(AP) _ Patients of a Kansas physician who is charged with running a ``pill mill'' linked to 56 over- dose deaths plan to file a lawsuit claiming the government has put patients in immediate mortal danger and created a public health disaster. The lawsuit, which names Attorney General Michael Mukasey, U.S. Attorney Eric Melgren, the state of Kansas and the Kansas Board of Healing Arts as defendants, was to be filed Tuesday by the New Mexico- based Pain Relief Network on behalf of the patients of Dr. Stephen Schneider. Schneider and his wife, nurse Linda Schneider, were indicted in December on federal charges including conspira- cy, unlawful distribution of a con- QuittingQuitting BusinessBusiness SaleSale trolled substance resulting in death, health care fraud, illegal money trans- actions and money laundering.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Alan Voskuil scored a career-high 30 points and Texas Tech beat No. 18 Kansas State 84-75 on Wednesday night to give Pat Knight his first win since tak- ing over for his father. Bob Knight, the winningest coach in Division I history, applauded from his $21.95 seat in a box as his son-successor got hugs from his assistants and players. Pat Knight shared high-fives with fans as he strolled out of the arena to loud cheers. Bill Walker had 27 points and EXP:03-31-07Expires Mar. 15, 2008 Michael Beasley added 22 for Kansas State (17-6, 7-2), which came into the game in first place in the Big 12. The Red Raiders (13-10, 4-5) scored on seven of their first eight possessions in the second half. A 15-6 run gave Texas Tech a 60-38 lead with about 14 minutes remaining. But the Wildcats went to a full-court press and it gave Tech fits. Kansas State used a 20-4 run, including 12 points by Walker, and got within 64-58 with just under 9 minutes remaining.
And they stopped Voskuil's outside shooting. He was held scoreless for 7 minutes and Tech had just three field goals during his drought but they did go 8-for-13 from the free throw line during the span. A 3-pointer by Jacob Pullen pulled the Wildcats within 70-66 with 5:34 left, but that was as close as they came the rest of the way.
