ELECTION
Celebrities show support for Obama
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Celebri-
ties are focking to Charlotte for the
Democratic convention, albeit with-
out the prop furniture that made
Clint Eastwoods appearance at last
weeks Republican convention so
talked about.
Tus far, the DNC has seen a
large number of celebrity attend-
ees, but not quite the outpouring
of high-wattage support President
Barack Obama engendered in 2008.
Surprise guests could still arrive, like
Eastwood did for his unexpected
speech bestride an empty seat at the
RNC.
But without Obamas most fa-
mous supporters Oprah Winfrey,
George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ben Af-
feck, Anne Hathaway the likeli-
hood of any celebrity causing the stir
Eastwood did seems slim.
Eva Longoria, a co-chair of
Obamas reelection campaign, was
due to address delegates Wednes-
day. Ashley Judd is attending as a
Tennessee delegate. Will.i.am, who
wrote the song Yes We Can for
Obamas 2008 run, attended former
President Bill Clintons fundraiser
Tuesday, and was to join a panel
about innovative solutions to unem-
ployment on Wednesday.
Kal Penn, the Harold and Ku-
mar Go to White Castle actor who
earlier worked as associate director
in the White House Ofce of Public
Engagement, addressed the crowd
on Tuesday. His comedic speech in-
cluded a reference to Eastwood.
Ive worked on a lot of fun mov-
ies, but my favorite job was having a
boss who gave the order to take out
Bin Laden and whos cool with all of
us getting gay married, said Penn.
So thank you invisible man in the
chair for that.
Penn is also hosting live stream-
ing coverage of the convention
Tursday for BarackObama.com.
His guests are expected to include
Elizabeth Banks and Olivia Wilde,
among others. Penn also created a
YouTube video in which he receives
a phone call from Obama while he
sits on a couch eating pizza with his
Harold and Kumar co-star, John
Cho.
Te biggest celebrity infusion
will likely come Tursday ahead
of Obamas speech and acceptance
of the partys nomination. Among
those scheduled to perform Turs-
day are the Foo Fighters, James Tay-
lor, Mary J. Blige, Earth Wind and
Fire, and Marc Anthony, who is to
sing the national anthem. Amber
Riley of Glee sang on Tuesday.
Jef Bridges, performing with his
band the Abiders, is in Charlotte af-
ter a trip last week to Tampa for the
RNC. Hes seeking bipartisan sup-
port for the No Kid Hungry cam-
paign.

CANGREJAL, Costa Rica A
powerful, magnitude-7.6 earth-
quake shook Costa Rica and a
wide swath of Central America on
Wednesday, collapsing some hous-
es, blocking highways and causing
panic and at least one death from a
heart attack.
Costa Rica President Laura
Chinchilla announced there were
no reports of major damage and
called for calm.
At the epicenter, the beach town
of Cangrejal, Jairo Zuniga, 27, said
everything in his house fell when
the quake hit at 8:42 a.m. (10:42
a.m. EDT; 1442 GMT).
It was incredibly strong. Ive
felt earthquakes, but this one was
wow, he said.
Te U.S. Geological Survey said
the quake was centered about 38
miles (60 kilometers) from the
town of Liberia and 87 miles (140
kilometers) west of the capital, San
Jose, where frightened people ran
into the streets.
Te magnitude initially was
estimated at 7.9, but was quickly
downgraded. Local residents said
it shook for about 30 seconds and
was felt as far away as neighbor-
ing Panama and Nicaragua, where
school was canceled in some areas.
Panama also briefy called for
people to evacuate beach areas.
ATHENS, Greece Greek
police say they have made more
than 3,000 arrests in a month-
old campaign to hold and de-
port illegal immigrants.
A police statement says nearly
17,000 people were temporarily
detained in the greater Athens
area since the drive started on
Aug. 4, with 2,144 of those ar-
rested.
Debt-crippled Greece is the
main gateway to the European
Union for illegal immigrants,
most coming from Asia and Af-
rica. Te infux has fueled racist
rhetoric and violence.
Hundreds of thousands have
entered Greece in recent years,
and ofcials said Wednesday
some 400 were illegally crossing
the land border with Turkey ev-
ery day before the clampdown.
Te Turkish border infux has
dropped 84 percent, the police
statement said, with 1,121 il-
legal immigrants arrested there
over the past month, compared
to 6,991 a year earlier.
NEW DELHI A massive
blaze raged for hours at a freworks
factory in southern India, killing
at least 40 workers and injuring
60 others Wednesday, police said.
Some reports put the death toll at
more than 50.
Flames billowing out of the fac-
tory could be seen 1.5 kilometers
(one mile) away before frefghters
with about a dozen fre engines ex-
tinguished the fre more than fve
hours afer it began, witnesses and
news reports said. Photographs
taken aferward showed the fac-
tory had burned to rubble and fre-
works littered the ground.
Te fre spread to 40 of the 60
rooms at the Om Siva Shakti fre-
works factory, one of the biggest in
Sivakasi town in Tamil Nadu state,
police ofcer P. Karupaiah said.
Te Press Trust of India news
agency said about 300 people were
working in the factory and 52 died.
Te CNN-IBN television news
channel said rescue workers had
completed a search of the devastat-
ed building for trapped workers.
Large amounts of frecrackers
and raw materials were stored in
the factory with major Hindu fes-
tivals weeks away.
Te cause of the fre was not im-
mediately known, Karupaiah said.
Te region has many factories
making freworks, which are used
in religious festivals and weddings
across India. Tey also are export-
ed to other Asian countries.

Pope gifted electric car
for greener traveling
VATICAN CITY Pope
Benedict XVI is now a bit green-
er.
Te 85-year-old pontif was
presented with his frst electric
car Wednesday, a customized
white Renault Kangoo for jaunts
around the gardens of the papal
summer residence at Castel Gan-
dolfo.
Benedict has been dubbed
the green pope for his envi-
ronmental concerns, which have
been a hallmark of his papacy. He
has written of the need to protect
Gods creation in his encyclicals,
and raised the issue on his for-
eign trips and in his annual peace
messages.
Under his watch, the Vatican
has installed photovoltaic cells on
its main auditorium and joined a
reforestation project to ofset its
carbon dioxide emissions.
But now the pope has his
own ozone-preserving electric
car, which he used on Wednes-
day to travel from the helipad
at Castel Gandolfo through the
gardens back to his palazzo. He
was returning to his retreat in the
Alban Hills south of Rome afer
presiding over his weekly general
audience in the Vatican.
Earlier this year, Italian auto-
maker NWG donated an electric
car to the Vatican, but it was for
the press ofce to use. Renault on
Wednesday also turned over the
keys to a blue version of the Kan-
goo for the Vatican gendarmes to
tool around Vatican City.
Tough Benedicts Renault is
white and carries the papal seal
on its doors, it isnt a popemo-
bile.

Many college students would
rather spend their time doing any-
thing but working, but recent stud-
ies show that money isnt the only
beneft of a part-time job. Te Unit-
ed States Bureau of Labor Statistics
found that students who worked
between one and 20 hours a week
get better grades then students who
do not work. Tis may come as a
surprise, because common logic
would lead one to believe that less
time working means more time
to complete school work. In most
cases though, more free time means
more time to do things other than
homework.
Mary Ann Rasnak, director of
the Academic Achievement and
Access Center, agrees that having a
job is an important part of learning
responsibility and becoming inde-
pendent.
We all get more done when we
are busy, she said.
Jessica Eaton, a sophomore from
Dodge City, is proof of this statistic.
Having a job helps me manage
my time better, because I have to
plan studying around work. It helps
keep me organized, Eaton said.
Work was never an option for
Eaton, a waitress who has to pay
for almost everything on her own.
Even with working and school, she
still fnds time to participate in a so-
rority and loves to go running. She
shows it is possible to have a part-
time job, go to school and have a
social life.
However, the same study also
found that working too many hours
can have a negative efect on your
grades, with the average GPA for
students who worked full-time jobs
being lower than those who dont
work at all. Twenty hours is the hap-
py medium, because working too
much can leave you with no time to
balance work and school and keep
up in your classes.
Te most successful people I
meet are the ones that have the right
balance, Rasnak said.
Twenty hours a week will most
likely give you the motivation to
be productive with your free time,
while working too much will give
you no free time.
Although Rasnak said that some-
times it would be nice to have ev-
erything paid for, Eaton said she
wouldnt change how things are.
Ill go to class because I know
that its my money I would be wast-
ing if I didnt, Eaton said. I dont
take it for granted.

leadership and development program
for K-12 students. He will leave his
vice chancellor position on dec. 31.

proposed Keystone XL pipeline route altered
OMAHA, Neb. Te com-
pany that wants to build a pipe-
line to transport crude oil from
Canada to Gulf Coast refneries
said Wednesday it has revised its
proposed new route through Ne-
braska to avoid environmentally
sensitive areas.
Te latest proposed Keystone
XL pipeline route is TransCan-
adas second attempt to satisfy
state environmental regulators.
Te Nebraska Department of
Environmental Quality said in
July that the initial revised route
crossed land that could erode eas-
ily and passed near unconfned
aquifers that supply drinking wa-
ter to residents and livestock.
Te new TransCanada propos-
al tweaks that April plan, making
the route veer east shortly afer
entering the state to avoid more
of the sensitive areas in Keya Paha
County, east again around the
town of Clarks and west around
the town of Western to avoid
drinking water well felds.
TransCanada shares the goal
of protecting key water and natu-
ral resources with Nebraskans,
TransCanada CEO Russ Girling
said. Te proposal also upgrades
planned safety measures, add-
ing more remote control shut-of
valves and inspections, the com-
pany said.
Nebraska regulators said they
would review the new proposal
and hold a public hearing on it
before submitting a recommenda-
tion to the governor, possibly by
the end of the year. Te governor
will decide whether to approve
the new route for the pipeline.
An initial scan of
the report indicates
that it responds to
some of the com-
ments raised by the
NDEQ and the pub-
lic, but a full evalua-
tion will now begin,
said Mike Linder,
director of the state
agency.
Environmental groups have
long opposed the pipeline project
because of concerns that it could
contaminate underground and
surface water supplies, increase
air pollution around refneries
and harm wildlife.
Bold Nebraskas Jane Kleeb said
the latest new route doesnt go far
enough to address her groups
concerns about potential erosion
of the Sandhills and groundwater
contamination, so she believes
state and federal ofcials should
block the pipeline.
Te route still crosses the
aquifer and it still crosses sandy
soil, so all of the same concerns
remain, Kleeb said.
TransCanada spokesman Gra-
dy Semmens said only 36 miles of
the 275 miles of pipeline in Ne-
braska would cross sandy soils,
and the new route entirely avoids
the area Nebraska defned as the
Sandhills.
Joe Mendelson of the National
Wildlife Federation said the Key-
stone XL pipeline puts too much
natural habitat at risk.
Te best approach is to ditch
Keystone XL entirely and em-
brace clean energy solutions that
dont spill
or explode,
Mendelson
said.
T h e
pipeline is
d e s i g ne d
to carry oil
from Can-
ada across
Montana, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
TransCanada also has proposed
connecting it to the Bakken oil
feld in Montana and North Da-
kota.
President Barack Obama re-
jected TransCanadas original ap-
plication for a federal permit to
build the pipeline in January by
afer congressional Republicans
imposed a deadline for approval
that didnt allow enough time to
address questions about the route
through Nebraska.
Since then, TransCanada has
split the project into two pieces.
Te company began construc-
tion last month on the southern
section of the pipeline between
Oklahoma and the Gulf Coast.

ts here. Te NFL season has ofcial-
ly begun, but you may notice those
replacement referees are still there.
In June, the NFL ofcially locked out
the leagues referees afer failing to reach a
deal in time on a new collective bargain-
ing agreement. According to the NFL, the
two parties started negotiating in October
of 2011, with the two parties far apart on
fnancial issues.
Under the current agreement, NFL ref-
erees make an average of $149,000 for the
full slate of preseason and regular season
games. Te NFL has said it ofered the of-
fcials a raise of between 5 percent and 11
percent depending on experience. How-
ever, the NFL Referees Association said
the current talks do not include this raise
in salary.
To me, this bickering is ridiculous and
a shame. Te referees are the best in the
world, and while they make errors, never
do they make the errors these replacements
have made during the preseason. Each side
is blaming the other for not getting a deal
done, and it seems the NFL is ready to use
the replacements for the entire season.
Whether you believe it or not, these ref-
erees have just as big an impact on a game
as any single player and deserve to be com-
pensated fairly for the job they do.
If you watched any preseason games this
year, it is clear the replacement referees just
cant control the game like the NFL refer-
ees. While it is easy to blame the replace-
ment refs, you need to understand most of
these guys are from Division II football or
even the Lingerie Football League. Yeah,
you read that correctly: the Lingerie Foot-
ball League.
Some blunders have been comical, but
what will happen in the regular season
when a clear bad call determines the out-
come of a game? Some of the blunders seem
to be unbelievable. When Washington took
on Bufalo and the ball was downed on the
4-yard line afer a punt, one would wonder
how they could mess up the location of the
ball. Te ref decided it was a touchback de-
spite the ball never coming close to the end
zone, and afer placing the ball at the 20-
yard line, Bufalo had to challenge the call
to get it correct. Tis is probably the most
egregious call made during the preseason
and shows that the possibilities are endless
during the regular season.
While many errors were made in past
regular season games, most were not com-
mon-sense calls. Te biggest diference be-
tween these replacement refs and the nor-
mal crews could be on pass-interference
calls. Tis is probably the most difcult call
in the game because of the constant contact
between receivers and defensive backs.
Te NFL is the most popular sport in
America and makes more money than
most of us can dream of, so how can they
not aford to give the referees the compen-
sation they deserve?
Tese early blunders have only brought a
larger microscope over all the replacement
referees. Te leading story heading into
the opening weekend will be the efective-
ness of these replacements, and I only can
hope they have a perfect opening weekend.
Football is back, though, so just sit back
and hope your team isnt on the wrong end
of a refereeing blunder.

DEFENSE
DEFENSE
The Jayhawks are looking to correct a passing game that went 17-36 against
South Dakota State. Quarterback Dayne Crist passed for 169 yards in a lackluster
debut, as the run game did the heavy lifting for the offense. Both Tony Pierson and
Taylor Cox gained 100-plus yards last week and will be relied on again.
The right side of the line is Rices biggest strength on offense. Jon Hodde is 6-foot-7
and weighs 305 pounds. Ian Gray stands at 6-foot-8 and weighs 325 pounds. Expect
Charles Ross to run the ball behind Hodde and Gray. The Owls offense will provide
some lanes for Ross, giving him the space he needs to break free. The concerns sur-
round junior quarterback Taylor McHargue. His consistency was an issue in 2011 and
has carried over to this season, but he connected with Sam McGuffe eight times last
week and will look for him early and often again this Saturday.
Kansas forced fve turnovers against the Jackrabbits, but cant rely on that
against stronger teams. Defensive coordinator Dave Campo will need a better
showing from his line. Kansas gave up over 200 yards both in the air and on the
ground on Saturday.
Rice is looking to do what South Dakota State did last week against Kansas
and hope to exploit their weaknesses. Cameron Nwosu led the Owls in tackles
last year and is already off to a solid start this season with nine tackles and an
interception. Nwosu is a key part of the nickel defense that the Owls run. Rice will
run a 4-2-5 base formation, with four down linemen, two linebackers, and fve
defensive backs. Their defense will be the key, if they seek to pull off an upset.
Kansas did enough to earn a win
against SDSU, but will need better
execution against Rice to stay un-
defeated. The Jackrabbits 99-yard
touchdown run occurred because one
defender was out of position on the
play. The offense struggled because
senior quarterback Dayne Crist over-
threw his receivers and some of the
receivers admitted to running incor-
rect routes. The Jayhawks want to
correct the mental mistakes and force
Rice to stop them.
Rices offense is built around
their quarterback, junior Taylor McH-
argue. McHargue threw 28 passes
and scrambled 22 times last week
against UCLA. Despite his position,
he still led the team in rushes, yards
and touchdowns on the ground last
Saturday. Defensively, the Owls dont
have many playmakers who can make
a difference on the feld. Their defense
was disappointed after letting UCLA
walk on them the entire game.
AT A GLANCE
AT A GLANCE
Charlie Weis gave Dayne Crists
performance last week a grade
that Crist would be embarrassed
to take home. Crist graded himself
even harder. Anxiety and rust may
have gotten to him in the Jayhawks
opener, but it will be hard to use
that excuse two weeks in a row.
WR Sam McGuffe McGuffe was
Taylor McHargues top receiver last
week, pulling in eight catches against
UCLA. McGuffe was a highly touted
recruit that spent his freshman year
at Michigan before transferring to
Rice. The Owls offense is still trying
to come together, but McHargue and
McGuffe have a chemistry on the
team that could spark the offense
against the Jayhawks.
PLAYER To WATCH
PLAYER To WATCH
Dave Campos defense will be
facing a much bigger offensive line
on Rice than they did against SDSU.
Multiple players over 6-foot-6, and
300 pounds protect Owl quarterback
Taylor McHargue. Campo will need to
come up with a way to get through
the line and put pressure on their
quarterback to avoid getting burned
in the passing game.
David Bailiff is in his 6th sea-
son as the head coach of Rice and
has a 17-30 record since joining
the team in 2007. He served as
the Texas State coach from 2004
to 2006. Before earning a head
coaching gig, he spent three years
as the defensive coordinator of
TCU before becoming the defen-
sive coordinator of Southwest
Texas State for four years.

BABY jAY WILL CHEER IF ...
Ron Doherty has been solid with his punts, but coach Charlie Weis would
still like someone to take over on kickoffs. This week Weis added freshman Nick
Prolago to the depth chart to try and slip him into the role. After Rice blocked
UCLA on three PATs, Weis also made an emphasis to get the ball high in the air
on feld goals.
The Jayhawks are riding the wave
of their frst win in almost a full cal-
endar year and the fan support is on
board with them. More than 46,000
fans packed Memorial Stadium last
saturday and the excitement contin-
ues to build. On the feld, running
backs Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox
are looking to follow up their 100-
yard games and continue being the
foundation of the offense.

qUESTIoN MARKS
qUESTIoN MARKS
Kansas makes it two consecutive
weeks with a victory. Its still too early to
paint this team one way or another, but
as long as the Jayhawks keep winning it
wont matter. There are still kinks to be
worked out on all sides of the ball, but
as Charlie Weis said, its easier to coach
a team thats winning.
The Owls defense stops the Jayhawks of-
fense. Kansas left many points on the feld
early in the game and allowed the Jackrabbits
to keep it close in the frst half. Defensive ends
Cody Bauer and Jared Williams must invade
the pocket and force Dayne Crist to throw ill-
advised passes into the Owls secondary.
Junior kicker Chris Boswell is off to a rocky start after going 17-of-21 feld
goals last year. Boswell made a 53-yard feld goal, but missed a 43-yard at-
tempt later in the game against UCLA last week. The Owls know that Kansas
did a good job of stopping South Dakota States offense last week and that the
same thing could happen to them. If so, Boswell will have to be ready to help
the Owls get on the scoreboard as much as possible.
SPECIAL TEAMS
SPECIAL TEAMS
Rice fnished 2011 with a 4-8
record and are starting off the sea-
son on a weak note. However, their
offense, win or lose, has found a
way to score. Since the start of the
2011 season, the Owls have scored
at least 20 points in 11 of their last
13 contests. Bailiff knows what to
expect out of his offense, which
has performed at a high level each
game.

Can Rices defense limit their opponents after a poor performance
last week?
Rices loss to UCLA in Week 1 was a frustrating one for the Owls defense.
They gave up 35 points in the frst half, as UCLA went on to score 49 points.
Rices offense managed play above average, but they received no help from
their defense throughout the game. Rice can move the football offensively,
but its defense must learn to create turnovers and stop the Jayhawks of-
fense to give their team a chance at winning.
Will Weis utilize both sides in the run game?
Against South Dakota State, Charlie Weis called the majority of the run
plays to the left side. Weis liked the combination of experienced of the left
side of the line and used that to his advantage. Rice, undoubtedly, knows
this by now. Will Weis keep the run game productive on the left? Or will he
place his trust in the the right side of the line and alternate run plays to
both sides throughout the game?

the UNIVeRSItY DAILY KANSAN thURSDAY, SePteMBeR 6, 2012 PAGe 8B
The most rookie quarterbacks
to ever debut in a NFL season
opener was three, and that was
back in the 1960s. This year it
has been announced that five
rookie quarterbacks will get the
starting job for their given teams.
In the past, coaches and man-
agement believed that rookie
quarterbacks couldnt just come
straight into the league out of
college and start. This method
has changed lately with the suc-
cess of Cam Newton and Andy
Dalton last year. This leaves the
question: If a quarterback dem-
onstrates talent out of college,
understands the new system and
is able to read defenses, why not
start the rookie?
Here are tHe five rookies
tHat are going to start
tHis year:
1. Andrew Luck (Indianapolis
Colts) Luck has been one
of the most talked about quar-
terback in the last decade and
has sky-high potential. Luck was
taken by the Colts as the first
overall pick in this years 2012
draft. He replaces the legacy of
the great Peyton Manning as
he tries to build his own legacy
now. It should take some time
for Luck and the Colts to rebuild
from last years disappointing
2-14 team, but Luck looks to
be the new face of the Colts,
and well see how hes developed
later down the road. Lucks first
game as a pro will be quite a test
as the Colts take on the Chicago
Bears this Sunday.
2. Robert Griffin III
(Washington Redskins) Griffin
won the Heisman last year, and
he is the player featured on mul-
tiple commercials this offsea-
son. He won the starting job for
the Redskins this year. Griffin
hopes to display all of his talents
as the Redskins take on the New
Orleans Saints this Sunday.
3. Russell Wilson (Seattle
Seahawks) Wilson, who
played his college ball at
Wisconsin, won the starting
job for the Seahawks this year.
Wilson is probably the biggest
underdog on this list because
not many believed he would earn
the starting role this year. Many
people thought Matt Flynn, who
got a 3-year, $26 million deal
this off-season, would get the
nod, but the undersized 5-foot-
11 Wilson outperformed Flynn.
Wilsons talents were overlooked
by many NFL teams as he fell
deep into the third round of the
2012 draft. In college Wilson
was unstoppable and looks to
be sharp at the next level, too.
In the preseason games, Wilson
has shown his versatility as he
was able to make plays with his
feet when a play broke down
and with his ability to throw
the ball with accuracy on the
run. The Seahawks first game is
this Sunday against the Arizona
Cardinals.
4. Brandon Weeden (Cleveland
Browns) The 28-year-old
Weeden will get the start for the
Cleveland Browns after beating
out Colt McCoy. Weeden, who
is from Oklahoma State, was
drafted by the Browns second
after taking Alabamas Trent
Richardson as the 3rd overall
pick. This look to be a rebuilding
year for the Browns, but hope-
fully Weeden and Richardson
will prove to be an effective duo
for years to come. Weeden and
the Browns kick off the season
this Sunday against the tough
Philadelphia Eagles.
5. Ryan Tannehill (Miami
Dolphins) Tannehill, who
came out of Texas A&M, looks
to lead a depleted Dolphins
team that had a 6-10 record
in 2011 and will most likely
have a worse record in 2012.
Tannehill will not have star
wide reciever Brandon Marshall,
who was traded to the Bears,
and the Dolphins recently cut
Chad Johnson. Tannehill will
most likely struggle in his first
year with a weak receiving core
and bad defense. Look for the
Dolphins to get blown out in
their first game of the season,
which is this Sunday against
the Houston Texans, who some
experts think could make the
Super Bowl this year.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga.
Tony Gonzalezs phone blew up
as soon as the NFL schedule came
out.
Tere it was, for everyone to see
the very frst game of what he
expects will be his fnal season.
Gonzo is going home.
Te likely Hall of Famer, one
of the greatest tight ends in NFL
history, spent the frst 12 years of
his record-breaking career with
the Kansas City Chiefs. Come
Sunday, Gonzalez will be lining
up at Arrowhead Stadium as an
opponent, trying to lead his cur-
rent team, the Atlanta Falcons, to
a victory over the franchise where
he made his name.
But there will always be a big
part of him in Kansas City.
I guess it all worked out, Gon-
zalez said.
Indeed, theres a symmetry to
the schedule. Hes already said
this, his 16th season, will likely be
his last. Its only appropriate that
Gonzalez gets a proper send-of
from those who cheered him for
so long but didnt really have a
chance to say goodbye when he
was dealt to the Falcons in 2009.
Obviously, Ive been thinking
about it, Gonzalez said Wednes-
day. When the schedule frst
came out, obviously, it popped
out. Right then and there, my
phone lit up with everybody call-
ing me: my family, people that Im
still friends with from the orga-
nization, and the friends I made
while I was up in Kansas City. Its
going to be special.
And, he conceded, a little
weird. Tose guys in the home
locker room are now the ones hes
trying to beat. Hell be the one
wearing a visiting uniform.
Gonzalez has admittedly spent
a lot of time reminiscing about his
time with the Chiefs, focusing on
the good times. He remembered
his frst coach, Marty Schotten-
heimer. He thought about the
explosive 2003 team, coached
by Dick Vermeil, which won the
AFC West and scored more points
than any team in the league.
Ive been lucky enough to ac-
cumulate a bunch of really, really
good memories, Gonzalez said.
Its funny, because these are the
things you actually think about,
things I thought about when I
saw the schedule, and just looking
back on my career there, it was all
really memorable. Obviously, the
losing seasons, you try to forget
about those. But winning, thats
what really popped out to me. It
was just a great experience out
there.
Te only thing missing from
Gonzalezs record is a playof vic-
tory. Not even one. Tats largely
the reason he was traded by the
Chiefs, who were about to go
through another major rebuilding
job when they agreed to deal their
most notable player to a franchise
on the way up.
Still, even though the Falcons
have made the playofs the last
two years, Gonzalezs postseason
drought has carried on. Atlanta
was one-and-done both times,
adding an extra bit of urgency to
this season. He decided to come
back for one more try.
Tat was another reason that
went into me coming back for this
year, Gonzalez said. Tats the
goal. Tats my why for this year.
Tats the reason you go out there
and put it all on the line.
He truly believes this is the
team that can give him not only
his frst playof win, but a Super
Bowl ring to end his career on.
Weve got a really good football
team, theres no doubt about that,
Gonzalez said. Its not just false
chatter. Weve got a really, really
good team from top to bottom, of-
fensively and defensively. I realize
that we have an opportunity to go
to the playofs, win a playof game,
and thats what I want. Tats why
Ive been playing this game my
whole career, to hopefully get a
chance at that Super Bowl. I feel
like weve got as good a chance as
anybody.
Te Falcons realize this is a spe-
cial game for Gonzalez, but they
know he shares their bigger goal.
Tey expect all the sentimentality
to fade away as soon as the ball is
kicked of.
One thing Ive noticed about
Tony in the time hes been with us
is hes extremely consistent, Fal-
cons quarterback Matt Ryan said.
Week in and week out, he brings
his best game. I expect the same
from him. I expect what he nor-
mally brings to the game. Tis guy
has a pretty level head. Im sure
it will be diferent for him going
back there. But once we get out
there, Im sure hell let all those
things go to the side and just focus
on doing his job and trying to play
his position the best he can.
Teres hardly anyone lef from
Gonzalezs time in Kansas City.
Most of the roster has turned over.
Romeo Crennel is heading into
his frst full season as the coach.
But that doesnt lessen anyones
appreciation of what Gonzalez ac-
complished with the Chiefs.
He probably was the leading
edge of that transition to pass-
catching tight ends and being able
to fex them out and use them al-
most like a wide receiver, Cren-
nel said. To do that, youve got to
have that ability. Youve got to have
that tremendous ability: hand-eye
coordination, great hands, that
savvy about reading coverages
and knowing how to get open.
Tony has all of that.
Gonzalez kept his home in
Kansas City for a while, perhaps
thinking deep down he might re-
turn someday. He fnally sold it
last year.
Even so, he still has deep ties
to the community. His brother,
Vince, lives in Kansas City. So
does his cousin, Dennis, who took
over a cleaning business the player
once owned.
My ties are just the people,
Gonzalez said. Obviously, there
arent too many people on the
team or in the front ofce because
they came in there and cleaned
house afer I lef.
Arrowhead can be one of the
leagues most imposing stadiums
for a road team.
Gonzalez has tried to prepare
the Falcons for what theyll face.
Be prepared, he told them.
Youre going to hear the coolest
national anthem youve ever heard
at the end of it, when instead of
yelling Home of the Brave they
yell Home of the Chiefs. Afer
every frst down they yell Tats
another Chiefs frst down and the
whole crowd yells it. Teyre going
to be crazy.
Hes also got a message for the
people of Kansas City.
I would frst of all say thank
you, Gonzalez said. Te way
they accepted me, the way they
stuck with me throughout the
years, the appreciation that
theyve shown me. I want to give
it right back to them. Tey made
my time in Kansas City a wonder-
ful experience.
Crennel hopes the return wont
be quite as wonderful.
Jokingly, he said the Chiefs
hope to prevent the 6-foot-5
Gonzalez, who played basketball
in college, from doing one of his
signature moves afer a touch-
down dunking the ball over the
crossbar.
Ryan perked up when he heard
that.
I do want to see it!

Brewers beat down
Marlins 8-5
mIamI rickie Weeks homered
twice and drove in four runs to help
Wily Peralta win his frst major league
start and lead the surging milwaukee
brewers over the miami marlins 8-5
on Wednesday night.
Corey Hart also homered and drove
in four runs for milwaukee, which has
won 13 of 16 to climb within 6 1/2
games of st. louis for the second nl
wild card spot.
milwaukee (67-69) also trails the
los angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh,

Te University of Kansas jiu jitsu
club has 20 new faces this semes-
ter, including some who have never
practiced jiu jitsu before.
Te skill levels of the members of
the jiu jitsu club vary, ranging from
seasoned veterans with years of prac-
tice to beginners without any expo-
sure to the mixed martial arts sport.
Many of the club members joined
without any experience and ended
up loving it.
When I frst started, it was re-
ally rough because I was rolling with
guys who were a lot better than me,
said Andrew Johns, jiu jitsu club
president. You kind of get your ass
kicked for a while before you learn
what youre doing. I mean you have
to learn the hard way.
Johns said at the beginning that it
was difcult and he frequently lost,
but his fellow teammates helped him
learn from his mistakes.
His freshman year he competed in
a Chicago tournament and did well,
and that gave him more motivation
to keep practicing jiu jitsu. Johns has
now been practicing the sport for
nearly four years his entire college
career.
Jiu jitsu is a martial art based on
taking people to the ground. Te
sport is designed so the smaller per-
son has an advantage once taken to
the ground.
When describing the martial arts
sport, John explains jiu jitsu as the
part of Ultimate Fighting that takes
place on the ground.
Other members of the jiu jitsu club
compare it to physical chess. Jiu jitsu
is more than physical prowess, with
the smaller person ofen beating the
larger opponent. Chris Goessing, one
of the coaches for the jiu jitsu club,
weighs in at around 145 pounds.
It is more of a mental game than
the physical game, Goessing said. I
like the focus on technique and not
on strength because I am a smaller
guy, but bigger guys have fun with it
too.
With so many new members in
the jiu jitsu club, there were many
diferent reasons as to why people
joined the club, and each new mem-
ber joined with a diferent skill level.
I have always been interested in
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and I
have a black belt in taekwondo, and
I was a wrestler, freshman Tanner
Taylor said. Its kind of like a mix
of martial arts and wrestling, so I
thought it would be a good ft for
me.
Te jiu jitsu club is not just for
guys; there are four girls in the club.
One of the newest female members is
the club presidents sister.
Hearing my brother talk about it
is what really got me interested in the
club, freshman Katie Johns said.
But as far as being a girl, Katie said
she has never felt out of place practic-
ing with the guys and gets treated like
any other member of the club.
Te frst couple (of practices)
have gone really well. Te coaches
do a great job of going through the
moves step by step and breaking
them down for the newer people.

Last year, junior Haley Fourni-
er decided to transfer from Texas
Tech and return to her home state
of Kansas to play for the Jayhawks.
Fournier went to high school 36
miles away from the University of
Kansas at Blue
Valley North
in Overland
Park.
She had an
i mp r e s s i v e
high school
career, ac-
c umul at i ng
seven state
championships
while at Blue Valley North play-
ing soccer and tennis. She was
named a two-time All-American
in tennis as well as being rated
the number one womens tennis
player in the state, according to
Tennisrecruiting.net.
Following high school, Fourni-
er decided Texas Tech was the
right fit for her. Although Fourni-
er had a good freshman season,
she said she wasnt happy playing
11 hours from home.
I got home sick, I just wanted
to be closer to home, Fournier
said. I just have such a bigger
support system here. It is a lot
more comfortable playing at Kan-
sas.
Fournier will be a helpful addi-
tion to the Jayhawks for the 2012
season. She was unable to play in
2011 because of NCAA transfer
regulations.
Even though she has yet to take
the court, coach Amy Hall-Holt
believes Fournier will be an in-
stant contributor for the Jayhawks
in the upcoming season.
I think she is going to transi-
tion really well, Hall-Holt said.
She is definitely a mentally sound
player, a mentally tough player, so
I think she will add a lot of com-
mand to the team.
Kansas did not have the best
season last year with a 9-13 re-
cord, but eight players are return-
ing from last season. And with the
addition of a proven winner like
Fournier, the team hopes there
will be a spark on the court.
After a disappointing season,
getting on the right track might
be difficult, but Fournier is aware
of the challenges ahead. After
missing last season, she is ready
to get back to the grind.
I feel like Im on my home turf
now, Fournier said. Im excited
to be able to compete again after
having sat out for a year.

MADRID Bullfghts returned
live to Spanish state TV with a glit-
tering and music-flled display on
Wednesday evening, six years afer
the fghts were banned from the
widely watched public channel.
Te broadcast featured three of
Spains most famous bullfghters
and bulls by a renowned breeder,
giving a boost to a tradition hit
hard by declining popularity and a
dire economic crisis.
Julian Lopez, known by his stage
name of El Juli, killed three hulk-
ing half-ton bulls raised by Victo-
riano del Rio.
He and fellow matador Ale-
jandro Talavante delighted the
crowd at northern city Valladolid
and were carried out of the bull-
ring on their assistants shoulders,
an honor accorded only to fghters
that have thrilled their audiences.
Lopez and the other fghters
had waived image rights payments
demanded in better economic
times to broadcast their battles, a
decision that helped Spains new
austerity-minded conservative
government in its drive to get the
fghts back on national TV and
promote bullfghting as important
cultural heritage.
I am now conscious of the fact
that the future of bullfghting is far
more important than my own fu-
ture, said Lopez.
Te RTVE broadcast was a big
victory for pro-bullfghting forces
that saw bullfghting banned alto-
gether this year in the northeastern
region of Catalonia; its a defeat for
animal rights activists who de-
nounce bullfghting as barbaric.
Te transmissions were halted
in 2006 by Spains previous Social-
ist administration, which said they
were costly and coincided with key
TV viewing hours for young chil-
dren.
But the Socialists were ousted
in November by voters outraged
over Spains nose-diving econo-
my, and the conservative Popular
Party that won in a landslide is led
by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy,
a staunch bullfghting defender.
Bullfghting afcionados hope
the revived national broadcasts
will spur renewed interest in the
fghts and reverse the trend of in-
creasingly graying audiences seen
in bullfghting rings with more and
more empty seats. Te tradition
has also sufered deep cutbacks
over the last several years by Span-
ish towns and cities that tradition-
ally fund fghts during the summer
months.
But bullfghting is steeped in
history, and the centuries-old
events that inspired the likes of
Goya, Picasso and Hemingway are
also popular in Colombia, Ecua-
dor, France and Mexico.
Wednesdays fght is one of the
last of this years season and RTVE
hasnt yet said how
many it will air
next year, though
supporters want
frequent broad-
casts, especially
from the most
famous bullrings
in Madrid and
Seville.
Hopefully now through Span-
ish TV our media can once again
generate enthusiasm among the
people, the masses, said Del Rio,
the breeder of the six bulls killed
Wednesday by El Juli and two
other matadors. Bullfghting, he
added, is something that changes
every second, a moment of life, a
momentary breath, that I believe
will once again take root among
the people.
Elite Spanish bullfghters are
millionaires who can make more
than 100,000 ($125,000 ) for each
appearance. El Juli this year started
paying half the cost of bullfght
tickets bought by people age 30
and under. For Wednesdays event,
he subsidized buses so Madrid fans
30 or under could get there for 25
($30) each for the 420-kilometer
(260-mile) round trip voyage.
Bullfghting foes who were en-
ergized last year afer Catalonia be-
came the second Spanish region to
ban bullfghts are decrying the live
broadcasts as a waste of air time
for spectacles squeezed by declin-
ing interest driven by generational
change and hard times.
Its a step backward from the
achievement of removing bull-
fghts from the television sched-
ule, said Aida Gascon, a spokes-
woman for the anti-bullfght group
AnimaNaturalis.
She called the move a despera-
tion efort to jumpstart interest in a
sport that is doomed to fail, claim-
ing bullfghts are followed mostly
by tourists
who attend
once and nev-
er return, or by
older people
from ages 60
to 90. When
all those peo-
ple stop they
will not be re-
placed by younger people.
Alfonso Nasarre, communica-
tions director of Spains state TV,
said the decision to include bull-
fghts in the schedule once again
was not politically motivated. Ac-
curate audience data will prove we
are right, he said, but he would not
confrm that bullfghts will form
part of the broadcasters perma-
nent output, saying only that bull-
fght- related news will be given a
higher priority.
Bullfghting advocates arent
easing up the pressure with their
coup of getting the fghts back on
TV.
Last March they presented a
petition with 500,000 signatures
to Parliament, demanding that
bullfghting be classifed as being
in the interest of preserving Span-
ish culture. Rajoys administration
is expected to introduce legisla-
tion that would give the events the
designation, which would over-
turn the Catalonia ban and a 1991
bullfghting ban for Spains Canary
Islands.
