The jury also indicted Demario Atwater

Despite investigative records showing
that police think Carson was also shot with
a handgun, second suspect Laurence Lovette
does not face any weapons charges because
he does not have a felony record. Prosecutors
cannot consider Lovette??Ts juvenile record for
the purpose of lodging additional charges.
Both men were indicted March $1 on
first-degree murder charges in the March
5 slaying of the UNC-Chapel Hill student
leader. She was shot five times, according to
an autopsy report released last week.
Orange-Chatham District Attorney Jim

New Yorker magazine takes satirical cover cartoon too far
Caricature viewed as
??tasteless and offensive???
AP
A satirical New Yorker maga-
zine cover cartoon depicting Barack
Obama and his wife as flag-burning,
fist-bumping radicals drew outrage
from the Democratic presidential
candidate??Ts campaign as it appeared
on newsstands Monday.
- The illustration, titled ??The Poli-
tics of Fear??? and drawn by Barry Blitt,
depicts Obama wearing traditional
Muslim clothing ??" sandals, robe and
turban ??" while his wife, Michelle, has
an assault rifle slug: re rer - one shoul-
der and is dressed in ??camouflage and
combat boots with her hair in an Afro.
A flag burns in a fireplace behind
them as they exchange a fist bump;
the affectionate greeting they used
onstage the night Obama clinched the
Democratic nomination. A Fox News
anchor later referred to it as a possible
??terrorist fist jab.??? A portrait of Osama
bin Laden hangs above the fireplace.
The cartoon, which Obama??Ts
campaign said was ??tasteless and
offensive,??? is not explained inside the
magazine. The issue, dated July 21,
also contains a 15,000-word story
about Obama??Ts political education and
early sca in Chicago.
The cartoonist??Ts previous covers
include a drawing of President Bush
and his inner circle floating up to their
elbows in water inside the Oval Office,
for an issue published just after Hur-
ricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans.
In a statement, the magazine said
the cover combines ??fantastical images.
about the Obamas and shows them for
the obvious distortions they are.???
??The burning flag, the national-
ist-radical and Islamic outfits, the fist-
bump, the portrait on the wall? All of
them echo one attack or another,??? the
magazine said.
Obama, who is Christian, ??~as long
fought rumors that he is secretly a
Muslim. His wife has endured her own
attacks, including ones that claimed there
was videotape of her criticizing ??whitey???
from a church pulpit. The Obama cam-
paign says there is no such tape because
she never spoke at a church.
The magazine said satire is part
of what it does ??to hold up.a mirror to
prejudice, the hateful and the absurd.
And that??Ts the spirit of this cover.???
New Yorker editor David Remnick
told the Huffington Post Web site that
the cover was chosen because it had
something to say.
??I can??Tt speak for anyone else??Ts
interpretations, all I can say is that it ©
combines a number of images that have
been propagated, not by everyone on
the right but by some, about Obama??Ts
supposed ??~lack of patriotism??T or his
being ??~soft on terrorism??T or the idiotic
notion that somehow Michelle Obama
is the second coming of the Weather-
men or most violent Black Panthers.
That somehow all this is going to come
to the oval office,??? Remnick said.
Asked about the cover on Sunday,
Obama said, ??I have no response to that.???
His spokesman, Bill Burton, said:
??The New Yorker may think, as one
of their staff explained to us, that their
cover is a Satirical lampoon of the carica-??"
ture Senator Obama??Ts right-wing critics
- have tried to create,??? Burton said. ??But ©
most readers will see it as tasteless and
eoffensive. And we agree.???
Obama??Ts opponent, Republican
John McCain, concurred that the
_ cover was out of bounds, calling it
??totally inappropriate, and frankly I
understand if Senator Obama and his
supporters would find it offensive.???
New York Mayor Michael Bloom-
berg, an independent who has sup-
ported Obama??Ts fight to debunk the
rumors, said even humorists need to
be careful.
??We all have to watch very care-
fully what we say ??" our attempts
at humor, our attempts at informing
people ??" because some of what we
say can be misinterpreted and do real
damage,??? he said.

Opinion
The Easy Way Out
Is Not So Easy
Putting a damper on
diabetes
ANDREA ROBERTSON
OPINION WRITER
Bariatric surgery, a procedure
that many seek as a last resort
to major weight loss, sometimes
receives a bad reputation for giving
its recipients an easy way out of
weight problems. However, new
research suggests that a bariatric
surgical procedure could lead to a
cure in type two diabetes.
Originally, it was thought that
to cure this type of diabetes all
one needed to do was lose weight;
however, the findings of Dr. Karen
Foster-Schubert, an instructor at
the University of Washington in
Seattle, suggests that the metabolic
and hormonal changes brought on
by this surgery are responsible for
alleviating type two diabetes, not
simple weight loss alone.
The CDC reports that out of
the approximate 40 million people
with diabetes, about 176,500 people
20 years old and younger have this
disease. Diabetes is no longer a dis-
ease just hurting the elderly; people
in their early 20s and teens are
being afflicted by this epidemic.
With more research conducted,
not only will doctors be able to
save their patients??T limbs, vision,
and organs, they will be able to
save their lives. By finding a cure
for this diabetes through bariatric
surgery, we can prevent some of the
300,000 unnecessary deaths a year
that are caused by obesity.
This surgery is able not only
to improve the quality of life, but
also to ultimately save the lives
of many who are overweight and -
it may rid many of insulin depen-
- dence. It is not a cure-all solution.
People who receive a bariatric
surgery are informed that this is
a life-style change. Physicians tell
their patients that if they do not
: me
and a better quality of life.
Diabetes is not a disease that
is easy to live with; patients must
constantly check their insulin
and be cognizant of what they.
are ingesting. People suffer from
diabetic comas, diabetic seizures,
insulin attacks, amputations, organ
loss and failure. If researchers can
find a cure, it should be used to cure:
those who need help.
With all of these health find-
ings, it is absurd to suggest that
bariatric surgery is an unnecessary
surgery. As researchers gain more
knowledge of the effects of bariatric
surgery on type two diabetes, we
will hopefully not only be able to
better the lives of millions but also
be able to make this form of diabe-
tes an epidemic of the past.

Can cell phones cause cancer?
Debate still puzzles ??"
experts and consumers
ERIN EDWARDS
FEATURES EDITOR
The cell phone is one of the most used
technological advancements created over
the past decade with over a billion people
across the world owning at least one.
According to estimates by the Cellular Tele-
communications and Internet Association,
over 219 million Americans subscribe to a
cellular service, a number that has exploded
since the introduction of wireless mobiles
in the 1990s.
However, many wonder if cell phones
are doing more harm than good. It has been
debated for over a decade, with differing
opinions and data leaving many consumers
and experts puzzled. With new reports
coming from both sides of the argument, the
question of whether cell phones are linked
to cancer is heating up.
Sometimes smaller than the palm of
a hand, cell phones are equipped with the
ability to reach anyone at any time almost
??~anywhere in the world, but there has been
speculation that there might be a link
between the transmission of radio frequen-
cies that could be absorbed by the head and
neck. This has indicated to many experts the
possibility of a link between cell phone use
and three types of rare tumors, including
glioma, cancer of the parotid (a salivary
gland near the ear) and acoustic neruoma
(a tumor that usually forms where the ear
meets the brain).
Normally, the types of radiation emit-
ted by mobiles are non-ionizing, making
them too weak to set off DNA damage that
has been known to cause cancer. There is
no known data indicating that this kind of
radiation is responsible for cancer.
The Food and Drug Administration
has released information on three studies
since 2000, concluding that cell phone
usage shows no harmful effects. Research-
ing a span of around three years, the FDA
has noted that much of the research is
flawed with no data pertaining to long-
term exposures or indication of casual or
heavy use.
The long-standing debate has led
to countless research efforts, including
INTERPHONE, a series of international
case-controlled studies of cancer in rela-.
tions to mobile telephone use. Funded by
the European Union, the INTERPHONE
studies are comprised of various studies
from over 13 countries,.all of which indi-
vidually publish their findings. These
findings will only be drawn when the pooled

Everything but the skin
A sunscreen with an SPF of at we 15 is recommended fx sunbathers.
Students still bake
in the sun despite
warnings
ELISE PHILLIPS
EDITOR IN CHIEF
According to Dr. William
Burke, residency program director
and professor of medicine at ECU??Ts
Brody School of Medicine, many
students worry about what to eat
and how to exercise but not about
their skin.
??I see students that do every-
thing in their power to stay healthy,
and then they're tan,??? said Dr.
Burke. ??It??Ts crazy. Tan skin is
unhealthy skin.???
Yet, students flock to the tan-
ning bed, beach or pool for that
golden tan every year. According
to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 2.3
million American young people use
tanning beds each year in the U.S.
According to Dr. Burke, it is
estimated that we get 80 percent
of our sun exposure by the time
we are 21.
Many students have heaed the
warnings. Tanning can result in
premature skin aging; damage to
the immune system and of course,
cancer, according to the American
Academy of Dermatology; however,
the myth that tan skin is healthy
still pervades our society.
Mallory Osbrown, tanning bed
operator at the Sunshine Factory
Tanning Salon in Greenville and an
ECU graduate student, says that tan-
ning beds are popular among college
students and thinks that tanning at
this age is worth the risks.
??Despite the warnings, I think
there are good effects that come from
tanning beds,??? Osbrown said.
Like Osbrown, people think
that getting Vitamin D from the
sun is a healthy reason to tan,
but only a little bit of sun gives
people the et Gs amount
of Vitamin D.
In fact, ??you only need 15 min-
utes of face and arm [sun] exposure
to get the needed amount of Vita-
min D,??? Dr. Burke said.
- Dr. Burke says that one in three
people from the Southern U.S.,
like here in North Carolina, will
develop basal cell skin cancer in
their lifetime. This type of cancer
can cause loss of appendages.
An estimated one in 70 will
develop melanoma, the deadliest
form of skin cancer.
Another scary statistic is that
1.3 million new cases of skin cancer
will be diagnosed this year, accord-
ing to the American Academy
of Dermatology.
Although the statistics are out
_ there, Dr. Burke says that many
younger Americans are more con-
cerned about how they look than.
about developing skin cancer.
The Skin Cancer Foundation??Ts
official Web site says ??There??Ts
nothing wrong with your natural
skin tone: it shows you're smart
about sun protection, which will
keep you: looking younger longer.
But for people who want some
color without sacrificing their skin,
sunless tanning lotions and sprays
provide a safe option.???
So how can you stay safe in the
sun this summer?
When going out in the sun, Dr.
Burke suggests putting on an SPF
15 sunscreen, 30 minutes before
getting some rays, and applying
it again every two to three hours
after that.
After years of warnings and
statistics, many young Ameri-
cans still opt for tan skin, but Dr.
Burke says that those who put their
looks over their health will not be
happy later. .
??The American Cancer society
hasa saying, ??~fry now, pay later??T and

VACATION continued from page 6
??Some people get into the mindset that ??~I am on vaca-
' tion so I can eat anything I want.and/or I do not need to
exercise,??? said McDonald. ??With that, many will eat all
mieals out at restaurants, which typically consist of huge
portion sizes or ??~all you can eat buffets.???
_ McDonald stresses that to avoid weight gain it is
important to decide on healthy choices before heading
out on vacation, including sharing meals instead of
ordering an entire entrée for one, packing food, drink-
ing water with all meals, or skipping restaurants all
together and cooking for yourself.
??If you plan ahead for these ??~high risk??T situa-
tions then you are more than likely to stay on track,???
5 McDonald said.
ECU student Jan Bowers believes that overeating
isn??Tt the only bad decision vacationers make. Exercise
is a large factor often ignored that can eventually result
in weight gain.
??A lack of exercise can also be a problem that many
people have while on vacation, but a way to combat that
is to maintain a form of exercise that will burn some
calories without having to feel like you are going to the
gym,??? said Bowers. ??For instance, ifsomeone is going to -
the beach, taking a brisk walk on the beach or a couple of
laps in the pool will make a considerable difference.???
Using her own experiences, Bowers offers up the
90/10 rule, meaning that if a person eats healthy 90
percent of the time, then they can eat unhealthy 10
percent of the time. Along with healthy food choices,
Bowers recommends eating whole grains and fiber,
which can help you feel fuller longer and cuts down
on snacking between meals.
So whether one chooses the grilled chicken over
the fried chicken, healthy decisions are still possible
while taking a break from everyday life. It is important
to avoid creating excuses that can stray away from
wise eating habits, but is it just as essential to allow
yourself to splurge a little. Stay active and try to bal- |
ance food intake with physical activity. If travelers
are able to eat healthy on vacation, then they can do
so anywhere else.

analysis of the full international data is validated
and published in its entirety.
Such an internationally coordinated effort was
created due to the growing debate of whether cell
phones and cancer are linked and the lack of relevant
research data available to the public. According to
the Mobile Manufactures Form, the project ??focuses
on cancers that occur in the head and neck in areas
of relatively high exposure to radio signals during
mobile usage.???
For ECU sophomore Ira Lawson, the idea that
cell phones might be causing cancer could affect his
everyday routine.
??I never leave anywhere without my phone
because I use it for absolutely everything. It is
almost attached to my body- with reminders,
schedules and an overall contact with anyone at
anytime,??? said Lawson. ??I??Tm not too sure if cell
phones cause cancer, but I wouldn??Tt be surprised
if they did. Cell phones are powerful devices that
transmit so much.???
While there is no concluding evidence from
both sides of the argument about the link between
cell phones and cancer, experts say that consum-
ers worried about a possible relation should opt to
use speakerphone to prevent putting the earpiece
against the side of their head.

Morneau wins derby; Hamilton steals show
Josh Hamilton??Ts dazzling home run display captured the
attention of Yankee Stadium.
Texas Ranger wins
over Bronx faithful
(AP)
Josh Hamilton dreamed it. Now he??Ts
done it. With a dazzling display of power
Monday night, the Texas Rangers slug-
ger hit a record 28 homers in the first
round of the All-Star Home Run Derby
at Yankee Stadium before he was beaten
out by Minnesota??Ts Justin Morneau in
the finals.
Morneau topped a tired Hamilton 5-3
in the last round, giving him the derby title.
But the night belonged to Hamilton.
Back from drug and alcohol addiction
that derailed his career, Hamilton broke
Bobby Abreu??Ts mark for one round. Abreu
hit 24 home runs in the first round in
2005 at Detroit??Ts Comerica Park.
Hamilton??Ts incredible tale of redemp-
tion has made national news this season,
and he retold a story Monday afternoon
about a vivid dream he had two years
Q. 3 :
ago??"he was being interviewed at
Yankee Stadium after participating in
the Home Run Derby.
??I can say it was a coincidence, but I.
don??Tt believe in those,??? he said.
Mind you, his dream came while
Hamilton was still banned from Major
League Baseball, and before this year??Ts
All-Star game was awarded to the vener-
able ballpark in its final season.
??Obviously, the dream, I didn??Tt know
how many I would hit,??? Hamilton said in
a T'V interview after his huge first-round
performance. ??I just feel blessed to have
played here.???
With the crowd of 53,716 chanting
his name; undoubtedly warmed by his
improbable journey to stardom, Ham-
ilton connected on 13 consecutive cuts
before falling short of the fences on his
final two.
??I got chills,??? he said.
Hamilton was drafted No. 1 overall
by Tampa Bay in 1999, with some vet-
eran scouts calling him the best prospect
they'd ever seen. He finally reached the
majors last year with Cincinnati, then
was traded in the offseason for All-Star
pitcher Edinson Volquez in a deal that
has paid off immensely for both teams.
With his smooth left-handed swing
and jaw-dropping power, Hamilton
seemed a natural choice to take advan-
tage of Yankee Stadium??Ts short right-
field porch. But he cleared the deepest
fences with ease, hitting three shots
farther than 500 feet ??" including his
longest estimated at 518.
That was the third-longest drive in
the 19-year history of the derby, behind
Sammy Sosa??Ts 524-foot homer in 2002
at Miller Park in Milwaukee and Frank
Thomas??T 519-footer in 1994 at old Three
Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.
Hamilton??Ts 28 homers in the first
round were the second-highest total for
an entire derby, behind Abreu??Ts 41 for
Philadelphia in 2005.
Signing autographs for pies
young kids between swings, Hamilton
took a few deep breaths and received high
fives from his Texas teammates on the
AL All-Star squad. Rangers designated
hitter Milton Bradley even strolled to
the plate to wipe off Hamilton??Ts forehead
with a towel.

Mid-season awards
HART HOLLOMAN
STAFF WRITER
Mid-July is always a special
time for baseball players and fans
alike. The MLB All-Star Game is
a fun experience for those involved
and a time to sit back and reflect on
the first half of the season.
It also brings its fair share of
controversy to the baseball world.
Between head-scratching selections
and sometimes-criminal omissions
from the line-ups, the All-Star
Game always provides enough to
talk about during the. break and
this year was no exception.
The fan voting for the start-
ing line-ups always turns in some
dubious selections. This year was
no different. There is always the
potential for fan voting to turn into
a popularity contest for the players
in the biggest markets with the
most passionate fan-bases, and not
the most deserving players.
But, this game is for the fans
and the league stands by the selec-
tion process. This season, there
were a few strange selections
turned in by the fans.
In the National League, the
Cubs dominated the selections
with seven. Alfonso Soriano was
selected by the fans as starter but
. will be unable to participate due
to injury.
This is just as well because he
should: have never been selected
in the first place. His .283 batting
average and extended time on the
disabled list (he has been out since
June 11 with a broken hand) hardly
scream All-Star starter. After a
horrendous start he did come on
strong in May with 10 home runs,
but he is still undeserving of All-
Star status this season.
Likewise, his teammate Kosuke
Fukudome??Ts selection by the fans
was unwarranted. His rather
underwhelming stats of 7.HR, 36
RBI and..279 average are solid for a
Rookie of the Year candidate, which
he most certainly is, but not exactly
All-Star game starter quality.
Another selection that might
have gone in another direction
was made by manager Clint}
Hurdle in his decision to make the =
Brewers??T Ben Sheets the National
League starting pitcher. While
he has been impressive with 10
wins and 108 strikeouts, Tim
Lincecum seemed to be the most
impressive NL starter in the
first half of the season (Sorry,
Brandon Webb). The diminutive
Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum goes through the motions of his patented -
wind-up.
Giants ace put up 11 wins and 135
strikeouts with less run support
than Sheets received from the
potent Brewers line-up.
On the American League side,
it was the Red Sox who led the
way with seven selections. While
most were deserving of a spot

Brandon Jennings: Should he stay or should he gop
Prep star Brandon
Jennings covets Europe
KELLEN HOLTZMAN
SPORTS EDITOR
It looks like someone finally has
' the audacity to beat the system.
When Oak Hill point guard
Brandon Jennings mapped out
his career plans, a stay with a
European outfit was probably
the furthest thing from this prep
superstar??Ts mind.
Jennings began his prep career
at Dominguez High School in Los
Angeles??"the same Dominguez
High School that produced Tyson -
Chandler and Tayshaun Prince.
The stylish performer became
one of the most coveted prospects
in the nation after two seasons at
Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. Jen- -
nings is rated as a top-10 prospect
on just about every scouting list
you will find. He is also widely
considered the best point guard of
the 2008 class.
Jennings??T notoriety soared
to new levels after an impressive
12-point and nine-assist show-
ing in the 2008 McDonald??Ts All-
American Game. Jennings used the
game to prove that he was capable
of sharing the ball in addition to
being a go-to scorer.
The Californian commanded
attention with his outgoing per-
sonality and 1990's style fro. He
instantly became one of the most
recognizable members of the 2008
class.
Jennings??T exploits attracted
the likes of Arizona, Connecticut,
Kansas and USC to pursue a letter
of intent. Lute Olson and Arizona
secured the future starlet??Ts signa-
ture, overriding a previous com-
mitment to USC.
In years past, college probably
wouldn't have even been on Jennings??T
radar, but the NBA??Ts age limit rule
prohibited him from entering the
NBA draft.
Jennings??T recent announce-
??~ment that he would pursue play-
ing in Europe sent shockwaves
throughout the basketball world. .
Speculation insists that Jennings
could not meet the minimum SAT
scores necessary for him to suit up
as a Wildcat. 2
Rather than risk sinking into
anonymity in the junior college
ranks or the NBA Developmental
League, Jennings is expected to
be on the brink of signing with a
European team.
The idea is that Jennings would
spend a season in Europe, collect a
paycheck, and promptly enter the
2009 NBA Draft. He would become
the first American to bypass col-
lege basketball for Europe.
At just over 6-feet tall, many
scouts. have compared the play-
making lefty to Kenny Anderson
and Allen Iverson??"so, finding an??T
interested team is the least of his
worries.
Israel, Italy, and Spain would
seem the most logical destinations
for Jennings if he seeks the best
competition.
Lottomatica Roma has been
rumored to have offered Jennings
a two-year contract. Roma finished
second in the Italian Serie A stand-
-ings behind Montepaschi Siena,
good enough for a Euroleague
berth.
_ The Spanish ACB League is
widely considered the most com-
petitive outside of the NBA and
worldly cities such as Barcelona
and Madrid could very well attract
Jennings.
Maccabi Tel Aviv??Ts dominance
of the Israeli league, as well as their
deep pockets, keep this Euroleague
team in the picture as well.

on the team, Jason Varitek??Ts .218
BA should have kept him out and
David Ortiz, another whose play
was stilted due to injury, has not
put up All-Star numbers so far
this season.
Other than that, there isn??Tt
too much to gripe about. Had
Evan Longoria missed out on
the last spot by fan vote, it would
_ have been a glaring omission.
Perhaps Jason Giambi did
enough since his mustache-driven
resurgence to earn a Selection,
but the only player whose spot he
could take was the also deserving
Joe Crede. One could also have
made a case for Crede??Ts White
Sox teammate Jermane Dye, but
a crowded AL outfield was tough
to break into this year.
Mid-season awards:
AL MVP- Josh Hamilton, OF,
Rangers- His story makes him
the sentimental favorite, but his _
play on the field has made him
the front-runner. An early triple-
crown threat, he has been the
driving force behind the league??Ts
best offense.
He has belted 21 HR and
drove in an astonishing 97 RBI
in the first half of the season. His
play has kept the Rangers within
reach of the wild card race--not
MLB continued from page 10
to mention his stellar defense
patrolling the outfield.
AL Rookie of the Year- Evan
Longoria, 3B, Rays- This rookie
All-Star has been the star of the
surprise team of the first half of
the season. If his 16 HR and 53-
RBI weren??Tt impressive enough,
his defense has been. Longoria
has-made play after play from the
hot corner and-looks primed for
the AL Gold Glove as well.
AL Cy Young Award- Cliff
Lee, Indians- This was really a
no-brainer. His paper thin 2.31
ERA has helped him to 12 wins
on a last place team. Lee won his
first nine starts and has been up
against poorly run support from
the struggling Indians line-up all
season. He and Grady Sizemore
have been the lone bright spots
on the most disappointing team
of the first half.
NL MVP- Chipper Jones, 3B,
Braves- With all respect to Chase
Utley, Chipper is having an amaz-
ing year. He leads the MLB witha
.3876 BA and has spent the major-
ity of the season above .400.
A recent stint on the DL saw
his form dip after his return, but
he has started to heat up again

the division title and his produc-
tion was sorely missed when he
was injured. If he stays healthy
the Braves may have a second half
charge in them and he would be
the driving force behind it.
NL Rookie of the Year-
Kosuke Fukudome, OF, Cubs-
Some people have a problem
giving this award to a veteran of
another league, but the inaugural
award went to Jackie Robinson,
a seasoned veteran of the Negro
Leagues, so that mindset is
unfounded and egocentric of the
American media.
Fukudome has put up solid
numbers, even for a nine-year
vet of the Japanese league. He
has become a fan favorite at
Wrigley. because of his clutch
hitting and he leads NL rookies
in multi-hit games, hits, runs and
- on-base percentage.
NL Cy Young- Tim Lince-
cum, Giants- This is probably,
one of the hardest calls of the
first half. A host of deserving
National League pitchers have
made their case.

Hamilton totaled 35 homers

outfielder stopped after making
only four outs in the second round
because he was already assured a
spot in the finals. Contestants get
10 outs in each round.

??It does seem kind of unfair that
he didn??Tt get to win the whole thing,???
Morneau added. ??Anyone who was
here won't forget that performance.???
Nobody has ever hit a fair ball
out of Yankee Stadium, but some of
baseball??Ts top sluggers took aim at
Monument Park and the ballpark??Ts
vast upper deck Monday night.
One-of Hamilton??Ts 500-foot
drives hit a wall behind the right-
field bleachers, drawing a roar from

the delirious crowd.
Hamilton??Ts batting practice
pitcher also was quite a story. The
slugger chose a 71-year-old volun-
teer coach who often threw BP to
Hamilton when he was a teenager
in North Carolina.
Milwaukee??Ts Ryan Braun and
Houston??Ts Lance Berkman were
knocked out in the semifinals. Elimi- _
nated in the first round were Phila-
delphia??Ts Chase Utley, Cleveland??Ts
Grady Sizemore, Florida??Ts Dan
Uggla and Tampa Bay??Ts Evan Longo-
ria, the first rookie to participate
since Nomar Garciaparra in 1997.
JENNINGS continued from page 11
other players in similar situations
to do act the same?
My guess is--yes, especially if
NBA Commissioner David Stern
elects to implement a new rule
mandating two years of ies
rather than one.
If this works out for Jennings,
players will be dumping Duke for
Partizan Igokea faster than you
can say, ??Darko.???
Maybe this is an extreme sce-
nario, but don??Tt think future classes
won't be keeping a close eye on
Jennings??T success.
Most players like Jennings are
merely using college as a stepping-
stone to the NBA and have no inten-
tion of staying more than one year.
Why not pocket a few hundred
thousand bucks and get started on
that shoe deal right away?
Language barriers and lifestyle
adjustments will keep most players
on this side of the Atlantic for the
near future, but Stern had better
hold the trigger on a new age-limit
rule, or he could have an epidemic
on his hands.
