The University of Kansas low
rankings in several key research
measures have University offi-
cials worried about the schools
future as a leading research insti-
tution.
Most prominently, university
officials have expressed con-
cern about the growing possi-
bility of losing membership in
the Association of American
Universities, a group of the coun-
trys 61 leading research institu-
tions.
If we ever fall out of the AAU,
or even are discussed as poten-
tially falling out, that would
reflect a loss of research capac-
ity, said Jeffrey Vitter, provost
and executive vice chancellor. It
would be just a tremendous loss
of status.
Vitter called the AAU the
premier collection of research-
extensive uni-
versities in the
country. He
said a loss of
membership
would make
it increasingly
difficult for
the University
to attract the
best students
and faculty. It would also make
the University less appealing to
federal and private investors.
The University ranks in the
bottom half of all public universi-
ties that hold AAU membership.
It ranks in the bottom third of
all AAU institutions, both public
and private.
The University still needs to
be seen as this place when were
AAU thats looking to create and
discover new knowledge, said
Student Body

Wade Smith.
We might
have gotten
off track with
that and need
to get focused
again.
A n d r e w
Wendorff, a
senior from Shawnee, said more
than anything AAU member-
ship was a point of pride for the
University.

There is conflict in LaLa Land,
a small world created every
Thursday in a classroom in
Murphy Hall.
The Floating Isle of Terror
declared war on New York.
Meanwhile, the country of
Gumenheimer sat back and
watched these two warring lands
come to an agreement of bound-
aries and shared resources like a
peaceful adviser.
This may sound like a political
science experiment or an eco-
nomics lesson, but its actually a
drama lesson for Lawrence kids.
Every semester for 27 years, pro-
fessor Jeanne Klein has brought
in middle school children to act
and play with University of Kansas
students in her class, Children
and Drama, taught through the
theater department.
The Lawrence Public Schools
do not offer drama classes to
middle school children. That is
why Klein began this free class
for local kids when she arrived at
the University.
LaLa Land was created by
this semesters group of fourth
through sixth graders. Its a world
with seven countries all vying for
territory, sparkles and a bigger
population. Each of the children
have created their own character
names and have aligned them-
selves with various countries
like New York, Lands R Us and
Spartel.
This really shows how we
can teach socialization skills,
said Rachel Enoch, a senior from
Manhattan enrolled in Children
and Drama.
Enoch, like many of the stu-
dents enrolled in the class, is not
a theater major. Professor Klein
local kids play, act at KU

Associated Press
AssociAted Press
NEW YORK Thousands of
laborers, police officers and fire-
fighters suing New York City over
their exposure to toxic World
Trade Center dust have until
Monday to decide whether to join
a legal settlement that could ulti-
mately pay them as much as $815
million.
More than 10,000 people have
sued the city and a long list of
companies that handled the mas-
sive cleanup of lower Manhattan
after the 9/11 attacks.
Many claim to be suffering
from illnesses caused by inhaling
the pulverized remnants of the
twin towers. Their lawsuits blame
the government and its contrac-
tors for failing to provide proper
equipment to protect their lungs.
The vast bulk of the litigation
could be over on Monday.
Paul Napoli, a leader of the
legal team representing most of
the plaintiffs, told The Associated
Press on Friday that with Mondays
deadline looming on the largest
and most important of several
related settlements, 90 percent of
those eligible had said yes to
the deal.
An all-out effort was being
made to get the rest to join on, he
said. He said he and other lawyers
in the firm were being besieged
with questions from clients still
trying to chose between taking
the money, or
rejecting it and
taking their
case to trial.
A lot of
people appear
to be making
a last minute
decision, he
said. Its like
tax day ... there
is going to be a
lot of last min-
ute wrangling.
Under the terms of the deal, at
least 95 percent of the plaintiffs
must opt to participate for the
settlement to become effective.
Napoli said he was feeling good
about hitting the target, although
he added that getting the paper-
work finished for each claim by
midnight on the deadline will be
no small feat.
Im hopeful there will be a little
leeway, he said.
The Monday deadline techni-
cally applies only to a settlement
negotiated between Napolis legal
team and the citys attorneys in the
spring.
That deal
would distrib-
ute as much
as $712 mil-
lion among the
workers, based
on the sever-
ity of their ill-
nesses and the
likelihood they
could be linked
to the 9/11
attacks.
But since that deal was inked,
the firm has worked out similar
agreements with other defendants
in the case, including the agency
that owns the World Trade Center
site, that will add to the total value
of the pot.
An insurance company that
represented the operators of
barges that carried rubble from
Manhattan to Staten Island after
the attacks has agreed to settle for
$28 million, Napoli said.
Other entities, including those
involved in the debris-sorting
operation at the citys Fresh Kills
landfill, have agreed in princi-
ple on settlements that will add
another $100 million, he said.
Some rescue and recovery
workers who had been outspoken
critics of the deal early on have
decided in the end to sign.
Retired Fire Department Lt.
Kenny Specht, who now leads a
fraternal group for New York fire-
fighters, was among them.
Like others, he said the pay-
ments responders will receive
under the deal will never be
enough to compensate for their
illnesses.
But he called the settlement,
the best we were going to do.

odd news
Though it didnt affect his
decision to come here, he said
it was beneficial in his research
involving high-energy particle
physics.
Whats most worrisome
to University officials is the
Universitys ranking compared
to all research-extensive univer-
sities in the United States. Half
of the 65 universities outside
the AAU are performing better
than the University.
Many of those universities have
outperformed the University in
things such as federal expen-
ditures and the number of
faculty citations, indicators of
research excellence used by the
AAU to determine member-
ship. Membership is renewed
annually. Because of that, AAU
institutions must maintain a
comparatively high research
profile for fear of being
replaced.
KU absolutely wants to be
among the leaders of the AAU,
to never even be thought of
as an institution that might be
considered to exit the AAU,
Vitter said.
To accomplish that, he
formed a 50-member steering
committee charged with creat-
ing a comprehensive strategic
action plan for the University.
The plan will include ways
to improve the Universitys
research profile and to main-
tain AAU membership. He said
membership in the AAU was
essentially an affirmation that
KU is one of the greatest uni-
versities in the country.
As a member of the steer-
ing committee, Smith said he
had confidence in the ability of
University officials notably
the chancellor to improve
the Universitys research pro-
file. The University of North
Carolina, Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Littles previous school, is
consistently one of the top-per-
forming AAU members. Smith
said she was a major contribu-
tor to North Carolinas success.
She knows what needs to
be done and how to do it, he
said. Im hoping that with the
strength of her leadership well
move a lot closer to being a top
10, top 15 program.

said this class draws students
from virtually every major on
campus. Ashley Smith Maybon,
a junior from Norton, is an edu-
cation major. She wants to teach
elementary school students, and
she said these exercises with
kids would really help them in
understanding and dramatizing
literature.
Its like making lesson plans
that are more active to get kids
out of their seats, Smith Maybon
said.
The kids, some of them new
to the class and some returning
actors and actresses, are able to
jump into their roles in a way that
the college students find surpris-
ing, Klein said. Each semester,
Kleins young actors follow a dif-
ferent plot line for four weeks.
This semester, its LaLa Land.
Its my favorite class Ive
taken, said Sydona Kegin, a
sixth grader who attends Broken
Arrow Elementary. Kegins char-
acters name is Shrine, and she is
playing a character whos always
in need of sparkles.
All of their characters, includ-
ing Paul the Zombie, Toad and
George the Dragon, have differ-
ent motives in the course of this
land. Leading most of the action
is Klein and a student playing the
Greek god Kronos. Klein said the
kids are learning the organic pro-
cess of what theater is. It involves
plot, characters, movement and
conflict resolution.
The goal is not to put on a
show; the goal is for us to create
together, Klein said.
She also said the class is
about self-expression and letting
the kids also put themselves in
another persons shoes to under-
stand different points of view.
After their class this Thursday,
LaLa Land will cease to exist.
All of the lands will have to
determine a resolution to their
issues regarding who gets the
most sparkles. Negotiations have
already begun.
If you share your sparkles,
one character from Spartel said,
we can share our food.
The University students must
create a story line for the kids
to follow for the two weeks after
that. This teaches them how to
create a lesson plan and a drama,
Klein said. For Klein and most
of her University students, all of
the learning comes directly from
observing the kids.
Its really the children who do
the teaching, Klein said. I can
talk all I want about good ideas
and what to do, but the kids are
going to let you know if its a
good idea or not.

Although she lived in Lawrence,
KU graduate Jennifer Kongs found
herself last year driving about 30
miles outside of town to purchase
a bag of flour. It wasnt that she
couldnt afford the flour at local
stores; Kongs was in the middle of
an experiment to see if she could live
an entire month as a locavore. This
meant that from mid-September
though mid-October, Kongs could
only eat food produced within 100
miles of Lawrence.
I decided last minute to do it
for my Geography of American
Foodways class, said Kongs, now
a farmhand at Hoyland Farms out-
side of Lawrence. The only thing
I really made an exception for was
salt and pepper.
With many products in the gro-
cery store traveling an average of
1,500 miles to reach the shelves,
locavores seek to support farmers
that they know will pay their work-
ers fair wages and will not use farm-
ing techniques that harm the earth.
Anymore youre not what you
eat but where you eat, said Chris
Brown, an associate professor in the
geography department. Every time
you eat something, youre not just
absorbing the nutrition of the food
but the cultural and social context
that the food came from.
For Kongs, being a locavore
meant that she could no longer
eat things like cinnamon, maple
syrup or coffee, which are all grown
outside of Lawrence. While she was
able to eat fruits like apples, Kongs
still found her diet consisting of
a lot more meats and cream than
normal, products heavily produced
in the Lawrence region.
Honestly, for a while it was great,
but then I just started to feel heavy,
Kongs said.
Kongs kept
in shape during
her experiment
by biking to
and from class
every day.
I didnt
notice a change
in my energy
level, Kongs
said. I was so
busy and just
biking so much
that it was just
one of those
things where I was constantly hun-
gry.
The price of food is another con-
cern for those who seek to eat a
more local-oriented diet.
Saira Kahn, a senior from
Lawrence, said she spends an aver-
age of $100 to $150 a month on
foods that fit her healthy lifestyle.
I definitely try to eat foods that
are from the area, Kahn said. But
its not always convenient to do so
when youre working late and dont
have a lot of time to eat.
While being a locavore is not
always convenient for a fast-paced
lifestyle, those who take the time
to eat local foods may benefit from
better health.
There are
studies out
there that say
that the longer
a food is off of
its life support,
the more nutri-
ents it loses,
Brown said.
Some foods
can change a lot
as the natural
rotting process
occurs.
At the end
of her experiment, Kongs broke
her diet with an apple from New
Zealand and a Bearclaw bar. While
she said that she wasnt necessarily
more healthy during her month as
a locavore, Kongs said in the long
run her experiment made her more
aware of the foods she was putting
in her body.
There really is no limit to the
amount of reasons for why its a
good idea, Kongs said. Its not
always convenient but if a person
just wanted to make small changes
like buying some of their food at
the farmers market or even pur-
chasing the local products sold in
stores like HyVee I think theyd
find themselves feeling better about
their diets.

Every time you eat
something, youre not just
absorbing the nutrition of
the food but the cultural
and social context that
the food came from.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
S
o, 84 percent of American
men between 25 and 29 years
old had masturbated during
the past year, according to a study
released last month in Te Journal
of Sexual Medicine. Men of that
age were the most active in self-
pleasuring. Youre not shocked?
I am!
Im shocked that as many as
16 percent of men between 25 and
29 didnt report any masturbation
for at least a whole year. Impotence
is rather unusual among people
that age and men physically have
a higher need to release energy
than women. Consequently, there
are some men either lying in the
anonymous survey or running
around in pain. Seventy-four
percent of women reported having
masturbated in the past year. For
those without math skills, thats 26
percent of young women not laying
hand on themselves.
Most media commentators
ridiculed Christine ODonnell this
year for her view of masturbation
as a sinful act that shows weakness
if given in to. Yet, seeing those
numbers makes me think if there
are ODonnell fans out there who
actually believe that you-can-get-
blind-when-youre-jacking-of
story dads like to tell.
Ive never understood how
masturbation could be demonized,
except that someone read it into a
sentence in the Bible. Masturbation
is clean, painless, pleasurable and
satisfying. It doesnt harm anyone
or hurts anyones feelings; afer all, it
doesnt involve anyone else. No one
can go too far, because we know
exactly when we need some more
or have enough. Te only danger in
masturbation is the embarrassment
of your roommate or parent
walking into the room while youre
at it; or the negligent use of toys.
Still, this cannot be what people
mean when talking bad about
masturbation.
Some may argue that it is
unnatural because men and women
are made to only have sex with each
other. But given the human sexual
drive, we would have long run out
of food because of overpopulation if
we had sex the usual way instead.
Many people also dont have the
advantage of a partner who gives
them exactly what they need in
exactly the right dose. Instead of
looking for a meaningless substitute
and risking diseases, people are
better served with self-stimulation
in their safe homes.
And if the partner does come
along, itll be easier to show him or
her how to please you when you
already found out how to please
yourself. You could also watch each
other to learn more about your
preferences. Once you get past the
initial barrier of sharing a very
private moment with your partner,
you might fnd that it turns you on
as well. Afer all, youre naked and
aroused during sex, too, so whats
really the diference?
Masturbation is not only a
stimulant; it will also help you
reduce stress, a common problem
among college students. Tat extra
circulation boost can further keep
your skin and heart healthy. What
better way is there to stay healthy
and get some exercise (except sex,
of course)?

Immediately following the
midterm elections, newspaper
headlines from around the world
told the tale of an American
president embarrassingly
defeated and apologetic of his
presidency thus far.
From titles such as No We

Obama Admits He Needs to
Do a Better Job Afer Election
Beating in the London
Guardian, to pouting faces of
Obama on front pages from
Brazil to China, the international
media has cast Obama as a
chastised president of remorseful
policies.
Sadly, Obama sealed his
own fate, particularly in the
midterms, by allowing the media,
Republicans, and even some
Democrats, to spin his hard-
fought achievements against him.
Its a mystery to me how easily
the country has rendered Obama,
the most efective progressive
since FDR who managed the
largest economic disaster
since the 1930s while passing
healthcare reform, fnancial
reform, winding down the war in
Iraq, engaging with the Muslim
World, signifcantly expanding
Pell grants for low-income college
students, appointing more openly
gay ofcials than any other
president, creating more private
sector jobs than during entire
Bush years, signing a new START
Treaty with Russia, increasing
fuel economy standards, and
repealing restrictions on
embryonic stem cell research,
as a delinquent, incompetent
president out of touch with
Americas problems.
And yet, much of this
portrayal I fault with Obamas
recent demeanor. Instead of
touting his impressive record,
Obama took a defeatist line afer
the midterms and promised that
in the future he would simply try
to do a better job.
Now thats an Obama we
havent seen before.
And yet unfortunately, its
an Obama of whom we will
probably see more and more.
In his Op-Ed in the NY Times
yesterday, Obama wrote about
his upcoming trip to Asia that
surprised me in one line. He
wrote: If we can, well be able
to complete an agreement that
supports jobs and prosperity in
America.
If we can?
What happened to yes we can?
Obama needs to pull together
in the wake of his partys bloody
midterm results to regain the
confdence in his policies and
penchant to radiate hope that
propelled him to ofce in the frst
place.
Otherwise, Republicans and
Democrats alike will simply
be battling it out in Congress,
conducting phony investigations,
and bickering about power,
while attempting to fx American
problems, if they can.

It is not fair to put all the blame
on Four Loko for the recent
hospitalizations of college students.
First of all, alcohol in itself is
dangerous. No matter if it is mixed
with a stimulant or a mixer, when
one consumes alcohol, one is
putting a toxin in his or her body.
We all know this, but do it anyways
to alleviate stress, celebrate the
end of a hard week, or out of
depression.
Four Loko has hit the
demographics of college students.
Lets be honest, college students
love cheap fun. Terefore, scare
tactics such as blackout in a
can or liquid cocaine dont the
cause. Secondly, advertising that
the product as only $2.50 is not
helping any preventative measures
either. If college students know
they can become intoxicated fast
and for cheap, then of course they
will try it.
Hopefully, the numbers should
not surprise or scare you 660
calories for a 23.5-ounce can? A
6.5-ounce margarita can have up
to 246 calories. A 4-ounce glass
of wine has about 200 calories. It
is true Four Loko has 12 percent
alcohol, but vodka and tequila
contain about 40 percent alcohol
per volume (ABV). Tis leaves the
30-plus hospitalized afer drinking
Four Loko. Central Washington
University sent nine students to
the hospital for over-consumption
of this drink. It is important to
note that toxicology reports show
other substances, including beer,
hard liquor and possibly illegal
substances were found in these
students bodies. Also, these
students were inexperienced
drinkers ranging from 17- to
19-year-old freshmen.
Will banning this drink really
solve anything? Even before Four
Loko students have been drinking
rum-Coke, Red Bull-vodka and
Jager bombs. Phusion Projects,
the makers of Four Loko, made
a product to satisfy the drinking
urges of college students. If
consumed in a safe manner, this
product should not be regarded
as any more dangerous than your
average malt liquor drink.
Monica Saha is a junior from
Overland Park.

I have nothing against Marcus
Morris. We all know he is an
excellent basketball player. But
thats just it, we ALL know. He
has been on the front page of
every basketball related article for
months. Everyone knows by now
that he should be remembered.
But the other article said we
should forget Elijah Johnson?
Now maybe its just my
personal opinion, but I dont
think writing an article telling
people to forget about a player
will really help the team in any
way. Te best part about being a
Jayhawk during basketball season
is the pride and confdence we
put in our team.
We cant pick and choose who
to believe in and not believe in,
though. Tere are 16 players on
the KU basketball team, not one.
So maybe he had a bad night,
but he still is on the Kansas
basketball team, which is a huge
honor, so he must be doing
something right.
Yes, Marcus Morris is one of
the best players in the nation
right now and he will help us
earn many victories this season.
But that doesnt mean we should
forget about players who dont
have as much stardom as him.
It takes the whole team to win.
Im pretty sure Morris couldnt
do it on his own, even if it was
just against number 15 of the
Ichabods.

To the editor who put Yes,
obligatory V for Vendetta
reference. Now go watch the movie
and move on with your lives in
response to an FFA post :
Te poem that was quoted in
the post is a traditional poem
in reference to the historical
character Guy Fawkes. Nov. 5 is
Guy Fawkes Day, or Bonfre Night,
a day which has been celebrated
for more than 400 hundred years
in the UK, long before the flm
V for Vendetta. Yes, that poem
appeared in the movie, and yes,
its quite possible that the poster
was referencing the movie, but
we do have students here from
the U.K., and people of British
heritage in the U.S. ofen celebrate
this holiday, too. As an editor in a
prominent university newspaper, I
think you should realize this when
posting comments like that. If not
the poster, then at least certainly,
a good number of students view
this day as an important holiday
and not just some day that was
mentioned in a movie.
I know a lot of people in this
country view Guy Fawkes as
just a character in a movie. But a
newspaper has the opportunity
to educate people, or at least not
continue ignorance, so that is why I
am writing this short e-mail. I dont
think its a huge deal, Im just tired
of explaining to people that, yes,
Im celebrating Guy Fawkes Night
tonight, and no, it has nothing to
do with V for Vendetta.

Douglas County AIDS Project holds annual art auction
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
[email protected]
When funding was cut for the
bowls of condoms in the bars
downtown, Stephanie Stillman,
a senior from Plymouth, Minn.,
decided she wanted to volunteer
for the Douglas County AIDS
Project, or DCAP, to help get the
bowls back and promote safe sex.
Its happening anyways,
Stillman said. To have condom
bowls out in the open would be a
good thing.
This semester, through a ser-
vice-learning class, Stillman and
four other students had the oppor-
tunity to help DCAP raise money
through last nights annual Red
Ribbon Art Auction at Macelis,
1031 New Hampshire St., which
is DCAPs largest fundraiser. The
proceeds will help fund DCAPs
educational programs, emergency
assistance for clients and other
services. Last year, DCAP raised
about $20,000. This year it hopes
to raise $25,000. DCAP is a non-
profit organization that provides
AIDS-related services to Douglas,
Jefferson and Franklin counties.
The students have worked so
hard and their efforts are greatly
appreciated, Elena Ivanov, execu-
tive director of DCAP, said.
Caroline Dowey, a senior from
Overland Park, said the COMS 340
class chose to work with DCAP
because it was a great opportunity
to help the Lawrence community.
The class group created a proj-
ect called Art for Aids to collect
donated artwork from about 10
student artists. The students vis-
ited various art classes, tabled in
front of the Kansas Union and
passed out fliers to encourage art-
ists to donate their for the auc-
tion.
The group
c o l l e c t e d
almost 30 piec-
es of art ranging
from photogra-
phy to paint-
ings. Laura
Greenberg, a
senior from
Mi nneapol i s,
donated a piece
of printed
graphic art that she created on her
computer.
It was a great way to get involved
with something with meaning,
Greenberg said.
She said
AIDS aware-
ness is impor-
tant for all
students to
u nd e r s t a nd .
She said doing
s o m e t h i n g
that a person
enjoys to help
raise money
for awareness is a great quali-
ty. According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
in 2004 about 5 percent of all
people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS
were college-aged.
Stillman said she didnt think
students believe AIDS is as com-
mon as it was in the past. She said
it was especially important for stu-
dents to be aware of the issue.
Its good that people know what
is going on, Stillman said. AIDS
is just as pertinent as ever.

Sure, there was cheering and
celebrating outside of Memorial
Stadium Saturday afternoon. There
usually is when your team scores
35 unanswered points in the fourth
quarter to end an 11-game confer-
ence losing streak.
But something wasnt quite right.
A collective Did that just happen?
look donned the faces of more than
a few Kansas fans as they left the
stadium.
And it wasnt
just the fans who
were stunned
following the
52-45 come-
f rom- behi nd
victory.
Im not real-
ly sure what day
it is right now,
senior tackle Brad Thorson said.
It all seemed normal enough at
first, though.
Colorado scored on its first three
possessions before taking a 35-10
halftime lead. It was nothing new
for Kansas fans, as many of the
40,851 in attendance headed for
home while the band performed
its usual halftime show in front of
another dwindling crowd.
Colorado could have been
swapped out for Kansas State or
Texas A&M. It looked like an all
too familiar scene for the 2010 sea-
son: Kansas gets taken out early, the
fans retreat to their tailgating, the
onslaught continues in the second
half and fans wonder how much
worse it will get.
Coach Turner Gill had different
plans, however.
Trailing 35-10 at half, he told his
players, You all need to come out
here and get ready for the biggest
comeback ever.
And so they did.
Former third string quarterback
junior Quinn Mecham brushed
off two first half interceptions to
throw for 165 yards and two touch-
downs in the final thirty minutes.
Freshman running back James Sims
also got the halftime wake-up call,
running the ball for 117 yards in the
second half, including four touch-
downs in the final 19 minutes.
After Sims second touchdown
of the day shrunk the Buffalo lead
to 45-24 with
11 minutes left
in the game,
Gill decided to
attempt a sur-
prise onside
kick and keep
the momen-
tum with the
Jayhawks. The
recovery, Gill
said, was the
turning point of
the ball game.
We were
21 points behind at that time and
once we got that, that gave us some
momentum, he said. I really, really,
thought wed have a great chance to
win if we got that opportunity.
The offense capitalized on that
opportunity on the ensuing drive,
with senior wide receiver Johnathan
Wilson catch-
ing a 38-yard
touchdown pass
to cut the deficit
to 45-31.
As soon as
I scored that
touchdown, I
felt like we were
going to come
back and win,
Wilson said.
Im still in
shock. It was a
great game and
I really enjoyed myself.
Freshman cornerback Tyler
Patmon returned a Colorado fumble
the following possession 28 yards
for another Kansas touchdown, the
teams first defensive touchdown
since playing Texas Tech last sea-
son.
Were always told, whenever
theres a ball on the ground, to
scoop it and score it just in case,
Patmon said.
The play was reviewed but not
reversed, and the Jayhawks contin-
ued to erase the 35-point deficit that
was staring them down as the final
quarter began.
A incomplete pass from Colorado
quarterback Cody Hawkins in the
Kansas endzone ended the game,
giving the Jayhawks the biggest
comeback in school history. And
they only needed 11 minutes to
do it.
It was also the second-most points
scored in a fourth quarter come-
back in FBS history, just behind a
1990 game in which BYU scored
36 points in the fourth quarter to
defeat Washington State 50-36.
Im so proud of these players,
Gill said. They showed a lot of
character. This win means a lot for
our football program, and I think it
means a lot for our home and our
fans and everyone who came out.
Next time, the itch to bolt for the
hill might not be as strong.

All Kansas players score in win over Washburn
women's basketball
BY KATHLEEN GIER
[email protected]
The Kansas womens basket-
ball team finished the exhibition
portion of their season with an
80-46 victory against Washburn.
All 11 Jayhawks who suited up
for the game played and scored in
a well-balanced rout of the Lady
Blues who were ranked No. 9 in
the ESPN Division II Preseason
Coaches Poll.
If everyone can score then you
have to guard everybody, sopho-
more guard Monica Engelman said.
What I like about the team is we
are unselfish and I think that is
going to help a lot. Everyone can
score so everyone is an option so
that will help us.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson is
impressed with this years team and
their balance on offense.
I think that whole group is con-
fident offensively and they share
the ball. I think that is why every-
one scores because we let go of it,
she said.
The Jayhawks have been working
on ball rotation in practice, which
made this game smoother.
We work on it during prac-
tice just doing reps on offense and
defense, freshman guard Keena
Mays said. Whenever we get in
the game it is just natural.
There was a big shift from last
weeks performance to this game.
Sophomore forward Carolyn Davis
carried the team with 35 points and
17 rebounds. But everyones scor-
ing this week took the pressure off
Davis and showed the whole teams
potential.
We threw it so much to Carolyn
last week, which was fine and it was
the right thing to do, but I think
those young kids have a lot of con-
fidence and it was good to see some
of those kids step up and make
some shots, Henrickson said.
Having the ability to rotate the
lineup will be an advantage for the
Jayhawks this season.
Whenever anybody needs to
step up, just the starters whenever
they need a sub or whatever we
have bench depth and we can go to
the bench and we can carry on the
same intensity and energy, Mays
said.
Engelman stepped up as a leader
this game and finished with a game
high 20 points.
It feels good but I have to give
the credit to my teammates in
practice and the coaches getting
me prepared and coming early and
staying after getting some shots up,
Engelman said.
Though the Jayhawks had an
impressive offensive game, their
defensive efforts should not be over-
looked. Kansas was able to keep all
the Washburn players under double
digits in scoring for the whole game
and held the team to under 20
points in the second half.
During practice, Henrickson has
been focusing on decreasing turn-
overs and focusing on defense.
I thought defensively in one
week we showed a lot of progress,
Henrickson said. I thought the kids
got the message from last Sunday,
but I didnt think we were as active
and didnt use our speed, athleti-
cism and length like I had hoped
we would, but I thought message
heard and message accepted.
Kansas will take the court again
on Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. against South
Dakota at home.

CommentaRy
Thank God
for the
incredible
comeback
W
hat Turner Gill
said after Kansas
improbable 52-45
comeback win against Colorado
was everything you need to
know about the state of this
football program.
I first want to say thank
God, he said.
One year after being ranked
for half the season, this is what
has become of Kansas football.
Thank God Kansas was able to
beat Colorado at home.
A year and 20 days ago,
Kansas was ranked 25th in
the BCS. Now, a new coach is
thankful for beating Colorado
at home. Prior to this game,
the Jayhawks had won three of
the last four games against the
team that is now 0-5 in the Big
12 conference this year.
But if you were around Gill
after the game, you might
have thought the Jayhawks
had just won the National
Championship.
We just said we loved each
other, Gill said. We just all
hugged each other. Were going
to continue to move on a little
bit and yell and scream and
continue to celebrate. This is a
great win for our program, and
a great win for our players.
Kansas scored 35 points in
the fourth quarter to come back
against Colorado. The Jayhawk
defense allowed Colorado to
score on every possession but
one through the third quarter.
Next week were going to
have to do the same thing
against Nebraska and I feel like
this team right now is ready to
shock the world, junior line-
backer Steven Johnson said.
The Jayhawks played foot-
ball for only one quarter on
Saturday and if they do that
against Nebraska, they wont
win and they wont be shock-
ing anyone. The comeback was
incredible, but it masked what
was an embarrassing perfor-
mance for three quarters.
Freshman running back
James Sims scored four times.
Three of those touchdowns
came in the fourth quarter.
It felt great, Sims said. I
would just like to thank my
offensive line. They blocked for
me, and they believed in me
and I believed in them.
Sims performance was
admirable and it could be a real
springboard for this freshman
as he continues to develop.
What really gets to me is that
this reaction to a win at home
versus Colorado, regardless of
how it happened, truly shows you
how far this program has fallen
in the last couple years. It took a
miracle to win and Gill calls it a
huge victory for this program.
Im waiting for the day that
Gill has the Jayhawks ready so
theyre not down by 30 or 40
points at home in a conference
game. Credit to the players for
not giving up, but only if youre
at peace knowing youre one of
the worst teams in a BCS con-
ference will you thank God for
winning at home against a team
almost equally as bad.
If Kansas really did turn a
corner in the last five years,
lets not be satisfied with wins
against bad teams.

L
ast week, two of surfings
greatest icons were as
far apart as they could
be, as Kelly Slater won his 10th
world surfing championship
and Andy Irons died at the age
of 32.
Above all else, this was about
more than a win and a death;
it was about the highs and lows
of life, and just how vulnerable
it all is.
Take for example the seem-
ingly unexpected nature of
Irons death. At the time, he
was headed home to Hawaii
to seek medical treatment for
dengue fever, a tropical disease
spread my mosquitoes. But, he
never made it that far.
On Tuesday, Irons was dis-
covered dead in a hotel room
that he rented for a layover in
Dallas. It was initially believed
that he died from the fever,
however the investigation
turned toward a possible acci-
dental drug overdose, because
several prescription drugs were
found next to his bed.
To add to the tragedy of
Irons death, he leaves behind
his wife Lyndie Dupuis, who is
due to give birth to the couples
first child in one month.
He also leaves behind oppor-
tunities for a promising return
to surfing and the respect of
both friends and competitors.
Sadness within the surfing
community was widespread, as
even the world championship
was put on hold so that com-
petitors could commemorate
Irons with a traditional paddle
out.
Still, within five days of
Irons early death, Slater was
overcame the sadness of the
loss of a friend to rack up an
unprecedented win.
This win only intensified
the contrast between Irons low
and Slaters high. However, it
did serve to teach one lesson:
Ride the waves while youve got
them, because theres no guar-
antee as to how long theyll last.

Music from the Vaults
The Vaults will keep things
somber with a forgotten treat
from Manhattans Lower East
Side.
Suicide. Its a band name not
so obvious until you reach track
6 of 1977s Frankie Teardrop.
Littered with Martin Revs
nearly atonal synthesizer riffs
and Alan Vegas shrieks from
hell, the 10-minute song is
nothing short of a nightmare.
It tells the story of Frankie, a
factory worker who cant stand
the world anymore. I wouldnt
dare spoil the plot for you its
too important to experience for
yourself.
But just as Frankies tale is
essential to your ears, so too
is Suicide to any synth band
that followed. 50s rockabilly.
Glimmering pop. Punk rock
and poetry. Suicides music will
frighten you silly. Then youll
want to be frightened again.

NFL
aSSoCIatED PrESS
CLEVELAND Soaked to the
skin from a Gatorade shower, Eric
Mangini met his mentor at mid-
field and did everything he could
to contain himself.
It was tough not to smile.
His Cleveland Browns battered
one of the NFLs best.
Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy
scrambled for a touchdown, Peyton
Hillis hammered for a career-high
184 yards and two scores and the
Browns, using some trickery and
a ton of offensive imagination,
pounded the New England Patriots
34-14 on Sunday.
Two weeks after stunning New
Orleans, the Browns (3-5) pulled
off another shocker. Well rested
after their bye week, they ended
New Englands five-game winning
streak and did it decisively, out-
playing one of the NFLs top teams
for all 60 minutes.
This was no fluke. The Patriots
(6-2) were battered, baffled and
beaten badly.
It had to be particularly satis-
fying for Mangini, who defeated
Bill Belichick, his former friend
and mentor. The pairs relation-
ship was damaged years ago and
they ignored each other during
pregame warmups. After the game
Mangini shared a brief handshake
with Belichick.
Hillis, healthy at last after being
slowed by a thigh injury, scored
on a 2-yard run in the first, and
then put the Patriots away with
a 35-yard burst late in the fourth
to make it 34-14. He carried 29
times and picked up all 60 yards on
Clevelands game-sealing drive.
After the score, Browns offen-
sive coordinator Brian Daboll was
flattened by Pro Bowl tackle Joe
Thomas as they attempted a cel-
ebratory chest bump on the side-
line.
New Englands Tom Brady went
19 of 36 for 224 yards and two
TDs to rookie tight end Aaron
Hernandez. However, Brady lost
for the first time in five career starts
against the Browns, who jumped to
an early 10-0 lead and led by 17
entering the fourth.
Receiver Wes Welker kicked the
extra point on Hernandezs sec-
ond touchdown because Stephen
Gostkowski suffered a thigh injury
in the first half.
Brady was hindered by several
dropped passes and a crucial fum-
ble by tight end Rob Gronkowski
just before halftime, when the
Patriots, who came in averaging
a league-leading 29 points per
game, blew a chance to cut into
Clevelands 10-point lead.
With the game out of reach,
Brady was replaced in the final
minutes by Brian Hoyer.
McCoy, making his third straight
start, had his best game as a pro.
The third-round pick completed
14 of 19 passes for 174 yards, and
his TD run in the third gave the
Browns a 24-7 lead. With no receiv-
ers open, McCoy tucked the ball
and sprinted for the left corner. He
covered the final few yards with a
headfirst dive, the kind of heads-up
play that typified Clevelands day.
Phil Dawson kicked field goals
of 38 and 37 yards for the Browns,
who may just be better than their
record shows in their second season
under Mangini. With the exception
of a 28-10 loss to Pittsburgh, each
of Clevelands losses has been by 10
points or fewer.
After pulling off three trick plays
two weeks ago to upset the defend-
ing Super Bowl champions in New
Orleans, the Browns went back to
their magic act to open a 17-7
lead.
Cleveland shocks New England, 34-14

The Jayhawks swept the
Colorado Buffaloes Saturday in
the teams final meeting as Big
12 opponents. Kansas won with
scores of 25-19, 25-22 and 25-23.
In their previous meeting, the
Buffaloes topped the Jayhawks in
a five-setter at Boulder.
Senior outside hitters Karina
Garlington and Jenna Kaiser
scored 12 kills each and the team
had 11 blocks while the Buffaloes
struggled with errors and a low
hitting efficiency.
Kaiser said the Jayhawks made
blocking a priority when preparing
for the match.
I think that we just get really
frustrated that were always con-
sidered a not-good blocking team,
she said. So we were working real-
ly hard on pressing tonight.
Tolefree said Colorados smaller
hitters counted on using Kansas
hands against them to send the ball
out of bounds for points.
We knew we had to be really,
really disciplined with our blocks,
Tolefree said. And just really con-
trol our hands and make them
swing a certain way and not use
us.
The Jayhawks took a nine-
point lead in the first set, gain-
ing momentum when Garlington
followed up a kill with back-to-
back blocks together with redshirt
freshman middle blocker Carline
Jarmoc, who also scored a service
ace. Sophomore middle blocker
Tayler Tolefree went three for three
in the first set and added a solo
block on her way to finishing the
match with a team-high .571 hit-
ting percentage. Tolefree scored
eight kills and no errors and led
the team with five blocks.
Coach Ray Bechard said he
thought Tolefree who was also
celebrating a birthday Saturday
had a lot of fun.
I guess she wanted to party like
it was her birthday, Bechard said.
The Buffaloes recorded seven
attack errors and five service errors
in the opening frame, hitting for
only 194 efficiency. So despite
Colorado besting Kansas in kills
14-10, Kansas came out on top
25-19.
In the second set, both teams
saw their offensive numbers drop.
Colorado fell from .194 to .114
while Kansas came down from .273
to .163. But the Jayhawks contin-
ued to dig more and block more.
Jarmoc and junior outside hitter
Allison Mayfield added another
four blocks to the effort.
The Buffaloes, though not hitting
for a high efficiency, tried to make
up for it by making more attempts.
Sophomore Kerra Schroeder alone
took 26 shots by the end of the
second match eight more than
anyone else and came away with
10 kills. Kansas defense worked
hard to limit her success.
Freshman libero Brianne Riley
contributed seven digs in the sec-
ond set to keep the ball off of
the Kansas side. Overall, Riley
recorded 18 total digs in the match.
Bechard said Riley recorded 23
digs in three sets against Colorado
in their previous meeting.
She had a huge match out there,
he said. And then she got that con-
cussion, so I guess she gets a pretty
good read on Colorado.
The Buffaloes offense turned up
the pressure in the third set, taking
a narrow advantage in the begin-
ning and expanding that to a six-
point lead later in the set. Juniors
Anicia Santos and Richi Bigelow
scored five and six kills, respec-
tively and helped Colorado raise
its hitting efficiency by 50 percent.
A kill by Santos left Kansas in
its worst position of the match at
11-17.
Junior setter Nicole Tate set
Jarmoc up for a quick kill that
started the comeback. In short
order, Colorado suffered from four
ball-handling errors, ruining their
own momentum. Meanwhile, Tate
scored back-to-back service aces
and Tolefree followed a kill with
a block. Kaiser scored two kills
in quick succession, and Tate and
Jarmoc combined with a block to
close out the set and the match
25-22.
The win improves Kansas record
to 15-11 overall, 6-9 Big 12 while
Colorado drops to 6-15 overall and
3-12 in conference play.
The Jayhawks go to College
Station, Texas Wednesday. In
their last meeting, the Jayhawks
defeated the Aggies in five sets in
Lawrence.
But Tolefree pointed out that
Kansas has never won in College
Station.
We need to. We have five games
left and we need to get wins, focus
on playing consistently, she said.
You know, its not such a friendly
environment.

Quote of the Game
you all need to come out here and get ready for
the biggest comeback ever.
- Gill told his players this while trailing 35-10 at halftime.
Gill
Grades
Running backs: James Sims ran for 123 yards and a stagger-
ing four touchdowns in the second half during the comeback. As
a whole, the running backs tallied 165 yards in the second half. A
plus.
Quarterback: After throwing two interceptions in the frst half,
Quinn Mecham was perfect in the fnal thirty minutes. He threw
for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 12-12 passing in the second
half. b plus.
Defense: The frst half was nothing new for the defense, as Colo-
rado jumped out to a 35-10 lead. The second half was a diferent
story, however, as the unit held the bufaloes to a mere 10 points,
forcing a fumble and grabbing a Tyler Patmon interception in the
fourth quarter. b.
Coaching: Turner Gill decided to stay with the struggling
Mecham at halftime, and Mecham didnt disappoint. The decision
to throw the ball downfeld more opened up the running game in
the second half. Gills stoic demeanor also changed in the historic
second half. On more than a few bad calls, he was in the refs faces
or running down the sideline demanding an explanation. Tyler Pat-
mon said Gills fre pumped up the players in the fourth quarter. A.
Turning Point
down 45-24 in the fourth quarter, the coaching staf decided to
attempt a surprise onside kick, something they hadnt practiced
all year. bradley Mcdougalds recovery led to a Johnathan Wilson
touchdown four plays later. Colorados lead dwindled to 14 with
nine minutes left.

KANSAS FOOTBALL REWIND
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
[email protected]
twitter.com/c_thibodeaux
A player discovers his true capabilities in
the heat of battle, when the moment calls
for a leader to rise and inspire his team
when it needs him most.
The Jayhawks found out just who
they have in the quarterback position on
Saturday.
He definitely impressed everybody,
coach Turner Gill said about Mecham, who
started his second game of the season.
Mecham led a furious 35-point rally in
the fourth quarter of the greatest comeback
in the history of Kansas football, beating
Colorado 52-45. He finished the game
throwing 23-for-28 with 252 yards, two
interceptions and two touchdowns.
And to think Mecham wasnt even guar-
anteed the starting spot coming into the
game. But injuries to freshman Jordan
Webb and sophomore Kale Pick allowed
Mecham to orchestrate a comeback few
people were able to witness.
Call it the tale of two halves, when
Mecham threw two interceptions against
the wind before halftime. The Jayhawks
have benched the starting quarterback a
few times already this year, and Mecham
was about to become another.
He was doing things right, Gill said.
He just wasnt making the physical plays.
After his interceptions, Mecham was
visibly upset because of his own lack of
execution. He had open receivers but failed
to hit them.
I read the play right, I just wasnt throw-
ing the ball right, Mecham said. Thats the
frustrating part.
After contemplation and discussion, Gill
said, he and the coaching staff left him in
the game. In doing so, Mecham finished the
game as brilliant as any quarterback in that
situation could. In the fourth quarter the
quarter that garnered a Kansas record 35
points he went 8-for-8 with 124 yards
and a touchdown.
Quarterbacks are supposed to be the
vocal leaders of the team, but thats not
Mecham. He let his play do the talking.
Coach always says just do your part, he
said. And thats what we did.
But Mechams future role was not dis-
cussed in detail. Gill stuck to his tendency
of not revealing any key roster moves imme-
diately after the game. He said they would
evaluate the team and start the player that
gives them the best chance to win.
In only his second start, the coach-
es opened up the limited playbook for
Mecham a little more this game. The big-
gest difference was the shots he took down
the field, as opposed to the short dink and
dunk passes the Jayhawks usually run.
Mecham hooked up deep with senior
wide receiver Jonathan Wilson on one of
the key plays of the game. In the fourth
quarter, Mecham knew Colorado jumped
offsides before the snap, so he just launched
the ball to Wilson, who then broke away
from a defender for a 38-yard touchdown.
It brought the game to only a two-score
deficit.
There were several plays the team con-
sidered the turning point an onside
kick recovery and a fumble recovery on
defense to name a couple. But senior offen-
sive tackle Brad Thorson said that pass to
Wilson was the play of the game on offense
and a testament to the influence Mecham
brought to the Jayhawks.
That was a huge signal to the team
that it was time to put in that extra effort,
Thorson said.
Webb and Pick have both been in these
situations before, but couldnt get the team
remotely close to the production seen in
the fourth quarter of Saturdays game. In
that quarter, the Jayhawks scored 35 points.
In the four previous Big 12 games com-
bined, they scored 40.
Despite leading such a historic come-
back, Mecham will have to wait and see if
he is the starter in the next game at No. 8
Nebraska.
Itll be interesting to see, he said.

kansas 80, Washburn 46
Womens BasketBall ReWInD
Reason to Hope
Chemistry: The Jayhawks were
able to balance their scoring efort
among guards and forwards and
did not rely on sophomore forward
carolyn Davis as they did in their
victory against Fort Hays state.
kansas seems to have found a
rhythm and can work together as
a team despite its addition of four
freshmen this season. senior center
krysten Boogaard was also reintro-
duced to the lineup after battling
tendonitis in her left knee and miss-
ing the frst exhibition game.
Reason to Mope
Sloppy Plays: The Jayhawks
started the game with a turnover
on their frst possession. kansas
fnished the frst half with nine
turnovers spread across the lineup.
In the second half, the Jayhawks
found better control and only
recorded four turnovers. Washburn
fnished the game with 27 turn-
overs, which made the game easier
for kansas. Overall, kansas was
pretty smooth, but they still need
to work on passes into the lane and
avoid rushing plays in transition.
What to Watch For
Changes in the starting line-
up: In exhibition play, kansas has
found success with the current
starting lineup. But with Boogaard
playing again, the Jayhawks may
look at a shake-up in the starting
fve. coach Bonnie Henrickson
seems set on playing Davis, junior
forward Aishah sutherland, and
sophomore guards Monica en-
gelman and Angel Goodrich. The
last spot would is freshman Brooke
Jelnikers guard position, which
Henrickson insinuated last week
was up for competition among a
group of young talented guards. mike Gunnoe/kansan

Chargers score
frst road win of
season v. Texans
NfL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON Philip Rivers
found plenty of open wide receiv-
ers against the Houston Texans
pass defense on Sunday.
The NFLs leading passer threw
four touchdowns against the
leagues worst pass defense, and
the San Diego Chargers earned
their first road win of the season
in beating the Houston Texans
29-23.
San Diego tight end Antonio
Gates, the NFLs third-leading
receiver, was inactive with a torn
plantar fascia in his right foot.
Rivers hardly missed him, using
eight different receivers.
Rivers completed 17 of 23
passes for 295 yards. He came in
with 2,649 yards passing, an NFL
record through the first eight
games.
Rookie Seyi Ajirotutu and back-
up tight end Randy McMichael
caught two touchdown passes
apiece.
Ajirotutu was just moved up to
the active roster on Oct. 23, when
linebacker Kion Wilson went on
injured reserve.
The Chargers (4-5) head into
their bye week on their first two-
game winning streak of the sea-
son.
Arian Foster rushed 27 times
for 127 yards and two touch-
downs for the Texans (4-4),
whove dropped three of their
past four home games.
The Texans twice failed on
fourth down in the second half in
blowing a 23-14 lead.
McMichaels second TD catch
cut the lead to 23-21 with 5:55
left in the third quarter, and the
Chargers stuffed Foster on a
fourth-and-1 from the 17 early in
the final quarter.
Rookie Kareem Jackson has
taken much of the blame for the
Texans 32nd-ranked pass defense,
but he intercepted Rivers pass
to Ajirotutu near midfield with
about 12 minutes left.
Rivers atoned on the next pos-
session, throwing over Jackson
for a 28-yard touchdown pass to
Ajirotutu with 5:23 left.
Mike Tolbert jumped over the
pile for a 2-point conversion to
give San Diego a 29-23 lead.
The Texans offense stalled
twice in San Diego territory in
the final five minutes.
Referee Mike Carey flagged
Matt Schaub for intentional
grounding on a pass on third
down, backing up Houston to the
Chargers 48.
Tight end Joel Dreessen caught
a 13-yard pass and slid down
just short of the marker and San
Diego stopped Schaubs sneak
attempt on fourth-and-1.
The Texans used their timeouts
and forced a punt.
Foster took a screen pass and
gained 33 yards to the San Diego
39 just before the two-minute
warning.
The Chargers improved to 4-0
against the Texans after starting
the game with the kind of special
teams blunders that have hurt
them all season.
Oliver caught the opening
kickoff and inexplicably stepped
out of bounds at the San Diego 4.
Texans linebacker Stanford Keglar
then deflected Mike Scifres punt,
and Houston recovered at the
Chargers 8.

Top fnishes bring
end to fall season
This past weekend, the wom-
ens rowing team traveled to
Tennessee to compete in the
Head of the Hooch regatta to
close out thefall season. During
the competition, the Jayhawks
had a total of 10 top-10 perfor-
mances.
Senior Melanie Luthi had the
Jayhawks top finish, placing third
in the championship single event
with a time of 20:31.7. Other
top finishers in singleevent were
seniors Nicole Schneider, with
fifth place, Megahan Oven, with
sixth place, and Jessica Sadler,
with eighth place. In the open
quad competition, KU came in
third, fourth and sixth place.
Head coach Rob Catloth took
note of the many positive aspects
from the weekend.
It was good to get more racing
experience for our young kids,
said Catloth in a media release.
On Saturday there were close to
2000 boats that raced and prob-
ably another 1000 on Sunday. Its
one of the biggest races in the
U.S. We feel like we did pretty
well bringing home some med-
als.
In the championship double,
the team of Oven and Schneider
finished fourth out of 20 teams
with a time 19:23.4. The other
pair, senior Paige Stephens and
junior Cassy Cobble placed 10th,
timing in at 20:07.5.
In the Novice Eight race, KUs
two entries finished 13th and
16th out of 46 teams, completing
the course with times of 19:03:4
and 19:17. And finally in the
Novice Four, the Jayhawks took
seventh and 18th.
The Kansas rowing team will
open its spring season on March
11 when the women compete
in the three-day Oklahoma
Invitational in Oklahoma City.

Jayhawks were down 45-17 and rallied back to win the game 52-45.
Dolphins winning streak ends
NFL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE Billy Cundiff
and the Baltimore Ravens got
a kick out of ending the Miami
Dolphins run of success on the
road.
Cundiff made four field goals,
and the Ravens cranked up the
defense in the second half Sunday
in a 26-10 victory against the
Dolphins, who absorbed their first
road loss.
Baltimore (6-2) won its sev-
enth straight home game behind
Cundiff and a defense that
blanked Miami (4-4) after half-
time. Cundiff connected from 26,
39, 20, 24 yards and the Ravens
limited the Dolphins to 24 yards
rushing through the final 30 min-
utes.
Miami quarterback Chad
Henne went 22 for 34 for 231
yards and three interceptions.
Miami came in 4-0 on the road,
but the Ravens were seemingly
unimpressed. Baltimore never
trailed and pulled away after tak-
ing a 13-10 halftime lead.
Joe Flacco completed 20 of
27 passes for 266 yards and two
touchdowns for the Ravens, who
are 6-0 at home since 2001 after
a bye.
The Ravens finished with a
16-minute advantage in time of
possession thanks heavily to the
running of Ray Rice, who gained
83 yards on 22 carries.
