Clinton Lake algae adds
odd taste to local water
The water in Lawrence may
have a strange taste and smell
because of an algae compound
found in Clinton Lake, said
Jeanette Klamm, the utilities pro-
gram manager for the Lawrence
Department of Utilities. Clinton
Lake is one of the water sources
for the water treatment division
of Lawrence. The water may have
an earthy or musty taste, but
Klamm said the water meets all
health standards and is safe to
drink.
The city has started testing
and making changes to the
water, Klamm said. They have
seen improvement after feeding
carbon into the water, but they
are still trying to find the best
cure.
Klamm said the city is not sure
how long it will take to get the
water back to normal because
it depends on the condition of
Clinton Lake, but the city hopes
it wont last long.

Euro safe after conservative party wins Parliament election U.N. demands civilians be evacuated
SYRIA
AthENS Fears of an imminent Greek
exit from Europes joint currency receded
Sunday after the conservative New Democ-
racy party came frst in a critical election
and pro-bailout parties won enough seats to
form a joint government.
As central banks stood ready to intervene
in case of fnancial turmoil, Greece held its
second national election in six weeks after
an inconclusive ballot on May 6.
With one party advocating ripping up
Greeces multibillion-euro bailout deal, the
election was seen as a vote on whether
Greece should stay in the 17-nation joint
euro currency. A Greek exit would have had
potentially catastrophic consequences for
other ailing European nations, the United
States and the entire global economy.
Offcial results showed New Democracy win-
ning 130 of the 300 seats in Parliament.

BEIRUT (AP) The head of the U.N.
observers mission in Syria demanded
Sunday that warring parties allow the
evacuation of women, children, elderly
and sick people endangered by fghting
in the besieged city of Homs and other
combat zones.
Maj. Gen. Robert Mood said the observ-
ers had been trying for the past week to
bring out families and wounded trapped
in Homs by heavily shelling of rebel-held
areas. The offensive is part of a broader
push by President Bashar Assads forces
to regain rebel-held villages and towns
throughout the country.
The parties must reconsider their po-
sition and allow women, children, the
elderly and the injured to leave confict
zones without any preconditions and en-
sure their safety, Mood said.

Next season will be
the last for Weeds
LOS ANGELES Showtime's up-
coming eighth season of "Weeds"
will be the last for the long-running
comedy, a network spokesperson
confrmed Wednesday.
Created by Jenji Kohan and
starring Mary-Louise Parker as a
pot-dealing mom, "Weeds" was
one the premium cable channel's
eminent series when it made its
debut in 2005 and has picked up
numerous Emmy nominations dur-
ing its tenure.
The Lionsgate-produced comedy
averaged around 720,000 viewers
last season, according to Nielsen.
News of the series' end comes just
days after the network announced
it picked up two drama pilots
Liev Schreiber's "Ray Donovan"
and Michael Sheen's "Masters of
Sex" as series.
Some cast and crew members
have already lined up work: Justin
Kirk (who plays Uncle Andy) had
his comedy pilot "Animal Practice"
ordered to series by NBC and will
launch in the fall. And Kohan in
March landed an overall deal with
Lionsgate, where she is working
on a series, "Orange Is the New
Black," as part of Netfix's push into
original programming.
The fnal season of "Weeds" is
scheduled to roll out July 1.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES A TV documen-
tary series about an Anabaptist
community in Montana ofers a
"distorted" and contrived image,
bishops representing the Hutterite
faith in the U.S. and Canada said
Thursday.
John Stahl, Peter Entz and John
Waldner, bishops for the three
sects encompassing the roughly
50,000 Hutterites and 500 colonies
in North America, said in a joint
statement they are "deeply disap-
pointed" in National Geographic
Channel's "American Colony: Meet
the Hutterites."
The 10-part series that began
airing last month promised a rare
inside look at Hutterite colony life,
focusing on the King Ranch Colony.
"What was promised by the
producers to be a 'factual docu-
mentary' is, in fact, a distorted and
exploitative version of Hutterite life,"
the bishops said, one that paints all
Hutterites in a "negative and inac-
curate way."
The bishops accused producers
of contriving scenes and dialogue
in a "make believe" portrayal of
"how we live and the spiritual
beliefs we cherish."
David Lyle, National Geographic
Channel's CEO, vigorously defend-
ed the channel and the series.
"This is a declaration of war from
the Hutterite elders against the
National Geographic Society, calling
into account our fairness," Lyle said.
"We absolutely are fairly represent-
ing the King community."
The bishops' criticisms refect
"the very tensions that are at the
core of this story," he said, which he
described as the confict between
Hutterite traditions and rules, and
some colony members' eforts to
remain devout while adapting to
21st-century society.
The Hutterites are Protestants
similar to the Amish and Men-
nonites who live a life centered on
their religion, but unlike the others,
Hutterites live in German-speaking
communes scattered across north-
ern U.S. states and Canada.

Ranch commune, located more

Some parents are shown ques-
tioning their faiths tenets, while

King Ranch is among about 50
colonies in Montana averaging
roughly 100 people each, according
to a 2010 state report.
The colony had declined com-
ment before the series began airing
and had no comment Thursday,
according to Kristin Cole, a spokes-
woman for the bishops.
"American Colony" producer Jef
Collins, who did not respond to a
request for comment, said previ-
ously that the series would avoid
such reality TV ploys as "feeding"
lines to people to heighten the
drama. He described the produc-
tion as an ongoing "negotiation,"
with colony members querying the
crew on how and what they were
taping.

LOS ANGELES TNT's reboot of
"Dallas" struck oil. Its premiere on
June 13 drew nearly 7 million view-
ers, making it the No. 1 scripted
series premiere on all of cable so
far this year.
The rebirth of the classic CBS
series, which stars veterans Larry
Hagman and Linda Gray repris-
ing their roles as J.R. and Sue
Ellen Ewing alongside younger
brethren Jesse Metcalfe and Josh
Henderson, garnered 6.8 million
viewers. The debut unsurprisingly
drew hefty numbers in the older
demographic: Nearly 1.9 million
folks who tuned-in were in the
advertiser-coveted 18-49 demo
and 2.5 million were 25-54. You can
guess who made up the remaining
million.
The two-hour premiere of the
new "Dallas," which Los Angeles
Times critic Robert Lloyd said is
"very much like the old" in his
review, even outdid broadcast
networks during its 9-11 p.m. EDT
airing. But considering the num-
bers the soap generated during its
original run, its Wednesday show-
ing is extremely undersized. The
last episode of the original series,
which aired in 1991, brought in a
whopping 33 million viewers .

Costner and Baldwin
battle in court over BP
NEW ORLEANS Kevin Costner
said his reputation was at stake as he
defended himself against accusations
that he cheated fellow actor Stephen
Baldwin out of millions of dollars in a
lucrative BP contract for oil-cleaning
machines after the 2010 spill.
Baldwin and a friend were seeking
$17 million in damages, saying they
could have made at least that much
in the deal. A federal jury sided with
Costner and gave them nothing.
Costner smiled and shook his
attorney's hand as a grim-faced Bald-
win left the courtroom.
"My name means more to me
than money and that's why we didn't
settle," Costner said.
After a two-week trial, eight jurors
deliberated for less than two hours
before giving their decision in the
lawsuit brought by Baldwin and his
friend, Spyridon Contogouris.
Baldwin referred questions about
the verdict to his attorney, James
Cobb.
"We're disappointed. We thought
we proved rather convincingly that
these two guys, Mr. Costner and Mr.
Smith, defrauded us," Cobb said. "The
jury saw it a diferent way but we
respect the jury's verdict."
Contogouris and Baldwin sold
their shares in Ocean Therapy Solu-
tions for $1.4 million and $500,000,
respectively. The company was mar-
keting the oil-separating centrifuges.
Baldwin testifed he would have
held out for much more if he had
known BP had committed to order-
ing 32 of them. Soon after they sold
their shares, the oil giant made an
$18 million deposit on a $52 million
order.
Attorneys for Costner and Smith
said Baldwin and Contogouris knew
BP was preparing to order the ma-
chines when they walked away from
the company rather than gamble for
a more lucrative payout .

ollywood has been stealing
ideas from authors and the
stories they write for years,
but recently things seem diferent.
Ever since the very successful
Harry Potter book series was made
into a very successful flm series,
Hollywood hasnt stopped looking
for novels to be turned into either a
summer blockbuster or winter hit.
But now, some books can owe
their popularity to their cinematic
reincarnations. Te two most obvi-
ous book-to-movie series that came
afer Harry Potter are Te Twi-
light Saga and Hunger Games Tril-
ogy. But those arent the only novels
being turned into flms. Seth Graha-
me-Smiths new novel genre horror
mash-up has created two novels, and
two flms to boot, Abraham Lincoln:
Vampire Hunter and Pride and
Prejudice and Zombies. Te frst of
the two, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire
Hunter is released nationwide June
22. Even todays most popular novel
series 50 Shades of Grey looks like
its going to be made into a movie.
But thats not new. Afer Hunger
Games made its advertising rounds
throughout theaters this past year, I
remember coming back to Lawrence
and people constantly telling me to
read Hunger Games. Although I
still have not given Hunger Games
a chance, everyone else seems to be
chomping at the bit.
Te funny thing is that Hunger
Games frst started publication
in 2008. I didnt hear about it until
(very) late 2011. What took so long?
Sure, it may have been a pretty suc-
cessful book before the movie was
made, but did the advertising for the
movie make the books more popu-
lar? If so, I think Hunger Games
author Suzanne Collins owes Holly-
wood many thanks.
But there is something more im-
portant happening here than an au-
thors free publicity. Hollywood may
be lazy and just taking story ideas
from someone who has already been
successful, but the truth is they are
getting more people to read. And for
someone who is basing his career of
of people reading what he writes, I
couldnt be happier about this.
Im not a fan of Twilight or
Hunger Games, and I havent even
looked at 50 Shades of Grey yet,
but if people are going to start read-
ing because of movies, I cant com-
plain. Maybe Hunger Games will
push them to read more ofen, movie
or no movie.

ritish Petroleums oil spill in the
Gulf of Mexico is still afecting
wildlife and seafood businesses.
On April 20, 2010, the BP Horizon
Deepwater released 5 million barrels of
crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico over a
period of three months. It was the larg-
est accidental marine spill in petroleum
history. Te explosion killed 11 workers
and 17 were injured. Other immedi-
ate efects included birds and turtles
covered in oil and dying sea coral. Two
years later, the oil is no longer seen on
the surface. However, scientists have
found considerable amounts on the
ocean foor. Consequently, fshermen
are fnding mutant seafood in the Gulf
proving lasting efects BPs oil spill has
had on the regional ecosystem.
Te mutagenesis of the seafood has
afected multiple marine species. Tis
includes fsh with oozing sores, under-
developed blue crabs lacking claws, and
eyeless shrimp. Afer the oil spill, many
fsheries closed due to many marine or-
ganisms dying. In short: less business.
Te fsheries that remained open have
to deal with the mutant seafood.
Fisher Tracy Kuhn stated At the
height of the last white shrimp season,
in September, one of our friends caught
400 pounds of these. She was referring
to the eyeless shrimp. What was most
disturbing was these shrimp simply do
not lack eyes but eye sockets.
Te deformed fsh and crustaceans
are not solely due to the oil, but the
chemical that de-clumped or broke
the oil up. Afer the oil spill, BP released
almost 2 million gallons of toxic Corexit
dispersants. Te chemical 2-butoxy-
ethanol in Corexit causes harm to red
blood cells as well as kidney and lung
damage in humans. It can also arrest the
development of human embryos. Imag-
ine the efects it can have on simpler and
smaller creatures like seafood. It is pos-
sible the mutagen entered the genome
of shrimp to the few generations that
survived the immediate spill.
Gulf seafood has constantly been
tested lower than the safety thresholds
created by the Food and Drug Admin-
istration and Environmental Protec-
tion Agency. Seafood from the Gulf
of Mexico is among the most tested in
the world. Recent FDA reports have
claimed the seafood as safe as it was two
years ago. However, many tourists and
locals are reluctant to eat it. BP claims
the fsh with oozing sores happened
before the spill due to parasites in the
ocean. Regardless, the oil spill has had
pronounced efects afer the initial ex-
plosion.
Tis catastrophic event has negative-
ly afected the economy of Gulf fsher-
ies as well as crustacean diversity in the
ocean. Tis is something that may never
be restored.

Though tanning may be tempt-
ing, its important to be as careful
as possible when it comes to your
skin.
Sunlight is a carcinogen, mean-
ing there is no safe dose of it, said
Jerry Brewer, dermatologic surgeon
at Mayo Clinic. If your skin turns
any color other than its natural
shade, it has been damaged. Sun-
light is unavoidable, however, so
its important to take the necessary
precautions this summer to protect
your skin.
One simple thing you can do
to stay healthy is do a head-to-toe
monthly self-skin exam. People
who do this have higher survival
rates of melanoma because they are
able to catch it early.
People with blond or red hair,
blue or green eyes, or more than
15 moles need to take extra care
because they are at higher risk,
Brewer said. But most importantly,
always wear sunscreen of at least
SPF 30.
If you put it on and still get
burned, chances are you didnt put
on enough, said Lee Bittenbender,
dermatologist at Dermatology Cen-
ter of Lawrence, 930 Iowa St.
He says it takes about an ounce
one shot glass of sunscreen
to cover your body sufficiently, but
most people only put on one-third
of the amount of sunscreen they
need. Its also important to reapply
the same amount after youve been
sweating or swimming, when you
may have toweled off your layer of
protection.
If youre going to a tanning salon,
however, the necessary skin care is
different.
At SunKissed Tan & Salon, no one
guarantees you wont get burned,
but they come pretty close.
If anybody burns in here, own-
er Mike Byrnes said, we made a
mistake. Byrnes is dedicated to
educating customers on how to tan
safely, which includes extensively
moisturizing your skin before tan-
ning and limiting time in beds to
only what your skin can handle.
The best way to promote better
skin tanning is with hydrated skin,
Byrnes said. He doesnt recom-
mend using baby oil, which can dry
out your skin. And though getting
a head start on your summer tan
might lower your chances of burn-
ing later, you still have to be care-
ful. The tan will not protect you
from unlimited exposure.
Rachel Stattelman, a freshman
from Topeka, tans twice a week.
Though she uses a tan-deepening
moisturizer in the tanning bed,
she uses sunscreen when she tans
outside. She says shes never been
burned because she has built up her
skin tolerance.
She uses the high pressure bed at
SunKissed, which is different from
a normal bed because it filters out
ultraviolet B (UVB) rays to make
room for the UVA rays to oxidize
your skin, Byrnes said.
Stattelman also always wears eye
covers to protect her eyes from UV
rays while shes in a tanning bed. If
she doesnt, she says, she could de-
velop cataracts. Its just like staring
at the sun.
Though there are some ways to
improve your tanning experience
and decrease the amount of dam-
age to your skin, it is important not
to overdo it.
Both dermatologists equated
tanning to smoking cigarettes. Sim-
ilar to cigarettes relation to lung
cancer, the more often you tan, the
higher risk youre at for developing
skin cancer, Brewer said.
Bittenbender said that warnings
about skin cancer and cautions to
protect skin may seem like they
dont apply to students, who can
sometimes feel invincible. He de-
mands students attention by ap-
proaching the topic differently.
This will make you look old,
he says of tanning. If you want to
look as good as you can for as long
as you can, sun protection is the
main thing you can do.

ITS NOT TOO LATE TO
Some say beauty is pain, but for
two University students, beauty
means opportunity.
Sloane Lewis, a senior from Nor-
wich, was crowned Miss Kansas
2012. Brooke Taylor, a senior from
North Platte, Neb., won frst runner-
up in this years Miss Kansas Pag-
eant, which took place from June
7-9 in Pratt.
Lewis and Taylor, who lived down
the hall from each other in Alpha
Chi Omega for two years, had to
balance pageant life with school and
social life.
We did a lot of appearances
around Lawrence together, and it
was nice to have a sidekick to go
places with, Lewis said. Its hard to
get yourself to do stuf, so we kept
each other going.
Taylor missed class a few times for
appearances, but other than that, the
pageant didnt interfere with school.
I would have appearances and
stuf on the weekends a lot and
couldnt hang out with my friends as
much as I wanted to, but I gained a
lot more than I ever sacrifced, Tay-
lor said.
Taylor said that preparing for the
pageant, along with fnishing her
paperwork and building a pageant
platform, taught her a lot about time
management.
Lewis and Taylor are familiar with
the stereotypes that some people
have about beauty pageants.
I think its hard for people to see
the positive things about pageants
because we have things like Tod-
dlers and Tiaras, Lewis said.
Te Miss Kansas pageant gives
out $45 million in tuition scholar-
ship money each year. Lewis earned
approximately $10,000 in scholar-
ship money when she won the state
title. Tis is not a beauty pageant by
any means, she said. Its defnitely a
scholarship organization.
Taylor is an intern at Te Willow
Domestic Violence center in Law-
rence where she is an advocate for
her pageant platform, teen dating-
violence awareness and prevention.
Te pageant gave her the opportu-
nity to speak before the senate re-
garding a bill about dating-violence
policies in schools across Kansas.
I dont think I would have gotten
these opportunities without having
a title, Taylor said. I feel like it has
beneftted me so much.
Another beauty pageant title
went to Gentry Miller, 2010 gradu-
ate from Wichita, who won the 2012
Miss Kansas USA title. Miller also
competed in this years Miss USA
pageant on June 3.
Miller was a member of the
American Business Womens Asso-
ciation and Pi Beta Phi sorority. She
said her involvement at KU helped
her shaped who she was during the
pageant.
It helped me be a public fgure
and be someone that could speak to
others, she said.

Twenty years later, Rodney Kings
simple yet profound question still lin-
gers, from the street where Trayvon
Martin died all the way to the White
House:
Can we all get along?
Spoken as fres of rage and frustra-
tion wrecked huge swaths of Los Ange-
les, the plea distilled centuries of racial
strife into a challenge and a goal.
Today, the various answers to his ques-
tion measure the lasting signifcance of
King, who died in California Sunday
afer he was found at the bottom of his
swimming pool. He was 47.
It was a critical question at a mo-
ment of crisis that forged our human
bonds with one another, said George-
town professor Michael Eric Dyson. It
grew up out of the hope and the desire,
especially of people of color, to see this
nation come together.
Te nation frst saw King as a black
man curled up on the ground by his
car, being beaten by four white police
ofcers. On parole for a robbery con-
viction, he had been drinking, then
speeding, and had refused to pull over.
Police fnally pulled King from his car,
then struck him more than 50 times
with batons and boots.
One of Kings legacies is that he
raised the curtain on the video age: If
a man had not stepped outside of his
home and videotaped the beating, King
would have been lost to history.
King became an enduring symbol
of police brutality proof positive,
to many people, that the dogs and fre
hoses Connor, the Birmingham police
chief, loosed on civil rights marchers in
1960s Alabama had merely been up-
dated, not eliminated.
He represented the anti-police bru-
tality and anti-racial profling move-
ment of our time, the Rev. Al Sharpton
said Sunday.
Te videotape was the central piece
of evidence at the four ofcers trial,
which became a classic piece of mod-
ern racial drama.
Tere were no blacks on the jury
in the predominantly white suburb of
Simi Valley, Calif. Afer the police were
acquitted one got a mistrial Los
Angeles was engulfed in a fery upris-
ing that lasted three days, killed 55
people and injured more than 2,000.

Sunday nights in east Lawrence
usually mean one of two things:
playing kickball or watching kick-
ball in the Kaw Valley Kickball
League (KVKL).
Every Sunday evening at parks
across Lawrence, the combined en-
ergy of hundreds of spectators and
more than 20 players is enough to
conjure up some sort of athletic de-
ity. In fact, for some players, watch-
ing their kick soar through the air
at just the right angle and into the
outfield is the most akin feeling
to glory one can experience on a
sports field.
I love it because its both really
competitive and fun-spirited at the
same time, said Geoff Wright, team
captain for the Rockets and former
commissioner of the KVKL. This
is the eleventh season Wright has
played in the league.
The KVKL was founded in 2002
and is now the largest kickball
league in the city, consisting of
more than 32 teams.
Groups of friends and local
businesses compete every Sunday
at parks throughout the city. The
various teams end the day with a
Game of the Week held at 9 p.m.
at Hobbs Park in east Lawrence,
11th and Delaware Streets.
Many students play in the league
and enjoy the lively spirit of the
game and the different people in-
volved.
Ive played sports my whole life,
and its a good chance to get away
from other students and just hang
with the locals, said Mitch Fav-
row, a senior. Favrow plays for the
Rockets, a KVKL team.
For Rockets player Adrienne
Brown, a senior from El Segundo,
Calif., the friendly competition is
appealing.
I like how its so competitive, but
everyone is friends, she said. Dur-
ing the games, it gets so heated.
On a recent evening at Hobbs
Park, the teams Balls Deep and West
Coast Saloon played a match under
the bright lights of the parks sta-
dium. Both teams had a 1-1 record
going into the game. The venue was
lively as locals from all walks of life
watched and socialized. There was
even a crowd rendition of Take Me
Out to the Ball Game during the
seventh inning stretch.
West Coast Saloon wiped out
Balls Deep and swiftly took a 10-3
victory. As per the spirit of the
league, the players shook hands at
the end.
The spirit of the game has also
led to teammate romance.
Last year, there was a proposal
during a game, said Diana Garcia,
co-captain of the Ghosts and cur-
rent KVKL commissioner. Then
they did a victory lap around the
bases.

WICHITA, Kan. Eforts to take
World War II veterans to see the wars
memorial in Washington are in fux in
Kansas.
Te Wichita Eagle reported that one
organization that conducted the free
trips is on the verge of disappearing.
Problems came to a head afer
Springfeld, Ohio-based Honor Flight
decided it no longer wanted Great
Bend-based Central Prairie Honor
Flights to help organize trips for the
national network. Issues included a
veteran breaking a rib afer falling out
of a top bunk in April 2011, reports
being fled late and checks going un-
cashed for months.
Central Prairie Honor Flights, which
hasnt had any fights in 2012 and can-
celed two June fights, is considering its
options.
For more than 2 1/2 years, the orga-
nization raised nearly $1.2 million and
conducted 17 Honor Flights that took
more than 1,100 World War II veterans
to Washington.
But the organization that ran Cen-
tral Prairie Honor Flights lost federal
funding in spring 2011. Tat meant the
Great Bend group lost its only federal
employee, Dan Curtis, who had served
as the Honor Flights coordinator.
LaVeta Miller, who was promoted
from program assistant to its manager,
acknowledged making mistakes but
said she just wants to do whats best
for the veterans.
Te bunk-bed incident happened
afer Curtis learned of inexpensive
rates at the 4-Hs national headquarters
and told Miller she should book them
instead of the hotel where the veterans
usually stayed.

Lawrence may have plenty of fun ac-
tivities to ofer this summer, but a quick
trip over to Kansas City will reveal a
wide variety of attractions including
sky-high pools, free concerts and exotic
sea creatures.
Country Club Plaza
Tere isnt a better way to spend a
free summer afernoon than shopping
down at the Country Club Plaza. With
over 150 shops, including Anthropolo-
gie, H&M and Apple, the variety of
restaurants and a unique assortment
of architecture show that the Plaza has
something for everyone.
Te Plaza is a great place to shop
and there are also a bunch of works of
art around the walkways, especially a
lot of fountains, Richard McWherter, a
senior from Olathe, said. I guess thats
why Kansas City is called the City of
Fountains.
Worlds of Fun,
4545 Worlds of Fun Ave.
Worlds of Fun delivers thrills and fea-
tures the inverted Patriot and wooden
Timber Wolf roller coasters. Temed
afer Jules Vernes novel Around the

Light Friday Night Live ofers a free con-
cert every week until the end of August.
I suggest P&L to anyone looking for
an upgrade from the college bar scene
here, Mary Ellen Patterson, a senior
from Overland Park, said. Te drinks
can get pricey, but its certainly a destina-
tion everyone should check out.
Crossroads KC at Grinders,

Te good times dont need to wait
until the sun sets. Tis 20,000 square
feet roofop pool features a 150 foot
bar, cocktail service and private cabanas
overlooking downtown Kansas City.
Because its located in the Power and
Light district, the drink prices tend to be
higher, but the luxurious setting, daily

TEN
When you walk into a restau-
rant today and open its menu, you
notice a gluten-free section. When
you walk into a grocery store, you
see a gluten-free aisle. Te ques-
tion for many is, What is gluten?
Some may know that gluten is a type
of wheat, or that there are people
who are gluten intolerant. Yet, many
people dont understand the term
gluten-free.
Beth Kerling, senior research as-
sociate and registered dietitian for
the Department of Dietetics and
Nutritions Nutrition Clinic at KU
Medical center, said gluten is a pro-
tein formed when certain cereal
fours are moistened and mixed, and
it is a primary element in wheat, rye
and barley.
Kerlin said that because of manu-
facturing and processing, gluten is
also found in other grains including
oats, malt, bulgur, and spelt.
Although many consumers have
added gluten-free products to their
diet by choice, others have been re-
stricted because of the genetic disor-
der known as Celiac disease.
Natalie Bragg, a senior from
Shawnee, has this disease, which
causes a severe immune reaction to
gluten. Kerling says if lef untreated,
the small intestine loses its ability to
absorb nutrients, resulting in gastro-
intestinal symptoms such as diar-
rhea, abdominal pain and bloating.
I have been eating gluten-free for
three and a half years, Bragg said. I
cant eat anything with wheat, four,
rye, barley or other grains; even
things like soy sauce can have wheat
four in it.
Bragg must read each ingredient
label carefully before buying food
because even a small amount of glu-
ten can cause sickness for days.
Similar to Bragg, Megan Nguyen,
a University graduate from Shaw-
nee, is gluten-intolerant, but does
not have Celiac disease. Gluten-in-
tolerant people are not at risk for the
nutritional defciencies that people
with Celiac disease face.
Nguyen has been gluten-intolerant
for most of her life, but didnt know
until her freshman year of college.
I always had terrible stomach
pains and never knew why, Nguyen
said.
A doctors visit fve years ago dis-
covered her consumption of gluten
caused the stomach pains.
Nguyen said this diagnosis
brought a positive and healthy
change to her life.
Te benefts of not eating gluten
have made me so much healthier,
Nguyen said, who is now a certifed
nutritionist due to this experience. I
feel so much better than I did just a
few years ago, and I learned all about
how bad gluten is for people.
Both Bragg and Nguyen said fnd-
ing gluten-free options while eating
out is one of the largest downfalls of
their diet.
Its an expensive and restrictive
diet, Bragg said. I miss eating Red
Lobsters cheese biscuits and Big
Macs, but eating this way insures
that I am not bedridden and nau-
seous all day.
However, Bragg said many res-
taurants in Lawrence ofer appealing
gluten-free choices.
Lawrence is a surpassingly good
place to live if you have to eat gluten
free, Bragg said. Fuzzys (Tacos) is
perfect for those eating on a gluten-
free diet. You can fnd something
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and
never eat the same thing twice. I say
this from experience.

When Lucas Singleton gets ready
in the morning, its a battle. Instead
of his usual morning routine, he is
preoccupied with killing every ant
he finds. He has had an ant prob-
lem since spring. Singleton, a re-
cent graduate from Hutchison, said
he has found more than 100 ants in
his kitchen at one time.
The rise in pests has also affected
local farmers this year, and the mild
winter may have something to do
with it. Stephanie Thomas, owner
of Spring Creek Farm in Baldwin
City, said pests have been extreme-
ly bad because they were able to
survive winter and grow into larger
numbers.
We are going to have a lot of
problems this summer, Thomas
said.
Thomas has lost much of her let-
tuce crop to caterpillars, which she
has had to spray for three times. In
a normal growing season, Thomas
said she would only have to spray
once. She also said people may no-
tice a rise in produce prices because
spraying for pests is expensive for
farmers.
Nichole Lingenfelter, office man-
ager at Advantage Pest Control in
De Soto, also said the winter has
had an effect on pests. Lingenfelter
said this summer, residents are
probably going to see a lot of ants
and spiders.
Lingenfelter said residents
should make sure to clean up af-
ter themselves around the house
and the exterior of the house to
keep bugs out. Residents should
also make sure not to leave piles of
wood close to the house.
Apartments and houses should
be sprayed for pests every three
months. Most apartment com-
plexes have terminators come out
to spray.
Although Singletons apartment
is sprayed twice a year, he has yet
to find relief from the ants. After
cleaning and spraying Raid, the
ants still came back.
Lingenfelter said students should
call their management and let them
know if they are experiencing is-
sues with pests.

Joy Stewart, a senior from overland Park, talks about how she has had more issues this summer with ants and other pests around the house and near the windows. Stewart had to
call her landlord to have maintenance come take care of the pests because Its really frustrating that there are so many and that its such a problem this year, Stewart explained.
At first, Greensburg looks similar
to the many small towns you would
pass through on U.S. Highway 54.
But there are also barren patch-
es of land, many of them dotted
with dilapidated homes, shacks
and abandoned farm equipment.
And scattered among the hand-
ful of these blank blocks are newly
built homes, strangely juxtaposed
against the remaining wreckage
of a tornado that leveled nearly
all of Greensburg five years ago.
The town is still here because of a
massive amount of support from
countless individuals since the di-
saster. But the town hasnt just been
rebuilt Greensburg has been re-
envisioned. Bob Dixson, mayor of
Greensburg, is certainly proud of
how far the town has come, but he
doesnt consider the mission com-
plete.
We want to keep growing,
said Dixson, 58. We can never be
done, because youre either grow-
ing or youre dying. Theres no stay-
ing put in one place.
The Tornado
On May 4, 2007, an EF5 (the
most damaging category, with
winds over 200 mph) tornado
struck Greensburg, a 1.5 square-
mile town in south-central Kansas,
110 miles west of Wichita. The tor-
nado was approximately 1.7 miles
across, wide enough to encompass
the small town of about 1,400 peo-
ple. National Weather Service esti-
mated the tornados wind speed to
be 205 mph. Eleven people died and
95 percent of the town was com-
pletely destroyed. The only historic
building downtown to survive was
the S.D. Robinett Building, today
an antique shop.
A sergeant for the Kiowa County
Police Department, Zane Huff-
man, was on duty the night of the
storm, helping clear the trashed
roads. Huffman, 48, knew where
his children were at the time of the
tornado, but had no way of con-
tacting them cell phone recep-
tion was shot within the city limits.
People searching for loved ones
immediately after the tornado were
forced to drive to nearby Haviland
or Mullinville and attempt calls to
friends and family, but the disabled
phone service in Greensburg made
it unlikely for anyone within the
city to receive the calls. Navigating
the streets was impossible, so it was
out of the question to physically
search for anyone in the aftermath.
You couldnt get anywhere,
Huffman said of the debris-ridden
streets. I tried calling the next
morning when I was off duty, but
couldnt get ahold of them. I didnt
see or talk to my two kids until the
next afternoon.
Houses were in pieces in the
street, personal belongings strewn
among splintered wood and shat-
tered glass. Kathleen Sebelius,
Kansas governor then, announced
her plan for Greensburg to become
the greenest city in the state. The
Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and the Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA)
were immediately deployed, along
with volunteers from throughout
the country. Greensburg began the
slow but steady healing process.
The Recovery
FEMA, EPA and Greensburg of-
ficials created an immediate recov-
ery plan and a long-term recovery
plan, the latter containing most of
the green initiatives. Perhaps the
most important immediate goal,
aside from cleanup, was FEMAs
building of 300 trailers over the first
two years, to assist residents mov-
ing back into town (it was eventu-
ally dubbed FEMAville, among a
handful of other nicknames). The
agency also set up trailers over the
summer to serve as classrooms for
the start of school in August.
Teigan Ellegood, now an eighth-
grader at Kiowa County Junior
High in Greensburg, didnt live in
town when the tornado hit, but his
family uprooted and moved from a
nearby town right away to join in
the recovery effort. Ellegoods fam-
ily had lost everything in a house
fire four years before the 2007
Greensburg tornado. Ellegood, 15,
says it was his mothers decision.
She knew what it was like to
lose everything, he said.
The family slept on the floor of
a nearby church, crammed along-
side displaced families, when they
arrived in Greensburg the month
after the tornado. Ellegood attend-

Wind, which stripped many Greensburg trees of their bark during the tornado, is now harnessed by wind turbines all over the town. the wind turbines are one of several clean energy sources the town is utilizing to save on
energy costs and to reduce its carbon footprint.

Mayor Bob Dixon uses his laptop to show an aerial view of the destruction the town of Greensburg faced in the wake of the 2007 tornado. The
tornado was an EF5 the strongest kind with an estimated wind speed of 205 mph and a diameter of 1.7 miles.

Ray Stegman, who was appointed Greensubrgs Emergency Manager two days
after the tornado, stands in his workshop in Greensburg, Kan.
most trailers housed two grades,
from kindergarten through twelfth.
Most of the kids I talked to on
the first day of school were re-
lieved, Ellegood says. They didnt
think theyd have an education that
year.
But many people didnt return to
Greensburg after the tornado. The
town lost about half its population
to emigration the population
is currently about 777. Residents
claimed their insurance money and
moved away the rebuilding pro-
cess was too tedious and expensive
for many.
Greensburg Today
Over time, natural beauty has
grown in and around the remaining
ruins. And the town isnt ashamed
of or hiding the telltale signs of the
major disaster. An old auto-repair
garage has, Open as soon as we
can, endearingly spray-painted on
its side facing the highway.
The town doesnt look like your
typical rural Kansas town, espe-
cially one that was destroyed by a
tornado five years ago. Most promi-
nently, there are ten large wind tur-
bines three miles outside of town
and smaller turbines throughout
the city. Many of the municipal
buildings near the center of town
are sleek, modern structures you
might find in Seattle or Tokyo
(Mayor Dixson likens the rooftop
solar panels to skate park ramps).
But they arent designed this way
for style.
Greensburg was the first U.S.
town to achieve LEED Platinum
ratings for all its city-owned build-
ings. LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) Plati-
num is the highest rating a building
can receive under the U.S. Green
Building Councils rating system.
Greensburg has the most LEED-
certified buildings per capita in the
world, making it a global model for
researchers, students and develop-
ers in the sustainable energy field.
The impressive SunChips Busi-
ness Incubator (perhaps Greens-
burgs most practical and progres-
sive addition) is a key component
to the towns long-term recovery
plan. SunChips donated $1 million
toward the buildings design and
execution, and Leonardo DiCaprio
chipped in another $400,000. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture
and Greensburg covered the rest.
The building offers five street-
level retail spaces and nine sec-
ond-level offices as well as a storm
shelter. The incubator, completed
two years after the tornado, is city-
owned and LEED Platinum-certi-
fied. The sustainable features make
it easier for new local businesses to
get off the ground and hatch out
into the city to survive on their
own, as Mayor Dixson puts it.

angled skylights and strategically-
arranged window patterns equate

artificial lights are controlled by
motion sensors so that unoccupied
rooms are automatically darkened.
Water drained down sinks and
showers is collected and used to
flush toilets. 23 geothermal wells
pull air, 56 degrees Fahrenheit,
from 30 feet underground to cool
in the summer and heat in the win-
ter. The underground air sits at 56
degrees year-round, so heating and
cooling costs are cheaper and more
consistent.
The list goes on, and most of
these features are common among
the LEED Platinum buildings in
Greensburg: the school, the 5.4.7
Arts Center (designed and con-
structed by 22 KU architecture
students in the Studio 804 gradu-
ate design program), the BTI John
Deere dealership, the hospital and
Prairie Pointe Townhomes. But all
of these significant changes to the
landscape dont erase the fact that a
tornado destroyed Greensburg and
that it could happen again.
Ray Stegman, Greensburgs
emergency manager, said earlier
this spring the whole town imme-
diately disappeared underground
and into shelters at the first news of
a tornado warning.
I think the biggest thing people
miss is the trees. Its probably the
biggest thing for me, personally.
Everyone used to sit in their back-
yard under the shade and hang out,
but there just arent that many trees
here anymore.
Stegman, who worked for local
law enforcement for 16 years be-
fore the 2007 tornado, was asked
by the city to be emergency manag-
er just two days after the tornado.
He immediately picked up the du-
ties of organizing cleanups, helping
FEMA set up trailers and whatever
else he was asked to do.
The city administration has
fought an uphill battle since May
2007, overcoming economic, envi-
ronmental and even political ob-
stacles.
Once Greensburg was estab-
lished as a burgeoning green
community, conferences for disas-
ter recovery and sustainable plan-
ning began inviting Mayor Dixson
to share his story of Greensburgs
transformation from a pile of rub-
ble into a worldwide model for sus-
tainable communities. At one such
conference, a sustainable energy
expert asked Dixson why the town
decided to rebuild in the first place,
considering the tornado left practi-
cally nothing behind and the town
was in the middle of nowhere.
It was never a question for any
of us whether we should re-
build, Dixson said. For one, its
our home, our town. And secondly,
Greensburg isnt in the middle of
nowhere. Its in the middle of
everywhere.

A spray-painted message on the side of a Greensburg business reads, Open as soon as we can. Five years after the tornado, many

Two convicts escape
in truck, now on the
run in stolen car
WINFIELD A box truck that
two inmates used to escape from
the Winfield Correctional Facility
in south-central Kansas has been
found abandoned about 15 miles
away.
The Kansas Department of
Corrections said in a news release
that the truck sustained a blow-
out northeast of Rock and was
found Sunday, June 17.
The discovery was made one
day after corrections officials
identified 52-year-old Robert
Cook and 48-year-old Frank
Crutchfield as missing.
Now, officials say a truck
belonging to the nearby city of
Douglass is missing and that the
fugitives are suspected of taking
it. The vehicle is described as a
dark blue 2006 GMC Sierra with a
Kansas license tag of 74914.
Authorities are asking anyone
with information on the where-
abouts of the two men or the
missing truck to contact law
enforcement.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ACAPULCO, Mexico Hurri-
cane Carlotta slammed into Mex-
icos resort-studded Pacifc coast
late Friday, June 15, toppling trees
and lashing hotels while authorities
evacuated people from low-lying
areas.
Te rapidly changing hurricane
made landfall as a Category 1 storm
near Puerto Escondido, a laid-back
port popular with surfers, and is
expected to push inland and north-
ward in the direction of Acapulco.
Te wind is incredible and the
trees are swaying so much. A win-
dow just shattered, said Ernesto
Lopez, a 25-year-old engineer who
was visiting Puerto Escondido in
Oaxaca state for a graduation.
Coral Ocampo, receptionist at
the Hotel Careyes, said the wind
was tearing down the skinnier palm
trees and that she had asked guests
to return to their rooms and stay
there until the storm had passed.
Oaxacas civil protection service
said some roads near the resorts of
Huatulco and Pochutla were afect-
ed by mudslides, and that authori-
ties had opened emergency shelters
and evacuated dozens of families
from low-lying areas.
Rain was also falling in Acapul-
co in neighboring Guerrero state,
but authorities lifed the hurricane
warning for the famed Pacifc resort
late Friday night and lowered it to a
tropical storm warning.
We dont care about the rain,
were going to have fun at the club,
said Alejandra Flores, who took a
bus with a friend yesterday from
Guadalajara to Acapulco.
Carlotta strengthened into a pow-
erful Category 2 hurricane Friday
and forecasters expected it to move
northward, parallel to the coast-
line, possibly reaching Acapulco as
a hurricane. But instead it moved
inland and weakened. Forecasters
then expected Carlotta to become
a tropical storm on Saturday and a
tropical depression on Sunday.
By late Friday night, Carlottas
winds had lessened to 90 mph (150
kph), according to the U.S. National
Hurricane Center in Miami. Te
center of the storm was about 10
miles (15 kms) northwest of Puer-
to Escondido and was moving to
the northwest at about 10 mph (17
kph).
Ines Vos, a German who has lived
on Mexicos coast for 22 years and
now runs the Beach Hotel Ines in
Puerto Escondido, said she had
readied the hotels generator and
stocked up on gasoline and bottled
water in preparation for the storm.

Olympic torch visits
Buckingham Palace,

LONDON The flame for the
2012 London Olympics will be
making a house call.
Olympic officials said Thurs-
day the fire will visit Queen
Elizabeths home, Buckingham
Palace, on July 26, the second-
to-last day of the 70-day torch
relay across Britain and Ireland.
The flame, which was lit in
Greece last month, will also
tour other London high points
including Downing Street,
St. Pauls Cathedral and Shake-
speares Globe theater.
Huge numbers of people have
turned up all over the country
to see the flame as it makes its
8,000-mile (12,875-kilometer)
trek around the U.K. The turnout
has prompted authorities to
bolster crowd-handling plans
for central London during the
games.
The Olympics take place from

BELLEFONTE, Pa. Afer a grip-
ping, emotionally charged four days
of testimony that saw eight men from
18 to 28 years old tell jurors that Jerry
Sandusky sexually abused them as
children, the former Penn State assis-
tant football coach will soon get to tell
his side of the story.
Sandusky himself could take the
stand in his own defense at his crimi-
nal trial, but its not certain that will
happen.
During his frst remarks to jurors,
his lawyer Joe Amendola suggested
he might, though the jury has already
heard an audio recording of a stilted
television interview Sandusky con-
ducted shortly afer his November
arrest, denying the allegations against
him.
Te defense has sought to create
doubt in jurors minds by show-
ing how the stories of accusers have
changed over time, and to paint San-
duskys interactions with children as
misunderstood and part of a lifelong
efort to help, rather than victimize
them.
Jerry, in my opinion, loves kids so
much that he does things none of us
would ever do, Amendola said at the
start of trial.
Te frst four days of testimony may
have already cast the die if jurors have
made up their minds about the cred-
ibility of the eight accusers, young
men ages 18 to 28, six without a father
in their lives, three who have never
known their fathers.
In a large and crowded courtroom,
with a crush of national media watch-
ing their every word, the accusers re-
counted in detail their experiences
with the 68-year-old Sandusky, allega-
tions that include severe sexual attacks
of children too scared and too small to
escape or fght back.
Teir testimony is the heart of the
case the government has been trying
to prove, in the words of lead prosecu-
tor Joe McGettigan, that Sandusky has
been a predatory pedophile.
Te accusers said he plied them as
children with gifs, dazzled them with
the prestige of Penn States vaunted
football program and then scaled up
physical contact from a hand on the
knee or a fatherly kiss to fondling, re-
peated oral sex and in some cases vio-
lent anal rape.
During cross-examination, Amen-
dola pressed the accusers memories
for their detailed involvement with the
kids charity Sandusky founded, arrests
or drug problems, contacts they have
had with Sandusky in the years since
the alleged abuse ended and the terms
of representation deals with civil law-
yers.
At least six said they told incorrect
or incomplete stories in early contacts
with police, and three testifed that
some of the details only came back to
them in recent years.
Jurors appear to be paying very close
attention to the trial, which in its frst
week moved along more quickly than
many observers have predicted. Te
rapid pace has lef the prosecution
close to wrapping up its case in chief,
something that could happen as early
as Monday.

With mere seconds left in the
game, Keith Langford drained his
final three pointer of the night to
tie the game at 110-110. The buzzer
went off, and event coordinator and
local media personality Brian Hanni
announced the alternate overtime
plan. The game would come down
to which coach, the reserved Blue
coach Bud Stallworth, or the rather
unreserved Red coach Scot Pollard,
could hit more free throws.
Stallworth stepped up and made
his first one, and Pollard missed
his, giving the Blue Team the vic-
tory for the second straight year.
More than 30 former players
came back to Lawrence Free State
High School to compete in the Rock
Chalk Roundball Classic, which is
an annual celebrity, charity basket-
ball game that benefits local chil-
dren and teens battling cancer.
Langford led all scorers with 47
points, which he scored in a variety
of ways. He shot three pointers and
cut into the lane for easy baskets.
He led the Blue team to a narrow
111-110 victory.
The Blue team featured Lang-
ford, Jeff Hawkins, Conner Teahan,
Lester Earl, Ryan Robertson, Dar-
nell Valentine, T.J. Pugh, Christian
Moody, Ron Kellogg and Aaron
Miles.
The Red team featured Rus-
sell Robinson, Brady Morningstar,

With the University basketball
team fnishing their season in April,
KU students have a diferent bas-
ketball team to support.
Te Oklahoma City Tunder has
gained popularity among students
because of proximity. Te Tunder
is currently playing in the NBA f-
nals against the Miami Heat afer
beating the Dallas Mavericks, the
Los Angeles Lakers and the San An-
tonio Spurs earlier in the playofs.
Cody Fawl, a senior from
Mcpherson, said he started sup-
porting the Tunder because of the
youth they have on the team, as well
as their style of play.
Tey are a fun team to watch.,
Frawl said. Tey are young, ath-
letic and fast. Tey like to get out in
transition and play a fast paced style
of basketball that is very attractive.
Te average age of the Tunder
is 25, led by Kevin Durant (23),
Russell Westbrook (23) and James
Harden (22).
Fawl says he watches most of the
games at his house but does enjoy
watching the bigger games at a bar.
I was at Brothers for Game four
of the Tunder-Lakers series, and
it was getting pretty loud in there,
Fawl said. I noticed a lot of people
cheering for the Tunder, and when
Durant hit that 26 footer to win it,
the place went crazy.
Fawl said another reason why he
supports the Tunder is because
they have two former Jayhawks on
the roster, Nick Collison and Cole
Aldrich.
I was a huge Nick Collison fan
growing up, so I followed his career
from when he was with Seattle,
Fawl said. It is awesome to see
him have a chance to compete for
a title.
Darren Tidd, a senior from
Olathe, cheers for the Tunder be-
cause of the way the team was built
through the draf.
Tey are an easy team to root
for. Tey built their roster the right
way, Tidd said. You see Miami
and Boston building their big three
through trades and free agency. Te
Tunder got Durant, Westbrook
and Harden all through the draf.
Tidd said he became a Durant
fan afer watching him play against
KU when Durant was with the Tex-
as Longhorns.
I was at the game in 2007 when
Durant came to the Fieldhouse,
Tidd said. I remember in the frst
half, he couldnt miss, and I thought
he was going to score 50. I remem-
ber he sprained his ankle in the
second half, and when he came
back out of the locker room he got
a standing ovation. I dont think Ive
ever seen KU fans give a standing
ovation to an opposing player.
When the Seattle Supersonics
drafed Kevin Durant with the sec-
ond pick in the 2007 draf, Tidd be-
came a fan because of Durant. Afer
the Supersonics moved to Okla-
homa City in 2008 as the Tunder,
Tidd said he transformed from a
Durant fan to a Tunder fan.
When they moved to Oklahoma
City, it seemed like it was easier to
cheer for them, Tidd said. Since
Kansas City doesnt have a team, I
decided to become a Tunder fan
because of how close they are to
us. Ill keep cheering for them until
Kansas City gets a team.

Kansas basketball
hires new director
Former University of Nebraska
basketball head coach Doc Sadler
will join the University of Kansas
basketball staff as Director of Bas-
ketball Operations. He will replace
Barry Hinson, who was named
head coach at Southern Illinois
University.
At Nebraska, Sadler compiled
a record of 101-89 in his six year
tenure, but had a record of just
34-63 in conference play.
This is an unbelievable op-
portunity to have a chance to get
back into college basketball, Sa-
dler said in a statement announc-
ing his hiring. When making deci-
sions, I really thought I would sit
out this year, but when this came
along I dont think anyone would
ever pass it up. I am thankful to
Coach Self in giving me this op-
portunity. To be part of a program
such as Kansas is unbelievable.
Prior to Nebraska, Sadler was
the head coach of University of
Texas at El Paso, where he had
back-to-back 20-win seasons, and
had an overall record of 48-18.

ST. LOUIS Cardinals manager
Mike Matheny had no trouble with
closer Jason Mottes two-strike pitch to
pinch-hitter Billy Butler.
Problem is, neither did Butler.
Down to the Royals last strike in the
ninth, Butler hit Mottes fastball 438
feet for a tying home run, and Kansas
City went on to beat St. Louis 5-3 in 15
innings Sunday.
Te home run was Butlers 12th this
season, but the frst of his career as a
pinch hitter.
I would have thrown the exact
same pitch, Matheny said. He threw
the exact same pitch by him twice. If he
would have thrown something else, I
probably would have been upset.
Butler, though, was ready for the
fastball.
He blew the pitch right before by
me, Butler said. I just fgured I had
to shorten up and put the barrel on it.
Tats what I did.
Motte said he was just trying to end
the game.
Tats the way it is Motte said.
One mistake in those situations (can
cost you). Give credit to Butler. Some-
times you have to tip your cap.
Yuniesky Betancourt hit a two-run
homer with two outs in the 15th to lif
the Royals to the win.
I dont even know if I could (de-
scribe it), Kansas City manager Ned
Yost said. We won, thats all I can say.
Betancourt gave the Royals a 3-2
lead in the 14th on an RBI double, but
Kansas City closer Jonathan Broxton
(1-1) gave it back. Betancourt then
came through with his next opportu-
nities.
Tats destiny, Betancourt said of
his two RBI chances through an inter-
preter. It was my opportunity to put
the team ahead twice. I was trying to
do my best and it happened.
Yadier Molina, the last available St.
Louis position player, had a pinch-hit
RBI single in the 14th of Broxton to tie
it 3-all. Broxton was perfect in the 15th
for the victory.
Tis is as tough as they have been,
Matheny said. I dont know any other
way to say it.
Matt Holliday and Allen Craig hit
back-to-back home runs for the Car-
dinals and Carlos Beltran extended his
hitting streak to 10 games with a frst-
inning single. Beltran is batting .462
(18 for 39) during his streak.
Humberto Quintero drove in the
Royals other run with an RBI single in
the second of Cardinals starter Adam
Wainwright, who allowed one run.

MLB, KU Hospital
partner to provide
first aid for events
On June 6, 2012 the University
of Kansas Hospital was named as
The Official Healthcare Provider
for Major League Baseball All-
Star Week.
In a news release by the
hospital, Major League Baseball
Properties and University of
Kansas Hospital announced that
KU physicians and nurses will be
providing first aid during All-Star
Week.
The hospital is the primary
health care provider for the
Royals players. This agreement
expands the roles of the hospital
to provide further care for both
fans and players.
Bob Page, president and CEO
of The University of Kansas
Hospital, said he is excited to
be a part of All-Star Week and is
thankful for the Royals support.
The University of Kansas
Hospital will provide our fans
the best care available if they

of corporate sales & marketing
for the MLB. We are thrilled to

Big 12
NBA FiNALs

First-year Kansas State coach Bruce
Weber is so new to the Big 12 that he
called into his frst league teleconfer-
ence from Champaign, Ill., as movers
were packing his familys belongings
for the journey to Manhattan, Kan.
Weber, West Virginias Bob Huggins
and TCUs Trent Johnson are the new-
est coaches to join the Big 12.
Weber, who was fred by Illinois in
March afer nine seasons, has been im-
pressed with what hes seen so far afer
being immersed in the Big Ten.
Te success of the Big 12 as a bas-
ketball conference, a football confer-
ence, is just pretty eye-opening to be
honest. Our whole staf, thats the one
thing weve talked a lot about, Weber
said Tursday in a call with reporters.
Comparing to the Big Ten, probably
a little better athlete and maybe a little
bit more open, up and down.
Huggins said that one of the chang-
es that fans in Morgantown are most
excited about in the leap from the 16-
team Big East to the Big 12 will be the
true round-robin schedule.
It should help the Mountaineers
generate some heated rivalries before
long.
Tere were times, I think we played
at Syracuse four years in a row and I
think Louisville played at our place
four years in a row. You dont get to see
all the teams, Huggins said. I dont
think you develop the rivalry like you
do when youre playing people on a
home-and-home basis like were going
to be able to do.
Johnson lef LSU afer four seasons
to take over at a school that got an in-
vitation to the Big 12 based on its foot-
ball success.
Teres some excitement, but also
theres a curiosity and theres a wait-
and-see approach or a wait-and-see
attitude. Can we compete? Can we get
it done at this level? And thats good,
Johnson said.
Sporting KC gets win
No. 9 over Toronto
KANSAS CITY, Kan. C.J. Sapong
and Julio Cesar scored in the frst
half to help Sporting Kansas City
beat Toronto FC 2-0 on Saturday
night, spoiling the debut of new
manager Paul Mariner.
Mariner, who had been Torontos
director of player development,
took over last week when Aron
Winter was fred after a 1-9-0 start.
Graham Zusi had his eighth
assist for Sporting (9-3-1), moving
him back into a share of the MLS
lead with Dwayne De Rosario of
D.C. United, and Jimmy Nielsen
made three saves for his sixth
shutout.
Sapong put Kansas City up 1-0
in the 18th minute, scoring from
close range after a cross from Jacob
Peterson, and Julio Cesar added an
insurance goal in the 35th when he
volleyed home Zusis corner kick
from the top right corner of the
6-yard box.

MIAMI LeBron James and the
Heat remember the pain from a year
ago.
Tey needed two wins for a title
and never got another, their superstar
player coming up small in the biggest
moments a fnals failure for which
James has accepted the blame.
He seems determined not to let it
happen again.
James had 29 points and 14 re-
bounds, and the Miami Heat took a
2-1 lead in the NBA Finals with a 91-
85 victory over the Oklahoma City
Tunder on Sunday night.
Dwyane Wade had 25 points, seven
rebounds and seven assists for the
Heat, who were in this same position
through three games last year, then
didnt win again against the Dallas
Mavericks.
Kevin Durant had 25 points for the
Tunder, but picked up his fourth foul
in the third quarter and had to go to
the bench when they had seemed to
have control of the game.
It was frustrating, Durant said. Of
course we had a good lead and they
came back and made some shots. We
fouled shooters on the 3-point line
twice. Its a tough break for us, man.
You know, I hate sitting on the bench,
especially with fouls.
Te Tunder were just 4 of 18 on
3-pointers and hit only 15 of 24 free
throws. Harden, the Sixth Man of the
Year, shot 2 of 10 for his nine points.
Westbrook fnished with 19 points.
Te Heat survived their own fourth-
quarter sloppiness nine turnovers
by getting enough big plays from
their Big Tree.
Game 4 is Tuesday night.
Heat hold home court, take 2-1 lead over Thunder
