KJHK music contest seeks entries
BY BETH BEAVERS
bbeavers@kansan.com
KJIKH is looking for local musicians who make good music. It is accepting entries for its annual battle of the bands, the Farmer's Ball.
Logan Nickels, Stillwater, Okla. senior and KJKH station manager, said Farmer's Ball was a great way to promote local bands.
"For bands that don't have an output, it is a good way for them to get out there," Nickels said.
Peter Lyrene, Fairhope, Ala., senior and Live Events Director for KJHK, said bands, rappers, solo artists or musicians of any kind were encouraged to enter.
Lyrene said eight bands would be selected to participate in the Farmer's Ball. The bands are selected by KJHK's music and live events staff as well as KJHK DJs. To be as unbiased as possible, the judges do not know the name of the band as they listen to entries.
"There has been a lot more hip hop in the past few years," Lyrene said.
"Last year, we played at the Jackpot for two nights and it was pretty full," Nichols said. "The bands were a lot of fun and it was a really diverse set. People were really into it."
The winner will receive paid recording time and discounted band merchandise.
Lyrene said previous winners included Stik Figa, Hawley Shoffner, Boo and Boo Too, Greg Enemy, and Ad Astra Per Aspera.
The actual Farmer's Ball will take place during two nights. On Nov. 20 at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., all eight acts will perform. The audience will vote, and the best four will perform again the next night at the Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts St. The audience will then vote to decide the winner.
"Stik Figa was someone that no one really knew about," Lyrene said. "But now he's opening up for major acts."

Swine flu declared national emergency
ASSOCIATED PRESS
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The declaration, signed Friday night and announced Saturday. comes with the disease more prevalent than ever in the country and production delays undercutting the government's initial, optimistic estimates that as many as 120 million doses of the vaccine could be available by mid-October.
People who stayed overnight wait in line to get a free swine flu vaccine during a vaccine clinic at the Fairfax County Government Center in Fairfax, Va., Saturday. President Obama recently declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency, giving his health chief the power to let hospitals move emergency rooms offsite to speed treatment and protect noninfected patients.
Health authorities say more than 1,000 people in the United States, including almost 100 children, have died from the strain of flu known as H1N1, and 46 states have widespread flu activity. So far only 11 million doses have gone out to health departments, doctor's offices, and other providers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials.
Administration officials said the declaration was a pre-empotive move designed to make decisions easier when they need to be made. Officials said the move was not in
response to any single development.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius now has authority to bypass federal rules when opening alternative care sites.
Some hospitals have opened drive-thrus and drive-up tent clinics to screen and treat swine flu patients. The idea is to keep infectious people out of regular emergency rooms and away from other sick patients.
Hospitals could modify patient rules — for example, requiring them to give less information — to quicken access to treatment, with government approval, under the declaration.
It also addresses a financial question for hospitals — reimbursement for treating people at sites not typically approved. For instance, federal rules do not allow hospitals to put up treatment tents more than 250 yards away from the doors; if the tents are 300 yards or more away, typically federal dollars won't go to pay for treatment.
Administration officials said those rules might not make sense while fighting the swine flu, especially if the best piece of pavement
preemptive ..." He said such a step would give emergency rooms and hospitals the flexibility they need.
"Many millions" of Americans have had swine flu so far, according to an estimate that CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden gave Friday. The government doesn't test everyone to confirm swine flu so it doesn't have an exact count. He also said there have been more than 20,000 hospitalizations.

U.N. inspectors enter Iranian uranium plant
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — U.N. inspectors entered a once-secret uranium enrichment facility with bunker-like construction and heavy military protection that raised Western suspicions about the extent and intent of Iran's nuclear program.
The visit Sunday by the fourmember International Atomic Energy Agency team, reported by state media, was the first independent look inside the planned nuclear fuel lab, a former ammunition dump burrowed into the treeless hills south of Tehran and only publicly disclosed last month. The
No results from the inspection are expected until the team leaves the country, but some Iranian officials hailed the visit as an example that their nuclear program was open to international scrutiny.
"IAEA inspectors' visit to Fordo shows that Iran's nuclear activities are transparent and peaceful," the official IRNA news agency quoted lawmaker Hasan Ebrahimi as saying.
Another test of Iran's cooperation is fast approaching, however. Iran has promised to respond this
inspectors are expected to study plant blueprints, interview workers and take soil samples before wrapping up the three-day mission.
Iran says that by reporting the existence of the site voluntarily, it "pre-empted a conspiracy" by the United States and its allies who were hoping to present the site as evidence that Iran was developing its nuclear program in secret.
week to a U.N.-brokered deal to process its nuclear fuel abroad — a plan designed to ease Western fears about Iran's potential ability to produce weapons-grade material.
The current inspection of Iran's second enrichment site came about a month after Tehran disclosed its existence in a letter to the IAEA, the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog. The notification to the U.N. agency came just days before President Barack Obama and other Western leaders claimed Iran has been hiding the facility from the world for years.
proof is on Iran" to convince the international community its nuclear program is peaceful.
The IAEA says Tehran should have reported it before it started construction. And the new facility, about 20 miles north of the holy city of Qom, immediately raised suspicions about the aim of the nuclear program — which Iran claims is only for peaceful research and energy production.
After Iran's disclosure, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that "the burden of
