Alumni celebrate wine tradition

Friends promote lifelong tradition by serving KU students
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughton@kansan.com Jamie Routledge and Steve Wilson werent even friends in high school. But now theyre in business together. After graduating from Lawrence High in 1989, Routledge and Wilson came to the University as political science majors, not knowing that they would soon become roommates after meeting each other at a party. The pair graduated from the University in 1996, and after working in the restaurant and wine business for more than 10 years, they currently co-manage City Wine Market, a new wine store that opened at the beginning of this month, located at 4821 W. 6th Street. Opening a restaurant is something I had always wanted to do because cooking was always something we did as a family, Wilson said. After our restaurant closed, I realized wine is what I loved. Through the City Wine Market, both Routledge and Wilson want to promote that drinking wine can be affordable. Roughly 90 percent of their stock is under $25 and for students, affordability plays an important role. I hate to go into a liquor store that sells wine and Im automatically shown a $50 bottle when the person hasnt even inquired about my preferences, said Benjamin Fuentes, a senior from Satanta. I want a bottle that is within a college kids price range. Fuentes only buys a couple of wine bottles a month, but Wilson said he noticed a trend of 21-to 30-year-olds drinking more wine than ever in the past. We definitely want to focus on and attract that business, Wilson said. While working in Kansas City, Wilson learned that the younger generation takes interest in social activities with an inexpensive price tag. And wine, by nature, is social. Younger wine drinkers like the sociable characteristics that it offers. The college-aged population has experienced great wine with their parents, and they dont see it as a snobby, pretentious beverage like previous generations did, Wilson said. While Fuentes was still living at home, his mom was given a bottle of wine from Spain. She said she would not open it until one of her three kids got married and it remains closed today. Instead, she went out and bought another bottle of wine and Fuentes said that is where his interest in wine began. He said now most of his family vacations include going to a winery to enjoy good wine tasting. Wilson also has many stories and memories about drinking wine on family vacations in Europe when he was younger that sparked his love for wine that he still has today. Wine is supposed to have a story. It is like a little time capsule that captures a specific time, place and surrounding, Wilson said. If you take all that away, you just have a beverage.

According to Steve Wilson, comanager of City Wine Market, most wine drinkers follow a similar path. You usually start with wines that are fruity and contain more sugar than others; the sweeter, more fruit-forward wines As palette evolves, you may start developing a taste for non-fruit aromas and flavors: for example, earthy notes, tobacco, leather or wood, then may transition to drier wines

It is about knowing what you like and want in a wine, because a $100 bottle of wine may be good, but not good for you. There are many factors that play a part in choosing a wine, for example your preferences and whether you are going to eat it with a particular food.

City Wine Market offers customers an affordable way to try different wines. Most bottles are under $25 and co-managers Steve Wilson and Jamie Routledge, KU graduates, offer each customer a personal wine selecting experience with their extensive knowledge of wines.

Rankings drop doesnt discourage students, faculty

By STEPHEN MONTEMAyOR
smontemayor@kansan.com A slight dip in the U.S. News & World Report college rankings of public universities has the University of Kansas both conscious of the need for improvement and pleased at remaining in the lists top 50. In the rankings released Aug. 17, the University fell four spots from 2010 to a tie with four other universities at 47th. In the publications list of best national universities, both public and private, the University fell from 96 to 104. The Universitys graduation and retention rates, 61 percent and 80 percent respectively, played a part in the rankings for the fall. Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little created task forces last year to determine how to improve the Universitys standing in these areas. Lynn Bretz, director of University Communications, said that the University is proud that it represents Kansas among the 30 states that appear among the top 50 public universities. The University is also pleased with its inclusion among the top colleges for study abroad programs. Bretz said that while the rankings tell one story, the subjective quality of a campus and its professors are not so easily quantified. However, as evidenced by task forces focusing on improving graduation and retention, that doesnt mean these and other rankings are taken lightly. Students consider U.S. News rankings important and so do parents, Bretz said. And because of that, we do too. The U.S. News & World Reports college rankings began in 1983 and became one of the early guides in the selection process for prospective students. Robert Morse, the publications director of data research, said that the rankings should only be used as one tool among others in the college search. The rankings are limited in find out whats going on, Roberts what they can measure, Morse said. David Hauber, a district court said.

KU students team up with local brewery for future waste audit

Boulevard Brewery takes steps toward a zero landfill strategy
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ
mholtz@kansan.com If Boulevard Brewerys most recent sustainability effort seems ambitious, thats because it is. Eventually, were not going to have trash, said Laurie Williams, logistics manager for the Kansas City, Mo. area-based brewery. With the goal of reaching zero landfill, meaning minimal to no trash ends up in landfills, by the end of the year, Boulevard Brewery contacted the University of Kansas student chapter of the Air and Waste Management Association, or AWMA, to perform a waste audit of its facilities. The student chapter completed a similar waste audit of Wescoe Hall in April. The groups final report showed that 76 percent of Wescoe Halls trash was recyclable, reusable or compostable. Lydia Gibson, president of the student chapter and a graduate student from Prairie Village, said she expects to find similar results at Boulevard Brewery. Kurt Gerdes, education chairman for AWMAs Midwest section, acts as a liaison between Boulevard Brewery and the student organization. After talks with CEO and founder John McDonald about going zero landfill, Gerdes said he contacted Gibson. Because they wanted to go zero landfill, we thought it would make sense to take a waste-audit approach, Gerdes said. Theyll really understand exactly what kind of waste they have. AIR AND WASTE Gibson said performing a waste mANAgEmENT audit was a simple process. Student ASSoCIATIoN volunteers will sort one or two INfoRmATIoNAL days worth of trash collected from mEETINgS: various locations in the brewery.

Photo contest raises clean water funds

River to Well will help build wells in South Africa
BY CAROLINE BLEDOWSKI
cbledowski@kansan.com

Ali Meeks likes to take pictures, but she never thought about using them to win awards or earn money. At least not until a friend told Meeks, sophomore from Shawnee, about River to Well, a photo competition that raises money to build clean water wells in South Africa. I really believe in the cause, Meeks said. Its something that really needs to be focused on in the world because clean water is such a big issue. Meeks won first place in the student category of the competition and received an honorable mention for another picture. River to Well is a competition for professionals, amateurs and students. Entry fees for submission of photos are donated to a charity organization that helps build wells in rural villages in South Africa. All winning pictures are displayed at the Signs of Life Gallery, 722 Massachusetts St., from Sept. 29 to Oct. 2. River to Well began as a project by Ken Chang, a KU graduate. He traveled to South Africa in 2008 and learned about the lack of accessible clean water in many rural villages. He began the photo competition in 2009 and raised $5,000, which helped to build a well in Ndhambi, South Africa. This year, there are plans to build a well in Kwa Dick, South Africa. Its a really different and unique way to meet the needs of the world using photography, said Claire Lewis, marketing and outreach coordinator of River to Well. Entries came in from the United States and eight other countries, Lewis said, but she expects this year to have even more entries from more countries. River to Well is a grass-roots movement, Lewis said. Besides articles in local newspapers and a website, the project is mostly advertised by bloggers and wordof-mouth. I was happy to see that those were young professionals and stu-

dents, said Ferry Keizer, winner of the amateur category last year and creative director at Callahan Creek, an agency for special retail brands. Keizer considers photography his hobby and entered the competition after working with a company involved with bringing clean water to Africa. If you think that something as basic as clean drinking water is not afforded to so many people, then you take a lot for granted

More information about the requirements and cost for submission is available at rivertowell.com.

When Ryan Cavanaughs Relativity Media bought Rogue from Universal Studios in early 2009, Lottery Ticket was orphaned. It just didnt fit into their plans, says Abdul Williams, Lottery Tickets screenwriter. We thought it was dead. But Alcon, the production company launched by Federal Express founder and Chairman Frederick Smith, had just refinanced its production deal, and was obligated to lower its slates average budget, owing to the $82-million Book of Eli. Alcons movies, which are released by Warner Bros., tend to have some positive social message and the company felt Lottery Ticket fit with its mission.

Jay-Z grabs Forbes Cash King award

LOS ANGELES All hail returning royalty. For the third time in the last four years, Jay-Z has been anointed hip-hops Cash King by Forbes; he is raps highest-earning star with a bullet, according to the magazines annual ranking. Having taken in $63 million in the last 12 months, Hovi Baby easily bested a whos who of hiphop rainmakers that includes Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Timbaland and Dr. Dre not to mention the only person to have financially outperformed Jay-Z in recent memory, 50 Cent, who took the Forbes lists top spot in 2008 with a $150 million annual income. He was downgraded to No.14 this year, though, having checked in with a comparatively paltry $8 million. And the lists No. 2 wasnt even close. Just $30 million, Sean Diddy Combs? But if there is a takeaway from this years Cash King crop, its that business as usual in the rap world means leveraging ones creativity into a mode of undisguised commerciality thats created an abiding business model for the music industry. Hip-hops heavy hitters seem to realize that to make it in todays troubled economy marked by a tumble in the concert business and music sales brand-building is as important as mic control.

Senate stepping up with new image push

Despite all the work it does, in the minds of many students, Student Senate doesnt always conjure up a positive image, if it produces any image at all. Student Senate, under the leadership of President Michael Wade Smith, hopes to change that this semester with a new $4,000 image revamp that includes a new website and logo. The money will be taken from the groups reserve account, Smith which is used for long-term projects. The new website will be easier to navigate and more interactive. Student Senate is hoping that this change will allow students to have easier access to information on what their senators are doing and what decisions are being made. This is a step in the right direction for Student Senate, which in the past has at some points seemed disconnected from the student population as a whole. The new branding also mirrors internal changes which should have the greatest positive effect on relations between senate and students. One such change is a new points system in which senators gain points for participating in various activities that make the senators visible to students. While ideally senators would not need point systems to motivate participation, this is still a positive change. Ultimately, however, no system to promote senate engagement will work unless the student body holds their senators accountable. The success of a new year of Student Senate is dependent on an increased sense of responsibility not only by the senators, but also by students. Students need to be writing their senators, whose emails can be found at www.studentsenate.ku.edu, and sharing their thoughts about how to make KU a better place. Many students participate in and pay attention to national or state politics, as they should, but seem to not give Student Senate much thought. While obviously national politics affect students in many ways, many of the decisions made by smaller, more local governments affect us even more. Especially those decisions made in the KU community. Student Senate decides everything from which student groups get money and how much, to what can be done to ensure our safety on campus. These decisions affect us every day in the classroom and in our extracurricular activities on campus. Our senators do a lot to continue the Universitys strong reputation and they need and deserve a student population who make their wishes and concerns known and hold their representatives accountable.

Fighting religious intolerance requires recognizing freedom

A recent outcry against the proposal for construction of a Muslim community center two blocks from New York Citys Ground Zero provides insight into the inadequacy of religious tolerance in the United States. This intolerance is deeply rooted in an inability of some citizens to fully recognize the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion. Some claim the uproar is solely about the location of the mosque (which, mind you, is not directly on Ground Zero, but two blocks away). However, this is not the case for many Americans who view Islamic practice anywhere as somehow unAmerican, as evidenced by the opposition to mosques in communities around the country, including one protested in Murfreesboro, Tenn. (according to CNN.com) and one in Temecula Valley, Cali. (reported by the LA Times). The fear that such havens of religious practice would inevitably become gathering grounds for Islamic extremists and terrorists is absolutely ridiculous, as is the notion that American Muslims have to undergo constant scrutiny and discrimination because of the crimes of radical terrorists. As John Oliver joked on the Aug. 16 episode of The Daily Show, this would mean every practitioner of a religion would have to take responsibility for

that religions biggest a**holes. I doubt most Christians would take responsibility for Fred Phelps, a sentiment shared by author and pastor Adam Hamilton of Kansas Citys Church of the Resurrection. The fact is, this community center is not meant to be disrespectful to 9/11 victims (many of which were, in fact, Muslim Americans) or even a symbol of victory for radical Islamic terrorists. Besides, how far away would Muslims have to go to build such a community center? If two blocks is not far away enough, is six? Twelve? How about just banning them from New York City? The slippery slope is obvious. No matter what you think about the wisdom of the decision to build the mosque at that location, an issue even President Obama has been vague about, the main point is that there is and should be no legal barrier to the construction of the mosque. Such barrier would violate the constitution.

Freedom of religion means allowing the unrestricted practice of religion as long as it does not interfere with the life or liberty of another citizen. Building a place of Islamic worship on this block of downtown New York City in no way inhibits the inaliable rights of American citizens. Religious practice is not a conditional freedom. To constrain this basic right in the name of national security (or, actually, in the name of misplaced fear and resentment) would go against the very foundation of our country. If we allow fear to penetrate our minds and create intolerance, we will only be assisting in the erosion of democracy, a destruction desired by our attackers in the first place. If you are a student who opposes the building of the community center in New York, please take the time to ask yourself whether you would oppose the building of a similar Islamic center near KUs campus (and keep in mind, one already exists). Be brutally honest to yourself. If that idea troubles you as well, it may be time to reexamine your views of Islam. Coming in to religious tolerance and acceptance is one of the best ways to grow as a person. Cosby is an Overland Park junior in political science and english.

The Kaw River Water Treatment Plant is one of the facilities that is responsible for cleaning up the drinking water for the city of Lawrence. Recently, algae from Clinton lake and the Kansas River has made its way into the drinking water and the water treatment facilities are working to get the drinking water back to normal by the end of this week. person got their funky water from. In this case, Klamm said, many complaints have been coming from around the treatment center for the Kansas River. Klamm said Clinton Lakes facility is designed to handle reservoir water, which has these issues more often, while the rivers facility is designed for river water. The problem is that reservoirs upstream from Lawrence are releasing their water. The river doesnt have river water, Klamm said. It has reservoir water from upstream. That is why the algae followed by smelly geosmin and MIB are in the Kansas River too and is a key reason for the extra funk in Lawrences water. Another problem in fixing the taste is figuring out how it started. By the time we notice the buildup of geosmin and MIB, the algae has already broken down, so the cause might have already dissipated, said Don Huggins, aquatic ecologist at the Kansas Biological Survey. The best way to eliminate the waters funk seems to be adding activated carbon to the water. Activated carbon is like charcoal, heated up so much that it creates tiny pore holes, Huggins said. The geosmin and MIB get trapped in its holes. In a sense, the carbon absorbs it, and then the carbon is filtered back out, Huggins said. Huggins said the same process is used in many home water filters because the carbon holes trap other contaminants also. One problem with adding activated carbon is its cost. Filtering it from the water and sending it back for recycling and reuse, is expensive. Another problem with carbon is that its tiny, granular size is hard to manage. Carbon will clog our filters, Klamm said. At a certain point, we cant keep adding carbon anymore. Were at that point now. Even if the city wasnt trying to fix the taste, the problem would work itself out anyway. Algae have a normal life cycle and they will eventually die out. Edited by Clark Goble

Crew in Alaska searches for missing park employees

Mcclatchy-tribune
ANCHORAGE, Alaska Searchers were continuing to fly over a mountainous stretch of western Alaska Sunday afternoon looking for a missing float plane carrying three National Park Service employees headed to King Salmon. The massive search involves dozens of people and includes aircraft from the U.S. Coast Guard, the Alaska Air National Guard, the Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska State Troopers and a private carrier, said Katmai National Park Superintendent Ralph Moore. King Salmon is about 285 miles west of Anchorage. The missing de Havilland Beaver float plane, owned by Branch River Air Service of King Salmon and equipped with an emergency locator transmitter, vanished after leaving Swikshak Lagoon early Saturday afternoon, according to the park service. The Katmai National Park maintenance crew was in Swikshak, east of King Salmon, to begin work tearing down a deteriorated ranger station and building a new one, Moore said. The Park Service crew of three was picked up around 1:45 p.m. Saturday. A second Branch River plane, which picked up two other Park Service employees, left about 15 minutes later. The second plane made it to King Salmon in about an hour, but the first plane never arrived. The weather was deteriorating and the plane that made it through had to fly about 500 feet above ground level along a river drainage, according to the Park Service. The missing employees and Branch River pilot havent yet been identified. The pilot was very familiar with the area and had flown the route many times, Moore said. With low clouds, the pilot of the missing plane likely would have headed north up the Katmai coast around Cape Douglas, then cut in along a river drainage such as the McNeil, Paint or Little Kamishak rivers to a series of lakes that lead to King Salmon. That route avoids the high mountains and is the way the other pilot made it through, along the Little Kamishak drainage, Moore said. Pilots usually only take the more direct route over the mountains in good weather, Moore said. The pilot of the second plane didnt see anything amiss. Its hard to know if they actually ended up flying the same (river) drainage, Moore said. Fifteen minutes of flight time might end up opening up a drainage that was closed before. Low clouds and poor visibility are hampering the search, rescuers said. Rescuers picked up an electronic signal Saturday and thought it might be emitting from the vanished plane, but it wasnt the type normally sent out by an ELT. Searchers on Sunday didnt pick up the signal again, Moore said. Moore said theres a chance the plane could have landed and the group could be holed up in a cove waiting for the weather to improve. Signals from any attempts at radio transmissions may be weak or blocked by mountains, the superintendent said.

four dead after drug lord fight

Gang leader takes responsibility for decapitated bodies
associated Press
CUERNAVACA, Mexico The decapitated bodies of four men were hung from a bridge Sunday in this central Mexican city besieged by fighting between two drug lords. A gang led by kingpin Hector Beltran Leyva took responsibility for the killings in a message left with the bodies, the attorney generals office of Mexico state said in a statement. The beheaded and mutilated bodies were hung by their feet early Sunday from the bridge in Cuernavaca, a popular weekend getaway for Mexico City residents. Cuernavaca has become a battleground for control of the Beltran Leyva cartel since its leader, Arturo Beltran Leyva, was killed there in a December shootout with marines. Mexican authorities say the cartel split between a faction led by Hector Beltran Leyva, brother of Arturo, and another led by Edgar Valdez Villareal, a U.S.-born kingpin known as the Barbie. The message left with the bodies threatened: This is what will happen to all those who support the traitor Edgar Valdez Villareal. Authorities said the four men had been kidnapped days earlier. The family of one of the men reported the abduction to police.

rebuilding the team

Team has structure with Pick as leader

By COREy THIBODEAUX
fter an entire summer and four media accesses with coaches and players, I learned absolutely nothing about the new-look Jayhawk football team. No position was established. Coach Turner Gill was conservative during interviews, disclosing injuries but not much else. And the players hadnt played a game yet, so what is there to express at this point except uncertainty? That was all until Thursday. The news came out of nowhere, but it was a sigh of relief for those trying to find a news peg out of all this. This is what we learned: Kale Pick is the new quarterback. Toben Opurum, last years leading rusher, moved to linebacker. Also, the team established its five captains last Tuesday. It would have been better for the Jayhawks to make these decisions earlier in the season. A team needs to know who its leaders are to have structure. But with a new coaching staff, its understandable why these positions are just now being established. None are more important than Pick being named the starter. The quarterback should be the unquestioned leader on every football team. He is the field general, the man who dictates the offense through the coach and commands respect from his teammates. Kansas had that man last year in Todd Reesing. That was his team. This year, everyone was looking at two guys who could have filled that role. One was going to win and one was going to lose. They couldnt both be the team leader; its not how the quarterback position works. Now, Pick is the man under center while Jordan Webb, who was his equal all throughout summer, becomes a figure on the sideline until his number is called. We havent seen Webbs reaction yet, but this was only a matter of time for Pick. I didnt want to come to KU and not have a chance to start, obviously, Pick said after he was announced the starter. That was my mentality coming out of high school. Gill said this wasnt a decision for the sake of making one. Pick showed skills in camp that separated him from Webb and, barring an injury, will start Sept. 4. This quarterback situation is going to make for an interesting season. To the players and coaches, Pick and Webb were indistinguishable as far as skill-set and leadership goes. They were too close to make an immediate decision, which means Pick is not that far ahead of Webb. If Pick gets pulled at any point during the season, he may not see the field next game. Whether it makes the team better or not, blame cant be put on the coaches. The only way to see what kind of players the team has is to play them. But today, the Jayhawks have the structure they need at quarterback. No more guessing, no more splitting first-team reps, no more trying to prove oneself. Pick will assume the role, and the team has the trust that he is mature enough to lead them. Edited by Anna Nordling

Members of the Kansas football team huddle up during their first practice of the season earlier this month. Under first-year coach Turner Gill, the Jayhawks are looking to fill the shoes of graduated seniors Todd Reesing and Kerry Meier and NFLbound junior Dezmon Briscoe.

Underclassmen step up for KU

Gill remains hopeful despite bumpy start
By MATT GALLOWAy
mgalloway@kansan.com Rebuilding is a dirty word for many of the upperclassmen on the Kansas football team. Not necessarily the meaning of the word, but rather the negative connotations that come with it the idea that you must endure losing to someday win again. Sixth year senior running back Angus Quigley does not buy that common sports mindset. I feel like this can be a real positive season for us, Quigley said. People look at this as a rebuilding year, but that isnt how we look at it. Were not marking any Ls on the schedule. New coach Turner Gill inherited a team in shambles, fresh off the heels of a season-ending, seven-game losing streak and the departure of embattled coach Mark Mangino. At least one Jayhawk thinks the team may have gotten the bumps and bruises out of its system before coach Gills arrival. It was tough, we couldnt even buy a win, said senior defensive end Jake Laptad. But I feel like it is going to help us in the long run. We know we have to work harder this off-season. The departure of quarterback Todd Reesing and receivers Dezmon Briscoe and Kerry Meier, three of the most vital offensive players in the programs history, leaves big gaps at arguably the most important offensive positions. Quigley knows the offensive unit will have a challenge stacking up to last season, but he has trust in his younger teammates. Weve got a lot of young guys that are going to fill some voids for us, Quigley said. Thats how football works; weve got guys that left, so guys have to step up. However long the adjustment period to coach Gills system takes, the learning curve should be assisted by the absence of two Big 12 juggernauts from the schedule: Texas and Oklahoma. And with the conferences realignment, this will be the last season for the foreseeable

future that the Jayhawks will not have to play either the Longhorns or the Sooners. Sophomore Kale Pick beat out freshman Jordan Webb for quarterback, but they are both examples of underclassmen eager to send their seniors out on a winning note. Its really important to everybody, Webb said. This senior class has worked so hard. Weve got a bunch of seniors who are ready to go out there and give it one last shot. Edited by Abby Davenport

Volleyball

Intrasquad scrimmage shows off competitive team

Veteran Mayfield impressed by the team's potential
icummings@kansan.com The volleyball team took its game out in front of a crowd for the first time this year in three closely contested sets of an intrasquad scrimmage between teams Crimson and Blue. The scrimmage at the Horesji Family Athletics Center on Saturday night was also the first appearance for nine freshmen and one sophomore transfer. Crimson got the better of the exchange, but with scores of 21-25, 25-21 and 27-25, the message was that the team has competitive players to go around. Junior outside hitter Allison Mayfield, who was one of two Jayhawks to play in all 102 sets last season, did not disappoint. She led the team with 15 kills, including eight in the first set. She also put up three service aces in an effort that ultimately wasnt enough to save the Blue team from a 25-21 loss. At the same time, outside hitters freshman Amy Wehrs and senior Karina Garlington one

of four returning starters and a Preseason All-Big 12 Team selection posted double digit kills, with 12 each. Mayfield said the scrimmage went well. We have a lot of potential but a lot of work to do to get better, she said. I think we all got the nerves out. She said developing the teams offensive potential will be a main theme in practice. Mayfield denied the suggestion that the team might be intimidated as its first regular season games approach. The Jayhawks start the 2010 regular season in Omaha, Neb., on Friday at 4:30 p.m., taking on Lipscomb in the Bluejay Invitational, hosted by Creighton. The next day, theyll play San Francisco and Creighton. The team is more competitive than it has ever been in the past, senior outside hitter Jenna Kaiser said. Theyre always ready to help out and give advice. One player whose advice was hard not to hear was freshman defensive specialist Brianne Riley, who could be heard throughout all three sets calling out to all members of her team. Im a very loud player, Riley said. I like to communicate and control the game.

One thing that she thought the team as a whole did well with was first touch, serve and receive. If you do that, you can win most games, Riley said. For the scrimmage, coach Ray Bechard divided the squad to be evenly matched. We put as many players in game-like situations as we could tonight, Bechard said. Obviously when you have 19 its difficult to get everybody equal time. We wanted to see three setters set. That was important to us. I think its just really important to the group in front of a crowd with the whistles blowing and get the nerves out of the way. We had eight new players and two newcomers from last year that redshirted. So, thats 10 new people to experience that. So, with all of that going on I thought the organization was pretty good. I thought our offense was a little bit ahead of our defense. I thought we had some good moments, so Im excited. Edited by Clark Goble

Kids get serious with sports too early

Kids grow up too fast these days. The Little League World Series is taking over matinee hours of ESPN programming showcasing kids aged 13 years or younger representing different countries. I dont know if well ever see more than three of these kids in the big leagues some day, but the process of recruiting and examining talent at younger and younger ages is inflating the heads of kids to a degree that is mind-blowing. This past year, University of Southern California football offered a scholarship to a six foot tall 13-year-old. This kid was born during the Clinton administration. He couldnt walk when the song I Believe I Can Fly, by R. Kelly, came out. How has this kids life changed since Lane Kiffin came knocking on his door? Has his self-image risen from a extremely lanky eighth-grader to the next Spartan god? I cannot assume too much, but I wonder if he will ever have a normal high school experience now. nroesler@kansan.com Children need to grow up and experience what each year of a normal childhood has to offer.

A:

need to let these kids develop as past generations did playing in youth football leagues with only their gossiping parents there to watch. The young Louisville sluggers making it on ESPN this week are no exception. I bet that this past summer for most those kids on the Georgia team was about having a good enough batting average to make to team and get to the national stage. Although the Little League World Series has a history rooted in tradition and it would be a great thing to compete in, it is not ESPN-worthy. Im sure its going to be one of the most memorable experience of their lives, for good or for worse, depending on how many errors they commit. Theyre 13 for Babe Ruths sake! If kids have the talent to make varsity in whatever sport they so choose, then get lucky enough to play for a university, then are gifted enough to actually make money in their sport, they deserve all the attention the world can give them. But at this

stage in their lives, let them dream big and not have their head blown up with air just because they made it onto ESPN. There are a lot of years of athletic potential ahead of them, maybe even 30 if they have Brett Favres resilience. Give them these next precious years to soak up the fun that is being a kid.

Pick, offense outplay USA wins warm-up versus Spain defense in scrimmage
AssociATed PRess By MATT GAlloWAy
mgalloway@kansan.com The Kansas football coaching staff didnt have to wait long to see immediate returns in their decision to name sophomore quarterback Kale Pick the teams starter. Pick threw two touchdown passes on Saturday at Memorial Stadium, both to senior receiver Johnathan Wilson, and the offense outclassed the defense in a 55-play scrimmage. I thought things went okay today, coach Turner Gill said in a news release. The offense made some plays, and the offensive line did some things to open it up for us. But the defense needs to tackle better. Thats something were going to have to improve before our first game. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb also led a pair of scoring drives. Webb and Pick split the snaps, but both were able to move the ball at will on the defense. Junior running back Rell Lewis injured his knee in the scrimmage. A timetable for his return has yet to be determined. Edited by Roshni Oommen MADRID Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim called for a switch to his trademark Orange 2-3 zone with the United States clinging to a one-point lead. Kevin Durant did the rest, blocking shots by Ricky Rubio and Rudy Fernandez in the final seconds in the Americans 86-85 victory over Spain on Sunday in a warm-up game for the world championships. Jim Boeheim said, Lets go orange, U.S. head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. So we did. It was his suggestion and our guys did a good job with that. Durant led the United States with 25 points.

World top spot reclaimed

AssociATed PRess
PORTLAND, Ore. Ai Miyazato reclaimed the top spot in the world rankings, winning the LPGA Safeway Classic on Sunday for her fifth victory of the year. The Japanese star closed with an even-par 72 to finish at 11 under, two strokes in front of Cristie Kerr, ranked No. 1 going into the event, and Na Yeon Choi. Kerr chased Miayzato throughout the final round until hitting into the water on the par-4 18th on Pumpkin Ridge Golf Clubs Ghost Creek Course. Kerr shot a 70, and Choi had a 71 in mostly sunny conditions on the rural course about a 20-minute drive west of Portland. Rain fell briefly about the time that the leaders teed off. Miyazato, who led all three rounds, is among five players who have been jockeying for the No. 1 ranking, including Kerr, Jiyai Shin, Suzann Pettersen and Yani Tseng. The Safeway Classic, in its second year at Pumpkin Ridge, was marred Saturday when veteran Juli Inkster, in strong position to contend in the final round, was disqualified.

Football enthusiasts enjoy a first look at the fall football team at Fan Appreciation Day

Games, goodies and autographs were available to fans who watched an hour-long practice session. Were thankful for them to come on out and support the KU football program, said coach Turner Gill. The practice didnt reveal too much. It was no-contact and often ran basic plays.

Georgias 3-4 scheme provides flexibility on football field

MCClATCHY-TRIBUnE
ATHENS, Ga. Theyve been calling Justin Anderson Bean for awhile. For much of the past two seasons, they called him Georgias starting guard. This year they may be calling him a starting nose tackle. Thats fine with him. If they tell me to go to wide receiver, which I know Id probably be horrible at, Id still go try it, Anderson said. That wont be necessary, luckily, since Anderson is 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds. But plenty of big changes have come with Georgias new 3-4 scheme, including whats basically a new position nose tackle and potentially a brand new player at that position. Originally, it was going to be DeAngelo Tyson, the junior who played defensive tackle the past two seasons. And it could still end up being Tyson. But Anderson and redshirt freshman Kwame Geathers have done well enough at the nose that Tyson is being flexed out to the end, where he could be a better weapon. Tyson couldnt put a percentage on how many plays he would see at each position. It all varies, he said. Weve gotta find depth, and if we dont have enough depth, then I guess I have to go nose. Then if we do have depth, then I can go play end. But its all about who wants to step up and go be a player. So far Anderson has shown he wants to. He started 12 games at guard his first two years, then was moved to nose tackle during spring practice. But he got hurt right away, so his indoctrination to the nose spot, at least as far as live action, didnt come until preseason practice started three weeks ago. Coming onto (playing) defense I was kind of nervous at first, Anderson said. I knew I was eventually going to do well, but in the past on offensive line Ive had trouble with playbooks. That was probably my biggest I wouldnt say fright, but I was kind of skeptical on it. The nose tackle position can be a tough one in the 3-4. Thats why Albert Haynesworth, an NFL All-Pro in a 4-3 system, asked for a trade after the Washington Redskins switched to a three-down lineman lineup for this season. But new Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, who imported the 3-4 from the Dallas Cowboys, believes the nose can flourish in his system. He pointed out that Jay Ratliff was an AllPro and had eight sacks for the Cowboys last season. The key is whether a nose tackle has to attack one or two gaps in the offensive line. In the Redskins new system, for instance, the nose has to attack two, which tends to limit the opportunities to make plays. (Like sacks.) But in Granthams system the nose only has to mind the one gap, and has more freedom. You can make some sacks as a nose if youve got some initial quickness and some burst, Grantham said. Georgia defensive line coach Rodney Garner, a holdover from when the team was using a 4-3, put it another way: I guess the 3-4 (scheme) that everyones so paranoid about, when you have that two-gap, you need that big 350-pound nose guard that can just sit in there and just hold the point at center and play both of them A gaps. And I dont have that.

Plucky Duck QB trying to put the past behind him

Nate Costa hopes to start for Pac-10 favorite Oregon
Mcclatchy-tribune
EUGENE, Ore. Turn the page, Chip Kelly preached to his team as it began fall camp. Get on with the business of establishing a new identity for Oregon football. Dont transfer the baggage of the troubling offseason headlines into 2010. All of that should be fine with Nate Costa, battling to be the quarterback for the Pac-10favorite and defending champion Ducks when they begin the season Sept. 4 against New Mexico. He ought to be pleased to leave behind the past, which has visited all sorts of miseries upon him. Its obviously taken some things away from me, says Costa, but in the end, football is such an amazing game. Costa is a guy worth rooting for, a fifth-year senior who has hung around through three serious injuries to the same knee, just so he can live the dream. He hasnt yet been named the starter hes battling a sophomore with more raw ability, Darron Thomas but if Kelly has a heart underneath that fasttalking Eastern demeanor, it has to be Costa. It should be his job to lose. He came to Oregon out of Californias Central Valley in 2006, having had a knee surgery in high school.

kANSAS cITY, Mo. Jason kendall hit a game-ending single with two outs in the 10th inning to give the kansas city Royals a 3-2 victory over the chicago White Sox on Sunday, the teams third extra-inning game in less than 24 hours. Gregor Blanco walked with two outs and stole second and third before kendall delivered the hit

Buchholz continues his hot streak and leads Sox past Blue Jays 5-0
aSSOciateD PreSS
BOSTON Clay Buchholz pitched six innings of five-hit ball to lower his AL-best ERA to 2.26 and Bill Hall hit a two-run homer as the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 in a raindelayed game Sunday. The game began 1 hour, 44 minutes late and was stopped for 59 minutes by more rain with two outs in the top of the third of a scoreless tie. That delay didnt bother Buchholz, who needed just two pitches after play resumed to end the inning by retiring Adam Lind on a fly ball to left field. It was typical of the way Buchholz (15-5) has been pitching lately. He began the day with a 2.36 ERA and extended his streak to 23 2-3 innings without allowing an earned run. He won his fifth consecutive decision and gave up three runs or less for the 15th time in his last 16 starts. He allowed just five hits for the third straight game, struck out seven and walked three. Shaun Marcum (11-7) retired Bostons first 12 batters after pitching a one-hitter in his previous game, a 3-1 win at Oakland last Monday night. That hit was a homer by Conor Jackson leading off the seventh. On Sunday, the Red Sox unleashed their power in the fifth. David Ortiz led off with a triple to left-center that center fielder Vernon Wells, shaded toward right field, couldnt reach despite a hustling attempt. On the next pitch, Adrian Beltre lined a double to left, scoring Ortiz. Marcum set down the next two batters before Hall hit a towering shot over the left field wall on a 2-1 pitch for his 17th homer of the year. The righty then retired seven of his remaining eight hitters and left after the seventh. He gave up four hits with six strikeouts and no walks. Jason Frasor took over in the eighth and allowed two runs on a run-scoring double by Ryan Kalish and an RBI single by Ortiz. The Blue Jays couldnt get going offensively even after Buchholz left. Daniel Bard worked the seventh and Felix Doubront, who entered with a 3-0 lead, worked the last two innings for his second save in three opportunities. Toronto managed six hits, all singles, and had its best chance in the first. Fred Lewis led off with a walk and took third on Jose Bautistas one-out single. But Buchholz ended the threat with an infield popup and a groundout. He struck out the side in the second, when he allowed a walk and a single, and fanned two more batters in the third. He struck out Lyle Overbay leading off the fourth and allowed his next runner on a single by Jose Molina to start the fifth. But a flyout and a double play ended that inning.

Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella thanks the cheering crowd for their acknowledgement during an emotional moment at Wrigley Field in Chicago, on Sunday. The Cubs lost to the Atlanta Braves, 16-5.

Lou Piniella announces retirement after 48 years

aSSOciateD PreSS
CHICAGO Lou Piniella waved goodbye Sunday, bowing as out the Cubs manager and ending a career that spanned five decades after the Atlanta Braves routed Chicago 16-5. The 66-year-old Piniella announced before the game that he leaving to be with his ailing mother. Third base coach Mike Quade was promoted to interim manager. The disappointing Cubs werent able to send Piniella out as a winner. Omar Infante and Jason Heyward each hit a pair of home runs, and the Braves scored 11 times in the last three innings to break away. Piniella was in the dugout when the game was over, and he waved his hat to longtime Braves manager Bobby Cox across the field. Cox plans to retire after the season. Piniella hugged Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez before heading down the dugout tunnel to the clubhouse. After contemplating the decision for several days and discussing it with Cubs general manager Jim Hendry, Piniella decided to walk away from baseball after 48 years as a player, manager and executive. The surprising announcement came in a team handout in the morning, and after Piniella had repeatedly insisted he would finish the season. My mom needs me home and thats where Im going, Piniella said. The loss left the Cubs at 51-74. Atlanta held its lead in the NL East. Piniella and Cox were honored before the game as they exchanged lineup cards at home plate. Piniella and the umpiring crew posed for a picture. He shook hands with Cox, and they hugged each other and exchanged back slaps as Piniellas No. 41 was posted on the center-field scoreboard. Cox made his last trip as a manager to Wrigley Field. He was announced to the crowd and took his cap off and waved it to the fans. Braves starter Mike Minor (2-0) set a team rookie record by striking 12 in six innings. The lefty allowed three runs and six hits. Heyward and Infante each finished with four hits, drove in four runs and scored four times. It was 5-3 before the Braves scored four runs in the seventh, five more in the eighth and twice in the ninth. The Cubs have lost six of their last seven. Randy Wells (5-12) took the loss. Rookie Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro finished 4 for 5 with two doubles.

Questions arise for UFC right before season begins

Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES USC Coach Lane Kiffin hoped to have some answers Saturday after the Trojans scrimmaged for the final time before their Sept. 2 opener at Hawaii. But questions abounded. For example: Whats going on with the offense? On a day when USC did not tackle to avoid injuries, Matt Barkley had a pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Mitch Mustain had two passes intercepted, one in his debut against the first-team defense. The offense also fumbled twice but recovered the ball. Ugly, said Mustain, who also passed for two touchdowns. Kiffin, who doubles as the Trojans play-caller, praised the defense but was most happy that no player emerged injured. With less than two weeks before the Trojans depart for Honolulu, Kiffin is still in search of a starting tailback, a No. 2 receiver and healthy guards for the offensive line. He might push it based on Kiffins assessment of the position group. Nobodys the starting tailback, he said. Sophomore receivers Brice Butler and DeVon Flournoy both made impressive one-handed touchdown catches in their bids to start opposite senior Ronald Johnson. Kiffin noted both plays, but wants more consistency from a group that also includes freshmen Robert Woods and Markeith Ambles. Too many mistakes, Kiffin said. We play too slow. Meanwhile, the defense looked fast and dominating behind a front seven that included junior Chris Galippo working as the first-unit middle linebacker. Cornerbacks Shareece Wright and Torin Harris, freshman safety Dion Bailey and defensive lineman Hebron Fangupo intercepted passes. Wright, who returned his 35 yards for a touchdown, said the Trojans defense was coming together but was eager to play a real opponent.

Dodgers game ends with career victories, home runs

AssociAted Press
LOS ANGELES Bronson Arroyo earned his 100th career victory, Joey Votto homered and drove in three runs and the NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 Sunday. The Reds took two of three in the series and held their 3-game division edge over St. Louis. Arroyo (14-7) allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings, striking out six and walking none. The right-hander came in 0-3 with a 5.56 ERA lifetime at Dodger Stadium. Votto hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth and added a two-run single in the ninth. The win put Arroyo one shy of the career-high win total he established in 2008 and equaled last season. At one point, he fanned the heart of the Dodgers lineup Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, James Loney and Casey Blake in succession after giving up a leadoff infield single to Ryan Theriot in the sixth. Kemp homered for Los Angeles first run and A.J. Ellis added an RBI single. Francisco Cordero pitched a perfect ninth for his 34th save in 40 attempts. Clayton Kershaw (11-8) struck out 11, allowing three runs and five hits over seven innings. He threw a career-high 118 pitches. Votto, who came in leading the NL with a .321 batting average, gave the Reds a 3-2 lead in the sixth when he hit his career-high 29th homer. The solo shot broke a 1-all tie and was his first homer in 38 at-bats. The Reds loaded the bases in the ninth against Jonathan Broxton, who fanned pinch-hitter Scott Rolen for the second out of the inning before Votto lined a 3-2 pitch to left field to increase his RBI total to 86, three shy of league leader Albert Pujols. Brandon Phillips opened the game with a single against Kershaw, who has failed to pitch a 1-2-3 first inning in any of his 26 starts this season. The 22-yearold lefty walked Votto and Jonny Gomes with one out, then gave up a two-run single by Ryan Hanigan with two out. The Dodgers, coming off their first four-homer game since opening day, struck back in the second when Kemp hit his 21st.
