Lew Perkins was going to conclude his tenure as Kansas
athletics director on an early September afternoon. That
much went according to plan. That he hit the mark a year
early caught some by surprise.
On Tuesday Perkins and Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little announced his retirement effective immediately.
Sean Lester, formerly senior associate
athletics director, was named interim
athletics director while the University
searches for Perkins successor.
I was shocked, Lester said about
being asked by Gray-Little to carry
out Perkins duties. Lester joined
Athletics in September 2003, shortly
after Perkins became athletics director.
He previously spent eight years as a
senior administrator at the University
of Connecticut, where Perkins was athletics director
before coming to Kansas.
Perkins announced in June his intentions to retire, but
said he would remain as athletics director through Sept. 4,
2011. That announcement came a day after the University
cleared Perkins of ethics violations when an internal
investigation found that he did not exchange preferential
seating for exercise equipment.
Perkins attorney, Stephen McAllister, then sent the evi-
dence to the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission.
The commission investigates state employee conflicts
of interest. While the commission cannot comment on
ongoing investigations, McAllister said no decision had
been made.
Last month, Gray-Little informed the Kansas Board of
Regents that she had removed Perkins as chair of Athletics
advisory committee. Perkins was to remain as a member
on the committee.
The terms of Perkins retirement agreement are being
finalized. Perkins will receive a retention payment from
Athletics of $2 million before taxes.
In an Aug. 28 interview with The Kansan, Gray-Little
said her goal is to identify Perkins successor in mid to
late spring.
In an informal way the process has already begun,
Gray-Little said. People have already started identifying
themselves or having recommendations.
The University released a second statement from Gray-
Little following Tuesdays press conference that outlined
the search process. She said she expected to name a com-
mittee of five to six members by the end of next week.
Gray-Little identified the middle or latter part of the
spring semester as her goal for naming the schools new
athletics director.
While Lester said he would like to be a full-time ath-
letics director at some point, he only intends to do so at
Kansas in an interim role.
While I am confident in Sean Lesters ability to lead

I was more surprised than anything, but based on the circumstances, I
think it might have been the best decision.
My guess is that it [the athletics program] will take a diferent direc-
tion. Hopefully the new AD will help bring us back to the top. But its all
up in the air.
Josey Kruse

KU has defnitely benefted from him. There have been changes in
other aspects of KU sports, so well all get a fresh start together,
she said.
Dyan Penner
Junior from Topeka
KUs sort of at a low point so I think its time for a change. He did some
good things for KU, but I think well be alright without him. Theres only
one way to go: up.
Matt Stickles
Senior from Kilder, Ill.
Its kind of sad [Lews retirement]. He did a pretty good job.
I think were going to go into a downward slope for a while, but it also
completely depends on the AD who replaces Perkins.

Janet Hamburg, an internationally known
dance instructor and greatly admired profes-
sor of dance at the University, died in New
York City on Saturday.
Hamburg spent the last 30 years teaching
at the University of Kansas and was known
for her work as a dance movement analyst.
This is a deep and painful loss for the
university family, Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little said in a press release. Janet
Hamburg was an extraordinary teacher and
researcher who had earned her colleagues
highest respect, here and around the world.
Hamburg joined the KU faculty in 1979
and served as the chair of the dance program
for several years. In 2005 she received a W.T.
Kemper Fellowship for Teaching Excellence.
Mary Sheldon, a senior from Overland
Park who worked with Hamburg in the
department of dance, said she wasnt in any
of Hamburgs classes, but that she was on
a dance scholarship during her freshman
and sophomore years and was familiar with
Hamburg through that. She said Hamburg
cared deeply about finding funding for
the University Dance
Company and for dance
students.
Thats what she was
passionate about, raising
money so students would
be financially able to
dance, Sheldon said.
Sheldon said that
Hamburgs work for dance
students at the University
was her legacy.
I know that shell be greatly missed, she
said. The work that she did for the uni-
versity, for dance scholarship and for dance
education will live on.
Hamburg was dedicated both to her pro-
fession and her service work. Much of her
research work was dedicated to movement
analysis, which resulted in her develop-
ment of an exercise program for people
with Parkinsons disease. She created an
exercise video called Motivating Moves for
People with Parkinsons, which was co-pro-
duced and distributed internationally by the
Parkinsons Disease Foundation in New York
City and recommended by the major nation-
al and regional Parkinsons foundations.
She worked with the Lawrence Parkinsons
Support Group and gave presentations to
other Parkinsons support organizations
across the U.S. She also worked with senior
adults and with children suffering from
coordination and sensorimotor problems,
according to the release.
Hamburg taught in the Bill Evans Summer
Institutes of Dance and was frequently a
guest instructor at the Juilliard School of
Music, the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of
Movement Studies and the Sports Training
Institute in New York City. She was a core
faculty member of the New Mexico Laban

GREEK LIFE
Pledge sues San Jose State sorority for being hazed
Mcclatchy-tribune
SAN JOSE, Calif. When honor
student Courtney Howard pledged
to join a sorority at San Jose State
University, she sought the support
of close sisters in the schools small
African-American community.
Instead, what she got was ritual-
ized hazing that included a nearly
month-long string of beatings,
punching, kicking and paddling,
according to a lawsuit filed in Santa
Clara County Superior Court this
week an episode that experts say
is far too common among African-
American Greek organizations.
Howard, 20, has sued eight
students, the Sigma Gamma Rho
Sorority and the university, saying
it failed to investigate and protect
her from retaliation by sorority
members after reporting the 2008
incident. She has since withdrawn
from SJSU and transferred to the
University of Southern California,
saying she didnt feel safe.
There was physical violence,
said Howards attorney, Angela
Reddock of Los Angeles. Howard is
seeking unspecified damages. Any
number of steps could have been
taken by the university to change
her living situation and provide
security, but that did not happen.
In one instance, Howard said
she and two other pledges were
blindfolded and taken to Princess
Odoms San Jose backyard, where
they were sprayed with a hose.
In another, they were hit on their
hands and knuckles with a wooden
spoon. Later they were slammed
into walls, hit with a kitchen pot
and punched in the stomach.
After the hazing, then being
stalked and threatened, she feared
for her life and did not believe she
would survive if she returned to the
university.
Founded in 1922 in the midst
of segregation, Sigma Gamma Rho
was created to enhance the quality
of college life through public ser-
vice and leadership development.
According to its website, the soror-
ity has 500 chapters with 90,000
members, including former U.S.
Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., U.S.
Rep. Corrine Claiborne Boggs,
D-La., and many prominent musi-
cians, actresses and writers.
In 1989, Morehouse College
sophomore Joel Harris died after
suffering numerous blows to the
chest and face, a custom known as
thunder and lightning. The fra-
ternity Alpha Phi Alphawhose
historical roster includes Martin
Luther King Jr. and Thurgood
Marshallsettled for $500,000.

Masturbation, homosexuality
and the open discussion of sexual
experiences.
These and similar topics fill the
curriculum of a human sexuality
course offered at the Ecumenical
Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread
Ave. Human Sexuality in Everyday
Life, for which the ECM suggests
students pay $50-100, will be offered
every Thursday at 6 p.m., starting
tomorrow. Students can register for
the class at the ECM anytime before
Thursday.
Ali Free, a member of the ECMs
sexual education committee, said
the courses topics were no longer
taboo and should never be embar-
rassing to talk about.
Its about growing as a sexual
human being like as you would
in any other way of your life,
said Free, a sophomore from Blue
Springs, Mo.
She said the class taught students
the aspects of sex that were never
taught in high schools.
Sex education in schools, if
youre lucky enough to get any-
thing, is usually just cold and not
personal, Free said.
Dennis Dailey, a semi-retired
professor of social welfare, will
teach the nine-session course. He
said students needed to understand
their sexuality in order to find more
self-fulfillment.
Most students have zip for sex
education, Dailey said. A lot of
them dont have a good, sound
understanding of what a healthy,
ongoing, meaningful sexual rela-
tionship is.
The only sexual education that
Chelsea Johnson, a junior from
Lawrence, received was from her
parents. She said it was awkward
because they didnt understand how
to teach it. After she attended a
human sexuality course at the ECM
last year, however, she was able to
openly talk about a formerly taboo
word: sex.
Johnson said the class turned
out to be the best decision of her
life, teaching her that a persons sex-
uality affects attitude, self-esteem
and interaction among peers.
I never realized how much sexu-
ality had an impact on my everyday
life, Johnson said.
In past years, the course was
offered in the spring. Dhyana Coil,
chair of the ECMs sexuality educa-
tion committee, said the committee
made the switch to fall to get stu-
dents involved early in the year. She
said the class also helped students
learn how to navigate the many
negative aspects of sexuality such as
cultural pressures, confining gender
roles, the high instances of rape
among college populations and the
high divorce rate.
We are hoping it will enrich stu-
dents lives by giving them the tools
to maintain healthy relationships
with themselves and their partners
throughout life, Coil said.

Court decides in
favor of Eminem
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
DETROIT In a develop-
ment that could have fallout
in the world of digital music,
Eminem stands to gain tens of
millions of dollars in a federal
court decision handed down
Friday.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals unanimously reversed
a 2009 federal jury decision in
a lawsuit filed by Ferndales FBT
Productions, Eminems former
production company, against
his label, Aftermath Records.
The jury had ruled in favor of
Aftermath and its parent com-
pany, Universal Music Group.
This potentially readjusts the
economics between the artist
and the record company, and
thats been long overdue, said
FBT manager Joel Martin. It
puts Eminem in a position he
should (have) been in to begin
with, which is to receive a larger
portion of the download royal-
ties.
The suit sought damages for
songs and ringtones sold via
iTunes and other online servic-
es, claiming that Universal had
applied an improper royalties
scheme. Eminem is one of the
eras top-selling digital artists.
Song download sales from this
years Recovery album top 6.3
million, according to Nielsen
Soundscan.

Boehners krane kick would

In a world where right is lef,
up is down and spending money

is reckless, Republicans have
perfected their special move,
their fnisher: just repeat
fabrications over and over
until, presto, they become facts
move perfected by Bushs
handlers, Dick Cheney and Karl
Rove.
Within this Bizarro world,
wins for Obama are getting
tougher and tougher. Obama
settled for claiming a campaign
promise, rather than a victory.
And he stayed away from
declaring mission accomplished.
Afer seven years of war,
more than 4,400 casualties
and nearly a trillion dollars,
Obama was unable to declare
victory because Iraq remains
in disarray. Democracy in Iraq
is as fragile as its government.
Security forces are unable
to fully secure the country.
Gunmen and bombers take
potshots at innocent civilians.
And many are forced to live
without basic needs, such as
clean water and electricity.
When asked if the Iraq war
was worth it, Robert Gates, the
secretary of defense, chose to
punt.
It really requires a historians
perspective, he said.
I guess will have to wait for
the history books to tell us how
we mortgaged our childrens
future by overextending
ourselves to promote democracy
around the world (and in
countries that preferred we stay
out) rather than resurrecting
our economy through stimulus
spending.
Of course Republicans would
have you believe the exact
opposite. Tese ninjas are good,
but it gets even better.
While spending an unseemly
amount of money in Iraq, our
infuence is rapidly diminishing.
Kurdish legislator Mahmoud
Othman recently said, Neither
are the Americans very much
concerned about Iraq nor are
Iraqis listening very much to the
Americans.
Te dizzying, mind-numbing
idea that our eforts in Iraq
could possibly bear little fruit-
that fellow Americans fought in
vain because our security was
never really an issue- shocks
slightly less than the fact
Boehner would want his former
colleague to get his proper due.
Boehner is right. Bush should
get credit for the war in Iraq.
We just need to remember why
exactly we are giving him credit.
Heres a hint: Its for the same
reason Obama still distances
himself from the war.
Te war in Iraq was
avoidable. It was based on lies
and misinformation. Tere were
no weapons of mass destruction,
and Saddam Hussein was not
involved with 9/11.
And no amount of political
jujitsu will change that.
So thanks, W. Tanks a lot.

Te Oread Hotel hosted a
number of tailgating events
Saturday, Sept. 4, to kickof the
frst KU football game of the
season. Tis event allowed those of
age to consume alcohol inside and
around the hotels
premises for the
frst time.
Te events
included
appearances by
Baby Jay, Rock
Chalk Dancers,
KU Spirit Squad
and a book
signing with John
Hadl, former KU
quarterback.
Before the tailgate took place,
residents and the University were
apprehensive about the congestion
problems an open tailgate at the
hotel could present, but things
seemed to run smoothly.
Tere was considerable trafc,
but nothing out of the ordinary for
a typical game day in Lawrence.
Fans surrounded the streets, as
well as Te Oread but the crowds
were controlled and tents and
various
entrances
made
the event
feel more
controlled.
Tere
was extra
security
that was
provided
by the hotel
and wristbands were given out to
those of drinking age. As usual,
parking presented a headache, but
the tailgate event did not seem to
add onto the difculty.
Abby Fritts, Prairie Village
Senior, who lives on 12th street,
had concerns about the efect
the event would have on parking
near her house. Fritts said that
her roommates were planning to
sell spots in their lot, but couldnt
because the parking spots had
been blocked of for the event.
Originally, Te Oread was
given a permit was on a trial basis,
to evaluate how the frst event
would go, but according to Megan
Gilliland, City Communications
Manager, the tailgates have been
approved by the city commission
for all home games.
While many were uneasy
about the chaos this event could
produce, Te Oread did a great
job regulating and containing the
crowds.
It turned out to be a fun-flled
event that all-ages could enjoy.

O
ne student told me
recently about www.
ashleymadison.com,
a website that enables people to
find possible sex partners and
goes by the slogan Life is short.
Have an affair.
Although Ive heard about
it before, I just thought it was
another type of dating service
matching people together accord-
ing to mutual interests.
But the student suggested those
kinds of websites may be associ-
ated with a changing culture of
infidelity and divorce and might
make it easier for people to cheat.
The Internet has made life a lot
easier, from getting information
to shopping to socializing. But
does the Internet actually change
our behavioral and emotional
patterns?
A recent University of Michi-
gan study cited in The Kansan
suggests that social media have
made college students less empa-
thetic to other peoples feelings.
Could that be related to our
relationship patterns as well? Are
we cheating and divorcing more
than any generation before us
because it is easier to find people
to cheat with?
Betsey Stevenson, assistant
professor of the University of
Pennsylvania, studied divorce
rates from the 1970s to the 1990s
and found that divorce numbers
have steadily declined from 23 to
16 percent in the first ten years of
marriage.
That runs counter to the as-
sumption that we treat marriages
and divorces today more casually
than in previous decades.
Benedict Carey and Tara
Parker-Pope from The New York
Times suggest that our view of
marriage has indeed changed, but
not negatively.
Couples today take marriage
more seriously and wait longer
until they decide to bond for life.
When thinking about divorce,
they also take more time and use
counseling before making the
final decision.
Even if a spouse has cheated,
76 percent of men and women
are still together or married
years later, according to a survey
conducted by Peggy Vaughan,
researcher and administrator of
dearpeggy.com.
What about our cheating
culture? Having sex outside of the
relationship has always been part
of human relationships in many
cultures, Carey and Parker-Pope
write in the Times article.
Associating it with an easier
access to possible partners would
not work in other countries where
Internet is not as widely available
but cheating is prevalent.
One survey at the University of
Vermont found that a stunning 98
percent of men and 80 percent of
women in relationships fantasize
about having sex with a person
other than their partner. This be-
comes even more likely the longer
the relationship lasts.
That doesnt mean that they
would actually do it, but it
indicates how natural the idea of
cheating is to us.
Just to be clear: Im not ad-
vocating cheating in any form.
Besides being a nice fantasy,
cheating in real life hurts people
and relationships.
If a person decides to cheat,
that person also decides to jeopar-
dize his or her partners trust and
wreak emotional havoc if the
cheating comes out.

dent from Cracow, Poland, in

sgray@kansan.com
With the start of the fall semes-
ter, the Parking and Transit
Department began enforcing its
new moped policies on campus.
There were several changes
made to the Universitys moped
regulations this year. The regula-
tions were all authorized by the
Parking Commission, a stand-
ing committee of the University
Senate. In past years, moped users
were able to park at the bike racks
and on sidewalks close to build-
ings. Now mopeds must be parked
in designated zones around cam-
pus. Additionally, mopeds are
no longer allowed on Jayhawk
Boulevard between the traffic-
controlled hours of 7:45 a.m. to 5
p.m. on weekdays.
Sachi Sakumura, a senior from
Lawrence, said she didnt under-
stand why the changes are neces-
sary.
I understand why they dont let
cars drive on campus during class,
as it inhibits the bus routes, she
said. But mopeds dont really get
in the way of anything. You should
be able to park it wherever as long
as you have a permit for it.
Donna Hultine, director of
Parking and Transit, said the pol-
icy was revised because of pedes-
trian safety concerns.
Most of the concern amounted
from people who had experienced
a moped driving in front of them
or cutting them off on a sidewalk,
she said. A lot of moped users
simply didnt walk their moped up
to the bike racks.
Although there was already a
rule that no moped could operate
on sidewalks or lawns on campus,
the commission decided to imple-
ment the parking changes to pre-
vent the possibility of a pedestrian
collision.
To many moped drivers, these
new rules take away the primary
appeal of mopeds: convenience.
To other drivers, the new rules
are creating another issue: more
limited car parking.
The commission also aims to
further reduce traffic on Jayhawk
Boulevard.
In finding space for the new
moped parking areas, the Parking
and Transit Department convert-
ed 112 car-parking spaces to 262
moped spaces, a decision that has
drawn some criticism from car
users.
Many dont think the parking
spots are being used the way that
they should. In some cases, there
have even been complaints that
prime parking spots have been
converted, Hultine said. Its def-
initely a candidate for change in
the future.
Angela Lumpkin, exercise sci-
ences professor and member of
the Parking Commission, said
there were opportunities for stu-
dent input before any decisions
were made.
A moped riders group was
involved with the identification
of parking spaces and for ways
to resolve any issues, Lumpkin
said. But, all of the interests of
the entire community were con-
sidered and weighed to make the
best decisions possible.
As more students use mopeds
for a cost-effective method of
transportation, there is also an
increasing amount of student
parking violations on campus.
Currently, the fines for not hav-
ing a moped parking permit and
for parking in the wrong zone
are $20 each. An e-mail has been
sent out to moped users about the
location of the parking areas and
the new rules, but many users are
still parking in bike racks without
permits.
Steven Heger, a senior from
Maize and a moped user, is a
critic of the new regulations and
said he didnt understand the rea-
soning behind the commissions
decisions.
I feel that nothing was accom-
plished by this, Heger said. I still
see people parking at bike racks,
and there have been car parking
spots lost to this new rule.
A total of 28 locations have
been created for moped riders on
campus. However, the zones are
not permanent and can easily be
converted back to car stalls. Since
this is a new approach to moped
parking, Parking and Transit is
still in the experimental stages of
determining best locations.
Although there has been a lot
of criticism of the revised policy,
Hultine said the feedback would
only help the Parking and Transit
Department reach a better bal-
ance.
Its certainly a work in progress
and it will be tweaked as the year
goes on, Hultine said.

Mopeds equal mo problems for parking department

KU remains bedbug free, despite nationwide infestation
BY JONATHAN SHORMAN
jshorman@kansan.com
New York City. Minneapolis. Las
Vegas. Theyve all been bitten by a
recent rise in bedbug populations.
Despite the nationwide prob-
lem, the KU community has so far
escaped an infestation.
That doesnt mean student hous-
ing is unprepared, however.
Housing has a multi-step pro-
tocol in place for any reported
cases of bedbugs, said Jennifer
Wamelink, associate director for
residence life.
The protocol, which has been
in place for three years, says if a
student reports bedbugs, the liv-
ing area is checked. If a bedbug is
found, then the area is inspected
by the Douglas County Extension
and students and their belongings
are relocated in a way that ensures
moved materials are bedbug free.
Wamelink said there had been
no confirmed cases of bedbugs
since the protocols introduction.
In addition to the protocol,
Housing conducts an educational
campaign each year before winter
break, Wamelink said, to educate
students on the danger of bedbugs
and to help prevent students from
bringing bedbugs back with them
when they return to campus.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control, bedbugs are diffi-
cult to control, in part because they
hide easily and are also resistant
to many kinds of pesticides. Bites
are similar to those of mosquitoes
or fleas.
Students living in off-campus
housing can also take steps to lower
the possibility of bedbug infesta-
tions, including vacuuming, seal-
ing cracks and crevices and tidy-
ing up messy areas where bedbugs
could hide. Any used furniture
should also be inspected for signs
of bedbugs before being brought
into a house or apartment, said a
press release from the CDC.
Nick Fleer, a junior from
Overland Park, lives off campus
and isnt worried about the threat
of bedbugs.
Not at all. Not one little bit,
Fleer said.
If students visit hotels or motels
in Kansas, their rooms might not
have received the same care. A
Kansas Department of Agriculture
(KDA) program that inspected
lodgings for cleanliness includ-
ing bedbugs was suspended at
the end of 2009 because of budget
cuts.
Lisa Taylor, public information
officer for KDA, said the agency
was working to restore the pro-
gram. On July 1, a new fund was
created where money from lodging
license fees will be deposited. The
deposited money will be used to
fund inspectors, but because fees
are not due until the end of the
year, there isnt enough money yet
to restart the program. The new
program will likely launch next
year.

In the closing moments of the
Kansas football teams 6-3 loss to
North Dakota State on Saturday
night, the home of the Jayhawks
turned into a house of boo birds.
As the game wound down,
the only cheers that emanated
from Memorial Stadiums crowd
of more than 48,000 were from
the minority of Bison support-
ers and jaded Jayhawk fans when
junior tight end Tim Biere was
benched.
I think its crazy, said junior
wide receiver
D a y m o n d
P a t t e r s o n .
S ome t i me s
people have
bad games
The fans or
people on the
outside dont
know what we
go through and
the hours we
put in. For them to boo, I felt bad,
because Tim is a good guy.
Even with a win still in reach,
many frustrated fans booed when
a screen pass to senior wide
receiver Johnathan Wilson went
for negative yardage.
We heard it, said senior run-
ning back Angus Quigley. We
try to turn the other cheek on
boos because those are our fans.
It always hurts because we would
hope the fans have a little more
faith in us as a football team, but
we played terrible.
Quigley, a team captain and
sixth-year senior, is witnessing
how the more positive-minded
Turner Gill regime is dealing
with its first adversity. Still, he
and many of the fans remem-
ber the Orange Bowl victory just
three seasons
ago. The fact
that the fans
have height-
ened expec-
tations could
be a silver
lining to the
boos he heard
Saturday.
If theyre
booing, it
means they have better expecta-
tions for us, Quigley said. If they
didnt boo, the stadium would
have been empty. They would
have just left if they didnt care.
Senior cornerback Chris Harris
recorded four tackles and had the
defenses only sack an 11-yard
loss that stopped a Bison drive
on third down. The only way
to silence the critics is by meet-
ing and exceeding expectations,
Harris said.
You never want to hear boos,
especially on your home field,
Harris said. Its unfortunate that
we didnt go out there and play to
the best of our abilities as a team.
We have to go out this week and
do better.
The Jayhawks have an oppor-
tunity to silence the critics as
soon as this Saturday when
nationally ranked Georgia Tech
visits Lawrence. Though the team
surprised everyone in a negative
way by losing to the Mountain
Valley Conferences Bison, they
have a chance to pleasantly sur-
prise their fan base against the
defending ACC champion Yellow
Jackets.
It would definitely change the
mood around here, Harris said.
It would add some confidence
to this team. We just have to go
out there this week and get better
at our job.

Even Sean Lester was taken
aback by his selection as inter-
im athletics director at the
University of Kansas.
When you get a call to go visit
with the chancellor, you dont
know what its about, Lester
said. Then when she asks you
that question its a little surpris-
ing. I look forward to meeting
with her later so we can talk
more about it.
Lester said that sometime
before 4 p.m. on Tuesday,
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little called him into her office.
It was during this meeting that
Gray-Little told him that Lew
Perkins was retiring effective
immediately and offered Lester
the position as interim athletics
director.
Lester worked with Perkins
since 1996, save for a brief stint
as a sales manager for Clear
Channel Communications. He
made the move to Kansas in
September 2003 when Perkins
was hired as athletics director.
Since that time, he has served as
senior associate athletics direc-
tor.
Everybody in the department
knows how much Sean has done
since he has been here and knows
how much Lew has leaned on
him and knows what a huge role
he has played in everything thats
been going on with our depart-
ment, coach Bill Self said.
Coach Ritch Price has worked
alongside Lester for the last four
or five years while Lester has
been the sports supervisor for the
baseball team. Price said its easy
to see similarities between Lester
and Perkins.
I think one of the great things
that both men bring to the table
is that both of them bring great
passion to their job, Price said.
Both men have great work
ethic. Seans work ethic is off the
charts.
Enthusiastic praise was the
tone of the day when it came to
Lester, from Self and Price to Jim
Marchiony, associate athletics
director of external relations.
The athletics staff will not
miss a beat, Marchiony said. We
have a terrific staff here. Were
excited about the future. Weve
all worked with Sean for several
years, and were excited to move
forward.
Lester will likely be a candidate
to be the next athletics director,
but he insists that is not his pri-
mary focus.
Right now my focus is just
on leadership within the depart-
ment, Lester said. I would love
to be an AD somewhere. No
question about it. And if thats
Kansas, its Kansas. But right now
my mission is interim AD for the
University of Kansas.
Lester and Self both men-
tioned the chancellors plan to
find a new athletics director, but
neither offered any particular
details. Self said, regardless of
what happens, he was looking
forward.
Part of me is also very excited
about the future and about the
direction in which were going,
Self said. And Sean is obviously
the first step in that.

Perkins has
a legacy
of success
and drama
BY nIcOLAs ROEsLER
nroesler@kansan.com
T
he last year of Lew Perkins
career was such a fiasco,
we could call him Lupe.
Regretfully, the chance to call him
that has passed, along with Perkins
time here at Kansas.
Sure, he wasnt a famous rapper,
but he was a superstar. Perkins was
the reason that Kansas Athletics
grew into a program to be envious
of.
Yes, Kansas Athletics is worthy
of envy. The whole company. And
mostly because of Perkins.
Perkins built football facilities
that could recruit players from all
across the country. He remodeled
Hoglund Ballpark and renovated
Allen Fieldhouse into one of the
most technologically advanced col-
lege basketball venues.
In all, Perkins upgrades and
reconstructions totaled close to $150
million.
Anyone can walk around cam-
pus and see the results of his work.
Coach Bill Self gave his respects at
a press conference yesterday, saying
that despite the difficult decisions
that faced Perkins, his presence will
not be forgotten.
Self said that Perkins made deci-
sions that took a special kind of
strong-willed person, and if Perkins
hadnt made those improvements
when he did, the face of Kansas
Athletics would never have reached
what it is today.
Despite the fact that last year was
full of drama worthy of a CW series,
all students and alumni should
respect Perkins for how he handled
everything. But more importantly,
for the legacy he created here as the
athletics director.
Coach Ritch Price said that all
athletics at the University will miss
Perkins. Price said that what Perkins
did for the budget of the Athletics
Department allowed virtually all
sports to grow.
The respect from fans could be
seen at competitions from baseball
to football when people would chant
Lew! as he walked by. Price said
Perkins was unique because he got
to know the student athletes. He
traveled with them during NCAA
tournaments and would even share
meals with them.
He has a relationship with them,
Price said. I think there are a lot
of athletics directors in the country
where student athletes have never
even met the athletics director.
I remember in 2007 seeing
Perkins walking on South Beach
during the Orange Bowl, joking
around with the football players
while he smoked a cigar in his bath-
ing suit and sun hat. The guy was
fun. The guy was full of energy. The
guy was just a laugh to look at.
He was bigger than half of the
football team and could hit them
on the shoulder with no fear of a
payback punch. He was Lew. And he
was bigger than you.
Just like the memories I have of
him at the Orange Bowl, alumni
and students alike should only hold
Perkins in the fondness of their
memories.
Speculations of why he retired at
this point are bound to explode, and
I question the timing as well. But
dont let the accusations stain his
legacy here.
Self said Perkins was leaving con-
tent with his decision and excited for
the future. Lets try to look forward
with excitement as well.

More AP Top 25 voters are buy-
ing into Boise State as the No. 1
team in the country.
Boise State gained seven first-
place votes and closed in on No.
1 Alabama and No. 2 Ohio State
as the top three teams in the first
regular season Associated Press
football poll held their spots from
the preseason.
The Broncos remained third
after a thrilling 33-30 victory
against Virginia Tech on Monday
night, receiving eight first-place
votes and 1,399 points from the
media panel, 13 points behind the
Buckeyes.
Ohio State received four first-
place votes and 1,412 points.
Alabama had 47 first-place
votes, down seven from the pre-
season poll, and 1,484 points in the
rankings released Tuesday.
TCU from the Mountain West
Conference moved up two spots
to No. 4, marking the first time
since the Bowl Championship
Series was implemented in 1998
that two teams from conferences
without automatic BCS bids have
been in the top five. Boise State
is the defending Western Athletic
Conference champion.
Texas remained No. 5 and
received one first-place vote.
No. 8 Florida dropped four
spots after a sloppy 34-12 victory
against Miami (Ohio) and No. 10
Oklahoma fell three places after
beating Utah State 31-24.
The rest of the top 10 is Nebraska
at No. 6, followed by Oregon,
which moved up four spots after
beating New Mexico 72-0. Iowa
is No. 9.
No. 13 Virginia Tech dropped
three spots after Boise State scored
a touchdown with 1:09 left to
beat the Hokies at FedEx Field in
Landover, Md.
Falling out of the rankings after
close opening losses were Oregon
State, Pittsburgh and North
Carolina. Moving in were No. 20
Utah, No. 24 South Carolina and
No. 25 Stanford.
But the big story is Boise State
and the Broncos very well could
be the talk of college football all
season.
They entered Monday with
their best preseason ranking and
a legitimate chance to be national
championship contenders if
they could beat the Hokies and
then flawlessly navigate a schedule
with no games more difficult than
the first.
Boise State jumped to a 17-0
first-quarter lead, watched that
lead evaporate, then needed a two-
minute drill capped by a 13-yard
touchdown pass from Kellen
Moore to Austin Pettis to win its
15th straight game.
This was no fluke, said voter
Brett McMurphy of AOL Fanhouse,
who had Boise State No. 1 this
week. (The Broncos) outgained
Virginia Tech and hung 33 on the
Hokies. The last two teams to score
more than 30 against (defensive
coordinator) Bud Fosters defense
Alabama in 2009 and LSU in
2007 went on to win the nation-
al title.
Will Boise? Who knows, but
the Broncos deserve the top rank-
ing for this week anyway.
The Broncos have finished the
last two regular seasons with per-
fect records, but neither time was it
enough to earn them a spot in the
national championship game. They
were beaten out by teams from the
so-called power conferences with
BCS automatic bids, teams like
Alabama from the Southeastern
Conference and Ohio State from
the Big Ten.
This season could be different.
Boise State doesnt have to climb
over scores of teams to get into
position to contend for a spot in
the BCS title game, spots deter-
mined in large part by the coaches
poll and the Harris poll.
Boise State was third in the
coaches poll this week, moving up
two spots. The coaches also had
Alabama first and Ohio State sec-
ond. The Harris poll is not released
until October.
Weve just got a long tough
hard season, and the bulls-eye will
continue to grow, and its just going
to be one game at a time, coach
Chris Petersen said.

here is the right place to make
a pre-game speech when
coach isnt allowed in the
locker room?
Natalie Randolph is a woman and also the
new head football coach at Calvin Coolidge
Senior High School in Washington, D.C..
Sure, theres never been a female football
coach for high school boys before. And sure,
there are doubters everywhere, from parents
to newspaper readers to now-transferred
players. But that doesnt stop Randolph from
firing up her football team like Mike Ditka
on a Sunday in 85.
ESPNs Outside the Lines recently docu-
mented the science teacher-turned-coachs
tale. The pieces one-on-one interview
depicts everything that one might expect
out of someone, well, completely dissociated
from football, actually.
Randolphs voice squeaks and chimes.
Her hair beams from a golden dye. Her ear-
rings glisten and her demeanor is upbeat
and peppy. And her goal is clear: academics,
then football.
All of the other candidates promised me
a winning season, jackets and all, Coolidge
principal Thelma Jarrett said. Im thinking,
thats not what I want.
Randolph impressed Jarrett with a seven-
point academic plan that included progress
reports, behavior contracts and a list of con-
sequences for disobedience.
Alas, the hiring of Randolph came with
many of the hardships of a pioneer.
After showering her starting quarterback
with tutorials and an expensive visit to a
summer passing camp (funded by alumni
donations), he transferred to a rival school.
So did many others. They simply didnt
think they could win with Randolph, a
woman, at the helm.
I knew that was going to happen,
Randolph said. Its a mans sport so far.
But others are going along with the new
script and it just might pay off. Team cap-
tain and national merit scholar Daniel West
pushed his skepticism aside. He now plans
to apply to Yale and Columbia to play foot-
ball.
She could care less if we won a game, she
just wanted me to do something with my
life, West said.
District coaching legend Bob Headen,
who has sent 14 players to the NFL, was also
impressed with Randolphs tale. At age 70,
Headen came out of retirement to become a
part of her staff.
When you look at this young lady,
Headen said, youre looking at history.
Randolph also has more of a football
mind than you might think. Randolph can
describe the periodic table in a flash and
walk you through the Krebs Cycle with ease,
but she also knows about X receivers, men
in motion and 3-4 defenses. After all, she
once kicked some serious ass playing for
the D.C. Divas of the Independent Womens
Football League.
Then known for her speed and special
teams savvy, Randolph claims that she
couldnt have even become a science teacher
without playing first.
Football was her confidence booster, and
now its her trail to blaze.
All theres left to do is ...win one for the
gipp-ette.

Selby attends class,

Josh Selby attended classes at
the University of Kansas for the
frst time Tuesday, even though
hes still not cleared to play for the
Jayhawks. Coach Bill Self said he
hoped some-
thing can be fg-
ured out within
the week.
Im hoping
that we know
something
sooner rather
than later,Self
said. Sooner
would be this week.
The talented freshman was
rated No. 1 overall by Rivals.com,
but his amateur status is up in the
air because of a relationship with
Robert BayFrazier, the manager
of the NBAs Carmelo Anthony, all
of whom are from Baltimore. The
questions about the relationship
revolve around whether Selby has
entered into an illegal verbal agree-
ment to hire Frazier as his manager
when he enters the NBA.
I anticipated that there could be
a situation where things could be
looked into, absolutely. No ques-
tion,Self said. But I didnt think it
was going to last until after classes
had started.

Stoops concerned with teams start
Mcclatchy-tribune
NORMAN, Okla. Oklahoma
coach Bob Stoops said the offense
was vanilla in the season opener
against Utah State.
That will change this week
when the Sooners host No. 20
Florida State.
Our play (offensively) was
uneven, not where we want it to
be, but I will say we held quite
a few things that we didnt show
that weve been working on which
didnt help us, Stoops said Tuesday
at his weekly press conference.
But we didnt execute as well in
some areas as we should have.
Opening up the playbook might
help Landry Jones who didnt play
well in a 31-24 win over Utah
State.
Since Jones completed only 47.2
percent of his passes and threw
two interceptions, Stoops was
asked if hes concerned about his
sophomore quarterback.
Im concerned with the way
everybody played, Stoops said.
Thats my job to be concerned
and try work practice in a way to
help you improve. But Ive seen
Landry play a good number of
games now. I have great confi-
dence in him, the worker he is,
the competitor he is. Hes going to
continue to grow and play well.
In his opening statement Stoops
said there were a lot of positives
on offense.
We ran the ball really well
most of the night, although there
were some occasions we were get-
ting three or four yards that we
felt the way they were playing us
we should have been getting eight
or nine, Stoops said. Those are
things were trying to work on.
A few times Landry aborted
protection when it was there and
got a little bit hurried or rushed
for whatever reasons. Landry is
a sharp guy, a smart guy and has
played a lot. Im sure hell get
back in the swing of things, see it
and continue to make good, solid
improvement.
Defensively the Sooners allowed
421 total yards but 320 came on 12
plays.
In the secondary we were in
position to make some plays,
Stoops said. A couple of times we
were get our back turned to the
quarterback and not make a play.
That shouldnt happen. Youve got
to be in position to play the ball.
Another time or two we bit
on a stop route and they turned
up on us. Jamell (Fleming) one
time got beat on a bump-and-run
fade route. But the rest of the
night Jamell broke up four or five
passes, has an interception and 10
tackles. But thats the life of a DB.
You can do everything great all
night and have one bad play and it
sticks out to everybody.
But Ive seen these guys all
make these plays before. They
were in position to make them
which is a plus. You have to be
able to finish on a few of them and
play the ball better.

Minnesota eases
past Royals 10-3
Phillies inches into NL East lead
aSSOciateD PreSS
MINNEAPOLIS Jim Thome
hit another towering homer,
Delmon Young drove in four runs
and the Minnesota Twins beat
the Kansas City Royals 10-3 on
Tuesday night to take their largest
AL Central lead in 10 days.
Francisco Liriano (13-7) raised
his second-half record to 7-0 in
10 starts, giving up seven hits and
two runs in seven easy innings.
J.J. Hardy had three RBIs for the
Twins, who scored six times in
the third against Brian Bannister
(7-12) and moved 4 games ahead
of Chicago in the division race.
The White Sox lost to Detroit
9-1, ending their seven-game win-
ning streak. The Twins have won
five straight, 10 of their last 12 and
33 of 45.
After one-run decisions in eight
of their last nine games, winning
six of those tight ones, the Twins
were eager for a breather. Thats
exactly what they got, thanks to
Young and Hardy at the bottom of
the lineup.
Manager Ron Gardenhire was
able to take some of his regulars
out early, and newly recalled reliev-
ers Glen Perkins and Pat Neshek
worked an inning apiece.
The Royals lead the majors with
53 one-run games, just ahead of the
Twins 49.
Bannister lasted only 2 2/3
innings. All seven runs against him
scored with two outs, with Jason
Kubel, Young and Hardy delivering
the RBIs in the third. After tailing
off following his torrid July, Young
bounced back in a big way.
Thome has been steady all sea-
son long.
Just seconds after the White Sox
score flashed final, he went deep
in the sixth inning on a 3-2 count
to make it 10-2. This was Thomes
22nd homer of the season, esti-
mated by the teams media relations
staff at 452 feet. It tied him with
Frank Robinson for eighth place on
the career list with 586.
The ball soared over right field
and past the American flag, trav-
eling to almost exactly the same
place his estimated 480-foot shot
landed in Mondays game against
the Royals. Thome has four home
runs in his last three games.
After a little prompting from the
Target Field crowd, Thome stepped
out of the dugout and waved to
the fans.
Josh Fields hit his first homer
for the Royals after hitting 31 in
stints with the White Sox over the
last four seasons, and Alex Gordon
made a diving catch in left field to
steal a hit from Orlando Hudson
for the first out of the fateful third
inning.
But that was about all the Royals
had to be happy about. They fell
to a season-high 24 games out
of first place and a season-high 24
games under .500 (57-81).

PHILADELPHIA Placido
Polanco hit a tiebreaking single
in the eighth inning and the
Philadelphia Phillies beat the
Florida Marlins 8-7 Tuesday night
to move into first place in the NL
East.
The Phillies moved a half-game
ahead of Atlanta, which lost 5-0 in
Pittsburgh. The two-time defend-
ing NL champions hadnt been in
first place since May 30. Theyre
seeking their fourth straight divi-
sion title.
Ryan Howard, Raul Ibanez and
Shane Victorino each hit a solo
homer for the Phillies, who were
seven games behind the Braves
on July 22.
After the Marlins rallied to tie
it at 7 in the eighth, the Phillies
answered with two outs in the
bottom half. Victorino blooped
a single to center off Jose Veras
(2-2). He stole second and scored
on Polancos liner to right.
Ryan Madson (5-2) got the last
four outs to earn the win.
Phillies starter Joe Blanton
allowed four runs two earned
and six hits in 6 1/3 innings.
Mike Stanton homered for the
third straight game for Florida.
Marlins starter Chris Volstad gave
up five runs and nine hits in five
innings.
A crowd of 43,841 was the
113th straight sellout at Citizens
Bank Park, and fans did some
scoreboard watching in case the
Phillies werent paying atten-
tion. When the Pirates took a 1-0
lead over the Braves in the seventh
inning at Pittsburgh, fans clapped.
They cheered louder when it
became 3-0 minutes later.
Down 7-4, the Marlins rallied
against three relievers with help
from the sloppy Phillies in the
eighth.
Stanton led off with a homer
against Jose Contreras. With two
outs and Brad
Davis on sec-
ond, Emilio
Bonifacio sin-
gled. Davis was
held at third,
but he scored
on right fielder
Jayson Werths
throwing error.
B o n i f a c i o
advanced to
second on the throw, got balked to
third by J.C. Romero and scored
on Madsons wild pitch to tie it
at 7.
Blanton left after walking
Bonifacio in the seventh. Antonio
Bastardo came in to face Logan
Morrison, who lined an RBI dou-
ble to center to cut it to 5-4.
Morrison advanced to third on
second baseman Chase Utleys
throwing error. But Chad Durbin
came in and retired Hanley
Ramirez on a foul pop. After Dan
Uggla walked, Gaby Sanchez flied
out to end the inning.
Jimmy Rollins, batting fifth for
the second straight game instead
of his usual leadoff spot, hit a
sacrifice fly in the bottom half.
Ibanez then tripled in a run to
make it 7-4.
Down 3-1, the Phillies used the
long ball to take the lead.
Ibanez hit an opposite-field
drive to left-
center in
the fourth.
Victorino led
off the fifth
with a drive
to the seats in
right to tie it.
Two outs later,
Howard con-
nected to make
it 4-3.
Howards opposite-field shot off
Volstad was his sixth homer off
the righty. Hes 11 for 23 against
him.
Rollins followed Howards 27th
homer with a single. After he stole
second, Ibanez singled him in for
a 5-3 lead.
Rollins lined an RBI single for a
1-0 lead in the second.
Helped by Blantons fielding
error, the Marlins scored two
unearned runs to take a 2-1 lead
in the third.

Blue Raiders kill Jayhawks hopes of perfect season
See a photo gallery from the game at kansan.com/photogalleries
Te Jayhawks undefeated streak
was stopped at seven on Tuesday
night when they were swept by the
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders.
Te game was close early on, but
signs of trouble were apparent.
Te ofensive plays so efective
in the past- organized by the setter
Kara Wehrs and the outside hitters
Allison Mayfeld and Karina Gar-
lington were unraveled at the net
by Middle Tennessee blockers who
always seemed to be at the right
place at the right time.
Coach Ray Bechard said about
this blocking efort, Tey put up a
pretty organized block, because, of-
fensively, we were very predictable.
Because we did not pass the ball to
where we had
options. When
systems-ofense
becomes pre-
dictable, thats
whats going to
happen.
Gar l i ngt on
said of Middle
Te n n e s s e e s
players, Teyre
super physical.
And they had a
good game plan
on us. So, thats up to the Jayhawks
to respond to that. Tey put up a
big block, but were going to see
that in the Big 12, so, I mean, it was
a good learning opportunity for us
and its a disappointment.
Te Middle Tennessee ofense
delivered 19 kills, led by senior
outside hitter Izabela Kozon, who
racked up eight of her own. Te
Jayhawks only registered 10 kills
and lost the frst set 25-19.
Tings only got worse in the
second set. Te Blue Raiders
picked up steam, raising their
attack percentage to .478, com-
pared with a .037 percentage for
the Jayhawks. Te Blue Raiders
did not fall for fakes, they kept up
pressure at the net and they kept
three outside hitters on duty by
scoring kills all night.
Sophomore middle blocker
Tayler Tolefree said, Tey were
better than us tonight. Tey
brought it, and we didnt re-
spond.
Te Jayhawks staged a rally in
the third set
and tied the
score 18-18.
But the Raid-
ers pulled
away with a
seven point
run that ended
the set and the
match.
Afer the
game, Bechard
said, We let a
group come in
tonight, we let them be comfort-
able. We let them do what they
wanted to do ofensively, and
they executed at a very high level,
and when it was time to give a little
push back, we didnt do it.

PITTSBURGH James
McDonald pitched seven innings,
Ronny Cedenos triple keyed
a five-run seventh and the last-
place Pittsburgh Pirates beat the
slumping Atlanta Braves for the
second straight day, winning 5-0
on Tuesday night.
The Braves dropped into sec-
ond place in the NL East, one-half
game behind Philadelphia, which
beat Florida 8-7 on Tuesday. The
Braves had been in possession of
the division lead since May 31.
Its easy to find a culprit for the
Braves slide they have scored
only 12 runs while losing five of
six, a slump that followed a five-
game winning streak. The Pirates
had lost seven of nine and were
on pace to lose 109 games before
winning the first two games of the
three-game series.
Tim Hudson (15-7), losing his
second straight after winning six
in a row, held the Pirates to three
hits over six shutout innings, but
he retired only one batter during
the Pirates breakthrough seventh
inning. He was charged with four
runs after pitching 28 consecutive
innings against Pittsburgh without
allowing an earned run.
Garrett Jones and Pedro Alvarez
doubled in succession with one
out for the games first run. After
Ryan Doumit was intentionally
walked, Cedeno tripled off the
right-field wall to make it 3-0.
Hudson left one batter later,
and reliever Eric OFlaherty gave
up pinch-hitter Delwyn Youngs
two-run homer into the left-field
bleachers. Youngs seventh homer
was the Pirates first by a pinch-
hitter in 29 at-bats.
McDonald, the former Dodgers
prospect, made the most effective
of his seven starts with Pittsburgh
and his first against Atlanta, limit-
ing the Braves to five hits.
Joel Hanrahan closed it out in
the ninth following a 43-min-
ute rain delay for his second
save in as many days, and his
fifth in eight opportunities. Evan
Meek pitched a scoreless eighth
as the three pitchers combined for
Pittsburghs sixth shutout. Atlanta
has been shut out 10 times.
The Braves twice looked like
they might break through against
McDonald, who gave up 14 earned
runs in 16 1-3 innings while losing
his last three starts.
They put two on with two outs
in the fifth, but McDonald got
Hudson to pop up.
An inning later, the Braves load-
ed the bases when Jason Heyward
walked, Martin Prado doubled for
only his second hit in 20 at-bats in
PNC Park this season and Brian
McCann was walked, but Derrek
Lee grounded into a double play.
Lee, acquired from the Cubs
to give the Braves a much-need-
ed power bat down the stretch,
has yet to homer and is batting
.228 (13 for 57) in 17 games with
Atlanta. Lee was hitless in four
at-bats.

AssociAted Press
LONDON At the end of
nearly every training session, Matt
Whitmore downs a pint of milk
straight from the bottle.
I do it pretty religiously, said
Whitmore, 25, a gym trainer in
London. He first started drinking
milk after exercise about 10 years
ago when he couldnt afford expen-
sive supplements or protein shakes.
Milk helps me recover faster and I
feel great afterwards, he said. And
now, I hate to train without it.
Researchers are giving scientific
support to a view that Whitmore
vouches for from experience: that
milk may be just as good or even
better than sports drinks for seri-
ous athletes recovering from exer-
cise. The health benefits of milk
which are carbohydrates, elec-
trolytes, calcium and vitamin D
have long been established. But
for athletes, milk also contains the
two proteins best for rebuilding
muscles: casein and whey.
Muscles get damaged after an
intense bout of aerobic exercise
like running, playing football, or
cycling. The casein and whey pro-
teins in milk are precisely what
the body needs
to regenerate
muscles fast.
Glenys Jones,
a nutritionist at
Britains Medical
R e s e a r c h
Council, said
milks protein
content makes
it an ideal post-
exercise drink.
Milk provides the building blocks
for what you need to build new
muscles, Jones said, who has no
ties to the dairy industry.
She said sports drinks mainly
replace lost carbohydrates and elec-
trolytes, and dont usually have the
necessary nutrients for muscles to
regenerate themselves.
Experts have generally been
divided over whether milk out-
performs sports drinks. Dairy pro-
ducers have been eager to break
into the multibillion-dollar mar-
ket, often sponsoring research into
milks athletic benefits that some
call biased. So the debate continues,
but milk has been getting a lot of
attention.
In a study published in the jour-
nal Applied Physiology, Nutrition
and Metabolism in June, research-
ers found people who drank milk
after training were able to exercise
longer in their next session than
people who had sports drinks or
water.
Its the form of the carbohydrate
and the nutrients in milk that is most
important, said Emma Cockburn,
a lecturer in sports coaching at
Northumbria University in north-
east England who led the study,
which was partially paid for by the
dairy industry.
Cockburn advised athletes
to drink milk immediately after
working out. The damage caused
by exercise leads to a breakdown
of the protein structures in your
muscles, but that doesnt happen
until 24 to 48 hours later, she
said. If athletes drink milk right
after training, then by the time
it is digested, the milks nutrients
are ready to be absorbed by the
muscles that have been hurt.
Drinking milk also may help
athletes recover quicker if they are
performing multiple times in a day.
For people who cant stomach the
idea of plain milk, experts recom-
mend adding some chocolate or
other artificial flavor. At the Beijing
Olympics, six-time gold medallist
Michael Phelps regularly downed
a flavored milk drink in between
races.
Scientists at Loughborough
University have found low-fat milk
is better than sports drinks for
replacing fluids lost during exer-
cise. Scientists suspect there may
be two reasons for that. Not only
does milk have a lot of electro-
lytes, but it is emptied from the
stomach more slowly than sports
drinks, keeping the body hydrated
for longer.
Though the vitamins and pro-
teins found in milk are present in
soy milk or dietary supplements,
experts say milk has better propor-
tions of those nutrients.
Milk also may help athletes shed
fat and build muscle. In a small
Canadian study, experts found
women who drank milk after lifting
weights gained about 4.4 pounds (2
kilos) of muscle and lost about the
same amount of body fat. Women
who drank sports drinks put on
about 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilos) of
muscle but didnt lose any body
fat.
It may be that some of the com-
ponents of milk the protein, the
vitamin D and the calcium act
in a synergistic fashion to promote
fat loss, said Stuart Phillips, a pro-
fessor of kinesiology at McMaster
University who led the research.
Phillips has advised the Canadian
Olympic Association about milk
and the dairy industry paid for part
of his research.
But some experts warned that
drinking milk after exercise isnt
for everyone. Catherine Collins,
a spokeswoman for the British
Dietetic Association and a dietician
at Londons St. Georges Trust, said
while milk may be beneficial for
elite athletes who burn thousands
of calories a day during their inten-
sive training, occasional gym-goers
may be better off drinking sports
drinks or plain water.
At the Vancouver Olympics, dairy
farmers trucked in about 85,000
extra quarts
(80,000 liters)
of chocolate
milk. Canadian
athletes won a
record-setting
14 gold medals.
I dont know if
the milk helped,
but it cant have
hurt, Phillips
said.
Still, even
those who promote milk as a
recovery drink say it cannot entire-
ly replace sports drinks. Because it
is harder to digest, people should
only drink milk after they are fin-
ished exercising, not during.
In comparison, sports drinks
like Gatorade have easily digestible
sugars so athletes can chug it dur-
ing events to get an instant boost.
Whitmore says it may be a tough
sell to persuade people to swap
their energy drinks and water.

NFL
Manning keeps Colts as contenders
McclAtchy-tribune
DALLAS Only three quar-
terbacks in NFL history have won
more games than Peyton Man-
ning.
Only three quarterbacks have
passed for more yards and touch-
downs than Manning, and only
two have completed more passes.
His arm has few peers in the NFL
record book.
But Manning does something
even better as a quarterback than
throw a football he gives his
team a chance to win every Sun-
day, every season.
Almost since the day Manning
arrived in 1998, the Colts became
playof contenders. As he grew
into the stature
of a franchise
quart erback,
the Colts be-
came annual
Super Bowl
contenders.
And thats
why the Colts
remain the
team to beat
in 2010. Man-
ning is fresh of
a record fourth NFL MVP season
and a second career Super Bowl
appearance. He is the best player
in his sport.
Manning started every game
of the 2000 decade and took the
Colts to the playofs nine times.
Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw
(1970s), Joe Montana (1980s) and
Troy Aikman (1990s) all took their
teams to the playofs eight times in
a decade. Manning won six divi-
sion titles in the decade, matching
Aikman. Bradshaw and Montana
won seven.
Te one time Manning failed to
take the Colts to the playofs in the
decade was 2001 when two-time
NFL rushing champion Edgerrin
James sufered a season-ending
knee injury in the sixth game. Te
Colts went on to lose seven of their
fnal 10 games in fnishing 6-10.
Since the James injury, Manning
has steered the Colts to at least 10
victories in each of the next eight
seasons. No other quarterback in
NFL history has ever done that.
Counting the postseason, he has
quarterbacked the Colts to 108
victories in 144 games since 2002.
And Manning has achieved
those heights
with fawed
teams. Man-
ning man-
aged 12 vic-
tories and a
league MVP
award in
2004 despite
playing with
the NFLs
29th-ranked
d e f e n s e .
Manning managed 13 victories
in 2007 despite a lineup that lost
an NFL runner-up 81 games by
starters because of injury.
Manning managed 12 victo-
ries in 2008 and another MVP
honor despite playing with the
NFLs 31st-ranked rushing at-
tack and worst-ranked special
teams. He took the Colts to the
Super Bowl and again was the
league MVP in 2009 with the
NFLs worst rushing attack and
24th-ranked run defense.
Manning carried the Colts to
their lone title of the decade in 2006
despite playing with the worst run
defense (32nd in the NFL), worst
scoring defense (23rd) and worst
special teams (30th) of any Super
Bowl champion.
Inexperienced wideouts Aus-
tin Collie and Pierre Garcon will
be experienced in 2010. Forced to
play last year because of the depar-
ture of Marvin Harrison and the
absence of Gonzalez, the rookie
Collie turned in 60 catches and
seven touchdowns and second-
year man Garcon had 47 catches
and a team-best 16.3-yard average.
Both will be better in 2010.
So will Donald Brown, the
teams No. 1 draf pick in 2009 who
carried the ball just 78 times in the
shadow of Pro Bowl halfack Jo-
seph Addai. Also, 2010 No. 1 draf
pick Jerry Hughes of TCU arrives
to make a speed pass rush featur-
ing Pro Bowlers Dwight Freeney
and Robert Mathis even faster.
So pencil in the Colts as the
AFC champion, and theyll face
the Cowboys in the Super Bowl at
Cowboys Stadium. Te Cowboys
will have the home feld, but the
Colts will have Manning.
In todays NFL, championships
are won and lost at the quarter-
back position. So go with the best
player of his generation in the Su-
per Bowl Manning.
Almost since the day Manning
arrived in 1998, the Colts be-
came playof contenders. As he
grew into the stature of a fran-
chise quarterback, the colts be-
came superbowl contenders.
Milk provides the
building blocks for what
you need to build new
muscles.

Georgia Tech coach curbs confdence before Kansas
Mcclatchy-tribune
Theres nothing about Virginia
Tech running back Ryan
Williams approach to football
that indicates he has an affinity
for going backward, so Monday
nights 33-30 loss to No. 3 Boise
State had to be strange for him.
Williams came into the game
with a little bit of Heisman
Trophy hype and a fair amount
of expectation that hed shoulder
a great deal of the offensive load
for Virginia Techs national cham-
pionship hopes. He probably
wont have to worry about either
of those ultimate goals anymore
this season, but its the way Boise
States defense made them vanish
that was most surprising.
All I know is there were a lot
of times I got the ball and there
were defenders in my face, said
Williams, who had 21 carries for
44 yards and two touchdowns
against Boise State to go along
with two catches for 18 yards and
a touchdown. I dont know who
let who by . . . but there were peo-
ple in my face. That prevented a
lot of things.
Tech (0-1), which fell to No.
13 in Tuesdays Associated Press
poll, finished the game with 44
carries for 128 yards. The vaunt-
ed running back trio of Williams,
Darren Evans and David Wilson
had a combined 25 rushes for 58
yards.
Evans, who had three carries
for 12 yards, never got started
in his first game back from a
torn anterior cruciate ligament
that kept him out all last season.
Wilson, who said last week in a
perfect world hed prefer to have
about 10 carries a game to justify
not redshirting him this season,
had just one carry for 2 yards.
Of course, it was difficult to get
much of a rotation going in the
backfield considering Virginia
Tech played from behind for
all but 56 seconds of the first 2
quarters and had to rely primar-
ily on its most dependable offen-
sive options (Williams and Tyrod
Taylor) to get back in the game.
Williams was stopped by Boise
State (1-0) for no gain or a loss
of yards on seven of his carries,
including three of his first four
carries, and five of his first seven.
Last fall, it took him until the
fifth game against Duke to log his
seventh carry of the season that
went for no gain or a loss.
As a team against Boise State,
which routinely stacked the
box near the line of scrimmage,
Virginia Tech had 16 running
plays that went for no gain or
a loss, including three sacks of
Taylor. On 16 carries, Taylor led
Techs running game with 73
yards.
His 29-yard run up Techs side-
line with just over five minutes
left in the third quarter helped
the Hokies move into Broncos
territory and got a touchdown-
scoring drive started that eventu-
ally put Tech ahead 27-26. It was
his longest run since he had a
46-yard pickup Sept. 12 last sea-
son against Marshall.
We knew going in . . . their
safeties are used for run support
and come down (towards the
line of scrimmage), said Taylor.
They mixed up some defenses,
some things we didnt see on
tape.

ATLANTA Paul Johnson is
warning his Georgia Tech play-
ers they better not be distracted
as they prepare for the programs
first road game at a Big 12 school
since 1992.
The warning came in the form
of a question: How would you feel
if you lost to South Carolina State?
Georgia Tech moved up one spot
to No. 15 on Tuesday after its 41-10
opening win over South Carolina
State, but the question from the
coach was relevant as he sought to
keep his team focused.
The Yellow Jackets play at Kansas
on Saturday. Kansas suffered a 6-3
home loss to North Dakota State
last week.
Both South Carolina State
and North Dakota State are FCS
schools. Johnsons warning was that
if Georgia Tech players understood
they would have extra motivation
following an embarrassing loss,
they can expect the same reaction
from Kansas.
Its like I told them on Monday,
you better brace for their best
shot, Johnson said. Their backs
are against the wall. Theyre going
to come out fighting. Theyll be
upset. Theyll be mad.
I asked our team, How would
you be on Monday if you lost to
South Carolina State? Thats all
youve got to think about. They will
be upset.
This is a rare travel opportu-
nity for Georgia Tech (1-0), which
hasnt played a regular-season
game west of the Mississippi River
since opening the 2003 season with
a loss at BYU. Georgia Tech played
at Baylor in 1992 in its last game at
a Big 12 school.
Georgia Tech also traveled west
when it lost to Fresno State in
the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise,
Idaho on Dec. 31, 2007.
Kansas will play at Georgia Tech
next season. The Jayhawks loss
to North Dakota State came in
Turner Gills debut as coach, and
it left Kansas with an eight-game
losing streak.
Kansas fans booed during the
loss.
Johnson said he knows how it
feels to be booed by home fans.
He said he heard boos and insults
as a coach at his high school alma
mater in Avery County, N.C.
Fans will be fans, Johnson said.
I can remember my first coach-
ing job. I think the first year we
didnt lose a regular-season game
in high school and it was actually
my hometown. The second year
we lost one in the regular season
and as we were coming off the
field they were yelling Fire the
bums. They were yelling at me
Hey, you werent any good when
you played.
Added Johnson: Fans will be
fans. Thats what they do.
Johnson referred to breakdowns
on defense and a slow start for the
passing game in the win over South
Carolina State as reasons his play-
ers should not look past Kansas.
If our guys are overconfident
of the effort they put out there, its
going to be a long year, he said.
