SYDNEY, Australia A judge
halted a drug conspiracy trial
Tuesday after some jurors were
found to have been playing
the puzzle game Sudoku while
evidence was being given.
Sydney District Court Judge
Peter Zahra ended the trial
Tuesday for two men facing a
possible life sentence for drug
conspiracy charges. The trial had
been running for 66 days and
had cost taxpayers an estimated
$950,000.
The judge was alerted after
jurors were observed writing
vertically, rather than horizon-

were taking notes.
Yes, it helps me keep my
mind busy paying more atten-

Fake KU Credit Union e-mails infltrate inboxes
By Deepa Sampat
dsampat@kansan.com
Phishing e-mails claiming to be
from the KU Credit Union have been
arriving in the KU account inboxes
of students, staff and faculty.
The e-mails ask recipients to veri-
fy personal account information.
Julie Fugett, information secu-
rity analyst for the IT Security
Department, said the e-mails
had been a staged attack, which
allowed the e-mails to become more
advanced over time.
The first string of e-mails
appeared in April and claimed to
be from the University Help Desk.
Those e-mails asked students to ver-
ify their account information, such
as user names and passwords. Fugett
said the hackers then sent e-mails
from those KU e-mail accounts.
That is part of the reason they
look real, Fugett said. Another part
is that the bad guys are getting bet-
ter at what they do. Theyve started
adding things like security notices.
The link in the e-mail asked stu-
dents to verify their account infor-
mation but Fugett said that when
people replied, they were actually
allowing their information to be
harvested.
Fugett said the same result hap-
pened when people entered their
debit or credit card information and
social security numbers.
They want to steal as much
information from you as possible so
they can spend your money, Fugett
said.
Joe Nasternak, Kansas City,
Kan., senior, said he first received
an e-mail claiming to be from the
Credit Union in late May. Since
then, he has received about four
more e-mails.
I had a feeling it wasnt real,
especially since I dont have an
account with the KU Credit Union,
Nasternak said. That was my red
flag.
Nasternak said that he thought
the e-mail looked legitimate, how-
ever, because of its format and the
link it included.
The only things that they messed
up were some grammatical errors
that the Credit Union wouldnt
make, he said. Other than that I
could see how someone would think
it was real.
Fugett said that the e-mails were
especially innovative because they
were able to bypass the Universitys
spam filters. She said that the IT
Security Office did its best to filter
spam e-mail, but that because it
wanted to let all legitimate e-mails
through, sometimes bad e-mails got
past the system.
Bill Myers, director of informa-
tion services, said that he didnt
know when the e-mails would be
phased out of the system. He said
that the Security Office filtered
about 3 million to 5 million spam
e-mails out of the system per day.
Its way more than what ever gets
into inboxes, he said. Spammers
are always looking for ways to pen-
etrate the network.
Fugett said the security office had
been working to combat the prob-
lem by sending anyone who was
logged onto a computer within the
University network to the Security
Offices Web site when they clicked
on the link.
The situation was getting dire
enough that we said we had to do
something, so thats what we decid-
ed to do, Fugett said.
If youve responded to the e-mail
and given out your personal infor-
mation, call the University Customer
Service Center at (785) 864-8080.

KU IDs get new design, meet identity standards
By Deepa Sampat
dsampat@kansan.com
Jill Dryden has had the same KU
identification card since her fresh-
man year. Dryden, Sugarland, Texas,
senior, said she
uses it to get
into the Student
R e c r e a t i o n
Fitness Center,
sporting events
and as a second
form of identifi-
cation at the bars.
But starting next
year, Dryden will
have the option
to carry around a
different card.
The KU Card Center and
University Relations collaborated
with Commerce Bank and Bernstein-
Rein, a marketing firm out of Kansas
City, Mo., to develop a new design
for the ID cards. The cards were
introduced at the first new student
orientation on June 6, and all incom-
ing freshmen will be issued a card
with the new design.
Todd Cohen, director of University
Relations, said that current ID cards
failed to meet the University visu-
al identity system standards that
didnt exist when the cards were first
issued a decade
ago. The visual
identity system
ensures that all
logos and iden-
tification related
to the University
stay consistent,
such as using
the same font.
Before the visual
identity system
was in place,
Cohen said that
various depart-
ments were all using different logos.
We have a much more consistent
look across the board now, Cohen
said. Weve gotten more and more
people on board and it was time to
get the card on the same look and feel
as the University.
Cohen said that the endowment
center, alumni association and athlet-
ics had already changed their logos
to comply with the visual identity
system.
The ID card was one of the last
steps, he said. Hopefully it has
a much more dynamic look and
its recognizable and people can be
proud to use it.
Current students can exchange
their old cards for a new one at the
KU Card Center for free. They will
be charged $15 if they do not have
their old ID to exchange. The Card
Center is located on the fourth floor
of the Kansas Union.
Nancy Miles, director of the KU
Card Center, said the current ID
cards would still be valid next year.
We dont have any intention of
saying that by a certain date stu-
dents will need a new card, Miles
said. We plan to extend that out for
awhile.
Dryden said she preferred the old
cards to the new ones because she
liked how The University of Kansas
was written across the top.
If you are using it as a form of
ID out-of-state and it just says KU,
people might not know where its
from, Dryden said.
Dan Gertsema, Olathe senior, said
he also liked the current cards better
because he thought the state logo
printed on them made them look
more official.
Its pointless; they shouldnt have
wasted money on a new design,
Gertsema said. I dont want to waste
my time getting a new one.

Kennedy returns home
By GLeN JOHNSON
aSSOciateD preSS
BOSTON Fresh from his hos-
pitalization for an aggressive surgery
on a cancerous brain tumor, Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy announced it
was good to be home at his familys
Cape Cod compound Monday and
headed out for a sail.
Kennedy left the Duke University
Medical Center in Durham, N.C., on
Monday morning and arrived at his
familys Hyannis Port compound just
before noon. With his thick white
hair visible beneath a beige, wide-
brimmed hat, he told reporters he
felt good to be home, good to be
here.
Within hours, he went out sailing
with his wife, Vicki. It was the same
homecoming routine he followed
last month when he was released
from a Boston hospital after being
diagnosed with a malignant glio-
ma, a lethal type of brain tumor. A
malignant glioma is one of the worst
kinds of brain cancer, and malig-
nant gliomas are diagnosed in about
9,000 Americans a year.
His doctors are pleased with his
progress since surgery a week ago,
and he will continue to recuperate
at home before starting the next
phase of his treatment, Kennedys
office said in a statement. He is
thankful for the extraordinary care
of the doctors and nurses at Duke,
and also for the continued prayers
and well wishes from the people
of Massachusetts and all over the
country.

Two girls murdered in rural
Oklahoma
TULSA, Okla. The bodies of
two girls were found shot to death
in their rural community, along
a dirt road the best friends used
dozens of times to play and walk to
sleepovers.
By Tuesday investigators had
found no suspects and were unsure
of the motive for Sundays killings
of 13-year-old Taylor Paschal-Plack-
er and 11-year-old Skyla Whitaker.
Taylors grandfather found their
bodies after his wife got no answer
when she called Taylors cellular
phone. The girls were sleeping over
at Taylors house and had decided
to take a walk down the desolate
road Sunday afternoon.
Peter Placker sobbed uncon-
trollably Monday as he tried to
remember fnding the girls bodies
about a quarter of a mile from his
house near Weleetka, about 70
miles south of Tulsa.
I cant describe coming up on
it, he said. I done it once and I
cant do it again.
Kevin Rowland, chief investiga-
tor with the state medical exam-
iners ofce, said the girls each
sufered multiple gunshot wounds

Renovations limit space at recreation center
By Asher Fusco
afusco@kansan.com
Renovation work has cut down on
space and moved exercise equipment
at the Student Recreation Fitness
Center, causing students to change
their workout habits.
The temporary changes include
the moving of cardio machines and
limiting of free weights, which should
be restored within two weeks.
The construction, which will add
45,000 square feet of exercise space
to the center, is slated to wrap up
by fall.
Were closing in on the home
stretch, said Mary Chappell, director
of recreation services. People can
finally see some things happening.
Hopefully it will be ready to roll
pretty quickly and those here for the
summer will get to enjoy some new
space.
In the meantime, KU students
have approached the inconvenience
in varying ways.
Some, such as Josh Decker,
Bronson senior, work out at the rec-
reation center despite the shuffled
equipment.
The construction kind of throws
off my routine, Decker said. But its
not a huge deal.
Decker, who said he had visited
the recreation center seven or eight
times since the start of summer, said
he had not purchased a membership
at a private health club because of
the cost.
Alternative fitness club options
in Lawrence include the Lawrence
Athletic Club and Body Boutique.
The Lawrence Athletic Club has two
locations, each with free weight and
cardio equipment. Body Boutique is
a womens fitness center and spa that
offers general workout equipment
and group classes.
Body Boutique manager Carrie
Forster said the number of KU stu-
dents purchasing memberships had
increased in the past year.
Though Lawrence Athletic Club
owner Rick Sells said his gyms stu-
dent membership numbers were just
one-third of what they were before
the KU recreation center opened,
about 300 students still have mem-
berships at the club.
The LAC is nowhere near as
busy as the rec, said Hans Tregear, a
Wichita senior and Lawrence Athletic
Club member. Its a more relaxing
atmosphere, and you can go at any
time instead of 5:30 in the morning
to get a workout in.
Chappell said attendance at the
KU recreation center did not drop
off noticeably when the renovations
moved inside, and she expected
summer pass sales to top last years
totals. Students who are not enrolled
in summer classes are required to
purchase a summer pass to the rec-
reation center. Passes costed $34 at
the start of the summer and the cost
decreases accordingly as the summer
progresses.
Despite the increased student
interest, overcrowding should only
be an issue for the next several weeks:
Chappell said the new free weight
area would be about twice the size of
the old space. The full expansion also
includes an expanded track and new
basketball and racquetball courts.
For those who have been hearing
us talk about it and waiting for it to
come, I would hope they are getting
a little excited, Chappell said. Once
we get the expansion piece open,
theres going to be a lot to be excited
about.

be a ROAD scholar
By Sachiko Miyakawa
smiyakawa@kansan.com
The number of international stu-
dents at the University of Kansas has
grown by more than 100 since Fall
2005 because of booming economies
around the world.
The top five sources of enrolled
international students were China,
India, South Korea, Saudi Arabia and
Japan in Spring 2008, according to
KU International
Student and
Scholar Services.
Zexia Li,
S h e n g c h e n g ,
China, sopho-
more, said he
chose Kansas
because of its
basketball team.
He said he
decided to study
in the United
States because he
thought American colleges offered a
better quality of education than most
Chinese colleges.
Chinese high schools are very
strict. They wont let you have a
free time, Li said. Once people get
into college, many of them become
relaxed and they dont study much
anymore. You cant do that in the
U.S.
Daphne Johnston, associate direc-
tor of International Undergraduate
Admissions, said KU staff and alum-
ni recruited many students from
overseas, but international economic
prosperity accounted for the majority
of international student growth at the
University.
Johnston said the rapid economic
growth in China and India expand-
ed their middle
class wealth until
the number of
local institutions
could not meet
the demand for
higher education.
She said studying
abroad offered
another option
for international
students seeking
higher educa-
tion, particularly
in China, where one-child families
are prevalent and parents can focus
all of their resources on one child.
ISSS director Joe Potts said many
Chinese students were planning on
returning to China after graduating.
So many jobs are available in
China if you speak English and have
an American college degree, Potts
said.
According to ISSS, the number of
Saudi students at the University has
doubled since 2005.
Potts said the U.S. government
limited visas issued to students from
Middle Eastern countries after Sept.
11. He said the number of Saudi
students started to increase at the
University when King Abdullah
created a scholarship program that
empowered thousands of Saudi stu-
dents to study in the U.S.
The Saudi government has a lot
of money and they want to devel-
op their country, Potts said. They
believe that the best way to do that is
to educate as many Saudis as possible
outside Saudi Arabia.
Johnston said she received more
applications from abroad every
year. She said KUs Applied English
Center, which helps students learn
English from any level, and extra
curricular activities attracted inter-
national students to the University.
She said the relatively lower cost of
the University allowed students who
could not afford private colleges or
living expenses in big cities.
International students accounted
for 7 percent of total KU students in
Fall 2007, according to ISSS.
Johnston said she hoped inter-
national students would enrich the
campus and community.
It increases the opportunity for
our students, our faculty, and our
staff and our community members
to get to know the world through the
individual connection, she said. For
some people who would never get
to travel, to have friends from other
parts of the world, and colleagues, is
really, really a good experience.

Church seeks registry with historical society
ecm
By Gretchen Gier
ggier@kansan.com
The Ecumenical Christian
Ministries is asking the community
to help revamp its building with
$700,000 in renovations and registra-
tion with the Kansas State Historical
Society.
In the past year, the ECM has
sent out surveys and interviewed
people who are familiar with the
ECM. The ECM board wanted to
know what changes the building sup-
porters would like to see, how much
community participation could be
expected and who could contribute
financially to the renovations.
In July, the ECM board will
review the responses and vote on
the next step to raise more money
or remodel.
Robert Minor, professor of reli-
gious studies and president of the
ECM board, said he knew people
would participate in the ECM chang-
es, but renovations were still in the
research phase.
Were trying to be careful and
cautious so we can do what people
need, not what we think they need,
Minor said.
He said another goal of the board
was to get the building registered
with the KSHS, which would give the
organization tax breaks.
In 2007, ECM decided not to sell
its building to the developers build-
ing the Oread Inn. The ECM board
said they felt the building was histor-
ically significant and an important
gathering place for the community.
So many historical events took
place there, said Leslie Tuttle,
associate professor of history and
humanities. Tuttle is one of the peo-
ple working to get the building on
the registry.
Civil rights, womens rights, gay
rights, Tuttle said. It was designed
to be a place where people in the
community could gather and discuss
things important to the community.
Tom Harper, founder of Lawrence
Modern, and Tuttle will finish the
application to have the ECM regis-
tered with the KSHS this fall. They
need to provide a narrative archi-
tectural description of the property
and a statement of significance based
upon the National and State Register
criteria.
Its a building that needs to be
preserved because it has a rich his-
tory in Lawrence, plus the added
benefit of tax credits that can help
with renovation, Harper said.
The ECM has to determine the
feasibility of a capital campaign,
which is necessary to raise money to
bring the building up-to-date.
Jim Everett, consultant for The
Church Development Foundation,
is helping the ECM explore options
to improve funds and programs. He
talked to people who supported the
ECM in the past by phone and sur-
veys.
Everett said they were hoping to
receive the surveys and prepare them
for the boards meeting in July.
If approved, the ECM should be
in the next phase of planning and
renovations by next year.

Wakarusa
Ramone goes from
punk to Uncle Monk
By Bryan Cisler
bcisler@kansan.com
Tommy Ramone looked off the
stage at the Wakarusa Festival and
could only see a couple dozen fans.
Life has changed a lot for the 56-year-
old musician since his days as the co-
producer and the former drummer of
the band The Ramones, a group that
helped revolutionize rock n roll in
the 1970s. Tommy, along with band
member Claudia Tienan, has formed
the band Uncle Monk. Ramone has
gone away from the rock style that
made his former band famous, and
has turned to bluegrass. A style that
Ramone said had a growing future in
the music business.
I think [bluegrass] is something
people need to discover, because I
think it is some of the hippest music
out there, Ramone said.
Even though Uncle Monk may
never have books written about it, or
be listed as one of the top 100 artists
of all-time by Rolling Stone Magazine
as The Ramones were, Tommy said
he was happy to play a type of music
that he loves. When Tommy was just
a child, his older brother would come
home with bluegrass records and it
sparked Tommys interest. It wasnt
until 15 years ago, when Tommy
bought a banjo, that he seriously
thought about changing his style to
bluegrass.
I was having such a great time
that we started dropping the electric
instruments at the time and started
getting into acoustic, Tommy said.
Uncle Monk already has one
album out and has another planned
for release next year. Still, as Tommys
new band gains fans, some cant help
but remember him for his role with
The Ramones. The New York-based
band toured for more than 22 years
but disbanded in 1996. Tommy is the
last surviving original member from
the band.
John Reemer traveled up from
Warrensburg, Missouri to hear Uncle
Monk at Wakarusa.
He has a really good acoustic
sound and he really plays from his
heart, Reemer said.
Ramone realizes that music has
changed quite a bit since he began his
music career more than 40 years ago.
There is so many new opportuni-
ties now that we didnt have in the
past like the internet, Ramone said.
Uncle Monk will be back in Kansas
when it plays at the Mountain Music
Shoppe in Shawnee on June 17. The
band has only eight more appearanc-
es planned for the summer, a far less
hectic schedule compared to Tommys
days with The Ramones.
The Ramones was rewarding but
it was very stressful and very differ-
ent, Tommy said, What we are doing
here is more of a relaxed thing.

Nooks and Crannies:
Historic Pioneer Cemetary
Really? would likely be the
response if you were tell a student
that theres a cemetary on campus.
Historic Pioneer Cemetary sits on
West Campus, across the street from
the Kansas University Endowment
Association. Opened in 1854 as
Oread Cemetary, the small burial
ground is the final resting place of
civil war heroes, former University
faculty and four victims of Quantrills
massacre. Eighteen small white head-
stones mark the graves of members
of the 13th Wisconsin Volunteer
Infantry, who died of typhoid in 1862.
The Kansas University Endowment

cemetary in 1953 and the cemetary

DIY: Your own
bar in 10 steps
Planning a barbeque or party
this summer? Here are 10 steps
you need to take to prepare a small
home bar. Impress your guests with
a variety of drinks!
1. Beer: Refrigerate them at least
three hours before the party.
2. Wine and Champagne: Dont
forget to prepare with a corkscrew
and wine glasses.
3. Liquor: That includes whisky,
vodka, gin, rum and tequila. If you
want to add a variety to your drinks,
try Campari, Baileys and Creme
de cassis, which will make a great
cocktail.
4. Ice and Bottled Water: Serve
them with hard liquor or cocktails.
5. Lemons and Limes: Put
squeezed juice into a drink. Lemons
and limes can be used toppings of
cocktails, too.
6. A Shaker and Swizzle Sticks:
A shaker is convenient when you
want to mix more than two ingredi-
ents and cool them with ice quick-
ly.
7. Sodas and Fruit Juice: Sodas
include tonic water, ginger ale and
cola. Orange juice, grapefruit juice
and pineapple juice go with many
hard liquors.
8. Shot Glasses and Cocktail
Glasses: Gather a variety of glasses
for different drinks.
9. Toppings: Olives, maraschi-
no cherries, peppermint and fresh
fruits can be good toppings. You
can add olive juice to drinks.
10. Snacks: Prepare finger food
like cheese, olives, nuts and salsa
and chips. Dont forget napkins!

Cook: Health-conscious beef dish for 2
QUINOA AND BEEF DISH
Hamilton Suh, 20, offers this
inexpensive, delectable dish for the
health-conscious. And he would
know. Suh works at Local Burger,
711 Vermont St., a restaurant that
focuses on preparing healthier food
with no additives or preservatives.
INGREDIENTS
1 box of quinoa
1 lb. beef or elk meat
Water
Raw carrots or broccoli
Pour the box of quinoa (pro-
nounced keen-wah) into a rice cook-
er. For every cup of quinoa, add two
cups of water. Leave in rice cooker
for about 15 minutes.
Why use quinoa?
Believe it or not, the small grain
contains more protein than any other
grain and more calcium than milk.
Its very, very healthy, but not
that many people know about it,
Suh said.
Next, put the meat into a pan and
keep an eye on it, mixing it around
until browned.
Suh purchases his meat at Local
Burger, where it is sold by the pound.
He said he bought either beef or elk
meat and put the meat he didnt use
in the refrigerator for next time.
The meats that come from here
I know are straight from the farms,
Suh said. Theyre not going to have
any added hormones.
Once browned, mix the meat on
a plate with the cooked quinoa. You
can add any vegetables to your lik-
ing. Suh usually cuts up raw carrots
or broccoli.
Now, you have a meal that can
serve two people.
It does the trick, Suh said. Its
not really culinary, but its healthy, it
fills me up and its tasty.

Books: America doesnt
live up to humor of its author
Stephen Colbert is one of the
best political commentators on
television. He comes across as
intelligent, articulate and very, very
funny. I am convinced he is a
genius, and will be my future boy-
friend.
I am America (And So Can
You!), however, is not quite as
humorous as his show, The Colbert
Report.
While the subject material, pic-
tures and historical anecdotes are
amusing, this book is best for bath-
room reading, not the coffee table.
Each chapter starts out promis-
ing enough, like Sex and Dating:
1001 abstinence positions, but
quickly become boring rants that
arent all that interesting.
If you want a humorous, easy-
to-read diatribe on American life,
try David Sedaris. He doesnt have
a T.V. show, but at least his books
are worth reading.

Movies: Zohan
too messy with
jokes, delivery
You Dont Mess With the Zohan
is a comedy that uses the Palestinian-
Israeli conflict as a backdrop. Its also
a movie in which the main recurring
joke is the main characters penchant
for pleasing (much) older women.
If those two themes dont seem to
mix, its because they dont.
In his latest foray into acting and
scriptwriting, Adam Sandler teams
up with big-name funnymen Robert
Smigel (Saturday Night Live) and
Judd Apatow (Knocked Up). Despite
its wealth of writing talent, the film
veers too quickly from weighty issues
to silly gags.
Sandler is frequently funny as
Zohan, an Israeli soldier who comes
to America to cut and style hair only
to have his past catch up with him.
The stunning Emmanuelle Chriqui
(Entourage) stands out as Dalia,
Zohans main love interest. The celeb-
rity cameos are frequent throughout,
with Mariah Carey, Chris Rock and
John McEnroe making appearances.
All the star-power in the world
cant save You Dont Mess With
the Zohan from itself. The film
cant decide between delivering a
heavy-handed and sentimental take
on worldly problems or delivering
raunchy jokes. Perhaps Sandler and
friends should have stuck with the
lowbrow gags.

Here are some tips to get started
on building your own rain garden.
step 1
Determine the size of your garden.
Jason Dremsa, a restoration ecologist
at Applied Ecological Services, said
you should determine how much
water will be draining from the roof-
top and then size accordingly.
step 2
Use native plants. Dremsa said to
use local plants because they were not
invasive and their deep roots would
soak up storm water.
step 3
Soil type is important. Dremsa said
you should test your soil before you
begin. This will help you determine
whether the soil drains well or not
and will help you design the proper
garden.

Chances are, if you camped out
at the Wakarusa festival, you didnt
get in a good workout. However,
no matter where you are or how
little time you have, you can do
an exercises that improves your
bodys health every day: stretch.
Angela Whitlock, physical ther-
apy assistant at Therapy Works
PA, 1112 W. 6th St., said stretching
kept your muscles elongated so
joints dont get stiff, which could
limit your range of motion. Even
if youre not exercising, Whitlock
said stretching was good for your
body because it kepts the bodys
muscles and joints from tighten-
ing up and becoming sore.
I tell my patients to stretch in
the morning after they get out of
bed, Whitlock said. They usu-
ally feel better afterward.
Melissa Caywood, physical
therapist at Watkins Memorial
Health Center, said that stretching
was beneficial before doing any
sort of physical activity, such as
gardening, washing a car or other
recreational activities.
Stretching increases blood
flow, increases length and main-
tains your mobility, Caywood
said.
If you are able to get in a good
workout, Whitlock said stretching
was extremely important before
and after the workout to decrease
the risk of injury.
If you stretch with the exer-
cises you do it will help decrease
the risk of tearing the muscles,
she said. If you exercise with
tight muscles, you could really
hurt yourself.

Summertime and pools go hand-
in-hand. But when venturing out
to your favorite aquatic lounge, its
often diffi-
cult to decide
which pool
floatie to bring.
A bad decision
could leave you
drowning. Here
are the top 5
pool floatation
devices.

pact of the five. Its
smaller dimensions
can crunch into any
back seat. It also
requires no assembly.
Dont plan on get-
ting too far out of the
water, though.
Sitting on this
will only land
your head
above water
line.
4. The
Doughnut
A true classic, even used by my
own grandmother in her family
pond. While the rubber tire has
been traded for a more colorful
plastic creation, the doughnut is
great if you want to feel like youre
standing in the pool. It also makes
a great conversation-starter for why
you are sunburned from the shoul-
ders up only.
3. The Inflatable Lounge
If your lungs are up for the battle,
this bed takes the pool chair from
the concrete to the pool. It is more
of a struggle to get onto, especially
if your body has been thoroughly
dowsed in tanning oil, but it pro-
vides entertainment for fellow pool-
goers to see you struggle into a
comfortable position.
For Christine Peterson, Topeka
senior, the inflatable lounge is her
top choice for summer pool going.
I like floaties that dont sink too
far into the water, Christine said.
2. The Inflatable Chair
My favorite feature of the chair
is the cup holder. Finally there is an
end to the awkward paddle to the
shore for a refreshment. However,
its posture-perfect form was less
than comfortable after 30 minutes.
Keep in mind, users of this chair are
highly recommended to dip the chair
in water before
getting on. Pool-
goers are looking
for sunburns, not
plastic burns.
1. The Net
Lounge
Whereas pools
of water can col-
lect on all plastic
floaties and turn
pockets of water
into oil hot tubs,
the net chair allows
a filtering of pool
water. The pool
chair is not awk-
ward to get in and
out of. You also
have the opportu-
nity to get an even
tan, well on your
front side at least.
To order your floatie
of choice I suggest these
sites:

Since the mid-90s, the Architects
have made albums fans love and ven-
tured on tour on a bus of rock and
soul. Its only gotten better as they
continue to pump out albums. But
this recent album, released this year,
fell off the bus of rock, soul and pos-
sibly thrill.
The Phillip brothers, three of the
four band members, dont bring much
to the table in the album Vice. The
songs have a similar sounds in the first
few tracks, Cold Hard Fact, Hard
Times and Continental. After the
first three tracks I expected to hear
the same opening sound, and I wasnt
disappointed.
In songs Pills and Drop in the
Bottle, the lyrics and hooks were
catchy and could surely get a crowd
hyped, but those were the only songs
I liked.
In the slower songs like Oklahoma,
the lyrics and music were just as bor-
ing as the title.
Overall, this album was quite bor-
ing. The production was boring and
the songs lacked energy that they are
known for. In the words of Architects
song Pills, This isnt what I asked
for, this is what I get.

I spent four years in Lawrence
searching for the best cheeseburger
in town. My 1,461-day experiment
returned no conclusive results. Then
I went to Johnnys Tavern, 401 N. 2nd
St., and I found what I was looking for:
Lawrences best cheeseburger.
I frequented Johnnys during my
time as a KU student, but I never
ordered anything besides pizza, which
is also fantastic by the way.
This weekend my friend and I went
to Johnnys for lunch and he promised
the cheeseburger would not let me
down.
I admit I was not thrilled about
ordering something new: Its difficult
to refrain from ordering Johnnys
pizza. I gave in. The waitress,
who besides being competent was
extremely friendly, took our orders
and I asked for a cheeseburger with
American cheese and French fries.
Twenty minutes later the wait-
ress presented me with a thick, juicy
cheeseburger that had deliciousness
dripping from the side the bun. I
hadnt even taken a bite and I knew I
was in for a treat.
Just as I expected, the burger was
perfect. It tasted so good I almost did
not use ketchup, which is my favorite
condiment and a necessity for all
cheeseburgers.
I cleaned my plate and could not
have been more satisfied. Owner Rick
Renfro can now boast that his restau-
rant serves the best pizza and cheese-
burgers in town.

Whether youre Rachel Ray or
Chef Boyardee, fresh ingredients
can liven up any meal. A healthy,
easy and fun way to spruce up
food during the summertime is by
having your own herb garden. The
easiest and most practical summer
herbs for cooking are rosemary,
oregano and basil. These herbs are
versatile and can be used in many
dishes.
You can find these herbs at
any grocery store that sells flowers,
such as Hy-Vee or Dillons. If you
want more selection, visit Home
Depot or a garden supply center
nursery, such as Earl May Nursery
& Garden Center, 3200 Iowa St.
Decide whether you want
to grow herbs separately or all
together. If you want an herb to
have its own pot, buy smaller pots
to separate your herbs. If you want
to put multiple herbs together,
buy a larger pot. Make sure to also
buy a potting soil with fertilizer
mixed in, such as Miracle-Gro.
If youre afraid of getting a green
thumb, purchase a garden spade
or gloves.
If the pot you bought has holes
in the bottom, you will need to
put down a layer of rocks or pieces
from a broken terracotta pot. This
allows for draining through the pot
without soil leakage.
Next, fill the pot about half-
way with soil over the rocks. Your
herb should come in a plastic pot.
Take the herb out of the pot while
not tearing the roots. With the
root ball in tact, place the plant in
middle of your new pot.
Once the plant is in the new
pot, take more soil and fill the gaps
surrounding the herb with soil so
the dirt is level. Water your plant
right away, allowing the soil to
settle. Once it settles, add more soil
and place it in a sunny location. If
this is an indoor plant, place on
a windowsill. If your herb prefers
an outdoor location, the ideal spot
would be a sunny porch that is
guarded by the wind.
Water the plant daily and
enjoy watching your herbs grow.
Once they are a decent size, pick
the herbs, wash them and put them
on your food for a tasty treat.
I like having fresh herbs to use
in the kitchen, Kristen Kearney,
2008 graduate, said. Its fun and
relaxing. Fresh grown herbs are
cheaper, taste better and are read-
ily available. Its ideal for spring
and summer because the weather,
the plants are sure to get a lot of
sun.

A herb garden is an easy, fun and healthy way of passing time this summer. The herbs could be
used in many dishes and the summer weather helped the growth of the plants.

The womens soccer team has
returned from a nine-day tour of
Brazil, where the team played four
exhibition games against Brazilian
teams.
The Jayhawks traveled to the
country where soccer is a lifestyle
from May 21 to May 29.
Thats all we saw over there were
people playing soccer games, wheth-
er it was on the beach at night, on
cement or on little grass fields, Sara
Rogers, Overland Park senior, said.
I dont think we ever saw a basket-
ball court. It was all soccer.
Under NCAA rules, college teams
can leave the country once every
four years to take part in exhibi-
tion games. KU coach Mark Francis
decided to take full advantage of
that opportunity this year to bond
as a team.
Just for our girls to be exposed to
that kind of competition was great,
said Francis, who mentioned that
some of the opposing players were
members of the Brazilian womens
national team. Two of the four
teams that we played we will
never play a team in college better
than those teams.
Kansas finished the trip 22,
defeating the University of Sao
Paulo and Corinthians, a soccer
club in Sao Paulo.
Midfielder Missy Geha, Overland
Park senior, said her teams final
two exhibition games were televised
nationally on the countrys version
of ESPN. Soccer, particularly at the
college level in the United States,
typically doesnt appear on televi-
sion unless two teams are compet-
ing for a national championship.
Brazil is like the soccer Mecca
of the world, Geha said. It really
is. The amount of people that they
get out to their soccer games is
ridiculous.
The team didnt just focus on
soccer the entire trip, though.
Among the highlights of the trip
was a tour of the mountains, white
water rafting and living the night
life of Sao Paulo.
Both Rogers and Geha spoke of
the cultural differences they expe-
rienced while in Brazil. Cars were
smaller, houses virtually nonexistent
and the food was unusual.
They eat chicken hearts, Geha
said. The thought of eating a chick-
en heart was absolutely disgusting.
The team also had to overcome
the language barrier. In Brazil, the
native language is Portuguese, so
many players used hand gestures to
communicate with the locals. The
only word many players knew was
obrigada, which means thank
you.
In the end, Rogers said the trip
split up about 50/50 between soccer
and fun in the sun.
When we were playing, we were
very serious about it, she said. But
when we werent on the field, we
had tons of fun and got to see tons
of things. I think it was a good bal-
ance.
For Geha, Brazil, with its sandy
beaches and rich soccer tradition,
left a lasting impression.
I will never get that opportunity
ever again, Geha said. Being able to
experience the soccer culture over
there was the best thing ever, and I
got to do it with all my friends. So
that was amazing.

Five selected for MLB Draft
baseball
BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
Five Kansas baseball players were
selected in the Major League Baseball
First-Year Player Draft last Friday.
Junior pitcher Sam Freeman was
walking his dog when his phone rang
with the news.
I got a
call from one
of my friends
telling me I
got drafted,
Freeman said.
It was kind of
surprising. It
felt good, like
a relief.
The St. Louis
C a r d i n a l s
p i c k e d
Freeman in the 32nd round of the
draft, making him the 965th player
selected overall. He was the first of
five Jayhawks to be drafted Friday.
Senior outfielder Ryne Price,
junior pitcher Nick Czyz, senior
pitcher Andres Esquibel and senior
infielder Erik Morrison rounded out
the list of Kansas players headed to
the majors.
Price, who was the second
Jayhawk taken, was starting to won-
der whether he would be drafted
at all as he worked at a youth base-
ball camp Friday afternoon. But then
Price received a phone call. It was his
younger brother and fellow Kansas
baseball player Robby Price who told
Ryne that the San Francisco Giants
had selected him in the 33rd round.
Ive always been a
Giants fan, Ryne Price
said. Then talking with
them the last couple of
years, thats the organiza-
tion I always wanted to get
into.
The MLB Draft isnt like
the NBA
and NFL
Dr a f t s ,

ing for

i m m e -
di at e l y.
Pl a y e r s
taken in
the baseball draft play for
a teams organization, usu-
ally in the minor leagues.
After they prove them-
selves, they have an oppor-
tunity to move up to the
major league.
Ryne Price said part of
the reason he was excited
to play for the Giants orga-
nization was because he
felt the team gave him a
good opportunity to move
up the organizational lad-
der. He left Lawrence last
weekend for Phoenix,
where he will participate
in training camp.
Erik Morrison, who was
selected in the 46th round
by the Texas Rangers, also
shipped off to Arizona for
training camp this week.
This was the third year
Morrison was picked in the
draft but the first two times,
he decided to stay in college.
Now that his college eligi-
bility has run out, Morrison
said he was excited about
chasing his dream of play-
ing baseball for a living.
I get to prolong my
career in baseball, Morrison
said. You never want to see
something come to an end
after youve worked at it
for the last 16 years of your
life.
Freeman and Nick Czyz,
who was picked in the
35th round by the Seattle
Mariners, were both juniors
so they could chose to either
sign a contract and start
their professional career or
return to Kansas. Freeman
said he would not return
to Kansas next year. Czyz
could not be reached for
comment.
Two high school seniors
who comitted to Kansas
for next season were also
drafted. Infielder Zac Elgie
went in the 12th round to
the Oakland Athletics and
pitcher Lee Ridenhour went
in the 31st round to the
Minnesota Twins.

Lakers could be
wary against Celtics
nba
BY TOM WITHERS
ASSICIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Frequent fly-
ers, the Los Angeles Lakers were
allowed an unlimited number
of carry-on items for their trip
home.
It remains to be seen if any of
them contained momentum.
After losing two games in
Boston, the Lakers returned to
California on Monday in a hole as
deep as Topanga Canyon. Over 96
minutes, they have looked nothing
like the team which pulverized
Denver, pushed aside Utah and
swatted away San Antonio with
ease on the way to winning the
Western Conference title.
With the exception of an eight-
minute stretch at the end of Game
2, Kobe Bryant and his crew have
looked sickly in the finals.
However, theres no truth to
the rumor they were taken from
their charter plane at LAX in Paul
Pierces infamous wheelchair.
Though down 0-2, and facing
history along with the leagues
toughest defense, the Lakers felt
good about their comeback
they whacked a 24-point deficit to
two over the final 7:55 and are
confident they can swing the series
at the Staples Center in Game on
Tuesday night.
They are 8-0 in the postseason
there and unbeaten in 14 home
games since March 28.

Ten qualify for championship
By Jesse Temple
jtemple@kansan.com
The KU track & field team
qualified 10 athletes seven
females and three males for the
NCAA Outdoor Track and Field
Championships, which
begins today at 10
a.m. and runs through
Saturday in Des Moines,
Iowa.
Nine of the athletes
advanced to this point by
finishing in the top five
of their respective events
at the Midwest Regional
Championships in
Lincoln, Neb. Zlata Tarasova,
Togliatta, Russia junior, was forced to
wait an extra few days for the NCAA
to make its at-large announcements
before she qualified in the hammer
throw, giving Kansas double digits.
The team arrived in Des Moines,
Iowa, on Monday to prepare for its
final meet of the season. Head coach
Stanley Redwine said he wasnt sur-
prised by the 10 athletes that quali-
fied for the championships.
I believe that the athletes that
have put the work and time in to
get there are there, Redwine said.
I see the work theyre doing on a
daily basis to get there. You always
want more athletes there. But I am
excited that we have the number
that we have.
For the women, Crystal Manning,
Terrell, Texas, senior, and Nickesha
Anderson, Hanover, Jamaica, junior,
were the only athletes to qualify for
the championships in more than one
event. Manning will com-
pete in the long jump and
the triple jump, an event she
earned All-American hon-
ors last year. Anderson will
compete in the 100-meter
dash and the 200.
Ashley Brown, Overton,
Neb., senior, qualified in
the 400-meter hurdles.
Last year she earned All-American
honors by finishing as one of the
top eight American athletes in an
event at the outdoor championships.
Brown broke the school record in
the 400-meter hurdles at last years
championships with a time of 57.15
seconds.
Brown said she wasnt feeling
pressure about duplicating her All-
American feat this year.
Its not so much pressure, she
said. Its the expectation of where I
want to be. I have no doubt with my
training regimen that I can be there.
My goal is to break 57, and I think
if I run that time, it will put me at
All-American status.
On the mens side, Egor Agafonov,
Togliatta, Russia senior, Jordan
Scott, Watkinsville, Ga., sophomore,
and Julius Jiles, Kansas City, Mo.,
senior, advanced to the champion-
ship. Agafonov and Scott did so by
winning the Midwest Regional in
the hammer throw and pole vault.
Agafonov set a meet record in the
hammer throw for the third con-
secutive year with a toss of 223
feet, and Scotts pole vault carried
18 feet 1 inch. Jiles qualified in the
110-meter hurdles, finishing second
at regionals in 13.75 seconds.
Agafonovs throwing coach,
Andy Kokhanovski, said the ham-
mer throw title likely would come
down to Agafonov, Cory Martin or
Jacob Dunkleberger, both of whom
are from Auburn University.
Hes prepared for everything,
Kokhanovski said. If it works out,
the strongest throw is going to win.
And why not Egor? He has as much
chance as those two guys. Egor is
very competitive.
Kokhanovski said a qualifying
throw today of about 225 feet should
put Agafonov into the finals on
Friday, where he would need a toss
of 235 to 240 feet to win.
