EDITORS NOTE
Science has never been my thing. Fitting into the writers hate math and science stereotype, I struggled through Biology, Chemistry and Math 002, 101 and 105. However, I do remember a small brush with a love of science. In second grade there was a drain in my elementary schools playground, filled with a green-gray pool of muck that was a veritable gold mine of fascinating wildlife. I poked and prodded around that drain, playing scientist, for at least a year. The rest of the kids couldnt fathom why I would rather play in a smelly drain than join in the kickball or red rover fun. But I loved it. And then one day the higher-ups at my school had it covered and my future as a scientist (and my drain fun) was over before it could really begin. I still have the upmost respect for scientists and Charissa Youngs article about boundry-breaking, risktaking scientist Edith Taylor (p. 10) made me almost regret my disdain for science. Just dont ask me to solve a geometric proof.

Advice from Arachne

Psychic counselor Arachne suggests some prep steps for choosing a psychic. Make sure you ask these four questions before booking an appointment: 1. If you can tape the session or bring a friend. If the answer is no, dont go. Theyre usually trying to hide something. 2. How much the reading costs. Find out if the quote is for the session or the time. If its for the time, make sure to ask how much it will cost if the session runs long. 3. If you have to pay before the session. This doesnt always scream shady, but usually its a steer clear sign. 4. About a refund. Your time is just as valuable as a psychics, so if youre not fully satisfied, there is no reason to pay.

ppropriately known as The Teacher, KRS-One (Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone), is the Socrates of hiphop. According to KRS-One, hiphop began in 1972 in New York Citys Bronx borough. A young man known as DJ Kool Herk, who spun records at Cedar Park, sparked a new era of music, dance, art and culture. KRS-One gave praise to hip-hop pioneer Afrikaa Bambaataa, who developed the four hip-hop pillars (peace, love, unity and having fun), when I spoke to him before his concert at the Granada on March 31. Q: What is the difference between rap and hip-hop? A: Rap is something we do, whereas hip-hop is something we live. The living of hip-hop produces rap. Today, rappers are imitating what they see. They arent creating. Many of todays rappers talk about nothing but bitches and hoes and bling-bling. That is not what hip-hops all about. Q: What are the major elements of hip-hop? A: Hip-hop is the name of our creative intelligence. The four major elements are the MC, the DJ, the B-Boys and B-Girls (break dancers) and graffiti. Plus, the culture that comes with each element. Q: What do you think of the Midwest music and hip-hop scene? A: I really like whats going on now. Ive been touring the Midwest off and on for 20 years. Kansas, especially Lawrence and Kansas City, have embraced hip-hop culture, and everyone here tonight (in the audience) is hip-hop.

&a
With KRS-One

Q: What do we, as a community, need to do in order to gain higher recognition and respect in hip-hop? A: Honestly, someone needs to blow up. MCs, DJs, B-Boys and B-Girls from around here should network with us, and we can help. Q: What do you think of rappers appearing in commercials. Are they selling out? A: Well, I did a Nike commercial in 1995 and got criticized a hell of a lot for that. When Nike approached me, I was in a real dilemma, but I needed the money, so I did it. Q: Why do you tour on campuses across the country? A: I give lectures at universities because I love what I do, and I want people to really hear what I have to say about hip-hop as a way of life. Q: What about the issue of rap artists degrading women in their songs? A: The degrading of women has got to stop. I hold a tremendous amount of respect for women. They are the reason hip-hop is here. I was raised by a single mom, and I owe everything to her. David Heller

OUT

Chris Brower

COSMOPOLITICS
Cosmopolitics bring with them a variety of styles including progressive rock, jazz, fusion and funk. Cosmopolitics rely on solid grooves and tight musicianship to make a sound unlike any youve heard before. Their influences are Rush, Frank Zappa and Phish. Cosmopolitics will be the answer to those looking for intense musicianship.

APPROACH

BRODY BUSTER
Brody is one of the most talented musicians to ever come out of Kansas. Hes been burning a trail through the country with his insane harmonica talents since picking up the instrument at age 7. From an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (at age 10) to jamming with B.B. King, Brody has been leaving his mark on Kansas City Blues.

PERCIVAL
Fresh off the recording of their new EP Indian Summer, Percival has been playing shows around Kansas City trying to gain fans with their alt-country sound. Whereas most alt-country bands these days are putting more rock into their sound, Percival remains true to their roots. Armed with influences like Ryan Adams, Neil Young and The Band, Percival will be an exciting band to see.

Classic movies keep students homebound

nostalgia, budget lead some to shun bars in favor of renting movies

HEY YOUUUUU GUYYYYYYYS! As children of the 80s, we remember the excitement and awe we felt as Sloth, the lovable misfit hero from The Goonies, slid down the sails of an abandoned pirate ship to rescue his friends from the evil Fratelli family. And you can probably recite most of the lines too. Nostalgia brings us back to cult movies like The Goonies over and over again. And for many KU students, renting classic movies keeps them indoors and on their couches most Friday and Saturday nights. Casey Green, Lawrence senior, says its relaxing. His girlfriend has a son, so the couple is more homeoriented, he says they arent as interested in going out or partying. Renting videos is an activity Green remembers from his childhood and that he says he wants to pass on to his girlfriends son. Watching movies was a big part of his childhood, Green says. He would imitate the movies he watched. I remember being in kindergarten, pretending I was one of the Goonies and beating up my neighbors sprinkler system because I thought I was Chunk and was digging for hidden treasure, he says. He and his girlfriend visit their favorite rental store, Hastings, 1900 W. 23rd St., at least twice a week. The couple will rent up to eight movies a week, especially on the weekend. Weekends are the most popular times for college students to rent videos, says Maria Gonzalez, a shift manager at Blockbuster Video, 1516 W. 23rd St. Some weekends, the surge of customers nearly empties the shelves, she says. Most college students like the latest releases and comedies. Cult classics also are popular. Seven, Donnie Darko, The Big Lebowski and Snatch are rented most often, Gonzalez says. While Green watches videos to bond with his girlfriend and her son, other students find that renting videos provides a cost-efficient opportunity to entertain friends. Sometimes I dont want to deal with going out and parking and walking and all that, says Kevin Lafferty, Overland Park senior. Lafferty, who subscribes to the online rental service Netflix, receives eight movies per month, on average, through the mail. When hes not watching videos with his brother, Lafferty likes to entertain friends by inviting them to his apartment to watch his latest videos. Its an experience that costs $3 that you can share with a group, he says. Lafferty likes to invite friends over to watch videos. He thinks that its easier to have conversations with friends at home and its more cost-efficient than going to local restaurants or bars. A tight budget is one reason college students rent videos, says Kristen Soper, assistant video manager for Liberty Hall Video and DVD, 646 Massachusetts St. Wanting more interaction than theatres allow is another. Its something thats more social than going out to a movie theater, where you cant talk and discuss the movie and you can invite a dozen people over and watch, Soper says. Plus, Lafferty says, You can drink your own booze.

All hail the Queen

Edith Taylor leads future female scientists of America by example
Edith Taylor isnt thinking about the sub-zero wind blowing against her numb face. As she leads her field team across the Transantarctic Mountains, all she can think about are fossils. Finding fossils. Specifically, fossils entombed in rock-like peat. Surveying the barren landscape ahead, she trudges forward in her mountaineering boots on to the next patch at the end of the plateau. Pick in hand, Taylor takes a deep breath and swings at a hard black mass. These specimens may be able to tell us about the future of global warming. Fifty-four-year old Taylor is from a breed so rare, she might as well bleed blue. Taylor is one of the worlds leading experts on plant fossils and she has explored Antarctica on eight separate occasions. She was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. But, most importantly, Taylor is a female scientist in a line of work still heavily dominated by males, a fact she is actively working toward changing. In fact, the KU Womens Award Hall of Fame recognized Taylors advocacy work and inducted her in 2004. Taylor may be queen in Antarctica, but at the University, shes more fittingly democratic. Instead of brown bag lectures, Taylor leads brown bag discussions. Arms crossed, salt-and-peppered hair securely bunned, she sits at the front of a classroom across from scientists diverse in age, ethnicity and gender, who come on their own time to discuss the politics of women in science. They begin by discussing the pipeline effect, in which women drop out of their careers on the way to the top. This is not unheard of at the University of Kansas. The number of male to female assistant professors is almost equal, 149 to 138, respectively, the Office of Institutional Research and Planning (OIRP) reported in 2005. But at the higher position of professor, women constitute only 18 percent of the faculty. Taylor made it through the pipeline, but she says women often feel they have to choose between their careers and raising a family because the government doesnt offer enough support, like childcare or maternity leave, for female scientists to be successful at both. If societys brightest women are then choosing not to reproduce, our society is in big trouble, she says. In an effort to educate KU students on the oppression of women in science, Taylor teaches the seminar Women in Science each fall. The course introduces students to scientific products, inquiry and careers as studied by feminist scholars. Ive been a real champion for getting more girls to go into science and getting more college women to go on and do more graduate work in science, Taylor says. Heather Burkard, KU alumna, took Taylors seminar in the fall of 2004. She says Taylor taught everything from gender discrimination in health insurance coverage to the medias stereotypical portrayal of female scientists as spinsters. Taylor defies this stereotype by balancing teaching and researching with marriage and children, Burkard says. She hasnt seen

many female role models in science like Taylor, which she says makes it difficult for women to imagine themselves in the field. We could definitely use more Edith Taylors in the world, Burkard says. Women like her are few and far between. Taylors agenda to increase the number of females in the science pool seems to be working, at least with one student who took the seminar. Jennifer McNutt, KU alumna, says that learning about prominent female scientists provided her the motivation to push forward to be a cosmetic surgeon. She wants to be a role model like Taylor and other scientists she learned about in the seminar, she says. Taylor doesnt just talk the talk when it comes to getting more women in science, but she also walks the walk, as Thomas Taylor, her husband and coworker, says. In addition to speaking out on feminist issues, Edith Taylor actively volunteers in several outreach programs to recruit future generations of female scientists. Taylor has participated in TRIO days, which serve underrepresented and lowincome students. She supports these young high school students, whom she sees as potential scientists, by giving them the joy of discovery through hands-on workshops. Last month, Taylor volunteered at Expanding Your Horizons, a discovery program that connects women in math or science careers to girls in sixth through eighth grades. Patty Ryberg, Omaha graduate student, assists Taylor at these workshops. Taylor

lets the students participate in science, Ryberg says, teaching them how to prepare Antarctican fossils for the microscope while talking to them about her travels to the continent. She really makes science exciting and accessible, Ryberg says. The fossils Taylor uses in these workshops is not in short supply at the University. Taylor says her field teams, which collected the fossils, have added at least 200,000 specimens to the Universitys fossil plant collection, the largest in the world. The peat Taylor discovered in Antarctica is particularly important because it could help experts predict the effects of global warming. With carbon dioxide levels constantly on the rise, Taylor says,the only way we can know the future of global warning is to look back at the past, to look at fossils. The fossils are preserved in petrified peat, which looks like dark rock. Petrified peat is akin to backyard compost turned to stone, Taylor says. The tree rings found in the peat serve as a fossil record that tells us not only how old a tree was, but also what sort of climate it lived in, she says. Because plant life is practically nonexistent in Antarctica today, it seems unimaginable that the continent once had forests full of trees. But Antarctica, in fact, had a warm climate 260 million years ago. Some people dont worry about global warming because it will lead to more vegetation growth in areas previously too cold to support it, Taylor says. But, as Taylor has found, the trees that grew in

antarctIca: tHe cOld Hard factS

Antarctica is 98 percent thick continental ice sheet and 2 percent barren rock The United States is about 1.5 times larger than Antarctica The highest temperatures occur in January along the coast and average slightly below freezing There are 27 stations for restricted helicopter landing In 1998, NASA satellite data showed the antarctic ozone hole was the largest on record, covering 27 million square kilometers
Source: The World Factbook, http://www.cia.gov/

Antarctica were not dense enough to be used as building materials. If trees 200 years from now are as spongy as the ones that grew in the Permian Age in Antarctica, they will be of no use. If you asked Edith Taylor 30 years ago if she could imagine herself collecting rocks on the coldest continent on earth, she probably would have let out one of her contagious full-bodied laughs. Back then, she knew women only as nurses, teachers, artists or secretaries. Thirty years ago, Taylor was behind a typewriter, tediously typing up reports as a secretary at a chemical abstract company. Because she wasnt challenged by her job, Taylor grew bored and quit. She then enrolled at Ohio State University as a piano major. Indifferent to which course she would take to fulfill a science requirement, she took botany because it had the fewest lab hours. While she struggled through her piano training studies, her experience in the lab, coupled with motivating role models such as plant anatomist Kathryn Easu, convinced Taylor to switch majors. Years later, working toward a graduate degree in botany, she met Thomas then her Ph.D. adviser, now her husband. In 1995, the husband-wife team joined the KU faculty in biological sciences. The University of Kansas is ideal among universities, Taylor says, because there are a lot of women working in the science departments. In the fall of 2005, the OIRP reported that 31 percent of the

biological science faculty was female, which Taylor says is better than most universities. Although gender equity has improved over the years at the University of Kansas and universities nationwide, Taylor says that an imbalance still exists, particularly in the sciences. There are 922 male faculty members and 565 female faculty members across disciplines at the University, the OIRP reports. Specifically to the natural sciences, which includes all the sciences ranging from biology to physics, only 52 of the total 212 faculty members are women, constituting about 24 percent significantly less than the 38 percent on faculties across campus. After 11 years at the University, Taylor is living proof that a woman can have a career and a family, and succeed at both. She couldnt have done it without the support of her husband and coworker Thomas, she says. Thomas was there to support Taylor on her first expedition to Antarctica in 1985, and has accompanied her on seven of her eight visits. Although she was the team leader, Thomas says, questions were deferred to him not only because he was male, but also because he was older and had been in paleobotany longer. Now that people are aware of her reputation, he says, its a different story when theyre working at the South Pole. Now in Antarctica, shes the boss. Its her

field, he says. Jeffrey Osborn, professor and chair of the biology department at Truman State University, accompanied Taylor and observed her leadership on two Antarctic expeditions. During their most recent trip to Antarctica in 2003, bad weather and logistical problems delayed helicopter and plane transport from the camp to the field sites. Taylor reorganized her field teams schedule with the six other teams schedules to maximize their productivity, while re-coordinating transportation, Osborn says. Shes an excellent role model to both men and women alike, he says. Some males in the field have interpreted Taylors domineering personality as bitchy, Osborn says. Like all of us, we can have another side to our personality. Edith is charming and very engaging, and she also has a strong personality type A, he says. Unfortunately, in our society, if a woman comes across as assertive and with a strong personality, people may perceive that as bitchy. Edith may tell you about such a reputation, but it doesnt accurately reflect her personality. Despite the use of the word bitch as a derogatory term towards women, Taylor says that she has taken ownership of her reputation as the bitch queen of the Midwest. Society doesnt value a woman thats not afraid to give her opinion. If speaking

your mind makes you a bitch, than Im proud to be one. If someone wants to call me a bitch for knowing my own mind, then Ill have to say thank you, yes, I am, Taylor says. Though shes faced discrimination in the field on past expeditions, Taylor doesnt hesitate to return to Antarctica. She submitted a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation to travel there again to continue her research, but was turned down, which she says is common. Taylor is adjusting her proposal based on reviewers comments and plans to resubmit it. If approved, Taylor will travel to Antarctica with Thomas and Ryberg next year. As Taylor continues to trek to Antarctica to collect more specimens, she also continues her legacy as a prominent and respected scientist, not just a female one. In the field, she attentively taps at the luminous black rock like she begrudgingly did on a typewriter so many years before. But in Antarctica, no one tells her what to do. In Antarctica, Taylor is on her own turf. And, there, she rules.

of thing with your partner. If youre in a healthy relationship, you should be able to talk about these things without hurting the other person (most of the time). I was always taught, if you cant talk about sex, you shouldnt be having it and I still believe its true. I think you should pose the suggestion in such a way that it benefits her, have you ever thought about going bare? I hear it increases pleasure for women . . . and honestly, I think itd be sexy. If she responds well to that, then great. If she seems skeptical, Id take it down a notch to just trimming instead of going bare or try using Brians Plan A.

How sHould I go about convIncIng my partner tHat sHe needs to trIm Her busH? derek, junIor
Brian: Try this: go down on her, and while youre down there, act like you are trying to bite her leg to turn her on. When you do this, miss, get a mouthful of hair, and pull. Shell scream and ask what the hell you are doing. Your response should be I tried to playfully bite you, but your pubes got in the way. Maybe if you trim your bush, thatll never happen again. If she doesnt like that idea, just put a bunch of razors in her undies drawer with a note:Dear Susie, roses are red, violets are blue, shave your bush, or Ill break up with you. Jessica: Thats a touchy subject. As much as I adore Brians poem, its not as tactful as being able to openly discuss this sort

My girlfriend tried to use a dildo on Me and i broke up with her. is that wrong? Jeff, sophoMore
Brian: No, you did everything perfectly. If she tried to use that on you, you have the right to break up with that dirty whore. Nothing phallic-shaped should ever go near any part of an unsuspecting man. If anything does, the man reserves the right to grab the dildo and break it in half. After that, shell never try to use a dildo on a man again. Jessica: She disrespected you sexually without your permission.Tried to use a dildo on you? Im trying to understand . . . did she just whip it out and say,hey honey close your eyes I have a surprise for you? I think breaking up with her was an overreaction, but if it means that much to you, maybe its for the best. Keep in mind that people are going to mess up, and Im sure there will be a time when you slip something into the wrong hole, too. Brian: Its the same reason why we love porn, Sports Illustrateds swimsuit issue and cleavage.We love gorgeous girls.Women at strip clubs know how to move their bodies so well that they could give Bob Dole an erection you can imagine what it would do for a college guy with raging hormones. If you have issues with it, either go to stripper school or deal with it. You cant eliminate everything that is important to your boyfriend. If you do, youre restricting his right to be a man. And to do that would make you a biotch.

Why do guys love going to sickass strip clubs? especially if they have a girlfriend? Janine, Junior
Jessica: Correction: Not all guys love going to sick-ass strip clubs . Im positive there are men out there who care more about their relationship than hanging around with their buddies checking out some T and A theyll most likely never have anything to do with. I think for guys with girlfriends its more for the social atmosphere

than anything, and trying not to be the guy without control over his life.Think about it: If he cant go out because his significant other disapproves, hell be whipped big loss in a mans world. Its unfortunate, but true. If you have a girlfriend (the same goes for girls with boyfriends), your respect for your relationship should far outweigh what your friends will think of you if you opt out of the club.Your friends opinion may matter on some issues, but its the two of you in this relationship, not the friends.

Can men and women be just friends?

Does sex get in the way?

Ross and Rachel started out as friends, but fell in love. So did Monica and Chandler. Even Jerry and Elaine crossed the platonic relationship line and slept together during Seinfeld. So maybe Harry was right when he met Sally and concluded that men and women can never be just friends the sex part always gets in the way. The question of whether men and women can ever really be friends isnt just black and white, says Les Parrott, professor of psychology at Seattle Pacific University and a Families Northwest Relationship specialist, along with his wife Leslie Parrott. It really depends on the people, the Parrotts say. Men gain a different level of intimacy from a friendship with women than women do from a friendship with a man, they say. Men report a level of nurturing that they cannot get from relationships with other men, Les Parrott says. He says men can show their weaknesses and not feel they are being judged. This intimate connection can lead to feelings of romance for both men and women that greatly change the relationship. Emily Akers, Shawnee Mission sophomore, says its these feelings that can ruin a platonic friendship. She says she would urge someone to not tell a friend about romantic feelings for them unless the person is absolutely sure that the feelings are reciprocated. Its happened to me before, and I ended up feeling bad that the feelings werent mutual, Akers says. We werent friends after that. Besides confessing feelings for one another, Akers also warns, sex will change relationships altogether and often ruins them. She thinks, however, that most guys are looking for laid-back girls to be friends with and not a romantic relationship at all. Brandon, Arkansas senior, sees things differently. He admits that every guy thinks of their platonic girl friends in a sexual way at least once during the relationship. Were guys, its hard not to, he says. Despite differing views, Leslie Parrott says that for most people, a just friends relationship is possible. However, she says, it requires a maturity and an ability to grow in ways that are not necessary with same-sex friendships. Weve thought long and hard about this issue, she says. Weve listened to

many peoples stories and read all the research. And we have concluded that yes, it is possible for these friendships to work. So enjoy being just friends with the opposite sex and prove Harry wrong by not letting sex get in the way.

BOOK

MARLEY&ME BY JOHN GROGAN

Most of us have grown up with some sort of pet. We know what its like to bring it home, how it finds its place in the family and the paralyzing loss when a pet dies. In Marley & Me, journalist John Grogan recounts the life of his yellow Labrador, Marley. Marley was the first pet of John and his wife, Jenny. Wanting experience in nurturing before having children, the Grogans visited a breeder and picked out a rambunctious puppy. The novel recounts Marleys life with the Grogans, including family vacations, neighborhood tragedies and the births of the three Grogan children. Besides being a fun read for those tired of English lit books, Marley is genuinely funny, mostly because a lot of us have had dogs that act similarly. Grogan affectionately calls Marley the worlds worst dog, and with good reason. The enormous lab chews everything in sight, terrorizes the dog-sitter, eats Jennys jewelry and is terrified of thunderstorms to the point of digging holes in the ground to get away from them.

Parts of the book are also moving, such as when Marley consoles Jenny after her first pregnancy ends in a miscarriage, how he interacts with the children and when the Grogans have to say good-bye to their friend. Marley is a funny and meaningful memoir about taking responsibility, having patience, unconditional love and how families come together. In short, its a novel about what it means to be a pet owner. Morrow, $12.95, Available in hardback

Slither is one of those movies that you cant really call bad without qualifying it. Its wonderfully bad, delightfully bad, marvelously god-awful. The movie is set in a small Southern town. The citizens are a grotesque bunch, by Hollywood standards their faces havent been airbrushed, and their stomachs havent been aided by liposuction. The characters are: innocent heroine Starla Grant (Elizabeth Banks), her possessive husband (Michael Rooker) and Sheriff Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion), who has been in love with Starla since childhood. The movie spends a lot of time setting the stage. Im not sure why. Once the alien invasion starts, the background becomes moot. The invader is a pulsating, prostheticsladen space alien who fathers thousands of fleshy red slugs that get into peoples brains by way of their mouths

(were treated to an X-ray view of the process, in case anyone is unclear). As alien invasions go, this is probably one of the most disgusting our planet has experienced. Personally, I found the bug in Men in Black a little more repulsive, but I have a thing about cockroaches. There are genuinely funny bits in Slither, though, if youre in the right mood, the whole movie will be hilarious. Just be aware that the movie is as close to being about nothing as a movie can be. At first it looks like it might develop some subplots; dont be fooled. Once the meat slugs take over the town, its just blood, gore, body-snatched townspeople, and lots of slithering.

Responsive controls, fast-paced fighting and great handling: These are key qualities when it comes to making a good fighting game. Naruto: Clash of Ninja has these things going for it, yet it lacks depth. The controls are great to handle. The movements of the characters are smooth, so players can pull off combos effortlessly. However, super moves are often too easy to perform. Pressing a single button can yield massive damage to your opponent. While the animations are nicely done and the moves are superb, it seems more should be done for initiating so much damage. The characters have some distinction, but it isnt enough. With the basic combat moves being limited to only two buttons, the definition of each of the characters fighting moves cant be expanded upon. This takes away from any depth this game could possess. Character graphics are done well. The characters are smooth and the animations of the character movement arent choppy. The unlockables for the game also give the game a definite replay value. The main problem with this game is keeping the attention of other gamers. The game is extremely easy and doesnt have a big learning curve. Ten minutes of playing will make anyone an exceptional player. The survival mode is perhaps the best way to refine skills. Also, the game is very short. It takes only six minutes to complete. However, the versus mode will bring players back for more. Naruto: Clash of Ninja has all the basics required for a good fighting game. Unfortunately, thats pretty much all it has. Gamecube

MOVIE
I was quite entertained while watching Spike Lees Inside Man. But part of it was because I anticipated a big-bang, shock ending which the film didnt deliver. Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) claims hes planned the perfect bank robbery. He and his accomplices enter a Manhattan bank wearing painter jumpsuits, take the customers and employees hostage, and force them to strip down and wear the same costume that the robbers are wearing. The questions from the beginning are: what does Russell want? Why that bank? Why hasnt

Chris Moore

he killed anyone? What is he so desperate for? The branch owner of the bank, Arthur Case (Christopher Plummer), thinks he knows, but he tells no one. This is clearly about more than money. From there, it becomes a battle between the police force and the robbers. Just when the head detective on the case, Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington), thinks hes making headway, and even perhaps outsmarting Russell, he finds hes been bugged, or has been listening to a tape recording. Russell seems to have thought of everything. So you can see why I was

anticipating a surprise ending. The acting is superb. Owen is equally creepy and genius. Washington, whom usually seen as a dramatic, stone-cold leading hero, actually plays a somewhat clumsy, goofy, undependable detective whos out to prove he can still compete with the best. This case is pivotal for him. And Jodie Foster, whose character, Madeline White, was hired by the bank manager to keep his information from leaking, takes on her usual powerful role. Shes found her niche. This movie has all the makings to be great. Dont get me wrong its

very good. The plot is creative, yet not overly complicated. The characters are believable. The cinematography keeps you guessing. And there are funny parts. It doesnt take itself too seriously. I just wish the ending had tied loose ends together in a more unexpected way. South Wind 12 Rated R, 129 minutes

Competitive eating makes pigging out both professional and profitable.

Pat Bertoletti plans to get a normal job. Probably something in a kitchen. He is, after all, a culinary arts major. The problem is that, after youve grown accustomed to making thousands of dollars in a matter of minutes, typical college-student wages arent all that satisfying. Bertoletti, a junior at Kendall College in Chicago, is a competitive eater. Ranked 10th internationally, he has downed 11.5 pounds of corned beef sandwiches in 10 minutes and 19 dozen oysters in the same amount of time. In 15-minute spans, he has polished off 5.25 pounds of pizza and 12.78 pounds of watermelon. For Valentines Day this year, he celebrated by consuming almost 2 pounds of chocolate hearts in eight minutes (and won $5,000 for it). Consider that the stomach of an average adult comfortably holds only 3 pounds of food, and that a typical meal consists of only a pound to a pound and a half significantly less than what Bertoletti can swallow in the time span of a coffee break. Although it will probably never be dubbed Americas favorite pastime, competitive eating is growing in popularity. Like any other sport, it requires skill, training and perseverance. But it also has its risks. From cave man to cash cow Competitive eating has likely been around for the entirety of human existence,says Arnie Chapman,chairman of the Association of Independent Competitive Eaters ever since the days of cave people, when men would kill more than they could eat and, Chapman speculates, challenge each other to eating matches to keep the leftovers from spoiling. In the modern world, its roots are in eating contests at fairs. The most

famous is Nathans Famous 4th of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest, which began 90 years ago and is still held annually at Coney Island in New York. The sport has come a long way since then, generating phenomenal eaters like Bertoletti and receiving media attention including coverage on ESPN. A first-place, record-breaking finish at the GoldenPalace.net Corned Beef and Cabbage Eating Championship last month brought Bertolettis career earnings to nearly $15,000 not too shabby for someone who discovered his eating ability only about a year ago.

Got water? While some competitive eaters train for contests by ingesting large quantities of food beforehand, Bertoletti prefers filling up with water. This stretches his stomach without contributing calories to his diet. Several times within a week of a contest, he chugs a couple gallons of water each one in about 30 seconds. Occasionally, before big competitions, he does practice runs with food. Preparing with food paid off in the Golden Palace.net Grilled Cheese Finals in February, in which Bertoletti came in third with 24.5 sandwiches in 10 minutes. Just keep swallowing Achieving feats like this requires mental stamina as much as physical ability. In a way, competitive eating is like running a marathon, Bertoletti says. Eaters hit a wall just like runners do and have to find a way to push past it. Just keep swallowing, he says. When you hit the wall, the first thing you want to do is start over-chewing, and you have to make yourself swallow.

Super-sized portions, not supersized eaters Interestingly, the competitors who can eat the hugest portions are far from large themselves. Takeru Kobayashi, the worlds top eater, is 5 feet 7 inches tall and 132 pounds. Sonya Thomas, in second place, is 5 feet 5 inches tall and a mere 100 pounds. An idea called the belt of fat theory, though not medically confirmed, seeks to explain why the best eaters are usually slim. The theory speculates that fat restricts the stomach from expanding, and therefore the eaters with the least fat are the ones who can stretch their stomachs the most. Although Bertoletti says he isnt completely sold on the idea, any possibility that it might be true is enough to hold him to lunches of salad, fruit and cottage cheese. That, and an aversion to getting fat. You have more control over your body, he says, when youre fit. Medical marvels or risky role models? The belt of fat theory is just one aspect of competitive eating that hasnt been tested. Another alludes to something special about these eaters stomachs that enables them to consume so much food. David Metz, a gastroenterologist at the University of Pennsylvania and spokesman for the American Gastroenterological Association, would like to study competitive eaters ability to relax their stomachs in hopes of finding a treatment for a condition called dyspepsia. Dyspepsia is equivalent to indigestion, he says. A possible cause for some cases of the disorder is the stomachs inability to stretch and relax properly after eating. These competitive eaters can eat like horses, he says. Their receptive

relaxation is most likely much better than the average guys on the street, and probably better than someones with dyspepsia. In addition to drawing medical interest, the sport raises health concerns. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, says Bonnie Taub-Dix, a dietitian in Woodmere, N.Y. and a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association. Competitive eating is an extreme example of a national trend to eat too much too quickly. And she says it presents health risks for the competitors, as well. Competitors could choke or rupture their stomachs, she says. Its asking your body to do a lot when youre asking it to digest that amount of food, she says.Instead of putting pieces of meat into a grinder, youre putting in a side of beef all at once. Professional contests have medical personnel on site, she points out, but some competitions take place in bars or fraternities without such supervision. The future of (really) fast food Chapman, the chairman of the eating association, agrees that competitive eating should occur only when safety precautions are in place. But he also endorses the value of the sport and of its ability to create laughter, as well as competition. Competitive eatings future is not in a sterile, completely competitive approach, he says. Its future is in people who want to keep the lunacy and fun. What other professional sport offers that opportunity for such delicious silliness?

HEALTH

Sleepy winks, crusties, eye boogers call them what you want, but those little pieces of dried mucus in the corners of your eyes each morning have a purpose.
Sleep seeds, as Ken Frank, an ophthalmologist (or medical eye specialist), calls them, are like miniature trash bags of irritating material like dust or pollen. Theyre produced by the part of the eye called the plica semilunaris. The plica secretes sticky material that collects debris and moves it away from your cornea and other sensitive areas. Its a normal function of the eye, not a problem, says Frank, who runs Frank Eye Center in Ottawa. Sleep seeds are more prevalent in the spring and fall when many allergens are in the air, Frank says. And be careful with removal. Its best to gently tease them out, Frank says. Dont dig deep. Too much digging produces more irritation and more mucus.

PRODUCT REVIEW
Can fast food be pseudo-healthy? Sure it can. Wendys new line of Frescata sandwiches brings a touch of deli flair to the old drive-thru. I tried the Frescata Club, a creation of fresh artisan bread, thick-cut black forest ham, roasted turkey, crunchy bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. For a minute, I forgot I was eating fast-food. All of the ingredients were surprisingly fresh and the bacon was even cooked to perfection. Frescata sandwiches are available in roasted turkey with basil pesto and black forest ham & Swiss. Dave Thomas would be proud. Try Frescata sandwiches for $3.69 each at the two Wendys locations in Lawrence, 523 W. 23rd St. and 601 Kasold Drive.

Of all the things that increase in value Over time, yOur tOOthbrush isnt One Of them.
A toothbrush that gets used on a daily basis (hopefully more than once) should be replaced about every three months, says Patrick Jankowski, a dentist at Jayhawk Dental, 826 Iowa St. Furthermore, its a good idea to toss your toothbrush after youve been sick because the brush bristles will harbor bacteria, Jankowski says. Is there a lazy-mans solution to sending your brush to the bottom of the waste basket? You could try to put the brush head in an antiseptic like Listerine, Jankowski says. But I wouldnt recommend it.

CONFESSIONS OF A WORRYWART
A litany of chronic compulsions
by Liz Nartowicz
At the age of 8, I was convinced I had HIV. After learning about the virus from my third-grade teacher, Mrs. Curnes, I rushed home and insisted I be tested immediately. I couldnt understand why my mom found my request so absurd. After all, she admitted she was never tested herself, so how did I know she hadnt passed HIV on to me? Turns out I was STD-free. But that didnt stop my worrying. At 9, a lecture on the importance of sunscreen from my dad spun me into a nerve-racking wreck. Fearing skin cancer, I lathered myself head-to-toe with Coppertone 45 every day until Christmas. I only quit then because my dad refused to maintain my sunscreen supply. I am not a hypochondriac. Im just what my parents call a worrywart, a chronic worrier. Blame it on my earth sign, Capricorn, but Ive always been compulsively concerned. And my fears have run the gamut. I used to worry Santa Claus watched me undress. I fretted over wasting water because I didnt want the world to run dry. I cried if I didnt finish dinner because there were starving children in countries I couldnt yet pronounce. I feared I might become pregnant without having sex like the Virgin Mary. But my biggest childhood hangup was my morbid preoccupation

SPEAK

with what happens after death. I didnt believe in heaven,hell,reincarnation or any of the possibilities my Unitarian Fellowship posed. Instead, I was positive that souls remained trapped within the body after death. Because of this conviction, I concocted my own Snow White scheme to compensate. To ward off otherworldly woes, such as loneliness, I was to be placed in a glass casket, equipped with my favorite books and stuffed animals. My parents were to visit me every day. I even drew up a contract to ensure my last wishes were respected. By high school, Id grown out of these fears. Sadly, new anxieties replaced them. I became compulsively prepared. I walked around with a full-fledged pharmacy in my purse: tissues, tampons, Band-Aids, Prozac, Xanax, you name it. I hauled an entire wardrobe in my red Mazda MX6. Anyone peering into my windows would have thought I lived in my car. My compulsions followed me to college. As a freshman I started counting down the days until graduation with icy fear of joining the real world. I also broke out in hives for the first time because of an English paper. My face has erupted once a year since. By my junior year I was smoking a pack of Marlboro Lights a day to calm my nerves. And in my senior year, Ive worried myself to the emergency room twice. Excessive worrying has been hard on my stomach, to say the least. When my stress is in high gear, I cant even keep down a cup of Campbells. Stress has cost me a semesters worth of tuition (I had to drop out), handfuls of hair (it fell out) and an early mid-life crisis. While I was throwing up my chicken noodle soup one day I realized that if I wanted to survive I needed to change my attitude. To make it to class and throughout the day I started stripping my life of unnecessary worries. I stopped trying to make my outfits match perfectly. I stopped berating myself over Bs and Cs on papers. Soon, being five minutes late for a meeting no longer sent me into a perspiring panic. By chanting my mantra, Its not worth my health, I overcame countless quirks within months. Deep down, Im still a worrywart. I still catch myself worrying about global warming and growing up. I still lug an oversized greenand-white shoulder bag, brimming with pharmaceuticals.I still play outwhat ifsin my head. The only difference now is I dont allow my worrying to make me sick. Ive learned that I cant control life. I can only manage my own to the best of my ability. I am proud to say I am doing a good job at that. I gave up smoking, donated 15 pairs of jeans and even quit a job I adored to handle my stress. Im still not ready for the real world, but at least Ive quit the countdown.
