Dont be surprised to see a giant door

placed on Wescoe Beach today when KU
Queers and Allies recognizes National
Coming Out Day. The organization will
observe the 19th annual National Coming
Out Day today with displays and informa-
tionavailabletostudentsoncampus.
David Ta, Wichita senior and Queers
& Allies events coordinator, said students

It will definitely be a focal point on

physically show we need the straight com-
munity to support their queer brothers and

The Suzanne Ecke McColl Nature Reserve is a 160-acre plot set aside for research, teaching and conservation. The reserve was dedicated by Chancellor Hemenway on Sept. 30 and became part of the University of Kansas Field Station and Ecological Reserves Program.
By AlexAndrA GArry
From convocation to commence-
ment, a chancellors actions in any
given year can make a huge differ-
ence in the lives of students and staff,
and can even shape the universitys
campus. According to his Web site,
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, over-
sees a $600 million budget and an
enrollment of more than 30,000 stu-
dents.
Chancellor Hemenway holds one
of the most important positions on
campus. But whos the man behind
the title?
Im pretty transparent,
Hemenway said of his personality.
For better or worse, what you see is
what you get.
Hemenway, 66, grew up in
Nebraska, where both of his parents
worked in education. He has eight
children, four of whom are gradu-
ates of the University of Kansas, and
several, like Hemenway, are educa-
tion administrators across the nation
and the world. Hemenway met his
wife, Leah Renee, while working as
the chair of the English department
at the University of Kentucky. They
married in 1981.
Outside his career in education,
Hemenways biggest claim to fame
is arguably Zora Neale Hurston:
A Literary Biography. The book is
nationally acclaimed and was select-
ed by The New York Times as a Best
Books pick in 1978. The book is a
biography of Hurston, a folklorist
and Harlem Renaissance writer who
is most famous for her novel Their
Eyes Were Watching God.
Hurston was a fascinating story-
teller, Hemenway said. She made
people come alive on the page.
Hemenways other hobbies
include hiking and competitive
bridge playing. Hemenway said he
enjoyed walking several miles a day
around campus and recently went
on a hiking tour of France with his
wife. He is also a sports fan, and he
uses much of what little free time
he has to watch various sports, his
favorite of which is baseball.
Hemenway said an average day
on the job consisted of various
meetings and his workday could
last around 12 hours. His position
comes with numerous responsibili-
ties, but he makes light of his power
on campus.
I firmly believe in the old
motto: take your work seriously, but
dont take yourself too seriously,
Hemenway said.

Contestant earns $9,144
at annual pumpkin weigh-
of
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. Just
think of all the pumpkin pie it
could make.
Thad Starr, of Pleasant Hill, Ore.,
set a record at the annual pump-
kin weigh-of in California with his
1,524-pound pumpkin. Hell get
$6 a pound, bringing his winnings
to $9,144.
Its the thrill of the victory,
Starr said Monday after his pump-
kin came out on top. And its the
fruition of a years work.
About 80 contestants compet-
ed for the frst-place prize, festival
ofcials said.
Pumpkins were lowered by
forklift onto a 5-ton capacity
digital scale monitored by ofcials
from the San Mateo County Agri-
cultural Commissioners Ofce.
The top fve pumpkins at the
Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin
Festival will remain on display
throughout the week.
The 2006 winning pumpkin
weighed 1,223 pounds. This years

Sucher, 35, sufered kidney
failure, forcing him to undergo
dialysis.
When Howard came by on a

couldnt aford a new vacuum
cleaner because of the illness. He
also learned Sucher had O-posi-

KC pubcrawl to raise money
for cancer research
Crawl for Cancer,a unique fund-
raiser in Kansas City, Mo., asks its
participants to visit bars and drink
pitchers of beer to raise money for
cancer research Saturday.
Founder Aaron Niemeier said the
event began in 2001 when Niemeier
and a few friends wanted to do a
pub crawl. The friends decided to
donate whatever money was left at
the end of the night to the Ameri-
can Cancer Society.
The charitable crawl has spread
to 15 U.S. cities. Niemeier said the
last Kansas City, Mo., crawl raised
about $100,000.
Each team of 10 wears diferent
colored T-shirts and follows its map
to fve Westport bars from 1 to 5
p.m. An entry fee is used to pay for
beer tickets,and any money left
over goes to the American Cancer
Society, and Helping Hands Founda-
tion. After the crawl, an after party
with live music is provided for par-
ticipants at the Beaumont Club.
Event co-coordinator Samantha
Green said some people thought
the event was controversial and
didnt like the idea of drinking as a
fundraiser for cancer research.
Some people see drinking for
cancer and tend to not think this is
the best way to raise money,Green
said.
Niemeier said young profes-
sionals between the ages of 25 and
35 were going to go out anyway,
and the crawl was an event where
people had a good time for a good
cause.
People say its their favorite
event in KC,Niemeier said. I have
requests almost every other day
about how to start it up in other
cities.
The spring Crawl for Cancer is
set for Saturday, May 17. Niemeier
said those interested in participat-
ing should register soon because
the event flled up quickly.

Man enters Anchutz,
passes out, walks away
At 7:15 p.m. yesterday, a man
reportedly stumbled into Anchutz
Library and passed out.
Zach Williams, Olathe fresh-
man, said he originally thought
the incapacitated man was tired
because of midterms.
Zach said he called the night
service desk supervisor, Victoria
Williams, over to where the man
was laying. She reportedly shook
him hard and told Zach that if
the man started foaming at the
mouth, he should come get her.
Victoria then called the police.
Zach said a few minutes later,
the student woke up, but was
disoriented and had blood shot
eyes. He then passed out again.
Zach said that a few minutes
after that, the man woke again
and left the library on his own.
Zach said that moments later the
paramedics entered the building.
Victoria said when the paramed-
ics discovered the man had left
the library, they went to look for
him.

Tricia West, Kansas City, Mo.,

ber, said she had noticed a more

hadnt sensed the same excitement
amongst the crowd. She blamed the
lethargyonaweakschedule.
Its kind of hard to tell because
the games havent been close, West
said.
The two Mid-American
Conference games attracted the
most fans, with an announced
attendance of 46,815 in the opener
against Central Michigan, last years
MAC champion, and 48,112 against
Toledo.
Announced attendance is based
on the number of tickets sold, not
the number of people in the sta-
dium.
Thenonconferenceslatefeatured
four blowouts and a stadium that
was rapidly thinning after the half-
time of each game. Marchiony said
he didnt think this reflected poorly
onthefans.
We wish they would stay until
the end, but we understand all the
factors that go into that decision,
Marchiony said. In a close contest,
I dont think those people would
leave.
West,whomuststayforthedura-
tionofthegame,saidstudentsleave

painters and a full stadium in the
fourth quarter during conference
play.

game against Missouri was moved

Marchiony said the attendance
record, along with the teams cur-
rent 5-0 mark and No. 20 National
Ranking would help conference
attendance.
The Jayhawks conference atten-
dance mark was set in 2005, with
an average of 45,382 per game.
That year, the team played three
true home games, against Missouri,
Nebraska and Iowa State, with the
fourth, Oklahoma, being played at
Arrowhead. The Oklahoma game
was not figured into home atten-
dancefigures.
Marchiony said this years
Nebraska game would sell out,
and the administration hoped for
good weather during the other
two games. Capacity at Memorial

According to recent studies, more
and more college students are being
subjected to violence by their signifi-
cant others. Researchers have said
that students needed to be aware of
the warning signs and take steps to
ensure they do not become involved
in such relationships.
Dating violence is the term used
to describe any form of abuse, be
it physical or verbal, which occurs
in an intimate relationship. Sandra
Stith, professor of family studies
and human services at Kansas State
University, said that 30 percent of
college students had been in relation-
ships that involved physical violence.
She said a much greater number
of students had suffered emotional
abuse.
Psychological violence is the
most prevalent, Stith said. It can
lead to much more serious things
like physical violence.
Woochan Shim, assistant profes-
sor of social welfare at the University
of Kansas, said a wide variety of
behavior could constitute violence.
She said controlling behavior was a
major factor.
Ordering someone to wear cer-
tain things or not hang out with
certain people are some examples,
Shim said. Any time someones free-
dom is limited, it can be abuse.
The Center for Disease Control
and Prevention estimates that one
in three college students will be
involved in an abusive relation-
ship. The CDC cites alcohol use and
childhood traumas as factors that
might spur a person to abuse his or
her partner.
Shim said that there is no single
cause for abuse.
Sometimes research blinds us,
she said. Alcohol and past histories
of violence may be risk factors, but
they are not causes.
Stith came up with a broad list of
questions that could help one evalu-
ate his or her relationship. One ques-
tion asks: Does your partner try to
control your life?
You should avoid extreme needi-
ness where the other person wants
every second of your time, Stith
said.
Another question she says one
should ask is: Do I feel better or
worse about myself when I am in
this relationship?
Low self-esteem is a very seri-
ous concern, she said. If you feel
like youre constantly walking on
eggshells around this person, its not
right.
A third question involves the link
between substance abuse and vio-
lence: Is your partner involved in
heavy alcohol or drug use?
Both Shim and Stith said it is
important to remember that both
men and women can be victims of
dating violence.
Studies consistently find that it
is equal, Stith said. Both men and
women are psychologically control-
ling.
Shim said that all too often, men
were viewed as the enemy. She said
she hoped to see programs in the
future that incorporate male leaders
in teaching children about how to
have healthy relationships early on.
We need to acknowledge the
fact that men do get victimized,
she said. For us to end violence in
our society, we cant target just one
enemy, we need to work together.
Prevention should start early.

Station fnds artistic listeners
BY JEFF DETERS
jdeters@kansan.com
Katie Jennings is trying to
launch her new online business
Insect Art, and with a little help
from Kansas Public Radio, she
might accomplish that.
About a month ago, KPR
began asking listeners to sub-
mit to the radio station various
works of art that could hang on
a wall as part of an art exhibi-
tion. Phil Wilke, media man-
ager for KPR, said the station
had received more than 60 sub-
missions, including work from
University of Kansas students.
The exhibition will be displayed
in the Conference Room in the
KPR building until the end of
November. The exhibition is
free and open to the public.
Wilke said the station hoped to
soon have pictures of the gal-
lery online.
These are very talented
kids, Wilke said.
Jennings, Lawrence native
and 2005 KU graduate, said
she enjoyed working with
dried insects. She submitted to
the exhibition a piece entitled
Jewel Beetles. The piece is a
display of plain beetles follow-
ing behind a more elegantly
decorated jewel beetle.
Jennings studied anthropol-
ogy at the University and said
she enjoyed working with bee-
tles because they had cultural
significance. She said ancient
Mesoamerican societies deco-
rated living beetles with gold and
jewels.
I like to work with beetles
because they hold a worldwide
mystical value, Jennings said.
John Counts, Auburn, Ala.,
graduate student, first heard about
the art show while driving and
listening to KPR. He is studying
geology and has done photogra-
phy work for the last seven years.
He submitted to KPRs gallery a
photo of a record player in a barn
in Alabama.
Counts said he submitted his
work because the show gave him
the opportunity to locally show-
case his work, which was more
convenient.
Id like to exhibit more, but
I dont have time to search for
upcoming exhibitions and get my
work ready for display, Counts
said.
Counts said that while he
enjoyed photography, it was not
a career he wanted to make a liv-
ing doing.
But I enjoy it, and I think I
will always be involved with pho-
tography to some degree, Counts
said.

business fundraiser
environment
BY SASHA ROE
sroe@kansan.com
Instead of buying the generic
princess costume from a chain store
this Halloween,
downtown busi-
nesses suggest
checking out
their ideas while
benefiting a local
charity. Fashion
Monsters will
feature costumes
from vintage
clothing stores
and perfor-
mances from
local artists to benefit the Social
Service League at The Replay Lounge
Saturday.
Kate Furst, Wild Man Vintage
employee and show director, said
this was the second fashion show
she had done for charity. In July,
Furst presented Summer Sweat! for
Audio Reader. Furst said the Social
Service League was her first choice
for a second fundraiser. She said that
with the loss of the Salvation Army
and Disabled American Veterans
thrift store, the SSL was an important
downtown fixture.
Theyre helping out a lot of peo-
ple in a lot of different ways, Furst
said.
The Social Service League is
Lawrences oldest charity, dating back
to 1861. The SSL provides services
through its thrift store and its eye and
shoe funds. The eye fund assists local
families with the cost of eye examina-
tions and glasses, and the shoe fund
works with Payless Shoes to provide
shoes to children and adults in need.
Jean Ann Pike of SSL said fund-
raisers and store sales were the only
funding the SSL received. Pike was
thrilled to learn Furst wanted the
next fashion show to benefit SSL.
Weve always relied on fundrais-
ers, Pike said. When Kate asked me,
I said, Sure, you bet. They put on one
heck of a show.
Furst
said Fashion
Monsters wasnt
a typical fashion
show but a gen-
eral showcase of
the creative out-
lets available in
Lawrence.
T h e
usual fashion
shows are boring
to me, Furst said. Lets make it a
party and give it a theme.
Models from each business will
display Halloween costumes created
from vintage clothing. Performances
from The Felt Show satirical pup-
pet troupe and local artists of the
E.M.U. Theater will entertain the
audience throughout the show. Each
business is creating its own costume
theme from items in the store.
Erica Voetsch, Leawood junior
and an Arizona Trading Co, employ-
ee, said local shops could provide
more creative and more unique cos-
tume ideas than larger chain stores.
Theres such a better variety,
Voetsch said. We have such a wide
selection of weird stuff that comes in
here.
Voetsch said the store had an entire
corner designated for Halloween cos-
tumes and props.
Malina Heinemann, designer for
Wild Man Vintages costumes for the
show, said she created a 1880s-style
dress with a combination of vintage
clothing ranging from the 1890s to
the 1970s.
You can really use your imagina-
tion, Heinemann said. You get to be
the costumer.
Furst said she enjoyed putting
together the shows and the help from
the downtown businesses.
I just want to have a good time,
and throw an awesome party for peo-
ple, Furst said. And when you do it
for a charity, people are so gung-ho.
The show begins at 8 p.m. on
Saturday at The Replay Lounge and
is for people 21 and older. The money
made from the shows $3 admission
charge goes to the Social Service
League.

The nonprofit, microlending
organization Kiva has experienced
an overwhelming number of people
providing funds for lending, thanks
to former president Bill Clintons
latest book, Giving, and The
Oprah Winfrey Show. Clinton fea-
tured Kiva as a way for volunteers
to help small businesses in develop-
ing countries through the Internet.
Kiva, founded in San Francisco
in late 2004, allows lenders to select
entrepreneurs on its Web site and
use a credit card to loan them
money. Kiva transfers funds to
local partners, which are nongov-
ernmental organization workers at
microfinance institutions, who then
disburse the loans to each qualified
borrower. Kivas local partners col-
lect repayments and e-mail updates
to lenders about the progress of the
businesses to which they loaned the
funds. As the businesses succeed,
funds are returned to lenders, who
can then choose to re-loan to anoth-
er business or withdraw the funds.
After Clinton and the founders
of Kiva, Matt and Jessica Flannery,
appeared on
The Oprah
Winfrey Show
last month, the
Kivas Web site
posted a mes-
sage stating that
this year, for the
first time, every
business that
applied had
been funded.
Kiva has loaned
more than
$12.6 million,
and 99.6 per-
cent of the loans have been repaid.
Its donor membership has grown
from 75,000 in June to more than
127,000 today.
Stephanie Bryson, a University of
Kansas project coordinator of chil-
drens mental health for the School
of Social Welfare, joined Kiva after
seeing a PBS Frontline special in
April about the organization.
Im happy to see the recent pub-
licity, Bryson said. I hope this new
demand will bring more microlend-
ing organizations out.
Kiva allows donors to lend as lit-
tle as $25 to a specific entrepreneur
in a developing
country. These
microloans are
then used by
the small busi-
ness owners to
lift themselves
out of poverty
with their own
business mod-
els.
People in
Lawrence have
joined the
organi zat i on
and have loaned thousands of dol-
lars to businesses in countries such
as Mexico, Togo and Cambodia.
My husband and I narrow the
choices down to three people, said
Cheryl Holmes, a University project
manager for the School of Social
Welfare. We then read each per-
sons story to our 6-year-old son,
talking about the area of the world
the person is
from and what
he or she wants
to do with the
loan. We then
make a selection
as a family.
Kiva has
funded 17,000
loans today
compared with
the seven it
started with in
March 2005.
Sam Snyder,
a Motorola technician and 2006
University graduate, has loaned to
703 people, totaling at least $17,575,
since he joined in January 2006.
I loan because I believe everyone
in the world deserves the opportu-
nity to succeed and improve their
lives and their communities, Snyder
said.
Snyder has lent mostly to female
borrowers after reading Nobel
Peace Prize winner Muhammad
Yunus book Banker to the Poor.
Yunus, who developed the concept
of microlending in the 1970s, said
women are more likely than men
to repay loans,
save money and
support their
families.
Small busi-
ness owners in
poor countries
need capital, but
because of a lack
of collateral and
credit history
they are unable
to acquire loans
from tradi-
tional or formal banking systems.
Nongovernmental organizations
and private institutions such as Kiva
supply microloans to these people
in need.
When a person lives in pov-
erty due to either unemployment or
under-employment, this person will
search for opportunities to make
a living, said Rubana Mahjabeen,
a University economics lecturer.
Microcredit gives these people an
opportunity to pursue that goal. So,
these people will try to make the
best use of this loan.
Grace Ayaa, whose peanut but-
ter business received a microloan
through Kiva, lives in Uganda
where most people work in a local
rock quarry for $1 a day. Her loan
allowed her to buy a refrigerator
and packing material, increasing her
peanut butter production.
Ayaas loan from Kiva benefits
not only her and her family but oth-
ers in her town. According to Kivas
Web site, www.kiva.org, other villag-
ers have decided to start their own
businesses with microloans from
Kiva after seeing Ayaas success.
Their business profiles are available
on Kivas Web site.

Most students at the University of
Kansas are familiar with sites around
campus such as Potter Lake and the
Campanile. But few students have
ventured to the Universitys wilder
side: the Field Station and Ecological
Reserves. Last month, a 160-acre plot
was added to the nature reserve.
The new Suzanne Ecke McColl
Nature Reserve is part of the 3,404
acres set aside for research, teach-
ing and conservation. According to
an Oct. 1 KU press release, much of
Douglas County used to be covered
by a tallgrass prairie, but today less
than 1 percent of the countys prairie
remains. Private donors funded the
land purchase to ensure the prairie
would be protected for future gen-
erations.
Berry Clemens, project coordi-
nator for Kansas Applied Remote
Sensing, said she was excited by the
many opportunities the new land
would offer.
There will be several good dem-
onstrations of ecological conserva-
tion that we hope can be used in the
classrooms at KU, Clemens said.
The KU Endowment Association
is raising money to complete several
projects for the new plot. According
to the same press release, the site will
include a hiking trail that connects
to existing trails on the field station
and a 1,200-foot-long handicapped
accessible nature trail that will lead
to an overlook 240 feet above the
Kaw River Valley.
Money is being raised to expand
the trails and make them more acces-
sible, said Lisa Scheller, senior editor
for the KU Endowment Association.
There will be labels explaining the
types of wildlife visitors will be look-
ing at.
The press release said that a
Monarch Watch waystation would
also be constructed so that visitors
can observe migrating butterflies.
Gardens on the McColl reserve will
feature wildflowers, as well as Native
American and medicinal herbs.
Clemens also said that the reserve
had areas rife with Kansas history.
There is a 10-acre prairie that
looks exactly like it was 200 years
ago, she said. I think a Native
American history class could learn a
lot from it.

NEWS 6A wednesday, october 10, 2007
By JOHN WILEN
AssOcIAtEd PrEss
NEW YORK Almost all
Americans will pay a lot more to
heat their homes this winter, even
though temperatures are expected to
be warmer than average.
Thats the sobering message
from an Energy Department report
Tuesday that estimates heating oil
costs are likely to jump 22 percent
and natural gas bills, on average,
will rise 10 per-
cent between
October and
March.
And while the
National Oceanic
and Atmospheric
Administration
forecasted a
milder than
average winter
in most parts of
the country, the
agency also pre-
dicted Tuesday
that temperatures will be 1.3 percent
colder than last year.
In Massachusetts, where about 40
percent of homeowners rely on oil
for heat, consumers are bracing for
price spikes, said Michael Ferrante,
president of the trade group,
Massachusetts Oilheat Council.
They are buttoning up their
houses even more; they are turning
down their thermostats; they are
wearing sweaters, Ferrante said.
Surging crude oil prices are the
primary, but not the only, culprit for
the jump in fuel oil costs. This spring
and summer, American refineries
experienced an unusual number of
unexpected maintenance outages.
The net result was that fewer refiner-
ies were producing gasoline, heating
oil and other petroleum products.
The outages sent gasoline prices
to a record $3.23 a gallon in late
May as refiners
scrambled to
produce enough
gasoline to meet
peak summer
driving demand.
Because they
used every ounce
of the refinery to
produce gaso-
line, it came at
the expense of
distillate fuels
like home heat-
ing oil, said Phil Flynn, an analyst at
Alaron Trading Corp. in Chicago.
Despite the government forecast,
natural gas prices have been mostly
falling in recent weeks. Inventories
remained high as new sources of
natural gas were tapped this year,
and a cooler summer depressed
demand.
We could have all-time record
storage by the beginning of
February, said Tim Evans, an ana-
lyst at Citigroup, Inc., in New York.
But all of that could change if
oil prices stay high and electricity
plant operators switch to natural gas
for units that can burn either fuel,
said Ron Denhardt, CEO of Strategic
Energy & Economic Research, Inc.,
in Winchester, Mass.
On the other hand, supplies com-
ing this year, including Anadarko
Petroleum Corp.s Independence
Hub platform in the Gulf of Mexico
and a portion of the huge Rockies
Express natural gas pipeline project,
are expected to boost natural gas
supplies by 2 billion to 2.5 billion
cubic feet.
Thats a lot of supply coming on,
Denhardt said.
The Energy Department estimat-
ed a gallon of heating oil will rise to
$2.88 this winter as crude oil prices
stay high. Crude futures traded on
the New York Mercantile Exchange
have surged by more than a third
from a year ago and settled Tuesday
at $80.26 per barrel, up 1.2 percent
for the day.
In Massachusetts, the Division of
Energy Resources said dealers were
charging an average $2.72 a gallon
for fuel oil on Tuesday a record
high, and up 5 cents from the most
recent survey on Sept. 18. The figure
is 11 cents higher than the peak that
followed a series of price spikes after
Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Heating oil is used by 7 percent
of American households, mostly
in the Northeast, while natural gas
heat is used by 58 percent of house-
holds. Another 30 percent are heat-
ed by electricity, which the Energy
Department estimated will rise 4
percent in cost this winter.
For the 5 percent of American
homes that use propane, winter heat-
ing costs are expected to increase 16
percent.
While some homeowners are
choosing to convert to natural gas
furnaces, oil dealers argue that such
conversions dont pay off. An aver-
age conversion costs $5,575, the
Massachusetts Oilheat Council says.
I think consumers understand
if they do the research, heating oil
has been cheaper than natural gas in
the past, said Ken Williams, owner
of Scott-Williams Oil, in Quincy,
Mass.
The wild card in the heating cost
estimates is the weather. If the U.S.
experiences a warmer than expected
winter, prices of some fuels could
decrease through the winter.
But if the winter is particularly
cold, prices could jump more than
expected. You could have (supply)
tightness if youre going to have a
colder-than-normal winter, Evans
said.
Penny Taylor, who spent about
$350 a month last winter to heat her
Sarasota, Fla., home with electric
heat, blanched when she heard about
Tuesdays price forecast from the
Energy Department.
I think were going to have to get
a lot of blankets, because theres no
way well be able to afford to run the
heat, Taylor said.

POTOSI, Mo. A former piz-
zeria manager said Tuesday that he
attempted to kill a boy he kidnapped
and held captive in his apartment,
but the child persuaded him not to
do it.
Michael Devlin, 41, pleaded
guilty Tuesday to kidnapping, sexu-
ally assaulting and attempting to
murder Shawn Hornbeck, a day
after pleading guilty to kidnapping
another boy.
Devlin admitted his crimes in
graphic detail to Washington County
Circuit Court Judge Sandra Martinez
just feet away from Shawns weeping
parents, Pam and Craig Akers.
I attempted to kill (Shawn) and
he talked me out of it, Devlin said
in court.
Prosecutors said Devlin snatched
Shawn at gunpoint when the 11-
year-old was riding his bike in the
remote town of Richwoods. He kid-
napped William Ben Ownby in
January, and police who found Ben
four days after he was taken were
shocked to discover a 15-year-old
Shawn in Devlins apartment.
Prosecutors said the combined
pleas mean he will not be eligible
for parole until he is more than 100
years old. He was sentenced to three
life terms plus 60 years in prison
Tuesday, in addition to a life sen-
tence he received Monday.
Washington County prosecutor
John Rupp said he was satisfied with
the sentences Devlin received.
You heard it from his own mouth.
Youve heard what kind of a monster
he is, Rupp said after the hearing.
Devlins defense attorneys and
Shawns parents declined to com-
ment Tuesday. Devlin was expected
to plead guilty later in the day in St.
Louis County to 71 felony charges,
including kidnapping and sexual
assault.
Devlins attorneys have said he
accepted a plea deal after reviewing
the evidence collected by state and
federal authorities. The boys fami-
lies said they were relieved because
the pleas will spare the teens from
testifying and reliving the ordeal.

Turkey could launch attack
against Kurdish rebels
SIrnaK, turkey turkeys
ruling party decided tuesday to
seek parliamentary approval for
an ofensive against Kurdish rebels
based in northern Iraq, a move
that could open a new front in the
Iraq War and disrupt one of that
nations few relatively peaceful
areas.
the government did not say
it had decided to launch such an
attack, which could jeopardize
turkeys ties with the United States.
the U.S. warned against sending
troops across the border and urged
turkey to work with Iraqs govern-
ment to quell the turkish Kurd
guerrillas.
If they have a problem, they
need to work together to resolve
it, and Im not sure that unilateral
incursions are the way to go, State
Department spokesman Sean Mc-
Cormack said. We have counseled,
both in public and private, for
many, many months, the idea that
it is important to work coopera-
tively to resolve this issue.
In the past, turkish troops have
made small-scale hot pursuit
raids into Iraq that ofcials say do
not require parliaments approval.
the last major incursion against
the militant separatists operating
out of Iraqs Kurdish region was in
1997.
there are widespread fears that
a turkish ofensive would destabi-
lize Iraqs Kurdish area, which has
largely escaped the violence and
political turmoil aficting regions
dominated by Shiite Muslims and
Sunni arabs.
Iraqi Kurds, who run a virtual
mini-state in Iraqs north, have
vowed to defend their borders.

The effect is called giant magne-
toresistance, but it enables amazing
things at the miniature level.
Two European scientists won
the 2007 Nobel Prize in physics
Tuesday for their discoveries of the
phenomenon, which spurred some
of computings most astonishing
developments.
Frances Albert Fert and
Germanys Peter Gruenberg inde-
pendently described giant mag-
netoresistance in 1988, then saw
the electronics industry apply it
in disks with incredible amounts
of storage.
I can hardly think of an appli-
cation that has a bigger bang than
the magnetic
hard drive
industry, said
Phil Schewe, a
physicist and
spokesman for
the American
Institute of
Physics.
Fert, 69, is
the scientific
director of the
Mixed Unit
for Physics at
CNRS/Thales in Orsay, France,
while Gruenberg, 68, is a profes-
sor at the Institute of Solid State
Research in the west German city
of Juelich. They will share the $1.5
million prize.
Gruenberg told reporters that
he was not too surprised to win the
Nobel. Because I have received a
lot of awards, I was often asked,
When will the big award come?
Gruenberg said.
Asked if hed thought his discov-
ery would have such wide appli-
cation, Fert told The Associated
Press: You can never predict in
physics. ... These days when I go
to my grocer and see him type on
a computer, I say, Wow, hes using
something I put together in my
mind. Its wonderful.
Heres how it works.
As a metal disk spins inside a
hard drive, an arm with a sensitive
electromagnetic head at its tip hov-
ers over the disk, somewhat like the
needle on a record player (though
it doesnt make contact). This head
reads bits of data by registering
the magnetic bearing of individual
particles; it writes data by changing
that magnetic orientation.
For disk drives to increase in
capacity, those magnetic particles
must become
smaller, so
more can be
packed into the
same amount
of space. But
these ever-
tinier materi-
als produce
fainter mag-
netic signals,
which means
the read-write
head in the
disk drive has to become more
sensitive.
What Fert and Gruenberg inde-
pendently discovered was that thin
layers of alternating metals could
detect weak changes in magnetism
and translate them into giant
changes in electrical resistance.
In other words, the particles
used in data storage could get
smaller and still produce the elec-
trical signals that computers read
as ones or zeros.

Researchers win
Nobel Prize for

I can hardly think of an ap-
plication that has a bigger bang

WHITE PASS, Wash. Searchers
combing through wreckage Tuesday
found the last three victims among
10 killed when their plane crashed in
Washingtons rugged central Cascade
Range on their way home from a
skydiving event.
Bodies of seven of the 10 peo-
ple aboard were found Monday.
Recovery crews found the rest on
Tuesday, said Nisha Marvel, spokes-
woman for the state Department of
Transportations aviation division.
Its rough rugged terrain, and it
took about 35 volunteers to comb
that recovery area today to find the
remaining passengers, Marvel said.
The debris at the remote crash site
indicated that the Cessna Caravan
208 went down in a steep nosedive,
Yakima County Sheriff Ken Irwin
told a news con-
ference at a com-
mand center.
The plane
left Star, Idaho
on Sunday eve-
ning en route to
Shelton, Wash.,
but did not
arrive. It had
been returning
from a skydiving
meet in Idaho
when it disappeared.
It was not immediately clear what
caused the plane to crash.
We have radar information that
shows the rapid descent but other
than that we have really no hard evi-
dence as to what caused it, Marvel
said.
Fighting back tears, Kelly Craig,
whose 30-year-old brother, Casey,
died in the crash, said the skydivers
on board had made lots of jumps
over the weekend. He doubted that
they would have been prepared for
an emergency jump, because it was
unlikely they were strapped into
parachutes and wearing goggles on
their way home.
The plane
crashed just
east of the crest
of the Cascades,
about five miles
south of White
Pass and on
the edge of the
Goat Rocks
Wilderness, said
Wayne Frudd of
Yakima County
Search and
Rescue. The crash site is about 25
miles southeast of Mount Rainier.
Im told it was a horrific sight
and the airplane crashed at a fairly
high speed, said Jim Hall, direc-
tor of Yakima Valley Emergency
Management.
The wreckage was found about an
hour after dark Monday by searchers
on the ground following the smell
of fuel.
A hunter who reported seeing
a low-flying plane then hearing a
crash said the engine sounded like
it was working hard and whining
as the aircraft went down, said Tom
Peterson, aviation and emergency
services coordinator for the state
Department of Transportation.
The plane, a single-engine turbo-
prop built in 1994, was found within
200 yards of its last radar ping in
rugged terrain at an elevation of
4,300 feet. The crash site measured
about 100 feet by 60 feet, indicating
that the plane probably went straight
down, said Irwin, the sheriff.
The Federal Aviation
Administration and the National
Transportation Safety Board will
investigate the crash.
Authorities did not immediately
release the names of the victims,
who ranged in age from 18 to 40,
because not all family members had
been notified.
The nine skydivers were affiliated
with Skydive Snohomish, a com-
pany that operates a training school
and skydiving flights at Harvey Field
north of Seattle.

CHICAGO A migraine pill
seems to help alcoholics taper off
their drinking without detox treat-
ment, researchers report, offering a
potential option for a hard-to-treat
problem.
The drug, Topamax, works in
a different way than three other
medications already approved for
treating alcoholism.
Experts said the drug is likely
to appeal to heavy drinkers who
would rather seek help from their
own doctors, rather than enter a
rehab clinic to dry out. The drug
costs at least $350 a month, plus the
price of doctors visits.
But side effects are a prob-
lem, and its unclear whether the
findings will make a dent in an
addiction that affects millions of
Americans.
Addiction specialists not
involved in the study said the find-
ings are promising, although side
effects such as trouble concentrat-
ing, tingling and itching caused
about one in five people to drop out
of the study. Drowsiness and dizzi-
ness are also problems.
The size of the treatment effect
is larger than in most of the other
medications weve seen, said Dr.
Mark Willenbring of the National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism. And all the drink-
ing variables changed in the right
direction.
The study, published in
Wednesdays Journal of the
American Medical Association, was
funded by the maker of the drug,
Johnson & Johnson Inc.s Ortho-
McNeil Neurologics.
The study followed 371 heavy
drinkers for 14 weeks. About half
were randomly assigned to take
Topamax, also called topiramate,
in gradually increasing doses. The
others took dummy pills.
All volunteers were encour-
aged but not required to stop
drinking.
At the start of the study, they
drank, on average, 11 standard
drinks daily. Thats about two six-
packs of beer each day, or two
bottles of wine, or a pint of hard
liquor. By the end of the study, 27 of
the 183 people, or 15 percent, who
took Topamax had quit drinking
entirely for seven weeks or more.
That compared to six out of 188, or
3 percent, in the placebo group.
Others cut back.
The Topamax group cut back
to six drinks a day, on average,
assuming everyone who dropped
out of the study relapsed into heavy
drinking. That compared to seven
drinks a day for the placebo group.
You can come in drinking
a bottle of scotch a day and get
treatment without detox, said Dr.
Bankole Johnson of the University
of Virginia, who led the study,
which was conducted at 17 U.S.
sites from 2004-2006.
The study didnt follow the drink-
ers long-term, so its unclear how
many relapsed after they stopped
taking the pill.
But there were lasting effects for
Tom Wolfe, 44, a carpenter from
Earlysville, Va., who said he has
been sober for two years thanks
to Topamax. After years of heavy
drinking, he took part in an ear-
lier Topamax study. He felt a lit-
tle lightheaded at first until he
got used to the drug. Alcohol lost
its enjoyment, strengthening his
resolve to quit.
Its been a miracle to me, Wolfe
said. It got the monkey off my
back.

security guards open fre
on two women in taxi
BaGHDaD Guards working
for an australian-owned security
company fred on a car as it ap-
proached their convoy Tuesday,
killing two women civilians before
speeding away from the latest
bloodshed blamed on the deadly
mix of heavily armed protection
details on Baghdads crowded
streets.
The deaths of the two iraqi
Christians including one who
used the white sedan as an unof-
fcial taxi to raise money for her
family came a day after the
iraqi government handed U.S.
ofcials a report demanding hefty
payments and the ouster from iraq
of embattled Blackwater USa for a
chaotic shooting last month that
left at least 17 civilians dead.
We deeply regret this incident,
said a statement from michael
Priddin, the chief operating ofcer
of Unity Resources Group, a secu-
rity company owned by australian
partners but with headquarters in
Dubai in the United arab Emirates.
Priddin said the company
would disclose more details of the
shooting after the facts have been
verifed and the necessary people
and authorities notifed.Priddin
would not comment on whether
his guards killed the women.
But initial accounts from
company statements, witnesses
and others suggested the
guards opened fre as the car
failed to heed warnings to stop
and drifted closer to the convoy
near a Unity facility in central
Baghdads Karrahah district.
it was not immediately clear
whether the guards were protect-
ing a client at the time.

L
adies and gentlemen,
the Kansas Jayhawks
are 5-0, including
a thrilling win at Manhattan
against the Kansas State Wild-
cats. They have outscored their
opponents 244-47, and they are
ranked the 20th best team in the
nation.
And Brandon Rush hasnt
played a game.
Thats because Im talking
about the Jayhawks football
team, a squad that has turned
many heads this season, break-
ing out of the mediocrity. The
city of Lawrence has responded,
and the support for the team is
pouring in. But you just cant
please everyone. Some critics
have not been phased by the Jay-
hawks success, chalking it up to
the one of the if not the easiest
non- conference schedule in the
nation. They are sticking to their
argument too, even though the
Jayhawks were able to beat the
#24 KSU Wildcats on Saturday
in Manhattan for the frst time
in almost two decades. But to
each his own. Some, however,
have gone as far as to shun the
Athletic Department for creat-
ing a non-conference schedule
that attacked four small schools
to give fans a false sense of se-
curity that the 2007 Jayhawks
were an elite team, which would
result in more tickets being sold,
as well as to help the chances
that the 2007 Jayhawks would
be requested to participate in a
bowl game, which would result
in more money for the Depart-
ment.
Its fnally happened, fellow
Kansas students. The critics are
unable to insult the Jayhawks
secondary, so now theyre at-
tacking our schedule makers.
Its as pathetic as it sounds.
Let me make it clear that the
when a non-conference game
is scheduled, it is completely
voluntary by both sides. Kan-
sas isnt a large fre breathing
dragon that grabs lowly teams
like Florida International out of
their homes in Miami and forc-
es them to play the Jayhawks in
Lawrence, or else wed take their
frst born. Every non-conference
game was a mutual agreement
between both schools Athletic
Departments. MAAC Confer-
ence Champion Central Michi-
gan agreed to play a game with
the Jayhawks, KU wins 52-7 and
they blame Kansas for request-
ing the game? Central Michigan
likely wanted the game as much
as Kansas did, for publicity
purposes and a chance to up-
set (See: Appalachian State vs.
Michigan.) The bottom line is
that KU wants to win. The Big
12 is diffcult enough, and the
way that the NCAA Football
Playoffs, or lack thereof, work,
winning is the bottom line, no
matter who you play. If creat-
ing a schedule that helps KUs
chances of getting to a respect-
able bowl game is wrong, I dont
want KU to be right.
Last season, critics scolded
team performance, and with
how the Jayhawks played in
the Oklahoma State and Bay-
lor games, it was deserved. This
year, critics want to bash the
schedule. Id rather just enjoy
the season, than seek faws that
arent there. The players are
busting their asses. Lets give
them some respect.

A
pparently the price of
learning your ABCs
has skyrocketed.
Last week, Forbes.com pub-
lished a list of the most expen-
sive preschools. I was shocked
to see that the yearly tuition for
some was as high as $30,000,
about fve times the KU in-state
tuition or my rent for the next
seven years. Granted, these
preschools have some things
that your standard, church-
basement preschool does not
provide. At the 92nd Street Y,
where tuition is a mind-blow-
ing $17,740, the three-and-
four-year-olds engage in an
archeology dig and sculpture
projects. In these preschools,
subjects covered range from
music and drama to foreign
languages and sciences. That
sounds great for a fourth-or-
ffth grader that could really ap-
preciate it.
How many of us even re-
member anything about pre-
school? I have hazy memories
of coloring and sitting in a cir-
cle. Would I remember more if
I had had some extraordinary
experiences? I doubt it. I went
to Disney World when I was
three, which is the pinnacle of
events when youre a kid, and I
dont remember a thing. To me,
the goal of preschool is to gen-
tly acquaint your child with the
regimented environment of a
school. They learn the rules and
routines that accompany going
to school without the added
stress of diffcult schoolwork.
Intensive lessons in Spanish or
classical music dont really ft in
my ideal preschool situation.
Forbes.com claims that
kindergarten has become the
new frst grade, which makes
preschool the new kindergar-
ten. Am I the only one seeing
that what we are still missing
here is an actual preschool?
By the time our generation
is ready to send preschool
packing, the birth will be the
new preschool. You will get
on a waiting list immediately
after your frst sonogram, and
teachers will come and asses
the childs learning capabilities
basinet-side when the baby is
in the hospital. We will be ex-
pected to not only scrimp and
save so that our children can
go to the college of their choice
but also so that they can go to
the most advantageous pre-
schools and elementary school.
How will we be able to not only
combat the rising price of a col-
lege education, but also pay
the tuition for a preschool that
costs nearly as much as a year
at Harvard?
The teachers of these schools
are propagating that their cur-
riculum prepares near-infants
for a later ivy-league education;
but to me, its just a scam. Even
if you have the cash to blow,
its still a worthless investment.
Rather than throwing obscene
amounts of money at a fancy
preschool program, parents
should be spending time with
their children. If you think your
child is the next Mozart, then
invest in expensive music les-
sons a few years later when he
can handle it.
I plan on sending my kids to
the local preschool where they
will not only learn to line up
properly and share with oth-
ers but also that you cannot eat
glue or crayons. I think theyll
still have a shot at Harvard.

he Kansas football teams biggest upset
of the season didnt take place on
Saturday against Kansas State.
Sure, watching Aqib Soulja Boy Talib
and company crank their way into the Top
25 was satisfying, but the football teams big-
gest victory of the season came on Monday.
For the first time since the first Clinton
Administration, the football team overshad-
owed the basketball team.
Remember the basketball team? The
one that went to the Elite Eight last season,
will most likely be ranked in the preseason
top-five, and has greater expectations than
Dickens.
Well, that basketball team starts practice
on Friday with its annual Late Night in the
Phog. Its half spectacle, half scrimmage, and
its the first chance fans have to check out the
new squad.
But this year, the basketball season can
wait. Theres another show in town, and this
Saturday its headlining at Memorial Stadium
at 11:30 a.m. Leading men Todd Reesing
and Talib will attempt to keep the No. 20
football team undefeated against woeful
Baylor. Kansas football is the biggest show in
town. Can you believe it?
It doesnt matter if youve been hanging
out on Wescoe Beach, inside Mrs. Es, at
the Kansas Union, or in a frat house dining
room, Kansas football has been the toast
of every conversation this week. I actually
engaged in an outrageous debate over the
chain of events that needed to happen for
Kansas to play in the National Championship
game at the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 7.
Was there any time in the past 10 years when
fans could have rationally had that conversa-
tion?
The Kansas basketball team has done
nothing wrong. And within a few weeks you
can probably count on most of those lunch-
time football conversations turning to the
status of Brandon Rushs ACL. But for now,
think about this relationship analogy.
Imagine you have a girlfriend or boy-
friend. Well call this person Pat. Pat is gor-
geous, has a great personality, and is always
ranked in top 25 in the nation in the AP
significant other poll. But Pat also has a his-
tory of letting you down at the most critical
of times. And in March you feel like you cant
trust Pat at all.
Now a guy or girl youve known for a long
time is starting to catch your eye. Well call
this person Kelly. Kelly used to have a lot of
flaws. Kelly was extremely unreliable, terrible
to travel with, and just annoyingly dull. But
something happened to Kelly. Kelly dropped
20 pounds, started saying all the right things,
and just became fun to be around.
You can probably figure out who Pat and
Kelly are. And wouldnt you at least be mildly
intrigued by Kelly?
The basketball team probably doesnt have
to worry about anybody actually breaking up
with it, but it might have to get used to shar-
ing the limelight and the headlines with the
football team. Kansas should roll over Baylor
this weekend, and if Kansas can squeak past
Colorado in Boulder, Colo., on Oct. 20,
Kansas would be 7-0 going into a date with
Texas A&M in College Station, Texas on Oct.
27.
This could be a historical year in
Lawrence. You have to go back to 1995-96
to find the last time Kansas was ranked in
the AP Top 10 in football and basketball in
the same school year. The Jayhawks peaked
at No. 6 in football in the Oct. 28 poll, while
the Kansas basketball team spent the entire
season in the Top 10, including three weeks
at No. 1.
Two years before that in 1992-93, Kansas
won the Aloha Bowl in football and went to
the Final Four in Basketball.
This year has the potential to be even
bigger. Kansas fans should set their sights
on San Antonio. It must be fate that the Big
12 Championship game and the Final Four
are both being played at the AlamoDome.
There could be plenty of Rock Chalk on the
River Walk in San Antonio in December and
March. Is it realistic? Probably not. But is it
possible? Yes, and isnt that something?

Brandon Rush

night but only for lay-up

play in the scrimmage.
Still, the public will have
its frst chance to see how
Rushs surgically-repaired
knee looks in a basketball
setting.
Fans will also get to
see sophomore forward
Darrell Arthur. A stress
fracture prevented Arthur
from playing basketball
for six weeks this sum-
mer. Hes been playing
since late August and
will be counted on
to help the fll the

Cole Aldrich just wants
to touch a basketball.
After two weeks of boot
camp hell, the feel of
leather will likely seem
like heaven for the fresh-
man center.
He may be happy that
the team is fnished with
the workouts, but that doesnt mean he
struggled.
Hes done better than I thought consid-
ering his size and how I did freshman year,
senior center Sasha Kaun said. He did a
phenomenal job.
Aldrich, a McDonalds All-American, joins
guard Tyrel Reed as the only freshmen on
scholarship. Reed also had a good boot
camp. Both players could contribute early
this season and will likely get plenty of min-
utes in Friday nights scrimmage.
Chase Buford and Conner Teahan, the
other two freshmen on the roster, are walk-
ons.

To fll in for Wright, Ar-

The Jayhawks front-

season. Arthur, Jackson,
Kaun and Aldrich, will
likely compete for two
starting spots. The play
between these four play-
ers should make for good
viewing Friday night.

Something was missing from
the fnal game at Allen Fieldhouse

Not one senior played for the
Jayhawks last year. Now there
are fve. Guard Russell Robinson,
guard Jeremy Case, center Sasha
Kaun, guard Brad Witherspoon
and forward Darnell Jackson
only have one year left to play for
Kansas. The presence of seniors
has already changed the teams
attitude.

said, and we appreciate that. We
try to be the best example we
can and they try to model us and
be great basketball players with
great work ethics.

Missouri expects 3,000 fans to come to
Mizzou Madness Friday night, and Kansas
State might get 7,000 for Madness in
Manhattan. The rest of the Big 12 schools
dont even have an open practice Friday
night to start the season.
Kansas Late Night in the Phog is dif-
ferent.
Few schools can match the fan pas-
sion and atmosphere present in Allen
Fieldhouse for Late Night, making the night
a valuable recruiting tool for the Jayhawks.
After that first one, its something else,
senior guard Russell Robinson said.
Kansas Late Night tradition has been
strong since the era of former coach Roy
Williams. During the last years of his ten-
ure, the Fieldhouse was nearly packed to
capacity every season for the midnight
scrimmage. The same has been true during
Kansas coach Bill Self s stint.
The atmosphere sends a perfect mes-
sage to recruits: 16,300 people care enough
about basketball to watch a 20-minute,
intra-squad scrimmage. That means Kansas
has a definite advantage over schools that
dont bother to put on Midnight Madness
or that dont attract many fans.
There are very few schools out there
that have kept the tradition alive, said Shay
Wildeboor, senior editor for kansas.rivals.
com. Other schools come and go with it,
but they set the bar. Its a huge tool.
It helped entice freshmen Cole Aldrich
and Tyrel Reed. Aldrich has been to Late
Night three times. Reed has been six times.
It was real impressive having it on Fall
Break and seeing it still packed full, Aldrich
said. Some schools late night may have
five or 10 thousand but when they come
to Kansas, its going to be sold out if its a
championship or a scrimmage.
Not all recruits get hooked after see-
ing Allen Fieldhouse at Late Night. Kyle
Singler visited during Late Night last year
and signed with Duke. Other big-time
prospects, such as Jamal Sampson and
Josh Childress, spurned Kansas for Pac-10
Conference schools after Late Night when
Williams was coach.
Markieff and Marcus Morris, twin power
forwards from Philadelphia, will make their
official visits to Late Night this year. Theyll
see the capacity crowd. Theyll see students
carry mock KU jerseys with their names on
the back.
Theyll see one of the few real Late
Nights.
I think its the best atmosphere in col-
lege basketball, Reed said. The fans here
are great. The tradition is great. Everyone
here loves basketball, and you can just see it
by the fan support we have.

Kansas may have one of the best
evenings to celebrate the beginning of
basketball, but it wasnt the frst school
to do it. No one had heard of Late Night
or Midnight Madness until Lefty Dreisell
came up with the idea in 1970.
Most teams didnt start practicing until
the afternoon of Oct. 15, the frst day
the NCAA allowed practice back then.
Driesell, then Marylands coach, wanted
to get a head start. He had his players
run a mile at midnight, and a couple
hundred fans showed up to watch.
More came the next year, and it soon
became a tradition.

They selected junior guard Brandon
Rush and sophomore forward Darrell
Arthur to the preseason All Big 12 team
Tuesday. Rush tore his ACL in June and
said he was only 70 percent recovered.
Arthur sufered a

Junior guard Mario
Chalmers and sopho-

We have multiple guys who deserve
preseason All-Big 12 recognition, and I
think its great that we had a couple of
guys land on the team with Brandon
and Darrell, Kansas head coach Bill
Self said in a release. I also think Mario,
Sherron, Sasha, Darnell and Russell are
worth mentioning too, because I think
we will be a balanced team.

Kansas State reports own
rules violations to NCAA
The Associated Press reported that
Kansas State has discovered a possible
rules violation. K-State is cooperating
with an NCAA investigation into its
football program. The reported viola-
tions centered on a former university
employee, three former football players
and two current members of the team.
KSU Athletics Director Tim Weiser
said in a conference call with reporters
that the Athletics Department started
investigating allegations of extra ben-
efts and academic misconduct after
they surfaced in March. He said the
former employee understood the rules
and deliberately broke them. Weiser
said the school wont tolerate violations
of NCAA rules.

The Kansas soccer team will
head into fall break on a win-
ning streak. After what seemed
like a never-ending losing rut, the
Jayhawks finally added to the win-
ning side of their record. Now up
to 3-8-2 overall after last weekend,
the team seems poised to keep the
momentum going. Kansas will host
Oklahoma State on Friday at 4 p.m.
and Oklahoma on Sunday at 1 p.m.
at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
SHOWDOWN WITH OSU
The Cowgirls are 8-3-1 this
season and have a 2-2-0 confer-
ence record so far. Most recently,
they took home a 2-1 win against
Baylor. Kansas played Baylor two
weekends ago. After two overtimes,
the game finally ended in a tie.
Both Kansas and Oklahoma State
have been handed losses by Texas
A&M this season, the Jayhawks
lost 5-1, and the Cowgirls lost 2-1.
But the Aggies are the conferences
best team.
OKLAHOMA: TAKE TWO
The second game of the week-
end will pit the Jayhawks against
the Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma,
like Kansas and Oklahoma State,
also lost to Texas A&M this sea-
son, 1-0. The Sooners will come
to Lawrence with a 5-5-2-over-
all record and a 1-3-conference
record.
A REWARD FOR WATCH-
ING THE JAYHAWKS IN
ACTION?
If watching Kansas battle for its
third straight victory isnt convinc-
ing enough for KU fans, the Kansas
Athletics Department has come up
with an extra incentive to see the
Jayhawks in action on Friday night.
The first 1,000 fans who make it to
the game before the first half ends
will receive a voucher for guaran-
teed admission to Late Night in
the Phog.

It appears that Kansas finally
gets a reprieve from its rigorous
Big 12 schedule when last-place
Colorado comes into the Horejsi
Family Athletics Center tonight.
Colorado comes into the 7 p.m.
match with a 5-10 record overall
and 0-7 in the Big 12. But coach
Ray Bechard knows Colorado
isnt a pushover. Bechard saw how
Colorado whipped California, the
No. 10 team in the country, 3-0
earlier this season.
Its typical of this conference,
Bechard said, noting the strength of
the Big 12. Theyll be very hungry
to compete. We have to match that
competitive fire on the other side
of the net.
Kansas, 9-8 and 2-5 in the Big 12,
is coming off three straight losses,
and is still adjusting to life without
sophomore middle blocker Brittany
Williams, who will miss the rest of
the season with a torn ACL.
Kansas began its slide with
a home loss to No. 1 Nebraska,
then fell on the road to Iowa State,
and lost again to Texas A&M on
Saturday. Senior setter/right side
hitter Emily Brown said the team
needed to put their recent struggles
behind them.
You have to move on. You cant
sit around pout about it, Brown
said. You just have to go out and
compete.
LONGHORNS LOOMING
Kansas will go from facing the
bottom team in the Big 12 on
Wednesday to one of the best on
Saturday. Kansas will travel to Austin
to play No. 7 Texas at 6:30 p.m. on
Saturday.
Texas, 10-3 and 5-1 in the Big 12,
is coming off a Sweet 16 appearance
last season and possesses one of the
top players in the country in sopho-
more Destinee Hooker. Hooker, an
Honorable Mention All-America last
year, is averaging 4.79 kills per game
this season. The San Antonio native
is also a track and field standout for
the Longhorns. She is a two-time
defending NCAA national cham-
pion in the high jump.

A
week from today the
U.S. Mens National
Team will face
Switzerland, a country more
renowned for its chocolate than
its soccer, in its second interna-
tional friendly on European soil
this year.
While the Swiss may not
have the firepower Sweden trot-
ted out with Inter Milans gold-
en striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
they are no pushover. The team
was eliminated from the 2006
World Cup without conceding a
goal, losing on penalties. The U.S.
team will find it difficult to break
its streak of European disappoint-
ment.
Much to the chagrin of those
desperate for a win, the 21 play-
ers named to the initial roster
have a distinctively young flavor
as players like Sal Zizzo, Chris
Seitz, Danny Szetela, Preston
Zimmerman and Maurice Edu
will get a chance to experience
national team culture and com-
petition. All but Zimmerman and
Edu competed in the Under-20
World Cup during the summer.
Those bemoaning the ros-
ter selection despite the lack of
European success are missing
the big picture. U.S. coach Bob
Bradley understands that develop-
ing players like Adu, Zizzo and
Michael Bradley could be part
of the foundation that competes
for the 2010 World Cup in South
Africa. The only way to guaran-
tee that they understand what
is required to be successful is to
include them in any successes or
failures.
Although finally succeeding
on foreign soil should be a prior-
ity, Bradley recognizes the need
to acclimate
precocious
U.S. talent to
the rigors of
international
play. Even if the
youngsters play
second fiddle
to the more
established vet-
erans called in,
its important
to expose them
to the speed and quality of play
necessary to succeed on the world
stage as well as introduce them to
the tendencies and habits of their
more experienced teammates.
The players who competed at
the under-20 World Cup represent
the next generation of American
soccer. The sooner they begin
competing against the teams cur-
rent stalwarts the more prepared
they will be when their chance
presents itself. Its a strategy that
the worlds most successful sides
often employ to maintain a talent
base that doesnt become over-
reliant on established players.
Thats not to say there are any
players in the mold of a Lionel
Messi or Wayne Rooney in the
group. But its impossible to know
what to expect from the young
charges without giving them the
chance to play. Odds are some of
these players will become crucial
cogs of the national team setup in
the future. There is no better time
than now to gauge their abilities.
With the Major League Soccer
playoff chase winding down, clubs
cant afford to have national team
regulars like Landon Donovan,
Jimmy Conrad, Eddie Johnson
and Pablo Mastroeni missing
games for a meaningless friendly.
Furthermore, because the game
will be played in Switzerland,
it makes
more logistic
sense to use
European-
based players
rather than
their MLS
counterparts.
Either way
the inclusion
of young tal-
ent bodes well
for Bradley
and U.S. fans
in both the short and long term.
The inclusion of young players
shows how deep the current talent
pool is compared with years past.
By including so many new faces,
Bradley ensures his options in the
future makeup of his squad as the
World Cup approaches.
Fortunately for U.S. fans
Bradley understands the differ-
ence between average interna-
tional teams and ones challenging
for trophies. By identifying and
developing fresh talent he is tak-
ing steps to make certain the U.S.
will one day belong with the latter.

sports 4B wednesday, october 10, 2007
L
ast year, the University
of Florida won both the
mens NCAA champion-
ships in basketball and football.
This was something that had
never been done before in the
history of college athletics. Many
other Division I schools have
had strong programs in both
sports as well, including Big XII
schools Oklahoma and Texas.
Nevertheless, why is it so
hard for schools to have elite
programs in the two major money-
making sports?
This year, several schools have
made a case as to why their foot-
ball programs are some of the best
in the nation, just as their basket-
ball programs are year in and year
out. Kansas has started the season
off with a 5-0 record and its first
Top-25 ranking in 11 years. Ever
since head coach Mark Mangino
arrived on campus, he has said that
this school was going to be a foot-
ball and basketball school. Looks
like his words are finally coming
true.
Several other supposed bas-
ketball schools have also fared
well so far this season. Kentucky
is 5-1 and ranked No. 17 in the
country, while Boston College and
Cincinnati have each started the
year off undefeated at 6-0, ranked
fourth and 15th respectively.
Just because a school is well-
known for basketball doesnt mean
that it has (or ever will have) the
reputation for football. Duke is a
perfect example. Here is a school
that prided itself on being one of
the elite mens basketball programs
each year, but its football program
just recently broke a 22-game los-
ing streak. I always wondered why
some big-named, money-making
schools just arent competitive in
both basketball and football, but
I think its simple it is hard
to build a strong reputation to
include all the star athletes on one
campus. In addition, if the sports
complexes are not there either,
then the top recruits are going to
need a lot more convincing on why
they should choose that school
over some recognized powerhouse.
Coach Mangino has done a
good job of making the football
program more respected and rec-
ognized throughout his tenure at
Kansas. He started with the baby
steps of winning as many games
as he could while trying to figure
out ways to bring in the personnel
and coaches who would push his
teams along and find even more
victories. In his five years as being
head coach, he has had three bowl-
eligible teams, including both of
the past two seasons. Maybe it will
be three in a row?
But lets not get too ahead of
ourselves here. There is still a lot
of football to be played in the next
few weekends, and a ton of things
could happen. Everyone will be
keeping their fingers crossed for
many more victories to come. But
if a meltdown suddenly occurs,
there is always basketball season.

B
ecause of fall break, all of
your fantasy football news
has to be crammed into one
days dosage. This weekend had its
share of surprises and sets up some
interesting scenarios for next weeks
games.
Week 5 revieW
the Best
I could not choose a quarterback
for top performances this week
because both quarterbacks who
threw for more than 300 yards,
The Packers Brett Favre and the
Cowboys Tony Romo, had more
interceptions than touchdowns.
Favres team lost and Romos
Cowboys barely scraped by with
the victory. Here are the top players
who did play well.
Larry Fitzgerald, WR Arizona
After wading through the quag-
mire that was the beginning of the
season, the Arizona wide receiver
has found his Pro Bowl form.
Fitzgerald had nine catches for 136
yards and one touchdown. It will
be interesting to see whether he can
keep his production up.
Ben Watson, TE New England
The Patriots tight end was Tom
Bradys main target on Sunday.
Watson recorded six catches for
107 yards and two touchdowns.
Watson has asserted himself as one
of the top tight ends in the NFL this
season.
Kenton Keith, RB Indianapolis
The Colts had to play without
starting running back Joseph Addai
on Sunday. You could hardly tell
though, as Keith filled in superbly.
Keith had 28 carries for 121 yards
and two touchdowns. If Addai is out
again, the Colts can rely on Keith
for another big game.
Kris Brown, K Houston
Who? The kicker the Steelers gave
up on and let slide to the Texans in
their expansion year in 2002. On
Sunday he had a huge game. He
made all five count em five
field goals he attempted including
three of more than 50 yards. He hit
the game-winning 57-yard field goal
as time expired that gave the Texans
their third victory of the season.
the Worst
Terrell Owens, WR Dallas
The Cowboys wide receiver
faced a passing defense that, after
Monday night, was ranked last
in the NFL. Owens had only two
receptions for 25 yards and multiple
dropped passes. Owens almost cost
the Cowboys the game as well. He
could not hold onto the pass for the
two-point conversion that would
have tied the game. The Cowboys
did get the win though, and Owens
will test his skills against New
England next week.
Larry Johnson, RB Kansas City
The Chiefs as a team had a
terrible performance on Sunday.
Johnson, the running back, added
to the offenses decline. Johnson had
nine carries for 12 yards and has
not looked at all like the running
back he was last year. If the Chiefs
want to have any success this year,
Johnson will have to be a big part
of it.
Jon Kitna, QB Detroit Before
the season began, Kitna predicted a
10-win season. He had the offense
playing like a team that could get 10
wins, but the Lions took a step back
on Sunday. Kitna completed only
16 of his 29 passes for 106 yards,
while throwing two interceptions,
fumbling twice and being sacked
five times. Kitna is the anchor of the
Lions passing game and will need
to get the offense back in form for
their next game.
Week 6 previeW
This weekend will prove a lot.
The undefeated Cowboys host the
undefeated Patriots. Heres who will
please and disappoint this weekend.
Big gamers
Ronnie Brown, RB Miami
Brown has jump-started the run-
ning game for the Dolphins, going
for more than 100 yards rushing
in the last two games. Brown and
the Dolphins face a Cleveland team
that is 30th in the NFL in rushing
defense. All this adds up to a big
day for Brown.
Matt Hasselbeck, QB Seattle
The Seattle quarterback will
be going against the 19th ranked
passing defense of New Orleans on
Sunday. Hasselbeck has had a steady
season so far and playing a porous
New Orleans secondary should
open up big things for him, espe-
cially if Shaun Alexander and the
running game are fine.
no gamers
Matt Schaub, QB Houston
The Texans quarterback will face a
Jacksonville defense that is seventh
in the NFL in passing defense. The
Miami defense was able to bend
but not break against the Houston
passing game, but Jacksonville may
break it completely, especially if
Andre Johnson is not back on the
field.
Donald Driver, WR Green Bay
The Packers have to play the
Redskins on Sunday. The Redskins
have the third best total defense
in the NFL and Driver has been
slumping lately. It could be a long
day for Driver.

Falcons get $20 million
from Vick in arbitration
ATLANTA The Atlanta Falcons
are entitled to recover nearly $20
million in bonus money paid to dis-
graced quarterback Michael Vick,
an arbitrator ruled Tuesday. The
players union vowed to appeal.
Stephen B. Burbank, the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania law professor
and special master who led last
weeks arbitration hearing, sided
with the team after hearing from
Falcons president and general
manager Rich McKay and attorneys
from the NFL Players Association,
which represented Vick.
The Falcons argued that Vick,
who pleaded guilty to federal
charges for his role in a long-run-
ning dogfghting operation, knew
he was in violation of the contract
when he signed a $130 million deal
in December 2004.
The team said he used proceeds
from the contract to fund his illicit
activities and sought the repay-
ment of $19,970,000 in bonuses
he was paid out of a total of $22.5
million in 2005 and 06.
Any money the Falcons recover
from Vick would be credited to
its future salary cap, a huge step
in recovering from the loss of the
teams franchise player. Atlanta (1-
4) is of to a dismal start with Joey
Harrington at quarterback.
We are certainly pleased with
todays ruling, the Falcons said in
a statement. It is the frst step in a
process that our club has under-
taken in an attempt to recoup
signifcant salary cap space that
will allow us to continue to build
our football team today and in
future years.
Vick was suspended indef-
nitely without pay by the NFL after
entering into his plea agreement.
He also lost millions in lucrative
endorsement deals.
We have reviewed the decision
handed down by Special Master
Stephen Burbank and believe it
is incorrect, the NFLPA said in a
statement. We will now appeal his
ruling.
The case goes to U.S. District
Court Judge David Doty in Min-
neapolis, who still has jurisdiction
over the antitrust suit fled by play-
ers following the 1987 strike.

Most teams would dread playing
in Lawrence this weekend. After all,
a crowd of around 50,000 fans will
fill Memorial Stadium eager to wel-
come a newly ranked Kansas team
home.
But after what happened to Baylor
at its stadium last Saturday during a
43-23 defeat to Colorado, the change
of scenery may be encouraging. Not
many fans attended the thrashing at
Floyd Casey Stadium, only 32,276,
but they were more than loud
enough in voicing their frustration
by booing the Bears in the final half.
Its just a sign of the times these
days, Baylor coach Guy Morriss
said. When youre a paid profes-
sional and get booed, its one thing.
But when youre a college kid, lets
not forget these are nothing but big
kids.
In defense of the fans, Baylor real-
ly hasnt shown much to cheer about
in 2007. Two Big 12 opponents in a
row have left the Bears behind en
route to massive victories. Baylors
three wins have come against teams
with a combined record of 4-12.
Years of pent-up dissatisfaction
also reside in Baylor fans. The Bears
havent appeared in a bowl game in
13 years, the longest streak in the
conference by 11 years. Morriss was
hired to make instances like booing
a thing of the past. But not much has
changed five years into his tenure.
Nobody likes to get booed, its
just human nature, Morriss said.
They were probably booing me
more than the kids, I guess, but the
kids hear and it affects them.
Baylors offense has amassed
enough yards to make it competitive.
Junior quarterback Blake Szymanski
ranks ninth in the nation in total
offense with 324 yards per game.
But its the details that have haunt-
ed the Bears. Theyve given away
more turnovers than theyve forced,
committed more than six penalties a
game and arent particularly efficient
on special teams.
Its a combination of all that stuff:
false starts, holding, poor throws,
dropped passes, dumb penalties,
Morriss said. We seem so intent
on beating ourselves and we have
to get them through that. We cer-
tainly arent teaching that stuff by
any means.
Morriss said there would be extra
emphasis on limiting penalties in
practice this week. He also said if the
Bears can improve on those things,
he feels they have enough firepower
to play with anyone in the Big 12.
He doesnt need to convince
Kansas coach Mark Mangino.
Despite the turmoil brewing in
Waco, Mangino said that viewing
Baylors game films made it obvious
that the Bears are capable of better
results through the rest of the year.
Baylor is a very, very good offen-
sive football team, Mangino said.
They are a formidable team and
better than their 3-3 record shows.
The Bears may not have appreci-
ated their fans display of disgust last
weekend. But if the Kansas fans are
booing them in the second half on
Saturday, it should be good news
because it would mean they are still
in the game.

Bears face booing at home
AssociAted Press
Baylor safety Jeremy Williams knocks down umpire Richard Zerr as Colorados Demetrius Sumler picks up yardage on Saturday inWaco, Texas. Baylors
20-point loss led to booing by its home fans.

A versatile passing game
can wreak havoc on a defense.
Cornerbacks wilt in the face of the
pressure that comes with one-on-
one coverage, linebackers neglect
their assignments in the run game
and safeties stay preoccupied with
not allowing the deep pass. The
Baylor Bears passing game is
frighteningly versatile, but it doesnt
worry Kansas junior cornerback
Aqib Talib.
It just means that however many
times they throw the ball 55, 60
well have 55 or 60 opportunities
to get our hands on the ball, Talib
said.
So far this
season, Baylor
has done a
decent job of
keeping the ball
out of the hands
of opposing
defensive backs.
S o p h o mo r e
q u a r t e r b a c k
Blake Szymanskis 302.5 passing
yards per game ranks third in the
Big 12 Conference and his touch-
down-interception ratio is 5-3.
The offense designed by Baylor
coach Guy Morriss is based on
throwing short, quick passes and
spreading ball to a number of dif-
ferent receivers. Sixteen Baylor
players have caught one or more
passes this season and eight play-
ers have hauled in more than 10.
Kansas coach
Mark Mangino
said the Bears
had played bet-
ter than their 3-
3 record would
suggest so far
this season
and that their
offense would
test the Kansas
pass defense.
This team
throws the ball very well, Mangino
said. Theyve got a bunch of guys
catching balls and they distribute
the ball very well so they put stress
on the defense in a lot of areas.
One year ago, Baylors potent
passing attack would have provided
Kansas plenty of cause for concern
considering the weakness of the
Jayhawks pass defense. The inex-
perienced and injury-plagued unit
finished 2006 ranked last in the
nation in passing yards allowed per
game and gave up more than 300
passing yards in five games.
This season, sophomore free
safety Darrell Stuckey is back at
full health and junior strong safety
Patrick Resby and freshman cor-
nerback Chris Harris have provided
steady play alongside Talib, a 2006
All-Big 12 selection. Junior cor-
nerback Kendrick Harper returned
from a preseason arm injury last
week and recorded a crucial inter-
ception. Reserve free safeties Justin
Thornton and Sadiq Muhammed
have helped
out in third-
down situa-
tions.
T h e
r e v a m p e d
Kansas second-
ary is allowing
just 161 pass-
ing yards per
game, which is
first in the Big
12 and eighth
in the nation. The Jayhawks have
intercepted eight passes this sea-
son, including five in the last two
games, two of which came in the
fourth quarter last Saturday against
Kansas State. Saturday, Baylor
will match its greatest strength
Szymanski against a secondary
that is quickly becoming Kansas
most prized unit.
As a secondary, were excited
because we havent had too much
action, Stuckey said. Were excited
to go up against a team that passes
a lot so we can show what we can
truly do.

cross country
Teams ready for weekend race
BY TYLER PASSMORE
tpassmore@kansan.com
The University of
Kansas mens and wom-
ens cross country teams
will head to Terre Haute,
Ind., to compete in the
NCAA Pre-Nationals on
Saturday. Both teams are
coming off strong perfor-
mances in the Roy Griak
Invitational, almost two
weeks ago. With time off, the two
teams should come out full throttle
for teams last tune-up for the Big 12
Championships.
With a trio of runners leading
the mens team last time out, the
Jayhawks want to build on their
recent success. Senior All-Americans
Colby Wissel and Paul Hefferon will
have their last chance to run in a pre-
nationals event, while sophomore
Bret Imgrund looks to continue his
successful season. At the Roy Griak
Invitational, the Jayhawks finished
with a decent-sized gap between
these three and
their other run-
ners, so freshman
Nick Caprario
and sophomore
Dan Van Orsdel
must place higher
for the team to
reach its poten-
tial.
The womens team also had
a strong finish in the Roy Griak
Invitational, with all its
runners finishing closely.
Seniors Hayley Harbert,
Alicia McGregor and Lisa
Morrisey will run in their
last pre-nationals event,
but the Jayhawks will need
their youth to give them
a boost. Sophomores
Lauren Bonds and Allison
Knoll have been impres-
sive this year, and a strong finish
from the two could result in a quality
finish for the women.
The gun is set to sound for the
men at 10 a.m. this weekend, with
the womens race beginning shortly
after at 11:20 a.m. This will be the
two teams last test before they head
to the Big 12 Championships on Oct.
26 in Lubbock, Texas.

ASSOCiATEd PRESS
ATHENS, Ga. Georgia
already has lost two Southeastern
Conference games, and the season
is only halfway done. So, thats it for
the Bulldogs, right?
Hardly.
The SEC East is a microcosm
of college footballs wild, wild year,
with standings that look all out of
whack and each of the six teams
already with at least one confer-
ence loss.
South Carolina, which has
a grand total of one conference
championship in football (and that
was long before the Gamecocks
joined the SEC), is holding down
first place and is ranked No. 7 in the
country. No. 17 Kentucky is right in
the thick of things, and its not even
basketball season yet.
Meanwhile, traditional football
powerhouses Florida and Georgia
already have two conference losses
apiece, though thats not enough to
knock them out of the race. Heck,
theyve got as good a shot as any-
one else to be playing on that first
Saturday of December at the SEC
Championship game in Atlanta.
Usually by now, Tennessee
coach Phillip Fulmer said, its
down to a couple of teams.
Even perennial bringing-up-
the-rear Vanderbilt remains hope-
ful, knowing that its 1-2 record in
the SEC puts the Commodores in
about the same position as every-
one else.
The way the league is this year,
you just never know, Vandy cor-
nerback Myron Lewis said. Two
losses doesnt eliminate you. And
since we havent played anyone in
the East yet, we still feel like we can
do some things.
Before you go off on Lewis for
failing to understand the realities of
college football, such as Vanderbilts
last winning season coming a quar-
ter-century ago, keep this in mind:
Would the Commodores con-
tending for a conference title be any
more ludicrous than Appalachian
State beating Michigan? Or 40-
point underdog Stanford knock-
ing off Stanford? Or South Florida
being ranked No. 5 in the country?
Its just not the way it was, with
certain teams being a little bit bet-
ter than most and certain teams
not being as good as most, Georgia
coach Mark Richt said. Theres
just a lot more equality out there.
Theres a lot of skilled guys who
can make plays and a lot of coaches
who know what theyre doing.
One of those coaches is Steve
Spurrier, who guided Florida to six
SEC titles and one national champi-
onship during an era in which there
was a lot more predictability to the
standings.
The Gators dominated the East
during the early half of the 1990s,
Tennessee came on strong in the lat-
ter part of the decade, and Georgia
became a perennial contender soon
after Richt took over in 2001.
Actually, it was Spurrier who
helped to open things up a bit when
he left for a mediocre stint with the
NFLs Washington Redskins from
2002 to 2003. Florida dropped off
during the fireronzook.com era,
and Georgia was the main benefi-
ciary.
Two years ago, Spurrier returned
to the college game to coach South
Carolina, which went through most
of its history without winning a
bowl game and captured its only
championship as a member of the
Atlantic Coast Conference in 1969.
Suddenly, the Gamecocks have
the look of a contender. In just more
than two years on the job, Spurrier
has already beaten each of the Big
Three Florida, Tennessee and
Georgia and even started to nee-
dle some of his rivals, just like he
did when he had those powerhouse
teams down in the Swamp.
We may have a chance at a big
year, Spurrier said. But right now,
we feel pretty fortunate to be 5-1
starting the second half of this 12-
game season.
Hes wise to hedge his bets. While
the Gamecocks lead the SEC East
with a 3-1 conference record, their
only loss coming in a competitive
game at No. 1 LSU, theres a peril-
ous three-week stretch remaining.
South Carolina travels to No. 25
Tennessee (3-2, 1-1) on Oct. 27,
then goes to West Division rival
Arkansas on Nov. 3, and finally
returns home to face No. 13 Florida
(4-2, 2-2) on Nov. 10.
The defending national champi-
ons have likely knocked themselves
out of the race for No. 1 with two
straight losses. But the Gators cer-
tainly havent given up on capturing
another SEC East title, and possibly
getting another crack at LSU after
the Tigers edged Florida in a 28-24
thriller this past weekend.
The older players, we did talk
about that, Gators coach Urban
Meyer said Tuesday evening. I
actually took a glance at it as well
and saw that everyone has a loss.
That tells you that every game is
going to matter. Its single elimina-
tion, and its exciting.
Florida has the week off before
heading to Lexington to take on
surprising Kentucky (5-1, 1-1),
which had surged into the Top
10 before a sloppy loss at South
Carolina last week.
Tim Tebow, the Gators do-it-all
quarterback, actually believes the
Gators still have a chance at more
than just an SEC East title, even
with two losses.
Its motivation. Were still in the
race, he said. And the way college
football is going this season, if we
finish out well, we might have a
shot at everything.
Georgia (4-2, 2-2) isnt thinking
about titles of any kind after an up-
and-down first half of the season.
The young Bulldogs must
rebound from an embarrass-
ing 35-14 loss at Tennessee when
they hit the road again to take on
Vanderbilt.
It is kind of crazy, Georgia
safety Reshad Jones said. But its a
marathon. Its not where you start,
its where you finish.

SEC teams refuse to give up
AssociAted Press
NEW YORK As Joe Borowski
and the Cleveland Indians celebrated
out on the infield, Joe Torre walked
up the tunnel from the New York
Yankees dugout toward the club-
house perhaps for the final time.
Thoughts of another season ending
early went through his mind.
Its such an empty feeling, he
said. You think its going to last
forever.
While the Indians 6-4 victory
in Game 4 Monday night advanced
them to the AL championship series,
the Yankees wondered whether it
was the end of an era for Torre,
and perhaps Mariano Rivera, Alex
Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, Andy
Pettitte and Roger Clemens, too.
George Steinbrenners title lust
remains unsatisfied, and Torre might
be swept out. He sounded wistful in
what may have been his final night
in pinstripes.
This has been a great 12 years.
Whatever the hell happens from
here on out, Ill look back on these
12 years with great, great pleasure,
he said, as he tried to avoid choking
up. The 12 years just felt like they
were 10 minutes long, to be honest
with you.
He wouldnt address his future.
If I have some options, Ill look
at it because Im certainly not ready
to move somewhere and not do any-
thing, the 67-year-old said.
Grady Sizemore homered to put
Cleveland ahead for good on the
third pitch of the game, then Paul
Byrd and the bullpen closed out the
third straight first-round debacle for
the Yankees.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Damon
Huards MRI showed no damage to
his injured shoulder and the vet-
eran may be ready to start at quar-
terback Sunday against Cincinnati,
Kansas City coach Herm Edwards
said Tuesday.
Well go through practice (on
Wednesday) and see what he can
do, Edwards said. He feels a lot
better. Hes worked out the last two
days.
Huard, 34, sustained what the
Chiefs said was a shoulder contu-
sion on Sunday in a 17-7 loss to
Jacksonville in which Kansas City
rushed for only 10 yards. Backup
Brodie Croyle, a second-year pro the
Chiefs have been hoping to make
their quarterback of the future,
replaced Huard in the fourth quarter
and threw a 13-yard touchdown pass
on the final play.
Damon felt OK today, but he
hasnt thrown, Edwards said
Tuesday. So well have to see where
hes at throwing the ball. And well go
through our practice schedule like
we always do. Brodie always takes
a lot of (practice plays). If Damon
can do it and he feels good, then
hell go.
Whoever steps in at quarterback
will be directing what has been thus
far one of the NFLs most feeble
attacks. The Chiefs (2-3) are averag-
ing a paltry 66 yards rushing per
game what used to be a decent
first half for Larry Johnson.
And Johnson? The two-time Pro
Bowler is 22nd on this weeks league
rushing charts with only 275 yards.
He has a very meager 3.3 yard aver-
age per carry and has scored, in five
games, not a single touchdown.
If the NFL kept track of number
of helmets hurled to the ground in
anger and disgust, Johnson would be
among the league leaders. The some-
times-moody running back has been
criticized for his flashes of temper
as well as his sharply declining pro-
duction after missing training camp
and signing a six-year, $45 million
deal. Johnson ran for only 12 yards
on nine carries Sunday against the
Jaguars.

CHICAGO There are young
ones, old ones, thin ones and fat
ones. Some show up in chicken
suits, others in G-strings. There are
highly trained athletes, of course,
but also many people who look like
a starting line is, well, the last place
they should be.
These days, big-city marathons
cast an increasingly wide net, draw-
ing tens of thousands of serious and
not-so-serious runners to presti-
gious races in New York, Chicago,
Boston and elsewhere.
The incentive to draw as many
people as possible is clear enough:
The 26.2-mile marathons generate
millions of dollars for cities that
host them, as well as for the sport-
ing-goods industry.
The bottom line is marathons
today are big business, said Patrick
Moscaritolo, head of the Greater
Boston Convention and Visitors
Bureau.
But after a brutally hot Chicago
Marathon descended into disarray
this past weekend with hundreds
of runners vomiting or collapsing
and organizers forced to call off
the race questions have been
raised about whether marathons
have become too all-inclusive and
too focused on money.
They certainly have grown
and fast.
The number of people taking
part in the Boston Marathon, for
instance, has more than doubled
over the past decade, despite the
race requiring qualifying times
for most runners. From 1997
to 2007, the number of runners
grew from 10,471 to 23,869, said
Boston Marathon spokesman Marc
Chalufour.
The Chicago Marathon, which
has no qualification requirements,
has grown from around 16,000
runners pre-registering in 1997
to around 45,000 pre-registering
for Sundays marathon. The actual
number of runners was estimated
at 36,000 because 10,000 entrants
didnt show up at the starting line.
The boom began back in the
1970s when runners Bill Rogers
and Frank Shorter helped make
marathons popular in the United
States.
Today, the marathon has become
the everyday mans or womans
Mount Everest, said Richard Finn,
the spokesman for the New York
Road Runners, which organizes the
New York City Marathon. Its a
physical challenge; its something
you can be proud of beat your
chest about later.
But the extreme runs can also
be dangerous, as evidenced by the
hundreds of runners who suffered
heat exhaustion and heat stroke
during Sundays race in Chicago.

BERLIN An Iranian-born
German soccer players refusal to
play in Israel has sparked a pub-
lic outcry in Germany, with some
Jewish leaders calling Tuesday for
his exclusion from the German
national team.
Ashkan Dejagah, who moved to
Germany as a child, pulled out of
Fridays game in Tel Aviv a quali-
fication match for the European
Under-21 Championship citing
political reasons.
I have more Iranian than
German blood in my veins. I am
doing it out of respect. After all, my
parents are Iranian, the 21-year-
old midfielder told the Berlin daily
tabloid B.Z.
The German soccer federation
has accepted his decision.
I have accepted the coachs deci-
sion because he explained to me
that the player has personal rea-
sons, President Theo Zwanziger
said in a state-
ment posted to
the federation
Web site. He
did not imme-
diately return
repeated calls
for comment
Tuesday.
The president
of the Central
Council of Jews
in Germany,
C h a r l o t t e
K n o b l o c h ,
called Dejagahs
behavior deeply unsportsmanlike.
Germany is aware of its histori-
cal responsibility ... and it would be a
big affront if this anti-Israeli behav-
ior would be tolerated, Knobloch
said in a statement. I therefore
expect the (soccer federation) to
exclude the player from the German
national team.
The vice president of the Central
Council, Dieter Graumann, told
Spiegel Online it
was unthinkable
for a German
national player
to wage a private
boycott against
Israel.
It is not the
first time an
Iranian ath-
lete has refused
to compete in
Israel, a country
whose existence
the hard-line
Islamic regime
in Iran has refused to recognize. In
recent months, Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has drawn
international criticism for publicly
questioning the Nazi Holocaust and
for calling for Israel to be wiped
off the map.
In 2004, Bayern Munich played
a Champions League game against
Maccabi Tel Aviv without a key
Iranian player who had been warned
by his country not to travel to the
Jewish state.
The Iranian sports federation
had said striker Vahid Hashemian
would face consequences at home if
he traveled to Israel.
Hashemians official reason for
not attending the game was a back
injury.
During the 2004 Olympics Games
in Athens, an Iranian judo champi-
on reportedly said he wouldnt fight
an Israeli opponent, then claimed
he was too overweight for the bout
with Israels Ehud Vaks.
He was disqualified. The
International Judo Federation later
concluded that he was not over-
weight.
At the 2001 judo world champi-
onships, Mahed Malekmohammadi
of Iran did not compete against Yoel
Razvozov of Israel.

TORONTO Matt Cullen
scored for the first time since return-
ing to the Hurricanes, and six others
added goals in Carolinas 7-1 rout of
the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday
night.
Cullen, traded back to Carolina
during the summer after one sea-
son with the New York Rangers,
scored a power-play goal that gave
the Hurricanes a 3-1 lead in the sec-
ond period.
Justin Williams, Cory Stillman,
Ray Whitney, Scott Walker, Jeff
Hamilton and Eric Staal also
scored against goalie Vesa Toskala.
Williams, Stillman, Cullen and Rod
BrindAmour each had two assists.
Bryan McCabe scored the only
Toronto goal.
Mats Sundins assist on McCabes
goal was his 916th point with the
Maple Leafs, tying him with Darryl
Sittler for the club record.
The thoughts of both teams and
the announced crowd of 19,224 were
with Maple Leafs forward Jason
Blake, who played his first game
since going public with the news
Monday that he is battling chronic
myelogenous leukemia a rare
form of the disease.
He is being treated with medica-
tion and doesnt expect to miss any
playing time. Blake looked strong
when he checked Tim Gleason
against the end boards in the games
opening minute.
Toronto had a two-man advan-
tage when McCabe opened the scor-
ing at 4:21. Sundin sent a cross-ice
pass into the circle to the left of the
net to McCabe, who smacked the
puck behind goalie Cam Ward.
Williams tied it at 6:46 by sending
a wrist shot past Toskala as the goalie
dropped to his knees.
Blake nearly scored his first goal
as a Leaf when he tipped a pass, but
Ward made the save.
Stillman put Carolina up 2-1
with a power-play goal 23.8 sec-
onds before the end of the period.
Stillman made his season debut after
missing three games following a car
accident.
Cullen made it 3-1 at 11:41 of the
second period. He was a few feet in
front of Toskala when he deflected
in Stillmans pass as Darcy Tucker
served an interference penalty.
Whitney made it 4-1 when he
slipped a shot between Toskalas legs
on a breakaway at 17:23.

CLEVELAND Ray Chapmans
spirit could be floating the Cleveland
Indians through a season unlike
any other in their history.
Strange, unexplainable, improb-
able, head-scratching events have
surrounded this team for months,
beginning almost from the moment
the Indians rediscovered a lost piece
of Chapmans legacy.
Unexpected snowstorms, thrill-
ing comebacks, unlikely heroes,
invading bugs who swarmed the
New York Yankees in the playoffs.
Its been downright eerie for
the Indians, who play their home
games a few tape-measure home
runs from the shores of Lake Erie.
And Chapman, a popular short-
stop killed by a pitch that struck
him in the head on Aug. 17, 1920,
has hung around to witness it all.
In March, when the Indians
opened Heritage Park, a walk-
through exhibit beyond the cen-
ter-field wall at Jacobs Field hon-
oring the clubs storied history, a
forgotten plaque of Chapman was
unveiled and mounted on a wall
facing home plate.
The gorgeous bronze memo-
rial had been stashed away inside a
crate when the Indians moved from
Municipal Stadium to the Jake in
1994. Workers discovered it while
cleaning out a storage room.
Years of neglect had made the
plaques text illegible, but it was
refurbished and placed alongside
those honoring Hall of Famers Bob
Feller, Bob Lemon, Larry Doby,
Lou Boudreau and other Cleveland
baseball greats.
Chapmans tragic saga had been
reborn.
Things havent been the same for
the Indians since.
The clubs home opener on April
6 was postponed when a freak spring
storm dumped more than 2 feet
of lake-effect snow on Cleveland,
which until that point had been
enjoying a rare, mild winter.
Weirdest thing Ive ever seen,
said Jim Folk, the clubs vice presi-
dent of ballpark operations. By
far.
The snow started falling on a
Friday and didnt stop for three days,
forcing the club to reschedule a four-
game series with Seattle throughout
the season. More bad weather sent
the Indians to Milwaukee to play
their next home series against the
Los Angeles Angels under Miller
Parks roof.
On Sept. 26, the Indians, who
will meet the Boston Red Sox in
the ALCS starting Friday, were the
home team at Seattles Safeco
Field three home games in three
cities.
Last week, millions of tiny insects
called midges, descended upon
the Jake in Game 2 of the playoffs
and buzzed Yankees reliever Joba
Chamberlain, who threw two wild
pitches in the eighth inning to help
the Indians tie it 1-1 in a game
theyd win 2-1 in 11 innings.
This team, manager Eric
Wedge said, has seen it all.
Cleveland didnt take over first
place in the AL Central for good
until Aug. 17 the 87th anniver-
sary of Chapmans death.
Raymond Johnson Chapmans
grave sits under a giant maple tree at
historic Lake View Cemetery, where
President James A. Garfield, famed
detective Eliot Ness and industrial-
ist John D. Rockefeller are among
the other famously interred.
Baylor returns to Lawrence

With so much focus on

whats right Jordan Lake.
The sopho-

ing camp

turning into
the catalyst
the defense
needs. Lake
has recorded
55 tackles, two interceptions,
two forced fumbles and two

The Jayhawk secondary has
been ferocious against the pass
this season. But all the Bears
know how to do ofensively is
pass and pass some more.
How will the defense
stop Brandon McAnderson
and Jake Sharp? Big, physical
running backs have tormented
the Bears so far this year. Under-
sized, quick running backs have
done similar damage. They face
both on Saturday.
In coach Mark Manginos frst
fve seasons at Kansas, he has
presided over several exciting
ofenses and strong defensive
units, but never before has he
enjoyed both at the same time.
The 2007 Jayhawks could be
Manginos frst team that gets
the job done on both sides of
the ball and the most balanced
bunch to grace Memorial
Stadium in quite some time.
The teams potent ofense and
sturdy defense have paid divi-
dends so far the Jayhawks
are 5-0 and sitting atop the Big

Baylor senior

The Bears use Whitaker all over
the feld as a versatile receiver
out of the backfeld. Mortensen,
frst in the Big 12 with 10 tack-
les-for-loss, will be in charge of
tracking down the elusive back.
Will Kansas keep its
mental edge? Mangino has
repeatedly praised his teams
ability to overcome adversity
and the mental edge his players
possessed. Will Kansas be able
to sift through all of the positive
press clippings and stay focused
on the game?
How creative will Ed
Warinner get? So far this
season, the adventurous Kansas
ofensive coordinator has done
everything short of stepping
onto the feld himself, but it
feels like he could have a few
more play-calling tricks up his
sleeve.

The bad news: the Jayhawk ofense did not display nearly as
much precision against Kansas State as it had earlier in the sea-
son. The good news: the ofense was still balanced and efcient
enough to score 30 points and gain nearly six yards per play
against a proven KSU defense. Senior running back Brandon
McAnderson has not slowed down since starting the season
strong, and sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing has shown a
remarkable capability to lead teammates through adversity.
dEfEnSE
Faced with its frst true challenge of the season last week-
end at Kansas State, the Kansas defense performed admirably.
Sure, there was an inexcusable illegal substitution penalty that
almost cost the Jayhawks the game, and junior cornerback Aqib
Talib actually got burned by a receiver, Kansas States Jordy
Nelson. But senior defensive tackle James McClinton showed
why he is considered one of the Big 12s best run-stoppers, as
the Jayhawks allowed just 70 rushing yards.
SpEciAL tEAMS
The unit that started the season as a defnite strength has
become the Jayhawks most glaring faw. Both the punt cover-
age and punt return teams were abysmal against Kansas State.
Senior punter Kyle Tucker averaged just 32.5 yards per punt,
though most came against a strong wind. Sophomore wide
receiver Raimond Pendleton looked disoriented every time he
tried to feld a punt. Freshman linebacker Dakota Lewis com-
mitted a costly roughing the kicker penalty. And a failed extra
point attempt made Kansas slim fourth-quarter lead six points
instead of seven.
MOMEntuM
Its safe to say the Jayhawks have some steam heading
into their second conference matchup. The team is coming
of of an emotional upset of its in-state rival proba-
bly the biggest win of the Mark Mangino era and
is ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for the frst
time in 11 seasons. Everything is falling into place
for Kansas football.
cOAcHing
In retrospect, the Jayhawks ofensive
coaches may have outsmarted themselves
last Saturday. The team killed a promising
second half drive when it failed to convert
on a fourth-and-one deep in Kansas State terri-
tory. On the other hand, Mangino kept Kansas
State guessing by using strange personnel
combinations and throwing the ball to
Talib and sophomore quarterback Kerry
Meier. And any coach who orchestrates a
5-0 start deserves quite a bit of credit.

OffEnSE
The Bears passing game: outstanding. The Bears rushing game:
awful. Two years ago, then-sophomore running back Brandon
Whitaker emerged as a playmaker by averaging 4.8 yards per carry.
But Whitaker has never reached the potential he showed then and
only averages 3.6 yards per carry this year. Now, Whitaker is more
of a receiving threat out of the backfeld and leads the team with
24 receptions. He is one of many target for sophomore quarter-
back Blake Szymanski, who averages 302 yard per game. Four
receivers have caught at least 15 passes.
dEfEnSE
The Baylor defenses struggles appear mysterious when con-
sidering the amount of talent. Earlier in the season, the defense
allowed 27 points to an FCS opponent, Texas State, and 20 points
to inept FBS opponent Bufalo. But sophomore middle linebacker
Joe Pawelek is an All-American candidate. Senior Nick Moore plays
directly adjacent to Pawelek as the other linebacker and fies to
the ball. In Baylors base 4-2-5 defensive scheme, many defensive
backs rotate into the game, including free safety Jordan Lake, who
has returned from a collar bone injury to lead the team in tackles
and interceptions.
SpEciAL tEAMS
The Bears rank 95th in the nation in net punting. Kicker Shea
Brewster has converted only three of seven feld goals. Baylors
kick returners average fewer than 17 yards per return. The only
good news for Baylor is that Kansas special teams looked just as
bad in its win against Kansas State. The only way Baylor can win
the feld-position battle through special teams is if the Jayhawks
woes continue.
MOMEntuM
The Bears have lost their last two games by a com-
bined score of 77-33. Their ofense is suddenly sput-
tering and showing signs of slowing down at certain
points of the game. This is problematic for
the Bears because the defense is simply
incapable of shouldering the load.
However, if the Bears can produce
a couple big plays early against a
highly-touted Jayhawk secondary,
their confdence could quickly
spike back up.
cOAcHing
For four years, no one
questioned whether Guy
Morriss was the right guy
for the job in Waco, Texas.
Morriss coached Baylor to
its frst victory against a
top-25 opponent in the
Big 12 in 2004, brought
Baylor its frst-ever Big
12 road victory in 2005
and only missed bowl eligibility
by one game in 2006. But now
Morriss is in the middle of his ffth
year and has compiled only an
18-34 overall record for the Bears.
The program has improved, but to
what extent?
