, there are some limitations to wind turbines. For example, they require a large amount of space to operate efficiently. Additionally, wind turbines can be expensive to install and maintain. Despite these challenges, wind turbines are still an important part of the energy supply. As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow, wind turbines are expected to play a crucial role in meeting our energy needs. The study also highlights the importance of sustainable energy solutions. Wind turbines are designed to be environmentally friendly and durable, making them a viable option for generating clean energy.

CLUBS Cultural India Club hosting events for Ganesha BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com Of the 3.3 million gods recognized in India, this week centers around just one. Ganesha, the Hindi god of success, is celebrated once a year as part of the Ganesh Chaturthi Festival. Here in Lawrence, the Cultural India Club will host a series of events for the festival in an attempt to bring a bit of their home to KU students and faculty. "It's the chance for people to get to know all the authentic Indian culture we do," said Sandeep Raikar, a third-year doctoral student from Karwar, India. "Once they know what our culture does, they can relate it back to their culture and see the matches between the two." The festival began Sunday with the consecration of the Ganesh idol at the Park 25 Apartments, 2401 W. 25th St. Participants placed the statue of the elephant god on a specially prepared altar and offered it a bath of milk, water and honey. The remainder of the week includes daily offerings of puja and aarti, or brief prayers, to Ganesha and will conclude on Saturday with a traditional night of eating food, wearing authentic Indian clothing and saying prayers. Hosting a traditional Hindi event in the middle of the United States does not come without difficulty. Members can't always find the natural flowers required for the event and those not involved with the celebration are not always tolerant of the event's commotions. "It's a lot different here," said Sudarshan Loya, a third-year doctoral student from Aurangabad, India, and president of the club. "Back in India we have a big youth procession and here we have to be aware of the loud volume because people get disturbed." Despite these setbacks, members do their best to make do with what they have. Raikar said a store in Overland Park offers most of the traditional foods and decorations at affordable prices. Those items that cannot be found are simply replaced with makeshift ones created by the club's members. THOMAS BANHRI "What we try to do is modify the objects," said Anjali Sandip, cultural chair of the CLC. "We can go to places like Michael's and get stuff and put it together to make what we need for the festival." Howard Ting/KANSAN Anshumian Bhtod and Getantanali Aghnihrot, residents of Lawrence, honor Lord Ganesha, Hindu God of Wisdom, during Ganesh Chaturthi on September 17th.

Romanian born Perovschi will be at KU until September 16th. Sarah Hockel/KANSAN E IMA JOB REVOLUT Dan's need to break the barrier holding him and all people back from information made this publication an important step in his life. He began drawing cartoons to convey the message of particular articles. "I am very seriously using humor." Dan said with a laugh. He said that because of the way a message was conveyed through his drawings, he could get away with making points about more controversial issues. Lia said Dan always wanted to make people laugh. But Dan said he did not realize what he was doing in these drawings was a talent until a series of invitations to showcase his work made him realize what he was doing was a real asset. However, because he wasn't being paid to travel he had to pack light. This led to the deconstruction of some of his more artistic skills to the more simple black drawings seen at the Spencer. Now Dan has exhibits all over the world. His graffiti-style art has been scattered on one of the biggest walls in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City as well as museums in China. Dan calls museums the platforms guarding freedom of invention and new things and experiments today. And no matter how people look at his art, he feels that what he does has the power to change the world. "They can be cartoons, or graffiti or art, but who cares if the message is there," Dan said. "If the intelligence is there, who cares how we define it." Dan never thought he would be able to travel the world doing what he once thought of as a hobby. Then again, he never thought he would see the fall of the communist regime or the tearing down of the Berlin wall. Dan has broken down the walls that used to keep information and freedom from him. He now uses walls to communicate and connect with people. "I have experienced moments in my life with no freedom, I can't forget that," he said. Then with a smile through his gate of a moustache covering his mouth. Perjovschi said: "I am still standing." - Edited by Clark Goble T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST The Spencer Museum of Art will be holding a T-shirt design contest where visitors can sketch their own version of Dan Perjovschi's art and vote for which one is deserved of a T-shirt. CULTURE KANSAS Karlie Brown/KANSAN Maranda Jones, Topeka freshman, and Jerdon Barker, Silver Lake, KS freshman, browses an exhibit of jewelry at the Haskell Indian Art Market on Sunday afternoon. The market was a two-day event held at the Haskell Indian Nations University. Traveling artists showcase NativeAmerican cultures BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com More than thirty artists from around the nation sold their artwork at the 22nd annual Haskell Indian Art Market on Saturday and Sunday. The market, which was held at Haskell Indian Nations University, featured original pottery, jewelry, paintings, carvings, and ceramics made by the artists or their families. "I really wasn't expecting it to be this big or have so much variety," said Kelly Kozil, a KU senior from Chicago. "I want everything here." This was Kozil's first time at the market. "I am looking at all the jewelry," Kozil said. "There really is a good selection." Gordon Michael Coons, an artist from Minneapolis who creates hand-pulled production block printing and acrylic painting in "Most of the artists here know each other," Coons said. "We all travel around the country to show our work at the same shows, so really we are like a big family. We enjoy this opportunity to get together and catch up and spend time together." The market accepts applications from artists around the country and then selects who can display their work. According to application guidelines, artists must have proof of tribal affiliation to enter. Woodland Art style, said this is his ninth year participating in the market. "I like coming out here because the people are so supportive," Coons said. "People come out just looking for my stuff, so that is nice." The market tends to feature more jewelry booths than any other art styles. "I jokingly refer to it as Santa Fe East," Coons said. "One year there was so much jewelry that the entire "In addition to just design and color, I make my own frames," Coons said. "It adds value to my work." tent was lit up it was so bright." Coons, a member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in Wisconsin, said he puts special effort into making his artwork original. "The customers are very supportive" Coons said. "I have people who come back for their next piece that have bought my pieces before." The Haskell Indian Art Market had a successful turn out, and offers an outlet for Native-American artists to feature their culture and work. Each year, the market has more and more returning customers. "These kinds of markets take place all over the country," Coons said. "This is a good way to get our work out there."

Lehrman says the smart meter, which allows consumers to check energy usage daily online, will replace all old meters by next year. Sarah Hockel/KANSAN Westar presents smart meter at fair Lawrence will get meters in the spring BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton.kansan.com On Saturday, going green and saving green seems to have gotten easier thanks to a new program that will be implemented in Lawrence in the spring of 2011. Westar Energy showcased its new smart meter at the 10th annual Lawrence Energy Conservation Fair. The city of Lawrence Waste Reduction and Recycling Division hosted the event at the City of Lawrence Community Building at 115 W. 11th St. "We will be exchanging all of the old, mechanical materials out for If usage seems high on a particular day, for example, customers may access the hourly records to determine the cause. "If you want to save money it speaks to you, if you're interested in the environment you can look at your carbon emissions and figure out ways to limit your usage," Lehrman said. Once the meters are in place, customers can visit the web portal the next day and view a usage graph displaying per hour data. Another aspect of the web portal is an alerts page where customers can sign up for text and e-mail notifications for bills or maintenance. "If you want to know that your Lehrman, a smart star program analyst with Westar Energy, said the idea is that with the detailed information, customers can make better energy consumption choices. The smart meter is a digital meter that will transmit energy usage information every 15 minutes. That information will then be displayed on a web portal that every customer will have access to. The portal will provide usage summaries for bill projections, carbon usage and kilowatt usage for every hour of every day. "If you want to save money it speaks to you." the digital smart meters." Matt Lehrman said. MATT LEHRMAN Smart star program analyst bill is going to reach $100, you can receive a text or email alert." L e h r m a n " said. "Or, if there's going to be some maintenance you can have them send an alert if the power is going to be out." Lehrman said information about consumption habits has never been available before. Lawrence is currently the only area that will be receiving smart meters. Hal Jensen, director of smart star programs, said it depends on testing, but he anticipates they will start installing them around the first part of May. Lawrence is going to receive about 45,000 smart meters community-wide over a five-month period. Jensen said Westar would be installing a smaller group of about 1500 smart meters as a pilot run later this year. The pilot program will take place in an undetermined Lawrence neighborhood and an informational online web page is scheduled to be launched within 30 days. Cassandra Ford, event coordinator, said the day was about informing people about how they can become involved in energy conservation. Samantha Pedrava, a senior from Lawrence, volunteered in the morning and found the crowd very receptive to conservation. "I found a lot of people who really want to get involved with what we're doing," Pedrava said. More than 40 presenters participated in the fair and Ford said despite the game, the crowd remained steady throughout the day. Eco Elvis attracted a small crowd on the steps of the community building, but many stayed inside. Kate Medin, a graduate student from Columbia, Mo., found the day informative and exciting.

BTGCOMICS.TWUBLR.COM Ian Vern Tan Siskel and Ebert production to air on PBS with new hosts and the late Gene Siskel three decades ago, this time with film critics Christy Lemire of The Associated Press and Elvis Mitchell of NPR debating and issuing thumbs MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE TELEVISION Roger Ebert announced Friday on his Chicago Sun-Times blog that "At the Movies" would return to PBS stations in January. Produced by Ebert and his wife, Chaz, the weekly half-hour film review program — revamped as "Roger Ebert Presents At the Movies" — will continue the format first made famous by Ebert the "Young Turks" radio program on Air America; the two took over the slot once filled by Ebert and Richard Roeper, both writers at the Chicago Sun-Times. Roeper had stepped in after the death of Siskel in 1999. "Despite all the programming out there, there's nothing really like it on TV." "Most movie coverage on TV The decision to bring back the show, Ebert said, is an attempt to shift the lens back to cinematic content. "At the Movies" has gone through several revisions and name changes over the years. Before Phillips and Scott, the show was anchored by two young hosts, Ben Lyons of "E! Entertainment" and Ben Mankiewicz, a former co-host of The announcement comes less than a month after distributor Disney-ABC Domestic Television broadcast the final episode of the long-running show, which had gone into syndication and was most recently hosted by Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune and A.O. Scott of The New York Times. ROBERT EBERT Film Critic and Producer up or thumbs down reviews from red movie theater seats. is celeb-driven gossip and chatter," Ebert, 68, said in an e-mail to the Los Angeles Times. "It's obsessed with box-office numbers. It's always upbeat. The critics are often not qualified. Despite all the programming out there, there's nothing really like it on TV" The Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic, who has not been seen on the show since 2006 because of illness, will employ the computer voice generator and appear on every episode with segments titled "Roger's Office" dedicated to classic, overlooked and new films. Ebert noted that the format he and Siskel created worked for more than 30 years. "What killed it was the attempt to take it in a new direction, which translated into Ben Lyons driving away loyal viewers. Tony Scott and Michael Phillips returned to our traditional standards, but by then the show had lost many of its good time slots." He's hoping that returning to public television will allow the new show to claim better and more consistent time slots in more markets. The new version will be produced at the original series' birthplace, WTTW Chicago, and broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. Along with critics Lemire and Mitchell, the show will also include contributions from Kim Morgan, a Los Angeles writer who runs the website sunsetgun.com, and Omar Moore, a San Francisco lawyer who writes film essays at popcorneel.com. In addition to his belief in the original format, Ebert cited "a growing interest in new ways of viewing movies (streaming, on demand, red boxes, Netflix, Amazon, etc.) that has revived interest in movies not necessarily in first run" as a reason that prompted him to bring back the show. The evolution of "At the Movies" can be traced back to the 1970s-era program, "Opening Soon at a Theater Near You" and then "Sneak Previews," shown on the Chicago PBS affiliate WTTW, where conservative reviewer Siskel, of the Chicago Tribune, along with his brash co-host Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, presented viewers passionate debates over the latest cinematic offerings. 10 "This is the rebirth of a dream," Ebert said in a separate statement.

Saturday's Cryptoquip: FAMED NOVEL THAT DETAILS A MASSIVE TWENTY-FOUR-HOUR CLEARANCE SALE: "THE DAY OF THE LOW-COST." Today's Cryptoquip Clue; B equals L All puzzles © King Features TELEVISION Talk show to feature positive life outlook MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE But the real starting point probably occurred in December 2004, the day a mighty wave engulfed much of Asia. Berkus, who was vacationing in Sri Lanka, hung on to a telephone pole while his boyfriend, photographer Fernando Bengoechea, got washed away in the tsunami. You might think Nate Berkus road to hosting his own daytime talk show began at the age of 8 when his mother, Nancy Golden, woke him from a deep sleep in his bedroom to get his opinion about a knickknack she had just added to the living-room mantel. Or maybe it was when he opened his own consulting firm in his mid-20s. You could argue it happened the moment Oprah Winfrey anointed him as her show's go-to interior decorator, which is akin to the cardinals appointing a new pope. The superstars of daytime talk intrinsically understand that the most important thing to their audience isn't goofy dancing, giveaways or appearances by George Clooney. It's compassion. Promos for "The Nate Berkus Show," which debuts Monday in 95 percent of the country's markets, emphasize his puppy-dog cuteness, but it's his ability to empathize with the average American that will be his strongest asset. "I think what that tragedy did was make him see the world as a bigger place than the small world he thought of prior to that," said Golden, who spent three weeks taking care of her son after he was rescued. "He was always a compassionate person, but I watched how he came to really care about people whose lives were changed on a dime through no fault of their own." Berkus, who turns 39 on Friday, said the letters he received upon his return had a deep effect. "I was shocked at the pain people walk around with," he said. "It made me more empathetic and a better listener. I think that's one of the most important things if this show is going to work." Berkus believes that improving one's outlook on life starts with improving one's personal space, a gift he discovered at an early age. While other kids were playing Little League, he was scouting estate sales. While other kids were scruffing up their jeans, he was critiquing his mom's wardrobe. While other kids were watching sports on TV, he was in the kitchen gabbing with the women. "Ive always had strong women around me," Berkus said. That trend will continue during premiere week, which will include sit-down interviews with Elizabeth Edwards and Dolly Parton, as well as a visit from mom. "Everyday women can't afford a Vogue lifestyle, but they can be inspired by it," said executive producer Terry Murphy. "He's so keenly aware of women's time. It's the same thing I see in Oprah."

In his new role as interim athletics director, Lester has inherited Connecticut for eight years as a senior administrator. Lester's seven years with the athletics department and his previous experience as a senior administrator for another university's athletics department make him a good candidate for interim athletics director. "Whatever responsibilities any athletics director has, those are the responsibilities Sean has," Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director said. "He is responsible for running the Athletics Department." A department in transition Lester's history with the University goes back to September 2003, when he started his position as senior associate athletics director. He came to KU with Perkins from the University of Connecticut, where he received his masters in education in 1995 with a concentration in sports management. He worked under Perkins at the University of Though his current position is Jack Martin, University spokesman, said that Lester was chosen because of his experience and ability to lead the department. temporary, students should still hold Lester to the same standards as they will his replacement. Lester should hold the department to a high ethical standard and should have the students and their safety, wants, and needs as his highest priority. In a press release issued Sept. 7, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said that she hopes to announce the new athletics director soon but has set the goal for next spring. A search committee will be formed to determine the characteristics for Perkins' permanent replacement but Martin said that the search began back in June when Perkins first announced his retirement for September 2011. In a joint press conference with Lester held Sept. 7, Bill Self, coach of the men's basketball team, said he wanted Perkins' replacement to "I want somebody who will come in here and love this place as much as we love it," Self said. know KU and its traditions. EDITORIAL CARTOON A love for KU and a knowledge and appreciation of its traditions is of course essential for the best candidate. But integrity and high moral standards are equally if not more important. Gray-Little said in the same press release that Lester has told her that he doesn't not consider himself to be a candidate for the new athletics director. "Right now my focus is on leadership within the department." Lester said during his joint press conference with Self. During this transitional time, the Athletics Department should be focused on ensuring stability within the department and Lester should work to be a good representative of the University. Students should let Lester know what they expect from him in his temporary position and should hold him to the same standards as Perkins' permanent replacement. Kate Larrabe for The Kansan Editorial Board FOR STUDENTS AND FOR STAFF IDEALS ARE BIG SHOES TO FILL NICK SAMBULAK SKEPTICISM When it comes to sugar, corn receives undeserved treatment Earlier this year, buyers of Hunt's brand ketchup probably noticed a conspicuous change to their bottle of America's favorite condiment: a bright yellow banner running across the label with the words "NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP" proudly displayed It seems that the consumer is getting what he wants by refusing to buy anything with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and forcing companies to make the switch to traditional cane sugar (sucrose) or risk losing customers. Despite this apparent populist victory, the fact remains that there is no conclusive research to back up the claims that HFCS is any worse for people than the table sugar replacing it, yet according to websites like sweetdisguise.com and several Facebook groups, it's responsible for everything from cancer to organ failure. Hunt's, however, is only part of a growing trend of foods and drinks that have reformulated to exclude this greatly maligned, corn-derived sweetener that seems to have found its way into everything from bread to peanut butter. Much of the controversy surrounding HFCS began with a paper in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published in 2004 that suggested a link between skyrocketing obesity rates in the Good Science, Bad Science U. S., and the prevalence of HFCS in Americans' diets. That article has since been contradicted by many others—including one by an author of the 2004 paper—affirming that HFCS is no worse than the sucrose replacing it. But, what was seen—and what led to the suspicion that HFCS might be responsible for America's growing waist line—is a correlation between the proliferation HFCS in our diets since the 1970s and a surge in obesity rates that began around the same time. BY ANDREW HOLTZEN The authors of the 2004 paper noticed this correlation, and proposed that the different composition of HFCS compared with sucrose was partly responsible. The problem is that HFCS and sucrose vary only slightly. The two sugars are what are known as disaccharides, or a sugar composed of two simpler sugars—in both cases fructose and glucose. According to the University of Maryland, the two most commonly used forms of HFCS have a fructose to glucose composition of 55 percent fructose and 42 percent glucose, and 42 percent fructose and 53 percent glucose. is metabolized differently from glucose and could contribute to weight gain, the difference between the ratio of fructose and glucose in HFCS and table sugar is small. While it's true that fructose Compared with sucrose, which is 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose, there is only a bit more fructose in the first variety and actually less in the second. The issue at hand is not whether one type of sugar is worse than another, but how much sugar we are consuming in the first place. According to the USDA, no more then 267 calories from added sweeteners like sucrose or HFCS should be consumed daily for a 2000-calorie diet. Obesity is a problem that will not be resolved by simply swapping one sugar for another, but will require a reevaluation of our entire diet as well as our lifestyle.

CAMPUS Saturday's football game was more than just a win Like most students, I was mesmerized during Saturday's football game against Georgia Tech. I am not a hardcore fan, but I was taken. The high drama and emotion took me captive. The game took a lot of people captive. If the #rockchalk hashtag was trending on Twitter, you knew something of note had to have been happening in Memorial Stadium. And after an epic struggle, KU won. We won a game we weren't supposed to win on the heels of a loss we weren't supposed to suffer. The victory was a true upset. It was a euphoric moment, though I can't help but believe that the mood of relief and celebration was not just about this game, as amazing as it was. I think many of us, whether we admit it or not, saw a turning point in this game, especially after last week's embarrassing loss to North Dakota State. In some small way, this university moved away from the scars of the past year on Saturday. To be sure, there's a long way to go. Only a university and an athletics department dedicated to the highest standards of conduct will be able to do that. This wasn't a turning point in a sport's season, though. No, Saturday's game represented the departure away from the past year of University life, which has been marked by scandal and budget cuts, investigations and resignations. Hawk Life BY JONATHAN SHORMAN That was something I had started to forget recently. All those issues were pushed to sidelines to make way for a football team that showed us all that at the core of this university are students. Everyone who watched that game was reminded that students are the heart of KU – not so-called adults who have done irresponsible things in the name of profit or greed. Saturday's game was about students - students doing remarkable things. Students doing great things. It was about a student body believing in their classmates. But for a few hours,none of the politics or doubts or intrigue that has seemed to infect athletics (and the whole university by extension) mattered. This is what it means to be a student at The University of Kansas. This is what it means to be a Jav Hawk. Even if we don't win another game this year, let's not forget that. Shorman, the opinion editor, is a junior from McPherson in journalism. Quitting Facebook This sad example of the passivity, hesitancy and ultimate mundane nature that is characteristic of the Facebook generation is leading me to make a decision that some may call insane. That's right: by the time this article is in print, I will have deleted my Facebook. Last night I dreamt I was Facebook chatting a friend about our Art of Film homework. Of all the crazy and amazing scenarios my subconscious could have conjured up - such as fighting a dragon, flying over green valleys, making out with Brad Pitt - my dream consisted of sitting at a computer, scanning through a website. I don't want to do it anymore. I want to remember that the choice to have a Facebook is just Not permanently; just for one month. It'll be a cleansing of the mind after four years of moderate Facebook usage. If I like my new life, I'll keep it deleted. I've been toying with this idea for a long time. Why? Simply because I think that Facebook's whole mission to connect people has led us to become more socially askew than ever. We are so awkward. We click through random stranger's pages, learn random information about them, and act totally surprised when we meet them in real life. We debate if a status is appropriate to "like" and if a friend would be upset to be cut out of a profile picture. We judge people based on their favorite TV shows and books before we get to know them, before we even meet them. that: a choice. Yes, this might not be the most opportunity time to delete my connection to the rest of the world, considering five of my closest friends are 3,000 miles away in London, Florence and Madrid. But we will still have Skype. And the telephone. And old fashioned letters. I suppose in my Facebook-free life I might not be able to read my freshman year roommate's statuses about Michelangelo's David and the best flavor of gelato. But maybe she will write me, in her slanty, almost cursive-like handwriting, a silly poem about pasta that I can hang above my desk. Maybe I will lose touch with a few hundred acquaintances who I don't see regularly at Marist; camp friends, junior varsity volleyball teammates who I don't talk to over the phone or have the patience to write letters to. But maybe that's okay. Maybe the majority of my 731 Facebook friends don't really matter. Am I heartless? Possibly. I just know that my best friends mean the world to me and communicating with them some way is very important, but everyone else... well, I hope everyone is doing well. But, at the end of the day, perhaps I don't really care. So adios, Facebook! I am devoting this month to reading books for fun, biking by the river, and writing letters to my loved ones. My life and my dreams will be 100 percent Facebook free. Suck it, Mark Zuckerberg. -From Uwire.

Springer led the team with 15 total tackles as the Jayhawks earned their first victory of the season over Georgia Tech Saturday afternoon. Team unites for unexpected win Jayhawks jolt highly rated Yellow Jackets BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway BY MATT GALLOWAY Last week against North Dakota State, the fans at Memorial Stadium booed the Jayhawks as the clock wound down on their 6-3 loss. So imagine the players' surprise when many of those same fans rushed the field after their 28-25 upset against No.15 Georgia Tech on Saturday. "You know how it is. Usually it's all about Kansas basketball," senior linebacker Justin Springer said. "Seeing that, it kind of brought a tear to my eye." What a difference a week made. Freshman running back James Sims became the first freshman in school history to rush for 100 yards in his debut, freshman quarterback Jordan Webb threw for three touchdowns in his first start and the Jayhawks (1-1) won their first game since Oct. 10, 2009. Sims, filling in for injured freshman running back Deshaun Sands, ran for 101 yards on 17 carries and scored a touchdown run that would give the Jayhawks a 21-17 lead they would not surrender. The performance was one of many unexpected breakouts against the Yellow Jackets, but sophomore wide receiver Bradley McDougald said he knew the freshman had it in him. "He is a great running back," McDougald said. "He reminds me of Toben (Opurum) last year. That's what the guys in the locker room were talking about." Other than a few snaps out of the Wildcat formation for sophomore quarterback Kale Pick, Webb had the keys to the car in his first career start. He finished 18-for-29 with 179 yards passing, three touchdowns and a hard-luck interception off a McDougald bobble. "It was awesome. It was exhilarating." Webb said. "It was just cool to see the fans back into it - hopefully. Hopefully they're back into it every week. I think it's going to be a fun year." Two freshmen, Webb and Sims, carried the Jayhawk offense against the defending ACC champions. As the fans mobbed Webb and his teammates after the victory, the hope for what might develop in the next four years was on display for everyone involved. The defense was able to contain the much-hyped Yellow Jacket (1-1) triple-option offense, limiting senior quarterback Joshua "When the other team fires the corner about every play, you probably should be able to throw one and complete it," said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson. Nesbitt to a 33.3 percent completion rate. Nesbitt finished 5-for-15 with 116 yards passing and a touchdown, but the Jayhawks were able to subdue his true threat: the ground game. Nesbitt averaged 2.2 yards on 15 carries. With Georgia Tech down to their final down, Nesbitt missed wide-open receiver and the Jayhawks were able to run out the clock on their first victory over a top 15 ranked school at Memorial Stadium since 1984. Just as he told his team last week when they lost to their FCS opponent, Gill reiterated that this victory is just one step in his goal of returning the program back to prominence. ball game.

One of these alternatives is wind power, which harnesses the kinetic energy of wind to generate electricity. Wind farms are typically located in open fields or near coastal areas, and they play a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Wind farms work by installing large wind turbines on land. These turbines convert the energy of the wind into electricity using a system of mechanical components. The turbines rotate in a circular path as the wind blows past them, generating electricity. The benefits of wind energy include: - Reduced carbon footprint: Wind energy produces no carbon dioxide emissions, making it a more sustainable energy source. - Energy independence: Wind power provides a reliable source of electricity without relying on fossil fuels. - Economic benefits: Wind farms can create jobs and stimulate local economies. - Environmental benefits: Wind energy is a renewable resource, reducing the risk of climate change. However, there are some challenges associated with wind energy: - High installation costs: Building wind farms requires significant investment and expertise. - Maintenance costs: Wind turbines need regular maintenance to ensure their efficient operation. - Technical challenges: Installing wind turbines can be complex and requires specialized skills. Despite these challenges, wind energy remains a promising option for future energy development. Advances in technology and infrastructure have made wind farms more accessible and reliable, contributing to their increasing popularity. The image provided shows a table with various statistics related to wind energy. Each row contains different data points such as the number of wind farms installed, the total annual electricity generated, and the carbon emissions avoided. However, the table is not clearly visible in the provided image. To accurately answer questions about this table, one would need to locate the specific rows and columns within the image. The text is too blurry to read accurately, but it appears to contain statistical information relevant to wind energy.

Springer's career day limits rushing attack FOOTBALL BY MEGAN RUPP mrupp@kansan.com The last time senior linebacker Justin Springer had a game like he did on Saturday, he earned himself a spot on the Jayhawk football team. Springer said his 18 tackles in a high school playoff game led to his recruitment by Kansas. Attacking Georgia Tech's triple-option offense Saturday, Springer dictated the pace of the game with 15 tackles and an emotional win. Until Saturday's career-setting performance, Springer's previous high was nine tackles in a single game. Without Springer's contributions, three of which resulted in Georgia Tech's loss of possession, the Jayhawks may not have been able to seal the upset against "It's a big win," Springer said. "Biggest win of my life, to tell you the truth." the nationally ranked opponent. Senior linebacker Drew Dudley, who had eight tackles, saw Springer's commitment in the offseason after intense two-a-day practices. "I'm about to go to sleep and he's got his little night-light on, The two line-backers have been roommates for four years. Dudley wasn't surprised that Springer had spent extra hours studying film last week in said. "But I had the same motivation I had last week. I didn't care what anybody said." reading his playbook," Dudley said. Led by Springer on defense and the new starting quarterback freshman Jordan Webb on offense, the Jayhawks found the rhythm they needed to bounce "It's a big win. Biggest win of my life, to tell you the truth." preparation for Saturday's game. Despite the extra hours, Springer said he tried to maintain the same mindset facing Georgia Tech. JUSTIN SPRINGER senior linebacker "I'm not going to lie, before the game I was still nervous." Springer but the Jayhawk defense successfully limited their offensive execution in key plays. back from last week's embarrassing defeat. The energy garnered on offense quickly transferred to the other side of the ball. The Yellow jackets amassed 291 Coming into the second game of a season with a seemingly dismal future, what the Jayhawks feared The lajayhawk defense successfully exploited one of the offense's most significant weaknesses. Given the Yellow Jackets use of the pitch option, a fumble was bound to happen and when it did, Dudley was ready to recover the ball early in the fourth quarter. most was Georgia Tech's triple option offense. The precision-oriented offense was designed to create various offensive opportunities with the running back and quarterback, fourth-quarter comebacks not being one of them. "There's always a chance, even last week they had a couple fumbles so we were just hoping," Dudley said. "You keep playing hard and be ready to get it when it is." defense at its 35-yard line. Yellow Jackets' quarterback Josh Nesbitt was 5-for-15, gaining only 116 yards passing, but may have had the opportunity to be a hero in a fourth-and-3 situation, had a false start penalty not pushed his team back 5 yards. Confronted by solid defensive pressure, Nesbitt threw an incomplete fourth-down pass to seal the Jayhawk victory. In the final minute, after having pulled within three points of the Jayhawks, Georgia Tech's offensive line stood face-to-face with an unexpectedly strong Joining Springer and Dudley as one of the top three tacklers, junior linebacker Steven Johnson made 11 tackles. Together, they made 34 of the 82 tackles against the Yellow Jackets. "We knew from the beginning of the game that it was going to be on us, the defense," Johnson said. "We had to go out there, settle down and focus on our individual jobs. By playing together, as a team, you can accomplish anything." Edited by Clark Goble COMMENTARY Desirable win for coming season I am very happy to be a part of your team. I will do my best to help you succeed. Thank you for your support. BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com What no one expected was the way it panned out. And for Kansas, it was actually for the better. Just imagine it: Senior kicker Jacob Branstetter kicks the gametying field goal against North Dakota State. Kansas goes on to win in overtime. The Jayhawks start the season with a victory, but a hollow one. The Jayhawks ended their second week with the record we all predicted: 1-1 Come week two, the Jayhawks have their losing streak snapped and they weren't humiliated while ESPN ranked them the fifth worst team in college football. So there is a little bit of urgency, just not as much. The layhawks would then come out against the Yellow jackets and play decent. Then all of a sudden, those option plays are going for 10 yards a pop. Kansas is gashed and the sails of their week one victory are emptied out a bit. But hey, the season has gone as expected and everyone walks around as if they know exactly how it is going to play out. Most of the players said after the game they played Georgia Tech as they would any other time in any situation. "You focus on a single game at a time," junior cornerback Isiah Barfeld said. "Whether you lose the game before, it doesn't determine how you're going to play the next game." For some inexplicable reason, Webb broke the chains restraining the offense that Kale Pick could not. And again, depending on the outcome of the North Dakota State game, this might not have happened. The anemic Jayhawk offense in game one led to starting freshman quarterback Jordan Webb in game two. Webb proceeded to play a perfect first quarter on his part, completing 10 of 12 passes with 93 vards and a touchdown. So instead of playing to expectations set for them this season, the Jayhawks have done what is best for them and proved they can contend with a ranked opponent. The confidence they earned Saturday far outweighs the tragedy in their first game. Hogwash. And give credit to Webb for being the only player honest about the desire to win Saturday's game. "I think were definitely more motivated since we lost last week," he said. "It's all about execution and playing hard. I think we're going to do that every week. That's all we've got to do and we'll be fine." Sophomore wide receiver Bradley McDougal said Kansas apparently had that confidence before the game started. It was all of us outside the team that needed convincing. "We were very confident," he said. "I don't know if the fans were confident." After Saturday, the confidence level can't be any higher for this team. -Edited by Anna Nordlina HO 10 is chall ARIE Today Focus stand can't assoc piece TAU Tod You min in the ima resu blue GEI Toc You hel tim diff agr CA To Int so we to gr LE To Ye he m at ic V T S t C r > 2B / **SPORTS** / MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "I always turn to the sports section first.

HBO's "Hard Knocks: Training Camp" got me hooked. BY SARAH KELLY If you haven't seen the clip of Antonio Cromatie struggling to name all eight of his children, go find it. You'll notice they're all under the age of five, and three of them are 3 years old. 2007 was a big year for him. BY SARAH KELLY skelly@kansan.com In the same episode, the team works out with Shake Weights, the hilariously inappropriate gadget designed to tone the triceps. Why can't my job be that fun? A winning record isn't enough to hold my attention. For me, the personalities that make up the team are the most compelling part. And HBO knows how to reel me in. I became attached to the rookies, emotionally invested in their status on the roster. Brashton Satele, a linebacker out of Hawaii, looked promising until he tore his Achilles tendon in the first preseason game. Wide receiver Larry Taylor is only 5"6" but incredibly scrappy. I just knew my favorites would survive the axe. THE MORNING BREW They were cut in the season finale last week. Just as I think the series will end in disappointment, a small miracle occurs. Darrelle Revis, the show's invisible character, signs a reconfigured contract and reunites with the Jets. Doesn't everyone love a happy ending? "Hard Knocks" has done something amazing; it has made me feel like a stakeholder in the success of a team I never cared about before. I want to see the Jets do well like I want to see my friends and family do well. I hope Cromartie's career flourishes so he can send all eight of his kids to college. I hope Satele comes back from injury to live his dream of playing professional football. I hope Mark Sanchez learns to curb his buffoonery so he can lead the team — and to reduce his risk of getting punched in the face. The Jets play their first regular season game tonight, and I'll be checking the score at work. That's a first. But the Cowboys are still America's team and Dallas is still the best city in our nation's greatest state. Good TV can't change that.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — If Denard Robinson's performance last week was a jaw dropper, what he did against Notre Dame on Saturday topped it. And oh, yeah, he directed the game-winning TD drive, scoring himself from 2 yards out with 27 seconds left to send Michigan (2-0) to a pulsating 28-24 victory. That's just for starters. How about a school-record 502 yards total offense for a QB, including 258 yards rushing on 28 carries and 244 more passing? No wonder Wolverines coach Rich Rodriguez said the spectacular new star of his spread offense might sleep on the trip back to Ann Arbor. He deserves some rest. "Man.

Then Robinson showed that not only is he fast and strong, he's a clutch player, too. He led Michigan on a 12-play, 72-yard drive, capped his game-winning TD — a fitting end.

Jayhawks rebound after opening loss BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com The soccer teams inconsistencies continued this weekend, as it went 1-1 for the third consecutive week. Kansas (3-3) defeated Oregon (2-3-2), for its first Sunday win of the season, 1-0 on a late goal by junior forward Emily Cressy. Cressy was unmarked on her goal that came in the 85th minute on a cross from sophomore midfielder Whitney Berry. Coach Mark Francis thought the team played well in the offensive end. "We created more scoring opportunities than we have all season," Francis said in a news release. "The girls played really hard and I think across the board, every single person that stepped on the field did a really good job." The Jayhawks had 13 shots against the Ducks; six came from Cressy. Oregon had 25 shots, but could not convert. Francis was pleased with how the team was competitive all weekend. He thought defeating a good Oregon team on the road was a good victory for the team. "This weekend we talked to them about competing and main-taining focus." Francis said in a news release. "Friday, I thought we competed really well but weren't focused all 90 minutes. Today I thought we were." The Jayhawks lost to California State University, Northridge (4-3), 1-0 in double-overtime on Friday. Kansas controlled much of the game, but it did not matter as CSUN scored a goal in the 102nd minute, which ended the game. Junior defender Brielle Slepicoff took the ball from midfield and dribbed down to the edge of the box and crossed it to senior forward Farryn Townley, who headed the ball in from three vards out. Kansas went 2-3 on its fivegame road trip. The team returns home to the Jayhawk Soccer Complex on Friday and will host UW-Milwaukee.

Kansas defeated Arkansas-Little Rock 3-0. Squad finishes second in tourney BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com "She had a great game tonight," The Jayhawks dropped to No. 3 in the Big 12 Conference after losing a long battle with No. 18 Northern Iowa in the second match of the weekend's Kansas Invitational. Kansas won victories over Winthrop and Arkansas-Little Rock, helped along by senior outside hitter Karina Garlington and sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree, both of whom were named for the all-tournament team. Tolefree, who reached a career high of 11 kills in two straight matches, said the team was looking to diversify its offense. "If you have to respect all the hitters in the front row, everyone is going one-on-one, and you open people up," Tolefree said. "So, we've been working on that, and working on just being a more dynamic team." Kansas, now 9-2, placed second in the tournament. Northern Iowa took first place, while Arkansas-Little Rock landed in third and Winthrop in fourth. In the Jayhawks' first match of the weekend, they saw the Winthrop Eagles — out of Rockhill, South Carolina — push the contest into four sets by coming alive in the third to win 29-27. Some credit for that goes to Eagles senior outside hitter Kaley Viola, who led her team with 17 kills. At many points in the match, Viola and Jayhawk Karina Garlington went back and forth, shot for shot. WINTHROP Garlington said of Viola. "We didn't seem to find an answer for her, so, you know, she stepped up for her team, too, and had a good night." But Garlington got the better of the exchange, adding a block to 27 kills. The lajahwaks took the fourth set 20-25 to win the match. NORTHERN IOWA At No. 18, the Northern Iowa Panthers were the first ranked opponent that the Jayhawks have seen in 2010, and the match against them lasted over two hours over five sets on Friday night. The Panthers took the first two sets 25-16 and 25-20, having better success with their offensive attacks and frustrating the Jayhawks' offense with over seventeen blocks. Handling the Panthers' offense partly fell to freshman defensive specialist Brianne Riley, who came up with 21 digs in the five games. "They run a really fast offense," Kiley said. "They get balls to deep corners, that most teams don't know how to get there. Usually we just call those 'good shots' but they consistently were hitting the said the key was to come out strong and make a sustained effort. "The offensive combinations were good," Tate said. "We have to throw the first punch." The Jayhawks won the third and fourth seats 23-25 and 20-25, respectively, forcing the Panthers into a fifth and final set. It went to Northern Iowa 15-11. Coach Ray Bechard said that Northern Iowa had a potential advantage in the endgame. "That was their fourth or fifth five-game match. And that fifth game just feels a little different because it's shorter, and there's more pressure, and they handled it better than we did. And sometimes you got to go through that to understand what if feels like. Now, hopefully, next time around, we'll handle that a little bit better." ARKANSAS-LITTLE ROCK KANKA balls to those good shots." On Saturday, Kansas outblocked Arkansas-Little Rock 12 to 4 and largely stifled their offensive efforts. The jayhawks swept the match with scores of 19-25, 13-25 and 19-25.

Nicole Tate saw her first start of the season and freshman Jaime Mathieu made her first appearance at libero in the third set. Coach Ray Bechard said in a release that he played everyone on the roster. "Sometimes when you do that, things get a little uneven and momentum changes. But we did block extremely well and we gave everybody an opportunity, which we wanted to see some people in different situations heading into Big 12 play on Wednesday."

"A lot of people hear us talking and all those things, but we are a hungry team right now. Our goal is to make the Super Bowl.

Jerry Wang ARKANSAS Jerry Wang/KANSAN 27 51 86 Freshman running back James Sims breaks away from a group of Georgia Tech defenders. Sims became the first freshman to record over 100 yards rushing in his debut as a jabawk Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Quote of the Game "That was the first time I've used that move. It was a quick decision I had to make since I was going against two defenders, so I just had to jump." — Freshman running back James Sims, on his hurdle against a Georgia Tech defender on a long rush Sims 3. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb: Save for a hard-luck interception on a bobble by one of his receivers, new starter Jordan Webb took the ball and ran with it. Actually, sophomore Kale Pick ran with it in a variety of Wildcat-like formations, but Webb got the vast majority of the plays on a day when he would throw three touchdown passes and kill the quarterback controversy – for now, at least. Game Balls 2. Kansas linebackers: Seniors Justin Springer, Drew Dudley and junior Steven Johnson combined for 34 tackles, six of them for losses, against one of the most prolific rushing offenses in the nation. Sophomore Toben Opurum converted to linebacker last month to help with depth issues at the position, but the performance of these three upper-classmen is giving him more time to adjust to the new role without a sense of urgency to play him. 1. Freshman running back James Sims: Sims became the first freshman in the program's history to rush for 100 yards in his debut. Not bad for a guy who did not see the field last week. Sims averaged 5.9 yards per carry and scored the go-ahead touchdown early in the third quarter. With his breakout performance, the freshman has forced the coaching staff to find a place for him when DeShaun Sands returns from injury. Delay of Games 3. Sophomore wide receiver Bradley McDougald: Yes, the sophomore continued his emergence with five catches and his first career touchdown grab, but it was his bobble on a routine pass that led to Webbs first career interception. 2. Senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson: Wilson is still one of the most talented players on the field, but he is quickly becoming an afterthought in a wide receiver group led by junior Daymond Patterson. Wilson finished with two catches and 24 yards. 1. Georgia Tech senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt: With the exception of one fluky drive, when the run-first Yellow Jackets quarterback had to throw the ball, he simply couldn't. The triple-option amassed 308 rushing yards on 52 carries, but Nesbitt could not hit wide-open receivers when his team was in comeback mode. No matter how gimmick an offense is, Nesbitt proved you at least need some passing ability as a quarterback to be successful in college football. Play of the Game Junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson resembled a human pinball as he bounced off of Georgia Tech tacklers, turning a short reception into a 32-yard touchdown that put the Jayhawks up double-digits in the fourth quarter. Game Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... Turner Gill, facing the heat after just one game as Jayhawks coach, silenced the critics by defeating one of the best teams in the country. Jordan Webb and James Sims gave Jayhawks fans a glimpse of things to come with their stellar debuts, and a bowl game is once again well within reach in their first seasons. THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY ... Missouri and Kansas State both looked phenomenal on Saturday. Granted, it was against weak opponents, but the Jayhawks laid an egg in their "tune-up" game against North Dakota State. BIGGEST ANSWER STILL QUESTIONING Jordan Webb seems to be the man the coaching staff was looking for at quarterback. Many questioned the short leash that pulled sophomore quarterback Kale Pick just three quarters into his career as a starter, but Webb managed to put the debate to rest with his impressive showing against the defending ACC champions. However, the freshman quarterback was sacked four times and must avoid the pressure better in the future. James Sims' breakout was almost as surprising as his flat-top hair style, but his teammates said after the game they knew he had it in him. Sims lobbed his coaches not to redshirt him this season, and the decision to keep him active seems to have paid off. However, freshman running back Deshaun Sands' leg injury does not appear to be serious and the team could have another playing-time controversy on their hands – this time with the running backs. LOOKING AHEAD The Jayhawks have a short week to enjoy the spoils of their upset victory; a matchup with Southern Mississippi looms this Friday night. The Golden Eagles have produced mixed returns this season, losing 41-13 to South Carolina in the season opener but defeating Prairie View A&M 34-7 last Saturday, but they should have no problem with motivation against the Jayhawks. Last season, Kansas handed Southern Mississippi their first loss of the season in a 35-28 nail-biter at Memorial Stadium on Sept. 26. Original prediction: Georgia Tech 36, Kansas 23. Actual score: Kansas 28, Georgia Tech 25. The Jayhawks defied expectations once again. The offense performed slightly better than expected, but it was the Kansas defense that shined on Saturday. Granted, the Yellow Jackets may have been closer to the original prediction had their quarterback been able to hit wide-open receivers, but knowing he could not was part of defensive coordinator Carl Torbush's brilliant game plan. FINALTHOUGHT ... Two games in to the season, the Jayhawks (1-1) stand where just about everyone thought they would be. They just took a much unexpected route to get here. The week preceding Saturday's game was one of the worst in program history with the loss to North Dakota State and the abrupt retirement of athletic director Lew Perkins. But with the student section unfilled for the first time in recent memory, the Jayhawks stunned the No. 15 ranked team in the nation and brought their program some good vibes, something that seemed like an impossibility just hours before kickoff.

Barbee placed 39th in last weekend's Turning Stone-Tier Intercourse! Jayhawks hope to improve rankings epadway@kansan.com BY ETHAN PADWAY The men's golf team will be playing in the Fairway Club Invitational in Nebraska City, Neb., on Monday and Tuesday. The team will be trying to improve on its six-place finish last weekend in the Turning Stone-Tiег Intercollegiate. "I expect to win," coach Kit Grove said. "We should have a great chance to go in there and compete." Senior Nate Barbee will be counted on to lead the team after his tie for 39th place in the Turning Stone-Tiger Intercollegiate last week. Joining him will be the same four who competed with Barbee last week; sophomores Chris Gilbert and Dan Waite, junior Doug Quinones, and freshman David Catt, who finished 15th, 57th, 28th, and 39th, respectively. The Jayhawks are hoping to take advantage of a more open course, but one that can turn dangerous if the wind picks up. "It's really based on wind conditions," Grove said. "There is a pretty good premium on driving the ball out here." When the wind dies down it offers players a chance to score low. "Turning Stone was really tight with trees and hazards," Barbee said. "This course is a little more open where you can make more birdies." In addition to the five members playing in the team competition, the Jayhawks will be entering two players, freshman Bryce Brown and senior Jeff Bell, as individual competitors. "Our big thing is having patience out there," Grove said. The Jayhawks are looking to turn things around and win their first tournament of the year. "We need to put five rounds together to rebound from last week and keep it under par," Barbee said.

Jayhawks rule running challenge Both teams led the pack in competition BY LAUREN NEWMAN inewman@kansan.com Both the men's and women's cross country teams have something to celebrate after their meet at the Missouri Cross Country Challenge on Saturday. The Kansas team competed against Missouri, UMKC, and Stephens College at the A.L. Gustin Golf Course in Columbia, Mo., where the men's team claimed first place and the women's team took second place. The men's team started their 8K race strong and finished first among the teams with a score of 19. The layhawks were able to claim all but one of the top five spots in the men's race. Their lead runner, junior Donny Wassinger, claimed first with a time of 25 minutes 17.5 seconds. Right behind him was senior Nick Caparario, who finished second overall with a time of 25:49. Juniors Zach Zarda and Austin Bussing came in at fourth and fifth place proving that the men's team was motivated to beat out their border rivals. for our upcoming competition." Wassinger was also pleased with the overall teamwork and effort the men's team has shown this season thus far. "We are happy with how everything went, but we are not resting here," Wassinger said. "We are continuing to prepare for the final goal of Nationals and keeping that in our minds as "We are happy with how everything went,but we are not resting here." Coach DONNY WASSINGER junior Stanley Redwine was very impressed and enthusiastic about the men's performance at the meet. "The men ran very well," Redwine said. "There was a great team effort and we are going to continue to get better to prepare we compete throughout the year." The women's team was only six points behind Missouri, but was still able to claim an overall second place win with a score of 31. Sophomore Allie Marquis made her debut for the season at the meet, placing second overall with a personal best time of 18:01.90 on the 5K course. Right behind Marquis was sophomore Tessa Turcotte, who placed third with a time of 18:22.69, and sophomore Kyra Kilwein, who placed sixth, timing in at 18:34.59. Other strong runners for the women's team were junior Cori Christensen and sophomore Natalie Becker. Assistant Coach Michael Whittlesey was elated with the women's performance at the Missouri Cross Country Challenge. I was really pleased with the women," Whittlesey said, "We are going to be much better in a few weeks when we get everybody together. It was really tight race, but we did well." NFL — Edited by Roshni Oommen ASSOCIATED PRESS Mendenhall carries Steelers to overtime win Rashard Mendenhall ran 50 yards for a touchdown 2:35 into overtime and the Steelers overcame a shaky start by replacement quarterback Dennis Dixon and a missed field goal attempt late in regulation to beat the Atlanta Falcons 15-9 on Sunday. PITTSBURGH — The Steelers are back to running the ball and playing exceptional defense. For one week, who needed Ben Roethlisberger? With the Steelers leaning heavily on their retooled running game and defense without suspended star Roeththisberger, Mendenhall carried 22 times for 120 yards and the game's only touchdown. Hines Ward made six catches for 108 yards in his club-record 26th career 100-yard game. Pittsburgh (1-0) appeared ready to win it with 39 seconds left in the fourth quarter, but Jeff Reed, who has nine career game-winning kicks, was wide right on a 40-yard attempt. Reed had hit earlier from 52, 36 and 34 yards. Atlanta (0-1) was limited to three Matt Bryant field goals as the Steelers held former All-Pro running back Michael Turner to 42 vards on 19 carries. The Steelers took a 9-6 lead on Reed's 34-yard near the midpoint of the fourth quarter, following catches of 25 and 24 yards on successive plays by Ward. The Falcons tied it with 3:24 remaining on Bryant's third field goal, a 23-yard, after deciding against going for it on four and a long 1 at the Pittsburgh 5. It was the third overtime game in as many Falcons-Steelers meetings. They played a 34-all tie in 2002 at Heinz Field, and Atlanta won 41-38 at home in 2006. Pittsburgh won its eighth consecutive season opener, the longest ongoing streak in the league. The Steelers also have won their past eight openers at home. Predictably, the Steelers came out with a conservative game plan with Dixon making his second career start. Roethlisberger served the first game of his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and because he is barred from all team activities, did not attend. Two Steelers starters went down with injuries. Neither returned, and their status wasn't known. YOUR TRUSTED LAWRENCE OPTOMETRIST.

Woods got off to a rugged start Sunday in the BMW Championship and shot 1-under 70, leaving too far back to get into the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standir.gs and qualify for the playoff finale at the Tour Championship. It will be the third time in five years that Woods has not played the Tour Championship. He missed in 2006 when he cut his season short, and in 2008 while recovering from knee surgery. This time, he's not going to East Lake because he's not eligible. His next tournament will be the Ryder Cup. Woods played with Phil Mick elson, who shot 67.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Brothers, coaches battle for OU win ASSOCIATED PRESS Surroundedbyfamily, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops reached out for a handshake and an embrace with his little brother, Mark. Associated Press Perhaps if No. 10 Oklahoma's 47-17 win on Saturday had come against a team other than No. 17 Florida State — with Mark Stoops coaching the defense — it would have felt a lot more satisfying for the Sooners' coach. Landry Jones outplayed Christian Ponder by throwing for 380 yards and four touchdowns against Mark Stoops' defense, and the Sooners (2-0) moved past their "It's a rotten place to be because I appreciate the way our team played and all that, but you just cannot separate blood," Bob Stoops said.

Ponder, who's being promoted as a Heisman Trophy contender by the school, was 11 for 28 for 113 yards with interceptions on back-to-back throws in the third quarter for Florida State (1-1). He completed less than half of his passes for the first time since the 2008 season. "It kind of just snowballed and I take a lot of blame for that," Ponder said. "A lot of mistakes out there today and I put my team in a bad position to not score points. I really think it's my fault." "We knew who we were, we knew what we were capable of, and we came out here and showed what we're capable of today." Jones said. "It's a rotten place to be because I appreciate the way our team played and all that, but you just cannot separate blood."

And I thought we did them well. "Christian Ponder's a great player. To hold him down the way we did, you have to be playing good defense because he's an excellent player." MLB Royals give up lead to White Sox ASSOCIATED PRESS Paul Konerko had a pair of two-run homers and an RBI single and pinch-hitter Andruw Jones hit grand slam in a six-run sixth inning, leading the Chicago White Sox to a 12-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. Konerko lined a run-scoring single to left to give Chicago its first lead of the game in the sixth inning. Kansas City led 6-0 after a half inning, but Chicago chipped away with two runs apiece in the first, third and fourth innings. The White Sox remain six games behind Minnesota, who beat Cleveland, and face the Twins in the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday. The Royals sent nine batters to the plate in the first, scoring six runs against starting pitcher Lucas Harrell on a pair of three-run home runs from Billy Butler and Brayan Pena. Konerko connected for his 35th homer of the season in the bottom half. Konerko hit his second two-run shot in the third, this time sending a 1-2 pitch on a towering fly to left field. He now has 27 career multihomer games, the last coming on June 2 against Texas. Chicago tied the game with a pair of fourth-inning runs. Juan Pierre had a sacrifice fly while Alexei Ramirez scored from third on a passed ball with Konerko at the plate. Dusty Hughes entered in relief and walked A.J. Pierzynski to score Alex Rios for an 8-1 lead. In the decisive sixth, the White Sox had runners on first and third when Konerko delivered single that brought home Omar Vizquel Humber then hit Manny Ramiez with a pitch to load the bases. Chris Getz left the game with a mild concussion after being hit in the head on a throw from Pierzynski, the catcher, while running to second in the fifth inning.

VOLUME 123 ISSUE 19 More pollen this fall, more allergies for you Abundant rainfall this year leads to higher pollen counts BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com from Bagweed Microscopic pollen particles are swirling through the air, triggering a wave of problems for autumn allergy sufferers — and this year might be worse than others. "It's ridiculous," said Lindyn Roush, a junior from Pleasanton, Calif. "I sneeze about six times an hour." "It's been a double-whammy this year," Frick said. Weed pollen counts have the potential to be record-breaking this year, and tree pollen counts were 1,000 times above average this spring, said Dr. Warren Frick of Asthma, Allergy & Rheumatology Associates in Lawrence. Those who suffer from allergies might have: - Itchy, watery eyes Runny nose Headache Dallas Peterson, weed control specialist at the K-State Research and Extension office, said ragweed counts are higher this year - Headache - Snoring - Sneezing - Asthma because of abundant rainfall Kansas received during the spring and summer. - Asthma Ragweed pollen counts reached 1,893 particles per cubic meter yesterday, according to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Weed pollen - Coughing - Wheezing - Shortness of breath counts above 500 particles per cubic meter are registered as very high pollen counts according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. The pollen from these weeds might be microscopic,but the consequences for allergy sufferers aren't. "It's ridiculous. I sneeze about six times an hour." Chase Bray, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said this fall allergy season has been hitting him pretty hard. Frick said ragweed gets all the attention, but weeds like English plantain, Russian thistle (tumbleweed), pigweed, lambsquarters and sage also influence allergies this time of year. LINDYN ROUSH Pleasanton, Calif., junior "It drives you crazy," Bray said. Ragweed "It drives you crazy," Bray said. Sometimes Bray feels like he can't go outside without dealing with itchy eyes or an annoying tickle in his nose. Chris Reynolds, a senior from Topeka, said he's most allergic to ragweed. He said his hay fever really kicked in about two weeks ago. "It's probably the strongest since I can remember," Reynolds said. He said when he is in an area with a lot of pollen he is hit with itchy eyes, a runny nose and an itchy nose and face. Frick said pollen can blow in from hundreds of miles away and affect people in Kansas, and it could cause problems for allergy sufferers until the first hard freeze. Edited by Alex Tretbar "It could be three weeks from now or it could be three months from now," Frick said. TIPS FOR AVOIDING POLLEN - Stay inside,when possible. - Keep your house windows closed and the air conditioning on. - Vacuum frequently, including furniture. - Wash pets that are outside and come inside. rial Health Center - Wash your hair nightly to remove any pollen. Patty Quinlan. nurse supervisor at Watkins Memo 1000 WHAT SHOULD I DO? Avoiding pollen is the best way to evade allergy symptoms, said Dr. Warren Frick of Asthma, Allergy & Rheumatology Associates in Lawrence. But that's not always the easiest thing to do. Frick said there are three treatment options for allergy sufferers. Sage 1. Over-the-counter medicines Claritin, Zyrtec or generic brands are non-drowty or anti-histamines that will help reduce the severity of the symptoms for most allergy sufferers. Allergy eye drops can help itchy and watery eyes. 2. Nasal Sprays If over-the-counter medicines don't help, the next step is a nasal spray. 3. Allergy shots If medication isn't making a person feel better or if they have side effects from medication, allergy shots are a treatment option. WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT? Forecasted pollen levels Source:weather.com Very high High Medium Low Today Tomorrow Thursday Graphic By Kelly Stroda/KANSAN CAMPUS KU KANSAS Evan Palmer/KANSAN Megan Do, a senior from Wichita works on the third floor of Anschutz Library at the newest KI Info Location. KU Info increases use options and services BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com Even though search engines play a large role in providing quick answers, there are always those times when the answer to a nagging question can prove difficult to find. Fortunately for students at the University, there is an informational service on campus that continues to serve that exact need. KU Info, which began as a rumor control hotline in 1970, has established itself under director Curtis Marsh as a reliable question-and-answer service at the University with threekiosks and a growing online database. Since 2005, when Marsh took the reins of KU Info, the service has gone from answering 100 questions a day to 300 a day in 2010. "We just want students to know there is a place to go when they don't know where else to go." Marsh said. Kelly Unger, a senior from Overland Park and KU Info employee, said that the free service's reach extends much further than just current students. "More than anything, I'm surprised when alumni call and they still know the telephone number and use our service," Unger said. KU Info's current stability didn't come easy, however. Throughout the 1990s, KU Info struggled to maintain adequate funding as the Internet took on a greater role in student life. The service required significant student salary dollars in order to maintain it, and with major statewide budget cuts after 9/11, KU Info eventually lost its financial support in 2002. After being moved to the reference desk of Anschutz Library, KU Info redefined itself to remain a valid program. With the strength of several petitions and online protests by students, a new funding structure was established by University leadership and Marsh was chosen as the fifth director of KU Info. "We brought the program back to the Union and hired students to devote full attention to KU Info users," Marsh said. The new KU Info provided a three-pronged approach to service: phone, online and in-person. The main transformation was the creation of a searchable SEE INFO ON PAGE 3A STUDENT SUCCESS New position creates hope for higher retention rates BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton.kansan.com As part of the reorganization of Student Success, Marlesa Roney created a new position to Roney Melvin focus on Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's initiative. Roney said part of improved retention and graduation rates is making sure that the University recruits students who can be successful in the first place. improve the University's retention and graduation rates through enrollment and recruitment. Roney based the hiring of Matt Melvin, who currently serves as the associate provost for enrollment management at the University of Central Missouri, on his track record and experience. "This position applies to that overall theme and it begins with effective recruitment," Roney said. For Roney, the new position is merely a part of the overall reorganization of Student Success. Melvin said his job would be to work within Student Success and across campus to create a set of enrollment strategies. These strategies, he said, would be designed to help achieve and maintain ideal recruitment, retention and graduation rates. "This is about really moving us forward as a University and developing a true enrollment plan to understand what our capacities are in different academic areas," Roney said. "Then we will be able to build a plan that effectively delivers the numbers of students to meet their capacity." No mechanical changes will take place during the enrollment process for future students because of Melvin's new position, Roney said, but changes will take place in terms of communicating with prospective students about opportunities. "We are thinking about how we can personalize a student's experience from the first contact by the University to graduation and beyond," Roney said.

'Drunk' driving is used to teach valuable lesson BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com Drinking and driving don't naturally relate to school. But today the Kansas Union is hosting the Save a Life Tour, which interactively demonstrates to students the dangers of getting behind the wheel after drinking. This alcohol awareness program includes a drinking and driving simulator, where students can drive a car while "drunk" to see how impairing it is. Sarah Witt, a freshman from Wichita, said she was surprised to Jenny McKee, a health educator for Student Health Services, said the tour is coming to the University in response to issues with drinking and driving. In 2006, KU students self-reported that they drank and drove after having five or more drinks, which is 4.5 times more than the national average. McKee said these numbers were down in 2009, but they were still significantly higher than elsewhere in the country. learn about the statistics. "That's crazy. I didn't think it was that bad here," Witt said. "We have SafeRide and stuff, so you'd think they'd use stuff like that." Mckee said she thought students didn't drink and drive intentionally. "When it happens, it's because individuals get into situations where they hadn't planned on drinking, and then all of a sudden they're in that party atmosphere," McKee said. "So they end up having a drink, and then that turns into two or three, and then they end up driving under the influence." McKee said she hoped that the Save A Life Tour's visual aids would make the event memorable for students. "Doing a presentation or doing a table event, while you can distribute lots of information that way, you may not be as effective," McKee said. "With this, it's like seeing is believing." In addition to the drinking and driving simulator, the event includes a coffin display. McKee said that some of the events may be uncomfortable for students to see. Jill Sullivan, a sophomore from Chicago, said she thought programs similar to the Save A Life Tour could be effective in preventing drinking and driving. "If you see a coffin, you're not going to want to drink and drive," Sullivan said. The Save A Life Tour lasts from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is free.

Instead of competing with the Internet, KU Info took full advantage of it, transitioning to a service that helped students find information. "In the pre-Internet days, KU Info was tucked away in a back room that was filled to the ceiling with reference books, encyclopedias and file cabinets," Marsh said. "The biggest change we've made is putting everything online so that anyone can access our resources from the web" Sarah Murphy, a senior from Atchison and KU Info employee, said that the conversion has proven popular among students. "The biggest change we've made is putting everything online..." "We actually have a lot of students who will text us. It's very efficient, as we check our e-mail often," Murphy said. In addition to new kiosks on Jayhawk Boulevard and at the Learning Studio at Anschutz Library, KU Info has also begun utilizing other mediums like text messages, Twitter, and Facebook. This technological makeover allows the service to be more readily available to students. CURTIS MARSH KU Info director While the move online has proven invaluable to KU Info and should help sustain it for years to come, Marsh believes that there is no substitute for the human element when it comes to navigating the University environment. "This school is a big, complicated place. When I am confused about something, I want to speak to a real person who cares and wants to help solve my problem. Our students have that in KU Info," Marsh said. 90 percent of the questions received at KU Info are KU-related. Here are some of the other 10 percent: How much would it cost to fill an Olympic swimming Jello? -About 5.06 million for the packages of Jello alone. The numbers: Olympic pool: 660,000 US gallons (or 10,560,000 cups) One package of Jello Makes two cups. Approximate cost of one package of Jello: 96 cents How many trees are on campus? The fresh, new total number of trees on campus is 29,525. That just happens to coincide very closely with the number of students on campus. In Fall'07, an undergraduate global information systems (GIS) class did a tree density study on West Campus. They concluded that there are 19,425 trees on West Campus. We combined that with the 5,100 trees on main campus that Facilities Operations maintain, along with an estimated 5,000 that they don't maintain. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Well, it depends. Well, it depends. If you believe the owl from the commercial, it takes three. If you are looking for a more scientific answer, here's what one site said: After three trials, the average number of licks came to 413. What is the meaning of life? If you want KU Info's take on it, it's important to understand that it comes with a bias toward the notion that KU Info is the center of the universe. So the meaning of life must be a combination of two theories: 1) Information is king, so the meaning of life is a journey toward ultimate knowledge... and 2) KU is possibly the coolest place anywhere, so the meaning of life is a journey toward happiness, which can best be found at the University of Kansas. ACADEMICS Hebrew classes see all new staff BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New year, started Sept. 9 — a new beginning to a new year. It's a fitting theme for the Jewish Studies Department, which welcomed an entirely new set of Hebrew instructors for the 2010-2011 school year. Davidman said she and the staff were happy with the new faculty and excited to add a variety of new features to the department. "There was no mass walk out," said Lynn Davidman, director of Jewish Studies. "Just a series of events, sort of like a domino effect." Justin Held, a sophomore from Minnesota, said he was pleased with the new faculty members. "I like it, because I really didn't like the old ones and I kind of butted heads with them." Davidman said the department held a thorough search for qualifi with college teaching experience, fluency in Hebrew and a preference for natives of Israel. Davidman said the department found what it needed and was excited about the addition of four qualified new staff members: Orit Kamara, Galit "I am very excited to be teaching here," Orit Kamara said. "They understand we are all new and we get a lot of support." New instructors are not the only recent change in the Hebrew Department. Davidman said the "I am very excited to be teaching here. They understand we are all new and we get a lot of support." department would like to become more technologically advanced, by utilizing multimedia to help students connect and speak in Hebrew with students from colleges in Israel. That way, when students ORIT KAMARA Hebrew instructor make a trip to Israel they can reconnect with the students they spoke to online. Davidman said this would help bring the Israeli culture to life for students at the University. "Wed like to bring in a more personal approach, have more activities in which instructors interact with students outside the class room," Davidman said. The faculty departures allowed Davidman to teach a course this year, a first for her during her time at the University. "I will be teaching the class quite differently," Davidman said, "with emphases on rituals, social groups, annual events, lifetime events, beliefs, different organizations, Judaism, new movement. Stay tuned for the rest." — Edited by Roshni Oommen in both quantity and diversity of its entering students, while maintaining academic quality, despite significant increases in tuition and fees. SUCCESS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) "The university has also witnessed its highest persistence, retention and graduation rates during my time period." Melvin said. Typically, enrollment professionals use key metrics surrounding quality, quantity, diversity, retention rates and graduation rates, Melvin said, to evaluate their success. Melvin said that although those metrics are important, they are really the byproduct of improved student services, student learning, student growth and student development. "Thus, my goal in a very global sense is to fully leverage, integrate and align our people, processes and technology to wrap around the individual student and facilitate their transition into, through and out of the university." Melvin said. Melvin said he chose the University because it had a powerful brand, which facilitates both recruitment and retention efforts. Melvin said the depth and breadth of the academic portfolio provides a competitive advantage in the recruitment marketplace. Melvin also chose to move to Lawrence for personal reasons. He said the move would allow his family to stay close to the Kansas City area, where several family members live. Melvin will start his new position Oct. 4. Melvin said he was extremely excited and deeply humbled to join the University. "I look forward to serving prospective students and their families as we seek to elevate and enhance programs and services designed to attract, retain, graduate and place students," MELvin said. — Edited by Roshni Oommen INTERNATIONAL Thailand senators promote kickboxing BANGKOK — Two Thai senators fought it out Monday in front of Parliament, but this was no political grudge match - they wanted to promote traditional Thai kickboxing. "It's good that I can still stand," 59-year-old Payap Tongchuen joked after donning gloves and trunks and going two rounds with Direk Tungfang in a boxing ring set up for the occasion in front of the parliament building in Bangkok. The referee declared the fighters — both former professional boxers — joint victors. Spectators thought Direk, 64, from Nonthaburi province just north of Bangkok, outclassed his opponent from the eastern province of Sa Kaeo, knocking him down once. Both men sit in the upper house where lawmakers have no party affiliation. "The aim is to market Thai boxing, as Muay Thai at the international level," said Direk. "It is also to campaign for the younger generations to maintain this traditional sport." Muay Thai, as Thai kickboxing is known, is the national sport and its popularity has been growing worldwide. Fighters employ punches, kicks and elbow and knee strikes against their opponents. The event was set up by the Senate's sports committee, and the opening demonstration on the day's card was between a pair of 8-year-old boys. Associated Press VotedBest Pizza in Lawrence!

"A miracle occurred today," said Rangel Gomez, referring to the number of survivors. It was unclear what caused the crash. Workers at the state-run Sidor steel foundry pulled people from the smoking wreckage of the plane owned by Venezuelan state airline Conviasa, and officials said 36 passengers and crew survived.

He said that Conviasa Flight 2350 had taken off from Margarita Island — a Caribbean island that is one of Venezuela's top tourist destinations — and crashed shortly before reaching its destination, the airport of Puerto Ordzain. The state airline, Consorcio Venezolano de Industrias Aeronauticas y Servicios Aeros SA, began operations in 2004. It says it serves destinations in Venezuela, the Caribbean, Argentina, Iran and Syria. In a statement, President Hugo Chavez lamented the crash and sent his condolences to relatives of the victims. Chavez praised rescue teams and Sidor workers for saving injured passengers. The socialist leader said the government is investigating to "clarify the causes of this very lamentable incident." "All Venezuelans are mourning, full of sorrow and tears as a result of this tragedy." Chavez wrote.

Advertising Age noticed that the commercial breaks in "Entourage" have reached epic proportion. According to the industry publication, commercial breaks that run six minutes are not uncommon and there have even been breaks in the 10-minute range. Normally, commercial breaks on broadcast television run three minutes or so, and cable has breaks of more than four minutes. Cable networks also often have more commercial breaks in their shows and movies than the broadcast networks, particularly in their repeats. But commercial breaks of more than six minutes are a sure-fire way to drive viewers to another channel. Of course, part of the reason Spike is loading up "Entourage" with so many commercials because the audience is small. Spike, a unit of cable programming giant Viacom Inc's MTV Networks, shelled out $600,000 per episode to HBO for "Entourage" in the hopes that it would draw a big audience and serve as a platform for the channel to promote its original shows, such as "Blue Mountain State." Instead, "Entourage" has received low ratings, though in theory the testosterone-filled show about movie star Vinnie Chase, his pals and his foul-mouthed agent Ari Gold, should be right in Spike's wheelhouse. Why it hasn't worked remains a mystery, but that's why buying rurs can sometimes be dicey. The ideal length of a commercial break is one in which the viewer has time to run to the kitchen or maybe the bathroom, not one where he or she can, as Advertising Age put it. "brown a chicken for a casserole or walk briskly around the block."

In pain, the child learns immediately to never touch the hot stove again. As college students, we (should) learn that procrastinating is never a great idea. We should constantly be learning from mistakes we've made in the past, and move on with our lives. I believe we must also learn from past mistakes and refrain from making the same mistakes pertaining to our economy. There was a depression in 1920-1921 that isn't mentioned in history very much. Unemployment rates went up, and the economy was not looking too good. But when I think of the Roaring 20s, I think of economic prosperity and low unemployment rates. Something had to have happened to transition the economy from a depression to instant stability. The answer lies with the policies and decisions of Former President Harding. Realizing that there was a depression, he simply limited government spending and cut taxes. Author Thomas E. Woods Jr. writes in an article that by 1922, "unemployment was back down to 6.7 percent and it was only 2.4 scoop Seth's Scoop BY SETH ROBINSON BY SETH ROBINSON srobinson@kansan.com rent by 1923" percent by 1923." The Great Depression happened under Hoover's presidency. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment was at 8.9 percent at the end of 1930. Hoover began laying the foundation for Roosevelt's New Deal by increasing government spending and intervention. The New Deal was a massive government spending mechanism put in place to fix the effects of the Great Depression. Roosevelt believed that increased spending was the best way to stabilize the economy. Instead, the unemployment rate was at a staggering 24.9 percent by the end of 1933. Americans rioted in the streets because a lot of people couldn't even afford food. It became such a problem for police that tear gas was even used in some instances. relevance to today. I believe that President Obama's stimulus packages are precisely what the New Deal was. History is the best way to know what does and doesn't work. Massive government spending did not, and will not, help the economy. The New Deal and actions of President Roosevelt have much Last Wednesday, President Obama gave a speech to the city of Cleveland about the shape of our economy. After reading his text, I was shocked at how many distortions were in it. One of his distortions was that "job growth between 2000 and 2008 was slower than it had been in any economic expansion since World War II." Just like Harding, Bush cut taxes and didn't increase government spending as much as President Obama has. The unemployment rate during this time never went above 7 percent. Jobs were actually being created. With increased government spending, there is less money for the private sector to spend. Consequently, this increases the prices of movies, food at the underground, or even buying underwear. We need our government officials to stop touching the stove! CARTOON Robinson is a senior from Houston in civil engineering. Rent-A- Textbook ENG HIST BIO MATH PSYCH SOC CHEM ANT EDU THUD THE LARIAT/UWIRE US underestimates power of the Iranian people to push for change With Iran creeping closer and closer to nuclear arms capability, discussions have focused on how the global community is going to halt progress, or at least delay the inevitable. The United States estimates that Iran could achieve its goal within a year, and diplomats and politicians from each country have made ominous pronouncements about how far we'll go to thwart Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's efforts and maintain the status quo of the Middle Eastern nuclear balance. Perhaps, though, we are forgetting about another deterrent force: the Iranian people themselves. Sure, we can count on the United States and Israel to be unhappy about the way things are going in Iran. But what about the citizens who will face economic sanctions and the even harsher punitive actions of the United Nations, the United States or Israel, which are looming? Iranians didn't sign on to Ahmadinejad's brand of crazy they have just as much interest in nonproliferation as do the United States, Israel and any other nation that views the increase in presence of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East as a destabilizing force. When Ahmadinejad was a relative newcomer on the political scene, the fact that he wasn't a cleric was a major draw for most voters who were sick of the religious elite's corruption. Last year's election, however, and the massive protests of Ahmadinejad's fiercely contested win, made it clear that the country as a whole doesn't hold his aggressive views. What's more, they don't seem to appreciate his inflammatory rhetoric on the international stage, which puts the nation's security at risk. This is the nation of people who ousted the Shah and surely dealt Ahmadinejad's ego a blow during the 2009 demonstrations in support of the opposing candidate, Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Clearly, they have skills to mobilize support. The question is whether or not conditions exist within Iran that could foster the rise of an effective counterforce to Ahmadinejad's nuclear vendetta. On a purely practical level, there is room within the state's strict control for communication and organization. Funnily enough, Kanye West's home turf, Twitter, was a vital tool for reaching would-be protesters during last year's election demonstrations in Iran. Reformist websites and blogs helped mobilize those who might not have heard of the nature or scale of the protests. This is not to say that a mass revolution is necessary to delay Iran's nuclear efforts, just that other opinions and interests have an audience within the country. There are also signs of tension among Ahmadinejad and other top government officials. Some high-level bureaucrats refused to attend his swearing-in after the 2009 election, and many of his appointments for his Cabinet have been rejected by the Mailis, the Iranian parliament. Despite the frightened fervor over Iran's quest for nuclear capacity and Ahmadinejad's outrageous and provocative remarks on the issue, it is still the case that the president does not solely control nuclear policy. The person directly in charge of Iran's nuclear program is Ayatollah Khamenei, who often supports Ahmadinejad in many ways and sees nuclear energy as an alternative when oil runs out; however, he also issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons. Ahmadinejad's uncompromising and radical stance has enabled opposition leaders and reformists to gain legitimacy. Iranian voters have learned from his time in office to support more moderate candidates who won't continue to alienate Iran on the international playing field. These relatively promising conditions have encouraged the U.S. State Department in its efforts to support alternatives to Ahmadinejad, but our continued interference in Iran's domestic political scene is unwelcomed, even by the opposition forces we want to support. Mousavi and other politicians opposing Ahmadinejad have expressed frustration with U.S. involvement. They argue that Ahmadinejad and his supporters are able to discredit them by associating their movements with the United States and blame the problems of Iran on outside forces interfering domestically. No one wants to deal with the unsettling possibility of Iran achieving nuclear capacity, especially not the Iranians who will have to deal with the consequences. While the United States may see opportunities to alter the current course of events, we would be well advised to step back and allow Iranians some leeway to counter their unpredictable president. We shouldn't underestimate the power of the Iranian people themselves. -From Uwire. Elise Garofalo for The Hoya at Georgetown University HUMOR Parties require bigger and more original themes W when I was a sophomore in high school. I was elected the Under Observation class vice president. I ran on a whim, figuring such a position would look good on a college resume but not actually require much in the way of work. I was right, though I spent much of my unremarkable term worrying our president would be assassinated for his controversial views on diet soda in the vending machines, thereby thrusting me into a position of slightly-more-than-zero responsibility. One of the main (only) things we did in student council was determine the themes of the school dances. This was a perfect opportunity for us to show our creativity and give our students a unique experience. Naturally, this opportunity was squandered. All of my brilliant theme ideas were shot down in favor of trite, overdone stuff like "One Night in Paris." "A Diamond is Forever" and "Meet Me at the Motel 8". I suspect our nation's myopic focus on standardized testing is the cause for such creative indifference. In college, themes are still in demand. Sometimes, a house party requires something special to add some zest to the usual weekend get-together. If you're looking to embrace creativity and give your next party a top-notch theme, maybe these suggestions will help. Viva la Industrial Revolution!: Ever wish the party could just keep going, nonstop? Well, with this theme, partygoers will be required to party for up to 16 hours without a break! Come dressed as a 19th century factory worker, but don't worry about the soot – it'll be pumped into the house throughout the evening (and morning and afternoon). Best of all, you can bring your kids! What they'll lose in bone mass, they'll make up for in memories. er avation Temperance: Movin' It!: Don't BY ALEX NICHOLS worry. This theme won't preclude you from serving alcohol, which, as we all know, is absolutely required for anybody to ever enjoy themselves at all. The fun starts when actors from the local historical society come dressed in petticoats to protest the presence of said alcohol and glare judgmentally at you for drinking it. Kick back, relax, and enjoy the old-timey activism! Actual Trash: The "White Trash" theme has been particularly popular in the last few years. Well, with this theme, partygoers come dressed as their favorite piece of literal trash. Whether you choose the classic crumpled-up ball of paper, the beloved cigarette butt or the vastly underrated improperly-disposed laptop battery, you're sure to have a truly trashy time. Also, this theme makes decorating a snap: just empty a few trash cans around the house or apartment and you've got an instant landfill that will get people "wasted" in no time. Good Riddance: Most nostalgia-themed parties focus around things we remember fondly. This theme celebrates all the things we don't miss at all. Come dressed as your least favorite character or celebrity from back in the day and get down (as in, "depressed") to the awful music of whichever era you were raised in. Now excuse me while I put the finishing touches on my Captain Planet costume and pick up some Creed CDs from the discount bin. Nichols is a senior from Stilwell in creative writing. "I guess Bush just had better 'handlers' than Obama has. In fact, I think one of Obama's biggest problems is that he doesn't seem to have any handlers at all. He is out there flailing around incoherently with nobody in the staff seasoned enough to talk some sense into him every once in a while." "Everyone wants faster solutions to relationship issues, yet no one realizes that you have to deal with everything as it comes. You deal with the small issues immediately so they don't develop into large ones. But...in this day and age, so many people don't seem to want to take the time to make things work-Hopefully, that's not true for our generation."

Watching clouds, loving peace BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com Students, drop your guns and grab your guitars. The unofficial group, Cloud Watchers Jamming for World Peace, has made its way to the front lawn of the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, where members gather once a week to play their guitars, talk and stare at the sky. "It makes the world twice as peaceful, that's what I say," said Josh Longbottom, the unofficial group founder and associate pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church. "You can't hold a gun and a guitar at the same time and the more people who are watching clouds and playing guitar, the less hungry, the less isolated they are, the more nourished and wholesome the whole world will be." The meetings began after one of the ECM's weekly veggie lunches. Longbottom said he was inspired by a dream he had the night before. "I had a dream that I was floating on a cloud playing a sitar and Ganesha was floating on another cloud playing a guitar," Bottombottom said. "So, that day I just grabbed a pizza box and wrote on it, 'Cloud Watchers jamming for World Peace.' I don't know, it's just what I thought of in the moment so I wrote that down and hammered the sign into the ground, spread a blanket and people started picking up guitars and playing songs they were working on or singing Beatles covers" Shannon Gorres, office administrator for the ECM, participated with the group in the past and says that the gatherings are open to people of varying ideological values. "All of the ECM programs are open to anyone," Gorres said. "People of any faith tradition and people of no Since its first meeting, the group of three to eight people continues to meet on Thursdays after the veggie lunch. "It makes the world twice as peaceful, that's what I say. You can't hold a gun and a guitar at the same time." "It only happens on Thursdays when it's a nice day," Longbottom said. "It's all situational." JOSH LONGBOTTOM Group founder faith tradition." Group gatherings typically have less than 10 people. While their tactics of promoting peace do not involve passing out fliers or protesting, Cloud Watchers encourage harmony in the world by taking the time to relax and have good conversations "It totally depends on comings and goings and who knows who and who sits down," Longbottom said. "There's not a formal group or membership or anything." with the people around them. "People probably just think that it's a hippie thing or something." Longbottom said. "I mean, its cloud watcher jamming for world — I don't even like jamming. I like pop songs." — Edited by Roshni Oommen SCHOOL OF BUSINESS CAREER FAIR SEPTEMBER 16, 12-5PM 5th Floor, Kansas Union BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE REQUIRED GET AHEAD All Majors Welcome!

"The staff and the other guests are a community for people who are dealing with mental illness. We provide a sense of family for those folks, and when they come back from the mental hospital we are a base for them" BY MEG LOWRY "If you are mentally ill you can't handle it on your own; you need support and medication and someone to talk to," Waugh said. "It is heartbreaking to know that people are being turned away. People tend to forget that people who are mentally ill are not just problems, they are people." "Everybody should have good family and friends," she said. "You know, a support system to help out so no one is alone. Everyone should try to help out." Steph Waugh, a senior from Topeka, understands the importance of resources to the mentally ill. Her sister Melinda Waugh, 28, is schizophrenic. Melinda Waugh said she knows that her schizophrenia and the mental illnesses of all who are affected by them cannot be battled alone. Roy Menninger, president of the Kansas Mental Health Coalition, has issued a public plea to the Legislative Budget Committee to refrain from making any further cuts. He said cutting off Kansans from being able to voluntarily admit themselves to a state psychiatric hospital will worsen their condition and put them at risk of harm or even death. "All we can do is coordinate," Ruttinger said. "We have staff in the jail that are there every day to work with inmates with mental illness. If there is any takeaway message, it's that the state really needs to look at their system and its management." Kansas mental health hospitals denied voluntary admission to patients seeking care during two periods between May and July because of overcrowding. According to NAMI, there are four to five times more people with serious mental illness in the state prison system than the licensed bed capacity in state mental health hospitals. As a result, organizations such as Bert Nash have to take a different treatment approach. The homeless population of Lawrence is also affected by this lack of funding. Mental illness causes more disabilities than any other class of illness in the nation. One in four Americans will experience mental illness, and twice as many live with schizophrenia than with HIV or AIDS. "We work very closely with the hospitals, at the point where they had to make that decision we were aware," said Eunice Ruttinger, director of adult services at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. "So we had contingency plans. If someone was a client of ours that we knew and was at risk and needed to be hospitalized, we had to look to other communities." Hospitals had to decline admission from May 19 to May 26 and July 16 to July 20, the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services said. "I think the health centers statewide have been recommending that there need to be more beds," Ruttinger said. "We do not have enough room in the system statewide or in the community, and that's the main problem." "We need to be very cognizant of the fact that we have a population of people that need our help," Ruttinger said. "Having housing is so important for the mentally ill. Bert Nash, an outpatient mental health center in Lawrence, offers counseling and support programs in addition to treatment for the mentally ill. Ruttinger said any closure of a hospital is extremely damaging. "It creates a lot of anxiety in a system when it happens," Ruttinger said. "If this was sustained it could be a very serious problem. We can adapt to shorter periods of time, but it's not ideal. It's extremely concerning for us." To be alone and paranoid with no place to go is just unthinkable. In a 2009 report issued by the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Kansas received an overall grade of "D" for mental health care. Rick Cagan, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Kansas, said the state hospitals were "starved for resources." If a patient was already checked into Bert Nash's system, the facility could help provide other options to compensate for hospital closures. However, those who were not may have no resources to turn to. Edited by Anna Nordling "It is always detrimental when you don't have options." Ruttinger said. "If people go into a crisis and are screened away from the hospital, we can't guarantee that we will be able to find and help them." ASSOCIATED PRESS No Border Patrol agents were hurt during the "firefight" early Saturday in Mission, agency spokeswoman Rosalinda Huey said. She did not say whether Border Patrol gunfire hit anyone, citing the ongoing investigation. SAN ANTONIO — U.S. Bornee Patrol agents fired gunshots into Mexico after coming under attack during a half-ton drug bust and giving chase to a truck along the Rio Grande, U.S. authorities said Monday. FEDERAL "The firing they received came from the Mexican side," Huey said. Border Patrol agents fire shots into Mexico during a drug bust Huey said several Border Patrol agents, at least some of whom were patrolling in boats, were seizing a half-ton of marijuana when they came under gunfire. Federal officials said the shots from Mexico began when a truck that was being chased by another group of Border Patrol agents entered the area. FBI special agent Jorge Cisneros said the truck, which was on the U.S. side, appeared to be connected to the drug seizure. He said the gunfire from Mexico was a "direct result" of Border Patrol agents doing their jobs. "We're obviously concerned with what happened, that they would be shooting from the Mexico side to us," Cisneros said. Federal officials did not release how many agents were involved, how many shots were fired or the number of shooters on the Mexico side. Cisneros said the FBI was working with Mexico authorities, including the Mexican military and the Tamaulipas state police, to determine what happened. It was at least the second time in three months that Border Patrol agents in Texas have fired into Mexico. In June, a Border Patrol agent fatally shot a 15-year-old Mexican boy after authorities say a group try to illegally enter Texas threw rocks at officers near downtown El Paso. Cisneros said he can recall a handful of times in the last few years that gunfire from Mexico has crossed over the border. He said Border Patrol agents "have always been very good about not shooting back unless there is a life-threatening situation."

Now after his record-breaking performance against Georgia Tech during Saturday's win, Jayhawk fans have something else to talk to the freshman running back about. P. A. SOMERZI Sims, filling in for injured freshman running back Deshaun Sands, became the first freshman in school history to rush for 100 yards in his debut. He also scored the touchdown that would put the Jayhawks up for good early in the fourth quarter. Sims Junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson knew Sims would make difference, but nobody saw the monster game from the backup true freshman coming. "I didn't have any expectations for yardage, but I knew he was going to produce," Patterson said. "james is a heck of a running, back, and I saw that when he came in. I'm really happy for him. I'm proud of him because he's really put in a lot of work and stepped up, and I'm glad he did when he did." Sims breaks school record in his college debut against Georgia Tech Before saturday's performance, fans may have confused a helmet less Sims as an extra from the movie "Hot Tub Time Machine." After all, it isn't often one sees a hi-top fade hairstyle around Lawrence, especially on someone born in the early '90s. "I just wanted to keep it old school, be a little different." Sims said. "I get laughed at, and I get compliments. I like it, it's just my style." A native of Irving, Texas, Sims came into camp on the heels of a 1,762 yard, 20 touchdown senior season at MacArthur High School. Sims felt he could contribute right away. Sims was disappointed when he didn't have a carry in the season opener against North Dakota State, but the first-year back knew his time would come sooner or later. "He came in and I could tell he wanted to play; he didn't want to red-shirt;" said freshman quarterback Jordan Webb. "I think he proved this week that he deserves to be out there." "After not playing the last game, I was a little upset, but I knew I had to bounce back and work even harder", Sims said.

"It was a great feeling just knowing the fans like me and like everything we're doing with this program," Sims said. "We just want to keep it going." After the Jayhawks defeated the No. 15 Yellow Jackets, the fans rushed the field and swarmed Sims, among others. Some fans told Sims to keep running while others complimented his unique hairdo. The experience was surreal for Sims, who just last week heard the fans boo his teammates from the sidelines. BASKETBALL Children's clinic draws ex-players Aldrich and Collison participate in clinic held in Wichita for young sports fans BYTIM DWYER tdywer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDK basketball WICHITA — The Oklahoma City Thunder's "Thunder Rally" this Sunday in Wichita was a basketball clinic for seven- to 14-year-olds. But the kid having the most fun was the biggest one there. Cole Aldrich — all 6 feet, 11 inches of him — was all smiles as he swatted away shot after shot Aldrich Aldrich PETER HAYLEY Collison from young fans half his size who were thrilled with the chance to try to get one past their idol.

And I get to shot block." kids coming at him from layup lines on either side, Aldrich blocked every shot he could get a hand on to the sounds of laughter and "ooohs" from the participants and their families. The biggest cheer of the day came when a kid snuck a layup under Aldrich's right side when he was distracted with the left. With the Aldrich and Nick Collison, a pair of former Jayhawks that will anchor the post for the Thunder this year, spent their afternoon participating in drills with Wichita youths and answering questions about playing in the NBA. "Nick as kind of a mentor coming into the league early, I guess, as a young kid — it's just really fun to have him around," Aldrich said. After answering questions from "Will you sign my shirt?" — yes — to "Who would win a game of one-on-one?" — Collison said they've played to five twice and split the games — the pair split up to rotate through five different stations, spending most of their time in the post and volleyball spiking shots across the gym. "Me and Cole, personally, obviously have very strong ties to Kansas, playing here in college," Collison said. "We had a lot of fun here, and Wichita is obviously a very big part of the Kansas family." They also took a little time from their day to talk about their connection to Kansas and the upcoming season for Oklahoma City. Aldrich, who spent the night before the event in Lawrence, said it's always nice for him to get back to the state he spent his college career in. "It's a lot of fun," Aldrich said. "Whether we're in Oklahoma City or whether we're in Lawrence, or here in Wichita, they have a great fan base not only for KU, but also for the Thunder.

Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Swallow field-rushing pride to support Hawks COMMENTARY As the scoreboard counted down its final seconds Saturday at Memorial Stadium, Jayhawk students eagerly celebrated the victory by rushing the field. It was an act that at times is controversial, but in this case, was completely justifiable. After last week, the Kansas football program was about as low as it gets. The team didn' t win a game since Oct. 10, 2009, over 11 months from their win Saturday against Georgia Tech. The week before, the Jayhawks were embarrassed against FCS, formerly referred to as Division 2, North Dakota State. Coach Turner Gill and his players had only one way to redeem themselves and that was to upset the ranked Yellow jackets No one gave them a chance after last weekend's less than poor performance, but they won and the fans stormed onto the field, screaming, waving their arms and jumping up and down. When that happens, it normally causes people to say, "Well we are Kansas. We are a proud program. We won the Orange Bowl in 2008 and there's no reason why we should have to be surprised when we beat someone." Now if we're talking about the basketball program, I would be saying that too. I would never condone students at a basketball game rushing the court. Kansas basketball is one of the best programs in the country and we should expect to beat everyone we play. This isn't basketball however; it is a football program that needs to feel the love from its fans. After the game, Gill spoke highly of the crowd. "We appreciate all of their support" BY MAX VOSBURGH mvosburgh@kansan.com twitter.com/MVsports Rushing the field seemed to be the perfect way for the fans to show that they still support a team that struggled to begin the season. SALVATORE that they gave us today during the game." Gill said. "It gave us energy. It's like I told the fans, we need all of them to come to our games and give us that energy like they did today" "That was sweet. That was awesome," quarterback Jordan Webb said. "After last week I didn't know how the fans would be going into today, but they really supported us" Another thing, no one climbed the goal posts. The students moved onto the field, cheered, took a few pictures and then left. If you're going to rush the field, that's the right way to do it Rushing the field after that game will be one of the best memories I have at this school. I had the opportunity to do something I never thought I'd ever be able to do. I was standing on the turf at Memorial Stadium. My memories are shared by those who also had the same opportunity. There's nothing wrong with letting a few college kids have fun after a big win like the one after Kansas beat Georgia Tech.

Matt Galloway Please recycle this newspaper Vick shouldn't be undervalued MORNING BREW Michael Vick deserves the chance to start. Yes, he was the financial backbone of, and willing participant in, the infamous Bad Newz. Kennels dog-fighting ring, but he has served his debt to society (just an hour away in Leavenworth) and is now financing the rehabilitation of many of the dogs rescued from his home in Surry County, Va. On Sunday I saw him take over for the injured Kevin Kolb against my beloved Packers. Immediately, I was worried. Vick's legs gave him a dimension previously unseen among the ranks of NFL quarterbacks. His play yesterday was reminiscent of the Vick who became an icon in Atlanta. When Kolb was under center the Eagles offense faltered, the players barely being able to move the ball. And when the pocket collapsed Kolb couldn't escape the pressure brought by the Packers. Kolb faltered, put up only 24 yards passing and was sacked twice. Vick also took a few sacks, but was able to escape even more and then scrambled down field dodging tackles on his way to leading everyone on the field with 103 rushing yards. Currently the Eagles want to use Kolb as the main play caller, and spell him for Vick when they want to change the pace up. I will do better. BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com This is a complete waste of Vick's talents. At the end of the fourth quarter the Packers' defense was visibly gassed from chasing Vick all over the field. And with Vick under center defenses have to dedicate defenders to try and keep Vick from running, which takes defenders away from covering explosive receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Vick reminded me of Willie Beamen, the explosive QB played by Jamie Foxx in Oliver Stone's 1999 film, "Any Given Sunday," especially in the scene in which Beamen tells a reporter how he is unstoppable when he gets his "invisible juices" flowing. Eagles coach Andy Reid, Vick's coach, is kidding himself if he believes that Kolb gives the Eagles a better chance to win. THE MORNING BREW If Vick gets another game or two under his belt we will see his "invisible juices" start to flow. And he will turn the Eagles into the team to beat in the NFC East. Or Reid can try and develop the young Kevin Kolb and prepare for the future. But even though Vick is 30, his football age is because he missed two years of the NFL while he was incarcerated. And last season a certain someone up in Minnesota proved that age might actually just be a number. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Michael Vick is a once-in-a-generation talent and it is time he is let out of the doghouse and back onto the football field.

Iowa State was forced to put it in the air in the second half in an attempt to make a game of it, but quarterback Austin Arnaud threw three the third quarter alone.

OPEN Nadal claims grand slam honor, defeats Djokovic MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEW YORK - Rafael Nadal won tennis' heavyweight title Monday night after a rugged exchange of heavy body blows with Novak Djokovic. In taking the 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 victory, Nadal, at 24, becomes only the seventh man in history to win all four grand slam tournaments — Australian, French, Wimbledon and U.S. — during his career. And he becomes the first leftfender to win the U.S. men's title since John McEnroe in 1984. Monday night's duel was delayed one day by rain, and interrupted for almost two hours again, offering physical respite to Djokovic after his draining five-set upset of Federer on Saturday night. Djokovic, the 23-year-old Serb who has existed just outside the Nadal-Federer power axis for several years, had the Open's dithering weather, which included an on-court temperature drop of almost 40 degrees during the Nadal's attempts to run Djokovic to the four corners of Arthur Ashe Stadium were typical for the patiently aggressive Spaniard, willing to play shot after shot after shot while looking for an offensive opening. But Djokovic was not exactly getting pushed around, matching Nadal's athletic court coverage with scrambling gets and showing off some dandy offensive strokes of his own. When Djokovic began to wobble a bit late in the second set, the rain delay allowed him to regroup and hang on to the set, which he had led 4-1 but had to rescue at 7-5. Nadal had 26 break-point opportunities in the match (compared with four for Djokovic), and though he converted only six, he slowly but steadily was wearing down Djokovic. Eventually gone was the spunk Djokovic showed in taking a quick 4-2, 40-15 lead in the second set, which he let slip to deuce after pulling Nadal far off the court with a searing cross-court backhand, then netting a volley that brought the crowd full force into the proceedings and tipped the scales back toward Nadal. tournament's two weeks and nasty winds, turn from burden to friend. Djokovic already had briefly lost the grip on his emotions in the first set when Nadal, in a long fifth game full of big punches by both men, took Djokovic to deuce four times and to break point a sixth time with a hustling retrieval of a Djokovic mis-hit. So much for Djokovic's record on hard court against Nadal — 7-3 entering the tournament, including victories over Nadal the previous three times — that offered him a bracing confidence. Though Djokovic lost to Federer the previous three years at the Open, twice in the semifinals after the 2007 final, Nadal never had been to the Open final. But the Spaniard's first trip to the final left him collapsed on the baseline in happiness when Djokovic slapped a forehand wide on match point. COLLEGE SPORTS President pays tribute to Texas Christian University riflery team MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE WASHINGTON - The five members of Texas Christian University's national championship rifle队 team were already beside themselves to be on the South Lawn of the White House Monday evening at a celebration of all NCAA sports champions when President Barack Obama gave them the first shout-out. "We've got the sharpshooters from the TCU rifle squad. Where are they?" Obama asked as the all-female team's members, standing near the camera risers, screamed. "I think that they may be able to give the Secret Service a run for their money." The TCU Horned Frogs team earned some extra attention since it's the first all-female national rifle championship winner in NCAA history - the sport can have all male, mixed gender and all female teams. "That was so awesome," said Sarah Scherer, 19, a sophomore from Fort Worth, Texas, "to be recognized by the president." Obama spoke briefly to the 650 student athletes from 32 schools, praising them for being students and athletes. "You didn't do it as professionals," he said. "You put in countless hours of practice for the love of the game and for the pride of your school." As the president worked the rope line, shaking hands and talking to many of the students, he reached the TCU team — athletes stood out in their black dresses and matching purple and black TCU cowboy boots. "He said, 'Check out the boots,' said Caitlin Morrissey, 19, of Topeka, Kan. TCU chancellor Victor Boschini, who also was at the event, said that the university had given the president his own pair of TCU boots, as well - all the championship teams brought that he, too, practiced shooting with a rifle. "He said he practiced with the Secret Service," said Riford, who graduated from TCU in May and now works in Fort Worth. ship teams brought some item of clothing with their logo which were collected at a security checkpoint. "It's a real once in a lifetime opportunity for all of us," Boschini said. "I showed him my ring," she said. "It's a great experience," said They spoke about Hawaii and Punahou High School. There was another surprise for the president - team member Simone Riford, 22, of Hawaii graduated from Obama's Honolulu high school - and was wearing her class ring to prove it. Obama told the TCU team "That was so awsome to be recognized by the president." SARAH SCHERER Rifle team member Scherer, who grew up in Boston.

Chiefs win first game of season against Chargers ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jamaal Charles' 56-yard touchdown run and Dexter McCluster's team-record 94-yard punt return gave Kansas City a two-touchdown lead and the Chiefs held San Diego on four downs inside the 6-yard line in the final minute for a 21-14 victory Monday night. Playing most of the game in a pounding rain, the Chiefs turned the night into the confidence-building coming-out party they had been hoping for since the schedule came out in April. By beating the four-time defending AFC West champions, they proclaimed an end to a three-year period that was one of the darkest in team history. Philip Rivers thoroughly outplayed Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel and drove the Chargers to a first-and-goal from the 4. But a pass was incomplete, Darren Sproles lost 2 yards and another pass sailed high. Then with 39 seconds left, Rivers missed again. The rain-soaked crowd, which hadn't seen the Chiefs win on Monday night in 10 years, erupted in cheers. 10 years earlier Rivers was 22 for 39 for 298 yards and two touchdowns, several times victimizing a young Chiefs secondary for long gains. Cassel, with a history of playing poorly against the Chargers, was 10 for 22 for 68 yards, including a 2-yard TD pass following a San Diego turnover. Rivers found Antonio Gates with a 3-yard TD pass on San Diego's second possession for the game's first score. But as lightning flashed overhead, the Chiefs struck quickly to make up for an otherwise impotent offense in Arrowhead Stadium's first Monday night game in six years. After Kansas City's first two possessions produced nothing, Charles, a 1,000-yard rusher who was beaten out in training camp by veteran Thomas Jones, broke through a hole and sped 56 yards with 37 seconds left in the first quarter to tie the game. Ryan Mathews, who is replacing perennial Pro Bowler LaDainiam Tomlinson in the Chargers' backfield, took a brutal hit by Derrick Johnson and lost the ball. Brandon Carr scooped it up and ran 16 yards to the San Diego 12 and Cassel made it 14-7 with a 2-yard TD pass to rookie tight end Tony Moeaki. McCluster, a scatback who was a training camp sensation with his quickness and flair, took a San Diego punt in heavy rain in the second quarter and cut left. He sailed almost untouched down the sideline and got the only block he needed from Andy Studebaker in a 94-yard return that put KC on top 21-7 late in the half. The return broke Dante Hall's team record by one yard. Jets lose season opener to Ravens after pregame hype NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Baltimore Ravens gave the New York Jets some hard knocks — real ones. The Jets intrigued audiences in the preseason with their no-holds-barred, behind-the-scenes TV show, but it was the Ravens who grabbed the spotlight Monday night, winning 10 to 9 over the Jets. They held New York to 176 yards, six first downs, allowed Mark Sanchez just 74 yards passing and kept Rex Ryan's crew out of the end zone. For those urging the Jets to put up or shut up, well, it was Baltimore that produced most of the highlights in a sloppy opener of New York's new home. The $1.6 billion New Meadowlands Stadium rocked with J-E-T-S chants, then the Ravens rocked Ryan's defense with enough big plays to silence the crowd of 78,127 — if not the talkative coach and his players. The beginning was fiery, as expected, with Ray Rice and Shaun Ellis woofing at each other before Billy Cundiff's 25-yard field goal in the third quarter provided the winning points, with Anquan Boldin, Baltimore's main offseason acquisition, gaining 65 yards on two passes against first-round draft pick Kyle Wilson. Boldin made the kind of impact the Ravens sought with seven receptions overall for 110 yards, at times toying with the jets' vaunted secondary. So did tight end Todd Heap, who caught six passes from a cool Joe Flacco for 72 yards. kickoff. But it turned into a sloppest, as many of the openers were this weekend, with the Jets looking particularly undisciplined by drawing 14 penalties for 125 yards. They also were 1 for 11 on third downs. New York's six first downs tied a franchise-low set in 1976. The beginning was fiery, as expected, with Ray Rice and Shaun Ellis woofing at each other before kickoff. But it turned into a sloppest, as many of the openers were this weekend, with the Jets looking the most undisciplined. New York's usually fierce defense sacked Flacco on Baltimore's first offensive play, forcing a fumble The beginning was fiery, as expected, with Ray Rice and Shaun Ellis woofing at each other before kickoff. recovered by Sione Pouha. The Ravens' equally intense D held firm, and Nick Folk kicked a 23-yard field goal. sive 11-play, 76-yard drive for a 7-6 halftime lead. Of course, it was aided by Jets mistakes, the worst of which were Braylon Edwards — a wide receiver, of all things — running into Cundiff on a field goal attempt, giving the Ravens a first down to prolong the possession, and rookie Kyle Wilson's pass interference on T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the end zone. Pouha grabbed another fumble later in the quarter, by Willis McGahee, and Flacco was picked off by Antonio Cromartie on a sideline pass at the New York 3. The cornerback, acquired in a trade with San Diego to further bolster a secondary that features All-Pro CB Darrelle Revis, got a terrific block from his partner on a 66-yard run back to the Baltimore 31. McGahee scored from the 1 with 6 seconds left, but New York wasn't done committing penalties. Two plays later, Shonn Greene lost the ball — he touched it only one more time the rest of the night and dropped a pass — and Baltimore embarked on an impress- The Jets were offside on the extra point and had 10 penalties for 100 yards in the opening half. They weren't any more efficient in the second half. But they did get Folk's. 48-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter to make it 10-9. Even then, however, they wasted a 22-yard punt return by Jim Leonhard to the Baltimore 35. Cromartie's debut as a Jet was spotty, at best. Like Wilson, he was beaten several times by Boldin as the Ravens usually avoided Revis, even though the Jets' star cornerback missed the entire preseason in a holdout. New York's LaDainian Tomlinson gained 62 yards rushing, carrying the load and looking good in spurts. New York lost defensive tackle Kris Jenkins to a first-quarter knee injury. MLB Yankees fall to Rays in bottom of 11th ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Reid Brignac homered on a full count pitch leading off the bottom of the 11th inning Monday night, sending the Tampa Bay Rays into first place in the AL East with a 1-0 victory over the New York Yankees. Brignac connected off Sergio Mitre (0-3), the fourth Yankees reliever that followed CC Sabathia, who pitched eight scoreless innings in pursuit of his major league-leading 20th win. Grant Balfour (2-1) pitched one inning to get the win for the Rays, who pulled ahead of the defending world champions for the division lead. Associated Press 1. Bring your talent 2.

The Wildcats will face the Cyclones Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., at 11 a.m. ASSOCIATED PRESS MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNF That's changing. College football teams traditionally use September nonconference games to establish their identities, work out kinks and set themselves up for the big games in October and November. Mid-September conference matchups like Texas-Texas Tech and Kansas State-Iowa State this weekend probably will be the norm once the Big 12 goes to a round-robin schedule next year. Each team will play nine conference games instead of eight after Nebraska leaves for the Big Ten and Colorado for the Pac-10. In the Southeastern Conference, where the first league games were played last week, television partners for years have slotted appealing conference matchups early in the season. The same thing already has happened in the Big 12. Texas and Texas Tech are playing the third week of September for the second year in a row, and the game will be on ABC. First-year Tech coach Tommy Tuberville, who became accustomed to early conference games when he was in the SEC at Auburn, said he had to be mindful of the Texas game as far back as spring practice. Decisions on personnel are accelerated because there is limited time to experiment, he said. "We made a lot of movement early in two-a-days and even late two-a-days trying to get people in the right position." Tuberville said, "just trying to make sure we play the best game we can this week, knowing we're starting conference." The Red Raiders (2-0), after wins against SMU and New Mexico, will get a chance to measure themselves against the sixth-ranked Longhorns. "When I was at Auburn, we most of the time played LSU around the third game, which was either a good start or a slow start depending on how you played the game," he said. "The first two games (this season) went fairly well for us but we didn't play up to our potential. Hopefully, this week we find out more about our team." The Longhorns prepped for the Red Raiders with wins over Rice and Wyoming. Texas coach Mack Brown said he senses the intensity picking up among his players. "We've played two teams that we feel are good teams, but we have a real serious contender this week. in in texas tech out there" brown said. "It means a lot to the conference." The Longhorns' last trip to Lubbock was memorable. Michael Crabtree's touchdown catch with 1 second left to beat undefeated Texas was the signature play of 2008. excitement for TV and for our fans being here. "For me, my first game in the Big 12, what a better way to start." "It was one of the best college football games I've seen in a long time, just for the excitement." "I watched that game myself," Tuberville said. "It was one of the best college football games I've seen in a long time, just for the excitement. Hopefully we can have the same type of game with the TOMMY TUBERVILLE Texas Tech coach Kansas State (2-0) and Iowa State (1-1) are playing at Aheadwheel Stadium, completing a deal to meet back-to-back years in Kansas City, Mo. The game originally was scheduled for Oct. 9 but was moved at Kansas State's request the Wildcats could play Nebraska on ESPN on Oct. Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads said he would like to play a neutral-site game every year once the Big 12 goes to a round-robin schedule that would give a team four home games and five road games every other year. "You would lose a home game, but you also would lose a road game, and that equals itself out," he said. Rhoads said it's exciting for his team to play in an NFL venue and that Cyclones fans enjoy the trip to Kansas City. K-State and Iowa State each get $1.8 million from the Kansas City Chiefs for playing the two games at Arrowhead. The Wildcats won 24-23 last year, blocking an extra point after Iowa State had scored with 32 seconds left. Snyder is lukewarm, if that, on playing at Arrowhead. Normally, this year's game would have been played in Manhattan, Kan. Snyder lamented the lost economic benefits of a home game. "Aside from that, I don't think there's any upside or downside in playing a game like this in Arrowhead Stadium," he said. "We certainly appreciate the Chiefs organization for promoting and C SPRINTING BIG 12 TEAMS ON TV THIS WEEK KANSAS STATE vs. IOWA STATE: 11 a.m., Sept. 18 on FSN T T TEXAS at TEXAS TECH: 7:00 p.m., Sept. 18 on ABC/ESPN2 -Big12Sports.com trying to put that together.

Haber criticized the recommendation by the childrens' representative, Lester Barclay, that Dwyane Wade be given sole custody, calling it "nonsensical" because it "ignores realities of Mr. Wade's unavailability." While Barclay backed sole custody for Dwyane Wade, he also Associated Press Former teacher makes pitching debut ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bobby Cramer, a former substitute teacher who started this season in the Mexican League, won his big league debut Monday by pitching the Oakland Athletics over the Kansas City Royals 3-1. Wade's lawyer, James Pritikin, accused the former wife of "bizarre" behavior and tampering with Wade's scheduled visitation time with the children. He said he expects that behavior to continue at the detriment of Wade's relationship with his sons. Cramer held the Royals to one run and four hits in 51-3 innings. He struck out four and walked one.

NBA player caught in custody battle This year, Cramer went 13-3 with a 2.95 ERA in 22 games with Quintana in Mexico. Cramer (1-0), a left-hander who turns 31 next month, started his pro career in 2003 in the Tampa Bay system. He was a high school math teacher and worked in pipeline maintenance while out of baseball in 2005-06, and played in an independent league in 2008. CHICAGO — NBA superstar Dwyane Wade should retain sole custody of his children, a court-appointed lawyer representing the Wades' two young children said as a custody trial started Andrew Bailey worked the ninth for his 24th save in 27 opportunities.

It was Cust's 11th home run this season. Mike Aviles homered in the fourth for the only run off Cramer. Aviles hit his first home run since May 9, a span of 316 at-bats, and finished with three of the Royals' seven hits. Kansas City has lost nine of 11. Luke Hochevar (5-5) lost in his first start since missing nearly three months with a sprained right elbow. He gave up two unearned run and two hits in five innings. He walked three and threw just 39 strikes in 78 pitches. The As took advantage of sloppy Royals fielding to take an early lead. In the first inning, Aviles and Hochevar made errors and rookie catcher Lucas May was charged with a passed ball. Aviles' wild throw from second base on what could have been a double-play grounder by Kurt Suzuki allowed Coco Crisp to score.

Tolefree had 11 kills and a 450 attack percentage in the game against Arkansas Little Rock Saturday. What's more, she led the team with 13 points. All this proves what Tolefree's teammates already know: They can rely on her when the games get hectic. Setter Nicole Tate, a junior from St. Louis, said, "Taylor is great. She is calm and confident and works hard and is always there when you need her" Tolefree said that on the sideline, she thinks about what she needs to do to make the team successful. Then, when she goes into the game, she said she's ready for action. Last Saturday, the Jayhawks were trailing 6-1 until TJelgle went in.

At size 22, there's a lot to stare at. The 14-year-old is already 7 feet tall and weighs 250 pounds. To say that he stands out from the other boys in this remote Punjab village, population 463, is like saying that Everest is a rather tall mountain. After its runaway success ... China, the NBA has turned its sights on India. But basketball is not terribly popular here; as one sportwriter says, "Genetically, were not inclined that way." But what if you could tind an Indian version of Yao Ming, the 7-foot-6-inch Houston Rocket center who jumpstarted the Chinese game? His signing led to lucrative broadcasting and sponsorship deals, skyrocketing apparel sales and millions more fans. "The Yao Ming factor is crucial," said Ayaz Memon, a sports journalist. www.CaliforniaWestern.edu What is a lawyer? A debater? A fighter? Or more than that? A creative problem solver. A principled advocate. A rigorous and versatile thinker. Explore the wide scope of the law in a school devoted to the big picture. CALIFORNIA WESTERN SCHOOL OF LAW | San Diego What law school ought to be. From Ballo Ke, local scouts dispatched Satnam to a regional basketball academy where, over the last four years, he worked to develop skills to match his height, leading some to call him India's best young player. This month, the young giant will head to the IMG Basketball Academy in Florida, which is sponsored by a U.S. talent agency. "If God keeps blessing us, one day he'll play on the Indian national team, even the basketball world cup," village elder Aatma Bhamara said, his unfamiliarity with the name "NBA" suggesting that the Americans have their work cut out for them. "He's putting our village on the map." NBA officials say Satnam may or may not be the one, but they're determined to build a sport that was introduced to the country by missionaries in 1903, and today is played, enthusiastically if not always well, by a few million Indians (in a country with 1.2 billion people, it remains a niche activity). "We see great opportunity in India," said Akash Jain, the league's director of international development for India. "Sometimes you find a diamond in the rough if you're lucky... But our focus is long term." They maintain that India,with its emerging middle class,rising disposable income and media-savvy youngsters,has the raw ingredients to take off as a basketball market. Perseverance and a healthy budget — the NBA won't disclose its spending — will be indispensable in a country known for bureaucracy, poor infrastructure and a weak sporting culture apart from the national obsession, cricket. India won a single gold medal in the 2008 Olympics, whereas China, another developing country with an enormous population, snagged 51. No one else in the village plays basketball, but the 7-footer hopes to change that. "If I really make it big one day, my dream is to come back and build the village a court," he said. "Then hopefully more people will start playing, like me." --- THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 VOLUME 123 ISSUE 20 WWW.KANSAN.COM INSECT | 6A Ancient lacewings able to go unseen LAUGH YOUR AZIZ OFF New fossils show that insects were able to hide themselves among plants.

DISABLED | 3A Howard Ting/KANSAN Inequality a norm for disabled employees Aziz Ansari uses a stool for r a prop at Tuesday night's comedy show. The Lied Center was sold out for Ansari's performance. University researchers find that potential employers discriminate against disabled applicants despite legislation. THE MOVIE CENTER Howard Ting/KANSAN Students await to be seated in the Lied Center for standup comedian Aziz Ansari on Sept. 14th. Ansari was the host for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, and appeared in several films including "Get Him to the Greek," I Love You, Man" and Observe and "Report." This is a tale of romance. A girl stands up in the sold-out Lied Center and has a flashlight pointed in her face so that Aziz Ansari can see it. He wants to learn the story of how she met her boyfriend. Ansari asks: "Who made the first move? Him or her?" He asks: "How did you meet your boyfriend?" She responds: "At work." Before she can answer, the only thing heard is the belly laugh of her boyfriend sitting conspicuously in the dark next to her. The house erupts in laughter And Ansari didn't even make the joke. Ansari performed at the Lied Center Tuesday night as part of his "Dangerously Delicious" comedy tour, courtesy of Student Union Activities. The sold out venue was full of fans waiting to hear a comedian they said they related to on a level unlike many other comedians. Ansari had a special on Comedy Central this last year called "Intimate Moments for a Sensual "He knows how to make his comedy personal," said Stephanie Maness while she waited outside of the Lied Center for the doors to open. "He talks about real life things I can picture." "I couldn't miss him," she said. "For somebody of his stature to come here is exciting," said William Bragaw, a freshman from Kansas City, Mo. Manes had seen Ansari on TV in shows such as "Human Giant" and "Parks and Recreation." Although she lives in Wichita and goes to Butler Community College, Maness drove to Lawrence to buy the tickets when they came out. Bragaw said he hopped on the opportunity to buy some of the first tickets. He wanted to get up front to see a comedian who he said really connected with a younger audience.

It may also reverse some damage already done by the disorder. Soon, some diabetic patients may have fewer things to worry about—such as nervegeneration and amputations — and more time to focus on checking their blood glucose levels. Rick Dobrowsky, a pharmacy and toxicology professor, has been on the research team since its earlier stages. He said it's possible for college students to develop symptoms of DPN if they were diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. The progression of the disorder is directly related to how well diabetics manage their blood glucose levels. Katie Coppaken, a senior from Overland Park has had diabetes since she was 2 years old. She said she checked her blood glucose "Having diabetes is a full-time job," Coppak said. "You don't get a winter break. Whatever activity I'm doing, I'm always thinking about how it's affecting my sugar levels." Brian Collins, a senior from Crystal Lake, Ill. who has diabetes, agreed that it's important for diabetics to avoid complications. level about 10 times a day to avoid developing any short- or long-term complications. Dobrowsky said DPN usually affected the long nerves that go through the legs and arms. This could lead to two different types of nerve dysfunction. "I take really good care of myself". Collins said. "I make it a priority to take care of my blood glucose levels". DPN can cause a painful, tingling sensation, specifically in the legs. Ben Pirotte/KANSAN "Iimagine hitting your funny bone and having that painful sensation constantly," Dobrowsky said.

Rod Blagojevich has asked a judge to nullify the lone conviction in his mostly deadlocked corruption trial, saying the jury's decision was underpinned by errors at trial and misconduct by prosecutors. Trial Judge James Zagel should override jurors verdict and acquit Blagojevich of lying to the FBI or set it aside and try him again on that charge, defense attorneys said in a motion filed at the U.S. District Court in Chicago. "The fact is that the government knew — and knows — that Blagojevich was not lying to the FBI," says the motion, filed late Monday. "The conviction in this case is not legally sound." If Zagel refuses to toss the conviction — which many legal observers say is likely — then the multiple arguments in the filing could lay the groundwork for any appeal to a higher court. At the end of a two-and-a-half month trial, jurors convicted the impeached governor on just one of 24 counts against him. Prosecutors told the judge they will try Blagojevich again on the deadlocked charges, a retrial that is expected to start in January. Among the charges jurors couldn't agree on was that the twice-elected governor attempted to sell or trade an appointment to the U.S. Senate seat President Barack Obama was vacating in exchange for a lucrative job or campaign donation. The charge of lying to the FBI was considered the least serious of them all, carrying a prison sentence or up to five years. Other charges, including racketeering, could result in a 20-year prison term. Blagojevich, 53, has denied any wrongdoing. and second when he insisted he did not "track" campaign contributions. "The conviction in this case is not legally sound." Jurors only agreed helied about not tracking donations. But the motion argues they should have been told they had to agree on both before they could convict on the single count of lying. It COURT MOTION Blagojevich's defense Also in the filing, Blagojevich's attorneys allude to his financial straits, saying a legal fund he drew on has run dry. One consequence, they claim, is that he can't even foot the bill to secure all official trial transcripts — rendering his lawyers' work more difficult. Prosecutors accused blagoviech of lying in a March 2005 FBI interview during his initial term as governor — first when he asserted he kept a "firewall" between political campaigns and government work; also says the meaning of 'track', in the context of the charge, was unclear. It also questions why prosecutors waited years to charge Blagojevich with lying, But the primary focus of the filing is the sole conviction. The filing also includes more sweeping accusations, including that the government pursued Blagojevich unfairly and "sought to fit any round peg into any square hole it could find." The motion claims more than 170 FBI agents fanned out when the then-governor was arrested on Dec. 9, 2008, knocking on doors and pressing witnesses for incriminating statements. saying they used the charge as a way to enter evidence that otherwise would have been disallowed. A new way to get delivery BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com The Campus Special's dollar bill coupon books have probably become familiar items for many on campus, but it has a new way to save students money. Now the company is offering an interactive website, called the Food Court, that allows KU students to order food and receive discounts from some of their favorite restaurants in Lawrence with the click of a mouse. Stephanie Scott, the online sales account executive for The Campus Special, said the coupon books were already a huge hit with the University community, so the Food Court was just the next step. "It was really about students having all of their ordering needs in one place," Scott said. The Campus Special's Food Court, which launched in early August, gives students up to three options when they place an order, depending on which restaurant they order from. They can pre-order the food so it will be ready for them when they arrive at the restaurant, they can order the food for takeout and enjoy it at home or they can have the food delivered to their doorstep.

She sits in a wheelchair, which means her potential employer may think she is incapable for the job. Investigations made by Jean Hall and Kathy Parker at the University revealed that various federal unemployment programs that were designed to help the unemployed find jobs, such as the Workforce Investment Act, do not equally cater to the needs of the disabled. The major factor that causes this problem is that employers dis criminate against people with disabilities. "Those systems are designed as a one-size fits all, regardless of what needs they bring to that system," Hall, associate research professor for the Division of Adult Studies at the Center for Research on Learning, said. "These are people who have learned skills to survive and thrive." Nary said. "So it seems that they would have something to offer in the work place." During the investigation the researchers used "mystery customers" to test various unemployment services. These mystery customers were people with varying conditions ranging from invisible ones like learning disabilities to those that are more apparent like cerebral palsy. The researchers then gauged the employer's ability to accommodate the disabled person. Hall 63 percent of disabled Americans are unemployed, according to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. "It's a vicious cycle. Employers need to use their common sense and treat people like people." Nary, a doctoral candidate from Lawrence, said one out of every five Americans is disabled. A disability can be any kind of physical emotional or mental limitation experienced by a person. About and Parker found that many employers need to learn to not discriminate so easily. KATHY PARKER researcher "With the economy the way it is, it makes it even harder for them because they are discriminated against in very subtle ways," Parker, a researcher who worked with Hall, said. "Employers look at a disabled person and think 'they can't do this job'" the disabled looking for jobs, Hall said. The system is well-prepared for the disabled and the disabled aren't prepared to tell the system what they need. Hall said the disabled believed they weren't getting the support they needed from the systems. Hall said employers weren't the only people who needed to change their attitudes about the disabled, and over the years American society had developed an idea that the disabled were unable to produce quality work. But the United States government changed its idea of the disabled when it passed the Disabilities Discrimination Act in 1990, which protects the disabled from discrimination in the workplace. "Our attitudes are lagging behind legislation." Hall said. "That needs to be changed." With this workplace discrimination comes low self-esteem among "It's a vicious cycle," Parker said. "Employers need to use their common sense and treat people like people." Nary said she thought the University should be a student's first look at employment equality to prevent future discrimination against the disabled. "As a community at KU we need to be sure that equal opportunity is extended to all," Nary said. "The workforce at KU needs to reflect to the student population." — Edited by Alex Tretbar TRIBUTE Dance teacher's life will be remembered at fundraiser BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com New York. Hamburg The University of Kansas' dance department will host a scholarship fundraiser dedicated to dance professor Janet Hamburg, who died Sept. 4 in The "Mad for Dance" event will take place on Sept. 23 at the Lawrence Arts Center. The evening will be a production of dance and musical performances, with live jazz, singing and piano featured. Proceeds will support scholarships for students in the dance department. Several KU faculty, students and alumni will be performing. The performers include Chuck Berg, professor of film PETER MELANCHIE "The planning of this fundraiser has been in the works since last semester. Janet Hamburg was an important part of its shaping," said Patrick Suzeau, dance professor and fundraiser performer. "After the news of her tragic death we decided to go forward with the event in her honor. Throughout the years, she worked with great tenacity in search of contributors to our scholarship funds." and media studies and jazz saxophonist; dance faculty Muriel Cohan, Heffner Hayes, Jerel Hilding (in a duet with pianist Hurst Coffman) and Patrick Suzeau; Deanna Doyle, Kansas City ballet dancer and KU alumna; Leslie Bennett, assistant professor of theatre and vocalist; and Jordan Wright and Matt Rodriguez, both seniors at KU. Hayley Mac, a rhythm tap dancer with a long list of professional stage credits, will also be a special guest. Leslie Bennett, a theatre professor who will sing a short medley of songs for the performance, thinks that the fundraiser is important in honoring Hamburg's legacy. "One of Janet's ongoing passions was raising money to assist talented dancers to pursue their training both at KU and beyond," Bennett said. "She was deeply cognizant of the numerous challenges facing all artists who need to devote as much time in each day as possible to perfecting their craft and that financial support was essential to that goal." Michelle Heffner Hayes, chair of the department of dance, said she remembered Hamburg as the first teacher who got her encouraged about the idea of making dance her career. "Janet was so supportive and passionate about the calling of dance, and she affected me with her enthusiasm," she said. "It became my life; it was something I realized that wasn't optional. She helped me know myself." As a professor, Hamburg spent 30 years nurturing and developing dance at the University, helping create the successful dance department within the School of the Arts. She was also internationally known for her groundbreaking work in Laban Movement Analysis and the treatment of Parkinson's disease, as she worked with athletes, with children and older adults in the area of motor development. She received the first Award for Creative Achievement in 2004 for her work from New York's Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies, of which she was also named a senior research associate. A cash bar and hors doeuvres will precede the fundraiser at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets are available for $20 at the Lawrence Arts Center, by phone at (785) 843-2787 or online at www.lawrenceartscenter.org. University dance faculty members are also planning a memorial celebration of Hamburg's life for later this semester. Memorial contributions may be made to the Janet Hamburg Dance Scholarship in care of KU Endowment.

Dobrowsky said something as minimal as pulling a bed sheet over a DPN patient would cause extreme pain. The other effect DPN can have on diabetics is the complete opposite. Individuals can lose all feeling in their extremities, such as their hands or feet. So, if they step on a hot sidewalk in the middle of July, they may not quickly tiptoe across it as a healthy person would. In time, these little issues could transform into serious infections. In worst case scenarios, this could lead to toe or even foot amputations. The mechanisms of how the drug helps alleviate the disease in diabetic mice are still being studied. More analysis is needed on KU-32 before the research team can start studying its effects on humans. Dobrowsky said that although the exact benefits the drug would offer is still unknown, any developments would be helpful.

"This is what makes Lawrence, Lawrence," Jessica Sheahon, coordinator of Jubilee Cafe and a junior from Salina, said. "We care about our community and volunteering is a way to give back." Parkinson also made permanent the Kansas Food Security Task, which began in 2006, to help with the hunger crisis. This task force will focus on developing ways to encourage healthy eating habits and raising awareness of the dangers of malnutrition. Carolyn Ward is internal coordinator of Just Food of the Eastern Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corporation, or Associated Press Edited by Dana Meredith ECKAN, which serves low-income Kansans. She said Just Food served as the food bank warehouse that stocked food pantries across Douglas County. Without emergency food assistance from this program and other programs across the county, Ward saud, people would not have access to nutritional food. "Families are just struggling to make ends meet," Ward said. "The relationships that you make, it's not just your on-campus bubble," Sheahon said. "You really get to know members of the community and get out of your comfort zone." ECKAN and Just Food help about 25 families a day, which can represent as many as 100 people. Depending on the family size, a family can bring home about 32 pounds of food and as much fresh produce as needed. Ward said that, unfortunately, the food only lasted a few days. Sheahan said the only way for Lawrence to end hunger was for citizens to take action by volunteering at the various food pantries and services in Lawrence. MOST CHOICES.

Just don't tell that to the man who created it. "To me it doesn't feel more ambitious than my previous movies," said director Darren Aronofsky with twinkling amusement. "I've been hearing that from a few people, and I guess it's flattering. I just don't know if I see it." There are many, however, who might. The dark psychological film from the American auteur ("The Wrestler", "Requiem for a Dream") stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a sheltered and repressed ballerina. An imperious dance director (Vincent Cassel) gives Nina the role of a lifetime — the lead part in a major New York City production of "Swan Lake." But Nina soon finds herself dogged by an upstart rival, Lily (Mila Kunis), who may be after Nina's job or, in mind-bending Aronofsky fashion, may simply be a figment of Nina's imagination. After a trailer that drummed up 1.3 million views on YouTube and well-received screenings at the Venice and Telluride Film Festivals, the film this week arrived at the preeminent North American showcase for fall movies, the Toronto International Film Festival, where it premiered to the public Monday night. The film's unusual genre combinations have given pause to some reviewers — but "Black Swan" is nevertheless turning into a cultural event, despite a release date 10 weeks away. Much of the curiosity stems from audiences eager to discover just what exactly the movie is about. It won't be black and white for them. There are mystical touches — Nina in fleeting moments appears to have feathery skin and an elongated neck, which suggest she is turning into a swan. Still, there are also more conventional plot elements, such as an overbearing mother (Barbara Hershey) and a perfectionist director (Cassel). Aronofsky's preoccupation with broken-down body parts are clearly evident in the film. So is a much-ballyhooed lesbian love scene, as well as the trappings of a haunted house horror picture. "It's a Polanski movie, and then it becomes a Dart Argento movie," Cassel said. "And maybe a little bit of David Cronenberg too." There are also unmistakable parallels between "Black Swan" and Aromofsky's previous "The Wrestler," particularly as it relates to the toll exacted by a life of performance. "Black Swan" screenwriter and Aromofsky producing partner Mark Heyman said the two were conceived as "companion pieces." 10 KU FOOTBALL WATCH PARTY WITH KU HOCKEY CLUB TEAM Date: September 17 Time: 6:30pm Location: 23rd Street Brewery Come catch the KU vs. Southern Mississippi football game with the KU Hockey Club team.Meet the players and learn more about the squad.

EDITORIAL BOARD Underground expansion a worthy project for Senate As anyone who's ever set foot in the Underground at noon can probably attest, A welcome step Last week, university officials gave tentative approval to an expansion of the Underground. The expansion would add 139 seats to the food court and cost approximately $500,000. cost $60,000 and will add more costs and an espresso bar. The Anschutz food service makeover is scheduled to be Although the project will not be considered for final approval by the Memorial Corporation Board until Dec. 4, the progress that has already been made on the expansion is a victory for students. The Underground is incredibly crowded at peak times and although this expansion may or may not provide everyone with a seat, it will help. The expansion is not without drawbacks, though. First, extra seats themselves are unlikely to actually cut down on long lines. What may cut down on congestion, however, is a planned makeover of food services in Anschutz Library. This project will michaelwadesmith@ gmail.com Room 410 Kansas Union (785) 864-3710 Share your thoughts with Student Body President Michael Wade Smith completed in January, which should allow officials to see if the makeover has any effect on Underground congestion long before any construction on the food court expansion begins. Second, according to Michael Wade Smith, student body president, the expansion will cost students $2 to $5 in fees. While that may not be a huge amount, in a down economy any amount of money ought to be scrutinized. Those issues aside, senators should be congratulated for pursuing quick action on this project, which benefits a large number of students. Expansion of the Underground was a major platform plank of KUnited during the spring election, and it's encouraging to see senators following through on a promise. EDITORIAL CARTOON THE Underground Would you guys like some more with that order? MARIAM SALPAN Jonathan Shorman for The Kansan Editorial Board MARIAM SAIFAN LETTER TO THE EDITOR This weekend's game reasserted my feelings that KU has some of the most disrespectful student football fans. I'm not talking about the chant at kickoffs. It's not even how we treat our own players; by the way, booing your own players is not acceptable. I grew up in Kansas City, so I'm used to fair weather fans. What I'm talking is something more basic: it's the behavior of students during the national anthem. KU fans disrespectful to anthem It's as if student have forgotten the proper behavior for the national anthem. It's pretty simple. If you have a hat on, take it off. You don't have to put your hand over your heart, but at least have the respect to stand still. Shut up. It's not that long of a song; your conversations can wait until the song is over. If you aren't in your seats at the start of the anthem, stay in the concourse; it's rude to walk into the game while the anthem is playing. From a Chiefs fan, keep the whole "home of the CHIEFS" at the Chiefs games. Honestly, it makes us look like a bunch of idiots when the crowd yells it at a Jayhawks game. People might think I'm being old-fashioned or just a stickler for tradition. It comes down to something much bigger then that, though. There are men and women who have died for our right to sing the national anthem. When we disrespect the song, we disrespect them. A few moments of respect is a small price compared to the one they paid. Aaron Harris is a senior from Kansas City, Kan., in journalism and history LETTER TO THE EDITOR Indifference on sugar irresponsible I am curious as to how Andrew Holtzen can be so complacent about the use of high fructose corn syrup. The process of making HFCS is extremely complicated involving genetic modification, using several isolated enzymes, liquid chromatography and backblending unseen in nature. HFCS has only been ingested for a single dash on the human timeline. To simply wave it off as safe without realizing that is irresponsible and reckless. Andrew then glances over the fact that there is more fructose in HFCS than in normal sugar, but that is major point. That five percent difference is novel to any food that we have eaten before, and a 2007 USDA study done by Dr. Meira Field found that male rats in a fructose group, as compared to a glucose group, did not reach adulthood and suffered from anemia, high cholesterol levels, heart hypertrophy, and delayed testicular development Dr. Chi-Tang Ho, professor at Rutgers University, discovered that HFCS has "astonishingly high" levels of reactive carbonyls. He reported his findings at the 234th meeting of the American Chemical Society on Aug. 23, 2007. These active carbonyls have been connected to increased oxidative stress and insulin resistance. fixed by simply substituting sugar, and that the health crisis in this country is a multi-layered problem that must be approached from many angles including exercise, education, access to health care, diet and many more. However, I will not condone Andrew lumping HFCS with sweeteners that mankind has interacted with for thousands of years. There is no scientific certainty that HFCS is as bad as it is portrayed, but keep in mind that there is also no scientific certainty that smoking will lead to lung cancer or falling from a 20-story building will kill you. I do agree with Andrew that obesity in this country cannot be "As far as bacteria and fungus are concerned, those grow best in a warm, moist environment, such as a sweaty foot within a shoe.

ACTIVISM Craigslist joins battle to fight against sex trafficking Simply put, the removal of the adult services "section" from Craigslist last week will be helpful in deterring sex trafficking. Granted, there are many moral deliberations surrounding the idea of such services available on a web site, and some could very well argue that such "business" between consenting adults should not be restricted on moral grounds. However, the real possibility of the enablement of sex trafficking, whether it be of minors or of enslaved adults, is reason enough to curtail the practice of online adult services. To some, sex trafficking is an atrocious but unfamiliar crime,c isolated in far-off countries such as Cambodia. Human Rights for All But, the recent indictment of five Missouri men for sexual abuse and trafficking charges serves as a reminder that, all too often, these horrific crimes are closer to home than we might think. According to news reports, one of the men allegedly controlled a mentally-disabled woman (beginning when the woman was 16 years old) and sexually tortured and abused her for seven years while the others participated in his trafficking conspiracy. The alleged perpetrator is accused of posting videos online of him torturing the woman. By selling ad space to users who posted sexual pictures and advertisements of prostitution and, in some cases, under aged girls, Craigslist was accused of YUAN LIANG BY KELLY COSBY kcorky@kansan.com profiting from illegal business and, possibly, sex trafficking. Although it is not clear if this is a permanent or temporary measure, it is evidence that American citizens can still instigate powerful change. And, more importantly, this censorship was voluntarily initiated by Craigslist in response to citizens directly; it was not a forced censorship enacted by the government in violation of any first amendment rights. tiny automated sex trafficking. It is promising that through grassroots campaigning, citizens were able to persuade Cralglist to make a commendable decision in shutting down the adult services area of the site. Of course, this only does a small part of the job. Sex trafficking is still a substantial problem with great urgency. At the same time, the availability of online ad space potentially facilitated sex trafficking Large scale campaigns, such as infrastructure reform and implementation of human trafficking reporting systems, are necessary actions to curb these barbaric practices. Cosby is a junior from Overland Park in political science and English GUEST COLUMN Tax cuts must be extended During this current economic downturn, in which the nation is one bad policy away from a deeper crisis, it is vital that the Bush Era tax cuts be extended. Politicians disagree over which income levels can afford to see their taxes go up. President Barack Obama wants to continue cuts for couples who earn less than $250,000 a year and for individuals who earn less than $200,000. Anyone with a higher income - the top 3 percent of the population - would get a tax hike. Republicans want tax cuts for everyone, regardless of income level. Unlike Democrats, they are more likely to believe in trickle-down economics, the theory that greater disposable income for the wealthiest will trickle-down to lower wage earners in the form of job opportunities and better pay. On Boehner's part, it shows a willingness to compromise and do what is right for the American people, even if it does not represent everything he wanted. Supporting the president's plan There is room for compromise. Just two days ago, House Republican leader John Boehner said he would support a bill that extends tax cuts to the middle class, even if tax cuts for the upper class are allowed to expire. This is the correct decision. also undermines Obama's attempts to depict Republicans as the "Party of No." Alongside this issue of tax cuts is spending. Boehner originally opposed the president's plan because he thought that simply cutting federal spending to 2008 levels - a 22 percent reduction - would fill the budget gap otherwise filled by taxes. President Franklin Roosevelt made a similar choice when he cut spending in the middle of the Great Depression. As a result, unemployment skyrocketed and stocks plummeted. The only way the government can balance its budget and prevent a worse recession is by cutting both spending and taxes. For this to happen, both Republicans and the Democratic president would have to make significant concessions. Obama must entertain the conservative principle of limited government and show more faith in the private sector. Republicans must work with a president whom they distrust and do not entirely respect. In doing so, both political parties must put down their electoral calculator and do what is best for the middle class. — From Uwire.

ALDI is an Equal Opportunity Employer. EVOLUTION Ancient insects were able to blend in, fossils show --- Contributed photo 10mm BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com Fossilized remains of lacewings, which died out in prehistoric times, were discovered in China. Contributed photo Just 165 million years ago, ferns would gently sway in the warm breeze. Ancient lacewings, a net-winged insect, would rest on the leaves — almost motionless — while insectivorous dinosaurs would stride by, not noticing their potential prey. "This discovery highlights that complex predator-avoidance mechanisms evolved early in insect evolution," Engel said in an e-mail while he was out of the country. A team of researchers, including Michael Engel, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, concluded these fossilized lacewings represent the earliest examples of mimicry by insects. that's because the wings of the insect acted almost like disguise, closely resembling the leaves where the lacewing perched. The fossilized lacewings were found in northeastern China, about 275 miles northeast of Beijing. Hinojosa, a graduate student in entomology from Mexico City. Insect mimicry, an evolutionary adaptation that allows insects to blend into their environments to evade predators, is common in the insect world. A variety of living insects, including butterflies, moths and praying mantises, use this tactic to avoid predators. "If you look like a plant and you live in the plant, it wouldn't be easy for the thing that wants to eat you to find you," said Ismael Engel said. Dan Bennett, a graduate student in entomology from George, Wash., said that this was somewhat surprising because insect mimicry is widespread today. However, examples of insect mimicry on the fossil record are rare. MICHAEL ENGEL professor of ecology "Nothing really existed for our understanding of the earliest phases in mimesis evolution." "Nothing really existed for our understanding of the earliest phases in mimesis evolution." The lace-wing mimicked gymnosperms — seed-bearing plants — such as ferns and conifers. When angiosperms, or flowering plants, gained dominance about 145.5 million years ago, the lacewings likely died out. Modern-day insects have not adapted to mimic these types of plants. The ancient insect's wings helped it blend into its environment. In botany, pinnate leaves have small leaflets on each side of a stem. The forewings of the lace-wings mimicked pinnate leaves. Research shows that the wings were mostly green with a clear netting in between. The wingspan of the insect was about four to five inches. The lacewings likely employed behavioral adaptation called "adaptive stillness." Engel said the insects would remain still or even attempt to gently sway mimicking the plant moving in the breeze. The lacewings would use their appearance and adaptation to dodge predators such as insectivorous dinosaurs, early birds mammals or spiders. —Edited By Emily McCoy STUDENT SENATE Student Senate leaders' actions impress former Envision foes Despite a sizeable defeat in last spring's Student Senate election, members of the minority coalition Envision have voiced early support for Student Body President Michael Wade Smith. KUnited's victory stands unprecedented in recent history. Smith and Vice President Megan Ritter won 66 percent of the votes, 35 percentage points more than the Envision candidates. Their coalition also won 50 of the 61 available senate seats, a two-thirds super majority. He made a lot of claims and I didn't know whether or not he would follow through on them," said Kellee Kirkpatrick, one of 11 Envision senators. "He's really shown to me that he has some legitimacy as a leader." BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com "It's a statement that if you don't do what you promised to do, you'll look very bad in the public light," Smith said. "It won't just damage you and your reputation as a leader, but it will damage your coalition that should have a brand of getting things done." in the three preceding elections, no coalition won more than 39 seats; no presidential and vice presidential team won more than 51 percent of the votes; and the margin of victory was less than 10 percentage points in the presidential and vice presidential race. A Senate with personal animosities and political infighting has transformed into what Smith said was a more cohesive, and potentially more effective, student government. Smith PRESIDENT Maria Ramirez Smith said he was both excited and cautious about KUnited's super majority, aware that it could potentially prevent active discussion. Ritter "One of my concerns was that we were not going to have a real year in student government," Smith said. "We were not going to have to fight for what's right. When you don't have the opportunity to have constructive conversations in Student Senate, your ideas don't get better." But if last But if last Wednesday's Senate meeting was any indication, coalition loyalty during campaign season did not translate into unequivocal support in Senate.

Members from both coalitions voiced support and opposition to the proposed Kirkpatrick said coalition loyalty isn't entirely abandoned on election day, however — it merely becomes less influential. After spending weeks together during campaign season, she said members of a coalition couldn't help but grow emotionally attached to For some elected students, coalitions matter little outside of campaign season. Once elected, senators do what's in the best interest of the students they represent without regard for their coalition ties, said Senator Jim Stoutenborough, a graduate student from Louisburg. "One of my concerns was that we were not going to have a real year in student government." "I think that says a lot for our coalition and the students who won," Smith said. "We still have a group of people who are willing to battle and stand up for what they think is right. What they thought was right wasn't necessarily what was coming through in a bill from the executive staff."

Firefighters were trying to gain ground on a wildfire in the northern Colorado foothills Tuesday ahead of strong winds expected to move in, potentially spreading the flames. The fire, which has destroyed two homes, was 20 percent contained. Terry Krasko, a spokesman for the team coordinating more than 400 firefighters, said the containment figure is expected to be higher by the end of the day. The fire, the second major blaze to break out on the Front Range in a week, has burned nearly 1,000 acres, or about $ \frac{1}{2} $ square miles, of tinder-dry grass and trees in steep terrain just west of Loveland. "The fire's looking very, very good," Drasko said. Earlier, incident team manager Jim Thomas said the next 36 hours are pivotal for crews to make headway because of the wind in the forecast. Thomas said the fire wasn't moving toward populated areas but gusts of up to 20 mph were possible Tuesday and winds of up to 28 mph were expected Wednesday. "We're going to go out and pound on it," said Thomas, who also led the fight against a wildfire near Boulder last week that destroyd at least 166 homes. The northern the residents to spend only about 30 minutes in their homes before they are escorted out again. Officials said earlier they expected some people would stay, even if the return was supposed to be temporary. It wasn't clear what deputies would do if anyone resisted leaving. Authorities don't know exactly how many homes and residents are in the evacuation area. The Red Cross said 76 evacuees have registered with the agency. Sheriff's investigators believe the fire was started Sunday by two people burning leaves and tree branches at a home. They plan to turn their findings over to prosecutors to determine whether criminal charges should be filed. Larimer County on Tuesday banned most outdoor fires, outdoor tobacco smoking and fireworks in unincorporated parts of the county. The ban runs through Nov.1. has been fully contained but firefighters were still working to put out hot spots within the perimeter Tuesday.

They say a fire started by a volunteer firefighter in a fire pit was likely reignited by strong winds Sept. 6, even though the firefighter doused it with water and stirred the ashes to put it out.

Dalton Gomez/KANSAN HEALTH CARE States sue Obama about health care ASSOCIATED PRESS The Obama administration had asked U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson to dismiss the entire lawsuit. The states and the administration disagree over whether people should be required to have health insurance, and whether states should pay additional Medicaid costs not covered by the federal government. PENSACOLA, Fla. — A federal judge said Tuesday he will likely dismiss only parts of a lawsuit by 20 states challenging the Obama administration's health care overhaul as unconstitutional, thokgh he didn't say what portions. The judge said he will issue a ruling by Oct. 14. The lawsuit is likely to wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court. "This court is free to disagree with Congress' policy judgments but it is not free to overturn 75 years of Constitutional law," he said. Administration attorneys also argued that the section requiring health insurance doesn't take effect until 2015 and it's up to an If Vinson upholds the states' challenge, he would overturn decades of law enforcing the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce, said Ian Heath Gershengorn, deputy assistant attorney general. individual taxpayer not the states to challenge the law then. But David Rivkin, an attorney representing the states, argued the law will destroy the state's Constitutional sovereignty by burdening them with uncontrolled Medicaid costs. The federal government is over reaching its taxing authority by penalizing people for not taking an action — not purchasing health insurance, he said. "By imposing a mandate on inactive individuals they are eviscerating state sovereignty," he said. The judge questioned whether the administration was correct in arguing that all Americans are active participants in the health care system regardless of whether they choose to have health insurance and are therefore subject to penalties under the government's authority to regulate commerce. Rivik likened the health care law to the subprime mortgages. "If this cost shifting is allowed then it would let the government demand that people buy a prescribed package of mortgages," he said. Florida's Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum filed the lawsuit just minutes after President Barack Obama signed the 10-year, $938 billion health care bill into law last March. 1.

Hester was appointed on the position on Tuesday after former athletics director Lew Penkins retired. Interim AD eager, but said is not interested in permanent position BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com There's one thing you notice about Sean Lester right away: He's not Lew Perkins. Perkins — the former Kansas athletics director whose name is rarely printed without the word embattled in front of it these days — had a larger-than-life presence to him both physically and in his actions. Lester — a Perkins disciple pegged to replace him in the interim while the University finds its next athletics director — doesn't command a room in the same way, but he seems to command the respect of the people that work under him. Lester, a Connecticut native who never lived outside the state until coming to Kansas in 2003, grew up around college sports. He was born and raised in Mansfield, Conn., and attended E.O. Smith High School, on the University of So he kept at it, working parttime through college at Eastern Connecticut State and as an intern under former Connecticut athletics director Todd Turner.

"They said yes, and I was with him for a long time." Twentyyears, to beexact. Lester rose quickly through the ranks at Connecticut, spending eight years as a senior administrator at the school. In a move that foreshadowed his integral role in the improvements of the baseball, football and basketball facilities at Kansas, Lester had a mai "What's not to be excited about, with wins and losses all the time?"

He came with Perkins to Kansas in 2003 as a senior associate athletics director and played an integral role in the improvements to facilities across campus. In that time, Lester said one lesson has stuck with him more than the rest. "It's all about the student- athletes," he said. "We impact lives. We impact kids, we impact 18-year-old to 21-year-old kids. How to make their lives better and prepare them for life I think is the biggest thing that I've learned — probably that we've all learned who've had the ability to work with Lew." Lester makes no secret of the fact that his goal is to someday be an athletics director, so it struck people as odd when he pulled his name from the running for the long-term position.

One week after the sophomore was benched in favor of freshman Jordan Webb, Pick took the field in a variety of wildcat formations during Saturday's victory against Georgia Tech. Pick rushed three times for 12 yards and threw one incomplete pass. The wildcat is usually used to get the ball in the hands of a runner who also has the ability to pass. Sophomore quarterback Kick Pick allows a sack from linebacker Steven Sylvester during Saturday's game against Georgia Tech. Despite starting the season opener against North Dakota State, Pick was benched in favor of freshman Jordan Webb and now has a limited role as a running quarterback. Dalton Gomez/KANSAN ; Pick's future usage will be determined on a game-by-game basis, coach Turner Gill said. ; "We still believe that Kale Pick is a good football player." Gill said. "He is still going to be instrumental to our football team and we'll BULL MARK J. MILLER Pick see how that works from here." With his performance Saturday, We b b solidified his hold on the starting job from Pick and earned himself a longer leash from the coaching staff. However, Webb's lack of mobility be a concern as he was sacked four times by the Yellow Jacket defense. Keeping Pick in game shape is important for a coaching staff that on its heels with every shot Webb takes in the backfield. - "Obviously you don't want to be averaging three or four sacks" PAGE 1B a game," Gill said. "But some of that will be receivers, some will be the quarterbacks and some will be backs or protections." "Kale Pick had deserved it he earned it through the practices and the scrimmages," Gill said. "It's unfortunate that he wasn't the same guy as we saw in practices and scrimmages as he was in the game, for whatever reason. But again, he wasn't the only guy who Gill said that, while Webb is the unquestioned starter, Pick deserves a role in the offense after dropping the ball in the season opener. Pick played the first snap of the possession following Webb's first touchdown pass that evened the score 7-7 in the first quarter. Webb is not concerned that his momentum will be affected with the Pick-specific packages. didn't play very well in that football game." "I'm very comfortable with it," Webb said. "We're going to do whatever it takes to win and I think the change of pace can be a great thing for our offense and its just going to help us be more potent on offense." Junior tight end Tim Biere also struggled in the loss to North Dakota State, and he's excited to see Pick get another opportunity, if only for a few snaps a game. Webb came into the season opener with everything to gain and nothing to lose, Gill said. Now in a similar position, Pick should thrive in the unique formation aimed at utilizing his best skill: his speed and elusiveness. The wildcat formation has seen a resurgence of sorts in recent years thanks in part to the usage of Miami Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown, but using a backup quarterback to run the scheme is not unheard of. In 2006, former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow rushed for 469 yards and eight "It's kind of like the Wildcat offense, but with Kale back there, he's just kind of another explosive player to get on the field." Biere said. "He can do some good things out of it." touchdowns as a backup to senior quarterback Chris Leak during his freshman campaign. Edited By Joel Petterson COMMENTARY Three new 'Heisman Hawks' step up Saturday BY NICOLAS ROESLER proecler@kanran.com Before the season started, I picked three Kansas football players who had the best chance of winning the Heisman trophy: Kale Pick, Angus Quigley and Chris Harris. Things aren't looking so good for my "Heisman Hawks" anymore, however. Pick has been benched. Quigley has been outshone by a freshman. Harris still has a shot but other members of the defense also looked good Saturday. Just like Reggie Bush, these players have lost their right to a trophy reserved only for the best. So I've come up with a new list. These contenders for the Heisman Hawk are the reason why Kansas defeated Georgia Tech on Saturday. And if they play consistently for the rest of the year, these three players will remain at the top of the list. JAMES SIMS, FRESHMAN RUNNING BACK Sims' potential is as high as the hair on his retro fade. He exploded onto the scene Saturday with 17 carries for 101 yards. Watching Sims run was the glimpse of hope all Kansas fans needed. He had the power of Angus Quigley and the speed of Deshaun Sands — the two backs who out-ranked Sims on the depth chart. Why split carries between those two backs when Sims can run all day long? Slightly taller than LaDainian Tomlinson, the New York Jets running back, Sims has break-out potential. If you watch video clips of Tomlinson in his college days at Texas Christian University, there are striking similarities between his running style and Sims'. Both run deceivingly upright and can break arm tackles apart like silly string. Webb threw for 179 yards, three touchdowns and one interception on Saturday. Those are some good marks for a freshman quarterback. But the most impressive thing about his game was his confidence and leadership, even when he made a mistake. I watched one of his throws land two yards shy of a receiver's feet. Webb recognized his fault, hit his chest a couple of times, then rallied his teammates into the huddle, seeming to boost them up after his own mistake. That leadership makes a winning quarterback and that positive drive and competitiveness could lead to him winning the Heisman H.awk. JORDAN WEBB, FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK Sims will win the award if he gets enough carries. JUSTIN SPRINGER, SENIOR LINEBACKER Who saw this coming? Kale Pick was originally my number one Heisman Hawk to watch. Boy, was I caught in a web of confusion. Springer — named defensive player of the week by the Big 12 — made 15 tackles on Saturday, three for a loss. Because Springer is a senior, the Kansas defense needs him to perform like this every week to inspire the kind of performance fans saw against Georgia Tech. Already averaging 11 tackles a game, Springer has a chance to claim the Heisman Hawk from fellow senior defender Chris Harris.

Who were they? A: Darrell Stuckey and James Holt. KU Athletics Kids should have fun in sports MORNING BREW When I was 5 years old I slept with a blue bear, Buzz Lightyear was real, Play-Doh offered endless hours of fun, and finger paintings were art worthy of hanging on the refrigerator. I also grew up playing baseball, so around the age of five I was playing tee ball while being "coached" by my dad. Of course, coaching tee ball is like running a day care. For most 5-year-olds it is a major feat to stand on the field in one spot without crying, making smiley faces or waving to Grandma four times. P BY JACKSON DELAY delay@kansan.com Ariel Antigua isn't like most 5-year-olds. This kid was featured in Sports Illustrated for repeatedly making contact with an 85-mph fastball in a batting cage. Later in the story Sports Illustrated finds out that they had miscalculated the speed because the plate was not the right distance away, so he was hitting pitches with the reaction time equivalent of a 119-mph fastball. Just YouTube "The Little Baseball Star" to see for yourself. But even if Antigua is some sort of freak of nature, why was he even trying that? Five-year-old kids don't up to their parents one day and say, "Hey Mom and Dad, I was watching Stephen Strasburg and he has good stuff, but I think I can hit him. Let's go try." It had to be his parents' decision. As I look at youth sports today, I get more and more discouraged at the atmosphere being created. I believe that a sport is always just a game at its foundation. My baseball coach used to remind me that the umpire says, "Play Ball!" to start the game. I understand that as the years go on it gets more competitive and sometimes that idea is lost, but at least as a child, sports should be fun. THE MORNING BREW When I think of sports in their purest form, I picture a kid swinging a bat five times, only to tap the ball off the tee and sprint to first base, waving at his mom when he gets there. Achieving recognition from major sports media companies - such as Sports Illustrated - as a child is wonderful, but I think childhood is an important thing to have. The day that kids begin training at 5-years old and tee ball becomes competitive is the day that sports change for the worse. Edited by Sean Tokarz STATE Poaching investigation targets Wichita camp ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA — The Justice Department is targeting more than 60 hunters across the nation for allegedly poaching deer during guided hunts at Camp Lone Star in Kansas, a court document shows. The scope of the grand jury investigation, believed to be one of the largest criminal prosecutions involving the illegal taking of deer, was made public in a court filing Monday in the federal government's case against the camps owner and his brother, both of Martinsville, Texas. James Bobby Butler Jr., 41, the owner and operator of the hunting club in Coldwater, and his brother Marlin Jackson Butler, 36, who worked as a guide, are charged with conspiracy and the unlawful sale and transport of wildlife. James Butler is also charged with obstruction of justice in the 23-count indictment filed May 25 in U.S. District Court in Wichita. If convicted and given maximum sentences, they could face lengthy prison terms. Jim Cross, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Kansas, said in an e-mail that it was the biggest case of its kind prosecuted in the state. However, James Butler's attorney Kurt Kerns calls the legal action "ridiculous." "The state of Kansas has paid out over $100,000 to independent contractors to thin the Kansas deer herd for management purposes." Kerns said in an e-mail. "And now our tax money is being spent making federal cases out of alleged rednecks who supposedly harvest an extra deer." AIR GUARD Money for college.

PART-TIME BLUE. FULL-TIME YOU. GoANG.com►1-800-TO-GO-ANG Statistics compiled by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service show the nation has 10.3 million big game hunters. About 12 percent, or 1.3 million people, hunt outside of their state of residence. Kansas is a popular destination, drawing an estimated 88,000 out-of-state hunters each year. Defense attorneys learned during while examining the prosecution evidence in the Butler case that the government recently mailed so-called target letters to many of the out-of-state hunters who came to Camp Lone Star, Kerns said. Roger Falk, the attorney representing Marlin Butler, said his client has pleaded not guilty but otherwise declined to discuss the allegations made by the government. Their court filing noted the government alleges more than 60 hunters illegally killed more than 119 deer between the 2005-2008 hunting season, including the taking of 70 trophy white-tail bucks. Defense attorneys cited the broader grand jury probe in a motion seeking to designate the case as complex, a ruling that would give them more time to prepare their defense without running afoul of speedy trial restrictions. Prosecutors are not opposing that designation, but a hearing on it was set for Friday before U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown. Based on the recent target letters sent to individuals identified as subjects of the investigation, the defense motion said it expects those hunters may be testifying soon in front of a The defense filing nonetheless provided a rare public glimpse at the grand jury investigation. federal grand jury and that other indictments would likely follow. The Butlers are charged with conspiring to violate the Lacey Act, a federal law that prohibits the interstate transport of any wildlife taken in violation of state regulations. The indictment alleges they violated the act by purchasing and selling white-tailed deer and mule deer. The government alleges the brotherscharged out-of-state hunters $3,500 per hunt with archery equipment and $5,000 per hunt with a firearm for guided hunts at Camp Lone Star and some 50,000 nearby acres leased for hunting activities. Prosecutors allege that during the guided hunts the Butlers and others encouraged hunters to take deer illegally by hunting without a valid license. They're also accused of letting hunters illegally spotlight deer during night hunts and use illegal equipment, such as firearms during archery season. The illegal hunting practices allowed the guided hunters to kill more deer than they could have killed lawfully, the lawsuit charges, allowing the Butler brothers to collect more guiding fees and tips. The obstruction of justice counts involve allegations that James Butler lied to a fish and wildlife agent, told an employee to remove and destroy deer head mounts so they could not used as evidence, and instructed an employee to lie to investigators. The obstruction of justice charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, while the other felony charges carry a maximum five-year prison term and $250,000 fine. The government is also seeking a $148,250 forfeiture against both men.

"I always go in with the saying, my job is to give the team the best opportunity to win," Liebetrau said. "I go into each game knowing my team is there. I got their back, they have my back, going in for a win." The shutout against Oregon was Liebetrau's fifth career shutout. She said she was proud of the defense and that organization was key in keeping Oregon from putting one in the net. She also said that being aggressive and controlling the box was important in keeping Oregon scoreless. Being aggressive is something that Liebetrau is convinced she has improved on. "Last year I think I was a little skittish on when to come out of the box and when to stay back. I think this year I am doing a pretty good job controlling the whole box," she said.

He also had a run-scoring single off left-hander Travis Wood (5-3), who continued his fade. Wood lasted only five innings, giving up nine hits — eight of them singles. A night after they drew a season-low 12,061 fans, the Reds sold 16,973 tickets for one of their pet promotion games — fans were allowed to bring dogs. The Reds took control of the NL Central by putting up the best record in the majors during August, going 19-8 while pulling away from St. Louis. They're 5-8 in September but have maintained their lead — seven games coming in — while the Cardinals crumbed. Arizona has struggled against the Reds, dropping 13 of their last 16 games. This time, their rookie starter got the better of Cincinnati's rookie starter. The Reds got only two runners as far as second base against Hudson, who retired 14 of the last 15 he faced. Juan Gutierrez started the ninth and let Cincinnati load the bases on a pair of hits and lay Bruce's walk with two outs. Gutierrez hit Drew Stubbs on a 1-1 pitch, forcing in a run. Right fielder Justin Upton ran down Ramon Martinez's liner toward the gap,securing Gutierrez's ninth save in 11 chances. Arizona got the 23-year-old Hudson from the White Sox in the trade for right-hander Edwin Jackson on July 30. Hudson was the NL's rookie of the month in August, going 4-1 with a 1.85 ERA. The only loss came against Cincinnati on Aug. 17 at Coors Field, where he struck out eight in the first three innings but dropped the game 6-2. The 23-year-old Wood has a 4.73 ERA in his last six starts. He gave up three runs in five innings — the fourth time in his last five starts that he's failed to go more than five innings. He was helped by the Diamondbacks' tendency to strike out. Arizona fanned 12 times, the seventh time in the last eight games that it's had at least 12 strikeouts in a game.

ERNST&YOUNG Quality In Everything We Do 6B SPORTS / WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM COLLEGE FOOTBALL Boise State loses ground to Buckeyes and 'Bama in poll ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The combination of impressive victories by Alabama and Ohio State and a stunning loss by Virginia Tech led to Boise State losing all but one of its first-place votes in the AP Top 25. The Broncos were still No. 3, behind the top-ranked Tide and No. 2 Buckeyes in the poll released Sunday, but the gap has widened. Alabama received 52 first-place votes and 1,466 points. Ohio State had five first-place votes and 1,410 points and Boise State received one and 1,306. TCU remained fourth and Oregon jumped two spots to No. 5 after winning 48-13 at Tennessee. Michigan moved into the rankings for the first time this season at No. 20 after its dramatic 28-24 victory at Notre Dame. After Boise State beat Virginia Tech last Monday night in Landover, Md., the Broncos received eight first-place votes from the media panel and were only 13 points behind No. 2 Ohio State. Some of the luster came off the Broncos' big nonconference victory when Virginia Tech was upset Saturday by James Madison, which plays in Division 1S second tier. Add to that the Buckeyes' 36-24 victory against Miami in Columbus, Ohio, and the Crimson Tide's 24-3 win against Penn State in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and the top of the poll looks more like it did at the start of the season. Pete DiPrimio of The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel in Indiana was the lone voter to keep Boise State No.1 this week. "I still think Virginia Tech is a good team and will make a bowl," DiPrimio said in an e-mail Sunday. "Alabama and Ohio State haven't been tested on the road like that." In the USA Today coaches' poll, the top five was Alabama, Ohio State, Boise State, Texas and TCU. Texas dropped a spot to No. 6 in The Associated Press poll and received one first-place vote. Oklahoma moved up three spots to No. 7 after beating Florida State, 47-17. AP TOP 25 Nebraska, Iowa and Florida rounded out the first 10. No. 11 Wisconsin was followed by Arkansas, South Carolina, Utah and LSU. Another Southeastern Conference team, Auburn, was No. 16, giving the SEC six ranked teams, more than any other league. 1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Boise State No. 17 Miami slipped five spots and No. 18 Southern California dropped two after beating Virginia 17-14. Stanford moved up six spots to No. 19 after shutting out UCLA 35-0 on the Rose Bowl. 4. TCU 5. Oregon 6. Texas 7. Oklahoma 8. Nebraska Michigan was followed by West Virginia, Penn State, which slipped four spots, and three teams that were unranked last week — No. 23 Houston, No. 24 Arizona and No. 25 Oregon State. 9. iowa 10.

Miami (FI) The first was Michigan, which was No. 5 when it lost to Appalachian State to start the 2007 season. The victory caused The Associated Press to change its policy and allow voters to vote for teams in what used to be called I-AA. 18.

Golf team finishes sixth MEN'S GOLF Team rallies on second day after rain-shortened first BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Inclement weather ended play earlier than expected for the men's golf team at the Fairway Club Invitational in Nebraska City, Neb. on Monday. The event was cut down from three rounds to two, with the second round played on Tuesday. It seemed that a new day gave the Jayhawks a new start when they improved their team score by five strokes from the first round to the second for a sixth-place finish. "I really thought we had a chance to compete and (on Monday) we came out flat and it seemed like everyone put up a big number on a hole," said Coach Kit Grove. "We are just putting up too many big numbers right now." Junior Doug Quinones shot even par to open up the tournament, then followed it up by shooting two under in his second round to finish in a two-way tie for second place. "Doug (Quinones) showed a heck of a lot of heart," said Coach Grove. "He shot seven birdies the first round and six the second. He almost had a chance to win his second D-1 event, you can't ask for much more than that." Sophomore Chris Gilbert and Senior Nate Barbee both turned in five over par results to tie them at 22nd place on the leader board. " C h r i s (G il b e r t) played solid. He is defi- nitely making some progr ress. Whatever the leak is that is causing his high round we have to plug it "It would not surprise me if the lineup changes by next Monday." and get that high round a little lower," said Coach Grove. put him in a tie for thirteenth place. Senior Jeff Bell placed 45th also competing as an individual. Freshman David Catt finished at ten over par for the tournament after posting 77 in consecutive rounds. He ended up in a tie for 49th place. Sophomore Dan Waite finished one stroke behind Catt to put him in a tie for 54th place. UMKC won the event shooting 576. Missouri State came in second three strokes behind, and Nebraska came in third at six strokes back. Mike Coatman of freshman Bryce Brown, competing individually, finished at two over for the tournament to KIT GROVE Assistant coach Nebraska shot a four under 68 in the second round to place first at three under for the tournament. Next week the layhawks will compete at home in the Kansas Invitational on September 20th and 21st. "Assistant Coach John Handrigan and I will put our heads together but it would not surprise me if the lineup changes by next Monday," said Coach Grove. "We are getting production from our top guys but we just need a little more help from the four and five spots." Edited by Kelsey Nill MLB Nationals beat Braves in Atlanta batter. Only one runner reached second. ATLANTA — Livan Hernandez homered and limited Atlanta to five hits in eight innings Tuesday night to help the Washington Nationals to a 6-0 win over the Braves, ending a six-game losing streak. The Braves were one game behind first-place Philadelphia in the NL East entering the game and 11-2 games ahead of San Francisco in the wild card race. Hernandez (10-11) walked two, struck out six and hit a The 35-year-old right-hander varied his pitches from a 61 mph curve in the second inning to Derrek Lee to nothing faster than an 85 mph fastball. He threw 118 pitches, 75 for strikes. Sean Burnett pitched a hitless ninth for the Nationals. Adam Dunn hit his 35th home run, a mammoth 455-foot shot over the center field fence after Ryan Zimmerman singled in the second and Hernandez added a run-scoring double in the inning off Jair Jurrens (7-6). Hernandez, hitting .115 entering the game, hit his solo home run in the fourth off Jurrjens. It was the 10th homer of his career. Jurgens allowed nine hits, four runs, walked one and struck out three in five innings. The Nationals added a run in the seventh when right fielder Jason Heyward dropped a fly by Dunn for a two-base error. Roger Bernadina drove in the run with a sacrifice fly. Washington got its final run on a solo home run by lan Desmond, his 10th, in the ninth off Scott Proctor. Associated Press V You can call us selective, particular and picky.

Shake your dad's hand, too." Poised to receive one of just eight Legion of Valor Bronze Cross of Achievement awards to be had, the midshipman had one more command to fulfill. With a smile, Christian Jensen, a senior from Paola, obliged. The order came from retired Army Col. Roger Donlon at a ceremony Wednesday. With his Congressional Medal of Honor from service in Vietnam draped around his neck, Donlon fastened the medal to Christian's left breast pocket and promised that further distinctions awaited. The Bronze Cross is awarded annually to eight Navy ROTC midshipmen, eight Army ROTC cadets and four Air Force ROTC cadets. To be eligible, a midshipman must be in the top 25 percent of his or her class in aptitude and academic standing. Before learning of his achievement, Christian said he had no idea he was up for the award. Navy ROTC midshipman Christian Jensen is presented the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross of Achievement by retired Army Colonel Roger Donlon. Jensen was one of eight midshipmen to win the award. Chris Neal/KANSAS "It came out of the blue" he said. A latex out of the office, he said Christian, a political science major, plans to attend law school. He is commanding officer for a battalion of about 80 midshipmen and is a squad leader in the Semper Fi Society on campus. His father, Steve Jensen, said Christian's long list of responsibilities is nothing new. "I've tried to get him to lay off a little bit and relax and enjoy college," Steve said. "If he's not taking 18 to 21 hours a semester, he's not happy."

The American Institute of Economic Research ranked Lawrence ninth on the list of the 75 best college towns in its annual College Destinations Index. Columbia was ranked 13th and Manhattan didn't make the top 20. The index looked at 12 different criteria to choose the top 75 best college towns. The research looked not at the university, but the town itself. The list did not look at universities, but instead analyzed 222 metropolitan areas with student populations of 15,000 or more. Adam Buhler/KANSAN FILE PHOTO "Deciding what school to attend should involve more than what the school itself has to offer." Keming Liang, AIER's lead researcher on the project, said in a press release. "Where to attend college is just as important, because like the colleges themselves, the towns and cities in which they are located vary widely in the opportunities they offer students and recent graduates." The ranking was based on 12 criteria in three categories: academic environment, quality of life and professional opportunity. The criteria include: 1. Number of college students per 1,000 residents 2. Percentage of students holding foreign passports 4. Percent of the 25-34 year old population with college degrees 3. Academic research expenditures per capita 7. Percentage of residents working in the arts, education, knowledge industries, science and engineering, management and other 6. Percentage of workers over age 16 who commute on foot, by public transportation or bicycle fields 5. Number of cultural and entertainment venues per 100,000 residents 9. Income per capita 8. Cost of living, based upon average rent for a 2-bedroom apartment 10. Net annual increase in total number of business establishments per 100,000 residents 11. Unemployment rate 12. Brain Gain/Drain; year-over-year ratio of college-educated population living in the area Jill Jess, spokeswoman for University Relations, said it's no surprise that Lawrence ranked so high even based on things that can't be measured.

LOCAL City approves snack cart ashaw@kansan.com BY ALLYSON SHAW On Tuesday night the Lawrence City Commission unanimously approved the request of two University students, allowing them to run a late-night food cart called the Last Stop Snack Shop. The cart will sit on the southwest corner of 10th and Massachusetts streets, in front of the vacant Masonic Temple building. The decision has been a long time in the making. "This has gone on long enough." Mayor Mike Amyx said. "We need to get you guys in the hot dog business." The decision came despite some resistance from a few business owners. The landlord for the temple building and three other restaurants in the block had sent a letter objecting to the cart. They were concerned with vandalism and traffic congestion from people congregating on the sidewalk. Still, Justin Sharkan, co-owner of Last Stop Snack Shop, said although they didn't know what to expect on Tuesday night, they were sure their request would eventually be approved. "We've already dealt with these concerns when we were getting the permit to stay open until 2:30 a.m." Sharkan said at the meeting. "We've done everything you've asked us to do." Sharkan said that everything is ready to go and they expect to be open sometime this week. Edited by Leslie Kinsman the cart will serve hotdogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, walking tacos and grilled cheese sandwiches. The stand will operate Wednesday through Saturday until 2:30 a.m. ASSOCIATED PRESS Troops home, combat still present With a persistent insurgency, ongoing sectarian tensions and no agreement on a new government after six months of wrangling, stabilizing Iraq before all American forces leave still seems a distant dream. BAGHDAD (AP) — For the second time in less than a week, U.S. forces were drawn into deadly fighting against insurgents — a reminder of the ongoing dangers American forces face well after President Barack Obama declared a formal end to combat. Wednesday's raid, in which at least six people were killed, was in the former insurgent stronghold of Fallujah — highlighting the persistent danger that al-Qaida-linked militants still pose despite years of efforts by both Iraqi and U.S. forces to root them out. Insurgents seem to have redoubled their efforts this summer to target Iraqi security forces taking over from the departing Americans — nine Iraqi soldiers died Wednesday in a roadside bombing while two police officers in Baghdad were shot and killed. The militants are trying to undermine the so-called "Sons of Iraq" — the anti-al-Qaida militia that was instrumental in reducing violence. The anger with which Fallujah officials reacted to the raid — conducted by Iraqi troops from Baghdad instead of local forces — spotlights another persistent threat to Iraq's security: deep divisions between the minority Sunnis in places like Fallujah and the Shiite majority that rules the country. Details of the raid were murky. U.S. officials described it as an Iraq-led mission targeting militants with Americans in an advisory capacity. t t f f ET CETERA MEDIA PARTNERS STAYING CONNECTED WITH THE KANSAN Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan.

She said the task force would solicit input from the community before making any decisions. Alyssa Urso, a senior from Overland Park, said she felt conflicted about the issue. "I want to see less trash go to the landfill." Urso said. "I know a lot of the stuff I throw away is probably recyclable. But I'm on a tight budget so it matters how much this would cost." Laura Vinci, a senior from Omaha, Neb., said she and the three girls she shares her house with already recycle. They have three bins in their kitchen to sort their trash. "The cost of living in Lawrence is high in general so anything extra would seriously add up," Vinci said. Cromwell said the Lawrence community was pretty good about recycling now, even with limited options. According to the most recent data from Lawencerecycles.org, Lawrence recycles 35 percent of its trash. He said Lawrence has the opportunity to double or triple the amount of recycling it does in the next few years. Charlie Sedlock, waste services manager at Hamm, said the city produced about 65,000 tons of trash per year. He said Hamm was happy to adjust its services to fit the needs of the community. "If Lawrence wants to be a 'green' city, we need to catch up on recycling." Cromwell said. The discussion to change the system really started rolling when Hamm Sanitary Landfill sought a $1 per residential household increase in the fees they charge to accept Lawrence trash. Currently the rate is about $14 per household to take the trash. However, Cromwell said problems abound when trying to figure out how a new system will work. He said hauling trash in student areas is always difficult. One of the reasons is that if students are putting their trash in a community dumpster it would be difficult to do pay-per-bag. "This is not going to be a one-size-fits-all solution." Cromwell said. "But it's too important to ignore." Cromwell is also trying to get more Ripple Glass receptacles set up around Lawrence. Ripple Glass asks residents to bring their glass to collection points, and then Ripple Glass takes it to a processing plant in Kansas City and recycles it. Currently Lawrence has one Ripple Glass location in the Lawrence Recycling Center. Amy Ferguson, a representative of Ripple Glass, said the company hoped to have more location in the near future. Crowell said he should have the task force in place within the next six to eight weeks. - Edited by Michael Bednar Sarah Hockel/KANSAN Got SafeRide? ERS Mason Haggerty, a senior from Overland Park, looks through information at the Save A Life Tour Tuesday afternoon at the Union. The tour was on campus to educate students about the risks that come with drinking and driving and to inform them of resources, like SafeRide, that are available to them to prevent drinking and driving. Institute promotes greater technology use CAMPUS BY STEPHEN GRAY The University of Kansas will launch a new Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities this fall to address a growing need on campus for technology. Resources for the institute will initially come from three sponsoring partners to support technology infrastructure. The institute will base its operations in the KU Libraries' Center for Digital Scholarship on the fourth floor of Watson Library. The institute was the core recommendation made by the task force on digital initiatives in the humanities, formed in fall 2008 by a partnership of KU Libraries, the Hall Center for the Humanities, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "It was recognized that KU was well behind other institutions in the support for digital research in the humanities and social sciences," said Allan Hanson, anthropology professor and co-chairman of the task force. "The task force was formed to propose steps that the University might take to catch up." One such tool is KU Scholar. Works, an online repository for work The institute's initial goals include providing new educational opportunities for graduate students and faculty and supporting the use of technology in advancing humanistic research. created by faculty at the University. Its use allows new electronic journals and monographs to be published online more efficiently. Arienne Dwyer, associate professor of linguistic anthropology and co-director of the institute, said the institute would encourage better digital practices on campus and promote collaboration in humanistic research, which is typically a lone-ranger activity. In addition to its support to University researchers, students will also reap the benefits of this institute as new digital technologies are brought into the classroom. "A history or archaeology class might include some sort of 3D visualization of a site that would be a lot more exciting than looking at a slide or PowerPoint," Dwyer said. Brian Rosenblum, digital initiatives librarian and co-director of the institute, said that the greater use of technology would lead to increased association between researchers, both inside the University and with other institutions. "We hope to make the research more accessible to the community and work with other digital humanities centers, especially on grant-funded projects," Rosenblum said. ADMINISTRATION Edited by Michael Bednar Naming of AD search committee postponed BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor.kansan.com Despite an announcement last week that the search committee for athletics director would be unveiled by the end of this week, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little is not expected to make an announcement until next week. director. A committee of that size would differ from the search committee in 2003 that named Perkins athletics After Lew Perkins' early retirement was announced last week, Gray-Little released a statement indicating she would name a search committee of five to six members by the end of this week. At that time, only Robert Hemenway and A. Drue Jennings Heinheim and A. Drue Jennings then chancellor and interim athletics director respectively — conducted the search. Jennings also headed the search committee for chancellor after Hemenway retired in 2008 and could not be reached for comment Wednesday. If the past is any indicator of the future, one could look to Chapel Hill, N.C., for ideas as to Gray-Little's approach to the search committee. Before becoming chancellor at the University, Gray-Little worked for six years with Holden Thorp, now chancellor at University of North Carolina. Thorp is no stranger to having an athletics department dominate headlines outside of box scores. North Carolina's football program is under investigation by the NCAA for academic impropriety and allegations of illegal contact between agents and football players. Thorps handling of the situation was lauded by North Carolina faculty in a Wednesday Daily Tar Heel article. "Here, as we've been saying, our academic values come ahead of winning." Thorp said. "That's why we've been so focused in a detailed way on the situation that we have here now." Thorp expects his former colleague to set up a process that is fair to all candidates and an environment where all have an equal chance. Then North Carolina's chair of psychology, Gray-Little worked on the search committee that selected Jerry Moeser as chancellor in 2000. Moeser said he was impressed with her style of interviewing. "They were insightful and penetrating questions," Moeser said. "But even more important was the way she listened to my answers." Moeser said he would imagine Gray-Little taking the same approach toward the search committee as he did. "I always told search committees to take their title seriously." Moeser said. "Their job was to search not just to screen." To Moeser this means not limiting candidates to one region. "The danger is if one limits a search to a local search or even just a regional search, you don't have the benefit of measuring candidates against a wide and diverse pool," Moeser said. Gray-Little will be in Topeka Thursday to give the Board of Regents an update on the University's handling of the ticket scandal uncovered in May. Edited by Lisa Curran AWARD (CONTINUED FROM 1A) When Christian told his parents of the award, he initially told them they didn't need to attend the ceremony. It was no big deal, he said. But after learning more, they quickly adjusted their schedule for a trip to Lawrence. "I's always new to us," said Bonnie lensen, Christian's mother. "With this award I had to get online and look it up to see what it was and who Col. Donlon was." Donlon was the first American soldier to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in Vietnam. He volunteered to present Christian his award, added a personal coin from his collection and stayed long after the presentation to take part in training, often intericting. "For someone to sacrifice so much willing to show me some measure of respect, it's pretty humbling. I would say," Christian said. Nominations for the award are submitted by commanding officers nationwide. Jensen's nomination was reviewed by the Navy Service Training Command in Pensacola, Fla., before receiving validation from Legion of Valor Headquarters. Growing up in Paola, Christian often took part in baseball and swimming. He said he still enjoys hiking and swimming in his spare time. However, it came as a surprise when Christian told his parents of his career and college plans. Aside from Steve's father serving in the Korean war, the lensens have never been a military family. "He and I have gone round and round about it," Bonnie said. "It doesn't go away." Before law school and politics, the Marine Corps awaits Christian after walking down the hill in May. For his parents, their responsibilities also continue. "He has two younger brothers," Bonnie said. "So they've got big shoes to fill."

But that's not all! They got free It was like "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," but without all those nettlesome questions separating people from their prizes.

Later this week, before announcing her new book club pick Friday, she'll interview the Washington state woman who was scarred in an acid attack this summer, and she'll return to a West Virginia town where she did a powerful show about AIDS in 1987. Winfrey, for all the celebration bunkum she's helped promote, has also run a fairly high-minded show for most of her tenure. And the hardcore fans probably don't see any tension between Oprah as saint and Oprah as Santa Claus. Winfrey brought into the audience Monday not only the six roadripping women from Boston, but a guy who loves NASCAR and Oprah, and a schoolteacher who, as a 9-year-old, had been on the show in 1993 because she was a precocious Oprah devotee. They, along with most everyone else on hand, seemed to lap up the first shaw's mixture of the senti- Travolta, voted the show's all-time favorite guest after 11 previous appearances, danced Winfrey onto the stage in the kind of faux-flatty act they developed. Later, he would don his Qantas pilot uniform (true fact, though he may not be the airline's busiest captain) to help give the trip away and plug the airline. "Oprah, there's only one of you, and there'll never be another one," Travolta told the Chicago-based talk-show host, who will move on next year to the West Coast to host a new, less frequent, evening show on her own cable channel, the Oprah Winfrey Network. A rabid fan from Alberta, Canada — she estimated she has watched 5,500 hours of "Oprab" through the years — was shown on tape calling Travolta's 50th-birthday salute to Winfrey her favorite on-show moment. The not-exactly-understated toast? "You represent the best of our country, and what's possible in our country," Travolta said in the 2004 episode, "but more importantly you are a citizen of the world, and you are a hero to mankind." Well. The plan, producers have said, is for the final season to provide one big "moment" after another. But it's hard to imagine keeping pace with an initial episode that served up a free, expensive vacation and a virtual Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Fasten your seat belts, viewers. It's going to be a bumpy final ride.

That is why groups like the Department of Student Success exist to help students' progress through difficulties and help students ultimately to graduate This year Student Success is implementing new programs such as an early alert system to notify students of holds on their accounts due to parking tickets or other financial mishaps or when teachers have noticed a problem such as poor attendance. Not only would the student get a notification, but the Office of Student Success would have a Helpful programs like these, however, do not exempt students of personal responsibility. Students must realize that they have to be responsible for their education. At the start of every semester we have all seen the hordes of people in blue KU shirts out there to help students find obscure buildings like J.R. Pearson are or how to find a classroom in a maze like Wescoe. There are other programs Student Senate is improving however that are much simpler and aimed at helping everyone, not just those with difficulties. The implementation of new programs will hopefully help win a round or two in the battle against less than stellar graduation rates. future, a positive for all students Programs like this are planned to be bigger and better in the If going to class equates to nap time for you, or every night you go drinking instead of doing the slightest bit of homework, college might not be for you right now. But if you have a serious interest in pursuing an education Student Services may now be better equipped to help. In order to do that, however, students have to take a personal interest in their own education. No school program can do that.

Great communication skills A job MARIAM SAIFAN RELATIONSHIPS Facebook distorts relationship boundaries and development Thanks to 26-year-old Mark Zuckerburg, we now demand that an electronic declaration of our new relationships is sent to the newsfeeds of everyone from our best friend's aunt to all of those people from high school whom we purposely failed to keep contact with. Within a short amount of time, Facebook redefined social life of an entire generation. Even just six years ago, we wouldn't have considered scanning through 30 play-by-play photos of Saturday's tailgating shenanigans of mere acquaintances. We wouldn't know how much "that one chick from high school" is now infatuated with Justin Bieber. We wouldn't know that our ex-boyfriend's younger cousin is getting married. And, frankly, neither would we care. We want our profiles to be permanently linked to each other (until the break-up that is). We also want everyone who sees our significant other's profile to see Nonetheless, within the span of less than a decade, Facebook has implanted all of these norms in our culture without many of us really noticing. Take for example the new question that has ingrained itself in our nomenclature: "Is it Facebook official?" Although these little developments may not seem significant, Facebook is affecting life in some influential ways. Clearly, privately discussing the solidification of a relationship just doesn't cut it with our generation. Texts in the City BY MANDY MATNEY that, even on the online world, we are attached to each other. I mean, what better says "legitimacy" than a Facebook official relationship? My boyfriend and I decided to be in an exclusive relationship a few weeks ago. Unlike many "Generation Y" couples, this decision had nothing to do with Facebook. After a few dates and a few months of "talking," we agreed the next appropriate step was to establish clear boundaries on our relationship. This led to the labels of "boyfriend" and "girlfriend." But, apparently, this is abnormal. Many couples clarify their statuses with Facebook relationship request, before even discussing the personal and more important things. And, if it doesn't last, we want to notify the same 1,000 people of the relationship's tragic end. That one broken heart says more than any words possibly could. Shortly following my conversation with my boyfriend, we both personally informed our close circle of friends. Still, we purposely hesitated to make it "Facebook official." It has always seemed to me that the more people broadcast their affection, the less they really care for each other. There is something to be said about people, such as my be-t friend and her boyfriend of five years, who have never needed or used Facebook to solidify their relationship. As a relationship-curious columnist, I finally swallowed my pride and asked my boyfriend to be "Facebook official" to see whether the title carries any true significance. But as I thought about our decision to not be "Facebook official," the more I questioned our motives I knew we were more serious than many of the couples on Facebook, but the weaker side of me started to doubt myself. I realized that out of our approximate 2,000 "friends" on Facebook, we only have 54 friends in common. Meaning, our relationship announcement probably made it into the newsfeeds of hundreds of people who couldn't care less. It wasn't until we actually made our relationship "Facebook of-icial" when I realized the stupidity behind the entire ideology. What if people don't take us seriously? What if they think we are purposely hiding our relationship? Am I? A lot of our friends who already knew of the relationship reacted with, "it's about time ..." Which conclusively proves my point: Facebook has hardwired our brains into thinking we need societal approval of our relationships. Matney is a junior from Shawnee in journalism. HUMOR Site unleashes internet abyss Today on this wonderful Thursday, I have but one question for you Jayhawks: I am 12 and what is this? And for those people who don't understand question: I applaud you. You will truly do something worthwhile with your life. For those of you who don't spend most of their time in a basement or a place that feels like a basement that question might mean nothing. To those who understand the question, you may already be gone — having thrown the paper in rage and queried to no one in particular: "What is this? I can't fap to this." As I walked into the Kansas Memorial Union the other day to pick up my textbooks for macroeconomics, algebra, and modern art (I truly am a Renaissance Man), I noticed some the very URL I just shared with you written in chalk on a pillar. I instantly texted a few of my friends the URL, and found my way to a dark corner of EGARC to explore what was surely a sad excuse of a website. But to those left, I have one thing to share with you: KUChan.org. You see, for those of you not in the know, there is this website out there entitled 4Chan. Moot, a mysterious man/final boss for Law & Order, launched the website in 2003. For those of you innocents, the website is an imageboard, in which you can post images and text completely anonymously. The "anonymous" part tends to bring out the crazies. Seriously, the Men In Black (starring Woll Smoth), themselves could not erase my memory from some of the gory images, racism, sexism, and smut I've seen on those boards. However, for those of you who've never entered the image-filled Hell that is 4Chan, many of the things you laugh at on the internet were spawned by the demons who inhabit themselfs. Oddities BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL ccarmichael@kansan.com So, what is KUChan? Well, it seems to be some Jayhawk-oriented knock-off of 4Chan itself created by some weirdo from Lawrence in the magically boring time between looking at porn and looking at porn. There are several boards: the all-too-familiar evil Random Board; the GIF images Board; a videogame-themed board; and a Team Fortress 2 themed board (for reason that may involve the webmaster being 13 years old). There are also a few locally-themed boards for buying and selling stuff, upcoming events. Some of my puritanical friends who came to 4Chan on the Mayflower in the year 2 B.B. ("Before Boxxy") do not think the site is a good idea. However, I think it has some promise. I mean who's smuttier and more repressed than a Kansan? Maybe, we could make some Jayhawk themed meme. LOHhwaks or Courage Jayhawk, perhaps? Either way, if you lack a sense of humor or nerves, 4Chan and KUChan are not for you. This is for those who have scrolled down past pictures of their favorite Wild Thornberries characters drawn in compromising positions (Rule 34), rolled for doubles and for those who know why Stu Pickles is making pudding at 4 a.m. OP out! Do you like LOLCats? How about de-motivational posters? Those were popularized by the furry-loving basement-dwellers who post on 4Chan.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Economic history flawed First, if we could use history to predict the future, historians would be millionaires. We aren't millionaires. In Seth Robinson's column "Learning from our History in Times of Economic Uncertainties," the columnist appeals to history to argue that "massive government spending did not, and will not, help the economy." The columnist paints the 1920s as a halcyon of prosperity with sure-footed Republican president's policy as the cause of reform. The depression that Seth referenced as "1920-1921" actually began in 1919, and was caused by the transition from a wartime economy to a peacetime economy—a removal of government spending. The supposed economic brilliance of the Harding administration must be placed alongside the Tea Pot Dome scandal (a corrupt collusion between government and business), and the fact that new consumable technologies were being introduced into the economy. Also, the farming economy of the 1920s was not one "of economic prosperity and low unemployment rates." Rather, it was one of incredibly low prices and low profit, and great hardship. The economic prosperity of the 1920s was also due to bubbles such as the stock market bubble and the Florida land boom bubble. When the bubble popped under Hoover, hard times set in. Furthermore, Seth equates the year 1933 with the New Deal, and points to 24.9 percent unemployment as proof of its failure. First, many New Deal programs were instituted after 1933. For those that were created in 1933, it took months to implement them and see unemployment decrease. Employment generally rose after 1933, albeit with slight reversals in 1937. I applaud Seth's historical inquiries, and encourage him to keep investigating. However, I would encourage him to take an even-handed approach in the future.

The all-time Kansas-Kansas State series moves to 58-36. The Wildcats dominated the first set, racking up 11 kills to the Jayhawks' seven and out-blocking the Jayhawks 5-0. Kansas State was greatly helped in that effort by sophomore middle blocker Alex Muff, who contributed four kills and four blocks, and its new setter, sophomore Caitlyn Donahue. Kansas State won the first set 15-25, despite the fact that both teams had an equal number of errors. In the second set, the lajhways began to close distance with the Wildcats. Junior setter Nicole Tate put up a block and 10 assists in that effort, but Kansas State continued to have success offensively — with 13 kills — and defensively, with five blocks. Five of those kills and two of the blocks came from Wildcat senior outside hitter JuliAnn Chisholm. Of Tate, sophomore defensive specialist Morgan Boub said: "She did really well. She did a good job of making smart sets." The Jayhawks rallied in the third set, which again featured an outstanding performance by Tate, who scored two aces and a kill along with her nine assists. At the same time, junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield made some offensive contributions in the form of four kills, two blocks and an assist. As both teams increasingly began to commit attack errors, the Jayhawks pulled out the third set 25-23, pushing the game to a fourth. The Jayhawks got on top in the fourth set, as Mayfield went on Mayfield said there were times that the Jayhawks were in control of the game but let it slip. "Sometimes we were lined up great and had a good block," she said. "But sometimes we didn't close the block . . . it was a tough one to lose." une offense scoring, 18 kills in 45 attempts. Though not a high attack percentage,.111, it did leave Mayfield leading the team in kills and contributed to Kansas taking the set. But Kansas State caught up before Kansas could close out the set, tying it at 27-27 on the strength of 21 kills. Another kill, by freshman middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger, gave the Wildcats the lead. Some last minute errors and a block by Muff ended the set 29-31, and Kansas lost the match 1-3. Three of Kansas State's players had double-digit kills in the match: Pelger contributed 10, Muff scored 12, and Chisholm led with 15. Kansas benefitted from the 18 kills provided by Mayfield and the 12 from Garlington — as well as the assistance of Tate — but never made it to fifth set and a chance to reverse the match. Bechard said as the Jayhawks go back to practice and prepare for the next match, there will be a lot of points to address. "In practice," he said, "it is very difficult to reproduce the chaos that comes in some of these rallies." As Big 12 Conference play continues, Kansas will play Texas A&M at Horejsi Family Athletics Center in Lawrence on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. As the layhawks are now 0-1 in conference play, they have dropped to 10th in the Big 12 with a record of 9-3.

Weaver (12-11) retired 21 of the 22 batters he faced over seven innings to snap the longest losing streak of his career at four games. He is 1-4 in seven starts since defeating Detroit 4-2 on Aug. 6. The right-hander struck out seven to take over the AL lead with 218, four more than Seattle's Felix Hernandez. He retired the first 11 men he faced until Shin-Soo Chou hit a sharp single past second baseman Howie Kendrick with two outs in the fourth. That gave the outfielder a .476 (10 for 21) career average against the Angels ace. The Angels got three singles and three walks off Jeanmar Gomez (3-4) to take a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Juan Rivera had an RBI single, Kendrick walked with the bases loaded and rookie Hank Conger got his first career hit, a two-run single. A throwing error by Indians third baseman Jayson Nix in the second inning helped Los Angeles go ahead 7-0. Torii Hunter had an RBI single and scored on Hideki Matsui's triple off the wall in center. Rivera singled home Matsui. Weaver set down the last 10 Indians he faced. He struck out the side in the fifth, throwing 14 of 19 pitches for strikes. Before the game, Angels manager Mike Scioscia expressed confidence in Weaver. "I think right now he's throwing the ball better than any time we've seen him," Secioscia said. "He's really putting pitches together better than he ever has. He's executing them better. "His stuff right now is every bit as crisp as it was at the beginning of the year, and that's a huge sign."

Mychal Wynn, motivational speaker FACT OF THE DAY Kansas hasn't played on ESPN since hosting Texas Tech in 2008. Kansas Athletics TRIVIA OF THE DAY After going to Mississippi, how many states will Kansas football have played in? A: 37 (plus Washington D.C.) Kansas Athletics Refs' calls should be consistent MORNING BREW Two exciting plays, two touchdowns but not quite the same endings. The fans in Lawrence and The tails in Lawrence and Tuscaloosa, Ala., both erupted in the same way. Players on both home sidelines were fired up and cheering for the six points their team just put on the scoreboard. P. MORRISON Kansas wide receiver Daymond Patterson scored on a stellar 32-yard touchdown reception that was a Top 10 play on ESPN this past week. Patterson broke tackles and juked defenders out left and right on the play. BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com The play was crucial to the game and one of the most exciting at Memorial Stadium in a long time. Patterson was rightfully excited and decided to add a little punctuation mark to end his thrilling play. Patterson broke the plane of the endzone upside down after completing a very impressive front flip. He landed safely and went on to celebrate with his teammates just as he should have. That should have been it, but the sideline referee decided to reach into his pocket and grab the little yellow handkerchief that all players crunge to see. Alabama wide receiver Kevin Norwood also scored on a stellar 36-yard touchdown pass in the Crimson Tide's big game against Penn State this past weekend. Norwood slyly slipped through three Penn State defenders before breaking out into the open field with no one between him and the endzone. The play set the tone for the rest of the game, as it was the first score in the contest. Over 100,000 Alabama fans exploded in joy when Norwood broke free. Norwood was also rightfully excited, and decided to add a little punctuation mark to end his stunning display of speed. THE MORNING BREW Kansas was penalized 15 yards for Patterson's exciting display of emotion. Norwood flew over the goal line upside down after completing a very impressive front flip. The elated Norwood got up and ran over to his teammates thrilled to put his team on top. This time, the referee decided to keep his hands out of his pockets and away from the little yellow flag. I have a hard time believing that it just so happened that one of the most prestigious college football programs of all time got the benefit of the doubt when Kansas did not Alabama was not. Part of it could have been coincidence, but there is a little more to it than just eerily similar plays. There is a double standard in the world of college football. It is not a coincidence that schools like Texas, Notre Dame and Alabama will often squeak by the rules while others cannot. Mark Mangino described it best; "Dollar signs." Edited by Clark Goble According to a report in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, rookie Xavier Henry is moving closer to finally signing a contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, the team that drafted him 12th in this summer's NBA Draft. BIG 12 FOOTBALL MEN'S BASKETBALL Henry's three-month long holdout was precipitated by Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley's uncommon insistence that Henry agree to performance incentives to reach the maximum salary for his draft slot. Henry was the only first round draft pick with an incentive-laden contract offer Bill Snyder doubts defense's maturity Henry very close to Grizzlies deal In accordance with the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, teams can pay anywhere from 80 to 120 percent of the amount mandated by the league's rookie pay scale. Heisley offered 100 percent with the remaining 20 percent tied up in performance benefits, but decided upon further review of the agreement to offer the full 120 percent. MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State cant help but wonder which defense will show up Saturday to confront Iowa State. Will it be the swarming, aggressive unit that forced three turnovers and held UCLA to 120 yards passing while beating the Bruins in the season opener? Or will it be the defense that let Missouri State amass 447 yards last week? ASSOCIATED PRESS The lower-division Bears rolled up almost 200 more yards than the Bruins and took better care of the ball. The Bears threw 42 passes, but Kansas State picked off only one. "It was a disappointment," said defensive back David Garrett. "That was not us. They had a 99-yard drive against us. That is never good. Then they had 11 minutes of possession time, which is a whole quarter for their team basically. For us to win the game, we have to keep them out of the end zone and keep our offense on the field. So that was a letdown for our defense and as a team." The team goal is to get at least three turnovers a game. UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince, coming off an impressive 2009 campaign, is generally thought of as one of the top passers in the Pac-10. But on Sept. 4 against the Wildcats, Prince was only 9 for 26. A week later, Missouri State's Cody Kirby was 20 of 42 for 281 yards. "One of our captains spoke of maturity throughout the week for (the Missouri State game) and whether we were mature enough to handle it," coach Bill Snyder said. "I am not so sure we were mature enough, in all honesty. We really need to more consistent in order to have any degree of success." Defensive linemen Brandon Harold and Raphael Guidry each had nine tackles, and linebacker Alex Hrebec brought his season total to 20. Snyder said he was pleased with how the defense played for the majority of the first half against the Bears. Until the last two snaps of the first half, the Bears had only 80 total yards. Despite allowing three touchdowns to an FCS team, there were positives. Iowa State comes in following a 35-7 smackdown at the hands of No. 9 Iowa. The Cyclones (1-1) got their only score late in the game after Iowa had pulled most of its starters.

W i t h Tulowitzki hitting a pair of three-run homers and an RBI single, and Jorge De La Rosa giving the beleaguered bullpen a break by pitching into the eighth, the Rockies climbed within $2\frac{1}{2}$ games of San Diego. They also closed within $2\frac{1}{2}$ games of Atlanta in the NL wild-card race. Adrian Gonzalez nearly matching Tauwitzki's offensive production. The first baseman hit two homers, including a three-run shot in the eighth that wiped out half of a 9-3 deficit. He finished with five RBIs and increased his season total to 29 homers. Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth for his 19th save in 23 chances. De La Rosa (8-4) snapped a string of short outings by Colorado Tulowitzki is making a late MVP push, as well, despite missing 33 games with a broken wrist. YOUR#1 785.838.3399 HIBACHI SPOT IN LAWRENCE across from Dillons north starters, giving up five runs and six hits in 7-1-3 innings. Colorado starters have been awful of late, overtaxing the bullpen. That cost them dearly Tuesday night when Edgner Escalona's failure to cover first base on a grounder to Todd Helton in the ninth inning led to the decisive run in a 7-6 loss. Clayton Richard (12-8) gave up a season-high eight runs and 11 hits in three innings. Colorado won the final game of a three-game seri overtaking the Padres. 2 final game series — not exactly what the team had in mind when the slumping Padres arrived at Coors Field on Monday. The Rockies were riding a 10-game winning streak and had designs on NL MVP candidate Carlos Gonzalez finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs, increasing his NL leads in batting average (.341) and RBIs (106). Tulowitzki is making a late MVP push, as well, despite missing 33 games with a broken wrist. He went 3 for 5 to raise his average to .325, second to Carlos Gonzalez. During a 10-game homestand, he batted .375 with nine homers and 21 RBIs. In the eighth inning, though, the Padres elected to walk Carlos Gonzalez with a runner on second and pitch to Tulowitzki. It's a strategy that worked as right-hander Ernesto Frieri retired Tulowitzki on a hard lineout to left. Richard gave up a three-run homer to Tulowitzki in the third. An inning later, Richard was pulled with the slugger stepping into the batter's box. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2010 13 VOLLEYBALL | 8A Jayhawks fall to in-state rivals Junior outside hitter Karina Garlington had 18 kills, but it wasn't enough for the Jayhawks. WWW.KANSAN.COM A WHOLE NEW GAME PLAN O. SMITH 11 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN Junior Linebacker Steven Johnson and freshman A.J. Steward wrap up a tackle Saturday against Georgia Tech. Johnson's experience on special teams helped his conditioning. Defensive scheme will change for Friday BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com PAGE 10A Junior linebacker Steven Johnson has dealt with all the rushing offense he can take in the first two games. "The first two games were just all pound, pound, pound," he said. "Just running the ball, Ugh." Game one had North Dakota running the ball 32 times as opposed to the 22 passes in the slow- Johnson paced loss. Last week, Georgia Tech's triple option offense went ballistic with 52 rushing attempts But the defensive front is having a blast. TOMMY HARRISON "That was the funnest game I've ever played in," freshman defensive end Keba Agostinho said about Georgia Tech. "I was having fun before we even went out there." It was a busy game for a defense that had its top three tacklers register 34 in the game. And somehow, they aren't tired at all, Johnson said that he and Big 12 defensive player of the week Justin Springer never get tired on the field. Johnson told his coach he could go a few more quarters after the game ended even after his 11 tackle performance. That's all thanks to him playing special teams last year and the strenuous practice regimen. The team just goes from drill to drill, no time for breaks. Practices get harder than the games, Johnson said. "If you want water," he said, "you better get it on the run." While the defensive line and linebackers are having all the fun, cornerback Chris Harris is waiting for something to come his way. He has six tackles on the season and has yet to break up or intercept a pass. "I haven't gotten any action the past two games," Harris said. "I'm ready to play a team where I know their best receiver is going to be in the boundary" Friday's game against Southern Mississippi can change that. If the game is anything like last season, the defensive backs will get some work. Led by receiver DeAndre Brown, who has 165 yards and two touchdowns this season, the Golden Eagles passing offense is ranked 28th in the nation. Brown had 85 yards and a touchdown against the Jayhawks last season, but Harris has a new weapon to use against him. Because this year, Southern Miss' offensive coordinator last year, Darrrell Wyatt, is the new wide receivers coach at Kansas. Harris is using that relationship to his advantage. "I expect to continue to be in his ear to see their weakness that I can use to my advantage in the game," Harris said. But even the defensive front is glad to be back to playing against a normal offense. "We had to change a lot of things," Agostinho said, "but I'm glad we're back to our normal defense." Edited by Tim Dwyer FOOTBALL Reesing's book offers inside look BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com Thousands of fans attend football games on Saturdays. Few, however, know what the game's like on the other side of the stands. Former Jayhawk quarterback Todd Reesing gives readers a peek into life as a Kansas football player in his new book "Rising to New Heights." The first chapter of the book covers Kansas' 2008 Orange Bowl win. Reesing vividly describes the day, as if he was writing moments after the final whistle blew. "It's a lot of insight," Reesing said. "I talk about what players think during a game." Bob Snodgrass, CEO and publisher of Ascend Books, approached Reesing in the spring to write the book. Reesing said the book "came out of nowhere." "It's a big part of our lives, so it really sticks with you," Reesing said. About three months later. Reesing and Pulliam started meeting. Reesing said it went surprisingly fast. Reesing started working with co-author, Kent Pulliam, and the two finished the first draft in about two months. A lot of the detail Reesing gives Reesing did not write much about former coach Mark Mangino. Reesing said that the events took place during two games out of a four-year career. He briefly touches on how the team was affected by the Mangino investigation. is based on his memory. He did not review game film, but he did double check box scores and the play-by-play for accuracy purposes. The book gave Reesing an opportunity to talk about the highs of the 2007 season and the lows of 2009. "I have nothing negative to say," Reesing said. "He was the only one to give me a chance." In the forward of the book, former Kansas All-American quarterback John Hadl said, "Todd is probably the greatest quarterback we have ever had at Kansas." Reasing took every advantage of that opportunity. Reeing did not just perform on the field; he also excelled in the classroom. He was humbled by the praise he received from professors. Finance professor Lisa Bergeron, who Reesing was a TA for, spoke very highly of Reesing. In the book she said Reesing did a good job balancing everything, even with how busy he was. He was disappointed he did not get an opportunity at an NFL camp this summer. Of the 14 quarterbacks drafted, only Dan Lefevour, Central Michigan, had more career passing yards. Reesing, however, was the shortest of those in this draft class. Reesing's effort on the field was not enough to land him a job in the NFL. He signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League in May, but was released in June. "It takes effort to make good grades and do well on the field." Reeing said. "You can't help your size, speed or how far you throw the ball," Reesing said. "The NFL is looking at physical statures and potential." Reesing is currently going between Lawrence and Austin and was at the Jayhawks first game versus North Dakota State. Reesing's emotions were running high, who watched as a fan for the first time. He had to adjust his mindset from player to fan. If Reeing cannot land a job in professional football, he said he hopes to use his finance and economics degree to stay in sports from a business standpoint.

Reeing's new book details what players thinking about during a game. COMMENTARY Finicky fanbase not what KU needs PETER LEE BY KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com Kansas City has never really been known for having fantastic sports having fantastic sports teams. There have been great coaches, great players and even great decades, but neither the Chiefs nor the Royals have been much to brag about lately. The thing that always surprises me is that every home opener fans show up in masses with renewed hope in their hometown team. The same positivity at the beginning of the season is present in the local college fans as well. A week ago many Kansas fans were ready to dismiss the entire season after a disappointing loss to North Dakota State, but miraculously this week fans are praising new coach Turner Gill and the team and have a renewed hope for the season. This does not go for all fans of course. The stadium was respectfully full for an 11 a.m. game, but there was something missing until that first touchdown. Suddenly, it seemed with the chiming of the Campanile that hearts fluttered, and the hope was back. While fans may have no idea how the rest of the season will go for the Chiefs, they have hope that will stand at least until the next game. The same thing will happen here at Kansas. I do not want to say that fans are a fickle bunch, but there is a large group of people who will jump the bandwagon after a victory and hop off a loss. In my book, this is pretty much unforgivable in sports. Someone recently told me that my game day rituals and yelling at the television does not affect how the team will play. Really? Did you need to crush my dreams of contributing to the 2008 National Championship or 2007 Orange Bowl victory? Okay, I know that all of that is true, but fans do make a difference. The coaches and athletes always thank the fans and call us the "greatest fans in college sports." At some base level I like to think you enjoy having us up in the stands, hearing our cheers, feeling the hope and love for our college team. A similar phenomenon took place during the Chiefs game on Monday Night Football. Despite the Chiefs' difficult preseason and a talented foe to face, fans piled into Arrowhead hoping for something great to happen so they could once again start their love-hate relationship with the team. But after their team's victory Monday night, fans' Facebook statuses were consistently filled with excited game updates, and students discussed the game on campus while wearing Chiefs gear proudly. So dear readers, think about this the next time you are planning your weekend around whether or not to go to the games. Renew that hope that we start the season with and get to the games. Cheer until you lose your voice, don all sorts of Mardi Gras beads and other spired apparel and proudly wear the awkward tan lines you get from morning games. Give the team a chance. No matter what happens this season, we are still Jayhawks and always will be. That is something to be proud of right there. Edited by Michael Bednar LIFE. AND HOW TO HAVE ONE.

Lau is one of a few KU students competing in the competition that consists of an obstacle course, a strong man portion and a prowler challenge. FITNESS Students to compete in 'Strongman' games BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com Need a tow truck? For Skyler Farley, a junior from Lawrence, pulling a truck with his bare hands isn't a big deal. That's why he'll be at Watson Park on Saturday, participating in the 2nd Annual Next Level Games, which include the "Strongman Challenge," the "Prowler Challenge" and an obstacle course. The competition will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The "Strongman Challenge" involves pulling a truck, flipping a 450-pound tractor tire end-over-end and a "farmer's walk" of hauling heavy items through a course. Farley said he participated in an internship at the University of South Florida during the summer, where he worked out with a group of people training for "strong man" events. Now he incorporates it into his regular workouts, and said it helped him with normal weightlifting. "It's like, 'Oh, I just pushed a truck or I flipped this tire,' Farley said. "Everything seems easier after that." While he said the truck pull didn't require much attention to mechanics or timing — "it's pure effort" — the tire flip does. "Your time can be completely screwed up if you keep putting your hands in the wrong spot," he said. With the technical complexity of simply flipping a tractor tire, it isn't surprising that there are "strong man" classes offered locally. Chris Dellasega, a second-year graduate student from Pittsburg, is a strength coach for Next Level Fitness — the company hosting the competition — and has instructed a "strongman" group. He'll be helping run the event Saturday. He said that it could be difficult to train for a "strongman" event because many weightlifting techniques pinpoint one thing, while tire flips and truck pulls use multiple muscle groups in different ways. To put it differently, flipping a tire is a three-dimensional effort, compared with bench pressing something up and down. Dellasega suggests mimicking the event as closely as possible in training. "One of the best ways of getting good at flipping a tractor tire is to flip a tractor tire," he said. Although the "Strongman Challenge" is the most unusual part of the Next Level Games, the two other stages are designed to give the competition some balance. The "Prowler Challenge" requires competitors to push a weighted sled, similar to what a football team uses for practice, and an obstacle course that focuses on agility. "We're not just looking for big, bulky people or bodybuilders who aren't functional," said Laura Richards, who co-owns Next Level Fitness with her husband. She said about 40 people had signed up so far this year, compared with about 50 last year.

Again with a bit more urgency and volume: "KeLLLLCCCIII!" I knew this could mean only one thing — there was a mysterious creature in our house, and I was being summoned to kill it. As I neared the dining room, I saw my frightened roommate, Anne, crouched outside her doorway, where the most hideous thing I have ever seen lurked. This wasn't your average bug — it was a sickening mix of giant spider and cricket, with its hind legs higher than its two-toned black and brown body. Oh, and it jumped. No less than three feet in the air. Armed with a bottle of home defense killer bug spray, the third roommate, Kelly and I began spraying the shit out of the sucker until it died. Little did we know this creature had superpowers, bounding away as we doused it with rounds of bug spray. Eventually, we coated him with enough toxins that he froze in standing position. I'm sure his demonic soul lived on. After a quick googling of "mutant spider cricket from hell," we discovered its scientific term — CamelCricket The killing of the camel cricket(s) — there were more — isjustone ofthe many adventures we've faced. The air conditioning broke for the second time, and last Thursday we mourned the loss of Gus Gus, the mouse we trapped. But I just laugh at these inconveniences. When else can I put off productivity for an hour to kill a beastly insect in the TV room? Besides, the pros of our house outweigh the potentially hazardous cons: the Wheel's Wang burger is five minutes away, climbing hills to campus tones on calves, and there are endless amounts of wine-drinking and people-watching to be had on our porch at night. Whether it's been the less-than-perfect house of horrors or the white-washed prison cell room of McCollum freshman year, each place I've lived has given me a new environment and community to interact with. Be sure to check out Josh's story on page 13 for other types of community living. The way I see it, there's no better way to spend my last year at KU than in an ancient house on Tennessee Street with so many of my friends. Oh, I guess the girls are cool too.

ADULT SPORTS CLUB Students to compete in 'Strongman' games BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com Need a tow truck? For Skyler Farley, a junior from Lawrence, pulling a truck with his bare hands isn't a big deal. That's why he'll be at Watson Park on Saturday, participating in the 2nd Annual Next Level Games, which include the "Strongman Challenge," the "Prowler Challenge" and an obstacle course. The competition will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The "Strongman Challenge" involves pulling a truck, flipping a 450-pound tractor tire end-over-end and a "farmer's walk" of hauling heavy items through a course. Farley said he participated in an internship at the University of South Florida during the summer, where he worked out with a group of people training for "strong man" events. Now he incorporates it into his regular workouts, and said it helped him with normal weightlifting. "It's like, 'Oh, I just pushed a truck or I flipped this tire,' Farley While he said the truck pull didn't require much attention to mechanics or timing — "it's pure effort" — the tire flip does. "Your time can be completely screwed up if you keep putting your hands in the wrong spot," he said. With the technical complexity of simply flipping a tractor tire, it isn't surprising that there are "strong man" classes offered locally. said. "Everything seems easier after that." Chris Dellasega, a second-year graduate student from Pittsburg, is a strength coach for Next Level Fitness — the company hosting the competition — and has instructed a "strongman" group. He'll be helping run the event Saturday. He said that it could be difficult to train for a "strongman" event because many weightlifting techniques pinpoint one thing, while tire flips and truck pulls use multiple muscle groups in different ways. To put it differently, flipping a tire is a three-dimensional effort, compared with bench pressing "One of the best ways of getting good at flipping a tractor tire is to flip a tractor tire," he said. something up and down. Although the "Strongman Challenge" is the most unusual part of the Next Level Games, the two other stages are designed to give the competition some balance. The "Prowler Challenge" requires competitors to push a weighted sled, similar to what a football team uses for practice, and an obstacle course that focuses on agility. Dellasega suggests mimicking the event as closely as possible in training. "We're not just looking for big, bulky people or bodybuilders who aren't functional," said Laura Richards, who co-owns Next Level Fitness with her husband.

I'm planning on having sex for the first time but am worried about coming too early. My friend said the secret is to go slow or masturbate beforehand. What can I do to delay my orgasm? Junior Linebac A. Unless you have been doing your controlled masturbation exercises for the past four months, there is little you can do. Let's face it, only 2% of guys last as long as they want to first time. It's just not easy Ejaculatory control comes from experience, and exercising your brain and penis. Accept the fact that you are not going to last as long as you want. You can use an ejaculatory control condom to dull the sensation and help you last longer. I would also recommend extending the foreplay. Going slowly will certainly help, but it is far from a miracle cure. You have to know your body and work on controlling your orgasm to understand how to use your speed. But I would agree that slower is better if you want to last longer. The last thing I'll say is don't psyche yourself out. If you think, "Don't orgasm early, don't orgasm early," you won't last long. Instead, enjoy yourself and keep your mind in the moment. MIKE ANDERSON De to do. My first time went so fast I actually traveled back in time. When I was finished Neil Armstrong was walking on the moon. CATCH OF THE WEEK // BRIAN WRIGHT TURN ONS: I really like it if a girl can keep up and engage in the conversation because I can move kind of fast.

Edited by Tim Dwyer FOOTBALL Reesing's book offers inside look BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com Thousands of fans attend football games on Saturdays. Few, however, know what the game's like on the other side of the stands. Former Jayhawk quarterback Todd Reesing gives readers a peek into life as a Kansas football player in his new book "Rising to New Heights." The first chapter of the book covers Kansas' 2008 Orange Bowl win. Rees vividly describes the day, as if he was writing moments after the final whistle blew. "It's a lot of insight," Reeing said. "I talk about what players think during a game." Bob Snodgrass, CEO and publisher of Ascend Books, approached Reeing in the spring to write the book. Reeing said the book "came out of nowhere." "It's a big part of our lives, so it really sticks with you," Reesing said. Reeing started working with co-author, Kent Pulliam, and the two finished the first draft in about two months. About three months later, Reesing and Pulliam started meeting. Reesing said it went surprisingly fast. A lot of the detail Reesing gives Reesing did not write much about former coach Mark Mangino. Reesing said that the events took place during two games out of a four-year career. He briefly touches on how the team was affected by the Mangino investigation. is based on his memory. He did not review game film, but he did double check box scores and the play-by-play for accuracy purposes. The book gave Reesing an opportunity to talk about the highs of the 2007 season and the lows of 2009. "I have nothing negative to say," Reesing said. "He was the only one to give me a chance." In the forward of the book, former Kansas All-American quarterback John Hadl said, "Todd is probably the greatest quarterback we have ever had at Kansas." Reesing did not just perform on the field; he also excelled in the classroom. He was humbled by the praise he received from professors. Finance professor Lisa Bergeron, who Reesing was a TA for, spoke very highly of Reesing. In the book she said Reesing did a good job balancing everything, even Reeing took every advantage of that opportunity. He was disappointed he did not get an opportunity at an NFL camp this summer. Of the 14 quarterbacks drafted, only Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan, had more career passing yards. Reeing, however, was the shortest of those in this draft class. with how busv he was. Reesing's effort on the field was not enough to land him a job in the NFL. He signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League in May, but was released in June. "It ites effort to make good grades and do well on the field," Reeing said. "You can't help your size, speed or how far you throw the ball," Reesing said. "The NFL is looking at physical statures and potential." Reesing is currently going between Lawrence and Austin and was at the Jayhawks first game versus North Dakota State. Reesing's emotions were running high, who watched as a fan for the first time. He had to adjust his mindset from player to fan. If Reesing cannot land a job in professional football, he said he hopes to use his finance and economics degree to stay in sports from a business standpoint.

But after their team's victory Monday night, fans' Facebook statuses were consistently filled with excited game updates, and students discussed the game on campus while wearing Chiefs gear proudly. While fans may have no idea how the rest of the season will go for the Chiefs, they have hope that will stand at least until the next game. The same thing will happen here at Kansas. I do not want to say that fans are a fickle bunch, but there is a large group of people who will jump the bandwagon after a victory and hop off a loss. In my book, this is pretty much unforgivable in sports. Someone recently told me that my game day rituals and yelling at the television does not affect how the team will play. Really? Did you need to crush my dreams of contributing to the 2008 National Championship or 2007 Orange Bowl victory? Okay, I know that all of that is true, but fans do make a difference. The coaches and athletes always thank the fans and call us the "greatest fans in college sports." At some base level I like to think they enjoy having us up in the stands, hearing our cheers, feeling the hope and love for our college team. r So dear readers, think about this the next time you are planning your weekend around whether or not to go to the games. Renew that hope that we start the season with and get to the games. Cleer until you lose your voice, don all sorts of Mardi Gras beads and other spirited apparel and proudly wear the awkward tan lines you get from morning games. Give the team a chance. No matter what happens this season, we are still Jayhawks and always will be. That is something to be proud of right there. 1 Edited by Michael Bednar CONTACT ❤️ HOW WE MET // JOSH BARKER & KATE MONEYMAKER > All great relationships had to start somewhere. I'll just keep it simple. It's a photo of two people hugging each other. The man is wearing a bandana and has long hair, while the woman has short hair and is smiling broadly. They are sitting on a couch in a living room. Bentare of the Phog: The historic Allen Fieldhouse is loved by many fans, especially Kate Moneymaker, Emporia senior, and Josh Barker, Hamilton senior, who met there. Avoidance was the name of the game when Josh Barker first set sights on his now-girlfriend of 10 months, Kate Moneymaker. The two met while waiting in line for last year's "Late Night at the Phog." Barker, Hamilton senior, was waiting alone and asked Moneymaker, Emporia senior, to watch over his belongings while he wandered the area. He eventually overheard Moneymaker and her friend talking about Emporia, a town only 30 minutes away from his, and decided to talk to her. The three chatted during the show and Barker gave Moneymaker his number afterward. After a week or so of daily coffee breaks the two made it official. Their communication style has been a lot more direct since. "I'd been in a long-term relationship and I didn't want the bullshit," Barker says. "So we went into it as if we'd already been dating a year." The two also say they have strong personalities, but use it to their advantage. "We're stubborn, but we'll compromise when it's important to the other person," Moneymaker says. Another key to their success: "We make each other laugh," Barker says.

A 1 + HEALTH THAT'S DISGUSTING // IMPROPER HAND DRYING > Dude...gross 1. 洗手。 Soak it up: While washing your hands decreases the chance of sickness, it's only effective when they are thoroughly dried afterwards. Think washing your hands is enough to control the trillions of bacteria living on them? Think again. Krista Irick washes her hands for 20 to 30 seconds about 10 times a day. Like many people, she thinks this is an adequate way to control the rampancy of bacteria. "I touch my face a lot, so I try to make sure my hands are always clean," says Irick, a graduate student from Parkville. Mo. "If its got a good lather, washing your hands for longer than that seems a bit excessive." This isn't necessarily true. "You carry about as much bacteria on your body as there are people on the Earth," says Lester Mitscher, a professor of medicinal chemistry. "Rubbing your hands together while they're still wet is just redistributing what's left." A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology found that bacteria is transferred to other surfaces more readily if hands are left damp. Headed by Anna Snelling, a professor at Bradford University, the study also found that failing to dry thoroughly increases the potential spread of bacterial infections. "Good hand hygiene should include drying hands thoroughly and not just washing," Snelling says. Using paper towels or a hand dryer is the most hygienic method, and doesn't require rubbing your hands together. MEGAN RUPP BETTER OPTIONS FOR BAD SITUATIONS ALTERNATIVE SEXUAL PROTECTION ALTERNATIVE SEXUAL PROTECTION > If you're going to do it, be smart. Junior Line Plastic wrap isn't just for wrapping up your leftovers. Judy Whitehill, human sexuality professor at Garden City Community College, recommends using saran wrap as a dental dam for oral sex on a female. She says plastic wrap is made of polyurethane, which has been used to make condoms. "A better alternative would be to cut a new, non-lubricated male condom to make a barrier," Whitehill says. To do this, cut off the tip and slice it lengthwise to make a rectangle of latex. This is placed over the external female genitals, Whitehill says. To protect your hands from bodily fluids during foreplay, a latex glove can be used. Joshua Johnson, Kansas City senior says he knows how important it is to be protected at all times. "They showed us a presentation at school about how people can get STDs through foreplay," Johnson says. Continued phone Press and seal: To ensure sexual safety, plastic wrap and latex gloves can be used as a barrier for foreplay.

The "Strongman Challenge" involves pulling a truck, flipping a 450-pound tractor tire end-overend and a "farmer's walk" of hauling heavy items at a course. "It's like, 'Oh, I just pushed a truck or I flipped this tire,' Farley Farley said he participated in an internship at the University of South Florida during the summer, where he worked out with a group of people training for "strong man" events. Now he incorporates it into his regular workouts, and said it helped him with normal weightlifting. "Your time can be completely screwed up if you keep putting your hands in the wrong spot," he said.

Although the "Strongman Challenge" is the most unusual part of the Next Level Games, the two other stages are designed to give the competition some balance.

Though it requires patience and commitment, more than 14 million Americans suit up each week in little more than swimwear to reach their edge in a yoga studio heated to 95 to 105 degrees and practice Hot Yoga. As the Hot Yoga trend gains popularity, there is an increase in students practicing the fitness regimen. However, medical professionals have expressed concern about potential physiological damage. In 2007 more than 5,500 yoga-related injuries were treated nationwide, according to The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. The popular fitness fad is often confused with Bikram Yoga, which requires instructors to use specified verbal cues to guide a distinct series of 26 poses in intensely heated rooms. Hot Yoga allows instructors to provide individual attention to students performing traditional poses in the same high-heat environment. The elevated temperature enables increased flexibility, which allows students to build strength by holding difficult poses for longer periods of time. It also increases sweating, allowing the body to release harmful toxins. However, the heat raises concern because of the dangers it presents, including the potential for dehydration and overstretching. Amber Long, fitness coordinator at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, says whenever you're exercising in a high heat environment, the main concern becomes hydration and making sure you replenish the fluids you lose. Although Long says it can be beneficial to do yoga in a warmer environment because it allows the muscles to relax, there cuff, collarbone and wrist injury after practicing Bikram Yoga, the practice similar to Hot Yoga. She suggests students familiarize themselves with traditional yoga first to understand their own body and avoid pushing too far in heated environments. Brabender says heat warms the muscle for a deeper stretch, but depending on the person, stretching beyond 20% of the resting length can be damaging. She says heat can also elicit competitiveness, which is neither the intention nor healthy. RESPECT PAIN AS A SIGNAL FROM YOUR BODY THAT SOME- THING ISN'T RIGHT. TRISHA BRABENDER PHYSICAL THERAPIST LAWRENCE THERAPY SERVICES are potential dangers. Besides dehydration, a main concern of hot yoga is overstretching. Trisha Brabender, a physical therapist at Lawrence Therapy Services, suffered a rotator "It's important for the student and the instructor to respect pain as a signal from your body that something isn't quite right," Brabender says. The increase of yoga-related injuries might correlate with the proliferation of studios nationwide, Brabender says. She urged students to limit themselves to three or four times a week, hydrate sufficiently and not push beyond their own edge. Doctors are not the only ones questioning the intensity of hot yoga. Kara Hudson, a graduate student from Wichita, started practicing traditional yoga at the University in January, but has no interest in attempting Hot Yoga. "At first I wasn't even sure about regular yoga because it didn't seem like a very good workout, but it is." Hudson says. "Hot Yoga just sounds too intense." the practice of Hot Yoga, commonly mistaken for Bikram Yoga, emphasizes stretching and poses in high temperatures. This can lead to muscle injury and dehydration. "You need to hydrate and listen to your body," she says. Breath work, pace and temperature of the class can all have an influence on a participant's level of heat exhaustion. Horvatin says the American understanding of yoga as exercise is partly responsible for its association with injury because it disregards the promotion of body and breath consciousness. She says it's important to work to your ability and train to advance in your practice. Mary Horvatin, owner of Yoga Fix Studio in Kansas City, Kan., says yoga, developed in India, was designed to be practiced in heat as a meditative discipline that promoted breath control, health and relaxation. She says both traditional and hot forms are helpful in promoting fitness, and Hot Yoga has the added benefit of detoxifying the body through sweat. "If you're someone who is Type A and you're trying to compete with your neighbor or push yourself too hard, it's easy to hurt yourself because you're not working to your edge, you're working to a point of pain," Horvatin says.

Few, however, know what the game's like on the other side of the stands. The first chapter of the book covers Kansas' 2008 Orange Bowl win. Reening vividly describes the day, as if he was writing moments after the final whistle blew. Former Jayhawk quarterback Todd Reesing gives readers a peek into life as a Kansas football player in his new book "Rising to New Heights." "It's a lot of insight," Reesing said. "I talk about what players think during a game." Bob Snodgrass, CEO and publisher of Ascend Books, approached Reesing in the spring to write the book. Reesing said the book "came out of nowhere." "It's a big part of our lives, so it really sticks with you," Reesing said. About three months later, Reeing and Pulliam started meeting. Reeing said it went surprisingly fast. Reeing started working with co-author, Kent Pulliam, and the two finished the first draft in about two months. A lot of the detail Reesing gives is based on his memory. He did not review game film, but he did double check box scores and the play-by-play for accuracy purposes. Reeing did not write much about former coach Mark Mangino. Reeing said that the events took place during two games out of a four-year career. He briefly touches on how the team was affected by the Mangino investigation. The book gave Reesing an opportunity to talk about the highs of the 2007 season and the lows of 2009. "I have nothing negative to say," Reesing said. "He was the only one to give me a chance." In the forward of the book, former Kansas All-American quarterback John Hadl said, "Todd is probably the greatest quarterback we have ever had at Kansas." Reeing took even advantage of that opportunity. Reesing did not just perform on the field; he also excelled in the classroom. He was humbled by the praise he received from professors. Finance professor Lisa Bergeron, who Reesing was a TA for, spoke very highly of Reesing. In the book she said Reesing did a good job balancing everything, even He was disappointed he did not get an opportunity at an NFL camp this summer. Of the 14 quarterbacks drafted, only Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan, had more career passing yards. Reeing, however, was the shortest of those in this draft class. with how busy he was. "You can't help your size, speed or how far you throw the ball," Reesing said. "The NFL is looking at physical statures and potential." "It takes effort to make good grades and do well on the field." Reeing said. Reesing's effort on the field was not enough to land him a job in the NFL. He signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League in May, but was released in June. Reeing is currently going between Lawrence and Austin and was at the Jayhawks first game versus North Dakota State. Reesing's emotions were running high, who watched as a fan for the first time. He had to adjust his mindset from player to fan. If Reesing cannot land a job in professional football, he said he hopes to use his finance and economics degree to stay in sports from a business standpoint.

But after their teams victory Monday night, fans' Facebook statuses were consistently filled with excited game updates, and students discussed the game on campus while wearing Chiefs gear proudly. While fans may have no idea how the rest of the season will go for the Chiefs, they have hope that will stand at least until the next game. The same thing will happen here at Kansas. I do not want to say that fans are a fickle bunch, but there is a large group of people who will jump the bandwagon after a victory and hop off after a loss. In my book, this is pretty much unforgivable in sports. Someone recently told me that my game day rituals and yelling at the television does not affect how the team will play. Really? Did you need to crush my dreams of contributing to the 2008 National Championship or 2007 Orange Bowl victory? Okay, I know that all of that is true, but fans do make a difference. The coaches and athletes always thank the fans and call us the "greatest fans in college sports." At some base level I like to think they enjoy having us up in the stands, hearing our cheers, feeling the hope and love for our college team. So dear readers, think about this the next time you are planning your weekend around whether or not to go to the games. Renew that hope that we start the season with and get to the games. Cleer until you lose your voice, don all sorts of Mardi Gras beads and other spirited apparel and proudly wear the awkward tan lines you get from morning games. Give the team a chance. No matter what happens this season, we are still Jayhawks and always will be. That is something to be proud of right there. 1 Edited by Michael Bednni FEATURE ★ 1 3 1.

STUDENTS FORSAKE SPACE AND COMFORT TO GET INTENTIONAL ABOUT COMMUNITY. JOSH HAFNER August 15 was move-in day on Daisy Hill. A mess of minivans and pick-up trucks driven by parents spending their Sunday carrying boxes and futons up dormitory stairwells, left students On the opposite corner of campus, across from the Kansas Union and in the shadow of the Oread Hotel, 1200 Oread Ave., another group of new residents settled into the basement of the 51-year-old Ecumenical Christian Ministries building. The living room is well worn, but charming. Natural light shines through onto the room's various houseplants. Atop a brick fireplace stand both a large cross and a hookah, a reminder that both faith and youth are found here. So why forgo space and comfort to move into an aging structure that lacks central air conditioning? For Andrea Sitek, who calls the ECM home, the goal is intentional community. "We have a lot of people coming from different places, but generally people who are wanting to be involved in a community and wanting to grow." Sitek, Andover junior, says. "Allowing yourself to be a part of a community is an opportunity for growth in a lot of ways, and I think people who seek this out are aware of that." Since 1961, men and women have cohabitated in the lower level of 1204 Oread as part of the ECM's Koinonia community, a program that seeks to provide affordable housing and a yearlong growing experience in service, fellowship and faith. Most members are students, though some are recent graduates involved in nonprofit work. "Koinonia" is a Greek word that, translated loosely, means communion. However, sitting around the dining table in the their basement, the new roommates debate the precise translation. "It means community," says Ben Dillon, a recent journalism graduate from the University of Missouri, who intends to work with Americorps this fall. "So when we call it the Koinonia Community, it's kind of redundant." "Does it? I thought it meant fellowship," Sitek says. "Ah yes, it's Greek for 'sharing your life with another in a friendship that is capable of being in another person's shoes,'" says Erik Buchholz, a 2010 graduate in psychology and Chinese who reads the definition from a packet of information on Koinonia. "But that's the long definition." Though new members are still grappling with what "Koinonia" means, living up to the group's name and goals of compassion and empathy can prove challenging, says Thad Holcomb, the ECM pastor who has overseen Koinonia since 1991. "It connotes a community, not a group, and many who become a part not only are attracted because of that sense of community, but work hard at it occurring," he says. Aside from living together, members volunteer 45 hours each semester with local service programs, such as tending community gardens or tutoring ESL students. They also meet weekly to share community meals, where, besides food, many other items come to the table, from deep discussions on faith to who didn't wash their dishes. "We talk about where we are with our spirituality, but that's not all we talk about." Sitek says. "That's one time when conflicts come to the table. We try not to be passive aggressive or talking behind each other's backs." Sitek, Konoinia's only returning resident, lived in Hashinger Hall her freshman year. Although a sense of community can be found in the residence halls, it's neither obligatory nor guaranteed. Students can take their hall's side-stairwell on their way to class instead of passing their floormates in the lobby. The theory at Konoimia is that life is better when shared together and deeply, Sitek says. "The goal is to work through that conflict and become a stronger community," she says. Sometimes conflicts pertaining to the Koinonia living space arise. During the dining table discussion, the ECM's aging interior began to show its wear. "I'm being dripped on," declares Dillon, pausing to inspect the ceiling. "I just realized this wall is wet right here." Sitek points to a corner where the basement's parquet tiles are covered in water. OTHER TYPES OF COMMUNITY LIVING Though it's still early in the year, the residents find that each conflict, whether flooded basement or personal dispute, draws them closer together in community — in Koinonia. And while none of them can foresee what the upcoming year might hold, they hope to go through it together. It's a process Holcomb has had the opportunity to witness for almost 20 years." Members often state that they have experienced great support through crisis and a place to laugh and cry without being embarrassed," he says. "Koinonia attempts to be a place where hospitality is practiced through compassion and faith is explored."

To put it differently, flipping a tire is a three-dimensional effort, compared with bench pressing Although the "Strongman Challenge" is the most unusual part of the Next Level Games, the two other stages are designed to give the competition some balance. The "Prowler Challenge" requires competitors to push a weighted sled, similar to what a football team uses for practice, and an obstacle course that focuses on agility. New coach will create stability "We're not just looking for big, bulky people or bodybuilders who aren't functional," said Laura Richards, who co-owns Next Level Fitness with her husband. She said about 40 people had signed up so far this year, compared with about 50 last year. "One of the best ways of getting good at flipping a tractor tire is to flip a tractor tire," he said. A team of three University of Kansas track athletes will also be competing Saturday, despite not Dellasega suggests mimicking the event as closely as possible in training.

Few, however, know what the game's like on the other side of the stands. Former Jayhawk quarterback Todd Reesing gives readers a peek into life as a Kansas football player in his new book "Rising to New Heights." The first chapter of the book covers Kansas' 2008 Orange Bowl win. Reesing vividly describes the day, as if he was writing moments after the final whistle blew. "It's a lot of insight," Reesing said. "I talk about what players think during a game." Bob Snodgrass, CEO and publisher of Ascend Books, approached Reesing in the spring to write the book. Reesing said the book "came out of nowhere." Reeing started working with co-author, Kent Pulliam, and the two finished the first draft in about two months. "It's a big part of our lives, so it really sticks with you," Reesing said. About three months later, Reesing and Pulliam started meeting. Reesing said it went surprisingly fast. A lot of the detail Reesing gives is based on his memory. He did not review game film, but he did double check box scores and the play-by-play for accuracy purposes. In the forward of the book, former Kansas All-American quarterback John Hadl said, "Todd is probably the greatest quarterback we have ever had at Kansas." The book gave Reesing an opportunity to talk about the highs of the 2007 season and the lows of 2009. Reeing did not write much about former coach Mark Mangino. Reeing said that the events took place during two games out of a four-year career. He briefly touches on how the team was affected by the Mangino investigation. "I have nothing negative to say," Reesing said. "He was the only one to give me a chance." Reeing took every advantage of that opportunity. He was humbled by the praise he received from professors. Finance professor Lisa Bergeron, who Reesing was a TA for, spoke very highly of Reesing. In the book she said Reesing did a good job balancing everything, even Reesing did not just perform on the field; he also excelled in the classroom. Reesing's effort on the field was not enough to land him a job in the NFL. He signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League in May, but was released in June. He was disappointed he did not get an opportunity at an NFL camp this summer. Of the 14 quarterbacks drafted, only Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan, had more career passing yards. Reesing, however, was the shortest of those in this draft class. with how busy he was. Reesing is currently going between Lawrence and Austin and was at the Jayhawks first game versus North Dakota State. "It takes effort to make good grades and do well on the field," Reesing said. "You can't help your size, speed or how far you throw the ball," Reesing said. "The NFL is looking at physical statures and potential." Reesing's emotions were running high, who watched as a fan for the first time. He had to adjust his mindset from player to fan. If Reesing cannot land a job in professional football, he said he hopes to use his finance and economics degree to stay in sports from a business standpoint.

But after their team's victory Monday night, fans' Facebook statuses were consistently filled with excited game updates, and students discussed the game on campus while wearing Chiefs gear proudly. While fans may have no idea how the rest of the season will go for the Chiefs, they have hope that will stand at least until the next game. The same thing will happen here at Kansas. I do not want to say that fans are a fickle bunch, but there is a large group of people who will jump the bandwagon after a victory and hop off a apper on. In my book, this is pretty much unforgivable in sports. Someone recently told me that my game day rituals and yelling at the television does not affect how the team will play. Really? Did you need to crush my dreams of contributing to the 2008 National Championship or 2007 Orange Bowl victory? Okay, I know that all of that is true, but dogs do make a difference. The coaches and athletes always thank the fans and call us the "greatest fans in college sports". At some base level I like to think they enjoy having us up in the stands, hearing our cheers, feeling the hope and love for our college team. So dear readers, think about this the next time you are planning your weekend around whether or not to go to the games. Renew that hope that we start the season and get to the games. Cleer until you lose your voice, don all sorts of Mardi Gras beads and other spirited apparel and proudly wear the awkward tan lines you get from morning games. Give the team a chance. No matter what happens this season, we are still Jayhawks and always will be. That is something to be proud of right there. } — Edited by Michael Bednar 10 (( )) NOTICE CELEBRITWEETS // JIM GAFFIGAN (JIMGAFFIGAN) Jim Gaffigan is a stand-up comedian and actor.

RUPTURE JAMMIE FITNESS Students to compete in 'Strongman' games BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com Need a tow truck? For Skyler Farley, a junior from Lawrence, pulling a truck with his bare hands into a big deal. That's why he'll be at Watson Park on Saturday, participating in the 2nd Annual Next Level Games, which include the "Strongman Challenge," the "Prowler Challenge" and an obstacle course. The competition will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The "Strongman Challenge" involves pulling a truck, flipping a 450-pound tractor tire end-over-end and a "farmer's walk" of hauling heavy items through a course. Farley said he participated in an internship at the University of South Florida during the summer, where he worked out with a group of people training for "strong man" events. Now he incorporates it into his regular workouts, and said it helped him with normal weightlifting. "It's like, 'Oh, I just pushed a truck or I flipped this tire,' Farley "Your time can be completely screwed up if you keep putting your hands in the wrong spot," he said. While he said the truck pull didn't require much attention to mechanics or timing — "it's pure effort" — the tire flips do. said. "Everything seems easier after that." With the technical complexity or simply flipping a tractor tire, it isn't surprising that there are "strong man" classes offered locally. Chris Dellasega, a second-year graduate student from Pittsburg, is a strength coach for Next Level Fitness — the company hosting the competition — and has instructed a "strongman" group. He'll be helping run the event Saturday. He said that it could be difficult to train for a "strongman" event because many weightlifting techniques pinpoint one thing, while tire flips and truck pulls use multiple muscle groups in different ways. To put it differently, flipping a tire is a three-dimensional effort, compared with bench pressing Although the "Strongman Challenge" is the most unusual part of the Next Level Games, the two other stages are designed to give the competition some balance. The "Prowler Challenge" requires competitors to push a weighted sled, similar to what a football team uses for practice, and an obstacle course that focuses on agility.

The rowdy group now has two strong releases, a growing local fan base and an upcoming tour. They're the only local act in the upcoming music festival, Garagefest, and they'll play at the CMJ music festival in October in New York City. But, despite their increasing popularity, Campbell says the band members try not to take themselves too seriously. They're working hard to finish their second full-length album due out next year, but Campbell says the band's favorite part of recording songs and touring isn't always the work — it's also the fun of meeting new people along the way. To catch Rooftop Vigilantes for free at Garagefest, which takes place in downtown "All we really want to do is have fun, play good shows and play loud rock music," Campbell says.

In October of 2009 Pisano and Moen rented a house in Saint Paul, Minn. and created a performing arts show that traveled from room to room and showcased songs written by Moen. THOMAS CALVIN & BENNETT KEANEY Almost one year later, the act has transformed into the band Peter Wolf Crier. The duo, who will be performing at The Granada Sept. 19, recorded, produced and self-released their first album, Inter-Be, before it was re-released by Ripple Entertainment, LLC. Lawrence is the second stop of the band's three-week, 16-day tour across the country. The band tours by minivan, a choice that Pisano says is to keep things small and economical. This isn't Pisano or Moen's first tour and Pisano says it's a crazy experience.

INHELLMEGAMIXXX3 √ (GOLD DUST) EL-P VENNAIGO13THMAILER.ELPOPRINTS.COM El-P is the extremely well respected co-founder, CEO, and owner of Definitive Jux records who recently released a solo instrumental mixtape off of Gold Dust records. "Wearealgoing..." is simply a masters class in production that spans a wide range of styles including crunchy dubstep to spacey trance. This album showcases it all. El-P is possibly one of the most credible and experienced producers around after working with and producing records for names like Aesop Rock, Murs, Del the Funkee Homosapien, Atmosphere, Beck, Rage Against the Machine, and even The Mars Volta. Even with all of the variety, the album doesn't have any disappointing songs mixed in to kill the vibe. The album can be listened to without wanting to skip any tracks or put a kink in your flow when dancing along. One of the sickest songs is "Honda Redux," which includes a hard-hitting bass line and lots of laser-esque sounds to get your head shaking. "Drunk With A Loaded Pistol," freaks you out at the beginning with its minor chords and creepy howling sounds, but builds into a legitimate winner by the very end. However, don't ignore the other tracks because all listeners, both experienced and inexperienced in electronic music, will be able to hear something they never have before.

Robert Rodriguez's latest ultraviolet opus is everything we've come to expect from the journeyman director. But the real find here is veteran character actor Danny Trejo, whose Machete character represents his first starring role after nearly three decades in the film business. Blink and you'll miss the razor-thin plot, which follows the trail of carnage laid out by a vengeful federale known only as Machete. After his wife and daughter are killed by notorious drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal), our hero is forced over the border into Texas, where he works as a common day laborer before being approached by a slick-talking stranger named Mr. Booth (Jeff Fahey). Booth offers Machete a fortune to assassinate Senator McLaughlin (Robert De Niro), an anti-immigrant hardliner who funds a murderous group of border patrolmen led by professional sadist Lt. Stillman (Don Johnson from "Miami Vice"). When the job is revealed to be a double-cross, Machete escapes and vows to hunt down the men who left him for dead. Although "Machete" fails as an abject political satire, it benefits mightily from the talent of its eclectic supporting cast. At the end of the day, "Machete" belongs to Danny Trejo. The real life ex-con and former drug addict turned gangland rehabilitator doesn't need any make-up or prosthetics to embody the role of the pockmarked avenger. So take note, Hollywood. This is what a real action hero looks like.

SUFFRANCY JROLLING FITNESS Students to compete in 'Strongman' games BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com "It's like, 'Oh, I just pushed a truck or I flipped this tire,' Farley That's why he'll be at Watson Park on Saturday, participating in the 2nd Annual Next Level Games, which include the "Strongman Challenge," the "Prowler Challenge" and an obstacle course. The competition will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Need a tow truck? For Skyler Farley, a junior from Lawrence, pulling a truck with his bare hands just a big deal. The "Strongman Challenge" involves pulling a truck, flipping a 450-pound tractor tire end-overend and a "farmer's walk" of hauling heavy items through a course. Farley said he participated in an internship at the University of South Florida during the summer, where he worked out with a group of people training for "strong man" events. Now he incorporates it into his regular workouts, and said it helped him with normal weightlifting. "Your time can be completely screwed up if you keep putting your hands in the wrong spot," he said. With the technical complexity of simply flipping a tractor tire, it isn't surprising that there are "strong man" classes offered locally. said. "Everything seems easier after that." Chris Dellasega, a second-year graduate student from Pittsburg, is a strength coach for Next Level Fitness — the company hosting the competition — and has instructed a "strongman" group. He'll be helping run the event Saturday. While he said the truck pull didn't require much attention to mechanics or timing — "it's pure effort" — the tire flip does. He said that it could be difficult to train for a "strongman" event because many weightlifting techniques pinpoint one thing, while tire flips and truck pulls use multiple muscle groups in different ways. To put it differently, flipping a tire is a three-dimensional effort, compared with bench pressing Although the "Strongman Challenge" is the most unusual part of the Next Level Games, the two other stages are designed to give the competition some balance. The "Prowler Challenge" requires competitors to push a weighted sled, similar to what a football team uses for practice, and an obstacle course that focuses on agility. something up and down. "One of the best ways of getting good at flipping a tractor tire is to flip a tractor tire," he said.

Edited by Tim Dwyer FOOTBALL Reesing's book offers inside look BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com Thousands of fans attend football games on Saturdays. Few, however, know what the game's like on the other side of the stands. Former Jayhawk quarterback Todd Reesing gives readers a peek into life as a Kansas football player in his new book "Rising to New Heights." The first chapter of the book covers Kansas' 2008 Orange Bowl win. Reesing vividly describes the day, as if he was writing moments after the final whistle blew. "It's a lot of insight," Reesing said. "I talk about what players think during a game." "It's a big part of our lives, so it really sticks with you," Reesing said. Reeing started working with co-author, Kent Pulliam, and the two finished the first draft in about two months. Bob Snodgrass, CEO and publisher of Ascend Books, approached Reesing in the spring to write the book. Reesing said the book "came out of nowhere." About three months later Reesing and Pulliam started meeting. Reesing said it went surprisingly fast. A lot of the detail Reesing glves is based on his memory. He did not review game film, but he did double check box scores and the play-by-play for accuracy purposes. Reesing did not write much about former coach Mark Mangino. Reesing said that the events took place during two games out of a four-year career. He briefly touches on how the team was affected by the Mangino investigation. The book gave Reesing an opportunity to talk about the highs of the 2007 season and the lows of 2009. In the forward of the book, former Kansas All-American quarterback John Hadl said, "Todd is probably the greatest quarterback we have ever had at Kansas." "I have nothing negative to say," Reesing said. "He was the only one to give me a chance." Reeing took every advantage of that opportunity. He was humbled by the praise he received from professors. Finance professor Lisa Bergeron, who Reesing was a TA for, spoke very highly of Reesing. In the book she said Reesing did a good job balancing everything, even Reeing did not just perform on the field; he also excelled in the classroom. Reesing's effort on the field was not enough to land him a job in the NFL. He signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League in May, but was released in June. He was disappointed he did not get an opportunity at an NFL camp this summer. Of the 14 quarterbacks drafted, only Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan, had more career passing yards. Reesing, however, was the shortest of those in this draft class. Reeing is currently going between Lawrence and Austin and was at the Jayhawks first game versus North Dakota State. with how busy he was. "It itks effort to make good grades and do well on the field," Reesing said. "You can't help your size, speed or how far you throw the ball," Reesing said. "The NFL is looking at physical statures and potential." Reesing's emotions were running high, who watched as a fan for the first time. He had to adjust his mindset from player to fan. If Reesing cannot land a job in professional football, he said the hopes to use his finance and economics degree to stay in sports from a business standpoint.

Reesing's new book details what players thinking about during a game. piled into Arrowhead hoping for something great to happen so they could once again start their love-hate relationship with the team. But after their teams' victory Monday night, fans' Facebook statuses were consistently filled with excited game updates, and students discussed the game on campus while wearing Chiefs gear proudly. While fans may have no idea how the rest of the season will go for the Chiefs, they have hope that will stand at least until the next game. The same thing will happen here at Kansas. I do not want to say that fans are a fickle bunch, but there is a large group of people who will jump the bandwagon after a victory and hop off after a loss. In my book, this is pretty much unforgivable in sports. Someone recently told me that my game day rituals and yelling at the television does not affect how the team will play. Really? Did you need to crush my dreams of contributing to the 2008 National Championship or 2007 Orange Bowl victory? Okay, I know that all of that is true, but fans do make a difference. The coaches and athletes always thank the fans and call us the "greatest fans in college sports". At some base level I like to think they enjoy having us up in the stands, hearing our cheers, feeling the hope and love for our college team. So dear readers, think about this the next time you are planning your weekend around whether or not to go to the games. Renew that hope that we start the season with and get to the games. Cheer until you lose your voice, don all sorts of Mardi Gras beads and other spirited apparel and proudly wear the awkward tan lines you get from morning games. Give the team a chance. No matter what happens this season, we are still Jayhawks and always will be. That is something to be proud of right there. 1 Edited by Michael Bednar } 1 THE STUDENT VOICE SINCE 1904 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2010 ADMINISTRATION Chancellor discusses athletics with board BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com The Kansas Board of Regents applauded Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little's handling of numerous athletics department issues when she presented them with an update Thursday.

Distance learning program adjusted The Board of Regents adjusted the current definition of the state's distance education program to "one in which the proportion of content delivered via distance learning is 50 percent or more." Previously, that definition required a curriculum comprised entirely of distance education courses. — Stephen Montemayor NATIONAL Distraught man kills mother,self ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE — A man who became distraught as he was being briefed on his mother's condition by a surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital pulled a gun and shot the doctor Thursday, then killed his mother and himself in her room at the world-famous medical center, police said. The doctor, who was wounded in the abdomen, was expected to survive. The gunman, 50-year-old Paul Warren Pardus, had been listening to the surgeon around midday when he "became emotionally distraught and reacted ... and was overwhelmed by the news of his mother's condition." Police Commissioner Frederick H. Boyd will be Pardus then holed up in the room in a more than two-hour standoff that led authorities to lock down a small section of the Nelson Building while allowing the rest of the sprawling red-brick medical complex — a cluster of hospital, research and education buildings — to remain open. H. Bealefeld III said. When officers made their way to the room, they found Pardus and his mother shot to death, he on the floor, she in her bed. Parduspulled a semiautomatic gun from his waistband and shot the doctor once, the commissioner said. The doctor, identified by colleagues as orthopedic surgeon David B. Cohen, collapsed outside the eighth-floor room where Pardus' mother, Jean Davis, was being treated. Bealefield said he did not know what the woman was being treated for at Hopkins, a world-class institution widely known for its cancer research and treatment. It is part of Johns Hopkins University, which has one of the foremost medical schools in the world. Michelle Burrell, who "The doctor will be OK. He's in the best place in the world Johns Hopkins Hospital." ANTHONY GUGLIELMI Police spokesman Pardus was from Arlington, Va., and had a handgun permit in that state, police said. The gunman was initially identified as Warren Davis, but police later said that was an alias. The wounded doctor, an assistant professor at the medical school, underwent surgery. "The doctor will be OK," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. "He's in the best place in the world — at Johns Hopkins Hospital." doctor was shot that the gunman was angry with the doctor's treatment of his mother. "It's crazy" she said. where the As the standoff dragged on, people with appointments in other parts of the hospital were encouraged to keep them. With more than 30,000 employees, the Johns Hopkins medical system is Baltimore's biggest private employer. The hospital has more than 1,000 beds and more than 1,700 full-time doctors. Hopkins said it informed its employees about the gunman in an e-mail at 11:30 a.m., about a half-hour after the doctor was shot. They were told to remain in their offices or rooms with the doors locked and to stay away from the windows. At 1:30 p.m., another e-mail went out advising employees that police "are in control of the situation." The Nelson Building is the main hospital tower. The eighth floor is home to orthopedic, spine, trauma and thoracic services.

Edited by Lisa Curran REGENTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) five to six members by the end of this week. Most of Gray-Little's presentation, however, concerned steps taken to increase transparency of Kansas Athletics. She hired a forensic auditor to focus not just on what is being spent, but the reasoning behind the spending. Brenda Muirhead, previously with Legislative Post Audit, will report to the University of Kansas' director of internal audit, Don Holland Jr. Gray-Little discussed changes to Kansas Athletics' Board of Directors. She removed the athletics director as the head of the board in August and said the board's bylaws would be permanently amended to reflect this change. Gray-Little's report indicated that board membership is being looked at, too. She said the University was considering adding members from outside the college, something the regents have pushed for. "Outside eyes and outside perspectives are healthy." Scherrer said. "She said she's considering this. I urged her to do so because I think it's important." The report said the University reserved the right to pursue civil litigation against those involved in the tickets scandal uncovered in May. Two former employees, Brandon Simmons and Jason Jeffries, have so far pleaded guilty. Last week, the two requested and received delays in sentencing by the U.S. District Court in Wichita in order to help prosecutors build cases against others involved in the scandal. A. Drue Jennings served as interim athletics director and joined then-Chancellor Robert Hemenway on a two-person search committee that eventually chose Lew Perkins. "Outside eyes and perspectives are healthy." Jennings, who also led the search committee that selected Gray-Little as chancellor, said he had not been contacted by the University to join its latest committee. Jennings, however, said he would love to help. Though he described Perkins as exceptional is his fundraising ability and overall presence. FORMER INTERIM AD, REGENTS CHAIR WEIGHS IN ON SEARCH In response to the scandal, the University changed its points system for seating at athletic events. Purchasers can now see how many points occupants of other seats have. "Of course," Jennings said when asked if he would accept an invite. "I would serve the University in any way I can." GARY SCHERRER Board of Regents, chairman Jennings said Jennings said he expects a much different personality being chosen. "Some of these issues such as the tickets matter and questions that have arisen suggest someone relatively squeaky clean and willing to forego any appearance of impropriety being good for the position." Jennings called someone with a lower profile being the "change everyone is eager for." He said he expected midwestern roots to play a factor in the search, but not to be the sole condition for landing the job. Scherrier said it would be odd to construct candidates before the search even begins. "It's silly saying he or she should be from here or he or she should do that," Scherrer said. "It's best to find an athletics director with talent, management skills and one that knows the culture of the University well." Edited by Abby Davenport DESIGN(CONTINUED FROM 1A) "You never really know what you're going to go into at work," Jones said. "That's kind of exciting about it." Jones is one of 12 architecture and engineering students who work for design and construction management, the University department responsible for many of the remodeling and renovation projects across campus. The image shows a classroom with a large window and a ceiling fan. In the foreground, there is a desk with a printer on top of it. The room has white walls and a clock mounted on one wall. There are also framed pictures on the wall. The department has designed window replacements for Marvin Hall and the remodeled fourth floor of Anschutz Library. Students contribute regardless of the size or cost of the project. Chris Neal/KANSAN This room in Lippincott was renovated in December of 2008 for the Indigenous Nations Studies. The project was designed by KU architecture students. "It's an opportunity for these students to get out of the classroom and do real world projects," said Wayne Pearse, director of building services. Students work with full-time licensed professionals and have multiple responsibilities depending on their skill level. Students generally assist in a project's design, cost estimates and building code research. "It's a great job on campus," said Mark Reiske, associate director of design and construction management. "Students that just go to school don't do a lot of code research. They do very little estimating. All of our students get to do some of that." The student employees are affordable for the University. Reiske said students started out making $8 an hour; full-time designers would cost more than twice as much, plus benefits. Janet Getz, an alumnus from Florissant, Mo., started working full time for design and construction management after graduating in May. She worked with them for two years and said she was excited to now be a full-time employee. "I'm definitely very lucky", Getz said. "It's preparing me very well to continue on so that I can hopefully someday become licensed." — Edited by Sean Tokarz CAMPUS 'Ties also helps students BY CARLO RAMIREZ editor@kansan.com Natural Ties is an organization that gives volunteer students just as much they give. Every Wednesday, at a different location, Natural Ties holds an event to meet with its Lawrence "ties" to eat, laugh and enjoy one another's company. "It shows people they are just like us," said Erin Atwood, a junior from Topeka and Natural Ties coordinator. "It is also a great social outlet for the ties to get to know other ties." Natural Ties is a community service organization run by students with assistance from the KU Center for Community Outreach. The organization was founded in 1988 to serve people in Lawrence who have special needs. Specifically, Natural Ties pairs Lawrence residents who have developmental disabilities with KU students for weekly social activities. The special needs adults who attend the events are the "ties" and the volunteers are Each volunteer is paired with a tie and builds relationships with him or her while they volunteer. Atwood has had her tie, Sam, since her freshman year. Atwood and other volunteers often take their ties to dinner before Wednesday's social event to catch up on the past week. Atwood meets with Sam once a month in addition to their weekly meeting. The experience of getting to know their ties so well has given many volunteers a valuable new perspective on life. Tyler Setter, a junior from Overland Park, social chair member and Natural Tie Coordinator credits his first tie, J.T. Turnball, who died during his freshman year, with helping him in his transition from a high school senior to a freshman in college. The loss was emotional for Setter, but Turnball taught him life lessons during their Natural Ties experience. "Every time I went to pick him up for dinner, he always had a big smile on his face that would cheer me up." Setter said. "I learned that there is no point to have a negative outlook on life and always have a positive perspective." His bond with Turnball gave Setter the inspiration to continue with Natural Ties. "After he died, I knew I wanted to get even more involved." Setter said. As for the ties, the opportunity to make a friend is a chance they can't wait to take. "I was part of Best Buddies, and heard about this great program and decided to go for it," said Cole Brown, a two-year Natural Tie member from Lawrence. Brown also went to the ice cream social held a week ago. He has plenty to look forward to with a Halloween dance and prom in the near future. Natural Ties invites anyone interested in volunteering to contact them at ntiesku@gmail.com. LEGISLATION Edited by Lisa Curran NYC to boost smoking ban ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — New York City is pursuing a tough new policy that would shoo smokers out of public parks, beaches and even the heart of Times Square — one of the most ambitious outdoor anti-tobacco efforts in the nation. Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration and city lawmakers announced Wednesday that they will pursue a broad extension of the city's smoking ban to 1,700 parks and 14 miles of public beaches, plus boardwalks, marinas and pedestrian plazas. That would mean no smoking in Central Park, no lighting up on the Coney Island boardwalk and putting the cigarettes away if you're lounging on the traffic-free pedestrian plazas in Times Square and Herald Square. "When New Yorkers and visitors to our city go to the parks and beaches for fresh air, there will actually be fresh air for them to breathe," Bloomberg said at a City Hall news conference. States and cities from Maine to California have banned smoking in public parks and beaches, but New York is pursuing an especially wide-reaching urban ban. While hundreds of municipalities have outdoor no-smoking laws, the largest city in the nation is seeking to force thousands of acres of parkland as well as some busy city blocks to go smoke-free. By including pedestrian plazas, the Bloomberg administration is venturing into territory most antitobacco bans leave alone: smoking on the street. The boundaries of the plazas, in most cases, are sidewalks, bike lanes and street corners. If the law passes, it would be easy for a smoker to drift from the sidewalk, where smoking is still allowed, into a plaza, where it is not, without realizing. Lawmakers said the goal is to keep people from smoking inside the plazas, not to trick smokers into getting ticketed. "The point of this bill isn't Gotcha," said City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. "Our goal is not to get a gentleman or a lady who's walking across the street." The city banned smoking in bars and restaurants in 2003. Smokers, long accustomed to being told they are not welcome, shrugged off the news of a possible outdoor ban Wednesday. Gene Buelow, who stopped for a smoke in a Times Square pedestrian plaza, said it "wouldn't bother me a bit." GRAND RE-OPENING! $5.99 LARGE 1 topping pizzas this weekend!

MOVIES Nicholas Sambaluk ASSOCIATED PRESS Another hit for Eastwood TORONTO — Judging by the reaction to him at Toronto's Elgin Theatre on Sunday night, Clint Eastwood can still muster a lot of love. There was a standing ovation when he came out to introduce his new film, "Hereafter," and the kind of murmurs through the crowd reserved for rock stars and world leaders. Yet in recent years, the response Eastwood has received from awards voters — those arbiter of taste, for better or worse, in modern Hollywood — has been less enthusiastic. After three movies that landed best-picture nominations in a span of four years ("Mystic River," Million Dollar Baby" and "Letters from Iwo Jima") Eastwood has gone colder than the hands around Scorpios gun. His last three movies — "Changeling," "Gran Torino" and "Invictus" — each had clear awards potential. And yet apart from a few acting nominations and two technical nominations, Oscar acclaim has eluded the icon. No director nominations for Eastwood on any of the three films; no best picture nominations either. Eastwood's most recent effort, the Nelson Mandela-centered sports movie "Invictus," was a particular disappointment on that front. Although not a unanimous reviewer favorite, the film contained political subject matter, an inspirational story, historical and period flourishes and a larger-than-life central character. Its omission from the Oscar best-picture last year, when the academy had the luxury of 10 selections, might have stung even a more awards-agnostic filmmaker. The film that could break Eastwood's cold streak this year comes in the form of "Hereafter," a spiritual / supernatural triptych starring Matt Damon. Those looking for blazingly original subject matter may not be entirely satisfied with three afterlife-related story strands that, inevitably, come together at the end, in the manner of an Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu film or a host of inde drama from the last decade or so. And with its sometimes gauzy exploration of the topic of the afterlife, the movie leaves itself open to the criticism of pseudo-depth that seemingly comes whenever Hollywood tackles spiritual subjects. But there is a quiet drama and pacing in "Hereafter" that could appeal to reviewers and the academy's base. More important, there is a stretching of subject matter and genre, even by the standards of the already-elastic Eastwood. The academy likes to give what are essentially lifetime achievement awards (e.g., Martin Scorsese's 2006 wins for "The Departed") to reward an icon for doing something particularly well for so long. With Eastwood, it sometimes seems moved for a very different reason: to reward an icon for doing so many different things for so long. If that's the criteria, "Hereafter" stands an excellent chance this season. Eastwood's moral preoccupations are often similar from movie to movie, but his backdrops and genres are radically different. The film is a departure even by those standards. Eastwood has, in recent years, shown a remarkable consistency at the box office. In the last six years, every one of his movies (aside from "Letters from two Jima") grossed almost exactly the same amount, between $33 million and $37 million. (The one exception was "Gran Torino", his most successful movie as either an actor or a director, when he caught lightning in a bottle and grossed a whopping $148 million.) 10 2 9 3 8 4 7 5 Quintiles has a study with a 16 night clinical stay.

The other major component of the two-pronged release slated for Oct. 19 is "Bob Dylan — The Original Mono Recordings," consisting of the monaural mixes of his first eight studio albums, from "Bob Dylan" through 1967's "John Wesley Harding." Recordings known as "The Witmark Demos," recorded from 1962-64 for Dylan's first two music publishers, will make up Volume 9 in the ongoing "Bootleg Series" The mono box set, akin to "The Beatles in Mono" released last year, is being issued because those early albums were originally intended by Dylan to be released in that format, which was the dominant medium at a time when stereo recording was still young. of archival releases. They feature Dylan alone playing guitar and harmonica, and some piano, on such watershed songs as "Blowin' in the Wind," "The Times They Are A-Changin", "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" and "Mr. Tambourine Man" as well as 15 numbers that never subsequently surfaced on his studio albums, including "Ballad for a Friend," "Long Ago, Far Away" and "The Ballad of Emmett Till."

Millions of Americans suffer from mental illness. Chances are, if you haven't personally experienced the debilitating psychological and physical pain of severe depression, the most common of these illnesses, affecting one in four adults sometime in their life, one of your best friends has. Or one of your neighbors. Or one of your family members. Despite the prevalence of major depressive disorder, there remains a societal stigma against talking openly about this and other forms of mental illness, which in the media and everyday life of this country is rarely equated to purely physical illness. This is a deadly shame. By pushing depression and other mental illnesses further out of the collective conversation on this campus, we are further isolating the men and women — our friends, classmates, teachers, loved ones S That is why,when members of our newsroom received Editor's Notes BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com information that a member of our campus community had likely tragically died by suicide, I led the decision to include that information in our obituary. This possible victim of suicide was not just a statistic to us or anyone who knew her. She was Janet Hamburg, an internationally recognized professor of dance and a "loving, generous, accomplished, and remarkable spirit," according to a friend. As journalists, the editors and reporters — myself included — weighed the decision to include unconfirmed information from a New York City detective that the cause of death was suicide very carefully. We also debated as to whether to include medical information about Hamburg's partner, director of University Communications Lynn Bretz In the end, we decided it was more valuable to our readers to include it and I encouraged my team to write the obituary with the most important information first — the information about Ms. Hamburg's accomplished life, not her death. I am proud of the work they did and, while I do hope as a person that the article or any like it we may have published did not cause any more pain for any grieving loved ones, as a journalist I feel strongly that we did the right thing. This is largely because I did not make this decision simply as a journalist. I made it as a survivor. I have struggled with depression for most of my life. A few years ago, I, too, nearly lost that struggle. Thankfully, I was able to find help and greatly improved with time. I have not experienced nearly the amount of pain as some who have lost, but still, my heart goes out to family and friends of suicide victims in a very personal way. As a journalist and as a family member of a suicide victim, I believe, as do many therapists, activists and loved ones of suicide victims I've spoken with, that we cannot help the problem without taking down the stigma. To discuss these issues openly is to provide information and empowerment against them; only light can drive out darkness. And neither should the men and women living with mental illness in our community be defined solely by their personal, often secret struggles. They — we — should be treated with the respect we owe them as our friends and neighbors. I invite you to join the conversation. Please send me any thoughts you may have on the Kansan's coverage or on how we can perhaps become a model for a change in our community, a fight against darkness.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Story reported insensitively I read in the UDK today the story regarding the death of Janet Hamburg. I am writing to you because of the insensitive nature of your reporting. The reporter included information about Professor Hamburg's death that was obtained from a New York City detective. The detective said that Professor Hamburg jumped from a building. And then the reporter chose to disclose that Professor Hamburg's partner, Lynn Bretz, was on medical leave for cancer. I believe that the manner in which this article was written was extremely insensitive and intrusive. I have experience with this type of reporting; in 2004, my husband died by suicide after jumping from a downtown parking garage. Our very private, horrible loss became a story in the UDK and a front page story in the Lawrence Journal-World. In fact, his suicide was reported in the online edition, before I had a chance to tell our two school-aged children. His cause of death was also included in his obituary. Needless to say, the way that the Lawrence Journal- World treated his death as a 'breaking news' story felt sensational and insensitive. I can only imagine how Professor Hamburg's family and colleagues feel right now. Including information about her partner, Lynn Bretz, and her health issues implies that somehow the health issue contributed to Professor Hamburg's decision to end her life, if indeed she did end her life. I am certain that Professor Hamburg's family should have been notified and even asked if this information was to be shared with the KU campus. I also believe that Lynn Bretz should have been asked if her medical condition could be disclosed. I understand that Professor Hamburg worked with a number of students and colleagues. Her death is a huge loss to the KU and Lawrence community. However, the University Daily Kansan missed an opportunity to highlight her many contributions rather than a sensational story about her suicide. What Lynn Bretz and Janet Hamburg's family and friends need right now is support, not speculation and intrigue about a very private experience. My hope is that the UDK will do something positive with this story, but only after getting the permission from Janet Hamburg's family and Lynn Bretz. As a KU student, I was embarrassed to read this example of 'yellow journalism' in my student newspaper. — Rose Eiesland Foster is a graduate student. STUDENT LIFE Animals teach students lessons I chose to forgo a certain aspect of the college experience because I couldn't bring some of my belongings to the dorms. Until recently, I was unaware that in fact about a dozen colleges in the country would have allowed those same aforementioned belongings. I like to call my belongings Mia and Kitty. Kitty isn't the most innovative name I could have chosen but I was only 10 years old when I got her. Recently, a university in Florida joined the dozen or so other universities that allow dogs, cats and small caged animals into the dormitories. Officials with those universities say that the purpose of allowing the animals in the dorms is to make the transition to living alone easier while still enabling a student to experience dorm life. Not so Angelic What is being left out of these discussions, though, are the other ways that pets can benefit the lives and experiences of the students if allowed in the dorms. Not only do companions from home offer comfort and familiarity, they also teach responsibility, commitment and sacrifice. Our university offers many services in terms of educating students about finances and personal responsibility. Owing animals provides experience in both of those categories. Paying for two four-legged friends isn't cheap. Pet owners have to manage and budget their money according to the needs of the animals they care for. Owners must factor in the cost of vet bills, food and unexpected animal-at-large tickets when said friend possibly escapes from her confines. The main reason I didn't live in the dorms is because I wouldn't have been able to bring them along and had no one to take care of them. Those animals have been my responsibility since I got them and it would have been unfair and inhumane to take them to a shelter because they didn't fit into my plans or the experiences I wanted Commitment can also be garnered from the experience of owning an animal. I've had my cat since I was 10 years old and BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON and her husband my dog Mia since I was 17. But having to leave an animal behind while we embark on own is an even greater sacrifice. According to the Humane Society of the United States four millions dogs and cats are euthanized a year. It can be a sacrifice having animals though. I can only live in places that allow both dogs and cats and because of my dog's breed, I've also encountered many restrictions and landlords that bluntly state "No pit bulls here." I would have chosen the dorms if Mia and Kitty could have been my roommates because over 10 years later, those two are the only roommates I've been able to get along with. While it doesn't specify how many animals that are brought in by their owners are euthanized, if more dormitories allowed the furry companions as roommates, that numbered could be lowered.

CRIME Court date set for August rape case Lawrence man to appear before court in October to schedule hearing BY GARTH SEARS qsears@kansan.com Sexual assault has already entered the campus discussion this year, and local resources are fighting to inform the public and help anyone who needs it. According to a Lawrence Police Department report, a female University of Kansas student fell asleep the night of Aug. 20 in the Delta Chi fraternity house, 1245 West Campus Rd., and then an 18-year-old Lawrence man sexually assaulted her. The suspect was charged with rape and aggravated sexual battery Aug. 23. The suspect's lawyer did not return calls. The suspect is out of jail. His next court appearance will be Oct. 12 at 9:30 a.m. to schedule a preliminary hearing, according to Cheryl Wright, assistant to the Douglas County District Attorney. Mariel Dryton, a sophomore from Leawood, was there the night of the alleged assault. She said there was a party and most people seemed to be having fun, and there weren't indications that anything was wrong. She said that an arrest made in a fraternity shouldn't represent the fraternity or Greek life poorly in general, because it paints one person's mistakes on the group they belong to. "I think it was a bad choice by a single person," she said. "It doesn't reflect the Greek system at all." The international Delta Chi fraternity is conducting an investigation into its University of Kansas chapter, according to an Aug. 24 statement. "The Kansas Chapter and its members have continued to fully cooperate with the local authorities in their investigation," Karl Grindel, assistant executive director for Delta Chi, wrote in an email. "Since there is currently an ongoing criminal investigation, Delta Chi will conclude its review once the criminal justice system has taken its course."

GETTING HELP "I think it was a bad choice by a single person. It doesn't reflect on the Greek system at all." Eli Underwood, the president of the University's Delta Chi chapter, did not return calls. According to a recent U.S. Department of Justice study, a quarter of college women will be the victim of rape or attempted rape before they graduate. MARIEL DRYTON Leawood sophomore The Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center has programs designed to help those in need or information, advice, or empowerment. Kathy Rose- Mockry, program director of the resource center, said one of the key services the center offers to victims of rape is providing a one-stop connection with counseling, legal, or other kinds of help. "We can cut through some of the red tape by connecting students," Rose-Mockry said, "instead of them having to go place to place, and having to relive the event again and again." She said the center doesn't only help victims of rape or harassment, but also those around them. For example, she pointed out the importance of a victim's friend being knowledgeable, because they are often the place a victim will turn to for help. The center distributes a handout for such a friend about supporting victims, including information about common reactions a victim might have and phone numbers to call. The GaDuGi SafeCenter provides 24-hour support for victims of sexual crimes in Douglas County, and an advocate can be paged at any time by calling 785-841-2345. Rose-Mockry also encouraged those who need it to contact the University's psychological and counseling services for help. Both GaDuGi and the University's women's resource center promote local events that raise awareness of sexual crimes and promote empowerment. Edited by Abby Davenport CLUBS New judo coach brings stability BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com "The club had three strikes against it and was at risk of being disbanded," said Logan Englert a senior from Topeka and KU Judo Club vice president. "We managed to put it back down to two strikes but we had to make sure that we didn't mess up." It takes a certain type of person to get beaten up a couple times a week — at least, that's what members of the KU Judo Club say. Three times a week members meet to test their physical and mental toughness by using throws, submissions and pins. Yet less than a year ago the club was facing a different sort of challenge — an administrative challenge. The KU Judo Club was suffering from the departure of their internationally-renowned head coach, Akitoshi Sogabe. Without a coach, the group lacked stability "Before we had three to four people teaching," Englert said. "They each would teach us their own theory and it didn't allow us to get better as a group." Nationals champion had practiced with the club before, obligations for his master's program had prevented him from taking on a leadership position. "He's always been around," Sam Hosfelt, a senior from Topeka and president of the Judo Club, said. "When he came to practice he and the coach would sit in front of the entire class because they were in equal skill level and status." Extra free time eventually led Kalami to volunteer for the coaching position. His presence with the club gives members consistency, something they have lacked since the departure of their old coach. "He's there every single practice," Hosfelt said. "At practices we're able to do the same drills, do actual judo moves and it lets us improve our skills. That's the sort of thing that brings people back." The club is looking to obtain new members and would like to eventually compete in tournaments "Judo is a tough sport. But we have a whole mixture of people of different sizes and athletic ability." The club received a much needed boost this semester by appointing Hossein Kalami, a graduate student from Norman, Okla., as its new coach. While the Judo Grand HOSSEIN KALAMI Judo coach with other Judo clubs "Judo is a tough sport," Kalami said. "But we have a whole mixture of people of different sizes and athletic ability."

Someone in a blue-green minivan drove up to the fenced yard where the goats are kept and fired three shots from a small-caliber pistol, hitting the animal once in the abdomen and once through a nasal passage. Maria's owners, one of whom is an emergency medical technician, tried for more than an hour to care for the dying goat. SANTA FE, N.M. — Police in Santa Fe are searching for the suspect or suspects in a drive-by shooting that killed a pet goat. "The fact that this was a goat getting killed is bad enough," Santa Fe Police Chief Aric Wheeler said, "But this is also a drive-by shooting of a home in the middle of the city. That's a major concern for us." Wheeler told the Santa Fe New Mexican that the suspect could face felony charges of animal cruelty, shooting at an occupied building and negligent firearm use. The goat was one of three owned by two women who live in the home. They also have 12 chickens,four cats,a dog and a duck, most of them rescue animals. The owners, who didn't want to be identified, and neighbors said the goats were a local fixture that drew adults and children alike to the yard.

"It wasn't a good feeling," he said, "For it to happen the other way, it just makes it that much better." One player who remembers that day all too well is junior wide receiver Davonmond Patterson. As the clock wound down on Saturday's upset of then-No. 15 Georgia Tech, Daymond Patterson was recognized by fans as a hero of the game as they rushed to him. Just as true freshman James Simms did in the same game, Patterson established himself as a go-to guy for coach Turner for coach Turner Gill. This is the same Patterson who spent last season and the second half of his freshman season at cornerback, Former coach Mark Mangino decid "It's the position I've wanted to play since I got here," he said. "I finally got my chance to move back, and I'm having probably the most fun I've had since I've been here." his natural position. Wide receiver is where Patterson has done his best work. In his junior and senior years of high school in Mesquite, Texas, Patterson racked up 1,319 receiving yards, 109 catches and 16 touchdowns. Patterson is looking to return to his Friday night lights form in tonight's game at Southern Mississippi. He has already left an impression on his opponents this season. "No. 15 made some unbelievable plays," said Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson after Saturday's game. "I'm having probably the most fun I've had since I've been here." Against Georgia Tech, Patterson gained 85 yards on seven receptions ed Patterson was best fit for the defensive position, but Patterson has proved through two games that wide reciever is where he belongs. Patterson understands his opportunity and is grateful to be back in DAYMOND PATTERSON Junior wide receiver and scored the game-winning touchdown. Playing along side senior Jonathon Wilson and sophomore Bradley McDougald, Patterson is part of an aerial assault expected to be one of the best receiving corps in the Big 12.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Southern Miss WR heeds harsh words ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, Miss. — Southern Miss receiver DeAndre Brown got the message. Tired of Brown's prima donna ways, Southern Miss coach Larry Fedora used the uncharacteristic tactic of publicly blasting Brown during a press conference last week, citing a lack of consistent effort. Brown says he didn't read any newspapers or websites in the aftermath, but word travels fast in Hattiesburg. With his ears still ringing, the 6-foot-6, 239-pound junior said he's out to prove his critics wrong when Southern Miss (1-1) hosts Kansas (1-1) on Friday at Roberts Stadium. "It stung and it leaves me with a chip on my shoulder," Brown said. "It kind of angered me, but now I'm just taking it upon myself to change some things and become that complete receiver" Brown said the Golden Eagles' offense was out of sync the entire game. It's the Golden Eagles' second chance to knock off a team from a BCS conference this season. South Carolina beat Southern Miss 41-13 on Sept. 2. USM has a nine-game home winning streak dating back to 2008. Kansas is trying to build on its stunning 28-25 upset victory over then No.15 Georgia Tech last weekend. That win snapped an eight-game losing streak dating back to last season. "I don't want to say we didn't give our best effort, because everyone was trying." Brown said. "But we just didn't bring out the"A game that day. The last few weeks we've been grinding and trying to get better. We want to prove that Iayhawks coach Turner Gill said his defense will certainly have its eyes on Brown, who is considered one of the nation's best receivers despite playing in the relative obscurity of Conference USA. Through two games, Brown has caught nine passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns. Fedora's criticism of Brown came a few days after USM's loss to South Carolina. During the game, Brown was openly feuding with coaches and pouting on the sidelines. He finished with four catches for 65 yards and a touchdown, but all of that production came in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of hand. "He's somebody we have to limit," Gill said. "We're not going to shut him down, but we do have to limit his big plays." game was just a fluke." Fedora said Brown was much improved during Saturday's easy 34-7 victory over Prairie View, even if the performance came against an obviously inferior opponent that didn't have the size or speed to defend him. The biggest improvement was consistency and effort. "He played harder, made plays, was blocking and getting after people," Fedora said. "He played the game the way he can play the game." Though a better Brown would certainly improve the Golden Eagles' chances of winning, the defense has to do its part after looking shaky against South Carolina. Kansas had a terrible game on offense in its season opener, scoring just three points in a loss to North Dakota State. But Gill made several changes before the Georgia Tech upset, inserting a new quarterback and starting running back, and the Jayhawks received much better results. Redshirt freshman quarterback Webb completed 18 of 29 passes for 179 yards and three touchdowns against Georgia Tech. True freshman James Sims rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown. NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS Delhomme's status up in the air for Sunday BEREA, Ohio — Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme missed his second straight practice because of an injured right ankle. Cleveland coach Eric Mangini said Delhomme has made progress with his ankle, which he hurt while throwing an interception in the closing minutes of the first half in Sunday's season-opening loss at Tampa Bay. Delhomme has been wearing a walking boot to stabilize his ankle. If Delhomme is sidelined for Sunday's home opener against Kansas City, back Seneca Wallace will make his 15th career start.

A / GAME DAY / FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM KU KICKOFF AT A GLANCE The Kansas football team is on the heels of one of its biggest victories in recent history, a 28-25 upset of them-No.15 Georgia Tech. Coach Turner Gill leads his squad on the road for the first time and has the added pressure (or motivation, depending on who you ask) of playing on national television in a hostile environment.

M. BARKER Hatch KANSAS AT SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI 7 p.m., M. M. ROBERTS STADIUM, Hattiesburg, Miss.. ESPN Sims top the 100 yard mark but allowed four sacks — but having both Hatch and senior left guard Sal Capra in the same unit should give the somewhat immobile Webb more time to make his reads QUESTION MARK How will the defense fail against the spread? Kansas is five-point underdogs, but that is not the important spread to the players or the coaching staff. Southern Miss runs a Big 12-style spread offense and is known to go no-huddle numerous times throughout the course of a game.The Kansas defense has looked great against "run first"-minded North Dakota State and Georgia Tech,but their secondary will face their first true test of the season in Southern Miss junior wide receiver DeAndre Brown. GAME PREVIEW BY THENUMBERS With their visit to Hattiesburg, Mississippi becomes the 37th state the Kansas football team has played in. 37 Rushing yards for sophomore linebacker Toben Opurum last season against Southern Miss in a 35-28 victory in Lawrence. Opurum converted to linebacker during fall camp. 16.5 109 Number of career sacks for senior defensive end Jake Laptad. KANSAS (1-1) OFFENSE Running back James Sims, the "freshman prince of Lawrence," should have another solid shot at a 100-yard game with senior running back Angus Quigley questionable with a leg injury. Hopefully Sims can have a performance as eye-popping as his hi-fade haircut. DEFENSE Linebackers Justin Springer, Steven Johnson and Drew Dudley were tremendous against Georgia Tech quarterback Joshua Nesbitt and their other cast of running backs. The linebackers recorded 34 total tackles, 15 of which came from Springer alone. Limiting 100 C Sims the run will not be as important against the pass-first Golden Eagles, but continuing to make tackles will be key. M. HORAS Springer SPECIAL TEAMS Coach Gill said at Tuesday's press conference that special teams aggressiveness will be a key factor in determining the outcome of Friday night's game."The T. B. MUNROE Beshears keys to the game — we have to play with tenacity,"Gill said."Our guys have to play with the same type of execution, passion, and confidence that we played with last week. We have to win the special teams battle. That's going to be an important phase." COACHING Co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Darrell Wyatt knows Southern Miss well—he SIR ARUNDRA JAYASAN was the associate head coach and offensive coordinator the last two seasons before joining the Kansas coaching staff. The short-week should help the Jayhawks carry over some of their good vibes from the Georgia Tech game, but Southern Miss is coming off a dominant win of their own. Orange Bowl champions just two seasons ago, the Jayhawks are more comfortable playing on the national stage than their Conference USA counterpart. SOUTHERN MISS (1-1) MOMENTUM OFFENSE The Golden Eagle offense is led by junior quarterback Austin Davis. Davis, who started his freshman year, has accounted for more than 4,700 yards throughout his career. Freshman running back Kendrick Hardy received the bulk of the carries last week in Southern Miss' 34-7 win past Prairie View A&M. He rushed 20 times for 86 yards. DEFENSE The Golden Eagle defense allowed only seven points last week to Prairie View A&M but gave up 41 points the first week to South Carolina. Senior linebacker Martez Smith leads the Southern Miss defense with 15 tackles. SPECIAL TEAMS Junior kicker Danny Hrap mann is 4-4 in field goa this year. He was ranked as the 22nd best kicking prospect by scout.com comi Davis CANADA ational MATT GALLOWAY Smith P Hrapmann school. He sat out last year after transferring from Southern Louisiana. COACHING The Golden Eagles are coached by Larry Fedora. He has led Southern Miss to winning records his first two years with the school. In 2007, he replaced longtime coach Jeff Bower. Fedora had previously been an offensive coordinator at Florida and, more recently, Oklahoma State. MOMENTUM Southern Miss was embarrassed against South Carolina to begin the year. In that game, the Golden Eagles scored only twice of the six times they were in South Carolina's red zone. They played Prairie View A&M last week and won easily. Fedora — Max Vosburgh Jordan Webb USM KICKOFF AT A GLANCE Southern Miss has started the season exactly opposite of Kansas. The Golden Eagles lost to talented South Carolina and beat inferior Prairie View &M. On the other hand, Kansas has lost to a team they should have beat and was victorious against a team that was favored. This game should be fairly evenly matched. PLAYER TO WATCH Junior wide receiver DeAndre Brown Brown may be the Golden likely NFL prospect. At 6 feet 6 inches tall and 239 lbs., he could create matchup problems for the Jayhawk secondary Last secondary. Last Brown week, Brown caught five passes for 100 yards and a touchdown. QUESTION MARK Which Southern Miss team will show up? Like Kansas, Southern Miss has been a tale of two teams. They played poorly against undefeated SEC foe South Carolina but decisively beat FCS opponent Prairie View A&M. Although Kansas lost to an FCS team, they beat a team as good as South Carolina. This game should answer a lot of questions on where both the Jayhawks and Golden Eagles are talent-wise. 5 BY THE NUMBERS Times Southern Miss has fumbled the ball already this year. They've only lost two, however. 17 Penalties called against the Golden Eagles in their first two games combined. 27.316 People were at the Golden Eagles home game last Saturday against Prairie View A&M.

Brutal ruling costs Lions a game MORNING BREW R Rule 8, Section 1, Article 4 of the NFL's rule book states: "A player that falls to the ground in the process of making a catch must secure the ball through the entire time he is falling." To the dismay of Detroit, Calvin "Megatron" Johnson did not follow this rule and his Lions lost (again) 19-14 against the Chicago Bears Sunday. 1987 With 1:32 left in the fourth quarter, Detroit had a 2nd and 10 on Chicago's 25 yard line. Quarterback Shaun Hill (who replaced the injured Matthew Stafford) threw a gem of a lob to the right back corner of the end-zone and Johnson brought it down for a score. After getting two feet in and landing his left knee in bounds, Johnson's right hand (with the football) flailed to the ground as the ball scurried away. The catch seemed like a clear game-winner. Hill and Johnson both reacted accordingly, sprinting around the field as if the hapless Lions had just won the Super Bowl. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Detroit Lions should know better. BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com The play was reviewed,ruled incomplete and the Lions could not convert on third and fourth downs. Or, maybe, and just maybe, we could make a logical decision here (as frogs fall from the sky and locusts swarm to my pen). Now, faithful followers of the NFL, bow to the aforementioned rule book and kiss its imaginary feet. Mike Pereira, former head of NFL officiating said, "A play from start to finish is a process. When you go to the ground, even after you've caught the ball, you have to maintain possession. The onus is on the receiver to hold onto the ball even after he hits the ground." The onus should be on the NFL to change the almighty rule book. Johnson had possession of the ball when he landed in bounds. He lost control of the ball in a second action, which was part physics, part the beginning of his celebration. However the rule was enforced and the Lions lost. So, too, did the credibility of the NFL. Type in "Calvin Johnson, not a TD" on Google or YouTube or wherever else the kids get their visual kicks these days and decide for yourself. Music from the Vaults Welcome back to the other side of the Morning Brew, where we break down a lost or as some might say "vaulted" treasure of the music world. So find a snorkel or a shovel or a lantern and come along for the journey This week, we pay homage to 1971's "Ram" by Paul McCartney. Compared to John Lennon's "Imagine" and "Plastic Ono Band," George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" and even McCartney's own "Band on the Run," this album is highly slept on, but perhaps the finest of all the post-Beatles solo THE MORNING BREW works. "Ram On" has a mellow, summery feel, almost encouraging the listener to revisit glorious times past. Its simplistic style is soothing to the busy mind. Better yet, its 57 second reprise might just steal the show. That is, if not for "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", which rotates through sounds so freely, it sounds like it belongs on Abbey Road. The climax is reached two and half minutes into the song in unpredictable fashion (until you uncontrollably play the song over and over again). If you can find the bonus tracks, "Oh Woman, Oh Why" brings us back to the Holter Skelter" McCartney of the White Album that we all wish there was more of. So put down Peppers and Revolver, (you've heard them like a ga-gillion times anyway) and head to the heart of the country with Paul. We can even forget that femme Linda was ever there. — Edited by Tim Dwyer VOLLEYBALL KANSAS 15 Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard talks to his team during a game against Winthrop last week. Bechard is going for his 200th career victory Saturday night. Jayhawks to focus on consistency BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com The volleyball team will be looking for its first conference victory of the year in the Big 12 home opener this Saturday. Coach Ray Bechard will be looking for his 200th win with Kansas. But before any of that happens, the Jayhawks will have to stop a four-match winning streak for the Texas A&M Aggies. Kansas dropped to ninth in the Big 12 after falling in four sets to Kansas State in Manhattan on Wednesday night. That loss leaves Kansas 0-1 in conference play, though it still carries an overall record of 9-3. In that match, the Jayhawks lost the first two sets to the Wildcats before rallying in the third set with an offensive charge led by junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield. It was another rally to follow a slow start, as seen in the match against Northern Iowa last weekend. Junior outside hitter Lauren Hagan said the team found more confidence at those points in the game. "We just know we're better," Hagan said. "We tend to not start off very well and we know we're better than that, and when we're sitting in the locker room we're all looking at each other and we're like That nearly turned the tide, tying the game 29-29, but Kansas State's blocking ended the set and the match. The rally included an outstanding performance by junior setter Nicole Tate. 'let's go." The Aggies' four-match winning streak comes from defeating Texas last night and sweeping the University of Denver's Pioneer Classic last weekend, where they topped Jacksonville State, Denver and Gonzaga. Following that tournament, Texas A&M freshman setter Allie Sawatzky was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week. Sawatzky has started every match for Texas A&M in her first season, and ranks Coach Ray Bechard also described Tate as competitive. "We got a lot of confidence in Nicole." Bechard said. "She brings that competitiveness and the experience of having been in the Big 12 a number of times, and that's difficult to recreate for a young player, sometimes." Red shirt freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said Tate was one of the most competitive players on the team. "I thought that Tate did a good job of coming in and changing the tempo of the game," she said. "It doesn't matter whether she starts or not, she's always in that same level." Meanwhile, junior left-side hitter Kelsey Black leads the Big 12 with 5.17 points per set. She has led the Aggies in kills in every match of the season, making her second in the league with 4.16 kills per set. Match time for Kansas versus Texas A&M is 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at Horejsi Family Athletics Center. fourth in the conference with 9.89 cards per set.

The two teams will face off at 7 P.M. tonight in Hattiesburg, Miss. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO PAGE 10A The Jayhawks look to pick up a second win over Southern Miss BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway Many players on the Kansas football team will play a Friday game for the first time since their high school glory days when the team travels to Hattiesburg, Miss., to play Southern Mississippi. There is one slight difference, though; their high school games were not aired on national television. The Jayhawks (1-1) will face their first road test of the season tonight against the Golden Eagles (1-1) at 7 p.m. on ESPN. "I know that they play well at home. They do a fantastic job at their home stadium," coach Turner Gill said. "I've coached there on one other occasion, so I have had an experience there and there will be an issue with crowd noise, particularly it being a Friday night game on ESPN." The vertical passing game is almost tailor made for Golden Eagles' junior wide receiver DeAndre Brown who is coming off a five catch, 100 yard game The Kansas defense will play their third different offensive scheme in three weeks, this time facing the spread offense. Leaving the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium will be a test for a defensive unit that has been impressive in its first two matchups, but senior cornerback Chris Harris is looking forward to the challenge. "I love playing on the road," Harris said. "It's fun going in to other people's places and getting the win. There's nothing like that. The road games are just really exciting." against Prairie View A&M last weekend. Containing Brown's explosiveness will be a major key to the game. Gill said. "Everybody has heard about their receiver DeAndre Brown," Gill said. "Outstanding player, has size and speed and is a big-play guy; he's somebody we have to limit. We're not going to shut him down, but we do have to limit his big plays. While the Golden Eagles' offense reflects more of what the upperclassmen have faced in Big 12 play in recent years, Harris sees comparisons with the offense he sees every practice. Receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator Darrell Wyatt was the Southern Miss offensive coordinator from 2008-09. "It's pretty much the same as our offense," Harris said. "They do a little more no huddle, they go vertical a little more than our offense, but their offensive coordinator is here now and is pretty much the assistant offensive coordinator now. It's pretty much the same, just going against what we practice every day." Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long said the offense would be built around the skill set of its quarterback, Jordan Webb. Production from freshman running back James Sims and senior running back Angus Quigley gave the team more options in the backfield, Webb said. "We were in the shotgun a lot more," Webb said. "The coaches thought that gave us the best chance to win, and we executed well from the shotgun." Edited by Abby Davenport SOCCER Kansas ending nonconference at home Kansas looks to ride momentum of last Sunday's win BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com The soccer team returns home today for the first time in three weeks after a five-game road trip in which they went 2-3. The Jayhawks are excited to play in Lawrence again after games in Georgia, Illinois and Las Vegas. "It's a breath of fresh air," senior midfielder Caitlin Noble said. "We aren't stressed about school. We don't have to worry about traveling or waking up early." "It's a much more relaxed environment, and when people are more relaxed they are more confident and thus we play better." Noble said. The team had a lot of support in Chicago and Las Vegas from family and friends who made the trip. The Jayhawks had strong support at home in their first game and they hope to get the same support. Kansas (3-3) plays its last two nonconference games this weekend. The team has played a difficult schedule already that has included Oregon and 14thranked Northwestern, teams the lav Hawks defeated. A majority of the goals the Jayhawks have conceded this year have been the result of mental mistakes. The team had a meeting on its off day in Las Vegas to discuss the problems and get everybody on the same page. "It's not good that we had that loss on Friday, but we refocused and on Sunday we collectively came together." Noble said. "It's probably the best we have played all season." The Jayhawks look to keep the momentum going against Wisconsin-Milwaukee (2-3-2) today and Missouri State (4-3) on Sunday. Milwaukee has received votes in the NSCAA Coaches' Poll almost all season in large part to wins against Ohio State and Michigan State. The Panthers are led by junior forward Keara Thompson who has a goal in three straight games. Missouri State will be a test for Kansas on Sunday. The Bears come into The Jayhawks will need another strong weekend from sophomore goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau, who was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday. three goals to lead the Bears, while sophomore forward Rachel Weimer and junior midfielder Tara Bailes have tallied two a piece. the weekend with 103 shots. The team is young compared to the Jayhawks,with only three seniors to the Jayhawks' seven. Liebetraut recorded her fifth career shutout against Oregon. She said that organization was key to the victory. "We refocused and on Sunday we collectively came together." CAITLIN NOBLE Senior midfielder Missouri State defeated Oklahoma 3-2 last weekend and has recorded shutouts in its other three wins. The Bears are led by freshman forward Brooke Williams and freshman midfielder Tiffany Laughlin, who have each scored "Being aggressive and coming off of my line, controlling my 18-vard box," Liebetrau said. N o b l e said that the defense had been strong and that Liebetrau is the anchor. "She organizes us, tells us what to do and when she comes up with the big plays," Noble said, "it makes us listen to her even more and it builds her confidence." Liebetrae leads the Big 12 with 40 saves. Last season, Liebetrau received Big 12 Newcomer of the Week. 13 "It just shows that I keep working, and I haven't let off." Liebetrau said. "It is an honor."

Kansas will have its first home game in five games tonight. COMMENTARY Three names top the list in search for new Athletics head M. JOHNSON BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Lew Perkins' marriage with the University of Kansas ended sourly, there's no questioning that. But lately, (and this paper, I admit, is as guilty as any) that angle has been beaten into the ground and then beaten some more. It's time jayhawks looked to the future. It's difficult to name legitimate candidates for a job of this scale. Strong ties to the University are One criteria you'll find among all the candidates I mention. But Lew Perkins' strongest tie to Kansas was a stint as the athletics director at Wichita State, so that may be irrelevant. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little will be getting hundreds of résumés over the next couple weeks: some that are sent unprovoked, and some that she will go after. There's no way of knowing who will be on her list, but here are three candidates that might be. MIKE BOHN MIKE BOHN Colorado athletics director Hinrichs' resume reminds me a bit of Lew Perkins'. Perkins played an integral role in Connecticut's move from a Division II football program to Division I. Likewise, Hinrichs has overseen the move of all 14 of Northern Colorado's programs into the ranks of Division I's Big Sky Conference. Hinrichs has a bachelor's and a master's degree from Kansas, and this position would definitely be a step up for him. You know about Bohn, the former Kansas quarterback who recently orchestrated Colorado's move from the Big 12. Bohn, in accepting a Pac-10 invite, proved that he can and will do what is necessary to keep his school on high ground — a skill that, with the still uncertain future of the Big 12, could be a valuable asset for Kansas. Bohn's biggest deterrent would be that accepting the job could be viewed as a lateral move. JAY HINRICHS Northern Colorado athletics director Lester says he's not a candidate for the job. I believe him, sort of. I believe that his focus is running the athletics department as well as he can for however long he has the interim job—without the distraction of gunning for the permanent position. But I also believe that if he does the interim job so well that Gray-Little asks him to step on full-time, he wouldn't say no. Consider this: Lester makes no secret of the fact that he wants to be an athletics director. He also told me Tuesday that when this search is over, he hopes to remain at Kansas. SEAN LESTER Kansas interim athletics director He's played a huge part in getting the Anderson Family Football Complex, the new baseball clubhouse and the renovations to Allen Fieldhouse completed. He's got the support of the only two coaches I've talked to (basketball's Bill Self and baseball's Ritch Price) and he knows the ins and outs of the Kansas program better than any candidate. Lester may have removed himself from the running, but I think Gray-Little may still take a long look at him. SEAN LESTER Like I said, it's quite impossible to know who will be on the short list for the long-term job, but I certainly think you can do worse than these three.

HELPFUL HERBS Native plants now herbal remedies THE GREEN CIRCLE MUSEUM Plants are harvested and sent to West Campus for research Open house participants take a break at the overlook at Rockefeller Prairie northeast of Lawrence Saturday morning. Kelly Kindscher, senior scientist for the Kansas Biological Survey, led a medicinal walk as part of the fall open house for Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden northeast of Lawrence. The medicinal plant tour began at the research garden and ended at Rockefeller Prairie, a native Kansas prairie in southeastern Jefferson County. Kelly Stroda/KANSAI BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com "Don't worry, you won't hurt any of the plants," he said. "Bison used to graze here." Standing near Rockefeller Prairie northeast of Lawrence Saturday morning, Kelly Kindscher said he was going to take people into the native Kansas prairie behind him. Nevermind the more than six-foot-tall grasses and native plants. Kindscher, senior scientist for the Kansas Biological Survey, led the medicinal plant walk Saturday as part of the fall open house for the Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden in northeastern Douglas County. Some of the seeds for the research garden came from the University's Rockefeller Prairie in Jefferson County. The garden is a collaborative effort between the botany and medicinal chemistry departments at the University. Kindscher and Barbara Timmermann, chair of the medicinal chemistry department, head the Native Medicinal Plant Research Program. The goal is to understand medicinal compounds in native plants that could be used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods and medicines for pets and livestock. The garden melds the old and the new: the state's native plants and modern technology. "We're kind of in a new game, as I see it," Kindscher said. He said that's where the University and research come in. Kirsten Bosnak, outreach coordinator for the program, said there were no plants in the five-acre garden at the beginning of May. Now, 20 species of native plants grow there. These include common milkweed, stinging nettle and white sage. Tall boneset was the garden's first plant to be harvested. After plants are harvested, they are sent to medicinal research labs at the University's West Campus. The plants are dried and ground into powder. Kindscher said 20 pounds of harvested plants might only weigh about three pounds when ground up. Along with continuing their research, Kindscher said another goal of the project is to teach people about plants powder is similar to the consistency of oregano. Greg Beverlin, a senior from Paola, runs the grinder the dried plants go through. He said the Then the chemists perform research. The powder is tested for propertieslikeanti-cancer,wound-healing, anti-inflammation and anti-oxidant compounds.

The use of herbal products to help with sickness or injury is common in countries in Europe and Asia, Kindscher said. With more knowledge and understanding, he said more Americans could use herbal products in this manner as well. "Most herbs are fairly safe, so why not?" Kindscher said. Kelly Stroda/KANSAN He said he doesn't recommend that people go out and cut their own plants for medicinal use without decent knowledge of their properties. Kindscher said a good variety of these herbal products can be bought at stores across town. To learn more about the program or plants that are native to Kansas, check out www.native-plants.ku.edu.

Yarrow — Achillea millefolium This plant is found in the prairies, meadows and open woods of all northern continents. Yarrow has been used for its woundhealing properties. If dried powder from the plant is put on a wound, it will heal faster. Mint — Mentha arvensis Mint Mental arvensis Wild mint tends to grow in moist soil of stream banks and prairie ravines. Peppermint (often used in tea) can be used to help digestion. Purple coneflower — Echinacea angustifolia Purple coneflower — Echinacea angustifolia Purple coneflower grows in dry upland prairies of the Great Plains, often in rocky areas. Native Americans considered the plant a "cure-all."The medicinal properties of the plants act as an immune-stimulant. I am so happy to be with you. I love you and everything about you.

KU INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS The University of Kansas The group of El Salvadoran immigrants described as "cult-like" by sheriff's officials, was led by Chicas, a 32-year-old woman from Palmdale in northeast Los Angeles county, sheriff's Captain Mike Parker said. Members left behind cell phones, identifications, deeds to property, and letters indicating they were awaiting the Rapture. For more information about business abroad programs, contact the Institute for International Business at crose@ku.edu or (785) 864-4583. Chicas was sent to a hospital for mental evaluation Sunday ASSOCIATED PRESS The items came from a purse that a member of the group had left with her husband Saturday and asked him to pray over. He eventually looked inside and he and another member's husband called authorities, authorities said. Reyna Marisol Chicas was placed under a 72-hour mandatory hold after it was determined she was not able to care for herself or others, said Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Thomas Kim. PALMDALE, Calif. — The leader of a breakaway religious sect was hospitalized Sunday for a mental evaluation, after members of her group went missing and left behind evidence that they were awaiting the rapture or some catastrophic event. Officers had been searching a wide swath of Southern California since Saturday after family members found letters saying the group was awaiting an apocalyptic event and would soon see Jesus and their dead relatives in heaven. Chicas gave investigators a false name and was rambling during questioning, Kim said. She told deputies she had no children, even though her two kids were with her.

Contact: Erica Bartlett, erica745@ku.edu Ending a frantic search, deputies found Chicas and 12 others just before noon at Jackie Robinson Park near Palmdale after getting a tip from a local resident, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. He said all members are safe. Chicas used to be a member of Iglesia De Cristo Miel, a Christian congregation in Palmdale, but left about two years ago without much explanation, said Pastor Felipe Vides, who said he had spoken with the sheriff's office. The 13 adults and children were in three vehicles outside Pete Knight High School, Parker said. The deputy reported everyone appeared safe and he went on his way. Religious cult leader hospitalized NATIONAL Help Support Up 'til Dawn ONE NIGHT ONE CAUSE OUR CAMPUS 3 Spoons YOGURT St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ALSAC • Danny Thomas, Founder When the deputy made contact, adults in the group told him they were praying against violence in schools and against sexual immorality, specifically premarital sex. A sheriff's deputy had spoken to members of the group at 3 a.m. Saturday while they were praying in their parked vehicles outside of a Palmdale high school, Parker said. Chicas apparently had formed her own religious group, Parker said. About 12 to 15 people would gather at her home in Palmdale, a high-desert city of 139,000, and one night about a week ago, they didn't leave until 2 a.m., said neighbor Cheri Kofahl. Others who knew Chicas said she was devout but hardly fanatic in her religious beliefs. "We've got a group here that's practicing some orthodox and some unorthodox Christianity," Parker said. "Obviously this falls under the unorthodox." Former neighbor Ricardo Giron told The Los Angeles Times that Chicas became increasingly religious after she separated from her husband four years ago. The church has about 400 members, mostly immigrants from Latin America, Vides said. About six months ago, the group had planned to head to Vasquez Rocks, a wilderness area near Palmdale, to await a catastrophic earthquake or similar event, but one member of the group revealed details of the trip to relatives, Parker said. The trip was called off and the member kicked out. The adults expressed shock at the notion that they might harm themselves, Parker said. "She appeared normal, calm. We didn't see anything strange." But Giron's wife, Lisela, said the church she had attended was a typical Christian congregation and Chicas did not have a leadership role. "Everywhere she was going, she was taking her kids with her," Giron told the newspaper. "You felt like you could trust her." The couple said Chicas regularly baby-sat for their children and the two families went on outings together. The men told investigators they believe group members had been "brainwashed" by Chicas, and one expressed worries that they might harm themselves, Parker said. One of the children is 3, and the others range from 12 to 17. Sheriff's officials said there was no criminal investigation planned. According to an emergency bulletin put out by the governor's office, in addition to Chicas, the missing include: Norma Isela Serrano, 31, Alma Alicia Miranda Pleitez, 28; Martha Clavel, 39; Jose Clavel, 15; Crystal Clavel, 3; Roberto Tejada, 18; Jonathan Tejada, 17; Hugo Tejada, 3; Ezequel Chicas, 15; Genis Chicas, 12; Bryan Rivera, 17; Stephanie Serrano, 12. When deputies arrived at the park they found the children playing on swings and the adults on a blanket praying out loud in Spanish. "These letters read like a will and testament. They read like goodbye letters," said Whitmore. "Coupled with the two husbands that come in and tell us 'Our wives are missing, we believe they are under the spell of this lady,'" deputies had no choice but to treat the matter seriously, he said. Whitmore said he didn't know if the members had done anything like this before. Vides told The Associated Press on Sunday. ACCIDENTALLY MISSED CLASS? 8 00 WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED.

H5555555 BTGCOMICS.TUMBLR.COM Ian Vern Tan MOVIES Film featuring celebrity's downfall said to be a hoax MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Judging from the early reaction inside Hollywood. Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix will have a lot of explaining to do in the coming days. It turns out that Affleck's "I'm Still Here," which purported to be a documentary, depicting an out-of-control Phoenix self-destructing before our very eyes, was actually a hoax. Virtually all of the footage, notably the scenes of Phoenix doing drugs, consorting with hookers and berating his personal assistants, was fake. Affleck's embarrassingly weak defense? "I never intended to trick anybody," he told the New York Times. "The idea of quote, hoax, unquote, never entered my mind." He said he wanted viewers to experience the film's narrative, about the disintegration of celebrity, without being clouded by preconceived notions. "We wanted to create a space. You believe what is happening is real," adding that he considered what Phoenix did on screen "a terrific performance, it's the performance of his career" While it's a performance, it's also undeniably a trick. In fact, Affleck had clearly hoped to trick as many people as possible, at least in the sense of making audiences wonder if what they were seeing was real or staged — or some strange new hybrid art form. He failed in the most obvious way. Even though the film has attracted a mountain of press attention — there's nothing the media loves more than the prospect of eyeballing a celebrity in a steep career tailspin — very few people have bothered to see the film, which has been in limited release in selected cities around the country. And while some critics, such as Roger Ebert, were upset by Phoenix's behavior, others, like my colleague Kenneth Turan and the New York Times' Manohla Dargis, seemed to immediately suspect the film was a put-on. Dargis described the movie as "a deadpan satire or a deeply sincere folly (my money is on the first option)," adding that the film was being "unpersuasively sold as a documentary." So what was Affleck really up to? I suspect that he (and Phoenix) thought it would be a real kick to see how many people they could embarrass and fool into taking the whole spectacle seriously, especially the supposed rubes in the media whom they clearly despise. It was especially telling that the first two showbiz insiders I spoke to after the news broke had similar reactions — as in, big frigg'n' deal. To hear them tell it, the film was an eccentric, not to mention self-important, exercise in foolishness, concocted by two knuckleheads who seemed peeved either because they didn't have successful A-list careers or because they thought the industry was too dull and mindless to allow them to take the kind of bold risks that real artists take. As one industry agent put it, clearly looking ahead to Phoenix's appearance Sept. 22 on David Letterman's late-night show, "Boy, if Letterman wasn't in on the joke, he is really going to take that poor guy to the cleaners."

EDITORIAL BOARD Chancellor must put forward strong image Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little has solidified her role as a strong leader and a Gray-Little's considerable efforts to help extinguish KU's recent athletic turmoil and do what is best for this University is commendable. On Friday, the Kansas Board of Regents spoke highly of Gray-Little, praising her handling of recent issues at the University. But with a strong leader, we also need someone who can put forth a strong image. The past several months have not been easy for the Athletics Department, nor for Gray-Little. With the Big 12 conference realignment this past summer and the embarrassing string of events involving out-going athletics director Lew Perkins, Gray-Little has accumulated a significant amount of responsibility, less than a year after her arrival to KU. The challenges she has been faced with in the past several months seem overwhelming for a first-year chancellor, but because she is a fresh face, it is all the more important to establish a strong identity and image for the University. While Gray-Little does comment to the public from time-to-time about the various happenings going on with the University, she tends to, unfortunately, not put her face out there and provide a distinct image of herself, in correlation with the University Surely Gray-Little does not enjoy reading negative headlines surrounding KU, therefore she should continue to speak up and distance the image of scandal and bad press far, far away from the actuality of KU. Next on Gray-Little's to-do list is to hire a new athletics director who is as successful at raising money as Perkins, but also one that can run the department in an ethical way. And when Gray-Little updates the public on the University's plans and thoughts on the matter, we hope she displays a strong sense of Jayhawk self. Stefanie Penn for The Kansan Editorial Board CARTOON HEY, MY CARBON FOOTPRINT FILLED IN WITH WATER FROM THAT OLD GLACIER— AWESOME! THAT OLD GLACIER AWESOME! Optimism in a planet half warmed. NICK SAMBULAK LETTER TO THE EDITOR Comic perpetuates stereotypes This letter is in response to the "Little Scottie" comic for the Tuesday, September 14, 2010, edition of The University Daily Kansan. Let me preface this letter by saying that I value the UDK's freedom of publication and first amendment rights; without it, I would not be able to have this response letter published. Furthermore, I value the uniqueness of the UDK in that allows me to learn about many different aspects of Lawrence, the University of Kansas, and the students. Also, I appreciate past articles and willingness to explore topics in the LGBT community. I, however, do not appreciate when the freedom of speech turns into comic slander. I do not find it a coincidence at all that today a cartoon comic ran that featured a seemingly gay fraternity during Delta Lambda Phi's (a fraternity for Gay, Bisexual and Progressive Men) Rush Week. Opinions on LGBT culture and the fraternity are warranted and welcomed. That being said, they should not exemplify the misconceptions and stereotypes projected Gay-friendly fraternities as well as other queer organizations on campus serve to give sexual minorities places to feel safe. The cartoon aims to strip the sanctity of these entities. Progressive upon the queer community. This cartoon pigeonholeed queer friendly fraternities as predatory by insinuating particular roles played by members of different pledge classes; i.e. the "Big Brothers" were older, hairy, and more muscular men while the pledges were portrayed as cuter, more child-like and effeminate boys. Also, the language being used by the characters makes the pledges (more broadly, gay men) seem unintelligent, unmasculine, and immature. The last box of the comic, especially, took it too far. In it, the plague process and fraternity system were completely undermined by the underlying sexual connotations. The heterosexual community often hypersexualizes the queer community in order to vilify them. Using these stereotypes, including the sexualization of the gay community, paralyzes social justice and progress. fraternities provide a safe-haven for those who are marginalized and ostracized by the obstinate traditions of heteronormative fraternal beliefs. Overall, this cartoon unjustly turns the public against a gay fraternity. All fraternities stand upon the same pillars: service, philanthropy, recreation and brotherhood, and one that welcomes gay men is no different. This aspect of their membership does not mean that they run their organization by sexual urges and desires. The fact that this cartoon would reduce a fraternity to the stance of a brothel or some kind of sexual competition is absurd and offensive. I hope that in the future the University Daily Kansan will think twice before publishing a cartoon that uses comedy as a means of discrimination, perpetuation of negative stereotypes, and vilification an entire group of (minority) people. — Sara Thompson and Joshua Williams are president and vice-president, respectively, of Queers and Allies at KU Your recent article "Employers discriminate against disabled" is a disappointing tribute to the University's attitude toward individuals with disabilities. Individuals who have disabilities are people first, not labels. They are not "the disabled." All of the helping professions stress people first language, which shows that the person is much more than just the disability they have. With much more of society participating in this shift of language, exemplified in KU students "Spread the Word to End the Word" campaign last spring, the UDK's outdated vocabulary is disappointing. As a paper available LETTER TO THE EDITOR Word choice in article disappoints to such a large number of people, I would hope appropriate terminology is a priority. It is not just a matter of being politically correct as giving credit those employed by the University that have disabilities are more individuals and valued for their contributions more than having a focus on disability. Also, the UDK's information about legislation in the United States is just plain wrong. Our country passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. In fact, Lawrence had a parade this summer to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ADA. The Disabilities Discrimination Act was legislation passed in the United Kingdom five years later. While I applaud the UDK for bringing this important issue of disabilities and discrimination to the table, the inappropriate language and incorrect information is discouraging. It really is a testament to the University's attitude towards people in the disability community. — Elizabeth Boresow is a junior from Leawood in music therapy. GOVERNMENT Idea of community needs reworking due to politics When Jim Leach brought his National Civility Tour to National Civility Tour to the University last week, the chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities waxed nostalgic for an era when people could disagree without being disagreeable. Speaking to a sizable crowd at the Dole Institute of Politics, Leach cited the example of none other than former Sen. Bob Dole. "Bob Dole was a partisan," Leach noted. "But he wasn't opposed to working across the aisle to get things done." Dole may be remembered tor his role as the GOP standard-bearer against President Bill Clinton in 1996, but he also distinguished himself as a bipartisan conciliator. Among his most laudable efforts was his cooperation with Sen. George McGovern, a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, to combat hunger in America. One can only imagine what the Tea Party would make of Dole today. With the slightest inclination to compromise seen as grounds for a primary challenge, there's little incentive for GOP lawmakers to continue in the Dole tradition of committed, but pragmatic, Republicanism. As a result, issues like climate change, immigration reform, and further efforts to boost the national economy fester, unsolved. Moreover, Leach lamented, the deep divisions that mark modern politics are expressed in the most vehement of terms. Every issue is now deemed a "moral" one. Conservative opponents of the health care law are evil Scrooges who, according to Rep. Alan Grayson (D.Fla.), want the sick to "die quickly." Meanwhile, that remarkably centrist law is cast by the right as a sinister, socialist plot to remake America. What is to be done about the coarsening of the national dialogue? As Leach rightly pointed out, solutions must begin at the level of individuals. Legal scholar and Obama administration regulatory czar Cass Sunstein has argued that the Politics on Campus BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com proliferation of electronic media may actually make the present polarization worse. People tend to gravitate toward sources of information that confirm their pre-existing biases. With the selective power of the World Wide Web, it's easier than ever to shut oneself off from contrary views. What's urgently needed is a rethinking of what it means to live in an increasingly technocratic society. It's no mere coincidence that as new forms of digital media have become available, people have grown more and more isolated. In his book "Bowling Alone," sociologist Robert Putnam chronicles an America in which the concept of community is rapidly becoming a distant memory. The University has a vital role in rekindling the communal spirit and leading society back toward civility. If problems are to be solved and differences are to be cordial, it's essential for people of various racial, ethnic, religious, socioeconomic, and sexual backgrounds to mix and mingle backgrounds to mix and mingle. It's fitting that Leach heads an organization dedicated to the promotion of the humanities, as that aspect of the University experience is critical, too. The study of literature, history, philosophy, and the arts teach us, above all, that there is more than one way to look at any given phenomenon. The University fulfills many roles. It cultivates students' minds, athletics, and yes, career prospects. But there perhaps no more important function than turning out well-rounded, thoughtful citizens. Luke Brinker is a sophomore from Topeka in history. Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com Chatterbox "Being a veteran let me say this, we may have high minded ideals at one time but most of us were doing what we though was necessary to protect the United States. We probably felt a little stupid when we had to rise and stand at attention like so many young people but we did it out of respect. Now, years later when I stand at attention and salute (a recent change in the rules) I get very irritated with the disrespect of so many who may be American but never really earned it. When I was younger it sometimes took an older person, usually a veteran, to remind you to do the right thing. Which is to stand and show respect. Now I guess I'm that guy but there are so few veterans today than there were 30 years ago. If we were to allow free speech for the fools then it is also appropriate for us veterans to point out how boorish their behavior is and they must take it silently. After all, we are exercising our free speech rights. Maybe the next game they will stop the festivities and remind everyone of what is proper conduct." —"Calvin" in response to "KU fans disrespect anthem" on Sept. 16.

Spending hundreds of dollars on books has even become quite common for students like Gianni Santucci, whose textbook bill this fall came to a costly $350. As textbook costs continue to rise, adding to the already expensive college experience, students can't be blamed for feeling a bit frustrated. "They cost too much," said Santucci, a freshman from Wichita. "I think they're a waste of money." But there may be a few new remedies on campus to help combat the increasingly high costs. This semester KU Bookstore is offering several innovative options including online price comparison with other retailers, book rental and even print-on-demand materials. Estella McCollum, director of the KU Bookstore, said the store decided to help students find alternatives to the traditional new and used prices that were previously the only options available. "As a non-profit store that supports Student Success, it is important to us that students can afford the materials they need in their classes," McCollum said. There is a new pricing tool on the website, kubookstore.com, that allows students to compare prices for buying books at the store, renting books or purchasing them from other retailers through Amazon and Half.com. Rather than simply turning students away to find their own bargains, the managers at the bookstore said they felt it was better to facilitate the price options that allow for better deals. "These tools have allowed us to reach out to those students that explore the online marketplace," said James Rourke, textbook manager at KU Bookstore. Even if students eventually choose Amazon or Half.com through the online comparison, at least a small portion of the sale is retained for campus services such as Student Union Activities, student employment and scholarships on campus. The University is one of only a small number of schools in the nation offering this service. In addition to buying and renting traditional textbooks, students can also choose, for selected titles, to have books printed on demand at Jayhawk Ink. The bookstore has an agreement with a few academic publishers to print titles and can print course packets, which often include journal articles and professors' notes. Rachel Barnes, custom materials specialist for KU Bookstore, said printing-on-demand was a convenient alternative that could save students both money and time. "If we run out of a book, students can just come over and we can have it ready for them in 10 minutes," Barnes said. While these new changes may result in less overall purchases, they will undoubtedly build a certain level of trust between students and the bookstore, allowing it to continue to thrive in the future. "We feel these new services are just as much a benefit to the KU Bookstore as they are to the student," Rourke said. — Edited by Abby Davenport Don's Auto Center Certified Technicians College Approved Lawrence's local repair shop | 11th & Haskell | 841-4833 Be seen wearing your shirt.

HONOLULU — Ronald Oba grew up saluting the U.S. flag and saying the Pledge of Allegiance in school, like millions of other American boys. ASSOCIATED PRESS To prove his loyalty, Oba joined the Army as soon as President Franklin D. Roosevelt allowed Japanese-Americans to enlist. His segregated unit — the 442nd Regimental Combat Team — soon became the most highly decorated military unit in U.S. history for its size and length of service. This month, Congress is expected to award its highest honor, the Congressional Gold Medal, to Oba and others who fought, even as their countrymen viewed them "Finally, they're recognizing our contribution during World War II." with suspicion and distrust.Many wore the uniform while their families spent the war in detention camps back home. A large granite map shows where the 442nd, which absorbed the previously established Japanese-American unit, the 100th Infantry Battalion, during the war, pushed its way through Italy and France. The area covers the Vosges Mountains, where the unit suffered 800 casualties maneuvering through fog and dense forest against hidden German machine guns to rescue the trapped "Lost Just outside the clubhouse is a memorial listing the names of nearly 800 Japanese-American soldiers killed in action. A plaque spells out the unit's motto — "Go for broke" — a Pidgin, or Hawaii Creole English, expression meaning "give it your all." The honorees would include some 6,000 Japanese-Americans who served as translators and interpreters against Japan, often on the front lines with Marines and soldiers fighting from island to island across the Pacific. The elite medal has been given selectively since 1776, when George Washington was awarded the first. Other honorees include the Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, Rosa Parks and the Dalai Lama. Congress awarded the medal to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first group of black fighter pilots, in 2006. Oba is grateful, saying the medal would spread awareness about the veterans. "We appreciate our legacy being carried on," Oba, now 87, said in an interview at the Honolulu clubhouse for 442nd veterans. "Finally, they're recognizing our contribution during RONALD OBA Japanese-American veteran World War II." Battalion" of the nearly all-Texan 36th Division. Sen. Daniel Inouye, who took a break from college to enlist and lost his right arm fighting in Italy, said he didn't help draft the bill because he would be honored by it. But the Hawaii Democrat said the medal would give the veterans "a jolt of joy." "Keep in mind, there were some who volunteered from behind barbed wires. We in Hawaii volunteered knowing that we were 'enemy aliens.' And that's not easy." Inouye said. "I just hope that Congress will pass it in time so that some of us may look upon and reflect and say that it was all worth it," said Inouye, who turned 86 this month. The senator hopes the award will come soon because the youngest unit members are in the their mid-80s and only about a third are still alive. The House is expected to vote on the measure as early as this week. The Senate unanimously passed the bill last month. Harold Fudena, a Military Intelligence Service translator who served while his parents were at an internment camp, died before he could be honored. The California native was listening to radio communications in New Guinea in 1943 when he intercepted a Japanese message specifying the time Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto — the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor — would be flying to inspect his troops. Fudenna's translation allowed the U.S. to shoot down Yamamoto's plane, dealing a severe blow to Japanese morale. Gen. Douglas MacArthur called the feat "one of the singularly most significant actions of the Pacific War." Keith Fudenna said his father, who died in 1993 at the age of 75, would be pleased by the medal but would deflect any honors directed at him personally. The elder Fudenna always said he was only doing his duty. "He did not think that what he did was that big of a thing, and there were many others who were more courageous and their stories should be highlighted more than his," said Keith Fudenna, who is an Alameda County Superior Court judge in California. Ted Tsuiyama, who trained with the 442nd before he was selected to be a Military Intelligence Service translator, cites a story from the beginning of the war to illustrate the difficulties Japanese-Americans faced when so many questioned their loyalty. A Hawaiian and a Japanese-American soldier in the Hawaii Territorial Guard were manning a gun pit on Oahu shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when the Hawaiian turned to his comrade. "Eh, if dey come, who you going shoot? Dem or me?" he asked, in Pidgin. The Japanese-American replied, "Who you tink, stupid? Me j'us as good American as you!" Tsukiyama, 89, said many Japanese-Americans enlisted to prove the same point. The soldiers proved, as Roosevelt said when he announced the formation of the 442nd, that being American is a matter of the "mind and heart" and not race or ancestry, he said. ASSOCIATED PRESS INTERNATIONAL NEW YORK — As Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly dozens of protesters demonstrated Sunday against his regime. The protesters set up near Central Park and wore tape across their mouths to demonstrate what they said was the oppressive nature of the Iranian government.

DR LENAHAN OPTOMETRY CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT 785.838.3200 • 935 IOWA STE. 3 KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 / NEWS ART 7A Artist turns junk into touring exhibit BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com Kati Toivanen finds beauty in everyday things — even her junk. "Why not enjoy and appreciate the beauty and joy of the places we are at and what we are surrounded by every day?" Toivanen said. Toivanen is a professor of the art and art history department at UMKC. Her newest exhibit, "Domestic Debris," will open Sept. 26 at the gallery in the Art and Design Building. The exhibit is a collection of 25 montages of images that Toivanen photographed in her home. "In this work, I came to accept, and even embrace, the accumulation of debris in my domestic environment," Toivanen said. "As a single mom, I was kind of limited as to where I could work." The pictures feature items such as balloons, cleaning supplies and houseplants. Toivanen's son Tristan, who is seven, inspired and facilitated the exhibit. "The project is something I have been working on for three years," Toivanen said. "My art used to really focus on growing up as a girl. When I had a boy child, that sort of shifted the focus of my work. Having a small child creates messes and chaos, so everything on my floor and in my house I just embraced with my camera." Shannon Bybee, assistant to the visual art chairwoman, said Towanen's exhibit was well suited to the gallery's criteria. Toivanen designed the exhibit to be interactive and relatable. "We have about eight exhibits a semester," Bybee said. "This is a teaching art and design gallery, so we have to be very sensitive to the teaching aspect of it." "I am hoping that people will see the everyday as actually kind of interesting and beautiful," Toivanen said. "People will say, 'I never looked at my toaster that way, that is actually very interesting.

NATIONAL Father shoots children, attempts suicide ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON - Three children were found shot dead in their beds Sunday at a suburban Houston apartment building, and their father was charged with their murders after surviving an apparent suicide attempt, authorities said. was being treated for what investigators say was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head, Wagner said. A sheriff's office statement he was expected to survive. Muhammed Goher, 47, was charged with three counts of capital murder in the Sunday morning shootings, said Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Jamie Wagner. Goher's two daughters, ages 14 and 7, and a 12-year-old son were killed in the shootings, which were reported around 9:45 a.m. The apartment is attached to a convenience store where Goher worked, about three miles south of Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport. Goher was in stable condition Sunday afternoon at Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, where he Gober is divorced from the children's mother, Norma Goher, but had court-ordered visitation rights, according to the statement. Those rights were to be the subject of a Sept. 27 court hearing in Houston. However, Goher received the children Friday afternoon and was to have returned them to their mother Sunday afternoon, authorities said. A female baby-sitter reported seeing Goher with a handgun and fled the apartment before hearing a gunshot, according to the statement. Neighbors did not return telephone messages left Sunday by The Associated Press. One neighbor, Julio Rodriguez, told the Houston Chronicle that he dialed 911 after he saw a woman screaming when she left the apartment at the time of the shooting. "I heard her screaming, "Gun! Gun! Shoot! Shoot!" I got scared because I knew there were kids in there," he said. Muhammad Riaz, Goher's coworker at a convenience store near his building, told the Chronicle he spoke with Goher Saturday. He found him upset over the upcoming court date and the fear of losing his visitation rights. Riaz said Goher said "everyone was lying" about him having a violent temper, Riaz told the newspaper.

The free event held on the fifth floor of the KU Memorial Union promised to teach participants the basics of Argentine tango in four hours. "I suggested it to them and then they just ran with it," said Janey Smith, an Argentine tango instructor from Kansas City, Mo. "All of the other universities around the country are doing it and they thought, OK, let's just see what happens." The event drew around 60 participants who walked and sashedaround the room to a varied sound-track of classic tango tunes and present-day hits like "Secret" by Maroon 5. "I love the music," said Sarah Brink, a fifth-year senior from Sioux Falls, S.D. "I think it's fun and kind of sassy." Brigitta Wade, president of the KU Ballroom Dance Club, said learning the tango or any ballroom dance isn't just about the music or mastering set steps. It's also about communicating with your partner. Participants were able to work on these non-verbal communication skills through a variety of exercises held in the first half of the class. One exercise had the dancers form a large circle around the room and make eye contact with someone across the way. Once eye contact was established, the two separately danced their way through the circle and into the other's spot. "With dancing you read very subtle cues that the other person is giving you," Wade said. "The lady is a follower but it is her choice to follow, and she has to get all of her cues non-verbally from her partner as the lead." Students interested in learning how to tango can join the Lawrence Tango Dancers at the Signs of Life Bookstore at 722 Massachusetts St. Mondays from 8 to 10 p.m. "It's just like walking," Smith said. "But you're learning how to walk as a four-legged creature versus a two-legged creature."

She said Friday that she is an experienced hunter, but this was her first gator. The 48-year-old former bank marketing officer from Fitchburg, Mass., was hunting Wednesday with her husband. It took about two hours to secure the gator before they could shoot it. The .22-caliber gun they used wasn't powerful enough to put the animal down, so Mara-Christian used a knife to sever the alligator's spinal cord. Meat processor Steve Drummond said the gator had so much fat that only about 40 pounds was usable meat. He will stuff the animal for display. Associated Press In pain? Stressed out? We can help!

INTERNATIONAL Palestinians offered a second peace proposal ASSOCIATED PRESS TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel's former premier gave his most detailed description yet of his 2008 peace offer to the Palestinians, saying in a lecture Sunday that if the current talks are to succeed, the agreement would have to resemble the plan the Palestinians turned down two years ago. Also Sunday, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman proposed trading sections of Israel where its Arab citizens live for West Bank Jewish settlements as part of any peace deal. The Palestinianians deemed Ehud Olmert's offer insufficient at the time, but wanted the more hawkish premier who replaced him, Benjamin Netanyahu, to use it as a starting point for negotiations. Instead, Netanyahu has taken it off the table. Olmert's statements in Tel Aviv were part of a rare political speech for the former prime minister, who resigned last year under a wave of corruption charges. In his September 2008 plan, Olmert said he proposed a Palestinian state on more than 90 percent of the West Bank, with land swaps to make up for any land Israel annexed. In past interviews, he has said the Palestinians were offered close to 94 percent of the territory. The West Bank and Gaza were to be linked through Israeli territory, and the Palestinians were to have a capital in the Arab neighborhoods of east Jerusalem. Jerusalem's coveted Old City, with its holy sites, one of the most intractable issues dividing the sides, was to be governed jointly by Israel, the Palestinianis, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United States, he said. Under Olmert's offer, Israel would have recognized the suffering of Palestinian refugees who lost their homes in the fighting around Israel's creation and would have agreed to repatriate a small number — less than 20,000 — for humanitarian reasons. The Bush administration agreed to take in 100,000 more as U.S. citizens in the framework of a peace deal, he said. About 700,000 Palestinians fled or were driven from their homes in the two-year war that surrounded Israel's creation in 1948. Palestinians claim the right of return to their homes for the refugees and their descendants — at least 5 million people today Olmert said his offer could still be a blueprint for a peace accord. "We are really on the brink on this point, at least to the extent that I know the opinions of the Palestinian leadership," Olmert said. 1000'S OF NEW CLOTHES TO CHOOSE FROM COME SEE WHATS INSIDE!

In May 2009, Abbas told The Washington Post that he couldn't accept Olmert's offer because "the gaps were wide." Olmert said Sunday, "There is no choice but to say that this agreement was not achieved when that was possible because the Palestinian side was not prepared to make the extra step that I believe we made."

The Jayhawks had a rough game losing 31-16 to Miami Miss and failing to 1-2 overall. Slow playcalling kills momentum, 'Hawks lose 31-16 BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway HATTIESBURG, Miss. — The Southern Miss football team is known for their no-huddle, hurry-up offense. With their hopes fading away in the fourth quarter Friday night, the Kansas offense seemed to be in no hurry at all. Southern Miss scored on a blocked punt and a halfback pass, freshman quarterback Jordan Webb was sacked on a rushed fourth down play early in the fourth quarter and the Jayhawks lost to the Golden Eagles 31-16 at M.M. Roberts Stadium Golden Eagles junior quarterback Austin Davis resembled what Georgia Tech senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt was supposed to look like last week, gashing the Jayhawk defense for 65 yards on nine carries. Davis also scored on a one-yard quarterback keeper late in the third quarter that put Southern Miss up 28-10. Davis' speed and agility did not surprise the Kansas defense; they just could not stop him. "We knew they had a mobile quarterback," said senior strong safety Olatian Oguntodu. "We knew what they were going to do. We were prepared." "Some of it was probably us, and some of it was a little Jordan." in. So some of that was we as coaches' fault as far as when the clock was running down." Southern Miss (2-1) ran three TURNER GILL Coach The Kansas offense looked disjointed all evening, burning timeouts early and often to avoid delay of game penalties. With the score 28-10 early in the fourth quarter, the coaching staff abstained from taking their final timeout on fourth and two with their offense rushing to get a play off. That play quickly broke down and resulted in another sack, one of four on the evening, and a turnover on downs. Coach Turner Gill puts at least some of the blame on the coaching staff for the delay of game calls and burned timeouts. "Some of it was probably us, and some of it was a little jordan," Gill said. "We were making our calls from the sideline and from upstairs and sometimes we were waiting too long to get the plays 1) ran three trick plays in the first quarter. The first was a flea flicker that turned into a quarterback option from Davis who picked up a first down. The second was the team's first touchdown, a halfback pass from senior running back VJ. Floyd that soared over the Kansas (1-2) defensive line into the arms of senior tight end Jonathan Massey on third down. Southern Miss' eagerness to run so many trick plays shows they had respect for the Kansas defense, Oguntodu said. The third trick play went the Jayhawks' way when senior strong safety Phillip Strozier made a one-armed interception on a floating wide receiver pass near the Kansas endzone. "I know this from my experience in football: When a team runs trick plays, they know you SEE MESS ON PAGE 4B COMMENTARY Two ways to look at Jayhawks this year 1 BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kaosan.com I don't get it either. If you focus on everything the Jayhawks have done well this season, they are a pretty good football team. If you look at all the flaws, the best you could expect is two more wins this season. Friday was just another example of why Kansas is still working out the changes with all the new faces. They were completely out of sync in Hattiesburg, Miss., with several play-calling miscommunications throughout the game. Goodness, Southern Miss running back VJ. Floyd had a touchdown pass and the Golden Eagles managed to block a punt for a touchdown. What's worse is this was the Jayhawks' perfect opportunity to show the nation what they could do Friday night. All eyes were on them and they gave everyone a first-hand account of why beating Georgia Tech may have been a fluke. It's a simple concept: win on primetime and people think highly of you. Look at the Kansas City Chiefs from last Monday. So Jayhawk fans are stuck. Who is this team? Well, you can look at them two ways. SEE FLAWS ON PAGE 4B VOLLEYBALL Jayhawks win in five-setter vs. Texas A&M 15 13 BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Freshman defensive specialist Brianne Riley celebrates with her teammates following Kansas' five set victory over Texas A&M Volleyball coach Ray Bechard celebrated his 200th win with Kansas in a victory against Texas A&M Saturday night. Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington led the team with 14 kills, and junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield stood out with three solo blocks in an all-around effort that pushed the match into a fifth set and stopped a four-match winning streak for the Aegies. Bechard said that the Jayhawks tried several different combinations in the course of the match, using 14 different players. "It was one of those nights where we were a little out of sync," Bechard said. "We didn't execute great until we extended to game five, and then we got a little fire, a little burst there at the end and played aggressive." In the first set, the Jayhawks saw their first lead of the night at 10-9 with a solo block from Garlington. After the Aggies took back the advantage 13-16, the Jayhawks put together a well-rounded offensive attack, with four players scoring kills, plus two service aces from sophomore defensive specialist Morgan Boub contributing to a nine-point run. With the score at 24-20, the Aggies scored three points in succession to threaten the lead before committing their fourth service error of the game and giving Kansas the set 25-23. Kansas fell behind immediately in the second set, as its offense struggled to hit the mark. The Jayhawks Bechard registered only eight kills in the set and their hitting efficiency dropped from .238 to 029. After stringing together eight points to take the lead 3-13, the Aggies stayed ahead Garlington said the Kansas offense was put off at times by Texas A&M's ability to get out of difficult to the end of the match, which they won 18-25. Dalton Gomez/KANSAN situations. "They just are a never-say-die team," she said. "It's frustrating as hitters, because we feel like we're giving our all and they're making crazy plays. They worked really hard and made a lot of great plays." Meanwhile, the Jayhawks defended against Aggie outside hitter Kelsey Black, who scored 15 kills in 41 attempts, the most of any player in the match. Black is a No. 1 ranked player in the Big 12 for aces and points per set. Handling that offense partly falls to freshman libero Brianne Riley. Riley led the team with 15 digs and was knocked to the floor several times by hard shots from the Aggies. She said it was a lot of pressure, but that she benefited from the successful blocks put up by her teammates. "That's my position and that's my job," she said. "And I know it all starts with me, so if I don't get those balls up, the play usually ends." The tide turned in set three, with a Kansas rally that didn't save the set but did continue into the next two games. Still struggling and down 13-24, the Jayhawks went on an offensive run, putting off the Aggie set point seven times in a row. Before it was over, the Aggies saw two kills from sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree, who also put up a couple of blocks together with Garlington, and two service aces by junior setter Nicole Tate. The third set ended 20-25, but Kansas had found a momentum that would carry them to victory in the next two sets. As has happened before, the entrance of Tate to the game was accompanied by a competitive boost in the jayhawk offense. Garlington said one advantage to this is she has worked with Tate for the past two years. "There's not much adjustment that has to be done because I know how she sets and how she plays," she said. "We talked in the locker room about things that we needed to do better, that we needed to get some setter-hitter connections going, and all of our hitters going. And that this was a great opportunity for us that we didn't want to let slip." Garlington said. Carlington said the team found more confidence in the third set and knew that they could play better. The Jayhawks continued to have success offensively in the fourth set, taking the lead early and keeping it until winning the set 25-22. Of 12 kills scored by the Jayhawks in this set, Karina Garlington scored five, Allison Mayfield scored three, "We felt like 14 and 2 for them were their keys, so any time those two were on the front row we would commit block and send players to go in front of them, and Mayfield had three solo blocks, so that means she was in front of the while Tolefree, Riley, junior outside hitter Lauren Hagan and freshman setter Kara Wehrs each contributed one. The layhawks also put up five blocks in that set, and went on to rack up 16 for the night - more than they have, Bechard said, in any match of the season or in some time. More than his own milestone victory, Bechard stressed the importance of winning against a quality team in conference play. The victory over Texas A&M improves Kansas' record to 10-3 overall and players she was supposed to be in front of." As in the match as a whole, the Jayhawks started out behind in the fifth set and came back with some successful offensive plays. Lauren Hagan started the run with a kill to tie the score 7-7, and the Jayhawks kept it going to take the set 15-10, with some clutch shooting by Garlington and Mayfield. Kansas will go on the road next for a 7 p.m. match against Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers are ranked No. 4 in the latest AVCA Division I poll. "They had beaten Texas 3-0 on Thursday night," he said. "This is a quality win against a top-half team in our league and you know, everybody's fighting over that top-half." 1-1 in conference play. Bechard noted that the Aggies had come in on a four-match win streak.

Kansas Athletics Tennis youngster impresses at Open MORNING BREW A about thirty miles from Lawrence, there's a bid sitter. there's a kid sitting through his high school classes just like thousands of other students in the Kansas City area. He's blonde and lanky with plenty of lean muscle on him, but he doesn't look spectacular in any way. But spectacular is a very accurate way to describe Jack Sock. If you follow the Kansas City sports scene at all, you've probably heard his name mentioned as one of the next great American tennis stars. Even if you haven't heard the name, there's a possibility that many of you attended the same high school as Sock, a 17-year-old senior at Blue Valley North in Overland Park. 102 For anyone who's not familiar with Sock, here's what he's been up to the last few weeks: On Aug. 15, he won the Boys 18 title at the 2010 USTA National Championships in Kalamazoo, Mich., topping the best junior male tennis players in the nation. That title earned him a spot BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com in the U.S. Open Men's Singles draw - the same bracket filled with names like Federer, Nadal and Roddick. He lost in the first round to a veteran named Marco Chudnelli but he managed to win one set in the match. He wasn't done in New York after that match, however. Sock still competed in the Junior U.S. Open against the best youth tennis players in the world. And he won it. That might not have been the high point of the month, though. On the last weekend of the tournament, Sock got a call from Novak Djokovic's coach asking him to practice with Djokovic, the No. 2 tennis player in the world, to warm him up for his semifinal against Federer the next day. Naturally, Sock agreed without hesitation. But he regretted it about an hour later when Federer's coach called and asked the same thing. So, 17-year-old Jack Sock had to turn down a hitting session with the greatest tennis player of all time. There's a story to tell your friends in the cafeteria With all the success and shoulder-rubbing with top pros it's easy to see why there's been some talk about this guy being one of the next big things in American tennis. He is the first American to win the Junior U.S. Open since 2000. The guy who won it that year has done pretty well for himself — Andy Roddick. American tennis could really use some new star power, too. This summer marked the first time since computer rankings THE MORNING BREW were introduced in 1973 that there wasn't an American man ranked in the top 10. Needless to say, that's a lot of pressure for a 17-year-old, especially when he hasn't graduated from high school yet. When he won his junior title on the final Sunday of the Open, he didn't have a lot of time to celebrate; i.e. flew from New York to Kansas City, Mo., that night, and the next morning at 7:45 he was back in a stiff desk at Blue Valley North. All in all, not a bad start to senior year. — Edited by Clark Goble 8 ASSOCIATED PRESS/Charlie Riede Kansas State running back Daniel Thomas got past a group of Iowa State defenders in the Wildcats' 27-20 victory on Saturday. Thomas and K State come to Lawrence on October 14. BIG 12 FOOTBALL Thomas carries 34 times in Wildcats'27-20 victory ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas State gave the ball to Daniel Thomas as much as they could and dared Iowa State to stop him. Thomas proved to be too tough for the Cyclones to handle. Thomas rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns on a careerhigh 34 carries and Kansas State rallied to beat Iowa State 27-20 on Saturday and improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2006. "They told me to be ready to handle the load, but I didn't know it was going to be 34 carriers," said Thomas, who has gained 552 yards through three games. "I want the ball every play if I can take it." Carson Coffman added 104 passing yards for the Wildcats (3:0,1-0 Big 12). It didn't quite match the drama of last year's matchup in Kansas City — won by Kansas State 24-23 on a late blocked extra-point try — but it took nearly 60 minutes for the Wildcats to close out Iowa State yet again. Thomas's 2-yard TD run gave Kansas State a 24-20 lead with 6:47 left. Brandon Harold then sacked Iowa State's Austen Arnaud with 1:58 left and recovered a fumble, setting up a 42-yard field goal by The Cyclones drove to the Wildcats' 36-yard line with 19 seconds left, but Arnaud threw a pair of incomplitions to end the rally. Arnaud threw for 122 yards and a touchdown to lead Iowa State (1-2, 0-1), which lost its third straight to Kansas State. "We had our spots of good and we had our spots of bad. Definitely penalties killed us today," Arnaud said. "We've got to be a smarter football team. We've got to execute better in times when it's crunch time." Kansas State's final touchdown drive covered 83 yards, and Thomas capped it with five straight carries after Brodrick Smith came back to the ball for a crucial 47-yard catch. Iowa State burned all its timeouts to get the ball back with 1:38 left and a chance to tie it. The Cyclones got close, but Arnaud missed a wide-open Alexander Robinson downfield, and Iowa State didn't get any closer. "I know one thing. He doesn't get weaker as the game goes on." Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said of Thomas. Thomas opened the second half with a 23-yard run, and it looked like the Wildcats were finally poised to take over a game they had controlled to that point. That's when Coffman threw it right to Iowa State linebacker A.J. Klein — who was in zone coverage without a receiver in sight — and Klein's 69-yard interception return gave Iowa State an improbable 14-10 lead. Thomas nearly got into the miscue act himself, losing control of the ball at the goal line on a spectacular 1-yard touchdown plunge midway through the third quarter. A review held up the call, though, putting the Wildcats back ahead 17-14. "He's a hard runner, shifty, and he showed that he had speed too," Klein said of Thomas. "He ran the ball hard." Grant Mahoney's field goal tied the game at 17 late in the third quarter, and he put Iowa State ahead 20-17 with 11:26 to go. The Wildcats ran it 28 times for 163 yards against Iowa State's suspect rush defense in the first half, but a muffed fake field goal helped keep the Cyclones within 10-7. Iowa State jumped ahead 7-3 on Arnaud's 13-yard TD pass to Jake Williams to start the second quarter. Coffman answered with a 10-yard touchdown run on an option keeper to put Kansas State on top 10-7 with 11:02 left. on top 10-7 with 11:02 left in the second quarter.

The top pick in the 2006 amateur draft, Hochevar (6-5) gave up three runs in the first two innings but none after that. He allowed eight hits over six innings, striking out five and walking one. Hochevar missed nearly three months this season with a right elbow sprain. Mitch Maier had a two-run single in Kansas City's four-run second. Betancourt walked with the bases loaded to force in Kila Ka'ailue with the first run of the inning. With Betancourt on third, Maier broke from first and Indians pitcher Josh Tomlin ran toward him. Betancourt took off for home and by the time Tomlin turned around and fired to the plate, Betancourt slid in ahead of the tag to give the Royals a 4-3 advantage. It was Betancourt's first stolen base of the season and the Royals' first steal of home since Alex Gordon did it on Aug. 2, 2009, at Tampa Bay. Kaaihue doubled home Billy Butler and Wilson Betemit in the sixth. YOUR#1 HIBACHI SPOT IN LAWRENCE 785 838 3399 KOBE across from Dellone KO BE We'll Rock Your Chalk. KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 / SPORTS / 3B SOCCER KANSAS 7 Missouri State 15 Karlie Brown/KANSAN Junior forward Kortney Clifton outpaces a Missouri State defender during the second half. Kansas dominated the offensive game with Clifton scoring both goals in the 2-0 victory. Team loses Friday but wins Sunday Clifton scores two goals in Sunday victory The Kansas soccer team ran into yet another overtime game Friday for its second overtime match in as many weeks. The result was the same as last week's game, as Wisconsin-Milwaukee's leading scorer, junior Sarah Hagen, was able to place a shot just above sophomore goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau's outstretched arms in the 96th minute to defeat Kansas 1-0. BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com The Jayhawks' best-scoring threat of the first half came in the 28th minute when junior forward Emily Cressy launched a shot off of the crossbar. Cressy also hit another one off the crossbar in the second half, which was accompanied by a couple shots by sophomore forward Whitney Berry that barely sailed over the goal. Coach Mark Francis also noted that the opportunities were there. "We were creating chances. We just have to finish them." Francis said. "We were creating chances, but 'definitely unlucky', Berry said. "We were good in the first half. We were absolutely pitiful in the second half. Game of two halves," he said. Francis also said the team's play wasn't consistent. This idea of finding a way to lose the game that likely sparked Francis' pregame speech for his team's matchup against Missouri State on Sunday. "My pregame speech to the team was,' Find a way to win.' That was it, and then I walked out," Francis said. Francis contributed the goal to a lack of focus. He also said that he felt that Kansas didn't get beat by Wisconsin-Milwaukee, but rather his team found a way to lose. "We just said, 'We are at home, this is our house, and we need to take the game to them,' Francis said. "I thought we did a good job of that." The layhawks did just that as they controlled the game and finished with a 2-0 victory. Kansas came out and was the aggressor, setting the pace from the beginning of the game. They outshot Missouri State 8-0 in the first half, and also accumulated six corner kicks compared to Missouri State's one. But Clifton didn't quit with one goal. She scored the game's second goal, and also her second of the season, from an assist by Berry in the 60th minute. Clifton said it felt good to get the goals and help her confidence before conference play. In the 8th minute junior forward Kortney Clifton was able to take advantage of sloppy play by the Missouri State defense. She stole it from the defender and converted it into a goal, her first of the season. "We came and we knew we needed to win everyone's energy was just really high." Clifton said. "I was excited for Kortney," Francis said. "Kortney played really well today, and I'm not just saying that because she scored the two goals. She made a lot of things happen and I think defensively, too, she battled really hard." "It has definitely given us momentum to keep going," she said. "We have grown a lot these past nine games as a team, so I think we are definitely ready and really excited." Liebetrau, helped by the Kansas defense allowing only six total shots, turned in her third shutout of the season and added four saves to her Big 12 leading save total, now at 51. "I thought we defended well, I thought we competed well," Francis said. "The kids did a pretty good job of executing the game plan." Clifton said this game helps them going into conference play. Kansas opens conference play on the road this weekend when they travel to Missouri on Friday and Iowa State on Sunday. Edited by Clark Goble At Peppertree, we take nothing for granted...

As a junior, Morozova went 10-13 and lead the team at the number one doubles spot. Kansas took an even worse loss early in the season with Paulina Los retiring during her finals match because of an injury. Kansas had two singles wins on the day, coming from Teagan Seeley and Monica Pezzotti. The Kansas tennis season kicked off Friday at the the Kansas Invitational in Lawrence. The Invitational was a four-tournament that included the University of South Dakota, UMKC and Saint Louis University. Consolation matches took place as teams looked for redemption. Kansas won a total of four consolation flights. Kate Goff and Victoria Khanevskaya won their doubles consolation flight, defeating a pair from South Dakota, 8-4. Things continued to go well for the Jawhaws on Saturday. It was a big start for Kansas, which is looking to hit the ground running to open the new season. The team certainly started well after the first two days of the Jayhawk Invitational. Kansas opened strongly on Friday, dominating in both doubles and singles. Victoria Khanevskaya who beat her SLU opponent 6-0, 6-1. Two Kansas doubles teams made it to the finals of their flights. Both of the doubles teams were composed of freshman who opened their collegiate career in a big way. The tandems of Dylan Windom with Paulina Los, and Amy Barnthouse with Teagan Seely advanced to the finals. The freshman standouts from day one took a tough loss in the finals of their flight, losing 8-3 to SLU. Kansas went 7-3 in their singles flights on Friday. There were many singles standouts, including Edited by Roshni Oommen GREEN BAY, Wis. — Clay Matthews knocked around another opposing offense, and this time the Green Bay Packers didn't allow any comebacks. NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS Matthews wreaks havoc, Packers win Aaron Rodgers threw for 255 yards, with touchdowns to Donald Linebacker Brandon Chillar and rookie safety Morgan Burnett intercepted Trent Edwards and the Driver and James Jones, and scrambled for another score, while Matthews had three sacks to lead a dominant defensive performance in the Packers' 34-7 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Packers (2-0) held the Bills to 186 yards of total offense. Fred jackson rushed for a touchdown, the only score of the game for Buffalo (0-2). Edwards was 11 of 18 for 102 yards. After missing most of training camp and all four preseason games with a hamstring injury, Matthews made several critical plays to help the Packers win their opener at Philadelphia last week. The Bills gained zero net yards in the first quarter but still managed to make it a game, going into halftime trailing 13-7. Rodgers' 7-yard touchdown pass to Driver for a 20-7 Packers lead.

"There is no doubt in my mind we are where we need to be. We've got to put it together. But the trick plays were good, they were nice. It was just a way to get us discombobulated." to get his discontent on Sophomore Toben Opurum, who rushed for 109 yards against the Golden Eagles last season in Lawrence, made his first appearance of the season at linebacker. By playing in the game, Opurum lost his eligibility to redshirt this season unless he gets injured. Opurum did not record a tackle in the contest. Backup sophomore quarterback Kale Pick did not see the field, but Webb seemed to be on a mission to prove he could carry the load on the ground himself. He rushed 12 times for 39 yards but netted only 10 yards because he lost 29 yards on sacks. "It's good to see him run, take off and move the chains if the opportunity presents itself." Gill said. "If you don't see a wide receiver open to go ahead and make a first down and he did that for us." Senior left guard Sal Capra was forced to move to center when senior Jeremiah Hatch left with a back injury in the second half. Capra was disappointed with the team's gaffes. Edited by Clark Goble "It surprised me," Capra said. "I mean, I thought we were going to come out and execute well and play hard and we just made too many mistakes." FLAWS (CONTINUED FROM 1B) THUMBS DOWN Inconsistency. The Jayhawks played down to their competition in week one, then played up to it in week two. In week three, it was somewhere in between. When you turn on next Saturday's game against New Mexico State, you won't have a clue what team will come out to play. It's been bad two out of three times. Speaking of consistency, isn't it funny that when the defense shows up to play, the offense is just dead? Then you look at Friday and the Jayhawks had some offense, but the defense was getting torched. The team is thin at linebacker and we have seen that the past couple weeks against heavy running teams. Also, you have to wonder about the receiving corps and who the go-to guy is. At this point, no one stands out as being that guy. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb has been solid, but he needs some help. At least junior tight end Tim Biere is catching passes now. THUMBS UP Hey, Kansas beat Georgia Tech, isn't that enough? That's still just one victory in the overall spectrum. The Jayhawks are criticized for having a lack of talent on the field compared with last year. Well, some guys are proving the gap isn't as vast as most thought. junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson has looked pretty explosive this season, even though he was held to 15 yards receiving Friday. His touchdown against Georgia Tech is by far the most exciting play for Kansas this year. Along with Patterson, sophomore D.J. Beshears is a dynamic return man. Senior Angus Quigley is a little nicked up, but the duo of Sims and freshman Deshaun Sands filled in admirably Satu: day. The running game seems to have plenty of capable leaders, and still room to grow. With 175 rushing yards in two games, freshman running back James Sims has done wonderful job starting the past two games. The coaches were wise Friday to not put sophomore quarterback Kale Pick in the game. It's not a knock on Pick, it just isn't productive to replace the starting quarterback, even if it's a wildcat formation. That formation doesn't work well anyway. Edited by David Cawthon FOOTBALL O-line fails to clear way for offense BY MAX VOSBURGH mvogsburgh@kansan.com A good offensive line normally goes unnoticed. They don't record stats like players on defense record tackles or other people on offense record yards. When an offense does well, the attention is usually towards the running backs, wide receivers and quarterback. When a team is struggling however, many of the team's problems can be traced back to the performance of the offensive offensive line. Such is the case with Kansas, who dropped to 1-2 after losing to Southern Miss 31-16 on Saturday. "I thought we had some opportunities. A lot on third and short we didn't capitalize." This inability to block cost the Jayhawks numerous opportunities on third down and short situations. The Jayhawks were only 9/19 on third down conversions. Quarterback Jordan Webb was hurried all game. He ended up being sucked four times, once on a big play on fourth down. He has been sacked 12 times already this season. "I thought we had some opportunities. A lot on third and short and we didn't capitalize," coach Turner Gill said. With 13:06 to play in the third quarter, center Jeremiah Hatch suffered a back injury. He left the game and was replaced by Capra who moved over from left guard while Duane Zlatnik came in to take his spot. really good job of protecting and at times we do a really bad job of保护ing," senior Sal Capra said. "I think we just really need to get some consistency up there." The Jayhawk offensive line struggled all night to create lanes for running back James Sims. Kansas ran the ball 44 times. Sims finished the night with 74 yards on 20 carries, a 3.7 yard average. Take away a 21-yard run by Sims and he would have only had 53 yards on 19 carries, a 2.8 yard average. Hatch started at center last week when Webb made his first start, but Webb had experience taking snaps from Capra against North Dakota State. "I think at times we do a TURNER GILL Coach ticeably drop off. The line adjusted to the change and productivity didn't no- "Well I played center all through camp and in the first game and I'm used to playing left guard so it wasn't too difficult," Capra said. Despite the struggles by the offensive line, Gill stuck with running and short-yard passing plays most of the game. "They were dropping a lot of guys, playing a lot of man," Webb said. "So that's kind of what you have to do as a quarterback. If they got us covered up you've got to take off with it." Still, the Jayhawks recognize the need to improve, not only by the lineman but by most people in general. “There's just a bunch of stuff we've got to work on and get better at.” Webb said.

Quote of the Game "Some of it was probably us, and some of it was a little Jordan. We were making our calls from the sideline and from upstairs and sometimes we were waiting too long to get the plays in. So some of that was we as coaches fault as far as when the clock was running down." A. E. Mbale — Coach Ternor Gill, on miscommunication between the coaching staff and freshman quarterback Jordan Webb Game Balls 3. Freshman running back Deshaun Sands: Sands rebounded nicely after missing last week with a leg injury. The son of former Jayhawk great Tony Sands ran the ball eight times for 34 yards and scored the only meaningful Kansas touchdown on an eight yard carry in the third quarter. 2. Senior strong safety Philip Strozier: Sure, it came on a hanging pass from a Southern Miss wide receiver, but Strozier's interception in the first quarter was impressive nevertheless. The one-armed grab would not have been possible if Strozier did not run full speed to the wide-open target. 1. Junior tight end Tim Biere:Biere showed off the amazing hands his teammates have said he has when he snagged a wild 25 yard pass from freshman quarterback Jordan Webb over a defender on an important third-and-nine play. Delay of Games 3. Senior running back Angus Quigley:Quigley rushed one time for five yards and whiffed on a key block that allowed Webb to be steam-rolled by a Southern Miss defender. He seems to be the odd man out in the backfield. 2. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb: Awareness was an issue all night for Webb, who seemed complacent when the play clock neared zero. The coaching staff took multiple timeouts to avoid delay of game penalties. Webb ran hard all night, but his inability to evade the sack and unawareness when it comes to the play clock burned the lahwacks 1. Kansas special teams: While the blocked punt near the end of the first half was not entirely senior punter Alonso Rojas' fault, it was the second blocked punt in three games for the Kansas special teams unit. They also botched a snap on an extra point attempt that would have brought the Jayhawks within 14 points. Play of the Game With the score still a respectable 14-3 late in the first half, the Kansas offense stalled deep in their own territory. Then, disaster struck for the second time in three weeks. The punting squelld another blocked punt to freshman cornerback Deron Wilson who returned it for a touchdown to make the score an embarrassing 21-3. The play was one of many embarrassing gaffes on national television. Game Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... Webb and freshman running back James Sims protected the ball well, and the Jayhawks did not commit a turnover on offense. THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY ... The Jayhawks did not commit any turnovers because they never took any risks. Their constant line of scrimmage screen passes were an infuriating sign that the team does not trust Webb, the supposedly cannon-armed quarterback. When the team finally did take a shot downfield they scored immediately on a 41 yard pass to senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson. The coaching staff is too conservative to score in this league. BIGGEST ANSWER Senior cornerback Chris Wilson played well, covering his assignments and notching his second sack of the season early in the third quarter. When Wilson blitzes, good things seem to happen. STILL QUESTIONING The defense once again produced mixed returns. Against the Southern Miss spread offense, they only allowed 34 yards to stud junior receiver DeAndre Brown. The run defense took a major step back one week after tying up Georgia Tech's triple option offense last week – the Golden Eagles' junior quarterback Austin Davis rushed nine times for 61 yards and a touchdown. LOOKING AHEAD GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID Original prediction: Kansas 27, Southern Miss 21. Actual score: Southern Miss 31, Kansas 16. Another week, another incorrect prediction. By definition, this team has to be called unpredictable, but that is starting to become a bad thing. Southern Miss ran the ball much more than expected and the Kansas defensive line was not ready. It's hard to predict games with special teams play as inconsistent as the Jayhawks. New Mexico State is next on tap for the Jayhawks at Memorial Stadium this Saturday. The Aggies (0-2) have allowed at least 40 points in each of their first two contests and rank 102nd in the FCS in overall rushing yards. Nothing is a guarantee for this Jayhawks team, but they should be able to win against the uninspiring Aqie offense. FINAL THOUGHT ... Whether it was the fault of the coaches or the quarterback, Kansas looked disjointed all evening against the Golden Eagles and their mostly docile audience. Southern Miss could not even sell out a nationally televised game but the offense still looked flustered. Performing so poorly against a spread offense is a bad omen for a team readying for Big 12 play.

Zarda finished in second with a time of 19.01.30. Jayhawks finish well on weekend CROSS COUNTRY BY LAUREN NEWMAN Inewman@kansan.com "This couple of weeks we have off is the time we can use to strengthen oursels," Zarda said. "We're just trying to stay positive during our hard workouts and continue to have our eye on our overall goal of going to nationals. If we just work hard every single day we're getting that much closer to that goal." "I think collectively as a team we had a strong showing and a lot of work during the summer has paid off. Overall we're happy but we're still looking forward to upcoming meets." Capriaro said. The cross country team has a two-week break between now and their next meet, but that isn't stopping it from turning up the heat during practices. The men's team is coming off a win after the Missouri Cross Country Challenge and hope to keep that momentum during the time off. Senior Nick Caprario, who made his first appearance at Saturday's meet and finished second overall, felt positive about the team's performance at the meet. One of the three captains, Caprario has assumed responsibilities and has possessed a clear position on the direction of the team. Junior Zach Zarda was hyped up after beating Missouri Aug. 12. Zarda, who placed fourth overall, felt that the Jayhawks' effort and hard work has begun to pay off. "As a team you can't really be upset about winning," he said. "We went out there and did exactly what we planned on doing." With two weeks until its next meet, Zarda knows how important it is not to lose the momentum and energy that the team has been bringing to the meets. "Communication is a big thing and we're making sure that even our younger guys are still on the same page and keep an overall positive attitude," Caprario said. "The freshmen are doing real well. They've come in and made an immediate impact and for them to come in and help us out is really big contribution." The women's team is also coming off a strong weekend. The women finished second at the meet, just six points back of Missouri. Sophomore Allie Marquis made her first appearance this year and placed second overall, with a personal best 5K time of 18:01.90. Marquis felt that her first race was an overall success for herself personally and for the team. "I trained really hard over the summer so I was pretty anxious to get out and see how I was going to run. I was pretty confident in my endurance and speed." Marquis said. Preparing for the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational has been tougher than previous practices but Marquis thinks that once they get the entire team out there, including senior Amanda Miller and juniors Rebeka Stowe and Kara Windisch, they will be pretty stacked competition. "We're focusing on working hard and knowing that we will have more of our team out there opposed to our two previous meets will add a lot because we've been successful without the full team," Marquis said. "So it is exciting to see how we will perform at our next meet."

Senior Nate Barbee will look to defend his last year's victory as the men's golf team hosts the Kansas Invitational today and tomorrow. Barbee shot under par in his final two rounds to win by six strokes in last year's event. Junior Doug Quinones returns to the lineup after placing second in last weeks Fairway Club Invitational in Nebraska City, Neb. Sophomore Chris Gilbert will also return to the lineup. He placed 22nd in the Fairway Club Invitational. Sophomore Alex Gutesha will make his first appearance of the year for the Jayhawks, after he competed in 12 tournaments last year as a freshman. "He is rolling it pretty well with the flat stick, which is always good," Grove said. "The winds are supposed to be up tomorrow which will help him because he hits a pretty low ball." Freshmen Bryce Brown will make his first appearance competing in a team competition for the Jayhawks. He competed as an individual in last weeks Fairway Club Invitational, where he tied for 13th place. "We are a little deeper than we have been in the past," said Grove. "Bryce played solid last week, finishing in the top 15, and Alex played in every event last year so he has some of the most D-1 experience on the team. It's time we put a little heat on them and see how they do under the gun." The Kansas Invitational will take place at the Jayhawks home course, Alvamar Public Golf Course.

On Texas Tech's first play from scrimmage, the snap went over the head of Potts and was recovered by Jackson Jeffcoat at the Red Raiders turnovers. Red Raiders cornerback Jarvis Phillips intercepted Gilbert twice and returned one 87 yards for a score. led him at the Texas Tech 14. The Longhorns got only a field goal, though.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2010 / SPORTS 7B CLUB SPORTS JACKSON Chris Neal/KANSAN FILE PHOTOS Kansas hockey players run through team drills during a practice last month. The Jayhawks lost to Nebraska 6-2, despite notching the games first goal less than four minutes into the game. Jayhawks score first, can't hold on for win Kansas falls to 0-6 on the year with loss BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com It was mayhem on ice. When the Kansas Jayhawks men's club hockey team took the ice yesterday against a tough University of Nebraska squad, the physical intensity could be heard miles away from the rink. The Jayhawks lost the game 6-2,but the score is not representative of the game that was played. From the opening faceoff the starting line of senior Price Duncan , junior Ryan Dunn, and sophomore Jake Mitchell came out head hunting. The trio, along with starting defensive pairing of junior Brendan Colbert and junior Kevin Kiske, made a strong opening statement. The layhawks opened up the scoring just 3:22 into the first period, with a power play goal by Mitchell. Mitchell fired a shot from the top of the right circle that sneaked through the five hole of Nebraska goalie Chris Taylor. Unfortunately for Kansas, the Huskers answered within three minutes on a deflection in front of goalie senior Lukas Renard. also on a power play. The game took a turn for the worse for Kansas after the goal, as the Huskers would pile on four more unanswered goals. While the team did suffer two losses this past weekend, assistant coach Mike Berard is trying to make sure that the team knows the position they are in. "The season While an 0-6 record is not the start that any team looks for, the Jayhawks can be potential to turn the on both ends of the ice," Berard said. the season is still young, after the games we just want to make sure that the guys understand responsibility "In the offensive zone we controlled the puck real good, that's not the problem." season around. MIKE BERARD Assistant coach Throughout the game a g a i n s t Nebraska on Sunday, the team was composed in the offensive zone and effectively worked the cycle, with crisp puck movement from the point on down. their in-zone offense working. Berard saw room for improvement in breakout and neutral zone play. Although the Jayhawks had "In the offensive zone we controlled the puck real good, that's not the problem," Berard said. "For us the problem is gaining the offensive zone. It was our power play breakout where we had a tough time finding the open guy to speed through the neutral zone to gain the offensive zone." With two practices this week before traveling to Lindenwood University, the Jayhawks look to correct their faults and get on the winning track. Edited by Tim Dwyer NFL Five field goals carry Cincinnati past Baltimore ASSOCIATED PRESS CINCINNATI — Instead of watching a game, Mike Nugent got a chance to win one. The kicker who spent most of last season watching from home had the best day of his career on Sunday. He made all five of his field goal tries, sending the Cincinnati Bengals to a 15-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens that extended their domination of the AFC North. Instead of Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco, the star of this one was the kicker. "Hey Hollywood!" holder Kevin Huber called out to him in the locker room. Nugent's perfect day made the difference in a game dominated by the defenses. He was cut by Tampa Bay early last season and learned what it's like to be out of a job in the NFL. "It was something to experience firsthand, sitting on Sundays watching people do a job you want to be in." Nugent said. "You realize there's a lot of people watching on Sundays who want your job." The former Ohio State kicker watched the Bengals (1-1) make the playoffs last season by running the table in their division, going 6-0 for the first time in franchise history. Cincinnati has won its past eight division games, a club record. "It's always been this way for the past 10 years I've played against them," receiver Chad Ochocinco said. "It's never been a blowout. It's always close. I don't know why the games are always like that. It's extremely frustrating from a skill position set, but I think the linemen and the defense enjoy games like this. And the defense really saved us today." 10-9 win — the same score it beat the Jets by on Monday night — after Billy Cundiff kicked a 38-yarder with 5:46 to go. The Ravens (1-1) couldn't pull one out despite another brilliant day by their defense, which hasn't allowed a touchdown in its past 10 quarters including the playoffs. Baltimore was in position for a Two big plays set up Nugent's decisive kicks. Bernard Scott returned the ensuing kickoff 60 yards to set up Nugent's go-ahead kick from 38 yards. Linebacker Brandon Johnson then intercepted Joe Flacco and returned it to the Ravens 11-yard line, giving Nugent a chance for his decisive fifth kick with 24-8 left. NFL Talib gets first pick of 2010 Bucs win ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE, N.C. Josh Freeman and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers continued to show remarkable growth. The Carolina Panthers remained in disarray, and may be ready to turn permanently to their own young quarterback. Freeman returned to the site of the worst game of his brief pro career and threw for 178 yards and two touchdown passes in Tampa Bay's 20-7 win over Carolina on Sunday to give the Buccaneers their first 2-0 start in five years. A year after starting 0-7 and just over nine months removed from Freeman's five-interception nightmare against Carolina, the second-year quarterback avoided any big mistakes or turnovers. The miscues were made by the bumbling Panthers (0-2), who couldn't move the ball as Matt Moore had two more turnovers and was benched for rookie Jimmy Clausen in the fourth quarter. Freeman threw touchdown passes to Earnest Graham and rookie Mike Williams, and also scrambled for 43 yards on four carries for the Bucs, who were 3-13 last season. But in just the second year of their youth movement, the Buccaneers appear on the right path. After beating Cleveland with a solid second-half defensive effort in Week 1, Tampa Bay held Carolina's running game in check to end a three-game skid against the Panthers. Moore threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Steve Smith for Carolina, but had an interception and lost a fumble on a sack leading to his benching early in the fourth quarter after completing just 6 of 16 passes for 125 yards. Clausen completed that many passes on his first drive, but it ended with Jonathan Stewart stuffed shy of the goal line. Clausen was picked off by Aqib Talib in the final minutes and finished 7 of 13 for 59 vards. That would be all Tampa Bay would need with Carolina's anemic offense. KANSANCLASSIFIEDS housing SALE ...

Eating fruit has major health benefits, but college students aren't getting enough 's BY KELLY STRODA kstroda@kansan.com If you're anything like other college-aged students around the country, there's about a 70 percent chance you don't eat fruit at least twice a day. And as far as veggies go, there's an 80 percent chance you're not getting at least three servings daily. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed what most college students know they're guilty of: skimping on their fruits and veggies. "Slicing up watermelon isn't high up on our list of things to do," she said. Sarah Kormanik, a senior from Overland Park, said she thought college kids may not eat a lot of fruits and vegetables because they were brought up wanting fast and convenient food options. But it's not just college kids. It's America. In 2000, the CDC set an objective that 75 percent of adults would eat the recommended intake of daily fruit and 50 percent would eat the recommended intake of daily vegetables by this year. The state of Kansas, though, is worse than most of the country. According to the report, only 23.8 percent of the state's residents eat the recommended amount of fruit each day. Kansas is the fourth lowest fruit-consuming state in the nation. The study also shows that only 26 percent of Kansans eat vegetables. Ten years later, no state has met thi goal. For the other nearly three-quarters of people who don't get their daily produce, the consequences could be serious later in life. betes or cancers, said Ann Chapman, dietitian with the Wellness Resource Center at Watkins Memorial Health Center. But making someone in their 20s care about what could happen to them in 20 years isn't the said. "It just makes sense that if our diets are richer in produce, it would reduce our calorie overall intake." ANN CHAPMAN Dietitian This could include heart problems, dia- Mason Young, a freshman from Derby, said he worried about problems later in life because of issues he has seen with both his family and Americans in general. But he said he still only eats fruit every other day and knows he doesn't eat enough vegetables. "I'm just not a big fan," So what's something that students may care about? Weight control, Chapman said, can prompt many students to consider eating fruit regularly. She said there's a direct link between gaining weight and not eating enough produce. Fruits and vegetables are 85 to 90 percent water and fiber. "It it just makes sense that if our diets are richer in produce," Chapman said, "it would reduce our calorie overall intake." She said if you envision a person's plate at a meal, the plate is usually half of meat and half of a starchy food. They have little water or fiber, so we digest them almost completely. Instead a plate should be one-half fruits and vegetables, one-quarter lean meat or protein and one-quarter a whole grain. Chapman said fitting produce into your diet doesn't have to be inconvenient. "It's a misconception that produce has to be fresh to be good for you," she said. She said canned or frozen fruits and vegetables could be just as nutritious. — Edited by Roshni Oommen NEED A REFRESHER?

Stores such as Hy-Vee, Walgreens and CVS, among others, are recruiting people to get vaccinated. Getting vaccinated this early in the fall, however, could be more harmful than helpful. Patricia Denning, the chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said these big pharmacies are more worried about making money than keeping people healthy. "There's no real urgency to the situation," Denning said. "I think it's being created by marketing and money" Chris Branson/KANSAN As outside of Walgreens advertises availability of flu shot vaccines. Flu shot vaccinations are now available at all Walgreens locations daily. $ \textcircled{1} $ While Denning said she does recommend that all college students get vaccinated, she recommends that people don't get vaccinated until late October or early November. The immunity that the flu shot provides individuals typically lasts five to six months. She warned if a student gets vaccinated too early, then their immunity may wane in early spring, when influenza is still active, students miss classes and fall behind. Despite recommendations from health officials like Denning, Aliza Chudnow, a junior from Dallas, said she wasn't planning on getting the flu shot. "I've never really thought about getting it," Chudnau said. "I don't think I've ever gotten the flu. I guess I'm pretty lucky." Denning said the lifestyle most college students lead puts them at a higher risk for catching the flu. The desks in Budig Hall could be crawling with germs left behind from the students who used them an hour before. Often, students are crammed into lecture halls with other students who might have the flu. Denning also listed inadequate sleep as one of the major culprits. Chris Bronson/KANSAN In addition to getting the flu vaccine, students can take other steps to help protect them from the virus. Denning recommended students eat nutritious foods, refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol and get plenty of sleep. "Pulling an all-nighter is the fastest way to get yourself sick," Denning said. 12 Garret Rainbolt, a senior from Larned, said he would be relying on his daily routine, rather than the vaccine, to protect him from the virus. "I drink orange juice in the morning and I walk to campus." Larned said. "I don't ever really get sick." Flu shot clinics will go from Oct. 19 to Nov. 11 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The locations have not yet been confirmed. Flu shots will cost $15 and the nasal mist will cost $20.50. — Edited by Sean Tokarz 2A NEWS / TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure."

Edited by Joel Petterson TECHNOLOGY Phones with text messaging abilities increase quality of life for the deaf ASSOCIATED PRESS TALLADEGA, Ala. — Quietly over the last decade, phones that make text messaging easy have changed life profoundly for millions of deaf people. Visit the Alabama School for the Deaf, and it's impossible to miss the signs of a revolution that many hearing people simply never noticed. Most everyone at the school in Talladega has at least one hand-held texting device, and some have two. For the first time, a generation of deaf people can communicate with the world on its terms, using cell phones, BlackBerrys or iPhones, of which some 260 million are in use in the United States. Without his handheld, Walter Ripley said he would be back to "I don't have to depend on hearing people. It makes me a lot more independent. I don't have to ask people to call for me. Asking for people to call can be very frustrating," said Ripley, the school's athletic director. relying on others for even basic communication. And texting is less work, said Ripley, 54. Machines linked to landlines are still used, as are services involving operators who interpret for the deaf during phone conversations, plus e-mail and video phone calls. But advocates for the deaf say life began changing rapidly after 1999, when the first BlackBerry was introduced by Canadian manufac- "I don't have to depend on hearing people.

ODD NEWS French amputee swims across strait WISSANT, France — Just days after swimming across the English Channel, quadruple amputee Philippe Croizon is already dreaming of a new challenge: crossing from Europe to Africa in the Strait of Gibraltar. Croizen, who swims using leg prostheses with fins attached, also has an inspirational message for anyone discouraged or facing difficulties. "You only need to want (something), and then it becomes possible to go beyond your limits," he told Associated Press Television News on Monday, two days after crossing the English Channel, which is 21 miles at its narrowest point. Croizen, 42, had expected his weekend swim from Britain to France to take up to 24 hours. Instead, he reached the cliffs of Wissant in northern France after only 13 and a half hours. He uses specially designed leg protheses, which end in fins, to propel himself through the water. His truncated upper arms go through the motions of the crawl, and he breathes through a snorkel. The swimmer's arms and legs were amputated after he suffered an electric shock in 1994 as he stood on a ladder adjusting his television antenna, which touched a power line. While he was recovering, he saw a news report about an English Channel crossing. "I watched the TV screen and said to myself, 'Why not me?' he said. Croizon said he hopes to be able to cross the Strait of Gibraltar between Spain and Morocco, perhaps in a year or two after more training to adapt to the different conditions there. While the strait, at about 14 kilometers (9 miles) at its shortest point, is shorter than the English Channel, it has busy traffic and strong currents. He said the main message of his cross-Channel endeavor is that "we can all make it." t f t Get the latest news and give us your feedback by following The Kansan on Twitter @TheKansan.News, or become a fan of The University Daily Kansan on Facebook.

KZOO's mission is to serve, support and celebrate animals. The key word is celebrate, said Jon Sabillon, director of KZOO and a senior from Lawrence. He said the group planned to host many more events similar to Wild Wescoe Wednesdays in the future to promote awareness of animals.

Velasco said he hoped to bring koalas and other exotic animals to the University to "brighten every person's day." Jono Bowles, a senior from Lawrence, said KZOO doesn't bring animals only for awareness, but also to help students cope with being away from the pets at home. He said many students were forced to leave pets at home, which can cause them stress. KZOO wants to fill this void, Bowles said. "We always thought that animals perpetuated people to be happy," Bowles said. "Animals are just so cute." Students can join KZOO by becoming an animal ambassador to help spread the word about various events. Sabillon said KZOO hoped to have an animal ambassador for every student group to promote all the events the group is hosting. Students can also visit KZOO's website at www.rockchalkzoo.com to join the herd. One of the upcoming events this semester is Animal House, a night of Panda-monium, during which students will dress up as their favorite animals and raise money for the Humane Society and Midnight farm. Details of this event are still in the works, Sabillon said. "There's just something about being able to connect with an animal." Bowles said. "It's just great."

NATIONAL Hurricane Karl leads to flooding along Texas and Mexico coasts Waters rise in the Corpus Christi area, leading to rescue efforts ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN ANTONIO — Relentless rainfall brought partly from Hurricane Karl caused widespread problems along the Texas coast on Monday, leaving at least one person missing in high floodwaters, schools closed and raw sewage gushing from an overwhelmed city sewer system. One driver in Corpus Christi dialed 911 while being swept away in a swollen creek, but the call went dead before authorities could located the caller. Near the Texas- Mexico border, emergency crews went door-to-door in some Cameron County neighborhoods flooded with 2 to 3 feet of water, asking families if they wanted help out. Joel Veeneman said. "There's no way for the ground to absorb anymore." Karl made landfall on Mexico's Gulf Coast on Friday, soaking Veracruz. Puebla and Tabasco states in the south-central part of the country. At least 12 people in the country have been killed. The rainfall in Texas wasn't directly from Karl but that the storm's moisture helped make for a "perfect combination," Veeneman said. Corpus Christi waded through the worst of the downpour. Even "All you see is cars on the side of the road, or in the middle of the road." LIONEL LOPEZ Advocate for Corpus Christi resi dents There were no evacuation orders Monday, but officials had helped at least 30 people to safety, Cameron County emergency management coordinator Johnny Cavazos said. "You want out or you want to stay?" a rescue worker with Cavazos hollered to a family. "Any rain that falls now will go directly into the runoff." National Weather Service meteorologist more showers were on the way, expected to continue at least through Wednesday and exacerbate flooding that had already triggered a small number of evacuations. Oso Creek was at least 8 feet above flood stage, and forecasters predicted it could reach record-breaking heights. More than 7 inches of rain was reported over a 24-hour period through early Monday in Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley, which is enduring yet another soaking after being lashed by Hurricane Alex and two other tropical systems. It was in Oso Creek where the missing driver called for help after the rushing water pick up his small car, Coast Guard Lt. Mary Arvidson said. By late Monday, Arvidson said the Coast Guard had suspended their search while local crews continued looking. The missing driver was at least the second distress call for the Coast Guard since rain began pounding the Texas shoreline this weekend. Crews also rescued two boaters Sunday whose 18-foot skiff took on too much water near Port O'Connor. Nearly a dozen school districts canceled classes Monday as the rain made bus routes on flooded streets impassable, and a flash flood watch was in effect through Monday night for 11 counties off the Texas coast. Pressure from heavy rains on an aging sewer system in Corpus Christi led to another problem: more than 100,000 gallons of raw sewage that overflowed from a manhole. City officials said the heavy rain diluted the gushing sewage enough to eliminate any risk of health hazards. Some residents living near the treatment plant described it differently. "This is just disgusting," homeowner Denise Bates told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. "We've actually seen feces floating by." Farther out in Nueces County, residents in the impoverished area were stranded by flooding in their slapdash communities that lack drainage and other basic infrastructure. About 60 homes in the same area were flooded after a downpour in July, said Lionel Lopez, a local advocate for the residents. Monday's flooding was "three times as worse." Lopez said. Earlier this month, flooding caused by remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine killed at least eight people, including seven in Texas. "People can't get out, and we can't get in to help them," he said. "All you see is cars on the side of the road, or the middle of the road." NATIONAL Man faces federal charges for Chicago bomb attempt ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — A man arrested for allegedly placing a backpack he thought contained an explosive near the Chicago's Wrigley Field also talked about poisoning Lake Michigan, bombing a landmark skyscraper and assassinating Mayor Richard Daley, according to a federal complaint filed Monday. Sami Samir Hassoun, 22. a Lebanese citizen living in Chicago, was charged with one count each of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted use of an explosive device. "He wanted to transform the city of Chicago, he wanted to make a statement and he wanted to replace the mayor of Chicago," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Grant. "He was unhappy with the way the city was running. He was also unhappy with things that were happening in other parts of world." At a brief hearing Monday, Hassoun quietly told U.S. Judge Susan Cox that he understood the charges. Hassoun's federally appointed public defender Dan McLaughlin, declined to comment on the case, as did several family members who attended the hearing. A message left on an answering machine at Hassoun's home telephone number wasn't returned. An FBI informant tipped investigators about Hassoun nearly a year ago, the agency said. Grant said Hassoun acted alone and that the undercover agents told him they were from California and unaffiliated with any group. He declined to offer specific details about Hassoun's motivations, but said believed the agents were ready to give him money if he carried out the attack. Hassoun was arrested early Sunday after planting the fake explosive device — which was given to him by an undercover agent — in a trash receptacle near Sluggers World Class Sports Bar, a popular bar steps from Wrigley Field, Grant said. The Cubs were not playing at their home field; the stadium hosted Dave Matthews Band concerts Friday and Saturday nights. Hassoun on one occasion told an FBI informant he wanted to paralyze commerce in the city, according to the complaint against him. Asked how he intended to carry out various suggested attacks, Hassoun responded, "You park the car, and let it go 'boom,'" the complaint says. Hassoun's alleged plots — including talk of plans to unleash a biological virus on Chicago — ranged during the investigation.

They are all hilarious. Animal. Voter anger better aimed at poor economic policy GOVERNMENT hate to lose out a lot of anger. Some are thinking the unthinkable: giving the congressional keys back to corporate America's designated driver, the Republicans. After decades of financial deregulation spearheaded by Reagan-holics, the barons of Wall Street cannibalized themselves in 2008, nearly causing a fiscal Armageddon. Wall Street executives have long since rebounded, but many Americans are still struggling to keep their homes and put food on the table because work remains elusive. One in seven adults receives food stamps. More and more families are calling homeless shelters home; and the number of Americans living under the poverty line is at a 15-year high. Not to mention, a decade's worth of economic growth disappeared — economically, we're partying like it's 1999. Americans are angry, and they have a right to be. It was morally reprehensible when Wall Street executives profited off the bonfire they created with the 401ks of teachers and others in the public sector. Their bonuses made crystal clear how little the super rich care about the rest of us. Many Americans are desperate, and the deficit-hawks, who pave the road for corporate excess, prey on public fear. This desperation is playing out on the national and local stage. By sowing seeds of anti-government discontent, neoconservatives hide their ulterior motives. Republicans hope to capitalize on these sentiments by staying out to the way—classic Republicanism. According to a recent article in The Kansas City Star, (between CENTER FOR CRIME SOLUTIONS Starting the Conversation These conservative extremists dress up like G.I. Joe, chase Charlie in the woods and share conspiracy theories over smores—conspiracy theories that would make Holden Caulfield blush, such as the government plans to build concentration camps to house citizens and control the population through mass starvation. BY D.M. SCOTT dscott@kansan.com the 2008 and 2009) the number of militias tripled. Lance Garrison created the Kansas State Militia two years ago. He said their activities, which include performing tracheotomies on pig throats, are harmless. Experts believe the group's paramilitary training is based on the belief that the government is coming to get them. Republicans and the militias' kissing cousin, the Tea Party, have been banging a similar drum: Our anti-colonial, Kenyan president won't be satisfied until he crushes liberty with his socialist agenda, which includes providing health care to those in need, trying to hold Wall Street barons accountable for the mess they created and eliminating the free ride the richest Americans enjoy through the Bush tax cuts. Does this paranoia sound familiar? It should. Underneath, the paranoia and conspiracy theories lies a darker agent. Hanging around the campfire, underneath the camouflage (I hate to mention the value of stimulus spending, The Kansas Militia might come and get me.) face paint, sits an alienated Timothy R. McVeigh in the making. And behind Tea Party foot soldiers are their billionaire supporters—Rupert Murdoch and David and Charles Koch—who won't hesitate to sacrifice what's good for the whole to protect what's best for a few. In an effort to protect their wealth, calculating corporate elites have stolen the political narrative by rallying angry Americans against Obama and his grandma-ating government by shouting "Socialism!" and whispering "Hussein." These corporate elites are using their foot soldiers to put back in power their real henchmen, the politicians on Capitol Hill whose pockets they line with golf money, so they can obstruct financial reform, unemployment benefits and environmental laws—or anything else that stands in their way of corporate interests. When Republicans talk about the Big Government's restriction of liberty, whose liberty are they really talking about? Unless you're in the top two percent, not yours. This election cycle is not about Socialism. It's not about stopping an out-of-control government. It's about continuing to extricate ourselves out from underneath the economic rubble caused by the greedy executives and their powerful friends on Capitol Hill. Voters want to beat up on the politicians, but it would be counterproductive to give congressional majority to those who share deregulation philosophies that got us where we are today. Unfortunately, it's hard to be reasonable when you're mad as hell. D. M. Scott is a junior from Overland Park in journalism. LETTER RESPONSE OKAY, PLEDGES. YOU WILL EACH BE ASSIGNED A BIG BROTHER.

TMI "Little Scottie" comic as it appeared Tuesday, September 14. Illustrator and writer respond to accusations of stereotyping Contrary to what some are suggesting after last Tuesday's "Little Scottie" comic, we are not homophobic bigots with an axe to grind. In fact, we agree that "the heterosexual community often hypersexualizes the queer community in order to vilify them." There is one problem. We are not part of the heterosexual community. We're gay. Being gay, however, should not compel us to agree with gay or "gay-friendly" organizations any more than being American should compel us to agree with our government. Our freedom to disagree is the very essence of our First Amendment. Some people may view such dissent as disloyalty, but we believe it is not only our right but also our duty to express our dissatisfaction with organizations and institutions. "Gay-friendly" fraternities are inherently focused on differences. Otherwise, why would they need to exist? Ideally, they shouldn't, but that is not the objective of these groups. encouraging more division based on sexual orientation rather than less. Many people, including us, simply refuse to allow our sexuality to dictate our identities, either personally or socially. They instead undermine the pursuit of LGBT equality by As for the comic itself, we write and draw our comics between four and six weeks before they run in The Kansan. We developed this year's storylines for "Little ire, not of any specific fraternity but of a general idea. We held up a mirror to something we are critical of, and it seems that a lot of people did not like the reflection they saw.

We already did a rush-themed comic that ran in The Kansan on July 21, 2010, where more members of the fraternity are shown, many of whom are not "older, hairy and more muscular." The comic in question is a sat- not be based on specific people, but they are a reflection of our own experiences and observations. So, if the language used by our characters is too "unintelligent, unmasculine and immature," maybe it's time for gay students to rethink their behavior. If we're hypersexualizing gay people, perhaps try not swoon over every attractive straight guy on campus. To those who disagree, look around. If anyone is perpetuating stereotypes, it's not us. -Todd Pickrell and Scott Winer illustrate and write, respectively, the "Little Scottie" comic that appears in The Kansan. SEXUALITY Friends with benefits can work with clear boundaries For those who just want sex there are one-night stands. For those who want commitment, trust and sex, there are relationships. And for those who want sex but not without trust, there are friends with benefits. Friends with benefits, or FWBs, are common among college-age adolescents, according to Michael Castleman from Psychology Today. As a reason for this behavior, he cites the lower sexual experience level among young adults with a desire to experiment. Having read through many online reader comments on this topic, I noticed that most of them discourage FWBs and cite many examples of (predominantly) girls falling in love and then being crushed when their friend doesn't feel the same. I'm not surprised. Not because FWBs inevitably lead to disaster, but because people don't feel the need to share as much when they're comfortable with a situation, but rather when there are problems. Surveys show a different picture. FWB situations don't necessarily lead to a broken friendship or a broken heart. One 2009 survey, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, has shown that 81 percent of those who have been involved in an FWB said that friendship doesn't have to be over when you stop having sex, while only 62 percent overall say it is possible to remain friends while also having sex. Friendships that involve sex can be tricky. The lines between friendship, affair and relationship are blurry because feelings of closeness, passion, fun and love are closely related. In this short column, I won't go into the details of how relationships work, but I think it's a mixture of sexual attraction, mutual interests and circumstances that makes a relationship work. A friendship contains at least one of those attributes. When you add sex, you already have two attributes. It's not surprising then that relationships can develop among FWBs in the right circumstances. Those circumstances, however, have to be present in both people. Yet, FWBs often happen when people want sex and closeness without the constraints and responsibilities of a relationship. Both sides are merely using each other to satisfy their needs, which is OK if both get what they want. However, if one person changes his or her mind and wants something else, you I am a professional graphic designer who specializes in creating visually appealing designs for websites, magazines, and packaging.

Let's Talk about Sex BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI chledowksi@kansan.com What do I want? can end up with a broken heart, a feeling of shame, and maybe a broken friendship. If you're thinking about starting a FWB relationship, ask yourself these questions: If you just want the sex and a little cuddling, FWB can be good for you. But if you're also looking for someone to spend time with instead of being alone, don't do it. Once you start to plan activities that seem like dates, for example having dinner and then going to your place, you blur the lines between your friend and your date. What is the nature of our friendship? Who else is involved? Why are you friends in the first place? And for how long? If you're not best friends yet, or even close, your stakes are not too high. You still have a chance to develop a closer friendship if a FWB doesn't work out between you. But if you're close friends already, you might never get the same closeness back. If you're both in the same group of friends, consider that you could hurt more than one person in the end. Be prepared to face your ex-FWB and hang out with him or her after you've ended it. If you think you can't, don't even start anything. What type of relationships have I been in so far? If you've only been in short- or long-term relationships before and never in one only meant for sex, maybe you shouldn't try something new with a friend. You're more likely not the type for sex without commitment. If you want to experiment and find out if you could handle it, try someone you can end things with more smoothly. Bottom line: FWBs can work, but only if both sides know what they're doing. Be aware of the risks and face problems or pain if it comes up. The key is communication (and condoms).

A / NEWS / TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM HOUSING GSP will shift into a co-ed dorm after renovations ARTICLE CENTER Chris Bronson/KANSAN Gertrude Sellards Pearson Hall, 500 W. 11th St., is transforming to a co-ed residence hall. Renovations are scheduled to begin Spring 2011 and be completed by July 2011. Upon completion, GSP will reopen, housing both men and women, separated by floors. BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com Both women and men will move their belongings into Gertrude Sellars Pearson Hall, 500 W.11th St., starting in the fall of 2012. The hall will become coeducational after other renovations to the 55-year-old residence hall. The proposal was sent to the Board of Regents for approval nearly two years ago. Diana Robertson, director of Student Housing, said the decision was made for two reasons. The first, she said, was because there have been fewer and fewer requests for single-gender housing. The second reason was the dining center. Robertson said women eat less regularly and just less food than men. So the way to make the GSP/ Corbin Dining Hall more viable is to add men to the dormitory. And there are some other advantages to opening the dormitory to men. "Going coed couldn't be a bad thing," said Laura Beth Shartzer, a senior from Roeland Park and a former GSP resident. "It'll be a chance to get to know more people. It will also allow for a better mix of greeks and non-greeks." The dormitory will also go through extensive renovations. Robertson said the occupancy will decrease from the current 420 to 377. The renovation calls for more suite-style rooms and studio rooms to be installed. She said the renovation is expected to cost $13.1 million. Jennifer Wamelink, associate director for residence life, added that GSP will be closed during the renovation. women. Nearby Corbin Hall will become the only residence hall on campus not open to both men and "I wanted to live in Corbin because it's all-girls and a lot of girls go through recruitment together," said Megan Sullivan, a freshman from Overland Park and a Corbin resident. "Some people might feel uncomfortable having the connected dining halls when Corbin is just for girls, though." Jayhawker Tower D will also be remodeled next year, and after that work is scheduled to begin on McCollum Hall.

Nurse discharged from Air Force for being gay sues, takes a stand In pointed cross-examination, Justice Department lawyer Peter Phipps noted Monday that Witt had engaged in an adulterous relationship with a married civilian woman in 2003. The woman, now divorced, is still Witt's partner, but the Air Force argues that Witt's disregard for policy in committing adultery set a bad example for others in the unit and justifies her dismissal. "It's what I've spent over half my life training to do," Witt testified, her voice breaking. "I miss being able to be the one that that soldier looks at and I can do something for him. I'm not complete, and it kills me to not be there." Proponents believe another big legal victory would build momentum for a congressional repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," the 1993 law that prohibits the military from asking about the sexual orientation of service members but requires discharge of those who ac- Witt joined the Air Force in 1987 and later became a flight nurse, helping to care for and evacuate soldiers wounded in Afghanistan. She was suspended in 2004 when the Air Force investigated her for violating "don't ask, don't tell."

The case has been closely watched by those on both sides of the gay rights debate. MILITARY The Air Force maintains that Witt's firing was justified, and the appeals court ruling was out of line with 9th Circuit and Supreme Court precedent. ASSOCIATED PRESS Earlier this month, a federal judge in California ruled that "don't ask, don't tell" violates the due process and free speech rights of service members. That opinion has no direct bearing on Witt's case. Her lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of "don't ask, don't tell." In 2008, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals considering the case held that the military couldn't discharge someone for being gay unless it demonstrated the firing was necessary to further military goals. TACOMA, Wash. — A decorated Air Force Reserve flight nurse discharged for being gay took the witness stand at her federal trial Monday and told the judge it "kills me" not to be able to care for wounded soldiers while the country is at war. Former Maj. Margaret Witt has sued the Air Force in hopes of being reinstated. The case returned to U.S. District Court in Tacoma, where Judge Ronald B. Leighton must determine whether Witt's firing met that standard. Leighton heard No one in her unit or any of her patients ever expressed concern about her sexual orientation, she told the judge. "You agree that adultery is not consistent with high standards of integrity, correct?" Phipps asked. "Yes." Witt responded. knowledge being gay or are found to engage in homosexual activity The government also argues that Witt acknowledged being homosexual to some of her close friends in the unit, forcing them to choose between loyalty to her and to Air Force policy. NATIONAL Police find missing people to be a misunderstanding PALMDALE, Calif. — Families of the missing fretted. Deputies fanned out across the high desert on horses and in helicopters. Neighbors marveled at the commotion of patrol cars and satellite trucks that appeared suddenly in their quiet streets. "I guess it was a misunderstanding, and I'm sorry about that," Martha Clavel, 39, told KNX radio about 24 hours she and the other three adults and nine children were reported missing by worried husbands. The only people who seemed to take the disappearance of 13 adherents of a breakaway religious sect in stride were the members themselves, who were found enjoying the afternoon in leisure and praver in a park Sunday. ASSOCIATED PRESS "These letters read like a will and testament. They read like goodbye letters," said sherriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. "Coupled with the two husbands that come in and tell us 'Our wives are missing, we believe they are under the spell of this lady,' deputies had no choice but to treat the matter seriously, said Whitmore. Before Sunday, when the group of El Salvadoran immigrants were found just before noon at Jackie Robinson Park near Palmdale, they were last seen very early Saturday by a sheriff's deputy who discovered them praying in their parked vehicles outside of a Palm-dale high school. The two men showed deputies letters saying the group was awaiting an apocalyptic event and would soon see Jesus and their dead relatives in heaven. They accused the group's purported leader, 32-year-old Reyna Marisol Chicas, of "brainwashing" members of the group based in Palmdale, a northeast Los Angeles County city of 139,000. When the deputy made contact, adults in the group told him they By the next morning, up to 70 deputies were combing over a 700 square mile checkerboard of suburban neighborhoods, unfinished subdivisions, weed-covered lots and desert wilderness in search of the missing group members. But others sketched her as a virtual shut-in, whose children never joined other neighborhood kids in play and who often held late-night multigenerational gatherings in her home. On Chicas' usually quiet street, neighbors craned their necks at the deputies and reporters gathered outside her seemingly empty two-story gray stucco home. "She was really quiet. She kept to herself," said across the street neighbor Cheri Kofahl, who saw "That's our husband. When you go somewhere overnight, you don't know what's going to happen to you right?" Alma Miranda Pleitez told KNX radio at the park shortly after she was found. "So you leave your information to your husband." Later in the afternoon, the two men reported the members missing. Some described her as a friendly and devout — if somewhat hapless — woman who was devoted to her two young children, a boy and a girl. were praying against violence in schools and against sexual immorality, specifically premarital sex. In a purse that one member left with her husband, investigators found cell phones, identifications, deeds to property, and letters indicating the adherents were awaiting the Rapture. Group member Alma Miranda Pleitez, 28, said fears for their safety were unfounded. Pastor Felipe Vides, whose 400-member parish consists mostly of immigrants from Latin America, said Chicas left the congregation about two years ago without much explanation. About six months ago, the group had planned to head to Vasquez Rocks, a wilderness area near Palmdale, to await a catastrophic earthquake or similar event, but one member of the group revealed details of the trip to relatives, Parker said. The trip was called off and the member kicked out. The adults, who expressed shock at the notion that they might harm themselves, formed a caravan of two minivans and a pickup truck and presumably returned to their worried families. Authorities had known of Chicas' group before this weekend's incident. "She appeared normal, calm. We didn't see anything strange," Vides said. groups of 12 to 15 adults and children gather in Chicas' home several times over the summer. This time, the episode ended when deputies, after a tip from a local resident, arrived at the park and found the children playing on swings and the adults on a blanket praying out loud in Spanish. But Deputy Thomas Kim said Chicas was held for a mental evaluation after authorities determined she was not able to care for herself or others. Before apparently forming her own religious group, Chicas was a member of Iglesia De Cristo Miel, a Christian congregation that meets in a large tan church building with a sloping tile roof beside an empty lot in a Palmdale neighborhood. One night, about a week ago, the group didn't leave until 2 a.m., Kofahl said. At Per we E 1, 2 & $550 At Peppertree, we take nothing for granted...

She told deputies she had no children, even though her two kids were with her. The children were in sheriff's protective custody Sunday afternoon, Kim said. News that the group was found safely came as Whitmore was briefing reporters on the ongoing search. He had just answered a question about Chicas' relationship with her former church when a deputy pulled him aside and whispered in his ear. Relief washed over his face as he struggled not to grin. "Ladies and gentlemen, we just found them," he said, allowing his face to break into a smile. "They are alive and well." KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 / SPORTS 7A COLLEGE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS Coaches need to stay healthy during season COOKE CURTIS Texas head coach Mack Brown yells from the sideline during the first half of an NCAA football game against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, Saturday. Sent. 18.2010. Media attention and gameday pressures abound ASSOCIATED PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY — Gary Pinkel likes to get away from a stressful day and sneak in a quick shopping trip with his granddaughters, even it's just for 15 minutes. He'll push them around in a shopping cart for a while, get them all wired, then drop them back off with his daughter and return his focus to coaching Missouri football. Even such a brief break is soothing for the 58-year-old Pinkel. "This job is pressure-packed," Pinkel said Monday on the Big 12 coaches' conference call. "I think it's more pressure-packed than it ever has been because of ESPN, because of the national sports scene, because of the Internet, because of all the instant communication out there and there's so many media avenues now that exist, the amount of money coaches make. "To me, it's going to get worse, the pressure. It's not going to go the other way" Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio suffered a mild heart attack Sunday morning not long after an overtime win against Notre Dame, highlighting the health hazards of coaching that were a hot topic after Urban Meyer briefly resigned from Florida following last season. The health of top college coaches was a hot topic this week. Some admit that taking care of themselves can become an afterthought if they don't carefully plot out some time to exercise and eat right. "I need to do a better job taking care of myself," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "I do in the offseason, and I feel great. But there's no doubt that you just wear yourself thin trying to win every game in the fall, and there's a lot on your plate." Leading a football team takes far more than just calling plays for a few hours on Saturdays. Brown rattled off an expansive list of people he has to answer to: high school coaches, lettermen, fans, alumni, regents, administrators, faculty, media and 130 players — each with parents whod like to see their kids get to play. "I think it's a concern. The intensity level and stress is beyond, I think, what anybody could ever imagine on a head coach," Pinkel said. "I've been a head coach 20 years. You kind of learn to deal with it, but if you're a competitor, that's just the way you are. And you thrive on it, too, a little bit." Pinkel said he works out three times a week: early on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. He and his assistants also schedule in time for dinner with their families, although doing that requires coming in early. Kansas State's Bill Snyder multitasks by watching game film while he runs on a treadmill after practice. Colorado's Dan Hawkins tries to set aside time for himself and his staff to hit the weight room and sleep. "Certainly it's a 24/7 operation, not just here but anywhere," Snyder said. "It's easy to overlook a lot of things that are significant in life, not just your health. But you have to carve out and create ways." At Oklahoma State, Mike Gundy has allowed new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen more control over the game planning. That means at least two less meetings per week for Gundy, but he also thinks it will add years to his life. "I don't think there's any question that my health is not good during the season," Gundy said. "I exercise, I try to eat right but there's just a lot involved in being a coach. It's not necessarily football. It's the responsibility of the 125 players on your team and their families and their parents and their well-being." "The intensity level and stress is beyond, I think, what anybody could ever imagine being a head coach." Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said it's simply hard to leave the job at work. He said he sleeps about five hours every night. said he's spared one slice of pressure: That of family, though held love to have one someday. He recalled calling one of his assistants recently and hearing "his two kids just screaming in the back and I hung up the phone and started laughing because I don't know that world. "I have not slept three hours straight in years," he said. GARY PINKEL Missouri football coach Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema "I think that's one area where for me that avenue is probably a benefit because I don't have that stress," he said. With all that's going on, Pinkel suggested that coaches should be proactive about their health and visit a doctor more visit a doctor more frequently than others might. Better to go there for a check-up than be taken there in bad shape. "I know that it's a concern for all of us," Gundy said. "You're seeing more of it in the last few years than you ever have before." Pinkel said every coach has to find his own system that works, and that process becomes easier over time. "When I was a first-year head coach, Wednesday night I was ready to play the game — emotionally, physically, everything. I was wired," he said. "I think through the years I've learned to try to delay that. I still wake up every Saturday morning like it's the national championship game for me. That's just who I am. I guess when I quit feeling that way, then I'll go do something else." NFL Ray Rice inspires fans with his kindness off the field MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE BALTIMORE — The man's last wish was to meet his favorite Raven. But, sick with cancer, he never thought Ray Rice would knock on his front door. So last March, when the running back stepped into Paul Pelfrey's living room, Pelfrey mustered his strength, stood up and gave Rice a hug. The men sat at the dining room table and chatted for 2 hours, said Rice, who shared tales of his own trials. "I wanted (Pelrefrey) to get to know me as a person, not just about running the football," he said. "I wanted it to be a remembrance that he could take with him. I told him the stuff he was battling was way bigger than anything that I've battled in life." When they parted, Pelfrey, 51. a maintenance supervisor for Lockheed Martin, grasped Rice's hand and hugged him again. F. BURGESS "You'll make it to the Hall of Fame," he whispered. Pelfrey died two weeks later. Rice Such acts of kindness are becoming routine for Rice, the team's Pro Bowler runner whose moves off the football field are often as special as those on it. Few players excite crowds like Rice. His hardscrabble roots, bantam size and obsessive work ethic resonate with fans, who have embraced the third-year back out of Rutgers. "He's fast, strong and has great balance," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "Ray can be as good a back as there is in the NFL." Rice's reputation spills over into his private life. "It's nothing for Ray to go into a store and walk up to a poor kid who's eyeing a $70 video game," said Bryan Shannon, Rice's cousin. "First, he ask the kid how he's doing in school. If he's doing OK, Ray will buy him the game — and autograph it." Rice's response is always the same, Shannon said. "He'll say, 'Man, that felt good.'" Rice doesn't trumpet these outings, some of which he has roped other Ravens into. "He has phoned me from hospitals and had me talk to people he's visiting there," offensive lineman Michael Oher said. Once, Rice was even asked to autograph some football paraphernalia for a deceased fan who wanted to be buried with it. Rice did it willingly. These favors he does gratis. His success (2,041 yards gained from scrimmage in 2009, second best in the league) and upbeat demeanor have landed him endorsement deals with M&T Bank, Verizon, BGE, Carbiz and others that will earn Rice about $500,000 this year. That's a tidy sum for a player who's not quite 5 feet 9. "There's a good vibe around him," said Ben Renzin, his marketing representative. "Ray's personality just lights up a room. Kids look up to him, his energy level is high and his drive to be one of the best is amazing." Rice, 23, said he knows where he's headed. "One thing I know about life is that you build an image for yourself," he said. "I want to read my name in the books one day. I want to be one of the greatest. "I want to be known as a guy who made it — and gave back." --red-and-black Huffy, and rode it over makehift wooden ramps on a nearby playground. It wasn't a typical birth. Rice came into the world six weeks early, legs churning. His mother, then 23, was glad he came early. "He kicked all the time, from four months on." lanet Rice said. "Ridiculous. Every time I tried to sleep, Ray would kick. And the kicks kept getting stronger." He grew up poor, sleeping two to a bed in a scruffy neighborhood called "The Hollow" in New Rochelle, N.Y., where guns and gangs were rife. His father died when Ray was 1, killed by mistake in a drive-by shooting in 1988. All Rice knows of Calvin Reed are some old photos, and what his mom has told him. "Slick" Reed was a supermarket stock clerk, a sharp dresser and an avid bodybuilder. "At 9 months, he walked very fast," his mother said. "By 1, Ray was potty-trained. He told me that he wanted to wear underwear, and I haven't had to put Pampers on him since." "My little dare-devil," his mother叫他， and kept the Bactine and Band-Aids handy. At 2, Rice graduated to a two- At 3, he did pull-ups on the water pipes in the hall outside their public housing apartment. "I want to be known as a guy who made it—and gave back." "I watched him," said James Wagstaff, an older cousin. "I lifted Ray up, near the ceiling where the cold pipes were, to see if he could one pull-up. He did 20. By 5; Rice begged to play football with kids twice his age on that concrete playground. "It was crazy, an obstacle course, with monkey bars, swing sets and metal sprinkler heads sticking up out of the ground — but we wanted to play," said another cousin, Khalid Rice. In third grade, Rice got a job sweeping floors at the Big Three Barber Shop on Main Street. There, at 7, he learned to work the crowd. RAY RICE Raven's running back me out along the way? The older kids took note of Rice, calling him "man-child." He had muscles at 5" Janet Rice said. "Ray looked like a little body-builder, but he had a big head. I'd tell him, 'Boy, if your body don't catch up to your head..." "I didn't just clean people up, I entertained," he said. "I told (the customers), I'm gonna be somethin' someday, and you can help "Ray loved to hit. He was really, really aggressive," cousin Anthony Rice said. "He declared guys, knocked them off their feet. Other teams' moms cried and asked the refs, 'Could you please take (Rice) out of the game?' And the refs said, 'Ma'm, he's younger than almost everyone on the field.' Pound for pound, no one was tougher than the stocky 10-year-old who played alongside him. Anthony Rice said. Rice's football face was something else. In youth league play, the smallest kid on the field was the one most feared. "They'd give me a dollar, or a five. I loved the fives. I made the fives last." "During games, Ray would say, 'Anthony! Anthony! I'm gonna hurt somebody right now!' And on the next play, he'd hit some guy and, sure enough, he'd be hurt. Ray wasn't a dirty player. He hit you straight up — but hard." Rice grew up determined to prove himself. "When people said he was too small or too slow, too this or too that, it made him work harder," said Courtney Greene, the Jacksonville Jaguars' safety who grew up with Rice. "Once, when we were 10 and playing in the same backfield, he asked me to miss my block on purpose so he could run this dude over. I tripped, looked up and saw Ray step on the guy — and go 40 yards for a touchdown." He prepared for games "like a commando" said David Richards. a childhood friend. "He ran the stairs to his sixth-floor apartment over and over," he said, "and then did pull-ups on the monkey bars outside." In their 12-year-old title game, Richards said, Rice played nose guard and slammed the opposing quarterback to the ground so hard that he was ejected from the contest. In the first quarter. "The ref threw a flag and said, "This kid is entirely too strong to play in the championship." Richards said. "Ray was just doing his job. We blew the other team out, and he sat there and watched the rest of the game with a smile on his face." In middle school, Rice began feeling the pressures of the neighborhood. "I had to get away," Rice said. But he couldn't always escape. In eight grade, facing peer problems, he slipped a pellet gun into his backpack and went off to school. Security guards found it, and police surrounded the place. Rice's sentence: one week's suspension, a year's probation, exclusion from his middle school graduation and 100 hours of community service. "Our mother took away everything possible from Ray, including football, for a while," said Markell Rice, his younger brother. "It was strong punishment." Lesson learned. DID YOU KNOW?

Ben Pirotte/KANSAN FIFA Top forward's injury benches him for 10 days MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE MADRID — Spanish football champions Barcelona announced on Monday that star striker Lionel Messi will be out of action for only about 10 days. It was feared that the Argentine forward might have suffered a broken right arm after an ugly foul by Atletico Madrid defender Tomas Ufaifalu at the end of Sunday's league match. Ujfalusi was red-carded and Barca held out for a 2-1 win, but left Madrid worried about their injured idol who was stretched off. However, extensive tests on Monday revealed that Messi does not have any broken bones or torn ligaments. According to the official report of the Barca doctors, published on the club's website, he has sprained the internal and external lateral ligaments in his right ankle, and will be out of action for around 10 days. Messi will miss Wednesday's league match at home to Sporting Gijon and Saturday's away to Athletic Bilbao. However, he might be fit for Barca's Champions League clash away to Rubin Kazan on September 29. Messi, 23, has so far scored four goals this season, two in La Liga — including the first against Atletico on Sunday — and two in last week's 5-1 Champions League destruction of Panathinaikos.

Mike Lavieri Steelers defense leads to win MORNING BREW I get the same enjoyment from seeing one football player knock the crap out of the other that my friends get at the end of that romantic comedy, when the relatable, go-getting girl wins over the kind, funny guy. My heart races and a sense of euphoria washes over me. Defense is not as glamorous as offense. You don't get the theatrics of a one-handed catch over a safety. And let's face it, most of the guys on defense are bulky linebackers who are missing a few teeth and, from a woman's perspective, not quite the same as Tom Brady. But I love it just the same. I am a Pittsburgh fan, so I have been brainwashed to idolize defense and Iron City Beer (think Natty Light, but worse). But a good defense can win a game. I know every sports announcer says that, but this weekend I saw it really happen. The Steelers went into the game with their third string quarterback. Because of Ben Roethlisberger's inability to stay out of trouble and Leftwhich's injury and temporary release from the team, we had a very green second year quarterback, Dennis Dixon, at the helm. His main duty for the game was to hand it off to Mendenhall, who had a few decent runs, but couldn't get anything going because, surprise, we ran the ball on most downs. So, our game plan wasn't exactly a secret to the Titans defense. In the second quarter, Dixon was injured and didn't return, so we had to finish the game with our fourth string quarterback. BY SAM ANDERSON sanderson@kansan.com We had only 127 total offensive yards. THE MORNING BREW But that didn't matter, because the Steel City defense was that good. They held the one and only Chris Johnson, fantasy god, to a measly 34 rushing yards. The defense had three interceptions, forced seven fumbles (four of which they recovered), and four sacks for 23 yards. The defensive play that meant the most to me, is the perfect example of how pivotal a defense really can be, happened in the first quarter. Pittsburgh was up 7 to 3, but the Titans were at the Steelers 16 yard line. Vince Young takes the ball and has the guts to try to throw it into the endzone. All of a sudden, a blur of black and gold with that mane of (insured) hair flying behind it has the ball. Troy Polamalu intercepted Vince Young's pass. And instead of the Titans taking the lead, or at least cutting it to one, the Steelers have the ball on the 20-yard line. That one play seemed to changed the game. When it looked like the Steelers were about to lose the lead and the momentum, Turnover Troy made the most of his opportunity. From then on I felt like no matter what our offense did, our defense would be able to somehow, magically make it all better. And they did. The next Titans series was a three and out followed by an interception. Vince Young looked like he was afraid to get back on the field. Eventually, he was replaced by Kerry Collins. I actually felt like our lead was safer when the Titans defense was on the field. Everyone had the Titans winning the game, and if you just looked at the offensive side of the situation, I could see why. But they discounted our defense, which was a big mistake.

Garrett Hartley kicked a 37-yard field goal that barely fluttered through as time expired after Drew Brees set it up with a 30-yard completion to Marques Colston and the Saints spoiled the San Francisco 49ers' home opener with a 25-22 victory Monday night. San Francisco's Frank Gore ran for a 7-yard touchdown with 1:19 to play and Vernon Davis made a close-call catch at the goal line for the tying 2-point conversion. The play was initially called no good, but the 49ers (0-2) challenged the ruler and won. The defending Super Bowl champion Saints (2-0), who relied on their defense most of the game, got the ball back at the 30 with 1:14 left. Brees hit Colston with a pass that put the Saints on the 18 with 18 seconds left. The 49ers watched anxiously as Hartley's kick just made it. "We've stayed with the mindset we are the hunter, not the hunted." Brees said moments after the game. Reggie Bush caught a 6-yard TD pass in his first game since giving back his 2005 Heisman Trophy won while with Southern California. The NCAA punished USC after concluding that Bush and his family took money and gifts from sports agents while Bush played for the Trojans. Bush was helped off the field with a leg injury with 6:58 left and then was taken to the locker room on a cart. Brees hit David Thomas for a 3-yard score that put New Orleans ahead late in the third quarter and Tracy Porter's interception at the 10-yard line preserved the lead until Gore's late run. San Francisco beat itself with turnovers. On a festive evening at Candlestick Park in which the 49ers retired Hall of Famer Jerry Rice's No.80 jersey at halftime, the Niners looked little like the championship teams Rice starred on in the 1980s and 90s. Roman Harper intercepted a pass by Alex Smith at the 26 in the first quarter. Malcolm Jenkins recovered Delanie Walker's fumble at the 3 just before halftime as the Niners failed to capitalize on opportunities. ing a 12-yard touchdown pass from Smith. Gore provided the highlight, running for 112 yards and catch- New Orleans' defense shined for the second straight game in the national spotlight, the Saints' first game since kicking off the NFL season in prime time on Sept. 9 with a 14-9 victory over the Vikings. The inconsistent Saints offense looked far from top form but still found a way to beat the Niners for the sixth straight time. San Francisco helped out by committing the three turnovers and snapping a ball out of the end zone for a safety on the opening series. Brees completed 28 of 38 passes for 254 yards, eight of those completions to Pierre Thomas. New Orleans is 2-0 in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history. Brees calmly directed New Orleans into the end zone in its first drive just as he did in the team's initial series in the opener. Brees — who took time to sign autographs on the sideline before dressing for the game — capped the seven-play, 46-yard drive by hitting a wide-open Bush, who pointed to the crowd and then saluted. Smith was 23 of 32 for 275 yards with two interceptions. MLB Monday's game was a makeup following a rainout on Aug. 8, and the teams needed only 1 hour, 52 minutes to finish — it was the fastest game in Marlins' history, by two minutes. MIAMI — Chris Volstad threw a five-hitter for his second career shutout, Brad Davis hit a grand slam off Chris Carpenter and the Florida Marlins dealt St. Lous' dimming playoff hopes a blow by beating the Cardinals 4-0 on Monday. The loss dropped St. Louis 6% games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central. The Reds played later at Milwaukee. first by a Martins catcher — came in the second inning, the first surrendered by Carpenter (15-8) in 3,699 at-bats since June 12, 2004. Carpenter gave up five hits and struck out six in six innings, but made one giant mistake to Davis. Dan Uggla started the Florida second inning with a double and that, combined with a walk to Gaby Sanchez and an intentional pass two batters later to Mike Stanton, loaded the bases for Davis — who had been a mere 0 for 2 in that situation in his brief major league career. Volstad (10-9) struck out three for the Marlins, who lost the first six games of their current home stand. Davis' first career slam - the NBA Heat coach won't pressure LeBron to change his game His other shutout was July 8, 2009 at San Francisco. The Cardinals are now just 12-23 since Aug. 13. Cardinals lose to Marlins and lose hopes for playoffs MIAMI - TV analysts have talked about LeBron James needing to adjust his game to play with Dwyane Wade. Both players invariably will, but Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is not pushing that notion. "I made the point to LeBron MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE "We want to make sure what he does best, he will be able to do in our system." that I don't want to reinvent his game," Spoelstra said in a wideranging chat recently. "I don't want him to feel uncomfortable.

"Dwyane has guarded point ERIK SPOELSTRA Miami Heat coach will be able to do in our system." Spoelstra will use preseason (camp opens Sept. 28) to decide whether to start Mario Chalmers or Carlos Arroyo or an intriguing lineup with swingman Mike Miller starting and James and Wade handling the ball. James was sixth in the NBA in assists last season, James will play at least three positions (small forward, point guard, some power forward). Spoelstra has not asked him to scale back his scoring, though that is an expected offshoot of playing with Wade. "LeBron certainly will play minutes during the game at point guard and handle the ball a lot," Spoelstra said. "He will be a playmaker. But he has also been a scoring champ. He will be at the end of plays to finish them. He will be a facilitator. He'll be so many From there, it was all Volstad. The Cardinals never got a runner past second against him, and went 0 for 8 when they were in scoring position. He needed only 93 pitches to get through seven innings, and Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez decided to let him bat instead of going to the bullpen. No matter. He sent Carpenter's 2-0 offering over the high wall in left field, giving the Marlins the lead. different things. We want to take advantage of all his skills." Wade 10th. Volstad rewarded him with a 1-2-3 eighth. And after a two-out double in the ninth, Volstad ended it by getting pinch-hitter Mark Hamilton to line out to center. Spoelstra loves his roster's versatility: "It's not conventional. Our system is going to be designed where multiple players can handle the ball and make plays, which hopefully will make us more dynamic. On one possession, one guards often, LeBron the same. Mike has guarded three positions virtually his whole career. He once played half a season as Memphis' backup point guard." So which player will handle the ball mostly late in games? "Depends on the game," the coach said. Spoelstra, who met with every player and is "making sure guys are in world-class condition," is "grateful" to owner Micky Arison and team president Pat Riley for the chance to coach this unique team: "The summer was exhilarating. For me, the celebration ended in July. After that, Pat's words were ringing in my ears. 'Just coach the team and do your job.'" Starting power forward Chris Bosh "wont play the majority of his minutes at center" but will play some there, Spoelstra said. He and Udonis Haslem "could be a very good defensive and rebounding duo." guy looks like the point guard, and on the next possession, the other one looks like the point guard" On James, who spent three weeks here this summer and had lunch with the coach: "Great work ethic. He's tireless. He's a magnetic personality, engaging, makes people feel comfortable." Spoelstra's vision? "We want to be aggressive and attacking, make stops to create opportunities in the open court. Play at a pace that takes advantage of our skill and athleticism." At least one of the three stars — or two or three — always will be on the court until the outcome is settled, Spoelstra said. crimson at JOCK'S NITCH AND BLUE TUESDAYS 25% OFF All Regular Priced Kansas Jayhawks Merchandise Limited Time Only! 837 & 916 Massachusetts , THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SPORTS MEN'S BASKETBALL | 9A Jayhawks lose top 10 prospect TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 Josiah Turner commits to Arizona over Kansas and other notable basketball programs.

Quigley ran for a total of 46 yards that day. Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN FILE PHOTO BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgallowy PAGE 10A The Kansas football team's sixth-year senior running back and team captain has lost his starting job. It now appears he will need to fight just to get the occasional carry. Angus Quigley, whose Kansas career has seen everything from a conversion to defense and consecutive season-ending injuries, will not receive the bulk of the carries going forward. Kansas coach Turner Gill said at a teleconference on Monday. "I think at this point in time we'd say James Sims is the back," Gill said. "Probably at this point in time I'd say Sims and (Deshaun) Sands would get the majority of the time there." Just three weeks after starting the season opener against North Dakota State, Quigley will take a back seat to the freshman tandem of James Sims and Deshaun Sands. Quigley carried one time for five yards in last Friday's 31-16 loss to Southern Miss. A native of Cleburne, Texas, Quigley missed the entire 2005 and 2006 seasons due to injury but later received two additional years of eligibility as compensation. Last season, Quigley played linebacker under coach Mark Mangino and recorded just three tackles. The progression of Sims and Sands, who both have a touchdown to their name in two games played, may have made Quigley the odd man out. For his career, Quigley has amassed 473 yards rushing and five touchdowns in 92 attempts. Quigley seemed to have his legs back under him against Georgia Tech, when he ran eight times for 46 yards and had a pivotal 18 yard carry. missed a block and allowed a sack on freshman quarterback Jordan Webb during a rare playing-time opportunity on Friday, might not fit into that category any longer. The coaching staff must evaluate where their offensive assets are, Gill said. Quigley, who "There are usually going to "I think James Sims is going to get better and better as he continues to play the game of football here at this level," Gill said. "I think he's done some good things, and he obviously got some improvement, but I like what he's doing." be two to four plays that usually can define a football game and which way the momentum goes," Gill said. "It doesn't always mean you're going to win or lose the game, but it usually takes the game in one direction or another and you've got to be able to overcome that moment."

COMMENTARY The final round of the Kansas Invitational will start tomorrow at 8:30 in the morning. Edited by Leslie Kinsman Set the bar low for this season A. J. A. BY MAX VOSBURGH myosburgh@kansan.com They're just not that talented. I keep hearing the same thing from everyone. No one seems to understand the Kansas football team. Why is everyone so surprised that Kansas is 1-2 and has looked terrible in two of its three games so far this year? They're just not that talented. Before the season everyone who thought Kansas would go 6-6 or 5-7 forgot something. They forgot that everyone who had anything to do with the Jayhawks' success the last few years was gone. Former coach Mark Mangino struck gold when he found talented players on his roster that weren't expected to be as good as they were. It's not like Kansas has ever been recruiting the nation's best players. So why expect a team whose skill position players were back-ups to a team that went 1-7 in the Big 12 last year to take any steps forward? I am not blaming the players. I am just saying that expectations, as low as they were, were still too high for this team. Quarterback Jordan Webb's comments after the lost to Southern Miss offered a nice way to describe the team he leads. "Some of it was probably us, and some of it was a little Jordan," Gill said. "We were making our calls from the sideline and from upstairs and sometimes we were waiting too long to get the plays in." "There's just a bunch of stuff we've got to work on and get better at," he said. I am not even blaming the head coach. Still, the coaching staff deserves every bit of a flunking grade for the way they called plays and managed the clock last week against Southern Miss. Gill wasn't afraid to blame the bad clock management on his starting quarterback and coaching staff after the game Saturday. Gill is new here and learning just like his players. It's not fair to make comments like, "If only we still had Mangino," because fans just need to let this season go. This is a long-term rebuilding project. We're not playing for this year. We're playing for two years from now when Webb and running back James Sims are experienced upperclassmen. So Kansas was embarrassed by North Dakota State, looked asleep against Southern Miss but beat Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets actually were only outscored by the Jayhawks in one quarter during that game. Kansas looked out of gas at the end of the game and nearly lost It was the incredible amount of energy that the Jayhawks had when they started the game that showed everyone they weren't going to be pushed around again. It was that same energy that was nowhere to be found against Southern Miss and it will be that level of intensity that they'll need if they want to win any other game this year. Still, with 1:45 left in the fourth quarter, down 15 points against the Golden Eagles on Saturday, the Jayhawks gave up, waved the white flag on fourth down and punted the ball knowing Southern Miss would be able to take a couple knees and end the game. I just hope that wasn't a microcosm of this year's season and that Kansas is able to find that spark they had against Georgia Tech again. One thing that surprised me, though, was that team really does care, even if past performances, like North Dakota State and Southern Miss, didn't show it. I was surprised to see how visibly upset and angry the players looked after the Southern Miss loss.

"In a college town, you really don't have the space to garden," Kim Scherman, a junior from Eudora, said. "It's really rewarding to be able to grow your food yourself." The KU Student Farm began as an environmental studies class project last spring by Jason Hering, a senior from Hutchinson. Hering later collaborated with professor Kelly Kindscher to pit the plans to action. "We created the farm with the idea in mind that it would expand into something more," Hering said. "The idea was to have a student-run, student-operated farm." Hering, who studied abroad in India last summer, said that experience gave him some valuable insight. "There are certain specific sustainable farming practices," Hering said. "There are ways of doing things by hand, and without heavy machinery." Hering said the majority of the work is based on preparing the grounds for cold weather. Workers at the farm do this by planting winter rye seeds and enriching the soil with nitrogen to prepare for new crops. "We are really hoping to reach a lot of people who might be interested in starting a plot next semester." Hering said. "There aren't any classes organized by KU at this point, but local farmers will be out to our meetings to teach people what tools to use, what seeds to use and anything else they may need to know." Hering envisions the farm turning into an entrepreneurial opportunity. "In the future, there will likely be a plot where the KU Student Farm Group will grow crops to sell to students, the farmers market or to the KU Dining Services," Hering said. Scherman is the Local Foods Coordinator for Environs, a student organization that advocates environmentally sound policies. Scherman said she is drawn mostly to the quality of the farm-produced food. "A year ago, I really wasn't aware," Scherman said. "I saw food in the grocery store and just thought that was where it came from. I started looking into food and what goes into it and it just started raising a lot of questions." Scherman explained that although a product may be labeled "organic," the standards for labeling it as... ADMINISTRATION State University Tuition vs. State Funding State Funding Tuition Percent 49% 28% 15% 26% 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 By Aleese Kopf Source: Kansas Board of Regents Board of Regents propose $10 million in financial aid BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com The Board of Regents recommended a much-needed $10 million financial aid program last week to be forwarded to the 2011 Legislature. The program, which is designed to help low- and middle-income Kansas students, would be partially funded by recouping $6 million in sales taxes collected on university campuses that would have been forwarded to the state treasury. The remaining $4 million would be sponsored by each state university and their athletics department. Kip Peterson, director of government relations and communications for the Regents, said the plan was designed to offset rising tuition fees in the state. "There is a need here to lend a hand to Kansas students," Peterson said. During the past 25 years, state university tuition and fee rates have risen steadily to balance stae funding reductions. The University of Kansas has seen a 200 percent tuition increase since the 2001 fiscal year. At the same time, the state's need-based financial aid program has seen only slight increases, and it has been cut by 5 percent the past two years. In addition, the state of Kansas ranks 36th in the nation and last among Big 12 states in per capita state need-based financial aid contributions per student. Gary Sherrer, regents chair, said all of these factors went into the Board's decision to recommend a new financial aid program. As tuition fees rise, student debt also continues to increase, creating an even bleaker situation at universities. In 2008, 62 percent of graduates from public universities had student loans and the average student debt was $20,200 — 20 percent higher than in 2004, according to the Kansas Board of Regents' website. Melinda Robinson, a senior from Hutchinson, is one student in favor of the proposed plan. "It became clear that we ought to be doing something," he said. "Any tax going back into education is worth it," Robinson said. would provide loans to students whose families are at or below the statewide median family income, which is currently $50,174 per year. Students who live and work in Kansas for a certain amount of time after graduation would then be eligible for complete loan forgiveness. Further details regarding loan amounts and eligibility will be determined in the coming months before the legislature convenes in January. Peterson said the new plan Sherrer sees the proposal as long overdue and only the start in making education affordable in Kansas. "The effect would be to grow the workforce and improve the state's economy," Peterson said. "The whole concept of a public university is that all of our students have a chance to better their lives through education." Sherrer said. "If people are capable of going to a university, the state should make sure they get that opportunity without building huge amounts of debt." Edited by Joel Petterson PARKING Towing tie-ups confuse students BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@Kansan.com When Jeff Jacob, owner of Bull Dog Towing in Lawrence, started his business seven years ago, there were a total of four towing companies in Lawrence. Today there are 11 companies Jacob is competing with. "No regulation for police department rotation," Jacob said. "All you have to have is a truck and a place to park the cars." The increasing number of towing companies in the area has led to an increase in surveillance of private lots. This means an increase in towed cars and a dog-eat-dog mentality among competing companies. Towing companies either monitor lots every few hours or wait for owners of apartment complexes to call and request them to tow from To make matters even trickier, the double-digit number of tow companies causes confusion for those who have their cars towed about which company to contact. Since the majority of tow signs in lots do not say what number to call or which company has what car, many are left confused and angry. Each towing company charges a little bit differently, but the average payment to get a car back is anywhere between $150 to $200 dollars. From the time a car is towed the owner has 24 hours to come up with "There are no signs that say what tow company to call or anything like that," said Tim Cooper, a senior from Des Moines, Iowa. "You have to come up with, in my case, 180 dollars cash in 24 hours and each day that price goes up. That's 180 dollars wasted." the money in cash. Any additional time is considered storage and each company charges an extra $35 to $40 dollars a day. a certain lot. The majority of towing companies in Lawrence must notify the police department that they will be towing from a specific parking lot. Since the majority of lots do not have a number to call when they tow a car, the best bet is to call 785-832-7509, the police dispatch number. Just inform them that your car has been towed, which lot it was towed from and your license plate number. The police will give you the phone number for the company that towed your car and you should call immediately to find out where their lot is.

Lawyer Heli Abel Torrado said the assets include an apartment in Paris, a home in Wyoming and royalties from her memoir. The book, titled "Even Silence Has An End," went on sale internationally Tuesday. Betancourt's lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment. Lecompte said Betancourt, 48, filed for divorce several months after the Colombian government rescued her in July 2008. Her memoir has already raised the ire of one of her former fellow captives, Clara Rojas, who decried as "infamy" Betancourt's suggestion in it that Rojas asked their leftist rebel captives for permission to get pregnant. Betancourt, a dual French-Colombian national, was kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, in February 2002 while campaigning for president. Betancourt has two grown children from her first marriage and now divides her time between Paris and New York. Shealiened many Colombians in July when they learned she had decided to seek more than $6 million in damages from the state. Betancourt later withdrew the petition for damages. Some prominent Colombians accused her of being reckless by heading into the conflict zone where she was kidnapped. Betancourt contends the government bears responsibility for stripping her of armed protection. In an interview with the Bogota newspaper El Espectador on Sunday, she called Colombian society "cruel." Betancourt appears to harbor lingering resentments. ADMINISTRATION Law school searches for its future dean The screening process for a new dean for the School of Law began on Sept. 1 and the application process will continue until the position is filled. The new dean is scheduled to begin duties on June 30, 2011. Christopher Drahozal, chair for the dean of law search committee, said the committee performs the initial screening and identifies the best group of candidates. Beyond that, the decision will rest in the hands of Jeffrey Vitter, the new provost and executive vice chancellor The position for dean is open because Gail B. Agrawal, the first female dean for the school, left the University of Kansas to become the dean at the University of Iowa College Of Law. Argawal Stephen W. Mazza, associate dean for academic affairs at the School of Law, became the interim dean on July 1, the same day Agrawal started her position at the University of Iowa. Because of the nature of the search process, Drahozal said there was only so much he can comment on. He said a reasonable amount of candidates have applied, but he could not disclose any of their names. "I can't comment on candidates, which is I'm sure what most people are interested in," served as dean for the school from 2006 until 2010. Everything regarding the candidates is confidential until 48 hours before an on-campus interview. At the end of the semester, Drahozaal said he hoped the committee will be finished with their part in the screening process. Law faculty member Stephen McAllister, who served as dean from 2000 to 2005, said the position of dean required the right kind of person to do it and do it well.

But since President Barack Obama announced a "reset" of U.S. ties, there has been a shift toward closer cooperation. NEW YORK — A planned summit between NATO leaders and Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev will significantly boost cooperation on the Afghan war, missile defense and fighting drug trafficking and piracy, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday. U. S. NATO Ambassador Ivo Daalder said that Wednesday's foreign ministers session with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov will lay the groundwork for the November summit of the 28 NATO members and Russia in Lisbon, Portugal. Medvedev was invited earlier this month. "I hope what we get out of this is that everyone will leave with an understanding that there is a good basis for trying to achieve some significant breakthroughs by the time we are able to get together at the leaders' level in November," Daalder told journalists. In April, Obama and Medvedev signed a new nuclear arms reduction treaty, and in June Russia agreed to support U.N. sanctions against Iran because of its nuclear program. NATO quickly followed suit with an exchange of visits and meetings by senior officials and top generals. Russia, which wants to quash Islamic militancy and drug trafficking in its neighborhood, has opened a land route to resupply the 140,000-strong NATO force in Afghanistan. The main supply route through Pakistan has come under repeated attack by Taliban guerrillas. Moscow is also training hundreds of Afghan and Central Asian drug agents. it is currently considering a NATO request to equip the nascent Afghan air force with transport and gunship helicopters, and to train their pilots and mechanics. "Russia has no interest in seeing us fail in Afghanistan, it has every interest that Afghanistan is not a source of instability," Daalder said. "In that sense we are working together in seeing how we can transform those shared interests into (more cooperation)." Daalder said he expected that NATO nations will decide on whether to proceed with a proposed anti-missile shield.

Kliss put up signs that read "$10,000 To Take A Crap." He says he covered the last word with paint after the township told him he violated a zoning rule.

That was the strident belief of Rodrigo Cortes, the Spanish director behind "Buried," the most deliriously claustrophobic film imaginable — the entire movie is set inside a wooden coffin beneath the sands of the Iraq desert, and the only person ever shown on screen is Ryan Reynolds as Paul Conroy, the desperate man trapped inside that casket. The unsettling film, which opens Sept. 24 in limited release and then goes wide Oct. 8, uses an intricate system of sliding panels that allowed Cortes and cinematographer Eduard Grau a wide array of unexpected vantage points and dynamic storytelling opportunities. Conroy's cellphone connects him to the world above and to the unfolding mystery of his predicament while his Zippo lighter's flickering flame illuminates his face and his fear. Still, the film is essentially 94 tense minutes spent inside a box, and Cortes concedes there were plenty of skeptics as the project got under way. take the camera beyond the coffin". Cortes said. "I was told it would bring some oxygen to the audience if we were to show the surface or to cut out to the other side of the (phone) line, for instance, or if we showed the other characters, like the leader of the hostage-taking group or his wife or the federal authorities. There was talk of doing flashbacks. All of this. I thought, was the perfect way to spoil everything and ruin the film." right one. In January, the movie earned especially enthusiastic reviews at the Sundance Film Festival — Rob Nelson of Variety, for instance, called it "an The keep a-lid-on-it aesthetic choice appears to have been the The biggest challenge the film may face may be the anxiety of moviegoers — how many people are willing to watch a film that is an extended panic attack? As Cortes put it, it's "something you feel more than you watch; it's extremely visceral." The movie starts with several long minutes of complete darkness and the labored breathing of an injured man. Then, as he regains consciousness, the sounds switch to hyperventilating terror, clawing and whimpering. Reynolds said the performance ingenious exercise in sustained tension that would make Alfred Hitchcock turn over in his grave" and sparked a bidding war that ended with Lionsgate acquiring the North American rights for a reported $4 million. "We were absolutely determined to bring it home," said Jason Constantine, Lionsgate's president of acquisitions and co-productions at the time.

The movie benefits, certainly, from the surging profile of Reynolds, who starred with Sandra Bullock in last year's romantic comedy hit "The Proposal" and also has the title role in "Green Lantern," the 2011 superhero film that Warner Bros. hopes will yield a major franchise. Culver's MILKSHOP The actor said he was instantly intrigued by Chris Sparling's script for "Buried" but became passionate about the project after meeting Cortes. After a 40-minute lunch, he agreed on the spot to make the film, "Buried" is just the second feature film for the 36-year-old Cortes, and he's an unknown to American audiences, but Reynolds gushed about the director and said he's eager to work with him again even though "we have very different tastes in material, quite honestly."

EDITORIAL BOARD High school journalism in Kansas still retains value T the staff of The University Daily Kansan was saddened to learn that Soon, funding for high school journalism courses in Kansas are likely to disappear as journalism is moved into the same funding category as other type of elective or career-based classes, such as the arts and business, according to the Associated Press. Journalism continues to play a vital role in a healthy republic, whether it comes from The Washington Post or The Huffington Post. High school journalism is important in fostering an appreciation for the profession. Many high school journalists may never step foot inside a newsroom after their senior year. but the skills learned - and the values absorbed - help them to be better citizens throughout life. For those who do pursue a career in journalism, high school is often the place a passion for the craft is first ignited. Yes, the profession is changing in numerous ways and the future is uncertain. There's no guarantee that we will end up finding employment in our chosen field. But for many of us who were once high school journalists, without those first experiences, we may never had even had the chance to pursue this field. The new funding requirements will also put Kansas students in journalism at a competitive disadvantage against other states with stronger support for journalism education. journalism education in Kansas will affect students at the University. As students come to the journalism school and various campus media with less and less prior experience, the quality of campus media will suffer. And that's something nobody wants.

NICK SAMBULAK GUEST COLUMN Increasing risky behavior means trouble for students Young adults confront many experiences new to them in college, and it is no secret that the casual college hook-up is a popular social subject. The more socially acceptable casual, unprotected sex becomes, the bigger the chances of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. It also does not help that many college kids admit to not using condoms 100 percent of the time when hooking up with some-one, especially if there was alcohol involved. A 2009 article published by the National Institutes of Health concluded that 65 percent of students surveyed admitted to not always using a Unfortunately, recent trends have shown that young people are becoming increasingly risky in their sexual behaviors, and the statistical evidence of current STD rates are less than promising for our generation. The numbers are frightening and paint a disturbing picture of how careless our young adult demo- graphic has become when it comes to protecting themselves sexually. According to a graph compiled by various state health departments on the disease prevention website avert.org, the number of cases of chlamydia went from a little over 500,000 confirmed cases in 1997 to over 120 million in 2008, and the rate is steadily increasing. One of the biggest problems with this disease is that many people don't know they are infected for a long time because symptoms do not always appear right away. condom, and people who had more sexual partners were less likely to insist on using a condom than people who had a fewer number of sexual partners. In my mind, it makes more sense to always have a condom available if you have several sexual partners, but statistically, that is not the case. The trend of loose promiscuity This seems a bit weird to me. The more socially acceptable casual, unprotected sex becomes,the bigger the chances of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. second, if you are too embarrassed to buy a box of condoms then you should be too embarrassed to be having sex, too. with little regard for the health and well-being of both parties involved is irresponsible and dangerous. Young adults need to start protecting their bodies when they are out in a social setting where they might have a sexual encounter with someone whom they are not familiar. With the current rates of STDs increasing, it is necessary to make smart choices about your body "It is disheartening that after years of improvement with respect to teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, we now see signs that progress is stalling and many of these trends are going in the wrong direction." Janet Collins, director of the Center for Disease Control's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, said in a news release on abnews.com. I have met several people who have serious problems in their lives be-cause of the decisions they made under the influence with someone they thought was totally clean. It is our responsibility to grow up and face the facts about the decisions we make as young adults. Whatever happens on Friday or Saturday night is something you may have to live with for the next 50 years, so be careful and think about the smartest decision for both you and your partner. -Jillian Aramowicz for The Kansas State Collegian at Kansas State University HEALTH Facts on organic can be elusive,but are helpful O organic has become a buzzword among those who are concerned about their health. But what does organic mean? What are the benefits of organic food versus conventional food? Why should students consider paying more for organic foods? This conversation has been debated heavily, but there are facts among the rhetoric that provide answers to these elusive questions. Organic food in the U.S. goes through strict regulations, according to Urvashi Rangan, who is director of technical policy for the Consumer's Union Rangan took part in a debate held on Intelligence Squared, a program broadcasted by NPR. Rangan asserts that there are five main ways organic food benefits consumers: Organic animals don't eat excrement, antibiotics are not allowed, organic animals are not fed toxic heavy metals (such as arsenic), synthetic pesticides are not used, and synthetic fertilizers are not allowed (i.e. human waste). Believe it or not, the above-mentioned regulations actually are allowed to take place in conventional agriculture. Rangan states, "We feed antibiotics to animals every single day. We wouldn't do that with humans. We wouldn't feed humans antibiotics every day. Why do we do it in conventional agriculture?" One of the main arguments against organic products is the increased price. Organic food is, on average, $1.60 for every $1.00 of a similar conventional product, according to John Krebs, who is chairman of Britain's Food Standards Agency, who was also one of the experts debating on Intelligence Squared. The daily use of antibiotics is irresponsible considering the on-going battle against antibiotic resistant bacteria (such as MRSA) that, according to the CDC, killed 18,650 people in 2005. The CDC found that more people die of MRSA annually than of AIDS. Only 16,000 people died of AIDS in the U.S. in 2005). So why do organic foods cost more? Rangan explains The Conscientious Consumer IS BY SARAH GROSS sqross@kansan.com that organic food is laborious to produce; instead of using chemicals to kill weeds, they must be physically pulled. Another reason for the increased cost is because conventional crops, such as soy and corn, are subsidized by taxpayer money and organic products have yet to receive such subsidies. While opponents to organic products claim that there are no significant health benefits, and that the chemicals used on conventional products do not pose health risks, there is reason to believe that this is simply not true. Charles Benbrook, chief scientist at the Organic Center, also participated in Intelligence Squared. Benbrook links the use of certain pesticides to birth defects afflicting one in eight babies, as well as the 25 percent of Americans who are having difficulty conceiving. He acknowledges that there are pesticides available that are fairly safe, including one called Glyfosate. But can a consumer really tell which products have residue from a safe pesticide versus that of an unsafe pesticide? For students paying that additional 60 cents can sometimes be tough, considering that can almost buy a burrito at Taco Bell. but it is a wise decision to make, if possible. Organic products are heavily regulated and are much more transparent than conventional products allowing consumers to make an educated decision on the food they eat.

The district attorney's office said several former and current City Council members were taken into custody along with ex-city manager Robert Rizzo and Mayor Oscar Hernandez. "This, needless to say, is corruption on steroids," District Attorney Steve Cooley said at a news conference, standing next to pictures of the suspects. Rizzo, who was making nearly $800.000 a year, was booked on 53 counts of misappropriation of public funds and conflict of interest. ROBERT J.

Former Police Chief Randy Adams, who was also scrutinized in the salary scandal, was not arrested. "Being paid excessive salaries is not a crime." Cooley said. "Illegally obtaining those salaries is a crime." Prosecutors allege the suspects misappropriated more than $5.5 million. Adams was paid $457,000 a year but there was no evidence he obtained that salary illegally. Cooley said his office had been investigating the officials since March — four months before the public learned they were paying themselves huge salaries to run the city of 40,000 people.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Melvin Jovel, 21, pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and weapons charges in the Newark attacks. Prosecutors said Jovel and five other young men lined up lolemi Hightower and Dashon Harvey, both 20, and 18-year-old Terrance Aeriel, against a schoolyard wall and shot each of them in the back of the head. A fourth victim, who survived, testified at the first trial in the case that she was sexually assaulted, slashed with a machete and shot in the head. She is not being identified by The Associated Press because of the sexual assault charge. "With this guilty plea today, the victim and the surviving family members are spared one trial and Mr. Jovel will spend the rest of his life behind bars," said Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Thomas McTigue. "We can now move on with the prosecution of the remaining cases." The other four defendants are in jail awaiting trial. Jovel faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced on Nov. 4. His lawyer, Joseph Krakora of the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender, declined to comment on the plea. Prosecutors have portrayed the killings as an initiation ritual for members of the Central American gang MS-13. They say Jovel and at least two of the other suspects had lived in an apartment complex in Newark's Ivy Hill section across the street from the scene of the murders. Prosecutors say the four victims, who attended or planned to attend Delaware State University, were hanging out listening to music in the schoolyard behind the Mount Vernon school on the night of Aug. 4, 2007, when they were approached by the suspects, who robbed them and forced them to lie on the ground. and shot.

The killings also prompted state officials to give police the authority to refer violent crime suspects' names to immigration authorities if they are suspected of being in the country illegally, a response to the fact that one of the suspects was free on bail for other crimes despite being an illegal immigrant. Several of the suspects are Latin American immigrants of differing immigration status. Prosecutors said Tuesday that it wasn't clear whether Jovel, who was from Honduras, is in the United States legally or illegally. Earlier this year, a jury convicted Rodolfo Godinez, a legal immigrant from Nicaragua, and sentenced him to three consecutive life sentences for the killings. Godinez was not tied to the gun or machete used in the attacks but was convicted under New Jersey's accomplice liability law. His lawyer plans to appeal.

Wigginton drove his 21st homer of the season just inside the right field foul pole off Scott Atchison, who came in after Clay Buchholz allowed one unearned run and four hits in six innings. Buchholz lowered his ERA from 2.48 to 2.39, second in the AL to Seattle's Felix Hernandez at 2.35, Atchison (2-3) allowed three hits and retired just one batter. Bergesen (8-10) gave up one run and five hits as he allowed three runs or fewer for the ninth time in his last 10 starts. Wigginton's homer made it 4-1, and the Orioles added a run in the Boston took a 1-0 lead in the second on Daniel Nava's RBI single. Baltimore tied it in the sixth when Adam Jones, who had singled, scored from first with two outs on an error by second baseman Marco Scutaro when a very high popup by Felix Pie ticked off his glove and fell behind him. The Red Sox had a chance to go ahead in the bottom of the sixth when Jed Lowrie walked with two outs and Ryan Kalish hit a drive to deep right-center. But the ball bounced into the stands for a grounds-rule double, forcing Lowrie to stop at third. Nava then took a called third strike. eighth on Robert Andino's sacrifice fly and four in the ninth off Jonathan Papelbon. Cesar Izturis led off the top of the seventh with a single and was forced at second on a grounder by Brian Roberts. Nick Markakis singled and Wigginton at Atchison's first pitch to him for a homer. The Red Sox threatened in the seventh with two outs and runners at first and third, but David Ortiz struck out for the 54th time in 170 at-bats against lefties when he looked at a third strike from Michael Gonzalez. Bergesen allowed one hit in his last three innings, Kalish's double in the sixth. In his last start on Sept. 15, a 3-1 win over Toronto, he pitched his third career complete game. His ERA over his last 10 starts is 2.31. Buchholz struck out five and gave up four hits and three walks but allowed runners in each of his innings. In three of them, he again showed his knack for working out of trouble by stranding runners at third base. Opponents are hitting 1.68 with runners in scoring position against him, the lowest average in the AL. Royals top Tigers in Detroit MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Mike Aviles drove in three runs, rookie Jerrod Dyson scored three times and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 9-6 on Tuesday night.

Bruce Chen (11-7) improved to 3-0 in his last five starts, allowing three runs, four hits and a walk in six innings. Detroit took the lead on Austin Jackson's ninth-inning sacrifice fly. then added two solo homers in the fourth. Ryan Raburn升 off the inning with his 14th of the season, and Miguel Cabrera followed with his 35th, a 427-foot liner that cleared the first level of shrubs above the center field fence. The Royals rallied in the fifth to take the lead. Galarraga retired the first two batters, but Dyson singled, stole second, took third on a passed ball and scored on Aviles' single. Butler followed with his third single of the game, and Wilson Betemit walked to load the bases. Kila Kaaihue walked to drive in a run and Yuniesky Betancourt hit an infield single that Galarraga threw away, allowing a second run to score. Butler made it 5-3 with a sixth- inning sacrifice fly, and the Royals put the game away in the eighth. Lucas May started the inning with a single, and Dyson laid down a bunt. Figaro misplayed the ball for an error, then threw it away for his second error on the play. Aviles followed with a two-run single to give the Royals a four-run lead. Kansas City added two runs in the ninth on RBIs by May and Dyson.

Webb's only turnover this season was a deflection off a wide receiver. WEBB (CONTINUED FROM 10A) I've been around a situation with having a freshman quarterback and a freshman running back and not turning the ball over," Long said. "We went through a game with no turnovers and one penalty on offense, and that speaks well of their discipline and their protecting the football." After fall camp, coach Turner Gill attributed Pick's superior athleticism and ball protection skills as the reason why the sophomore was named starter. While the offense has struggled at times, but one of their big- "Nobody hits the quarterback in fall camp, so we really didn't see him fumbling or anything, but Jordan was never really given that position of leadership," said senior offensive lineman Brad Thorson. "He's shown it when he's in at quarterback, but when you become the guy, he's matured really quickly. He holds himself much better than you'd expect a freshman to." ing up of the playbook, but that move is still some time away as the Kansas coaching staff concerns themselves with just staying in games. That developing confidence in Webb may lead to an open- "We're want to work our game plan, but we're also working a game plan that is conducive to what he can do best at this point time." Long said. "Are we at the expanding stage with him? No, we're just not there yet. So we've really cut back to make sure he's productive at that position and not getting us beat."

The league named freshman libero Brianne Riley the rookie of the week in an announcement on Monday, after Riley's outstanding performance in Kansas' victory past the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday. Riley said she was more honored than excited. "I couldn't have done it without everyone else on my team," she said. "It was a lot of hard work and extra hours in the gym and stuff, and we still have a long way to go, but I'm excited." Riley led the team with 15 digs, had 34 successful service receptions, and tossed in a kill for good measure. The win — coach Ray Beard's 200th with Kansas — stopped a four-match winning streak for the Aggies and improved Kansas' conference record to 1-1. In the previous game, the Jahwaks' conference opener against Kansas State, Riley led Kansas with 18 digs and contributed a seasonhigh six assists. Riley said having good players on both the "A" and "B" squads helped in preparing for pressure situations. "it's good to have that kind of competition every day in practice," she said. Senior outside hitter Karina Garlington described Riley as determined. blocker Brooke Delano leads the Big 12 with a hitting percentage of .415 and 1.48 blocks per set. She is among three AVCA All-Americans that Nebraska returns this season, along with two seniors: settter Sydney Anderson and outside outter Tara Mueller. "It was a lot of hard work and extra hours in the gym." Garlington said that Nebraska was a consistently physical team "I just think she has a lot of fire," Garlington said. "She kind of has BRIANNE RILEY Freshman libero that same never say-die attitude that we've needed in a back row player for a really long time. She doesn't let the ball hit the ground." No. 4 Nebraska has its own highly effective libero in senior Kayla Banwarth. Banwarth leads the Big 12 with 5.43 digs per set. As a team, the Cornhuskers lead the conference, and are in the top five nationally for kills, blocks and assists. Junior middle that puts up a big block and digs well in the back row. "They're just technically sound," she said. "They can put on a show, but I think more so they're in the right spot at the right time they're pretty disciplined. I think it'll be a good match-up and I think it'll be a lot of fun." Match time is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the University of Nebraska Coliseum. The match will be televised on Metro Sports in Kansas City (Sunflower Broadband channel 37).

MLB Halladay is first 20-game winner, Phillies top Braves Halladay became the first Phillies pitcher in 28 years to get 20 wins ASSOCIATED PRESS ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA — Roy Halladay became Philadelphia's first 20-game winner in 28 years, Jayson Werth hit a three-run homer and the Phillies increased their lead in the NL East to five games with their ninth straight win, 5-3 over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Halladay (20-10) allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings to reach 20 wins for the third time in his career. Hall of Famer Steve Carlton was the last to do it for the Phillies when he won 23 in 1982. Robin Roberts, another Hall of Famer, was the last right-hander to win 20 for Philadelphia, in 1955. The two-time defending NL champions are 43-15 since July 21, when they trailed the Braves by seven games. They are 17-3 in September. The Philies reduced their magic number to clinch the division to six. Rookie Mike Minor (3-2) lasted just 2 1-3 innings in his eighth career start, allowing three runs and seven hits. Atlanta's Freddie Freeman hit his first major league homer, a solo shot off Halladay in the seventh. Freeman was 1 for 13 before he connected. Ryan Madson tossed a scoreless eighth for Philadelphia and Brad Lidge finished for his 25th save in 30 chances. While the Braves used two rookies — Brandon Beachy, who made his major league debut on Monday, — to start the first two games of a crucial series, the Phillies adjusted their rotation so their three aces would pitch. Halladay followed up another impressive start by 2008 World Series MVP Cole Hamels. Next up is Roy Oswalt. The Braves send Tommy Hanson to the mound as they try to avoid a sweep Wednesday night. A crowd of 45,264 was the 119th straight sellout at Citizens Bank Park. They stayed in their seats and waved white-and-red "Fightin' Phils" rally towels. On Monday night, a teenager in a head-to-toe red spandex suit ran onto the field and eluded security guards until Braves left fielder Matt Diaz tripped him. Werth gave the Phillies a 3-0 lead in the third with his fourth homer in five games, and 25th this season. Werth tossed the bat and turned to look at teammates in the dugout before circling the bases, emphatically slapping hands with first-base coach Davey Lopes on his wav around. Placido Polanco walked to lead off the inning and advanced to second on Chase Utley's single. The Braves got runs in the fifth and sixth to cut the deficit to 3-2, but Raul Ibanez hit a two-run double with two outs in the sixth to give the Phillies a three-run lead. Alex Gonzalez looped a double to right to start the Atlanta fifth. After Rick Ankiel singled to left, Gonzalez scored on pinch-hitter Eric Hinske's fielder's choice grounder to second. Ankiel broke up a double play by taking shortstop Wilson Valdez's throw off his left hand. Martin Prado singled to right to start the Braves sixth and Brian McCann hit a double off the wall in right-center. Derrek Lee then hit a sacrifice fly that drove in Prado, but McCann inexplicably tried to advance to third and center fielder Shane Victorino, a two-time Gold Glove winner, easily nailed him with a no-hop throw. Mike Dunn retired the first two batters in the sixth before he walked Ryan Howard. After Werth lined a single off the left-field wall, ibanez ripped a liner into the right-field corner to make it 5-2. MLB ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Nick Swisher homered off James Shields to key a five-run burst in the first inning and the New York Yankees beat Tampa Bay 8-3 on Tuesday night, opening a $2\frac{1}{2}$-game lead over the Rays in the AL East. The Yankees cut their magic number for clinching a playoff spot to four over Boston. The Red Sox played Baltimore. Tampa Bay nicked Phil Hughes (17-8) and relievers Javier Vazquez and Joba Chamberlain, but never quite got the big hit it needed while stranding 10 runners. Ahead 7-3, Chamberlain escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth by striking out pinch-hitter Brad Hawpe and getting John Jaso on a liner to center. Chamberlain finished for his third save. New York has won the first two in this four-game series, and pulled even at 8-all with the Rays this season. Robinson Cano blooped an opposite-field, two-run double to left in front of a diving Carl Crawford for a 7-3 lead in the seventh. Derek Jeter doubled home a run in the eighth. Shields (13-13) started against the Yankees for the sixth time this season. He had done well in his previous outings, but this time they figured him out in a hurry. It's a pattern that's troubled the Tampa Bay rotation for the last few weeks A bright moon hung over the right-field facade when the game began, and Swisher hit a rocket into the bleachers on Shields' six pitch for his 27th homer. Jorge Posada hit an RBI single with two outs, Lance Berkman boomed a two-run double and Curtis Granderson's single made it 5-0. Shields backed up the plate on Granderson's hit, and slammed his pitching hand into his glove and shouted at himself. Big Game James had a word, too, for plate umpire Mike Everitt in the third after Posada reached on a hit by pitch. The ball skipped past Posada's shin and he instantly headed toward first base — it was impossible to tell from replays whether the pitch grazed his pants leg and besides, umpires make that call based on sound, rather than sight. Shields, catcher Jaso and manager loe Maddon calmly discussed it with Everitt, surely still smarting from Jeret's admitted act last week after a Rays pitch the knob of his bat, not him. Maddon came out again when the inning ended to talk with Everitt. BIG 12 League to cut down to10in June 2011 BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball The Universities of Nebraska and Colorado have reached separate agreements with the Big 12 that will have the schools leave the conference, effective June 30, 2011. They will be inducted as members of their respective new conferences the next day. Colorado will join the Pac-10 — which will be renamed the Pac-12 and Nebraska will join the Big Ten. Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe said Tuesday night that he's been looking for a late September conclusion to the talks since they started. "It's difficult to resolve when you have such disparity in your viewpoints," Beebe said. The agreement said that the conference will withhold $9.255 million of the estimated $19 million that Nebraska earned as part of its last two years in the Big 12. If the Huskers are one of two Big 12 teams to make a BCS bowl, another $500,000 will be granted to Nebraska. Originally, the Big 12 planned to hold $19.37 million. "The two institutions didn't think there was any damage to the conference." Beebe said. "We thought there was significant damage." For Colorado, the Big 12 will withhold $6.863 million. Beebe explained the disparity in his Tuesday night teleconference. "It's based upon the projections over two years of what each program has earned." Beebe said. The Big 12 has yet to disclose how exactly the withheld funds will be disbursed among the remaining schools. Beebe said that decision will be made when the board meets in November. Beebe said the money would be distributed according to conference bylaws. Nebraska athletics director Tom Osborne expressed his enthusiasm that the deal got done. "We feel the long-term benefits of entering into the Big Ten, both academically and athletically, will make this a very good investment," Osborne said in a statement. Colorado Chancellor Phil DiStefano said they still have kept strong ties to the Big 12, despite leaving it. "Even as we leave for an exciting future in the Pac-10 Conference, we value the great friendships and memorable rivalries we have been a part of, and we appreciate the good faith Commissioner Dan Beebe has shown in working with us on our exit from the conference," DiStefano said. The departure of both schools from the Big 12 will avert a potential scheduling problem had Colorado stayed and Nebraska left, as was rumored to be likely. With only 10 teams in the conference, the schools will play a round- robin schedule in football, with each team playing every other team once, and a double round- robin in basketball.

Associated Press Photography gives new angle MORNING BREW Watching a Kansas football or basketball game from the sideline is a unique and thrilling experience. I'm not trying to brag, I promise, but working as a photographer for The Kansan since 2008, I've seen my fair share of games from mere feet away from the action. And although many might covet this prime vantage point, I have recently realized that covering sporting events as a photojournalist has had a serious effect on my Kansas fanhood. Let me explain. I was born in Lawrence months after Kansas won its second NCAA men's basketball national championship. Growing up in Lawrence, I was inundated with Kansas sports. Watching hundreds of football and basketball games on TV with my dad served as my training as a Kansas fan. Late Night in the Phog (back when it was actually Late Night, with the scrimmage tipping off at midnight) was one of the biggest events of the year for me. Not even an early morning date with the ACT stopped me from going my junior year of high school. And while attending games was a special occasion as a kid, some of my best childhood memories resonate from the historic confines of Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium. Through good times and bad, my dedication to Kansas sports never wavered. I sat in the rain by myself to watch Bill Whittemore play his final game in Lawrence. I cried when Roy Williams jumped ship for North Carolina. I cried even harder after watching Kansas lose to Syracuse, Bucknell and Bradley in the NCAA tournament. My freshman year of college I attended every home football and basketball game, and in April of 2008 my wildest Kansas sports dream came true. That fall I began working for The Kansan, and one month into my new job I got the opportunity to shoot the first football game of the season, I was estatic, but it was not until minutes before kickoff that I realized that since I was working the game, I couldn't cheer for my team, or clap to the fight song or sing the alma mater as I was accustomed to doing. BY RYAN WAGGONER Photo editor rwaggoner@kansan.com THE MORNING BREW Working as a journalist, it is always important to remain unbiased no matter the assignment. That means as a photo-journalist for The Kansan, I can not show any favoritism or support for one team or another when I'm working. So standing on the sidelines of that game against Florida International, for the first time ever, I attended a Kansas sporting event and did not root for Kansas. I did my job, I took pictures, and after the game (which Kansas won 40-10), I was happy about the victory but I did not show it. And so it was for the rest of the season, and the multitude of games I have shot since that day. I've become so accustomed to not cheering for Kansas while I shoot a game, that when I'm not working, it feels strange to actually be able to wear a blue shirt and clap when The Javahaws scores. Don't get me wrong, my feelings about Kansas sports have not changed. I'm still as big of a fan as I ever have been, but I don't seem to care as much as I used to. I came to this realization on Sept. 4 of this year. Watching the Jayhawks suffer one of their worst losses in recent memory to Division I-AA North Dakota State at home, I stood on the sidelines feeling no remorse or pain in watching the seconds tick away as KU fell to 0-1 on the season. I didn't share the anguish of the student section and the thousands of fans pouring out of the stadium. I was more concerned about getting my work done. It wasn't until later that night that the loss sunk in, and I became aware of how little I cared about the way the team played while I was shooting the game. I understand now that while my feelings might have changed, I still love Kansas, just in a more subtle way. My calloused attitude while working the games has had an effect on my fanhood, but I would not trade the experiences I've had for working The Kansan for anything. Sitting courtside at Allen Fieldhouse and following Kansas' teams on road trips have served as some of my best memories from my college years and will provide more through the coming football and basketball seasons. And while I will continue to suppress my true feelings for Kansas sports while working for The Kansan, I will freely wear crimson and blue and wave the wheat after each touchdown again soon: I graduate in May.

McClatchy Tribune MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE MEXICO CITY - The Mexican sports reporter who's at the center of a sexual harassment scandal with the NFL says those who promoted her case are setting back the cause of equal treatment for women. "I was really surprised when they start to criticize me and my image and everything, and I said, 'C'mon, it's not the first time you've seen an attractive woman doing her job," she said in an interview with McClatchy. Sainz offered her thoughts about the case, which she said had made her "the most popular journalist right now in Mexico and Latin America." She spoke from the office of her production company after a whirlwind 10 days of television appearances and interviews to discuss accusations that she was the subject of sexually charged comments and behavior while she was covering the New York Jets on the practice field and in the locker room. A law school graduate, Sainz might seem perfectly cast to press the issue of equal rights. Instead, she's turned against fellow female sports reporters who took the matter to the NFL. In a column Saturday in Mexico City's El Universal newspaper titled "My Sept. 11 in NY," Sainz wrote that her colleagues "have turned back at least 50 years" in seeking equal rights for women. She voiced annoyance that those who were coming to her defense never contacted her before complaining to the NFL. "I really feel very disappointed because I really think that the first step they needed to do is to call me," Sainz told McClatchy. "They only want some kind of attention." The president of the Association for Women in Sports Media, Amy Moritz, a sports reporter for The Buffalo (N.Y.) News, took issue with Sainz's assertion that the group didn't try to communicate with her. "On our part, AWSM made numerous attempts to get in touch with Ines Sainz in a variety of ways, but we never received a response." Moritz said in an e-mail. Sainz is one of Mexico's most experienced sports reporters, and her TV network has sent her around the world. She's interviewed some of the biggest names in sports, including tennis stars Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Kobe Bryant in basketball and baseball's Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. She entered the New York Jets' locker room after a game to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez, a Mexican-American, and later Tweeted that she was "dying of embarrassment" because some players had whistled and hooted at her. The Association for Women in Sports Media lodged a complaint with the NFL, which last Friday reaffirmed an equal-access policy to locker rooms for female reporters, in effect since 1985, and announced a training program for all 32 NFL teams on respectful and professional treatment of female journalists. When the scandal erupted, Sainz was in New York City with her husband, Hector Perez Rojano, the owner of a television production company. She appeared on a flurry of U.S. television news shows.

Roberts Stadium against Southern Miss. Although Kansas lost the game, coaches were impressed by Webb's lack of turnovers. Defensive pressure hasn't produced many turnovers from Jordan Webb BY MATT GALLOWAY BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgallow- Jordan Webb has posted respectable numbers in his first two college starts. The freshman quarterback has thrown four touchdowns and has a 125.43 quarterback rating. However, it is what Webb has not done that may have impressed the coaching staff the most. Despite being hammered relentlessly by opposing defenses, Webb has yet to fumble the ball. And he has only one interception on the season on a fluky deflection from one of his own receivers. Webb's awareness and toughness are two reasons the coaching staff and his teammates respect him. "I think he's been pretty good at staying in the pocket," said offensive coordinator Chuck Long. "What I like about Jordan is his toughness, and that will go a long way. Teams feed off that toughness, and they see it on film that he can take some hits. He had a couple in Wildcat formations at times. Long admits he is uneasy when the future of this football team javelins himself into enemy defenders, but he admires the statement from his quarterback. "I don't necessarily like that," Long said, "but he has a great competitive streak." Quarterbacks must develop awareness in the pocket when the defense applies pressure. While he's been sacked ten times in just nine quarters this season, Webb feels he'll develop that extra sense many of the great quarterbacks have over time. "You could call it a sixth sense, it's more just being around the game and playing the position you know when you're about to get hit," Webb said. "You've got to just take the loss and not make it a bigger play for the defense." "What I like about Jordan is his toughness, and that will go a long way."

That "big boy" status vanished after last year, and now Kansas football has fallen off the two-wheeler and is back on a tricycle. The tricycle though, is a hand me down with three dented wheels, so all a parent can say to the kid is: "Pedal harder. It'll be a bumpy ride, but if you want to move forward, that is what you have to do." The three wheels of this beat up tricycle can be represented by three facets of the Kansas offense. I will let the defense off the hook for this metaphor. The front, leading wheel is quarterback Jordan Webb. The left back wheel is the offense. And the back right wheel is offensive coordinator Chuck Long. The father figure that should be pushing the bike with words of encouragement is coach Turner Gill. To be a fine tuned machine, the team needs to learn how to take responsibility off the third wheel and have two working in synchronization. Right now, there are kinks in every wheel. Whenever the cameras would cut to Gill during the Southern Mississippi game on Saturday there was only one look on his face. A passive blank look that seemed to be out of touch with everything happening on the field. The problem starts with the father figure coach Gill. How confident would you feel learning how to ride a bike for the first time without the person holding you steady saying anything to encourage you or correct your mistakes? I would have liked to see some talking, some effort to work out the problems with the coordinators and the players. Instead, punt after BY NICOLAS ROESLER proesler@kansan.com punt, Gill remained cross armed and looked to the scoreboard as if it held the answers for the team. All other problems all lie in communication between the three janky wheels. The offense has talent. Everyone saw bursts of it in the Georgia Tech game. I even saw it on our last touchdown during the Southern Miss. game where our first play of a drive was a deep fade route thrown perfectly to Jonathan Wilson for a touchdown. There needs to be a simple way to get the play from the back wheel, Chuck Long, to the front wheel, Webb. This would create balance and the third wheel, that is the offense, would simply be a benefactor of this relationship. Webb would then be able to steer and lead the offense on the field. The problem doesn't lie in the talent. It lies in how the talent is told what to do. The play calling comes from the back wheel, offensive coordinator. But on Saturday, plays were getting to Webb late and causing delay of games and overall confusion. Under Mark Mangino, a system was set up where the motion of a hand from an assistant coach would call a new play in the middle of a hurry-up offense. And the system ran smoothly most of the time. Now, Gill needs to mandate the balance that will keep Kansas football on the right path.

The premium seating expansion on the east side of the stadium, originally slated for completion this fall, is indefinitely on hold. "After talking with donors, alumni and season ticket holders, I know everyone loves the concept," Marchiony said. "But they thought we needed to come up with a different financial model." The concept last year was to get all the money up front and then build the seating area. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the athletics department is convinced the concept is still good despite the delay. To become a member of the Gridiron Club, a minimum donation of $10,000 per seat is required. Contracts for memberships include a 10-year membership for $55,000, a 30-year contract for $105,000 or a 45-year contract for $130,000. Membership would include season football tickets and food and beverages. Marchiony said the amount of money required up front caused reservations among donors, alumni and season ticket holders. The expected $200 million revenue from the project would reportedly benefit other programs within the University as well. Marchiony said the main focus now is the reworking of the finances. The creation of Olympic facilities for women's sports like softball and soccer are needed right away, Marchiony said. Suitable facilities for both women's and men's sports maintain the University's compliance with Title IX, which bans sex discrimination in athletics and academics. "That's why I think that this is an important project for us," Marchiony said.

COMMENTARY Touchdowns won't come easy to team on tricycles Fans can no longer be like the proud parents that I cheer and clap as their children ride off down the street successfully balancing on two wheels. That "big boy" status vanished after last year, and now Kansas football has fallen off the two-wheeler and is back on a tricycle. The tricycle though, is a hand me down with three dented wheels, so all a parent can say to the kid is: "Pedal harder. It'll be a bumpy ride, but if you want to move forward, that is what you have to do" The three wheels of this beat up tricycle can be represented by three facets of the Kansas offense. I will let the defense off the hook for this metaphor. The front, leading wheel is quarterback Jordan Webb. The left back wheel is the offense. And the back right wheel is offensive coordinator Chuck Long. The father figure that should be pushing the bike with words of encouragement is coach Turner Gill. To be a fine tuned machine, the team needs to learn how to take responsibility off the third wheel and have two working in synchronization. Right now, there are kinks in every wheel. The problem starts with the father figure coach Gill. How confident would you feel learning how to ride a bike for the first time without the person holding you steady saying anything to encourage you or correct your mistakes? Whenever the cameras would cut to Gill during the Southern Mississippi game on Saturday there was only one look on his face. A passive blank look that seemed to be out of touch with everything happening on the field. I would have liked to see some talking, some effort to work out the problems with the coordinators and the players. Instead, punt after BY NICOLAS ROESLER proesler@kansan.com punt. Gill remained cross armed and looked to the scoreboard as if it held the answers for the team. All other problems all lie in communication between the three janky wheels. The offense has talent. Everyone saw bursts of it in the Georgia Tech game. I even saw it on our last touchdown during the Southern Miss, game where our first play of a drive was a deep fade route thrown perfectly to Jonathan Wilson for a touchdown. The problem doesn't lie in the talent. It lies in how the talent is told what to do. The play calling comes from the back wheel, offensive coordinator. But on Saturday, plays were getting to Webb late and causing delay of games and overall confusion. There needs to be a simple way to get the play from the back wheel, Chuck Long, to the front wheel, Webb. This would create balance and the third wheel, that is the offense, would simply be a benefactor of this relationship. Webb would then be able to steer and lead the offense on the field. Under Mark Mangino, a system was set up where the motion of a hand from an assistant coach would call a new play in the middle of a hurry-up offense. And the system ran smoothly most of the time.

Eventually, Jefferson, a freshman at Free State High School, wants to work in construction. But on Monday, Jefferson started his first job — as an artist. Van Go Mobile Arts Inc. has given Jefferson and 21 other high school youths an opportunity to work in the arts at an early age through the Jobs in the Arts Make Sense, or JAMS, program. The University collaborates with JAMS through an independent study class. This fall, four KU students are working at Van Go. Through JAMS, high school students and employees learn the qualities needed to make it in the job market after high school. Jefferson said the opportunity to work at Van Go gives him a CRAFT "I like making money for myself," Jefferson said. "It's better than asking my mom for money." sense of pride that he can support himself. Van Go may be an avenue of extra income for its students, but it's different from the average after-school job. In order to be hired at Van Go, high school students must be under the federal poverty line, or have mental or learning disabilities. Van Go is the only youth work provider funded by the Workforce Investment Act. The WIA was designed in 1998 to better train individuals for a changing job market. Officials like Amy Bertrand, a social worker for Van Go, said although all of these teenagers come from difficult situations, Van Go employees handle them no differently than anyone else. "Once they pass the acceptance requirements, they are all treated like normal teenagers here," Bertrand, a social worker for Van Go, said. Cait Bubna, a senior from Colony, helps out at the Van Go Mobile Arts Tuesday. Says working there is a great way to be part of the community.

In a July 29 letter to the Kansas Board of Regents, the students said scholarships had been underfunded. When course fees were implemented in 2004, $225,000 was allocated to scholarships. In the 2010 fiscal year the amount was $286,000. According to the students, if the amount allocated to scholarships had risen at the same rate as the course fees, which were $75 per credit-hour for undergraduates in 2004 and $102 this year, $532,000 should have been allocated to scholarships in 2010.

CAMPUS NEW GRIDIRON CLUB Plans for stadium expansion halted BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton@kansan.com Before classes started this semester, a banner that hung on Memorial Stadium advertising the Gridiron Club quietly came down. The premium seating expansion on the east side of the stadium, originally slated for completion this fall, is indefinitely on hold. "After talking with donors, alumni and season ticket holders, I know everyone loves the concept," Marchiony said. "But they thought we needed to come up with a different financial model." Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the athletics department is convinced the concept is still good despite the delay. The concept last year was to get all the money up front and then build the seating area. To become a member of the CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Gridiron Club, a minimum donation of $10,000 per seat is required. Contracts for memberships include a 10-year membership for $55,000, a 30-year contract for $105,000 or a 45-year contract for $130,000. Membership would include season football tickets and food and beverages. Marchiony said the amount of money required up front caused reservations among donors, alumni and season ticket holders. The creation of Olympic facilities for women's sports like softball and soccer are needed right away, Marchiony said. Suitable facilities for both women's and men's sports maintain the University's compliance with Title IX, which bans sex discrimination in athletics and academics. The expected $200 million revenue from the project would reportedly benefit other programs within the University as well. Marchiony said the main focus now is the reworking of the finances. "That's why I think that this is an important project for us," Marchiony said. Last year, Lew Perkins, former athletics director, also pledged a The 3,000-cushioned-seat addition would cost $34 million to build, but only $4.5 million was donated. $40 million donation to the University from the revenues. Marchiony said the athletics department pledged they would not do anything with the project until they had all of the money to build. "Right now, the $4.5 million that was raised is sitting there," Marchiony said.

New position extends graduate student representation mholtz@kansan.com BY MICHAEL HOLT7 Student Body President Michael Wade Smith said he expected to Student Senator Bryce Myers sounded cautiously optimistic when he spoke about the soon-to-be-appointed graduate affairs director. Senate voted to create the position earlier this semester in an attempt to increase its representation of graduate students. "Its a risky move that has great potential," Myers said. "Whether or not it succeeds turns on the notion that they'll appoint the right person to the job." make the appointment by the next full Senate meeting in two weeks. His pick will need approval from two-thirds of the Senate. The graduate affairs director will be a voting member on five boards and committees and a non-voting member on two, according to the bill. This also marks the first time a graduate student representative will be a paid member of the Student Executive Staff. Myers, who has applied for the position himself, said his ideal candidate for graduate affairs director was someone who represented the interests of all graduate students, not simply the interests of his or her department. Despite his apprehensions, Myers said the new position could strongly benefit graduate students and open new doors of opportunity. Senate gained the attention of graduate students when their travel funds were cut two years ago, said "It means a better chance of us being able to directly influence the legislation and the functioning of the government," said Myers, a first-year senator from Overland Park. "It's an idea that may well work." It's also an idea popular among graduate students. For some, improved representation in Senate has been a long time coming. Robert Topinka, co-president of the Student Association of Graduates in English. "There was some animosity between undergraduates and graduates before," said Topinka, a graduate student from Madison, Wis., and a former senator. "Graduate students didn't think of Senate in the same way and didn't realize how it affected what they do." Having recognized graduate students' frustrations with Senate, both coalitions promised improved graduate student representation during last spring's election. After winning the election, Smith made the issue one of his earliest priorities. During the summer, he coauthored a bill aimed exclusively at graduate students that outlined the new position. The bill's approval earlier this semester was a sizeable victory for graduate students, a "historically underrepresented" constituency with opinions and viewpoints "valuable to the formation of good and effective policy," according to the bill. Student Body Vice President Megan Ritter helped write the bill. She said she hoped it would better connect graduate students with Seante. "I feel like right now they see Student Senate as an undergraduate entity and we really do represent the entire University of Kansas," Ritter said. In addition to the newly created position, the bill requires the addition of funding guidelines for graduate student organizations. It also calls for the removal of the Graduate and Professional Affairs Committee, one of five standing committees. The graduate affairs director will assume many of that committee's responsibilities. "It's not a silver bullet," Myers said of the new legislation. "If it works it will be brilliant, and if it fails it will be a bone-headed mistake."

After already working on it for a little over a week, Bouton hopes to have it repaired and back in its place in front of the Kansas Union before the home game this Saturday. 'Classic Jayhawk' statue in repairs after being damaged BY KELLY MORGAN kmorgan@kansan.com For nearly two weeks, the "Classic Jayhawk" statue has been absent from its usual spot outside of the Kansas Union. University officials removed the statue for repairs during the KU vs. Georgia Tech football game after it was damaged by two 7- to 10-year-old boys. "They did do a number on it," said Wayne Pearse, director of Building Services. "Apparently, they were rocking it back and forth as hard as they could and broke a foot loose and split a wing out." To fix the $1,200 worth of damages, the statue was moved to a workshop located on the second floor of the Kansas Union where a team of five men has been sanding, shaping and painting out the statue's dings and splits. "It's pretty labor intensive," said Marc Bouton, a maintenance supervisor. "The worst part was Workers also filled the statue with 50 cans of expanding foam to make it more stable. the wing, and for that we just want to make sure that we match all the angles and everything up." "Many of the Jayhawk statues you see are hollow," said Pearse. "So now this bird is going to weigh a lot more." This is not the first time that the "Classic Jayhawk" statue has been vandalized. Two years after the statue had made its debut in the 2003 Jayhawks on Parade fundraiser along with 50 other statues, two visiting sailors ripped "Classic Jayhawk" from its stand and rolled it down Jayhawk Boulevard. "One of the guys dropped his wallet while they were rolling it," Pearse said. They were caught when they approached a police officer who had the sailor's wallet in his hand and asked him to give it back. While a police report was filed on the sailors in 2005, the University has no plans to charge the two boys in the recent event.. "These are just boys," said Pearse. "I like to think they were too young to realize what they were doing and that they had no intention of doing damage." In general, KU workers and organizers of Jayhawks on Parade said they feel fortunate that nothing worse has happened to the stat- "Actually I'm pleasantly surprised, particularly that the Jayhawks have had relatively little vandalism," said Susan Henderson, the marketing director for the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Of course we're always disappointed when it happens, but for the most part we were pleased that nothing too bad happened." Workers plan to have the "Classic Jayhawk" statue back in its usual spot early Saturday morning.

Under the proposal, course fees could be allocated to pay new professors, but not to pay existing employees. The students said their research indicated that some existing professors were paid with course fees instead state funds, which is forbidden by the proposal. The students said they were upset that there was no student oversight of the course fees, which the proposal had provided for. They claim a student advisory committee had been disbanded. Fuerst had announced in July that he planned to restart the committee this fall but so far this had not occurred. frustrated by the response they received from both the School of Business and the University.

As time passed on into the summer, the students continued to be In response, the University said that assembling the documents would cost $61,000. On July 24, in a memo circulated among the Kansas Board of Regents, Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little responded to questions about the use of course fees, specifically those made by Cantrell. Gray-Little wrote that members of the provost's office were looking into the issues. The Chancellor defended course fees, listing enhancements made possible through the fees such as a 21 percent increase in undergraduate enrollment, new majors within the school and a "significant" Gray-Little did acknowledge that a shortcoming had occurred in the lapse of the advisory committee. number of additional faculty and career counselors as well as more than 890,000 in scholarships and student salaries in 2010. Fuerst requested an external review of the school in late July. The audit firm BRD is conducting the review and results of the review have not yet been released. "Unfortunately, the record in this area is not as strong." Gray-Little wrote. "At the end of the day, it's the direction they needed to go and hopefully they can restore some transparency." Metz said. Metz said he was pleased with the announcement that the dean would step down.

Currently, the athletics department is unsure specifically what aspects of the project will be changed, but despite the setbacks, those involved in the project are hopeful for the future.

The students have opportunities for raises as they spend more time in Van Go. Jefferson said Van Go keeps him out of trouble, and if he wasn't doing this he'd be sitting at home playing video games. High school students from around the area are referred to Van Go by school counselors and social workers as well as by word of mouth from friends. Bertrand said the number of applications the organization receives is double or triple the number of spaces actuary available. This week, the students are working on glass magnets and nightlights that will be sold at the annual "Adornment" event that will be held the Saturday after Thanksgiving. KU student Cait Bubna, a senior from Colony, sat at a table on Tuesday with Jefferson and other kids from different high schools sifting through different brightly colored glass pieces. "This is a great way to help kids out and be part of the community," Bubna said. "Plus, I get to make art. It's great." Bubna has worked with students in Van Go once before and said she could see the difference the program made in kids - not just in art, but in everyday life. "This requires responsibility and consistency," Bubna said. "Each week has a different lesson not related to art that the kids learn." When asked as a group who would be interested in attending a career fair this Saturday for the arts, three of the students besides Jefferson raised their hands. Bertrand said these kids were not hired based on their art skills but because of financial need. Many of these kids are just absorbing the useful training they receive through a normal work schedule and the lessons Van Go offers them. "If a career comes in art, I won't deny it — that's for sure," jefferson said with a smile.

Who will sit next to Randy Jackson? In a grand press conference at The Forum in Inglewood, where the last round of cattle call auditions were being held, Seacrest announced what has been speculated behind the scenes for weeks: Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler are the show's new judges. About 3,000 "idol" hopefuls were on hand to audition and hear the news from Seacrest himself. Jackson told the crowd: LIBERTY HALL accessibility info 644 Mass. 749-1921 (715) 749-1972 I'M STILL HERE (R) 7:10 9:40 GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE (R) 4:15 7:00 9:30 GET LOW (PG13) 4:30 ONLY suspect 3200 "I'm calling 'Idol' season 10 the remix, baby!" Tyler said he wanted to be a "part of something bigger" than himself. "I want to bring some rock to this roller coaster." Lopez said she was very excited "to work with you and watch you grow!" in a press release, Peter Rice, chairman of Entertainment for Fox Networks Group, said, "We're incredibly excited to have Jennifer join the Fox family. From the worlds of dance and music to television, films and fashion, she is a global superstar with iconic and captivating style, along with impressive insight on how to reach and move audiences worldwide." The new judges will have their work cut out for them. Although ratings slipped this past season, tens of thousands of hopefuls have turned out for the auditions.

EDITORIAL BOARD Students win in decision on downtown food cart Now that the long-awaited late-night food cart has finally arrived to the The food cart was first proposed in the spring and just a week ago, by a unanimous vote, they gained approval to operate the Last Stop Snack Shop food cart on the southwest corner of 10th and Massachusetts streets. "When we first looked into starting this business, we couldn't understand why no one had done it before us, until we found out about the ordinance and the process," said Mandel. Before the food cart received the go-ahead, the city ordinance required all street vendors to close by 9 p.m. Sharkan and Mandel sought approval to stay open until 2:30 a.m., in order to sell to those people who would be leaving the downtown bars after the 2 a.m. closing time. Once granted, the Last Stop Snack Shop became the city's first post-midnight food cart "We never considered giving up. We felt that it was a reasonable thing we were trying to get done and we were confident, if not blindly so, that we would be able to convey to the city why we thought that this should be allowed downtown" , said Mandel. While hungry boys and girls everywhere are elated that a late night food vendor is just a close downtown walk, downtown the door for other entrepreneurs who are looking to operate as a mobile sidewalk food vendor. Some pitched the idea to obtain food trucks and trailers for various parking spots downtown and around the city, but the city landford Doug Compton is less than pleased. Compton, who leases space to Encore, Pita Pit and Pyramid Pizza, encouraged the city commission to deny the proposal for What can you find at Last Stop? ■ grilled cheese sandwiches ■ veggie burgers ■ walking tacos ■ hot dogs ■ hamburgers Wednesday through Saturday until 2:30 a.m. Last Stop Snack Shop because he didn't think it was fair for businesses to compete with a food cart that would operate cheaply on publicly owned property. Other businesses that opposed complained about potential security and cleanup problems, as well as the risk for traffic congestion and vandalism. In reality, if the food cart does anything, it provides a safe service to bar patrons who want food and should not be driving to get it With the approval of one late-night food cart, the city commission has now opened commission rejected the proposals at last Tuesday's meeting because it feared enforcement problems. Although there does not seem to be a major difference between the Last Stop Snack Shop food cart and those who want to operate food trucks and trailers in parking spots, it seems as if mobile food services are here to stay in Lawrence. According to Mandel, Last Stop Snack Shop hit the streets for the first time last Thursday and business has been great. -Stefanie Penn for The Kansan Editorial Board CARTOON MASS ST. HOT DOGS Maria Sardon GUEST COLUMN Watch out, Comedy Central is going to Washington D.C. A As a satirical response to Glenn Beck's rally to "Restore Honor", Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are having rallies of their own at the National Mall on Oct. 30. Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity" and Colbert's "March to Keep Fear Alive" will ridicule the overzealousness of Beck's rally but in different ways. Stewart's rally, with the motto, "Take it down a notch for America," is a call to tone down the fanatical rhetoric being spewed on both sides, and Colbert's rally, with the motto, "Now is the time for all good men to freak out for freedom," is attempting to communicate the same message as Stewart's, but as is customary for Colbert, it will parody Beck's fear-mongering to make its point. If either of these rallies transitions from mocking criticism to abrasive derision, they will be no better than their opposition. These rallies have the potential to be a provocative form of civic engagement through the use of satire and humor, but we hope that the message stays comical and lighthearted. And because Stewart announced that his rally will feature special guests, we hope the event does not become a campaign One of his protest signs reads, "I disagree with you, but, I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler." is a plea for rationality and reasonableness in a media landscape dominated by the loudest and craziest sector of the population. If either of these rallies transitions from mocking criticism to abrasive derision, they will be no better than their opposition By keeping the rhetoric playful and farcical, and in a sense, antithetical to Beck's rhetoric, his message can be subverted and made to look foolish. An exemplary use of political satire occurred before the 2004 presidential election when a group called "Billionaires for Bush" took to the streets. to be for Sarah Palin. tool for political candidates, as the "Restore Honor" rally seemed They described themselves as "Ruly bands of Billionaires" who will "roam the streets of New York, stopping for three-martini lunches and spontaneous outbursts of ballroom dancing." The participants dressed them selves in tuxedos, top hats and elegant gowns and flaunted signs such as "Widen the income gap" and "We're selling your future today!" Arvind Singhal and Karen Greiner write that, "Through playful actions, satire and ridicule, 'Billionaires for Bush' engaged both participants and observers to expose the nexus between the presidency and right-wing, upper-class, neoconservatives." Stewart and Colbert's rallies can accomplish a similar feat, especially because these events might garner a wider audience than their individual television shows. If they can successfully contrast the dogmatic lunacy of Beck's rally with the composed rationality of Stewart's and the exaggerated antics of Colbert's, their message might reach and affect more people. But if these rallies become lectures rather than vaudevillian spoofs, their message might get lost among the rhetoric. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS — From UWIRE. The Indiana Daily Student at Indiana University Security concerns slippery slope W While the Jayhawks were per- were performing a miracle in Memorial Stadium on Sept.11, so too was another group of Lawrencians across town. More than 100 members from three different religious groups came together at Lawrence's Plymouth Congregational Church ,925 Vermont St., to mark the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 tragedies. As the Lawrence Journal-World reports, the group of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic community members also came together in a display of unity against the Florida pastor, Reverend Terry Jones', plans to burn the Quran. Though the Reverend has since cancelled these plans, his original announcement spurred a national debate on America's growing Islamophobia. As the Plymouth Church's pastor, Rev. Peter Luckey, told the Lawrence Journal-World, "We cannot have sacred texts being burned. We will not sit back and allow that to happen. That is why we are here today." But unfortunately this gathering will not be what Kansas gets attention for in the national media in regards to the Quran burning ordeal. Instead, the old-news crazies in Topeka — that's right Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church — are making the national headlines for actually following through on heinous threats to burn the Quran on 9/11. Instead of discussing how ignorant and hateful Quran burning is—should I even have to? — I want to look at another side of this national debate. General Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, brought national security concerns into the discussion when he told NBC news, "They [images of Americans burning the Quran] would be used by Let's Talk Foreign Policy --- BY MEGAN ADAMS madams@kansan.com Basically Petraeus is telling all the Islamophobic Americans to stop because their actions put our troops in harms way. And though this could be argued as true, that actions against Islam in America do fuel our enemy's hatred towards us, this line of discourse needs to be stopped those who wish us ill, to incite violence and to enflame public opinion against our mission here in Afghanistan, as well as our missions undoubtedly around the world." What Petraeus and many other military experts were hoping to do was to scare, or fear monger, Americans like Jones and Phelps from exercising this form of free speech. And as abhorrent as Quran burning is it a political statement that cannot be infringed on by the government. Government officials telling the public that if they do X more American troops will be killed is just the peak of a very slippery slope. National security does not trump everything, but let's not test it. Call me naive, but rather than fear mongering the best way we can overcome the growing intolerance is through demonstrations like the one Lawrence's Plymouth Church had. Open-minded people from different faiths coming together in unity can create change. As Rev. Jill Jarvis of Unitarian Fellowship said on Saturday, "We do not have to think alike, we do not have to believe alike, but we have to love alike." Megan Adams is an Overland Park junior in international studies and political science.

But now, thanks to a local drummer's documentary, you can see for yourself how the life of a Lawrence rock star lives up to the legend. Tommy Dinnel, drummer for The Brody Buster Band, is releasing a documentary entitled "How Did This Happen?" The film records the real life and times of the local band. "A lot of bands have videos that really try to show how cool they are," Dimmel said. "This documentary seeks to show all the other things that don't happen in documentaries." According to Dimmel, things get dirty, strange and darkly humorous. "I think that when stuff goes horribly wrong it's hilarious and not tragic," Dimmel said. Dimmel, a senior from Overland Park, has been multitasking this semester, working on the film while keeping up with his studies as a photomedia major at the University. He has filmed the band over the last year and a half and accumulated more than 7,200 minutes of footage. Since then, he has edited the mayhem down to a 90-minute documentary, showcasing Murphy's Law in its full effect "Stuff would go wrong all the time like you wouldn't believe," Dimmel said. "The weirdest people would be backstage. The venue owners would just be complete oddballs." He described a situation when the band was playing in Alma, which according to Dimmel, was a city known for its cheese. The opening act for the band was a 90-year-old poet whose performance was continually interrupted by smoke seeping on stage from a field directly next to the venue, where a Civil War reenactment was also occurring that evening. Not only was the artist's show interrupted by his gasping for breath, but the audience also struggled for clean air from the smoke. Dimmel said a lot of the time, the life of a rock band can be hard. Playing in dive bars and small towns like Alma can get tiresome, but that is a major part of his band's life. "We all survive off this stuff," said guitarist, harmonica player and lead singer Brody Buster. "We pay our rent with the money from these gigs." Buster found early success in his musical career playing harmonica at eight years old on a Mississippi street for tips. One day, B.B. King walked by and asked if he would play with him. Buster went on to perform a couple of gigs with B.B. King, including one on "The Late Show line of shows to play, the money doesn't provide enough funds to print their recently finished studio album. Most of the guys have jobs on the side, but that is not the focus of the movie. Chris Handley, bass player, said the movie truly shows what it is like to be a working musician in Lawrence. "It's just a matter of waiting for random crazy stuff to happen," Handley said. The movie is described by Dimmel as a cohesive compilation of home videos that people should find hilarious. "If most documentaries were filming the party the night of, this documentary is filming the hang-over the next morning." Dimmel said. The premiere will be held at the jazzhaus tonight at 8:30 along with a second showing at 10:30. Entrance is $1.

Ilardi explained that SSRIs affect a person's anterior cingulate, which is a part of the brain that controls a patient's "give-a-damn" level. Individuals with severe anxiety disorders can benefit from a little reduced error detection, but for some, like Hardy, it can take an ugly turn. "People were making irreversible lifetime decisions, like divorcing their partners or leaving their longtime boyfriend or girlfriend," Ilardi said. "They never once considered it could be the medications that was doing it. That's just not how we reason about it." "For two months I had absolutely no motivation to do anything at all," Hardy said. with David Letterman." Last year the band opened for King in Kansas City, but Buster's music has since evolved from the simple blues he once played with the blues legend to a more rock and roll sound. He said his band was lucky to have this connection, because now they don't have trouble booking shows in Lawrence and the surrounding area. For some patients emotional numbing is a good thing. But for others the degree to which they experience positive emotions such as love and affection goes down as well. Ilardi said he has known many individuals on SSRIs who have reported falling out of love with their significant others, and they never considered that it could be because of the medications. Here's the really chilling factor: Most of the time, patients have no idea they are experiencing either of these behavioral side effects. According to an article written by Simon Sobo, M.D., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRLs, like Celexa can cause a mental phenomenon called "emotional blunting," which can make patients have a carefree, "well whatever" attitude toward life. Iardi said emotional blunting could lead to two particular types of potentially life-altering side effects: emotional numbing and reduced error detection. "It's kind of a catch-22," Ilardi said. "Emotional blunting reduces your ability to detect emotional blunting. So, the side effects actually reduce your ability to detect the side effects. It's kind of a vast hidden epidemic." the majority of the physicians prescribing SSRIs are general practitioners. Karen Moeller, a clinical associate professor at the University of Kansas Medical Center, doesn't think this is necessarily a bad thing. Hardy wasn't suffering the symptoms of any anxiety disorder, however. She was being treated for one. Her side effects came from an antidepressant called Celexa, which doctors prescribed when she reported having hopeless thoughts and experiencing frequent panic attacks. Steve Ilardi, professor of abnormal psychology, says Hardy isn't alone. "I think that the prescribing of these agents by general practitioners probably leads to more people being recognized and treated for depression," Moeller said. "This helps lead to decrease suicide and better quality of life." Ilardi said another factor causing these side effects to remain largely off the medical radar are the individuals prescribing the SSRIs. However, Ilardi isn't sure this type of doctor would be able to help patients if they encountered these types of problematic side effects. "What I'd love to be able to say is, 'Talk to your doctor,' but you know, at least 75 percent of the people prescribing these meds are not experts," Ilardi said. "Often they are not always aware of these side effects, and they will think it's something else." Hardy said when she was prescribed Celexa, the doctor told her she could experience loss of sexual interest but did not warn her of any other side effects. When she returned with complaints of her severe side effects, the doctor simply dismissed them and told Hardy to stay on the SSRIs for at least six months. If SSRI patients suspect that they are experiencing emotional blunting, Illardi recommends getting some type of informant data, such as asking friends if they're noticed a personality change or comparing diary or journal entries from before and after the drug prescription. Then they should make a decision with the help of their family, friends and maybe a psychiatrist about whether or not to stay on the drug. "We book more gigs than any other band really does around here," Buster said. He stressed that no patient should ever go off SRIs without the supervision of a medical professional, since SSRIs can cause a severe withdrawal syndrome as well. Luckily, Hardy's story has had a happy ending. She said her emotional blunting faded with time and she is now able to sleep and is less hopeless. But she still recalls the first difficulties she had with the drug.

The body of Vivian Martin, 27, was found on the kitchen floor in a burning home on Monday in Youngstown, said police chief Jimmy Hughes. An autopsy report shows she was strangled before the home burned down, and the fire was ruled an arson. Authorities believe Martin's death might be related to the Sept. 15 robbery of a real estate agent who showed an apartment to a pair of brothers in nearby Boardman Township, said Boardman police Capt. Donald Hawkins. Hawkins said the two cases are similar but declined to give more details. About 40 miles west, in a lakefront community near Kent State University, the body of 51-year-old Andrew VonStein was found with a single gunshot wound Tuesday in a vacant white ranch-style house he was trying to sell. Authorities are trying to determine whether the deaths of Martin and VonStein are linked. "A lot of agents are really scared and upset," said Suanne Brown, an office coordinator at RE/MAX Valley Real Estate in Youngstown, where all 24 agents in her office have canceled upcoming open houses scheduled for this weekend. The office has stopped taking on new clients until police are confident that all suspects are in custody, Brown said. Brown said she is reminding agents to take standard precautions when showing homes, such as not going into house first and not bending down or turning your back to clients. Agents are also encouraged to meet new clients at the office, get identification and verify that they are preapproved for loans, all of which can help ensure that the potential buyers are serious and credible.

WWW.KANSAN.COM CUTTING CORNERS 3 Senior cornerback Chris Harris sacks North Dakota State freshman quarterback Esley Thorton in Kansas' 6-3 loss on Sept. 4. Harris has tied his career high in sacks already this season, picking up two in Kansas' first three games. Chris Neal/Kansan Risky blitz paying off for Harris, defense PAGE 1B BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgallowy It is one of the riskiest play calls in football. When it pays off, the opposing quarterback is almost always driven down with a sack. When it fails, it often leads to long touchdown passes. It is the cornerback blitz, and because of the player defensive coordinator Carl Torbush has at the position, it is a risk he is willing to take. Senior cornerback Chris Harris has been a lone bright spot in the Jayhawk pass rush, leading the team with two sacks in three games. That number already matches Harris' career total coming into the season. "Ideally, wed not like our cornerback to be the lead sacker on the team," Torbush said. "We'd like a defensive end or maybe a linebacker, but surely not a corner back." Through three games, the Kansas secondary has allowed only two pass plays of 20-plus yards. Against Southern Miss last Friday, the defense held stand-out junior wide receiver DeAndre Brown to just three receptions for 34 yards. Containing such dynamic receivers downfield allows Torbush to use Harris occasionally in the pass rush game, which has struggled mightily this season. now. But that speaks highly of him that he has the ability not only to get in there and get the quarterback but also to defend the pass downfield." When cornerbacks come on blitzes, it often creates mismatches on offense with linebackers covering speedy wide receivers. Harris "I definitely want to make a play before he gets the ball off. I just want to do my job." "We've had opportunities, especially that first game, for three or four more sacks," Torbush said. "If that happened he probably would not be our leading sack guy right CHRIS HARRISE Senior cornerback said he feels obligated to get to the quarterback before the ball leaves his hand. "I definitely feel that I've go to go and make a play because I'm leaving my other ten guys out there hanging in coverage," Harris said. "I definitely want to make a play before he gets the ball off. I just want to do my job." Cornerbacks were not always accustomed to the pass rush. Just twenty years ago it was rare to see anyone in the secondary get to the opposing quarterback, Torbush said. Such is not the case in today's spread-happy league. "In today's game of football, you'll see cornerbacks with sacks, safeties with sacks, outside line-backers and nickels with sacks," Torbush said. "In the past, that wasn't necessarily true. But I think in today's game of football, because of the multiplicity and the way people are spreading out, you've got to bring people from all angles." Senior defensive end Jake Laptad, widely considered the team's best pass rusher, has been frustrated with double teams all season. But being double teamed creates an advantage for players like Harris, who often have no defender between them and the quarterback in those situations. "It's a little frustrating, but I've got to go out there and give my all," Laptad said. "If I'm drawing double teams, then someone is getting single blocked, which is good for them. It's frustrating, but I'm just going to keep out going out there playing hard." Harris said he expects to be used in more blitz packages this season, while Torbush said he plans on toning down the scheme if his frontline can start bringing the quarterback down. Aggressiveness has been the key in Harris' production, he said. "I'd say I'm a little more aggressive. I definitely go faster and stronger." Harris said. "And outsmarting the offense, they really don't know when I'm coming. Just using my knowledge of the game out there to surprise them."

Pat Roberts from Kansas. Her teammate Meaghan Oven, a marketing major from Broken Arrow, Okla., interned with Oklahoma Congressman John Sullivan. This summer, two Kansas athletes lived by the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," while they interned with politicians in Washington D.C. and experienced the city's culture firsthand. "One of my favorite parts of my internship was getting to know the senator." Sparks said. "Our Senator sat down with us and ate lunch with us for two hours. He is hilarious and is just a great guy." Sparks gave tours of the Capitol, worked in Roberts' office and had the opportunity to attend an intern lecture series given by Colin Powell and Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader. "It was a big deal. All the Congressman were in there and Nancy Pelosi came out and did her speech," Oven said. "You usually see it on C-Span, but it was just cool to see it happen right in front of you." Like Sparks, Oven gave Capitol tours and helped in her senator's office. She said one of her most memorable experiences with the internship was going into the House Gallery to watch House members vote. Oven and Sparks lived together in D.C. at George Washington University in an apartment during their five-week internship program. Both applied directly to their respective senators' offices for their internships. When Oven and Sparks were not interning, they were exploring the diverse culture of the district, which included eating cupcakes where the TLC show "D.C. Cupcakes" is filmed. "We literally made a to-do list and went through everything on the list, and we got it all done by the time we left," Oven said. Oven said she planned to attend law school when she graduated from the University "We went rowing on the Potomac together. That was our training." Oven said. together to stay in shape for the rowing season. Oven and Sparks also worked and said the district would be a great place to work. Sparks said she wanted to continue working in politics. "I want to work in communications in politics and I would definitely go back to D.C. and work," Sparks said. In the meantime, the two will continue training in anticipation of the team's first meet — the Head of the Oklahoma — which will take place in October. 1935 — Edited by Dana Meredith Photo courtesy of Cassie Sparks Meaghan Oven and Cassie Sparks fit in some rowing training on the Potomac River this summer.

Albarracin Jayhawks need fans' support BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com Redemption is a rare opportunity to rise from the ashes and mend one's image after an unfortunate mishap. Athletics is the biggest area where I see redemption as an important and cyclical task. Whether athletes are making up for mistakes on the field or off, there seems to be a weekly battle against the previous week's stats and essentially, their success. This comes with no real help from the fans unless they are endlessly loving and supporting as they should be. Take our beloved Jayhawks for example. Soon after the first game there were already people talking about how coach Turner Gill was not a good fit just because we lost the game, even though most fans had been excited about him since his hiring was announced earlier this year. He immediately and unfairly had to turn things around quickly to get the attention of the nation back. The same thing happened with the team. I have never been more embarrassed as a fan as I was in the first home game where there were boos coming from the student section directed at players who had dropped passes or fumbled. I have always thought that cheering for your team and booing the other team was just part of getting into sports, but it has to be against some unwritten sports code to boo your own player. Imagine the football team booing you if you fail a test. This should not be a time of redemption at Kansas simply because they have done nothing heinous. Okay, they lost a couple games so far, but there is a new coach, a freshman starting at quarterback and, oh yeah, we are only three games into the season. Honestly the team does not owe the fans anything, which seems obvious, but I think we forget that. They play for themselves, for their own dreams of NFL glory or just to carry on the excitement from high school. Yes it is great when they win, but if they do not, they should not have to prove themselves to fans the next week just to bring back attention. The best example I can think of for modern sports redemption would be Michael Vick. Back in 2006 he was facing dog fighting charges and jail time. His future in the NFL was not bright, but on Tuesday Vick was announced as the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. He committed a crime, he did his time and then he just put his head down and worked to get his game back to the top. I think there are a lot of things to learn from Vick, but the biggest is that redemption is possible. He came back from being one of the most controversial players to a star. The Jayhawks have done nothing criminal; it is not illegal to lose, so they should not have to go up and down every week. I wish them the best however, and I hope to never hear booing at a Jayhawk again.

Last Monday, the Saints traveled to take on the 49ers, a team that seemed to be in shambles. The Seattle Seahawks blew them out in week one and rumors were swirling about their offensive coordinators' competency. THE MORNING BREW Come game time, the 49ers gave the Saints a pretty good scare before losing on a last-second field goal. Embattled quarterback Alex Smith played well enough that critics are now willing to give him a second shot at living up to the hype of a No.1 overall pick. Regardless of the outcome the 49ers raised their game for prime time. Report on Mangino and job is not true struggled in the Jets and Ravens game, but the defenses played well. Chargers. The Baltimore Ravens beat the New York Jets, winning the first Monday Night Football game hosted at the Jets' new stadium. Where is this resurgence of play coming from? Maybe it is just that it's early and fans are unaware exactly how teams will fare this season. Maybe players are afraid of a lockout, a season without playing, in 2011 and feel that this might be the last time they get to showcase their talents on national TV for a while. This is why football is the most entertaining sport we have. The parity in the league makes it so that even the best teams have to show up every week; players can't afford to relax for even one play. That is, unless, they're playing the Buffalo Bills. Except for the Manning-Bowl-turned-blowout last Sunday night, all the prime time games have been entertaining.

Moe would rank among the early front-runners to emerge as this year's Big 12 Newcomer of the Year. Yet Moe (6 feet, 200 pounds) remains fairly anonymous on the national landscape, even after last week's stunning 68-yard touchdown play with 51 seconds remaining that lifted the Tigers to a 27-24 victory over San Diego State. In Missouri, however, he's a budding legend on pace to catch 120 passes this season. That marked the extent of his statistical contributions to the Tigers' offense before he morphed into the go-to guy for quarterback Blaine Gabbert in September. Moe's brief appearances in 2009 disqualify him from newcomer honors in 2010. But they cannot prevent him from leading the NCAA in receptions this season. After three games, that should be Moe's new goal heading into Saturday's game between Missouri (3-0) and Miami of Ohio (2-1). Moe ranks third nationally in receptions (30), one behind Oklahoma's Ryan Broyles and four behind Bowling Green's Kamar Jorden, the national paceeter with 34. But Moe, a sophomore, played in 10 games last year. He made two catches, covering 8 yards, in a 52-12 rout of Furman. Moe, the Tigers' slot receiver, averages 10 receptions per game, 9.9 yards per catch and 99.7 yards per game. But no play has been bigger than his catch-and-run score against the Aztecs that coach Gary Pinkel called the latest "huge" contribution from a former high school quarterback who was recruited to play safety before coaches flipped him to the offensive side of the ball. "Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time situations," Pinkel said, reflecting on Moe's last-minute TD that ranks on the short list of the Big 12's biggest plays in 2010. In Pinkel's estimation, Moe simply is following up on progress made during fall drills, when he bonded with Gabbert, a quarterback in search of a target to replace the departed Danario Alexander (113 catches, 1,787 vards, 14 TDs last season). Moe, who topped the 2,000- yard mark as both a passer (2,557) and a runner (2,029) during his senior season in high school, considers his time at quarterback an asset in expediting his learning curve at receiver. "He knows he is good now and he has a chance to be a real good player," Pinkel said. "He is running the ball much better after the catch, so he makes a lot more plays." Pinkel said Moe's confidence began growing in those two a-day sessions and has yet to stop. "It definitely helps," Moe said. "When I was in high school, I had a buddy who could always find the soft spots in (zone coverage), so I try to be like that. Some people just have a good feel for where that's at. And I like to think I'm one of those people." Moe also tossed some credit in Pinkel's direction for helping him develop quickly at this new position. And it had nothing to do with X's or O's. Instead, Moe said the presence of two sports psychologists on the Tigers staff has helped him, particularly in adjusting to a new position and rebounding from foot surgery shortly after enrolling in 2009. "I think it's been a tremendous help," Moe said. "I really needed that last year. It's just focus. A lot of the time for young guys, like myself, it's hard to go from one thing to another and ... (continue) concentrating on what you need to concentrate on." Going forward, Moe's focus should be on the top of the Big 12 and NCAA receptions list.

Commonwealth Games Federation chief executive Mike Hooper told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Fennell would arrive Thursday and had requested a meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Fennell's arrival comes as organizers struggle to cope with unfinished buildings, a filthy athletes' village, a bridge collapse near the main stadium and numerous other problems. But even as star athletes withdrew and doubts over the staging of the Commonwealth Games gathered momentum, Indian officials were attempting to play down concerns as an international overreaction. - "Athletes and guests should not bother about such small matters," Urban Development Minister Jaipal Reddy told CNN-IBN television about the unclean accommodations, insisting that the Commonwealth Games village would be immaculate by the time events begin Oct. 3.

KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2010 / SPORTS 5B HOCKEY Hockey Club works on team unity BY BLAKE SCHUSTER bschuster@kansan.com Whether on prime time television or a Friday afternoon, football is always an acceptable occasion for a mass gathering. The KU Hockey Club couldn't agree more. While Turner Gill was busy trying to orchestrate a comeback against Southern Mississippi he, and the rest of the football team, were unknowing participants in an event planned to bring another team closer together. Last Friday night, the hockey team piled into the corner area of the 23rd Street Brewery and watched the football game, shared stories and made new memories throughout the game. The get-together was part of an effort to bring the team closer as a unit. With plenty of new freshman joining, the team looked to establish an off-ice relationship between the returning veterans and the rookies. It was the first time the team had ever organized an off-ice get-together and it appeared as though there would be more. The mood was light and carefree, and except for the football game, the night was a success in the eyes of the team. It wasn't the normal lunchroom setting with the youngsters sitting by themselves; the veterans quickly spread out and spent time with their new teammates. With four games behind them the team had more than enough to get the conversation flowing. Grant Worden, alternate captain and veteran defenseman, was looking for the night to be a success. "Usually our get-togethers are unorganized. If things go well we might try and get some more of these set up," Worden said. With a grueling season schedule already in progress the team takes pleasure in off-ice activities. Practice twice during the week, and games on weekends take up the majority of the time the team has together. Team bonding activities are a fresh way to get the team together without the stress of the season to worry about. "The more we get together outside of hockey the better we will be as a team." Worden said. With tough games coming up, including two games against Mizzou, the team wants to create as much chemistry as possible. Watching football, it seems, is the way to do it. — Edited by Anna Nordling Espinosa and Morse help Nationals win MLB WASHINGTON Danny Espinosa hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning and a triple, and Michael Morse added a solo shot, helping the Washington Nationals beat the Houston Astros 4-3 on Wednesday night before a crowd of 12,213. September call-up Espinosas fifth homer barely cleared the out-of-town scoreboard in right field off the second pitch from reliever Jeff Fulchino (2-1). Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez walked Justin Maxwell leading off the inning. Espinosa scored Washington's first run of the game after tripling in the third, coming home on lan Desmond's infield single. Morse's 12th homer came on Rodriguez's first pitch of the fourth. Tyler Clippard (11-6) earned the win despite allowing two inherited runners to score in the seventh. Nationalists starter Jason Marquis pitched into the seventh, allowing seven hits and two runs. He's allowed two or fewer earned runs in five of his last seven starts, showing signs of coming back after having right elbow surgery in May. Associated Press COLLEGE FOOTBALL Rodgers brothers are an asset to Oregon State MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE BOISE, Idaho — More often than not, an Oregon State offensive play ends with the ball in the hands of a Rodgers. James, a senior wide receiver, and Jacquizz, a junior tailback, are brothers from Richmond, Texas. They have combined to produce more than 60 percent of the Beavers' offense this year — and James is responsible for nearly all of their kick-return vards. Stopping the diminutive but elusive brothers will be the overwhelming key for the Boise State defense in Saturday's showdown between the No. 3 Broncos and No. 24 Beavers at Bronco Stadium (6:12 p.m. MDT, ABC). "You just look at their stats every game and you can tell how we've done." Oregon State coach Mike Rilev said. In the opening loss to TCU,the brothers combined for 285 all-purpose yards. In last week's defeat of Louisville, they combined for 397 yards. . They don't usually have to wait long. "Both of us love having the ball in our hands," Jacquizz said. "We just try to make plays when we get a chance." Jacquizet gets about 20 carries a game and caught 78 passes last year. He has 3,691 yards from scrimmage and 38 touchdowns in 26 college games. He became the only freshman ever named the Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year in 2008, when he carried 37 times in the Beavers' upset of No. 1 USC. "He has as much agility as any player I've ever seen," Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. "He can stop and start on a dime. . . If it's clogged up, that's almost to his advantage." James touched the ball about 10 times a game on offense last year, including 91 catches. He also gets the ball on fly sweeps from the wide receiver position and occasionally as a tailback in a two-Rodgers backfield. He also is a dangerous return man. He leads the nation in all-purpose yards (226.5 per game) and ranks in the top 20 in punt returns (14.0) and kickoff returns (30.1). He has 25 touchdowns in 40 college games. "(James) is a threat to go the distance at any time," Boise State special teams coach Jeff Choate said. "He's as good a combo return guy as there in the country. It's very rare to find a guy who has the knack and the skillset to be good at both." So hard to find, in fact, that James was barely recruited - despite playing his high school football in intensely scouted Texas. 1 A friend called Riley in January 2007 to recommend James. Signing day was about a month away. James (5-foot-7, 188 pounds) visited and committed. Jacquizz (5-7, 191), a year behind him and holding eight offers but none to the elite programs in the Texas area, only visited one school Oregon State. "That one phone call really impacted our lives," Riley said. "James is one of the great all-purpose players in America and Quizz is one of the best all-around running backs in America. Besides that, they have really impacted our team with who they are as people." The Broncos hope to prevent them from impacting Saturday's game. Tackling will be crucial — and Boise State has done a solid job in that area so far this year. "They are two very dynamic individuals," defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski said. "... They're fast and quick and very athletic, but they are also strong. They have great balance. You don't see them go down very many times from an arm tackle." Some of that is athleticism. Some of it is attitude. "Tremendous desire to win," Riley said. "Their competitive edge is out of the roof." lacquizz, for example, rushed for 132 yards last week against Louisville to break a three-game MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Texas Christian Stansly Maponga (90) grabs the leg of Oregon State Jacquit Rodgers (1) during the second half of play at CowboyBases in Arlington, Texas, Saturday, September 4, 2010. drought between 100-yard games. drought between 100-yard games. He was still frustrated after the game — a 35-28 win. "it's a win," he said, "but me, I'm not satisfied." COLLEGE FOOTBALL North Carolina players serve will serve suspensions RALEIGH, N.C. — The NCAA will require University of North Carolina starting defensive backs Kendric Burney and Deunta Williams to repay benefits and serve suspensions, the school announced Wednesday. Burney must sit out six games and Williams four games after being ruled in violation of NCAA agent benefits and preferential treatment rules, according to a school news release. North Carolina will appeal the length of the suspensions. The violations occurred when Burney took trips to Atlanta, Las Vegas and California and Williams made two trips to California. Although both players paid for part of their travel expenses, the NCAA has ruled that there are still benefits they must repay. Burney received $1,333 in benefits and must repay $575.19 to a charity of his choice in order to regain eligibility, while Williams received $1,426 in benefits and must repay $450.67 to charity.

The Jayhawks lost the game 31-16. Freshmen RBs eager to prove they can handle the burden FOOTBALL BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com twitter.com/c_cthibodeaux As much as he stands by his hair, James Sims gets more flak than fellow freshman running back Deshaun Sands. The two new go-to backs, who coach Turner Gill announced this week, stand out on the team, especially with their helmets off. Sands has a head full of spaghetti-like dreams. Sims said he gets called Kid 'n Play from "House Party" or Gerald from "Hey Arnold" because of his flat-top. "Everyone knows about the little dreadlocks," Sims said. "No one has seen my hairstyle in Lawrence." "It's my style," he said. Originally, Sims said, he was going to cut his hairdo at the end of the year. But now, it looks as if it's here to stay. As the only two players on the team with a rushing touchdown this season, the duo has a spark that the Jayhawks have lacked in the running game. "If they want to put it on our backs," Sands said, "we'll carry it." At the beginning of the season, Gill said he wanted to have an every-down type of back capable of 20 to 25 carries per game. With a running game that averages 3.2 yards per carry on the season, Kansas needs all the help it can get. Sims said if given the opportunity, he would be able to carry the team with 20 carries a game. Anything the coaches need out of him, he said, he'll do. Senior lineman Brad Thorson said he likes the rushing-by-committee better than putting the load all on Sims. "He's young." Thorson said. "He can't last the whole season taking 20 to 30 carries." According to players, Sims and Sands won't be the only running backs with significance. Most of the guys are still looking at senior running back Angus Quigley, who was thought to be the feature back earlier this season, to be a steady force in the backfield. After being sacked 10 times in three games, freshman quarterback Jordan Webb is all for a crowded backfield to take the pressure off. acknowledged that he "The more the merrier," he said. And to a certain extent, the running backs have something to prove. Quigley is trying to earn his playing time back. Sims is responding to a rough outing against Southern Miss when it took him 20 carries to reach 74 yards. Sands just wants to score when it actually matters. "I felt like my first touchdown was nothing," he said. Sands had a touchdown against Southern Miss when they were already down 21-3. Even though it was early in the third quarter, he said it was basically garbage-time. But Sands was all smiles this week. Sims was battered after practice Wednesday, but still upbeat. If all goes as planned, they will be a ferocious tandem for the layhawks in a couple years. Maybe by that time, they will have a name for themselves like duos in the NFL. "We're in the lab thinking of something." Sands said. Though undefeated, Big 12 teams face challenge to climb up AP poll - Edited by Clark Goble BIG 12 FOOTBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS NORMAN, Okla. - When Big 12 football fans take a quick glimpse at the top of the rankings, there's something missing. Three weeks into the season and with seven teams still undefeated, the conference doesn't have a team in the top 5. No. 6 Nebraska, No. 7 Texas and No. 8 Oklahoma are there waiting in the wings, but each has some work to do to get into the mix for the national championship. The presence of No. 3 Boise State and No. 4 TCU has the Big 12 in an unusual situation. Not since 2006, when Texas and Oklahoma each suffered early losses, has the league failed to have a top 5 team in the AP poll three weeks into the season. That could start sorting itself out after Texas and Oklahoma play in Dallas on Oct. 2 and the Longhorns visit Nebraska two weeks later. If any of those three teams are still unbeaten, the wins could result in a bump in the polls — and in the BCS standings, when they come out Oct. 17. "Long term, if you have an unde feated Big 12 team, there's no doubt in my mind they will finish ahead of Boise in the BCS and probably ahead in the polls," BCS analyst Jerry Palm said. The same goes for TCU. With three teams in the top 10, there's enough power in the Big 12 that anyone who can run the table will move up over time. “It’s hard to go undefeated.” Texas defensive end Sam Acho said. “We know that if we focus on what we have to do, everything will work out.” Alpha Delta Pi would like to congratulate its amazing new Alpha class.

The Sooners edged Utah State 31-24 and Air Force 27-24, with a blowout win against Florida State in between. The Longhorns fell even after winning at Texas Tech, where they had lost in three of their last six visits. Meanwhile, Nebraska racked up perhaps the conference's most impressive win with a 56-21 rout at Washington and leapfrogged the other two Big 12 schools. Yet there's still more work to do to get into the two coveted positions at the top. "There are some things you can't control, and that's one of them," Huskers coach Bo Pelini said. "All you can do is play the best football Welcome home! you can. That's something, there's no way you have any control over. All you can control is winning as many games as you can." But there's a scenario where even that may not be enough, Palm said. "For a Big 12 team, it's just win all of your games. If anybody can do that, whether it's Texas, Oklahoma or Nebraska, they're going to be in the national championship discussion," he said. "Nobody's catching Alabama or Ohio State. Nobody's catching those two. If they finish undefeated and a Big 12 team finished undefeated, then they're Auburn." Auburn famously got left out when it went undefeated through the 2004 season, with unbeaten USC and Oklahoma teams playing for the title in the Orange Bowl. Early on, though, the Big 12 has been holding its ground. Its 27-5 record in nonconference play is the best of any league in the country, even if some of the wins haven't been impressive. By comparison, the league was 23-9 in nonconference play and there were only four undefeated teams left at this point last year. Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Missouri and Kansas State are also unbeaten through three games. "If you look, you'll see that most coaches in our league will tell that you better be ready to play every week because there's enough guys that are making plays on offense and guys that can shut you down on defense if you're not prepared," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.

Filling the gap in children's scoliosis treatment University researchers are working on a more accurate spinal model BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com For every 1.000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment. Lisa Friis, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, said there are no available spines from deceased children with scoliosis to be modeled off of. "Unfortunately, a 75-year-old A federal grant of more than $1 million was awarded to the engineering department to fund spinal replica research. Friis, who has worked as a research scientist in orthopedics since 2001, said the grant was well-founded. male's spine does not really represent a 12-year-old girl's, but this is what they are using to test spinal implants on," Friis said. "The spine is a series of connected joints," Friis said. "If you do something to one level, it will affect all levels up and down. If we can create models and find how treatment influences functions on adjacent levels, we will be able to design implants better." don't have as high of success rates as other surgeries, so these are the types of things we are looking at now." "The spinal industry is about 15 to 25 years behind other areas of orthopedics," Friis said. "Some spinal surgery procedures still The lab has successfully created a model of an adult lumbar spine, which has enabled researchers to now begin creating a pediatric model spine. These kinds of surgeries include spinal implants and fusions, which are used to treat scoliosis. Erin Lewis, a graduate student in bioengineering from Fort Scott, said medical device companies rely on a scaled-down model of an adult spine, which can lead to error and confusion. "Babies are much more flexible, for example, and in some places have cartilage instead of bone," Lewis said. "Those kinds of properties just don't change overnight, so we are trying to find out how surgeries can work with that." Lewis leads a group of graduate students and undergraduate students who help with the research. The group works closely with a pediatric surgeon from Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and medical device companies, which offer their insight. Creating a pediatric spine replica with nothing to work off of and measure from creates many challenges. For example, the engineers know that children are more flexible and their tissues are less dense, and that they will grow. However, they do not know to what extent. "It's extremely difficult to create a model of a spine when we don't know the target values and also incorporate somehow the phystological changes that occur in kids," Lewis said.

"It's mv style," he said. The two new go-to backs, who coach Turner Gill announced this week, stand out on the team, especially with their helmets off. Sands has a head full of spaghetti-like dreads. Sims said he gets called Kid n' Play from "House Party" or Gerald from "Hey Arnold" because of his flat-top. "Everyone knows about the little dreadlocks," Sims said. "No one has seen my hairstyle in Lawrence." Originally, Sims said, he was going to cut his hairdo at the end of the year. But now, it looks as if it's here to stay. As the only two players on the team with a rushing touchdown this season, the duo has a spark that the Jayhawks have lacked in the running game. "If they want to put it on our backs," Sands said, "we'll carry it." At the beginning of the season, Gill said he wanted to have an every-down type of back capable of 20 to 25 carries per game. With a running game that averages 3.2 yards per carry on the season, Kansas needs all the help it can get. Sims said if given the opportunity, he would be able to carry the team with 20 carries a game. Anything the coaches need out of him, he said, he'll do. Senior lineman Brad Thorson said he likes the rushing-by-committee better than putting the load all on Sims. "He's young." Thorson said. "He can't last the whole season taking 20 to 30 carries." According to players, Sims and Sands won't be the only running backs with significance. Most of the guys are still looking at senior running back Angus Quigley, who was thought to be the feature back earlier this season, to be a steady force in the backfield. After being sacked 10 times in three games, freshman quarterback Jordan Webb is all for a crowded backfield to take the pressure off. "The more the merrier," he said. And to a certain extent, the running backs have something to prove. Quigley is trying to earn his playing time back. Sims is responding to a rough outing against Southern Miss when it took him 20 carries to reach 74 yards. Sands just wants to score when it actually matters. I rett like my first touchdown was nothing" he said. Sands had a touchdown against Southern Miss when they were already down 21-3. Even though it was early in the third quarter, he said it was basically garbage-time. But Sands was all smiles this week. Sims was battered after practice Wednesday, but still upbeat. If all goes as planned, they will be a ferocious tandem for the lahayws in a couple years. Maybe by that time, they will have a name for themselves like duos in the NF "We're in the lab thinking of something." Sands said. Though undefeated, Big 12 teams face challenge to climb up AP poll - Edited by Clark Goble BIG 12 FOOTBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS NORMAN, Okla. — When Big 12 football fans take a quick glimpse at the top of the rankings, there's something missing. Three weeks into the season and with seven teams still undefeated, the conference doesn't have a team in the top 5. No. 6 Nebraska, No. 7 Texas and No. 8 Oklahoma are there waiting in the wings, but each has some work to do to get into the mix for the national championship. The presence of No. 3 Boise state and No. 4 TCU has the Big 12 in an unusual situation. Not since 2006, when Texas and Oklahoma each suffered early losses, has the league failed to have a top 5 team in the AP poll three weeks into the season. That could start sorting itself out after Texas and Oklahoma play in Dallas on Oct. 2 and the Longhorns visit Nebraska two weeks later. If any of those three teams are still unbeaten, the wins could result in a bump in the polls — and in the BCS standings, when they come out Oct. 17. "Long term, if you have an undefeated Big 12 team, there's no doubt in my mind they will finish ahead of Boise in the BCS and probably ahead in the polls," BCS analyst Jerry Palm said. The same goes for TCU. With three teams in the top 10, there's enough power in the Big 12 that anyone who can run the table will move up over time. "It's hard to go undefeated," Texas defensive end Sam Acho said. "We know that if we focus on what we have to do, everything will work out." Alpha Delta Pi would like to congratulate its amazing new Alpha class.

The Sooners edged Utah State 31-24 and Air Force 27-24, with a blowout win against Florida State in between. The Longhorns fell even after winning at Texas Tech, where they had lost in three of their last six visits. Meanwhile, Nebraska racked up perhaps the conference's most impressive win with a 56-21 rout at Washington and leapfrogged the other two Big 12 schools. Yet there's still more work to do to get into the two coveted positions at the top. "There are some things you can't control, and that's one of them," Huskers coach Bo Pelini said. "All you can do is play the best football you can. That's something, there's no way you have any control over. All you can control is winning as many games as you can." "For a Big 12 team, it's just win all of your games. If anybody can do that, whether it's Texas, Oklahoma or Nebraska, they're going to be in the national championship discussion," he said. But there's a scenario where even that may not be enough, Palm said. Welcome home! "Nobody's catching Alabama or Ohio State. Nobody's catching those two. If they finish undefeated and a big 12 team finished undefeated, then they're Auburn." Auburn famously got left out when it went undefeated through the 2004 season, with unbeaten USC and Oklahoma teams playing for the title in the Orange Bowl. Early on, though, the Big 12 has been holding its ground. Its 27-5 record in nonconference play is the best of any league in the country, even if some of the wins haven't been impressive. By comparison, the league was 23-9 in nonconference play and there were only four undefeated teams left at this point last year. Oklahoma State, Texas A&M Missouri and Kansas State are also unbeaten through three games. "If you look, you'll see that most coaches in our league will tell that you better be ready to play every week because there's enough guys that are making plays on offense and guys that can shut you down on defense if you're not prepared," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.

Filling the gap in children's scoliosis treatment HEALTH University researchers are working on a more accurate spinal model B MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com Lisa Fris, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, said there are no available spines from deceased children with scoliosis to be modeled off of. For every 1,000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment. "Babies are much more flexible, for example, and in some places have cartilage instead of bone," Lewis said. "Those kinds of properties just don't change overnight, so we are trying to find out how surgeries can work with that." Lewis leads a group of graduate students and undergraduate students who help with the research. The group works closely with a pediatric surgeon from Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and medical device companies, which offer their insight. Creating a pediatric spine replica with nothing to work off of and measure from creates many challenges. For example, the engineers know that children are more flexible and their tissues are less dense, and that they will grow. However, they do not know to what extent. "It's extremely difficult to create a model of a spine when we don't know the target values and also incorporate somehow the physiological changes that occur in kids," Lewis said. "Unfortunately, a 75-year-old Erin Lewis, a graduate student in bioengineering from Fort Scott, said medical device companies rely on a scaled-down model of an adult spine, which can lead to error and confusion. "The spine is a series of connected joints," Friis said. "If you do something to one level, it will affect all levels up and down. If we can create models and find how treatment influences functions on adjacent levels, we will be able to design implants better." A federal grant of more than $1 million was awarded to the engineering department to fund spinal replica research. Friis, who has worked as a research scientist in orthopedics since 2001, said the grant was well-founded. don't have as high of success rates as other surgeries, so these are the types of things we are looking at now" "The spinal industry is about 15 to 25 years behind other areas of orthopedics."

The first, hands down, is baked goods: what I eat when I'm really stressed out about school. I have no doubt this comes from my mom. I have vivid memories of her yelling at the television when the KU basketball team was losing a game. Her face would turn red and, I swear, smoke would stream out of her ears. Then, like clockwork, she would go into the kitchen during halftime and make cookies. Now, don't get me wrong, I love cookies. I would never complain about someone making me cookies, but I learned at an early age that baking is a good way to deal with stress, whether it be a test or a tragic loss to K-State. In fact, this past weekend, amidst the long and painful stretch that is my quarter-life crisis, I not only made dark chocolate brownies, but also strawberry and blueberry muffins. Sadly, these didn't last long, as my kitten got a hold of a small fraction of them while no one was looking (he also loves baked goods). But there's something about the methodical process of mixing all of the ingredients together, placing them in the pan and waiting for them to be done that's incredibly satisfying — not to mention the sweet sugary aroma that fills my house afterward. I forget about the mountain of homework I have to do and momentarily stop thinking about becoming an actual adult in two and a half months (scary!). But, as yummy as brownies and muffins are, they don't always do the trick. The second category of foods I have a very close relationship with can be summed up quite easily: potatoes — of all varieties. A good starchy potato holds the answer to many of my problems. It's what I eat when I go into bouts of deep depression. For example, when FOX cancelled *Firefly*, I ate a family size bag of potato chips. When I'm feeling nostalgic (aka terrified of graduation), I eat potato wedges. And when I really start to miss my boyfriend, who goes to school in Colorado, I bring out the big guns: mashed potatoes. I eat a lot of mashed potatoes. Throwing a full stick of butter in the mix doesn't hurt, either. After all, cardiac arrest would undoubtedly put a halt to all of my problems, anyway. For more on comfort food, check out Jacque's article on page 11 and afterwards, eat up.

I think I know what you mean: You want some physical escalation of any kind that leads down the romantic/intimate lane. My first question for you is have you made any sort of move or advance that could be interpreted as romantic? If you are waiting for her to make the first move then you will be waiting forever. palace a palace of romance. The majority of women worry about the connotations of making the first move, and want you to make it. This doesn't mean jump her bones, nor flat out asking her if you can kiss her (terrible idea). It means that you should verbally escalate the relationship by letting this gal know how you feel. Move a little closer on the couch and get confident about your words. It sounds like you are at the point of the dating process where you want this person to see you as a potential romantic suitor, so build up the romance. Fix up your place. Make sure it looks clean and inviting. Try setting the mood and lighting some candles. I know that sounds cheesy, but it works. Take some pride on making your Next time you are on your couch don't watch tosh.0 (although it is a great show). Don't watch anything. Build romance, put on some good tunes and let your friends Al, Barry, Prince, and Marvin help you out. You'd be amazed on how setting the right atmosphere will breed romance and intimacy. If you really want to escalate things, invite her over for some chocolate taste testing. Everyone loves chocolate, which is an aphrodisiac. While you are both enjoying the mood, your chocolate, and maybe some strawberries, listen to some Sade. Sade is responsible for the conception of half of you that are reading this column. Putting on some Sade is like fishing with dynamite. You may have noticed that nowhere have I mentioned alcohol. If you want to incorporate some wine or champagne, fine, but you really don't need it. Confidence is incredibly sexy. In the end, let this gal know your romantic intentions. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there. If you have gone on a few dates and things look good, you have nothing to worry about. MIKE ANDERSON Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat?

Kristen Tebow, a woman from Manhattan, just wanted to make friends her freshman year at Kansas State University. On a typical weekend night, she made plans with a new friend from marching band. She and her newly found friend visited a typical bar on the outskirts of Manhattan. Tebow's friend got her a drink; a few moments later she felt like the "world went crazy" and passed out in the bar's bathroom. The next morning she woke up naked in a hotel room just outside Manhattan, covered in bruises and scratches. Seven naked men slept on the floor around her. The men paid Tebow's friend to drug and bring her to the hotel. Her friend set her up for a night she would never forget. She turned into a victim of sex trafficking that night. All she wanted to do was have a 2. Mood Swings - People who become easily angry often turn out to be controlling N|6A in or s Other Signs: 3.

HEALTH Filling the gap in children's scoliosis treatment For every 1,000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment. University researchers are working on a more accurate spinal model BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com Lewis leads a group of graduate students and undergraduate students who help with the research. The group works closely with a pediatric surgeon from Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and medical device companies, which offer their insight. Creating a pediatric spine replica with nothing to work off of and measure from creates many challenges. For example, the engineers know that children are more flexible and their tissues are less dense, and that they will grow. However, they do not know to what extent. Lisa Friis, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, said there are no available spines from deceased children with scoliosis to be modeled off of. "It's extremely difficult to create a model of a spine when we don't know the target values and also incorporate somehow the physiological changes that occur in kids," Lewis said. "Unfortunately, a 75-year-old A federal grant of more than $1 million was awarded to the engineering department to fund spinal replica research. Friis, who has worked as a research scientist in orthopedics since 2001, said the grant was well-founded. "The spine is a series of connected joints", Friis said. "If you do something to one level, it will affect all levels up and down. If we can create models and find how treatment influences functions on adjacent levels, we will be able to design implants better." "The spinal industry is about 15 to 25 years behind other areas of orthopedics," Friis said. "Some spinal surgery procedures still male's spine does not really represent a 12-year-old girl's, but this is what they are using to test spinal implants on," Friis said. "Babies are much more flexible, for example, and in some places have cartilage instead of bone," Lewis said. "Those kinds of properties just don't change overnight, so we are trying to find out how surgeries can work with that." Scoliosis surgeries involve Erin Lewis, a graduate student in bioengineering from Fort Scott, said medical device companies rely on a scaled-down model of an adult spine, which can lead to error and confusion. don't have as high of success rates as other surgeries, so these are the types of things we are looking at now." The lab has successfully created a model of an adult lumbar spine, which has enabled researchers to now begin creating a pediatric model spine. These kinds of surgeries include spinal implants and fusions, which are used to treat scoliosis.

DISTANCE ELLEN SHEFTEL Sweet Separation: Although being apart may pose challenges for couples in long distance relationships, with a lot of communication and trust, the relationship can grow and prosper. Meredith Oline hears her phone ring and rushes to answer it. She beams when she sees it's her boyfriend, Shane Konicki, a senior at Wichita State University. Since phone calls between the couple are few and far between, Olney, sophomore at KU, enjoys each one. Olney, like many other KU students, is involved in a long distance relationship. Making time to talk to a partner who lives elsewhere can be difficult, but Olney and Konicki stand together despite popular belief that long distance relationships don't always work. Olney first met Konicki in fifth grade when they did musicals together. She had a crush on Konicki until freshman year of high school when he moved to Canada. When he returned to Wichita in 2007, Olney says they immediately reconniced. "The reason why I still had a crush on him was because he was the first boy I lived." HOW THEY DO IT Though both Olney and Konicki are from Wichita, the couple's one-year relationship has been mostly long distance. Olney commutes back to Wichita about once every two weeks, and even though Konicki wants to go to film school in Chicago, the couple has decided to stay together. "I think the distance actually makes us closer," Olney says. "We really don't fight that much because that smothering effect isn't there." Long distance relationships require more effort than ones where couples can interact frequently face to face. While phone calls, text messages and emails make things easier, Olney says it's not the same as seeing each other in person. Sarah Lutz, Overland Park senior has it a bit harder than Olney. Lutz met her current boyfriend, Kurt Mester, at a three-day church camp retreat. He currently lives in Chicago after graduation while she attends KU. She says their one-year relationship works because Mester is more mature and focused on the future. With IF YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT IT, DON'T DO IT Though long distance relationships may not seem hard to maintain, the reality is they take a lot of time and effort. The couple must make a commitment and be dedicated to each other. Olney admits that being far away from each other for prolonged periods of time can ignite jealousy. She says if she's worried or upset she'll ask Konicki about it, trusting his answers. Olney says it's important to not be jealous and understand the relationship will be hard. "It all comes down to if you want them in your life, without being there physically all the time, or just not in your life at all, period." Olney says. For Lutz, seeing Mester's friends spend more time with him than she does makes her jealous., but "We talk through it and know each other's friends well enough to know we shouldn't feel that way," Lutz says. Lutz says long distance relationships are hard and not for everyone. "I definitely wouldn't recommend it to jealous people or people who can't budget time. The time between seeing each other can be the hardest and frustrating because it feels like a waiting period," Lutz says. Hitting rough patches seems to be inevitable for all relationships, including long distance ones. Olney admits to being frustrated at times. "It comes down to whether or not you think you would be happier apart," Olney says. "For us, the answer is no. I think we would rather not be together physically all the time and still have each other in the end." Lutz says early on in the relationship was a bit of a rough patch because of the distance. "I would constantly question whether or not this was a good situation to put myself in," Lutz says. HOW TO COPE Being in a long distance relationship can cause additional stress and anxiety. Dr. John Wade, Outreach Coordinator for the Counseling and Psychological Services at KU says a significant number of students seek help at CAPS for coping with long distance relationships. Wade also says that different people will be affected differently by being in a long distance relationship, but is a higher chance for uncertainty about the other person's actions. This and not communicating often can result in depression and loneliness. When it comes to advice to students involved in a long distance relationship, Wade emphasizes communication and balance. Communication is important in any relationship, but the importance of it goes up in a long distance one. He says communication is especially significant in a long distance relationship because interaction is less frequent and there is more room for misinterpretation. "Having a healthy balance of friends and other activities makes it easier to cope with the inherent strains of a long distance relationship." Wade says. WHAT MAKES THE DISTANCE WORTH THE EFFORT At the end of the day, either the distance is worth all of the effort or it isn't. For Olney, the distance makes the heart grow fonder. "There's nothing more exciting to me than knowing I get to see him soon," Olney says. Lutz thinks the relationship will work if you're with the right person. She says when she and Mester are together the distance doesn't matter and the light at the end of the tunnel makes it all worth it. "Every relationship, long distance or not, has it's hardships. Ours is distance," Lutz says. Jp ❤️ Do you think long distance relationships work? Why or why not? I am not a doctor, but I can help you.

Kristen Tebow, a woman from Manhattan, just wanted to make friends her freshman year at Kansas State University. On a typical weekend night, she made plans with a new friend from marching band. She and her newly found friend visited a typical bar on the outskirts of Manhattan. Tebow's friend got her a drink; a few moments later she felt like the "world went crazy" and passed out in the bar's bathroom. The next morning she woke up naked in a hotel room just outside Manhattan, covered in bruises and scratches. Seven naked men slept on the floor around her. The men paid Tebow's friend to drug and bring her to the hotel. Her friend set her up for a night she would never forget. She turned into a victim of sex trafficking that night.

Filling the gap in children's scoliosis treatment HEALTH Lisa Friis, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, said there are no available spines from deceased children with scoliosis to be modeled off of. For every 1,000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment. BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com University researchers are working on a more accurate spinal model "The spine is a series of connected joints," Friis said. "If you do something to one level, it will affect all levels up and down. If we can create models and find how treatment influences functions on adjacent levels, we will be able to design implants better." A federal grant of more than $1 million was awarded to the engineering department to fund spinal replica research. Friis, who has worked as a research scientist in orthopedics since 2001, said the grant was well-founded. male's spine does not really represent a 12-year-old girl's, but this is what they are using to test spinal implants on," Frits said.

A simple change in the way you perceive life can have a lasting effect. This simple change can be achieved through meditation. Meditation can affect a person on three levels: physically, mentally and spiritually, says Dmitry Denisenko, a Lawrence-based primordial sound meditation instructor. Primordial sound meditation involves a mantra, a word or sound that is repeated to allow the person who is meditating to concentrate. A special pose or posture is not necessary in primordial sound meditation, only a comfortable position that will allow you to clear your mind. Contributed data ... Meditation, if practiced on a daily basis, can create inner peace and an inner sense of well being. Denisenko recommends meditating twice a day for 30 minutes, preferably at the beginning and end of the day. The effects will not be immediately recognized, but over time you will begin to feel less stressed and less emotionally attached to situations, Denisenko says. Ohmmmm: Meditation can create an inner peace and well-being. It's great to relieve the daily stresses of school or work. Meditation takes practice, Denisenko says. "People tend to quit after several weeks, but if you stick with it over time, it becomes a part of your routine for the rest of your life." Eventually meditation will quiet down the mind's constant activity, creating a clear focus for the person meditating. "I don't stress out anymore." Denisenko says. "I perceive things differently. It's amazing knowing that meditation will create life long positive benefits for those who practice it." JON HERMES Ashely Martin caught a classic way-outside-the-lines parking job near Corbin Hall. Looking at the picture she took on her cell phone, Martin, Wichita senior, chuckles. Her friends call her a parking queen. > In case of emergency, read quickly. ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // PARALLEL PARKING But in three easy steps, no one will be laughing at your perfectly parallel-parked car. Larry Krull, owner of Midwest Driving School, 1514 E. 24th St., gives these steps: 2) Reverse the car straight back until your tires are even with the end of the other car. Then, quickly turn your steering wheel to the right. Continue to back up at a 45 degree angle. 1) Pull even to the car in front of the spot you are aiming for, leaving about two to three feet on the side. 3) When the front of your car has cleared the back of the other car, quickly turn your wheel to the left. Then, slowly swing your car into the parallel parking spot. "The key to making all work is quick with the steering and slow with the car." Krull says. If the car isn't quite in the right position, Krull says to readjust by steering back to the right. The car should rest about 16 to 18 inches from the curb - farther away is illegal. Though there isn't a lot of parallel parking around town, Krull says he sees some bad attempts when people try to pull in front first. Martin, the parking queen, says driving a smaller car, practicing, and having friends guide you can help ensure a legal and accident-free parallel parking job on those tricky side streets. |BRENNA LONG| In between the lines. Parallel parking may seem tricky, but with a few easy steps you'll be able to squeeze into that spot on busy Tennessee Street. Unplanned Pregnancy? We can help.

She swoops her net amongst the dew-covered sunflowers and peeks to see if she caught a butterfly. Success! Before the Monarch Tagging event at the Baker University Wetlands, Jones, Maize sophomore, didn't think much about the pretty creatures. "Now if I see a butterfly, I think, oh, I wonder if it is tagged." A few hours at the tagging events helps researchers tag nearly 3,000 butterflies. The Monarch migration pattern trickles into the first weeks of October. With a $15 tagging kit and a few minutes of online instruction, students can easily become expert catchers. More than 200,000 tags are issued to people around the country, says ChipTaylor, Monarch Watch director.

AMANDA KISTNER IN THE LIFE OF // A WEDDING PLANNER > Living vicariously through others is okay with us. Catherine Hobson Contributed photo White wedding Carmen Hocking, owner of her own wedding planning business, specializes in no-stress weddings. She helped with her first wedding at 13 and was hooked. No-stress weddings are Carmen Hocking's specialty. With her wedding planning business, A Beautiful Wedding, 2814 Trail Rd., she has planned more than 1,000 weddings. "I had my chance, now I want to make theirs just how they dreamed," she says. Her office walls are laced with wedding bliss, from wedding gowns to pictures of happy couples. Before having a quaint office at home, Hocking helped with her first wedding at the age of 13. In 1969 for her sisters wedding, she helped pick the flowers and cake, and even stood next to her sister as maid of honor on the big day. From that point on, wedding bells rang for her future. Even after high school, friends would call her up for advice. This is where Hocking learned the art of understanding the bride. "When they would ask me for a color choice, I would turn it back on them. It's their wedding!" Understanding the bride and groom help Hocking cater to the couple's wishes. She pays close attention to detail, even to the point of wearing the wedding colors during appointments. Hocking says it gives a subtle sense that she really listens to everything they say. After the wedding, Hocking stays in touch with her clients with calls and cards. She wants to serve her clients in any way she can, and she enjoys the whole process from first phone call to wedding anniversaries. "I talk about weddings a lot," she says. I love them so much I can just go on and on and on." [ AMANDA KISTNER ] CONTINUE THE GAME @ JEFFERSON'S $5 BUD LT.

HEALTH + FOOD FOR THOUGHT HOW TASTY TREATS CAN ALTER YOUR MOOD [ JACQUE WEBER ] Shelbi Hines loves to eat Oreo ice cream. Whether she is sad because she misses her family or ecstatic because she aced the psychology exam she studied for all night, Hines grabs a bowl of Oreo ice cream and digs right in When Hines' boyfriend broke up with her last year unexpectedly, she turned to her favorite ice cream for comfort. "I almost ate the whole carton," says Hines, Bexley, Ohio, sophomore. "My stomach didn't feel too good afterward, but it definitely cheered me up." College students, like Hines, often turn to food for comfort because it is accessible and quick, says Susan Albers, a psychologist and author of Eating Mindfully. Albers describes comfort food as any food that induces a feeling of soothing and pleasure. It can also be something that you associate with past experiences. This feeling is both biological and psychological. "Certain foods stimulate feel good chemicals in the body such as serotonin, the same neurotransmitter that is impacted by Prozac," Albers says. Sugary foods, like Hines' Oreo ice cream, have this effect because they immediately spike your blood sugar and cause excitement and happiness. However, people can associate any kind of food with happiness, Albers says. This association happens early in life because we cognitively associate certain foods with feelings, Albers says. "If you fall down and your mom gives you a cookie, you will associate that cookie with a soothing feeling." Ben Martin associates his comfort food, which is homemade fried chicken and mashed potatoes, with happiness. "It reminds me of being back home and having family get-togethers," says Martin, Fort Worth, Texas, freshman. Martin says he loves to go home because his mom always makes fried chicken and mashed potatoes for him. When he can't be home, he drives over to Kentucky Fried Chicken for his comfort food fix. "I actually ate some last week because I was missing my family," Martin says. Although people often use comfort food as a tool for happiness, it can also be used as a reward or for celebration. Daniel Guebara likes to eat cheese dip when he celebrates. He makes it at home using Velveeta cheese, Rotel and hamburger meat. He usually eats cheese dip while watching basketball and football games on TV. "I always have it on Super Bowl Sunday," says Guebara, Deerfield, Kan., junior. "It's my favorite celebration food." Comfort food has many benefits, but it can also have downfalls. Roger Gould, associate clinical professor at UCLA and author of Shrink Yourself, says some people turn to comfort food to deny the problems in their life. They can even become addicted to a certain food. "It's like taking medicine to some people," Gould says. "It's very seductive because it's legal and it's advertised everywhere." Gould says college students often fall into this trap. "It's is a big transition in their lives and can cause some of them to gain up to 20 pounds from eating comfort food," Gould says. He also says the first year of college is the worst for students because it is the first time some of them are away from their families. Albers, author of Eating Mindfully, says if someone's only coping mechanism is to turn to food then it will negatively affect their weight and their health. "It's likely that you will continue to gain weight, which will turn your coping mechanism into the problem itself," Albers says. To avoid this problem, Albers advises people to monitor what types of foods they are using for comfort. If the food is unhealthy, like a piece of cheesecake, she suggests only using it to soothe yourself, instead of as a treat. If you're eating habits become a problem, Albers says to consult a professional psychiatrist. "A mental health professional can help you get to the bottom of why you are comforting yourself with food and help you find some healthy alternatives such as relaxation techniques, self massage and other distractions," Albers says.

Dalton Gomez/KANSAN HEALTH Filling the gap in children's scoliosis treatment For every 1,000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment. University researchers are working on a more accurate spinal model BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com Lisa Friis, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, said there are no available spines from deceased children with scoliosis to be modeled off of. "Unfortunately, a 75-year-old A federal grant of more than $1 million was awarded to the engineering department to fund spinal replica research. Friis, who has worked as a research scientist in orthopedics since 2001, said the grant was well-founded. "The spine is a series of connected joints," Friis said. "If you do something to one level, it will affect all levels up and down. If we can create models and find how treatment influences functions on adjacent levels, we will be able to design implants better." Lewis leads a group of graduate students and undergraduate students who help with the research. The group works closely with a pediatric surgeon from Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, "The spinal industry is about 15 to 25 years behind other areas of orthopedics," Friis said. "Some spinal surgery procedures still The lab has successfully created a model of an adult lumbar spine, which has enabled researchers to now begin creating a pediatric model spine. male's spine does not really represent a 12-year-old girl's, but this is what they are using to test spinal implants on," Friis said. Mo., and medical device companies, which offer their insight. Creating a pediatric spine replica with nothing to work off of and measure from creates many challenges. For example, the engineers know that children are more flexible and their tissues are less dense, and that they will grow. However, they do not know to what extent. "Babies are much more flexible, for example, and in some places have cartilage instead of bone," Lewis said. "Those kinds of properties just don't change overnight, so we are trying to find out how surgeries can work with that." don't have as high of success rates as other surgeries, so these are the types of things we are looking at now." "It's extremely difficult to create a model of a spine when we don't know the target values and also incorporate somehow the physiological changes that occur in kids," Lewis said. Erin Lewis, a graduate student in bioengineering from Fort Scott, said medical device companies rely on a scaled-down model of an adult spine, which can lead to error and confusion. 11 Scoliosis surgeries involve These kinds of surgeries include spinal implants and fusions, which are used to treat scoliosis.

BALANCING ACT JUGGLING THE DEMANDS OF A FULL-TIME JOB AND COURSE-LOAD It's a busy afternoon at Henrys. Art hangs along the walls, enhanced by soft, low lighting. Relaxing music plays overhead, and the baristas operate the coffee machines with confidence and charm. PHOTOS BY | BEN PIROTTE WORDS BY | AMANDA SORELL According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 45 percent of fulltime college students and 79 percent of part-time college students were employed in 2008. And the American Council on Education, using data from a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, shows that two-thirds of working students find employment in order to be able to pay for their tuition, fees, and living expenses. However, sometimes there's a greater cost, and it's one that a paycheck can't absolve; students with jobs have to figure out how to juggle work with school, and it's not always an easy feat. But the coffee shop's tranquil atmosphere belies the lives of its employees. For Josh Barker, Hamilton senior, work doesn't come to a close when Henry's hours do. After closing time, Barker empties the espresso machine, takes out the trash, sweeps, restocks, adds up the credit card receipts, brings all the chairs inside, cleans the restrooms, and prepares for the next day. Only then is he'able to go home, relax, and focus on other things — like schoolwork and his relationship. Barker also works as a bouncer at Wilde's Chateau and is a creative writing major enrolled in 15 credit hours. He says that balancing two jobs with school is difficult, but necessary because of his living expenses and tuition costs. And he's just one of many students across the country working their way through college. Last spring, Barker picked up a job to pay for rent. But once his work hours started to affect his academic performance, he dropped some of his classes and lost his scholarship, causing him to have to work another job to pay for tuition. This cycle was difficult for him to overcome, and he says that it took time for him to figure out how to be a student and work at the same time. He realized he had to find a routine, one that adhered to his schoolwork, his jobs, and his personal life. He honed his time management skills and created a daily schedule so that he could stay on top of school and work. On a weekday that goes according to plan, Barker will fill the daylight hours with going to class, working out, and doing some homework before he clocks in. And Henry's, he says, is a good environment, where he's able to develop beneficial relationships with his fellow employees, the customers, and management. "They respect their workers and that goes a KNOW YOURSELF. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO HANDLE. DAVID GASTON DIRECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY CAREER CENTER long way. And it's cool, you can actually feel a relationship with the place that you're working rather than just going in," Barker says. Ann Hartley, an associate director at the University Career Center, says those relationships are part of what makes working as a student so important. "Regardless of what career you go into, you're establishing a track record for yourself. If you're a good solid worker and you really develop good relationships with the people you work with, you're going to have a great reference for you when you graduate," Hartley says. The difficulty of working and studying at the same time arises when the two begin to interfere with one another, as they did in Barker's life. Hartley says that students need to plan carefully so that they can make money but still try to graduate in four years to avoid raised tuition. For some students it's just not possible to do both. But careful planning and knowing what you're capable of is important for any student. Hartley says a student working 10-20 hours while taking a full course load will probably manage to stay on top of both school and work. If students are working more than that, they could start to get burned out. Working through college has become increasingly important for students faced with the price of tuition and other school costs. Tuition for the 2010-2011 school year for a 15-hour course load rose to $3937.50, or $262.50 per credit hour, for residents, and $10,340.25, or $689.35 per credit hour, for non-residents. And according to KU's tuition compact overview, tuition has increased an average of 9 percent every year for the past 30 years. The tuition compact, which began the fall semester of 2007, allows students to pay a fixed rate for four years. After that, the compact expires, requiring students to pay a higher tuition price if they plan on being here longer than four years. For some, the extra load can be too much to handle, and graduating in four years seems an impossibility. Casey Bear, Baldwin sophomore, tried to take classes and work during her freshman year to pay for rent. Bear pays $360 for rent and $100 for bills each month, so in order to make that money she worked 20-30 hours a week at the Melange Apron in Baldwin. She says she quickly became too tired to keep up with her studies and decided to take a semester off, save money for living expenses and then go back to school. So she stopped taking classes and started to work more at the Pulse in the Kansas Union, which she says changed her attitude about how work and school can fit together. Bear won't graduate in four years, but she has a renewed sense of what she needs to do in order to be a good employee as well as a good student.

"Working is an important part of being a student or going into that adult stage that college pushes you into." Some students find a job simply for that reason; it pushes them into the work force and offers them insight and experience. Alix Santa Maria, Overland Park senior, doesn't have to pay her rent or bills during the school year. But she says working 25 hours a week at Commerce Bank teaches her to structure her schedule and prioritize, even when the job hinders her free time and keeps her from participating in social events like football games. She says being employed is worth the time commitment and helps her save money for after graduation. Of course, finding a job can be difficult, particularly with the economic downturn. David Gaston, director of the University Career Center, says that the recession causes more people to need jobs at a time when there are fewer jobs to fill, and on-campus part-time jobs are no exception. Gaston says that even students who find a job on-campus might discover that they're working fewer hours. The Job Location and Development program was one of the steps the UCC took to overcome the downturn and ensure that students could still find employment by helping them find jobs off-campus, Gaston says. He believes that students who are able to work in college will benefit from being able to consider their future. Earning income, taking classes and applying the skills they learn in school to their jobs can be an important step toward whatever those students do after college. "I think you can do both, but you have to be smart. Know yourself, know what you're able to handle, and then try to put yourself in that position if possible," Gaston says. Steven Hawley, professor of physics and astronomy, agrees that it's important to know how much work is too much, and to ask for help when it's needed. He says he's lenient with his students because he understands that it's difficult to work while at school, and advises students to realize that discipline is key to time management. Barker, Hamilton senior, smiles goodnaturedly about his busy schedule, and feels confident with what he can handle. Finding time for work, school, and a personal life will always be a challenge. But whether he's laughing with a customer on a quieter day or laboring through a busy, demanding work shift, Barker knows it will all be worth it in the end. "I haven't made my folks take out a loan for college, and that's something when I get my diploma that I can think about," Barker says. "That I got through it and I paid for this myself."

Dalton Gomez/KANSAN ut en am HEALTH Filling the gap in children's scoliosis treatment Lisa Friis, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, said there are no available spines from deceased children with scoliosis to be modeled off of. For every 1,000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment. University researchers are working on a more accurate spinal model BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com Lewis leads a group of graduate students and undergraduate students who help with the research. The group works closely with a pediatric surgeon from Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and medical device companies, which offer their insight. Creating a pediatric spine replica with nothing to work off of and measure from creates many challenges. For example, the engineers know that children are more flexible and their tissues are less dense, and that they will grow. However, they do not know to what extent. A federal grant of more than $1 million was awarded to the engineering department to fund spinal replica research. Friis, who has worked as a research scientist in orthopedics since 2001, said the grant was well-founded. "The spinal industry is about 15 to 25 years behind other areas of orthopedics," Friis said. "Some spinal surgery procedures still The lab has successfully created a model of an adult lumbar spine, which has enabled researchers to now begin creating a pediatric model spine. don't have as high of success rates as other surgeries, so these are the types of things we are looking at now." "It's extremely difficult to create a model of a spine when we don't know the target values and also incorporate somehow the physiological changes that occur in kids," Lewis said. "The spine is a series of connected joints." Friis said. "If you do something to one level, it will affect all levels up and down. If we can create models and find how treatment influences functions on adjacent levels, we will be able to design implants better." male's spine does not really represent a 12-year-old girl's, but this is what they are using to test spinal implants on," Friis said. These kinds of surgeries include spinal implants and fusions, which are used to treat scoliosis. "Babies are much more flexible, for example, and in some places have cartilage instead of bone," Lewis said. "Those kinds of properties just don't change overnight, so we are trying to find out how surgeries can work with that."

Matt & Kim are a dance punk duo from Brooklyn, New York comprised of Matt Johnson on vocals and keyboards and Kim Schifino on vocals and drums. Their mix of booming beats and lively melodies has garnered them a national following as well as spots on shows Entourage and Community and the video game Sims 3. Matt spoke with Jayplay about the band's upcoming album Sidewalks, failed work-out plans and their history with Kansas tornados. Matt & Kim play at 7 p.m. tonight at the Granada. Jayplay: Where was Sidewalks recorded and what role does location play in your music? Matt Johnson: We recorded Sidewalks in Atlanta, but then we finished a lot of it back in Brooklyn. We wrote most of the songs when we were in New York. But whether you're in a recording studio in Brooklyn or Atlanta, you're in a windowless room for months at a time. I think we bleed through in our music and our environment. JP "Daylight" achieved some pretty huge success, being picked up for everything from liquor commercials to video games. Do your feelings toward the songchange when it becomes popular? MJ: I think that song was a difficult song to write, but we knew there was something there. We worked on it for seven months. But it's more important to me now. MATT AND KIM JP Do you ever get tired of playing live? JP: How do you keep the show's energy up when you're sitting at a keyboard and Kim's stationed at the drums? MJ: I've been sick of seeing the typical band that's looking bored on stage. If you're bored on stage I'm fucking bored watching you. Bands that are real engaging are real. Wherever your music's coming from, let it be seen. Not the face you put on when you were standing in front of your full-length mirror with your guitar earlier today. We're just excited to go out and play until my back goes out or something. MJ: To a small extent we get a little worn out. Some older songs, a song like 'Yeah Yeah' I still like playing at shows because people are into it. But as far as practicing it's like 'Ugh, we've played it like 5 bazilion times.' But I think about the Rolling Stones and how much they've played some of their songs. JP: Did that happen once? DID that happen once? MJ: I had a back injury a year ago and it was a pain in the ass. "I'm too young to be feeling this old," to quote Drake. JP Have you been jamming the new Drake lately? It's pretty good. JP What's the most awkward show you've played? MJ: I liked the singles, but I got the album and it felt like it was sort of rushed. I like the up tempo stuff. MJ. Sometimes we'll do certain events like when a certain company might be having a party. It's not your fans there, but it seems like if we're having fun other people are having fun. Sometimes it's sterile but we generally joke on stage and be human. If a band tries to ignore that this is very awkward and plays to the fictional stadium audience in their head, it gets even more awkward. MJ: Sometimes I go with a goal like exercising and it totally fails by day three. I'm like 'yeah, I'm going to be using these weights every day' and that totally doesn't happen. Even getting more than one or JP Are there any new inspirations you discovered over the course of writing Sidewalks? two meals in a day seems like a challenge. I think just trying get sleep and food, the things one needs to live, is the goal. MJ: Kim and I are huge hip hop fans and took a lot of inspiration from stuff we like that have stong beats and hooks and we go from there. We're in the position where we can make whatever type of music we want to hear. We'll put together fat beats you can stage dive to. JP. What routines do you try to maintain on the road? It takes two: Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino formed their dance punk duo in 2004 while attending school in Brooklyn, New York. They are currently on tour with a stop at the Granada tonight, and are releasing their next album, Sidewalks, Nov. 2. MJ. 2006 I'm guessing. Maybe 2005. We were driving to go to Lawrence and the sky starts getting super dark. Then comes the crazy rain, and the hail comes and cars are pulling under bridges. We go inside this gas station and the news is saying that there's a half-mile tornado. We were not only in a gas station but a gas station slash fireworks stand, and we're like 'There's no way we're staying in this tin shack filled with gasoline and fireworks.' So we start driving and hit the pedal to the metal. We out-ran the tornado. But then when we got to Lawrence the power was out and the show got cancelled anyway. JP When were you last in Lawrence?

Celebrities have answers. Martin Sexton is a musician whose been recording his blend of soul and rock music since 1996. His latest album, *Sugarcoating* came out April 6. Sexton is currently on tour in support of the album, and will be performing at 8 p.m. tonight at The Bottleneck. Javolay: How did you become a recording artist? In the 1990s I was busking. I was a kid fresh from off the Amtrak to Boston. I got a job at a café, but I ended up getting canned. I saw an artist in the square busking and making some money. I thought "that's pretty cool, I want to do that!" Necessity became the mother of invention. I needed rent, so I got myself an amp and a Stratocaster. I ended up making more money busking than I had at my job. After a while, I started recording, and things just grew from there. JP What kind of music made you decide you wanted to be a musician? MS I think it might have happened as a kid. I was listening to my brother's records in the attic, and I found "Frampton Comes Alive!" I heard hisICKs.I heard the crowd, and he just wailed! That's when the spark was lit. I actually got the chance to play with Frampton once. I know he must hear stories like that all the time, but I still had to tell him just how important his music was to me. JP What it's like to work with people, like Peter Formanen, whose work draws on MS: Initially I get nervous, but eventually you just reach this level of mutual respect with the artist you're working with. I just view it like a dream come true. I have this childlike sense of wonder, this sense of "holy shit" when I get to do things like that. I'm kind of pinching myself. You do all of your own backing vocals on your album. What led to making that decision? I guess because I can, I remember when we were recording The American, we hired some backup singers. They did just what I thought they'd do, and they were good. But on playback, the music didn't feel done. I went in, and put down some vocals in my "soul sisters" voice, and that just had more personality. It was different. I started doing that, again out of necessity. If I go in and sing four parts on a song, it just sounds deeper and more rich. The song "Livin' The Life," from your new album is all about evaluating your life and realizing the kind of life you really want to live. Is that story based off of anything that happened to you? I was on top of the Tetons and a park ranger came up to me. He was like, "Hey, man, you're Martin Sexton!" It turned out he was a big fan. A few years ago, he took a road trip across the U.S. listening to my records the whole way. He said that, along with some other experiences he had on the trip, inspired him to quit his job as an executive on Wall Street, and go into forestry, which he'd always wanted to do. He told me that he was making less money now, but he knew he was on the right path. That was just mind-blowing! To know that my music could make that kind of impact, that's another dream come true. That's the story of "Livin' the Life." ABBY OLCESE Contributed Photo From the streets to the stage: Martin Sexton's dreams of becoming a musician started as kid listening to Peter Frampton. He sold 20,000 copies of a self-recorded cd by playing on the streets. Catch him live at The Bottleneck tonight. out to be controlling.

For every 1.000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment.

"Those kinds of properties just don't change overnight, so we are trying to find out how surgeries can work with that."

In 1999, Tucker managed Gumby's until he flew to Florida to run a full service Italian restaurant called Broadway Ristorante Pizzeria.

Corey Smith's music isn't found on local radio stations, yet he's sold 150,000 albums and 700,000 singles. The progressive country singer may not be mainstream, but his fans sure want a piece of him. Smith, who is half-blind after getting hit by a rock as a kid, never dreamed he'd have such a forward fan base. In fact, he never dreamed he'd have a fan base at all. BASS Starting out as a social studies teacher in his home state of Georgia, he won a local music contest at Cheetah Marie's Café and landed eight golden hours in the studio. It was just enough time for him to record his first album and turn his art into a job. The 33-year-old guitar strummin' father of two doesn't like to gamble. Five or so years ago, he took a very calculated step into the spotlight. From North to South Country singers Simone Smith started as a social studies teacher in Georgia, but winning a local music contest gave him a chance to record his first album. "Choosing to teach was actually costing money because I had to turn down so many shows," Smith says. At the time he didn't have a manager or agent.

PLAY SWITCHING GEARS - EXPLORE LAWRENCE'S BIKE TRAILS EXPLOR KATE LARRABEE Trek the trails: Many bike paths in Lawrence offer courses for riders of all experience levels. Try Clinton Skills Loop for a challenging ride, or take it easy on The Lawrence River Trails. People may think Kansas is flat, but after riding on one of Lawrence's biking trails they might change their minds. Lawrence has four trails varying in difficulty that offer beginning and advanced riders the opportunity to go into nature and challenge themselves. THE LAWRENCE RIVER TRAILS This nine-mile loop is located in North Lawrence and is used by bikers and runners who have separate paths. Matt Pashang, Olathe senior, has been mountain biking for eight years and has been biking in Lawrence for the past five years. Pashang says he likes the River Trails because they are nice and fast and anybody can do them. He says they are the best trails for beginning riders. ArtKing, a member of the Lawrence Mountain Biking Club, says the best way for beginning riders to start is to go have fun with a group of friends. "It encourages you to keep riding if you have people to ride with," King says. King started riding five years ago on the River Trail, which he also says is great for beginners because it's not too technical. The entrance to the trails is located right off 8th and Oak Streets. CLINTON LAKE STATE PARK CLINTON SKILLS LOOP Located west of the Lawrence city limits, these trails are located in an Army Corps Engineers park. Though there is an entry fee to access a lot of areas in the park, the entrance to the trails is not located in a part that requires the fee. It breaks off into two trails with the blue trail being easier and the white trail being more difficult. Pashang says a great thing about these trails is the beautiful view of the lake. He says the trail is mainly in the woods but comes out of the trees every so often to give riders a great view of the water. This trail is a real challenge for experienced riders. Pashang says this trail offers experienced bikers a more challenging ride with technical aspects. There are obstacles for all levels — including teeter-totters, balancing boards, ramps and bridges — but it is advised that riders do this course at their own discretion and, as always, should wear a helmet. Unlike the state park trails, riders who drive to the skills loop must pay the entry fee to get into the park. Those who wish to avoid the fee can bike in for free. PERRY LAKE TRAILS Although bikers who wish to ride this 20-mile network of trails must drive 45 minutes, it seems to be well worth the journey. Nick Hoelscher, a KU graduate, has been biking in Lawrence for four years and says that the Perry Lake trails are his favorite because it's a network of trails. Riders have the ability to make their ride whatever they want it to be — fast and easy, slow and technical, or a combination of the two. King, LMBC member, says the Perry Lake trails are his favorite because he likes to create his own ride. The single-track trails were built in 1996 and the entrance is located on the west side of the lake. Kansas might be known for being flat, but Lawrence offers some biking trails that challenge even the most experiencedriders. - Accidents happen. Nick Hoelscher, a KU graduate who has been riding in Lawrence for four years, suggests that riders should bring a first aid kit with them and always wear a helmet. He also suggests that beginning riders should ride with a friend because it's more fun, and in case of an accident someone is there to help out. "We don't have mountains in Kansas," Hoelscher says. "But you can still go out and have an adventure." BIKING 101 - Neverridewhenit'smuddy. Hoelscher says it tears up the trails and is bad biking etiquette. Never ride after a rainstorm. - Bring the right equipment. Hoelscher says the terrain in Lawrence can be rough on bikes and flat tires can happen easily. Matt Pashang, who has been riding for eight years, saysiders should bring tire levers, a new tube or patches and a pump. - Alwaysweara helmet. It'salreadybeensaid,butit can't be said enough.

Songs like "Shaking Hands" and "Black Rice" stood out, but long droners like "Woodbine" seemed to serve only as noisy interludes and tended to last past their welcome. Public Strain is a mature and fleshed-out version of Women, but it's overall more reserved, and not without its own repetitive soundscapes. It kicks off with "Can't You See," which serves as a long introduction to "Heat Distraction," which revolves around a central, ingenious guitar hook. It sounds like the band is miles away from any microphones, so drenched in reverb that it could be underwater. The song is vastly varied, with a quickly changing series of chord progressions. It finally works its way back to the original idea, a jilted and jangly monster of a riff. "Narrow with the Hall" is mediocre but the bass eventually saves it. "Penal Colony" is a piano ballad of sorts, with a melancholy guitar and deadpan beat that never takes off. "Bells" is essentially a blissed-out interlude that bleeds into "China Steps," the album's grittiest and strongest moment. Sinister guitars clash on top of a simple hi-hat and snare beat for the first couple minutes, but then back off. Unfortunately the edginess never really resurfaces, but there are other great numbers on the record. ☆☆☆ ☆ ★ ★ ★ ALEX TRETBAR RESTAURANT REVIEW // 715 > The taste of the town, one meal at a time. Of all the restaurants in Lawrence, perhaps none quite combines taste, style, and price as well as 715. With a great atmosphere to boot, the eating experience is difficult to surpass. Named for its location on Massachusetts Street, the Italian eatery prides itself on fresh, local ingredients and the abilities of its chef, Michael Beard. The menu consists of both simple and elaborate, including mundane items like spaghetti and meatballs (which I ordered), but also items like sea bass and pizza with tuna and egg. 100% Despite its commonplace status, the spaghetti and meatballs turned out to have surprising character. 715's handmade version was surprisingly light and flavorful, with spicy meatballs and a more neutral sauce that let the noodles and the meatballs do the talking. A three-course dinner runs about $25 per person. Try going for a reasonably-priced lunch. Either way, it provides a great date spot, with an atmosphere boisterous enough to keep any awkwardness away, and classy enough to THOMAS C. HARDY MOVIE REVIEW //THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE FIRE FIRE WITH FIRE JEAN PATRONNE'S the GIRL who PLAYED with FIRE BY JESSICA LLOYDNER > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. The Girl Who Played With Fire, sequel to the sleeper hit, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, makes for an effective thriller, but it lacks the unashed ferocity of its predecessor. While Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) is hiding away in the Caribbean, Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyquist) takes a young reporter with a major sex trafficking story under his wing. After Mikael's prodigy and Lisbeth's former, despicable legal guardian are found murdered, all the evidence points to Lisbeth as the killer. Mikael immediately tries to find Lisbeth to clear her name, who is out to do the same on her own. In doing so, they both find themselves knee-deep in corrupt politics, sex crimes, and, most surprisingly, Lisbeth's enigmatic past. fire offers a complex, well-orchestrated mystery that involves violence, sex and politics. However, the easier-to-sit-through approach also softens the visceral intensity that drove Dragon Tattoo, and people may find themselves less engrossed with this sequel. What Fire suffers from most is the separation of its two leads. Rapace and Nyquist both deliver fantastic performances, but Dragon Tattoo revealed that both characters functioned best as a team.Not only did they serve as foils to one another, but their chemistry provided a much-needed humanity to the first film, and could have done the same for this one. Although it's a great thriller, The Girl Who Played With Fire is more standard in its execution, which may not have been so noticeable if it did not have to compete against itself. B.S. HADLAND RESTAURANT REVIEW // WA > The taste of the town, one meal at a time. With a change of restaurant plans and a group of fifteen people, Wa, 740 Massachusetts, could not be friendlier in accommodating a large group in a relatively small space. Specializing in sushi and sashimi, Wa has a decorative and intimate feel, where you can watch the chefs roll fresh sushi at the sushi bar or watch the game on one of their flat screen TVs. I shared some edamame with a friend and then ordered the Pineapple Upside Down Cake to drink. Infused with vanilla vodka, pineapple juice, and grenadine, the drink was a little too sweet, yet had a tropical tang. I ordered the Love Roll for my main entrée, the closest item to a California roll. The roll was a bit bland, however the menu offered a variety of cultural-inspired rolls, like the Tres Amigos and Filet Mignon roll. Our waiter was attentive and the staff kept our large group content. Most of the sushi offered could not be distinguished from any other, but the friendly service and ornate setting satisfied. 22 09 23 10 BRITTANY NELSON | --- ASHLEY BENSON EMILY BERNARD MAGGIE BIBERSTEIN RACHEL BOUVE AMANDA CARACCI JULIA CHASEN CROSBY COOPER HILLARY CRABB SHARON DISIDORE KALI DODSON LAUREN DRUMMOND LESA EDEN LAUREN EDWARDS SHAY GALLAGHER MEREDITH GERSHON BECCA GORDON AMY GUO SAM HENDRICKS COLLEEN IRELAND ABBEY JOHNSON LAURA KONECNY LAUREN LOTTINO KELLYN MARQUART ERIN McFARLAND KRISTA MITCHELL CATIE MORDAN ZOEY MORTON JULIA NEHRING NICOLE NUNES KATLYN O'CONNOR SEEMA PATEL SYDNEY RAYL JULIE SCHILLER RACHEL SCHMIDT ANNE SCHWARTZ SHELBY SEITTER ERIN SOSTARICH EMILY WAGNER JERRICA WASHBURN ALLEY WILLIAMS AMANDA WINGERT SARAH WITT Mary Louise Ridgway, Michael Moynihan and Kate Moran TINA RIVERA PANDA Welcome home! business abroad The Institute for International Business at the School of Business helped find the right program for me.

SPEAK 1 THE UPSIDE TO BEING DOWN REDISCOVERING HAPPINESS AND LEARNING TO LOVE LIFE Contributed photo Two years later, all these self-righteous feelings finally started crumbling down on me. After one painful break-up and one unsuccessful semester, I was feeling pretty sad. I figured this was normal, and took the steps to improve things. I cut off toxic communication with the ex, started exercising and hung out more with friends. But a year later, despite having a good boyfriend and a full-ride, I was still sad, maybe even more so than I was before. My stoicism was slipping. Feelings of hopelessness and frustration came with growing frequency, and so did the dreaded tears. I lost confidence, I lost weight and I was losing my relationship. The breaking point came I was never that close to my family growing up, not even Mom. She was emotional. Like cliche clockwork, she cried at the end of every Touched by an Angel episode and the occasional Hallmark commercial. She had the tendency to unknowingly wear her weariness on her face — at least I knew to mask mine — and I beatered her for it. She worried excessively about me. I mean, obviously I was perfectly capable of handling my own life at the age of 17. I preferred Dad's stoicism, and I tried to model myself after him. I vowed to never be weak like her. Love/hate: After battling depression in college, writer Sarah Gregory discovered that her mother also suffered from the disease. Sarah's relationship with her mother has strengthened as she has experienced similar emotions and experiences. One week and a round of pills later, it was time to tell the parents. This was the part I dreaded most. After all those years of being, as I saw it, the tough one of the group, I had to turn around and tell them that I wasn't even strong enough to keep my own head together. I finally mustered the courage and sent an email. A few hours later, I was greeted with this response: "Welcome to the club; I've been on Prozac since you were 15. Love, Mom." Immediately, my mind snapped back through all those years, all those judgments I had made of her behavior. I did the natural child-like thing one sunny Sunday afternoon last November when, despite my boyfriend's insistence to the contrary and my own common sense, I collapsed sobbing at his feet, convinced I was utterly ugly and unlovable. Faced with an ultimatum (either I got help or he got going), I finally swallowed my pride and went to a doctor at Watkins Student Health Center. After a half-hour of physical examinations and prodding questions ("How often do you experience these negative emotions?" "Always," "Have you ever thought about killing yourself?" "... Never"), I had an official diagnosis: depression. and blamed myself, thinking that if only I had been a little more empathetic and a little less ruthless, then maybe she would never have been sad either. Finally, I picked up communication with my sister, younger than me by four years, whom I never previously had a relationship with, mostly due to stubbornness. I gave her advice on hairstyling (we share the same unruly curls), on boys (we don't coincide on that one), and on scholarship interviewing. In return, she told me My relationships with my dad and sister evolved as well. I became more sympathetic toward my father, who had had to deal with the same things as my boyfriend - not just for months, but years. I realized that the stoicism I so admired was a coping device in itself, and that even the other 'tough guy' of the group could use some comfort now and again. Once the guilt passed, I used our newfound similarity as a stepping stone to finally building a relationship. We started sharing stories about our lives, instead of shielding each other from them. We talked of sex and recipes and God. Mom kept on worrying about me, and I learned to appreciate it. how to subsist off of more than Hot Pockets and Cheez-its. No matter how seemingly trivial the conversation, it was most important to me that I did what I could to make sure she never felt unwanted or unsuccessful, as I had so many times before. In the year since my diagnosis, I have begun to rediscover how to love life, and how to love family. Healing my mind and body is taking time, as all things worth fixing do. I am still on my prescription indefinitely, and I could stand to gain a few pounds (I'm sure I'll be kicking myself for saying that in twenty years). As I finish this (in front of the television, as all good writers do), that damned Sarah McLachlan commercial comes on, the one where she serenades mutilated puppies and kittens to the tune of "Angel." There's that one-eyed dog, and here comes that first itching of tears. It's okay to have them, though. I know something now I didn't as a teenager. I realize that it is okay to be sad, but it is better to be happy, and that the key to achieving happiness lies in those around me — like my family, the ones who have been there all along. Jp changed ner lite. Kristen Tebow, a woman from Manhattan, just wanted to make friends her freshman year at Kansas State University. On a typical weekend night, she made plans with a new friend from marching band. She and her newly found friend visited a typical bar on the outskirts of Manhattan. Tebow's friend got her a drink; a few moments later she felt like the "world went crazy" and passed out in the bar's bathroom. The next morning she woke up naked in a hotel room just outside Manhattan, covered in bruises and scratches. Seven naked men slept on the floor around her. The men paid Tebow's friend to drug and bring her to the hotel. Her friend set her up for a night she would never forget. She turned into a victim of sex trafficking that night.

HEALTH Filling the gap in children's scoliosis treatment University researchers are working on a more accurate spinal model BY MEG LOWRY mlowry@kansan.com For every 1,000 children in the United States, three to five will develop scoliosis severe enough to require surgery. However, there are zero model pediatric spines to guide the course of treatment. Lisa Friis, assistant professor in mechanical engineering, said there are no available spines from deceased children with scoliosis to be modeled off of. "Unfortunately, a 75-year-old A federal grant of more than $1 million was awarded to the engineering department to fund spinal replica research. Friis, who has worked as a research scientist in orthopedics since 2001, said the grant was well-founded. male's spine does not really represent a 12-year-old girl's, but this is what they are using to test spinal implants on," Friis said. don't have as high of success rates as other surgeries, so these are the types of things we are looking at now" "The spinal industry is about 15 to 25 years behind other areas of orthopedics," Friis said. "Some spinal surgery procedures still "The spine is a series of connected joints," Friis said. "If you do something to one level, it will affect all levels up and down. If we can create models and find how treatment influences functions on adjacent levels, we will be able to design implants better." The lab has successfully created a model of an adult lumbar spine, which has enabled researchers to now begin creating a pediatric model spine. These kinds of surgeries include spinal implants and fusions, which are used to treat scoliosis. Erin Lewis, a graduate student in bioengineering from Fort Scott, said medical device companies rely on a scaled-down model of an adult spine, which can lead to error and confusion. "Babies are much more flexible, for example, and in some places have cartilage instead of bone," Lewis said. "Those kinds of properties just don't change overnight, so we are trying to find out how surgeries can work with that." Lewis leads a group of graduate students and undergraduate students who help with the research. The group works closely with a pediatric surgeon from Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and medical device companies, which offer their insight. Creating a pediatric spine replica with nothing to work off of and measure from creates many challenges. For example, the engineers know that children are more flexible and their tissues are less dense, and that they will grow. However, they do not know to what extent. "It's extremely difficult to create a model of a spine when we don't know the target values and also incorporate somehow the physiological changes that occur in kids," Lewis said.

ODD NEWS Woman fights off bear with zucchini The woman suffered minor scratches and one of her dogs was wounded after tussling with the 200-pound bear. HELENA, Mont. — A Montana woman fended off a bear trying to muscle its way into her home Thursday by pelting the animal with a large piece of zucchini from her garden. The attack happened just after midnight when the woman let her three dogs into the backyard for their nighttime ritual before she headed to bed, Missola County Sheriff's Lt. Rich Maricelli said. Authorities believe the black bear was just 25 yards away, eating apples from a tree. Two of the dogs sensed the bear, began barking and ran away. Maricellli said. The third dog, a 12-year-old collie that wasn't very mobile, remained close to the woman as she stood in the doorway of the home near Frenchtown in western Montana. Before she knew what was happening, the bear was on top of the dog and batting the colli back and forth, Maricelli said. "She kicked the bear with her left leg as hard as she could, and she said she felt like she caught it pretty solidly under the chin" Maricelli said. But as she kicked, the bruin swiped at her leg with its paw and ripped her jeans. The bear then turned its full attention to the woman in the doorway. She retreated into the house and tried to close the door, but the bear stuck its head and part of a shoulder through the doorway. The woman held onto the door with her right hand. With her left, she reached behind and grabbed a zucchini that she had picked from her garden earlier and was sitting on the kitchen counter, Maricelli said. She threw the vegetable. It bopped the braun on the top of its head and the animal fled, Maricelli said. CAMPUS Arts center holds dance fundraiser Those two words, spoken by Chuck Berg before his flute performance of "Over the Rainbow," encapsulated the night. "For Janet." Berg was one of 15 musicians and dancers who appeared Thursday night in "Mad for Dance," a fundraiser hosted by the department of dance at the Lawrence Art Center. The Associated Press Hamburg event was dedicated to Janet Hamburg, a former dance professor who died on Sept. 4 in New York City. Hamburg The fundraiser raised more than $4,000 in scholarship money for the department. Students, colleagues and friends of Hamburg, 189 people in total, attended the event. "Her legacy lives on in all of us who were touched by her," said Berg, a film and media studies professor who knew Hamburg for more than 30 years." "It may be a cliche, but I can't help but think she was up there looking down." "It's amazing how many people came out for tonight's performance," said Michelle Heffner Hayes, chairwoman for the department of dance. "I think tonight is the first moment of joy for a lot of us because we haven't had a chance to gather as a group." Hayes said Hamburg had been a "passionate fund raiser for scholarships" during her 30 years at the University of Kansas. "We've all been devastated since she passed away," Hayes said. "The fact that we're gathering for her favorite cause in the whole world, I think, is pretty significant." Had Hamburg been there, said Kara Vaglio, her former student assistant, she'd be smiling.

Club hosts CPR training class BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com Pre-med Engineers was started last spring by engineering students who wanted more hands-on experience in the medical field. Jack Xu, president of the club and a junior from Fayetteville, Ark., said he thought it was important to have that experience. The Pre-med Engineers want to be prepared in an emergency situation — which is why they are offering a free CPR certification class from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday in the Spahr Engineering Classroom in Eaton Hall. Chemical engineering major Sean Parsel, a senior from Overland Park, is a basic life support instructor for the American Heart Association and will be teaching the CPR class. "It's something worthwhile and can potentially save a life," he said. Parsel became certified for his job at the University of Kansas Medical Center as an electrocardiogram technician. He said he saw the benefits of teaching proper technique after responding to multiple codes at the hospital and witnessing improper technique FREE CPR CLASS WHEN: Sunday, 4 to 7 p.m. WHERE: Spahr Engineering Classroom in Eaton Hall on compressions. "It could be easy to forget one's skills in an actual situation where someone's life is in jeopardy," he said. Parsel has the credentials to certify all students who attend. He has taught about 10 classes so far, and said it is a skill that can come in handy at a moment's notice. "Maybe you'll pull up on an accident on a freeway, or maybe someone will collapse in class or at work," he said. Currently, 12 students are signed up to take the class. Jake Hopkins, a senior from Albuquerque, N.M., is planning to attend. He said this will be a good resume builder and an opportunity to prepare himself for any situation. "My worst fear is actually having to use it," he said. Edited by Lisa Curran AWARENESS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) domestic violence and human trafficking spoke out against the violence at Take Back the Night on Massachusetts St. last night. Audra Fullerton, director of community engagement at The Willow Domestic Violence Center, said this event occurred all over the nation to promote awareness of violence against women. She said the idea that a woman cannot go out at night "in a developed country is just ridiculous, so we are going to take back the night." "We live in a very violent culture," Fullerton said. "We think of America as a very safe place, but it's not." The leading cause of injury of a college-aged woman, 18 to 24, is from a violent partner, she said. But, that doesn't mean every person will report the violence. Only a handful of people report cases of domestic violence. Fullerton said domestic violence happens between two people in an intimate relationship. In more than 85 percent of domestic violence cases, the woman is battered by the man. She said domestic violence is a combination of "tactics of battering that have to do with power and control." "It's happening at staggering rates." Fullerton said. Meredith Pavicic, a coordinator of Take Back the Night and a junior from Leawood, said one in four college students will be sexually assaulted. Just like domestic violence. "It's easy for people to ignore," Pavicie said. In Tebow's case, she said "the police laughed" at her because she didn't have any defensive wounds or evidence. She said she was unconscious during the incident and was unable to defend herself. The only way they would believe her was if they spoke with the friend who drugged her. Tebow was stuck. She said she waited too long to go to the hospital to be evaluated for sexual assault. But Chris Keary, assistant chief of police at the KU Public Safety Office, said a problem is that sexual assault is a generic term, not a legal term. "It's sort of ripe for abusive relationships come out of that," Fullerton said. Fullerton said younger women are more likely to be victims of violence because they date often, which causes them to be exposed to many types of people. Batterers are attracted to someone they can easily control. "Sexual assault is a catchall phrase used by people who don't really know what to call it." rapid attachment, mood swings and emotional abuse. Both women and men car "Sexual assault is a catch-all phrase used by people who don't really know what to call it," Keary said. Sexual assault can range from rape to a person giving an inappropriate look to another, which makes it difficult to define legally. However, he said that domestic violence has a more straight-forward definition. According violence, many students won't report sexual assault. It's something that people don't want to think about, but it affects everyone. "We live in a very violent culture. We think of America as a very safe place, but it's not." She said the definition of sexual assault tends to be fuzzy, especially when it comes to the law. Because of this, many students won't report domestic or sexual CHRIS KEARY KU assistant chief of police to the Kansas Legislature, domestic violence is when someone intentionally causes harm to a family or household member against the family member's will. But, Fullerton said that physical abuse is not the most common form of abuse. Abuse doesn't usually start out with physical violence; it usually starts with economic, emotional and spiritual abuse. The early signs of a controlling relationship include AUDRA FULLERTON Director at The Willow and men can prevent these incidents from happening. It's important to recognize the signs of an unhealthy relationship, understand what it means to be in a healthy rela tionship, recognize what early power control looks like and learn how to be supportive of people who are in this situation. Students can get help. The Willow Domestic Violence Center focuses on shelter, help and hope. The Willow offers a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter, advocacy services, court advocates and support groups. The victims of domestic violence will never be held accountable for their batterer's behavior, Fullerton said. "We're here for you, we're here to support you and we're doing things to stop this from happening to other people." October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. To further promote awareness, The Willow Domestic Violence Center will host a "Rally at Wescoe" on Oct. 1.

SPINE (CONTINUED FROM 1A) fusing the curve, which requires a surgeon to join two or more vertebrae. Then, a spinal implant is inserted to keep the spine straight after the operation. Both surgeons and medical device companies will benefit from a model pediatric spine that allows them to make measurements and predictions. "Different spinal surgeons approach how they would correct that disfigurement differently," Lewis said. "There is no cookie-cutter method or way of fixing it, because right now it's impossible to understand how different operations or implants will change and grow with a child." Bioengineering is one of the fastest growing graduate programs at the University with 46 students after only three years in existence. Friis said every student she has worked with in a bioengineering lab has gone on to work in the field. "The subject just really interests me," Lewis said. "Helping people and all the research — when I was in high school I tore my ACL and became really interested in medical devices and technology. I went into engineering knowing I wanted to go into the medical field." The pediatric spine model may be a difficult project, but Fries is confident in her students' abilities. "There are different and new challenges being brought up," Friis said. "But we have the experience behind us of making the adult model work that should really jump-start the project."

LOS ANGELES — In his previous Oscar-winning documentary, filmmaker Davis Guggenheim handled Al Gore, manmade climate change and imminent global peril. In "Waiting for Superman," Guggenheim vies to do for education reform what "An Inconvenient Truth" did for global warming; raise awareness, make people care and push toward a solution. But this latest docu-editorial will divide some of his biggest fans. With the global-warming film, carbon dioxide and its producers made convenient, relatively noncontroversial targets for the film's core audience and among the director's Democratic Party friends. This time, the pervasive, harmful force he depicts is teacher unions, which have driven Democratic education policy for decades.

"Teachers are great, a national treasure. Teachers' unions are, generally speaking, a menace and an impediment to reform." The quality of public education has become a charged topic of late and, in various iterations, Alter's point is sounded in other education documentaries released this year, including "The Cartel," written and directed by Bob Bowdon, and "The Lottery," by director Madeleine Sackler and cinematographer Wolfgang Held. This idea is succinctly expressed in the movie by Newsweek commentator Jonathan Alter. minority students seeking to flee or avoid lousy, traditional, urban public schools; one white girl wants to escape a mediocre suburban high school that isn't adequately preparing her for college. Paramount Pictures "Waiting for Superman" portrays five students from around the country, and their parents' efforts to gain admission into a charter school: Four are "I'm tough on the Democratic Party," he said. "I'm tough on the centralized system of bureaucrats. And the lip service you get from all politicians. And I'm tough on the unions." He also concedes: "The union thing ... screams the loudest in the movie" Over ahi With solid writing, strong storytelling, persuasive graphics and clever animation, Guggenheim portrays how difficult it is to fire a bad teacher, how resistant unions are to reforms and how the "dance of the lemons" allows ineffective teachers to move from school to school. He portrays Randi Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers, as a bulwark against reform, an interesting choice given that some union stalwarts worry that Weingarten has given away the store to anti-union reformers. "Teachers are great, a national treasure. Teachers' unions are generally speaking, a menace and an impediment to reform." tuna salads at a downtown L.A. cafe, an earnest Guggenheim said his goal is to spread responsibility among "all the adults" for pervasive problems in education.

She's also encouraged her locals to make standardized test scores part of teacher evaluations. something unthinkable for a union leader not long ago. In public forums, Weingarten has characterized the film as a powerful, well-intentioned narrative that ultimately misleads in myriad ways. For one thing, she said, it overlooks research suggesting that charters, some of which have substantial philanthropic support, are performing no better than traditional schools overall. All the players in the education reform wars tend to cite research that aligns with their views. In an interview, Weingarten said she wonders why every desirable school in the film is a charter school. Charters are publicly funded free schools but privately owned and independently operated.

Yet the 26-year-old self-made billionaire has managed to keep a low public profile even as Facebook Inc. shot to stardom in Silicon Valley, catapulting Zuckerberg past Apple's Steve Jobs to become the world's 35thrichest American on the latest Forbes list. That is about to change. "The Social Network," from director David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin, about the messy and contentious founding of Facebook, is making its debut at the New York Film Festival on Friday, and the will soon know a lot more about Zuckerberg — or at least Hollywood's version of him. — often criticized for being too cavalier with the intimate details of other people's lives — is bracing for a movie that casts its chief executive as a scheming backstabber accused of stealing the idea for Facebook. The movie, with the provocative tagline "You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies," is an unflattering portrait focusing on the legal clashes between Zuckerberg and Harvard classmates over who should get credit for the social networking phenomenon. 1 Worried that the film could damage Zuckerberg's image, Facebook executives pressed the filmmakers for changes they did not get. Now the company "If this movie becomes big, a lot of people will be exposed to a side of Mark Zuckerberg that won't reflect positively on privacy issues on Facebook," said senior analyst Augie Ray, who follows social networking companies for Forrester Research. "The film is at its most fictional in its portrayal of Mark," Facebook investor and board member Peter Thiel said. "It's a pretty good portrayal of how business gets done in Hollywood, but not how business gets done in Silicon Valley." Neither Zuckerberg nor his close associates cooperated with the Sony Pictures film set for wide release Oct. 1. That has raised thorny questions about how much artistic license filmmakers should take in telling the story of an ambitious entrepreneur who gave birth to an Internet sensation while still a teenager. The filmmakers say they set out to capture a generation-defining moment, weaving a story from several different points of view over the founding of Facebook. "I would not want a movie made when I am 26 years old about decisions I made when I was a 19-year-old kid. I am very sympathetic," producer Scott Rudin said.

ON CAMPUS MEDIA Feedback on campus media welcome and encouraged Here's your first warning: I'm going to make a lot of sweeping generalizations in this column I suspect that first statement might entice some of the contrary (I mean this in a flattering way — including myself in that audience) among you to read further, so here's my second warning: I'm going to be talking about my sweeping generalizations — good and bad — about journalists. Journalists like to talk. Journalists also like to listen. Good journalists learn eventually to listen more than they talk. This very rarely comes naturally. Journalists like conflict. Journalists like controversy, scandal, downfall; indeed, the rush of news coverage is almost always related to the challenge of quickly processing information about someone else's hardship. Journalists enjoy knowing things other people do not. As someone interested and involved in media, I have always had an amused fascination with the way the collective media conscience perpetuates stereotypes of itself. The archetypal image of the prodding busybody stirring up trouble shows up not just in countless movies and the like, but also in various forms of news media itself. I think this is because — here's one last possibly negative generality — we journalists like this reputation. editor's notes But here's where I get to the good part. Bear with me, I BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com Journalists are all these things listed above because we really like people. And because we really like people, we really care deeply for people. The Kansas campus media staff this semester, as a selection of budding journalists, is likely the most diverse of any of the many semesters I have worked with. We come from many different parts of the country (with many of us having lived across the world), from many different socioeconomic backgrounds, from different religions, different ethnicities, even, despite our college setting, many different ages. But — and forgive me now if this is too fundamentally hokey and sentimental — what really brings us together is that we're all journalists. And as journalists, we're bound by a common care for our communities. We're gossipy newshounds, believe it or not, because we love people and we want to serve them. Unfortunately, though, what frequently stands in the way of us better serving our communities through information is the difficulty of getting constructive feedback from the people we serve. In short, we need you to help us serve you better. I'm proud to say that I have gotten a lot of this feedback so far this semester, and I want to make an open and public commitment to working hard to respond to this feedback. I want to thank our readers for making their voices heard, and I want to encourage even more readers to come forward with their suggestions. In short, I want to listen more than I talk. To get in touch with me, you can always e-mail me at editor@ kansan.com or through my personal e-mail, agarrison@ kansan.com. You can also find me in the newsroom — 2000 Dole Human Development Center — for open office hours from noon to 5 p.m. every Friday. I think journalists are good people. The journalists I get the extreme pleasure of working with on the Kansan are, at least. Expressing your views on our journalism with us can help us become better journalists and, together as a community of KU students, we can all become better people.

MARIAM SAIFAN GUEST COLUMN Animal products in goods not limited to usual suspects Making the switch to being a vegan — someone who does not consume or use any products that contain animal products — is undoubtedly a huge lifestyle change, and an admirable one at that. Walking by those big tubs of ice cream, leaving the gooey cheese off your sandwich and skipping the omelet bar line can be difficult, and making the change takes some extreme dedication. Ever heard of Amino L-cysteine? Me neither, but it's creeping into your baked goods. It's a product derived from animal hair and feathers, and it can be found in the ingredient lists of bread and crackers. Breads enriched with whey protein or omega-3 fatty acids also don't fall into the vegan-friendly category Even all these measures may not be enough. Animal products are lurking in the most obscure places, sneaking their way into your foods, your beauty products, and your clothing, even when you thought you had escaped them completely. since whey is a milk product and omega-3's can contain fish oil. Scan your bread labels carefully for these ingredients, but chances are a bread with a laundry list of chemicals shouldn't be entering your stomach anyway. One of the most ambiguous categories of food where you would never expect to find animal products (with the exception of milk chocolate) is candy. Marshmallow and Jell-O both contain gelatin, a product made from animal bones. Any food or candy containing lard (pie crusts, many fried frozen foods, cookies, candy and everything else dangerously delicious) are a no-no; lard is pig fat and that's definitely not vegan. Even some food coloring can slip onto the prohibited list. Red food coloring is generally made from cochineal. If being vegan doesn't defer you from eating this, learning what cochineal actually is will. Ready? It's a parasite native to South America and Mexico. Yes, it is made from insects and that should be a food group strictly confined to "Fear Factor." Hidden animal products don't just creep into what you eat — they can be around your house, too. First, any product that doesn't have a label that says something along the lines of, "This product was not tested on animals," most likely was. Many soap products are made with sodium tallowate, which is just a fancy name for animal fat. If you're ever not sure of an ingredient in a product or a food, it never hurts to do a quick Google search before you buy anything. Do your homework if you commit yourself to the lifestyle of eliminating animal products from your life. Being a vegan isn't about depriving yourself of everything you once loved, but rather exploring new options and choices that suit you and your new lifestyle too. — From UWIRE. The Daily Campus at The University of Connecticut UNEMPLOYMENT Unemployment extentions important to help families Imagine a time perhaps five years from now, when many of you will have careers and a family that depends on you for financial stability. You are living a comfortable life and working for the future, when a nasty recession hits and all of a sudden you lose your job. You go on unemployment, but it doesn't last. What do you do when it runs out? As of June, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that Kansas' unemployment rate is 6.5 percent, which translates into about 183,000 residents. It seems that the state has it relatively easy when considering that just across the border, my home state of Missouri has a 9.2 percent rate, while for the United States as a whole it's 9.6 percent. That's a whole lot of unemployed people, and many of them must fight daily to keep food on the table and a sense of hope within themselves after the unemployment checks stop coming in the mail. Many of your parents are in this position. If you haven't experienced it firsthand, you have at least likely known someone whose life has been altered, slightly or radically, by the loss of a job in your immediate family. As a country, we need an extension of unemployment insurance benefits, and there is currently a solution waiting in the Senate. According to OpenCongress.org, the Americans Want to Work Act "would add a fifth tier of unemployment insurance benefits in states with unemployment rates above 7.5 percent", adding an additional 20 weeks of benefits payments. It would also create more incentives for businesses to hire unemployed workers. If the thought of so many millions of American adults and children facing a daily struggle to exist, much less thrive, is not enough to make you pick up the phone and call your senators, then consider the economic implications of extending unemployment. Progressive Perspective BY ALI FREE Extending unemployment benefits stimulates the economy in a disarmingly simple process. When a person is out of a job, his or her household experiences a considerable decline in the amount of money they have to spend in relation to their normal spending habits. Because of this, when unemployment benefits are offered the household is likely to spend a high percentage of this money, almost always on basic consumer necessities such as food and housing. The unemployment insurance benefits go directly back into the economy. This line of reasoning leads the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities to conclude that "unemployment insurance is a particularly effective stimulus." So call your senators, tell them you want a vote on this important bill. If you're from Kansas, tell Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback to get their acts together and begin prioritizing the needs of actual people, rather than playing political games and making a big fuss about the all of a sudden crucial national debt. Calling your senators and representatives does make a difference. Even Lady Gaga knows this — that's why she's telling her considerable fan base to call up Washington and ask for a repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (which, by the way, you should also do). You will probably not speak directly to your senator, but the staff member taking your call tabulates how many constituents call and what stance each has. You can help change the lives of millions for the better. Free is a sophomore from Blue Springs, Mo., in women's studies.

New leaders consider the future of Kansas Athletics BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com The temporary chairman of Kansas Athletics' board of directors sat by the interim athletics director and offered sentiments no more set in stone, albeit in jest. "Congratulations — I think," Jerry Bailey said to Sean Lester, who is in his second week as interim athletics director. Bailey Lester Tasked with rethinking its composition and purpose, the board maintained a light mood in its Thursday meeting, despite the existential questions hanging in the balance. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little told the board that outside representation should be considered, as should the means of selecting a permanent chairperson. The board's role in reviewing personnel and financial matters is also up for revision. Gray-Little removed the athletics director as chairman of the board in August and appointed Bailey, associate professor of education, to the position for the rest of the year. affiliated with the University. Kansas Board of Regents chairman Gary Scherrer has urged this change. "Outside eyes and outside perspectives are healthy,"Scherrer said last week after the regents' meeting. "Outside eyes and outside perspectives are healthy." serving as chairwoman for the board only if the board's members were compelled to have her fill that role. Otherwise, she said it didn't make sense to have the chancellor lead a board overseeing Athletics when the athletics director already reports to her. GARY SCHERRER Kansas Board of Regents chairman Bailey researched how other universities structured their athletics advisory boards, finding that in most cases the university chief executive officer — typically a university's chancellor or president — led the board. Gray-Little said this was illogical to her. She said she would consider The board's bylaws require it to meet at least four times a year. though members suggested more correspondence may be necessary considering its tasks this year. The board agreed to gather feedback on who should serve as chairperson in the future and possible additions to its structure. It agreed to gather this information by Oct. 14 and discuss it in its next meeting in early November. The board's members include the athletics director, provost, student body president, vice provost for Student Success, a faculty athletics director and the University's chief business and financial planning officer. Edited by Alex Tretbar Engineering students win top slots at jet conference ACADEMICS BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com For the first time in the history of the Aviation, Technology. Integration and Operations conference, one university took the top three spots. Three students at the University of Kansas created designs that won the university those spots. The conference was held by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics last week in Fort Worth, Texas. Competitors, such as MIT, Stanford and Cal. Tech, were asked to design a business jet that had a large cabin, could use relatively short runways and fly farther. The contest drew competitors from 55 universities worldwide, but KU students didn't have anything to worry about because they have won more awards for aerospace engineering than any university in the world. Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, associate professor of aerospace engineering, said the competition was like the Indianapolis 500 of aerospace competitions. The first-place winner, Lauren Fitzpatrick, a 2010 graduate from Stilwell, is the first black woman to ever win this award. She used an old design to build her model aircraft. Most business jets hold fuel in a compartment under the plane or in the tail cone, Fitzpatrick said. But she used a fuel-storage system called slipper tanks under the wings of the aircraft. These slipper tanks were last used in the 1960s but were abandoned because they created extra weight and drag. Barrett-Gonzalez said. Fitzpatrick also used the slipper tanks to store the main landing gear to make up for the slipper tanks' problems. "Lauren is a student of history," Barrett-Gonzalez said. "She resurrected an idea, updated it and improved it." Fitzpatrick said this design was safer than other storage fuel options because in the event of a crash in regular jets the passengers are in the same space as the fuel so "they'd be incinerated." NASA contacted Fitzpatrick after her presentation to inquire about her design. "I started with a blank sheet of paper, and I finished with a winning design." Fitzpatrick said. "It's such an honor." Fitzpatrick and the runners-up completed the project as part of a senior design class for the aerospace engineering program. Sarah Kulhanek, a graduate student from Deerfield, Ill., designed the second-place plane, She said her design was unique because her plane was the same size from end to end. Other business jets are tapered like a Coke bottle and you have to crouch to get into them, she said. She said their designs represented the next phase in business jets. Kulhanek's jet would cost $14 million to build and operate. "This project was the integration of all our classes from freshman to senior year," Kelhanek said. "It's most exciting that KU swept the top three spots." swept the top three spots Barrett-Gonzalez said this project was important for Kansas tax-payers because aerospace is one of the top two industries in the state. More than two-thirds of airplanes made in the Western Hemisphere come from Kansas. "Competitions like these are more important than the accolades," Barrett-Gonzalez said. "Our program directly supports one of our most important industries in our state." Edited by David Cawthon NATIONAL Feds object to injunction against DADT ban ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN DIEGO — Attorneys for the Obama administration objected Thursday to a proposed worldwide injunction being considered by a California federal judge that would halt the military's ban on openly gay troops. Calling the possible move "untenable," Department of Justice attorneys filed their objections in U.S. District Court in Riverside. They said Judge Virginia Phillips, who declared the policy unconstitutional earlier this month, would be overstepping her bounds if she tried to stop it in its tracks. Instead, she should limit any injunction to the 19,000 members of the Log Cabin Republicans, the gay rights organization that filed the lawsuit to stop enforcement of the ban, the lawyers said. The case has put the White House in the uncomfortable position of defending a policy President Obama has said he wants repealed. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the Department of Justice traditionally defends legal challenges to acts of Congress, but that does not mean the administration is backpedaling on its efforts to get rid of "don't ask, don't tell." "This filing in no way diminishes the president's firm commitment to achieve a legislative repeal of DADT — indeed, it clearly shows why Congress must act to end this misguided policy," Gibbs said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press. Phillips was asked to order an injunction that would immediately stop the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy from being used to discharge any U.S. military personnel anywhere in the world.

"It's absolutely gorgeous." Price said. The players poured out of the dugout and began sprinting to the Fall ball's 45 day practice regimen has begun, and yet another season of Kansas Baseball is on the way.

"It's probably the finest playing surface in the country right now," coach Rich Price said. Gone are the days of funky hops that make infielders cringe and coaches nauseous. The new surface is supposed to hold the ball true, and make things much easier across the infield. infielder really good. The reality of it is there are no bad hops," coach Price said. "It should make an average Having such a state of the art field does put more pressure on the infielders. "It's a perfect playing surface. There are no excuses. If you kick the ball, it's all on you." Price said as he clapped a wry smile. As for the team, Kansas looks very young, but they still have an array of talent. The team lost its second, third and fourth hitters in the lineup. A lot of the positions are open, and the 42 days of fall ball are where players look to every day and improve." This year's team is in a unique situation as they had seven players drafted and six of them signed. "We basically have turned over almost three quarters of our roster," Price said. "We have talent; we're just really young." "It's a perfect playing surface, there are no excuses..." Pitching for Kansas will be as big of a question mark as any.

The pitching staff for Kansas last year was ravaged by injuries, and as a result, consistency was a serious issue for the them. Walz hopes the team can fix that season. "We need to have a killer instinct attitude and also just throw more strikes," he said. The youth of the Jayhawks won't change their expectations as they look to come out onto the field and take care of business." The goal has got be to win a Big 12 championship" said Waters.

"We got to see some things happen today that I've never seen before," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. "It's a day I'll always remember." Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki also became the first player with 10 straight 200-hit seasons, breaking his own record with a fifth-inning single.

Karlie Brown/KANSAN This will be the first time since 1999 that Kansas has opened Big 12 play against Missouri. Although Kansas usually plays Missouri closer to the end of the season, coach Mark Francis said that the team is ready. Missouri is currently 2-4-2 and was picked to finish third in the Big 12 preseason poll, while Kansas was picked to finish eighth. During Francis' time at Kansas, the team has had an 8-6-1 record against Missouri. KANSAS 5 Missouri State 15 Francis said the Missouri team is athletic and physical, with an average of just less than 15 fouls per game. However, senior midfielder Erin Ellefson said this is nothing unlike past matchups. "Kansas versus Missouri is always physical," Elleson said. Junior forward Kortney Clifton outpaces a Missouri State defender during a game last week. The Jayhawks open Big 12 play this evening, facing off against Missouri in Columbia at 6:30 p.m. Francis said his team has been through highly physical matchups before, which gives him confidence for the Missouri game. "I think we will be ready," Francis said. The game will match the Jayhawks against some of the conference's top players, including Missouri's leading scorer, forward Alysia Bonnick. Bonnick is the best offensive threat for Missouri, netting five goals throughout this season's eight games. Francis noted that Bonnick is a big time player and he said that the Jayhawks would have to play good one-on-one defense against her. The game also comes with the high stakes of competition, which Francis said should serve as motivation. "Big game, big, big rivalry. If the kids aren't ready to play Friday, they might as well pack it in and go home," he said. The players also have their own reasons to stay motivated.

Q: When was the last time Kansas had a losing record during its non-conference schedule? A: 1993 when the Jayhawks were 1-3.

Fans are asked to bring just one item per person. Tim Dwyer Crazy? Not in the sports world ESPN has been pretty good about coming up with clever commercials. Its latest humorous ads use the theme, "It's not crazy. It's sports." I particularly like the commercial that opens with a group of jocks sitting around a table, over-analyzing baseball statistics for fantasy baseball. Then, some stereotypical nerds are seen walking up. Kids with glasses, weirdly shaped bodies — you know, the type of kids who are always seen getting a swirly in the movies. They stop, call the jocks nerds, laugh and walk off. The commercial finishes by saying, "It's not crazy. It's sports." MORNING BREW This motto definitely applies to the sporting world. Just look around. A couple of things jump to mind that are crazy, but somehow happen because "It's sports" Most people would be happy to have any type of job after spending 18 months in jail. Michael Vick didn't just find any job, he found a spot on the roster of a professional football team. PETER MAYER Many scoffed at the Philadelphia Eagles when they signed Vick and figured he wouldn't last that long, playing a backup role to Donovan McNabb at best. However, after the Eagles traded McNabb during the offseason and Kevin Kolb was injured in their first game, Vick had an opportunity. He took that opportunity and played so well that coach Andy Reid had to give him the starting job. The former BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com first round pick has done his time and is now back with a second chance to prove himself. Another ridiculous incident in sports involves the Oregon State football team. On Saturday, No. 24 Oregon State will travel to No. 3 Boise State to take on the Broncos on their infamous blue turf. But, for once, the visiting team won't be awed by the abnormal playing surface. Oregon State painted its practice field blue this week to get ready for the Boise State game. This may seem foolish, but I don't blame Oregon State for trying anything to prepareeto break Boise's 56-game winning streak at home. My final example is one that most people know about. A 40-year-old man fake-retiring every year, only to skip training camp and still somehow start on an NFL team is amazing. Whether you are a Brett Favre fan or not, you have to admit THE MORNING BREW you don't see something like this very often. I would like to see how Brett Favre walks when he is 60 years old. By then he will probably be tearing up the wheelchair league with an insane passing rating. Favre is a grandfather and a starting quarterback in the NFL — try to figure that one out. My point in saying all this is that you can't try to rationalize events that happen in sports; they are too spontaneous and sometimes defy common sense. So the next time you see a mascot fight, or hear of a player allegedly shooting himself in the foot at a strip club, just remember: "It's not crazy. It's sports." Edited by Dana Meredith COLLEGE FOOTBALL The Panthers went 9-1 last season and won the SWAC with their only defeat a 21-18 non- Rebuilt team shocked by recent loss MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas There was a time in the notso-distant past when handling defeat was like rolling out of bed to the Prairie View A&M football team. It was routine,rote,all too regular. Holders of the NCAA record for consecutive losses at a mindboggling 80 from 1989 to 1998, the Panthers did not post a winning season from 1976 through 2006. Rebuilt into one of the top black college programs in the nation. Prairie View A&M no longer takes losing in stride. Yet there was nothing been there, done-that about their latest loss. A last-minute 47-yard field goal by Alabama State resulted in an 18-15 defeat Saturday in front of a shocked crowd at Blackshear Stadium. Walking off the field with a 15-game Southwestern Athletic Conference winning streak in tatters, players sank into an abyss of remorse and pain. "This is awful," said senior receiver Shaun Stephens. "We just don't do this." Not anymore, anyway. did sort to take all of us by surprise", Panters coach Henry Frazier III said Monday. "Our players felt like it was the end of the world . . . and it's not. That's a lesson right there that we "Grambling is a great team and we can't afford another loss. We have to win. No excuses." conference loss to New Mexico State. Two seasons ago, they also went 9-1, losing only to Grambling State in the State Fair Classic. Saturday, they will return to the Cotton Bowl for the State Fair Classic against Grambling, which last year lost to the Prairie View for the first time since 1986. Prairie View, located northwest of Houston, has historically been a strong academic school that produced engineers, teachers and nurses. Once a powerhouse in the 1950s and '60s, it produced NFI Hall of Famers Kenny Houston and Otis Taylor. But things started to slip in the 1970s and '80s, and the school finally shut the program down for a year in 1990 after "Id forgotten what it was like to handle a loss, and it really K. J. BLACK Prairie View A&M quarterback need to learn. We have a big game this week, and we need to learn how to bounce back and how to respond to a loss." Frazier could write a book on lessons. Taking over in 2004 at Prairie View A&M, he has changed not only the structure of the program but the feel. Bringing in coaches he knew from Maryland, where he was first a successful player at Bowie State and then a successful coach, he has constructed a staff that simply gets the job done. coach Haney Catchings pleaded guilty to expense report fraud. But instead of rebuilding, the football team limped back with no scholarships. The Panthers were outscored 617-48 that first season back, which included a 92-6 loss to Alabama State. A decade later, coach Greg Johnson led the team to a 14-12 win over Langston to end the 80-game losing streak and started the ball rolling. When Dr. George C. Wright was named president in 2003, he dedicated funding to shore up outdated facilities and hired Frazier away from Bowie State. Slowly, things changed. In 2007, the Panthers went 7-3 and lost to Grambling, 17-14, at the State Fair Classic. "I think we really felt the pride of the program and understood we could do anything," said senior punter Pedro Ventura. "All of the coaches are very positive and they push you to believe, to have pride, to put the work in. And we believe." Quarterback K.J. Black transferred from Western Kentucky two years ago and said he doesn't look at the past. "We do have high expectations, but we think we've earned it." Black said. "We want that pressure to win every game, because we know it will drive us. As good as last year was, it was last year. We have new goals for this year." Black missed the first two games of the season with a knee injury and is still shaking the rust off. The defending SWAC Offensive Player of the Year said that with one conference loss already, the pressure will intensify. "Grambling is a great team and we can't afford another loss," he said. "We have to win. No excuses." That's a sign that the program is exactly where it needs to be. When players pick up the expectations and push each other, that's when tradition and consistency can take over.

The Cardinals snapped a threegame losing streak and won for just the 13th time in 38 games since Aug. 14, the last day they were in first place in the NL Central. St. Louis' chances of defending its division title remain slim. The Cardinals trail idle Cincinnati by 71/2 games with only 10 games left. Pittsburgh had its season-high five-game winning streak come to an end. The Pirates are one defeat short of their first 100-loss season since 2001. Pujols got three hits, drove in three runs and scored three times. Cardinals rookie Daniel Descalso had four hits, including a double, in his second major league start. Holliday and Nick Stavinoha each had two of the Cardinals' 15 hits. Jeff Suppan (2-7) won for just the second time in 13 starts this season, allowing one run and four hits in five innings.

"This week we have to concentrate on ourselves and get better every day. Last week was a disappointment for us but this week is a new week." The Jayhawks (1-2) host the Aggies (0-2) at 6 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. A Kansas loss would mean the team's first losing record in non-conference play since 1993. When the Kansas football team takes the field Saturday against New Mexico State, it will not be looking to make history. It will be looking to avoid it. The matchup pits the two struggling programs, both in rebuilding mode, against each other for the first time since 1991, when the Jayhawks defeated the Aggies 54-14 in Lawrence. Both programs come into the game with very different problems. For the Aggies it is a defense that has allowed at least 40 points in every game this season. While they have yet to show it, their offense has the potential to make up for their frequent lapses on defense. "Obviously their strengths are passing," Laptad said. "They are a big passing team so it will be a big test for the front four, getting pressure on the quarterback with a four-man rush. It is a lot of stand in the pocket. The quarterback gets rid of the ball fast, so it will be up to the defensive linemen to put pressure on him." only allowed one sack this season despite already recording 74 pass attempts through two games. For a Jayhawk defense that has only three sacks under its belt, none from its front four, the matchup against the Aggies' offensive line could be a true test. "Defensively, I am looking for them to play more physical and to be more consistent with their passion of the game," said coach Turner Gill. "Like they did with Georgia Tech, we have to have some more consistency game after game, week after week and hopefully as we go along year after year."

Norwegian returns for second year BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Monica Johannessen had to adapt to college life a little differently than her teammates. When the sophomore swimmer decided to make the University of Kansas her new home, her first trip to Lawrence was a long journey. The Haugesund, Norway native left her family and friends behind for a chance to study abroad and continue her swimming career. Johannessen committed to the Jayhawks without so much as a recruiting visit to Lawrence. She says the coaches, along with the beautiful campus, made her decision easier. "I just talked to the coaches and they made me really confident, and I just went for it," she said.

BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com It looks like the big 12 (they really need to get a new conference name, by the way), will be in that upper echelon come the 2011-2012 season. This conference has always been in the discussion of which is the best in the country for basketball. Drop the bottom two teams in the league, and it just may not be a discussion anymore to Oklahoma if he keeps losing — but there will be seven, eight or nine teams every year that are in serious contention for NCAA Tournament bids. There will obviously be bottom feeders — I'm skeptical that new coach Fred Hoiberg can turn around Iowa State and Jeff Capel won't keep getting top-tier talent to Oklahoma. Last year, for example, accord ing to the RPI, there were eight Big 12 teams that ranked above the worst at-large team. 15 If they play each other twice, that's 14 games that are eminently losable for each one of those teams. There won't be another undefeated team in the Big 12 because there will be just too much competition. And that will make the games all the sweeter. } Edited by Abby Davenport --- .

Boulevard has teamed with LaFarge to in an attempt to become zero landfill. like to see the same level of social pressure put on smokers applied to those who don't recycle. If individuals were forced to think more about recycling — by increasing the number of recycling bins on campus, for example — Gibson said they'd be more likely to do so Gibson then recorded the weight and volume of trash in each bin. She Gibson, a graduate student from Prairie Village, had the chance to test her hypothesis at Boulevard Brewing Company on Friday afternoon. With plans to go zero landfill by the end of the year, the Kansas City, Mo., brewing company requested AWMA to perform a waste audit of its facilities. To achieve zero landfill, Boulevard must send minimal to no trash to the landfill. More than 20 volunteers, including seven KU students, sorted two and a half days worth of trash collected from every department at the brewery. The volunteers divided the 226 pounds of trash into 14 purple bins labeled as different recyclable and non-recyclable materials. recorded that 187.55 pounds, or 83 percent, was food waste and compostable materials, such as napkins and paper plates, from Boulevard's hospitality rooms alone. Gibson, who spent most of the two-hour audit frantically writing notes on her clipboard, will present Boulevard with a final report in October. Laurie Williams, logistics manager for Boulevard, will use the report to determine where to place Gibson and Williams agreed that creating a more conscientious recycling culture at the brewery would be one of the most challenging obstacles to achieving zero landfill. Employees will no longer be allowed to simply throw everything into a trash can. additional recycling bins and how much non-recyclable waste will be diverted to Lafarge North America, a construction materials company "The ideal thing is to have everybody get on board with it," Williams said. "It's just a learning process." Instead of hauling it to a landfill, Boulevard will ship it to Lafarge's cement plant in Sugar Creek, Mo., located 10 miles northeast of Kansas City. Because cement is made at extremely high temperatures, the plant can burn almost anything as alternative fuel. Kurt Gerdes, education chairman for AWMA's Midwest section, said about half of the plant's fuel comes from alternative fuels such as the non-recyclable waste collected at Boulevard. "You'll get to the point where nobody working here sees trash," Gibson said. "They'll only see energy." - Edited by Anna Nordling Salon Nouveau to host program on porn industry Students get chance to hear experts and discuss taboo topic CAMPUS BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com "It is my hope to present the topic in a neutral way and to allow people to draw their own conclusions about whether they are proof anti-porn."

This conference has always been in the discussion of which is the best in the country for basketball. Drop the bottom two teams in the league, and it just may not be a discussion anymore. BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com There will obviously be bottom feeders — I'm skeptical that new coach Fred Hoiberg can turn around Iowa State and Jeff Capel won't keep getting top-tier talent to Oklahoma if he keeps losing — but there will be seven, eight or nine teams every year that are in serious contention for NCAA Tournament bids. Last year, for example, according to the RPI, there were eight Big 12 teams thatanked above the worst at-large team. top-10 matchup and no games off If they play each other twice, that 14 games that are eminently losable for each one of those teams. There won't be another undefeated team in the Big 12 because there will be just too much competition. And that will make the games all the sweeter. 12 - Edited by Abby Davenport } X --- 2.

The Falcons entered the game leading the nation with 423 rushing yards per game. OU allowed 351 yards total. The Sooner defense only allowed three points in the first half nut 21 in the second. Oklahoma wide receiver Ryan Broyles, front, is tackled by Air Force cornerback Jon Davis, right, in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game in Norman, Okla. "I don't care about the yards, I just don't like the sloppiness" defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "Yards don't matter, winning does." Venables said the team's tackling worsened as they allowed Air Force to fight back. Redshirt freshman linebacker Tom Wort said the defense should have executed better in the second half. Venables said earlier in the week that Air Force's triple-option attack is unique. "We were slipping off tackles that we should have made," Wort said. Junior linebacker Travis Lewis said facing the Falcons' offense was challenging, and he doesn't want to play a team that runs anything like it again. Coaches and players said all week that they felt uncomfortable preparing for the Air Force offense. One of the hardest parts, Venables said, was knowing the strategy and preparation would not translate to any of the Sooners' other games. "You know, we did enough to get the win," Wort said. Psychologists try to help Missouri win By John Montesantos The Maneater Although Pinkel praised the services the doctors provide for his team, he said there is no "magic" to the system. There is much more to playing good football than the mental side of things. The most recent addition to Tigers' arsenal is an advantage that cannot be seen. Coach Gary Pinkel is a firm proponent of a sound body in his players. That's why he has two sports psychologists on his staff that train the Tigers throughout the year. "Our team has taken it very seriously," Moe said. "That's the only way it can help you is if you really take it seriously and use it." "What triggered it is the term 'focus,' Pinkel said. "My concern is that we don't focus well enough." Pinkel and the psychologists strive to condition the players to focus, whether it is during the game or while preparing the week before. "Ninety-five percent of football is still being physically strong enough." Pinkel said. "But there's that other little edge that we can get to Sophomore wide receiver TJ. Moe knows the benefits of the program firsthand and is happy to see his teammates take advantage. help our players." Moe pursues that extra edge with the same passion he uses to improve his play in practice. The budding wideout takes advantage of the psychology meetings that have helped him since his freshman year. "I think it's been a tremendous help," Moe said. "It's just focus. A lot of times, especially for young guys, it's hard for us to go from one thing to another and re-focus every time." No matter how mentally sound they are, nothing can compare to live action and game experience for the Tiger youngsters. Injuries and suspensions on the Missouri defense have given a chance for some underclassmen to prove themselves early in the season. Senior linebacker Andrew Gachkar knows how important those opportunities are for the depth chart. "It's definitely a big thing," Gachkar said. "It's key in getting depth, and that's something you need when you go into conference play. They all got good time, so that's definitely positive." The Tigers are now focused on San Diego State as they prepare for Saturday's game. Kansas State Wildcats O-line leads Kansas State in right direction By Ashley Dunkak Kansas State Collegian Head coach Bill Snyder distributed accolades at Tuesday's press conference, but he did temper them with caution. Amid his positive comments about the running backs, offensive line and even this week's opponent, University of Central Florida, Snyder wants the team to stay level-headed. With Saturday's home game, the Wildcats have the opportunity to start a season 4-0 for the first time since 2006. Last year, K-State won four of five games in the middle of the season but finished by losing three of four. The K-State offense faces a test in the Central Florida defense, which is nationally ranked in several categories. Snyder said with the exception of last week's interception, senior quarterback Carson Coffman has been fairly consistent. "That was just a glitch that was so costly," Snyder said. "If that were an interception at the other end of the field, you still wouldn't like it, but it wouldn't have had the ramifications that this one did. But I would say that he's been consistent throughout." THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 24,2010 The one getting the ball to Coffman is senior center Wade Weibert. Snyder said he has become proficient at the position - not an easy one, especially having to come right up from hiking the ball to block a 300-pound lineman. "I think he's provided and offered quality leadership within not just our offensive line but our offense in general." Snyder said. "He just continues to work extremely hard to get himself better." In addition to making communication contributions and last-second changes to blocking schemes, Weibert also operates as a leader of the team. As far as the offensive line in general, Snyder said it is not without glitches, but that is the case everywhere. He said the time together has made the linemen much better. "A lot of pass protection is being able to work together," Snyder said. "It's not always just the one-on-one environments. Being able to make the right calls, get into the right protection, be able to help each other out, and I think the more you work together, the better you become at that." When asked about how important it is for the team to go 4-0, Snyder paused, with kind of a funny look on his face, until finally people started laughing. "It's like saying, 'Would you rather be dead or alive?' Snyder said. "You'd rather win than lose. It's better than the alternative. The important thing is whether or not we're getting better and what direction that we're going." 85 ASSOCIATED PRESS Iowa State wide receiver Jake Williams dives into the end zone under pressure from Kansas State cornerback Tvawn Hartman.

THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 24, 2010 Not that it should have right away. It was the first game of the year, and the Huskers were replacing five graduated starters, not including the losses of Will Compton and Sean Fisher to injuries. When coach Bo Pelini claims that this year's defense will upstage last year's, the expectations are going to be high. Nebraska's defense didn't play to the same level as last year. The Huskers gave up 179 rushing yards, more than they gave up in any one game last season. Western Kentucky's Bobby Rainey had 155 yards, the most any running back has rushed for since Pelini became NU's coach. Some of the responsibility falls on the starting linebackers, Lavonte David and Alonzo Whaley. David led NU with 13 tackles, but Pelini said he still has work to do. David said he agreed with Pelini's assessment. "Yeah, most of it was our fault," David said. "I had the opportunity, and I was just going for the tackle, but the ball came out too" Gomes said. The highlight for the Blackshirts was a fumble forced by DeJon Gomes just before Rainey crossed the goal line in the third quarter. Rainey sprinted 46 yards up the middle before Gomes caught him from behind. The ball popped out in the end zone, where it was recovered by Eric Haga. Without that fumble, the Hilltoppers would have had another seven points, which would have given them more than any NU non-conference opponent last year. And the team that had the most rushing yards against NU last year? That would be Arkansas State, another overmatched early-season opponent. But it's just one game. The Huskers had five players making their first career start, including both starting linebackers depended on to make calls and direct the rest of the defense. "It's the first game." Pelini said. "I've seen a lot of good things defensively through camp. I think we're going to be a good defense." Texas Longhorns Freshman Jeffcoat proves himself By Laken Litman The Daily Texan After Saturday's 24-14 win over Texas Tech, defensive coordinator Will Muschamp was awarded the game ball by his players. And rightfully so, as it was the defense that drove Texas to its big 12 win of the season. In August, before football season had started, head coach Mack Brown remarked that this year's defense was going to be the best he'd ever coached. And he wasn't kidding. In their first real challenge of the year, the Longhorns limited Texas Tech's offense to 144 total yards and just one touchdown. "We were pretty dominating," Brown said. "I thought the defensive staff did a tremendous job of playing a lot of guys and keeping fresh legs on the field." Texas played as many as 10 down linemen, even though the starting front four that consisted of Acho, Kheeston Randall, Eddie Jones and Jackson Jeffcoat never seemed to come off the field. Jeffcoat played a crucial role in the Longhorns pass-rush. The true freshman started his second game in a row and although he didn't rack up that many stats, he had a hand in almost every momentum-swinging play the defense made. Both the players and coaches have noticed how quickly Jeffcoat has grown accustomed to the speed of the college game. Jeffcoat made the Longhorns' first big play of the game when he recovered a fumble on a bad snap that went through Potts' hands to set up a short, 7-yard scoring drive for Texas in the opening minutes. The Red Raiders couldn't capitalize on many plays thanks to Texas' ball-hawking secondary that made three interceptions and the defensive line that controlled the line of scrimmage throughout the entire game. "We came into enemy territory and came out victorious," Acho said. "We were resilient and we fought and played until the game was over."

But, man, I am geeked for basketball next year. I almost wish I could be around one more year to cover it for The Kansan. Texas twice. Baylor twice.

Big 12 realignment leaves mixed feelings Nebraska fans are always listed among the most hospitable in the country and, for my money, Boulder is the best town in the Big 12. (If you haven't been, picture Lawrence with a mountainous backdrop.) COMMENTARY I'm not going to say I'm happy to see Nebraska and Colorado leave the Big 12. That'd be crazy. College basketball fans have loved the Big East over the last few years — even though late finishes have been cutting into the beginning of Kansas games on ESPN. Every week in the Big East it seems like there's at least one MURRAY — but there will be seven, eight or nine teams every year that are in serious contention for NCAA Tournament bids. There will obviously be bottom feeders — I'm skeptical that new coach Fred Hoiberg can turn around Iowa State and Jeff Capel won't keep getting top-tier talent to Oklahoma if he keeps losing top-10 matchup and no games off BY TIM DWYER dwyer@kansan.com It looks like the Big 12 (they really need to get a new conference name, by the way), will be in that upper echelon come the 2011-2012 season. This conference has always been in the discussion of which is the best in the country for basketball. Drop the bottom two teams in the league, and it just may not be a discussion anymore Last year, for example, according to the RPI, there were eight Big 12 teams that ranked above the worst at-large team. If they play each other twice, that's 14 games that are eminently losable for each one of those teams. There won't be another undefeated team in the Big 12 because there will be just too much competition. And that will make the games all the sweeter. 5 Edited by Abby Davenport } FOOTBALL Baylor Bears 7 Baylor 'embarrassed by 45-10 loss to TCU By Chris Derrett The Lariat ASSOCIATED PRESS The Lariat The Bears were outplayed in most aspects of the game they lost to TCU, 45-10, Saturday in Fort Worth. Redshirt sophomore Quarterback Robert Griffin connected 16 of 28 passes for 164 yards in what he considered a humiliating defeat. 8 "It's just embarrassing. I've never been more embarrassed in my life." Griffin said. Baylor linebacker Chris Francis, right front, sits with teammates on the bench in the closing minutes of an NCAA college football game against TCU Redshirt freshman Aaron Jones' 48-yard field goal in the first quarter was the Bears lone first-half score. Griffin hit freshman receiver Josh Gordon on a third-quarter sideline route for a 53-yard touchdown, but the game proved too far out of reach. "The thing that bothers me is we didn't challenge them enough. That's something we've got to do better in environments like this," head coach Art Briles said. Bilies shared Griffin's sentiment that the Bears did not represent their university in a way the team felt was possible. "I feel embarrassed for Baylor University, but we are going to fight our tail off and get it right. We aren't going to let this be the thing that defines us in 2010." Briles said. After Baylor's first possession went three-and-out, the Horned Frogs attacked with the running game that helped them beat No. 24 Oregon State and Division I-AA Tennessee Tech. Running back Ed Wesley helped push the TCU lead to 14-0, finding a hole and bursting down the left sideline for a 49-yard touchdown. Wesley gained 165 yards on the ground on 19 attempts, which bested the Baylor team's 131 rush yards. Senior linebacker and team captain Antonio Johnson said getting in an early hole caused thoughts about previous plays to linger in the defense's minds. The Horned Frogs finished Saturday with 291 rush yards and 267 through the air, an offensive yardage total not surpassed since their 41-0 win over UNLV last year. With the Baylor secondary frequently playing TCU receivers seven or more yards off the line of scrimmage, questions also arose concerning the choice not to use press coverage. "Really, we have schemes and techniques that allow us to play up close and we, as players, need to utilize those and do what coach [defensive coordinator Brian Norwood] has taught us," sophomore cornerback Chance Casey said. TCU took just 2:20 to score its first touchdown, a 28-yard, play-action pass from quarterback Andy Dalton to a wide-open Jeremy Kerley as Baylor's pressure could not reach Dalton in time. After reviewing game film, Griffin said Monday that he saw an offense unable to operate the way it wanted because of TCU's early scoring. "They got up on us really quickly, so we had to go to some drastic measures on offense to try to put some points on the board. We couldn't really establish a rhythm," Griffin said. Baylor's offense began to show life on its second drive, as three rushes moved the ball 40 yards to the TCU 33-yard line. On the resulting set of downs, though, a penalty and two incomplete passes forced the Bears to settle for Jones' field goal. Gordon's touchdown was a glimmer of Baylor's offensive capability, but it was not nearly enough to overcome TCU. "That was the first time we went deep the whole game. I felt as though we could have been doing it more," Gordon said. With an upcoming game against Rice on the road, the Bears are already looking past Saturday. "None of us wanted to come out and have a showcase like this. It's a disappointment for our fans and for us. Hopefully our fans will travel to Houston, and we'll give them a good showing," Griffin said.

With plans to go zero landfill by the end of the year, the Kansas City, Mo., brewing company requested AWMA to perform a waste audit of its facilities. To achieve zero landfill, Boulevard must send minimal to no trash to the landfill. More than 20 volunteers, including seven KU students, sorted two and a half days worth of trash collected from every department at the brewery. The volunteers divided the 226 pounds of trash into 17 purple bins labeled as different recyclable and non-recyclable materials. "You'll get to the point where nobody working here sees trash," Gibson said. "They'll only see energy." Gibson then recorded the weight and volume of trash in each bin.

When the sophomore swimmer decided to make the University of Kansas her new home, her first trip to Lawrence was a long journey. The Haugesund, Norway native left her family and friends behind for a chance to study abroad and continue her swimming career. Johannessen committed to the Jayhawks without so much as a recruiting visit to Lawrence. She says the coaches, along with the beautiful campus, made her decision easier. "I just talked to the coaches and they made me really confident, and I just went for it," she said. Her favorite event is the 100 meter freestyle, where she boasts a career best time of 49.93 seconds and a first-place finish against Nebraska last season. After failing to qualify for the NCAA championships as a freshman, Johannessen said she hopes her sophomore campaign is different. She had a qualifying time last year, but the time was set in Norway, not in America. During her freshman campaign Johannessen placed in numerous events while earning a spot on the senior Norwegian National team. That gave her opportunities to travel home to see family, including her twin sister who also swims.

In his first two games, he has attempted 74 passes, completing only 38 of them for 423 yards and two touchdowns. Two running backs split carries for the Aggies, senior Seth Smith JASON Christian and sophomore Kenny Turner. Combined they have 110 yards and two touchdowns.

ESPN.com has ranked them in their bottom 10 of FBS teams every week this season. The Aggies were picked to finish eighth in the WAC. They haven't come close to winning either one of their games this year and the Jayhawks are 23-point favorites. PLAYER TO WATCH Senior wide receiver Marcus Allen Allen caught four passes for 114 yards and Allen touchdown in his first game of the year against San Diego State. Last week, he caught five passes for 65 yards against UTEP. Allen is the Aggies' most active receiver, as he currently ranks 29th in the nation in reception yards per game. QUESTION MARKS Will the Aggie defense find success against the Kansas offense? The Aggie defense has been plain awful. It ranks 114th in the FBS in points allowed and hasn't caused a turnover this year. The Kansas offense is looking for a spark after a disappointing and inconsistent showing last week against Southern Mississippi. If the Aggie defense wants to turn things around, the young Kansas offense and struggling Jayhawk offensive line should be the perfect remedy.

AARON BERLIN Guest columnist With the bright lights of ESPN's Friday night crew invading the small town of Hattiesburg, Miss., many sports anchors and questioning fans around the nation were watching Kansas closely to see if last week's win was a fluke or if the Kansas team was for real. What did we find out? After three weeks, I have come to a few conclusions. Jordan Webb Lets face it, the redshirt freshman-turned-Kansas savior looked respectable again Friday night. Webb, who has thrown for 365 yards in a run-first attack, went 16-for-26 with no interceptions and secured his spot starting for the Jayhawks for the remainder of the season. The only question left is how much longer can Turner Gill and Chuck Long allow Webb to get hit so often by opposing defenses. The major knock on Webb coming into the 2010 season was his lack of mobility. This has become apparent in early quarters of the game when the Golden Eagles were able to record four sacks against Kansas' young gunslinger. If you're counting at home, that's 12 sacks in three games for Kansas quarterbacks. Offensive line Perhaps the biggest storyline of the 2010 season so far has been the abysmal play of the Jayhawks o-line. Kansas allowed 10 tackles for a loss of yards 13 yards (per rivals) against Southern Mississippi's defense. This is surprising since that same defense allowed over 210 yards of offense to an inferior Prairie View A&M team last week. While it became apparent the offensive front would struggle after the season opener against North Dakota State, no one thought the smaller defensive front of the Golden Eagles would have their way with Kansas' offensive front. Special teams What is there to say really? The special teams units looked equally bad against Southern Mississippi as they did against North Dakota State. They allowed another blocked punt toward the end of the second quarter that swung all the momentum in USM's favor. After three games, it's safe to say the only bright spot here has been senior punter Alonso Rojas. His 14 punts that the offensive line hasn't allowed to get blocked have averaged 43.7 yards, and Rojas has easily been the only bright spot for a special teams unit that has looked confused and unsure of itself more than anything else. With Kansas starting freshmen at quarterback and running back, it's safe to say that more games like this will come. Just remember that while this Kansas team may struggle early on, eventually these infant Hawks will get their wings back and take flight. The only question becomes, how long does an aching fan base have to wait for these Hawks to mature?

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 24, 2010 SWIMMING & DIVING KU Adam Bubler/KANSAN Sophomore Monica Johannessen moved from Norway to swim at the University. Last season she finished first against Nebraska in the 100 meter freestyle with a time of 49.93 seconds. Norwegian returns for second year BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com kcarpenter@kansan.com Monica Johannessen had to adapt to college life a little differently than her teammates. When the sophomore swimmer decided to make the University of Kansas her new home, her first trip to Lawrence was a long journey. The Haugesund, Norway native left her family and friends behind for a chance to study abroad and continue her swimming career. Johannessen committed to the Jayhawks without so much as a recruiting visit to Lawrence. She says the coaches, along with the beautiful campus, made her decision easier. "I just talked to the coaches and they made me really confident. During her freshman campaign Johannessen placed in numerous events while earning a spot on the senior Norwegian National team. That gave her opportunities to travel home to see family, including her twin sister who also swims. and I just went for it," she said Her favorite event is the 100 meter freestyle, where she boasts a career best time of 49.93 seconds and a first-place finish against Nebraska last season. After failing to qualify for the NCAA championships as a freshman, Johannessen said she hopes her sophomore campaign is different. She had a qualifying time last year, but the time was set in Norway, not in America. Being away from home presents challenges to Johannessen, who has been thrown out of her comfort zone while being in the United States. She said her qualifying time from back home was attributed to familiarity with her long time teammates and twin sister. "The time obviously didn't transfer over to KU, but I feel like I can make that time in Lawrence this year," she said. "My biggest goal this season is to qualify for the NCAA championships."

But, man, I am geeked for basketball next year. I almost wish I could be around one more year to cover it for The Kansan. With only 10 schools, the league will go to a double round robin schedule — eighteen conference games, with each team playing all the others twice. Nebraska fans are always listed among the most hospitable in the country and, for my money, Boulder is the best town in the Big 12. (If you haven't been, picture Lawrence with a mountainous backdrop.) Texas twice. Baylor twice. Maybe Bill Self can get his record in Stillwater to .500 if he gets a crack at his alma mater every year. The revenue that both schools bring in — especially now that Bo Pelini has the Cornhuskers competing for BCS berths again — will also be missed by whoever is named athletics director, starting June 30 next year, per Tuesday's announcement. College basketball fans have loved the Big East over the last few years — even though late finishes have been cutting into the beginning of Kansas games on ESPN. Every week in the Big East it seems like there's at least one I'm not going to say I'm happy to see Nebraska and Colorado leave the Big 12. That'd be crazy D. JONES It looks like the Big 12 (they really need to get a new conference name, by the way), will be in that upper echelon come the 2011-2012 season. This conference has always been in the discussion of which is the best in the country for basketball. Drop the bottom two teams in the league, and it just may not be a discussion anymore. There will obviously be bottom feeders — I'm skeptical that new coach Fred Hoiberg can turn around Iowa State and Jeff Capel won't keep getting top-tier talent to Oklahoma if he keeps losing — but there will be seven, eight or nine teams every year that are in serious contention for NCAA Tournament bids.

Ryan Waggoner / KANSAN FILE PHOTO Chris Harris has seen it all during his time at KU. As a freshman, he started alongside Aqib Talib for 10 games, including the Orange Bowl victory where he snagged an interception. He then moved to safety eight games into his sophomore campaign, helping out a depleted defense while grabbing another pick and leading the Jayhawks to an Insight Bowl win. The tumultuous 2009 season was anything but for Harris. He moved back to his familiar cornerback spot and tallied 84 tackles with a sack. His senior season started out tough once again. After being upset by North Dakota State in week one and another tough loss at the hands of Southern Miss last weekend, Harris still believes in the defense. "We feel like we should be 3-0 right now," Harris says. "We're definitely disappointed in our two losses so far, but we still have time to put it together." A win following the upset of Georgia Tech might have been too much to ask for Harris and the rest of the defense. In 2009, teams that played the following week after facing the Yellow Jackets' powerful running attack only won two times, and both of those teams had extra rest. The Kansas defense was on short rest. After focusing on Georgia Tech's spread option running attack, the team had only 6 days to prepare for Larry Fedora and his spread offense. It was something the Jayhawks had not seen the first two weeks of the season. "We really didn't have any practice for their type of up tempo offense,but we should be better against the spread the rest of the year." Now that the defense has seen an array of multiple offenses, it is now time to put everything together if they plan to make a bowl appearance this season. Consistency, Harris says, is key. "We need to have an overall complete game coming up: special teams, defense and offense. We just need to put it all together and be consistent." Sometimes that is easier said than done, as these Jayhawks have been on a roller coaster ride early on this season. They started off terrible in week one but came back strong against Georgia Tech. They relapsed a bit against the Golden Eagles, often times showing signs of a young team with a brand new coaching staff. On numerous occasions the defense had trouble getting the play call in against the fast moving Southern Mississippi offense. That was something Harris contributed to a lack of rhythm within the defense. "Having a young team you see the ups and downs. I'm just trying to be a leader and help everybody out and get them ready for this week." "I'll definitely be blitzing throughout the year," Harris says. "Coach Torbush is continuing to find ways for me to make plays." If the Jayhawks have any shot at a bowl game this season, beating New Mexico State Saturday is practically a must-win. The Aggies come to Lawrence winless in two games with losses to San Diego State and UTEP. Supposedly the last easy game the Jayhawks have this season, Harris hopes to apply pressure to Aggie quarterback Matt Christian. "I feel like I have to go make the play before the quarterback gets the ball off," Harris says. "If not, I leave my other 10 guys hanging." Cornerback blitzes are a big-risk,big-reward play. If executed successfully, Harris and his counterparts catch the quarterback off guard for a sack. A wrong move or bad timing and the defense is left vulnerable for a big play downfield. The veteran defensive back knows the risks at hand. Although they've taken a different route, the team is right where many people predicted, sitting at 1-2 going into the last nonconference game. The Jayhawks go into Saturday's game as heavy favorites over the Aggies.

Boulevard has teamed with LaFarge to in an attempt to become zero landfill. like to see the same level of social pressure put on smokers applied to those who don't recycle. If individuals were forced to think more about recycling — by increasing the number of recycling bins on campus, for example — Gibson said they'd be more likely to do so. Gibson, a graduate student from Prairie Village, had the chance to test her hypothesis at Boulevard Brewing Company on Friday afternoon. With plans to go zero landfill by the end of the year, the Kansas City, Mo., brewing company requested AWMA to perform a waste audit of its facilities. To achieve zero landfill, Boulevard must send minimal to no trash to the landfill. More than 20 volunteers, including seven KU students, sorted two and a half days worth of trash collected from every department at the brewery. The volunteers divided the 226 pounds of trash into 14 purple bins labeled as different recyclable and non-recyclable materials. Gibson then recorded the weight and volume of trash in each bin. She recorded that 187.55 pounds, or 83 percent, was food waste and compostable materials, such as napkins and paper plates, from Boulevard's hospitality rooms alone. Gibson, who spent most of the two-hour audit frantically writing notes on her clipboard, will present Boulevard with a final report in October. Laurie Williams, logistics manager for Boulevard, will use the report to determine where to place "The ideal thing is to have everybody get on board with it." Williams said. "It's just a learning process." additional recycling bins and how much non-recyclable waste will be divert to Lafarge North America, a construction materials company. Gibson and Williams agreed that creating a more conscientious recycling culture at the brewery would be one of the most challenging obstacles to achieving zero landfill. Employees will no longer be allowed to simply throw everything into a trash can. Instead of hauling it to a landfill, Boulevard will ship it to Lafarge's cement plant in Sugar Creek, Mo., located 10 miles northeast of Kansas City. Because cement is made at extremely high temperatures, the plant can burn almost anything as alternative fuel. Kurt Gerdes, education chairman for AWMAs Midwest section, said about half of the plant's fuel comes from alternative fuels such as the non-recyclable waste collected at Boulevard. "You'll get to the point where nobody working here sees trash," Gibson said. "They'll only see energy."

For freshmen on the football team, their test came after weeks of practice and in a stadium full of thousands of Jayhawk fans with high expectations. Freshmen players Jordan Webb, Keeston Terry and Keba Agostinho have become leaders on the team. Day in and day out redshirt freshman quarterback Jordan Webb, freshman defensive end Keba Agostinho, and freshman safety Keeston Terry have been jockeying for spots on the roster for their respective positions. Webb brings great enthusiasm to the game and a lot of optimism at the quarterback position. This is just one of the many reasons Gill likes him leading the team. "I'm always encouraging my linemen to just make one big play or saying something like, 'Come on, boys, we need this one,' Webb says. 9 40 Webb comes from Union, MO. Union High School's head coach Brent Eckley always believed Webb had what it took to play at the college level. Each game Eckley always had confidence in Webb that he would lead his team to victory. Eckley says that Webb was a hard-worker, polite and smart - all making him a great leader. Webb also had the ability to make a play no matt what the situation. Dalton Gomez/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Freshman safety, Keeston Terry and Senior line backer Drew Dudley dive for a ball fumbled by Georgia Tech. Dudley snagged the ball giving him the only fumble return of the game. Although Keeston Terry played wide receiver at Blue Springs High School in Blue Springs, Missouri, he decided to join the Kansas defense at strong safety. The change in his position helped the KU defense be the strong wall that they are. "That is when we knew we had some thing special," Risien says. "Jordan just seemed to have that 'it' factor about him," Eckley says. Dalton Gomez/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Agostinho's high school coach, Flint Risien, always knew Agostinho had a shot at playing in the Big 12 because of his great work ethic and determination to be a great player. The coaching staff at James Taylor High School in Katy, Texas, felt strongly of Keba's potential to play at the college level, Risien says. After Agostino broke his arm during his junior year he had to miss the post season. Rather than lose steam, Agostino worked throughout the off-season to gain back what he had lost with his injury. He came back his senior year and played exceptionally, Risien says. On top of his work ethic, Agostinho uses senior captain defensive end Jake Laptad as his mentor. For some athletes, the person they are battling for a starting position is an enemy – but not for Agostinho; he enjoys having Laptad around. He feels that Laptad serves as a great leader, friend, role model, and someone that helps teach him the ropes. What Agostinho enjoys the most is that Laptad is just someone he can look up to or go to when he has any questions and being behind Laptad has helped him with every aspect of his game. "Being Laptad's back up is the best position on the field for me." Agostinho says. "Every day at practice I get to learn from a very experienced player." After the loss to North Dakota State, Webb says the team didn't change their mindset quickly, it would be another week of disappointed fans. "We need to have confidence in every game we play, if we don't have confidence then we are already beat before we step onto the field."Webb said. The team knew that a performance like the one against NDSU would not even put them close to the number 15 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The whole week leading up to the game Gill stressed one word: fast. Gill believed that if his team could pick up the tempo it would have a shot at their nationally ranked opponent. Not only did Gill have to worry about getting his team to be quicker, he also had a big decision on who he wanted to put behind center for the game. His decision ended on Webb. He always felt that Webb had the spunk to be the leader of his offense, but he just didn't know when to pull the trigger with him. Webb stressed that he and his fellow teammates had to pull a 180 with their mindset going into the Georgia Tech game, or it would be a no contest right out of the starting gates. "It wasn't because we didn't feel Webb was ready to play, it was more because the coaching staff and I thought Pick had earned the spot in practices and scrim-mages throughout the week," Gill says. "With some of the things we saw, we felt Webb deserved a chance to start in the Georgia Tech game." For Webb, this was the first start of the season and he was facing Georgia Tech's senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitt. Although Webb knew he had a rigorous task in front of him, he had confidence in himself and his team that they could get the job done. "But we need to stay humble, which shouldn't be too difficult after our week one performance." Webb says. The Hawk's defense prevailed two weeks in a row allowing the offense to have a chance to put up some points to keep them in the game. Agostinho and Terry have done their parts by getting a combined 11 tackles in the two games. Agostinho credits the coaches and the daily tackling circuits in practice for this. In the second half, the offense went out and duplicated its first half performance by putting up two more touchdowns, one of which came in the fourth quarter when Webb threw a 32-yard pass to wide receiver Patterson. This touchdown sealed the deal for the Hawks, proving his first start to be a success. He threw for 179 yards and three touchdowns. With one win under his belt, Webb feels like he may be getting into the swing of things. The Hawks played at Southern Mississippi on Friday. This was their third test, but their first one on the road and their first time being nationally aired on ESPN. The consensus between the players and the coaching staff was that the team needed to not take their opponent lightly. The team knew that the crowd would be a factor, but Webb says that he didn't notice the fans when on the field, only on the sidelines. "I take their chants as an incentive to play better on the field and get the win," Webb said. Although the Hawks lost the game to Southern Mississippi, the team is looking to bounce back yet again after a tough loss and stepping onto the battlefield against New Mexico State on Saturday. As long as the offense can execute and keep up the speed it will have a strong showing against New Mexico State, Webb says. As for the defense, Gill is looking for consistency and he also would love to see some of that passion for football they showed in their first two outings. These freshmen have gone from the high school field to the college stadium in a matter of months. According to Agostinho, the biggest difference between the two is, "Quickness, everything happens so much faster;" but from the looks of it these Hawks are picking up the pace just as Gill had wanted. 96 96 Keba Agostinho PRESIDENT Hometown: Katy, Texas High School: James Taylor HS Height / Weight: 6-3 / 253 Position: Defensive End Experience: HS 10 9 Keeston Terry Hometown: Blue Springs, Mo.

But unlike all the other times, when her right leg came forward and hit the ground, she felt it recoil, giving way underneath her. The junior from El Dorado knew something was wrong. After years of running track and experiencing cramps and aches, she knew this time the pain was different; the sharp sting with each step was much more severe. Two years ago Nightengale joined the team as a runner on scholarship. She imagined the career she'd have as a Jayhawk. She worked with her coaches on a plan to improve and set goals for her running career. Her freshman year and the fall of her sophomore year had been continually hampered by leg injuries and Nightengale was only able to compete in a few races during those seasons. After redshirting for indoor track during the winter because of stress fractures, Nightengale was practicing on the indoor track in Anschutz in February of 2010 and preparing for her first full season when she hurt her leg for the final time. She limped toward the trainers who examined her leg, told her there was nothing they could do and advised her to finish her run. Knowing that was impossible, Nightengale told her coach that she couldn't complete the work out. Unable to move her leg, Nightengale sat there knowing it wasn't a cramp but trying to convince herself it wasn't anything worse. "I was in serious pain all of a sudden," Nightengale says. "There's a difference between hurting and being hurt." All runners experience cramps, all have aches that make it difficult to run the last lap, but few feel the sharp snap that signifies the end of a season or the end of a career. Nightengale says she could immediately tell the difference. The following weeks were some of the hardest of her life, she says. She forced herself to attend class, trying not to cry as she limped from building to building. After she had an MRI Nightengale learned a muscle in her right calf tore away from the bone and she'd sustained a fracture where it was supposed to be attached. Despite the bad news, Nightengale continued meeting with her coach to discuss her future with the team and her future as a runner. They devised a new training regime, focusing on finding a plan to fit her specific needs and to accommodate her individual limits. THE WAVE SEPTEMBER 24, 2010 Four weeks after hearing this news, in March of 2010, Nightengale was told she was medically disqualified from the track THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SWIMMING & DRIVING SWIMMING & DIVING KU Adam Bubler/KANSAN Soohomore Monica Johannessen moved from Norway to swim at the University.

When the sophomore swimmer decided to make the University of Kansas her new home, her first trip to Lawrence was a long journey. The Haugesund, Norway native left her family and friends behind for a chance to study abroad and continue her swimming career. Johannessen committed to the Jayhawks without so much as a recruiting visit to Lawrence. She says the coaches, along with the beautiful campus, made her decision easier. "I just talked to the coaches and they made me really confident. and I just went for it," she said. During her freshman campaign Johannessen placed in numerous events while earning a spot on the senior Norwegian National team. That gave her opportunities to travel home to see family, including her twin sister who also swims. Her favorite event is the 100 meter freestyle, where she boasts a career best time of 49.93 seconds and a first-place finish against Nebraska last season.

With only 10 schools, the league will go to a double round robin schedule — eighteen conference games, with each team playing all the others twice. So no, I'm not happy they're leaving. But, man, I am geeked for basketball next year. I almost wish I could be around one more year to cover it for The Kansan.

BY TIM DWYER There will obviously be bottom feeders — I'm skeptical that new coach Fred Hoiberg can turn around Iowa State and Jeff Capel won't keep getting top-tier talent to Oklahoma if he keeps losing — but there will be seven, eight or nine teams every year that are in serious contention for NCAA Tournament bids. Last year, for example, accord ing to the RPI, there were eight Big 12 teams that ranked above the worst at-large team. top-10 matchup and no games off. If they play each other twice, that's 14 games that are eminently losable for one of those teams. There won't be another undefeated team in the Big 12 because there will be just too much competition. And that will make the games all the sweeter. 4 Edited by Abby Davenport } FEATURE "I have never felt so heartbroken. There's nothing anybody can say that's gong to make you feel better" Laura Nightengale 15 Ocean Explorers team. Nightengale felt the goals she'd spent seven years running toward topple. Even though trainers and other athletes surrounded her, there was nothing any of them could to do to comfort her. "There's nothing anybody can say that's going to make you feel better," Nightengale says. "I have never felt so heartbroken," she says. Nightengale felt lost at KU without the niche she had inhabited for two years. She tried to find a routine that didn't involve the sport she had been competing in since her freshman year of high school. In an effort to take her mind off the life-altering news, she Working with some rescued sea turtles, Nightengale and fellow volunteer Lauren Dragicevich, a student from Sydney, Australia spent their summer on the beaches of Mexico. After discussing her options with her coach, Nightengale decided to become the manager for the track team so that she would be allowed to keep her scholarship. No longer being an athlete left Nightengale feeling like a huge part of her life was missing. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO went to Mexico last summer with Projects Abroad, a volunteering organization. "I wanted to do something that's not related to sports, not related to school, not related to anything or anyone." Nightengale says. Nightengale worked with a wildlife conservation project to ensure baby sea turtles survived until hatching. She patrolled the beach each day, searching for sea turtle eggs among the sand. They pitched their tents along the shoreline and guarded the eggs they'd recovered from predators. For a month, Nightengale dedicated her days and nights to the protection of sea turtles, finally watching as the baby turtles hatched and dug their way from the sand and eventually to the ocean. Although she was still adjusting to a life without track, the experience provided Nightengale with the escape she needed and the reminder that life without track is still a life with goals. When track practice started this fall Nightengale is focusing on school and Nightengale didn't run laps with her teammates and friends. She didn't force her feet forward with visions of crossing the finish line first. She didn't push herself the last mile in the hope of shaving a second from her time. She watched from the side. She watched as other girls ran along the path she had dreamed for herself. working to carve a new path for herself, though she's not entirely sure where it will lead. She still thinks about running every day, but knows that it's not part of who she is anymore. "I think that is hard for a lot of athletes to understand," she says.

Boulevard has teamed with LaFarge to in an attempt to become zero landfill like to see the same level of social pressure put on smokers applied to those who don't recycle. If individuals were forced to think more about recycling — by increasing the number of recycling bins on campus, for example — Gibson said they'd be more likely to do so. Gibson, a graduate student from Prairie Village, had the chance to test her hypothesis at Boulevard Brewing Company on Friday afternoon. With plans to go zero landfill by the end of the year, the Kansas City, Mo., brewing company requested AWMA to perform a waste audit of its facilities. To achieve zero landfill, Boulevard must send minimal to no trash to the landfill. More than 20 volunteers, including seven KU students, sorted two and a half days worth of trash collected from every department at the breery. The volunteers divided the 226 pounds of trash into 17 purple bins labeled as different recyclable and non-recyclable materials. Gibson then recorded the weight and volume of trash in each bin. She recorded that 187.55 pounds, or 83 percent, was food waste and compostable materials, such as napkins and paper plates, from Boulevard's hospitality rooms alone. Gibson, who spent most of the two-hour audit frantically writing notes on her clipboard, will present Boulevard with a final report in October. Laurie Williams, logistics manager for Boulevard, will use the report to determine where to place Gibson and Williams agreed that creating a more conscientious recycling culture at the brewery would be one of the most challenging obstacles to achieving zero landfill. Employees will no longer be allowed to simply throw everything into a trash can. additional recycling bins and how much non-recyclable waste will be diverted to Lafarge North America, a construction materials company. "The ideal thing is to have everybody get on board with it." Williams said. "It's just a learning process." Instead of hauling it to a landfill, Boulevard will ship it to Lafarge's cement plant in Sugar Creek, Mo., located 10 miles northeast of Kansas City. Because cement is made at extremely high temperatures, the plant can burn almost anything as alternative fuel. Kurt Gerdes, education chairman for AWMA's Midwest section, said about half of the plant's fuel comes from alternative fuels such as the non-recyclable waste collected at Boulevard. "You'll get to the point where nobody working here sees trash," Gibson said. "They'll only see energy."

The University has placed the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity under interim suspension - the first University suspension in six years - pending a hazing investigation after a party where a student was life-flighted to the University of Kansas Hospital for head trauma. THE INJURY Matthew Fritzie, a freshman from Stilwell, was life-flighted around 8 p.m. sept. 17 after diving into a temporary pool at the fraternity, also known as FIJJ, 1540 Louisiana St. Lexie Engleman, the Lawrence battalion chief, made the decision to fly the student to Kansas City. She couldn't comment on his condition, but said the injuries were severe enough to require sending him to a level-one trauma hospital. Michael Cray and Ted Peters, sophomores in neighboring Phi Delta Theta, 1621 Edgehill Road, said a group of women was at the FIJJ house during the accident but came over to Phi Delta Theta after. Cray and Peters said they learned from the women that Fritzie came up from the pool struggling and convulsing. They said people helped him out of the water and stabilized his neck before paramedics arrived. Cray and Peters said Fritzie couldn't feel his lower body and arms. "Throughout the night, weheard progressively better statuses," Cray said of Fritzie's condition. Representatives at the University of Kansas Hospital confirmed Fritz's presence there but were unable to comment on his current condition. Friedel's father, who was at the hospital, also declined to comment. THE PARTY Lawrence paramedics arrived at FIU about 8 p.m. and airlifted Fritz soon after. But that didn't stop the fraternity from partying. Koosey Fairbanks, a freshman from Olathe, said she got to the fraternity house about 9:30 p.m. but staved only a short time. She said she was carded when she arrived and overheard at the party that people were being carded because the police had arrived. She said no one at the party was talking about what happened to Fritzie. Ramona Yoder, a freshman from Newton, said she was there from 11 p.m. to FIII house again at 1:30 a.m. "Such violations of human dignity are always taken seriously and confronted immediately by this University."

Boulevard has teamed with LaFarge to in an attempt to become zero landfill. She calls it a classic paradigm shift—when what was once widely accepted in American society became culturally shunned. "It's the attitude," said Gibson, president of the student chapter of the Air and Waste Management Association, or AWMA. "You used to smoke inside and around your kids. Now you'd never do that." Evan Palmer/KANSAN She sees a similar shift happening in the way people perceive recycling, although she admits a change in attitude doesn't necessarily dictate a change in behavior. To accomplish that, Gibson said, the focus must be on reshaping recycling culture. In other words, Gibson would like to see the same level of social pressure put on smokers applied to those who don't recycle.

LOCAL Ex-KU employee faces porn charges A former University employee pled guilty on Monday to charges of sexual exploitation of a child. Several hundred images of child pornography were found on his work computer in 2007, said Charles Branson, Douglas County district attorney. John G.

Branson said although the police discovered the images in 2007,charges were not filed until March 2009 because of the investigation. Wallis could receive probation or up to 11 years in prison and he might be required to register as a sex offender. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 23. He remains out of jail at this time.

Fraternities are required to turn in a PNF for all of their functions, regardless of whether they involve alcohol. The PNF is supposed to include a guest list and account for a sober member who constantly monitors the front door as well as other security measures. If the party involves alcohol, the fraternity is required to turn in the PNF four business days in advance. The guest list and chapter roster are due 48 hours before the event. THE FRATERNITY REACTS On Monday, Sept. 20, three days after Fritzie's injury, the FIJI house issued a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Matthew Fritzie and his family. We are all praying for a full and speedy recovery," it said. "We are investigating the events of the evening and will take appropriate disciplinary action if any of the Fraternity's rules or policies were violated." The international Phi Gamma Delta fraternity released a statement Sept. 25, saying it was also investigating its Kansas chapter. "Phi Gamma Delta International Fraternity shares the University's concerns regarding the allegations of hazing that have been brought forward," the statement said. "The Fraternity has suspended the activities of the chapter pending investigation of the allegations and a decision on any disciplinary action. The Fraternity and involved Phi Gamma Delta alumni have been in regular communication with University representatives and will continue to cooperate with the University." THE SUSPENSION Thursday, Sept. 24, six days after the injury, the University suspended the FIJI house pending an investigation to determine whether hazing was involved. Marlesa Roney, vice provost for Student Success, suspended the fraternity based on University code, according to a press release. "The University absolutely will not tolerate hazing of any kind," Roney said in the release. "Such violations of human dignity are always taken seriously and confronted immediately by this University." Officials from the Office of Student Success will conduct the investigation. "After the accident, we were made aware of allegations of activities that could be construed as hazing," said Jill Jess, spokeswoman for University Relations. Jess declined to comment about how the University was tipped off to the allegations of hazing. A student found guilty of hazing can face up to two years of suspension or at least two years of expulsion. An organization found guilty of hazing can be suspended for up to two years or face removal of organizational registration for at least two years, according to the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Other benefits that the fraternity will not have during the investigation include the ability to request funding from the student activity fee through Student Senate and the official use of University facilities, according to the University's policy on student group registration information. Meanwhile, Jess said the suspension meant the fraternity would not be able to participate in any events such as intramurals as an organization during the investigation. THE PRECEDENT The last time the University suspended a fraternity was in October 2004 when it suspended Kappa Alpha Psi for almost two years after its international fraternity investigated allegations of hazing A University hearing panel, composed of University staff and a student, determined the fraternity had violated the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. The University allowed the fraternity to reapply for the status of a registered organization after those two years, but under several conditions. For example, no current members of Kappa Alpha Psi at the time would be allowed to participate again in the fraternity, even as alumni. It wasn't the most severe penalty the University could have given for Kappa Alpha Psi or for Phi Gamma Delta now — the fraternity's total expulsion from the University is also on the table. Edited by Joel Petterson INTERNATIONAL Drug cartel officer caught in Mexico MEXICO CITY — Mexican soldiers detained the Zetas drug cartel's alleged operations chief for the resort city of Cancun, the army said Sunday. A Defense Department statement said Jose Angel Fernandez is suspected in last month's fire-bombing of a bar that killed eight people. Fernandez, also known as "El Pelon," or "Baldy," allegedly ran an extortion ring for the Zetas and ordered the bar attacked with gasoline bombs because its owner refused to pay protection money. The victims — six women and two men — included employees of the Castillo del Mar, which had a rough reputation and was located far from the hotel zone.

And what if the person she didn't appear to be turned out to be someone else entirely? That situation — with its attendant moral questions, narrative challenges, and headache-inducing implications — is at the heart of "Catfish," a social-media meditation and mystery from first-time filmmakers Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. The movie, which caused a sensation at this year's Sundance Film Festival and is being released by the genre label Rogue Pictures, could become a touchstone for the Facebook age. And it seems certain to stir passionate discussion about the line between fact and fiction: Although its makers have strenuously defended the film as a documentary, skeptics question whether events so remarkable can also be truthful. — a charismatic, slightly goofy 24-year-old who is also the brother of director Ariel — is contacted out of the blue by a woman from Michigan. Her daughter, an 8-year-old art prodigy named Abby, saw a picture that Nev had taken for the New York Sun and was inspired to paint a portrait based on the On the surface, "Catfish" follows a familiar arc, that of an infatuated young man and his crush. New York photographer Nev Schulman photo. Intrigued and impressed with her painting, the wide-eyed Nev responds appreciatively. Soon more artwork begins to arrive in the mail, and Nev starts to learn more about Abby. She is a young girl with artistic chops, but more important for Nev, she has a 19-year-old sister named Megan. Before long, Nev gets to know Megan too and falls for her. For eight months they communicate via e-mail, text message, Facebook and phone (but never meet). Nev. goaded by his brother and Joost, decides to track down Megan. The trio set out for Colorado, where Megan will be visiting a music festival. Their journey detours to Michigan, where Megan and her family live. We'll Rock Your Chalk. What the young men find when they arrive is startling not because it is lurid but because it is raw, unfiltered humanity. In following Megan, "Catfish" morphs into something entirely unexpected: a tearjerker.

SKEPTICISM Chiropractors break the back of honest science In 1895, a grocer and "magnet therapist" in Davenport, Iowa was approached by a deaf man with a strange lump on his spine. The grocer, named Daniel David Palmer, felt the lump and asked the man for permission to "rack his bone back into position". The man agreed, and after a few manipulations of the bump, Palmer heard a pop, restoring his patient's hearing. With that first "adjustment", the practice of chiropractic was born. Palmer theorized that the man's deafness was due to a misalignment of the spine—known to chiropractors as a subluxation—that blocked nerves related to hearing and concluded that all ailments, from the flu to mental illness, were related to subluxations and could be cured by spinal manipulation. While few modern chiropractors adhere closely to Palmer's impossible view, the theory of subluxations continues to play a major role in the practice of most, despite the fact that only a vague and highly tractable definition has been agreed upon by the profession as to what exactly a subluxation is, let alone how to go about treating one. Stephen Barrett, MD, webmaster of quackwatch.com and frequent critic of chiropractics, states that some chiropractors change the qualification for what a subluxation is to adapt to particular cases, while one of his collaborators, William T. Jarvis, co-author of The Health Robbers, writes that treatments for subluxations vary almost as much as the definition with "at least a e, ence Good Science, Bad Science BY ANDREW HOLTZEN aholtzan@kansas.com Without a firm definition of subluxations—the corner stone of most chiropractic—it's not surprising that the efficacy of the practice is non-existent for most conditions. A 2008 critical review in the Journal of Pain and System Management found that the results of several studies "fail to demonstrate that spinal manipulation is effective." The article concluded that "Chiropractors' belief in...subluxation, or spinal manipulation is not rational." The only instance where chiropractic has been proven to be as effective as more conventional methods is in the treatment of lower back pain. In the book "Trick or Treatment", the authors' research finds that "Chiropractors...might compete with physiotherapists in terms of treating some back problems, but all their other claims are beyond belief and can carry a range of significant risks." What exactly are these risks? A systematic review summarized data and found that up to November 2001 there had been around 700 serious complications and 50 deaths attributed to chiropractic, with many due to stroke. As with much of alternative medicine, adherents of chiropractic claim that conventional healthcare is flawed due to a financial incentive shared by doctors, hospitals, and—most ominously—"big pharma" that often causes providers to overlook a patient's needs in pursuit of a quick buck. But, consider this: according to Business Wire, in 2006 U.S. chiropractic was a $7 billion business and consisted of 30,000 firms. While this doesn't begin to compare with the trillion dollar U.S. healthcare industry, it's still very profitable and leads to many of the same problems of conventional medicine. In fact, in 1983 chiropractic manipulation came in as the ninth most frequently billed procedure on Medicare Part B, which begs the question, "How many of those were necessary?" And, popularity of the profession has only grown since then. Although the mainstream healthcare industry is by no means flawless (far from it), the solution certainly doesn't lie in turning one's back on effective techniques and placing faith in the unsubstantiated—and mostly disproven—claims of alternative medicine like chiropractic.

CARTOON student loans MARIAM SAIFAN MARIAM SAIFAN Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week on LETTER TO THE EDITOR Kansan.com — "Beech27" in response to "Cutting organic confusion worth time" on Sept. 22. "There's a very easy way to avoid any concerns about what a given animal may have consumed or been treated with: Don't eat them. I'm not saying everyone (or even anyone) should go full on vegan. However, it is a lot cheaper than buying all organic meats. It's also worth noting that, if you're concerned about animal welfare, organic doesn't really mean a damn thing. But again, I don't want to turn this into a vegan advocacy piece. The point is, if you're concerned about the quality of your diet (and you should be), there are many factors you ought to weigh more heavily than if a given food item is organic." Words have power, and'rape should not be in Free for All Rape is rape. It is not losing in fantasy football or miserably failing a science exam. It is not beating your fraternity brothers in a video game or tripping on the sidewalk. Rape is the crime of forcing another person to commit a sexual act. Rape is a real fear for probably every female on this campus. It is not a topic to be taken lightly. That is why it appalls me to open up the Free For All and find the comment, "I'm getting raped in fantasy football this week." Ask a survivor how it felt to be raped, and I doubt she will respond with, "You know when you don't know any of the answers on the chemistry exam...?" Rape is a painful, traumatic experience with real, lifelong consequences. Survivors are faced with countless psychological afflictions, not to mention the everyday fear and anxiety of living in a world you no longer trust. It is an ordeal that takes years of therapy to overcome. Unless you were literally assaulted by your fellow groupies, you were not raped in fantasy football this week. Perhaps you lost hideously, but you were not raped. And no, you were not raped by that chemistry exam. Perhaps you should study more next time, but you were not raped. You lost. You failed. But you were not by any means raped. - Jacqueline Hieber is a senior from Bridgewater, Virginia, in psychology LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dean's accomplishments should be the main focus I would like to provide my views on the article in the UDK on Wednesday, Sept. 22 titled "Business School dean announces June resignation." I am the Audit Partner in charge of the Deloitte Missouri Audit practice and am an alumnus of KU. I am currently on the KUEA Board of Trustees, the KU Alumni Association National Board and Executive Committee, the Business School Board of Advisors including Executive Committee and Past Chair, the AIS Area Board Council including Executive Committee and Past Chair, and a member of the KU Organizing Committee for our next capital campaign. I also served as a member of the Business School Differential Tuition Committee. I strongly disagree with the assertions made by certain MBA students in the article. As a member of the differential tuition committee, our intention was to combine scholarship funds with work study programs which we believed were critical to student success. It should be noted that the funding provided for students through scholarships and work opportunities has increased at a higher rate than differential tuition. It would also be useful for students to understand that differential tuition added five majors to the school, allowed tenured faculty to grow by 30 percent and has resulted in student enrollment growth of 20 percent. While it was the differential tuition committee's view that there was to be student oversight of the use of funds, and I understand that the committee needs to be functioning again. I feel it grossly unfair to characterize Dean Bill Fuerst's tenure as dean as lacking transparency. As a member of the Board of Advisors and executive committee and chair, we have had nothing other than very transparent and open communication with the Dean about the school's activities and progress. Dean Bill Fuerst has accomplished a tremendous amount for the School of Business and will leave some big shoes to fill. We owe Dean Fuerst our gratitude for launching this Business School into competitiveness with other top business schools in the country and for helping make it a school from which we can recruit top students who effectively compete against any business school in the country. Dean Fuerst has not only positioned every student in the business school for future success, but has enhanced the value of every KU business degree granted. I support the Chancellor's remarks in the article, and hope that all KU Business School students share my sense of enthusiasm and pride in the accomplishments of this business school. It's a shame that the efforts of a few are trying to cloud the tremendous accomplishments of many. Howard Cohen is a School of Business alumnus. GUEST COLUMN New health law provisions begin making care better Six months ago this week, Congress passed the federal health reform law, the Affordable Care Act. But with all the political wrangling, it was sometimes hard to tell what the law actually does. Last Thursday, we began to experience what is really in this bill, as the first set of key reforms took effect, delivering consumers real protections in the health insurance marketplace. Despite the varied rhetoric coming from Washington, D.C., both for and against reform, Hoosiers can begin to breathe easier about their health coverage. For many, affordable coverage is finally within reach. Here's a rundown of what started Thursday: First of all, young people are now eligible to stay on their parents' health insurance plans until the age of 26. Given that young people make up the largest demographic of the nation's uninsured population, this provision is a huge step toward expanding coverage and making it affordable for young people and their families. Furthermore, insurance companies can no longer drop your coverage when you get seriously ill, and you have a right to appeal any decisions by your insurance company that could affect the availability of your coverage. You can rest easy knowing your coverage will be there when you need it most. Starting today, patients won't have to pay out-of-pocket for preventive care on all new health insurance plans. Now when you want to protect yourself with preventive measures like a physical or a flu shot, you won't experience any co-pays or deductible costs on any new plan. Small business owners will receive tax credits to help cover the cost of providing health insurance to their employees. This is another new provision that will enable you to count on your insurance being there when you need it most. From this day forward, no insurance company can deny coverage to a child because of a pre-existing condition. Any child younger than 19 will not suffer discrimination by insurance companies on the basis of an existing illness. And starting in 2014, the same will be true for all people. After all the wrangling and rhetoric, national health care reform is beginning to deliver on its promise. That's something we can all take a minute to celebrate. From UWIRE.

"I feel like David against Goliath. But I got five rocks, and I haven't thrown one yet," Long said in his first public remarks since his accusers filed lawsuits last week claiming he abused the "spiritual authority." He stopped short of denying the allegations but implied he was wronged by them. "I have never in my life portrayed myself as a perfect man. But I am not the man that's being portrayed on the television. That's not me. That is not me," he said. Long's brief addresses to the congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church were met with thunderous applause and an outpouring of support during services that were equal parts part rock concert and pep rally. The sanctuary was nearly filled to its 10,000-seat capacity for both the 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. services. Many lined up two hours before the doors of the church opened. Long became one of the country's most powerful independent church leaders over the last 20 years, turning a suburban Atlanta congregation of 150 to a 25,000-member powerhouse with a $50 million ca thedral and a roster of parishioners that includes athletes, entertainers and politicians. And there was almost no sign Sunday that his flock wanted to turn him away. Followers prayed, sang and embraced one another as they rallied around their senior pastor. Wearing a cream-colored suit as he strode into the church sanctuary hand-in-hand with his wife, Vanessa, Long paused to soak in the adoration. During the second service, however, one young man in a blue shirt stood up and shouted: "We want to know the truth, man!" He was quickly escorted out and did not return. After the service, many expressed unwavering support for their leader.

Visit us at www.kublooddrive.com It is unclear whether Long faces any risk of being removed by his church's board, but the allegations at the very least guarantee months of scrutiny as the lawsuits move forward. Long is a father of four who has been an outspoken opponent of gay marriage and whose church has counseled gay members to become straight.

We are not exempt from pain, but (God) promises to deliver us out of our pain." The men say they were 17 or 18 when the relationships began. Federal and state authorities have declined to investigate because Georgia's age of consent is 16. "I've been accused. I'm under attack. I want you to know, as I said earlier, I am not a perfect man," Long said. "But this thing, I'm going to fight." "I feel like David against Goliath. But I got five rocks, and I haven't thrown one yet." church in Charlotte, N.C. — have similar claims. Cheryl Barnett, who has attended New Birth since Long became senior pastor more than 20 years ago, said she was "very much fulfilled with what he had to say." Long did not address the allegations directly but spoke at length about enduring painful times. He used the word "painful" nearly 20 times. The term "difficult" came up seven times. "It was simple. It was direct. He's standing in the scriptures. That's what we would expect from our minister," she said. "We are all subject to face distasteful and painful situations. Bishop Long, Eddie Long — you can put your name in that blank — will have some bad situations." Long addressed the media briefly during a press conference between services, but media access to the services themselves was tightly controlled. Reporters were required to check in with church officials and were led to a separate part of the church to view the service. The media was also told not to interview church members inside the sanctuary or on EDDIE LONG Bishop church property. After Long's remarks during the 8 a.m. service, an Associated Press reporter was escorted out of the sanctuary by church officials who said the press were not allowed in the sanctuary during worship. Members clapped and swayed in their seats as the first service began, with several people with microphones singing on stage. Later in the service, hundreds began dancing and chanting, "Jesus, Jesus." A small group of young people held Apple iPads high over their heads, with the screens scrolling white letters against a black background reading, "It's time to praise him." As Long entered the cathedral, a group of people shouted, "We love you bishop!" AIR GUARD These days, it pays to have someone watching your back.

The performer fought back, even breaking a few fingers on his attacker's hand. WINTER PARK, Fla. — Elmo was not tickled — he was in a tussle. Police haven't released the names of either man. Officers broke up the fight and took the attacker to the hospital, where he was treated and detained for a mental health evaluation. Police say Elmo was unhurt, and that no children saw the fight. The fight broke out around 3 p.m. The costumed man had been hired to perform as Elmo at a children's event at Guitar Center, but police say the attacker began throwing punches at Elmo. Woman steals car drives handcuffed PORT ARTHUR, Texas — A handcuffed woman was accused of swiping a Port Arthur police car and leading officers on a chase at speeds topping 100 mph. Police Chief Mark Blanton told KFDM-TV that nobody was injured in Friday's chase involving a woman arrested on a trespassing charge at the Port Arthur campus of Lamar State College. Blanton said a witness told police that the woman managed to slide open the prisoner screen that separates the front and rear areas of the patrol car, crawling from the rear seat into the driver's seat. The officer was outside the running vehicle, completing his investigation. The chase lasted about 10 miles on Highway 69 until the patrol car's tires were shredded by spike strips thrown on the road by other officers. Port Arthur is 80 miles east of Houston. It's become a costly problem. County Manager Luther Smart says the area is paying $17,000 a year to replace the signs. DARIEN, Ga. — A rural Georgia county is losing about 550 street signs a years to thieves and a commissioner says he has a solution: Make the names boring.

Mcntosh County Commissioner Mark Douglas serves a rural county about 60 miles south of Savannah. He says signs marking Green Acres, Boone's Farm and Mary Jane Lane are frequently stolen. He suspects the thieves are targeting those signs because they share names with a popular TV series, a low-cost wine or, in the third case, a slang term for marijuana.

On Sept. 16 Cheyenne police went to Brian Mattert's house on a domestic violence call.

"I definitely looked up to Reggie Bush when I was younger, but I really can't model myself as anybody right now." Beshears said. "I'm just me." While Beshears led the team with three total touchdowns, freshman running back James Sims dominated on the ground with 115 yards and two rushing touchdowns of his own. In all, the running game accounted for 243 of the layhawks' 501 total yards of offense. Coach Turner Gill praised the individual performances of his offensive skill players but deferred credit to a developing offensive line that allowed no sacks for the first time this season.

SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 4B SOCCER Weekend is an upset with two losses KANGA 5 10 BY MIKE LAVIERI mlavieri@kansan.com The soccer team lost both games in the opening weekend of conference play. The ball bounced the wrong way in the Border Showdown on Friday night, as the Jayhawks lost to Missouri (3-4-2 overall, 1-0 Big 12) 4-1, in a game that was dominated by the Tigers from the very start. Senior forward Kaitlyn Cunningham, who was playing in her last Border Showdown, got the Jayhawks on the board first in the fifth minute when she took a pass from junior forward Kelsey Clifton and shot it into the bottom left corner. Junior forward Kortney Clifton dribbles the ball against Missouri on Friday. Clifton led the Jayhawks with three shots for the game. Missouri's goal came from the Tigers working the ball around with six different players touching the ball before Collins put the ball in a wide-open goal. "I thought we had the momentum, but they came back and scored and we lost the momentum from there," Cunningham said. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN Kansas' loss in momentum was to Missouri's advantage. The Tigers outshot the Jayhawks 25-6 and were more physical than Kansas. The Tigers had 19 fouls to the Jayhawks 11. "They are very direct, and we like to keep the ball on the ground and play," Cunningham said. "So, when the ball in the air for half of the game, it's hard to do that." Kruse gave Missouri the lead for good in the 63rd minute on an assist from junior defender Mallory Stipetich. Junior forward Kendra Collins tied the game up in the 15th minute on a pass from senior midfielder Krista Kruse. Missouri's record is not an accurate reflection of how good the team is. The Tigers started the season with five road games, going 0-3-2. Three of their losses, which were on the road, were to ACC opponents No. 8 Maryland, No. 14 Duke and No. 1 North Carolina. The Tigers added insurance goals in the 74th minute when freshman midfielder Dominique Richardson tapped in a corner kick and the 81st minute when freshman forward Alysia Diggs was assisted by freshman midfielder Danielle Nottingham. While this is the last Border Showdown game for the seniors, unless the teams meet again in the Big 12 Tournament, it was the first for the freshmen. "We always play them our last game, so it's a little different this time," Hillis said. "Since it's our first, it's a littler tougher." The Jayhawks then traveled to Ames, Iowa to face Iowa State (6-32, 1-0), who was playing its first conference game of season.

Freshman defender Jessica Stewart scored the game winner and 10 minutes later, in the 59th minute, freshman midfielder Emily Goldstein added the second goal. Freshman forward Jennifer Dominguez assisted both goals. Edited by Anna Nordling COMMENTARY Offense is finally paying dividends BY COREY THIBODEAUX cthibodeaux@kansan.com When you feel worse after practice than you do after actual games, it's got to amount to something at some point. You don't have to tell the Jayhawks their offense stunk the first couple weeks of the season. The result was reps and reps, followed by more reps. Senior receiver Johnathan Wilson wasn't candid about his constant blocking and catching drills. "I'm not going to lie to you," he said. "Practice has been hard for the last couple weeks. It's way harder than the games." Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb stretched the field on multiple occasions and that helped open up gaping holes in the running game. The Jayhawks threw the ball for 264 yards and ran the ball for 237 — parity coaches dream of. With 501 yards of offense in the 42-16 romping of New Mexico State, it seemed to have worked. The Kansas offense looked wide open as opposed to the constricted dink-and-dunk style it showed earlier this season. "We want to have that balance," coach Turner Gill said, and"I think we are headed in the right direction." The Jayhawks gashed the Aggies on hand-offs, deep passes, screens and even on kick returns. They could do no wrong. The question is if this type of offense is going to stick. This is the first we've seen of it and with Big 12 play coming up, Saturday's explosion could have been the outlier. Then again, the beginning of the season held a whole new coaching staff and most of the position players on offense were new as well. It takes a few games to gel, if not more. Notice how the defense looked solid even in the first game. There are plenty of upperclassmen at the skill positions, so they've had an easier transition. It helped on the offensive side that New Mexico State wasn't at the same level as Big 12 teams, but the Jayhawks should be enjoying this regardless. Without looking ahead, the Kansas offense is right where it wants to be heading into conference play. "We were just feeling each other out," Wilson said. "I think we're starting to mesh better now" Wilson said he was frustrated at times for not having the opportunity to make plays because of the contained offensive approach. With the aggressive play calling, Wilson was one of four receivers with a reception that went for more than 30 yards against New Mexico State. From an offensive standpoint, Saturday was as exciting as it can get for the layhawks. "It's a different offense," Wilson said.

There's no denying the talent they put on the court, but they're not an elite team. The New Jersey Nets will move to Brooklyn, where Anthony was born, in a couple years. The new owner of the Nets, Mikhail Prokov, won't be as shy in shelling out money to surround Anthony with more top-tier talent, enough to challenge the NBA's evil empire in Miami. THE MORNING BREW For my Nuggets, the compensation is plentiful. Derrick Favors, Andrei Kirilenko and multiple first-round draft picks will be enough to rebuild a Denver squad with a couple pieces already in place. But just as Kansas fans will always think of Carmelo Anthony as LaLa Vasquez's husband and don't recognize his existence in the basketball world, I'll always see 'Melo as a Nugget. Edited by Anna Nordling COLLEGE FOOTBALL Nevada back in AP poll,ranked 25 ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — The only previous time Nevada was ranked in the AP Top 25, the Wolf Pack ended the season playing in the Harbor Bowl in San Diego. That was 1948. It took 62 years, but Nevada is back in The Associated Press poll. The Wolf Pack were No. 25 in the poll released Sunday and are off to a 4-0 start for the first time since 1991, the year before they jumped from I-AA to I-A. "It's very exciting news," coach Chris Ault told the AP in a telephone interview Sunday. "I'm sure our players will be fired up." The first month of the season closed with the preseason top three in the rankings unchanged: Alabama is No.1, followed by Ohio State and Boise State. The Crimson Tide had its toughest challenge yet Saturday, coming from behind to beat Arkansas 24-20. The road victory helped the Tide gain five first-place votes to 57. Ohio State, which rolled to a 73-20 victory against Eastern Michigan, received two first-place votes and Boise State, which beat Oregon State 37-24, received one. No. 4 Oregon and No. 5 TCU flip-flopped spots this week. No. 6 Nebraska held its position and No. 7 Florida moved up two heading into its big game at Alabama on The USA Today coaches' poll has the same top three teams. Saturday. No. 8 Oklahoma was followed by Stanford, which jumped seven spots to No. 9 and No.10 Auburn, which also gained seven spots. The Cardinals are 4-0 for the first time since 1986 after beating Notre Dame 37-14, and have their best AP ranking since ending the 1992 season No. 9. No. 21 Texas dropped 14 spots after a stunningly lopsided 34-12 home loss to UCLA. West Virginia and Oregon State dropped out of the rankings. No. 23 North Carolina State (4-0), off to its best start since 2002, was the other Wolfpack to move into the poll this week. N.C.State is ranked for the first time since 2003. As for the Wolf Pack from Reno, Ault, who was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2002 — after the second time he stepped down as Nevada coach — is in his third stint leading his alma mater. The 63-yearold is 210-96-1 in 26 seasons with no plans to leave again anytime soon. He put a new spin on the shotgun-spread offense and came up with the pistol. In the pistol, the quarterback lines up in a short shotgun, a few yards behind center, and a tailback lines up behind the quarterback. The Wolf Pack have emerged as Boise State's tough rival in the Western Athletic Conference in recent seasons using an offense Ault invented in 2005. directing the pistol, Nevada has had one of the most potent offenses in the country in recent seasons. "He's been our starter for $3 \frac{1}{2}$ years and that experience you can't say enough about it, especially in our offense, which is fairly sophisticated," Ault said. The Wolf Pack have averaged more than 33 points per game each of the last five seasons, and are at 44.8 heading into October. The difference this season is Nevada is allowing only 18 points per game, with nonconference victories at home against California (52-31) and at BYU (27-13) on Saturday. "We are playing better defense," Ault said. "These last two years we were average at best on defense and it put so much pressure on offense to be productive. "We're getting better every game and giving our offense more opportunities." With dual-threat quarterback Colin Kaepernick Nevada plays at rival UNLV on Saturday, then moves into its WAC schedule. Way down the road, the Wolf Pack hosts No. 3 Boise State on Nov. 26 in what could be one of the biggest WA games ever. Both teams are not long for the WAC, though. Boise State is leaving for the Mountain West Conference after this season. Nevada has also accepted an invite to the MWC, though when the Wolf Pack will make the change is up in the air. Nevada would like it to be next season, but the WAC insists the Pack can't go until 2012. As for the rest of the AP poll this week, Wisconsin was No.11, followed by LSU, APTOP25 No. 1 Alabama No. 2 Ohio State No. 3 Boise State No. 4 Oregon No. 5 TCU No. 6 Nebraska No. 7 Florida No. 8 Oklahoma No. 9 Stanford No. 10 Auburn No. 11 Wisconsin No. 12 LSU No. 13 Utah No. 14 Arizona No. 15 Arkansas No. 16 Miami No. 17 Iowa No. 18 Southern California No. 19 South Carolina No. 20 Michigan No. 21 Texas No. 22 Penn State No. 23 North Carolina State No. 24 Michigan State No. 25 University of Utah, Arizona and Arkansas, which dropped five spots to No. 15.The rest of the top 20 was Miami, Iowa, SouthernCalifornia, South Carolina and Michigan. Joining Texas, N.C. State and Nevada in the final five were No. 22 Penn State and No. 24 Michigan State.

Edited by Tim Dwyer MLB Missed chances cost Braves ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) — The Atlanta Braves' drive for the NL wild card spun its wheels again Sunday, with wild pitchers and missed opportunities at the plate contributing to a 4-2 loss to the last-place Washington Nationals. Every Nationals player who scored got on base with a walk, the last two runs coming on Ian Desmond's tiebreaking single in the seventh that followed three straight free passes from the Braves bullpen. The Nationals took two of three from the Braves, who began the day tied with San Francisco for the wild-card lead. The Giants beat Colorado 4-2 to move into a tie with San Diego for the NL West lead, pending the outcome of the Padres' game against Cincinnati later Sunday. Atlanta has lost five of six. The Braves, who lost the season series 10-8 to the Nationals, now head home to finish up with a six-game stand against Florida and Philadelphia. The Braves put two runners on base with fewer than two outs three times in the first six innings and failed to score each time. Rick Ankiel was the only Atlanta batter to produce runs, leading off the fifth with a home run and a doubling home Melky Cabrera with no out to make it 2-all in the seventh. Ankiel never budged from second after that hit, watching his teammates strike out twice and then ground out to end the inning. Brandon Beachy, making his second career start, struck out nine over five innings to keep the Braves in the game. But the right-hander, who is playing a major role in a critical part of the season because Jair Jurrijens has a sore right knee, also walked three batters — and two of them turned out to be the only two runs he allowed. Kyle Farnsworth (0-2) was even more off course, walking two of the four batters he faced. He entered in the seventh and got a pair of quick outs before walking Willie Harris and Danny Espinosa. Farnsworth was relieved by Jon Ventors, who promptly threw four straight balls to Nyjer Morgan to load the bases. Desmond then singled to center to put the Nationals ahead for good. YOUR #1 785.838.3399 HIBACHI SPOT IN LAWRENCE across from Dillians on 6th Cowboys win first of year against undefeated Texans ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — Jerry Jones can exhale, at least for now. So can Wade Phillips. But Williams and Dez Bryant caught third-down passes from Romo to get Dallas moving. Miles Austin beat Brice McCain on a 17-yard reception to the Texans 1, and Barber scored on the next play, the Cowboys' first touchdown rushing this season. Ware sacked Schaub again with less than two minutes left in the half. Buehler put Dallas up Tony Romo threw two touchdown passes to Roy Williams, Marion Barber ran for another score, and the Dallas Cowboys got their first win by beating the Houston Texans 27-13 on Sunday. Romo threw a 32-yard pass to Felix Jones on the Cowboys' next snap, but it was negated by an illegal block, exactly the kind of mistake that plagued Dallas in its first two games. 10-3 with a 49-yard field goal; he missed shorter attempts in each of the first two games. Dallas now heads into an early bye week with a victory to build The announced crowd was 71,456, a record for a Texans game at Reliant Stadium. But Dallas supporters were well-represented and taunted the hometown fans with "Let's Go, Cowboys!" chant in the waning minutes. Arian Foster, the NFL's leading rusher, ran for 106 yards on 17 carries for the Texans (2-1), who were eager to knock off the Cowboys for reasons beyond earning the franchise's first 3-0 start. Romo went 23 for 30 for 284 yards, Williams caught five passes for 117 yards and the Cowboys (1-2) finally turned in a dominant performance after starting 0-2 for the first time since 2001. Johnson, who sprained his right ankle in last week's win over Washington, aggravated the injury early in the third quarter. He caught a short pass from Schaub, then fell awkwardly after he was tackled by Orlando Scandrick. On the 'Texans' second series, Foster converted a third down with a 20-yard run and Johnson gained 24 more yards to the Dallas 6. The Cowboys' defense stopped Houston there, and Neil Rackers kicked a 24-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. Foster went over 100 yards rushing with a 26-yard run late in the third quarter. The undrafted free agent has topped 100 yards rushing in three of his four career starts. Houston looked ready to get much closer when it reached the Dallas 1. But the Cowboys twice stopped Foster at the line, and Keith Brooking sacked Schaub on third down, forcing Houston to settle for another short field goal. Romo then went to work on the Texans' suspect secondary, which allowed more than 400 yards passing in each of the first two games. Bryant caught a 30-yard pass down the sideline, and one play later, Williams pulled down a 15-yard touchdown catch over McCain for a 17-3 lead. Ware set the tone on Houston's first series, surging past left tackle Rashad Butler and sacked Schaub. Butler, a five-year veteran, was making his first career start in place of Duane Brown, who began serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's banned substance policy. Brown had started the last 34 games. Trainers helped Johnson hobble off the field, but he returned for Houston's next series. Schaub threw a deep pass to him that Mike Jenkins intercepted at the 10-yard line for the Cowboys' first takeaway of the season. The Cowboys' defense got its first three takeaways of the season and held Houston's top-ranked offense to 340 yards. DeMarcus Ware sacked Matt Schaub three times, and the Dallas secondary limited All-Pro receiver Andre Johnson to four catches for 64 yards. ASSOCIATED PRESS MLB CLEVELAND — Pinch-hitter Michael Brantley's two-run double capped a five-run rally in the eighth inning that carried the Cleveland Indians to a 5-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

Dorsey, who made three tackles in Saturday's game, said he was happy with the performance that earned them a home victory even though they have yet to make a sack so far this season. "I know we have not had a sack yet, that is our goal to get sacks, but other than that I feel we have played pretty good" Dorsey said. "Especially with conference play coming up, we need to get sacks and pressure on the quarterback." Though the defensive line hasn't had a sack yet this season, New Mexico State quarterback Matt Christian still felt the line's pressure. 您正在使用电脑，你可以设置您的桌面。 Christian hurt his finger midway through the first quarter on a running play that ended when he fumbled the ball. The combination of his injury, the weather and the strong defensive performance may have affected Christian's 60 percent passing game that pressure. "They were big and could hit," Christian said. "Our scheme was there, we just couldn't execute to keep ourselves in the game." gained 147 yards for the Aggies offense. Senior linebackers Justin Springer and Steven Johnson and senior cornerback Chris Harris were among the Jayhawks' top tacklers, with 24 tackles among them. Springer contributed with eight tackles, but emphasized the team's effort in successfully tightening the straps on the opposing offense. ening the straps on the opposing team. "We wanted to come out and get a three-and-out off the bat," Springer said. "We wanted to show them that we were excited and that they would have to work harder on the ball with us." The defensive line achieved that goal, not allowing the Aggies to find their offensive rhythm and get significant points on the board, but Springer said that might not be enough as the team enters conference play next week. "We've come a long way, but at the same time we're still inconsistent," Springer said. - Edited by Tim Dwyer FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B) "I take our hats off to him but more importantly to our offensive line. They did some great things here today. It is great to see our guys gel and do some execution." The Jayhawks' (2-2) first score came on a three play, 88-yard drive in the first quarter led by two seniors. On their own 12-yard line, senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson pulled in a 36-yard pass from freshman quarterback Jordan Webb. On the next play, senior running back Angus Quigley took a screen pass 43 yards to the Aggies 10-yard line. Beshears punched it in from there for his first career touchdown. The Aggies (0-3) answered back on their next possession on a one-yard touchdown run by senior Seth Smith. The scoring drive was made possible by a Jayhawk kickoff coverage team that allowed four kickoff returns of forty or more yards, this time a 51-yard return to the Kansas 49-yard line. Gill is still concerned about the performance of his special teams unit, which struggled mightily last week against Southern Miss. "I think that is the only phase where we didn't do very well," Gill said. "We had not done very well the whole football season, but unfortunately some of it started with our kicker." "I have to give all the credit to my blockers on the kickoff return team," Beshears In addition to his two touchdowns on the ground, Beshears also scored on a kickoff immediately after the Aggies tied the game 7-7 early in the second quarter. The 96-yard scamper was the eighth longest in school history. said. "I told them, 'Go out there and make good blocks and I'm going to take it to the house.'" house. With the win, the Jayhawks assured themselves of an even non-conference schedule as they head into Big 12 play next week at Baylor. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb, who finished 17-for-27 with 249 yards passing and a touchdown, is relieved Beeshars broke out of his shell and had the kind of performance his offensive teammates knew he had in him. "We've wanted to all along," Webb said of getting the ball in Beshears' hands. "He's electric with the ball in his hands. He's a physical guy, he's fast and he wants to get to the end zone every time he touches it."

Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN 21 Ben Pirotte/KANSAN FAMILY Above, freshman quarterback Jordan Webb blocks a New Mexico State defender Saturday, Sept. 25.

Left, junior wide receiver Daymond Patterson avoids a tackle during the third quarter. Patterson recorded six receptions for 40 yards in the 42-16 victory over New Mexico State Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. Ben Pirotte/KANSAM Quote of the Game "It's an awesome feeling. Obviously, I won't be very sore tomorrow. The O-line just played great, communication was really good, our tempo was good and overall it was just an execution thing." —Jordan Webb, on not being sacked for the first time this season Webb 3. Senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson: If the Jayhawks are to open up their vertical passing game, they will need to do so through Wilson. Wilson had a 35 yard reception after a long touchdown catch last week against Southern Miss. It looks as if Webb is more comfortable with some of the younger receivers, but Wilson is still the receiving corps' biggest down-field threat. 2. Freshman running back James Sims: With his 16 carry, 115 yard performance, Sims became the first freshman running back to gain more than 100 yards on two separate occasions since 2002. Not bad for a guy who was carrying the load for MacArthur High School at this time last year. 1. Sophomore wide receiver/running back D.J. Beshears: Call him a running back, a wide receiver, or a kick returner, but one thing is for sure: offensive coordinator will be calling his number much more for the rest of this season. Beshears had three touchdowns, two on rushes and one on a kickoff return. The speedy sophomore looks rejuvenated on offense and should remind Kansas City Chiefs fans of a more unpolished version of Dexter McCluster. Delay of Games 3. Freshman running back Deshaun Sands: Sands struggled Saturday, gaining only 38 yards on 11 carries (3.4 average). Coach Turner Gill showed a lot of faith in the second-generation Jayhawk by making him the backup over sixth-year senior captain Angus Quigley. 2. Senior defensive end Jake Laptad: You have to feel for the team captain Laptad who has been double teamed all season. However, he only recorded three total tackles, one solo, in Saturday's win. He is drawing a lot of attention from opposing defenses but he must be more disruptive going forward. 1. Kansas kickoff coverage squad: The special teams group looked lost once again, allowing four kickoff returns of 40 yards or more. New Mexico State kick returner Tanner Rust set a school record with 250 total return yards. The Jayhawks' defense looked impressive but surrendered 16 points because of the short fields the Aqgies had to work with. Play of the Game The Aggies had their way with the Kansas defense on their second possession early in the second quarter, tying the game 7-7. It seemed like the game was headed for a shootout before Beshears got the ball in his hands. But the former defensive backup made magic happen, scoring on a 96-yard kickoff return and putting the Jayhawks back up seven. It was excellent blocking and great vision in a rare flash of brilliance from the Jayhawks special teams unit. Game Notes THE GLASS IS HALF FULL ... Two sophomores and one freshman looked like offensive veterans. Sure, the transition to a run-first offense had its bumps in the road, but it looks to be running on all cylinders as the team enters Big 12 play. Wilson was right when he compared Beshears to Reggie Bush in his post-game interviews. THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY ... BIGGEST ANSWER It was New Mexico State, one of the worst teams in college football. The Aggies have allowed at least 40 points in every game this season and Saturday was no different. About the only good unit the Aggies have is their offensive line, and when the Kansas defense tried to bring pressure, they could not break them. With 12 sacks allowed through three games, all eyes were on the offensive line against an admittedly poor New Mexico State defense. And thankfully for Webb, they answered all questions about their cohesiveness. Webb remained upright all game and the Kansas offense broke the 500-yard mark. It will not mean much when Big 12 play begins, but it was a step in the right direction for a seasoned but unproven line. STILL QUESTIONING How does Quigley fit into this offense? In his one touch on the evening, the elder statesman took a screen pass 43 yards in the longest reception for either team. Quigley stood on the sidelines for most of the remainder of the game. Gill clearly wants young blood in the backfield, and rightfully so, but Quigley has earned more touches. LOOKING AHEAD The Jayhawks open Big 12 play on Saturday on the road against the Baylor Bears. The Bears have perhaps the best quarterback in the league in sophomore Robert Griffin, who simmered Rice on Saturday on 20-for-28 passing with 268 yards and three touchdowns in a 30-13 rout. If senior defensive end Jake Laptad and his front line teammates continue struggling to get pressure, it could be a long day for the Jayhawks. GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID Original prediction: Kansas 45, New Mexico State 10. Final score: Kansas 42, New Mexico State 16. Other than a few garbage-time field goals, our original prediction was spot on. Finally, the unpredictable Jayhawks actually conformed to expectations and hammered their much less talented foe. FINAL THOUGHT... sure, New Mexico State is a BCS bottom-feeder, but it feels good to dominate an opponent for the first time this season. The offense seems to be clicking behind their dynamic, speedy running backs, but there are still plenty of questions going into Big 12 play. The defensive line has got to start pressuring the quarterback. The special teams need to start carrying their weight, especially on kick and punt coverage. This team is still a work in progress, but against the Aggies, the Jayhawks got a pick-me-up at just the right time. - Matt Galloway Schedule Date Opponent Result/Time 9/4 vs. North Dakota State L, 6-3 9/11 vs. Georgia Tech W, 28-6 09/17 at Southern Miss 7 p.m. 09/25 vs. New Mexico State 6 p.m. 10/02 at Baylor TBA 10/14 vs. Kansas State 6:30 p.m. 10/23 vs. Texas A&M (Homecoming) TBA 10/30 at Iowa State TBA 11/06 vs. Colorado TBA 11/13 at Nebraska TBA 11/20 vs. Oklahoma State TBA 11/27 vs. Missouri TBA 6B SPORTS / MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM VOLLEYBALL ) Jayhawks lose match after five sets BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield reached a season-high on Saturday night with 20 kills as the volleyball team pushed a match at Colorado into a fifth set. But the Jayhawks still couldn't hold off the Buffaloes. Mayfield said that she and junior setter Nicole Tate have played together for three years. "I was just getting a lot of good sets from Nicole, just getting up there and taking swings," she said. "She's good at keeping the team level-headed. She did great." After dropping both of the first two sets, Kansas battled back to tie the match 2-2. Mayfield said the team did a good job of reducing errors in the third and fourth sets, but that Colorado played well overall. "We just let them get on a run at times," she said. In the final set, Colorado slipped past the layhawks making this the second road game the layhawks have dropped this week, after losing at Nebraska on Wednesday. Each of their conference losses have Mrs. Field Mayfield gone to fourth or fifth sets. Kansas is now carrying a 10-5 record overall and is 1-3 in conference play. Colorado broke even at 5-5 overall and 2-2 in the big 12. Coach Ray Bechard said that not a lot went well in the first two sets, and that being behind by two sets on the road is a bad position. "We didn't make enough plays," he said. "Their pass and serve was more effective than ours." Kansas defense put up good numbers from the beginning, but it wasn't enough to win the match. In the first set, the Jayhawks had 17 digs compared with the Buffaloes' eight, but still lost the set. Over the course of the match, freshman libero Brianne Riley led Kansas with a career-best of 24 digs. Sophomore defensive specialist Morgan Boub POLYTECHNICIAN Tate senior defensive specialist Melissa Manda and junior setter Nicole Tate also contributed 10, 12 and 16 digs, respectively. Freshman middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc chipped in seven blocks, and Tate tied her career-high with five. Boub said that the Jayhawks struggled in the first two sets, but rallied in the third. "We came back in the third game. We came back and got our energy up," she said. Kansas took a 9-5 lead in the third set with a seven point run, going on to win it 25-13 with the benefit of 10 Colorado errors. The fourth set was closer, with Kansas down one point. The Jayhawks came out of a timeout and rallied with four straight points as Mayfield scored two kills together with one from Jarmoc and the help of another Colorado error. Mayfield closed out the set with her seventh kill of the frame. But the Buffalooes won the fifth set by two points. Boob said that in practice she would focus personally on paying more attention to detail. "We just needed to play better," she said. "I'm going to think about what I can do and not take the little things for granted." The layhawks will be back at home for a Border Showdown with Missouri at 6:30 Wednesday night at the Horeisi Family Athletics Center. The match will be televised on Metro Sports, channel 37, on Sunflower Broadband in Lawrence. Edited by Kelsey Nill NFL Seahawks make errors, beat Chargers ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE — With a metal rod in his right leg, Leon Washington was deemed expendable in New York. Sunday, he was invaluable in Seattle. Washington made up for a Seattle slew of mistakes and missed chances, returning second-half kickoffs 101 and 99 yards for touchdowns, and the Seahawks held off Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers 27-20 on Sunday. Pete Carroll's crew is now a surprising 2-1 and tied at the top of the mediocre NFC West. And Washington looks like a colossal steal after Seattle grabbed the versatile back from the Jets for a fifth-round pick during April's draft. Seattle led 10-0 at the half, but was still smarting from a time management failure at the end of the second quarter. Washington made that a forgotten meltdown. His dash midway through the fourth quarter was the clincher. Rivers had just pulled San Diego (1-2) even with a 12-yard pass to Antonio Gates and 2-point conversion to Legedu Naanee with 6:39 left. Washington caught the second half kickoff 1-yard deep in the end zone, and other than a couple of flailing hands grasping at his shoes, went untouched for the longest kickoff return in Seahawks history. Fifteen seconds later, Seattle was back in front. Washington got lost in a pile, squirted free and raced 99 yards to give Seattle its final advantage. From there, Rivers tested Seattle's maligned secondary that allowed the Chargers QB to throw for a career-high 455 yards. San Diego drove to the Seattle 14 before a pair of false starts backed up Rivers. On fourth-and-15 at the Seattle 19, his pass for Gates at the goal line was knocked away by Roy Lewis.

Rookie tight end Jimmy Graham grabbed it and, just before falling out of bounds, tossed it back to long-snapper Jason Kyle, who tapped toes on both feet down like a receiver just inside the sideline. The game was a back-and-forth affair that one would expect from longtime rivals who appear to be the best teams in the NFC South. There were bizarre blunders and big plays, including an unusual turnover by Atlanta on a Saints punt in the third quarter. NFL ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW ORLEANS — A charmed run by the defending champion Sanits ended with a shanked field goal by the same specialist who went down in New Orleans lore with clutch kicks last season. Garrett Hartley missed an overtime chip shot, then was left to watch the Falcons rush the field after his counterpart, Matt Bryant, drilled a 46-yard field goal with 1:55 left in the extra period to lift the Atlanta Falcons to a 27-24 victory on Sunday. The Saints appeared to have another thrilling victory in hand when Drew Brees drove New Orleans to the Atlanta 11-yard line in overtime. Instead, Hartley hooked his 29-yard kick to the left for his third miss this season. Matt Ryan passed for 228 yards and touchdowns of 13 yards to Tony Gonzalez and 22 yards to Roddy White to give the Falcons (2-1) their second straight win. Michael Turner added 30 carries for 114 yards and a 1-yard touchdown plunge. Lance Moore had a pair of Lance Moore touch down catches for New Orleans (2-1), including a career-long 80 yarder. He finished with six catches for 149 yards and also had a 72-yard punt return to set up Jeremy Shockey's short touch down catch on New Orleans' first drive. New Orleans converted the turnover into Moore's second touchdown on a 16-yard catch Ryan, by contrast, minimized mistakes, going 19 of 30 with no interceptions and taking only one sack by Will Smith. * While Brees was clutch late, he made early mistakes that came back to haunt his team, throwing an interception on a flea-flicker and another when he tried to underhand a pass, Brett Favre style, to Graham as he was falling forward. Brent Grimes made Atlanta's first interception and, DeCoud the second. Brees also, sacked by John Abraham and Jonathan Babineaux. and run to put New Orleans ahead 21-17 late in the third quarter. On the Falcons' 80-yard scoring drive to take the lead in the fourth quarter, Ryan converted a third- and 10 with a pass to Gonzalez and his scoring strike to White came on third-and-6. Fortunately for Atlanta, Ryan rarely made a mistake and routinely exhibited uncanny instincts, decisiveness and accuracy in the clutch. On the Falcons' 80-yard scoring drive to take the lead in the fourth quarter, Ryan converted a thirdand-10 with a pass to Gonzalez and his scoring strike to White came on third-and-6. Brees, who was 30 of 38 for 365 yards and three touchdowns; drove the Saints into game-tying field goal range late in regulation; in part by converting a fourth- and 1 pass to Shockey for a 6-yard gain. Hartley made that kick, from 32 yards, with four seconds left in the fourth quarter. Last season, Hartley sent the Saints to the franchise's first Super Bowl with an overtime game-winner in the NFC title game, made three field goals during the Super Bowl, and also clinched the Saints Week 2 win at San Francisco last Monday night with a 37-yard, partially blocked field goal at the end of regulation. Ryan was at his determined best on a 19-play, 72-vard drive that consumed 10:39 of the second quarter and tied the game at 14 shortly before halftime. He just couldn't come through in OT this time, and the critical miss looked similar to two less consequential misses that were hooked left in the Saints' season opening win against Minnesota.

The women will host the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational at Alvamar Country Club in Lawrence. The men travel to Erie, Colo. to compete in the Colorado Invitational. The women's team tied for second place in its last event, the Chip-N Club Invitational in Lincoln, Neb. The team was led by seniors Meghna Bal and Grace Thiry. Both tied for fourth place by shooting four over par in the two-round event that was shortened from three rounds because of inclement weather. "I'm really excited to play in our home tournament, especially after our success in Nebraska," Thiry said in a release. Thiry and Bal will be competing as individuals and will be joined by juniors Katy Nugent and Maria Jackson, redshirt freshman Fhong Boonrakasasat, senior Jennifer Clark, sophomore Audrey Yowell and freshman Meghan Potee. The men's team tied for sixth place last week in the Kansas Invitational. Senior Jeff Bell will be making his first appearance of the year competing in a team event. Bell competed in eight events last year. Senior Nate Barbee will also compete in Erie. Barbee, who has been struggling a bit this year, got off to a rough start. He shot an 80 in his opening round of the Kansas Invitational, before he came back in the final two rounds with a 74 and a 70. "This is a big step in hopefully starting to climb back and get over that hump" coach Kit Grove said. "He's been in a slump the last couple months and hopefully this is something he can build off of because at the end of the day he's very talented. He's a hard worker." Sophomore Chris Gilbert led the Jayhawks last week, tying for fifteenth place. Sophomore Alex Gutesha rounds out the Jayhawks' five-man squad. He finished in 31st place at last week's Kansas Invitational. Both Gilbert and Gutesha competed in all twelve events for the Jayhawks a year ago as freshmen. Grove said the men's biggest problem has been their inability to finish strong. He compared it to getting a lead in a basketball or football game, and then just trying to hold on for the win instead of keeping the intensity up the whole game. "They all kind of need to get focused from when they take the bag on the first tee to when they hole out on the 18th," Grove said. "The reality of the 54th hole is you just have to stay engaged, and I think that is where we are lacking." Edited by Abby Davenport NFL Bradford leads Rams to victory ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS — Steven Jackson watched from the sideline as the St. Louis Rams ended a 14-game home losing streak. Somehow they did not seem to miss their offensive star. Backup running back Kenneth Darby scored the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter and rookie quarterback Sam Bradford got his first NFL victory as the Rams overcame an injury to Jackson in a 30-16 win over the Washington Redskins on Sunday. The Rams (1-2) won for only the second time in 29 games overall behind a strong start and even stronger finish, with the biggest offensive showing under second-year coach Steve Spagnuolo. Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in April, was 23 for 37 for 235 yards and one touchdown and one interception for the Rams, spreading the ball to nine receivers. St. Louis, which lost its first two games by a total of six points, topped its previous best of 23 points under Spagnuolo in a five-point loss to the Saints last November. The Rams led 14-0 after their first two scores in the first quarter this season, weathered a 13-point surge by the Redskins plus a blocked field goal at the end of the half, and played keep-away after the break. They stymied the Redskins defensively despite going with a pair of backup safeties much of the game, and got impressive work from the reserve running backs after Jackson was sidelined with a groin injury in the second quarter. Darby had 49 yards on 14 carries and Keith Toston had 22 yards on 11 carries. Jackson finished with 58 yards on 10 carries including a 42-yard score for the game's first touchdown. Santana Moss had six receptions for 124 yards and a score for Washington (1-2), but also lost a fumble in the first half that led to a touchdown for St. Louis. Donovan McNabb, who gets his homecoming game at Philadelphia next week, was 19 for 32 for 236 yards with one touchdown and an interception. The pick by Bradley Fletcher at the Washington 41 with 3:39 to play helped the Rams finish it off with Josh Brown's third field goal of the second half. Safety Oshiomoghe Atogwe injured his thigh in the second quarter and the other safety, Craig Dahl, was inactive with a conclusion. There was no letup with James Butler and Darian Stewart in the lineup. Darby, who entered the game with 2 yards on three carries, gave the Rams the lead for good at 21-16 on a 12-yard run midway through the third quarter. He gained 24 yards on four straight carries to open the fourth quarter, helping set up a field goal. NFL 22 33 SPENCER 90 Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dexter McCluster (22) dives for a touchdown past San Francisco 49ers safety Dashon Goldson (38), and safety Michael Lewis (32) during the first half of an NFL football game in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday. Sept. 26, 2010. AP Photo/Ed Zurga 88), and safety 49ers fall to undefeated Chiefs ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Matt Cassel's three touchdown passes included a trick play that caught San Francisco completely flat-footed and the surprising Kansas City Chiefs remained unbeaten Sunday with a 31-10 rout of the hapless, winless 49ers. After starting 0-4 a year ago and winning only 10 games the previous three seasons combined, the Chiefs are 3-0 for the first time since 2003. The offense of the 49ers (0-3), which rolled up 417 yards Monday night against New Orleans, managed only a field goal until the final play from scrimmage. Cassel was 16 for 27 for 250 yards. He connected with Dexter McCluster on a 31-yard run-and-catch and fired a perfect 45-yard strike to a wide-open Dwayne Bowe off a fake end-around. Rookie tight end Tony Moeaki put Kansas City on top 24-3 late in the third with a great falling down, one-handed catch of Cassel's 18-yard toss. It's the second time in three games San Francisco has been dominated, and is sure to cause unrest in the Bay Area where many expected the 49ers to contend. Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones, who have become the center of a running back controversy among Chiefs fans, helped K.C. rush for 207 yards. Charles, whose breakaway speed has made him a fan favorite, had 97 yards on 12 carries while Jones had 95 on 19, including a 3-yard scoring run that made it 31-3 with 3:27 left on the bright, sunny afternoon. The 49ers wound up with 251 total yards, and that included 53 yards on their final two plays. They did not allow the Saints even one sack six days earlier. But the Chiefs' rejuvenated defense under first-year coordinator Romeo Crennel harried Alex Smith all day and held Frank Gore to just 43 yards on 15 carries. Gore did have 102 yards on nine catches. In three games, the Chiefs have allowed only 14 second-half points. Kansas City coach Todd Haley's gambling instincts were evident all day. The Chiefs tried an onside kick after their first touchdown, converted a fourth-and-1 from midfield and scored on a trick play in the third period. Leading 10-3, the Chiefs in a wildcat formation snapped the ball to Jones. He handed the ball to McCluster, who appeared to be taking off on an end-around. But McCluster turned around and tossed the ball back to Cassel. The quarterback then pulled up and lofted a perfect strike to Bowe, who was all by himself in the end zone as safety Dashon Goldson frantically tried to get back. The 49ers were plagued by bad field position all game, starting drives at their own 13, 10, 22, 24 and twice at their own 12. They began only two drives beyond their own 28, including once when a Kansas City kickoff went out of bounds. Smith was 23 for 42 for 232 yards. His 41-yarder to Gore on the next-to-last play from scrimmage set up a 12-yard TD strike to Josh Morgan as the final second ticked off the clock. Brandon Flowers' interception return last week gave the Chiefs' their only touchdown in a victory at Cleveland. Joe Nedney had a 51-yard field goal for the 49ers in the second quarter.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM NFL Raiders' mistakes costly ASSOCIATED PRESS The game was littered with them. GLENDALE, Ariz. — Fittingly, Arizona's 24-23 victory over Oakland on Sunday ended with a big mistake. Sebastian Janwikowski's errant 32-yard field goal as the game ended allowed the Cardinals to escape in their home opener, a game Oakland had repeated chances to win in the final minutes. The kick, after a 39-yard pass interference call against Arizona's Dominique Rodgers-Cartmartie, was wide left. Janikowski missed two others in the game, a 41-yarder and a 58-yarder. Both were wide right. LaRod, Stephens-Howling returned the opening kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown for Arizona (2-1) and Derek Anderson threw two touchdown passes, including an 8-yarder to Larry Fitzgerald with 1:01 left in the third quarter that proved to be the game winner. Oakland (1-2) committed 11 penalties for 123 yards, Arizona seven for 104. New Raiders starting quarterback Bruce Gradkowski was 17 of 34 for 255 yards and a touchdown with one interception. He threw 12 yards to Darrius Heyward-Bey on fourth-and-10 from his own 36 to keep the final drive alive. But he also was the main culprit in a delay-of-game penalty after another pass interference call — this one against Arizona's Greg Toler — gave the Raiders the ball first-and-goal at the Arizona 1-yard line midway through the fourth quarter. The penalty pushed the ball back to the 6 and Arizona's defense held, forcing Oakland to settle for Janikowski's 23-yard field goal that cut the lead to 24-23 with 7:59 to play. Later, Gradkowski's 35-yard pass to Louis Murphy helped Oakland advance to the Arizona 35, where Janikowski — who has a career-long 61-yarder and had booted a 54-yarder earlier in the game — set up for a 53-yard try. But a false start against left tackle Mario Henderson pushed the ball back 5 yards for a much more difficult 58-yarder attempt. Janikowski had the distance, but was just wide right. Oakland's Darren McFadden gained 105 yards in 25 attempts. Two of Oakland's field goals came after Raiders' puns bounced off the legs of an Arizona player — first Matt Ware, then Rodgers-Cromartie. Anderson completed just 12 of 26 for 122 yards and was intercepted once but was 3 for 3 for 41 yards on the drive to the deciding touchdown. Beanie Wells, in his first game of the season after sitting out two games following arthroscopic knee surgery, gained 24 yards on his first carry and finished with 75 yards and 14 attempts. Teammate Tim Hightower had 40 in 11 carries, including a 13-yarder in the final touchdown drive. Anderson's 2-yard touchdown pass to Steve Breaston put the Cardinals up 17-13. The Raiders took a 20-17 half-time lead with a 7-play, 69-yard touchdown drive, culminating with McFadden's two-yard scoring run with 10 seconds left in the half.

In a FedEx Cup that came down to the final hole Sunday in the Tour Championship, Furyk nearly holed a bunker shot and knocked in the $2\frac{1}{2}$-foot par putt to close with an even-par 70 and a one-shot victory over Luke Donald to capture the big payoff in golf. Donald, who chipped in from 100 feet for birdie on the 17th hole, was waiting in the scoring trailer when Furyk stood in a bunker. When he tapped in his par with cap turned backward, Furyk plucked the ball out of the hole and fired it over the grandstands behind the 18th green at East Lake. He earned $1.35 million for winning the tournament, and $10 million from the FedEx Cup.

However, only eight were up to the challenge of designing and creating clothing to mimic it. The preliminary competition for the Student Union Activity's fifth annual Project Runway took place Monday at the Kansas Union. The designers were instructed to design an outfit or piece of clothing that represented their favorite place on campus or in Lawrence. The judging panel made up of SUA members scored the submissions of eight designers. Five designers will be selected to present their collections.

DOLE INSTITUTE OF POLITICS The University of Kansas BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcnaughton.kansan.com Last night, accompanied by ringing bells, audience members at the Dole Institute of Politics recited the Preamble to the Constitution. The reading of the Preamble served as the introduction to the discussion "Is Nothing Sacred? Snyder v. Phelps and Free Speech." The Dole Institute of Politics and the School of Law co-sponsored the event in honor of Constitution Day, which was Sept. 17. Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute of Politics and a moderator for the discussion, said Stephen McAllister suggested the topic. Lacy chose it for discussion because of its enormous appeal. The discussion about the case featured Stephen McAllister and Christina Wells. McAllister, a University professor in law, argued for the Snyder family. "It's controversial and timely" Lacy said. McAllister focused his opinion and presentation of facts around the premise "Is Nothing Sacred?" "The big picture issue is that is there no limit? This case really tests how much we believe in certain principles," McAllister said. Wells, a professor of law at the University of Missouri, said she believed strongly in those principles. She presented arguments in favor of free speech and the First Amendment. Wells focused on picking, saying people have the right to talk to someone and target someone in particular. "All protestors target someone," Wells said. "You don't necessarily have the right to be free from speech that is offensive to you." In 2006, Fred Phelps and members of the Westboro Baptist Church picked the funeral of Marine Matthew Snyder. Snyder's family sued and the case has been granted an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The case goes before the court on Oct. 6. Wells said the Phelps' participation and presence at the 2006 funeral did not violate any state funeral laws. McAllister said traditionally, in the U.S., anything goes. "The case really tests how much we believe in certain principles." STEPHEN MCALLISTER KU law professor lister said. Cierha Berry said she came to the event because she sees Fred "Is the American view the best view? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. This case may decide that."

Kate Gleeson, a second-year law student from Lawrence, said she has a hard time respecting anyone who protests a funeral and after Matt Franzblau, a graduate student from Bridgewater, New Jersey, said his heart went out to the Snyder family. As long as the Phelps' are on public property they can't be told what to do because they have rights, Franzblau said. "I went in there pro-speech and came out the exact same," Franzblau said. Kyle Larson, a senior from Olathe, said although he did not agree with their speech, he did believe it should be protected. tonight's discussion she would be more receptive if the Supreme Court did restrict speech.

Ted Stevens acted improperly in the case, officials said. Nicholas A. Marsh, 37, committed suicide on Sunday, two years after being part of the Justice Department team that convicted Stevens on corruption charges that were eventually thrown out. Marsh's suicide was confirmed by his lawyer, Robert Luskin. "I think Nick loved being a prosecutor and I think he was incredibly fearful that this would prevent him from continuing to work for the Justice Department," Luskin said Monday. "It's incredibly tragic after all this time when throw out Stevens' convictions, which the judge did, while taking the additional step of appointing a prominent Washington attor- we were on the verge of a successful resolution." The prosecutors in the Stevens case failed to disclose evidence favorable to the defendant as Supreme Court precedent requires. The omission was so serious that Attorney General Eric Holder stepped in and asked a federal judge to "It's incredibly tragic after all this time when we were on the verge of a successful resolution." ROBERT LUSKIN Lawyer ney, Henry Schuelke, to investigate possible improprieties by the prosecutors. "My general sense is that with the direction things are going, 1 really would have been shocked if Hank had done anything other than exonerate Nick Marsh," said Luskin, who called the suicide a "terrible tragedy." "I think we were within shouting distance of the finish line," the attorney said. Luskin said his impression was that the investigation was drawing to a close. Stevens, a longtime Republican senator from Alaska, lost his Senate seat in an election shortly after his October 2008 conviction. He died in a plane crash in Alaska in August. Lanny Breuer, the assistant attorney general in charge of the Justice Department's criminal division, said, "Our deepest sympathies go out to Nick's family and friends on this sad day. The Department of Justice is a community, and today our community is mourning the loss of this dedicated young attorney" During the Schuelke investigation, Marsh had been transferred from the department's Public Integrity Section, which handles corruption probes. Marsh most recently been working in the department's Office of International Affairs. "Notwithstanding the unfounded accusations recently made against him, he took his ethical and professional obligations as seriously as any prosecutor or lawyer I've ever met," Joshua Berman, a former prosecutor and close friend of Marsh, said in a statement.

"I like giving back to the community and helping out," Krass said. Students and staff have the chance to donate all week BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com The week-long fall KU Blood Drive kicked off Monday at the Kansas Union. Students who donated received a free T-shirt and free catered Jimmy Johns sandwiches, but many students who donated blood Monday gave other reasons for their choice. The blood drive met its donation goal for the day, but phlebotomist Charlene Good said meeting the daily quota was never enough. Hannah Hindman, a junior from St. Louis, admitted she was nervous, but still decided to give blood because it was the right thing to do. "One day maybe I'll need blood, and hopefully someone will be willing enough to give as well," Hindman said. "Donations are always down," Good said. "The way I tell a lot of people is every time you hear sirens, you might as well think of 20 units already being needed, because somewhere in the hospitals we provide for, somebody will need it." "It gives me some incentive, because I kind of feel like I'm making up for them," McCoy said. Students who plan on giving blood later in the week are encourage drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Afterwards, they are encouraged to take it easy. The blood drive schedule, including locations, can be found at http:// kublooddrive.com/locations.htm.

Eat iron-rich foods, such as red meat, poultry, fish, liver, beans, iron-fortified cereals, green leafy vegetables, and raisins. AT THE DONATION SITE: 2. If you have donated blood before, show the staff member any "good veins" that have been used in the past. AFTER DONATING: 3. If you feel light-headed, lie down with your feet elevated until the feeling passes. Sometimes tapping your toes like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" ("There's no place like home. There's no place like home.) also helps. 2. Avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for five hours after the donation. 1. Drink plenty of fluids over the next 24 to 48 hours. If for any reason something does not feel right after you have donated, call the phone number provided to you after your donation.

HOLLYWOOD LAWRENCE Panel decries dangers that censorship of books brings A book discussion panel talks to the public about the book "Naked Lunch" which was censored in the United States in the 1960s, Monday night at the Lawrence Public Library. "Naked Lunch" was discussed because its author was a Lawrence resident. BY ALLYSON SHAW ashaw@kansan.com "Naked Lunch" is filled with sex, drugs and bad language. The novel was first published in Paris in 1959 by a Lawrence resident, William S. Burroughs, and was banned in 1962 by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Three Lawrence residents sat at a panel last night at the Lawrence Public Library to discuss censorship in the '60s and today. "It's thought that these books will sweep people away, but these people are already swept away," said local artist and Burroughs' companion, Wayne Propst. "When they encounter a book like this they say, 'Ah, it's great to meet a fellow traveler.'" Hundreds of books are challenged every year in America, said attorney and panelist Bill Hays. Hays was involved in a case in the early '90s in which the Olathe school district removed the book "Annie On My Mind" because its opponents claimed it promoted homosexuality. The court forced the school to return the books. "Hopefully all attempts to ban or cursor books like this will be shut down," Hays said. "It is our First Amendment right." "People said that there was "Naked Lunch" was the last book to undergo an obscenty trial in America. It was most heavily criticized for its description of child murder and pedophilia. The book was first sold alongside "stroke novels" until the proprietor of the store was thrown into jail, said James Grauerholz, executor of Burroughs' literary estate and panelist. Grauerholz said the culture clash of the 1960s contributed to the book being banned. this spreading, contagious illness that would make young people act out sexual desires and speak for themselves and that it was caused by the words of these obscure poets and prose writers," Grauerholz said. Propt said although some of his art may be shocking to young people, it's still important for them to see. He talked about a piece he worked on that depicts a child with severe burns, which represents what is happening to children in Kabul and Baghdad. "My son looks at that and says, "That's gross." "The art people see, the music people hear and the words people understand have been liberated by intangible digital media." they will not be removed thanks to technology. When "Naked Lunch" was first published and removed, it was gone. But today, the Internet makes it possible to access almost anything. "Hopefully all attempts to ban or censor books like this will be shut down. It is our First Amendment right." BILL HAYS Attorney Propst said. "But that's not my problem. This is real — it's happening. Some of the art I've made would be disturbing to anyone, including me." Grauerholz said although art, music or books may be censored, Although "Naked Lunch" is available in school and public libraries, it is still racy, Grauerholz said. Grauerholz said "There's a saying that today's banned book is tomorrow's textbook," Grauerholz said. "But I'm proud that hasn't happened to 'Naked Lunch.' It's too subversive, too shocking." Propst added, "It's too smart." — Edited by Michael Bednar KCBEERFEST:LEGENDS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16 @ 2:00PM KC BEERFEST TASTE LEARN GIVE ? 🎧 Join us in October for the 4th Annual KCBeerfest @ Legends Outlets Kansas City Sample hundreds of beers from around the world, learn more about craft brews and raise money for charity! $25 in advance / $30 at the door WWW.KCBEERFEST.COM KCBeerfest is a fundrasiser for the AIDS Services Foundation of Greater Kansas City (www.asfkc.org) and the Kansas City Free Health Clinic (www.kcfree.org). 4A / NEWS / TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KANSAN.COM HOROSCOPES 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Today's Cryptoquip Clue: X equals O All puzzles © King Features Neil Young experiments with sounds in acoustic album MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Neil Young set out to make a solo acoustic album when he called up his friend Daniel Lanois to do some recording earlier this year at the producer's home studio, an early 20th century mansion overlooking Silver Lake in California. When they finished, they came up with something beyond what either of them could have imagined. Young reaches for a new genre classification to describe the album, "Le Noise" (Reprise), due out Tuesday. "It's folk-metal," he says with a LIBERTY HALL accessibility info (785) 749-1972 644 Mass, 749-1912 CAIRO TIME (R) 4:30 7:10 9:40 GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE(R) 4:15 7:00 9:30 2 for 1 admission tonight!! laugh. "We got this sound on the guitar that was very exciting to us. There's the singularity of a folk performance on the guitar, but with a heavy-metal civilization of sound around it." "That was just a bunch of noise we were having fun with." Young says, "This is about songs built on riffs. Dan loved those riffs, and they gave him something to hang the sound on." Lanois, who has worked with artists ranging from U2 and Bob Dylan to Willie Nelson and Peter Gabriel, had never recorded with Young before. He had been working on new approaches to shaping sound in the studio for several years with engineer Mark Howard If "Le Noise" has any antecedent in the Young catalog, it's the electric guitar experiments he brought to "Arc," the instrumental companion to his 1991 "Weld" live album when Young called. The singer was inspired by the way Lanois was simultaneously audio recording and video recording performances in his studio, creating a distinctive look and sound that straddled cutting-edge technology and organic, performance-based music. Indeed, the video accompanying the "Le Noise" album is stunning _ a shadow play of stark black-and-white images that documents the live recording and enhances it with evocative lighting. waiting for Young when he walked into his studio for the first time. The producer handed the singer a tricked-out acoustic guitar that made it sound like a small orchestra: a beefed-up bass response on the lower two strings, a pickup that recreates the sound of the human But the core of the album is its extraordinary sound: a wide-screen intimacy conjured by just a voice and a guitar. Lanois had a surprise "It's folk metal. We got this sound on the guitar that was very exciting to us." NEIL YOUNG Musician voice and allows it to loop and echo through the song, and a tremolo amplifier. "You get four dimensions of sound out of one acoustic guitar, and I thought it might inspire him to play a certain way." Lanois says. "We got the clarity of the guitar with a rich, beautiful bottom, a great subsonic sound with no mumbo-jumbo. It started with that sound on that guitar and we recorded two songs. Then, at the end of the first session, we went electric on the song "Hitchhiker". That's when things really started getting interesting." The hollow-body electric guitar was channeled through two amplifiers, one clean-sounding and the other for tremolo effect. Lanois saw even greater potential: "We covered both ends of the sound spectrum with the guitar. It's got this cutting, razor-drill sound and this beautiful bass tone with sweet melody on the other end." Young, not prone to hyperbole in interviews, was blown away by the guitar sounds Lanois was able to capture: "It sounded like God." The songwriter brought several songs into the session and wrote a few more in between visits to Lanois' house, each recording "Neil has said he does good work when there's a full moon." Lanois says, "so who am I to argue?" says, 'So who will it be to argue. Whether it was the guitars, the setting or the alignment of the planets, "Le Noise" is one of Young's finest recordings. Its merger of violence and plaintiveness provides a striking backdrop for the singer's meditations on themes that have obsessed him for decades: on making love last past the first rush of romance, the corruption of the planet, his own search for redemption and clarity. On "Hitchhiker," he chronicles his life as a string of abusive episodes with drugs, and winds up grateful that he's still standing with a partner who loves him. Mortality drapes itself over the songs. In the last nine months, two of Young's closest collaborators died: filmmaker Larry "L.A." Johnson and multi-instrumentalist and producer Ben Keith.

"There is about 70 percent of my repertoire that I will never do again (with a band)," Young says. "There is no sense in trying to redo what was already great. There's no payoff in that. That's not what I'm about." "I'm thankful to have known Ben and played with him for 40 years. He was one of my best friends, and I miss him very much.

Among students who drop out, mounting loan balances are prime culprits. GOVERNMENT The root of the problem With Washington engulfed in debate over whether to extend Bush-era tax cuts, issues of class are again at the forefront of the national conversation. The disagreement centers on whether those cuts should be extended for all Americans, including families with incomes over $250,000. Republicans and a sizable number of Democrats are adamant about the need for across-the-board extensions. President Obama, on the other hand, favors extending the cuts for middle class families. Lingering not far beneath the surface of the controversy is the issue of income inequality. An economist at the University of California-Berkeley recently calculated that the top one percent of American income earners hold 20 percent of the nation's wealth. Those who question the need for tax cuts for the wealthy seize on such figures, noting that historically, concentrated wealth has been linked to economic downturns. While the outcome of the tax debate will have enormous implications for income inequality, there hasn't been as much focus on the most glaring area of class disparity: higher education. The Kansas Board of Regents recently unveiled a proposal to expand financial aid by $10 million, including $6 million recouped from university sales taxes and $4 million sponsored by Politics on Campus BY LUKE BRINKER lbrinker@kansan.com Kansas universities and athletics departments. With Kansas lagging behind all other Big 12 states in financial assistance to students, the plan is worthy of support. The backdrop to the Regents' proposal is a staggering increase in the cost of a university education. While the University guarantees students a flat rate of tuition for four years, each entering class faces consistently higher tuition and fees. Tuition skyrocketed more than 200 percent in the past decade. One area that hasn't seen nearly as much growth is family income. Calculations from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and the Coalition on Human Needs find that, in inflation-adjusted dollars, the median income for a Kansas household was $50,852. The figure declined to $49,119 by 2008. With college costs consuming an ever-larger proportion of families' budgets, debt levels are rising astronomically. And that's for students who end up making it to campus. As more families are priced out of higher education, This has disconcerting economic,political,and social ramifications.If upward mobility — pulling oneself up by the bootstraps — is to be a reality,then college education can't become the exclusive province of the comfortable.The GI Bill of the postwar years created a dynamic middle class and played a major role in fostering a decades-long economic boom.Moreover,the Greatest Generation was among the most civically engaged. Education increases one's sense of a stake in public affairs. Allowing the university experience to slip further out of reach will inevitably result in the alienation of a growing segment of the American populace. Most important, though, is the impact that the current stratification has on students. Denying them the ability to interact with people from diverse racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds keeps their worlds unnecessarily small. It's high time policymakers work to ensure that doesn't happen — and the Board of Regents' proposal is an excellent start. Luke Brinker is a sophomore from Topeka in history. CARTOON FUEL FOR BAD DECISIONS GOOD DECISIONS ARE SAFE CHOICES FUEL FOR BAD DECISIONS "Hey, look, a message outside a bottle!" GOOD DECISIONS ARE SAFE CHOICES GUEST COLUMN MARIAM SAIFAN Gift may prove Zuckerberq's an OK guy Seven billion dollars - seriously? I could have had that much dough if I had created Facebook? If that's the case, someone get me a DeLorean. I'm going back to 2003 to hang out with Mark Zuckerberg, former Harvard student and founder of Facebook, the popular social networking site. How popular? Recent estimates put the number of Facebook users around 550 million, which means the advertising department is probably poppin' bottles as we speak. Zuckerberg's personal worth is estimated at around $6.9 billion, making him number 35 on Forbes list of wealthiest individuals, above much older billionaires like Steve Jobs and Rupert Murdoch, and the youngest billionaire in the United States. Enough with the fantasy; what What could you buy with almost $7 billion? Start with my car, a Toyota Yaris, for example; you could purchase a veritable armada – 437,000 of them. Not really a Toyota person? Have a taste for luxury? No worries. You could drive home a cool 25,000 Lamborghini, or basically enough to drive a different Lamborghini every day for the next 68 years. Or perhaps you have an inkling for extra-planetary travel. At $1.7 billion a pop, you could commandeer yourself four space shuttles. To understand how much $6.9 billion is, I will put this number in perspective. That's right, forget about what you might do with all his money. Zuckerberg is giving $100 million to the Newark School District, and surprisingly, not everyone is supportive. Some view this move, which was made public Friday during Zuckerberg's appearance on "Oprah," as a public stunt to soften a public image that will no doubt be called into question in the coming months. I'm interested in is reality, and in particular the donation of $100 million to a school district in Newark, New Jersey. "The Social Network," an upcoming movie about the founding of Facebook, does not exactly portray Zuckerberg as a very nice guy. As a result, some believe that Zuckerberg has tried to launch a preemptive battle to buffer his public image. This notion is bolstered by the fact that that the usually frugal and low-key Zuckerberg After all, $100 million is a lot of money. However, again, let us put this in perspective; $100 million, which is more than what 99.9 percent of all humans would earn in several lifetimes, is only 1.4 percent of Zuckerberg's net worth. A drop in the bucket, right? - the man who can afford 25,000 Lamborghini, drives an Acura - is clearly spending like he never has before, even if it is for charity. Wrong. Rarely in history have we seen such large donations given directly in such a public forum. Looking at the largest donations ever granted, seven of the top 10 were granted directly from the owner to his or her own charity. This, although certainly honorable, is more of a cop-out in many regards, as the donors are more often than not merely shifting their money to another branch of their control. So, are we to believe that Zuckerberg's donation is inconsequential? No. Only two other donations of $100 million or more have been made in the United States this year, even though at least 34 people have even more money to give than Zuckerberg. In a Sept. 24 article of The New York Times, Patrick M. Rooney, executive director of the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, called the donation "exceptional" and "mind-boggling," especially given that Zuckerberg is only 26 years old. Writing off Zuckerberg's donation as a publicity ploy is unfair. It's still $100 million, regardless of whether you're Bill Gates or a starving college student. If the money is funding education, we should all be on board. Forget PR and image; Mark Zuckerberg should be commended. Let's hope those Newark kids put the money to good use. — From Uwire. Brett Haupt for The Arizona Daily Wildcat at The University of Arizona ACTIVISM Native American women deserve equal protection On July 29 of this year, the Tribal Law and Order Act was signed into law. The impetus for the law was the disturbingly high number of rape victims among Native American women. Human Rights for All In 2007, Amnesty International issued a report that included shocking statistics about sexual assault among these communities: Native American women are rape victims 2.5 times more often than other women in the U.S. In fact, more than one-third of Native American women will be victims of rape. And, as Amnesty International director recently wrote in an article regarding the necessity of addressing this issue, "women from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in the Dakotas told us that they couldn't think of a single woman who hadn't been sexually assaulted." These facts are chilling. For a long time now, our country has failed these women. What's more, the inadequate protection and fulfillment of their rights has not even been acknowledged on a large public scale until recently. Even now, with the passage of the bill, the media coverage was less than deserved. As citizens of the United States, it is within their rights to be protected under the law; this means providing adequate medical examinations and doctor consultations for victims, investigations into sexual assault cases, and prosecuting perpetrators. Unfortunately, a lot of these cases have been slipping through the cracks, allowing more and more Native American BY KELLY COSBY kcosby@kansan.com women to be victimized. women to be victimized. The Tribal Law and Order Act is the first step in addressing many of these problems. The law is designed to increase communication and cooperation among tribal, local state, and federal governments to provide more accountability for dealing with crimes and other issues. This includes a more comprehensively organized way to share criminal data and history among the levels of government. In addition, the law also provides for more empowerment of tribal governments in keeping their communities safe. Of course, passing the law does not mean the problems are over. It will take a lot of bureaucratic cooperation and strategic implementation to make sure the objectives are met in a timely manner. And it is important to note that logistically, the law is not perfect. But, it is a step in the right direction. It shows that the administration is beginning to take these types of rights violations seriously and wants to do something about them.

Tuesday's visit carries a decidedly different political atmosphere than the one that surrounded the then-candidate in 2008, when a boisterous overflow crowd of more than 17,000 people greeted Obama at the Madison campus. His popularity has since dipped amid the nationwide recession, and many Democrats face tough challenges in the Nov. 2 midterm election. During a Monday conference call with college journalists, Obama acknowledged excitement has waned in the last two years. But he said he hoped the Madison rally would re-engage students and emphasize the importance of the midterm to advancing his agenda. "You can't sit it out," Obama said. "You can't suddenly just check in once every 10 years or so, on an exciting presidential election, and then not pay attention during big midterm elections where we've got a real big choice between Democrats and Republicans." One of the biggest choices facing Wisconsin voters is whether to send Sen. Russ Feingold back for a fourth term. Feingold — who's facing Republican millionaire businessman Ron Johnson — is skipping Obama's event Tuesday, opting to remain in Washington where the Senate is in session. Feingold also chose to attend his hometown Labor Day parade rather than stand with Obama at a Milwaukee rally earlier this month. Feingold's absence this time around may be more curious given his reliance on college students and independent voters to fuel his wins. In 2004, exit polls showed voters ages 18-29 favored Feingold 56 percent to 42 percent over Republican Tim Michels, mirroring Feingold's 55 percent to 44 percent margin of victory. Wisconsin traditionally has Wisconsin had one of the highest young voter turnouts. In 2008, 58 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds voted, according to the Washington b as e d Center for Information "The story of how much the turnout falls is a story about how disillusioned the Democratic base is." & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE). Nationally, exit polls showed young voters backed Obama 66 percent to 31 percent over Republican John McCain. prove particularly precarious for Democrats this year because so many more young voters supported them in 2008, said Peter Levine, director of CIRCLE. They helped give Obama a surprisingly large 14-point win in Wisconsin, far greater than the margin in the two previous presidential elections in which the Democrat won the state by less than half a percentage point. "The story of how much the turnout falls is a story about how disillusioned the Democratic base is now." Levine said. Democrats hoped the momentum would carry into the midterm, but Wisconsin's mood soured as the recession brought the state's unemployment levels in a generation. A July poll showed Obama's approval in Wisconsin at 49 percent, down from 60 percent last November. PETER LEVINE Director of CIRCLE The mood on campus has shifted as well, said University of Wisconsin senior Nick Novak, a volunteer for Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker's The enthusiasm gap could campaign Obama. "A lot of students just kind of blindly followed him because that's what everyone else was doing because he was the cool candidate," Novak said of Novak said student efforts back ing Walker are more organized on campus than they were for Republican John McCain's presidential campaign two years ago. "I think all around there's a general excitement about conservative candidates who are going to change the way our state and nation is run," said Novak, who is working with Republican students on 20 other Wisconsin campuses. Sondra Milkie, volunteer coordinator for the College Democrats of Madison, said students are working just as hard to get Feingold and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett elected this year. "They are incredibly excited," said Milkie, also a 21-year-old senior. "I think people know this election is important to students." The state Democratic Party has a dozen paid campus organizers working with college Democrats statewide to make phone calls, distribute leaflets and help students get registered and turn out Nov. 2, said party chairman Mike Tate. They are using the same tactics as during the 2008 campaign, which focused heavily on social networking websites and cell phone text messaging to organize students, said Tate, who predicted the president's visit would be "an absolute shot in the arm for the base of our party." The Madison rally is one of four Obama has scheduled in swing states during the next month. He will almost certainly talk about administration efforts to make college more affordable, stimulate the economy so jobs are available for graduates, and allow young adults to remain on parents' health insurance until age 26. But the event is organized as more youth-focused pep rally than policy discussion. Popular rock band the National, along with singer-songwriter Ben Harper, are scheduled to warm up the crowd. And despite Feingold's absence, the White House clearly recognizes holding his seat is essential to maintaining Democratic control of the Senate. First lady Michelle Obama plans to host a fundraiser for Feingold in Milwaukee next month. During his Labor Day visit, Obama praised Feingold, saying he's looking out for middle class workers, and is likely to talk up the senator again Tuesday. ENTERTAINMENT Economic concerns also affect performers' decisions to play single or with a group MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Randall Bramblett thinks of himself as a "band guy." Sure, his reputation as one of today's foremost Southern songwriters and instrumentalists can be corroborated by any of the artists who have cut his songs, including Bonnie Raitt, or who have employed his playing prowess on keyboardes and saxophone — say, Steve Winwood, both in and out of Traffic. But ask Bramblett what kind of musical environment provides the most natural fit for his vocal, instrumental and compositional strengths, and he will readily point to the music he has made in a band context. For proof, just look at any of his eight exemplary solo albums or the harder-to-find fusion and funk recordings he cut with the overlooked Southern band Sea Level in the late '70s. "I've always been a band guy," Bramblett said. "With a band, you just walk out onstage, play and then walk back to the dressing room. I guess I never really viewed myself as a solo artist." So why is Bramblett touring predominantly as a solo performer? Well, it's partly out of necessity. Great recordings and a sterling critical reputation don't always yield substantial financial rewards — especially in an economy in which many established artists from all genres are struggling to make a living. But it's also an opportunity for a little of the literate Southern detail of his song's story to shine through. There hasn't been a Bramblett record in which groove hasn't been a show than at a band show, believe it or not." Admittedly, some of Bramblett's records translate readily to a solo context. His new album, "The Meantime," shifts the focus from band-oriented tunes to more introspective works performed primarily on piano or by a trio key element. But the human story lines and keenly emotive character studies are just as important. "With a band, you just walk out onstage, play and then walk back to the dressing room." "If you really want to strip the songs down and listen to them as they were written, solo is the best way to do it. Now, playing solo can be vulnerable and lonely and all that stuff. But people also tend to listen more carefully at a solo RANDALL BRAMBLETT Musician of piano, bass and drums. "I just followed the flow on that one," he said. "It felt so good to do a piano-oriented record with an upright bass and drums with brushes. It's just a melodic record. And I needed that. I need to let myself be melodic. There are some romantic songs on there, too, which I normally don't let myself do. It just felt like the right thing at this time in my career." for some festival dates, but they also contain quieter songs with a lean and sometimes mysterious soulfulness that makes for inviting additions to his solo shows. Among them: the beautifully despondent "Disappearing Ink" from 2001's "No More Mr. Lucky" and the hopeful eulogy "Where a Life Goes" from 2008s "Now It's Tomorrow." Bramblett's previous records, particularly those on the New West label, took advantage of the hearty electric band he still fronts But the music that most involves Bramblett are the songs he has yet to write. Performing in solo or band contexts is fine. But his biggest creative impulses come from the ideas and rhythms that have yet to find their way into a composition. "For me, the key to staying involved and interested is having new material. That's the reward. Otherwise, you're basically just presenting a show like you would a play. And the key to new material is just a question of paying attention. There is always plenty of material out there if you look for it, so I just pay attention and try to take the time to show up to write. That's the heart of my musical life." INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATED PRESS SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Il promoted Kim Jong Un to the rank of general in the Korean People's Army, the state news agency reported, the clearest signal yet that the younger Kim is on track to succeed his father in ruling the impoverished country. Kim Jong II issued an order handing six people — including son Kim Jong Un — the rank of general, the Korean Central News Agency said in a dispatch published early Tuesday. Also promoted was Kim Kyong Hui, which is the name of Kim Jong I'lls sister. Her name was listed ahead of Kim Jong Un's in the report. The report came hours ahead of the start of the country's biggest political meeting in three decades and amid intense speculation that Kim Jong Il's youngest son and sister could be given key posts at the gathering. It marks the first time that Kim Jong Un's name has appeared in official media. It is widely believed that the ruling Workers' Party meeting, which was set to take place later Tuesday, may pave the way for Kim Long Un to become his father's successor. Some experts also said that Kim Kyong Hui might also get a prominent party job to oversee a transfer in case the leader dies before the son is ready to take over. U. S. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt M. Campbell said in a conference call that Washington was "watching developments carefully" and was working to interpret the announcement's significance. The report came hours ahead of the start of the country's biggest political meeting in three decades. Kim Jong Il took control of North Korea when his father, the North's founder Kim Il Sung, died of heart failure in 1994. He has reportedly groomed third son Kim Jong Un as his heir to power. Many delegates to the meeting arrived in Pyongyang on Sunday by train and the city was festooned with flags and placards announcing the event, footage shot by video news service APTN showed. "Warm congratulations to the representatives meeting of the Workers' Party of Korea!" read one poster. The question of who will take over from Kim Jong II, who rules with absolute authority but is believed to suffer from a host of aliments, is important to regional security because of North Korea's active nuclear and missile programs, and regular threats it makes against rival South Korea. A South Korean newspaper reported Monday that the younger Kim was chosen as a military delegate to the conference. The party central committee then put out internal propaganda proclaiming him to be Kim Jong II's sole successor, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper said, citing a source in North Korea that it did not identify. sister to a prominent position to help Kim Jong Un eventually run the North. Still, some experts said Kim's son may not be ready to officially debut as a successor, which could make the 68-year-old leader promote his Kim Kyong Hui, who is married to Russian-educated Jang Song Thaek, vice chairman of the all-powerful National Defense Commission, has emerged as one of Kim's key aides in recent years, experts said. "There is a possibility that she could play the role of a coordinator to make sure the power succession goes smoothly," Cheong said. Cheong, Seong-chang, a senior fellow at the Sejong Institute think tank near Seong, shared the view. Kim jong II might designate his 64-year-old sister to serve as a caretaker for the third-generation successor after Kim's death, for mer Japanese Defense Minister and national security adviser Yuriko Koike wrote in a syndicated column earlier this month. Koike wrote that Kim Jong II himself signaled his sister's authority in the communist country in comments before the ruling party's Central Committee, saying "Kim Kyong Hui is myself, the words of Kim Kyong Hui are my words, and instructions issued by Kim Kyong Hui are my instructions." Okei, now a top official in Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, did not clarify in her column how she knew of these comments. Kim Kyong Hui, who heads the North Korean ruling party's light industry department, is four years younger than her only biological sibling. Biographical information about her is extremely scarce. But a former sushi chef to Kim Jong Il wrote in a 2003 memoir that Kim Kyong Hui is full of charm when it comes to her brother. "At banquets, she would sit next to Kim Jong Il and kept on saying, "brother, brother!" Kenji Fujimoto said. A small photo in a book published by South Korea's Unification Ministry shows Kim Kyong Hui with a chubby, bespectacled face and wavy, shoulder-length hair. Footage aired last year by Pyongyang's state television showed her dressed in a light gray parka similar to her brother's while she stood side-by-side with him during an inspection trip to a farm. Koike wrote that Kim Kyong Hui was believed to have a fierce personality, adding that Kim Jong II is quoted as saying. "When my sister turns violent, no one can stop her: Even I can do nothing." Jang Sung-min, a former South Korean lawmaker who was involved in foreign affairs, also said Kim Kyong Hui has a fiery personality, citing an unidentified source in Beijing who he says is privy to North Korea affairs. "Kim Kyong Hui is the only person in the North who can speak frankly to Kim Jong II and can even be emotional in front of him," said Jang, who authored a book on Kim Jung II. Help Us Celebrate!

Both Jang and Kim Kyong Hui have become key officials accompanying Kim Jong II during field visits to public facilities, which include military units that form the key base of Kim's support. There was a big jump in the couple's appearances in KCNA in recent years. "Kim Kyong Hui's frequent appearances in her brother's field trips showed that she is a key person who can play a role in the power success," said Kim Yonghyun, a North Korea expert at Seoul's Dongguk University. KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2010 / NEWS 7A BIG 12 FOOTBALL UCLA stomps on Texas' BCS championship dreams ASSOCIATED PRESS 25 Texas Jeremy Hills hurries his head in his hands during the final moments of the fourth quarter of a game against UCLA on Saturday in Austin, Texas. UCLA won 34-12, diminishing the chances that Texas will play in the BCS championship game for a second straight year. OKLAHOMA CITY — The chances that Texas will return to the BCS championship game for a second straight year are greatly diminished, if not gone, after a humiliating rout at home. That doesn't mean the Longhorns are done in the Bie 12. What better way to shake off a 34-12 loss to UCLA than with a victory over archrival Oklahoma just seven days later? ASSOCIATED PRESS "The only big games at Texas, (former) coach (Darrell) Royal told me, are the ones that you lose," coach Mack Brown said Monday on the Big 12 coaches' call. "We've lost ones before that got big. Everybody gets mad and everybody gets angry, and all we can do is go back to work." The annual Red River Rivalry game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas will be lessened in stature this year after the Longhorns' stunning loss on Saturday highlighted a day of struggles by the Big 12's powerhouses. The Sooners caged Cincinnati 31-29 and No. 6 Nebraska was unimpressive in a 17-3 win against South Dakota State of the Football Championship Subdivision. That leaves serious questions about whether the Big 12 has a legitimate national title contender while two other conferences will have their best teams playing at center stage Saturday night: No. 1 Alabama hosts No. 7 Florida in the SEC, and No. 9 Stanford visits No. 4 Oregon in the Pac-10. In these parts, it still doesn't get much bigger than No. 8 Oklahoma vs. No. 21 Texas. The teams have combined to win the last six Big 12 championships, escalating tensions between rivals that have been playing for over a century. "That just made it more intense, I think, and the fact that we've been in the national hunt — both of us over the years — also intensified it or at least brought it more attention nationally," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "In the end, being in the same division has really made it even more important." This week, it's one of two big games in the division. Texas A&M (3-0) will visit Oklahoma State (3-0) on Thursday night in the only game featuring two of the conference's six remaining undefeated teams. All three of the North's unbeaten teams — Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas State — are off this weekend. The winner of Thursday night's game emerges as the top challenger in the South to the Red River rivalry victor. "There's no question that you want to get going in conference play, and you're playing good football teams," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "You want to keep momentum going. Our guys have performed pretty well up to this point, so we want them to continue on and keep some momentum as we roll through conference." For now, the Cowboys and Aggies have flown under the radar, with each team posting two blowouts and barely scraping by once. With a national TV audience looking on, both unranked teams have a chance to make a statement in their Big 12 opener. "We look at every week as a big test and this week certainly because they're a team that has had some good success here as of late with coach Gundy. He's done a great job." A&M coach Mike Sherman said. "They're moving the ball on offense, they're playing good defense and they have very good special teams units. "It'll be a good test for us, no doubt about it. The kids are anxious to play the game." Texas already has a leg up on the rest of the South with its Week 3 win at Texas Tech, but last week's loss did nothing but raise concerns. "This isn't my first fan panic," Brown said. "The only thing we can do to get fans to calm down is win." Brown knows that well. After losing to Oklahoma five straight times to start the 2000s, the Longhorns have won four of the last five and at least have that momentum on their side in a series filled with streaks. "When you start losing it, the fans get on you so hard that it puts so much pressure on you as a coach and your kids that it's hard to get it turned back," Brown said. "That's all you hear because you've got great respect between the two universities and the game is big, and it's really important. It's a midseason game, so it's really a hard game for everybody. "I think that that's probably what's happened is that one group feels so much pressure because their fan base feels that pressure." Stoops, however, is quick to point out that the Sooners have won three of the last four Big 12 championships — with two of them coming in seasons when Oklahoma lost to Texas in Dallas. "This game matters because it's right now. Then after that, you've got to win them all to have the chance to be the Big 12 champion," he said. "This game doesn't do it. "Sometimes I think the media, 'Oh, this is the only game that counts.' Well, if you win this game and lose a bunch of others, it doesn't amount to much." U. S. WOMEN'S BASKETBALL U.S. defeats Canada 87-46 in women's basketball world tournament ASSOCIATED PRESS OSTRAVA, Czech Republic — Lindsay Whalen and the rest of the second unit again sparked the United States to victory. Whalca scored 16 points and Angel McCoughtry added 11 to lead the U.S. to an 87-46 rout of Canada on Monday night in the second round of the women's basketball world championship. The Americans face Belarus today. "We're able to come in and analyze what's going on and see what's happening on the court," Whalen said. "We can bring energy, intensity, and see what's working and try to play hard." For the second straight game the U.S. got off to a slow start. Canada jumped to an 11-5 lead, and coach Geno Auriemma turned to his bench. The second unit got four straight turnovers on the way to a 12-0 run. The U.S. forced 32 turnovers for the game. "1 like that second group," Auriemma said. "I thought about changing the starting lineup today as those guys are stuck in the mud. You got some high energy guys like Lindsay, Angel, Maya, as well. Tina gave us a great burst at the beginning of the second quarter." On one play, McCoughtry store the ball from Kaela Chapdelaine, made a move to the basket causing the Canadian guard to fall, and then scored an easy hoop. Janelle Bekkering ended the spurt with a 3-pointer to make it 17-14. Bekkering was one of three college players in the game. She is a fifth-year senior at Gonzaga. Fellow Canadian Natalie Achwona is a freshman at Notre Dame. Connecticut's Maya Moore is the Americans' lone college player. Bekkering's basket didn't stem the tide for long. The U.S. held Canada without a basket for the next 7 minutes and on a 16-3 run to make it 33-17. Charles had five points during the burst, including a three-point play on a drive from the foul line. By the time the half ended, the U.S. led 47-25. Bekkering and Kim Smith scored eight points to lead Canada (1-3). Despite knowing what they were up against, the Canadians didn't seem in awe of the Americans. "We knew we're all basketball players in the end of the day." Courtnay PLPilaitis said. seconds into the third quarter. She stole the ball and went the length of the court. The official, however, called her for traveling before her two-handed slam attempt went off "We're able to come in and analyze what's going on and see whats hapening on the court." The 6-foot-6 center, who had surgery for torn knee cartilage in late August, tried a dunk about 10 "You don't think about who's who and who you're guarding." While Sylvia Fowles had another quiet game scoring just two points, she did answer any lingering questions about the health of her left knee. LINDSAY WHALEN U.S. player the rim. "She's healthy and feels good." Auriemmaaid. "She's not experienced any issues or problems. I think she's got to get into the flow of the game. She hasn't played in a long time She's such a presence out there. She makes our team incredibly different with her out there. Hopefully Canada (1-3) couldn't get closer than 20 in the second half. The Canadians will play Greece today. she'll stay healthy and little by little we'll get her more involved with what we're doing. Auriemma wasn't thrilled with his team's play at times in the second half. On one possession the Americans had a 2-on-1 break and McCoughtry threw a pass off the rim. Another play really drew his irie — Charles driving the middle and trying to shoot over two Canadians. When the shot missed the U.S. coach looked at his former star at UConn and said, "Are you out of your mind?" Despite sharing a border, Canada and the U.S. don't play each other very often. They last met in the 2007 FIBA Americas qualifier, with the U.S. winning by 48 points. The U.S. had won five of the six meetings, with Canada's lone victory at the worlds in 1975. "I think we really struggled with the speed of the Americans," Canada coach Allison McNeill said. "Every turnover we paid for it and we had a lot of them. Love to do it more often. Wed love to play them all the time so we can get better." Canada advanced to the second round by beating China in the opening pool play. After a 12-year absence from the worlds, the Canadians returned four years ago to the tournament and placed 10th in Brazil.

Bears take advantage of Packers' record penalties ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Still doubting the Bears? Jay Cutler threw for 221 yards, Brian Ulcher forced a key fumble and Chicago took advantage of a team-record-tying 17 penalties by the Packers to beat Green Bay 20-17 on Monday night. Robbie Gould won it with a 19-yard field goal with 4 seconds left. The Packers' james Jones lost a fumble on a hit by Urlacher in the final minutes. Then Morgan Burnett was called for pass interference on Earl Bennett, setting up the winning kick. Chicago is 3-0 and alone atop the NFC North. The Packers fell to 2-1. "It's fun, that is all you can ask for; Cutler said. "The defense did a great job, we struggled the whole game, felt like we kind of were killing ourselves." The Bears kept insisting they were contenders through a sloppy preseason and less-than-inspiring opening win over Detroit. Since then, they turned heads with a win at Dallas last week, and stamped themselves as contenders by beating Green Bay — with lots of help from the Packers. The Bears had tied it at 17 on a 25-yard field goal by Gould when Urlacher jarred the ball out of Jones hands after the receiver caught a pass from Aaron Rodgers near midfield. Tim Jennings recovered, giving Chicago the ball on the Packers 46 with 2:18 remaining. Soon after, another penalty cost the Packers in a big way. The Plexer down at the 33, Cutler tried to hit Bennett deep along the right sideline and Burnett basically hammered him, wiping out an interception by Nick Collins and putting the ball at the 9. Three plays later. Chicago walked away with a wild win and the only undefeated record in the NFC. Devin Hester delivered his first touchdown return in three years when he ran back a punt 62 yards in the fourth quarter, giving the Bears a short-lived 14-10 lead. Rodgers threw for 316 yards and a touchdown and also scored on a 3-yard run that gave the Packers a 17-14 lead in the fourth period. Jermichael Finley had nine catches for 115 yards, but the sloppiness simply caught up with the Packers in the end. Cutler completed 16 of 27 passes with a touchdown and interception. Johnny Knox had four catches for 94 yards. Chicago held its longtime rival to 63 yards rushing, but the Bears had only 77 themselves. That turned it into an air game for much of the night.

Beshears was named the Big 12 Special teams Player of the Week Monday morning after returning a kick-off 96 yards for a touchdown against New Mexico State. SILVERTON Beshears, who now ranks Beshears third in the NCAA in kickoff return average at 37.12, had a career day against the Aggies on Saturday. Besides the long kickoff return, he ran the ball eight times for 38 yards and scored two touchdowns. He had previously been playing cornerback, but played at running back for the first time Saturday. The Jayhawks have now had two players receive honors this season. Linebacker Justin Springer was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 13 after he recorded 15 tackles and a sack against Georgia Tech. - Max Vosburgh Amputee's swimming feat impresses MORNING BREW No arms, no legs, but Phillippe Croizon overcomes his limits. So the quadruple amputee swam across the English Channel. The 42-year-old Frenchman completed the 21-mile swim from Folkestone to Cap Gris Nez in 13 and a half hours, a mark that would have been one of the top Channel swims of all time only a few decades ago. It also shattered his own 24-hour-swim prediction. "Ive done this for myself, for my family, and for all those who have suffered tragedy and lost their taste for life," he said. Croizon's father said that he was blessed with favorable winds and—no I'm not making this up—a pod of watchful dolphins, who apparently joined him for some of the swim. He lost his arms and legs in an electrical accident as a steelworker, so Croizon swims his own way. He attaches long flippers to the stumps of his legs and steering pieces to the stumps of his arms. He also wears a mask and a snorkel to breath. IAN MURRAY And to think that I used to cramp up during swim tests. CRIMINAL OR DREAMER? Julious Threats (aptly named) either has a serious problem, or more guts than your average identity thief. BY MAX ROTHMAN mrothman@kansan.com All the 21-year-old wanted was a little time to shine... against 13 and 14-year-olds. Threats signed up for the Town N' Country Packers of the Tampa Bay Youth Football League under the pseudonym Chad Jordan. He also tried to enroll in Webb Middle School in Hillsborough, Fla., but was rejected because of a lack of identification. The Town N' Country Packers caught on to Threatts' game too, and he was eventually sent to the local county jail. He was booked on charges of trespassing on school grounds and obstruction by a dismused person. Now this kid is clearly a little delusional, going as far as seeking enrollment in a middle school. But then there's the other side: the side of the dreamer. When's the last time that you've attended a little kids' sporting event? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you stepped into that game and had your chance to dominate, you know, just for a good ole time? When I used to go to my little brother Troy's baseball games, I couldn't help but think about this. A 45 mph meatball... crushed! What about hooping against kids half your size? Swat! See ya later basketball, the '5'11" white Shaq is in the house! In Threatt's case, he just wanted to run over kids half his size. And it might be wrong—check that, it is wrong—but I can't blame him for wanting to do it. I can blame him for actually going through with it, but even 5'11" white Shaqs can dream.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Toronto assured itself of at least a .500 finish and temporarily denied the Yankees the chance to clinch a playoff berth. A Boston loss later Monday would also send New York into the post-season. Mark Teixeira hit a three-run homer and Curtis Granderson added a two-run drive for the Yankees, who have lost five of six. The Blue Jays lead the major leagues with 243 home runs this season, one shy of the team record set in 2000.

He landed awkwardly on the bag while getting back to first base The first baseman and MVP candidate leads the majors with 126 RBIs, is tied for second in the AL with 38 homers and is third with a .328 batting average. on a pickoff attempt in the seventh inning.

Travis Hafner hit a three-run shot with two outs for a 5-2 lead. Carlos Carrasco (2-1) got the win despite allowing 11 hits and three runs over six innings. The Indians have won four straight and snapped Detroit's fourgame winning streak. The Tigers have lost six straight in Cleveland and were counting on Galarraga to end that slide. Galarraga had been nearly unhittable against Cleveland until the fifth. On June 2, he lost his bid for a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning on an infield single by Cleveland's Jason Donald. TV replays showed Donald was out and that ampire Jim Joyce blew the call. On Aug. 20, Galarraga struck out eight over seven innings in a 6-0 win over the Indians. LaPorta's shot was the first run and only the fifth hit by Cleveland off Galarraga in 20 innings this season. Detroit has won eight of 11, with all the losses charged to Galarraga.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jarrod Dyson hit his first major league home run and caught 10 fly balls in center field, helping the Kansas City Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 10-8 Monday night. Dyson also tied a team record for putouts by an outfielder. Amos Otis (1979) and Carlos Beltran (1998) also had 10 each. Josh Fields hit a two-run homer and rookie Lucas May drove in three runs for Kansas City. Austin Jackson hit a leadoff double in the inning. With two outs, the Indians intentionally walked Cabrera, who had homered in his previous three games. It was the 32nd intentional pass issued to Cabrera this season, two short of the AL record set by Ted Williams in 1957.

Beshears Saturday's performance earned Beshears the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week award. WWW.KANSAN.COM PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE Wilson's offensive role secure Senior receiver's performance offers him more roles in games PAGE 10A WK BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway Frustrated and held without a meaningful reception in the season's first three games, senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson never lost sight of the big picture. Wilson had three catches for 57 yards, including a 3rd yard grab on the Jayhawks' first scoring drive, and finally became a player in the offensive game plan. Wilson Part of Wilson's increased involvement can be attributed to the development of freshman SILVERBERG quarterback Jordan Webb, who finished with 249 yards passing and a touchdown against the Aggies. "He's grown up a lot in the past couple of weeks," Wilson said. "I have to be patient with him because sometimes I got frustrated in the first couple of weeks. I wanted him to make more plays for the team but he just wasn't there. You just have to keep building him up with confidence." Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE PHOTO At times this season, Wilson seemed invisible in the Jayhawks' dink-and-dunk, screen first offense. In the first two games he totaled only 49 yards on eight receptions. Continuing to stretch the field as they did against the Aggies will be critical to the team's performance in Big 12 play, Wilson said. Wilson was targeted three times in the jayhawks $ ^{4} $ 99-yard scoring drive late in the third quarter that gave the team a four score margin. That drive, in addition to zero turnovers for the second week in a row, shows a developing cohesiveness on offense, coach Turner Gill said. "We need some shots down field to back them up," Wilson said. "Our short passing game is great, guys can make plays, but we needed to take some shots downfield." "I think that just shows execution," Gill said of the drive. "Again, they made plays when they had to." Cohesiveness is probably the last word one would have used to describe the lahawks after their season-opening 6-3 loss to North Dakota State. This offense has grown up in the last month, Wilson said. "It's a different offense," Wilson said. "We just have to be more consistent. We have our ups and downs, but I think we'll compete in the Big 12." With senior running back Angus Quigley and sophomore quarterback Kale Pick now backing up their freshman contemporaries, it is easy to see a scenario where Wilson fades into the background of the Jayhawk offense. But the senior from Houston, Texas is not ready to let that happen. Edited by Leslie Kinsman "Everything's new." Wilson said. "We have to get used to each other,used to the coaches and used to the types of things they do. We just had to feel them out,and I think we're starting to mesh now." Senior wide receiver Johnathan Wilson is wrapped up by New Mexico State defensive back Davon House during the first quarter. Wilson caught three receptions for 57 yards and the Jayhawks improved to 2-2 for the season after defeating New Mexico State Saturday night.

Edited by Roshni Oommen COMMENTARY BY MAX VOSBURGH Freshman QB takes reins, leads offense Quarterback Jordan Webb has done an outstanding job in his first three games as starter for the Jayhawks. As far as the Kansas football team is concerned, there are few things that are clearer. He is the future of this team. After a 42-16 victory against New Mexico State, who really knows what to expect heading into Big 12 play Saturday against Baylor? Through its first four games, Kansas has looked great in two victories and terrible in two losses. A lot of question marks remain as to how this team will play in conference games, but at least this summer's biggest question has been answered. Webb has established himself as the starting quarterback for this team. "He's grown up a lot in the past couple of weeks," wide receiver Johnathan Wilson said. Coach Turner Gill had a tough decision to make. All summer he had to choose between a guy with miniscule experience and a guy with absolutely no experience. Although Kale Pick ended up winning the starting quarterback position a couple weeks before the season started, Gill wasn't afraid to rotate Webb in either. Give credit to Gill for acknowledging Webb's talent and not simply handing the starting job to Pick, as many people figured Pick would start anyways. "It was great. We all knew what we were capable of," he said."We came out and executed well.We left a few points on the board,which is disappointing, but overall we played a pretty good game." Despite scoring a season high 42 points against New Mexico State, Webb wasn't completely satisfied; he wanted more. Through three games as the starter, Webb has led the Jayhawks to a 2-1 record. He has completed 57 of 93 passes for 625 yards and has thrown five touchdowns to only one interception. Perhaps one of the most admirable qualities about Webb is his competitiveness. He prides himself in being the guy that talks a lot on the sideline, pumping up his teammates. His passion on the field is obvious. A video of Webb laying out senior Georgia Tech linebacker Anthony Egbuniwe after a handoff to running back James Sims has been making its way around YouTube. Webb's performance so far this season is even more impressive when you consider that he is a freshman quarterback and has only played in four college games. Things will get tougher as the season progresses and the level of competition increases but the non-conference numbers suggest he is right on par with his counterparts. Through four games, Webb's passer rating of 133.33 is better than three of the Big 12 starting quarterbacks he will face this season.

REDISCOVERING OLD DISCOVERIES Mysteries of KU's history on display Little-known archives reveal glimpses into school's past BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com On the top floor of the Anschutz Research Library sits a gray box in the corner of a small storage room. The box contains a glass jar inside of which rests a vial filled with a jagged, black metal. The uranium sample was donated by Clark Bricker, an accomplished chemistry professor at the University from 1963 to 1983, according to the description. He collected it while studying "the purity of uranium in connection with the Manhattan Project" as a student at Princeton University. The word "uranium" is hand-written on the vial. A brief description taped to the jar explains all that is known about its origins. Brittler died on June 14, 1994, according to a University press release. Though the uranium sample remains radioactive, health physicist Michael Lemon said in an e-mail it contained "much less uranium than some of the orange Fiestaware on a shelf at an antique store." "Only Dr. Clark would know the exact place where he collected it and its interest to him," said Lemon, who was contacted two years ago to test the sample for radioactivity. "We all pick up trophies along the way, and this particular piece has a story to tell." The same can be said for the hundreds of other artifacts located in the University Archives. The archives houses some of the University's most unique — and largely forgotten — relics. PIGS' FEET AND BOLSHEVIKS Much like the uranium sample, many of the artifacts are equally fascinating and unusual. There's the preserved pig foot that once belonged to L.L. Dyche, a turn-of-the-century KU professor and avid taxidermist for whom Dyche Hall was named. There's the rusted metal shell of a time capsule. its deteriorated content fills an adjacent cardboard box: illegible newspaper clippings, crumbling letters and the tattered threads of what appeared to have been a scarf. VOLUME 123 ISSUE 30 University Daily Kansan in 1921 by Conrad Hoffman, a KU alumnus. Hoffman found the hand-carved Jayhawk while working in a Bolshevik prison camp in Germany. Or maybe it was the handiwork of a former KU student who had found himself interned in a prison camp, the editor hypothesizes in the letter. "The only other solution is that at some time or other a genuine Jayhawk lived," the letter continues. "And that the image was made from a fossil." PIECES OF HISTORY Although visitors to the archives will undoubtedly come across both the strange and unusual, so too will they see a glimpse of the University's past. Slide rules, pigskin footballs, and an engineering uniform from the 1920s are reminiscent of bygone eras. Plaques and trophies serve as reminders of past successes, including one from the 1926 Missouri Valley Glee Club Contest and another presented by President John E. Kennedy in 1962. "They help to document the activities of students," Schulte said. "You can get a flavor of what life at KU was like by looking at some of these artifacts." Other artifacts provide a glimpse into the lives of past chancellors: one of W. Clark Wescoe's cigars; Francis Snow's pocket watch and key; and John Fraser's Civil War uniform and two sabers. Whitney Baker, conservator for KU Libraries said exploring the archives could bring a deeper dimension to a student's experience at the University. "There's a lot of stories there," Baker said. "It can really bring KU to life."

MEN'S GOLF | 8A P SAFETY The intersection at 11th Street and West Campus Road is commonly travelled. Students have encouraged the University to develop a safer walkway. Dangerous road paves the way for pedestrian accidents BY GARTH SEARS gsears@kansan.com "The first thing our teacher did was warn us about this intersection," she said. "Everybody was talking about the easiest way to cross without getting killed." When Jessica Horn's class moved to northwest campus, her teacher had one warning for the students. That dangerous intersection is the meeting point of 11th Street and West Campus Road. For the most part, West Campus Road is charming. It starts northward at the Chi Omega fountain, Although there is a designated path for pedestrians to walk toward the Triangle fraternity, they don't always use it. The road winds around JRP and becomes eastbound 11th Street heading downhill toward Memorial Stadium, essentially designed for confusion. 4. passes fraternities and sororities along the left side and nears JRP Hall on the right side. At this point, the road loses all of its appeal. "It's almost lucky if you get across, OK," Horn, a freshman from Hoyt, said. "A lot of the drivers aren't paying attention." So, a driver coming up the hill from Memorial Stadium would be free to bend left onto West Campus Road, while a car one directly faced would have to stay at a stop sign until traffic cleared. Drivers new to the intersection are often puzzled, which only adds to the confusion and timidness of walkers. The drivers are confused by the intersection, too. Although there are four places for cars to turn, the right of way is L-shaped, going along the bend. 空 SEE CROSSWALK ON PAGE 3A / NEWS / WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY "The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."

SEPTEMBER 29. 2010 / NEWS / 3A HEALTH Medical clinic awarded grant BY JUSTINE PATTON jpatton@kansan.com The Heartland Medical Clinic at the Leo Center, 1 Riverfront Plaza, recently received a grant to provide nine Americorps members, most of whom have either graduated from or are currently enrolled at the University of Kansas, with the opportunity for real-life experience and training in the medical field. Stewart said 74 percent of patients who visit their doctors have something more than just physical illness and Americorps members strive to fill in the needs left after the 15 minutes with their doctors have elapsed. Jon Stewart, the executive director of the Leo Center, said the grant would allow the Americorps members to try to change the way their patients look at health care. Often people go to the doctor because they are sick. However, Stewart said it's important to educate patients that the best way to treat sickness is to stop it before it starts. The Heartland Medical Clinic is staffed with individuals whose goal is to provide medical care to those with poor or no insurance. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," Stewart said. Jenny Davidson, a KU student who works in the diabetes care and prevention program, said the clinic staff tried to provide support that goes beyond the prescription. She said often patients who have just received a diabetes diagnosis come to her stressed and confused. "It's a feeling of 'What do I do now?' and that's sort of where we fit in." Davidson said. "To provide that support for them." Megan Foster, another KU student and Americorps member who works at the diabetes care and prevention program, said one of her favorite parts of her job was providing medications to patients who were having trouble affording it previously. "It's really awesome to see how grateful they are for a place to go and get these supplies," Foster said. "They're kind of in amazement when we walk in with a bag of stuff worth hundreds of dollars a month, and it's really cool to see." Mavarro often interacts with patients who want to quit smoking. The patients she works with are often under a lot of stress and have a lot of other things going on in their lives, she said. Mavarro said she was constantly amazed by the motivation she observes in her patients. Sonya Mavarro, who is a student at the University of Kansas Medical Center and works in the wellness program, said the experiences she had at the Heartland Medical Clinic go beyond anything she could get anywhere else. "Sometimes I think I might even be a little more excited than them when they stop smoking," Mavarro said with a laugh. - Edited by Tim Dwyer Plan funds higher education at KU BOARD OF REGENTS BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com In response to the growing need for a more educated workforce, the Kansas Board of Regents proposed a $21.2 million program on Sept. 15 to help solve critical engineering and nursing shortages in Kansas. The program is calling for $14.15 million to be provided to higher education through state funds. The remaining $7.1 million would come from participating college and universities. If the plan is passed by the Kansas Legislature in 2011, it will include a much-needed investment in the expansion of engineering graduates from the University of Kansas, Wichita State University and Kansas State University. This expansion will increase to 1,365 graduates annually, a 56 percent increase from the average 875 graduates. Stuart Bell, dean of the School of Engineering, said the strength of the Kansas economy was dependent on the engineering field. He said the additional funding would serve the needs of the state. Bell said that the money from the plan would likely be allocated toward larger classrooms and additional faculty and staff. This would help accommodate the expected increase in engineering students at the University. "Engineering continues to be a driving factor in Kansas' economic health," Bell said. As technology becomes more integrated into our lives, Bell said, the reliance on engineering, technical and information sectors will only increase. The need for higher education will become even more essential, he said. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, increasing the nation's average level of education by one year could increase economic growth by 6 to 15 percent. This would add between $600 billion and $1.5 trillion to the U.S. economic output. This was one factor in the Regents' decision to raise funding for higher education, since the board believes the effect would be similar in Kansas. Engineering, which is very important to the state of Kansas, plays a large role in the education funding movement. In 2006, one third of Kansas' $39 billion workforce payroll was tied to the engineering and technology fields, according to the Kansas Abstract. In addition, two-thirds of Kansas' top 25 exports in 2008 were engineering-related commodities. Michael Wade Smith, student body president, said the program was a great step for student success, and that it should help support many of Kansas' main economic producers. "If we commit more money to our programs, firms will be able to hire more Kansas graduates and improve the state's labor force." Smith said. The other major Universityrelated aspect of the Regents' proposal is the benefit to the University of Kansas Medical Center. In addition to adding 50 more slots for nursing students, the initiative will also expand the Kansas Medical Student Loan Program by 22 slots. Barbara Atkinson, executive vice chancellor of the Medical Center, said the plan would increase the number of primary care physicians in Kansas and provide more nurses to counter a statewide shortage. It has been projected that the state will need more than 6,000 new nursing jobs by 2014, and Atkinson said actions like this are vital going forward. "Every little bit helps," she said.

He said he was always cautious when he crosses the street. He called the intersection "a blatant free for all." CROSSWALK (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Jenna Mittelmeier, a senior from lola, said she walked to school from the other side of the Triangle house — from Ninth Street and Michigan Street — which limits her route options. “There’s no other way besides crossing this road,” she said. “It makes you a little nervous.” In 2004, through the Campus Safety Advisory board, students requested that the University of Kansas figure out a different crosswalk or good alternative. Since that time, the University has been working on and off with the city, which is responsible for the streets, to find a solution. Last month, the University sent a letter to Dave Corliss, Lawrence's city manager, asking the him to initiate a study of the area to "determine safe alternatives for pedestrian crossing." "We want them to evaluate it with a fresh set of eyes," said Jim Modig, director of design and construction management at the University. The original 2004 student request asked the University to provide a lit path beyond the Triangle fraternity, as if West Campus Road extended straight for walkers. Modig said that never materialized because of the complications of trying to install University lighting and material on private property — the fraternity. prioritize how important this intersection is to address. This information was included in last month's letter to the city. The City Commission has sent the task to staff, meaning the city is only beginning to schedule when they will have an answer by. In 2008, officials from the University, city and local neighborhood met to discuss crosswalk options along both roads. As a result, the city asked the University for pedestrian counts. The University then used an engineering student to generate the count, which will be used by the city to analyze traffic, as well as to Modig said the process can take a long time, and not only on the city's end. For example, once the University knew it needed pedestrian counts, it had to wait for the next semester to start, so that assessments would be correct. Waiting is further compounded by the neighborhood, which will have input with any decision the city makes. In the original 2004 request, nearby people opposed the new lamps as light pollution. Now that the University has sent in the pedestrian count and requested city attention, it's up to the city to propose a plan for the intersection. Edited by Emily McCoy ASSOCIATED PRESS More drunken drivers charged with murder SANTA ANA, Calif. — While rookie Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart was pitching six scoreless innings in the game of his career, Andrew Gallo spent hours bar-hopping. Gallo, 23, had a prior drunken driving conviction when he killed Adenhart and two of his friends in a high-speed crash in Orange County. He also had received a written warning from the court that if he drove again and killed someone while under the influence, he could be charged with murder. That made all the difference for jurors, who took little more than a day to find Gallo guilty of three counts of second-degree murder rather than manslaughter. It was the 11th time in two years that a defendant was convicted of murder in the county for killing someone while driving drunk. The verdict Monday against Gallo cemented the conservative county's reputation as a leader in the nationwide trend of prosecuting drunken drivers for murder.

Yet Eisenberg genuinely seems more panicked than excited by any acclaim. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — When Jesse Eisenberg arrived at his West Hollywood hotel last week, only an hour off a plane and with a bulky duffel bag slung over his shoulder, he seemed irritated. And he was, because the night before he had accidentally caught the last 30 seconds of "The Social Network," in which he stars as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, before a question-and-answer session about the movie in Chicago. He had been trying to avoid it because he does not like to watch his own performances. his own performance. "I've been so furious this whole morning about what I did in that scene," he said almost immediately after sitting down at the Sunset Marquis' restaurant. "It's just uncomfortable to watch me. Not in the same way that it's uncomfortable to listen to your voice on an answering machine. I just felt that I didn't get the scene right." a week — I immediately think that there could be nothing worse than getting that kind of attention," he said, removing his smudged glasses and digging his hands into the pockets of his sweatshirt. "Because, how can you maintain that kind of level of interest and attention? And I really have worked hard and done well in other things that have gotten no attention. So it makes you feel like those kind of things are inconsistent." "The Social Network" is Network" is clearly Eisenberg's most highprofile film to date. After attracting notice five years ago in Noah Baumbach's Oscar-nominated family drama "The Squid and the Whale," he has starred in a variety of quirky projects, including the action-adventure-comedy "Zombieland" opposite Woody Harrelson and "Holy Rollers," about Eestasy-smuggling Hasidic Jews that grossed just over $300,000 at the box office. $300,000 at the Sotheby's Auction When Eisenberg first read Aaron Sorkin's script for "The Social Network," he knew nothing about Facebook. He didn't have a Facebook profile. He didn't know who Zuckerberg was. So after he was cast, he immediately tried to meet the CEO, who comes off in the movie as a power-hungry, terse tech whiz who steals the idea for Facebook from some fellow Harvard students. "I've been so furious this whole morning about what I did in that scene." Harvard students "I was hoping to meet him. To me, that was the first thing to do, playing somebody who's not only alive, but contemporary." JESSE EISENBERG "The Social Network" actor Eisenberg said. "And that was an impossibility." (Facebook has said it did not cooperate with Sony or the filmmakers and Zuckerberg has said he will not see the film, which he describes as "fiction." With only a month to prepare, Eisenberg went to Plan B: He cured images and videos of Zuckerberg. He made an audio file with excerpts of Zuckerberg's interviews and speeches and put them on his iPod, listening constantly to get into the character's mind-set. He knew Zuckerberg was an expert fencer with "unnaturally straight" posture, so he took lessons to work on isolating the upper half of his body. Sorkin and director David Fincher insisted they didn't want the actors to do perfect impressions of their real-life counterparts. GRAND OPENING SUNDAY, OCT. 3 "It wasn't important to us that Jesse do an impersonation of Mark Zuckerberg," Sorkin said in an e-mail. "Jesse came to work knowing the scene he had to do that day, and how he prepared — whether it was listening to Mark's voice, fencing or standing on his head — was entirely up to him." 785.842.9999 4000 W 6th, Suite C Lawrence, KS 66049 (In shopping center at Monterey and 6th) First 50 customers with this ad get a free gift! $5 OFF may not be combined with any other offers.

Michele plays it cool, greeting him casually. But as Stamos passes, the reaction that has shaded him throughout his career reveals itself. "Oh, my God. That's Uncle Jesse." Michele's friend says in a muffled voice. Actually, it's John Stamos. But the character he's best known for is never too far behind. The dark-haired star achieved hearthrob status while developing his comedy chops on the decidedly lowbrow "Full House," a hit sitcom that ran for eight seasons in the late '80s and early '90s — and continues its wholesome influence in syndication.

NICK SAMBULAK GUEST COLUMN Time for death penalty to die This past Thursday marked the first time a woman was put to death in the United States in five years. A decade after successfully plotting the death of her husband and stepson, Teresa Lewis finally received so-called justice. This execution has not come In 2009,52 inmates were without some outcry from international sources, which use Lewis' low IQ to argue lightening her punishment to life in prison executed in 11 states, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice. Currently, 35 states allow the death penalty, with the most usually occurring in Texas. However, while the number being executed seems fairly low, the total population of inmates on death row is much instead. However, among those who spoke out against her execution was America's favorite anti-Semite/conspiracy theorist, Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who complained of the West's double standard about executions. About 6,000 miles away in Tehran, a woman sits on death row. This woman, Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, was sentenced in 2006 for adultery. Unlike Lewis' painless execution, Ashtiani would have been stoned to death had it not been put on hold since July. Is dying really much of a punishment for these people? He's alluding, of course, to a current situation in his country of Iran. For Mr. Ahmadinejad, these two crimes are apparently comparable, and he finds it outrageous for our media to decry Ashtiani's execution and not Lewis. While obviously spouting entertaining, anti-American rhetoric like usual, he does make me wonder again if it's time we rethink our capital punishment laws. higher. death row, all waiting an average of 10 years, like Lewis experienced. This may not seem like a big deal until you take into account the massive cost required. higher. As of January of this year, there were more than 3,000 inmates waiting on According to the Death Penalty Information Center, it costs California taxpayers $90,000 a year to keep a convict on death row, nearly double the average cost of a normal inmate at $47,000. With 697 criminals currently residing there, this adds up to $62,730,000 a year - simply so we can kill them. Beyond the economic reasons to abolish the death penalty, one must not forget the moral and political implications of it as well, which for many people is the driving force behind their protests. In fact, the death penalty was suspended by the Supreme Court in 1972, which said the penalty violated the Eighth Amendment by being cruel and unusual punishment. Sounds like a pretty big waste of money to me, especially in this economy. Of course, being the violence- fueled culture we are, the death For a country that prides itself on being fairly advanced, this makes us seem pretty damn backward among the rest of the world. Beyond all this, though, there's always been one point that has upset me about the death penalty, and it's the main reason I want it abolished. penalty resumed only four years later. Our use of it to this day makes us one of only 58 countries and the only other permanent member of the U.N.Security Council besides China to still use it on a regular basis. Is dying really much of a punishment for these people? These are society's scum, either having taken others' lives or committing treason against the U.S., yet they get a chance to really escape what they've done. Instead of suffering in a prison cell, dealing with other inmates and living with their actions, they instead only live in confinement on death row for a few years and then it's over. This seems much more of an escape than a punishment, and while unconstitutional, I'd rather see them suffer far more. So while we hope Ashtiani does not have to suffer death by stoning in Iran, I say it is time to change our own system as well. Punish these people with something far worse than the freedom of death, and stop wasting money to support them in such bad economic times From Uwire. Zachary Davis for The Daily Reveille at Louisiana State University. HUMOR Cartoons provide fun time and short escape from life Man, you know what more boring than watching a bunch of "Grey's Anatomy" or "The Secret Life of the American Teenager?" I would know, because I was both of those things once. And as Doctor Teenager, I have a prescription for you: cartoons. Nothing! Both of those shows are melodramatic and poorly executed renditions of what it's like to be a doctor or a teenager. In my professional opinion, people - especially college students - need to just relax every so often and watch a cartoon. They are not tigh class. They are not usually a straight narrative. They are low-key, and they open your mind. Also, cartoons are all the hipster-rage. Cartoon Network, in particular, is in a sort of cartoon-renaissance - not unlike the cartoon-renaissance Nickelodeon was in when we were just impressionable children watching those horrifically disgusting "Ren & Stimpy" cartoons. Cartoon Network is churning out stuff that's absurd and hilarious enough to interest a 30-year-old. In April, they premiered "Adventure Time." "Adventure Time" is a lot like if you let an 11 year old who's played tons of Zelda and Mario have a bunch of Mountain Dew, and be DM a game of Dungeons & Dragons. The show's about a kid and his magically-stretchy dog who live in The Land of Ooo and fight dragons and monsters to save people. Cartoon Network has since premiered "Regular Show" and "MAD" Hilarious comedians Maria Bamford, Steve Agee and Brian Posehn have already stopped by to lend their voice talents to the show. I don't want to confuse, scare or make you spit your coffee all over the underground, but the uddities That sounds so much more interesting than watching Sandra Oh scowl for forty minutes, right? BY CHANCE CARMICHAEL "MAD" is Mad Magazine's contribution to the renaissance. It's a sketch-show that lampson pop culture and celebrities in several different styles of animation. It makes up for the awfulness of "MAD TV" in every way possible. Cartoon Network also has "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Chowder" which are too pretty fun to watch, and Disney seems to have finally made a stomachable cartoon in "Phineas and Ferb" (remember "Kim Possible" and "The Proud Family"? Those shows were pretty awful, you guys). The best part about most of these shows is that they're 12-to 15 minute ventures that don't require a lot of time or effort. They are funny, they are colorful, they are creative, and I believe that whether you're a business major or a fine arts major they will inspire you. Either way, there's nowhere else on earth you can see a gumball machine boss around a blue-jay and a raccoon. Thank God for cartoons, or TV land might just collapse in on itself from boringness and mediocrity. I'm looking at you, "Two and a Half Men" and every show Seth MacFarlane has ever made. Carmichael is a junior from Chatterbox "That argument only works if you ignore the scientifically proven benefit vs risk of both fields. All drugs and mainstream practices are vetted for scientific plausibility, so if there is risk, it is taken with the knowledge of the benefit probability. The same can't be said for fixing imaginary energy blockages upon which chiropractic is based. If there is no benefit outside of placebo, then ANY risk, especially that results in death, is far too high. Not even remotely comparable with recognized scientific medical practices." — "Tin_Man" in response to "Chiropractors break the back of honest science" on Sept. 28.

The reflections off these vivid candies were captured by a photo lens of marketing major Alan Ginsberg and now hang in a photo gallery in the Kansas Union. Student Union Activities gave Ginsberg, a senior from Great Neck, N.Y., the opportunity to showcase his photography for the first time in his photographic career two weeks ago. ©AGinsberg.com Yesterday he spoke about his collection, called "The Power of Light," in the Union gallery. "What you can do with light is just so amazing." Ginsberg said. Ginsberg bought a new digital single lens camera 18 months ago, and now, the photos he has taken on that camera are in a public gallery. He was interested in film prior to his experiments with photography, but found that his camera provided an easy transition into still photos. He said there are two sides to his photography. The vision, passion and inspiration provide for some of his photos. But some were just taken because they look cool, according to Ginsberg. "Sometimes there's just not much CONTRIBUTED PHOTO beeyond that," Ginsberg said. He has not been professionally taught, and said he wouldn't really know what to say if a critic threw out a technical term about a lightning mistake he had made. He does, however, have professional photographic lights and a more than able camera. SUA cultural arts coordinator, Sara Milla, said they gave Ginsberg the gallery because of the professional appearance of his photographs. "The fact that he has no training blows my mind," said Miller, a senior from St. Francis. Leah Levy, a senior from Chicago, has worked with Ginsberg for a year on his photography. She said although they really do not have a process for lighting, Ginsberg usually has a vision in his head and somehow they achieve it. With the falling gumballs, Ginsberg set up two lights on each side of a white bowl full of bright round candies. He then began dropping the gumballs, and somehow everything fell into place -- that photo has become one of the most popular in his gallery, he said. "We set up one or two lights and see how that looks," Levy said. "We just experiment from there." Four portraits of Kansas football player Rod Harris, Jr., wide receiver from Ryan, Texas, hang in one corner of the gallery. Ginsberg has worked with Harris several times. Harris is an aspiring hip-hop artist who said that Ginsberg was enjoyable to work with and could have a future in photography if he chose. "He knows what he wants," Harris said of Ginsberg. "You give him an idea and he can create it." Ginsberg wants to pursue a career on the creative side of marketing. He said he was not sure if he would have another photo gallery, but he would continue his passion for photography. He said he keeps it fun by having a flighty ritual at each of his photo shoots in which he captures each of his subject mid-leap. As if he wished that everyone he took pictures of were gumballs "THE POWER OF LIGHT" BY: Allen Ginsberg WHEN: On display through Friday, Oct. 1 WHERE: Gallery open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Edited by Kelsey Nill frozen in the air, he tells everyone after they've nailed the planned shot that there is only one thing left to do — "Now jump."

Chris Bronson/KANSAN Gunman opens fire at UT ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN, Texas — A student wearing a dark suit and a ski mask opened fire Tuesday with an assault rifle on the University of Texas campus before fleeing into a library and fatally shooting himself. No one else was hurt. The shooting began near a fountain in front of the UT Tower — the site of one of the nation's deadliest shooting rampages more than four decades ago, when a gunman ascended the clock tower and fired down on dozens of people. Within hours of Tuesday's gunfire, the school issued an all-clear notice, but the university remained closed, and the area around the library was still considered a crime scene. "Our campus is safe." school President Bill Powers said. Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo expected the school to be "completely open and back to normal" by Wednesday morning. Authorities identified the gunman as 19-year-old Colton Tooley, a sophomore Before reaching the library, the gunman apparently walked for several blocks wearing a mask and dark clothing and carrying an automatic weapon, witnesses said. about three hours after the campus shooting. After the gunfire, authorities searched for a possible second shooter, but they eventually concluded the gunman acted alone. Confusion about the number of suspects arose because shots were fired in multiple locations, and officers received varying descriptions from witnesses, campus police Chief Robert Dahlstrom said. The 50,000-student university had been on lockdown while officers with bomb-sniffing dogs carried out a building-by-building manhunt. Construction worker Ruben Cordoba said he was installing a fence on the roof of a three-story "I saw in his eyes he didn't care." RUBEN CORDOBA Witness building near the library when he looked down and made eye contact with the suspect. math major. Police declined to speculate on his motive. Tooley's parents did not immediately respond to a message left by The Associated Press. At his family's home in Austin, police investigators went in and out Tuesday afternoon carrying bags and boxes. There was no immediate word on what was in the containers. A neighbor said police arrived at the home "I saw in his eyes he didn't care," Cordoba said. The gun. man continued down the street, firing three shots toward a campus church, then changed direction and fired three more times into the air. Cordoba said. A garbage truck driver leaped out of his vehicle and ran away, as did a woman carrying two babies, the construction worker said. "I'm not scared, but I was scared for the people around me," Cordoba said. Help Us Celebrate!

Randall Wilhite, an adjunct law professor, said he was driving to class when he saw "students start scrambling behind wastebaskets, trees and monuments," and then a young man carrying an assault rifle sprinting along the street. "He was running right in front of me ... and he shot what I thought were three more shots ... not at me. In my direction, but not at me." Wilhite said. The professor said the gunman had the opportunity to shoot several people, but he did not. Police said it was unclear whether the gunman was targeting anyone with the AK-47. Oscar Trevino, whose daughter works on campus, said she told him she was walking to work near the library when she heard two shots behind her. She started to run and fell down. She said she later heard another shot. "She's freaking out. I'm trying to calm her down. I've just been telling her I love her and relax, everything's fine," Trevino said. Acevedo said officers were able to track the gunman's movements with the help of students who "kept pointing in the right direction." The police chief said he believes the gunman ran into the library as officers closed in on him, then shot himself in the head on the sixth floor. Police did not fire any shots, Acevedo said. In the middle-class Austin neighborhood where the Tooley family lives, the street was blocked off by yellow crime-scene tape Tuesday afternoon. Investigators were gathered in front of the home and could be seen coming out of a neighbor's house. Powers credited the school's crisis-management plan and social networking for quickly warning students, faculty and staff. The university's text messaging system reaches more than 43,000 people, he said. Laura Leskoven, a graduate student from Waco, said she was in a media management class when she received a text message from the university saying there was an armed person near the library. For the next 3½ hours, Leskoven and about 30 of her classmates sat in a locked conference room trying to keep tab on events through Twitter, blogs and text messages. "We were kind of shocked." Leskoven said. "Our professor said, 'Well, we need to get upstairs' because we were on the first floor of the building." Student Joshua Barajas said he usually is in the library in the mornings but was delayed Tuesday when he made a rare stop for coffee.

Wehrs leads the team in assists per set this season, but junior Nate Tale has been the starting settter recently. BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com The Missouri Tigers will visit Lawrence for the Border Showdown volleyball match tonight at 6:30 p.m. Kansas comes home after two losses on the road. Redshirt freshman Caroline Jarmoc said it was important that the jayhawks play at their own level and not wait to see what their opponent would bring to the match. "We always say we need to throw the first punch," she said. "I think, against Nebraska, the first set was really good. We were very calm and confident." Last Wednesday, Kansas won the first set against Nebraska for the first time in series history, only to see the Cornhuskers come back to win the next three sets and the match. The Jayhawks are 10-5 overall and 1-3 in conference play after dropping a five-setter to Colorado on Saturday, but still have a 7-2 record at home. The Jayhawks defeated Texas A&M 3-2 in their last home match on Sept. 18. The Kansas offense is led by junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield and senior outside hitter Karina Garlington. Mayfield reached a career-high 20 kills in the match at Colorado, and Garlington is eighth in the conference with a team-best 2.28 kills per set. Supporting the offense are freshman setter Kara Wehrs and junior setter Nicole Tate. Wehrs leads the team in assists per set, but Tate has started in the last two matches. SOFTBALL Eight new Jayhawks will take field in fall season opener Wednesday BY KATIE PRIEBE kpriebe@kansan.com Fall season is about to be underway for the Kansas softball team. With additional depth providing eight new faces — including three pitchers — the team is prepping hard for their fall season opener on Sept. 29 against Baker. Coach Megan Smith said the depth was something she is excited about. Smith said moving people around and trying new positions for players was something they didn't have the luxury of doing last year. We have added a lot of depth in the infield, which we needed. And a lot of depth 149 the mound, which we really needed, 1667- Smith said. The fall season is for the team to set individual, as well as group goals. Acquainting the new eight players with the rest of the team and building leadership is key to the F. H. Hile success of the fall season. Smith "It's a puzzle and we are trying to fit the pieces together. And that is what the fall is all about. Really seeing everyone in different positions with all of our depth, and where everything will fit together once January comes," Smith said. one of the strengths the team had demonstrated is the desire and passion to work hard on the field. Work ethic and communication are the team's strong points. Senior catcher Brittany Hile said she was focused on being a leader and developing the chemistry of the team. "I would really like our team to succeed in the Big 12. I want us to shine, while we are all still together. Just to have a great season and improve each and every game," Hile said. Hile said it's hard to believe it's her last year, but that she will stay focused on every pitch and inning of each game. The softball team has six fall season games all played in Lawrence.

"So, we'll have to be very aware, defensively, I think." Tate said that starting matches didn't change much for her, other than that she was warmed up. She has played with Mayfield and Garlington for years, and she said that contributed to a better connection between the setter and the hitters. "That definitely helps out with our offense." Tate said. As a St. Louis native, Tate said that the Border Showdown added significance. "Just being from there, like, everyone I know goes Mizzou, so I'm really excited to go out and play against them," Tate said. Bechard said that while the Border Showdown was exciting for both teams, the important point for the Jayhawks was to play well after a disappointing loss in Colorado. Missouri has already scored a victory in Kansas this week, toppling Kansas State in Manhattan on Saturday. The Tigers evened out their Big 12 record to 2-2 and improved to 10-4 overall. Missouri won in four sets, led by senior outside hitter Juliana Klein with 14 kills and junior middle hitter Brittney Brimage, who contributed 12 kills with a .346 efficiency.

Derek Jeter scored three runs and drove in another for the Yankees, who have reached the postseason every year but one since 1996. New York missed the playoffs in 2008, finishing behind Tampa Bay and Boston.

I'm not trying to be the best at exercising." — Kenny Powers in "Eastbound & Down" FACT OF THE DAY Season Two of HBO's "Eastbound & Down" premiered this Sunday. — imdb.com TRIVIA OF THE DAY Q: Which two characters have appeared in all seven episodes of "Eastbound & Down?" A: Kenny Powers, played by Danny McBride, and Stevie Janowski, played by Steve Little imdb.com Being an AD? Not that difficult MORNING BREW always thought being an athletics director would be pretty difficult. It seemed like a taxing gig working long hours and keeping track of an entire university's worth of football, basketball, soccer, volleyball and other teams. But I never assumed I'd get the chance to head up a major collegiate sports program — until now. Mike Kyle Facebook and ESPN have finally allowed this mediocre dream come true. This week, I discovered the new ESPNU College Town game on Facebook, which allows users to build their very own university along with an athletics program from scratch. An extremely chipper two-dimensional cheerleader kept firing instructions at me as soon as I arrived at my virtual campus. Needless to say, it was very unnerving. This cheerleader apparently expected me to singlehandedly guide this fledgling university to glory without any training at all. Simple curiosity, along with serious boredom, drew me into the game at first. But during my first night of playing this fascinating, realistic and purely academic simulation, I gained invaluable knowledge about how university athletics departments are run. I realized I was no Lew Perkins. Facebook gave me an awful campus, too. Unlike Kansas' interim athletics director, Sean Lester, I didn't inherit state-of-the art facilities and well-established teams. From my professional assessment, the entire campus consisted of three academic buildings, a junky football field and a basketball court that looked like a converted BY JOEL PETTERSON jpetterson@kansan.com parking lot. The football team was an embarrassment as it only had "JV" status, which I didn't know was even possible at the college level. THE MORNING BREW But I quickly gathered myself and set out building a Facebook College Town dynasty. As it turns out, running an entire college and its athletics department isn't difficult at all. Just a single hour after arriving on campus, the school had blossomed from zero to more than 200 students. We built a respectable football stadium and basketball court with bleachers and everything. The on-campus sandwich shop and student café were pumping funds into the athletics program. The school even gained enough notoriety to start a math department. When it came to actual athletics competitions, things went rough for a while. But once I realized wed been forfeiting every game because we hadn't started any players, the football team starting piling up the W's. I learned plenty about recruiting, too. College Town allowed me to experience the thrill of pursuing a top high school football player and woo him to the school. All in all, Facebook has taught me plenty about athletics administration at a major university. For example, monster truck rallies and theater productions at the football stadium can earn much more money than an actual game. And make sure you build a new basketball stadium before an English department, because a university can't grow without a solid foundation of big arenas. According to this scientific simulation, you can "buy" a top quarterback recruit for only 11,000 silver pieces. Who knew a fat check would go so far in sweetening a college roster? (This may have been slightly unrealistic; after all, tempting a high schooler with cash would never happen in reality, right? Right?) Finally, I don't want to brag, but I became a Level 5 athletics director in about 90 minutes. I never saw THAT on Perkins' résumé.

Pick broke his fibula on his second snap, but kept playing. Coaches say quarterback has the right attitude in his rehab BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway When backup sophomore quarterback Kale Pick finally saw the field for the first time in two weeks last Saturday, he would not let a little thing like a broken leg take him out. On his second snap, Pick suffered a broken left fibula late in the fourth quarter of the Kansas football team's 42-16 rout of New Mexico State on Saturday. Pick opted to stay in the game until the end. "I've never been taught to stay down on the ground or take myself out," Pick said. "I've always gotten up when I've been hit hard. I'd never take myself Dilal out." Pick Pick even rushed the ball once with the injury. sive coordinator, said. "I knew he was in pain, and he fought through it. I told Kale after the game, that goes a long way with your teammates." "I thought he displayed great toughness," Chuck Long, offen- It has been a rough season for the sophomore from Dodge City. After being named the starter for the season opener against North Dakota State, Pick was benched after only three quarters in favor of freshman quarterback Jordan Webb. Word began circulating that he was transferring, rumors that Pick denied on Wednesday "Its a different experience," Pick said. "Obviously, I want to be out there, but I'm not, so it's tough." Still, this year has been a series of unfortunate events for Pick. But he said he still was not done competing for the starting job. Webb admired the toughness shown by the player he replaced. "That's just a testament to the type of player he is," Webb said. "He's a tough guy, and I think it shows everybody just how tough he is. When he's out there, he's going to give it everything he's got, whether he's 100 percent or not." Pick said his recovery was going well and he may return earlier than the initial prognosis of three weeks. He knew immediately after he was hit that something had gone horribly wrong. "I was hoping it was just a really bad ankle sprain," Pick said. Now Pick will become a student on the sidelines, watching Long and how he coaches the offense. He also hopes to provide advice to the new backup quarterback, junior Quinn Mecham. Witnessing adversity at the quarterback position is not new for Long, who coached Heisman Trophy winner Jason White when he was out for two seasons rehabbing injuries in both knees. Long has used that example and an inspirational analogy he tells struggling quarterbacks, including Pick. "Kale's attitude has been really good, even after the injury," Long said. "He's been working with the rehab, trying to get back as fast as he can. And he's young. If he was a senior, it'd be a little tougher deal. But he's only a sophomore." When he returns to the backup role, there will be no hesitation to run, Pick said. He plans on using the same style that turned heads and earned him the starting job out of fall camp: full speed ahead. "I'm not going to try favoring it too much." Pick said. "I'm going to come back full tilt like I was before and run hard and aggressive. Hopefully I'm not favoring it too much if it's hurting me."

Kansas won the 12-team event Tuesday afternoon, and Thiry took first place among individuals, firing three consecutive rounds of one-over-par 73. BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com Senior golfer Grace Thiry placed first and led the Jayhawks to a first place finish Tuesday in the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational at the Alvamar Public Golf Course. Thiry was consistent, shooting a one-over-par 73 in each round of the tournament. "Grace has been close for a while now," coach Erin O'Neill said. "She has been playing real consistent. It was just a matter of time. She pulled it off today. She never got too rattled and kept hanging in there and ended up winning." Junior Katy Nugent, who transferred from Arkansas and played in just her second tournament as a Iavawk, "It's really great. I've been looking forward to this tournament since I signed here. It's always fun to play at home and it's great to play well for the team," Nugent said in a press release. The Jayhawks, who were in first after the first two rounds of the tournament, shot a 300 as a team in their final round Tuesday morning to bring their tournament total to 903. It was 10 strokes better than second place Arkansas-Little Rock, who shot 913 for the Invitational. It is the Jayhawks' first victory since Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN "She pulled it off today.

They prove something in college athletics: Talent can be found everywhere. It doesn't matter if you are a FBS, SEC or a Big 12 team. Come the weekend, anybody can win. Oklahoma, long-time Big 12 powerhouse, has squeaked by teams like Air Force from the Mountain West Conference and Utah State of the Western Athletic Conference. The Sooners only beat Air Force by three points and Utah State by a touchdown. Virginia Tech is the biggest example of a powerhouse falling to a mid-major team. Losing to Boise State in its season opener is justifiable, but then losing to James Madison of the Colonial Athletic Association justifies the point I am trying to make. Four weeks ago we had a different starting quarterback, different running backs and a different mindset. The win against Georgia Tech was a North Dakota-like moment for Kansas football, beating a ranked team when everyone thought their worst fears were going to come true. The struggles of Kansas football are not something to jump ship over and start following Alabama or Florida. For a team in transition with freshmen and sophomores making up a majority of the skill positions, 2-2 is pretty respectable. Sure, the loss to North Dakota State sent deserved shock waves and fearful chills down faithful Jayhawk backs, but that was basically a different Kansas team that day. Any school around the country can come out and compete on any given day. This was the reason for the NCAA basketball tournament expansion, and it is now happening in football. These small schools have kids who do not have the talent to play at bigger Division 1 schools yet 10 times the heart than some of the prima donnas getting full scholarships and having an NFL career guaranteed. From now on, Kansas needs to be that team like North Dakota State, a bunch of gritty guys playing the game because they love it and they want to show the Big 12 what a "new" program can do. That is how I think schools like Appalachian State can beat teams like Michigan. That is how South Dakota holds Nebraska to 17 points last week after the Cornhuskers averaged 46 points in their first three games. Some of the players from North Dakota State grew up in the middle of nowhere. In the freezing cold winters close to the Canadian border, and probably did some back breaking manual labor around a farm throughout high school. They are the kids who know how to work and they truly know how to give everything to a game and leave it all on the field. They don't play for a spotlight or for ESPN cameras . Remember: new coach, new quarterback and anybody can win. they play because they love the game and they want to topple a major school.

Reports of a person with a gun prompted authorities to block off and search the residence hall. COLLECTION ONLINE Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Pole police to enter Calhoun Hall at the University of Texas at Austin campus in Austin, Texas on Tuesday. A gunman opened fire Tuesday inside the Perry-Castaneda library, then fatally shot himself, and police are searching for a possible second suspect, university police said. BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR ASSOCIATED PRESS/THE DAILY TEKAN, TAMIR KALIFA smontemayor@kansan.com The University of Texas provided an example for the nation's colleges to review emergency response systems. The Texas administration's response helped inform students and faculty that a gutman was on the campus. "It looked like a textbook example of an outstanding response," said Marlesa Roney, vice provost of student success. On Tuesday, Colton Tooley, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Texas, carried an AK-47 with him across his campus and fired several times. Witnesses said Tooley did not appear to be firing at anyone. Police chased Tooley into the campus' largest library, where he shot himself. Witnesses first saw Tooley walking and shooting at 8:10 a.m. University of Texas administrators put the university on lockdown and posted emergency alerts through text messages, public address speakers and the Web at 8:23 a.m. Emergency sirens sounded at 8:30 a.m., 20 minutes before Tooley took his own life. Students, faculty and staff were permitted to leave campus at noon, with many receiving notifications by phone. Campus police, city police and eWAT team responded to the scene in Austin. Sergeant Matt Saran of the Lawrence Police Department said a similar response could be expected at the University of Kansas. Colleges nationwide increased their mobile notification systems fication process. JILL JESS University Relations "Please don't get to the point where you're not looking at them, because we send them out for a reason." in light of the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech in which 32 people were killed. More than two hours passed before students were formally told of the shooter on campus. The University's Twitter account worked to dispel rumors as Lawrence police were called in for assistance. On April 30 of this year, text messages informed students of a search for an armed suspect in a campus residence hall. The building was locked down and those outside were instructed to find a safe place to stav put. Clark said she didn't subscribe to text message alerts but would consider it. Less than a month after the Virginia Tech shooting, the University announced plans to include text messaging in its noti- The McCollum Hall search put the University's emergency response capabilities on display for public review. Cherae Clark, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., has worked the front desk and has been a resident assistant at McCollum for two years. The University's response was surprisingly quick that day, she said. The last text message alert sent Saran said the University requested assistance from Lawrence Police in April. The state highway patrol, nearby police departments and SWAT personnel are also available if needed, he said. "I don't know how often they send the alerts, but if they sent something every hour it would probably be more of a hassle than a benefit," Clark said. out was Aug. 26 to inform students of the temporary evacuation of Haworth Hall because of a hazardous materials spill. A May 2008 survey by the Midwestern Higher Education Compound found that before the Virginia Tech shooting, 5 percent of responding colleges said mobile phones were involved in emergency notifications. Of those that said they did not use text message alerts, 75 percent either implemented text alerts or planned to after the shooting. According to Roney, 17,794 KU students have provided informa tion to receive emergency text messages as of Sept. 22. That number accounts for all KU campuses. So far, 15,141 Lawrence campus students have signed up — about 57 percent of the 26,266 students who attend classes on the Lawrence campus. Jill liss, associate director for news and media relations, urged students to sign up for the service at alert.ku.edu and to not take the messages lightly. - Edited by David Cawthon "Please don't get to the point where you're not looking at them, because we send them out for a reason." Jess said. "And were not going to spam you." IN THE EVENT OF A SHOOTER OR THREAT OF ONE, THE UNIVERSITY RECOMMENDS: 1. Maintain awareness of the situation and environment around you; be prepared to take appropriate action. 5. Do not approach emergency responders, let them come to you. Keep your hands visible. 6. Remain under cover until the threat is passed or you have been advised by law enforcement that it is safe to exit. 2. Evacuate the area if you know that it is safe to do so. 3. If a threat presents itself, seek cover and barricade yourself (with others if possible) by placing as much material between you and the threat. Remain quiet and turn off lights. 4. As soon as it is safe to do so, notify authorities by calling 911 and provide as much information as possible. 7.

Coaches say quarterback has the right attitude in his rehab BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway When backup sophomore quarterback Kale Pick finally saw the field for the first time in two weeks last Saturday, he would not let a little thing like a broken leg take him out. On his second snap, Pick suffered a broken left fibula late in the fourth quarter of the Kansas football team's 42-16 rout of New Mexico State on Saturday. Pick opted to stay in the game until the end. "Ive never been taught to stay down on the ground or take myself out," Pick said. "I've always gotten up when I've been hit hard. Id never take myself Dick out." Pick Pick even rushed the ball once with the injury. sive coordinator, said. "I knew he was in pain, and he fought through it. I told Kale after the game, that goes a long way with your teammates." "I thought he displayed great toughness," Chuck Luck, offen- It has been a rough season for the sophomore from Dodge City. After being named the starter for the season opener against North Dakota State, Pick was benched after only three quarters in favor of freshman quarterback Jordan Webb. Word began circulating that he was transferring, rumors that Pick denied on Wednesday. Still, this year has been a series of unfortunate events for Pick. But he said he still was not done "It's a different experience," Pick said. "Obviously, I want to be out there, but I'm not, so it's tough." Webb admired the toughness shown by the player he replaced. "That's just a testament to the type of player he is," Webb said. "He's a tough guy, and I think it shows everybody just how touch he is. When he's out there, he's going to give it everything he's got, whether he's 100 percent or not." Pick said his recovery was going well and he may return earlier than the initial prognosis of three weeks. He knew immediately after he was hit that something had gone horribly wrong. "I was hoping it was just a really bad ankle sprain," Pick said. Now Pick will become a student on the sidelines, watching Long and how he coaches the offense. He also hopes to provide advice to the new backup quarterback, junior Quinn Mecham. Witnessing adversity at the quarterback position is not new for Long, who coached Heisman Trophy winner Jason White when he was out for two seasons rehabbing injuries in both knees. Long has used that example and an inspirational analogy he tells struggling quarterbacks, including Pick. "Kale's attitude has been really good, even after the injury," Long said. "He's been working with the rehab, trying to get back as fast as he can. And he's young. If he was a senior, it'd be a little tougher deal. But he's only a sophomore." When he returns to the backup role, there will be no hesitation to run, Pick said. He plans on using the same style that turned heads and earned him the starting job out of fall camp: full speed ahead. "I'm not going to try favoring it too much." Pick said. "I'm going to come back full tilt like I was before and run hard and aggressive. Hopefully I'm not favoring it too much if it's hurting me."

Thiry was consistent, shooting a one-over-par 73 in each round of the tournament. Senior Grace Thiry tees off Monday afternoon at Alvamar Golf Club during the Marilynn Smith Invitational. Kansas won the 12-team event Tuesday afternoon, and Thiry took first place among individuals, firing three consecutive rounds of one-over-par 73. "Grace has been close for a while now," coach Erin O'Neil said. "She has been playing real consistent. It was just a matter of time. She pulled it off today. She never got too rattled and kept hanging in there and ended up winning." "I's really great. I've been looking forward to this tournament since I signed here. It's always fun to play at home and it's great to play well for the team," Nugent said in a press release. Junior Katy Nugent, who transferred from Arkansas and played in just her second tournament as a lawhawk. The Jayhawks, who were in first after the first two rounds of the tournament, shot a 300 as a team in their final round Tuesday morning to bring their tournament total to 903. It was 10 strokes better than second place Arkansas-Little Rock, who shot 913 for the Invitational. It is the Jayhawks' first victory since Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN shot the lowest single round of the tournament with a three underpar 69 on Monday afternoon.

Edited by Clark Goble Check out an online photo gallery of the invitational at kansan.com COMMENTARY BY NICOLAS ROESLER --- Turner Gill is taking the Kansas football team. They prove something in college athletics: Talent can be found everywhere. It doesn't matter if you are a FBS, SEC or a Big 12 team. Come the weekend, anybody can win. Two losses shouldn't affect how fans think about the direction Underdog role might suit Hawks quite well Oklahoma, long-time Big 12 powerhouse, has squeaked by teams like Air Force from the Mountain West Conference and Utah State of the Western Athletic Conference. The Sooners only beat Air Force by three points and Utah State by a touchdown. Four weeks ago we had a different starting quarterback, different running backs and a different mindset. The win against Georgia Tech was a North Dakota-like moment for Kansas football, beating a ranked team when everyone thought their worst fears were going to come true. The struggles of Kansas football are not something to jump ship over and start following Alabama or Florida. For a team in transition with freshmen and sophomores making up a majority of the skill positions, 2-2 is pretty respectable. Sure, the loss to North Dakota State sent deserved shock waves and fearful chills down faithful Jayhawk backs, but that was basically a dif ferent Kansas队 that day. Virginia Tech is the biggest example of a powerhouse falling to a mid-major team. Losing to Boise State in its season opener is justifiable, but then losing to James Madison of the Colonial Athletic Association justifies the point I am trying to make. Any school around the country can come out and compete on any given day. This was the reason for the NCAA basketball tournament expansion, and it is now happening in football. These small schools have kids who do not have the talent to play at bigger Division 1 schools yet 10 times the heart than some of the prima donnas getting full scholarships and having an NFL career guaranteed. Some of the players from North Dakota State grew up in the middle of nowhere. In the freezing cold winters close to the Canadian border, and probably did some back breaking manual labor around a farm throughout high school. They are the kids who know how to work and they truly know how to give everything to a game and leave it all on the field. They don't play for a spotlight or for ESPN cameras they play because they love the game and they want to topple a major school. That is how I think schools like Appalachian State can beat teams like Michigan. That is how South Dakota holds Nebraska to 17 points last week after the Cornhuskers averaged 46 points in their first three games. From now on, Kansas needs to be that team like North Dakota State, a bunch of gritty guys playing the game because they love it and they want to show the Big 12 what a "new" program can do. Remember: new coach,new quarterback and anybody can win.

Campus response plan is effective STATE POLICE A Kansas State Trooper communicates with other officers outside of McColum Hall early on April 30. Reports of a person with a gun prompted authorities to block off and search the residence hall. University of Texas shooting displays benefits of emergency response system Tanner Grubbs/KANSAN FILE PHOTO Police prepare to enter Calhoun Hall at the University of Texas at Austin campus in Austin, Texas on Tuesday. A gunman opened fire Tuesday inside the Perry-Castanda library, then fatally shot himself, and police are searching for a possible second suspect, university police said. ASSOCIATED PRESS/THE DAILY TEKAN, TAMIR KALLIFA BY STEPHEN MONTEMAYOR smontemayor@kansan.com The University of Texas provided an example for the nation's colleges to review emergency response systems. The Texas administration's response helped inform students and faculty that a gutman was on the campus. "It looked like a textbook example of an outstanding response," said Marlesa Roney, vice provost of student success. 'On Tuesday, Colton Tooley, a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Texas, carried an AK-47 with him across his campus and fired several times. Witnesses said Tooley did not appear to be firing at anyone. Police chased Tooley into the campus' largest library, where he shot himself. Witnesses first saw Tooley walking and shooting at 8:10 a.m. University of Texas administrators put the university on lockdown and posted emergency alerts through text messages, public address speakers and the Web at 8:23 a.m. Emergency sirens sounded at 8:30 a.m., 20 minutes before Tooley took his own life. Students, faculty and staff were permitted to leave campus at noon, with many receiving notifications by phone. Campus police, city police and a SWAT team responded to the scene in Austin. Sergeant Matt Saran of the Lawrence Police Department said a similar response could be expected at the University of Kansas. Colleges nationwide increased their mobile notification systems fication process. The University's Twitter account worked to dispel rumors as Lawrence police were called in for assistance. "I don't know how often they send the alerts, but if they sent something every hour it would probably be more of a hassle than a benefit," Clark said. Cherae Clark, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., has worked the front desk and has been a resident assistant at McCollum for two years. The University's response was surprisingly quick that day, she said. On April 30 of this year, text messages informed students of a search for an armed suspect in a campus residence hall. The building was locked down and those outside were instructed to find a safe place to stay put. The McCollum Hall search put the University's emergency response capabilities on display for public review. JILL JESS University Relations "Please don't get to the point where you're not looking at them, because we send them out for a reason." in light of the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech in which 32 people were killed. More than two hours passed before students were formally told of the shooter on campus. Saran said the University requested assistance from Lawrence Police in April. The state highway patrol, nearby police departments and SWAT personnel are also available if needed, he said. Less than a month after the Virginia Tech shooting, the University announced plans to include text messaging in its noti- The last text message alert sent out was Aug. 26 to inform students of the temporary evacuation of Haworth Hall because of a hazardous materials spill. A May 2008 survey by the Midwestern Higher Education Compound found that before the Virginia Tech shooting, 5 percent of responding colleges said mobile phones were involved in emergency notifications. Of those that said they did not use text message alerts, 75 percent either implemented text alerts or planned to after the shooting. According to Roney, 17,794 KU students have provided information to receive emergency text messages as of Sept. 22. That number accounts for all KU campuses. So far, 15,141 Lawrence campus students have signed up — about 57 percent of the 26,266 students who attend classes on the Lawrence campus. Jill Jess, associate director for news and media relations, urged students to sign up for the service at alert.ku.edu and to not take the messages lightly. "Please don't get to the point where you're not looking at them, because we send them out for a reason," Jess said. "And we're not going to spam you." Edited by David Cawthon IN THE EVENT OF A SHOOTER OR THREAT OF ONE,THE UNIVERSITY RECOMMENDS: 1. Maintain awareness of the situation and environment around you; be prepared to take appropriate action. 2. Evacuate the area if you know that it is safe to do so 3. If a threat presents itself, seek cover and barricade yourself (with others if possible) by placing as much material between you and the threat. Remain quiet and turn off lights. 4. As soon as it is safe to do so, notify authorities by calling 911 and provide as much information as possible. 5. Do not approach emergency responders, let them come to you. Keep your hands visible. 6. Remain under cover until the threat is passed or you have been advised by law enforcement that it is safe to exit. 7. Activate cell phones to receive campus emergency text message notification. Courtesy of alert.ku.edu DIVERSITY I will be there.

An Arizona police officer pulls you over and asks for identification - but you forgot your driver's license. Under Arizona law SB 1070, if the officer has reason to believe you're an illegal immigrant, you're in big trouble. Some worry a similar law may soon come to Kansas. SUA hosted an immigration forum at the Kansas Union last night to discuss various topics relating to immigration in the United States. The forum was especially concerned with Arizona's SB 1070, which essentially allows police forces in Arizona to ask for citizens' documentation at any time, at the police officers' discretion.

Books, CDs and DVDs are donated throughout the year for the sale, which begins today at Seventh and Vermont streets. BY CARLO RAMIREZ cramirez@kansan.com Lawrence bookworms, prepare. The Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., kicks off its semi-annual sale today, with more than 125,000 items to choose from. "They have all different types of books ranging from children's books, fiction, romance, textbooks, biographies, photography -- there's something for everybody," said Rachel Allen, a graduate student from Hutchinson. Allen has attended the sale four times and volunteered twice. The sale's selection consists of old and damaged books discharged from the library, along with community donations. This isn't a typical sale, however: each day, the items get cheaper. Hardback books start at $1.50, paperbacks 75 cents and movies $2. After the first few days, there is a $7 "bag night," where shoppers can cram a brown paper bag full and take it home for just $7. The sale continues with a $5 bag night and ends with two give-away nights, where patrons can take home items for free. Although a few library staff members coordinate the sale, volunteers play a main role in running it. The money the sale raises — almost $35,000-40,000 twice a year goes toward library improvements and new books. Ruth Dewitt, coordinator of Friends of the Lawrence Public Library, is overseeing this fall's sale. Dewitt said the sale benefited Lawrence in a variety of ways. - "Its a great community event, fun atmosphere and gets books into the hands of people in the community, and promotes our goal of literacy," she said. Shoppers should be prepared to search for "diamonds in the rough," though, as the books are only loosely organized. "It gets really crowded in the garage because there are so many people and so many shelves of books." Allen said. "Without being organized by type it's hard to find anything specific. Your best bet is to find older classics." Some of these "older classics" offer buyers a perspective that can't be found in modern writing. Allen said she once found some books that were written during the Cold War.

The sale will be open today from 5 to 9 p.m. and continues through Oct. 10. Dewitt said the library could always use volunteers and encouraged anyone with free time to come to the library and work.

Schiller, a freshman from Leavenworth, said her traveling experiences have made her desire to study abroad that much stronger. Unfortunately, because of the hour requirements Schiller faces as a pre-nursing undergrad, significant time abroad may not become a reality. Vitter said the plan, which is more of a strategy than a report, will enable the administration to accomplish some concrete goals and follow up some of the initial work of the task forces from last year. He said Initiative 2015, the document from 2008 under then-Chancellor Robert E. Hemenway, didn't particularly lead to any programs and had a lot of long term goals.

CAMPUS Ever since Julie Schiller got a taste of the different worlds outside the United States, she has yearned for that exotic flavor again. b1 ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON amcaughton@kansan.com Vitter and Mabel Rice, professor in the Speech-Language & Hearing department, are chairs of the steering committee that will put the plan together. Rice said the committee is about moving forward and trying to find a plan that everyone is comfortable with. "We're trying to fit the process into the time that we live in which is a time of transparency, a time of trust, a time of many different points of view on how to get things moving in the best possible way," "I just wouldn't have enough time to do a semester because I have to get so many hours down," Schiller said.

"That is far too weighty and doesn't give students much flexibility," Vitter said. "We want to allow for a full range of experience including out of the classroom like study abroad, internships and research." KU INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS The University of Kansas Almost two-thirds of the University's curriculum consists of general education requirements. The committee is going to look at the learning area in particular and review the curriculum in order to redo the general education requirements to allow for more flexibility to take advantage of some of the University's programs. "The best way to turn a good undergraduate education into a great one is to get a student involved in research and that links to synergies with foreign cultures and that's where study abroad is critical". Vitter said. The administration is about to send out the invitations to serve on the steering committee. It will consist of faculty, staff, alumni and some external participants as well as students. From the steering committee, smaller, more focused work groups will be formed. Each of those work groups will produce the detailed recommendations that will be incorporated by the steering committee into the action plan. The meetings will be a series of face to face discussions. The first one, which will take place on Oct. 20, will include a panel of eight to ten faculty members who, Vitter said, have a history of connecting and building synergies, an underlying theme of the committee. The Institute for International Business at the School of Business helped find the right program for me. ODD NEWS The IIB also provided scholarship support to ease the costs.

"Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" will return to theaters in 3-D in 2012 and will be followed by the five other live-action movies set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Lucas has said that the technological strides of James Cameron's "Avatar" persuaded him to reconsider his longtime disdain for 3-D. Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic special-effects shop is overseeing the 3-D conversion 20th Century Fox will release them. ILM visual effects supervisor John Knoll said he doesn't intend to put out a sub-par 3-D conversion. "Getting good results on a stereo conversion is a matter of taking the time and getting it right," Knoll said in a statement. "It takes a critical and artistic eye along with an incredible attention to detail to be successful. It is not something that you can rush if you want to expect good results. For 'Star Wars' we will take our time, applying everything we know both aesthetically and technically to bring audiences a fantastic new 'Star Wars' experience."

"Waiting for'Superman'' explores education issues Blaise Marcoux MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE TORONTO Davis Guggenheim is no doctor, but he knows the prescription for building a great school. "It's really simple," said Guggenheim, director of "Waiting for 'Superman'." Successful schools all share "the same ingredients," he said. "Things like longer school days, high expectations and account-ability." And, added producer Lesley Chilcott, "they can fire bad teachers."

When he was the Milwaukee Public Schools superintendent, Fuller "actually did think" he could fix the system, he said with a rueful laugh. "Very few of us go in there thinking, 'Hell, I can't do anything here.' You go in thinking you can, if not fix things, make them markedly better." students -- $6.00! The documentary "Waiting for "Superman" is about this larger problem — what Chilcott called the "full-blown crisis" in public education and how to fix it. But, he said in a separate interview, "I barely made a dent in the larger problem" during his tenure. in the film, Fuller describes something called "the dance of the lemons," which Chilcott said was part of "a whole vernacular, like rubber room or turkey trot" that is used to describe passing bad teachers from one school to the next. In the film, Fuller also discusses being unable to fire teachers for what he described in an interview as "grievous stuff," including putting a child's head in a soiled toilet.

Teaching "is one of the most important jobs in the world." Guggenheim said: "Teachers need to be recruited, supported, evaluated and rewarded." Guggenheim said hearing from a social activist like Fuller that "unions aren't on the right side of reform" is like "Nixon going to China." But the film describes teachers unions as impediments to reform because of their resistance to merit pay, teacher standards and changes in tenure. "If someone like him is telling us this," Guggenheim said, "it must be true." Culver's While "Waiting for 'Superman" has its share of charts and statistics, it also humanizes the policy debate by following a group of bright and ambitious students whose chances of getting a good education depend on winning a lottery at a specialty school with enrollment limits. And Guggenheim said suggestions that politicians continue "pouring money into a broken system" is not the answer. "And we have to remove whatever impediments there are to create great schools. Because if all people have are options to go to mediocre schools, then that's an illusion." Guggenheim said he went to private schools as a child because his mother told him the schools in Washington, D.C., were broken. "Now, 40 years later, I live in L.A. and I'm packing my kids off to private school and doing what my parents did: taking care of my kids."

Not only did the recession hurt the finances of both students and their families, but state funding to state universities has been cut by approximately $100 million, or 13 percent. To make sure our taxes are being spent the way we want, we have to be vocal about our position. All it takes is a few minutes to write or call at least one government official. It would add up to a lot of letters and a lot of pressure to bring the money back home. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that two thirds of all college students have student loan debt after graduation, with an average of $19,237. With the economy still lagging, there is a chance that many of us are still going to be waiting tables or working retail after graduation, and almost $20,000 in debt is hard to pay off when you make minimum wage.

As journalists we must always consider our audience. After a recent class field trip to Haskell Indian Nations University, I realized that there is still an audience that I or we are not always aware or concerned with: Native Americans. The fight isn't over for them especially today. They fight for representation, equality and freedom from oppression and stereotypes. In my diversity in the media class, we explore racial, gender and ethnic topics. We discuss the portrayals and presence of different groups in the media, as well as the effects of those portrayals and what they mean.

LeValdo said that at Haskell they didn't understand what the point of the cartoon was. Therefore she felt it necessary to ask our class what it meant. The class responded with silence and possibly embarrassment. We felt we were on the defensive end. Not only did we not know what to say, we also didn't understand it either. We didn't understand the humor, but we also didn't understand the offense. A lot of people tend to tiptoe around topics and conversations when the subjects are racially, religiously or ethnically different from us. Unfortunately, a lot of people ignore an audience regardless of the difference or need for sensitivity. As students, we have the youth and ability to change our perceptions to be better informed and aware of other cultures. More conversations and dialogues need to take place for a better understanding of these issues and how the other side feels about them. I am not applauding or condemning the artist or saying he needs to be censored for sensitivity and awareness of his topics. I am a First Amendment supporter but more considerations need to be taken by authors regarding audience and ethics, even students.

GUEST COLUMN Criminalizing gay sex common goal for Uganda, Montana parties The Montana GOP and the Ugandan Parliament aren't usually known for seeing eye-to-eye on many policy ideas, but there is at least one instance where their priorities are shockingly in line: They would both make homosexuality a crime. The situation in Uganda has been on the radar for almost a year. The Ugandan "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" was introduced last October by a member of its parliament, David Bahati. Due to wide-ranging international pressure, the bill's more draconian measures have been blunted, but it would still call for the execution of gays and lesbians who had sex while HIV positive, or who practiced homosexual acts more than once. The bill has yet to go to vote. The Montanan side of the story came to light a little more than a week ago. The Associated Press reported that, in June, the Montana GOP adopted a party platform that included this statement: "We support the clear will of the people of Montana expressed by legislation to keep homosexual acts illegal." The plank itself is a vestigial part of policy left over from 1997, when the state Supreme Court overturned a law that had made homosexual acts illegal. It's both amazing and troubling that the policy has persisted for so long. As with any embarrassing revelation, members of the Montana GOP are split. Some are reacting with incredulous surprise, like Republican state Sen. John Brueggeman, who said, "I looked at that and said, 'You've got to be kidding me.'" He continued, "Should it get taken out? Absolutely. Does anybody think we should be arresting homosexual people? If you take that stand, you really probably shouldn't be in the Republican Party." On the other side, some Montana Republicans are tacitly backing the plan, yet with hedged answers all the same. "There had been at the time, and still is, a substantial portion of Republican legislators that believe it is more important for the Legislature to make the law instead of the Supreme Court," said Montana GOP Executive Director Bowen Greenwood. If only there were two Brueggemans out there for every Greenwood. While Brueggeman unfilchingly calls an unjust measure exactly what it is, he continues on to explain how intellectually dishonest it is, in light of other Republican values. On the other hand, Greenwood seems to want to cover his ears and yell, 'Activist judges!' all the while propping up the abhorrent idea. It's telling that the plank remained a part of the platform for 13 years. Greenwood states that no one has taken action to remove it, and in fact, it has never come up for discussion. Legally speaking, the measure is a moot point. Constitutional specialist Jack Tubulske states that due to the previously mentioned Supreme Court ruling, "[it's against] the fundamental law of the land and the Legislature can't override the Constitution. It might express their view, but as far as a legal reality, it's a hollow view and can't come to pass." As of right now, the plank is still a part of the official platform. While it does not advocate for the same cruelty that the Ugandan bill does, in essence, both statements mean the same thing: Homosexuals are second-class citizens. The Ugandan bill has faltered, while the Montana GOP continues to support an unsupportable idea. Contact them at www.mtgop.org/contact.aspx and let them know what you think. — From Uwire.

Last year, the total number of student applications sent to campus employers was 25,455. This was significantly higher than the 1,285 on-campus jobs posted by employers, according to the University Career Center. Kristin Crawford, a senior from Paola and peer career assistant at the University Career Center, is one of the lucky students who found an on-campus job this semester. For her, the challenges of balancing work, her social life and school are significant, but they do not outweigh the financial and personal benefits of being employed. "I don't have as much free time as I'd like, but I need to support myself and pay my bills because my parents don't," Crawford said. Crawford works 16 hours a week and said she believed the job would provide good experience and a degree of responsibility in the future. Her main motivation, though, remains paying for rent and tuition. Crawford's situation is one familiar on college campuses. According to a U.S. Department of Education study, 78 percent of undergraduates worked while they were enrolled during the 2003-2004 academic year. Of that total, two-thirds of working students found employment in order to be able to pay for their tuition, fees and living expenses. Ann Hartley, associate director at the University Career Center, said because higher education was getting more expensive, more students needed a job to get through college than they did in previous generations. "More students have to work to support themselves," Hartley said. "There is just more stuff to pay for." One question is whether it is possible for students to maintain both jobs and good grades. According to the same U.S. Department of Education study, research has shown that working 15 hours or fewer per week often has a positive effect on persistence and degree completion. Anything above that, however, can be detrimental. Hartley said even part-time jobs can often become quite overwhelming for students with a full course load and that preserving a good GPA often depends on the focus and ambition of the individual. Curtis Marsh, director of KU Info, employs 23 students and thinks that staying on campus to work is a benefit for students, especially for those interested in maintaining their grades. "Most campus employers understand that you are a student first, employee second." Marsh said. KU Libraries, one of the larger employers on campus, has had fairly steady student employment figures over the last few years, despite the University's budget cuts. According to Rebecca Smith, director of communications for KU Libraries, last year 224 students were employed, compared to 246 as of last week. Like most employers on campus, application totals for KU Libraries positions have been consistently high in recent years. Jeromy Horkman, a service desk supervisor at Watson Library, said he had noticed an increase in the number of students following up on their online application submissions with personal visits and phone calls. "I would attribute this to overall economic conditions and KU Libraries' popularity as a key place in which to work and study," Horkman said. As it becomes increasingly more difficult to find jobs available amidst tough competition at the University, Crawford is just glad to have found one. "With my schedule, it's nice to have that flexibility and understanding that comes on campus," Crawford said. Edited by Michael Bednar DIVERSITY (CONTINUED FROM 1A) Kris Kobach, a Republican running for Kansas Secretary of State, helped draft SB 1070, which went into effect on April 23. David Trevino, an immigration lawyer from Lawrence and a member of the three-person panel at the forum, said if Kobach were elected, Kansas government would likely push for stricter enforcement of immigration laws. Trevino said the idea of stricter immigration laws was popular among Kansas citizens, and that if Republicans took office, it was likely that lawmakers would draft a bill for Kansas similar to SB 1070. "It concerns me," Trevino said. One aspect of the Arizona immigration bill that causes concern is the fear that people stopped by the police will be subjected to racial profiling.

He's been named a preseason All-American by Dick Vitale, Blue Ribbon Basketball Yearbook and The Sporting News. DraftExpress.com called him the best NBA prospect in the Big 12. BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/UDKbasketball Reclining in a chair in the media relations office Tuesday afternoon, though, Morris just looked wiped out. Junior forward Marcus Morris leaps over Alcorn State forward Michael Starks for a jumper. The team started preseason training on Monday. He and his teammates were a day-and-a-half into Bill Self's infamous "boot camp," but Morris, a junior, said it was exhaustion like he didn't know before he came to Kansas. Saturday, Oct. 16 Practice officially begins Tuesday, Nov. 2, 7 p.m. Jayhawk open the preseason against Washburn "It's a different kind of tired. you know what I mean?" Morris said. "Your body's tired. You really can't sleep that much. Then you're just running around and doing drills and getting yelled at. It just draining." Friday, Nov. 12, 7 p.m. The regular season begins as Kansas plays host to Longwood Morris did say, though, that boot camp has gotten easier over the years for him. LOOKING AHEAD TO BASKETBALL SEASON Friday, Oct. 15 Late Night in the Phog "When I got here as a freshman, some of the guys said that was the easiest boot camp," he said, "and I thought it was the hardest thing I'd ever done. This year is not as hard as it was when I was a freshman, I'll tell you that much." A typical boot camp day starts until about 6 p.m., then the players have study hours with their tutors from 7 to 9 p.m. By that time they're spent, so they sleep and they get up to do it again the next day. Morris said the worst part was doing "all basketball stuff with no basketballs. You know what I'm talking about? That's just not "Your body's tired. You really can't sleep that much... It's just draining." with a 5:30 a.m. alarm. Stretching at the Fieldhouse starts at 6 and then drills with no basketballs run until about 7:15. The lucky ones get a nap then. Others start their classes. After the school day, weights start up at 3:30 p.m. Lifting and pickup games run interesting at all." MARCUS MORRIS Junior forward He and the other upperclassmen have been impressed by this year's bunch of new guys. Freshmen Josh Selby, Royce Woolridge and Niko Roberts and sophomore walkon Justin Wesley all ming through their first boot camp. said the young guys were handling it well, but that they weren't totally prepared for how difficult the next week-and-a-half will be. "I think it's a little harder on the younger guys," Taylor said. "They don't really know what to expect, even though we told them. "They're doing well right now," senior guard Tyrel Reed said. "We haven't had any crazy things happen, I guess you could say. Everyone's been in pretty good shape so far." Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor I mean, you can talk about it, but going through it yourself..." — Edited by Lisa Curran SOFTBALL Kansas opens season by trouncing Baker, 10-0 Reigning seniors embrace leadership role for eight young players this season BY HANNAH WISE hwise@kansan.com Before the first pitch was thrown during Wednesday night's game against Baker, the Jayhawks warm-up session was telling for what was soon to come. Senior catcher Brittany Hile pumped up each of her fellow players during pre-game infield drills. Coach Megan Smith said the close-knit nature of the team was demonstrated directly on the field in their 10-0 victory over the Wildcats, even though fall games are considered more as practice. Although eight young players are now apart of the fall roster, they bring much more depth to this season compared to the spring. Smith said. "We really look at the intensity level and how they are communicating out on the field," Smith said. "It gives us an idea of what we need to work on for the rest of the fall. Overall, I am really pleased with it [the team's performance]." "We have a lot of good young players that wore their jerseys for the first time tonight," Smith said. Freshman pitcher Kristin Martinez pitched her first game beginning in the fourth inning. Her first few pitches were rough, but she quickly settled into a rhythm and ended the fifth inning with two consecutive strikeouts. Last season Megan Hull played as a slapper, but this season she has made the transition to full hitting. By the end of the sixth inning. Hull had swung for a single, double, triple and a home run. "I was really nervous coming into the fourth inning," Martinez said. "But after that, I was really excited because this is what I have been working for practically my whole life." "So, this was an exciting game for them and they all performed extremely well." "I have been working on my swing all fall," Hull said. "It was nice to just come into a live situation and perform." Senior Liz Kocon, senior Brittany Hile, and junior Ashley Spencer have played leading roles for the young team so far this season. Kocon managed four at bats and her solid line drive in the KU KANSAS VS. BAKER M 10 - 0 KU NEXT GAME: WHO: Kansas vs. Johnson County CC WHEN: 6 p.m. WHERE: Lawrence fifth inning brought in two more runs for the Jayhawks. "I want the whole team to keep hitting like we did, just being aggressive at the plate," Kocon said. "If we can just keep that, we will be winning a lot more games this year." Wednesday night's win illustrated the team's hard work in the off-season. Overall, the Jayhawks had a strong first showing against the Baker Wildcats. The Jayhawks will face Johnson County Community College at home on Oct. 6. KANSAS COMMENTARY Chris Neal/KANSAN - Edited by Leslie Kinsman Infielder Mariah Montgomery picks up a ground ball and throws it to infielder Ashley Newman for an out during the second inning of Wednesday night's season opener against Baker University. Kansas shut out Baker 10-0. Embrace KU athletics tradition and elders BY KATHLEEN GIER kqier@kansan.com 1 This weekend I watched my brother, a high school senior, run cross country at senior, run cross country at Rim Rock Farm. For high school runners, it's a major goal to participate in a meet at Rim Rock, first because the course hosts the state tournament for Kansas high schools, and secondly because of the rich history found there. Metal life-sized silhouettes of famous former KU runners are placed alongside the trail, acting as their own personal, on-shot hall of fame. Former football greats John Hadl and Gale Sayers are working with the Williams Fund as associate athletics director for major gifts and director of funding for special events respectively. And Max Falkenstien can still be seen at Kansas athletic events, even after 60 years of announcing games for the school. All of these names will forever be remembered in some capacity, whether it be on a jersey hanging in their honor, their names adorned on stadium walls, or a even a silhouette in their likeness standing at Rim Rock Farm. A KU running legend and Olympic silver medalist, Jim Ryun, returned to Lawrence Saturday to sign autographs and pass out individual and team awards after each race. The top 25 runners from each race and the winning teams also had the opportunity to shake Ryun's hand and pose for pictures after the race. While this did not necessarily mean a lot to some of the high school athletes, there were starstruck parents to make up for them. One parent, a family friend of mine, asked, "Do these kids even comprehend who this is and how cool it is?" Of course Ryun competed within his own generation, and Steve Prefontaine more or less replaced the inspirational role for today's young runner, but my friend had an interesting point The most obvious example is probably Danny Manning, who led the basketball team to their 1988 championship and has since returned to coach for his alma mater, even sitting on the bench in support when the basketball team won the National championship in 2008. I think one of the best things about being a fan is looking into the history of a program and learning about the former players and teams. Familiarizing yourself with this background brings a deeper sense of pride and understanding when you cheer for your team. Especially here at Kansas, I think students are lucky because they're not only surrounded on campus by talented players their own age, but students also have former athletes involved around the University. Part of my message is to honor your elders, but really, at Kansas, students are lucky to have such important and nationally recognized former athletes and alumni sticking around in support of the University, far after their eligibility has expired. So read up on them if you don't recognize the names. And if you do, make it a goal to try and meet any of these great men and women while you are here. — Edited by Leslie Kinsman 2B SPORTS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM QUOTE OF THE DAY I was enjoying every minute of it.

I have Jake Cutler, who has proven to be a fantasy stud, and Alex Smith, who is on his way to becoming a fantasy dug. Because I'm technology-impaired, my backup quarterback, whom I originally drafted, had the same bye week as one of my other quarterbacks. I went for Matt Stafford. He is a great pick up for a backup, especially if you have a starter with a late bye week. The team's target for his return is in Week 5 against St. Louis. So, if you are desperate like me, Stafford could be a great pickup from free agency. in and surprise players are popping up all over the place. If you get the right free agents, they can carry your team to victory. Last season, it was Steve Smith from the New York Giants and Ricky Williams that did it for me. This year my favorite grabs, so far, have been Mark Clayton and Dustin Keller. Let's go over a few key players, position by position. BY SAMANTHA ANDERSON sanders@sankan.com One other quarterback that may be available is Kyle Orton. He's consistently put up great numbers and is just 11 yards behind the league leader Phillip Rivers. People doubt Orton every year, but he still has some great games and the later part of his schedule includes teams like St. Louis and Oakland. Many of the good running backs have probably been snatched up in most leagues, but if you want to take a little bit of a gamble, I'd go with the Patriots' running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis. This isn't the first time he's been on the fantasy free agent radar — last year towards the end of the season, he was pretty popular as well. Last game he rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown. His reps have been slowly growing since the beginning of the season, but this could be due to Fred Taylor's injury. The carries could start diminishing as Taylor recovers. The main downside is that he is competing for touches with Sammy Morris as well as Taylor, and the number of touches he gets could just depend on what Bill Belichick had for breakfast that day. He is winning the touch battle right now — Ellis got 16 touches to Taylor's and Morris's six touches — but that could change. There always seem to be new wide receivers to pick up every week. Right now it's Lance Moore. And instead of saying go for it, I'm going to say wait a week. Moore had a great game, but with him it's a big game or nothing. I had him on my team last year and it seemed that hed get me two points whenever I started him and 20 whenever he was on the bench. I have a hard time believing he's the real deal. The one player I'd been looking at the past two weeks, but didn't have the guts to grab, is Oakland's Louis Murphy, mainly because he's on the Raiders, and THE MORNING BREW they are, well, the Raiders. But as they get their quarterback debacle figured out, Murphy continues to improve. He has a great rapport with their current first-stringer, Bruce Gradkowski. One word of caution, however, patience is always a virtue. You don't want to be the guy that dropped Dustin Keller right before his biggest game of the season. But it is just a game, believe it or not, and scouting free agents is half of the fun.

The Jayhawks defeated the Tigers 3-1. Kansas is now 11-1 when winning the first set. The victory is also the first time Kansas has beaten the Tigers at home since 2003. BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com Kansas stopped a five-match skid going into its match against the Missouri Tigers last night, winning 3-1 in a Border Showdown volleyball match. In front of an unusually vocal crowd, senior outside hitter Karina Garlington led the Jayhawks with 22 kills as they improved their all-time record against the Tigers to 33-49. "We were able to get some momentum back under us," said Garlington. "Playing at Horejsi was great." She said that the team would have an opportunity to get another win on the road on Saturday, when Kansas plays Texas Tech. "We're going to get some fire under us," she said. Kansas held the lead throughout the first set, hitting with better efficiency and out-blocking Missouri 2-1. Brianne Riley, freshman defensive specialist and recent rookie of the week, did not play in the match, as she suffered a minor head injury in Saturday's game at Colorado. Instead, freshman defensive specialist Jaime Mathieu started in the libero position. Garlington said that Mathieu did a great job and that she enjoyed seeing the freshman play. "Oh my gosh, she's just a little firecracker," she said. "She has such a game face, she doesn't let anybody push her around." she had been working hard to gain coach Ray Bechard's confidence. Kaiser went on to score 16 kills with no errors and recorded the highest efficiency of anyone in the match. Missouri took an early lead in the second set, but Garlington scored 11 kills to help the Jayhawks win. Altough Kansas scored the first Kaiser said that she was seeing more time on the court because point of the third set, Missouri's outside hitter Brittney Brimmage scored a kill, that gave her team the lead it needed to win 24-26. The Jayhawks jumped in front of the Tigers early in the fourth set. Although the Tigers crept close several times, the Jayhawks took the set and the match 25-21. Bechard said that, overall, the Javhawk offense performed unusually well, reaching a season-high .340 hitting efficiency, siding out successfully 66 percent of the time. "That's a big, big number. And we needed that, too," he said.

The first walk loaded the bases and the second forced home a run before Julio Borbon hit an RBI single and a wild pitch allowed the tying run. ARLINGTON, Texas — Mitch Moreland raced home from first base with the winning run after a wild pitch and a throwing error on a strikeout with two outs in the ninth inning, lifting the AL West champion Texas Rangers over the last-place Seattle Mariners 6-5 Wednesday. Quiroz retrieved the ball, but threw wildly into right field trying to get Cruz at first. Moreland never stopped running and beat the throw home by right fielder Ichiro Suzuki. Neftali Feliz (4-3), the third Rangers reliever, struck out one in a perfect ninth. Moreland reached on a two-out walk in the ninth off Dan Cortes (0-1). Pinch-hitter Nelson Cruz then struck out, but reached on a wild pitch that bounced past catcher Guillermo Muiroz. The Rangers had scored three runs in the eighth to tie the game at 5-all, scoring on a bases-loaded walk and another wild pitch by Cortes. After Jorge Cantu and Jeff Francoeur had flyouts to start the ninth, Moreland walked and Cruz, Cortes had been the first Seattle reliever since 1993 to open his major league career with consecutive appearances without allowing a runner when he struck out four while retiring the first six batters he faced. Things went much differently in the right-hander's third game. who has hit three game-winning homers this season, pinch-hit for Esteban German. Quiroz's throw was to the infield side of the bag, and first baseman Justin Smook was set up on the foul side. Suzuki made a strong throw home, but Moreland beat it. Moreland had entered the game in the second when David Murphy left because of a strained left groin. The team said Murphy was having an MRI exam. Smoak, the rookie first baseman sent to Seattle when the Rangers acquired left-hander Cliff Lee on July 9, homered for the third straight game against his former team. He hit a two-run homer in the first off Rich Harden, who might have made his last start for Texas. Franklin Gutierrez hit a two-run double in the fifth to make it 4-1, chasing Harden, who allowed four runs and six hits. Smoak's homer was a 412-foot shot onto the hill in straightway center field, almost identical to his homer the night before. He has 13 homers this season. The Mariners led 5-1 after Quiroz had a double in the sixth and scored when Suzuki reached on an error by shortstop Andres Blanco. Texas (88-70) can still reach 92 wins, the mark that team president and co-owner Nolan Ryan had set as a goal before the season with a sweep in the upcoming four-game home series against the Los Angeles Angels. Texas signed Harden last winter to a free-agent deal for $6.5 million with a chance to earn another $2.5 million in performance bonuses. There is an $11.5 million mutual option for 2011 with a $1 million buyout for the Rangers. The Mariners (61-97) have to split their four-game home series against Oakland to avoid their second 100-loss season in three years. Harden has been on the disabled list twice this season and is 5-5 with a a 5.58 ERA that is the highest in his career. It is unlikely that the right-hander will even be on Texas' playoff roster.

Quigley was the original starting running back, but lost the joh Dealing with four backs can be tricky, almost as tricky as the circumstances that got the Jayhawks to this point. 2 67 Angus Quigley had the job at first. He was a running back with promise, who had made a big enough impression on coach Turner Gill that he earned the starting job. With Sands backing up Quigley, it seemed as though the freshman would freshman would Quigley have a strong mentor to look up to. However, after a devastating loss to North Dakota State, the arrangement would have to be audible. that adjustment came in the form of 6-foot, 226-pound James Sims, who was playing for the injured Sands. He made an immediate impact, breaking out for 101 yards on 17 carries with a touchdown. His performance placed him in the record books as the first freshman in Kansas football nstory to gain 100 yards rushing in his debut. By way of an injury, leaving a questionable status on Quigley from the Georgia Tech game, Sims would have a chance to showcase his skills with his freshman counterpart, Sands. Sims received the bulk of the workload against Southern Miss, accounting for 77 yards on 20 carries. Sands accounted for 35 yards on eight carries. Not stellar games for either, but the season was still young. On to Week 4 and New Mexico State. The week of preparation started out with the news that Angus Quigley, who had been voted one of the captains not more than a month ago by his teammates, would not be receiving the bulk of the carries in the forthcoming games. While Quigley had come up with big statistics for the layhawks in his career — 476 yards and five touchdowns on 92 carries he had lost the starting job. It wasn't Sands who was moved up to No.1 on the depth chart, but rather Sims. With what seemed to be a solid backfield, the Jayhawks headed into Week 4 with a game plan in mind. While the Jayhawks did emerge victorious, they did not see the run game they had expected. A new player had stepped up in the backfield changing the status quo of the running backs. Again. Sophomore D.J. Beshares burst onto the running back scene and never looked back. His 68 yards on 15 carries, along with two touchdowns, stole the show last Saturday. His play only complicates the backfield further. Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long now face the extremely tough task of handling the backfield. "It's not a matter of saying we need to get this guy that many or that many, we're just trying to make sure we do things in a good way" Gill said on Tuesday, "We still got our plan just to do whatever we can do to production out of our running game. Definitely James Sims will probably be the primary guy, but Sands is going to get some carries. Beshears is going to get some carries." to get some information The best news of all is that the carousel of running backs is only helping freshman quarterback Jordan Webb come up with yards. "We have a lot of good running backs, and it's something that I enjoy, because whenever you get the ball in those guys' hands, you know they're doing something with it." Webb said. When it comes to football, nothing is set in stone — it is not unlikely that the best player one As of Wednesday, Gill listed Quigley as "doubtful" for this week's game at Baylor. His apparent leg injury has not progressed. week may not be the best another week. This could turn in the favor of Quigley. Presently, Angus Quigley's carries are for the most part on hiatus.

An unblocked Iowa State safety was flashing into the backfield, taking dead aim at Daniel Thomas just as he was getting the ball. But suddenly Thomas dipped a shoulder, swiveled a hip and shifted his weight. The safety grabbed mostly air and Thomas spun away for a 20-yard gain in a 27-20 victory in the Wildcats' Big 12 opener. "I thought I'd seen just about every move he has," Coffman said of his humble running back. "Pretty sweet." Football always came easy to this easygoing son of a Georgia pastor. It was all that other stuff that led him through three different junior colleges and at least one crisis of confidence before he finally landed safely at Kansas State. Now he's averaging 157 yards per game for the unbeaten Wildcats (4-0), excelling at a position he never played until last year. NFL scouts are also taking notice of a remarkably fast, fluid and elusive 238-pounder. "He is a great running back," said Central Florida coach George O'Leary. "He will be playing on Sunday." For a couple of worrisome years, it looked like Thomas would never reach his potential. He was in peril of joining a mostly unseen army of unfortunate young people who never meet minimum NCAA academic standards and drop back into the crowd, their athletic talents forever untapped. An option quarterback at Hilliard, Fla., high school, he was offered a scholarship by Ole Miss. But he failed to qualify. So it was on to Northwest Mississippi Community College, where he rushed for 618 yards and six TDs and passed for 450 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Florida and Oklahoma came calling. The Sooners wanted to turn him into a safety. Florida foresaw him as a quarterback. But still the grades were not up to snuff. He began to wonder if the struggle was worth it. "I think I was pretty distracted," he said. "I had just never thought studying and going to class was important." At the Elm Grove Baptist Church across the state line in Florida, Pastor Jerald Thomas asked the congregation to pray for his son, who enrolled at Butler Community College in Kansas. Then, finally, he got his academics in line with a couple of classes at Manhattan (Kan.) Christian and enrolled at Kansas State. "What a journey," he said. "I could probably write a book about it." To that point, he had played quarterback, linebacker and safety. But when he reported for his first meeting at Kansas State, he was told to report to the running backs' meeting. "It was kind of a shock," he said. It turns out coach Bill Snyder had taken a long look at videotape. "I just didn't feel like he was going to be able to throw the football as well as you would hope you could at that position," he said. "It was apparent he could run the ball." Many quarterbacks might be bitter at the switch. Not Thomas. "You say, 'Daniel, you're a satey,' Daniel, you are an offensive tackle,' he would say, 'OK, show me what to do," said Snyder. "That's just the way he is." Thomas hurt his shoulder in the first game in 2009. With a sore shoulder and no experience at his new position, he proceeded to lead the Big 12 with 1,265 yards rushing. This year, in his 13th game as a running back, he launched his senior season with 234 yards against UCLA. No one had gained that many yards against the Bruins since Reggie Bush went for 260 in his Heisman Trophy-winning year of 2005. He had 137 against Missouri State the next week and ripped through Iowa State's defense for 181 the week after that, scoring two touchdowns in all three games. O'Leary'sCentralFloridadefense keyed on him every play and held him to 76 yards but that opened up the passing lanes for Coffman and Kansas State remained unbeaten going into this bye week. "We're undefeated and that's the most important thing," Thomas said. "I don't think we've reached our potential yet." Thomas ranks fourth nationally with an average of 157 yards. His 628 total yards rushing are second only to Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson. "Against a back like him you have to be prepared for it because the average back is nowhere near that size." Central Florida defensive end David Williams said of the beefy, 6-foot-2 Thomas. "He's so shifty, too. For his size, his athleticism is almost unforeseen in college football." Sometimes he still looks like a rookie at his position. There have been several times this year when he failed to use his blocks just right. "But he makes so many yards on his own after contact," said center Wade Weibert. "He just keeps churning his feet and fighting for every inch he can get." FIBA U.S. beats Australia, 83-75 ASSOCIATED PRESS OSTRAVA, Czech Republic — Diana Taurasi scored 24 points and Sylvia Fowley added 15 to help the United States beat Australia 83-75 on Wednesday night, earning the top seed in the quarterfinals at the women's world basketball championship. Tina Charles had 14 points for the U.S. (6-0), which will face South Korea on Friday in Karlovy Vary. Australia (5-1) will take on the Czech Republic. The Americans remained undefeated against the Aussies in the worlds, improving to 9-0 all-time. Even with a lot less at stake, the teams went right at each Liz Cambage scored 18 points to lead the defending world champions while Lauren jackson added 13. other, trading points early on. The officials called 17 fouls in the first 8 minutes. Leading 21-18 with 1:56 left in the first period, the Americans took over with Fowles and Taurasi keying an 18-0 run. Fowles started the spurt with a tough lay-in. Taurasi followed with an acrobatic jumper. On the next play, Sue Bird tracked down the ball at midcourt and paced ahead to Fowles for another easy lay-in as the Americans were off and running to the delight of the crowd of 6,340. The U.S. led by 11 after one period and continued the onslaught to start the second quarter, scoring the first nine points. Taurasi hit two 3-pointers during the burst, including one with 8 minutes left that capped the run and made it 39-18. Jackson finally ended Australia's drought with a deep 3-pointer, but the U.S. maintained an 18-point halftime lead. Unlike the 2008 Olympic gold medal game when the Americans jumped out to a 17-point halftime lead and then coasted to a 92-65 win. Australia battled back in the second half. The 19-year-old, who leads the team in scoring for the tournament, has shown vast improvement since the first time the U.S. saw her in a scrimmage back in July. Her three-point play with 2.26 left cut Australia's deficit to 79-70, but it wasn't enough.

The 2011 season — the school's 119th since the program was born in 1892 — will now be the Golden Bears' last. "Berkeley prides itself on having perhaps the most diverse campus in the country, and now it has shut down America's pastime," said Kevin Maas, a former Cal player who spent five seasons in the major leagues and now resides in Castro Valley. In addition to baseball, Cal eliminated men's and women's gymnastics and women's lacrosse, all effective beginning with the 2011-12 school year. It reclassified the hugely successful men's rugby program as a varsity club sport. Coach Jack Clark, who has directed 21 of Cal's 25 rugby national championships, was confused by the new designation, but he is willing to await further explanation. "I was speechless," said Jeff Kent, a potential Hall of Famer who played at Cal and was the National League MVP with the Giants in 2000. "My initial thought was more of a disgusted feeling. I came from that program, and there's absolutely no way in the world I'd be sitting where I am now if it wasn't for that program. "For that to be eliminated, I'm kind of embarrassed, too. I'm hurt." As pitcher Tyson Ross, who played at Cal from 2006-08 and finished this season at Triple-A Sacramento, called the news "heartbreaking." Cal baseball coach David Esquer has vowed to stay on through the final season. "I love the university, love what it stands for," Esquer said. "But this is tragic, and I don't agree with it. I don't like it." Cal players were not made available for comment, but Esquer said, "They're angry and scared and nervous." and net roots. Athletic director Sandy Barbour, who appeared at an afternoon news conference with Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and Vice- Chancellor Frank Yeary, called it "a difficult and painful day." The cuts became necessary after Birgeneau decided the university would provide $5 million annually to intercollegiate athletics. In recent years, athletics has needed as much as $9 million to $13 million from the school to augment its $70 million overall budget. Birgeneau said no more teams will be cut and believes the changes will allow Cal to land on a financially sustainable path by 2014. 2014. Cal baseball won the first College World Series in 1947, then won it again 10 years later. But the Bears haven't captured a Pac-10 title since 1980, and Barbour said the program had the highest net cost to the university among men's programs. The other nine Pac-10 schools all have baseball teams. Conference newcomer Colorado, which arrives next fall, does not field a team, but Utah, the other incoming member of the Pac-10, does. Longtime Stanford coach Mark Marquess said Cal's decision will cause ripples beyond Berkeley. "Obviously, it affects Stanford, because it's our traditional rival. We are big rivals, but we have a lot of good friends there." Marquess said in a statement. CLASS CLOSED?

Money from the unallocated account funds events, speakers and other activities sponsored by student groups. It also pays for general costs associated with those groups and costs associated with Senate. The largest amount approved so far this year was $19,100 in salary increases for members of the Student Executive Committee. Money for the unallocated account comes from a $15.50 activity fee paid by all students as a required campus fee. Senate allocated $35,467, or 30 percent, of funds available to student groups during its first two sessions. Despite the early spending spree, Pishny said Senate should have enough money to last through the school year. What appeared to have been an early spending spree in Student Senate was nothing more than business as usual, said treasurer Erin Pishny. "I don't really see it being a problem," Pishny said. "We have a good amount of money unallocated to "I would just caution people to really look at the bills," said Pishny, a senior from Lenexa. "I would like to see more questioning of people in finance [committee] and in full Senate." Pishny said allocating such a large percentage of Senate's available funds at the beginning of the semester was typical. Even so, she said shed like senators to be more meticulous before voting to approve funding. fund the projects that students have on campus." SENATE TO WORK ON A MISSION STATEMENT Students interested in joining the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision should send an e-mail to Michael Wade Smith at michaelwadesmith@gmail.com. HOW TO JOIN THE SENATE TASKFORCE Student Body President Michael Wade Smith announced the formation of a new taskforce designated to create a Student Senate mission statement Wednesday. Senate committees each elected two members to the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision on Wednesday night. Smith said he would choose two students unaffiliated with Senate to also be members. Smith said he was shocked when he first realized Senate didn't have a formal mission statement. He said it was an integral piece of any organization's success. Edited by David Cawthon "We want to make sure that Senate is keeping campus moving forward," Smith said. "To do that you need to have something that's creating that vision and that purpose for you." "As long as we display it, read it and know it, it's going to inform the decisions we make for a lot of years to come," Smith said. Smith said he'd like to see a completed mission statement by mid-November. THE LOOP LOVE Carter Calvert performs the opening act to Neil Bery's 100 years of Broadway Thursday at the Lied Center.

Howard Ting/KANSAN Shining lights of Broadway come to Kansas, for a night BY NICOLAS ROESLER nroesler@kansan.com The number one touring Broadway concert brought the bright lights and big stars to the Lied Center Thursday night in the show "100 Years of Broadway" 47. Lead singers from Broadway shows such as "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Cats", "Les Miserables" and "Wicked" performed some of the most recognizable songs in American history. Although the show spans 100 years of Broadway classics, each song finds its place in todav's society and popular culture. "Broadway is inherently appealing," said Kevin Cook, a senior from Lenexa. Director Neil Berg sat on stage, playing a grand piano to songs that span generations, connecting them to American history and American culture between each performance. "It's like seeing 30 of the best Broadway University students Kelsey Flinn, a freshman from Overland Park, and Megan Lounds, a freshman from Winfield, arrived 20 minutes before the show and were excited to see some of their favorite songs. musicals in one night," Berg said.

I was just a simple girl. I got caught up in the romance and glamour. I was attracted immediately to his strength, style and confidence. Every time we were together it felt like we were the only two people in the world. It all happened so fast, and when we had to part, it was unbearable. I have to wait a whole week for him to return every Sunday night at 9 p.m. on AMC. My love affair is with Mad Men, the acclaimed Emmy-winning drama that follows Don Draper, an advertising executive in the 1960s. Set on sparkling Madison Avenue, the show highlights the work and sex lives of the advertising staff of Draper's company. Now in its fourth season, the show's drama has taken many turns through the real history of the 1960s. And if you're not interested in the educational factors, you can find entertainment in the constantly changing relationships of the cast. Though Draper does fit my tall, dark and handsome prototype, what I love most about the show is the visual aesthetic and costume design. Women wear brightly patterned dresses belted at the empire waist, accented with gold brooches or pearls. Their coiffed hair is Aqua Netted into place, sweeping across their high cheekbones. The look is finished off with mary jane patent leather heels and stockings that seem to exist only for their removal by the hands of handsome men. The men — Draper included — stick to classic cuts accented with colored pocket squares or sleek skinny ties. As work (of many kinds) calls, the suit remains the staple. Men swing jackets over their broad shoulders as they exit the office, or unbutton dress shirts as they bed married women. Call it provocative if you will, but Mad Men combines elements of drama as smoothly as a bartender makes your favorite cocktail. If you're intrigued by the drinking, working and sleeping around in Mad Men, read Molly's story on page 11 for more. Although I'm sure there will be a few disagreements ahead in my relationship — being late for our Sunday night dates, cheating with other shows etc., I'm convinced we can make this one last. It's been a good four years thus far, and if a new show does come into the picture, at least I can look back and say that Mad Men was the best I've ever had.

Last year, Senate had approved $30,365 after two full sessions, or 26 percent of its unallocated account. Money from the unallocated account funds events, speakers and other activities sponsored by student groups. It also pays for general costs associated with those groups and costs associated with Senate. Senate allocated $35,467, or 30 percent, of funds available to student groups during its first two sessions. Pishny said allocating such a large percentage of Senate's available funds at the beginning of the semester was typical. Even so, she said shed like senators to be more meticulous before voting to approve funding. The largest amount approved so far this year was $19,100 in salary increases for members of the Student Executive Committee. "I would just caution people to really look at the bills," said Pishny, a senior from Lenexa. "I would like to see more questioning of people in finance [committee] and in full Senate." Despite the early spending spree. Pishny said Senate should have enough money to last through the school year. Money for the unallocated account comes from a $15.50 activity fee paid by all students as a required campus fee. "I don't really see it being a problem," Pishny said. "We have a good amount of money unallocated to fund the projects that students have on campus." SENATE TO WORK ON A MISSION STATEMENT Student Body President Michael Wade Smith announced the formation of a new taskforce designated to create a Student Senate mission statement Wednesday. Senate committees each elected two members to the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision on Wednesday night. Smith said he would choose two students unaffiliated with Senate to also be members. Smith said he was shocked when he first realized Senate didn't have a formal mission statement. He said it was an integral piece of any organization's success. Smith said he'd like to see a completed mission statement by mid-November. "We want to make sure that Senate is keeping campus moving forward." Smith said. "To do that you need to have something that's creating vision and that purpose for you." "As long as we display it, read it and know it, it's going to inform the decisions we make for a lot of years to come," Smith said.

A lot of people have asked about my musical tastes to set the mood. While some were asking who Sade is (pronounced shah-DAY), others were asking about alternate songs I would use. So this week I decided to let you in on the ultimate songs to "get intimate to." Do you have a question for Kansas in Heat? Send it to kansasinheat@yahoo.com or check out the Kansas in Heat Facebook page. A Prince; Prince's music is technically outlawed in 12 states and Puerto Rico because it is too sexy. Get ready to purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka and put on some, "Do Me Baby," "International Lover," "Adore," or, my favorite, "Satisfied." Al Green: The reverend Al Green has been preaching love-making since the 70s. His sexual venom potency rivals that of any. Try "Call Me," "You Dought To Be With Me," and, of course, "Let's Stay Together." Barry White: It sounds cheesy and overdone, but all of his music is perfect for setting the mood. Peaches: Some of her songs are too racy to type in this column — but play those. I would also recommend "Downtown." The Last of the Mohicans soundtrack: This is outside of the box, but stay with me. The album's rhythm is perfect for an intimate night. It builds to a climax better than most albums. You may think I'm crazy, but Daniel Day Lewis has always done me right. MIKE ANDERSON CATCH OF THE WEEK // MEGAN PAUSTIAN > Our weekly peek at a fish in the KU sea. INTERESTS & HOBBIES: I'm a total nerd. I read a lot and play video games, but I'm also outdoorsy. I bike to class — I can't stay indoors for too long or I get restless and crazy. I also like working with my hands — that can mean anything from arts and crafts to massages.

"I saw the show last spring and was really impressed with it," says Tim Van Leer, executive director of the Lied Center. "The singers can sing and they have great stage presence. They also tell interesting stories about the show and the experience." Neil Berg, the show's musical director and pianist, created 100 Years of Broadway to pay tribute to the history of the musical. Now in its fifth year, Berg says he created the show to celebrate his mother's generation. "I wanted to create a rock concert for the Broadway world," he says. Berg's formula has been a success. "When you see the Phantom of the Opera star perform, you are seeing someone who has performed the song over 2,000 times." Berg says. "This is the best talent in the world." Bern narrates the show and shares anecdotes about each performance and song history. "I want it to feel like the audience is in my living room and we're having a party." Berg says.

ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS // REMOVE STAINS Clumsiness happens, and for Kristina Delacruz, it happens more often than not. Delacruz, Lansing freshman, says she usually uses paper towels and Oxcyclean for removing stains on her clothes. > In case of emergency, read quickly. College is the first time many students worry about laundry, says Kathy Swantko, founder and president of FabricLink Network. Besides store-bought products, there are a few simple tricks to remove pesky fabric stains. -Alcohol Wash, without soap, in hot water.

While visiting his brother at college, Docker Sullwater, Oklahon senior, drank a Bell's Two Hearted [Pale] Ale and was pleasantly surprised. "When a lot of people think of beer, it's a glass of American style Lager like Budweiser. Beer is so much more than that," he says. "The more you learn about it, the better chances you have of finding it." ACQUIRED TASTE The balance between the malt, a barley grain that has been soaked and dried to create a sweeter flavor in beer, and the hops, a flower that provides the bitter, tangy flavor to certain beers, excited his taste buds. Beer, like wine, can provide subtle yet complex flavors that stimulate the senses. While the production of wine depends largely on the region in which the grapes are grown and other natural factors like the weather, beer depends on the ingredients used and how it is made. Luckily, there are skilled and inventive brewers who make interesting and surprisingly elegant flavors. You can find a style of beer to suit your individual tastes, but the hard part is knowing where to start. "The possibilities are limitless in terms of what you can actually have and enjoy," says Kevin Prescott, a brewer at Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St. He says people will limit themselves to a 30 pack of Natural light because its cheap and it gets them drunk. "Something can be said for putting a little more money down and enjoying the product. That way, you're not just slugging down watery beer," he says. BRANCH OUT BEYOND YOUR AVERAGE ALE JON HERMES Tasting a beer is a lot like tasting wine there are rules to follow. Here are some tips to make your tasting experience effective and enjoyable. A Porter please: Get your head out of the keg and try new types of beer. If you you're into dark and bitter, go for a Porter or Stout. If you like sweetness, order a Pilsner. A group experience can help you make well-rounded observations about the flavors. Everyone has a different palette and different senses, says Bryan Buckingham, a brewer at 23rd St. Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, "Somebody might taste something different or mention something that you might have missed the first time you took a sip," he says. Buckingham recommends focusing on one style of beer. Buy a mixed six-pack of one style by different breweries. Focus on a Pilsner or Pale Ale at first, then work up to Porters and Stouts. And don't forget to try everything in between. >> If you insist on tasting several different styles of beer throughout the night, make sure you start with lighter-colored beers and work up to darker beers. Don't start with an IPA or a beer with a lot of hops. Too many hops can dominate your palette for the night. Also, don't smoke cigarettes before tasting and be sure to drink water between beers. Proper pouring can enhance the aroma and flavor of the beer. Prescott, the Free State brewer, says you want the bubbles to rise to the top. This lets the beer breathe while enhancing smell and taste. Specific glasses are designed to emphasize flavors in the different beers. Note the appearance of the beer after it is poured. Swish the beer around to let it breathe. Focus on the smell and try to pick out the hops or malts. Take a sip and focus on the flavors. Decker says to try to isolate a distinct flavor that you like in the beer. Note the texture of the beer and its flavors. Is it sweet or bitter? Silky or dry? Tasting the various flavors creates a unique experience. Chris Armstrong, Lawrence senior, says. "I like to taste the chocolate and coffee flavors in stouts and the earthy, rustic flavor of Belgian farmhouse ales," he says. "I like the complicated tastes that have a balance between the sweetness and spices." A SAMPLE OF BEER TO GET STARTED PORTER/STOUT The stout and porter are dark, bitter beers that use barley and dark malts. The ingredients in these two styles give a rich, complex flavor. Stouts and Porters tend to have sweet coffee and chocolate notes. With: A pint glass. Try: Porter: Boulevard Bully! Porter. Stout: Guiness WHEAT. This flavor is a common favorite. With little to no hops you can taste the wheat American wheat beers also tend to use ale yeast, fruit and other flavors to give it a sweet citrus taste. Try: Sam Adams Coastal Wheat With: Wheat beer glass: The glass is tall, starting off skinny at the bottom and grows slightly larger at the top. It allows for a nice foam head to form at the top and helps trap the aromas. PILSNER. Light in color with high carbonation, Pilsner has a clear, golden amber color with a white foam head. It has an earthy, floral taste with a light sweetness. Try: Pilsner Urquell With: A pilsner glass: Similar to the wheat beerglassbutwithlesscurvature,the pilsner glass shows off the color of the beer. PALE ALE. Uses pure barley malts. It has a strong flavor that is bitter to the taste. Many people are turned off by the bitter and sometimes spicy taste, but fans will stand by it. Its color ranges from golden to amber. Try: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale With: A mug or a pint accentuates the flavors and allows foam to form at the top, which gives off the aroma of the malts and hops. 7 09 30 10 CAMPUS Early spending by Senate not a worry What appeared to have been an early spending spree in Student Senate was nothing more than business as usual, said treasurer Erin Pishny. Last year, Senate had approved $30,365 after two full sessions, or 26 percent of its unallocated account. Money from the unallocated account funds events, speakers and other activities sponsored by student groups. It also pays for general costs associated with those groups and costs associated with Senate. The largest amount approved so far this year was $19,100 in salary increases for members of the Student Executive Committee. Despite the early spending spree, Pishny said Senate should have enough money to last through the school year. Pishny said allocating such a large percentage of Senate's available funds at the beginning of the semester was typical. Even so, she said she'd like senators to be more meticulous before voting to approve funding. Senate allocated $35,467, or 30 percent, of funds available to student groups during its first two sessions. Money for the unallocated account comes from a $15.50 activity fee paid by all students as a required campus fee. BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com "I would just caution people to really look at the bills," said Pishny, a senior from Lenexa. "I would like to see more questioning of people in finance [committee] and in full Senate." "I don't really see it being a problem," Pishny said. "We have a good amount of money unallocated to SENATE TO WORK ON A MISSION STATEMENT fund the projects that students have on campus." Smith said he'd like to see a completed mission statement by mid-November. "We want to make sure that Senate is keeping campus moving forward." Smith said. "To do that you need to have something that's creating that vision and that purpose for you." "As long as we display it, read it and know it, it's going to inform the decisions we make for a lot of years to come," Smith said. Students interested in joining the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision should send an e-mail to Michael Wade Smith at michaelwadesmith@gmail.com. Student Body President Michael Wade Smith announced the formation of a new taskforce designated to create a Student Senate mission statement Wednesday. Smith said he was shocked when he first realized Senate didn't have a formal mission statement. He said it was an integral piece of any organization's success. Edited by David Cawthon Senate committees each elected two members to the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision on Wednesday night. Smith said he would choose two students unaffiliated with Senate to also be members.

Nine years later, the Lenexa senior is majoring in art history and views the galleries with more educated eyes. "I think there was a childish curiosity that made me really in awe of it when I was younger," Borel says. "But now it's more interesting because I know about the artists and the pieces." Constructed in 1933, the neo-classical architecture takes you back to the 18th century with thick column entrances and 40-foot tall ceilings. The Nelson features 33,500 total works of art that fill the 23,000 square feet of gallery space. Add 22 acres to that number, including the outdoor sculpture park, which is home to the infamous 18-foot-tall shuttlecocks. The museum is acclaimed for its Asian collection of Buddhist and Hindu sculpture, but Borel prefers the French impressionist paintings of Claude Monet and Edgar Dega. You don't have to frolic as far as France to see the same artists. The Nelson showcases European, African, Modern and Contemporary Art and 10 other permanent collections. "Our museum had some of the best Egyptian art in the nation but we didn't have a mummy," says Robert Cohon, curator of ancient art at the Nelson-Atkins. Now he's wrapped up in the Nelson's newest addition: a 2,500-year-old mummy named Ka-i-nefer. Prefer flashier art? This season's temporary exhibit, "Thinking Photography," features five decades of work from the Kansas City Art Institute.

The 217-foot tall tower has been Kansas City's testament to BASILI BANK TEL. (03) 917-8545 the fallen and surviving soldiers of World War I since 1926. It's not as easy to spot the National WWI Museum. The history is hiding behind heavy doors, at the base of the memorial. In memoriam: If you want a little education with your sight-seeing, check out the Liberty Memorial, which honors World War I veterans. Besides the structure itself, the memorial offers cool interactive exhibits to check out. The Liberty Memorial Association started collecting WWI memorabilia in 1920 and they haven't stopped. After raising $102 million dollars, the 80,000 square foot dream museum was made into a reality. In 2004, Congress deemed it the official World War I Museum of the United States. Two years later it opened to the public and has been taking visitors on an emotional journey through time from 1914-1919. Inside the entrance, WVWI Museum Volunteer John Reichley tears tickets on a glass bridge, leading to the main exhibits. Nine thousand artificial poppies coat the ground underneath the glass. Each single poppy represents 1,000 combatant deaths. Reichley stresses the importance for everyone to do that math: 9 million total deaths. "A man came out and said that this was the best World War I Museum in the world," Reichley says. "I said, 'You've seen all of them in the world?'" He had. Reichley graduated from KU 28 years ago and has volunteered at the museum for four years. He will never forget his first shift. Reichley speculates the museum is the best because of the interactive exhibits. You can see the aftermath of a building blown by artillery or peek into a trench while listening to battlefield stories straight from the source. With 55,000 items and counting, there's something for everyone. You don't have to be a history buff to appreciate this tribute to the past. Check out the new exhibit "Man and Machine," which features machines of war and the men behind them. There is one vital detail that sets the exhibit apart from the rest. 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. $10 with Student ID includes Tower access (www.theworldwar.org) "It's strictly from the German point of view," Reichley says. "Everything in there was made and used by a German soldier: canteens, mess kits and the biggest horse shoe I have ever seen- that is no exaggeration." Reflect on your day from a few hundred feet above ground level. The $10 student ticket allows entry to the museum, plus tower access inside Liberty Memorial. Step into the elevator that looks suspiciously like a time capsule and 45 seconds and 45 steps later you will view Kansas City from such great heights.

NOTICE Photo Illustration | Adam Bubler SO GOOD, IT'S MAD | MOLLY MARTIN | TAKE A SEAT, POUR A COCKTAIL AND SEE WHAT THE MAD MEN BUZZ IS ALL ABOUT Businessmen wear crisp white button-downs underneath their business suits and housewives wear their hair curled into up-dos. But don't let the suit or hair fool you — these men and women aren't as clean-cut as they look. Smoking, drinking and sleeping — around are all in a day's work. It's the early 1960s, as are all in a day's work. It's the early 1960s, as told by the fictional TV show Mad Men. Watching Mad Men is like studying culture. On Sunday nights, students become anthropologists of the fictional drama, which airs at 9 p.m. on AMC. Each episode lets students observe the beliefs and behaviors of a society on the brink of social change — and the madness that ensues. How will the civil rights movement, Vietnam and second-wave feminism affect these characters and the society in which they live? Mad Men follows the professional and personal lives of the men and women at a fictional advertising agency in New York City. The character of Don Draper, the creative director at the agency, steals the show not only with his seductive and powerful presence at the office, but also with his complexities and womanizing ways outside of it. The show is in its fourth season and Topeka sophomore Michael Myers can't stop watching it. He and Leawood sophomore John Hart watch the show together each week. A few of their fraternity brothers have started to join, having never watched the series, but curious about the hype. A year ago, Myers was just as curious as his friends when he started watching the show. He says didn't know anyone who watched Mad Men, but had heard about the show's multiple Emmy wins. On August 29, 2010 the show won its third consecutive Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. Meyers says he admires the show because it is provocative and intelligent. It's a show that requires the audience to think. "You watch Mad Men, and, as the show gets deeper, you get more obsessed," he says. Natasha Vargas-Cooper, author of Mad Men Unbuttoned, says the show primarily resonates with people because it's "just great drama." She says, "It may be somewhat mystifying because so many different people like it, but that's what's so great about mass media." What sets the show apart from other TV dramas is the time period element. No other show on TV focuses on the early 1960s as impeccably and vividly as Mad Men. The historical references planted throughout each episode are why Hart keeps watching the show. For example, the current season references Vietnam and the impending war. Hart says he's also impressed with the show's commitment to the era and its historical accuracy. Stephanie Roberts, Hutchinson junior, says one of her favorite episodes was "The Grown Ups" from Season 3, which focused on how the characters reacted to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The episode showed how the characters stayed glued to the TV for days, waiting on the latest news update. The time period may seem too old-fashioned for college students, but watching the 1960s come to life on screen makes the period seem much more exciting. Roberts says. Vargas-Cooper says college students like to watch the show because it's "naughty." Man Men showcases a culture where it's completely acceptable to "drink at the office and grab a secretary's ass," she says. That glamour of delinquency still resonates among the youth of today. Ideas that authority is not to be trusted and that marriage isn't sacred began to become mainstream during this time, she says. What shocked Roberts was all the drinking and sleeping around, especially within the Sixteens wing. The AMC series Mad Men takes place in 1960's New York City. The show profiles an advertising company and the men and women who work — and sleep — together. work place. She says she didn't expect to see so much promiscuity because during the 1950s everything was so squeaky-clean. But Mad Men's creators are progressively tearing down the visage of modesty. Meyers says he sees how everyone is constantly drinking, and how that affects the characters' personal lives. As the series progresses, the effects of such behavior lead to more serious results, such as broken families. The character Draper is the perfect example of this downward spiral, he says. For example, as the creative director at the ad agency, father and man with an identity crisis, Draper has trouble keeping up with the changing society. He often resorts to alcohol. "You can see him really struggle to stay modern — to stay relevant," Vargas-Cooper says. The '60s set the mood and the historical backdrop while the characters, especially Draper, drive the show. Ron Wilson, lecturer in film and media studies and the graduate writing program, uses the term "quality TV" to describe the style of Mad Men. Part of quality TV is an incorporated version of soap operas; it showcases all the characters and how they're personal lives are depicted. Ultimately, Wilson says the college student's fascination with Mad Men relates to living to the hedonistic version of the good life.

SING OUT Early spending by Senate not a worry BY MICHAEL HOLTZ mholtz@kansan.com Pishny said allocating such a large percentage of Senate's available funds at the beginning of the semester was typical. Even so, she said shed like senators to be more meticulous before voting to approve funding. Money for the unallocated account comes from a $15.50 activity fee paid by all students as a required campus fee. "I would just caution people to really look at the bills," said Pishny, a senior from Lenexa. "I would like to see more questioning of people in finance [committee] and in full Senate." Senate allocated $35,467, or 30 percent, of funds available to student groups during its first two sessions. Last year, Senate had approved $30,365 after two full sessions, or 26 percent of its unallocated account. Money from the unallocated account funds events, speakers and other activities sponsored by student groups. It also pays for general costs associated with those groups and costs associated with Senate. What appeared to have been an early spending spree in Student Senate was nothing more than business as usual, said treasurer Erin Pishny. The largest amount approved so far this year was $19,100 in salary increases for members of the Student Executive Committee. Despite the early spending spree. Pishny said Senate should have enough money to last through the school year. "I don't really see it being a problem," Pishny said. "We have a good amount of money unallocated to fund the projects that students have on campus." SENATE TO WORK ON A MISSION STATEMENT Senate committees each elected two members to the President's Taskforce on Mission, History and Vision on Wednesday night. Smith said he would choose two students unaffiliated with Senate to also be members. Smith said he was shocked when he first realized Senate didn't have a formal mission statement. He said it was an integral piece of any organization's success. "We want to make sure that Senate is keeping campus moving forward." Smith said. "To do that you need to have something that's creating that vision and that purpose for you." Smith said he'd like to see a completed mission statement by mid-November. Student Body President Michael Wade Smith announced the formation of a new taskforce designated to create a Student Senate mission statement Wednesday. "As long as we display it, read it and know it, it's going to inform the decisions we make for a lot of years to come," Smith said.

NOTICE PAINTING THE TOWN TWEET MICROBLOGGING'S EFFECT ON LAWRENCE MUSIC AND ARTS. JOSH HAFNER twitter The best way to discover what's new in our world ics Yom Kippur News Stories See who's here Photo Illustration Howard Tine A little birdie told me: With the popularity of Twitter, some artists and musicians have found a new way of promoting. Now concert and gallery-goers can find out about events almost instantly. The walls of the Wonder Fair Gallery, 803% Massachusetts St. can't talk, but they do send messages. The textual art of Chicagoan Matthew Hoffman adorns the cozy gallery's white walls and hardwood floors. One section shows gravestones with sardonic, hand-carved epitaphs of the long-gone, such as "My only regret is that I can no longer Google myself with my morning coffee." The pieces satirize our generation's ties to Internet culture, and our other infatuation: cynical irony. It's ironic, then, that across the room through shelves of for-sale artwork and handmade crafts, sits Wonder Fair curator Jason Barr on a MacBook, scaling the web. He's sending a message that transcends the gallery's walls into the Twitterverse: If @VICE_VBStv or the @VICEMAG crew come to Lawrence for the Scion Garage Fest, gotta hit up the @AsteroidHeadArt home gallery @WonderFair! His tweet is directed to VICE Magazine, an indie culture rag whose staff is rumored to visit Lawrence for an upcoming music event in October. Barr and the Wonder Fair are part of a growing number of artists and event organizers that use Twitter to expand and connect Lawrence's evolving arts scene. Barr has used Twitter for two years, and between Wonder Fair and his personal account, boasts about 1,000 followers who receive short updates about his work and responses to followers' comments. Barr says moreo than Facebook, Twitter offers a quick, streamlined way to find out what's going on downtown and meet interested people. "On Facebook I have so much stuff that it's really hard to sift through," he says. "But Twitter sort of jumped the shark over everything." One of the people Barrr follows on Twitter is Zach Hangauer, founder of Range Life Records, a local label releasing music by artists like Fourth of July and Suzannah Johannes. During an interview (arranged on Twitter) at his downtown apartment, Hanaguar says using Twitter keeps his label accessible to community fans. "As long as you have cultural contributors and interested people taking Twitter seriously, it's a great way to converse locally," he says. Amid boxes of records and band posters in his apartment, Hangau can search "Fourth of July" to see what Twitter users are saying about his label's artist, or even respond to a Jayplay writer's interview requests. In some ways, Hangauer says these live conversations on Twitter provide a pulse of cultural happenings downtown — a void long empty in Lawrence. "With Twitter it feels like there's a synergy again, like you can dependably connect with people. It's a good nucleus," he says. Social media experts in Lawrence agree. Last month, Hangauer and Barr spoke at the Lawrence Social Media Club, a weekly meeting of area enthusiasts. With Tricia Rock and Brent Carter, founders of area art blog The Rathaus, they discussed the ways interactive media affects local culture. Ben Smith, social media consultant and club founder, says Lawrence's small-town size enables online connections to jump over into real-life relationships, cultivating communities and promoting events. That's a valuable commodity if you're an artist or musician, Smith says. Rarely are the words "artist" and "entrepreneurial" uttered in the same breath, but Barr believes creatives know how to sell to survive. "Whether a car or painting, you have to equally care about what your making and successfully market it," he says. That marketable opportunity occurred last month during Lawrence's initial Final Fridays art walk downtown. Just 10 days before its first event, the Twitter account "FFLawrence" began posting updates, replying to community members, and getting shout-outs and links from Range Life, Wonder Fair and The Rathaus. By the night of the event, a buzzing online conversation emerged, connecting those at the buzzing real-life event downtown. Though Final Fridays' online efforts could have been better organized, Hangauer says the enthusiasm of savvy startups in the arts scene made it possible. Final Fridays' Twitter account now gains about 80 new followers each week. Slowly, yet somehow surely, Lawrence's arts and music scenes are forging new ground online, in less than 140 characters.

David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin directed and wrote The Social Network, respectively. And even though they've both had their fair share of failures, this is not one of them. The film is a biopic about Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg). In 2003, Zuckerberg was inspired to launch a website for the social experience. He enlists the help of his wealthy best friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) to pay for the servers needed to run and launch the site. However, trouble brews when Cameron and Tyler Winkleboss (identical twins both played by Armie Hammer) claim that Zuckerberg, who they enlisted to make a website for them, stole their idea, and then the creator of Napster, Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), drives a wedge in Zuckerberg and Saverin's friendship. Sorkin, does well with the court hearings for Zuckerbeg by spicing them up with snappy dialogue, fidgeting and tons of cut-aways. Timberlake shines as the wormy Sean Parker who's so easy to hate, as do Eisenberg and Garfield in their roles as frenemies Zuckerberg and Saverin. The film is a fair portrait of Zuckerberg, who can go from being relatable in one scene to despicable in the next. In fact, everyone involved in the creation of Facebook is depicted as easy to hate and unbelievably relatable. The film is one of the best this year. It's interesting to see how many backs were stabbed and how much blood was spilled just so you could like that picture on Facebook. CHANCE CARMIDHAEL A lot has changed in the two decades since Oliver Stone's original corporate takedown Wall Street first saturated the market back in 1987, simultaneously defining the golden age of excess and creating a new cultural icon in the form of Michael Douglas' silver-tongued corporate raider Gordon Gekko. MOVIE REVIEW // WALL STREET 2; MONEY NEVER Now, in the midst of a seemingly endless recession brought on by corruption and mindless self-indulgence, perhaps the return of Mr. Gekko and his "greed is good" mantra was inevitable. SLEEPS So, is Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps worth the investment? The answer depends on your tolerance level for Shia Labeouf and director Stone's penchant for unsubtle political sermonizing. The plot kicks off with Gekko's release from prison after serving an eight-year sentence for the insider-trading plot in the first film. The wily old libertine quickly finds himself acting as a surrogate mentor to corporate whiz kid Jacob (Labeout), who by sheer coincidence is about to marry Gekko's estranged daughter Winnie (Carey Mulligan). Jacob wants Gekko's help to bring down > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between. Real Pizza, Delivered FREE 841-5000 Dinner Special Luckily Wall Street 2 is bailed out by its immensely talented supporting cast. Douglas reprises his Oscar-winning role with savage aplomb. Josh Brolin exudes casual menace as Mr. James. Eli Wallach and Susan Sarandon both appear in brief but memorable turns, particularly Wallach as an aging market guru who equates bird calls with stock tips. All in all, Wall Street 2 pays off in dividends, especially in the stronger second quarter. See it soon, before the market fluctuates with the arrival of "The Social Network" next week. B. S. HADLAND | Bretton James (Josh Brolin), a shady Wall Street bigwig who may have been responsible for the death of Jacob's benevolent former boss (Frank Langella). Much of the film takes place on the eve of the 2008 financial crisis, the particulars of which are predicted by Gekko with eerie acuity. 14" Large Pizza $10.98 & B Fresh Wings Labeouf and Mulligan fail to accumulate much interest as the leads, both of whom come off as overly cynical and unlike from the onset.

REVIEW MOVIE REVIEW // GOING THE DISTANCE √ > Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between BARRYMORE LONG GOING THE DISTANCE APPREHATE A COMEDY ABOUT MEETING LAST OTHER HALFWAY. Going to different colleges, living in different towns or even different states can make long-distance relationships difficult and challenging. Going the Distance hits home with a raunchy, romantic comedy that is all about the distance. Erin (Drew Barrymore) is a graduate student, striving to be reporter, living in New York for the summer as an intern. With only six weeks left she tries to land a job and is turned down repeatedly. Feeling down, Erin goes out to one of the local bars. This is where she meets recently single Garrett, (Justin Long) who struggles to be fully committed in almost every relationship he has ever been in. With the help of beer and video games, one thing leads to another and the two begin a sweet and innocent, yet short, summer fling. Once the six weeks are up Erin has to go back to grad school in San Francisco. When Erin leaves to jet away on an airplane Garrett runs after her, saying he has had too much fun and doesn't want it to end. They both want to make a long distance relationship work. Issues arise like expected. The price of plane tickets, only seeing each other for a few days every few months, and the fact that Erin's sister Corinne (Christina Applegate) absolutely hates Garrett takes a toll on their relationship. If you look past the less-than-believing "I'm in love with my best friend" plot, you get a movie that could make you want to go the distance. SAVANNAH ABBOTT | MUSIC REVIEW // EL GUINCHO- POP NEGRO > KJHK's weekly guide to sonic consumption. (YOUNG TURKS | 2010 With a brand new stack of sonic gold, El Guincho rolls into fall blurring the lines between pop music, tropicalia, and afro beat. This Spanish jewel rattles and grooves, enticing listeners to pull out their dancin' shoes and hit the dance floor. That being said, this is not an ordinary pop music experience, nor is it like their 2008 release Alegranza. This eloquently-produced album is immediately catchy like a pop album should be, but has the potential to be more than that annoying song stuck in your head for weeks. The mix of styles between songs allows them to stand out, but blend together well. One of my favorite elements to dance along to is the steel drum, which bounces through sick melodies as a feature or is used as a backing rhythm instrument to add some pep to the tracks. Both "Novias" and the catchiest track, "Soca Del Eclipse," start with slick rhythms based around the steel drum's activities and turn into the easiest tracks to sing along to, though I have to guess the Spanish lyrics. The steel drums do EL GUINCHO BOR HESPO not start the melody of "FM Tan Sexy," but eventually rip in with a very sensual dance beat that elicits passion. Unfortunately, some haters may be stuck on the fact that El Guincho's previous release sounded similar to a Spanish lo-fi version of Animal Collective, but El Guincho has taken the time to create something inspirational that reminds people to enjoy the inherent qualities of life and challenges you to dance along. ☆☆☆ ZACK MARSH Jade 翠苑 Garden Chinese and Pan Asian Cuisine Late Night Hours!
