After four and a half months on the
ground in Afghanistan, one thing Brad
Arsenault, a 1991 KU graduate, is sure of
is this: Theres no such thing as a typical
day in Farah, 400 miles southwest of the
Afghanistan capital, Kabul.
Arsenault, the man on the ground for
the United States Agency for International
Development, has had to adapt quickly to
an extreme level of security, an ongoing
epidemic of opium production and a host
of infrastructure problems.
We have a really difficult situation in
Farah, said Arsenault. Whenever I do
travel, its with a lot of security. If I want
to see something, we have to mobilize a lot
of people armored HMMVs, body armor
the security is just another layer to deal
with trying to get to the projects and get
things done.
Arsenault is USAIDs field program offi-
cer to the Integrated Command Team in
Farah, which also includes a military com-
mander and representatives from the U.S.
Departments of Agriculture and State.
Much of Arsenaults day-to-day work
involves working with the elected pro-
vincial council in Farah on issues such as
education, infrastructure and agriculture.
Although USAID doesnt participate in
opium eradication, Arsenault helps to pro-
mote alternative agriculture programs to
make other crops, such as wheat, fruit and
vegetables, more marketable products for
Afghan farmers.
Farah used to have a vibrant, dynamic
and active agricultural base, said Arsenault.
But after the Soviet invasion, the soil just
kind of deteriorated.
But beyond developing more crops,
there are also issues of highway develop-
ment and water management.
Only about 18 percent of Afghanistan
can be cultivated, Arsenault said. So
youve got a small amount of land to work
with, and what you have has to be at maxi-
mum production.
Arsenault said nothing could have fully
prepared him for this experience.
Afghanistan is an isolated place, said
Arsenault. Its not like any other place Ive
ever worked.
Arsenault said that students interested
in working in the international develop-
ment community can best begin preparing
themselves by reading a variety of news
sources.
Pay attention to a given situation
from a global point of view see what
a Chinese journalist is saying, or what an
African journalist is saying, Arsenault
said. Try to begin developing ways of
analyzing a problem or situation from the
point of view of as many different cultures
as you can.
Additionally, Arsenault said that both
his work in the Peace Corps and his gradu-
ate degree made him much more valuable
in the foreign service field.
When you get into international work,
thats what people want to see, Arsenault
said. Having Peace Corps on your resume
lets people know that you can tough it out
in a poor, developing place for a couple of
years without a lot of resources it just
gives you a little street credit.
The journey from receiving his under-
graduate degree in English to promoting
development projects in the Middle East
wasnt a short one for Arsenault, or even
direct. Arsenault participated in study
abroad programs, piquing his interest in
development work in undeveloped areas.
After leaving the University, Arsenault
spent two and a half years in the Peace
Corps, primarily in Central Africa, teach-
ing basic masonry and carpentry skills,
before returning to Chicago, his home-
town. After another six years of roving
from one employer to another, he enrolled
in a graduate program in urban planning
and policy. He returned to Africa working
for a number of non-governmental orga-
nizations from 2001 to 2004 in Guinea,
Sierra Leon, the Ivory Coast and a half-
dozen other countries. None of these coun-
tries could have entirely prepared him for
his current assignment, however.
While Arsenault said he typically tried
to return to the United States at least once
every six months, he also realized that the
situation in Afghanistan would probably
outlast his own service.
Its going forward, Arsenault said.
But its not going forward quickly.

Cast members and musicians worked
yesterday to create an original cast record-
ing of The Girl, the Grouch and the Goat,
a musical by Jack Helbig and Tony Award
winner Mark Hollmanhe. The recording
will be used by Helbig and Hollman when
they send out promotional materials for
the musical.
The musical debuted at the University
this summer and was originally going to
be performed again in August but was can-
celed because of scheduling conflicts. John
Staniunas, associate professor and chair of
the department of theater and film, said
recording all 18 songs would give the cast
an opportunity to say goodbye to the musi-
cal.
I wanted the cast to have closure on the
show, Staniunas said.
After contacting a variety of recording
studios in the Kansas City area, Staniunas
decided to go with LA Audio in Olathe.
Lynn Allred recorded the music and said
it would take about a week to complete the
editing and mixing.
Four musicians played the piano, clari-
net, flute, harp and various percussion
instruments for the show. Ben Shellhaas,
Grand Island, Neb., graduate student,
played seven instruments including a drum
set, marimba and triangle.
Its fun to draw on all your expertise,
Shellhaas said.
Barbara Puckett, program assistant with
the department of theater and film and
music director for the show, said one of
the most challenging parts of making the
recording was finding a balance between
the instruments and the singers.
Its just a matter of getting everybody
on the same page, Puckett said.
Jeff Sears, Overland Park junior, played
the grouch and said making the record-
ing would also be challenging because it
wouldnt be as dramatic as performing the
story on stage.
You have to create character on the
spot and put it into your voice, Sear said.
Students will have the opportunity to
add the recording to their resumes. Logan
Walker, Holcomb senior, said he would
take it on casting calls and give it to pro-
spective agents.
It is definitely going to help in my
career, Walker said.
The musical tells the story of a grouch
in ancient Greece who, during a 20-year
drought, has a monopoly on the towns
only well. When the grouchs son falls
in love with his rivals daughter, he must
accept that their love could be the only way
to please the gods and end the drought.
Sears said being part of the original cast
gave students the opportunity to leave their
marks on the characters and the show.
There is something so rewarding about
creating and owning a character that has
never been seen or heard before, Sears
said. The sense of freedom is exhilarating
to say the least.

Education students are pulling up
chairs next to the dean for free lunch
and good conversation.
Since Dean Rick Ginsberg came to
the School of Education three years ago,
he has been putting time and energy
into a program called Dine with the
Dean.
The program allows groups of 15
students to become acquainted with
Ginsberg and speak to him about any-
thing they might like or dislike about
the school.
This is their vehicle to get to know
me and ask questions, Ginsberg said.
Its how I can get feedback on whats
going well in the school and what stu-
dents like.
In the past, Ginsberg said he had felt
somewhat disconnected from the stu-
dents. He said the Dine with the Dean
meetings provided him with a better
sense of how the education program
should be structured.
Generating interest in this program
was a struggle for Ginsberg at first, but
this semester a significant number of
students have signed up to participate.
I dont think a lot of people knew
about it in the past, said Chris Barritt,
administrative assistant to the dean.
But now Ginsbergs head is posted in
the main office window, so that might
be why.
After the sizable photo of Ginsberg
was posted, students have been filling

Communicating a message:
thats what the Public Relations
Student Society of America is all
about. Learning about the public
relations field, connecting with
professionals, and gaining first-
hand experience in public relations
campaigns are just some of the
things that club members hope to
do as part of PRSSA.
Each meeting, the club invites
a speaker from a different pro-
fessional area of public relations
to give members an idea of what
kind of career opportunities
exist.
Hannah Hartman-Frost, PRSSA
president, said the club tried to
bring in speakers from all realms of
public relations, including corpo-
rate, sports, non-profit and enter-
tainment.
We like to, within a semester,
cover as many topics as we can,
Hartman-Frost said.
Patty Noland, PRSSA faculty
adviser, said public relations itself
was a very broad field that can
encompass a wide range of careers.
Although the job market is
extremely diverse, the general goal
of public relations remains the
same, she said.
Basically what youre doing is
getting information to the public
about the organization for which
youre working, usually trying to
communicate a message about
your organi-
zation ... to
a particular
a u d i e n c e ,
Noland said.
The kind of
overall defini-
tion is to con-
vey positive
messages to
audiences.
M e g a n
P e n r o d ,
L e a w o o d
senior and PRSSA director of pro-
fessional development, said that
public relations was the art of
influencing public opinion.
Its how the public perceives
your business or your organization
and influencing that, Penrod said.
Aside from meeting profession-
als and learn-
ing about PR
itself, the club
gives members
the opportu-
nity to practice
their skills by
working on
real PR cam-
paigns through
J a y h a w k
C o m m u n -
ications, which
i s PRSSAs
student-run PR firm, which takes
on real clients to solve public rela-
tions challenges.
Taylor Wofford, Dallas
senior and director of Jayhawk
Communications, said two poten-
tial clients for this year were the KU
Writing Center and the KU Mens
Hockey Team.
We do everything that a for-
profit PR firm does, including
research, planning, executing stra-
tegic campaigns and evaluation of
those campaigns, Wofford said.
Were always on the lookout for
new and interesting clients. When
we select a client, were look-
ing for freshness, potential and
social importance. Since most of
our work at this time is pro-bono,
we look for clients that couldnt
normally afford a full-time PR
agency.
Public relations, in academ-
ics, is part of the strategic com-
munications major in the School
of Journalism, but all majors are
encouraged to attend.
Hartman-Frost said that because
of the scope that public relations
can cover, students from many dif-
ferent majors may be interested in
joining PRSSA.
Penrod, a communication stud-
ies major, said she joined the club
because she wasnt sure of her
career goals. Now she is looking for
potential jobs and internships in
public relations.
PRSSAs first meeting of the year
features a member of corporate
public relations and graduate of
the KU school of journalism, Sara
Miller, from UMB Bank.
PRSSA meets tomorrow at 7 p.m.
in Dole 2092, followed by Jayhawk
Communications.

When KJHK leaves the Sudler
House in Fall 2009, its neighbors
could be able to use the buildings
space as long as they can pay
the buildings tab.
The Kansas Audio Reader
Network, which provides news
for people with visual impair-
ments and is broadcast by Kansas
Public Radio, operates out of the
Sudler Annex, a few yards away
from the Sudler House. The net-
work would use the building to
help sort and store auction items
like compact discs and cassette
tapes for its annual sale For
Your Ears Only as well as for
facilities operations. KPRs use of
the building depends on whether
the station can pay to restore the
building to the Americans with
Disability Acts compliance codes.
Tom Johnson, KJHK general
manager and faculty advisor, said
the building still had a way to go
before it would meet standards.
It will take a lot of money
to get it up to code if it were
to become a public building, he
said.
The renovations would cost an
estimated $300,000. They include
installing fire sprinklers, railings
and possibly an elevator.
Don Steeples, senior vice pro-
vost, who is kept informed on the
status of the Sudler House, named
the Kade Center the next likely
candidate to use the building if
KPR were unable to pay.
The Kade Center operates in
a building a couple of feet away
from the Sudler House. The two
properties were built together in
1929, with the Sudler House serv-
ing as a stable for horses. The
center plans to restore the Sudler
House to its original state as a
companion building.
These plans depend on the Kade
Centers ability to afford them. For
now though, Steeples said, Until
theyve (Kade Center) got several
thousand dollars to update it, its
going to Audio Reader.

Investigating cause
of fatal train collision
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Los Angeles frefghters hand a victimfromtrain car to waiting Los Angeles Police ofcers at the scene of a train accident in Los Angeles on
Friday. A Metrolink commuter train believed to be carrying up to 350 people collided with a freight train, killing 25 people and injuring 135.
Officials deny rumors of text-messaging by conductor
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Federal
investigators on Sunday combed
railroad tracks and crushed wreck-
age looking for evidence to explain
the nations deadliest rail disaster in
15 years and made plans to inter-
view dispatchers.
At the same time, a National
Transportation Safety Board
spokesman played down a report
that the engi-
neer of the
Me t r o l i n k
c o m mu t e r
train had sent
a text message
shortly before
Fridays acci-
dent, in which
25 people were
killed and 135
were injured.
The train
slammed into
an oncoming
Union Pacific freight engine on the
same track at 40 mph.
Metrolink spokeswoman Denise
Tyrrell had said the commuter
trains engineer was at fault because
he failed to stop at a red light on the
tracks but NTSB members cau-
tioned that they had not completed
their investigation.
Eleven NTSB investigators were
working on the accident, said agen-
cy spokesman Terry Williams.
Men wearing green and orange
safety vests walked up and down
the tracks in an early morning fog,
while others snapped pictures and
climbed inside the wrecked shell of
the front passenger car.
Williams said he couldnt con-
firm reports that the engineer was
text messaging shortly before the
crash, but said investigators would
consider that.
Were going to look into that,
anything that can help us find the
cause of this accident, he said.
Dr. Marc
Eckstein, medi-
cal director
for the Los
Angeles Fire
De pa r t me nt ,
said survivors
injuries includ-
ed partially
severed limbs
and legs flayed
to the bone. At
least two survi-
vors had to be
extricated from
underneath dead bodies and six
victims were discovered under the
train Saturday, he said.
There were bodies cut in half,
and I could see torsos sticking out.
It was pretty horrific, Eckstein
said. The bodies were entwined
with the wreckage.
Eckstein said all rescue person-
nel were required to check in with
a staff psychologist before leaving
the scene but many, including
himself, preferred to deal privately
with what they saw.
All you can do is go home and
hug your wife and kids, I guess, he
said. These people were regular
working people like you and I and
headed home looking forward to a
weekend with their families and
theyre dead in an instant.
Rescue crews recovered two
data recorders Saturday from
the Metrolink train and one data
recorder and one video recorder
from the freight train. The video
has pictures from forward-looking
cameras and the data recorders
have information on speed, brak-
ing patterns and whether the horn
was used.
Families of victims struggled
with their loss after the coroners
office released a partial list of the
names of the dead. Among them
was a Los Angeles police offi-
cer and a city employee who was
believed to work in the general
services office, said Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa.
Spree Desha, 35, had worked for
the police department for seven
years and spent much of her career
training new officers. She had been
honored 34 times for performance
and professional qualities.
She sat in the first train (car)
as a matter of practice, in uniform,
so if someone came on the train
and made trouble, she was ready
to help out, Assistant Chief Jim
McDonnell said. That was just the
way she did business.

BAGHDAD U.S. Gen. David
Petraeus said Sunday that experi-
ence in Iraq shows it will take
political and economic prog-
ress as well as military action
to tackle increased violence in
Afghanistan.
You dont kill or capture
your way out of an industrial
strength insurgency, he told The
Associated Press in a telephone
interview.
His comments come as a
debate over the need to redeploy
troops from Iraq to Afghanistan
has become a central issue in the
U.S. presidential campaign.
Petraeus, who is widely cred-
ited with pulling Iraq back from
the brink of civil war, is tak-
ing over as chief of U.S. Central
Command, the headquarters
overseeing U.S. military involve-
ment throughout the Middle East,
as well as Afghanistan and the rest
of Central Asia.
Hell hand over the reins in Iraq
to Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno Tuesday
during a ceremony at the U.S.
military headquarters at Camp
Victory on the western outskirts
of Baghdad.
Petraeus counterinsurgency
strategy has paid off in Iraq, where
the number of attacks has dropped
to its lowest point in more than
four years. But he will face a new
challenge with violence rising in
Afghanistan.
It will be a delicate balancing
act to tackle a resurgent Taliban
enjoying refuge in the lawless bor-
der areas of Pakistan without los-
ing ground in Iraq.
Weve got a situation in
Afghanistan where clearly there
have been trends headed in the
wrong direction, Petraeus said.
Military action is absolutely nec-
essary but it is not sufficient.
Political, economic and diplo-
matic activity is critical to capital-
ize on gains in the security arena,
he said.
The 55-year-old general
assumed control of U.S. forces in
Iraq about 19 months ago after
President Bush ordered some
30,000 additional American forces
to Iraq as part of a so-called surge
aimed at stopping spiraling Sunni-
Shiite sectarian violence.
The reason for the decline in
violence is hotly debated, but
the U.S. military cites the troop
buildup, along with a Sunni revolt
that saw former insurgents turn
against al-Qaida in Iraq and a
Shiite militia cease-fire ordered by
a strident American foe Muqtada
al-Sadr.

Wave the Wheat. Rock Chalk
Jayhawk. Win or lose, well still
booze.
These phrases adorn the backs
of hundreds of T-shirts around
campus every day, sported by
proud Jayhawks who most like-
ly dont know where their shirts
come from. But Ben Jefferies,
Tonganoxie junior, does, and that
awareness prompted him to form
KU Students Against Sweatshops
this year.
The goal of KUSAS is to end
KUs participation in the sweatshop
economy. Jefferies defines a sweat-
shop as a factory where workers
are not able to form unions, or earn
high enough wages to solely sup-
port themselves and their families.
The first official semester for
KUSAS has kicked off with the
extensive research into the facto-
ries that produce Kansas apparel
and how the clothes are made.
KUSAS compiled a list of facto-
ries the University buys clothing
from, but research is still ongo-
ing.
Tailan Chi, associate profes-
sor of international business, said
it could be difficult to find and
define a sweatshop because local
regulations vary greatly between
countries.
Some countries with lower
incomes cant afford to have fac-
tory regulations that seem appro-
priate to a developed society like
ours, said Chi. They cant be held
to our standards.
Two hundred universities
around the country have their
own chapters of Students Against
Sweatshops. Jefferies wants KU to
join the ranks of 48 universities
who have achieved the ultimate
goal: a license from the Designated
Suppliers Program.
The DSP is a program that
protects the rights of workers
who sew university logo apparel.
A license from the DSP would
ensure that individual factories
that produce KU apparel are heav-
ily monitored.
The University is licensed by
the Fair Labor Association, but
Jefferies isnt satisfied. He said rep-
resentatives from Nike, Adidas and
Reebok sat on the board of the
FLA, creating a conflict of interest.
The DSP is under the Workers
Rights Consortium, which is com-
pletely independent of corpora-
tions like Nike and Adidas, and has
much stricter enforcement mecha-
nisms, said Jefferies. It would
actually ensure that workers rights
are respected.
Even with monitored regula-
tions in place, it can still be dif-
ficult to know what will go on in
the factories.
Its challenging to enforce these
regulations, Chi said. Every orga-
nization has its own self interest.
You can try to control it, but its
never perfect.
Despite the odds, Jefferies said

Three third-year KU law stu-
dents walk into the upstairs office
of the Hall Building in Kansas
City, Kan., at 9:15 a.m. Theyve
sat through countless hours of
law courses, ran through cases
and filled out
p a p e r wo r k .
But this is no
class. Today
they will work
to solve the
legal problems
of real clients.
The stu-
dents work
at Southwest
B o u l e v a r d
Family Health
Legal Services
Clinic. The legal clinic is for low-
income clients who cant afford
medical services or legal aid.
David Gottlieb, associate dean of
clinical programs at the University,
said the idea for the clinic came
from medical professionals who
discovered their patients legal
problems often hindered complete
recovery of their health.
If somebody comes in and
is injured because they are in
an abusive relationship, treating
their bruises will ultimately be
futile, Gottlieb said.
The clinic, which has been open
since January, recently received a
$300,000 grant from the Topeka-
based Sunflower Foundation.
Patricia Thomas, the clinics
staff attorney, said the grant was a
huge relief for the clinic because it
relies on grants to pay its staff and
operate its facilities.
The law students work at the
clinic eight to 10 hours a week
without pay to fulfill a degree
requirement for clinical work.
They are supervised by Gottlieb,
KU law pro-
fessor, and
Thomas.

ing to alleviate
peoples legal
problems so
they can focus
on their health
p r o b l e ms ,
N a t h a n i e l
Th o mp s o n ,
Neodesha law
student. said.
Thomas said the students had a
client who regularly used the clin-
ics fitness center because he had
diabetes. When the client received
a traffic ticket that suspended his
license, the clinic resolved the
ticket so he could continue visit-
ing the gym to work out. Thomas
said the connection between a
persons legal problems and his or
her health problems was impor-
tant, but not always apparent.
The legal clinic has already
served about 125 clients. The cli-
ents are referred from local medi-
cal offices and the clinic is work-
ing to establish a referral partner-
ship with the University of Kansas
Medical Center.
Thomas requested that the full
names and specific case informa-
tion of the clinics clients remain
confidential.
The health clinic provides
general medicine services, dental
care, fitness, karate and health
classes, cooking classes, a massage
therapist and a literacy program.
We wanted to make it a one-
stop shop so people know they
can go to a specific center and get
a number of services that will help
them, Thomas said.
Thomas said the legal clinic
helped reduce clients stress levels.
The clinic advises clients on issues
related to traffic tickets, family law,
wills and estates, and abuse cases.
Laura Lane, Atchison law stu-
dent, said it was exciting to help
clients exercise legal rights they
didnt know they had. She said
many clients would not have had
access to legal help if they had to
pay fees.
Thompson, who handles wills
and general law cases, said some
clients who faced legal problems
and couldnt afford legal help suf-
fered additional health problems
such as depression and stress.
Thompson said although he
was still only a student, he felt his
training had prepared him for the
reality of clients problems.
I think I can handle it,
Thompson said. I know theres
going to be things I havent
seen before, but thats the whole
point.
Many of the law students
commute from Lawrence, where
they are full-time students at the
University. Thomas said although
only eight to 10 hours a week at
the clinic was required, students
often worked overtime.
Theyre excited about what
theyre doing, Thomas said.
Theyre very dedicated to our
clients and what were doing or
they wouldnt have been here.
Ellen Jensby, Wichita law stu-
dent, said the client interaction
was something she didnt get
much of in law school. She said
she liked working in conjunc-
tion with other professionals and
helping people deal with a broad
scope of issues.
Julie Larson, Prairie Village law
student, said being a lawyer was
like being a storyteller. She said that
by helping people solve their legal
problems, she was helping them
start a new chapter in their lives.
I just love meeting people and
hearing their stories, Larson said.
This place is filled with a lot of
hope.

U.S. hospitals and long-term
care facilities annually flush mil-
lions of pounds of unused pharma-
ceuticals down the drain, pump-
ing contaminants into Americas
drinking water, according to an
ongoing Associated Press inves-
tigation.
These discarded medications
are expired, spoiled, over-pre-
scribed or unneeded. Some are
simply unused because patients
refuse to take them, cant toler-
ate them or die with nearly full
90-day supplies of multiple pre-
scriptions on their nightstands.
Few of the countrys 5,700 hos-
pitals and 45,000 long-term care
homes keep data on the pharma-
ceutical waste they generate. Based
on a small sample, though, the
AP was able to project an annual
national estimate of at least 250
million pounds of pharmaceuti-
cals and contaminated packaging,
with no way to separate out the
drug volume.
One thing is clear: The mas-
sive amount of pharmaceuticals
being flushed by the health ser-
vices industry is aggravating an
emerging problem documented
by a series of AP investigative
stories the commonplace
presence of minute concentra-
tions of pharmaceuticals in the
nations drinking water supplies,
affecting at least 46 million
Americans.
Researchers are finding evi-
dence that even extremely diluted
concentrations of pharmaceuti-
cal residues harm fish, frogs and
other aquatic species in the wild.
Also, researchers report that
human cells fail to grow normally
in the laboratory when exposed
to trace concentrations of certain
drugs.

HOUSTON Pump prices
jumped above $5 per gallon in
some parts of the country Sunday
as Hurricane Ike, which caused
less destruction than feared, left
refineries and pipelines idled and
destroyed at least 10 offshore plat-
forms in the Gulf of Mexico.
Far beyond areas struck directly
by high winds and flooding, Ike left
behind it a bizarre pattern of prices
at gas pumps,
with disparities
of more than
$1 a gallon in
some states,
and even on
some blocks.
Were on
the other side
of the look-
ing glass, said
Claire Raines,
who lives near
K n o x v i l l e ,
Tenn. I just passed three gas sta-
tions with prices that ran from
about $3.50 to close to $5 within
walking distance.
Average prices exceeded $4
per gallon in Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, South Carolina, Hawaii
and Alaska, according to auto club
AAA, the Oil Price Information
Service and Wright Express.
States fed directly by refineries
along the Gulf Coast were particu-
larly hard hit and supply may be
sporadic for the next few weeks
with refineries shut down, said
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst with
the Oil Price Information Service.
A station in Knoxville, Tenn.,
was asking $5.19 for a gallon of
regular gas. In Nashville, about
180 miles away, gas was going for
$3.50.
Whatever pain is being felt at
U.S. gas pumps will likely be a very
brief phenomenon, analysts say.
The dour drumbeat of the global
economy has the vast majority of
traders believing the world has lost
its appetite for high-priced crude
and gasoline.
The pain was immediate, how-
ever, for 22-year-old college student
Isiah James. He bought four gallons
of gas at $3.99 near the Columbus,
Ohio, suburb of Worthington.
Youve got to work harder, he
said.
Hurricane Ike appears to have
destroyed a number of production
platforms and damaged some of
the pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico,
federal officials said Sunday.
Fly-overs revealed that at least
10 production platforms were
destroyed by the storm, said Lars
Herbst, regional director for the
U.S. Minerals
Management
Service.
Its too
early to say
if its close to
Katrina- and
Rita-type dam-
age, Herbst
said.
The MMS
says Hurricane
K a t r i n a
destroyed 44
platforms three years ago, and soon
after Hurricane Rita destroyed 64.
Herbst stressed the assessments
were preliminary, but the dam-
age appeared far worse than that
caused by Hurricane Gustav two
weeks ago.
Specifics about the size and
p r o d u c t i o n
capacity of the
destroyed plat-
forms were not
i mme di at el y
available.
H e r b s t
said the aer-
ial inspec-
tions showed
Ike damaged
several large
pipelines, but
the extent of
the damage was not known, nor
whether they carried oil or natural
gas.
Since just before Gustavs arrival
two weeks ago, nearly 100 percent
of Gulf Coast crude production has
stopped, or about 1.3 million bar-
rels per day. About 98 percent of all
natural gas production is on hold.
There was limited production
between storms, but that ended as
Ike approached.
Kloza said its unlikely damage
to platforms in the Gulf would
keep prices up for long.
Its not a big deal in the econo-
my we see working in the oil mar-
ket, he said.
The wave of higher gas prices
across large sections of the U.S.
stood in stark contrast to the
direction of crude and gasoline
futures Sunday on the New York
Mercantile Exchange.
Nymex held a special trading
session because of trader concerns
over Ike.
The price for a barrel of light,
sweet crude tumbled $2.43 to
$98.75.
Gasoline futures fell more than
11 cents to $2.65.
The crude sell-off came two
days after a barrel of oil dropped
below $100 for the first time since
April 2.
Overnight, retail gasoline pric-
es nationwide rose an average of
more than 6 cents for a gallon of
regular gasoline, to $3.79, accord-
ing to auto club AAA, the Oil Price
Information Service and Wright
Express.
Overnight changes in the
national average for gas are usually
measured by tenths of a cent.
Shell said
Sunday the
majority of
its stations in
the Houston,
Galveston and
B e a u m o n t
areas remained
closed.
Meanwhile,
two weeks
after Hurricane
Gustav shut
down produc-
tion and closed a dozen refineries
in Louisiana, those same compa-
nies were sending out crews Sunday
to assess damage. The upper Texas
coast is home to about one-fifth
of the nations petroleum refining
capacity, and any prolonged dis-
ruption could severely crimp gaso-
line supplies.
However, because of ongoing
damage assessments and uncer-
tainty about how long it will take
to get power restored, refiners were
unable to say when theyd be able to
resume production of gasoline and
other fuels.
The Gulf also accounts for 25
percent of domestic oil production
and 15 percent of natural gas out-
put. That production was nearly
100 percent shut down Sunday,
though Shell and some other pro-
ducers had begun restaffing plat-
forms and other offshore facilities
that were not in Ikes path.
More than half of Texas 28
refineries have been shut down
because of Ike.
Valero Energy Corp., North
Americas largest refiner, said crews
had found no significant structural
damage at facilities in Houston,
Texas City and Port Arthur.
The company said it had no
timetable for when production
would resume.
Gulf Coast pipelines that carry
crude oil and refined products to
other parts of the country are also
experiencing outages, which will
further complicate the supply situ-
ation, Valero said.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
Being homeless in this upper crust
enclave is not exactly like living on
the street in other places.
There are handouts of $2,000
and bottles of Dom Perignon, lucky
finds of Gucci shoes and diamond-
encrusted bracelets, a chance to rub
shoulders with rich and famous
locals such as Mark Wahlberg and
Master P, even empty houses to live
in.
This is the finest place you can
be, said Isaac Young, an affable
59-year-old with a wide grin and
a smooth baritone voice who has
been homeless in Beverly Hills
since 1992.
In this manicured commu-
nity of 35,000, Rolls Royces and
Lamborghinis glide around city
streets, movie stars live in gated
mansions and Rodeo Drive price
tags provoke gasps from tourists.
But the city also features about
30 rather scruffy residents who live
in parks, bus shelters and alley-
ways.
Theyre an incongruous sight
amid the shows of superfluous
wealth, underscoring the pervasive-
ness of the huge homeless popula-
tion in Los Angeles County. Some
74,000 people live on the streets or
in shelters, making the county the
nations capital of homelessness.
Homelessness is just all over,
even Beverly Hills, said John Joel
Roberts, chief executive of Path
Partners, which provides street
outreach services.
But the homeless in Beverly
Hills have direct access to some-
thing most street dwellers do not:
rich people, who can afford to be
pretty generous. They pull up in
Porsches and SUVs offering trays
of cooked food, designer clothing
still in dry-cleaner plastic and odd
jobs.
They have a sympathetic thing
for us and were grateful for it, said
a man with grizzled hair pulling a
train of wheeled suitcases, an office
chair and a stroller piled high with
a motley bunch of items found in
the trash. He would only identify
himself as Bond.
George, a lanky man who pedals
a bicycle around town and sleeps
on a building roof, said paparazzi
and parking valets can be a prob-
lem when he panhandles outside
celebrity haunts. But being close to
wealth can lead to $100 handouts,
or finds such as gold jewelry, video
cameras and an Armani suit.

NEW YORK As the out-
look for Lehman Brothers dimmed
Sunday, U.S. and foreign banks
were pressed to create a plan aimed
at inoculating the global finan-
cial system against the investment
banks failure, a top investment
banking official said.
Banks were in tense talks to cre-
ate a pool of money worth up to
$100 billion to lend troubled finan-
cial companies, the official said on
condition of anonymity because
the discussions were ongoing. And
officials at the U.S. Treasury and
the Federal Reserve were expect-
ed to announce they are prepared
to be more generous in the Feds
emergency lending program for
commercial and investment banks.
The plan comes as top govern-
ment officials and Wall Street exec-
utives held marathon, but so far
fruitless, meetings to save Lehman
Brothers, and amid signs that the
158-year-old investment bank
might be forced to seek bankrupt-
cy protection and liquidate. The
companys shares have plunged 95
percent in the past year over wor-
ries that it does not have enough
money to cover losses from its
massive real estate holdings.
The official also said the
Treasury Department and the Fed
were pushing Bank of America
Corp. to buy Merrill Lynch & Co.
On Friday, Merrill Lynchs shares
fell as investors fretted it might be
the next investment bank to come
under pressure from its portfolio of
risky mortgage-backed securities.
Expectations that the 158-year-
old Lehman would survive
dimmed Sunday afternoon after
Barclays PLC withdrew its bid to
buy the investment bank. Barclays
and Bank of America were consid-
ered front-runners to buy Lehman,
which is foundering under the
weight of $60 billion in soured real
estate holdings.
The Lehman talks originally
were aimed at selling the invest-
ment bank in whole or in part. The
deal was tripping on the potential
buyers insistence that they receive
the same kind of help that Bear
Stearns Cos. got last March when
JPMorgan Chase & Co. bought the
securities firm with a $29 billion
Fed-backed loan.
Treasury Secretary Henry
Paulson has said the government
will not help close a Lehman deal,
and it was clear late Sunday he was
not budging.
Lehman declined to comment
on the talks.
If no deal were reached, it raised
the specter of a bankruptcy and
liquidation of the investment bank,
which in turn could have a tumul-
tuous effect on world markets. Late
Sunday, Dow Jones industrial aver-
age futures were down 276 points,
or 2.4 percent, at 11,182.
Traders and bankers across Wall
Street came into the office Sunday
to prepare their departments for
what is expected to be a brutal day
in the market. JPMorgan employ-
ees who work trading desks were
asked to come in at 7 a.m. EDT,
way before the markets 9:30 a.m.
open.
An employee at Lehman
Brothers, who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity, said employees
were briefed of the situation earlier
Sunday afternoon via conference
call. Lehman executives did not
explicitly say the company was fil-
ing for bankruptcy protection, but
essentially confirmed the bank was
planning to liquidate its assets.
There were other signs that
Lehman was moving closer to
a bankruptcy filing, with sever-
al reports that it has hired Weil,
Gotshal & Manges, the law firm
that handled the collapse of
investment firm Drexel Burnham
Lambert in 1990.
Moreover, there was also an
emergency trading session held
at the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association to reduce
risk associated with a potential
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
bankruptcy. The ISDA, which
arranges trades for derivatives,
said it was allowing customers to
make trades and unwind positions
linked to Lehman but that those
trades would be voided if no filing
occurred before midnight.
Paulson, Timothy Geithner,
president of the New York Fed,
and Securities and Exchange
Commissi on Chai rman
Christopher Cox were among those
taking part in the Lehman meet-
ings. Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke is actively engaged
in the deliberations but wasnt in
attendance.
Paulsons tough bargaining
stance received support from out-
side observers Sunday, who argued
that the government had no choice
but to draw a line in the sand.
If Treasury put money into
the Lehman deal, then going
forward no deal would get done
without Treasury help, said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moodys
Economy.com. Every potential
buyer would wait until Treasury
stepped in and that would mean
Treasury would be on the hook for
a lot more bailouts.
The current situation is differ-
ent from Bear Stearns situation six
months ago.
In Lehmans case, financial mar-
kets have been aware of the com-
panys problems for a much longer
period and have had time to pre-
pare. Investment banks also now
have the ability to obtain emer-
gency loans directly from the Fed,
a crucial support that they did not
have back in March when Bear
Stearns was rescued.
Bankers and government offi-
cials were also trying to tackle a
broader agenda that includes prob-
lems at American International
Group Inc. and Washington
Mutual Inc., said the investment
bank officials, who were briefed on
the talks.
AIG, the worlds largest insurer,
and WaMu, the nations biggest sav-
ings bank, have taken steep losses
during the past year from risky
investments. There were reports
that AIG plans to disclose a restruc-
turing by early Monday thats likely
to include the disposal of major
assets including its aircraft-leasing
business and other holdings.
Lehman put itself on the block
earlier last week. Bad bets on real-
estate holdings which have fac-
tored into bank failures and caused
other financial companies to
founder have thrust the firm in
peril. It has been dogged by grow-
ing doubts about whether other
financial institutions would con-
tinue to do business with it.
Richard S. Fuld, Lehmans long-
time CEO, pitched a plan to share-
holders Wednesday that would
spin off Lehmans soured real estate
holdings into a separately traded
company. He would then raise
cash by selling a majority stake in
the companys unit that manages
money for people and institutions.
That division includes asset man-
ager Neuberger Berman.

KABUL, Afghanistan An
American bombing that killed up
to 90 Afghan civilians last month
was based on false information
provided by a rival tribe and did
not kill a single Taliban fighter,
the presidents spokesman said
Sunday.
The claim contradicted a U.S.
contention that the Aug. 22 raid
on the western village of Azizabad
killed up to 35 Taliban fighters.
There was total misinforma-
tion fed to the coalition forces,
Humayun Hamidzada, the spokes-
man for President Hamid Karzai,
told The Associated Press.
Afghan police arrested three
suspects accused of giving the U.S.
military false intelligence that led
to the bombardment, the Interior
Ministry has said.
An Afghan government com-
mission found that up to 90 civil-
ians were killed, including 60
children, a finding backed by a
preliminary U.N. report.
The bombing strained the U.S.-
Afghan relationship but the coun-
tries remain committed allies,
Hamidzada said.
The operation, conducted by
U.S. Special Forces and Afghan sol-
diers, targeted Afghan employees
of a British security firm and their
family members the reason the
U.S. military recovered weapons
after the battle, Hamidzada said.
The U.S. has said its forces were
fired on first during a raid that tar-
geted and killed a known militant
commander named Mullah Sidiq.
But villagers say their homes were
targeted because of false informa-
tion provided by a rival tribesman
named Nader Tawakil.
An Afghan parliamentarian has
said Tawakil is in the protective
custody of U.S. forces. The coali-
tion has declined to comment.
How the information was
gathered, how it was misfed, and
their personal animosity led to
trying to use the international
forces for their own political dis-
putes, which led to a disastrous
event and caused a strain on the
relationship of the Afghan gov-
ernment and international forces,
Hamidzada said.
Not a single Talib was killed,
he added. So it was a total disas-
ter, and it made it even worse when
there were denials, total denials.
The U.S. at first said that 30
militants and no civilians were
killed. A formal military investi-
gation found that the operation
killed up to 35 militants and seven
civilians.
But after video images showing
at least 10 dead children and up
to 40 other dead villagers surfaced
last week, the U.S. said it would
send a one-star general from the
United States to investigate the
strike.
Afghanistans Interior Ministry
said Friday three suspects had
been arrested for allegedly giving
false information to the American
military, but it did not say who
they were. Hamidzada and the
Interior Ministry spokesman
have also declined to say who was
arrested.
A U.S. military spokeswoman
did not respond to an e-mail seek-
ing comment.
Villagers had gathered for a
memorial ceremony in Azizabad
to honor a tribal leader named
Timor Shah, who had allegedly
been killed by Tawakil, the rival
t r i b e s ma n,
about eight
months ago.
Villagers said
families had
traveled to
Azizabad for
the ceremony,
one of the rea-
sons so many
children were
killed.
The top
NATO spokes-
man in Afghanistan, Brig. Gen.
Richard Blanchette, has said the
U.S. coalition, U.N. and Afghan
government would hold a joint
investigation, but Hamidzada said
the Afghan government would
not take part.
The Afghan government did
not agree to a three-way investi-
gation, because we have already
completed two investigations, he
said.
There is no need to go around
to the village and actually harass
people one more time and remind
them of the terrible ordeal they
went through. We have the facts
straight, we have all the informa-
tion.
Karzai has long pleaded with
international forces to reduce the
number of civilians killed in oper-
ations, and now the government is
studying its status of force agree-
ment governing U.S. and NATO
operations in the country. Afghan
officials are also reviewing the
use of airstrikes by international
forces.
Hamidzada said Azizabad
strained a relationship between
friends.
We can be critical of one par-
ticular issue but we are still part-
ners, he said,
adding there
are ways of
killing Taliban
without hurting
civilians.
If we only
rely on air raids,
we know these
are not accu-
rate, we know
the potential for
civilian casual-
ties is extremely
high, he said. So there has to be a
combination of ground forces and
the use of Afghan military forces.
But you cannot just conduct oper-
ations from the air alone, because
you hurt civilians.
In violence Sunday, a suicide
car bomber attacked a convoy car-
rying Afghan doctors working for
the United Nations in southern
Afghanistan, killing two doctors
and their driver, officials said.
The U.N. said it was trying to
determine whether the bombing
was an explicit attack on the world
body or if the doctors were a tar-
get of opportunity.
Also in the Afghan south,
a British soldier was killed in
an explosion on Saturday, the
Ministry of Defense said.
Elsewhere, seven children died
after ordnance they were play-
ing with exploded, and militants
ambushed and killed seven police,
officials said.

Plane crash in Moscow
kills 88 Sunday morning
MOSCOW A Russian investi-
gator says the crash of a pas-
senger jet that killed 88 people
in a central Russian city was most
likely caused by engine failure.
Vladimir Markin said in
televised remarks that a failure
of one of the Boeing-737-500s
two engines may have caused
Sundays crash.
The Boeing-737-500 was
traveling from Moscow when
it went down on the outskirts
of the city of Perm around 3:15
a.m. local time, said Emergency
Situations Ministry spokeswoman
Irina Andrianova. She said there
was no indication terrorism was
involved.
Eighty-two passengers,
including seven children, and six
crew were on board, Andrianova
said. Ofcials said there were no
deaths on the ground and investi-
gators were working to deter-
mine the cause of the crash.
Investigators found the planes
black box fight recorders and
were working to analyze them.
The crash destroyed a section
of railway and shut down part
of the Trans-Siberian railway,
a spokesman for the national
railroad company said.
The plane, operated by a
division of Aerofot, was on its
approach to land when it crashed
into an unpopulated area of the
city, just a few hundred yards
from residential buildings, Andri-
anova said.

program, which started on Sept.
9, will feature six lunches spaced
throughout the fall semester:
three for freshman through senior
undergraduates, one for fifth-year
undergraduate students and two
for graduate students. Originally
only five lunches were scheduled,
but because of growing interest
in the program, another date was
added. Next semester, students will
still have the opportunity to dine

The school relies heavily on its
bond with students, and dining
with the dean is another way to
create that connection.

LA PAZ, Bolivia President
Evo Morales struggled to assert
control over a badly fractured
Bolivia on Sunday as protesters
set fre to a town hall and block-

gasoline and food distribution.
At least 30 people have been
killed in the poor Andean na-

occurred in Pando province,
where Morales declared martial
law on Friday, dispatching troops
and accusing government foes of

people had died and 55 were
injured.

brief
Actor Damon, musician
Wyclef survey Ike damage
GONAIVES, Haiti There were
cries of adulation and also of
hunger as Matt Damon and
Haitian-born singer Wyclef Jean
toured the food-ravaged city of
Gonaives on Sunday to call atten-
tion to the widespread sufering.
Tropical storm Hanna and
Hurricane Ike submerged the
city and cut of roadways in and
out. Where waters have receded,
streets remained a stinking mud-
bath and homes were left with
a carpet of muck and encrusted
pots, pans and laundry.
As Damon and Jean surveyed
the destruction from the back of
a pickup truck in a U.N. convoy, a
man on a bicycle followed as far
as he could, shouting out, Wyclef,
I love you, Wyclef.Jean raised his
hand, but couldnt bring himself
to smile back.
Its inhumane. I wish there was
a word in the dictionary. No hu-
man should be living like this.
Catching frst sight of fooded
homes and people living on roofs
with all their belongings, Damon
also was at a loss.
Im speechless, I cant believe
it,he said.
Damon and Jean are encour-
aging more people to help the
United Nations raise more than
US$100 million for an estimated
800,000 Haitians in need of aid
after four devastating tropical
storms and hurricanes since mid-
August. They went to a school
shelter Sunday to drop of cooking
oil from USAID and bags of beans
from the World Food Program.
AssociatedPress
Fridays
The presidential election is
49 days away, and the anticipa-
tion is building. Voter turnout
among young adults is increas-
ing. According to civicyouth.org, 47
percent of 18 to 24 year olds voted
in the 2004 presidential election,
up from 36 percent in 2000. With
all the enthusiasm surrounding the
November election, why werent
students this excited about the
Student Senate elections in April?
Voter turnout for the last Student
Senate election was extremely low.
Only 17 percent of the student
body voted. Although this is an
increase from 12 percent the year
before, the turnout is pitiful. Not
voting means not being heard, and
less than a fifth of the student body
had a voice in April.
The presidential election may
seem more significant than the
Student Senate elections, but politi-
cal involvement on campus is just
as important. Student senators have
as much of an impact, if not more,
on our daily lives than the person
we put in the White House.
The decisions of Student Senate
set the foundation of the school
and have been widely questioned,
and sometimes criticized, by stu-
dents. Issues like voting with click-
ers, financing the construction of a
boathouse and making buses free
for students were widely discussed.
But why didnt the majority of the
student body vote?
Apparently only 17 percent of
the student body found these issues
important enough to elect the peo-
ple who control them instead of
just complaining.
Political involvement on campus
does not begin and end with vot-
ing. Students should get involved
in the decision-making process.
If you didnt vote on Student
Senate election day, you can still
have a say about what happens
to your campus and your money.
Students can start petitions and
write referendums. Students can
even write their own bills with the
permission of a student senator.
Student Senate said it is trying
to tackle campus voting apathy.
Student Senate has created a new
committee to reform the election
process in an effort to get more stu-
dents to the polls, said Aly Rodee,
Student Senate communications
director. Student Senate hopes to
shorten the campaigning process
so that students wont feel burnt
out and may be excited to vote.
Being informed about the poli-
tics of the University is just as
important as voting for the presi-
dent. It may even be more impor-
tant. After all, the president does
not manage student fees.
In order to get the best experi-
ence from the University, students
must be informed and involved in
their campus community.
Young people are hungry for a
positive change. This change we
crave will not come from our next
president but from ourselves.

Jayhawks, what

n n n
Im playing Spore right
now. One of the greatest
games since sliced bread, eh?
n n n
If LOLcatz, Battlestar Galactica
and Mr. Potatohead procreated,
youd get the newest video game
sensation, Spore. Its the brainchild
of Will Wright, who created The
Sims, which turned out to be the
best-selling PC game in history.
Spore is similar to The Sims,
in that players control the evo-
lution of their creatures. The
evolutionary premise of Spore is
quite innovative, but when science
and pop culture meet, scientific
accuracy always takes a back seat
to amusement (see Star Trek,
Frankenstein, The Brave Little
Toaster).
Spore isnt trying to teach us
evolution its trying to take up
space on your hard drive. Heres
what you should take with a grain
of salt:
We Are ALL reALLy
cuTe ALiens
Life in Spore begins when
an asteroid hits earth, deposit-
ing multi-celled bacteria that laze
about until a player starts adding
limbs and allows the bacteria to
reproduce. Spore deserves a nod
for including a scientifically sup-
ported background story, but the
space stork is only one theory.
Other scientists think organic
material, such as amino acids and
proteins, was grown in the right
temperature, light and chemical
conditions in some unfortunate
prehistoric time when computer
games couldnt stunt their pro-
ductivity.
nO need TO sAve
THe WHALes
Spore is infused with a humans-
as-divine-beings mentality. While
the creatures dont resemble us, the
game assumes that our conditions
as land-dwelling, group-cooperat-
ing strategic thinkers led to our
survival. This is why the game is so
popular: It feeds our egos by allow-
ing us to control life.
As June bugs have proven, you
dont need much of a brain to
resist extinction. Surviving on land
doesnt guarantee better survival,
either. Whales, the largest aquatic
mammals, actually developed from
land animals. Evolution requires a
pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps
mentality. Organisms survive if
they can use limited resources in a
small area, not if they can conquer
the universe.
iF yOu sucK AT LiFe,
MOve PAsT GO
Spore allows you to skip entire
stages completely after you have
played the game once. Unlike
in Spore, species dont seek out
new ways to succeed unless their
environment or genetic makeup
demands it. In Spore, advancing
from level to level is expected.
seeinG GOd BeHind
THe curTAin
Saving your thatch hut from
burning to the ground in the
tribal phase depends largely on
what type of arms, legs and eyes
players give their creature at the
start. Like the real world, creatures
with the best-fit characteristics
flourish. However, Spore doesnt
notice that evolution isnt a deci-
sion. Organisms dont choose how
they look. Biodiversity arises from
genetic mutations and environ-
mental pressure. Giving players
a God complex ignores the basic
mechanism of evolution natural
selection, not divine power.
But the point of Spore isnt for
the Board of Education to dispatch
librarian patrol over all K-12 com-
puters. Players can overlook the
simplified representations of evo-
lution because Spore isnt a learn-
ing tool: It is science appropriated
for entertainment.
If Spore didnt have the God
complex built in, wed be doing the
same old thing making secret
ugly Sim characters out of our sib-
lings.

Do campus police have
nothing else to do?
I realize at 9:50 on a Thursday
morning there might not be
too much for the ever-so-busy
University police ofcers to be
doing. However, while most
students are still recovering
from dollar night, I was riding
my bicycle to class. With the
Lollipop remix bumpin on my
iPod, I cruised down Jayhawk
Boulevard on the 26-inch rims
of my bicycle.
Midway through the second
fow of rhymes from Lil Wayne, I
hear the sound of a cop car. Are
you kidding me?
Yes, I got pulled over on my
bike. If you were on campus and
witnessed this, please laugh it
up. Although I thought it was
hilarious, the ofcer did not. He
informed me that I was indeed
endangering lives by failing to
yield at a stop sign.
Students: please learn from
my $130 mistake. The University
obviously doesnt have enough
money. Now it seems like we
are in the middle of a war
between the University police
department and the KU Parking
Department to see which can
give out the most ridiculous
tickets.

The hurricane season has
gotten off to a strong start, and
as hurricanes dart closer to the
Louisiana coastline, officials
should ask themselves how far
the United States has actually
come since Katrina.
New Orleans was whol-
ly unprepared for that
storm, and cities and
states should not hesi-
tate to issue voluntary
evacuation notices, even
if the storm has only a chance of
hitting that location.
Hurricanes present a difficult
situation to government and law
enforcement agencies, especial-
ly during evacuations. Unlike a
tornado, which people can take
shelter from in their basement,
a hurricane forces evacuations
because no type of effective hurri-
cane shelters exist. Even if citizens
stayed, New Orleans showed us
that the damage to water, sewer,
gas and electrical systems would
place them in serious danger.
Unfortunately, hurricanes are
also unpredictable. Even if the
National Hurricane Center can
give people a range of where the
storm might strike, intensity and
exact location are not certain.
Although the hurricane might
fizzle out, mandatory evacuations
should be enforced for any urban
area that might lie in
the path of a hurricane,
simply because of the
likely unlivable state
of the city afterward.
Rural residents should
be given more leeway in
choosing if they want to leave, as
long as they understand their life
is in their hands.
Although it might seem like
a waste of money to prepare for
only a possibility, this country has
seen the devastating consequenc-
es of not doing enough.
All areas in this country are
prone to some kind of natural
disaster, and states should make
sure they have the ability to help
and protect their citizens, even if
the storms arent as disastrous as
projected.
No one should try to balance
the equation of money saved by
comparing it to lives saved.
If you want cars to treat bicy-
cles as equal passengers, you'd
better be prepared to equally
follow the laws of the road.

Luke Russert makes interviewing
debut with presidential nominees
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The reporter
who sat across from John McCain
and Barack Obama for separate
interviews that aired on NBCs
Today show Friday was only 23.
Was he nervous?
Not necessarily, Luke Russert
said. I had prior relationships with
both of them.
He asked both Obama and
McCain about whether community
service should be mandatory for
young people. They said no, but
both presidential candidates said
the United States missed a real
opportunity to teach citizens about
sacrifice following the 9/11 terror-
ist attacks. Matt Lauer debriefed
him about the interviews.
No one would have figured on
seeing a Russert on the Today
show this political season follow-
ing the shocking death of Lukes
dad, Tim Russert, of a heart attack
on June 13.
Offered the chance to report
on youth issues for NBC News,
the gregarious young Russert dove
into the assignment with gusto, tot-
ing a microphone backstage at the
Democratic and Republican con-
ventions. Many of his stories have
appeared on the Nightly News
Web site and he blogs about his
experiences on iCue.com
Hes one of the rookies of the
year, said NBC News President
Steve Capus. Heres a man at the
worst possible time in his life who
stepped into the spotlight with
great poise, strength and a sense of
humor, with a love of politics and a
love for NBC.
Would a young man at his age
and with his credentials secure
such a high-profile job if his last
name wasnt Russert? Doubtful, of
course. But NBC News might be
expected to act paternally toward
a person its employees watched
grow by the side of its beloved
Washington bureau chief and
Meet the Press host.
He often accompanied his dad
on assignments (as a 10-year-old
I was as tall as Ross Perot, he
recalled), riding McCains Straight
Talk Express during the 2000
primary campaign and meeting
Obama at a forum on public ser-
vice in 2006.
But its not as if Russert didnt
bring something to the table. The
recent Boston College graduate has
worked in media since he was a
teenager, co-hosting a sports talk
show on XM satellite radio with
political consultant James Carville.
Before his father died, he had
already lined up a job covering the
presidential campaign for another
XM station. He chose to go to NBC
when it offered more exposure.
The Russert name also undoubt-
edly helped land last weeks inter-
views with the two candidates,
particularly important since many
McCain supporters have been
seething about NBC News.

Writer David Wallace, 46,
commits suicide at home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLAREMONT, Calif. David
Foster Wallace, the author best
known for his 1996 novel Infinite
Jest, was found dead in his home,
according to police. He was 46.
Wallaces wife found her hus-
band had hanged himself when
she returned home about 9:30
p.m. Friday, said Jackie Morales, a
records clerk with the Claremont
Police Department.
Wallace taught creative writ-
ing and English at nearby Pomona
College.
He cared deeply for his stu-
dents and transformed the lives
of many young people, said Dean
Gary Kates. Its a great loss to our
teaching faculty.
Wallaces first novel, The
Broom of the System, gained
national attention in 1987 for its
ambition and offbeat humor. The
New York Times said the 24-year-
old author attempts to give us a
portrait, through a combination
of Joycean word games, literary
parody and zany picaresque adven-
ture, of a contemporary America
run amok.
Published in 1996, Infinite Jest
cemented Wallaces reputation as a
major American literary figure. The
1,000-plus-page tome, praised for
its complexity and dark wit, topped
many best-of lists. Time Magazine
named Infinite Jest in its issue
of the 100 Best English-language
Novels from 1923 to 2005.
Wallace received a genius
grant from the MacArthur
Foundation in 1997.
In 2002, Wallace was hired
to teach at Pomona in a ten-
ured English Department posi-
tion endowed by Roy E. Disney.
Kates said when the school
began searching for the ideal
candidate, Wallace was the first
person considered.
The committee said we
need a person like David Foster
Wallace. They said that in the
abstract, Kates said. When he
was approached and accepted,
they were heads over heels. He
was really the ideal person for
the position.
Born in Ithaca, N.Y., Wallace
attended Amherst College and
the University of Arizona.

TAMPA, Fla. If faced with the same
decision again, Todd Reesing would do
only one thing different throw the ball
about a yard farther.
Trying to get the Jayhawks into field goal
range with 41 seconds left and the score
deadlocked at 34-34 with the then No.
19 South Florida, Reesing dropped back
to pass and saw wide receiver Raymond
Brown streak down the middle of the field.
Reesing took a chance and let it fly, but the
ball fell a yard short of Brown and right into
the hands of a leaping Nate Allen of USF.
We got what we wanted, Reesing said,
who passed for 373 yards and three touch-
downs. I kind of fell off my back foot a
little bit and just didnt quite get it there. If
I had to do it again, Id probably make the
same decision. I just didnt make the play.
Allen stayed on his feet and returned the
ball 38 yards to the Kansas 26-yard line.
After a one-yard run, freshman Maikon
Bonani hit his third field goal of the game
a 43-yarder as time expired to give
South Florida a 37-34 win.
Just a little bit more and Ray-B may
walk into the end zone and were celebrat-
ing instead of them, Reesing said of his
final heave. Its a tough loss.
Early on it didnt look like Reesing would
need any late-game heroics as the Jayhawks
opened up a commanding 20-3 lead mid-
way through the second half.
But with 2:14 left in the second quarter,
USF quarterback Matt Grothe ran for a
28-yard touchdown that cut the score to
20-10 and changed the complexion of the
game.
After the Grothe score, Kansas went
three and out on five consecutive drives
although they did get one first down as the
result of a penalty on the first play.

on the field for more than three plays, the

Its not often a team can be compared
to literature. But right now the Jayhawk
volleyball team is looking like Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde.
The Jayhawks once again finished sec-
ond at another non-conference tourna-
ment, this time at the Cowgirl Classic in
Wyoming. Kansas lost to the University of
Alabama at Birmingham after two thrilling
victories on Friday night.
Its been the only constant for the
Jayhawks, who have played in three tour-
naments during the non-conference and
have finished with a lone loss every time.
Its those losses, though, that frustrate
coach Ray Bechard,
knowing what his team
can become.
We had a big let-
down yesterday against
UAB, Bechard said.
Im a little bit surprised
by that, after we played
so well Friday.
It was on that Friday
that the Jayhawks
played their most thrilling match of the
season, defeating Wyoming in their first
five-set match of the year. Sophomore

For five games winning was easy for No.
21 Kansas. Every bounce and call seemed
to fall in the Jayhawks favor and they took
advantage, outscoring their opponents by
11 goals and establishing themselves in
national polls in the process.
Kansas finally found out what its like to
be on the other end of the spectrum. Faced
with its first two-goal deficit of the season,
coach Mark Francis team couldnt find
the final ball to bridge the gap as Loyola
University Chicago recorded an upset 2-1
victory on an overcast Sunday afternoon at
the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
I told the team remember what this
feels like because losing sucks, Francis said.
We havent experienced that so maybe we
were taking things a little bit for granted.
The loss is all the more disappointing
considering a victory wouldve matched
Kansas best-ever start. And even more
upsetting considering the manner in which Jerry Wang / KANSAN
Kansas senior midfeld Jessica Bush braces herself for impact during a 2-1 loss against Loyola-Chicago on
Sunday. The Jayhawks scored their only goal with ten minutes remaining in the game.

Cincinnati Reds picher Bronson Arroyo catches a baseball with the brimof his cap as he watches game action against the Arizona Diamond-
backs in the third inning of a baseball game Sunday, in Phoenix.
They were going to win. Friday
night, 34-34 with the ball and a
minute to do something cool?
Too easy.
Fans saw tight ones last year,
and Kansas always won. Todd
Reesing, the funslinger that he
is, would ask for the
same situation in
every game. And Mark
Mangino, he loves it.
The team that exe-
cutes better in close
games almost always
wins them. And say
what you want about
Mangino and his fixa-
tion with privacy and
pine trees, the Jayhawks always
execute and rarely make the
error.
Thats why Reesings intercep-
tion and Maikon Bonanis ensuing
kick that curved right and wide
before swinging left just inside
the upright came as such a shock.
It was one game, but the loss
felt like more. It was a loss of
innocence. There was something
pure and nave about KU football
last year, like nothing could go
wrong. Because for the most part,
nothing went wrong.
The Jayhawks won every tight
game they were in except Missouri.
Texas A&M and Colorado provid-
ed scares but nothing else. Kansas
State had a million opportunities
to win but didnt.
Aqib Talib or Justin Thornton
would get the extra interception.
James McClinton or Joe Mortensen
would stop someone behind
the line of scrimmage. Reesing
would find Marcus Henry for a
40-yard pass. Somehow, someone
would always bail the Jayhawks
out, whether it was themselves
because of their execution or the
opponents foolish play.
And the Jayhawks did it with
a quarterback who was too small,
a coach who was disrespected for
many years because of his weight
and lack of success, and a corner-
back who wouldnt shut up until
the rest of the country had heard
him say how good his team was.
It was a dream, too good to be
true, only it was true.
Did the South Florida game
change that? It was just one loss
and a quality one at that. Who
knows? It might not dent the
Kansas aura.
After all, the Jayhawks lost to
a team that will be in
the top 25 all season
and will probably win
the depressing Big East
with relative ease. They
played as good as any
team in the country
for the first 30 minutes
and then came back
after receiving confi-
dence-crushing blows
for an entire quarter. They get
plenty of opportunities against
quality opponents later this year
and could still easily compete for
the Big 12 North title.
But when you lose that inno-
cence, nothing feels quite the
same ever again.
Lets get outside
The past 12 days have been a
mess. Lawrence has turned into
Seattle. At least, thats what its
felt like.
According to weather.com, its
rained on all but three days since
Wednesday, Sept. 3. In that time,
the sun has shined the majority
of the time on only one day and
the temperatures have hovered
around the mid-60s.
Summer weather is supposed
to finally return today. It should
be in the 70s and sunny, and stay
that way for about the next week.
So play some tennis, throw a foot-
ball, break out a croquet set, read
a book under a tree. Lets all just
enjoy the bright, sunny days while
we still can.

Big 12 teams dominate
and move up in the polls
STILLWATER, Okla. A week
after going a perfect 12-for-12
against nonconference op-
ponents, the Big 12s member
schools couldnt pull of a second
straight sweep.
Hard as it is to fathom, though,
the top teams in the conference
found ways to look even stronger.
Oklahoma (3-0) put to rest any
talk about last seasons road woes
continuing to linger by decisively
dispatching Washington in its frst
trip to Pac-10 territory since the
Oregon debacle of 2006, and was
rewarded with a bump to No. 2 in
The Associated Press poll Sunday.
And Missouri, which also
nudged up one spot to No. 5,
had a record-setting day behind
Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin
in another game that was over
before the end of the third
quarter.
Daniel became Missouris
all-time passing leader with a
405-yard performance
The defending North and
South division champions com-
bined to win by a 124-31 margin,
and this week neither one was
playing a Championship Subdivi-
sion opponent.
The blowout win made the
Tigers the top-scoring team in the
nation with a 57.7-point average,
and fve other Big 12 teams are in
the top 15 Kansas State (57.5),
Oklahoma (54.7), Oklahoma State
(50.7), Texas (47.0) and Texas Tech
(42.3).
It wasnt all good news for the
Big 12 teams, which went 6-2 this
week to follow up the frst ever
12-0 showing in the conferences

ST. LOUIS Two blowout
losses in two weeks have the St.
Louis Rams groping for answers.
The Rams (0-2) were dread-
ful in a 38-3 opening-game loss
at Philadelphia. They stayed with
the Super Bowl champion Giants
into the fourth quarter Sunday
before three straight New York
touchdowns turned a close game
into a 41-13 loss in St. Louis home
opener.
Everything that could go
wrong did. St. Louis quarterback
Marc Bulger was sacked six times.
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck
blocked a fourth-quarter pass,
caught it, and returned it for a
touchdown. Passes were dropped.
Big gains were negated by pen-
alties. Bulger, on the rare occa-
sions he had time to throw, missed
wide-open receivers.
The defense was no better.
Defenders missed several tack-
les. The Giants had a 441-201
advantage in total yards. In two
games, St. Louis has been out-
gained 963-367.
This isnt the only two good
offenses were going to play, Rams
coach Scott Linehan said. Were
going to play a lot more, and
were going to have to stop people.
Were going to have to score points
on offense and stop people on
defense, and were not doing it.
The Rams had high hopes
entering this season despite a 3-13
showing in 2007. The offensive
line was relatively healthy again
and Al Saunders, the offensive
coordinator behind Kansas Citys
powerful teams in the early 2000s,
joined the coaching staff.
So far, the results have been
disheartening. Even the lone St.
Louis touchdown was something
of a fluke, a 45-yard jump-ball
pass from Bulger that defender
Kenny Phillips tipped and Torry
Holt caught while sprawled on the
ground in the end zone.
Its very shocking and disap-
pointing weve played like this,
running back Steven Jackson said.
We have to have that confidence
that we can fight and play with
anybody. Its going to happen.

TAMPA, Fla. Todd Reesing
swore the South Florida defensive
lines pressure didnt bother him
Friday night.
But he sure spent a lot of time
eluding potential tacklers behind
the line of scrimmage in Kansas
37-34 loss to South Florida. Still,
Reesing said he thought freshmen
tackles Jeff Spikes and Jeremiah
Hatch held up well against the
Bulls vaunted pass rush.
We had plenty of time. They
blocked great, Reesing said. In
the third quarter, we just couldnt
get things going.
Oh, the disastrous third quarter
where the Bulls scored 17 points
in the middle of a 31-0 run to take
the lead from the Jayhawks. In less
than 20 minutes, Kansas went from
being ahead 20-3 to falling behind
34-20.
And much of the problems dur-
ing that run came froman inability
to stop South Floridas pass rush,
while failing to supply quarterback
pressure of its own defensively.
Kansas converted six of nine
third-down conversions in the first
quarter. Whenever South Florida
appeared to have it stopped, Reesing
stepped up in the pocket and calm-
ly found the open receiver.
He didnt have that luxury in
the second half. USF All-American
defensive end George Selvie rushed
past Spikes on the first third-down
attempt of the second half and
forced Reesing to throw the ball
away. It didnt stop. It was merely a
preview of the rest of the game.
Their ends were split out very
wide, Kansas coach Mark Mangino
said, and what their philosophy
was is they wanted to beat those
kids out of their stance.
Mangino said considering the
wide splits and how much Kansas
threw the ball 51 times he
thought the offensive line played
fine. Mangino, however, couldnt
hide his disapproval with the effort
from the defensive line.
While the Bulls forced Reesing
to scramble sideline-to-sideline
and make quick decisions, USF
quarterback Matt Grothe often had
all the time he needed.
He ran for a 28-yard touch-
down to start the 31-0 run at the
end of the second quarter after
he scanned the field for several
seconds without finding an open
receiver. Grothe waited for senior
receiver Taurus Johnson to out-
run the coverage and delivered a
21-yard pass for the second USF
touchdown, which tied the score
at 20.
We have to be able to get to the
quarterback with a four man rush
and were not doing that, Mangino
said. Were not getting there.
Kansas did record two sacks,
but both came on blitzes. Senior
linebackers Mike Rivera and James
Holt each knocked down Grothe
once.
Mangino said Kansas would
have to become more efficient on
getting pressure on the quarterback
without sending linebackers.
When we have to bring five or
six that means we have to man up
in some situations, Mangino said,
and we really dont want to man
up with a couple of younger kids
that are in the secondary. Theyre
not ready for that yet.
A prime example came on
South Floridas final touchdown.
The Jayhawks sent a linebacker,
which left sophomore cornerback
Isiah Barfield alone covering USF
receiver A.J. Love.
Barfield, in his first career start,
didnt stand a chance. Love blew
past himfor a 37-yard pass on a go-
route to make the score 34-27.
Reesing brought Kansas back
to tie the game despite plenty of
green jerseys in the Kansas back-
field. Selvie seemed to stall the
tying touchdown-drive when he
beat Spikes off the ball and sacked
Reesing for an 11-yard loss.
Selvie almost got another sack
two plays later, but Reesing tossed
a quick shovel pass to junior guard
Angus Quigley for a 14-yard touch-
down.
It wasnt enough. USF fresh-
man kicker Maikon Bonani made
a 43-yard field goal to win the
game. Perhaps if Reesing benefited
from better protection in the third
quarter, the outcome would have
been different. But thats not what
Reesing thought.
Everybody wants to say our
tackles are young, Reesing said.
Thats over with. They played their
asses off, they fought hard and they
did the best they could.

to Raymond Brown with 41
seconds left was intercepted
and returned to the Kansas 26
yard line. After a one yard run,
USF freshman Maikon Bonani
hit the game winning 43-yard
feld goal to give Kansas its frst
loss of the season.

Game to forGet
Todd Reesing. Throwing for
373 yards and three touch-
downs would normally be a
game to remember, but Rees-
ing would love to have his 51st
and fnal pass attempt back
a deep toss down the middle of
the feld that was intercepted
with 40 seconds left and set up
the game winning feld goal
by USF.

We have to be able to get to
the quarterback with a four man
rush and were not doing that.
Were not getting there. When
we have to bring fve or six, that
means we have to man up in
some situations and we really
dont want to man up with a
couple of younger kids there in
the secondary. They arent ready
for that. We have to be able to
put some pressure on the quar-
terback with four guys.

stop the Bulls. After a Bonani field
goal made it 20-13, Grothe found
Taurus Jackson in the back of the
end zone for a 21-yard touchdown
that tied the game at 20. The play
was initially ruled an incomplete
pass but was reviewed and over-
turned after the replay judge ruled
that Jackson had control of the ball
before he fell out of the back of the
end zone.
After a Jamar Taylor 13-yard run
made it 27-20 SouthFlorida, Grothe
found A.J. Love for a 38-yard score
that made it 34-20 and capped a
31-0 run for the Bulls.
Its unexplainable,safetyDarrell
Stuckey said of the turnaround.
After once holding a controlling
17-point lead, Kansas now found
itself down by 14 early in the fourth
quarter.
We had control of the game in
the first half, Reesing said. The
offense just didnt do anything in
the third quarter. We fell apart.
But Reesing and company
refused to go down without a fight.
The Jayhawks responded with an
impressive drive, converting four
third down conversions before
Reesing found Jonathan Wilson for
his second touchdown of the game
an 18-yard grab that cut the defi-
cit to seven with 9:51 to play.
We got it going in the fourth
quarter but it was just a little bit
too late, said Wilson, who had
10 catches for 171 yards and two
touchdowns.
After the KUdefense got a much
needed defensive stand thanks to a
James Holt 16-yard sack on third
down, the KU offense went back
to work. Faced with a third and 20
from the USF 45, Reesing scram-
bled again and found Kerry Meier
who had 11 catches for 120 yards
for a leaping grab that went for
26 yards and gave the Jayhawks a
rare first down.
After a 5-yard USF penalty for
having 12 men on the field, Angus
Quigley took a shovel pass from
Reesing 14 yards into the end zone
to tie the game at 34 with 5:32 to
play.
Quigley led Kansas in rushing
for the third straight game but had
just 22 yards on three carries. As a
team, the Jayhawks continued their
struggle on the ground, accumulat-
ing only 61 yards on the ground on
21 attempts.
The KU defense got another big
stop following the Quigley touch-
down, setting up what the Jayhawks
thought was going to be the game-
winning drive.
We had all the confidence in
the world that we were going to
drive down and score and win the
game, Reesing said. We had just
had two big drives to tie the game
and had a chance there for a big
play but the ball was just a little
underthrown and the safety made a
hell of a play.
Coach Mark Mangino praised
Reesing after the game, saying he
had no problemat all with his deci-
sion on the last play.
You play to win the game,
Mangino said. Youre on the road
youre not playing for overtime.
Those things happen. Thats not the
issue. There are other issues that we
need to deal with but one of them
is not Todd.
No longer worried about an
undefeated season, Kansas will host
Sam Houston State on Saturday
before opening Big 12 play after a
bye week at Iowa State on Oct. 4.
It always hurts to come a long
way and lose, Quigley said. But
its early in the season and this
doesnt have anything to do with
Big 12 standings and our goal in the
North. Obviously were not where
we thought we were, so we have to
come out and go back to work.

Former First Team
All-American and Orange
Bowl MVP Aqib Talib
joined his former team-
mates on the feld before
and during the Jayhawks
37-34 loss to South Florida
on Friday night.
Talib, a frst round draft
pick of the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers, predicted to
his Buccaneers teammates
after Fridays practice that
Kansas would win by three
touchdowns.
He has a lot of pride for
the Jayhawks, said Bucs
cornerback Phillip Bucha-
non. He talks about them
all the
time.
Talib
said
he still
stayed
in
contact
with
several
current KU players, includ-
ing cornerback Kendrick
Harper. Despite the loss,
he expects Kansas to have
another successful season.
I like the experience
that they brought back,
Talib said. I think they are
going to go a long way.
I saw Chris (Harris) and
these guys during seven
on seven drills and they
looked real good.
Look for a profle of
Talib and his journey to
the NFL, including photos
of his family at its Tampa
home, in The Kansan in the
next few weeks.

Jon Goering/KaNSaN
Running back angus Quigley breaks a tackle on his way to a 20-yard gain on Kansas fnal
drive in the fourth quarter. Quigley was the Jayhawks leading rusher again, gaining 22 yards on
three carries. Other running backs Jocques Crawford and Jake Sharp combined for 26 yards.
Jon Goering/KaNSaN
South Florida kicker Maikon bonani boots the ball past the outstretched hands of Phillip Strozier, right, and JefWheeler, left, for the game-winning 43-yard feld goal as time expires. Bonani also made feld goals of 23 and 34 yards.
Jon Goering/KaNSaN
Defensive end Jake laptad pressures South Florida quarterback Matt Grothe a little too much. He picked up a personal foul penalty on the play,
taking away his sack. It was one of the fewtimes the KU defense got into the backfeld and caused problems for Grothe.
Jon Goering/KaNSaN
Quarterback todd Reesing walks of the feld after the loss to South Florida, only the second one of his career. He threwfor 373 yards and three touchdowns but his late interception allowed the Bulls to set up the game-winning feld goal.

Coming off a third place finish
in the Fairway Club Invitational
in Nebraska City, Neb., last
week, the mens golf team will
host the Kansas Invitational
today and tomorrow at Alvamar
Golf Club.
With two freshmen and one
sophomore, Kansas hopes for
its underclassman to lead the
team.
We have the chance to be a
really sneaky team, said coach
Kit Grove. Right now we are
just gaining some experience.
Sophomore Nate Barbee, who
had a career best fourth-place
finish last week, believes that
coming home to Lawrence will
help the team.
Being at our home course, if
we all play our game, I dont see
why we shouldnt win, Barbee
said.
Freshmen Ian Anson and
Blake Giroux, who placed 25th
and 42nd in last weeks tourna-
ment, will look for more con-
sistency on the course. In the
Fairway Club Invitational, Anson
scored 75 in
both rounds
and Giroux
scored 78 and
76 respec-
tively.
W i t h
some matu-
rity some of
these guys
are look-
ing to grind
out 73 and
74 instead
of high 70s
or over 80,
coach Grove
said.
S e n i o r s
Walt Koelbel and Andrew Storm
round out the Jayhawks starting
five and senior Zach Pederson
will compete as an individu-
al. Pederson has finished in
the top-20 in each of the three
tournaments at the Kansas
Invitational.
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
The cross country squad went
to Columbia, Mo., prepared to take
on the rolling hills and the Tigers
in the Missouri Cross Country
Challenge. However, both the mens
and the womens teams fell short
and took second place behind the
Tigers despite solid performances
from some of the Jayhawks.
In the mens 8k race, the top
three spots were taken by Missouri
runners. The winner was Mizzou
sophomore Michael Pandolfo, who
ran unattached with a time of 26:42,
followed by Mizzou redshirt senior
Michael Barrows and sophomore
Phillip King.
For the Jayhawks, freshman
Zach Zarda finished sixth overall
and first for the Jayhawks with a
time of 27:12. Its the second meet
this season that a freshman has
finished first for the team, after
Donny Wasinger finished first at
the Bob Timmons Classic.
I think as a team, we all had a
bad day, Zarda said. I think I had
a less of a bad day but still not a
good day.
Zarda ran with a side-stitch dur-
ing the race.
Its never happened to me
before, but I had to suck it up and
tough it out, he said.
Right behind Zarda was junior
Isaiah Shirlen and senior Brock
Ternes. Despite the effort, the
Tigers beat out the Jayhawks by
a score of 22 to 33 to take first
overall.
Shirlen was optimistic and felt
like the team improved in working
together.
I think we
did twice as well
as two weeks
ago, he said.
Shirlen said
he thought his
performance in
Columbia was
better than at the Bob Timmons
Invitational.
The Jayhawks had been pre-
paring for the infamous hills at
the A.L. Gustin Golf Course in
Columbia, but the team said the
rain was a factor in their perfor-
mance, making the hills and grass
soggy.
Ive ran on worse hills before,
Zarda said. It still takes a lot out
of your legs, and your feet sink
into the ground instead of bounc-
ing off.
As for the womens team, junior
Lauren Bonds took first place not
just for the Jayhawks but first over-
all with a time of 18:59. Its the
second meet in a row that Bonds
has taken first place overall with a
time under 19 minutes.
Sophomore Amanda Miller
took fifth place overall and second
for the Jayhawks followed by Kara
Windisch in sixth and Amanda
Knoll in 10th. The rest of the top
10 was dominated by the Tigers,
giving them a score of 24 to 35.
Miller felt that the team did the
best it could under the circum-
stances.
It was hard but I think we did
the best we could with the foot-
ing being bad and muddy on the
turns, she said.
Miller also said that prior to the
womens race,
there were high
school races
and also the
mens 8k.
M i l l e r
believed that
all of the hill
workouts were
helpful.
The course wasnt that hilly
until the last mile, she said. I
think it got us prepared for that last
mile of the course.
Miller said what she got from
the race was how their team com-
peted against another Big 12 team
and what the competition is like
in the conference, since the Bob
Timmons Invitational did not fea-
ture any Division I schools.
Although the Jayhawks may
have not gotten the victory against
Missouri, Shirlen felt like the
potential for the team is there.
The team is so young and has
so much potential, he said. I think
the marginal improvement is going
to be huge two months from now.
A lot of the guys will be in much
better shape.
Junior Bret Imgrund, who fin-
ished 15th overall, had a similar
opinion about the team.
If we stay healthy and work
hard, then itll come, he said. Its a
long season, we need to focus and
keep improving.
The next race for the Jayhawks
isnt until Oct. 4 when they head to
Stillwater, Okla., to compete in the
OSU Jamboree. Shirlen said that
theres more competition in store
for them in Stillwater.
We have to stay mentally
tough, he said. Oklahoma State is
one of the top two or three teams in
the nation. Its tough competition
especially for the freshmen, but I
think theyll be tough enough by
then to handle it.

Manning, Vinatieri rally
Colts past Vikings by FG
MINNEAPOLIS The India-
napolis Colts were overwhelmed
at the line of scrimmage again,
and the swarming Minnesota de-
fense frequently pounded Peyton
Manning into the Metrodome
turf.
But the Colts put the Manning
touch on another impressive
rally, thanks to a handful of clutch
completions near the end by
their stalwart quarterback, and
reminded the Vikings its just not
possible to win without throwing
the ball.
Manning passed for 311 yards
and moved Adam Vinatieri in
position for the winning feld
goal with 3 seconds left, leading
Indianapolis to an 18-15 victory
on Sunday after Minnesota led
15-0 late in the third quarter.
We played a lot of man, got
in their face, got a lot of pres-
sure, but it wasnt enough, said
Antoine Winfeld, who had one of
Mannings two interceptions. Hes
been around. Hes seen it all. You
can never rattle him, I dont think.

New England manages

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Matt Cassel made no mistakes
in his frst NFL start at least
none that were costly.
Brett Favre, making his 255th
straight, made a mistake that
hurt the New York Jets badly in
a 19-10 loss to New England on
Sunday an interception that
led to the games frst touch-
down and gave the Patriots the
momentum they needed.
Cassel smiled at the compari-
son.
Hes a great quarterback. I
used to watch him all the time
when I was growing up, Cassel
said. Thats the way this game
goes sometime.
The way this game went is
the way a lot of games may go
for the Patriots without Tom
Brady. They did it last week
against Kansas City and they
did it again Sunday limit
Cassels mistakes and let Wes
Welker, Sammy Morris, Kevin
Faulk, Richard Seymour ,Vince
Wilfork and Adalius Thomas
win it.

CLEVELAND Brian
Bannister finally got a win as his
Kansas City teammates kept piling
up hits and runs.
Bannister won for the first time
in nearly three months and Ryan
Shealy homered twice and drove in
five runs as the Royals totaled 17
hits to defeat the Cleveland Indians
13-3 Sunday.
Bannister (8-15) gave up four
hits and three runs in the first
inning, then settled down and won
for the first time in 14 starts to snap
his nine-game losing streak. He had
not won since beating Colorado in
an interleague game June 23. His
last win over an AL club was June 1,
a 6-1 triumph in Cleveland.
Over the last couple of months,
it seems like my confidence has
been tested every time out,
Bannister said. I felt that today
in the first inning, but it was nice
that the offense exploded and took
some of the pressure off my shoul-
ders.
The right-hander improved
to 3-1 with a 1.91 ERA in five
career starts against the Indians
after allowing three runs and six
hits over six innings. He had been
pounded for 10 hits and seven runs
over 3 2-3 innings by Minnesota in
his previous start Tuesday and had
a 7.79 ERA during his streak.
It will be much more fun going
into my next start with this under
my belt, Bannister said. The
offense stuck it to them and didnt
shut it down. It was fun to watch.
Shealy had his second career
multihomer game, giving him four
homers and nine RBIs since being
recalled from Triple-A Omaha on
Tuesday. The five RBIs tied a career
high.
Im getting pitches to hit and
even the balls Im not hitting hard
are finding holes, Shealy said. Im
going to try to ride this out.
Jose Guillen drove in three runs
while David DeJesus and Alberto
Callaspo had two RBIs apiece as
Kansas City hit .366 (59-for-161)
in the four-game series, winning
the final three.
Hopefully, its one of those
things that we can keep going,
Royals manager Trey Hillman said.
DeJesus put Kansas City ahead
5-3 with a two-out, two-run single
off Edward Mujica (2-2) in the
fourth. Guillen followed with a
two-run double off Juan Rincon.
Grady Sizemore doubled off
Bannister to lead off Clevelands
first inning. Jhonny Peralta and
Ryan Garko had RBI singles around
a sacrifice fly by Victor Martinez
for a 3-0 lead.
The Royals tied it at 3 in the
third off Indians starter Jeremy
Sowers. Shealy hit a solo homer in
the second. In the third, Callaspo
had an RBI double and scored on
Shealys two-out bloop single to
right.
Sowers retired the side on eight
pitches in the first, then needed 67
pitches to get through the next two
innings.
When you throw that many
pitches in a couple innings, I didnt
see it getting any better, Indians
manager Eric Wedge said. Its a
little far-fetched to think hes going
to go out and find it.
Sowers gave up three runs and
five hits over three innings, his
shortest outing in 14 starts since
June 30, a three-inning stint in a
loss to the Chicago White Sox.
I wasnt terrible, but I was leav-
ing the ball up, Sowers said. I
think some of it could be a testa-
ment to their hitters. They were
seeing the ball good the whole
series and you run into teams like
that sometimes.

DENVER Showing ultimate
confidence in his offense, Mike
Shanahan went for the 2-point
conversion with 29 seconds left
and Jay Cutler hit rookie Eddie
Royal over the middle to give the
Denver Broncos a 39-38 win over
the stunned San Diego Chargers
on Sunday.
The Chargers (0-2) couldn't
believe they lost in the final
seconds for the second straight
week.
Trailing 38-31, the Broncos
(2-0) reached the 1 but on third-
and-goal, Cutler reared back to
throw and the ball slipped out of
his hands, bounced off the grass
and into linebacker Tim Dobbins'
hands.
But referee Ed Hochuli blew
his whistle, apparently ruling it an
incomplete pass. After a review,
Hochuli said that the Broncos
would keep the ball because his
whistle had blown the play dead.
The Broncos got the ball at the
10-yard line, where it had hit the
grass out of Cutler's hands.
Two plays later, Cutler hit Royal
for the TD to make it 38-37.
Instead of going for the tie,
however, Shanahan kept his
offense on the field and with
75,000-plus fans at Invesco Field
holding their breath, Cutler again
found Royal in the end zone for
the winner on the exact same
route.
Cutler's dart split three defend-
ers and Royal cradled the pass in
his gut, avoiding safety Clinton
Hart but not the thrilled team-
mates who piled on in celebra-
tion.
The Chargers had one last
chance but Philip Rivers' des-
peration heave into the end zone
missed Chris Chambers, who had
four catches for 83 yards and two
touchdowns.
Cutler completed 36 of 50
passes for a career-best 350 yards
and four TDs and enjoyed the
return of Brandon Marshall, who
set a franchise record with 18
catches for 166 yards in a magnif-
icent return from his one-game
suspension.
Marshall's receptions were two
shy of Terrell Owens' NFL record
of 20 set for San Francisco against
Chicago earlier this decade.
With LaDainian Tomlinson
slowed by a jammed right big toe,
his backup, Darren Sproles had a
career day, piling up 317 all-pur-
pose yards on 14 touches, includ-
ing a 103-yard kickoff return for
a touchdown in the first half and
a 66-yard catch-and-run for the
go-ahead score with 4:22 remain-
ing.
Sproles took a short pass
from Rivers, who completed 21
of 33 passes for 377 yards and
three TDs, and raced through
the Broncos' befuddled defense
to put the Chargers on top 36-31.
Legedu Naanee's catch for the
2-point conversion made it
38-31.
That came three plays after
Cutler's only big mistake of the
game that counted.
The Broncos were heading in
for a score when rookie corner-
back Antoine Cason intercepted
Cutler's pass in the end zone,
thwarting a drive that had eaten
up 9 minutes and 14 plays. Cason
fumbled the ball but it ended up
in safety Clinton Hart's hands,
and three plays later the Chargers
had their first lead.

right, during the second quarter of an NFL football game in Denver on Sunday.
Broncos eke out victory against Chargers
they lost.
Kansas outshot Loyola 19 to
seven, led by junior midfielder
Monica Dolinskys seven attempts,
but were plagued by mediocre
delivery from the flanks and set-
tled for low-percentage passes and
shots as the game slipped away.
We tried to play the ball over
the top, Dolinsky said. The
ground was too wet, its too windy
and it just wasnt working for us.
Despite being pigeonholed in
their own end for much of the
first half, the Ramblers opened the
scoring in the 29th minute when
a moment of individual brilliance
from forward Cynthia Morote-
Ariza split the Jayhawks defense.
Morote-Ariza fought through
two tackles and slipped the ball
through to midfielder Jackie Vera
who beat junior goalkeeper Julie
Hanley from 10 yards.
With temperatures falling after
halftime, Kansas pushed for an
equalizer but Loyola made the best
of its limited opportunities once
again. Free to survey her options,
Vera found midfielder Laura
Trevillian unmarked at the back
post in the 65th minute where the
sophomore guided a diving header
past Hanley.
Francis said he was disappoint-
ed with the way his defense was
positioned on both goals, but also
said he wasnt particularly unhappy
with the way his team competed
either.
Credit to (Loyola), Francis
said. They had two good chances
and they scored them both.
Despite playing with a brisk
wind behind its back for the sec-
ond half, Kansas was content to
send hopeful long balls forward
a strategy Francis said he warned
his players about at halftime to no
avail.
We were hammering the crap
out of the ball going forward,
Francis said of his teams reli-
ance on hopeful balls behind the
defense. We might as well have
shot it, hitting it that hard and try-
ing to play it through.
Though Kansas was spinning its
wheels in the run of play, Dolinksy
snatched a goal back in the 80th
minute when she converted a pen-
alty kick for her fourth goal of
the season. But that was all the
Jayhawks could muster, and the
Ramblers held on for a surprising
road victory.
We hate this feeling, Hanley
said of the sting of defeat. Its the
first time we have had to deal with
it this year. It may help us know-
ing we dont want to feel like this
anymore.
Dolinsky leaDs
kansas past Missouri
state
Despite ending the weekend on
a low note, Kansas picked up its
fifth non-conference victory 4-1 on
Friday against Missouri State.
Junior midfielder Monica
Dolinsky scored and added an
assist, and three other Jayhawks
recorded their first goals of 2008.
Sophomore defenders Lauren
Jackson and Katie Williams and
junior forward Shannon McCabe
scored in the first half for Kansas.
outside hitter Karina Garlington
continued her impressive week,
with a career-high 23 kills.
We had a really good oppor-
tunity to win this tournament,
Garlington said. So I decided to
come out as strong as I could.
Garlington, whose previous
career high was 18 kills against
UMKC last Tuesday, attributed
her strong start to a better focus
on the game and herself.
My mind is really free. Im
not thinking about a whole lot,
Garlington said. Im really clear-
headed.
Bechard said he understood
the improvement and worth of
Garlingtons uprising.
I think theres a natural pro-
gression from freshman to soph-
omore, Bechard said. The game
seems a little easier and slower.
And for Garlington the game
must have been in slow motion
on Friday. Garlington made 44
kills in two games, including
making 21 kills in a four-set vic-
tory against Cleveland State.
Besides Garlingtons play,
the rest of the Jayhawks were
no slouches on Friday. Senior
middle blockers Natalie Uhart
and Savannah Noyes finished
with a season-high 15 kills each,
with freshman Allison Mayfields
11-kill performance not far
behind. The Jayhawks showed
the offensive balance that they
normally have in their victories.
But with every step forward
Kansas took on Friday, it took
one huge step back Saturday
night against UAB.
The Jayhawks finished with
a season-high 30 hitting errors,
getting in one anothers way for
the majority of the match and
looking like a completely differ-
ent team from the one from the
previous night.
We would of liked to, obvi-
ously, finish on a little bit higher
note, Bechard said. We felt like
we game played well. It was one
of those days where everything
we tried, and we tried a lot of dif-
ferent things, just didnt work.
The Jayhawks will get things
clicking as their remaining sched-
ule is reserved for Big 12 oppo-
nents, starting with a road game
against Colorado on Wednesday.
Everyone in the conference
will be a huge struggle, Bechard
said. We know its not going to
be easy.

against all odds, bife
aims for championship
Greg Bife began the Chase for
the championship as a long shot.
At best.
Winless for almost a year and
seeded a distant ninth in the
12-driver feld, few considered
him a serious contender. But The
Bif never counted himself out,
believing a strong run Sunday in
the opener at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway would put him
in position to race for the Sprint
Cup title.
Bife used a self-described
textbook pass on Jimmie John-
son with 12 laps to go to snap a
33-race winless streak and vault
all the way to third in the Chase
standings. He trails co-leaders
Johnson and Carl Edwards, his
teammate at Roush Fenway Rac-
ing, by just 30 points.
I felt like we were a defnite
threat for the Chase if we made it
because of the momentum weve
had and how good the (Chase)
race tracks are for me, he said.
There were some that I was a
little nervous about, and one was
Loudon. Weve gotten through
the one a little better than I ex-
pected, which is here, so I feel like
were defnitely the darkhorse.
Johnson, the two-time defend-
ing series champion, seemed
to have the frst round of the
Chase locked up after leading a
race-high 96 laps. But Bife was
saving his Ford, hopeful that a
late caution or two would give
him the chance he needed to run
Johnson down.
He got it when Patrick Car-
pentier spun late. Bife slid past
Johnson on the next lap to grab
the surprise win and leave Victory
Lane with a noted swagger. It was
his frst victory since Kansas last
September.

Zambrano pitches Cubs
frst no-hitter in 36 years
MILWAUKEE Carlos
Zambrano pitched the frst
no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs
in 36 years, returning from a
sore rotator cuf to shut down
the Houston Astros 5-0 Sunday
night in a game relocated be-
cause of Hurricane Ike.
I guess Im back! Zambrano
hollered.
Pitching for the frst time
since Sept. 2, Zambrano
stopped a Houston team that
had not played since Thursday.
The storm forced baseball to
move two games from Texas to
Miller Park and the Astros few
hours before they took the feld.
Zambrano, known for his
emotional displays on the
mound, kept himself in control
until striking out Darin Erstad to
fnish of the gem. It was base-
balls frst neutral-site no-hitter
in modern history, the Elias
Sports Bureau said.
The big right-hander
dropped to his knees and point-
ed to the sky with both hands
after getting Erstad to swing
and miss. Zambrano (14-5) was
immediately mobbed on the
mound by his teammates.
Im a little confused right
now, Zambrano said. I still cant
believe it. Its a great feeling, a
feeling that you cant describe.
The crowd of 23,441
mostly Cubs fans erupted in
a wild ovation after chanting
Lets go Z! throughout the
fnal inning.
Zambrano struck out a
season-high 10 and walked one
in the Cubs frst no-hitter since
Milt Pappas pitched one against
San Diego in 1972.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Tyler
Thigpen rolled to the left to avoid
the rush, then fired a pass in the
direction of Dwayne Bowe. The ball
caromed off an Oakland defensive
backs helmet and flew 15 yards
back to Thigpen, who just missed
catching his own pass.
It was that kind of day for Kansas
Citys quarterbacks.
The Chiefs tried three quarter-
backs in place of injured starter
Brodie Croyle against Oakland on
Sunday. None was any better than
the next, leading to boos from the
home crowd and a 23-8 loss to
the Raiders in Kansas Citys home
opener.
We got embarrassed at home
in our home opener, Chiefs coach
Herm Edwards said.
How bad was it? The trio had
a combined passer rating of 45.2,
completing 17 of 38 passes for
173 yards 118 in the fourth
quarter, after the Raiders were up
16-0. Balls flew out of bounds,
into the hands of defenders who
should have interceptions, to
open spaces on the field when
receivers turned the opposite
direction.
In other words, it was about
what youd expect from a team
playing without its starter and had
to use three quarterbacks in the
first quarter.
Thats just the way football is
sometimes you just cant get things
going, Thigpen said.
The Chiefs started with Damon
Huard, who nearly led them to a
last-second win over New England
last week after Croyle separated his
shoulder.
The 12-year veteran last just two
series minus one play when
receiver Marques Hagans gained
two yards on a direct snap leav-
ing the game after throwing an
interception that Tyvon Branch
returned 36 yards to Kansas Citys
5-yard line.
Huard came of the field dizzy
and was done for the day, finish-
ing 2-for-4 for 17 yards, his big-
gest play a 15-yard rumble on the
ground when a play broke down.
Youve got to put it behind you,
just forget about it and move on,
Huard said. We know thats not
us, we know were a better football
team than that and weve just to
get better.
Thigpen wasnt a whole lot bet-
ter than Huard, particularly early.
The second-year player from
Coastal Carolina seemed to have
a hard time figuring out where
his receivers were going, throw-
ing several passes in the opposite
direction of their cuts. He was
3-for-12 during the second and
third quarters, leading the Chiefs
to just four first downs while
struggling to read his receivers
and Oaklands coverage.
Once Damon went out, that
kind of limits what were doing
because we havent had that
time with Tyler, tight end Tony
Gonzalez said. Theres a couple
times hes thinking Im going to do
one thing and hes doing the other
thing we just havent had that
timing.
Thigpen finally got it going
in the fourth quarter with a lob
that Bowe tipped and juggled for
a 30-yard reception. He followed
with a 2-yard touchdown pass to
Tony Gonzalez to finish the drive 8
of 11 for 75 yards, then hit fullback
Mike Cox for a 2-point conversion
that cut Oaklands lead to 16-8.
That would be it for Thigpen,
though.
Kansas City got the ball back at
its own 36 with 3:48 left after an
Oakland fumble, giving Thigpen a
chance to be the hero.
Instead, he followed a 19-yard
completion to Bowe with a sack
and a pass at Gonzalezs feet that
Oakland linebacker Kirk Morrison
intercepted.
Thigpen finished 14-for-33 for
151 yards with a touchdown and an
interception. Hagans had the other
completion, hitting Bowe with a
5-yard pass on his only attempt.
As a quarterback, the more
you play, the more comfortable
you feel, he said. I struggled on
a couple third downs, but as the
game went on, I got a little more
confidence.
A running game sure would
have helped.
Kansas City generated just 55
yards rushing on 19 carries, putting
more pressure on Thigpen to move
the offense through the air. And
once the Chiefs fell behind 16-0
midway through the third quarter,
they had no choice but to throw it
every time.
Thigpen handled it relatively
well, particularly for someone
who had six career attempts before
Sunday.
A young quarterback green.
You know that, Edwards said. He
was put in a tough spot. I thought
he did a good job in the 2-minute
at the end where he took the team
down and some throws. But its a
work in progress.

BY RYAN McGEENEY
rmcgeeney@kansan.com
After four and a half months on the
ground in Afghanistan, one thing Brad
Arsenault, a 1991 KU graduate, is sure of
is this: Theres no such thing as a typical
day in Farah, 400 miles southwest of the
Afghanistan capital, Kabul.
Arsenault, the man on the ground for
the United States Agency for International
Development, has had to adapt quickly to
an extreme level of security, an ongoing
epidemic of opium production and a host
of infrastructure problems.
We have a really difficult situation in
Farah, said Arsenault. Whenever I do
travel, its with a lot of security. If I want
to see something, we have to mobilize a lot
of people armored HMMVs, body armor
the security is just another layer to deal
with trying to get to the projects and get
things done.
Arsenault is USAIDs field program offi-
cer to the Integrated Command Team in
Farah, which also includes a military com-
mander and representatives from the U.S.
Departments of Agriculture and State.
Much of Arsenaults day-to-day work
involves working with the elected pro-
vincial council in Farah on issues such as
education, infrastructure and agriculture.
Although USAID doesnt participate in
opium eradication, Arsenault helps to pro-
mote alternative agriculture programs to
make other crops, such as wheat, fruit and
vegetables, more marketable products for
Afghan farmers.
Farah used to have a vibrant, dynamic
and active agricultural base, said Arsenault.
But after the Soviet invasion, the soil just
kind of deteriorated.
But beyond developing more crops,
there are also issues of highway develop-
ment and water management.
Only about 18 percent of Afghanistan
can be cultivated, Arsenault said. So
youve got a small amount of land to work
with, and what you have has to be at maxi-
mum production.
Arsenault said nothing could have fully
prepared him for this experience.
Afghanistan is an isolated place, said
Arsenault. Its not like any other place Ive
ever worked.
Arsenault said that students interested
in working in the international develop-
ment community can best begin preparing
themselves by reading a variety of news
sources.
Pay attention to a given situation
from a global point of view see what
a Chinese journalist is saying, or what an
African journalist is saying, Arsenault
said. Try to begin developing ways of
analyzing a problem or situation from the
point of view of as many different cultures
as you can.
Additionally, Arsenault said that both
his work in the Peace Corps and his gradu-
ate degree made him much more valuable
in the foreign service field.
When you get into international work,
thats what people want to see, Arsenault
said. Having Peace Corps on your resume
lets people know that you can tough it out
in a poor, developing place for a couple of
years without a lot of resources it just
gives you a little street credit.
The journey from receiving his under-
graduate degree in English to promoting
development projects in the Middle East
wasnt a short one for Arsenault, or even
direct. Arsenault participated in study
abroad programs, piquing his interest in
development work in undeveloped areas.
After leaving the University, Arsenault
spent two and a half years in the Peace
Corps, primarily in Central Africa, teach-
ing basic masonry and carpentry skills,
before returning to Chicago, his home-
town. After another six years of roving
from one employer to another, he enrolled
in a graduate program in urban planning
and policy. He returned to Africa working
for a number of non-governmental orga-
nizations from 2001 to 2004 in Guinea,
Sierra Leon, the Ivory Coast and a half-
dozen other countries. None of these coun-
tries could have entirely prepared him for
his current assignment, however.
While Arsenault said he typically tried
to return to the United States at least once
every six months, he also realized that the
situation in Afghanistan would probably
outlast his own service.
Its going forward, Arsenault said.
But its not going forward quickly.

Cast members and musicians worked
yesterday to create an original cast record-
ing of The Girl, the Grouch and the Goat,
a musical by Jack Helbig and Tony Award
winner Mark Hollmanhe. The recording
will be used by Helbig and Hollman when
they send out promotional materials for
the musical.
The musical debuted at the University
this summer and was originally going to
be performed again in August but was can-
celed because of scheduling conflicts. John
Staniunas, associate professor and chair of
the department of theater and film, said
recording all 18 songs would give the cast
an opportunity to say goodbye to the musi-
cal.
I wanted the cast to have closure on the
show, Staniunas said.
After contacting a variety of recording
studios in the Kansas City area, Staniunas
decided to go with LA Audio in Olathe.
Lynn Allred recorded the music and said
it would take about a week to complete the
editing and mixing.
Four musicians played the piano, clari-
net, flute, harp and various percussion
instruments for the show. Ben Shellhaas,
Grand Island, Neb., graduate student,
played seven instruments including a drum
set, marimba and triangle.
Its fun to draw on all your expertise,
Shellhaas said.
Barbara Puckett, program assistant with
the department of theater and film and
music director for the show, said one of
the most challenging parts of making the
recording was finding a balance between
the instruments and the singers.
Its just a matter of getting everybody
on the same page, Puckett said.
Jeff Sears, Overland Park junior, played
the grouch and said making the record-
ing would also be challenging because it
wouldnt be as dramatic as performing the
story on stage.
You have to create character on the
spot and put it into your voice, Sear said.
Students will have the opportunity to
add the recording to their resumes. Logan
Walker, Holcomb senior, said he would
take it on casting calls and give it to pro-
spective agents.
It is definitely going to help in my
career, Walker said.
The musical tells the story of a grouch
in ancient Greece who, during a 20-year
drought, has a monopoly on the towns
only well. When the grouchs son falls
in love with his rivals daughter, he must
accept that their love could be the only way
to please the gods and end the drought.
Sears said being part of the original cast
gave students the opportunity to leave their
marks on the characters and the show.
There is something so rewarding about
creating and owning a character that has
never been seen or heard before, Sears
said. The sense of freedom is exhilarating
to say the least.

Education students are pulling up
chairs next to the dean for free lunch
and good conversation.
Since Dean Rick Ginsberg came to
the School of Education three years ago,
he has been putting time and energy
into a program called Dine with the
Dean.
The program allows groups of 15
students to become acquainted with
Ginsberg and speak to him about any-
thing they might like or dislike about
the school.
This is their vehicle to get to know
me and ask questions, Ginsberg said.
Its how I can get feedback on whats
going well in the school and what stu-
dents like.
In the past, Ginsberg said he had felt
somewhat disconnected from the stu-
dents. He said the Dine with the Dean
meetings provided him with a better
sense of how the education program
should be structured.
Generating interest in this program
was a struggle for Ginsberg at first, but
this semester a significant number of
students have signed up to participate.
I dont think a lot of people knew
about it in the past, said Chris Barritt,
administrative assistant to the dean.
But now Ginsbergs head is posted in
the main office window, so that might
be why.

was posted, students have been filling

Communicating a message:
thats what the Public Relations
Student Society of America is all
about. Learning about the public
relations field, connecting with
professionals, and gaining first-
hand experience in public relations
campaigns are just some of the
things that club members hope to
do as part of PRSSA.
Each meeting, the club invites
a speaker from a different pro-
fessional area of public relations
to give members an idea of what
kind of career opportunities
exist.
Hannah Hartman-Frost, PRSSA
president, said the club tried to
bring in speakers from all realms of
public relations, including corpo-
rate, sports, non-profit and enter-
tainment.
We like to, within a semester,
cover as many topics as we can,
Hartman-Frost said.
Patty Noland, PRSSA faculty
adviser, said public relations itself
was a very broad field that can
encompass a wide range of careers.
Although the job market is
extremely diverse, the general goal
of public relations remains the
same, she said.
Basically what youre doing is
getting information to the public
about the organization for which
youre working, usually trying to
communicate a message about
your organi-
zation ... to
a particular
a u d i e n c e ,
Noland said.
The kind of
overall defini-
tion is to con-
vey positive
messages to
audiences.
M e g a n
P e n r o d ,
L e a w o o d
senior and PRSSA director of pro-
fessional development, said that
public relations was the art of
influencing public opinion.
Its how the public perceives
your business or your organization
and influencing that, Penrod said.
Aside from meeting profession-
als and learn-
ing about PR
itself, the club
gives members
the opportu-
nity to practice
their skills by
working on
real PR cam-
paigns through
J a y h a w k
C o m m u n -
ications, which
i s PRSSAs
student-run PR firm, which takes
on real clients to solve public rela-
tions challenges.
Taylor Wofford, Dallas
senior and director of Jayhawk
Communications, said two poten-
tial clients for this year were the KU
Writing Center and the KU Mens
Hockey Team.
We do everything that a for-
profit PR firm does, including
research, planning, executing stra-
tegic campaigns and evaluation of
those campaigns, Wofford said.
Were always on the lookout for
new and interesting clients. When
we select a client, were look-
ing for freshness, potential and
social importance. Since most of
our work at this time is pro-bono,
we look for clients that couldnt
normally afford a full-time PR
agency.
Public relations, in academ-
ics, is part of the strategic com-
munications major in the School
of Journalism, but all majors are
encouraged to attend.
Hartman-Frost said that because
of the scope that public relations
can cover, students from many dif-
ferent majors may be interested in
joining PRSSA.
Penrod, a communication stud-
ies major, said she joined the club
because she wasnt sure of her
career goals. Now she is looking for
potential jobs and internships in
public relations.
PRSSAs first meeting of the year
features a member of corporate
public relations and graduate of
the KU school of journalism, Sara
Miller, from UMB Bank.
PRSSA meets tomorrow at 7 p.m.
in Dole 2092, followed by Jayhawk
Communications.

When KJHK leaves the Sudler
House in Fall 2009, its neighbors
could be able to use the buildings
space as long as they can pay
the buildings tab.
The Kansas Audio Reader
Network, which provides news
for people with visual impair-
ments and is broadcast by Kansas
Public Radio, operates out of the
Sudler Annex, a few yards away
from the Sudler House. The net-
work would use the building to
help sort and store auction items
like compact discs and cassette
tapes for its annual sale For
Your Ears Only as well as for
facilities operations. KPRs use of
the building depends on whether
the station can pay to restore the
building to the Americans with
Disability Acts compliance codes.
Tom Johnson, KJHK general
manager and faculty advisor, said
the building still had a way to go
before it would meet standards.
It will take a lot of money
to get it up to code if it were
to become a public building, he
said.
The renovations would cost an
estimated $300,000. They include
installing fire sprinklers, railings
and possibly an elevator.
Don Steeples, senior vice pro-
vost, who is kept informed on the
status of the Sudler House, named
the Kade Center the next likely
candidate to use the building if
KPR were unable to pay.
The Kade Center operates in
a building a couple of feet away
from the Sudler House. The two
properties were built together in
1929, with the Sudler House serv-
ing as a stable for horses. The
center plans to restore the Sudler
House to its original state as a
companion building.
These plans depend on the Kade
Centers ability to afford them. For
now though, Steeples said, Until
theyve (Kade Center) got several
thousand dollars to update it, its
going to Audio Reader.

Investigating cause
of fatal train collision

Los Angeles frefghters hand a victimfromtrain car to waiting Los Angeles Police ofcers at the scene of a train accident in Los Angeles on
Friday. A Metrolink commuter train believed to be carrying up to 350 people collided with a freight train, killing 25 people and injuring 135.
Officials deny rumors of text-messaging by conductor
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Federal
investigators on Sunday combed
railroad tracks and crushed wreck-
age looking for evidence to explain
the nations deadliest rail disaster in
15 years and made plans to inter-
view dispatchers.
At the same time, a National
Transportation Safety Board
spokesman played down a report
that the engi-
neer of the
Me t r o l i n k
c o m mu t e r
train had sent
a text message
shortly before
Fridays acci-
dent, in which
25 people were
killed and 135
were injured.
The train
slammed into
an oncoming
Union Pacific freight engine on the
same track at 40 mph.
Metrolink spokeswoman Denise
Tyrrell had said the commuter
trains engineer was at fault because
he failed to stop at a red light on the
tracks but NTSB members cau-
tioned that they had not completed
their investigation.
Eleven NTSB investigators were
working on the accident, said agen-
cy spokesman Terry Williams.
Men wearing green and orange
safety vests walked up and down
the tracks in an early morning fog,
while others snapped pictures and
climbed inside the wrecked shell of
the front passenger car.
Williams said he couldnt con-
firm reports that the engineer was
text messaging shortly before the
crash, but said investigators would
consider that.
Were going to look into that,
anything that can help us find the
cause of this accident, he said.
Dr. Marc
Eckstein, medi-
cal director

Angeles Fire
De pa r t me nt ,
said survivors
injuries includ-
ed partially
severed limbs
and legs flayed
to the bone. At
least two survi-
vors had to be
extricated from
underneath dead bodies and six
victims were discovered under the
train Saturday, he said.
There were bodies cut in half,
and I could see torsos sticking out.
It was pretty horrific, Eckstein
said. The bodies were entwined
with the wreckage.
Eckstein said all rescue person-
nel were required to check in with
a staff psychologist before leaving
the scene but many, including
himself, preferred to deal privately
with what they saw.
hug your wife and kids, I guess, he
said. These people were regular
working people like you and I and
headed home looking forward to a
weekend with their families and
theyre dead in an instant.
Rescue crews recovered two
data recorders Saturday from
the Metrolink train and one data
recorder and one video recorder
from the freight train. The video
has pictures from forward-looking
cameras and the data recorders
have information on speed, brak-
ing patterns and whether the horn
was used.
Families of victims struggled
with their loss after the coroners
office released a partial list of the
names of the dead. Among them
was a Los Angeles police offi-
cer and a city employee who was
believed to work in the general
services office, said Mayor Antonio
Villaraigosa.
Spree Desha, 35, had worked for
the police department for seven
years and spent much of her career
training new officers. She had been
honored 34 times for performance
and professional qualities.
She sat in the first train (car)
as a matter of practice, in uniform,
so if someone came on the train
and made trouble, she was ready
to help out, Assistant Chief Jim
McDonnell said. That was just the
way she did business.

BAGHDAD U.S. Gen. David
Petraeus said Sunday that experi-
ence in Iraq shows it will take
political and economic prog-
ress as well as military action
to tackle increased violence in
Afghanistan.
You dont kill or capture
your way out of an industrial
strength insurgency, he told The
Associated Press in a telephone
interview.
His comments come as a
debate over the need to redeploy
troops from Iraq to Afghanistan
has become a central issue in the
U.S. presidential campaign.
Petraeus, who is widely cred-
ited with pulling Iraq back from
the brink of civil war, is tak-
ing over as chief of U.S. Central
Command, the headquarters
overseeing U.S. military involve-
ment throughout the Middle East,
as well as Afghanistan and the rest
of Central Asia.
Hell hand over the reins in Iraq
to Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno Tuesday
during a ceremony at the U.S.
military headquarters at Camp
Victory on the western outskirts
of Baghdad.
Petraeus counterinsurgency
strategy has paid off in Iraq, where
the number of attacks has dropped
to its lowest point in more than
four years. But he will face a new
challenge with violence rising in
Afghanistan.
It will be a delicate balancing
act to tackle a resurgent Taliban
enjoying refuge in the lawless bor-
der areas of Pakistan without los-
ing ground in Iraq.
Weve got a situation in
Afghanistan where clearly there
have been trends headed in the
wrong direction, Petraeus said.
Military action is absolutely nec-
essary but it is not sufficient.
Political, economic and diplo-
matic activity is critical to capital-
ize on gains in the security arena,
he said.
The 55-year-old general
assumed control of U.S. forces in
Iraq about 19 months ago after
President Bush ordered some
30,000 additional American forces
to Iraq as part of a so-called surge
aimed at stopping spiraling Sunni-
Shiite sectarian violence.
The reason for the decline in
violence is hotly debated, but
the U.S. military cites the troop
buildup, along with a Sunni revolt
that saw former insurgents turn
against al-Qaida in Iraq and a
Shiite militia cease-fire ordered by
a strident American foe Muqtada
al-Sadr.

Wave the Wheat. Rock Chalk
Jayhawk. Win or lose, well still
booze.
These phrases adorn the backs
of hundreds of T-shirts around
campus every day, sported by
proud Jayhawks who most like-
ly dont know where their shirts
come from. But Ben Jefferies,
Tonganoxie junior, does, and that
awareness prompted him to form
KU Students Against Sweatshops
this year.
The goal of KUSAS is to end
KUs participation in the sweatshop
economy. Jefferies defines a sweat-
shop as a factory where workers
are not able to form unions, or earn
high enough wages to solely sup-
port themselves and their families.
The first official semester for
KUSAS has kicked off with the
extensive research into the facto-
ries that produce Kansas apparel
and how the clothes are made.
KUSAS compiled a list of facto-
ries the University buys clothing
from, but research is still ongo-
ing.
Tailan Chi, associate profes-
sor of international business, said
it could be difficult to find and
define a sweatshop because local
regulations vary greatly between
countries.
Some countries with lower
incomes cant afford to have fac-
tory regulations that seem appro-
priate to a developed society like
ours, said Chi. They cant be held
to our standards.
Two hundred universities
around the country have their
own chapters of Students Against
Sweatshops. Jefferies wants KU to
join the ranks of 48 universities
who have achieved the ultimate
goal: a license from the Designated
Suppliers Program.
The DSP is a program that
protects the rights of workers
who sew university logo apparel.
A license from the DSP would
ensure that individual factories
that produce KU apparel are heav-
ily monitored.
The University is licensed by
the Fair Labor Association, but
Jefferies isnt satisfied. He said rep-
resentatives from Nike, Adidas and
Reebok sat on the board of the
FLA, creating a conflict of interest.
The DSP is under the Workers
Rights Consortium, which is com-
pletely independent of corpora-
tions like Nike and Adidas, and has
much stricter enforcement mecha-
nisms, said Jefferies. It would
actually ensure that workers rights
are respected.
Even with monitored regula-
tions in place, it can still be dif-
ficult to know what will go on in
the factories.
Its challenging to enforce these
regulations, Chi said. Every orga-
nization has its own self interest.
You can try to control it, but its
never perfect.
Despite the odds, Jefferies said
he remained optimistic.
We probably have a long road
ahead of us, he said, but its defi-
nitely possible.

Three third-year KU law stu-
dents walk into the upstairs office
of the Hall Building in Kansas
City, Kan., at 9:15 a.m. Theyve
sat through countless hours of
law courses, ran through cases
and filled out
p a p e r wo r k .
But this is no
class. Today
they will work
to solve the
legal problems
of real clients.
The stu-
dents work
at Southwest
B o u l e v a r d
Family Health
Legal Services
Clinic. The legal clinic is for low-
income clients who cant afford
medical services or legal aid.
David Gottlieb, associate dean of
clinical programs at the University,
said the idea for the clinic came
from medical professionals who
discovered their patients legal
problems often hindered complete
recovery of their health.
If somebody comes in and
is injured because they are in
an abusive relationship, treating
their bruises will ultimately be
futile, Gottlieb said.
The clinic, which has been open
since January, recently received a
$300,000 grant from the Topeka-
based Sunflower Foundation.
Patricia Thomas, the clinics
staff attorney, said the grant was a
huge relief for the clinic because it
relies on grants to pay its staff and
operate its facilities.
The law students work at the
clinic eight to 10 hours a week
without pay to fulfill a degree
requirement for clinical work.
They are supervised by Gottlieb,
KU law pro-
fessor, and
Thomas.

ing to alleviate
peoples legal
problems so
they can focus
on their health
p r o b l e ms ,
N a t h a n i e l
Th o mp s o n ,
Neodesha law
student. said.
Thomas said the students had a
client who regularly used the clin-
ics fitness center because he had
diabetes. When the client received
a traffic ticket that suspended his
license, the clinic resolved the
ticket so he could continue visit-
ing the gym to work out. Thomas
said the connection between a
persons legal problems and his or
her health problems was impor-
tant, but not always apparent.
The legal clinic has already
served about 125 clients. The cli-
ents are referred from local medi-
cal offices and the clinic is work-
ing to establish a referral partner-
ship with the University of Kansas
Medical Center.
Thomas requested that the full
names and specific case informa-
tion of the clinics clients remain
confidential.
The health clinic provides
general medicine services, dental
care, fitness, karate and health
classes, cooking classes, a massage
therapist and a literacy program.
We wanted to make it a one-
stop shop so people know they
can go to a specific center and get
a number of services that will help
them, Thomas said.
Thomas said the legal clinic
helped reduce clients stress levels.
The clinic advises clients on issues
related to traffic tickets, family law,
wills and estates, and abuse cases.
Laura Lane, Atchison law stu-
dent, said it was exciting to help
clients exercise legal rights they
didnt know they had. She said
many clients would not have had
access to legal help if they had to
pay fees.
Thompson, who handles wills
and general law cases, said some
clients who faced legal problems
and couldnt afford legal help suf-
fered additional health problems
such as depression and stress.
Thompson said although he
was still only a student, he felt his
training had prepared him for the
reality of clients problems.
I think I can handle it,
Thompson said. I know theres
going to be things I havent
seen before, but thats the whole
point.
Many of the law students
commute from Lawrence, where
they are full-time students at the
University. Thomas said although
only eight to 10 hours a week at
the clinic was required, students
often worked overtime.
theyre doing, Thomas said.
Theyre very dedicated to our
clients and what were doing or

dent, said the client interaction
was something she didnt get
much of in law school. She said
she liked working in conjunc-
tion with other professionals and
helping people deal with a broad
scope of issues.
Julie Larson, Prairie Village law
student, said being a lawyer was
like being a storyteller. She said that
by helping people solve their legal
problems, she was helping them
start a new chapter in their lives.
I just love meeting people and
hearing their stories, Larson said.
This place is filled with a lot of
hope.

U.S. hospitals and long-term
care facilities annually flush mil-
lions of pounds of unused pharma-
ceuticals down the drain, pump-
ing contaminants into Americas
drinking water, according to an
ongoing Associated Press inves-
tigation.
These discarded medications
are expired, spoiled, over-pre-
scribed or unneeded. Some are
simply unused because patients
refuse to take them, cant toler-
ate them or die with nearly full
90-day supplies of multiple pre-
scriptions on their nightstands.
Few of the countrys 5,700 hos-
pitals and 45,000 long-term care
homes keep data on the pharma-
ceutical waste they generate. Based
on a small sample, though, the
AP was able to project an annual
national estimate of at least 250
million pounds of pharmaceuti-
cals and contaminated packaging,
with no way to separate out the
drug volume.
One thing is clear: The mas-
sive amount of pharmaceuticals
being flushed by the health ser-
vices industry is aggravating an
emerging problem documented
by a series of AP investigative
stories the commonplace
presence of minute concentra-
tions of pharmaceuticals in the
nations drinking water supplies,
affecting at least 46 million
Americans.
Researchers are finding evi-
dence that even extremely diluted
concentrations of pharmaceuti-
cal residues harm fish, frogs and
other aquatic species in the wild.
Also, researchers report that
human cells fail to grow normally
in the laboratory when exposed
to trace concentrations of certain
drugs.

HOUSTON Pump prices
jumped above $5 per gallon in
some parts of the country Sunday
as Hurricane Ike, which caused
less destruction than feared, left
refineries and pipelines idled and
destroyed at least 10 offshore plat-
forms in the Gulf of Mexico.
Far beyond areas struck directly
by high winds and flooding, Ike left
behind it a bizarre pattern of prices
at gas pumps,
with disparities
of more than
$1 a gallon in
some states,
and even on
some blocks.
Were on
the other side
of the look-
ing glass, said
Claire Raines,
who lives near
K n o x v i l l e ,
Tenn. I just passed three gas sta-
tions with prices that ran from
about $3.50 to close to $5 within
walking distance.
Average prices exceeded $4
per gallon in Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, South Carolina, Hawaii
and Alaska, according to auto club
AAA, the Oil Price Information
Service and Wright Express.
States fed directly by refineries
along the Gulf Coast were particu-
larly hard hit and supply may be
sporadic for the next few weeks
with refineries shut down, said
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst with
the Oil Price Information Service.
A station in Knoxville, Tenn.,
was asking $5.19 for a gallon of
regular gas. In Nashville, about
180 miles away, gas was going for
$3.50.
Whatever pain is being felt at
U.S. gas pumps will likely be a very
brief phenomenon, analysts say.
The dour drumbeat of the global
economy has the vast majority of
traders believing the world has lost
its appetite for high-priced crude
and gasoline.
The pain was immediate, how-
ever, for 22-year-old college student
Isiah James. He bought four gallons
of gas at $3.99 near the Columbus,
Ohio, suburb of Worthington.
Youve got to work harder, he
said.
Hurricane Ike appears to have
destroyed a number of production
platforms and damaged some of
the pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico,
federal officials said Sunday.
Fly-overs revealed that at least
10 production platforms were
destroyed by the storm, said Lars
Herbst, regional director for the
U.S. Minerals
Management
Service.
Its too
early to say
if its close to
Katrina- and
Rita-type dam-
age, Herbst
said.
The MMS
says Hurricane
K a t r i n a
destroyed 44
platforms three years ago, and soon
after Hurricane Rita destroyed 64.
Herbst stressed the assessments
were preliminary, but the dam-
age appeared far worse than that
caused by Hurricane Gustav two
weeks ago.
Specifics about the size and
p r o d u c t i o n
capacity of the
destroyed plat-
forms were not
i mme di at el y
available.
H e r b s t
said the aer-
ial inspec-
tions showed
Ike damaged
several large
pipelines, but
the extent of
the damage was not known, nor
whether they carried oil or natural
gas.
Since just before Gustavs arrival
two weeks ago, nearly 100 percent
of Gulf Coast crude production has
stopped, or about 1.3 million bar-
rels per day. About 98 percent of all
natural gas production is on hold.
There was limited production
between storms, but that ended as
Ike approached.
Kloza said its unlikely damage
to platforms in the Gulf would
keep prices up for long.
Its not a big deal in the econo-
my we see working in the oil mar-
ket, he said.
The wave of higher gas prices
across large sections of the U.S.
stood in stark contrast to the
direction of crude and gasoline
futures Sunday on the New York
Mercantile Exchange.
Nymex held a special trading
session because of trader concerns
over Ike.
The price for a barrel of light,
sweet crude tumbled $2.43 to
$98.75.
Gasoline futures fell more than
11 cents to $2.65.
The crude sell-off came two
days after a barrel of oil dropped
below $100 for the first time since
April 2.
Overnight, retail gasoline pric-
es nationwide rose an average of
more than 6 cents for a gallon of
regular gasoline, to $3.79, accord-
ing to auto club AAA, the Oil Price
Information Service and Wright
Express.
Overnight changes in the
national average for gas are usually
measured by tenths of a cent.
Shell said
Sunday the
majority of
its stations in
the Houston,
Galveston and
B e a u m o n t
areas remained
closed.
Meanwhile,
two weeks
after Hurricane
Gustav shut
down produc-
tion and closed a dozen refineries
in Louisiana, those same compa-
nies were sending out crews Sunday
to assess damage. The upper Texas
coast is home to about one-fifth
of the nations petroleum refining
capacity, and any prolonged dis-
ruption could severely crimp gaso-
line supplies.
However, because of ongoing
damage assessments and uncer-
tainty about how long it will take
to get power restored, refiners were
unable to say when theyd be able to
resume production of gasoline and
other fuels.
The Gulf also accounts for 25
percent of domestic oil production
and 15 percent of natural gas out-
put. That production was nearly
100 percent shut down Sunday,
though Shell and some other pro-
ducers had begun restaffing plat-
forms and other offshore facilities
that were not in Ikes path.
More than half of Texas 28
refineries have been shut down
because of Ike.
Valero Energy Corp., North
Americas largest refiner, said crews
had found no significant structural
damage at facilities in Houston,
Texas City and Port Arthur.
The company said it had no
timetable for when production
would resume.
crude oil and refined products to
other parts of the country are also
experiencing outages, which will
further complicate the supply situ-
ation, Valero said.

Being homeless in this upper crust
enclave is not exactly like living on
the street in other places.
There are handouts of $2,000
and bottles of Dom Perignon, lucky
finds of Gucci shoes and diamond-
encrusted bracelets, a chance to rub

pretty generous. They pull up in
Porsches and SUVs offering trays

a man with grizzled hair pulling a

chair and a stroller piled high with
a motley bunch of items found in
the trash. He would only identify

NEW YORK As the out-
look for Lehman Brothers dimmed
Sunday, U.S. and foreign banks
were pressed to create a plan aimed
at inoculating the global finan-
cial system against the investment
banks failure, a top investment
banking official said.
Banks were in tense talks to cre-
ate a pool of money worth up to
$100 billion to lend troubled finan-
cial companies, the official said on
condition of anonymity because
the discussions were ongoing. And
officials at the U.S. Treasury and
the Federal Reserve were expect-
ed to announce they are prepared
to be more generous in the Feds
emergency lending program for
commercial and investment banks.
The plan comes as top govern-
ment officials and Wall Street exec-
utives held marathon, but so far
fruitless, meetings to save Lehman
Brothers, and amid signs that the
158-year-old investment bank
might be forced to seek bankrupt-
cy protection and liquidate. The
companys shares have plunged 95
percent in the past year over wor-
ries that it does not have enough
money to cover losses from its
massive real estate holdings.
The official also said the
Treasury Department and the Fed
were pushing Bank of America
Corp. to buy Merrill Lynch & Co.
On Friday, Merrill Lynchs shares
fell as investors fretted it might be
the next investment bank to come
under pressure from its portfolio of
risky mortgage-backed securities.
Expectations that the 158-year-
old Lehman would survive
dimmed Sunday afternoon after
Barclays PLC withdrew its bid to
buy the investment bank. Barclays
and Bank of America were consid-
ered front-runners to buy Lehman,
which is foundering under the
weight of $60 billion in soured real
estate holdings.
The Lehman talks originally
were aimed at selling the invest-
ment bank in whole or in part. The
deal was tripping on the potential
buyers insistence that they receive
the same kind of help that Bear
Stearns Cos. got last March when
JPMorgan Chase & Co. bought the
securities firm with a $29 billion
Fed-backed loan.
Treasury Secretary Henry
Paulson has said the government
will not help close a Lehman deal,
and it was clear late Sunday he was
not budging.
Lehman declined to comment
on the talks.
If no deal were reached, it raised
the specter of a bankruptcy and
liquidation of the investment bank,
which in turn could have a tumul-
tuous effect on world markets. Late
Sunday, Dow Jones industrial aver-
age futures were down 276 points,
or 2.4 percent, at 11,182.
Traders and bankers across Wall
Street came into the office Sunday
to prepare their departments for
what is expected to be a brutal day
in the market. JPMorgan employ-
ees who work trading desks were
asked to come in at 7 a.m. EDT,
way before the markets 9:30 a.m.
open.
An employee at Lehman
Brothers, who spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity, said employees
were briefed of the situation earlier
Sunday afternoon via conference
call. Lehman executives did not
explicitly say the company was fil-
ing for bankruptcy protection, but
essentially confirmed the bank was
planning to liquidate its assets.
There were other signs that
Lehman was moving closer to
a bankruptcy filing, with sever-
al reports that it has hired Weil,
Gotshal & Manges, the law firm
that handled the collapse of
investment firm Drexel Burnham
Lambert in 1990.
Moreover, there was also an
emergency trading session held
at the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association to reduce
risk associated with a potential
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
bankruptcy. The ISDA, which
arranges trades for derivatives,
said it was allowing customers to
make trades and unwind positions
linked to Lehman but that those
trades would be voided if no filing
occurred before midnight.
Paulson, Timothy Geithner,
president of the New York Fed,
and Securities and Exchange
Commissi on Chai rman
Christopher Cox were among those
taking part in the Lehman meet-
ings. Federal Reserve Chairman
Ben Bernanke is actively engaged
in the deliberations but wasnt in
attendance.
Paulsons tough bargaining
stance received support from out-
side observers Sunday, who argued
that the government had no choice
but to draw a line in the sand.
If Treasury put money into
the Lehman deal, then going
forward no deal would get done
without Treasury help, said Mark
Zandi, chief economist at Moodys
Economy.com. Every potential
buyer would wait until Treasury
stepped in and that would mean
Treasury would be on the hook for
a lot more bailouts.
The current situation is differ-
ent from Bear Stearns situation six
months ago.
In Lehmans case, financial mar-
kets have been aware of the com-
panys problems for a much longer
period and have had time to pre-
pare. Investment banks also now
have the ability to obtain emer-
gency loans directly from the Fed,
a crucial support that they did not
have back in March when Bear
Stearns was rescued.
Bankers and government offi-
cials were also trying to tackle a
broader agenda that includes prob-
lems at American International
Group Inc. and Washington
Mutual Inc., said the investment
bank officials, who were briefed on
the talks.
AIG, the worlds largest insurer,
and WaMu, the nations biggest sav-
ings bank, have taken steep losses
during the past year from risky
investments. There were reports
that AIG plans to disclose a restruc-
turing by early Monday thats likely
to include the disposal of major
assets including its aircraft-leasing
business and other holdings.
Lehman put itself on the block
earlier last week. Bad bets on real-
estate holdings which have fac-
tored into bank failures and caused
other financial companies to
founder have thrust the firm in
peril. It has been dogged by grow-
ing doubts about whether other
financial institutions would con-
tinue to do business with it.
Richard S. Fuld, Lehmans long-
time CEO, pitched a plan to share-
holders Wednesday that would
spin off Lehmans soured real estate
holdings into a separately traded
company. He would then raise
cash by selling a majority stake in
the companys unit that manages
money for people and institutions.
That division includes asset man-
ager Neuberger Berman.

KABUL, Afghanistan An
American bombing that killed up
to 90 Afghan civilians last month
was based on false information
provided by a rival tribe and did
not kill a single Taliban fighter,
the presidents spokesman said
Sunday.
The claim contradicted a U.S.
contention that the Aug. 22 raid
on the western village of Azizabad
killed up to 35 Taliban fighters.
There was total misinforma-
tion fed to the coalition forces,
Humayun Hamidzada, the spokes-
man for President Hamid Karzai,
told The Associated Press.
Afghan police arrested three
suspects accused of giving the U.S.
military false intelligence that led
to the bombardment, the Interior
Ministry has said.
An Afghan government com-
mission found that up to 90 civil-
ians were killed, including 60
children, a finding backed by a
preliminary U.N. report.
The bombing strained the U.S.-
Afghan relationship but the coun-
tries remain committed allies,
Hamidzada said.
The operation, conducted by
U.S. Special Forces and Afghan sol-
diers, targeted Afghan employees
of a British security firm and their
family members the reason the
U.S. military recovered weapons
after the battle, Hamidzada said.
The U.S. has said its forces were
fired on first during a raid that tar-
geted and killed a known militant
commander named Mullah Sidiq.
But villagers say their homes were
targeted because of false informa-
tion provided by a rival tribesman
named Nader Tawakil.
An Afghan parliamentarian has
said Tawakil is in the protective
custody of U.S. forces. The coali-
tion has declined to comment.
How the information was
gathered, how it was misfed, and
their personal animosity led to
trying to use the international
forces for their own political dis-
putes, which led to a disastrous
event and caused a strain on the
relationship of the Afghan gov-
ernment and international forces,
Hamidzada said.
Not a single Talib was killed,
he added. So it was a total disas-
ter, and it made it even worse when
there were denials, total denials.
The U.S. at first said that 30
militants and no civilians were
killed. A formal military investi-
gation found that the operation
killed up to 35 militants and seven
civilians.
But after video images showing
at least 10 dead children and up
to 40 other dead villagers surfaced
last week, the U.S. said it would
send a one-star general from the
United States to investigate the
strike.
Afghanistans Interior Ministry
said Friday three suspects had
been arrested for allegedly giving
false information to the American
military, but it did not say who
they were. Hamidzada and the
Interior Ministry spokesman
have also declined to say who was
arrested.
A U.S. military spokeswoman
did not respond to an e-mail seek-
ing comment.
Villagers had gathered for a
memorial ceremony in Azizabad
to honor a tribal leader named
Timor Shah, who had allegedly
been killed by Tawakil, the rival
t r i b e s ma n,
about eight
months ago.
Villagers said
families had
traveled to
Azizabad for
the ceremony,
one of the rea-
sons so many
children were
killed.
The top
NATO spokes-
man in Afghanistan, Brig. Gen.
Richard Blanchette, has said the
U.S. coalition, U.N. and Afghan
government would hold a joint
investigation, but Hamidzada said
the Afghan government would
not take part.
The Afghan government did
not agree to a three-way investi-
gation, because we have already
completed two investigations, he
said.
There is no need to go around
to the village and actually harass
people one more time and remind
them of the terrible ordeal they
went through. We have the facts
straight, we have all the informa-
tion.
Karzai has long pleaded with
international forces to reduce the
number of civilians killed in oper-
ations, and now the government is
studying its status of force agree-
ment governing U.S. and NATO
operations in the country. Afghan
officials are also reviewing the
use of airstrikes by international
forces.
Hamidzada said Azizabad
strained a relationship between
friends.
We can be critical of one par-
ticular issue but we are still part-
ners, he said,
adding there
are ways of
killing Taliban
without hurting
civilians.
If we only
rely on air raids,
we know these
are not accu-
rate, we know
the potential for
civilian casual-
ties is extremely
high, he said. So there has to be a
combination of ground forces and
the use of Afghan military forces.
But you cannot just conduct oper-
ations from the air alone, because
you hurt civilians.
In violence Sunday, a suicide
car bomber attacked a convoy car-
rying Afghan doctors working for
the United Nations in southern
Afghanistan, killing two doctors
and their driver, officials said.
The U.N. said it was trying to
determine whether the bombing
was an explicit attack on the world
body or if the doctors were a tar-
get of opportunity.
Also in the Afghan south,
a British soldier was killed in
an explosion on Saturday, the
Ministry of Defense said.
Elsewhere, seven children died
after ordnance they were play-
ing with exploded, and militants
ambushed and killed seven police,
officials said.

The Boeing-737-500 was
traveling from Moscow when
it went down on the outskirts
of the city of Perm around 3:15
a.m. local time, said Emergency
Situations Ministry spokeswoman
Irina Andrianova. She said there
was no indication terrorism was
involved.
Eighty-two passengers,
including seven children, and six
crew were on board, Andrianova
said. Ofcials said there were no
deaths on the ground and investi-
gators were working to deter-
mine the cause of the crash.
Investigators found the planes
black box fight recorders and
were working to analyze them.
The crash destroyed a section
of railway and shut down part
of the Trans-Siberian railway,
a spokesman for the national
railroad company said.
The plane, operated by a
division of Aerofot, was on its
approach to land when it crashed
into an unpopulated area of the
city, just a few hundred yards
from residential buildings, Andri-
anova said.

program, which started on Sept.
9, will feature six lunches spaced
throughout the fall semester:
three for freshman through senior
undergraduates, one for fifth-year
undergraduate students and two
for graduate students. Originally
only five lunches were scheduled,
but because of growing interest
in the program, another date was
added. Next semester, students will
still have the opportunity to dine
with the dean.
The school relies heavily on its
bond with students, and dining
with the dean is another way to
create that connection.

Bolivia President Morales
struggles with violence
LA PAZ, Bolivia President
Evo Morales struggled to assert
control over a badly fractured
Bolivia on Sunday as protesters
set fre to a town hall and block-
aded highways in opposition-
controlled provinces, impeding
gasoline and food distribution.
At least 30 people have been
killed in the poor Andean na-
tion this week, Interior Minister
Alfredo Rada said. All the deaths
occurred in Pando province,
where Morales declared martial
law on Friday, dispatching troops
and accusing government foes of
killing his supporters.
Pandos security chief, Alberto
Murakami, told The Associated
Press by telephone that 15
people had died and 55 were
injured.
Presidency Minister Juan
Ramon Quintana told local radio
Red Erbol that authorities had
arrested Pando Gov. Leopoldo
Fernandez, for violating the
constitution and generating the
bloody killings of the peasants,
and using assassins against his
supporters.

brief
Actor Damon, musician
Wyclef survey Ike damage
GONAIVES, Haiti There were
cries of adulation and also of
hunger as Matt Damon and
Haitian-born singer Wyclef Jean
toured the food-ravaged city of
Gonaives on Sunday to call atten-
tion to the widespread sufering.
Tropical storm Hanna and
Hurricane Ike submerged the
city and cut of roadways in and
out. Where waters have receded,
streets remained a stinking mud-
bath and homes were left with
a carpet of muck and encrusted
pots, pans and laundry.
As Damon and Jean surveyed
the destruction from the back of
a pickup truck in a U.N. convoy, a
man on a bicycle followed as far
as he could, shouting out, Wyclef,
I love you, Wyclef.Jean raised his
hand, but couldnt bring himself
to smile back.
Its inhumane. I wish there was
a word in the dictionary. No hu-
man should be living like this.
Catching frst sight of fooded
homes and people living on roofs
with all their belongings, Damon
also was at a loss.
Im speechless, I cant believe
it,he said.
Damon and Jean are encour-
aging more people to help the
United Nations raise more than
US$100 million for an estimated
800,000 Haitians in need of aid
after four devastating tropical
storms and hurricanes since mid-
August. They went to a school
shelter Sunday to drop of cooking
oil from USAID and bags of beans
from the World Food Program.
AssociatedPress
Fridays
The presidential election is
49 days away, and the anticipa-
tion is building. Voter turnout
among young adults is increas-
ing. According to civicyouth.org, 47
percent of 18 to 24 year olds voted
in the 2004 presidential election,
up from 36 percent in 2000. With
all the enthusiasm surrounding the
November election, why werent
students this excited about the
Student Senate elections in April?
Voter turnout for the last Student
Senate election was extremely low.
Only 17 percent of the student
body voted. Although this is an
increase from 12 percent the year
before, the turnout is pitiful. Not
voting means not being heard, and
less than a fifth of the student body
had a voice in April.
The presidential election may
seem more significant than the
Student Senate elections, but politi-
cal involvement on campus is just
as important. Student senators have
as much of an impact, if not more,
on our daily lives than the person
we put in the White House.
The decisions of Student Senate
set the foundation of the school
and have been widely questioned,
and sometimes criticized, by stu-
dents. Issues like voting with click-
ers, financing the construction of a
boathouse and making buses free
for students were widely discussed.
But why didnt the majority of the
student body vote?
Apparently only 17 percent of
the student body found these issues
important enough to elect the peo-
ple who control them instead of
just complaining.
Political involvement on campus
does not begin and end with vot-
ing. Students should get involved
in the decision-making process.
If you didnt vote on Student
Senate election day, you can still
have a say about what happens
to your campus and your money.
Students can start petitions and
write referendums. Students can
even write their own bills with the
permission of a student senator.
Student Senate said it is trying
to tackle campus voting apathy.
Student Senate has created a new
committee to reform the election
process in an effort to get more stu-
dents to the polls, said Aly Rodee,
Student Senate communications
director. Student Senate hopes to
shorten the campaigning process
so that students wont feel burnt
out and may be excited to vote.
Being informed about the poli-
tics of the University is just as
important as voting for the presi-
dent. It may even be more impor-
tant. After all, the president does
not manage student fees.
In order to get the best experi-
ence from the University, students
must be informed and involved in
their campus community.
Young people are hungry for a
positive change. This change we
crave will not come from our next
president but from ourselves.

Jayhawks, what

n n n
Im playing Spore right
now. One of the greatest
games since sliced bread, eh?
n n n
If LOLcatz, Battlestar Galactica
and Mr. Potatohead procreated,
youd get the newest video game
sensation, Spore. Its the brainchild
of Will Wright, who created The
Sims, which turned out to be the
best-selling PC game in history.
Spore is similar to The Sims,
in that players control the evo-
lution of their creatures. The
evolutionary premise of Spore is
quite innovative, but when science
and pop culture meet, scientific
accuracy always takes a back seat
to amusement (see Star Trek,
Frankenstein, The Brave Little
Toaster).
Spore isnt trying to teach us
evolution its trying to take up
space on your hard drive. Heres
what you should take with a grain
of salt:
We Are ALL reALLy
cuTe ALiens
Life in Spore begins when
an asteroid hits earth, deposit-
ing multi-celled bacteria that laze
about until a player starts adding
limbs and allows the bacteria to
reproduce. Spore deserves a nod
for including a scientifically sup-
ported background story, but the
space stork is only one theory.
Other scientists think organic
material, such as amino acids and
proteins, was grown in the right
temperature, light and chemical
conditions in some unfortunate
prehistoric time when computer
games couldnt stunt their pro-
ductivity.
nO need TO sAve
THe WHALes
Spore is infused with a humans-
as-divine-beings mentality. While
the creatures dont resemble us, the
game assumes that our conditions
as land-dwelling, group-cooperat-
ing strategic thinkers led to our
survival. This is why the game is so
popular: It feeds our egos by allow-
ing us to control life.
As June bugs have proven, you
dont need much of a brain to
resist extinction. Surviving on land
doesnt guarantee better survival,
either. Whales, the largest aquatic
mammals, actually developed from
land animals. Evolution requires a
pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps
mentality. Organisms survive if
they can use limited resources in a
small area, not if they can conquer
the universe.
iF yOu sucK AT LiFe,
MOve PAsT GO
Spore allows you to skip entire
stages completely after you have
played the game once. Unlike
in Spore, species dont seek out
new ways to succeed unless their
environment or genetic makeup
demands it. In Spore, advancing
from level to level is expected.
seeinG GOd BeHind
THe curTAin
Saving your thatch hut from
burning to the ground in the
tribal phase depends largely on
what type of arms, legs and eyes
players give their creature at the
start. Like the real world, creatures
with the best-fit characteristics
flourish. However, Spore doesnt
notice that evolution isnt a deci-
sion. Organisms dont choose how
they look. Biodiversity arises from
genetic mutations and environ-
mental pressure. Giving players
a God complex ignores the basic
mechanism of evolution natural
selection, not divine power.
But the point of Spore isnt for
the Board of Education to dispatch
librarian patrol over all K-12 com-
puters. Players can overlook the
simplified representations of evo-
lution because Spore isnt a learn-
ing tool: It is science appropriated
for entertainment.
If Spore didnt have the God
complex built in, wed be doing the
same old thing making secret
ugly Sim characters out of our sib-
lings.

Do campus police have
nothing else to do?
I realize at 9:50 on a Thursday
morning there might not be
too much for the ever-so-busy
University police ofcers to be
doing. However, while most
students are still recovering
from dollar night, I was riding
my bicycle to class. With the
Lollipop remix bumpin on my
iPod, I cruised down Jayhawk
Boulevard on the 26-inch rims
of my bicycle.
Midway through the second
fow of rhymes from Lil Wayne, I
hear the sound of a cop car. Are
you kidding me?
Yes, I got pulled over on my
bike. If you were on campus and
witnessed this, please laugh it
up. Although I thought it was
hilarious, the ofcer did not. He
informed me that I was indeed
endangering lives by failing to
yield at a stop sign.
Students: please learn from
my $130 mistake. The University
obviously doesnt have enough
money. Now it seems like we
are in the middle of a war
between the University police
department and the KU Parking
Department to see which can
give out the most ridiculous
tickets.

ASSOCiATED pRESS
The hurricane season has
gotten off to a strong start, and
as hurricanes dart closer to the
Louisiana coastline, officials
should ask themselves how far
the United States has actually
come since Katrina.
New Orleans was whol-
ly unprepared for that
storm, and cities and
states should not hesi-
tate to issue voluntary
evacuation notices, even
if the storm has only a chance of
hitting that location.
Hurricanes present a difficult
situation to government and law
enforcement agencies, especial-
ly during evacuations. Unlike a
tornado, which people can take
shelter from in their basement,
a hurricane forces evacuations
because no type of effective hurri-
cane shelters exist. Even if citizens
stayed, New Orleans showed us
that the damage to water, sewer,
gas and electrical systems would
place them in serious danger.
Unfortunately, hurricanes are
also unpredictable. Even if the
National Hurricane Center can
give people a range of where the
storm might strike, intensity and
exact location are not certain.
Although the hurricane might
fizzle out, mandatory evacuations
should be enforced for any urban
area that might lie in
the path of a hurricane,
simply because of the
likely unlivable state
of the city afterward.
Rural residents should
be given more leeway in
choosing if they want to leave, as
long as they understand their life
is in their hands.
Although it might seem like
a waste of money to prepare for
only a possibility, this country has
seen the devastating consequenc-
es of not doing enough.
All areas in this country are
prone to some kind of natural
disaster, and states should make
sure they have the ability to help
and protect their citizens, even if
the storms arent as disastrous as
projected.
No one should try to balance
the equation of money saved by
comparing it to lives saved.
If you want cars to treat bicy-
cles as equal passengers, you'd
better be prepared to equally
follow the laws of the road.

Luke Russert makes interviewing
debut with presidential nominees
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The reporter
who sat across from John McCain
and Barack Obama for separate
interviews that aired on NBCs
Today show Friday was only 23.
Was he nervous?
Not necessarily, Luke Russert
said. I had prior relationships with
both of them.
He asked both Obama and
McCain about whether community
service should be mandatory for
young people. They said no, but
both presidential candidates said
the United States missed a real
opportunity to teach citizens about
sacrifice following the 9/11 terror-
ist attacks. Matt Lauer debriefed
him about the interviews.
No one would have figured on
seeing a Russert on the Today
show this political season follow-
ing the shocking death of Lukes
dad, Tim Russert, of a heart attack
on June 13.
Offered the chance to report
on youth issues for NBC News,
the gregarious young Russert dove
into the assignment with gusto, tot-
ing a microphone backstage at the
Democratic and Republican con-
ventions. Many of his stories have
appeared on the Nightly News
Web site and he blogs about his
experiences on iCue.com
Hes one of the rookies of the
year, said NBC News President
Steve Capus. Heres a man at the
worst possible time in his life who
stepped into the spotlight with
great poise, strength and a sense of
humor, with a love of politics and a
love for NBC.
Would a young man at his age
and with his credentials secure
such a high-profile job if his last
name wasnt Russert? Doubtful, of
course. But NBC News might be
expected to act paternally toward
a person its employees watched
grow by the side of its beloved
Washington bureau chief and
Meet the Press host.
He often accompanied his dad
on assignments (as a 10-year-old
I was as tall as Ross Perot, he
recalled), riding McCains Straight
Talk Express during the 2000
primary campaign and meeting
Obama at a forum on public ser-
vice in 2006.
But its not as if Russert didnt
bring something to the table. The
recent Boston College graduate has
worked in media since he was a
teenager, co-hosting a sports talk
show on XM satellite radio with
political consultant James Carville.
Before his father died, he had
already lined up a job covering the
presidential campaign for another
XM station. He chose to go to NBC
when it offered more exposure.
The Russert name also undoubt-
edly helped land last weeks inter-
views with the two candidates,
particularly important since many
McCain supporters have been
seething about NBC News.

Writer David Wallace, 46,
commits suicide at home
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLAREMONT, Calif. David
Foster Wallace, the author best
known for his 1996 novel Infinite
Jest, was found dead in his home,
according to police. He was 46.
Wallaces wife found her hus-
band had hanged himself when
she returned home about 9:30
p.m. Friday, said Jackie Morales, a
records clerk with the Claremont
Police Department.
Wallace taught creative writ-
ing and English at nearby Pomona
College.
He cared deeply for his stu-
dents and transformed the lives
of many young people, said Dean
Gary Kates. Its a great loss to our
teaching faculty.
Wallaces first novel, The
Broom of the System, gained
national attention in 1987 for its
ambition and offbeat humor. The
New York Times said the 24-year-
old author attempts to give us a
portrait, through a combination
of Joycean word games, literary
parody and zany picaresque adven-
ture, of a contemporary America
run amok.
Published in 1996, Infinite Jest
cemented Wallaces reputation as a
major American literary figure. The
1,000-plus-page tome, praised for
its complexity and dark wit, topped
many best-of lists. Time Magazine
named Infinite Jest in its issue
of the 100 Best English-language
Novels from 1923 to 2005.
Wallace received a genius
grant from the MacArthur
Foundation in 1997.
In 2002, Wallace was hired
to teach at Pomona in a ten-
ured English Department posi-
tion endowed by Roy E. Disney.
Kates said when the school
began searching for the ideal
candidate, Wallace was the first
person considered.
The committee said we
need a person like David Foster
Wallace. They said that in the
abstract, Kates said. When he
was approached and accepted,
they were heads over heels. He
was really the ideal person for
the position.
Born in Ithaca, N.Y., Wallace
attended Amherst College and
the University of Arizona.

TAMPA, Fla. If faced with the same
decision again, Todd Reesing would do
only one thing different throw the ball
about a yard farther.
Trying to get the Jayhawks into field goal
range with 41 seconds left and the score
deadlocked at 34-34 with the then No.
19 South Florida, Reesing dropped back
to pass and saw wide receiver Raymond
Brown streak down the middle of the field.
Reesing took a chance and let it fly, but the
ball fell a yard short of Brown and right into
the hands of a leaping Nate Allen of USF.
We got what we wanted, Reesing said,
who passed for 373 yards and three touch-
downs. I kind of fell off my back foot a
little bit and just didnt quite get it there. If
I had to do it again, Id probably make the
same decision. I just didnt make the play.
Allen stayed on his feet and returned the
ball 38 yards to the Kansas 26-yard line.
After a one-yard run, freshman Maikon
Bonani hit his third field goal of the game
a 43-yarder as time expired to give
South Florida a 37-34 win.
Just a little bit more and Ray-B may
walk into the end zone and were celebrat-
ing instead of them, Reesing said of his
final heave. Its a tough loss.
Early on it didnt look like Reesing would
need any late-game heroics as the Jayhawks
opened up a commanding 20-3 lead mid-
way through the second half.
But with 2:14 left in the second quarter,
USF quarterback Matt Grothe ran for a
28-yard touchdown that cut the score to
20-10 and changed the complexion of the
game.
After the Grothe score, Kansas went
three and out on five consecutive drives
although they did get one first down as the
result of a penalty on the first play.

Its not often a team can be compared
to literature. But right now the Jayhawk
volleyball team is looking like Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde.
The Jayhawks once again finished sec-
ond at another non-conference tourna-
ment, this time at the Cowgirl Classic in
Wyoming. Kansas lost to the University of
Alabama at Birmingham after two thrilling
victories on Friday night.
Its been the only constant for the
Jayhawks, who have played in three tour-
naments during the non-conference and
have finished with a lone loss every time.
Its those losses, though, that frustrate
coach Ray Bechard,
knowing what his team
can become.
We had a big let-
down yesterday against
UAB, Bechard said.
Im a little bit surprised
by that, after we played
so well Friday.
It was on that Friday
that the Jayhawks
played their most thrilling match of the
season, defeating Wyoming in their first
five-set match of the year. Sophomore

For five games winning was easy for No.
21 Kansas. Every bounce and call seemed
to fall in the Jayhawks favor and they took
advantage, outscoring their opponents by
11 goals and establishing themselves in
national polls in the process.
Kansas finally found out what its like to
be on the other end of the spectrum. Faced
with its first two-goal deficit of the season,
coach Mark Francis team couldnt find
the final ball to bridge the gap as Loyola
University Chicago recorded an upset 2-1
victory on an overcast Sunday afternoon at
the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
I told the team remember what this
feels like because losing sucks, Francis said.
We havent experienced that so maybe we
were taking things a little bit for granted.
The loss is all the more disappointing
considering a victory wouldve matched
Kansas best-ever start. And even more
upsetting considering the manner in which Jerry Wang / KANSAN
Kansas senior midfeld Jessica Bush braces herself for impact during a 2-1 loss against Loyola-Chicago on
Sunday. The Jayhawks scored their only goal with ten minutes remaining in the game.

Well, were of course

Cincinnati Reds picher Bronson Arroyo catches a baseball with the brimof his cap as he watches game action against the Arizona Diamond-
backs in the third inning of a baseball game Sunday, in Phoenix.
They were going to win. Friday
night, 34-34 with the ball and a
minute to do something cool?
Too easy.
Fans saw tight ones last year,
and Kansas always won. Todd
Reesing, the funslinger that he
is, would ask for the
same situation in
every game. And Mark
Mangino, he loves it.
The team that exe-
cutes better in close
games almost always
wins them. And say
what you want about
Mangino and his fixa-
tion with privacy and
pine trees, the Jayhawks always
execute and rarely make the
error.
Thats why Reesings intercep-
tion and Maikon Bonanis ensuing
kick that curved right and wide
before swinging left just inside
the upright came as such a shock.
It was one game, but the loss
felt like more. It was a loss of
innocence. There was something
pure and nave about KU football
last year, like nothing could go
wrong. Because for the most part,
nothing went wrong.
The Jayhawks won every tight
game they were in except Missouri.
Texas A&M and Colorado provid-
ed scares but nothing else. Kansas
State had a million opportunities
to win but didnt.
Aqib Talib or Justin Thornton
would get the extra interception.
James McClinton or Joe Mortensen
would stop someone behind
the line of scrimmage. Reesing
would find Marcus Henry for a
40-yard pass. Somehow, someone
would always bail the Jayhawks
out, whether it was themselves
because of their execution or the
opponents foolish play.
And the Jayhawks did it with
a quarterback who was too small,
a coach who was disrespected for
many years because of his weight
and lack of success, and a corner-
back who wouldnt shut up until
the rest of the country had heard
him say how good his team was.
It was a dream, too good to be
true, only it was true.
Did the South Florida game
change that? It was just one loss
and a quality one at that. Who
knows? It might not dent the
Kansas aura.
After all, the Jayhawks lost to
a team that will be in
the top 25 all season
and will probably win
the depressing Big East
with relative ease. They
played as good as any
team in the country
for the first 30 minutes
and then came back
after receiving confi-
dence-crushing blows
for an entire quarter. They get
plenty of opportunities against
quality opponents later this year
and could still easily compete for
the Big 12 North title.
But when you lose that inno-
cence, nothing feels quite the
same ever again.
Lets get outside
The past 12 days have been a
mess. Lawrence has turned into
Seattle. At least, thats what its
felt like.
According to weather.com, its
rained on all but three days since
Wednesday, Sept. 3. In that time,
the sun has shined the majority
of the time on only one day and
the temperatures have hovered
around the mid-60s.
Summer weather is supposed
to finally return today. It should
be in the 70s and sunny, and stay
that way for about the next week.
So play some tennis, throw a foot-
ball, break out a croquet set, read
a book under a tree. Lets all just
enjoy the bright, sunny days while
we still can.

Big 12 teams dominate
and move up in the polls
STILLWATER, Okla. A week
after going a perfect 12-for-12
against nonconference op-
ponents, the Big 12s member
schools couldnt pull of a second
straight sweep.
Hard as it is to fathom, though,
the top teams in the conference
found ways to look even stronger.
Oklahoma (3-0) put to rest any
talk about last seasons road woes
continuing to linger by decisively
dispatching Washington in its frst
trip to Pac-10 territory since the
Oregon debacle of 2006, and was
rewarded with a bump to No. 2 in
The Associated Press poll Sunday.
And Missouri, which also
nudged up one spot to No. 5,
had a record-setting day behind
Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin
in another game that was over
before the end of the third
quarter.
Daniel became Missouris
all-time passing leader with a
405-yard performance
The defending North and
South division champions com-
bined to win by a 124-31 margin,
and this week neither one was
playing a Championship Subdivi-
sion opponent.
The blowout win made the
Tigers the top-scoring team in the
nation with a 57.7-point average,
and fve other Big 12 teams are in
the top 15 Kansas State (57.5),
Oklahoma (54.7), Oklahoma State
(50.7), Texas (47.0) and Texas Tech
(42.3).
It wasnt all good news for the
Big 12 teams, which went 6-2 this
week to follow up the frst ever
12-0 showing in the conferences

ST. LOUIS Two blowout
losses in two weeks have the St.
Louis Rams groping for answers.
The Rams (0-2) were dread-
ful in a 38-3 opening-game loss
at Philadelphia. They stayed with
the Super Bowl champion Giants
into the fourth quarter Sunday
before three straight New York
touchdowns turned a close game
into a 41-13 loss in St. Louis home
opener.
Everything that could go
wrong did. St. Louis quarterback
Marc Bulger was sacked six times.
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck
blocked a fourth-quarter pass,
caught it, and returned it for a
touchdown. Passes were dropped.
Big gains were negated by pen-
alties. Bulger, on the rare occa-
sions he had time to throw, missed
wide-open receivers.
The defense was no better.
Defenders missed several tack-
les. The Giants had a 441-201
advantage in total yards. In two
games, St. Louis has been out-
gained 963-367.
This isnt the only two good
offenses were going to play, Rams
coach Scott Linehan said. Were
going to play a lot more, and
were going to have to stop people.
Were going to have to score points
on offense and stop people on
defense, and were not doing it.
The Rams had high hopes
entering this season despite a 3-13
showing in 2007. The offensive
line was relatively healthy again
and Al Saunders, the offensive
coordinator behind Kansas Citys
powerful teams in the early 2000s,
joined the coaching staff.
So far, the results have been
disheartening. Even the lone St.
Louis touchdown was something
of a fluke, a 45-yard jump-ball
pass from Bulger that defender
Kenny Phillips tipped and Torry
Holt caught while sprawled on the
ground in the end zone.
Its very shocking and disap-
pointing weve played like this,
running back Steven Jackson said.
We have to have that confidence
that we can fight and play with
anybody. Its going to happen.

TAMPA, Fla. Todd Reesing
swore the South Florida defensive
lines pressure didnt bother him
Friday night.
But he sure spent a lot of time
eluding potential tacklers behind
the line of scrimmage in Kansas
37-34 loss to South Florida. Still,
Reesing said he thought freshmen
tackles Jeff Spikes and Jeremiah
Hatch held up well against the
Bulls vaunted pass rush.
We had plenty of time. They
blocked great, Reesing said. In
the third quarter, we just couldnt
get things going.
Oh, the disastrous third quarter
where the Bulls scored 17 points
in the middle of a 31-0 run to take
the lead from the Jayhawks. In less
than 20 minutes, Kansas went from
being ahead 20-3 to falling behind
34-20.
And much of the problems dur-
ing that run came froman inability
to stop South Floridas pass rush,
while failing to supply quarterback
pressure of its own defensively.
Kansas converted six of nine
third-down conversions in the first
quarter. Whenever South Florida
appeared to have it stopped, Reesing
stepped up in the pocket and calm-
ly found the open receiver.
He didnt have that luxury in
the second half. USF All-American
defensive end George Selvie rushed
past Spikes on the first third-down
attempt of the second half and
forced Reesing to throw the ball
away. It didnt stop. It was merely a
preview of the rest of the game.
Their ends were split out very
wide, Kansas coach Mark Mangino
said, and what their philosophy
was is they wanted to beat those
kids out of their stance.
Mangino said considering the
wide splits and how much Kansas
threw the ball 51 times he
thought the offensive line played
fine. Mangino, however, couldnt
hide his disapproval with the effort
from the defensive line.
While the Bulls forced Reesing
to scramble sideline-to-sideline
and make quick decisions, USF
quarterback Matt Grothe often had
all the time he needed.
He ran for a 28-yard touch-
down to start the 31-0 run at the
end of the second quarter after
he scanned the field for several
seconds without finding an open
receiver. Grothe waited for senior
receiver Taurus Johnson to out-
run the coverage and delivered a
21-yard pass for the second USF
touchdown, which tied the score
at 20.
We have to be able to get to the
quarterback with a four man rush
and were not doing that, Mangino
said. Were not getting there.
Kansas did record two sacks,
but both came on blitzes. Senior
linebackers Mike Rivera and James
Holt each knocked down Grothe
once.
Mangino said Kansas would
have to become more efficient on
getting pressure on the quarterback
without sending linebackers.
When we have to bring five or
six that means we have to man up
in some situations, Mangino said,
and we really dont want to man
up with a couple of younger kids
that are in the secondary. Theyre
not ready for that yet.
A prime example came on
South Floridas final touchdown.
The Jayhawks sent a linebacker,
which left sophomore cornerback
Isiah Barfield alone covering USF
receiver A.J. Love.
Barfield, in his first career start,
didnt stand a chance. Love blew
past himfor a 37-yard pass on a go-
route to make the score 34-27.
Reesing brought Kansas back
to tie the game despite plenty of
green jerseys in the Kansas back-
field. Selvie seemed to stall the
tying touchdown-drive when he
beat Spikes off the ball and sacked
Reesing for an 11-yard loss.
Selvie almost got another sack
two plays later, but Reesing tossed
a quick shovel pass to junior guard
Angus Quigley for a 14-yard touch-
down.
It wasnt enough. USF fresh-
man kicker Maikon Bonani made
a 43-yard field goal to win the
game. Perhaps if Reesing benefited
from better protection in the third
quarter, the outcome would have
been different. But thats not what
Reesing thought.
Everybody wants to say our
tackles are young, Reesing said.
Thats over with. They played their
asses off, they fought hard and they
did the best they could.

that tied the game at 20. The play
was initially ruled an incomplete
pass but was reviewed and over-
turned after the replay judge ruled
that Jackson had control of the ball

After a Jamar Taylor 13-yard run

found A.J. Love for a 38-yard score
that made it 34-20 and capped a
31-0 run for the Bulls.
Its unexplainable,safetyDarrell
Stuckey said of the turnaround.
After once holding a controlling
17-point lead, Kansas now found
itself down by 14 early in the fourth
quarter.
We had control of the game in
the first half, Reesing said. The
offense just didnt do anything in
the third quarter. We fell apart.
But Reesing and company
refused to go down without a fight.
The Jayhawks responded with an
impressive drive, converting four
third down conversions before
Reesing found Jonathan Wilson for
his second touchdown of the game
an 18-yard grab that cut the defi-
cit to seven with 9:51 to play.
We got it going in the fourth
quarter but it was just a little bit
too late, said Wilson, who had
10 catches for 171 yards and two
touchdowns.
After the KUdefense got a much
needed defensive stand thanks to a
James Holt 16-yard sack on third
down, the KU offense went back
to work. Faced with a third and 20
from the USF 45, Reesing scram-
bled again and found Kerry Meier
who had 11 catches for 120 yards
for a leaping grab that went for
26 yards and gave the Jayhawks a
rare first down.
After a 5-yard USF penalty for
having 12 men on the field, Angus
Quigley took a shovel pass from
Reesing 14 yards into the end zone
to tie the game at 34 with 5:32 to
play.
Quigley led Kansas in rushing
for the third straight game but had
just 22 yards on three carries. As a
team, the Jayhawks continued their
struggle on the ground, accumulat-
ing only 61 yards on the ground on
21 attempts.
The KU defense got another big
stop following the Quigley touch-
down, setting up what the Jayhawks
thought was going to be the game-
winning drive.
We had all the confidence in
the world that we were going to
drive down and score and win the
game, Reesing said. We had just
had two big drives to tie the game
and had a chance there for a big
play but the ball was just a little
underthrown and the safety made a
hell of a play.
Coach Mark Mangino praised
Reesing after the game, saying he
had no problemat all with his deci-
sion on the last play.
You play to win the game,
Mangino said. Youre on the road
youre not playing for overtime.
Those things happen. Thats not the
issue. There are other issues that we
need to deal with but one of them
is not Todd.
No longer worried about an
undefeated season, Kansas will host
Sam Houston State on Saturday
before opening Big 12 play after a
bye week at Iowa State on Oct. 4.
It always hurts to come a long
way and lose, Quigley said. But
its early in the season and this
doesnt have anything to do with
Big 12 standings and our goal in the
North. Obviously were not where
we thought we were, so we have to
come out and go back to work.

Former First Team
All-American and Orange
Bowl MVP Aqib Talib
joined his former team-
mates on the feld before
and during the Jayhawks
37-34 loss to South Florida
on Friday night.
Talib, a frst round draft
pick of the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers, predicted to
his Buccaneers teammates
after Fridays practice that
Kansas would win by three
touchdowns.
He has a lot of pride for
the Jayhawks, said Bucs
cornerback Phillip Bucha-
non. He talks about them
all the
time.
Talib
said
he still
stayed
in
contact
with
several
current KU players, includ-
ing cornerback Kendrick
Harper. Despite the loss,
he expects Kansas to have
another successful season.
I like the experience
that they brought back,
Talib said. I think they are
going to go a long way.
I saw Chris (Harris) and
these guys during seven
on seven drills and they
looked real good.
Look for a profle of
Talib and his journey to
the NFL, including photos
of his family at its Tampa
home, in The Kansan in the
next few weeks.

Jon Goering/KaNSaN
Running back angus Quigley breaks a tackle on his way to a 20-yard gain on Kansas fnal
drive in the fourth quarter. Quigley was the Jayhawks leading rusher again, gaining 22 yards on
three carries. Other running backs Jocques Crawford and Jake Sharp combined for 26 yards.
Jon Goering/KaNSaN
South Florida kicker Maikon bonani boots the ball past the outstretched hands of Phillip Strozier, right, and JefWheeler, left, for the game-winning 43-yard feld goal as time expires. Bonani also made feld goals of 23 and 34 yards.
Jon Goering/KaNSaN
Defensive end Jake laptad pressures South Florida quarterback Matt Grothe a little too much. He picked up a personal foul penalty on the play,
taking away his sack. It was one of the fewtimes the KU defense got into the backfeld and caused problems for Grothe.
Jon Goering/KaNSaN
Quarterback todd Reesing walks of the feld after the loss to South Florida, only the second one of his career. He threwfor 373 yards and three touchdowns but his late interception allowed the Bulls to set up the game-winning feld goal.

Coming off a third place finish
in the Fairway Club Invitational
in Nebraska City, Neb., last
week, the mens golf team will
host the Kansas Invitational
today and tomorrow at Alvamar
Golf Club.
With two freshmen and one
sophomore, Kansas hopes for
its underclassman to lead the
team.
We have the chance to be a
really sneaky team, said coach
Kit Grove. Right now we are
just gaining some experience.
Sophomore Nate Barbee, who
had a career best fourth-place
finish last week, believes that
coming home to Lawrence will
help the team.
Being at our home course, if
we all play our game, I dont see
why we shouldnt win, Barbee
said.
Freshmen Ian Anson and
Blake Giroux, who placed 25th
and 42nd in last weeks tourna-
ment, will look for more con-
sistency on the course. In the
Fairway Club Invitational, Anson
scored 75 in
both rounds
and Giroux
scored 78 and
76 respec-
tively.
W i t h
some matu-
rity some of
these guys
are look-
ing to grind
out 73 and
74 instead
of high 70s
or over 80,
coach Grove
said.
S e n i o r s
Walt Koelbel and Andrew Storm
round out the Jayhawks starting
five and senior Zach Pederson
will compete as an individu-
al. Pederson has finished in
the top-20 in each of the three
tournaments at the Kansas
Invitational.
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
The cross country squad went
to Columbia, Mo., prepared to take
on the rolling hills and the Tigers
in the Missouri Cross Country
Challenge. However, both the mens
and the womens teams fell short
and took second place behind the
Tigers despite solid performances
from some of the Jayhawks.
In the mens 8k race, the top
three spots were taken by Missouri
runners. The winner was Mizzou
sophomore Michael Pandolfo, who
ran unattached with a time of 26:42,
followed by Mizzou redshirt senior
Michael Barrows and sophomore
Phillip King.
For the Jayhawks, freshman
Zach Zarda finished sixth overall
and first for the Jayhawks with a
time of 27:12. Its the second meet
this season that a freshman has
finished first for the team, after
Donny Wasinger finished first at
the Bob Timmons Classic.
I think as a team, we all had a
bad day, Zarda said. I think I had
a less of a bad day but still not a
good day.
Zarda ran with a side-stitch dur-
ing the race.
Its never happened to me
before, but I had to suck it up and
tough it out, he said.
Right behind Zarda was junior
Isaiah Shirlen and senior Brock
Ternes. Despite the effort, the
Tigers beat out the Jayhawks by
a score of 22 to 33 to take first
overall.
Shirlen was optimistic and felt
like the team improved in working
together.
I think we
did twice as well
as two weeks
ago, he said.
Shirlen said
he thought his
performance in
Columbia was
better than at the Bob Timmons
Invitational.
The Jayhawks had been pre-
paring for the infamous hills at
the A.L. Gustin Golf Course in
Columbia, but the team said the
rain was a factor in their perfor-
mance, making the hills and grass
soggy.
Ive ran on worse hills before,
Zarda said. It still takes a lot out
of your legs, and your feet sink
into the ground instead of bounc-
ing off.
As for the womens team, junior
Lauren Bonds took first place not
just for the Jayhawks but first over-
all with a time of 18:59. Its the
second meet in a row that Bonds
has taken first place overall with a
time under 19 minutes.
Sophomore Amanda Miller
took fifth place overall and second
for the Jayhawks followed by Kara
Windisch in sixth and Amanda
Knoll in 10th. The rest of the top
10 was dominated by the Tigers,
giving them a score of 24 to 35.
Miller felt that the team did the
best it could under the circum-
stances.
It was hard but I think we did
the best we could with the foot-
ing being bad and muddy on the
turns, she said.
Miller also said that prior to the
womens race,
there were high
school races
and also the
mens 8k.
M i l l e r
believed that
all of the hill
workouts were
helpful.
The course wasnt that hilly
until the last mile, she said. I
think it got us prepared for that last
mile of the course.
Miller said what she got from
the race was how their team com-
peted against another Big 12 team
and what the competition is like
in the conference, since the Bob
Timmons Invitational did not fea-
ture any Division I schools.
Although the Jayhawks may
have not gotten the victory against
Missouri, Shirlen felt like the
potential for the team is there.
The team is so young and has
so much potential, he said. I think
the marginal improvement is going
to be huge two months from now.
A lot of the guys will be in much
better shape.
Junior Bret Imgrund, who fin-
ished 15th overall, had a similar
opinion about the team.
If we stay healthy and work
hard, then itll come, he said. Its a
long season, we need to focus and
keep improving.
The next race for the Jayhawks
isnt until Oct. 4 when they head to
Stillwater, Okla., to compete in the
OSU Jamboree. Shirlen said that
theres more competition in store
for them in Stillwater.
We have to stay mentally
tough, he said. Oklahoma State is
one of the top two or three teams in
the nation. Its tough competition
especially for the freshmen, but I
think theyll be tough enough by
then to handle it.

Manning, Vinatieri rally
Colts past Vikings by FG
MINNEAPOLIS The India-
napolis Colts were overwhelmed
at the line of scrimmage again,
and the swarming Minnesota de-
fense frequently pounded Peyton
Manning into the Metrodome
turf.
But the Colts put the Manning
touch on another impressive
rally, thanks to a handful of clutch
completions near the end by
their stalwart quarterback, and
reminded the Vikings its just not
possible to win without throwing
the ball.
Manning passed for 311 yards
and moved Adam Vinatieri in
position for the winning feld
goal with 3 seconds left, leading
Indianapolis to an 18-15 victory
on Sunday after Minnesota led
15-0 late in the third quarter.
We played a lot of man, got
in their face, got a lot of pres-
sure, but it wasnt enough, said
Antoine Winfeld, who had one of
Mannings two interceptions. Hes
been around. Hes seen it all. You
can never rattle him, I dont think.

New England manages
to win without Brady
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Matt Cassel made no mistakes
in his frst NFL start at least
none that were costly.
Brett Favre, making his 255th
straight, made a mistake that
hurt the New York Jets badly in
a 19-10 loss to New England on
Sunday an interception that
led to the games frst touch-
down and gave the Patriots the
momentum they needed.
Cassel smiled at the compari-
son.
Hes a great quarterback. I
used to watch him all the time
when I was growing up, Cassel
said. Thats the way this game
goes sometime.
The way this game went is
the way a lot of games may go
for the Patriots without Tom
Brady. They did it last week
against Kansas City and they
did it again Sunday limit
Cassels mistakes and let Wes
Welker, Sammy Morris, Kevin
Faulk, Richard Seymour ,Vince
Wilfork and Adalius Thomas
win it.

CLEVELAND Brian
Bannister finally got a win as his
Kansas City teammates kept piling
up hits and runs.
Bannister won for the first time
in nearly three months and Ryan
Shealy homered twice and drove in
five runs as the Royals totaled 17
hits to defeat the Cleveland Indians
13-3 Sunday.
Bannister (8-15) gave up four
hits and three runs in the first
inning, then settled down and won
for the first time in 14 starts to snap
his nine-game losing streak. He had
not won since beating Colorado in
an interleague game June 23. His
last win over an AL club was June 1,
a 6-1 triumph in Cleveland.
Over the last couple of months,
it seems like my confidence has
been tested every time out,
Bannister said. I felt that today
in the first inning, but it was nice
that the offense exploded and took
some of the pressure off my shoul-
ders.
The right-hander improved
to 3-1 with a 1.91 ERA in five
career starts against the Indians
after allowing three runs and six
hits over six innings. He had been
pounded for 10 hits and seven runs
over 3 2-3 innings by Minnesota in
his previous start Tuesday and had
a 7.79 ERA during his streak.
It will be much more fun going
into my next start with this under
my belt, Bannister said. The
offense stuck it to them and didnt
shut it down. It was fun to watch.
Shealy had his second career
multihomer game, giving him four
homers and nine RBIs since being
recalled from Triple-A Omaha on
Tuesday. The five RBIs tied a career
high.
Im getting pitches to hit and
even the balls Im not hitting hard
are finding holes, Shealy said. Im
going to try to ride this out.
Jose Guillen drove in three runs
while David DeJesus and Alberto
Callaspo had two RBIs apiece as
Kansas City hit .366 (59-for-161)
in the four-game series, winning
the final three.
Hopefully, its one of those
things that we can keep going,
Royals manager Trey Hillman said.
DeJesus put Kansas City ahead
5-3 with a two-out, two-run single
off Edward Mujica (2-2) in the
fourth. Guillen followed with a
two-run double off Juan Rincon.
Grady Sizemore doubled off
Bannister to lead off Clevelands
first inning. Jhonny Peralta and
Ryan Garko had RBI singles around
a sacrifice fly by Victor Martinez
for a 3-0 lead.
The Royals tied it at 3 in the
third off Indians starter Jeremy
Sowers. Shealy hit a solo homer in
the second. In the third, Callaspo
had an RBI double and scored on
Shealys two-out bloop single to
right.
Sowers retired the side on eight
pitches in the first, then needed 67
pitches to get through the next two
innings.
When you throw that many
pitches in a couple innings, I didnt
see it getting any better, Indians
manager Eric Wedge said. Its a
little far-fetched to think hes going
to go out and find it.
Sowers gave up three runs and
five hits over three innings, his
shortest outing in 14 starts since
June 30, a three-inning stint in a
loss to the Chicago White Sox.
I wasnt terrible, but I was leav-
ing the ball up, Sowers said. I
think some of it could be a testa-
ment to their hitters. They were
seeing the ball good the whole
series and you run into teams like
that sometimes.

Royals overcome Indians in
Cleveland; Shealy hits 2 homers
AssociAted Press
DENVER Showing ultimate
confidence in his offense, Mike
Shanahan went for the 2-point
conversion with 29 seconds left
and Jay Cutler hit rookie Eddie
Royal over the middle to give the
Denver Broncos a 39-38 win over
the stunned San Diego Chargers
on Sunday.
The Chargers (0-2) couldn't
believe they lost in the final
seconds for the second straight
week.
Trailing 38-31, the Broncos
(2-0) reached the 1 but on third-
and-goal, Cutler reared back to
throw and the ball slipped out of
his hands, bounced off the grass
and into linebacker Tim Dobbins'
hands.
But referee Ed Hochuli blew
his whistle, apparently ruling it an
incomplete pass. After a review,
Hochuli said that the Broncos
would keep the ball because his
whistle had blown the play dead.
The Broncos got the ball at the
10-yard line, where it had hit the
grass out of Cutler's hands.
Two plays later, Cutler hit Royal
for the TD to make it 38-37.
Instead of going for the tie,
however, Shanahan kept his
offense on the field and with
75,000-plus fans at Invesco Field
holding their breath, Cutler again
found Royal in the end zone for
the winner on the exact same
route.
Cutler's dart split three defend-
ers and Royal cradled the pass in
his gut, avoiding safety Clinton
Hart but not the thrilled team-
mates who piled on in celebra-
tion.
The Chargers had one last
chance but Philip Rivers' des-
peration heave into the end zone
missed Chris Chambers, who had
four catches for 83 yards and two
touchdowns.
Cutler completed 36 of 50
passes for a career-best 350 yards
and four TDs and enjoyed the
return of Brandon Marshall, who
set a franchise record with 18
catches for 166 yards in a magnif-
icent return from his one-game
suspension.
Marshall's receptions were two
shy of Terrell Owens' NFL record
of 20 set for San Francisco against
Chicago earlier this decade.
With LaDainian Tomlinson
slowed by a jammed right big toe,
his backup, Darren Sproles had a
career day, piling up 317 all-pur-
pose yards on 14 touches, includ-
ing a 103-yard kickoff return for
a touchdown in the first half and
a 66-yard catch-and-run for the
go-ahead score with 4:22 remain-
ing.
Sproles took a short pass
from Rivers, who completed 21
of 33 passes for 377 yards and
three TDs, and raced through
the Broncos' befuddled defense
to put the Chargers on top 36-31.
Legedu Naanee's catch for the
2-point conversion made it
38-31.
That came three plays after
Cutler's only big mistake of the
game that counted.
The Broncos were heading in
for a score when rookie corner-
back Antoine Cason intercepted
Cutler's pass in the end zone,
thwarting a drive that had eaten
up 9 minutes and 14 plays. Cason
fumbled the ball but it ended up
in safety Clinton Hart's hands,
and three plays later the Chargers
had their first lead.

Broncos eke out victory against Chargers
they lost.
Kansas outshot Loyola 19 to
seven, led by junior midfielder
Monica Dolinskys seven attempts,
but were plagued by mediocre
delivery from the flanks and set-
tled for low-percentage passes and
shots as the game slipped away.
We tried to play the ball over
the top, Dolinsky said. The
ground was too wet, its too windy
and it just wasnt working for us.
Despite being pigeonholed in
their own end for much of the
first half, the Ramblers opened the
scoring in the 29th minute when
a moment of individual brilliance
from forward Cynthia Morote-
Ariza split the Jayhawks defense.
Morote-Ariza fought through
two tackles and slipped the ball
through to midfielder Jackie Vera
who beat junior goalkeeper Julie
Hanley from 10 yards.
With temperatures falling after
halftime, Kansas pushed for an
equalizer but Loyola made the best
of its limited opportunities once
again. Free to survey her options,
Vera found midfielder Laura
Trevillian unmarked at the back
post in the 65th minute where the
sophomore guided a diving header
past Hanley.
Francis said he was disappoint-
ed with the way his defense was
positioned on both goals, but also
said he wasnt particularly unhappy
with the way his team competed
either.
Credit to (Loyola), Francis
said. They had two good chances
and they scored them both.
Despite playing with a brisk
wind behind its back for the sec-
ond half, Kansas was content to
send hopeful long balls forward
a strategy Francis said he warned
his players about at halftime to no
avail.
We were hammering the crap
out of the ball going forward,
Francis said of his teams reli-
ance on hopeful balls behind the
defense. We might as well have
shot it, hitting it that hard and try-
ing to play it through.
Though Kansas was spinning its
wheels in the run of play, Dolinksy
snatched a goal back in the 80th
minute when she converted a pen-
alty kick for her fourth goal of
the season. But that was all the
Jayhawks could muster, and the
Ramblers held on for a surprising
road victory.
We hate this feeling, Hanley
said of the sting of defeat. Its the
first time we have had to deal with
it this year. It may help us know-
ing we dont want to feel like this
anymore.
Dolinsky leaDs
kansas past Missouri
state
Despite ending the weekend on
a low note, Kansas picked up its
fifth non-conference victory 4-1 on
Friday against Missouri State.
Junior midfielder Monica
Dolinsky scored and added an
assist, and three other Jayhawks
recorded their first goals of 2008.
Sophomore defenders Lauren
Jackson and Katie Williams and
junior forward Shannon McCabe
scored in the first half for Kansas.
outside hitter Karina Garlington
continued her impressive week,
with a career-high 23 kills.
We had a really good oppor-
tunity to win this tournament,
Garlington said. So I decided to
come out as strong as I could.
Garlington, whose previous
career high was 18 kills against
UMKC last Tuesday, attributed
her strong start to a better focus
on the game and herself.
My mind is really free. Im
not thinking about a whole lot,
Garlington said. Im really clear-
headed.
Bechard said he understood
the improvement and worth of
Garlingtons uprising.
I think theres a natural pro-
gression from freshman to soph-
omore, Bechard said. The game
seems a little easier and slower.
And for Garlington the game
must have been in slow motion
on Friday. Garlington made 44
kills in two games, including
making 21 kills in a four-set vic-
tory against Cleveland State.
Besides Garlingtons play,
the rest of the Jayhawks were
no slouches on Friday. Senior
middle blockers Natalie Uhart
and Savannah Noyes finished
with a season-high 15 kills each,
with freshman Allison Mayfields
11-kill performance not far
behind. The Jayhawks showed
the offensive balance that they
normally have in their victories.
But with every step forward
Kansas took on Friday, it took
one huge step back Saturday
night against UAB.
The Jayhawks finished with
a season-high 30 hitting errors,
getting in one anothers way for
the majority of the match and
looking like a completely differ-
ent team from the one from the
previous night.
We would of liked to, obvi-
ously, finish on a little bit higher
note, Bechard said. We felt like
we game played well. It was one
of those days where everything
we tried, and we tried a lot of dif-
ferent things, just didnt work.
The Jayhawks will get things
clicking as their remaining sched-
ule is reserved for Big 12 oppo-
nents, starting with a road game
against Colorado on Wednesday.
Everyone in the conference
will be a huge struggle, Bechard
said. We know its not going to
be easy.

against all odds, bife
aims for championship
Greg Bife began the Chase for
the championship as a long shot.
At best.
Winless for almost a year and
seeded a distant ninth in the
12-driver feld, few considered
him a serious contender. But The
Bif never counted himself out,
believing a strong run Sunday in
the opener at New Hampshire
Motor Speedway would put him
in position to race for the Sprint
Cup title.
Bife used a self-described
textbook pass on Jimmie John-
son with 12 laps to go to snap a
33-race winless streak and vault
all the way to third in the Chase
standings. He trails co-leaders
Johnson and Carl Edwards, his
teammate at Roush Fenway Rac-
ing, by just 30 points.
I felt like we were a defnite
threat for the Chase if we made it
because of the momentum weve
had and how good the (Chase)
race tracks are for me, he said.
There were some that I was a
little nervous about, and one was
Loudon. Weve gotten through
the one a little better than I ex-
pected, which is here, so I feel like
were defnitely the darkhorse.
Johnson, the two-time defend-
ing series champion, seemed
to have the frst round of the
Chase locked up after leading a
race-high 96 laps. But Bife was
saving his Ford, hopeful that a
late caution or two would give
him the chance he needed to run
Johnson down.
He got it when Patrick Car-
pentier spun late. Bife slid past
Johnson on the next lap to grab
the surprise win and leave Victory
Lane with a noted swagger. It was
his frst victory since Kansas last
September.

Zambrano pitches Cubs
frst no-hitter in 36 years
MILWAUKEE Carlos
Zambrano pitched the frst
no-hitter for the Chicago Cubs
in 36 years, returning from a
sore rotator cuf to shut down
the Houston Astros 5-0 Sunday
night in a game relocated be-
cause of Hurricane Ike.
I guess Im back! Zambrano
hollered.
Pitching for the frst time
since Sept. 2, Zambrano
stopped a Houston team that
had not played since Thursday.
The storm forced baseball to
move two games from Texas to
Miller Park and the Astros few
hours before they took the feld.
Zambrano, known for his
emotional displays on the
mound, kept himself in control
until striking out Darin Erstad to
fnish of the gem. It was base-
balls frst neutral-site no-hitter
in modern history, the Elias
Sports Bureau said.
The big right-hander
dropped to his knees and point-
ed to the sky with both hands
after getting Erstad to swing
and miss. Zambrano (14-5) was
immediately mobbed on the
mound by his teammates.
Im a little confused right
now, Zambrano said. I still cant
believe it. Its a great feeling, a
feeling that you cant describe.
The crowd of 23,441
mostly Cubs fans erupted in
a wild ovation after chanting
Lets go Z! throughout the
fnal inning.
Zambrano struck out a
season-high 10 and walked one
in the Cubs frst no-hitter since
Milt Pappas pitched one against
San Diego in 1972.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Tyler
Thigpen rolled to the left to avoid
the rush, then fired a pass in the
direction of Dwayne Bowe. The ball
caromed off an Oakland defensive
backs helmet and flew 15 yards
back to Thigpen, who just missed
catching his own pass.
It was that kind of day for Kansas
Citys quarterbacks.
The Chiefs tried three quarter-
backs in place of injured starter
Brodie Croyle against Oakland on
Sunday. None was any better than
the next, leading to boos from the
home crowd and a 23-8 loss to
the Raiders in Kansas Citys home
opener.
We got embarrassed at home
in our home opener, Chiefs coach
Herm Edwards said.
How bad was it? The trio had
a combined passer rating of 45.2,
completing 17 of 38 passes for
173 yards 118 in the fourth
quarter, after the Raiders were up
16-0. Balls flew out of bounds,
into the hands of defenders who
should have interceptions, to
open spaces on the field when
receivers turned the opposite
direction.
In other words, it was about
what youd expect from a team
playing without its starter and had
to use three quarterbacks in the
first quarter.
Thats just the way football is
sometimes you just cant get things
going, Thigpen said.
The Chiefs started with Damon
Huard, who nearly led them to a
last-second win over New England
last week after Croyle separated his
shoulder.
The 12-year veteran last just two
series minus one play when
receiver Marques Hagans gained
two yards on a direct snap leav-
ing the game after throwing an
interception that Tyvon Branch
returned 36 yards to Kansas Citys
5-yard line.
Huard came of the field dizzy
and was done for the day, finish-
ing 2-for-4 for 17 yards, his big-
gest play a 15-yard rumble on the
ground when a play broke down.
Youve got to put it behind you,
just forget about it and move on,
Huard said. We know thats not
us, we know were a better football
team than that and weve just to
get better.
Thigpen wasnt a whole lot bet-
ter than Huard, particularly early.
The second-year player from
Coastal Carolina seemed to have
a hard time figuring out where
his receivers were going, throw-
ing several passes in the opposite
direction of their cuts. He was
3-for-12 during the second and
third quarters, leading the Chiefs
to just four first downs while
struggling to read his receivers
and Oaklands coverage.
Once Damon went out, that
kind of limits what were doing
because we havent had that
time with Tyler, tight end Tony
Gonzalez said. Theres a couple
times hes thinking Im going to do
one thing and hes doing the other
thing we just havent had that
timing.
Thigpen finally got it going
in the fourth quarter with a lob
that Bowe tipped and juggled for
a 30-yard reception. He followed
with a 2-yard touchdown pass to
Tony Gonzalez to finish the drive 8
of 11 for 75 yards, then hit fullback
Mike Cox for a 2-point conversion
that cut Oaklands lead to 16-8.
That would be it for Thigpen,
though.
Kansas City got the ball back at
its own 36 with 3:48 left after an
Oakland fumble, giving Thigpen a
chance to be the hero.
Instead, he followed a 19-yard
completion to Bowe with a sack
and a pass at Gonzalezs feet that
Oakland linebacker Kirk Morrison
intercepted.
Thigpen finished 14-for-33 for
151 yards with a touchdown and an
interception. Hagans had the other
completion, hitting Bowe with a
5-yard pass on his only attempt.
As a quarterback, the more
you play, the more comfortable
you feel, he said. I struggled on
a couple third downs, but as the
game went on, I got a little more
confidence.
A running game sure would
have helped.
Kansas City generated just 55
yards rushing on 19 carries, putting
more pressure on Thigpen to move
the offense through the air. And
once the Chiefs fell behind 16-0
midway through the third quarter,
they had no choice but to throw it
every time.
Thigpen handled it relatively
well, particularly for someone
who had six career attempts before
Sunday.
A young quarterback green.
You know that, Edwards said. He
was put in a tough spot. I thought
he did a good job in the 2-minute
at the end where he took the team
down and some throws. But its a
work in progress.
