One of the ways Mark Desetti
remains safe when hes riding a
bicycle is to pretend as if hes a car.
I treat myself as if Im a normal
car and I think that really helps,
Desetti said.
Desetti, a local member of the
citys Bicycle Advisory Committee,
said he enjoyed cycling for recre-
ation and he thought Lawrence was
a bike-friendly community.
Ive found that Lawrence cit-
izens are very understanding of
bicyclists, Desetti said. I myself
feel very safe cycling in the city.
Although Desetti said Lawrence
was generally a safe place to cycle,
he recognized there were areas that
needed improvement.
Desetti said bicycle safety in
Lawrence wasnt perfect, however.
He said the downtown areas of
the city, 23rd and Sixth streets, are
high traffic areas and can be more
dangerous to cyclists than other
roadways.
Sergeant Michael Monroe of the
Lawrence Police Department said
he thought every community could
improve on bicycle safety issues,
but thought Lawrence was very
committed to bicyclist safety.
Monroe said there were 23
bicycle vs. motor vehicle accidents
in Lawrence in 2008. He said
Lawrence had not had a bicycle
fatality accident of this type for at
least five years before Rachel Leek
was killed last week. A car struck
Leeks bicycle in the 1000 block of
Tennessee Street Friday.
Since 2004, Lawrence and
Shawnee were the only Kansas
communities to be recognized as
a Bicycle Friendly city by the
League of American Bicyclists.
The organization promotes bicy-
cling in America through advo-
cacy and education.
Desetti said he had lived and
cycled in other cities across the
map, but thought Lawrence was
the most bike-friendly of them
all.

Anyone who knew Robert
Bobby Weiss knew how kind and
outgoing he was, say his closest
friends and loved ones.
I will never forget his smile,
Zac Weiss, Bobbys brother, said.
He always seemed so happy about
whatever he was doing.
Bobby, a sophomore majoring
in biology, died Oct. 11 in his off-
campus home.
Jake Rasmussen, a friend of
Bobbys from his hometown of
Colby, said he remembered Bobbys
outgoing nature.
He always had a joke and a
smile, always ready to strike up
a conversation with anyone
he made people feel comfortable
and included, no matter who they
were, Rasmussen said.
The youngest of five broth-
ers, friends and family members
described Bobby as a family-ori-
ented man who loved nothing more
than to spend the day outdoors. He
also enjoyed debating philosophy
and religion.
Bobby was very existential in
his thinking, Zac said. He was
very open minded and curious. He
questioned everything he heard.
John Morton, a friend of the
Weiss family in Colby, said Bobby
loved having a good time and tell-
ing stories.
He never took anything too
seriously and I never saw the kid
mad, Morton said.
Friends and family members
said there was not a person in the
world who disliked Bobby, which
was why they said they were so
shocked when they heard Bobby
had taken his own life.
After high school, Bobby spent
a year at Colby Community
College before transferring to the
University of Kansas this semes-
ter. Despite concerns about leaving
his ailing mother, who had been
diagnosed with cancer three years
earlier, he decided it would be best
after her strong suggestions to pur-
sue an education.
He was definitely looking for-
ward to chasing girls and going to
parties and doing all the things that
college kids do, Zac said. Im just
not sure if he was really ready to
leave home yet.
Less than a month after he
moved to Lawrence, his mother
passed away. In returning home to
be with his family, Bobby missed
about 10 days of classes at the start
of the semester.
Zac said that the last time he
spoke with Bobby he seemed to
be doing well with his academic
work and said he was nearly caught
up. But less than six weeks after
he returned to Lawrence, Bobby
took his own life. Family members
said the news came as a complete
shock.
They said that in dealing with
the loss of his mother, Weiss was
often around to provide encour-
agement for others struggling with
the death.
Bobby was the last person we

Author to discuss issues with health care costs in America
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
T.R. Reid will discuss health care costs in the U.S. at 7:30 tonight inWoodruf Auditorium.

BY LaUren HendrICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
Journalist T.R. Reid was really
looking forward to enjoying the
Kansas vs. Oklahoma game this
Saturday after his two-day visit to
the University, but the popularity
of his New York Times best selling
book, The Healing of America: A
Global Quest For Better, Cheaper
and Fairer Health Care, has him
flying to Boston instead.
Reid will speak about health
care at 7:30 tonight at Woodruff
Auditorium in The Kansas Union
as part of the 2009-2010 Hall Center
for The Humanities lecture series.
His lecture, Were Number 37!
Why Other Countries have Better,
Fairer and Cheaper Health Care
than the USA, will focus on why
United States health care ranks
37th in overall system performance
among other countries.
My lecture will answer this ques-
tion: All the other industrialized
democracies provide high qual-
ity medical care for everybody, but
spend half as much as we do on
health care. How do they do that?
Reid said.
Victor Bailey, director of the Hall
Center, said he began planning
Reids visit nearly a year ago when
health care was a key platform in
the 2008 presidential election. He
said inviting Reid to speak at the
University was a priority because
of the relevance of the health care
debate.
It pushes a lot of buttons with
the American public, Bailey said.
According to the 2008 U.S.
Census Bureau report, more than
46 million Americans do not have
health insurance.
George Dungan, Lincoln, Neb.,
senior, said he was interested in
attending the event because health
care reform was one of his big
concerns.

SAN FRANCISCO A 70-foot,
female blue whale that officials
believe was struck by a ship has
washed ashore on the Northern
California coast in what scientists
are calling a rare occurrence.
The whale was first spotted on
shore near Fort Bragg in Mendocino
County Monday night, hours after
an ocean survey vessel reported
hitting a whale a few miles away,
said Joe Cordaro, a wildlife biolo-
gist with the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administrations
marine fisheries service.
Blue whales are the worlds larg-
est mammals.
Students from California State
University, Humboldt, examined
the whales massive body Tuesday
as it lay on its side in a rocky
cove.
I was personally jazzed just
to see the animal, said Thor
Holmes, a lecturer in mammolo-
gy at the school. He has examined
other whale species that washed
ashore but never a blue whale.
The whale had two gashes on
its back at least one of which
was deep enough to cut through
the blubber down to the vertebral
column, Holmes said.
It otherwise appeared to be in
good health.
Its unusual for blue whales to
wash ashore, Cordaro said. Last
week, another blue whale washed
up in Monterey County after
being hit by a ship.
Before that, the last time a blue
whale washed onto a California
beach was 2007.
The whales are usually far
offshore, deep water animals,
Cordaro said.
Although blue whales are con-
sidered endangered, experts say
they have recently made a come-
back and now number several
thousand.
Some blue whales feed in the
waters off Central and Northern
California this time of year then
migrate elsewhere to breed, said
Dawn Goley, an associate profes-
sor of zoology at the Humboldt
campus.
Researchers have taken skin
and blubber samples from the
beached animal to see what
contaminants it may have been
exposed to and what population
group it comes from.

I think students are aware
there is an issue and they definitely
know it needs to be reformed, like,
today, Dungan said.
Bailey said he was intrigued by
Reids work because he compared
and contrasted
health care around
the world and con-
veyed that reform
wasnt inconceiv-
able.
Reids book
explores health
care in other
wealthy and indus-
trialized countries,
including France,
Germany, Japan, the United
Kingdom and Canada. Reid said
his interest in health care devel-
oped when his family lived abroad
during his years as a foreign corre-
spondent and bureau chief for the
Washington Post.
Were a fourth-rate power in
keeping people healthy, Reid said.
That became totally clear.
He said he remembered one
instance when he had to call a
doctor in Britain to care for one of
his children.
The doctor came
to the house, treated
our kid and left. No
co-pay, no deduc-
table, nothing, he
said. Health care
is the governments
responsibility.
Reid said he was
also impressed with
the health care his
family received in Japan.
You could go to the doctor and
it was cheaper than a meal from
McDonalds, he said. It was fabu-
lous care.
During his reporting, Reid
teamed with PBS Frontline and
made the 2008 documentary
Sick Around The World, which
focused on five of his visits in
various countries to examine their
health care systems. Reid has also
written and hosted documentaries
for National Geographic TV and
A&E Network.
Reid graduated from Princeton
in 1966 and served in the Navy for
five years during the Vietnam War.
He is the author of seven books
in English and three in Japanese.
He has reported from three dozen
countries on five continents and
is a regular commentator for
National Public Radio.
Reids lecture will be followed by
a question and answer period. The
lecture is sponsored by The Hall

The three most important things
bicyclists can do to be safe is follow
traffic laws, wear bright clothing
and act as if they are operating a
regular car, Desetti said.
As a cyclist, you have to show
extra vigilance when it comes to
being aware of those around you,
Desetti said.
Monroe said people traveling
both in motor vehicles and on bicy-
cles could do more to be aware of
their surroundings.
Obviously, the best way to stay
bicycle-friendly is for bike riders
and drivers alike to be more courte-
ous to each other, Monroe said.
A map illustrating all Lawrence
streets that are designated as bicy-
cle-friendly routes or have bicycle
lanes is available in local bicycle
shops, or online on the citys official
Web site.
Monroe said the city was always
looking to increase the number of
bike lanes and improve awareness
of bicycle safety issues.
Malakai Edison, Lawrence resi-
dent and 2009 KU graduate, said
he does not own a car and rides a
bicycle wherever he goes.
Edison said he thought Lawrence
was biker-friendly in general, but
felt the community could improve
in some areas.
A lot of motorists seem to get
annoyed at cyclists, and that can
cause some problems. Edison said.
Edison said he thought Kentucky
and Tennessee streets were also
more dangerous than other roads
in Lawrence. He said it was because
those streets had a higher speed
limit and often had both pedestrians
and cars coming from all angles.
The bike lanes on streets were
not entirely effective because many
cars seem to drive over them and
they often end after a few blocks,
Edison said.
Obviously there are times you
want to keep going but the bike lane
just ends, Edison said.

authorities order release
of human rights ofcial
AssociAted Press
EL PASO, Texas Immigration
authorities released a Mexican
human rights official Wednesday,
after detaining him last week as
an asylum seeker even though he
had not sought U.S. protection, his
attorney said.
Immigration agents stopped and
interviewed Gustavo de la Rosa
Hickerson last Thursday as he
crossed the border from Ciudad
Juarez, Mexico. During the inter-
view, de la Rosa acknowledged that
he feared for his life after reporting
that some Mexican soldiers were
violating human rights in a bloody
war against powerful drug car-
tels in the city, said lawyer Carlos
Spector.
Immigration officials said they
detained him due to mandato-
ry detention provisions for his
safety.
The U.S. government has decid-
ed to not pursue asylum for de
la Rosa, Spector said Wednesday,
adding that his clients tourist visa
had been returned. He said de la
Rosa planned to spend Wednesday
night in El Paso and attend a news
conference Thursday.
A local activist group, Border
Network for Human Rights, said in
a statement that de la Rosa would
return to Juarez, across the bor-
der from El Paso, and continue
his human rights investigations,
which are so needed in the climate
of violence and abuse ongoing in
Juarez.
De la Rosa, who works for
the Human Rights Commission
in Juarez, Chihuahua state, says
he has filed reports to Mexican
military authorities detailing at
least 170 cases of human rights
abuses among soldiers patrolling
the nearly lawless city. He said a
man threatened him at gunpoint
last month.
The Mexican government
released a report Wednesday say-
ing that the murder rate in Juarez
was reaching record highs even
though it was already among the
highest in the world.

ORANGE PARK, Fla.
Authorities searching for a miss-
ing 7-year-old north Florida girl
said they found the body of a
young child in a Georgia landfill
Wednesday, but it has not yet been
identified.
Clay County, Fla., Sheriff Rick
Beseler first said the body was
a female, but
then corrected
himself and
said he couldnt
yet confirm the
gender. The par-
ents of Somer
Thompson, who
has been missing
since Monday,
have been noti-
fied.
The body was found by Clay
County detectives who followed
garbage trucks from the girls
neighborhood to Folkston, Ga.,
just north of the Florida state line.
Beseler said investigators
searched through 100 tons of gar-
bage before finding the partially
covered body. He did not give any
other details about the discovery.
The Georgia Bureau of
Investigation was helping with
the investigation and planned to
conduct an autopsy on the body
Thursday in its Savannah office,
spokesman John Bankhead said.
We all need to say a prayer
for Somers family, Florida Gov.
Charlie Crist said at a press confer-
ence announcing the discovery.
Somer vanished on her mile-long
walk home from school Monday in
Orange Park. She was squabbling
with another child, and her sister
told her to stop. The girl got upset,
walked ahead of the group and
wasnt seen again.
Orange Park is a suburb
of Jacksonville just south of
Jacksonville Naval
Air Station. The area
where the girl disap-
peared is a heavily
populated residential
area with homes,
apartment complexes
and condominiums.
Investigators said
before the body was
discovered they sus-
pected foul play in her
disappearance.
We want to find who did this
and bring them to justice, the
sheriff said.
Earlier Wednesday, the girls
parents made emotional pleas for
their daughter to be returned home
safely.
Somer, youre not in trouble
if youre scared, just come home,
Diena Thompson said on NBCs
Today show Wednesday. And if
somebody has her, please, please
bring her back to us. She belongs
with her family.
Father Sam Thompson, who
lives in Graham, N.C., also pleaded
for her safe return.

KU campus now featured on Google Earth
BY BETH BEAVERS
bbeavers@kansan.com
Navigating the 1,000 acres of
campus can be a daunting task,
and differentiating between the
almost 130 buildings can be
even more confusing. But now,
thanks to Google and a little help
from a University graduate, get-
ting around campus will be much
easier.
Brian McClendon, a 1986 gradu-
ate and vice president of engineer-
ing at Google, said the company
had incorporated a few hundred
campuses across the United States
into its maps.
The University of Kansas and
Wichita State are the only two
campuses in Kansas to be includ-
ed.
The interactive maps include
buildings around campus, as well
as their addresses and phone num-
bers. The street view feature also
shows a picture of the building.
We are always happy to have
additional resources available to
help people navigate and explore
the University, Jill Jess, associate
director of University Relations
said. While KU already provides
an interactive map with many fea-
tures, Google offers another tool
to assist Jayhawks and would-be
Jayhawks.
Kris Laur, Milwaukee senior,
agreed the Google map of campus
could help with some of the con-
fusion new students face.
When I was a freshman, I went
to GSP the dorm instead of JRP the
education building, Laur said.
McClendon is in charge of
Googles geographical content,
which includes Google Earth,
Google Maps and Google Street
View. He said Google decided to
add campus maps to improve the
coverage of Google maps.
McClendon said during his
time as an electrical engineering
major at the University he did
more with software than hard-
ware.
He said he learned how to
work with graphics, and that it
was the beginnings of Keyhole,
which eventually led to him help-
ing create Google Earth. The
Google Earth application opens
at Meadowbrook Apartments
because that is where he lived as
a child.
McClendon said people used
Google maps everywhere, not just
their desktop computers. He said
many people accessed the maps
from their phones and laptops.
Laur said Google maps were
the default maps on her iPhone.
Though she no longer confuses
GSP with JRP, she said the maps
were still helpful.
I would use them because of
how easy I can access them on my
phone, she said. Its way easier
than carrying a map around.

QUANTICO, Va. A Marine
Corps sergeant was sentenced
Wednesday to 18 months confne-
ment and fned $25,000 for pre-
tending to be an injured war hero
to get free seats at rock concerts
and professional sporting events.
Sgt. David W. Budwah also will
be reduced in rank to private and
dishonorably discharged afer any
appeals. He must forfeit all pay
and benefts during his confne-
ment and is subject to up to 3 1/2
years of additional prison time if
he re-ofends within two years.
Navy Capt. Bruce W. MacKen-
zie, chief judge for the Navy and
Marine Corps, gave the sentence
afer Budwah pleaded guilty to
seven counts in a military court-
room on the Marine Corps Base
in Quantico, Va. Te ofenses in-
cluded making false statements,
malingering, misconduct and
unlawful appropriation, and car-
ried a combined maximum prison
term of 8 1/2 years.
Budwah, 34, of Springhill, La.,
acknowledged during the hearing
that he was never deployed to Iraq
or Afghanistan, as he had claimed.
He said he lied about having helped
with the 2004 tsunami relief efort
and didnt earn eight medals and
ribbons he wore on his uniform.
Te truth of it is, I was never
deployed and I was never injured,
Budwah said. Everything that I
said was false.
He was actually a radio op-
erator in Okinawa, Japan, from
early 2000 to early 2006, when he
was transferred to Quantico and
worked as a retail store stock clerk
and warehouse laborer.
He admitted to blufng his way
into 13 events last year including
banquets; Counting Crows, Bos-
ton and Collective Soul concerts;
a Washington Redskins football
game; and a Washington Nation-
als baseball game.
He also lied to obtain a laptop
computer and personal digital as-
sistant from Soldiers Angels, an
organization that helps wounded
service members.
It does a lot of damage, Kassie
Claughton, a Soldiers Angels rep-
resentative, testifed. People who
actually have been in combat it
kind of neglects what theyre going
through.
Budwah acknowledged he lied
when he told young boys at an
American Legion camp in western
Maryland in July 2008 that he was
wounded in Afghanistan when he
dove on a homemade grenade to
shield a buddy from the blast.
He apologized to those he de-
ceived, especially workers and
volunteers at the National Naval
Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.,
where he was an inpatient during
the second half of 2008.
You were only trying to help
me and I betrayed that trust,
Budwah said.
He said he initially was sent to
the hospital for outpatient treat-
ment for stomach problems and
then became depressed and sui-
cidal afer a romantic relationship
his frst since a divorce ended
in April 2008.

then 911, saying his son got
inside the experimental craft
before it took of. A dispatcher
asks to talk to his wife, who
says her other son thought he

The boy was later found at
the familys Fort Collins home.
Sherif Jim Alderden says
it was a hoax, which Richard

DES MOINES, Iowa A
funeral home is giving people one
last chance to have their name in
lights.
Iles Funeral Home in Des
Moines is going high-tech with
its funeral announcements, put-
ting them on electronic billboards
around the city.
John Wild, the general manager
for Iles, compared it to the post-
ing of funeral announcements at
shops and post offices in rural
communities where the business
has funeral homes.
Thats how we get the word
out about visitations and services
in those communities and when
we were approached about using
electronic billboards, we thought
it would be a good way to do the
same thing here in Des Moines,
Wild said.
Jessica Koth, spokeswoman for
the National Funeral Directors
Association in Brookfield, Wis.,
said its the first time shes heard of
a funeral home displaying service
information on a billboard.
Wild was approached by Clear
Channel Outdoors, which pro-
vides the digital billboards, about
advertising Iles Funeral Home on
the signs. Instead, Wild decided
to use the billboards to let the
public know about visitations and
funeral services.
I thought it was forward think-
ing and innovative, said Tim
Jameson, president of the Des
Moines division of Clear Channel
Outdoor.
The digital announcements,
which have appeared on five bill-
boards around Des Moines for a
few months, last about 8 seconds.
Announcements can flash the
persons name, picture and ser-
vice details as well as the funeral
homes Web site.
The announcement rotates with
other ads and there is no addi-
tional cost to the family.
Koth acknowledged concerns
that the billboards could be a dis-
traction, particularly if someone
spots the name of a friend or
acquaintance without knowing
about it beforehand.
But Jameson said he doesnt
think the billboards have been a
problem.
The ad is for people who nor-
mally wouldnt be reached, he
said. Its no different that getting
a text message or e-mail on your
phone while youre driving down
the road that somebody has died.

MOBILE, Ala. Kidnapping
and extortion charges against a
former Alabama judge were dis-
missed Wednesday, but a jury will
deliberate the remaining felony
counts accusing him of paddling
and sexually abusing male inmates
in return for leniency.
Circuit Judge Claud Neilson
said jurors would hear closing
arguments in the pared-down
case against former Mobile
Circuit Judge Herman Thomas
on Thursday morning and begin
deliberating later in the day.
Thomas, 48, was a community
leader in Mobile, serving as a judge
for 17 years, a trustee of two uni-
versities and an organizer of men-
toring programs for youth.
He resigned in 2007 when alle-
gations surfaced that he spanked
defendants with a wooden paddle.
Then earlier this year a grand
jury indicted him on charges that
he physically and sexually abused
young male defendants in return
for help with their cases.
He originally faced 103 charges
involving 15 young men, but pros-
ecutors dropped four of the mens
cases during the trial, and the
judge threw out all ethics charges
against him because the statute of
limitations expired.
On Wednesday, the judge dis-
missed kidnapping charges, say-
ing accusations that Thomas took
young men to a private courthouse
office for paddlings didnt consti-
tute kidnapping.

Halloween has morphed into
a gore fest that has kids as young
as 6 unleashing their inner mon-
sters in ultra-violent costumes
blood-smeared chain saws and
spiked killing gloves sold sepa-
rately.
Options include
Leatherface from
Texas Chainsaw
Massacre, Jason
(Friday the
13th), Freddy
(A Nightmare
on Elm Street)
and Michael
(Hal loween).
Costume sizes
can run so small
that many wear-
ers might be too
young to have seen the slash-
er movies under film industry
guidelines.
Fanged creatures feasting on
brain stems. Possessed babies
chomping on arms. Not all par-
ents think its OK for the holi-
day second only to Christmas
in the minds of many kids to be
more a celebration of the most
deranged characters pop culture
has to offer.
Bloody, sadistic, nightmare-
inducing Halloween costumes are
indeed being made and marketed
for kids, and no one seems to
care, said Joel Schwartzberg, a
parenting writer and Montclair,
N.J., dad of a 10-year-old boy and
twin 7-year-old girls.
Schwartzberg is fighting back at
tooscarycostumes.com, which he
hopes will raise awareness about
how Halloween has strayed from
sickly sweet to just plain sick. No
puritan, he said he loves a good
horror flick and has even written
some himself, but whats the point
of all the realistic
gore for the very
young, anyway?
I think wear-
ing these costumes
and being exposed
to human depravity,
even in a fun context,
doesnt scar kids so
much as desensitize
them to brutal vio-
lence, Schwartzberg
said. Kids are less
able to distinguish
between real world and fictional
brutality than grown-ups.
Some schools are also con-
cerned, toning down Halloween
c e l e b r a t i o n s
or banning
them altogether
because of com-
plaints about the
gore factor, along
with religious
objections and
concerns about
too much candy
and potentially
dangerous props
like pointy toy swords and vision-
impairing masks.
But its Halloweeeeeeeeeen, cos-
tume companies and other parents
argue, urging the bothered among
them to exercise the privilege of
saying No to violent, realistic
gore.
Its one night a year let
them have fun as long as its
something thats not dangerous
or putting their life in jeopardy,
said Big Lake, Minn., mom Cindy
Chapman, who has a 9-year-old
daughter. I also have a rule: No
store bought outfits, so that truly
forces my daughter to be creative
AND it cuts down on a lot of the
commercial gore.
Marilynn A. Wick, founder and
CEO for one of the largest costume
distributors, Costume World, said
the company relies on customers
to use their best discretion in
selecting costumes and makeup
for young people. She added that
children are inspired by films and
video games and that Costume
World has a responsibility and a
mission to supply our clients with
the most up-to-date
costumes and acces-
sories, many of which
are inspired by these
visual stimuli.
Many too scary

tered lab coat and fully detailed
exposed and rotted rib cage.

Researchers work to prevent STD
BY JESSE BROWN
jbrown@kansan.com
Chlamydia trachomatis, or chla-
mydia for short, is the most com-
mon bacterial sexually transmitted
disease reported not only in the
United States, but worldwide.
According to the national Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention,
1,030,911, chlamydial infections
were reported in the United States
in 2006, though many cases go
unreported.
Scott Hefty, professor of molecu-
lar bioscience, is working with a
team of researchers to create the
basis for an antibiotic to treat the
disease. Hefty said the team hoped
to discover how to prevent the
growth of chlamydial infections by
understanding the basic functions
of the disease.
Our laboratory is focused on
trying to disrupt the growth of the
organism or identify specific steps
that are important for this organism
to grow, Hefty said.
The research team consists of
Hefty, two research technicians,
three graduate students and one
undergraduate student.
Kyle Kemege is a Wichita gradu-
ate student working with the team
to combat the disease.
Were trying to figure out what
makes it tick, Kemege said of the
disease. If we know how it works,
we know how to mess it up.
Kemege said each student or
technician was working on his or
her own basic project as part of the
overall research. Kemege is work-
ing on decoding a specific protein,
called protein CT009, that is not
entirely understood. He said even
understanding such a basic part of
the chlamydial growth would make
a difference in their research.
The protein regulates the func-
tion of the disease.
This protein, in some ways, is
similar to other proteins that are
major regulators in other organ-
isms, Kemege said.
He also said their research focus-
es on trying to understand this
unknown protein and the role it
has in the developmental cycle of
chlamydia.
Zane Jaafar, is one of the research
technicians and is taking a year
off before graduate school to par-
ticipate in this research. As a former
KU student, Jaafar has worked with
the researchers in the past.
Jaafar is taking a broader approach
to the problem and is trying under-
stand a large number of the proteins
around the disease.
Although Hefty said understand-
ing the basic functions to disrupt
chlamydial growth was the labo-
ratorys short-term goal, the long-
term goal was to develop the basis
for an antibiotic to effectively treat
chlamydia within five to 10 years.
Hefty said there were antibiotics
such as doxycycline, which slows
the growth of bacteria, used to cure
the disease, but problems were aris-
ing as people became more resistant
to the antibiotic.
Bacteria will eventually gain
resistance to those antibiotics we
use, Hefty said. In chlamydia, there
already has been resistance that has
been demonstrated against doxycy-
cline, so we need new antibiotics.
chlamydia is known as a silent
disease because about 75 percent of
women and 50 percent of men show
no symptoms, according to the
CDC. If these infections continue
to go untreated, serious reproduc-
tive and other health problems can
occur. The CDC Web site has more
information on chlamydia and its
health risks.
Its really interesting to work on
a micro-organism that has such a
significant impact on public health
worldwide, Kemege said. I feel like
it has a major impact on the world
and health.

Clerk steals winning
lottery ticket and fees
aSSOciatEd PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas A 25-year-
old convenience store clerk pock-
eted a customers $1 million win-
ning lottery ticket, claimed the
prize and skipped town, possibly
back to his native Nepal, authori-
ties said.
Pankaj Joshi took 67-year-
old Willis Willis winning Mega
Millions megaplier ticket after Willis
asked Joshi in May to check wheth-
er any of his numbers were win-
ners, investigators said in a search
warrant affidavit
last month.
Joshi claimed
the prize
about $750,000
after taxes
at the lottery
claim center in
Austin, had the
money wired to
a bank account
and disap-
peared, authorities said.
Never to this degree have we
seen a clerk steal a megaplier
winning ticket, assistant district
attorney Patty Robertson said
Wednesday.
Nick Parveez, Joshis former
manager at Luckys Food Store in
Grand Prairie, near Dallas, called
the lottery commission in July to
voice his suspicions about Joshi
after hearing that his store sold a
$1 million winning ticket, accord-
ing to the affidavit.
No one at Luckys had ever
seen Joshi play the lottery, assis-
tant manager Mike Rahman said.
He just left, Rahman said.
We were shocked. We didnt
know he could do anything like
this.
Joshi, who was a student at the
University of Texas at Arlington
and had worked at the store for
five years, was charged in Travis
County in September with one
count of claiming a lottery prize by
fraud. If convicted, he could face
up to 20 years in prison.
The Austin American-
Statesman first reported on the
charge Wednesday.
Joshi transferred some of the
money to various
bank accounts after
the initial deposit by
the lottery, prosecu-
tors said. Authorities
have recovered
$365,000 from Joshis
account. It wasnt
clear when the money
might be returned to
Willis, if its proven in
court to be his.
We hope to return the sto-
len funds back to the victim,
Robertson said.
Investigators believe Joshi may
have returned to Nepal. When he
quit his job in June, Joshi said he
was returning to the South Asian
country to help his cousin with
her perfume business, Parveez
told investigators.
Willis, a regular customer at
Luckys, said he played the lottery
two to three times a week using
a set batch of numbers. He said
he bought $10 worth of Mega
Millions megaplier tickets on
May 29 for that nights drawing,
according to the affidavit.
We were shocked.
We didnt know he

CONCORD, N.H. As a grow-
ing number of manufacturers com-
pete to meet consumer demand for
thick, tangy Greek-style yogurt, its
not only the yogurt thats getting
strained.
For most of the last decade, a
Greek dairy company dominated
the U.S. market for the yogurt, which
is produced by straining out the liq-
uid whey from conventional yogurt.
But as the product caught on, com-
petitors cropped up, including New
Hampshire-based Stonyfeld Farm,
the countrys largest organic yogurt
company.
Now that competition is playing
out in federal court. Its hardly the
stuf of Greek tragedy, but as one
judge put it: Tis case involves a
dispute among yogurt manufactur-
ers over a relationship gone sour.
When Stonyfeld launched its
Greek-style yogurt, Oikos, in
2007, the market was mostly cor-
nered by the Greek company Fage
(pronounced FA-yeh). So Stonyfeld
teamed up with Agro-Farma Inc.,
whose Turkish-born owner, Ham-
di Ulukaya, already owned a feta
cheese company and was looking
into producing Greek-style yogurt.
But in late 2008, Oikos disap-
peared from grocery store shelves
for a month. On its Web site, Stony-
feld blamed a glitch as it increased
production.
Court documents tell another
story. Stonyfeld claims Agro-Farma
delivered a bad batch of yogurt, then
illegally terminated their relation-
ship. In a countersuit, Agro-Farma,
which now produces its own Greek-
style yogurt
called Chobani,
claims Stonyfeld
stole its yogurt-
making secrets
and handed
them to another
manufacturer.
Te ferce
competition is
no surprise given
yogurts status as
the food of the decade, said Harry
Balzar, vice president of consumer
research frm NPD Group. Te
number of Americans who eat yo-
gurt regularly has increased 75 per-
cent during the last decade, he said.
For the last 10 years, nothing
has increased as much as yogurt,
he said. Its a category thats grow-
ing at breakfast, lunch, supper. Its a
main dish, its a side dish, its a des-
sert. When we look back on this pe-
riod in history 200 years from now,
an archaeologist fnds a little cup of
yogurt, they may not know it, but
theyve stumbled upon what prob-
ably is the most identifable trend
associated with eating in America
today.
Sales of Chobani yogurt between
late June and early Sep-
tember increased 351
percent compared to
the previous 12 weeks,
according to data that
market research frm
Information Resources
Inc. provided to Agro-
Farma. Oikos sales were
up 282 percent.
According to the law-
suits, Agro-Farma began

TOLEDO, Ohio Two of
three Ohio men convicted of
plotting to recruit and train ter-
rorists to kill U.S. soldiers in
Iraq were sentenced in federal
court Wednesday to more than a
decade in prison.
Mohammad Amawi received a
20-year term, with credit for three
years he
has already
spent in
custody. He
will remain
under life-
time super-
vision upon
his release,
U.S. District
Judge James
Carr said. Marwan El-Hindi, 46,
described by prosecutors as the
leader, was sentenced to 12 years
in prison, and given an 18-month
consecutive term on an unrelated
fraud conviction.
Both men had faced a maxi-
mum sentence of life in prison.
This isnt a capital T terror-
ism case, Carr said.
But the judge said he hoped
the sentences send a message to
anyone who is tempted to even
talk about harming American
soldiers.
Amawi, El-Hindi and Wassim
Mazloum, all of Middle Eastern
descent, met in Toledo about five
years ago and began plotting and
training to help insurgents in
Iraq, the FBI said during their
trial last year.
But defense lawyers argued
that their clients were set up by
an undercover FBI informant.
Wednesday, the judge said that
while the informant played a huge
role in the case, his actions did
not amount to entrapment. Carr
said Amawi could
have backed out,
but instead talked
about plans to help
the insurgency in
Iraq and watched
Jihadist videos.
Talk of kill-
ing troops isnt
protected by free
speech, the judge
said, and is not just idle chatter
or fantasy.
Prosecutors described El-Hindi
as the leader among the three.
His role was to recruit,
encourage and facilitate his pro-
teges, federal prosecutor Thomas
Getz said.
An attorney for El-Hindi, who
has lived in the United States for
25 years, said his client never
took any action toward harming
U.S. soldiers.
And El-Hindi said his only
mistake was speaking with a man
who turned out to be a govern-
ment informant.
I became American by choice.
I love this country more than any
country in the world, El-Hindi
said. If I disagree with the gov-
ernment, that does not mean I
want any harm to this country.
The judge determined that
El-Hindi tried to recruit two
Chicago-area cousins into the
groups plot.
Mazloum was to be sentenced
Wednesday night.
After the judge first sentenced
Amawi, defense attorney Edward
Bryan said Carr was courageous
given that the government wanted
the maximum punishment for his
client. Bryan said Amawis inter-
est in learning how to shoot guns
and defend himself was based
on a desire to protect himself
and his family. He said the case
against Amawi was conceived,
contrived and concocted by the
government.
Lawyers for all three defen-
dants say their clients were
manipulated by the prosecutions
star witness, Darren Griffin.
The undercover FBI infor-
mant and former Army Special
Forces soldier recorded the men
for about two years beginning
in 2004 while they talked about
training in explosives, guns, and
sniper tactics. They often met in
their homes and at a tiny store-
front mosque where they prayed
together.
Defense attorneys noted that
Griffin was involved in all the
recorded conversations presented
to the jury, and said the gov-
ernment provided no evidence
of telephone conversations or
e-mails dealing with the alleged
plot among only the defendants.
Griffin said most people at the
mosque shunned him and no one
raised any threats until El-Hindi
began talking about kidnapping
Israeli soldiers.
Amawi, Griffin
said, asked him
to help train two
recruits from
Chicago for holy
war.
Griffin tes-
tified that he
twice traveled
to Jordan with
Amawi and also
taught Amawi and Mazloum how
to shoot guns.
Amawi, El-Hindi and Mazloum
were convicted of conspiring to
kill or maim people outside the
United States, including military
personnel.
Amawi and El-Hindi were
convicted of distributing infor-
mation regarding explosives to
terrorists.
Amawi and El-Hindi are
U.S. citizens. Mazloum came to
the U.S. legally from Lebanon.
El-Hindi was born in Jordan.

LANDOVER, Md. President
Barack Obama unveiled plans
Wednesday to refocus spending
of the governments $700 billion
financial bailout away from Wall
Streets big financial institutions
and toward small businesses on
Main Street.
Speaking in a small business near
Washington, Obama said the initia-
tives would make it easier for small-
er community banks to provide
credit to small businesses, which
have been hard-hit by the finan-
cial crisis. The presidents plan also
includes a request that Congress
increase caps for existing Small
Business Administration loans.
Over the past decade and a half,
Americas small businesses have
created 65 percent of all new jobs in
the country, Obama told about 150
employees at a storage businesss
warehouse on the eastern outskirts
of Washington.
These companies are the engine
of job growth in America, he said.
They fuel our prosperity. And
thats why they have to be at the
forefront of our recovery.
The shift in focus comes amid
outrage over record payouts to
financial executives, some of
whom work at firms that needed
Washington to bail them out with
billions of taxpayer dollars last year.
Obama officials called the bonuses
offensive and instead sought to
convince the country that Obamas
administration was interested in
everyday Americans struggles, not
just the problems of those on Wall
Street.
On Wednesday, Obama pitched
his plan as a way to create jobs and
change day-to-day life.
These entrepreneurial pioneers
embody the spirit of possibility, the
tireless work ethic, and the simple
hope for something better that lies
at the heart of the American ideal.
And they have always formed the
backbone of the American econo-
my, he said.
Theyre the ones whove opened
the mom-and-pop stores and start-
ed the computer tinkering that has
led to some of the biggest inno-
vations and corporations in the
world. After all, Hewlett Packard
began in a garage. Google began as
a research project. And McDonalds
started with just one restaurant.
The president called on lawmak-
ers on Capitol Hill to increase the
maximum size of loans small busi-
nesses can receive. The adminis-
trations plan would also provide
infusions of money to small banks
at low rates, provided they agree to
increase lending to small business-
es. Financial institutions, including
credit unions and banks, that serve
low income areas would also get
help at even lower rates to help
small businesses in the hardest-hit
rural and urban areas.

NEW YORK A legal provi-
sion criticized for making personal
tragedies worse by triggering the
automatic deportation of a small
group of widows and widowers of
U.S. citizens will not be in effect
for much longer.
Congress gave final approval
Tuesday to legislation that would
effectively abolish a provision
known as the Widows Penalty.
The measure is part of a big-
ger Homeland Security bill that
President Barack Obama is expect-
ed to sign.
Existing U.S. law triggers the
deportation of surviving immi-
grant spouses of American citi-
zens who die before they have
been married two years. The new
law would allow the widows to
submit petitions seeking residency
even when the spouse dies before
two years of marriage.
Its definitely a big relief, it
doesnt feel like prison any more
said Agnieszka Bernstein, whose
husband Bryan died of a heart
attack in 2006, just short of their
first anniversary,
at the age of 32.
Bernstein came
to the U.S. in 1998
from Gliwice,
Poland, and lives
in Spring Valley,
about 30 miles
north of New York
City. She works
part time as a den-
tal assistant and
cleaning houses, unable to visit
her family in Poland for fear she
would be denied re-entry.
Until yesterday it just felt like
a beautiful prison. I could leave
but I could never come back. I
felt trapped in this immigration
mess, Bernstein said in a tele-
phone interview Wednesday.
Those affected come from all
corners of the world and span
all economic backgrounds: They
include a woman from Kosovo
whose contractor husband was
killed in Iraq, a woman from
Ecuador whose husband was a
U.S. Border Patrol agent killed in
the line of duty, a Jamaican whose
husband was killed in New York
Citys Staten Island ferry accident,
and a Briton and former head chef
for Prince Charles and Princess
Diana whose actor husband died
of pancreatic cancer.
Ive got hundreds of messag-
es (from widows), and its real-
ly great, said Brent Renison, a
lawyer in Portland, Oregon, who
created a support network for
widows and widowers, and has
taken the lead in the widows class
action suit. At least 200 people are
affected by the widow penalty, he
estimates.
Im not religious, but I just
think that if there are souls of the
deceased out there theyre finally
at rest, Renison said.
Congress action
comes as the require-
ment is under legal
attack all over the
country, including a
class action lawsuit
filed in Los Angeles
and individual liti-
gation in Georgia,
New Jersey, New
York, Massachusetts,
Maryland, Missouri,
Ohio and Texas.
It also had led Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
this summer to suspend it for two
years. The agency said at the time
that legislation would be needed
to permanently fix the law.
The U.S. Citizen and
Immigration Services referred calls
to the Department of Homeland
Security, which released a state-
ment late Wednesday praising
Congress for supporting the wid-
ows and widowers of U.S. citizens
who otherwise would have been
denied the right to remain in the
United States.
At the root of the problem was a
1970 court ruling that stated that a
husbands death stripped the wife
of her position as spouse, mean-
ing she no longer qualified for a
green card. A 1990 law then nar-
rowed that rulings scope, saying
a widow married to a U.S. citizen
for at least two years can file a
petition for a residency permit on
her own behalf.
The new law, championed by
Rep. Jim McGovern and Sen. Bill
Nelson, removes the two-year
marriage requirement.
Lawyers representing some of
the widows said they would wait
until Obama signs the bill before
making any moves in the court
cases, though they expect to either
withdraw the lawsuits or settle the
cases.
The Congressional vote ends
years of uncertainly for people like
Irina Gorovets of Moscow, who
married Emil Gorovets, a compos-
er and singer, in February 2000.
He had emigrated from Russia in
1972 and become a U.S. citizen.
Two months after they were
married he became sick for the
first time, and was diagnosed with
diabetes and kidney failure. She
was tested to see if she could
donate a kidney, but was told she
was not compatible. He died at
home Aug. 17, 2001.
Since then, she spends her time
in the tiny New York apartment
they shared together, working to
keep her husbands legacy alive,
cataloguing his music and trans-
ferring his songs from records to
CDs.

SEATTLE Naveed Haq
wasnt insane just angry when
he stormed a Seattle Jewish cen-
ter in 2006, killing one woman
and wounding five others as he
railed against Israel and demanded
to go on CNN, a prosecutor said
Wednesday.
He was tired that no one was
listening to the Muslim point of
view. He wanted that point of view
heard, King County deputy pros-
ecutor Don Raz told jurors as Haqs
second trial opened Wednesday.
Naveed Haqs press release found
one woman dead, three women
struggling for their lives, two
women critically injured and a com-
munity struck to its core.
Haqs first trial ended last year
with jurors deadlocked on whether
he was legally insane during the
shooting spree on July 28, 2006.
The second trial effectively deter-
mines whether the 34-year-old will
spend the rest of his life in prison or
in a state mental hospital, as his own
lawyers have conceded he poses a
danger to the public and should
never be free.
Haq drove from his eastern
Washington home to Seattle the day
of the attack and forced a teenage
girl at gunpoint to let him into
the Jewish Federation of Greater
Seattle.
Once in the second-floor office,
he opened fire, shooting some peo-
ple in their cubicles, some in the hall
and one, Pamela Waechter, fatally as
she fled down a stairwell.
Raz acknowledged Haqs history
of mental illness, but focused his
opening statement on Haqs prepa-
rations in an effort to show that his
mind was clear that day.
Haq made several trips to gun
stores in the weeks prior to the
attack, wrote two documents on his
fathers computer criticizing Israel
and U.S. policy in the Middle East
and used MapQuest to find direc-
tions to the center from his familys
home in Pasco, 180 miles east of
Seattle.
On his way to the
Jewish center, he
pulled off Interstate
5 and test-fired his
gun, Raz said, and
when pulled over
for driving down
a bus-only street
in rush hour, he
seemed normal to
a police officer.
In a recorded phone conversation
after the shooting, Raz said, Haq
told his mother, I did a very good
thing. I did it for a good reason.
She said, I know youre not well,
to which Haq replied: Whatever,
Mom.
One of Haqs lawyers, John
Carpenter, argued that Haq could
not perceive the quality of his
actions, and that he believed he
could change the course of wars by
attacking the Jewish Federation.
There could be
no defense for this
act if it was borne by
an undiseased mind,
Carpenter said. But
it wasnt.
C a r p e n t e r
described Haqs con-
dition as psychizoaf-
fective disorder with
bipolar tendencies
and said that his trou-
bles became worse when he studied
at the University of Pennsylvania.
He said his client would hear
voices that called him a loser and
a homo.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. More than
50 followers of spiritual guru James
Arthur Ray had just endured fve
strenuous days of fasting, sleep-de-
privation and mind-altering breath-
ing exercises when he led them into
a sweat lodge ceremony.
It was supposed to be a religious
awakening, the culmination of a
$9,000-plus-a-person retreat out-
side Sedona, Ariz., aimed at helping
people fnd a new vision for life. But
it wasnt long before the ceremony
turned into a terrifying experience.
People were vomiting in the sti-
fing heat, gasping for air, and laying
lifeless on the sand and gravel foor
beneath them, according to partici-
pant Beverley Bunn. One man was
burned when he crawled into the
rocks, seemingly unaware of what
he was doing, she said.
When participants showed weak-
ness, Ray urged them to push past
it and chided those who wanted to
leave, she said. I cant get her to
move. I cant get her to wake up,
Bunn recalls hearing from two
sides of the 415-square-foot sweat
lodge. Rays response: Leave her
alone, shell be dealt with in the next
round.
Bunn, a 43-year-old Texas resi-
dent, provided her wrenching de-
scription of the sweat lodge tragedy
in an interview with Te Associated
Press, the frst public account from a
participant in the Oct. 8 ceremony.
It also marks a signifcant rev-
elation in the criminal investigation
into Ray over the episode because it
portrays him as driving participants
to stay in the lodge despite signs all
around him that the situation had
gone bad. Investigators are consid-
ering bringing charges against the
guru and trying to learn about his
actions that night in a case that has
cast a harsh spotlight on Ray and his
self-help empire.
Howard Bragman, a spokes-
man for Ray, said many people at
the Spiritual Warrior event had
amazing experiences, and noted
that people should not rush to judg-
ment about what occurred during
an ongoing investigation.
According to Bunn, participants
were given short notice before they
were to enter the sweat lodge. As
they readied for it, they removed
their jewelry, placed prayer pouches
flled with nicotine around their
necks and ripped out pages in a
journal they kept detailing what in
life was holding them back.
A fre heating up rocks outside
the lodge consumed journal pages.
Lightly dressed in bathing suits,
shorts and tank tops, they received
a blessing meant to cut away nega-
tive energy before crawling into
the sweat lodge. Ray led the group
inside and sat next to the opening.
A second row formed, their bodies
closest to what would be a pile of
heated rocks.
Participants began to show signs
they were weakening midway
through the ceremony. By the time
people started collapsing, Bunn had
already crawled to a spot near the
opening of the sweat lodge, praying
for the door to stay open as long as
possible between rounds so that she
could breathe in fresh air.

LOS ANGELES Most pet
owners would leap into action
for an injured pet, even if it
meant risking dog breath by
going mouth-to-snout.
Fifty-eight percent of pet own-
ers 63 percent of dog owners
and 53 percent of cat owners
would be at least somewhat like-
ly to perform CPR on their pet in
the event of a medical emergen-
cy, according to an Associated
Press-Petside.com poll.
Tammy Parks, 52, of Amherst,
Mass., has taken a pet first aid
class and wouldnt hesitate to
help her 15-year-old mixed
breed terriers, Lucy and Julia, or
her white fronted Amazon par-
rot Koko.
Its not rocket science. The
mechanics are the same as
humans, said Parks, who was
an American Red Cross first aid
trainer. Size is the biggest dif-
ference.
In general, though, the poll
found few pet owners are pre-
pared to handle pet emergencies.
Just 20 percent of pet owners
have a pet first aid kit with medi-
cal supplies like bandages and
ointment in their home, and 54
percent do not have a fire evacu-
ation plan for their pets.
And the survey revealed fre-
quent reporting of dangerous
practices that can lead to acci-
dents and injuries. For example,
a quarter of pet owners, includ-
ing 30 percent of dog owners
and 22 percent of cat owners,
give their pets bones from table
scraps, at least sometimes.
Sixty-two percent of dog own-
ers and a third of cat owners
let their pets ride in their cars
unrestrained, rather than plac-
ing them in a special pet carrier.
And 11 percent of pet owners
sometimes leave their pets unat-
tended in a car or truck.
Still, most pet owners said
they would go the extra mile to
rescue their pets. Women were
more likely to say they would
perform CPR on their pets than
men, 65 percent to 50 percent,
the poll showed.
Nearly every decision made at
the Parks house is made with the
safety of the animals in mind.
We dont use pesticide on the
lawn. We dont buy food with
pesticide on it. No sugar, no salt,
just natural nuts and fruits. No
Teflon in the house, no smoking,
no air freshen-
ers, no aerosol
products, she
said, explain-
ing that any one
of those things
could kill their
7-year-old bird.

things after her Chihuahua,
Honeychild, ate something that
forced an emergency trip to the
vet.
I make sure she doesnt have
anything she shouldnt have,
Klingman said of the 7-pound,
4-year-old dog.
The poll showed 7 percent
of those polled have pets who
have eaten something poisonous
and 16 percent have pets who
have had allergic reactions to
something.
There were also
threats from pets
themselves: 17 per-
cent reported hav-
ing a pet bitten or
attacked by another
animal, 9 percent
said a pet had bitten
or attacked another
animal and 5 per-
cent said a pet had
bitten or attacked
another person.

WASHINGTON The Midwest
is starting to see a comeback in
manufacturing and technology.
Home sales are rising in parts
of the Northeast. But states like
Florida, Nevada and California,
still suffering from the housing
bust, remain depressed.
The economys tentative recov-
ery is occurring in pockets around
the country, with some states and
cities starting to rebound while
neighboring areas still struggle,
two government reports showed
Wednesday.
They showed improving job
markets in some Midwestern
states, such as Indiana and Ohio.
But other states, such as Rhode
Island, posted new record-high
joblessness.
In the Feds latest survey of busi-
nesses nationwide, all but two of 12
regions showed at least some signs
of improvement. Only the Atlanta
and St. Louis regions reported
weaker economic activity.
The survey found many parts
of the country either stabilized or
improved mod-
estly over the
past six weeks.
The Boston,
Cleveland and
Richmond, Va.,
regions reported
growing home
sales, though the
gains came from
depressed levels.
But the pic-
ture is still far bleaker in places
hit hardest by the collapse of the
housing market. Florida reported
a record-high jobless rate of 11
percent, according to the Labor
Department. Nevadas climbed to
13.3 percent, also a record.
Michigan, home of the battered
American auto industry, claimed
the highest jobless rate in the
country 15.3 percent.
Pickups in housing and manu-
facturing activity are
leading the budding
recovery in most of
the country, accord-
ing to Feds survey.
Economists warn
that the improve-
ments could fizzle,
though, after govern-
ment help is removed.
For example, gains
in the housing mar-
ket could be threatened if a tax
credit for first-time homebuyers is
allowed to expire Nov. 30.
The main story here is the econ-
omy is starting to turn around,
said Robert Dye, senior econo-
mist at PNC Financial Services
Group. This is not a consumer-
led recovery. This is very much a
stimulus-led recovery. And it begs
the question: What happens when
the government supports are with-
drawn?
Factories have been increasing
production as businesses restock
depleted inventories. Part of that
restocking was due to the Cash for
Clunkers program this summer,
which caused a brief burst in car
sales.
By contrast,
the Fed said the
weakest link in the
recovery is com-
mercial real estate,
with vacancies
high across the
country and busi-
nesses unable to
get credit to buy or
build commercial
space.
The nations unemployment
rate climbed to a 26-year high of
9.8 percent in September, and is
expected to top 10 percent this
year. Economists predict it will
rise as high as 10.5 percent by the
middle of next year before slowly
drifting down.
The Labor Department report
said unemployment rose in 23
states last month. While layoffs
have slowed, companies remain
reluctant to hire.
Forty-three states
reported job losses
in September, while
only seven gained
jobs.
The findings of the
Fed survey will fig-
ure into discussions
in early November.
The Fed is expected
to keep interest rates
at record lows into next year to
help foster the recovery.

had four prongs, but now has 1.
Two divers put straps on the
anchor, then small lift bags that
they filled with air, said Mark
Wilde-Ramsing, the director of the
shipwreck project. When the grap-
nel reached the surface, a crane
brought it on the boat.
The grapnel prob-
ably was an anchor
for a smaller boat
that would have been
used to transport
items between ships

Wilde-Ramsing said.
The rest of the

Ramsing said.
Queen Annes Revenge was a
French slave ship that measured
about 100 feet long with three
masts and a crew of 150 to 200.
Blackbeard captured the ship,

aground off Atlantic Beach a year

MAYS LANDING, N.J.
Jurors weighing the fate of three
men accused of setting up a vid-
eotaped sex sting of an Atlantic
City councilman determined that
the camera doesnt lie, convict-
ing each on nearly all charges
Wednesday.
Floyd Tally
and brothers
Ronald and
David Callaway
were found
guilty of con-
spiracy, crimi-
nal coercion
and invasion of
privacy. David
Callaway was
acquitted on
one of two invasion of privacy
counts.
The charges involved the clan-
destine videotaping in November
2006 of Councilman Eugene
Robinson, who was lured to a
motel and received oral sex from
a prostitute hired by the defen-
dants and the mastermind of the
scheme, former Council President
Craig Callaway.
The tape was leaked to the
media in an attempt to get
Robinson, who also is a Baptist
minister, to resign. He refused and
contacted authorities instead.
My religion says I cant
rejoice in anybodys suffering,
even though they had been my
enemies, Robinson said when
informed of the verdicts by The
Associated Press. His health took
a precipitous decline after the
videotape was made public, and
he lives in a nursing home.
Things should be done in
decency, Robinson said. I think
about people who might want to
go into public service who may be
dissuaded from it because of what
happened to me. But justice is
being done, and I applaud that.
Ronald Callaways lawyer,
Bonnie Putterman, said her
defense was based largely on the
premise that the prostitute had
misidentified Ronald Callaway,
who is one of 13 sib-
lings.
They (the jury)
grouped them all
together, she said.
I dont think they
could escape the
fact that they were
all Callaways.
Harry Leszchyn
Jr., David Callaways
attorney, said his cli-
ent was the most peripheral
player in the case.
The jury obviously felt he was
more involved than I believed,
he said, adding Callaway would
appeal the conviction.
All three defendants were
handcuffed and led away by sher-
iff s officers immediately after the
verdict. A judge revoked bail for
Ronald Callaway, 53, and Tally,
39. The judge set bail for 46-year-
old David Callaway at $50,000,
which he was not immediately
able to post.
David Callaway and Tally also
are awaiting trial on an unrelated
voter fraud case in which they are
accused of absentee ballot fraud
on behalf of one of the losing
candidates in Junes Democratic
mayoral primary in Atlantic City.
They are accused of falsifying
ballot applications on behalf of
Councilman Marty Small, who
was the principal opponent of the
incumbant mayor.

The bench for the mens basket-

level with most schools around the
nation. But the depth of the over-
all team could make that theory
hard to prove.
With high school standouts,
returning All-Americans and
improved veterans filling the ros-
ter, some players are going to have
a hard time getting on the court.
Junior Chase Buford knows find-
ing minutes will be a challenge
this year.
Theyre going to be tough to
come by this year and I think
everyone knows that, he said.
Everyone is putting the time and
effort to try to put themselves in
the best position they can.
Coach Bill Self said that at this
point he has a nine man rotation
in mind, and that that number
could shrink to eight depending
on the development of Marcus
Morris skill set both on the inside
and outside.
We may play 10 early just to
figure out what our best team is,
Self said. But Id like to play four
bigs and five guards.

Kick The Kansan in football
Commentary
Column's
remark on
Mangino
unft to print
By STEPHEN MONTEMAyOR
smontemayor@kansan.com
E
rrors in context can relay a
message that is perceived as a
criticism or assumption to par-
ties who dont deserve either.
Im referring to Wednesdays col-
umn in The University Daily Kansan
by Clark Goble entitled Student
reporters kept at a distance.
It was an interesting piece. Goble,
a football writer for The Kansan,
set the scene by describing being
pushed aside by a television reporter
while recording football coach Mark
Manginos postgame remarks.
This then inspires a story from
Montana in which the University
of Montanas football coach Bobby
Hauck continues to refuse giving
interviews to reporters from the
school paper, The Kaimin.
Beginning when the paper had
reported a story about an alleged
assault about a month ago, its report-
ers have been denied comment from
the coach and players. Rather than
address any factual errors or specific
problems with The Kaimins report,
Hauck took to belittling the reporters
publicly when they dared to do their
jobs.
Haucks handling of the situation is
childish and bears mentioning.
Student journalists are finding
themselves in the same realm and
discussion as their professional peers,
especially with the proliferation of
Web media. When the football and
basketball teams engaged in their
September brawls, The Kansans cov-
erage was linked on national sports
aggregator RealClearSports.com.
And it is that series of incidents
that partly necessitates todays col-
umn. As this papers sports editor,
I feel compelled to address how the
final sentence of Wednesdays column
remained intact. The first step of the
editorial process at The Kansan is for
the section editors to review his or
her content, make necessary changes
and pass along comments to the copy
desk where further edits are made.
When I came across the sentence
Hopefully Mangino never crosses
that line in reference to Haucks
shutting out his colleges student
press, I felt it presumptive and unfit
for publication. I recommended that
the columns copy editor pass along
a comment to Goble recommending
he make Kansas coaches and their
handling of last months fight fallout
the center of the column, using the
Montana coach as context.
Goble didnt receive that message,
and no such changes were made. This
column is not being written to place
any blame on Goble as his intentions
were not to create a stir but merely to
state that he hopes Kansas coaches
never resort to Haucks methods of
handling situations.
Mangino and basketball coach Bill
Self deserve praise for being honest
and direct, and for not limiting what
can be asked to players in the after-
math of those fights. Most impor-
tantly, neither coach has ever treated
The Kansan which falls under the
umbrella of media outlets both have
described as making the story big-
ger than it was the same shameful
way Hauck treats his.

Senior running back Jake Sharp cuts inside a block during the frst half against Northern Colorado Sept. 5. Sharp returned to football Saturday at Colorado after an injury kept himfromplaying.
Time on sideline pains Sharp
By JAySON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com

For two Saturdays, senior run-
ning back Jake Sharp would jog
onto the field with Kansas three
other senior captains, moving
around and bumping into team-
mates before walking to midfield
for the games opening coin toss.
And really, they both looked
like just another game day for
Kansas starting running back.
Then kickoff rolled around.
After the pregame ceremonies,
Sharp found himself reduced
to watching the Jayhawks from
the sideline, unable to contrib-
ute because of an undisclosed
injury.
Its something where you
work really, really hard and
you dont ever want to suffer
an injury because every game is
very important, Sharp said. You
know, one step closer to every
game being my last.
Sharp paused for a moment.
I missed it. A lot.
Now, after playing at Colorado
Saturday his first full game
since Sept. 12 hes back.
During his tenure at Kansas,
Sharps size and ability to hold
up in a physically-loaded con-
ference such as the Big 12 have
routinely been debated. But
never has Sharps toughness been
doubted.
With the size and speed of
college athletes, the ability to
play through minor, nagging
injuries has become a reality of
the game.
Sharp has been no different. In
fact, Sharps high school coach at
Salina Central, Marvin Diener,
said Sharp played down the
stretch last season with some
broken ribs and those kinds of
things.
This isnt track, Sharp said.
Youre just not 100 percent.
Theres just no question. But
youre definitely good enough to
play the game of football. Thats
just how it is. Anyone who plays
or has played understands that.
If Sharp could have played if
there was a chance he could have
helped Kansas he insisted he
would have done so.
His teammates agreed.
A guy like Jake, with as com-
petitive as he is, any time he cant
play out there with the team,
he hates it, senior quarterback
Todd Reesing said. I know it
was harder on him than anybody
else having to sit out because
if there was any way he could
have played at all, he would have
done it.
Hes a tough kid. I dont think
he has to prove that to anybody.
Each week after Sharps injury,
coach Mark Mangino appeared
cautiously optimistic that his
starting running back could
return at any time. But he always
bracketed his words by saying
that he didnt want to risk Sharps
health.
There was also a slightly more
strategic side to the situation.
Coach pulled me aside a cou-
ple times and said, You know,
your speeds your thing and we
just have to make sure you have
it, Sharp said. I understood

Running back
returns to game
after recovering
D
ezmon Briscoe might
be the best receiver in
the country.
Still.
Despite the infamous drop.
And the one before it. And
heres why.
Well start with my original
concept. You see, about six
days ago when this column was
conceived it was going to be a
Dezmon Briscoe is the best
wide receiver in the country.
But then well, you saw it. Do
I have to relive it? Im going to
say no and save us the agony.
By the way, I want to clear
this up before I go any further.
Kerry Meier is an absolutely
phenomenal receiver. Hes a pre-
cise route runner, has impecca-
ble timing with his quarterback
and is the proud owner of the
best pair of hands in the Big 12
conference, if not the country.
But hes not Briscoe. You know
it. I know it. Ed Warriner knows
it. Its why Briscoe was the guy
on that fourth and six. Its why
he was the guy on that des-
peration, three seconds left for
a prayer heave by Todd Reesing.
Meier, as much as Kansas fans
(and quarterbacks) love him,
doesnt get his hands above the
entire Colorado defense like
Briscoe did on that last play.
But anyway, as I was wallow-
ing in my post-drop misery, I
checked the box score. Eight
catches for 154 yards and a
touchdown? When the hell did
that happen? How good does a
receiver have to be for an eight
catch 150+ yard performance to
be a disappointment, regardless
of an unfortunately timed case
of the dropsies. (Side note, that
was a hell of a play he made to
even get his mitts on that ball.
Hard to fault him on that one.)
Briscoe, a 6-foot-3 manimal, has
obviously raised his bar to an
absolutely ridiculous level.
Its long been said among
pilots that its not the spin that
kills you, its the lack of a recov-
ery (GOOSE!).
And thats where the might
be comes in.
If I were a gambling man
(oh...wait...) I would bet my
non-existent farm on Dez hav-
ing a monster day this Saturday.
Sure, its the toughest second-
ary he has faced to this point.
But Briscoe, as we learned last
year, is a beast on the big stage.
Kid loves the bright lights.
We witnessed this against the
Sooners last year.
And against Minnesota in the
Insight Bowl. Huge stage. Huge
games.
No coincidences.
But more important, and far
less of a certainty, is Briscoes
ability to overcome the mental
hurdles of failure, though failure
is too strong a word.
We have no idea how hell
rebound. Hes never been THE
guy at Kansas and not come
down with the ball. Hell, when
was the last time he didnt come
down with the ball, period?
Well finally get to see how
he bounces back. Well see the
internal fortitude of this guy
for the first time in, well, ever.
As Briscoe lay on the field with
ecstatic Colorado fans streaming
past him, he looked defeated.
He wearily unsnapped his chin-
strap and covered his face with
his hands. Need a picture of the
agony of defeat? There it is.
Im thinking he returns to
form, not that it ever really left
him.
Hes going big this weekend.
Double digit catches, triple-digit
yards, multiple touchdowns big.
And, no pressure, but he has to.
Briscoe cant afford to be wea-
ried and defeated this weekend.
He cant.
Kansas cant afford it. The
Jayhawks need him.
Hes THE guy.
And if he proves it again,
scratch the might be. He is the
best receiver in the country.
Thursday youTube
sesh
I had to do this one in a show
of solidarity for Briscoe. Its a)
fitting for the above column,
and b) one of the most impres-
sive plays.
So type Dezmon Briscoe into
your YouTube search and watch
the tacklers drop like so many
flies.

NORMAN, Okla. Just when
it seemed as if Heisman Trophy
winner Sam Bradford was ready to
make a decision about his future,
the injured Oklahoma quarterback
decided he needed more time to
think about it.
Bradford called off a news con-
ference scheduled for Wednesday
night. Coach Bob Stoops said
Bradford needed to gather more
information before choosing what
to do about his injured right throw-
ing shoulder.
He just wasnt ready to fully
answer everything thatll want to
be asked and for sure what he
wants to do just yet, until he has
a few more people to visit with,
Stoops said after the Sooners prac-
tice. Thats it. I wont say another
word about it.
Bradford was coming off of one
of the most prolific passing sea-
sons in NCAA history when he
opted to come back for his junior
year instead of entering the NFL
draft this year. He was considered
a top quarterback prospect after
throwing for 4,720 yards and 50
touchdowns last season.
Bradford was initially hurt
just before halftime in the season
opener against BYU and returned
to play one full game before being
re-injured during Oklahomas
second drive in a 16-13 loss to No.
3 Texas on Saturday.
Bradford said after the game that
he wouldnt make a decision about
his long-term plans until after the
season. He said before re-injuring
the shoulder that surgery remained
a treatment option. He was initially
diagnosed with a Grade 3 sprain
of his AC joint, and Stoops said
X-rays and MRIs have shown no
new damage.
Sams whole situation, hell have
something to say when he knows
what his path will be, and that isnt
right now, Stoops said. Im not
the one to answer it. He will. And
I will once he feels hes ready to
and knows for sure what he wants
to do.
Bradfords primary reason for
returning to Oklahoma was to pur-
sue the national championship that
he narrowly missed out on last
season, when the Sooners lost to
Florida in the BCS championship
game. An Oklahoma City native,
Bradford has also spoken about
how Oklahoma football was prac-
tically a pro sport to him as he was
growing up.
I think its extremely difficult
for him, coming back for all the
right reasons, wanting to have an
opportunity to go compete on the
football field, compete for champi-
onships and then having all those
things taken away from you, quar-
terbacks coach Josh Heupel said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. Two years
ago, Danario Alexander beat out
future NFL first-round draft pick
Jeremy Maclin for a starting wide
receiver spot at Missouri. Then he
broke his wrist.
As a senior, and after four opera-
tions for various injuries, the
often-injured Alexander has finally
emerged as a go-to player whod
make Maclin proud.
Alexander had a career-high 180
yards on nine receptions in last
weeks loss at Oklahoma State, with
a 48-yard catch and run that put
the Tigers ahead in the second
quarter, and added catches of 50
and 34 yards.
While sophomore quarterback
Blaine Gabbert has been hobbled
by an ankle injury the last two
games and running back Derrick
Washington has been bottled up
by defenses, Alexander has been a
constant threat.
Danario made a bunch of great
plays, Gabbert said. Defenses are
starting to key on him a little more
but somehow he always gets open.
Alexander has led the team in
receptions in five of six games and
has been especially productive on
the road, averaging nearly 10 catch-
es and more than 160 yards.
Hes already achieved career sin-
gle-season highs in every offensive
category, leading the Tigers with
44 receptions for 627 yards and
is tied for the team lead with five
touchdowns heading into Saturday
nights game against No. 3 Texas.
Hes second in the Big 12 and
ninth in the NCAA in receiving
yards with an average of 104.5
yards.
It might not be fair to compare
him to Maclin, who might be the
best single player at any position
Ive coached in 32 years in college
football, coach Gary Pinkel said.
But Ive said all along that hes a
guy that if hed have been healthy
his whole career, hed be considered
among the top 10 or so receivers in
the country.
Alexander is from Marlin, Texas,
and grew up rooting for Texas and
will be facing the Longhorns for the
second time.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
Alabama coach Nick Saban says
his kickers wont use tape to spot
field goals and extra points.
South Carolina Steve
Spurrier pointed out Tuesday
that Alabamas Leigh Tiffin
used white tape to spot kicks
in last weeks
game. Spurrier
reported it to
the Southeastern
Conference and
said Wednesday
he was told by
the conference
that what Tiffin
did was against
the rules.
Saban says he
didnt know Tiffin was using the
tape and says it isnt worth risk-
ing a 5-yard penalty. However,
he says Tide coaches have found
Tiffin wasnt alone in spotting
the ball.
We certainly dont want our
players to do anything thats ille-
gal, Saban said. It is a 5-yard
penalty if you do anything to
enhance the spot. Weve done
some research on it, and over
half the teams in the league do
something with it.
They put a piece of grass there
or a piece of mud or wherever it
is, so the kicker knows where
the balls going to be spotted.
We even saw verification where
last year South Carolinas kicker
did it.
Spurrier stopped short of
accusing Alabama coaches of
intentionally breaking the rule.
I heard that was not sup-
posed to happen, youre not
supposed to use
anything like that,
Spurrier said. I
guess Alabama
didnt know it was
against the rules.
They said youre
not supposed to
use anything to
spot the ball there.
I dont know if
they knew it was
illegal or legal but they dang
sure did it last week. It looked
funny watching the tape. Maybe
they thought it was permissible.
Maybe the kicker did it on his
own. I dont know.
The NCAA rule states that
no material or device shall be
used to improve or degrade the
playing surface or other condi-
tions and give one player or
team an advantage.
No penalties can be imposed
after the game for an infraction,
SEC spokesman Charles Bloom
said.

WASHINGTON A senator
whose unde-
feated home
state school was
bypassed for the
college football
national champi-
onship last season
urged President
Barack Obama
on Wednesday
to ask the Justice
Department to
investigate the Bowl Championship
Series, citing Obamas own con-
cerns about the way the top team
is crowned in building a case for
action.
Mr. President, as you have
publicly stated on multiple occa-
sions, the BCS system is in dire
need of reform, Sen. Orrin Hatch,
R-Utah, said in a 10-page letter to
Obama calling for an antitrust
probe of the BCS. The Associated
Press obtained a
copy of the letter.
Shortly after his
election last year,
Obama said he was
going to to throw
my weight around a
little bit to nudge
college football
toward a playoff sys-
tem.
Obama and Hatch
are among the many critics of how
the BCS a complex system of
computer rankings and polls that
often draws criticism deter-
mines its national champion.
Hatch, who held a hearing on
the BCS in July, told Obama that a
strong case can be made that the
BCS violates antitrust laws.
Under the BCS system, some
athletic conferences get automatic
bids to participate in top-tier bowl
games while others dont, and the
automatic bid conferences also get
far more of the revenue. Hatchs
home state school, the University
of Utah, is from the Mountain
West Conference, which does not
get an automatic bid. The school
qualified for a
bid last season
but was bypassed
for the national
c hampi ons hi p
despite going
undefeated.
The system has
been designed to
limit the number
of teams from
non-pri vi l eged
conferences that will play in BCS
games, Hatch wrote.
Hatch said the BCS arrange-
ment likely violates the Sherman
Antitrust Act because it consti-
tutes a contract, combination in
the form of trust or otherwise, or
conspiracy, in restraint of trade or
commerce, quoting from the law.
He said the system artificially
limits the number of nationally-
relevant bowl games to five.
The result is
reduced access to
revenues and vis-
ibility which creates
disadvantages to
schools in the non-
privileged confer-
ences.
Hatch is the top
Republican on the
Senate Judiciarys
subcommittee on
antitrust, competition policy and
consumer rights.

that because its about helping
the team. If Im out there run-
ning a 5.0 forty, its probably not
going to help the team.
Sharp, who suffered the inju-
ry during a non-contact drill
in the week leading up to the
Duke game Sept. 19, missed two
games before returning last week
against Colorado.
He managed just 29 yards on
13 carries as Kansas run game
struggled against Colorados
aggressive, swarming defense.
After the game, Mangino said
that the run games deficiencies
reflected the play of the offensive
line, not Sharp.
Sharp, who rushed for 227
yards and three touchdowns
in the seasons first two games,
returns at a time when the
Jayhawks need him most.
With Kansas entering the
toughest part of its schedule,
including Oklahoma on Saturday,
the run game offers a much-
needed balance to Reesing and
the rest of Kansas potent pass
attack.
It needs to be there, Sharp
said. No question its an essen-
tial part to our offense. If the run
game is going good, that opens
up the passing game and things
start rolling. It makes it very dif-
ficult if we cant run the ball to
get our passing game going.
After spending much of his
time rehabbing his injury he
ran in the therapy pools two
or three times a day Sharps
ready to help a Kansas team
coming off its first loss of the
season.
Its fine now. Its good to go,
Sharp said. Im worried about
beating Oklahoma now and get-
ting this team back on track.

ers are not going to be happy with
their playing time, but those are
the players he wants on his team.
I think if you have guys on
your bench that arent restless if
theyre not playing, you prob-
ably recruited the wrong guys,
he said.
Junior guard Conner Teahan
said the team talked about the
second team being competitive in
the Big 12.
Its fun because the practices
are very competitive but its also
frustrating because there are so
many good guys and everybody is
trying to get on the court, Teahan
said.
But because the team is stacked
this year, said sophomore guard
Jordan Juenemann said, the oppor-
tunity for garbage time, when the
outcome of the game is deter-
mined at the end of a blowout
and a coach puts
replacements in,
may increase for
some players.
Were just
helping the guys
out in practice,
challenging them
and making them
better, he said.
Maybe they can
run up the score
and we can get in.
Veteran players with larger roles
last year know they have to step
up their game to keep a spot in the
rotation.
Junior guard Tyrel Reed was
fifth on the team last season with
20.7 minutes played
per game despite only
starting in two games.
But his attitude on
the extra competition
is positive.
Its not a big deal,
Reed said. I love
all my teammates.
We have no jealousy
towards each other.
If one of the younger
players has a chance to start in the
future, Self said, then they should
consider red-shirting to give them
the extra year of eligibility. During
the Jayhawks 2008 championship
season, Morningstar did not play
a minute and it gave him an extra
year Self said benefited the whole
team in the long run.
Despite the tough decisions the
coaches will have to make, there
may be one remedy for disgruntled
players: Winning.
I think once practice starts,
minutes have a way of figuring
themselves out, Self said. Guys
may not be happy if theyre not
playing, but I also think guys are
really happy when you win.

Clemson and Miami 'rivals' reunite
AssociAted Press
CORAL GABLES, Fla. A
few things have changed since
Atlantic Coast Conference rivals
Clemson and Miami last renewed
acquaintances.
That tends to happen when four
years pass between meetings.
When these teams last met on
Sept. 17, 2005, Miami quarterback
Jacory Harris was in 10th grade,
Clemson standout C.J. Spiller was
coming off a 318-yard, four-touch-
down effort for Union County
High in north Florida and get-
ting recruited by the Hurricanes,
Randy Shannon was Miamis
defensive coordinator and Tigers
coach Dabo Swinney was working
with Clemsons wide receivers.
So now, 1,498 days later, the
Tigers (3-3, 2-2 ACC) will visit
the eighth-ranked Hurricanes
(5-1, 2-1) on Saturday afternoon,
a critical game for both teams in
the conference title chase.
Of course, that doesnt mean
either side knows a whole lot
about the other.
I dont know if it can be a
rivalry, said Miami senior left
tackle Jason Fox, wholl start his
team-best 43rd career game. Ive
never played them.
Strange as that sounds for teams
in the same conference, its not
entirely uncommon nowadays.
In the 12-team ACC, all
schools play eight league games.
Five are against divisional rivals,
one against a primary crossover
opponent from the other division
for Miami, its Florida State;
for Clemson, its Georgia Tech
and two rotating nondivisional
opponents.
Similar setups prevail in the
Southeastern Conference, the Big
12, Conference USA ... almost any
league with multiple divisions.
Just last week, SEC foes South
Carolina and Alabama played for
the first time in 1,491 days.
To be honest with you, I
looked at the schedule a while ago
and said, Dang, Clemson, Miami
left guard Orlando Franklin said.
Got to worry about them. Ive
never played them before, but Ive
watched their games and theyve
got a two-deep for D-line and
linebackers. That means they
wont be tired.
All the Tigers and Hurricanes
arent strangers.
Clemson has 16 players from
the talent-rich state of Florida
on its roster, with Miami safety
Randy Phillips having ties to at
least two of them. He and Tigers
wide receiver Jacoby Ford essen-
tially grew up together in Palm
Beach County, and Phillips hosted
Spiller on his recruiting visit to
Coral Gables four years ago.
I know the guys pretty well,
Phillips said. Its going to be a
friendly rivalry when we get out
there. Should be a great game. A
lot of speed, a lot of talent on dis-
play, a lot of great individual play-
ers on display. The better team is
going to win the game, of course.
Like Phillips, Ford is already
eager, too.
Miami is actually where I did
want to play as a kid, Ford said.
I grew up a big Miami fan and
always wanted to go there when I
was smaller. It didnt turn out that
way and I wound up in Clemson,
which I dont regret at all.
Its almost too bad these teams
dont play more,
because the first
two meetings
since Miami
joined the ACC
were classics.
Both need-
ed overtime,
Clemson win-
ning 24-17 at the
Orange Bowl on
Nov. 6, 2004 and
Miami prevailing 36-30 in triple
overtime at Death Valley 10 1/2
months later.
Phillips, linebacker Darryl
Sharpton and defensive end
Eric Moncur are the only three
remaining Miami players who
played in the 2005 game.
For Clemson, the only current
Tiger who appears on the stat
sheet from the matchup four years
ago is running back Rendrick
Taylor, who caught one pass for
minus-4 yards.
When ACC
teams come, you
know its that time,
said Shannon, in his
third year as Miamis
coach. Players
understand, and Ive
told them this, its a
different season now.
Were back in confer-
ence play and weve
got to win confer-
ence games. ... And no matter if
its a couple years ago or now, its
Clemson. Its still a good team.
Miami goes to Clemson in
2010. After that, they wont see
each other again until 2014.

Brown doesn't recall
jarring game tackle
AssociAted Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va.
Jarrett Brown opened his eyes
and saw West Virginia staff
members standing over him at
Mountaineer Field.
The quarterback has no mem-
ory of the jarring tackle that
knocked him unconscious in the
first quarter last Saturday against
Marshall.
I remember everything but
the hit, Brown
said. When
I opened my
eyes, I was
like, what hap-
pened?
It was a
helmet-to-hel-
met blow not
by one, but by
two defensive
backs coming
from different
directions. Brown had to go back
to the game film to see what took
place.
Despite the concussion, Brown
said he feels good enough to play
on Saturday when No. 22 West
Virginia (5-1, 1-0 Big East) meets
Connecticut (4-2, 1-1). He just
doesnt know whether he can
withstand any hits.
Brown hasnt had any lasting
headaches and is listed as day
to day. He took two days off and
resumed taking snaps with the
first team on Tuesday.
Coach Bill Stewarts biggest
concern is whether Brown has
any post-concussion complica-
tions during practices.
They want to monitor my
head and how Im feeling, Brown
said. If I feel anything awkward,
I would tell them. If my helmet
was feeling kind of tight, I would
tell them that. But for
the most part I felt
good.
Brown joined a
growing list of starting
quarterbacks, includ-
ing Floridas Tim
Tebow and Michigans
Tate Forcier, to battle
through concussions
this season.
Forcier played in
the first series the following week
over Delaware State before sit-
ting out the remainder of the
easy win.
Tebow took off a week of
practice after being hurt against
Kentucky on Sept. 26. Floridas
next game was Oct. 10 at LSU
and Tebow received medical
clearance to play hours before it.
I remember
everything but the
hit. I was like, 'what
happpened?'"

for mixing up name
NEW YORK MSNBCs
Contessa Brewer has apolo-
gized for mixing up civil
rights activists Jesse Jack-
son and Al Sharpton. She
made the slip-up Wednes-
day while introducing
Jackson during a segment
on homelessness. After
the introduction, Jackson
stared at the camera from
a studio in Burbank, Calif.,
and said, Im Rev. Jesse
Jackson.
Brewer explained that
her script read that she was
to introduce the Rev. Al
Sharpton.

LOS ANGELES His religious
upbringing might well be as unorth-
odox as the psychedelic-inspired
comic-strip characters that have
made R. Crumb the most famous
underground artist of his time.
Which, come to think of it, may
have made Crumb the perfect artist
for his latest project, an illustrated,
comic-book version of The Book
of Genesis, the work that compris-
es the first 50 chapters of the Bible.
Raised in a secular household
that was headed by a rigidly strict,
ex-Marine father who was actu-
ally a closeted atheist, Crumb was
sent off to Catholic school at age
6 because his father had always
admired the discipline Catholic
nuns were famous for instilling in
their students.
We never got a lot of religion
at home, Crumb says of himself
and his siblings. But we certainly
got the whole indoctrination and
brainwashing in school.
Sixty years later, the creator of
comic book characters like the
R-rated Fritz the Cat and the bizarre
Mr. Natural has finally put that reli-
gious training to good use.
The Book of Genesis Illustrated
by R. Crumb was published last
month, and on Oct. 24 the stun-
ningly detailed, beautifully crafted
black-and-white drawings that
comprise its 201 pages will go on
display at Los Angeles Hammer
Museum. After the exhibition clos-
es in February it will move on to
other cities, including New York
and Portland, Ore., a circumstance
that has the normally circumspect
Crumb shaking his head in dis-
belief.
The Bible! Jesus! Incredible,
Crumb says in a voice filled with
awe as he reflects on the project that
has consumed the last five years of
his life.
Indeed, the project does raise an
obvious question:
Why would the
guy famous for
drawing volup-
tuous women and
nerdy looking,
wel l - endowed
men, who put
the phrase Keep
on Truckin
into the national
vocabulary with
his posters of a big-footed oddball
out for a walk, and who by his
own admission owes much of his
artistic inspiration to his extensive
use of LSD in the 1960s, take on
the Bible?
Its kind of complicated, Crumb
guffaws during a phone interview
from his home in the south of
France.
I dont think Genesis is a good
place to look for spiritual guidance
or moral guidance, he continues.
I dont believe its the word of
God.
At the same time, he continues,
I think the stories are very power-
ful. Im not out to ridicule them or
belittle them.
Although done in
the same, unmistakable
style that Crumb has
brought to such comic
books as Zap, Weirdo
and Dirty Laundry,
Genesis is also sur-
prisingly respectful, as
well as faithfully loyal
to the Bibles original
text.
He could have done something
really satiric but he didnt, says
Ali Subotnick, who is curating the
exhibit. Hes not bastardizing the
stories at all.
Which is not to say Crumb hasnt
added his own unique touch here
and there.
He could have done
something really
satiric but he didnt.

T
he School of Education
recently announced its plans
to switch from a five-year
degree program to a four-year
degree program that would include
a teaching certificate. The Kansas
Department of Education should
approve this plan. It will benefit not
only students in the school, but it
will help Kansas as well.
The proposed plan has many
positive effects including creating
a more efficient degree program
and saving students a fifth year of
tuition. This change would also draw
more students to pursue education
degrees and ultimately increase
the number of qualified teachers
available to the community.
Steven White, chairman of the
department of Curriculum and
Teaching declined to comment
because the plan has not been
finalized.
Currently, students
participate in a full
fifth year of student
teaching beyond their
degree to receive their
teaching certificate.
The proposed plan will eliminate
this mandatory requirement.
From what I understand,
they will still be offering the five-
year plan for people interested in
pursuing their masters, said Ashley
Stickler, Overland Park sophomore
who is currently pursuing a degree
in elementary education. They
are supposedly condensing it and
putting the volunteer work in your
earlier years.
Because the change would
be implemented in 2011, upon
approval, Stickler and other current
students graduating after this date
will be affected. Though the details
havent been set in stone, one thing
is certain, the changeover could
include complications.
Amanda Frederick, Lawrence
senior, said she acknowledged both
positive and negative affects of the
change.
The transition might be a little
shaky, Frederick said. I see it being
a source of some confusion and
frustration.
Frederick is currently enrolled in
the five-year program and is in her
fourth year, meaning the new plan
is not an option for her.
Part of the force behind this
change is the hope of a more efficient
system for degree completion,
according to the schools press
release. This program will produce
more quality teachers
to not only counteract
the statewide demand
for teachers, but the
demand for teachers
in the entire country.
Frederick said this will be the major
benefit to the four-year program.
I think there is definitely more of
a demand. We always turn out high
quality teachers from the School of
Ed., Frederick said.
She said that doing away
with some general education
requirements and focusing more on
individual content areas would be a
benefit to students.
Frederick sees a possible flaw
in the amount of student teaching
that four-year graduates would be
required to complete.
There are some people that just
dont connect with the students very
well, Frederick said. You dont
really find that out until you have
students to connect with. I couldnt
imagine jumping straight from
[classes] into teaching as a career.
Even so, Frederick said she has
faith in the schools readiness to
prepare students.
Having less experience student
teaching will be scary, but most
people will probably be able to
handle it, Frederick said. Im sure
that theyll find ways of preparing
people adequately in that amount
of time.
Focusing on relevant classes and
eliminating unnecessary curriculum
will allow students the opportunity
to gain student teaching experience
and complete the degree in four
years. This is a positive change that
the Department of Education should
support. This plan will best facilitate
the realistic needs of the community
and the University students.

I
ts not a secret that many
college students enjoy a night
out with friends, and that
those nights usually include some
form of beer or liquor. Alcohol
is always something that needs
to be consumed responsibly,
but what if theres something in
your drink you didnt intend to
be there? Something that could
leave you vomiting, confused or
without control of your actions?
Luckily, particularly for
the ladies, there are recent
products that make testing for
any suspicious liquids in your
cocktail easy and convenient.
Date-rape drugs have caused
fear, humiliation and dangerous
situations for many individuals
simply trying to enjoy a night out
on the town. Often, victims arent
even sure if they were drugged or
if they just had a few too many
drinks. Dr. Yvonne Fulbright,
a sexpert for Fox News, said
on her blog that common side
effects of date rape drugs include
black outs, amnesia, nausea,
nightmares, headaches, muscle
pain and even hallucinations.
The good news is that
everyone has the opportunity to
remain out of harms way. There
has been an increased use of
cocktail condoms, drink covers
that protect bar-goers from
unknowingly being drugged,
according to ABC News. Each
cover costs less than ten cents to
make and provides protection for
anyone who momentarily leaves
his or her drink unattended.
Drink coasters at several
North Texas bars are now being
used to test for common date
-rape drugs, according to the
Dallas-Ft. Worth NBC affiliate.
Each coaster has instructions
for the test and colored dots in
the corner. By splashing just a
drop or two of the suspected
drink on the dots customers, and
bartenders immediately know
if the drink is spiked. The dot
on the coaster will change color
if the liquid contains gamma
hydroxybutyrate (better known
as GHB) or ketamine, two
common date-rape drugs.
The coasters are available at
7-Elevens for about 40 cents each,
according to Time magazine.
For ladies who value their
appearances as much as their
safety, the British cosmetics
company 2LoveMyLips has
created a lip gloss that doubles
as a date-rape drug tester. The
lip-gloss contains a pink taper
that can be easily dipped into a
drink to test GHB and ketamine,
according to The Herald Sun.
The product has been
a success in Britain and is
expected to launch in Australia,
the United States and popular
destinations in the Middle East.
The lip-glosses may also soon be
available in vending machines
and bathrooms at bars and
nightclubs.
These new inventions are a
valuable form of protection for
anyone who consumes alcohol,
but being prepared is always
the best way to avoid a date-
rape drug situation. Stick with
your friends, never leave a drink
unattended and if someone buys
you anything, make sure you see
the bartender pour it.
By being aware of your
surroundings you can enjoy an
evening out on the town without
distress. It may not hurt to have
an extra-special coaster with you,
just in case.

Education in need of solutions
sTudenT LiFe
F
or fall break I took a brief
trip back to a world of college
applications, PSAT prep
and worry about the future. Not
intentionally I visited my high
school to see my old teachers, who
I now count as friends. And it
was hard to ignore the theme in
classrooms of juniors and seniors
this time of year.
It reminded me of my own
college search, which was narrow
and simple, partly as a result of
an unlikely Christmas gift: The
Overachievers by Alexandra
Robbins. Its a deep, factual book
which my mom mistook for fiction
that convinced me to come to
the University of Kansas.
I even tried to convince fellow
students to join me, explicating a
part of the book in a column in
my high school paper: In 1999,
after 20 years of research a study
found that in the real world, the
differences between earnings
of a college graduate were more
dependent upon the caliber of the
student rather than the place those
students went.
Despite this, Gov. Mark
Parkinson told the Board of Regents
in August the University should
raise admissions standards and
have an overall goal of an improved
national ranking.
Though I dont believe in the ends
(the rankings, which, according to
Robbins, are adjusted each year to
keep Harvard, Yale and Stanford
on top), the means (admissions)
should be changed.
Nationally, 23 percent of high
school graduates were college-ready,
meaning they were likely to earn a
C or better in college courses,
according to a recent report by
ACT, reported the Tulsa World.
Although college admissions
standards should be raised and
education improved which would
occur just if remedial courses were
removed K-12 curricula must
also be strengthened.
Robbins offers a couple ideas to
start. First, delay the high school
start time, switching it with those of
elementary and middle schools, to
compensate for the naturally later
sleep cycles of teens (approximately
11 p.m. to 7 a.m.). Second,
de-emphasize testing for deeper
learning. Education should be
about truly processing information,
rather than a superficial, temporary
memorization of facts.
The inclusion of a financial
information class and the
establishment of broad, pride-
building projects by and for students
are suggestions that could help
create well-rounded individuals.
The goal should be for high school
education to provide students with
the thinking and organizational
skills needed to not only make
it through life, but to also make
them the kind of involved, voting
citizens that Thomas Jefferson said
were necessary for the American
Experiment to succeed. Worrying
about getting as many Americans
through additional education
should come later.
Perhaps someday Itll all turn
out, just as Michael Bubl sings in
his latest single Havent Met You
Yet. But when it comes to finding
real solutions, we havent yet.
With the emphasis on testing at
both the K-12 and university levels,
we havent even begun to try.

WHATS THE

KANSAS?
BLOG: Green MY GuY
Veggie burgers are
new mystery meat
In your average grocery store,
two kings rein over the meatless
meat freezer: Boca Foods and
Morningstar Farms, each with
a loyal fan base. Though both
boast of meatless burgers,
chicken and breakfast entrees,
the taste and composition of
their food is quite different.
While Ill leave the taste testing
to you, I took a deeper look into
the Boca and Morningstar Web
sites to learn more.
As is with all processed foods,
the ingredients list was a medley
of words I couldnt pronounce
words such as disodium
guanylate, nicotinamide and
thiamin mononitrate. Yet in
choosing processed food, these
mystery ingredients are an
unavoidable part of the package.
Both companies revealed
that the soybeans used in
their products are likely from
genetically engineered soy
plants. However, for consumers
who prefer to stay away from
genetically engineered products,
both companies provide organic
soy products, which do not
contain GE soy.
Then how about all the
processing? Though veggie
burgers provide an alternative to
meat (a source of environmental
problems), are the veggie burgers
themselves eco-friendly?
The answer: Soy-based diets
use half as many environmental
resources as meat-based diets,
according to the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
In this food showdown, the
veggie burgers have triumphed.
Yet figuring out what foods
are healthy, environmentally
friendly and delicious can
still be quite an Omnivores
Dilemma. Do you pick organic
or local? Natural or fresh? Meat
or meatless? Sometimes you just
want to throw in the towel and
hit up Subway.
In figuring out the mystery
behind the mystery meat-less,
Ive realized how easy it is to
search the Internet to find
answers. It doesnt take more
than a few minutes to contact
those companies or talk to those
farmers, ask a few questions and
figure out your food.

Kansas goalkeepers Julie Hanley
and Kat Liebetrau havent just been
battling shots and crosses from
other teams this year theyve
also been competing against each
other to start in every game.
Last weekends games marked
the third time this season that
coach Mark Francis has switched
his starting goalkeeper. Its a result
of the tight competition that
started during preseason between
Hanley, a senior, and Liebetrau, a
redshirt freshman.
I dont think either one of them
at any point has made that spot
purely their own to where the
other hasnt been able to challenge
them, Francis said.
Aside from an injury her junior
year, Hanley has started for the
Jayhawks since halfway through
her freshman year. But it was
Liebetrau who began this season
as keeper. Hanley was recovering
from an illness and an injury from
the summer, so Liebetrau received
the first playing time of her career.
For Liebetrau, it was a moment she
had long looked forward to.
I was really excited, she said.
With not playing at all last year, I
was really anxious to get out there
and play in a game.
With Liebetrau as goalkeeper,
the team started 5-0 in non-con-
ference play. But Hanley earned
the spot back in the third week
of the season and
kept it for the next
eight games, when
the team went
3-4-1 entering Big
12 play.
She beat me
out fair and square
in the preseason,
Hanley said. I
think I slowly
started playing the
way I was able to.
For the past two weeks, how-
ever, the two have shared equal
playing time as Liebetrau started
against Texas Tech and Colorado,
and Hanley played most recently at
Oklahoma and Baylor. Francis said
Hanley would continue to start
this Friday against Nebraska.
Its really been week-to-week,
he said. One of them will have a
really good week in training, and
the other one maybe not as good.
With the spot up for grabs
each weekend, both goalkeepers
have been working extra every
day before practice. For Liebetrau
the focus has been improving her
foot skills and her ability to read
games; Hanley has concentrated
on improving every area of her
play.
Its just a battle,
Liebetrau said. I
love it. Its a good
thing; it pushes both
of us to work hard.
But the inconsis-
tency each week has
taken a bit of a toll
on the players. Its
certainly an adjust-
ment from last year,
when Hanley started
all but one game for the Jayhawks.
If youre playing one week and
not the next, from that aspect it
can be a little frustrating and dif-
ficult, Hanley said.
The competition stays on the
field for Hanley and Liebetrau,
though. Liebetrau said they
have remained good friends and
encouraged each other.
As for the rest of the team, the
goalkeeper swapping hasnt had a
huge effect, senior Estelle Johnson
said.
We have confidence in both of
them, she said. We do our part
and expect them to do theirs.

Dodgeball is a growing intra-
mural sport offered by KU recre-
ation services that attracts many
students looking for a way to have
fun. Intramural dodgeball begins
its season this week. Teams held
meetings Tuesday and games begin
Sunday.
Kyle Kimura, Overland Park
junior, said he and his team, the
Febreezers, definitely play dodgeball
just for fun.
But Im sure well get competi-
tive once the season gets going,
Kimura said.
For some people, playing dodge-
ball is a way to bring back nostalgic
feelings about playing the games as
kids. Jobie Buehler, Bonner Springs
junior, said dodgeball was one of his
favorite sports growing up.
You dont really get to play it in
high school or anything, so its just a
fun opportunity to play it in college.
It just takes you back, Buehler said.
Although Buehler plays to bring
him back to his childhood days, he
also plays for a little competition.
Of course you want to win,
Buehler said. We play to win but
the fun part is still there too. We
dont get mad at
each other. We
always go for
the gold. You
dont play to
lose, Buehler
said.
For Emily
Sis, Kansas City,
Kan., sopho-
more, play-
ing dodgeball
is about including everyone who
wants to play. Sis plays in the all-
girls division.
Its just something that I feel
like a lot more of the girls can do
because you dont have to be really
fast or anything, Sis said. It just
really reminds me of P.E. in middle
school. So I just thought it would be
something really fun that everyone
could participate in.
Mike Ratkovitch, Milwaukee
senior, played dodgeball intramu-
rals last fall. Although he said it
was fun, he also said it was com-
petitive.
Its such a quick game and there
are so many things going on and
there is only one ref so
its hard for them to keep
track of whats going on,
Ratcovitch said. There
are a lot of questionable
plays and you kind of
have to make your own
calls. If one team makes
a bad call, the other team
can get pretty heated.
Whether dodgeball is
played for fun, competi-
tion, or to bring back middle school
memories, it is definitely an alterna-
tive to the commonly played intra-
mural sports.

ST. LOUIS Woes at wide
receiver prompted the St. Louis
Rams to trade starting linebacker
Will Witherspoon for an Eagles
backup with no career receptions.
That puts the heat on Donnie
Avery, wholl try to shake off a
bruised hip and get back on the
field this week against the unbeat-
en Colts.
The second-year wide receiver
didnt practice Wednesday while
restricted to off-field drills, but
expects to be ready. Two days ear-
lier, an MRI exam that revealed
a bruise instead of a stress frac-
ture provided a measure of relief
for a player who toughed out a
solid rookie season with a similar
injury.
Its just a little hump in the
road, Avery said. Im going to
get over it, get out there and make
plays. The best receivers, youre
always going to have obstacles.
Avery said hes been experienc-
ing sharp pain when he tries to
stretch out on a route but expects
daily massages to reduce that.
Whether or not Avery plays, the
winless Rams (0-6) will go with
an inexperienced crew at wide
receiver against the Colts (5-0).
Keenan Burton (17 catches) was a
fourth-round pick last year, Danny
Amendola (nine catches, 24-yard
kickoff return average) has been
with St. Louis a month after get-
ting signed off the Eagles practice
squad and Tim Carter (one catch)
was re-signed last week after being
among the final cuts before the
season opener.
Brandon Gibson, acquired
from the Eagles for Witherspoon
and a fifth-round draft pick next
season, fits right in. He holds
career records at Washington State
for receiving yards (2,756) and
touchdowns (17) but lasted until
the sixth round of this years draft
after a dropoff his senior season
in college.
Hes definitely got some abil-
ity, quarterback Marc Bulger said.
Hes still a rookie, too, so theres
a huge learning curve hes going
through right now. Hopefully he
can help us later in the year.
Buried deep on the Eagles ros-
ter, he played in Week 3. Given
Philadelphia and St. Louis run
similar offenses, theres a chance
he could dress on Sunday.
Bulger insists the self-inflicted
position shortage has not been a
frustration for him, even though
hes directing an offense that aver-
ages an NFL-low nine points per
game.

I dont think either
one of them at any

own.

While being recruited by
several college programs, Bradley
McDougald sat down with his
high school coach and came to a
realization.
His coach noticed that
McDougald, 6-foot-2, wasnt getting
any taller. He also saw similarly sized
players, namely Malcolm Jenkins
from Ohio State, being drafted to
play safety in the NFL. His coach
said that if he wanted to play in the
league in the future, it was probably
going be at defensive back.
So McDougald saw a change from
wide receiver to defensive back com-
ing sometime in his career, but he
didnt necessarily think it would be
his freshman year. Originally com-
mitted to Ohio State, McDougald
rescinded his commitment primari-
ly because coach Jim Tressel wanted
him to play defense only.
He came to Kansas to play
receiver.
I felt if I was going to make a big
impact on the team it was going to
be on the offensive side of the ball,
McDougald said. I felt that my
body was physically ready to be an
offensive player.
But coach Mark Mangino called
McDougald into his office a few
weeks ago and asked him what he
thought about a moderate change.
He said the offense was going
well and he didnt want to take any-
thing from me from the offensive
side of the ball, but he wanted to
maybe add on a little bit of defense
and see how that worked out for
me, McDougald said.
McDougald took a couple sec-
onds to think about it, but then
jumped at the opportunity to play
both ways like for-
mer Kansas play-
ers Aqib Talib and
Charles Gordon.
Mc D o u g a l d
played three
snaps on defense
in Saturdays loss
to Colorado, and
expects to play
more as the season
goes on.
His practice time is now spent 75
percent on offense and 25 percent
on defense, but each practice brings
more defensive work. McDougald
still considers himself an offensive
player for now. For the season,
McDougald has caught 21 passes
for 226 yards.
Mangino said the move comes
out of necessity, a stopgap for a
leaky defensive secondary. He also
praised McDougalds skill sets for
both sides of the ball.
We have tried to put our most
athletic guys and our guys that can
play a physical-style ball on defense,
as well as trying to recruit to that,
Mangino said. Everybody is throw-
ing the ball around and spreading
the ball around, so I dont care who
you have on defense. In the Big
12, there are just not a lot of low-
scoring games anymore because the
style that is being played is utilizing
the entire field.
McDougald has tried a couple
defensive positions already, but he
said he thought he figured in best
at safety.
He also said he learned some
things playing receiv-
er that would help on
defense, including
the realization that
the receiver would
generally try to go
the opposite way the
defensive back was
playing. If the defend-
er is playing inside,
the receiver will shoot
outside.
McDougald studies extra film
with defensive coordinator Clint
Bowen to help speed up the process.
Bowen is trying to keep the defense
as simple as possible at first. He told
McDougald that he would get more
defensive reps as he picked up the
defensive schemes better.
Mangino said learning the
nuances of a new position could be
difficult.
What you need is a young guy
who is willing to do it, willing to
understand the frustrations and dis-
appointment early on, but I think
if you have kids who are mentally
tough, you can do it, Mangino said.
McDougald said playing both
ways would be exciting but that it
might be a little overwhelming at
first.
I have to make sure Im on top
of everything because mistakes are
very costly in Division I and now
that were in conference play, theyre
going to become even more costly,
so I just have to make sure I know
what Im doing, McDougald said.

Kansas sweeps Texas before taking on Tigers
BY ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
Te Kansas volleyball team is now
on its frst Big 12 Conference win-
ning streak of the year. Kansas swept
Texas Tech 3-0 (25-17, 25-17, 25-20)
Wednesday and is now 11-9 (4-6).
Texas Tech falls to 2-16 (0-9), con-
tinuing to struggle in Big 12 play.
Te win doubles the number of
Big 12 road victories Kansas had in
2008 when it posted a 1-9 record on
the road in the Big 12.
Te game against Texas Tech
could have been easy to overlook
coming of a big
win against Kan-
sas State. And with
Missouri in the
near future, Kan-
sas stayed focus on
Texas Tech, coach
Ray Bechard said.
Te team did
what it needed to
do to get the win
and took care of
business, junior outside hitter Kar-
ina Garlington said.
It was another good road win to
get under our belt, Garlington said.
Were pretty pleased with how we
played.
Kansas has had several bad
starts at the beginning of frst sets
this season, and Texas Tech was no
exception. Kansas realized that the
team needed to step up and play
together if it wanted to come back,
sophomore outside hitter Allison
Mayfeld said.
Tat was kind of encouraging to
know that even though we got down
in the beginning, we found a way to
fght back and get right back in it,
Mayfeld said.
Kansas held Texas
Tech to an impressive
.050 hitting percent-
age, which Bechard
attributed to a good
defensive game plan.
Junior libero Me-
lissa Manda had a
team high 19 digs and
senior defensive spe-
cialist Melissa Grieb
was right behind with 14 dsigs. On
the ofensive side Mayfeld had a
team high 15 kills.
Kansas started slow in frst set,
falling behind 2-8. Te Jayhawks
then scored eight of the next 10
points to tie the score. Kansas went
on a few more small runs and de-
feated Texas Tech 25-17.
Kansas started by scoring the
frst fve points in second set. Kan-
sas had another fve-point run later
that helped propel Kansas to a 25-17
victory.
Texas Tech stayed competitive
for most of the third set, keeping
the score close. A strong push late
helped Kansas win the set 25-20.
Kansas will start a three-game
home stand this weekend when the
team continues the Border Show-
down with Missouri.

PHILADELPHIA Powered
by Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth
and all those other big bats, the
Philadelphia Phillies are headed
back to the World Series.
Werth hit two home runs,
Shane Victorino and Pedro Feliz
also connected and the defend-
ing champions beat the Los
Angeles Dodgers 10-4 in Game
5 on Wednesday night to win
their second straight NL pen-
nant.
Brad Lidge closed it out
and the Phillies became the
first team to reach consecutive
World Series since the New York
Yankees in 2000-01.
Now, Jimmy Rollins and crew
wait for their next opponent.
Theyll go for their third World
Series title beginning next
Wednesday night at New York
or Los Angeles. The Yankees
lead the Angels 3-1 in the ALCS,
which resumes Thursday night
at Angel Stadium.
Philadelphia overcame anoth-
er shaky outing by 2008 NLCS
and World Series MVP Cole
Hamels.
Meanwhile, slugger Manny
Ramirez, manager Joe Torre and
the rest of the Dodgers go home
after leading the NL with 95
wins in the regular season and
sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals
in the division series.
Los Angeles closed to 9-4 in
the eighth, but Ryan Madson
escaped a bases-loaded jam
by striking out Russell Martin
and retiring Casey Blake on a
grounder to shortstop.
After beating Tampa Bay
in last years World Series, the
Phillies are trying to become the
first repeat champions from the
NL since the Cincinnati Reds
in 1975-76. The Yankees were
the last team to win consecutive
titles when they captured three
in a row from 1998-2000.
Andre Ethier, James Loney
and pinch-hitter Orlando
Hudson hit solo homers for the
Dodgers, who also lost to the
Phillies in five games in last
years NLCS.
Five pitchers tossed 4 2-3
strong innings in relief of an
ineffective Hamels, who hasnt
been the dominant ace he was
last postseason.

ANAHEIM, Calif. Alex
Rodriguez limited the celebration
of his latest playoff homer to a
brisk trot and a few high-fives. CC
Sabathia barely even pumped a fist
while mowing down the Angels for
eight innings.
Even while they shined at a piv-
otal point in the AL championship
series, the slugger and the work-
horse starter seemed determined to
stick to business.
Although none of the Yankees
26 World Series championships
included these two stars, their no-
nonsense excellence in a 10-1 vic-
tory on Tuesday night put New
York one win from routing the Los
Angeles Angels and playing for
another title.
We just need to close it out,
Sabathia said simply. Its that time.
Rodriguez homered in the third
straight game of his outstanding
postseason, Sabathia pitched five-
hit ball on three days rest, and
the Yankees took a 3-1 lead in the
best-of-seven ALCS with superstars
living up to their big contracts.
Johnny Damon added a late two-
run homer for the Yankees, who
could sew up their first trip to the
World Series in six years with a win
in Game 5 at Angel Stadium. New
Yorks A.J. Burnett faces Angels ace
John Lackey.
Rodriguez had three hits and
scored three runs, while Melky
Cabrera drove in four for the
Yankees, who built a commanding
cushion in this once-wild series by
draining the drama from it.
One day after
the Angels handed
New York its first
playoff loss in an
extra-inning thrill-
er, the Yankees put
together two early
rallies before piling
on five runs late
all backed by Sabathias
steady work in his second win of
the series.
This teams good. We have great
players, Hall of Fame players, said
Sabathia, who has won three of
the Yankees seven playoff games.
Weve got all the confidence in the
world.
Bernie Williams holds the New
York record with
six homers in 1996,
but that mark seems
ripe to be toppled by
A-Rod in the first
phenomenal postsea-
son for a superstar
who mostly sputtered
in October until now.
Weve still got a
little ways to go, but Ive been feel-
ing good, Sabathia said. AssociAted Press

Pujols plans to return to
st. Louis for rehabilitation
ST. LOUIS St. Louis Cardinals
star Albert Pujols underwent
arthroscopic surgery on his right
elbow Wednesday, with doctors
removing bone chips and trim-
ming bone spurs. He is expected
to make a full recovery in time for
next season.
Dr. James Andrews, who per-
formed the operation in Birming-
ham, Ala., said that Pujols would
not require ligament reconstruc-
tion. Pujols has been playing with
a partially torn ligament since
2003, and reconstructive surgery
would have sidelined him the frst
few months of next season.
Pujols, 29, would begin reha-
bilitation next week in St. Louis
and is expected to fully recover,
the team said in a prepared state-
ment. No timetable for his return
has been set.
Pujols has had surgery the past
two ofseasons. Last season, he
underwent an outpatient pro-
cedure to relieve nerve irritation
that led to numbness, tingling
in his ring fnger and pinkie,
weakness in his grip and pain
along the inside of the forearm.
That procedure was done by Dr.
George Paletta, the team physi-
cian.
Pujols led the majors with 47
homers this past season while
batting .327 with 135 RBIs. He
didnt homer in his fnal 89 at-
bats after Sept. 9, a drought that
manager Tony La Russa attributed
to opponents pitching.
This teams good. We
have great players,
Hall of Fame players.
