Students at Naismith Hall say
theyve found themselves in an
uncomfortable situation.
Since the former management
company, AIMCO, was bought out
by Campus Advantage Inc., a student
housing management company, for-
mer student resident advisers or
SRAs say Naismith has become
a place of distress for residents and
student resident advisers. Several
former SRAs and directors attribute
the problem to the new lease special-
ist, Ryan Shreeve.
Shreeve declined to comment on
the issues addressed in the story.
It went completely awry when
Ryan took over, said Lauren Merget,
Overland Park senior and former
resident director.
Merget is one of the many resi-
dential employees who resigned
her position at Naismith because of
alleged issues with Shreeves man-
agement style.
Merget said she noticed a dif-
ference immediately when the new
company took
over Naismith.
One of the
vice presidents
of the company
came in, and he
was so positive
and had so many
good things to
say, Merget said.
But the message
and vision he
was presenting
to us wasnt being
implementing when he left.
Fourth floor resident adviser,
Stephen Eidelman, Brooklyn, N.Y.,
junior, said the trouble started when
Shreeve began to assume the duties
of the regional
property man-
ager who is cur-
rently on mater-
nity leave.
Anyone who
opposed him got
fired, Eidelman
said. He said
the entire RA
staff was replace-
able.
E i d e l ma n
said he quit
because there were too many double
standards which were causing rifts
between the residents and advisers.
He explained that Shreeve favored
some people more than others and
allowed them to behave in ways that
were detrimental to an educational
atmosphere.
One alleged problem was
Shreeves re-institution of the red
cup rule, which allowed underaged
students to drink alcohol in and
around the hall, as long as it was in
a red cup. This directly violates the
leasing contract, which states under
section 9-D, Resident Parties shall
not engage in unlawful, improper,
unreasonable or prohibited behav-
ior, all of which shall be a breach
Anyone who opposed him got
fred. He said the entire RA staf
was replaceable.

Change in management prompts
concern about complex supervision
By EricK r. Schmidt
Jason Allen Roses history with
fire and mental capacity were at
the center of questioning as the
Boardwalk Trial entered its seventh
day on Tuesday.
Defense attorney Ron Evans
focused his questioning on a series
of alleged incidents of Rose playing
with matches or lighters and his
clients learning impairments.
Rose is accused of starting the
October 2005 Boardwalk Apartments
fire, which killed residents Jose
Gonzalez, Helen Yolanda Riddle
and KU student Nicole Bingham.
Rose is charged with aggravated
arson, three counts of murder and
seven counts of aggravated battery.
The case originally went to trial in
February but was declared a mistrial
because of a late-surfacing witness.
Kimberley Smith, a Kansas
Department of Social and
Rehabilitation Services work-
er from Roses hometown of El
Dorado, told the jury of Roses
upbringing in as many as 10 dif-
ferent residences. Smith said that
between the time Rose was first
put into group housing in 1989
and the time he left his final group
house in 2005, he was in trouble
several times as a child for playing
with lighters, matches and smok-
ing cigarettes. Smith said that none
of those instances involved Rose
starting any fires.
Robert Kidder was Roses house
parent at The Villages, a group
housing unit for troubled children,
between 2001 and 2005. Kidder said
he was aware that Rose was a trou-
bled youth, but that nothing in his
past warned him from bringing Rose
into the home.
There was nothing indicating
Jason was a firestarter, Kidder said.
We saw that Jason was pretty much
a child who had been taken out of
his home and probably had a lower
emotional age and a lower IQ and
had nowhere left to go.
Kidder described Rose as hav-
ing traits of a 3-year-old at times
and at others, a mentality of a 10-
year old. He said Roses occasional
temper tantrums were like that of
a child.

Students can now find more
information on the KU Bookstores
Web site about textbook require-
ments, but local private bookstores
worry they will now have difficul-
ties finding out which textbooks
they need.
KUBookstore.com now allows
anyone to look up the ISBN barcode
needed to find the correct edition of
each textbook required for summer
and fall classes. Previously, students
had to call or go into the bookstores
to get the ISBN.
Students have the right to this
information, said Tim Norris, KU
Bookstores director. Why not
make it easily available?
Norris said the new service
would let students find out which
books they need, allowing them to
look online or through textbook
exchanges.
He said it would also allow
private bookstores to find which
books they needed to stock. Up
to now, KU Bookstores gave the
private stores this information
through paper printouts of the
textbook requisitions that faculty
provided. They are stopping this
practice and asking the stores to
look online.
Bill Madl, textbook director for
Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent
Road, said the online listings only
provided the bare bones of text-
book information.
The listings provide the title,
author and ISBN of each book.
Madl that said the paper printouts
that private bookstores received
in the past also contained other
pieces of information, such as esti-
mated enrollment numbers and
messages from course instructors
about multiple editions that could
be used.

Residents set rent,
review possible
new roommates
By KyLE cArtEr
Steam rises from a pot of boiling
water in the kitchen of the Ad Astra
house as a large bowl of pasta boils
on the stove next to another pot filled
with oatmeal. Sara Anderson, a 2006
University of Kansas graduate with
short brown hair and freckles, giggles
as she dances a few feet away with
her hands in the air alongside another
giddy brunette, Lawrence junior Bonnie
Robinson, who is about a head shorter
with longer hair. Loud electronic music
blares from a small, black boom box.
In the next room over, a few
other roommates watch a movie and
another is buried in a book. They
seem completely unaffected by the
dance party in the kitchen and one
pops her head in for a second to
check her oatmeal.
Nine people live at the Ad Astra
house, a co-op at 1033 Kentucky Street
where the tenants serve as their own
landlords, including regulating their
rent and reviewing applications from
potential roommates. The University of
Kansas Student Housing Association,
which has no affiliation with the
University, bought the house for $1
from the Kansas University Endowment
Association when it was scheduled for
demolition in 2005 to make room for a
new scholarship hall.
shoes of the nine residents who live in the
Ad Astra house, 1033 Kentucky St., lie in the
homes entryway Tuesday evening. The house,
which has existed as the Ad Astra house for
about two years, is a co-op where the tenants
serve as their own landlords.

Rachel Magarios smile lights up
the room as she tells her life story
a story that began in Santos, So
Paulo, Brazil, and went from there to
Chile, Peru, and finally, the United
States. Although her life has taken
her from one country to another,
Magario has one constant in her life
her dog. Hamlet, an 11-year-old
black lab, is Magarios source of com-
panionship, but more importantly,
Hamlet is Magarios seeing eye dog.
Usually, dogs retire at age nine
or 10, Magario said. But really, you
retire a dog when he wants to retire,
and he doesnt want to.
Magario has been blind since she
was six years old. To some, her blind-
ness may be a disability, but for her,
it is simply a character builder.
I dont even like the word dis-
abled, she said. I might be limited
in some parts of my life, but Im
overly talented in others. Everyone
is like that. I do feel that I can do
anything that anyone else can, I just
have to use different means.
Magario said that it was some-
times difficult for her to get around
a college campus the size of the
Universitys, but she doesnt let that
slow her down. Instead, she trans-
forms problems into solutions.
I have a journal, and in it I write
down what I see is wrong and pos-
sible alternatives for it, she said.
Some of these alternatives include
building a tactile map of campus, in
which Braille and raised lines and
symbols are used to show topograph-
ic features. Though she said it took
a couple of years to get the cam-
pus down, she hoped it would take
much less time for future students.
When Magario was applying to
universities in the United States 10
years ago, the first university that
accepted her was the University of
Kansas. She had wanted to attend
either Harvard or New York
University, but her parents urged her
to come to the University because
her dad, who had visited Kansas on
business trips in the past, thought
Lawrence would be a safer environ-
ment for her.
She arrived at the University in
1997, but in May 1998, she was hit
by a car on campus. She suffered
severe kidney damage as a result of
the accident. Somehow, though, she
remained positive about the tragedy.
Yeah, it got in the way, but it
didnt stop me, she said. Thats
something Im proud of I didnt
lose hope on life.
In 2004, Magario graduated from
the University with two undergradu-
ate degrees in communication stud-
ies and geography. She is now in her
second year of graduate school, pur-
suing a masters degree in education.
She said she could see herself
going to law school one day; in 10
years she hopes to be helping imple-
ment policy change to create better
technology and accessibility for peo-
ple with disabilities. But no matter
what Magario is doing 10 years from
now, she said shed be doing it on her
own terms.
I know who I am, she said. Im
not trying to be somebody else. Im
comfortable with who I am, and Im
happy with who I am.

of this Lease, including the follow-
ing: serving alcoholic beverages in
Common Areas.
Its hard to discipline someone
when they say, Ryan said its OK,
Eidelman said.
Eidelman said upon his resigna-
tion from Naismith, Shreeve offered
him a resident director position,
which would have paid about $80
more a week, and reimbursement on
his tuition to remain in his position.
That money would have likely come
out of the summer budget for staff,
Eidelman said.
Im the last person who quit,
and he was begging me to stay,
Eidelman said. The whole thing is
ridiculous.
Anna Wood, Chicago senior and
former resident director, said her
disapproval of the red cup rule
wasnt the reason she was fired by
Shreeve.
Wood said that in the early morn-
ing hours of April 5, a fire broke out
in a residents bathroom. She said,
the resident had previously been out
drinking with Shreeve. She said the
fire began in the residents bathroom
when a towel caught fire.
Wood said protocol required her
to call Shreeve for emergencies. She
said she called Shreeve to handle the
situation.
Although Wood said Shreeve did
not answer the phone, she said she
received a call from him later that
morning. She said he seemed intoxi-
cated. Wood said she told Shreeve
that he needed to sober up and
come help me out. Although Shreeve
was resistant, he arrived at Naismith
approximately two hours later.
Two weeks following the inci-
dent, Wood said she was fired by a
Campus Advantage manager. When
Wood asked Shreeve about her fir-
ing, Wood said Shreeve attributed
her dismissal to her inappropriate
suggestion to sober up.
Ray Jess, Buffalo Grove, Ill.,
senior and another former resident
director, said he had many negative
encounters with Shreeve since the
spring semester began.
Jess and the other resident direc-
tors said Naismith had been under-
staffed since Shreeves employment
because four employees were fired
and another nine who quit.
Late in the semester, Jess said he
encountered a problem trying to
staff a 4 to 8 a.m. shift, about which
he called three staff members to ask
if they were available.
Jess said he was asked to report to
Shreeves office soon after.
He called me in, accusing me of
waking up the entire staff because I was
too lazy to work it myself, Jess said.
During an employee meeting
later that day, Jess said he asked to
use the restroom, and after being
denied by Shreeve, left for the rest-
room. Although Jess has a medical
condition for which he must use the
restroom when necessary, Shreeve
allegedly said his leaving was disre-
spectful and insubordinate.
It was ridiculous, Jess said.
Were in college, I dont think we
should even have to ask to go to the
restroom.
Jess said he was eventually fired
for submitting a PowerPoint presen-
tation to Campus Advantage cor-
porate, throughout which Shreeve
was in several photographs drinking
alcohol with minors. Another series
of photographs depicts Shreeve and
at least two students, traveling with
open alcoholic containers in the
vehicle.
Although Shreeve declined to
comment, Stewart Davis, regional
vice president of Campus Advantage
and Naismith Hall, briefly addressed
the situation.
I was one of the people who
received the PowerPoint, and we
took it very seriously, Davis said.
We investigated it fully and found it
without merit.
Davis said he thought there was
a lot of misinformation being pro-
vided because students were unhap-
py with the change in management
companies. He also said that Shreeve
was not acting as the regional prop-
erty manager and that the regional
property manager would resume her
duties in mid- to late June.
The former resident directors,
Merget, Jess and Wood, said they
were instructed by Shreeve to docu-
ment any problems, such as damage
to property or refusal by a resident to
pour out an alcoholic beverage; how-
ever, the former employees said they
were frustrated because no action
was taken after filing the documents
with management.
Our authority our job rights
and responsibilities were taken
away and the residents reacted in
harmful ways, Merget said. They
knew they could get away with it.
Three current residents, who asked
for anonymity because they feared
retaliation by Shreeve, said that Shreeve
would belittle the resident advisers and
directors in front of them.
The first resident said that during
a party at the hall, a resident adviser
chose what Shreeve thought was the
wrong song during a party. He said
Shreeve proceeded to tell nearby
residents that the staff messed up
again.
At other times, Shreeve was alleg-
edly seen publicly arguing with resi-
dent advisers, snapping at them and
insulting their ability to perform
their job.
During rounds one evening,
Shreeve, Wood and Merget found
residents drinking in the hall. Merget
said she attempted to make them
pour it out, as hall rule stated. But
she said Shreeve told her the staff
was not to make residents pour out
alcohol in red cups.
I knew at that moment, I could
no longer ask these residents to do
anything, because they wouldnt lis-
ten to me anymore, Merget said.
Merget said that she also witnessed
Shreeve yelling at Eidelman in the hall
lobby and that he continued to yell
while he followed Eidelman outside to
the bus stop.
Eidelman said he last knew that
there were only seven resident advis-
ers remaining, not even enough to
have one on each of Naismiths nine
residential floors.
The second anonymous resi-
dent said Shreeve told residents he
wanted to make Naismith the next
Abercrombie and Fitch and started
playing loud music in the hall. She
said this was unprofessional and
embarrassing because tours were
being held for prospective residents.
She said she had seen her share of
disturbing changes in the hall.
If I could break my lease, I
would, the second source said. Its
hard to study with people running
down the halls, drinking, yelling.
AIMCO would never have allowed
the noise.
The disturbing event for many
residents was the Hot Body Contest
Shreeve allegedly organized and
announced using the emergency-
only intercom system. Speakers for
the system are in every room of the
hall.
The first anonymous resident said
Shreeve offered residents $25 to par-
ticipate in the contest because no
one offered to be involved. The res-
dient said that drug use was rampant
in the hall and that people got away
with it because there were so few
resident advisers left.
You can smell marijuana any-
where. Youd get high just walking
down the hall, the resident said. My
dorm is more of a whorehouse.
The freshman said the adver-
tising scheme Shreeve devised for
Naismith was not what he expected
of a professional business.
This place is dirty just because
of all the advertisements, especially
phallic jokes, said the resident. He
said one advertisement read Lick it,
suck it, taste it Live the sweet life.
The resident said he would not
return to Naismith in the fall.
I feel very uncomfortable around
him, said a third anonymous resident
of Shreeve. Its scary, and I dont feel
like they have their priorities straight,
or he doesnt.
The resident said her mother had
called several times to complain
about the noise, drinking and drug
use, because the resident and her
roommates had complained with no
success.
Merget said she was disappointed
that she couldnt fulfill her duties as
a resident director at Naismith. She
said she enjoyed helping students
with school and personal issues
within the hall.
The place thats advertised is not
necessarily what youre going to get,
Merget said.
Jess said during his three years as
a resident and employee at Naismith,
he had never seen the hall in the
state it was in right now.
Management is neglecting to
focus on whats important: the atmo-
sphere for the residents, Jess said.
Theyre giving the idea that Were
here to let you party, and thats not
an academic environment where you
can succeed.

Theres a lot of nuances that
arent going to be able to be tacked
on simply through this Web site,
Madl said.
Brad Heins, store manager
for University Book Shop, 1116
W. 23rd St., said he worried that
the new system would cause
private bookstores to receive
information about textbook
adoptions later than they had
in the past.
It is definitely going to cause
problems in our ability to effec-
tively get books on the shelves for
the students in a timely manner,
Heins said.
Madl and Heins both said they
thought the change would result in
higher prices and lower buyback
amounts for students.
Norris said the change would
actually help the private retail-
ers, allowing them to find text-
book information online instead
of going to the Kansas Union to
get paper copies of the informa-
tion.
In this day and age, I think most
people would prefer to go online
and look at something, Norris said.
They dont really need to come
in and collect countless pieces of
paper.
He said that KU Bookstores
would update the listings whenever
they received new information and
that the new system would give all
people equal access to information
about textbooks.
Why do they think we should
pick three stores in town and make
sure that they get treatment beyond
what students might get? Norris
said.

Kidder was questioned by
assistant district attorney Amy
McGowen about his posts on the
Lawrence Journal-Worlds Web site,
www.ljworld.com during Roses ini-
tial trial in February. A poster on
one of the sites message boards had
made a post during the trial about a
comment Rose had allegedly made
months before the fire. That post
was made under the screen name
Truth who was Emily Robinson,
the late-surfacing witness who took
the stand Monday.
McGowan asked Kidder
about a message he had sent to
Robinson under his screenname
Thinkb4uspeak.
You were doing your own inves-
tigation, werent you? McGowan
asked.
Yes, Kidder said.
A series of witnesses were also
brought in Tuesday and asked
questions about their relationship
to Robinson. Most were members
or former employees of Robinsons
church where she alleged Rose to
have promised a fire in the future.
All of the witnesses denied hearing
anything about fire from Rose while
in the churchs youth group.
Jill Powell, a social worker at The
Villages, told jurors she took a spe-
cial interest in Rose while he was
living in the house.
He didnt really have anyone else
to do that piece, Powell said. He
was pretty much alone.
Evans also questioned Curt
Hackshorn on Tuesday. Hackshorn
is a fire chief in Belton, Mo., who
specializes in fire assessment. He
said there were a number of factors
that made him question the prosecu-
tions assessment of where and how
the fire began.
There are three different causes:
accidental, incendiary and unde-
termined, Hackshorn said. At this
particular time I would say this fire
is undetermined.
Hackshorn investigated the fire
after the Department of Alcohol,
Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives
had done the initial investigation.
He said eyewitnesses reported every-
thing from multiple explosions to
possible drug trafficking in the
building. Hackshorn said the ATF
had acted inappropriately by rul-
ing out accidental beginnings to the
fire.
Assistant district attorney David
Melton cross-examined Hackshorn
and called into question the evi-
dence he had to work with. He asked
Hackshorn if he had less evidence to
work with than the ATF.
Oh, absolutely, Hackshorn said.
The jury also heard from a for-
mer teacher of Jason Allen Rose,
Catherine Lyman. Lyman told the
jury that Rose had trouble with
math and written language, but that
she had no behavior problems with
him.
He functioned at a level aca-
demically lower than others, Lyman
said. I would say his development
socially was also lower, in terms of
maturity.
The trial is expected to last up to
two weeks and will begin again this
morning at 9 a.m.

FRESNO, Calif. Police arrested
a college student Tuesday suspected
of opening fire in an off-campus
apartment during a dispute over
a video game console, killing one
man and wounding two others.
Jonquel Brooks, 19, was taken
into custody after a series of intense
phone negotiations with police, his
parents and an attorney, Fresno
Police Chief Jerry Dyer said.
Brooks, a freshman at Fresno
State University, was arrested on
suspicion of murder and assault
with a deadly weapon following
a manhunt by police and federal
agents in the neighborhoods sur-
rounding the university.
The suspect had altered his
appearance significantly, Dyer
said. He shaved his head and also
changed his clothing apparently in
an attempt to avoid being recog-
nized.
The incident began when Brooks
got into a confrontation with four
men over a Sony PlayStation con-
sole shortly after 11 p.m. Monday,
Dyer said.
One of the wounded men,
returning home with a bloody ban-
dage on his left shoulder, told The
Associated Press that the dispute
started when he and the other vic-
tims accused Brooks of stealing a
Playstation console and game.
The guy who shot us he
had stolen from our apartment.
We went to confront him with the
evidence and it just turned ugly
from there. He pulled a gun out on
us, said Drew Pfeiff, 22, of Raleigh,
N.C. People dont deserve to die
for stupid stuff
like this.
The gunman
fired five or six
times, grazing
Pfeiff.
Police said
the shooting
occurred in
Brooks apart-
ment but spilled
into a hallway.
Police said
Brooks knew his
alleged victims and they all lived
in the same apartment complex,
located just north of the Fresno
State football stadium.
The Fresno County Coroners
Office identified the deceased vic-
tim as a Brant Daniels, 19, who had
moved from the Los Angeles area
to attend Fresno State but was not a
current student.
Police identified the two wound-
ed men as Fresno State student
Roderick Buycks, 19, and Pfeiff,
who police said is not enrolled at
the university.
The two men were treated at
a hospital for gunshot wounds
and later released. It was unclear
what happened to the fourth man
involved in the fight.
School administrators opted not
to cancel class-
es Tuesday at
the 20,000-stu-
dent university,
in part because
a u t h o r i t i e s
were in contact
with Brooks by
telephone and
knew he was
not on campus,
Dyer said.
D y e r
said police
received a call around 4 a.m. from
Brooks mother, who told officers
her son was on the other line
and wanted to negotiate his sur-
render. After hours of three-way
conversations, Brooks arranged
to turn himself in at 9 a.m. at
Fresno police headquarters,
where his father was waiting, but
the suspect didnt appear.

The housing association moved
the house from its previous loca-
tion at 1309 Kentucky St., where it
was originally built by KU professor
A.M. Wilcox more than 100 years
ago and established it as its third
student co-operative in town. The
Association also runs the Sunflower
House, located at 1406 Tennesse St.,
and the 1614 house, which is located
at 1614 Kentucky St.
Aaron Paden, executive director
of the housing association, said mov-
ing the house turned out to be a
bigger project than he anticipated.
Inching down the hill on 13th Street,
it leaned so far that he worried it
would tip over and the house would
be destroyed. The house sat on a
trailer with two tow trucks attached
to keep it from speeding down the
hill.
It was like, whoa, Paden said of
seeing the house travel down the hill.
It looked huge
coming down
that street.
Overhanging
trees scraped
shingles off the
roof and the tow
trucks left grooves
in the street due
to the weight of
the house.
The housing
association also
ran out of money
during the process,
leaving the basement unfinished and
some of the house was not painted.
Paden said the dollar price tag was mis-
leading because of the other costs that
came along with moving the house. The
transaction also saved the University
the cost of demolishing the house.
One of the bummers about mov-
ing an old house is that the expense
of moving things like cable and elec-
tric lines is completely on the mov-
ers, Paden said.
The original tenants drew up a
house manifesto, defining sustain-
able living and group cooperation
as goals.
You are your own landlord,
Paden said. Where else do you vote
on rent increases?
Residents also have free rein to
design their rooms how they please.
Sara Anderson, an original resident
of the house, painted her room dark
blue with colorful abstract designs.
She bordered the walls with vines
and flowers. She and her roommates
used all-natural milk paint on the
walls to be consistent with the goal
of being sustainable.
Anderson moved in when the
house opened in the fall of 2005. She
graduated last fall with a degree in
speech and language pathology and
now works for the department of
design and construction manage-
ment on campus.
Residents dont sign a lease when
they move in but rather pay rent on
a month to month basis and are free
to move out when they please. Rent
ranges from $250 to $315 a month
and includes all utilities. Everyone
also pitches in $10 a month toward
food purchased in bulk.
Anderson said the Ad Astra resi-
dents grew a garden to keep food
costs down and maintained a com-
post pile to
avoid unnec-
essary waste.
She admits the
house still has
a way to go
toward being
s us t a i na bl e .
A few of the
original resi-
dents who drew
up the goals for
the house are
still around but
many others
have come and gone.
Were still working on things,
she said, People are kind of in and
out and they have varying interest in
the house and the projects.
Bonnie Robinson, Lawrence
junior, moved in weeks after the
house opened. Robinson hit it off
with her new friends while driving
back to the house where they used
the rocks to landscape the front yard.
Robinson moved in a few days later.
Robinson said people were con-
stantly coming and going through-
out the day because the house had
nine residents. All nine meet every
Sunday evening to discuss issues
affecting the house and to plan
future projects to ensure they are on
the same page.
One was a workshop that taught
the residents to make non-hazardous
cleaning products. Another night the
house hosted a soap-making party.
Any time someone here has
something they want to teach people
they just bring it up at the meeting,
Anderson said.
Madeline DeCotes, who moved
into the house in January from
Nashville, Tenn., did just that. Shed
practiced Kundalini Yoga for two
and a half years and wanted to share
it with others in the house. Decotes
said it improved her life dramati-
cally, including helping her to quit
smoking pot.
Doing any drug, you want to
change your mindset, your con-
sciousness; this type of yoga does
that, she said.
One part of the yoga is the breath
of fire, designed to overwhelm the
body with oxygen in a short amount
of time. DeCotes breathes sharply
in and out of her nose, her nos-
trils expanding and contracting with
each rush of air as she twists her
torso simultaneously. She alternates
this with slow, deliberate breaths,
holding her eyes closed and smiling
peacefully.
DeCotes said she usually practiced
with two others in the house but want-
ed to provide a weekly workshop for the
rest of the house and anyone else who
wanted to join, which she brought up at
the meeting. They decided Wednesdays
would work best.
On a weekend in February the
house played host to a benefit party
for a friend who was hospital-
ized after a sting-ray attack. Studie
Redcorn, Shawnee junior and an
original resident, held Delta Force
parties at the house last year when he
ran for student body president.
Redcorn lives in the basement,
a recently completed addition to
the house. The housing association
ran out of money while moving the
house and couldnt finish the inte-
rior immediately, but Paden said
that despite the financial strain, the
co-op proved to be a worthwhile
project.
It wouldve ended up in a land-
fill, he said.
The history of co-ops in Lawrence
is intertwined with that of KU stu-
dent housing. The Ad Astra house
may never have existed if it were
not for the scholarship hall built on
the site of its former location. The
Sunflower House, which was the first
co-op in town, temporarily closed
after the dorms on Daisy Hill were
built. Paden said the Sunflower
House reopened in the late 1960s
and its success since then led to the
establishment of the Ad Astra House.
For now, Redcorn said the room-
mates were saving money to install
new windows to save energy. The
windows in the house now are as old
as the house is. Eventually, hed like
to install solar panels on the roof to
further save energy.
Paden admits the house hasnt
accomplished everything it set out
to do.
The house itself is far from sus-
tainability, he said, but thats good
because it gives them something to
work towards.

FORT DIX, N.J. Six foreign-
born Muslims were arrested and
accused Tuesday of plotting to attack
Fort Dix and slaughter scores of U.S.
soldiers a scheme the FBI said was
foiled when the men asked a store
clerk to copy a video of them fir-
ing assault weapons and screaming
about jihad.
The defendants, all men in their
20s from the former Yugoslavia and
the Middle East, include a pizza
deliveryman suspected of using his
job to scout out the military base.
Their goal was to kill as many
American soldiers as possible with
mortars, rocket-propelled grenades
and guns, prosecutors said.
Today we dodged a bullet. In
fact, when you look at the type of
weapons that this group was trying
to purchase, we may have dodged
a lot of bullets, FBI agent J.P. Weis
said. We had a group that was form-
ing a platoon to take on an army.
They identified their target, they
did their reconnaissance. They had
maps. And they were in the process
of buying weapons. Luckily, we were
able to stop that.
Authorities said there was no
direct evidence connecting the men
to any international terror organiza-
tions such as al-Qaida. But several of
them said they were ready to kill and
die in the name of Allah, according
to court papers.
Investigators said they infiltrated
the group with two informants well
over a year ago and bided their
time while they secretly recorded
the defendants, five of whom lived in
Cherry Hill, a Philadelphia suburb
about 20 miles from Fort Dix.
This is what law enforcement
is supposed to do in the post-9/11
era stay one step ahead of those
who are attempting to cause harm
to innocent American citizens, U.S.
Attorney Christopher Christie said.
Weis saluted the unidentified
New Jersey store clerk who noticed
the suspicious video as the unsung
hero of the case. Thats why were
here today because of the courage
and heroism of that individual, the
FBI agent said.
In addition to plotting the attack
on Fort Dix, the defendants spoke
of assaulting a Navy installation
in Philadelphia during the annual
Army-Navy football game and con-
ducted surveillance at other military
installations in the region, prosecu-
tors said.
One defendant, Eljvir Duka, was
recorded as saying: In the end,
when it comes to defending your
religion, when someone ... attacks
your religion, your way of life, then
you go jihad.
The six were arrested Monday
night trying to buy AK-47 assault
weapons, and other weapons from
an FBI informant, authorities said.
They appeared in federal court
Tuesday in Camden and were
ordered held without bail for a hear-
ing Friday. Five were charged with
conspiracy to kill U.S. military per-
sonnel.

WASHINGTON Queen
Elizabeth II paid tribute to
American soldiers with a trip to the
National World War II Memorial
Tuesday, winding up her six-day
American visit.
Accompanied by former presi-
dent George H. W. Bush, a veteran
of the war, and his wife, Barbara,
the queen placed a wreath in honor
of the 400,000 U.S. soldiers who
died. It said: In memory of the
glorious dead.
Afterward there was a drum roll
and a bugler played taps.
Dressed in a blue suit and hat,
the queen then joined a park ranger
for a walk around a fountain at the
center of the memorial, stopping to
look at the Lincoln Memorial and
the Washington Monument before
veterans of the war, some in wheel-
chairs.
One of the veterans Marjorie
Gallun, 85, who said she served in
the Marine Corps told the queen:
We are happy to have you here.
The queen politely replied: We
are happy to be here.
Outside the memorial, there was
a crowd of several hundred behind
a picket fence, on which two Union
Jacks were draped. The crowd
applauded as the queens limousine
went by.
It was the British monarchs first
visit to the war memorial, which
was dedicated in 2004. The queen, a
teenage princess during World War
II, served her country in the war as
a driver in the Womens Auxiliary
Territorial Service, the womens
branch of the British Army.
She was to conclude her
Washington visit by hosting a din-
ner for the Bushes at the British
Embassy Tuesday night, a return
favor for the white-tie state dinner
Bush put on for the royal couple
Monday night at the White House.
It was a full day of sightseeing in
the U.S. capital. The queen started
off with a trip to NASAs Goddard
Space Flight Center in suburban
Maryland, where she heard three
astronauts describe their work
aboard the international space sta-
tion.
The crew members American
Suni Williams and two Russians,
Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin
and Oleg Kotov answered ques-
tions from British-born NASA
astronaut C. Michael Foale, who
stood next to the queen at the cen-
ter.
The video link was one-way, so
the crew members could not see the
queen standing by silently wearing
a large yellow hat.
After hearing from the astro-
nauts, the British monarch toured
Goddard and helped plant a tree
in the garden commemorating her
visit. The flight center is home to
the largest organization of scientists
and engineers in the United States,
according to NASA.

WASHINGTON General
Motors Corp., and nearly a dozen
other major companies, have joined
the growing number of business-
es calling for limits on greenhouse
gases to combat global warming.
General Motors on Tuesday
became the first automobile manu-
facturer to join the U.S. Climate
Action Partnership, a coalition of
corporate executives that wants
Congress to enact an economy-wide
mandatory cap on carbon dioxide
emissions.
The group announced the addi-
tion of 14 new members includ-
ing General Motors, PepsiCo, Royal
Dutch Shells U.S. subsidiary and two
environmental organizations. Shell,
which became the third oil company
to join the group, had made its deci-
sion known last week.
With this lineup of companies
and environmental groups endors-
ing it, a carbon cap is clearly the
consensus solution to climate
change, said Fred Krupp, president
of Environmental Defense, one of
the original coalition members.
General Motors said in a state-
ment that the automaker views the
need to promote energy security and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions as
both a business necessity and an
obligation to society.
We especially applaud (the coali-
tion) for recognizing the important
role that technology can play in
achieving an economy-wide solu-
tion to climate change, said GM
Chairman Rick Wagoner.
In March, Wagoner said at a
congressional hearing that GM was
ready to discuss carbon constraints
as part of a broader climate change
strategy.
Also joining the industry coali-
tion, known as USCAP, were: Alcan
Inc., the Canadian-based aluminum
company; American International
Group; Boston Scientific;
ConocoPhillips; tractor manufactur-
er Deere & Co.; Dow Chemical Co.;
Johnson & Johnson; the technology
conglomerate Siemens Corp.; Marsh
Inc., and two environmental groups,
the National Wildlife Federation and
the Nature Conservancy.
The coalition announced in
January its intention to press
Congress for so-called cap-and-trade
legislation to limit greenhouse gas
emissions. Its original 10 members
included BP America, Duke Energy
Corp. and General Electric Co.
There have been a number of
climate bills introduced in Congress,
calling for mandatory limits on
greenhouse gases which scientists
fear will cause a warming of the
Earth if atmospheric concentrations
are not stabilized by mid-century.

WAKARUSA Nearly two
dozen counties were dealing with
flooding Tuesday morning as run-
off from weekend storms continued
to fill creeks and streams.
Bill Miskell, spokesman for the
Kansas Department of Emergency
Management, said local officials
were monitoring waterways and
advising residents of the potential
for flooding. Nineteen counties
have declared local disaster emer-
gencies because of the rising water.
Areas of greatest concern were
in Atchison and Doniphan counties
along the west bank of the Missouri
River.
We are cautiously optimistic.
So much of this dependent on the
weather, not just here but north
of us. Streams where the potential
exists are being monitored, Miskell
said.
Some residents near Yoder were
being evacuated Tuesday morning
as the Arkansas River came out of
its banks, said Bill Guy, director of
Emergency Management for Reno
County.
Residents in south Hutchinson
were sandbagging Tuesday and high
water was affecting many roads
from Hutchinson to Haven. A few
levy breaks were reported along the
Arkansas River near Haven.
The conditions have improved
from Monday when residents were
forced from their homes across the
state.
Flooding along the Wakarusa
River cut off its namesake com-
munity south of Topeka. Residents
used boats to rescue 22 people from
their homes in the small town, said
Willie Peterman, a district chief for
an area fire department.
The only reported death
occurred Monday morning in west-
ern Butler County, east of Wichita.
Sheriff Craig Murphy said Richard
Bonner, 58, of Benton, died when
his sport utility vehicle overturned
and flipped into a water-filled ditch
along a gravel road between Benton
and Andover.
Cow Creek, in central Kansas,
rose rapidly from weekend rain that
totaled 10 to 12 inches in some
places. In rural Rice County, resi-
dents and rescuers used personal
watercraft to navigate the high
water and evacuate neighbors from
stranded homes.
I think every home within
a quarter mile up and down the
river is flooded for sure, Saxman
resident Chad Mathews told The
Hutchinson News. He estimated
that Cow Creek was at least one-
and-a-quarter miles wide at his
home.
In Lyons, Cow Creek was expect-
ed to crest Tuesday night at 21 feet
roughly 3 feet over flood stage.
High water kept several students
and a few teachers from reach-
ing Lyons High School and Park
Elementary School on Monday.
Several roads in Reno County
also were closed Monday, and
authorities were unable to estimate
when they would reopen.
Authorities rescued about 500
people early Monday around
Topeka, many along the swollen
Shunganunga and Soldier creeks in
the central and northern parts of
the city, said Dave Bevans, a spokes-
man for Shawnee County emer-
gency operations. Many were pulled
from their homes starting at 2 a.m.,
and the Red Cross set up a shelter
inside the Kansas Expocentre con-
vention hall.
Officials reported similar evacu-
ations by boat in Saline County,
about 100 miles to the west, where
some locations received 8 inches of
rain over the weekend. Flooding
forced the evacuation of New
Cambria, a town of about 150 peo-
ple northeast of Salina.
Forecasters predicted a dimin-
ished chance of new storms in many
areas, but across the eastern half of
the state, where rivers and creeks
had risen and the ground was satu-
rated, people still watched the sky.
In Rossville, northwest of
Topeka, Dennis Hall was busy plac-
ing sandbags around his split-level
ranch home.
All we can do is wait, Hall said.
We just dont need any more rain.
In Dickinson County, authorities
warned people living within 2 miles
of the Smoky Hill River between
Solomon and Chapman to expect
flooding Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sandbagging began Monday.
Evacuations will become manda-
tory if the river reaches 29 feet, said
Elwood Mayor Lawrence Mays. An
early prediction of a crest at 29.5
feet was scaled back because of
Mondays lack of rain.

GREENSBURG Amid the
downed utility poles, stripped trees
and rubble the massive tornado left
behind, the county courthouse and
the Southern Plains Co-ops grain
elevator, the tallest building here,
still stand.
With nine people dead and more
than 90 percent of this south-cen-
tral Kansas community destroyed,
residents picked through pile after
pile of debris Tuesday and talk-
ed about rebuilding. Although he
had to sleep in a friends pickup,
Mayor Lonnie McCollum was talk-
ing about heartily about the future,
envisioning a town that would look
more like a new suburb outside a
big city.
While outsiders wondered
whether too little remains intact
for that kind of comeback, they
also acknowledged Greensburgs
status as the Kiowa County seat and
a regional economic hub for area
farmers make its survival plausible.
I dont see this mess. I see what
its going to be, McCollum said, a
sea of severed trees, crumpled vehi-
cles and wrecked buildings behind
him. Who wouldnt want to live in
a brand new town? Who wouldnt
want to have a business in a whole
new town?
Still, McCollum couldnt pre-
dict when basic services such as
sewer, water or electricity would be
restored, and officials were trying
to find a place for mobile homes
sent by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency.
Danny McLarty, the location
manager for the Southern Plains
Co-op, and his employees were
working Tuesday to salvage what
they could, clean the mess and
count their losses. Although the
grain elevator was still standing, all
that was left of its business office
was about half of its outer shell, its
roof stripped off and a pile of wood
and stone where part of the build-
ing once stood.
Posted signs said, Construction
under progress, and McLarty said
he was keeping all 14 employees on
the payroll.
This is a farm community.
The elevator has to be here.
Farmers have to have a place to
buy their supplies, McLarty said.
We will be here for them that
is what a farming community is
all about.
Before the storm hit, Greensburg
had been facing the problem of
an aging and declining population,
mirroring Midwestern trends. The
2000 Census said more than a quar-
ter of its residents were 65 or older;
its population peaked at nearly
2,000 in 1960 and has declined to
about 1,400.
How much Greensburg recovers
depends on the energy its leaders
show and the networks church,
social and business residents have
formed, said Bruce Weber, director
of Oregon State Universitys rural

WICHITA The Humane
Society of the United States is ask-
ing that a sixth-grader who stabbed
three ducks to death be charged with
animal cruelty.
The Wilber Middle School stu-
dent allegedly used a pencil last
week to kill a mother duck and two
ducklings that had nested near the
school.
The Humane Society said it did
not want the 11-year-old to be jailed,
but it wants to be sure he receives
the intervention crucial to prevent-
ing future recurrences of violence,
said Mary Lou Randour, the groups
professional outreach coordinator
and a Maryland-based psychologist.
A conviction of animal cruelty
would not only convey to the stu-
dent the serious nature of his alleged
crime, Randour said, but would
also help ensure that he remains
under psychological counseling and
observation.
District Attorney Nola Foulston
said Monday that her office was
investigating the case.
It is incumbent upon us to dig
deeper, not only out of concern for
the welfare of animals but for the
welfare of our children, Foulston
said.
An animal cruelty charge, she
said, wasnt the only way to ensure
the boy gets counseling or treat-
ment.
The boy was suspended last
Wednesday, and school officials said
a hearing would determine whether
he would get to return to school. They
say he admitted to classmates that he
mutilated the ducks.
Foulston said the case could be filed
as a child in need of care case, but
that depended on what the investiga-
tion reveals about the students actions,
behavior and home life. Generally,
child in need cases involve children
abandoned, neglected or abused by a
parent. With these cases you need to
look not only at the alleged act itself but
at the underlying problems that may
have led to that act, Foulston said.

AGENCY, Mo. As residents in
central Missouri prepared for flood-
ing from rain-choked rivers, levees
along the Missouri River gave way,
flooding the tiny town of Big Lake
on Tuesday.
Mark Sitherwood, presiding com-
missioner of Holt County, said five
major levees along the Missouri River
south of Big Lake broke Monday. The
water from those breaks reached Big
Lake, a town of about 300 residents
in northwest Missouri, on Tuesday.
The town and lake are complete-
ly under water, Sitherwood said.
The town is a loss. At this time, we
dont know, but it looks like thats
whats going to happen.
No injuries were reported. Big
Lake, which is located about two
miles from the Missouri River, is
about 35 miles northwest of St.
Joseph.
Across northwest Missouri rivers
and streams overran their banks. On
Monday, Gov. Matt Blunt declared
a state of emergency and signed
an executive order authorizing the
mobilization of Missouri National
Guard troops. Voluntary evacuations
were under way in several western
Missouri counties.
Once weve dealt with the entire
flood across the state, well begin
to evaluate the damage and find
out what kind of assistance might
be available to compensate or help
people impacted by the damage,
Blunt said Tuesday at a news confer-
ence in St. Joseph.
Most Big Lake residents evacuated
Monday but a handful of residents
were rescued by boat from their
homes Tuesday, Sitherwood said.
The city of Craig was also being
threatened north of Big Lake because
of another levee break on the Big
Tarkio River, Sitherwood said. And
the rising water from the Big Lake
area was also threatening the town
of Fortescue.
Meanwhile, St. Joseph was spared
flooding when the Missouri River
crested about four feet lower than
had been predicted, said Matt Dux,
meteorologist for the National
Weather Service. More rain had
been predicted for this week but
when that didnt happen, water levels
crested lower than predicted in feed-
er streams and the Missouri River,
Dux said.
Were very, very blessed, said
Bill Brinton, emergency manage-
ment director for Buchanan County.
The river didnt crest as high as it
was supposed to, and all the levees
held. We did about 70,000 sandbags
that we didnt need.
But most residents evacuated
Agency, a town of about 100 east
of St. Joseph that is surrounded on
three sides by the Platte River and
was hit hard by the Flood of 1993,
one of the most costly and devastat-
ing floods in U.S. history.
By midday Tuesday, a few Agency
homes were partially submerged, as
were nearby roads and a cemetery.
It isnt as bad as 1993, said Pauline
Gibson, 71, who did not evacuate her
Agency trailer home but had every-
thing packed if she had to leave quick-
ly. But its working on it. We dont
want it like 93, but they say more rain
is coming and thats not good.
In Parkville, a town of about 4,000
along the Missouri River 10 miles
north of Kansas City, 18 businesses
were shuttered Tuesday after a man-
datory evacuation was ordered for
the section of town closest to the
river.
Tom Hutsler, Parkville resident
and business owner, had several
trucks on hand Tuesday to move
merchandise and belongings.
One thing we learned in the
flood of 93 is water is going to go
where it wants to go, and sandbag-
ging is fruitless, Hutsler said.
Farther east, the Boone County
Fire Protection District and the
Columbia/Boone County Office of
Emergency Management put out a
call for volunteers to begin sandbag-
ging Tuesday along the Missouri
River, beginning in Rocheport and
moving south toward Huntsdale,
McBaine and Hartsburg.
And in Jefferson City, officials
began evacuating the municipal air-
port Tuesday as the capital began
preparing for flooding expected to
hit Wednesday or Thursday.
After floods in 1993 and 1995,
Jefferson City raised the elevation of
its riverside sewage treatment plant,
and the federal government bought
out scores of homes on the north
shore of the river. But proposals for
a super levee never materialized,
leaving the airport and remaining
businesses vulnerable any time the
river stage exceeds 30 feet.
Attorney Tom Rost was tending
his vegetables Tuesday but feared
they would be lost along with the
sprouting crops of nearby farms.
I think its going to be serious, Rost
said, offering free lettuce to passersby.
The National Weather Service
predicted that the river would crest
at 34 feet in Boonville by Friday
evening, or about 13 feet above flood
stage.

HERODIUM, West Bank
Under a baking sun, pieces of
limestone carved with borders of
rosettes and geometrical designs lay
in three excavated pits Tuesday a
desert site Israeli archaeologists say
is the tomb of King Herod, who
ruled the Holy Land when Christ
was born.
The find, which could provide
insights into one of the Bibles
most reviled yet influential figures,
includes hundreds of pieces of an
ornate sarcophagus, but no bones
and no inscription that would seal
the identification.
Although the tomb was shattered
and empty, leaders of the Israeli
team that unearthed it said Tuesday
they will dig on in the hope of find-
ing jewelry, other artifacts or even
the biblical monarchs remains.
Hebrew University archaeologist
Ehud Netzer said he has been lead-
ing the search for Herods tomb
at the kings winter palace in the
Judean desert, in an Israeli-con-
trolled part of the West Bank south
of Jerusalem, for 35 years.
Last month, his team started
unearthing limestone fragments,
from which emerged the picture
of an ornately carved sarcophagus
with decorative urns of a type never
before found in the Holy Land.
Its a sarcophagus we dont just
see anywhere, Netzer told report-
ers at the university. It is some-
thing very special.
The complete sarcophagus would
have been about nine feet long, the
university said.
Herod was the Jewish proxy
ruler of the Holy Land under impe-
rial Roman occupation from 37
B.C. His most famous construction
project was expanding the Jewish
Second Temple in Jerusalem.
Remnants of his extensive build-
ing work in Jerusalem are still vis-
ible in Jerusalems Old City, and
he undertook major construction
projects in Caesaria, Jericho, the
hilltop fortress of Masada and else-
where.
At the excavation site, on the
steep, rocky slopes of a cone-shaped
hill 2,230 feet high, Netzers assis-
tant, Yaakov Kalmar, said that an
account of Herods funeral by the
first-century historian Josephus
Flavius left little doubt that it took
place at Herodium. The newly dis-
covered tomb was regal in its opu-
lence.

CAIRO, Egypt Al-Jazeera
broadcast what it said was an al-
Qaida video Tuesday purportedly
showing one of the three suicide
attacks in Algeria last month that
killed 33 people.
The brief video carried images of
equipment and wires being assem-
bled, followed by a large explosion.
The pan-Arab television network
said the footage was from al-Qaidas
branch for North Africa and that a
longer segment would be aired later.
The network provided no details
on how or when it had obtained
the footage and it wasnt imme-

authenticity. The video concluded
with a bearded man said to be Abu
Musab Abdulwadood the leader
of Algerias main Islamic insurgen-

BAGHDAD A suicide car
bomber sent a fireball through a
crowded market Tuesday in the
Shiite holy city of Kufa, killing at
least 16 people and threatening to
further stoke sectarian tensions in
relatively peaceful areas south of
Baghdad.
Kufa, 100 miles south of Baghdad,
is a stronghold of the Mahdi Army
militia, which is loyal to radical
Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. U.S.
officials have expressed fears that
Sunni insurgents led by al-Qaida
are carefully picking their targets
to provoke retaliatory violence to
derail efforts to stabilize the coun-
try.
The blast sent flames through a
nearby two-story kebab restaurant,
charring the interior. Angry resi-
dents demanded better protection
and accused authorities of fortify-
ing their own homes and offices at
the expense of the public.
They do not care about the fate
of the poor. We demand real, effec-
tive security measures to protect
us, said 29-year-old Laith Hussein,
who helped carrying some of the
wounded to the hospital.
The predominantly Shiite south-
ern areas have seen a spike in vio-
lence and unrest, blamed in part on
militants who have fled a security
crackdown in Baghdad. The U.S.-
led offensive is intended to curb
violence and allow the Shiite-led
government some breathing room
to implement reforms, including
proposals to empower minor-
ity Sunnis Arabs and help end the
insurgency. There has been little
evidence, though, of any movement
toward those reforms.
Still, Sunni Vice President Tariq
al-Hashemi appeared to back away
from a threat to lead a walkout from
the government.
I can say that we can, God
willing, build an ambitious future
based on a real partnership and
joint understanding. And I think it
is very important to go ahead with
the political project, al-Hashemi
told reporters Monday after a late-
night meeting with Prime Minister
Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite.
Al-Hashemi said the meeting
was an effort to melt the ice.
Ali Baban, the Sunni planning
minister, reaffirmed Tuesday that
the Sunni bloc had no plans to quit
the government.
Neither politician offered details
about their meeting, but govern-
ment spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh
announced that a parliamentary
committee on amending the consti-
tution was scheduled to present its
recommendations on May 15 and
should be given a chance to work.
There should be a dialogue, not
threats. No political endeavor can
succeed with threats, al-Dabbagh
said.
Late Tuesday, al-Hashemis office
also issued a statement that he,
Kurdish President Jalal Talabani
and Iraqs Shiite vice president
Adel Abdul-Mahdi held talks. The
agenda appeared to focus on al-
Malikis past pledges including
addressing Sunni Arab objections
to parts of a constitution adopted in
October 2005, disbanding militias
and actively seeking national rec-
onciliation.
At least 68 people were killed
or found dead nationwide Tuesday,
more than half of them apparent
victims of so-called sectarian death
squads usually run by the Shiite
militias. Twenty-five of the bul-
let-riddled bodies were found in
Baghdad, all but five on the pre-
dominantly Sunni western side of
the Tigris River where sectarian
violence appears to be on the rise.
A roadside bomb also killed two
U.S. soldiers and wounded another
southeast of Baghdad, the military
said.
Residents in Baqouba, a volatile
city northeast of Baghdad, claimed
that a U.S. helicopter opened fire on
an elementary school, killing seven
students and wounding three. U.S.
spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher
Garver said the military was inves-
tigating the reports.
We do all we can to avoid civil-
ian casualties. Thats why were
going to look into this to see what
happened, Garver said.
The attack in Kufa took place
about 10 a.m. The car was packed
with some 550 pounds of explosives
when it blew up in a busy market
area that also included a school and
the mayors office, police said.

PARIS Nicolas Sarkozy won the
womens vote and fared well among
blue-collar workers, even though his
rival for the French presidency was a
woman and a Socialist.
It was one of the surprising sub-
plots in Sarkozys resounding elec-
tion victory against Segolene Royal
and shows his vision of pro-mar-
ket reforms and scaling back immi-
gration appeals to a wide audience.
Sarkozys ability to attract votes
from a broad spectrum of the public
is an early indication he may be able
to overcome his image as a polariz-
ing force and achieve crucial popu-
lar support for pushing through his
ambitious program of overhauling
Frances welfare system.
Official figures showed Sarkozy
won Frances one-time industri-
al heartland in the north, which
French media said had not voted
for a rightist presidential candidate
since Charles de Gaulle in 1965.
Sarkozy even tallied nearly 44
percent of the vote in the Seine-
Saint-Denis region north of Paris,
where a wave of rioting erupted in
late 2005 while he was interior min-
ister and infuriated many there by
calling troublemakers scum.
Right after his victory, angry
youths burned cars and clashed with
police in several cities. Police report-
ed Monday that 730 cars were burned
and at least 592 people detained
overnight across the country, while
some 78 officers were injured.
On Monday night, several hun-
dred people massed for a second
night at the Place de la Bastille in
Paris, breaking windows in shops
and starting street fires. Riot police
dispersed them.
Experts said Sarkozy was able to
steal working-class votes from the
left by playing up his tough cop
image and by pounding away at the
theme that he believes in rewarding
hard work.
The main attraction among
workers were the security-immi-
gration duo, which works, and the
values of hard work: He put the
emphasis on increasing purchasing
power, said Frederic Dabi, a pollster
with Ifop.
Perhaps most striking was the
52 percent of the womens vote he
captured against 48 percent for
Royal, which indicated the cam-
paign transcended gender issues
and became truly a choice between
ideas the tough-love message of
Sarkozy against Royals more nurtur-
ing vision.
Royal didnt gain any advantage
with her argument that she was a
mother of four. It had no effect, said
Pierre Giacometti, director of the
Ipsos agency. Neither feminism nor
machismo had its place.
In the campaign, Sarkozy dared to
attack the status quo with calls to do
away with inheritance tax on small
and medium estates and cut the
number of public sector workers. He
also evoked issues of national iden-
tity and immigration that were once
the stomping ground of extreme-
right nationalist Jean-Marie Le Pen.
While Sarkozy found a formula
to win an election, he faces a much
steeper challenge implementing his
vision of tax cuts and freer markets
that promise to cut into the social
protections many French hold so
dear.
He is certain to face resistance
from unions to his plans to make the
French work more and make it easier
for companies to hire and fire.
The election left little time for
celebrating: Legislative elections
are slated for June 10 and 17, and
Sarkozys conservative UMP party
needs a majority to keep his mandate
for reforms. A win by the left would
bring cohabitation an awkward
power-sharing with a leftist prime
minister which would put a stop
to his plans.

LOS ANGELES HBO chief
executive Chris Albrecht said he
was taking a leave of absence to
regain control of his alcoholism
following a weekend assault arrest
in Las Vegas.
Bill Nelson, HBO chief operat-
ing officer, will take over
Albrechts duties pending
resolution of the police
incident, the company
said.
We take these mat-
ters very seriously and
will monitor this situa-
tion closely, Time Warner
chairman and chief execu-
tive officer Richard D. Parsons said
in a statement. HBO Inc. is a divi-
sion of Time Warner.
In a statement sent to HBO staff
members and released publicly
Tuesday, Albrecht said he had been
a sober member of Alcoholics
Anonymous for 13 years.
Two years ago, I decided that
I could handle drinking again.
Clearly, I was wrong. Given that
truth, I have committed myself to
sobriety. I intend to take a tempo-
rary leave of absence from HBO
effective today, in order to go back
to working with AA.
Albrecht said he was deeply
sorry for what occurred in Las
Vegas this weekend and for any
embarrassment it caused my family,
the company I love, and myself.
He called the weekend a wake-
up call to me of a weakness I thought
I had overcome long ago.
While he wasnt free to discuss
the incident while authorities and
his attorneys are still determining
the facts, it is my hope to do so in
the near future, Albrecht
said in his statement.
A call to the Clark
County, Nev., district
attorneys office regarding
the arrest was not imme-
diately returned Tuesday.
On Sunday in Las
Vegas, the HBO chairman
and chief executive was
arrested for investigation of assault-
ing his girlfriend outside the MGM
Grand casino. The arrest came just
hours after Saturdays Oscar De La
Hoya-Floyd Mayweather Jr. boxing
match aired on pay-per-view by
HBO.
Officers assigned to the match
reported seeing Albrecht fighting
with a woman identified only as his
girlfriend in the MGM Grands valet
parking lot shortly after 3 a.m., a
Las Vegas police spokesman said.
Albrecht was booked into the
Clark County Detention Center and
held for investigation of a misde-
meanor battery-domestic assault.
He was later released.
Albrecht joined HBO in 1985.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. A
manicurist who claims she was
attacked by country singer Tanya
Tuckers dog is suing the singer for
$300,000.
Danielle D. Hobbs alleges in a
lawsuit filed last week that the dog
ran from a bedroom at Tuckers
home and began biting her without
any warning.
She said she suffered painful
and disfiguring scars on her leg.
Hobbs said she was attacked
May 2, 2006, by a dog named Bella
while she was at Tuckers home
near Nashville to give her a mani-
cure.
She said Tucker has at least eight
dogs, and several of them growled
and barked at her during two pre-
vious visits to the home.
Hobbs said she told the singers
assistant that she was afraid of
the dogs and asked that they be
restrained, but she claims the assis-
tant told her the dogs were just
babies and that they will not
hurt you.
This lawsuit comes as a total
surprise and has been filed with-
out merit, Tuckers publicist, Kirt
Webster, said Tuesday.
Tuckers hits include Delta
Dawn and San Antonio Stroll.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. Tom
Sizemore, on probation for a drug
rap, was arrested Tuesday for inves-
tigation of possessing methamphet-
amine as he sat in a car outside a
Bakersfield hotel.
The 45-year-old actor, of
Calabasas, was arrested after drugs
were found in his car outside the
Four Points Sheraton hotel, said
police Detective Greg Terry.
Officers were called to the hotel
at about 7:30 a.m. by a report that
a man had challenged an employee
to fight while trying to check in,
Terry said.
The man, believed to be an asso-
ciate of Sizemores, had gotten into
a dispute over whether he had a
reservation, the detective said.
Jason Salcido, 33, of Whittier,
was found to be on parole, and offi-
cers found he was carrying a nar-
cotic smoking pipe, Terry said.
Officers learned that he and
Sizemore were together and saw
Sizemore sitting in a 2004 Ford
Mustang in the hotel parking lot.
He displayed symptoms of being
under the influence, Terry said.
A search of the car turned up
two bags of suspected metham-
phetamine and some additional
narcotics smoking pipes, Terry
said.
Sizemore was arrested and
booked at the Kern County Jail
for investigation of possession of
methamphetamine, being under
the influence of a controlled sub-
stance and possession of narcotic
paraphernalia, the detective said.
Calls to representatives of
Sizemore, who appeared in the
movies Saving Private Ryan and
Black Hawk Down, werent imme-
diately returned.
The actor was convicted of
methamphetamine possession in
October 2004. His probation was
revoked the next year after he
acknowledged using a prosthetic
device to fake a drug test and fail-
ing to be checked for drugs every
three days.
Probation was later reinstated
but Sizemore faced another parole
revocation and prison time after
testing positive for drug use in
January 2006.
After tearfully acknowledging
he used drugs, he was given three
years probation and ordered to
submit to weekly drug tests.
The actor also was convicted in
2003 of domestic violence involving
former Hollywood madam Heidi
Fleiss, an ex-girlfriend. He had been
free on bail pending an appeal.

Hilton re-hires publicist
who OKd her to drive
AssociAted Press
LOS ANGELES The many
moods of Paris Hilton shifted
again when the jail-bound socialite
rehired the publicist she blamed
for her 45-day sentence.
Elliot Mintz confirmed to The
Associated Press on Tuesday that
he is again representing the 26-
year-old socialite, who was ordered
to report to county jail by June 5
for violating the terms of her pro-
bation in an alcohol-related reck-
less driving case.
Mintz, 62, wouldnt elaborate
on why he reunited with Hilton.
The publicist, whose clients have
included John Lennon and Bob
Dylan, issued a statement Sunday
night that he and Hilton had part-
ed ways over an apparent misun-
derstanding she received from me
regarding the terms of her proba-
tion.
In a court appearance Friday,
Hilton told the judge Mintz
informed her it was all right
to drive on a suspended license
for work obligations. Mintz
also testified Hilton believed
she was allowed to drive. The
judge called Mintzs testimony
worthless.
Hilton star of E! networks
reality show The Simple Life
has called the sentence unfair,
and her fans have posted a petition
on the Internet urging Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger to pardon her.
I feel that I was treated unfair-
ly and that the sentence is both
cruel and unwarranted and I dont
deserve this, Hilton told photogra-
phers assembled outside her home
Saturday.
In an interview for the June
issue of Harpers Bazaar, Hilton
says: I get in more trouble just
because of who I am. The cops do
it all the time. Theyll just pull me
over to hit on me.
Its really annoying. Theyre
like, `Whats your phone number?
Want to go to dinner? They wont
even give me a ticket. They just
pull me over, and the paparazzi,
of course, take a picture. All the
time. I have so many cops busi-
ness cards.
The governors office hasnt
reviewed the petition but has
received individual e-mails
from constituents both for and
against a gubernatorial pardon,
Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron
McLear said Tuesday.
Well treat this as we would
any other case of this nature, but
it would be premature for the
governor to get involved until
the individual has exhausted his
or her judicial remedies, McLear
said.

our view
Use year to study
new candidates
In theory, the recent
Presidential debates of each
party were supposed to reveal
the frontrunners and agendas of
the leading candidates. In prac-
tice, the debates revealed little
more than a dearth of front-
runners, a stale repackaging of
tired ideas and a general media
lamentation about the perceived
lack of choice candidates.
The problems of the
Democrats are comparatively
minor; any of the three poll-lead-
ing candidates would probably
represent the party well or at
least adequately
in the general
election. The
unifying theme
of the moment
is frustrated vit-
riol directed at
President Bush,
which tempo-
rarily saves the
candidates from
tearing one
another down.
T h e
Re p u b l i c a ns ,
however, have
a whole host of
problems. Mitt
Romney per-
plexingly raises millions while
failing to make an impact in
polls. John McCain, in an appar-
ently desperate effort to recap-
ture his straight talk magic of
2000, sounds and looks increas-
ingly unhinged. Rudy Giuliani,
eager to overcome his Northeast
stigma, seems anxious to attack
any threat, tangible or perceived.
Add a supporting cast from
the lunatic fringes of the party
and it is no wonder that many
Republican voters are sweating
a bit.
Mass media outlets, who
already seem bored with the
present candidates or at least
their perpetual coverage of such
have taken to endlessly spec-
ulating on the potential of unde-
clared candidates. Chief among
them are the avuncular Fred
Thompson, who speaks of the
presidency with a sort of cava-
lier nonchalance, as if the office
is merely a tempting promo-
tion from NBC. Cerebral envi-
rocrusader Al Gore continues
to attract attention, as does New
York Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
who rules his fiefdom with radi-
cal efficiency.
George Santayana once
famously observed that
Americans dont solve problems,
they leave them behind. And
while we have always been a
grass-is-always-
greener popu-
lace, who would
have thought
that would
extend into pri-
mary season?
The goal of the
primaries is not
to select from
among ten excel-
lent, prepared
candidates who
could step into
the office today.
Rather, the pri-
maries should
be a time of can-
didate develop-
ment, when public servants with
unrefined views sharpen their
collective focus and are imbued
with the wishes of the people.
In an age of media packaging,
we seem to want nothing less
than a fully functional president
two years before the election.
This is not only unlikely, but it is
in contrast to the developmental
framework of the primary sys-
tem. We would be wise to spend
the next 12 months investigat-
ing candidates for ourselves,
then forming conclusions based
on what we want from a presi-
dent, not what the nearest or
most recently surging candidate
is offering us.

commentary
Sensitive aiDS policy needed
Last Friday, Brazilian President
Luiz Incio Lula da Silva broke the
patent of the anti-AIDS drug efavi-
renz. Although there are many things
in the scandal-plagued Lula admin-
istration that deserve criticism, this
action should be commended as a
noble and brave measure that is part
of a necessary endeavor: to have a
humane AIDS policy.
Lula issued a compulsory license
for efavirenz, which means that
Brazil can now manufacture or buy
generic versions of the drug while
paying a small royalty to Merck, the
drugs manufacturer. The measure,
although controversial, is allowed by
the World Trade Organization in cer-
tain cases.
The Brazilian government decided
to break the patent after negotiations
with Merck failed to reduce the price
of the drug to a satisfactory amount.
Brazil is an excellent example of
how government intervention can
greatly benefit the construction of
better health policies. The Brazilian
AIDS policy is successful and used as a
model for several countries across the
world. By threatening to break their
patents, the Brazilian government
was able to significantly decrease the
prices of several AIDS drugs.
By aggressively pursuing these
price reductions, the Brazilian gov-
ernment is able to provide free and
universal access to antiretroviral
drugs. Drug cocktails are very expen-
sive, and there is no way that the
poorer sections of society could have
access to them without government
help.
Intellectual rights activists may
criticize this measure; however, there
is a big difference between intel-
lectual rights and a monopoly of
knowledge. Knowledge is only useful
when it is constructive for society.
A monopoly of knowledge deprives
people of the benefits of intellectual
achievements.
The pharmaceutical industrys
search for even higher profits cannot
interfere with a persons, a peoples
or a nations health. At what point
is it wrong to gain ridiculous profits
from other peoples suffering? When
is it ever right to sentence a per-
son to death because of intellectual
rights?
Some may argue that the break
of patents will cause a decrease of
investment in drug research. If that is
so, then there is something extremely
wrong with the current pharmaceuti-
cal system. Perhaps private invest-
ments fueled by selfish impulses are
not the best way to go about things.
There are other measures, howev-
er, that make Brazils AIDS policy one
of the best in the world. The govern-
ment has adopted a realist approach,
recognizing that there is no way to
prevent people from having sex.
There have been significant invest-
ments on the promotion of condom
use, and sexual education in schools
is comprehensive. Throughout the
year, and especially during Carnaval,
it is common to see billboards featur-
ing government sponsored condom
advertisements and government
officials and NGOs freely distribute
prophylactics.
In addition, the Brazilian govern-
ment refused to stigmatize prostitu-
tion, thus renouncing a $48 million
grant from the U.S., and decided
instead to work with prostitutes to
help prevent the spread of AIDS.
This cooperation with prostitutes
is indispensable because they are a
high-risk group.
An AIDS policy needs to be sen-
sitive and adaptable to cultural dif-
ferences; there is no one-size-fits-all
model; however, there is lot to be
learned from the Brazilian model.
The prioritizations of health before
profits and of realism before attempts
to impose moral values are essential
to combat this epidemic. Brazil and
the U.S. have many similarities. Sex
is predominant in both countries
cultures, and even though a cultural
revolution is possible, by the time it
is finished AIDS will have caused too
much damage. Meanwhile, the best
way to deal with the epidemic is to
accept and deal with the realities of
our culture, and making healthcare
a priority.

guest commentary
As both a college student and
somebody who has worked in the
restaurant business for a number
of years I have noticed that a vast
majority of college students and the
public at large lack the wherewithal
and manners required to get the
most from a night on the town.
Most of the offenses I observe are
things that our mothers probably
taught us not to do, but when living
in a city where the main demo-
graphic is a young crowd the basics
of etiquette seem to be lost. Ive
come up with a basic guide on how
to conduct oneself when interact-
ing with service staff at bars and
restaurants.
At the host desk: When you
walk into a restaurant and are con-
fronted with a friendly hello from
the host or hostess its completely
unacceptable to just grunt and utter
something to the effect of table for
four or even worse, say nothing at
all. Exchanging brief and friendly
banter with the host staff never hurt
anyone. While the host is getting
information about your party its
not necessary to lean over the desk.
When I host, I am mortified by how
often Im literally being crushed
against my desk. Standing on a
hosts toes does not get you a table
any more quickly.
If there is a wait for a table, be
prepared to wait and accept the
harsh reality that the host is giving
you an educated guess about when
you will be sat. Dont scoff at or
castigate the host because the wait
has exceeded the estimate. If your
wait has gone beyond a reason-
able length of time its acceptable
to politely speak with the manager
or host and try to resolve the situ-
ation. If you are in a hurry or have
a tight schedule you ought to go to
an establishment that takes reserva-
tions or offers call-ahead seating.
At the bar or table: When you
walk up to the bar to order a drink
make sure that your money is out,
that you have a smile or at least
a pleasant look on your face and
that you know what you want. Few
things are more irritating to a busy
bartender than a patron flailing
their arms about from across the
bar or restaurant like their ass is
on fire then only for the patron
to have no idea what they want
when the bartender arrives to assist
them. Know how to pronounce
what you are ordering. It is not
Harps or Millers Lite. I dont even
want to get started on the can
of worms that is Bacardi Limon,
but to clear up any confusion it is
pronounced L-MOAN and not
Lymon. Lymon is the name of
somebodys hillbilly cousin from
Alabama and not a premium fla-
vored rum.
Tipping: Having a mastery of the
art of tipping is absolutely essential.
The average hourly pay of a server
is about $2.15 an hour and is almost
entirely supplemented by tips. These
days 15 percent is kind of like the
new 12 percent. Eighteen to 20 per-
cent is acceptable and will ensure
that you will receive prompt, polite
service. Servers and bartenders
remember both good and bad tip-
pers. Your service will be better and
faster not only because you arent
a tight wad, but also because you
are easygoing and fun to wait on.
Keep in mind too that a restaurant
staff will snicker and berate you in
the kitchen for being a lousy tipper.
Dont be that person.
Dont tip any less for things
that happened that were out of the
servers hands. For instance, your
server has no control over whether
the cook prepared your steak well
done or medium well. If there is
something that your server is doing
that truly is wrong or in bad taste
then you should let them or their
manager know about it. If you cant
afford to leave a decent gratuity for
your server then you ought not be
dining out and instead be eating
Top Ramen or something at home.
Tipping should be in the budget if
youre going out.
By using common sense and
good manners you will have more
fun and get better service when
youre out. Bars and restaurants are
like theater in that the show must
go on and friendly customers can
almost always ensure a great perfor-
mance.

Commemoration
By Tyler harBerT
Professor Liviu Librescu, a
Holocaust survivor who tried to bar-
ricade the door to his classroom
to save student lives during the
Virginia Tech massacre, was killed
on the day after national Holocaust
Remembrance day.
To honor the professors life and
commemorate his heroic deed, stu-
dents in Chabad and KU Hillel held
a discussion Tuesday night in the
Kansas Union featuring a PowerPoint
presentation about Librescu.
Marni Green, Buffalo Grove,
Ill., sophomore and Chabad mem-
ber, created the PowerPoint tribute
because she wanted to remember the
Virginia Tech victims and especially
honor Librescu.
I wish I would have met him in
person, Green said. He seemed like
such a wonderful man.
Lou Frydman, associate professor
emeritus of social welfare, took part
in the tribute by speaking about his
experiences as a Holocaust survivor.
Frydman, who was 12 years old
when he was taken to the first of
three different concentration camps
during the Holocaust, said he came
from an extended family of more
than 40 members. But on the first
day of his capture, that number
dropped to only two: just him and
his brother.
Although he laughed and joked
throughout his questions and
answers Tuesday night, Frydman
said that wasnt the case during his
two-year time in the camps.
There was no humor in those
camps at any level, he said.
He had been liberated from the
Dachau concentration camp at the
end of the European fight during
World War II and said he was for-
tunate his struggle didnt leave him
with nightmares or other disorders
after the war.
He said surviving the Holocaust
set him up for a life full of possi-
bilities and without barriers. He said
the concentration camps also made
him able to size up situations almost
immediately, and he also picked up
the Yiddish language quickly.
It was a matter of survival,
Frydman said.
Green and Caitlin Tew, Allen,
Texas, sophomore and Chabad mem-
ber, also helped organize a Good
Deed Dedication in memory of the
Virginia Tech victims. Tew said any
student on campus could promise
to do a Mitzvah, which is a good
deed in Hebrew, write the deed on a
postcard and attach it to a large poster
board in memory of the victims.
Green said the poster board would
be kept on a wall in the Chabad
House, 1201 W. 19th St., as a perma-
nent memorial.
She said she hadnt committed to a
deed yet, but was considering either
saying hello to a random stranger or
reaching out to somebody who was
lonely. Students can get involved in
the project by going to www.jewishku.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. A wal-
laby is settling into a new home in
the Black Hills after getting out of
its kennel during a flight change in
Salt Lake City.
The 5-pound, 7-month-old
male Australian marsupial escaped
Thursday but had only a few min-
utes of freedom.
Roxy Bell, whose family owns
The Roo Ranch near Deadwood,
said vibration during the flight
likely loosened buckles on the side
of the kennel.
The wallaby a smaller, stock-
ier version of a kangaroo did
not kick its way out of the kennel,
she said.
I just dont want them to get a
bad reputation. You know, Mean
kangaroo gets out, Bell said.
Theyre not mean. Theyre very
tame.
In fact, a young female wallaby
in the same cage stayed put.
The pair arrived in Rapid City
late Thursday, Bell said.
Airport workers caught the
young wallaby within five minutes
after it hopped across the tarmac,
said Marissa Snow, a spokeswoman
for SkyWest Airlines, based in St.
George, Utah.
It is a good reminder for people
who are transporting live cargo
to check their kennels and make
sure theyre in operating order,
she said.
Bell said it was the first escape for
any of the animals being shipped to
the Roo Ranch.
It helped Bell find a name for the
fugitive wallaby: Tarmac.
The Bell family plans to open
the Roo Ranch, which has about
50 kangaroos and wallabies, on
Memorial Day weekend. It would
join other animal-oriented attrac-
tions in the Black Hills such as Bear
Country USA, Reptile Gardens and
Trout Haven.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
Haitian migrants claim a Turks and
Caicos naval vessel rammed their
crowded sailboat twice before it cap-
sized last week, killing more than 60
people, a senior Haitian official said
Tuesday.
Jeanne Bernard Pierre, the direc-
tor-general of Haitis National
Migration Office, said the migrants
account has not been confirmed but
Haiti would consider it criminal if
found true.
The survivors say the accident
wasnt an accident, it was provoked.
They say they were hit twice by a
coast guard boat from the Turks and
Caicos, Pierre told The Associated
Press by telephone from the Turks
and Caicos Islands, where she was
meeting with survivors at a deten-
tion center.
Turks and Caicos Police Inspector
Hilton Duncan declined to com-
ment on claims the migrants boat
was rammed, saying the sinking is
under investigation.
Earlier Tuesday, the governor the
British Caribbean territory, Richard
Tauwhare, told reporters the vessel
capsized while it was being towed by
a police boat in rough seas, contra-
dicting earlier claims by local offi-
cials that police arrived only after the
boat capsized.
Meanwhile, the death toll rose to
61 from Fridays pre-dawn capsizing
of the migrant-laden sailboat off the
Turks and Caicos, after more bodies
were found drifting in the Atlantic
Ocean, the government of the British
Caribbean territory said.
Some of those who died were
mutilated by sharks. More than a
dozen migrants were still missing
and presumed dead.
The 78 survivors from the esti-
mated 160 migrants aboard the boat
were being held in the Turks and
Caicos, about 125 miles north of
Haiti, until authorities could repatri-
ate them.
Pierre said the survivors told her
they received no warning before
being hit, and that the Turks and
Caicos vessel threw them a line and
tried towing them in before the boat
capsized.
We would think that would
be criminal if it really happened
that way. We have to wait for the
results of the investigation, before
pronouncing (judgment) ourselves,
she said.
The U.S. Coast Guard said in a
press statement Friday its officials
were notified by Turks and Caicos
police at 5 a.m. that the migrant
boat capsized while being towed by
a police vessel at 4:20 a.m. But Turks
and Caicos officials later denied the
report.
Pierre said she met with Tauwhare
on Tuesday and was told that an
investigation would take three
weeks.
Asked to provide one of the
migrants for an interview, Pierre
gave the phone to a man who identi-
fied himself as Jean-Vanel Moncent,
21. Moncent began describing the
ordeal when the call was cut off.
Reached on the phone again, Pierre
said she had been informed that
migrants were not allowed to speak
to the media.

A Turks and caicos police tugboat pulls a capsized migrants boat during rescue operations of the
coast of this Caribbean island last Friday. The sailing vessel crowded with Haitian migrants overturned
in moonlit waters a half-mile from shore in shark-infested waters. Haitian migrants claim a Turks and
Caicos naval vessel rammed their crowded sailboat twice before it capsized last week, killing dozens
of people, a senior Haitian ofcial said on Tuesday.

TOPEKA The Kansas Board
of Education on Tuesday repealed
sex education policies enacted last
year, the latest move by the mod-
erate majority to undo efforts by
conservatives when they domi-
nated the board.
One rescinded policy recom-
mended that schools stress absti-
nence until marriage, while the
other urged school districts to get
parental permission before stu-
dents could attend human sexual-
ity classes.
On a 6-3 vote, the board
replaced the policies with one
that recommends abstinence
plus sex education programs and
leaves it up to the 296 school
districts to decide whether to get
parental permission.
Its a matter of emphasis,
said chairman Bill Wagnon, of
Topeka.
Wagnon said the goal was to
describe the curriculum stan-
dards in terms of its more than
just simply an encouragement of
abstinence, but we want a balance
and comprehensive educational
program about sex.
But conservative member
Kathy Martin, of Clay Center,
said most parents want the stan-
dards enacted last year. Wagnon
said the new standards take effect
immediately.
Abstinence until marriage is
the best message we can give our
children, Martin said.
She said the old standards
emphasized self-control over
birth control, and the new stan-
dards fail to give a true picture.
It was the second major change
for the 6-4 moderate bloc since
taking control in January. Wagnon
said the final major change could
come Wednesday if the board
hires a new education commis-
sioner to replace Bob Corkins,
hired by conservatives in 2005.
His hiring touched off criticism
because he had no experience as
a school administrator, and he
resigned in November after the
new board was elected.
Wagnon said he didnt view the
changes as a repudiation of what
the conservative majority did.
Its a matter of reflecting the
current board view on how these
things should be done, he said.

place, Catloth said.
The move was an inconvenience,
he said, but not unlike moving from

Dancing with the Stars
edition.
Ive found that Dancing with the
Stars is my one guilty pleasure. I
remember making fun of the show
when it first aired, but then my
pride for some of the shows sports
figures kicked it. I got hooked.
I really got into the show last
season when ex-Cowboys running
back Emmitt Smith defeated Mario
Lopez from Saved by the Bell,
reigniting my fiery hatred of the
Dallas Cowboys.
The sports figures on this show
are what make it successful. Its also
what gave me the idea for Dancing
with the Stars of Kansas Athletics.
Can you imagine a show where
the famous figures in Kansas athlet-
ics dress in their finest and flashiest
rhinestones and leather and dance
competitively? Who would win this
competition? Ive thought about it
and I know exactly how it would
play out
Eliminated in fourth place was
football coach Mark Mangino. Judge
Bruno Tonioli called Manginos fox
trot a travesty, and said his partner
Kym Johnson looked like she was
herding sheep instead of dancing as
she followed him across the floor.
Judge Len Goodman said that
Mangino used too much razzle-
dazzle when doing his leg kicks and
that he should have stuck to the
basics. Ultimately, fans did not like
Manginos diamond encrusted cane
and top hat so he was sent packing.
Basketball player Sherron Collins
got the boot after his sketchy
back-to-back tango and waltz with
his flashy partner, Cheryl Burke.
Collins demise came when he did
an illegal lift and accidentally kicked
Burke into the live band. This mis-
hap put Collins and Burke in third
place.
Collins regained his composure
during the waltz and won over
judge Carrie Ann Inaba with his
fancy footwork and cunning looks
into the camera. However, the sight
of Burke flying head-over-feet into
the drum set was too much for
viewers as Collins was voted off
with the lowest rating in show his-
tory.
It came down to the final two.
Grabbing second place was the duo
of mens basketball coach Bill Self
and Karina Smirnoff. Self used his
charm and footwork to win over
America.
Bruno said Self and Smirnoff s
samba was spicy and passionate;
however he ripped the groups
Ramba.
No one should ever be kicked
in the face when doing a high-step,
Bruno yelled at Smirnoff, who
caught Self in the chin with her
stiletto.
With a landslide first-place vic-
tory was the team of womens bas-
ketball coach Bonnie Henrickson
and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. All the
judges praised Henricksons tight
movement and elegant dips.

On the surface, the numbers do
not match up. Three seasons, only 14
conference victories, one postseason
appearance and one lucrative con-
tract extension.
After three losing campaigns,
the Kansas Athletics Department
reportedly agreed last month to
extend the contract of womens bas-
ketball coach Bonnie Henrickson.
She was already one of the highest-
paid womens coaches in the Big
12 Conference, but Henricksons
new deal is rumored to include a
pay raise.
The casual onlooker might
see failure in an overall record
of 40 victories and 49 losses dur-
ing the coachs tenure at Kansas,
but a glance at the record books
reveals Henricksons only postsea-
son appearance resulted in a quick
second-round exit from the 2006
WNIT.
But listening to the post-game
comments of the Jayhawks oppo-
nents this season screams of the
progress Kansas has made under
the coach.
Kansas has a good young group,
Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said after
escaping Allen Fieldhouse with a
narrow seven-point victory. They
play very hard.
They are so aggressive on
defense, Nebraska guard Kiera
Hardy said one week later. We had
to earn every bucket.
They were gutsy, Kansas State
coach Deb Patterson said after being
upset by Kansas. The difference was
the young freshmen.
Kansas womens basketball is on
the right track and its opponents can
attest to that.

Designated hitter Casey Larson and the Jayhawks take on the Missouri State Bears at 6 tonight at Hoglund Ballpark. Kansas lost to Missouri State
earlier this season 7-2. Todays game is the frst of eight straight home games for the Jayhawks.

By ALISSA BAUER
The Jayhawks were penciled in
for six games in six days before
Rockhurst canceled Tuesdays
game.
But five
games in four
days is no cake
walk, either.
That stretch
starts tonight
at 6 against
Missouri State
(20-26, 5-13
Missouri Valley
Conference).
Running out
of options and time, coach Ritch
Price wanted to try jump-start-
ing his teams offense by putting
together a schedule like Major
League teams use. Kansas added
Tuesdays game last week to make
up for cancelled contests against
Bethany and St. Mary.
Now unable to makeup the
makeup game, Price may not be
as able to work with the younger
lineup tonight that he planned on
using against Rockhurst. He said
he hasnt been able to get those
younger players in the lineup much
since conference play started.
Thats the
reality is that
your backup
guys dont
get to play
once you get
in this great
league, Price
said.
Although
the Bears
defeated the
Jayhawks, 7-2, in Springfield, Mo.,
this March, they have also stumbled
in the latter half of the season.
Missouri States 13-2 victory at
Evansville on Sunday snapped a
13-game losing streak.

weather to see if we have to prac-
tice inside, but weve never had
anything like this when weve had
to completely go to a different
place, she said.
Taking the extra time to get
to and from practice added to
the difficulty of the situation.
Senior rower Whitney Fasbender
said the team was already feeling
crunched to be out of town the
weekend before finals.
Its a little inconvenient, she
said.
But when the team hits the
water, it feels like any other prac-
tice, Naji said.
When we get to practice, every-

seems to work itself out.

hitting a solid .325. Woodbury went
2-for-4, including a three-run home
run, against Kansas in March.
The Evansville victory capped off
a strong offensive burst for Missouri
State, while the Bears hadnt won a
game in 29 days until Sunday theyve
tagged 19 extra base hits in their last
five contests for a .304 team average.
By the weekend, Kansas will be
just one game down with four to
go when Chicago State rolls in to
Hoglund Ballpark. The four-game set
against the Cougars, which includes
a doubleheader on Saturday, starts
Friday at 7 p.m.
For us right now we need to play
well this week, Price said. Get back
to .500 this week and try to get the
series from Nebraska to salvage the
season.
The weekend may or may not
feature the Jayhawks usual Saturday
night starting pitcher, sophomore
lefty Nick Czyz. He tossed the short-
est outing of the season last Saturday
against K-State, surrendering four
runs in a 2/3-inning appearance.
After he missed a start at Texas
Tech not quite three weeks ago
because of a sore pitching arm, Price
isnt taking any chances.
Because weve all watched him
pitch all year and that isnt the same
guy weve seen all season, Price said.
It is the time of the year when guys
are starting to feel beat up at the end
of the season, but at the same time
we need to make sure hes OK.
At the plate, the Jayhawks were
able to count on outfielders Kyle
Murphy and John Allman, along with
sophomore catcher Buck Afenir again
last weekend. Picking his team up,
Afenirs two-run double on Saturday
against the Wildcats accounted for
half of Kansas runs. Murphy and
Allman each hit in both games
against the Wildcats, but are now the
only starters with an average of more
than .300.
Nevertheless, Afenir gave credit to
his coach for keeping the teams head
up and keeping them focused and
confident for what lies ahead.
Its tougher on the players, Price
said. Im trying to do everything I
can to stay positive. Ive played and
Ive coached 29 years and I under-
stand when your struggling all youre
doing is making it worse if you dont
handle it right as the coach. Were try-
ing to be positive and let our players
play through it.

Henrickson left a successful
Virginia Tech program to take the
reigns at Kansas in 2004. The previ-
ous season the Jayhawks won only
two conference games and suffered
through the late-season retirement
of coach Marian Washington.
In her first season at Kansas,
Henrickson brought in a small
recruiting class that included now
senior forwards Jamie Boyd and
Taylor McIntosh. McIntosh found
a spot in the starting lineup right
away and has developed into an
above-average rebounder and
defender.
Henrickson landed guard
Shaquina Mosley from Central
Arizona Community College the
next season. By the end of her career
at Kansas, the soon-to-be graduated
Mosley established herself as one of
the most exciting and versatile play-
ers in the Big 12.
Heading into the 2006-2007
season expectations were low. The
team lost its three best players
to graduation and would rely on
contributions from a seven-player
freshman class.
The success of the incoming class
was a testament to Henricksons skill
as a motivator and coach. Forward
Danielle McCray shed 20 pounds
and became one of the teams best
scorers. Guards Sade Morris and
Kelly Kohn fought through bouts of
inconsistency and helped the team
defeat heavily favored Oklahoma
State in the first round of the Big 12
Tournament.
Henrickson recently took the
next step to solidify the program:
securing commitments from
three highly regarded prospects.
Center Krysten Boogaard, for-
ward Nicollette Smith and guard
Chakeitha Weldon should each fill
a distinct need on the young team.
They fit in great, Kohn said at
the teams postseason awards ban-
quet. They all add so many great
things.
Boogaard could give Kansas the
post presence it has lacked since the
departure of All-Big 12 Conference
center Crystal Kemp. Smith pro-
vides an outside shooting touch that
could spread opposing defenses to
give McIntosh and McCray scor-
ing opportunities. Henrickson said
Weldon possessed Shaq Mosley-like
athleticism.
College coaches are constantly
judged on the quality and potential
impact of their recruiting classes. If
the new contract is any indication,
Henricksons superiors think she has
earned a passing grade.

or the love of the
game.
Back in the day.
Be honest, how many times
have you heard these phrases
dished out when professional
sports were the topic of discus-
sion?
Sure theyre valid points, but to
point the finger at the athletes and
owners for the recent funny-money
spending sprees misses the big pic-
ture. The culprit is right there, star-
ing back at you in the mirror every
morning as you put on your New Era
fitted.
Escalating salaries, exposure and
pressure have awoken even the sleepi-
est of reminiscent old timers to whats
happening today in our professional
sports.
Its only natural to blame the
players and teams for this business
explosion. Theyre the ones rolling
in all that money, after all.
If anything, though, we the fans
are to blame. The fans raised the bar
for athletes when they demanded
increasing performances each season.
And those performances drained the
fun out of the game.
What we do as fans goes a long
way in determining the direction
of big-time sports in the U.S. So
far, weve been sending them in a
dangerous and downward spiral that
bottoms out at corrupt dealings and
meaningless statistics.
We speed up the process every
time we buy a $169 authentic jersey.
Even doing something as innocent
as sitting on the couch and watch-
ing a game fuels the payroll fire.
Lucrative TV contracts account for a
large chunk of the MLBs cash pile, a
$3 billion chunk from Fox and TBS
alone.
Now, athletes look at and treat
their bodies like the million-dol-
lar machines they are. Its all a side
effect of so much importance and
money being placed on people
playing sports.
Professional sports stopped
being played for the love of the
game a long time ago. Now, ath-
letes, owners, and fans alike treat
them as big business. They drool
over the third-quarter earnings
of Kobe Bryant and faint at the
sight of the Royals projected win
returns.
What can we do? Im not saying
sell all your earthly, athletic posses-
sions and throw out your plasma.
Sports mean so much, to so many
people that limiting them in any
way would be disastrous. Instead,
maybe try a simpler, more sedated
approach.
The next time Kobe bricks
a potential game-winner or the
Royals lose a heartbreaker in the
9th, step back, take a deep breath,
and think to yourself, Wow, that
was still pretty cool to watch.
Its a whole lot less stressful than
starting a blog and a whole lot less
embarrassing than weeping uncon-
trollably while you caress a George
Brett cut-out.

Hurdler named Female
athlete of the week
After setting a school record
in the 100-meter hurdles last
weekend, the Big 12 Conference
named junior Ashley Brown its
Female Athlete of the Week.
At the Arkansas Twilight Invi-
tational on May 4, Brown crossed
the line in 13.31 seconds to win
the race and earn her second
Kansas record.
Brown firted with the record
earlier in the season, running a
13.33 at the 2007 Kansas Relays.
Jennie Wonder, who set the mark
at the 2002 NCAA Championships,
previously held the record at
13.32 seconds.
At the
NCAA-last
chance meet
on March 3,
Brown set a
school record
in the 60-
meter hurdles
with a time
of 8.32 seconds. She also set an
Anschutz Pavilion record at the
Jayhawk Invitational, fnishing in
8.48 seconds.
This is the second such award
the Big 12 has given to Brown this
season. The week of March 27,
Brown was named the Big 12 Co-
Female Athlete of the Week after
winning the 100- and 400-meter
hurdles at the Tulsa Duels.
Browns record ranks her third in
the Big 12 in the 100-meter hurdles,
and shes also frst in the confer-
ence in the 400-meter hurdles with
a near school-record time of 58.48
seconds.

Horvath and Avdeeva were both

ence doubles team.
Sophomore Yuliana Svistun
grabbed the Most Improved

more campaign after playing in
only 10 matches her freshman
season.
Lastly, junior Lauren Hom-
mell took the Hardest Worker
Award and junior Stephanie
Smith was awarded the Sports-
manship Award. Hommell and
Smith both won their respec-
tive awards for the second year

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Zack
Greinke, who gave up three two-run
homers in one inning Sunday in a
loss to Detroit, has been dropped
from the Kansas City Royals rota-
tion and will work out of the bull-
pen.
Greinke, who left the club in
spring training 2005 and received
treatment for social anxiety, is 1-4
with a 5.71 ERA in seven starts.
Opponents are hitting .338 against
him.
I just hope he can regain some
confidence, Royals manager Buddy
Bell said Tuesday. Hes hard to read.
Hes pitched away from contact at
times and pitched behind in the
count. Sometimes, I can tell hes just
not as comfortable as he needs to be.
That is basically why were doing it.
Greinke was the sixth overall pick
in the 2002 draft and he made his
major league debut in 2004 at age 20.
He led the American League with 17
losses in 2005.
I personally feel like hes going
to end up starting at some point,
Bell said. Whether thats this year,
next year or whenever, I dont know
that. I think hes got too much abil-
ity, too many pitches that he can
throw for strikes for him not to be
in the rotation. I think youre always
going to be tempted to put him in
the rotation because of his stuff, but
right now we just think its best for
him and the team that hes in the
bullpen.
Bell said he did not believe put-
ting Greinke in the bullpen would
hinder his development.
He needs to be up here, Bell
said. Theres not a whole lot more
he can do down there. In saying that,
we talk about all the pitches he can
throw with command. Theres a part
of me that says maybe it wouldnt
be such a bad idea to go down and
throw innings, but right now I think
its better he learn up here and get
the experience up here.
While Bell did not say who would
take Greinkes spot in the rotation,
the Royals have two right-handers,
Scott Elarton and Luke Hudson, who
are coming off shoulder injuries and
have been rehabbing in the minors.

ST. LOUIS Colorado Rockies
manager Clint Hurdle wants Major
League Baseball to take another
look at instant replay.
Twice in three games, Hurdle
contends, wrong calls by umpires
cost the Rockies home runs. He
spoke the MLB office Tuesday to
voice his concern.
Its a very
difficult call
and my point
of contention is
it either is or is
not a home run,
Hurdle said. I
dont think thats
an area where
the umpires dis-
cretion should be
involved.
The NFL,
NBA and NHL
all use some form of instant replay.
The issue has been raised in recent
years by baseball officials, but never
got very far commissioner Bud
Selig is among those against it.
On Monday night, what
appeared to be a ninth-inning, go-
ahead homer by Colorados Troy
Tulowitzki was instead ruled a
double by second base umpire Bob
Davidson, who said the ball went
off the top of the wall in left-center
field.
Hurdle was ejected for the first
time this season after a long argu-
ment. Tulowitzki eventually scored
the tiebreaking run in a 3-2 win
over St. Louis.
On Saturday, the Rockies said
a home run by Garrett Atkins was
taken away by umpires who didnt
see the ball well enough.
You cant lose home runs,
Hurdle said. When theyre hit,
they need to be a homer. Thats it,
thats the bottom line.
Hurdle said he has examples
of other homers that have been
lost the last
few seasons.
He believes
theyre often
the result of
more fan-
friendly ball-
parks with
paying cus-
tomers closer
to the action.
I dont
disagree with
keeping the
human element on balls and strikes
and plays at first, he said. Thats
the hard question, where do you
draw the line? But to say you dont
draw it anywhere, Im not so sure
thats the right answer.
Hurdle said hes in favor of a sys-
tem where challenges are limited to
game-changing plays.
On Monday night at Yankee
Stadium, the Seattle Mariners ben-
efited from a missed call to beat
New York 3-2. Pinch-runner Willie
Bloomquist looked out on a steal
attempt in the eighth inning, but
was called safe by umpire Gerry
Davis and wound up scoring the
tying run.
Well take it, Bloomquist said.
Its just a good thing theres no
instant replay in baseball.
After seeing a replay, Davis
admitted he missed the call.
Were all human, Yankees man-
ager Joe Torre said Tuesday.
Torre, however, was not sure
about adding replay.
How much longer you want this
game to go on? he said. Theres a
difference in getting your moneys
worth and being able to get up in
the morning.
Cardinals manager Tony La
Russa said he couldnt tell whether
Tulowitzkis drive cleared the fence.
They had a meeting, nobody
had a better view, the guy scored
anyway, so whats the issue? La
Russa said.
La Russa is not in favor of instant
replay.
I think the umpires do a good
job, he said. They make fewer
mistakes than managers do and
pitchers hanging breaking balls and
hitters popping up balls down the
middle.
The Rockies ended up winning
both of the games in question.
When you have everybody in
the ballpark saying its a homer
its kind of tough to believe its
a double, Tulowitzki said. Then
again theyre on my team, so I was
a little confused.
Since I scored and we won, it
kind of evens things out a little bit,
he said.

Manager calls for replay
mlb
By r.B. FALLstroM
AssociAted Press
ST. LOUIS Big-game pressure
is nothing for Adam Wainwright,
whose dramatic strikeouts
accounted for the final outs in the
World Series and NL champion-
ship series.
But his arm is still getting used
to the work load after moving
from the St. Louis Cardinals bull-
pen, along with
Braden Looper,
into the rota-
tion. The right-
hander is experi-
encing break-in
pains that might
explain his 2-2
record and 5.60
ERA entering
We d n e s d a y s
start against
the Colorado
Rockies.
Wainwright won his last outing
by battling for six innings with less
than his best stuff, and has com-
plained of soreness and a dead arm
feeling in the early going.
Throwing a baseball, its the
most unnatural thing to do in
sports, Wainwright said. Its
just the wear and tear through
32 innings in spring training and
now.
I dont want to make a big
thing of it, its just something that
grabs you and youve got to take
care of it.
According to the teams medi-
cal staff, what Wainwright has
been going through is normal.
Dr. George Paletta, the team phy-
sician, said Wainwright has also
complained of back and leg sore-
ness, but no specific problems.
I think its mainly just been an
issue of stamina and him getting
accustomed to being in the rota-
tion, Paletta said. Hes had no
X-rays, no studies, nothing.
Wainwright served as a setup
man most of
last year, his
first full year
in the major
leagues, before
stepping up
as the closer
when Jason
Isringhausen
u n d e r we nt
hip surgery in
September. In
the postseason he was 1-0 with
four saves and worked 9 2/3 score-
less innings, freezing the New York
Mets Carlos Beltran for a called
third strike in Game 7 of the NLCS
and then fanning Brandon Inge of
the Detroit Tigers in the Cardinals
Game 5 World Series clincher.
In spring training he had a
minuscule 1.10 ERA, the first indi-
cation that the conversion would
be a snap.
It was easy because I was
making it a lot easier for myself,
Wainwright said. I wasnt walking
people and I was letting them hit
ground balls and getting them out
as fast as possible.
Wainwright abandoned that
philosophy for a few of his early-
season starts, trying to overpower
the hitters instead. In three starts
after winning at Houston in his
first major league start, he was 0-2
and allowed 17 earned runs and 27
hits in 15 2-3 innings.
He got back with the plan in
a 3-2 victory over the Astros on
Friday, helping the Cardinals stop
a five-game losing streak. The start
carried extra motivation for St.
Louis, which won for the first time
in four games since the death of
reliever Josh Hancock and also
halted a five-game losing streak.
I wanted to at least put a solid
outing out there, Wainwright said.
Id been scrambling around a little
bit and I wanted to at least turn
out something to make him proud
a little bit.
The early ups and downs have
done nothing to diminish the
promise of a pitcher the Cardinals
acquired along with Jason Marquis
in a deal for J.D. Drew in 2003.
He made more good pitches,
and hes capable of pitching a game
where he makes all good pitches,
manager Tony La Russa said after
his last start. Hes very special.
Looper, a setup man last year
and a former closer, has been
more successful in the early going,
leading a staff minus ace Chris
Carpenter with a 4.2 record and a
2.66 ERA.

Houston Astros starter roy oswalt pitches against the Cincinnati Reds in the first inning on Monday in Cincinnati. The Astros won, 5-4.
AssociAted Press
Roy Oswalt loves facing the
Cincinnati Reds. Brad Penny cant
think of anywhere hed rather pitch
than Florida.
Oswalt improved to 19-1 in his
career against the Reds with the
Houston Astros 5-4 victory Monday
night.
His success against the Reds is
unprecedented. The right-hander
won his first 15 decisions against
them.
Coming out of the bullpen, I
felt better than I did in a long time,
Oswalt said. The ball was jumping
out of my hand. My curve was great.
I thought I might go seven or eight
innings without giving up a hit.
Oswalt got into a little trouble in
the second inning, giving up con-
secutive homers to Adam Dunn and
Alex Gonzalez. Its only the sec-
ond time in 22 career starts against
Cincinnati that he gave up two hom-
ers.
Hes just so good, Dunn said.
We jumped on him early, but to
his credit, like he always does, if you
dont get five right there, youre not
going to get it.
Penny wanted a souvenir after
striking out a career-high 14 in Los
Angeles 6-1 victory against Florida.
So he took the ball after his final
strikeout and put it in his hip pocket.
Penny allowed only five baserunners
in seven shutout innings to help the
Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-1 victory
against his former team, the Florida
Marlins.
I love pitching here, Penny said.
The mound is huge, and its perfect
for a guy like me who likes to throw
hard. My fastball was the best it has
been all year.
In other NL games, it was: San
Francisco 9, New York 4; Arizona 4,
Philadelphia 3; Colorado 3, St. Louis
2; Milwaukee 3, Washington 0; and
San Diego 4, Atlanta 2.
Penny (4-0) walked none and gave
up five hits, including two infield
singles, and lowered his ERA to 1.39.
Following no-decisions in his past
three games, he became the first
Dodgers starter to begin a season 4-0
since Kazuhisa Ishii in 2002.
Pennys strikeout total was the
highest by a Dodgers pitcher since
Chan Ho Park had 14 at Milwaukee
on Aug. 29, 2000. Second-year Los
Angeles manager Grady Little said
the performance was the best he has
seen by Penny.
He played hardball tonight,
Little said. Brad didnt shy away
from anyone.
At Cincinnati, Lance Berkman
hit his 36th career homer against
the Reds 13 have come at Great
American Ball Park. He also has 104
RBIs against them his highest
total against any team.
Oswalt needed Luke Scotts three-
run homer in the eighth inning to
earn the victory.

UMsL hires curliss-taylor
as coach for 2007-2008
ST. LOUIS The University of
Missouri-St. Louis said Tuesday
that Lisa Curliss-Taylor has been
hired as the next womens bas-
ketball coach.
She comes to the school from
East Texas Baptist University, an
NCAA Division III school, where
she served as head coach for
the past four years. She had a
57-48 record during her career
there, including a 40-14 record
the past two seasons.
Curliss-Taylor served as an
assistant coach at Division II
Washburn University for two
seasons, prior to her time at
East Texas Baptist University.
There, the team was 53-11 in
those seasons.
Curliss-Taylor, from Oklahoma
City, played in college at Oral
Roberts, before she transferred
to the Oklahoma, where she
served as a student-assistant
coach.
She and her husband, Pres-
ton, have a 1-year-old daughter.

carpenter undergoes
elbow surgery on tuesday
ST. LOUIS St. Louis Car-
dinals pitcher Chris Carpenter
underwent arthroscopic surgery
to remove bone spurs in his
elbow on Tuesday, a procedure
the team described as an initial
success.
Carpenter, the NL Cy Young
award winner in 2005 and a
15-game winner last year, could
begin physical therapy later this
week. Team physician George
Paletta, who performed the sur-
gery, said earlier that Carpenter
would be sidelined at least
three months.
Carpenter hasnt pitched
since the season opener, when
he allowed five runs in six in-
nings in a loss to the New York
Mets. He had been hopeful of
returning to the rotation on
Tuesday before experiencing a
setback.
Brad Thompson filled his slot,
allowing one run in five innings
in his second major league start

By DOUG FERGUSON
ASSOciAtED PRESS
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
His image hangs from a ban-
ner on the road into The Players
Championship, a courtesy extended
only to winners. He will always have
a locker in the corner room set
aside for champions in the sprawling
clubhouse at TPC Sawgrass, right
between Tiger Woods and Adam
Scott.
More reassuring for Craig Perks
than any of those status symbols is a
DVD he keeps at home.
I look at it when I get down to
say, Hey, I did that. Im The Players
champion. I won, Perks said.
It was five years ago, his only PGA
Tour victory, a finish that arguably
remains the greatest in the 33-year
history of this event.
Trailing by one shot, Perks
chipped in for eagle from 20 feet
on the 16th hole. Then came the
scary island green on the par-3 17th,
where Perks holed a 30-foot birdie
putt. And right when it looked as
though he was on the cusp of a
choke, he chipped in for par on the
final hole from 30 feet behind the
green.
Youre unbelievable, Woods told
him that afternoon at the trophy
presentation.
Unbelievable takes on a new
meaning now.
Since that 02 victory at Sawgrass,
the 40-year-old New Zealander has
played 125 times on the PGA Tour
and made 39 cuts, with only two of
those finishes in the top 10. The last
one was a tie for fourth at Colonial
four years ago.
He has played five times this
year and has yet to break par, much
less cash a check. Perks is coming
off a season in which he finished
254th out of 263 who earned official
money on the PGA Tour. His lone
payoff came at New Orleans, where
he finished last.
He plugged in the DVD at the
start of the season to give himself a
boost. Didnt work.
I take a positive away from it,
knowing I can do it, Perks said. I
know I can play well. I can compete
with the best in the world. I just
havent done it.
Time is running out.
This is the last year of his five-
year exemption on the PGA Tour
and to The Players Championship.
He will always have status as a past
champion, and likely can get spon-
sor exemptions as one of the nicest,
classiest people around.
Perks has heard endless references
to being a one-hit wonder, and he
might end up being the poster boy.
Shaun Micheel has not won since
his PGA Championship in 2003, but
he was runner-up at the PGA last
year and reached the final of the
World Match Play Championship
last year in England. Paul Lawrie
won the British Open at Carnoustie,
then captured the Dunhill Links a
few years later at St. Andrews. Ben
Curtis won twice last year.
Im proud to be out here playing,
and to have won the event I won,
Perks said. A lot of great players
have never won at all. Im not push-
ing to get that second victory, Im
pushing to get my game back in
shape.
There are few signs he is about to
turn the corner.
His banner will always be on
Champions Way. His nameplate will
in the champions locker room.
The goal after this week will be to
see it himself.

BROKEN ARROW, Okla.
South Koreas Mi Hyun Kim
announced Tuesday that she will
donate $100,000 of her winnings
from the SemGroup Championship
to benefit Kansans affected by a
deadly tornado last week.
The donation to the United Way
Greensburg Disaster Fund amounts
to nearly half of the $210,000 Kim
won by defeating Hall of Famer
Juli Inkster in a playoff Sunday at
the LPGA tournament at Cedar
Ridge Country Club. The tornado
destroyed Greensburg on Friday
night and has claimed at least 11
lives.
I was just happy that I won the
tournament, Kim said. I felt like
I needed to do something for them.
Winning a tournament on its own
was a good thing, but I just decided
to donate some money.
Kim, 30, has won eight LPGA
events and her career earnings on
the tour total more than $6.5 mil-
lion since 1999.
Most of time, I get the money
here and donate to South Korea.
But, I want to help people here,
too, Kim said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Chad
Gaudin struck out a career-high
eight and the Oakland Athletics
defeated the Kansas City Royals
6-1 on Tuesday night.
Gaudin (2-1) pitched eight
innings, holding the Royals to
five hits and allowed just one hit
after the fourth inning. He low-
ered his ERA to 2.18, third in the
American League.
The As, who won back-to-
back games for the first time
since April 23-24 at Baltimore,
improved to 28-6 at Kauffman
Stadium since the beginning of
the 2000 season. The Royals have
lost four straight and are 2-6
on the 10-game homestand, their
longest of the season.
The As, who started the game
hitting .235, collected 13 hits,
matching their season high. They
also tied their season high with
five doubles.
Eric Chavez, who was 2-for-23
in May, had three hits, including
two doubles. Dan Johnson, Chris
Snelling and Bobby Crosby each
had two hits for Oakland. Nick
Swisher drove in two runs and
leads the team with 17 RBI.
Jorge De La Rosa (3-3), who
entered the game with an AL-best
0.82 home ERA, was roughed up
for six runs five earned and
10 hits in 4 1/3 innings. His home
ERA jumped to 2.39.
Mark Teahen had three hits for
Kansas City.
Swisher scored the As first run in
the second inning. An inning later,
he stroked a single to right with two
outs, scoring Mark Ellis and Chavez
and giving the As a 3-0 lead.
Billy Butler dropped Mark
Ellis fly in the fourth, allowing
Snelling to score an unearned
run, upping the As advantage to
4-1.
Johnson and Crosby hit back-
to-back doubles in the fifth
to chase De La Rosa. Crosby
advanced to third on a Jimmy
Gobble balk and scored on Jason
Kendalls sacrifice fly.
Teahens triple to center in the
third scored David DeJesus, who
had singled, for the only Kansas
City run.

ST. LOUIS Pinch hitter Scott
Spiezio and Adam Kennedy drove
in two runs each in a four-run sev-
enth inning, giving the punchless St.
Louis Cardinals their best offensive
output in 10 games in a 4-1 vic-
tory against the Colorado Rockies
on Tuesday night.
Brad Thompson worked five
strong innings in his second major
league start. He stepped in for the
injured Chris Carpenter, who under-
went arthroscopic surgery to remove
bone spurs from his elbow earlier
Tuesday. The teams ace is expected
to be out for at least three months.
The Cardinals raised their record
to 6-11 at home. They totaled 15
runs in the previous nine games,
twice getting shut out. Despite scor-
ing in only three innings on the cur-
rent six-game homestand, St. Louis
is 3-2.
St. Louis rally spoiled a domi-
nant outing from the Rockies Taylor
Buchholz, who allowed four hits in
six scoreless innings while working
on six days rest. Buchholz entered
with an 8.04 ERA and gave up 10
runs in 8 1/3 innings in his previous
two starts.
Matt Holliday was 3-for-4 with
his sixth home run and two doubles
for the Rockies.
Hes 14-for-29
(.483) with five
homers at new
Busch Stadium,
which opened
last year.
K e l v i n
Jimenez (1-0)
allowed a walk
in 1 1/3 innings,
Ryan Franklin
worked the
eighth and Jason
Isringhausen finished for his ninth
save in 10 chances.
Jim Edmonds, who entered in an
0-for-20 slump, singled for his third
hit with one out off Denny Bautista
(2-1) to start the rally. Yadier Molina
singled and David Eckstein was hit
by a pitch to load the bases, chasing
Bautista, and Spiezio lined the first
pitch from Alberto Arias down the
right-field line to put the Cardinals
ahead 2-1.
Kennedy followed with a two-run
single against a drawn-in infield for
a three-run cushion.
T h o mp s o n
allowed a run
and six hits in
five innings, the
longest outing of
his major league
career. The only
damage was
Hollidays homer
in the third.
He worked
around two hits
and a walk in the
second when left
fielder Chris Duncan threw out Brad
Hawpe at the plate trying to score on
Omar Quintanillas single. Duncan
also made the defensive play of the
game, robbing Todd Helton of extra
bases and an RBI in the sixth with
a diving catch near the foul line in
left.
SAN FRANCISCO Barry
Bonds hit his 745th career home
run Tuesday night, moving with-
in 10 of Hank Aarons record
755.
The San Francisco slugger
connected on the first pitch from
New Yorks Tom Glavine for a
solo shot over the center-field
wall with one out in the fourth,
pulling the Giants within 4-1 on
his 11th homer of the season.
He rounded the bases as 745
flashed on the main scoreboard.
The seven-time NL MVP
tipped his hat as he walked out to
his spot in left field in the top of
the fifth to a standing ovation.
It was Bonds fourth career
homer off Glavine and the first in
10 years against the left-hander
since an inside-the-park homer
April 23, 1997, at Candlestick
Park when Glavine was with the
Atlanta Braves.
The 42-year-old Bonds hom-
ered on May 8 for the first time
in his career, leaving Aug. 5 and
Sept. 30 as the only days in the
regular season he has yet to hit
one out.

Goal within reach for Bonds
By DAVID BAUDER
AssocIAtED PREss
NEW YORK Maybe theyre
outside in the garden. They could be
playing softball. Or perhaps theyre
just plain bored.
In TVs worst spring in recent
memory, an alarming number of
Americans drifted away from tele-
vision the past two months: More
than 2.5 million fewer people were
watching ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox
than at the same time last year, sta-
tistics show.
Everyone has a theory to explain
the plummeting ratings: early
Daylight Savings Time, more reruns,
bad shows, more shows being record-
ed or downloaded or streamed.
Scariest of all for the networks,
however, is the idea that many peo-
ple are now making their own televi-
sion schedules. The industry isnt
fully equipped to keep track of them,
and as a result the networks are
scrambling to hold on to the nearly
$8.8 billion they collected during last
springs ad-buying season.
This may be the spring where
we see a radical shift in the way the
culture thinks of watching TV, said
Sarah Bunting, co-founder of the
Web site Television Without Pity.
The viewer plunge couldnt have
come at a worse time for the net-
works. Next week they will showcase
their fall schedules to advertisers in
the annual up front presentations.
The networks argue that view-
ership is changing, not necessarily
declining. Some advertisers respond
that they are no longer willing to pay
full price up front to reach viewers
that may not tune in later.
This fall, both sides will be watch-
ing what happens with families like
Tony Corts. During prime-time,
Cort, his wife and four kids tend to
scatter to computers or other activi-
ties in different parts of their New
Jersey home. (Not during American
Idol or Lost,
though.) Theyre
definitely watch-
ing less TV, said
Cort, who runs
a Web site for
martial arts afi-
cionados.
I remem-
ber when `24
was on, that
was something
there was a lot
of interest and
excitement about, he said.
News flash: 24 is still on. Its rat-
ings are down, too, amid a critically
savaged season.
More bad news abounds. NBC
set a record last month for its least-
watched week during the past 20
years, and maybe ever then broke
it a week later. This is the least popu-
lar season ever for CBS Survivor.
ABCs Lost has lost nearly half its
live audience more than 10 mil-
lion people from the days it was a
sensation. The Sopranos is ending
on HBO, and the response is a col-
lective yawn.
Events like American Idol on
Fox (which is owned by News Corp.)
and Dancing With the Stars on
ABC (owned by The Walt Disney
Co.) are doing the most to prop
up the industry.
But still, in the
six weeks after
Daylight Savings
Time started in
early March,
p r i m e - t i m e
viewership for
the four biggest
broadcast net-
works was down
to 37.6 million
people, from 40.3
million during
the same period in 2006, according
to Nielsen Media Research.
Millions of missing viewers could
translate into millions of missing
dollars for the networks heading into
the up-front sales season.
Advertisers dont believe that the
drop in viewership is as dramatic as
the numbers suggest, but theyre no
longer willing to spend what they
once did in the spring market, said
Brad Adgate of Horizon Media, an
ad buying firm.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. The owner
of an upscale steakhouse in Louisville
said he asked O.J. Simpson to leave
his restaurant the night before the
Kentucky Derby because he is sick-
ened by the attention Simpson still
attracts.
I didnt want to serve him because
of my convictions of what hes done
to those families, Jeff Ruby said in a
telephone interview Tuesday. The
way he continues to torture the lives
of those families ... with his behavior,
attitude and conduct.
Simpson, an NFL Hall of Famer
and Heisman Trophy winner, was
found innocent in 1995 of killing his
ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and
Ron Goldman but was found liable
in a civil trial that followed.
Ruby who owns restaurants in
Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra,
Indiana said Simpson, who was
in town for the Derby on Saturday,
came in with a group of about 12
Friday night and was seated at a table
in the back. A customer came up to
Ruby and was giddy about seeing
Simpson, Ruby said.
I didnt want that experience
in my restaurant, Ruby said, later
adding that seeing Simpson get so
much attention makes me sick to
my stomach.
He said he went to Simpsons table
and said, Im not serving you. Ruby
said when Simpson didnt respond,
he repeated himself and left the
room.
Ruby said Simpson soon came up
to him and said he understood and
would leave.
Simpsons lawyer, Yale Galanter,
did not immediately return phone
calls Tuesday night seeking com-
ment.

LAS VEGAS To his clos-
est friends and boxing associates,
Diego Chico Corrales death in a
high-speed motorcycle crash came
as no surprise.
I think anyone who knew him
well knew he was a real thrill-
seeker, said Joe Goossen, Corrales
estranged former trainer. Goossen
recalled begging the boxer who
threw big punches and took big
chances not to ride the motorcycles
he brought to training camp.
We had a great three-year run,
Goossen said Tuesday of a rela-
tionship that ended when the two
parted in October 2006. We won
three world titles in three straight
fights in two different weights.
Corrales promoter, Gary Shaw,
said Corrales, whose career fal-
tered the past two years, recently
bought the racing motorcycle he
was riding when he was killed.
He fought recklessly and he
lived recklessly, Shaw said. That
was his style.
Police said Corrales 2007 Suzuki
hit the back of a car Monday eve-
ning while trying to pass at high
speed on a busy residential street
about 7 miles west of the Las Vegas
Strip and not far from his home.
Corrales, who was wearing a
helmet, was pronounced dead at
the scene of the 7:22 p.m. crash.
He was 29.
Las Vegas police blamed speed
and rider inexperience. The state
Department of Motor Vehicles said
Corrales vehicle and motorcycle
licenses had been revoked in July
2006 for a drunken driving convic-
tion on an October 2005 arrest.
Las Vegas police Sgt. Tracy
McDonald said investigators found
an April 21 bill of sale for the
motorcycle and were trying to cal-
culate the speed, which he said
appeared well above the posted
35 mph.
The Clark County coroners
office was awaiting results of blood
drug and alcohol tests before rul-
ing on a cause of Corrales death,
a spokeswoman said. McDonald
said the toxicology tests could take
about two weeks.
Corrales had a history of drunk-
en driving and faced arrest stem-
ming from a failure to appear in
January in a Las Vegas court on
a separate DUI charge on March
1, 2006, said Kathy Karstedt, a
spokeswoman for the Clark
County district attorney. Charges
also included speeding and evad-
ing a police officer.
In 1999, Corrales also pleaded
guilty in Henderson Justice Court
to misdemeanor driving under
the influence of alcohol, was fined
and agreed to attend traffic school,
Karstedt said.
Corrales lawyer, Marc Risman,
said the 2006 DUI case was being
resolved. Risman said Corrales
was in training camp when he was
supposed to appear in court.
It would be a shame if his
memory was tarnished at this point
by past incidents that may have
nothing to do with what happened
yesterday, Risman said.
Diego lived life to the full-
est, said Pat Lamparelli, 51, a
family friend who used to go on
father-son outings with his son and
Corrales son.

VIENNA, Austria This isnt
the typical whispering you might
expect to hear at a library.
Viennas City Hall has launched
a sex hotline to raise money for
the capitals main public library,
officials said Tuesday.
Its unusual, but its not particu-
larly raunchy: Callers pay 53 cents
a minute to listen to an actress read
breathless passages from erotica
dating to the Victorian era.
City Hall set up the hotline ear-
lier this month to help the library
raise cash for planned remodeling,
Austrian media reported.
Anne Bennent, a famous
Austrian stage and film star, reads
passages from the Vienna librarys
collection of 1,200 works of erotic
fiction from the 18th, 19th and
20th centuries, the library said.
Officials said the hotline would
be operational through May 31.

LOS ANGELES Billy Ray
Cyrus, who said appearing on
Dancing With the Stars was the
scariest thing I could possibly think
of to do, has bid farewell to the
ballroom.
The 45-year-old singer and actor
was eliminated from the ABC dance-
off Tuesday. He seemed to know his
time was up before the results were
announced.
This is a celebration tonight, he
said early in the show. I got to meet
my hero, Muhammad Ali, last night.
I conquered my fear. Im happy to be
here and Im ready to go on Jimmy
Kimmel.
Each week, Kimmel interviews
the eliminated celebrity dancer on
his late-night show.
Ali made a rare public appearance
Monday, coming to Dancing With
the Stars to watch his daughter,
Laila Ali, perform the waltz and
the jive.
Cyrus danced the mambo and the
foxtrot, which judge Bruno Tonioli
called crap.
You are always deliciously awful,
he told Cyrus, who also placed in
the bottom two last week. He and
his professional partner, Karina
Smirnoff, earned this weeks lowest
score.
If by any miracle you remain in
this competition, Tonioli contin-
ued, shes going to end up in Betty
Ford.
Judges scores are combined
with viewer votes to determine
which couple is eliminated each
week.
Tuesdays results show also fea-
tured a performance by Grammy
winner Nelly Furtado, who sang her
breakthrough 2000 hit, Im Like a
Bird and her new single, All Good
Things.
Paulina Porizkova, Shandi
Finnessey, Leeza Gibbons, Clyde
Drexler, Heather Mills and John
Ratzenberger have already been
eliminated. The remaining celebrity
dancers Ian Ziering, Joey Fatone,
Laila Ali and Apolo Anton Ohno
begin the competitions semifinal
round on Monday.
