Austin Roberson had to make an
unusual decision as a high school
freshman: play football or dance.
He had been dancing since he
was 11, after his sisters studio need-
ed a Danny for a six-city tour of
Grease. And he liked playing foot-
ball too. But he didnt have time to
pursue both.
I had to pick, he said.
That choice led the sophomore
from Silver Lake to a lifelong pas-
sion for dancing, a road that will
travel through the Lawrence Arts
Center, 940 New Hampshire St., at
7 p.m. tonight.
Roberson has been a dancer for
almost 10 years, but tonight is his
debut as a choreographer. The Point
B dance studio, 3115 W. 6th St.,
is putting on an hour-long show
tonight, called B Moved, featuring
the work of seven choreographers,
many new like Roberson.
Most of the choreographers and
dancers dozens of them are
University students and alumni, but
there are also high school seniors,
other college students, and other
Lawrence residents involved. They
will be dancing to a wide range of
music, from hip hop and contem-
porary songs to more lyrical or jazz-
based music.
The show will have 13 pieces
that tie small stories into a larger
program, one that deals with differ-
ent stages in life. One piece is about
someone dying of cancer, another
called Let It Be about letting life
run its course.
Roberson is dancing in seven
pieces, and choreographing two of
them one is a simple duet of
dancers, but another, called Jar of
Hearts, features eight women danc-
ing alongside himself.
Roberson dances as a man who
goes around consuming love, cheat-
ing on people, unable to stop. The
women around him are his lovers,
who react with varying emotions
perhaps happiness for the end of
a poisionous relationship, or anger
and jealousy for losing a man.
He didnt assign emotions to us
because he wanted it to be natu-
ral, said Julia Morgan, a sophomore
from St. Louis dancing in Jar of
Hearts.
Morgan said it varied from prac-
tice to practice, but she thought she
would be representing an angry or
frustrated side tonight.
Courtney Bone, who graduated
from the University in May, is also
dancing in several pieces, including
Jar of Hearts. She said she liked the
natural approach Roberson picked.
If you can dance how you truly
feel, youll give a great performance,
she said.
Cathy Patterson, the owner of
Point B and organizer of B Moved,
said the program is similar to So
You Think You Can Dance with its
modern music and dance styles.
Roberson said he wanted to be
a dancer for awhile, able to quickly
give a for-instance of how his career
might go: Lawrence, to Kansas
City, to Chicago, to Broadway
Anything, he said. I dont want to
be here my whole life.
He would want to do a little
choreography while he dances, but
would turn to choreography espe-
cially later in his career.
Nobodys going to hire you as
a dancer when youre 50, he said.
Thats just the honest truth.
So hes learning about choreogra-
phy, not only for his future career,
but to help him in his dancing now.
He stayed casual with his danc-
ing partners, joking alongside them
when the music stopped. Dancers
who have worked with him said hes
open to their input. But when cor-
rection or instruction was needed,
he wasnt shy.
It doesnt seem like hes never
done this before, Bone said.
Patterson said she was trying to
foster the love of dance in peo-
ple like Roberson, as well as pro-
vide them opportunities to learn.
Everyone who talks about the stu-
dio emphasizes that it is inclusive
and encouraging and that its fun,
not a competition.
Sometimes we have a 45-year-
old dancing next to an 18-year-old,
Patterson said. We just want to
dance.
She said she started her studio
three years ago because too many
college students who loved danc-
ing as they grew up didnt have
anywhere to dance now. Her studio
teaches drop-in classes, meaning
you only pay for the classes you
attend, whenever you have time to
attend them. And you have to be 17
to attend a class, so only a handful
of high school seniors attend.
Its a studio designed for college-
aged students with hectic schedules
who just love to dance.
We have this vibe, she said.
When people get here, theyre
drawn to it.
The studio presents a compa-
ny every spring that many of the
class-takers participate in, includ-
ing Roberson, Morgan and Bone.
But B Moved is the studios first
fall event, and Patterson said she
wanted to incorporate more chore-
ographers learning the craft.
Morgan said the studio was an
amazing place because nobody was
judgmental of each other, or even
of a new choreographer working in
that role for his first time which
in turn made the dancing more
fun.
You can go there and be who-
ever you want to be, she said. As
long as Im in Lawrence, Ill be com-
ing back.

Campaign advocates for more milk
BY JUSTINE PATTON
jpatton@kansan.com
The milk mustache may seem
like a fashion statement that was
only cute in our preschool days, but
todays Milk Mustache Campaign
is aimed at convincing students
that the milk mustache deserves
a second
look.
Research has found that college
students do not get enough cal-
cium, and experts are concerned
about a possible osteoporosis
epidemic in the coming years,
said Ann Chapman, a dietitian at
the Wellness Resource Center in
Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The Milk Mustache Campaign,
which is sponsored by
H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E
Healthy Options for
Movement, Exercise,
Body Acceptance
and Savvy Eating
gives students
a chance to
sample reg-
ular skim
and choco-
late milk, as
well as soy
white and
chocol at e
milk.
Students
can get their
p i c t u r e s
taken sport-
ing milk
must aches.
These funny
photos will
help pro-
mote cal-
cium as a
primary source of nutrition.
Once people reach their thir-
ties, bone loss begins and con-
tinues until the end of the life
cycle, Chapman said. That means
most students have a very small
window of time left during col-
lege to make their bones stronger.
And odds are, they arent tak-
ing advantage of the little time
they have left. According to the
Journal of Nutrition Education
and Behavior, published in 2009,
39 percent of men and 43 percent
of women ages 20 to 29 consume
less than one daily serving of dairy
products.
Brian Andalikiewicz, a junior
from Shawnee, admitted that he
doesnt get enough calcium in his
diet.
I used to when I lived at home
with my parents, because they
bought milk and stuff like that,
Andalikiewicz said. But now that
I live by myself I really dont.
Chapman said while dairy
products are the best source of
calcium, students dont have to
drink milk to get the recom-
mended amount, which is 1,000
milligrams per day. Calcium can
also be found in some combina-
tion foods, such as macaroni and
cheese, tacos, cheeseburgers, and
cheese pizza. There is also some
calcium in leafy greens, canned
salmon with bones, almonds, and
canned beans.
Students who arent getting
enough calcium dont have to
make huge lifestyle changes to
make their bones stronger, either.
Chapman said if a student visits a
restaurant, the foods on the menu
that contain cheese or milk would
increase their calcium intake for
the day. If they make food at
home, students could add milk to
some recipes in place of water or
use cheese as a topping for their
food.
Calcium supplements are also
an option for students who dont
get enough calcium in their diets.
However, Chapman warned that
they are not absorbed as well
as calcium in food form. She
said studies show only about 35
percent absorption with supple-
ments.
The Milk Mustache Campaign
is happening today at the Ambler
Student Recreation Fitness Center
from 3 to 5 p.m. Students can pick
up handouts on the importance
of calcium in their diet, including
recipes that use milk.

Provost Jeff Vitter announced
a 15-member
search commit-
tee Monday to
find a new dean
for the School of
Business.
J a m e s
Guthrie, pro-
fessor of busi-
ness, and M.D.
Michaelis, president and chairman
of the board of Emprise Bank, will
be committee co-chairs.
Faculty, students and busi-
ness professionals outside the
University are represented on
the committee. The search is in
response to William Fuersts Sept.
22 announcement that he will
step down in June after 11 years as
business dean, the second-longest
tenure of any KU business dean.
Vitter asked Fuerst to assist in a
new venture related to corporate
relations. A spokesperson for the
School of Business said in a Sept.
22 Kansan article that Fuersts
resignation was not related to
demands over the summer that
Fuerst be fired.
Four MBA students Andrew
Carlson, David Cantrell, Boone
Bradley and Tim Metz called
for Fuerst to be removed over
concerns about the schools
finances. The students wrote to
the Kansas Board of Regents in
July alleging that scholarships
were underfunded and that the
school did not follow its guide-
lines on using course fees to hire
faculty and staff.
Other members on the search
committee include: Christopher
Anderson, associate professor of
business; Danny Anderson, dean
of the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences; Audra Boone, associ-
ate professor of business; Marnie
Clawson, president of Clawson
Benefits Concepts; Fred Coulson,
managing director of Five Elms
Capital; DaNeale Diggins, junior
in accounting; Michael Ettredge,
professor of business, Mary Lee
Hummert, vice provost for facul-
ty development; Jennifer Jordan,
director of Business Career
Services; Kissan Joseph, associ-
ate professor of business; Laura
Poppo, professor of business;
Joshua Rosenbloom, associate
vice chancellor of research and
graduate studies and professor
of economics and Susan Scholz,
associate professor of business.

SAN FRANCISCO A fed-
eral appeals court on Monday
indefinitely extended its freeze
on a judges order halting enforce-
ment of the militarys dont ask,
dont tell policy.
A divided three-judge panel
of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals granted the U.S. govern-
ments request for a stay while it
challenges the trial courts ruling
that the ban on openly gay service
members is unconstitutional.
The same panel, composed
of two judges appointed by
President Ronald Reagan and
one appointed by President Bill
Clinton, on Oct. 20 imposed a
temporary hold keeping dont
ask, dont tell in place.
Mondays decision means gay
Americans who disclose their
sexual orientations still cant
enlist in the armed forces and
can be investigated and ultimate-
ly discharged.
In an eight-page order, two
judges said they were persuaded
by the Department of Justices
argument that U.S. District Court
Judge Virginia Phillips world-
wide injunction against the pol-
icy will seriously disrupt ongo-
ing and determined efforts by
the administration to devise an
orderly change.
The pub-
lic interest

nitude in the

strongly
militates in
favor of a
stay, Judges
Diarmuid F.
OScannlain and Stephen S. Trott
wrote in their majority order. We
believe that prudence mandates
restraint until the final judgment
is entered.
Another reason they gave for
imposing the freeze was decisions
by four other federal appeals
courts that cast doubt on wheth-
er Phillips exceeded her author-
ity and ignored existing legal
precedents when she concluded
gays could not serve in the mili-
tary without having their First
Amendment rights breached.
Judge William Fletcher entered
a partial dissent, saying he would

Mondays ruling heightens
pressure on the Obama admin-
istration to persuade the U.S.
Senate to repeal the law before
a new Congress is sworn in.
President Barack Obama repeat-
edly has said he opposes dont

it legislatively instead of through
the courts.
Todays decision is a major
disappointment, and it under-
scores the urgent need for the
Senate to act this month in the
lame duck session to end this
confusion and cause the final-
ity that is needed, said Aubrey

service members that it is unsafe
to come out as long as this law
remains on the books.
The court ordered the gov-
ernment to submit brief in its
broader appeal by Jan. 24 and
gave Log Cabin Republicans, a

Caitrin Doherty-Powell will do
what most college students do on
Election Day: Shell go about her
daily routine without stepping foot
inside a ballot box.
Doherty-Powell, a freshman
from Eagan, said she decided not
to vote because she felt unable
to make an informed decision.
I havent really been paying
attention to it, she said about the
election. If youre not informed, I
dont really think you should vote.
Dohertys political apathy is
reflective of a much larger trend in
this years election. Although young
voters historically pay less attention
to midterm elections than voters 30
and older, the gap between younger
and older voters this year is double
what it was in 2006. Political pun-
dits and pollsters have dubbed it
the enthusiasm gap.
Fifty-three percent of voters 30
and older said they were giving a
lot of thought to the election, com-
pared with just 31 percent of voters
young-
er than 30,
according to a recent Pew Research
survey.
When it comes to voter turn-
out, 45 percent of younger voters
said they definitely would vote in
this years elections, compared with
76 percent of older voters a
31-point gap. In 2006, the gap was
23 points.
Many researchers attribute low
voter turnout among college stu-
dents to
lifestyle differ-
ences. The transient life-
style of most students makes it dif-
ficult for them to settle down into
a community, said Mark Joslyn, a
political science professor and an
expert on voting behavior. Students
are typically less politically active
than their parents and grandpar-
ents as a result.
Another factor contributing to
the widening enthusiasm gap is
the media environment surround-
ing college students, Joslyn said.
Although the Internet provides an
endless stream of political news, it
also provides an infinite number of
ways to ignore it.
You guys are growing up in an
entirely different media environ-
ment than I did, he said. That
should have some consequences.
Were just not sure as you get older
if youll grow more interested in
politics, or youll just completely
ignore it.
Joslyn predicted the former out-
come. As individuals grow older, he
said, they become more involved
in their communities and find it
increasingly difficult to ignore
political issues, such as taxes and
health care.
But the constant bombardment
of TV ads, rows of yard signs and
the 24-hour news cycle made it dif-
ficult for college students to entirely
ignore the election, said Alex Earles,
a senior from Salina and Student
Legislative Awareness Board presi-
dent. He said he remained positive
about voter turnout among college
students.
Josyln said that a lack of infor-
mation shouldnt keep students
such as Doherty-Powell from vot-
ing booths.
Most people have an idea of
what party they like to vote, Josyln
said. You should feel free to go in
and vote even if you dont know all
the things. None of us know all the
things.

BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scollins@kansan.com
Growing up in Lawrence, Kim
Ferguson, a senior, always used
the Lawrence Public Library to
research projects and to study for
exams. Now a college student, she
said she still uses the public library
rather than the University libraries
to check out books because of its
friendly atmosphere.
Today, Lawrence residents will
have the chance to approve an $18
million bond that would be used to
completely renovate the Lawrence
Public Library, 707 Vermont St.
Kathleen Morgan, development
director for the Lawrence Public
Library, said about $17 million will
come from an increase in prop-
erty tax and the last $1 million will
be from private funding through
the Lawrence Public Library
Foundation.
If approved, the bond will allow
the library to be expanded by about
20,000 square feet, the amount of
parking spaces to almost double
and triple the amount of public-
access computers, plus many more
updates.
I think it says a lot when the
community is willing to invest
in something as important at the
library, especially in the aspects of
art and education, Morgan said.
Morgan said a renovated library
will help the downtown area of
Lawrence. She said if the library
were to be renovated then it would
improve the atmosphere of the
area, especially for students.
The more vibrant Lawrence is,
the more enjoyable it is going
to be, Morgan
said.
Agreeing with Ferguson, Morgan
said students use the public library
for a unique study area rather than
the average academic library stu-
dents often visit. She said a public
library offers a different environ-
ment for students.
Its just an alternative, its not
better or worse, Morgan said.
Sometimes I think people are just
looking for something different.
Morgan said Lawrence has an
obligation to take care of its build-
ings. She said the library is almost
40 years old.
No one has left their home
not being improved for 40 years,
she said. So we should treat the
library just the same.
Alice Ann Johnston,
chairwoman of
the Vote
YES for the Library steering com-
mittee, said when the library was
built in 1972, it was serving only
38,000 people and now it serves
almost 90,000.
The library is over-crowded,
over-stressed, Johnston said. It
has served us well, but it needs
expansion.
However, not all Lawrence resi-
dents agree with the expansion
proposal. Dan Schriner, a Lawrence
resident, said there was no reason
to change the building. He
said he believes
that $18
mil-
lion is too much for such a small
change.
My property taxes are high
enough, he said.
He said he also believes that
there has not been enough input
from the public for the amount
money the expansion pro-
posal is asking for.
They try to
make it
sound like its pennies a day but its
not, Schriner said.
Edited by Michael Bednar
Voters to decide fate of Lawrence library expansion
If approved, multimillion dollar bond would fund larger parking lot, more space in library and more publicly accessible computers.
The Breakdown for the Library Expansion:
Cost: $18 million
The money will come from an increase in property tax and private funding.
Changes and Additions to the Library, if approved:
n expand the library by 20,000 square feet
n Increase parking from 126 to 250 by building a parking garage
n Add 100 public-access computers
n Provide more public meeting spaces
n Add a drive-up book drop and service window
n Create a plaza area for outdoor public events
n Technology update
n Make the library more energy efcient
If approved, the ground-breaking for the project would occur in fall 2011.

SALT LAKE CITY Nearly ev-
ery Utah juror questioned on the
frst day of the Elizabeth Smart kid-
napping trial said they knew about
the case and believed the man
charged was likely responsible.
Jury selection began Monday
in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake
City for the trial of Brian David
Mitchell on charges of kidnapping
and unlawful transportation of a
minor. If convicted, the 57-year-old
Mitchell could spend the rest of his
life in jail.
Te trial begins more than eight
years afer Smart was taken from
her home at age 14. It is expected to
last at least fve weeks.
Te court is trying to winnow a
pool of 220 potential jurors to 30
before impaneling a jury of 12, plus
alternates.
Of the 17 potential jurors ques-
tioned Monday, all said they had
seen media coverage of the case
and could recite its various details
from Smarts 2002 knifepoint
abduction, to alleged sexual abuses
she sufered during nine months of
captivity, to her recovery afer be-
ing found with Mitchell in 2003.
Asked by defense attorneys what
they believed was true about
the case, jurors described Smart
as being taken or stolen from
her parents. One woman said she
thought Mitchell believed he was
doing Gods will when he took
Smart and made her his polyga-
mous wife.
Defense attorneys argued the an-
swers were proof jurors had prede-
termined Mitchells guilt and asked
that each of the 17 be dismissed.
By days end, Judge Dale Kimball
had retained nine potential jurors
fve men and four women and
dismissed eight. Te selection pro-
cess will resume Tuesday.
Mitchell watched the proceed-
ings on video from a holding cell
in the Salt Lake City federal court-
house afer Kimball ordered him
removed from the court for sing-
ing hymns.
Kimball decided earlier this
year that Mitchell was competent
to face trial. Mitchell had been di-
agnosed with a delusional disorder
and was twice deemed incompe-
tent for trial in state court.
Defense attorneys maintain
Mitchell is unable to participate in
his defense.

Te Defenders popular
despite critics bad reviews
Mcclatchy-tribune
CHICAGO Leave it to
hometown boy Jim Belushi to
find a way to work the Chicago
Bears fight song into a legal
dramedy set in Las Vegas.
In a recent episode of The
Defenders, local viewers got a
chance to see Belushis Chicago-
raised character, Nick Morelli,
belt out Bear Down, Chicago
Bears.
The storyline revolved around
the planned theft of a Super Bowl
ring that belonged to Bears Hall
of Famer Mike Singletary. In
another episode, after punching a
villainous character from Detroit,
Morelli derides the downed man
for the Red Wings stealing
Chelios from the Blackhawks.
The Second City alum and
kid brother to John Joliet Jake
Belushi wasnt coy about inject-
ing his love of all things Chicago
into the story.
You know, I have an influ-
ence, Belushi joked during a
recent break from filming of
the show he called a courtroom
drama on steroids.
Chicago, Belushi said, is where
Im connected, and its where my
sense of humor is rooted. When
you draw back on experiences
and things, you go back to what
youre connected to.
The Wheaton, Ill., natives
extended return to network tele-
vision after his eight-year run
playing lovable lout Jim Orenthal
on ABCs According to Jim was
uncertain until CBS executives
ordered additional episodes of the
popular yet critically maligned
series. The Defenders is aver-
aging about 11 million viewers
each week in its 9 p.m. time slot,
besting NBCs Law and Order:
Los Angeles, according to the
latest Nielsen ratings.
While the show has received
some bad press, criticizing it
as contrived or uninteresting,
Belushi is upfront that hed much
rather be popular than critically
acclaimed.
In TV,
when you get
great reviews,
its a ... death
knell, Belushi
said, quickly
pointing to
Foxs critical
darling Lone
Star, canceled
after only two
airings.
To have 11 million people
watch your show when theres 85
critics writing about you. Its like,
Guys, sorry. I love you, I love
how hard you work, but it doesnt
matter, he said. Im not looking
for you guys approval.
Belushis Morelli co-heads a
flashy, if slightly bottom-feeding,
Vegas law firm with brash, young
partner Pete Kaczmarek, played
by Jerry OConnell.
Belushis character is a shark
with a velvet touch; a wry-smil-
ing, smooth operating defense
attorney who wears his blue-
collar background and simple
values as well as he wears his fine
Italian suits.
Attorney Michael Cristalli,
half of the real-life Las Vegas
defense team the show is based
on, and the model for Belushis
character, said he was excited
with Belushis portrayal. He and
law partner Marc Saggese are fre-
quently on the show set, giving
advice to producers and actors.
Hes done such an incredible job
and Im thrilled, Cristalli said of
Belushi. He
is the leading
force behind
the success of
the show.
The guy
Im playing
has got great
bedside man-
ners and is
very charm-
ing, Belushi
said. From his point of view,
your whole job is to win the jury.
So everything is a performance.
Belushi said the transition
from a family sitcom to a drama
wasnt difficult.
Ive always considered myself
an actor, and as an actor, I look at
it as a plumber, he said. I can go
in a small house and fix the sink,
or I can go in a massive commer-
cial site and lay all kinds of pipes.
To me, its just a different venue,
thats all.

Viewers faint during new
flms amputation scene
Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES Two at the
Telluride Film Festival, three at the
Toronto International Film Festival
and one at the Mill Valley Film
Festival.
If that were a list of trophies
for the new movie 127 Hours,
which opens Friday, the filmmak-
ers would be overjoyed. In fact, its
a partial tally of people who have
collapsed during early screenings
of the movie about a real-life hiker
who amputated his forearm after a
falling boulder pinned his hand in
a remote canyon.
I started to feel like I was going
to throw up, said Courtney Phelps,
who was watching 127 Hours at a
recent Producers Guild of America
screening in Hollywood and grew
ill just as the amputation scene
ended. So I went to the bathroom,
and then I started feeling dizzy and
my heart started racing.
Phelps fainted on the restroom
floor, and was treated by para-
medics who had been called when
another moviegoer suffered an
apparent seizure. I have never had,
even remotely, an experience like
this, she said. Im a television pro-
ducer. I know this stuff is not real.
Evidently, that doesnt matter.
Filmmakers always hope their
work will affect audiences in pow-
erful ways. But the strong physical
and emotional responses gener-
ated by 127 Hours have not only
surprised director Danny Boyle
and his creative team theyve
also presented a delicate market-
ing challenge for Fox Searchlight,
which co-financed and is distribut-
ing the $20 million movie.
I would prefer that people not
pass out its not a plus, said
Stephen Gilula, the studios co-
president. We dont see a particu-
lar publicity value in it.
Still, Gilula said the swoons _
besides the incidents in Telluride,
Toronto and Mill Valley, there have
been at least eight more at other
preview screenings prove the
films artistic power. Its the most
empathetic experience Ive ever
seen, he said. The movie opens
Friday in limited release, with more
cities set to be added in the coming
weeks.
127 Hours stars James Franco
as Ralston, who in 2003 was
trapped by a falling chockstone in
an isolated gully in Utahs wilder-
ness. Having told no one where he
was headed and hiking with scant
supplies, Ralston knew that if he
didnt free himself he would per-
ish from starvation, dehydration or
exposure. Five days into his ordeal,
Ralston figured out that if he broke
the two bones in his right forearm,
he would be able to use a dull
multi-tool to saw through the flesh,
muscles and tendons that bound
him to a certain death.

I like the idea of smaller government and a vibrant community,

The big government model that the U.S. functioned under for
most of the 20th Century must give way to one based off of some-
thing other than an industrial manufacturing economy in which
large corporations have the major stake in the economy.
The system is too complicated to be lorded over by a large regu-
lation-wielding federal government composed of old lawyers these
days.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
M
ore than 10 billion
condoms were used
worldwide in 2005,
according to the United Nations
Population Fund.
Tey are the most popular, most
convenient and oldest contra-
ceptives. Although (hopefully)
almost everyone who is sexually
active knows what a condom is
and has used one, there are some
things you might not know about
this handy pleasure companion
that fts into every pocket or purse.
Its time to get some facts in:
1. How safe are condoms?
If used correctly, condoms make
sex safe 98 percent of the time.
Typically, however, people make
small mistakes or are negligent in
storing and handling them, which
reduces the guarantee. Tats why
its so important to know how to
use condoms properly (see 5.).
2. Where do they come from?
Te frst condoms are believed
to have been used by Egyptians
around 1000 BC. Tey were made
out of linen sheets and were com-
mon until the 17th Century, when
animal intestines were found to
be more comfortable and safer.
Goodyear introduced the rubber
condom in the 19th Century, but
Frederick Killian invented the now
common latex condom in 1919.
3. Does one size ft all?
In general, yes. Although the
common sizes are standard and
XXL, every condom can stretch
enough to be used if nothing else
is available. But the right size con-
dom is important for the comfort
factor. Every brand has a diferent
size and shape, and fnding the
right one is important for pleasure,
so only trying out diferent types
will get you to the perfect ft.
4. Whats up with all the diferent
kinds and favors?
If you visit a store to get con-
doms, you might have a hard time
fnding just that. Tere are too
many choices next to the plain
transparent ones: lubricated, fa-
vored, ribbed, thin, extra thin, etc.
Tey do not change the purpose of
the condom, but they can make sex
even a little more interesting.
Just a quick overview: If the
vagina gets dry sometimes or you
dont want a long foreplay, try the
lubricated. If you use them for oral
sex, try the favored. If she wants
more pleasure, try the ribbed (but
you may need additional lubri-
cant). If you have a bad sense of
direction in the dark, try those
that glow in the dark. Its up to you
what makes a diference.
Because four percent of people
are allergic to latex, there are
other condoms that can be used,
for example those made out of
polyurethane or lambskin. For the
food-conscious, there are vegan
condoms (latex condoms contain
lactic protein).
5. What can you do wrong when
using condoms?
A lot. Make sure you have read
the instructions on the package
before you use them.
Also remember: Dont use afer
the expiration date. Dont carry
condoms in your pockets or wallets
too long. Te friction of the mate-
rial and a warm body can break the
condom faster. Dont tear it when
opening the package (be careful
with nails and teeth!). Dont use it
for a second run later. Dont leave
it inside afer the ejaculation. Dont
get too close to the vagina without
the condom on. Dont use two con-
doms at once, even if one is a fe-
male condom. Tey will tear easier
instead of making it safer. Dont
use oil-based lubricant. Dont use
unapproved condoms (in the U.S.:
FDA approval; in Europe: look for
the CE mark; in other countries:
look for an ISO approval).
Te main reason condoms fail
to protect is incorrect or negligent
use, so that extra care could save
you a lot of trouble!
And if youre too shy or too
likely to meet people when buying
condoms, try ordering them online
at condomania.com or another site
and have them delivered to your
door.

Last Saturday, Jon Stewart and
Stephen Colbert held the frst-
ever Rally to Restore Sanity/
or Fear on Washington D.C.s
National Mall. Billed as a rally
for those who have been too busy
to go to rallies, the demon-
stration attracted hundreds of
thousands of Americans from
all over the country. Many more
viewers tuned in online and on
television.
Although unable to attend
in person, this columnist went
online to watch the rally. Jon
Stewart pointed out early on that,
It does not matter what we say
or do today. It matters what is
reported about what we said and
did today. Hopefully I can do it
justice.
On the eve of a polarizing
Election Day, it was inspiring
to watch the dueling comedic
pundits promote reasonableness
in the news and the country as
a whole. Jon Stewart stayed true
to what he posited as his motto
leading up to the event, Take it
down a notch, America, while
Colbert, appearing in character,
provided a humorous counter-
weight to Stewarts message.
Colbert awarded honorary
Medals of Fear to news stations
who refused to cover the event
for fear of appearing politically
biased, including ABC, CBS and
especially NPR. Te joke was in
fact on these stations, as the rally
turned out to be more musical
than it was political. Te Medal
of Fear was accepted, on behalf of
the news stations by a 7-year-old
girl, who Colbert made a point
of saying is far more coura-
geous than NPR. Medals of Fear
were also awarded to Anderson
Coopers tight black t-shirt and
Mark Zuckerberg. Public fgures
and media outlets were depicted
as the source of unnecessary
angst in America, which needs to
be countered by citizens.
During his keynote address,
Jon Stewart reminded the crowd
that all Tea Partiers are not
racists, all Muslims are not ter-
rorists and that, if everything is
amplifed, nothing can be heard.
America has not had a tradition-
ally radical political atmosphere,
and in todays polarizing world
it is important to remember that
we are all still working towards
the same goals, and that these
goals cannot be achieved without
compromise.
Te pair also reminded their
audience to retain sanity in their
own daily lives. Jon Stewart
awarded Medals of Reasonable-
ness to people such as Armando
Galarraga, who was robbed
of a perfect game last baseball
season by a bad call but did
not get angry, instead shaking
the umpires hand and explain-
ing that nobody is perfect.
Tese awards demonstrated that
regular Americans can promote
sanity in simple ways on a day to
day basis.
We can all beneft by remem-
bering Jon Stewarts reasonable
words, we live now in hard
times, not end times, and retain-
ing perspective on our lives and
surroundings. Perhaps then we
will be a little bit closer to sanity,
for, afer all, there is no substitute
for sanity.

Students start clothing label after fnding inspiration
BY CARLO RAMIREZ
cramirez@kansan.com
Paul Redlingshafer and Alex
Beal found designing inspiration
while watching the HBO series
How To Make It In America.
Unlike many people, who might
be discouraged by the competi-
tive New York City fashion busi-
ness, Redlingshafer, Beal and their
friend Jordan Allison, a senior
from Overland Park, became
inspired.
After some thought we came to
the conclusion that we had what it
took, said Redlingshafer, a senior
from Overland Park. An eye for
design, knowledge on popular
trends, access to free mass media
publicity, loyal friends and family
and an undying determination to
create a clothing line that the pub-
lic would take a liking to.
So in March, the E THE
REAL clothing brand was born.
The brand sells several designer
T-shirts, including one with a KU
theme.
The T-Shirts are sold at home
football games and online, and
plans to release crew-neck sweat-
shirts soon.
E THE REAL evolved from the
word ethereal, said Beal, a senior
from Leawood. I thought it was
very appropriate for the brand.
Beal said the brands main focu-
sis to make a
product cus-
tomers feel
c o n f i d e n t
wearing.
We have
a great stu-
dent popula-
tion here in
Lawrence and
we are going
to try our best
to meet the needs of every one
with the variety of our designs,
he said.
Beal said that business is going
well for the company so far, but
that there have been a few chal-
lenges.
In the end,
we are still col-
lege kids, Beal
said. Coming
up with the
funds to start a
legitimate com-
pany was
definitely
a chal-
lenge.
Robert Devine, a sopho-
more from Chicago, said he
noticed the E THE REAL
shirts at campus tailgates
and was impressed.
The shirts are pretty creative.
Devine said. For just starting
out, I think they are on the right
track.

BP now faces a mess of injury claims in wake of Gulf Shore oil spill
AssOCIAtEd PREss
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss.
Denied claims for Gulf of Mexico
oil spill victims are rising dramati-
cally because of a flood of new
filings coming in without proper
documentation or with no proof
at all, the head of the $20 billion
BP fund said Monday.
Some 20,000 people have been
told they have no right to emer-
gency compensation, compared to
about 125 denials at the end of
September. This is in addition to
many others who say they are get-
ting mere fractions of what theyve
lost, while others are receiving
large checks and full payments.
In an interview with The
Associated Press, claims admin-
istrator Kenneth Feinberg denied
allegations the process is beset by
chaos. He said the claims facil-
ity has sent about 30 potentially
fraudulent claims to the Justice
Department for investigation, and
hundreds more are under review.
I disagree about disarray,
Feinberg said. There are discrep-
ancies in claims based on doc-
umentation and your ability to
demonstrate a connection to the
spill and your damage.
He said that since Oct. 1, the
fund has received thousands of
new claims for emergency six-
month payments, bringing the
total to about 315,000, in an
apparent rush to meet a Nov. 23
deadline. After that, residents can
only file a claim
for a final pay-
ment, which
would be
granted only if
they sign away
their right to
sue BP.
Thous ands
are suffering
from a summer
of lost revenue
after BP PLCs April 20 well blow-
out off the Louisiana coast spewed
more than 170 million gallons of
oil into the sea. Fishermen who
werent working for BPs cleanup
sat idle at the docks with no sea-
food to sell, while beachside res-
taurants found
themselves with
few patrons,
and hotels
were nearly
empty during
a time when
many depend
on high-sea-
son revenue
to carry them
through the
slow winter months.
The well was permanently
capped on Sept. 19.
A true emergency claim one
would have expected would have
come in shortly after Aug. 23,
Feinberg said, referring to the
date he took over the process
from BP. But two-thirds of the
claims have come in since Oct. 1,
and (many of) those claims are
undocumented.
He speculated that some who
dont deserve a payment sense a
gold rush and are inundating the
facility with illegitimate requests.
The Justice Department last
week announced the first crimi-
nal charges filed in an oil-spill
related case against a Fayetteville,
N.C., woman who pretended to be
employed by a New Orleans oyster
company, according to a federal
complaint. Charlotte Johnson is
charged with wire fraud and faces
up to 20 years in prison after
authorities say she sought $15,500
in fictional lost wages.
A telephone message left for
her federal public defender wasnt
immediately returned. A man who
answered the phone at Johnsons
home said she is in federal cus-
tody on the charges. He declined
further comment.
About 92,000 claimants have
been paid or approved for pay-
ment as of Oct. 30, amounting to
roughly $1.7 billion. The claims
facility declined to reveal the total
amount requested by the nearly
315,000 people who have now
filed.
For Gulf coast residents with
apparently legitimate claims, the
process can be maddening.
Why cant they just explain
why they denied me? said Sheryl
Lindsay, an Orange Beach, Ala.
wedding planner whose business
has plummeted. Why are they so
secretive?
Lindsay sought about $240,000
for lost revenue because of
beach wedding cancellations and
received a check for just $7,700.
She was told, like so many oth-
ers, she could request additional
money in her claim for a final
payment, a check that likely wont
arrive for months.
I have three weddings booked
for next year. Thats it. Normally,
by this time, I would have 50 on
the books, Lindsay said. Im at
my breaking point. I dont know
what else to do except file bank-
ruptcy.
President Barack Obama tapped
Feinberg to oversee the BP claims
fund, which the oil giant created
under government pressure to
ensure that it paid those hurt by
the spill. Feinberg is paid by BP,
but says he is operating the fund
independently. He has declined to
say how much he is getting for his
services.
After some thought we
came to the conclusin that
we had what it took.

FBI agent reveals bomb plot details
AssOCIAtEd PREss
NEW YORK A detonator
was found hidden in the bedroom
cabinet of a purported accomplice
in the 1998 terrorist bombings
of two U.S. embassies in Africa,
a former FBI agent testified
Monday at the mans trial.
The witness, Gerald Bamel,
told jurors in federal court in
Manhattan that he made the dis-
covery while still with the FBI
and assigned to the investigation
in Dar es Salaam. As he disman-
tled the cabinet inside a suspected
hideout used by Ahmed Ghailani
and others, he was startled to find
himself holding a silver blasting
cap.
I dropped it, Bamel said. I
saw that it was a blasting cap,
and I was afraid that it would
detonate in my hand and blow my
hand off.
He said he summoned a bomb
technician to safely remove the
device.
Prosecutors allege Ghailani
the first Guantanamo detainee to
face trial in a civilian court
was part of an al-Qaida cell that
plotted the nearly simultaneous
attacks in Tanzania and Nairobi,
Kenya. The Aug. 7, 1998, bomb-
ings killed 224 people, including
12 Americans.
Ghailani, 36, of Tanzania has
been accused of helping buy a
truck used in the Tanzania blast
and purchasing components for
explosives. The defense says he
was in the dark about the terror
plot.
The day before the attack,
prosecutors say, Ghailani and
other plotters fled to Pakistan.
Authorities say that while he
was on the run, he spent time
in Afghanistan as a cook and
bodyguard for Osama bin Laden
and later as a document forger for
al-Qaida in Pakistan.
He was captured in 2004 and
held by the CIA at a secret over-
seas camp before being trans-
ferred to Guantanamo in 2006.
Four other men were convicted
in the embassy plot in the same
Manhattan courthouse and sen-
tenced to life in prison.
Jurors were given Election Day
off. Prosecutors say they expect to
wrap up their case when the trial
resumes on Wednesday.

I
ts basketball season.
Those three words are
used like a security blanket
around this campus. If something
bad happens, such as this years
football season, students attempt to
seek comfort in those three words.
And in a way, Allen Fieldhouse can
become like another world where
you can escape and forget about
whats happening in your own per-
sonal life.
Does that sound crazy? Probably
a little, but for some people thats
the reality of it. After all, you do
have to be a little crazy to sit on a
hard floor inside Allen Fieldhouse
for days waiting for your escape
into the world of Jayhawk basket-
ball.
Tonight the Jayhawks take
on the Ichabods of Washburn
University in their first exhibition
game, and finally students who are
looking for some joy in their lives
will be able to find relief in Allen
Fieldhouse.
If youre a freshman or only a
casual sports fan and have never
been to a game in Allen Fieldhouse
before, I strongly encourage you to
go and give it a try. Theres a rea-
son why basketball at Kansas is so
famous. The team is good, the fans
are great and the atmosphere is one
of a kind.
Exhibition games will be the
perfect chance to try out Kansas
basketball if youre a newbie, too.
There were around 10 camping
groups already in line at 6 a.m.
Monday. For Big 12 conference
games, there can be anywhere
between 40 to 100 groups at
the first chance to begin
camping. That makes it
very difficult for anyone
who isnt in a camp-
ing group to get a good
seat. Exhibition games arent
only good for the players to get
warmed up for the season, but for
new fans, too.
Camping is an efficient way for
students to line up for the game,
but it sounds complicated when
trying to explain how it works.
I could try and explain it but
that would take too long and
you may still not under-
stand. So tonight, get there
early and see for yourself
how camping works. In fact, I
would recommend just walking
down to Allen Fieldhouse any-
time today and talking to
some of the campers
in line. You may be
lost trying to jump in
the camping process in
the middle of the season.
One thing is for sure: if you
make it there tonight youll know
what I mean when I say that
attending basketball games at
Kansas can be like an escape from
reality.

The first question on Kansas
fans minds right now: Will Josh
Selby be declared eligible for the
season? The second: If not, who
will take his place?
The Jayhawks will take the floor
Tuesday night against Washburn
in the first exhibition game of
the season. In doing so, they will
also take their first steps toward
answering question No. 2.
Selby, the No. 1 recruit in the
country last year, has yet to be
cleared because of lingering ques-
tions about his amateur status. If
he isnt allowed to play, the hole
left by Sherron Collins gradu-
ation will become significantly
harder to fill.
The only candidate for the job
who would possibly take over
primary ball-handling duties is
sophomore Elijah Johnson, who
remains something of a mystery
to Kansas fans after getting two
starts in favor of Tyshawn Taylor
in nonconference play last year.
Johnson showed flashes of bril-
liance early in the season, but
played almost exclusively in gar-
bage time during the conference
season.
Coach Bill Self said Johnson has
the talent, but hasnt consistently
brought his best game to the floor
in game situations.
Elijah, to me, is the one guy I
really dont know yet, Self said.
Hes really improved. His strokes
improved, he wants to be a player,
the commitments there; but he
hasnt done it when the lights are
on.
Johnson may be the best pure
point guard on the team, more
inclined to set up his teammates
than score for himself. For evi-
dence, look no further than his
zero-point, nine-assist perfor-
mance against Alcorn State last
season.
Another potential starter is
senior Tyrel Reed, who coach Bill
Self has said plays below his ath-
letic ability. Reed has the best
vertical on the team, measured
at an incredible 42 inches, and is
reportedly also the fastest player
in a straight line on the Kansas
roster. Reeds ability to spread the
floor as an outside shooter makes
him a dangerous option for the
Jayhawks.
Hell have a chance to fight for
a starting spot and we expect him
to be what hes always been for us:
a shot-maker, but hes more than
a specialist, Self said. His ball-
handling and passing has gotten
better to the point where hes more
of a complete guard than he has
been since hes been here.
Senior Brady Morningstar
doesnt brings Reeds athleticism
to the table, but he may be the
cleanest passer. He led the team
with a 2.8 assist-to-turnover ratio
(Reed was second at 2.6-to-1),
and is the teams best man defend-
er. At the Jayhawks media day,
Morningstar said his role hadnt
changed, but that there would be
plenty of chances for it to.
A lot of roles are going to
change, he said, but I think
theyll change in a good way.
Perhaps the biggest wildcard is
freshman Royce Woolridge, who
developed a reputation as a lethal
scorer at the high school level.
Woolridge had five points, two
assists and a rebound in 12 min-
utes in the Late Night scrimmage.
Royce Woolridge has been one
of the surprises in practice, soph-
omore forward Thomas Robinson
said. He gets to the basket at
will.
Self said hell wait to see what
kind of effect Woolridge could
have in the exhibitions, but that he
didnt know if Woolridge would be
a factor as the season progressed.
Well play him in the exhibi-
tion games and then well decide
later on if a redshirt would be a
possibility, Self said. Hes going
to be a guy that really helps our
program over time.
The talented freshman is consid-
ered a legitimate candidate to take
a redshirt this year, but is allowed
to play in exhibitions before the
season. Any upperclassmen who
might take a redshirt Self said
Conner Teahan is the only candi-
date lose that possibility if they
play in exhibitions.
A lot probably depends on Josh
Selbys situation, Self said, but
Royce is coming along nicely.
Robinson, a close friend of
Johnsons, said the emphasis on
starting was too much.
The work ethic of our whole
team should be that were all going
to start, he said. Because when
we come in the game, we have
to produce just as much as
them.

The Jayhawks will be thin in
the backcourt because of injuries
when they start
exhibition play
tonight against
Washburn.
S o p h o mo r e
center Jeff
Withey is still
recovering from
a broken foot in
late September.
Coach thought
that Withey
would have been 100 percent and
up to full speed yesterday, but Self
said that he has at least another
week or two before he is healthy.
He needs the reps as much as
anybody, Self said. Missing prac-
tice at this time of the year is like
missing like all your two-a-days in
football.
Despite having surgery to
remove a hernia on Oct. 21, junior
forward Markieff Morris will be
able to play.
He may not play 30 minutes,
but hell play, Self said.
W h e n
Morris and
Withey arent
on the court,
Self will be
able to look
at guards
senior
Mario Little
and sopho-
more Travis
Releford at
the power forward position. Self
said Releford has been at the four at
about 40 percent and Little at about
70 percent. He, however, doesnt
look at position numbers because
Little could be on the court with
both Markieff and junior forward
Marcus Morris.
Both Little and Releford red-
shirted last season after playing in
2008-2009, but that doesnt mean
that theyve been sitting on the
bench.
They were on the court the
whole time last year, but they didnt
play in the games, Self said.
Both Little and Releford are
eager to get back on the court for a
game that counts.
Sitting out, redshirting; its
tough, Little said. Now my chance
is here, itll be fun.
However, Little cant remember
that last time he suited up for the
Jayhawks.
His last game was in the Sweet
16 against Michigan State in 2009
when Kansas lost 67-62. Little
played seven minutes and scored
two points.
Relefords last game was
in the first round of the
2009 NCAA Tournament
when he played one min-
ute versus Dayton in the
Second Round.
Releford says his
defense has gotten
better and that is
what he is priding
himself on this sea-
son.
People have
been judging us
about being a fast
team this year so
we are going to use
our athleticism to
try and get points off
that, Releford said.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many 100-plus point
games have the Jayhawks had in
exhibition games?
A: Twenty-three, including the
last three.
KU Athletics
E
ight innings pitched, three hits giv-
en up, two walks, six strikeouts, no
earned runs and no one watching.
The 21-year-old Madison Bumgarner,
pitched the game of his life, and while an
overnight rating from Sunday showed 12.75
million viewers for game four of the World
Series, Sunday Night Football, airing at the
same time, had viewers exceeding 17 mil-
lion.
October is always an awesome yet hor-
rible time for sports fans.
With each of the four major sports
overlapping, a standard DVR just doesnt
cut it for those who cant get enough of the
games.
The odd man out in this situation just
happens to be our national pastime.
Excluding the Red Sox championship in
2004, raking in 28 million viewers, ratings
have dropped from 39 million viewers to
Sunday nights 12.75 viewers since 2001.
Perhaps its because no one cares about
baseball when his or her team is out.
Its not like people watch the Super Bowl
when their team is knocked out of the post-
season tournament, right?
Wrong. The last time the Super Bowl
received viewership under 20 million was
Super Bowl I in 1967, Kansas City against
Green Bay.
Yes, that is an extreme comparison.
However it is a championship, and the
Giants and Rangers are playing for just that.
Despite the fact that the Giants went
up 3-1 on Sunday, this has been an excit-
ing series to watch. The pitching duels are
something out of an All-Star game.
So my question is: If October is so syn-
onymous with the MLB, why are fewer and
fewer people watching?
Is the attention span of the U.S. society so
short we cant stand to watch nine innings
of what is arguably the best baseball of the
season? If thats the case, then wouldnt
hockey have more viewers? No offense to
the NHL, who has been doing a great job
recently in creating excitement about the
league, but the viewers just arent there.
Americans are starting to become one-
trick ponies. It seems as though its football
or nothing. It will be very interesting to see
what happens next October with the NFL
lockout looming.
My advice, check out those Chicago
Blackhawks.

OBITUARY
Mcclatchy-triBune
BUFFALO GROVE, Ill.
Hundreds celebrated the short,
bright life of Declan Drumm
Sullivan with Irish song and
Catholic tradition Monday, five
days after the 20-year-old died
while videotaping a Notre Dame
University football practice.
Family members have let go
of fear and anger and emotions,
said Sullivans uncle, Michael
Miley, who described the theme
of the funeral service as one of
letting go.
It was beautiful and soaring,
he said.
Notre Dame football coach
Brian Kelly and two busloads
of college students attended the
funeral at St. Mary Church in
Buffalo Grove, where Sullivan
had gone to school as a child.
He graduated from Carmel High
School in Mundelein, Ill., which
also sent a bus filled with stu-
dents to the standing-room-only
service.
Speakers included Sullivans
sister, a Notre Dame student,
Miley said. The funeral also fea-
tured a choir and Irish perfor-
mances, said Miley, the family
spokesman.
We hope over the next few
days, weeks and months that
people in the community will
heal as we are beginning to do,
Miley said.
Sullivan, of Long Grove, Ill.,
was in an aerial scissor lift record-
ing video footage of a football
practice during a strong wind
advisory when the lift toppled
onto the street.
Indianas Occupational Safety
and Health Administration said
the death has been classified as a
workplace fatality. Investigators
will look into whether the lift was
being operated safely, including
whether it should have been used
in 33-mph winds with gusts of 51
mph, officials have said.
Sullivan, a junior with a dou-
ble major in marketing and film,
enjoyed writing music reviews
for Notre Dames student news-
paper. On Wednesday, he was
working for the universitys ath-
letic department when taping the
football practice.
NFL
Vikings release Moss
after just four games
Mcclatchy-triBune

If the trade last month that
sent Randy Moss from the
Patriots to the Vikings wasnt a
big enough shock, how about
the Vikings releasing the mercu-
rial wide receiver after just four
games?
Vikings coach Brad Childress
informed his players Monday
morning at a team meeting that
Moss would not remain with
the team. An NFL source said
Monday that Moss had not been
placed on waivers, but the trans-
action was expected to happen
Tuesday. Teams would then have
24 hours to put in a claim for
Moss. He would be awarded to
the team with the worst record
that put in a claim.
The decision to release Moss
came a day after the Vikings
lost to the Patriots, 28-18, in
Foxboro. After the game, Moss
delivered a rambling five-minute
monologue in which he heaped
lavish praise on the Patriots
organization.
I miss them guys, man. I
miss the game, he said of the
Patriots, who traded Moss for a
third-round pick in 2011. It was
hard for me to come here and
play. Been an up-and-down roll-
er coaster emotionally all week.
And then to be able to come in
here and see those guys running
plays that I know what theyre
doing, and the success they had
on the field, the running game _
so I kind of know what kind of
feeling they have in their locker
room, man, and I just want to
be able to tell the guys that I
miss the hell out of them. Every
last helmet in that locker room,
man.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick
declined to say whether he
would put in a claim for Moss,
or whether hed sign him as a free
agent if Moss went unclaimed
and cleared waivers.
You know I cant comment
on the status of any of the other
players in the league or any
other transactions or anything
like that, Belichick said. Asked
hypothetically if Moss cleared
waivers, Belichick replied, If the
moon were made of Swiss cheese
... You know I cant comment.
The Vikings lost three of
the four games in which Moss
played. He had only one catch
for 8 yards against the Patriots.
In his four games, he had only
13 catches for 174 yards and two
touchdowns. Before being trad-
ed, Vikings quarterback Brett
Favre had lobbied the team to
acquire Moss.
Childress didnt tell reporters
about the move when he met
with the media Monday morn-
ing. Asked whether he regret-
ted making the trade for Moss,
Childress said not at present.
Moss never turned into the
deep threat the Vikings had envi-
sioned. His longest catch went
for 37 yards.
Im definitely down that we
lost this game. I didnt expect
wed lose this game, Moss said
Sunday. I dont know how
many more times Ill be in New
England again. But I leave coach
Belichick and those guys with a
salute: I love you guys. I miss
you. Im out.
Childress said he didnt see
Moss remarks as incendiary.
The closest he came to criticizing
him was when he admitted Moss
could have caught a pass that
fell incomplete in the end zone.
The Patriots were called for pass
interference on the play.
But again, I dont know,
Childress said. He was restrict-
ed. If they called pass interfer-
ence, there had to be some kind
of restriction.
Asked whether he thought
Moss had been playing hard,
Childress said, Hes playing hard
when he needs to play hard.

After a middling FCS team
stunned coach Turner Gill in his
Kansas debut on Sept. 4, he faced
another cold, hard reality three
days later. Lew Perkins, the man
who hired Gill in December 2009,
formally resigned as director of
athletics.
The move was a shock to
fans and media alike, as Perkins
announced in the summer that he
would remain at the helm of KU
Athletics until September 2011.
Three days after
the embarrass-
ing loss to the
North Dakota
State Bison,
Perkins was
out, replaced by
associate direc-
tor of athletics
Sean Lester.
The timing of
the resignation
added fuel to the
fire of speculation across campus
and in the media regarding Gills
performance in week one. His
biggest hire while at Kansas was
probably looking for support after
the bad loss. Perkins had none
to offer. Instead he took his $2
million settlement check and left
the spotlight, leaving Gill to deal
with the media scrutiny and dis-
gruntled fans. He signed Gill to a
5-year contract worth $2 million
per year also.
After opening the season 2-2,
Gill has lost four straight games
in the Big 12. With a matchup
against the Colorado Buffaloes on
Saturday, Gill said he doesnt have
time to worry about who the next
athletic director will be.
Those are things I have no con-
trol over, Gill said of the AD hire.
All I can do is focus on teaching
our players and to do the best that
I can for our football team.
Finishing the season with at
least one con-
ference win
would most
c e r t a i n l y
relieve some
pressure off
Gill and his
staff, but
anyone who
thinks Gills
job is in jeop-
ardy after year
one needs to
read the fine print of his contract.
When Lew Perkins hired Gill
in December, he didnt include a
buyout for the $10 million, 5-year
deal. Kansas Athletics would have
to pay Gill the remaining $8 mil-
lion if it decided to fire him after
this season. With the money paid
to Perkins and the buyout money
still being paid to former coach
Mark Mangino, the University
Athletic budget is in no position
to shell out an additional $8 mil-
lion to bring in another coach.
Critics will have to wait patiently
while Gill settles in.
Still implementing his system
and yet to have a full recruiting
class of his own, Gill said he just
hopes to see improvements every
week from his players.
I know we are making progress
here, particularly in the last two
ball games, Gill said.
After leading Iowa State at half-
time last Saturday and only los-
ing by 12 (as opposed to 48, 52
and 35 the previous three weeks),
the team showed some signs of
improving in the running game
and pass rush, running for 119
yards while grabbing two more
sacks, bringing the season sack
total to eight.
No matter what happens against
Colorado or the following three
games to end the season, Gill said
he believes he will have enough
time in Lawrence to carry out his
plans.
We believe in what we are try-
ing to accomplish, Gill said. Were
still trying to get the right players
in the right place, and I have con-
fidence in the administration to
give us time to accomplish what
were trying to do here.

Big 10 postponing
new division names
CHiCAgO Commissioner Jim
delany wants the names of the
big Tens new divisions to conjure
up the right feelings in people
a positive, emotional response.
Wouldnt Stars and Stripes ft
the bill?
Not bad, delany replied.
good suggestion. its there with
everything else.
delany set an original goal of
dec. 1 to unveil the names, plus
a new logo that will refect the
12-team big Ten. but last week
he said he might need an extra
60 days.
i asked readers last week to
suggest division names. More
than 60 of you did, and all i can
say is: Wow, this aint easy.
Many ideas still contained
names from big Ten folklore
(grange and grifn, ber-
wanger and Stagg) or stub-
bornly pushed for a geographical
favor (great lakes and Prairie,
rust belt and grain belt),
despite the leagues reluctance
to use either geography or the
names of legendary coaches or
athletes that represent just two
schools.
The majority were serious,
including Caps and gowns;
Thunder and lightning; vic-
tory and Triumph and rose
and Thorn.
One reader commented: The
way they screwed up those divi-
sions, dumb and dumber might
be more appropriate.

Giants win trophy for the frst time since moving West
AssociAted Press
ARLINGTON, Texas The
prize that eluded Willie and Barry
at long last belongs to the San
Francisco Giants, thanks to a band
of self-described castoffs and mis-
fits and their shaggy-haired ace.
Tim Lincecum, Edgar Renteria
and the Giants won the World
Series on Monday night, beating
the Texas Rangers 3-1 in a tense
Game 5 and taking the trophy
home to the city by the Bay for the
first time.
It was an overdue victory
the Giants last wore the crown in
1954, four years before they moved
West. So much for a franchise that
never quite got it done in October
despite the likes of baseball giants
Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and
Juan Marichal. Its November, and
now new stars stand tall in San
Francisco.
Lincecum outdueled Cliff Lee in
an every-pitch-matters matchup
that was scoreless until Renteria,
the Series MVP, hit a stunning
three-run homer with two outs in
the seventh inning. Nelson Cruz
homered in the bottom half, but
Lincecum returned to his wicked
self and preserved the lead.
Lincecum won this game of
Texas Hold em, beating Lee for
the second time in a week. The
two-time NL Cy Young win-
ner gave up three hits over eight
innings and struck out 10.
Brian Wilson closed for a save,
completing a surprising romp
through the postseason for a
pitching-rich team that waited
until the final day to clinch a
playoff spot.
Manager Bruce Bochy enjoys
calling his Giants a ragtag bunch.
Maybe Cody Ross, Aubrey Huff
and Freddy Sanchez fit that
description. But the foundation
of this club for now, for the
foreseeable future is totally
home grown, built on a deep, tal-
ented and young rotation, a rookie
catcher with huge star potential
and their bearded closer.
Renteria reprised his role of
postseason star. His 11th-inning
single ended Game 7 of the 1997
World Series and lifted Florida
over Cleveland. Forget that he
made the last out in the 2004
Series that finished Bostons sweep
of St. Louis this journeymans
path led to another title, helped by
his go-ahead home run in Game
2.
A team seemingly free of egos
did everything right to take the
lead. Ross, the surprising MVP
of the NL championship series,
stayed square and hit a leadoff
single and Juan Uribe followed
with another hit up the middle.
That put a runner at second
base for the first time in the game
and brought up Huff, who led the
Giants in home runs this year. So
what did he do? He expertly put
down the first sacrifice bunt of
his career.
Lee struck out Pat Burrell to
keep the runners put, but Ross
began hopping home as soon as
Renteria connected, sending a
drive that kept sailing and landed
over the left-center field wall.
And just like that, all the Giants
past troubles seemed like ancient
history.
The Giants won their previous
title when they played in New
York at the Polo Grounds. Thats
where Mays raced back for per-
haps the most famous catch of
all time.
They moved West in 1958 and
had tried ever since to escape a
sort of big league Alcatraz the
place where teams get stuck for
decades as also-rans. The Red Sox
and White Sox got free, not so the
Cubs and Indians.
So clang the cable car bells.
Loudly, too. Baseballs best play
in the Bay.
Exactly when these Giants
turned into world beaters is hard
to say. Trailing San Diego by 7
games in the NL West on July 4,
they meandered in the wild-card
race until the stretch run, winning
the division and finishing 92-70.
Come the playoffs, they became
dangerous. Any well-armed team
is. Start with Matt Cain three
postseason starts, a 0.00 ERA.
Throw in Lincecum, the two-time
Cy Young winner. Add Madison
Bumgarner, the 21-year-old
rookie who helped blank Texas in
Game 4.
San Francisco posted a trio
of one-run wins in the opening
round that sent Atlanta manager
Bobby Cox into retirement, then
stopped the two-time defend-
ing NL champion Phillies in the
championship series. Those wins,
like this came on the road.
In the Year of the Pitcher, the
World Series proved the oldest
adage in the game: Good pitching
stops good hitting, every time.
Lincecum and the team with the
best ERA in the big leagues com-
pletely shut down Josh Hamilton
and the club with the majors top
batting average.
Texas became the latest Series
newcomer to make a quick exit.
Houston (2005) and Colorado
(2007) got swept in their first
appearances, Tampa Bay (2008)
stuck around for just five games.
The AL champion Rangers
became the first team since 1966
to get shut out twice in a World
Series, with big hitters Hamilton,
Vladimir Guerrero and Cruz left
taking half-swings or flailing
wildly.
The Rangers franchise wrapped
up its 50th season overall, seem-
ingly in good hands with Nolan
Ryan as president and part-owner.
If only Big Tex could teach his
team to hit, too.
The Giants earned their sixth
title overall.

INDIANAPOLIS Peyton
Manning got Indianapolis make-
shif ofense chugging like its old
self Monday night.
Te four-time league MVP threw
for two touchdowns, then watched
Mike Hart run for a career-high
84 yards and Jacob Tamme score
his frst career TD to help Indy get
past Houston 30-17.
Te victory allowed the Colts
(5-2) to get even in the head-
to-head series with Houston (4-
3) and gave the defending AFC
champions sole possession of the
South Division lead for the frst
time this season.
And even though the Colts were
missing All-Pro tight end Dallas
Clark, receiver Austin Collie and
running back Joseph Addai with
injuries, Manning and his team-
mates didnt miss a beat.
Whoevers in there has to fnd
a way to do the job. Its not always
going to be pretty, but weve just
got to keep grinding and making
some plays, Manning said.
Manning went 26 of 45 for 268
yards. Hart ran with the same de-
termination he used to become
Michigans career rushing leader
and provided the Colts with a rare
ground game, and Tamme, Clarks
replacement, caught six passes for
64 yards.
But it wasnt just the new guys
making plays or only the of-
fense.
Reggie Wayne caught a touch-
down pass, Manning ran for a frst
down for the frst time in nearly
two years, and even became the
lead blocker on a frst-down catch-
and-run by Pierre Garcon in the
third quarter.
Indys defense put consistent
pressure on Houston quarterback
Matt Schaub, too.
Tats how important Mondays
game was to the Colts.
Its a big win and we needed it,
Tamme said.
Schaub struggled horribly in
the frst half and couldnt rally the
Texans in the second as defensive
ends Dwight Freeney and Robert
Mathis applied pressure. Indy had
three sacks.
Te louder-than-normal crowd
created problems for Schaub hear-
ing play calls on his helmet radio,
barking out signals to teammates,
and even trying to make plays. Te
2009 NFL leader in yards pass-
ing fnished the half 5 of 15 for 37
yards with one interception and a
rating of 14.6.
Schaub was better in the sec-
ond half, fnishing 22 of 38 for 201
yards with one TD. But the dam-
age was already done.
What a great job of playing
hard and coming back, Colts
coach Jim Caldwell said. When
bad things happen to them, they
dont take it lightly.
Te Colts made sure more bad
things wouldnt happen Monday
night.
Te Colts went 78 yards on their
second series, getting a 2-yard TD
pass from Manning to Tamme to
make it 7-0.
On the second play of the sec-
ond quarter, the maligned defense
gave Indy the play it desperately
needed.
Kelvin Hayden jumped in front
of Kevin Walter, picked of Schaubs
pass on the dead run and sprinted
25 yards to make it 14-0.

Deng scores career high
and leads Bulls to victory
AssociAted Press
CHICAGO Luol Deng
scored a career-high 40 points to
lead the Chicago Bulls to a 110-
98 victory over the Portland Trail
Blazers on Monday night.
Deng scored
16 points in the
first and third
quarters and
shot 14-of-19
from the floor
in the game.
He passed his
previous career
best of 38 with
a 3-pointer
from the cor-
ner with 5:48 to play. The shot
put the Bulls up 101-84. He had
38 points against the Blazers on
March 26, 2007.
Derrick Rose, who entered the
game as the NBAs leading scorer,
added 16 points and 12 assists for
Chicago (2-1).
The Trail Blazers entered the
game 3-0, with all three of their
victories coming as a result of
fourth quarter comebacks.
Portland outscored opponents
85-49 in the final quarters of its
first three games, but were unable
to mount a sustained rally against
the Bulls.
Portland rallied from nine
points down with a 17-3 run to
finish its game in New York on
Friday night. Reserves Dante
Cunningham and Armon Johnson
scored on layups on back-to-back
possessions to cut Chicagos lead
to nine with 3:51 to play. Was
another rally
in the offing?
Not this
time. Kyle
K o r v e r s
3-pointer with
3:01 to play
put Chicago
up 105-92 and
the Blazers
werent able
to get closer
than 12 points
after that.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored
a season-high 33 points for
Portland (3-1), almost single-
handedly keeping the Blazers in
the game through three quarters.
Aldridge was originally drafted
by the Bulls in 2006 but was
traded the same day in a deal that
sent fellow draftee Tyrus Thomas
to Chicago.
Brandon Roy added 17 points
for the Blazers on 4-of-12 shoot-
ing.
Deng scored 16 points in the
first quarter, much of it coming in
transition, where Bulls outscored
the Trail Blazers 12-0 and built a
32-21 lead. The Blazers entered
the game as the NBAs top three-
point shooting team, but went
0-for-3 from there in the opening
period and 0-of-14 in the game.
Chicagos Joakim Noah, who
entered the game as the NBAs
top rebounder in the seasons
early going, had 10 points and 10
rebounds in 42 minutes.
Derrick Rose, who entered the
game as the NBAs leading
scored, added 16 points and 12
assists for Chicago (2-1).
Determined Manning leads Colts to win against Texans
AssociAted Press
VANCOUVER, British
Columbia Raffi Torres and
Ryan Kesler staked Vancouver to
a two-goal lead early in the sec-
ond period, and Roberto Luongo
made 30 saves in the Canucks
3-0 victory over the New Jersey
Devils on Monday night.
Henrik Sedin rounded out the
scoring on a penalty shot with
6:17 left as the Canucks, playing
their first game in six days, won
their third straight and improved
to 5-0-1 on home ice.
Martin Brodeur finished with
20 saves for the Devils, who are
off to their worst start in 27 years
at 3-9-1 and last in the NHL with
just seven points.
New Jersey was playing its
third road
game in four
nights, and
first since top
forward Zach
Parise hurt his
knee Saturday
in Los Angeles.
Parise, who
averaged more
than 36 goals
the past four
seasons, will have exploratory
arthroscopic knee surgery, a big
blow to a team ranked last in the
NHL with 20 goals.
Luongo wasnt tested often by
a Devils team that has scored
two goals or fewer in six straight
games, but made an early point-
blank rebound save off Devils
star Ilya Kovalchuk, who was
held without a point for a fourth
straight game.
Luongo got a break on an
apparent goal in the second peri-
od as the referee ruled David
Clarkson interfered with the
goaltender, penalizing the for-
ward and waving off the goal.
Luongo also was fortunate when
Matt Taormina hit the post late
in the second period, but made
a nice glove save on Kovalchuk
early in the third for his first
shutout of the season, and 52nd
of his career, second to Brodeur
(112) among all active goalies.
Brodeur also got a couple of
good breaks early, with defen-
seman Colin White pulling a
puck off the goal line after an
Alex Edler point shot bounced
through him and trickled toward
the net at 2:30.
And Canucks defender
Christian Ehrhoff hit the post
three minutes later with an
empty net, then watched as the
puck ricocheted off the stick of
a diving Brodeur, off the other
post and out.
Torres opened the scoring
with 6:41 left in the first after
Taormina, one of three rook-
ies of the
injury-rid-
dled Devils
d e f e n s e ,
coughed up
the puck
behind his
own net.
M a n n y
Ma l h o t r a
pounced on
it and fed
Torres in front of the net for a
quick shot over the right shoul-
der of Brodeur.
Kesler made it 2-0 on a
rebound shortly after killing off
a second straight power play
early in the second period. New
Jersey finished 0 for 2 with the
man advantage and is last in the
league with just three goals on
41 chances.
Canucks left wing Daniel
Sedin failed to record a point for
the first time all season, ending
his nine-game streak with seven
goals and five assists. Vancouver
defender Keith Ballard returned
after missing five games with
post-concussion symptoms, but
defender Ryan Parent sat out
with a sore groin.
