When Nick Benson discusses
energy and power on Saturday, he
wont be referring to the football
team.
Benson, a sophomore from
Orlando, Fla., will miss Saturdays
home game to volunteer at the
10th annual Lawrence Energy
Conservation Fair. Benson is
the coordinator for the Resource
Conservation committee and is an
officer in Environs, the student
organization that promotes envi-
ronmental awareness.
Most people just arent aware
how much they can conserve,
Benson said. Were hoping that
through this fair, people who arent
aware of conservation will become
aware and people who are aware
will learn other ways that they can
reduce further.
The Energy Conservation Fair
is hosted by the City of Lawrence
Waste Reduction and Recycling
Division and will take place from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the City of
Lawrence Community Building,
located at 115 W. 11th St. The fair
will feature 40 exhibits and will
also feature presentations, work-
shops and performances all related
to energy conservation and educa-
tion.
Tickets will be required for
the Sustainable Homes Tour, but
admittance to the fair is free to
the public. To show the bene-
fits of public transportation, the
Lawrence Transit System will also
be offering free rides on the T all
day Saturday on all fixed routes.
Kathy Richardson, the waste
reduction and recycling opera-
tions supervisor, said in the past
this event has grown to attract
more than 600 attendees who enjoy
learning from a variety of present-
ers including builders, architects,
insulation experts, heating and
cooling contractors, government
agencies, non-profits and alterna-
tive fuel vehicle representatives.
The Universitys Center for
Sustainability will present at the
fair again this year speaking about
conservation around campus.
Jeffrey Severin, director for the
center, said they would be trying
to illustrate how the University is
addressing energy in a variety of
ways. Severin said that at the fair
they would be looking at some
of the research that is going on
around campus through the Energy
Council, through the Center
for Environmentally Beneficial
Catalysis and a variety of research
centers on campus that focus on
issues that either address renew-
able energy or energy consumption
and climate change.
Severin said in the past these
fairs have always provided a lot of
great information to anyone inter-
ested.
Environmental issues always
seem like such large challenges and
somewhat overwhelming, Severin
said. Energy conservation is some-
thing that we can all easily do in
our daily lives. Fairs like this really
help put that into perspective.
Eileen Horn, the sustainability
coordinator for the city, said the
fair provided a forum for people to
come and learn about energy con-
servation, new energy technologies
and ways to become more energy
efficient.
Horn said Nickie Lee, who
works in the State Energy Office
and will speak about Efficiency
Kansas, can educate students who
rent on how to save money and

Before movies, before television and even
before radio, there was theater. Modern
entertainment has transferred the spotlight
from the stage to the screen, but some still
see value in live drama, live acting and being
part of an interactive audience.
Friends of the Theatre (FROTH) is put-
ting on a show at 7:30 tonight at the Crafton-
Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall called
Pastiche. The production is a variety show
with a general theme of heart and music.
With two sections of 10 acts, it features
music, monologues, dance and more.
The show will raise money for the Jack
B. Wright Student Ticket Fund, which rais-
es money in collaboration with the KU
Endowment fund to give tickets to both
underprivileged students and students who
dont usually get a chance to go to the the-
ater.
John Staniunas, chair of the Universitys
department of theatre and film, said the
uniqueness of the theater experience cannot
be duplicated by movies or TV, and that is
why he believes in raising money for the stu-
dent ticket fund. He said there is something
special about seeing art come to life.
They are reflecting your life in the char-
acters that they play, Staniunas said. So you
are trying to find yourself in the experience
of the actors up on the stage.
The student ticket fund will disperse tick-
ets to both University students and Haskell
Indian Nations University students for vari-
ous productions throughout the year.
Staniunas said the fund was actually the
idea of Dave Ambler, the vice chancellor
emeritus for student affairs from 1977 to
2002. Ambler was given the chance to go to
a live theater production for the first time
when he was in college.
For the rest of his life, Ambler was an
active theater-goer, Staniunas said, and
Ambler decided to give that opportunity to
other students.
The fund is now named after Jack B.
Wright, a longtime University professor of
theater.
Staniunas said the fund is publicized
through Student Senate and always gives
tickets to the McNair Scholars Program. The
program is a federal organization designed
to help undergraduates prepare for doctoral
studies, specifically students who either have
financial need or are from groups typically
underrepresented in graduate education.
The ticket fund has only been around for
little more than a year, but Ngondi Kamatuka,
director of the Universitys McNair chapter,
said KU Endowment and Amblers original
fund have given tickets to McNair scholars
for about 10 years.
It has been beneficial for students and
faculty both to go to shows at the theater,
Kamatuka said. It exposes them to many
areas of the University lifestyle.
Students with financial aid are eligible
for free tickets from the fund, but students
who have simply never been to a University
Theatre show have a chance for free admis-
sion, too. Justin Cobb, a senior from Overland
Park, has never been to a University produc-
tion, which he said is because he rarely sees
advertisements for events.
Depending on the show, I would defi-
nitely take advantage of a free ticket, Cobb
said.
The Universitys McNair chapter gets an
average of 15 to 20 tickets each year. Faculty
members take the scholars to the show, and
afterwards they get together and discuss
it. Kamatuka said the educational growth
that comes from the theater is extremely
beneficial and students truly appreciate the
experience.
All proceeds from Pastiche and the post-
show reception will go directly to the fund.

Politician allegedly
violated KU policy
kevin yoder, candidate for
the 3rd congressional district
of kansas, may have broken
the Universitys media policy
Wednesday after allegedly
flming on campus without
permission.
University relations began
receiving reports around 3 p.m.
that yoder, who was student
body president during the
1998-1999 school year, was
with a group of people who
were flming in front of strong
Hall and the kansas memorial
Union.
i was walking across
Jayhawk boulevard and saw
him and a few of his staf with
a video camera, said nick
boehm, a senior from prairie
Village. there was a kid that
enthusiastically said, im a
Jayhawk and im a yoder voter,
into the camera.
todd cohen, director of
University relations, said yoder
did not have permission to flm
on campus.
Under our media policy,
they are supposed to get per-
mission to flm from University
relations, cohen said. i am
disappointed that didnt occur.
University relations staf
searched for yoder at the kan-
sas memorial Union but was
unable to locate him. cohen
said University relations had
yet to contact the yoder cam-
paign to confrm that the flm
crew was yoders.
cohen said he thought
University relations would not
pursue the matter further.
yoders previous request
to flm in the Ambler student
recreation Fitness center was
denied by University relations
because it violated a kansas
state board of regents and Uni-
versity campus facilities policy.
yoder was unavailable to
comment on the alleged
violation.

Preacher threatens
to burn Quran, again
GAinesViLLe, Fla. rev. terry
Jones, an anti-islamic preacher,
backed of and then threatened to
reconsider burning the Quran on
the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks,
angrily accusing imam muham-
mad musri, a muslim leader, of
lying to him thursday with a
promise to move an islamic center
and mosque away from new yorks
ground zero. the imam planning
the center denied such a deal.
Given what we are now hear-
ing, we are forced to rethink our
decision, Jones said. so as of right
now, we are not canceling the
event, but we are suspending it.
Jones did not say whether the
Quran burning could still be held
saturday, but he said he expected
musri to keep his word.
musri did not immediately
return a phone message seeking
comment thursday after Jones ac-
cused him of lying.

For the first time the Rock
Chalk Revue advisory board hopes
to unite the KU community with a
University-wide outdoor benefit
concert tonight to raise money
for the United Way of Douglas
County.
Mark Campbell, executive pro-
ducer for the Rock Chalk Revue
advisory board and a senior from
Leawood, said Rock Chalk Revue
isnt only a Greek life event, but
rather an event for the entire
University to enjoy.
We are making Lawrence a
better place with the money we
raise, Campbell said.
The Sigma Chi Fraternity house,
1439 Tennessee St., will host the
event on its lawn. The concert will
feature the mashup, remix duo
called The White Panda. Doors
open at 8 p.m., and students can
purchase tickets for $15 at the
door. Tom Evans, a member of
The White Panda, said the duo
produces music similar to the
popular group called Girl Talk.
Last year, the Rock Chalk Revue
raised about $47,000 throughout
the year for the United Way. Joe
Moore, executive fund raising
coordinator and a senior from
Wichita, said the organization
hopes to raise $75,000 this year.
Pre-show ticket sales have already
raised almost $40,000.
It will get the student body
together to help the community,
Moore said.
Rock Chalk Revue is one of
the oldest student-run fundraising
groups at the University, this year
being its 62nd year. Each spring,
the Rock Chalk Revue hosts a
musical variety show containing
five acts from different student
organizations. Partnership with
the United Way started about
25 years ago. The United Way
supports 21 nonprofit organiza-
tions throughout Douglas County
ranging from the Humane Society
to meal programs for seniors.
Erika Dvorske, CEO of the
United Way of Douglas County,
said colleges around the nation
envy the historical relationship
between the Rock Chalk Revue
and the United Way of Douglas
County, not only because of
the fundraising but also the
collaborative efforts of the various
student groups involved in the
organizations.
We are proud that the stu-
dents want to be involved in this
way, Dvorske said. It has a great
impact on the community.

In past Eid celebrations, wor-
shipers have stepped into the
Lawrence Islamic Center and sud-
denly found themselves engulfed
in the excitement of the holiday
season. The entire place has been
swarming with people. Loud voices
and the smell of homemade foods
have been wafting through the air
as family and friends gleefully greet
one another with a hug and the tra-
ditional saying of Eid Mubarak, or
Happy Eid.
It is like a rainbow of colors,
said Khatija Vaid, a resident of
Kansas City, Kan. Thats the best
way to describe it because every-
bodys wearing different colors.
Everyones really happy.
Today is the first day of the
Islamic holiday Eid, a three-day
celebration that marks the end of
Ramadan. It consists of a worship
service, a familial gift exchange and,
in the case of the Lawrence Islamic
Center, a giant brunch to break the
month-long Ramadan fast.
The first day is very early in
the morning starting at 7, said
Ibrahim Alanqar, a senior from the
Gaza Strip, and president of the
KU Student Muslim Association.
People gather in the mosque or
Islamic center and start praising
God. Then around 8 we pray and
hear a speech about how we cel-
ebrate Eid.
In keeping with the fourth pil-
lar of Islam, Eid participants also
give a Zakat, or monetary dona-
tion, for those less fortunate than
themselves.
Its money we pay so that poor
people can also have a good Eid
day, Vaid said.
The holiday provides all types
of people with the opportunity
to unite under a single religious
belief.
I see so much diversity, said
Asma Zaidi, an associate profes-
sor of biochemistry. Theres so
much unity with Eid in that were
all experiencing joy for the same
cause.
With this years holiday coincid-
ing with the anniversary of 9/11,
members of the Lawrence Islamic
Center are well aware that some
people might have mixed feelings
about the celebration.
I think right now its actually a
good thing that we have all of these
mixed opinions or biases, Zaidi
said. It means that people are pay-
ing attention and once you get that
attention you can start to focus on
solutions. Its time for us to explain
our side of things.

Student Success, the Universitys
student services organization, is
looking to create some more suc-
cess of its own.
Tis summer, Marlesa A. Roney,
the vice provost for Student Suc-
cess, initiated changes in more
than 20 of Student Success depart-
ments. A realignment placed all of
its deparments within three areas
advising and academic support;
health and wellness; and recruit-
ment, scholarships and fnancial
aid. Before, each department acted
more like a separate entity.
With the reorganization, Stu-
dent Success hopes to strengthen
its presence among struggling
students and help meet Chancel-
lor Bernadette Gray-Littles goals
of increased retention and gradu-
ation rates. Jefrey Vitter, provost
and executive vice chancellor, said
Student Succes would use data-
based, real time programs such
as an early alert system run by fac-
ulty members to help achieve
this.
Under the early alert system,
once a faculty member recognized
a student had a problem for
example, if the student had poor
attendance or came to class smell-
ing of alcohol they would notify
Student Success, which would then
reach out to the student, assess the
problem and find a solution.
Lori Reesor, associate vice pro-
vost and head of the advising and
academic support deparment, said
they would ask the referred stu-
dents, for example, if they had
thought about tutoring or using
other Student Success services.
Notification about holds is
another service that Roney said
Student Services would like to
improve. Roney said they would
like to implement an e-mail noti-
fication system, for example, to
let a student know well in advance
about parking or tuition holds so
they could take care of the prob-
lems before enrollment.
Student Success also took a
more hands-on approach at the
beginning of the school year to
strengthen its student presence.
During the first weeks of school,
Brenda Maigaard, assistant vice
provost for Financial Aid and
Scholarships, organized help desks
near Strong Hall to create a point
of contact as students entered the
building.
During those 10 business days,
University representatives assisted
2,468 students, Maigaard said.
Maigaard said students asked
questions about class locations,
directions to various building on
campus and for general assistance,
such as where to go for academic
advising, financial aid, enrollment
and paying a bill.
Sam Shelton, a freshman from
Olathe, said he found the informa-
tion useful.
It was really helpful because
they told me where to go so I
wouldnt be wandering around for
hours, Shelton said.
Reesor said more efective mar-
keting could also go a long way
toward achieving a greater Student
Success presence. She said she of-
ten heard from seniors that they
didnt know about various services
and that there seemed to be a dis-
connect between what Student
Success ofered and the amount
of students who took advantage of
those resources.

ENERGY (Continued fRom 1a)
Student Success realigns
CAMPUS
conserve energy. Efficiency Kansas
is a new, low-cost loan program
that helps Kansans make energy-
efficient improvements to homes,
rental units, or small businesses.
Horn said Lee can help students see
how they can work with their land-
lords to make their rental units more
efficent and in turn save money.
Both Horn and Benson said they
were extremely excited about Westar
Energys presentation at the fair.
Westar will showcase its new
smart grid investment grant pro-
gram. Lawrence residents are the
first and only residents within
Westars service territory to receive
smart grids.
I think this is going to be a huge
thing for Lawrence, Benson said.
Smart Grid technology is a state-
of-the-art approach to managing
electricity systems, according to
Westars website. The website states
customer benefits will include
enhanced service reliability and
response to outages, daily energy
use and cost information, option-
al services such as text and email
alerts for bill trends and outages,
and web portal with energy savings
tips, carbon footprint calculator and
neighborhood comparative analysis
information.
Smart grids will allow you to
change your energy usage and save
money, which is an opportunity we
never had before, Horn said.
In addition to innovative energy-
saving technology, some presenters
and vendors will be there solely to
educate the community.
For Benson, anything, no matter
how small it is, can make a differ-
ence.
The slightest thing that you can
do or are willing to do is good
enough, Benson said. Thats
money in your pocket that you
could, I dont know, go spend on a
football ticket.

Sitcoms get edgier themes
Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES A few net-
work comedies have seen success
in recent years, such as Glee
and Modern Family. But overall,
launching new sitcoms is tough.
Dont expect it to get much
better this year with only six new
comedies on the 2010-11 TV
schedules for the five networks.
That brings this seasons total to 21
comedies on the networks, com-
pared to 49 a decade ago.
Networks are turning to edgier
themes this season lost jobs,
overeating, baby daddies, foul-
mouthed parents in an attempt
to make sitcoms that are more
relatable to viewers.
The new CBS comedy Mike &
Molly features plus-size actors
as the romantic leads: Billy
Gardell and Melissa McCarthy.
Its a change from how networks
have traditionally cast overweight
actors, often seen as the best
friend or enemy.
I wanted to write a show about
two people at the beginning of a
relationship, says series creator
Mark Roberts.
Executive producer Chuck
Lorre adds the normal Hollywood
approach would be to cast Chris
ODonnell and Courteney Cox as
the people who meet at Overeaters
Anonymous.
In this case we had the courage
and, I think, the wisdom to just
cast people that are just people
trying to make their lives better
and find someone that they can
love and be loved by, Lorre says.
It may be odd for television, but
I hope its reflective of some kind
of reality that people will experi-
ence.
The other new CBS comedy,
$#*! My Father Says, based on
the popular blog by Justin Halpern
thats a collection of the outland-
ish things his father says, has
already attracted the wrath of the
watchdog group Parents Teacher
Council because of its suggestive
name.
Star William Shatner would
prefer the show use even edgier
language because its the way most
people talk.
I wish they would call it
(expletive), Shatner says. Ive got
grandchildren. I brought up three
girls. Theyve all got kids. And you
say Boopy doo-doo, youve got to
make poo-poo. Come on. Make
poo-poo in the toilet. Eventually,
poo-poo becomes (expletive).
Go take a (expletive), and youll
feel better. You say that to your
kids. The word (expletive) is
around us. It isnt a terrible term.
Its a natural function. Why are we
pussyfooting?

espite the group
projects, papers and
fnal exams, frst dates
are arguably one of the most
stressful experiences during a
college career. Out of all the many
pressures that come with a date,
one of the most troubling is
fnding an outft that will wow
your potential signifcant other.
I cant guarantee that your
date will be a success, but I can
help you put together an outft
that will give you the confdence,
and style, for the perfect date.
The Casual Date
Casual dates, such as hanging
out at home and watching
movies or going to a fun
restaurant like Dempseys or
Te Mad Greek, can be tricky to
dress appropriately for. Avoid
dressing up too much or you
could make your date feel
uncomfortable about under-
dressing.
However, dressing too casually
may make it seem like the date
isnt important to you. Tink of
your go-to outft for spending
time with friends and take it up a
notch. Guys, trade the basketball
shorts you wear to class and
around the house for a nice
clean pair of shorts. Ladies, do
the same for the running shorts
or leggings you like to lounge
in. Te staple casual date outft
is a T-shirt and jeans, so stand
out and wear a nicer shirt or a
pullover sweater.
The Formal Date
When going out to a nice
restaurant or dancing, dress like
you would when outing out to
the clubs, but focus on dressing
more polished and less revealing.
Avoid looking desperate, but
dont dress too stify. Guys, wear
a patterned shirt and some nice,
light gray slacks. Ladies should
wear a vibrant skirt or dress, or
follow the men and wear cheery
colored pants and a shirt. Be
careful that your formal outft
doesnt look businessy, or your
date may think youre boring.
Te key to achieving the perfect
format attire is accessorizing,
so guysdont forget to wear
your dress shoes and socks,
uniquely hued tie, and belt. And
ladies, wear some sparkly or
patent leather heels and a cute
headband to jazz up your look.
The Mystery Date
If you dont know exactly what
kind of date youre going on,
dont be afraid to ask your date
for some more details. You dont
want to over or under dress.
If you still dont know whats
appropriate, wear something that
can be interpreted as dressy or
casual by meeting in the middle.
A simple dress for girls or a nice
t-shirt with dark wash jeans for
guys works for most occasions.
Bring a sweater in case you need
to dress your outft up, or if you
get cold.
Te most important rule of
date attire is to avoid looking
like youre trying too hard. Its
important to be relaxed and
calm so you can enjoy your date.
Dont wear anything thats out of
your comfort zone or that you
wouldnt normally wear. Te
key to beginning a successful
relationship is fnding someone
you can act and dress like
yourself around.

U Athletics made the
right decision when they
hired former Lawrence
police chief, Ron Olin, for the
newly created position, director of
security/internal controls.
Olin retired from his position
as police chief Aug. 31 and began
working for the University on
Sept. 1.
According to an article in the
Lawrence Journal-World, Olins
new position with the Athletics
Department will have him
identifying weaknesses that may
put the department as risk for
reputational, security or regulatory
problems.
Jim Marchiony, associate
athletics director for the
department, said Olin will be
advising the department on
event management and risk
management, as well as advising
the department on where they
need to make improvements or
changes.
He will ensure the best level of
security for student athletes and
Kansas Athletics, Marchiony said.
Marchiony said that last springs
ticketing scandal had nothing to
do with the creation of the position
and that Perkins began discussing
a potential position within the
department for Olin two years ago.
While the ticketing scandal may
not have been the reason for the
creation of this new position, Olin
should be very aware of the inner
workings of the department and
should ensure that the staf is held
to the utmost ethical standard. Te
University cannot aford another
embarrassment.
Olin was a good choice for this
position. He is a 1975 graduate
of the University and has taught
several classes at KU over the years.
Because of his history with KU,
Olin is prepared and aware of what
the University and its students will
expect of him in this position.
Marchiony said Olins integrity,
outstanding knowledge and
reputation in the security feld were
all reasons that he made such a
great candidate for the position.
All of his experience was
perfect for what we wanted to do,
Marchiony said.
Te position was not directly
created for Olin, but Marchiony
said the department is lucky to
have a man with Olins experience
living in Lawrence and that the
department would be giving up a
great opportunity if they did not
utilize his talent.
Taking the initiative to create
the position was a smart move for
the Athletics Department. It shows
that they care about the safety and
security of student athletes and that
they, like the rest of the University,
will not stand for another
embarrassing scandal and are
working to ensure that something
like that will not happen again.
Students should feel good
that the department is making
eforts to ensure security in the
Athletics Department. Especially
during this transitional period
the athletics department is going
through with the early retirement
for former athletics director, Lew
Perkins. Students should let Olin
know what they expect from him
in his new position and from the
department in the future.

Excellent opinion column.
I agree. People cop out of dealing with their relationships more
and more thanks to the outs provided by technology.
Everyone wants faster solutions to relationship issues, yet no one
realizes that you have to deal with everything as it comes. You deal
with the small issues immediately so they dont develop into large
ones.
But ... in this day and age, so many people dont seem to want to
take the time to make things work.
Hopefully, thats not true for our generation.

was fighting. Let the Islamofascists rally. Their recruiting is
completely dependent on the attitudes that have been expressed
on this board attitudes of cultural superiority, vindictive-

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
President Obama revealed
the details of his latest plan to
jumpstart the slowing economic
recovery, proposing more than
$180 billion dollars in tax cuts
for businesses and infrastructure
projects.
Not surprisingly, Congressional
Republicans have already come
out in opposition to the plan.
Ironically, the party of tax cuts
seems to forget this in a polarized
election year in which any chance
of a legislative victory for President
Obama will be obstructed.
While Obamas plan is ambi-
tious, the major development of
the week has to be his drawing
of a line in the sand against the
extension of the Bush-era tax cuts
for the wealthiest two percent of
Americans.
Tuesday, the president said he
wouldnt allow the huge tax breaks
for the rich to continue, signaling
he will allow a return to the rates of
the Clinton era.
By no coincidence, the Clinton
era was a time of unprecedented
economic growth.
For this proposal, Obama must
be given the highest praise.
While some Congressional
Democrats have been wavering on
the issue, a signal from the leader
of the Democratic Party that there
will be no compromise on this is-
sue should rally the Party to ensure
these tax cuts are not extended.
And rightly so. In a time with
almost 10 percent unemployment,
a never-ending housing crisis and
the largest inequality of wealth we
have seen in decades, why should
the most fortunate among us enjoy
lucrative tax rates?
Te economy is not and has
never been stimulated by lining the
pockets of the super-rich.
Te trickle-down theory of
wealth has been repudiated time
and again.
History has shown that the key
to a strong economy is a strong
middle class with the power and
the confdence to spend.
If the enormous inequality of
wealth and ever-shrinking middle
class were not reason enough to let
the tax cuts for the rich expire, how
about the national debt?
Conservatives love to scream
about the ballooning national debt
and place the blame on Democrats
for their spending and stimulus.
Have they no memory?
Do they not remember that
when President Bush took ofce,
Clinton had lef behind a budget
SURPLUS?
It was two unnecessary wars that
cost billions of dollars a month that
set of the huge increase in govern-
ment spending.
And how did President Bush ad-
dress the issue of funding the war?
He cut taxes for the group that
brings in the highest revenue!
Te stimulus undoubtedly
aided the national debt, but the
tax structure created under the
Bush administration along with
the horribly expensive wars is the
root cause.
President Obama is right to let
these tax cuts expire.
If conservatives are serious
about cutting the defcit and stimu-
lating the economy, it would be
nice to see them get tough and do
what needs to be done, not babble
on about cutting programs like
Social Security and unemployment
benefts.
Te Presidents decision not to
compromise signals once again he
is on the side of the 98 percent of
Americans who are simply trying
to make ends meet, while the GOP
continues to suckle at the teet of
the wealthy donors who put them
in ofce.

Like People or Cosmopolitan
magazines of Western societies,
African societies portray their cul-
tural perspective of beauty and cul-
ture through popular images and
art. Now students of the University
of Kansas can see glimpses of those
perspectives in a new exhibit at the
Spencer Museum of Art.
African Healing Journeys:
Historical and Contemporary
Responses to Disease, opened
Wednesday as a part of the inter-
national conference Medical
Anthropology in Global Africa:
Current trends in Scholarship and
Practice.
The exhibit showcases four dif-
ferent areas of African culture and
how African societies function
when it comes to illness, health
and community. The four sec-
tions include: The Measurement of
Humanity, where beauty and death
are focused on; Living in Balance
with Nature; Sickness and Healing;
and Sickness when something else
is going on.
The artwork on display came
from the Spencer Museum of Arts
own collection, along with con-
tributed work from the Kauffman
Museum in North Newton.
Included will be culturally related
masks, paintings and carvings.
Professor John Janzen is the
curator of the exhibit. He said he
hoped this exhibit would show
how every society on this planet
has a way of dealing with hardship
and show that Africa has some of
the most unique solutions.
Each of these themes has its
counterpart in our society, Janzen
said. But the particulars are going
to be different.
For example, Janzen said the
modern American view of beauty
tends to be thin, while in African
culture, pregnant women and more
shapely women are the symbols of
beauty because they represent fer-
tility and wealth.
In todays Western society the
perception is different. Meghan
Crylen, a senior from St. Louis,
said beauty today is centered com-
pletely on physical beauty.
Its more about appearanc-
es than anything, said Crylen.
People do things that are bad for
their bodies just to look good.
Besides beauty, the art on display
in this exhibit has other connec-
tions to todays society and how
people deal with problems in the
Western world.
For African societies, illness
doesnt necessarily mean that an
infection has created the affliction
a person might have, according to
Janzen, who is a medical anthro-
pologist.
The fourth section of the exhib-
it, Sickness when something else
is going on, showcases the many
forms of illness that people experi-
ence and what causes them.
Some illnesses such as panic
attacks are a more social disorder.
Janzen said the African societ-
ies with work in this exhibit use
a Western equivalent of support
groups to help their communities
with these problems.
Janzen said many times Western
societies go straight for a medici-
nal remedy whereas many African
societies look for an alternative,
more natural cause and cure. Celka
Straughn, the director of academic
programs at the Spencer Museum
of Art, will help educate visitors
about this.
There is no singular notion on
what disease is, Straughn said.
It can be dealt with culturally or
medically.
Students like Emily Ulvang, a
senior from Overland Park, agree
that Western medicine isnt always
the best cure for an ailment.
Most people go straight to
modern medicine, Ulvang said. A
lot of times it is better to try some-
thing more natural like changing
your diet or exercising.
The exhibit will be on display
until Oct. 3. The international con-
ference Medical Anthropology in
Global Africa: Current trends in
Scholarship and Practice will be
held Sept. 17 and 18.

Eventually, smokers could have
a diferent option for preventing
lung cancer.
Emily Scott is researching, with
the support of federal grants, the
possibility of a new drug that would
alleviate the harm of nicotine.
One in fve Americans currently
smoke and adults aged 18 to 24
make up 21.4 percent of smokers.
Both numbers remain steady, ac-
cording to recent reports from the
Center for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Were trying to stop the pro-
tein that converts nicotine into the
cancer-causing molecule, Scott
said. It wouldnt treat lung cancer,
but it would prevent it for those
people who cant or wont give up
tobacco.
In August 2009, Scott, an asso-
ciate professor in the department
of medicinal chemistry, added a
$300,000 American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act grant to the
more than $1 million already be-
ing used to fund her lung cancer
research.
Without the help of federal and
private funding, Scott said her re-
search would not have been possible.
Te stimulus act, approved by
former President George W. Bush
and implemented by President Ba-
rack Obama in February of 2009,
allocated $787 billion to be spent
over a period of a couple of years.
Of the $787 billion, $275 billion
went to contracts, grants and
loans, according to www.Recov-
ery.gov.
As of Sept. 3, 74 ARRA awards
have been given to Lawrence re-
searchers, total-
ing $44.7 million.
In 2009, the
University re-
ceived over $200
million for the frst
time with a total
of $207,092,922,
according to the
sponsored re-
search report pre-
pared by the ofce of research and
graduate studies.
Preliminary reports suggest that
in the fscal year 2010, which end-
ed in June, the University received
$238 million. Te unusually high
amount is mainly due to ARRA
grants, Kevin Boatright said.
Boatright, the director of com-
munications for the Ofce of Re-
search and Graduate Studies, said
that this has been an outstanding
year in terms of fnancial awards.
Weve really been grateful to
the federal government for hav-
ing done this, Boatright said.
It helped us keep some good
research projects going, as well
as maintained or created jobs in
many areas.
Much of research funding goes
towards salaries, which includes
graduate student salaries, salaries
for students who are considered
post-doctorate and summer sala-
ries.
Te funding also contributes
to equipment, construction and
laboratory hall renovation.
Large, external grants are the
only way to do research, Scott
said. Tis University would not
be a research institute otherwise.
Scotts ARRA
grant requires that
the money be spent
by the end of this cal-
endar year, although
her research wont
conclude then. She
said it is a long-term
process to develop
a drug and they are
still in the research
lab phase, trying to understand
and visibly see what the protein
looks like in order to know how to
inhibit it.
Scott explained that when
people smoke, they smoke for the
addictive agent nicotine, which
is inhaled and then distributed
throughout the body. Nicotine
does not cause cancer, but as the
body works to get rid of the nico-
tine, some proteins in the lung
convert the nicotine into some-
thing that is carcinogenic.
Te chemical that is created
from nicotine modifes DNA and
goes into lung cells, adding itself
to a DNA adduct. Adducts cause
problems when DNA goes to copy
itself or add proteins. Ultimately,
the cell replicates itself uncontrol-
lably, resulting in lung cancer.
For Aaron Harris, life-enhancing
research such as Scotts is one of ev-
ery major universitys obligations.
Harris, a senior from Kansas
City, Kan., said research and the
grants they require are important.
College isnt just to get you
a job, Harris said. It also gives
students and researchers a chance
to make scientifc and historic
breakthroughs that contribute to
society.

defense, but Torbush is looking
forward to the matchup.
Its a fun week in a lot of ways
because it makes your players be
very, very technique- and align-
ment- sound, Torbush said.
Last year against Torbushs
Mississippi State defense, eight
Yellow Jackets carried the ball for
a combined 213 yards and four
touchdowns. Mississippi State lost
to Georgia Tech, with a final score
of 42-31.
Im old enough that the way I
came up in coaching was against
wishbone, split-back option,
Torbush said. This is the type of
offense you always felt like you
coached your best in terms of
alignment and assignment foot-
ball.
Just last week, the Yellow Jackets
steamrolled their FCS opponent
South Carolina State 41-10 behind
senior quarterback Joshua Nesbitts
performance on the ground.
Nesbitt completed only one pass
for eight yards, but his 16 rushes
for 130 yards and three touch-
downs put the other Yellow Jacket
rushers (all 11 of them) to shame.
Nesbitt throws the ball well
enough that he can get you in
trouble not only with the deep ball
but the short ball as well, Torbush
said. But the number one thing
you have to do is stop the running
game or you have no chance.
The Jayhawks go into Saturday
in quarterback flux. Coach Turner
Gill named freshman Jordan Webb
the starter one week after he said
sophomore Kale Pick earned the
job. Webb replaced Pick late in the
Jayhawks 6-3 loss to North Dakota
State last week and went 6 for 11
with 59 yards passing.
Gill and offensive coordinator
Chuck Long have said the offense
will be tailored to their quarter-
backs skill set. Webb, who has a
pass-first mentality, does not know
how much different the offense
will look with him at the helm.
We dont have our entire game
plan in yet, but Im sure the coaches
will have something ready, Webb
said after Wednesdays practice.
Perhaps the man most prepared
to deal with an option-heavy
opponent is Gill, who perfect-
ed the craft as a quarterback at
Nebraska in the early '80s. Gill
said there are similarities between
the double option offense he ran
as a Cornhusker and the triple
option offense Georgia Tech now
sports.
Youre only going to have so
many possessions on offense just
because of their running attack,
Gill said. Youre going to have less
time on the clock. We definitely
need to limit their big plays on
offense.
Senior cornerback Chris Harris
had four tackles and one sack
against the more traditional North
Dakota State offense. Harris has seen
numerous offenses during his 30
consecutive starts for the Jayhawks
but nothing like Georgia Tech.
You have to beat Georgia Tech
by being disciplined, Harris said.
Everybody is going to have a
responsibility. A linebacker might
have the quarterback this time.
Somebody might be watching
the pitch. Youve got to stay dis-
ciplined; you cant try to be the
hero. You have to stay focused on
your job.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
After going 1-1 in each of the
past two weekends, the soccer team
is looking for some consistency
this weekend in Las Vegas.
Kansas (2-2) will play Cal State
Northridge (2-3) today and then
face Oregon (2-1-2) on Sunday in
the UNLV Nike Rebel Classic.
The Jayhawks are not overlook-
ing CSUN. Coach Mark Francis
said the team has not even thought
about Sundays game; it is focusing
on Friday.
Northridge is a very good team,
Francis said. They are going to
present a real tough challenge for
us.
CSUN defeated Pepperdine 2-1
last weekend, which is the same
score from Kansas win against
Pepperdine in last seasons opener.
Francis was pleased with the
teams performance in Illinois this
past weekend. He said a few players
lost focus at times, which allowed
Illinois State to break down the
defense and score two goals in the
Jayhawks loss.
Before the season started, Francis
said he emphasized physicality in
the middle and offensive thirds of
the field.
He liked how the midfield and for-
wards battled against Northwestern
in Kansas 2-1 victory.
Weve made some progress in
that area, the battling and the com-
peting part, Francis said.
This week the team is fine-tun-
ing some of the problem areas,
especially its focus.
The Jayhawks have a few play-
ers who have been kept out with
injuries, but have been working
and practicing to get back in game
shape. Francis hopes to get some of
them back for this weekend.
One player that is close to return-
ing is senior midfielder Rachel
Morris. Francis said she had been
practicing this week and hed like to
play her as soon as shes ready.
Cressy returns
The team got some offensive
firepower back last weekend when
junior forward Emily Cressy took
the field for the first time this sea-
son. Cressy was out for undisclosed
reasons.
Francis is glad to have her back.
She has a lot of confidence and
a lot of composure on the ball,
Francis said. I think its something
we really needed up front.
Commentary
Football should use
adversity to motivate
I
ts been a tough week for
Kansas Athletics.
After footballs loss to
North Dakota State made
worse by the fact that rivals
Missouri and Kansas State both
won , the departure of Lew
Perkins and a game against No.
15 Georgia Tech looming on
Saturday, it seems like this will
be a week wed rather forget.
And possibly the start of one of
the seemingly longest football
seasons in recent history.
I would like to say that we
could win this weekend and
return to being a successful
program. But this is Georgia
Tech and we just arent there
yet. I love to root for the
underdog, but I would, hon-
estly, be happy if we just made
it a competition. Im not saying
its impossible for us to pull
off a win bigger upsets have
happened but I think that it
would prove a lot if we could
just keep it within a few touch-
downs.
And we have a chance to do
that. One thing that is good for
any team is having a chip on its
shoulder.
Theres nothing more moti-
vational than cant. When my
mom told me that I couldnt
have a cookie before dinner, I
had to eat the whole jar. When
some blond, plastic fashion
expert tells me I cant wear
white after Labor Day, I go out
and buy the whitest pair of
jeans I can find to wear in the
fall. Cant is the most moti-
vational word in the English
vocabulary.
If I were going into a game
knowing that everyone thought
I couldnt keep up with a team,
I would do everything in my
power to beat my opponent. If
I heard fans boo my efforts on
the field, I would make sure I
didnt give them an opportunity
to do that again.
We have quarterback issues.
We have an uncertain offensive
line and a brand new coaching
staff, but we also have some-
thing to prove. And maybe I
am giving too much credit to
the underdog factor, but I do
think it is an important one.
Right now, all we Jayhawk
fans can do is hope that the
mistakes we saw last Saturday
were first game mistakes, even
if they were against a FCS
school like North Dakota State.
And hope that our team straps
on its gear tomorrow with
something to prove.

offensive sting
Coaches familiar with tech option
I
was worried about you, Kansas fans. I
was worried that you might take last
Saturdays loss and go into a funk.
No one likes a morose Lawrence, except
Missouri and Kansas State fans, so I called
the only person I know who has experience
with what you are all going through: my
brother Mike Dwyer. His initials, M.D., far
surpass his education, B.A., but they lend
to his nickname Doc, which is close to the
role I hoped he would play for you.
You see, Docs college education came
about 10 hours west of here in Boulder,
Colo., and in his senior year, he saw current
Colorado coach Dan Hawkins take the helm.
Hawkins, like Turner Gill, lost his first game
as coach in the Big 12. Also like Gill, he lost
it in embarrassing fashion to an FCS (then-
Division 1-AA) team from the seemingly
endless wilderness a few states north and
west of Kansas (Montana State, in that case).
So, I called my brother up, and the first
thing he said before he even said hello
was, Man, I know how much that sucks.
And I said, Doc, Im worried about my
readers.
Or something vaguely similar to that.
I went on about how Kansas fans would be
in for a long season, going to every game with
the knowledge, or at least the assumption,
that the odds were stacked highly against
them should the team perform as abysmally
as it did Saturday.
And then Doc said something that sur-
prised me.
No, no, he corrected me. Youre right,
there probably wont be many wins. But youre
looking at this all wrong. I had more fun that
season than any of my others at CU.
Naturally, I thought he was crazy. What?
Come on. Losing cant be more fun than
winning. Wheres the competitive spirit?
He then reminded me that he was a stud
on the intramural dodgeball championship
team that year, and that his competitive
thirst was quenched through that pursuit.
Then he offered advice. It is easy, he said,
to give up hope and stop going to games
and generally not care about the prospects
of your football team. It is way more fun,
though, to give up hope, keep going to
games, cheer desperately for your football
team, but expect a loss each week.
If you win: awesome. Jubilation. Knock
yourself out, be embarrassingly proud of
getting a tally in the win column. Charge
the field and take victory laps. Thats what
Colorado did. They won two games that year,
against Iowa State and Texas Tech. When the
final bell sounded, fans charged the field and
hoisted then-quarterback Bernard Jackson
onto their shoulders both times. Jackson,
coincidentally, wore No. 7.
There are two morals to this story, at least
that I immediately picked up on.
First, if you expect the worst, you cant get
let down. That doesnt work for everything,
but in this case, its applicable.
Second, booze helps.

Coach takes on disappointed team and fans
mcclatchy-triBune
CLEVELAND _ The drive from
Cleveland Clinic Courts to the
Ritz-Carlton is typically brief and
mundane. Except for the night of
July 8.
While LeBron James was busy
with his Decision, Byron Scott
had plenty of his own to make. The
new coach of the Cavaliers was
assembling a coaching staff, pre-
paring for the summer league and
temporarily staying at the posh
hotel in downtown Cleveland. He
had shut off the television in his
office at the Cavaliers facility a
few minutes after James said he
was leaving and hadnt thought
much more about it.
Then he tried to get back to
his hotel room. The James ban-
ner that covered the side of the
Landmark Office Tower, across
the street from Quicken Loans
Arena, had suddenly become the
target of Cavs fans venom.
Scott drove by in awe at a line of
police cars protecting the banner
_ and the building _ as angry fans
cursed, hurled rocks at and gave
the finger to James picture.
Now, as he prepares to open his
first training camp at the end of
this month, Scott is in the awk-
ward position of balancing the bit-
tersweet past with a painful pres-
ent. Fans are still stunned and sick
over James departure. Interest in
the Cavs is suddenly lower than it
has been in at least seven years.
Scott, the Los Angeles native
with three Lakers championships,
has arrived to the party as the
janitor is folding up the chairs and
sweeping away the confetti.
I wasnt emotionally attached
because I never coached LeBron,
he said. The people here had such
an investment in him that I could
understand their feelings. I think
most people here felt like it was
a kick in the teeth. I could totally
understand that.
Scott, 49, led the New Jersey Nets
to consecutive Eastern Conference
championships. He was the NBAs
Coach of the Year two years ago
with the New Orleans Hornets.
Now he is faced with the dif-
ficult task of making basket-
ball matter again in Cleveland.
Soothing the hurt and bringing
fans back to Quicken Loans Arena
wont be easy.
The way we get the fans back
is by what we do on the court, he
said. If we go out there and we
play hard every single night and
give 110 percent and they see that,
they see the energy every night,
it gives them hope of being a
much better team from start to
finish.
Before he was drafted by the
Lakers, Scott spent his youth
sneaking into their games at the
Great Western Forum, which
was 14 blocks from home. Scott
knows what its like to win a
championship for the home-
town team. Now James never
will.
Theres no greater feeling
than walking around the city you
grew up in and people calling you
champ, Scott said. He lost all
that. Hell probably win a cham-
pionship or two, but coming back
here, it wont be the same. No
matter what he says right now, 20
years from now, hell look back,
and this is something hell think
about.
Scott was introduced as the
Cavaliers coach July 2. He knew
full well that it was a risk, that
there was no guarantee James was
coming back. Scott could have
waited another week for James to
decide before choosing whether to
take the job.
Scott worked as an analyst at
ESPN so it was his job to critique
the Cavaliers performance in their
playoff loss to the Boston Celtics.
He says the Cavaliers didnt
quit; the Celtics were simply the
better team. But he also knew the
early exit meant Mike Brown had
little chance of surviving.
As good a job as he had done,
the bottom line here at that time
was to win championships, Scott
said. I know first-hand, the
coaches go first.
Without James, the Cavaliers
seem closer to rebuilding than
winning, but Scott still believes
he took the right job at the right
time.
Without James, the Cavaliers
are viewed as hopeless. Dime
Magazine recently compared
the Cavaliers to the Toronto
Raptors as the worst teams in
the Eastern Conference.
Scott points to Mo Williams
and Antawn Jamison as for-
mer All-Stars, the growth in
J.J. Hickson and the hustle of
Anderson Varejao as reasons
to believe the Cavaliers are still
playoff contenders. He gets
upset reading predictions of
how awful they will be this year.
The players do, too.
Damn right we get (mad),
Williams said. But at the same
time, we understand the reality
of the situation. We lost a big
piece.
Heisman winner still
not ready to play
In listening to penn State play-
ers talk this week about Alabamas
running game, they made it clear
they were treating running back
Trent Richardson with the same
respect as 2009 Heisman Trophy
winner mark Ingram.
That will come in handy for
Saturday nights game between
the two prestigious programs.
Ingram is likely out; coach Nick
Saban said Wednesday he was
probably not going to be ready
to play against the 18th-ranked
Nittany Lions as he continues to
recover from left knee surgery.
Ingram underwent an ar-
throscopic procedure on Aug.
31 to repair an injury sufered in
practice the previous day. He was
not at practice Wednesday during
the time the media were allowed
to watch, but he did some running
the day before.
Well continue to (monitor) him
day-to-day, Saban said. He hasnt
had any swelling or problems.
If he can continue to progress ...
he might be ready by the game
but he wont be able to practice
enough.
However, the absence of Ingram
doesnt necessarily mean the
Lions are breathing more easily.
The top-ranked crimson Tide
doesnt lose any speed with
Richardson, who is on the cover
of Sports Illustrated this week. The
5-foot-11, 224-pound sophomore,
who gained 751 rushing yards and
scored eight touchdowns last sea-
son as a backup, ran for 66 yards
in 10 carries in Saturday nights
opening win over San Jose State.
Hes a great back, real fast,
penn State defensive tackle Ollie
Ogbu said. Hes just like mark In-
gram. Theres really no diference.
Well have our hands full Saturday
and hopefully well be up to the
challenge.
The crimson Tide also will have
redshirt freshman eddie Lacy
ready to give Richardson a rest.
Lacy rushed for a team-high 111
yards Saturday night.

Jayhawks get set for conference
By Ian CummIngs
icummings@kansan.com
The Jayhawks will have a
chance to fine-tune their game
at home this weekend as they
host the Kansas Invitational and
prepare for the start of confer-
ence play next week.
Kansas will play a double-
header on Friday against
Winthrop and Northern Iowa.
No. 18 Northern Iowa (5-2)
will be Kansas first ranked
opponent in 2010, while Kansas
(7-1) is second in the Big 12.
On Saturday, Kansas will play
Arkansas-Little Rock (1-6). The
Jayhawks just saw their seven-
game winning streak broken on
Tuesday by Middle Tennessee
State University.
Weve got a group that obvi-
ously should know what the
taste is in their mouth and how
this feels and hopefully thatll
motivate us, coach Ray Bechard
said.
Junior outside hitter Lauren
Hagan said the team was work-
ing hard in practice to get ready
for the weekend.
We had a really good prac-
tice yesterday. We all kind of
remember the feeling after
Middle Tennessee, Hagan said.
So were working really hard so
we dont have to feel that again
this weekend.
The Jayhawks are already
putting up good numbers this
year. Kansas defense has limited
opponents to an average attack
percentage of .143 which is
exactly what the offense reg-
istered against MTSU in the
first set of Tuesdays lost game.
Meanwhile, Kansas is leading
the Big 12 in aces per set, scor-
ing an average of 2.11. In this
category, four Jayhawks rank
in the top ten: senior Melissa
Manda, junior Allison Mayfield,
sophomore Morgan Boub and
freshman Caroline Jarmoc.
All three games will be played
at Horejsi Family Athletics
Center and live statistics and
video will be available online
at www.KUAthletics.com. The
Kansas Invitational will cap an
eight-game home stand for KU,
after which conference play
begins with a match against
No. 7 Kansas State (4-3) in
Manhattan.
Senior outside hitter Jenna
Kaiser said conference play
would bring some advantages
for the players.
Itll definitely be a little bit
easier to get into more of a rou-
tine because then you have two
days to prepare for one team
instead of three, Kaiser said.
So, well just be able to focus
more and not think, Oh, which
team are we trying to scout,
again?

The cross country team will
travel to compete at the Missouri
Cross Country Challenge this
Saturday, September 11. The teams
at the challenge are the University
of Missouri, Stephens College and
University of Missouri-Kansas
City. The race begins with the
mens 8K at 10 a.m. and the wom-
ens 5K will follow at 10:40 a.m.
The womens team will be sit-
ting out its best runners and turn-
ing to its top finishers from the
Bob Timmons Classic. The two
strongest runners competing are
sophomores Kyra Kilwein and
Tessa Turcotte.
Among other
r u n n e r s
are sopho-
more Natalie
Becker and
junior Devin
Wiegers, who
also placed at
the competi-
tion.
B e c k e r
hopes to imple-
ment the same strategy the team
used at the Bob Timmons Classic
and apply it to the challenge. This
strategy was to stay together to
overwhelm the competition.
Our goal is to have our front
pack together, Becker said. I
think we will compete very well,
as long as we beat Missouri, our
rival.
Wiegers had the same motiva-
tion when questioned about this
upcoming meet.
Weve been working really
hard since summer and have been
supporting each other a lot, she
said. I think this season we are
striving for teamwork and so far
we have been doing a good job
at it.
As for the mens team, the
Jayhawks will look to senior Nick
Caprario and juniors Austin
Bussing, Donny Wasinger and
Zach Zarda. Freshman Josh
Munsch, who finished 4th overall
at the Bob Timmons Classic, will
also be com-
peting.
M u n s c h

with his first
collegiate race
last week.
My first
race at the

his name atop the leaderboard.
He finished with an 18-foot bird-
ie putt for a 7-under 64 and a
one-shot lead over Ryan Moore.
Ian Poulter of England, who
has finished in the top 10 only
once since winning the Match
Play Championship in February,
had a 66 for the best round of the
afternoon despite opening with a
double bogey.
Woods also started with a dou-
ble bogey, but he never got those
shots back.
With one last bogey on the
18th hole, he wound up with a
73 to leave himself in a big hole
as he tries to advance to the final
stage of the playoffs in Atlanta.
It was his highest round at Cog
Hill since he opened with a 73 in
the 2005 Western Open. It also
ended a streak of 11 consecutive
rounds in the 60s on the public
course in the Chicago suburbs
where he has won five times.
Woods should be used to rough
starts by now. His scoring aver-
age in the first round this year is
71.08, compared with 68.9 a year
ago in the same tournaments.
Even so, it was peculiar to hear
him discuss how much ground
he has to make up not against
Kuchar, but the finish he needs to
get into the top 30 in the FedEx
Cup standings and advance to
the Tour Championship.
As of right now, Im only
five shots back out of that spot,
Woods said. Thats not bad.
Everything is good with
Kuchar at the moment, except
his voice. He is playing so well
a winner at The Barclays, a tour-
high 10 finishes in the top 10 this
year that theres really nothing
left for him to say.
Not that he had a choice.
Kuchar has laryngitis and begged
off a series of interviews, let-
ting his score speak for itself. It
was the second-best start of his
career, and the 21st time in 23
events this year that he broke par
in the opening round.
Just keep playing, Kuchar
said to one question he felt good
enough to answer. I was driv-
ing it well. I was actually doing
everything well. It felt very good.
Last week was a little bit suspect,
and this week I kind of figured
some stuff out.
Something clicked for Moore
when he least expected it.
Dressed in a black sweater and
white golf shirt, with a tie hung
loosely around his neck, Moore
was 1 over for the round and in
a bunker on the 11th. He holed
that out for birdie, hit 3-iron to 5
feet for birdie, and after a par, fin-
ished with five straight birdies.
I certainly wasnt expecting
to do that, Moore said. I hit
a horrible tee shot on 11 with
an even worse lay-up, and then
I hit a terrible shot from there
into a bunker and then holed
out. I dont know. Just got a little
positive momentum going from
there.
Poulter had to find some
quickly. He hit his opening tee
shot to the right on the 10th hole,
put his approach into a front
bunker and then caught that
clean and sent it over the green.
He missed a 4-foot putt and took
double bogey, although it helped
that its about a 250-yard walk to
the next tee.
Nice first round, he said.
Not a very nice first hole, mind
you.
Retief Goosen and Charlie Wi
were at 67, while the group at 68
included Dustin Johnson, Luke
Donald and Justin Rose.

Stoops brothers face of for frst time
rivAls.com/
mcclAtchy-tribune
Its not on the same level as the
Bowden Bowls of recent vintage,
but Saturdays meeting between
Stoops brothers is the best subplot
of the second week of the season.
Its also a bit of Stoops family
history.
When Florida State plays at
Oklahoma, it will be the first time
any of the famed Stoops broth-
ers face off in a game. Bob is the
Sooners coach, while Mark is the
Seminoles defensive coordinator.
It will be a little bit different,
Arizona coach Mike Stoops told
Rivals.com. They both are my
brothers and I have worked with
both. ... A lot of people are talking
about it.
With Bobby Bowden having
retired from FSU, Tommy Bowden
no longer coaching following his
ouster at Clemson in 2008 and
Terry Bowden coaching at Division
II North Alabama, the Stoops clan
now is the most famous college
football family. And thats why this
meeting is so special.
I talked to both of them this
week, said Mike, who plays The
Citadel this Saturday. My mom
will be at the game, and (Thursday
was) Bobs 50th birthday. There
will be a lot of emotions. I wont
cheer for either one, but emotions
will play a big part.
And, obviously, the team with
the better defense will win.
Figures.
Defense has defined this family.
The Stoops learned about play-
ing tough, hard-nosed football
growing up on the same block
as former lightweight champion
Ray Boom Boom Mancini in
Youngstown, Ohio.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
Knowshon Moreno, the first tail-
back selected in last years NFL
draft, never seemed to find a
rhythm as a rookie, failing repeat-
edly to move the chains in short-
yardage situations.
Denver Broncos coach Josh
McDaniels insists it wasnt Morenos
fault.
He defended his first-ever draft
pick by suggesting we had some
linemen up front that arent here
anymore that were light, weak, old,
an unusually candid criticism of
former Broncos Ben Hamilton and
Casey Wiegmann, especially con-
sidering the Broncos will face both
of them this season.
A lot was made of McDaniels
beefing up his defensive line with
the free agent
additions of
Jamal Williams,
Justin Bannan
and Jarvis
Green who
was waived last
week but the
Broncos also
bulked up their
offensive line
this offseason.
McDaniels drafted guard/tackle
Zane Beadles of Utah in the second
round and center J.D. Walton of
Baylor in the third round. Both are
slated to start Sunday at Jacksonville
along with guard Stanley Daniels,
who was claimed off waivers from
Green Bay this year.
Walton and Beadles are both 305
pounds and Daniels is 320.
Hamilton, 33, who signed
with Seattle, weighs 290 pounds.
Wiegmann, 37, who returned
to Kansas City in the offseason,
weighs 285.
Both are on the smaller side
nowadays as NFL linemen typi-
cally top 300 pounds. Both were
good fits in the Broncos old zone-
blocking system but not so much in
McDaniels power-based scheme.
McDaniels made his remarks
about his former linemen while
discussing his first draft class
in a recent interview with The
Associated Press.
He said he expected more out of
that group this season, including
pass-rusher Robert Ayers, tight end
Richard Quinn and also Moreno,
the University of Georgia star who
was taken with the 12th overall
pick.
Although Moreno rushed for
947 yards and seven touchdowns
and caught 28 passes for 213 yards
and two TDs his rookie season, he
repeatedly came up short in short-
yardage, and his per-carry average
was a run-of-the-mill 3.8 yards.
Even last year, McDaniels placed
the blame on his offensive line,
which was a hybrid of both sys-
tems as the
Broncos moved
away from the
synchroni zed
movement of
the zone-block-
ing scheme to
the man-on-
man power
method that
McDaniels pre-
fers.
Asked if Morenos health had
anything to do with his struggles in
short yardage last year he injured
a knee on his first series of the pre-
season last year McDaniels said,
I think he was fine.
Again, he ran for 950 yards or
whatever it was and split time with
another back (Correll Buckhalter),
you know, McDaniels said. And
we had some linemen up front that
arent here anymore that were light,
weak, old, and he made some of
the most spectacular 1- and 2-yard
runs youll ever see in the NFL, so
hopefully we can get him started
and get him going a little better
this year.
Hamilton, whose Seahawks visit
Denver next week, refused to com-
ment on McDaniels quote.

Billups made the promise. Kevin
Durant made sure it was kept.
And by beating Russia on
Thursday, the Americans brought
a little joy to one of the players
who will never forget what hap-
pened against the Soviets exactly
38 years earlier.
Durant scored 33 points to lead
the United States to an 89-79 vic-
tory that moved it within two wins
of its first world basketball cham-
pionship since 1994.
The victory came on the anni-
versary of the Soviet Unions win
over the Americans for the 1972
Olympic gold medal, a game with
an ending so controversial the U.S.
players refused to accept their sil-
ver medals.
No player on the young
American team is old enough to
remember that game many are
barely old enough to remember
the Cold War. But Mike Bantom,
the NBAs senior vice president
of player development, played on
that U.S. team and is in Turkey
with the Americans.
I told him today, I know noth-
ings going to bring that back,
man, but at least well try to make
you at least smile today, Billups
said. And he was like, Yeah, thatd
be nice.
Durant ensured there would be
no worries at the finish of this
one, shooting 11 of 19 while just
missing Carmelo Anthonys world
championship team record of 35
points, set in 2006.
Were going to go to him, U.S.
coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Ive
learned in coaching you should
get your best player the ball.
The U.S. will play Saturday
against Lithuania, which beat
Argentina 104-85. Host Turkey
and Serbia will play in the other
semifinal.
The U.S. and Russia have met
many times since 1972, includ-
ing a U.S. victory 16 years ago in
Toronto that gave the Americans
their last world championship.
And there isnt much of a rivalry
anymore between the nations
the NBA even opened an office in
Moscow on Thursday.
U.S. beats Russia, avoids 1972 repeat
