Fired up about coal
Lawrences coal-fired plant contributes to high asthma rates, river pollution

Te University announced a new
alcohol policy Tuesday that allows
for parental notifcation, mandates
an online alcohol assessment for
freshmen and encourages students
to seek help in emergencies.
University ofcials announced
the changes in an e-mail sent to all
students by Provost Richard Lariv-
iere Tuesday morning.
Te changes come on the heels of
two alcohol-related student deaths
during the past two months.
Some will say KU was late to
the game, but we had our policies
and we re-evaluated, and we think
were doing everything possible,
said Marlesa Roney, vice provost of
Student Success.
AMnEStY
Te frst change institutes an am-
nesty policy, which will protect from
punishment any underage student
who seeks immediate medical as-
sistance in alcohol-related emergen-
cies.
Lariviere said in the e-mail that
this change was made afer students
said they were reluctant to get help
for alcohol-related health issues be-
cause they feared getting themselves
or their campus housing organiza-
tions in trouble.
While that should never stop
you from getting help for a friend in
trouble, eliminating the threat of be-
ing written up takes away that rea-
son to not seek help, Lariviere said.
Many schools began implement-
ing similar systems afer Cornell
University pioneered the idea with
its Good Samaritan policy in
2002. According to a 2006 study in
the International Journal of Drug
Policy, the number of Cornell stu-
dents who called for help in alcohol-
related emergencies doubled afer
the policy was created, though alco-
hol abuse rates remained relatively
constant.
PArEntAl
nOtIfIcAtIOn
KU ofcials will now be able
to notify the parents of underage
students who are caught violating
alcohol or drug policy on campus.
Te policy goes into efect imme-
diately.
Roney said the intent was not to
punish students, rather to educate
them.
Its about helping students,
she said. We want to make sure

Mark Petterson competed in his
own Border Showdown on Mon-
days episode of the Jeopardy!
College Championship tourna-
ment.
Petterson, Prairie Village senior,
tried to outsmart Laura Myers from
the University of Missouri and Jen-
nifer Duann from Ohio State Uni-
versity for a chance to make it to
the tournaments semi-fnal and
fnal rounds next week where there
is a $100,000 grand prize. Petterson
is the frst KU student to appear on
the show.
Afer answering questions about
the Big 12 and Google, Petterson
took second place with $16,200.
Myers earned $21,600 and took
frst place in that episode some-
thing that Petterson attributed to
her quick buzzer-clicking skills.
Its really easy to play at home,
but you have three seconds to read
the question to decide if you know
the answer and then to get your self
to buzz in before the other contes-
tants, which is difcult in itself,
Petterson, a creative writing major,
said.
To help Petterson celebrate his
Jeopardy! appearance, more than
20 family members and friends
gathered at the Red Lyon Tavern
downtown on Monday to watch the
show and cheer him on.
Joshua Jacobs, Pettersons room-
mate and a Lord of the Rings fan,

rectly answered a question about

horse.

Chaz Steele has lived in Lawrence his
whole life. A 14-year sufferer of asthma,
Steele, Lawrence senior, has no doubt in
his mind that living near Lawrences coal-
fired plant has contributed to his asthma
struggle.
In recent years, Douglas County has
experienced asthma rates far above the
national average. Thats not surprising to
local doctors and national experts, who
say that coal-fired plants like the one in
Lawrence create levels of air and water pol-
lution that are bad for health.
When you have a coal plant in your
neighborhood, youre going to have an
increased number of people with asthma,
and they will have worse problems more
often, said Ronald Weiner, a doctor who
has been treating asthma patients in
Lawrence for 25 years.
Westar Energys coal-fired plant, known
as the Lawrence Energy Center (LEC), is
one of the dirtiest in the country, accord-
ing to a 2007 report by the Environmental
Integrity Project, a nonprofit organization
formed by former U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency attorneys. The report
ranked the LEC as the 12th dirtiest coal-
fired plant out of the nations 378 largest,
in part because of heavy emissions of car-
bon dioxide and other pollutants known
as greenhouse gases.

After two years of debate,
a decision has been reached
about proposed coal plants
in Holcomb.
Gov. Mark Parkinson and
Sunfower Energy came to an
agreement Monday to build
one 895-megawatt coal-fred
plant.
Sunfower Energys original
proposal was for Holcomb
to be the home for two
700-megawatt coal-fred
plants. In 2007, secretary
for the Kansas Department
of Health and Environment
rejected the original proposal
because of concerns about
pollutant emissions.
Former Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius also opposed
the plants and vetoed
their approval four times
during her tenure. But last
week Sebelius was sworn
in as secretary of the U.S.
Department of Health and
Human Services, leaving
the governor position to
Parkinson.

1. Prince Charles makes
video to save rainforests
LONDON Britains Prince
Charles has enlisted an animated
amphibian in his campaign to
protect the worlds rainforests.
The 90-second video was
launched online and in London
on Tuesday by the Princes Rain-
forest Project, Charles environ-
mental charity.
The Prince of Wales said the
goal of the video was to build
an online community to call,
from the bottom up, for urgent
action to protect the rainforests,

catastrophic climate change.
2. Freed activists have
bails revoked by judge
HARARE, Zimbabwe A judge
revoked the bail of a prominent
Zimbabwean rights activist and
17 other suspects Tuesday after
prosecutors formally charged
them in a case that has been
widely denounced as a sham.
Activist Jestina Mukoko ap-
peared stunned as she heard the
ruling from the dock, and stared
at Harare Magistrate Catherine
Chimanda as her supporters burst
into tears. Mukoko and the others
have said they were tortured dur-
ing an earlier stint in prison.
The suspects had been free on
bail for two months. Chimanda
said Tuesday she was sending
them back to prison because a
formal indictment fled Monday
accused Mukoko and the others
of sabotage, terrorism and ban-
ditry. The trial was to start July 4.

BILGE, Turkey Victims of a
deadly assault on an engagement
ceremony in Turkeys mostly Kurd-
ish southeast were buried side
by side Tuesday, and authorities
detained 11 suspects accused of
killing the betrothed couple
whose wedding they opposed
along with relatives and friends.
The death toll of 44 highlighted
the grisly lengths to which some
tradition-steeped clans will go
to defend what they view as the
honor of the family or tribe. The
killings Monday night happened
in a poor, rural region where
civilians have endured years of
fghting between Turkish soldiers
and Kurdish rebels who seek
autonomy.

All 79 of the miners were ac-

ATLANTA A Dominican im-

nearly four years in prison for
his involvement with a cocaine
distribution cell.
U.S. District Judge Jack Camp
sentenced Oscar Reynoso, 31, to
46 months in federal prison, with
fve years supervised release to
follow. Reynoso is a legal resident
who lived in Rhode Island but
will face deportation once he is
released, said U.S. Attorney David
Nahmias. He pleaded guilty in
March to conspiring to possess
with intent to distribute at least 5
kilograms of cocaine.

Cohabitation isnt just for people
in romantic relationships anymore,
says John Curtis, a former family
and marriage counselor and author
of Happily Un-Married: Living
Together and Loving it. May is
National Cohabitation Month.
Although some students live with
the opposite gender for romantic
reasons, others cohabitate because
its convenient or because they
want to live with their best friend.
According to Curtis, cohabitation
is founded in a widely diverse set
of reasons.
From his research on relation-
ships, Omri Gillath, assistant pro-
fessor of psychology, said people
should consider certain factors
before they decided cohabitation
was right for them.
I think two peoples set of pref-
erences are more important than
gender, Gillath said. Its also dif-
ferent if youre dating someone
else, whether or not your attracted
to each other, and how experienced
you are living outside of your house
plays into it.
Vanessa Green, Perdonia junior,
met her roommate, Jordan Gard,
sitting next to him in class fresh-
man year.
I told him that he smelled good,
Green said. He looked at me and
thought I was a freak.
Green said Gard was more laid
back than most of the girls she
knew, and it definitely made a dif-
ference in their living situation.
I never want to move, Green
said. I know what makes him mad
and he knows what makes me mad.
With him being a guy he doesnt
hold grudges, and we dont stay
mad at each other.
Green said she was cleaner than
he was, but they both performed
chores and picked up messes with-
out having to talk to each other
about it. Although they know
everything about each other, she
said he still did things she did not
understand.
We dont share a bathroom, but
hes a guy, Green said. He farts.
Its weird.
She said they had never been
interested in each other romanti-
cally but had become best friends.
Green said another perk of living
with Gard was when his attrac-
tive guy friends visited. Gillath said
having a roommate whom you
arent dating could increase a per-
sons chances of finding a partner.
Mallory Tangeman, Wichita
junior, said she and her other
female roommate met guys when
they had a male roommate. They
had more fun watching his roman-
tic pursuits unfold.
We saw him hanging out with
girls and then calling his ex-
girlfriend and she had no idea,
Tangeman said. It was just funny
to both of us because we dont have
brothers and so neither of us had
ever lived with a guy before.
Tangeman said her other room-
mate had a hard time with their
male roommate leaving the toilet
seat up but eventually learned to
live with it. Although he didnt
clean much, Tangeman said she
didnt attribute it to his gender.
Ive lived with messier girls
before, Tangeman said.
Tangeman said he never caused
drama and was more easy-going
than most girls, and they were sad
to see him leave in January. She said
some things were easier now that
she had all girl roommates again.
It is nice to not have to worry
about walking around the house in a
towel or anything, Tangeman said.

Students continue schools
tradition with banners
Thirteen students will carry
their school banners as they
lead the 2009 graduating class
through the Campanile and
down the hill to the commence-
ment ceremony May 17.
One student from each of
the Universitys 12 profes-
sional schools and the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences were
selected by administration and
faculty to carry the banners as
part of a 101-year-old tradition.
The deans and the faculty
pull together a list of outstand-
ing students and faculty-nomi-
nated ones,Toni Dixon, director
of communications for the
School of Business, said. They
look for students who have been
very involved in the school,
clubs and activities.
Bethany Shelton, Overland
Park graduate student, will carry
the banner for the School of Law
and said she was a little nervous.
I think itll be exciting and a
little intimidating, Shelton said.
Im a bit klutzy so I hope I dont
trip.
Joe Isaac, Wichita senior,
found out about a month ago
that he had been selected to
carry the School of Business
banner.
I didnt know much about it
but as I read through the letter, I
thought it was pretty cool and I
realized it was a pretty big privi-
lege, Isaac said. Its going to be
kind of weird not being able to
sit with my friends, but itll be a
big honor to be on stage with
the other banner carriers and
deans.
A.J. Naeger, Lawrence senior
and nontraditional student,
said his wife and son would be
in the audience as he carried
the banner for the School of
Architecture.
Im not nervous, Naeger
said. Im just happy I dont have
to give a speech.

Ofcials stop recommending
schools to close for swine fu
AssociAtEd PREss
ATLANTA U.S. health offi-
cials are no longer recommending
that schools close if students come
down with swine flu, the govern-
ment said Tuesday.
Last week, schools were advised
to shut down for about two weeks
if there were suspected cases of
swine flu. Hundreds of schools
around the country have followed
the governments guidance and
closed schools, giving students an
unexpected vacation and leaving
parents scrambling for child care.
We no longer feel that school
closure is warranted, said Dr.
Richard Besser, acting director of
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said
the swine flu virus had turned out
to be milder than feared and the
government decided to change its
advice. So far, the virus has not
proved to be more infectious or
deadly than the seasonal flu.
The CDC said parents should
still make sure to keep sick chil-
dren with flulike symptoms at
home for seven days.
As the threat seemed to diminish,
health officials also considered the
problems the closings were creating
for parents, Besser said. Officials
were hearing about children getting
dropped off at libraries, or parents
who couldnt take sick leave to care
for their children.
The downsides of school clo-
sure start to outweigh the ben-
efits, Besser said.
The change in guidance was
made in consultation with the
White House and other officials,
Besser and others said.
An estimated 726 public and
nonpublic schools were closed
Tuesday for flu-related reasons
in 24 states and the District of
Columbia, according to the
Education Department. In total,
these schools enroll approximately
468,000 students on a typical day.
55 million students attend about
100,000 schools in the U.S.
The number of confirmed swine
flu cases in the United States is
now over 400, with hundreds more
probable cases. The CDC knows
of 35 swine flu-related hospitaliza-
tions and one death, a Mexican
toddler who died in Texas.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Students head back to school Tuesday morning at Rocori Middle School in Cold Spring,
Minn., after the school closed last week due to a case of the swine fu. Hundreds of schools
have closed but U.S. health ofcials said the virus had turned out to be milder than feared.

only wish they had been in place
before, but this is exactly what
needed to be done, Wren said in
an e-mail. Tere is no doubt this
will save lives.
Roney said that she expected
many students to react negatively to
the parental notifcation policy and
that those reactions probably fac-
tored into the reason the policy had
not been addressed before.
I dont really like it at all, Bea
Kilat, Salina freshman and Lewis
Hall resident, said of the changes. I
think the University should be do-
ing something, but I just dont com-
pletely agree with my records being
released to my parents without me
being able to sign a release form or
something like that.
Kilat said she thought she should
have more control over her records
because she was a legal adult.
Online
assessment
Another change would require
freshmen such as Kilat to complete
a mandatory online alcohol assess-
ment within the frst six weeks of
class. Te change will go into efect
for the fall semester.
Jori Krenzel, Chanute freshman,
said she didnt know whether the
policy changes would stop people
from drinking, but she said she
would take advantage of the new
amnesty policy.
She said she thought more could
be done to help students be better
aware of alcohol poisoning and how
to deal with it.
I think all these policies are good,
but I think campus should do more
programs to help students identify
alcohol poisoning, Krenzel said.
She said she wished the Univer-
sity provided more proactive pro-
gramming to inform students about
how to help friends who show signs
of alcohol poisoning.
Stephanie Patyk, Wichita junior,
who worked with the University
as part of an alcohol task force last
year, said she thought that the pol-
icy changes, while an improvement,
would not be enough to curtail abu-
sive drinking on campus.
I dont know how much more
itll do because a lot of it falls to
the parents, Patyk said. I think
the Universitys doing all they can,
especially because its an institution
not a parent. At a certain point,
youre an adult. Te University
cant watch every single move ev-
ery 40,000 students make. Its not
feasible.
Te University has formed the
Community Alcohol Coalition to
continue to assess alcohol use on
campus and to provide a commu-
nity approach to the problem.
Te coalition includes Mason
Heilman, Lawrence junior and stu-
dent body president; the chief of
Lawrence Police, a representative
of the Lawrence Bar Owners Asso-
ciation, Roney, and athletics direc-
tor Lew Perkins.
Roney said more new policies
and changes were expected in the
coming weeks and months.

said Petterson was someone who
hoarded all sorts of knowledge
and tried to be well-versed in
everything.
I played Trivial Pursuit with
him this past year and, basically,
he knew everything on every
card, she said.
While Petterson does not get
to keep all of the $16,200, he did
earn $5,000 for being one of the
15 students chosen to participate
in the tournament. He still has a
chance to make it to next weeks
semi-fnals.
Te Jeopardy! College Cham-
pionship is slightly diferent from
the regular game show. Each day
this week three students from col-
leges across the county compete
against each other. Te winners of
each game as well as the next four
highest money earners will go to
the semi-fnal and fnal matches
next week.
SIBLING RIVALRY FOR 200
But long before Petterson made
his Jeopardy! debut he had to
audition for the show.
Te process of making it onto
Jeopardy! began as a contest last
year between Petterson and his
brother, Joel, Prairie Village fresh-
man. Te two took the shows pre-
liminary online quiz to see who
could get the higher score. Nearly
10,000 students nationwide took
the test, said Maggie Speak, Jeop-
ardy! contestant coordinator.
Both brothers received high
enough scores to be invited to Chi-
cago in October for an in-person
audition where each had to play a
pretend game of Jeopardy! and
do a 30-second video interview.
Several months later Petterson
received a phone call from a pro-
ducer of Jeopardy! Te phone
call came at an inopportune time
Petterson was sitting in the
emergency room with a bloody
chin. A ladder had hit him in the
face when he was painting houses
earlier that afernoon.
Te ironic thing was that I was
actually too poor to pay for stitch-
es, so they super glued my chin
together, Petterson said.
Te producer told Petterson that
he was one of the students chosen
to appear on the 21st Jeopardy!
College Championship.
Petterson thought the call was a
prank.
Fortunately for Petterson, the
call wasnt a prank, and he soon
found himself fying to Los An-
geles to spend a week flming the
show.
Hes a little bit diferent than
what you would consider a Jeop-
ardy! contestant, Speak said.
Hes got an air of a rock and roller
about him.
Speak described Petterson as
surprise game player: a contes-
tant who plays quietly and then
makes several big moves.
But Petterson, a self-proclaimed
slacker, said he has a knack for
remembering facts.
I dont know how Ive accumu-
lated these random bits of knowl-
edge, Petterson said. I dont read
the dictionary or encyclopedia.
Hes already bought tickets to
the 2010 World Cup in South Afri-
ca with his prize money and hopes
that next time he has to go to the
emergency room, he can avoid the
super glue.
Hopefully, Ill win some money
and the next time I can get my face
repaired correctly, Petterson said.

WICHITA Prosecutors are
asking an appellate court to over-
rule a federal judge and allow them
to present evidence linking a Kansas
clinic to all 59 overdose deaths men-
tioned in an indictment against a
doctor and his wife, rather than lim-
iting the case to just four deaths.
A three-judge panel of the 10th
Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver
will hear arguments Wednesday in
the case of Dr. Stephen Schneider
and his wife, Linda. The Haysville
couple was arrested in December
2007 after a grand jury returned a
34-count indictment alleging they
wrongfully prescribed drugs and
overbilled for medical services.
The indictment alleges the cou-
ples actions resulted in numerous
overdoses, including 21 deaths
specifically charged in four of the
counts. Prosecutors also claim an
additional 38 patients of the clinic
died from overdoses.
In his January ruling, U.S. District
Judge Monti Belot did not question
the validity of the evidence. Instead,
he questioned the need to present
that much information and said
doing so would just confuse the
jury.
He also said the trial would go
on forever with no useful purpose if
every death were included.
The Schneiders contend they are
innocent and that the federal gov-
ernment is improperly interfering
in the doctor-patient relationship.
In their appeal, prosecutors
argued that the judge exceeded his
authority by amending an indict-
ment that had been returned by a
grand jury.
Belot also limited each side to just
10 days of testimony.
The Justice Department contends
that time limit is unreasonable,
given the complexity of the case.
Defense attorneys argued the
judges decision was proper, noting
the defendants still face the same
penalty of 20 years to life if con-
victed of a single death.
Trial courts have the author-
ity indeed the duty to exclude
evidence that is confusing, mis-
leading and time consuming, the
defense wrote.
However, defense attorneys have
questioned the scientific reliabil-
ity of the testimony expected from
some of the governments expert
witnesses and will ask the appeals
panel to prevent those people from
testifying.

It was two months ago that
Ashley, a KU junior who asked
that her last name not be used,
visited her gynecologist for a pap
smear. Ashley had been getting
her annual pap smear since her
senior year of high school and
each sample had returned from
the lab free of irregular results.
She waited for the same phone
call she had received for four
years, which would tell her every-
thing was normal. But this year
she answered the phone and
heard different results: She had
tested positive for human papil-
lomavirus.
That was the scariest phone
call I have ever gotten, she said.
Had she received the Gardasil
vaccine before becoming sexually
active, Ashley might never have
gotten the phone call. Ashley said
her diagnosis came as a shock
to both her and her boyfriend.
He was her first partner, but like
most men who are carriers, he
was unaware he was a carrier and
was uninformed about the virus.
Kathy Guth, nurse practitioner
in the Watkins Memorial Health
Centers gynecology department,
said she frequently visited with
students who contracted HPV.
Guth said she diagnosed an aver-
age of four to five KU students
with HPV every week.
Ive seen a Gardasil commer-
cial but I didnt know what HPV
was, Ashley said.
She said she didnt pay much
attention to the commercials
because she didnt think HPV
would ever affect her.
The vaccine
Gardasil, a three-part vaccine
designed to prevent HPV and
cervical cancer, was introduced
to the pharmaceutical market in
2006. Gardasil protects women
from four different types of HPV:
types 16 and 17, which cause 70
percent of cervical cancer cases;
and types 6 and 11, which cause
90 percent of genital wart cases.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
HPV is the most common sexu-
ally transmitted infection. More
than 40 different strains of HPV
affect men and women. Ashley
said her doctor informed her she
had contracted a pre-cancerous
strain of the virus.
Guth said women were more
likely to notice the infection but
that men contracted the infection
just as often.
Ashley said she told her mother
that she had HPV, but her mother
asked her not to tell her father.
I dont want him to think his
little girl is having sex, Ashley
said, remembering her mothers
reaction.
Renee Carey, Lawrence native
and mother of an 11-year-old girl,
isnt sure shell have her daughter
vaccinated, though.
I dont understand why every-
one is jumping on the bandwag-
on, she said. Its just a big phar-
maceutical campaign.
Carey said that she didnt see
a reason to push more vaccines
on her daughter and that she was
leery that there was not enough
evidence to support the vaccines
effectiveness.
Physicians at Watkins, how-
ever, say the vaccine has been
more successful than they antici-
pated. Patricia Denning, senior
staff physician, said she decided
to have her daughter vaccinated
in middle school because she
trusted the vaccine.
I have encouraged both of
my daughters to get vaccinat-
ed, Beth Sakamura, a Lawrence
nurse, said. Though Sakamuras
daughters are adults, she said she
thought vaccinating young girls
was a good idea. The Gardasil
vaccine is available for women
between the ages of 9 and 26.
The cosT
Denning said Watkins offered
health care to students at mini-
mal costs, but coverage of the
vaccine depends on individual
health care insurance.
Its quite costly, said Lisa
Horn, communications director
at the Lawrence Douglas County
Health Department.
Horn said the health depart-
ment had recently stopped offer-
ing the vaccine because of state
budget cuts. Horn said the vac-
cine had cost patients $143 per
shot and was too expensive to
keep in stock.
Any time there is a new prod-
uct, insurance companies are hes-
itant to cover it, Denning said.
Possible effecTs
Along with the price tag, Guth
said some patients had expressed
concerns about whether the vac-
cine was effective and wondered
whether there were any side
effects. Gardasil lists a number
of possible side effects including
pain on site of injection, head-
ache, fever, nausea and fainting.
The CDC reported that one in 60
patients would likely experience
a mild fever, but nothing that
wouldnt go away on its own.
Denning said there were always
risks involved when receiving
a vaccine because each patient
reacted differently. She has seen
an occasional allergic reaction
and a patient faint, but she said
side effects had not occurred more
frequently than with other vac-
cines. Denning said that Watkins
had been one of 17 test sites for
the vaccine six years before it was
approved by the FDA and that the
health center had seen minimal
negative reactions.
Courtney Jerome, Austin,
Texas, junior, received the vac-
cine last year and didnt notice
any side effects aside from a
burning sensation on the site of
the injection.
Ashley said she recently start-
ed getting the Gardasil vaccine
so she wouldnt contract other
strains of the HPV virus.
Since testing positive for HPV,
Ashley has had to get a pap smear
twice a year and will have to keep
doing so until two pap smears
come back normal.
Its just awful, Ashley said.
When you get HPV, its a wait-
ing game.

PHILADELPHIA Supreme
Court Justice David Souter, momen-
tarily choked with emotion, bid
an affectionate farewell Tuesday to
judges and lawyers he has worked
with for nearly two decades.
Souter spoke at an annual con-
ference of judges and lawyers
from Delaware, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. He handles matters
that come to the Supreme Court
from those states. The 69-year-old
justice announced last Friday that he
would retire when the court finished
its work for the summer and return
to his home in New Hampshire.
Momentarily dropping his New
England reserve, the justice appeared
to choke up as he recalled asking his
predecessor, William Brennan, if he
wanted to send a message to the
same group when Souter was pre-
paring to attend his first conference
in Teaneck, N.J.
Just give them my love, David.
Just give them my love, Souter
remembered. That goes for me,
too.
He received sustained standing
ovations before and after his 15-min-
ute talk, and was introduced by
Chief Judge Anthony J. Scirica of the
Philadelphia-based 3rd U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals as a beloved mem-
ber of the 3rd Circuit family.
Souter said he had not intended
for the news of his retirement to
break before Tuesdays event. I swear
to you I was not the leak, he said.
Still, he said, Its impossible not
to be doing a mental reckoning of
some sort.
He gave a lighthearted account of
the first conference after he joined
the court in 1990, noting that he
apparently was viewed with some
suspicion by the 3rd Circuit. Among
the reading material he was given
when he arrived at that first confer-
ence was a copy of the Constitution.
Souter thanked Scirica for not
including the Constitution for this
visit.
He may have assumed that its too
late now, Souter said.
Souter told the conference that
members of the legal profession
should take satisfaction in doing
something worth doing and trying
to do it well.
He did not permit cameras or
audio recordings at his speech.
In Washington, the White House
said President Barack Obama would
not be announcing his choice to
replace Souter this week.
Presidential spokesman Robert
Gibbs ruled out that timeframe when
asked about published comments
from Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who
spoke to Obama on Monday and
said he expected an announcement
this week.
On Capitol Hill, Sen. Patrick
Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, said he had discussed
possible nominees with Obama but
would not name them. The Vermont
Democrat said he wouldnt schedule
the committees confirmation hear-
ings until a nominee was chosen,
but he said he was certain that a new
justice would be seated for the courts
fall term.
Leahy said he has advised
Obama, Make sure you talk to key
Republicans, not just Democrats,
including the Senates top leaders,
Democrat Harry Reid of Nevada
and Republican Mitch McConnell
of Kentucky.
On Tuesday, Obama made a brief
courtesy call to Sen. Jeff Sessions,
R-Ala., now the top Republican on
the Judiciary Committee. Sessions
spokesman, Stephen Boyd, said the
content of their discussion would not
be released.
Sessions, in a statement after he
became the committees ranking
Republican, said he would ensure a
rigorous and thorough examination
of the nominees qualifications.
Sessions also expressed tradition
Republican themes on court nomi-
nations, saying the nominee must
be a neutral umpire of the law, call-
ing the balls and strikes fairly while
avoiding the temptation to make
policy or legislate from the bench
based on personal political views.
Bush lawyers may face
professional sanctions
naTional
BY DEVLIN BARRETT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Bush
administration lawyers who
approved harsh interrogation tech-
niques of terror suspects should
not face criminal charges, Justice
Department investigators said in a
draft report that recommended two
of the three attorneys face possible
professional sanctions.
The recommendations come
after an Obama administration
decision last month to make public
legal memos authorizing the use of
harsh interrogation methods but
not to prosecute CIA interrogators
who followed advice outlined in
the memos.
That decision angered conserva-
tives who accused President Barack
Obama of selling out the CIA for
releasing the memos, and liber-
als who thought he was being too
forgiving of practices they and
Obama call torture. The presi-
dents rhetoric, if not actual policy,
shifted on the matter as the politi-
cal fallout intensified.
Officials conducting the inter-
nal Justice Department inquiry
into the lawyers who wrote those
memos have recommended refer-
ring two of the three lawyers
John Yoo and Jay Bybee to state
bar associations for possible disci-
plinary action, according to a per-
son familiar with the inquiry. The
person, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, was not authorized to
discuss the inquiry.
The person noted that the inves-
tigative report was still in draft
form and subject to revisions.
Attorney General Eric Holder also
may make his own determination
about what steps to take once the
report has been finalized.
The inquiry has become a
politically loaded guessing game,
with some advocating criminal
charges against the lawyers and
others urging that the matter be
dropped.
In a letter to two senators, the
Justice Department said a key dead-
line in the inquiry expired Monday,
signaling that most of the work on
the matter was completed. The let-
ter does not mention the possibil-
ity of criminal charges, nor does it
name the lawyers under scrutiny.
The letter did not indicate what
the findings of the final report
would be. Bybee, Yoo and Steven
Bradbury worked in the Justice
Departments Office of Legal
Counsel and played key roles in
crafting the legal justification for
techniques critics call torture.
The memos were written as the
Bush administration grappled with
the fear and uncertainty following
the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
Over the years that followed, law-
yers re-examined and rewrote
much of the legal advice.
Last month, the Obama admin-
istration released four of the long-
secret memos about treatment of
terror suspects in which lawyers
authorized methods including
waterboarding, throwing subjects
against a wall and forced nudity.
In releasing the documents,
Obama declared CIA interrogators
who followed the memos would
not be prosecuted. Obama left it
to Holder to decide whether those
who authorized or approved the
methods should face charges.
When that inquiry neared com-
pletion last year, investigators rec-
ommended seeking professional
sanctions against Bybee and Yoo,
but not Bradbury, according to the
person familiar with the matter.
Those would come in the form
of recommendations to state bar
associations, where the most severe
possible punishment is disbarment.

Bill Eastman, director of environ-
mental services for Westar, said he
believes the rating is unfair because
the EPA hasnt been regulating
plants for greenhouse gases. But
on April 17, the EPA announced
that greenhouse gases endanger
public health. The announcement
was considered the agencys first
step toward requiring limitations
on these pollutants.
While some residents voice
their concern about the LECs pol-
lution in the air, others, such as
Laura Calwell, with the Kansas
River advocacy group Friends of
the Kaw, worry about the plants
effects on local waterways. The
Kansas Department of Health and
Environment advises against eating
fish from the Kansas River in areas
around Lawrence because of severe
pollution in the water.
But others dont believe the
plants effects on Lawrence are sig-
nificant.
The emissions that come out
of that plant, very little of it falls in
Douglas County, said Ted Boyle,
president of the North Lawrence
Neighborhood Improvement
Association. Its airborne and goes
50, 60 to 100 miles. It doesnt just
come out of the stack and drop to
the ground. Theres probably less
of it here than there is 100 miles
from here.
Lawrence energy
center emissions
The LEC has been powering
Lawrence homes and businesses
and sending billowing clouds of
smoke into the air from its three tall
stacks since its opening in 1971.
There is no question that any-
one who spends any amount of
time in Douglas County will be
breathing air from the Lawrence
Energy Center, said Karl Brooks,
associate professor of history and
environmental studies.
The LEC emitted more than
8,300 tons of air pollutants in
2007, the latest figures available,
according to KDHE emission
summaries. Will Stone, engineer
with KDHE, said these pollutants,
considered criteria pollutants, are
measured by the EPA because they
are known to pose threats to human
health and the overall health of the
environment.
The LEC is also responsible
for emitting smaller quantities of
toxins such as mercury and lead.
Compared with the 4,600 tons of
nitrogen oxide released by the plant
in 2007, KDHE hazardous air pol-
lution emission summaries showed
that only .09 tons of mercury were
released. However, this accounted
for 100 percent of Lawrence facility
mercury emissions. Mercury expo-
sure can cause neurological dam-
age, emotional changes, muscle
weakness and respiratory failure,
according to the EPA.
Coal-fired plants are responsible
for more than 40 percent of all
human-caused mercury emissions,
according to the EPA.
The LEC emitted .17 tons of
lead in 2007. Stone described the
emissions as low, though KDHE
emissions summaries show that the
LEC was responsible for 100 per-
cent of lead emissions in Lawrence
in 2007. According to the EPA,
areas near utilities such as coal-
fired plants have higher levels of
lead in the air. Brooks said expo-
sure to lead could lead to muscle,
joint and developmental problems
in humans.
coaL effects
in our river
The LEC is situated on the south
bank of the Kansas River, about five
miles north of the
University. Though
eating fish from the
river might not be
something students
need to do to get
by, some residents
rely on fish from
the river as a cheap
source of food.
Calwell, river
keeper for Friends
of the Kaw, said
mercury from the
coal-fired plant
comes into the river
through the air.
A lot of times, mercury in the
air settles down in the land and
water and turns into a form of mer-
cury that little tiny plants eat, and
goes up the food chain and gets
into the fish tissue, Calwell said.
Calwell said that if enough mer-
cury got into a persons system from
eating too much contaminated fish,
it could cause memory, behavioral
and developmental problems.
Don Huggins, senior scientist
with the Kansas Biological Survey,
said he didnt think there were too
many serious threats to the river
and its aquatic life because of the
LEC.
But he does see an issue of envi-
ronmental justice when it comes
to fishing. Huggins said some eth-
nic groups in Lawrence living at
or below the poverty line were
more likely than others to eat fish
from the river because it was cheap.
Calwell said Vietnamese and other
Asian populations in Lawrence
often fish from the river because
fishing is a part of their culture.
I can go buy wild-caught Pacific
salmon, where someone else may
only have the option to catch from
the river below Bowersock Dam,
Huggins said. We have to look
at the needs of our most limited
members of the community.
Bowersock Dam, which is visible
from the bridge over the Kansas
River from Massachusetts Street,
marks an important spot on the
river. The KDHE
recently released a
2009 fish advisory,
which warned resi-
dents about what
fish from the river
were safe to eat. The
advisory recom-
mended that no one
eat bottom-feeding
fish, including cat-
fish and sturgeons,
from below the
Bowersock Dam
downstream to
Eudora because of
health risks involved with mercury
and polychlorinated biphenyls, or
PCBs. PCBs are known carcino-
gens and can cause adverse health
effects similar to those of mercury.
Levels of these contaminants in the
river are considered too high for
safe fish consumption.
coaL effects
in our air
Carol Ramm, registered respira-
tory therapist with the American
Lung Association, said communi-
ties situated near coal-fired power
plants have higher incidences of
respiratory illnesses such as asthma
than communities
without the pollu-
tion associated with
coal-fired plants.
Studies show the
asthma incident rate
in Douglas County
is more than twice
that of the national
average.
According to
the 2006 National
Health Interview
Survey, about 7 per-
cent of adults in the U.S. have
asthma. According to a 2006 to
2007 Kansas Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System, nearly 15 per-
cent of adults in Douglas County
currently have asthma or have had
asthma in their lifetime.
Weiner, who practices at Asthma
Allergy and Rheumatology
Associates, 346 Maine St., said liv-
ing near a coal-fired plant had
more negative effects on children,
the elderly and those who already
have asthma, but negative reper-
cussions were not limited to those
groups. He said he expected the
plant to have negative effects on
lung health for all Lawrence resi-
dents.
But aside from wearing a mask
to filter out stuff in the air, I dont
know what other things people
could do, Weiner said. Its either
that or you could move.
Moving wasnt an option for
Chaz Steele, who grew up in
Lawrence. Steele has dealt with
asthma for most of his life and is
familiar with the tightening feeling
in his chest.
It feels like
someone is taking
their hands and just
squeezing my lungs,
or like theres a two-
ton elephant sitting
on my chest, Steele
said. I just cant get
a breath in.
Steele grew up
not wanting to let asthma get in
his way. He didnt stay indoors to
play, although at times he knew
he should have. Growing up, he
played hard with the other kids and
often paid for it with trips to the
nurses office and asthma attacks
a few times per week. With age,
Steele learned how to handle his
asthma. He is a registered emer-
gency medical technician and said
his training has made him more
aware of the physical processes of
his asthma.
As opposed to letting myself
get to the point where I need the
inhaler, I try to just slow myself
down so I dont have to use it,
Steele said.
Although Steele said its nor-
mal for the severity of asthma to
decline with age, he still uses his
albuterol inhaler every week.
Unlike Steele, some Lawrence
residents see no harm in living
close to the LEC. Boyle, president of
the North Lawrence Improvement
Association for 13 years, said the
coal-fired plant wasnt discussed
much in his association. He said
he didnt think the plant directly
affected people living in neighbor-
hoods around it.
We dont receive a lot of the
emissions from the power plant
because the winds blow from the
south in the summer and north in
the winter, Boyle said. So it just
generally bypasses us.
The American Lung Association
and the EPA have a different view.
Communities settled around coal-
fired plants have higher levels of
asthma and other respiratory ill-
nesses because pollutants linger
in the area. The EPA stated in
its Clear Skies study in 2004 that
asthma-inducing pollutants such
as sulphur oxides and nitrogen
oxides can remain in the air near
coal plants for days or even years
as small solid particles or liquid
droplets.

thoughts on the Lec
Boyle isnt the only one who
isnt fazed by the LECs presence
in Lawrence. Residents involved
in local real estate said the plant
rarely surfaces in conversations
about housing in the area. Doug
Stephens, president of Stephens
Real Estate, said that in his 20 years
with the company, he hadnt heard
many complaints about the LEC.
Its not like its something new,
they know whats there, they know
they can see it, Stephens said.
Dennis Snodgrass, president
of McGrew Real Estate, echoed
Stephens opinions on the area
around the LEC.
Every neighborhood has its
pluses and minus-
es, Snodgrass said.
North Lawrence
has bigger lots and
is a little more rural,
which draws a lot of
people to it. A lot
of people are okay
with having the
plant up north.
Snodgrass com-
pared the LEC with
other things people
sometimes pre-
ferred not to live near, such as train
tracks or power lines.
But after people live there for a
bit, they dont even notice it any-
more, Snodgrass said. I would
see the plant as something similar,
I dont think its going to detract
value.
According to Trulia.com, a real
estate research company, the aver-
age home price in April for homes
in the North Lawrence neighbor-
hoods, those closest to the LEC,
was about $139,000. The average
home prices for other neighbor-
hoods west of North Lawrence
averaged at least $200,000.
But August Dettbarn, appraiser
at the Douglas County Appraisers
Office, said calculating the differ-
ence in Lawrence home values by
neighborhood was a difficult task.
He said neighborhoods commonly
referred to, such as the student
ghetto or Old West Lawrence, are
different from neighborhoods used
to evaluate real estate. Dettbarn
said real estate neighborhoods are
divided into much smaller sec-
tions. Appraisers
estimated that if
home values in the
sections were simi-
lar enough, people
would be willing
to live in any other
home in the neigh-
borhood. He said he
didnt know wheth-
er the LEC had any
effects on the home prices in areas
around the coal-fired plant.
the true cost of coaL
Coal has long been consid-
ered the cheap fuel source for
Americans. Coal provides
more than 75 percent of elec-
tric energy for Kansans, accord-
ing to the Energy Information
Administration at the U.S.
Department of Energy.
But Scott Allegrucci, director of
the Great Plains Alliance for Clean
Energy, or GPACE, said coal only
appears to be a cheap fuel source.
He said the health costs associ-
ated with getting energy from coal
should be considered as well.
The idea that coal is the cheap
fuel source of the future is bogus,
Allegrucci said.
The EPA and the Kansas
Corporation Commission figure
that an additional $20 dollars in

health and environmental costs
per megawatt-hour arise from
coal-fired plants. A megawatt-
hour is a term used to explain
how many millions of watts can be
produced in an hour. Allegrucci
said officials ought to take that
into account in deciding whether
to license any new plants in the
state.
Just when looking at the two
coal plants proposed for Holcomb,
youd be talking about something
along the lines of $5 billion annu-
ally in costs of health care-relat-
ed issues that come from burn-
ing coal, Allegrucci said. That
doesnt show up in the utilities
bottom line. They dont pay those
health costs we do. We have
to look at all the costs that were
actually paying.
Allegrucci said health effects
mostly included respiratory and
heart disease, and environmental
costs come from contamination
and cleanup of water and the sur-
rounding environment.
If you have water you cant
use for human consumption or if
something makes the fish ined-
ible, its the loss of the use of the
resource, Allegrucci said.
Though $5 bil-
lion in additional
costs of a coal plant
seems overwhelming,
Allegrucci said it was
a low-end estimate.
A similar study in
Ontario, Canada, in
2004 estimated health
and environmen-
tal costs to be $127
per megawatt hour,
more than six times
the amount figured
by the EPA estimate.
Despite Allegruccis desire for less
coal and more renewable forms of
energy, he said he understood that
the coal-fired plants didnt deserve
all the blame.
The providers of electrical
energy are just doing what theyve
been asked to do, Allegrucci said.
We havent asked them to account
for those other costs, but I think
were moving in that direction.
What is the LeC
doing to CLean up?
Bill Eastman is responsible for
the environmental regulations and
requirements for Westar.
He said two of the three stack
units of the LEC were equipped
with scrubbers that removed regu-
lated pollutants such as sulphur
oxides.
Scrubbers, Eastman said, scrub
the gas that rises through the
stacks.
A chemical reaction in the
stacks turns sulphur into calci-
um sulphate, a solid that can be
removed.
This chemical solidification of
the pollutants doesnt mean the
pollutants go away. The solids are
then added to water and perma-
nently stored in an on-site land-
fill.
Unit No. 5, the tallest of the
three stacks, has what is called a
low NOx, or nitrogen oxide, burn-
er, which keeps the nitrogen oxides
from forming when coal is being
burned.
In addition to these emission-
controlling efforts, Eastman said
the LEC would spend more than
$300 million by
2013 to further
reduce emis-
sions by making
more upgrades.
Eastman said the
LEC has been
on a downward
trend in its emis-
sions for years,
and more plans
are in the works
to ensure it only
gets cleaner with
time.
Were all on
this earth together, and weve got
to work together to figure out
a path forward, Eastman said.
With the technology now, weve
got to figure out how to move
forward with out current mix until
our technology changes. Were
heavily reliant on coal. Weve got
to have a fuel, and were obliged to
provide it.
Whats next?
After the April 17 EPA finding
that greenhouse gases could prove
dangerous to public
health, Eastman said
meeting new emission
regulations might be
in the near future for
the LEC.
Any new regula-
tory process would
impact the company,
and thats just part
of it, Eastman said.
Were trying to get
ourselves geared up
for that.
Cathy Milbourn, spokeswom-
an for the EPA, said the April 17
endangerment finding came after
two years of scientific research
ordered by the
U.S. Supreme
Court. In 2007,
Ma s s a c hus e t t s
sued the EPA for
violating section
202 A of the Clean
Air Act.
Section 202
A states that the
EPA administrator
should set limits
on motor vehicle
emissions, which included green-
house gases, that are considered an
endangerment to public health and
welfare. The Supreme Court found
that greenhouse gases should be
covered by the Clean Air Act, so
the EPA had to determine whether
greenhouse gases really did pose a
threat to public health, which the
endangerment finding showed was
the case.
Milbourn said the finding was
the first step in getting greenhouse
gases, which have never before had
emission limitations, regulated sim-
ilarly to other pollutants.
Newer regulations would require
the LEC to make improvements, but
some say its been doing a good job
already. Calwell, from Friends of the
Kaw, said she thought the river had
gotten considerably cleaner in the
past five to 10 years, in part because
of upgrades made at the LEC.
New EPA regulations would be
sure to paint a prettier picture for all
the friends of the Kaw.
Huggins, with the Kansas
Biological Survey, said the real prob-
lem at hand was the coal industry as
a whole, not just the LEC.
Until we find an alternative,
thats just the price we pay for cheap
energy, Huggins said. No one
wants to hear about giving some-
thing up.

In one year, the Lawrence
Energy Center emits the following
amounts of pollutants:
4,600 tons of NOx, nitrogen
oxide. 440 tons of PM, particulate
matter. 2,500 tons of SOx (sulphur
oxide). 550 tons of CO (Carbon
monoxide). 66 tons of VOC
(Volatile organic compounds.)
Will Stone with KDHE said each
of these monitored pollutants
are considered criteria pollutants,
which the EPA regulates and

According to the American
Lung Association, 65 percent
of electric utility plants were
built before enactment of the
Clean Air Act Amendments of
1977. Some of the older power
plants emit harmful pollutants
at four to 10 times the rate
allowable for new plants built
today. Newer plants are held to
stricter standards, but thats not
the case with coal-fred plants
such as the Lawrence Energy
Center, which was built in 1971.
Older plants are grandfathered,
meaning they are held only to
the standards that were in place
when they were built.

What Can CoaL-pLant poLLutants do to You?
Mercury: Can lead to tremors,
mood swings, nervousness,
insomnia, muscle weakness,
headaches, twitching and lower
cognitive function.
Lead: Can prevent normal
functioning of the nervous
system, kidneys and blood cells.
In children it can slow mental
development, shorten attention
spans and cause behavioral
problems.
pCBs (polychlorinated
Biphenyl): Have been shown
to cause cancer, as well as
adversely affect the nervous,
immune and reproductive
systems.
sulphur oxides: Can cause

in sensitive groups such as
children, the elderly and people
with heart or lung disease.
nitrogen oxides: Can
damage lung tissue and
worsen asthma, especially
in susceptible people such

Nitrogen and sulphur oxides
also contribute to acid rain,
which causes water bodies to

LOS ANGELES With an ever-
present smile that gave way to ready
laughter, Dom DeLuise possessed a
jovial warmth that charmed not
only film and TV audiences, but
the actors and directors with whom
he worked for decades. Though
lighthearted onscreen, the pro-
lific actor was deeply passionate
about food, forging a second career
as a popular chef and cookbook
author.
The affable and portly star,
described as a natural comedian
who kept the laughs rolling even
when the cameras werent, died
Monday at age 75.
You cant teach someone to be
funny, his agent, Robert Malcolm,
said Tuesday. He was born funny,
and he knew how to charm you
and he knew how to make you feel
comfortable. He loved people.
DeLuise was surrounded by his
wife and three sons when died
peacefully Monday evening at
St. Johns Health Center in Santa
Monica, Calif., Malcolm said.
DeLuise appeared in scores
of movies and TV shows, in
Broadway plays and voicing char-
acters for numerous cartoons.
Writer-director-actor Mel Brooks
particularly admired DeLuises
talent for offbeat comedy and
cast him in several films, includ-
ing Blazing Saddles and Robin
Hood: Men in Tights.
In part because of his pas-
sion for food, the actor battled
obesity, reaching as much as 325
pounds and for years resisting
family members and doctors
who tried to put him on vari-
ous diets.
He finally agreed in 1993 when
his doctor refused to perform
hip replacement surgery until he
lost 100 pounds (he lost enough
weight for the surgery, though
gained some of it back).
On the positive side, his love
of food resulted in two successful
cookbooks.

W
hen the air is safe to

to get out and take in
a few concerts. Finances permit-

concerts.
With this in mind Ive created a
bucket list, so to speak, of several
musical acts that I have not yet
seen and wish to before I expire.
The list is long, but if I were a print
columnist with limited space (hey!)
this is how the top would read:
The Hives: I blindly submitted
to the Hives jurisdiction around
the time Veni Vidi Vicious hit the
States in 2001. A concert of theirs
on MTV2 affirmed that, and every-
thing that followed cemented those
sentiments. Howlin Pelle Almquist
is among todays finest frontmen,
with elements of Mick Jagger and
Iggy Pop in his repertoire. You may
have heard Hate to Say I Told You
So but you owe yourself so much
more. Refer to the limitless concert
footage of the raw energy of their
shows on YouTube or the DVD,
Tussles in Brussels.
The Arctic Monkeys: Do you
grow tired and agitated whenever
someone yammers on about how
great the Beatles are? Yes, their
contribution to rock music is
substantial but the passage of four
decades brings with it room for
other great acts to emerge. Heres
your chance to catch one of them
theyre even from the U.K. In
fact, their debut album, released
in 2006 with the group barely 20
years old apiece, became the fast-
est selling British album in history.
This one may linger on the list for

though that may change in the next
year or so if a new album appears
as planned.

Calle 13: Daddy Yankee has
had the market in on the Latin
American genre reggaeton, at least
in the United States. This group,
however, matches him in qual-
ity and surpasses in originality.
Whereas much of the genre sounds
alike meaning you could paste
together a reggaeton track within
five minutes on your computer
this duo adds a variety of infectious
beats and inventive lyrics to the
point where their sound is more
hip-hop. And while youll need a
few semesters of Spanish under
your belt to decipher the wordplay,
youll eventually conclude that
vocalist Residente produces work
that blends social and political

KU students fnding more ways
to be environmentally friendly
The coolest judge on the Court
I
t has been encouraging to see
an increasing number of KU
students come together to pro-
mote awareness of environmental
issues and participate in sustain-
ability programs.
Joining the movement to go
green is possible through a variety
of groups and students should be
familiar with the list of environ-
mental organizations on campus.
On its Web site, the KU Center for
Sustainability provides a list of the
environmental groups open to stu-
dents as well as information about
sustainability on campus, climate
change, energy conservation and
recycling.
The Universitys environmental
efforts this semester have been
gaining momentum. Many events
held on campus have prompted
involvement from students and
staff.
Tyler Enders, Leawood sopho-
more, served as the coordinator
and networker for the movement
From Blue to Green:
Conserve KU. Enders
said he wanted the
average KU student to
be overwhelmed by a
student-led, University-
wide environmental
movement.
For the spring, we decided to
host as many environmental events
as possible to raise awareness, to
educate people and then to create
action, Enders said. We wanted
students to realize that the entire
University was collaborating on
a movement to make KU more
sustainable both on the individual
level and on the University level.
From Blue to Green: Conserve
KU was a campaign that included
every environmental group on
campus, to develop a more envi-
ronmentally stable and sustainable
KU community with the hope to
obtain assistance in a contagious
movement that would stimulate
change. This campaign included 26
events in two weeks.
Among the many student orga-
nizations involved in From Blue
to Green: Conserve KU was KU
Environs, which advocates aware-
ness of environmental problems
and issues.
Ryan Callihan, Lenexa senior
and vice president of Environs, has
been involved with Environs for
two years and has also collaborated
with the Student Environmental
Advisory Board, Eco-Justice
and Alternative Energy Society.
Callihan said some of the most sig-
nificant issues Environs had been
working on were maintaining stu-
dent consciousness about the envi-
ronmental impact of eating locally
and staying involved
with several campus
sustainability concerns
as well as local and
regional issues.
Joining a student
organization, in my
opinion, is the most powerful thing
you can do to effect change on
campus, Callihan said. Recently,
so many avenues for involvement
in sustainability have opened up,
which are accessible to the average
interested student. There is a group
for green-minded engineers, green-
minded builders, gardeners, people
interested in environmental justice
issues and a couple for alternative
energy, just to name a few.
Enders said the easiest way to
support sustainability without
making a large time commitment
is attending the various events
around campus sponsored by envi-
ronmental student groups.
The speakers this semester
were extremely knowledgeable and
entertaining, Enders said. There
will definitely be more next semes-
ter, both sponsored through From
Blue to Green and through other
University groups and depart-
ments.
Students in general should be
mindful of their environmental
impact and make an effort to mod-
ify their daily routine.
Sustainable living does not
mean going out and buying all of
the green products you can find,
Callihan said. It requires a tweak-
ing of your living and consumptive
habits. This would include things
like riding your bike whenever
possible, using only the amount of
lighting you need to see and know-
ing the products and food you buy
and where they came from.

here is a wave of excit-
ing new faces washing
over Washington, D.C.
Kathleen Sebelius has officially
assumed the mantle of Secretary
of Health and Human Services,
where she can resume her old
practice of sticking it to big
insurance, put on hold for six
years while she was governor of
Kansas. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.)
has emerged from his cocoon
and become Sen. Arlen Specter
(D-Pa.); and Im pretty sure that,
before July, the Nationals are
going to call up this pitcher I went
to high school with whom they
drafted last year sometime before
July.
But the most exciting is a
position that has yet to be filled.
After 18 years on the Supreme
Court, Justice David Souter has
announced his retirement. As he
is presumably not pulling a Brett
Favre and simply doing this to
get a new contract (and probably
doesnt want to play for the Jets),
President Obama must now find a
replacement for Justice Souter.
And that is where I come in.
Obama has stated that hed
like Souters successor to have
a sharp, independent mind
and a record of excellence and
integrity. Though I have none
of those qualities, I would still
make an excellent Justice. I spent
a summer interning for the
Kansas Supreme Court, where I
was constantly in a room down
the hall from important judicial
deliberations, so clearly I wouldnt
be going in cold.
Im also completely partial on
several important issues, easily
bribed (seriously, you could just
bake me cookies), and unfamiliar
with most landmark decisions
that do not have a museum dedi-
cated to them.
But Ben, you may ask,
doesnt that mean you are totally
unqualified? Pish posh, I say.
Supreme Court justices are always
held to certain standards, and
really, what fun have they been?
When was the last time Ruth
Bader Ginsburg leaked an impor-
tant decision over Twitter, or
Stephen Breyer guest-judged on
Iron Chef America?
As a member of the Supreme
Court, I promise that I would
bring a new style to the interpre-
tation of the law. My first priority
when reviewing precedent would
be to find out what sort of mood
previous justices were in. Did
somebody cut them off in traffic
that day? Had they just bet on
the wrong team in the ALCS?
Mindset should always be a factor.
Also, I would immediately force
the return of powdered wigs. I
think most of my esteemed col-
leagues would support this mea-
sure, except maybe that pretty boy
of a Chief Justice, John Roberts.
I guess my point is that I would
bring a fresh new perspective to
the Supreme Court. It may not
meet traditional standards of
professionalism or thoughtful-
ness, but it would be entertaining.
Obama, Because I assume youre
reading this, take note: Justice
Cohen equals a better Supreme
Court.

his semester 20 students
became experts of Kansas
City: its jazz, its history
and its barbeque. These students
took part in a seminar called
Kansas City: A Biography of a
City taught by Jonathan Earle,
associate professor of history.
When deciding upon a way to
end the class, we were left with
no choice but to have a barbeque
competition. Our classmates
day-tripped to the locations of
our three taste-test contestants:
Oklahoma Joes, Gates and
Arthur Bryants. The former are
well-established, historic KC orig-
inals. Oklahoma Joes is located in
a gas station, although its success
has led to a restaurant in Olathe
(which is not legit). These three
were chosen after hours of tears,
fists and arguments regarding
personal devotions that could
very easily have ended up with
someone buried under several
tons of concrete in the riverbed
next to the Plaza, compliments of
Tom Pendergast.
Our method was objective.
The mouth-watering selections
were secretly labeled one through
three. Our judging involved four
categories; sauce, ribs, side dish
and Pit Boss choice item, where
we allowed them to put forth
their best.
Our ranking system ranged
from one, completely inedible,
to ten, culinary nirvana. The
only flaw to our perfect system
was revealed when one of the
day-trippers ran in holding a
forgotten container of beans from
Gates, the BBQ baked beans
that made all other baked beans
trivial. This additional dish added
to the miniscule number of edible
items for our resident vegetarian;
and there was much rejoicing.
Surprisingly, the lowest rank-
ings were from establishment
three, Arthur Bryants. One
respondent (our ballots were
secret, too) said Everything was
very bitter. I felt like my tongue
was being attacked by very angry
BBQ mercenaries, and another
drew a zombie PacMan painfully
losing his lunch. Surprisingly,
the unsung hero, Oklahoma
Joes, most nearly achieved the
epitome of barbeque excellence.
One person wrote Swine flu be
damned. This is the barbeque for
me. It won the hearts of our class
with its irresistible sauce, helping
it to beat out the heavily touted
Arthur Bryants for first place
in the 2009 University Scholars
Tastery.

khardy@kansan.com
Beetle juice has a new meaning
for one KU researcher.
Caroline Chaboo, professor of
ecology and evolutionary biology,
is researching the chemicals and
toxins within Chrysomelidae, a
genus of small African leaf bee-
tles.
The toxins are so powerful that
members of San Bushmen, a tribe
in southern Africa, mash up the
bugs larvae to put on the tips of
arrows. The poison on the arrows
is strong enough to kill animals as
large as giraffes.
Chaboo will present the lecture
Biology, Evolution and Defensive
Behaviors in Leaf Beetles: From
the Unusual to the Weird at 7
p.m.
Its the last installment of the
Natural History Museums Wild
Science lecture series this year.
Chaboo said the beetles came
in different color variations red
and yellow, black and yellow, and
red.
If you think about a fire truck
thats red, the red is kind of an alert
color, Chaboo said. It tells you
something about the animal before
youve even touched it or tried to
eat it.
The chemicals inside the beetles
cause the predator to vomit or die
after eating them, which serves as
the only defense mechanism for the
centimeter-long beetles.
In addition to studying the
beetles, Chaboo is examining the
plants the beetles eat to determine
whether the toxins come from the
beetles themselves or from their
food source.
Chaboos work also examines the
culture of the San tribe.
She visited Africa four times
in the past four years, conducting
research in South Africa, Botswana
and Namibia.
She said the cultural study of
the San tribe was just as important
as the biological study. Because
they have lost much of their native
land, Chaboo said, it was even
more urgent to study the San peo-
ple.
Essentially, what is going on
with the San people is going on
with indigenous people throughout
the world they are being mar-
ginalized, Chaboo said.
She said the San tribe was a
primitive tribe that still used tongue
clicking as its language.
They are considered the first
branch of modern human, Chaboo
said.
The San people still use bow
and arrows for hunting, and they
mash up the beetle juice into a
thick, gluey paste and put it on
each arrowhead. After hitting an
animal, the tribesmen track the
animals footprints, because it can
take several days for the poison to
kill large animals.
Leonard Krishtalka, director
of the Biodiversity Institute, said
the San people were careful when
collecting larvae, taking only one
beetle at a time and leaving the
underground nest intact. He said
Chaboos work went beyond tradi-
tional biology to include the study
of the surrounding culture.
In many ways, her work dem-
onstrates how much we need to be
aware of cultural adaptations and
how much cultural systems and
natural systems affect each other,
Krishtalka said.
Andrew Short, adjunct assistant
professor of ecology and evolu-
tionary biology, said studying the
human uses of the beetles could
lead to a better understanding of
biological sciences and the San
people.
Some of the beetles Dr.
Chaboo studies have profound,
ancient cultural significance,
which adds a layer to her research
program that is much less com-
monly encountered in our field,
Short said.
Chaboo said she was assembling
a team of collaborators in chem-
istry, anthropology and botany to
further her research on the African
beetles.

BUNKER HILL, W.Va.
Special education teacher Lynn
Reichard has a problem with the
federal No Child Left Behind law:
Some of her kids cannot read,
never mind pass its required state
test.
Reichard told Education
Secretary Arne Duncan on Tuesday
that she works all year long to
boost the self-esteem of mentally
impaired students at Bunker Hill
Elementary, only to see them fall
apart over standardized tests.
They feel so good about them-
selves, and then they look at a two-
paragraph reading passage, and
they know six words, Reichard
said. I have one child here thats a
nonreader, and shes going to have
to take the test, and shes going
to cry.
Theres just got to be another
answer for that, Reichard said.
Reichard was among a dozen
teachers and parents who met with
Duncan as the Obama administra-
tion considers changing the con-
troversial law championed by for-
mer President George W. Bush.
No Child Left Behind pushes
schools to boost the performance
of low-achieving students, and
Duncan gives the law credit for
shining a spotlight on kids who
need the most help. Opponents,
however, insist that the laws annu-
al reading and math tests have
squeezed subjects like music and
art out of the classroom and that
schools were promised billions of
dollars they never received.
Duncan wants to hear how the
program works from educators,
parents and kids, and he began
a 15-state listening tour at
Reichards school in the eastern
panhandle of rural West Virginia.
President Barack Obama has been
vague about much he would over-
haul the law, but on Tuesday, his
ideas began to take shape.
The teacher was right, Duncan
said later.
While the law does make allow-
ances for different tests for severe-
ly impaired kids, many dont fall
into that category.
To have a child taking a test that
it is literally impossible for them to
pass and having that humiliation,
and holding schools accountable
for that, that doesnt make sense,
Duncan said in an interview with
the Associated Press.
Duncan used Reichards tale as
an example of how the federal gov-
ernment should be looser about
how states meet goals. He fought
the government on similar issues
in his last job, as chief executive of
Chicagos public schools.
At the same time, he said, the
government should get tighter
about goals, insisting on more rig-
orous academic standards that are
uniform across the states.
What I mean by loose is not
getting away from accountabil-
ity at all, he told the AP. What I
mean by loose is giving folks more
flexibility in how they achieve
their goals.
Duncan made time to visit with
kids, reading the book, Doggie
Dreams to first-graders at Bunker
Hill and having lunch with fourth-
graders at Eagle Intermediate
School in Martinsburg, where he
ate a cheesesteak sandwich and
onion rings but finished only half
his vegetables.
Whos the president now?
Duncan asked the first-graders,
one of whom correctly identified
Obama.
Duncan said little about the law
Tuesday, preferring to listen to
the concerns of teachers in more
intimate sessions at elementary
schools and a larger forum at
Blue Ridge Community College in
Martinsburg.
Both schools are high-perform-
ing and rely heavily on sophisti-
cated data systems to explain not
only what kids dont know, but
why they dont know it, some-
thing Duncan wants to see more.
Federal dollars in the economic
stimulus law can be used for those
kinds of systems.
Duncan said he wont hesitate to
visit struggling schools, too.
Whatever the administration
decides to do, it needs the approv-
al of Congress, which passed the
law with broad bipartisan support
in 2001 but deadlocked over a
rewrite in 2007. Lawmakers plan
to try again in the fall.
While the law has helped
improve the academic perfor-
mance of many minority kids,
English-language learners and
kids with disabilities, critics say
the law is too punitive: More than
a third of schools failed to meet
yearly progress goals last year,
according to the Education Week
newspaper.
That means millions of chil-
dren are a long way from reaching
the laws ambitious goals. The law
pushes schools to improve test
scores each year, so that every
student can read and do math on
grade level by the year 2014.

n a coffee shop downtown,
there sits a beleaguered student.
His right hand loosely grips
what was once an iced mocha.
Several hours have passed since he
ordered it, and now the drink more
closely resembles dirty water than
an espresso-infused treat.
The students left hand dances
across the keyboard and grazes
the finger pad of an Apple laptop,
popping up tab after tab of infor-
mation detailing the lives and ideas
of long-dead white men the
subject of an epic research paper
that demands completion by the
next day.
To his left, there sits a figure with
a similar disposition. The table in
front of him displays a haphazard
collage of notes, books and sticky
notes. An arsenal of highlighters
sits available at his right hand, next
to a three-times filled and emp-
tied mug, stained with its former
dark roasted contents. His earbuds
betray faint whispers of indie rock;
his head nods a tacit confirmation
that yes, the studying will continue.
Spending any length of time
pondering which NBA team might
have a starting point guard open-

seems to be an unequivocal waste
of time with so much work to

seems equally foolish, as does

A hundred and sixty-three
miles south on Interstate 35,
Wichita State is waiting for re-
venge.
Two months ago, the Jayhawks
did something they normally dont
do against the Shockers: shut them
out.
Not only was it a shutout, but
Kansas also put quite a few runs
on the scoreboard. Te 8-0 drub-
bing of Wichita State was an early
highlight of the season and a turn-
ing point for Kansas.
But dont expect the Shockers
to be pleased with the Jayhawks
when they match up again today
at 7 p.m. in Wichita.
Itll be a huge rivalry game for
them afer we spanked them so

it everything they got to try to

Kansas will try to continue its
success afer winning two out of
three against then-No. 9 Okla-
homa last weekend. Price plans to
start freshman right-hander Lee
Ridenhour, normally a weekend
starter, because he didnt pitch past
the frst inning in Sundays game
against Oklahoma.
Ridenhours last midweek start

Kansas sofball coach Tracy Bunge
has seen her fair share of graduating
seniors during her 13 years at the
helm. She hasnt seen too many like
this years group, however.
Tis group is defnitely a spe-
cial one, Bunge said. All fve have
made major contributions to this
program in one way or another
during their time here. Tird base-
man Val Chapple, lef felder Stevie
Crisosto, pitcher Valerie George,
center felder Dougie McCaulley,
and catcher Elle Pottorf will likely
play their last games in Jayhawk
uniforms this weekend at the Big
12 tournament.
Tey all have done so many
things they can and should be
proud of, Bunge said. During
their time here theyve been great
representatives of this University.
As their time in crimson and
blue nears its end, all fve took a
moment to refect on their experi-
ences as a Jayhawk.
Val chapple
Perhaps the ultimate embodi-
ment of a student athlete, Val
Chapple excelled both on and of
the feld during her tenure at the
University. Chapple, an Overland
Park native, has been a rock for
Kansas at third base starting
all but one game in her career.
Chapple also fondly recalled win-
ning the Big 12 Championship her
freshman year.
For all her achievements on the
feld, Chapple has just as many in
the classroom. Recognized as an
academic All-American and All-
Big 12 numerous times, Chapple
boasts a cumulative 4.0 GPA.
Being a student-athlete has re-
ally helped my time management,
she said. Te athletics department
has a great support staf in place,
and theyve really helped me de-
velop those skills.
Chapple may
be modest, but
the University has
taken notice of her
dedication in the
classroom. Chapple
was selected by the
School of Education
to be a student ban-
ner carrier for this
years commencement ceremony.
Im so honored to be nominat-
ed to carry the banner at gradua-
tion, she said. Its a very fattering
honor.
steVie crisosto
Afer coming to Lawrence from
northern California, Stevie Crisos-
to adjusted well to life in the Mid-
west.
Having never
been to Kansas be-
fore, it was diferent
at frst, she said,
but I was pleasantly
surprised.
Still, it wasnt all
easy.
Getting used
to the weather
was something else though, she
joked.
Crisosto, a Palo Cedro native,
has had to make adjustments on
the feld as well, as she moved all
over the feld during her career
playing everywhere from frst base
to the outfeld.
Still, she has been productive,
with her best season coming in
2007, when she started 60 games at
shortstop while hitting .302.
Tough she has experienced
some struggles in her junior and
senior seasons, Crisosto has always
held her head high.
Tere were lots of highs and
lows, she said.
But its that experience that has
prepared me for anything and ev-
erything. Te struggles only make
doing well more rewarding in the
long run.

NBA PLAYOFFS NOT
QUITE AS GOOD AS
THEY SEEM
For the past week and a half all
that NBA fans have talked about is
Bulls-Celtics, the series that kept
every last one of us on the edge of
our seats and left us shaking our
heads the next day.
But for all the overtime drama,
general animosity and star power
bouncing back and forth between
Boston and Chicago, there wasnt
much else to go around in the first
round.
None of the Western
Conference series were ever really
in doubt. Atlanta and Miami went
to seven games, but only the
diehards really seemed to care.
Dwight Howard was suspended
for a game, but Orlando still blew
out Philadelphia.
King James and Kobe?
Unchallenged. Dallas over San
Antonio? Those old legs had to
falter sometime. Even Houston
finally making it out of the first
round was no big deal.
So even though Bulls-Celtics
may have been one of the most
entertaining playoff series of all
time the NBA still has a ways to
go to make this postseason truly
special.

would snap Ridenhour back
into form afer he had a rough
week.
Ill run him out there
Wednesday night give him
a chance to redeem himself,
Price said.
Sophomore third baseman
Tony Tompson isnt worried
about Ridenhours performance.
Tompson said Ridenhour had
worked wonders all season.
Hes been great for us. We
have the utmost confdence
in him, Tompson said. Hes
going to have good starts, and
everyone has bad starts, so you
cant be too disappointed with
him.
Ridenhour has been able to
work most of this season using
primarily two pitches: his fast-
ball and his slider.
He has been working on
perfecting his changeup, but
against Oklahoma the chan-
geup wasnt working and the
Sooners lineup, which is
stacked with lef-handers, took
advantage.
Its still part of his devel-
opment, Price said. Until he
develops that changeup he still
doesnt have a pitch to attack
lef-handed hitters with.
Ridenhour will have to per-
form well in front of about 7,000
fans for Kansas to have a chance
to win tonight.
Teyll want to beat us pret-
ty good, but we need to go in
there and its going to be a great
game, Tompson said. Its go-
ing to be a tough place to play
we need to fnd a way to pull
it out.
Te nonconference game
will be huge for Kansas NCAA
tournament resume.
Itll be a hostile environment.
Tere will be over 7,000 people
there, rooting for Wichita State,
Price said. We just have to con-
tinue to play like weve played
these last two weeks.
Edited by Jesse Trimble

The pitching wasnt as sharp
against Oklahoma as its been all
season, but two of the starters
did enough to
keep Kansas
in the game to
win. The other
starter was
freshman Lee
Ridenhour, who
didnt even
make it past
the frst inning
before being pulled. Ridenhour
has the opportunity to bounce
back tonight against a team he
dominated in March.

Just when it looked as though

the bottom of the order was ready
to contribute, the No. 6 through
9 hitters went
a combined
1-for-16 during
Sundays loss.
But the ofense
still hasnt had
trouble scoring
runs, averag-
ing 7.7 runs
per game in
the Oklahoma series, more than
enough considering the quality
of Kansas pitching. Sophomore
outfelder Casey Lytle has been
struggling since becoming the No.
6 hitter, perhaps contributing to
sophomore Tony Thompsons mini
slump. Lytle needs to become more
consistent to allow Thompson to
see more pitches.

Kansas just had its best road

series of the season, taking two
of three from Oklahoma last
weekend. Kansas has reached its
highest ranking in the polls all
season, climbing to No. 23. The
quality of the Big 12, kept Kansas
from moving anywhere in the
conference standings, though.
This isnt a Big 12 game, but the
atmosphere will certainly feel
like it.
Josh Bowe
The Shockers bats went dead
last time they played the Jay-
hawks. They mustered only three
hits in Lee
Ridenhours
eight innings
of work, and
senior Paul
Smyth threw a
perfect ninth.
Only fve run-
ners reached
base. Dont
expect that to happen again,
as the Shockers have been held
scoreless only once since then.
First baseman Clinton McKeever
is the biggest threat, with a .351
average and fve homers.

Wichita State will throw Brian

Flynn, a 6-foot-8 lefty who played
his high school
ball with
Kansas James
Stanfeld. Flynn
started against
the Jayhawks
in their frst
meeting and
threw three
perfect innings
before surrendering two runs on
only one out in the fourth and
picking up the loss. Flynn is 1-4
with a hefty 5.93 ERA.

The Shockers desperately want

this one. Not only are they trying
to avoid a series sweep by their
in-state rival, but they want to
prove KU freshman Lee Riden-
hour wrong. Ridenhour, who
chose to attend Kansas instead
of Wichita State, said he made
his choice because Wichita State
was a program on the decline. It
added insult to serious injury, as
he made the comments just after
shutting out the Shockers 8-0.

BY KELLY BRECKUNITCH
kbreckunitch@kansan.com
Wichita has former NFL
running back Barry Sanders.
Halstead has former college bas-
ketball coach Adolph Rupp. Even
small town Sedgwick has Brian
Moorman, one of the top punters
in the NFL.
Lawrence has no star player it
can claim as a native product. Yes,
Lawrence takes pride in the stars
KU turns out, but the city has no
one it can truly claim as its own. If
Kevin Hooper, a Lawrence native
who played baseball for Wichita
State from 1996 to 1999, has any-
thing to say about it, though, he
will change that.
Hooper rotated between sec-
ond base and shortstop through
his baseball career. One knock
on him throughout his career
has been his size. He stands only
5-foot-10. His Lawrence High
School baseball coach, Lynn
Harrod, realized Hooper had the
skill set to be a good player, but
Hoopers size made him cautious.
Harrod said that back then, fresh-
men and sophomores were not
allowed on the varsity team.
Hoopers first opportunity to
prove himself came in his junior
year in high school. Harrod still
wasnt sold on Hoopers strength
and was wrestling with the idea
of using him as a leadoff hit-
ter. Harrod placed Hooper at the
bottom of the order instead and
Hooper instantly began to prove
his worth.
He proceeded to go 6-for-8
in a doubleheader and drove in
about eight runs with a couple
triples and a couple doubles,
Harrod said. That pretty much
showed us what he could do.
Harrod said Hooper proved
during the next two years at
Lawrence that he had the abil-
ity to play Division-I baseball.
The choice came down to Kansas
or Wichita State. Harrod said
Wichita State had about six mid-
dle infielder recruits at the time,
as well as the same questions
about Hoopers size and ability.
Harrod passed on this advice on
Hooper to Wichita States hitting
instructor, Jim Thomas: Youre
going to find every way that he
cant play for you, but hell prove
you wrong.
Hooper earned a starting spot
about a month into his freshman
season.
It hurt Hooper not to go to KU.
He said that he would have liked
to stay in Lawrence but that the
situation at Wichita State worked
out better for him.
I just couldnt pass up the
opportunity because I knew
I wanted to play in the major
leagues, Hooper said. Since I was
as young as I can even remember
thats what my dream was and I
thought the best opportunity for
me for that was to go to Wichita
State.
Hooper said he loved playing
at Wichita State and making the
College World Series his fresh-
man year. Hooper also was named
an All-American in 1996.
He spent last year playing
shortstop for the Wichita Winguts
in the American Association, an
independent baseball league.
He was named manager of the
Wingnuts last November.
Hooper spent most of his time
in professional baseball in the
minor leagues but said he didnt
regret a minute of it he was
happy just to get the opportunity.
Ive overcome a lot of odds
and obstacles to reach the peak of
my profession, Hooper said.
He even ended up getting a hit
with the Detroit Tigers in 2005.
All that hard work ended up
paying off, Hooper said.
Though his size has always
seemed to throw people off,
Hoopers character has never
been in question. In fact, thats
what sticks out to Steve Schuster,
Wingnuts director of broadcast-
ing.
He defines the word profes-
sionalism, Schuster said.
Schuster said Hoopers charac-
ter was what would help him be a
good manager, because it rubs off
on people.
He plays hard. He works hard.
He sets an example for everyone,
Schuster said, adding that Hooper
would transition well because,
in his opinion, shortstops make
some of the best managers.
Hooper knows how tough it
is to make it the majors from his
time as a player, but he is will-
ing to challenge himself again to
make it as a manager in the Major
League.
You think its hard to get there
as a player its even harder to
do it as a manager, Hooper said.
Youve got 30-what-odd teams
and theres 25 guys on a roster,
but theres only one manager for
each team.
He is willing to work his way
up again and is confident he can
fulfill another dream.
Its an elite group, but Im going
to give it all that Ive got, just as I
did playing, Hooper said.
All through his career Hooper
has never forgotten his roots and
recognizes Lawrence as a big part
of his life.
Its a place that will always be
in my heart and Ill never for-
get the experiences I had there,
Hooper said.
Hooper just may become
Lawrences native star.

trivial concerns, and that they
shouldnt receive any attention
especially not in early May. Theyre
correct about the nature of these
matters, but their conclusion is
backward.
Now, more than ever, the power
of sports to distract is a saving
grace.
Up until recently, Jayhawk fans
could temporarily ignore their
real-life drama instead immers-
ing themselves in the will they or
wont they Henry brothers saga.
When the tale reached its happy
ending, fears of footnotes could be
replaced by fantasies of basketball
greatness.
While Kansas basketballs future
looks bright, two members of its
past played starring roles in the
near-perfect basketball drama that
was Bulls-Celtics. Kirk Hinrich,
relegated to the bench in favor of
rookie Derrick Rose, provided a
starters minutes and production
not to mention the tenacity it
takes for an undersized and under-
talented underdog to nearly upset
the defending champs. Opposite
Hinrich, reigning NBA Finals MVP
Paul Pierce teamed with Ray Allen
to kill off Chicagos playoff dreams.
The series was basketball stranger
than fiction, and a welcome respite
from less-Hollywood realities.
In sports, even real concerns are
displaced or at least accented
by hope. Fears that Kansas defense
may be lacerated by Big 12 spread
attacks exist but are dismissed by
envisioning consistent 40-point
outbursts orchestrated by Todd
Reesing.
Still, stresses sometimes mount
to the point when quitting seems
an attractive option. For those who
feel that way, know that pitching
prodigy turned virtuoso and Sports
Illustrated cover boy Zack Greinke
had similar feelings about baseball
not so long ago.
All of this is to say that, although
May brings a feeling of dread along
with its blooming flowers, sports
can provide temporary salvation.
As for motivation keep looking
at the bottom of that coffee cup.

DENVER Nuggets coach
George Karl disagrees with the
$25,000 fine given to forward
Kenyon Martin, calling it way
out of line and crazy.
Martin was penalized by the
league on Monday, the day after
knocking Dallas Mavericks for-
ward Dirk Nowitzki to the court
in Denvers second-round, series-
opening win.
Im going to repeat, I think its
wrong and Kenyon didnt deserve
a $25,000 fine, Karl said after his
teams shootaround in preparation
for Game 2 on Tuesday night.
Karl said he watched replays of
the foul 10 times Monday night,
coming away even more per-
plexed by why the league felt a
fine was warranted.
I saw some
hits in Chicago-
Boston, some hits
in Atlanta-Miami
this is not on
top of the list
from my observa-
tion, he said. Its
amazing to me.
The league
declined to com-
ment.
Over his career, Martin has
been known for his physical play.
Did that work against him?
Thats for you all to scrutinize
and talk about, Karl said. As
a coach, when youre confused
and your players are confused
its tough. My job is to help. At
this moment, Im as confused as
Kenyon is.
Rex Chapman, the Nuggets vice
president of player personnel, was
contacted by NBA executive vice
president of basketball operations
Stu Jackson on Monday and had a
chance to voice his opinion.
Chapman said in an e-mail,
We will accept their decision and
move forward.
Martin was also assessed a fla-
grant foul 1 for the contact, which
occurred with about six minutes
left in the first quarter.
Still, Karl isnt going to request
that Martin dial down his tenac-
ity.
Kenyon is a tough defender
that gets at times the wrong inter-
pretation because hes so tough,
Karl said. Hes not going to get
the perfect whistle because the
way he plays creates a lot of inter-
pretation. Weve just got to move
on.
Nowitzki said after the game
he didnt have a problem with the
foul, calling it just a hard playoff
foul.
The Mavericks All-Star has no
beef with Martin, either.
We both played hard, had
some great battles and left it at
that, Nowitzki said Tuesday. We
were laughing at one move that I
made on the block where I had
like 10 or 11 fakes and he was just
standing there. He asked me what
the hell I was doing?
On the play in question,
Nowitzki was off-balance when
Martin put a shoulder into him,
causing him to stumble and then
go sliding across the lane.
There are a lot of guys that
are better actors than some other
guys, Karl said. You want the
best team to win. You dont want
the team that can trick you into
winning.
Nowitzki took
offense to the
notion he made the
foul look worse that
it really was.
I dont think I
really acted on that
play. It was pretty
obvious, Nowitzki
said. I was on
the baseline, I
got bumped and I got the foul.
Sometimes with the continuation
in this league, I guess he wanted
to make sure that I didnt get the
lay-in and they would count the
basket.
Even though it cost Martin
$25,000, the fine might have been
worth it for him and the Nuggets.
It seemed to set the tone for the
game, if not the series, that the
Mavericks were in for some hard
play against the rough-and-tum-
ble Nuggets.
That said, Karl objects to the
perception his team has abruptly
become too assertive.
All of a sudden, weve been
labeled bullies and too physical.
Where was this at the end of the
season? Karl said. This is, I
think, teams crying a little bit that
were playing hard. Were playing
harder than maybe they are. Im
not going to tell my team not to
play harder.
Nowitzki said he didnt think
the fine would cause Martin to
alter his style.
K-Mart is K-Mart. Hes an
aggressive player, an aggressive
defender, Nowitzki said. I dont
think thats going to be in the back
of his mind. Hes a competitor.
So am I. So were going to have a
battle the whole series.

inning in a 10-6 victory over
Cleveland on Tuesday.
Trailing 6-3 after the Indians
scored four times in the top of
the seventh, the Blue Jays man-
aged seven runs and six hits of
four relievers in the bottom half.
With one out, Raul Chavez
and Travis Snider singled of
Rafael Perez. Vinnie Chulk (0-1)
walked Marco Scutaro and left
after Aaron Hills two-run single.
Alex Rios followed with an RBI
single of Jensen Lewis.
Tony Sipp replaced Lewis
after the second out, but Lind
homered into the second deck
in right before Rolen homered
to left.
Cleveland relievers have
a combined ERA of 6.49 this
season.
Brian Wolfe (1-0) worked 2-3
of an inning for the win in his
frst appearance since being
called up from Triple-A Las
Vegas on Friday.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Matt
Garza pitched eight strong
innings and major league RBI
leader Evan Longoria drove in
three runs for Tampa Bay.
Garza (3-2) allowed three runs

6-0 lifetime against the Orioles.
Brian Shouse got the frst two
outs of the ninth, and Troy Per-
cival fnished up for his fourth
save.
Brian Roberts and Gregg Zaun
homered to give the Orioles a
3-1 lead.
Longorias pop-fy double of
Koji Uehara (2-2) tied it 3-all in
the sixth. He added a two-run
single in the seventh that made
it 6-3.
B.J. Upton ended an 0-for-20
skid, the longest of his career,
with an RBI double that put
Tampa Bay ahead in the sev-
enth. Slumping Dioner Navarro
also provided some timely hit-
ting with a double and single
after a 5-for-46 rut.

after being tied at two
runs
SEATTLE Jarrod Saltala-
macchia hit a grand slam that
capped a six-run burst with two
outs in the 10th inning of emer-

Texas won its fourth straight.
Seattle rookie Shawn Kelley
entered to begin the 10th,
threw three pitches to Elvis An-
drus and then fell in pain from a
strained muscle on his left side.
Stark (0-1) was summoned on
no notice and retired the frst
two batters before the Rangers
broke loose. Marlon Byrd and
Nelson Cruz had RBI singles
before Saltalamacchia hit his
second career slam.
Texas starter Vicente Padilla
allowed one hit and one un-

four-game win streak
CHICAGO Tim Lincecum
allowed four hits over seven
innings and Bengie Molina hit a
three-run homer Tuesday, lead-
ing the San Francisco Giants to
a 6-2 victory over the Chicago
Cubs.
Lincecum (3-1) struck out
seven and walked two in ending
the Cubs four-game winning
streak.
Resting fve regulars against
Lincecum, the 2008 NL Cy
Young winner, Cubs manager
Lou Piniella went with a lineup
featuring six players who were
in the minors as recently as
2007.
Among those starting for
the Cubs was Bobby Scales, a
31-year-old infelder making his
big league debut after spending
11 years in the minors.
Scales, who supplements
his income by working as a
substitute teacher during the
ofseason, singled in the ffth
inning and scored on a single by
pitcher Sean Marshall (0-2).
Scales ended up going 1-for-4
and struck out to end the game.
Game suspended for rain
with tie in extra innings
WASHINGTON A sloppy
matchup between the Wash-
ington Nationals and Houston
Astros wound up without a
winner when the game was
suspended by rain with the
score tied at 10 in the bottom
of the 11th inning.
Because the Astros arent
scheduled to return to Wash-
ington this season, the game
will be resumed July 9 in Hous-
ton with the Nationals as the
home team.
Cristian Guzman hit a two-
run homer in the eighth that
put the Nationals ahead 10-9.
The Astros tied it in the ninth
on Geof Blums sacrifce fy.
Astros ace Roy Oswalt left in
the sixth inning with a bone
bruise on his right index fnger.
Oswalt, still winless after seven
starts this season, hurt his
pitching hand while bunting
and said he might skip a bull-
pen session between starts.

Valerie GeorGe
Upon frst glance, you might not
place Valerie George as a big-time
pitcher. But thats just what George,
a 5-foot-5 hurler, likes to hear.
A lot of people have doubted
me, being undersized as a pitcher,
she said. I feel like I did a good job
of proving them wrong.
Over her career, George has gone
from a complementary arm in the
bullpen to the ace of the staf. Last
season was her best in a Jayhawk
uniform, as she racked up 18 vic-
tories from the circle behind a 1.96
ERA. Tough this season has been
somewhat of a disappointment for
the team, it still contains a career
highlight for George.
Georges eyes lit up when remi-
niscing about the teams 5-1 upset
victory against perennial sofball
powerhouse Arizona. George, a
Tucson native, struck out eight and
earned the victory in the early-sea-
son game.
For me obviously, the home-
town thing was big, but theyre
always such a good team too, she
said. It felt so good to beat them.

elle Pottorf
Bumps and bruises, scrapes and
cuts all in a days work for Elle
Pottorf. As the backstop for Kansas
for the past fve seasons, Pottorf
has endured much more than a few
scratches.
Afer taking medical redshirt in
2006 because of shoulder surgery,
Pottorf bounced back with her
best ofensive season, blasting nine
home runs and 37 RBIs. Tough
a knee injury cut her 2008 season
short, Pottorf found her way back
to the feld to catch the majority of
Kansas games this year.
I dont know if Ive ever coached
a player who has fought back from
so many injuries, Bunge said.
Tough she has overcome all her
injuries, they seem to have made a
lasting impact on Pottorf, who is
currently working to become an
athletic trainer. With a few years
of school remaining, Pottorf is far
from fnished but her athletic
eligibility is.
My fve years have been a blast,
she said. I grew up only having
brothers, so it was nice to have the
girls on the team to talk with and
play pranks on. Tey are all like my
sisters.
DouGie Mccaulley
Since transferring to Kansas
from Odessa (Texas) Junior College
before the 2007 season, Dougie
McCaulley has been a fxture in the
Jayhawk outfeld.
Being able to put on the KU
uniform day-in and day-out has
been special, she said.
McCaulley has started every
game she has appeared in and has
become known for robbing oppo-
nents of a hit or two with diving
catches. McCaulley, a Victorville,
Calif., native, has also been a con-
sistent hitter for Kansas, with her
.375 average last year marking the
sixth-best single season average in
KU history.
When she isnt roaming center
feld, McCaulley is an avid fan of
hunting, fshing and target shoot-
ing. One day, she hopes to own her
own ranch so she can continue to
enjoy being outdoors.
Tough McCaulley will miss be-
ing on the feld, she spoke more
about what being on the team has
meant to her.
Te game has been such a
big part of my life she said. But
what Ill miss most is just the
relationships with my teammates.
We have a little Jayhawk family
with 17 sisters.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS Just when
Brett Favre looked to finally be out,
the Minnesota Vikings could be
pulling him back in.
Citing an anonymous source
with direct knowledge of the dis-
cussions between the two parties,
ESPN reported Tuesday that Favre
is scheduled to meet with Vikings
coach Brad Childress later this week
about a possible comeback with
Minnesota.
Favres agent, Bus Cook, did not
immediately return a phone call
to his Mississippi office left by The
Associated Press.
Childress did not immediately
return a message. A Vikings spokes-
man declined to comment.
Both Favre and Cook have said
this spring that Favre intends to stay
retired. But Favres statement after
he was released by the New York
Jets last week left the door open.
At this time, I am retired and
have no intention of returning to
football, he said.
Those three little wordsAt this
timeset off rampant speculation
that he was indeed considering a
second return to action.
Childress said Friday he had been
too busy to concentrate on Favre,
but did acknowledge the subject
would soon be broached.
It wouldnt be the first time.
Favre spent 16 seasons in Green
Bay, retiring in 2008 after leading
the Packers to the NFC title game.
He changed his mind a few months
later, which set up a long and messy
soap opera that ultimately led to his
trade to the Jets.
It was believed all along that
Favre, after hearing Green Bays
plans to go with Aaron Rodgers
at quarterback, wanted to come to
NFC North rival Minnesota so he
could exact some revenge on the
Packers.
But the Packers would have none
of it. The team filed tampering
charges against the Vikings, alleg-
ing improper contact between Favre
and Vikings offensive coordinator
Darrell Bevell, a friend of Favres
from his days as Green Bays quar-
terbacks coach.
The league cleared the Vikings of
all charges. Green Bay included in
the trade to New York a clause that
made it all but impossible for the
Jets to turn around and ship Favre
to the Vikings.
But when the Jets granted the
39-year-old Favre his release last
week, it made him a free agent who
is eligible to sign with any team
he chooses. And many experts say
the Vikings are a quarterback away
from being a legitimate Super Bowl
contender.
With unproven veterans Sage
Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson slat-
ed to duke it out in training camp
for the starting job, it would come as
no surprise that the Vikings would
at least consider adding a three-time
MVP who holds the career records
in every major statistical passing
category, including interceptions.
But the move would not come
without questions.
After an impressive start to
his first and only season in New
Yorkhe threw a career-high six
touchdown passes in a win over
Arizona in Week 4 Favres pro-
duction dipped considerably over
the final five games while he dealt
with shoulder and biceps injuries.
He threw nine interceptions in that
span and the Jets stumbled to a 1-4
finish. assOCIatEDPREss

Associated Press
BALTIMORE When Michael
Phelps was at his lowest, unsure if
he wanted to return to swimming,
he sat down with a pen and a piece
of paper.
I wrote out the pros and cons of
swimming, he said, and quitting.
In the end, swimming won out.
Phelps returned to what he does
best. Now, hes finished serving a
three-month suspension that was
doled out by USA Swimming after a
picture surfaced in a British tabloid
showing him inhaling from a mari-
juana pipe.
Tuesday was the final day of his
suspension. Phelps marked it like
any other day: He woke up late and
headed to the pool.
I had no idea, he told The
Associated Press in an exclusive
interview.
Phelps admitted the fallout from
the infamous photo made him think
twice about whether he wanted to
stay in the public eye.
There were days I would just
come and warm up and say, Im
not feeling it. I would just go home,
he said. If I wanted to swim slow, I
would swim slow. If I didnt want to
come, I wouldnt come.
But after taking that sheet of
paper, drawing a line down the
middle, and writing the advantages
of swimming on one side and the
disadvantages on the other, Phelps
got back on course.
What am I doing even thinking
about quitting? he asked himself.
Im 23 years old. Im not retiring
at 23. I have four more years to my
career. I still have things I want to
accomplish.
Phelps called longtime coach Bob
Bowman on March 1 Bowman
remembers the day vividly and
said simply, Im doing it.
I was not really concerned wheth-
er he would quit or not, Bowman
said. I was concerned that if he
did quit, that he did it for the right
reasons. Otherwise, it would just
be a joke. I have told him, Youve
done all there is to do. If you quit
today, youre the greatest of all time.
You can walk away. But I did think
it would be bad if he walked away
because of this thing. He should go
on his own terms.
Always one to needle his most
famous athlete, Bowman couldnt
resist making a joke about the end
of the suspension, which limited
Phelps to training only and made it
tougher to stay motivated.
Oh, good, Bowman said. He
can go to a meet tonight.
Actually, hell return to com-
petition next week at a meet in
Charlotte, N.C. It will be his first
time swimming competitively since
winning eight gold medals at the
Beijing Olympics.
Im happy to be back in the water
and be back in semi-shape, said
Phelps, whos lost almost 20 pounds
in the last two months. Im sort of
getting back into racing shape and
getting ready to race my first race
since Beijing. Well see how it goes.
In Beijing, Phelps broke Mark
Spitzs 36-year-old record of seven
gold medals and became the win-
ningest Olympian ever with 14
golds. But the photo of him attend-
ing a party in South Carolina during
a lengthy break from training cost
him one major sponsor and threat-
ened to ruin his image.
It was a stupid mistake that I
made, he said during an interview
on the deck of the pool at Loyola
College in his native Baltimore. But
Ill have what Ive accomplished in
and out of the pool for the rest of
my life
Phelps said the whole experience
has shown me who my real friends
are. Its also given me a lot of time
to think. Pretty much since Beijing
ended, I didnt really know what I
wanted to do.
Once he got that resolved, Phelps
returned to the plan all along to
keep swimming through the 2012
London Olympics. Although hes
not going to attempt eight gold
medals again, he will continue to do
a program that would be exhausting
to most swimmers.
In Charlotte, hell swim five
events: the 50-meter freestyle, 100
free, 200 free, 100 backstroke and
200 butterfly. Only two were on his
record-breaking program in Beijing,
the 200 free and 200 fly.
Im feeling good in the water
and swimming some decent times
in practice, Phelps said. But I have
no idea what to expect in the meet.
Im going in open minded.
As for his life away from the
pool, Phelps wouldnt discuss tab-
loid reports that hes dating Miss
California, Carrie Prejean, who
made headlines of her own last
month when she finished runner-
up in the Miss USA pageant. Some
thought her opposition to legalizing
same-sex marriage, which came in
response to a question, may have
cost her the title.
Shes a friend of mine, Phelps
said. But my private life, I want to
keep to myself.
That said, he can certainly sym-
pathize with what Prejean is going
through.
Its tough, he said. Im sure
its not fun for her. But were in
America. We have freedom of
speech. If she feels that way, she
can say it.
As for tabloid reports of his sup-
posedly heavy partying, Phelps and
said nearly everything written about
him was false.
The only thing I can do is laugh
about it, he said. Come on, I do
have some common sense. People
can say whatever they want. Thats
just how it is.
Not that he hasnt had some high-
profile stumbles in his life. After the
Athens Olympics, where he won
six gold medals and two bronzes,
Phelps pleaded guilty to driving
while impaired.
I know I have not been perfect
by any means, he said. But I have
learned from all of my mistakes.
Thats all you can ask for.
Phelps worked out for more than
three hours Thursday, even giving a
brief glimpse of the new stroke hell
try out in the 100 free, a windmill
motion with his arms that Bowman
hopes will provide more speed. He
endlessly picked on one of his five
training partners, fellow Olympian
Katie Hoff, and needled Bowman
when the coach gave out some
wrong information about the next
days schedule.
Its the old me, the normal me,
he said. Im coming in, working
hard and taking steps toward my
goals.
And that sheet of paper? He
wouldnt reveal what was on it, and
theres no need for the tabloid media
to go through his trash looking
for it.
That, he said, breaking into the
sly grin of someone whos learned
some valuable lessons about life in
the public eye, went right into the
shredder.

Friday at the HAWK
8pm-2am
by TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND The
Cleveland Cavaliers shook off
some rust, and then the Atlanta
Hawks.
Newly crowned MVP LeBron
James scored 34 points and the
well-rested Cavs, who waited nine
days between playoff games after
a first-round sweep, pulled away
in the second half for a 99-72 vic-
tory against the Atlanta Hawks in
their Eastern Conference semifi-
nal opener on Tuesday.
Showing why he was voted the
league's best player in a land-
slide, James added 10 rebounds,
three assists and four steals as
the top-seeded Cavs won their
fifth straight lopsided game in a
postseason that has so far mir-
rored the best regular season in
franchise history.
Mo Williams added 21 points
for Cleveland, which has won
each of its five games by double
figures.
With the Cavs up by 21, James
was pulled with 4:29 left extra
down time before Game 2 on
Thursday night at Quicken Loans
Arena, where the Cavaliers are
42-2.
Josh Smith scored 22 and Mike
Bibby 19 for the Hawks, who
needed seven games to get past
Miami and are playing in the
second round for the first time
in 10 years.
James was presented with his
MVP trophy before the game
by league commissioner David
Stern, who complimented the
24-year-old superstar's selfless-
ness, saying "you led the team
by playing team first" to get the
award. James did that for all 35
minutes on the floor.
Stern's praise was nearly
drowned out by more than 20,000
fans chanting "M-V-P!" in another
salute to James, the first Cavaliers
player to win the award.
Perhaps out of sync because
of the long layoff, the Cavs were
sluggish in the first half and
didn't take control until the third
quarter, when they outscored the
Hawks 28-17. As usual, Cleveland
relied on its defense to turn things
around after halftime.
"I think the team knew and I
knew the ceremony was going to
happen, but we still had a game
to play," James said. "We didn't
want to rain in the ceremony by
not preparing ourselves the best
way to come out and play. We had
some lapses in the first half, but
we got it going in the third and
fourth quarter and took care of
the game."
With the Hawks still within
eight, James was all alone on
defense but stopped a 2-on-1 by
drawing a charge on Joe Johnson.
Later in the quarter, Wally
Szczerbiak moved his feet to take
a charge, a defensive play that had
Cavs coach Mike Brown dancing
on the sideline as if it was a game-
winning shot.
Wearing special Nikes to
honor his MVP win, James was
scary from the outset, starting
as though he needed to prove he
deserved the award.
He dunked on Cleveland's first
possession, got his second bucket
on a left-handed finger roll and
finished the first quarter with 16
points and five rebounds, leading
the Cavs to a 25-21 lead.

Kansas City Royals manager Trey Hillman
talks to home plate umpire Jerry Crawford
during the ffth inning of a baseball game
against the Chicago White Sox onTuesday in
Kansas City, Mo.
Royals win in 11th inning
by JOHN MARSHALL
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. John Buck
lined a game-winning single with the
bases loaded in the 11th inning and
helped the Kansas City Royals com-
plete an 8-7 comeback victory against
the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday
night.
Kansas City came back from a 4-0
deficit to tie it at 7-all on Billy Butler's
run-scoring single in the seventh.
Mitch Maier set up the winning run
by walking with one out, then went to
third on Willie Bloomquist's hit-and-
run single off Lance Broadway (0-1).
Alberto Callaspo was intentionally
walked and Buck lined the next pitch
just past third baseman Josh Fields.
Juan Cruz (2-0) pitched the 11th
and set up Buck's game-winner. Mike
Jacobs hit a long three-run homer
and Callaspo added a solo shot and
a run-scoring double for the Royals,
who have won four straight and six
of seven.
Jermaine Dye and Josh Fields
returned from hand injuries to homer
and Scott Podsednik drove in two
runs for Chicago, which had 16 hits.
A.J. Pierzynzki had four hits and
Carlos Quentin three, but the White
Sox stranded 13 runners on and lost
four straight to Kansas City for the
first time since 2003.
The White Sox staked starter Gavin
Floyd to a a 4-0 lead in three innings
and he gave it all back, allowing a solo
homer to Callapso in the third inning
and a three-run, 441-foot shot to
Jacobs in the fourth. The right-hand-
er ran into trouble again in the sixth
inning, chased after a leadoff walk to
Jose Guillen and Butler's single.
The Royals crept back within one,
but Davies gave up another run in
the fourth on Carlos Quentin's RBI
single and was done after Dye's lead-
off single in the fifth. Alexei Ramirez
followed with a run-scoring single
off Robinson Tejeda and Podsednik
made it 7-4 with a sacrifice fly.

CLASSIFIEDS 8B WEDNESDay, May 6, 2009
BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
So much about Tiger Woods
afer major knee surgery looks the
same.
He won at Bay Hill with a birdie
putt on the last hole that everyone
knew he was going to make. Even
when his swing was out of sorts last
week at Quail Hollow, he somehow
was in the thick of contention until
the fnal two holes.
But this is not the same Tiger
Woods.
He is missing his power, whether
its of the tee with a driver or from
the fairway with irons that are
sometimes two more clubs than
what he used before surgery last
June to rebuild his lef knee.
Te power shortage was never
more evident than the fnal round
of the Masters, playing with Phil
Mickelson, when Woods usually
was the frst to hit from the fair-
way. Even his rival couldnt help
but notice.
I kept having to wait for him
to hit, Mickelson jokingly said
Tuesday.
Tat wasnt the case the last
time they played together at Au-
gusta National, the fnal round in
2001, when on some holes Woods
hit it farther with a 3-wood than
Mickelson did with a driver.
More evidence came last week
at Quail Hollow.
By measuring drives on the 56
holes that were not par 3s, Mickel-
sons average tee shot was nearly 14
yards longer than Woods. Statistics
can be misleading, especially over
the frst two rounds because they
played on opposite ends of the
draw.
But in the third round, when
they were separated by one group,
Mickelson was longer of the tee on
11 of the 14 driving holes. Lefys
average drive was 317.6 yards,
Woods was at 300.5 yards.
Woods has an answer for his
sudden loss of length.
Ive been away from the game
for a long time, he said Tuesday,
referring to his eight-month lay-
of afer the U.S. Open. And its
going to take a little bit of time
before my body gets back to
where I can hit the ball the same
distances. I dont hit the ball the
same distance with my irons or
my driver.
What he doesnt have an answer
for is when he will get it back.
Hopefully, soon, he said.
Woods said at Quail Hollow
that he was just starting to get
some pop back in the swing,
which had been missing earlier in
the year. He spoke about the rota-
tion required to generate speed in
his swing, and the importance of
not stretching the ligament.
He noticed the difference his
first tournament back in Ari-
zona.
I just didnt have the pop in
my body, nor should I, he said.
It takes time for anyone who has
a reconstruction (of the ACL) to
come back and get the speed back
and the agility and all those dif-
ferent things. Most athletes take
over a year to get back. With my
sport, Ive been able to get back
sooner than that, just because of
the nature of my sport.
Distance is not an issue at Te
Players Championship, where the
TPC Sawgrass is only 7,215 yards.
Like most property in Florida, its
all about location. Even so, Woods
bristled at the suggestion from
NBC Sports analyst Johnny Miller
that he would be better of using
a 3-wood to navigate the Stadium
Course.
Remember, he used only one
driver in winning the British
Open at Royal Liverpool in 2006.
Ten again, the links course was
dry and brown, and the only wa-
ter on the course was in bottles
for drinking.
Weve got par 5s out here.
Youve got to be able to use it,
Woods said. If Johnny says you
cant hit drivers on 9 and 11, youre
giving up two opportunities to get
close to the green.

Woods regaining power after surgery
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tiger Woods tries to decide which club to use as he hits balls fromthe edge of the seventh green during a frst practice round for the Players Championship golf tournament at the TPC Sawgrass in
Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., onTuesday. Woods said he was still regaining his power with his drivers and irons after recovering fromknee surgery.
