How hard is it to win an NCAA men's basketball championship? Few head coaches have ever done it twice. Only five have done it more than twice: Bobby Knight and Jim Calhoun with three, Mike Krzyzewski and Adolph Rupp with four and John Wooden with 10.

to print has created a more secure and private printing environment. Dav said.
"No longer is your print job just sitting there waiting for anyone there to pick up," Day said. "You go to the printer, you swipe your card, it prints for you and you're right there to pick it up."
Matt Owens, a freshman from Grantham, N.H., said he has had difficulty printing and finds the process frustrating.
"I think that the process from the computer to logging in at the printer is extremely complicated, and they don't give enough detailed steps on how to actually log in and get to where you need to go to receive your papers." Owens said.
Day said after some complaints about the extra steps for students, IT added the card readers to the machines in the labs and libraries.
From March 1, 2014 to March 1, 2015, with the University's multifunction printers, there were approximately 24.79 million impressions, or pages printed. Day of said that, approximately 14.53 million were
printed double-sided. He said that adds up to 17,52 million pieces of paper that were used this past year, which works out to 48,000 pages per day.
Day said with 30,000 students, faculty and staff on campus, that's 1.6 pieces of paper per person per day. This equals 5,714 cases of paper a year, with 10 reams of paper to a case.
For next year, Day said procurement estimates costs of paper and ink will have a slight increase, because costs increase from year to year.

The study showed the introduction of one MFD eliminated nine laser printers. In the end, the college saved $15,000 and scanned nearly 16,000 pages they couldn't scan before, Day said.
standpoint, to print less would drive those costs down," Day said.
Day said working to reduce the paper printing on campus will align with the University's goals for sustainability.
"The University is increasingly focused on sustainability," Day said. "It's important to us as information technology, so the more that we can do electronically, the better for both the budget of the University and the environment."
Last year, IT did a 30-day case study with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and had a contest to see which departments could save the most money by using an MFD versus their laser printers.

"We use that as a case study when we're going over to other departments talking to them about the benefits about the multifunction printers," Day said.

cast-quality videos to anywhere in the world," Butcher said. "A professor from the psychology department came in here, and through this system they were live on Al Jazeera America."
Media Crossroads also had a professor from the School of Social Welfare on the show who was live on PBS News-Hour, Butcher said.
The LTN located with Media Crossroads is the only one in Lawrence, and it makes for a much easier communication experience with all newscasts

involved.
Butcher said the University likes this system because of the national attention the University is receiving by having notable faculty and staff on the show.
Though Media Crossroads has another semester in the Union, it will need to find a new place to call home by
the end of the year. Various institutions on campus have stated they would want Media Crossroads to have its studio in its buildings, including both Anschutz and Watson libraries, the Lied Center and Stauffer-Flint Hall. Butcher said they have also talked about potentially locating Media Crossroads somewhere off campus.
"We've kind of spread the word that we're looking for a place to go, and a bunch of people have said they'd love to have us," Butcher said.

Pipeline foes appeal to Nebraska lawmakers

LINCOLN, Neb. — Opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline appealed to Nebraska lawmakers on Wednesday in their latest effort to overturn the state law that allowed former Gov. Dave Heineman to approve a route through the state.
About 60 landowners and activists rallied at the state Capitol in Lincoln as pipeline developer TransCanada Corp. defended its use of eminent domain to gain access to property owned by holdouts.
Their arguments in a nearly five-hour hearing included several testy exchanges with senators who support the pipeline. Opponents asked lawmakers to pass a bill that would reverse the 2012 pipeline-sitting law.
The law allowed TransCanada to bypass Nebraska's Public Service Commission, which reviews most pipeline proposals, and seek approval instead through a state agency overseen by the governor. Heineman, a Republican, supported the project.
Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha said he introduced the bill as a "shot across the bow" to TransCanada, and to give voice to landowners who oppose the pipeline.
"Until now, the public — the people who have been affected directly by this pipeline activity
have never had a seat at the table," Chambers said. "The ones at the table were politicians who ... were in TransCanada's pock-
... were in TransCanada's pocket."
The pipeline would go from Canada through Montana and
In January, the Nebraska Supreme Court allowed the pipeline-sitting law to stand by default. Four judges on the seven-member court ruled in favor of landowners who challenged the law, but a super-majority of five was needed.
South Dakota to Nebraska, where it would connect with existing pipelines to carry more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast.
The remaining three judges refused to rule on the law, arguing they couldn't because the plaintiffs in the lawsuit didn't have legal standing. Opponents responded by filing a nearly identical lawsuit with landowners who were directly affected.
TransCanada has said 90 percent of Nebraska landowners along the Keystone XL route — and 100 percent of those in Montana and South Dakota — have agreed to easements so the company can build the pipeline.
TransCanada land manager Andrew Craig said eminent domain is a tool of last resort that's needed to develop pipelines, railroads and other infrastructure. Without that power, "a single landowner or small group of landowners could block projects that deliver those public benefits to Nebraskans," Craig said.
Some opponents accused lawmakers of ignoring their pleas for help.
"We feel like we're just being left out to dry," said Randy Thompson, a rancher and longtime opponent who owned land along the first proposed route before it was moved in 2013. "You don't listen to what our concerns are."
But Sen. Bob Krist of Omaha raided against the opponents, saying he's spent hours past listening to anti-pipeline groups to try to address their concerns.
The pipeline, first proposed in 2008, still requires presidential approval because it crosses an international border.
