LOCAL BRIEFS
STATE
The lawsuit, filed by Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri on June 28th, challenges a state budget provision that restricts their organization from receiving federal Title X funds. Three days later, the Department of Health distributed a portion of the funds in question to the two county health departments.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment disclosed this morning that it has allocated over $204,000 in federal funding to family planning programs in Sedgewick and Ellis counties. The announcement came only a week after Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri filed suit against the agency for financially stonewalling their organization.
Last year, the federal government dispersed over $317 million in Title X family-planning funds to the states. The money is then dispersed to state hospitals and health clinics.
Department allots funds for pro-choice programs
The budget provision does not mention Planned Parenthood by name, but states that it seeks to "defund" any abortion providers.
Planned Parenthood currently has clinics in both Wichita and Hays, the largest cities in Sedgwick and Ellis counties. Neither clinic provides abortion services.
When contacted, Peter Brownlie, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, was out of town and unable to comment on legal matters until Wednesday. In a publicly issued statement, Brownlie said he intends to continue to dispute Planned Parenthood's exclusion from funding, maintaining that women have a right to affordable health care without being subjected to political motives.
It is currently against the law for any Title X funding, regardless of its recipient, to fund abortion services. Planned Parenthood uses Title X funding only for the family planning services that the grant funds at county health departments.
James Armstrong, attorney to the governor and the secretary of health and environment, could not immediately be reached for comment.
If the state budget remains as is, the Planned Parenthood clinics will lose nearly $331,000 in funding to provide sexual health care to low-income women in the area.

Name change allows greater recognition
The University of Kansas announced on July 1 that the Department of Public Administration will be renamed the School of Public Affairs and Administration.
The designation was unanimously decided among program faculty and approved by the Kansas Board of Regents in April. Talks about making the switch have been in the works since 2008.
The change from a department to a school allows more opportunities to be recognized by more people around the country. It also brings about the opportunity of naming rights. In time, the School of Public Affairs could be named after someone who has gone through the school and distinguished themselves or have given money to the school.
The U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Master of Public Administration degree in city management and urban planning first in the nation since 1998. It currently ranks No.7 overall with the University of Michigan in program rankings.
The school's Edwin O. Stene Master's Program in Public Administration is one of the oldest in the United States. The program serves students who are pursuing careers in city management and public service organizations.
In addition, the school expects that this change will assist in fundraising, Marilu Goodyear, Director of the School of Public Affairs and Administration, said. With more fundraising comes the availability of more scholarships for students.
"Being a school, as opposed to a department, recognizes that we are a full-service research and teaching enterprise." Goodyear said.

RESEARCH
$1.5M grant can help combat drug addiction
BY WESTON PLETCHER
wpletcher@kansan.com
A U.S. Department of Health survey in 2008 reported that more than 9 percent of children between 12 and 17 years old use drugs. A $1.5 million grant will allow University of Kansas researchers develop new compounds to help people fight drug addiction.
These compounds could someday help people using drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
The Specialized Chemistry Center and Center of Excellence in Chemical Methodologies and Library Development at the University of Kansas together have formed and developed five classes of molecules, also known as chemical compounds, that show the possibility for additional treatment.
These molecules are designed to interact with what are known as kappa opioid receptors, which are located in the human spine. The receptors play a role in drug dependency.
The compounds created in this project will initially be used to study the pharmacology of the kappa opioid receptor (KOR). These studies could provide further insight on the physiological role of the KOR in humans.
Kevin Frankowski, research associate, said the KOR plays an important role in the normal human stress response and other physiological functions. KOR antagonists have shown promising effects in the stress-induced reinstalment
of cocaine, nicotine, and morphine using animal models.
"The more immediate goal of the project however is to increase the fundamental understanding of the precise role the KOR plays within the complex physiological
car signaling cascade" Frankowski said. "Such knowledge would be useful in determining the best approach toward modulating the KOR as a potential target for the treatment of addic
ment of addiction."

University ups recruitment out-of-state
Non-natives bring in big bucks and possible answer to fewer Kansan high school grads
BY LAURA ERDALL
lerdall@kansan.com
Going to school out-of-state can be costly, but the price of an education at the University of Kansas will go up this fall semester for both Kansas residents and non-residents under a proposal before the Kansas Board of Regents.
Since 2008, tuition for in-state incoming freshman has increased from $3,438 to $4,182; that is a $744 increase for an undergraduate taking 15 hours per semester. For non-residents, tuition has risen from $9,030 to $10,875 since 2008 -- a $1,845 increase per semester.
Lisa Pinamonti Kress, director of Office of Admissions, said that officials would like more in-state students, but recent studies show that there are less students graduating from high school in Kansas.
Kansas projects to have about 3,400 fewer high school graduates a decade after 2004-05, a decrease of more than 10 percent, according to the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education website.
"Since graduating classes are on a decline in Kansas, we're trying to recruit students primarily from the Midwest," Kress said. "Especially from Minneapolis, Nebraska, Texas, Colorado, Missouri, Chicago, Iowa and Oklahoma."
"Since graduating classes are on a decline in Kansas, we're trying to recruit students primarily from the Midwest..."
by 20.7 percent, and the Midwest by 14.2 percent.
Regionally, in the decade leading up to 2004-05, the number of high school graduates grew the fastest in the West at 34 percent, with the South growing by 23 percent, the Northeast
The South will see the most growth in its production of high school graduates, at about 9 percent by 2014-2015. West's numbers will climb by 7.1 percent. But the number of graduates produced in the Northeast and the Midwest will decline by 6.1 percent and 3 percent.
"KU is expanding its efforts in California to recruit because there's a growing population of students there," Kress said.
Office of Admissions did a one-year comparison to last fall and
LISA PINAMONTI KRESS director, Office of Admissions
found that there's a growth in recruitment of students from cities such as Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis, some areas in California, and St. Louis.
University regional admissions representatives are assigned to territories across
the country to attend college fairs and make individual trips to high schools to talk about coming to KU. Territory managers are on the road from September through October and they put on numerous events in the spring.
Last fall, the total head count on the Lawrence campus was 26,266 with 18,147 being Kansas residents and 8,119 being non-residents. That's 70 percent of students from Kansas and only 30 percent from out of state.
"The Office of Admissions won't know official number of students, both Kansas residents and non-residents, until the 20th day of classes because students will still be enrolling up to that point," Kress said.

Parking employees often targets of students' abuse
A
Rob Buffmire, KU Parking and Transit safety and security officer, says that he sometimes bears the brunt of frustration from drivers who park illegally.
BY MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
Rob Buffmire routinely interacts with KU students. Unfortunately, most of the interactions include profanity-filled rants.
"You have to have thick skin with this job," said Buffmire, a Parking and Transit safety and security officer. "Most of the time when you've given people a chance to come to their senses they listen. They usually get the idea the first time."
Buffmire, a senior from Salt Lake City, is one of about 20 employees who issue campus parking tickets. As a safety and security officer, he said at times he is verbally abused and even physically provoked.
"Most of the time people start yelling, getting raised voices if they don't like what's going on," Buffmire said. "Once or twice people have gone to push me but there has never been actual contact."
Parking tickets and permits are the two main sources of revenue for Parking and Transit, which uses the funds to repair campus roads and maintain parking lots. The department has issued more than 50,000 tickets in each of the last three school years, including 54,835 for 2010-11.
Buffmire's altercations have been relatively tame compared to some of the incidents involving his peers. Some ticketed or towed drivers have threatened violence with baseball bats and camera tripods, said Dave Moore, Field Operations Manager for Parking and Transit.
"We do have confrontations," Moore said. "There will be some days when we don't have one. There will be others where we have quite a few. It depends."
There are five full-time officers and 17-to-20 student hourly employees who patrol for parking violations between the hours of 7 a.m. and midnight, according to Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit. Hultine has been with the department since 1981. She said incidents between safety and security workers and parking violators are on the decline but there are still people who will not accept responsibility.

"In my mind, and maybe I'm simplifying this too much, but I think it's pretty easy to be in compliance or not," Hultine said. "[Officers] are really just following the rules. They're not doing it with emotion. They're not judging people. You either have a permit or you don't."
The most heated altercations occur when a vehicle is towed, Moore said. If the situation escalates, officers are instructed to radio KUPD for assistance. Recently officers had to forcibly remove a student who refused to exit a vehicle about to be towed.
"We are in direct contact with the KUPD and we can get them there rather quickly, which we do not hesitate to do." Moore said. "I don't have tolerance for someone who would take it to that level."
said. " [Mangino] had a certain level of what he expected, I think."
Perhaps the most well-known altercation occurred in June 2007 when former football coach Mark Mangino tracked down and confronted a student employee. Mangino was ticketed because he wanted to park closer to an entrance than the location of his reserved stall, which was about 70 feet from the entrance, Hultine said.
"The student could have quickly walked away and been fine," Hultine
Buffmire said employees tend to be more understanding and less confrontational than students, but being respectful to the safety and security officer is beneficial to everyone.
"If they're nice and appropriate, we are not required to finish a ticket when the owner of a vehicle shows up." Buffmire said. "We are usually very kind about it, and most people understand."
Despite some of the incidents involving his coworkers, Buffmire said he does not feel intimidated on the job.
"I'm never threatened when people walk up when I'm writing a ticket," Buffmire said. "Sometimes they yell, but it's usually not that bad."

RABAT, MOROCCO — In the lead-up to historic elections her on Friday, five KU students studying abroad in Morocco had an opportunity to witness political change firsthand.

"I really hope this election will get more people involved politically, because it seems that most Moroccans, including myself before this election, really don't want to have anything to do with politics. The face Morocco is changing and we all should help to make it what we want."
"The desire for political change is undeniable here, Holland said. "It's really interesting to see how the king has handled everything.

"Morocca needs active people," Zineb Abbad El Andaloussi, a senior at Al Akhawayn, said. "The problem is that our social system is all over the place. Our middle class is almost nonexistent. Families are either super rich or super poor, and if you can't afford to take your kids to school then they will not receive the knowledge necessary to participate in the growth of our country. I ultimately want a transfer of power to the people, but we don't know who these people are yet and what they would do with this power. Education is what it is going to take to take people out of the dark so they can form and act on their own opinions and not just do what they are told."
As a student studying abroad in a foreign country, the opportunity to witness these kinds of fundamental changes is quite unique.

"This can be seen as the beginning of a gradual move toward more democratization in the future, although, for some these immediate changes are simply not enough," said Driss Maghraoui, history professor at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco. "The major concentration of power will still lie with the king. He still has the role of commander of the faithful. He is still the supreme commander of the military. He will also maintain his ability to remove the prime minister. But still for others this is seen as an important step in the right direction."
The history of voting in Morocco has been one of floundering participation. With reportedly corrupt parties and rigged elections, most Moroccans have shied away from the voting process, or even political dialogue altogether.

"Unfortunately, this is the voting situation in Morocco," Maghraoui said. "The level of corruption in the past has deterred many from wanting to vote because they know it will not
do any good. This was especially true prior to the rule of the current monarch. This regime has been slightly more transparent, though many of the political parties have been discredited. People also know that the King ultimately still has the power. This is something though that I think this regime would like to change. If people don't go out to vote it will not look good for them."

University officials want drivers to slow down for pedestrian safety on roads just northwest of campus. To make that happen, four speed cushions - gentle speed bumps - will be installed at two intersections on West Campus Road.
The University will pay $60,000 to install the speed cushions, which are just outside of the campus' property line. The speed cushions will be installed at the intersections of West Campus Road and Stratford, and 11th and West Campus Rd., by Joseph R. Pearson Hall. Jim Modig, the university's director of design and construction management, said the speed cushions are expected to be in place before students return to classes in August.
A speed cushion is similar to the familiar speed bump except that it rises and stays flat for a distance before falling back to the pavement. The cushions allow buses to pass over the bump with ease, Modig said. KU buses pass through both intersections on their routes.
"Speed cushions don't have as severe of a bump, but enough that you know to slow down." Modig said. "That is the intention to slow traffic down and make crosswalks safer."
Modig said there are safety concerns at both intersections because of the high volume of student pedestrians and traffic. A traffic study conducted by the city showed that approximately 3,700 vehicles passed through the intersection at Stratford and West Campus Road during a 24 hour period. The visibility of oncoming traffic is not good for pedestrians at the 11th Street and West Campus Road intersection, Modig said.
"We want traffic to slow down to make sure pedestrians have time to react to oncoming cars." Modig said.
David Woosley, the city's traffic engineer, said police can't be everywhere enforcing the speed limit at all times and that traffic calming devices, like speed cushions, are the only way to slow traffic down in a problem area.
"Students brought this forward as a safety concern," Modig said.
"The city will put plans together and contract out to have construction take place," Woosley said. "Then KU will reimburse the city for all the costs."
Both intersections are located on city streets, and not KU streets. Modig said the city has been receptive to the project. The University and the city often work as a team on street improvements near university property.
Both locations will have two speed cushions installed on each side of a cross-walk. Half of the $60,000 total is
funded by the Campus Safety Advisory Board from past student fees. The University is paying for the other half with repair and rehabilitation funds, Modig said.

The city has a long list of approved road improvements that lack funding.
The project is a priority for the University and is being paid for by it because it benefits students, Modig
said.
"If we didn't take the initiative to pay for this project, it would go on the bottom of the city's list," he said. "We might have to wait 5-10 years to get it done."

Summer time and the living is easy. For some of us, summer means sleeping in, letting our KU Outlook Express inboxes fill to bursting, and going to the Bahamas to get drunk with our siblings. For the rest of us with jobs or summer school, there simply isn't time for us to leave the country to vacation.
Cue in, a substitute vacation. There is a place where one can go for an hour or two on a Wednesday with just a handle of tequila and a bottle of baby oil.

COMMUNITY
Company's mission is one that spreads hope and inspires many
During my freshman year at the University I dove into as many different clubs and activities as I could. I learned how to swing dance, cheered on sports teams and struggled through a French conversational dinner. All were important and added to my college experience but the most significant event I attended, one that helped alter the course of my life, was listening to Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, speak at the Lied Center.
The organization began as a shoe company in 2006 with the idea that for every pair of shoes sold, one would be given away to a child in need. In September 2010, the TOMS organization celebrated its 1

millionth pair of shoes sold, just four years after the company was founded.
founded. But TOMS didn't stop there. June 7,2011 the company announced its introduction of TOMS Eyewear. For every pair of sunglasses sold, one
person is helped to get their sight back through medical treatment, prescription glasses or sight-saving surgery.
Not everyone can afford a pair of TOMS, which range from $40 to $65, or a pair of the new sunglasses that average between $135 to $145. I have to save up my money and remind myself that I am really buying two pairs of shoes — I just don't get to wear the other pair. But picturing a child getting his or her first pair of TOMS at a shoe-drop or wearing them on his or her first day of school makes it worth it for me.
The best part about TOMS is that it involves you. This isn't a charity, it isn't just a shoe company and it
most certainly isn't a fad. TOMS is a movement, a One for One movement to be specific. But I think it's even more than that.
The TOMS organization, movement, whatever you want to call it spreads hope. It touches everyone from a blind man in Nepal to a seven-year-old girl in South Africa who has never owned a pair of shoes and even, upon occasion, has the power to inspire an 18-year-old girl in Kansas to become a part of something bigger than herself.

Committee vows to bring K-10 barriers
BY HANNAH DAVIS
hdavis@kansan.com
Tina Hopson is a private person. Her husband, Mayor Scott Hopson, is more comfortable in the limelight. Recently, Tina, a mother and grandmother, has had no problem knocking on strangers' doors, tabling in public parks and speaking with the media.
On April 20, a crossover accident on Kansas Highway 10 claimed the lives of two Eudora citizens, 5-year-old Cainan Shutt and 24-year-old Ryan Pittman. That accident thrust Hopson into the public sphere.
"I don't have any problems putting myself out there," Hopson said. "I am at heart a private person but that takes a backseat when we're dealing with something of this magnitude."
Mayor Hopson said the accident served as the catalyst for the formation of the Kansas Highway 10 Advisory Committee. The committee's goal is to generate a plan to improve K-10's safety. Committee member Capt. Doug Baker, Johnson County Sheriff's Department, said they met with Kansas Department of Transportation representatives on June 23 to review K-10 crash data.
"They said we may have a valid point, but we are competing for funds within the state." Baker said.
Committee Member Tom Mulinazzi is a professor of civil engineering at the University of Kansas. His role is to "provide the facts and let the people make the decision."
"There are two arguments in this situation. There is the emotional argument, which is very compelling, and the factual and fiscal argument. We have to figure out how much this will cost and how many lives we can save," Mulinazzi said.
There are three types of median barriers: cable median barriers, guardrail barriers and concrete barriers. According to Mulinazzi, the installation of concrete barriers on 1-70 in Missouri reduced the number of head on collisions by 99 percent. Concrete barriers prevent cars from crossing over into incoming traffic and redirect vehicles forward, instead of spinning the car back into its original lane going the wrong direction.
"Cable barriers and guard rails snag at cars, causing property damage, personal injury and in some cases fatalities," Mulinazzi said.
Tina Hopson and Ali Shutt, Cainan Shutt's mother, are circulating a petition that asks Gov. Sam Brownback to install any one of the three types of median barriers on K-10. Volunteers go door-to-door and table at public parks and community events collecting signatures. She plans to set up a table at Lawrence's downtown sidewalk festival on July 15.
Citizens interested in signing her petition or learning more about installing medians on K-10 can contact Tina Hopson on her Facebook page, "Support the Effort to Install Crossover Cables on K-10."
"We've got the momentum, but we need to get this petition out there," she said. "I will drive to citizen's front door if that is what it takes to get them to sign this."

A target listener aims at his own industry bullseye
Last week
In-depth writer Calvin McConnell profiled Nicole Hodges Persley, assistant professor of theater. The article examines the intersection of hip-hop, performance art and academia in her work at the University. Catch up with the series online at Kansan.com.
James Baker bobs his head to a jazz-infused beat as he and a sweaty, eclectic audience in downtown Lawrence get a full serving of Midwestern hip-hop. A white male from a suburban background, he's smack in the middle of the music's target audience, but the 22-year-old self-proclaimed "hipster" promoted tonight's concert and has a vested interest in its success.

Baker attended the concert, which ran from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., and he was astonished at its level of constant intensity. "I remember I got back to my apartment and said, 'That was like six hours of entertainment, what's up with that?'

At the time, Baker was also a D.J. at the University's radio station, KJHK. He brought his newfound interest on the airwaves and began to promote local artists like Louis Ripp, atilla, Greg Enemy, Approach and Stikfiga—all from Kansas City, Lawrence or Topeka.

But Baker, the bearded, suburban kid, a senior from Dallas, had a more unexpected introduction to hip-hop. He didn't listen to "gangster rap" in his teens. In fact, it wasn't until Baker's sophomore year of college when he joined his predestined market classification.

He said he offers a fresh perspective to artists, entrepreneurs and entertainers that have been in the business for years.
"I found a passion in it. Maybe not making it, or producing music or anything like that, but just being involved in a community that is really accepting," Baker said, looking back at his rapid progression through the local hip-hop scene.

Bike races bring revenue to Lawrence
BY KYLIE NUTT knutt@kansan.com
During the Fourth of July weekend, many Lawrence residents generally leave town. The Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau hopes to change that by establishing an annual event for the city to generate revenue by rolling in cyclists to race and entertain crowds.
Bob Sanner, director of sports marketing at the Lawrence CVB, and Eric Struckhoff, race director, created the Tour of Lawrence, a three-day USA Cycling Pro-AM (professional/ amateur) event.
"This is the one weekend in the summer when it is typically slow for Lawrence hotels, restaurants, and retailers," Susan Henderson, director and marketing manager at the Lawrence CVB, said.
"That was kind of the importance behind it, was to develop an event that would bring business to Lawrence at a time when otherwise businesses are fairly slow," Henderson said.
ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO
The event is funded by 23 sponsors such as U.S. Bank, Free State Brewing Company, Sunflower Outdoor & Bike, Springhill Suites and Crown Toyota.
Sunflower Outdoor & Bike has donated all three years because it wants to help the Tour of Lawrence as much as it can, said Dan Hughes, owner of Sunflower Outdoor & Bike.
"We donate a couple thousand dollars every year, which doesn't sound like a lot, but for us it's a chunk of change," Hughes said.
Each participant is required to pay a registration fee for each event that costs from $10 to $45. A $25 fee is
charged for cyclists who are not licensed through USA Cycling, Henderson said.
The Lawrence community has helped with the event by making in-kind donations such as donating hay bales that are used to cushion light poles and posts, Henderson said.
Sponsors, registration fees and the Lawrence community help fund the Tour of Lawrence and together provide a cash purse of $20,000. The money is distributed in various amounts throughout all races for top finishers.
The event is volunteer intensive with 300 volunteers who help set-up and run the event, Henderson said.
ROLLING ALONG
Hundreds of professional cyclists traveled from around the country from states such as Texas, California,
Missouri and Colorado to race in the Tour of Lawrence. The Professional and Category 1 and 2 cyclists make their living by racing, Henderson said.
Andy Schoen, a cyclist from Platte City, Mo., raced Saturday on the University's campus. It took him about 48 minutes to complete the 4 miles up and downhill.
sao. Anyone was able to race throughout the weekend but get a chance at the cash purse, but the races are geared toward professionals.
"It [the race] made me feel like I was going to have a heart attack every time I went up, but there's a great reward with it," Schoen said.
Schoen struggled with the heat, but fortunately his family was there to drape wash cloths over his head and pour ice on him. "That was about the only way I made it," Schoen said.
THE CHAMPION
The Tour of Lawrence event struggles to break even each year, but any money left over will be donated to the Heartland Community Health Center, Henderson said.
The health center offers a medical clinic, behavioral health services, education programs, food pantry and an emergency utility assistance program, according to a news release.
Even though the event is not making a profit yet, it is still important to keep the prices where they are. If prices increase cyclists may reconsider coming to an event, Henderson said
"We hope someday we'll be giving away lots and lots of money to the beneficiaries, but the event is not in that place right now," Henderson said.

Inmate says pornoraphy denial is against rights
(Mount Clemens, Mich.) — A Michigan jail inmate says he's being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment because he can't have pornography.
In a handwritten lawsuit, 21-year-old Kyle Richards claims his civil rights are being violated at the Macomb County Jail. Richards says denying his request for erotic material subjects him to a "poor standard of living" and "sexual and sensory deprivation."
The Michigan Department of Corrections tells The Detroit News that prisons allow some pornographic material, though it's banned at the jail. The American Civil Liberties Union says prisons have a lot of leeway.
Richards was charged with bank robbery after police followed a trail of snowy footprints and dropped money to his apartment from a bank robbery scene in January in Fraser, north of Detroit.
Richards pleaded guilty. Sentencing is Aug. 2.
Vigilant hawk hits heads of passing cyclists
(Pendleton, Ore.) — Bicyclists in eastern Oregon say they're getting whacked on the head by an angry bird.
Riders in Pendleton, Ore., told the East Oregonian that a male hawk is dive-bombing them because they're too close to a nest he's guarding in an old cotton-wood tree.
Bicyclist Mack Temple says the bird came in from behind like a fighter plane and whacked his helmet. Another rider, Charlie Newhouse, says the attack on his helmet was "like getting hit with a baseball bat." He says the talons went in through the helmet.
Bird-watchers say the large bird is a Swainson's hawk. The riders say he's been vigilant for a few nesting seasons, but hasn't been as aggressive as this year.
Bird-watchers say the hawk will ease up once his brood learns to fly.
Capture of baboon ends brief Twitter fame spree
(Howell Township, N.J.) — A wayward baboon that apparently escaped from an amusement park and became a mini-celebrity — appearing at a golf course and being followed on Twitter — was captured Saturday after spending three days on the lam.
The animal appeared to be unharmed when it was found and tranquilized at a farm in Howell Township, in southern New Jersey. The farm isn't far from Six Flags Great Adventure's Monkey Jungle in Jackson Township, which has about 150 baboons that are part of a drive-through safari.
Park officials confirmed the capture and said they believed the animal was theirs. But they won't know for sure until it's assessed and they can see if it has a microchip that's embedded in all their baboons.
Numerous online followers tracked the baboon's travels after it initially was spotted Thursday. Many posted on a tongue-in-cheek Twitter account created by a person
posing as the baboon.
Park spokeswoman Kristin Siebeneicher said the baboon, which appeared to be an adolescent, would be taken to the park for a physical exam and health assessment. She said all of Great Adventure's baboons are vaccinated, fenced in and implanted with microchips beneath their skin, but they are not counted daily because they sleep outside in the Monkey Jungle preserve.
And if it turns out that it was one of their baboons that escaped, park officials want to know how it got out because they have found no signs that an escape occurred.
Police and park officials had been looking for the baboon since Thursday afternoon, after a driver saw it near Interstate 195, not far from the park in Ocean County. A short time later, a woman reported that the baboon was sitting on her back porch.
Several sightings were then reported in nearby residential areas on Friday, and officials thought they finally had the baboon cornered in a tree at a local golf course.

Two new deans bring changes to school
BY BRITTANY NELSON

PETER B. HOWARD
A year ago, the University of Kansas School of Business was warding off accusations that the student differential fund was not being spent properly. In 2004, Dean Fuerst appointed a differential funding fee of $102 in course fees for undergraduates and $186 for graduates. In total, business school students spent $31 million dollars on differential funding to "represent an opportunity to invest in their own intellectual capital," yet students were wary of where the money was going. After much investigation, it was settled that the money was spent appropriately, and now the School of Business is looking forward to better communication and understanding with two new deans. Neeli Bendapudi,dean starting August 1,is currently a marketing pro-
Houston
fessor at Ohio State University. Doug Houston is the associate dean who took office July 1.
An experienced KU faculty member, Houston has been at the KU Business School since 1981 and has been the director of the Finance, Economics and Decision Sciences area of the School of Business since 2004. Houston explains the new energetic direction that the School of Business will take.
Is the business school still dealing with the differential funding situation that occurred a couple of years ago?
There was a question to where the increased differential tuition spending was going.
Q&A
The major concern that was raised at that time was that we didn't have complete oversight. There was supposed to be a committee that was in place all the time throughout the academic year that reviewed the spending and that started and then it lapsed for awhile, and so that was an issue. But, in terms of spending, how the money was spent that was audited, there was an external audit done on that, and basically the arguments that were presented was that we had spent the money appropriately. There was a few small discrepancies, but the asked amount of that money was used for exactly what it was intended to be used for and with the students who were involved with the differential tuition and reasons for many years back, 2005 I believe, what they intended was what the money was spent for. Going forward, our new administration is very much going to make sure actively and persistently, that it is going to be spent well intended. We will have faculty and student committee that are willing to address that.
What are your goals for this school year?
The No.1 objective is that students come out of here with good jobs at the end of it. When they've spent the time, they've engaged and done well in the programs, students should have good job prospects. That means paying attention

Distributed Rules of Play at Tournament
Must Be
The rules of play for the tournament are laid out in a specific format. Each game is divided into sets, with each set consisting of two games. The sets are arranged in a clockwise direction.
1. **Set 1:** Begin with a 3-point guard position. Players from both teams take turns shooting from this position.
2. **Set 2:** Move to the center court and attempt to score three points by shooting from the center circle.
3. **Set 3:** Move back to the left side of the court and attempt to score four points by shooting from the left circle.
4. **Set 4:** Move back to the right side of the court and attempt to score five points by shooting from the right circle.
Each player must take turns shooting from their respective positions. If a team scores more than three points, they advance to the next set. If a team scores less than three points, they退回 to the starting position.
After all sets are completed, the winning team is determined by the total number of points scored.

to what our business constituents want and desire, and it's very important that we do that. The nature of what our programs are about is depended on what this economy, what this business world, is looking for. We have to pay a lot of attention to that, and we will.
Is the growing technology affecting the business school's teaching?
Yes. For example we have a new supply chain management major. And a lot of what supply chain management and logistics purchasing areas are about these days is highly technologically based. Information technologies and the cutting edge are what are being applied in businesses, so if we're not involved and
engaged in understanding that stuff.
Do you have any goals for the new school year?
Well, I can't speak for our new dean, but I know her and respect her and she will be very energetic, very engaged in making sure that this school of business is well known and certainly, part of my job is with the academic programs internally and she is going to be externally very active. I think we will have a lot of energy and excitement around the school of business. It's a good thing because it's good to have aspirations and something to shoot for. I know we will have some high standards and I look forward to trying to make a lot of things happen this year and the year after.

LAW
The Associated Press reports that the mother of a 19-year-old Cornell University student filed a wrongful-death lawsuit Monday in Brooklyn against the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity.
George Desdunes died in February during an alcohol-related fraternity event in Ithaca. The lawsuit, which seeks $25 million in damages, says that Desdunes was made to drink alcohol in excess while his hands and feet were bound in a mock kidnapping. He was found unconscious on a couch at the fraternity house and later pronounced dead.
Cornell University has revoked recognition of the fraternity following the incident.
In March, the national and Kansas chapters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon settled a lawsuit stemming from the death of Jason Wren, a 19-year-old freshman who died from alcohol poisoning in the Kansas house, 1308 W. Campus Rd., in March 2008.

A full car of adults is not wearing their seatbelts. The driver is seen by the police wearing no seatbelt and is pulled over. The police issues a ticket for the driver and the passenger in the car on a PRIMARY violation. The two people in the back are not issued a ticket because the driver was pulled over for a seatbelt violation.
A full car of adults is not wearing their seat belts. The driver does not stop at the sign and is pulled over. The police officer issues a ticket for everyone in the car for not wearing their seat belts. The two in the back are issued on the SECONDARY law because the driver was pulled over on other traffic violations. The driver and front seat passenger are issued a PRIMARY violation.
Scenario three
A car full of people ages 14-17 are all not wearing their seat belts. The police pull them over for not yielding. Everyone in the car is issued a ticket under PRIMARY violation.

When Josh Fisher, talking baseball over burgers and fries at a downtown Kansas City restaurant, cryptically tells a jaded Royals fan "not to worry" because there are "good things in the works" for next year, one is inclined to listen, even if only cautiously. The University of Kansas graduate is, after all, a baseball insider, even if he is only 25 years old.
He has made himself an insider through the singular pursuit, as a citizen journalist, of one story: a messy Los Angeles divorce that opened up the Dodgers' books to public controversy and led to bankruptcy and Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig's move to take over the team earlier this year.
Fisher is the creator of Dodgerdivorce.com, a website devoted to the public distress of the Los Angeles Dodgers and its owners. Frank and Jamie McCourt. In the past 20
months, Fisher has gone from unknown blogger to a public fixture in one particular constellation of the sports media, writing about the divorce and other baseball topics for ESPN-LosAngeles.com and The Hardball Times.

He missed the first month of law school last year because he was attending the McCourt divorce trial. Fisher said he found himself flying to Los Angeles for the trial because Molly Knight, of ESPN The Magazine, unexpectedly called him and asked "when are you getting in?"

"That was a surreal experience," Fisher said. "That was when I was like, 'this is real.'"

GUEST COMMENTARY
Don't blame lockout on players
BY NICK SCHWERDT editor@kansan.com
In the wake of the current NBA lockout situation I've caught myself staying up, watching re-runs of every series from last year's playoffs, followed by violent weeping (i.e. Chris Bosh after game six) until I fall asleep.
It's been less than a month, and I'm already feeling Smeagol-like nostalgia. Why? Because I know the owners are about to take "my precious" away from me.
FIRST EDITION
Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs capped off what was arguably the most provocative season since MJ called it quits. Television ratings and league-wide buzz were as high as they have been in recent history, and many casual fans have finally become intrigued by the NBA once again.
Perfect timing for work stoppage, right?
these tremendous losses?
Last season, 22 of 30 NBA teams lost a total of $370 million as stated by the league. So who's at fault for
The blame most certainly doesn't fall on the players' shoulders. This season they brought us an intoxicating seven months filled with more drama than an after-prom party at Becky's house. The likes of Lebron, Kobe, Dirk, Durant, and Rose restored the league to prominence once again, as if to tell the NFL and MLB, "Hey dudes, you know we kick-ass again right?"
Mary Altaffer/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Although he will be the talking head for the owners during these negotiations, David Stern shouldn't carry the burden of blame either.
Mary Altaffer/ASSOCIATED PRESS Union chief Billy Hunter speaks to reporters after a meeting with the NBA, June 30 in New York. Hunter said then that "it's obvious the lockout will happen tonight" after players and owners failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement, potentially putting the 2011-12 season in jeopardy.
He implemented a dress code a few years ago to rid the association of the "thug athlete" image it had acquired thanks to Ron Artest and the melée at the Palace. The NBA is now a league of young gentlemen, and has finally gained the respect it had yearned for.
So much for that.
It seems absurd that so many teams are losing money, until you take a look at exactly how the -- -owners have been spending their scrilla. Last year Rashard Lewis averaged about 12 points per game, while Michael Redd has played in 28 total games in the past two
seasons. What do these players have in common? They are two of

ment” was when he realized that sports columnist Peter Gammon s was following him on Twitter.
Gammons is now just one of 2,296 people following Fisher as he tweets regular updates on the Dodgers drama. He said he is in contact with the Dodgers front office, and speaks with Frank McCourt often, along with attorneys on all sides and Dodgers public relations.
beginning in October of 2009. when he obtained Jamie McCourt's divorce application. He was in law school at the University of Minnesota then, having graduated from the University of Kansas as an English major with a minor in business.
"It was the money," Fisher said, explaining his particular interest in the case. Fisher grew up in Los Angeles a Dodgers fan and came to the University of Kansas partly in order to be near his brother Chris, who
was living in Lenexa at the time. Like his brother, he joined Delta Upsilon Fraternity, where he made his fraternity brothers watch the Dodgers play the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2009 playoffs and flew to L.A. for the National League Championship Series when the Dodgers went down in five games against Philadelphia. His passion as a fan combined with an interest in business when he learned the Dodgers franchise was about to explode in 2009, and all the controversial business dealings of its owners were to
Kansas. But he decided as a sophomore English major that he was best served by taking the shortest route out of school and looking for a job. He was responsible for the cost of his tuition, and had "hated school ever since I was two."
"Everything that could go wrong with the Dodgers did go wrong and I'm really looking forward to the stories that I can tell in a few years once this has all cooled down."
be made a matter of public record. The spark that ignited it all was Jamie McCourt's divorce application, which someone sent to Fisher before it hit the news. As a law student he "knew the words," and called his purchase of the website the best 10 dollars anyone will ever spend.
JOSH FISHER
creator of Dodgerdivorce.com
In retrospect, Fisher said, he should have studied finance as an undergraduate at the University of
Fisher graduated in 2008, with a business minor that focused on credit financing at a time when credit short amid the global financial crisis. He worked at a bank for a short time before entering law school in Minnesota, and it was then that he took
more than an amateur interest in following the Dodgers.
In Fisher's view, the fall of Dodgers ownership is a three stage failure that contains echoes of a national economic collapse of housing and credit. First, the McCourts' purchase of the Dodgers was "leveraged to the hit", partly supported by investments in real estate that evaporated in 2008. Second, Fisher
said, the McCourts had the opportunity to fix their financial problems without making their bookkeeping public.
public.
He suspects dramas such as the McCourts' play out behind the scenes at many baseball franchises, but don't become public unless a court case opens the books.
Speaking of the fallout from the divorce, Fisher says, "They had the opportunity to make sure I was never relevant, that nobody in this field was ever relevant. But they didn't. Any success I've had is entirely related to their decisions not to fix this." The third stage of failure Fisher describes as an ongoing disaster where the worst possible seems always to happen, from bankruptcy to Selig's takeover of the team to the looming conflict between the McCourts and major league baseball, which Fisher said he expects to be "bitter and contentious."
LIVING WITH
DODGERDIVORCE.COM
"Everything that could go wrong with the Dodgers, did go wrong. I'm really looking forward to the stories that I can tell in a few years, once this is all cooled down," Fisher
said. "I'm an accidental journalist - I didn't mean to. I got a break on a big story before anybody else did. Who am I? I'm a 25-year-old nobody."
Meanwhile, Fisher has recently moved to Kanasas City and is preparing to start a job at the downtown law firm of Bryan Cave LLP, where he will work in corporate transactions. His brother, Chris, lives nearby in Parkville, Mo., and his mom is now the house mother at Delta Upsilon in Lawrence. He said he will continue to report on the Dodgers cases.
Dodgers cases:
"You don't throw something like this away," Fisher said. He will continue operating the site as long as there's a use for it. He has acquired skills and credibility as a sportswriter and a wealth of contacts, which he feels will be valuable to him in the long run, even if he isn't sure exactly how.
But at the same time, covering the Dodgers is a lot of work, and Fisher will soon need to focus on his new job at the law firm.
"I can't have these people filing for bankruptcy every week," he said. "I didn't buy Tigerdivorce.com."

Pitcher Paulino shines in Royals' win over Sox
(Chicago) After ending a long winless drought, Felipe Paulino reflected on his journey.
Paulino struck out nine in six innings for his first victory in more than a year and the Kansas City Royals defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Tuesday night.
"I've worked so hard for this opportunity that Kansas City gave me," Paulino said.
Alcides Escobar hit a two-run triple and Matt Treanor had a tiebreaking single for the Royals, who beat Jake Peavy to win for the fifth time in 19 games.
Paulino (1-2) was acquired from Colorado for cash on May 26 after starting
the season 0-5. He allowed three runs and scattered nine hits while walking two on 120 pitches.
It was Paulino's first win since June 4, 2010, against the Chicago Cubs. He finished last season 1-9.
"It's been a while, I think," Royals manager Ned Yost said.
Paulino pitched in and out of trouble all night as the White Sox left 13 on base.
"He's a big beast out there." Treanor said about the 6-foot-2, 270-pound pitcher.
For the second time in a week, the White Sox failed to break the .500 barrier. They have not been above .500 since April 15, when they were 7-6.

the top five highest paid players in the NBA.
This would be an appropriate time to laugh.
Now, sports fans all over the globe must listen to multi-millionaires sit around a table and argue about who is going to get the bigger piece of a very lucrative pie. If and when the two sides come to an agreement, it's hard to tell who will even care about their product anymore.
It is clear that the owners hold the cards, mostly due to the fact that they own the most money. David Stern has gotten punked in the last two collective bargaining
agreements, seeing as the players have been receiving 53-percent of the income.
Here's what to look for: the days of six-year contracts are over. The majority of contracts will lie in the two or three year range with the chosen few getting that fourth year. Contracts that are still on the book will probably be scaled back around 20-percent meaning instead of making $30 million in three years, Kobe is only going to get $24 million. Oh the injustice!
The biggest toss-up is what will happen to the salary cap. Will it stay soft? Or will the owners message the thought so intensely that the only logical thing is to make it hard? All I know is, by the end of
the summer someone is getting screwed.
With the two sides being billions of dollars apart, it seems as though we are inevitably headed towards a painfully lengthy bargaining session that could cost the fans their entire 2012 season, and whenever the NBA does return, it will take on a substantial face-lift that will be impossible not to notice.
I hereby declare this the Summer of the Lockouts, and yes, I'll wake you when it's over.

The North Korean team managed to score three goals in the second half, securing a victory for their team.
The championship match was a great success, with both teams becoming national champions. It will be remembered as one of the most exciting basketball games of all time.

Trafic jams expected with Sixth Street construction
TRANSPORTATION
Lawrence road crews began road construction on parts of Sixth Street Tuesday, July 12. The $1.2 million project may cause headaches and confusion among local drivers.
Crews started the repaving process between Kentucky and Massachusetts streets where they will be milling and overlaying the road. Construction will cause various lane closures on Sixth Street.
There will only be one lane traffic available in each direction. Megan Gilliland, communications manager, said the most important thing would be to use the West exit to lessen congestion at Sixth and Massachusetts streets.
After completing the overlay between Kentucky and Massachusetts streets, the crews will start again at Kentucky Street and work towards Missouri Street.
The construction will continue moving west on Sixth until it reaches Iowa Street. The whole process is expected to conclude on Aug.12,weather permitting.
Kentucky Street will be undergoing another construction project starting July 15. The Lawrence Utilities Department will replace waterlines on Kentucky from 19th to 12th streets, 9th Street from Vermont to Tennessee streets, 18th Street from Tennessee to Kentucky streets, 13th Street from Tennessee to Vermont streets and Tennessee Street from 9th to 10th streets.
Traffic on 18th and 13th streets will be restricted as work is being completed along with the work on Kentucky Street.
The construction project will affect one lane of traffic on Kentucky as parking and the easternmost travel lane will be closed.

Research library gets Sci-Fi writer's works
The works of a pioneer in science fiction literature will live long and prosper at the Spencer Research Library.
More than 60 people gathered last night to celebrate the addition of the most comprehensive collection of late writer Theodore Sturgeon's works to the Spencer Research Libraries collection.
Sturgeon wrote two scripts for the Star Trek television series. His most famous contribution to science fiction and pop culture is the Vulcan salutation "live long and prosper." The Blue Man Group, The Grateful Dead and Kurt Vonnegut all referenced Sturgeon in their work as well.
"This is the definitive collection of Sturgeon's materials. We have his manuscripts, personal pages, correspondence, and books," Smith said.
Sturgeon worked closely with the Center for the Study of Science Fiction before his death in 1985.
Rebecca Smith, director of communications for the KU libraries, said the collection is remarkable because of its diversity. Sturgeon's daughter, Noel Sturgeon, gifted the $600,000 collection of her father's works to KU.
"Having his works and papers detailing his process will impact the teaching research and learning in science fiction," Smith said.
Getting Sturgeon's works to Lawrence was a collaborative effort. The Spencer Research Library worked closely with the English department to bring Sturgeon's works to the heartland.
Curators at the Spencer Research Library are processing the collection. Librarians are reviewing and documenting each work to add to their online database. Students can come into the Spencer Research Library and review the collection.

Wilk retired in 2009 as a commercial sales executive at Hallmark Cards and is now a consultant on community outreach and strategic planning. He served in the Kansas House of Representatives for 16 years, chairing both the House Appropriations and Taxation committees. He was co-author of the Kansas Economic Growth Act, which created the Kansas Bioscience Authority.
Gov. Sam Brownback announced new members to the Kansas Board of Regents last week, and because of their backgrounds it's no surprise that some at the University of Kansas are looking forward to his first three appointments: Fred Logan Jr., a former Kansas Republican Party chairman, Robba Addison Moran, wife of U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, and former state Rep. Kenny Wilk.
Logan, a lawyer, is a partner at Logan Logan and Watson in Prairie Village. He has served on the Johnson County Community College Board of Trustees, the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and the Shawnee Mission School District Committee of Excellence.
Moran, also a lawyer, worked as a law associate at Stinson Morrison Hecker in Kansas City and as an assistant professor of business and a music staff accompanist at Fort Hays State University.
KU officials pleased with new regent appointees
EDUCATION
Diane. Goddard, vice provost for administration and finance, said that her office looks forward to working with the new board members because of their backgrounds with higher education and leadership experience.
"The Board advocates access and is eager to prepare students for successful careers," Martin said.
Along with many other things, the Board administers the state's student financial assistance programs. According to the Kansas Board of Regents website, over $20 million in-state funding was made available for student financial assistance. Over 13,000 students received state financial assistance through 16 scholarship, grani, waiver and other programs.
Jack Martin, deputy director of public affairs, said that because of their backgrounds, the three new members will be committed to excellence and will continue the beliefs that the Board of Regents shares.
Goddard said that the new appointments have shown an understanding of how important higher education is for the state's economy, noting the research at the University of Kansas Cancer Center that could lead to it receiving a National Cancer Institute designation.
"We're committed to cooperating with the board and we know that they will show support to us as well," Goddard said.

US breaks rules in detainee visit access, UN officials say
(Geneva, Switzerland) — The United Nations' torture investigator on Tuesday accused the United States of violating U.N. rules by refusing him unoffered access to the Army private accused of passing classified documents to WikLeaks.
Juan Mendez, the U.N.'s special rapporteur for torture, said he can't do his job unless he has unmonitored access to detainees. He said the U.S. military's insistence on monitoring conversations with Bradley Manning "violates long-standing rules" the U.N. follows for visits to inmates.

The Army private stands accused of being the source of a trove of sensitive documents about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

US: Syria's Assad failed to prove himself legitimate
(Beirut, Lebanon) — Syria accused Washington of provocation Tuesday after the U.S. said President Bashar Assad had lost legitimacy and the American administration had nothing invested in him remaining in power.

Leon Panetta makes his shaky debut in Iraq (Baghdad, Iraq) — At once blunt and bubbly, poised but prone to gaffes, Leon Panetta showed on his first oversea trip as Pentagon chief that he has framed his agenda but not yet mastered the art of expressing it publicly in detail.
the art of expressing it publicly. In a talk to troops in Afghanistan he said he was the CIA director (his previous job). The next day he invoked the language of George W. Bush in saying the S.A. is at war in Iraq because al-Qaida attacked on 9/11 — a message that runs counter to view of his boss, President Barack Obama.

Panetta, 73, told reporters at the outset of his five-day journey that his main aim was to personally thank U.S. troops for their work and sacrifices over a decade of war.

Until now, it was opened several times a year in coordination with the Israeli military, but because of its sensitive location, it had not been regularly open to the public since Israel captured the site from Jordan, along with the rest of the West Bank, in the 1967 Mideast war.
That war left the site in a heavily mined no-man's land along a hostile frontier until Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty in 1994.
(Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan) — Four suspected U.S. missile strikes in northwestern Pakistan in less than 24 hours killed at least 42 alleged militants, an unusually heavy barrage at a time when relations between the two countries are badly strained, Pakistani intelligence officials said Tuesday.

The location, where many believe John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the waters of the Jordan River, is one of the most important sites in Christianity.
(Uasr El-Yahud, West Bank) — Israel opened the traditional baptism site of Jesus to daily visits Tuesday, a move that required the cooperation of Israel's military and the removal of nearby mines in the West Bank along the border with Jordan.
The strikes follow the Obama administration's announcement that it is suspending more than one-third of U.S. military aid to Pakistan until disagreements are worked out. The attacks indicate the White House has no intention of stopping the drone program even though the attacks have increasingly caused tension with Pakistan.

COMMUNITY
KU community stocks food drive this week
BY MEG LOWRY
mlowry@kansan.com
Damien St. Julien knows what it is like to be hungry.
When his daughter, Dacia, was only two years old, St. Julien was laid off. A single dad, he struggled to make ends meet. For nearly three months, he would regularly skip meals, barely able to put food on the table for his daughter every night.
Now, St. Julien not only puts food on the table for his three-year-old daughter, he also helps provide food for all of Douglas County.
"As a single dad, I get it," said St. Julien, the warehouse manager at Just Food, the Douglas County food bank, 1200 E. 11th St. "People come in and I never judge them, because I know what it is like to be hungry."
This week, the annual KU Summer Staff Food Drive will be collecting food donations and money donations to donate to Just Food.
The food drive benefits a cause very relevant to the community. At least one in six people in Douglas County needs assistance to feed themselves or their families.
"When people realize that there is a need, and a demand, they really come through," St. Julien said. "Especially the community at KU."
To use the services at Just Food, clients must fall below the 185th percent of the federal poverty line. Clients must also have proof of being Douglas County residents.
This year is the first year monetary donations have been accepted.
St. Julien says the bank bank sees between 36 and 72 clients a day. Clients pick up food once every 30 days.
"No one should be ashamed," St. Julien said. "Everyone knows someone, who is in a tight spot or maybe has lost their job."
The Summer Staff Food Drive hopes to help keep the shelves stocked during the remainder of the summer.
Donations almost always drop during the summer months, and University donations can help combat the shortage.
Nikki Ware, a volunteer employee at Just Food, says she is touched by the generosity KU students show throughout the year.
"I see kids that are 18 or 19 come in, and they are bringing whatever they can just to help," Ware said. "It's just very special to see students doing that on their own time."
The Summer Staff Food Drive is a convenient way for students to get involved this week. Until Friday, donation sites will be located throughout campus. Monetary donations can be made at Just Food's website, eckan.org/justfood.
"There is absolutely no reason anyone in Lawrence should go without food," St. Julien said. "Whether they live under a bridge or in a mansion, no one here should be hungry. There is enough for everyone."

Mike Gumnoe/KANSAN Tory Roberson works in below-freezing temperatures at On the Rocks, 1818 Massachusetts St.
Whether spending hours in a 30-degree freezer or standing over a 400-degree stove, temperature can have a major effect on people As blasting heat continues in Lawrence, workers who slave away in extreme weather discuss the pros and cons of working in uncomfortable environments.
HOT: ROOFING
"It's smart to wear long sleeves, pants, a hat and light-colored clothing to protect yourself from the sun," Lutz said. In the summer, Lutz said the workers keep water and Gatorade jugs on the ground and take frequent breaks.

Working atop a roof under a 100-degree sun is probably one of the most blistering jobs in the

COOL: ICE CREAM
Kaylee Daily puts on her sweatshirt every time she has to go to the back freezer at Cold Stone Creamery, 647 Mass. St.
In the summer months, it doesn't get that cold unless you go into the freezer," Daily said. Cold Stone has three freezers, one that is 20 degrees below zero, one for backup ice cream that is two degrees below zero and the last freezer for ice cream that is about to be served is at around 3 degrees.
HOT: GARBAGE COLLECTION
"Workers go through an extensive training program. People can fall into compacts, trucks have car accidents and people on the back step get run into by other cars," Pruett said.
With safety gear and precautions, trash staff members take,many steps to ensure their safety,and the summer months are more uncomfortable than the winter,so the staff is supplied with plenty of water and Gatorade, Prruett said.
Craig Pruett, once a trash loader and now the operations supervisor at Lawrence Trash and Yard Collect, 1140 Haskell Ave., said that loading trash can be fun and it is a great job for people who love to be outside and be mobile around the city.
and be mobile around the city.
Although it may be an enjoyable ride, trash pickup is the ninth most dangerous job in the U.S., according to businessinsider.com. Last year, a man was killed in Leavenworth from working on the trash truck. He hopped off the step and the driver accidentally backed up over him.
Charles Atherton, assistant meat marketing manager at Dillons Grocery, 1015 W 23 St., said that after 12 years of working in the meat department he is used to the cold.
COOL: MEAT HOOKS
partment he is used to the coat. "The meat has be stored 40 degrees or under otherwise it'll go bad," Atherton said. People wear jackets and warm clothes, but he usually wears a T-shirt, he said. There are other physical dagers besides cold, though. He has more than a decade of meat cutting under his belt and no problem with his hands of joints as of now, but Atherton said arthritis is inevitable.
"My boss, who's been doing this for 30 years, just had carpel tunnel surgery. There's a high percentage of arthritis in this line of work." Atherton said.
Arthritis aside, Atherton said his favorite part of working in the meat department was the camaraderie with people.
HOT: CHEF
Standing over a taming saucepan or pulling fresh bread out of a 400-degree oven is no sweat for Rick Martinez, executive chef at Free State
Brewery, 636 Mass. St.
"We try to keep air moving, we give people frequent breaks and we offer neckbands with ice to keep them cool." Martin said.
Cooks also have an incentive to work hard during the hot months. Martin said that if the heat index outside goes beyond a certain point, cooks get a bonus in their hourly wage.
"The cooks get paid more so it makes the heat a little better," Martin said.
With 25 to 30 different menu items at Free State Brewery and an incentive to work hard, working with extreme temperatures is not as bad as people think, Martin said.
COOL: LIQUOR CAVE
Working in a room with hundreds of stacked beer and liquor boxes and music blaring in the background is many college students' dream. Tory Roberson works in the beer cave at On the Rocks, 1818 Massachusetts St. for about eight hours a day, five days a week.

EDUCATION
University to offer honorary degrees, nominees unknown
BY CHRISTY NUTT
cnutt@kansan.com
The University of Kansas is in the process of awarding honorary degrees for the first time, but information on honorary degree nominees is being treated with top-secret care.
Susan Kemper, psychology professor and committee leader for honorary degrees, will not even reveal how many candidates have been submitted.
The Kansas Board of Regents amended a policy that banned regent universities from giving honorary degrees last month, said Vanessa Lamoreaux, Kansas Board of Regents spokesperson. It is not clear when or why the original policy that banned honorary degrees was put in effect, Lamoreaux said.
With the recent amendment to the policy, the University is now able to award four different honorary degrees: a doctor of laws, science, arts or letter, Jack Martin, KU spokesperson said.
"We don't want nominees to be disappointed if they are not chosen," she said. "We don't want this to turn into some kind of lobbying campaign or popularity campaign."
"This is a way for recipients to have their contributions recognized by a top university." Martin said.
Anyone can submit a nominee by filling out a candidate submission form available on the chancellor's website. The public's deadline to submit a nominee is Aug. 15.
Kemper said the committee is looking for candidates who have made a fundamental contribution to society as whole and changed the way we view our world and ourselves.
"This is designed to honor people who make outstanding contributions not just to the university but to society at large," Martin said.
PETER J. SMITH
The committee will select candidates from the pool the public submitted to present to the chancellor. The chancellor will then evaluate the selected candidates to present to the Board of Regents, which will select the honorary degree recipients.
Kemper said she expected the Board of Regents to announce the recipients for May commencement in early spring.
The chancellor will honor the recipients at May commencement with plaques and hoods. It is a possibility for recipients to make a speech at commencement, but depends on the recipient, Kemper said.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Bernadette Gray-Little may give honorary degrees in next year's commencement.
Kemper hopes this will be a way for the University to show its judgment of academic excellence to the international community, she said.
"It is interesting that KU has, in recent memory, never given honorary degrees because most universities do," Kemper said.

Students not detoured by last launch
BY BRITTANY NELSON bnelson@kansan.com
The final American space shuttle launched into space last Friday. Because of budget cuts from the government and technological advancements, NASA is saying goodbye to its long space shuttle run. This will create many changes for students studying astronomy and aerospace engineering.
engineering
Steve Hawley, professor of physics and astronomy and former astronaut, has been to space five times.
Hawley thinks students need to work extra hard academically because the job market in space engineering will be tough.
"There may not be as many jobs available. The best major for jobs is aerospace engineering. Architectural engineering students can also design habitats in space," Hawley said.
inhabits in space. Tristan Moody, a doctoral student in mechanical engineering from Lawrence, was one of one hundred people hand-picked to watch Atlantis launch into space from a private NASA suite in Cape Canaveral, Fla. With his passion for space, Moody thinks this is not the end of space shuttles.
"They have plans for future missions. There are private companies who want to launch shuttles in the next three years," Moody said.
but Moody said the current situation for space isn't the best. In 2003, there were 16,000 NASA employees. There are now 6,700 employees and at the summer there will be about 1,000.
1,000 Despite the downfall, Moody remains hopeful.
"We went to the moon 40 years ago but only scratched the surface to what we are doing." Moody said.
In order to go upward in this situation, Hawley said, he advised students to work hard and strive for advanced degrees.
"If you don't like math, you need to know how to do it. You need to love astronomy because that is what you will be doing in your career," Hawley said.
Julian Bettoni, a junior in aerospace engineering from San Jose Costa Rica, is hopeful about the future.
ture:
"The space shuttle might be over,
but the space shuttle can't do everything"
Bettoni said.
NASA has been sending robots to conquer dangerous missions as well as trying to launch new technologies to help speed up the research process.
"Every time I see the movie Apollo 13 or watch documentaries with astronauts I think, 'man I wish I could go to the moon,' Bettoni said.
Moody has some advice.
"Students need to dive into core math and science courses. They really have to love it to be able to do it well, because they are all used in space engineering." Moody said.

APPEALS
A $5,000 fine and other tales from the lot
BY MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
One University staff member has totaled a record $4,830 in parking tickets since January 2007.
Perhaps even more surprising than the record 255 tickets the employee has received is the number of appeals they have filed: zero.
Donna Hultine, director of Parking and Transit, did not reveal the employee's name but said the situation was one of the strangest in her 30 years with Parking and Transit.
"It's boggling to me as to why they would spend almost $5,000," Hultine said. "Plus, the permit that they buy is $230 a year. It doesn't make any sense to me."
The employee is not tenured enough to buy a permit closer to their building's entrance, Hultine said.
A ticket can be appealed within 10 business days. From there, the Court of Parking Appeals, also referred to as "Traffic Court," determines the validity of the claim.
In the last two completed fiscal years, fined drivers filed a total of 2,165 appeals. Of those submissions, 737 were granted, or slightly
more than 34 percent. The department collected $1,539,448 in ticket revenue for the two-year period, which it used partially to repair campus roads and parking lots.
a ticket before it reaches the appeals process, Hultine said.
"When it's something that we can't see clearly, that's what the court is there for," Hultine said.
Ali Serum, a sophomore from Olathe, successfully had one of her tickets overturned before it reached the appeals process. Last April, a meter ate all her change outside the Robinson Center. When she returned, she discovered a ticket on her windshield.
She wrote Parking and Transit an e-mail that night and said the ticket was unfair. A few days later, the department returned the e-mail telling her the ticket had been voided, Serum said.
Serum received four other tickets last year but the April fine was the only one she appealed.
In some situations, Parking and Transit will void
"I do feel it is a reasonable process," Serum said. "There are other times when it feels like you have two minutes left and they're waiting to write you a ticket. They seem kind of like vultures wanting money, but they can be understandable because they did help me with my situation."
"When it's something we can't see clearly, that's what the court is there for."
The Court of Parking Appeals is led by a student chief justice who is
DONNA HULTINE Director of Parking and Transit
elected by fellow student judges at the end of every spring semester, according to the University Senate Rules and Regulations.
"It's a court of equity, not really a court of law"
Hultine said. "The court looks at extenuating circumstances."

If a situation is out of a ticketed driver's control, such as a vehicle breakdown or a sudden illness, the appeal is likely to be granted, Hultine said. However, Hultine said not all of the appeals filed are exactly reasonable.
"There was a student who wrote that she had a yellow permit and she thought that meant she could park on a yellow curb." Hultine said. "[Other examples] escape me right now. They kind of all run together."

Are you trying to sound poetic on the FFA?
I'm going to see you today, and I'm more excited about it than ever.
A) Who are you talking to? And B) Why should anybody give a damn?
Sorry, I gave you the herpes, babe.
Can I have my penls back now?
Suffering from insomnia?
Try duct tape and chloroform AKA the Caylee Anthony special.
Hey, beautiful with the eyes, can you PLEASE be there Sunday at 5?
Sorry, bro, I've got plans at 5 with someone who had the balls to talk to me.
I want her more than anything in the world.
Ugh, shut the flock up already, grow a pair, ask her out and stop the stupid-juvenile-secret messages on here. It's nauseating, pathetic and no one cares.
What's more satisfying... a big fart or an orgasm?
Can't wait to break out this new cheesecake. It's going to be LEGENDARY.

Real life doesn't imitate Facebook status
SOCIAL
A friend of mine recently went on a date with a girl with whom he had connected through Facebook.
Over a few chats that spanned a week or so, they agreed to meet up in the flesh, get to know each other and maybe French kiss.
I can't blame my friend for this oversight because it's pretty common. You meet a friend of a friend in a poorly-lit area and add her later on Facebook in

Everything went fine, he said, until they actually met up. Where she seemed cool online based on her "Likes," "Activities" and Facebook chat quips, in reality she wasn't a fair representation of those traits. She was socially awkward and boring. In other words, the girl was just Facebook hot.
BY LIZ STEPHENS editor@kansan.com
She seems like someone you could jive with. But therein lies the problem. When we get to know someone based on how
they are represented on the Internet—as opposed to judging them face to face—we aren't getting the whole picture.
For one thing, our Facebook accounts are crafted to make ourselves seem fun. It's an image manipulated by the user to be something that others will like.
The boring, banal, or creepy stuff gets left off. What we really "like" (for the record: torture movies, decaf coffee, weeping quietly) we don't transmit for others to mock.
The other downside is that everyone seems cool on Facebook chat. From one end of the computer, it's difficult to discern the emotions and motivations of what a person is saying. When we can't see the other person's face and we can't
hear their voice, messages can be mistaken.
My mother once said, "Don't ever refuse a first date. You never know what the other person is really like until you meet them." While that may have worked thirty years ago, it's only half applicable now.
I say, go on dates with people. Real dates where you can hold hands and get nervous and stuff. If you like the person, add him or her on Facebook after the date.
At the end of the day, poking is so much more fun in real life than on over the internet.

POLITICS
Washington politicians incapable of making the right choice
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, lawmakers and pundits have been stressing the need of the American people to make great "sacrifices." With the country quickly approaching the debt ceiling, the talks have been growing more serious and the proposals more drastic. But despite the fact that the proposals in Washington are growing more extreme, the debate over what needs to be done about the economy seems quite narrow.
The debate simply breaks down to this: just how much should we cut? Granted, the idea of a tax hike for the super wealthy is being discussed as a viable option. But with the current political climate and with so many deficit hawks on Capitol Hill, I for one am feeling somewhat pessimistic as to whether a sufficient tax increase will happen. What does seem certain, however, is about four trillion dollars in entitlements cuts.
I
Pointicians on both sides of the aisle have been assuring Americans that such cuts are
BY MATT SOENER
editor@kansan.com
truly best for the people and the economy. Does their demagoguery hold up? Of course not
- though it is what's best for the corporate elites who fear a significant tax hike to cover the debt and the inflation that would inevitably occur if the economy were to rebound quickly.
So, as per usual, Washington is siding with its friends in the business community and its representatives on K Street at the expense of the rest of us. Anyone who is serious about creating jobs and seeing economic growth in the U.S. knows that draconian austerity measures will only exasperate an already dire problem.
With so many debt incumbent Americans struggling to pay their
health insurance; their mortgage, college debt, credit card debt and with unemployment, underemployment and poverty as high as they are in this country
most Americans are tightening their spending, in an attempt to offset their own balance sheets—subsequently hindering economic growth. Further cuts to social security, Medicaid and privatizing Medicare (which will undoubtedly be more expensive), will only result in even tighter spending and a stagnating, if not weaker economy.
Nobel prizewinning economist Joseph Stiglitz understands this perfectly well. Stiglitz not only predicted the crash but also the kind of entitlement cuts in our midst and their negative implications. Furthermore, he has contended numerous times since the fall of 2008 that if people are not spending the government has an obligation to create another stimulus package to relieve the burden of the many struggling Americans and to encourage spending.
Regrettably these ideas, which proved quite effective in the post-war period, are nowhere to be heard in today's political dialogue. This is not terribly surprising given the "limited government" dogma that has permeated political discourse for decades. Nonetheless, it is terribly disappointing to only hear of proposals that are not only bad for the economy, but more importantly, proposals that will hurt millions of Americans.
With so many people struggling to get by, Americans should be looking less towards the empty promises of politicians and more towards the bona fide examples of democracy the world has recently witnessed in Wisconsin Spain and Greece. The struggle against austerity measures and market fundamentalism overall is no easy task, but it is a far better alternative than the daily economic struggle facing most Americans.

Traditions abound in Hindu wedding ceremonies
BY KYLIE NUTT knutt@kansan.com
It was a tradition, now it's a style. Even though white horses in weddings are more popular in India than in the U.S., some Hindu Americans have fun with the popular custom.
Gypsy, a 10-year-old quarter horse paint mix, has been in one Hindu wedding.
Gypsy, a 10-year-old quarter horse paint mix, looks white as snow and was sought to be in a wedding in Lawrence on May 17.
Kylie Nutt/KANSAN
Lisa Hendrix-Mooney, Gypsy's owner, was excited for Gypsy to be in a Hindu wedding. The horse had never done anything like that.
A few weeks ago, Hendrix-Mooney posted an ad on Craigslist for Gypsy to do more weddings.
"It was a neat experience," Hendrix-Mooney said. "It was beautiful."
It is a Hindu tradition for groomsto ride on a white horse to the wedding ceremony, said Sammi Sangam, owner of Curry in a Hurry, 1111 Massachusetts St., and wedding attendee.
"It's like a knight in the shining armor," Sangam said.
Grooms ride on a white horse to the wedding venue because they are supposed to be treated like royalty. Sangam said. According to ancient traditions, girls were considered a burden because they were expensive, which is why the groom, who will be her provider, is treated this way, Sangam said.
Many Indian families save money their entire lives and are on the lookout for potential husbands so their daughters can get married. It is seen as a privilege because the groom is doing the family a favor, Sangam said.
The groom and horse are decked in jewelry and rich colors, usually red, white and gold. "The groom wears any dress that is fit for a king," Sangam said. He also wears a head piece that is well designed and decorated with jewels and sometimes pearls.
"Gold has to be a part of it [the outfit]. It signifies prosperity and grandeur," Sangam said.
At her first wedding appearance, Gypsy wore a special dress that is usually made in India, headgear and a cushioned saddle. She was covered in rich red and gold and was followed by a man with a red umbrella that hung over the groom.
The umbrella is used to protect the groom from the elements, or evil spirits. If he has younger brothers or cousins they sit with him on the horse as an angel concept, Sangam said.
Aparna Kumar, a senior from Overland Park and member of the South Asian Student Association, has been to two Hindu weddings that had horses. Her cousin entered the wedding venue on a chariot, a horse carriage, just because he wanted to, Kumar said.
"It's a 'who wouldn't want to have a horse at their wedding?' type of
Kumar has another cousin who is getting married next May, but doesn't think the groom will enter on a horse. If he does, she said it would be neat.
thing," Kumar said.
Indian weddings can easily cost $50,000, but are limitless considering a small wedding will have about 500 guests, Sangam said. The bride's family pays for the entire wedding and
hotels are also paid for by the bride's family, not the guests.
"Even if you are the poorest man in Indian context, you will make it." Sangam said. "The wedding is the greatest thing for a family."

Local writer finds performance inspiration in hip-hop

Bryan O'Brien throws his lanky arms in the air, cocks his head toward the ceiling and releases a rhythmic cadence from his chest.

It's a challenge he's kept with him throughout the years. After his family moved to Kansas and O'Brien was attending high school in Topeka, his interest in what he dubs "verbal mastery" easily translated into a passion for forensics competitions. He read in a poetry and prose competition

He found it a suitable convergence. Performance poetry brought the competition he enjoyed from his forensics days, the wordplay of hip hop and a soothing outlet for self-expression during rocky times.

But Ice and Hammer ushered in a new era—one detached from the 1980s heydays of KRS One and other hip-hop popular culture pioneers and focused more on targeting new commercial markets, even rural North Dakota.
"There was no other way I would have found out about hip-hop. I wouldn't have known about it for years and years, unless that had happened," O'Brien said, accepting that many hip-hop critics scoff at that particular era in the music's history, but gratefully accepting its role in his life.

During his first year of college, separation anxiety from his family, an "unbalanced feeling," and a knack for writing poems instead of taking notes in class, led him to leave school after just one year. Yet those very issues that came up for him in his college experience, O'Brien said, were formative in shaping his course as a writer.
"A lot of what got me into writing was trying to fix that, trying to reform things," he said.
At that same time, in the early 2000s, the University was hosting numerous poetry slams and even
after a couple years, he said, he found confidence on stage. And, in turn, he now looks at it as a challenge that he encourages local poets to take on. He said that's part of what hip-hop and poetry is all about.
"A lot of people will trash hip hop and say, 'It's really exploitational. It's all about me, me, me and the ego and all that.' I see it different," O'Brien said. "Every rapper that goes out there and says, 'I'm the best, I'm the greatest'; they are empowering themselves."

Empowerment is seen in his performance, like the reforming he set out to do after he left KU has come to fruition. His gift of recollection is apparent, too, as his poems almost invariably will pack twice as many words in less time than other readers' works at local gatherings. His poem titled "How to Talk Fast," performed in a head-spinning 30 seconds, is a good example. The lines here are spit in a split second:

Food prices rise, keeping pace with trends
BY KYLIE NUTT knutt@kansan.com
KU Dining Services is paying more for food. And now, so will you.
Prices increased between 2 and 2.5 percent last week for on-campus eateries. Officials say the reason for the bump is to keep up with the national rise of food costs.
The United States Department of Agriculture recently announced the Consumer Price Index is increasing for all foods, according to its website. The CPI measures the level of average prices paid by consumers for goods and services, including food, according to USDA's website.
The CPI increased 3.5 percent from May 2010 to May 2011, which is high compared with a 0.8 percent increase from 2009 to 2010. That was the lowest food inflation rate since 1962, according to USDA's website.
Inflation increased this year because of "cost pressures on wholesale and retail food prices due to higher food commodity and energy prices, along with strengthening global food demand," according to USDA's website.
KU Dining Services saw similar food inflation rates as the USDA. In 2009, all food prices remained the same and in 2010 prices increased 1.5 percent, said Alecia Stultz, assistant director of retail operations.
"We have to make sure what we are pricing our items because we have to cover the price of the food we are paying for and our employees' wages and overheads," Stultz said.
KU Dining Services also saw difficulties with crop and oil prices on the rise, along with other food-related costs, which led it to no other option than to increase food prices where necessary.
Various food prices increased at some of the twenty-two on-campus
dining locations.
Some recipes were altered, such as the Brellas wraps concept, to keep the prices the same, Stultz wrote in an e-mail. Other licensed dining concepts, such as Pizza Hut and Chic-fil-A increased prices to charge close to what the stand-alone stores charge.
On-campus businesses decide each year whether food prices
should increase, decrease or remain the same. But it's not as easy as one may think, in the community and across the nation, to make sure businesses appropriately charge what is needed.
which caused dining services to increase prices almost one and a half months early, Stultz said.
Dining services does benchmarking, which is comparing its prices to competitors, months prior to the end of the fiscal year to determine if prices are competitive.
"We will not lower our product standards because of price."
It is important to compare like items, Stultz said.
Most recently, coffee prices increased at the Pulse coffee shop between 1 and 2 percent toward the end of May. Stultz said. Coffee beans increased substantially in April,
ALECIA STULTZ assistant director of retail operations
"We try to find our direct competitor," Stultz said. "Somewhere else they could go, such as Panera, Applebee's, Panda Express and Jimmy John's, to look at their prices."
Items such as bottled beverages, candy, etc., had a
minimal price increase, but most remained the same, Stultz said in an e-mail.
She said KU Dining Services will occasionally find students saying
"that item is price out of my range,
I won't get it anymore, or I'll get it
twice a week."
That is why KU Dining Services tries to bundle items to make it more beneficial to students, such as adding in a cookie with a meal, so they are getting something extra. Stultz said.
Even though some students may not buy an item because it costs too much,the quality of the product will not suffer to make it less expensive Stultz said.

Food prices rise, keeping pace with trends
BY KYLIE NUTT knutt@kansan.com
KU Dining Services is paying more for food. And now, so will you.
Prices increased between 2 and 2.5 percent last week for on-campus eateries. Officials say the reason for the bump is to keep up with the national rise of food costs.
The United States Department of Agriculture recently announced the Consumer Price Index is increasing for all foods, according to its website. The CPI measures the level of average prices paid by consumers for goods and services, including food, according to USDA's website.
The CPI increased 3.5 percent from May 2010 to May 2011, which is high compared with a 0.8 percent increase from 2009 to 2010. That was the lowest food inflation rate since 1962, according to USDAs website.
Inflation increased this year because of "cost pressures on wholesale and retail food prices due to higher food commodity and energy prices, along with strengthening global food demand," according to USDA's website.
KU Dining Services saw similar food inflation rates as the USDA. In 2009, all food prices remained the same and in 2010 prices increased 1.5 percent, said Alecia Stultz, assistant director of retail operations.
"We have to make sure what we are pricing our items because we have to cover the price of the food we are paying for and our employees' wages and overheads," Stultz said.
KU Dining Services also saw difficulties with crop and oil prices on the rise, along with other food-related costs, which led it to no other option than to increase food prices where necessary.
Various food prices increased at some of the twenty-two on-campus
dining locations.
Some recipes were altered, such as the Brellas wraps concept, to keep the prices the same, Stultz wrote in an e-mail. Other licensed dining concepts, such as Pizza Hut and Chic-fil-A increased prices to charge close to what the stand-alone stores charge.
On-campus businesses decide each year whether food prices
should increase, decrease or remain the same. But it's not as easy as one may think, in the community and across the nation, to make sure businesses appropriately charge what is needed.
which caused dining services to increase prices almost one and a half months early, Stultz said.
Dining services does benchmarking, which is comparing its prices to competitors, months prior to the end of the fiscal year to determine if prices are competitive.
"We will not lower our product standards because of price."
Most recently, coffee prices increased at the Pulse coffee shop between 1 and 2 percent toward the end of May. Stultz said. Coffee beans increased substantially in April,
It is important to compare like items, Stultz said.
ALECIA STULTZ assistant director of retail operations
"We try to find our direct competitor," Stultz said. "Somewhere else they could go, such as Panera, Applebee's, Panda Express and Jimmy John's, to look at their prices."
Items such as bottled beverages, candy, etc., had a
minimal price increase, but most remained the same, Stultz said in an e-mail.
She said KU Dining Services will occasionally find students saying
"that item is priced out of my range, I won't get it anymore, or I'll get it twice a week."
Even though some students may not buy an item because it costs too much, the quality of the product will not suffer to make it less expensive Stultz said.
That is why KU Dining Services tries to bundle items to make it more beneficial to students, such as adding in a cookie with a meal, so they are getting something extra, Stultz said.

OOD NEWS
Now, that's a big baby
(Longview, Texas) — A Texas mom expected a big baby, but nothing like this: 16 pounds, 1 ounce.
Janet Johnson on Monday remained in an East Texas hospital after giving birth to what her doctors called one of the biggest newborns they've ever seen. She was awaiting word on whether her son, JaMichael Brown, ranked among the biggest births in state history.
"Everybody was amazed that he was so big," Johnson, 39, said. "I don't think too many people have heard of having a 16-pound baby."
JaMichael was born Friday at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview. Johnson has gestational diabetes, which results in bigger newborns for many mothers. Doctors had estimated JaMichael would be around 12 pounds prior to the cesarean birth.
The hospital has asked the state's vital records department whether JaMichael is big enough to approach any Texas newborn records, said Victoria Ashworth, a hospital spokeswoman. He is certainly the biggest in the history of the Longview hospital, Ashworth said.
Guinness World Records says the heaviest newborn ever recorded weighed 23 pounds,12 ounces,born to an Ohio woman in 1879.
Pink underwear is rage in an Arizona jailhouse
(Phoenix, Arizona) — The Arizona sheriff famous for making prisoners wear pink underwear is introducing a Spanish-language version of the shorts he sells to the public.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio began issuing pink underwear to inmates more than 15 years ago to cut down on theft. He began selling them to the public after speaking about them on national television.
The versions that went on sale Monday are imprinted with "Vamos Jose!" The original shorts, also $15, feature a sheriff's star and a "Go Joe" logo.
"Vamos" translates to "We go" in English. A similar-sounding word, "Vamanos," means "Let's go!" in Spanish. A more accurate translation of "Go Joe!" would be "Andele, Jose!"
Van in soberity program goes on drunken joyride
(Anchorage, Alaska) — Anchorage police say a city van used to pick up drunken people was taken on a joyride by a man suspected of drunken driving.
The Anchorage Daily News reports that 35-year-old Donny H. Weston was arrested late Thursday after police say he got into a Community Service Patrol van parked with the keys in the engine. Police say social workers were attending inebriated people when Weston got into the van.
Police say Weston drove the van for significant distance, including driving against traffic, and he eventually crashed the van into a bus and ditched it.
The van is part of a city program that picks up inebriated people and shuttles them to sleeping center.
Police say the inebriated men in the
back of the van didn't notice the joyride.
Who knew bananas could be so dangerous?
(Strongville, Ohio) — The manager of a cell phone store in Ohio called 911 to report a gorilla had been attacked by a banana.
The Wireless Center in Strongsville, near Cleveland, advertises at curbside with a man in a gorilla suit. Manager Brandon Parham says he was watching last week as a kid dressed as a banana emerged from some bushes and took a flying leap at the store mascot.
Parham says the attacker looked like a Spartan from the movie "300" — except he was a banana.
The gorilla was knocked down but got back up, adjusted his head and went back to work.
WJW-TV reports the banana split running down the street with other teens.
Police think it was a prank. They weren't able to find the offending fruit.

Rapid results HIV test could combat anxiety
BY HANNAH DAVIS
hdavis@kansan.com
Abigail Fletcher uncharacteristically declined a plate of her great aunt's famous fried chicken. For two weeks, she felt tense. Her stomach had been in knots. Her sleep had been minimal. Her life was in limbo.
Fletcher, a Wichita resident, was tested for HIV at the Planned Parenthood Center in Wichita. That was the easy part. Waiting two weeks for the results was hell on earth.
"It is like this secret I carry around all day," she said. "People smile and say hi and I respond as usual but in the back of my mind I am thinking about how my life could change once I get my results."
Fletcher received her results thirteen days, 14 hours and 45 minutes after getting tested. She was HIV negative. Traditional HIV tests, such as blood-draws and oral swabs, can take up to two weeks.
up to two weeks. Olivia Burchett would like to change that in Douglas County.
Rapid results HIV testing produces
results in five minutes but there are no testing facilities offering that service here.
"When people come in to get tested it is usually because they have engaged in risky behavior," said Burchett, a health educator at the Douglas County Aids Project. There is a lot of self-reflection, a lot of doubt and a lot of anxiety. A rapid results test allows clients to know their status immediately."
DCAP is considering offering rapid results tests, which Burchett hopes will be available by the fall.

Ken Sarber, a health educator at Watkins Health Center, said testing is important but is prevention.
Watkins Student Health Services provides information, including a 10-question worksheet every couple should complete prior to engaging in sexual activity.
Burchett said this is important in Lawrence partly because a large student population increases the prevalence of infection.
She hopes to promote discussion about HIV and safer sex in the Lawrence community.
"Having honest conversations prior to engaging in sexual behavior prevents transmission of diseases and reduces stress and anxiety in the long run," she said.
sexual activity But Burchett said the riskiest behavior sexually active people can engage in is non-communication.
Individuals should remain celibate until they receive their test results. If a person has engaged in risky behavior Burchett instructs patients to abstain
from sex for three months at which point a HIV test can detect the virus. Last year DCAP conducted more than 370 HIV tests. Burchett hopes that providing free tests with quick results will increase that number.
"I don't think I will ever be satisfied with the number of tests we are conducting. These new tests will hopefully bring more traffic our way." Burchett said. "People don't have to sit and worry. They can be honest with themselves, their partners and soon they can know their status in minutes."
Abigail Fletcher said waiting two weeks for her results was torture. Although she would have preferred a more timely result, Fletcher said the experience changed her for the better.
I had two weeks to reflect on the potential consequences of my actions. It was definitely a time full of soul searching." Fletcher said. "It was hell on earth but I'm smarter and stronger for it."

CONSTRUCTION
Library to get facelift after large donation
BY WESTON PLETCHER wpletcher@kansan.com
The summer is in full swing and so is construction on campus at the University of Kansas. Many of the buildings on campus are undergoing renovations and that includes the libraries.
Anschutz, Spahr, Spencer and Watson libraries are all seeing construction this summer, but the Kenneth Spencer Research Library is receiving the biggest face-lift.
MIDDLE EAST HOSPITAL
Kent Miller, associate dean of libraries, said the 5,000-square-foot Stokstad Reading Room will enhance the experience of all users of the book and manuscript collections in this library. Some of the improvements that students will see in the new reading room include an increase in the size and seating in the reading room, a higher quality in lighting, better sound control and an enclosed study space for group work.
After construction is complete, the Spencer Research Library will have a new interior reception space and the current reading room will be known as the Marilyn Stokstad Reading Room. Stokstad is the Judith Harris Murphy Distinguished Professor Emerita of Art History.
This is a sketch of what the new reading room in the Kenneth Spencer Research Library will look like. Construction should be finished in September.
Stokstad gave the libraries $250,000, which should cover the entire cost of renovations. She is a retired faculty member and a renowned art history scholar. Her donation will allow the new reading room to be more open,

historical artifacts like the Gutenberg Bible, Irish literature collections from James Joyce and it is also home to the University Archives, which contains the history of the University of Kansas.
"Our goal is the upgrading of spaces and equipment which support the work of our user community," Miller said. "Staff spaces are important too, but our primary goal is to make sure the spaces students and faculty use are comfortable and meet their needs."
"The archives contain Chancellors' papers, photos, Jayhawker yearbooks and the presentation of the Jayhawk," Kanning said.
Sarah Kanning, communications coordinator for the libraries, said the Spencer Research Library is home to
Libraries are like other public buildings, which need constant maintenance refreshment to support comfortable, safe and convenient access by the user community. Miller said. Students provide quality input before and after renovation projects, he said.
The Spencer Research Library is home to extensive book collections, manuscripts, photos and other items since its opening in 1968.
"We've received very positive feedback from students on past projects and we're happy about that," Miller said. "The biggest concerns students have voiced recently have been about study spaces, the number of computers available and building hours, which is part of the reason we are doing some of these projects."
This donation from Stokstad isn't the first time she's been generous to
the University. She has supported the Spencer Museum of Art, the Hall Center for the Humanities, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Lied Center.
Construction is being done by design and construction management and facilities operations and is scheduled to be completed by the end of September.

Robinson custody hearing gets date
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
A circuit court in Prince George County, Maryland, has scheduled an Aug. 17 custody hearing for Jayla Paris, 7, sister of Kansas junior forward Thomas Robinson.
Their mother, Lisa Robinson, died of a sudden heart attack at age 43 on Jan.21,and her own parents had passed on only a short time before. Following the loss, Robinson gained permission from the NCAA to set up the Lisa Robinson Foundation,a trust fund set up in his sister's name in order to collect donations that could provide for her future.
Jayla Paris is currently in the

The Kansas City law firm SNR Denton, which monitors the Lisa Robinson Foundation, is also representing the Austins in Maryland. Mark Johnson, a partner in the firm and a University of Kansas lecturer, said that there had never been plans to bring Jayla Paris to Lawrence, and any rumors to that effect had no basis in fact.

Naismith rules gets committee
BY MATT GALLOWAY mgalloway@kansan.com
A committee of more than a dozen University of Kansas officials is meeting to determine the best display place for James Naismith's original rules of basketball.
The rules, written in 1891 by the former Kansas basketball coach, sold for $4.3 million last December. Kansas graduate David Booth outbid the Smithsonian in the auction.
The rules have toured the United States since Booth purchased the original document. But Booth, a donor, has told reporters he would prefer a permanent display at the University. The rules are currently in Austin, Texas with the Booth family.
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director of external relations, said the committee is considering everything from a new stand-alone building to a smaller extension to an existing building. The committee last met in May and is working under no timetable to make its decision, he said.
"We'd like to keep proceeding on this and keep making progress, but this is not something we want to rush," Marchiony said. "This is something that is bigger than athletics that needs to involve the University, and we want to make sure we do it right."
Booth is not on the committee but is receiving updates every step of the way, Marchiony said.

K-State's point guard signs in Italian league (Manhattan, Kan.) — Former Kansas State guard Jacob Pullen has signed a contract to play for Pallacanestro Biela of the Italian League.
The school announced the move Tuesday, less than two weeks after the NBA lockout began.
Pullen is Kansas State's all-time leading scorer with 2.132 points, fourth-best in Big 12 history. He averaged 20.2 points last season in leading the Wildcats to the NCAA tournament for the third time in his four years at the school.
The Italian League team, also known as Angelico Biella, posted an 11-19 record in Series A. The current roster includes Aubrey Coleman (Houston), Edgar Sosa (Louisville), Marc Salyers (Samford) and A.J. Slaughter (Western Kentucky).

Two gored and more injured in bull running
(Pamplona, Spain) — Two people have been gored in the sixth running of the bulls at Spain's famed San Fermin festival.
Spanish Red Cross spokesman Jose Aldaba said Tuesday that one person suffered a horn injury to the back and another was hit in the shoulder. It was not immediately known how serious the injuries were.
At least two other people were treated for injuries sustained in falls in the run.
The daily 8 a.m. runs see hundreds of thrill-seekers dashing ahead and alongside six bulls and their guiding steer through the narrow, cobble-stoned streets of Pamplona to the city's bull ring.
Tuesday's race was the fastest so far at two minutes, 16 seconds. Two runs remain.
The festival draws hundreds of thousands of tourists each year.

South Korean Ryu wins all
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.
- They brought their games from South Korea to the U.S. Women's Open, knowing that success in their home country is great but America is where the real fame — not to mention money — is earned.
They played a three-hole playoff Monday, and when it was over, Ryu was the champion.
— So Yeon Ryu and Hee Kyung Seo vaulting to the top of the leaderboard, tied after a 72-hole grind that felt much longer.
After this win, her first major and first victory in the United States, Ryu became the newest candidate to be the next Se Ri.
But their country — as it has often been in recent years — turned out to be the biggest winner.
"When I was started golf, Se Ri Pak won the U.S. Women's Open tournament, so this tournament is really special for me," Ryu said, invoking the name of the 33-year-old, five-time major winner who pushed golf to a new level in South Korea starting at the end of the 1990s.
Or maybe she'll be better.
She showed all kinds of possibilities over five grueling days at the Broadmoor, capping it off with a three-shot crushing of her rival in the playoff.
Starting on the 16th hole, Ryu played the final three holes in 2-under par, all but sealing it when she hit three perfect shots to the green on the par-5 17th and made the putt for a birdie while Seo drove into a bunker and had to scramble for bogey.

For good measure, Ryu hit her approach on 18 to 4 feet for another birdie, which sparked a champagne-spraying celebration on the 18th green. Pak was among the South Korean contingent that ran out to douse Ryu in her glow-in-the-dark orange shirt and cap.
501 Maple St (785)-841-4855
Great as that moment was, it was the birdie Ryu made on 18 about an hour earlier that was the defining moment of the tournament.
Certainly nobody can ever say Ryu backed into this title, won on a 7,000-yard course at an altitude of 6,400 feet that got hit by storms every day, turning it into a test of endurance and patience for some players and a sporadic series of starts and stops for others.
Trailing by one to an opponent who had closed out her round before darkness stopped play the previous night, Ryu stood behind her ball in the fairway, plumbed her 6-iron to her nose, then closed one eye to take dead aim at the 170-yard shot. She drew the shot uphill, over the lake and landed the ball 6 feet from the hole. Moments later, she slammed the putt home to pull into a tie. She ended up with two birds in the span of an hour on a hole that yielded only 28 over five days.
It's never over 'til it's over, especially in these things," Cristie Kerr said. "People really want it, and that was a gutsy putt."
Kerr also had a chance. She came to the Broadmoor on Monday trailing by two with two holes to play, but couldn't convert a 12-foot putt from the fringe on 17 to make things interesting. She finished third at 1-under par.
Angela Stanford birdied 16 to also give herself an outside shot. But she, too, made par on 17 and wound up even par and in fourth place.
That left it a match between the two South Koreans who have been doing their dance for the last few years, jostling for position on the tour back home, deciding whether a permanent move to America would benefit them most, taking turns in the headlines and on the winner's podium.
Seo appeared to be ahead coming into this tournament, breaking through on the LPGA Tour last year with a victory that sent her
over to America full-time in 2011. She might have cemented her hold with a victory this week and she was poised for it Sunday night.
She played 36 holes over 14 hours Sunday and finished both rounds in 3 under 68 to end regulation at 3 under 281. But there was one hiccup: A short putt that trimmed out on No. 17 when she was rushing to finish — a ball hit while the wind was whipping, leaving her uneasy as she stood over it. It left her at 3 under instead of 4 under and gave Ryu a glimmer of hope.
"I think one mistake yesterday on the 17th green, that's the one," Seo said.
"So, at that time, I was thinking about, 'Oh, the time is now'"
Seo came to the course Monday knowing she might be able to collect the trophy without hitting a shot. She was warming up on the driving range when she heard a roar from the 18th grandstand. It was Ryu's approach shot.
She had to go out for three more holes and is 0-2 against Ryu in head-to-head playoffs. They also went three holes at the Chinese Ladies Open in 2009.
Seo was gracious in discussing the tournament and what it means for her country.
"I think they were cheering for both of us," she said. "So, yeah, I feel very happy that a South Korean player won this great, big tournament."
Ryu, who planned on finishing school back home before going to LPGA qualifying school, will cash a $585,000 winner's check and have a ticket to join the American tour at her leisure.
This is Ryu's first major and her first LPGA victory. She joins Pak (1998), Birdie Kim (2005), Inbee Park (2008) and Eun Hee Ji (2009) on the list of South Korean U.S. Open champions.
Ryu now holds the lead in the much-watched contest to supplant Pak as the country's greatest player, though it figures this race — like the tournament they just finished — will be a marathon. Ryu is 21 and Seo just turned 25.
"That means new history is coming in the future," Pak said. "That's what it is. It's really good to see it."

$1.7 million project to renovate track and field
Major renovations to Anschutz Pavilion, Kansas Athletics' indoor practice facility and competition venue for track and field, are now underway. The project is estimated to cost the department $1,750,000, said Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director for external relations. The renovations include new surfaces for the Ray Evans Field and the Bill Easton Track, a new scoreboard and a new sound system. Renovations began in May and are on schedule to be completed by September.
The existing 231-meter oval track was installed when Anschutz was built in 1984. The track is being upgraded to a 200-meter, six-lane track (eighth lanes on the sprint straightaway). This is the
current standard for indoor tracks.
According to a press release from Kansas Athletics, the track will also be resurfaced with Beynon BSS 2000, including a Hobart topping. The Hobart topping will provide durability and stain resistance to the track's surface. The last upgrade was in 1999 when the track was resurfaced. In addition, new jump pits, and a new pole vault box will be installed to improve spectator viewing.
"The fan experience will be greatly improved and we are excited about that," Marchiony said.
Marchiony said Athletics officials hoped the upgrades will attract more events to the facility.

HEAT!
Try to avoid sweating out dangerous weather
Everyone knows it's extremely hot right now in Lawrence, and everyone knows how to beat the heat, but here are some warning signs for heat stroke, heat exhaustion and how to treat them.
Here are some common signs of heat stroke, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention: High body temperature (above 103 degrees Fahrenheit), red, hot and dry skin (but no sweating), rapid pulse, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion and unconsciousness.
What to do if dealing with heat stroke: Get to a shady area, cool down with whatever method possible (immerse in a tub of cool water, cool shower, use a garden hose to spray down with water, fan vigorously), do not drink fluids, get medical attention as soon as possible.
Signs of heat exhaustion (less serious than heat stroke): Heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headaches, nausea or vomiting and fainting.
David Carr, assistant professor in health, sport, and exercise sciences, said the best-case scenario for students during this heat advisory is to drink plenty of water.
What to do: Rest, cool shower or bath, get in an air-conditioned environment, drink cool nonalcoholic beverages and wear lightweight clothing.
"All heat illness can be prevented with proper hydration and acclimatization." Carr said.

Ohio church holds mock retrial of Casey Anthony
(Cleveland, Ohio) -A church service in Ohio has included a mock retrial of Casey Anthony, the woman in Florida found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter.
WJW-TV reports Sunday's exercise at the In Touch With Christ Christian Center in Cleveland was led by the Rev. Una Keenon, a retired municipal court judge in the community of East Cleveland.
She asked the 12 church members who acted as jurors to consider whether it would be right to send Anthony to death row if she did not kill her child.
The church jury was hung, with eight voting guilty and four voting not guilty.
Bishop Prince Moultry, the church pastor, said the important lesson from the service was to protect children in Cleveland from the same fate as little Caylee Anthony.

UN envoy employs cautious optimism about Iraq's future
(United Nations) — The top U.N. envoy in Iraq says there are grounds for "cautious optimism" about the country's future if its leader ship is united and there is a stronger spirit of cooperation in the region.
Ad Meltkert told the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday that the key to consolidating and further strengthening "the indisputable gains" in Iraq is the successful implementation of the power sharing agreement reached last November.
That agreement was signed by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Ayad Allawi who leads the Sunni-backed Iraqiya party, and the Kurdish region's President Massoud Barzani. But bickering among Iraq's political leaders has kept the government, seated in December, from appointing new defense, interior and national security ministers.

Japan's damaged nuclear plant stable and shutdown on track
(Tokyo, Japan) — The crippled reactors at Japan's tsunami-hit nuclear power plant have reached stability more than four months since the disaster and the plant is on track for a cold shutdown within six months, the government and plant operator said Tuesday.
While hailing improved U.S.-Indian ties, Clinton also called on New Delhi to ease trade restrictions keeping American firms out of India's massive market and urged the government to quickly resolve a dispute over investments in the nuclear energy.
But her meetings with top Indian officials focused largely on fighting terror, improving ties between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Her second visit to India as America's top diplomat came less than a week after a triple bombing killed 20 people in India's financial capital of Mumbai, the country's worst terror strike since Pakistani-based gunmen rampaged through the city in 2008.
S. M. Krishna, India's foreign minister, expressed concerns that the planned U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan that began this month could lead to a resurgence in Islamic extremism.

Make sure your card bucks will follow you
BY MEG LOWRY
mlowry@kansan.com
Every year, thousands of KU students use their Beak Em' Bucks to order pizza, fill up their gas tanks and print off their papers. But when the student graduates, who keeps the change?
Since 2007, $63.430 from more than 10,000 students have been left in Beak Em' Bucks accounts and sent to the Kansas State Treasurer's Unclaimed Property Department by the University Card Center.
"If the student withdraws from the University or graduates, their money stays in their account for a year," Nancy Miles, director of the card center, said.
After one year, the money is sent to the State Treasurer's Office, where it remains indefinitely until its owner requests it.
Although more than $60,000 has been left on Beak Em' Bucks Cards since 2007, only $23,348 has been reclaimed.
"Most of the money goes unclaimed because students may not know where the money goes, or even that it is due back to them," said Kathy Priest, deputy director of Unclaimed Property at the State Treasury.
The treasury has an online database that lists all unclaimed property amounts by name, so long as the amount is more than five dollars.
In the last six months, 1,151 unclaimed property claims totaling $227,496 have been reimbursed in Douglas County. The number of claims is much higher than the rest of the counties in Kansas.
"The money students charge to their Beak Em' Bucks does not belong to the University," Miles said. "If they request a refund, we will make sure that they get it."
"University towns have a disproportionate amount of properties because students are not permanent residents here, and are often times only here for a short time." Priest said.
Unclaimed properties are listed through the State Treasurer by county.
She said that Beak Em' Bucks are a good example of these kinds of temporary expenses, which students forget about when they leave Lawrence.
"Basically, students should be aware that this is still their money," Priest said. "If they have a leftover balance, it should go back to them."

HEALTH
Has loud noise given you hearing loss?
BY MONISHA BRUNER
mbruner@ku.edu
- Students may have to trade in their ear buds for hearing aids.
A new study found evidence of hearing loss in "normal-hearing" college students. Today's generation use cell phones, iPods and have surround-sound systems. This generation might need to turn down the volume.
The International Journal of Audiology conducted a study on college student's hearing. It tested 56 college students and one in four had hearing loss. All students reported normal hearing during telephone conversations, but according to the study males who reported use of personal music players had significantly worse high-frequency thresholds compared with women.
The American Academy of Audiology has tips to determine if you have hearing loss. Some questions to ask are:
Do you often have to ask people to repeat themselves?
Do you find it difficult to follow conversations in a noisy restaurant?
Do you experience ringing or noises in your ears?
Half of the subjects in the study reported recreational use of a personal music player. Most subjects had previous exposure to other recreational sounds like loud music in nightclubs, concerts and cars. The study concluded if the music player is used for more than 30 minutes with high volumes it can possibly contribute to hearing loss.
Angie Reeder, audiologist at Schiefelbusch Clinic, said that it's not the device so much as the decibel that makes the difference.
Reeder said the steps students can take to prevent hearing are:
-Walk away from the noise
-Wear ear protection
-Turn down the volume
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, the loudness of sounds is measured in decibels. It breaks sound activity into three categories:
Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that treatment for hearing loss is generally one thing. "If it's due from an injury of repeated loud noises then you're probably looking at a hearing aid." A hearing aid can cost from $100 to $500 dollars. "Students should remain aware of what their ears are exposed to. Anytime they have an earbud or any type of apparatus in their ear they should be aware of how loud they're listening." Quinlan said.
Lawnmowers, blenders and hair dryers used for more than 30 minutes can be dangerous.
The Schiebelbusch Clinic creates custom hearing protection and earpieces for students. Reeder said she advises college students get their hearing tested as freshman and then again before they graduate so their hearing results can be compared.
NOISE LEVELS
Faint: 20-30 decibels Leaves rustling
Soft: 30-50 decibels Whisper, quiet library
Moderate: 50-70 decibels Normal conversation, dishwasher, moderate rainfall
Loud: 70-90 decibels Traffic, vacuum cleaner, alarm clock
Very loud: 90-120 decibels Live concert, car horn, sporting event, snowmobile, MP3 player at full volume, power tool, lawn mower, hair dryer, blender
Uncomfortable:
120-130 decibels Plane takeoff
Painful and dangerous:
130+ decibels Fireworks, gun shot, custom car stereo at full volume, ambulance, jackhammer

Two students testify in robbery charge
BY IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
Two University of Kansas students testified in Douglas County District Court Tuesday, describing how two masked men robbed them at gunpoint on campus in the early morning hours of June 23.
Douglas County prosecutors called the students as witnesses in a preliminary hearing in a case against Brandon Huggins, a 23-year-old soldier posted at Fort Leavenworth, and Michael Gerald, 21, each charged with two counts of aggravated robbery and charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and aggravated intimidation of a witness.
Matthew Johnson, 22, and John Allred, 22, both of Salina, each testified that two men wearing bandanas over part of their faces approached them from a parked vehicle as they walked along Memorial Drive, behind Strong Hall, shortly before 1:30 a.m.
Johnson said the men, whom he believed were both armed with handguns, ordered him and Allred to get on the ground and remove their pants. The students complied. Johnson said he was careful to move slowly, so as not to startle the assailants.
"I didn't want to get shot," he said.
Johnson said that one of the men demanded his wallet, removed his driver's license, held it up for him to see and said "just try to go to the cops and see what happens."

The men carried away Johnson's pants and Allred's shorts and returned to their vehicle, which Johnson described as an early model Honda. They then drove away, having robbed the students of about $30 in cash, Johnson's wallet anddriver's license and Allred's cell phone.

Student-run cookie delivery service crumbles
A
Jack Rafferty reminisces his short-lived business selling cookies in the kitchen of Ecumenical Christian Ministries. He's no longer running Lucky You Bakery.
BY MATT GALLOWAY

The cookie has crumbled for Lawrence's late-night cookie delivery service.
The Lucky You Bakery, a student-run cookie delivery service that opened in January and last operated in April, will not reopen. The service was barely breaking even when the three owners threw in the towel, said Jack Rafferty, one of the co-owners.

Rafferty, a senior from Shawnee, said caring for the business took a toll on him personally and academically.
"There are only so many hours in a certain week," Rafferty said. "If you have to commit so many to this project, then it's going to pull away from either your friendships or your study efforts. Something is going to suffer. For us, I'd say a lot of our friendships were strained."
The bakery operated out of the Ecumenical Christian Ministry building just west of Memorial Stadium. Rafferty, along with fellow student Bailey Olsen and graduate Will McCullough, paid $300 per month to rent the facility's kitchen every Thursday through Saturday night.
said. To offset these costs, the bakery charged $12 for 13 cookies and $1.75 for a bottle of milk.
The owners also paid $50 per night for a delivery driver, about $100 per week for ingredients and about $100 per month in insurance, Rafferty
None of the three owners had any prior experience running a business. In fact, Olsen was the only owner who even had any experience cooking. Knowing what he knows now, Rafferty said he would have waited until he graduated to open the bakery.
"To risk harming your academic standing for a business venture, I wouldn't say it's foolish because we did it and we learned a lot," Rafferty said, "but it is at least partially ill-advised. I think it's a poor investment of your time until your graduate."
Lucky You Bakery currently has 472 likes on Facebook and had about 300 followers on Twitter before the owners disabled the account. Many frequent customers were surprised when it was announced the bakery was halting production on April 28.
Rafferty said he appreciated the outpouring of support from his most valued customers.
"I don't think it surprised us because we had very loyal customers," Rafferty said. "So the problem wasn't delivering a good product and having someone order again. Our problem was that we weren't reaching enough people."
The owners did not spend a single dollar in advertising. Instead, they
relied on social media and word-ofmouth. Following a Feb. 10 article in The University Daily Kansan, the bakery reached its peak, averaging about $350 to $450 a night in sales, Rafferty said.
If the bakery could have stayed open another six months or year, Rafferty said he feels it could have turned a corner. But given his course workload and Olsen's marriage this summer, he said the owners felt they would be unable to devote the amount of time to the bakery that it deserved.
Not all student entrepreneurs agree with Rafferty on waiting until graduation to open shop. Samantha Stultz, a senior from Shawnee, operates her own marketing and web design business called KC Media Team. After going broke at Missouri's William Jewell College, Stultz started KC Media Team in 2009 and has been able to pay her way back to school with the funds. In fact, she said she purchased her most recent car with cash.
Overall, the four-month endeavor called Lucky You Bakery was a bitter-sweet experience for Rafferty. He has
not stepped foot in Checkers, 2300 Louisiana St., since April because he said he is sick of seeing it from the numerous late-night ingredient runs.
"We weren't excited about closing." Rafferty said. "We didn't plan it. We
"I definitely feel like the company has helped me expand my marketing and my portfolio," Stultz said. "This has definitely helped me with money management, responsibility and personal skills. All around it was a good decision."
never wanted to open this thing, build a fan base and then pull the rug out. But I think that, sometimes in life, things are out of your control."

If you look at Christianity from a more liberal view, such as Jesus died for my sins; therefore, I can do as I please and still go to heaven, it's a pretty cool lifestyle.
I hid my stash so well that I can't even find it... That, or my roommate stole it. Either way, I'm bummed.

Love means kissing and lying to your mom
COLLEGE LIFE
When you are out of the house for a while, there starts to be a disconnect between you and your parents. This fact couldn't be better illustrated than within the context of a conversation with my mother.
After explaining the logistics of a keg-stand — which are actually terrifying ("It sprays down your throat?" ) -- I realized that I could no longer connect with my sweet mother. She and I live different lives that are, not
"And there were boys in the hot tub?" my mother asked me. "For heaven's sake tell me that they weren't sitting by you," and before I could groan into the receiver she added, "Do you do sexting?"

Things are different when a person is in middle school. The big issues are grades, after-school sports, snacks, and the confusion of French kissing. For some reason, I think that mothers know how to handle these simple things. You used to be able to speak freely, cry even, and she

she asks you about what you did this weekend, lie to her. Don't tell her you kiss before the sixth date. She doesn't need to know about that Chlamydia scare. She doesn't need to know about the time when you peed your romper in Tonic.

SOCIETY
Brief encounters create lasting relationships, experiences
I count myself lucky to be able to recognize that this summer was one of my pivotal altering points.
In most cases this is not an idle vow. There are real dangers that these women face every day and yet they continue to surge forward and refuse to be silenced.
I this summer I met 18 amazing women from six different countries. These extraordinary women came from Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Morocco, Pakistan and Sudan. They spent their time studying the process of leadership and a variety of gender issues so that they could return to their respective countries to make them a better place.
Many of the women - aged 18 to 23 - said they were willing to die for the cause they believed in and the activism they not only participate in but actually organize.

Their bravery and dedication helped to put my personal problems into perspective. As Americans we take many things for granted, including our freedom of speech and freedom to protest a government that, for the most part, tries to listen to our complaints.
During our time together, I witnessed endless amounts of kindness and selflessness, through their interactions with each other and in every task they willingly
took on including a 4:00 a.m. trip to Jubilee Cafe to feed the homeless and building dollhouses for the Court Appointed Special Advocate group known as CASA.
They reminded me to be grateful for life's little things like roasting marshmallows, knocking down two bowling pins and the value of a hug and a smile.
value of a tag and a title
I have been humbled by their generosity, stunned by their brilliance and truly honored by their friendship. I discovered that I shared the same views about economics with an Indian, the same fears as a Pakistani and the same humor as a Moroccan.
Though I am sad that they are gone and I know that I will feel the loss caused by the abrupt end of our time together, I revel in my tears. I am so glad, despite my current sadness, that I get to go through the rest of my life
knowing that somewhere in the world they are alive and out there. Besides, the fact that it is hard to part means that it was an experience worth having.
Some things are cliché for a reason and the reason is because they are universally true. If I may close with a little cheese and a lot of love (not to mention a borrowing from the Broadway musical Wicked) I have been changed for good.
If 18 young women can change the course of my life in just five short weeks I can't wait to see what they do to the rest of the world. My time with them has re-established my hope for the future.

COMMUNITY SERVICE
Students spend summer helping others
BY CHRISTY NUTT
cnutt@kansan.com
Two things surprised Keri Schreiner while volunteering in Galveston, Texas — the amount of destruction still left in the town nearly three years after Hurricane Ike, and the amount of compassion among the community.
"Some people lost everything, but they still had a sense of giving and community," Schreiner, a senior from Shelbyville, Ky., said.
Schreiner said one woman was more worried about her neighbor's electricity getting turned on than the work the students were doing to fix her corroded porch.
The experience made Schreiner realize how fortune she is and the importance of giving to others, she said.
"The trip changed my mind about what I want to do in life. One thing I know is that volunteer work will always be a part of my life," Schreiner said.
Schreiner is just one of the 40 KU students who volunteered as part of the summer Alternative Break program, said Stephanie Jian, Alternative Break co-director. Five different groups of KU volunteers traveled to five states. The students left on May 23 for a week of volunteer
work, Melanie Gorges, the program's summer coordinator, said.
The summer volunteer work ranged from environmental conservation in Flamingo, Fla., to youth education at the Cheyenne River Reservations in Eagle Butte, S.D., Gorges said.
The volunteer trips are a lot of fun but also a lot of hard work, Gorges said.
"If volunteering is not your thing, then I wouldn't suggest it because it is a week of full-fledged work," Gorges said.
Schreiner said her group would often work nine hours a day in the Texas heat. The work was not only physical but also emotionally challenging, she said.
Participants must take a weekly class for 2-4 weeks to prepare them for the work, but the experience is also very rewarding, Gorges said.
"It is a really cool way to have a real life experience outside the classroom with other KU students while you are seeing the world," Gorges said.
Students can apply to earn honor credits by participating in the program and completing the preparatory classes.
In addition to paying for the cost of tuition, students must complete a final paper and a few reflective writings, Gorges said.
About half of participants took advantage of the honor credit, Gorges said.
The cost for students to participate in the summer alternative break without accounting for the honor credit was between $275 and $375 depending on the site location. The participation fee pays for gas and basic accommodations, Gorges said.
There are partial scholarships and payment plans available for students that can't afford the participation fee, Jian said.
Students can participate in weekend trips through the Alternative Break program as well as the summer, winter and spring trips.
Jian said more weekend trips will be scheduled next year than in previous years. The weekend trips will start on Aug. 27.
"We are extending the program a lot next year. We will have weekend trips almost every weekend during the school year." Jian said.
The additional weekend trips will help accommodate the some 300 incoming honors freshman that must complete one honorary credit hour outside of the classroom, Jian said.
The program is accepting applications for weekend breaks now. Applications are available on the Alternative Breaks website.
For most weekend trips students spend one

day volunteering at organizations in Lawrence or Kansas City, Jian said.
Weekend trips cost $5 to $10.
"If you have never done volunteer work before, it is a cool way to get started," Gorges said.

"All we knew is that we loved dance and that we wanted there to be some kind of opportunity for others in Ulysses to dance and experience what we loved so much." They were sponsored by Ybarra's mother, Paula, who helped organize and fundraise. Mom helped Ybarra find five dancers in the high school, one her own sister.

Annual sidewalk sale this week downtown
BY BRITTANY NELSON
bnelson@kansan.com
Thursday will mark the 51st annual Sidewalk Sale, which takes place in downtown Lawrence. Many vendors participate and will be selling items on Massachusetts Street at discounted prices.
Cathy Hamilton, executive director of Downtown Lawrence, Inc., which hosts the event, said that this year, there will be four portable toilets as well as animals from the Topeka Zoo.
According to Hamilton's records, 20,000 to 30,000 people attend the event each year.
"I have seen a lot of foot traffic down here this summer. So, I'm thinking it's going to be a good year," Hamilton said.
Brenna Walker, manager at Kieu's,
738 Mass. St., said that it is busy all day during the sale.
WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 2011
"Last year, we had people waiting out in the dark before it opened." Walker said. Kieu's will open at 5:30 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. on Thursday.
a.m. and close at noon.
Hamilton said that some stores set up an elaborate setup, such as canopies, fans and music, while others prefer to avoid the heat altogether and host the sale inside the store.
and host the sale inside the store.
At Sunflower Outdoor and Bike,
802 Massachusetts St., there will be
items inside and outside. Jen Beck,
outdoor shop manager, said that they
put clothing racks and shoes outside
and equipment and boxes of hats and
gloves inside.
As the discounts remain steady every year, stores open earlier for eager shoppers.
The popularity of the sidewalk sale doesn't seem to be slowing down. Hamilton said that she saw on Facebook and Twitter that many people take off work just for the sale.

Several maintenance projects on campus will continue into September, and some of them will continue to affect traffic on campus for at least another three weeks. Jim Modig, director of Design and Construction Management, said the speed cushions at the intersection of West Campus Road and Stratford are nearly completed and that intersection will be reopened by next week. But West Campus Road will remain closed for at least three weeks as a second set of speed cushions is installed at 11th Street and West Campus Road. A separate project will temporarily block traffic on Poplar Lane as crews work to bury water lines and electrical lines
behind Strong Hail. The maintenance of the campanile will not block traffic, but may be observed by passersby as crews use pressure

COMMUNITY
Look at downtown differently
BY KYLIE NUTT knutt@kansan.com
The names of current businesses may sound familiar, but now people can easily see how downtown Lawrence looked years before their favorite stores, bars or restaurants were there.
A recent project by the KU libraries in digitizing old maps makes this possible.
The maps of downtown Lawrence, which are available on the library's website, are useful for people who grew up in Kansas or have Kansas roots because they can compare the city or town when they were there to what it looks like today, said Sarah Kanning, communications coordinator for the libraries.
"So, what we wind up with is this wonderful, historical set of information that shows how these towns grew," Kanning said.
Last April, the libraries received a $30,000 grant from the National
Historical Publications and Records Commission to digitize the Sanborn map collection of 241 cities and towns in Kansas,Kanning said.The outsourced project took 11 months to digitize the map collection from 1883 to 1922.The 21.5-inch by 25.6-inch paper maps were transferred into a high-quality photograph for people to view online in order to help preserve the original copies, Kanning said.
The Sandborn Map Company's intended purpose was for insurance companies across America to buy them so they would know what risks were involved with each building. The maps helped because they indicated what the building was made out of, how many stories each building had, where the windows were and if there were sheds or outdoor buildings, Kanning said.
"The unintended consequence was these beautiful very detailed historical maps that were done every four to five years," Kanning said.
EARLY YEARS
Almost thirty years after Lawrence was established, the first Sanborn map of the city was made in 1883. A map of the 700 block of Massachusetts Street shows the city was growing with grocery stores, dry goods, clothing stores, jewelers, confectioneries, bakeries, tailors, hardware stores and billiards.
The street names running east to west that we know today as Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth streets and so on were once names of individuals, "distinguished for their Patriotism, Philanthropy, and Love of Liberty," according to the Pictorial History of Lawrence by David Dary.
Seventh Street was Winthrop Street and Eighth Street was called Henry Street in the mid-1800s, when they were first named.
Massachusetts Street is the widest street in the downtown commercial district, twenty-feet wider than the others, according to the Pictorial
History of Lawrence.
Over the years the stores have changed numerous times to keep the stores relevant with the consumers' needs.
LATER YEARS
Bob Schumm, vice mayor of Lawrence, and owner of Dynamice Saloon, 721 Massachusetts St., and Buffalo Bob's, 719 Massachusetts St., has lived in Lawrence since 1964 and has seen downtown Lawrence improve over the past forty-seven years.
In the late 1960s, Schumm opened his first business, the Bull and Boar at 9th and Vermont streets, behind Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St. At this time downtown was the center of commerce for the city, but shortly after, grocery stores and auto dealers began to move west to the suburbs, Schumm said.

The Eldridge House Hotel, 701 Mass. St., replaced the Free State Hotel in 1866, after it was destroyed in Quantrill's Raid. The current hotel was built in 1924 after the previous one deteriorated and was torn down, according to the Lawrence Downtown Historic Building Survey. The Jayhawker Bar and TEN at the Eldridge Hotel were an office and a barber shop in 1883. And the basement of the hotel was a popular hangout for college students before the sixties. The hotel lagged business and was converted into apartments in 1970 and was renovated into the hotel again in 1985. Mike Conner, a graduate student from Shawnee, said he enjoys going to The Jayhawker Bar occasionally on Thursday for half price martini night.

The Fairfax Hotel building, 710 Mass. St., was originally a restaurant on the first floor and the Lawrence Journal-World was on the second and third floors. In 1912 it was turned into a moving picture theater, making it the first community west of the Mississippi to have one, according to the Lawrence Downtown Historic Building Survey. The building also housed a billiards hall, automobile company, café, furniture store and meat market, among others.

Peter Zacharias, owner of Goldmakers Fine Jewelry, 723 Mass. St., said before he bought the building in 1969 it had been a chocolate and confectionary shop, a book store, the first free state capitol (until it moved to Topeka), the Free State party's headquarters and Miller's Dry Goods. Miller's Hall was one of two buildings standing after Quantrill's Raid. It was originally a one-story building, then had second and third floors added to it by the early 1860s, according to the Lawrence Downtown Historic Building Survey. Schumm said he also remembers it being a cafe before it turned into Goldmakers Fine Jewelry and Bay Leaf kitchen specialty shop.
The building is a large, three-story brick structure with a prominent tower on the right side. It has a decorative facade featuring arched windows and a clock tower. The street in front of it is lined with trees and buildings, indicating an urban setting.

Merchants National Bank, 746 Mass., was built around 1888, but was to First National Bank until 1972, when it became vacant. Schumm said the building was given to the KU Endowment Association, and was used as storage. They eventually sold the building and it was turned into Teller's. Dale Hardee, a sophomore from Topeka, said he knew Teller's used to be a bank, but didn't know much else about downtown's history. Abby Walters, a senior from Kansas City, said she goes to Teller's about once a month. "It is a little more pricey for students, but it's also really nice and quiet, and you have good quality food and wines," Walters said.

Later it was a sieve store, a plumbing and harness shop, cafés, barbershops, cleaners, tavern, dry goods store and appliance store. Most recently, it was the Yarn Barn, Creation Station, and now it is Tonic and Mass St. Pub, 728 Mass. St.

Although there were twists and turns, Gunn's discovery eventually led him to a friendship with famous Science Fiction author Theodore Sturgeon and the foundation of the Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas. Gunn and Sturgeon remained friends and colleagues until Sturgeon's death in 1985.
Sturgeon authored several novels and hundreds of short stories. The University award for the year's best
Jim Gunn was always a voracious reader. As a child growing up during the Depression, Gunn would haul his father's old hero pulp magazines to Andy's Used Magazine Shop in downtown Kansas City. In the back of the store on a dusty bookshelf, Gunn made a discovery that would change his life — he discovered science fiction.

sanitation life long
Noel Sturgeon, Theodore's daughter, said her father's respect for Gunn and work with KU were reasons why she donated a comprehensive collection worth $600,000 of her father's work to the Spencer Research Library.
"There is a saying that the golden age of science fiction is 12," Gunn, professor emeritus of English and director of the Center for the Study of Science Fiction, said "It's a time when the world is changing markedly for a young person."
Sturgeon taught at several sessions of Gunn's summer institute for the writing and teaching of science fiction. Sturgeon's formal education

"Many of his stories had strong working-class and female characters."
Asimov reassured his friend his lack of formal education was not apparent from the outside.
Ultimately, the decision to send Sturgeon's work to Lawrence belonged to Noel, who is the trustee of the Theodore Sturgeon Literary Estate. Noel said the University's work and reputation in the science fiction community and the Spencer Research Library's "top-notch, professional staff" allowed her to sleep well at night knowing her father's work was in the right hands.
"Certainly I have never thought of you as possessing anything but a complete education, whether you got

Sturgeon's manuscripts, books, personal papers and correspondence. Healey said the variety of materials paints a picture of the man behind the work.
"Depending on the day, you see him go through ups and downs. His moods changed but he was always witty and comical," Healey said. "Some of his correspondence with Ray Bradbury was particularly light-hearted."
Sturgeon's correspondence reads like a who's who list of science fiction authors. He corresponded with L.Ron Hubbard, the founder of scientology, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut based his famous anti-hero, Kilgore Trout, on Sturgeon.
Gunn said the subject matter in Sturgeon's work paints the most accurate portrait of the man. Outcasts, the misunderstood and the disenfranchised inhabited Sturgeon's works. Gunn said Sturgeon identified with his misfit characters.
While grilling burgers at Sturgeon's Hudson Bay home in the 1970s, Sturgeon shared a childhood story with Gunn, which Gunn suspects fueled Sturgeon's affection for the misunderstood and disenfranchised.
"Ted's stepfather was not understanding of Ted's aspirations to say the least," Gunn said.
Sturgeon told Gunn he returned home from school one day to find his science fictiton magazines had been

"I think that imprinted a feeling of oppression and misunderstanding in Ted's young mind," Gunn said.

"He wrote the first positive story in science fiction about homosexuality in 1953, when the topic was really off limits," Noel said, "and many of his stories had strong working-class and female characters."
Gunn considers Sturgeon's legacy and the collection to be a valuable asset to the entire University, not just the Center for the Study of Science Fiction. Gunn said Sturgeon's legacy will help several programs, including
women's studies, physics, American studies and architecture. According to Gunn, science fiction can bridge the gap between science and the humanities.
Noel said her father wanted his work at KU but also had a simpler wish.
"I think my father would want to be remembered as a great writer, not just of science fiction, but as a great American writer," Noel said.

Employers have rights to all online info
BY SHAUNA BLACKMON
sblackmon@kansan.com
Most young people have no problem posting pictures or updates about their personal life, their views or complaints, but as they grow more sophisticated, Sara Clayton, assistant director of the University Career Center, warns so are employers.
More and more companies are using the Internet to gather additional information on applicants. They are not only searching for the bad — evidence of drug use, inappropriate remarks or pictures but also the good — information that reinforces qualifications or presence of a industry-related blog.
When employers search a candidate on the Internet, they may stumble across more than they were anticipating. Any sort of information regarding race, religion and sexual orientation can place a company in a dangerous area for discrimination.
Social Intelligence Corp. has used that legal gray area to provide information gathering services to companies.A team of researchers dig up everything and anything they can find on a person.
"The users of social media sites might argue that, because of the sites'
terms of use, employers have no legal right to uncover and take into account information that the users posted privately," said Mike Kautsch, professor of media law. "Also, various states have laws under which users of social media sites might argue that certain information about them online is protected and that prospective employers cannot lawfully acquire it and use it as a basis for hiring decisions."
Social Intelligence Corp. has pasted investigations into its practices by the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. A company that collects public information about a consumer and reports it to employers is subject to certain restrictions.
"For example, the collecting company must notify the consumer that it has given information to a prospective employer or must follow strict measures to make sure that the information gathered and given to a prospective employer is accurate and up to date," Kautsch said.
Social Intelligence Corp. only provides relevant information, like evidence of drug use, racist remarks, gratuitous display or weapons or sexually explicit materials. Social Intelligence Corp. doesn't share information that can be legally considered discrimina-

tion, like if someone is a single parent or their political or religious views. The conflict found most often Drucker said, is racist remarks.
"Everyone knows that it's not a good idea to post inappropriate photos or videos, what a lot of people don't think about though is the text," Clayton said.
This is why it is increasingly important to monitor your social presence and use good judgment, Clayton said.
She suggests that even if you think your boss is an idiot, to keep it to
yourself. Don't post negative things relating to work or your professional life. The biggest problem students have with social media, Clayton said, is over-sharing. Not everyone needs to know everything. A good way to judge what is over sharing is to ask, "Would this offend my grandma?" If it does, it probably shouldn't go online."

Scientists say fossil is likely a new dino
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two Kansas fossil hunters say they think they found something new while digging in Montana.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jim Kirkland, a state paleontologist at the Utah Geological Survey, has examined photos of the fossil that Robert and Alan Dettrich are uncovering and said it looks like a new type of ankylosaur. The low-slung heavily armored dinosaurs lived around 65 million years ago and munched on plants.
"This thing is worthy of note. There is no doubt about it," said Kirkland, who specializes in ankylosaurs. "In my mind it's clearly a new one."
The brothers have been digging since May in a fossil-rich area near the town of Jordan. They've uncovered the ankylosaur fossil's skull, part of its leg, ribs, armored plates and some vertebrae.
Kirkland said it appears the creature measured about 30 feet long before its death, making it the biggest ankylosaur he had ever seen. He said typical ankylosaurs were 16 feet long, with one type, the ankylosaurus, measuring 20 feet.
“It’s huge,” said Robert Detrich, who discovered the fossil. “It’s bigger than any of the specialists have seen so far. It’s got everybody pretty excited.”
Kirkland and the Detrich brothers hope a person or institution will step forward to buy the fossil for a museum, which would allow for further study to determine if it is indeed unique. The effort would involve cleaning the fossil and comparing it against related animals to make sure it isn't just a variation of a previously discovered dinosaur.
Public display in a museum would also allow the brothers to seek naming rights should the fossil prove to be a first. Robert Detrich said, if given the opportunity, he would like to call it "enormasaurus" in honor of his late mother Norma.
"It's exciting," Robert Detrich said. "It really is. When he came back and said it's pretty clearly a new genus, and these guys write papers on ankylosaures so they know their stuff."
Robert Detrich, who is from Wichita, and his brother, who lives in Lawrence, plan to return to Kansas in about three weeks.

Officials defend investigation
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A phoned-in threat to a local motel and anti-government statements scrawled across a pickup truck prompted Kansas officials to shut down a 25-mile stretch of heavily traveled Interstate 70 west of Topeka for more than nine hours Monday.
Nothing dangerous was found in either the motel or the pickup driven by Christopher Spence, 50, of Conway, Ark., but a Kansas Highway Patrol spokesman said investigators had no way of knowing that without taking a closer look.
"You are in a situation that if it came back negative on both the motel room and the vehicle, it seemed like a waste of time," said Highway Patrol Capt. Steven Zeller. "On the other side of it, if we had an explosion or release of hazardous materials into the atmosphere and exposed motorists driving by, that would be horrendous. We decided to err on the side of public safety."
The incident began midmorning Monday after someone called 911 and said hazardous materials had been placed in a room at the Rama-
da Inn in Junction City, and that the FBI should be called. The motel was evacuated while fire and hazardous material crews investigated.
Soon after police issued a description of a suspect and vehicle, a Highway Patrol trooper stopped a pickup truck on I-70 west of Topeka. Spence, who was driving the truck, was returned to Junction City for questioning, while the interstate was closed in both directions to keep other vehicles away as authorities prepared to inspect the vehicle.
"We received information, troopers made the stop and we went from there," Zeller said. "We couldn't take a chance on the safety of the motoring public going by that vehicle with the indicators we had."
He said the writing on the pickup truck contributed to the extra caution by investigators.
"One comment written on the vehicle led us to believe it could be a deadly situation," Zeller said, without going into further detail.
The interstate was closed from around 1:15 p.m. and reopened around 10:30 p.m. after investigators with the Highway Patrol, FBI and other agencies determined
there was nothing dangerous in Spence's vehicle.
He was being held on $100,000 bond after being charged with aggravated criminal threat. His case has been assigned to the public defender's office in Junction City, which declined to comment Tuesday when contacted by The Associated Press.
Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown said in a news release that no motive for the threat had been determined.
Kimberly Qualls, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation, said there were no major problems associated with detouring traffic from the four-lane interstate and onto state highways that in some cases ran through towns with speed limits of 20 mph.
She said the detour added about 45 minutes to the average travel time through that section of the state.
"If we have citizens look at what is happening across the world, they should appreciate the extra steps taken to ensure the safety of everyone like we did yesterday," Qualls said.

Instead, Cubans heard from his second in comand, who offered few new details while hitting standard themes such as organization, discipline and economic reform.
"We must make a definitive break with the mentality of inertia ...and) evaluate how much more can be done with what is available," Machado Ventura said, before imploring the crowd and his countrymen to work harder and more efficiently. He repeated that the country was not abandoning socialism even as it embraced limited free market reforms.

Woman strikes attacking kangaroo and survives
"I thought it was going to kill me," Johnson told The Courier Mail from a hospital bed. "It was taller than me, and it just plowed through the clothes on the washing line straight for me."
"She fought it off herself with a bit of help from the family dog," her son said Tuesday. Rob Johnson said the kangaroo had "a bit of a go" at him when he arrived home from church, then he called police.
(Canberra, Australia) — A 94-year-old woman struck an attacking kangaroo with a broom and managed to crawl to safety in her house in the Australian Outback before police subdued the animal with pepper spray.
She said she saw a blur of red fur before the kangaroo knocked her down and kicked her prone body. Johnson told Australian media she managed to get to her feet and grab the broom to hit the animal enough times to daze it and escape.
Phyllis Johnson said the kangaroo attacked her while she was hanging her laundry in her yard Sunday in the Queensland state town of Charleville.

Leader vows loyalty to bin- Laden successor
(Sanaa, Yemen) — The leader of al-Qaida's Yemeni offshoot on Tuesday pledged his group's allegiance to Osama bin Laden's successor, and vowed to continue the fight against corrupt Western-backed leaders.
In a 10-minute audio message posted on extremist websites, Nasser al-Wahishi said his group — al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula — recognizes Egyptian-born doctor Ayman al-Zawahri as the new chief of al-Qaida. Al-Zawahri took over command of al-Qaida following the death of bin Laden in a U.S. raid in Pakistan in May.
Al-Qaida-linked militants have taken advantage of the political turmoil engulfing Yemen to seize control of at least two towns and surrounding territory in the country's south, forcing more than 100,000 people to flee the area as government forces carry out airstrikes and a ground offensive to regain control.

Perkins told The Associated Press. "After that, it hopped away from the scene, but police could still monitor its location — it didn't go too far."

CRIME
Robbery victim recounts night
BY IAN CUMMINGS icummings@kansan.com
The car's headlights crept up on Matt Johnson and John Allred for about a minute before anything happened.
Weeks after the robbery, and after testifying in court, Johnson, a senior from Salina, recalled that and said maybe he could have done something differently. Maybe he could have taken more notice and alerted his friend, and they might have fled.
Hindsight is twenty-twenty. Who knew the car's occupants would jump out on Memorial Drive in the middle of the night, armed and masked, and hold them up for their cash and phones?
But that's what happened at about 1:30 a.m. on June 23, according to Johnson and Allred, another senior from Salina, testifying at the Douglas County District Court July 19, during a preliminary hearing for the two men accused of robbing them.
STROLL ON A DARK STREET
Johnson said he and Allred had some beers and cocktails that evening at the Jayhawk Cafe, 1340 Ohio St., where Johnson works as a barback, before taking a walk on campus. They'd been friends since first grade, but didn't each other in a while. They wandered along Memorial Drive, behind Strong Hall, where they were robbed.
Johnson and Allred described their attackers as a stocky black man and a taller, leaner white man. Minutes after the robbery, police arrested Brandon Huggins, a 23-year-old soldier stationed at Fort Leavenworth, and Michael Gerald, 21, now charged with four felony counts each, including aggravated robbery. Huggins is white and Gerald is black. During the arrest, police recovered property belonging to Johnson and Allred. They also seized a bag of marijuana and a BB pistol.
Johnson said he remembered the robbery well, but there were details that he wasn't sure of, such as the exact type of pistol used.
"It if it was a BB gun — whatever" he said. "It looked real."
Johnson and Allred testified that two men approached from the car, shouting at them to get on the ground. The black man approached first, pointing a pistol at them.
The students complied immediately.
THE COURTROOM
Johnson testified that he thought both of the men were armed, and the defense questioned whether he could clearly describe the the white man's gun. He couldn't say what it looked like or just when exactly he saw it. He said he was focused on the gun right in front of him, held by the black man with the red bandana covering part of
Geoffery Loftus, a professor of psychology at University of Washington in Seattle, has studied eyewitness testimony and memory. He said witnesses sometimes affected concentrate on a weapon when one is present and pay attention to it at the expense of other details, such as the appearance of the person holding it.
Another issue that the defense spent time on in the hearing was Johnson and Allred's state of mind. Both students said they had at least four drinks before leaving the Jayhawk Cafe, and both testified that they were somewhat intoxicated.
Johnson said he wasn't sure anymore if the white man had a gun. He also couldn't remember details about the robbers' clothes, except that they both wore white T-shirts. He said the suspects in court generally matched the body type of the men who robbed him, but that he wouldn't be able to identify them by face because of the masks.
"Some of it is a bit of a haze," he said. "It's frustrating, not being able to remember more about the white guy."
He said that it was difficult, when being robbed, to take into account all the questions that will be asked later.
"Next time, I'll make sure to pay attention to both of my attackers," he said.
Loftus said that alcohol, fear and stress can interfere with perception and memory formation. The idea that the details of highly stressful events will be "stamped in" the memory, he said, was a misconception. What may happen is that such events are important to the person experiencing them, are recalled repeatedly, and become strong memories. But if details were remembered incorrectly, those would be stamped in as well, and witnesses may end up being very confident of incorrect facts.
Johnson said that, although some details have escaped him, he believes Huggins and Gerald are probably the men who robbed him.
"They had our stuff in the car," he said. "Does it get any more cut and dry than that?"
Johnson said he was glad the robbers left his cell phone behind. As soon as the two men drove away, leaving him and Allred lying in the parking lot, he called 911.
"I was really impressed with the police," he said. "They were really prompt and professional."
THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE
Seconds after reporting the robbery, Johnson heard sirens from two different locations. Police arrived minutes later to take their statements.
But between that night and Tuesday, Johnson said, he was often left in the dark about the case. He had trouble
he didn't learn at what time he was to appear at the courthouse Tuesday until 30 minutes before the hearing started. The suspects are next due in court Aug.2.
"It's been a little frustrating," he said. "But they seem to be doing a fine job."
He said testifying was a painless process that, at times, "bordered on enjoyable." The opportunity to testify against the men who, prosecutors say, held him up at gunpoint has given him some satisfaction.
"Oh yeah," he said. "Big time."
MOVING ON
Johnson said he isn't worried about facing the men in court, even though they are charged with felony intimidation of a witness and Huggins is free on bond. The robbery hasn't changed the way he lives, even if it has made him more wary.

One night this July, he sensed the glare of headlights creeping up behind him while walking with his girlfriend at night on an empty street in downtown Kansas City. A truck approached and slowed. A man inside leaned over and peered at them as he passed. This time, the vehicle kept rolling and disappeared.

TUITION
Professional school fees can add up
BY SHUANA BLACKMON
sbcklon@kansan.com
In addition to already expensive tuition, once in a professional school each student pays an additional fee per credit hour that goes directly to that school.
Each program charges a different amount based on needed supplies and programs available to students, such as scholarships and technology available for student use.
Most schools charge approximately $20 or $30 per credit hour. Excluding the two most expensive schools, the School of Business and the School of Law, if you take nine credit hours in a professional school, that can add up to an average of more than $300, according to KU websites.
Most schools include student input to the use of funds, however not all schools have a formalized process where students give ongoing
budget input, and many students don't know where these fees go.
All of the money collected by course fees stays within the specific school and are supposed to go directly to the students in some way.
Different schools have different needs, but many of the expenditures are similar. Most professional schools use allocations such as scholarships, tech support, facility maintenance and other student services.
Since 2003, the University as a whole has collected $76.3 million through course fees. The past few years every school has increased their fees by 6 percent while overall tuition rose by approximately 7 percent, according to the University Differential Tuition Report from 2011, from the Office of the Provost's website.

Turning trash to treasure is not so simple

Like most of the things in Heidi Yoder's apartment, the antique lamp hanging from her ceiling came from the trash. Yoder originally saved the glass lamp from the dumpster. She later sold the lamp to a neighbor at a garage sale. When Yoder saw the lamp at the neighbor's trash bin a couple of years later, she couldn't help but take in as her own one last time.
for Lawrence resident Yoder, her lamp represents dumpster diving at its best — community members trading items instead of buying new things. This is not a new concept for Yoder, who said she has been dumpster diving her entire life.

Yoder's best finds include roller skates, records, clothing and furniture. However, according to the City of Lawrence, Yoder obtained these "treasures" illegally.

AmeriCorps member of the Lawrence Social Service League Kendra Davis said the only people she known the city to ticket for dumpster diving were homeless or poor.
you would never guess as the type to dumpster dive," Davis said. "They find things and donate them instead of giving a monetary donation."
Davis said the Social Service League Thrift Store, 905 Rhode Island St., depends on dumpster diving as a way to receive donations of items that would otherwise be thrown out.
Two years ago, the Social Service League began sending its unwanted items to different organizations instead of discarding them. Previously, it depended on dumpster divers to clear out its dumpster between scheduled trash pickups, Davis said.

Bartering economy present in Lawrence
BY HANNAH DAVIS hdavis@kansan.com
During the hot Kansas summer, Brady Karlin's day begins at 4:30 a.m., well before the sun first greets his fields. Karlin spends the 16 hours between the start and end of his workday digging, planting, and tending to his herbs, asparagus and tomatoes.
Like most farmers, Karlin doesn't wage a daily battle with Mother Nature for the money. In fact, if customers cannot give Karlin a piece of artwork, a homemade microbrew or an original poem Karlin will dispense his homegrown zucchini for free.
Karlin Family Farms, 3303 Kasold Dr., is an experiment in "gift economics." In gift economies, participants trade goods and services rather than exchanging currency.
"We all have our own unique talents," Karlin said. "I see those talents as gifts we can share with each other."
Karlin's farm is just one example of a bartering economy. As the economy continues to struggle, gift economies are becoming commonplace in Lawrence, ranging from Craigslist swaps to plans for a downtown holistic healing collective.
Craigslist is littered with owners looking to part with a dishwasher in exchange for a deep fryer. Zoe Smith, a stay-at-home mom and licensed massage therapist, said her family has been hit hard by the economy.
"This past year money has gotten tighter and tighter," she said. "They say the recession is over but I am just not seeing it.
Both Smith and her husband, a cobbler, have skills they offer in lieu of cash. Smith's vacuum broke last week and she took to Craigslist to offer massage gift certificates
in exchange for a working bagless vacuum. Smith hasn't had any offers yet but the system worked for her in the past. Smith traded six hours worth of massage gift certificates for a $300 guitar amp. The amp's owner surprised his pregnant wife with the gift certificates and her pregnant guilty pleasure, Taco Bell.
"He called me and told me his wife started crying when he gave her the gift," Smith said. "You don't get that joy from a dollar bill transaction."
Brandon Norris recently became debt free and is determined to stay that way. Norris moved to Lawrence from Oklahoma. His very existence in Lawrence is an example
of bartering. Instead of paying rent, Norris works on the Karlin Family Farms in exchange for room and board. Norris is a part of World Wild Opportunities for Organic Farms. WWOOF places volunteers with organic farms throughout the
"He called me and told me his wife started crying when he gave her the gift. You don't get that joy from a dollar bill transaction.
ZOE SMITH takes part in bartering
world.
Since arriving in Lawrence, Norris has immersed himself in the local bartering and gift-based economies. In addition to his farm work, Norris spends hours crafting handmade unusual instruments
that he then gives away. He makes Native American flutes; kalimbas, a small thumb piano, and tongue drums.
"People can do whatever they wish with the instrument," Norris said. "But I guess ideally they would feel compelled to share their gifts with others also."
Karlin refers to his organic farm as an overall learning exploration. The construction 100 feet away from his farm on 31st Street is a daily reminder of the money driven world that surrounds his utopian experiment.
"It's a very fine line that I've walked and it has been desperate at times," Karlin said.
While Karlin explores the possibilities gift economies offer the bills continue to pile up. Karlin is currently in the middle of negotiations to extend his lease. The future of Karlin Farms is not definite. Karlin said he finds inspiration in the promise of long-term goals.
"I don't have all the answers right now, but I look forward to 10 or 15 years down the road when my hard work pays off and I can truly live off the land," Karlin said.

ANIMAL LIFE
A good pet helps ease the craziness of life
One thing that used to bother me was when people treated their pets as their children.

Dog sweaters, cats with middle names, sleeping with their beta fish and shih tzu strollers. I mean, what was the point? Were they too stiff to make friends with the 25,000 KU students with whom they have so much in common? Or was it that they didn't enjoy their time alone and needed something to fill the void?
Before I adopted a rat from a local, friendly, nation-wide chain of pet stores, the attitude My assumption of doting pet owners was one of notty annoyance. Your dog is your baby? I'd think, "you're a

slave to something smaller than you and it's not even a human." Then I would go snuggle myself or count my money. I was fine alone. Except that I cried a lot and kept the television on so I could pretend that the noise it made was my family.
On the suggestion of my mother, I got a rat but I honestly didn't think anything spectacular was going to happen.
To my surprise, the tenderness that I felt toward this scratching, sniffing rodent was immediate and overwhelming. The first thing I did was teach him to come to his name as I held a spoonful of peanut butter. Then, I lied on the carpet of my apartment and had the little guy crawl all over me. He clawed his way into my hair and nestled, and I thought, "so this is it." This is Animal Parenthood. I realized that I would never have to snuggle alone again.
Now, just a few days later, I'm so sitten with my new animal that sometimes I wish that
I could have gestated and borne him myself. Although breast feeding the little critter might prove to be logistically difficult, I couldn't decline such an experience.
More than anything, I understand how other pet owners feel when they put their maltipoo in a feathered headdress or apply fake eyelashes on their hedgehog. To the rest of us, it may seem like these animal owners are crazy, but it's really the opposite. They aren't crazy because of the animal. The animal keeps them from going crazy.

POLITICS
Meaningful political discourse should begin with civility
I had the opportunity to visit some of my favorite historical sites in Virginia last week, including Mount Vernon, Monticello and George Washington's birthplace.
I learned quite a few history lessons while I was there and even after having visited multiple times, there always seems to be a new bit of information that strikes my interest when learning about the foundation of our country.
I will do it for you.
All that history got me thinking about the state of politics today. Obviously the founding fathers didn't always get along, and a few could be quite nasty to some of the others. There were definitely times when arguments got personal.
But in the end, these politicians knew they were working toward a common goal, and a prosperous and proud country founded on liberty for all (well, for some — we're getting there, though!). With this vision on the horizon, these men often set aside their differences, made difficult compromises and worked together for what the nation as a whole believed in.
BY KELLY COSBY editor@kansan.com
Maybe they didn't always make the right decisions. But based on some of the alternatives, I think our nation turned out to be pretty OK.
To me it seems that this putting aside of certain differences (even wealthy land-owning white males have plenty of differences) was one of the major keys to the early successes of the United States. Now, I'm sure every political generation can point to instances when this hasn't been the case, this being especially true during times of discrimination and inequality based on
race, gender, etc. But given the major steps we have made in recent years toward a more equal society, shouldn't the method of our discourse reflect that progress?
Instead, those early days of Washington and Adams resemble very little to the way politicians and citizens handle arguments today. Yes, we have many eloquent speakers and intelligent individuals who bring worthwhile commentary to the discussions on various issues, but we are slowly losing our tradition of civil discourse.
At the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, the encouragement of civil discourse is a priority. The institute pushes students and community members to discuss issues respectfully while working through the civil and political process to "redirect the course of our nation."
This is an important goal at a time when many of us often use personal attacks and verbal assault to express our "ideas." I admit I've made a snarky comment or two about Sarah Palin's intelligence, but those kinds of remarks bring nothing to the discussion. I've seen people say things to each other (incidentally, often under the cover of anonymous comments on the Internet) that almost compete with the rhetoric of Fred Phelps in terms of how hateful and unconstructive they are. There is no place for this kind of argumentation in public discourse.
Since our University is the home of the Dole Institute, we should take its emphasis on civil discourse to heart. A reclaiming of civility in politics could begin with our student generation. It all begins with self-awareness and encouraging others, and at its core is empathy.

Six months later, Hultman, now a KU student, steered his 2002 Hundi Sonata west on the Kansas Turnpike, heading for his home in Wichita.

He floored the accelerator, swerved across the other lane, and stopped on the shoulder, his knuckles white from squeezing the steering wheel.

n from sleeping as much as he would like.
Harris was diagnosed with PTSD, an anxiety disler that can develop after exposure to a terrify event or ordeal in which grave physical harm curred or was threatened, according the National titute of Mental Health.
PTSD occurs in up to 20 percent of veterans who ved in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the . Department of Veterans Affairs' National Cenfor PTSD.
Veterans experiencing PTSD commonly feel pressed or frightened even when they are no longer the high intensity environment of combat. Many experience intense anxiety, flashbacks, fits of anger and nightmares.
Not everyone who is involved in trauma devells PTSD. Like depression, it operates according to grees and the severity is unique to each person, d John Wade, licensed counseling psychologist at unseling and Psychological Services on campus. Onset of stress-induced behavioral health issues as PTSD typically occurs months after re-ening a peacetime setting. Wade said the effects can l uncontrollable and perplexing.
Army Staff Sgt. Zedrick Glisper, combat medic and warrior in transition at Fort Riley's Warrior transition Battalion, is a 10-year soldier dealing with ISD under the care of Army health professionals. He planned on serving 20 years before PTSD set in order to five months into recovery from Hepatitis C and changed his mind. Now, he's focused on getting well and getting out of the military.
"The hardest thing was the nightmares. I didn't think I was the kind of person to have that type of aff affect me," Glisper said. "The anger, the bitterness of being a totally different person half the time on what I normally would be, trying to adjust and still not being able to would be the hardest part. Nowing what you were before and how you are we is totally different and you're wondering how you got to that stage."
Experiencing those intrusive symptoms in a college setting can be difficult.
On a campus filled with more than 30,000 students, Harris' tendency to seek isolation — a common symptom of PTSD — is challenged every day. It manifests in irrational decision-making and impulsive acts.
In class he prefers to sit in a seat where he can observe every one and everything in the room and develop a sense of security through a consistent routine. On days that seat is taken, his reaction is extreme. Anger and disbelief fester and usually he'll walk back out the door, he said.
He knows his behavior might appear inappropriate, but for him it feels acceptable.
"I can't help that behavior," Harris said. "There's a hyper vigilance needing to know everything in the environment that's going on. All of that is a disruption of that personal space that is highly valuable to someone who tends to isolate themselves."
The need to observe and feel in control can be challenging in a classroom full of, for the most part, socially active students. For students with PTSD hyperarousal symptoms such as being easily startled can surface.
For Hultman, set to begin his second semester this fall, adjusting to life on campus provides similar challenges. He's never been officially diagnosed with PTSD, but has experienced anxiety attacks in situations that feel threatening, unfamiliar or out of his control.
"You become super, crazy aware," Hultman said. "You try to tell yourself: relax, relax, you're OK, but I know instantly when I walk through that door I'm going to figure out the best place to sit. I don't care if I can see the board."
When he gets to class he notes the exit routes and mentally lays plans in the event of a dangerous situation.
When someone walks directly behind him on campus, a vulnerable feeling creeps in his stomach. He crosses the street to assess and avoid any potential threat, assuring himself he's safe before lowering
his guard. Chances are the 6-foot, 220-pound man with a background in jiu jitsu could defend himself, but for years in Baghdad he was a target every second of every day. Modifying that mindset is a gradual process.
One afternoon, during mid-tour leave, Hultman was napping on the couch in his parents' home and had a nightmare in which he was back on patrol. He leapt to his feet and ran up and down the hallway, still in a sleep state, yelling at the top of lungs: "turn the lights off! why are the lights on?" He explained that on night patrol in Iraq, having lights on in the truck was a death wish, giving away position and endangering their lives. Hultman's mother, Karen, was terrified and later told Hultman what had happened.
Even after more than a year since combat, where the enemy want you dead and you want the enemy dead, it's contrary to one's nature to feel safe even when your life is no longer at risk.
Wade said of their situation: "It's making the transition from living in this heightened state of arousal, from needing to be hyperly aware of the environment, to being in a situation where it's really not adaptive to that."
BRIDGING THE GAP
After years of training, months spent traveling half way around the world and a lifetime of memories from the trails of war,the comparatively slow and predictable life of a civilian can present a troubling disconnect.
A 10-month deployment can feel like a 10-year maturation. While the lives of friends and family moved forward, veterans return feeling out of tune with the world they left.
Hultman, now set to begin his second semester, struggled to accept that while his life as a civilian was more or less on hold, peers went about their lives. Most friends his age graduated.
"Life was going on without me. It felt like I had to find new friends, which sucks," he said. "They don't
understand you, you're disconnected. It's not that I don't want to find new friends but it's hard."
He said calling old friends felt intrusive. Crowded bars and public places were overstimulating and produced anxiety. While he had stories about time in the Army, his friends shared stories of weekend benders and classroom mishaps. The experience of service is impossible to empathize with, he said.
"I think an experience like going to Iraq, whether you're a paper pusher way way back or a trigger puller way way up front, you come back and you've been shaped by those experiences, Harris said. "It's not necessarily war, it's just that you've had a different experiential path than someone else. It's hard to relate to those things unless the other person was there."
For Harris, 41, making friends is not as much of a concern; he has a wife, five daughters and a 3-month-old son. As an older student, his perspective comes from a different standpoint.
Wade said perceptions are changed during such a unique and meaningful experience and that swapping roles from being charged with the task of bombing a village to living among young people on campus can be a hard adjustment.
The age difference might be small, but the maturity level feels immense. The life experiences of veterans, especially those with service-connected disabilities, are not compatible with students a few years removed from high school.
Dehnke is also an older veteran but hasn't married or had children. He didn't know if he would ever be able to relate to people socially the same way. While no one wants to be coddled, especially the disabled, conveying that message is trying.
"Yes, you're changed forever, but you're still a person, you're still a human however you want to put it," Dehnke said. "If you can step back and realize not everyone's had the same life experiences you had, I think you'll be able to relate to them better."

A flash of light suddenly illuminated the rear view mirrors, shock waves rattled the two-and-a-half-ton truck and they grabbed their rifles. An improvised explosive device, killer of many U.S. soldiers in Iraq, had exploded a few yards away. Although shock up literally and figuratively, they were still alive.
Six months later, Hultman, now a KU student, steered his 2002 Hundai Sonata west on the Kansas Turnipke, heading for his home in Wichita. As he gazed through the windshield at ice roads and snow-covered ditches, a loud thud tuted and shook the car. He floored the accelerator, swerved across the other lane, and stopped on the shoulder, his knuckles white from squeezing the steering wheel.

Hultman, 23, is one of an estimated 300 veterans attending the University of Kansas who brought their combat experiences home with them. Some didn't escape roadside IEDs or sniper bullets and were left with physical disabilities.

When he returned from Iraq in May 2008, military doctors discovered extensive damage to his spinal column and three months later performed a cervical fusion. Titanium rods now link four vertebrae in the upper region of his spine. Months before surgery, he was diagnosed with multiple service-connected behavioral health disorders as well, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Ethan Harris, retired combat medic and current KU student, suffered neck and spinal injuries resulting from repeated concussive blasts in combat coupled with hours spent carrying heavy equipment.
Dehnke's physical injuries can be traced to a single IED blast that left him blind in his left eye and with nerve damage in his left leg.

Trouble sleeping? You're not alone.
BY BRITTANY NELSON
bnelson@kansan.com
It's 2 a.m. on a Tuesday night, and Katie Meserko, a senior from Overland Park, is wide awake. She knows she has to teach Math 101 at 8 a.m., but she said she doesn't even try to go to sleep because she knows she won't be able to.
When she finally decides to snooze, Meserko said she cannot go to sleep without the TV flickering in the dark room.
"I will not fall asleep unless I'm somewhat focused on something in the background," Meserko said. "Otherwise, I constantly think in my head things I have to do or need to do, or get creative ideas."
According to the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research, at least 40 million adults suffer from chronic, long-term sleep problems and 20 to 30 million suffer from occasional sleep problems. So, like many other adults, Meserko needs help getting to sleep.
Anne Owen, Lawrence psychologist, said that people need some kind of bedtime routine to go to sleep.
"Doing something that's not compelling or interesting can help shift you from thinking about your problems or worries of the day, and you will be more likely to fall asleep," Owen said. "Most people find that playing video games or surfing the web are activating, so reading quietly might be a better choice."
If every time you go to bed and feel anxious, even if you are tired, you will not fall asleep, she said.
Joe Sayegh, a graduate from Stillwell, said he has to have some sort of distraction to fall asleep, such as having the TV on or playing a game on his cell phone.
"Usually, I'm not tired enough to fall asleep by the time I want to," Sayegh said. "I'm too bored to sit there and I usually think about my busy day or random things. Watching TV gets my mind off things."
But Sayegh said if his girlfriend is with him, he doesn't need something else to distract him.
"If someone is there, I usually fall asleep fine," Sayegh said.
Owen said that if people don't have a serious sleep problem and falling asleep to a TV works for them, she sees nothing wrong with it. However, she said there are better wavs to prepare yourself for sleep.
"Mindfulness meditation is a good technique to help ease your mind for better sleeping." Owen said.
According to the medical dictionary, mindfulness meditation is defined as, "a technique of meditation in which distracting thoughts and feelings are not ignored but are rather acknowledged and observed nonjudgmentally as they arise to create a detachment from the and gain insight and awareness."
Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services, said that the more people get frustrated that they are not asleep, the more their insomnia will worsen.
"Instead of getting angry that you're awake at 3 a.m. and have to get up in two hours, mindfulness
meditation makes you think in a different way to where you accept your current situation," Floyd said. "Therefore you will not have anxiety, which leads to falling asleep faster."
There are also many things people should avoid before hitting the sheets. Owen said that our body temperature decreases throughout the night, and this drop in temperature supports the body's sleep system.
"It's bad to exercise late at night because it raises your core body temperature," Owen said. "If you are hot inside or outside of your body, you will not fall asleep."

Man steals ambulance during house fire
Nick Sambaluk
(Phoenix, Arizona) — Phoenix police say a man tried to steal an ambulance left running outside a house fire but he didn't get very far.
Police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson says 28-year-old Travis Ward took the vehicle, which was unlocked and had its keys in the ignition. It had been left running early Sunday to keep cool for anyone seeking medical care.
Thompson says Ward drove the ambulance for a few blocks, striking a post, a fence and parked cars. He says the man told police he had used marijuana before the incident.

Thompson says no injuries were reported and he wasn't aware that anyone at the west Phoenix fire needed medical care.
Ward was booked on suspicion of theft and criminal damage. It was not immediately known whether he has a lawyer.
Police looking for young coyote stuck in jar
(Seattle, Washington) A young coyote is eluding animal-control officers in Seattle, even though its head is stuck in a jar.
The Seattle Times reports that animal shelter officers tried to track down the 3-to 4-month-old pup Friday in the woods of the Rainier Beach neighborhood. But even without eating for a while, the pup had enough spunk to scurry away.
Seattle Animal Shelter supervisor Ann Graves says officers are concerned for the pup because its head has been stuck in the jar for about a week now.
Graves says shooting the coyote with a tranquilizer remains an option, but it's dangerous if the animal has not had any food. She says the dose could be too much for a weakened animal.

Faculty can be buried at historic cemetery
BY MONISHA BRUNER
mbruner@kansan.com
Professor Thomas Mulinazzi has been on campus for more than 32 years. If he has it his way, he'll never leave.
A brick plaque at the Pioneer Cemetery opening reads, "Once transplant always a laj Hawk." Mulinazzi has taken those words to heart. When he dies, he wants to be buried in Pioneer Cemetery, located on West Campus near the Endowment Center.
I walked over there and saw some of the people who were buried there and I want to be a part of it," Muli-nazzi said.
According to Pioneer Cemetery records in the Spencer Research Library, a man named Aaron Perry claimed the present site of Pioneer Cemetery and surrounding lands when Lawrence was founded in 1854. The property was later deeded to C.W. Smith, according to the Complete Tombstone Census of Douglas County. Smith allowed some friends
be a graveside.
In 1854, the burial site was uphill from where the citizens lived, according to Pioneer Cemetery records. Funeral processes traveled two miles from Massachusetts street to the then- isolated Pioneer Cemetery.
Brittany Keegan, acting curator for the Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Massachusetts St., said that flooding in the city was also a problem, so the location was ideal.
The Complete Tombstone Census of Douglas County shows that
burials were without any system and many graves were unmarked and unrecorded. Most burials were victims of Quantrill's Raid.
The victim of a tragic murder, Thomas W. Barber, is buried in the cemetery as well. Barber died Dec. 6, 1855, at the hands of pro-slavery militants from Lecompston.

According to Pioneer Cemetery records, Barber was on his way home on a Thursday afternoon on horseback. His brother Robert Barber and his brother-in-law Thomas Piperion were with him. A group of 12 men soon approached them on horseback. Both brothers and Pierson refused orders to surrender and were shot. This was one of the two tragic murders that termed the beginning of the war called Bleeding Kansas.

Lisa Scheler, senior editor for media relations at KU Endowment, said Pioneer Cemetery has about 300 occupants. Because of limited space, there are restrictions on acceptance into the cemetery. Full-time faculty or those with equivalent appointment with at least 15 years at the University are eligible, as are individuals who have provided distinguished service. Also, a spouse of any of the eligible members is welcome.
"The interesting thing about the cemetery is that it is so tied in with the territorial period and the Bleeding Kansas struggle, especially in Lawrence," Keegan said.
A plot size for one person at the cemetery is two feet by two feet. Because this space is too small to bury a person's body, one has to be cremated. The families or estates of the deceased will be responsible for all costs.
Scheller said that KU Endowment has worked with donors to establish a Pioneer Cemetery fund so alumni and friends can provide support to help maintain the cemetery.

offer a more limited Greeley County lies on the western Kansas border and is one of 27 counties in the state participating in the Rural Opportunity Zones student loan repayment program. Under the provisions of the program, the county and the state will repay 20 percent of outstanding student loans, up to $3,000 per year, for graduates of any accredited post-secondary university. There is a $15,000 maximum benefit.
Twenty-three Kansas counties are now "rural opportunity zones," areas in which grauduates can get up to $15,000 in student loan repayment for moving into the area.
The program was signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback on July 1. Online applications became accessible the same day through the Kansas Department of Commerce website. Public information officer Dan Lara said the department has received 24 applications for the student loan portion of the program.

Kansas head coach Tuner Gill answers questions during NCAA college football Big 12 Media Days on Tuesday, in Dallas.

Big hopes for a tough season
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
DALLAS — Nobody has said the path to redemption for this year's Kansas football team will be easy in fact, it's set up to be one of the toughest seasons any team will have in college football this year.
Based off of last year's records, college football analyst Phil Steele has ranked the Jayhawks schedule the third toughest in the nation.
At the Big 12 Media Days on Tuesday, this year's Kansas team showed it is aware of the tough odds against it, and instead of dwelling on the nail-filled road to come, the Jayhawks are using that tough path as a motivator of sorts, or a reason to work harder than ever before.
"Everybody in the Big 12 is excellent this year," senior tight end Tim Biere said. "Every week is going to be a challenge and we look forward to that challenge."
The labor the Jayhawks have put in during the spring and summer workouts is most visible when looking at the new, slim appearance
of senior lineman Jeremiah Hatch. Working off over 30 pounds, Hatch believes the lost weight will help his mobility and ability to block down the field.
"A lot of running, a lot of sweating, and a lot of Stairmaster," Hatch said when asked how he lost the weight. "I got with our nutritionist Aaron, and he showed me how to eat the proper way while still maintaining a love for food."
It appears that the entire team has joined Hatch's newfound work ethic this offseason. Coach Turner Gill seemed to think that the team as a whole has taken a step in the right direction during college football's more quiet months, providing potential dividends for the upcoming season.
"As we went into the winter offseason program and spring football season, I saw a better work ethic," Gill said. "When you have a better work ethic, you have a better opportunity to be successful."
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson has been working hard as well, leading the defense through their
offseason workouts. Johnson believed that the hard work of the defensive players will help them against well-conditioned Big 12 opponents.
"Our defense is a lot more athletic, a lot faster, and for the other teams in the Big 12, it's going to be hard to get away from us," Johnson said.
Not only is the defense faster, but also the team as a whole has improved greatly in the speed department. Every player representing the Jayhawks in Dallas didn't
forget to mention the improved speed they've seen on the practice field.
"When you have a better work ethic,you have a better opportunity to be successful."
The freshman class in particular got the older players to rave about the new turf-burners in Lawrence.
"There has been talk from the older guys that this is the best recruiting class we've seen since we've been here." Biere said. "There's so
much speed and so much athleticism."
TURNER GILL coach
Coach Gill brought up the increased speed in particular as one of the keys to turning things around with the Kansas program. He said the new quickness will give the team a better opportunity to be successful and get things going the
right way.
With all-new speed and a new hard-working attitude, stemming from last season's underwhelming effort and the tough road ahead, the Kansas team has done a lot this
off season to make sure there is no repeat performance from the lackluster 2009-2010 season.
"When you go 3-9 and you don't want to go workouts, you think about that 3-9," Hatch said. "When you think your slacking it comes in your mind. 3-9 has a lot to do with what's coming this season."

BIG 12
Texas network controversial
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The story that spanned across headlines throughout the conference coming into the Big 12 media days has some coaches upset, some neutral and some supportive; is it acceptable for the Longhorn Network to air high school football games?
DALLAS — No coach could escape the question.
The freshly-inked deal out of Austin with ESPN pays Texas $300 million for the rights to have an all-Texas network. The Longhorns, in hopes to fill time slots and gain viewers, were planning on putting high school football games in the state of Texas on live television.
The problem? Allowing a university-branded network to have that unique access to young players, along with having its name all over a high school football game, could give the University of Texas an unfair advantage in recruiting.
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel was the most vocal of all of the coaches and players on Monday about his issues with the controversial network.
"It's a lack of common sense there to think that the network, the university network can coach or have high school games on their network," Pinkel said.
Even though Pinkel spoke the loudest on the controversial topic, he has not been the leader in rebellion on the issue at hand.
Texas A&M called a board of regents meeting this past week to discuss the Big 12 conference. As an in-state rival and main recruiting competitor to the Longhorns, the Aggies are heavily rumored to have cried foul on the Longhorn Network. As rumor has it, Texas A&M even threatened the livelihood of the conference by apparently threatening to move to the Southeastern Conference. Coach Mike Sherman didn't comment on the network itself, saying he has enough to worry
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
about as it is.
about as it is.
On the other side of the issue, smooth-talking Texas coach Mack Brown turned the issue around, making it seem like Texas would be helping the rest of the conference by airing the games -- giving exposure to players other schools may have never seen.
"I think the part that will affect recruiting is you've got a lot more opportunities for young people to be seen," Brown said. "So there's no question that the opportunity to show who you are on national TV at every practice, at every ballgame, on a network, is — I mean, it's a positive."
Brown even went as far as to say that the only people actually being hurt by the network were the high school players and coaches themselves, for they would not have the opportunity to showcase their programs on national television if it weren't for the network.
The only coach to side with Brown and the Longhorns was Baylor head
coach Art Briles, who turned heads in the room by saying that if the Longhorns can get a network of their own, they deserve it.
"Do I worry about it, not a bit. I mean, they're pretty hard to recruit against anyway," Briles said. "If people are going to pay for it, more power to them. Let them have it. If it helps the Big 12 if we have to recruit harder against Texas, we'll do a better job, work harder and see if we can get a little better."
The question that no coach could hide from didn't get too many answers Monday. Even though it's shaken the fragile Big 12 grounds, it proved to be a bit premature for the coaches to come out with final judgments on such a hot, ongoing topic.
One thing is for sure — the Longhorns will receive their money from the network, providing a bigger budget for recruiting dividends regardless of whether the Longhorn Network will show 100 hours of high football or zero.

BIG 12
Sooners favored to win championship
DALLAS — Before Oklahoma won its first Big 12 title in 2000, and went on to the win the national championship that season, coach Bob Stoops had no idea how good his second year there would be.
That was the first of seven conference titles over the last 11 seasons when there were still 12 teams in the league.
Now in the new-look Big 12, with 10 teams playing a round-robin schedule instead of in divisions, there would be little surprise if the Sooners quickly add another trophy. The defending champions are overwhelming favorite to win the league again — and maybe more.
"Our offense is high powered, our defense brings a lot of playmakers back. It's a good combination," linebacker Travis Lewis said Tuesday as Big 12 media days wrapped up. "But right now all we are is potential. We've got to go out there and play."
The Sooners, who closed last season with a five-game winning streak that included wins over now-departed Nebraska in the Big 12 championship game and a 48-20 victory over Connecticut in the Fiesta Bowl, got 41 of 43 first-place votes in a preseason poll from media members who cover the league.
"This team has had a good attitude and a good chemistry," Stoops said. "They did a year ago, they carried it through the winter and the spring. We'll see where it goes with us."
Those feelings, bolstered by Lewis' sentiment, are good for a coach who in some seasons sensed that his teams felt entitled because of the long-term success at Oklahoma.
Stoops went from trying to convince his team that it was good enough to win in 2000, after the Sooners had some down seasons before he arrived, to a few years later reminding certain groups they hadn't done anything to feel that way.
"Now going into this season, though, after so many years and with
the number of guys back, we expect it," Stoops said. "It's really convincing them expect to work first. ... And you have to have that attitude of something to prove to get it done, to finish it off."
Landry Jones, the starting quarterback who followed Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford at Oklahoma, trumped his impressive freshman season by throwing for a Big 12-high 4,718 yards and 38 touchdowns while setting school records with 405 completions and 617 attempts last year.
"He got a couple of years under his belt and I think this is finally his time," Lewis said. "I definitely think he's a national championship caliber-winning quarterback and this whole team has faith in him."
When Jones was asked about the perception by many that he took significant steps in his leadership of the team during the closing stretch last season, the quarterback certainly didn't disagree.
"Definitely in that Oklahoma State game, the Big 12 championship game and then the Fiesta Bowl, I was able to take some big strides for me as a player," he said. "I've kind of learned from Sam, kind of learned from people before me, talking to coach Heupel, him dealing with those expectations what it takes to lead a team through that."
Josh Heupel, the Sooners quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator, was the quarterback for Stoops 2000 national championship team.
Jones threw for 468 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season finale against Oklahoma State. Then Oklahoma rallied from a 17-point deficit in the Big 12 title game, when he threw for 342 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score while Lewis had an interception in the end zone and recovered two fumbles.
Jones also set Oklahoma bowl records with 429 yards and three touchdowns in the Fiesta Bowl.
While Stoops' team is favored to win the conference and possibly contend for a national championship, Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville and
Kansas' Turner Gill both are trying to establish their teams as Big 12 contenders.
The Red Raiders were picked seventh and Kansas was at the bottom of the preseason media poll. Kansas State and Iowa State, the other teams at Tuesday's sessions, are also picked in the bottom half of the league.
Texas Tech won eight games last season, including a bowl over Northwestern, but Tuberville has a new defensive coordinator after the Red Raiders gave up 456 yards and 31
"It wasn't a great year, but it was a year that I think we can look back on and say that was the start of something good," Tuberville said. "Did make one change in our defense this past year, after going through a year and watching what we have to play against, the type of players, the type of coaches."
points a game last season.
New defensive coordinator Chad Glasgow spent the past 10 seasons as an assistant at TCU, where the Horned Frogs use a 4-2-5 defense that will now be Tech's base defense.
Gill lost his Big 12 debut last season to FCS team North Dakota State, and the Jayhawks finished the year losing seven of its last eight games.

"Last year at this time, I didn't really quite understand all the deep details about where we were at and what we need to do as far as a team," said Gill, who got to Kansas after taking Buffalo to a bowl game. "I had just an open mind and an open hear about what to expect in my first year, particularly. ... I'm excited about where we are today."
