He spoke about the problem of national debt and also said registering to vote on campus was a positive change. During his classroom visits, Moore brought out a photo of several small chil- dren gathered around one another. These are my grandchildren, Moore said. And we are currently passing this national debt on to them and to you. We have mortgaged our grandchildrens futures. Moore said that the national debt had gone up $5.8 trillion since 1999. Currently, Moore said, the United States collected $375 billion a year on interest alone from the national debt. Thats money that could be used for education, Moore said. Moore also watched KU Young Democrats register student voters on Wescoe Beach. I think its great that theres so much political activism in young people, Moore said. Im proud of the KU Young Democrats because they know as well as I do that it is a civic responsibility to regis- ter to vote. Moore also said he remembered that while he attended the University as a student from 1965 to 1967, students werent able to reg- ister to vote on cam- pus. This is a huge and positive change, Moore said. It provides flexibility to stu- dents. Moore met with several other groups on campus, including Student Senate and the presidents of both Amnesty International and the Black Student Union. Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior and student body president, and other mem- bers of Student Senate ate lunch with Moore. politics Moore visits University, speaks to classes, student groups BY BETSY CUTCLIFF bcutclif@kansan.com With the beginning of the fasting month of Ramadan on Sept. 1, Lawrence restau- rants were empty of local Muslims, who were required to fast from sunup to sun- down. The holy month is based on the lunar cal- endar. It begins on the first day of the ninth month to celebrate the initial revealing of the Quran by Allah. Fasting is required and entails neither eating nor drinking while the sun is up, as well as abstaining from sex and smoking. Dalal AlBuhayri, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, graduate student, said she spent most of her day sleeping to avoid being drained from the fast, only getting up occasionally to pray. Last year I had to drop two classes because of the fasting and being tired from it, she said. I couldnt do my homework or pay attention in class. This year she took most of her classes at night to avoid the harsh toll fasting takes on the body. Middle Eastern businesses around Lawrence also feel the presence of the fast, especially with the meal after sundown, called the Iftar. Mohammad Al Zaiti, man- ager of the Mediterranean Market and Caf on Kasold and 15th Streets, said he saw an increase in Muslim shoppers preparing for the evening meal. We see a lot more Muslim and Arab shoppers this time of year, he said. We sell a lot of sweets, like Baklava and biscuits to celebrate after the sun goes down. BY JESSE TRMBLE jtrimble@kansan.com The famous KU whistle will sound again. University Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced Friday that the steam whistle, which signals the ending of classes, would be turned back on as of Monday. Hemenway said he decided to have the whistle turned on after hearing several peoples remarks about the whistle being gone. Hemenway also said he appreciated those who expressed their willingness to support the whistles operation by donating money to have it running again. Those who wish to donate can do so at the Universitys maintenance fund, which helps preserve campus facilities and infrastructure for current and future students.

Associated Press nAtionAl Obesity linked to liver transplants By linDa a. JoHnSon aSSociateD PreSS TRENTON, N.J. In a new and disturbing twist on the obesity epidemic, some overweight teenag- ers have severe liver damage caused by too much body fat, and a hand- ful have needed liver transplants. Many more may need a new liver by their 30s or 40s, say experts warning that pediatricians need to be more vigilant. The condition, which can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure or liver cancer, is being seen in kids in the United States, Europe, Australia and even some developing countries, according to a surge of recent medical studies and doctors interviewed by The Associated Press. The American Liver Foundation and other experts estimate 2 per- cent to 5 percent of American children over age 5, nearly all of them obese or overweight, have the condition, called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Its clearly the most common cause of liver disease, said Dr. Ronald Sokol, head of public policy at the liver foundation and a liver specialist at Childrens Hospital and University of Colorado Denver. Some experts think as many as 10 percent of all children and half of those who are obese may suf- fer from it, but note that few are given the simple blood test that can signal its presence. A biopsy is the only sure way to diagnose this disease. As fat builds up, the liver can become inflamed and then scarred over time, leading to cir- rhosis, a serious condition, which in years past was mostly caused by hepatitis or drinking too much alcohol. Liver failure or liver can- cer can follow, but if cirrhosis has not yet developed, fatty liver disease can be reversed through weight loss. The disease is most common in overweight children with belly fat and certain warning signs, such as diabetes or cholesterol or heart problems. However, its been seen in a few children of normal weight. Genetics, diet and exercise level all play a role. It is most prevalent among Hispanics, relatively rare among African-Americans, and more common among boys than girls. There are people in their 30s or early 40s that will require a liver transplant from developing the condition as a kid, predicts Dr. Jos Derdoy, head of liver transplants at Cardinal Glennon Childrens Medical Center in St. Louis. Hes treated a 15-year-old, 530-pound boy and many others with the con- dition. With fatty liver disease becom- ing more common in adults, many experts predict it will become the top cause of liver transplants by 2020. There arent enough livers to go around, says Dr. Philip Rosenthal of the University of California-San Francisco Childrens Hospital.

Irving developed liver disease and had a liver transplant in July 2007. oDD newS cockatoo confuses neighbors, cops with cries TRENTON, N.J. Cries for help inside a Trenton, N.J., home turned out to be for the birds. Neighbors called police Wednesday morning after hear- ing a womans persistent cry of Help me! Help me! coming from a house. Ofcers arrived and when no one answered the door, they kicked it in to make a rescue. But instead of a damsel in distress, ofcers found a caged cockatoo with a convincing call. It wasnt the frst time the 10-year-old bird named Luna said something that brought authori- ties to the home of Evelyn DeLeon. About seven years ago, the bird cried like a baby for hours, leading to reports of a possible abandoned baby and a visit to the home by state child welfare workers. But it was only Luna practicing a newfound sound, DeLeon says. DeLeon says her bird learns much of her ever-growing vocab- ulary from watching television, in both English and Spanish. robber skips grabbing cash, prefers condoms DALLAS A robber rolled into a Dallas convenience store came armed with a bat and a knife. He left with a lot of condoms and an energy drink. Dallas police Cpl. Kevin Janse said Friday that a man in a wheel- chair entered a Dallas 7-Eleven Wednesday afternoon, rolled straight toward the cash register and beat it with a baseball bat until it opened. But he didnt grab any cash. Instead, police say he stole 10 boxes of condoms and an energy drink before making his getaway Wednesday afternoon. Associated Press AssociAted Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Barack Obama isnt John McCains only opponent. Sometimes McCain sounds like hes running almost as hard against President Bush and the Republican Party as he is against Obama, his Democratic rival for the White House. The GOP is guilty of indulging in a spending spree of taxpayers money, McCain laments. They havent solved huge problems such as the looming insolvency of Social Security and Medicare, passing on huge IOUs and perplexing issues to future generations instead of fix- ing them as they had promised. He doesnt name Bush but the impli- cation is clear: It happened on his watch and he signed bills that made the deficit soar. We began to value power over principle, McCain said in Colorado Springs, Colo. Some lawmakers turned corrupt and wound up in jail, he told a rally in Albuquerque, N.M. Change is coming, change is coming, McCain promised, pro- jecting an image of independence and political populism. One of his challenges is to sepa- rate himself from the unpopular incumbent in the White House and fight against Obamas charge that a McCain presidency would amount to a third term for Bush. On the core issues, the economy and the war, he has been joined to Bush at the hip, said Democratic pollster Mark Mellman. On the other hand, Bush is a lead weight dragging him down. He has to rely on rhetoric to separate himself but he cant separate himself on poli- cies important to the American people. Eager to keep control of the White House, Republicans are keeping their mouths shut about McCains barbs. McCains criticism rankles White House officials who are eager to build up Bushs legacy. They are quick to strike hard at anything they perceive as criticism from almost any quarter, particu- larly the media. But Bush aides are giving McCain a free pass even as they quietly grumble about how pointed his attacks have become. Theres no free pass from Obamas campaign. Voting with George Bush 90 percent of the time isnt being a maverick, its being the presidents sidekick, said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton. The idea that John McCain represents change in Washington is as laugh- able as his claim that hell take on the special interests when some of the biggest corporate lobbyists in America are running his cam- paign. Railing against Washingtons political establishment is an old tradition in presidential cam- paigns, but McCain overlooks the fact that he is an elder in the club. He is Arizonas senior senator, hav- ing served 22 years after four years in the House. He doesnt talk about how long hes been in Washington, focusing instead on the fact that he has been at odds with many Republicans on a range of issues such as campaign finance reform, imposing limits on harsh treatment of terrorist sus- pects, tax cuts, which he opposed before he supported them, and federally financed embryonic stem cell research. Obviously, I was very unpopu- lar in some parts of my own party, whether it be on the issue of climate change or against [former Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfelds strategy and the presidents strategy in Iraq, or whether it be on cam- paign finance reform or a number of other issues that I fought against the special interests, McCain said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS Face the Nation. The clear message is that there are no sacred cows. Bush and Congress are very unpopular, so theyre an easy target. I dont work for a party. I dont work for a special interest. I dont work for myself. I work for you, McCain said in a televised address Saturday to the AARP, the nations largest group of older Americans. Campaigning later, McCain has not offered specific solutions, say- ing instead he will reach out to Democrats for answers. He said he would have more than one Democrat in his Cabinet. Traditionally at sunset Muslims gather with friends and family and partake in a shared meal usually containing some sort of soup, nuts, dates and tea, depending on the geographical location. Dessert is a main part of the meal, and Al Zaiti said this is what he stocks up on in his store. Mostly people are shopping for a large group, so they buy a lot at once, especially desserts, he said. While medical studies report- ed by The Associated Press have shown that fasting can be benefi- cial to health, it is also dangerous to overeat or overload the stomach with heavy foods, hence the light fare of sweets, fruits and soups. AlBuhayri said the breaking of the fast at sundown was the most enjoyable tradition of the month. After the sun goes down all of your friends get together and you eat a great meal, with a lot of sweets afterwards to celebrate, she said. After the meal at night we all spend time together and talk about the Quran and Mohammed and pray and spend time talking about stories and faith. Health concerns are not sup- posed to interfere with the month. There are exceptions to the tradition of fasting for people who are too ill or unable to abstain from food and water. Pregnant women, menstru- ating women, the sick and elderly are encouraged not to endanger their health but to make up days they missed later in the year. But fasting isnt the only empha- sized practice of Ramadan. Erhan Delen, Mardin, Turkey, graduate student and president of KUs Intercultural and Interfaith Dialogue Association, said focusing on the poor was especially impor- tant during Ramadan. When we are fasting we are understanding the poor people better, he said. Although we have food and water we cannot drink them so we can understand the poor peoples lives. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the backbone of the religion. Almsgiving to the poor is another pillar. We do this for God, he said. Just for God, not any other peo- ple. He said that giving to the poor was to satisfy God, and to help attain self-purification.

Barack Obama likes to say, We cant aford to give John McCain the chance to serve out George Bushs third term.Bushs third termhas become a favorite attack line for Democrats, one repeated almost daily by the candidate and his surrogates. They argue that McCain favors failed Bush administration economic policies and would keep U.S. troops in Iraq for the foreseeable future.

During lunch, McGonigle said that Moore spoke on issues at the University and issues that were going on within the elec- tions and Washington. Mason Heilman, Lawrence junior and Student Senate Executive Committee chairman, said that Moore also spoke about daily life at lunch. It was a great way for us to get to know the person rep- resenting us in Washington, Heilman said. Andrew Toth, Colby sopho- more and KU Young Democrats president, said Moore was great with the students and was good at answering one-on-one impromptu questions from the students. This is great for students who want to know what govern- ment officials know about, Toth said. Moore wasnt all business on Friday, and occasionally joked with the student audience. Whats that funny looking bird? the 62-year-old congress- man asked students, pointing to a Jayhawk. He soon began laughing. After Moore met with KU Young Democrats on Wescoe Beach, he attended a rally at the Kansas Union, where Students for Moore and members of KU Young Democrats met him to ask questions. Students asked an array of questions, with topics ranging from global warming and the situation in Iraq to lowering costs of education. What were doing is taking our national charge card and charging everything to it that we want, Moore said to students. And you know what? Were making you guys pay for it. Moore will be running against Nick Jordan of Shawnee in the upcoming election. KU Young Democrats will be on Wescoe Beach this week registering students to vote and providing information on the upcoming elections. The group will move to the Kansas Union if it rains.

K A N S A N Available Every Thursday NEWS 4A Monday, septeMber 08, 2008 BY SACHIKO MIYAKAWA smiyakawa@kansan.com Undarmaa Pirenlei writes down verses immediately whenever they come to mind. Her poems emerge from her encounters with people, the events of everyday life and her emotions. But Pirenleis poems capture something else: her inner struggle of her new life in the U.S. Pirenlei came to the U.S. from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, in 2002. She was a high school exchange student in Phenix City, Ala. She enrolled at Johnson County Community College right after the exchange program. She transferred to the University in 2007 and is a senior this semes- ter. She is one of five Mongolian international students at the University. In one poem, Soliorol, which means madness in Mongolian, Pirenlei expressed her trials with life in a new country. I was a talkative girl in Mongolia, Pirenlei said. I felt like I was a little baby here. When I tried to say something, people sometimes didnt understand me. She said writing poems allowed her to release emotion. Stephanie Russel, graduate teaching assistant in Humanities and Western Civilization, said Pirenlei brought a different per- spective to class discussions, talk- ing about her experience overseas. Shes a very articulate woman with a great perspective, said Russel, who taught Pirenlei in spring 2008. She said Pirenleis emphasis on community sometimes shocked her students who took individual- ism for granted. Pirenlei said she has faced fewer problems as her English improved. However, she said peoples lack of understanding about Mongolia sometimes bothered her. She said one of her instructors at JCCC laughed at her name. Also, she said some Americans thought all Mongolians were nomadic and barbaric. I cannot ride a horse. Im from a city, Pirenlei said. Some people just dont get what other people are like and live outside of their world. Pirenlei has returned to Mongolia twice since 2002. She said she experienced counter-cul- ture shock when she went back to Mongolia last winter. She saw many poor people living in her city. She said she felt guilty at her comfortable life in the U.S. The trip made her determined to even- tually pursue a government job in Mongolia and improve lives of the poor. Ider-Od Bat-Erdene, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, junior and Pirenleis friend at the University, said she had a strong sense of justice. He said he always enjoyed discussing everything from politics to things happening at the University with her. He said she had strong opinions, which Pirenlei said was different than girls in Mongolia. There, she said, girls cared more about harmony than causing trou- ble by being opinionated. Pirenlei is majoring in politi- cal science and economics at the University. She said she planned to attend graduate school. Pirenlei said an American col- lege degree would bring her to better job opportunities when she returned to Mongolia, which she plans to do after graduate school. Coming to the U.S. helped her prepare for a life on her own after school. She said in her hometown of Ulaanbaatar, capital city of Mongolia, many college students lived with their parents. Living away from her parents in another country prepared her to be a more independent person, she said. Shes younger than me, but she seems more mature, said Meng Li, Shijiazhuang, China, graduate stu- dent and Pirenleis roommate. Li said she always enjoyed Pirenleis quick humor and said she always made her feel better when she didnt do well in school. Pirenlei said she made herself feel better by writing. She has writ- ten more than 150 poems; many of them are about her home. She said it was difficult for her not to be able to go back home and spend time with her family when- ever she wanted to. She felt that way particularly when her grand- father passed away. Some of her poems appeared in an American Mongolian news- paper in Columbia, Mo. One of her friends recommended she show her poems to a publisher in Mongolia. Her collective work was published as one book in Mongolia in 2006. The book took the name of her poem, Soliorol. People who live away from their home will like my poems, Pirenlei said.

ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK The govern- ment's historic bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Sunday will be good news to homebuyers and some homeowners hoping to refinance if it leads to lower mort- gage rates, as experts expect. But for homeowners already behind on their mortgage pay- ments, or who owe more than their homes are now worth, the plan unveiled Sunday by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson offers little in the way of extra relief. "The bailout will give the mort- gage industry a stability that we haven't had in a couple of years," said Rich Cosner, president of Prudential California Realty. "But frankly no, it won't help [struggling borrowers] to refinance." Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac play a critical and increas- ingly dominant role in the mort- gage market. The companies buy mortgage loans from banks and package those loans into securi- ties that they either hold or sell to U.S. and foreign investors. That allows traditional lenders like Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Washington Mutual to make more loans. Together, Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee about $5 tril- lion in home loans, about half the nation's total. But an alarm- ing number of those loans started going into default, draining the companies' financial reserves and sending a chill through credit mar- kets worldwide. As investors grew more skittish, borrowing costs started rising. By placing Fannie and Freddie into a conservatorship, the govern- ment is promising investors that the companies' debt is as safe as the Treasury Department's. While not a cure-all, the bailout is still a step in the right direc- tion, industry observers say. It will at least "keep the lanes in the mortgage freeway open," said Greg McBride, a senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com, possibly putting the market on the road to recov- ery. If mortgage rates fall, that will attract more potential buyers into the market, which, in turn, will help to prop up home prices, he said. He expects mortgage rates on a conventional, 30-year fixed-rate home loan to fall over the next few weeks as the dust settles on the bailout. Rates, which now average 6.35 percent, could fall as much as half a percentage point, he said. But continued investor wariness and a depreciating housing market will keep rates from dropping further. Government officials declined to speculate on how much mort- gage rates would be affected, but said they hoped government con- trol would allow the companies to focus on their mission of support- ing the housing market. Experts expect Fannie, Freddie bailout to help, to an extent natIOnaL AssociAted Press KEY WEST, Fla. - With power- ful Hurricane Ike on an uncertain course toward the Gulf of Mexico, many on these low-lying islands took a wait-and-see approach to evacuation orders Sunday, per- haps a harbinger of the attitudes to come from Louisiana and Texas residents returning from an ardu- ous evacuation and already show- ing signs of hurricane fatigue. Forecasts show Ike crossing Cuba and skirting Key West by Tuesday on a trek to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, slowly strengthening to perhaps Category 3 strength on its way to a land- fall late in the week somewhere between the Florida Panhandle and the Texas coast. And once again, New Orleans still recovering from the weak- er-than-expected Gustav is squarely in the crosshairs. In Key West, evacuation orders became mandatory Sunday for tourists and the approximately 25,000 residents alike, but traf- fic off the lone highway from the island was steady rather than jammed. Mike Tilson, 24, was preparing to ride Ike out in his houseboat, only planning to evacuate if the storm takes a sudden turn to the north. I got tarps and champagne, he said as he pushed a wheelbarrow of supplies including Heineken beer, ice and a loaf of bread down the dock. Its just a good party. Ill stay. At 5 p.m. Sunday, Ike was a Category 3 hurricane with sus- tained winds near 120 mph, locat- ed about 75 miles northeast of Guantanamo, Cuba, and moving west at 13 mph. It was forecast to track over Cuba, re-emerging over the islands western coast Tuesday morning about 100 miles south of Key West as a Category 1. Ike was a dangerous Category 4 hurricane packing 135-mph winds earlier, but the National Hurricane Center in Miami said it had weak- ened a little in recent hours. President Bush declared a state of emergency for Florida because of Ike on Sunday and ordered fed- eral money to supplement state and local response efforts. Key West Mayor Morgan McPherson said 15,000 tourists had already evacuated the region, and the Key West airport was set to close at 7 p.m. Sunday. McPherson warned that any- one who thinks staying through a major hurricane is champagne time hasnt thought it through clearly. He said emergency vehicles would be pulled off the road if the area gets tropical storm force winds. Still, many residents of the nations most southernmost city said they wanted to see what the storm does over Cuba and possibly reassess on Monday. news 5A monday, september 8, 2008 928 Massachusetts 843-0611 www.theetcshop.com By Micole Aronowitz editor@kansan.com The Center for Community Outreach is extending its reach all the way to the Philippines. The University organization, which is a nonprofit, student vol- unteer organization, is raising awareness and funds to support the building of a school to help impoverished children living on a dump site in the Tondo region of the Southeast Asian nation. This is the first time the CCO, which generally provides service within the Lawrence community, has helped with an overseas pro- gram. Co-directors Ali Zeigler, Manila, Philippines, junior, and Mandy Shriwise, Overland Park senior, have identified their first goal. We want the organization to be responsible for a biology class- room, Zeigler said. We want them to receive the same caliber of edu- cation as in the U.S. Zeigler and Shriwise are try- ing to raise between $5,000 and $12,000 for the project. Although the CCO is involved in several local programs, the stu- dents said they wanted its grasp to be global. We are looking to broaden stu- dents view of community in the midst of globalization, Shriwise said. We need to be aware of other places, not just Lawrence, that exist and have need. Both Zeigler and Shriwise trav- eled to the Philippines in July and spent a day at the site. They said they saw school-aged children walking around barefoot. The chil- dren were working instead of going to school. They said the site was a stark contrast to the nicer, much wealthi- er part of town, which was a 5-min- ute drive away. They said what they saw inspired them and they brought their efforts home. There was a community of sev- eral thousand people living on this dump site, making their living off of it, Zeigler said. The poorest of the poor make 60 cents a day. The Philippine Community Fund, founded by British woman Jane Walker, is the main source of funding for the school. The non- profit organization receives dona- tions from private donors and philanthropic organizations. A goal of the organization is to educate the children living in the Tondo region. The construction of the school will begin this fall and continue throughout the school year. There are incentives given to the children that attend school, Zeigler said. The child is fed two meals a day at school. If they attend school everyday for a week they will be able to bring home a few kilos of rice and some canned goods. Student involvement is crucial for the continued construction of the school. Though the specifics of fund raising are not yet final- ized, ideas the CCO have include a letter-writing campaign, monetary donations and benefit concerts. Edited by Ramsey Cox By devin lowell editor@kansan.com A deal with a local hospital has given a second life to a research project that could change the way scientists view radio waves. Students working on research with the KU physics department recently received permission from Lawrence Memorial Hospital to use its magnetic resonance imag- ing machine, or MRI, to conduct their experiments. The students are researching the effects of strong magnetic fields on radio waves as those waves pass through ice, similar to what may be happening at the Earths poles. Originally, the experiment was going to be conducted using a particle detector in Ithaca, N.Y., but that would have been too costly. Using the hospitals MRI allows the researchers to perform the experi- ment repeately. The outcome of this experi- ment could have consequences for prior research conducted in Antarctica, which began in 1995. When cosmic rays pass through the Earths atmosphere and strike the ice at the poles, they release radio waves. A strong magnetic field like the Earths could distort these radio waves. The Antarctic experiments have been measur- ing the waves assuming there is no such distortion. Ryan Keast, Olathe junior, who wrote the research proposal, said the experiment used a stronger magnetic field to compensate for the shorter distance the radio waves traveled compared with those in Antarctica. Keast won an undergraduate research award for his proposal. David Besson, professor of physics, compares the measuring devices the experiment uses to rabbit-ears on old televisions. Our rabbit ears are adjusted in a particular orientation, Besson said. If the waves are rotating, we have to reorient the rabbit-ears. The students experiments have also suffered other setbacks. During the summer, the freezer in Malott Hall that had been stor- ing the nonmagnetic icebox used in the experiment broke. Until it could be repaired, the students stored the apparatus at Checkers grocery. While in the freezer, the box was accidentally crushed. Since then, the researchers built a new box, and the experiments continue.

The software giants new ad star- ring Jerry Seinfeld has drawn largely negative reviews online after premier- ing Thursday night during NBCs broadcast of the National Football Leagues season kickoff game. The ad was the start of a highly anticipated $300 million advertising campaign that Microsoft is launch- ing in attempt to rebuff Apples popular TV commercials, which have portrayed Microsoft and PCs as uncool. In the commercial which can be found at Microsoft.com and on video sharing sites Seinfeld is walking through a mall when he spots Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates at a Shoe Circus store. The come- dian then helps Gates pick out a new pair of shoes while the jokes come quick: showering with clothes on, Gates being a 10, platinum credit cards for a fictional shoe store. Its a zany ad that packs a lot of quirkiness into 90 seconds. With no direct mention of Microsoft or its operating system, Vista, the com- mercial concludes with the slogan: The future, delicious. The ad was created by Crispin Porter & Bogusky a firm with a reputation for oddness. Many tech- nology and advertising blogs have turned to Seinfelds trademark com- edy description nothing to describe the ad. Huh? wrote Abbey Klaassen for Ad Age. You could be for- given for not knowing what the heck Microsofts new TV ad ... was about. Dan Frommer, writing for the Silicon Alley Insider, pronounced the ad not funny and added that the mall shoe store setting is not going to help Microsoft look any cooler. For the blog Techcrunch.com, Michael Arrington noted that the tech and geek crowd is a little underwhelmed by the ad, which he said is a far cry from the brilliant Microsoft v. Mac ads. Brad Brooks, vice president of Windows consumer product mar- keting, said in a video posted on the Windows press Web site, that the ad is a teaser meant to engage customers in a conversation ... to get the conversation going again about what Windows means in peoples everyday lives. Even if the reaction was mostly negative, Microsofts ad has clearly succeeded in getting people talking.

The ad also featured Bill Gates. sex on the Hill 2008 DAILY KANSAN THE UNIVERSITY Fridays WHAT THEY SAY: The (Toledo, Ohio) Blade: No sooner had the echoes stilled from Sen. Barack Obama's stirring acceptance speech in Denver than Sen. John McCain made a bold move. He picked as his running mate Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, who was not much known outside her home state and represents a maverick's gamble if ever there was one. There's nothing in her paper- thin resume to suggest she knows anything about foreign affairs, which Republicans have insisted was essential, and the issues that matter to America's great urban centers, given that Alaska is not typical of the rest of the country. Still, there's no denying her appeal. A mother of five and staunchly anti-abortion, she will bring Christian conservatives into the McCain camp. Whether her right-wing views will attract white working-class women who supported Hillary Clinton is debatable. In her introductory speech, she explic- itly said: "The women of America aren't finished yet." On the issues, there is much to dislike about Sarah Palin and other Clinton, not to mention Obama, supporters will be the first to point that out. But her candidacy is exciting. The Manhattan Mercury: Give Sen. John McCain his due. Hes not afraid to take chances. He took a big one while injecting yet more history in this presidential campaign Friday in naming Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. Rather than decide immedi- ately whether shes a great pick or something else, we suggest voters of both parties learn about her, give her a chance. Certain she deserves more of a chance than Bill Burton, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, was willing to give her on Friday. Sen. McCain hasnt done that. If she ends up a heartbeat away from the presidency, it will be because voters in November think highly enough of Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin to elect them. That said, were not suggesting that voters blindly buy into the Republican superlatives about Gov. Palin, who is the GOPs first female vice presidential nominee. Yes, she might siphon off some of the women who had supported Sen. Hillary Clinton and are try- ing to warm up to Sen. Obama. Gov. Palin seems more than will- ing to shatter the glass ceiling that she says was weakened by the 18 million cracks Sen. Clintons candidacy left in it. Gov. Palin, not unlike Sen. Obama, is something of a mys- tery. Thats fine. To her credit, she has been willing to take on the political establishment, includ- ing members of her own party in Alaska. And she seems to be something of the maverick that Sen. McCain was until he began running for president. If Sen. McCain chose her out of weakness, that will become apparent soon enough. And if he chose her because of her strengths, our country might be the stronger for it. You like your politics like you like your sex brief, apathetic and impersonal. However, just like that pretty-little-bad-decision who sits next to you in English comp, the presidential campaigns will soon be leaving you emotionally over- wrought messages and demanding commitment. But, unlike that smokin-hot- unwanted-pregnancy you met in the stacks, you cant just keep tak- ing circuitous routes around cam- pus to avoid them. Theyre every- where. Look at me, Im a registered Democrat! No, over here, registered Republican! No one cares Im a registered sex offender, but you dont see me bragging about it, putting up signs, or going door to door in the neigh- borhood because the state requires me to. Nevertheless, this is America: You have a civic duty to cast a futile and uninformed vote for either the candidate who will continue moving the country down its same doomed path or the candidate who will have the audacity of hope nec- essary to take our country into new and exciting areas of doom. First, theres Democratic nominee Barack Obama. His campaign symbol is a giant O cresting the flag, like the ever-open eye of some pagan god peering over the horizon and into your soul. The thing is abso- lutely terrifying. I dont know whether to vote for him or offer him my first-born. Obamas wife has even declared that Obama will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual uninvolved, uninformed. The hell he wont. I barely let real God tell me what to do in my day-to-day life, and Obamas offering me free health- care for eternity. Obama doesnt stand a chance. Still, Obama could make his- tory. If elected, that would not only make him the first black man to be president, it would also make him the first Hawaiian to be anything. But Republican nominee John McCain could also make histo- ry, becoming the first 44th white male president. Also, with vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, they could break another barrier. Females have always been able to secretly titter about the attractive- ness of the male candidates. Not anymore. I have a dream that one day men will be able to proudly proclaim: Oh yeah, Id gerrymander her districts any day. Filibuster her Senate floor for 24 hours straight. However, McCain is old: older than sin, or at least those sins that involve moving pictures or the ingestion of scientifically engi- neered chemicals. Hes been a Republican so long his brain is like a time-capsule for bad ideas. The only upside is that its not conceptually possible for him to become any older. Like the Y2K bug, hes bound to roll around to the aught-aughts sometime soon. If youve found this discharge of your political duties painful not to mention abnormally thick dont blame me. Perky-young- venereal-roulette just left you a rather somber voicemail. Reichert is an Oberlin gradu- ate student in law. You're out of luck, buddy. Last Friday, BBC Radio broad- casted a special report highlight- ing Kansas City, Mo., as the least bicycle friendly city in the United States. In the entire city, there are no more than six miles of dedicated bike lanes, which has more high- way miles per person than any- where else in the country except Houston. Travel 40 miles west (by car) and youre back in Lawrence, which has a better reputation with cyclists. The League of American Bicyclists recognized Lawrence as a bronze- level bicycle friendly community in 2004. While driving eastbound along the repaved stretch of 19th Street between Naismith and Massachusetts streets, I noticed the new bike lanes on either side of the road. It was a welcoming sight for avid bikers. This seemed to confirm the citys 10-speed designation. But as I approached the busy intersection of 19th and Louisiana streets, the car lane abruptly cut off the sliver of roadway reserved for cyclists. The bike lane vanished, leaving any biker with little recourse but to quickly merge into traffic or jump the curb and seek refuge on the sidewalk. Who can we blame for such poor planning? According to a six-month-old Lawrence Journal- World article, city commissioners decided that bike lanes could not feasibly be added because of higher costs and more delays. The city seemed to conclude that a shorter stretch of bike lane was better than none at all, but this has created a hazardous complication near an already dangerous inter- section. This illustrates a larger problem in Lawrence. We have an inco- herent system of bike routes and poorly planned paths. When I have attempted to follow these bread crumb trails of green, bicycle-embossed street signs through the city, I often find myself marooned in strange neighbor- hoods and sinister strip malls. The city is certainly making an effort, but it is a haphazard one at best. The more often people choose their bikes over their cars, the bet- ter, but the bicycles benefits are contingent on a well-developed transportation network. Bikes can cause traffic conges- tion, lead to injuries and get in the way of pedestrians. A half-baked system creates more problems than it solves.

The answer: They are. Taxpayers are footing a large share of the bill for the conventions, and they shouldn't have to. To begin with, each conven- tion will get more than $16 million in federal money to help pay for convention operations. To make mat- ters worse, Congress voted to appropriate $50 million in Homeland Security funds to pay for security. There's really no reason for this expense when mon- ey is tight and the federal government operates at a tremendous defcit. The conventions are no longer a decision-making part of the election process. Nominees have long been set. The conventions have become nothing more than political theater. They are scripted campaign com- mercials on free network television time. While the federal government is operating in the red, the campaigns are awash in revenue. Both presidential campaigns are raising tens of millions of dollars each month. They and their parties should pay for their conventions. The (Lakeland, Fla.)

ASSOCiATED pRESS NEWS 8A MONday, SEPTEMBER 8, 2008 BY RYAN McGEENEY rmcgeeney@kansan.com Three weeks into the semester, it can be hard to find a place in Lawrence removed from the ele- vated noise levels that come with the swell of KU students. But on the edge of Pendletons Country Market, four miles east of Lawrence, Bobby Sauder and Rolf Petermann tear sweet potatoes from the earth by hand. The only sound interrupting the ambient back- ground of insects is the occasional pickup truck driving by on its way to pick up fresh produce. Pendletons Country Market is one of at least a half-dozen local farms that regularly interact with the Lawrence community through the Lawrence Farmers Market. The market, established in 1976, is open Saturday mornings at 8th and New Hampshire streets and Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 10th and Vermont streets. Joanna Voigt, assistant to the Market Coordinator, said it regularly featured between 60 and 70 ven- dors. Students have become more involved in the market as it grows. Jennifer Kongs, Topeka senior, began working at a market retail booth for Hoyland Farm in 2007, at first accepting free produce as payment. Ive been really interested in sustainable agriculture and the idea of local food economies for a couple of years now, said Kongs. After studying it in school, I decided that I wanted to be a part of it. I decided the best way to do that was to get experience growing food. John Pendleton, who runs the land his father purchased and began farming in the 1950s, said he had never imagined that the market would come to compete for his familys primary source of reve- nue. The Saturday morning market is a phenomenon that is just abso- lutely unbelievable, said Pendleton, who planted his first half-acre of asparagus in 1980. As the agricul- ture crisis of the 1980s caused his farm to shift away from livestock operations, Pendleton began rais- ing other vegetables and flowers for direct sale at local markets. I actually thought, 10, 15 years ago, that we would have graduated away from the farmers market by now, said Pendleton. But every year, the desire for people to go to a farmers market has just exponen- tially increased. Pendleton employs the two stu- dents to help with his farming, and both are interested in sustainable practices. Petermann, Lawrence senior, said he became involved with organic farming as a result of his architectural studies. Youre growing all kinds of food that you need to survive in ways that can cut down on reliance on natural resources, Petermann said. Thats how I got interested in working out here. Sauder, a 2007 graduate, said he found his work, picking vegetables on the 35-acre farm, the perfect foundation for his post-graduate life. Im a musician, actually, said Sauder. Im pursuing music, and this is where Im working while I do that. I didnt want to take on anything too serious. The farmers and other vendors found at the market enjoy a posi- tion in the Lawrence community similar to many businesses in the area, serving KU students as both employer and retailer. Aspects of small-scale farming like organic methods and limited transportation distances are often- voiced concerns of regular patrons of the market. Brandon Stone, a Camdenton, Mo., graduate stu- dent, mentioned Eva, his one-year- old daughter, as one motivating factor. With our daughter, we want her to be eating pesticide-free, and as local as possible, said Stone. For example, tomatoes they travel I dont know how far from Mexico just to get to the grocery stores. Its so much better just to get a local tomato. It tastes better, and its better for you.

The farm, located four miles east of Lawrence, is one of many local vendors to supply the Farmers Market. Cairo residents angry over lack of aid ASSOcIATED PRESS CAIRO, Egypt Hopes dimin- ished Sunday for finding survi- vors among hundreds of people believed trapped beneath massive boulders that destroyed an impov- erished neighborhood on Cairo's outskirts, killing at least 32 people, including whole extended families. Anger and resentment mounted as authorities failed for a second day to get heavy machinery into the devastated shantytown to try to clear the large slabs that split away from the Muqattam cliffs early Saturday. Survivors among the 100,000 residents of the Dewika slum were also left to spend the night without shelter, despite gov- ernment promises to provide it. "The area turned into a mass grave," one bearded man shouted, while a tearful young woman in a black robe clutched a picture of a newlywed couple whose bodies remained trapped below. Hundreds of anti-riot police in helmets and shields cordoned off the area to prevent journalists and residents from approaching the site. Only young residents who have been involved in the rescue efforts were allowed to get close. "In America, rescue workers would hurry to save a cat. Here, hundreds of human beings are bur- ied under the rocks and nobody seems to care," said a taxi driver who was helping with the rescue but refused to give his name. Many residents who spoke to a reporter refused to give their names, saying they felt intimidat- ed and threatened by the security forces in the area. Rabie Ragab, whose house over- looks the boulders, accused the government of trying to deceive the public. "The minister of hous- ing told the media that no one would sleep in the street. You can see that we all slept in the streets." Alleys leading up to the demol- ished houses were packed with women weeping and wailing while calling out names of their loved ones. One young man with a dusty face burst into tears and lay on the ground after losing his whole family. State television reported that another body was pulled from the rubble Sunday, bringing the death toll to 32. A security official said 46 people were treated at hospi- tals, but that many other people remained buried. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press. The densely populated shanty- town, part of a sprawling slum known as Manshiyet Nasr, is sand- wiched between unstable cliffs and an unused railroad track that has made it difficult to get heavy recovery machinery into the area. More than 24 hours after the inci- dent, rescue operations were still being carried out largely by hand and by residents. Army personnel and Civil Defense workers managed to cut into the railway track and demolish several houses to clear the way for bulldozers. Aboul-Ela Amin Mohammed, the head of the earthquake depart- ment at the National Research Institute for Astronomy and Geophysics, said the entire plateau is in danger of further collapse. "It is not the first time or the last time," he told The Associated Press. "The area is full of densely packed informal housing with no central sewer system. ... When the sewage touches the fragile surface of the limestone it changes its con- sistency into a flour-like paste." Similar disasters happened in 1994 and 2002. Despite the obvious danger and residents' pleas to the local coun- cil to provide safer housing, little action was taken, said Mustafa Mahmoud Sayyed, a five-year resi- dent of the slum. Like much of the housing, Sayyed said his one-floor house of bricks with a wood ceiling was built illegally near the cliff edge made possible by a bribe to the city council's engineer. Hundreds of new government- provided apartments have been built just a 10-minute walk from the slums, but residents say only 5 percent is occupied because few can afford the necessary bribes. Haidar Baghdadi, the parlia- mentary representative of the area, told AP that 388 apartments from this complex would be made avail- able within 48 hours to those who lost their homes. wOrLd ASSOCIATED PRESS Local residents, police and fremen searching for survivors try to clear away rubble with their bare hands and basic tools. The rock slide occurred in the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, on Saturday. @ n See the slide show at kansan.com/galleries BY B.J. RAINS rains@kansan.com If someone had told Angus Quigley before the season that he would lead the team in rushing in each of its first two games, the 6-foot-2 junior running back wouldnt have believed it. With Jake Sharp and junior college transfer Jocques Crawford primed to split the carries, Quigley seemed destined for special-teams duty. But after his 47-yard performance against Florida International last week, and his career-high 84 yards during the Jayhawks 29-0 victory against Louisiana Tech on Saturday, its Quigley not Sharp or Crawford who has led the team in rushing in each of the first two games. I probably would have chuckled at that one, Quigley said of the preseason pre- diction. I would have laughed or smiled and said, Yeah, Im going to lead the team in rushing from the special teams sure, ok. Its just a privilege to even get in the game these first two games. I just went in and kept my feet moving and played the way I know how to play. While Quigley provided the spark on the ground, it was quarterback Todd Reesing who contributed through the air. The 5-foot-11 gunslinger passed for a career-high of 412 yards, the third-best single-game total in school history. After completing 37 of 52 passes against FIU in week one, Reesing completed 32 of 38 passes against Louisiana Tech and again had three touchdowns. A large portion of Reesings yards came after the catch, including all but five of Dezmon Briscoes 48-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter. Briscoe, who had seven catches for 146 yards, caught a short pass from Reesing and broke six different tackles before falling into the end zone. When the replay was shown on the video board, the students that had braved the cold, rainy conditions counted out each of the six missed Louisiana Tech tackles. Thats the ideal pass: when all you have to do is throw it about 10 yards and get a 50-yard completion out of it, Reesing said. It doesnt get much easier than that. When you have guys that can take a short pass and get a lot of yards after it, it makes my job a lot easier.

It doesnt surprise me when we score goals, Francis said about his teams emphatic response to going down early. You dont usually score two in 30 sec- onds. But what that tells me is that when they score a goal, we get mad about it. Weve got to have that mentality when its 0-0. The UAB Blazers looked to have grabbed the momentum when freshman midfielder/forward Laura McCalla beat senior goalkeeper Julie Hanley in the fourth minute, but Kansas wasnt on the back foot for long. Dolinsky answered back from the spot three minutes later when the referee blew the whistle for a UAB handball during the scrum to clear a Kansas corner kick. Clifton followed that with her first goal as a Jayhawk, glancing a pinpoint header inside the back post from a Bush corner kick. Clifton said Kansas had been working on organizing and timing runs in the box during the past week in practice. I knew my run, and I was able to get on the end of it, Clifton said. UAB forced its way back into the game in the 12th minute when sophomore defender Lauren Jackson was called for a penalty kick after over-committing to a tackle just inside the penalty area. But Cressy was there to respond seven minutes later, giving Kansas a lead it wouldnt relinquish. Bush split the Blazers defense, her pass leading the streaking freshman through on goal, and Cressy sent a left-footed blast into the side net- ting. She got her second six minutes after halftime when Dolinsky sent a ball over the top of the defense. Cressy fought her way onto the end of it, and recorded her team-leading fourth goal. Not to be outdone, Clifton secured her brace in the 66th minute when junior forward Shannon McCabe spotted her diagonal run. McCabe chipped the ball into space where Clifton deftly finished, leaving the goalkeeper and defender in a heap. Its nice to be able to finally contribute to the team, and get my first goals on the board, Clifton said. Francis said he was happy to see Clifton break through and begin building confi- dence after failing to take advantage of her previous chances. As a forward the longer the season goes on without scoring, the more pres- sure you feel, Francis said. Kansas picKs up fourth victory in Dallas Forty-eight hours after disposing of UAB, Kansas overcame SMU 1-0 in Dallas behind freshman forward Kortney Cliftons third goal of the weekend. The Jayhawks lost to coach Mark Francis alma mater 2-0 in Lawrence last season, but a moment of brilliance from junior midfielder Monica Dolinsky and Clifton sent them to their fourth win in as many games. Kansas scored the games lone goal in the 26th minute when Dolinsky weaved through the Mustang defense along the byline, eventually finding Clifton at the near post. The Jayhawks are 4-0 for the first time since 2004 when they started the season with six consecutive victories. Apart from the goal, Francis said he was disappointed with his teams sloppi- ness with the ball and defensive focus for most of the first half. Still, he said Kansas is starting to show it can win ugly when things arent flowing on either side of the ball. Both sides combatted temperatures in the high 80s, and Francis said the bench was key to nabbing a second victory this weekend. Twenty players saw action against SMU, none less than 13 minutes. I think our bench did a great job coming in and giving us some energy, Francis said.

McCabe had two shots with one assist in Kansas' 5-2 victory Friday evening. BY StEphEN MoNtEMAYoR smontemayor@kansan.com Marching to victory suprise star leads ofense Maybe I was wrong. Maybe Kansas can continue to have a dismal rushing attack and still be bailed out by Todd Reesing and his stellar receiving corps. Either way, Kansas put on an electrify- ing performance on both sides of the ball Saturday en route to proving capable of notching 10 wins and perhaps another BCS bowl berth. Kansas 29, Louisiana Tech 0. Should Kansas reach an unprecedented second consecutive BCS bowl, the team they will meet is 2008s college football Cinderella: the Eastern Carolina Pirates. This years version of last years Jayhawks if you will. Eastern Carolina knocked off its second BCS and Top 25 team in as many weeks after its 24-3 rout over No. 8 West Virginia. Now no team stands in the way of Eastern Carolina that is the caliber of a Virginia Tech or West Virginia. There is no reason to suspect the Pirates wont win out this year and finish as one of or the only undefeated teams in the country. And a la the 2006 Boise State squad that went unbeaten and crashed the BCS party with their epic Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma, an undefeated Pirate squad will be relegated to one of the four other BCS bowls rather than the championship tilt. Conference USA Champs arent the cre- dentials necessary for an Eastern Carolina BCS title run. But it was a Big 12 team that met Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl two seasons past and should the Jayhawks collide with Eastern Carolina in a BCS bowl, prepare to be short of breath for it will steal the show and prove to be the top bowl of the 2008-2009 season. The Pirates are the 2007 Jayhawks but not the Kansas of 2008. No, this years Kansas is better than the team that shocked the world one season ago. And with a legit running game there would be few mirrors for this squad. No matter, Reesing played better than he ever has, completing 32-of-38 passes for 412 yards and another trio of scores to usual suspects. Dezmon Briscoe had a stellar 48-yard score after breaking six tackles, and Daymond Patterson continued his bid to be our states diminutive answer to Mizzous Jeremy Maclin. Im not break- ing any news here when I reiterate that in his first start at receiver, Patterson had eight grabs for 130 yards and two impres- sive scores. Odds are youve become well acquainted with his highlights. Tack those on to last weeks 75-yard punt return score and Kansas has a legit breakaway threat. Jake Sharp and Jocques Crawford once again were thoroughly disappointing with just 14 carries and 41 yards combined. My One-Three Punch theory should be shelved for the time being as Angus Quigley continued to pick up the twos slack on the ground although paydirt still eludes him. You couldnt ask for more from Kansas defensive unit. A shutout is as good as it gets. There is nothing to complain about here. Maybe save for that nearly nine min- ute drive they surrendered to the Bulldogs. But that drive ended in a Chris Harris interception and was succeeded by a scoring drive less than half as long as the Bulldogs attempt. Big play turnovers will be needed in the games ahead, as will quick scoring drives. Before kickoff in Lawrence, Pirates run- ning back Jonathan Williams and signal caller Patrick Pinkney were well on their way to securing a second straight shocker. Pinkney, darting around the field and compiling near-perfect passing stats, looked like Eli Manning during the New York Giants Super Bowl run last winter. Williams tore through any and all tacklers, throwing video-game moves that should leave the Jayhawks ground game green with envy. This week Eastern Carolina is ranked No. 14 in the Associated Press Poll and No. 20 in the USA Today/Coaches Poll. This is no ordinary year for the Pirates and Kansas could tell them all about see MonteMayor on paGe 4b coMMentary Pirates are this years Cinderella Jon Goering/kansan Junior quarterback todd Reesing throws a pass during the game against Louisiana Tech Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

You guys are officially students, and we here at the Morning Brew hope the first day went well. Markieff, hope you remembered to leave the airsoft gun in your dorm room. The Morris twins started class on Friday, just more than two weeks after the first day. Skeptics might think the University is acting unfairly by letting them start so late, but thats not the case. This year, the last day a student can enroll is Sept. 18. The late start isnt ideal, but the twins have someone they can call for advice. The first Brandon Rush sight- ing came on Aug. 14, 2005. People saw him at parties and around the Jayhawker Towers during the next two days as he made his first official visit in Lawrence. School started on the 18th that year. Rush didnt make the first day of class. He thought about Indiana and Illinois for the next two weeks. When he finally picked Kansas, it was Aug. 27. But he still didnt start class. The pesky NCAA Clearinghouse, which the twins know plenty about, had work to do. You see, Rush liked to travel in his high school days. He just couldnt quite find a high school that worked for him. He started at Hogan sports 2B monday, september 8, 2008 quote of the day trivia of the day fact of the day Kansas is an outstand- ing football team, and when you play an out- standing football team you better take advantage of any opportunities that you get. We had a couple of opportunities early to put some points on the board and we didnt do it. When you dont take advantage of opportunities against a good football team then it is going to be a long night.

KICK THE KANSAN WEEK TWo RESulTS College BasketBall NCAA desegregation leader dies Sunday EL PASO, Texas Don Haskins, credited with helping break color barriers in college sports in 1966 when he used fve black starters to win a national basketball title for Texas Western, died Sunday. He was 78. Texas-El Paso spokesman Jef Darby said the Hall of Fame coach died Sunday afternoon. He had no other details. UTEP was previ- ously known as Texas Western. Haskins was an old-time coach who believed in hard work and was known for his gruf demean- or. That attitude was portrayed in the 2006 movie Glory Road, the flm chronicled Haskins improb- able rise to national fame. The Associated Press Prep, then moved to Kansas City Career Academy, which promptly went bankrupt. Next came Westport High School and then finally, Mt. Zion Christian Academy. Rush spent a total of five years at four high schools, a transcript nightmare. The Clearinghouse got it done, and finally, Rush was deemed eligible on Sept. 2. But he still didnt start class. Sept. 2 was a Friday, the Friday before Labor Day in fact. Rush first stepped in a KU classroom the next Tuesday, on Sept. 6. That means Rush missed nearly three weeks of classes, plenty more than the Morris twins have missed. Rush was enrolled in 15 hours that semester and finished with a 3.6 GPA. Not bad. He probably didnt take Organic Chemistry or Roman Military History, and the twins wont either. And to be eligible in the spring, all they have to do is pass six hours. DucK siGhtinG Bet the KU basketball team would never do this. They often order in and stay away from public restaurants on the road. On Thursday night, the Oregon volleyball team ate at Buffalo Wild Wings on Mass. Street. They came in their green and yellow warm ups and got a few cheers and compli- ments from the other customers at the restaurant. My only question is this: Is it really that smart to eat spicy chicken wings the day before competition? Hey, it must work. Oregon is ranked No. 13 in the country, and the Ducks swept the Jayhawks on Friday. Edited by Ramsey Cox D.C. Interns KU Interns at Capitol D.C.

With his team trailing 20-0 in the third quarter, Livas broke for daylight, sprinting down the left side of the field without a single Kansas defender between him and a sure touchdown. Darrell Stuckey didnt see it that way. The junior safety was on the opposite side of the field. Livas was already past him at full speed and at that point a touchdown wouldnt have damaged Kansas stranglehold on the game. None of that mattered to Stuckey, who put his head down and sprinted at an angle. He hoped there was enough yard- age between Livas and the end zone for himto catchup. He hopedthat he could channel the 4.4 speed that he displayed in off-season workouts. Stuckey hoped that he could make a touchdown-saving tackle, that he could be the hero and help his team preserve its shutout something the entire unit so des- perately wanted. That play, it was amazing, said Stuckey. I thank God that he really used me to speed up and never give up. Stuckey caught Livas and wres- tled himdown at the two-yard line, but thats not where it ended. On first and goal, Stuckey sprinted to the ball and planted running back Patrick Jackson four yards behind the line of scrimmage. On third down, Stuckey pres- sured quarterback Taylor Bennett and forced an incompletion. Bulldog kicker Brad Oestriecher, who hit a 60-yarder before the game, came in on fourth down and doinked his 23-yard attempt off the right goal post. The Jayhawks took over and marched down the field, adding a field goal to their already bounti- ful lead. Coach Mark Mangino pointed to Stuckeys hustle play as an exam- ple of how to play defense. The gutsiest play in the game of football is when a player is out in the open running for a touch- down, and youre the only guy who can make the play, Mangino said. You have everything going against you, yet you go down and make the play. The whole complexion of the game is completely changed in our favor because Darrell Stuckey chose to hustle. Senior captain Joe Mortensen echoed Manginos take on the play. That was the momentum-chang- er in the game and its a good hall- mark play of our defense, he said. Stuckey laughed at a reporters assessment of Livas as pretty fast. I dont know if pretty is the word. He was very fast, he said. The play that seemed impossible when he sprinted after the high school sprinter became real when Livas looked back and realized he could be caught. It was just one example of the Jayhawk defense giving up a big play Livas gained 78 yards on the run but stopping the Bulldogs when it mattered most. Theres a popular term to describe such a defense, but dont tell that to Mangino. I dont go for that bend and dont break stuff. Thats ridiculous, he said. If your defense is bending, its going to shatter someday, and thats not how we play here. Kansas defense held on for the shutout, the second of the Mangino-era. Its the only Big 12 teamthis season that hasnt surren- dered an offensive touchdown. Still, not everything went according to plan for the Jayhawk defense. Stuckeys roommate, senior cor- ner back Kendrick Harper, had to be carted off the sideline with an undisclosed injury. Mangino said his replacement, freshman Isiah Barfield, suffered through some mental lapses but eventually settled into the role. The defense also allowed Louisiana Tech to march down the field on a 22-play, 82-yard drive before Chris Harris intercepted a pass in the end zone. Harris caught the ball after Stuckey stuck his hand in the way of the pass and tipped the ball away. Stuckeys overall game was stel- lar. He helped with the interception and led the team with 10 tackles. Finally, of course, there was that one play. Its hard to put any more empha- sis on Stuckeys third quarter hustle play than Mangino did in credit- ing it as complexion -hanging, but Stuckey gave it a shot. I think that play alone defines me as a person and how willing I was to throw everything out there for our team, he said. However, even with an all- important and persona-defining play, theres room for improve- ment. If I wasnt so tired, Stuckey said, I think I would have tried to make him fumble. Edited by AdamMowder It was over when Dezmon Briscoe caught a five- yard pass and broke six tackles to turn it into a 48-yard touch- down. During the replay on the big screen, Jayhawk fans brave enough to stick through the driz- zling weather counted each one of Briscoes victims. Briscoe finished the night with seven catches for a career-high 146 yards and that one score. The touchdown put Kansas up 20-0 with 10 minutes to play in the third quarter. Player to remember Daymond Patterson. In his first start at wide receiver, the freshman electrified Memorial Stadium even more than he did with last weeks 75-yard punt return touchdown. Patterson caught eight passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns. The first one was a three-yard lob to the back corner from Reesing in the second quarter, and the second was a five-yard crossing route in the third quarter that Patterson turned into a 39-yard score. The Bulldog defense gave him a crease and Patterson streaked through it, leaving a trail of smoke behind him. Player to forget Louisiana Techs Patrick Jackson. Kansas defense completely shut down the running back, allow- ing only 19 yards on 13 carries. Jackson, a dual threat as a runner and catcher, accumulated only 31 all-purpose yards all night. CoaChes Corner I dont go for that bend and dont break stuff. Thats ridiculous. I hear that all the time, people saying, Well this teams defense bends and doesnt break. If your defense is bending, its going to shatter someday, and thats not how we play here. We play good, hard defense and try to keep people out of the end zone. Coach Mark Mangino on the defense stopping the Bulldogs after surrendering big plays Ill tell you what: Ive got the worst seat in the house. Im try- ing to wade through bodies chas- ing him. I can hear the coaches upstairs saying, Hes still on his feet, hes still on his feet, hes still on his feet! Its a touchdown! I could hardly see. Hes weaving in and out of people and theyre blocking my vision so I couldnt tell. Im glad he was in the end zone, though. Coach Mark Manginoon trying towatch Dez- mon Briscoes 48-yard touchdown reception Taylor Bern FRoMThe VieW PRessBoX Not very often does a drive last 22 plays, cover 82 yards, take more than nine minutes off the clock and result in zero points, but such was the case for Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs failed to score on a drive that took almost two-thirds of a quarter when Chris Harris picked off quarterback Taylor Bennetts pass in the end zone mid- way through the second quarter, giving Kansas the ball after a mara- thon Louisiana Tech drive ended with nothing to show for it. I didnt like it because its uncharacteristic of our defense, coach Mark Mangino said of his defense on the long Louisiana Tech drive. I really thought they were out there for a very long time. It shows you the character of those kids. They were tired, but they toughened up and went out there and competed. What could have been seven points for Louisiana Tech resulted in seven points for Kansas when the Jayhawks drove down the field 80 yards in eight plays on the ensu- ing drive capped by a three- yard touchdown catch by freshman Daymond Patterson that made it 10-0. The punt-returning sensation Patterson replaced the injured Dexton Fields in the starting lineup and had eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns. The only dull moment of the night for Kansas came when defen- sive back Kendrick Harper was taken off the field on a stretcher and driven to the hospital after appearing to injure his head or neck as he attempted to make a tackle late in the first quarter. The 5-foot-9 senior left the field under his own power but soon needed medical attention and was attended to for several minutes before being put in an ambulance. I dont know all of the details. Were still working on that, coach Mark Mangino said of Harpers condition after the game. Hes in good care. Hes in good hands. We dont have a whole lot of informa- tion, and we want to talk to his family before stuff is printed all over the Internet. The defensive play of the game came midway through the third quarter with Kansas leading 20-0. Louisiana Techs Phillip Livas took an end-around from his own 20-yard line and broke free for what looked like was going to be an 80-yard touchdown run. But safety Darrell Stuckey, who tipped a ball intercepted by Chris Harris in the end zone earlier in the game, somehow chased down the speedy Livas and knocked him out of bounds at the two-yard line. Stuckey tackled running back Patrick Jackson for a four-yard loss on the next play and then pres- sured quarterback Taylor Bennett on third and goal, causing his pass to go incomplete and forcing a field goal attempt that Bulldog kicker Brad Oestriecher would miss. Its what you always talk about and what you always want to see from your players not ever giv- ing up on a play, no matter how hopeless it looks, said defensive coordinator Clint Bowen. Thats exactly what he did. He continued to run, and he caught the guy and made what turned out to be a play that saved the shutout for us. Edited by AdamMowder unprecedented seasons. The stage is now set for the two teams, both 2-0, to meet early January. Eastern Carolina will win out and Kansas will continue to improve and silence doubters this year. Momentum has propelled the two so far. The Jayhawks are riding a three-game win streak dating back to their Orange Bowl title. The Pirates closed 2007 with a Hawaii Bowl win against a team no stranger to disrupting the BCSs plans either former Fiesta Bowl champs Boise State. Edited by Rachel Burchfeld Gamer (continued from 1B) football notes HarPer UPDaTe Coach Mark Mangino released a statement Sunday evening with an update on senior cornerback Kendrick Harper. As we speak he is being released, Mangino said. He underwent a battery of tests and everything seems to be fne and he feels a lot better. I amglad he is doing well and that is the main thing. We will discuss football stuf when he comes over. Harper was carted of the sidelines and taken away in an ambulance late in the frst quarter. He sufered an appar- ent neck injury while attempt- ing to make a tackle. BIG PLaY DeFeNSe Kansas defense surren- dered only three plays of more than 12 yards on the evening. Quarterback Taylor Bennett escaped the defensive rush for a 14-yard run and also threwa 22-yard pass to Phillip Livas. Livas had the Bulldogs longest play of the game, a 78-yard end-around that ended at the two-yard line. Without that run, the Jayhawk defense allowed only 70 rush- ing yards in the 29-0 victory. KICKIN IT Freshman kicker Jacob Branstetter was cleared aca- demically late in the week and assumed the starting role on Saturday. Branstetter was impressive in warm-ups, hitting fromas far as 46 yards away. In the game he nailed feld goals of 28, 25 and 26 yards, but missed his third extra point attempt. Branstetter should remain the starting kicker ahead of Grady Fowler, but Mangino may still use punter Alonso Rojas for longer feld goals.

The event is at ArborLinks Golf Course (par-72, 7,158 total yards) in Nebraska City, Neb. We have a lot of young players this year, but we will be a better team than we were last season, said coach Kit Grove.

Freshman Ian Anson and redshirt freshman Blake Giroux will make their debut for the Jayhawks. Ian has been playing very well, said Grove. I expect him to be a big contributor this year. The 54-hole event will be held for the frst time since 2005 and Kansas last victory came in 1999, in the tournaments inaugural year. Bryan Wheeler By RALPH D. RUSSO ASSOciAtED PRESS NEW YORK East Carolina cant play the underdog role any- more. After opening the season by upsetting two ranked teams, the Pirates earned themselves a place in the AP Top 25 for the first time in nine years. East Carolina was No. 14 in the media poll released Sunday. Southern California remained No. 1 and Georgia was No. 2. Ohio States sluggish 26-14 victory against Ohio, without star tailback Chris Wells, on Saturday cost the Buckeyes two spots in the rankings. They fell to No. 5 behind No. 3 Oklahoma and No. 4 Florida. The Buckeyes will have a chance to move back up when they visit USC on Saturday. USC received 33 of a possible 65 first-place votes and 1,577 points. Georgia got 23 first-place votes and 1,525 points. Oklahoma (two), Florida (four), Ohio State (one), No. 6 Missouri (one) and No. 7 LSU (one) also received first-place votes. The Buckeyes had 15 first- place votes last week. Texas, Auburn and Wisconsin round out the top 10. East Carolinas latest big win was its third straight against a ranked opponent, dating to last seasons Hawaii Bowl victory against Boise State. I think it went a long way to help build confidence in this team, coach Skip Holtz, the son of Hall Fame coach Lou Holtz, said Sunday during a conference call. Two years ago the main goal the team wanted to accom- plish was to get to a bowl game. Last season, they not only wanted to get to a bowl game, but win one. Now we want to build on that. East Carolina manhandled pre- viously No. 8 West Virginia 24-3 Saturday, shutting down Pat White and the Mountaineers speedy spread offense. That came a week after the Pirates took out Virginia Tech. West Virginia dropped all the way to No. 25. The second 10 in this weeks poll starts with Alabama, followed by Texas Tech, Kansas, and the Pirates. College football Overlooked team jumps into Top 25 By HOWARD ULMAN ASSOciAtED PRESS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady screamed. The fans went quiet. The seemingly indestructible star of the New England Patriots lay on the ground, clutching his left knee. The NFLs reigning MVP and three-time Super Bowl cham- pion was done for the day at least. He was in a lot of pain. When you hear a scream, you know that, Kansas City safety Bernard Pollard said after hitting Brady on the left leg midway through the first quarter. Untested Matt Cassel took over, and played well as the Patriots beat the Chiefs 17-10 in Sundays open- er. But they needed a last minute defensive stand to do it. There was no word on the extent of Bradys injury I am not sure what we are dealing with, coach Bill Belichick said or how long he would be out. But his 128-game starting streak, third-longest in NFL history, is in jeopardy. It kind of looked bad, Randy Moss said. I know the show must go on and, hopefully, Matt Cassel is ready to step in. He was Sunday. That came as somewhat of a surprise after he failed to produce a touchdown in 17 exhibition series, leading many to wonder if he would even make the team on which he backed up Brady the past three seasons. He did a good job coming in and, obviously, made some big plays for us, tackle Matt Light said. That guys had a lot of criti- cism cast down on him and I felt like he stepped up and played like a professional. Still, the Patriots plummeted from an exclamation point of an unbeaten 2007 regular season to a huge question mark in 2008. They lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants 17-14 then went 0-4 in the exhibition season while Brady had a right foot injury and missed all four games. But for the first time in 57 games, Brady wasnt listed on the Patriots injury report for Sundays game. He completed seven of 11 passes for 76 yards. Cassel, who had thrown just 39 passes in his first three seasons, went 13-for-18 for 152 yards and one touchdown. This is something Ive been preparing for [for] a long time. Its not something that we expected to come up on opening day, he said. Since Ive been here and been around Tom, hes always popped back up. Not this time. And Kansas City also had its own quarterback woes. Damon Huard, playing after Brodie Croyle left with a bruised shoulder late in the third quar- ter, completed a 68-yard pass to Devard Darling, who cornerback Deltha ONeal ran down and tack- led at the Patriots 5 with 53 sec- onds left. It was a gut check. Go get him, said ONeal, a two-time Pro Bowler who signed early last week. Thats what my whole mentality was.

Murray finished a stunning, rain-interrupted 6-2, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-4 victory Sunday at Flushing Meadows to reach his first Grand Slam final and stop the No. 1-ranked Nadals 19-match win- ning streak at major tournaments. Trying to become the first British man to win a major tennis championship since Fred Perry at the 1936 U.S. Open, Murray will face four-time defending cham- pion Roger Federer in the final Monday night. Hes got loads of experience in these situations, Murray said, and its something new to me. The sixth-seeded Murray won the first two sets against Nadal and was down a break at 3-2 in the third when play was suspended Saturday because of Tropical Storm Hanna. Tough to sleep, Murray said. As should surprise no one, the generally indefatigable Nadal made a stand Sunday, taking the third set and going ahead 3-1 in the fourth. But Murray took five of the last six games, breaking Nadal twice and ending the Spaniards bid to make his first final at the U.S. Open. Murray never before made it past the quarterfinals at a major and never had defeated Nadal in five previous tries. Nadal, mean- while, won 54 of his preceding 56 matches and took the titles at the French Open, Wimbledon and Beijing Olympics. But Murray, the 2004 U.S. Open junior champion, was up to the task this time. He wound up with more than twice as many winners as Nadal, 65-32. Murray won a 22-stroke point with a volley winner to get to match point, leaving Nadal bend- ing over behind the baseline, chest heaving. Then Murray completed the service break to end the match, easily chasing down Nadals drop shot and smacking a winner. I just had to keep my head down and watch the ball and that was that, Murray said. I didnt feel particularly nervous.

Tennis AssociAted Press MIAMI Brett Favre hardly looked like the retiring type, raising his arms to signal a touchdown, then leaping and skipping to the bench, where he vaulted into the arms of two teammates. Six months after Favre decided to call it a career before changing his mind, he made a successful debut with his new team as Broadway Brett, throw- ing for two scores to help the New York Jets beat the Miami Dolphins 20-14 on Sunday. Favres new beginning had a happy ending thanks to two late stands by the Jets defense. Dwight Lowery batted away a fourth-down pass in the end zone with nine minutes left, and Darrelle Revis intercepted Chad Pennington again in the end zone with five seconds left. Favre finished 15-for-22 for 194 yards and his 161st victory, extending his NFL record for starting quarterbacks. For the Dolphins, the loss marked a disappointing start to the Bill Parcells era, and it was painfully reminiscent of last years 1-15 team. Parcells took over last December, but despite turning over more than half the roster and hiring Tony Sparano as coach, Miami gave up too many big plays and sputtered on offense until a frantic late rally. The Dolphins convert- ed a fourth-and-7 during a 53-yard drive that ended with Penningtons 11-yard touchdown pass to David Martin, making it 20-14 with 3:27 left. New York kept the ball on the ground for three plays and was forced to punt, and the Dolphins started from their 39 with 1:43 left. They reached the Jets 18, but when Pennington tried to hit Ted Ginn Jr. in the corner of the end zone, Revis had posi- tion and made a one-handed interception. That clinched the Jets fifth consecutive win over their AFC East rivals. Newcomers helped make it seem like old times for the Dolphins. Pennington, playing against the team that released him in favor of Favre, drew boos early before finishing 26-for-43 for 251 yards. Three times the play clock was about to expire and Pennington was forced to waste a timeout that would have come in handy in the final min- ute. Miami tackle Jake Long, the first overall pick in this years draft, drew penalties for tripping and holding. New defensive end Randy Starks failed to wrap up Favre, who turned a sack into a touchdown. That score came on a 22-yard fourth-down completion to Chansi Stuckey, putting the Jets ahead to stay. Favre was traded to New York after his decision to delay retire- ment led to a messy divorce with the Green Bay Packers. The Jets hope Favre can transform a team that went 4-12 last year into a playoff contender, and it didnt take long for him to make an impact. Wearing his familiar No. 4, Favre went deep on the first play of the Jets second posses- sion. Jerricho Cotchery caught the long pass in stride at the 5 and scored to complete the 56-yard play. At the other end of the field, Favre celebrated like a rookie. With the score 7-all and Jets kicker Mike Nugent nurs- ing a thigh injury suffered in the first quarter, the Jets decid- ed to go for a touchdown on fourth-and-13. Under heavy pressure, Favre shrugged off the 305-pound Starks, and as he was sandwiched by two defenders, threw a dying-quail pass that found an open Stuckey for the go-ahead touchdown. nFL Favre has success with Jets, gets two scores Winning $50 is easy.

Well, as the saying goes, two out of three aint bad. The Jayhawks wrapped up the Jayhawk Invitational Sunday after- noon with a convincing victory against Central Florida in four sets, finishing second in the invitational. Kansas, which improved to 3-2, had its only setback of the weekend against nationally ranked Oregon. Coach Ray Bechard said he was relieved his team came out with energy after losing to Oregon in 3 sets the night before. It really was a pretty good match, Bechard said. It was an hour-and-45-minute match, and we played really well for an hour. Bechard said that after the Jayhawks dominated the Knights in the second set 25-10, they came out flat for the third, falling 25-20. Consistency was a common prob- lem for the Jayhawks all weekend. The Jayhawks would follow a great play with a hitting error or ser- vice error, making it hard to main- tain any momentum. But thanks to back-to-back aces from senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart, Kansas took a 18-9 lead in the sec- ond set and never looked back. A big reason the Jayhawks rolled against the UCF was an incredible balance that showed six players with five or more kills, three of them having at least 10, with fresh- men Allison Mayfield lead- ing the way with 11. You cant get too top- heavy to the left side. Teams will game plan against that, Bechard said. Uhart, who was doubtful for the weekend after tweaking her ankle on Tuesday, finished with 10 kills and continued to live up to her preseason All-Big 12 team selec- tion. And as for that flat third set? Uhart said it would be used as a practice point. Just like last night, we were a roller coaster, Uhart said. We know that we do it, and were very aware and were trying to get over the humps that we go through. Another factor to watch was how junior middle blocker Brittany Williams looked after playing three games in two days. Williams looked like the player of old at times, as it was obvious Williams still needed more time to continue to get herself back to 100 percent. We need to get Brittany more involved, which we will, Bechard said. She has some soreness after back-to-back games, but I think that it will continue to be more man- ageable. Wi l l i a ms said her trainer gave her a spe- cific regimen for her to fol- low, which has helped her feel better after a long stretch of games. Williams also knows how impor- tant these non-conference games are. We realize that from these past couple of years, that these non- conference games are actually the ones that put us above the .500 mark, Williams said. Which is exactly where the Jayhawks stand after the invitation- al, with a 3-2 record heading into a Tuesday match against UMKC. This is the challenge this early in the year: can you play better long? Becahrd said. Edited by AdamMowder Ducks top Hawks Oregon swept Kansas 3-0 on Saturday in the volleyball teams second match of the Jayhawk Invitational. Sophomore outside hitter Karina Garlington led the team with 12 kills. We looked tentative,Coach Ray Bechard said, needed to show a little bit more courage at times.

Junior middle blocker Neticia Enesi of Oregon was selected as the tourna- ments most valuable player. Homecoming for Heppert It was a special homecoming for Jenny Heppert of the Univer- sity of Central Florida. The senior hails from Lawrence and grew up watching Jayhawk volleyball. Its been a really great experi- ence,Heppert said. What a great program it is. Although Heppert said she loved her hometown, she never really considered playing for her childhood team. Lawrence is a really great town, but I wanted to go elsewhere,Heppert said. KUs a huge program so they probably had some more physical athletes in mind. Heppert had by far the big- gest reception from the home crowd during pregame introduc- tions, as many of her friends came to watch her play. Coach Bechard said he was in contact with Heppert during her recruiting process. It was a little about how she would ft in the Big 12,Bechard said. She had an opportunity to really go help a program. Here, she thought it would be more of a role-type situation. Bechard also wanted UCF to come to Lawrence to give Heppert a chance to play on the court she watched as a child. Weve been after them for a couple of years to get them out here,Bechard said. I think it was great for UCF to come out and reconnect with some of their home people.

Darnell Jackson became the fnal Kansas player to sign a contract this weekend when the Cleveland Cavaliers ofered him a three-year deal. The Cava- liers acquired Jackson in a trade with the Miami Heat, who selected him in the second round, on draft night. Jackson played for Clevelands summer league team in Las Vegas and averaged nearly six points and more than fve rebounds per game. Darnell has showed us he is a young, smart, hard-working player, Cleveland general man- ager Danny Ferry said in a state- ment. And we are excited to see his development continue. The Cavaliers also hold the rights to former Kansas center Sasha Kaun, but Kaun will play professionally in Russia for CSKA (a major Russian sports club) Moscow this season. Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur were given guaranteed contracts by the Indiana Pacers and Memphis Grizzlies, respectively, for being picked in the frst round of the draft. Mario Chalmers signed a contract with the Miami Heat this summer after they picked him in the second round. cHalmers, artHur apologize Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur both issued apologies for being kicked out of the NBA rookie symposium this weekend, but said they were not using marijuana. Chalmers released an apol- ogy through the Miami Heat. Arthur expressed remorse in an interview with the Memphis Commercial Appeal. They both said they were wrong to violate the leagues policy by bringing women into their room, but denied reports that they were smoking marijuana. Everyone who knows me knows I am a good person, Chalmers told the Miami Herald. I am embarrassed this hap- pened. I broke the rules, but I did not smoke marijuana. Chalmers and Arthur will have to attend the symposium again next year. They were fned $20,000 each and could be sus- pended to start the season. I made a bad mistake by bringing the girls in and violat- ing the rules, Arthur told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. It was a bad mistake. Im not a bad kid or anything. I just put myself in a bad situation. Case Keefer basketball notes Jackson GOLF Colombian model, golfer fnally wins PGA title ST. LOUIS For three years, Camilo Villegas made a name for himself without winning. He was the young Colombian with model good looks and chic clothing, limber enough to strike a pretzel-shaped pose on the green to read putts, earning him the nickname Spider-Man. Trouble was, not many of those putts went in. That changed Sunday at the BMW Championship. Clinging to a one-shot lead on the back nine at Bellerive, Villegas saved par with a 12-foot putt, fol- lowed that with two birdie putts and fnished of a 2-under 68 for a wire-to-wire victory and his frst PGA Tour title. It was a pretty good little stretch there that just tested my nerves and showed myself that I was good enough to stay out there,Villegas said. Villegas pulled away from Jim Furyk, held of Anthony Kim and wound up winning by two shots over Dudley Hart, who birdied his fnal two holes for a 65. It was Harts best fnish in four years and it earned him two trips to Georgia the Tour Championship in two weeks and the Masters next April. With one playof event remaining, the FedEx Cup essentially is over. Vijay Singh, who won the frst two events, tied for 44th but earned enough points that all he has to do is fnish four rounds at the Tour Championship to collect the $10 million payof.
