District court judge Michael Malone decided at a preliminary hearing Wednesday that Douglas County prosecutors presented sufficient evidence for a University of Kansas student to stand trial for allegedly raping a McCollum Hall resident. Arrin Bernard, an 18-year-old KU student reiterated a plea of not guilty Wednesday to one count of forcing sexual intercourse with a non-consenting person. Bernard will now stand trial March 26.

around 440 million years ago. Melott said when the extinction occurred, the earth was primarily underwater. He theorizes a gamma ray burst, a concentrated beam of energy expelled from the collapse of a massive spinning star, hit the earth and destroyed significant parts of the atmosphere. He said the burst destroyed a third of the ozone in the atmosphere, which greatly increased the amount of ultra violet light. This increase in light would killed animals who lived in very shallow water, destroying about eighty percent of planetary life.

A large number of people who have either no insurance or are under-insured are people who do have jobs, but work for small businesses, Wilbur said. Traditionally, small businesses have had more hoops to jump through with the IRS, he said, and often they could not offer insurance to their employees. Its kind of the 800-pound gorilla in the room, Wilbur said. I would like to make it easier to obtain coverage. A health savings account would be the ideal resolution, he said. Similar to a 401k, employees would regularly deposit money in the account for use later in case of emergencies. Similar to a 401k, the account could also carry over from job to job. This would be especially helpful for people between jobs, Wilbur said. kansan staff writer Mark vierthaler can be contacted at mvierthaler@kansan.com. Edited by Erin Wiley

OPINION
the chairmanships of every committee. The media has compounded this problem by stressing the competitive angle of every election story. Even their imagery focuses on the combative side of politics: battleground states, horse race, and voter mobilization. This in turn perpetuates the dichotomous thinking that has enveloped policy and politics. One candidate is prolife, the other is pro-choice; one supports free trade, the other is a market protectionist; one supports the war, the other questions its continuation. This presents a great danger for voters, and in particular young voters, who are too young to remember the days when parties worked together to further the goals of the American people. We have become so acclimated to the climate of competition that we can think of elections in no other terms. Candidates capitalize on this by presenting every choice as black vs. white, right vs. wrong. We are told that our position on just one social issue is justification enough for a vote. Lost in this kind of thinking is the basic knowledge that public officials are not vote-casting automatons who are there to work merely on one issue. While one social or fiscal issue may be of the utmost importance to your values, it is important to remember that your candidate of choice will be casting a number of votes on a variety of issues. Supporting a candidate based on one issue means that you are, by default, endorsing that candidates entire platform, even the parts with which you may disagree. This Election Day, take care to evaluate the full slate of a candidates positions before casting a vote. Try not to inflate the importance of one issue to the exclusion of all other considerations. Public officials are organic creatures who work on a wide range of policy matters, and it is important to know their positions before voting. Dont get caught up in the medias hypercompetitive atmosphere pick the candidates who you genuinely believe will be the best leaders for our government. McKay Stangler for the editorial board.

already would have. Removing WalMart from a community does nothing to benefit Wal-Mart employees it just restricts their freedom to work where they choose, and it takes away their best option for income. In recent weeks, Wal-Mart has made news with the expansion of its $4 prescription drug plan to Kansas stores. The plan lowers the cost of many prescription drugs to even less than the co-pays of most insured Americans. Nearly everyone will benefit from this plan, but no group will benefit as much as the uninsured (including Wal-Marts employees); many of these drugs cost up to $50. Yet the same people who complain about the health care burden on uninsured Americans still want to eliminate Wal-Mart. Lawrence is now fighting about whether or not to allow Wal-Mart to build another store. If Wal-Mart does open the store, it will offer low prices and jobs to another corner of Lawrence. If one Wal-Mart really is enough for Lawrence, as critics contend, then sales will lag and WalMart will close the store on its own. Otherwise, free people who benefit from Wal-Marts presence will keep the store in business. Americans continue to work and shop at Wal-Mart because they freely choose to do so. Arrogant critics want to take away that choice. As passionately as we fight to keep our library records away from the government, we should fight for the freedom to shop and work where we please.

Doctors believe that these shocks trigger the release of a satiety chemical, tricking your body into thinking it is full. Its like electro-shock therapy for your stomach. Now you wont feel the need to consume large amounts of fat and calories, not to mention protein, vitamins or minerals. Hell, you probably wont want to eat anything ever again. So, at the end of the day, when you look at yourself in the mirror of the gas station bathroom where you have been living because you spent all of your money and couldnt pay the rent, you can tell yourself as you look at your scar-covered, pale and wasted-away body, that at least you are no longer a fatty.

Tamara Daniels, left, and and Kim Pallen run in Central Park in New York, Wednesday. After watching her mother finish her first half marathon shortly after undergoing radiation for breast cancer. Daniels is one of many who are bringing back the popularity of long-distance running.
By J.W. eLpHINsToNe
assoCIaTed press
It wasnt until her mother finished her first half marathon shortly after undergoing radiation for breast cancer that Tamara Daniels found the motivation to run a marathon. Ive never thought of myself as a long distance runner. But she inspired me to do it, said the 26year-old assistant district attorney after a 10-mile run in New Yorks Central Park. This past summer, Daniels, an avid runner of smaller distances, signed up for a running class sponsored by the New York Road Runners Club Inc. with fellow jogger Kim Pallen, 23. The two met while running a 5K corporate challenge Pallen was an intern at Daniels office. They are now almost halfway into training for the ING Miami Marathon in January, the first marathon for both. After the event, the two want to celebrate with a cruise out of Miami. Runners like Daniels, her mother and Pallen are fueling a second major running boom. The first boom occurred in the 1970s after American Frank Shorters gold medal in the 1972 Olympic marathon inspired Americans off their feet to attempt the 26.2-mile race. Now, more runners are lacing up their sneakers at the starting lines of longer races. Cities and
retailers hope to benefit from the renewed interest by turning local marathons into running festivals to attract tourist dollars and show off their communities. The Road Running Information Center reported that half marathon finishers rose 7 percent in 2004 from the previous year and marathon finishers followed with a 6 percent gain. Well-known races like the Chicago and New York City Marathons have capped their registrations to avoid overflow. The New York City Marathon expects 37,000 runners to participate in this years race Nov. 5. Participants in second tier races in Miami, Portland and Detroit have also skyrocketed as more runners are shut out of big time races and new faces enter the field. More cities are jumping in the race. The number of marathons nationwide has grown steadily in the last five years, according to MarathonGuide.com., from 272 events in 2001 to 359 scheduled marathons for 2006. Most marathons are started by local running clubs with the economic and logistical support from the host cities. But in some cases, cities initiate the formation of their own marathons and bring in outside event management companies to organize the event and find sponsors.

didnt go far to find a new meet director for the Kansas Relays. Miley Donley, the track and field horizontal jump and multi-event coach, was named director Wednesday. It is very exciting for me, Donley said. I have been coaching for 24 years in Division I and this is definitely a career change for me. I have been involved in putting on track and field meets throughout my career, but to put on the Kansas Relays is a tremendous honor. I think there are a lot of great times ahead in putting this event on. Donley has been with Kansas for six years in his current position. He will remain with the track and field team until a replacement is found.

Ivana Catic will return as Kansas leading scorer after the loss of senior Crystal Kemp. team in scoring during the past four years and in rebounds during the past two. The absences of sophomores Sophronia Sallard and Jen Orgas may also affect the team. Sallard transferred to Pittsburgh and Orgas is taking the year off for personal reasons. I feel that weve got some kids who will ease the stress, said Henrickson. It gives the younger kids a chance to play even more. The returning players have to make the adjustments quickly. If not, Henrickson said she didnt fear starting three or four freshmen. Ive got some upperclassmen who are dead set on not letting it happen, but theres great competition for it, said Henrickson. kansan sportswriter luke Morris can be contacted at lmorris@ kansan.com.

New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs is averaging 5.1 yards per carry this season. He is expected to take over as the starting running back next year after Tiki Barber retires, and with more carries he could be a valuable fantasy football player. records will be shattered. Whats more important than numbers is Jacobs style. When describing it, one word comes to mind: fury. Jacobs runs as if the entire female cast of Laguna Beach is waiting for him in the end zone. Id compare him to a mix of Christian Okoye, Larry Johnson, and Boobie Miles from Friday Night Lights the movie, not the TV show. The man is so ruthless, he actually fought kicker David Akers on the sidelines of the Giants game against the Eagles in week two. Thats like getting in a wrestling match with an eight year old. His relentless style will have opposing linebackers wetting beds for years to come. While images of Brandon Jacobs will haunt the dreams of opposing defensive coordinators next year, theyll make fantasy owners forget about this years first round pick of Edgerrin James or Cadillac Williams. Jacobs is the perfect fantasy running back. Hes fast enough to be effective in the open field, giving him big-play potential. And hes big enough, at 264 pounds, to get all those elusive goal-line carries. My old roommate Dave and I
2) owen Daniels, tight enD, houston texans. No one seems to know where this guy came from (Wisconsin), but his five touchdowns in seven games make him valuable to fantasy owners. 3) seattle Defense. Even though Seattles defense isnt that good although Lofa Tatupu is already becoming a superstar in just his second year theyre playing Oakland, which features Andrew Walter and Justin Fargas. Id start Hoover High Schools defense against Oakland. Evan Hengel is an Overland Park senior in finance. Edited by Travis Robinett

Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer runs the ball in the first half of the game Saturday in Manhattan, Kan. Meyer will have to carry the Cyclones on Saturday against Kansas, as several players are out with injury, including star running back Stevie Hicks. Headed into Saturdays game against Kansas, Iowa State is down several key players. In Wednesdays Iowa State Daily, Grant Wall gave a rundown of the current injuries. Injuries keep mounting for the ISU football team. Senior running back Stevie Hicks sat out Iowa States game at Kansas State with a knee injury, which put the remainder of his final season in jeopardy. Hicks had his knee scoped Tuesday and will not play against Kansas on Saturday. He missed three complete games last season and parts of three other games with various leg injuries. He is Iowa States leading rusher this season. Hicks gained 523 yards in the Cyclones first eight games. Jason Scales will start for the Cyclones in place of Hicks. Scales, a sophomore from West Des Moines Valley, got his first career start against Kansas State and rushed for 67 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown. He missed the second half of the Kansas State game with an ankle injury but will be ready to play against Kansas. Jason should be ready to practice, said coach Dan McCarney at a press conference on Monday. If Scales can spend time on the practice field, he should be available come game time. Freshman Josh Johnson also saw time at running back, gaining 15 yards on seven carries against the Wildcats. Receiver Jon Davis is recovering from a collapsed lung suffered near the end of the second quarter of last Saturdays game. It was very, very serious and thankfully hes doing fine now, McCarney said. The injury could sideline Davis for the remainder of his senior season, although there is a chance he could return for the season-ending game against Missouri. Fellow receiver Austin Flynn said Davis has remained upbeat despite the injury, but the thought of never slipping on the cardinal and gold again has been hard for Davis. He just knows that it could be the end of his career, and thats hard to swallow, Flynn said. Besides injuries, viruses have had a large effect on the team. Junior receiver Todd Blythe missed the Kansas State game with a virus and is questionable for the next game. Edited by Derek Korte

The Oklahoma State football team has improved from last season. The Cowboys have beat teams like Kansas and Nebraska and lost to Texas A&M by one point. The team has games left against Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech and Oklahoma and needs one win to become bowl eligible. Two weeks after a victory against Kansas, Oklahoma State has shed its reputation as a perennial Big 12 Conference loser. In Wednesdays Daily OCollegian, Jason Lemon wrote that this years Cowboys team is likely going to a bowl. After the 41-29 comeback victory the Cowboys pulled against Nebraska, most would agree the question Is this the same team from last year? has been answered with a no. This team is a lot better than last years team. Some Cowboy football players said it didnt take a victory over Nebraska for them to find that out. We knew, senior defensive end Victor DeGrate said. Its the people that werent in the locker room that didnt know. Sophomore quarterback Bobby Reid said he agreed. We knew coming into camp that this wasnt the same team as last year, Reid said. This team from this season can beat the team from last season any day. Theres no comparison. Just like last season, the Cowboys are still questionable at this point, but a look beneath the wins and losses, the question Is this the same team from last year? could still be answered with a no. When we lost those games people said were the same team from last year, but Texas A&M beat us 62-23 and this year they beat us by one, senior wide receiver DJuan Woods said. If people dont look at it has been the biggest question the little things they dont know. mark this season. The main reason for the Against Houston, the offense Cowboys improvement this season gave OSU plenty of opportunities is Reids play. to win the game, but the defense Last season, Reid never got set- could not handle Kolbs passing and tled at the quarterback position. running attack.

Guard Kirk Hinrich agreed to a five-year contract extension believed to be worth $47.5 million with the Chicago Bulls, and forward Nick Collison signed a multiyear agreement with the Seattle SuperSonics, but the amount was not disclosed.
New York Jets running back Curtis Martins season ended Wednesday because of a lingering knee injury, but the New York Jets hope the star running back will play again. The bone-on-bone condition in his right knee could jeopardize his future career. posure throughout the nearly halfhour news conference. He referred to his career in the past tense a few times, and his outlook on playing again was far from promising. Martin also thanked the team, the fans and even the media in a sign of closure. To think that a guy might not be able to play again is devastating, said Derrick Blaylock, who was signed last year to back up Martin. Aside from football, this is a guys future. If hes not going to be able to play, that means a lot. Martin spoke with coach Eric Mangini on Tuesday night, and said he didnt think hed be ready to practice next week. I sat in Erics office and I said, `Eric, you know what? I just need one last conversation with the doctors. I said, `I even know. I know what theyre going to say and I know what the outcome is, but for some reason I just wanted that last conversation. Martin, who said hes in game shape and at his playing weight, never got that final conversation, instead talking with general manager Mike Tannenbaum and deciding Wednesday was the day to end months of speculation.
FORT WORTH, Texas There was a 13-car wreck in the first turn on the first lap of the first race. And the transition onto the frontstretch was tight and treacherous. NASCAR drivers hated Texas Motor Speedway. After that inaugural Cup race in 1997, Rusty Wallace said the new 1 1/2-mile track would need a total reconstruction to get it right. More problems followed when NASCAR returned the next year. Qualifying had to be postponed because of water seeping through that first turn on a sunny day. Frustrating doesnt say it strong enough, TMS president Eddie Gossage said. It was just so disgusting to go through those early years. Much has changed since the problematic start mainly, the perceptions that drivers have about the track. Texas wraps up its 10th season of racing this weekend, and now is considered by many to be one of NASCARs best venues. Texas is a great race track, said Matt Kenseth, the points leader with three races left in NASCARs Chase for the Nextel Cup. It wasnt exactly what it needed to be when we started going there, Kevin Harvick said. They did whatever it took to make the race track right. A $4 million restructuring after the 1998 race included modifications of the entrances and exits of the turns and a new drainage system. The track was repaved again in 2001, and the highbanked quadoval has seasoned with plenty of racing since. Drivers and their sponsors like more than the fast track. They love the big money and big crowds in Texas, where nearly 200,000 people have attended every Cup race even 185,000 on a Monday makeup after a rainout in 2002.
time they square off will be as Ryder Cup captains in two years at Valhalla. Azinger, a former PGA champion and cancer survivor who played in four Ryder Cups without losing a singles match, has been selected the next American captain, according to two people with knowledge of the appointment. They did not want to be identified because the PGA of America has not announced its selection, which could come as early as next week. Azinger did not immediately return a phone call. He will be in charge of a U.S. team that has lost three straight times to Europe, including record margins (18 1/2-9 1/2) the last two matches. Last month in Ireland, Europe became the first team to win all five sessions of the matches. The PGA of America had talked to Azinger about being captain for the 04 Ryder Cup a captaincy that would have gone to his close friend, Payne Stewart, who died in a plane crash in 1999 but he declined.

PALM BEACH, Fla. Donald Trumps display of patriotism is apparently too flamboyant for this chic oceanside town. Palm Beach officials cited Trump for hoisting a large American flag atop an 80-foot pole at his lavish Mar-a-Lago estate and club.

Town officials said the real estate mogul has violated zoning codes with a flagpole taller than 42 feet and for erecting it without a building permit and permission from the landmarks board. Trump has until Nov. 27 to apply for approvals or face a Dec. 21 code enforcement hearing that could result in $250-a-day fines. You dont need a permit to put up the American flag, Trump said
Tuesday. The day you need a permit to put up the American flag, that will be a sad day for this country. Trump responded in a letter last week saying that anyone who objects should not, in my opinion, hold a public office of any kind at least not in this country.

BERLIN The father of the African child Madonna plans to adopt praised the pop star for opening the way for a better life for his 13-month-old son and questioned legal attempts to delay the adoption.
Madonna was like a bulldozer who has cleared the way for a better life for my son, Yohane Banda was quoted as saying in an interview in Bunte magazine, set to appear on newsstands Thursday. Banda left his son, David, with a Malawian orphanage, where Madonna found him, after the boys mother died shortly after childbirth a relatively frequent occurrence

in the impoverished African nation. He rejected efforts by a human rights group to hold up the adoption to make sure no Malawian laws were broken. Madonna explained to me that she wanted to adopt my son, Banda was quoted as saying in the interview, which took place Friday. She assured me she would take good care of David and raise him in peace.
I told her that the most important thing for me was that she offered my son a good future. And then I agreed to the adoption. The people in his village considered it an honor that Madonna had adopted one of their children, and Banda said he slaughtered a goat to celebrate with the whole family.

Kelly Kohn, freshman guard, looks for an opening to pass around Fort Hays State junior guard Meshia Mason. Freshmen make up half of the Jayhawks Womens Basketball team this season.
Taylor McIntosh, freshman forward, struggles against Fort Hays States Ashlee Gustin for a basket as the first half of Wedneday nights exhibition game in Allen Fieldhouse winds to a close. McIntosh led the Jayhawks with 16 points and six rebounds. really was a pleasant surprise tonight. Some of the other fresh faces helped Kansas in less flashy ways. Lindsay Ballweg and Kelly Kohn provided enough defensive intensity to hold Fort Hays State to 20 percent field-goal shooting in the first half and 33.3 percent overall. Danielle McCray and LaChelda Jacobs were strong on the boards, gathering 11 combined rebounds. In 17 minutes of playing time, McCray also managed to tally 13 points and three assists. I think of myself as a player who provides some scoring, said McCray. At the same time, Ive been working hard on my defense. The drawbacks of having such a young roster were apparent at times during the game. During an extended stretch in the middle of the second half, the Lady Tigers outhustled, out-shot, and generally outplayed the Jayhawks. Fort Hays State benefited from a lightning-quick eight point barrage from one of their own freshmen, Naomi Bancroft. Henrickson attributed her teams second-half lapse to a lack of experience but seemed confident the Jayhawks would improve quickly. With games at Wisconsin and Indiana fast-approaching, fans of Kansas womens basketball have to hope Henricksons optimism is warranted.

In the days leading up to the first tip-off of the 2006 season, coach Bonnie Henrickson left the fans, the media, and her players in the dark. Henrickson did not announce to anyone the starting lineup for the Jayhawks first exhibition game against Fort Hays State until just before the start of Wednesdays action. With seven freshmen on the roster, Henrickson had a lot of personnel choices. Come game time, Sade Morris was the only freshman on the court for the Jayhawks, but each of the seven new Jayhawks saw their first collegiate action during the first half. Morris was the most impressive of the newcomers. She followed an
assist with an easy layup on two of Kansas early possessions. Several minutes into the game, it was clear whatever apprehension she felt about her debut in Allen Fieldhouse was nowhere to be found. The college game is much more intense than high school, Morris said. But honestly, I didnt feel too nervous. Morris continued to assert herself on offense throughout the first half, often driving through the lane at her leisure on the way to 12 firsthalf points. Although she scored only two points in the second half, Morris quick start helped Kansas jump out to an early lead that the team would not relinquish. Sade was very aggressive and confident, said Henrickson. She
