Brain Boost Smoothie //RACHEL CHEON
Angeline Song, junior from Los Angeles, says she put on about 10 pounds in one semester as a result of snacking on fast food and going out to eat more than cooking at home. She decided she needed to lose weight and get her healthy body back before going back home to California for the break.
She chose to do a "juice fast", in which she replaced meals with beverages such as smoothies or fruit juices. She drank lots of fruit drinks such as Odwalla Superfood drinks, and also made her own smoothies. This gave her the opportunity to experiment with many types of smoothies, but her favorite recipe is one she calls, "brain boost smoothie".
"I saw the recipe from magazine and tweaked it a bit. I call it 'brain boost smoothie' because of the fruits that go in the smoothie are known as brain foods." Song says.
Two main ingredients are blueberries and bananas. Staci Hendrickson, dietician at Healthy Balance, Inc., 535 Gateway Drive, says blueberries are known as superfruits because they are packed with antioxidants, which are especially good for the brain. She says blueberries and bananas are a very good source of glucose, which is a good, steady source of energy for the brain. "Our brain needs lots of sugar. It's the brain's favorite fuel," Hendrickson says.
This doesn't mean you should snack on candy all day to fuel your brain. "Fruits tend to be more sustained source of sugar, while a pack of skittles would give you lots sugar quickly, but also a crash later." Hendrickson says.
To make the smoothie, blend together 1 cup apple juice, one fresh ripe banana, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup frozen blueberries, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup frozen raspberries, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup of vanilla yogurt and four ice cubes. This makes two servings.

national player of the year honors after losing three of his closest family members is something to admire.
If you think you're going through hard times because you're struggling with class, you broke up with your partner, you're struggling with your relationships with your family and friends or undergoing financial hardship, just take a good, hard look at what Robinson has endured.
He has responded to his misfortune by committing himself, whether it's by taking care of his younger sister Jayla, or being the best basketball player he can possibly be. He doesn't want people to feel sorry for him. He is a symbol of hope, determination, strength and perseverance.
Losing your mother and grandparents at 19 is something nobody should have to go through.
I know senior day is a day to honor the seniors, but Robinson should be honored as well. If you aren't planning to attend Saturday's game against Texas, I strongly urge you to go because it's probably the last time you'll see Robinson play at Allen Fieldhouse.

The Jayhawks will play in their third preseason tournament, The University of Texas — San Antonio tournament, this weekend in San Antonio, Texas. In each of the three tournaments, Kansas has been one of the marquee teams.
"I told our team in a short team meeting that the advantage of playing at the University of Kansas is going to a tournament and getting everybody's best guys," Price said. "Those are the guys we're going to see in
Coming into the season, the Kansas baseball team knew it would be facing the best pitchers of each team it plays. That's the price that comes with being a member of the Big 12 conference.
Coach Ritch Price said that a tournament format allows for teams to choose who they want to throw their best arms against. In a normal three-game series format, the teams match up their number one, two and three pitchers.
against opposing pitchers. In seven games so far, no starting pitcher for the opposing team has made it past the fifth inning against the Jayhawks. Senior infielder Zac Elgie knows that getting starting pitchers out of the game early will lead to success.
"That's one of the big things when we start playing conference series," Eigie said. "If we can use the bullpen the first couple days, that leaves them kind of shorthanded for the weekend. The more you can do that the more you can wear them out and they can't use their best pitchers later on."
While the Jayhawks have been able to get players on base often, the clutch hit has proved elusive. Kansas has left 63 runners on base already this season, which averages to nine runners left on base a game. Senior catcher James Stanfield said the team needs to lay off sliders down in the strike zone, and look for fastballs.
Stanfield said the team has to make sure they stay patient later in the game because that's when the at-bats are the most important.
Price said the team would need to be confident and relaxed at the plate to be successful.
the times in the those situations you just need a ground ball to the right side or a fly ball to the outfield."
"The hardest part about baseball is that it beats you up mentally, at any level." Price said.
The Jayhawks will look to build off of their 14-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State last Sunday in San Antonio.
"Anytime you're successful offensively, you're successful one-through-nine in the lineup." Price said. "The first couple of weekends we've had two or three of our key guys who are off to a slow start, but all it takes is one good weekend to turn it all around."
