Snowfall began on campus Wednesday morning and accumulated throughout the day, giving students an opportunity for outdoor entertainment and creating potential parking and transportation problems.

Danny Kaiser, assistant director of parking and transit, said winter weather causes problems when the snow covers the lines around parking spaces.
"What should be a straight line of cars gets curved and rather than two cars facing each other, someone ends up getting parked in," he said.
Kaiser said a similar situation occurred earlier this year, resulting in an improperly parked car being towed so another could get out. He said lots would be plowed Wednesday night once they were
empty to avoid such problems.
While others worked, some students delighted in the snowfall.

>> DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
Governor: Use turnpike to fund campus upkeep
BY JOE HUNT
Human waste. That's what was dripping from the ceiling during professor Rich Givens's chemistry class Tuesday after a sewage pipe ruptured in Malott Hall. The 50-year-old pipe is one item on a long list of things needing repair at the University of Kansas.
Governor Kathleen Sebelius addressed the desperate maintenance issues of state universities Wednesday when she proposed a plan that would provide them with more than $575 million for repairs and upkeep.
The plan calls for $300 million to come from a surcharge on Kansas Turnpike tolls, which would be paid to the universities over six years. Turnpike tolls will increase over the next seven years, but not by more than five percent a year. This would allow the state to raise funds without raising taxes.
Of the remaining $275 million,
$200 million would come from
loans and $75 million would come
from paying off existing bonds.
Sen. Jean Kurtis Schodorf (R Wichita), chairwoman of the Senate Higher Education Task Force, said using the turnpike was an innovative first step towards finding a solution for money troubles plagu ing schools such as the University
"The need is definitely there," Schodorf said. "It's critical we pass some sort of plan this year."
Schodorf said her committee would evaluate the governor's plan and offer suggestions to work towards a final bill. But not everyone thinks the governor is headed in the right direction.
Rep. lason Watkins (R-Wichita) said that raising toils would reduce commercial use of the turnpike and

paused the movie. "Hearts, Holes
and Hand Grenades," his first major
movie, which was made for less
than $40,000, was filmed nearly
seven years ago. Riggs will begin
a new project in May. He is filming
an adaptation of the satirical
play "The Devil is an Ass," written
by Shakespeare contemporary Ben
Jonson.
Riggs's new project will give many students the chance to be involved with a high-definition
three-hour film. The film will be produced through Limestone Pictures, Riggs, who is the 29-yearold president of the company, uses his own equipment to produce films in his living room. He started the company with his friend Chris Todd in 1999.
Matt Jacobson, associate professor of theater and film, said students gain invaluable experience by helping with major film productions.
"We try to give our students a strong base in the essentials of film," Jacobson said.

ACCIDENT
Police suspect driver intoxicated
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
The wreck that claimed the life of KU student Kyle Almeida, Warrensburg, Mo., senior, Tuesday morning may have involved alcohol.
A report released by the Douglas County Sheriff's Department Wednesday indicated that Almeida may have been under the influence
of alcohol and speeding at the time of the accident.
The 1997 Ford Taurus, driven by Almeida, spun before rolling multiple times and coming to rest in a ditch, according to the report.
The car came to rest less than a fifth of a mile from the transition.
The accident occurred south of Lawrence on East 1600 Rd., which changes from a paved surface to a gravel road at the Lawrence city limit.
A passenger in the vehicle, Timothy S. Beggs, was treated for minor injuries and released.

"Tree of life" violates city blight laws
MONROE, Mich. — It was a symbol of philanthropy to some, used to hang donations of clothing and toys for the needy, but the city has put an end to the "tree of life."
Anthony and Connie Johnson started displaying items on the tree near their home last summer. People were invited to stop and choose the items they needed.
But inspectors said the tree violates city blight laws. They said residents can only hang clothes on clothes lines. Neighbors also complained about the increase of traffic in the area.

STUDENT SENATE ELECTIONS
Ignite candidates drop out of race
Withdraw marks the end of coalition
BY ASHLEE KIELER
The presidential and vice presidential candidates sponsored by the Ignite coalition have dropped out of the Student Senate race.
Adam Hurly, Sioux Falls, S.D., sophomore, and Austin Kelly, Lawrence junior, announced their candidacy at the end of fall semester.
Hurly and Kelly have not released the reasons behind their decision to drop from the upcoming election.
"Due to circumstances outside our control we were forced to weigh our options and have decided to pursue other opportunities." Hurly said.
Along with the demise of their campaign comes the end of the Ignite coalition. The coalition will not sponsor any candidates for the upcoming Senate election.
Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and student body president, helped form Ignite.
"We respect the choices that were made." Boots said of Hurly and
Kelly's decision.
Senators from Ignite are now faced with the challenge of deciding which coalition to join, United Students or Delta Force. Many senators broke ties with Ignite to form United Students earlier in the semester because there was a need for a new coalition.
Delta Force and United Students continue to meet weekly.
Hurly said that he will not be running for a senate seat this election season. Kelly's plans are unknown.
Delta Force candidates for President and Vice President are Ryan Rowan, Kansas City, Mo., junior and John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior.
United Students coalition recently announced their candidates as Hannah Love, Dodge City junior, and Ray Wittlinger, Olathe junior.

>> BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Black History Month kicks off tonight with a laid-back discussion in which participants are encouraged to ask race-related questions to a diverse panel of members from the African-American community.
The discussion, "You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers," will be held at 7 p.m. at the McCook Room in the Burge Union.
"Ive always been in situations where I've been a minority, and these are questions people normally ask me," he said.
Jordan Brown, Bloomington. Ind., freshman and member of the Black Student Union, said he came up with the idea for the discussion to help bridge the gap in cultural understanding.
Brown volunteered for the panel along with a variety of other African-American students. The
panel included an athlete, a foreign exchange student, members from upper and lower-class upbringings, and both men and women.
He said he didn't want just one or two people to represent the entire African-American population.
"I don't know of too many Caucasians who have had to speak on behalf of their entire race," Brown said.
He said no subject, including common stereotypes about African Americans, would be off-limits during the discussion.
"Anything on people's hearts or minds they can come out and ask," Brown said.
Ebony Howard, Ft. Worth, Texas, senior and vice president for the Black Student Union, said her group would play host to several different events each week during the month.
The group planned the Apollo

Night on Saturday, Feb. 10, and the Black jeopardy event for Monday, Feb. 12. They also organized various lectures, discussions and fellowship events, she said.
Howard said the month-long celebration will end March 1 during an AIDS Quilt Reception at the SUA Gallery in the Kansas Union. The quilts would focus on the disproportionate number of minorities in Kansas who contract AIDS.
"Anybody is welcome to present, and it's appreciated they want to help with the month," she said.
Howard emphasized that Black History Month at the University was the result of efforts from numerous organizations, including the Student Union Association, the Multicultural Resource Center and a number of African-American and Hispanic-American fraternities and sororities.

A publicity stunt for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" scares many in Boston and leads to one arrest. A devise consisting of lights on a circuit board was placed at various locations throughout the city.
Cartoon's promotion results in arrest
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — More than 10 blinking electronic devices planted at bridges and other spots in Boston threw a scare into the city Wednesday in what turned out to be a publicity campaign for a late-night cable cartoon. Police later said they made an arrest.
Highways, bridges' and a section of the Charles River were shut down and bomb squads were sent in before authorities declared the devices were harmless.
"It's a hoax — and it's not funny," said Gov. Dev Patrick, who said he'll speak to the state's attorney general "about what recourse we may have."
Boston police said Wednesday night that one person had been arrested.
Turner Broadcasting, a division of Time Warner Inc. and parent of
Cartoon Network, said the devices were part of a promotion for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force", a surreal series about a talking milk shake, a box of fries and a meatball.
"The packages in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger," Turner said in a statement.
It said the devices have been in place for two to three weeks in 10 cities: Boston; New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Atlanta; Seattle; Portland; Ore.; Austin, Texas; San Francisco; and Philadelphia.
"We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger," the company said. As soon as the company realized the problem, it said, law enforcement officials were told of their locations in all 10 cities.
The marketing firm that put them up has been ordered to remove them immediately, said Phil Kent, Turner chairman.
Boston that part of a marketing campaign was mistaken for a public danger, "Keint said.
There were no reports from police Wednesday of residents in the other nine cities spotting similar devices.
Austin police spokeswoman Toni Chovanetz said the marketing company told the department about the devices Wednesday afternoon and was working with the city to remove them.
"We apologize to the citizens of
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said he'll seek to punish those responsible, and indicated that the penalty could be two to five years in prison per count. He said he was "prepared to take any and all legal action" against the company and its affiliates "for any and all expenses incurred during the response to today's incidents."

Visions for the future City hires consulting firm to review current zoning codes
》 LAWRENCE DEVELOPMENT
BY MATT ERICKSON
The city has brought in a team from the national consulting firm PlaceMakers to explore ways to make Lawrence's developing areas emulate the style of its downtown area.
Lawrence may soon be taking a new approach with development and growth - or perhaps it could be called an old approach.
"Right now, you could not create a downtown." Hack said "Our existing zoning codes do not allow the kind of mixed-use codes that we would like to see."
PlaceMakers will meet with several city organizations and will welcome public input. A workshop schedule is available at lawrenceks.org. PlaceMakers calls the workshop a "charrette," which Brown said means a quick-moving, intense process involving lots of public input.
Dan Warner, long-range planner for the city, said the workshop would create an alternate zoning code that developers could choose to use over the existing code.
Hack said the city wants members of the public to participate—including University of Kansas students.
No one would be forced to use the new codes and the city would still need to approve the new codes after PlaceMakers helped draft them.
PlaceMakers specializes in the concept of "new urbanism," or "traditional neighborhood design." Hack said. The concept involves grid-like streets and mixed-use areas, where residences and businesses could coexist, rather than winding cul-desacs and strictly defined residential and commercial areas.
In other words, new developments could resemble Lawrence's downtown area in many respects.
"An awful lot of people graduate and come back to Lawrence to live," Hack said.
Brown said the group would try to produce a coherent plan that would allow developers to create "compact, connected, diverse, walkable" neighborhoods.
Ben Brown, PlaceMakers public relations representative, said the group envisioned neighborhoods where people could walk from their homes to the corner grocer, a coffeehouse or a newspaper stand.
"We think too many communities are planned around cars now, instead of around people," he said.
"There's much more of an atmosphere of predictability," he said.
"What we get at the end of this process is still just a product from PlaceMakers," Warner said.

unfairly punish commuters
"When someone pays their turn-pike toll, they don't mind paying because they know that money is going to maintain the roadway," Watkins said. "This is a slippery slope we're talking about going down."
Nicole Corcoran, Sebelius' spokeswoman, disagreed.
"Even with this small increase over several years it's just a few pennies per mile, the Kansas Turnpike will still be below the national average," Corcoran said. "Those few
extra cents are more practical than the sort of substantial tax increase that would be required to meet the needs of Kansas students."
The needs of the University are rather large. A November 2006 report released by the Kansas Board of Regents determined that the University and the University of Kansas Medical Center require $284.7 million in repairs.
"I admire the governor for thinking outside the box and coming up with some new ways to address deferred maintenance," Hemenway said. "This is a serious and sincere effort to solve the problem."

Jacobson said education can teach the basics of filmmaking, but once students leave film school, they "pay their dues" and start over again.
"A film says something, it can teach us something, it has something to show us," Riggs said.
Riggs said his passion for making movies started when his parents purchased a video camera.

》 SENATE PROPOSAL
Bi-partisan resolution gets support
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Two senators
HARTINGTON — Two senators — a Republican and a Democrat — leading separate efforts to put Congress on record against President Bush's troop buildup in Iraq joined forces Wednesday, agreeing on a nonbinding resolution that would oppose the plan and potentially embarrass the White House.
Carl Levin (D-Mich.) had been sponsoring competing measures opposing Bush's strategy of sending 21,500 more U.S. troops to the war zone, with Warner's less harshly worded version attracting more
Sens. John Warner (R-Va.) and R- Va.
"I think it's a mistake to put timetables on difficult missions because an enemy can adjust."
guage saying the troop increase is against the national interest, and it drops an earlier provision by Warner suggesting Senate support for some additional troops.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he wants to begin debate Monday on the new measure, bypassing committee review. Levin's original resolution would no longer be considered.
"I want to work with the Republican leader in setting up a

Republican interest. The new resolution would vow to protect funding for troops while keeping Warner's original language expressing the Senate's opposition to the buildup.
Levin replaced Warner as chairman of the Armed Services Committee when the Democrats took control of the Senate in January. Their resolution could gain more support from members of both parties than their separate versions had been attracting. It lacks Levin's lan-
process for making sure people have the ability to offer their amendments," said Reid (D-Nev).
The resolution is likely to pose a threat to the White House because of its potential appeal to Republicans
"It's been a hard work in progress," Warner said of his resolution, which has been struggling to win support of 60 senators so as to prevent a filbuster.
who have grown tired of the nearly four-year war and want a chance to express their concerns.
Warner had attracted at least seven other Republicans who were inclined to vote for his resolution.
In an interview with Fox News,
Bush took issue with McConnell's statement that his plan needs to be successful over the next six to nine months.
"I think it's a mistake to put time-tables on difficult missions because an enemy can adjust," Bush said. "On the other hand, I certainly understand the urgency in Mitch's voice. I also understand the skepticism on Capitol Hill. I mean, no doubt, there's a lot of pessimism there today."
In a statement after the president's interview, McConnell avoided mention of a specific time frame, but he stressed that the U.S. commitment in Iraq "is not open-ended."
"We will know in a relativety short period of time whether or not the Iraqis are committed, and initial results are positive," McConnell said "Of course we would need to reconsider our strategy if this effort fails."
Bush also criticized a proposal by Sen. Barack Obama, a Democratic presidential candidate from Illinois, to have all U.S. combat forces out of Iraq by spring 2008. "I say that it's important to succeed and that failure in Iraq will cause chaos," Bush said. "My admonition to those who are speaking out is let us back the troops and let us hope for the success" of their mission.

Black History needs more than a month
As another Black History Month kicks off, we have to ask, does it legitimately honor black Americans? Or
was the event, in the shortest month of the year, created in an attempt to bury past injustices, to suggest that racism is dead and that poor blacks can (legitimately, this time) pull themselves up by their bootstraps?
Black History Month is a shoddy excuse for recognition of the expansive history and accomplishments of African Americans.
As an opportunity to recognize black men and women who made significant contributions to American history, Black History Month is a positive concept. But it's also a trivial event that is insufficiently recognized February often passes with little discussion of black history.
Sparse celebration of Black History Month is unsurprising, because America is still a segregated nation. Many neighborhoods are racially homogeneous, and race-based prejudices are common.
In a country where people are all-too-aware of skin color, Black History Month is more an act of tokenism than a respectable celebration. Setting aside a month for a minority group does nothing to desegregate a country.
Some black Americans find the event disrespectful because it skims over the hardships of African Americans while creating disconnect between "black America" and "America." The original founder of Negro History Week, Carter Woodson, sought to educate young blacks
about
about their history because he believed it was a significant part of American history. He said,
"What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice." Today, Black History Month hardly represents an effort to rid the world of racial divisions.
Black History Month is a shoddy excuse for recompition of the expansive history and accomplishments of African Americans. For its ability to remind us of characters like George Washington Carver, famous for numerous inventions including peanut butter, the holiday shouldn't be ignored. However, it is neither reasonable nor fair to cram black history into a single short and cold month. Dedicating a specified amount of time to one race encourages us to focus on human differences in lieu of the commonality that we all have as American citizens.
African Americans are a significant part of American history, and they should be adequately represented - not just during one month, but throughout the year. More important than Black History Month, therefore, is adequate consideration of black Americans in American history.

Winter weather prompts winter wear
We're back from the break, and I'm happy to report that evidently Jackie Onassis's estate sold off all her sunglasses to you, the University of Kansas student body. Just about all of us got that North Face jacket we wanted for Christmas. As for those of you whose parents didn't get the memo and now you're stuck with a Columbia coat, I think it was nice of you to not hurt their feelings by exchanging it.
The coat I roll with looks like two rags staplied together with a zipper sewn on with fishing line. I could have stolen it from a bum who passed out in a bus station bathroom. My wife came home with a Members Only jacket she found in the gutter and tried to talk me into trying it on.
"I didn't think Members Only was cool any more," I said.
"it's not," she said. "But we're taking baby steps."

it should freeze what's inside my nose, too. Why does not seem to have a freezing point slightly below absolute zero? Someone should do something about that. We've got hallways full of PhDs who don't look too busy. They should stop talking about why the men's basketball team lost (hint: they scored fewer points) and they should start bioengineering a more easily frozen snot.
My only gripe with cold weather is this: if it gets cold enough to freeze my nose.
Think of the rest my nose will get. No more blowing, no more snorting. And picking my nose would become a breeze. (If I were ever inclined to pick my nose, which I'm not, because only kids pick their noses, right?)
That no one else has thought of this yet is shocking. Science has failed us. What's the point of NASA if they aren't going to find out random crap in space and turn it into useful stuff in the grocery store? Why is there no over-the-counter nasal spray to render runny noses obsolete? These eggheads had better do something soon, because I don't want my nose to drip on my jacket. It's Members Only.

Girl-guy friends, avoid complicated hook-up
Male-female friends of the world, stay that way!
I understand hooking up can be tempting. After all, you know each other well and don't have any of those awkward silent moments. But after a hook-up, friendships are never the same.
I don't understand the pressure there is for friendships to turn into relationships. Maybe it's subconscious, but it seems that most close friendships between members of the opposite sex end up screwed up by the need to take it "a step further"
After years and years of experience, I figured out that if menwomen friendships never go into the 'relationship spectrum', we could actually understand each other better.
In many cases the love connec
tion is inevitable and good friendship effortlessly becomes an actual relationship. Closeness and honesty are already established and both of you know what a

KANSAN.COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
There is a certain I don't have to impress her at all times feel to friendships that have no further pressures. This makes guys more willing to say what they really think...unless it involves weird sexual stuff.
I have a fair number of close guy friends and a lot of the common barriers in a men-women relationship have disappeared because we know each other well. They do not feel the need to lie to keep me happy. If I ask them a serious question, I know I will get a completely honest
answer.
This interaction puzzles other people. I can't count how many people ask us if 'we are banging yet.' There is only one other person I know who is as close as I am to my guy friends but doesn't care to turn it into something more.
Think about it: having a close friendship with someone of the opposite sex without taking it any further has benefits for both sexes.
For girls, there is nothing better than having guy advise given to you by someone who fully understands how dumb guys are.
For guys, lets be honest, someone needs to tell you why your girlfriend is acting so bitchy and what you can do about it.
Please don't put pressure in a friendship just because your friend happens to be from the opposite sex. Thanks to my guy friends I've gotten pretty good at understanding the guy's side in an argument.
I believe that men and women can understand each other well. We just need to stop jumping into relationships that should've just stayed friendships.

ENTERTAINMENT Former Beach Boys remain in court over band names
LOS ANGELES — The Beach Boys used to sing about endless summers. These days, at least two of them seem to be caught up in endless litigation.
The latest round came Tuesday when a judge rejected Beach Boys' singer Mike Love's motion to rule in his favor in Love's lawsuit against former bandmate Al Jardine. Instead, Superior Court Judge James R. Dunn ruled there was sufficient evidence for the matter to go to trial.
Dunn didn't immediately set a trial date, but Jardine's lawyer, Lawrence Noble, said he told attorneys for both sides to get in touch with him by the end of February to let him know the status of the dispute.
The Love-Jardine legal battle dates to 2001, when Jardine fied a $4 million action against Love and the Beach Boys Brother Records Inc., alleging Love excluded him from concerts that year.
Dunn threw out part of Loves suit last September but allowed him to continue to seek $2 million in court costs and $1 million in earnings he says Jardine wrongly was paid for using the Beach Boys' name.
Love maintains only he has the legal right to perform under the name, and federal courts ruled in 2003 that Jardine must stop using Beach Boys in the title of his other bands.

CALIFORNIA (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS KANSAS
Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
Several players from the baseball team grew up in California relatively near to each other and played ball together over the summer in high school. There are 10 California natives on the baseball team.
Kansas high schools and only two attended high schools outside of Lawrence.
This influx of California influence on the Kansas baseball team has become a trend under coach Ritch Price. What's more, the team has started to see results.
The layhawks have won 30 or more games each of Price's four years here at Kansas. Their winning percentage has also increased each of the last two seasons, climaxing with a Big 12 Championship last season.
"When I was hired, one of the things they told me in the recruiting process was they felt they needed to bring in a coach from outside the Midwest who had a hub he could tap into to help turn the program around," said Price, who was named Kansas' baseball coach in 2003.
Since his hiring, Price has followed through. Excluding his two sons, four current Jayhawks come from the San Luis Obispo area where Price coached Cal Poly for eight seasons before coming to Kansas. Four more Jayhawks are from Southern California and the ninth is from the Los Angeles area.
While Price has had the pleasure of seeing this California invasion help put Kansas baseball on the map, the players have had to overcome the culture shock of moving to Kansas
"To be honest, I never thought I would even see Kansas in my life," South said.
Junior shortstop Erik Morrison shared Smyth's sentiments. He had never been to Kansas until his recruiting visit.
"When I got here, I looked around and I could see for miles and miles," said Morrison, an Arrowo Grande native. "I remember thinking, What the heck is going on here? I'm used
to having a sheer mountain cliff in my back yard. There's no mountains or water out here to put me in my surroundings."
The climate also took some getting used to.
"It's cool because you get seasons out here. In California you get one season the whole year." Morrison said. "It's crazy, and the lightening storms, those are sweet."
Dealing with so many changes at once wasn't easy for Morrison and he occasionally got home-sick. Fortunately, although being more than 1,500 miles from home, Morrison had friends on the team who knew what he was going through.
"That's what I'm really happy about. I'm not out here alone," Morrison said. "I've got my best friends out here and guys who can relate to me when I'm down."
Considering the difference between California and Kansas, it's hard to believe Price has been so successful in luring players to the heartland. Price credited the reputation of the Big 12 Conference and Kansas Athletics Department for helping attract players from the West Coast.
In the past, baseball players in California could only be enticed to head east by the ACC and SEC Conferences. Now they head to schools in the Big 12, as well – predominantly Kansas. There are 27 players in the conference who graduated from California high schools, a third of whom go to Kansas. Oklahoma is second in the Big 12 with six California natives.
Morrison said he's been impressed with how aggressively Price has recruited in California.
"It's more about pro teams out
in California, so for coach Price to have that much recognition out there shows he's a go-getter and he's turning heads," Morrison said.
Not only is Kansas finding impact players in California, it's also building a core of players who have played together since they were teenagers.
Morrison said he, along with Smyth, Ryne, Robby, Steve Cochran and Casey Larson, grew up within a 20-minute radius of each other and got to play together during the summer when they were in high school.
Smyth said had been friends with Larson since he was nine years old and met the other four as he got older. Over the course of their summer careers, he said they probably played more than 300 games together. This long history between the California players has proven beneficial to the team on the field and behind the scenes.
Smyth said, because the players are so familiar with each other's abilities and personalities, they know what to expect from one another and they know the best way to motivate each other.
"One of the biggest obstacles to overcome as a team is the ability to mesh together and become one," Smyth said. "The more comfortable you are with your players as friends and as teammates, the better you can perform on the field."
If the last few seasons have been any indication, there will be plenty more California natives finding their home away from home in Kansas.

》 SUPER BOWL XLI
Manning relishes media's attention during 'carnival'
BY STEVEN WINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — For 60 minutes the questions came at Peyton Manning, sometimes several at once, on topics ranging from his childhood to Sunday's game against the Bears.
Facing a semicircle of reporters and cameramen six deep, Manning joked a little, reminisced a lot and seemed to enjoy his first Super Bowl media day.
Still to come are the 60 minutes that matter most, when Manning's Indianapolis Colts play the Chicago Bears for the NFL title.
But while Bears center Olin Kreutz said he might prefer a trip to the dentist over Tuesday's media day, Manning embraced media day as part of what makes the Super Bowl America's favorite carnival.
"I know how hard it is to get here; he said, "because it has been."
Bears quarterback Rex Grossman, said he also appreciated the media attention. He attracted a smaller crowd than Manning, but the questions came in a flurry — including one about whether Grossman found such a flurry of questions overwhelming.
"I've seen it in years past," Manning said from a seat along the sideline at Dolphin Stadium. "You always wish you were up here."
"It's not that big a deal," Grossman said with a smile. "I'm just talking to you guys.
Flanked by two speakers that allowed even the back row to hear, Manning discussed his family, the challenges of his job and the frustration of failing to reach the Super Bowl in the past.
"It's a big game. Everyone wants to know all the subplots to it and every little detail."
athletics calendar
Grossman is a subplot — an erratic quarterback who can only hope his biorhythms peak around kickoff. Manning is the biggest story of the week, which is why his interview session drew the largest crowd.
"For Peyton it has been tough, because all his stats and everything else mean nothing until you reach this game," teammate Dallas Clark said. "He's finally here, which is great, and hopefully he can enjoy this moment."
Players trade winter woes for island sun
"You feel a small window of opportunity," he said. "While we're here, we sure want to go ahead and win it."
TONIGHT:

The game's most prolific passer is playing in the Super Bowl for the first time at age 30. His father, Archie, was a star NFL quarterback who never had a shot at a title. His brother Eli has not come close in three seasons with the New York Giants.

"The weather's been a little discouraging from that standpoint," Price said. "I feel like we're game ready to play and the only way we're going to make progress now is actually to get outside."
SUNDAY:

Even when used in tandem with the Anschutz Sports Pavilion, where the team has been working on fielding, the practice space does not compare to the advantage of being on the field.
"They play the hardest schedule in America, they're not a cake walk," junior outfielder Brock Simpson said. "You think Hawaii-Hilo and it's 'OK, they're not even the University of Hawaii,' but they're a really talented club."
NCAA BASKETBALL Charges filed for murder of basketball player
"Baseball's a game that you've got to play it to get comfortable," junior outfielder John Allman said. "You can hack away in the cages all you want. It helps, but getting in that game situation and getting comfortable, that's what's most important."
Last weekend, College World Series champion Oregon State opened its season in Hilo. The Beavers swept the Vulcans in four games.
With the earliest season opener in the Big 12, Kansas will need that offense talent to take on the team that has been outside virtually everyday of the preseason.
Exactly one year ago, Kansas took four of games from
Price said that he doesn't expect his players to be perfect, and would take into consideration that they have not been outside a single day of the preseason. He does want to see his team make improvements each day of the week, and plans to give each starter at least 20 attats, each starting pitcher one start and each reliever two appearances.
Richardson, 26, was found dead in front of his home Tuesday, police said.
BAXTER SPRINGS — Three men were charged with murder Wednesday with the death of former Pittsburgh State basketball player James Richardson.

"It's really a balancing act, if you will," Price said. "The fact that they're outside everyday with their weather we've got our hands full."
Czyz said pitching coach Ryan Graves was sending his pitchers to the mound to win five games, but the sophomore starter had a little extra incentive of his own.
"You can never go out there, even though we're going to Hawaii, and take it lightly," left-handed pitcher Nick Czyz said.
Hawaii-Hilo. However, they are not expecting an easy sweep.

Allman and junior shortstop Erik Morrison each drove in 52 runs last season. Morrison led the team with 14 home runs and sophomore first baseman Preston Land's slugging power put him on the preseason All-Big 12 team.

Turnover troubles cost victory
Lady Raiders challenge Jayhawks despite team leaders' impressive statistics, efforts
BY CASE KEEFER
Shaqina Mosley set yet another career high Wednesday with eleven assists. But, it was her nine turnovers that made a bigger difference in the end.
It wasn't only the senior guard who struggled with turnovers, but the entire Jayhawk team. Kansas committed 24 turnovers in a 66-65 loss to Texas Tech
"The turnovers make it difficult to say we played a good game," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "There were too many empty possessions."
Kansas did play well as far as scoring points, Junior forward Taylor McIntosh had a
career-high 16 points for the second straight game, but that was over-shadowed.
"It's very frustrating to turn the ball over that much," she said.
Many times the Jayhawks needed a big play on the offensive end; it seemed that the ball wound up in the hands of a Lady Raider.
The Jayhawks had just taken their largest lead at 23-17 after freshman guard Kelly Kohn hit a three-pointer from the corner with six minutes remaining in the first half.
Kansas would fail to build on the six-point lead, Sophomore guard Ivana Catic had passes intercepted on both of the following possessions that turned into easy Texas Tech points.
The half would end with a Mosley turnover that translated into a three-point play at the other end for Lady Raider forward Alesha Robertson. The layhawks headed to the locker room with 14 turnovers.
"Some of those were just silly mistakes." Henrickson said.
"The turnovers make it difficult to say we played a good game. There were too many empty possessions."
When the game was on the line in the second half, the trend continued. With 7:30 remaining, Kansas needed two points to tie the game. Off of a fast break, Mosey saw McNtosh wide open under the basket but overthrew her for her eighth turn-over of the night.
With 5:40 remaining McIntosh opted to pass instead of taking a wide open shot. The Lady Raiders
BONNIE HENRICKSON Women's basketball coach
came up with the ball and raced down the court for a wide-open three-pointer for Robertson.
59-52. For the next four and a half minutes, however, Kansas committed no turnovers and creeped back into the game.
At that point, Texas Tech seemed to be pulling away with its largest lead.
"I thought I was going to the hoop," Mosley said. "But I bobbled it and the last time that happened I turned it over."
Henderson was fouled and after missing both free throws, Mosley had one more chance. But for fear of turning the ball over, she settled for a jump shot.
With eight seconds left in the game, the Jayhawks were down one and Mosley attempted to penetrate from the left wing, Texas Tech guard LaVonda Henderson batted it out of her hands and she lost the ball.

DEFEAT (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
Erin Myrick presented major problems for the Jayhawks as the game wore on.
The Lady Raiders appeared to have control of the game with 9:12 remaining and a six point lead. However, as has often been the case this season, the Jayhawks had a bit of fight left in them.
Edwards secured rebounds and scored easily over the smaller Kansas defenders. Though she fouled out with four minutes remaining. Edwards tallied 11 points and six rebounds.
It was at this moment that McIntosh and McCray took control
of the game. In the next five minutes, McIntosh scored four straight points and took a charge underneath the basket, drawing a standing ovation from the crowd.
McCray quickly followed suit, making a three-point shot and taking a charge on back-to-back possessions.
Kansan sportswriter Asher Fusco can be contacted at afusco@kansan.com.
"We work so hard to get things right in practice," McCray said. "To come up short again is frustrating."
McIntosh tled the score at 65-65 with 39.5 seconds remaining on a fall away jump shot. However, on the ensuing Texas Tech possession McIntosh committed a hooking foul that sent Robertson to the free throw line. She made only one of the two free throws, but that was enough to

Last year the Jayhawks played the spotlight game in Austin, Texas, losing to the Longhorns 80-55. That Jayhawk team was comprised of several young players who said they didn't handle the pressure as well as they could have.
"We went into a tough road environment and got blown out of the water," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said.
Aside from the blowout in Austin, the Jayhawks also appeared on GameDay in 2005, the show's inaugural season. In that game, Wayne Simien and Keith Langford led the Jayhawks to a 90-65 victory against the Longhorns in front of the Allen Fieldhouse crowd.

This will be the first time in that environment for Kansas freshmen Darrell Arthur and Collins.

Great lengths for fish
Local biologists preview fishing season at presentation
BY TYLER KLAUS
Local fisheries biologists used fish taken from Clinton Lake to help all levels of fishermen, including students with limited budgets, distinguish between many native species at Fish Night on Friday. The event was presented by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks at their Region 2 headquarters in Topeka.
The free event included presentations on forecasted fish populations, habitat conditions and invasive species. It covered Clinton, Perry, Hillsdale, and Melvern Reservoirs. It also discussed several smaller state and county bodies of water.
They also provided their expertise on local fishing opportunities.
Kirk Tjelmeland, Atchison district fisheries biologist, said the event has more of a purpose than just putting out information.
"It's an opportunity to get to know some of the people that are using our waters," Tjelmeland said. He recently noticed a fisherman on davescountry.com seeking help with determining the species of his catch. Davescounty.com is a local public fishing and hunting Web site.
Comparing the fishing event to other major sports, Topeka resident Bernie Devoy said, "It's like if you go to a ball game, you want to know the
top 10" Devoy has fished at, Perry, Melvain and Shaven Lakes.
Clinton Lake is five miles west of Lawrence, off Clinton Parkway. Richard Sanders, Lawrence district fisheries biologist, discussed the current situation at the 7,000 acre lake. He said about 40 percent of the crappie population is eight to 10 inches in length and 20 percent is 10 to 12 inches in length. Sanders said these were good numbers for crappie fishing.
"It's been known as a crapie lake," Sanders said. "Fifty to 70 percent of anglers are after crapie." For catfish, 67 percent of the population is 11 to 16 inches in length and 26 percent is 16 to 24 inches in length. He said there was a good number of quality catfish. In addition, 34 percent of the white bass population is 12 to 15 inches in length, which is also a high number, Sanders said.
Perry Lake is north of Lawrence and 18 miles northeast of Torpeda on U.S. Highway 24. Tielmeland talked about the 11,630 acre lake. He said it will be another above average year for white crappie, catfish and white bass.
"it's some of the best fishing in the state of Kansas." Tielmeland said.
Hillsdale Lake is southeast of Lawrence and roughly three miles northwest of Paola. Dave Spalsbury,
Kansas City district fisheries biologist, spoke about the current situation at the 4,840 acre lake. According to Spalsbury, 33 percent of the walleye population is over the 18 inch length limit, which is very abundant. The catfish are similar to the high numbers at Perry. He also said 36 percent of the population of large-mouth bass is greater than the 15 inch length limit.
"We've got a lot of nice quality fish and on the other hand we have a lot of small fish for the future," Spalsbury said. He also said 39 percent of the white crappie population is greater than the 10 inch length limit.
"It's really good right now," Spalsbury said. "Almost 50-50 of the fish you catch, you know you're going to catch a keeper."
Perry and Hillsdale Lakes offer the best, closest fishing opportunities for students with limited budgets and time.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Self prepares to face longtime friend and former assistant Billy Gillispie
BY MARK DENT
Bill Self didn't even take a split second to come up with his response.
The name of the team that has had the most impressive turnaround recently other than Texas A&M rolled off his tongue like he had rehearsed it.
"UTER." he said.
Those two teams have something in common. The Miners and Aggies both became success stories with Billy Gillispie at the reigns, meaning Self has some serious respect for Gillispie.
"Nobody's done a better job coaching a team in America than this guy has," Self said. "They were 0-16 to 8-8 to the NCAA Tournament to a top 10 ranking, and they are deserving of that."
Self has no problem praising Gillispie because the two coaches, who will face off against each other Saturday, have been close friends for several years.
The two men started their friendship with the help of a doctor. Well actually, just a Doc. Current Nebraska coach Doc Sadler steered Self and Gillispie toward each other.
It was the summer of 1997, and Gillispie was toiling in obscurity as an assistant for a helpless Baylor team. Self was about to start his first year as head coach at Tulsa.
Sadler, who was an assistant at Arizona State, ran into Self at a high school tournament in Long Beach, Calif. The two started talking, and Self said he needed an assistant who could recruit well in Texas.
"I told him there's only one guy that you need to hire, and you don't even need to know who it is," Sadler said during Monday's Big 12 Basketball Coaches Teleconference. "He's the best."
Sadler gave his answer immediately.

Gillispie since he recruited one of his players at Ellison High School in Texas in the early 1990s. After Sadler's discussion with Self, he wanted to let Gillispie know right away. Since cell phones weren't common during that time, Sadler couldn't get hold of him and didn't talk to him until three days later at an airport in Colorado Springs. He could tell that Self and his friend had already spoken.
"I was going to tell him coach Self wanted to talk to him, but he was already wearing a Tuba sweatshirt," Sadler said. "I said, 'it looks like yall connected' and he said, 'Yeah'"
That connection became even stronger as Gillispie worked as an assistant for self for three seasons at Tulsa and for two seasons at Illinois. He helped Self make the NCAA Tournament tour out of five years and the Elite Eight twice, once with
each team.

Although they coach opposing teams in the same conference, the two men are still close. They call each other often, and Gillispie still refers to Self as "coach".
Self said he and Gillispie haven't
directly crossed recruiting paths vet, but they have faced each other twice in Big 12 play. The layhawks bested the Aggies both times with relative ease, but this year's matchup promises to be the most intense battle.
Texas A&M has improved every season under Gillispie, going from 0-16 before he got there to nearly defeating FinalFour participant LSU in the second round of last year's NCAA Tournament. This year's team is Gillispie's best and currently shares the lead with Kansas and Texas atop the Big 12.
Even with the tension and buildup that is being generated for Saturday's game, Gillispie isn't worrying about their relationship. He said he is concentrating on the difficulty of playing in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansan sportswriter Mark Dent can be contacted at mdent@kansan.com.
"When you go in there, it's one of the toughest home court advantages in the country," Gillispie said during the teleconference. "They always have a great team every single year, and they have for about 100 years. So when you go there you have plenty to worry about."

Self shares the same point of view as his friend. He said it is hard during the build up and postgame to play someone he has a relationship with, but when the game starts it doesn't matter.
"I'm not going to look down there and say there's my buddy Billy, and he's not going to say there's good ole Bill." Self said. "And to be honest, neither one of us would want it any other way."

It turns out the man, the late W. Clarke Wescoe, was anything but a criminal and had served the University system from 1960 to 1969. In "Good Afternoon, M.E.," Frank Tankard tells the true stories of Wescoe and a few of the other forgotten men and women who became places on campus.

With the game on the line, fans and athletes look to superstitions by Drew Hard.

Matt Rissien doesn't give much credence to most superstitions. He doesn't finish the game and then flips the sidewalk, and he couldn't care less about the Friday 13th. When it comes to Jayhawk sports, however Rissien, a Kansas fan, didn't himself with the unexplained
it's 2:45 p.m. on Jan 20 Fridays, plops down on a black leather couch in a small room in Alpha Epiphany Pli, 1116 Indiana St, in anticipation of the KU Texas Tech showdown. He is wearing a KU basketball team, the one he wears for every basketball game it is a home jersey, white with blue trim, with the number '30'
— for Rissner's favorite player, Julian Wright *on* the ity Jersey looked tired and worn and a little wrinkled. He grasps as he points out, almost proudly, the stains that have accumulated since the jayhawks most recent loss more than a month ago.
Enter superstition number one: Rissin won't wash the team until the team loses. There

This is a very common practice, especially in sports, says Stuart Vyse, professor of

action becomes associated with a team's success or defeat, says Richard Lustberg, a psychologist in New York and founder of www.psychology.com. It only works with people who are intentionally to stick. Lustberg says.
He likens superstition development to getting stomach flu. A person will normally have a negative association with the last thing he ate Lustergs say, even though that is not what caused the problem The same goes for superstitions and rituals. While there is no evidence to back up his effectiveness, it seems that he is more comfortable in stressful situations, which can ultimately help an athlete perform better and keep fans at ease.
**SUPPORTING THE TEAM BEEMOS PART OF YOUR IDENTITY IT'S HARD JUST SITTING THERE AND SAYING WHAT WELLAH HAPPENES HAPPENS. STUART VASE PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY
Rissien describes his other clothing rituals as the game wears on, one eye always on the screen. He lifts the leg of his shoes to display his gameday attire and plays when the Jayhawks play. They are white with blue trim and Jayhawks on the sides. They
are scuffed around the edges from Rissens' jumping and stumping at games. He also has a jacket that can be worn in camps out before each home game.
Whether at the game or at home, Rissen says that if the team is doing well he will move to a seat he will move to a different seat and
Vyse says that it is normal for fast-paced sports to have fewer superstitions among the players
While fans do what they can to ensure a victory, athletes have their own routines and superstitions. Other than a few minor rituals, neither he nor his teammate holds superstitions, says Julian Wright, sophomore from Westside High school, a call on a shot before it goes in the basket, though, because no one wants to jitit.
hope that their luck will change. Rissen switched seats twice during this game, but the final score was still disappointing.
Erik Morrison, junior infielder, says he has a few baseball bats. Most important is wearing a Super Mario wristband he has when his freshman season which the Arroyo Grande, Calif., junior says he never washes his hands with it. He crushes and gross, but that it is better than way because it is all part of the superfactor.
"I feel like my uniform is not complete without it on," says Morrison. "I feel naked without it."
Morrison also puts his uniform, on the same way every game sliding shorts, followed by jack strap athletic sock, socks urshers, undershorts (the same one he's worn since he was 15 years old), pants, shirt, belt, shoes, underwear. He also wars his pants leg rolled up for away games and rolled down for home games.
For Morrison and athletes like him, superstitions become routine. Morrison has never played a game without the wristband, and he says that not having it would throw him off.
For fans like Rissin, though,
it's more a question of karma.
"There's some reason why it 'all
is happening." Rissin says, "and
I have to relate to it myself Plus,
it more fun that way."

BALLROOM DANCING
The sport: Balloon dancing.
Originating in 18th and 19th century Europe, the couple dance was originally performed only by members of the upper class at social events.
Variations: Today, there are two styles of ballroom dancing: American and international. The international division includes standard dances such as the waltz; quick step, for trot, lungi and the Viennese waltz, as well as Latin dances such as the cha cha rumba, samba jive and the piano dance. In American dance, Stanley vice president of KU Danceport. American-style dances are more formal and include rhythm dances such

calories burned: Ballroom dancing can burn more than 300 calories an hour, say Carl Inzerli, physician at Inzerli Family Practice, 3320 Clinton Park Ct. That is more than three times the calories burnt by walking a mile.
Muscles worked: Dancing strengthens muscles in the arms, legs and stomach Aerobic exercise works all the big muscles in the body, making it both a means for weight control and a way to improve self esteem and sociality, says Sainte Barrand, ballroom dancing instructor for Lawrence Parks and Recreation.
JAY MUNCIER AND JOAN ROBINSON
The workout: While performing international-style dances like the waltz and the rumba, you are often stretching from side to side strengthening the muscles in your arms. Also because taking the steps requires a lot of control, both

Guard your skin from severe weather

Summer may be month away, but don't overlook that sunscreen and dip hair just because it's 30 degrees outside. Weather winds have a dangerous threat to skin, hair and nails. Cruel winds and the sun's reflection on snow puts us all at risk for chapped lips in summer. Suburbs will burn. Follow advice from area experts on how to winter proof your skin.
Bath time
As relaxing as a long, hot bath or shower may be when it's below freezing outside and your heater is broken, it's not the best idea for keeping your body soft. The hotter the water is, the drier your skin will be after washing.
Also, don't soap up too much in the showers worm Lice Bitenbender, dermatologist at Dermatology Center of Lawrence, 930 Iowa St. Body wash, and soaps remove
TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN
1. Hydrate. Drink six to eight glasses of water a day to keep your skin moistured from the heat.
2. Use gentle cleansers.
Beware of mixing products, especially oils with ingredients that work against each other. Don't use benzyl peroxide and salicylic acid together it will dry up.

Even when it's cold and cloudy outside, the sun's rays can penetrate through clouds to damage your skin. Defend yourself daily with a face mask or uv sunscreen at least SPF 30.

Applying sunscreen and lip balm daily during the winter will protect your skin and lips from the dry, windy weather.
Besides applying suncream, lip balm and body oil, the best way to protect yourself from harsh winds and sunlight is to cover up hats, scarves and mittens. A scarf over the face will keep chilly winds from chapping your cheeks, and a hat will protect your scalp from sun damage and your hair from sunburn. Mittens are better than socks.

My fascination with Mrs. E is simple. She is a person. And she is a dining hall.
Every day on campus, students coexist with visitors like Wescoe, Malot, Budig, Mrs. E. Some names belong to benefactors, some to professors, some to students, some to dedicated staff members.
One hundred and thirty-seven major buildings occupy the 1,000-acre Lawrence Campus. More than 100 of them are named for someone. Add to that lecture halls, floors and anything else that can be named, and campus is so stuffed with artifact, names it a wonder anyone remembers any of them.
E
Some of these named things work to perpetuate the legends of the people they named after like Allen Fieldhouse, named The Alumni, named Thong Alien but most on to take on a life of their own, and the memory of the person behind the name is lost — so that when we think of Wescoe we think not of the late W. Clarke Wescoe, the man who built the parking garage-like building clogging the middle of campus.

building:
About the
Designed in 1967 as a 25- story skyscraper and the third-largest educational building in the United States, a lack of funds led to the scale of building that opened in 1973.
About the man:
Wesco Hall is known by many as the largest building on campus. This year the buildings of the community people with offices there had developed brain tumors in the past eight years' initial reports indicate the building is safe, and the people are in flow in some places.
W Clarke Wescoe (1920-2004)
served as the University's 10th
chancellor from 1960 to 1969.
During an era of Vietnam protests (some of them taking place in the 'Wesco Hole', as the pit where Hesleo Hall was to stand was called in the years awaiting its opening), Ms. Pike, known as a friendly man with a sense of humor who worked with students more than his predecessors had.
He was so friendly with the students, in fact, that he once had his ibs broken by one of them. In 2015 defenses and defense Vanoy vanoy
steped out of the shower and gave Wescott a giant bear hug in the locker room following the KU football team's defeat of Missouri to advance to the 104th Coca-Cola Field.
In the mid-60s, Wesco began seminading students at commencement with lyrics held to the tune of popular songs of the time, and they sang in concert orchestra backing him.
Wescoe and his wife Barbara, would occasionally enjoy a drink. But because the chancellor's residence, The Chancellor's House, drinking wasn't allowed, his son David says. One day the
chancellor at the University of Nebraska told Wescoe that what he did was toss his bottle onto the yard, then threw it into a trash can and creep and complain that those dangled fraternity boys were at it again. Wescoe found this to be an efficient way of discarding
As far as the connection between Wescoe Hall and the name goes, David Wescoe says that from the time he enrolled in the University in the mid-70s, to when he graduated, no student ever made the connection.

"Many people who visit the campus believe that I am dead because a building carries my name," he says by phone from New York City, where he often does business these days. People in the Lawrence community tell them they are surprised to learn that the former chancellor is among the living."
Budig. chancellor from 1891-1934, was born in 1939 in Lincoln, Neb., and lived in an orphanage for the first months of his life before he was adopted by a Jewish woman. Budig of small-town McCook Neb.
Baseball dominated his childhood. He grew up going to simi pro baseball games with the Indians because he became enamored with the team.
When Budig's big-league dreams didn't pan out, he enrolled
journalism school at the University of Nebraska, moonlighting as a reporter and editorial writer for the Lincoln Star and the Lincoln Journal newspapers. he went on to get kusthistory.com. He went on to get his master's degree in English and doctorate in journalism, the university of Nebraska offering the Nebraska Air National Guard. H served for 30 years, until 199
reaching the rank of major general.
Buddy quickly climbed the academic ranks, becoming the president of Illinois State University at the age of 34 in 1952. Buddy is now at Western Illinois University before moving at the University of Kansas.
In 1994 the baseball bug bit Budig again when Major League Baseball's owners asked him to become president of the American League. He jumped at the chance to be president over the years with current MLB commissioner Bud Gil, Roy Sigel, owner Ewing Kukab and other
baseball executives.
Twelve days after Budd assigned the presidency, MLB players went on strike. The World Series was cancelled. Budd spent the rest of his career as president working to restore the league's tarnished image. In 1999 the American League and National League presidencies were dissolved, and Budd became special adviser to Commissioner Drew Patsy.
After spending several years at Princeton University as a professor in

MALOTT HALL
About the building:
Malott hall was built in 1954 and is home to various science studies, including chemistry, physics and the School of Pharmacy.
About the man:
sed
Deane W. Malott (1898-1996) served as the University's eight chancellor, from 1959 to 1951, before leaving to serve as president of Cornell University. He was born in Bellehue, he was the first native Kaiden and the first KU graduate to be chancellor
"They absolutely took over the front yard." Janet says, who was inside the house at the time. "They surrounded the house it was kind of scary, really. They all had candles and were yelling and screaming when they deserved a vacation because they beat "State."
On Nov. 17, 1941, following the football teams 20-16 upset victory against K-State, thousands of students demanded a holiday so they could attend school. The refused, a mob surrounded the chancellor's mansion on campus.
In the World War II years, Malcolm had to make tough decisions and was instrumental in bringing military training programs to campus His daughter Janel Malott Elliot remember that he could be a firm leader when the times demanded it.
When Malott students downtown with a casket labeled 'Malott coffin' and hanged it
chancellor, according to kuhistory com.
Maloit's wife, Eleanor, led an effort to plant 1,200 crab apple trees on campus, many of which still stand today. For help planting the trees, she enlisted German expatriate conservation Africa, who were being detained in Lawrence. These POWs also helped build Danforth Chapel.
The Maltots also organized a "dandelion day," and recruited students in Greek houses and campuses on day picking dandelions on campus.
"And it was fun," Janet says. "They made it fun. It didn't cost the University anything, and everyone got out and dug the dandelions."
Once, son Bob Malott says, when the Malotts were leaving the chancellor's residence. Eleanor's
finger got caught in the heavy ash door. Her finger was bleeding profusely, so they wanked to the Memory Hospital, where she realized her finger had been cut off. Bob ran back to the ground, grabs the finger, and bumps it back to the hospital, where it saw seed on back as good as new.

the final round. The pressures on and $50,000 might be at stake. Monica Leeker sets down her Burd Light and steps back. She then lights up a stage at Johnny's Tavon, 40. N. Second Lt. Leek faces her opponent with her entire body and on the count of three, both players round one of their fists before hand. Each hand times three and then.
The Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament sponsored nationally by Bud Light was more than just a friendly competition; to sales managers for alcoholic beverages distributors, promotions like this tournament are a part of the job.
On premise sales managers for local alcohol distributors say that while their jobs are full of challenges, they don't time it, they're not always easy.
There is only so much space in a bar and there are endless possibilities of what alcohol to fill it with, jose Burnett Glazer of Kansas on premiere of 'The Catch' that where he comes in.
On premises salesmanagers of alcoholic beverage distributors put a lot of effort into marketing and selling alcohol. They can see their efforts when their products are sold in bars, restaurants and liquor stores. Making an impact is important, but the battle, but generating brand loyalty is another matter. That's where promotions at bars give
away pins, T-shirts and other prizes come in. If the customer doesn't already like the product, a salesperson can tell if the promotions work.
Leiker, a Hutchinson fourth-year nursing student, says it did

work. She ended up winning the tournament at Johnny's on Jan 19, and says that promotions that get people involved rather than pass out free stuff are a lot of fun. They get people involved and raise the energy in the bar She would probably buy Bud Weir if it wasn't already her beer or choice, she says.
"Really?" How many of those T-shirts are you going to wear? They're usually extra-large 's. You have a big competition, a big competitor."
Not so much fluff
Alcohol distributors compete for business and space on the shelves behind local bars, in restaurants, liqueurs and stores, in warehouses or on accounts, or places that distribute tells varies for each
company,but the number ranges from 45 to 60.
Managing these accounts, sometimes doing inventory and submitting orders to the distribution center and supervising promotions are all common tasks for an on-preme sale manager Glazer's most well-known alcohols are Jagermeister, Jack Daniels, UV Malibu, Stolz, and New Belgium. Burnett says Glazers has around 5,000 bottles, wine and liqueurs to sell. He suggests that you home base in Lexan. Burnett specializes in beer and spirits, he says, although he is jointly responsible for the Quinton's wine night promotion that has been going on for a few years.
"On-premise sales is key to the liquor industry," Burnett says as he take a sip of his beer and sits in his leather-backed bock stool at a table tall near the bar at the Yacht Club, 500 Wisconsin Dane. You won't be able to compete with bars on shelves."
Burnett showed off one of his latest accomplishments at Yacht Club. pointing out a sign on each table that said various flavors of UV Vodka were proudly served there now. In a smaller bar at a restaurant, there is usually room for variety he says. A sake is available, and you pick one brand of flavored vodka to carry; Smimoff, Grey Goose or any other brand, but it's UV for Yacht Club.
Bryan Miller, a manager for Jawhayk Beverage, which sells Coors products. Palst and Bouleauer, in is charge of 45 accounts. He does promotions in bars, on premise sales to the bars and makes sure that his accounts are fully stocked. He comes by each bar every week multiple times to check the inventory and what needs to be stocked. He make sure all the neon signs and posters given to the bar for display are in pristine condition, and installs and replaces them as needed. He's pretty much the only lionace between his
company and the accounts.

Getting to know new people,
making friends with clients,

owners and getting to go out

are all perks of the job.
None of the men have any real complaints. Burnett says it is a demanding job with sometimes
inconvenient hours for a family man, but he was happy to do it 'o pay his bills.
Destined to sell?
Burnett and Miller do not think their careers as sales managers are permanent. Burnett says that he's been in the business for five years between his time working for Budweiser and then at Glazer and its beginning to wear on him it's a 40-hour work week plus nighttime promotions at Budweiser and has a 3-year-old daughter.

Mike Bouneuf, a team leader for O'Malloy Beverage of Lawrence, moved to Lawrence from Tulsa OKa, to start his new job working for his stepfather this past November Before he worked for Anheuser-Busch for three years. For Bouneuf, it was the first time he will be working for O'Malloy Beverage until he retires.
Six months from now, Leiker will be competing against winners from 23 other promotions in Lawrence for the city title. If she wins, she'll get a free trip to Las Vegas to compete in the national tournament for a chance at $50,000.

I MET THIS AMAZING GIRL THE OTHER NIGHT, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO CALL HER. IN THE MOVIE SWINGSHEY THEY SAY YOU Should WAIT A FEW DAILIES BEFORE CALLING SO YOU DO NOT SEE DESAPARENT, HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT BEFORE I CALL HER, AND SHOULD I ASK HER OUT ON THE FIRST CALL?
MIKE SENIOR
Oh boy... the calling game. Let me just make it clear for the record. This game is not for any girl. If you really think girl is amazing then go ahead and call her how. She's not going to hour but the next evening would be fine. if she's into you, calling one day later versus three won't make her like you any less. In
fact, she will flatter and feel more secure about your feelings for her which will lead to an overall better experience for you both.
Yes, go ahead and ask her out on the first call, but make it really casual, preferably a coffee or tea out. If she doesn't like chocolate, if it goes well, then ask her out again.
There's no need to wait three days before letting her know you had a good time. But beware of being too intense. Don't start acting like she's giving your Griffith after date number two and don't start contacting her. Remember to miss out on the 'foray' if you move too quickly. Remember, slow and steady wins the race.
BEFORE MY BYFRIEND AND I MOVED IN TOGETHER, I WAS ECSTATIC THINKING ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO SPEND ALL OF OUR TIME TO GETHEN. BUT LATELY I FOUND THAT I'VE BELOW MORE OF A MOM OR A MAID, AND THAT THE ONE WHO DOES ALL THE COOKING AND CLEANING, IT SEEMS LIKE HE EXPECTS ME TO DO THESE THINGS. I'M GETTING REALLY FED UP, AND ALL MY ATTEMPTS TO COMUNICATE HAVE GOTTEN ME NOWHERE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
This is one of those rare occasions in which actually believe that communication is not the answer. Any way on your part translates in his mind to "nagging." So less talk, more action? Or perhaps, inaction. You see if he's expecting you to cook and clean it because it's what he expects. So it's as simple as letting his dirty pants lift up the floor
JESSICA, SENIOR
until he has nothing clean to wear at school on Friday. Don't make dinner one night and when he says he's staring and wants to know what there is to eat you say "oh, actually I want to walk around my only way home! I didn't have time to make anything tonight."
He尔生 beeply. He尔 complain. He might even get angry. But stick to you. He lets you tempting to cave in and
start cleaning when the house starts turning into a piggy, but you’re only encouragement if you see it happening, relax and before you know it he’ll start to take some responsibility for himself and see you as a less of a mother, you’d see him as a father. You also a lot more passion.

A. J.
by Mark Vierthaler
From the first hit, you're hooked.
The stale, musky smell of sweat disappears and the only sound you hear is your heart in your ears.
The ends of your nerves have been stretched and electrified. Swat peas down your face and burns you until they are red pimples from behind from a bourgeon below.
It's hockey.Welcome to the suck.
Often considered the bastard child of the sports world, hockey has long been relegated to off-handed jokes about missing teeth between football and basketball plays.
But never before have you seen a set of athletics so dedicated to their craft, even if their craft means the occasional hintage to the occasional heart of "Blood on the ice."
There's a culture that
comes with the hockey lifestyle. For years I had watched college and professional hockey, trying to catch the adrenaline rush of the lads. I loved music, television, and television doesn't do the sport justice.
So, I figured, why not try out? The University has had an ice hockey club team in some incarnation or another sport, so why not teach myself how to skate and go out for the team?
Cut to one year later and a 200-pound right barreling down wrist sleeves. Out of pure luck, I get my shoulder down and slam into him. I send him reeling back into the game and I've tasted the game.
It's a lucky bit. Not five minutes later. I'm body checked, stick checked, stick checked. A stick full-black into a stick full-blast into my
stomach, under my pads.
There is an infinity between the first moment of contact and the time you hit the air. The lungs compress and the ribs expand into a thousand cells of confusion. The head whips back the skates fly out from beneath you, and you're in the air.
Then your heart speed up and your body makes hard unmistakable contact with the ice. Sometimes you're back up before you feel pain from the ice. Sometimes you're halfway down the ice before your legs go out from under you and your taste frozen water.
That night my body took its revenge for the sudden change of lifestyle. True, I may have run cross country in high school and competed in triathlons, but nothing can prepare the body for hockey.
Looking at my naked
reflection. I take an inventory of the war wounds. There still a small trickle of blood running from my stomach where I was spared A.
EVERY MUSCLE FIBER

EXHAUSTION.

Blood and Chocolate
MOVIE
Blood and chocolate combine the two word sub-genus in film today. The oh-so-hip supernatural flick and the cheery, clichéd romance flick.
The supernatural focus is on Vivian Agan Bruckner (and her 500-year-old family of wiveswomen, who are not the powers a secret by arranging a marriage between Vivian and her uncle. She falls for a young non-werewolf art And, surprise And, disapprove. Pursed by her family, Vivian must decide between
loyalty (blood) and desire (chocolate).
You can't always judge a movie by its title. Unfortunately, this film is what you would expect. Blood and Chocolate is strung together with atrocious dialogue, laughable special effects and scene after scene of teenagers jumping off of things it's not meant for. The filmmakers wanted us to know that werewolves would become extinct if they didn't jump around every two minutes.
Surprisingly, the jumping is the most refreshing thing about
the movie Blood and Chocolate is just another pre-packaged formulaiculd, and those who can't recognize that deserve to suffer through it.
The screenwriters had the audacity to give Vivian the line, "Do you know how film works?" The answer here is a resounding "no."

Do Your Shows Always Suck?
COMEDY
by Andy Dick
Andy Dick humor has never been for everyone. My mother hates him. And if you are not interested in hearing in what regard he holds his gems, then his upcoming album Do Your Woman Suck is not for you.
musings and songs is a combination of two shows, the second of which has Dick sounding a little more relaxed tread, sturded and then winding to a point that virtually every track has something to do with someone's genitals.
defecation, or some combination thereof.
Some of Dick's other topics include his time in rehab and what put him there. His most frequent subject is his mother, which is both entertaining and offers some psychoanalytic insight.

TEXAS TECH 66, KANSAS 65
Last-minute disappointment
Sloppy second-half play leads to eighth-straight division loss in as many tries
BY ASHER FUSCO
If the jahwavas are feeling a bit of deja vu, it would be understandable.
After the teams eighth conference loss in as many tries, every game is beginning to look like the last. Kansas took a two point lead into halftime, but sputtered in the second half on the way to a narrow 66-65 loss against Texas Tech.
Early in the game everything seemed to be falling in the jayhawks favor. Freshman forward Danielle
McCray came off of the bench and scored four quick points to give Kansas an 8-4 advantage.
The teams stuck to their trademark styles in the first half, turning the ball over and missing the majority of their shots. At several points the sloppy style of play and frantic pace played into the layhawks hands, allowing for easy lay-ups and baskets in transition.
Senior guard Shaquina Mosley benefited the most from the uptempo pace, scoring 18 points along with 11 assists and nine rebounds.
"Shaq was aggressive," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She did a good job of getting rebounds and racing the ball down the floor."
Texas relied on the steady play of forward Alesha Robertson to keep the Kansas lead within six points. Robinson, a versatile player with the shooting ability of a guard and the size of a forward, scored 12 points in the first half and 20 overall.
"She is quick for a player her size," junior forward Taylor McIntosh said. "I knew coming into the game that
she would be tough, and she was."
The Lady Raiders went into half-time on a high note after scoring six points in the final minute and a half. This scoring spurt proved to be just a hint of what was to come.
It became apparent in the first few minutes of the second half that Kansas simply lacked the size to defend Texas Tech near the basket. 6-foot-6 senior center Patrice Edwards and 6-foot-3 junior center

Kansas baseball manager uses state to reload his program
BY SHAWN SHROYER
A high school student in California, Paul Smyth knew all about the Price brothers. Growing up in Anascadero, Calif., Smyth lived less than 20 miles away from San Luis Obispo, where Ritchie, Ryne and Robby Price were making a name for themselves.
One summer in high school, Smythis baseball team eventually met up with Ritchie and Ryne team. Being a pitcher, Smyth finally had his chance to prove he could hang with the Prices.
"I knew exactly who the Price brothers were. I'd never met them, but I was facing them for the first time." Smyth said. "Actually struck Ryne out and I thought I was just the coolest guy in the world. Ritchie comes up in his next at bat and hits a come backer that almost takes off my leg."
Now a sophomore reliever on the Kansas baseball team, Smyth is one of nine players who graduated from high school in California.
Add in Ryne and Robby Price, who lived in San Luis Obispo before attending Free State High School, and 11 of the 34 players on Kansas roster have ties to the Golden State.

ESPN to feature KU on GameDay
Hype surrounds Big 12 rival game KU vs. Texas A&M
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
The spotlight is always bright at Kansas, but it will be turned up another notch this weekend. ESPN's College GameDay is coming to town, and that means a week of hype and festivities building up to Saturday night's game against No. 10 Texas A&M.
Students are expected to come out in big numbers for the game and the Saturday morning pregame show.
"When the fans get into it, we feed off of them," freshman guard Sherron Collins said. "It's like a boost of energy for us."
Early Wednesday afternoon there
were 59 camping groups inside Allen Fieldhouse, and there are still three days until the game. Coach Bill Self said the enthusiasm from the students helps sell recruits on Kansas
"It is not what we do that gives us the exposure as much as the atmosphere," he said. "When they film the students camping out, that's what shows people that fans here are pretty serious about their basketball."
The pregame show begins at 10 a.m., beginning a day full of coverage from inside Allen Fieldhouse.
"There's a lot of buildup to it, and I think ESPN does a great job making it comparable to the football Saturdays," Self said.
The team will treat the 8 p.m. game like any other night game, including a morning shoot around and an afternoon nap.
Rush and Collins said they'll probably catch the pregame portion

A hefty portion of Kansas student-fans yell out "CHEIFS" at the end of the national anthem here too. It's been going on since I was a freshman, and according to others I've talked to, it dates back well beyond that.

That is, until I came to the University of Kansas as a freshman
I don't understand it
Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium are the home of the Jayhawks. The Chiefs have never played at either venue. On top of that, as angry as most KU students are with the Border Showdown being moved to Arrowhead, I don't understand why those same students would be celebrating the host team — the Chiefs — by screaming their name before the Kansas Jayhawks took the floor against the Missouri Tigers, or any other team for that matter.
Just as importantly, though, the University of Kansas is the home of the Jayhawk. Show the Jayhawk players enough respect not to yell out the name of another team while they're standing on the court.

>> CONCEALED CARRY
'No Weapons' signs proliferate
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
No smoking. No pets. No handguns?
Since the Jan. 1 enactment of the Kansas Family Safety Act, more commonly known as Concealed Carry, state residents can apply for a permit to carry concealed weapons. Several locations around Lawrence and the University of Kansas now display the image of a handgun with a red slash through it, similar to the traditional "No Smoking" logo commonly seen on storefronts and public sites.
According to the act, private property owners or business owners can restrict licensed carriers from carrying weapons onto their premises by posting the logo in an area that customers were likely to see upon entrance.
Buses running on campus have the logo, as do entrances to the
University. In addition to the posted signs, metal signs have been installed with the University's weapons policy, which restricts all weapons, not just concealed weapons.
Captain Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the logo signs were a visual reminder that universities were exempt from the act, and that the signs were meant to remind everyone of the campus' weapons policy.
All buses operated by the Lawrence Transit System have visible stickers with the "No Weapons" logo. Debra Kelley, manager of the Lawrence Bus Company, said the stickers were put on all Park and Ride, KU on Wheels and "T" buses beginning in December. That action was the attorney general's decision, and Kelley said the idea was to protect all members of the public.
Michiko Takei/KANSAN
"They're legal now," Kelley said.
"Since people can conceal weapons, this was our war to eliminate that."
Kelley said her office had not heard any complaints for the signs, and that she thought people generally knew what they meant.
Some buildings do not have to post the logo to keep weapons out. The Concealed Carry law does not apply to churches, government buildings or businesses whose profit is at least 50 percent from alcohol sales.
Those interested in applying for a permit must first complete a training program. Further guidelines of the act are available on the attorney general's Web site, www.ksag.org.
A "No Weapons" sign stands at the west entrance to campus. The Concealed Carry law for guns took effect Jan. 1. Now entrances to campus have posted signs.

Panelists encourage open race discussion
BY KATY BLAIR
Two panel groups addressed questions and comments about race and gender from students in the Burge Union, DBR & THE MISSION, a string quartet from New York City, spoke as guest panelists, and Black Student Union executive board members sat on the last panel for the evening. Each panel focused on its experiences and thoughts about racial tension in America, and what needs to be done to improve the issue.
There was no wrong question at Thursday night's panel discussion, "You've got questions, we've got answers," which kicked off Black History Month at KU.
DRR & THE MISSION supports learning and personal responsibility to break up harmful stereotypes. It isn't just about black people, said Daniel Bernard Roumain, founder of the band. Roumain said the conversation about America's racial issues is not simple, and should be more easily talked about within society.
"Invitation," said Jon Weber of DBR & THE MISSION. "There needs to be a lot more inviting in to learn about cultures, and to encourage people to let go of their fear."
The Black Student Union panel members commented on problems at a more local level.

Wireless Web access to increase in 2 phases
With funding in place, Boots expects work on wireless to begin immediately.
Before the bill was approved, Networking and Telecommunications Services conducted a study on wireless availability on campus. Through the study they were able to determine what buildings are in the most need for wireless Internet. Those buildings will be first in line to receive wireless access, Boots said.
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Wireless access will be added to all academic and common areas on campus. This does not include administrative spaces.
"We hope to see results as soon as spring break," Boots said at the Senate meeting.
"In terms of technology, we're behind a lot of other schools." Boots said during the meeting. "Some schools claim to have 95 percent wireless. We can have 20 percent on a good day."
The student fee will increase $5 per year for the next five years for students enrolled at the Lawrence campus, according to the bill.
Student Senate passed the bill to fund the wireless campus initiative during its biweekly meeting Wednesday night. The bill includes an increase in student fees and money from the Student Senate reserve bank account to pay for expanded wireless Internet access.
Jason Boots, student body president, and Melissa Horen, student body vice president, worked on the initiative, which was a platform they ran during elections last spring.
Boots and Horen worked closely with KU Information Services to ensure the initiative would have the backing of the University.
The University has agreed to match student funding dollar for dollar, said Allison Lopez, public relations and marketing manager for KU Information Services
The estimated cost for installation of wireless internet will total $2.6 million.

Researchers get updated facility
BY DANAE DESHAZER
On the corner of 39th Street and Rainbow Boulevard in Kansas City, Kan., stands 205,000 square feet of laboratories and rooms to foster new research on liver disease, reproductive sciences, neuroscience, diabetes and proteomics, which examines structures of proteins and how they can be used to treat diseases.
The $57.2 million Kansas Life Sciences Innovation Center opened Jan. 23. The center not only offers a larger space, but also higher quality machinery and options for faculty than the previous facility.
Peter Smith, neurological sciences program director, said that the center's structure also allows for a team science approach.
"There is a change in the direction of research." Smith said. "We are all moving away from the independent researcher sitting alone at his telescope late at night. That model is certainly not what we expect of our people right now. What we have now are teams, groups of people that
have complimentary backgrounds and approach problems from different perspectives"
The new center houses 60 laboratories — approximately one lab for every professor — and has 300 total occupants. Twenty-three new
professors were recruited from throughout the nation, said Paul Terranova, vice chancellor for research.
As part of a statewide effort to push the limits of research, the state will
quate space and conditions, including constant leaks, contamination and air conditioning problems.
Another need for the new center was created by the recent expansion of research programs. Yvonne Wan, liver program director, said that
"We are fully equipped to do any type of research we want to do. There are no limiting factors."
fund the first five years of the center. The KU Medical Center will fund the final 15 years from research grants. Also, the Hall Family Foundation donated $27 million to provide up-to-date equipment.
The previous facilities had been used since around 1970. Before the new center was built, Smith said the scientists were limited by inade-
YVONNE WAN Liver program director
over the past three years, the liver program added eight researchers, causing interactions to become less frequent. Wan said they needed a centralized location to achieve
a higher caliber of research
"The bottom line is that now we have a state of the art facility and we can compete with other first class institutions." Wan said. "We are fully equipped to do any type of research we want to do. There are no limiting factors."
Smith said at the R.L. Smith Mental Retardation Center, he had
45 investigators working on projects at seven different sites. With the new center, 80 percent of the investigators can work in one area.
"We have a culture of collaboration and cooperation, which is very difficult to establish if all of your people are in different locations." Smith said. "Now, we can achieve lot more."
Smith said that it is exciting to see a new priority on research after he saw the KU Medical Center slow down its forward momentum.
"It is very gratifying after seeing things stagnate for a while," Smith said. "We have gone through a realignment of perspectives. We are seeing ourselves as a valuable player in the state and community, technology and understanding, and a major force locally, regionally and nationally."

EDUCATION
Proposed bill gives veterans free tuition
BY JOE HUNT
Veterans no longer serving in the military won't have to pay for college tuition in Kansas if a bill proposed by the Student Legislative Awareness Board is passed.
The bill, called The Returning Heroes' Education Act, would require veterans to meet certain criteria. A veteran must have been honorably discharged on or after Jan. 1, 2000, be a resident of Kansas, be a high school graduate or equivalent and not have served more than 10 years of active duty.
Veterans would not be required to attend a publicly owned institution, and the state would not pay for classes that were repeated or not required for graduation.
"It would keep me from re-signing with the Army if it passes," Crook said. "I wouldn't lengthen my commitment."
Dustin Crook, Olpe sophomore served in Iraq from February 2004 to February 2005 and is still in the Army. He said better education benefits for veterans might change that situation.
A lot of support has already
been raised for the bill because it would be beneficial for those who have served, said Ian Staples, Student Legislative Awareness Board director and Lawrence senior.
"Currently, veterans can receive a variety of benefits, but they're mostly geared towards a government stipend." Staples said. "That's pretty lacking."
While the bill would help veterans, Sergeant Erich Schorr at the Lawrence Army and Army Reserve Recruiting Station, 2233 Lousiana Ave., said that if it was passed, it would not affect his approach to recruiting.
Staples said the proposed bill was based on the Kansas National Guard Educational Assistance Act. The Act provided similar assistance to 514 people in the National Guard this year. A large portion of the funding for the bill came from state lottery ticket revenue.

New Harley store rolls into Lawrence
》 HOGS IN THE PHOG
Crystal Brennan, O'Fallon, Mo., senior, said she had inherited a love for Harley-Davidson motorcycles from her family. She said she had not yet heard about the Riverfront Harley store, but she said she planned to visit the store now.
ABILENE — A minivan involved in a deadly crash on Interstate 70 may have been carrying illegal immigrants, immigration officials said Thursday.
The van was packed with 10 people and stripped of all but its front seat when it overturned Wednesday east of Abilene, killing one passenger, said Carl Rusnok, a spokesman for the Bureau of immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"Almost all the passengers had nothing to sit on and no safety devices," Rusnok said.
"The bottom line is: This is characteristic of a smuggling van. The alien smugglers have no regard for human life. They
"A lot of our customers already come from Lawrence, and we've had a lot of growth with our business here in Topeka." Patterson said.
The Kansas Highway Patrol identified the victim as Cesar A. Rodriguez, 32, of Guatemala.
Patterson said Harley-Davidson had grown partly because Harley provided a community as well as bikes.
try to maximize their profits by putting as many people as possible inside a vehicle."
Brennan said Harley fans liked to gather together, and the Riverfront store might give Harley fans in Lawrence that opportunity.
"One thing that's unique to the Lawrence store is that we are a smaller store," Patterson said. "We think that's important because the Harley-Davidson bike is a real personal product."
The driver and his eight other passengers, all but one from Mexico, were injured but refused treatment, the patrol said.
He said business at Riverfront had been better than expected to this point, but that it was too early to determine if the store was successful.
"It's a unique product that brings a diverse group of people together," he said.
"Harley sold lifestyle." Campbell said, "as well as a pretty damn good motorcycle."
He also attributed the growth partly to the reputation the company has developed.
The 1998 van had South Carolina plates. Geary County Sheriff's Department Under-sheriff Carlos Roman said the victims told him they were traveling to the Kansas City area for work.

As Adam Burnett talked with crew members before a dress rehearsal of his play, "The Sensualist," on Wednesday night, technicians joked that he had been writing plays since he was 2 years old.

of because of the
amount of work
it took.
Ferrell described the play as "whole-gratifying" — as opposed to "self-gratifying" — because cast and crew members worked together and depended on each other.
"As a theater major, this is what our lives are," Burnett said. "It is difficult, but I love doing it so that takes the stress away."
Burnett traveled for two months throughout Europe last summer, regularly attending the theatre
Burnett said it is rare that the play is being produced the way it is, which is without any existing company or producer. The entire play is being produced under $2,000. With the exception of a $300 grant and a $200 donation, the money came from Burnett's savings.

New program offers students internships in London, Dublin
As summer approaches, hundreds of University of Kansas students will begin searching for internships.
For the first time, students will have the opportunity to work abroad in either London or Dublin for credit as part of a new internship program run by the KU Office of Study Abroad.
The program is called Interships Abroad. It is a collaboration between KU and European Study Abroad, or EUSA, a non-profit organization
run by Boston University.
The seven-week program allows students to earn academic credit and to gain professional experience in fields such as art, business, communication, politics and health care. The Office of Study Abroad provides accommodations in student housing.
"Once they've been accepted; EUSA guarantees an internship. If a student is asking for a specific request, we'll go out and find it," said Samantha Cooper, EUSA director of university relations.
Applications are due Feb. 15. In
addition to an application, interest- ed students must submit a resume, a statement of purpose, a photograph and an ARTS form or transcript. An academic reference is also required. Students should submit materials to the Office of Study Abroad.
EUSA representatives will be on campus in March to hold interviews and begin placing accepted students in internships. A phone interview with prospective employers might also be required.

Chavez takes control of oil
- Edited by Trevan McGee
Socialist revolution takes off with Presidential decrees
BY IAN JAMES ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARACAS, Venezuela — The Venezuelan government will take majority control of oil projects in the Orinoco River basin by May 1 and any foreign oil company that resists can leave, President Hugo Chavez said Thursday as he elaborated on his sweeping nationalization plans.
Chavez told a news conference that his government is "not posting any conflict" to oil companies British Petroleum PLC, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., ConocoPhillips Co., Total SA and Statio ASA that are upgrading heavy oil in the Orinoco.
Chaver, who, a day earlier was given power by congress to issue laws by decree in energy and other areas, said he was ready to sign a decree for the nationalization of the four Orinoco projects by May 1. He said that state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA, would take a stake of "no less than 60 percent."
He also said that 3,000 Venezuelan employees in the Sincor project — jointly owned by France's Total, Norway's Statoil and PDVSA — would become PDVSA employees.
When private companies producing oil elsewhere in the country submitted to state-controlled
joint ventures last year, few resisted because they were reluctant to abandon Venezuela, which has the largest oil deposits outside of the Middle East.

is no reason on the horizon to feel any kind of fear."
"We are not going to copy the Soviet model nor the current model of socialism in Europe nor the Cuban model.
We are going to create our own model." Chavez said.
Chavez has said he will use his special decree powers, which will be in force for 18 months, to also nationalize the country's biggest telecommunications company and the electricity and natural gas sectors.
》 GAMBLING
Caesars Palace sets record straight
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAS VEGAS — In an attempt to set the record straight about one of its best customers, Caesars Palace took the unusual step Thursday of disclosing the casino losses of Celine Dion's husband and manager, Rene Angelil.
It did so because of a report in London's Observer that quoted a senior official of Caesars' corporate parent as saying that Angell giggled as much as $1 million a week. Jan Jones, senior vice president of communications and government relations for Caesars owner, Harrah's Entertainment Inc., later said she was speaking hypothetically and that she did not know how much he gambled. She also apologized for referring to him by name.
Caesars said Thursday that Angell's casino losses in 2005 and 2006 totaled exactly $230,300, but were offset by his tournament poker winnings of $259,079. The casino said it released the totals with his permission.
V
"In life and in business, Rene is a winner, and one of the finest people I have ever known," Caesars president Gary Selesman said in a statement.

Oprah mediates apology between killer, victim's family
DETROIT — A 21-year-old man freed from custody for a murder he committed at age 11 has apologized to the victim's family, with help from Oprah Winfrey.
Nathaniel Abraham, who lives in Bay City, traveled to Chicago with the intent of appearing on Winfrey's TV show Wednesday. But the tape was caked at his
lawyer's request.
Hours before the planned taping, Abraham met in Winfrey's private office with the family of murder victim Ronnie Greene Jr., 18, whom Abraham shot with a rifle in 1997.
Abraham lawyer Daniel Bagd watched the exchange and said Winfrey "kind of mediated the apology".
Winfreys Harpo Produktion Co. said Bagdade revoked Abraham's consent to appear on Winfreys show.
"It was very riveting. Nate's story was not on camera today. We ended up doing the apology in
Abraham was 13 when an Oakland County jury convicted him of second-degree murder. He finished serving his juvenile sentence Jan. 18.
Oprah's office. It was incredible.
It was absolutely incredible," Bagdale told The Detroit News.

》 OUR VIEW
Executive branch takes power too far
With the most recent clash between Congress and the Bush administration, this time over the military escalation in Iraq, the suddenly warring branches may be headed for a titanic clash. The six-year consolidation of powers by the administration could be reaching a watershed moment, and the result could set constitutional parameters for generations to come.
The administration has never been known for its warm embrace of restrictions on power, and has at times taken an almost Manichean view of its rival branch. Under President Bush's authority, the executive has resorted to legally questionable signing statements, bypassing relevant wiretap courts, and increased sway at federal agencies to reduce or even negate Congressional influence. But the showdown about the authority to control wartime decisions is an especially significant subject of dispute.
The Constitution makes it quite clear that the president is the "commander in chief" of the armed forces, a fact not lost on Vice President Dick Cheney, who recently asserted that the escalation would proceed regardless of Congressional opinion. His comments came in the face of increasingly bipartisan opposition to the move and in the wake of exploration by Congress of its own options for stopping the action.
But what Cheney et al are forgetting, or perhaps ignoring, is that Congress is not irrelevant in military
matters. The Constitution expressly gives them the power to declare war and to "raise and support armies," powers that would seem to imply a level of involvement beyond the scope defined by the White House. Some in Congress have voiced support for spending and personnel caps in Iraq. But Cheney's comments seem to indicate a contemptuous disregard for any action from the Capitol, especially in light of the continual expansion of the "commander in chief" moniker. The designation has evolved culturally to connote the near-infallibility of the nation's leader, creating a panel presidency.
After throwing off the reins of a repressive monarchy, America's founders created a heretofore unseen system of checks and balances; three branches, nearly equal in power, each with the ability to curb the others' actions. For too many years, the executive branch has amassed greater powers and relegated the legislative and judicial branches to symbolic obscurity, a development that threatens the basic structure of what many worldwide consider to be the ne plus ultra of governmental systems. The Bush administration must drop its wholly indignant view of all things legislative, and must allow greater Congressional input.

Kansas should require HPV vaccine
Female students in Kansas may have another shot to take; a vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV) called Gardasil. The Kansas House of Representatives recently presented a bill that would require all females to be vaccinated against HPV before age 9 if they attended a Kansas public school. Licensed in June 2006 by the FDA, Gardasil protects females from four strands of HPV; strands six, 11, 16 and 18. Strands 16 and 18 cause 70 percent of all cervical cancer; six and 11 cause 90 percent of genital warts.

Gardasil could be a miracle tool to decrease the risk of cervical cancer. But not everyone feels this way.
HPV is sexually transmitted, spread by genital or skin-to-skin contact. Many parents are opposed to a vaccine requirement in schools because they believe it will encourage promiscuity. However, as with many vaccination requirements, parents are allowed to prevent their children from receiving the vaccine. Other complaints about the vaccine have to do with cost. The round of

three shots throughout six months is $360, a price some parents can't afford.
The cost for a woman to be vaccinated is high, but the risk a woman has of getting cervical cancer is high too. According to the FDA, cervical cancer kills 3,700 women in the United States each year. Scientists have found a way to lower that number, and that is extraordinary.
Sure, parents don't want to worry about their children having sex before marriage. They don't want to worry about vaccinating them for STDs. But children might have sex, so it's important to protect them.
The FDA recommends that all females age 11 to 26 be vaccinated
against HPV. The vaccine is more effective if administered before a female become sexually active, so 9 is a fine age.
It's still an age when any mention of the word "sex" results in hand-covered giggles. The mandatory vaccination is a way to protect females throughout the entire state. Also, the requirement could decrease the cost
It has yet to be approved by the FDA, but men could be vaccinated at some point too. They contribute to spreading the virus, as the FDA Web site says that "both men and women may get [HPV] and pass it on." Not enough tests have been done on males to approve a vaccine for them, but I hope it comes around soon. Such a measure could eliminate HPV entirely. In the meantime, Kansas has one vaccine it can use to fight cervical cancer. Kansas has the chance to erase women's fear of dying from this disease. Kansas, let's take it.

KANSAN COLUMNIST OPINION@KANSAN.COM
I've used MySpace for a few years, and I've never been raped, sexually harassed or stalked. Apparently, I'm an anomaly.
News exposes make it seem like MySpace and Facebook are riddled with 40-year-old pedophiles pretending to be 13-year-old boys to snare unsuspecting young girls. I can't count the times I've seen a news segment with a police officer messaging a teen girl, pretending to be a pedophile. These shows make the Internet seem like a playground for predators. They try to shock parents into forbidding children to instant message or use online communities.
Sure, online predators exist. A Department of justice survey found that one in five children had been sexually harassed online. But approximately half were by other teens. And only 3 percent had been "aggressively harassed," meaning the predator made an attempt to meet.
MySpace and Facebook offer safety precautions. You can allow only your friends to view your profile. Facebook allows you to make aspects of your profile, like photos, visible only to the friends you choose. Each Myspace blog can have its own privacy setting. Parents can help teens be cyber-responsible by showing them the privacy features or talking about predator warning signs instead of forbidding the Internet altogether
After I got malicious messages from someone I had never met, I made my MySpace profile private and took off some personal information. I haven't had a problem since. The privacy features work, as long as you use caution when accepting friend requests.
Parents shouldn't feel intimidated by online communities or instant messaging. By spending time on a Web site like MySpace themselves, they will be more educated and feel more comfortable about letting their children use those sites. As long as they have taught their children to be cautious, parents should feel safe letting children use the Internet.

Health resolutions necessitate review of 'rec-tiquette'
One of the most popular New Year's resolutions is to stop procrastinating...but we'll work on that later. Another top resolution is to lose weight or work out more.

Tortilla prices cause protests
BY IOAN GRILLO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Some 75,000 unionists, farmers and leftists marched to protest price increases in basic foodstuffs like tortillas, a direct challenge to the new president's market-oriented economic policies blamed by some for widening the gulf between rich and poor.
Since taking office Dec. 1 after a disputed election, President Felipe Calderon has drawn his greatest criticism for failing to control the largest price spike in tortillas in decades.
Tortillas are a staple of poor Mexicans diet.

The national uproar has put
A free market advocate, Calderon has said he does not want to return to direct price controls enforced by many former Mexican presidents.
During Wednesday's march, protesters carried one banner that read "Calderon stole the elections, and now he's stealing the tortillas!"
Others waved handfuls of the flat corn disks and chanted "Tortillas si, Pan no!" a play on the initial of
Calderon's National Action Party, the PAN, which also means "bread" in Spanish.
In a press statement, Calderonis office said the president shares the protesters' concerns and pledged to "continue taking all necessary actions to maintain price stability for basic goods and services. (and) punish all types of hoarding and speculation in the markets."
But it was also a setback for his archivral, leftist leader Andres Manuel Lopez Obrado, who protest organizers prevented from speaking at the demonstration in Mexico City's Zocalo plaza.
He held his own rally afterward, and most of the crowd stayed to hear him.

Big men expect physical contest
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
College GameDay started as a football show, so the ESPN anchors should feel right at home this weekend.
The layhawk take on the 'texas A&M Aggies on Saturday, and the only thing missing from what would be a physical battle are the pads and helmets.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Junior center Sasha Kaun and the men's basketball team will face their greatest challenge in the paint this season against Texas A&M on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. from Allen Fieldhouse.
"There's going to be some bodies banging around," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "We're not going to shy away from that."
The two best teams in the Big 12 Conference have bumped and elbowed their way to the top, and against each other they'll finally get the chance to pick on somebody their own size.
Joseph Jones and Antanas Kavahauksas will start at the two forward positions for the Aggies. Jones is a 6-foot-9 junior, and Kavahauksas is a 6-foot-10 senior. That puts them toe-to-toe with 6-foot-8 Jayhawk forward Julian Wright and 6-foot-11 center Sasha Kaun.
Self called out the Kansas big men last week after a 97-74 victory against Colorado. The Jayhawks were out-rebounded by the Buffaloes, which Self attributed to the forwards as "playing soft." They bounced back with an impressive victory against Nebraska on Monday, but that game might not have been a true test because Nebraska had just one forward in its lineup a majority of the time.
"This will be a much bigger test for our guys and their toughness level," Self said. "We've shown we can do it, so I think we'll rise to the occasion."
Where the players stand will dictate which team is wins the battle. Wright plays more like a forward/guard, and is even allowed to take three point shots. Forward Darrell Arthur plays with a similar shooting style. The two are also about 25 pounds lighter than the Aggie forwards, which will make it harder for them to use their bodies to establish position for rebounds.

"My girlfriend wanted me to go home with her on Friday night, but I said I couldn't do that — it's gameday," Demo said.
With ESPN's College GameDay in town, the two plan to set multiple alarms to make sure they don't sleep in Saturday morning as the sixth-ranked Jayhawks take on the tenth-ranked Texas A&M Aggies. Doors open at 8 a.m. Saturday for fans hoping to take part in the morning segment of the production.

DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM
Allen Fieldhouse is the sole reason I became a layhawk and it has not disappointed me, with some unbelievable games played there in the past four years. I have compiled my five most memorable games in the Fieldhouse. With Saturday's showdown against Texas A&M, this list may certainly change. For now, the top five:
1. Kansas defeated Oklahoma State, 81-79, on Feb. 27, 2005. Wayne Simien was automatic in this game, leading KU with 32 points. Every time he got the ball in the low post, the shot went in for an easy two. John Lucas and Joey Graham led the Cowboys in this back-and-forth battle with several lead changes. This game was easily the best game I have seen in the Fieldhouse, as it secured KU as the team in the Big 12.
2. Kansas squeezed by Georgia Tech, 70-68, in a New Year's Day overtime game in 2005. Talk about a payback game. The Yellow jackets had knocked the Jayhawks out of the NCAA Tournament in the Elite Eight the previous season, and it was obvious the team and fans had this game circled on the schedule. Even though students reeked of booze from the night before, they came out in full force. Keith Langford showed his big play ability by draining a fade away jumper in the lane. I remember the mosh pit like reaction from the student section after the ball went through the net. It's hard to beat a moment like that.

In each of their last two games, the Jayhawks have scored more points than their average during Big 12
play. For the first time in her college career, McIntosh is becoming a weapon. She just finished two career high 16 point games.
"I've been talking to her about having more confidence." Henrickson said. "Her teammates obviously have confidence in her because they throw it to her in the lane."
Part of the reason for her recent success is senior guard Shaquina Mosley. Opponents are doing all they can to stop Mosley, yet she is still averaging 18 points in the last three games. "Shaq" also has no problem dishing it off to McIntosh.

what others are Saying Collected by Ryan Schneider
Regional and national media's take on Kansas athletics
"Some South coaches attribute the drought to the fact their players travel there only every other year because of the Big 12 format. Others credit the fans, who pack the 16,300-seat arena and make it hard on visiting teams.
"But eventually it comes back to the enormously talented teams the lajhayas make a habit of fielding each year. This year's team stacked with stars Julian Wright and Brandon Rush, is no different.
"I like I always say, the toughest thing on the road is the team that awaits you, and they always have a great team," said AAM coach Billy Glispie, whose team nearly ended its 17 game conference losing streak before the Jayhawks prevailed 65-60 at Allen Fieldhouse two years ago.
"As good as their home court is, if they didn't always have a great team, then they would have a hard time just like anyone else. They have a great team every single year, and they have for about 100 years. It's no different this year."
— Houston Chronicle reporter Terrance Harris,
Feb. 1.
"Kansas is the class of the conference. Only North Carolina can match the Jayhawks' murders' row of raw talent. Kansas' top five scorers — Brandon Rush, Mario Chalimers, Italian Wright, Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins — were all top-tier recruits who could have had their pick of just about any destination they wanted coming into college.
"But critics contend that the Jayhawk quintet arrived too recently in Lawrence to be contenders for the national championship. Sure, Kansas boasts a 19-3 record, the nation's No. 6 ranking, and a spot atop the Big 12 standings. But the Jayhawks have struggled at times, losing to a talented, but hardly dominant, mid-major. Oral Roberts, and a Jekyll-and-Hyde DePaul team. With games under way, the Jayhawks have a tendency to drift during stretches, letting down against lesser opponents. They're also largely untested in the conference, having gone 1-1 against two of the five other Big 12 teams above .500 in league play."
"Don't mention the 'K' word around A&M's men's basketball coach Billy Gillispie in the next few days.
"The Aggies will be at Kansas on Saturday for ESPN College GameDay and a Top 10 match-up, but first A&M has to play Iowa State on Wednesday."
New York Sun reporter Jonah Kerri, Feb. 1
Gillaspie did touch briefly on the layhawks, but quickly changed subjects.
"We've got a long ways to go before we get to Saturday, Gillspie said during his Monday press conference.
"Our focus is all on Iowa State," he said. 'If we are going to talk about Saturday and all that kind of stuff, we're gonna be in big trouble, because we're facing a really good opponent on our home court.'

"It there was any consolation — and that's usually all that opponents can take away from their visits to Allen Fieldhouse — Colorado's fuzzy cheeked freshmen showed more heart against eighth-ranked Kansas on Saturday than did the seniors who came in here last year.
"The scoreboard, which flashed a 97-74 Jayhawks victory as the final horn sounded, didn't reflect the grit and effort of a Colorado squad with nine new players, including a sophomore transfer, that had never experienced the craziness that makes this one of college basketball's most daunting shrines.
"Nor did the final score reveal a second half spurt by the Buffaloes that caused the sellout crowd of 16,300 to squirm in their seats. After trailing 47-34 at halftime, Colorado (5-12, 1-6 Big 12) cut the deficit to nine points on three occasions.
"In last season's visit, a senior-dominated Buffs队 missed 22 of its first 23 shots and never Kansas sweat. Kansas' 75-54 victory was not as close as the final score suggested. This time, the action on the court was more competitive."
Denver Post reporter Tom Kensler, Jan. 28

Putting problems baffle PGA champ Clubs fly as Woods struggles at Dubai
BY JIM KRANE ASSOCIATED PRESS
— The clicking cameras didn't help, nor did the poor putting. All of which left Tiger Woods as frustrated as any weekend hacker.
DUBAL United Arab Emirates
For someone who has been playing nothing but sterling golf of late, Woods tossed his club after a batched putt. Thursday during the opening round of the Dubai Desert Classic.
Woods' problems started on the second hole, where he drove into a row of trees before settling for a bogey. He reclaimed the lost stroke on the par-5 third hole, but he soon encountered another problem on the eighth.
He was three strokes behind leaders Ross Fisher and Graeme McDowell. Ernie Els was another stroke back at 66 in a tie for third with Jose Manuel Lara and Jyoti Randhlawa at the Emirates Golf Club.
"Last week I putted great and today I didn't put so good." Woods, the defending champion, said after his 4 under-par 68.
"Nice going guys, thanks," he said sarcastically.
While he was swinging, a group of photographers were snapping pictures, causing Woods to send the ball into the long grass on the edge of the fartway.
On the 12th, Woods missed a short putt and took another bogey. He responded by tossing his club to the ground.
"I left a lot of opportunities out there," Woods said. "I didn't put well, I didn't put the ball on line with my putts. It was frustrating because the greens are really nice out there. I just have to get some work in here."
Woods' playing partner, Miguel Angel Jimenez, stayed ahead of the world's top-ranked golfer for the entire round. Jimenez finished with a 67, including a 40-foot birdie putt on the 10th.
"I did good." Jimenez said, nodding at Woods. "He tough to beat."
Fisher, however, was the surprise leader in a field that also includes Henrik Stenson (68), Paul Casey (70) and Sergio Garcia (73).
"Obviously it's a tremendous thrill" the Englishman said. "I along with Ernie Els am trying to get to where he (Woods) is, but it's proving very, very difficult."
"It was a nice start," said Els, a three-time Dubai champion. "To be 6 under after the first round, you always take that."
"Work. Bust my butt. That's how you do it," he said. "I just need to do a little work here around the greens and get my stroke organized."
Woods's presence lured throngs of fans. Among them were five Muslim girls in black headscarves who waved at him and called in unison, "Go, Tiger!" Woods responded with a wave of his own.
Els, first playing on the back nine, also started par-bogey on his first two holes. But the South African followed with an eagle and three straight birdies to climb near the top of the leaderboard.
Woods, who denied having jet lag, knows what he needs to do in the next three rounds.
Woods flew halfway around the world after cruising to win the Buick Invitational on Sunday for his seventh straight victory on the PGA Tour. The Dubai tournament won't affect the streak because it's a PGA European tour event.
NHL
Still, Woods started the back nine with a pair of birdies to keep himself in contention.

in a series of negotiating sessions with the team soon.
"This is something that, when we get the opportunity to speak once again, could happen at any time," Ravenstahl said.
Considerable work needs to be done before an agreement is completed to build the new $290 million arena to replace 45-year-old Mellon Arena, the mayor said.
The Penguins have declined to comment on the negotiations, which appeared to hit a snag Jan. 18 when they walked out of a negotiating session that included Rendell, Onorato and Ravenshaft.
However, no team officials are known to have made a return trip to Kansas City, Mo., where Penguins chairman Mario Lemieux, co-owner Ron Burkle and team president Ken Sawyer visited last month before the Pittsburgh negotiations.
The team was unhappy about being asked to share parking and Mellon Arena site redevelopment revenue.

Other than meeting requirements for the NCAA meet, coach Stanley Redwine thinks that it's important to get a consistent performance from his entire team, and not just those who have already proven themselves this year.
The meet will wrap up Saturday night with the men's and women's 4x400-meter relays.
Redwine also mentioned that, at this point of the season, the effort shown is almost, if not more, important than the immediate results.

High school game goes too far
BY COLIN FLY ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILWAUKEE — Parents or guardians of players will be the only fans allowed to watch two high school teams play after a melee led to six injuries and 10 arrests.
Bradley Tech's boys team defeated Bay View High School 82-81 in an emotionally charged overtime upset Tuesday night.
Tech students rushed their court in celebration, but it soon turned rowdy, with several fights breaking out on the gym's floor and one woman jumping on the back of a police officer.
Four police officers and a 15-year-old student were injured as was an 18-year-old student who apparently suffered a seizure and could not be reached by officers trying to assist her, police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said.
Officers were forced Tuesday night to send out a rare citywide call for support, drawing dozens of squads to Bradley Tech. Even after police cleared the school, fans continued to yell at each other in the street.
None of the injuries was considered life threatening, but two officers suffered broken bones. The arrests were mostly for disorderly conduct, except for one count of battery to a police officer.
Milwaukee Public Schools spokeswoman Roseann St. Aubin said that the situation was a "mess" and that students involved in the fight face suspension or expulsion. Administrators from both high schools declined to comment.
The ticket limit announced Wednesday applies just to Bradley Tech and Bay View junior varsity and varsity boys and girls teams, meaning that their opponents may
have as many fans as current school safety procedures allow
But Bradley Tech and Bay View students and fans will not be allowed to attend. That's unfortunate, St. Aubin said.
"Any time you ban attendance at games, you worry about an outfalling from that," St. Aubin said. "To those people who are prohibited from coming in, you cut them off from a wonderful, for the most part very safe and enjoyable, activity that's happening on a weeknight."
St. Aubin didn't say how long the ticket limit will last, but Mayor Tom Barrett said he hopes it's at least for the rest of the season.
"We simply will not tolerate any level of violence at our sporting events," Barrett said. "We're not going to put students in harm's way. We're not going to put police officers in harm's way."

"We've been coming so close in the Big 12." McIntosh said. "It's hard but we have to work for that extra point."

"Our first half has always been great," freshman forward Danielle McCray said. "We just need to find a way to close that door instead of opening it back up."
Coming off of the bench, McCray has been the most impressive of the seven freshmen since Big 12 play began. She is averaging 10 points and four rebounds a game in conference play.

McCray and the rest of the Jayhawks haven't faced a defense at Texas A&M's caliber, though. The Aggies lead the Big 12 at 12
Even with McIntosh playing well and Mosley routinely taking over games, Texas A&M possesses a superior offense. Aggies' starting guards Takia Starks and All-American candidate Morenike Atunrase are combining for nearly 27 points per game. The Aggies are currently ranked 18th in the nation and second in the Big 12 at 6-2. To have a chance to win, Kansas will have to play a complete

Offense:
KANSAS VS. TEXAS A&M 6 P.M.SATURDAY,COLLEGE STATION,TEXAS
Texas A&M is not an impressive offensive team in any sense of the word. The Aggies are shooting only 42 percent this season and have only topped 70 points once in conference play. However, A&M's offense is adequate, which is more than can be said for Kansas. It seems whenever Kansas improves one facet of their offensive game, they falter in another. Though the Jayhawks have improved their shooting in recent games, they have become increasingly prone to mental mistakes and turnovers. Shaquina Mosley's stat line from Wednesday's game is a microcosm of Kansas' struggles. The senior guard scored 18 points, distributed 11 assists and grabbed nine rebounds, but turned the ball over a staggering nine times. If Kansas cannot take care of the ball, the Texas A&M offense may not need to be any better than average.
Advantage - ATM
S
Texas A&M truly shines on the defensive end. The Aggies have allowed the fewest points per game in the Big 12 because of several dynamic players. Forward Danielle Gant is a standout defender who plays bigger than her 5-foot-11 frame, pulling down seven rebounds per game. Versatile junior forward Morenike Atunrase has battled through a foot injury to lead the team with 21 blocks. The Aggies lead the Big 12 Conference in steals thanks in part to the quick hands of 5-foot-3 A'Quonesia Franklin. The sprightly guard has 36 steals this season. Overall, Kansas has been sturdy on defense. But the Jayhawks possess a definite Achilles heel: a lack of athleticism down low. Texas Tech's Alesha Robertson was the most recent beneficiary of Kansas' poor post defense, scoring 20 points earlier this week. The Aggies will look to add to the ever-growing list of players who have enjoyed success against the Jayhawks.
Defense:
Advantage - ATM
The Aggies enter Saturdays matchup winners in six of their last seven games. The Jayhawks have dropped four straight and 14 of their last 16 decisions. The two squads are clearly headed in different directions. Texas A&M has spent the season slowly climbing the Big 12 standings and the national rankings. They currently stand in a tie for 2nd place in the conference and were voted 18th in the most recent AP poll. Kansas has followed a successful early season run with a disappointing 0-8 trip through conference play thus far. While the Jayhawks have come close to victory on multiple occasions, they have always managed to find a way to lose. Though it appears Kansas could win a game any day now, Texas A&M is one of the hottest teams in the nation and holds a distinct edge in the momentum department.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
On the flip side, Texas A&M players will want to keep the game under the basket. The Aggies are out-rebounding opponents by almost six boards a game, largely because of the efforts of Jones and Kavaliauskas.
When those two get rebounds, opponents are denied second chances or easy tip-in points, which helps keep scoring low. The Aggies have allowed opponents to shoot just 35 percent this season.
"They're leading the country in field goal percentage by a pretty
large margin" Self said. "They've done a real good job making it hard for people to score."
No matter how ugly it gets inside, Kansas's and Texas A&M's focus is unlikely to be rebounding. Aggie guard Acie Law and Jayhawk guard Brandon Rush were both named to the Wooden Award Midseason All-American team earlier this week. They are among the best in the country, and will look to dazzle on the national stage Saturday.
Jones and Kavaliauskas will try to occupy an area that's not big enough for all four of them.
Dominating the glass could be enough to tip the scales in favor of one of the teams. And if the jayhawk forwards need additional help with that, football coach Mark Mangino is free this time of year.

basketball," he said, referring to the Scottish town known as "the home of golf" and a frequent host of golf's oldest major tournament.
"There's nowhere better," Bilas said. "It's where basketball was born."
So far, Bilas said fans at Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh have impressed him the most this year.
"They just had fun, and we got wrapped up in that," he said of the student section at the Peterson Events Center in Pittsburgh. GameDay covered their match-up against Georgetown on Jan. 13.
If past results are any indication, Kansas should be ready to go this Saturday. So far this season, the
Jayhawks are 2-0 against Top 10 teams, pulling out a victory against Florida in Las Vegas and blowing out Oklahoma State at home.
"We're just looking at it like it's another game, but we're probably going to come out more enthusiastic and eager to play," freshman guard Sherron Collins said.
Self seemed wary of letting the hype get too big.
"I don't want them spending all their energy" he said of the players. "It's not the Super Bowl, but it is a very important game."
This is GameDay's second trip to Allen Fieldhouse and doesn't figure to be their last.
"They haven't talked about the
future, but I think they will certainly come back," Marchiony said.
He said ESPN informed the Athletics Department over the summer of their plans for the game.
The national spotlight will be on the Jawahshaws this Saturday, but Bilas said a few Kansas players caught his eye already this season.
"Sharron Collins is tremendous," he said, "and Brandon Rush, obviously, is one of the best players in the country."

is a sentimental game, as it was my first "real" experience of Allen Fieldhouse as a student. Sure, there was one regular season game earlier that season, but this was against one of the best teams in the country. It showed me the full game day experience — from camping to throwing newspaper to heckling opposing teams. It was a good win, too, as the Spartans' highly touted Paul Davis was held to just 12 points.
4. Last season, Kansas beat Oklahoma, 59-58. This was the most impressive comeback in recent memory. The lajahaws trailed by 16 in the second half, but came back to win on a Mario Chalmers
jumper. The atmosphere was great and I actually had a good seat in the student section. This was the best game in the Fieldhouse last season. Plus, KU alumnus Kevin Harlan called the game for CBS.
5. Kansas edged by Nebraska, 59-57, on Jan. 18, 2005. This game cracks the top five simply because I was born in Nebraska. It was a good game, one that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the last second. Husker guard Joe McCray had an open three-point attempt that rattled in and out of the basket in the final seconds of the game.

Kentucky, 2005-06; and Kansas vs.

I predict Saturday's game will sneak its way into this group. The contest will showcase some of the best players in the Big 12, KU's Brandon Rush and Julian Wright and Texas A&M's Joseph Jones and Acie Law. While I expect a grind-it-out game that will come down to the wire, the Jayhawks should win on their home court.

Preseason predictions Fresh faces prepare Big 12 Conference for the unknown
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Editors Note: Below are Big 12 baseball reporter Shawn Shroyer's selection for Big 12 preseason awards.
The first pitch of the Kansas baseball season was thrown last night, but it's still the preseason for the rest of the Big 12 Conference.
The conference lost a lot of star power from last season. As a result, plenty of schools will be vying for the Big 12 supremacy. Along with the possibility of new schools sitting atop the conference, there will be some fresh faces taking home post-season awards.
2. Nebraska — With a one-two punch for the weekend rotation in pitchers Johnny Dorn and Tony Watson and mainstay infielder Ryan Wehle still around, the Cornhuskers' foundation is in place.
3. Texas — Drew Stubbs, Carson Kainer and Kyle McCulloch have moved on, but the Longhorns will inevitably find the new weapons to replace them.
5. Kansas — The Jayhawks have the potential to run up the score on opponents, but that will depend heavily on their young pitching staff.
4. Baylor — The Bears are young this season, but after two straight impressive recruiting classes, they're not wanting for talent.
1. Oklahoma State - Add two preseason All-American infielders to a pitching staff with proven experience and talented youth and the Cowboys could run away with the conference.
6. Oklahoma — The Sooners' top four hitters and weekend starters from 2006 are gone and their returning hitter, Aaron Reza, is out four to six weeks with a broken hand, but coach Sunny Golloway proved last year he can get the most out of what he has.
7. Texas Tech — Very little was lost from Last year's team, but Matt Smith and Roger Kieschnick can't do it all.
8. Texas A&M — The pitching
staff should be solid, but the offenses could be atrocious.
9. Missouri — Losing Max Scherzer and Nathan Culp decimated the Tigers' pitching staff.
10. Kansas State — The Wildcats are third on the totem poll in Kansas and they'll be in the Big 12 cellar.
Who will make the field of 64?
Oklahoma State, Nebraska and Texas are locks. The only question is whether they will hold Regionals at home. Baylor is also a safe bet to make the tournament, but probably not hold a Regional. Kansas and Oklahoma lost a bevy of key players from last season, but if they can manage 40 win seasons with the schedules they have to navigate, there no way they'll be denied tournament bids.
Texas Tech is my sleeper pick to make the tournament, but Texas A&M, Missouri and Kansas State will basically be playing the spoiler role come March.

Manning creates magic at line
MIAMI — He points, he pivots, he harks out more orders than a coffee shop waiter at lunchtime.
When Peyton Manning is running the show for the Indianapolis Colts, it's difficult to decipher if he is performing magic or just blowing smoke.
"That would be impossible to answer without giving away secrets," Manning said with a smile.
When Manning brings his offense to the line against the Chicago Bears in Sunday's Super Bowl, at times he will resemble a maestro conducting a finely tuned orchestra. Other times, he'll look like a disoriented traveler seeking directions.
"To me, our offense, like any offense, is about execution," said the NFL's leading passer. "We do call certain plays at the line of scrimmage, that's no secret there."
No other quarterback performs all those machinations. Few — Brett Favre, Tom Brady on occasion — call or change plays at the line as much as Manning.
In offensive coordinator Tom Moore's system, which Manning has played under since he was the No. 1 overall draft choice in 1998, most of the decision-making is left in the quarterback's hands.
"I think you have to be confident in your offense. That's part of playing in the NFL, and the reason you have confidence is because of how hard you worked and how hard you
"They're successful, so I don't know how you can say it's annoying when all they do is move the ball on pretty much everybody," said Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher. "If we stop them it will be really fun."
"I'm not going to try and change our defenses for what he does, because I don't know what they're doing, number one. He may not be changing the play at all, so we're just going to line up, read our keys and try and play fast," he said.
prepared. I've used this quote before, but my dad gave it to me when I was a kid. It was by Chuck Noll, which said, 'Pressure is something that you feel only when you don't know what you are doing.' "Manning said.
But don't watch the hands if you're playing defense against him.

Churches use Super Bowl Sunday to reach new people
BY MATT SEDENSKY ASSOCIATED PRESS
feel more at home.
MIAMI — Football's faithful will file into house parties, bars and, of course, Dolphin Stadium on Super Bowl Sunday to observe their holiest of holy days. But they also turn out in force at churches across the country, which are tapping the popularity of sports in hopes of saving souls.
Organizers of church-sponsored Super Bowl gatherings see the events as a departure from the formality of organized religion — the type of events that could make someone who doesn't typically attend services
"It's a way of reaching out into our community in a very informal, low-key way where we show people were regular Joes like they are without the pressure of church," said Pastor Luis Acosta of Pines Baptist Church, a Southern Baptist congregation north of Miami in Pembroke Pines.
Pines Baptist has been holding Super Bowl events for a few years and expects about 300 people, mostly men, at its flag football game and watch party this year. The church drew about 250 people to a block party Jan. 13, which featured NFL-themed games, former Dolphins
players signing autographs and giveaways including a plasma television
Acosta said the church doesn't take a heavy-handed approach to nonbelievers who join in such events. There won't be so much as a prayer at the Super Bowl Sunday event. If a guest enjoys himself, a member might invite him to a church social group meeting, then maybe a Bible study, then perhaps an actual service.
"We just follow God's lead." Acosta said.
Pastor Mike Pierce of the non-denominational Poplar Creek Church in the Chicago suburb of Bartlett,
Ill., takes a similar approach. About 100 people will watch the game on the big screen in the sanctuary. Like other church events — including a carnival, a play and a pig roast — it's meant to simply create a friendly, fun environment, but not an overtly religious one.
"We don't turn everything into a spiritual event," Pierce said. "Good, clean fun is still spiritual."
Many pastors agree, simply trying to make their churches welcoming environments for new guests. Carrollwood Baptist Church in Tampa has been holding a Super Bowl gathering for more than 15
years and attendees have become so comfortable at the event that some bring recliners from home.
"I like it because it's very laud back," said Robert Smith, a 32-year-old Rockford, Ill., resident who has attended Super Bowl parties at Dominion Christian Center. "There's no pressure."
Churches also are aware many people are unwilling to do anything other than watch the game on Super Bowl Sunday.
"We can offer a good event surrounding something the culture uses or we can just hold church and no one's going to come," said Jim Waters.
an associate pastor and minister to students at First Baptist Church in Milton, Fla.
Like many other churches holding Super Bowl events, the Milton congregation will screen "Power to Win". a video featuring Christian NFL stars, during halftime.
Some churches are using the Super Bowl as an opportunity to reach the poor.
A number of Nashville churches will host the homeless, feeding them, washing their clothes, letting them watch the game on big-screen TVs and giving them a bed to sleep in on Super Bowl Sunday.

GAME DAY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
FRIDAY: FEBRUARY 2. 2007
KU
TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE
The winner will be in the driver's seat in the Big 12 Conference. That's not to say it's a sure thing, because both schools still have to play Texas, and Texas Tech could also make a late run, but Saturday's winner will be one step closer to the conference title and a top seed in the NCAA tournament.
STAR WATCH
Junior guard Russell Robinson. He's seen big games before so the atmosphere Saturday isn't going to rattle him. What may be the defense of Agie guard
Debwong
Acle Law, IV, who is one of the best players in the country. Robinson will have to raise his game accordingly.
QUESTION MARK
WILL THE FRESHMEN COME OUT JITTERY?
It's what happened last year when GameDay visited Austin and the young Jayhawks were beaten by the Longhorns, Freshman forward Darrell Arthur and guard Sherron Collins have shown lots of poise already at Kansas - this is just another opportunity for them to prove they are among the best newcomers in the country.
3 REASONS KU WINS
ONE — Five days of preparation. After playing on Big Monday earlier this week, the Jayhawks got an extra two days of practice time for this one. The players should be fresh and prepared for whatever Texas A&M is going to throw at them.
TWO — They're a big game team. Tired of hearing that? Coach Bill Self is, But there is some truth behind the label. The Jayhawks smoked Oklahoma State and Boston College, and defeated Florida in overtime. Saturday is a big game, and the Jayhawks will be ready.
THREE — You, the fan When Georgia Tech jumped out to a huge lead in 2005, the crowd didn't quiet down, and Kansas pulled off a comeback victory in overtime. Allen Fieldhouse should be the loudest it has been all year on Saturday, and that's because of you.
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
TITLE DECIDER? Winner takes upper hand in Big 12 race KANSAS VS. TEXAS A&M 8 p.m. Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse, ESPN
Kansas 19-3,6-1 Big 12
OFFENSE
After nearly putting up 100 points against Colorado, it would appear that Kansas has regained its shooting touch. That's good news for sophomore guard Brandon Rush and sophomore forward Julian Wright. They'll have to connect from longer distances to draw the Aggie big men away from the basket, which will give junior center Sasha Kaun a rebounding advantage.
Texas A&M will bring the best defense Kansas has faced this year, so it's not unthinkable that the Jayhawks will be held under 65 points - and still win the game.
KU KU KU
The Jayhawk defense has earned the top mark in every conference game this season, and this one is no different. Everybody has bought into coach Bill Self's defensive philosophy, which involves intercepting passes and applying pressure around the basket. Critics say the Jayhawks should press more, but opening the door for transition points isn't their style. When they do turn up the pressure, watch for sophomore guard Mario Chalmers - his quick hands often create a turnover in that situation.
DEFENSE
Texas A&M 18-3,6-1
KU KU KU KU KU
OFFENSE
KU KU KU KU
Acie Law IV, Joseph Jones, Antanas Kavaliauskas and Josh Carter headline a productive A&M offense. Law is an extremely quick guard known for his ability to drive and score with both hands. Jones and Kavaliauskas form an imposing inside duo, each one weighs 250 pounds. They both receive the ball often in the Aggies' high-low offense and will likely be the best inside men Kansas has seen since the Florida game. Carter is an inconsistent but good outside shooter. Even though A&M is best known for its defense, its offense is almost as dangerous.
LANSAS
30
ATMAATMA
DEFENSE
One word that best describes the Aggies is tough. Their coach Billy Gillispie is an intense guy and instills his attitude in all his players. Add that to the blinding quickness provided by Law and the size of Kavaliauskas and Jones, and you get the best defense in the Big 12. A&M holds its opponents to under 55 points per game and its shooting to 35 percent. Those numbers aren't just the best in the Big 12; they're second in the nation in points allowed and first in field goal percentage.
Coming off three blowout victories, the Jayhawks are looking good. But none of those three were against a team nearly as good as the Aggies. Still, Kansas is a "big-game" team, and they don't come much bigger than Saturday. Allen Fieldhouse will be as loud as usual, as will ESPN's Dick Vitale. He'll be yelling "Awesome, baby!" as the Jayhawks win the game and establish themselves as the team to beat in the Big 12 Conference.

MOMENTUM
The Aggies have all the momentum in the world simply because this is their biggest game of the season so far. It doesn't matter that they blew a game against Texas Tech last week. A&M will come into Saturday's game poised and energetic, knowing it has a chance to prove itself as a national title contender on ESPN in one of college basketball's greatest venues. The game, which matches the Big 12's two best defenses, should be hotly contested and close. But by about 10 p.m. Saturday, one of these teams will have taken a huge step in the race for the Big 12 title.

A&M TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
First place in the big 12 Conference. Texas also needs to be included in the battle for conference supremacy, but Kansas and Texas A&M have been regarded as favorites since October. If the Aggies lose this game, they can still win the conference, but a victory would definitely increase their odds.
STAR WATCH
If Kevin Durant didn't reach new levels of brilliance every
game, Acie Law IV would probably win Big 12 Player of the Year. He is a great unselfish point guard in that he looks for his shot only when the
PETER BURKE
Law
team needs him to score. Law is capable of scoring 30 points, like Colorado's Richard Roby, but instead he focuses more on evidence, evidenced by his average of five assists per game.
QUESTION MARK
CAN TEXAS A&M BEAT KANS SAS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN BIG 12 PLAY?
The Aggies have never defeated the Jayhawk in 11 tries. Saturday night will clearly be A&M's best chance to date. A good sign for the Aggies is that they already have ended a similar streak this season; they beat Oklahoma for the first time.
3 REASONS A&M WINS
ONE—Big game experience. In years past A&M's non-conference schedule was stocked with lesser lights such as Mississippi Valley State or Savannah State. This year it has already played UCLA, which was ranked No. 1 at the time, and former top 10 team LSU.
TWO — South Pride — By now, everyone and their mom knows of the south divisions winless record at Allen Fieldhouse. So of course, the Aggies know. They will be even more motivated knowing they have a chance to be the first south team to win in Lawrence.
**THREE** — Billy Gillispie. In only five seasons as a coach, Gillispie has earned a reputation as one of the best in the game. The turnaround he has orchestrated in College Station will become even more remarkable with a victory.

Arthur fared well against big guys before, including Nebraska's Aleks Maric. But Jones is a different kind of big guy. He's not as tall or nimble, but he makes up for it by being able to back down anyone he wants in the paint. Arthur will be put to the test when he has to guard Jones or Antanas Kavaliauskas. Sophomore forward Julian Wright could also go up against the Aggies' beefy inside duo and have a tough time because of his smaller frame.

BASKETBALL TICKETS
Confusion keeps fans outside
BY KYLE CARTER
Ushers kept more than 100 students with tickets waiting outside of Allen Fieldhouse during the basketball game against Texas A&M Saturday night because of confusion about how many seats were available in the student section.
The group waiting outside grew restless as tip-off approached and
began chanting "Let us in" and "We want Lew."
"I think it's bullshit that I show up to the lottery, run a group, camp out and I can't get into the game." Regan said. "I wasn't going to miss this game. It's the biggest home game of the year."
George Regan, Shawnee junior, said other members of his camping group went to the game early and saved a seat for him. He arrived about an hour before the game, but ushers told him the fieldhouse was already at capacity. After a half-hour, hed had enough, and left the line to find a scalper and buy a general admission ticket.
Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said ushers stopped letting students in about an hour before the game because they thought the arena was full.
"There were a bunch of stu
dents that were saving seats and refused to move in," he said. "They said their friends were in the bathroom, but wed come back five minutes later and there was still no one in the seats."
After tracking down a ticket from a scalper for $70, Regan entered the game and sat with his camping group in the first row

The rain during Sunday's game posed a small problem, but whether for the defense or the offense, became topic of debate between friends.

Celebrities attract younger crowd to downtown hotel
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Two personalities from MITV's "The Real World" stopped in Lawrence on Saturday during an 11-state promotional tour of Place Properties, an Atlanta-based real estate company that owns Legends Place apartments in Lawrence.
Randy Barry, who was on "The Real World 14: San Diego" in 2004, and Syrus Yarbrough, who was on the Boston season in 1997, have been doing similar promotional tours for the past few years. The show is in its 18th season.
"Not everyone gets this opportunity" Barry said.
He said he didn't think he had a chance of being on the show, let alone making a career out of promotional appearances.
The day's events included raffle drawings and leasing specials at Legends Place, 4101 W. 24th Place, as well as a party for students at the Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St. Scott Valentine, manager of the Jawhaker Bar in the Eldridge Hotel, said more than 100 people showed up Saturday night to party with the celebrities. Admission was $5.
Nancy Longhurst, general manager of the hotel, said about 60 people — who were usually older — were typically in the bar on any given Saturday night. She said the party attracted a younger demographic to the hotel.
"It's a great way to get KU students in the hotel who have never been here before." Longhurst said.
She said booking celebrities like Barry and Yarbrough cost about $1,000.
Matt McCoy, celebrity booking agent for Special Interest Entertainment, accompanied Barry and Syrus on the tour. He said fan turnout was ample during the first

group. While annual events have been held since 1972, the group was officially founded in 2000 by three graduate students at the University of Kansas.
The group is named in honor of the February Sisters, a group of women who occupied the former East Asian studies building in 1972. The group was successful in its demands for a women's health care program, a women's studies program, affirmative action policies and a child-care program on campus.
The production is Feb. 8 to 10 at 7:30 p.m. at Alderson Auditorium, in the Kansas Union.
Ruskin said the February Sisters Association held events each year to honor the original Sisters' initiatives
to bring attention to gender issues.
The group, consisting of 30 to 35 members, is responsible for organizing the events that are held in February. The group raises approximately $3,000 to be donated to various Lawrence organizations fighting violence against women and girls.
Every year, they put on a production of Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues."
Ruscin said audiences could come at 6:30 p.m. to attend the "V-Day Festival; which gives organizations in Lawrence an opportunity to educate people about local work.
Dylan Scholinski, Washington,
D.C., artist, will give his lecture
"Sent(a)Mental: Get Outta My Head,
I'm Just Queer" at 7:30 tonight at
Alderson Auditorium. Ruscin said
students should get involved if they
were interested in feminist issues,
or if they would like to know more
about organizing the events.
Ruscin said the group had no set meeting schedule, but it often met Thursdays. For more information, contact the February Sisters through the Student Involvement Leadership Center.

odd news Police chief gives himself ticket for passing bus
KEWASKUM, Wis. — Police Chief Richard Knoebel says he wasn't about to take the easy way out when he accidentally drove past a stopped school bus with its emergency lights flashing.
For violating traffic laws, Knoeibel wrote himself a ticket for $235, docked himself four points on his driving record and paid the fine the next day.
He said he was on patrol on four-lane U.S. 45 when he was distracted by a stopped dump truck. He said he didn't realize he had passed the bus until it was too late.
BOARDWALK FIRE Defense team contests as jury process begins
Jury selection will begin Tuesday for the murder trial of Jason Allen Rose.
Rose is accused of setting a fire at Boardwalk Apartments in October 2005 that killed three residents and injured several more. The trial will begin after Rose's attorney attempted to have the charges dropped last week, an effort that Judge Jack A. Murphy denied.
Rose's defense contended that its client suffered from mental abuse that kept Rose from delivering accurate testimony when he originally confessed to setting the fire.
KU senior Nicole Bingham, 21, along with 33-year-old Yolanda Riddle and 50-year-old Jose Gonzalez, died in the fire.

Frog population dwindles Deadly fungus affecting amphibians worldwide
3A
BY NATHAN GILL
In the pristine tropical forest of El Valle, Panama, Joe Mendelson saw dozens of frogs bobbing in streams and lying on the ground — all dead. In death, the frogs looked much as they had in life, untouched by wounds, unmarked by predators.
A pandemic fungus killed them;
Batrachocytium dendrobatidis,
or "chytrid" for short. The fungus
is killing amphibians around the
globe in waves.
"The chytrid arrived and wiped out all the amphibians," said Mendelson, a 1997 University of Kansas graduate and now herpetology curator at Zoo Atlanta. "It was horrible. I've had them die in my hand."
According to a document presented at the 2005 Amphibian Conservation Summit in Washington, D.C., at least 122 amphibian species have gone extinct since 1980. Nearly a third of the world's amphibians, about 1,800, are threatened with extinction.
Many herpetologists suspect chytrid, along with habitat loss, pesticides, climate change and other afflictions, is contributing to a worldwide amphibian die-off.
Mendelson said that he had seen chytrid kill 80 percent of a region's amphibians in a matter of months, and eliminate half its amphibian species. He said the pandemic
- some compare it to amphibian AIDS - runs rampant in California, the Rocky Mountains, Mexico, all of Central America, the Andes mountains and eastern Australia.
The fungus spreads by frog-to-frog contact. Microscopic spores, which Mendelson said resemble tadpoles, lodge in the amphibians'
skin. Also, when a frog enters the water, the spores can pop out, travel downstream and infect another host.
Dave McLeod, a graduate teaching assistant in biology at the University, said symptoms could include lethargy, a generally sick disposition and other odd behaviors.
"In an infected frog, if you flip it over, it's unable to right itself," McLeod said.
McLeod said the killer fungus afflicted cells that produced.
keratin, a protein found in both frog and human skin, and the infection prevented frogs from using their skin to breathe.
"You end up seeing frogs in these mummified states, as they're in the process of dying or have
died, where the skin is completely covered with this fungal infection" McLeod said.
Collins called the bulfrog "the cow of the amphibians." It is commercially farmed for frog legs and shipped around the world. Bulfrog tadpoles also can carry chytrid.
"We'd be stupid if we did not pay very close attention to this. Something really terrifying is happening to the planet."
When the disease got really bad. Mendelson said pieces of skin fell off.
"There are bullfrog tadpoles in every fish shipment in the United States," Collins said.
Kansas farmers could unknowingly introduce the fungus into their own fishing ponds, and just one infected adap池 has the potential to infect the rest of the pond's amphibian population, said Collins.
But Collins said a failure to fund data-collecting research in Kansas doesn't mean chytrid is not here. North American bullrogs are common in Kansas and can carry the disease. Bullrogs, however, remain mysteriously chytrid-resistant.
"Everyone wants answers," Collins said. "We don't have answers; there's not enough money."
JOE MENDELSON
Zoo Atlanta herpetology curator
Mendelson didn't know if chytrid was in Kansas. Nor did Joe Collins, a herpetologist with the Kansas Biological Survey.
McLeod saidthatsince amphibians are extremely sensitive to changes in their environments,
"We may be looking at the disappearance of amphibians," he said.
they make good environmental indicators. As their populations are declining worldwide, he said they could be the planet's "canary in the coal mine."
The chytrid disease in frogs is eerily similar to HIV, Ebola, and other diseases like SARS, diseases that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta classifies as emerging infectious diseases, said Mendelson.
"Wed be stupid if we did not pay very close attention to this," he said. "Something really terrifying is happening to the planet."

OBITUARY

Kyle Almeida never let on when he was having a bad day.
That's what friends and co-workers said was the most memorable thing about him.
"He was outgoing, eassongy, said Max Wes, a Wichita junior and one of Almaude's co-workers. "I've never met anyone like him."
Almeida, a Warrensburg, Mo. senior in architecture, died Tuesday in a one-vehicle rollover accident south of Lawrence. He was 23 years old.
Almeida's vibrant personality led him to success on the soccer field of Warrensburg High School, where he graduated in 2002, and at Baker University, where he played a season of the sport. After transferring to the University of Kansas, Almeida began working at the Jet Lag Lounge and also with KU Recycling, where
he met Weis.
Weis said the two made an instant connection.
"He was just easy to be around, the kind that everyone wants to talk to," Weis said.
While working at KU Recycling together, Weis and Almeida both got puppies and started a friendly rivalry between

Former teacher pleads no contest
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OLATHE — A former teacher will spend two months in jail for having three third-grade girls take nude photos of each other in the school bathroom.
Neal Byron Lemarcis, now a stay-at-nome father, pleaded no contest last year in Johnson County District Court to two counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a child.
Under a plea deal, defense and prosecuting attorneys had recommended that Lenarcic serve 45 days of "shock time" in jail. Instead, Johnson County District Judge James Franklin Davis sentenced Lenarcic on Friday to 60 days of "shock time" in the county jail.
Davis veered from the plea deal after Lenarcie reasserted earlier claims that it was the girls' idea, not
his, to take the pictures. He apologized for not stopping it and reporting them.
"I shouldn't have laughed it off as kids being kids." Lennaric said.
Davis expressed concern about Lenarci's statement, which prompted defense attorney Dionne Scheff to explain that her client's no-contest plea meant only that he agreed there was enough evidence to convict him.
"I don't think leniency is appropriate," Davis said in ordering the longer sentence.
Lenarcic, who now lives in Washington state, will be on probation for 60 months after he finishes his jail sentence. Conditions of his probation include 300 hours of community service, no teaching or working with children, and no unsupervised contact with anyone
under 18, except for his 7-month-old son.
If he violates probation, he faces 26 months in prison.
The allegations date to the spring of 2002 when Lenaric taught at Harmony Elementary School in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park.
Two girls, third graders at the time, testified in June 2005 that they took pictures of each other and a third girl inside a school bathroom, using a digital camera. One girl said Lenarcic asked them to take the pictures of their private areas.
The girls testified that Lenarice rewarded them with "tickets", which students could use to buy such things as candy and school supplies.
When the allegations came to light in 2004, Lenarcic was living in suburban St. Louis.

TOPEKA — Legislators appear unlikely to block a western Kansas utility's proposal to build three large, coal-fired plants for generating electricity, despite other states opposition and environmentalists' concerns about global warming.
Sunflower Electric Cooperative's coal-fired power plant churns out electricity Friday in Kolcumb. Plans are in the works for the cooperative and several partners to build three more units at the site, increasing energy output at the complex more than seven fold. A bill in the Kansas legislature that would stop the expansion was tabled by the House Energy and Utilities Committee Fidav.
Electric Power Corp. had warned such a delay probably would scuttle its $5 billion-plus project in Finney County, which would increase its generating capacity more than seven times.
A bill imposing a two-year ban on construction of the plants was tabled Friday on a lopsided voice vote by the House Energy and Utilities Committee. Sunflower

Coal plant raises concerns
"It's dead."
"People still need to be questioning whether we want coal-fired plants in Kansas that are going to add to global warming."
said Chairman Carl Dean Holmes (R-Liberal). "The bottom line is, it's not coming back up."
Senators also haven't shown much interest.
TOM THOMPSON
Sierra Club lobbyist
"I seriously doubt that will go very far," said Senate Utilities Committee Chairman Jay Emler (R-Lindsee).
The committee's action was good news for Hays-based Sunflower, which serves about 118,000 customers with a single coal-fired plant near Holcomb. With the backing of local officials, the company has touted the project as economic development and made plans to export much of the new power it would generate to Colorado and other states.
The company has asked the state Department of Health and Environment for a permit declaring the project would meet all applicable standards for controlling air pollution. The department is still
The report, issued in Paris, underscored the biggest criticism environmentalists have about Sunflower's proposal; that it will generate greenhouse gases that will contribute significantly to
global warming. They also worry about the potential for increased mercury pollution as a byproduct of burning coal.
"I think this is a case where the people are ahead of the Legislature," said Rep. Vaughn Flora (D-Torpeka) the bill's sponsor, "I sense out there that people really have a different understanding of global warming and climate change than they did just a year ago."

The attorneys general of California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin wrote in a December letter to Kansas officials that Sunflower's project would undermine their states' efforts to control emissions of greenhouse gases.
reviewing hundreds, of pages of comments about the project.
"The least we would have expected would have been a discussion of the issues," said Tom Thompson, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club's state chapter "People still need to be questioning whether we want coal
fired plants in Kansas that are going to add to global warming and mercury pollution. $ ^{a} $
Sunflower wants to build three, 700-megawatt generating units next to its 360-megawatt unit near Holcomb and hopes to complete the project in 2013. Local officials believe the project could create 2,000 construction jobs and permanently expand the area's economy.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who's leading the Democratic Governors Association this year and has called for a national energy policy, has sent mixed signals about the Sunflower project.
Rep. Tom Sloan (R-Lawrence) said climate change was a global issue and, "It's got to be addressed on a national and international basis."
In December, her staff said she was considering environmentalists request that she impose a ban on coal-fired plants. But during an interview a few days later, she questioned the feasibility of the state imposing such a ban in the absence of federal standards, suggesting it would merely drive projects into other states.
On Friday, her staff declined to comment on the committee's action.
The company also contends that many of the project's critics are overstating the potential environmental effects of the new units. For one thing, Miller said, the technology for controlling emissions has improved significantly.
And lobbyists for other utilities said a moratorium on coal-fired plants is a bad policy with Kansans demands for energy expected to keep increasing.
"The utilities have to make a decision today about meeting firm needs 10 or 20 years out," said Westar Energy's Jim Ludwig. "If you simply shut down the process, there's a serious question as to what sort of generation is going to be put in place."
》 STATE EDUCATION
Mandatory grade may lower
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Educators say kindergarten has become so important to the development of children that it's time for the state to make attendance mandatory.
A bill sponsored by Sen. Laura Kelly (D-Topeka) and Sen. Jean Schodorf (R-Wichita) would do just that.
The mandatory school at tendance in Kansas is seven, and kindergarten is optional. The senators' bill would lower the mandatory age to six and require children to attend at least half day kindergarten.

Kelly said the proposed legislation wouldn't affect that many people — perhaps several hundred, at the most — who would otherwise wait to send their children to school in first grade.
Mark Tallman, assistant executive director for advocacy at the Kansas Association of School Boards, said he was in favor of anything that improved attendance at all levels of education, including kindergarten.
"The problem is we don't require people to go to school, for all practical purposes," he said, noting that the measure also would address questions of attendance among home-schooled students.
that first day of first grade is a shocker' Armstrong said.
Kelly said the measure wouldn't impose significant new costs to the state or schools because no additional classrooms or teachers would be needed.
She also said making kindergarten mandatory would improve attendance among some students whose parents don't get them to class consistently.

>> IRAQ
Sunday suicide attack deadliest yet
(2)
BY SAMEER N. YACOUB ASSOCIATED PRESS
Samir Mizban/ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Stunned Iraqis loaded coffins onto minivans and picked through the rubble of buildings Sunday after a suicide truck bomber obliterated a Baghdad market in a mainly Shiite area, killing at least 132 people in the deadliest single strike by a suicide bomber since the war started.
iraqi children inspect the crack of a car destroyed in a car bomb explosion in Baghdad, Iraq, on Sunday. A parked car bomb exploded near a transect area in northern Baghdad where buses pick up people going to the eastern Shiite district of Sadr city, killing at least four people and wounding 21, police said.
The explosion Saturday was fifth major bombing in less than a month targeting predominantly Shite districts in Baghdad and the southern Shite city of Hillah. It also was the worst in the capital since a series of car bombs and mortars killed at least 215 people in the Shite district of Sadr City on Nov. 23.
Hospital officials said 132 people were killed and 305 were wounded in the thunderous explosion that sent a column of smoke into the sky on the east bank of the Tigris River. Heavily bandaged women, children and men filled hospital beds, while several bloodied bodies were piled onto blankets on the floor of the morgue, which was filled to capacity.
Police used loudspeakers to ask people to leave the area, fearing another suicide bomber could slip into the crowd.
Adnan Latta, a 51-year-old seller of gas cylinders, said people had recovered two bodies and body parts from under the rubble, while Shiite militiamen prevented anyone from entering the emptied buildings.
"It is a tragedy. The terrorists want to punish the Iraqi people. There was no police or American
presence in this market yesterday";
Lafta said.
The bombing came just days before American and Iraqi forces were expected to start an all-out assault on Sunni and Shite gunmen and bombers in the capital.
Only a day earlier, 16 American intelligence agencies made public a National Intelligence Estimate that said conditions in Baghdad were perilous.
"Unless efforts to reverse these conditions show measurable progress ... in the coming 12 to 18 months, we assess that the overall security situation will continue to deteriorate," a declassified synopsis of the report declared.
Suspicion fell on Sunni insurgents — al-Qaida in Iraq and allied groups in particular. The militant bombers are believed to have stepped up their campaign against Shiites in the final days before the joint U.S.-Iraqi crackdown in Baghdad. Many saw the operation as a last-cance effort to clamp off violence that has turned the capital into a sectarian battleground.
Iraqis elsewhere in Baghdad faced another round of bombings and shootings on Sunday, with at least 13 people killed, including two cell phone company employees in a drive-by shooting and four policemen who were struck by a roadside bomb.
Iraqi soldiers also detained 32 militants and discovered four weapons caches in western Baghdad, seizing 1,128 mortar rounds, five rocket-propelled grenades, a rocket launcher, 50 anti-aircraft shells and other ammunition, according to the
Saturday's death toll surpassed a Feb. 28, 2005, suicide car bomb targeting mostly Shiite police and national guard recruits in Hillah that killed 125.
Defense Ministry.
In the hours after the explosion, Shite and Sunni mortar teams traded fire across the darkened city. Two people were killed and 20 wounded in one predominantly Sunni district.
The White House called the bombing an atrocity. U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said the attack was "an example of what the forces of evil will do to intimidate the Iraqi people."
Meanwhite, an Iraqi militant group tied to al-Qaida in Iraq announced Saturday it had launched its own strategy to counter the coming U.S.-Iraq crackdown.
In an audiotape posted on a Web site commonly used by the insurgents, a voice purported to be that of Abu Abdullah Rashid al-Baghdadi, also known as Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, said the group would "widen the circle of battles" beyond Baghdad to all of Iraq. Al-Baghdadi heads The Mujahdeen Shura Council, an umbrella organization of insurgent groups in Iraq.
The U.S. military reported the deaths of five more soldiers — four in fighting and one of an apparent heart attack. All died Friday.
Iraqi authorities said that 145 people were killed or were found dead Saturday, including those killed in the market bombing. Of the total, 19 were found dumped in the capital, most of the bodies showing signs of torture.

Proponents push field of empty dreams
In his recent State of the Union address, President Bush called for reductions in American gasoline consumption of 20 percent during the next decade.
This isn't the first time a president has pushed for developments in alternative energy, and given our insatiable appetite for oil it will likely not be the last.
But Bush's proposal increases emphasis on ethanol use, which may be the greatest energy fraud foisted on the American people in decades.
Ethanol has emerged as a pet cause of many Midwestern politician. It brings money to economically stunted states while promising to reduce dependence on foreign oil. Ethanol based gasoline has later been hailed as the clean energy of the future, utilizing a domestic source and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
But a closer look at ethanol reveals that these promises are largely empty. Right now, ethanol-based gas is cheaper than regular gas for two reasons: first, the federal government gives it a 51-cent subsidy per gallon. Second, importers of ethanol from foreign sources face a 54-cent per gallon tariff.
The notion of limitless ethanol supply, an idea perpetuated by those same Midwestern politicians, is mythical; a Wall Street Journal report notes that to reach Bush's goal by 2017, the entire United
States corn harvest would have to be dedicated to ethanol.
The other chief selling point of ethanol is its supposed environmental benefit. But a recent study found that the use of ethanol in its current gasoline form reduced greenhouse gas emissions by a meager 5 percent, hardly making ethanol an environmental deus ex machina. Its manufacturing requirements are also suspect and do not reduce energy use; the output from ethanol exceeds its required input by just 1.3 to one.
Searching for new and renewable sources of energy is commendable and should continue until suitable alternatives to oil are found, but rushing to embrace an unproven and so far inefficient source is disingenuous and poses a threat to the resources required to explore other areas. Americans should be wary of the ethanol craze, and should not fall victim to the type of the corn lobby.
The comparable measurement for gasoline is an impressive 10 to one. Environmentalists who rush to embrace ethanol as the energy of the future may also overlook its effects on nature; the proposal to convert much of America's 40 million acre conservation reserve to ethanol-related sites would have devastating effects on Great Plains wildlife.

Foreign languages teach more than new curses
I recently found a $2 gem on the discount shelf of a bookstore. I was thrilled to discover that it was actually an entertaining story.
Anthony Capella's "The Food of Love" was intriguing because it brought storytelling and learning together. While the three main characters weave their way in and out of a love triangle in Italy, Capella teaches the reader how to cook sensual meals and Italian words and phrases.
Because of this book, I can now tell a guy to "vatte a fa" 'nu giro, a fessa a mammata" — piss off back into the orfices of your mother from which you were delivered — or "hai voluto la bicicleta? E pedala!" — the Italian way of saying "you made your bed, now sleen in it."

Because of this, Americans are behind in the foreign language department. Since 1974 all European countries except Ireland and Britain

Children learn
languages faster and more easily than adults and teenagers. Just having a baby listen to music from another country will help him or her speak that language with better dialect. Babies are able to mimic the sounds of other languages.
Francois Thibaut runs The Language Workshop for Children, which has nine schools on the East Coast. In a USA Today article, Thibaut said children who learned
foreign languages did better in school, scored higher on standardized tests, were better problem solvers and were more open to diversity.
Foreign language knowledge not only helps children,but can also help people get into college,balance school,work and extracurricular activities and lead a more diversified life.
The sooner you learn another language, the better off you are. But even if you're in college it's not too late. And for those of you who have nieces, nephews or children of your own, consider buying them a foreign-language computer program or a CD of foreign music. They'll thank you when they're grown.

COMMENTARY
Bipartisan events underreported
On Saturday, Jan. 27, hundreds of thousands of people rallied in Washington D.C. to protest the war in Iraq. The protest march was organized and led primarily by United for Peace and Justice.
UFPJ is a group that formed in 2002 in response to the American government's "policy of permanent warfare and empire-building." It's a diverse coalition made up of, according to its Web site, such groups as the National Organization for Women, United Church of Christ, the American Friends Service Committee, True Majority, Military Families Speak Out, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Farms Not Arms, CODEPINK, Onorg and September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.
Along with these groups are almost 90 national groups and many more state groups involved
in the anti-Iraq war effort.

It's hard to go a day without hearing that our nation is polarized. We are no longer Americans. We are consumers of political culture. A state is no longer just a state; it must be classified as either "red" or "blue." There is one reason both the media and politicians push this classification: drama.
The media use drama to sell papers and the politicians use it to bring people to the polls. No matter
together to promote a common cause.
how different institutions want us to think we are, we're more alike than different and its time that our politicians and media reflected that.
What could be more dramatic than half a million people marching onto the mall in Washington D.C. to protest the Iraq war? Yet it's not the only time an Iraq war protest has gone mostly uncovered by the news media.
Honestly, how many students knew that the march even happened, let alone the magnitude or
major concerns with our society, from the University of Kansas to the national level, is what kind of information are we receiving.
One of my
goal of the rally?
This drama cannot be divided into red and blue categories. People of all walks of life support finding a quick end to the war, from military members — both active and retired — to pacifists, from steadfast Christians to secularists, from 16-year-olds to 60-year-olds. The dissatisfaction with President Bush's war in Iraq knows no age, color, class or religion.
Knowing that no one is alone in his or her desire to use the unity created by the current military disaster, we must demand a focus on our national unity and our national desire to end the war. Nothing changes until we say so.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Students trump fans
A couple of weeks ago, I drove to campus to use the library and the fitness center and found that the entrances to Lot 90 were barricaded or guarded. This was, of course, for the people attending the Jan. 27 basketball game against Colorado. The students already utilizing this lot either had to move their vehicles to the side streets or risk a ticket. The only way to park was to pay a $10 fee. But students already pay $160 for an annual parking permit, and they also pay more than $300 in fees each semester to use facilities such as the library and fitness center.
I understand that the ability to park on campus is a privilege, not a right. I also understand that the parking department is doing its best. But, I don't understand why sports fans are given higher priority than students. According to the statement of institutional mission, "[t]he University of Kansas is a major comprehensive research and teaching university that serves as
a center for learning, scholarship,
and creative endeavor." Where does
athletics fit in here? I was equally
hard-pressed to find a statement
in the KU Parking and Transit
Department mission statement
and goals to support the "athletics
trumps education" argument.
Don't get me wrong. I have an appreciation for college sports. I know that basketball is deeply rooted in the history of this university. Nevertheless, KU was founded for education and research.
The KU Parking and Transit Department exists to serve the University, which exists for the benefit of education, research and service programs. Can't we at least pretend that the highest priority is given to people seeking to use the University resources for these purposes?

LADY LAKE, Fla. - President Bush designated four central Florida counties as disaster areas, releasing millions of dollars in aid as residents began recovering from tornadoes that ripped through the region, leaving at least 20 people dead.
National Guard troops, neighbors and residents cleaned up in the rain Saturday, pulling blue tarps over houses that still had walls.
The victims from the seconddeadliest series of tornadoes in state
history ranged from a 92 year old man to 17-year-old Brittany May, killed by a falling tree that crushed her bedroom.
"It makes you sick to your stomach for what we saw." David Paulison, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said after touring the area with Gov. Charlie Crist.

Neighbors helped Sherry Reeves, 48, sort through her belongings and patch a big hole in her roof. Reeves was amazed that her home wasn't levelled like hundreds of others in this area about 50 miles north of Orlando.

Aggies dominate in final minutes
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
With the game on the line, everyone expected Texas &M to give the ball to Acie Law. It's what he did with it that was surprising.
Law's final stat line showed 23 points, but only one three-point basket — the game-winner. Jayhawk sophomore guard Brandon Rush wasn't expecting it.
"I thought he was going to drive on me," Rush said. "He hadn't shot a three all game, so I played off him a little bit. I still contested it pretty good. It just went in."
The Aggie guard made a three-pointer that put Texas A&M on top to defeat Kansas 69-66.
That final play was the culmination of a rally that began nine minutes earlier for Texas A&M. With the jayhawks up 11 points and looking to put the game away, they instead
allowed the Aggies to make back-to-back three pointers.
Once the Aggies gained momentum, they capitalized, going on a 17-4 run to finish the game. Kansas coach Bill Self said that all four of the Jayhawks' losses shared a common theme.
"We broke down defensively a couple times, and it cost us," junior guard Russell Robinson said.
"It's all come down to us not getting stops at the end of the game," he said. "We can look at offense or whatever, but we have to figure out a way to get stops with the game on the line."
Part of that could be attributed to Law's dominance. Even after Rush moved to cover him, Law continued to create shots for himself, including two free throws that sealed the

Aaron Baddeley birdies three of four final holes for second tour victory
BY BOB BAUM ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Aaron Baddeley birdied three of the final four holes and took advantage of left Quinney's late collapse Sunday for a one-stroke victory in the FBR Open.
It was a dramatic late turnaround for two golfers who are virtually neighbors in north Scottsdale.
Baddieley trailed Quinney by three shots with four holes to go, but birdied the 15th, 16th and 17th holes en route to his second PGA Tour victory. The 26-year-old Australian, who also has U.S. citizenship, won the Verizon Heritage last year.
"I'm sure Jeff is disappointed
with the way he finished, but I was just trying to put pressure on him towards the end." Baddeley said. "When I got three back, I was really just thinking if I can be one back playing the last hole, I've got a chance."
As it turned out, he was one-up with one hole to go.
His misery began when his tee shot splashed into the water at the 332-yard, par-4 17th. After his drop, his third shot landed just 4 feet from the cup, but he missed the short putt for a boogey.
Baddley shot his second consecutive 7-under 64 to finish at 21-under 196. John Rollins tied the best round of the week at 63 and was second at 20 under, one shot ahead of Quinney (68). Bart Bryant was 18 under and Billy Mayfair followed at 17 under.
"You knew a lot of birdies were going to be flying." Rollins said. "The weather was perfect, the golf course has been fantastic all week. You just knew you had to make a bunch of birdies."
Baddeley earned $1.08 million for the victory under bright sunshine at the TPC Scottsdale.

Quinney played for Arizona State, and had Sun Devils fans behind him all day. Meanwhile, Baddeley had friends and family wearing T-shirts that read "Bad's Brigade." His sister-in-law made them Saturday night.
Quinney had led or tied for the lead in the last two tournaments;
Baddelse sank a 9-footer for birdie to tie Quinney at 19 under, but only for an instant on the 595-yard 13th. Quinney, playing in the same group, hit a bunker shot four feet from the cup, then made it for a birdie to regain a one-stroke lead.

Henrickson sees positive play in Saturday's loss
Kansas surprises No. 18 Texas A & M and runs with the Aqqies for most of the game; most recent loss drops conference record to 0-9
BY ASHER FUSCO
Several adjectives could be used to describe this season for the Kansas women's basketball team. Difficult and disappointing are the first that spring to mind.
However, after her team's most recentloss,coach Bonnie Henrickson managed to find encouragement in her team's heart and competitiveness.
It was this competitive fire that brought the Jayhawks tantalizingly close to their first conference victory Saturday night. Kansas ended up losing 64-53 after hanging with No. 18 Texas A&M throughout the contest.
"This is a difficult stretch we've
been in, but we've been able to find some positives'. Henrickson said.
The positives Henrickson spoke of manifested themselves when her team pulled to within four points to end the first half and tied the game 36-36 with 15:39 remaining in the second half.
Much of Kansas' first-half success can be attributed to junior guard Taylor McIntosh.
The Jayhawks shocked the Aggies in the early going and held the lead for a sizeable portion of the first half.
McIntosh scored 10 points on 5-for-6 shooting and gathered six rebounds in the opening half alone. The turning point of the game occurred when the referee whistled
McIntosh for her fourth foul with just more than 15 minutes remaining.
The Aggies took advantage of younger jayhawk post players after McIntosh was relegated to the bench because of foul trouble. In the next five minutes Texas A&M put the game out of reach with a 13.0 m

"They made a run on us when we had our freshmen in there," Henrickson said.

and sever rebounds.
With any hope of a postseason berth long forgotten and the defeats piling, the lajhawks can take solace in that they continue to compete with some of the nation's best squads.
Their efforts fell short on Saturday night, but Henrickson's positive demeanor suggests that the jayhawks' woes may end sometime soon.

Florida State comes from behind, upsets Duke
Seminoles record first victory on Blue Devils' home court; Reddick's jersey retired at halftime
BY JOEDY MCCREARY ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — Al Thornton scored 21 points and Florida State upset No. 8 Duke 68-67 on Sunday to snap a 15-game losing streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Toney Douglas added 15 points and Uche Echefui had 12 for the Seminoles (17-6, 5-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who overcame a 17-point deficit to claim their first victory on the Blue Devils' fabled home floor.
Duke had two late chances after David McClure rebounded Douglas' miss with about 30 seconds left. The Blue Devils brought it downcourt and called timeout with 7.7 seconds left to set up their final play. DeMarcus Nelson inbounded the ball to Greg Paulus, and he missed a layup.
A jump ball was called on the rebound, and the possession arrow pointed toward Duke. Josh McRoberts took the inbounds pass in the lane with about 2 seconds left, and his floater rimmed out.Nelson's putback attempt bounced off the rim as time expired.
Paulus finished with a career high 23 points for Duke (18:5, 5-4), which has lost two straight in the final seconds and now must beat rival North

seven assists in Saturday's game.
If it wasn't for Law, the Aggies wouldn't have been able to reach any milestones. With six minutes and 42 seconds remaining, the postgame celebration had practically already started.
Texas A&M's victory gave it aile possession of first place in the Big 12 Conference. To top it off, it was the Aggies' first victory against the Jayhawks in 12 attempts, and also the first-ever victory for a south team at Allen Fieldhouse.
The jayhawks withstood an Aggies surge and led 62-52, the Kansas crowd was extra hyped because of College GameDay and

Law received the ball off an inbounds pass and was covered in the corner by sophomore guard Brandon Rush. Rush shied off of him slightly, giving him enough room to bury a long three-pointer, which gave his team the lead and later the victory.
"Rush just laid off me a little bit," Law said. "We were down two and I feel like he thought I was going to drive it, I just took it as a good
Law drove past his defender in the lane, gently tossed it off the glass while being fouled, and made his free throw to make it 64-61. The Aggies tied it with one minute to go, but
Kansas regained the lead on a layup by sophomore forward Julian Wright. Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie called a time-out.
"It was his game at that point," Gillispie said about Law. "I called for something else in the time out, and he said he wanted the ball in his hands. And I said, 'You're the coach; you got it.' He probably be a better coach than I am because that was really smart. He wanted it, got it and performed with it."
opportunity to go for the win. The team that we are, on the road, back against the wall. Why not go for it all? My teammates have confidence in me to put the ball in my hands, and I came through for them."
Saturday wasn't the first time Law had given his team a victory with a late shot. Last year against Texas, he stroked a long three-pointer as time expired for a 46-43 victory. He said his go-ahead shot against Kansas was better.
Law battled injuries earlier in the season but broke out in December against UCLA. Since then he's increased his scoring average from about 13 points per game to 16.6 points per game.
Gillispie said he was also being more aggressive. If not for Texas' Kevin Durant, he would likely be a shoe-in for Big 12 Player of the Year.
"He's not afraid to make plays," Gillispie said. "He can make plays off the dribble; he can make plays off the catch; he can make plays at the rim. He's a very difficult guy to guard."
Three years ago, Texas A&M finished 0-16. Now the Aggies are atop the Big 12 at 7-1 and are in position to win the conference after beating the Jayhawks in their only match-up.
"This is special," Law said. "This is one of the bigger victories, but this is still midseason. We still have a long way to go. Coach always tells us we got to handle the highs and lows in conference play, but this one feels really, really good."

Michael Phillips
Upsets like Kansas State defeating Texas and Colorado defeating Oklahoma State are fun to watch, but are going to end up costing the Big 12 Conference when the tournament rolls around. The perception nationally is that the Big 12 is weak this year, and when two of the conference's marquee teams lose to big underdogs, that's not going to help. Kansas and Texas A&M will both make noise in the tournament, and Texas will go as far as Kevin Durant takes it, but nobody else in the conference can be considered a serious contender right now.

11 points, and all you've got to do is take care of the ball and just make stops. That's something we didn't do."
It's old news that this team gets complacent with a lead. The baffling part is that even though they have trouble closing out games, the lajhawks continue to relax and allows opponents to get back in the game.
In most of its three previous losses, Kansas played well early and faded down the stretch, failing to make plays with the game on the line.
Saturday was no different.
The Jayhawks went four minutes without a basket as the Aggies methodically sliced into their lead.
The problem with the offense late in the game was Self's insistence to get the ball inside to Kaun, who had done next to nothing all night. The best way to rebuild that crumbling lead would have been to do what worked best in the first half — guards Marto Chalmers, Sherron Collins and Brandon Rush driving to the basket. The best idea is to put the ball in the hands of your playmakers.
Instead, Self wanted to pound the ball in the paint to Kaun and Gillispie made him pay for it.
The Aggies trailing by three. Gillspies decision to unintentionally intentionally foul Kaun with 1.28 left was a brilliant scouting and great coaching move. With
Kaun shooting 50 percent from the free-throw line on the season, the "hack-a-Kaun" approach paid off. If Kaun just made two of the four free throws that he missed, who knows how the game would have turned out.

KU undefeatable in Hawaii
---
BY ALISSA BAUER
A trip to Hawaii is nice. A five game sweep in Hawaii is paradise.
The lajhwaks capped off their up to the University of Hawaii at Hilo Sunday afternoon in Kalua Kona, Hawaii, with a 9.2 victory. After playing the first four games at Francis K. Wong Stadium in Hilo, the lajhwakes and Vulcans concluded the series, which is becoming common as the season opener, at Simmons Field in Kona.
Four games in just three days provided room for Kansas to adjust to the four-hour time difference, weather in the 70s and an opponent who has spent its entire season outside.
Evidently, those four games were enough. One year ago, the lajwhayks took the first four games from the Vulcans, but lot the finale. This season, a better prepared Kansas squad returns to Lawrence with a 5-0 start.
"The difference was that our pitching was deeper," coach Ritch Price said, comparing this year's Jayhawks to last year's. "I've taken teams three 10 times in my coaching career and that's only the second time we've ever swept."
Kansas struck first in the top of the second inning with a Ryne Price double. The junior second baseman led off the inning shortly before sophomore first baseman Preston Land walked.
Sophomore catcher Buck Menri picked up a double of his own to score Price, giving the jawhaws
a lead that they wouldn't give up for the remainder of the afternoon. Junior designated hitter Joe Servais drove another pair of runs to put the Jayhawks ahead 3-0 in the second.
Once ahead, Kansas began piling on its lead as the club scored a pair of runs for the next three innings.
Freshman third baseman Robby Price followed big brother Ryne's lead when he led off the third with a double. He was joined on the bases by junior outfielder John Allman when he was allowed on because of catcher's interference.
A Vulcan error and a single by junior shortstop Erik Morrison scored them both and put distance between the teams that Hawaii-Hilo never closed.
"It makes a statement about our program," coach Price said. "We're beating teams that we should beat."
Besides a potent offensive attack, junior right hander Andres Esquibel (1-0) pulled his weight in the victory, tossing five innings and allowing just two runs. In his Jayhawk debut, the California native gave up eight hits and just one walk while striking out four.
"I think that was the highlight of the weekend by far," coach Price said of his pitching staff. "All five guys each gave us an outstanding start."
Competing right-hander Jeffrey Germain (0-1) took the loss on the other side of the field after allowing seven runs. Although they couldn't keep the Jayhawks from scoring, the Vulcan pitchers struck out nine batters on Sunday.
"We're not swinging the bats well," coach Price said. "The strikeout numbers are alarming, but can be attributed to us not seeing live pitching yet this spring."
Nevertheless, the lajayhaws rolled right through the fourth with the help of Allman. The All Big 12-second-team returner crushed a triple to right center to score junior outfielder Brock Simpson and the youngest Price.
The lead stretched to 7-0 before Hawai-Hilo made the scoreboard. Although scattered hits kept the Vulcans from being silent, until the bottom of the fourth it looked as if Kansas may seal its second shutout of the series.
It was not to be. With two outs in the bottom of the inning, Vulcan infielder Dayne Ogawa singled to the left and drove in first baseman Courtney Harris who led the inning off with a double. Hawaii-Hilo scored again in the bottom of the fifth but did not do so again.
"They weren't as good as they have been in the past. They lost three impact players from a year ago." Price said.
Before the Jayhawks left for Hawaii, Price said that the Afenir from last season was a completely different player this season. He wasn't lying. The sophomore led the Kansas offense on Sunday, going 2-4 with a pair of runs scored and three RBL His two-run homer in the top of the fifth closed out his teams scoring for the day.
》 The Vulcans kept pace with the layhawks for the first six innings, but a three-run seventh inning for Kansas proved to be the difference.
Junior right fielder Brock Simpson drove in the deciding runs in the seventh with a two-RBI triple and scored on a wild pitch later in the inning. He went 2-for-5 in the game.
Junior left-hander pitcher Zach Ashwood earned the victory in his first start as a Jayhawk. The transfer from Texas Christian University struck out seven in six innings and allowed just one unearned run on one hit and three walks.
The 5-0 start gives Kansas plenty to build on as the team prepares to open and fight the cold at home for the next two weekends. Of course, the 75-plus degree weather may have spoiled them.
>> Junior second baseman Ryne Price scored Kansas' first run of the season on a lead-off home run in the second inning.

"I told our players what a great weekend it was to be gone, seeing what the weather was like in the Midwest," Price said. "Hopefully the weather will work out so we can get a couple of games in this weekend."

Although he came into the season as the leading candidate to be Kansas leadoff man, he proved he deserved the联赛 in Hawali. For the series, he had three multi-hit games, scored seven runs, and had three RBI, three walks and two stolen bases.

>> ON THE MOUND
Coach Ritch Price has to be overjoyed at the performances he got from his pitching staff. He hoped to use this series to find three weekend starters, but that won't be easy as all five starters showed good command and earned victories. There was also very little drop-off, if any, when Price gave the game to his bullpen. In fact, a winner in the closer race might have emerged from the series. Sophomore Paul Smyth faced only 10 batters in three innings of work, struck out three and allowed no hits or runs.

Manning, Dungy share sweet victory
BY BARRY WILNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — A wet and wild Super Bowl, the winning conditions for Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.
A team built for indoors found its footing on a rain-soaked field and outplayed the Chicago Bears to win the NFL title 29-17 Sunday night.
The Colts were far less sloppy, particularly their star quarterback, who proved he can indeed win the big game — the biggest game.
That's what it was for Tony Dungy, too. He became the first black coach to win the championship, beating good friend and protege Lovie Smith in a game that featured two black coaches for the first time in Super
Bowl history.
It was a game of firsts; the first rainy Super Bowl and the first time an opening kickoff was run back for a touchdown when sensational Bears rookie Devin Hester sped downfield for 92 vards.
And not since the Buffalo Bills self-destructed with nine turnovers in losing to Dallas 14 years ago had there been so much messiness.
The first half was marred by six turnovers, three for each team. Even football's most clutch kicker, Adam Vinatieri, missed a chip-shot field goal, and an extra point attempt was botched, too.
The second half wasn't quite so ugly, but when much-maligned Bears quarterback Rex Grossman's wobbler was picked off and returned 56 yards for a touchdown by Kelvin Hayden
with 11:44 remaining, it was over.
Chicago (15-4), which led the league in takeaways this season, finished with five turnovers, including two interceptions by Grossman.
The Colts (16-4) will take it. Its their first title since the 1970 season, when they played in Baltimore.
Manning ended up 25 for 38 for 247 vards, with one touchdown and one interception, and was the games most valuable player.
It was confirmation of his brilliance, even if he didn't need to be dynamic. The son of a quarter back who never got to the playoffs. Manning has been a star throughout his college career at Tennessee and his nine pro seasons with the Colts.
Now he is a champion.
It also was a validation of Dung's leadership. He helped build Tampa
Bay, one of the NFL's worst trumphs,
into a contender before being fired
after the 2001 season. The next year,
the Bucs won the Super Bowl under
Jon Gruden.
The Colts hosted their coach on their shoulders and he switched his blue Colts cap for a white one that read "NFL Champions."
Dungy was carried from the side line, then was lowered so he could share a long embrace and a handshake with Smith.
Then Dungy waded through the mob to find his quarterback, giving him a big hug.
The Colts reached the pinnacle by winning four postseason games with a defense that made a complete turnaround in the playoffs.

Football fans bought season tickets online at record pace in the first few days of a priority points promotion offer through the Athletics Department.
The promotion offered 10 priority points per purchase, double the normal amount awarded. Associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said fans purchased more than 1,000 season-ticket packages during the first six days of the online promotion, which began on Jan. 31 and ends Feb. 14.
"If this is any indication, they'll increase dramatically from two years ago," he said.
The priority points system gives those with the largest total number of points first choice on seats in
the stadium and the best chance at getting season tickets for men's basketball.
The Athletics Department sold a record 28,110 season ticket packages last year, surpassing the previous
high of 27,700 in 1969.
Marchiony said fans preferred seats in various spots throughout the stadium, but sections nine, ten and eleven usually filled up first. They run from one
had about 2,500 priority points.
Marchiony said increasing online sales minimized the handling costs for tickets by reducing the number of employees needed to take orders, reducing credit card
35-yard line to the other, on the west side of the stadium. He estimated fans sitting in those sections

fees and cutting down mailing costs. He said the online process was also easier for fans because they could order tickets any time of the day rather than only during business hours. He said
"I just don't see myself donating thousands of dollars to get seats in Allen Fieldhouse."
fans could still purchase tickets in person or over the phone.
"I don't know if anytime soon it
will be exclusively online but who knows', Marchiony said. "Ten years ago no one would've thought it was even possible", he said.
With the priority points system in its third year, Marchiony said the most dramatic turnover was complete now that nearly all fans in the most coveted seats had high point totals and were less likely to be displaced.
"People tend to gravitate towards the seats they've had for a while," he said. "When they have a choice, they like to sit where they've been sitting."

>> SMOKING BAN
Kansas to follow city's lead
BY JOE HUNT
Lawrence has gone smoke-free, and the rest of Kansas may soon follow.
The Kansas Senate is deliberating over a bill that would ban smoking in most indoor public places. The proposed ban is similar to the one implemented in Lawrence in 2004, but on a statewide level. Counties could opt out of the ban if they did not want to enforce it.
Mark Ellis, manager at Skimy's Sports Bar and Grill in Topeka, said the ban could be detrimental to businesses in Kansas that have large amounts of customers who smoke. Ellis estimated that 80 percent of his customers were smokers.
"We don't have an outside area to make somebody comfortable to go out and smoke," Ells said.
GRS
Sen. David Wysong (R-Mission Hills) introduced the ban in its original form on Jan. 9, and he disagreed that it would affect Skinny's business.
"I question and discount his numbers," Wysong said. "82 percent of citizens in Kansas don't smoke."
Wysong said that multiple studies showed that there was no economic impact from a smoking ban, and that 300 to 600 Kansans died from secondhand smoke every year.
Ellis said Skinny's would tight to have Shawnee County exempt from the ban.
Doug Holiday, owner of Bigg's
BBQ, 2429 Iowa St., thought that would be unfair. He said he supported the statewide ban.
Holiday said he was concerned customers would just drive to a sports bar where there was no

"If everyone is on the same playing field it's OK." Holiday said. "But people can just go to Legends from here. It needs to be on a state-wide level."

University numbers drop while ranking up
BY NATHAN GILL
The Peace Corps program at the University of Kansas rose in national rankings from 18th in 2006 to 17th in 2007 despite a drop in program participation over the same period.
National Peace Corps spokesman, Nathan Arnold, said the University's ranking increased because Peace Corps participation at other universities dropped more than the University's had.
"it's kind of deceptive," Arnold said. "You moved up a spot even though you actually dropped a little."
》 PEACE CORPS
Participation in the University's Peace Corps program dropped slightly this year, from 52 to 49 volunteers, but has grown since 2003. The program's national ranking has risen since at least 2001, when it ranked 60th.
Betty Baron, Peace Corps coordinator at the University, declined to comment specifically on the drop in participation but said, "I continue to be astonished by the number of people who want to change the world."
The Peace Corps bases its national ranking on data collected on Sept. 30 each year. On that date, the program counts the number of volunteers who have bachelor's degrees from a given university.
Baron said that Peace Corps volunteers could be

FEBRUARY SISTERS FORUM
Transgendered man shares stories
BY TYLER HARBERT
Dylan Scholinski came into the world as Daphne Scholinski.
However, he came to a packed Alderson Auditorium Monday to talk about his experiences growing up in a mental hospital after being diagnosed at 15 as an "inappropriate female."
The artist and author of "The Last Time I Wore a Dress: A Memoir" spoke about playing baseball instead of with dolls, read excerpts from his book and shared slides of the artwork he was inspired to create after being harassed about not being lady-like.
"My goal in life is to create a more passionate society," Scholinski said. "No two people are alike and we
spend an enormous amount of energy to fit into two categories; There's a much wider spectrum."
He said he was lucky to be speaking about his life because he said the same trials he faced occur to thousands of people in this country.
He talked about spending his entire high school life locked in a hospital and how he felt ashamed when people around him would talk about their high school experiences.
"I made up a story to hide what happened to me during that time," Scholinski said. "I need to find a way to express myself or I was going to die."
Scholmiši said he was released

>> UNIVERSITY PLAY
'Lily' teaches tolerance
BY KATY BLAIR
Monday was the opening of University Theatre's play for children, "Lily Plants A Garden" by Jose Cruz Gonzalez.
The play focuses on a girl who uses puppets to convey her life and the problems she has encountered with diversity.
Written as children's theatre, the play uses colorful, lively acting to entertain young people, while also communicating an important message.
During the performance, a young girl plays with puppets, who represent herself and the people in her life. The main puppet, Lily, a member of the fictitious Zobeing race, is adopted by members of another fictitious race called Wulumans, but the Wulumans' neighbors dislike Lily because she is different.
Lily learns that despite her anguish about being different, she creates hope for understanding in her land. A seed necklace she buried in sadness grew into a garden, which became a place for others to play and learn about differences.
"It's a heavy subject, but told in a very meaningful way," said ReBecca Ractlin, Shawnee sophomore and actress who plays Mama.
Gonzalez visited the University last week to work with the actors. He said the University's production was only the third performance of "Lily Plants A Garden" he knew of in America.
"It's a really cute story, and the message applies to people of all ages." Chloe Wong, function City senior and lighting designer, said. "It gets you thinking about how hard war and divorce, or abandonment, is for kids."
"Lilies Plant A Garden" will be playing at 1 p.m. this week in the Inge Theatre at Murphy Hall, and at 1 a.m. on Saturday and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Directors prepare for new responsibilities
» SCHOLARSHIP HALLS
BY JESSICA SAIN-BAIRD
The number of scholarship hall directors at the University of Kansas will drop from 11 to six in the 2007-08 school year to give them more roles and student contact. The change will expand the responsibilities and is expected to increase the quality of experience for directors.
All 11 scholarship halls are affected in the change, and each director will supervise two halls instead of one, according to Sarah Hayner, complex director for the scholarship halls. They will live in one of their halls and have an office in the other. Rieger Scholarship
Hall's director will instead supervise their hall and the paid student desk position at Crawford Community Center.
Graduate students serve as directors and receive free room and board with a biweekly stipend. Directors' pay will not increase and the University will save about $7,000 during the next school year because of the change, according to Hayner.
Compared to the other graduate level housing position of assistant complex directors, scholarship hall directors supervise a smaller number of students. The position is difficult to recruit for this reason and
directors have felt their position is looked down upon, said Hayner.
"They get a lot of advising experience and personal contact, but miss out on supervising and judicial experience." Hayner said. With a high turnover of directors, Hayner worked with Jennifer Wamelink, interim associate director for residence life, to create the change and make the position more desirable.
The change will allow directors to work with more students and become more marketable, said Ashley Kockler, Margaret Amini scholarship hall director. Kockler worries that she won't be as visible to residents as a result, but is looking forward to the experience.
Each hall will have a new student position of food board manager who will work with the hall cooks to compile ingredient lists for menus. Kockler said, residents have complained about directors' food and meal decisions in the halls. Managers will work with residents further on meal issues and receive free room and board.
The change will increase each director's supervision from one to four paid student positions – with the exception of Rieger Scholarship Hall – according to Kockler. "I can focus more on academic, personal and roommate related issues," she
said.
Sara Holt, Centerville senior and Rieger resident, does not like the drop in directors because she thinks it is important for residents to be more familiar with their director. Though students may express concern, said Hayner, directors will be available during their individual office hours and carry a pager on rotation.

BUSH HEALTH CARE PROPOSAL
Democrats speak out against Medicare, Medicaid cuts
BY SAM HANANEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Kansas Republicans on Monday generally praised President Bush's budget plan for holding down taxes, but Democrats warned that planned cuts to Medicare would mean higher premiums for many residents.
The $2.9 trillion spending proposal would boost funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and make Bush's first-term tax cuts permanent. But it also calls for $78 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, the government's health care programs for the elderly, poor and disabled.
If adopted in Congress, the spending cuts would help Bush meet his goal of eliminating the federal deficit in five years.
U. S. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., called the White House's defense spending plans a "significant investment" and credited Bush's tax relief measures for helping the economy grow.
"I look forward to debating these ideas critical to our economy, while not losing sight of our long-term funding obligations like Social Security and Medicare," Roberts said.
But the plan — covering the 2008 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 — faced a hostile reception from a Democratic-controlled Congress, and the spending blueprint is expected to see major revisions.
Democrats slammed the plan to trim health care spending, saying the cuts would cause more Medicare beneficiaries to pay higher premiums for prescription drugs and doctors' services. Most of the Medicare savings would come in slowing the growth of payments to health care providers.
"I am concerned that the president's budget sets aside billions of dollars to finance an expansion of the Iraq war, but cuts desperately needed funds from Medicare and Medicaid," said Democratic Rep Nancy Boyda of Topeka. "As Congress reviews the president's proposals, we'll work to ensure
that the final budget reflects our nation's priorities."
Republican Jerry Moran said he opposes Bush's plan to cut $193 million from health professional training programs, which are needed to keep small hospitals open and staffed with qualified personnel in his rural western Kansas district.
While Bush's plan calls for a 6 percent increase in funding for veterans health care. Moran said he is disappointed that the president wants to establish enrollment fees and increase prescription drug compayments for some veterans.
Republican Rep. Todd Tiahrt, who represents the Wichita area, said the budget proposal keeps the economy strong with low taxes, keeps spending under control and protects national security.
AUDGET
Democratic Rep. Dennis Moore, whose district includes the suburbs outside Kansas City, said he is concerned the budget proposal does not address "the priorities of the American people" with cuts "to programs that invest in our future, like education and health care."
President Bush holds up a copy of the fiscal 2008 federal budget as he speaks at the end of a Cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington on Monday. From left are Interior Secretary Dirk Kempeth, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and the president.

SUDOKU
Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 4x4 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each diagonal contains exactly one digit. The concept of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Sunday.

》 OUR VIEW
Student Senate fulfills promises, earns praise
Politics is full of empty promises Eventually those unfulfilled pledges fall on apathetic ears. People aren't obligated to care when decisions have no impact on them. This negative association with politics not only occurs on a national and state level, but on the campus level as well. Obviously, tar-reaching promises like "No classes before 10:00 a.m." cannot be fulfilled. But the University of Kansas' student body has been promised realistic benefits that have never come to fruition.
Refreshingly, student body president Iason Boots and vice president Melissa Horen have lived up to one of their major campaign platform points. As reported in Friday's The University Daily Kansan, Student Senate passed a campus-wide wireless Internet bill last week. Wireless Internet access on campus can benefit every student, faculty, staff and visitor that sets foot on campus.
Boots said that if students saw their politicians not fullfill campaign promises, they would lose faith in
the system and assume it didn't matter whom they voted for. "I'm too proud to have said I would work on something and then to not have put in the effort after the election," he said.
While this is a success, there are still more promises that Senate has to work on. "We'll be working on all of them until they send us packing from office," Boots said.
Senate's good word on its promise has set the bar for the next spring election. Candidates should always be held to their word. But now that students are rightfully becoming accustomed to getting what they're promised, elections on campus should receive higher voter turnout and attention. Students should have an increased awareness of the candidates and their platforms. If candidates are anything like Boots and Horen, what they promise could affect all students.

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Glue traps a cruel way to kill mice
I am writing concerning the story about the mouse infestation in Oliver Hall that appeared in The University Daily Kansan Jan. 30.
Specifically I want to address the manner in which people attempted to catch these mice and alert people to the fact that glue traps are a very cruel way to kill an animal.
As the owner of a variety of pets, including rodents, I can tell you unequivocally that these small animals feel pain and fear as well as happiness and comfort.
I have begun to understand that many people, while sensitive to the suffering of cats and dogs and other pets, simply don't see the suffering of "vermin" and farm animals as relevant.
They may not be able to name and explain the feelings in the same
manner as we do — but that makes their suffering even that much sadder because they have no idea what is going on or why their world has suddenly changed to fear and pain
If you must kill something — and I think there are generally alternatives — have the decency to do it quickly and cleanly. Don't allow an animal to be stuck, uncomprehending and terrified to a glue trap to be simply thrown out alive or killed later. There is no reason to prolong the suffering of another creature.
It's not funny, it's not cool and it's not necessary.

Uniform, crimson shingles could bring back spirit
There has been a disturbing trend on campus recently. It is a trend of betrayal and treachery and it affects every one of us, be we students, faculty or people who just love this mighty institution.
The villainous act I speak of is coming onto our campus and walking among us while being covered in other school's paraphernalia.
This egregious and public atrocity is completely unacceptable.
Failing to support your state and university is like failing to support your nation. Its worse actually.

The follow ing are a couple
of steps that would put the fightin
spirit back in Old KU.
First, completely redo the color scheme on campus. When did the colors of our beloved University become washed-out maroon and sandstone? What we need is to shin gle the roofs majestic crimson, paint every building as blue as our great state's sky, and make every staircase as golden as both our sun, and the maize that it nurtures.
I want our campus to look like the world's biggest Burger King. It should be visible from space, or at least wuss-bucket Manhattan.
Another idea is to implement a
school uniform, to prevent future acts of visual treason. I have some ideas in the works, but the final designs aren't quite where they need to be yet.
Now I'm afraid that with all this complaining I may come across as a nay-saving Nancy. But I don't think we are completely lost.
In fact, whenever I see one of the brilliantly blue new Park and Ride buses, I see a glimmer of hope. And every time I am walking through campus and am passed by a fellow student wearing KU sweatpants, a blue nylon jayhawk windbreaker, and a baseball cap embroidered with one of our many fine logos, it brings a tear to my eye. A little jayhawk tear.
Oh and I think that the "chin- strap" should be mandatory facial hair for all guys.

sider people with STDs as less moral than their STD-free, sexually active peers?
It's inexcusable for someone with an STI or STD, or a person who has been in a situation
Facebook groups like "Air five me if you've got STDs," show that our society's defense against sexually transmitted infections, which are sexually transmitted diseases that haven't developed symptoms, and STDs is to make light of their prevalence instead of accepting it and initiating change.
The group is described with, "The last thing in the world that anyone wants is to pick up some random rash or open sore from incidental contact with an STD laden [sic] vagrant." With more than 50 percent of sexually active Americans contracting an STI in their lifetimes, according to the American Social Health Association, why do we still com-
where he or she may have contracted one, to not be honest with a partner. But in order to facilitate openness, we need to cut the shame and blaming and acknowledge the state of the sexually active community.

"The clerk said, 'We found your son in the women's bathroom.'" he said.
He said he hasn't used a women's restroom in eight or nine years, since one in Memphis was closed and he was forced to use the mens room. He said most people don't realize how privileged they are to not have to consider those kinds of simple details in their daily lives.

Beatles near end of iTunes boycott
BY JORDAN ROBERTSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. — For the third time in nearly three decades, iPod maker Apple Inc. has resolved a bitter trademark dispute with The Beatles' guardian Apple Corps Ltd. over use of the iconic apple logo and name.
But while the truce announced Monday appeared to finally bury the long-simmering animosity, music lovers will still need to wait for the right to buy such songs as "Love Me Do" or "Hey Jude" on Apple Inc's iTunes online store.
The announcement — made jointly by one of the world's largest music sellers and one of history's most beloved bands — was silent on whether the catalog of Beatles songs will become available for download any time soon.
The Beatles have so far been the most prominent holdout from iTunes and other online music services, and Apple's overtures to put the music online have been stymed by the ongoing litigation.
The settlement gives Cupertino-based Apple Inc, ownership of the name and logo in return for agreeing to license some of those trademarks back to London-based Apple Corps — guardian of The
Beatles' commercial interests — to their continued use.
It ends the ongoing trademark lawsuit between the two companies, with each side paying its own legal costs.
Industry analysts said a resolution on putting The Beatles' music online is likely already in the works.
"It goes from impossible to a lock that it's going to happen — it's a function of time at this point," said Gene Munster, senior research analyst with investment bank Piper laffray & Co. "I bet they move pretty fast. For Apple, it was critical that they got this taken care of."
It's no secret that Steve Jobs
Apple tiers chief executive officer and a huge Beatles fan — has wanted the British band's music on iTunes.
Jobs even cued up some Beatles music and album art in unveiling the company's highly anticipated iPhone gadget at the Macworld Conference and Expo last month, setting off rampant speculation that some type of deal might be in the works.
However, decades of legal disputes between the two companies have thus far made any partnership all but impossible.

Novices take over for pro ad creators
BY SETH SUTEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — There was a new entry this year in the annual showdown of advertisers in the Super Bowl: amateurs.
A goofty spot for Doritos showing a hapless driver distracted by a pretty woman passing by marked the first time a purely amateur-created aired during the Super Bowl. Frito-Lay, the PepsiCo Inc. division that makes Doritos, ran an online competition to pick the winning spot.
at the sight of a new Chevy HHR rolling down the street.
Katie Crabb, University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point freshman, was the winner of a separate contest by General Motors Corp. and had her idea for an ad made into reality by Chevrolet's marketing division. That ad was true to the tradition of using oddball humor in Super Bowl ads, showing a number of men stripping off their shirts — and some other articles of clothing
Sight gags were back, including one from Bud Light showing a rather unusual tactic for winning at rock-paper-scissors — throwing an actual rock at the head of your opponent. The gag wasn't completely new, however, since last year Sprint Nextel Corp. featured a phone with a "crime deterrent" — which turned out to be throwing the phone at someone's head.
Flood of fans
A lot rides on the ads, and not just because CBS Corp. charges as much as $2.6 million for a 30-second spot during the game. With some 90 million people watching, it's the most-viewed program all year on television.

Board makes flight-path restrictions permanent
BY DEVLIN BARRETT ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Flight restrictions imposed around Manhattan after New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle crashed his single-engine plane into an apartment tower will be made permanent, government documents indicate.
The plan for the rule change was revealed as the National Transportation Safety Board released papers Monday detailing its investigation of the Oct. 11 crash that killed Lidle and his flight instructor.
included in the papers are toxicology reports showing that neither Lidle, 34, nor instruc
The plan — which applies to all big leaguers — contains an exclusion for "any incident related to travel in an aircraft
the NTSB may have trouble reaching a conclusion on that issue.
The issue has financial implications for Lidle's survivors. The life insurance policy Lidle received as a major league baseball player calls for a $450,000 life insurance benefit and has an accidental death benefit of $1.05 million.
However, the plan — which applies to all big leaguers — contains an exclusion for "any incident related to travel in an aircraft ... while acting in any capacity other than as a passenger."
... while acting in any capacity other than as a passenger."
tor Tyler Stanger, 26, had drugs or alcohol in their systems. The NTSB found the airplane's global positioning device and cockpit display unit were too badly damaged by the fiery crash to reveal any information.
Lidle owned the Cirrus SR-20 plane, and had taken it for a midday trip past the State of Liberty and north up the East River. The plane apparently ran into trouble in attempting to turn around and back south back.
The NTSB's documents do not contain final conclusions about what caused the accident but lay out the facts and evidence gathered by investigators.
The agency does not spell out who was at the controls when it crashed, and due to the lack of data recovered from the plane,
That could mean the Lidle family would not be eligible for the $1.05 million.
After the accident, the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily ordered small fixed wing planes not to fly
over the river, which runs along Manhattan's East Side, unless the pilot was in contact with air traffic controllers.
According to the NTSB documents, the FAA on Dec. 12 "indicated that they would be proceeding with a rulemaking action to make the restrictions ... permanently effective."
The restriction remains in place, an FAA spokesman said Monday, but the spokesman could not immediately confirm that the agency planned to make the rule permanent.
Small planes could previously fly below 1,100 feet along the river without filing flight plans or checking in with air traffic control. Lidle's plane had flown between 500 and 700 feet above the river.

BIG 12 FASTBREAK
Biq 12 writer Mark Dent's take on the men's conference race.
RAISE YOUR GLASSES TO...
Texas A&M (19-3, 7-1)
It's doubtful anyone in Lawrence is going to be toasting to this team, but the Aggies earned their biggest victory in program history Saturday night against the lawhaws. Coach Billispie will rank among the best coaches in the game because of what he's done at UTFE and now A&M. The Aggies aren't quite in the same class as national title contenders such as Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin or UCLA, but they are only a notch beneath them. With their impenetrable defense, it would not be surprising to see them make a Final Four run.

The skies couldn't be any sun-
ner in College Station, Texas Texas A&M is in the driver's seat for the Big 12 title Kansas, Oklahoma State and Texas will make the NCAA Tournament barring something very strange, and Kansas State would probably be in if the tournament started today, after its win against Texas Texas Tech and Oklahoma have a lot of work to do to go dancing but still have a chance.
More than a Sunflower
Sunflower Showdown number one has bigger implications than normal this year. Kansas (19-4, 6-2) and Kansas State (17-6, 6-2) will be playing for second place in the Big 12. The Jayhawks definitely have more talent and should be out for revenge after last year's loss in Lawrence, but the Wildcats, winners of six in a row, have all the momentum.
Rivalry Week
It's a great week to see some of the best rivalries in the country, Kansas and Missouri play on Saturday, and Oklahoma and Oklahoma State play on Wednesday. Both match-ups were close earlier this season and should be interesting again this time.
The Dora Watch
The Darryl Dora train keeps chugging right along. For those who didn't know, the Big 12 Fastbreak bet that the Texas Tech forward wouldn't score in double digits the rest of the season after his 18 point game against Kansas. Last week, Dora made zero field goals in 14 minutes against Texas before blowing up for four points against Oklahoma. His team has now lost two in a row.
KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON THE RACE FOR IRRELEVANCE

We all expected the matching tie and highlighter Saturday morning during Gameday, but the stunt Phelps pulled rivaled Evel Knievel's jump over Snake River Canyon. For those who were lucky to miss it, here's the series of unfortunate events. ESPN showed a video clip of Phelps appearing as the Wizard of Oz. Phelps, his face tinted in a green hue, cackled as he warned Kansas to beware of the "B" schools — Bucknell, Bradley and this year, Butler. After the clip aired, silence engulfed the student section, and Kansas coach Bill Self looked like he just had a tooth pulled. For awkward moments, it really doesn't get much better than this.

Coming championship holds no clear favorite
BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS
This year's pick isn't nearly as obvious, with 50 drivers revving their motors in pursuit of dethroning NASCAR's newest champion, Jeff Gordon wants a fifth Nextel Cup title. Tony Stewart is fired up after missing last year's Chase, and Matt Kenseth's goal is to win a second title, this time under a new points system.
Edited by Joe Caponio
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Linnie Johnson was the clear favorite to win last season's Nextel Cup championship, an easy pick after coming so very close so many times before.
But no matter how you break it down, the championship is Johnson's to lose.
"It's hard to win one, much less back to back, and to do anything twice in a row is tough," said Stewart.
who won titles in 2002 and 2005.
"I can go to Vegas and put a whole bunch of money on a number, and to have it hit once is something, but to come back again and have it hit again."
Only seven drivers have won consecutive Cup titles — none since Gordon in 1997 and 1998.
"I am a race car driver, and I want to win championships," he said. "I always wanted to win one, and now I've got it. That whole experience makes you hungry and want to come back and do it again.
Even though the odds are clearly against him, Johnson plans to make a full-speed run at title No. 2.
"I feel with the team and everything that we have (at Hendrick Motorsports), we could be a contender for a few more of these."
Johnson has every reason to believe he can do it again, because
his 2006 title was no fluke. Since entering the Nextel Cup Series five years ago, Johnson consistently has been among NASCAR's top drivers.
The No. 48 team never has been lower than fifth in the standings and was twice runner-up in the championship. That earned Johnson the dubious distinction of being the Peyton Manning of NASCAR — the guy who dominated the regular season, only to come up short when everything was on the line.
When Johnson and crew chief Chad Knaus finally cleared that final hurdle last November, overcoming a disastrous start to the
"The pressure now is not to prove he can be a champion. The pressure is on himself to come back and be in the hunt again."
RICK HENDRICK
NASCAR car owner
"A lot was said that they might not be able to win it, and Jimmie couldn't get it if he didn't get it last year," car owner Rick Hendrick said.
Knaus also learned to delegate but had trouble easing up initially. When he was caught cheating during Daytona 500 preparations, a four-week suspension forced Knaus to slow down. With the crew chief watching from home, Johnson ralled to win at Daytona and again in Las Vegas two weeks later.
Chase, Johnson was freed of that label.
"Well, he did. I think a lot of the pressure is off. The pressure now is not to prove he can be a champion. The pressure is on himself to come back and be in the hunt again."
It again starts with Knaus, who learned valuable lessons last season. First, he realized he had to back off just a bit to sustain the energy and drive Johnson needed over the long 36-race season.
When Knaus returned to the track, he was able to maintain an even pace the rest of the year.
Now, his challenge will be allow.
"You have to give the guys an opportunity to go out there and soak it in and feel a sense of accomplishment," Knaus said. "Because if they are working continuously and they don't get any type of reward for what they have done, they are going to feel like 'Why am I applying myself and working myself to death for nothing?'
ing his guys to celebrate last seasons success without losing the intensity that made them champions.
"The drivers take off and go to France and Italy (during the off-season), but the guys are in here working like crazy. It's a balance that you've got to find, and I think we did a good job. We just have to wait and see."
The mind-set of Knaus and his crew will be just one part of Johnson's success, which also will depend on how he handles his new role as ambassador to the sport.
The demands on Johnson's time have increased, and the spotlight magnifies everything. He learned that the hard way last December when he fell off a golf cart and broke his wrist while goofing around. Reluctant to reveal exactly how he was injured, Johnson had to backtrack when the truth came out.
"It can get overwhelming with the expectations," said Gordon. "Every show, every print and TV, every media, every fan wants more of you. That's a good thing, but at the same time, it can be hard to manage."
"I think we have to go out there and prove ourselves every week," Knaus said. "Anytime somebody rolls into a season or an event thinking that they are the favorite, you are going to get your butt handed to you. So we won't take the mentality that we are the favorites."
The only certainty is Johnson plans to give his pursuit of a repeat title his full attention. Anything else and Knaus knows they'll come up short.
I even try to give opinions about other sports at times. But I love people. I love being around these kids. They make me feel so young just being around them. I've always tried to be enthusiastic and I think that's been my key, and it's really helped me with my popularity on campus. The kids are just phenom- enal to me.
Vitalie: Oh it gives me goose bumps, it really does. I'll never forget getting a special award and a standing ovation here last year. Lew Perkins gave me a layawk. It was a great feeling. I've got it hung up in its office. It's very special to me.
ROBINETT (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
Rohinett: Yeah, everywhere you go they love you. I mean, you walked in here and they were chanting your name. How does that make you feel?
Robinett: I wanted to ask you a question about this year in college basketball. With the new age-limit rule for the NBA, players like Greg Oden or Kevin Durant, who normally would bypass college, are coming for one year just
Vitale: I'd rather see a rule that I've tried to promote, the rule they use in baseball. Once you enter college you have to stay for three years. Except what I would like to see is for the exceptional player like the Odens, Durants, LeBron James, if they want to go right out of high school, let them. I think we should be able to designate four to five high school players who are going to be automatic lottery selections, and if they want to go, they go, while everyone else comes to college and has to stay for three years. I think it would help tremendously. It's the Vitale plan!
Robinett: So, you know I wrote that article last week about how you drop so many names on the air during games.
Vitale: Am I guilty of that attimes? Probably so, but first of all that game was not a good game. It was ugly in the first half, so what you try to do is keep people there.
to leave the next. Do you think this is a good or bad thing for college basketball?
I mean, there are reasons you do some of the things you do. I've been doing this for 28 years and if I weren't doing it in a positive way, would I get the reaction I do from people? Plus, the coaches, players, they come to me all the time and say "Dickie V, we love your spirit, your enthusiasm" I mean, am I going to be perfect? Nobody's perfect. I make mistakes. I get upset at myself at times and ask myself, "Why did you say that?" or "Why did you do that?" I'm my biggest critic.
Robinnett: Let's see, what else was I going to ask you? Ah yes, when did you first notice you were going bald?
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
Vitale: You bet Travis
Robinett: I'm sure it hasn't. Thanks a lot Dick.
Robinett is an Austin, Texas senior in journalism.
Vitale: I lost my hair at a very early age. Bald is sexy though! It's never fazed me.

>> WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
KANSAS VS. COLORADO 7 TONIGHT, ALLEN FIELDHOUSE, LAWRENCE
OFFENSE:
Neither the Jayhawks nor the Buffaloes are going to dazzle the crowd with spectacular offenses. Both teams are ranked near the bottom in most Big 12 Conference statistical categories. Kansas is last in field goal percentage at 39 percent. Colorado is last in assists with 12 per game. The Jayhawks, however, finally have three players they can count on to score every time they take the floor. Senior guard Shaquina Mosley, junior forward Taylor McIntosh and freshman forward Danielle McCray have combined to score 73 percent of Kansas points in its last three games. Colorado forward jackie McFarland averages 18 points a game and is shooting a commendable 63 percent. The Buffaloes second leading scorer Jasmina Illic averages 14 points a game, but only shoots 36 percent, much like Kansas' second leading scorer, freshman guard Kelly Kohn, who is shooting 33 percent. The offenses seemed pretty even until last week when Colorado put up 60 points and 70 points against Kansas State and Texas Tech, respectively. That's more than Kansas has scored in any Big 12 game.
DEFENSE:
Advantage:
Despite their 0-9 conference record, the Jayhawks are usually able to hang with every opponent. This is thanks to their efficiency on the defensive end. Senior guards Shaquina Mosley and Sarahita Smith never lack intensity and make it hard for opponents to get into a rhythm from the perimeter. Inside the paint, Kansas' defensive efforts have been a different story. In the post, teams not only get into rhythm, they march away and win games with it. McFarland's physical style under the basket is precisely what weakens the Jayhawks overall defensive grade. The 6-foot-3 junior is also the Buffalooes' best defensive player, averaging 11 rebounds per game. McFarland's size advantage will also enable her to add to her 24 blocks on the season. The Jayhawks shouldn't test her too much though and will likely settle for more jump shots. Plus, if McIntosh can stay out of foul trouble, she should be able to help Kansas weather the storm inside the paint.
MOMENTUM:
While everyone else is doubling that Kansas will ever win a conference game, coach Bonnie Henrickson and her players are adamant that it's coming, and the persistence is for good reason. The Jayhawks have hung with nearly all team they've faced in the Big 12. The players describe it as hard and frustrating to lose like they are again and again, but they aren't showing it. Game after game, Kansas has a positive outlook and thinks it can win next time. A week ago, it probably looked like a home date against the Buffalooids was the Jayhawks best chance to end the losing streak. At that point, Colorado was next to last in the Big 12 at 2-6. Things have changed. In the last six days, the Buffaloids have beaten both the Wildcats and the Lady Raiders. The Jayhawks lost to each of those teams earlier in the season.

His presence makes game planning easier for A&M coach Billy Gillispie. The team tries to get Law the ball, and then get out of the way while he makes a play.
The lavahawks don't have any one player that dominates the game in clutch situations. Self said that it changed the way he coached, but he thought that his players were good about actively creating plays.
"I don't quite buy into the thinking that everybody is sitting around watching and waiting for somebody
else to do it," he said.
The players agreed that the problems on Saturday were on the defensive end. In the final three possessions of the game the Aggies scored eight points, negating what the Kansas offense was doing on the other end.
"We just have to get into a mode where we can close the game," sophomore forward Julian Wright said. "That's something we have to work on and learn from."
With only one day remain
ing before the K-State game, Set doesnt want his players dwelling on the loss.
"We want it to sting, but not to the point where it affects the next game" he said. "It's not like we didn't play well on Saturday."

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Fans welcome Aggies home
BY DOUG TUCKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nobody seemed to care that it was dark and cold and very late when Texas A&M players and coaches got home Saturday night from what could be a breakthrough victory at Kansas.
People were standing in the cold at the airport to greet them anyway. Many others were waiting at Reed Arena, where the victorious Aggies went to leave their gear before heading home after their 69-66 win.
"There were some people at the airport and a lot of people at Reed," said coach Billy Gillispie, who's drawing national attention for his amazing turnaround of the team in just three seasons.
how nice people are."
"It was really nice. It was something that happens in a lot of places," Gillispie said.
"Hopefully, we're going to create enough excitement that it'll become common. I don't think anyone should expect anything like that, but it's really appreciated. It shows
It also shows how appreciative Aggie fans are of a team that took over first place in the Big 12 with a come-from-behind victory in Kansas' Allen Fieldhouse, where Big 12 South teams had been 0-31 until then.
On Monday, Texas A&M moved up four spots, from No. 10 to No. 6, in The Associated Press college basketball poll. Kansas dropped from No. 6 to No. 9.
Acie Law, the senior guard who scored 10 of Texas A&M's final 13 points, was winner of the Big 12 player of the week award. He was 9-of-18 from the field against the layhawks and had seven assists and two steals.
"Billy's really done a nice job with Acie," said James Dickey, Oklahoma State assistant coach. "I thought he was a very talented player. He came out of a successful high school program. Now he's embraced coach Gillspie's philosophy. He's really matured. He's been a great leader for the Aggies."
The nearly unstoppable 6-foot-9 Durant averaged 34.5 points and 16 rebounds in two games, a victory over Texas Tech and a loss to Kansas State. Against the Red Raiders, he had 37 points and 23 rebounds.
Many are hailing the Big 12's dominant big man as the best college basketball player in the country. Russ Springmann, the assistant who helped head coach Rick Barnes win a national recruiting war to sign Durant out of Sutland, Md., said he has been watching Durant mature.
Chosen Big 12 freshman of the week for the fifth time this year was Texas' Kevin Durant.
and we didn't get stops. In the last nine possessions of the game, they scored 15 points. In our last nine possessions, we scored four points."
"Kevin has embraced the college experience, and he's taken advantage of every opportunity he's had," Springmann said. "He's grown off the court as much or more than he has on the court. He's still only 18. He's learning to manage his time, and becoming a young man."

Law hit A&M's biggest shot of the season when he canned a go-ahead 3-pointer over Brandon Rush with just about 20 seconds left. He then made two free throws to ice the win that sent the Aggies into their game Monday night against Texas in sole possession of first place.
Durant went into the week leading the Big 12 in scoring with 33.1 points per game, 14 points better than Law, who is No. 2. His 13.8 rebounds per game also topped everyone else in the league, as did his field goal percentage of .544.
While Law took control of the game in the final minutes, Kansas seemed to lose its way. It is as though the layhawks, who are with out a senior, are lacking a leader.
"As far as basketball, he's always wanting to learn more, is constantly asking how to work on his game, how he can add to his game," Springmann said. "He can have nights like he did against Texas Tech and he asks, 'How was my defense?' He doesn't want to be a very good player. He wants to be one of the best."
"I would say that has been the case occasionally," said Kansas coach Bill Self. "It hasn't been the case sometimes. We wasted some possessions, but they scored nine points on their last three possessions. You've got to have some stops

DES MOINES. Iowa - It's been nearly a month since Iowa State's comeback win at Missouri, but the momentum the Cyclones gained that night is still paying off.

"Right now, we're not playing the way I'd want us to play," Missouri coach Mike Anderson said. "We've just got to get back in the mode of playing basketball the way were capable of playing."
If history is any indication, the odds are stacked against the Tigers. Missouri hasn't won in Ames since 1999 and is on a four game losing streak against the Cyclones.

But the Tigers have a lot in common with Iowa State. Both have new coaches and inexperienced rosters, and their leading scorers — Taylor and Missouri's Stefhan Hannah — were teammates at Chipola (Fla.) Community College last season.
"It should be an interesting ball game. It's a big ball game for both teams." Anderson said. "Our job is to go in and see if we can steal one on the road."

Vitale talks candidly to columnist
Announcer's call leads to interview
DUKESBURY HIGH SCHOOL
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
"Hello. I'm looking for Travis," a familiar voice said when I answered my phone Saturday afternoon.
"Yeah, this is Travis."
"Hi Travis, this is Dick Vitale."
He wanted to talk about my column from last week
Soon I realized he wasn't thrilled about my criticism, but he defended himself with class and respect. It turned out to be a great conversation. Frankly, I was flattered.
Before it was over I asked for an interview. He agreed and told me to meet him inside Allen Fieldhouse when I got to the game. So without further introduction, here is the interview I had with Dick Vitale:
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Robinnett: You've been announcing basketball a long time and have seen a lot of games. How do you think the game has changed since you retired from coaching and began announcing?
Robinett: Yeah, I've heard you talk a lot about the lost art of the mid-range jump shot.
Vitale: It's been 28 years since I began broadcasting games. I still act like I'm 12 even though I'm 67. Basically the players have gotten a lot quicker and more athletic. I think there's so much in the way of weight training and all the specialization today. Physical training programs have made the athletes so much quicker and more agile. What the players haven't improved on are the fundamentals: passing and shooting the basketball.
Vitale: Well, you know everybody wants to jam. Everybody wants to be a Michael Jordan, play above the rim, and they forget about working on the elements and the parts of the game that make you a complete player.

Robinett: As basketball has evolved, your announcing style has to have evolved as well. How do you think your approach to announcing basketball games has changed over the years, or has it?
**Vitale:** Well you know I've always tried to take it with an attitude that you educate and you entertain. Were in the entertainment business. That's my job and I try to have a lot of fun.

Self looks back to Texas A&M game to get ready for K-State
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Sunday was a day off for the Jayhawk players, but coach Bill Self was busy analyzing the video of Saturday's loss to Texas A&M. After multiple viewings, he came to a conclusion.
It's likely to be the same story Wednesday when Kansas State visits Allen Fieldhouse. The two teams are tied for second place in the Big 12 Conference.
In practice this week, Self said the most important thing he will
"We actually played pretty good Saturday," he said. "That was two good teams playing."
The Jayhawks will also attempt to keep their focus throughout the second half of important games. Self said that every team loses its focus on occasion, but the players need to realize which possessions are critical. With the Jayhawks up 11 and only nine minutes remaining to play, they allowed the Aggies to slip back into the game.

"We let him get loose at the end of the game, and he was clutch," Rush said.

Kansas tries again for first Big 12 victory
BY ASHER FUSCO
In a season full of inconsistency, one constant has been Kansas' inability to defend near the basket. Texas Tech, Nebraska, Baylor and Iowa State have all enjoyed offensive success against the Kansas frontcourt.
Jackie McFarland will attempt to add Colorado to that list when the Buffalooes visit Allen Fieldhouse tonight. McFarland, a 6-foot-3 junior forward, has cemented herself as one of the best players in the Big 12 Conference, tallying nearly 19 points and 11 rebounds per game.
The Derby native is precisely the kind of player who has given the Jayhawks fits. She is tall and versatile, with the capability to occasionally step out and make a jump shot. McFarland is second in the conference in both scoring and rebounding, and first in field-goal percentage.
Although junior forward Taylor McIntosh is a capable defender, she has struggled to stay out of foul trouble. Saturday at Texas A&M. McIntosh single-handedly kept the Jayhawks in the game during the first half, but left the game after being charged with her fourth toul early in the second half.
Freshmen forwards Porscha Weddington and Danielle McCray failed to provide adequate defense during a 13-0 run that ultimately decided the game.
If McIntosh winds up in foul trouble early, Weddington will be called upon to guard McFarland.
Weddington may be the most athletically gifted player on the Kansas team. Standing several inches shorter than many opponents, she has grabbed more than five rebounds per Big 12 contest thanks to her long reach. She possesses an outstanding leaping ability that allowed her to dunk in practice earlier this season.
However, Weddington's immense potential has not turned into consistent production at either end of the floor. Her tentative nature has hindered her scoring and she has surrendered easy baskets on multiple occasions.
"She's a very, very talented kid. Henrickson said. "If she had half the confidence in herself that we have in her I think wed see more production."
Outside of McFarland, Colorado does not possess much offensive firepower. For ward Jasmina Ilic has proven assertive but inefficient on the offensive end, shooting 31 percent from three point range. Point guard Whitney Houston is regarded as one of the best freshmen in the Big 12, but has more turnovers than assists.
Luckily for the Jayhawks, the Buffaloes rarely offer much in the way of defense. An ineffective Kansas offense could finally get a chance to put some points on the board against the last ranked defense in the Big 12 conference.
With McCray and senior guard Shaquina Mosley finding their offensive rhythm, tonight's game could be the Jayhawks' best chance to win a conference game.
The Buffaloes are 10-11 overall and 4-5 in conference play, good for eighth in the Big 12.

Hall Holt said Wake Forest was the most talented team the Jayhawks have faced thus far.
Two layhawk players who played well were junior Lauren Hommell, and sophomore Yuliana Swiston. Hommell had a confidence-building straight-sets win against Syracuse.
"They are ranked 19th, and if you don't looked at the scores but the points, we played with them," she said. "We're really not that far behind, we're just beat up."
"We have a lot of work to do, but we can bounce back and be very competitive," Hall-Holt said.
and Svistum picked up the lone singles victory against Wake Forest. The No. 1 doubles team of Elizaveta Avdeeva and Edina Horvath ran its record to 5-0 on Saturday against Syracuse, but suffered its first loss on Sunday to Wake Forest.

A new look for Lawrence
Walking distance key in firm's vision for future city growth
BY MATT ERICKSON
Get out of your car, and lace up your walking shoes. This is what PlaceMakers, a national consulting firm hired by the city, would like Lawrence residents to do in the future.
Bill Dennis, director of design for PlaceMakers, said PlaceMakers wanted to make Lawrence into a "city of neighborhoods." These neighborhoods would contain housing, offices and commercial businesses, all within about a quarter-mile radius — or within walking distance.
After a weeklong planning workshop, PlaceMakers presented its recommendations for growth and development in Lawrence at the city commission meeting Tuesday night.
Susan Henderson,
PlaceMakers workshop leader,
said the team recommended
revamping some shopping areas,
like those at 23rd and Louisiana
streets and 25th and Iowa
streets.
Some neighborhoods would cater to students with lower-priced housing options, along with restaurants and bars that might attract a college-aged crowd.
"You want to develop places
the safe residential buildings — including apartments, town homes and other student-friendly housing options — could mix with the retail businesses in these areas, which would create places close to campus where students could walk to restaurants, bars and other destinations.
all over your city where once you arrive by car, you can walk 5 minutes and do all different kinds of things," Dennis said.
Dennis said the PlaceMakers team recommended dividing Massachusetts Street into sections that would appeal to different groups of people — including one section he called a "college street" where students

"That brings more cool places to live, where you can walk for pizza or walk to the pub." Henderson said.
could head to go to the restaurants, bars and entertainment venues that would appeal to them.
Dennis recommended filling in gaps on Vermont and New Hampshire streets to make them resemble Massachusetts Street, with closely built retail shops with residential or office areas above them. He said this could allow small business owners to live in the same property where they run a retail business, which would create more opportunities for locally-owned businesses.
However, Dennis said the PlaceMakers plan would also provide places for large chains such as McDonald's.
"You can still have every use you have in today's society, but we're concerned with the form of it and what it looks like," Dennis said.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE
BY JOE HUNT
Bill could force landlords to warn about renewals
Students who don't read rental contracts may be in luck.
The Student Legislative Awareness Board introduced a bill to the Kansas Legislature in January that would require landlords to warn tenants a month in advance of an automatic lease renewal. A lease could not be automatically renewed until there are less than two months left on the current lease.
Landlords have been able to get away with making the deadlines so early because there have been no laws that set a time line for automatic lease renewals.
Currently, a lease is automatically renewed however tar in advance a landlord specified in the original lease agreement.
Ian Staples, legislative director of Student Senate, said that the bill would lessen confusion and make landlords more responsible.
"This is clarification and it makes actual damages for landlords that do things in bad faith," Staples said.
Tae Chung, legal intern at Legal
Services for Students, said that lease renewals were one of the biggest legal problems students faced.
"Half the people that come in here don't even know what an automatic renewal clause is," Chung said. "Usually they have to torfeit the deposit to reshape the situation."
The bill would also create two other laws to protect tenants. One would require landlords to provide a detailed list showing what was deducted from a tenant's security deposit. The other would prohibit landlords from holding tenants responsible for damages if the landlord failed to go through the inventory process correctly by going over the list with the tenant and having both parties sign the inventory.
Chung said he had seen contracts that require the tenant to terminate the lease up to four months before it runs out.

One-year-old hall upholds traditions
Some initially questioned the decision to change the face of Allen Fieldhouse.
BY KYLE CARTER
The Booth Family Hall of Athletics welcomed more than 27,000 visitors in the first year since its addition to the front of Allen Fieldhouse, curator Candace Dunback said.
The Hall is home to thousands of memorabilia items documenting the history of sports at the University of Kansas and also features reader rails describing the history in text.
"I was a little uneasy at first," said William Nether, a Wichita graduate student who was camping out for
tickets to the game against Kansas State on Wednesday. "I thought it was a shame to mess with such a historical building."
Nether said he checked out the Hall soon after its completion to see how it turned out.
"I'm okay with it now," he said. "There's some interesting factoids in there."

Dunback said about half of the items on display were being loaned to the Hall and the other half were donated permanently. She said the largest number of donations came from family members of former athletes.

Liz Stuewe
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
"If Hillary Clinton were a man Id still vote for her, but it's the cherry on top of the sunshine that she's a woman." Stuewe said. "We need more women in politics 50 percent of the population is female and is missing a huge voice."
When Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.N.Y.) announced her candidacy for President, Lawrence junior Liz Stuewe mailed a $25 check to Clinton's campaign. Stuewe, a self-proclaimed feminist, is putting her support behind Clinton not only because she sees a need for more women in politics, but because she
ambitions in life. Stuee serves as the president of the University's Commission on the Status of Women. Stuee was quick to point out that CSW was not just an organization for women — men are encouraged to get involved as well. "I want to see as many students as possible at CSW events," she said. "Male and female and students, staff and faculty."
Gender equality and "promoting a world where women are taken seriously" are just some of Stuews
feels Clinton is a good candidate.
Growing up in Lawrence. Stueve cultivated a love for activism from the environment she was raised in.
"I grew up around a lot of activists and people who work for social justice," she said. "I caught that bug."
The eighth-generation Kansan could see the University from her front porch growing up, but she still wasn't convinced that the University was the place for her. She visited many universities before realizing that she didn't want to give up her involvement in local organizations. Stuewe
said she realized that by attending the University, she wouldn't have to give up her passions to get a good education. She arrived here as an elementary education major but soon became a double major in political science and American studies.
Though she sees herself as "100 percent feminist," she said that term often gets misunderstood. The word feminist, Stuewe said, simply means gender equality.
I'm not a crazy man hater. I watch football, I play video games. I also love to spend hours talking with my girlfriends and watching Mandy Moore movies", Stueve said. "I don't have to fit into gender constraints. People assume feminism means something bad, but I proudly say it".

The Booth Hall of Athletics is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Kane Kane, former Kansas linebacker and current graduate assistant, works at the Hall. He estimates about 40 people tour the hall on a weekday.
Though changing the tradition-rich fieldhouse worried some, the content of the Hall is a history lesson in itself. Displays document the previous home courts of Kansas basketball, Wilt Chamberlain's performance in the Kansas Relays as a high jumper, the football team's victory in the Fort Worth Bowl in 2005 and countless other moments in Kansas athletics history.
To get their fix of the present in Kansas Athletics, many visitors stop by the adjacent KUStore.com location.
Temple said the basketball jerseys of freshmen Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur sold best.
"It's a madhouse in here on game days," said sales associate Brett Temple.
Kevin Kane, former Kansas line backer and current graduate assistant, works in the Hall. He said the display case that holds the 1988 and 1952 men's basketball National Championship trophies were the most popular.
Kane said the biggest crowds showed up during halftime and immediately after basketball games, on family weekends and before football games. He estimated that about 40 people toured the Hall on normal weekdays. The Hall is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and admission is
free except during basketball games. During games, visitors must have a ticket to be admitted to the Hall.
Kane said Wayne Simien planned to lend his NBA championship ring he earned with the Miami Heat for display in a few weeks.
Due to a lack of space, Dunback said much of the memorabilla in her possession remained in storage.
she said.
"We have a ton of artifacts in our possession and we've got to figure out how we want to rotate them,"

》 STUDENT SENATE
New coalition focuses on students' rights
BY ASHLEE KIELER
A new Student Senate coalition announced its bid for the spring elections.
Wilson will be running for student body president on the coalition's ticket. His running mate will be Caitlin Ballard, Overland Park junior.
The Students Rights coalition, founded by Johnathan Wilson, Paola sophomore, will stand for students' rights, including tuition costs and textbook prices.
The coalition formed out of Wilson's desire to make a difference in the University of Kansas. He said being progressive in student rights was important to him.
"I'm just trying to make it through college myself and I realize how hard it is and how difficult it is for other students." Wilson said.
Higher education for a lower price is the heart of the Students Rights platform for election.
Tuition costs have become a big issue for students, sometimes causing them to take semesters off or work 30 hours a week. Ballard
said.
Wilson said he also wanted to focus on lowering textbook costs. Other platform issues have not been released.
Wilson ran for freshman/sophomore senator last spring on the $100 Fee Cut ticket. Ballard served as freshman/sophomore president at the University of St. Mary before transferring to the University.
Wilson thinks student body leaders should collaborate with the student body.
"I want to work closely with the student body to know exactly what they want." Wilson said.
Wilson and Ballard planned to spread word of their coalition by making personal contact with students and word of mouth.
Kansan staff writer Ashlee Kieler can be contacted at akieler@ kansan.com.
"It's easy to feel lost on a big campus like this, so we want to connect with people on a personal level." Ballard said.

>> GAY FOOTBALL PLAYER
Former pro lineman shares story
He won the Pac 10's Morris trophy, played nine years as a defensive lineman in the NFL, and went to Super Bowl XXXIII, but concealing his homosexuality was a game Esera Tuaulo was losing.
Born and raised on Oahu Island in Hawaii. Tuaolo started his football career by moving to California during high school. From there, he played for Oregon State University and continued to keep his sexual orientation private. Tuaolo was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1990 and still fought to keep his homosexual a secret from his team and family.
Tuaolo recalled the difficulty he had in pretending to be straight. He said it was horrible to listen to coaches and teammates berating gay men, calling them "faggots," and pretending he felt the same.
"I wanted to hide and kick myself,
"Huaoolo. "I didn't want
1234567890
publicity and I was so afraid that someone was going to out me"
Tuaolo now serves as an educator, touring the country to speak about homosexuality On Tuesday night, Tuaolo spoke as a happy, enthusiastic gay man wanting others to understand how homosexuality has shaped his life, but has not defined it.
Tuaolo, who suffered from depression, turned to alcohol to help with the pressures he faced as a gay man in a macho sport.
He came out to his family, and everyone else, soon after he met his partner, Mitchell Wherley, ten years ago.
"I didn't want to have to lie anymore." Tinola said. "It was a huge burden that came off, but when I stepped up on the scale, I was still 310 pounds."
Tuaolo's humor kept the audience entertained as he spoke about who he was now. A husband and father of two, Tuaolo enjoys his family and friends and is starting his career as a singer. He began "tuesday night by singing "Arms of an Angel" as he walked up and down the aisle, Super Bowl ring shining on his right hand, Tuaolo said he hoped to educate players and coaches about other gay athletes and deal with negative attention and stereotypes.
"I think that once you start to educate people on trying to eliminate those negative words, that's when you grow as a society." Tuaoloa said.
Students at the event responded positively to what tuaolo had to say about acceptance.
"It's always interesting when you hear someone talk about their real life," said Nathan Markley, Wellington senior. "He was really honest and open, and his story's a unique one."
Tauolo closed the evening by singing "Imagine All the People," signing his book "Alone in the Trenches," and encouraging the audience to "spread the love."
"I think it needs to be said," Spriggs said. "And especially coming from him people will listen."
Kansan staff writer Katy Blair can be contacted at kblair@kansana. com.
Student Union Activities sponsored the event after one student brought the idea to their attention. Tiffany Spriggs, Princeton, W.Va., graduate student, said she felt it was important for Tuauolo to speak because homosexuality was taboo in athletics, especially for men.

NASA/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Astronaut Lisa M. Nowak works with the Mobile Service System (MSS) and Caramadii2 controls in the Destiny laboratory of the International Space Station while Shuttle Discovery was docked to the station in July, 2013. A was charged yesterday with attempted murder.
Astronaut charged with attempted murder
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORLANDO, Fla. — She was the Robochick. He was Billy-O.
According to police, her obsession with him led her to drive 900 miles from Houston to Orlando, bringing with her a trenchcoat and wig, armed with a BB gun and pepper spray, and wearing a diaper to avoid bathroom breaks on the arduous drive.
Once in Florida, Lisa "Robochick" Nowak apparently confronted the woman she believed was her rival for the affections of William "Billy O" Oefelein. And this tawdry love triangle has one more twist — it involves two astronauts.
Nowak, 43, a married mother of three who flew on a space shuttle in July, was charged with attempted murder, accused of hatching an extraordinary plot to kidnap Colleen Shipman, who she believed was romantically involved with Ofefein, a space shuttle pilot.
Specifically, police said. Nowak confronted Shipman, who was in her car at the Orlando airport, and sprayed something at her, possibly pepper spray.
At first the astronaut was charged with attempted kidnapping and other counts. Then prosecutors upped the charge to attempted murder, basing it on the weapons and other items they said police had found with Nowak or in her car: pepper spray, a BB-gun, a new steel mallet, knife and rubber tubing.
Nowak was released from jail on $25,500 bail and ordered to wear a monitoring device.
Her lawyer, Donald Lykkebak,
took issue with the most serious
charges.
"In the imaginations of the police officers, they extend these facts out into areas where the facts can't be supported," Lykebak said.
NASA put Nowak on a 30-day leave and removed her from mission duties. Agency spokesman John Ira Petty at Johnson Space Center in Houston said he was concerned about the people involved and their families. But, he added, "We try not to concern ourselves with our
employees' personal lives."
The details of the relationships of all three were unclear. Nowak and Oeilefnie, who both live in the Houston area, had trained together as astronauts, but never flew into space together. Shipman, 30, works at Patrick Air Force Base near Kennedy Space Center.
Earlier, Nowak was quoted by police as saying she and Oefelein had something "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship"
Neither Oeeleim nor Shipman could be reached for comment Tuesday, nor could Nowak's husband be found.
But police found letter in Nowak's car that "indicated how much Mrs. Nowak loved Mr. Oeefele, the arrest affidavit said. And Nowak had copies of e mails between Shipman and Oeefele.
"Personally, Lisa is an extremely caring and dedicated mother to her three children," the statement said. "Considering both her personal and professional life, these alleged events are completely out of character and have come as a tremendous shock to our family."
Accustomed to wearing astronaut diapers during the space shuttle's launch and return to Earth, Nowak wore them on the drive to Orlando so she would not have to make bathroom stops, police said.
Nowak and her husband separated several weeks ago after 19 years of marriage, according to a statement put out by her family.
There, according to police, Nowak donned a wig and trench coat, boarded an airport shuttle bus with Shipman and followed her to her car. Then, crying, Nowak sprayed a chemical into the car.
A police affidavit made public Tuesday said Nakaw had "stealthily followed the victim while in disguise and possessed multiple deadly weapons."
Shipman drove to a parking lot booth and sought help.
The affidavit said the circumstances of the case "create a well-founded fear" and gave investigators "probable cause to believe that
lykkbak said that Nowak only wanted to talk to Shipman. Asked about the weapons, he said, "You can sit and speculate all day."
A vague profile began to emerge of Nowak, who graduated from high school in Maryland in 1981 and the U.S. Naval Academy in 1985. She has won various Navy service awards.
Nowak, in a NASA interview last year, before her mission aboard Discovery, as well as in an interview with ABC News, spoke about the strain her career placed on her family. She has twint 5-year girls and a son who is 14 or 15.
In a September interview with Ladies' Home Journal, Nowak said her husband, Richard, "works in Mission Control, so he's part of the whole space business, too. And supportive also."
Mrs. Nowak intended to murder Ms. Shippman."
The judge also ordered Nowak to stay away from Shipman and to wear an electronic monitoring device upon returning to her home in Houston.
On Tuesday, a Houston neighbor, Bryan Lam, told The Associated Press that in November he heard the sounds of dishes being thrown inside the house and the police came.
"It's a sacrifice for our own personal time and our families and the people around us," she said in the NASA interview, "But I do think it's worth it because if you don't explore and take risks and go do all these things, then everything will stay the same."
"I've seen them arguing before' he said.
In an in-flight news conference aboard Discovery last summer, she talked about waiting nearly 10 years for her first space flight. "It's been a long wait, but it's worth the wait," she said.
NASA astronauts often have nicknames, at least among their crewmates and Mission Control. Aboard Discovery last July, Nowak and cremate Stephanie Wilson were known as "the Robochicks" because they operated the shuttle's robotic arm that checked the spacecraft for damage.

Pop star cooks naked
to enice in marriage
to spice up play
NEW WORK — Christina Aguilera has no problem showing skin — especially on weekends with her husband, music executive Jordan Bratman.
"We claim ourselves to be the coziest couple ever. We have something called "naked Sundays," the 26-year-old pop star tells Ellen DeGeneres in an interview set to air today on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
"You have to keep marriage alive, spice it up," says Aguilera, who married Bratman in November 2005. So the couple stays in on Sundays, so she says "We do everything naked. We cook naked."
"You cook naked?" asks DeGeneres.
Aguillera replies: "Yeah, we cook naked."
"Nothing with grease — that could splatter," says DeGeneres.
"Well, unless you want the grease." Aguilera replies.
NEW YORK — In the sensitive post-wardrobe malfunction world, some are questioning whether a guitar was just a guitar during Prince's Super Bowl halftime show.
Prince's acclaimed performance included a guitar solo during the "Purple Rain" segment of his medley in which his shadow was projected onto a large, flowing beige sheet. As the 48-year-old rock star let rip, the silhouette cast by his figure and his guitar (shaped like the singer's symbol) had phallic connotations for some.
A number of bloggers have decried "Malfunction!" — including Sam Anderson at New York magazine's Daily Intelligencer. Daily News television critic David Bianculli called it "a rude-looking shadow show" that "looked embarrassingly rude, crude and unfortunately placed"
CBS spokesman Dana McClintock said Tuesday that the network has received "very few" complaints on Prince's performance. CBS last aired the Super Bowl in 2004 when Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's "wardrobe malfunction" sparked criticism and a subsequent crackdown on broadcast decency from the Federal Communications Commission.
But this time, it was the NFL that produced the half-time show (MTV had in 2004). Spokesman Greg Aiello said the league had received no complaints.
"We respect other opinions, but it takes quite a leap of the imagination to make a controversy of his performance," Alexo said. "It's a guitar."

U.S. must stop global warming
Within the lifetimes of most KU students, the global warming debate has evolved from fringe topic of concern to heated clash of warring causes. The rhetoric has accelerated in recent years as climate scientists continued to warn of looming danger, even as Senator James Inhofe, the recently departed chairman of the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee, denounced global warming as a hoax. The cause was even hurt in popular culture by books like "State of Fear," the bestseller of dubious scientific foundation whose author, the once great Michael Crichton, received an award from the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
But last Friday's report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated that global warming could now be considered "unequivocal" and that there was 90 percent certainty that human activity is driving the trend. The tone of the debate is prepared to shift. For those who would denounce this report as merely the work of high-handed United Nations scientists, consider this; the Wall Street Journal recently reported that energy company lobbyists are quietly acknowledging the reality of global warming, simply to engineer their own changes before a government forces change upon them. The existence of global

According to the e-mail I got from KU, the government now controls time. Awesome.
But the good news, according to the panel, is that we can alter the effects of global warming by taking prompt and decisive action. While it is too late to completely blunt the outcome for the very near future, the livelihood of our planet tomorrow can be aided by action today. The most obvious areas that require immediate change are fossil fuel effects, including the continued burning of oil and coal. Investments in alternative and clean energy have been granted only lip service for too long, and continued exploration and development in these areas is vital.

测
Though "global" warming inherently requires a "global" solution, the United States must take the lead in this policy fight. With a scant five percent of the world's population, we as a nation produce roughly a quarter of emissions, giving us the ignoble title of world leader. This is a perfect opportunity for us to use our global clout and leadership for an urgent cause, and to set the agenda for the rest of the world. The United States must act now to avert the impending consequences of global warming.

This is for all those people who have searched endlessly down isles full of office supplies looking for answers in 20-packs of ballpoint pens. This is not a guide to what pen is best suited to a college student's needs, though. It simply is a reminder that looking like a good student doesn't make you one.
Last night, I was sitting in my English class, and I watched this graduate student who looked like he belonged in some sort of Calvin Klein ad (the stubble, the white unbuttoned shirt, the curly black hair), preparing for class. And I was thinking this guy looks like he has it together. He's an English grad. He looks organized with his file folders, legal pad, highighter and $5 dollar pen. He actively participating, and he just made a Yeats joke. The teacher is laughing.
Now you might not like or even be familiar with W. B. Yeats. But you are familiar with that student that has it together, that seems to somehow be connected with the teacher.
It's like he read the lesson plan before class started.
No surprise that this is the same student who gets As on all his tests and

Growing the stubble should be easy enough. As for the rest, I'll go to Office Depot and buy some file folders and legal pads. Maybe they'll even match. As for the pen, spare no expense.
And as I wondered looking for a Dr. Grip, I thought: whom am I kidding? There is no shopping spree in the world that would cover the pens and paper clips I would need to raise myself to this guy's level.
But what was more alarming was

that I had actually considered that office supplies would turn things around. I actually convinced myself, and the friend that gave me a ride, that these multi-enabled Players
multi-colored flags
would be the difference between an undergrad and a graduate student.
But like I said at the beginning, this is a column for those who suffer from a similar misconception: that pens and legal pads can change the kind of student you are. After all, I come to bury office supplies, not praise them.
Wait a second; I just made a Shakespeare joke. And from one of my favorite plays, too. That part in "Julus Caesar" where Mark Antony turns to Antony and says "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him."
Sure, it maybe over-quoted just a little bit, but it marks the beginning of a speech designed to manipulate the public. In essence, it's how every politician after Anthony wants to start his speech but can't because it's already been written. And not by a politician but by a bard.
I can really get into this English thing, which is seems like such a better investment than trying to match this grad student in appearance and knowledge. This will prove to be good for my sense of individualism and my wallet. I think that sometimes I get caught up in trying to look like a good student and forget just to be one.
Luckily I'm in Shakespeare this semester, and we won't be covering tragedies until the end of the semester.
Plenty of time for me to come into some folders.

Sunny delight:solar panels needed at KU
One night I sat in my room with a few friends and used Google Earth. None of us had looked at the program in a while, but we were discussing spring break plans and decided to look around the United States to see where we could go. We noticed the resolution of the remote areas in some of the states were substantially crisper than in past experiences using the program. We scrolled over to The University of Kansas to see how the images have changed in our neck of the woods.
To our surprise the images were very clear. We could see the painted layhawk in the middle of the football stadium and our cars parked on the streets. We then looked at the tops of all the buildings on campus, but the detail on the buildings wasn't the kind of detail that was on the football field. It wasn't because of the clarity of the images but the reflection of the sun off the roofs of the buildings distorted the images.
It was recently reported in the Kansas that the University received a barely passing grade of a C- on greening practices and endowment policies.

Our University seems like a very good candidate for this type of renewable energy. As Google Earth showed, we have many buildings on our campus that are free of obstruction and would allow for sunlight to contact solar panels.
》 SUBMISSIONS
California State University recently teamed up with SunEdison the largest solar energy company in the country, to construct solar panels on top of buildings on campus. According to Chico News, CSU's newspaper, "SunEdison is covering the $2.8 million cost to install and operate the solar arrays over the course of a 20-year contract with the University." Within three years the energy savings from the solar panels will offset the cost of the installation.

This was not mere "confusion", as Marchiony would have us believe, but a grievous error that could have been avoided if the Athletics Department would get their priorities straight. Instead of blaming students for saving seats, Jim Marchiony, Lew Perkins, and the rest of the Department, who are only interested in profits, should apologize to the students who waited in the cold. Students should come first at The University of Kansas and not shoulder the blame for the incompetence and greed of their Athletics Department.

Despite arriving over an hour and a half before tip-off, the security guards informed the throng of students that the game had been oversold by several hundred tickets. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, however, blamed students already in the fieldhouse for saving seats and refusing to move.

KU fans continue camping rituals of those who went before them
BY ZACH RAINEY
Students enter Allen Fieldhouse at 6 a.m. the morning after a home basketball game to take part in the Kansas Basketball's biggest tradition — camping.
Hundreds of KU students gather in groups with hopes of scoring the first spot in line to get tickets for the next home game. In order to get them, the groups draw numbered poker chips. For every five members of the group that are present it gets one chip; each has a number on it that determines where they will be in line. However, no group could have more than 30 people present. If a group gets more than one chip, it gets to keep the best spot drawn. If a group does not get one, it has to sign up at the back of the line.
Following the lottery, at least one member from every group must be present. A roll call is done at random times between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. on weekends. If a group is not present, it is bumped to the back of the line.
Danielle Englert, Wichita senior, said that the necessities of every shift are pillows, blankets, air mattresses, some form of entertainment and comfy clothes.

"The best part is that no one is going to judge you for showing up in raggedy clothes or because you did not shower yet because the sun is not even up when you get there." Englert said. "No one really can judge you for that because they're all in the same boat as you."
Looking around the fieldhouse, the things the campers bring and wear seem to be part of the tradition. Arin Bernard, Overland Park freshman, was camping on an air mattress and chatting online via the fieldhouse's wireless Internet connection.
"It's a big tradition," Bernard said. "Everyone from years past has been doing it so we carry it on as best we can."
Naomi Rice, Boston freshman, said. "It's the epitome of KU culture. It shows our support for our sports teams and lets them know the students are behind them all the way."
Rici spends most of her shifts sleeping in a tent that her group, the Oliver Fourth Floor Fight Club, pitches. When they're not asleep, the campers do their homework, read, Facebook or watch movies on their computers.
However, once homework is done, the real fun begins.
"For the Texas A&M game my group and the group next to us started talking," Ricci said. "We ended up playing charades with each other."
Bernard said he has had several reamions with old friends while camping out.
Whether you knew them before camping or not, all campers share a common bond.
"Everyone is as big of a fanatic as you are" Englert said. "Who else would spend 15 hours a week just for a two hour basketball game? We're all obsessed and we're not afraid to show it."
Another thing about camping that everyone seems to like is students have complete control of what goes on.
"It's definitely the furthest way to get tickets. It shows that we are not out there to screw over other students because we are all equal here. Everyone has an equal chance to get good seats." Englert said.

These equal chances do not come easy though. Some students, such as Englert, average tour or five hours a day while others, like Ricci, have had shifts as long as seven hours.
Kansan correspondent Zach Rainey can be contacted at editor@kansan.com
Whether they are first or last in line, every camper is in it for the same reason: They want to show support for their lajhawks and carry on the tradition into the future.

Both teams in Big 12 title race
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Here's the setup: the Jayhawks are up 12 points in the second half. After a few costly turnovers, the opponent chips away at the lead, ultimately winning the game 59-55 in the final minutes.
Afterward, coach Bill Self tells reporters that the team "had a lot of bad possessions in the last 10 minutes."
That was the scene in Lawrence
on jan. 14, 2006, as the layhawks lost to the Wildcats in a game that could have been ripped straight from this year's playbook.
"That wasn't a great feeling," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said of that game. "It was pretty bad at the end, when they were stomping on the Jayhawk."
The lahayws will look to build on their one game winning streak against the Wildcats tonight. Tip-off is at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse
For the first time in a long time, the rivalry has implications beyond just bragging rights. The winner will take sole possession of second place in the Big 12 Conference.

Mark Dent
Huggins brings winning attitude
BY MARK DENT
The stigma of a DUI still hangs over his head. Graduation rates may never be his main priority. And his players have had enough run-ins with the law to warrant building a private prison on the campus where he coaches.
But Bob Huggins is best known as a winner, and he has proven that during his first season at Kansas State (17-6, 6-2 Big 12).
"I thought it was a great hire," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It brought instant interest to our league and primarily to K-State."
Interest that hadn't been present since the 1980s when their teams featured stars such as Mitch Richmond and Rolando Blackmon. Plus, the Wildcats are winning, Kansas State has won six conference games in a row and seven overall.
This is what college basketball fans expected when Huggins was hired last March. The man who had reached 14 straight NCAA Tournaments at Cincinnati brought immediate change to a struggling program.
Ticket sales skyrocketed. Nike's Jordan Brand wanted to design new uniforms. The team took on Huggins' gritty style.
"Their whole team is going to be physical and tough," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "They've changed and the emphasis is now on defense and being tough."
Recruits who previously wouldn't have known the Kansas town of Manhattan from the New York borough have started to notice the Wildcats' new coach, Freshmen Jason Bennett and Luis Colon signed in the spring and are already contributing to the Wildcat wins. Junior college transfer Blake Young has also been a big help for K-State this season. Last fall Huggins inked an even bigger recruit, Bill Walker, who only played in six games before tearing his ACL. Next year Huggins has arguably the best recruiting class in the country, which includes *Rivals*, com No. 1 prospect Michael Beasley.
Instead of just building for the future, Huggins has improved the present team. Last year, former coach Jim

Mosley's overtime heroics secure win
In last week's game against Texas Tech, Shaquina Mosley had a chance to win the game at the buzzer. But instead of driving to the basket, the senior guard settled for a jumper.
Tuesday night, Mosley learned her lesson.
With four seconds remaining in overtime in the 70-68 victory against the Colorado Buffaloes, she drove the lane for a game winning layup.
"I was just thinking it to the rim, don't just settle for a jump shot."
Moslev said.
After coming so close game-aftergame, Kansas (7-16, 1-9) finally won its first Big 12 Conference game.

Luckily for Ryan Murphy, someone will always be there to help him fight through the two-a-day practices in the searing August heat. The same could be said for Brian Murphy.
The transition from high school to Division I-A football is jarring. Opponents are faster, practices are longer and the coaches are more demanding. The pressure of balancing academics and athletics has ended the careers of many promising football players.

Junior pitcher Hiarall Garcia and Andres Esquibel are adjusting to life as a Jayhawk after transferring from junior colleges for the 2007 season. Kansas brought in seven transfers this year.
Transfers adjust to Kansas
BY ALISSA BAUER
When Andres Esquibel's plane landed in Kansas, the Oceanside, Calif., native took one look at the snow-covered ground and thought to himself, "Oh my God, what am I getting myself into?"
Fellow junior right-handed pitcher Harali Garcia also transferred to Kansas this year. Unlike Esquibel, Garcia spent both his freshman and sophomore years at a junior college.
At Eastern Oklahoma State, where the Windsor, Ontario, native went before coming to Kansas, Garcia was selected NJCAA All-Region II in 2006. This was the same season he struck out 89 batters while walking only 22. However, Garcia is under no illusion that success at a junior college means success as a Big 12 Conference pitcher, but he is picking up on the differences.
"But the snow and everything wasn't that bad," Esquibel said. "I kind of liked it — it was something new."
The cold weather isn't the only thing Esquibel will be getting used to. The junior right-hander is adjusting to new collegiate surroundings for the third time in three years. Transferring from one college to another can be a difficult process, even when the previous experiences include a fellow Division I school.
"My freshman year I was at San Diego State so I pitched against the Texases, the Long Beaches and North Carolinas and I did well." Esquibel said, "So coming here it's given me a lot of experience knowing that I can do that already. I'm just ready to start playing."
With adjustment comes experience, as Esquibel spent his freshman year on the mound for San Diego State and last year at Palomar Junior College. Named honorable mention all-league at Palomar in 2006. Esquibel is once again getting used to Division 1 baseball.
"If anything I already know it's going to be quick paced." Garcia said. "I've got to be on top of my game and in top shape day in and day out so throughout the season I'll be able to contribute. It's definitely a higher level of ball. Nonetheless, down in Oklahoma we had competition, but this is totally different."
Much like this year's line up.
This season the Kansas roster contains 10 transfers from different colleges; all but two of those transfers came from a junior college. Although the time at junior college is not Division 1 caliber, it does provide a beneficial stepping stone from high school to the NCAA.
Replacing the talented crew of seniors that led the lajayhawks last season has been anything but easy for coach Ritch Price and staff. Price has said he believed in recruiting his talent from high schools and supplementing his line up with experienced, quality junior college transfers.
"I've seen guys swing wood and I've seen guys swing aluminum," Garcia said. "I guess the maturity factor also contributes in. As long as I pitch games like I did in the past, I think I should be fine."
Esquibel was happy to find that Kansans were friendly and the overall college town experience was also exciting.
Both Esquibel and Garcia have enjoyed getting to know their new teammates and coaching staff.
What surprised him was the baseball, San Diego State prepped Esquibel for the fast-paced game he would see at Kansas, so that came as no surprise. Instead, it was the way Kansas got ready for those challenges that caught him off guard.
"The way they run things here, it's really good!" Garcia said. "It was nothing like I've ever been a part of. I never had practice this intense. I really like it a lot."
As for Garcia, he has no qualms whatsoever, he said, about the season that started last weekend. The cold doesn't faze him, but Garcia is still facing the challenges expected after transferring to Kansas from a junior college.
"I've been running around since day one when I got here trying to get papers done, trying to get classes done," Garcia said. "The campus is much bigger than I'm used to. But I love it. I have no complaints at all."

Senior fuels first Big 12 win
Porscha Weddington, freshman forward, shoots over Colorado forward AJ Purina. The Jawahks gained their first victory conference T7-68 in Allen Fieldhouse.
BY ASHER FUSCO
Since arriving at Kansas at the beginning of last season, Shaquina Mosley has experienced the peaks and valleys that every athlete endures. Until recently, Mosley had seen more of the valleys than the mountains.
However, the senior guard's performance Tuesday night in Kansas 70-68 victory against Colorado may have changed some things.
Mosley's arrival at Kansas in fall 2006 was much-heralded, but she failed to live up to the promise bestowed upon her. During her junior season she played only 13 minutes per game and clashed with coach Bonnie Henrickson, earning a late-season suspension.
Early on in the 2007 campaign it looked to be more of the same for the tiny point guard known as "Shaq." A flock of underclassmen ate away at Mosley's playing time, and she looked unimpressive in the minutes she received.
Henrickson inserted Mosley into the starting lineup and granted her the majority of the ball-handling responsibilities as the Jayhawks moved into conference play, Shaq was electric at times but turned the ball over nearly as often as she made an assist.
Against Colorado, Mosley limited her turnovers to two.
"Me and the coaching staff had a conversation yesterday," Mosley said. "We talked about taking care of the ball and eliminating turnovers. I was just rushing things."
Tuesday night, the pieces finally fell into place. Mosley pulled down eight rebounds, distributed five assists, grabbed three steals and scored 20 points.
The final two of her 20 points were the biggest. Mosley broke a 68-11 tie with her aggressive drive through the lane and a floating shot over two Colorado defenders with 4.6 seconds remaining.
Shaq's game-winner was even sweeter considering the fact that she turned the ball over on the lashawks' final possession in the Jan. 31 loss to Texas Tech. Mosley's performance, down to the final buzzer, was a perfect portrait of reedemonition.
- Plays that were once turnovers became daring passes, and what many considered mental weakness turned into fortitude and grit. What was once a turnover became a game-winning layup.
Mosley was not the only contributor to the Jayhawks' first conference victory, but her performance overshadowed her teammates. Tuesday night was all about the Jayhawks'
intense floor general. As her teammates celebrated the victory at mid-court, it became apparent that Shaq Mosley had finally reached the mountaintop.

VICTORY (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
On the next possession, junior forward Taylor McIntosh was fouled with 14 seconds left. She made both free throws to send the game into overtime.
It wasn't only McIntosh's free throws that were important.
As a team, Kansas shot 17-for-18 from the free-throw line. In a game where the offense fluttered, the free throws proved invaluable. The Jayhawks shot only 32 percent from the field.
"We've been in some games and shot poorly," Henrickson said. "But when that happens, you've got to be able to do other things to win."
Although Houston had a career-high in points with 26 and rebounds with six, Smith shut her down with the game on the line. Smith also added a career-high 12 points.
"Sharita Smith picked the perfect time to have her best game." Henrickson said.

the season, but on Tuesday it was the upperclassmen that stepped up. In addition to Smith's career high, Mosley had 20 points and McIntosh added 12.
The game was tied for most of overtime. Colorado junior forward Jackie McFarland got two easy points in the post to make the score 68-66 with 2:29 remaining.
Even though she was only shooting 1-for-15 at the time, freshman forward Danielle McCray aggressively attacked the rim to tie the score at 68. A turnover on the other end set the stage for Mosley's heroes.

boost in the first half as sophomore forward Marija Zinic entered the game to a standing ovation. Zinic missed the last six games with a stress fracture.
As the horn expired, the Jayhawks stormed the court in excitement.
"We're gonna celebrate today," Smith said. "Then get back on the court Thursday and prepare for Texas."

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
even if I threw a bad pass he would make a play for me."
Even greater than their chemistry on the field is their bond away from football.
"They are truly each others greatest fans," Free State coach Bob Lisher said. "They never stop encouraging each other. You'd never meet two nicer kids."
Long before they began the process of visiting schools and mulling their choices, the twins knew that wherever they went, they would go together. From little league through high school, on the gridiron or the basketball court, the brothers always stuck together. They knew from day one that college would be no different.
When programs like Arizona State and Nebraska came calling, the brothers set a simple ground rule: "both of us or neither of us."
Eventually they narrowed their search to Kansas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State.
The campus proximity to family and friends was what ultimately sealed the deal and fueled the brothers' decision to become lavwhawks.
"Kansas convinced me that not everyone gets the chance to play
In addition to providing the comforts of home, Kansas will supply the Murphys with plenty of opportunities to shine on the football field. The Kansas coaching staff offered to keep both of the twins on the offensive side of the ball, but position changes may be in order.
Brian will need to visit the weight room and cafeteria to add a few pounds to his 165-pound frame, but he may be one of Kansas' quicker players from day one. He rushed for 1,095 yards and 17 touchdowns in his senior season.
in their hometown" Brian said. "I took that to heart."
Brian may see time on special teams until he adds enough weight to be an effective blocker at running back. Ryan will most likely play wide receiver, although he also has experience as a defensive back.
No matter where they line up,
each of the brothers possesses
Charles Gordon-like athletic ability
that has the potential to light up the
Memorial Stadium scoreboard.
Ryan can cover 40 yards in 4.4 seconds and is rated as the No. 3 football prospect in the state by recruiting Web site Rivals.com. He passed for 1.863 yards and rushed
for 1,084 on the way to 32 total touchdowns.
Lisher described Brian and Ryan as two of the most gifted players to grace the field at Free State.
Fans should not expect to see the two on the field together any time soon. Ryan will probably take a medical redshirt in 2007 because of a recent shoulder injury, while Brian may be forced to redshirt due to depth at the running back position.
Battling injuries and struggling for playing time are just two of the many hurdles the brothers will inevitably face during their college careers. Ryan and Brian can both rest assured that if they trip, they will have someone to help them to their feet.
Both Angus Quigley and Jake Sharp are expected to see significant time in the backfield next season.

COMMENTARY
National rankings not important
Ah, college football signing day. The one day of the year you'll hear more about stars than an average Kansas Cosmosphere employee. As recruiting experts sift through hours of film to rank players, the fact of the matter is that recruiting is an inexact science. While USC's five-star recruits are more likely to have a greater impact than the lajawhacks two-star and three-star prospects, Mark Mangino, since arriving in 2002, has been able to find a few diamonds in the rough every year All rankings are from Rivals.com.
2002
Class rank: 58th-ranked national recruiting class
Highest ranked recruit: Cory Kipp, defensive end, four stars.
Under the radar: Two-star wide receiver Charles Gordon, current Minnesota Vikings defensive back; only other scholarship offers from San Diego State and Colorado State.
Jon Cornish, two star running back. 2006 First team all Big 12. Nick Reid, recruited as a three-star quarterback and eventual Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year at linebacker.
2003
Class rank: 39th-ranked national recruiting class.
Highest ranked recruit: Gabe Toomey, four-star linebacker.

Monroe Weekley, four-star defensive end.
Under the radar: Joe Vaughn,
two-star offensive lineman and
first-tier all. Big 12.
2004
Class rank 41th-ranked national recruiting class and shaping up to be Mangino's best vet.
Highest ranked recruits: Seven three-star recruits were in this class. Gary Green, running back; Rodney Harris, defensive back; Todd Hasselhoff, offensive lineback; Marcus Herford, quarterback; James McClinton, defensive tackle; Mike Rivera, linebacker; and Jason Swanson, quarterback.
Under the radar: Aqib Talbari, two-star first team all big 12 defense back, whose other offers came from Baylor, Arizona, Wyoming and Tulsa.
Charlton Keith: two stars, first team all-bay 12 defense end. Anthony Collins: two stars, recruited as a defensive end with offers from Houston and Iowa State. Collins will be playing often s tackle on Sundays in a few
years.
Theo Bunne: two stars and a starting defensive back on the Jayhawks' outstanding 2005 defense.
Dexton Fields: two stars and the team's leading receiver as a sophomore.
2005
Class Rank: 48th-ranked national recruiting class and perhaps Mangino deepest class.
Highest ranked recruit: Rodney Allen, four-star defensive end; Brandon Duncan, four-star linebacker.
Under the radar: Russell Brorsen two-star defensive end with no other major offers.
Highest ranked recruit: Anthony Webb, four-star defensive back.
Under the radar: Most of the true freshmen class received a redshirt, so their impact is not known.
As you wade through all the stars, you'll see several names jump out at you when Mangino announces the incoming class today. But you never know who'll be the next Gordon, Talib or Collins out of the bunch.

MLB Royals avoid arbitration with reliever Wellemever
MLB
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals signed right-handed pitcher Todd Wellemeyer to a one-year contract Tuesday and avoided salary arbitration.
Kansas City also signed right-handed pitcher Jason Standridge on Tuesday to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training camp.
Wellemeyer, 28, joined the Royals in the middle of last season after the Florida Marlins placed him on waivers. He went 1-2 with a team-leading 3.63 ERA in 28 relief appearances for Kansas City, allowing just 48 hits in 57.0 innings.
His 57 innings from June 9 to the end of the season led all Royals relievers.
Standbridge has played for Tampa Bay, Texas and Cincinnati in his career and split the 2006 season between the Reds and Triple-A Louisville

>> SECOND ROUND OR BUST
Let's make K-State remember tonight
Let me explain my love-hate relationship with Jayhawk basketball.
The feelings I have for Kansas basketball can be compared with any relationship. Sometimes things are great and I love it more than anything, other times, not so much.
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
Every time the team loses, it feels like my girlfriend just told me she's cheating on me. Every time I see the team lose at home, it feels like I just walked in and caught her cheating.
If the Jayhawks were my girl friend, wed be on a break right now.
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
EJORGENSEN/KANSAN.COM
Many of you are as passionate about the jayhawks as I am. When the team plays well, our day is better. If they lose, then our night is shot. Even though we are all upset with them now, the jayhawks can make everything better by obliterating the Wildcats tonight.
Tonight's game against Kansas State is a landmark one. This season is the one that Kansas State has passed Missouri as Kansas's biggest rival. Missouri hasn't been much of a contest in recent years. K State on the other hand defeated Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse last year.
They hired the big name head coach, Bob Huggins, and are landing some of the nation's top recruits. At 6-2 in the Big 12 Conference, tied for second with Kansas, K-State is in position to spoil Kansas' conference hopes.
Losing tonight would solidify K-State as a power player. The Wildcats would be one win away from winning streak in the fieldhouse, and our dominance in the rivalry could be heading toward a stalemate.
With that said, it is important not to lose faith in our boys. When Huggins and his purple Teletubbies come to the Fieldhouse, we as fans have to be louder and crazier than ever. As loud as we were on Saturday, we need to be louder. The public address people need to turn up the pre-game montage up another notch. Wildcat players and
fans should shutter hear U2 ringing in their ears when they sleep that night.
Every K-State possession; we need to scream until our lungs give out, and we need to applaud every Jawhay as they are substituted in and out of the game. Let's help our players make Huggins' first game in the fieldhouse an embarrassment for him and not us.
A testament to loyalty is sticking with your team through thick and thin. Most of us did that Saturday, rooting for our team as they jogged off the court, even though we were frustrated. Lucky for us, we can take out our current frustrations on the Wildcats.
So, like any relationship, we will move on. We will get past the "argument" we had on Saturday and try to make up tonight. We will all love Jayhawk basketball regardless of wins and losses.
Tonight, it is our duty to make the fieldhouse hell for opposing players on the court, because this is one game we cannot lose.

COACHING TEAM
Kansas State coach Bob Huggins has the Wildcats on the verge of an NCAA Tournament berth in his first season in Manhattan, Huggins will coach in the first Sunflower game tonight.
Wooldridge crippled a talented bunch, leading them to a mere 15 victories.
K-STATE (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"I really felt K-State had good players," Self said "I was at Oklahoma State when Coach (Eddie) Sutton got the job and when he walked in, there was just a different feeling because he had a great track record. I think that's the same thing that's happened in Manhattan."
Edited by Stacey Couch

"And I think you go through a process where you think too much, and you don't play and react. I think they're getting to the point where they can just play and not think about what they're supposed to do."

Sigma Chi 1 squeaks out win Team holds on to early lead to defeat The Architects
BY SCOTT TOLAND
Several teams are looking strong as intramural basketball pool play continues at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
There have been many blowouts in pool play so far but also several close games.
One thriller of a game in the men's division featured Sigma Chi I against The Architects.
Led by good shooting and several assists, Sigma Chi 1 jumped out to an early lead and took a 22-15 advantage into the break. The fraternity came out strong in the second half, and went up 28-19, gaining its largest lead of the contest.
The Architects, thanks to several key plays by Dustin Tregnoag, Mobery, Mo, junior, cut the lead to four with 1.29 left on the clock.
After getting a defensive stop, The Architects pushed the ball up the floor and gave it to Tregnago, who hit a three-pointer to pull his team to within one point. With all the momentum on its side, The Architects forced a turnover with 36.7 seconds remaining. Tristan Comrad, Andover freshman attempted a go-ahead three from the top of the circle and left it a bit short. Sigma Chi 1 pulled down the rebound and was toled with 17.7
Sigma Chi 1 missed the front end of one one-and-one, giving The Architects one last chance to win the game. After working some time off the clock, N tragogn took the ball and drove into the lane. He put up a shot just before the buzzer sounded. It barely rimmed out, which gave Sigma Chi 1 a hard-fought 40-39 victory.
"We're 2-0 and we have a pretty good chance of doing well in the tournament," Benjamin Voran, Leawood sophomore guard for Sigma Chi 1, said.
Voran led Sigma Chi 1 with 11 points, while Tregnago posted 16 points and three rebounds for The Architects.
"We were both really even teams." Trengao said. "We've got some good shooters, we're 1-1, and anything can happen in the tournament."
League play continues through next week before the leagues are split into separate divisions for tournament play. Tournament play begins during the week of February 26.

Snickers commercial draws criticism Ad pulled after complaints from gay, lesbian community
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. — A commercial for Snickers candy bars launched in the Super Bowl broadcast was benched after its maker made complaints that it was homophobic.
The ad showed two auto mechanics accidently kissing while eating the same candy bar and then ripping out some chest hair to do something "many." One of the alternate endings on the Snickers Web site showed the men attacking each other.
The Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Delamination complained to the maker of Snickers, Hackett-stown-based Masterfoods USA, a division of Mars Inc., which also makes M&M's and other candies.
The Web site also featured video of players from the Super Bowl teams reacting to the kiss.
"This type of jeering from professional sports figures at the sight of two men kissing fuels the kind of anti gay bullying that haunts countless gay and lesbian school children on playgrounds all across the country," Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese said in a statement.
GLAAD spokesman Marc McCarthy said Tuesday the group believed "this kind of prejudice was inexcusable."
Masterfoods spokeswoman Alice Nathanson issued a statement in which she said the company would stop running the ad on television and the Web site.
"As with all of our Snickers advertising, our goal was to capture the attention of our core Snickers consumer." Nathanson wrote.
"Feedback from our target consumers has been positive. In addition, many media and website commentators of this year's Super Bowl commercial line-up ranked the commercial among this year's top ten best. USA Today ranked it No. 9 of its top ten picks," she continued.
"We know that humor is highly subjective and understand that some people may have found the ad offensive. Clearly that was not our intent," she wrote.
Masterfoods brands include Uncle Ben's rice, Pedigree dog food and Whiskas cat food. It is part of Mars Inc., a family-owned company.
MEDIA LEGISLATION
Lawmakers challenge NFL policy
BY DAVID A. LIEB ASSOCIATED PRESS
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Two Missouri lawmakers are challenging a National Football League policy prohibiting local television stations from covering games on the sidelines.
Legislation filed Tuesday would force the NFL to allow local TV cameras on the sidelines of games hosted by the Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Rams, both of whom play in publicly subsidized stadiums. Media denied reasonable sideline access could sue for damages.
Local TV media long had been allowed to roam the sidelines until the NFL booted most of them under a policy enacted before the start of the 2006-07 season. Now, TV stations must get sideline game video from a pool photographer or use the network television footage, which is
provided for free.
Kansas City area Sens, Matt Barrie and Victor Callahan complained Tuesday that the policy also hurts the fans, who like to follow their favorite teams through the TV news.
"Ultimately, football belongs to all of us and should have access to all of us," said Callahan, a Democrat from Independence whose district includes the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium. This policy "is an attempt to block the public from what is America's pastime."
— before the start of the next football season. It was adopted to limit media congestion on the sidelines and protect the NFLs property rights to the game video, Aiello said.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday that the league would review the policy — as 1: does other policies
"We value the coverage of local stations in the promotion of the NFL, and this was by no means an
The legislation has the backing of the Missouri Broadcasters Association, which argues that the NFLs policy is both irrational and an interference with journalists' jobs.
But TV stations contend that is exactly what the policy does.
"I was perplexed by the policy quite frankly, because it's kind of a symbiotic relationship — the local broadcasters and their coverage of these games has contributed a great deal to the success that these NFL franchises have enjoyed," said broadcasters association president Don Hicks. "And then you're going to turn around and prohibit them from doing sideline coverage of the game?"
attempt to restrict or limit that coverage. 'Aiello said.'

Italian fan violence escalates
A
BY ALESSANDRA RIZZO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Italian Soccer League President Antonio Matarrese arrives at a Rome hotel for a meeting with soccer league officials on Tuesday. Italian Interior Minister Giuliano Amato awaived Tuesday to resist what he said was pressure from soccer clubs and to ensure safety in and outside stadiums.
ROME — A World Cup victory few expected. A corruption scandal that disgraced some of Italy's most famous clubs. And now, the death of a police officer during riots by Sicilian soccer fans.
Giuseppe Calzuola/ ASSOCIATED PRESS
The past year has been a tumultuous ride for Italian soccer, gripping a nation where team allegiances reflect ancient loyalties and rivalries that pit town against town. Passions have defied long attempts by the government and police to bring violence under control.
Filippo Raciti's death during clashes at the Catania-Palermo game Friday, which prompted the cancellation of the rest of the weekend's matches, has shocked a nation where soccer is part of the fabric of life.
"Let's not hide the fact that it is not only a game," said La Repubblica in a recent front-page editorial. "This game nurtured dreams. Now it provokes nightmares."
Italy has three national sports dailies that are almost entirely devoted to soccer. Most other sports typically receive little, if any, TV coverage. Day in and day out, countless radio and TV shows — from national broadcasters to small local stations — discuss in great detail team news, refereeing decisions and soccer policy.
England was long notorious as the home of the soccer hooligan, but closed circuit cameras, tougher policing and higher ticket prices have tamed stadium violence. Now Italy, France and the Netherlands are gaining notoriously for soccer violence.
Thanks to Italy's World Cup final victory over France last July, Italian soccer managed to recover from a match-fixing scandal that had greatly undermined its credibility. But Friday's violence promises to be a harder crisis to overcome.
There were calls by some politicians Tuesday for the resignation of Antonio Matarrese, the soccer league president, after he said the 38-year old policeman's slaying should not halt play.
"We are saddened, but the show must go on." Matarrese told an Italian radio station, in comments picked up by La Repubblica on Monday. "Unfortunately, deaths ... are part of this huge movement, which law enforcement officials still can't control."
He later said he had not intended to sound as though he was taking the violence lightly.
Italy's interior minister, Giuliano Amato, said Tuesday he would resist pressure from soccer clubs to reopen stadiums until he could ensure public safety. And, speaking to lawmakers in the Chamber of Deputies, he issued what sounded like a rebuke to Matarrese.
"There's no doubt that from that world pressure will come that the
show must go on, that soccer is a big deal," Amato said. "We have a duty, before our law enforcement officials and our citizens, to resist these pressures."
Authorities have arrested 34 people following the rioting, Amato said. They were not believed to be responsible for the killing of the police officer but were suspected of violence against public officials and vandalism.
Amato and his Cabinet met Monday with soccer officials and outlined tough new measures that include barring soccer fans from stadiums where security requirements are not met and barring clubs from selling blocks of tickets to visiting fans, so authorities can control who enters the stadium.
Amato said that between the start of the season in the autumn and January, the number of police officers injured at soccer matches rose from 158 to 228 over the same period last year.

》 SECOND ROUND OR BUST
Let's make K-State remember tonight
Let me explain my love-hate relationship with Jayhawk basketball.
The feelings I have for Kansas basketball can be compared with any relationship. Sometimes things are great and I love it more than anything, other times, not so much.
ERIC JORGENSEN
If the layhawks were my girl friend, wed be on a break right now.
Every time the team loses, it feels like my girlfriend just told me she's cheating on me. Every time I see the team lose at home, it feels like I just walked in and caught her cheating
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
KANSAN COLUMNIST
EJORGENSENIKANSAN.COM
Many of you are as passionate about the lajhwakes as I am. When the team plays well, our day is better. If they lose, then our night is伤. Even though we are all upset with them now, the lajhwakes can make everything better by obliterating the Wildcats tonight.
Tonight's game against Kansas State is a landmark one. This season is the one that Kansas State has passed Missouri as Kansas's biggest rival. Missouri hasn't been much of a contest in recent years. K State on the other hand defeated Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse last year.
They hired the big-name head coach, Bob Huggins, and are landing some of the nation's top recruits. At 6-2 in the Big 12 Conference, tied for second with Kansas, K-State is in position to spoil Kansas' conference hopes.
Losing tonight would solidify K-State as a power player. The Wildcats would be one win away from winning streak in the fieldhouse, and our dominance in the rivalry could be heading toward a stalemate.
With that said, it is important not to lose faith in our boys. When Huggins and his purple Teletubbies come to the Fieldhouse, we as fans have to be louder and crazier than ever. As loud as we were on Saturday, we need to be louder.
The public address people need to turn up the pre-game montage up another notch. Wildcat players and
fans should shutter hear U2 ringing in their ears when they sleep that night.
Every K. State possession, we need to scream until our lungs give out, and we need to applaud every lavwhawk as they are substituted in and out of the game. Let's help our players make Huggins' first game in the fieldhouse an embarrassment for him and not us.
A testament to loyalty is sticking with your team through thick and thin. Most of us did that Saturday, rooting for our team as they jogged off the court, even though we were frustrated. Lucky for us, we can take out our current frustrations on the Wildcats.
Tonight, it is our duty to make the fieldhouse hell for opposing players on the court, because this is one game we cannot lose.
So, like any relationship, we will move on. We will get past the "argument" we had on Saturday and try to make up tonight. We will all love Jayhawk basketball regardless of wins and losses.
Jorgensen is a Baldwin City senior in journalism.

With all the momentum on its side, The Architects forced a turnover with 36.7 seconds remaining, Tristan Comad, Andover freshman attempted a go-ahead three from the top of the circle and left it a bit short. Sigma Chi 1 pulled down the rebound and was fouled with 17.7
seconds left.
Sigma Chi 1 missed the front end of a one-and-one, giving The Architects one last chance to win the game. After working some time off the clock, Tregnago got the ball and drove into the lane. He put up a shot just before the buzzer sounded. It barely rimmed out, which gave Sigma Chi 1 a hard-fought 40-39 victory.
"We were both really even teams," Trengago said. "We've got some good shooters, we're 1-1, and anything can happen in the tournament."
"We're 20 and we have a pretty good chance of doing well in the tournament," Benjamin Voran, Leewood sophomore guard for Sigma Chi 1, said.
Voran led Sigma Chi 1 with 11 points, while Tregnago posted 16 points and three rebounds for The Architects.
League play continues through next week before the leagues are split into separate divisions for tournament play. Tournament play begins during the week of February 26.

Snickers commercial draws criticism Ad pulled after complaints from gay, lesbian community
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. — A commercial for Snickers candy bars launched in the Super Bowl broadcast was benched after its maker got complaints that it was homophobic.
The ad showed two auto mechanics accidentally kissing while eating the same candy bar and then ripping out some chest hair to do something "manly." One of the alternate endings on the Snickers Web site showed the men attacking each other.
The Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation complained to the maker of Snickers, Hackettstown-based Masterfoods USA, a division of Mars Inc., which also makes M&M's and other candies.
The Web site also featured video of players from the Super Bowl teams reacting to the kiss.
"This type of jeering from professional sports figures at the sight of two men kissing fuels the kind of anti-gay bullying that haunts countless gay and lesbian school children on playgrounds all across the country." Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmoneh said in a statement.
GLAAD spokesman Marc McCarthy said Tuesday the group believed "this kind of prejudice was inexcusable."
Masterfoods spokeswoman Alice Nathanson issued a statement in which she said the company would stop running the ad on television and the Web site.
"As with all of our Snickers advertising, our goal was to capture the attention of our core Snickers consumer," Nathanson wrote.
"Feedback from our target consumers has been positive. In addition, many media and website commentators of this year's Super Bowl commercial line-up ranked the commercial among this year's top ten best. USA Today ranked it No. 9 of its top ten picks," she continued.
"We know that humor is highly subjective and understand that some people may have found the ad offensive. Clearly that was not our intent," she wrote.
Masterfoods brands include Uncle Ben's rice, Pedigree dog food and Whiskas cat food. It is part of Mars Inc., a family-owned company.
MEDIA LEGISLATION
Lawmakers challenge NFL policy
BY DAVID A. LIEB ASSOCIATED PRESS
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Two Missouri lawmakers are challenging a National Football League policy prohibiting local television stations from covering games on the sidelines.
Legislation filed Tuesday would force the NFL to allow local TV cameras on the sidelines of games hosted by the Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Rams, both of whom play in publicly subsidized stadiums. Media denied reasonable sideline access could sue for damages.
Local TV media long had been allowed to roam the sidelines until the NFL booted most of them under a policy enacted before the start of the 2006-07 season. Now,TV stations must get sideline game video from a pool photographer or use the network television footage, which is
provided for free.
Kansas City area Sens, Matt Bartle and Victor Callahan complained Tuesday that the policy also hurts the fans, who like to follow their favorite teams through the TV news.
"Ultimately, football belongs to all of us and should have access to all of us," said Callahan, a democrat from Independence whose district includes the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium. This policy "is an attempt to block the public from what is America's pastime."
"We value the coverage of local stations in the promotion of the NFL, and this was by no means an
before the start of the next football season. It was adopted to limit media congestion on the sidelines and protect the NFPS property rights to the game video, Atello said.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday that the league would review the policy — as it does other policies
But TV stations contend that is exactly what the policy does.
The legislation has the backing of the Missouri Broadcasters Association, which argues that the NFIs policy is both irrational and an interference with journalists' jobs.
attempt to restrict or limit that cover-
aure. 'Aileo said.
"I was perplexed by the policy quite frankly, because it's kind of a symbiotic relationship — the local broadcasters and their coverage of these games has contributed a great deal to the success that these NFL franchises have enjoyed," said broadcasters association president Don Hicks. "And then you're going to turn around and prohibit them from doing sideline coverage of the game?"

Italian fan violence escalates
BERTO DEL REVISTA
BY ALESSANDRA RIZZO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Italian Soccer League President Antonio Matarrese arrives at a Rome hotel for a meeting with soccer league officials on Tuesday. Italian Interior Minister Gliulia Amatoowed Tuesday to resist what he said was pressure from soccer clubs and to ensure safety in and outside stadiums.
ROME — A World Cup victory few expected. A corruption scandal that disgraced some of Italy's most famous clubs. And now, the death of a police officer during riots by Sicilian soccer fans.
Gruseope Calzuola/ ASSOCIATED PRESS
The past year has been a tumultuous ride for Italian soccer, gripping a nation where team allegiances reflect ancient loyalties and rivalries that pit town against town. Passions that defied long attempts by the government and police to bring violence under control.
Filippo Raciti's death during clashes at the Catania-Palermo game Friday, which prompted the cancellation of the rest of the weekend's matches, has shocked a nation where soccer is part of the fabric of life.
"Let's not bide the fact that it is not only a game," said La Repubblica in a recent front-page editorial. "This game nurtured dreams. Now it provokes nightmares."
Italy has three national sports dailies that are almost entirely devoted to soccer. Most other sports typically receive little, if any, TV coverage. Day in and day out, countless radio and TV shows — from national broadcasters to small local stations — discuss in great detail team news, refereeing decisions and soccer policy.
England was long notorious as the home of the soccer hooligan, but closed circuit cameras, tougher policing and higher ticket prices have tamed stadium violence. Now Italy, France and the Netherlands are gaining notoriously for soccer violence.
Thanks to Italy's World Cup final victory over France last July, Italian soccer managed to recover from a match-fixing scandal that had greatly undermined its credibility. But Friday's violence promises to be a harder crisis to overcome.
There were calls by some politicians Tuesday for the resignation of Antonio Matarrese, the soccer league president, after he said the 38-year-old policeman's slaving should not halt play.
"We are saddened, but the show must go on." Matarrese told an Italian radio station, in comments picked up by La Repubblica on Monday. "Unfortunately, deaths ... are part of this huge movement, which law enforcement officials still can't control."
Helater said he had not intended to sound as though he was taking the violence lightly.
Italy's interior minister, Giuliano Amato, said Tuesday he would resist pressure from soccer clubs to reopen stadiums until he could ensure public safety. And, speaking to lawmakers in the Chamber of Deputies, he issued what sounded like a rebuke to Matarrese.
"There's no doubt that from that world pressure will come that the
show must go on, that soccer is a big deal," Amato said. "We have a duty, before our law enforcement officials and our citizens, to resist these pressures."
Authorities have arrested 34 people following the rioting. Amato said, They were not believed to be responsible for the killing of the police officer but were suspected of violence against public officials and vandalism.
Amato and his Cabinet met Monday with soccer officials and outfitted tough new measures that include barring soccer fans from stadiums where security requirements are not met and barring clubs from selling blocks of tickets to visiting fans, so authorities can control who enters the stadium.
Amato said that between the start of the season in the autumn and January, the number of police officers injured at soccer matches rose from 158 to 228 over the same period last year.

KU TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE
Aside from in-state bragging rights, the Jayhawks don't want to slip into a funk during a crucial stretch of the season. Every game now will determine position in the Big 12. A high ranking within the conference is needed, because nationally the Big 12 is not getting a lot of respect this year.
The winner will also have the upper hand in recruiting battles within the state of Kansas. The Jayhawks recruit most of their players from other states, though, so this is a big deal
STAR WATCH
Junior forward Sasha Kaun has struggled recently, scoring only two points in the last two
Kaim
games, if he can emerge from his shooting slump tonight, he can force the Kansas State defense to go into the paint to
stop him, which would help free up his teammates.
QUESTION MARK
CAN THE JAYHAWKS CLOSE
THE GAME OUT?
If Kansas takes a big lead, look for K.State to pressure them into making sloppy plays. The Jayhawks had the Aggies defeated Saturday, but two wasted possessions in a row let them back into the game, which ended with a Kansas loss.
3 REASONS KUWINS
ONE — Sherron Collins is unstoppable. If it weren't for Kevin Durant at Texas, Collins would be mentioned as a candidate for the Big 12 Freshman of the Year award. He's improved over the course of the season, and is shooting better in Big 12 play than he did in non-conference games.
TWO — The Jayhawks won't need a new game plan. The Wildcats are basically the same team that came to the Fieldhouse on Saturday, the Texas A&M Aggies. Whatever worked against A&M will work against K-State.
**THREE** — Bob Huggins is a thug. In Las Vegas, when K-State was playing USC, he got agitated with a heckler and yelled back into the stands. Will he be able to gracefully ignore the onslaught of insults the Jayhawk students will deliver tonight?

READY FOR SOME HUGGS? K-State coach makes first trip to Fieldhouse KANSAS VS. KANSAS STATE 8 Tonight, Allen Fieldhouse, Channels 8 and 15
Kansas 19-4,6-2 Big 12
OFFENSE
Freshman guard Sherron Collins has stepped up big in recent games, and now the Jayhawks have three legitimate options at the outside guard positions - Collins, sophomore guard Mario Chalmers and junior guard Russell Robinson.
Inside the paint, the play is a little more inconsistent between junior center Sasha Kaun and sophomore forward Julian Wright. When the two are playing at the top of their game, they can expertly move the ball around the court and keep opponents guessing as to where it will go. If the two are struggling, the Wildcats will be able to move their defensive focus to the guards, and keep the score low.
Kansas State 17-6,6-2
KU KU KU
DEFENSE
OFFENSE
For the first time this season we have a question mark sur-
The Wildcats are similar to the Jayhawks in that they have multiple guys who could be the leading scorer any night. Cartier Martin, David Hoskins, Lance Harris and Akeem Wright all average more than seven points per game. Saturday against Texas, Kansas State had one its best offensive outputs of the season. The Wildcats scored 73 points mainly because of 51.9 percent three-point shooting. Martin and Harris combined to make 12 shots behind the arc. No one can expect them to do that again — Kansas State is 10th in the conference in three-point percentage — but Kansas will have to guard the perimeter tightly.
we have a question mark sur rounding the defense. The Jayhawks' inability to close out games is no longer a fluke, but rather something that has occurred several times now. What's the fix? The Jayhawks have to control the pace of the game down the stretch and not make sloppy passes when the other team is short on momentum.

MOMENTUM
Both teams will be fired up for this one so much so that the coaches will need to keep their players calm in the early minutes of the game. A full Allen Fieldhouse crowd will await the Wildcats, and the freshmen may not have experienced an atmosphere quite like this one before
Look for a slow start to the game while the teams feel each other out, but then the playmakers will be allowed to take over the game. Expect a moderate pace, with the winning team scoring in the 70s.
DEFENSE
Inconsistency has plagued the Wildcats' defense all season. Five of their first nine opponents this season cracked 70 points, but they have been getting better in conference play. During its seven-game win streak, Kansas State is allowing its opponents to score only 61 points per game. The Wildcats' undersized big men, Martin and Serge Afell, could have trouble stop-
— Michael Phillips
ing Sissima Rahn and Dawn Attrut. Because of their size disadvantage, freshmen Luis Colon (6-foot-10) and Jason Bennett (7-3) will likely get significantly more playing time.
CCC
MOMENTUM
It took nearly twenty years, but the Wildcats are finally starting to resemble a serious college basketball team. Kansas State has matched its longest conference win streak since the 1987-88 season. Few would have seen this excellent stretch of play coming after losing freshman Bill Walker to a torn ACL in the first game of conference play. Much of the credit has to be given to first year coach Bob Huggins. In less than a year, he's already turned the team around and has them on the brink of an NCAA Tournament berth. Although the Wildcats have plenty of momentum, the Jayhawks still have significantly more talent and will be motivated after losing to them in Allen Fieldhouse last year.

TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Second place. The season isn't over after Wednesday's game but whoever wins has control of second place in the Big 12. Also, a victory would further enhance the Wildcats' status as an NCAA Tournament team. Beating Texas was nice, but defeating a top 10 Kansas team would all but guarantee a berth.
STAR WATCH
David Hoskins. Hoskins is the rare player who combines the outside shooting and quickness
of a guard and the toughness and strength of a power forward. He can beat a four-man off the dribble and post up against a two
100
Hoskins
guard. Against Texas on Saturday, Hoskins scored 13 points, grabbed nine rebounds and handed out five assists.
QUESTION MARK
CAN KSU DEFEAT TWO GOOD TEAMS ON THE ROAD?
Kansas State's victory against Texas wasn't necessarily a fluke, but it probably couldn't replicate that performance 10 times in a row. The Wildcats are unlikely to make nearly 52 percent of their three-pointers against the Jayhawks and will have a tougher time in a real road environment. The Erwin Center in Austin, Texas isn't nearly as hostile of an environment as Allen Fieldhouse.
3 REASONS KSUWINS
ONE — End of the streak — Kansas State's losing streak didn't reach Cal Ripken length, but it came close. The Wildcats broke a string of 31 losses last season by defeating their instate rival. Now they have confidence to do it again.
TWO — Bob Huggins — He's the new face of Kansas State and has proved to be worth the hype. Right now he has his team playing its best basketball of the season. if former coach Jim Wooldridge was able to luck out a win against Kansas, surely Huggins can do the same.
**THREE** — Rival Game — When rivals play each other the game is always close — see KU, Missouri from January 15. It also means the underdog always performs better. If Kansas State played against an equally talented non-rival opponent, it would lose.

State congress looks at HPV
Legislature may require vaccination
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Kansas joined a list of almost a dozen other states that are considering legislation that would require all 11- and 12-year-olds to receive vaccination against the human papilloma virus.
A sexually transmitted disease. HPV is known to cause cervical cancer and genital warts.
House bill No. 2227, which would require girls to receive the HPV vaccination in Kansas, was introduced Jan. 25. A second hearing was presented at the Health and Human Services Committee Wednesday afternoon. Opposing testimonies will be heard today at 1:30 p.m.
The University of Kansas was one of the original test sites for the HPV vaccine Gardasil in 1999. Watkins Memorial Health Center began distributing the vaccine in August 2006.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins, said that since last August they had vaccinated more than 150 patients.
Although the bill in question would require girls to be vaccinated before they start middle school, Carolyn Johnson, a gynecologist at Watkins, said HPV was also a common problem in college-aged women.
"I am in favor of requiring the vaccine, because this is such a widespread disease with devastating consequences," Johnson said.
Studies showed that at least 50 percent of sexually active men and women will contract the virus.
Some critics of the bill said that the vaccine requirement would encourage young girls to engage in early sexual activity. Johnson disagreed.
HPV can be spread through genital contact, not just penetrative intercourse.
Johnson said the virus was so widespread that complete abstinence would be necessary to avoid infection. She said that even if an eventual life-partner ever had skin-to-skin contact, both parties would potentially be at risk.
"I still run into patients all the time who have never heard of HPV." Johnson said. "So education is important."

UNIVERSITY FINANCE
State funding doesn't meet schools' education, upkeep needs
BY NATHAN GILL
If trends in state funding for Kansas universities continue, by 2010 students' tuition could pay more for higher education than the state does. This projection is from a Kansas Board of Regents report that said state support was at an all-time low.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway testified to the state's House Education Budget Committee on Jan. 31. He told the committee that while state spending grew 54 percent since 1985, state university support grew by only 5 percent.
According to data compiled by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning, full-time undergraduate
on average about $2,000 more from the state in 1985 than they did in 2006. In that same period, full-time, undergraduate tuition at the University rose 436 percent.

Q&A with
Professor David Guth
MARYLAND
1. What school do you teach in? The School of Journalism
BY RICHELLE BUSER
2. Why did you decide to teach at the University of Kansas?:
I reached a point in my life where I needed change. I was working for the governor of North Carolina and his term was about to end. When the opportunity to teach presented itself, I took it.
3. What are your hobbies outside of teaching?: I enjoy writing, which is my work and my hobby. I edit family videos, spend time with my golden retriever and write text books.
4. Where did you go to college and what degree did you receive?: I attended the University of Maryland for my bachelor's in radio, television, speech. After that I earned my master's from the University of North Carolina.
5. What is your favorite thing about Lawrence? It's big enough
that there is a lot going on, but small enough that it's feasible to run into friends on the street. It's a decent size while still maintaining a sense of community.
6. What's something your students don't know about you? : My grandfather owned the Pepisco Inc. and I love being near the ocean.
7. If you had a different career, what would it be and why? : I would love to do sports play by play.
8. What's your favorite food? I grew up on the East Coast so naturally I love seafood, but crab would have to be my favorite.
9. What was the best class you took as a college student? My first reporting class really turned me onto journalism. It helped to point me in a particular direction.
10. If you could live anywhere else, where would it be and why? : My hometown, St. Michaels, Md. I miss being close to the ocean.

Woman accidentally steals stranger's car with her key
ATHENS, Ohio — Kate Anderson became an accidental car theft when she went to pick-up her daughter's car last week near an Ohio University building.
Anderson spotted the nickel-gray Toyota Camry and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home — without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.
When student Charlie Vansant left class, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car, made in the mid-1980s, had been towed, but when police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft report.
The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she found Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief:" "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition as well — so high-five for Toyota, I guess," he said.
Toyota spokesman Bill Bwong said key technology was not as sophisticated two decades ago, and there were only so many ways to

cut a key, making it possible for such a mix-up.
HAMPDEN, Maine — An 80-year-old woman who was watching the Super Bowl alone discovered a way to scare off a man who had broken into her home: fake a heart attack.
The woman was watching Sunday night's game when she saw a man walking through her house, said Hampden police Sgt. Dan Stewart. When she asked the man what he was doing, he grabbed her from behind and pushed her toward the bedroom.
Stewart said the woman pretended she was having a heart attack and told the intruder her heart medication was in her car in the garage. After they retrieved the medication, the man fled.
"The lady had enough common sense to keep her wits about her to fake a heart attack and avoid becoming another victim" Stewart said.
A 45-year-old suspect was arrested.

'Vagina Monologues' returns
Bernice Dupont
Eve Emler, creator of "The Vagina Monologues," has made ending violence against women her mission. The play has been performed all over the world in more than 45 different languages.
BY TYLER HARBERT
Alyson Cripps's character is going to talk about how she thought her vagina was ugly until she slept with a man who liked it.
"I definitely told my father not to come, at least not to this production," Cripps said.
The Topeka sophomore said her five-minute part during "The Vagina Monologues," is actually one of the tamer segments during the production.
"The Vagina Monologues," a play conceived by Eve Ensler and directed at the University by Lavinia Roberts, opens tonight at 7:30 and will also show Friday and Saturday in the Alderson Auditorium at the Kansas Union.
Tickets are 55 and all of the proceeds benefit Women's Transitional Care Services and the GaDuGi SafeCenter which provides assistance to victims of sexual assault, said Liz Miller, women's studies GTA.
Miller said in order for the group to host the play without purchasing the rights to it, the V-Day campaign requires that all proceeds be donated to nonprofit organizations. She said those groups will be represented in the Kansas Union an hour-and-a-half before show times during the V-Day Festival.
She said the monologues run almost annually at the University and usually sell out.
"It's a very empowering experience," Miller said. "I think it really resonates with students."
The play is composed of monologues and short segments that discuss women's self image, sexual abuse, sexualization, women's oppression in foreign countries, discrimination and above all celebrating women's bodies, said Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
"The title can't begin to give a sense of the issues addressed," she said. "There's so much more than
women and vaginas; it's a whole range of women's experiences."
Rose-Mockry said student actors from any background were encouraged to participate in the program. She said it was significant that actors weren't required to be theater majors
"It makes it more of a heartfelt issue," she said. "Participant selection has to do with your passion and presence."
Gripps said the actors have been rehearsing for the last four of five Saturdays and a few extra sessions. She said the participants were given their monologues before winter break and have been memorizing their lines ever since.
Even though she didn't consider her monologue, "Because He Looked at It" too shocking, Crippps said other segments about genital
mutilation and a woman getting her first period may surprise some audiences.
She said that's not stopping her from encouraging her boyfriend and his friends to see the show.
Rose-Mockry said more less appropriate words are used in the media every day.
"If anybody watches TV, I can't imagine it more shocking than what's on there," she said.
The play is part of the 2007 February Sisters Forum and the national V Day College Campaign to stop violence against women.

CITY COMMISSION ELECTIONS
Local powers focus on students Political science professor holds government forum
BY MATT ERICKSON
As the city spends more money each year, Lawrence property taxes will likely increase as well - which could translate to higher rents for students.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, spoke about this and other issues affecting Lawrence politics and this year's city commission election, Wednesday afternoon.
Advanced voting began Wednesday and the primary election for city commission takes place Feb.27.
Loomis said he was surprised property taxes had not been more of an issue in the city commission campaigns.
Loomis said common sense sug-
"You're in a situation where you want to think clearly about where you're going to get your money." Loomis said.
gestes that increasing the coordination between the KU on Wheels and Lawrence Transit System bus lines would be more efficient.
"It's never made any sense to me not to have those bus systems integrated in some way," he said.
Jake Davis, the only city commission candidate to attend Loomis' forum, said he also supported increased coordination, but he said he knew it wouldn't be easy.
"The bus merger makes sense to me, and I understand that there's a lot of bureaucracy involved in that," Davis said.
Davis is one of nine candidates vying for three commission spots.
Loomis said two of the candidates — local business executives Mike Dever and Rob Chestnut — would likely be supported by the Chamber of Commerce because they made growth and development a priority.
Loomis said Carey Maynard-
Moody, an environmental activist.
would be an attractive candidate for progressive groups in Lawrence.
The other new candidates, meanwhile, might have more trouble raising money and raising their profiles around town, be said.
These candidates include James Bush, a pastor, Sam Fields, a bail bondsmian; Michael Limburg, a forklift operator; and Davis, a local musician and data entry worker.
However, Loomis said that all the candidates had distinct platforms and priorities.
Current city commissioners David Schauer and Dennis "Boog" Highberger are both running as incumbents.
"These people are real individuals." he said.

>> ACCIDENT
Chemical explosion clouds Kansas City air
BY DAVE SKRETTA ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Multiple explosions at a chemical distribution facility shook an industrial area of Kansas City on Wednesday, sending an ominous smoke cloud above the downtown skyline and prompting the evacuation of nearby schools, homes and businesses.
stores and distributes various chemicals and solvents.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, but police were busy patrolling nearby streets warning that more explosions were expected at the Chemencent facility, which
Fire officials told residents throughout the city to avoid picking up debris carried by the dark cloud that streamed out of downtown, although Fire Chief Richard Dyer said the material was not highly toxic. The cloud appeared to be dropping a sticky substance as it moved to the southwest.
"None of these are what those of us in the field would call exotic chemicals. None of these have a high rating for toxicity," he said, adding that officials were monitoring the air within a two-mile
radius.
Ken Hannon, a spokesman for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, said a number of chemicals are at the property, including mineral spirits, turpentine and other solvents.
"Flammability seems to be the main concern right now for most of these chemicals," he said.
The explosions northeast of downtown sent up smoke that could be seen for at least 30 miles.
Dver said firefighters had decided to let the fire die out, hopefully by Thursday morning, although it could burn for a few days.

North Korea makes move towards peace agreement
BY BURT HERMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING — North Korea expressed its readiness Thursday to discuss initial steps of its nuclear disarmament, raising hopes for the first tangible progress at international talks on Poyongyang's atomic weapons program since they began more than three
more than three years ago.
"We are prepared to discuss first-stage measures," the North nuclear envoy Kim Kye Gwan said on arriving in Beijing for the six-nation negotiations set to start later Thursday.
the North may agree to freeze its main nuclear reactor and allow international inspectors in exchange for energy aid as a starting step to disarm.
"We are going to make a judgment based on whether the United States will give up its hostile policy and come out toward peaceful coexistence," he said, adding that Washington was "well-aware" of what it had to do.
"We are going to make judgement based on whether the United States will give up its hostile policy and come out toward peaceful coexistence."
The lack of any on the ground results on disarming the North at the negotiations has raised the issue of the credibility of the talks. Since 2003, they have produced only a single agreement in September 2005 on principles for the North to abandon its nuclear program in exchange for aid and pledges that Washington

"I'm not either optimistic or pessimistic because there are still many points of confrontation to resolve," Kim said.

Ahead of this week's round, the North had signaled it was satisfied with changes in the United States' attitude amid an apparent greater willingness on all sides to compromise on issues that deadlocked previous talks.
However, U.S. envoy Christopher Hill denied a report in a Japanese newspaper Thursday that the United States and North Korea had signed a memorandum during bilateral talks last month agreeing that Pyongyang's first steps toward denuclearization and U.S. energy support would begin simultaneously.
"We did not sign anything." Hill told reporters, but added he was hopeful the Beijing talks would lead to progress as working groups to discuss technical issues.

"We are prepared to do our utmost toward this goal, and we strongly hope and are certain that North Korea has come prepared to do," Sasae said in Beijing.
The latest nuclear standoff with the North was sparked in late 2002 after Washington accused Pyongyang of a secret uranium enrichment program in violation of a 1994 deal between the two countries. North Korea kicked out nuclear inspectors and restarted its main reactor, moves that culminated in the country's first-ever test atomic detonation in October.
Washington also has held separate talks on financial restrictions it placed on a Macau bank where the North held accounts, accusing it of complicity in the regime's alleged counterfeiting and money laundering. Blacklisting that bank has scared off other financial institutions from dealings with the North for fears of losing access to the U.S. market.
Although the U.S. and other key North Korean allies China and Russia backed U.N. sanctions in the wake of the nuclear test, Washington has since engaged in a series of diplomatic overtures that have drawn praise from Pyongyang.
That includes Hills's trip to Germany last month to meet Kim. The North said after the sides had reached an unspecified agreement, but the specifics of what they discussed have not been made public.
The North had earlier demanded the financial restrictions be lifted for it to disarm, and refused to talk about anything besides that issue at the last nuclear talks in December.
No end date has been set for this round of talks, but Hill has said the Chinese hosts expected the talks to last a few days and the sides would start reviewing a draft agreement Friday.

ber again.
Sergeant Max Miller, who was a police officer at the time of the fire, said he responded to initial calls. Miller said when he arrived he saw the third story balconies on fire and people hanging from windows, screaming for help. Miller and Officer Todd Polson were among the first responding officers, and both said they attempted to help however possible. That included using blankets to cushion the falls of those jumping from windows
cushions that Poison said old little good and resulted in broken bones.
The most visual evidence of the day was shown to the jury in the form of a nine-minute home video shot by Andrew Dobson, another resident from Thomas' building.
"The thing that stuck with me that shocked me, was how it spread incredibly fast." Dobson said. "Pretty much the whole building was completely ablaze."
Several of the day's witnesses reported some sort of explosion that happened during the fire. Poison described a burst that sent "huge snowflakes" into the air, while Thomas described a
noise that sounded like ammunition.
Donna Watson, Boardwalk Apartments manager, explained details of the apartments layout through diagrams. She answered several questions about the construction of the building, which she guessed was built between 1966 and 1968. Watson told the jury each unit had its own smoke detector. When asked if it was up to the tenant to make sure it was working, she answered "Once they move in, yes."
Judge lack A. Murphy and a jury of 12 — six men and six women — heard nearly seven hours of question and answer; beginning at 9 a.m. and wrapping up just before 5 p.m. Court will reconvene at 9 a.m. today. Murphy said he expected the trial to last two weeks.

NBC anchor denies leaking CIA name
>> COURTS
BY MATT APUZZO ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — NBC newsman Tim Rusert testified Wednesday he never discussed a CIA operative with vice presidental立契 l. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, contradicting Libby's version to a grand jury in the CIA leak investigation.
The testimony came as prosecutors prepared to rest their penury case against Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff.
That discrepancy is at the heart of Libby's perjury and obstruction trial. He is accused of lying to investigators about his conversations with
Russert, the host of "Meet the Press" testified about a July 2003 phone call in which Libby complained about a colleague's coverage. Libby has said that, at the end of the call, Russert brought up war critic Joseph Wilson and mentioned that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA.
"That would be impossible."
Russert testified. "I didn't know who that person was until several days later."

During Libby's 2004 grand jury testimony, he said Russert told him "all the reporters know" that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA. Libby now acknowledges he had learned about Plame a month earlier from Cheney but says he had forgotten about it and learned it again from Russert as if new.
Libby subsequently repeated the information about Plame to other journalists, always with the caveat that he had heard it from reporters, he has said. Prosecutors say Liby concocted the Russett conversation to shield him from prosecution for revealing information from government sources.

Plame's identity was leaked shortly after her husband began accusing the Bush administration in 2003 of doctoring prewar intelligence on Iraq. Given that news climate, defense attorney Theodore Wells was skeptical about Rusert's account.
"You have the chief of staff of the vice president of the United States
on the telephone and you don't ask him one question about it? Well asked. He followed up moments later with, "As a newspaper who's known for being aggressive and going after the facts, you wouldn't have asked him about the biggest stories in the world that week?"
Russert, who arrived in court on crutches because of a broken ankle, was scheduled to resume testifying Thursday. Pro-users said they plan to rest their case after his testimony.
"What happened is exactly what I told you." Rusert replied.
HPV (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Last semester, a group of students in a social work class began planning to create programs and brochures to spread awareness to students about HPV.
After spring break, the group will work with residence halls to offer discussion groups that will educate about the vaccine and the virus.
The discussions will involve question and answer forums, videos and interactive presentations.
"It's not an STD that's been widely educated about in general," said Erin Grisier, Yates Center senior. "You have sex education in high school, but they don't tell you about lifetime effects that an STD has."
The vaccine is only available for females ages nine to 26 years.
According to reports, the vaccine was one of the first to prevent any type of cancer.
"I think that as women, this is a huge step in public health. It's a time for us to step up and advocate for ourselves." Grisier said.
The Wellness Resource Center will sponsor Johnson as part of its "Meet the Provider" series.
Johnson will speak with students about HPV, the vaccine and how to get it.
Kansan staff writer Danae DeShazer can be contacted at ddeshazer@kansan.com.
Mat Doof the Wellness Resource Center said the event is planned for the end of February.

Presidents impact world after office
The power invested in presidents lasts long after their time in office. Years after they leave the White House, presidents can use their influence to address significant national and global issues or, conversely, nothing significant at all. Our votes bestow more than four years of power upon the person we elect and we should be concerned about whom we give political sway. Those who have it can change the world.
There are many examples of recent former presidents and their vice-presidents - who have used their influence in positive ways:
Richard Nixon, despite resigning amidst scandal,
"reinvented himself" by pursuing international affairs, said
Bill Lacey, director of the Dole Institute of Politics. Nixon wrote several books on this topic and was often "sought for advice on international affairs and foreign policy," Lacey said. The Richard Nixon Presidential Library also cites that Nixon was the first former president to relinquish Secret Service protection, an act which saved taxpayers nearly $30 million by the time of his death in 1994.
Jimmy Carter's lengthy list of altruistic efforts won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Carter wrote numerous books to promote global peace and human rights, and also founded the Carter Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to these
Former Vice-President Al Gore also demonstrated the potential of lingering political power. Gore was recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his widely acclaimed documentary "An Inconvenient Truth." The film, which is nominated for an Academy Award, spreads awareness of global warming as a leering and legitimate threat.
causes. Carter has personally traveled around the world to monitor elections, establish health care facilities, encourage sustainable development and to mediate peace negotiations, particularly those involving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In some way, these individuals changed the world. Their influential positions could have been squandered but they were instead used to make the world a better place.
Defying an increasingly partisan environment. Presidents George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton joined forces to establish a relief fund for victims of the Indian Ocean tsunamis as well as victims of Hurricane Katrina in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. Clinton also founded the William J. Clinton Foundation to address global humanitarian issues such as HIV/AIDS; religious and ethnic, conflict and climate change.

Sommerville: Apple's ego will take over
If people from the 1950s saw a picture of a modern-day crowd, they would wonder why so many people had pieces of white spaghetti hanging out of their ears. If someone told them that it was a device for listening to music made by a company named after a fruit, the people would most likely think the modern person was insane.
Apple has infiltrated our society with the Mac, the iPod and, now, the iPhone. Apple also has a reputation for being the smoothe member of the technology world, with its iPod-only music format and its fancy Apple exclusive stores. When all other big companies like Microsoft, Sony and Panasonic unveiled new electronic gadgets at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Apple has Macworld in San Francisco, its own conference for all things Apple, incidentally held at the same time.
Because Apple has gone from computers to music to phones, and because it has quite an ego, it's only a matter of time before the company starts branching out. Here are some products to expect in the next few years.
The iPillow! It comes in six different colors, all bearing the Apple logo in the center. It also works with your iPod so you can listen to music as you sleep. It will also work with your iPhone, so you don't have to even move to be awakened by the phone. Because it's an Apple
The iBookbag is next. The six different colors are standard. The standard version will hold about 1,000 books, and the expanded version will hold up to 20,000. But the bag will only carry Apple endorsed books designed on Apple computers
On the smaller end of the scale is the amazing iPencil. The pencil will only come in the classic white and silver finish and will have a writing life of up to one month for consistent users. The iPencil will only write on the also up and coming iPaper — available only at Apple stores — which will only cost 99 cents per sheet.
Next up is the iLaundrybasket. It has the standard sleek white and silver finish, with the Apple logo on the bottom. The regular version will hold about 700 socks, but if you buy the bigger version, it can hold up to 10,000 socks. It also works with your iPod and iPhone so you can listen to music and take phone calls as you are carrying your laundry. It will not be compatible with any clothes bought at Wal-Mart, Target, any thrift stores or Old Navy, however. After all, it is an Apple product. It has to look good.
These products might be a little hard to find in stores. If Apple wants to continue its amazing sales, it will probably have to end up embracing the other members of the technology world. It will have to go to the same conferences and even make its products compatible with other brands. In fact, Apple's computers run Microsoft Office software, so it's only a matter of time before Apple has to come down from its pedestal to mingle with the commoners in the technology world. The only problem is that Apple won't mingle unless money is on the line.

My wife and I have gone to A&M basketball games for many years, so we were excited to make the trip to Lawrence this past weekend. Then I saw the ticket prices on the online auctions and, to say the least, it was a little shocking. I kept asking people, "What is wrong with those people?" But I reluctantly paid the price and we on our way.
I can report to you today — regardless of the outcome, though it did help a lot, every penny of those tickets was worth it.
product — and Apple is notorious for having its products only work with other Apple products — it won't work with Microsoft-related positions like sleeping on your back or stomach. You will have to sleep in the Apple-copyrighted/protected position on your side. One night's sleep will only cost 99 cents.

Space: the not so final frontier
Some of you are majoring in some type of science, or at least sleeping off your hangover in science class, which is basically the same thing. This is good news, because so far science has been a pretty big disappointment. There have been a few advances, like the food dehydrator, but I'm still waiting for the rocket car and the house on the moon I was promised by my elementary school science classes.

Sometimes science takes a step backwards. For instance, even though multiple laboratory tests have demonstrated salt's ability to melt ice, KU continues to use sand instead. When used in sufficient quantities, sand can completely obscure the snow and ice making you think you are in sunny south Florida instead of where you actually are, which is freezing off your various reproductive organs on the frozen tundra.
Of course when it finally comes, space travel will look boringly familiar. Space ports will look exactly like airports, complete with overpriced paperback books and a poor magazine selection. Just like airports were designed to look like train stations, which were designed to look like sailing ports. The first cave man to sell trips out of the cave first scratched numbers over the exits and sold packaged sandwiches to the passengers, whose pterodactyl was delayed because of thunderstorms in Atlanta.
The latest promise of science is space travel. For a long time, space travel was restricted to highly skilled astronauts, like Yuri Gagarin and Buzz Aldrin. Lance Bass include expanded that group to include former members of boy bands. Some guy who won a contest almost went, but the taxes were too high. Any day now you too might be able to go into space.
Even when science comes up with some sort of revolutionary breakthrough, scientists try their best to make it look exactly like the technology it's replacing. Scientists know that too radical a change will lead to a riot.

STUDY ABROAD
Professor creates South African summer study abroad program
BY RACHEL BOCK
Rich culture, complex history and beautiful landscapes inspired a new summer study abroad program in South Africa.
The new program, "Society Culture and Politics in South Africa", is the first and only program that the University of Kansas offers in an English-speaking African country.
It is a partnership with Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa, and is available to undergraduate students with a grade point average of 3.0 or above.
Byron Caminero-Santangelo, associate professor of English and director of graduate studies, created the program after spending about two months in South Africa for conferences and travel. He visited Rhodes University last October.
He said he was impressed by both the program and its location.
"I came across some study abroad options they already had there, and the idea of bringing a group came up." Caminero-Santengo said.
Grahamstown, a town of about 100,000 on the Eastern Cape, contains Afrikaans, British and Xhosa cultures.
The British founded the city as a military outpost in 1812. Its colonial legacy is still visible in its historic buildings.
Its landscape varies from the Karoo desert to beaches and forested mountain ranges
Grahamstown is ideal. Caminoero Sanupolo said, because it's small enough to get an idea of how apartheid was organized in urban space.
"In most cities it is very difficult to see this," he said.
Rhodes University, established in 1904, hosts short term exchange programs with Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. While at Rhodes, KU students would live in university residence halls.
Jessie Funk, Manhattan senior and peer advisor at the Office of Study Abroad, studied and volunteered in a domestic shelter in Cape Town, South Africa.
Last spring she worked on a research project about conceptions of rape and partner violence. This semester, she has helped promote the new program by sharing her story with undergraduate classes.
Funk said what makes South Africa unique is its diversity, both cultural and economical.
It has 11 official languages and contains areas of both extreme wealth and poverty.
"There tends to be a lot of stereotypes about Africa in general," she said. "This is a way to get an experience of what Africa is really like."
Before leaving in July, Cammero-
Santangelo will meet with students
once a week to discuss South
African novels. This will give them
a broad introduction to South

in Recent South African Fiction and Topics in African Studies.
What makes the program appealing, Caminero-Santangelo said, is that it both gives students a broad introduction and allows them to focus on a specific area of interest.
The program, which lasts roughly
a month, offers six credit hours
When students arrive in Grahamstown, they would receive a week-long introduction into contemporary South African history.
In the second week, they would have the opportunity to participate in the Grahamstown National Arts Festival, the largest arts festival in Africa.
During the week, they would attend events that promote contemporary poetry, art, music and culture.
In the final two weeks, students could choose one of three areas of interest: HIV/AIDS, development, or the environment.
They would then take excursions related to their chosen tonic.
Carnero Santangelo said that the program is especially beneficial to dedicated, mature students interested in African Studies, development issues, environmental issues or geography.
The application deadline is March 1.

Burrito restaurant closes as competitor raises prices
Lawrence burrito butts may have noticed that the Qdoba Mexican Grill, 10th and Massachusetts streets, closed and prices increased at the Chipote Mexican Grill, near 9th and Massachusetts streets, in January.
raised meat comes from animals who are fed vegetarian diets and never gives hormones or antibiotics.
However, Chris Arnold, media relations representative from Chipotle, said the events at the two restaurants that are about a block apart were unrelated, and the price increase occurred in all Kansas City-area Chipotle restaurants.
Prices for different items increased by amounts from 35 to 60 cents. Entrees with chicken increased 55 cents, while meals with steak rose 60 cents and items with pork caritas went up 35 cents.
Arnold said prices increased because restaurants began using only naturally raised chicken, beef and pork. Before, only their pork was naturally raised. He said naturally
Arnold said some competition for customers wasn't a bad thing; but he said the closing of the Qdoba restaurant would likely have some benefits for Chipotle.
"I imagine we'll pick up some Qdoba customers, but we have a very loyal customer base of our own," Arnold said. "If that grows in part because of Qdoba closing, that would be fine with us."
John White, franchisee of the Qdoba restaurant, declined to comment on the specific reasons for Qdoba's closing.
"We just chose to no longer be a franchise of Odobas?" White said.
Jessica Blase, Qdoba guest relations representative, said she hoped Qdoba customers would visit other locations.
"The decision was based on a number of factors but was certainly done with consideration to the impact on our guests," Blase said.

Rush leads team to strong victory
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
It's tough to single out one dome inating play from the Jayhawks 97. 70 victory against the Wildcats.
It might be the one where, with the layhawks up by five late in the first half, Brandon Rush answered with a three-pointer. Rush was asked if he remembered that shot.
The layawhaws lit up the Wildcats from the inside and the outside, off screens and all alone, physically and psychologically.
"Nah," he said. "But I made a lot of threes."
"That's what we can do when we play 40 full minutes," Rush said.
Closing this game wasn't a problem either, as the lajahawks came out of the locker room with the same sense of focus that gave them
After freshman forward Jason Bennett proved unable to handle the attack, Huggins went to Darren Kent — yes Darren Kent — to play the second half. During the past six games, Kent has played less than 5 minutes. He played 14 on Wednesday.
"If you have a lead, you give the appearance of it being insurmountable if you come out and play well," coach Bill Self said.
Kansas State coach Bob Huggins brought a lot of hype to Lawrence, but he didn't bring anybody who could contain the Jayhawk big men.

Young team opens season in California

Kansas softball kicks off the 2007 season today at the Campbell-Cartier Classic in San Diego.
The 2006 Big 12 Conference post-season champions welcome back 10 letter winners and add eight newcomers to the squad that went to its second straight NCAA Regional last season.
Leading the way for the layhawks, who are predicted to finish sixth in the Big 12, is senior pitcher Kassie Humphrews.
Humphreys is the Conference's top returning pitcher, as she was a
2006 All Big 12 selection and compiled a 1.19 ERA and held opponents to a 156 batting average.
"Our strength is going to be our pitching staff," coach Tracy Bunge said. "We are very solid at that position."
The No. 2 spot on the pitching depth chart will be either sophomore Val George or freshman Sarah Vertelka.
Both will contribute and will look to keep Humphreys fresh as the season goes on.

Last-minute home series cancellation forces team to find a new opponent

Price sad Tuesday afternoon, anticipating the weekend's cancellation. "Now that we've had the chance to play, I've got to get these guys on the field even if it means altering our schedule."

Tigers' bowl trips improve recruiting

The Tigers are coming off an 8-5 season capped by a one-point loss to Oregon State in the Sun Bowl. They went to the Independence Bowl after
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri doubled its take of in-state recruits in a 27-player class announced Wednesday, an indication that consecutive bowl trips are making an impact on prospects.
the 2005 season and just completed a $16 million renovation and expansion of its athletic training center.
Among the payoffs: the No. 1 overall prospect in the state as judged by two recruiting publications, and two players from Texas rated just outside the Top 25 in the country by Rivals.com.
According to the Web site, Missouri landed eight of the top 14 players in the state.
Enthusiasm is tempered by the
uncertainty of recruiting and the viability of the many recruiting services.
The supposedly weak initial recruiting class featured quarterback Brad Smith and defensive lineman C.J. Moseley, both of whom are in the NFL.
"We've also had some classes that were supposed to be really good and some of our big-timers never played a down for us," said Dave Yost, recruiting coordinator and quarterbacks coach. "So, you never know what's going to happen."

Driver Jeff Burton (31) leads the field past the green flag at the start of the NASCAR Daytona 500 auto race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Feb. 19, 2006.
Numerous changes add excitement to upcoming 2007 racing season
JENNA FRYER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Buckle up, race fans, for a season that promises to be like nothing ever seen before.
With the mandated Car of Tomorrow, changes to the championship format. Toyota's arrival, ESPN's return and the introduction of former Formula One driver Juan Pablo Montoya, 2007 will prove this ain't your daddy's NASCAR.
This season will be pivotal for NASCAR, which looks to rebound after a mediocre 2006 that saw television ratings slip and made many wonder if it had reached its plateau.
"We're in a very strong position," he insisted. "We are still the No. 2 sport on television. Promoters continue to enjoy great ticket sales throughout the year, and I know 2007, with all of the things that are going on, will make for an exciting season."
It starts this weekend at Daytona International Speedway, where the best of the Nextel Cup Series will kick start the season with Saturday night's exhibition Budweiser Shootout.
NASCAR chairman Brian France hasn't strayed from his belief that all is well in his family-owned business.
Preparations begin the next day for the Feb. 18 season-opening Daytona 500. The race will mark the first time a Japanese automaker will take the green flag in NASCAR's top series as Toyota's expected to have a handful of Camrys in the field. Seven drivers will race Camrys this season, including two-time Daytona 500 winner Michael Waltrip and 1999 cup champion Dale Jarrett.
The inclusion of a foreign maker in a decidedly American sport has rankled many longtime fans, which Jarrett believes is closed-minded.
"I'm as American as the next person that's here and I pay my taxes just like everybody else and I love this country." Jarrett said. "Toyota is a big part of the United States economy."
The race also will include Columbia native Montoya, who will be the only non-white driver in NASCAR's top series. A former CART, IndyCar and F1 driver, he is starting what is expected to be a bumpy transition from open-wheel dominance to stock-car struggles.
An aggressive and outspoken driver, he's also proven to be a quick study, leading many to predict he'll visit Victory Lane at least once this season.
"This is a learning process for me, and there's no rush for me to be perfect," Montoya said. "But I am also not here for fun. This is serious business, and I plan on winning races."
NASACR is also ramping up its exposure through a NASACR channel on Sirius Satellite Radio and by welcoming back ESPN after a long hiatus.
ESPN was one of NASCAR's original broadcast partners, but the network was frozen out of coverage in the 2001 television package that awarded TV rights to Fox and NBC.
But ESPN is back with a vengeance, devoting hours of air time and a nightly "NASCAR Now" program. It will also be home of the Busch Series, giving it the first stable programming schedule in its history
"A lot has changed at ESPN since we did our last race in 2000," said John Skipper, vice president of content.
P
All that coverage should make it easy to decide if NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow helps or hinders the sport.
The futuristic vehicle, designed and developed by NASCAR, will be phased into competition this season with 16 races, beginning with the March event at Bristol Motor Speedway.
It also comes down to winning, as NASCAR puts an emphasis on winning with a new Chase format.
NASCAR always has been about consistency, with most drivers content to settle for a top 10 finish. But France hopes to change that by awarding five more points for victories this year.
Those wins also will be good for bonuses when the Chase begins — for every victory scored during the "regular season" a driver will get a 10-point cushion to be used in seeding the playoff field.

K-State recruits offensive class for '07
Wildcats look for recruits to add depth, make immediate impact for team
BY STEVE BRISENDINE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — Kansas State concentrated on offense in its 2007 recruiting class, looking for players to catch Josh Freeman's passes and block for Freeman and running back Leon Patton and James Johnson.
The 32-player class, announced Wednesday, includes six receivers and six offensive linemen. Eight players are junior college transfers.
Freeman, Patton and Johnson were among coach Ron Prince's first recruiting class last year, and all three played key roles in the Wildcats' 7-6 record and first bowl appearance since the 2003 season.
But the Wildcats were thin in the line all year, often starting several freshmen up front, and lost their two top receivers, Yamon Figurs and Jermaine Moreira, to graduation.
"Last year we tried to address our needs defensively, and I think it really paid off for us." Prince said. "We've got some good depth in the secondary and quite a bit of play."
able depth on the defensive line, and because of that we were able to stay fresh for the bulk of the year even though we had some injuries"
Now, Prince offense's turn to get the same treatment.
"We made a conscious effort to go out and get guys who could either upgrade the roster specifically or provide us the kind of playable depth that we had on defense last year," he said.
"He's a very athletic tackle who played both sides, right and left, because of the style they played — flip-flowing the offensive line based on the strength of the formation,"
"All three of these players were heavily recruited. Our assistant coaches did a great job of getting in there."
Several junior college transfers had the best chance to make an immediate impact in the offensive line, Prince said.
Alesana Alesana, a 6-foot- 6, 295-pound tackle from San Francisco Community College who signed in December, was expected to provide both athleticism and versatility.

Prince said.
"He's a run-and-
offensive
lineman. You'll
enjoy watching
him."
Another offensive tackle, Penisini "Ben" Liu, is a 6-foot-6, 325-pound transfer from Sacramento City College.
"He has the ability to play either tackle position or move inside, so we're very excited about him," Prince said. "He's only in his third year of playing football, but despite all that you can see some tremendous plays on the tape. We're really excited to have the opportunity to work with him."
Eldridge Ridge, another tackle, is 6-foot-6 and 279 pounds and was a
two year starter at Compton College in California.
"All three of these players were heavily recruited," Prince said. "Our assistant coaches did a great job of getting in there."
The list of juco transfers also included two wide receivers, Ernie Pierce and Deon Murphy. Pierce is a transfer from Santa Barbara Community College, while Murphy is from Wichita and played at Coffeeville Community College.
Kansas State did not neglect its defense entirely, with three transfers
- defensive tackle Michael Abana;
defensive back Gary Chandler and outside linebacker Chris Patterson
- and freshman defensive tackle Xzavier Stewart all expected to see significant playing time.
Chandler originally committed to Kansas State, when Bill Snyder was still the Wildcats' coach, before going to Coffeville.
Aloha, Pro Bowlers
"He was one of the very key gets for us in this class." Prince said. "He's a veteran player who's familiar with K-State and has a passion for it."

Ohio State twins to compete in Beijing games
Paul Hamm, of the United States, competes on the rings during the men's individual all-around final at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Hamm announced his return to gymnastics Tuesday.
BY NANCY ARMOUR ASSOCIATED PRESS
A few months ago, Paul Hamm was pretty sure he was finished with gymnastics.
The more they talked, though, the Hamms realized they weren't quite ready to walk away. The Beijing Olympics are a year and a half away.
The Olympic gold medalist and twin brother Morgan were having too much fun being regular college students. They actually had free time, and no coach or training schedule to dictate what they should do with it.
and the brothers want one more chance to show what they can do.
And, they hope, snag the United States a few more medals in the process.
Paul and Morgan Hamm's announcement Tuesday said that they are returning to competitive gymnastics after an 18-month layoff. This was an immediate boost
"The time off gave us what we needed to really develop the motivation that we have right now," Paul Hamm said. "We see a goal in front of us, and we're going for it. Sometimes when you're in the daily grind of gymnastics, you forget it."
for the U.S. men, who plummeted from the silver medal in Athens to an unseemly 13th-place finish at last year's world championships.
The Hammys, now 24, were two of the world's best gymnasts when they went on hiatus. They were responsible for half of the U.S.' squad's scores in the team final at the Athens Olympics, helping the American men win their first medal in 20 years. Paul Hamm was the first U.S. man to win the Olympic all-around title.
The time off gave them a look at what life was like outside of the gym. Because they've been doing gym-
mastics since grade school,theyd always had to juggle schoolwork and training.
The twins got so used to being "regular" college students, they thought as recently as last summer that their competitive careers were over.
"A love of the sport is a big part of it." Morgan Hamm said of what changed their minds. "Our No. 1 goal is to help the team get back into medal contention."
The Hamms are training six days a week at Ohio State and said they're surprised at how quickly their skills have returned. Their
bodies no longer ache from a decade's worth of pounding, and the shoulder injury that limited Morgans strength improved so much he's hoping to compete in the all around for the first time since 2000.
They plan to compete at the U.S. championships in August in San Jose and then resume a full competitive schedule in 2008 that will culminate with the Olympics in Beijing.
"That would be nice to end our career in this sport with a different note," Paul Hamm said. "One without controversy, hopefully, and a relatively high amount of success."

KEALING (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Coach Bill Self will tell you his team played great during both games; that they managed to finish on Wednesday when they quit during the last five minutes of Sunday.
That will tell you what's the big difference between the team that took the court Wednesday and the one that left the floor on Saturday.
"We've got to learn to close out games," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "This was one of the first games where we played 40 minutes."
Halleluja! Play 40 minutes. A great idea - one that could really turn things around. Never mind that the idea has always been to play from tip-off to buzzer.
This Kansas team has talent coming out of its ears. But, for some reason, the players seem to think that once they have a lead, it'll stick around. Maybe that worked in high school, but there are too many teams in college basketball that are too good for that attitude to get the team very far.
Everything seemed to go right for Kansas Wednesday night. The quart of inside men scored 41 compared to 22 points they had
Saturday, Freshman guard Sherron Collins said the forward's performance, especially off the bench, really were key to the game.
The unanswered question that is looming out there is whether the Jayhaws can win a game where everything doesn't go their way. Self said the biggest difference Wednesday was his team made shots
Can the Jayhawks win a game with their defense, when their shots don't seem to be finding the bottom of the net?
That's going to happen this season. If not during the regular season then during the tournament.
And the real question will be whether the jayhawks find a way to string things together and build a win. Or, will the team run away again, like it has four times this season?
If they do, check under the bleachers at Allen Fieldhouse. I didn't have a chance to check there Wednesday night.
"We've worked on setting lots of screens for people," freshman forward Darrell Arthur said.

Edited by Mark Vierthaler
VICTORY (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Indeed, the layhawks scored 26 points on second chances. Self attributed that to the guards penetrating to the inside, and the big men following up on the rebounds.
"Our guards did a good job of getting in the paint," he said.
The victory brings a sense of relief back to Jayhawk fans, who had heard in the days leading up to the game that these Wildcats were a better team than had previously visited the fieldhouse.
"They're still tough," Rush said, "it just wasn't their night."
The players all talked of the need to put Saturday's loss to Texas A&M behind them.
In that game, the Jayhawks matched the Aggies physically, but were unable to turn possessions into
"There were a lot of similarities to Saturday," Self said. "The difference between being good and being great is if the ball goes in the hole."
That's what happened Wednesday for Rush, who finished with a team-high 18 points, as well as including four three-pointers.
points late in the game.
Freshman guard Sherron Collins, who occasionally guards Rush in practice, said that you have to step out to guard him when he shoots a three, because he's proven he can make it. Collins didn't have encouraging advice for future opponents.
"He can shoot and he can drive," he said. "I don't know how to guard him."

K-State made a total of 30 free throws, including a 7-of-8 performance from Cartier Martin, who has made 93 percent of his free throws during conference play. K-State also did well when they got the ball inside, but those opportunities were few and far between. Meanwhile the Jayhawks were able to effectively move the ball into the paint.

Kansas 97, Kansas State 70
BY MARK DENT
Records — Kansas State 17-
7, 6-3 Big 12; Kansas 20-4, 7-2.
For the first couple minutes of the second half Wednesday night, Kansas State coach Bob Huggins didn't move.
**Kansas** — Wright 3-7 3-4 9; Kaun 4-5 1-4 9; Robinson 3-4 0-0 6; Chalmers 3-9 4-4 11; Rush 6-11 2-2 18; Arthur 7-9 0-0 14; Collins 5-10 1-2 11; Stewart 0-1 0-0; Case 1-2 0-0 2; Bechard 0-0 0-0; Morningstar 0-0 2-2; Jackson 5-8 3-6 13; Witherpoon 0-1 0-0 0; Kleinmann 1-1 0-0 2; Totals 38-68 16-24 9.
Decked out in a purple sweater vest, he sat in his cushioned chain with his head resting on his left fist. Huggins stared at the court casually, like a father watching his children play in the front yard.
So when the seemingly disinterested Huggins finally stood up for a significant amount of time at the 17-minute mark, Kansas students let him hear it just like they did with former rival Missouri coach Norm Stewart.
"Sit down Hug-gins," they chanted. "Sit down Hug-gins."
The students, who hoped to get a strong reaction from the sometimes volatile Huggins, had no luck. Huggins stayed calm and cool in his first game as head coach against his in-state rival, although his team wilted in the second half, losing 97-70.
From then on, it didn't get easier for Huggins. In his first game as coach in the Sunflower Showdown, Huggins realized how tough playing against his rival could be as Kansas blew out Kansas State.
"They were better than us, they were way better than us," Huggins said. "When they make shots, they
are hard. They're long, they're athletic, and they're good. In my estimation this is one of the most talented teams in the country."
The talent level may have favored the lahawks, but the margin of victory came as a shock. Before the game started, media had penciled in Huggins as a possible candidate for Big 12 Coach of the Year. The former Cincinnati head man had orchestrated an impressive midseason turnaround, coaching the Wildcats to seven straight victories. With Huggins on the sidelines, this game was supposed to matter.
From early in the first half, it became apparent that Huggins's first game against Kansas would not be a memorable one. All the characteristics shown by his team during its seven-game win streak disappeared. Cartier Martin couldn't score. The Jayhawks tore apart the Wildcats' defense in every way: moves in the post, dribble drives from guards and three-point shooting.
"Our margin for error is very small." Huggins said. "If we don't do things right, if we don't block out, if we don't get back, we're not going to be good."
Lack of composition on the court wasn't Kansas State's only problem. Huggins's temper didn't flare during the second half blowout, but the same couldn't be said for center Jason
Bennett. He fouled out with 7:20 left in the second half and stormed off the floor. The crowd taunted him, and Bennett shouted back and pounded his seat in frustration.
The only person who saved Kansas State from total embarrassment was jermaine Maybank. He scored 26 points and was the only Wildcat consistently attacking the basket.
"I just try to do the intangibles, the things Coach Huggins asks me to do," Maybank said. "Unfortunately it probably wasn't enough tonight."
Neither was having Huggins on the sideline. He has made the Wildcats a better team in his first season, and his presence added a new sub-plot to an otherwise moribund rivalry. That aura helped bring new interest to the Sunflower Showdown, but it didn't bring Huggins's team a victory.
"I think he had a lot to do with the hype around the game," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "This is the first time we played really well against K-State since I've been here. I totally respect Bob Huggins, but he didn't shoot one ball tonight. But I think his arrival has created excitement."

view from press row
> Jason Bennett is 7-foot-3?
Could've fooled me. The presence of one of the tallest players in the NCAA is negated by the fact that he never uses his height to his advantage. There's no excuse for him to repeatedly lose rebounds to 6-foot-8 Darnell Jackson.
Just when you think the Jayhawk lineup is established, Darnell Jackson has a terrific game inside the paint. Rodrick Stewart also snagged some prime minutes for the Jayhawks, who now have even more options on the bench.
Cartier Martin didn't enter
the game until more than four minutes had already been played, and the score was 10:2. You'd think Bob Huggins would have called on his team's leading scorer a lot sooner.
A special press row shout-out to the student who ate the pizza on-camera after winning the Delivery of the Game, settling a long-standing debate on whether Big Jay was delivering pizza or a coupon.
Huggins didn't bite and go crazy, despite the best attempts of the Kansas crowd. With two minutes to play in the first half, Huggins argued a call on the
baseline, prompting students to shout for a technical foul. Huggins simply rolled his eyes and continued coaching.
I've always maintained there is such a thing as waiting too long to shoot. With 10 minutes left in the game, K-State's Cartier Martin got the ball wide open on the perimeter. He only had five points, so it would have been a big shot for his confidence. He grabbed the ball, held it for a count, then shot — off the rim. Even uncontested, I think players are better shooters when they let it happen instinctively.

MURDER
Dahmer not murderer of 'Most Wanted' host's son
Still no clear suspect for the 1981 killing of Adam Walsh
BY MATT SEDENSKY ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — The host of "Americas Most Wanted" said he's seen no evidence linking his son's unsolved kidnapping and slaying to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, despite a
recent report laying out a possible connection.
Theories of a Dahmer tie to the 1981 killing of John Walshs 6-year-old son Adam date back years but resurfaced with a report in the

Arthur Jay Harris, who wrote the Daily Business Review story in December, has written three true crime books — including an unpublished one on Adam's killing that he is trying to sell.

"America's Most Wanted" issued a news release Tuesday saying its producers and investigators have long been aware of the rumors but that no credible information has emerged. Walsh believes another serial killer, Ottis Tootsie, killed his son.

Adam's head was found 100 miles away in a Vero Beach canal.
The witnesses told police they recognized Dahmer's photo after he was arrested in Wisconsin in 1992. Dahmer lived in South Florida at the time of Adams' slaying and reportedly had access to a blue van.
Prosecutors said they would re-examine past statements related to a possible Dahmer connection.
Toole, a drafter who was convicted of or pleaded guilty to several murders and claimed hundreds of others, told police he killed the boy with the help of a partner. But the alleged accomplice was in jail at the time and Toole was unable to correctly describe the child's hair or clothing.

Authorities made a series of crucial errors, losing the bloodstained carpeting from Toole's car — preventing DNA testing — and the car itself. Still, Toole's niece told Walsh that her uncle gave her a prison deathbed confession to the murder in September 1996.
"I'm not way off on this," Harris said Wednesday. "This is something that needs to be investigated."
Walsh has said he believes the confession in part because investigators found clothing similar to Adams's at Tools'Jacksonville home.

Stress overwhelms astronaut Personal, professional life may have been too much for Nowak

--jacket. She was later released on bail, with orders to stay away from the other woman and to wear a monitoring device; she faced a medical exam at Johnson Space Center.
HOUSTON - Lisa Nowak chose a juggling act of dauntingly high difficulty: to be an astronaut and a mother of three.
Her background — high school valedictorian, Naval Academy graduate, test pilot — seemed to equip her for the challenge. Yet as she and some of her acquaintances acknowledged, the stresses on her and her family were extraordinarily intense.
NASA, at a loss to explain what went wrong, said it would revamp its psychological screening process in light of Nowak's arrest. The review will look at how astronauts are screened for psychological problems and whether Nowak's dealings with co-workers signaled complications.
On Wednesday, transformed from space hero to criminal suspect, Nowak returned to Houston for a medical assessment, a day after she was charged in Florida with attempted murder and attempted kidnapping in what police depicted as a love triangle involving a fellow astronaut.
The woman viewed as a role model by the schoolchildren she often addressed was met on the tarmac by police and escorted into a waiting squad car. Her head was covered by a
Nowak's children were with her husband, Richard, who works for a NASA contractor. She was being replaced as a ground communicator for the next space shuttle mission in March, a job in which she would talk to the astronauts from Houston during their flight.
Some part of any breakdown may deny rational explanation, but those who know Nowak and NASA could sense the stress she was under.
Columbia disaster, said Nowak provided invaluable support to his family then, at the cost of losing time with her own family.
Dr. Jon Clark, a former NASA flight surgeon who lost his wife, astronaut Laurel Clark, in the 2003
"She was the epitome of managing a very hectic career, making sacrifices to accommodate her family," Clark said in a telephone interview. "All those stresses can conspire to be overwhelming. Clearly she suffered a lot of mental anguish.
"There is a lot of marital stress in the astronaut corps in general — a huge amount," Clark said, "It's not unheard of for things to change into relationships that are beyond professional."
Clark also said there can be extra pressure on NASAs female astronauts.
"They made more sacrifices than the 'Right Stuff' guys," he said,
"They have to balance two careers — to be a mom and wife and an astronaut. You don't come home at night, like most of the male astronauts, and have everything ready for you."

Rocker's jail time cut short
BY VU TIEN HONG ASSOCIATED PRESS
Glitter, convicted of molesting two Vietnamese girls, will be released in August 2008, said Tran
HANOI, Vietnam — A Vietnamese court reduced former British rocker Gary Glitter's child molestation sentence Wednesday, cutting his three-year term by three months as part of a nationwide Lunar New Year prison amnesty, a judge said.
Thi Thien Huong, a judge on the deciding panel.
Vietnam reduces the sentences of inmates with good prison records just before the Lunar New Year in.
The 62-year-old Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was convicted in March 2006 of committing "obscene acts with children." The incidents involved two girls, ages 10 and 11.
He has been jailed since November 2005.
Under Vietnamese law, the panel could have reduced his sentence by 18 months, but prison authorities have recommended just a three-month reduction.
"We all agreed that obscene acts with children should be condemned," Huong said.
The aging glam-rocker hit his musical peak in the 1970s, but his crowd-pleasing anthem "Rock and Roll (Part 2)" is still played at sporting events.

"I never knew Simon to be nice," Cowington said, "If you said, 'Hey,

Covington's self titled debut album on Lyric Street Records will be released April 17. The first single, "A Different World," is rising on the country charts.
Covington said that he got everything he wanted from his "Idol" experience.

NCAA BASKETBALL
Teamwork leads Buckeyes past Wolverines for 23rd home win
BY RUSTY MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLEMIBUS. Ohio — Seven-footter Greg Oden gets all the attention for No. 3 Ohio State. Maybe the shortest Buckeye deserves some of the focus.
Mike Conley Jr. scored a career-high 23 points and high school teammate Oden created havoc at the defensive end to lead the Buckeyes past Michigan 76-63 on Tuesday night.
"Conley's outstanding," Michigan coach Tommy Amaker said "He scores when it's there, he takes care of the basketball and he keeps everybody happy. Hes tremendous." I thought he was certainly the difference."
Conley was a constant for the Buckeyes (21.1, 3.9 - Big Ten) as Oden battled foul trouble and sat out 8 1/2 minutes of the second half.
Conley and Oden guided Lawrence North to Indiana state championships the last three seasons before coming to Ohio State. Their coach, Jack Keeter always said his team could win if Oden didn't have a good game but not if Conley wasn't on top of his game.
In the only other game involving a ranked team Tuesday night, San Diego State beat No. 15 Air Force 62-41.
Oden added 15 points, eight rebounds and six blocks — in addition to altering the tractioney of several other shots inside. The Buckeyes totaled 14 blocks, one shy of a 27-year-old school record.
Jamar Butler added 11 points for Ohio State, which has won eight straight games overall and its last 23 home games.
Courtney Sims had 17 points and Dion Harris and Eke Udoh 14 apiece for the Wolverines (16-8, 4-5), who have lost four straight.
Ohio State's fans pointed at Michigan's bench and chanted "N-I-T N-I-T" in the final minute.
The Wolterines are 1-9 against top 10 teams under Amaker, and 1-21 over the past nine years. They've lost their last 11 road games against teams in the top 10.
A snowstorm that dumped up to 3 inches of snow on the Columbus area brought traffic to a standstill and delayed the arrival of the officials.
Michigan got as close as 56-52 when Oden returned at the 8:52 mark.
While the Wolverines were managing just a free throw over the next 4 minutes, Ron Lewis hit a 3. Oden tossed in a long hook shot and then he and Otello Funter, who had five blocks, each blocked shots at the other end.
Defenseman set to break record
NHL
BY ARNIE STAPLETON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER — Karlis Skratstm, on the verge of breaking Tim Horton's NHL record for durability by a defenseman, has never shied away from pucks or pain.
A life of bumps, bruises and breaks attest to the 32-year-old's all-out style. He constantly dropping to the ice or skating into the shooting lanes to block shots for the Colorado Avalanche.
Skristmas is set to break Horton's nearly 40-year-old record Thursday night against Atlanta when he plays in his 487th consecutive regular season game.
There's no secret to the streak, he said.
Horton played from 1950-74, mostly with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was still commuting from Toronto while playing for the Buffalo Sabres when he was killed in a one-car accident on Feb. 21, 1974, while on his way
"Maybe just hard work and a lot of effort. I'm just getting ready and try to keep my focus on every game." Skrastins said.
Horton's record was established from Feb. 11, 1961, to Feb. 4, 1968. The overall NHL record for consecutive games played at any position is 964 set by Doug Jarvis over 13 seasons from 1975-87.

Gators attract impressive lineup for next season
JOSH DUBOW ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Florida won the recruiting crown in nearly as dominating fashion as the national championship.
The Gators capitalized on last month's national title win over Ohio State to bring in the top recruiting class in the country Wednesday.
The Gators also were picked as the top class by SuperPrep. Rivals.com and National Blue Chips, beating out Southern California, SEC rivals Tennessee and LSU, and Texas.
"No one is even that close to them," said recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CSTV. "They got help everywhere. In the past 10 years, this has to rank right at the top in recruiting classes. Every position is absolutely loaded."
The Trojans closed strong, adding top running backs Joe McKnight from Louisiana and Broderick Green from Arkansas to a class that already included another top back in Marc Tyler; defensive end Everson Griffen, SuperPrep's No. 1 overall player; the nation's No. 1 receiver.
Ronald Johnson from Michigan; and blue chip linebacker Chris Galippo from Anaheim, Calif.
"USC continues to be the place that a lot of skill position players look to first," said analyst Bobby Burton of Rivals.com. "That doesn't mean the guys they get on defense
arent special. It just means they have the pick of the litter when it comes to offensive skill players."
But the Gators class was best of all, signing eight of the top 16 players in talent rich Florida and the No. 1 players from South Carolina, Indiana, Maryland and New England, according to Rivals.com.
"There's no question they've moved into the catbird seat in Florida. They have taken advantage of tough times for both the Hurricanes and Seminoles."
Florida's class includes Rivals' third-best pro-style quarterback in John Brantley, the nation's top guard
"They play an exciting brand of ball on offense and defense and a lot of kids want to be in that situation."

Coach Urban Meyer will count on some of those

Florida's haul was part of a banners recruiting year for the SEC, where
Tennessee, LSU, South Carolina,
Auburn, Georgia and Alabama all
received at least one top-10 ranking.
"The SEC is loaded." Burton said. "They are year in and year out the most talented conference. But even this is unusual."
The biggest surprise was at South Carolina, where Steve Spurrier brought in a top-10 class to a school that normally struggles to get blue chip players. Receiver Chris Culliver of North Carolina leads a class with quarterback Stephen Garcia of Tampa, Fla.
Other schools that did surprisingly well included North Carolina, Pittsburgh, and Illinois.
Illinois coach Ron Zook, who recruited many of the players that led Florida to the national title, signed one of the nation's best receivers, Arrelle Benn out of Washington, D.C., and beat out Notre Dame for one of the top defensive linemen, Martez Wilson of Chicago.
He put together a class that rivals Ohio State and Michigan for the best in the Big Ten, despite winning only two conference games the past two seasons.

Celtics lose 15th game in a row
The Boston Celtics are in the midst of the worst losing streak in club history and there is no relief in sight.
Boston dropped its 15th straight game, losing to Detroit 109-102 on Tuesday night. The Celtics last won on Jan. 5 and have allowed at least 100 points in five straight games.
To make matters worse, Boston had to send forward Paul Pierce home with an infected left elbow. Pierce, who missed Boston's last 23 games with a foot injury, is expected to be hospitalized for at least two days, which would push his possible return back past the All-Star break.
"This isn't fun," Boston coach Doc Rivers said. "These guys want to win a game, and I need to find a way to make that happen."
In other games, it was: Phoenix
109, Portland 102 in overtime;
Milwaukee 116, Orlando 111; New
York 102, Los Angeles Clippers 90;
and Houston 98, Memphis 90.
In Detroit, Antonio McDyess finished with 18 points in 20 minutes, hitting his first eight shots before Kendrick Perkins blocked the ninth.
"I got some easy baskets early and I just kept going," he said. "He didn't foul me on the ninth one, either. That was a good block."
McDyess and Webber combined to shoot 17-for-22 against Boston's overmatched interior defense.
"We just couldn't stop anything in the post," Wszcierbai said.
Pistons coach Flip Saunders was only disappointed by the fourth quarter, when the Celtics rallied from a 24-point deficit to make the final score respectable.
"Your main guys should have the opportunity to sit down and ice in the fourth quarter of a game like that," he said. "We had to bring those guys back with 5 minutes left to make sure we won the thing."
Suns 109, Trail Blazers 102, OT
At Portland, Ore., Amare Stoudevire scored 36 points and Leandro Barbosa added 23 of his 25 after halftime for the Suns.
Phoenix was missing two-time MVP Steve Nash, who sat out with a shoulder injury that kept him out of the second half in Monday's 113-108 win over Denver.
Stoudemire scored the first five points of overtime.
Zach Randolph had 33 points on 12 of 17 shooting, and Brandon Roy had 27 points for the Trail Blazers.
Bucks 116, Magic 111
At Milwaukee, Ruben Patterson scored 14 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter and the struggling Bucks snapped a four-game losing streak.
Milwaukee won its seventh straight at home against Orlando but has still lost 15 of its last 18 games overall, in part because Michael Redd remains sidelined with a sprained left knee.
Earl Boykins had 24 points, Charlie Villanueva 22 and Charlie Bell 20 for the Bucks.
Dwight Howard had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Magic, his 34th double-double of the season.
Knicks 102, Clippers 90
At New York, Stephon Marbury scored 12 of his 15 points in an early second half run that overwhelmed the Clippers and turned the game around for New York.
Jamal Crawford and Eddy Curry each scored 23 points for the Knicks, who shot poorly and defended worse in the first two quarters before controlling the second half of their second consecutive victory.
New York never led in the first half and trailed by as much as 12. But the Knicks stormed out of halftime with a 24-4 spurt, turning a 10-point deficit into a 10-point lead in a span of 9 1/2 minutes and handing the Clippers their second straight loss.
Elton Brand had 22 points and 13 rebounds for the Clippers, who lost for the third time in 10 games and fell to 1-2 on their seven-game Eastern trip.
Rockets 98, Grizzlies 90
At Memphis, Tenn., Tracy McGrady scored 33 points and had eight assists for the Rockets.
Houston won for the sixth time in the last seven games. Memphis, which has the worst record in the NBA, has lost three straight.
Pau Gasol led Memphis with 30 points and 13 rebounds. Mike Miller added 12 points, but was only 5-for-17 from the field.
BRITISH SOCCER Businessmen try to gain shares, control of club
LONDON — Liverpool chairman David Moores said he would sell his 51 percent stake in the storied club to George Gillett Jr., owner of the Montreal Canadiens, and Tom Hicks, who owns the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Stars.
The $430.8 million offer from Gillett and Hicks included an agreement to pay off about $89 million of club debt and pledged to build and finance a 60,000-seat stadium.
The American businessmen need to acquire 90 percent of the shares through Kop Football Ltd., the British company they formed to launch the bid, before they can assume full control.

PAC-10 FOOTBALL Official fired after replay angle causes bad call
PORTLAND, Ore. — The Pacific-10 Conference official who missed a call during the Oklahoma-Orregon game last season has been told he will not return to the job in that capacity.
Gordon Riese said he received death threats after a call on an onside kick near the end of the Sept. 16 game that the Ducks won 34-33. Televised replays showed the Sooners recovered that kick, but Riese did not see that angle in the replay booth.
Conference officials informed Riese last week that he was relieved of his replay duties. He will remain a Pac-10 technical assistant, making about $350 a game.

When told my mom I was advocating aye themed funerals, the kind of chipped, beaten work he was been working for, she told me and my mother has always been a little embarrassed. She has never loved Bitch-Mow or her tendency to want to dig deeply about condoms make her uncomfortable. The Sex on the hill moniker on the cover of this issue probably holds it up.

SEX: TRY DIFFERENT POSITIONS TO BURN MORE CALORIES
An average woman between 120 and 150 pounds burns 3.5 to five calories per minute during active sex. Cooper says, however, active sex does not just sit on your knees; it can also be done with a轮椅 with your partner or choose a position that allows you to feel the burn.
Sex does the body good and is a stress reliever. In our society, we can use as much stress relief as possible, says Dedraborian a relationship expert at nikethheet.com.
The standard missionary position may not do much in the way of tooning for the person on the bottom, but the person on top works the glutes, thighs and arms. Cooper says they are better positioned by a superior body strength, so they can usually only hold this position for a few minutes.
For a slight variation of the missionary position have the person on top sit with their feet flat on the floor with their arms slightly behind their back. This position works the upper back thigh, butt, calves and trousers because they can to stabilize the upper
For more advanced lovers, have one person on all fours while the other person knees behind. The person kneeling should grab the upper thighs of the person on all fours, while the person on all fours should be fully extended with their legs wrapped around the person. Use a strap or belt to keep the "wheezwarbow", and much like the metal variety you push, it works the arms and abs.
body. Cooper says.
If you want to test your strength, ask him to stand while you give him a blowbow. it will make him work in the knees. It also provides a different, more intense sensation than lying down, because his blood is rushing down towards his manhood. Cooper says
So go head with your bad self — it's good *or you.*

MERIA TRIWANTHA
How exercise can strengthen the spark between you and your partner
by Elyse Weidner
Two years ago, jenny Robert injured her waist while training with the swimming and diving team and was forced to start swimming on dry land. Because of the injury and the resulting surgery, liberts. St. Louis junior, had not owned the coach during his stay on for support and encouragement during her training to start working out on her
own. Or so she thought.
Soon after the injury, Roberts met Bryant, Manent, 2005 graduate. First came friendship, first trip to the gym together
Today, Roberts wist has heated, but the couple continues to work out together in each other they are found the motivation and the energy to make their worksouts and make their workouts successful. But the energy, the sweat and the laughs shared during their three trips to the gym each week have given Roberts and Merriman a pack abs and holding健身。
"It deepens the relationship because you're seeing that person struggle and youre

helping push them through to what they're trying to accomplish 'Roberts says.
A 1995 study in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness revealed that married couples who began a fitness program together were less likely to get married than men and women who began the program on their own.
When a couple exercise together they are not only adding another dimension to the relationship, but they are keeping each other motivated. The New York Basketball Nets, Topper junior and personal trainer at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center
For Roberts and Meriman, their exercise routine begins on the way to the gym when they discuss what kind of workout they want to accomplish that day. They walk on upper body and also or lower body and back, they perform every exercise under a tag-tune method; while one person is lifting weights or running, the other is watching, challenging, competing with each other until they complete the exercise exchange high five and switch places.
Exercising together can not
only deeper a couple's emotional connection but also their sexual one. say Cynthia Akgail, assistant counselor, sport, and exercise science.
Akaga correlates sex and exercisebytheutminalpresence of endorphins, pain-bluing chemicals released after both strenuous exercise and sexual activity. The chemical release creates a feeling of euphoria, "high" feeling that she can easily translate from the gym into the bedroom.
But if you and your partner's bony types are too different or your exercise goals are too varied to accomplish using the tag team method employed by Roberts and Merriman, individual exercise can still strengthen your relationship. Increased physical activity can improve self-esteem and sexual function, guiding you through daily routines and connections in your relationship a confidence boost
A 2003 study by the Harrahs School of Public Health revealed that men who described themselves as physically active were 30 percent less likely to have erection problems than men who weren't physically active. More frequent and longer

erections in young men are best accomplished with regular cardiovascular activities such as running, jogging and biking. Akagi says. These activities strengthen the cardiovascular system, which increases blood flow and stamina.
Exercise can also trigger an increased sexual response in women. A study by Clyde Meston and Boris Gorczak measured the arousal of a number of women on two occasions after watching both a short travel film and then an erotic film. The results, published in a 1996 issue of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, revealed an increase in arousal generated from a significant increase in vaginal pulse amplitude and vaginal blood flow — in the women who exercised for 20 minutes prior to watching the two films.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE GYM...
Make sure you and your partner do your Kegel exercises each day.
What: The pubococcygymus muscles or PC muscles, the floor of the pelvic cavity. Contracting and releasing these muscles repeatedly up to 200 times each day strengthens the area and can increase pain by causing a man's erection and ensure more intense climaxes for both sexes.
**How:** The easiest way to locate your PC muscles is to attempt to stop the flow of urine midstream while you are using the restroom. The muscles your urinary control system uses are the urine flow your PC muscles and the ones you need to tighten and release during your Kegel exercises.

MISSION
partner is not the first thing that crosses Robert's mind after a long workout; she says she still opts for a shower first, but exercising alongside her husband is the result in both his physical fitness and in their emotional connection continues to add to Robert's attraction to her partner. The increased confidence in her body result of regular exercise has also led to more confidence with her relationship with Mrs. Manners she says.
And hearing from your partner that you're at your sexiest when sweaty and drenched from working out is just the kind of motivation that will keep you coming back to the gym.

SHOCK VALUE
OPEN BACK PARADISE CAFE
Casey Shockley says she had only watched porn a few times before taking her job. Now she makes a living selling it.
by Sam Carlson
Casny Shockley, Lawrence resident, didn't think much of the man when he walked into the store. He was wearing a suit and a necklace. Then, he asked her questions about women's dancewear.
This was nothing new to Shockley, except the questions usually came from strippers, not businessmen. He figured he had his wife or girl in mind, when he asked for a fitting room, she knew that the wax case. Soon the man was calling her, and he said the outfit he had squeezed into a short, poke-dot dress here.
For the past six months,
Shockley has been working
at Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St.
But more important than the
paycheck she receives are the
experiences she had.
"Usually I have a story to tell, she says.
The stories are often bizarre and alwayentreatening. Consider the clientele Shockley deals with — the guy who gave her a high one after purchasing lube or the one who tried to convince her to become a stripper — and these stories aren't too surprising.
in fact, Slooney's experiences might be quite normal for the typical adult toy store employee, if there were a thing.
Shockley has pink dye in her short hair rings in her ears and lip, and an anti-Bush IM PR
But her loud look doesn't seem to match her personality. She is polite without being being skin and is mature for her age of 18.
he minimum age requirement o enter the store.
The decision to take the job at Princilia's wasn't popular with Shockley's parents, especially her mother.
She appears calm and comfortable when discussing her job even though the idea of caring for people would cause many people to bleach.
"I M PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY OPEN-MINDED ABOUT EVERYTHING. I DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE LIKE I USED TO." — CASEY SHOCKLEY, LAWRENCE RESIDENT
"The first thing when I told
A year ago Shockley worked in the food industry, but low pay led her to search for new work
"I'm pretty much completely open-minded about everything," she says. "I don't judge people like I used to."
Soon her knowledge of pizza crusts and toppings would be replaced with that of vibrators and penis pumps.

She also says that although her new gig raised the eyebrows of her friends at first they quickly warm up to

the idea. Her boyfriend, Chris Sinn, Hutchinson junior, says he has no problem with her that Shockley engages his work.
Shockley knew at that point the job was going to be more than just a cashier position. The job is 'sell self,' all the time she says. But that's just fine to enjoy the life of a salesman to enjoy the life of a salesman and And accord to her boss, she's getting the hang of it.
"You have to be desensitized to the graphic nature of our DVDs and things like that. She's come out of her shell a lot more lately," says Jennifer Ternell manager of Pricilla's.
For Shockley, the line between the ordinary and the odd blurs more each workday. One time, a drunk man took his shirt and danced around while he browsed the store's DVD collection.
"My 'normal' is probably not like anybody else's anymore Nothing is actually abnormal to me anymore." Shockley says.
Ian Kerner, sex therapist and author of the bestselling book *Be Honest* "You're Not That Into Him Either says, in general, adult novelty store employees truly care about sex and sexuality.
The stores in which these employees work often function as the only outlet for sexual
knowledge in a person's community, Kerner says.
Shockley agrees, "People come in and ask questions because they assume we know what happened so, for the most part," she says.
So she can give useful advice to her customers. Shloyne says she tries to be as knowledgeable as possible about the products she sells. For example, DVDs for children are sold at 10.00 per employee can rent them for free. She takes advantage of this per趴 regularly bringing home a couple at a time, much to the delight of her roommates her boyfriend and his buddies it's a great way to make recommendations to her customers and her roommates can well watch free porn.
"It's all good for me," Smith, her boyfriend,says.
Shockley says her future plans do not include the sex industry. She hopes to enroll at the University and one day become a kindergarten teacher Her title is that of a teacher, much last longer than thanks to her experiences, she will always have a story to tell.

that's disgusting WACKY SEX LAWS IN AMERICA
三只猪合抱耳朵，闭眼睛，露耳朵。
America is a strange land with strange customs, and city ordinances governing sexual behavior are no exception. For example, couples in Carlsbad, MN, may not have sex in a car unless the car has curtains, presumably to avoid the problem that led the city fathers in Clinton, Okla., to pass a law prohibiting residents from masturbating while watching two people have sex in a car No man in Willowdale, Ore.; may cure during sex, even if desperately frustrated by a crippling inability to get his wife off. Surprisingly, in Connellville, Wisc., men are prohibited from
celebrating their coral prowess by shooting guts during their wives climaxes.
Source: http://bertc.com/sexlaws.htm
The long arm of the law often reaches into the animal kingdom, too. Don't expect to see two moose in Fairbanks, Alaska, having sex on city streets, and if you happen upon them, ask for a familiar in Kingwood, Texas. select the authorities. Even turtles frown on that kind of behavior.

Chris Tackett
Elizabeth Blasco and Chris Tackett may have been the first pair to put it in print, but anyone can be a bitch.
Before the spring of 2014, KJ students never had sex, didn't masturbate and rarely had any fun at all. We well know things weren't bad, but since Chris Tackt and Elizabeth Blacore first began dining out advice every week in *joyplay* as the authoritative bioBtch = *Moon* vs. *Sun*.
tak on campus has been open, frank and... This week, take a look back on the first semester that Bitch + Moan entertained, enlightened and, no doubt, engaged students and professors. Chris and I were in a few. Best Off! of course, the current of our KU students try their hands at the strange,妙趣 world of sex advice. Also don't miss the latest from Niloafar Haohamhaidmi, who currently carries the Bitch + Moan
banner alone but doing the job of two exersuits.
Sit back off, unfurl a troj of Troians and enjoy.

Derek: Get that girl a mouthpiece a mouthguard, something. Ask a football player for a helmet with a facemask and turn it into a 7-fairy hat. Have fantasy that involves football player. Better for her to question your sexuality for you to end up with a flesh wound.
BILL, JUNIOR
FIRST PRINTED MAY 13 2004
Shannon: I think we have two options here. You could either not tell her and risk losing a chunk of your body like Eva Fosterghold, or you could tell her the truth. You either subtly say 'souch' the next time she takes a bibble or tell her to stop. If she breaks up with you because you don't like to be in physical pain during lovely slow time, its probably for the best.
Elizabeth: just show her the bite marks, and she'll get the picture. Tell her that although you like to get her hot you don't like to see her unable to stop, give her a pillow or something.
Chris: She isn't a baby who is so stupid; she doesn't think the pillow will work. She bites you to express how turned on she is but Elizabeth is right if she sees how hard she really bit you she'll probably tite it down a bit. Or call her a pussy.

Bob*CK, first of all, what happens in the bedroom, or bathroom, should stay there. I don't give a shirt to your girlfriends' fidelity. If you are so worried about talking to her about it, what the hell will you put it in the dumb newspaper? You might as well climb the stairs and that she rips at腋涡; i hope she reads this and dumps your lame ass. Mentioning this in the paper means that you don't respect her feelings. You are here about ready to end a relationship over one little test. Shame on you. You could just run down to Pincilla and buy some fluff plugs, but by the time she reads this it will

that have stated above and assure her that she is not gross (granted) when she farted it didn't come with puffs of green smoke like it does in the cartons; When my ex waked she felt gross and demanded that I fast so that he would be happy, so guess that if you need to really show her that you don't think she is young you could squeeze out a little stinker the next time she's down on you.
Elizabeth just tell her that you should look beautiful no matter what and leave it at that. Forget about the little "farting incident" altogether and if it does happen to come up play dumpl and act like you haven't the slightest idea what she's talking about.
**Christ:** OK, this may be hard to be believe, but girls actually DO go #2. They even fart from time to time! I'm serious! I couldn't believe it either. Don't bring up her farting incident because that's going to make her think you've been thinking about it a lot. And the next time she's down on you, try to rip one.

Talan? Are you freaking out of your mind? Might as well get yourself a cruxifix, like a hammer and a knife waiting for your girlfriend to Cut your bails off. You have a girlfriend dude, and it is NOT cool to be getting on with another girl when she shows up. She can actually an xo for that matter, I'm sure that as much as you would like to see some mud wrestling between the two of them, they will most likely resort to taking off their titties before they meet her. So give the other with it. So you want advice? Just don't do it.
Elizabeth: Despite any sound advice or suggestions that I may offer you my guess is that you will probably go ahead and hook up with your ex. Seriously consider the possible repercussions of your actions and protect yourself and be forewarned that you will hurt your girlfriend far more than you realize it. Is really worth it?
**Chris:** if your girlfriend finds out, she'll freak out. And you're an idiot.

THIS WEEK'S BITCH+MOAN
Three years ago a guy told me he would never marry a girl who didn't know how to cook. I hear the same advice all the time, people before I decided to buy a cookbook
I knew nothing about the art, so I decided Cooking for Dummies would be a good place to start. The first two chapters were about proper organization of the kitchen and economical and strategic grocery shopping. When my friend asked me if I had made anything yet, told him I was still on chapter three, the hygienic handling of meat.
still trying to perfect the only dish I'd even attempted to make plain white rice I didn't know exactly how much salt I needed, but much butter. Cooking was a nightmare and I wasn't even cooking anything yet.
One year later my repertoire consisted of little more than scrambled eggs, peanut butter and jelly. I added a little rice Six months after that, people wanted to know

"whatever happened with you"
while learning to cook "thing".
One month ago my computer whist curis at MIT, who hadn't so much as peeled an apple before, suddenly became my cousin the amazing cook. When I asked him about the sudden turnaround, he replied. Well I just decided I would to know what I was learning from the curious knowing I can make things for myself. And it's just so easy top.
I had an epiphany. The reason I hadn't been cooking was because in my head, I had decided it was something hard so bad. I told myself I needed to learn all the cooking "theory" before I could actually start. As a result I never did make much of anything but to stock up my pantry with the recipes myself from making any progress. Cooking was far from enjoyable and that was true of my finished product as well.
"Just do it!" my friend told me when I first bought Cooking for Dummies. I told him he didn't understand. I told him I didn't know anything about cooking and I couldn't start until I knew all about the traditional uses of nutmeg and the difference between a serated knife and a paring knife. I didn't know at the
MY JOURNEY WITH COOKING HAS PARALLELED MY JOURNEY WITH RELATIONSHIPS. I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS AND COUNTLESS DOLLARS over THE PAST THREE YEARS READING RELATIONSHIP SELF-HELP BOOKS.

time that he knew what he was talking about.
in the past two weeks II've made four dishes and more importantly, I've had fun with them. I no longer worry about what matters to me are personal and I've even dated to substitute things in the recipe.
My journey with cooking has paralleled my journey with relationships. I have spent countless hours and countless dollars over the past three years reading relationship self help books, Why Men Love Bites, The Secrets About Men Every Woman Should Know, The Rule Roles, The Women Men Adore, and many others written by counsellors who analysed my own relationships and my friends' relationships to death. And you know what? I haven't had fun in a relationship in a long time.
More importantly, my relationships haven't been going anywhere that they have that long so they spent to perfect
my knowledge of *theory* (how to be the perfect girl, how to communicate, how to react in every possible situation that might come up) that I became fearful I feared making one wrong move and blowing everything I feared reacting wrongly one time and losing a relationship I convinced myself that I first had to become the perfect girl before I could have that perfect relationship.
A few years too late perhaps,
I've realized that I don't have to be perfect. That sometimes I'll say the wrong thing. Sometimes I'll overreact. But at least something will be happening. And at least I will be reacting from my heart, not from what I read in a book.
The more thing is once let go of trying to be perfect, I stopped analyzing everything and started acting from my heart. So I'm on my way to becoming that altar I am about to build. And it will be. And yes, maybe I will screw up, but the nice thing is that I can always start over and try again.

INVITATION BY CATHERINE COULLETT
When couples seek to deepen their relationships by learning more about communication, intimacy and sex, lessons from experts can strengthen the bond or dismantle the relationship
by Matthew Foster
Last spring Stuart Tioaeller staff senior attended a course on human sexuality. He thought that taking the course with his grieffriend would improve their relationship. To hear him talk, you would think that he was the key to the success, he said of the many key terms relationship experts would use to improve a relationship
"THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO YOU ARE OR ARE NOT ATTracted TO AND YOU AREN'T AS ATTRACTED TO THAT PERSON AS YOU NEED TO BE WHEN THE RELATIONSHIP ISN'T GOING TO WORK OUT, AND I THINK THAT CLASS KIND OF TAUGHT ME THAT."
ABOUT ME THAT:
— TIM STAUFFER, IOLA SENIOR
In Professor Eudenius D黛丽's "Human Sexuality in Everyday Life" course, Stauffer learned what it means to be intimate and how to figure out what he value in a partner He also says he learned how to tell when he is the wrong relationship.
Couples seek counseling and take courses to learn about sexuality and deepen their relationships, but sometimes lessons learned do the opposite.
Stauffer, who has attended the course multiple times, says that this is exactly what happened to him while attending Dalley's course at the Ecumenical Christian Ministry center, 104 Oread Ave. With the improved communication encouraged by the course came the realization that he and an girlfriend viewed as commitment differently. He also found out that he placed a different value on intimacy than she did and learned how much he valued attraction in a relationship.
"There are certain people who you are or are not attached to and if you aren't as attached to that person as you need to be, then that's better to work out. And think that class kind of taught me, that he says
ns girlfriend shortly before their relationship hit the one-year mark.
Stauffer broke things off with
better self-aware than sorry
Stafer stresses that it is
better to learn these things
about yourself and your mate
to be in a relationship that
is unwaiving. Experts agree
Most counseling has to do with patient self-awareness and couples counseling is no exception, says John Wade.
Daley says that he also sees couples separating after becoming self-aware.
a counseling psychologist at Watkins Health Center. It is not uncommon for the couple to just not compatible, he says.
"One of two patterns emerge when these issues are addressed." Dalay says, "it either enriches and deepens the relationship or there is a realization of non-
compatibility. One of the things that therapy could result in is growth that culminates in not staying together."
The couple that learns together stays together
Despite the possibility that what is learned in his human sexuality course may cause relationships to break, he has a Daley that he has a few couples who take the course together and insists that they should take the course together. He says that this is useful because the couple will speak their language and will begin discussions with a basic understanding of the issues.
Nikki Tayler, Wichita junior, and Michael Garfield, 2005 graduate, took the course together last spring. The
couple has been together for two-and-a-half years. Taylor says that the class prompted better communication and intimacy and showed her how to interact within a relationship.
Taking the course with his girlfriend was necessary to the relationship, Garfield says.
Definitely, no matter who you are you are going to come to know your through that class in a way that may seem uncomfortable to you and it may change your personal boundaries that you draw between yourself and the people you have consulted. Gifted most intimate, it's a good thing that she "is a good teacher" and course together because if either one of us had taken it alone, it might have torn us apart."

Q&A with Rocco DeLuca
18→ JAYPLAY 02.08.2007
C. O.
When Kielt Sutherland, actor from the show 24 decided to start his brokens Music label he jumped at the opportunity to sign California native Rocco De Luca. While De Luca was a prodigy, John Cahill and John Hooker and John Mayall, he's now making a name for himself playing with his
new group, Rocco Deluca and the Burden. Decuca plays dobro guitar with a slide, and his unique mix of blues and folk-fused rock is receiving international attention His latest album, I fruit you to kill Me, recently issued *Dance In A Dove* You might just like artists on the rise*
Q: YOU HAVE A ROOTSY MUSIC
BACKGROUND BUT YOU PLAY A ROCK
SHOW WITH THE BURDEN. HOW DO
YOU LABEL YOURSELF THESE DAYS?
Rocca: I've had a hard time with that, to be honest with you, I like to dip my hands into all the different realms. I'm first and foremost a singer-songwriter, without a doubt; that's my passion it's not that I'm some mysterious thing, it's just really hard for me to put my finger on it exactly.
Q: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OPENING FOR TRADITIONAL BLUES ARTISTS AND MODERN ROCK GROUPS?
Rocco: The older artists had a point of reference. They were really part of the source, a direct link from what happened at the turn of the century with museums that used art and music with are really amazing, but their derivative comes from a slightly different place.
Q: WHAT IS SUTHERLAND'S ROLE WITH THE BAND NOW?
Q: WERE YOU APPREHENSIVE WHEN KIEFER SUTHERLAND INITIALLY APPROACHED YOU?
Rocco at the time I didn't have a group and I was just playing on my own. They were starting label and I had my apprehensions, but when you see someone like me, they are really fans of art, artists and songs. At that point, you just kind of surrender and trust in it a bit.
Rocco. His role is always as a label owner. At one point he took us to Europe and essentially joined the gang for while. It was great, we can't hang with him. He runs too hard for us. We actually decided to lay low and let him go back to his awesome job.

SEX AND THE (LAWRENCE) CITY
Night-time hotspots with prime hook-up potential

Netzer
A crop stream of jazz music and a crowd of well-dressed academics pour out of the wooded lot at the Blerdine Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St. It is its Tuesday night, and while the February air is crisp outside inside the hotel, one can catch one of its hottest nights.
Since implementing a new two-for-one martini special on Thursday this past fall, the restaurant has become the most visited the sweet places in the city.

"It's very hip," Cravis says.
"There are so many young people everywhere. It feels like you have everyone every day is dressed up nice."
This isn't the place to go for cheap booze in plastic cups, but sexy is worth the price. Patrons can languish up their chocolate dizzied marinade and then scoop off to the sumptuous wood boots around the corner from the main bar for a more intimate setting.
"That table is out of the view of the bartenders, so people seem to find them cuddling or nuzzling in the corner before they make a quick escape out the door by the heels!" Craft says.
The bar's location, on the first floor of the hotel, also spills out prime hook-up possibilities. A chance meeting over drinks with friends can turn into a full-fledged night of fun. Craft says she has heard of people who have tried the bar and the final meeting in the bar and then heading upstairs to share one room.
Two blocks down the street's a different story at the Jackpot Saloon, 443 Massachusetts St. There are no champagne-filled drinks or hotel rooms here. The crowd at the Jackpot is more of a mourn bag of sugar singers, and the crowd of indie rockers and sorority women so come expecting a lieber alternative crowd.
contribute to the overall ambiance
Though cheaper and less upscale than the Jayhawk with drink tips in the 52 range the jackpot still offers accessible options, including floating boots; dim lighting and comfortable boots with candles
Many patrons can choose to end their night at the bar because of a hook up, Joseb Obbmann, manager of the Jackpot Saloon.
Everyone always seems to end up here, she says. It's a place to get your last call, and you can do the little hook-up or whatever it is in the kids are doing these days.
if something more than a random hook-up is desired, history points to Johnny's Tawney, 410 N. Second St., as the place to go. The establishment's old wood floors have seen a lot of relationships come and go, in the hallway Kathalyman Kansas City. Mo. senior has worked at Johnny's sheen even when computer programs come and go to achieve the first time they put them.
Love for just must be in the air because Chapman says the establishment is also a good place to meet current singles. The mixed and casual patronage plenty of college students peeped in with a more mature crowd increases the diversity.
It's not random to look down the bar and see two girls making out or a guy and a girl making up a chatman. Chapman says, "People who work together hock up like this time." He asks why Johnny is at Johnny's.
Though flippant behavior seems to abound, Chapman cautions that Johnny's and other nightspots in Lawrence, in reality the place to come with hopes of a sister relationship.
Love and marriage might not be discovered with one sutile splash of a martin or a jug of beer but when it does happen, you can lavender this Valentine's season.

KJUminor Adam R. Burnett has added a polish to the mythologized sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle with his new play, but those looking for face-melting guitar riffs will want to take themselves — mullets, lighters and rockers for the Granada, as The Sensualist is, first and foremost, an entertaining evening at the theatre.
Leonard KU) senior Carter Wattier is an aging singer-songwriter and sexual wrecking ball claulded at least temporarily in the eyes of his women (who often spend almost throughout), by a casual demeanor and mellifluous
voice. His unbilled sensuality flutters into his women's hopeful ears via pinyn, puns, sophisticated literary allusions and well-defined character that delight both the naive romantics on stage, and the audience who knows better.
Wincing The Night Away
The actors have no
In the first act, Burnett builds a stage devoid of fidelity, a construction yielding hilarious results. think Tweedle-Doo's luxury of a more time worn moral fiber to work with; and then violently tears it down without hesitation in the second act, but protagonist ending up in his rubble of lies, pots, and broken hearts.
problem keeping up with the ambitious script, and the jaded wife and lonely sister played by KU students. College students Andi and Anil Porter, respectively, are standouts.
What the second act lacks in guiltless laughs it makes up by adding to the hyperbole-tuned conscientious quixotic tragedy that is Burnett's production

MUSIC
by The Shins
The art of writing a good pop song has suffered lately. Nowadays, most pop songs cause prolonged vomiting chronic coughing and loss of appetite. But on their third album, *Wincing The Song Night*, the Shims show that they still know how to write good pop songs.
THE SHINS
MUSIC BY
THE MUSIC WORKS GROUP
The album starts strongly with "Sleeping Lessons," with its driving beat and catchy melody. *Australia* sounds like classic Shains. The first single, "Phantom Limb," will be stuck in your head for days after each listen
But after the album starts to suffer 'Red Rabbits' at times, sounds like it could've been a *Song Mouth*歌 *Sound Legs* sounds like it could've been an *Episode* These songs aren't bad there! they are not forgettable.
ALL RATINGS ARE OUT OF A POSSIBLE FIVE STARS ★★★★
The Shins have said repeatedly that they hate their previous album *Chuile Too Normany*. Maybe albums like them are a little better than albums like they.

WHAT it's LIKE
TO HAVE SEX IN THE LIBRARY
If you haven't done it, you've thought about it. Amid the rumors and mystery surrounding sex in the stacks there is a real story.

The only bad part "it" was nervewracking as hell. Eric says, He recalls that prior to their rendezvous in the first flurry stack he and his girlfriend at the time go out to the beach. They sag at both entrances of the room so they would hear if someone was coming.
"I just wanted to do it to say that I'd done it." Eric says.

And he one of the main reasons for having sex in a public place like the library is for the rush it's fun. Hopkins says, but really easy to break yourself out at the closest nook. Hopkins and his girlfriend at the time weren't lucky enough to have a date, so he says he would have laughed it off.

How breast reduction surgery changed my life
CHRISTINA A. KAYES

I had what many girls want, large bounty attention receiving breasts. As hard as it tried to embrace my naturally unwedded chest, I was unable to compensate for my size of 56DDD overwhelming my tummy Many men and women who glorify anorexic breasts have seen them in their surgically enhanced state. Breasts with implants are impossible round earlobes, round cheeks, or a very tight skin
to dry glands and
proud around the
womans neck.
However, naturally
gigantic breasts are
the opposite.
My breasts were so large that they hugged down my nipples were hovering around my elbows and my body and I know I am sure of the sand than I can.
my mom, I felt tired of lecherous states and guys attempts to converse with my breasts. So in January of 2004 I had breast reduction surgery. Complications in surgery is not rare but of best after downsizing a few cup sizes I realized that a little self-editing was one of the best things I ever did for myself
10
Since fifth grade I had a noticeable chest. I was failing out of my training but before some of my friends even had to think about buying one. During middle school and high school I only added a few inches to my current height of 5 feet but my breast continued growing at an alarming rate. I watched 100 videos and when I looked it could barely see my feet that I know almost large breasts for my frame, but this was wild iridescence. Some of my modest endowed friends thought I had a perfect body. They would complain about their normal sized chest and I would be amused that they wished they had my monsters.
I copied by hand into denim and stubbornly refused to buy any bra larger than a 30c. Despite my self-consciousness, I still wore the skimpy, trendy clothes to and prove my loyalty to her. When my was 18 I went shopping with a friend my junior year was a reality check she fit perfectly into a small top while an extra

extra-large on me left nothing to the imagination.
After acknowledging my breasts for what they were I saw the damage they were offending on my chest and my breasts by slouching caused my back to curve forward I had cuts, bruises and deep indentations on my shoulders from my burses attempts to expose them. Three sports bras were unable to control
my breaths as this bounced
while I was cross country or played
on the beach, sometimes with
involved with every aspect of
my life and made me miserable. I no longer wanted to be defined by my box size and knew nothing before something
something better they overwhelmed me mentally as much as they did physically
I never considered breast-reduction surgery until a coworker suggested to me I will never forget the wonderful feeling of hope created by that off-hand comment. After I graduated from high school my mother and I met with a qualified surgeon and we set winter break as the date for my operation. I was anxious to have surgery as soon as possible, but I was worried that it would cause such a change in between semesters during my first semester of college I knew that the timing would make it difficult but was ready.
My breasts were reduced using the most common "wise patient" procedure. The surgeon must an anchor shaped incision around the nipple and then down and under each earlobe. For this procedure, the neck is repositioned and then the remaining skin and tissue are reabsorbed in it. In 2005, 5.132 women 18 year old or younger had breast reduction surgery, according to statistics gathered by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. For comparison, 4.916 women 18 year old or younger received breast implants. Despite the difference for 18 year old, breast enhancement was still at the top of the cosmetic surgery
list in 2005 with 279.073 total procedures for all age groups.
The day of my surgery was a bit late. I remember the doctor explaining the procedure and then drawing lines on me to help him during the operation. After that I received anesthesia and a five hours layout (weok with three dressings over it) with water dripping wrapped around my chest. The first week with my new breast was far from glamourous. I was stuck in my house dismantled from the multiple pads and painkillers I was taking. I had a strict pack schedule and drains that I needed to empty at night. My mother explained and tenets of balance were off for a few days because my body no longer had to compensate for the added weight.
After five days, my dressings and drains were removed I had high expectations for my transformation, but my doctor warned me that my breasts would not settle into their permanent shape until they were completely healed months later My mind was not prepared for the thick black skin and how warm and nurtured my breasts appeared. The surgery took me from a 360D to a 348 and the change was so dramatic that I truly thought my new breasts too tiny I honoured that I felt this way, but my doctor assured me that this was a common reaction.
I had hated my breasts for so long that it was confusing and strange to them to suddenly be so different. It helped immensely that all of my friends reacted positively to my smaller breast. My girl friends told me I seemed more confident than others, but even the bigger center of attention. My guy friends told me that before I looked like a pony star and after I looked more attractive because I was proportional. Overall, the surgery went well and I healed quickly, but it does have lasting physical effects. I have to accept the thick scars running from my nipple to under each breast or possibly that my breasts may be able to nurse when I have a child. Even after three years the area around my scars is still partially numb.
I used to be my breasts. They were my defining feature but now they are just another part of my body.

The young squad hopes to continue recent success against a tough schedule this season.

The team's opening weekend in San Diego will be a challenge right out of the gate for this young team.
The Jayhawks will face the University of California, Santa Barbara, tonight at 6:30, hitting the dirt for the first time in warm weather, as the team has practiced indoors the past few months.

WOMEN'S BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Wildcats fail to bring home conference win
MANHATTAN — Kiera Hardy scored 13 points to lead No. 21 Nebraska to a 62-55 victory over Kansas State on Wednesday night for the Cornhuskers fourth straight win and seventh in eight games.
Ashley Ford added 11 points and Chelsea Aubry had 12 rebounds for Nebraska (19-4, 8-2 Big 12), which won the rebounding battle. 46-33. Kelsey Griffin, who entered the game fifth in the Big 12 Conference at 16.4 points per game, was held to seven points and 10 rebounds in action limited by foul trouble.
Shalee Lehning scored 15 points for Kansas State (15, 8, 3-6), which has lost six of seven since starting forward Marles Gipson went down
with a knee injury. Kimberly Dietz added 14 and Claire Cogins 13.
Nebraska survived a 5 minute scoreless streak in the second half to break a six-game losing streak at Bramlage Colseum. With the victory, the Huskers tied a record for the best conference start in school history. The 1987-88 team began 20-4 overall and 8-2 in the Big Eight Conference.
It is the best conference start for the Huskers since the Big 12 was formed in 1996.
The Wildcats trailed 32-25 at halftime after shooting 32 percent in the opening period. Their struggles continued early in the second when they missed nine of their first 11 from the field and trailed 42-29.
The Wildcats, however, went on
10-10 run, capped by an alley-op layup from Dietz to Shana Wheeler, to cut the gap to 42-39 with 11:32 remaining.
But that was as close as Kansas State would get, as a last-minute comeback effort fell short when the Wildcats could not connect from long range. Kansas State finished 4-for-23 from 3-point range, compared to the Huskers' 7-of-17 shooting.
Although Nebraska turned the ball over 21 times, the Wildcats could only convert the giveaways into 17 points.
Following a 70-63 victory in Lincoln, Neb., on Jan. 17, the Huskers' win Wednesday completed their first season sweep of the Wildcats since the 2000-01 season.

Kassie Humphreys' career honors
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys has been the go-to player for the layhawk softball team practically her entire career.

Last season, Humphreys had senior leaders ahead of her such as All-American Serena Settlemier and Destiny Frankenstein to take the pressure of the team. Most of that falls on her this season.
Humphreys is coming off a great 2006 campaign that led the layhawks to the Big 12 Conference Postseason Championship.

In order to be successful this year, Humphreys said that she needed to do the little things right.
"I see an opportunity to maybe do better and I hope to do that this year," she said. "I have worked on a lot of things over the offseason, so I am feeling a lot more comfortable with where I'm at."
On top of being the Big 12 pitcher to watch, Humphreys was named to the USA Softball National Collegiate
Player of the Year Award Top 50 Watch List by the Amateur Softball Association.
The award is considered one of the most prestigious honors in women's collegiate softball.

ees may.
With only two offensive line starters returning, several incoming freshmen will need to hit the playbies soon.
Signee Jeremiah Hatch could provide help on the line by breaking into the starting lineup at center. Hatch, a 311-pound product of Dallas Carter High School, possesses ideal size and body type for the center position.
"Jeremiah combines intelligence, strength and quickness on the field," Allan Wilson, Dallas Carter head coach, said. "In my 32 years of coaching, he ranks right up top."
"Kendrick is all business," Mangino said. "He is a very responsible person."
The defensive backfield, an area of concern last season, will likely see a few new faces. Kendrick Harper is a junior college transfer who has already enrolled and begun workouts with the team. Harper, who transferred from Butler County Community College, becomes a candidate for the second cornerback job opposite Aqib Talib. Harper is just the kind of player Mangino set out to find.

Drew Dudley, a 225-pound linebacker, graduated early from Sedgwick High School to join the team in winter workouts. According to rivals.com, Dudley is extremely athletic, with the ability to bench press 380 pounds and run a 4.60 second 40-yard dash.
"Drew is a kid who never missed a day," Jim Slaughter, Sedgwick High coach, said. "Most kids enjoy weight lifting, but he was eager to do the running also."
Finding a way to keep prospects committed is one of the more difficult tasks in a coach's job description. Mangino stayed in constant contact with the targeted players in the last several weeks to fend off competing schools.

Platforms pass all midterms
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Ignite demonstrates mixed success rates
Since taking office in August, Student Senate has been busy fulfilling platforms.
It may not be visible to the naked eye but Jason Boots, student body president, and Melissa Horen, student body vice president, continue to make strides to satisfy the platforms they were elected on.
With only eight months in office, the Senate term is not nearly long enough to see many of the platforms through to completion. Boots said.
"We hope to lay the proper ground work to get things started," Boots said.
Laving this groundwork for their platforms is something that Boots, Horen and the rest of Senate began last semester.
Campaigning for Ignite last spring, Boots and Horen addressed advising, bike lanes, academic technology borrowing, affordable textbooks, financial aid accessibility, wireless campus, student organization Web sites and SafeBus.

BOARDWALK TRIAL
Testimony focuses on victims
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
Maritza Pastrana pointed out defendant Jason Allen Rose on Thursday as the man she saw cursing in a walkway of the Boardwalk Apartments less than half an hour before the building went up in flames.
Pastrana's testimony concluded a dramatic second day of witness questioning in the trial of Rose, who is charged with setting the fire that killed three and injured several more on the morning of Oct. 7, 2005. Among the 11 called to the stand Thursday were a crime scene detective, two Haskell University students who helped wake Boardwalk residents, the coroner who examined the bodies of those killed in the fire, and seven of the 18 injured

including Pastrana.
Through a Spanish-speaking translator, Pastrana said she arrived
Richard Gwin/Associated Press
home at Boardwalk Apartments at 11:50 p.m. the night of the fire. She said on her way into the building after a day of work, she saw a man on the second floor cursing and shouting downward. She said she didn't see anyone else present, and though she doesn't speak English, Pastrana was able to understand one phrase.
When asked if she could identify the man she saw, Pastrana said she could, and she pointed to Rose. Assistant district attorney Amy McKowan asked Pastrana how sure she was that Rose was the man she had seen.
"Fuck you! Fuck you!" he kept saving," Pastrana said.
Pastrana said Rose looked up at her but he didn't say anything. As she continued toward her apartment on the third floor, the man continued screaming.
"100 percent," she said.
Detective Jim Martin investigated the defendant's Boardwalk apartment, vehicle and the area surrounding the apartment complex in
the days after the fire. Martin provided the court with photographic

KU professor nominated for Grammy
BY BETHANY BUNCH
KU professor Robert Koenig is thanking the Academy for his Grammy nomination.
Koenig's recording of Viola Transcriptions will compete with four other nominees in the Best Instrumental Solist Performance
category at the Grammy Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles. Koenig recorded the release with acclaimed violinist Roberto Diaz.
SCHNEIDER
Koenig was informed of his
ninistration in early December, but he said it's still hard to believe.
Koenig
"For the first few weeks after the announcements, I continued to go back to the grammycom Web site, just to make sure that I really wasn't dreaming it all," he said.
The recording, by William Primrose, included music by Beethoven, Brahms, Schuberts and others.
Koenig and Diaz made the recording in Toronto in 2004 and
released it in the Summer 2006 on a label called Naxos. The label submitted the recording to the Recording Academy and was chosen from more than 150 submissions.
Koenig said the nomination came as a huge surprise and he was thrilled for the recognition, although a Grammy nomination was never a goal of his.
"My only goals as a pianist and accompanist have always been to prepare to the highest level, and to present the best possible musical performance that I can." Koeneng said. "To receive this nomination for this CD is like icing on the cake"
Dr. Larry Mallett, chair of the department of music and dance, came to KU the same year Koenig did in 2001. Mallett said Koenig is the perfect example of an outstanding faculty member.
Before coming to KU seven years ago, Koenig was a staff pianist at the Juilliard School and the Curtis
"Bob is a wonderful colleague and outstanding teacher," Mallett said. "I knew when he got here that he was world class."

Top journalism award honors KU alumnus
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Rich Clarkson's medium isn't always considered a gracious art form, but in his mind, photography is a combination of an oil painting and fleeting moments.
" its every bit as much of a fine art," he said. "And harder to do."
Clarkson, a 1956 KU graduate and veteran photojournalist, will receive the 2007 William Allen White Foundation's National Citation on Friday at a public ceremony in the Woodruff Auditorium. The award is presented by the School of Journalism.
Mary Wallace, assistant to the dean of journalism, said the award goes to someone with a national reputation in journalism.
The citation is named after William Allen White, author, advisor to President Theodore Roosevelt and publisher of The Emporia Gazette, she said.
"The award is for people who, in their careers, live up to the ideals of William Allen White," Wallace said. "Nobody could be like him."
After graduation, Clarkson served as director of photography for the Topeka Capital Journal. Clarkson also photographed the trial on which Truman Corepated based his book "In Cold Blood". He has also been the director of photography for National Geographic magazine.
"I'm kind of surprised." Clarkson said.
His company, Rich Clarkson and Associates, which he founded 20 years ago, is involved in several projects, including a 192 page photographic book honoring soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery. They are also working on a project about Red Rocks, an outdoor concert venue that has played host to the Beatles and the Grateful Dead.
Clarkson photographed eight Olympics, including Munich in 1972, and managed 1,400 photographers

sored by the February Sisters Association, is part of national V Day Campaign to prevent violent acts against women. Information about this international movement can be found at wwwvday.org. The association is named after The February Sisters of 1972 who were a group of women at the University of Kansas. They locked themselves in a building on campus and would not leave until steps toward equality for women were taken. Among the
steps taken was the creation of a Women's Studies Department, and the employment of a greater number of women within the administration. These demands were met almost immediately and ultimately have led to what you could be doing tonight. V Day is happening in over 100 countries, and has included a production of the Vagina Monologues since its creation in 1998. Casting at the University will consist mostly of students. V Day activities will begin an hour before the show, and proceeds will benefit Lawrence programs dedicated to stopping violence against women. A second show will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $5, and can be purchased at the SUA box office or by calling 864 SHOW.

ODD NEWS Bears fan to legally become Peyton Manning
On thin ice
DECATUR, Ill. — Scott Wiese is a man of his word. But soon his friends will be saying that about Peyton Manning.
THE BELL TOWER
Wise, a die-hard Chicago Bears fan, will legally change his name to that of the Indiana Colts quarterback after signing a pledge in front of a crowd at a Decatur bar last Friday night. He vowed to adopt Mannings's name if the Bears lost Sunday's Super Bowl.
So on Tuesday, Wiese went to the Macon County Courts Facility and started the process of changing his name.
"I made the bet, and now I've got to keep it" said the 26-year-old, who lives in Forsyth, just north of Decatur.
The men have little in common. Wiese acknowledges.
The final score was Colts 29. Bears 17.
Wisee will now have to advertise his intention in the local newspaper — the Herald & Review — for several weeks and then have a judge give him the OK to become, legally anyway, Peyton Manning.
Manning the quarterback is 30 years old, stands 6-foot-5 and has a contract with the Colts worth more than $100 million.
Wisees is 5-foot-11 and works at a Staples office-supply store for somewhat less.
While he pledged to take on the new identity, Wiese didn't
"I think I kind of represent all Bears fans," he said. "Not that I'm saying they're all idioms like me, but I represent their passion because I really care about my team, you know?"

make any promises about how long he would keep it.
BEIJING — No spitting and get in line.
That's the message Beijing city officials are trying to get across 18 months before the Olympics open in China's capital.
No laws in China as '08 Olympics draw near
In a chaotic city of 15 million, jumping ahead in line is common. So is spitting and littering, which officials hope to restrain in an effort to improve the city's image.
"Everyone will be fined for spitting," read the headline in Thursday's Beijing Daily Messenger.
Officials have announced a range of measures including "punishment and reward" programs to improve conduct.
People spitting could be fined up to 50 yuan, equal to about $6.50,the daily income of a Chinese college graduate. It can buy 16 subway tickets on the Beijing system.
One campaign for "civilized behavior" will be kicked off Sunday in the upmarket WangFujing shopping area, located just east of Tiananmen Square. This will be the first "Queuing Day", which will take place on the 11th of each month.
The 11th was picked because the two numbers — 1-1— resemble two people lining up.
"fifty yuan is a fairly hefty warning for spitters," said Zhang Huqiang, director of the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau. "The amount of money is not the most important, the most important is to warn people."

PLATFORM (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Advising Grade: C
Advising differs for each student. The issue brought up by Student Senate involved the structure of advising. The platform called for advising for juniors and seniors with undeclared majors or multiple majors and those interested in changing majors.
Availability of advisors and the sometimes difficult-to-navigate ARTS form were hot topics for Senate.
Freshmen and sophomores are required to meet with advisors once per semester before enroll.
ing. Because upperclassmen don't have this requirement, they may have a difficult time seeing an advisor.
Kim McNeley, assistant dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences, said juniors and seniors with
undeclaired majors have a hold put on their enrollment account until they meet with an advisor. McNeyle said policy has been in place for about a year. Advising is available for juniors and seniors in Strong Hall.
"It's more of a communication issue, but we are always looking at ways to make it better." McNeley said.
Denise Stephens, vice presistor for information services, said the department was taking a broader look at advising to help the University to acquire more comprehensive online advising resources, an initiative started by the

electronics that Senate would like to make available for students.
Currently, library laptops available for checkout are restricted to use in the library. With technology borrowing, the new laptops
would be able to travel around campus.
Issues standing in the way of completing this platform are how the electronics will be checked out and where they will be housed, Miller said.
Affordable
Textbooks
Grade: A
Affordable textbooks would alleviate financial stress on students at the beginning of each semester. In order to address the high costs of textbooks, Student Senate set out to fix problems both on campus and statewide.
Ian Staples, Student Legislative Awareness Board member, authored a bill for tax-free textbooks that was introduced to the Kansas Legislature on Jan. 24.
The bill is loosely based on a similar piece of legislation in Texas that allows textbooks to be tax-exempt
Before the bill can take effect, a committee chairperson for the Legislature is responsible for giving the bill a time for a hearing.
"When we get a hearing, we will guide the discussion toward passage of the bill." Staples said.
A textbook task force has also been set up to look at other possibilities to decrease textbook costs. One idea requires professors to declare their textbook choices earlier.
Tim Norris, University bookstore director, said professors declare their book choices four months in advance, but that is still too late.
"The sooner we know the textbook choices, the sooner we can buy the used books from the wholesaler," he said.
Norris said knowing textbook choices in advance would also allow the bookstores to give more money back to students when buying back books at the end of the semester.
Financial Aid Grade: B-
The financial aid accessibility platform would require the University to clean up the financial aid Web site so students would be able to clearly see their financial aid options.
"We're looking at other schools for good models." Boots said.
The Office of Student Financial Aid was unavailable for information on the issue.
Another issue surrounding financial aid deals with providing tuition assistance for veterans. This entails a statewide bill, which is currently in the House Committee on Veterans, Military and Homeland Security.
"I'm currently working with other legislatures, with similar goals, to ensure veterans get the benefits they deserve," Staples said.
Wireless Internet Grade: A+
The wireless Internet initiative passed Senate on Jan. 31. The initiative provided funding for the implementation of wireless Internet access throughout campus. The bill increased student fees $5 a year for the next five years. With funding in place, the initiative will be able to move forward into the execution stages.
"We could have impact by or after spring break, for sure by fall," Boots said.
Student Web sites Grade:B-
Another platform concerned the redevelopment of the student orga-
izations Web site. The platform called for Web site development to include online registration for student organizations. It was also intended to offer students an easier way to access organizations through the University Web site, by adding "Student Organizations" to the A-Z toolbar.
Aaron Quisenberry, associate director of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center, said online registration was not a Student Senate initiative and it had been in the works for some time before Ignite took office. However, he said its input on the project did help.
Quisenberry said the A-Z toolbar already had "student organizations" on it. He credited Student Senate with the proposal for a resources page on the SILC Web site. The resources page is currently under construction, but should be up and running within the next few months.
The resources page would offer student organizations more information about acquiring a bank account through Carruth O'Leary, information on Student Senate funding and resources for reserving a room in the Union.
SafeBus Grade: B-
SateBus could be the solution to the problems SafeRide has encountered. Lack of SafeRide vehicles at peak times and the fact that SafeRide only takes students home poses problems for students who wish to continue their nights out.
SateBus would allow students to go from one location to another with a KUID. Lawrence Bus Company representatives drew up plans for routes and costs for the project said Tom Cox, off-campus senator and transportation board member.
"Depending on the contractor, we could have legislation in the next week or two," Cox said.
He said if Senate approved the bill, it would be placed on a referendum for students to vote on in April. If the referendum passed, the system could be in effect as soon as this fall, barring contract negotiations.

Cause unknown in Smith's death
BY SUZETTE LABOY ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Anna Nicole Smith, the curvaceous blonde whose life played out as an extraordinary tabloid tale — Playboy centerfold, jeans model, bride of an octogenarian oil tycoon, reality show subject, tragic mother — died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39.
She was stricken while staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and was rushed to a hospital. Edwina Johnson, chief investigator for the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office, said the cause of death was under investigation and an autopsy would be done on Friday.
Just five months ago, Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel, died suddenly in the Bahamas in what was believed to be a drug-related death.
Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said a private nurse called 911 after finding Smith unresponsive in her sixth-floor room at the
Joshua Perper, the chief Broward County medical examiner who will perform the autopsy, said if her death was from natural causes, the findings would likely be announced quickly. He cautioned, however, that definitive results could take weeks.

hotel, which is on an Indian reservation. He said Smith's bodyguard administered CPR, but she was declared dead at a hospital. Later Thursday, two sheriff's deputies carried out at least eight brown paper bags sealed with red evidence tape from Smith's hotel room.
Through the 90s and into the new century, Smith was famous for being famous, a pop-culture punchline because of her up-and-down weight, her Marilyn Monroe looks, her exaggerated curves, her little-girl voice, her ditzy-blonde persona, and her over-the-top revealing outfits.

Gatekeeper makes the cut Campus entrances highly guarded by booth workers

BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
"I never laughed so hard in my entire life." Bleeed said.
When a group of girls drove on campus with a topless blow up doll hanging out the window of their Jeep Cherokee, Joyce Bledsoe; administrative assistant for the University of Kansas Parking Department, couldn't help but guffaw.
She has been working in the traffic information booths — the tiny outposts positioned at intersections around campus — for more than six years, helping people find their way.
"Helping people when they need help, I feel like that's a big asset to the University," Bledsoe said.
Bledsoe, who grew up on an 80 acre farm in Eudora, said drivers' inquiries ranged from directions to the highway to the best shopping areas in town. Before working at the information booths on campus, she was a custodian for more than 10 years in Murphy Hall and for the Parking Department, cleaning garages and offices.
Bledsoe is one of four employees who rotates between the booths every three weeks. One of the best parts of her job is greeting workers as they pass through daily.
She spends eight hours a day in one of the four booths on campus, counting the passing cars and
adorned with images of horses, American flags and panda bears.

She said visitors were often surprised to get a warning letter in the mail from the department. A second violation means a $50 ticket.
In one day, the two busiest booths — one by the Chi Omega fountain and another near the Kansas Union — could have 800 to 1000 cars pass through, Bledsoe said. The booth at Sunflower and Memorial Drive gets less traffic with more than 100 vehicles passing through last Thursday.

Richard Norton Smith, presidential historian, gives a speech about 38th President Gerald R. Ford at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on Thursday evening. Smith, who was director of the Dole Institute from 2001 to 2003, is currently a scholar-in-charge at George Mason University in Washington, D.C.

Speaker shares Ford stories Former Dole Institute director remembers late president
Norton said he met then-Vice President Ford when he visited the Harvard University campus while he was a student there.
Norton was greeted by the Smith couple in addition to a crowd of more than 200 people during the first installment of the Dole Institute's Presidential Lecture Series on Thursday, which featured a tribute to former President Gerald Ford.
BY TYLER HARBERT
"He said, 'We never even planned that;' Geraldine said.
The couple were admiring the glow of the sun shining on the United States flag in front of the Dole Institute when Norton came outside and greeted them.
"He chuckled and asked for a copy to display in his office," Norton said.
Geraldine Smith and her husband Glee remember one cloudless day five years ago, when Richard Norton Smith was the director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics.
"He was surprised there were enough Republicans at Harvard to even form a club," he said.
A Harvard student had drawn an unflattering cartoon of Ford, and because Norton was "an adolescent of annoying precocity," he showed the vice president the drawing.
Norton went on to become an intern at the White House and a freelance writer at The Washington
Post. From there, he took on speech writing for Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke before working for Senator Bob Dole.
As a historian, Norton has written five books and has been a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize.
Lacy said he was pleased someone so committed to the Dole Center could be brought in for the discussion.
With Norton's lecture, Lacy said the Dole Institute wanted to take a look at the significance of Ford's presidency. Norton not only knew Ford, but also delivered his eulogy
("He) is a nationally known and highly regarded presidential historian." Lacy said.
Norton said Ford's best moments as president happened off-camera.
"He was a driving force behind building and getting the Dole Institute off the ground," he said.
Kansan staff writer Tyler Harbert can be contacted at tharbert@ kansan.com.
Norton always wondered what Ford said as recently resigned President Richard Nixon waved goodbye on the steps of a helicopter. He had the opportunity to ask Ford.
"He leaned over in Mrs. Ford's ear and said, 'We can do it,'" Norton said. "He had to reassure his wife
before reassuring the country."

Twenty-eight degrees was cold enough for 5-year-olds Julian Almon and Seth Thompson-Glodich to skate on a makeshift ice rink Thursday afternoon at the Buford M. Watson Jr. Park, near Sixth and Kentucky streets.
"I'm staying warm," Julian said, red-faced and sniffing.
By Thursday, the rink had frozen over again.
Diane Almon, who watched the boys skate, said they enjoyed the rink every year it was available.
The Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department filled the base of the park with water from a nearby fire hydrant on Tuesday evening as warm temperatures melted ice that was already there.

"We don't pay for water because it's part of the city," DeVictor said. "Just a little money for labor."
When the sun comes to stay and the ice begins to melt, the water will pass through a drainage gate rather than make a mud hole in the park.
Sunday's forecast calls for a high of 48 degrees, which means the rink may not be around much longer.

ROSE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Rose's apartment, as well as the others on his floor, were flooded with a waterline of three feet, nine inches according to Martin's estimation. The water that was dumped on the building to combat the fire completely flooded Rose's apartment and left some paper products unrecognizable.
Martin said the search warrant for the apartment listed a package that Rose had reportedly received full of photos and other memorabilia "that may have played a part in how the fire started." Among the photos presented to the jury were several photos of Rose as a child and one with what appeared to be a birthday cake.
The most emotional scene of the day came during the afternoon session, when pictures of the three deceased victims were presented to the jury. The 14 jurors — six men and six women, in addition to two male alternates — viewed the photos with grimaced faces. At one point, one juror looked away.
The key ring gained access to Rose's vehicle, a GMC Jimmy, Martin said the vehicle was in a state of disarray with fast food trash and clothing. Arson dogs that searched the vehicle and the apartment didn't catch a "hit" of accelerator that may have been used in the fire. Martin said.
District coroner Erik Mitchell detailed the condition of all three victims - 21-year-old former KU
According to the report, Mitchell prepared following examination, Gonzalez and Riddle were both under the influence of alcohol. Riddle also had marijuana and cough syrup in her system, but Mitchell said he doubted that played a role.
student Nicole Bingham, 50-year-old Jose Gonzalez and 32-year-old Yolanda "Helen" Riddle.
"The substances she's got on board, we might not approve of," Mitchell said, "but they're not going to kill her."
A portion of Mitchell's testimony was heavily contested by defense attorney Ron Evans. The report listed the cause of death to be carbon monoxide poisoning and exposure to fire in all three cases, but the manner of death was ruled to be homicide. Evans wanted further explanation of the difference between "cause of death" and "manner of death." Cause of death was defined as the physical way a person dies, and manner of death is a classification determined by the coroner. Evans questioned Mitchell's role in the investigation into manner of death, and Mitchell said it was mostly determined by police information.
Bingham's mother, Nancy, said in October 2006 that she thought her daughter's previous heart condition was what kept her daughter from escaping. Mitchell, though, said the structure of the heart was present and that she hadn't been at immediate risk of heart failure.
Seven more Boardwalk survivors followed Wednesday's testimony by giving their own account of a night filled with pain and anguish that still lingers today. The victims described their injuries, starting at the bottom, with broken heels and fractured legs, all the way up to broken vertebrae and severe concussions.
"I realized after a while of living alone without my fiance to care for me that the nightmares and anxiety continued for a long time," James said.
Shelby James, whose last name was Oaks at the time of the fire, was in a wheelchair for a month and a half following the fire. A University of Kansas Medical Center student, she has since married, but she said her pain didn't stop with the second-degree burns on her feet.
"I told her. 'We have to jump or we're gonna die' Greenbaum said.
Eli Greenbaum was asleep in his third floor apartment with his girlfriend Dawn Davis. After awaking to flames outside the front door, they were quickly forced back to the bedroom window. Greenbaum said he made a painful realization.
Pastrana had been trapped in the third-floor apartment where she lived with her husband Victor Lamberto and their young daughter. Lamberto's brother, Joel Lamberto Maldonado, also lived in the apartment. Each of the adults testified through use of the Spanish translator.
The family, like so many others, were forced to escape through the bedroom window the night of the fire.
"There was no other way for us to save ourselves at that point," Maldanado said.
The trial will reconvene at 9 a.m. this morning in Judge Jack A. Murphy's District II courtroom.

President's uncle hid earnings
BY MARCY GORDON ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — One of President Bush's uncles, William H.T. Bush, was among directors of a defense contractor who reaped $6 million from what federal regulators say was an illegal scheme by two executives to manipulate the timing of stock option grants, documents show.
The uncle, known as "Bucky," is the youngest brother of former President George H.W. Bush and heads an investment firm. William H.T. Bush was an outside, nonexecutive director of Engineered Support Systems Inc., a defense contractor whose profits were bolstered because of the Iraq war.
St. Louis-based ESSI supplied equipment and electronics to the military. It was acquired last year by another defense contractor, DRS Technologies Inc. ESSI has been under investigation by federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning the alleged options backdating scheme.
Bush and the others who sat on the ESSI board were not accused of any wrongdoing in the SEC's civil lawsuit Tuesday against the company's former chief financial officer and former controller. Those two
were accused of enriching themselves and others with a five-yearlong backdating scheme. Bush made about $450,000 selling some of the stock in 2005
It was the third case by the agency since last summer involving alleged improper options backdating. More than 100 public companies are under investigation by the SEC and the Justice Department, more than $5 billion in profit has been erased by restatements and 18 chief executives have been swept from their jobs.
The SEC said the former ESSI finance chief, Gary Gerhardt, told the ex-controller, Steven Landmann, to give the outside directors back-dated options for 132,000 shares of company stock that exceeded what they were authorized by shareholders to receive.
"The company never disclosed to shareholders that it had awarded this additional compensation" to the directors, according to the suit in federal court in St. Louis. The directors "realized approximately $6 million in unauthorized compensation from the exercise of their additional stock options," the suit said.
ESSI employees and directors received about $20 million in unauthorized compensation as a result of the backdating, according to the SEC.

A number of retired high-ranking Army and Air Force officers sat on the company's board.
SEC officials declined to comment.
The SEC said in its suit that from 1997 through 2002, Gerhardt instructed Landmann to make company stock options more lucrative by backdating their exercise price to a historically low point in the stock's value. Usually, a stock option's exercise price coincides with the market value at the time of a grant; that gives the recipient an incentive to drive the price higher.

has been a tremendous honor to get this nomination."
Five other ESSI executives and directors also cashed in on the company's rising stock price at the time. The stock price was bolstered by record income, mainly from increases in the company's military contracts. They included adding armor to military trucks, refurbishing trailers the Army uses to haul tanks and supporting satellite communications for troops.
In the ESSI case, the improper backdating was worsened because the options vested immediately, enabling recipients to cash in instantly, the SEC said.

disclosed properly to investors and approved by the company's board or shareholders. If companies backdate options without accounting for the move, it can cause overstated profits and underpaid taxes.
William H.T. Bush made about $450,000 in January 2005 by exercising his company stock options and selling his, filing with the SEC shows. When questioned by reporters about the sale at the time, he said he had not pulled any strings in Washington for ESSI.

>> ROBOT COMMERCIAL
GM's Super Bowl ad draws ire
BY DAVID RUNK ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT—A Super Bowl ad showing a quality-obsessed General Motors Corp. robot jumping off a bridge in a dream sequence after screwing up on the job is drawing criticism from a suicide prevention group.
But the world's largest automaker is defending the ad and says it has no plans to change the spot, which is making the rounds online and is featured on GM's Web site after making its broadcast debut during Sunday's big game.
The ad, called "Robot," opens with the machine in question dropping a screw while working on a GM assembly line. It's kicked out of the plant and finds work waving a "Condos for Sale" sign and holding up a speaker at a fast-food joint, all the while appearing saddened by watching shiny, new GM vehicles drive by.
As the Eric Carmen song "All By Myself" plays in the background, the despondent robot leaps off a bridge into the water below, only to wake up inside the darkened factory — waking up from its dream.
The New York-based American
Foundation for Suicide Prevention says it started getting complaints the day after the ad aired and as of Thursday had fielded more than 250 e mails or calls. It wants GM to pull the ad from its Web site, try to get it off video-sharing Web sites such as YouTube and apologize.
"It was inappropriate to use depression and suicide as a way to sell cars," said Robert Gebbia, the foundation's executive director.
The ad is the latest from the Super Bowl to come under fire. Earlier this week, a commercial for Snickers candy bars was benched after complaints that it was homophobic. And aspiring rapper Kevin Federline apologized after a restaurant trade group said it was insulted by an ad that starred him as a fast food worker.
GM says the robot ad was designed to show the company's obsession with quality, highlighting its enhanced powertrain warranty of five years or 100,000 miles on all new light-duty vehicles starting with 2007 models.
Mark LaNeve, GM's vice president of sales, service and marketing, said the automaker had no plans to stop arriving the ad. It had a relatively small number of runs
The ad was screened by focus groups for insensitivity, and all found it amusing and effective in conveying the message about GM's quality, LaNeve said.
scheduled after the Super Bowl, and those will continue, he said.
"It's a dream sequence. It's not a person, and it's a robot that is a fantasy, I mean, that robot doesn't move around. 'Cmon', LaNeve said.
The ad has only aired once, but the online buzz has continued. The company didn't have details on how many times the ad had been watched on its Web site, but on YouTube alone it has drawn more than 350,000 views.
In a statement, GM said, "Advertising during the Super Bowl brings instant critiques, both positive and negative." GM said in a statement.
But Lisamarie Miller, 39, of Palatine, III, said she'll never buy a GM vehicle after seeing the ad online. The member of a the Chicago-area chapter of AFSP found out about it from the foundation — and has been sharing her disgust online as well as with friends, family and co-workers.

This simple yet classic item is sure to impress any fine female that you happen to be dating. After all, who can resist the allure of a stuffed face that stares blankly back at you?

3. See's Candies
Since 1921, See's Candies have been tantalizing taste buds across the country. It has been said that "Diamonds are a girl's best friend," but let's face it, you may be on a budget under $200. Also, most likely your innocent vixen won't see this one coming. She may
suspect you to go for the chocolate at the last minute, but hey, if you're going to do that anyway, you might as well find her some quality chocolates. Put down the Russell Stover's box that you found on sale at Hy Veen. If you want to show her that you love her, that is not the way to do it. Pick up a box at Nebraska Furniture Mart or get them online.
Price: $5 to $115

4. Playboy Subscription:
Remember, you're not buying him a subscription to Playboy because of the vast array of naked women featured in each issue, but because you care about your boyfriend's education. Past issues have included authors such as Hunter S. Thompson, Kurt Vonnegut, Margaret Atwood and John Updike. Oh, and let's face it, though you two would like to be together every waking hour of the day, it's just not possible. After he has delved into educational pursuits via the articles, he will likely focus his attention on the naked ladies. Don't worry, though. If your man loves you, he won't allow the silicon-laced ladies to tempt him, for in his eyes you are his only love. After all, the tagline is only "Entertainment for men."
Price: $16 to $25

Upon running out of ideas, roses serve as an excellent last-minute gift for your sweetheart. Whether you buy her one or a dozen red roses, the symbolism remains the same.

7. Calendar:
Does he often ask you what day of the week it is even after you've just told him that it's Wednesday? Has he forgotten your anniversary, or perhaps your birthday? Though it may have been tempting to smack him across the face for such offenses, he could have simply forgotten. This is why a calendar is the perfect gift for any forgetful guy. Now he will have no excuse for forgetting important days in your love lives. Calendars are magical things that require no electricity to operate and therefore never break down, get lost or get stolen. Lure him into your clutches with a calendar featuring something he's interested in, and then explain to him the purpose of your gift. Make sure to smother him with kisses if he attempts to argue about the greatness of his awful memory. Oh, and then remember to say "I love you."

Stores rake in business on Valentine's Day BY JESSICA SAIN-BAIRD
Rows of pink and red gifts, romantic cards and teddy bears welcome customers at Rod's Hallmark, 3239 Iowa St.
According to the Hallmark Press Room Web site at more than half of the U.S. population celebrates Valentine's Day by buying a card. Almost 50 percent of those cards are purchased in the six days prior to the holiday, the Web site said.
Marketing strategies for the businesses hardly change, as Holmes said her store continued regular advertising yet began to hand out filers prior to Valentine's Day. Beltram said her store did not advertise additionally for the holiday beyond using their marquee.
It's almost Valentine's Day, and that means an average of 35 to 40 percent more business compared to other times of the year, manager Jennifer Holmes said.
Red roses, balloons and plush items sell the most at Flowerama for the holiday, she said. Holmes said candles and candy remained popular at Rod's Hallmark around this time of year.
Business picks up the most from the weekend before Valentine's Day to the holiday itself. Holmes said, Victoria Beltram, owner and manager of Flowerama, 1700 23rd St., said her store has already felt the rush of Valentine's Day gift buying.

Businesses can work with smoking ban
Recent efforts to enact a statewide smoking ban in Kansas have faced harsh opposition from the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Kansas business owners. The bill, which would ban smoking in public places such as businesses, bars and restaurants in Kansas, is being taught on the grounds that it unfairly rejects smokers' right to smoke and that it will have a negative impact on business. These arguments are unfair and inadequate when stacked against the health benefits of enacting the ban.
There are many reasons it's unlikely that a statewide smoking ban would significantly affect restaurants and bars. Customers who smoke would not relocate just to
be closer to pro smoking facilities. Even those who live on a Kansas border would be more likely to consider food, liquor specials and costs before smoking options across the state line.

The proposed ban is not a discriminatory act to deny smokers freedom. It simply considers the effect of smoke in public places with the fact that most Ameri-
concerned about losing customers would need only to invest in a smoking porch and heated torch lamps to become smoker-friendly hotspots. And visiting individuals who had previously avoided smoky environments might enhance business. Non-smokers do make up a majority of the U.S. population.
Numerous studies have shown that smoke is not just a nuisance. The unavoidable fact is that smoking is a dangerous and potentially deadly activity. Cigarette smoke, which contains cancer-causing chemicals, is linked to a multitude of diseases and health issues and affects nonsmokers as well as smokers.

One could argue that by not enacting a smoking ban, non-smokers are being denied their right to clean air Smoky environments are particularly harmful for individuals who do not smoke for health reasons, such as those with respiratory and coronary conditions.
cans do not smoke
The proposed ban is not a discriminatory act to deny smokers' freedom. It simply considers the effect of smoke in public places with the fact that most Americans do not smoke.
The scientific phenomenon of particle dispersion means that there is no such thing as a smoking sec.
According to the American Lung Association, nearly 3,000 non-smokers die annually from lung cancer caused by secondhand smoke.
The proposed smoking ban in Kansas is not a
battle against businesses or smokers. Businesses wouldn't face significant financial loss and could evolve to become smoker friendly, and just because smokers have the right to smoke doesn't give them the right to pollute a public space.
If the Kansas Senate passes the bill, it makes a decision to improve state health statistics.
The Kansas smoking ban would benefit the majority of Americans who choose not to smoke and would set a positive example of health for future generations.

COMMENTARY
Media will fulfill their roles when you fulfill yours
Our generation is growing up with dramatically greater access to information than any other, yet paradoxically, political knowledge hasn't increased. The vast number of choices has allowed indolent Americans to avoid in-depth news coverage altogether in exchange for infotainment and petty political theater.
In a study published in the July 2005 "American Journal of Political Science," Princeton Professor Markus Prior states that because politics increasingly has to compete with entertainment, there's a growing disparity in political knowledge between those who seek out political information and those who prefer amusement over substantive programming.
Although that conclusion isn't exactly earth-shattering, it does indicate that both the media and citizens are doing a crummy job at bolstering democracy.
The media are responsible for making high quality information
available to the public in order for citizens to form authentic and rational opinions about politics. "In turn citizens can articulate their demands to government and hold officials accountable

Sensationalist cable news channels such as Fox News and CNN frame their debates that gives the illusion that there are only two sides to any issue. This simplifies issues for the general public, but it also decreases free thinking in America.
Screaming pundits articulate what liberal or conservative niche audiences feel in their gut, but good journalism unsettles long-standing

Sick students, staff should stay at home
Feeling sick one morning, recalled a conversation I had heard earlier between two classmates. One told the other that she had a doctor's appointment later because she thought she had bronchitis. Every time she coughed my hairs stood on end. It was difficult to sympathize with for her being sick, as I felt nauseated listening to her hack right next to me.
I also recalled the chorus of sniffles, sneezes and barks that echoed through the lecture hall.
Therefore, I offer the following advice to students and faculty who are walking slogans for Nyquil:
I know were at the peak of cold and flu season and that even if I lived in a bubble the rest of my life, I may not escape the flu. But I pay tuition and am entitled to an education without my rights being infringed, including the right to health. I should not be afraid to enter a classroom.
1. Stay home! No, this isn't an excuse for ditchers, but if your nose is running faster than the Nigra River, spare the rest of us. If it's not a test day or a project due date, it's not that important to attend.
2. If you have a choice in seating, don't sit next to someone.
3. Professors tell students on the first day of class to treat the course as they would a job. Would you still go to work with a fever and a runny nose? Employers offer personal and sick days for this very reason.
4. Learn how to cough and sneeze properly. Coughing or sneezing into a fist is not the best way to contain germs. Experts advise to "cover that cough" with your elbow.
5. Don't kiss anyone and don't ask to be kissed either.

Jayhawks psyched.
BY MICHAEL P.
Darrell Arthur has only been in Kansas for a few months now, so he turned to sophomore forward Julian Wright with a question. "Who's the bigger rival," he asked or Missouri?
Wright told him it was Missouri. "He didn't really explain why, but I guess they always fight real hard when we play," Arthur said.
The freshman forward will get his second help of the Border War when Kansas takes on Missouri at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Columbia.
It's fitting that the Jayhawks play both the Wildcats and the Tigers in the same week — first a rivalry game, then The Rivalry Game.
"This is a very important game," coach Bill Self said.
"We anticipate as tough of a game as a team can play. I'm sure that."

The last time these teams met was a breakout game for freshman guard Sherron Collins, who put up a team-high 23 points against the Tigers.
"We know what kind of team they are," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "I think in practice were going to do a lot of running to get ready."
Recently, Self rewarded him with more playing times during games. Self's new target for Collins is between 26 and 28 minutes a game, up from the low 20s in January.
He's getting better all the time." Self said. "Your performance is a direct reflection of your attitude and he's had a fabulous attitude. He's really reaping the benefits of being a sponge, wanting to be coached and understanding the big picture."
Collins is also getting more plays drawn up for him. His ability to run off screens makes it easier for the forwards to pass the ball to him on the perimeter.
He'll be given a big test on defense. The Tigers are averaging 8.2 three pointers per game and sophomore guard Matt Lawrence is connecting on 46 percent of his shots from behind the arc.
Lawrence said after the Iowa State game that his hesitance was a reason the Tigers lost to Nebraska at home last Saturday.
"Coach Anderson has told me repeatedly that when I don't score and don't shoot the ball and when I'm open, I'm actually hurting the team," he told reporters. "That's what I did at home. I didn't shoot the ball, and I had a couple looks that I passed up. I played with a little fear in
that game."
at I passed up. I played with a little fear in that name"
If Lawrence stumbles on Saturday, he'll have the Mizzou Arena crowd behind him, ready to prop him back up.
Collins is ready for the match up and is already preparing himself for a hostile venue.
"We've got to stay on the same page and not get rattled by the crowd," he said. "We've got to stick together."

Senior leadership key to win Javhawks look to build on first Big 12 victory of season
BY CASE KEEFER
That win finally came Tuesday night against Colorado. After dropping their first nine conference games, the Jayhawks beat the Buffaloes 70-68.
All season long the talk surrounding the Kansas women's basketball team has been about getting its first Big 12 Conference victory and building upon it.
"Everyday these players come in thinking they can win the next game," said coach Bonnie Henrickson. "From a confidence standpoint, it's a huge step forwards for us."
Kansas will try to take another step in the right direction when it travels to Austin, Texas, to face the Lonehorns on Saturday.
With the newly discovered senior leadership being deployed, there's a good chance that Kansas could give
Smith has led the team on defense with her ability to put opponents in vulnerable situations. Mosley has transformed a dismal offense by averaging 13 points in Big 12 play and recording three double-doubles.
That's what seniors do," Henrickson said, "Shaq has led us all year and Sharita is a great lesson to these young kids."
Texas a scare. In the last three games the Jayhawks' only two seniors, guards Shaquina Mosley and Sharita Smith, have been nearly flawless.
The only problem is much of Saturday's game may be out of their hands. Texas doesn't win and lose games in the backcourt; it relies on post play.
National Player of the Year candidate Tiffany Jackson has been unstoppable this season. The forward is fourth in the Big 12 in both scoring and rebounding.
The big question is which Jayhawk will have to guard Jackson. Junior forward Taylor McIntosh has been Kansas' best backcourt defender, but at 6-foot-3 Jackson would have a major height advantage.
Size wise, sophomore forward Marija Zimic seems to be the best fit. She returned Tuesday after being injured for most of last month but was ineffective defensively.
"Tiffany Jackson is one of the best players in this league," Henrickson said. "We've got our hands full again."
She gave up nine points in nine minutes to Colorado's best option in the post and Henrickson described her performance as "soft."
She'll have to fix that problem for the Jayhawks to have a chance Saturday.

Collins takes lead gets more play time
BY DREW DAVISON
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM
It's time for Kansas to play its real rival: Missouri. Wednesday night's thrashing of Kansas State
was nice to see, especially when you see sophomore center Matt Kleinmann's name in Kansas' stat line. Whenever that happens, you know one of the following happened: 1) A Kansas player got injured or 2) Kansas laid the smack down on the opposing team. The latter happened as the laywhaws sent the Wildcats back to the armpit of Kansas, commonly referred to as Manhattan.
And now, just three days later, the Jayhawks will face their real rival in Columbia. The Tigers gave it all they had in their first meeting, losing by three points in Allen Fieldhouse.
The sole reason Kansas came out on top against Missouri was because freshman guard Sherron Collins scored 23 points in 26 minutes. In Saturday's loss to Texas A&M, Collins was the only KU player who showed up, scoring a team-high 18 points.
On a team with no senior leadership, it seems like Collins is filling the roll.
One, the lavwhacks are rebounding the ball better. Ever since Self called KU's big guys "soft" after the Colorado game, they have come out strong the last three games. Kansas has out-rebounded the last three opponents by staggering margins: K-State 46 to 24, Texas A&M 40 to 29 and Nebraska 47 to 21. If the post players show up tomorrow, Kansas should dominate the paint all day long.
Two, it's Missouri. Rush may not have been motivated to play Detroit earlier this season, but he has averaged nearly 15 points in all three of his games against Missouri, where his brother Kareem went to college.
I have no problem if a team, including Kansas, relies on a freshman to lead it like Texas and Ohio State are doing this year. But Collins did make two costly turnovers late in the game, which showed his inexperience in the clutch. Furthermore, on a team with Brandon Rush, Julian Wright and Mario Chaliners, you're telling me not one of them can, or will, step up?
Sure, coach Bill Self put the ball in sophomore guard Mario Chalmers' hands in the final second of the A&M game, but after the game, self said Collins would get more playing time.
There are still question marks about tomorrow's game, especially after Saturday's late meltdown. Yes, beating K-State was great, but going on the road in the big 12 is tough — especially at Missouri. The Jayhawks haven't won there in two years. The Tigers are coming off a 22-point win on the road against Iowa State, where the Jayhawks needed an overtime to win a month ago. A lot has changed in that month, though.
And three, Collins. He has become the man to ignite lavayk scoring runs. He has proven himself as a big time player, especially after Saturday's game.
I expect MU coach Mike Anderson to come at KU with the same game-play he had earlier in the year — slow the game down and limit the number of possessions. It nearly worked in Allen Fieldhouse, and it will nearly work again in the Mizzou Arena.The Jayhawks win by five, 79-74.

Mobile ESPN returns
Verizon to provide sports feed by phone
BY BRUCE MEYERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The rocketing to bring the most popular names from TV and the Web to cell phones produced another exclusive deal Thursday with Verizon Wireless nabbing a multi-year agreement to offer ESPN's flashy feed of sports scores, newscasts and video highlights on the tiny screen.
The plan to revive Mobile ESPN — initially born as a full-blown cell phone company competing with big players like Verizon before ESPN pulled the plug last year — comes on the heels of similar partnerships adding a mobile outlet to the hottest Web properties.
The most publicized deal came a month ago as Apple Inc. forged an exclusive arrangement with AT&T Inc.'s Gingular Wireless for
now installed on nearly every cell phone. ESPN, for example, will still offer mobile access to some of its content through Web links featured by numerous wireless providers.
But since the most widely used technology for adapting Web pages to mobile phones remains highly imperfect, the recent partnerships are designed to provide much smoother controls and presentation customized to the constraints of a handset's small screen and cramped buttons.
ESPN, for example, will still offer mobile access to some of its content through Web links featured by numerous wireless providers.
The partners have somewhat different motivations. The Webplayers are simply trying to pallay their success into new revenue and protect their popularity against copcats by providing access in a

Verizon Wireless notched deals in November to become the sole U.S. mobile portal for two top video-sharing sites, Google Inc's YouTube and Rever.com On the social networking side. News Corp's MySpace has granted limited exclusivity to AT&T's Cingular in the United States and to Vodafone Group PLC overseas.
for cell carriers, the deals provide a way to differentiate themselves at a time
Exclusive arrangements don't necessarily mean that customers of other wireless companies are out of luck. Regardless of the carrier, it's still possible to access most of these services through the mobile Web browser that's
when revenue from phone calls is shrinking. All of the national providers have invested billions to upgrade their wireless networks, which they are using to generate new revenue by selling multimedia content from music to video and plain old Web surfing.
The Mobile ESPN service, expected to launch in the coming months, is to be included free as part of the $15 a month or $3 a day charge for V Cast's assorted multimedia offerings.
The Verizon relationship is the first example of the new strategy that ESPN executives promised last September in announcing they were pulling the plug on Mobile ESPN as a standalone cell phone company featuring its own handsets, calling plans, customer service and monthly phone bills.
what others are Saying
Regional and national media's take on Kansas athletics
Collected by Ryan Schneider
"Biggest disappointment: Kansas. The biggest reason Kansas can look great one minute and lost the next is because the team rides the streaky shooting of enigmatical Brandon Rush, the most overrated player in the Big 12. Coach Bill Self needs to start giving more of Rush's minutes to freshman Sherron Collins, who has been a much more aggressive, scoreer and sparkplug to his teammates. Kansas has had four league games come down to the final seconds – going 2-2. In those games, Rush was 16-of-54 from the field (291) while averaging 12 points. Collins was 23-of-37 (622) while averaging 15.3 points."
"Maybe things will be different in 12 days when they meet again in Manhattan. I doubt it. While the Cats are likely to be far more competitive inside Bramlage Coliseum, Huggins simply doesn't have the talented bodies to match up with Self's collection of NBA players. It's going to take Walker, the injured freshman, and Beasley, the nation's top recruit for 2007-08, to make this series legit. Right now Kansas has every conceivable talent advantage and a million different ways to exploit those advantages."
—Dallas Morning News columnist Chip Brown's weekly Big 12 wrap up. Feb. 5.
-Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock on Wednesday's game, Feb. 8.
"The Kansas State train is coming down the tracks, don't worry about that. But it's not here yet — at least as far as being able to rise to KU's level on a night when the Jayhawks play at a high level. Kansas consumed the Wildcats. If guard Jermaine Maybank doesn't score 26 points, approaching his total in K-State's previous 14 games, the final score isn't fit for family viewing. Now, how will Kansas play Saturday in Columbia against rival Missouri? There wasn't a question as to which was the better team Wednesday, but there are lingering questions about whether Kansas can put together two consecutive great efforts."
"Saturday night was another reminder that Phog Allen, not Cameron, is the best, loudest and most intimidating basketball arena in the country. The alma mater sound, the Rock Chalk Jayhawk chant, the swaying of the crowd and the deafening noise at times, make The Phog a true treasure in the sport."

Chargers safety Kiel pleads guilty to two drug charges-SAN DIEGO - Chargers safety
Terrence Kiel pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor drug charges for shipping codeine-based cough syrup to Texas, part of a plea bargain that could allow him to avoid jail time.
Kiel was ordered to do 100 hours of volunteer work, including talking to young people about the dangers of drugs, and undergo counseling for gambling.

Phil Mickelson tees off on the 12th hole during the first round of the Pebble Beach National Pro- Am golf tournament at Poppy Hills golf course in Pebble Beach, Calif. Thursday, Mickelson is tied for the lead after the first day.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The dream was still alive, though. The site drew 200,000 page views on the day before the game, and according to Fishkins'
Man proposes in TV ad
Fishkin, 27, got into the advertising gambit after a Tennessee man who started a Web site to try to raise $2.6 million to buy a Super Bowl ad learned last fall that his dream girl would turn him down.
SEATTLE — Rand Fishkin wanted to propose to his girlfriend with a Super Bowl ad. That didn't quite work out, but there was still local TV, and he got the answer he wanted.
Fishkin took over the Web site — mysuperproposal.com — which by then had dropped the fundraising plan in favor of luring a corporate sponsor, and things were looking good.
UNUSUAL AD
relatives, CBS called on game day to say the network would air a video he made himself as an in-house spot. But then the network called again by halftime to say the ad didn't run after all.
So Fishkin turned to another funding source — his mom—and bought a $3,000 local ad on Tuesday during his girlfriend's favorite show, "Veronica Mars."
In his ad, Fishkim, held up a picture of himself and Geraldine DeRuiter, 26.
"And that's why I'm here today.
Geraldine, will you marry me?"
"The whole world?" he says.
"This is Geraldine. She is amazing in every way. For the last five years, we've spent the best parts of our lives together and made it through the tough times, too. I couldn't ask for anything more in my life than her love.
Right after the ad aired, DeRuiter said yes.

perhaps the key to containing Jackson will be disrupting guard Carla Cortijo's passing lanes. Smith is capable of doing just that.
"I don't think the game is over till the last horn sounds," she said. "I keep telling my teammates to push and work through it."
Mickelson tied for lead
Henrickson's trademark victory since taking over the Kansas program was last year's 70-61 win over Texas. If she could lead the struggling layhawks into Austin and come out with a win it would not only surpass last year's triumph but be a defining moment in a season full of disappointment.

Mickelson and Watney played at Poppy Hills, the easiest of three courses in the rotation because it is the farthest from the Pacific Ocean and shielded by trees.
One thing was clear on a gray afternoon on the Monterey Peninsula was the return of the miserable conditions that have made this tournament infamous over the years. It was cold, wet and windy — known as "Crosby" weather in these parts because of the years when Bing Crosby was the tournament host.
Edited by Trevan McGee
Mickelson, nowhere near the leaderboard since his collapse at the U.S. Open last summer, eagled his final hole at Poppy Hills for a 7-under 60 to share the lead with rookie John Mallinger and Nick Watney in the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Four tournaments into his season, Phil Mickelson showed signs of turning the corner Thursday.
Mickelson is a two time winner at Pebble Beach, his most recent victory coming two years ago when he
Jim Furky played his best golf in the worst conditions, making five birds on the back nine at Spyglass Hill for a 67. Also at 67 was Arjun Atwal, another early starter at Pebble Beach who went without a bogy until the 18th. The wind was blowing so hard off the ocean that his tee shot sailed right of a bunker, nearly into the hedges.
"It was beneficial," he said.
He should clarify "good" in this case, because sunshine has graced this picturesque peninsula the last six years. It was good for 14 holes because the flags weren't bending sideways, the clouds had not released the rain and it didn't feel like winter.
however, started his round on the 10th tee in the virtual calm of the morning, and gusts strong enough to topple a tree at Spyglass Hill didn't arrive until he had only five holes remaining.
Then again, it helped that he made 100 feet worth of birdie putts on his first three holes, starting with a 60-footer from just short of the 10th green.
"I got 14 holes with good weather," Mailing said. "Those are where you make your birdies, so when you've got good weather, you've got an advantage."
opened with a 62 at Spyglass and was never seriously challenged the rest of the week.
He had not played since going 0-4-1 at the Ryder Cup, taking a three-month break and approaching this year feeling fresh. Instead, he looked rusty at the Bob Hope Classic and Buick Invitational, where he finished in the middle of the pack, and at the FBR Open last week outside Phoenix, where he missed the cut.
Mickelson ran off three straight birdies on the back nine at Poppy Hills, made the turn in 31 and then settled for pars in the cold, blustery conditions until the par-5 ninth, where he shot into a share of the lead.
Poppy was the place to be.
It was the only course that averaged under par in the opening round, while the average at Pebble Beac<sup>1</sup> was nearly 75.
Pebble was a pussycat in the cool, calm of the morning. The flags were limp, the greens were holding and several players easily climbed to the top of the leaderboard. Then, it was a matter of holding on.
John Daly was among the early contenders at 4 under through his first seven holes. His final tee shot hopped over the edge and down onto the rocks along the 18th, and he made bogey for a 72.
BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Tigers land Missouri's top prospect
COLUMBIA, Mo. — National signing day was a bit of an anti-climax for Missouri recruiting director Dave Yost, who had lost his voice shouting encouragement during early-morning workouts with the six new players already on campus.
The Tigers' 27 player class announced Wednesday included two freshmen who secured their diplomas early, in time to enroll for the second semester. Linebackers Michael Keck of Harrisonville, ranked the No.1 prospect in the state according to two scouting services, and Luke Lambert of Brookfield, joined four junior college transfers getting a head start on spring practice.
- "By the time we get to spring ball 'they'll be veterans'"
- They're the first freshmen to enroll early at Missouri.
- Enrolling early is common for junior college transfers. Coach Gary Pinkel said it's becoming a trend for high school students, too.
"We've had some guys talk about it before." Yost said. "This year, Michael Keck said he was going to do it and we said that was fine. Then Luke said he wanted to do it, too."
Those two are joining four junior college transfers for informal 6 a.m. twice weekly workouts for the next five weeks, along with weight lifting sessions. The Juco transfers are defensive linemen Jaysen Corbett of Galt, Calif., and Andy Maples of Lester, Ala., defensive back Justin Garrett of Baton Rouge, La., and wide receiver/defensive back
"We're seeing it more and more," Pinkel said. "I think if a player really wants to do it, and it's in his heart to do it, it's great. We like it as 'coaches.'"
Tremane Vaughns of Patterson, La.
Pinkel, who'll be entering his seventh season at Missouri, said this is his largest early enrollment class.
"They're good kids," he said. "When you can drop those kids on your depth chart in January, that gives them a chance to get really involved.
Keck was judged the top prospect in the state by both Rivals.com and Super Prep, and leads a class that was highly decorated whether or not they make it at the next level. Missouri views such scouting services mainly as entertainment for diehard fans, although many players seem acutely aware of where they rank.
Daniel has the goods to go with his EA Sports national high school player of the year award in 2004, seizing the Missouri quarterback job last year as a redshirt sophomore. But so did Danario Alexander, who got a chance to play as a true freshman due to injuries last year and caught a long touchdown pass in the Sun Bowl.
"The kids really pay attention to it, they'll say 'They've only got me as a 3-star. coach. What's up with that?' Yost said. "Chase Daniel knew exactly where he was and who was ahead of him."
J. T. Beasley of Dyersburg, Tenn., was ranked the No.16 center in the nation by Rivals. Carl Gettis of O'Fallon, Mo., was ranked the No.45 running back prospect in the nation and Dominique Hamilton the No.29 defensive tackle prospect — both by Rivals.
Danario was a 2-star guy and he played as a freshman and there's a bunch of 4-star receivers who didn't play because they weren't ready, Yost said. "You never know how fast
Missouri has its own numbers to sell. Recruiters can point to three bowl trips in four years, along with gooey bags players receive from organizing committees. When 42 junior prospects were in town a week ago, the tour highlight was the school's recently completed $16 million renovation and expansion of the athletic training complex.
"It is really second to none" Pinkel said.
How else would you know I'm a KU fan?
a guy's going to come on and what he can do"

TRACK AND EIELD
Squad splits up for meets
Athletes pass up Ames in favor of Fayetteville, Seattle
BY TAYLOR BERN
While the schedule has the Kansas track and field team headed for Ames, Iowa, this weekend, several layhawks will find themselves at other locations across the country in hopes of improving upon provisional marks before the Big 12 Indoor Championships on Feb. 23 and 24.
The ISU Classic will give Kansas a good look at the 300 meter track on which they will compete for a Big 12 title, but it will not necessarily offer the best competition at this point in the season. A handful of competitors will instead travel to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Ark., and two will fly to the University of Washington in Seattle.
Most of the 13 lashwavers who currently rank in the top five in the
Big 12 for their respective events will make the trip to Fayetteville for the Tyson invitational. This includes sophomore thrower Egor Agafianov, who leads the Big 12 and ranks second in the nation with his mark of 74-0 3/4 in the weight throw.
joining him will be sophomore thrower Zita Tarasosa, who currently has the fourth best throw in the big 12, and junior Ashley Brown, whose time of 8.43 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles puts her at second in the conference.
Pole vaulters Kate Sultanova, junior, and Brittany Parker, freshman, who rank first and second in the Big 12, will also travel to Arkansas, Tom Hays, vertical jump coach, thinks that Favetteville offers the best venue for his athletes.
Hays added that the faster track and bigger poles used in Arkansas will help when it comes to the conference meet.
"We were going there because it's the national meet surface and its prob
ably the best place in the country to jump high at. Hays said.
Junior distance runners Colby Wissel and aul Hefferon will travel to Seattle for the UW Invitational, and both will run their first 5,000-meter runs of the season.
"I'm excited, but I'm also a bit nervous," Heffron said. "It's basically my only chance to qualify for the NCAA Championships in the 5,000, so there's a lot of pressure on the race."

BASEBALL
Freshman pitcher plays with fire
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Heading into his first series of the season, coach Ritch Price didn't know what to expect from the five pitchers he had slated to start.
The group consisted of two returning sophomores, two transfers and a freshman. To make Price even more uneasy, his own pitching coach, Ryan Graves, wasn't sure how he'd perform either.
"Couch Graves and I talked before the first game and I asked him point blank. How are we going to pitch?" He said, "Coach, I have no idea." Price said.
All five pitchers came away with victories, but it was freshman left bander Wally Marcel who had his coaches most excited.
"I can't tell you how thrilled we were with him." Price said. "The competitiveness, the fire and the emotion he showed were really impressive."
His competitive side came out in the second innning after the first three Hawaii Hilo batters loaded the bases. Marceliel responded with back-to-back strikeouts. Although two runs eventually scored before he got out of the jam, Marceliel showed his coaches what they needed to see.
"I just couldn't believe how competitive he was in that environment and that was the biggest thing I
thought he brought to the table"
Price said
The environment Marcel pitched in wasn't that foreign to him. While Hilo was thousands of miles from home for most jayhawks, it was only a short distance from Marcel's
hometown of Kailua, Hawaii.
Marceli
With the familiar surroundings came added pressure. Marcelic had nearly 20 supporters, including family mem
bers, friends and high school teachers, on hand to watch his collegiate debut. He was also familiar with some of the opposition.
"It was my first collegiate start, playing against some of my ex-taminates from high school and it was pretty hard playing against them because they would just talk a lot to me," Marcel said.
Outside of the second inning; Marceliel was on cruise control. The second inning proved to be the only inning he allowed the Vulcans to score or even earn a hit. The southpaw ended up striking out six batters in five innings.
Marcel's performance wasn't a fluke. In fact, he was a hot commodity coming out of high school as the No. 1 recruit in Hawaii.
He even caught the attention of at least one major league baseball team as the Tampa Bay Devil Rays picked him in the 36th round of last spring's MLB amateur draft.
But before he made a final decision, he talked to Price and thought back to the first time he met him at a high school baseball camp sponsored by Stanford University.
"I met coach Price at the Stanford camp and right from that point I knew I was going to play for him," Marceli said.
Price said he was excited Marcel chose to come to Kansas and so are the pitchers Marcel is competing with for a weekend starting spot.
"I'm not sure what his role's going to be, but he's got a lot of talent, a lot of potential, and he's definitely going to help us out this spring season, 2007," sophomore pitcher Nick Cazz said.
Price has yet to name weekend and midweek starters, but he has high hopes that the young Hawaiian will thrive in whatever role he's given.
"He has a chance to be the best freshman we've had since I've been here," Price said.

Smith, Salina junior, is looking forward to returning to the court as Kansas takes on Arkansas this Sunday, and said the time off might have renewed her passion for tennis.
》 WOMEN'S TENNIS
Smith ready for Razorbacks KU player returns after three months on the injured list
"I've been really sick and injured," Smith said. "Our whole team has been in the same situation."
Yes, you have to go all the way back to the North Carolina Tournament on Nov. 12 to find Smith's name in the box score.
BY RUSTIN DODD
Do not blame Stephanie Smith if she does not vividly remember the last time she took the court for Kansas.
"Well, it was in the fall." Smith said. "It must have been early November."
It has been awhile.
“It's tough having to sit out so much. I've learned how much I love playing and how much I miss it when I'm not.”
NFL
Cowboys hire Wade Phillips to replace retired Parcells
Smith's story parallels the entire season thus far. It has not been poor coaching or terrible play that has led the layhawks to a 1-5 start. Instead, they have been doomed by a few unfortunate bounces, a demanding early season schedule, and an inability to foster a lineup of six healthy players.
IRVING, Texas — Twice during his introduction of Wade Phillips as Dallas Cowboys coach, Jerry Jones had to stop and gather himself. The decision was that emotional for the team owner.
"Arkansas is great competition," Smith said. "It could be a great win for us. We're just trying to stay positive and get over the hump."
"We needed to get it right," Jones said, pausing as tears welled up in his eyes. "In my mind, we got it right."
Kansan sportswriter Rustin Dodd can be contacted at rdodd@kansan.com.
Smith and junior Ksenia Bukina have both missed time this year. While Bukina's status is unknown, Smith should give the Jayhawks a complete lineup against Arkansas. A healthy Smith might be able to provide the spark needed to get the Jayhawks past a tough Arkansas squad.
The Razorbacks will venture into Sunday's duel ranked 55th in the country. The team is 4-1 on the season and had a strong showing against Sam Houston State and St. Louis last weekend. The Razorbacks captured both duals 7-0. The Razorbacks also feature the 65th ranked singles player in the country, sophomore Ela Kaluder. No.
1 singles player Elizavita Avdeeva
will have to at her best to drop
Kaluder, who has not dropped a
singles match all spring.
By just glancing at the 4-1 record of Arkansas and the 1-5 record of Kansas, this contest might appear to be a mismatch. Yet, it is still a winnable duel for the Jayhawks. These two teams met a year ago at Arkansas and the Razorbacks squeaked out a 4-3 victory. In addition, Arkansas' lone defeat came at home to Tulsa, 4-3. Kansas lost at home to the same Tulsa squad 4-3 on Jan. 21st.
Edited by Trevan McGee
Phillips was hired Thursday, providing Dallas with an experienced replacement for Bill Parcells and someone well-versed in the 3-4 defense.
Maybe more significantly for Jones was getting a coach who can win now. The Cowboys haven't won a postseason game in 10 seasons, the longest drought in team history.
The seventh coach in team history, Phillips is only the second to arrive in Dallas with previous
NFL head coaching experience.
The other was Parcells, who retired
Jan. 22 after four seasons with the
Cowboys.
Phillips, defensive coordinator at San Diego the past three seasons, has a 48-42 head coaching record over three seasons with Buffalo, two with Denver and season-end-interim stints with New Orleans and Atlanta. The 59-year-old son of longtime Houston Oilers coach Burn Phillips has been in the NFL for 30 of the last 31 seasons.

Amy Bolger, of the Brooklyn borough of New York, stands by as American cyclist Floyd Landis, right winner of the 2006 Tour de France, autographs an item for her at a fundraiser for the Floyd Fairness Fund, Wednesday in the Brooklyn borough of New York.
PARIS — Floyd Landis will skip the Tour de France — and all races in France this year — as part of an agreement with French doping authorities in a case that could strip him of cycling's most prestigious title.
Last year's Tour champion had hip-replacement surgery 4 1/2 months ago and was unlikely to have competed in this year's Tour. He agreed Thursday not to race again in France until 2008, and in return the French anti-doping agency postponed its decision on whether to suspend him from competing in France for a maximum of two years because of a positive doping test.
"Floyd is pleased that the AFLD has agreed with his counsel's request that they suspend this proceeding," spokesman Michael Henson said.
Earlier, AFLD president Pierre Bordryd said Landis "understood perfectly that if he didn't act today, we would start the procedure immediately"
Landis will go before the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on May 14 and, following that, the AFLD will deliver its verdict in June.
"We will let Landis defend him as he wishes." Bordryd said.
The American, who has denied wrongdoing, did not appear at Thursday's meeting of the AFLD's nine-member panel, but sent a lawyer who read his request for a delay.
In the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, Landis said the parallel cases in France and the United States were complicating matters. He asked the French agency to hold off until after the U.S. agency rules. The USADA will hold its hearings May 14.
"In this case, and in order to
avoid any misunderstanding, 1 agree to voluntarily not participate in any professional or amateur cycling event in France until December 31, 2007, and in particular the Tour de France 2007." Landis said in the letter.
Bordryd said Landis deserves to be heard by the USADA. However, Bordryd echoed Tour de France president Christian Prudhomme's sentiment that the American agency was dragging out its process.
Landis spokesman Michael Henson said Landis was happy with the AFLD's decision.

"I think it is one of those things where I just came back too soon," Iverson said. "I couldn't be me on the basketball court. I am more effective being aggressive and going to the basket and making things happen."

Coach George Karl, who has spent the last two months juggling his lineup because of trades, injuries and suspensions, kept up a brave front in the face of his latest setback regarding iverson.
"We are good enough to win without him," Karl said, "and it will be special if we can get everyone on the court."

If Iverson backs out of his eight All-Star appearance, that would give teammate Carmelo Anthony another crack at making his first All-Team team as one of commissioner David Stern's injury replacement picks. Stern has said he won't hold Anthony's 15-game suspension for fighting against him when choosing replacements.

Match-ups key for Missouri
Student presence necessary to help action on the court
MARK HOWARD
BY CRAIG LACKEY
A darkness is spreading across the land, enveloping all in its path. The coming storm brings a shudder to every man, woman, and child in Columbia. Don your black and gold armor and sound the war drums because the Kansas Jayhawks are coming to town.
This Saturday's tilt between arch- enemies MU and Kansas presents two teams on different paths. Kansas is ranked in the top 10 and at the time of writing boasts a 19-4 record, including 6-2 within the Big 12. MU, on the other hand, comes into the game with a 14-8 record and has struggled within the conference at 3-6. The match-up at Mizzou Arena gives the Tigers a chance to pull an upset win and send a statement that the team is improving under coach Mike Anderson.
For decades, the two universities have engaged in a rivalry that is among the greatest in all college sports. But let me be brutally honest, lately this rivalry has been more in spirit than in actual performance. Recently, Missouri has struggled to match the play of its nemesis and
The Jayhawks boast a young and talented roster that has made great strides and currently sits in second place in the Big 12. Their accolades include a stunning victory against defending national champs Florida and averaging 77.3 points as a team. The Tigers will look to shut down the energetic Jayhawks while avoiding the trap of a 3-point heavy game plan.
has compiled a 3-9 record against the layhawks over the past five seasons. A win against Kansas at home would be a huge boost in morale for not only the team but also the university as a whole.
Position match-ups will be a major factor in the game and MU must find a way to exploit Kansas' weaknesses. it is essential that the Tigers establish a low post game and center Kalen Grimes will have to control the paint on both sides of the ball. The wild card could be giant KU center Sasha Kaun, who towers over the court at 611'. A lack of interior offense was a factor in Missouri's loss to Nebraska and a repeat performance will certainly lead to a lack of open shots on
Another battle to watch is the play of guards Steffon Hannah and Brandon Rush, the leading scorers for both squads. The Tigers have to find a way to shut down Rush or Kansas may walk all over them. The sophomore is the best player on the layhawks and his performance may emulate Kansas's fortunes.
the perimeter.
Missouri would be wise to make the guard as uncomfortable as possible whenever handling the ball and hope to force him into making mistakes. KU sophomore forward Julian Wright will also draw attention from Matt Lawrence and Marshall Brown.
The crowd has to be into this game for the Tigers to have any chance. College sports offer the best home-court advantage by making the opponent feel like an intruder. I hope the fans at Mizzou Arena will be pumped for this game and show KU they won't have an easy time winning in Columbia. There were too many empty seats during the Nebraska game on Feb. 3 and the building seemed drained of energy I challenge all Missouri fans to rally around their team and be pumped for this interstate match-up.
Saturday will give Missouri a chance to start fresh against an ancient enemy who has caused so much recent hardship. Its time to send the layhawks a message that the Tigers are back.

Pujols becomes American citizen
ST LOUCIS — Albert Parols has won an NL MVP award, a Gold Glove and a World Series. So it was no surprise that the high achiever scored a perfect 100 on his citizenship test.

The St. Louis Cardinals' star officially became a U.S. citizen Wednesday during a ceremony at the Eagleton Courthouse, Puiloi's wife deidere secret arranged to have about two dozen relatives and friends watch U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber sweat in Puiloi.
Chester Mover, the officer in charge of the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Service office in St. Louis, said Thursday that Deidre Puiols served as her husband's tutor. Moyer said Puiols, 27, spent about a year preparing for the citizenship exam. That preparation showed on the exam.
"He just had a grin from ear to ear." Moyer said. "He was thrilled to become a citizen."
"He even answered a bunch of additional questions and gave us more answers than we asked." Moyer said. "He clenched his fist and said, 'I got 100 percent'."
St. Louis Cardinals' Albert Pujols jokes with New York Mets' Jose Reyes during batting practice before Game 5 of the National League Championship Series in St. Louis. The St. Louis Cardinals star became a U.S. citizen Wednesday, during a ceremony at the Eagleton Courthouse in St. Louis.
Puils' agent and officials with his foundation, the Puils Family Foundation, did not return phone calls seeking comment.
The ceremony was open to the
public, but there was no publicity about Pujols' participation. He was the only person sworn in on Wednesday.
Pujols grew up in the Dominican
Republic and moved with his father to the Kansas City area when he was 16, graduating from Fort Osage High School in Independence, Mo., in 1998.
Broncos still shocked by death
>> NFL
BY GREG BEACHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
KAPOLEI, Hawaii — Champ Bailey and John Lynch had the same idea for their latest trip to the Pro Bowl. They both wanted to wear No. 27 in honor of slain Broncos teammate Darrent Williams.
Williams died from a gunshot wound to the neck on New Year's Eve when his stretch limousine was repeatedly shot while driving away from a Denver nightclub. He was 24.
Bailey and Lynch will wear their regular uniform numbers in Saturday's game after the NFL decided to put No. 27 decals on the back of every player's helmet in tribute to the Broncos' rising young cornerback. The three Broncs had discussed someday coming to the Pro Bowl together, and Lynch thought Williams had a chance to develop into a star.
Lynch, an eight-time Pro Bowl selection in 14 NFL seasons, always enjoys the working vacation in Hawaii with his wife and children, who posed with him for photos during the AFC's picture day Thursday.
"I think about it every day, sometimes every hour," said Bailey, a baile.
"There's no question it's made a big impact on me and my teammates," Lynch said. "He was a guy who I really respected as a teammate and a person. It still hasn't sunk in. I guess. It's hard to believe what happened."
seven time Pro Bowl selection. "We still don't know what happened, who did it. It's just tough to think how quick it can all happen."
Most of the Broncos have been in varying degrees of shock since that day, when an overtime loss to the San Francisco 49ers kept them out of the playoffs. Hours later, Williams' murder rendered such concerns trivial — and not even another trip to the Pro Bowl could stop his teammates from thinking about their fellow defensive back.
Police still aren't sure exactly what happened in the moments after Williams, Broncos receiver Javon Walker and others left a party thrown by Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. Two other people were wounded in the stretch Hummer Limousine in which Williams was killed.
But Williams also wasn't far from Lynch's mind. The veteran safety praised Williams' growing maturity while lamenting the senselessness of his death.
Police said there was an altercation at the club before Williams' death, but details remain sketchy despite the Broncos' offer of a $100,000 reward for information. Willie Clark, described by police as a person of interest who might be able to help catch the killer, is in prison after being convicted of an unrelated parole violation last month.
Jayhawks need archnemesis Columnist taunts Coach Anderson to make a remark
>> BORDER SHOWDOWN
Editor's Note: Each year before the Kansas-Missouri basketball game in Columbia, Mo., The Kansan exchanges a column with Missouri's student newspaper The Maneater. The following is Sports Editor Ryan Schneider's column as it appears in today's Maneater.
As a Kansas student, I'm supposed to hate your Missouri Tigers just as I'm supposed to attend every class and brush my teeth twice a day. It comes with the territory of being a jawhawk.
Train Anderson,
I can't believe what I'm about
to say.
DANIEL DENNIS
From Norm Stewart to Jason Sutherland, or my personal favorite, Ricky Clemons; there was always someone Kansas fans loved to hate. Jayhawks fans used to despise Kareem Rush until he was seen last season sporting crimson and blue in support of his brother
Yet on the eve on the second Border War game of the season, I've come to a realization — this rivalry has lost its sex appeal.
In the past, it was so easy to dislike Missouri.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM
But now, this rivalry feels different.
FF
Who ruined this once spirited rivalry?
Brandon.
You. That's right, it's you Mike.
While it's certainly good news for the future of your program, it's bad news for this rivalry.
Your time right is your time.
You're everything Kansas fans don't want in their rival's coach.
You're level-headed, respectable and a proven winner.
Quin Snyder, your predecessor, was so easy to dislike. Whether it was his ridiculously greasy hair cut, constant sideline temper tantrums or embarrassing home losses, Quin always found a way to make Kansans laugh.
lust make one little comment Mike. That's all it take to add some spice to this snooze test rivalry.
But that's not you at all. In fact, I've been impressed with just how respectable Missouri basketball has become. Sure the losing this season is tough, but it won't last long. Your "40 Minutes of Hell" system can win at Missouri, it's just a matter of time.
Don't ask Gary Pinkel to do it, he'll likely spend four years screwing up a good thing. Ask Brad Smith about that one, he's got a great story to tell. Bill Self has had more than enough time to make one disparaging comment about the Tigers and he still refuses to
Just do something to make Kansas fans dislike this new, clean cut Tiger program.
So it's up to you, Mike. Restore the hatred. Revive this slipping rivalry.
Refuse to spend a dime here in the Sunflower State.
Call Kansas the "evil empire"
Describe Allen Fieldhouse as a
"dump."
Signed.
Besides, it's only fitting that you do it, since Missouri started this whole border war in the first place.

GAME DAY
THE UNIVERSITY OF HAIRY KANSAN
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9, 2007
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2007
KU
TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
It's a grudge match for the Tigers, who would like to give their fans something to cheer about during a rebuilding year. The Jayhawks understand that every game has become a must-win if they still have hopes of winning the Big 12 title. And of course, it's never too early to start talking about seeding in March.
STAR WATCH
Collins
Freshman guard Sherron Collins seems to get better every game. When the Jayhawks played Missouri at Alen Fieldhouse,
Collins excelled down the stretch, hitting clutch baskets and finishing with 23 points. Coach Bill Self has said that he'd like to see Collins play for 26-28 minutes every night, and appears to be working to make that happen — Collins scored 11 points in 28 minutes on Wednesday.
QUESTION MARK
WHICH TEAM HAS IMPROVED MORE?
The 80-77 thriller from January was between two teams that were on equal footing that night. Kansas has improved since then, but so has Missouri.
3 REASONS KU WINS
ONE — Brandon Rush is emerging as the go-to guy. It may be too early to say this, but Rush has shown an increased willingness to take the team on his back recently, which will help Kansas better form an identity.
TWO — Foul trouble won't be an issue. With four legitimate big men — Wright, Kaun, Arthur and Jackson — Self doesn't need to fear losing one of them to foul trouble.
THREE — Thirty-two-ish minutes of hell. You've got to respect what coach Mike Anderson is doing at Missouri, but he doesn't have the players to execute his plan just yet.
CROSSING THE BORDER
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
Jayhawks head to Missouri looking for season sweep
KANSAS VS.MISSOURI 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Mizzou Arena, ABC
Kansas 20-4,7-2 Big 12
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense executed flawlessly on Saturday, creating shots by making several passes and throwing good screens for teammates to run off of. The Jayhawks scored 97 points, as coach Bill Self told guard Jeremy Case to run out the clock in the game's final seconds.
Additionally, two players appear to have stepped up as the "go-to guys" on this year's team. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush and freshman guard Sherron Collins get the ball in pressure situations, and often deliver a big shot for the Jayhawks. Having that kind of identity will help the team out in close game.
KU KU KU
DEFENSE
Missouri 14-8,3-6
The Jayhawks out-rebounded the Wildcats 46-24, a huge margin in a conference game. Self said afterward that the Jayhawks are not 22 rebounds better than the Wildcats, but rather they just had a productive night in the paint.
They'll look to keep that momentum rolling against Missouri. The game is likely to have fewer possessions and a slower pace, so getting rebounds and second-chances will be critical to success.
KU
KU
KU
MOMENTUM
OFFENSE
It's tough to keep momentum rolling when you step into an opposing arena, and even more so when the team is your rival. Still, Kansas has a lot of reasons to be confident, and Missouri is running the same style of play that they brought to Allen Fieldhouse in January, so preparation won't be difficult.
32
At times, the Tigers' offense can be one of the best in the conference. When Stefhon Hannah is penetrating and Matt Lawrence is on fire from the outside, Missouri is good enough to be an NCAA Tournament team. The problem is that neither of those two players has been consistent since conference play started. In a home a loss to Nebraska last Saturday, Lawrence and Hannah combined for two field goals. The next game, Missouri crushed Iowa State in Ames, and Hannah and Lawrence led the team in scoring. Both players did well against Kansas the first time this season and should do so again.
KU KU KU
🔑 🔑
DEFENSE
Everybody knows about Mike Anderson's 40 Minutes of Hell defense and the turnovers it can lead to. But against Kansas a month ago, Missouri only pressed for the first few minutes. The Jayhawks were able to beat them in the running game, and the Tigers switched to a half-court zone defense for part of the game. On paper, Kansas has a better inside game, but Missouri won the rebounding battle 43-42 in the first game. The Tigers will probably make defending the painn emphasis Saturday, especially after the Jayhawks dominated the Wildcats inside Wednesday.
MOMENTUM
32
This is the only game that matters. Missouri fans can act like it's not a big deal, but they've had this game circled all year long. This attitude spreads to the players, adding extra importance to this game. The Tigers have been plagued by inconsistency since January, but would right the season in the eyes of fans and maybe even the players. Placing too much value on this game in the past has crippled Mizou against teams not named Kansas. Why can't they play with the same fire against everyone else? But this game is against the Jayhawks, and the Tigers will be ready to compete. Expect a close one.

MU
TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
A real rivalry. Kansas and Missouri games have hotly contested lately, but the Jayhawks usually come out on top. The series hasn't been nearly as lopsided as the one with Kansas State, but Missouri hasn't won many. First year coach Mike Anderson got his team to play well in Allen Fieldhouse, but he needs to win Saturday to prove he can coach better in this rivalry than Quin Snyder.
STAR WATCH
J. T. Tiller, Tiller had one of his best games of the season against Kansas, scoring 11 points. The freshman
Tiller
Tiller
only averages 4.5 points per game, but unheralded players tend to have good games against Kansas — Jermaine Maybank, anyone?
QUESTION MARK
The first time out, the Tigers didn't have a chance of out-running the Jayhawks. Sherron Collins, Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers raced down the court and scored five seconds into the shot clock. Missouri can slow it down, but it needs to stop Kansas' transition offense to be successful.
CAN MISSOURI'S FULL COURT PRESSURE BE EFFECTIVE?
TWO — Team meeting. After the bad loss against Nebraska last week, Missouri's players held a meeting and discussed their season. It gave them enough motivation to win against Iowa State and could do the same Saturday.
3 REASONS MUWNS
ONE — They care more. It's that simple. Every time the Tigers play the Jayhawks, it's as big as Ali vs. Frazier to the players. Kansas gets pumped up for the rivalry but not like Missouri does.
t
THREE — Spotlights. Mizzou Arena has more light fixtures than an NBA arena. Perhaps the brightness will blind the Kansas players and render them helpless.

Hannah
MIZZOU
These former high school rivals both played well in the January game. Collins had a breakout game, scoring most of his season-high 23 points down the stretch. He said after that game that his rivalry with Hannah gave him extra energy before the game started. Hannah was the main reason Missouri kept it close. He scored 15 points and made key shots whenever Kansas started to pull away. Collins has improved every game since the Missouri game and is now Kansas' go-to guy. He should have no problem shredding Hannah and the Tiger defense again.

Event raises money for justice in Americas
BY TYLER HARBERT
Six children lined up to take a swing at a glittery pink, star-shaped pinata Saturday night at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building.
One child repeatedly stomped towards the inviting paper mache to pummel it with his tiny fists. Some children cut in line to smack the light, wooden stick against a crisp, candy-containing cardboard device.
"I like candies," 2-year-old Carmen Braden said. Carmen's mother Jessica Braden, Lawrence resident, escorted her daughter to A Celebration of Resistance, which was a joint community fundraiser for justice in the Americas.
Though the event featured a variety of lighter activities like music, dancing, a prize raffle and food, it had some heavier undertones.
The event was co-sponsored by 14 organizations including the ECM, a handful of Kansas City assemblies, and university groups including the Hispanic
American Leadership Organization, Latin American Solidarity, the Center of Latin American Studies, Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority and the Migrant Worker Solidarity.
All of the proceeds from the event benefited the Latino Community Coalition, Lawrence Fair Food and Kansas Mutual Aid.
"There are lots of people in Lawrence organizing around the same issues and we want to connect better," said Cory Fischer Hoffman, graduate teaching assistant in Latin American Studies.
Fischer-Hoffman also represents Lawrence Fair Food, which supports the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a national organization that fights for the rights of farm workers.
Adam Benter, Langford sophomore, stood behind a long table during the event and sold goods crafted in Chiapas, Mexico, which ranged from $5 cloth Zapatista dolls to $10 black Zapatista masks that resembled ski masks.

>> BOARDWALK APARTMENTS FIRE
Rose trial continues
Fire-setting history drew attention to suspect
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
Inconsistences in his story and a history with fire were what turned Jason Allen Rose from just another Boardwalk survivor to a person of interest, and ultimately, to a suspect.
Detective Troy Squire testified in Rose's murder trial Friday morning that small differences in Rose's account from others' initially caught his attention. He said that while most of the people he interviewed gave general information as to where they thought the fire started, Rose pointed out a specific apartment — 524.
"It seemed like distancing," Squire said. "That would be the furthest away from his apartment, and that, to me, caught attention."
When Squire first talked to Rose, the October 2005 fire had not yet been ruled as arson, and Rose was not a suspect, Squire said.
Because Rose's statements struck investigators as odd, the 20-year-old Rose was taken to the scene of the Boardwalk Apartments fire three days afterward to show investigators what he had seen. It was on that trip that Squire received an informative phone call from Social Rehabilitation Services.
After the fire, Rose had been living in The Villages, a housing project for at risk children. He had lived there previously, so Squire had called to check on Rose's past for anything that might provide a clue in the fire. When the SRS officer called Squire back and was asked if there was anything in Rose's records, she "immediately said," Yes, Jason has a history of starting fires", Squire said.
With that information and more unusual knowledge that Rose provided at the scene, Squire and his

Election pushes to expand busing
A special election for a new transportation system will take place on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
Students will be asked to vote on two referendums to increase student fees for transportation. The first referendum asks student to vote whether or not KU on Wheels should purchase its own buses. The second referendum asks for a fare free system for riders.
"This gives students the opportunity to decide the future of the transportation system at the University," Mel Horen, student body vice president, said.
Student Senate sent the bill to referendum for students to vote in a special election.

Voting yes to either question on the ballot would raise student fees.
Cayla Witty, elections commissioner, said a special election had not been held in the last eight years, if ever, at the University.
"We decided to have the special election so that if it is passed by
If passed, improvements would include ADA-accessible buses with top exhaust, which is better for the environment, and lift equipment, making them more accessible to the disabled, according to the bill.
Passing the first referendum on purchasing new buses would increase student fees $20 next year, Mortinger said.
If the referendum passes, KU on Wheels would get 30 more modern, but used, buses by August. Then it would purchase three brand new buses a year for the next 10 years. Mortinger said.

Memorial honors student's caring acts
BY KATY BLAIR
Family and friends gathered Sunday evening at Woodruff Auditorium to commemorate the life of Anthony Brown, a 2005 KU graduate who died Jan. 26 while under anesthesia for wisdom teeth removal.
Fraternity brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha joined the family in celebrating his life.
"Any time I needed anything, be it words of encouragement, be it just a smile, Anthony was that," said Mark Dupree, 2004 graduate and member of the fraternity.

Spotlight Latin American Organizations Solidarity
BY MEGAN HIRT
The region of Latin America brings together its indigenous and colonial influences to form a rich patchwork of culture. Latin American Solidarity is an organization that celebrates this wealth of different cultures while also raising awareness of issues facing the region, such as emigration, fair trade and militarization.
"There's so much to Latin America," said Spike Evans, Teopaka senior and LAS president. "It's untending culture and diversity."
"The United States has been so influential in Latin America," Evans said. "It's really important for us as a political and economic power to know more about who we're interacting with."
LAS began in 1978 with a focus on the U.S. involvement in Chile. The group adopted the term "solidarity" to refer to members' unified commitment to fighting injustice in Latin America. Evans said the group currently has about 15 regular members and extends its membership beyond the campus community.
"Lawrence has a lot of people who like to be involved in these social issues, and that's what has kept us around," she said.
The organization held its annual Latin American Food Festival in November, which raised money toward a college scholarship for a local Latino student through Lawrence's Latino Community Coalition.
LAS hosts monthly rice and bean
dinners at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building. The gatherings also feature speakers and films addressing current Latin American social issues. The next rice and bean dinner will be at 6 p.m. on Feb.19.
Continuing its cuisine trend, LAS will host a Haitian Awareness Dinner on Feb. 27. The event will raise money for the construction of an all-girls orphanage in Hinche, Haiti.
"Right now there no place for the girls to stay", Evans said, as Haitian law forbids males and females to live together in public housing.
In March, LAS will welcome Onesim Hidalgo, a political activist from Chipapas, Mexico. Hidalgo will discuss the effects of the North American Free Trade Agreement on
Chiapas and other areas of southern Mexico.
"Latin America is our neighbor," Evans said. "We can do a lot there."
Evans said all LAS events were free and she encouraged students to become involved in fighting for justice south of the border, regardless of their field of study.
Latin American Solidarity meets every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. near the STA counter on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. More information on upcoming events is available online at http://groups.ku.edu/~las.

The Asian American Student Union presents Ribbon Dance, a Chinese folk dance from the Hong Kong area, at Taste of Asia at the Kansas Union Ballroom Saturday evening. Six performers with folk costumes danced in a circle with colorful ribbons.
Students sample cultures
BY KATY BLAIR
Elaborate lion costumes, dancing, musical performances and a fashion show were just some of the events at Saturday night's Taste of Asia, the culmination of Asia Week at the University.
Last week marked the 15th-annual celebration for Asia Week, which recognized and honored Asian cultures.
"Since were in the Midwest and you don't find that many Asian-American students, we think it's important to work together and spread awareness," said Grant Huang, St. Louis junior and president of the Asian American Student Union.
Last week, students in AASU sponsored events such as origami.
karaoke and the lion dance, a New Year's tradition of dancers carrying a Chinese lion costume while moving in synchronized steps to drum beats.
The Iion dance kicked off Taste of Asia, held in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Two dancers entered the room under a brightly colored lion, teasing the crowd by winking the eves and

Son said the week went well, but could have been better if they had more time to prepare. Asia Week is usually held in late March, but was moved to early February because of
Saturday evening.
Dancing troupes from the Kansas City area performed several traditional Asian dances. Huang said the AASU asked many local Asian-oriented performance groups to participate and was fortunate that many of the dancers on these troupes were also University students, making it easier to find acts for the show.
Susan Noh, Iola junior and AASU external vice president, said that although they were usually more prepared, the week was a success overall.

A sense of humor is a trait of both Kirkendoll and Fukushima Fukushima studies flute under David Fedele, assistant professor of flute.
"Mary has an infectious laugh and a great sense of humor," Fedele said. "I consider her not just as my student, but as a friend and colleague. I am very proud of her."
Having played in the concert several times himself, Fedele first suggested that Fukushima and Kirkendoll audition for the Trinity Concert Series in New York. Performances are held at the Trinity Church at Broadway and Wall Street and in St. Paul's Cathedral.

This is DuoSolo's second performance in New York. The first was at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall as
winners of Artist International Competition.
"I shared my interest in new music with Mary and introduced some new techniques to her," Fedele said. "Since then, she and Mike Kirkendoll have commissioned their own new works and have excelled incredibly with contemporary techniques."
The concert is comprised of only music by living composers. DuoSolo will perform an original piece by Forrest Pierce, KU assistant professor of music composition. "The Ruin of the Cypress" This is the first time Pierce's composition will be performed.

SCIENCE
Darwin Day to include film
Alumnus's documentary to shed light on evolution-intelligent design debate
BY DANAE DESHAZER
A circus like atmosphere has characterized the debate of intelligent design versus evolution throughout the ages, Randy Olson, KU alumnus and evolutionary ecologist turned filmmaker, said. Scientists even have brought stuffed monkeys to present their cases.
Olson said he had enough of scientists clowning around and decided to put the controversy into a medium that would translate to a mass audience. He added a spice of humor too.
Olson centered his documentary, "Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus", around the idea that scientists might end up extinct, like the dodo bird. The dodo bird did not adapt to its surroundings of human interaction, causing the bird to die out. Similarly, scientists aren't communicating effectively with the media, which is evolving quickly, Olson said. The message of evolution is getting lost.
"It's easy to see that a lot of scientists and researchers are stupid with their behavior, like a bunch of dodos, so that seemed to be an appropriate mascot for the issue," Olson said.
The Lawrence premiere of Olson's documentary will be part of the Natural History Museum's Darwin Day at 7:45 tonight at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Tickets to the film are $2 and available at the Natural History Museum gift shop.
Darwin Day is a worldwide celebration of Charles Darwin's 198th birthday. This year, the University is participating in Darwin Day with science centers and other universities for the first time. Events will occur throughout the day, including the documentary premiere and exclusive evolution exhibits displaying the local work of researchers.
The over-arching theme is "We've come a long way since Darwin."
"We've got new tools and 150 years of work since the Origin of Species" was published, Robert Hagen, Kansas Biological Survey research associate, said. "This has allowed us to look at the questions in new ways and with new insights."
There will also be a costume contest that will be judged by Olson's mother in Denver through a telecast Participants can dress as Darwin, a dodo or Muffy Moose, who is the character based on Olson's mother.
Muffy Moose, a central part of the film, lives in Shawnee and is a neighbor to John Calvert, a retired attorney and strong advocate for the intelligent design movement, Olson, who has a background in biology, interviewed Calvert in the film to present a debate between evolution and intelligent design.
Steve Case, Center for Science Education assistant director, also appears in the documentary. In the film, Case talks about how empowering it is for schoolchildren to understand the natural world.
"I was tired of beating my head on the wall. You have these pseudoscientific debates all the time, and they go on and on and they never get anywhere." Case said. "Id like to think knowledge is progressive."
The controversy extends into the classroom in states such as Kansas and Pennsylvania where court cases have debated whether evolution and intelligent design should be taught in the classroom.
Case said he participated in the film because it was a new approach to an age-old issue.
Case said people are naming evolution "Darwin's theory" in order to discredit its scientific validity. If evolution is a theory, opponents argue intelligent design should also be taught as a theory.
"Most people will choose their religion over evolution," Case said. "It doesn't have to be a choice. Science explores the natural world, and religion explores a spiritual world. They're separate areas of

knowledge that don't have to conflict"
"I hope that every high school kid in America watches it," Olson said. "It's a really fun film for all ages and presents a very complex issue in a fun way."
"Dodos" was first shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2006. The documentary will premiere in more than 50 locations on Darwin Day and will be released on DVD this summer.

"The award is for people who, in their careers, live up to the ideals of William Allen White," Wallace said. "Nobody could be like him."
The citation is named after William Allen White, author, advisor to President Theodore Roosevelt and publisher of The Emporia Gazette, she said.

Clarkson, a 1956 KU graduate and veteran photo journalist, will receive the 2007 William Allen White Foundations' National Citation on Friday at a public ceremony in the Woodruff Auditorium. The award is presented by the School of Journalism.
Rich Clarkson's medium isn't always considered a gracious art form, but in his mind, photography is a combination of an oil painting and fleeting moments.
Mary Wallace, assistant to the dean of journalism, said the award went to someone with a national reputation in journalism.

"its every bit as much of a fine art," he said. "And harder to do."
Clarkson will be the 58th recipient of the citation, which has been awarded in past years to journal
"A photographer is witnessing amazing things all the time," he said. "There's a point where you get attached to your story."
Clarkson photographed eight Olympics, including Munich in 1972, and managed 1,400 photographers during the 1996 Olympic games.
His company, Rich Clarkson and Associates, which he founded 20 years ago, is involved in several projects, including a 192-page photographic book honoring soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery. They are also working on a project about Red Rocks, an outdoor concert venue that has played host to the Beatles and the Grateful Dead.
After graduation. Clarkson served as director of photography for the Topeka Capital Journal. Clarkson also photographed the trial on which Truman Capote based his book "In Cold Blood." He has also been the director of photography for National Geographic magazine.

Despite the need to return to Lawrence, Brown stayed at the hospital with Clayton.
"I could tell his life was marked by purpose," Bauer said. Bauer said she was immediately impressed by Brown on their first meeting, when Brown invited her to lunch to discuss his hopes for the fraternity.
"He drove to Kansas City and took me to the hospital, and he stayed there with me," Clayton said.
Laura Bauer, program director for fraternity and sorority life, expressed her appreciation and respect for Brown as a studious individual.
The Inspirational Gospel Voices performed two songs during the memorial.
After several reflections on his caring and enthusiastic personal
ity from friends and family members, the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity presented Brown's family with a scrapbook, filled with pictures of Brown's time at the University, and a commemorative Alpha Phi Alpha paddle signed by fraternity members.
After reading a letter from Chancellor Robert Hemenway about Brown's contribution to the University, Clayton Holmes, Wichita junior and fraternity member, summed up his friendship with Brown very simply.
"He was a very caring person and will be missed," Holmes said.

Students should be given seats for tickets
The old adage, "Don't make promises you can't keep" needs to be stitched on a pillow and sent to Allen Fieldhouse. As reported in Monday's University Daily Kansan, more than 100 students with tickets were left out in the cold, literally. Needless to say there were more than 100 pissed off people after the game Saturday. However, the initial anger of those seat-deprived students was the University's fault.
Granted there was confusion and game days, particularly this one, are chaotic. Regardless of excuses on either side simply put; this was unprofessional. The ticket system change, which incited many, was promised to be a better and more organized ticketing and seating system. Based on reports from locked out students and ushers, organization was lacking. Every aspect of the University prides itself on professionalism and stature. Mass confusion and professionalism are polar opposites.

An apology and refunds are a start. However, ensuring that this doesn't happen again is the only acceptable answer. The Jayhawk basketball team represents the University. Clearly, students make up the bulk of this campus. If they're promised a seat, because that's what a ticket represents (the holding of one seat), they should get it. Otherwise everyone should be on the street selling null-and-void tickets to the game.
I wish there was a tree house class at KU, because I would be all over that shit. I'd be the TAI I mean, "all you that stuff" Okay.
For as much time and commitment that students put into getting tickets to watch their team play, this is unacceptable. When a person purchases something, obviously they expect to receive due compensation. Students follow the campout rules and ticket procedures. Surely then those in charge of ticket distribution should be held to some standards. Quid pro quo. That's just bad business

Art of education: more creativity needed
If only class were a little more like Sesame Street, more butts would be in the seats of 120 Budig.
Since preschool, our curricula have steadily decreased in developing the imagination. Consequently, the excitement about school and the passion for learning children often display is lost.
The current system weans children off their markers and crayons in favor of word processors and blue books. Teachers pack knowledge into their students' heads, hoping they'll retain a fraction of it and use it in the world. Every student has asked, "When am I ever going to need this?"
Instead of making education about packing knowledge into students' heads, why not make it about enticing them to explore their world?
It's like the old saying, "if you give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but teach him to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime." Giving a mind knowledge is far less effective than teaching a mind to learn.
Education only works when students can make it their own.

the arts in avail schools can spark that interest. Giving students the opportunity to work with, create, and explore art primes their brains to think critically.
Art has a unique power to engage the mind. It can reach students who are otherwise uninterested in school by offering curiosity as a catalyst in all academic realms. It's an all-in-one mental workout that makes the engineers of the Bowflex Home Gym jealous.

Experiencing the passion of creating something new can stimulate one's intelligence in ways a textbook can't. Out of creativity, passion is born.

Many people arrive at an understanding of calculus, the Krebs cycle and the sociopolitical consequences of WWII through a textbook, but teaching the arts can reach disenchanted students who wouldn't otherwise open those textbooks. It opens them to a world they are comfortable to freely explore, manipulate and understand. It has the power to continually expand the mind — and in an age where good teachers are a scarcity commodity — to do it without direct instruction. If we continue to develop students' imaginations like Sesame Street has done for over 4,000 episodes, maybe our 1,000-person lecture halls will actually see 1,000 students wandering in.

Stuewe: Let's talk about sexual violence
Here's a story to get all the feminists riled up. A college student in Tampa, Fla., went to police after being raped. She was then nailed on a 2003 warrant for failure to pay a fine and refused her second dose of the morning-after contraceptive. The outrage of this story is clear, not only was this 21-year-old denied proper medical treatment she was also denied proper judicial treatment.
I feel another level of outrage and sadness for this woman, which is that this incident won't lead to better things. Florida lawmakers will write specific laws designed not to keep women safe, but to keep themselves out of the national media. This woman's lawyers will win her a lot of money and everyone will move on pretending justice has been served. It's too bad that this national moment will most likely pass without an honest discussion about rape and sexual assault.

just like the Duke lacrosse rape allegations. We will hear stories about the trial, the defendant's sexual history, the bad emailing habits of college boys and how to get a stripper in Durham.

The more we talk and the more we act,the better the situation becomes for victims. This time it must be different.
It is a deeply important conversation to have. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, which is the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization, one in six American women and one in 33 men are victims of sexual
assault in their lifetime.
Let's make this time different. As a nation we must use the attention given to this case to create a national discussion about sexual violence and assault. A discussion that should include TV programs about what we can do as a society to stop sexual violence as well as how we can appropriately and compassion-
ately deal with victims.
We should have more panels, poetry readings and educational rallies about why this violence happens and how victims can overcome the pain. Finally, a productive discussion about rape and sexual violence would include every last
How do we do that? Get involved with the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center on campus,www.etwr.cku.edu, or volunteer at the Women's Transitional Care Services (785-865-3956).
These are things brave people all over the country are doing already; and it is time we supported them fully.
Most importantly, talk to your friends about sexual assault and violence. Tell them to speak up. Even though this college student in Florida was punished for doing just that, silence is not the solution. The more we talk and the more we act, the better the situation becomes for victims. This time it must be different.

Valentine's Day GUIDE
Play by the rules
BY RICHELLE BUSER
College students spend hours preparing for dates, but a few small mistakes could hamper the experience. However, there are easy ways to avoid common dating errors and ensure the night is filled with both fun and flirting.
Jeff King, licensed marriage and family therapist, said that clear cut rules don't exist, so couples should evaluate what works for them. Unfortunately, one or both people often move too quickly when dating, which can lead to angst on both parts.
"Too often, people dive into a romantic relationship and get involved in activities that carry with them high emotional stakes without examining what they are saving to themselves and to their partner with these behaviors." King said. By moving at a steady pace, daters can feel comfortable with the situation and its progression.
Before fixating on an evening of romance, one person's admiration for another must be revealed. In our society, the tradition of a man asking a woman on a date used to be a common custom because
advised the ladies to plan on paying if they ask a guay out.
Overall, it is important for each person to voice his or her feelings. No one is a mind reader, and a relationship can only develop if both people are aware of the others' intentions and feelings.
First impressions on a date can determine if the romance has a chance of success. Ingram suggested guys do a little something extra, such as bring "flowers, gifts, or candy ... she will brag on him for a week to her friends." Avoiding certain topics will also increase the likelihood of a second date.
"Steer clear from the topic of sex, your last relationship and any problems," Ingram said.
While trying to impress someone on a date is completely normal, it is important to maintain a sense of self.
"We are often willing to sacrifice core characteristics of ourselves in order to keep the relationship going, because we need their assurances and need them to like us." King said. "We believe we cannot afford to offend them by being ourselves and
being
authentic."
Sometimes situations arise that can tear relationships, both friendly and romantic, into shreds, King said. If you are dating multiple people, make your intentions known and be prepared to confront the issue, he said.
Dating a friend's ex can also lead to drama, King said. Contfronting that friend and making an effort to communicate can help resolve any tension. A friend won't always give a blessing in this situation. Beware that going against that person's wishes may cause the loss of the friendship all together.
Both King and Ingram said the golden rule applied to dating by asking yourself what you would do if the tables were turned. If the answer is unacceptable, it's time to reevaluate. The world of dating has highs and lows, but by avoiding some common mistakes and being considerate of one another couples are sure to have a positive experience.

Relaxed approach key to holiday success

"After rehearsal, I will probably go over to her place, hang out and watch 'Prison Break.'" Dungan said.
The stores have been ready for Valentine's Day since the day after Christmas. However, people in relationships may not be as prepared for this stressful holiday.
The skeptics like to say it's an over-commercialized holiday created by the greeting card industry. The hopeless romantics of the world, however, proclaim Feb. 14 as one of their favorite days of the year. When a relationship consists of two people with differing opinions of the holiday, things can get tricky.
The two have already discussed that, because the relationship was fairly new, they were going to keep the holiday low-key to avoid any unnecessary tension. However, Carroll said she was still excited for the holiday.
"The tension and expectations really ruin Valentine's Day." said Chris Crandall, professor of psychology.

KANSAS 92 MISSOURI 74
BORDER SMACKDOWN
Dominant scorers emerge for Kansas
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri defense tried to rattle Sherron Collins, but Bill Self got to him first.
During practice last week, the coach had Collins handle the ball against a nine-man defense — without turning it over. It made for a frustrating week, but paid off on Saturday.
"When you have just five people out there, it's a lot easier to get the ball up," the freshman guard said.
Collins handled Missouri's press like a seasoned pro, and teammates Julian Wright and Brandon Rush provided the offensive fireworks as the Jayhawks romped the Tigers 92-74.
Wright got top billing Saturday. The sophomore forward finished with a career high 33 points, a number that doesn't include his contributions in the areas of rebounding and passing.
During the past week, those three have emerged from the pack as the go-to players for Kansas.
"The game was in slow motion for him today," Self said. "The biggest reason he played great was because he was great on the glass. He was a factor around the basket."
Before the game, Wright's teammates said they could see a difference in his attitude. He calls it "beast mode" preparing to wage an aggressive battle inside the paint.

It looks like Kansas is finally done with its inconsistent play
While its tough to read too much into two blowout victories against teams going through coaching changes, one story line has emerged.
When the so-called college basketball experts handicapped the Jayhawks chances of making a run to Atlanta for the Final Four, inconsistency was the major reason they expected Kansas to fail.
For most of the season, they've been right.
On any given night, it was impossible to predict which team would show up. The team that battled with No. 1 Florida in Las Vegas looked nearly unbeatable. The team that played against Oral Roberts and DePaul didn't deserve to be ranked.
Part of the problem was the team had no true go-to guy. One game it was Rush, the next night it

Kansas, Mosley stun Texas
BY CASE KEEFER
When coach Bonnie Henrickson drew up the play the jayhawks would run on their final possession Saturday against Texas, senior guard Shaquina Mosley couldn't believe it wasn't to her.
"She looked at me like 'I'm not even an option?'." Hendrickson said. "We had a shot for Danielle but I told Shaq that they mess up on a switch, show your hands for the ball."
That's exactly what happened. A mental lapse by Texas left Kansas' best offensive weapon wide open under the basket. Mosley caught the ball with 4 seconds and beat the buzzer to stun the Longhorns, 50-49, at the Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. It was her second-consecutive game-winning shot.
Henrickson was hesitant to give all the praise to Moseley, though. She
didn't want to neglect the player who threw the inbounds pass to Mosley, sophomore guard Ivana Catic.
Catic didn't played the entire game until Henrickson subbed her in to make the most important pass of Kansas' season. It waspi a mistake.
"I'm not sure whose eyes were bigger, Catic's or Shaq's," Henrickson said.
The story of the season has been very different for each of the guards. Mosley has emerged as the star of the team by averaging 13 points and five rebounds in Big 12 Conference play. After starting at the beginning of the season, Catic has played a diminished role and has seen limited minutes as the season progresses. None of it seemed to matter as Kansas celebrated its second Big 12 victory in a row.
It wasn't only the lajhawk offense that rose to the occasion; the defense
At halftime, Kansas was down 29-22. Mosley and McIntosh, the jayhawk's primary providers of offense as of late, were scoreless. McCray and freshman guard Kelly Kohn recorded 19 of the team's 22 points.
also had its best game of the year. Kansas held Texas to 34 percent from the field and 49 points, both well under the team's season average of 65 points per game.
"Now we've got Kohn and McCray going and the other aren't doing
The most impressive teat, however, was the containment of Longhorn forward Tiffany Jackson, a potential All-American and the type of player Kansas has let dominate it this season. But on Saturday, junior guard Taylor McIntosh and freshman forward Danielle McCray held Jackson to 14 points on 40 percent shooting, below her season average.
anything," Henrickson said. "I knew if we just got all tour going wed be pretty good."
Mosley and McIntosh did wake up in the second half. The two combined for 13 points, Kelly Kohn had a team-high 19 points and McCray added a double-double with 19 points and ten rebounds.
Henrickson said she was elated with the way her young team responded and thought it would enable them to make the most of their three upcoming home games.
"That's how we need to win because that's how we will grow." Henrickson said. "We don't need it to be easy; we need it to be tough."

Kansas hits high marks across nation
》 TRACK AND FIELD
BY TAYLOR BERN
The Kansas track and field team traveled to three different meets last weekend, and the extra mileage appeared to payoff. Two layhawks improved their provisional marks for the NCAA Championships, and two others met provisional requirements in a race they ran for the first time this season.
On the field, juniors Kate Sultanova and Crystal Manning improved their marks in the pole vault and triple jump, respectively. On the track, juniors Colby Wissel and Paul Hefferon each met the NCAA provisional requirements in
Sultanova has shined this season, and on Friday in Fayetteville, Ark., she raised her performance another level, clearing a Big 12 leading and career best height of 14.00.50. Manning saved her best jump for last, making a career best leap 43.02.25 on her final attempt to place third and top her previous best of 42.09.75.
the 5,000 meters.
Distance runners Wissel and Hefferon were sent to the Husky Classic in Seattle in search of better competition. The duo responded with a pair of provisional times.
Wissel, who had already provisionally qualified in the 3,000
finished 10th in the 5,000 with a time of 13:54. Heffernon, who said the 5,000 is his best event, finished close behind in 13th at 14:03.50.
The top six finishers in Seattle all met the automatic requirements for the NCAA Championships.
Sophomore Zlata Tarasova, also competing in Arkansas, finished fourth in the weight throw, but the distance of 62-01.25 was enough to break her own school record. Junior Egor Agaronfinished third in the men's weight throw with a toss of 71-7.50. This was the first time this season he has not won the event.
In Ames, Iowa, at the ISU Classic, senior Melissa O'Rourke
finished sixth in the mile run with a time of 4:48.72, just 0.72 seconds away from the provisional requirement. Junior Julius Jiles also ran a season-best time of 8.01 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles.
The Jayhawks have next week off before returning to Ames on Feb. 23 and 24 for the Big 12 Indoor Championships.

MEN'S GOLF Freshman leads Jayhawks to 14th place in Hawaii
The men's golf team finished in a tie for 14th place Friday at the Hawaii-Hilo Invitational to open the spring season.
The Jayhaws highest finisher was freshman Patrick Roth who finished in a tie for 43rd, shooting a three-day total of 210. He shot 71 in the final round Friday.
Seniors Gary Woodland and Tyler Docking finished in a tie for 52nd and 69th, respectively. Sophomore 22ch Pederson finished in a tie for 77th, while
freshman Bobby Knowles finished in a tie for 84th.
"We struggled in the event, but at least we have one tournament under our belt and it was good practice," coach Ross Randall said in a press release. "Patrick Roth played a very nice event for us, but the rest of the guys really struggled. Hopefully we can get back and get some practice in and prepare for our next tournament."
Kansas competes next on Feb. 26 at The All-American in Houston.

Kansas rises early, wins two against SDSU
BY ALISSA BAUER
If defense wins championships dedication has to count for something.
The series finale against South Dakota State University (1-2) began Sunday morning around 4:20 a.m. It was nearly 7 a.m. before Kansas (7-1) took the series two games to one with a 4-1 victory.
After Kansas coach Ritch Price and South Dakota State's coach Reggie Christiansen decided last Wednesday against playing in Lawrence due to excessively cold weather and poor field conditions; Price went to work. Almost two full days passed, but Price found a place to play: The Metrodome in Minneapolis.
"It it was awesome," Price said. "Even though the game times were a little weird, it was a lot of fun. I think our players thought it was worth it."
Because the major-league ballpark was already playing host to
the Hurricane Winter Invitational for Division II and NAIA colleges, the Kansas vs. South Dakota State
series had to be scheduled around the tournament. In fact, game two of Saturday's double header was postponed
Murphy

because of a 7 a.m. time restriction.
This highly bizarre schedule was why the ninth inning of game two was played before the series finale on Sunday morning.
"A lot of our players participate in the NBC tournament in Wichita for college summer teams," Price said. "They play a round-the-clock tournment there so a lot of our players have experience with it. The hardest day was the first day."
The lavhawks left Lawrence
around 2:30 p.m. on Friday and didn't get to Minneapolis until 11:30 p.m. The team headed straight for the Metrodome to warm up and get ready for the 1:30 a.m. start time.
By Sunday, the Jayhawks played as if 4 a.m. was the norm, as they jumped to an early lead in the bottom of the second and never looked back.
Price said earlier this season that if senior outfielder Kyle Murphy could hit just 2.50 this season, he would be the happiest coach in America. As a defensive specialist, Price describes Murphy as one of the few players in the game who can win games with his glove, but provided little to last season's offense.
Price's happiness must be exceeding elation as Murphy leads the team with a .381 batting average. His 5-10 and four runs scored performance against the lackrabbits put Murphy right in the middle of both Jayhawk victories this weekend.
"I couldn't be more happy." Price said. "He had a phenomenal weekend."
The Jackrabbits had as much of a hand in the rest of the Jayhawks' runs as the Jayhawks did.

Four runs doubled what Kansas needed to win. However, sophomore lefty Andy Marks (2-0) pitched an outstanding start allowing just four hits in 6.1 innings of work. Tossing a

shutout into the seventh, he finally caved in in the top of the seventh surrendering a solo shot to senior third baseman Cal Lewis.
Marks struck out eight batters and walked one in his second victory of the season, while junior right-handed pitcher Haraiyi
Garcia (1) picked up his first save.
"He may have pitched the best 4 a.m. game in college baseball his
tory," Price said of Marks.
》 BASEBALL
Jackrabbit starter Caleb Thielbar (0-2) lasted about half as long as Marks, taking the loss for game three. Thielbar allowed three runs off four hits in three innings pitched, but had little help from his defense that collected four errors in the finale.
Murphy and fellow outfielder, junior John Allman, paved the way for the jayhawk bats. Combined, the two racked up more than half of Kansas' hits as Murphy had a pair of hits and Allman finished with three.
The lajawhacks will try once again to open at home this week. The team is set to square off in a three-game series against North Dakota State at Hoglund Ballpark starting Wednesday.

Jayhawks take weekend series
Kansas wins two of three against the South Dakota State Jackrabbits at the Metrodome
BY SHAWN SHROYER
Game one: South Dakota State
6. Kansas 5
Winning pitcher — Kevin
Morsching (1-0); Losing pitcher
— Ryotaro Hayakawa (0-1); Save
— Jacob Koubel (1)
Instead of playing its earliest home opener in the program's history, Kansas headed north to the Minneapolis Metrodome for an early doubleheader Saturday morning. The first pitch of game one was thrown at 1:42 a.m.
Top 1st — Back-to-back hits by South Dakota State gave them an early 1-0 advantage.
Bottom 4th — Junior shortstop Erik Morrison hit a three-run home run to give Kansas a 3-2 lead.
Top 2nd — Nick Adams hit a leadoff home run to extend the lackrabbits' lead to 2-0.
Bottom 5th — After South Dakota State tied the game in the top of the inning, senior center fielder Kyle Murphy tripped and scored on a sacrifice fly by junior right fielder Brock Simpson to put Kansas back up, 4-3.
Bottom 7th — The Jackrabbits tied the game again in the top of the innings, but the layhawks regained the lead, 5-4, on a single by junior designated hitter Joe Servais who scored junior second baseman Ryne Price.
Top 8th - South Dakota State
took the lead for good on a two
run blast by Bake Rogers off Kansas
senior reliever Ryotaro Hayakawa.
Notes
-Murphy was the only Kansas player to reach base in the first three innings. Of Kansas' five hits in the game, three were Murphys'.
Junior left-hander Zach Ashwood started for Kansas, striking out seven and walking only one in 4.2 innings; however, he did allow three earned runs.
-For the game, the first four batters in Kansas' lineup went a combined 0-for 13, compared to South Dakota State's, who went 8-for 19.
Game two: Kansas 3, South Dakota State 2
W — Andrés Esquibel (2-0); L — Christian Larson (0-1); S — Paul Smith (2)
Bottom 1st — Junior left fielder John Allman singled to center field. It would be Kansas' only hit the first three innings.
Top 3rd — Once again, the Jackrabbits jumped out to an early lead. After retiring the first two batters of the inning, Kansas sophomore lefty Nick Czyz hit a batter, walked the next, threw a wild pitch and loaded the bases with another walk. A single by Craig Parry plated South Dakota State's first two runs.
Bottom 7th — Kansas finally got on the board when Morrison scored from first on a double by
sophomore first baseman Justin
Ellrich.
Bottom 8th — After Murphy reached on a throwing error and Simpson reached on a double, Allman sent them home for the tying and go-ahead runs with a single.
The game was suspended after the eighth because the Metrodome had to be cleared out for a college basketball tournament that was being held there.
Top 9th — The game resumed Sunday morning at 3:30 a.m. and the jacabbies attempted another two-out rally, but sophomore closer Paul Smyth would have none of it. With men on first and second, Smyth slammed the door on the game, clinching the victory and his second save of the season.
Notes
— The two runs Czyz allowed in the third were the only runs he surrendered as he struck out seven over five innings in a no-decision effort.
— Junior right-hander Andres Esquibel picked up where Czyz left off, shutting South Dakota State in four innings of relief while striking out six.

At the plate - Before the season, coach Price said he be the happiest coach in America if senior center fielder Kyle Murphy could hit.250 and Murphy has yet to disappoint. He leads the team in hitting with a .381 average after a stellar South Dakota State series. While Kansas' first four hitters combined to hit.182 in the series. Murphy went 5-for-10, adding four runs and two stolen bases.
On the mound — Sophomore reliever Paul Smyth has quickly erased any doubt that he is the go-to guy out of the bullpen. He was nearly flawless in 2.1 innings of work, surrendering no runs, one hit and one walk while striking out three. The Jayhawks might have swept the series if hed entered game one earlier.

Jayhawks drop the ball Slowed by injuries, Kansas falls to Arkansas
BY RUSTIN DODD
The Kansas tennis team suffered a 5-2 loss to Arkansas on Sunday in Lawrence, the teams third defeat in three years to the Razorbacks.
The No. 1 doubles duo of junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath improved their record to 6-1 with a dual-opening 8-4 victory, but the momentum quickly went to Arkansas. The Razorbacks won the next five matches, including a pivotal No. 3 doubles match where junior Lauren Hommell and sophomore Yuliana Svistun watched a 7-5 lead evaporate into a 9-7 loss.
"I think if we would have won the doubles point, we would have had more confidence going into singles," said Hommell, who was playing with Svistun for the first time.
Hommell was able to bounce back and pick up a victory at No.4 singles, giving Kansas one their two points.
Swistun picked up the other point for Kansas with an 8-4 victory at No. 5 singles.
"Lauren's a competitor," said coach Amy Hall-Holt. "She shows a lot of emotion. If she can keep her attitude and emotion up, she's going to do well."
Injuries remained a factor for the team, which continued to play without last year's top singles player, Ksenia Bukina, who was injured in the fall season. Junior Stephanie Smith made her debut after missing the first six duals of the season due to injury. Smith competed at No. 6 singles and fell 8-3.
"They fought and they did what we asked of them." Hall-Holt said "We just have to finish."

That attitude rubbed off on his teammates, a leadership role that Wright said he's begun to embrace.
BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
"I have the ability to really affect the game, either positively or negatively," he said. "I feel that I can take responsibility now and become aggressive."
That aggressive play was made possible by the Kansas guards, who were able to break Missouri's pressure and pass the ball into the paint.
Nobody did it better than Collins, who has seen his playing time increase in recent games. After a slow day for Mario Chalmers and Russell Robinson, Self was asked if he would make Collins a starter. He said he would not.
"I just want to do what's best for our team," Self said. "I feel like I've got a decent handle on the makeup of our team and the chemistry. He could care less whether he's starting or not as long as he's in there the majority of the time."
He added that the team's chemistry has never been better than in recent days. The Javahawks had a walk through practice on Friday night before the game, which the coach called the best practice of the year.

After a sluggish December, Rush has emerged in conference play as

Kansas made no secret of its strategy against the Missouri press. The Jayhawks went inside early and often, resulting in a career-high 33 points for sophomore forward Julian Wright. Missouri's three-point shooters struggled, going 8-for-30, but Kansas coach Bill Self said that could be a touch misleading. "You shouldn't say that just because they missed those were bad shots," he said. The Jayhawks also dominated at the free-throw line, putting in 19 of 24 attempts (not shown).

- Kansas got a visit from SportsCenter anchors Scott Van Pelt and Neil Everett during the game in Lawrence, but Missouri countered with Mike Hall and John Anderson on Saturday. The MU grads wore Bucknell and Bradley T-shirts.
In addition, the fans had their usual repertoire of distasteful and obscene chants and signs. One sign read: "If you cheer for KU, go kill yourself." If that is clever, then I must really be missing something.
> It was a tough shooting night for Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmer, who went a combined 2-of-13. They picked a good night to go cold, and those are two experienced players. They'll snap out of it, just like Brandon Rush and John Wright did when they had similar cold streaks earlier this year.

My favorite, though, was when the official blew his whistle, pointed at coach Mike Anderson and gave the technical foul sign. The fans cheered, thinking the foul was against Kansas, and continued until the public address announcer said what happened.
"I told them, 'Their whole pregame is about Kansas. About winning in the fashion they did in the last two years. That should get you fired up.'" Self said.
> Before the Missouri players were introduced, the videoboard played a compilation of Tiger victories against the Jayhawks in recent years. Self told his players to watch it as a way of getting motivated for the game.
Missouri fans are the dumest in the Big 12, and it's not even close. First off, they boo everything. Sometimes they boo for no reason at all. Anytime a call was made against the Tigers, no matter how fair, they were out in full force. Then at halftime they pelted the referees while they were walking to the locker room with empty bottles, wadded-up paper and chewing tobacco canisters.

NEEDS OFF THE COURT
"MONDAY MADNESS" — ONLY AT JAYHAWK BOOKSTORE
Jayhawks run to victory
BY MARK DENT
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The concept is ob-so simple.
Do something good and you'll be rewarded.
And for Sherron Collins, that reward is running.
"It's always been if we make the other team shoot bad shots, we get the rebound and run," Collins said. "If they make basket, we have to walk it up. So on us if we want to run."
This greater amount of running, plus solid shooting and play in the paint, has allowed the layhawks to put more points on the board. They notched more than 90 points for the second game in a row and the third time in their last five games. Before this stretch, Kansas had only hit the 90-point mark twice all season.
The layhawks could run the ball as they pleased Saturday. Kansas defeated Missouri 92-74 largely because of transition points after beating full court pressure and a key stretch in the first half, where it held the Tigers without a field goal for several minutes.
A fast paced game was expected against the Tigers. Missouri used full-court pressure after almost every basket it scored.
But the Tigers' plan had one hitch; they couldn't score. Early in the first half, Kansas rarely let Missouri take
Wright benefited the most from the fast-paced play, scoring 33 points.
"The game was in slow motion to him today." Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He wasn't sped up. He was great."
a quality shot. The Jayhawks held the Tigers without a field goal for almost nine minutes. This gave Kansas the chance to run, and they did it well. It outscored Missouri 2-4 to two during that stretch, highlighted by seven points from sophomore forward Julian Wright.
Wright, whose speed and showtime playing style often led to turnovers, had a field day running on the Tigers. He beat the defense down the court for several easy layups and dunks in transition, highlighted by a two-handed throw down over Missouri's Kalen Grimes.
"Coach Self always said to catch it and go." Collins said. "And just go."
"I feel pretty comfortable." Wright said about playing fast. "As a big man, I think of layups all the time and the confidence of our guards. This tempo is pretty good, man. It's easier to play."
Collins said he also enjoyed playing at a fast pace. When the Tigers did score and set up their press, he had no trouble beating it. Collins used his quickness to dribble past traps and double teams.
and go and go because there's always someone behind you. So I just try to catch it and go."
Once Collins made it to the offensive end, he shared the ball with the big men. Big Jones dished out seven assists, with most of them going to Wright and junior forward Darnell Jackson.
Jackson and Wright scored easily, continuing the trend of dominance in the low post. Against Kansas State, the big guys accumulated 60 points in the paint, and they nearly did it again Saturday, scoring 58 against Missouri.
This streak of high-powered offense has a good chance to stay alive. Kansas' next three games are against Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas State. The lajhawks scored more than 90 points against the Buffaloes and Wildcats and had 43 points in the first half against the Huskers before slowing down in the second.
"We seem to be playing with a bit more confidence," Self said. "We seem to be attacking the lane better, and our shooting percentages are going up"

musician and an artist and a writer, it also shows I am growing into a better human being."
"For so many years, I've been talked about negatively," said Blige, who during her 15-year career has often discussed her past substance and self-esteem problems. "But this time I've been talked about positively by so many people."
The Dixie Chicks know about negative talk: The country superstars turned into red-state pariads after lead singer Natalie Maines criticized President Bush during a 2003 concert, on the eve of the Iraq invasion.
"Not Ready to Make Nice," their defiant anthem about the backlash, won the trio song of the year honors. They also won, ironically, country album of the year, despite distancing themselves from the genre with their album "Taking the Long Way."
"That's interesting," Maines said at the podium. "Well, to quote the great 'Simpsons' — 'Heh-Heh.'"
The Chili Peppers' double album, "Stadium Arcadium," was a triple winner, including best rock song and rock performance by a duo or group for "Dani California." Like the Dixie Chicks and Blige, the Chili Peppers delivered a critically acclaimed, commercially successful album as their careers hit the veteran stage.
The Grammys embraced its baby boomer status as in its 49th year. Though the show featured a medley with some bright new stars, including John Mayer, John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae, it relied heavily on the classics. Nominee Lionel Richie sang his '80s hit "Hello" and Smokey Robinson sang the Motown classic "The Tracks of My Tears" in a tribute to R&B The Police, Rock and Roll Hall of Farmers who split in 1984, reunited to kick off the show with "Roxanne" — even though they weren't nominated for anything.

Designers preview fall collections
BY SAMANTHA CRITCHELL
MONDAY FERRUARY 12.2007
Tommy Hilfiger: Tommy Hilfiger returned to Fashion Week after a several season hiatus with the styles that made him famous in the first place — preppy classics. Tweeds, cable knit sweaters, plaids and peacocks were all important in the collection, contributing to a sophisticated twist on the collarless look.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — New York Fashion Week wrapped up Friday with some of the biggest and most classic American designers, including Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Donna Karan, previewing their fall collections. Isabel Toledo, who until now has had an avant-garde touch, also showed her first line for the venerable brand Anne Klein.
The big fashion show moves to London on Sunday, followed by Milan, Italy and Paris, with many of the same editors, stylists and retail buyers in tow.
A turtleneck sweater dress with horizontal black and white stripes looked modern and fresh as did a blackwatch plaid (a specific tartan plaid) cape with reflective lining and a reflective circle skirt, which were worn with a red cashmere turtleneck sweater.
Hilger certainly picked up on some of the seasonal trends, including mixing day and night looks into a single outfit (a navy wool cropped jacket worn with a tan silk skirt) and presenting a layered look that was still sleek and slim (a short tweed jumper with a turtleneck). He also had a strong group of coats, one of the most important items of next season, though his were more casual than those seen on most other runways.
In her notes, Karan explained that she was aiming to capture the strength and electricity of New York at night to "reflect and illuminate the power of a woman."
There was also an adorable cocktail look a navy silk dress with bead-
ing in the shape of a bandeau bikini top at the bustline over a navy turtle neck.
Eveningwear hugged the models' curves and, considering the skinny model debate, Karan did seem to find those who most closely resembled females fatales. Among the best dresses were a black sheath with origami-type folds and a vertical stroke of neon yellow on one side, and a teal and black buster gown.
Donna Karan: Donna Karan returned to her roots with the bodysuit style tops that decades ago she promised women would make their lives easier — and they looked as chic as ever.
She used these formfitting, slightly sheer viscose tops to anchor slim, long skirts, hourglass dresses with fan details on the bodice, and architectural jackets with oversized collars. Many of the outfits had several layers but the overall look was seamless and sexy.
Almost everything was black, with the occasional flash of bright yellow, purple and teal.
She said she knew the designer through their work for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. "I been a fan of hers for years." Sims said. "I love her designs but I love what she stands for even more."
Model-actress Molly Sims, decked from head to toe in Donna Karan, was among those in the front row.
Ralph Lauren: Why reinvent the wheel? Ralph Lauren's collections are consistently elegant and sophisticated, and that's exactly what he plans for fall.
He cut the clothes, which were
cashmere dress that was further winterized by a turtleneck sweater, and lining a bomber jacket — in brown silk fallie, of course — with shearling.
He also broke with the pack in using a sundress silhouette for a
almost all luxe-looking wools, very close to the body, even bucking conventional wisdom that slim bottoms need roomier tops and vice versa. Lauren's long and lean black trousers found a perfect mate in a cropped cashmere tweed jacket, although it's really a look only long and lean women could pull off.
Bebeto Matthews/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lauren also clearly took a shine to gold, offering a range of metallic pieces for a range of occasions, from a puffy ski vest to a short, belted leather trench.

BERLIN — Robert De Niro said his fascination with the Cold War led him to direct the CIA saga "The Good Shepherd," which screened Saturday at the annual Berlin film festival.
The film — shut out of all the top Oscar nominations — was among 22 movies competing for the top Golden Bear award in Berlin. "Shepherd" traces the origins of the CIA through the eyes of a fictionalized agent, played by Matt Damon.
De Niro, who made his directorial debut 13 years ago with "A Bronx Tale," said he was attracted to "Shepherd" by the "sweeping scope" of the script by Eric Roth and a fascination with the period itself.
"I'm fascinated by the Cold War. I'm a child of the Cold War," he told reporters, recalling visiting the divided Berlin as a child. "That whole period and the intelligence world — all that stuff is fascinating."

His goal was to avoid being judgmental.
"I didn't want to criticize," he said. "I put the things down in as straightforward, direct, honest a way as I could."

De Niro won a best actor Oscar for 1980's "Raging Bull" and a supporting actor award for 1974's "The Godfather: Part II." He has been a nominee four other times, but there was little Oscar love for "The Good Shepherd," nominated only for best art direction.
Judge Doyet Early said Hynie also could take pictures and videotape of the inside of the house if she wanted. If there is any dispute between Hynie and trustees about whether something belongs to her, that item will be set aside until its ownership can be clarified later, Early said.

AIKEN, S.C. — The woman who claims to be James Brown's fourth wife returned to the home she shared with the singer after a judge ruled Friday that she could retrieve her belongings.
"There's a definite similarity to both secretive organizations," he said, though he added, "Edward Wilson's family is more dysfunctional than the Italian families that I can remember."
De Niro said he took only a supporting role in "Shepherd" — an Army official who recruits young agents — because "I'm not crazy about directing myself."
Damon praised De Niro's attention to detail as a director.
De Niro, 63, said he saw parallels between the CIA tale and the Mafia world of many of the films that made him famous.

So De Niro is rooting for his former "Raging Bull" director Martin Scorsese, who is hoping "The Departed" will bring him the Oscar honors that have long eluded him. De Niro said he hoped this would be a good year at the Oscars for Scorsese.
Hynie, who wore a wedding band to Friday's hearing, says she and Brown were married, which is disputed by Brown's attorneys. The judge offered to hear arguments on that issue Friday, but Hynie's attorney said he would present that case another day.
Tomi Rae Hyne said she has been locked out of the Beech Island home since Brown died Christmas Day at age 73. She went into the home Friday afternoon with the estate's trustees and three of Brown's six adult children and left with a few personal items, including a dress and other clothing, said Buddy Dallas, a trustee and attorney for the singer.
BY KATRINA A. GOGGINS
Hynie said she or her attorney will come back later for larger items, like furniture.
The singer's six adult children
were in court in an attempt to remove three trustees who are handling the late singer's estate. They claim the estate has been mismanaged.
Although their relationship has been strained in recent weeks, the children and Hynie are united in a separate action asking for a special administrator to be appointed to oversee the trust.
Hynie hugged Brown's oldest daughter, Venisha Brown, after court was adjourned.
Attorney for the trustees said they plan a countersuit. An attorney handling Brown's will, Strom Thurmond Jr., asked the Aiken County judge for a restraining order and injunction against the children, saying they have interfered with the administration of the estate.
"From the moment they tried to act as personal representatives, we have been met with contempt," Thurmond said.
The judge said he would decide next week on the children's request either to remove the trustees or appoint a special administrator for the estate. The judge also ordered that no personal items be sold from Brown's home to pay off bills.
Louis Levenson, an attorney for Brown's children, claimed trustees allowed taxes to go unpaid and a judgment over a land sale to go unanswered. Hynie's attorney also claimed bills were unpaid and electricity was cut off.

Texas *D.J. Augustin* drives to the basket against Iowa State's Jiru Halebalen during the second half of Saturday's basketball game in Austin, Texas.
League improving gaining confidence
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Memo to any college coach who might be crossing paths or swords with Texas in the next six of seven weeks: Beware a terrific Longhorn freshman. This kid is capable of scoring more than 30 points, been known to hoist a team onto his young shoulders and carry it into the winners circle.
And if that's not scary enough, get this — his name's not Kevin Durant.
This one's about 10 inches shorter than Durant, who's being compared with the greatest freshmen in NCAA history. He goes by the name of D.J. Augustin, and he's making Kansas coach Bill Self seem prophetic. Self said earlier this year that it not for Durant, then Augustin would be the one everyone raved about, and it's a theory that'll get no argument from Iowa State coach Greg McDermott.
The underdog Cyclones hatched an intelligent plan when they traveled Saturday to Austin —drape all available bodies over Durant, try like the devil to disrupt him while also hassling A.J. Abrams behind the 3-point line.
Worked like a charm, too. Abrams was just 1-for 10. Durant scored 17
points, 16 below his Big 12 average.
But all that did was set Augustin loose. And the 5-foot-11 point guard erupted for a career-best 31 points in a 77-68 victory that moved Rick Barnes into a tie with Tom Penders for the most victories (208) by a Texas coach.
"I thought our guys executed the plan of making Durant and Abrams' looks tough," said McDermott. "But by doing that you are going to give up some things. But we had to give up something. It was going to have to work to perfection. If we would have got D.J. to cooperate a little better, maybe it would have worked."
Augustin put up 13 field goal attempts and hit nine. At the free throw line he was 10-for-10. He also had four steals and six assists.
"One of the best performances I've seen all year, maybe the best by anybody on our team," Barnes said, "He said, 'This team is mine, and I'm gonna run it.' He led the team with confidence."
Confidence seems common among the Big 12's upper half, as the regular season begins to wind down. Every one of the top six teams won, including Texas A&M and Kansas.

Florida continues dominance

Florida's Corey Brewer, right, drives past Kentucky's Randolph Morris during the second half of their basketball game in Lexington, Ky., Saturday. Florida won the game, 64-61.
Ed Reinke/ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Last year, Florida ran through the NCAA tournament. This season, the Gators are dominating the Southeastern Conference.
Top-ranked Florida (23-2, 16-0) won its 16th straight overall, 64-61 on Saturday night, and fifth in a row against No. 20 Kentucky — the program that has been the league standard bearer.
"We're just trying to build and be like Kentucky is," Gators coach Billy Donovan said. "Sometimes maybe people have harsh expectations, and that's unfair. We're trying to build a program, build a tradition."
This one came down to a last-second 3-point attempt by Ramel Bradley that would have tied the score, but the defending national champions held on for the victory.
"I thought it was going to fall in," Bradley said. "It was a tough shot to get off."
Florida was up 63-54 with 20 seconds left before Bradley hit consecutive 3s to cut the margin to three. Prior to that, Kentucky (18-7, 7-3) had made just one of 19 attempts from beyond the arc and was threatening the school-worst 1-for-19 performance set in 2002 against South Carolina.
It had been 20 years since the Wildcats, college basketball's winning program, lost five times in a row to one opponent. Tennessee was the last to do it from 1975-77. No team has beaten Kentucky in six straight.
"Everyone just stepped it up a little more, and you definitely need to do that when playing in front of a great crowd like (Kentucky's), here at a historical place," Florida guard Taurean Green said.
A record crowd of 24,465 was hoping to see Kentucky's 400th victory at Rupp Arena. Instead, the
Gators won back-to-back games in the building for the first time since 1988-89.
During practices this week, Kentucky players watched footage of a game between the two teams in 2003 in which Florida came in No. 1 but instead was walloped by the Wildcats 70-55.
This one was far different, both in the outcome and the margin.
Corey Brewer scored 16 points to lead the Gators while Randolph Morris had 18 points for the Wildcats.
Green nailed a three-pointer with 8 minutes to go in the first half that gave the Gators their biggest lead at 30-14. But Kentucky followed seconds later with a 10-0 run.
pulling, within four on a jumper by Bobby Perry.
Green hit his third 3 pointer in three attempts to stop the run, and Jonathan Mitchell made a layup just before halftime to stretch the Gators' lead to 36-27.
The Gators kept the Wildcats at a distance until early in the second half, when Florida big men Joakim Noah and Al Hortford picked up their third fouls. That's when Morris went to work.
Morris scored three straight buckets for the Wildcats midway through the second half and used an off-balanced jumper to cut the Florida lead to 43-40. Florida misfired on several possessions to keep Kentucky close.
Backup Florida center Chris Richard had a dunk less than 8 minutes into the game to set a season high with 11 points.
"He's a talented player," Kentucky coach Tubby Smith said. "He would be starting on many teams in many programs in America."
Kentucky held the nation's field-goal percentage leader to 47 percent, but the Wildcats managed to make just 38 percent of their shots — and 14 percent from 3-point range.
"We learned that we can play with anybody," Kentucky freshman guard Jodie Meeks said, "Florida is the No. 1 team in the country, and we came out and played them hard."
>> DUKE LACROSSE CASE
Opponent files affidavit against prosecutor
BY AARON BEARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH, N.C. — A political opponent of the prosecutor who brought sexual assault charges against three Duke lacrosse players filed an affidavit Friday seeking to remove him from office.
Beth Brewer, who led a pre-election campaign against Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, filed the affidavit accusing him of committing "willful misconduct in office" — a complaint that mirrors accusations brought against him by the North Carolina State Bar.
Associated Press in an interview Friday. "Now that the voters have chosen someone other than who she wanted, she's trying to remove me from office in this manner."
"Obviously the person who filed this affidavit is someone who tried unsuccessfully to defeat me in the political process," Nifong told The
Brewer declined to comment.
The affidavit is the latest problem for Nifong to stem from his handling of the lacrosse case. Last month, Nitong asked the state attorney general's office to take over the troubled prosecution of three lacrosse players charged with attacking a stripper at a team party last spring.
Nifong dropped charges of rapa after the 28-year-old woman changed a key detail of her account of the March 13 party.
The athletes still face charges of sexual offense and kidnapping and have consistently maintained
Last month, the North Carolina State Bar added more serious charges, including withholding evidence from the defense and lying to both the court and bar investigators.
The North Carolina State Bar has accused Nifong of violating professional conduct rules by making misleading and inflammatory comments about the athletes under suspicion.
Legal experts have said if convicted, Nittons could be disbarred.
their innocence.
to comment on the ethics complaint; other than to say he would respond "in the courtroom." But in an interview with the Associated Press on Friday, the veteran prosecutor said the sooner his trial arrives, "the better."
"I'm looking forward to having the case heard and having the opportunity to have my side told publicly." Nifong said.
Nifong's attorneys must file a written response to the bar's ethics charges by Feb. 23, and a trial on those ethics charges is not likely to begin June.

Mickelson wins Pro-Am, ties record
Tour veteran ties tournament record at Pebble Beach, captures 11th West Coast victory in 15 seasons
BearingPoint
Phil Mickelson hugs his children, daughters Sophia, left, and Amanda, right, and son Evan, center, after finishing the 18th hole at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am golf tournament in Pebble Beach, Calif. Sunday, Mickelson finished二十-under 246 for the victory.
Jeff Chiu/ASSOCIATED PRESS
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif.
— Anone worried that Phil Mickelson was emotionally scarred by that U.S. Open collapse can relax.
Mickelson finally got his season on track Sunday by closing with a 6 under 66 under surprising sunshine to tie the tournament record at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am and win by five shots for the 30th victory of his career.
Mickelson overcame a double bogey with a lost ball early in the round with three birdies in a four-hole stretch along the ocean, turning a tight race into another runaway.
He matched the largest margin of victory at this tournament, winning by five shots over Kevin Sutherland.
It was the 11th time in 15 seasons that Mickelson won on the West Coast Swing, and the timing couldn't have been better. He had started his season slowly, allowing the conversation to linger on his gaffe last summer at Winged Foot, when he chopped his way to a double bogey on the final hole to lose the U.S. Open.
Now, he looks as if he's about to hit his stride.
Mickelson finished at 20 under 268, tying the tournament record at Pebble Beach set in 1997 by Mark O'Meara.
He earned $990,000. making him the third person in tour history to surpass $40 million in career earnings.
Sutherland, in the final group for the second time in three weeks, hit over the ninth green and took
double bogs to fall out of contention. He also missed a half-dozen
he missed six puts on the first 10 holes. On hole No. 8, he missed from 7 feet as Mickelson took the lead for good.
The only suspense was whether he would tie O'Meara's scoring record, and Mickelson didn't disappoint.

America advances
Roddick helps U.S. reach quarterfinals
Roddick beat Tomas Berdych 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (4) Sunday to lead the United States to a 4-1 victory over the Czech Republic in the first round of the World Group.
The United States will next play Spain in Winston-Salem, N.C., in April. It will be a rematch of the 2004 final in Seville, when the Spanish hosts beat the Americans on clay spread so thick it took any sting out of the U.S. game.
The victory gave the Americans an insurmountable lead in the best-of-five format, and Roddick ran his record to 8-0 in Davis Cup matches with victory on the line. In the final match, which had no bearing on the outcome, Bob Bryan beat Lukas Dlouhy 7-6 (5), 6-4.
OSTRAV, Czech Republic — Andy Roddick kicked the red powder off his shoes one last time Sunday, happy to be done with clay and ready to return to the hard-court back home for the Davis Cup quarterfinals.
"As far as the weight of the situation goes," Roddick said, "it definitely could be one of my best matches on clay."
"It was similar to a sandbox." Roddick recalled.
Now the Spaniards, likely led by Rafael Nadal, can expect something faster.
"I'm sure we will return the favor, and I'm sure the court probably won't be too slow," Roddick said.
Other World Group winners in the first round were; defending champion Russia (at Chile), Sweden (at Belarus), Germany (home against Croatia), Spain (at Switzerland), France (home against Romania), Argentina (at Austria) and Belgium (at home against Australia).
The other pairings for the April
6 quarterfinals are France-Russia Germany-Belgium and Sweden-Argentina.
"It is a statistic I don't like," the 24-year-old Roddick said. "Especially considering I have been on the team for my seventh year now."
The United States leads all nations with 31 Davis Cup titles. But the Americans are looking to end their longest Davis Cup drought, which dates to 1995.

On Friday, Roddick downed two Minar in four sets before Bordych beat James Blake in four sets. The U.S. went up 2-1 Saturday on a doubles victory by twins Bob and Mike Bryan.
"We saw today why Andy Roddick is the fourth best player in the world." Czech coach Jaroslav Navratil said.
The Americans had not won a Davis Cup World Group series on clay in a decade, but Roddick broke the streak when Berdych netted a return of serve in the fourth-set tiebreaker.
Roddick, ranked No. 4 and winner of the 2003 U.S. Open, displayed an overpowering serve and a solid baseline game. He mastered not only the clay but a partisan crowd and one of the game's rising stars to raise his Davis Cup record to 22-9.

"It is one of his biggest wins, certainly in Davis Cup _ one of his most impressive wins," captain Patrick McEnroe, said
The Roddick-Berdych match featured two tall players wielding big serves, Berdych, ranked No. 12 and his country's biggest star at 21, maintained the pressure and Roddick was the first to crack.

In the seventh game, the Czech hit a couple of baseline winners and sealed the game with a subtle drop shot. The home crowd sensed another victory from Berdych and the prospect of a decisive fifth match.

A surprise witness who came forward at the end of last week has led the trial of Jason Allen Rose to be declared a mistrial.
After four days, seventeen witnesses, and hours of testimony, the decision of Rose's future will have to wait at least two and a half months more.

Bill could give free tuition to some vets
Veterans may be getting free college tuition in Kansas, but only if they served in the right countries.
The House Committee on Veterans, Military and Homeland Security is reviewing a bill that would only give free tuition to veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan at least 90 days after Sept.11,2001.
The bill is one of three that the committee has received that attempts to get veterans tuition breaks for higher education. By Tuesday, the three bills need to be consolidated into one bill that will be sent to the House for proposal.
Don Myers (R-Derby), chair of the committee, said that all the bills would be considered and that the final bill would not necessarily exclude veterans who served in other countries.
"I think probably what the authors were trying to do was award those who are serving in dangerous war zones." Myers said.
One of the other bills under consideration was drafted by the Student Legislative Awareness Board. That
Myers described the third bill being examined as being "vague" in its language, and he said that to be useful, it needed to be more clearly defined.
bill would make any veteran discharged after Jan. 1, 2000, eligible for paid college tuition and fees in the state of Kansas. The bill was called the Returning Heroes' Education Act.
Myers said that the bill would likely grant eligible veterans paid tuition for up to 10 semesters, which is the same length of time the Returning Heroes' Education Act would allow.
Having the state pay for tuition for servicemen and women is nothing new. Ian Staples, director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said that the Returning Heroes' Education Act would give veterans benefits similar to what those serving in the National Guard receive.

Dept. was one of first KU, Chicago vie for claim to title of oldest program
BY NATHAN GILL
The University of Chicago also claims to have founded the first sociology department in America.
The department of sociology at the University of Kansas, which began in 1890 and has a strong gender studies focus, is arguably the oldest in the nation.
Bill Staples, sociology department chair, said the dispute concerned the date each department became official.
"We can certainly claim to have taught the first class," he said.
Staples said the confusion centered around when each department became official. The University of Chicago claimed its department began in 1892.
Whatever the date, one thing is certain: the sociology department here has had a profound affect on the University. The current departments of economics, anthropology and social work have their roots intertwined with the sociology department's Staples said the department was also known for its strength in gender studies.
The sociology department first offered "Status of Women in the U.S." in 1891, a course Staples said could be considered one of the first women's studies courses in the United States. The class was offered exclusively to women.
LaPierre said many of the department's younger professors are women. She said she was interested in how these new professors would change the department in the future, but hoped sociology would not be seen as a female-oriented area of study.
The female-inclusive tradition of the department continues today. Eleven of the department's 20 professors are women and Staples said the majority of students majoring in sociology were women.
"The contributions of sociology transcend gender boundaries," LaPierre said.
Staples said the department's focus, which began in a time of rapid social change, was changing to address current sociological issues. In the early 20th century, sociologists were concerned with such issues as urbanization, industrial capitalism and the nation's trend of economic booms and busts.
Tracey LaPierre, assistant professor of sociology, is one of three new professors the department hired this academic year. Three of the four professors were women.
Now the department is looking global. KU sociologists are studying topics that include global health systems, global economics and the migrations of peoples.
"The U.S. is not just this island someplace," Staples said. "It's nearly impossible to study things social in isolation."

Increase in Pell Grants proposed

Federal Pell Grant. She said the grant, which is offered to students from low-income families, would be increased to $4,600 in 2008 — the largest increase in 30 years.
Students receive the grant based on information from their Free Application for Federal Student Aid information, a required financial aid application, which formulates the
"It opens the doors for students who don't have the funding to attend college," she said.
Last year, 3,280 University of Kansas students qualified for the Pell Grant, Covington said. All of the grants averaged to $2,510 per student.
The proposal would also raise the maximum Pell Grant allowance to $5,400 by 2012, the largest 5-year increase ever, according to the Department of Education's Web site. Covington said the Pell Grant maximum has been stuck at $4,050 since the 2003-2004 school year.

In-state tuition and fees in 2004-2005 cost $4.737 for 15 hours according to a table of tuition and fees for two semesters from the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. The Pell Grant was $700 less than tuition that year. Covington said,

If the family can't contribute anything, the student can receive a maximum grant.
"It truly goes to our neediest students," she said.
The grant doesn't have to be repaid. Covington said February was an important time for students to think about financial aid, as it was declared Financial Aid Awareness Month by Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
March 1 is the application deadline for several other types of financial aid, including the KU Tuition Grant and the Kansas Comprehensive Grant, Covington said.
Rebecca Black, communications director for Dennis Moore, said the House Budget Committee would consider the proposal in the next few weeks.
Covington said a full Pell Grant didn't cover 12 credit hours, but that every increase in federal aid makes school more accessible for students.

Student uses job search class to land television internship
》 ACADEMICS
BY ELIZABETH CATTELL
A class on job search strategies paid off for senior Teresa Lo. The history major is interning at the Late Show with David Letterman this semester.
Lo learned about the internship through her class mailing list the day before applications were due. She said the skills she learned helped her compile her application on short notice.
"The stuff on my resume was good, but the class helped me polish it and it taught us how to write cover letters," Lo said. "If I didn't take that class I don't really think I'd be here in New York."
Lo said the class also taught her interviewing skills, which proved helpful when she was invited to an interview in New York during fall break. She was one of 11 students chosen for the internship.
Lo began her internship Ian. 2 and is earning credits through independent study while in New York.
She reseARCHs Letterman's guests in the CBSS Library to gain information on them for each show. She also picks up items associated with each guest, such as CDs or DVDs.
Lo said her hands on experience lets her see show business from a new perspective.
"I had to go to Marc Jacobs to pick up a T-shirt with Juliane Moore on
it, not the store but where they make designs. I've gotten to see things that are behind all the glamour so it really helps me learn what the industry is really about and what I need to know. Lo said.
Ann Hartley, associate director of the University Career Center, taught Lo's job search class. The class, Job Search Strategies for Liberal Arts and Sciences Students, focuses on lifelong job search skills.
Hartley said Lo is one of many students who has secured a competitive internship after taking the class.
"I had one student e-mail me to tell me they got their dream job. She had pursued an internship with Liz Claiborne and now she has a fulltime job for the company designing leather goods." Hartley said. "It's important to know opportunities exist and it's very possible for a lot of students to find success."
Lo said that even though her internship has just begun, she has already gained unique experiences that will help her in the future. She even met Letterman himself.
"I was walking to the copy machine with a huge stack of files and I saw him coming around the corner." Lo said. "He smiled and said 'Hello' and I just said 'Hf' all quiet and walked away. He was really friendly and I was just awkward."

CRIME
Jury chosen for child-murder trial
BY TERRY KINNEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
BATAVIA, Ohio - A woman charged with murder in the death of her developmentally disabled foster son sat quietly at the defense table Monday as potential jurors were asked what they knew and thought about the accusations against her.
Prosecutors say Liz Carroll and her husband wrapped 3-year-old Marcus Fiesel in a blanket, bound him with packing tape and left him in a closet last August while they went to a family reunion in Kentucky for the weekend, returning to find the boy dead. She later reported that Marcus went missing from a suburban Cincinnati park.
Ten of the first 30 prospective jurors who were questioned were excused, but only three because they told judge Robert Ringland they had strong opinions about the couple's guilt. Jury selection was set to resume Tuesday afternoon.
Carroll, 30, wore a black pantstu that covered the leg restraints she was ordered to wear. She was brought into the Clermont County courtroom before prospective jurors entered so
they would not notice her hobbled walk.
Her husband, David Carroll Jr. also is charged with murder and is to be tried separately next month. They are each being held in lieu of $10.1 million bail.
Liz Carroll's attorney, Gregory Cohen, has asked that the trial be moved from southwest Ohio. Ringland has not ruled on that motion but could at any time if a jury cannot be seated.
Ringland cautioned prospective jurors to stop reading newspapers, listening to news reports or researching the case on the Internet until the trial ends. He said the trial was likely to take two weeks.
Liz Carroll and David Carroll Jr., 29, have pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges including kidnapping and child endangerment. David Carroll, who is accused of burning the boy's body and dumping the remains in the Ohio River, also is charged with gross abuse of a corpse.
Liz Carroll acknowledged in grand jury testimony days after the child was reported missing that he had been left in the closet and died, but she said she had no intention of hurting him.

Professional musicians work with students

Music students will work one-on-one with members of the National Symphony Orchestra when it stops in Lawrence for a residency program next month.
Each year, the National Symphony Orchestra spends at least a week in a different state for its residency program. The annual program, founded in 1992, consists of educational and professional activities throughout the chosen state. Symphony members and directors will spend three days in Lawrence, working with elementary and secondary school students, and with students and faculty from the University's School of Fine Arts.

DINING SERVICES
Students could shape menus
BY MARK DENT
After dining for more than a semester on campus, Courtney Rellihan has learned an important lesson: Stay away on Sundays.
"They have days," the Prairie Village freshman said, "when I just don't want to eat there."
Rellihan and other University of Kansas students could be eating tastier food soon, even on Sundays. KU Dining Services may let students share recipes from home with the dining halls.
Nona Golledge, KU Dining Services director, said it is one of the services" goals" and will likely be finalized later this semester.
When the program is finished, students would go to the KU Dining Services Web site to submit a recipe. A menu committee would look at the submissions and decide if it could make the meal. If a student's dish is chosen, it would be named after him or her.
or in the summer.
"The idea gives a bit more engagement and enjoyment for our customers, which is what we want to do," Goldeg said.
The GSP-Corbin Hall dining hall already asked students to share recipes during a homemade cookie contest earlier this year. Golledge said KU Dining Services has also collected cooking ideas off and on in the past.
meal lineup, they will be following the example of other college caterers. According to an Associated Press article, universities such as Georgia, Harvard and Connecticut are using the dishes to cure home sickness and create more variety KU Dining Services motive for collecting recipes is to give students more freedom to choose their food.
When the dining hall starts incorporating students' recipes into their
"Everyone wants to participate and have more input into their meals." Gollege said. "It gives them more of a connection."
One possible problem with the plan is that it might not complement health food programs at the University such as "Better Bites", Ann Chapman, Coordinator of Nutritional Health at the Wellness Resource Center, said home-cooked meals likely would not be as nutritious as the healthy alternatives the dining halls serve now.
"Some people cook healthy at home; some people don't," she said. "The better options in the eating halls are already there."
"If they're good recipes" she said,
"then it would be great."
The home-cooked meals could lack the nutritional value of other available foods, but the program could succeed as long as students such as Rellihan enjoy the new dishes.

Celebs speak out against
Chinese rule over Tibet
BERLIN — Richard Gere on Monday urged Germany, which holds the European Union and G-8 presidencies, to press China about its human rights record and Tibet.
Gere, a longtime advocate of the Tibetan cause, argued at a news conference that the twin
presidency marks "a historic moment for Germany to step forward"
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has publicly raised the broader issue of human rights with Chinese leaders, saying during a visit to Beijing last May that they are "an important issue of bilateral dialogue."
"This is a moment of great possibility for ... not just punishing but encouraging China to become part of the modern world," he said. "Tibet should be ever-present in any discussion with China."
Gere, 57, was in the German capital for the annual Cinema for Peace gala. It gathers celebrities to raise money for humanitarian organizations such as the U.N. Children's Fund.
China has exercised an often harsh, intrusive rule over Tibet since communist troops marched into the region in 1950.
Also attending was rocker and anti-poverty campaigner Bob Geldof, who echoed Gere's call for action on China.
"It is probably the job of Germany this year, the privilege of Germany this year to embrace China into the international norms that are expected of behavior," Geldof said.

Bill may hurt, help farmers
SAM HANANEL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Larry W. Smith/Associated Press
Joe Keij looks over his John Deere 4720 sprayer, used to apply fertilizer as a top dressing, on his farm near Brookville, Kan., Monday. Lawmakers and farm groups have questions about President Bush's plan to reduce agriculture spending overall, cut subsidies to producers earning more than $200,000 in adjusted gross income and make it more expensive to buy crop insurance.
WASHINGTON — When Congress passed the last farm bill five years ago, Sen. Pat Roberts was firmly in the "no" column.
The latest version of farm legislation offered by the Bush administration last month hasn't put to rest Roberts' concerns, or those of other Kansas officials worried about its impact on the state's farmers and ranchers.
"We want to do a lot more homework and run the numbers to determine what we really think the practical effect will be and then we'll go from there," said Roberts, a Republican.
Lawmakers and farm groups have questions about Bush's plan to reduce agriculture spending overall, cut subsidies for producers earning more than $200,000 in adjusted gross income and make it more expensive for farmers to buy crop insurance.
Yet the state also stands to benefit from other aspects of the proposal.
The White House's blueprint would boost conservation funding, promote renewable fuels and provide money to upgrade the quality of rural hospitals - all key for Kansas farmers.
"There are some things that make a lot of sense to me and some things that are detrimental to the agricultural economy in Kansas," said Republican Rep. Jeremy Moran, who represents all of western Kansas.
Congress
"There are some things that make a lot of sense to me and some things that are detrimental to the agricultural economy in Kansas."
enacts new farm legislation about every five years in response to changes in the agriculture industry. With the current farm bill expiring in September, Bush's plan is viewed as a starting point for discussion.
Kansas farmers received over 59 billion in subsidies from 1995-2005 ranking the state 6th in the nation according to a database compiled by the Environmental Working Group, a public interest group that tracks payments. Texas ranked first in subsidy payments, with farmers there pulling in $14.8 billion over the same time.
Many wheat farmers, whose crop production suffered because of
drought, believe they were treated unfairly under the 2002 farm bill because they could not qualify for certain subsidy programs that are based on yield.
REP. JERRY MORAN
R — Kansas
"We were in a situation where the cost of production went up and we just left that money on the table," said Joe Keir, a Brookville farmer and president of the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers. "We're trying to
get those inequities fixed in the farm bill."

One of Roberts' biggest concerns is that the plan would raise premiums for crop insurance, increasing costs for a large number of Kansas producers. At the same time, the Bush administration has consistently opposed separate disaster assistance legislation because crop insurance is available.
"How does taking additional money out of this risk management program help producers?" Roberts said. "I don't understand that."
On the positive side, the administration proposes to boost conservation spending by about $780 million a year. Part of that money would help cattle producers and livestock feeders comply with environmental standards for runoff, water pollution and air quality.
That will make a difference for the state's $5 billion a year beef industry and be felt in Moran's western Kansas district, which has more cattle than any other in the nation.
Moran also is excited about the plan to make $1.6 billion in low interest loans available for small, critical care hospitals to buy new equipment and upgrade aging facilities.
Local residents resist proposed $13 M highway interchange
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TONGANOXIE — Plans for a proposed $13 million highway interchange at the intersection of Leavenworth County Road 1 and the Kansas Turnpike are facing strong opposition from residents living near the area.

project, which aims to improve County Road 1 from U.S. Highway 24 to Kansas Highway 32 to support increases in traffic. Leavenworth County officials argue that the proposal has been in the works since the 1990s and will provide better access to the county, which will allow for growth and development.
"It's like the difference between living on Walden Pond and living near a strip mall," said resident Marym Hiersted, whose land has several acres of forests and native prairie grasses that she doesn't want to see spoiled by the interchange. "Development impacts not

The opposition meeting at the county fairground came three days after the Leavenworth County Commission
approved a resolution reaffirming its support for the project, at an expense of about $8 million.
Tonganoxie is expected to provide $1 million, and the Kansas
Turnpike Authority has promised $2 million. The source of the remaining $1.96 million has not yet been identified, but Leavenworth County Commissioners hope to secure federal money for the project.
Residents at the Sunday meeting also said the project could end up costing more than the projected $12.96 million. They said the county would have to pay for overruns, plus whatever is not provided by the federal government. The money from the county and Tonganoxie would come from a voter-approved 1 cent sales tax that runs through 2016.
Jan Bernhardt stands to lose a portion of her 320 acres to the project.
"My concern is the access road to the toll booth will go right by my house," Bevnhardt said. "Even beyond that, all the development that will follow this interchange is scary. We have a right to have a voice in this process, and we haven't had a voice."

Ex-Westar chief finishes prison time
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEAVENWORTH — David Wittig, the former top executive of Westar Energy Inc., was released from prison Monday after serving nearly 13 months in prison.
Wittig was released from the federal detention center in Leavenworth about 2 p.m. and was greeted by his wife, Beth, and Jeff Morris, one of his attorneys.
Wittig, the former chairman,
president and chief executive of
Westar, was convicted in July 2003
of engaging in a loan transaction
with a Topeka banker and helping
to conceal the loan from banking regulators.
Wittig had been incarcerated in a minimum security prison in Sandstone, Minn., until last month, when he was transported to Topeka for his third sentencing in the bank fraud case. U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson sentenced him to two years.
On Thursday, Robinson granted Wittig's request to be released on bond pending his appeal of that sentence.
Although Robinson granted Wittig bond last week, he could not be released until the 10th
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled on his request for bond in another case, in which Wittig was convicted in September 2005 of looting Westar. Robinson sentenced him to 18 years in prison in that case.
On Friday, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver granted that motion.
Wittig's release may be only temporary if the appeals court affirms the two-year sentence in the bank case, or prosecutors decide to put Wittig on trial again for some of the crimes in the Westar case.

WASHINGTON — Three prominent journalists testified Monday that Bush administration officials volunteered leaks about a CIA operative, as I. Lewis "Scooter" Libbys attorneys sought to suggest he was not responsible for exposing her.
The jury in Libby's perjury trial heard a 66 second snippet of one of the deep background interviews given to Washington Post editor Bob Woodward for use in one of his books. They also saw a parade of Pulitzer prize winning journalists discuss who did and did not leak the information that set off a scandal and ultimately brought Libby to trial.
Woodward, who never wrote about Plame, and columnist Robert Novak, who first identified her in print, testified that then-Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage first told them in the summer of 2003 that the wife of prominent Iraq war critic Joseph Wilson, Valerie Plame, worked at the CIA.
Another Post reporter, Walter Pincus, testified that then-White House press secretary Ari Fleischer "suddenly swerved off" topic during an interview to tell him of her employment.
This contradicted a point in Fleischer's testimony last week.
A major government witness, Fletscher testified Libby told him about. Plame

The defense did show Libby had numerous opportunities to leak
Plame's identity to reporters and did not. But none of Monday's testimony went directly to the precise charges that he lied about his conversations with three other reporters about her.
The day's highlight was the tape of Woodward's June 13, 2003, interview with Armitage about how Bush decided to go to war. Armitage's name was never supposed to be connected publicly to what he said, but the scandal prompted him to release Woodward from his pledge of confidentiality.

Woodward asked about Wilson's 2002 fact-finding mission to Africa for the CIA that the ex-bambassador says helped him debunk prewar intelligence on Iraq.
"Why would they send him?"
Woodward asked.
"Because his wife's a (expletive) analyst at the agency." Armitage
replied.
"It's still weird," Woodward said.
"It's perfect. That's what she does. She is a WMD analyst," Armitage said.
Later Woodward asked if she was the WMD chief at CIA. Armitage said she wasn't but was in a position there to suggest that her husband had contacts in Africa.
Finally, Armitage said: "His wife is at the agency and is a WMD analyst. How about that (expletive)."

Bush honors present-day contributors, sacrifices
WASHINGTON — To honor black history, President Bush on Monday didn't spend much time looking back.
He focused instead on people contributing today — those who are seizing opportunities gained at great price, the president said.
"Their stories." Bush said, "speak a lot louder and a lot clearer than I could."
Like the breakthrough by Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy, who this month became the first black coaches to take their teams to the Super Bowl. Or the work of astronauts Robert Curbeam and Joan Higgenbotham, whose helped rewire the International Space Station.
And then there's Tyrone Flowers, a once aspiring basketball star who was shot and paralyzed. Instead of seeking sympathy or revenge, Flowers became a lawyer and teamed with his wife to form a leadership program for at-risk children.
"Our call and our need is to continue to remember the promise belongs to everybody; Bush said. "And our call for this country is never to rest until equality is real, opportunity is universal and every citizen can realize his or her dreams."

Reprising a memorable scene from his State of the Union speech at the Capitol last month, he honored Wesley Autrey of New York, a construction worker who jumped onto the tracks in a subway station to save a man who had fallen from a seizure. Autrey pointed with pride to the president and blew kisses to the audience. "We're proud you're here again," Bush said. "We thank you for your courage."

Boeing shows tanker design to Air Force
BY DONNA BORAK ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Los Angeles-based company has been viewed as the underdog in the competition with a heavier, less fuel-efficient aircraft. The Airbus tanker would have a maximum fuel capacity of 200,000 pounds.
WASHINGTON — Boeing Co.
on Monday announced a newly
designed KC-767 as its proposed
aircraft for a $40 billion Air Force
contract competition to replace 179
refueling planes.
Boeing is competing against Northrop Grumman Corp., which is expected to offer its KC-30, a modified Airbus A330, at a discounted price.
The Chicago-based company said at a press conference that it tweaked the design of its long-range 767 freighter plane to improve fuel efficiency and allow it to take off and land on shorter runways, giving it greater flexibility in combat situations.
Last week, after much speculation that Northrop would bow out of the competition, the Los Angeles-based defense firm said it would bid on the contract. Northrop officials said changes made by the Air Force addressed concerns it had that the contract specifications would unfairly favor Boeing.
"They can afford to make improvement to the aircraft — by putting in a couple of bells and whistles — and still be well below the price competition," said Paul Nisbet, analyst for JSA Research Inc.
At stake for both competitors is a multiyear contract to replace a portion of the military's older fleet of KC-135 aircraft, a medium-sized refueling plane made by Boeing. The $40 billion contract is the first installment of an expected three phase deal that calls for more than 500 planes and could be worth an estimated $100 billion.
The Boeing-led team includes Smiths Aerospace, a unit of Smiths Group, Rockwell Collins Inc., Vought Aircraft Industries Inc., Honeywell Inc. and Spirit AeroSystems Inc.
Boeing's 767 is, on paper at least, more affordable than Northrop's aircraft, with a listed retail price of roughly $120 million. But industry insiders expect Northrop Grumman, which is partnering with European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., the parent company of Boeing's arch rival, Airbus, to heavily discount its KC-30 to increase its competitiveness. The current retail listing of the A330 is roughly $160 million.
Boeing said it would primarily build the refueling tankers at facilities in Everett, Wash., but that additional work — and flight tests — would take place in Wichita, Kan. Boeing estimated that if the Air Force selected the KC 767, the contract would support more than 44,000 American jobs and 300 suppliers.
Both aerospace manufacturers typically sell planes to prime customers at a discount.
The tanker program has been on hold for three years, after Boeing lost the contract amid an ethics scandal that resulted in prison terms for a former company executive and a former high-ranking Air Force official.

Three car bombs shatter Baghdad's oldest market
BY KIM GAMEL ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Thunderous car bombs shattered a crowded marketplace in the heart of Baghdad on Monday, triggering secondary explosions, engulfing an eight-story building in flames and killing at least 78 people in the latest in a series of similar attacks aimed at the country's Shiite majority.
The blasts in three parked cars obliterated shops and stalls and left bodies scattered among mannequins and other debris in pools of blood. Dense smoke blackened the area and rose hundreds of feet from the market district on the east bank of the Tigris River. Small fires, fueled by clothing and other goods, burned for hours in the rubble-strewn street as firefighters battled blazes in two buildings.
"Where is the government? Where is the security plan?" survivors screamed. "We have had enough. We have lost our money and goods and our source of living."
The attack appeared timed to
coincide with the first anniversary — on the Muslim lunar calendar — of the bombing of a Shite shrine in the town of Samarra north of Baghdad, an al-Qaida provocation which unleashed the torrent of sectar-
Monday, according to police reports. About 30 minutes before the attack on the market, a suicide bomber detonated an explosives vest in a crowd near a popular falafel restaurant in the nearby Bab al-Sharqi area. Nine people were killed and 19 wounded.

Nationwide, 139 people were killed or found dead in violence on

The Shite prime minister didn't flinch — though his boyhood did
The sound of two of the blasts was caught on tape as Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was delivering a speech live on television from the Cabinet building in the heavily fortified Green Zone at the end of the commemoration.
Monday's bombings wrecked the Shoria market, Baghdad's oldest, a day after joint U.S. and Iraqi forces temporarily sealed an adjacent neighborhood. The operation was part of the latest Baghdad security push to which President Bush has committed an additional 21,500 American troops. The U.S. military would not say if it had increased security patrols against potential violence on the Samarra anniversary.
"Where is the government? Where is the security plan?" survivors screamed. "We have had enough. We have lost our money and goods and our source of living."
"We have great faith in our security services, army and police who have proved that they are a real protective force for this country, and we have faith that Iraqis have real

Ambulances and pickup trucks rushed many of the 166 wounded to nearby al Kindi Hospital in the largely Shite neighborhood, which has been hit by a series of deadly bombings this year.
INTERNATIONAL British Attorney General decries Guantanamo Bay
MIAMI — Revised rules for the treatment and military trials of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp are "too little and too late" Britain's attorney general said Monday, repeating his call to close the facility.
Attorney General Lord Goldsmith said Guantanamo remains a symbol of injustice because prisoners held in the facility in Cuba cannot use American courts to protest their detention and may be convicted of crimes on the basis of coerced evidence and other means not typically allowed in civilian courts.
"There remain fundamental problems with this system of detention," Goldsmith told the American Bar Association at its meeting in Miami.
Goldsmith said the fight against
terrorists must be won not only through force, but also values and ideas.
"The presence of Guantanamo makes it so much more difficult to do this for all of us," he said.
Cmdr J.D. Gordon, a Pentagon spokesman, said the detentions have allowed interrogators to learn information to avert terrorist attacks and kept so-called enemy combatants from returning to the battlefield.
"The detainees at Guantanamo include some of the world's most vicious terrorist operatives, including those who are alleged to have planned the attacks of Sept. 11, the bombing of USS Cole and the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania." Gordon said. "We have no desire to be the world's jailer and do not hold detainees for any longer than necessary. We have been working to persuade other countries to accept their citizens."

Photos of Smith, official surface
BY MICHAEL MELIA ASSOCIATED PRESS
NASSAU, Bahamas — Photographs of Anna Nicole Smith in bed embracing the Bahamian immigration minister who approved her application for permanent residency here revoived a scandal in the islands Monday.
A private pathologist has said methadone contributed to the death of Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel in the Bahamas in September. Daniel Smith died while visiting his mother and newborn half-sister in a Bahamas hospital and an inquest into his death in the Bahamas is planned.
Two photographs published on the front page of The Tribune of Nassau Monday showed Smith and Immigration Minister Shane Gibson, both fully clothed, embracing on a bed decorated with pink flowers and a white ribbon. In one of the photos, they look into each other's eyes, their faces a couple of inches apart.
Also Monday, the son-in-law of the American developer embroiled in an ownership dispute over the Nassau mansion where Smith was living said he found methadone in her bedroom refrigerator when he went to secure the estate following her death in Florida last week.
Gibson, an elected member of Parliament from the ruling Progressive Liberal Party, has already been accused of showing Smith preferential treatment by fast-tracking her residency application last year. With general elections due this spring, many said the photographs, taken in
Smith's bedroom, could damage the ruling party.
implications."
Cassius Stuart, leader of the Bahamas Democratic Movement, said Gibson has "shamed" the Bahamas and called for him to resign.
Ron Rale, a lawyer for Smith and representative of her most recent companion, Howard K. Stern, scrambled Monday to keep control over items he said were stolen from the mansion over the weekend, including images from a computer taken from the house.
"He should do the right thing and step down," he told reporters outside Smith's Nassau residence. The BDM is a small opposition party with no seats in parliament.
Gibson did not return calls seeking comment. But government
John Marquis, managing editor of The Tribune declined to say who provided the photographs. He said he published them because of their potential political impact.
spokesman Al Dilille dismissed any suggestion of impropriety.
"Minister Gibson is a friend of Anna Nicole, and that's all a matter of public record" he said.
Rale said anyone who disseminates the items without his prior written consent "will be held liable to the fullest extent of the law."
"For the Bahamas, it's not just a salacious story," he said. "It's a story with pretty far-reaching political

End of term sees Bush altering policies
Observers were understandably taken aback during President Bush's recent goodwill visit to Wall Street, where he spoke out against the exponentially escalating salaries of Americans top corporate officers. Could this be the same Bush, the punditocracy wondered, who had long embraced the free market and whatever conditions it dictated? Was the nation's first MBA president really calling for public checks on private wages?
As it turns out, the executive pay speech was only part of a broad pastiche of surprising proposals advocated by Bush in the last few months. Bush has lately embraced and supported the causes of increased healthcare coverage, explorations of renewable and alternative energy sources and higher spending for environmental protection.
These, along with the obvious use of the military for nation-building and instituting global change, causes decried by Bush in 2000, make the president a starkly different political creature today than he was just a few years ago. If a voter had taken an Rip Winkle-esque nap after the 2000 election and had just awoken, he would hardly recognize the president.
Bush's many critics will quickly denounce his tactics as crass political opportunism, the product of a man who sees the mounting coverage of the 2008 race and has shifted his
focus to his own legacy. Cynics will recall the same strategy employed by President Clinton, who in his waning years embraced a number of conservative causes to burnish his own Oval Office accomplishments.
But in Bush's case, these evolutions of principle do not seem to be aleatory or strictly political. After all, he is not going to win any more business-sector friends by calling for salary caps. Rather, these changes reflect the developing worldview of a man confronted by new realities, and in these new ideals lie important lessons for young voters.
Presidents enter office with the highest ambitions, busiest agendas, and loftest aspirations. But the constrictive nature of the governing process requires that presidents turn instead to the tools of practicality and trappings of bipartisanship. Our nations' best leaders have been those who embrace cooperation over combat, compromise over contention, and consensus over conflict. As the focus on the 2008 election hones in on the basest and most rabid elements within each party, young voters should remember that little in American history was accomplished with the politics of division and dispute. A better future lies down the path of collaborative pragmatism, not rigid idealism.

Valentine's Day deserves celebrating by singles
There is a disconnection between dating on Valentine's Day and the other 364 days of the year. More than half of young, single adults in America are not actively searching for romantic relationships, according to a study by pewinternet.org and American Life Project. In fact, 49 percent have gone on no more than one date in the past three months. With the dating scene being more casual than ever, why do singles still feel un-entitled to celebrate Valentine's Day?
We live in a time when the prevalence of text-messaging and "hooking-up" are ever-present reminders that mating is adapting to 21st-century America. In a society in which dating has come to have significance only when proceeded with online speed or in reality TV, it's time we take this holiday into today's context.
As a single woman adapting to this normative of "dating" since hitting Mount Oread, it's natural that I've come to rely heavily relationships

So in line with the progression and development that our society has become known for and accustomed to: I'm spending time with my Valentines this year. My girls will be receiving their fresh-ink cards, my parents a special phone call and my co-workers and I will take a break to celebrate our good
working relationship. My roommate and I will enjoy a platinic evening of baking chocolate cake and ordering pizza with toppings in the shape of a heart
It's easy for singles to be disillusioned into thinking that they are in the lonely minority and not realize that conventional dating isn't so conventional in the 2007 context. Celebrate your relationships with the ones you care most about and stop expecting your Valentines to fall into a neat-tidy dating category that doesn't exist anymore. After all, who doesn't deserve to celebrate the good people in their lives?

As always, he was searching the room for a sign that someone had not read the week's assignment. All at once, he would notice a timid expression and swooping down would cry out. "You there, Mr. So."

that a good professor is more important than the name of the class. I found ratemyprofessors.com later that semester.
Now when a new semester comes around, I sit at my computer and open two tabs on my browser. The first contains the class lists put out by the university. The second is the Rate My Professors Web site. First
another class.
I find a class that sounds interesting and a time that will fit my schedule, then I check the attached professor's rating. If I find a negative consensus among students, I look for
Of course, not everyone loves this site (though few of these opponents actually take classes). They point out that it's quite possible for a student who has received a well-deserved F to slant the rankings negative. What you see is a slice of extremes: People who loved or hated a particular class, because no one else would have the motivation to leave a comment.
They're right that the comments tend to be a collection of praise and
damination for each professor, but they miss the point. We don't take a class because one cared about it. We choose a class precisely because someone raved about it or blew up in it.
To make sure Rate My Professors has actually helped me, I tested my own seven favorite professors. Sure enough, most of their overall ratings sat securely near a perfect five and only two dipped below a four.
Be wise. Don't base your decision entirely on ratings. But do use them. They may not reveal to you to the best professor in Kansas, but they do a fine job illuminating the worst.
Enjoy the classes you take while in college. If you can avoid bad professors and gravitate to the many excellent ones on this campus, do it.

Valentine's Day FOOD GUIDE
Sexy treats can conjure up love
For Valentine's Day, or anytime, some food could put lovers in the mood

serves traditional Italian cuisine.
This Valentines Day add spice to your day, literally, with some nutmeg. This is just one of many stimulating aphrodisiacs that could potentially enhance your romantic and sexual encounters.

Aphrodite
Aphrodite. She believed sparrows had an "amorous nature."
But what exactly is an aphrodisiac?
According to Locelyn Morse and Martha Hopkins, co-authors
of *InterCourses: An Aphrotrisac*
Cookbook, an aphrodisiac is, "A food that taps into most, if not all,
of the senses."
Going beyond food, American Heritage Dictionary defines an aphorasis as a "drug, potion, or other
agent that arouses sexual desire."
Overland Park sophomore Andy Lufkin just thinks an aphrodite is anything that stimulates sexual attraction. Other than his "natural charm" he admits to never having any experience with them, but is open to new ideas.
Hopkins says she has grown to enjoy the "sensuality" of an oyster. "I believe that some foods do have a physiological effect on the body Oysters, for instance, are loaded with zinc, which increases testosterone one level."
"Probably the only time I would use them is if I was going after someone that was way out of my league, but I wouldn't do anything unnatural like trying to make my johnson bigger or anything like that."
With resources such as aphrodisiac cookbooks available, making a Valentine's Day dessert is a reasonable option for impressing a date or just increasing your passion. Numerous different foods can have stimulating effects.
"I think it would be kind of special for a guy to use a recipe that included an aphrodite, but making something at all is good enough for a guy," said Julie Heschmeyer, Lawrence sophomore.
Lufkin agrees with her.
"I guess it would make me feel nice or whatever. It would be kind of cool as long as they were okay with it first," he said.
This Valentine's Day, and in daily life, feel free to take some aphroditeiac advice from the goddess of love. Spice it up with stimulating aphroditeiacs.

Top recipes to make at home
Local chefs share their secrets
BY CARLY HALVORSON
Making a special Valentine's Day for your sweetheart can be difficult with an empty wallet. Five-star restaurants aren't exactly in a college student's budget. Hopefully, the following recipes can help you out a bit. With these simple yet classy recipes, your special someone will be impressed with your skills.
Curried Pumpkin Lentil Soup
Hampshire St.
Provided by Sam Sieber Operations Manager at Pachamama, 800 New
This recipe is from their October menu. Since Pachamama's is a fine-dining restaurant, the difficulty level of each dish is fairly high. "The real dish might be a little complex for students. One of our menu items could involve seven different recipes," said Sieber.
Ingredients:
4 cups veed of mixed lemons
1-2 butternut squash
peeled, seeded, and diced
4 onions, chopped
6 tbsp. vegetable oil
20 garlic cloves, minced
4" grated, peeled, fresh ginger root
1 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. ground coriander
seeds
2 tbsp. green curry powder
toasted
14 cups chicken stock
4 cups drained canned tomatoes
To make:
In a large bowl, wash the lentils in several changes of cold water until the water runs clear. Drain them in a fine sieve. In a large, heavy saucepan, cook the onions in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until they are softened. Add the garlic and the ginger root, and cook the mixture, stirring, for one minute. Add the toasted curry, cumin and the ground coriander seeds. Cook the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring for one minute. Add the lentils, squash, chicken stock and the tomatoes. Simmer the mixture, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes,
or until the lentils and
squash are tender. Season it
with salt and pepper.
"Everyone loves creme brulee, and it is pretty easy to make," said Powers. "This is a revised recipe that should make creme brulee for two. Of course, it depends on what sized dish is being used." However, this recipe can be time consuming.
Ingredients
4 egg yolks
2 oz. (about 2 tbsp.) sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Crème Brulee
To make:
Provided by Joe Powers,
Executive Chef at Ten, 701
Massachusetts St.(at the
Eldridge Hotel)
"The final product can be topped with whatever you want," said Powers; "Berries are a classic garnish."
in a mixing bowl, whip egg yolks and sugar together until light. Heat the cream and salt to a boil and then turn off the heat. Pour half of the cream and salt mixture into the bowl with the eggs and sugar (this is called tempering). Then pour that mixture back into the sauce pot. Place the pot back on low heat and stir with a spatula or spoon to avoid scorching. Stir for three minutes. Pour the mixture back into oven-safe souffle sauce or soup bowl. Bake in water bath in conventional oven sat at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes. To make the water bath, just fill an oven-safe pan or dish with one inch of water, then place the brulee dishes in that pan or dish. The water should come up to the halfway point of the brulee dish. Let the brulees cool for two hours. Then, top with sugar and place in oven set to broiler. The heat from the top will caramelize the sugar. This should only take a couple of minutes. Serve immediately.

Steady play key to good seeding
Consistency is primary concern
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
RCOLAIANNN@KANSAN.COM
Kansas put together one of its most complete performances of the season on Saturday, because of consistent play of Julian Wright and Brandon Rush.
Those two played at the level that was expected when they were named Big 12 Preseason Players of the Year.
It was understood with the talent and depth that Kansas has, neither Rush nor Wright would score 20 or more points a night. It simply would not be possible. Coach Bill Self even said that, but those two players can still be efficient and play at the level that garnered them those pre-season accolades.
Rush put together his most efficient game of his career, going eight of 10 from the field, hitting all three of his three-point shots, and did not miss a free throw. Granted, Rush will not do that on a consistent basis, but it was a nice change of pace from the 3-for-13 games that he had been struggling with over the past month. He needs to continue his solid marksmanship down the stretch to keep defenders honest.
Wright showed why he is pro-jected to be such a high selection in the NBA draft with his timely offensive rebounds, and easy putbacks, while going 14-for-21 from the floor, good for a career high 33 points.
Kansas will need Wright and Rush to continue to be efficient if they are going to make a run in March. If not, the consistency this team has lacked is going to be a problem.
Often times, the NCAA tournament does not dictate who has played the best basketball throughout the season. Instead, it proves who is able to pay the best basketball over a three week period. Look at last year. No one is going to argue that Florida was the best team in the country for the majority of the year. They started the season off hot, but struggled down the stretch, before getting hot at the right time, and getting a favorable draw in the tournament. Then, they played better than anyone else and got the job done.
The talent is there. The desire is there. They have proven against Florida and Oklahoma State that when they play the way they are capable of, no team in America is better. It is just a matter of putting it all together.
If Kansas can find the consistency that it has lacked all season, there is no reason to think that Kansas cannot be this year's Florida.

Self hits milestone
Coach looks forward to another 300 career victories
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
In 1994, Oral Roberts coach Bill Self was not thinking about coaching milestones. He was thinking about keeping his job.
"You lose 18 in a row, and you wonder if you'll make it to the end of the season," he said.
He put those days behind him in a hurry, and on Saturday Self won his 300th game as a head coach when Kansas defeated Missouri in Columbia.
His first victory came during that 1993-1994 season, when he took the reins at Oral Roberts. Despite an
18-game losing streak, he made it though the season, and three years later the team finished with a 21-7 record and made the postseason National Invitation Tournament.
The 300th victory is a milestone one, but gets overshadowed in the Big 12 Conference by senior coaches like Bob Knight at Texas Tech, who is marching toward his 900th.
He didn't know that the Missouri game could be his 300th victory until a reporter asked him about it earlier in the week. He said that the record was more about how long he had
"I've coached for 14 years, so if I just coach 28 more, I can maybe get to 900." Self said.
"To get to 500 or 600 would mean a lot more," he said.
been around than anything else.
Self didn't even tell his players about the accomplishment, instead letting them find out on their own. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush read about it on the Internet, and junior guard Russell Robinson heard it from the assistant coaches.
"I'm happy for him, it's a big number," Robinson said. "But I think he's after the big ones.
Robinson added that Self has been able to hang around so long because of the way he interacts with

Shaq makes big plays at the buzzer
BY ASHER FUSCO
The buzer beater is one of the most exhilarating and elusive plays in all sports. When most basketball players are lucky to have one chance at a game-winner in their entire college career, senior guard Shaquina Mosley has had three such opportunities in the last two weeks alone.
Mosley's first chance to make a last second shot came on January 31st. Through 39 minutes of play, the feisty Jayhawks had managed to hang with the more talented and experienced Texas Tech Lady Raiders. Mosley was putting the finishing touches on an impressive 18 point, 11 assist, nine rebound performance.
With eight seconds remaining and Kansas trailing by one point, freshman forward Danielle McCray secured a rebound and quickly passed to Mosley. The senior guard raced down the floor but settled for a jump shot instead of driving to the basket. As the ball just short of the cylinder, she dropped to the floor in dismay.
"I thought about going to the hoop, but I pulled back." Mosley said. "I should have gone to the rim."
Less than one week later, Mosley found redemption. With Kansas
stuck in the cellar of the conference standings at 0-9. Colorado paid a visit to Allen Fieldhouse. The contest was heart-fought from the opening tip, complete with 12 lead changes, the last-of which came with five seconds remaining in overtime.
Mosley was the one responsible for Kansas' final basket and its first conference victory. Having learned a valuable lesson from her experience nearly one week earlier, Mosley decided to take the ball toward the hoop. The miniscule guard knotted quickly through the lane and converted a layup to win the game.
On the heels of its first Big 12 victory, the team traveled south to take on a strong but inconsistent Texas squad. It was in Austin, Texas that Mosley's most dramatic buzzer-breater would occur. She struggled through most of the game, and was held scoreless in the first half, but Mosley found success at the most important time.
"I thought to myself, do not sette for a jump shot." Mosley said. "I was trying to pull the defense and then kick it or finish at the rim."

Freshmen playing better, scoring more than before
BY MARK DENT
He leads the league in assists as a freshman.
He sent a game into overtime twice by making late jump shots.
He just scored 31 points and handed out six assists against Iowa State.
"He's one of those special guys," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "He's got the mentality of the point guard where he's trying to win and get everyone else involved. He has the identity I wish we could get across the board."
He's D.J. Augustin, and as good
as he is, he's not even the best rookie on his team. Anyone who hasn't been living on Mars the last two months knows that designation belongs to Kevin Durant. Durant is the headliner for the Longhorns, but Augustin and two other freshmen also play significant minutes.
Ten years ago, a team with as many young pups as Texas would have been punished by the veteran big dogs in conference play. The Longhorns would probably find themselves toward an eighth place or worse finish.

Welcome to 2007. Texas is tied for second place, and Durant is the best
player in the Big 12 and maybe the nation. Such is the reality in the Big 12 these days as freshmen have taken on a larger role than ever before.
The Longhorns are the best example of this injection of youth. Durant and Augustin have won eight of the 15 Big 12 Newcomer of the Week Honors this season. Take into account that Durant would have won another three if he hadn't been chosen Big 12 Player of the Week, and the number becomes even more absurd. In Big 12 play, Durant is averaging an insane 31 points and 13 rebounds per game. His teammate Augustin is averaging 8.5 assists per game. Two
"The thing that other people are missing out on is all their other guys." Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said. "They are a very talented team."
In addition to Mason and James, the state of Texas also produced another outstanding freshman in Kansas' Darrell Arthur.
other freshmen, Justin Mason and Damion James, are the team's fourth and fifth leading scorers.
It was apparent that Arthur would be special after just one game. Shady told everyone what his name was in the lajawhacks' first exhibition game by scoring 23 points. His numbers have dipped slightly in conference
play, but another Kansas freshman has gone up. Sherron Collins has been attacking the basket fearlessly the last month, and he recorded seven assists in both layhawk victories last week. A month ago, he and Arthur took over for Kansas down the stretch in a close victory against Missouri.
"The two freshmen scored 14 of our last 16 points." Kansas coach Bill Self said after the 80-77 victory. "I'd say those two stepped up pretty big."
Other youngsters who have stepped up this year include Iowa

Chicago Blackhawks win games, but want panache
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Chicago Blackhawks are no longer satisfied with just winning. They want to play well while doing it.
Martin Haviat had a goal and two assists and the Blackhawks scored three times in the opening period of a 5-4 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday
"It's a young team; Chicago coach Denis Savard said. "We made a few mistakes. The good thing about this is we can fix it."
Peter Bondra and Bryan Smolinski each had a goal and an assist and Patrick Sharp and Martin Lapointe also scored for the Black-hawks, who have won five of their last seven games.
A few Blue Jackets fans chanted "We want a refund!" in the third period — before their team came back with two goals to almost force overtime.

Duke finally falls out of poll

BY DOUG FEINBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dukes Top 25 streak is over.
Saddled by its first four game losing skid in 11 years, Duke fell out of The Associated Press poll Monday for the first time since the end of the 1995-96 season. The Blue Devils had been in the media poll for 200 straight weeks
the second longest streak behind UCLA.
The Bruins' run lasted 221 weeks, from the 1960-67 preseason poll to Jan. 8, 1980. North Carolina is third all-time with 172 straight weeks from the 1990-91 preseason poll to Jan. 17, 2000.
"If you do it for a long period of time, it means you've been good that long." Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said of his team's streak that began in the 1996-97 preseason poll. "We never bring it up. It's a nice sting thing."
UCLA and Memphis are now tied for the longest active streak at 34 straight weeks in the Top 25.

Florida remained a unanimous No.1 for the second straight week, garnering all 72 first place votes.
Florida beat Georgia 71-61 on Wednesday and won at then-No. 20 Kentucky 64-61 on Saturday in front of a raucous record crowd of 24,465. It was the Gators' fifth straight victory over their rivals.

NBA Celtics set new team record for consecutive losses
Easier said than done, especially when you've lost a franchise-record 18 consecutive games. The latest loss came Sunday when Ricky Davis' jumper from the corner with 0.2 seconds remaining lifted the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 109-107 victory.
"You can feel it in the locker room, each loss definitely hurts," Paul Pierce said. "These guys are going to keep playing hard. We just need to get it out of our head."
The Boston Celtics are in a record-breaking rut that has shaken their confidence and damaged the image of a once-proud franchise.
The Celtics' previous franchise low was 13 straight losses in 1993-94 and 1996-97. They've blown past that mark, and haven't won
"It is tough, the guys played so hard and deserve to win," said Pierce, who scored 29 points. "We did everything we could. Down the stretch, they made the last play"
The Utah Jazz also lost 18 straight in 1982 and seven teams have lost 19 games in a row. The Celtics still have a ways to go to get to the NBA record of 24 straight losses by the Cleveland Cavaliers, a streak that spanned the end of the 1981-82 season and start of the 1982-83 season.
since beating Memphis on Jan. 5.
But Kevin Garnett tied it with two free throws, then got a steal on the defensive end to give the Wolves a chance to win it with 3.6 seconds left.
In other NBA games, it was: Chicago 116; Phoenix 103; Seattle 114; Sacramento 103; Cleveland 99, the Los Angeles Lakers 90; Miami 100, San Antonio 85; Indiana 94, the Los Angeles Clippers 80; Portland 94, Washington 73; Dallas 106, Philadelphia 89; and Atlanta 106, Golden State 105.
At Minneapolis, the Celtics led by 10 points in the first half and 107-105 to 1:17 to play after Pierce led Al Jefferson for a dunk.

RAISE YOUR GLASSES TO... Kansas (214-822)
It's almost impossible to ask for a better week after the disappointing loss to Texas A&M. The Jayhawks didn't just beat their rivals, they
absolutely annihilated them. Kansas defeated Kansas State 97-70 last Wednesday and bettered Missouri 92-74 last Saturday. Most importantly, these victories came at a time when Kansas fans were getting restless
ALOE TOLIUM
According to coach Bill Self, the loss to A&M created a "sky is falling" feeling among the fan base. The two victories also gave confidence to the big fellas, Julian Wright, Darnell jackson, Darrell Arthur and Sasha Kaun all played well in at least one of the two games.

Iulian Wright, Kansas.
Way to go Wright. Two weeks ago
he was in the 'Oh My Gosh' section for missing a wide open dunk and faking an injury. Now look at him. Wright dropped 33 points against Missouri on 14-for-21 shooting. He was able to get most of those looks because of eight offensive rebounds. Plus, he's came full circle since that missed dunk two weeks ago. He more than made up for it by knocking down Missouri's Kalen Grimes for a thunderous dunk.

Oklahoma State has to be getting tired of these marathon games. It defeated Texas Tech in double overtime last Saturday. That victory came about three weeks after the Cowboys defeated the Longhorns.
triple overtime. But it doesn't stop there. Oklahoma State had to go extra minutes earlier this season to beat Missouri State. It's a good thing that the Cowboys (19-5, 5-4) are in good overtime, because if they weren't they would be 16-8 and on the outside looking in at the NCAA Tournament.
Third-rate third place
Kansas State and Texas are only one game behind Kansas in the Big
12 standings, but both teams are much further back in terms of skill. The Longhorns are talented, but their players stand around too much and wait for Kevin Durant to do something. The Wildcats don't have enough quality victories. They beat Texas only because they couldn't miss from three-point range and haven't defeated anyone else in the top half of the conference.
Streaking Sooners
For those who aren't familiar with the Dora watch, the Big 12 Fastbreak bet Darryl Dora, Texas Tech forward, wouldn't score in double figures for the rest of the season after scoring 18 against Kansas. This week, Dora once again kept pace. He came dangerously close by scoring nine points against Oklahoma State Saturday. But Saturday's high scoring output was understandable since he didn't even step on the floor last Monday against Nebraska.
KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON THE RACE FOR IRRELEVANCE... The Big 12 Fastbreak apologizes
The Sooners have won four games in a row and should make it five at Iowa State Tuesday, Saturday. Oklahoma has a home date against Texas A&M and could alter the Big 12 race and give it a better chance for an NCAA Tournament berth.
The Dora Watch
for the lack of Colorado criticism in this section. Stay tuned for regularly scheduled Buffalo bashing next week. For now, let's turn our attention to western Texas. Bobby Knight haters received not just one, but two special treats this week. First there was Nebraska. Let's take some time to remember how mediocre the Huskers can be. Does a 14-minute scoreless stretch ring a bell? Well, last Tuesday that same team out scored the Red Raiders by 15 in the second half and won on a last second shot that only happened because Tech's Ball Burgess accidently gave the ball to Nebraskas Charles Richardson. Texas Tech followed up that loss by blowing a seven point lead in the last 1:30 of regulation against Oklahoma State. The Raiders lost in double overtime, Tech, team that upset Kansas and Texas A&M, has now lost five games in a row and is, to describe it in word: irrelevant.

YOU PROBABLY SAID 'OH MY GOSH' ABOUT...
Kalien Grites Missouri
Julian Wright's dunk from tass Saturday's game was good, but it wasn't "Grimy." Before the Tigers fell off the face of the earth late in the first half, Mizzou fans were treated by getting to see this jam, Grimes received the ball in the lane and threw down a scary one-hander in Sasha Kaun's face. But poetic justice worked against Grimes. After all, he was the victim of Wright's dunk later in the game.

Tiger's vacation gives others chance
DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
True, one victory by Phil Mickelson still leaves him six short of the PGA Tour winning streak Woods is riding.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — For all the fuss over Tiger Woods taking another week off, perhaps the Nissan Open should consider this possibility: It still might have the hottest player in golf at Riviera.
And despite a five-shot victory at Pebble Beach, some perspective is in order.
Lefty usually wins at least once before leaving his native West Coast, and this was the 11th time in 15 seasons that he won before the PGA Tour reached Florida. Plus, the only serious competition he faced Sunday came from Kevin Sutherland and rookie John Mallinger, whose world ranking last week was, respectively, No. 256 and No. 454.
But there was something about Mickelson's game that indicated he is ready to step back into the rine.
In years past when his game has slipped a notch, Mickelson has devoted time to scoring shots — specifically, 150 yards and in — and sharpening his putting stroke by staying on the practice green until he made 100 straight putts from 3 feet.
But after the debacle at Winged Foot — not just the double bogey
on the 18th hole, but hitting only two fairway in the final round of the U.S. Open - he was consumed by becoming a better driver off the tee.
Mickelson hit 81 percent of his fairways in two rounds at Pebble Beach and one each at Poppy Hills and Spyglass. PGA Tour statistics show him missing only one fairway in his final round of 66, although he said he also missed the fairway at No. 9 by a foot.
Don't get the idea Fred Funk, a guy who picks out stripes left by the lawn mower, has anything to fear.
"I will never lead the stat in driving accuracy. Let's not overdo this." Mickelson said, "But if I could improve 20 or 25 percent in my accuracy, that's going to make a big difference in my scores."
His score at Pebble Beach was 20 under 268, tying the tournament record set by Mark O'Meara in 1997 when he won by one shot. Mickelson won by five, matching the largest margin of victory at Pebble.
Sutherland is good friends with Mickelson and sees him plenty. And he was impressed.
the longest club in his bag than he used it on the short fourth hole, which plays uphill with Stillwater Cove on the right and bunkers on the left. That's where he tried his latest shot, a low draw, and it twice set him up with the perfect angle into the green for a short wedge.
"He drove it for the most part on a string, right down the middle of the fairway." Sutherland said. "If he is driving the ball like that, there's not a player in the world that is not going to have a hard time beating him."
This is the first time he can remember hitting a tee shot and not being overly concerned when he looked to see where it was headed.
"Ive never had this type of feeling on the tee box," he said. "I just feel so confident right now."
Mickelson is so confident about
Mickelson has not played Riviera since 2001, and he hasn't played it very well. The classic design of Sunset Boulevard has tight fairways, not necessarily of the U.S. Open variety, but tight to have an optimum angle into the green. Lefty has been there eight times, never finished in the top 10 and went home four times before the weekend.
But he was so excited about his game that he said after Thursday's round of 65 at Poppy Hills that he might add the'Nissan Open to his schedule, and by Friday morning at Pebble Beach, it was a done deal.
Never mind that it will give him six straight tournaments.
"I wanted to play a little bit more competitive golf with the way I'm playing before I start my run up for Augusta." Mickelson said. "I'm looking forward to playing at Riviera. It won't be a similar style golf at Augusta, but it's pretty close to a U.S. Open."
Strangely enough, the U.S. Open is where it all started.
Mickelson didn't linger on Winged Foot because he had two majors still to play in 2006. But once he shut it down for the year, right after going 0-4-1 in the Ryder Cup, he allowed himself to reflect on his collapse and fix the problem.
Still no answers in Texas A&M ticket incident
>> 'HORN BORN, 'HAWK BRED
Officials need to clear up confusion
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
It's been nearly a week and a half since the Texas &M student ticket incident and
"We had the same number of people in Wednesday night as we did Saturday night. ...What we didn't do was a good job of managing the crowd when they came in. ...People were trying to get in through the vomitors and they couldn't because of the number of people trying to get in at the same time. So because of that log jam we had to shut the doors." Marchiony said.
the mother takes incarnation and the story has only gotten hazier. The more people I talk to about what happened, the more confused I am.
At least one thing is certain: The testimony from student eyewitnesses and Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony don't corroborate.
But Mission Hills senior Sam Stepp was outside when he and the other students were told the game in fact was oversold.
Marchiony claimed the game was not oversold.
"It took them at least 45 minutes to address the crowd. Finally they said the reason why we couldn't come in was because they had oversold the game by about, well they said several hundred tickets," Stepp said. Many other students confirmed that this happened.
If the game was not oversold, why were the students told otherwise?
"I don't know who made that announcement," Marchory said in a follow-up interview. "If it was made it was incorrect."
Stepp, who ended up inside Allen Fieldhouse after waiting in Hadl Auditorium, thought the
game was definitely oversold.
“There were no seats in that place, and considering about 200 kids had already gone home, you know that they didn't have seats for everyone.”
University Fire Marshal Bob Rombach makes the recommendation for when to stop letting people in, and he said it's not an exact science.
"For 10 years I've tried to figure out the count and I can't do it, there's no way to find out how many seats athletics sells," he said.
If the Fire Marshall doesn't know Allen Fieldhouse's limit exactly, how would Marchiony know whether they oversold that limit?
It doesn't stop there. Another of Marchiony's statements couldn't be confirmed. He later said to have "misspoke" about this, but at the time of the interview he said, "we gave an option of a refund or a GA ticket to another game. Between students and GA's we gave about 140 refunds."
With all these contradictions, do anyone know anything? Really, everyone involved, including Marchiony, is confused. The students were hoarded together, cold and angry. They were at the game, but were far from in charge of the situation. They couldn't say the reason why it all happened.
"You never want this to happen," Marchiony said. "No one wants this to happen. We hope the students realize that this has not happened before and we took immediate steps to make sure this won't happen again... It's the student's school. We can't forget that. That's why we feel so sorry about it."

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Oklahoma looks to rise out of checkered recent past
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY. Mo — After a couple weeks on the job, Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel figured he had already bottomed out.
Former coach Kelvin Sampson's messy departure amid an NCAA investigation into hundreds of illegal phone calls to recruits left the program on probation. The Sooners' top three players — Tai Gray, Kevin Bookout and Terrell Everett — had finished their careers.
Then three high-level recruits secured by Sampson suddenly
backed out of verbal commit-ments.
"That was a tough period, I'm not going to lie," said Capel, the former Duke star who came over from Virginia Commonwealth. "It was really tough for me personally. But I've always felt I don't want guys who don't want to be with me."
The ones who stuck around are suddenly turning heads
The Sooners, picked ninth in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll, have won four in a row and are 15-8 overall. Their 6-4 mark in conference play puts them fifth, not far behind NCAA bubble teams Texas
and Kansas State.
Oklahoma has the Longhorns and the Wildcats left on its schedule, along with games against Missouri and Iowa State. Throw in home games against No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 9 Kansas on national television, and the Sooners have plenty of chances to make a statement during the last three weeks of the season.
"We've won four games in a row, guys are feeling good about ourselves, but we still have to remain hungry and humble", the 31-year-old Capel said. "That's sort of been a mantra of mine."
Capel's peers in the Big 12 say Oklahoma's turnaround came in a Jan. 6 loss to Texas Tech, when forward Longar Longar pulled down a rebound and threw an elbow that fractured the eye socket of Red Raider center Esmir Rizviz.
The Sooners' leading scorer began receiving hate mail and threatening letters. Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said he didn't believe Longar should be allowed to play anymore. The Big 12 agreed, in part, by suspending him for two games.
"They had some guys step up"
Baylor coach Scott Drew said. "Nate
Carter to take Longar Longar's spot, it really added another dimension to the team"
Carter, a senior transfer from UC Riverside, has gone from averaging about 5 points per game in the non-conference to more than 19 per game in the Big 12. In last week's 67-60 bedlum upset of No. 17 Oklahoma State, he poured in 18 points and had nine rebounds.
"The key is Nate Carter." Colorado assistant Paul Graham said. "He just had a phenomenal night against Oklahoma State."
Figure in Longar's return and the resurgence of senior guard Michael

"One of the deals for us now is how do we deal with success? Strugglng through adversity is a great teacher, but also success," Capel said. "There's nothing that can help you deal with success but success itself."

The senior's improved play has not come merely in clutch situations. Since the beginning of conference play, she has been Kansas' key contributor. She has led the team in scoring with 13 points per game, while pulling down more than five rebounds per game.
The consistency of her play in recent weeks is a complete turnaround from the struggles she endured in her first season and a half at Kansas. After arriving as highly touted junior college transfer, Mosley clashed with the Kansas coaching staff and fought for playing time last season. She opened

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark.
— Norm Stewart was named national coach of the year for 1993-94. His Missouri Tigers won 28 games, and nowadays, Stewart looks back on that season with pride.
Well, most of it.
"Arkansas slipped by us by 48." Stewart said.
Stewart spoke Monday at the Downtown Tip-Off Club, and the crowd of Razorbacks fans enjoyed his recap of that blowout in December of 93. Stewart actually sold the Hogs a bit short: the final score of that game was 120-68, a 52 point margin in one of Arkansas most impressive wins en route to the '94 national championship.
But Missouri recovered and had a good season of its own, so Stewart can joke about the Tigers' ugly visit to Favetteville.
"The officials got me again,"
he said
Stewart entertained the crowd with his dry, self-deprecating humor. He was known as "Stormin' Norman" for his animated behavior on the sidelines. On Monday, he jokingly tried to dispel that reputation.
"I was a docile guy," he said, drawing a laugh.
"I sat," Stewart added, imitating a coach dozing on the bench.
"Guys would wake me up and I'd say, 'How we doing?"
Most of the time, they were doing pretty well. Stewart won 731 games in 38 seasons, the last 32 of which were at Missouri. He took the Tigers to the NCAA tournament 16 times.
Stewart was diagnosed with early stages of colon cancer in 1989 and underwent surgery and chemotherapy. Stewart has remained active in the fight against the disease — he helped found the Coaches vs. Cancer program, an outgrowth of the American Cancer Society.

TEXAS

Harry Cabluck/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas forward Kevin Durant prepares to put the ball in play during first half action in their college basketball game Jan. 2, in Austin, Texas. The coaches in the Big 12 will have to forgive Durant for turning the league into his personal playground. He just wants to have some fun here while he can.
State's Wesley Johnson, who is second in the conference in rebounding. Colorado's Xavier Silas, Nebraska's Ryan Anderson and Baylor's Tweety Carter.
Having this many freshmen compete for conference honors was unheard of in the first year of the league. Not a single first-year player was named the Big 12 Player of the Week and only two made Honorable Mention All Big 12. This year, Durant is a lock to make First Team All Big 12, and several freshmen could make honorable mention.
College basketball analysts usually point to the NBA's new age limit as the reason for the rise of play in first-year players. But that rule only affected a few freshmen such as Durant or Ohio State's Greg Oden. The rest of the big 12s and nations top freshmen weren't good enough in high school to make the NBA leap. Baylor coach Scott Drew credits better conditioning, increased strength training and the number of summer basketball games that high school
players take part in.
"Players are more experienced and in better shape than they were 15 years ago," he said. "That combination of everything is why they've been getting more minutes."
Regardless of the reason, teams, such as Texas, that are dependent on freshmen are performing at a high level. With the game of basketball getting increasingly younger, having a large amount of freshmen contributors could become the norm. And Drew believes that would be good for the conference.
"People who have seen the Big 12 play, and especially the minutes that are young guys are getting, are seeing these aren't just role players," he said. "I think the future of the Big 12 is very bright cause it's a very young league, and success with younger players bodes well for the future."

Those two players have to demand the ball in situations where the team is struggling. That will take pressure off Mario Chalmers, Russell Robinson and Sherron Collins.

Mickelson at top of game, sharp as ever Aggressive shot at end of tournament proves his renewed mettle
BY JIM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The crowds still love him, even though there's less of Leftoy to love.
Both things were apparent as Phil Mickelson strolled onto the final green at Pebble Beach to nail down career win No. 30. And why not?
Mickelson is still one of the best stories in golf, one of the two or three really magical golfers out there, and if shedding some weight is a sign he's serious about getting even better, everybody wins. Tiger gets a rival. Golf gets more buzz. We get to watch.
And if not?
Well, he's still good theater. Guys with that much talent always are.
The next-to-last shot of Mickelson's round Sunday was a nifty little pitch that flew low over a greenside bunker, landed a few feet past the flag.
then backed up and nearly went in.
Not everybody on the tour has that shot,
and only so many of them would pull it out on the final hole of a tournament, even with a five-shot lead. But that's what makes Mickelson so entertaining.
As Associated Press golf writer Doug Ferguson noted recently, he's not Len Matiace, Jean Van de Velde or Mike Reid — guys who know they've blown their only shot at a major and never recover. For all the winning he's done, Mickelson's career has been marked at least as much by disappointment. He was 0-for-12 in the big ones before he finally broke through at the 2004 Masters. And the two majors he won since — plus the one he threw away at Winged Foot last June — all came during the Tiger era, which means
"I don't really think much about that," he replied.
It's the same thing that drew most of those people to the 18th green and made the applause that little bit louder when he pulled it off. They'd come to see whether Mickelson had turned timid after last summer's spectacular last-hole collapse at the U.S. Open, whether the five mediocre performances that closed out that season and the three disappointments that began this one meant his confidence was permanently shot.
Nor should he.
All this talk about Mickelson being through was, frankly, overdone.
Mickelson is still one of the best stories in golf, one of the two or three really magical golfers out there.
"I was boping to play like this the first couple of weeks," Mickelson said after tapping in for a 6-under 66 and tying the record of 20-under Mark O'Meara set 10 years ago. "I'm glad that I finally did."
The second that little pitch shot quit dancing and Mickelson ambled up behind it, they had their answer: Not only had he shed the psychic baggage, he was anywhere from 15 to 25 pounds lighter.
Near the end of that interview, CBS reporter Peter Kostis offered Mickelson a chance to fire back at his critics.
have mattered this weekend. When Mickelson is on his game, he's a match for anyone, Tiger included. What he accomplished Sunday was just a reminder of that.
It didn't hurt Mickelson's chances that Woods had skipped Pebble Beach, though it likely wouldn't
they're worth almost twice as much.
All the great ones have thrown majors away, though none quite as often nor as spectacularly as Mickelson.
Woods is still probably kicking himself over the chunked chip and
three-putt that produced back-to-back bogeys at Pinehurst and cost him the U.S. Open in 2005. In a wide-ranging interview in this month's Golf Digest, Jack Nicklaus made it abundantly clear that he's still stewing about a few
loose shots that lost him a British Open at Royal Lytham — 34 years ago. There are similar stories about Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lee Trevino.
What his failure at the U.S. Open reminded us — and him — is that it's a different exam every time you tee it up.
"The demands on talent increase under pressure and some players don't possess the talent to get them through the hard part."
That was never Mickelson's problem. He had all the shots almost from the start of his career, just not the temperament to always string them together in the right sequence.
"The demands on talent increase under pressure." Nicklaus said in the same interview, "and some players don't possess the talent to get them through the hard part."

of just about every venue and drawing up a detailed game plan, after consultation with his several coaches, that would make any NFL franchise proud. He's tinkered endlessly with his equipment — throwing two drivers
in the bag at Augusta, four wedges at Winged Foot — and that's worked, too, up to a point.
His latest changes, though, might turn out to be the most productive. Mickelson says he's been working out in earnest, swapping flab for muscle through cardio training and martial arts. As sacrifices go, it suggests that Mickelson not only plans to be around coming down the stretch, but that he understands there's still plenty of heavy lifting left to do.
Schottenheimer fired after "dysfunctional situation" Move follows winningest season
BY BERNIE WILSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
>> NFL
SAN DIEGO — Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer was fired Monday night in a shocking move by team president Dean Spanos, who cited a "dysfunctional situation" between the coach and general manager A.J. Smith.
Less than a month after San Diego's NFL best 14-2 season was wrecked in a home playoff loss to New England, Spanos cited the exodus of both coordinators and other assistants in firing Schottenheimer. The coach had a year left on his contract and will be owed more than $3 million.
"In short, this entire process over the last month convinced me beyond any doubt that I had to act to change this untenable situation and create an environment."
"This decision was so hard because Marty has been both a friend and valued coach of our team." Spamos said. "But my first obligation is always to do what is in the best interest of our fans and the entire Charger organization. I must take whatever steps are necessary to deliver a Super Bowl trophy to San Diego. Events of the last month have now convinced me that it is not possible for our organization to function at a championship level under the current structure.
"When I decided to move ahead with Marty Schottenheimer in mid-January, I did so with the expectation that the core of his fine coaching staff would remain intact." Spanos said in a statement. "Unfortunately, that did not prove to be the case, and the process of dealing with these coaching changes convinced me that we simply could not move forward with such dysfunction between our head coach and general manager.
ESPN first reported the firing Schottenheimer didn't immediately return messages left on his office and cell phones.
"On the contrary, and in the plainest possible language, we have a dysfunctional situation here. Today I am resolving that situation once and for all."
Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was hired as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, following offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and two other assistants out of town for better jobs.
Tight ends coach Rob Chudzinski became Cleveland's offensive coordinator, and linebackers coach Greg Manusky was hired as San Francisco's defensive coordinator.
Running backs coach Clarence Shelmon, who's never been a coordinator, was promoted to replace Cameron. Shelmon accepted only a one-year contract due to what had been Schottenheimer's lame-duck status.
Although Schottenheimer said last week that change was inevitable, Smith sounded concerned, saying "Both in the same year — Wow."
Three days after the 24-21 playoff loss to New England, Schottenheimer declined the team's offer of a $4.5 million, one-year extension through 2008, which came with a club-option $1 million buyout. Spanos and Smith seemed visibly angry that the coach turned them down.
Schottenheimer has been at odds with Smith since the 2005 season, apparently over personnel decisions by the GM.
With a regular-season record of 200-126-1 with Cleveland, Kansas City, Washington and San Diego. Schottenheimer is the most successful coach never to have reached the Super Bowl.
He plans to approach the Blue Devil's next game — Wednesday at Boston College — in much the same fashion as he always does.
NCAA BASKETBALL Duke loses four straight; Krzyzewski not rattled
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Mike Krzyezewski knows all about winning streaks and dominating the Atlantic Coast Conference. It had been 11 years since Duke's head coach experienced the sensation of losing four in a row, however.
"One thing you have to do when you're a coach or a player is keep a positive attitude, prepare, fight and attempt to win the next time no matter what," Kryzezwski said after a 72-60 loss to Maryland on Sunday.
"We've been in that position coming off many wins over the years. Now we're in that position coming off four straight losses. You have to figure it out. The one thing you can't do is feel sorry for yourself."
James Gist had 16 points and 10 rebounds, freshman Greivis
Vasquez scored a season-high 18,
and Maryland forced 17 turn-
overs in handing No. 16 Duke
its most lopsided defeat of the
season.
The Terrapins (18-7, 4-6) trailed early before taking control with a 29-4 run in the first half, then used a late surge to hold off a comeback bid by the skidding Blue Devils (18-7, 5-6).
Josh McRoberts scored 20 points and Greg Paulus had 12 for Duke. The Blue Devils' previous three losses were by a combined nine points, but this turned out to be Duke's most lopsided ACC defeat since a 14-point loss to Wake Forest in February 2003.
"Of the four games, the other three we had a chance to win." Krzyzewski said. "This game, something a little more extraordinary had to happen for us to win."
Duke's last four-game losing streak was from Jan. 3-13, 1996.
After the final buzzer, the Maryland fans didn't rush the court — an indication, perhaps, of Duke's fall from elite status.

Harry, the only Dandie Dinmont, secures victory
BY BEN WALKER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Bill Cosby's terrier bounced into the show ring, wagging his tail a mile a minute. Harry walked onto the green carpet at Madison Square Garden as if he had no competition — in fact, he didn't.
Of the 2,628 entries at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, little Harry was the only Dandie Dinmont. So he merely needed to take a leisurely stroll to win best of breed Monday.
"It's kind of a luxurious feeling," star handler Bill McFadden said. "The breed judging can be the hardest part."
"He loves to show. He walked in, heard the crowd and it was like, 'Oh, I'm here.' he said.
The 6-year-old Harry is royalty in the show world and fitshely, he's named for Prince Harry. He's playful and a bit of a mischief maker — much like his namesake.
He's also the No. 1 show dog in America, winning 57 events last year. And that makes him a top favorite at the No. 1 dog show in the country.
A toy poodle bred in Japan, an English springer spaniel that won the recent AKC/Eukanuba event, a top Sealyham terrier and a precious Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen also were among the main contenders for best in show, to be presented shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday.
Westminster is a champions-only show for purebreds, and many dogs

Rufus, whose perfect football-sized nuggin made him head of the class last year, has retired. Vivi, the 3-year-old whippet who ran away at Kennedy Airport last February right after winning a ribbon, is still missing.

Dandie, or whatever you call him," asked a lady sporting a huge diamond ring.
Behind her, a bevy gut wearing a paint-splattered 1' shirt crammed his neck for a closer view. "Where is he?" he said.
Alan Lazar was in town from Boston with his two daughters. He was eager to spy Harry, too.
"Actually, I've never seen one," he said. "I wouldn't know him if I saw him."
Dandies tend to be rare, and their breeders are selective. Only four Dandies showed at Westminster last year; this time, no one dared challenge Harry.
Off to the side, McFadden kneeled to comb Harry's legs and apply hairspray while an assistant stood nearby. Even though his dog was guaranteed a win in a walkover, McFadden was taking no chances before entering the ring.
Cosby was out of town because of a commitment, but Harry had plenty of support. Judge Betty-Anne Stemmark put him through the routine pace, smiling and joking with McFadden the whole time.
It took only two minutes for Stenmark to point to the winner's stand. Harry jumped up, putting his paws on McFadden's legs.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, right, reacts to the crowd as he and his sons Garrett, left, and Britt, center, walk off the field after the Eagles beat the New York Giants 24-21, Dec. 30, 2001 in Philadelphia. Reid will take a temporary leave of absence through the middle of March to deal with family issues, team officials announced Monday. Reid's decision comes less than two weeks after two of his sons, Garrett and Britt, got into separate legal trouble on the same day.
Eagles coach takes break
BY ROB MAADDI ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Eagles coach Andy Reid will leave the team for a month to deal with family issues, a decision that comes less than two weeks after two sons got into sepa- rate legal trouble on the same day.
The team said the leave of absence will last until mid-March ___
"He's not going to come into the office, but he will be available for calls and to collaborate and he will be

here if we have free agents in for a visit." Eagles president Joe Banner said Monday. "He will retain final say over whatever we do."
The Eagles have 11 unrestricted free agents, notably wide receiver Donte' Stallworth and backup quarterback Jeff Garcia.
Reid, who is also the team's head of football operations, will miss the NFL scouting combine and the start of free agency. Teams may begin voluntary offseason workouts March 19. Reid plans to attend the NFL owners' meetings in Arizona in late March, and will be back for the NFL draft April 28-29.
"Before any of this happened, we had finalized our own plans on our free agents and we had put together our preliminary plans on players we would be interested in," Banner said.
General manager Tom Heckert and the team's assistant coaches will handle the interviewing of players at the scouting combine in Indianapolis, though Reid might be able to meet with
some players at another time.
Garrett Reid. 23, tested positive for heroin after he caused a traffic accident Jan. 30, police said. No charges have been filed, but prosecutors are looking at the case. Police have said he could be charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor.
Britt Reid, 21, was arraigned on drug and weapons charges. He is accused of pointing a handgun at another driver following a dispute and faces a felony charge of carrying
a firearm without a license as well as misdemeanor charges of lying to authorities, simple assault, making terroristic threats and possession of a controlled substance.
Andy Reid has led the Eagles to the playoffs six times, including four trips to the NFC championship game and one Super Bowl, in eight seasons as head coach. He'd dealt with several challenges the past two seasons from the Terrell Owens' soap opera and a series of key injuries in 2005 to losing five-time Pro Bowl quarterback Donovan McNabb in Week 11 this past season.
Despite McNabb's injury, the Eagles won their final five games behind Garcia, finished 10-6 to capture their fifth NFC East title in six years and reached the second round of the playoffs. Many considered it Reid's best coaching job in Philadelphia. Players credited his steady approach for helping them overcome a difficult midseason stretch and the injuries to McNabb and star defensive end levon Kearse.

"People deal with circumstances in life of all different kinds and still carry on their careers and professions, and that's the kind of guy Andy is." Banner said.
Chiefs sign former Jayhawk, 13 others
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs agreed to terms with 13 reserve and future free agents including three cornerbacks and a fifth-round draft pick at quarterback, the team announced Monday.
Players who signed two-year contracts include safety Robb Butler; fullback Greg Hanoian; defensive tackle Brian Howard; guard Rob Hunt; quarterback Omar Jacobs; tight ends Adam Johnson and Keith Willis; defensive end Monte Murphy; cornerbacks Zach Norton,
Dimitri Patterson and Justin Phinisse; and linebackers Nick Reid, a former KU linebacker, and Timi Wusu.
Norton was on the Chiefs practice squad for their AFC wild card game at Indianapolis last season. He was drafted out of Cincinnati as a rookie free agent with Baltimore in 2004.
The Chiefs are hoping that Norton, Dimitri or Patterson could step up and help strengthen the Chiefs' struggling secondary.
Patterson entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Washington in 2005 after playing at Southeast
Jacobs will get a chance to prove himself at quarterback, studying under the aging Trent Green. The Bowling Green standout began his NFL career as a fifth-round draft pick with Pittsburgh in 2006, but he was released before the start of the regular season.
Phinisee spent 2006 on the Chiefs practice squad and originally entered the NFL as a Tampa Bay Buccaneers draft pick out of Oregon.
Missouri State and the Tuskegee Institute. He played in three games for the Redskins and had one interception.

Cheating stumps officials Crew chiefs usually punished, but drivers could be next
BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Suspending a crew chief for the Daytona 500 hasn't seemed to deter teams from cheating. Maybe its time to throw out the driver, too.
Three teams failed inspection Sunday during qualifying for the biggest race of the season. If it's determined they deliberately skirted the rules, it will prove teams didn't get the message when NASCAR sent crew chief Chad Knaus home after cheating while preparing Jimmie Johnson's car a year ago.
But what lessons could they have learned? With Knaus banned from the track for four weeks, Johnson still won the Daytona 500 — the Super Bowl of racing — and a second event two weeks later.
Then he capped the season by winning the Nextel Cup title.
So don't blame the crew champions for Kasey Kahne, 2003 cup champion Matt Kenseth and new Toyota team owner Michael Waltrip — the three drivers who failed to make it past NASCAR's inspectors Sunday.
Blame NASCAR instead.
Crew chief's get suspended, drivers get fined points and cash, but the infractions continue to pile up. Sure, series officials scowl in the inspection bay, and president Mike Helton looms like a gun-toting sheriff in a bad western movie.
Spokesman Jim Hunter insists NASCAR is fed up with the rule breakers. Still, cheating also is celebrated as a quant piece of NASCAR culture. If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin', right?
IF NASCAR is serious about end-ing cheating, suspending the driver — the team's most high-profile member — just might do it.
Outrageous? Maybe. But suspending a driver for a crew's cheating would force the sport's biggest stars to keep a closer eye on those who put their race cars together.
It's one thing to suspend a crew chief. It's quite another to send home a star who keeps fans in the stands and glued to the TV.
NASCAR argues suspending drivers would punish fans. But if fans got mad about a driver's suspension, it would create more pressure on teams not to cheat.
Because today's NASCAR has progressed so far from the days when a driver built his own car and changed his own engine, officials say the crew chief, not the driver, should pay the price when things aren't right.
is in control of the mechanical part of the race car, and that's the crew chief," competition director Robin Pemberton said. "For now, we are content going down the avenue of holding that person responsible"
In more cases than not, it's plausible the driver doesn't have a clue what his crew is doing. Maybe that's the problem.
"We have someone who we know
Another problem: Where's the line between flagent cheating, working the margins of the rule book and a simple mistake?
NASCAR isn't even sure the three teams questioned Sunday we're cheating.
Waltrip, a two-time Daytona 500 winner, had a suspicious substance in the intake manifold of his new Toyota Camry that NASCAR officials didn't recognize. So they seized the part and shipped it back to North Carolina, where a team of inspectors spent Monday examining it.
Waltrip's car also was impounded, and NASCAR hasn't decided when — or even if — it will give the Camry back. Once officials figure out what the substance was, NASCAR will have a hard time figuring out why the substance was there and whether it was put there on purpose.
Same goes for Kahne and Kenseth, who had holes in their cars' wheel wells. Was it cheating or a careless mistake?
Ray Evernham, who owns Kahne's car, said Monday the holes were a minor infraction that doesn't qualify as cheating.
Still, Evernam expects crew chief Kenny Francis to get hit with a suspension when NASCAR hands out its penalties.
"NASCAR saw the holes in inspection and told my guys to tape them up. They were taped, but the tape came off," Everham said. "I don't know why they made such a big deal about it. It was not an aerodynamic device or something that was built to fool them."
Pemberton said NASCAR still was discussing Monday how to properly punish cheaters this season but indicated the penalties would be tough. After Knaus and Slugger Labbe, then Dale Jarrett's crew chief, were suspended early last season, Pemberton said teams were on their best behavior.
Now it's time to get the garage back in order. Again.
"It looks like we've got to get their attention," he said.
Sending drivers home certainly would do it.

If one student committee has its way, the University's long-standing rivalry with Missouri will soon become less vulgar.
The Student Athlete Advisory Committee met Monday to discuss ways to discourage fans from wearing "Muck Fizzout" shirts at upcoming basketball games.
"I'm as much against Missouri as anyone, but we just want to make it more healthy," Pryor said. "We're better than that as a school."
At the College GameDay production during the lajayhawks' game against Texas A&M earlier this month, ESPN avoided filming students wearing the shirts.

Referred bill vote could raise fees
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Today and Thursday students are voting on two referendums that would allow KU on Wheels to purchase 30 modern, but used, buses and allow a fare-free bus system for campus. Jessica Mortinger, Student Senate Transportation board member, said.
A special election begins today that could significantly increase student fees next year.
Each referendum includes a fee, the new bus fee would be $20 and the fare-free system fee would be $15. If both referendums pass, student fees will increase $35 per semester on the Lawrence campus, Mortinger said.
Not all student fee increases get a special election or a campus-wide vote. A referendum sends a question to a student vote.
"A significant increase to student fees should be sent to referendum." Andrew Payne, Senate student executive chair said, referring to the Senate rules and regulations book.
"Finance usually isn't as willing to raise fees so easily." Paine said.
Referendums are typically placed on a bill during committee meetings with the finance committee being the most likely to place a referendum on a bill.
Even with a referendum, a student vote doesn't always take place. The Senate has the ability to drop a referendum during full Senate meetings, and such a case presented itself this semester.

Blogs play vital role in elections
BY TYLER HARBERT
Future elections may not be won solely by exceptional television commercials and memorable stump speeches.
Five experts from the blogging community think their media is already playing a much larger part in swaying, and informing, the American public. The bloggers spoke on Tuesday night at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics, located west of the Lied Center.
"They're changing every aspect of our culture and society, even our
politics", said David D. Perlmutter, associate dean of graduate studies and research in journalism.
Last night, Permutter moderated the discussion "Blog to the Chief: The Impact of Political Blogs on the 2008 Election," which was part of the 2007 Presidential Lecture Series at the Dole Institute.
"The most important lesson from the past two election cycles is that this isn't a static media," said Joan McCarter, contributing editor at www.dailykos.com, a political blogging Web site.
McCarter was joined by fel
low bloggers Jerome Armstrong, co-author of "Crashing the Gate; Netroots, Grassroots and the Rise of People-Powered Politics;" Erick Erickson, managing editor at www.RedState.com, Patrick Hynes, president of New Media Strategies, an online intelligence, brand promotion and brand protection company; and Scott Johnson, co-founder of "Power Line" blog.

Tommy Towle
BY HALI BAKER
Before long, Towle had moved from basic shots to making up his own. He didn't want his skills to go unnoticed, so in the summer of 2005, he recorded a video of his shots. The video inspired Stephen Burtin, Topeka sophomore and Towle's long-time friend, to help Towle tape a second clip.
Burtin and Towle collaborated to create a stunt, and the two filmed the video in December 2006. On a whim, Towle submitted the video to Break.com, a Web site for user-submitted videos.
shooting.
When Topeka sophomore Tommy Towle looks at a pool table, he sees more than a game; he sees an opportunity to work on his talent — trick
He became fascinated with the game and started watching pool on ESPN, where he came up with the idea to try trick shots.
Towle was only about eight years old when he and his older brother, Tony, started playing pool against each other for fun. Eventually, Towle's friends joined the game.
To his amazement, the video won a $2,500 prize, which he split with Burtin.
One of Towel's best experiences was when Jennifer Barretta, one of the world's top female 9-ball players, came to Topela last year.
Towle, who said he is a big fan of Barretta', arrived an hour before she was scheduled to play.
He was able to compete with her, and he even defeated her twice. Towle said he wasn't anywhere near professional level, though, because the two played about 20 games.
Towle said he was not able to play pool as much anymore because he has to focus on his studies.

>> SEXUAL RESPONSIBILITY WEEK
Center uses holiday to promote safety
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Whether tonight is spent with that special someone or not, the Wellness Resource Center is sponsoring Sexual Responsibility Week by handing out safer-sex kits and educating about sexually transmitted infections through Thursday.
Stacey Shields, Wellness Resource Center intern, said Valentine's Day provided "added pressure and an expectation of what you're supposed to do." She said the importance of this week was to give information as an option.
Sexual Responsibility Week is a part of the BACCHUS Network, which created specific calendar weeks that were designed for student health organizations to promote safe lifestyle decisions about issues such as alcohol and sexual health.
National Condom Day is ironically Feb. 14, said Matt Agan, coordina
tor of Sexual Responsibility Week.
Volunteers have been handing out free kits that include condoms, liquid lubricant and educational information on how to use a condom and sexual transmitted infections at a Health Hut display on campus.
Shields said many people don't use condoms while sexually active because they don't know how to use them or don't want to trek to the store and purchase them.
To educate on condom use, four penis models were displayed prominently in the center of the Health Hut. The penis models were used for races between friends, to see how fast each could put a condom on correctly. Students could wear beer goggles during the races to show how much harder it was to put the condom on accurately.
"The display will definitely catch your eye." Shields said. "It's getting over the stigmatism of being scared

or intimidated of the issue."
Despite some confused looks, Agan said that he handed out 300 safer-sex kits Monday and had quite a few people participate in the condom races.
"Some people were a little weirded out by the condom races, but others said, 'this is cool, this is fun.' Agan said.
This was not a new idea for the Wellness Resource Center. Each
year, the center has worked to sponsor a week of events that support sex education and responsible sexual activity.
Bridget Monahan, wellness director of Student Health Services, said each year the center has improved its activities.
"We decided to make it fun and functional," Monahan said. "The week's events appeal to students because it's a small amount of information at a time."
Protect-a Sweetheart kits are also available in the Watkins Memorial Health Center pharmacy. These kits cost $5 and include five condoms, a small bottle of lube, hand sanitizer and a dental dam. Watkins also sells three condoms for 50 cents.

>> BOARD OF EDUCATION
Evolution-friendly standards adopted for public schools
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — New, evolution- friendly science standards for Kansas' public schools were adopted Tuesday by the State Board of Education.
The new guidelines reflect mainstream scientific views of evolution and represent a political defeat for advocates of "intelligent design," who had helped write the older standards being jettisoned.
The state has had five sets of standards in eight years, with anti- and pro-evolution versions, each doomed by the seasewaking fortunes of socially conservative Republicans and a coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans. The moderate bloc had a 6-4 majority after elections last year; conservatives prevailed when the board adopted
anti-evolution guidelines in 2005.
That back-and-forth brought Kansas international attention and ridicule whenever evolution skeptics prevailed, even though other states have seen such debates.
CITY COMMISSION
The board on Tuesday removed language suggesting that key evolutionary concepts — like a common origin for all life on Earth and change in species creating new ones — were controversial and being challenged by new research. Also approved was a new definition of science, limiting it to the search for natural explanations of what's observed in the universe.
"Those standards represent mainstream scientific consensus about both what science is and what evolution is," said lack Krebs, an Oskaloosa math and technology teacher who helped write the new guidelines.
Study to address homeless concerns
BY MATT ERICKSON
The city commission agreed Tuesday night to hold a study session later this year on improving Lawrence's services and housing for the homeless.
The study session would include the city commission and the Community Commission on Homelessness, as well as input from Steve Ozark, a local advocate for homeless causes.
Is this something we're going to
Ozark went before the commission Tuesday night to request the study session, which would look at ways to include improved homeless concerns in the city's 2008 budget. Ozark said that helping Lawrence's poor and homeless had fallen too low on the city's list of priorities.
turn a blind eye to, as we build new parks every quarter-mile and build new roundabouts?" Oark said.
Ozark said Lawrence's homeless population could also use more help from the University of Kansas and its students. He said the School of Social Welfare had made contributions, but he said KU students could do much more to provide help for Lawrence's homeless population.
"There's so much more potential with students in Lawrence," Ozark said.
"Year after year, we go without really solving the problem of the

homeless persons here in Lawrence"
Roy said.
She said a study done by Lawrence homeless services found that more than 400 homeless people live in Lawrence.
Ozark said some Lawrence residents misunderstood this homeless population. In January, he asked the commission for a citywide vote on the issue of homeless funding, but he said he no longer wanted a public vote because he realized the idea of increased funding might not be popular.
Some people have the false impression that homeless people choose their own fate, he said.
"Our middle-class biases take us far outside the realm of people that come from this life," Ozark said "There's nobody me meeting on
the street who's having any kind of party."
Ozark said the city must provide housing and personalized social services to the homeless in order to rehabilitate them. Many of them suffer from mental illness and addiction, he said, and close personal interaction with case workers is key.
He said the city employed four case workers to work with the homeless and poor, but each worker has about 35 clients — nearly triple the number he said was usually recommended. He said this hampered the city's ability to fully rehabilitate people.

Don't you forget about the '80s
Dancers take to the stage during the NEON dance party Thursday night at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire. The Neon dance party is an ongoing event on Thursday nights and is open to those 18 and older.
The Bottleneck brings back the fun trends and tunes that just won't go away

BY JACQUE LUMSDEN
Many may have thought, or once hoped, they retired their leggings forever. Recent trends, however, are climbing into the attic, retrieving childhood clothing, and begging for a little more stretch. This comeback is one of many 80s crazes that is sweeping the nation. Leggings, large headbands, chunky shoes and big
earrings have made their way into wardrobes on campus.
The '80s-style effects on current outfits may only apply to minor details and accessories for many college students. However, there is one place in Lawrence where scrunchies, side ponytails and fluorescent colors fit right in. The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire, features a time warp back to the '80s
every Thursday night
The bright lights, loud music and social environment make the party known as Neon, a hot spot on any Thursday night.
The fun outfits combined with old school dance moves set the party apart from any other venue in Lawrence on Thursday night.

"Most people coming to Neon come exclusively for Neon, and not to many shows." Potter said. Aimee Slater, Shawnee Mission sophomore, described Neon as "a place to see a lot of people outside of the school environment."

He said Howard Dean was the only candidate fully utilizing the new media three years ago.
"This time it's the exact opposite," Armstrong said. "It's a much more competitive landscape."
He said candidates had always tried to be where people were and blogs were a way for the general public to reach politicians and also provide a forum for politicians to gage public opinion. Johnson said public opinion no longer needed to travel through a middleman to reach candidates.
The panelists also discussed some values they see in the emerging media, like fact-checking and linking information via the Internet.
The speakers said some downsides of blogs included how they tended to be politically slanted one way or the other and how they were more capable of catching and sensationalizing political blunders.

"People on the Internet do vote," Armstrong said.
The panelists said the influx of social-networking Web sites also contributed to the blogging community and the political sphere.

Bombs erupt in Lebanon
BY SAM F. GHATTAS ASSOCIATED PRESS
EIN ALAQ, LEBANON — Bomb blasts killed three people on commuter buses Tuesday and lawmakers blamed Syria, stirring fears of clashes between Hezbollah and government supporters at a massive rally planned to mark the assassination of Lebanon's former prime minister.
The explosions stoked tears of more turmoil as an already tense Lebanese capital braced for Wednesday's commemoration for Rafik Hariri. A huge rally was planned at his grave — just feet from ongoing opposition protests seeking to topple the government.
Lebanon has been hit by a string of bombings the past two years that many government supporters blame on Syria. Syria has denied any role in the attacks, including the suicide truck bombing that killed Harrii and 22 others on Feb. 14, 2005. Outrage over the assassination forced Damascus to withdraw its troops from Lebanon two months later, ending a 29-year presence.
After Tuesday's blasts, the progovernment majority coalition in parliament said in a statement that it holds "the Syrian regime fully responsible for this despicable crime." It accused Syria of trying
to "make Lebanon another Iraq
destroying its security and stability
The coalition called on the Arab League to impose sanctions against members of the Syrian regime and demanded U.N. troops be deployed along the Lebanon-Syria border "to halt the flow of arms to subversive groups directly linked to this regime" — a reference to pro-Syrian groups.
The bombs Tuesday ripped through two commuter buses traveling on a busy mountain highway northeast of Beirut, killing three and wounding 20, police said.
Witnesses at Ein Alaq, a village in pine-wooded mountains a 30-minute drive northwest of Beirut, said the first bomb exploded in a bus around 9 a.m. As people rushed to the scene, a second explosion, about 10 minutes later, tore through a second bus that had driven up.
The buses were carrying people to work, and witnesses said they pass at 10-minute intervals, ferrying people from Christian mountain villages to the coast and Beirut while stopping along the way for whoever hails them or wants to get off.
Pro-government groups said the attacks were intended to scare people away from Wednesday's rally for Harrii, who was an opponents of neighboring Syria's interference in
Lebanese affairs. They were adamant the gathering would not be canceled.
"We will hunt down the criminals and confront them," the U.S. backed prime minister, Fuad Saniora, vowed in a televised speech Tuesday evening. "We will not back down in our search for truth. We will remain intent on preserving national unity."
None of the perpetrators have been caught in the string of bombings the past two years, which killed and maimed a number of anti-Syrian figures and have occasionally struck public areas. The blasts have fueled tensions amid Lebanon's escalating political power struggle, in which the opposition, led by the Syrian and Iranian-backed Hezbollah, has vowed to bring down Saniora's government.
President Emile Lahoud, a staunch pro-Syrian who has sided with the opposition, said the bombings sought to undermine efforts to reach compromise between bitterly split Lebanese factions.
"Every time the Lebanese seem close to an agreement, enemies of Lebanon commit another crime," Lahoud said in a statement.
The potential for violence was high even before the bombings because of a wire barrier separating the protest and the rally.

The wireless Internet bill previously had a referendum attached that would send it to a student vote in the April elections. The referendum was dropped during the Senate meeting on Jan. 31, allowing senators to pass the bill.
The Senate will consider another bill with an attached referendum at tonight's bieweekly meeting. The bill calls for an increase in student fees for the Multicultural Resource Center by $1.75 per semester.
Students currently pay $3.50 per
semester for the MRC construction fee, Payne said.
The proposed fee is split into $1.50 for services, operations and programs for the MRC and $2.25 for a long-term maintenance fund, according to the bill.
It is possible that the referendum on the MRC bill could be dropped during the Senate meeting tonight. If the referendum is dropped, Senate could pass the bill or it could fail.
If the MRC bill passes Senate tonight and both transportation referendums pass, students could pay an additional $41.75 per semester, including the wireless Internet fee.
"There is a good chance that a bill involving a SafeBus fee will go to referendum." Payne said.

>> CIA LEAK
Libby, Cheney won't testify Lawyers continue with story of overworked defendant
BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — 1. Lewis "Scooter" Libby abandoned plans to testify in his own defense and to call his former boss, Vice President Dick Cheney, to help defend him in the CIA leak trial.
The announcement in U.S. District Court Tuesday by defense attorney Theodore Wells came after several days in which Libby's attorneys had inched in that direction.
Defense attorneys put in nearly two hours of testimony Tuesday from Cheney's current national security adviser, John Hammah, about how busy Libya was in 2003 with the war in Iraq and other pressing national security issues while serving Cheney as both national security adviser and chief of staff.
The formal reversal in their announced tactics prompted judge Reggie Walton to advise them the decision would limit how far they could go in using memory flaws as Libby's defense to perjury and obstruction charges.
Informed of Libby's decision, Walton said. "I understood the defense was going to be that these issues were of such significance that they so overwhelmed him so it was
Libby is charged with lying to the FBI and a grand jury about his talks with reporters concerning Plame and obstructing the investigation of how her identity leaked in 2003. Libby says his memory failed him.
reasonable for him to forget" when he first learned that war critic Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, worked for the CIA.
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald complained to the judge there would be little more than "a semantic difference" between what the defense could argue. He moved to exclude three defense witnesses who would discuss terrorist threats mentioned in the CIA briefing book for Libby and Cheney during key weeks of 2003.
Walton agreed to admit those classified details only if Libby testified how much the topics consumed his attention and Fitzgerald could cross-examine him about them, the prosecutor argued.
Walton decided to rule Wednesday on whether the three briefers could resitify.
Libby acknowledges he learned about Plame's work at CIA from Cheney on June 12, 2003, but claims he forgot it and thought he was hearing it for the first time from NBC reporter Tim Russert on July 10.
Rassert testified he and Libby never discussed Plame at all.
Tuesday afternoon with the jury out of court, Wells told Walton that he had advised Cheney's lawyer during a break that the vice president's testimony would not be needed. Wells then said Libby had accepted his recommendation to rest his case this week without testimony from Libby.
In December, Wells had announced he would call Cheney. Cheney himself said in recent interviews he expected to testify. Libby, too, once seemed a likely witness. Pretrial documents said he would testify how much national security issues weighed on his mind.
Putting Cheney on the stand would have opened him to cross-examination about his efforts to rebuil Wilson's criticism of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq. Wilson said his CIA-sponsored trip to Niger in 2002 debunked a report Iraq was trying to buy uranium there, but that Bush nevertheless used it in his 2003 State of the Union speech.
Earlier Tuesday, Hannah testified that Libby's workday extended from 6:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. Libby regularly moved through a raft of briefings and top-level meetings about the Iraq war, terrorist threats, nuclear programs in Pakistan and Iran and even the nation's defenses against biological attacks, Hannah said.

On cross-examination, Fitzgerald turned Libby's busy schedule against his defense.
"If he gave someone an hour or two during that week, it would be something Mr. Libby thought was important," Fitzgerald said, noting that Libby found time to meet with New York Times reporter Judith Miller. At a two-hour meeting, Miller testified. Libby told her Plane worked for the CIA.

on placing restrictions on where sex offenders can reside. If local governments want to place restrictions, they should have that right," said Wagle (R-Wichita).
Vratil said studies in Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota have shown buffer zones really don't work.
Local control removed
》 LEGISLATURE
Ban on residency restrictions of sex offenders extended
"They don't accomplish the desired effect," Vratil said. "Studies show offenders don't offend in the areas where they live, which makes residency requirements kind of ridiculous."
BY CARL MANNING ASSOCIATED PRESS
But the issue of local control was why Sen. Susan Wagle voted against the bill.
Among those voting for the bill was Sen. Jay Emler, who said he was convinced that residency restrictions don't work.
"In some small communities, if you put that into play, it would put these persons in the middle of a field," said Emler (R-Lindsbore).
He said studies also have shown such restrictions could result in offenders not registering with law enforcement officials as required or moving to rural areas where it's easier to avoid the law.
Last year, the Legislature imposed a ban on local governments establishing buffer zones for registered sex offenders until June 30, 2008. The bill passed by the Senate extends that an additional year and Vratil (R-Leawood), said he expects legislators eventually will make the ban permanent.
"I know it's politically advantageous to say we need to keep sex offenders away from schools and parks. But when we know the facts, we know it's counterproductive; said Senate Judiciary Chairman
The 32-8 vote sends the measure to the House, where its judiciary Committee is considering a bill to abolish such restrictions for cities and counties.

"It restricted local governments
TOPEKA — A ban on local governments restricting where sex offenders can live would be extended an additional year under a bill passed Tuesday by the Senate. Supporters said that while restrictions sound like a good idea, they really aren't.

Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata speaks to reporters about a bill that would move California's 2008 presidential primary from June to February in Sacramento, Calif., on Tuesday. The state Senate on Tuesday approved the bill to give the most populous state a larger say in national politics. California would join at least nine states that have or are considering moving their presidential primaries to Feb. 5.
U.S. suspects Iranian aid to insurgents
IRAQ WAR
BY PAULINE JELINEK ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration struggled Tuesday to explain what it knows about alleged Iranian interference in Iraq after the Pentagon's top general appeared to contradict a recently released military dossier on the subject.
At issue was a weekend briefing in Baghdad at which three senior U.S. military officials said that the "highest levels" of the Iranian government had ordered the smuggling into Iraq of high-tech roadside bombs that have been killing American soldiers.
Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters in the Indonesian
"I have no idea who may be actually with hands-on in this stuff, but I do know this is not helpful to the situation in Iraq."
capital, Jakarta, that U.S. forces have arrested Iranians in Iraq and some of the materials used in roadside bombs had been made in Iraq.
The assertion of Tehran's involvement, made by U.S. officers who spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday in Baghdad, had already drawn skeptical responses from some lawmakers and other critics still wary of an administration that based the invasion of Iraq on faulty intelligence.
Defense experts said Pace's comments _ and the way the dossier had been presented to reporters anonymously _ cast doubt on how solid the administration case is against Iran. Some suggested the apparent mixed messages were meant to keep Tehran off guard.
John Hutson, a retired former Navy judge advocate general and
dean of the Franklin Pierce Law School, said, "I think we have to take away from it a huge dose of caution."
ADM. WILLIAM FALLON U.S. Navy
Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman said Tuesday he could not explain the apparent contradiction and referred questions to Pace's office and to American forces in Baghdad.
A military official on Pace's staff said the general stands by his comments. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was
not authorized to speak on the record.
Asked if Pace had vetted the information that went into Sunday's briefing, the official said that Pace was aware of what was going to be presented in Baghdad but
that the comment about involvement at the highest levels of Iranian government was not included in the material Pace was given.
"I have no idea who may be actually with hands-on in this stuff, but I do know that this is not helpful to the situation in Iraq," said Navy Adm. William Fallon.
White House spokesman Tony
Snow said that he had phoned Pace on Tuesday and that there was no disagreement.
He said Pace agreed with the basic scenario spelled out by U.S. military officials on Sunday and then backed up by the White House _ that weapons are moving into Iraq through the Iran's Revolutionary Guards elite Quds Force.
Sunday's briefing had been some time in the making. The administration moved to put together its information after Tehran demanded the United States present evidence of its allegations, Defense officials in Baghdad had first put together a larger dossier, but it was rejected by Defense Secretary Robert Gates and other administration officials who questioned some of the information in it.
"The Quds Force is, in fact, an official arm of the Iranian government and, as such, the government bears responsibility and accountability for its actions, as you would expect of any sovereign government." Snow told White House reporters.
"Questions remain, questions have not been answered," said Christopher Preble, an analyst at the CATO Institute, a libertarian research group, also noting the unidentified sources at Sunday's briefing. "At some level, that just seems not very credible to me."

Abdul: I've never been drunk
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Paula Abdul's spacy behavior on "American Idol" has prompted many to ponder if there's a tumbler or two of booze in that red cup on the table in front of her on the Fox talent contest.
That's nonsense; the 44-year-old "Idol" judge told Us Weekly magazine in its Feb. 16 issue.
"I've never been drunk. I have never done recreational drugs;" she said.
In her five years on "Idol," Abdul — a singer and a movie, TV and stage choreographer — has weathered criticism about her sometimes odd behavior, which has included slurred and garbled speech, and her not-so-subtle gushing about the show's young, male singers.
"There have been 100 million lies about me." Abdul said. "I'm squeaky clean. I've worked my ass off my entire life. (But) being involved in the show causes people to question everything."

Sonar training threat to sea life
Navy won't agree to restrictions
BY AUDREY MCAVOY ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONOLULUU — The Navy says it won't comply with sonar training restrictions that aim to protect marine mammals off the California coast, arguing that the commission that imposed the rules does not have the jurisdiction to do so.
the commission's jurisdiction.
A call to the coastal commission was not immediately returned Tuesday.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet said in a statement on Monday that the California Coastal Commission's rules cannot be applied beyond the scope of state waters,
"We can be responsible environmental stewards while our sonar operators receive realistic training."
Environmentalists on Tuesday criticized the Navy's decision, accusing it of denying the commission's authority to protect mammals off its coast. The Natural Resources Defense Council, an

three nautical miles from shore.
"The Navy does not take lightly our responsibility to the environment and marine life," said Vice Adm. Barry Costello, commander of the U.S. 3rd Fleet in San Diego. "And we can be responsible environmental stewards while our sonar operators receive realistic training and experience at sea they need."
The Navy has been using sonar during training exercises off the California coast for decades, a practice that critics say can injure whales and other sea mammals. Last year, it sought permission for the exercises from the commission as part of new internal guidelines to ensure major exercises are environmentally sound.
The commission agreed to the exercises last month. But it also imposed restrictions on use of mid-frequency active sonar in a zone the Navy said was outside
environmental group that has sued to stop other Navy sonar training, vowed to sue if the coastal commission does not.
"The notion that the commission is preempted from
protecting marine mammals off the California coast is not only without any legal basis but it is in direct contradiction to the fact that the commission has been doing exactly that for decades under the federal law protecting our coasts," said foel Reynolds of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Environmentalists say whales have stranded themselves on beaches after being exposed to high-intensity mid-frequency sonar. The sonar is also claimed to interfere with the ability of marine mammals to navigate, hunt, take care of their offspring and avoid predators.
The Navy acknowledges mid-frequency active sonar can contribute to marine mammal injury, or even death. It says it takes steps to protect marine mammals, such as posting lookouts on board to watch for marine mammals nearby.

ENTERTAINMENT Letterman reminds Barrymore of flashy performance
NEW YORK — David Letterman can't forget the night Drew Barrymone flashed him nearly 12 years ago.
In a "Late Show" appearance in 1995, the actress famously danced on Letterman's desk for his birthday and briefly bared her breasts with her back to the camera.
Letterman reminded her of this when they chatted on Monday's CBS late-night talk show, saying, "You've got a birthday coming up. You know, I've got a birthday coming up as well."
"I remember celebrating your birthday one year," said Barrymore who turns 32 on Feb. 22.
"That was great," replied Letterman, who will be 60 on April 12. "Now is there a chance that you might do anything like that
again?"
Barrymore said that's not likely.
A seemingly wistful Letterman thanked Barrymore for the water cooler moment.
"I'm very grateful for the opportunity, it was lovely," he said, "And it's still something I think about and talk about and tell my friends."

Today is a not so saintly holiday
St. Valentine's Day can be a painful time of the year. Singles dread the holiday weeks in advance as they are bombarded with pink and red advertisements bearing lovey-dovey displays of affection. The holiday is a constant reminder of their solitude. It is especially excruciating for new romantics who question whether they will be expected to give or be ridiculed for giving their crushes an expression of their admiration.
Individuals with significant others also often dislike the holiday. Those who prefer slowpaced relationships resent the fact that they are essentially forced to express their love or pay the consequences. Others hope their love for their sweethearts is apparent without expensive gifts. A dozen of red roses, for example, often costs more than $50.
The holiday has become quite commercialized. February grinches argue that Valentine's Day is a symbol of a consumerist society and a capitalist ploy that should be boycotted. The holiday isn't just a meaningless product of Hallmark. It is also insignificant in other ways.
St. Valentine's Day was invented by Christians to replace a pagan holiday. No one is certain who St. Valentine was. The Catholic Encyclopedia reports at least three St. Valentines who are associated with February 14.
The saint the holiday is attributed to — likely a conglomeration of all St. Valentines — is rumored to have married lovers during warfare when marriage was illegal and to have unjustly died in prison. Alas, the stories are mostly speculation.
Without a concrete history and deep meaning, the importance of St. Valentine's Day is akin to that other "saint's day" when people wear green, get sloshed and pinch people. St. Valentine's Day is adored by capitalist industries, loathed by singles and not always appreciated by couples. It appears that its only good is to enhance the economy and the population by spreading the message that individuals without significant others are neither right nor healthy.
Not that the holiday is an entirely bad thing. Genuine meaning can be applied to Valentine's Day. It is possible that the holiday was intended not just to force Christianity, money-spending and procreation, but to help us realize the importance of human relationships and to remind us to make room in our lives for love.
Unfortunately, a heartless Valentine's Day instead spurs many to hibernate, overeat and liquor up.

V-Day breaks hearts
I don't have much to offer in good Valentine's Day stories or reliable dating advice. I have spent the last couple of Valentine's days with friends or doing homework.

Let's just say I've seen too many broken hearts, both candy and vascular.
My friend tells this story about planning dinner and a night out with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, he made reservations for the same day that her SAT scores came. He spent that evening eating microwave
When I was in elementary school, a friend of mine gave the girl of his dreams — and the entire fourth grade class's dreams — a Beanie Baby for Valentine's Day. She gave it back. He didn't come to school for the next two days.
Like I said, no good stories.
Valentine's Day is such a good kicker, though. Tell "and tragic love story and drop the"and it was on Valentine's Day," and people grimace just a little bit more. Think of how great "Romeo and Juliet" would have been if it had ended on Valentine's Day instead of some random, summer day in Verona.

If you hadn't already guessed, it happened on Valentine's Day.
One last tragic story: I was really interested in this girl that I knew throughout high school. We had an English class together, but never really talked outside of it. I finally gathered the courage to call her. We went on two really great dates before I called her and left a message that was never returned. I sat on my porch and waited for a phone call that never came. It was July 3, a random, summer day in Kansas.
I think they need to make up more holidays.
because storytellers are having a harder time keeping an audience. We have to compete with the Internet, television and $ 0.50 rentals at Liberty Hall. We need more support and better material. We need more holidays we can throw down as punch lines and last words.

Valentine's Day is finally upon us. This is that magical time of the year where we spend more money than usual on various kinds of candy, greeting cards written by the same people who do the Cryptoqip and various things that are packaged in red and pink. Valentine's Day is a celebration of the famous knight Sir Valentine, who slew the evil love-hating dragon with a giant Whitman's Sampler.
It is with this in mind that we prepare for this most magical time of the year. Here are a few important things to remember to properly celebrate Sir Valentine's heroic deed:
1. Giving candy hearts may be a tradition, but one should never actually expect people to eat them. Seriously, they're like sugar/chalk hybrids invented by a mad scientist who didn't know how to talk to his
5. The following pick-up lines are to be avoided:
"Baby, is your father a thief?" "Cuz I think I saw him on 'Cons' once"
"I think I've just found the angel I want to be touched by"

Commit these tips to memory because they're serious. For those who think I'm just being silly; put that out of your head. Would I lie to you? Of course not. Now, go buy your sweetheart some flowers.
2. Girls, if you buy some sort of sexy lingerie that you intend to wear for your significant other, and you wrap it up for them as a present, don't give it to them in public. You'll most likely embarrass them and if you don't, something could be horribly wrong.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Readers reflect on V-Day
Last year I was falling for a girl in my school. She shared similar feelings for me so I decided I wanted to do something special for her. I had her mom call me the night before Valentine's Day to tell me when she had fallen asleep. I then went to her house and put roses and chocolate on the couch outside her room. Around each rose, I attached coupons for complimentary hugs and dinner and a movie. I also left a trail of rose petals leading from her bedroom door to the gifts. The look on her face the next day at school was unforgettable, and we soon became a couple. It is by far one of my best memories.
Three years ago today my father was involved in a life-threatening ski accident and spent the next two weeks in out of surgery. But his accident blessed us both. His being on bed rest allowed me to spend hours hanging out with him. To me Valentine's Day doesn't mean roses, cards and chocolates. It's calling my father and thanking God for another year spent with him.
Much like the arrows that the fabled Cupid shoots, Valentine's Day is either a hit or a miss. Regardless of gender you either love it or hate it. Guys use it to apologize for all the things they don't understand they've done wrong. Girls use it as a way to confuse their guys: "Don't get me anything" really means "I'd better get something or we're over."

Valentine's Day GUIDE
Cupid not always loved
BY CHELSEA MAGRUDER
Everyone knows Cupid as the little guy who shoots people with love arrows, but the man behind the bow and arrows has more to his story.
"When I think of Cupid, I think of a little chubby boy with wings, bow and arrows, and he has rosy cheeks." Ashley Benes, Tulsa, Okla. junior said. "He is a mischievous little guy who shoots people with love arrows."
Cupid has not always been known as a cute childlike cherub, his own story dates back to the Ancient Greeks.
The first account of Cupid, or Eros as the Greeks refer to him, comes from the poem "Theogony" by Hesiod. The poem traces the genealogy of the Greek gods. The first god mentioned is actually Eros.
"Eros was the first God. He came before the universe was organized and then he attracted matter together.
er' said John Younger, professor or
classics.
Later in history, a different story of Cupid emerges from Greek mythology. In this story Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love, and the stepson of Ares, god of savage war. Since Cupid comes from love and war, most ancient Greeks did not want him interfering with their lives.
"In ancient Greece people had arranged marriages and people were not in love with their spouse," Younger said. "Love was a bad thing that got in the way of life."
For that reason Greeks viewed Cupid as a destructive god causing pain in people's lives. Today, Cupid is one of the most recognizable symbols of Valentine's Day; along with the heart with his arrow sticking through it.
Before the time of Renaissance art, Cupid was depicted as a young, grown man. He still had a pair of wings and his trusty bow and arrow,
but he was not seen as a child.
Around the time of Renascence art, Cupid became a young, chubby little boy. This is where today's image of Cupid comes from, Younger said.
Cupid's bow and arrows play an important role in his image. He received them from his stepfather, Ares. The ancient Greeks believed that Cupid owned not only love arrows, but also hate arrows.
"Eros' arrows signify the deep physical pain and suffering love can cause." Younger said.
His arrows are a symbol of the physical pain love creates and the two extremes of emotion: love and hate. Cupid's arrows also made people desire or lust after one another. The word "erotic" actually comes from Eros.
Whether Cupid is a good or bad omen on Valentines Day is left up to debate. Just remember to guard your heart when you see a little man flying around with a bow and arrow.

Holiday's history outlasts rumored corporate creation
For hundreds of years, citizens of nations around the world have set aside Feb. 14 as Valentine's Day. Although this holiday is celebrated throughout the world, it was derived from a duke in England, despite the suspicion that Valentine's Day was created by the greeting card industry.
The celebration began after the first valentine was sent by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife in 1415. At the time, he was a prisoner in The Tower of London. As time progressed, young men around England copied love poems from books for the girls they were interested in. In the early

1800s, handmade valentines were available for sale for the first time. When the creation of manufacturing paper was introduced in 1843, the celebration of Valentine's Day grew.
The myth about the greeting card industry inventing Valentine's Day is untrue. Rachel Bolton, Hallmark Cards, Inc., spokeswoman, suggested two possibilities of why individuals believe in this myth. She said it could be because of Hallmark's "association with quality and excellence, as well as with celebrating."
The company's profits during this holiday helps explain the derivation of myth that the company invented the holiday.
Another explanation is that "in folklore and myth, cultures always make up stories to 'confirm' beliefs to offer an explanation for something they don't know, don't understand or to fill in for truth," she said.

The yearly approach of Cupid's favorite holiday is a bit like Grandmas homemade holiday fruitcake; some eagerly await its arrival, while many gloomily dread it. So what can a single person or burnt-romantic love do to give this unavoidable holiday a twist? Try these 10 ideas to have a unique Valentine's Day.
1. Valentines Day is all about the love, but who says it has to be romantic love?
Try baking cookies for your neighbor, borrowing your friend's car and secretly taking it to a car wash or tying on an apron and serving up food at the Jubilee Café, First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St.
3. Take your best (platonic) friend out on a date. You can dress up, drink a little wine and enjoy the special Valentine's Day menus that many restaurants offer — without having to buy flowers or worry if you have a little garlic on your breath at the end of the night.
2. Express your appreciation for old friends by writing and snail-mailing them a handwritten letter.
8. Go through old magazines and make a collage of all the people and things you love and hang it on your wall for a daily smile.
10. Host a wine party, Ask your favorite single friends to each bring a bottle to share.
9. Indulge in some fine art with a tour through the Spencer Museum of Art, west of the Kansas Union.
ALLURING ALTERNATIVES FOR VALENTINE'S DAY
4. Take a tour of the city you've grown to love. Start out with drinks at Free State Brewery, 636 Massachusetts St., dinner on Massachusetts Street and a stroll through campus at night.
5. Better yet, create an everything-Lawrence scavenger hunt for your sweetie with a sweet prize at the end.
6. Rent a tent and camp out at Clinton Lake for the night.
Sure, it's chilly, but that's what campfires and cuddling are for.
7. Make it a night to love
pamper yourself with a bubble bath, some hot chocolate and your favorite movie.

Collins fuels fire off the bench
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
In the unlikely event the lajwhaws fall behind early in tonight's game against Colorado, coach Bill self will turn to Sherron Collins to provide a spark off the bench.
The freshman guard has played as well as anybody on the team since conference play began, but don't look for him to join the starting lineup anytime soon.
"Certainly he's played as well as anybody in our program in the last month," Self said, "but you've got to do what's best for your team."
He feels that the team is better off not tampering with the formula that has resulted in two blowout victories in the past week. Instead, Self allows Collins to energize the team by entering the game off the bench.
"I just try to come into every game with enthusiasm," Collins said. "Coach asks me to come off the bench with a spark."
He's managed to do that so successfully that once he enters the game, he stays for a while. Recently Collins has been playing almost 30 minutes a game and is second on the team in scoring during conference play.
As the season has progressed, he said he has learned more about how to play his position and play it aggressively.
His passing game hasn't come until recently He had seven assists in the Kansas State and Missouri games, his best performances of the season.
"I understand what I'm doing, and I'm learning to pick my spots well," he said. "I think I can get to the lane almost every time and I can make something happen, even if it's just kicking the ball out."
Self said that his success came as a result of his eagerness to learn. Early in the season, the coaches

Freshman guard Sherron Collins' energy and enthusiasm coming off the bench has earned him an average of nearly 30 minutes per game. He and the Jayhawks take on the Buffaloes tonight in Boulder. Kansas defended Colorado 97-74 on Jan 7 at Allen Fieldhouse. Topics tonight are 8 on channels 8 and 15.

Defense, rebounds important in Boulder
BY MARK DENT
Kansas soundly defeated Colorado the first time the two teams met.
But listen to Kansas coach Bill Self, and it sounds as if the Jayhawks got killed.
"We didn't guard them the first time," he said. "Roby went nuts and had 30 on 15 shots. We've got to do a better job of guarding the ball and rebounding the ball cause those were two areas we really did do well in in the first game"
Kansas did do well in the final score area, winning 97-74. Tonight, the two teams meet again in Boulder, and the lajhawks face familiar and new problems.
Kansas' main area for concern this time is defense. The 74 points that Kansas allowed in the January game is the second highest point total it has given up in conference play. Consider that Colorado only averages less than 70 points per game and the number becomes even more glaring.
Guard Richard Roby was the main reason the Buffaloes were able to do well offensive against the Jayhawks. He scored 30 points from all over the court; He had pull ups, three-pointers and drives past his defender, sophomore guard Brandon Rush.
"I like playing against Roby." Rush said. "He can easily go for 30-35 points. You just try to limit his touches, not let him get to the free throw line, and keep him from getting open shots."
Kansas faces another challenge besides Roby, one that it didn't have to worry about in the first game. Boulder has an altitude of 5,328 feet. Lawrence's is only 863 feet. This higher altitude could cause the players to fatigue more easily and will probably force Self to go to his bench

Jayhawks head to championships

Riding a wave of momentum, the Kansas swimming and diving team travels to College Station, Texas, today for the first day of the Big 12 Championships.
The team concluded the regular season with consecutive victories against Big 12 foes Nebraska and Iowa State.
As always, the goal is a strong showing in the championship meet.
Kansas has placed fourth out of six teams in the last two years, narrowly being edged out of the top three by Missouri in 2005 and
Improving on those fourthplace finishes certainly won't be an easy task. Lone Star State powers Texas and Texas A&M have finished first and second, respectively, the last seven years. The Longhorns' string of conference titles dates back even further to eight years.

It appears self knew exactly what type of impact the 5-foot 11 bulldog out of Chicago would have. We just don't know if Self expected the impact to come in Collins' freshman season. One thing is certain, however. The 2006-07 layhawks will go as deep in March as Collins will carry them.
BY KAYVON SARRAF
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM
Looking back at Kansas' losses, it is easy to see what type of team has the ability to give it fits. It won't be a team like Missouri that will try to play an up tempo style. Nobody outside of Chapel Hill, N.C., has the athletes to pull that off. No, it will be a team that will slow the game down, play an active zone and make the game as ugly as possible. Look back at the Bradley and Oral Roberts debacles if you need further clarification. Scratch that. For your sanity, do not look back at those games
Enter Collins. He remains the only Jayhawk that can get to them rim at will. His penetration is able to break down zone defenses regularly. With Collins out of the game, the offense against the
zone often goes stagnant with 25 seconds of passing around the perimeter and then a guarded jump.
Since conference play began, Collins has been the player Self expected during his recruitment. Early in the season he lacked aggressiveness, often standing around
becoming better at taking care of the ball, with a 2.4 assist-to-turnover ratio, highlighted by Saturday's two turnover performance in 27 minutes against Missouri's high-pressure defense.

Thrower rises above crowd
BY TAYLOR BERN
Anyone who has ever met Egor Agalonov can attest to his intimidating stature, but it's his focus and determination that set him apart from the crowd.
The 6-foot-3 junior thrower has
made a name for himself in both the weight throw (indoor) and the hammer throw (outdoor). At last year's Big 12 Indoor Championships, Agafonov defeated teammate
their Newcomer of the Year award.
Aqafonov
Agafonov has won five of the six meets he has competed in this season, and boasts a season-best throw of 74-00.75. The results, however, have not surprised Agafonov.
Shelldon Battle in the weight throw by more than two feet for the crown and went on to place second at the NCAA Championships. The performance was more than enough for the Kansas coaches to honor him with
"We worked really hard in the fall, so this is nothing unusual or irregular." he said. "It's been pretty predictable."
Agafonov started his career at the Russian University for Physical Education before making the move to the University of Kansas after his freshman year. Agafonov came to Kansas to join an elite track team and a prestigious college. He admits to finding lectures "interesting" and likes to study.
"Sports are not all my life," he said. "I'm young now, but who knows what will happen in the future."
The 2006 indoor and outdoor All American treats regular meets like practice and gears up for the Big 12
and NCAA Championships, making the next three and a half weeks the best time of the season. And don't expect him to lay back and rely on luck.
"I really don't believe in luck, because it's luck if you win one meet, but to win several competitions is many years of practice and thousands of hours of weight lifting," said Agafonov.

Retired Barber to join NBC former Giant to appear on 'Today,' Sunday football pregame
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Former NFL running back and new "Today" show correspondent Tiki Barber said his offseason work at Fox News Channel made him recognize he had a passion for a career outside of sports.
Barber also said his problems with New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin had "started to take its toll on me."
The just-retired NFL running back was formally introduced as an NBC Universal employee Tuesday. He'll contribute news and human interest stories to "Today," and he'll be an analyst on NBC's Sunday highlight show "Football Night in America" in the fall.
He spurned offers from Fox and ABC/Disney to take the NBC job.
"My dream has always been to be on the 'Today' show." Barber said.
Barber, 31, retired as a ProBowl running back, scoring a touchdown in the NFL all-star game last weekend. Barber and his disciplinarian coach had their rough patches, particularly when Barber said the Giants were outcoached after a playoff loss a season ago.
Barber laid the groundwork for a broadcasting career while still active in the NFL. He was a correspondent for the Fox News Channel morning program "Fox & Friends," and has two programs on Sirius Satellite Radio, one on general topics and another on football that he does with his twin brother, Ronde Barber of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Zucker compared Barber to Joe Garagiola, another "Today" personality with a sports background, and former Giants star and longtime broadcaster Frank Gifford.
Zucker, the presidents of NBC News and Sports, and "Today" co-host Matt Lauer.
Barber "pops through the screen" and is incredibly popular with women, who make up the bulk of the "Today" show audience. Zucker said.
"He's incredibly handsome, he's incredibly charming, he's incredibly personable and he's incredibly smart," he said, "and that's a rare quality."
NBC News President Steve Capus also said Barber came with a backup.
Few other novice broadcasters would get such a lavish introduction to their new business: a news conference attended by NBC Universal President and Chief Executive Jeff
"On those days when you're not feeling well, we'll call Tampa Bay and get your brother," Capus said.

>> WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW
KANSAS VS. MISSOURI
7TONIGHT, ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
OFFENSE:
All indicators are in place to predict a breakout game from Kansas offensively. Senior guard Shaquina Mosley has frustrated opponents with her ability to both penetrate the lane for easy baskets and knock down midrange jump shots. She leads the Jayhawks with 12.5 points per game in Big 12 Conference play. When freshman guard Kelly Kohn and freshman forward Danielle McCray get on a roll, their shots are as lethal as any. The problem is both have been streaky and can easily have a bad night, as witnessed by their combined 36 percent from the field shooting in conference play. But in the victory against the Longhorns Saturday, Kohn had 17 points and McCray had 15. The combined 32 points could serve as a signal that the pair is prepared to shoot lights out in the coming week. Add this in with junior forward Taylor Mcintosh's average of 12 points in the last five games and it seems that the Jayhawks are finally in the final stages of producing a consistently effective offense. This is something the Tigers already possess. Four Missouri players are averaging double digits in points, including senior EeTisha Riddle at 16 points a game. The Tigers average 72 points a game, fifth in the Big 12.
DEFENSE:
Advantage:
It's fairly easy to see why an offensive explosion could be in store for Kansas against Missouri. To call the Tiger defense dreadful might be an understatement. Missouri is dead last in the Big 12 in field goal percentage defense at 44 percent and three-point field-goal percentage defense at 33 percent. The Tigers are also in the bottom half of the conference in defensive rebounds, steals and blocks. Statistics show Kansas is not much better off. The Jayhawks rank last in defensive rebounding and blocked shots. That's mostly reflective on the frontcourt, however, which has improved drastically in the two straight victories. When McNtosh stays out of foul trouble, she's a force in the paint and doesn't let opponents score in the low post. In both of its last two games, Kansas defense rose to the occasion and won games. The Jayhawks held the Longhorns 16 points below their season average. Despite going into overtime last Wednesday, Colorado only scored two more points than its season average against Kansas and shot below 10 percent from three-point range.
Going into a week that features its two biggest rivals, Kansas finally has a two-game winning streak to be proud of. It's amazing what a simple turn of good fortune can do. Coach Bonnie Henrickson has been saying all year that her players practice like they are undefeated and thinks they can beat anyone. But for the first time this year, that team attitude is on display for everyone to see. Shaquina Mosley's two straight game-winning shots and the celebrations at midcourt that followed have spirits soaring. Kansas will also be motivated to meet archrival Missouri for the first time this season. The Tigers are limping into Lawrence on a four-game losing streak. Their season looked promising after going 12-1 in non-conference play but has been a disaster since. This is best evidenced by their 26-point loss to Oklahoma State only four days ago. Kansas and Missouri are tied for last place in the Big 12, but if momentum plays any factor in Wednesday's game the Tigers are on the verge of sitting comfortably alone at the bottom of the standings.

The Kansas player responsible for guarding Riddle will be junior forward Taylor McIntosh. After an up-and-down first half of the season, the junior forward has come on strong lately, scoring nine points per game in conference play to go along with her always relentless defense.
52 percent from the field.
Senior guard Sharita Smith has provided intense defense and plenty of leadership, while freshman guard Kelly Kohn is finally snapping out of an extended shooting slump. Smith held Texas point guard Carla Cortijo to while Kohn supplied the offense with 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting.
If Riddle can lure McNltosh into committing early fouls, Henrickson may be forced to bring sophomore forward Marrija Zinic off of the bench, in turn losing the defensive toughness McNltosh provides. However, if McNltosh can stay out of foul trouble, Kansas holds the upper hand in the first installment of this season's Border War series.
Tonight the lajahwacks will need to rely on their ability to control the pace of play. If Kansas can get points in transition early and often Missouri could become wined. The Tigers rely heavily on their starters, who combine to play more than 75 percent of the game.

On the other hand, Kansas has recovered admirably from an embarrassing two-month stretch in which the team lost 15 of 17 games. After defeating a weak Colorado team at Allen Fieldhouse, it appears Kansas has made winning a habit. Most recently, the Jayhawks traveled to Austin, Texas, and stunned the Longhorns 50-49 on Saturday afternoon.

Jackson scored a game-high 31 points. With the loss, Texas A&M drops to 9-2 in the conference. Kansas is 8-2 in BIG 12 play. Both teams have an overall record of 21-4. The Jayhawks could move into a tie for first place with a victory tonight in Boulder, CO, against the Buffaloes.
Pittsburgh lacks prowess
>> COMMENTARY
Loss to Louisville worst ever at home
BY ANDREW CHIKES THE PITT NEWS
PITTSBURGH — For the first 20 minutes of play Monday night, it was hard to tell which team was ranked fifth in the nation and which team had lost two of its last three contests heading into Monday night's game.
Turnovers, poor shooting and deficient rebounding contributed to Pitt's worst start to a game all season. The dreadful first half proved to be overwhelming as the Panthers stumbled to their fourth loss of the season and their worst ever loss at the Petersen Events Center, against the Louisville Cardinals.
"I thought we weren't aggressive enough," Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon said. "That was the word I used throughout halftime. I thought we weren't aggressive. That's why we had so many turnovers."
The Panthers shot a miserable 24 percent from the field in the first half and failed to knock down a three-pointer until the 6:45 mark in the second half. Pitt's 19 points in the first half were a season low.
Meanwhile, Louisville connected on 43 percent of their shots, including 43 percent from three-point range.
Even the shots were few and far between, as Pitt committed nearly as many turnovers (16) as they took shots (21). Every Pitt starter had at least one turnover by intermission. In fact, Pitt played in 16 games this season in which they committed fewer turnovers than they did by halftime Monday night.
The Cardinals stifled Pitt with a full-court press that lasted not only the entirety of the half, but the whole game. Several turnovers came before the Panthers could even cross halfcourt. And while Louisville did not cash in on all of their takeaway opportunities, eight of their 36 points came off Pitt miscues.
Preseason Big East Player of the Year Aaron Gray finished with six first-half points while turning the ball over twice. His partner in the paint, fellow senior Levon Kendall, led the team with four first-half turnovers, while the third senior starter, Antonio Graves, contributed three of his own.

David Padgett, Louisville center and former Jayhawk, helped the Cardinals defeat No. 7 Pittsburgh Monday night at the Peterson Events Center. The loss to the unranked Cardinals will likely drop the Panthers below the Jayhawks in next week's Associated Press poll.
Keith Srakocic/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Despite losing their post presence for much of the second half, the Panthers play was markedly improved in the second half, but their deficit was far too great to
surmount.
Time will tell if the Panthers can recover, with a week to lick their wounds before hosting bubble-team Washington at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Maric said he wasn't bothered by the fact that he fell just points short of all sorts of records, including the 43 point Big 12 era scoring record set by Missouri's Clarence Gilbert against Iowa State in 1996.
"Honestly, I didn't leave any (points) out there," he said. "All I cared about was the win."
Informed that Martic fell a point short of the school scoring record, Nebraska coach Doc Sadler quipped, "Hes still got something to work for."
Marie scored 18 in the first half, then put up 23 more in the second. Nebraska spread the floor on offense, setting the 6-foot-11 inch Maric up for one on-one play against smaller Kansas State defenders.
That was by design, said Sadler, who took advice he got Sunday from one of his mentors, former Texas-El Paso coach Don Haskins.
"Coach Haskins said 'Doc, you've got to get that guy the ball.'" Sadler said.
"We believe in him," Husker poun guard Charles Richardson said of Marte. "We're not going to shy away from him. We're going to keep going to him."
Marc was the only Husker to score in double figures. Carter Martin led K-State with 22 points and Lance Harris had 15 points.
With the loss, K-State fell to 18-8 and 7-4 in the Big 12. Nebraska improved to 15-9 and 4-6 in the Big 12.

**Duke coach Kyle Krzewski and his Blue Devils appear to be on the NCAA Tournament bubble after falling behind .500 in the ACC. Early this week, Duke fell out of the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll for the first time in 10 seasons.**

Weak offense, floundering defense put Duke Blue Devils on bubble
BY ALEX FANAROFF
THE CHRONICLE
DURHAM, N.C. — After Duke's third game of the season, a win over UNC-Greensboro, head coach Mike Krzyzewski was asked about his teams' inconsistency on the offensive end, specifically its occasional inability to score for long stretches.
The coach responded (I'm paraphrasing here) that maybe his team was just not a good offensive team. Maybe their inconsistency showed up when they were playing well on the offensive end, as opposed to when they were playing poorly.
He said wed know more later in the season — wed have a frame of reference after they had played more games together. Well, now it's later, and we have a frame of reference.
This is a bad offensive team. This is an open-shot bricking, freethrow-shot-clanging, layup-missing, ball-movement-lacking team with no player quick enough to get to the basket or good enough off the bounce to create — and make — his own shot.
That being said, the Blue Devils' offense is good enough. While they are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the country, they're still 18-7. And Duke actually should be one of the lowest-scoring teams in the country because they play at an excruciatingly slow pace, which limits their shot attempts.
Using points per possession to control for Duke's slow pace, the Blue Devils score 111.7 points per 100 possessions, which puts them

in the top 20 percent of all NCAA teams in terms of offensive efficiency. So as deficient as Duke is on offense, there are a lot of teams that are worse, which is encouraging.
Up to the Maryland game, in fact, Duke had been performing well on offense even during its three-game losing streak, scoring about 100 points per 100 possessions (just about the national average) in each game. And even though that is below Duke's season average, it's not terrible when you consider the fact that athletic ACC teams play better defense than the likes of Georgia Southern and Columbia.
So the problem in the most recent three-game losing streak is not on offense. It's on defense. If the Blue Devils aren't playing good defense, they're going to lose.
During the current four-game losing streak, Duke has allowed more than 100 points per 100 possessions every time out. Its season average is 81.6 points per 100 possessions. They've had four of their five worst games of the season, as far as defensive efficiency goes, during this four-game stretch. The only game that was worse was the loss to Marquette.
This is the part of the column where I should give some solution to the problem, but I don't have one. Maybe Coach K does.
is that teams are taking and making too many open jump shots, getting to the basket too frequently and grabbing too many offensive rebounds. Basically, the Blue Devils are failing in every defensive area relative to how strong they were earlier in the season.
For two years, quick guards and active big men have killed Duke's defense. So maybe the last four teams Duke has played just have the type of personnel that gives the Blue Devils fits.
But that's not really encouraging either, because it's not like the five ACC games Duke has left are against teams that better fit Duke's defensive
schemes.
Just to get to 7-9 in the ACC (and likely lock up a tournament bid), Duke's going to have to win two of its final five conference games against Boston College (which is first in the ACC), Clemson (which Duke only beat by two at home), Maryland, North Carolina and Georgia Tech (all of which beat the Blue Devils once already). A conference record of 6-10 might be good enough, but it might not.
Welcome to life on The Bubble. Make yourself comfortable. Because until the team's defense improves, Duke's not getting off.

DAILY TEXAN
AUSTIN, Texas — All season long, Kevin Durant has tried telling the world that the Longhorns are all about playing a team game. Against Oklahoma State, he finally got a chance to show it.
Durant didn't need 37 points and the Longhorns didn't need three overtimes to claim a 83-54 victory in front of a rowdy home crowd.
"We've never really totally relied on Kevin to score a lot of points," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "We've always felt like we were a balanced team and tonight we got it."
It was no instant classic, but the young Texas squad did accomplish a significant feat for the first time in a regulation game.
Though they've had several players step up in different big games, the Longhorns have never had all five starters score in double digits, except for the thriller against the Cowboys on Jan. 16. Along with Durant's 21 points, D.J. Augustin torched OSU with 19 while A.J. Abrams stepped out of a recent shooting slump, pouring in 17 of his own. Damion James and Justin Mason also added 11 and 10 points, respectively.
When asked to describe his team when all five starters show up to play, Durant's answer was simple.
"Very dangerous," Durant said. "Everybody on our team can score and everybody can dribble. We've just got to keep working as a team on our defensive and offensive efforts and we're going to be good."
The game began with James
providing four points, a steal and a block on OSU phenom Mario Boggan within the first 5 minutes. From there, the Longhorns matched the intensity of their 6-foot-7 teammate and gave one of the best team efforts of the season.
"I think it really started from Damion going straight at Mario Boggan." Durant said. "Everybody just cruised on from there."
Holding onto a seven-point lead at halftime. Texas did not allow a comebreak like it did against Iowa State on Saturday. Instead, the Longhorns stuck it to the Cowboys, using all of their weapons to hold the OSU offense to just 36.7 percent shooting on the night.
After playing a lockdown man-to-man defense in the first half, Texas adjusted to fit the tone of the game in the final 20 minutes. Barnes went to the ultimate team defense — the 2-3 zone that his team struggled with in losses to Kansas State and Texas A&M last week.
"You could feel it coming together as a team," Barnes said. "There's no doubt that, over the last couple of games, the communication of our team has gotten so much better."
Having picked up arguably its biggest win of the conference season, people might begin to think that the Longhorns are starting to peak at the right time.
But for Durant and the Longhorns, there's still a long way to go.
"We're not looking to say that we're peaking." Durant said. "We're looking to get better every day. We're not going to be complacent with this win — this win is over and done."

With the regular season in the books Kansas continued tapering down its training in preparation for the championship season. The process involves lowering the intensity of workouts toward the end of the season as the Big 12 and NCAA Championships grow closer.
Lee R. Bittenbender, M.D.
"It's so they can have the opportunity for all the work they did all season to bubble up and lead to peak performances," coach Clark Campbell said.
The lowered workload also gave swimmers and divers a chance to catch their breath before heading into championship competition.
"it's almost like Christmas for swimmers," junior Lauren Bonte
said. "We know how many yards we've put behind us and what the end goal is."
The layhawks will take the first step in realizing that end goal today. Preliminaries begin at 10 a.m. and finals start at 6 p.m. with subsequent days of the competition following the same schedule.
Fans can catch the finals for each event streamed live on www. AggieAthletics.com. Fox Sports Net Midwest will also broadcast two-hour specials on tape delay at 11 a.m. on both Thursday, Feb. 22 and Saturday, Feb. 24.

Jim Tiller/THE DAYTONA BEACH NEWS-JOURNAL
NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter, left, and Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition, address the media during a press conference Tuesday against teams caught last Sunday for qualifying infactions at Daytona International Speedway. Craft chiefs from your teams were suspended and four drivers were docked for pointless fouling.
Drivers'seasons stalled for cheating
Saturday, February $ 17^{\mathrm{th}} $
BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR took its strongest stance against cheating Tuesday, suspending the crew chiefs for Matt Kenseth, Kasey Kahne, Scott Riggs and Elliott Sadler and docking all four drivers points before the season-opening Daytona 500 for failing inspections.
Kahne, Riggs and Sadler are teammates at Evernham Motorsports. Kenseth, the 2003 series champion and runner-up last season, drives for Roush Racing.
Robbie Reiser, crew chief for Kenseth, and Kenny !francis, crew chief for Kahne, were suspended for
four races. Rodney Childers, crew chief for Riggs, and Josh Brown, crew chief for Sadler, were suspended for two races.
"It's obvious that we've ramped up our penalties and we're going to get people's attention," competition director Robin Pemberton said. "We're going to grab this one by the horns."
All four crew chiefs can appeal, a process that could allow them to work the Great American Race. If they do and the committee cannot schedule a hearing before Sunday's race, they would be allowed to participate.
the 500 will be the first race he has missed since the team's inception in 1999 — a stretch of 255 races.
Reiser and Francis may not appeal because delaying the suspension could force them to miss the debut of the Car of Tomorrow at Bristol Motor Speedway in March.
In toughening its penalties,
NASCAR made the unprecedented
move of taking points away before
the season has even started. Kahne
and Kenseth were docked 50 points
apiece, while Riggs and Sadler lost
25 each.
Reiser and Francis also were fined $50,000 each, while Childers and Brown were fineed $25,000 each.
All four drivers will start the
season with negative points — a move that most likely infuriated the teams, but sent a strong message that NASCAR will no longer tolerate rule-breakers.
Kenseth and Kahne had their qualifying times thrown out after inspectors discovered illegal holes in the wheel wells, which could have improved aerodynamics.
Evernham maintained the holes had been covered with duct tape that apparently fell off before the Dodge was inspected. But Pemberton said NASCAR believed the tape had been cut.
Riggs and Sadler's cars both had modifications that allowed air to leak out of the trunk area.

TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKEZ
If the Jayhawks leave Boulder with a victory, it will be the 15th time in the last 16 years that they've swept the season series against the Buffaloes. It's also a must-win to stay in the conference race, as the Jayhawks need to win out and hope that Texas A&M falters down the stretch.
STAR WATCH
Sophomore forward Julian Wright scored 33 points Saturday against Missouri. Can he do that every game? Of course not, but his success is vital to the team, as they often feed off of his
Wright
play. Against Colorado in Lawrence, he logged just 20 minutes and six points. Both numbers should go up tonight as long as he stays out of foul trouble.
QUESTION MARK
WILL THE JAYHAWKS ADJUST
WELL TO THE ALTITUDE IN
BOULDER?
All signs point to yes. Most of the team has been there before in previous years, in addition, the Texas Tech game was played in Lubbock, which is more than 3,000 feet above sea level. We'll see if the extra 2,000 feet make a difference tonight.
3 REASONS KU WINS
ONE — The Jayhawks are deeper than ever. With the emergence of junior forward Darnell Jackson and the consistently good play of freshman forward Darrell Arthur and freshman guard Sherron Collins, the Jayhawks have eight top-caliber players available at any given time.
TWO — They are much better than Colorado. Seems like an obvious one, but it's true. The difference in talent between the two teams is as big as the Interstate 70 drive that separates them.
**THREE** — A final tribute to Ricardo Patton. The Jayhawks have dominated the Colorado coach, and this will be his final time to lose to Kansas unless the teams meet in the Big 12 Tournament.
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
ROCKY MOUNTAIN LETDOWN? Jayhawks look to avoid upset against Buffs in Boulder
KANSAS VS. COLORADO 8 Tonight, Coors Events Center, Channels 8,15
Kansas 21-4,8-2 Big 12
OFFENSE
Last time around Kansas scored 97 points against an impotent Colorado defense. That doesn't mean it was a perfect game, though. The Jayhawks were outrebounded 36-30, something they say shouldn't happen again.
The team has been hitting its stride recently in terms of scoring points. Kansas scored at least 90 points in victories over Kansas State and Missouri, and while it's unrealistic to think that will happen every night, it can certainly happen against Colorado. Look for guards Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers to try to break out of their recent scoring slumps.
KU KU KU KU
The Jayhawks like to let their defense create their offense. Anytime they can force a bad shot, they'll start a fast break off the rebound. Junior center Sasha Kaun and sophomore forward Julian Wright will look to establish their dominance in the paint early, and use that advantage to deny Colorado second chances on bad shots.
DEFENSE
KU KU KU KU KU
MOMENTUM
There's no doubt the Jayhawks are flying high right now. Two convincing victories against two rival teams led coach Bill Self to say that the team is practicing and playing better than it has all season. It shouldn't be hard to keep that rolling against a dismal Colorado team, as weak opponents haven't tripped up the Jayhawks during the conference schedule. Look for Kansas to dominate the first five minutes and roll to an easy victory.

Let's get this straight. Colorado does not have a good offense. In fact, it doesn't even have a mediocre offense. But against the Jayhawks the first time, the Buffalooes actually looked competent on the offensive end. Guard Richard Roby had a lot to do with it, scoring 30 points, but others stepped up as well. However, this is still Colorado. The Buffalooes may have scored 74 points, but they turned the ball over 30 times. And Roby, who could do nothing wrong when he shot the ball, turned it over eight times. Expect a lot of turnovers tonight too, because the Buffs cough the ball up about 19 times per game.
OFFENSE

ps
Colorado might not win a lot of games, but east it can really jump start a team's offense. e Kansas for example. The Jayhawks scored 97 against the Buffaloes and then scored more than 90 in two of their next four games. It's hard to point out exactly which part of Colorado's defense is the worst. Their guards aren't quick enough to force turnovers or put a hand up in a shooter's face — the Buffalooes have the Big 12's worst turnover margin and worst field goal percentage defense. Or you could point to the front court. Only two players taller than 6-foot-9 get significant playing time, which allows Colorado to be the worst defensive rebounding team in the conference.
Colorado might not win a lot of games, but at least it can really jump start a team's offense. Take Kansas for example. The Jayhawks scored

MOMENTUM
Momentum for Colorado has been like nirvana for a Buddhist. The Buffaloos have been trying really hard to attain it, but just haven't been able to do it. All of this is understandable though considering coach Ricardo Patton resigned before the season started. Plus,
Roby has at least one eye aimed at the NBA this season. Combine those problems with a young team, and no one expected the Buffaloes to be anything more than awful this season. Two weeks ago, Colorado did beat Oklahoma State, showing it is capable of pulling off an upset. But Oklahoma State is a terrible road team and not nearly as polished as Kansas. Tonight, the Buffaloes will need a miracle to win.

CU TIP-OFF WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Richard Roby's NBA Stock. Roby lit up Brandon Rush and the Kansas defense the first time these teams played. If he does it again against a quality team, perhaps against and general managers will take a closer look at him as a late first round pick.
STAR WATCH
Jeremy Williams, freshman
the best game of anyone not named Roby the first time these two teams played. Williams scored 11 points and
Williams
Williams
a grabbed a game-high eight rebounds. For Colorado to stay close, Williams will have to rebound well against Kansas' superior post players.
QUESTION MARK
CAN COLORADO NOT TURN THE BALL OVER 30 TIMES?
It's unlikely that the Buffaloes will give up the ball that many times tonight, but turnovers will be a problem. Colorado needs to hold on to the ball and not waste possessions. It will need every offensive possession because its defense won't be able to stop Kansas.
3 REASONS CUWNS
ONE — Upset Capabilities — Oklahoma State marched into the Coors Event Center expecting a guaranteed win and look what happened: the Cowboys trailed early and could never comeback.
**TWO** — Altitude Attitude — If teams come into Boulder thinking it will be harder to breathe, they could end up struggling. The altitude probably will make Kansas more tired, but the mental effects of it could be worse.
THREE — An absent minded professor — Perhaps Colorado will take a couple of notes from the files of Mr. Walt Disney and use flubber. They would be able to bounce as high as the ceiling and leap incredible distances. If they use flubber, they will not lose.

Roby
Last time out, these two gave memorable performances during a very forgetful game. If not for Roby and Rush, all of Allen Fieldhouse would have fallen asleep. Rush may have allowed Roby to score 30 points, but he did force eight turnovers in the first game. Look for Rush to be extra motivated by one of his worst defensive performances of the season and do a much better job against Roby. Even if he does defend Roby well, Roby is still likely to score about 15 points.

HIGHER EDUCATION
Schools may face funding cut
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
The State of Kansas' higher education system took a $75 million hit Wednesday after the House Appropriations Committee recommended the multi-million dollar cut from the 2008 budget.
Included in the reduction was a $30 million cut from the state's six universities, including the University of Kansas.
Joe McLeland, member of the education budget committee, said it was important to know $75 million wasn't necessarily being taken away from higher education. He used the plan's $2 million cut of financial aid
Board of Regents criticizes move
as an example.
"A cut is not a cut," McLand said. "We approved a million more than last year. The governor requested three million, and we allotted one."
Mckelland said a lot of the money would come back after commission reports are completed to help his committee better decide how to spend its money.
Through a press release, Board of Regents President Reginald L. Robinson criticized the $75 million cut, calling it "profoundly troubling."
Director of University Relations Lynn Bretz said the change wouldn't alter the University's missions.
was surprised, by committee, members' willingness to hold back funds from institutions in their constituencies.
Robinson said in the release he
"We'll do everything we can to make sure we provide the financial structure recommended by the governor." Bretz said.
Bretz said the $30 million cut completely removed a five percent increase in funding that had previously been allotted by Governor
The largest change in the plan was more than $37 million to be removed from Kansas institutions that provide technical education, including 10 technical colleges and schools. Director of Government Relations and Communications Kip Peterson said the only comment his office would like to make was located in the press release.

Thousands of Kansas fans cheered on the Jayhawks during Wednesday night's victory in Boulder, Colo. Late in the game, the Rock Chalk chant echoed throughout the Coors Events Center.
Jayhawks cruise to easy victory in front of friendly road crowd
Kansas romped to another blowout victory Wednesday night in front of a highly-partisan Jayhawk crowd in Boulder, Colo.
With the victory against the Buffaloes, Kansas tied Texas A&M for the lead in the Big 12 Conference with a 9-2 league record.
The Jayhawks took an early lead off a tip-in by sophomore forward
Junior guard Russell Robinson led the Jayhawks with a game-high 14 points, and junior center Sasha Kaun chipped in 10.
Julian Wright just five seconds into the game and never looked back. Kansas has now beaten Colorado in 36 of the last 37 meetings between the two schools.
Once again Kansas' defense helped
spark the rout. The Jayhawks held the Buffaloes to just 27 percent shooting and forced 18 turnovers. Kansas also had 10 blocks on the night. After scoring 30 points in the game at Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas held Colorado guard Richard Roby to just seven points.
Kansas is off until Saturday when it takes on Nebraska at the fieldhouse.

Intercity bus line increases run times
BY MATT ERICKSON
The K-10 Connector bus service scheduled five new pickup times because of requests from students, faculty and staff from the Lawrence and Edwards campuses.
The service added two eastbound times, leaving from the Park and Ride lot at Clinton Parkway and Crestline Drive at 2:35 p.m. and 8:15 p.m., and three westbound times arriving at the Park and Ride Lot at 4:35 p.m. 6:35 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.
The service connects the Edwards Campus and Johnson County Community College with the University's Lawrence campus and Haskell Indian Nations University.
Phil Detrixhe, Johnson County Transit marketing manager, said the new times would accommodate requests from students and faculty members, especially those with evening classes at either KU campus.
Full time employees of the different campuses who leave work late in the afternoon also requested new running times.
Detrixhe said the transit system was getting scores of e-mails from students, professors and other riders requesting increased service.
Danny Kaiser, assistant director of parking and transit, said he thought many students were using

Wescoe renovations expand
Work to include north side to make total process faster
BY KATY BLAIR
Faculty and staff in Wescoe Hall are preparing for18 months of pounding, screeching and other disturbing noises from the basement.
Renovations to the deteriorating first floor of Wescoe now include the north side of the building, says University Design and Construction
Management. Recent construction on the south side sparked concerns that the north area might need similar renovation for the growing problems in its infrastructure.
"It's creating a hazard in terms of egressing from the building, and we want to take care of it as soon as possible", Jim Modig, director of Design and Construction management said.
Over the years, clay soil underneath the foundation of Wescoe has caused the building to sink. Because of swelling from moisture, the floor is rising and pushing on the ceiling columns. Under the pressure, the ceiling has begun to buckle. This problem was the initial reason for
renovations in the south side of Wescoe.
In addition to the 70 new offices being built by a separate project on the west side of Wescoe, the basement renovation will create 10-12 classrooms out of what is now graduate teaching assistant offices. GTAs in this area and on the second and third floors will be moved to their new offices upon completion.
"We're thrilled about the move," Amy Rossomondo, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, said. Rossomondo said the noise hasn't posed a large problem for her, espe-

BY CHELSEA MAGRUDER
Who: Professor Marjorie Swann,
Bachelor's in English: Queens University,
Master's in English Literature:
Oxford University, Doctorate:
Oxford University
How long have you been at KU?: 14 years
Where are you from original-
lv? Hilton Beach, Ontario
What would students be surprised to know about you? James Naismith died in my bathtub. I live in the house he once owned, and his grandson told my husband and I that his grandfather had died in our bathtub.
What is your favorite spot in Kansas that you've visited? I would have to say the botanic garden in Hesston. That or Burns Cafe in Burns, because it has the best pie in the world, God himself makes the pie.
What types of hobbies do you have? I'm an avid gardener. I grow organic fruit and vegetables. I also collect 19th century to 1960 Kansas art. I travel around Kansas with my husband looking for good pieces.
If you could be any literary character, who would you be?: I would be Queen Elizabeth I in "The Dark Lady of the Sonnets," because she got to do what she wanted. She was clever and could hold her own, and she gave Shakespeare all of his best lines.
What do you like most about KU?: I really enjoy Potter Lake. Early in the morning I walk my dog along the lake and sometimes I see herring.
If you could swap places with someone, who would it be? I don't want to swap places with anyone. I am middle aged and have worked hard to get where I am.
What was your college experience like?: Oxford was a terrific intellectual experience, but it was such a stressful environment. There is a high suicide rate at Oxford because students can't handle the stress. It was not easy being a woman at Oxford.
If you were not teaching, what would you be doing? I would probably focus on my love of Kansas visual art. I appreciate the art for what it is and what it is not.

》 POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT
KU students meet candidates
A couple of young democrats have a much more personal perspective on their presidential candidates than most other students.
Marc Langston, Wichita senior, and Julia Groeblacher, McPherson freshman, traveled to Washington, D.C. to the Democratic National Committee meeting two weeks ago to meet all of the already announced candidates face to face.
"They were trying to get us to work for them." Langston said.
Langston is the former president of the Young Democrats and Groebblacher is the current president. The two met with chapter presidents of College Democrats of America from around the country.
"Hillary was the most impressive to meet because she's a woman I've respected since I was eight," he said. "She's a titan and you can't neglect that and you're overwhelmed by her presence in the room."
Langton said he was excited to meet all of the candidates, but was most star-struck by U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.N.Y.).
Though Langton said most of the meet and greets were brief and in rooms with usually more than 25 people, students still managed to get some pictures with the candidates.
"They paid more attention and recruited us more than the rich people in the room." Langston said.
Langton said the biggest buzz of the entire four-day event was when the national committee discussed a
resolution to incorporate younger democrats in voting conventions and to set up a youth caucus in Denver during the Democratic National Convention in August 2008.
"They know young people are going to win primaries for them in some states," Langston said.
The candidates met with younger party members in a meeting that was scheduled to last 15 minutes, but ended up lasting an hour.
The two said nobody recruited them harder than U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-DEL), who asked Groebleacher to be his Midwest Youth Director, Biden also gave Langston a signed picture of when he met with the Young Democrats from the University in 2005. Biden inscribed the photo, "KU, all blue, I need you."
Langston respected Biden, but decided to support the campaign of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D III.).
Both he and Groeblacher said they returned home united for Obama, who is new to presidential politics.
"He can differentiate between good and bad advice already," Groeblacher said.
They're united behind the entire field of democratic contenders.
"We left knowing there are extremely strong candidates going in the right direction," Groeblacher said.

》 UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS
Engineering holds opportunities for women
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
When Nicole Schnell began studying to be an electrical engineer at the University of Kansas, she felt out of place among the other students.
"It's a man's world," she said of the School of Engineering. "You're just not brought up to be in that environment. It takes a tough kind of girl."
Now, Schnell, Schnellville, Ind. senior, said she was "one of the guys" among the school's majority demographic; men.
"It takes a special kind of mind," she said. "You have to think objectively and quantify things. Girls just aren't brought up to think that way in general."
The Society of Women Engineers will host a Weekend of Engineering for high school girls Saturday and Sunday with the hope of attracting more prospective female students.
Florence Boldridge, director of
Diversity Programs for the School of Engineering, said women comprise slightly more than 19 percent of the undergraduate Engineering population, which is about 1,500 students. The average percent of undergraduate girls in engineering across
the nation
the nation is 21 percent, she said. According to the Board of Regents, 50.4 percent of students at the University in 2006 were women.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for the girls, and it doesn't bog them down," she said.
The weekend is a smaller-scale version of Project Discovery, a weeklong program for female high school students, Boldridge said. She said
The week end, which is

meant to show girls the fun in engineering, has 37 planned attendants, an increase of 28 from last October's weekend for girls. Boldridge said this is the fifth year for the Weekend of Engineering.
> 21% nationally
the outreach programs had an impact on girls coming to the University; seven new female freshmen chose the University's School of Engineering last year after taking part in
Project Discovery or the Weekend of Engineering. This year, it will be hold June 10-16 and July 8-14.
Donna Haverkamp, associate professor of Electrical Engineering, said the number of girls in classes she
has taught ranged from five to none at all.
"It's very clear that there are few women pursuing technical degrees," she said.
Haverkamp spent eight years as a research scientist before returning to teach at the University. She said at her first job she was one of the only women in her department.
Despite being outnumbered by most of her classmates, Schnell said being part of the minority can help someone stand out.
"Being a woman sets you apart. There are opportunities that girls aren't seeing," she said.

HEARST JOURNALISM AWARDS
Student awarded second place
BY JOE HUNT
Two writers at the University of Kansas were recognized on Wednesday in the sports segment of the Heart Journalism Awards Program, the highest honor for college journalism students in the country.
The winners were C.J. Moore, Shawnee senior, and Michael Phillips, Wichita senior. Moore placed second and received a $1,500 scholarship, while Phillips placed 12th and received a certificate of merit.
Jan Watten, program director of the Hearst Foundation, said that entries were judged on reporting style, clarity, construction and knowledge of subject.
Moore's story, titled "KU doesn't echo NCAA's tough stance on drugs," began with former starting quarterback Jason Swanson urinating into a cup.
Moore said. "I thought I might be able to place, but second place, that's amazing."
"I was proud of my story."
Moore's story received 50 points from a trio of judges that work at various national newspapers.
Phillips' story, titled "Logos mean more than ever," was published in The Wichita Eagle while he worked there as an intern. The story was about college teams licensing out their logos to make money.
"The fact that it could be recognized like this is very flattering," Phillips said.
The sports category of the Hearst Awards was the fourth of six. The University currently ranks second in overall points, with 139, trailing to Missouri's first place with 164.

Defense rests after judge bars classified evidence
Scooter Libby fails to testify, case falls short of hype
WASHINGTON — Once expected to rival the courtroom dramas of Watergate and Iran Contra, the trial of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby neared a quick, unsensational close Wednesday.
Libby's attorneys rested a truncated defense after the judge barred much of their classified evidence because Libby decided not to testify in his perjury trial. Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald wrapped up the government's rebuttal in minutes.
On Tuesday, the jury will return to hear closing arguments over whether the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick. Chellyied
to the FBI and a grand jury about whether he leaked to reporters in 2003 that Valerie Plame, the wife of prominent Iraq war critic Joseph Wilson, worked for the CIA.
The trial fell well short of the Watergate and Iran Contra trials that riveted the nation's attention. Defense attorneys decided not to call the two biggest witnesses they had dangled in pretrial proceedings; Libby and his former boss Cheney.
In 14 days of testimony, the trial never filled an overflow courtroom, with a video hookup, to handle the crowds expected — particularly for the cross-examination of Libby and Cheney.
Nevertheless, testimony showed
that Cheney was intimately involved on a daily basis in July 2003 in rebutting Wilson's allegations that President Bush had led about intelligence to push the nation into war with Iraq.
Cheney was described by his own aides as particularly upset that Wilson suggested the vice president knew one key justification — that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa for nuclear weapons — had been debunked by Wilson in 2002.
The defense put in a handwritten note in which Cheney told the White House secretary to exonerate Libby in the leak and not sacrifice him to protect Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rowe.
The case marched chronologically through the tumultuous spring and summer of 2003, when the administration was embarrassed that U.S. forces in Iraq hadn't found any of the weapons of mass destruction that Bush had used to justify the war.
Fitzgerald's goal was to render Libby's statements to the FBI and the grand jury unbelievable.
When Libby decided not to testify, Walton reversed course on Wednesday and barred almost all the classified evidence.
"My absolute understanding was that Mr. Libby was going to testify," Walton said. "My ruling was based on the fact that he was going to testify."

Class about Dr. Seuss fills fast at Kansas State
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN - Associate professor of English Philip Nel stands at the front of his classroom with a book in his hand. An illuminated screen with a typed list of eight ways to look at the story glows behind him.
He opens the class for discussion; questioning the students about the themes and motifs of the book. His students begin breaking it down, talking about its ethnic and gender
roles, stereotypes, general structure and prose.
The book?
"And to Think That I Said if on Mulberry Street," by Dr Seuss.
Nel is the instructor of a new class in the English department devoted completely to the life and works of Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seus. This is the first time in Kansas State's history the university has offered a class specifically on Dr. Seus.
One could question how an
entire semester could be devoted to the famous children's author, but Nel said it is harder to figure out what not to include.
"There's an enormous amount of material," Nel said. "The real challenge comes in squeezing it all into one semester."
The class doesn't just focus on his books however; it looks into his influences, style and politics.
Nel's class attracted the interest of many students. It is on the closed list this semester, and two weeks
into the class, the room is still full of students with notebooks and pencils in hand.
Katie Pearson and Britni Kelly, both seniors, said they took the class out of sheer curiosity.
Pearson, maloring in secondary education and English, said she always heard about the deeper meaning in Seuss' work and was curious what a class about him would be like.
"It's Dr. Seuss," she said, "And Dr. Seuss is cool."

>> WAR IN IRAQ
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Challenged on the accuracy of U.S. intelligence, President Bush said Wednesday there was no doubt the Iranian government was providing armor-piercing weapons to kill American soldiers in Iraq. But he backed away from claims the top echelon of Irans government was responsible.
Bush says Iran supplied weapons
Bush, at a news conference, also said he would fight any attempt by the Democratic-controlled Congress to cut off money for the war.
"They need to fund our troops and the need to make sure we have the flexibility necessary to get the job done," he said.
buildup in Iraq. The four-year-old war hangs heavily on his presidency, and Bush's approval rating in an Associated Press-lipsos poll in February matched an all-time low of 32 percent.
The House is expected to vote Friday on a nonbinding resolution opposing Bush's decision to send 21,500 additional troops to Iraq.
There have been mixed signals in the administration about Iran's involvement in supplying Shiite groups in Iraq with a particularly lethal type of roadside bombs.
The meeting with reporters in the East Room was Bush's first news conference since Dec. 20 and the first since he announced the troop
Three senior U.S. military officials, at a weekend briefing in Baghdad, said the highest levels of the Iranian government had ordered the weapons smuggled into Iraq. They based their claim on the belief the weapons are moving into Iraq through the Iran's Revolutionary Guards elite Quids Force.
Wading into the debate, Bush said the Quds Force was instrumental in supplying the weapons and that the Quds Force was part of the Iranian government.

Oh Anna! Celebrity saga becomes a sensation
In a country of mixed up priorities and confusing rhetoric, it's assuring to see the media take control and show us what's really important. Clearly the death of Anna Nicole Smith has been the biggest thing to happen in George W's Presidency. Yes, there's "the War" but for each human injured in the Middle East, there's a dollar of Anna Nicole's fortune flosaling around without an heir.
Who has time to think about supporting Obama or Clinton? We've got to figure out which alleged baby-daddy of little Dannielynn we want to back. Is Liddy guilty? Who cares when Larry King and the rest of the country are trying to verbally prosecute Howard K. Stern, Anna's former lawyer and alleged lover?
The real question is: why isn't the President doing more to help the country in this time of crisis? He needs to send out CIA agents to find the real father of Anna Nicole's baby. He must force all major television networks to run stories on Anna Nicole. We shouldn't only be getting our information from
the reputable "E! News." The President needs to stiff-arm the Lifetime Television for Women channel to make a movie of angelic Anna Nicole STAT!
Because this also involves Bahamian laws, Anna Nicole's story is a global matter. President Bush must call on the United Nations to develop sanctions for what can and can't be filmed for the made-for-TV movie.
At a time when the American dream is in question, Anna Nicole gave us all hope. Hope to not only buy TrimSpa, but that we could move from poverty, using our God-given — or collagen, assets. She is the "American dream" personified.
The Kansan would like to salute all of those "National Enquirers" and "US Weeklies" for staying true to journalistic integrity and giving the people the most important news of the day. Let's all pause in a moment of silence for Anna Nicole, a woman unafraid to show her drive for success, nor her body.

>> COMMENTARY
United States should give peace a try
Martin Luther King Jr. once said "Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal." His words are not only wise but relevant today. King's passionate acclamations of nonviolent militancy, spoken in response to the Vietnam War, portray an ideology that is underrepresented in the current U.S. administration.
President Bush is no shining example of a diplomat. The examples of his ignorance of relevant peoples, customs and international opinion are numerous. Most significantly, however, his past and present handling of the Iraq War is naive and little short of atrocious.
The 2006 Iraq Study Group Report's most important recommendations for the U.S. was to increase diplomatic efforts with nations surrounding Iraq. President Bush rejected the plan, asserting that Iraq's neighbors are too dangerous to deal with. The U.S. is far
where countries disagree. Dialogue with Iraq's neighbors provides an opportunity for the U.S. to present itself as a paradigm nation for others to exemplify.
A.
However, the U.S. hasn't presented itself as an ideal nation flowing with wisdom. Regardless of whether the U.S. should've invaded Iraq, Iraqi citizens and U.S. congressmen alike concluded that the country is worse off today than it was prior to invasion. The number of U.S. casualties in Iraq has exceeded the number of casualties resulting from the attack on the World Trade towers. In addition to the invaluable cost

of human lives, the Iraq Study Group Report asserted that the final costs of the war may reach $2 trillion. The current fomentation of violence in Iraq suggests that, in
In light of the words that Martin Luther King Jr. spoke during a war that parallels the war the U.S. now wages, citizens must wonder if a more effective manner engages peace. An ideal solution is impossible, but the best solution involves cooperation.
retrospect, there may have been a more effective way to end terrorism and aid a brutally repressed people.
The Bush administration's decisions in Iraq will inevitably result in tragedy. We've already made extensive human and monetary sacrifice and we face the leering threat of global instability. For this
reason the message of nonviolence is imperative. Citizens of this nation must begin to notice a pattern in which the initiation of violence only results in violence.
Peace is not a simple concept and it may not always be possible. But its use in diplomacy is underrated. Nonviolent influence can be powerful, particularly for hegemonic powers, whether via altruistic care or economic boycots. In contrast, history has shown that using violence only results in more violence. As a begemonic nation the U.S. cannot afford to continue to make costly blunders like the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. Its government and its citizens must begin to heed the words of Martin Luther King Jr:
"The chain reaction of evil — hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars — must be broken."

University shouldn't place basketball above academics
You'll forgive me if I don't get drunk and call Free-For All like the rest of you the next time the basketball team has a home game. I'll be busy circling parking lots trying to go to the library.
Yes, the library. That building that houses books, which the athletic corporation needs in order to maintain its cover as a university. With no library there would be no NCAA tournament bid, and with no tournament bid, there would be no first-round loss to a backwoods junior college. Having lost to virtually every degree-granting institution in the country, the basketball team plans to get knocked out of this year's tournament by your younger sister's band camp team.
The University of Kansas breeds the worst fans in the nation. Continual dominance with no other
purpose has created a fan base of poor winners and poor losers. Earlier this season when the team had scored nearly twice as many points as Emporia State, the fans were disappointed that they didn't score 100. I've heard all about how Bucknell was an underrated seed two years ago, and how Bradley shouldn't have been a 13 seed. What's more likely is that Kansas wasn't supposed to be a four seed.

The basketball team exists as an excuse for the athletic corporation to make money and for the student body to party. Neither of those goals helps educate anyone. Enhanced exposure is not the same

thing as enhanced prestige.
Running a basketball program that did no harm to the University's chartered mission of education wouldn't be bad, if it were done hom-
estly and fairly. However, talented athletes are used to make money for everyone but themselves. When the team plays like a bunch of individuals who want to impress professional scouts, where does the University community get off complaining? That's the only incentive they've been given. They aren't playing for anyone besides themselves, and they know it.
In many ways the basketball program distracts from the University's
mission. Two nights a week, campus libraries are virtually inaccessible, as the bus service shuts down and seemingly every professional in Lawrence invades campus to watch a basketball game.
Why does the University of Kansas exist, to educate students or to make money? There are better ways to make money. Simple robbery would be more efficient, and in a way it would be more honest, too. At least then we could stop lying to ourselves about an educational mission, and we could stop getting worked up when the system we've created turns out a team that loses first-round tournament games and then enters the NBA draft early for large signing bonuses.

The proposed north Wescoe renovation was decided upon Wednesday afternoon, and is in early stages of planning. University Design and Construction Management said they felt this was a good step toward fixing Wescoe's issues.
"It makes more sense in terms of disruption to do the whole thing at once," Don Steeples, Vice Provost said.

War stress haunts student
ar
Iraq veteran tells traumatic tales
BY JOE HUNT
Dustin Crook goes to class, plays the occasional video game and has an energetic dog named Mr. E. A pile of crumpled beer cans covers the balcony of his apartment. But there's more to Crook than meets the eye.
Sarah Leonard/KANSAN
Dustin Crook, Olope sophomore, sits with his half Border Collie, half Dalmatian, crook. Mirox drove a Hurumee as part of a convoy in Iraq for over a year.
From February 2004 to March 2005, the Olpe sophomore was driving Humvees in Iraq. His Humvee was part of a convoy, and his job was to protect tractor trailers that carried supplies to other parts of the country.
Crook joined the Army a month after his 17th birthday. He didn't grow up playing with G.I. Joes, and other than his grandfather, no one in his family had ever been in the military.
"I never really planned on going into the Army," Crook said. "But I always wanted to go to college, and the Army was my way in."
Crooksfather, Todd, said he wasn't surprised when his son showed interest in joining the Army.
"If there was any kind of challenge that piqued his curiosity, he would just go do it," his father said.
From the moment he flew into Kuwit and drove across the border into Iraq, Crook knew that he was in for an experience unlike anything he had done before.
"There were all these people lined up, begging for food, living in mud shacks." Crook said. "That was my first reaction in Iraq: Whoa, this is the real deal."
Iraq was full of intense moments for Crook. He could tell you about the time he got out of his Humvee and saw dents from bullets in the side of his door.
"It's our standard procedure not to allow that, so one of the trucks cut this Suburban off." Crook said.
"Thank God we had bullet-proof siding on those Humvees, or I'd have been toast," he said.
Or, he could tell you about time when the convoy was attacked in the pitch black of night, when driving with no lights, except for two little white lights on the front of each truck and two little red ones on the back.
But the most painful experience came at a time when there was no combat and no real threat to his well-being.
Crook was driving in the back of a convoy when a Suburban full of Iraqis started weaving in and out of the trucks, trying to quickly pass the convoy on its way down the road.
"I just got my eyes on them two little red dots and I can see everything in my peripheral vision, RPGs going up and the flash of all the guns, and I'm just focused on the two little dots," he said.
The Suburban ran off the road and flipped about 15 times, killing eight of the people inside. As a crowd gathered, Crook had to pull out the dead bodies.
"That's when you sit back and think, 'This is wrong, these people didn't deserve to die.'" Crook said. "You feel scared when you're the reason that all these people are dead around you. That situation was scarier than getting shot at."
The Suburban incident was so distressing to Crook that it haunted him for months, even after he returned home. Eventually he was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
"I started noticing signs of road rage, short temper, I was getting in more tights," Crook said. "I started to realize that because of what I had been through. I was different from all my friends, they can't relate to that. Here I want to talk about these issues with the war, and no one really cares."
Apathy towards the war is something that still bothers Cork greatly. He loves to talk about his own experiences in Iraq, but no one ever asks.
Well, some do, but it's always the same kind of question.
"It's kind of sick, you come home and people are like, 'Did you kill anybody?' Crook said. "What kind of question is that?"
Life has began to settle down
for him. He's been dating his girl-
friend. Mandy, for over a year now.
He enjoys going to bars with his friends
and having a good time, like many college students do. And he has his dog, a half Border Collie half Dalmatian mix.
Crook expects to graduate with a degree in economics in May 2009. His commitment to the Army runs out in February 2010 and he still doesn't know if he will re-enlist. He said that the $15,000 signing bonus for re-enlisting was alluring, but the prospect of having to go to Iraq again would make it difficult, if not impossible, to begin raising a family during the six-year commitment.
"I saw things no one will ever get a chance to see, so I'm glad I got to do something like that." Crook said.
Whether he returns or not, his experiences in Iraq have been valuable, and they make him different than most students on campus.

Robinson leads Kansas to sweep of Colorado for fourth straight season

BOULDER, Colo. — The goal was to wear down Colorado by running the court, and Brandon Rush was feeling the pain.
"That's the first time all year that I've felt tired out there," the sophomore guard said.
advantage of the fatigue by stealing the ball five times. Colorado was never able to adjust to the pressure, and continued turning the ball throughout the game.
"We were trying to keep fresh bodies in there," Rush said. "I started feeling it with 18 minutes left in the first half."
The strategy worked and the Jayhawks won 75-46 in a high-energy, fast-paced game.
They were mostly successful.
The Buffaloes did, too, and junior guard Russell Robinson took
but the first half was not nearly as graceful as Kansas' 38 points would imply.
"You could tell they werent on the same page," Robinson said. "We tried to take advantage of that."
Play was constantly interrupted by fouls, out of bounds passes and a combined five time-outs.

'Hawks suffer baffling loss despite solid performances
BY CASE KEEFER
The sense of resiliency showcased in the Jayhawks's two consecutive victories last week never appeared against the Tigers. Old problems arose for Kansas as they were out-rebounded by six, shot only 28 percent in the second half, and committed foolish turnovers at inopportune times.
Kansas reverted back to its old ways in a 67-57 loss to Missouri on Wednesday.
"We scrap, fight, claw, and play, together in those wins," coach Bonnie Henrickson said, "we didn't do that tonight and I don't get it."
Freshman forward Danielle McCray made her first start of the season and nearly had her second consecutive double double with a career-high 11 rebounds and nine points. Henrickson didn't see the production she expected out of McCray, though.

Snow, field test team's resolve
BY ALISSA BAUER
Although the series against North Dakota State University was moved back five days to Feb. 18-20 in hopes of finding better weather conditions, the heavy ice that turned to snow showers late Monday night put a damper on those hopes.
Last spring Kansas was treated to a balmy winter. Most of the Jayhawks' preseason practices were outside, despite the fact that they did not play a game home until March.
To balance out the athletic department's 10-day class rule, Coach Ritch Price and his team created a game schedule to fit into the requirements. Price said that the 10-day class rule means the baseball队 was not to miss more than 10 days of class throughout the entire season, which certainly affects their schedule. This rule is specific to the University of
Kansas Athletic Department. It is not NCAA mandated.
With 60 regular season games already slated for 2007, this is a tough task, especially when the weather seems to be fervently against the Jayhawks ever opening at home. Last weekend's home series against South Dakota State was moved to the Metrodome in Minneapolis, and this weekend's home match up has already been pushed back because of the snow.
"I was pretty disappointed when I got out of class and saw the snow, but it's going to happen sometime," senior outfielder Kyle Murphy said about Monday night. "You can't write this weekend off yet."
That seems to be the last thing the Jayhawks are doing. As beneficial and nice as Murphy said the indoor

majority of "other" fans in the exact same random clothes they wore when they came in.
Kansas fans will look much more intimidating to opposing teams, and look much cooler in general, if fans would get the color scheme down. The University spent almost $100,000 defining its visual identity, and while the expense hardly seems worthwhile, we might as well use the work that they did.
According to those standards, the official color of KU is Kansas Blue, or Pantone 293 for those with
an eye for color technicalities. You may remember the football team changed its jerseys during the 2005 season from navy to the new blue in order to comply with the new rules

NEW YORK — Beyonce has hit another high note, claiming the coveted cover shot of this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in a yellow-and-pink bikini.
"The Dreamgirl As You've Never Seen Her," a cover headline teases. There's also a photo spread inside the magazine.
The 2007 swimsuit edition continues with a music theme inside featuring scantily clad poses modeling with Kane West, Aerosmith, Kenny Chesney.
The 25-year-old singer-actress ("Dreamgirls") posed on a Florida beach in the bikini designed by House of Dereon, the fashion label she started with her mother, Tina Knowles.

A five-page page featuring Russian Anne Vyalitsyna was shot at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland in September.
"Once the decision was made to have a music hook, one of the first settings to come up was the Rock Hall, because it's such an iconic place," said Sports Illustrated spokesman Rick McCabe. "It was a natural fit."
Valitsyna posed with Jon Bon Jovi's motorcycle and other Rock Hall items.

STEROID SCANDAL Reporters avoid jail time after lawyer admits leak
SAN FRANCISCO — Two San Francisco Chronicle reporters will avoid jail time after a criminal defense lawyer agreed to plead guilty to leaking secret grand jury documents from the BALCO steroids investigation.

San Francisco Giants' new starting pitcher Barry Zito loosens up his arm while throwing with teammate Steve Kline during spring training. Zito played last season for the Oakland Athletics.
Zito feels right at home with Giants in Scottsdale
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Barry Zito wandered into his new spring training clubhouse carrying an Oakland Athletics duffag bag and plopped into Barry Bonds' chair.
Oops!
"I probably don't know better yet," Zito said, chuckling.
It might have been a first in San Francisco franchise history. Zito requested that he dress next to the sluggereback home this season, too.
"Barry and I have a good relationship," Zito said. "If I can somehow lighten the load off of him, so you guys can just take a hard right when
you're going to his locker and start talking to me"
Zito reported to the Giants' spring training complex at Scottsdale Stadium on Wednesday sporting his signature relaxed style — jeans and a T-shirt.
A new $126 million, seven-year contract apparently hasn't affected the left-hander's ways. And it's clear he already feels part of his new team, even though the Giants' pitchers and catchers don't take the field together for the first time until Thursday.
"it's been pretty seamless," he said of the adjustment. "It feels good."

The field poses another problem. This season a new layer of infield was laid. Laying it out evenly on the infield took longer than expected because of a previous snow.

said "We could be outside and playing by then"
Should the weather continue its standoff and not reach the 50 degree weather forecasted for Sunday, it is
not likely that the Jayhawks will be able to play in another Major League ballpark this weekend. Price said that both Kansas and North Dakota State would be willing to push the series back two or three more days if needed.
Whatever the schedule or location, the layhawks are determined to play. Murphy, who is a veteran at the Metrodome after also playing there in junior college, knows how much good it did his team to not settle for a cancellation.
"It was definitely beneficial for us to play last weekend." Murphy said. If "wed had a whole week off after Hawaii, there definitely would've been more time in the hitting facility. We're trying to stay away from that."

VICTORY (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Jayhawks's passes became sloppier and their defensive coverage looser. The result was an eight-point game with three minutes to play. A time-out by coach Bill Self and a passionate lecture was enough to trigger a 9-1 run to close the half, putting the game out of Colorado's reach.
"We were really balanced tonight, but Russell set the tone for us," Self said.
Robinson wasn't the only one to step up big. Junior forward Darnell Jackson also had a big night, logging his time because junior center Sasha Kaen entered foul trouble in the game's first minutes. Self sent Kaun a message by leaving him on the bench to start the second half. He responded when entering the game by pulling down three rebounds and finishing an alley oop.
The team didn't suffer in Kaun's absence thanks to the play of jackson, who picked up 17 minutes of court time and continued a stretch of good play that began against Texas A&M.
"He's just doing a great job of playing to his strengths," Self said. "He's got more juice than he's had in a long time, I think."
Jackson attributed his play to a renewed focus on rebounding and defense. He said he's been able to block out a back injury that bothered him at the start of the year and focus on the game.
"Now I'm taking care of myself, so I don't have to worry about that," he said.
The play of Jackson and Robinson will be a welcome addition to a team that is now in a tie for first place in the Big 12 with Texas A&M, who lost Tuesday night.
A&M lost to Texas Tech as the Jayhawks were boarding a bus to their hotel in Boulder. The players were watching the game refresh on their cell phone screens, and even coach Self joined the players in a scream of excitement when the Aggies lost.
"It's a good feeling" Kaun said,
"But we have a lot of games left."

After benching Kaun rebounds for personal best
BY ASHER FUSCO
BOULDER, Cola. — The first few minutes of Wednesday night's game at Colorado looked all too familiar to Sasha Kaun. The junior center picked up two early fouls and headed to the bench even before all of the fans had trickled into the Coors Frontier Center.
"It was just one of those days," Kaun said. "I just wasn't in the right mindset from the start."
Kaun compensated for his early follies by playing a stellar second half in which he scored 10 points and grabbed eight
rebounds. Kaun's personal turning point in the game occurred when coach Bill Self left him on the bench coming out of halftime.
"It was just one of those days. I just wasn't in the mindset from the start."
"He wasn't playing or going after balls," Self said. "But I thought he played as well as anyone in the second half."
A humbled Kaun hit the court running when he entered the game soon after halftime. Kaun gave his struggling teammates numerous second chances by pulling down offensive rebound after offensive rebound. He also helped trigger an 18-4 Kansas run with a powerful dunk on an alley-oop pass from junior guard Russell Robinson.
"I tried to play smarter after half-time," Kaun said. "I mainly tried to limit my fouls."
During his outstanding second half, Kaun avoided what has been his biggest obstacle throughout his career: foul trouble. After notching two quick fouls to open the game, Kaun finished his 15 minutes of
playing time without adding another to that total.
Meanwhile, the officials charged freshman forward Darrell Arthur with four fouls, placing the onus on Kaun's shoulders as the game wore
SASHA KAUN Junior center
Kaun's reaction to the pressure was remarkable. His 10 point performance marked the first time in nine games he had reached a double-digit point total. His nine rebounds
on.
were a season-high, while his four blocks tied a personal season best.
Junior guard Russell Robinson and junior forward Darnell jackson also put together strong efforts, but Kaun was the only Kansas player to stand out.
As Kansas pulled away from Colorado in the final minutes of Wednesday night's contest, it was clear that Kaun is one of the most important pieces in the puzzle that is this Kansas team.
When Kaun struggled early in the game, the Jayhawks did not fare well.
When Kaun finally hit his stride, the Buffalo hoes had no answer.

> A group of Colorado students distributed a flyer called "Buffalo Chips" before the game to help the section with its chants. The Kansan obtained a copy, which opens by saying that Jayhawk fans "don't have to pack much, seeing that they are able to drive their homes into our state." Along with instant messenger names, here's what they dug up on ...
Rodrick Stewart:"4 staples in head from bar fight last year in Lawrence."
Brady Morningstar:"Dad Roger was KU basketball stand-out, Chant:"Dad d'y bet-ter"
Sasha Kaun: "From Tomsk, Russia. Moms name is Olga."
Brandon Rush: "Bros Kareem,
JaRon both NBA [not correct].
Chant: 'Ja-Ron his bet-ter'"
Julian Wright: "Fell on face after missing windmill dunk against CU."
Brad Witherspoon: "Never plays, only on the squad to pull up team GPA."
> Foul trouble early for Kaun and freshman forward Darrell Arthur proved just how deep this team is. Coach Bill Self was able to substitute often enough to keep the two ready for the second half.
> Colorado's guard Richard
Roby and Rush fought to a duel in a rematch fans had been waiting for since Roby had a big day at Alien Fieldhouse. The two neutralized each other, and neither had a huge impact on the game.
> As predicted, the crowd at the Coors Events Center was overwhelmingly pro-KU. The Jayhawk chants drowned out anything else in the arena. One other interesting note: they serve beer at the game. I guess you've got to do something to keep people in Boulder interested.
> Colorado's guards had a very hard time protecting the ball. As a result, junior guard Russell Robinson pulled in a lot of steals, but many of them were passes aimed straight at Robinson's chest.
> The Colorado ski team was introduced as the defending national champions. The Jayhawks can dominate the basketball court all day, but it won't mean anything until they take down the Buffaloes where it matters: on the slopes.

Cardinals player has busy offseason
》 MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — After helping the St. Louis Cardinals win their first World Series in 24 years, it could be argued that Albert Puiols had just as big of an offseason.
Last week, Punols became a U.S. citizen when he aced a test that required months of preparation. He skipped another potential highlight, a trip to the White House, to embark on a humanitarian mission to his native Dominican Republic.
"It was pretty busy," Pujols said. Wednesday. "Obviously, those are dreams come true."
During that whirlwind, the NJ MVP runner up was getting ready for spring training. He arrived at Roger Dean Stadium with his young son, A.J., in tow five days ahead of the five date for the full squad.
Pujols actually has been in town
since Friday, and had been working out at a high school with his personal trainer for several days. He was among about 20 Cardinals hitting the field on an informal basis on Wednesday in an early start to their title defense.
No NI team has repeated as the pennant winner since 1996 and there have been seven different World Series winners this decade. The Cardinals won only 83 games, fewest ever by a World Series winner, and nearly collapsed in the closing weeks.
"We probably didn't have the best year with our record, but who cares?" Puilols said. "But that's over, all of that in the past. Now I'm here in camp and celebration is over."
It was an extended one, though, capped a week ago by a citizenship swearing in ceremony at the Eagleton Courthouse in St. Louis.
About two relatives and friends were in attendance.
"Obviously, I probably will never work for the government, but the U.S. opened the door for my family." Puiols said. "It was awesome. It was a lot of hard work, but I came through."
Puilots, 27, had a practical reason for taking the test now. His resident alien card was about to expire.
"Every question was tough," Puibu said. "If they weren't tough, I wouldn't be starting on them for almost a year. It was crazy."
Last month's mission to the Dominican Republic was a similar accomplishment, a year in the planning. Accompanied by six doctors, he spent five days helping impoverished children, also organizing some games.
"Obviously it's a pretty neat thing going to the White House but I'm
glad I didn't miss my trip." Puols said. "We went down there to work and that's what we did.
"We saw some bad things but it was a great experience. It was awesome."
After connecting with his homeland, Pujols is eager to make a return trip.
"I want to go back so bad that if I could do it every month, I'd do it. When you close your eyes and think about it, you want to cry about it."
The off field activities haven't prevented Puiols from reporting in top shape, with none of the toot, back and hamstring issues that have dogged him in recent year. He noted, however, that there hasn't been much baseball related activity yet.
"I feel too strong right now, but it's better to be ready," Pujols said. "We'll see if i can hold on hopefully, for the whole year."

Royals spring camp will feature new faces Manager Buddy Bell looks to improve struggling franchise this year
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The arrival of a $55 million free agent pitcher and a hard hitting third base prospect should make this Kansas City's most interesting spring in many seasons.
A ratt of other new faces pouring into a talent-starved program that's lost 100 games four of the past five years also should make it one of the most competitive.
Not many jobs will be entirely safe when pitchers and catchers report this weekend for Dayton Moore's first spring training as general manager. And that's exactly the way he wants it.
"Competition is the No. I criteria all successful organizations have," said Moore. "Players know they've got to perform every day and be prepared to perform every day. We're excited about the competition and depth going into spring training."
Taking center stage will be Gil Meche, a right-hander with a career record of 55-44, a lifetime ERA of 4.65 and a shocking (at least for Kansas City) five-year $55 million free agent contract.
If anyone but Moche emerges as the No. 1 starter this spring, it'll
That makes him the highest-paid Royal ever, besides first baseman and designated hitter Mike Sweeney, who'll be on the final year of his own $55 million deal.
either mean owner David Glass' first venture into high-stakes free agent poker was a bust, or some young prospect came roaring out of nowhere.
"The commitment the organization made in me, that's going to come with a lot of responsibility," Meche, 28, said when he signed in December.
Third base man Alex Gordon will also be under scrutiny. Hitting for both power and average, Gordon was named minor league player of the year in 2006 and is expected to force Mark
"We don't want to put limitations on our players, but we don't want to put unrealistic expectations on them either," said Moore. "Guys who are special players sometimes move up quicker than you expect. As for Luke Hochevar, we have made an advanced decision to start him in Double-A. Gordon will be given an
"Players know they've got to perform every day and be prepared to perform every day."
Teaken into what could become a crowded outfield.
One difference in Moore and his predecessors, however, is a reluctance to rush young players to the majors. Outfielder Billy Butler, another gem in the minor league system, will also be in camp, but nothing short of a spectacular month in Arizona will keep him from opening the season at Triple: A Omaha.
Right hander Luke Hochevar, the overall No. 1 pick last year, will also be in camp but fans should not look for him on the opening day roster in Kansas City, either.

opportunity to force our hand out of spring training."
If Gordon establishes himself and Sweeney can shake the injury bug that's plagued him the past three seasons, the lineup could be appre-
ciably more productive.
Buddy Bell, back for his second full season, underwent surgery to remove a cancerous growth in his throat at the end of last season and has pronounced himself fit and ready to go.
"We're not going to know the true test of this team until they go through some hardships and some trials over the summer," Moore said. "But I do know this — the people we've brought into our organization expect us to win a World Series at some point in time."

Wildcats coach resigns one month after taking job
MANHATTAN — Kansas State's new defensive backs coach has resigned to take a coaching position at Miami, only a month after agreeing to coach the Wildcats, coach Ron Prince announced Wednesday
Wesley McGriff was the recruiting coordinator and cornerbacks coach for Baylor for the past four seasons, before accepting the Kansas State job Jan. 10.
Prince said that he was disappointed that McGriff took the job with Miami, but "the made an impact in the short time he was here and we wish him the best."
Prince said in a press release he expected to name another replacement for defensive backs coach Raheem Morris, who left Kansas State after one season to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' coaching staff.

ENTERTAINMENT Cox, Aniston reunite, kiss on season finale of 'Dirt'
NEW YORK — Expecting to see a passionate lip-lock between Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston on the season finale of FX's "Dirt?" It's not going to happen, Cox says.
"There is no tongue and it is really not a big deal to kiss," the 42-year-old actress tells syndicated TV entertainment show "Access Hollywood" in an interview set to air Wednesday.
"I am not saying," Don't tune in to watch Jennifer on the show; because she is fantastic and you get to see us together again," Cox says "But if you think it is just about a major make-out session, you will be disappointed."
Cox and Aniston co-starred on the long-running NBC sitcom "Friends," which ended in 2004.
In the March 27 season finale of "Dirt," Aniston, 38, guest stars as a lesbian magazine editor and rival to Cox's character, ruthless tabloid queen Spiller.
"When she first arrived, everyone was really quiet." Cox says. "It was like they were giving her respect, and I was like. This is my bud, Jen. Come on people, let's have some fun.' And by day two, everyone was more loose, and by day three, we were having a ball."
Aniston has a "great sense of humor" Cox says. "That girl cuts up just as much as the rest of us. She is very fun and she's goofy, and she is just a doll."
Stern to marry girlfriend despite earlier assertions
NEW YORK — Howard Stern once worried on the air that a marriage to longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky would only mess up a
good thing.
Stern announced on his satellite radio show on Wednesday that he had proposed the evening before — and Ostrosky had said yes.
It seems he's willing to take the risk.
It's a turnaround for the media maverick, who launched his satellite radio show last year with comments that he was happy to leave things as they were.
Stern told listeners that he surprised the model with an engagement ring while they were naked in bed.
"Are you for real?" he said she responded.
Stern and his ex-wife, Alison Berns, whose romance was the basis of his film "Private Parts," have three daughters. They divorced in 2001.

be offered a career
in the field of pharmacy,
the year prior to graduation.
With a good grade in
a college degree or at
the dental school, want to do

College is a long, strange trip and graduation is a big accomplishment. But for those who actually want to put their degrees to use, it's moving back in with mom and dad check out *O'Ff and Away* on page 10 Katrina Mohr breaks down some of the paths graduating seniors can take in their first few post college years, whether they are college students or mint traveling around the world or volunteering.
But we're not there yet

GRIFFIN ITALK PRO
by Laura Evers
When Chris Sawle took art History 109, last semester he knew the class wasn't going to be easy.
For every test, Saute, Glattle
juniors and classmates were required to memorize 40 to 50 different pieces of art along with the artist and time period. While the majority of the students made note cards, Saute took a different approach to studying by transferring the images from Google images onto his iPad.
"I're really helped, with memonization," he says. "I could take it, when I remember I went and had a fight with an entire stack of mochetes."
Along with the addres
convenience, Sawle was also
able to save money. Since
everything was downloaded to
his IPod he didn't have to pay
printing fees.
Saule is not the first person to use an iPad to further his education. In 2004, Duke University gave out iPads to all first year students attending the university so that they could easily access various podcasts and class records on their class record books.
Students don't need to attend
"THERE'S A LOT OF INTEREST IN (USING IPODS IN THE CLASSROOM), BUT OFTENTEMS TEACHERS CAN BE INTIMIDATED BY THE NEW TECHNOLOGY."
—JENNIFER CHURCH-DURAN, HEAD OF INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES FOR KU LIBRARIES
Duke University to be able to record lectures on their iPod.
Simply purchase an iPod attachment called the Griffin Talki Pro to record lectures. You can install devices plug into the bottom of your iPad and record onto its iOS seemingly endless storage space. Repay your cost by installing an important text.
Currently there no program for widespread use of iPods at the University of Kansas, but it might not be that far away, says Jennifer Church-Dusan, third-generation Services for ALU students.
The Talk Pro sells for around $40 at the KU Bookstore, 1301 Jayhawk Bldd.
"There's a lot of interest in it, but often teachers can be intimidated by the new technology." Church Duran says. "The most important thing is for faculty to have a support."
structure to help them become familiar with the equipment."
Several colleges are already implementing programs such as podcasts for use in foreign language study. Church-Duran talk. This enables students studying languages to hear the words repeatedly, instead of just seeing them written down
"Some students are better auditory learners," the says. "The use of the technology of hearing can make a difference for some students."
So far many faculty members have not turned to iPads to help them in the classroom, but libraries on campus are starting a new program that may change all this.
KU libraries, recently received equipment that will enable staffers to create multi- audio tours of the library for visitors. This will be in the form of a podcast that families students with
the building.
It will be simple to download a map of the library. Church Duran says, "Once everything is downloaded, students can access how to use the different databases in the library."
The new system will also tell students where they can retrieve certain materials from the library, making it easier for students to find what they need.
The library tour will only be presented in an audio format but the library has not outbrooked video as an option
Getting professors to embrace the idea of incorporating iPods further into the curriculum may take some time.
"There's a lot of potential," says Susan Zuwin, director of Instructional Development and Support. "It would take a lot of work to do in right, so we have to prepare it of preparation into the project."
Church Duran argues, "If you look around, the majority of college students already have [it], it's really just a matter of providing the appropriate program and a program like this is real."

Keep work professional and not personal. The workplace is not a playground for foreplay. Leave the heart of the moment secapades and taking each other right then and there to the bedroom. Kerner, relationship expert, says.

the attack. The five attackers work
together to score.
Defense consists of the point coverpoint, third man center, wings and goalkeeper The point coverpoint and third man hit the ball out of an opponent's stock rack. Stock rack runs the ball from the wings to the net where who must be able to keep the ball from the attack players. The goalkeeper protects the goal.
The setup. In women's lacrosse, 12 players take the held at a time; the goalie, six defenders, and five attackers. The point of the game is to shoot the ball into the opposing team's goal. The team that scores the most points in the most attempts in 10 plays takes the field at a time; the goalie, three defenders, three attackers and three midfielders.
Merris' lacrosse is played with an attacker, midfielders, defenders and a goalie. Attackers score goals midfielders, defenders and goalies keep the opponent from scoring. The goalie rejects shots from the goal.

**Action:** The game begins with the draw. One player from each team goes to the center of the field and the two held their stocks (claw crosses) together with the ball between them. When the referee sees the ball, the player throws it into the air and each player tries to take possession of the ball.
The gear. Women wear little protective gear during the game, moccashtues and eyegoggles are required, and some players choose to wear gloves. For this reason, body checks (sticking opponents with the crossbar) is not allowed. In men's lacrosse, the players are suited up in more protective such as helmets and pads, so they are allowed to make more physical contact; Davis Wiley women lacrosse coach
The workout: Men gain upper body strength that enables them to shoot the ball up to 100 mph. Wiley says lacrosse players must be able to quick punts and use quick steps to keep up with the pace of play. A heavy emphasis used to be placed on conditioning and weight training, but non practices focus more on spinning and speed. Wiley says At.

MY BOYFRIEND IS A HORRIBLE DRESSER. I LOVE HIM, BUT SOMETIMES I FEEL EMBARRASSED HANGING OUT WITH HIM. I START TO FEEL SILLY, LIKE I M OVERDRESSED. IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THIS THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE DOWNGRAINING TO SWEATPANTS AND PITISTAINED T-SHIRTS? — REBECCA, JUNIOR
First of all,let me
First of all, let me command you for looking past his criminal record with the fashion and police seeing the sweet gun on the inside of the door. There are lacky there are a number of things you can do to help him off Mr. Blackwell Wrists Dressed List.
Directly telling him he is a lesley dress is not the way to handle this imagine if your boyfriend told you that he thought your fashion sense sucked
What you hear is "I'm not attracted to you,loser."
This is a situation that calls for subtlety. Positive reinforcement is your ticket. That means, encourage him when he picks out something possible "Wow! You look great to you!" He might give you a shirt on another guy and a job. You would look so hot in "Oh, you would look so hot in that!" And of course, you could always volunteer to take him shop.
Through subtle manipulation,you
should see some major improvements.
Perhaps the best thing you can do, however, is to accept that while he doesn't have to be in front of you and list, he might never be considered "Best Dressed." if he's treating you right, accept his imperfections, and you may grow to find them undearing. If not, you're going to have the Queer Eye guys for some emergency help.
I M 21 AND GETTING READY TO GRADUATE. I M STILL A VIRGIN MY GIRL FRIENDS TELL ME THAT I HANDSOME AND THAT IF I WERE NOT A VIRGIN THEY WOULD HAVE SEX WITH ME. MOST OF MY GUY FRIENDS LOST THEIR V-CARDS TO ONE-NIGHT STANDS, HOOKUPS, EXES AND FRIENDS. I GUESSE I M STILL HOLDING OUT FOR THAT CORY/ TOPANG KIND OF LOVE. SHOULD I JUST GET IT OVER WITH AND "BREAK THE SEAL" SO I GET THE AWKWARD FIRST TIME OUT OF THE WAY SO I CAN FINALLY LAVE A LIFE OF SEXUAL FILMMENT?
MICHAEL, SENIOR
me,het's proud of you for holding out for that 'Cory/Topanga' kind of love; you say you want me to just get 'it' just get 'it' so you can live a life of sexual fulfillment" but let me ask you this. How "fulfilling" would be if he were to would be if he were to give the Cory/Topanga thing?
Of course you could just get it over, but up until this point you've chosen not to, so do you really want to love your virginity just because you're tired of being a giant? Don't. Too romantic to tie me up
Twenty one is still really young and I think if you can be patient and wait
until you meet someone you actually want to lose your virginity to, because you want to share sex with her and not because you just want to get rid of it; then you will have a much more fulfilling experience. The right woman is one you want, you're waiting, because it's hard to find guys these days who haven't lost it to one-night stands, friends or hookups like most of your friends.
wanted, I don't think you would be writing in to the school newspaper asking for a second opinion. That tells me that at least a part of you still wants to work
"I big be in惊慌 doing whatever feels right for you. If you truly feel you want to just lose your virginity and you're ready to have sex, then by all means go ahead. But if that's what you truly

DUST MITES
Don't be upset if you find yourself climbing into bed alone, because each time you slide between the sheets you can count on being greeted by oval-shaped creatures with hairy legs, no eyes and no teeth dust mites. Between 100,000 to 10 million of these mites occupy your mattress, says Grey Bolt, a researcher at Michigan University, science referring to a publication by the department of entomology at Ohio State University.
entomology at Ohio State University. The dust mists, not visible to the naked eye, are so light that they and their feces are often airborne, allowing humans to breathe
them in. Burg says it's the inhalation of the mites feed and shed skin that can cause cases of asthma and allergic reactions.
vaxing your sheets at a high temperature each week and regularly washing clothes and comforters are the best ways to avoid breathing in the shower of feces and mice carcasses and protect you from them. You fuss your pillow or walk across a carpet, says Patricia Dunning, student health physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center.

The walk down the hill for graduating seniors is 93 days away. On May 20, the class of 2007 will become college graduates. The prospect of graduation can be overwhelming because of the sheer number of possibilities completing school allows.
If you don't already have the next year of your life planned, take some time to review your options. With a little planning, you'll be prepared for your first year as a college graduate may May 21.
Burke went to work
Kevin Burke, 2006 graduate, jumped right into an i-BoS-1 month after he graduated. Burke got his job work through a contact at his previous job and in 2013 joined the Perceptive engineer at Perceptive Software. Burke says that he did a resume review and a mock interview through the University Career Center, 110 Burge Union, during his senior year. He had good feedback during the mock interview, he says.
"It wilt too hard for me to find a job in my desired field, so I didn't consider anything other than a job that would be Burke says. "People who don't know what they want to have other options to give them time to figure it out instead of taking a job doing something completely different."
Unlike Burke, many people come to the center with no idea of what they want to do, says
Melanie Privat, a career counselor at the University Career Center. Privat encourages students who are unsure about their futures to take advantage of the resources available to them by bringing into the job market will be more difficult after graduation when they're out on their own.
"There is no perfect job. Privacy says, 'That's a myth. A first job should feel good to you and be a stepping stone to getting you where you want to be. When entering the workforce, ask yourself can do this job for a year instead of can I笔它 here."
In addition to suggesting college graduates remain realistic about their first job experience, she also helps them gain job knowledge on the internet to find a job. She says that face-to-face networking is important and more effective because you never know when a job will open or create a position for you.
The University Career Center offers extensive career education and job search resources. Services include career assessment, career planning, cover letter workshops, job listings and advising. For fields that are difficult to break into with only a college diploma to your name, the center also offers internships and graduate school resources to give you the edge you need. These services include internship listings and research opportunities, application help, and personal statement workshops.

The three friends used the Internet and the advice of friends to plan their trip to New Zealand. The hardest task about traveling for long periods of time is getting a work area. Tidings say, Others than dealing with government procedures, Tidings says, have made it of life in New Zealand and learning it for about himself and the rest of the world.

KU Heads for Victory camping group shows their spirit in a BIG way by Jennifer Denny
(2) （3分）
On most days, Adam Seifer, Ottawa rhophoneh, blends into the bustling crowd on Mount Gleader Seefar goes to class; does his homework and plays with friends in his spare time; but of course he gamedays, he becomes a different person.
With the help of SPSR Seeger's overhealing jaywalk spirit, as he holds a larger than life Julian Wright head above the student section in Allen Fieldhouse, has been broadcast nationwide
The three-foot-tall head-shaped cutouts are a recent addition to a group of who lived in Oliver Residence Hall The group, which calls itself KU Heads for Victory, forced to camp out for men's home basketball games.
At each game you can see one camper clutch the over sized ears of junior guard Rustell Robinson, whose stem expression is enough to scrape the opposition down the court, while another camper vigorously waves the head of junior forward Darnel Jackson as he tries to distract an opposing player during his free
throat shoots, Seager gives credit to his friend Andrew Stanley Overland Park sophomore and that more character the group has.
The heads have become the pride of the friends, but this season alone the group has replaced their three times because of wear and tear to the unconventional items. Replacing them is because they are printed and mounted at Office InOalate in Oalate
A closer look at early editions of the posters reveals thin white lines dividing the features of junior center Sasha Kaun — and those of most of the other players who carefully assembled the signs from individual pieces of paper glued onto poster board.
After analyzing the condition of the original posters, Stanley is who misses the reminder of the season while studying abroad in Costa Rica struck a deal with 230 St. Brewery 3512 Clinton Parkway In exchange for the restaurant's logo printed on the back of the grinned mugs, the restaurant
paid for the newest set of high quality signs.
Members of KU Heads for Victory display the larger-than-life niggins of their favorite Jawhawk olavers.
Matt. Llewellyn, managing partner of *31st Street Brenda* was excited about the idea of helping the group produce their wigs when Stanley called "they're wearing them and obviously seen the head." I was absolutely all over it. My great exposure Llewellyn says.
Even though the friends no longer live under one roof, Seeger has made time to attend each game's men and diligently its, and sometimes sleeps, in the fieldhouse to ensure that the kids are protected for him and others in the KU Heads for Victory camping group.
The group now parades the heads of all 14 players, a few of the coaches, KU broadcasting legend Max Falkenstein and even sports broadcasting great Dick Vittale who announced the KU-Tex ABM game for ESPN; College GameDay on Feb. 3.
The 6 a.m. roll calls and four hour shifts at the fieldhouse are just a part of the effort required for the job. Says Luckily for him, the 30
members of KU Heads for Victory are reliable and dedicated, so the group is typically able to place in the top half of camping group.
"I remember Roy's Boy, the guy who dressed up as the Dancing Nanny, the guy who always wore the orange stocking hat, and this guy who wore an orange wig and went crazy when the camera went on to him. I just wanted us to be known for something of our own as well." Stanley says.
As Seeger sits surfing the internet in the concourse of Allen Fieldhouse, among some groups hammocks some groups and hammocks of nuance of early mornings and long afternoons, he looks forward to getting the ultimate seats behind the goal for the next game. He says the time is right for the fielderhouse is well worth it.
"They might哭个I'm a little crazy." Seer says, referring to his friend not in the campground. "But when they're sitting here, if we offend and I at the bottom, I know I make a good choice."
MARKS
NOT JUST A GUY THING
Katie Mayer, Overtree, a park sophomore, is one of 15 females in the Ktuxi camping group.
**why she likes it:** Maya loves being close to the action and helping the team to victory. The early mornings are great for games, she would do anything for good seats to all the games, she says. After
the games, Mayer and the rest of the group are often found showing down at 23rd Street Breery and recounting the game.
She says: "It's really cool.
She's really fun being a part of group of people who are so enthusiastic.
Everyone is so into it, and it gets you more excited at the games."
she says.

TIP, DON'T STIFF
A look at the time-honored tradition of tipping.
by Jaime Netzer
When a group of 25 leather-clad bikers and their girlfriends strolled into the Overland Park junior park, got nervous. her first shift at Stix, 1847 Village West Parkway, a sophisticated neighborhood near the Kansas Speedway.
She had years of experience at Applebees' under her belt, but this was different. At Stix, her dark hair had to be pulled neatly out of her face, her makeup kept clean. She wore all black, from her lacey top, and a white shirt. The dress code was strictly enforced, she could be fired for arriving a red or blue pen.
Phan took the group's order and continued to serve them alcohol and check on them. As they drank and ate their way to a $1,200 tab, they joked with Phan and even asked to take the bill with him. They then paid the bill and left Phan a $300 tip.
She returned to the table making sure the man paying the bill meant to take an extra 20 percent on the automatic fuel he already figured into the bill. He would have made it "he could," he replied.
Americans have been leaving tables on sites since the late 1800s. Restaurant patrons expect to figure a tip in with
their final bill, but the mystery for many is just how much is enough and exactly who deserves a t.i.

Jensen, who
works at Marcos 4824 W17th St. knows firsthand how much servers rely on kips "Sometimes you have paychecks you come out to help."
Why so tipsy?
There are several theories regarding why we tip so religiously says Leonard Green, a professor at the University who specializes in researching the practice of tipping. The main reason people tip is that it is an established tradition and taught from a young age that
When Chris Chiles, Salina sophomore, goes out to eat, he tips according to the service he receives. Chiles, who has never been a server, says that tips to the service are for great great service, but if the service is just average, he leaves 15 percent of the bill.

Phan also tips well. "If I've had phenomenal service, sometimes I'll tip as much as 100 percent," Phan says. "My friends think I'm crazy, but I know what it's like to work as a server."
we are obliged to tip.
People may alsoate atip as a sincere token of appreciation, according to Green.
Other motivations for tipping include ensuring future good service and to avoid seeming like a freeloader.
One might feel guilty if one doesn't tip. Green says, "There've been a couple of times when I've gotten horribly bad service and of course I still tipped." Green says, "What does tipping have to do with good service?"
Stiff and collit?
But "not everyone feels too guilty to stifle a water or leave a marginal tip. Holly Hayworth Virginia Beach, Va. senior was on the staff at the service at the Yacht Club. 530 "constest" saint that she tipped
only the change needed to round her bill up to the next dollar.
Hayworth says she usually ties to tip well because both of her sisters have been servers. Hayworth said she was minutes for Hayworth to get her bill, and then an additional 20 minutes to fix it because he had been split incorrectly. "It was a mistake," Service 130 ever did, "she said."
Lizzie Post, great-great granddaughter of etiquette expert Emily Post and author of the soon-to-be-published book *What's It Like?*, Thing's, that it is always better to go ahead and leave a 15 percent tip for your water and then tell the manager of the restaurant that you had poor service. You'll feel better that way Post says, and you avoid ticking someone off.
Post used to work as a cocktail waitress herself and says that she never leaves less than 20 percent tip.
Phan thinks everyone should work in the service industry at some point. "Work two years in the service industry and you can really make a difference," Phan says. "You will understand efficiency and read people."
Whether you follow Phans advice or not, remember, your tip is someone else's salary.

PETER LAMONT
Hannibal Rising
In Hannibal Rising, writer Thomas Harris and director Peter Webster set out to answer the question. How did Hannibal become so smart, so charismatic, so evil?
They begin in 1940 Europe, where young Hannibal's family is murdered by the Nazis — his younger sister is even eaten by group of stranded 55 soldiers. Years later, a teenaged Hannibal (Gaspard Ullé) pulls up a knife and murders his revenge on the cannibals, developing an abnormal appetite in the process.
As a film, *Hannibal Rising* is predictable, loaded with cliched dialogue, insulting to the audience's intelligence and monumentally boring. As a piece in the Hannibal Lector canon, it's a different atrotery.
With other infinite elements, part of the brilliance of the *Science of the Lamb* was the mystery surrounding Dr. Lector He was feared, respected and strangely likable. Here, the mystery falls away like the throught hole of a window, revealing more than a banal, monotonous medical student.
With any luck, this will be the last gap of the lukuster Silence sequels, because it can't image a film that has a worse tone in viewers' mouths.

When my house burned down while I was hiking on a glacier, it changed my outlook and cooled my perfectionism.
The day my childhood hours burned was the first time in my life that flick list I was 12 years old hitting pittsburgh, and I had just graduated from the only university I ever felt like a job had been built out from under me. I was an obsessive-compulsive kid who worried about everything from the germs in the swimming pool to the angle of the pillows on the futon in my mom's family room. The prospect of attending school took an action role in making decisions for my life, was a little frightening.
My mom and my stepad are realists. Late July marks the end of the busy real estate season in Los Angeles, a trip to Alaska that summer.
A trip to the Last Frontier would earn me lots of bragging rights back in school so I was excited. As we waited to board the plane, my mom made me try to use the restroom one last time. After washing my hands so long that I needed Vaseline to handle my chapped hands and getting yelled at

We stayed with Oma for the first week of school before we moved into a significantly smaller house. until we could build our new

I realized I could live without everything I'd had since I was a kid because I cared less about being clean and organized and stopped being so picky. I became less attached to material items and to houses especially, and now have lived in my life for 51 years. It's exciting to experience a new place to live.
Although I still straighten the pillows on the couch sometimes, I learned early and quickly to be more flexible. Looking back, I was lucky to lose my house because I gained perspective on the importance of material items. I remembered how that of our fires grazes my mind probably less than once a year. I would have been a different person without it.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 18)
"She's been playing confident lately," she said, "but tonight I certainly wasn't thrilled with her performance."
Part of Henrickson's disappointment stemmed from what McCray did with her rebounds. Although she pulled down tour offensive boards, McCray had trouble capitalizing on the opportunity for second-chance points.
It wasn't only McCray but the whole layhawk frontcourt who struggled in this area. Despite grabbing 17 offensive boards as a team, Kansas had only 18 second-chance points.
"That's great that we got offensive rebounds but we need to convert them." freshman forward Sade Morris said, "If we do that, this game is another story."
Coming off of the bench, Morris was effective in her 24 minutes of play Wednesday. She had ten points, which is more than she has had in
Even Morris waking up from a slump was not enough to dig Kansas out of their offensive hole. Henrickson expected junior forward Taylor McIntosh and freshman guard Kelly Kohn to contribute a substantial amount of points, but that didn't happen. The two combined for only four points on a miserable 11 percent from the field.
nearly a month, and grabbed five rebounds, only one shy of tying a career-high.
"When Taylor and Kelly shoot like that, I don't know who were going to beat." Hendrickson said.
Shaquina Mosley was sensational again despite the loss. The senior guard had a career high 22 points and nine rebounds.
But the Jayhawks couldn't find a way to complement her at the most critical of times. With 10:24 remaining, Mosley hit a three from the top of arc to cut the Tiger lead to 47-46 it was followed by nearly
a six minute scoring drought by the lajhawks.
"Some of us lost our confidence after we missed easy shots," Mosley said. "Then we started shooting tentatively."
Mosley once again revived Kansas small hopes of a comeback with 3:21 remaining as she penetrated the lane for a lay up to make the score 59-51. Once again, the Jayhawks's shots didn't fall and they were held scoreless for over three minutes.
"I don't know if they were scared of getting their shots blocked or what?" Henrickson said, "but we weren't posed."

Jayhawks fall despite productive first half
BY TAYLOR BERN
After falling to a quick eight point deficit to rival Missouri, Kansas responded with an empowering 15-0 run.
Freshman Sade Morris finished the first half with nine points, nearly three more points than her game average. However, Morris cooled down and scored one point in the second half.
"The hungriest team dominates the boards and dominates in transition," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We didn't come out the hungriest team and that is disappointing."
A game high 22 points from senior Shaquina Mosley wasn't enough for the lajahwaks to overcome a lackluster defense and a balanced Missouri attack, as the Tigers won. 67-57.
As soon as her team fell behind, Missouri guard Alysse Hollins stepped up and hit 3-4 of 4 beyond the arc in the first half.
In the second half, the Jayhawks' defensive woes moved from the arc to the paint where Missouri forward FelTisha Riddle took advantage of every misstep that Kansas made. Riddle finished the game with a team high 15 points, while senior forward Carlyn Savant poured in 11. Both players were given than a few open lay ups due to miscommunication amongst the Jayhawk defenders.
"For a team that leads the league in three-point field goal percentage defense, we didn't look like it," Henrickson said.

Kansas clawed and scratched its way to consecutive Big 12 victories over Colorado and Texas, but according to Mosley and Morris, the team didn't have the same intensity or confidence going into the Missouri game. Henrickson chalked it up to playing soft.
Edited by Jyl Unruh
"Welet shooters run away from us and got hung up in screens and just played soft defensively," Henrickson said. "We had a lot of people who did not show up."

The Wellness Resource Center, part of Student Health Services, sponsored "Sexual Responsibility Week by handing out safer-sex kits and educating students about sexually transmitted infections." It had a booth set up in the Kansas University on Thursday where students could win prizes and free stuff, such as safe-sex kits, coasters and towels.
Women lead GPA, enrollment stats
BY NATHAN GILL
"There are people that are worried that men are falling behind." Wolf
Lisa Wolf Wendel, professor of education, sad women in general were more likely to graduate from high school, go to college and graduate with higher GPA's than men.
Women at the University of Kansas are graduating faster and with higher grade point averages than men.
According to University data, women's GPAs have been about 2. GPA points higher than men's since at least 1996. The percentage of women graduating in four, five and six years has exceeded that of men since 1985, according to the most recent University data.
Wendel said.
Wolf-Wendel said women were the majority of students in almost every academic area except mathematics, engineering and the physical sciences. She said some American universities had female-student populations near 70 percent.
Wolf-Wendel said she didn't know exactly why women were outperforming men. She said some have argued that K-12 education was not conducive for men because the teachers were women. This is just one of many possible answers.
"I do think that this is an indication that we need to be actively recruiting men." Wolf Wendel said.
Frank DeSalvo, associate vice prov for student success, said the

Domestic partner bill hearing opens up
BY MATT ERICKSON
The bills first hearing in the House Federal and State Affairs committee took place Thursday.
A bill in the state House of Representatives would stop Lawrence from creating a city domestic-partner registry.
The bill, submitted by Rep. Lance Kinzer (R-Olathe), would forbid cities and counties from recognizing "any domestic-partner relationship not recognized under state law"
A registry would allow domestic same-sex couples and unmarried, domestic, opposite-sex couples to formally document their relationships, but it would provide no legal rights.
Last month, a majority of the city commission supported the idea of a domestic-partner registry.
Kinzer said that domestic-relationship law should be created at the state level, and he didn't support domestic-partner registries in general. He said Lawrence's discussion of a registry prompted his creation of the bill.
"If you look at the Lawrence bill in particular, I just question what is the public-policy goal that's attempting to be achieved," Kinzer said.
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, city commissioner, said he would support a statewide effort to document domestic-partner relationships, but he said no statewide measure was likely.
"We should have the freedom to take care of the needs of our citizens on a local level". Highberger said.
Highberger said a registry would allow couples to publicly acknowledge their relationships and to provide documentation to employers that offer benefits like health insurance to domestic partners of employees.
Kinzer said that government would be overstepping its bounds to create a policy tailored to private companies' rules. He said most companies asking for documentation of domestic relationships were probably not sincere in their offers for benefits.
"I think that typically is a cop-out on the part of those companies that

Men's basketball tickets frequently go unclaimed
Hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of tickets in the student section at Allen Fieldhouse go unclaimed at men's basketball games.
Even at the Kansas State game, which had the second highest student attendance of the season, more than 500 seats reserved for students were either sold to the general public or left empty because students did not show up to the game.
Associate Athletics Director lim Marchiony said sometimes not all 4,000 student tickets were redeemed during the three day ticket pick up. When that happened, he said the ticket office sold some of the unclaimed student tickets as general admission. He said they waited until two hours before the game started and after all camp groups were let into the game to sell the seats that students redeemed but had left empty.
"We just eyeball the situation as
the place fills up," he said.
Marchiony said that many of the seats were filled by family members of students who bought general admission tickets and sat in the student section.
In 2005 the Athletics Department cut student tickets by 300. In 1990 the student section consisted of more than 7,000 seats. The Athletics Department sold a large portion of those seats to the other fans after they went unsold when offered to students. Bob Frederick, athletics director at the time, often said he wanted to fill 45 percent of the fieldhouse with students. At four games this year, students took up less than 10 percent of the seats available in the entire fieldhouse.
George Regan, Shawnee senior, said he made the commitment to camp out and attend games because he wanted to attend as many games as possible while he still had the opportunity to buy tickets at student prices.
Student attendance at games
The student attendance numbers for the 2006-07 basketball season are below.
Washburn: 2,806
Emporia State: 1,901
Northern Arizona: 3,008
Oral Roberts: 2,365
Towson: 1,805
Tennessee State: 1,501
Dartmouth: 1,629
"My parents and my uncle pay for season tickets and they put money into the Williams Fund and they still can't get as good of seats as we can with a camp group," he said.

Oklahoma State: 2,319
Missouri: 2,999
Colorado: 2,959
Texas A&M: 3,626
Kansas State: 3,477

Regan said he preterred attending games to watching them on TV because of the environment at the fieldhouse.
"It's the way many things are going in normal everyday life, you pay for gas on a card, you get food at the Burge that way. It's just the way things are going," he said.
"It feels like you can have an impact on the game" he said.
Starting two seasons ago, student tickets switched from actual paper tickets to electronic tickets redeemed on KUIDs.
Marchiony said one reason for the switch was to curb ticket scalping. He said students initially complained about the $2.50 fee to transfer tickets from one ID to another but that he hadn't heard much negative feedback since the fee was eliminated.
Regan agreed that the lack of paper tickets was not a problem. He said friends without tickets found someone who wasn't attending and used their 1D to get in.
Though attendance lagged at some games against lesser-known teams and during winter break, the past home games had the highest student attendance of the season.
Marchiony said despite the occasionally low numbers, students needn't worry about losing more seats any time soon.
"There's absolutely no chance that the number of student seats will be reduced," he said.

Fetus protection bill enters stage two

TOPEKA — A proposed "Alexa's Law" for protecting mothers-to-be and their fetuses won first-round approval Thursday in the House, despite questions from abortion rights supporters about whether it's needed.
The bill, advanced on a voice vote, would make it possible to charge someone with murder, manslaughter, vehicular homicide or battery for killing or harming a fetus. It says the definition of "person" for those specific crimes includes an "unborn child" at "any stage of gestation from fertilization to birth."
Although such proposals have been considered before, this year's measure was inspired by the murder of a 14-year-old Wichita girl and named for her near-term fetus whom the family had named Alexa.
Abortion rights supporters are suspicious because abortion opponents back the bill, and its passage is an important goal for Kansans for Life, the state's largest anti-abortion
group. Also, abortion rights supporters noted, the state has laws enacted in 1995 making it a crime to harm a pregnant woman.
However, the bill's backers said they want the criminal law to recognize that when a pregnant woman or girl is harmed, two separate individuals have been attacked.
"The victim's family recognizes it," said Kathy Ostrowski, who lobbies for Kansans for Life. "The medical community understands it. The legal community understands it. It's two distinct DNAs."
Rejection of two alternatives crafted by abortion rights supporters suggested the bill has enough support to pass the House either Friday or Monday, and go to the Senate where it faces an uncertain future.
Similar legislation won House approval in 2002 and 2005, only to die in the Senate without a committee vote.
Thirty-five states have some law making it a crime to kill or harm a fetus, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures,
including Alabama, California,
Illinois, Missouri and Ohio. However,
laws vary state-to-state, and not all
apply from conception.
In Kansas, backers of the proposed "Alexa's Law" point out that

"The victim's family recognizes it. The medical community understands it. The legal community understands it. It's two distinct DNAs."
The bill specifically exempts doctors performing abortion, but abortion rights activists still worry that
in movement in the strangling. One, a juvenile, pleaded guilty to a capital murder charge, while two adults await trial.
Rep. Steve Brunk (R-Bel Aire) showed off petitions signed by nearly 6,000 people in favor of the bill, generated by the Web site.

"It truly is people rising up across
it represents a first step toward banning the procedure. They found it telling that supporters named the measure after the fetus and not the girl.
Abortion rights supporters twice proposed amendments to
replace the proposed "Alexa's Laws" with proposals for increasing penalties for criminals who harm pregnant women. Both amendments failed, though they embodied an approach supported by Attorney General Paul Morrison, an abortion rights Democrat.
POLITICS
Boyda clarifies misconceptions on war stance
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT LEAVENWORTH — In campaigning for Congress, Nancy Boyda blunted questions about her stance on the war in Iraq by telling voters shed support the troops even if she had misgivings about their mission.
That approach worked for the Democrats, but now Republicans are trying to undercut whatever support she enjoys among veterans in the 2nd District of eastern Kansas.
A month into her first term, she faced criticism for voting for a military spending bill that didn't earmark money for construction projects in her district.
"Very few things surprise me in politics — very few things," said
Boyda earlier this week before attending a ceremony at Fort Leavenworth's Command and General Staff College.
"I am surprised at the level of hostility and the personal nature of the attacks, especially when I am working hard to try to clean up the mess I've been left," said Boyda.
The firestorm comes as the House prepares to vote Friday on a nonbinding resolution condemning President Bush's plan to send 21,500 troops to quell the violence in Iraq.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said the Democratic resolution was the first step in a longer campaign to end U.S. participation in the nearly four year-old conflict.
The war in Iraq was part of the platform that helped Boyda defeat
incumbent Republican Jim Ryun in November.
She asked voters to send her to Congress to be more critical of the war, which has claimed more than 3,100 American lives.
But the issue required her to make clear her support for the troops because she participated in prewar protests and the district includes Forts Leavenworth and Riley.
Ryun already has told Kansas Republicans that he's leaning toward a rematch, and he's expected to make an announcement by April.
State Treasurer Lynn Jenkins is considered a potential candidate as well.
In 2008, Boyda is likely to be one of the GOP's "prime targets," said Duke University political scientist
David Rohde.
"That's a reflection of it being such an attractive opportunity," he said. "It's a widely held opinion that Boyda didn't win the district, Ryun lost the district."
He said a few districts like Boyda's are tilted heavily enough toward to the military to make votes in Congress relevant.
And newspaper editorials, state legislators and the Governor's Military Affairs Council all have decried the recent spending vote.
Boyda contends that the House's former GOP majority left her and others in a no-win situation. Congress approved only two of 11 spending bills before leaving power in January.

Outbreak forces peanut butter recall
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — Government scientists struggled Thursday to pinpoint the source of the first U.S. salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter, the kid favorite packed into millions of lunchboxes every day.
Nearly 300 people in 39 states have fallen ill since August, and federal health investigators said they strongly suspect Peter Pan peanut butter and certain batches of Wal Mart's Great Value house brand
- both manufactured by ConAgra Foods Inc.
Shoppers across the country were warned to throw out tars with a product code on the lid beginning with "2111," which denotes the plant where it was made.
How the dangerous germ got into the peanut butter was a mystery. But because peanuts are usually heated to high, germ-killing temperatures during the manufacturing process, government and industry officials said the contamination may have been caused by dirty jars or equipment.
"We think we have very strong evidence that this was the brand of peanut butter. Now it goes to the next step of going to the place where the peanut butter was made and focusing in on the testing," said Dr. Mike Lynch, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The suspect peanut butter was produced by ConAgra at its only peanut butter plant, in Sylvester, Ga., federal investigators said.
ConAgra said it was not clear how many jars are affected by the recall. But the plant is the sole producer of the nationally distributed Peter Pan
brand, and the recall covers all peanut butter - smooth and chunky alike - produced by the plant from May 2006 until now.
"We're talking a lot of jars of peanut butter." said
"We're trying to understand what else we can do or should be doing."
Dr. David Acheson, chief medical officer of the Food and Drug Administrations Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.
hospitalized, and there were no deaths, the CDC said.
CHRIS KIRCHER
ConAgra Spokesman
FDA inspectors visited the now shut down plant Wednesday and Thursday to try to pinpoint where the contamination could have happened. The FDA last inspected the plant in 2005. Testing was also being done on at least some of the salmonella victims' peanut butter jars, but investigators said some may have already been discarded.
About 85 percent of the infected people said they ate peanut butter, and about a quarter of them ate it at least once a day, the CDC's Lynch said. It was the only food that most of the patients had all recently eaten.
The highest number of cases were reported in New York, Pennsylvania. Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri. About 20 percent of all the ill were
"We think there's very strong evidence that it was this brand of peanut butter," Lynch said.
Salmonellasickens about 40,000 people a year in the U.S. and kills about 600. It can cause diarrhea, fever, dehydration,
But most cases of salmonella poisoning are caused by undercooked eggs and chicken. The only known salmonella outbreak in peanut butter, in Australia during the mid-1990s, was blamed on unsanitary plant conditions.
abdominal pain and vomiting.
ConAgra spokesman Chris Kircher said the company randomly tests 60 to 80 jars of peanut butter that come off its Sylvester plant's line each day for salmonella and other germs, and have had no positive results for years. But he said the plant was shut down as a precaution for further investigation.
"We're trying to understand what
else we need to do or should be doing" Kircher said.
An estimated 974 million pounds of peanut butter are sold each year in the U.S., and peanut butter and jelly is the most popular sandwich among children. Peter Pan is one of the nations top three brands, though well behind market leader Jif. Great Value peanut butter is also produced by some other manufacturers for Wal-Mart.
In a measure of peanut butter's popularity, ConAgra's hot line was swamped with so many calls after the recall was announced on Wednesday that many people got a busy signal. School officials in Houston confiscated students' sandwiches from home and replaced them with those made at schools. And in Georgia, a lawmaker representing one of the nation's biggest peanut-producing areas warned colleagues to throw out jars of peanut butter that he recently handed out.
The strain in this outbreak, Salmonella serotype Tennessee, is comparatively rare, as is salmonella contamination of peanut products, said Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of food safety at the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
"It's taken them a long time to identify peanut butter as the cause, but that may be because they had to get over their denial. It's just not one of the first things you'd suspect," Smith DeWaal said.

Court sentences foster parents
Children reassigned to new homes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORWALK, Ohio — A couple who forced some of their 11 adopted, special-needs children to sleep in wire-and-wood cages were sentenced to two years in prison Thursday, after the parents insisted they were only trying to keep the kids safe.
Sharen Gravelle told the court the children were never confined as punishment but rather to protect them, including a child who wanted to jump out a second-floor window.
Two of the children, however, said in statements read in court that they were treated harshly while they lived with Sharen and Michael Gravelle. One wrote that they should be imprisoned "for as long as my siblings had to be in cages."
"Would you prefer that we let
Would them jump? Either way, wed be here. The difference is they're still alive," she said in a tearful, 26-minute statement.
Gravelle blamed social services officials for not helping her and her husband.
Michael, control the destructive behavior of some of the youngsters.
Each could have received up to five years in prison for each of the four felonies they were convicted of in December. They also were convicted of seven misdemeanors.
Sharen Gravelie kept her head down taking notes while the judge read the sentences. Michael Gravelie sat back in his chair, holding his face in his left hand.
The children, who suffered from problems such as fetal alcohol syndrome and a disorder that involves eating nonfood items, ranged in age from 1 to 14 when authorities removed them in September 2005 from the Gravelelle' home in Wakeman, about 60 miles west of Cleveland. They were placed in foster care in fall 2005 and the couple lost custody last March.
Michael Gravelle, his face red and his voice rising, told the judge he and his wife "felt we were being led by the Lord" when they decided to bring the first child into their home.
"Because of them I don't have to steal food.I can use the bathroom whenever I want.Never again will I have to sleep in a box."

He said the enclosures resulted from the suggestions of a social workers, who recommended strict rules to improve the children's behavior.
He said problems began when they took in a group of siblings with an array of behavior and emotional problems.
"I'm begging you." Michael Gravelle told the judge. "I do not deserve jail."
"What do you do with these
ANONYMOUS BOY Former Gravelle foster child
The two children whose statements were read in court, a girl and a boy, were in the courtroom Thursday. The boy wrote that he was "thankful that part of my life is behind me."
He said of his new foster parents, "Because of them I don't have to steal food. I can use the bathroom whenever I want. Never again will I have to sleep in a box"
The girl's statement said Sharen Gravelle treated the children more harshly than her husband did.
"are grown adults who know the difference between right and wrong. So I ask that they get as much time in jail for as long as my siblings had to be in cages."
"Mom, you walked around like you were God, then whenever you did go places you were Mother Teresa taking in the poor black kids that no one wanted," she said.
The Gravelies have said they will appeal their convictions. The judge allowed them to remain free on bond pending the appeal.
Prosecutors said the Gravelles were cruel. Witnesses, including the sheriff and some of the children, said the cages were urine stained and lacked pillows or mattresses, but a social worker and others who testified for the defense said they never witnessed abuse and that the children's behavior improved because of the bright blue and red cages.
One Gravelle child testified he was forced to live in a bathroom for 81 days, sleeping in a bathtub because of a bed-wetting problem. The Gravelles' attorneys said the boy exaggerated the length of his bathroom stay, and an expert for the defense testified that the technique helped the boy.
The girl said the Gravelles
GOVERNMENT
The couple has said they needed to keep some of the children in enclosed beds with alarms to protect them from their own dangerous behavior and stop them from wandering at night.
Bush grudgingly allows $464 billion increase
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON(AP)—President Bush on Thursday signed a $464 billion spending bill that closes out last year's unfinished budget business but made clear he wasn't entirely happy about it.
Bush said in a statement that he was pleased the bill sticks to his overall budget caps. But he said the Democratic-led Congress did so by shifting "funding needed for our armed forces to unrequested domestic programs."
The mammoth bill pulls together nine unfinished spending bills funding foreign aid and every domestic agency budget except the Homeland Security Department. This budget work should have been completed months ago but was delayed because of election-year pressures.
"The Congress should work to address these priorities without adding to the deficit," he said.

It freezes most accounts at 2006 levels while awarding exceptions for other programs favored by Democrats and many Republicans — paid for primarily by putting off
Among the beneficiaries is the National Institutes of Health, the FBI, and an increase in the maximum Pell Grant for lower-income college students. The rapidly growing veterans health care budget got a 13 percent boost. U.S. contributions to fight AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis overseas would rise 40 percent
the cost of implementing a 2005 round of military base closings.
The bill provides increases for underperforming schools and community health centers, and grants to state and local law enforcement agencies. Amtrak's budget would be frozen at $1.3 billion instead of absorbing a $400 million cut proposed by Bush.
The president also said that Congress should do more to reform the process of specially funded pet projects in the upcoming bills funding the government for the 2008 fiscal year. Bush urged lawmakers to "continue to take steps to improve transparency for all earmarks, provide the option of an up or down vote for each earmark, and reduce the number and cost of earmarks by at least half"

Johansson receives sweet reward

Mass. on Thursday.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Not quite the Oscar, but Scarlett Johansson was still all smiles Thursday about being crowned the Harvard Hasty Pudding woman of the year.
She participated in a mock SAT exam, and endured a lampooing of her famous unclad Vanity Fair cover pose. But the blonde actress kept mum when asked to make an analogy between director Woody Allen, in whose films she has appeared, and fashion designer Issac Mizrahi, who groped her breast on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last year.

"Thank you so much for this fabulous golden pot. It's been such a wonderful day. This is the closest I'll ever get to a Harvard degree for sure," Johansson said. "It's a real honor and I can't wait till later tonight when we party."
She was gleeful, though, in accepting the award.

Lack of voter turnout kills
referendum prematurely
The special election held Wednesday and Thursday for two transportation referendums failed them both.
Ten percent of the student body needed to vote for the election to be considered certified or valid. Both referendums lacked the necessary 2,677 votes the Student Senate considers to be 10 percent.
According to the Student Senate Election Committee Website 1,435 students voted for the first referendum. The second received 1,462 votes.
The first would have increased student transportation fees $20 for purchase of 30 buses equipped with wheelchairs by KU on Wheels by this fall. The referendum also would have made it possible for KU on Wheels to purchase three
The second referendum would have increased student transportation fees $15 and an approved fare-free bus system for the University. The new system would have given students the opportunity to ride University buses just by showing their KUID. The new system would have made bus passes null and void beginning next semester.
Each referendum looked to be on track for passage had more students voted.
new buses each year for the next 10 years.
According to the Web site, 68 percent of those voting for referendum one voted yes. Seventy percent approved referendum two.
Earlier this week Jessica Mortinger, Transportation Committee Chair, said the referendums could be re-worded and added to the April election ballot if they failed at the special election.

Bush asks NATO to increase aid
>>WAR IN IRAQ
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Bush said Thursday that NATO allies need to supply more soldiers to Afghanistan and be willing to send them into the most violent battles with Taliban fighters, who are gearing up for a new spring offensive.
"When our commanders on the ground say to our respective countries we need additional help, our NATO countries must provide it." Bush said.
Flash with money from heroin-producing poppy crops, Taliban fighters have proven much tougher than NATO expected when it deployed its first contingent
About 15,000 of the American troops in Afghanistan are serving in the NATO-led force, which now totals about 36,000. The other 12,000 are special operations forces or are training Afghan troops.
of peacekeepers there in 2003.
"I have made my concerns to President Karzal pretty clear not pretty clear,very clear."
"I've ordered an increase in U.S. forces in Afghanistan," Bush said in a speech that comes five years after U.S.-led forces topped Afghanistan's repressive Taliban regime. "We've extended the stay of 3,200 troops now in the country, for four months, and we'll deploy a replacement force that will sustain this increase for the foreseeable future."
"I have made my concerns to President Karzai pretty clear — not pretty clear, very clear
The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that 3,200 soldiers scheduled to go to Iraq would be sent to Afghanistan instead, replacing the troops extended for four months. Deployment of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, based in Vicenza, Italy, would keep the force at the current strength of 27,000 — the highest of the war.
GEORGE BUSH President
—and that in order for him to gain the confidence of his people, and the confidence of the world, he's got to do something about it, with our help." Bush
"What we want to do this spring is have this spring offensive be our offensive and, and have the initiative in our hands rather than reacting to them," he said.
said in an hour-long speech sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Robert Gates, just back from a trip that included a stop in Pakistan, said the planned offensive in Afghanistan was an attempt to react ahead of an expected seasonal Taliban offensive.
The call for NATO nations to supply more soldiers and equipment to fight the Taliban was a nudge to Germany and other NATO nations that have kept their troops out of the most violent parts of Afghanistan.
NATION Icy roads leave motorists stranded in traffic iam
HAMBURG, Pa. — National Guardsmen in Humvees ferried food, fuel and baby supplies Thursday to hundreds of motorists stranded on a 50-mile stretch of highway for nearly a day by a monster storm blamed for 15 deaths.
The traffic jam on the icy, hilly section of Interstate 78 in eastern Pennsylvania forced authorities to also shut down portions of I-81 and I-80 Thursday afternoon as they struggled to gain ground on the colossal traffic jam.
Drivers were frustrated they were let on the road at all. State police did not close all the entrance
ramps to 1-78 until around 5 p.m. more than 24 hours after vehicles starting getting caught.
"Why would they have that exit open if they were just going to let us sit there?" said a crying Deborah Miller. Her 5-year-old son was trapped in the car with her.
The sprawling storm system hit Wednesday and blew out to sea Thursday, leaving huge snow piles, frigid temperatures and tens of thousands without power across the Midwest and Northeast.
Numerous areas saw more than a foot of snow, with 42 inches falling in the southern Adirondacks in New York. Gusty wind had morning wind chills below zero, and in some areas, the snow was followed by several inches of ice.

Kansas says it wants an evolution
The national reputation of Kansas took a determined step forward on Tuesday when the State Board of Education, suddenly flush with sensible moderates, voted to restore the state science standards to their pre-intelligent design structure. The decision was lauded by moderate, criticized by ID proponents, and wearily welcomed by those charged with managing the state's good name.
In the frustrating and seemingly interminable amount of time since the standards were changed to cast doubt upon the theory of evolution, the Sunflower State has attracted the kind of attention tourism directors
dread. It is the rare official who relishes seeing his state's name used in close proximity to words like "laughingstock," "backward," and "ridicule."

But our humble state has been mounting a slow comeback. We have a popular and moderate governor whose name is frequently bandied about as a potential presidential ticket booster. One of our senators is a presidential candidate, though one already marginalized by the coastal media. Finally, our esteemed State Board of Education has elected to reverse the multivear trend of equat-

First came the dismissal of evolution from science textbooks, a move which invited criticism from scientists and mockery from the talking point-craving punitocracy. This was followed by a bestselling book in which author Thomas Frank used his native state as an example of policy gone wrong, a book whose very title implied that something was seriously wrong with Kansas.

》 COMMENTARY
School inequality starts with funding disparity
Public education, once heralded by Horace Mann as "the great equalizer of the conditions of man," has become so misguided that it is neither equalizing nor educating. Intended as a safety net for children born lacking the means for a sufficient education, the K-12 system has become another station on the road of socioeconomic pre-determinism.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, public schools in the U.S. are funded partially by local property taxes, meaning that areas with higher property values receive more money. The discrepancy in quality of education between inner-city and suburban schools is no coincidence.
Many factors affect a child's development, including the income of his or her parents. But the quality of education the child receives, regardless of other factors, still has an undeniable effect on his or her development. While schools cannot give children better parents, they
can and should give them better teachers, textbooks and buildings.
I am a student of English and Computer Science. I am also a member of the Student Union. I will be attending my first semester in this college. I will be in good condition to meet all requirements for admission. I will be on time to class and will be respectful to all students. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].
And that starts with funding. But lower property value means fewer tax dollars, regardless of tax rate.
BY LUCAS LUX
Higher property values in Overland Park means that the Blue Valley school district gets 56 percent of its funds from local property taxes. The U.S. Department of Education cites the national average as 37 percent. Kansas City, Kan., schools, despite a higher tax rate, are only able to pay 21 percent of their bills with local money. Kansas City schools are forced to rely on dwindling state and federal funds usually marked for specific purposes such as English as a Second Language programs.
This difference shows in each district's goals. In its colorful 2005 06 executive report, Blue Valley
BLOCAS LUCA
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
boasts of its "core concept of Personalized Student Learning" and promises an "education tailored just for you." The report focuses on among other
things, improving students' standardized test scores. The Kansas City schools are faced with more serious challenges; their report focused on "First Things First," including a program to boost literacy rates. The report said a look in its schools would "find challenges facing any urban district; insufficient funding, large numbers of at-risk students, declining enrollment and teacher shortages"
Gaps like these are ensured by the current way of funding public schools. The inequalities become perpetual, creating an American aristocracy. Parental income largely decides if a child will be given a
chance to succeed. This is more than inherently unjust. It is bad policy. The wasted potential of millions of youths – and the crime that some revert to – costs society more than a quality education would have in the first place. Not every uneducated child becomes a criminal, but few are able to save their children from the same experience.
Some argue that children of the affluent are entitled to the better educations they receive. The problem is not the great education of the rich children, but the deficient education of the poor. By creating public schools society recognizes that it has an obligation to its children. This obligation should not apply only to children in certain neighborhoods. Public schools are not the place for inequality. If educating every American child is indeed a priority, treat it like one. Fund every student equally.

COMMENTARY
Reality TV OK,but best if taken with dose of reality
Truth is stranger than fiction. Just flip channels on the television and you'll find multiple examples. Our culture has gravitated from fictional to reality-based television shows. Gone are the days of witty sitcoms that end with a sugar-sweet moral or an impossibly perfect solution to all the characters' problems. Now we are bombarded with "reality", or at least some network executive's conception of it. There's even a channel exclusively devoted to reality television.

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
Certainly, some notable fictional dramas inspire a cult following, such as "Lost" or "Grey's Anatomy," but they are largely overshadowed by the sheer volume of reality television. The shows run the gamut from forcing people to eat cow intestines for money to watching people fall in love — or lust.
The term "reality TV" is a misnomer because it very loosely defines the term "reality." If you define reality as "something that could only happen in my wildest dreams or worst nightmares," then go ahead, and call it that.
We watch television to escape our realities. Though "reality TV" is
about "real" people, it's actually no different than the sitcoms that were popular a few years ago. If it's not you and it's not going to happen in your life, then it's not your reality.
As an example, I'll use my own — very embarrassing — reality TV show addiction: VH1's "I Love New York." I watch the show religiously, mostly because the main character, New York, is so outrageous. She's the proverbial train wreck: horrible yet I can't rip my eyes away. The ridiculous men on her show make it obvious they were hand-picked to create the best drama possible.
This show isn't reality, at least not my reality. But that's why it's so entertaining. I certainly don't want to watch someone on television sit through a history class or do homework for hours. America doesn't
love reality television because it mirrors our own lives. It cathartic because we can sit at home thinking, "Man, I might have flunked my chemistry quiz today, but at least I'm not stranded on an island with only rice to eat."
Yes, reality television is often mindless and contrived. That doesn't mean you should be ashamed to admit that you relax while watching "Laguna Beach" or "Survivor" instead of listening to NPR or reading The New York Times.
Just realize that those lives aren't real. TV networks have to make it entertaining to get people to watch it. Keep watching whichever reality show you might be addicted to, but with a dose of real reality. Remind yourself the purpose of the show is to make money, not to provide a documentary of people' lives.

It's heartbreaking for me to think "New York" may not be as psycho as she seems, but I guess I'll just have to come to terms with that.

Passengers, crew overpower hijacker
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADRID, Spain — An armed man who hijacked a Mauritian plane to Spain's Canary Islands on Thursday was overpowered by passengers and crew before he was arrested by police who boarded the plane shortly after landing, government and airline officials said.
The man was overwhelmed by passengers and arrested when police stormed the Air Mauritania 737 shortly after the aircraft landed at Gando military base on Gran Canaria island. Spanish Interior Ministry official Carolina Darias said.
Air Mauritania director Mohamed Ould Aoufa said the crew was involved in overpowering the hijacker.
Twenty-one of the 71 passengers — mostly Spaniards and Mauritanians — were treated for slight injuries, a Las Palmas police spokesman said. The most seriously affected was a pregnant woman was treated for severe shock.
Police said the man had been carrying two loaded handguns. Police did not say when during the incident
passengers and the crew stepped in.
Mohamed Ould Mohamed Cheikh, Mauritania's top police official, said the hijacker was a Moroccan from Western Sahara who wanted to immigrate to France.
The Boeing 737, with eight crew, was hitacked after leaving Nonakchott at 4:30 p.m.
The man had tried many times to obtain a visa at the French embassy in the Mauritian capital, Nouakchott, where he had lived for a few months, Mohamed said. The hitacker's identity wasn't given.
Aouta said the hijacker demanded to go to France but after the crew refused because of a lack of fuel the plane turned toward the Spanish islands.
When it landed at Gando military airport shortly after 7 p.m., the plane was immediately surrounded by paramilitary Civil Guard police. The ordeal ended minutes later.
Moroccan authorities refused the hijacker's request to land in Moroccan territory, the North African kingdom's MAP news agency said. A spokesman for Morocco's Interior Ministry said he was not aware of the hijacking.

Koreas make relational progress

SEOUL, South Korea — The two Koreas will hold talks late this month aimed at improving relations, a South Korean official said Thursday, the first sign of easing tensions between the countries after the North signed a nuclear disarmament agreement.
North Korea's top envoy to sixnation talks nuclear talks also said Pyongyang is ready to implement the accord reached earlier this week. Japan's Kyodo News agency reported.
"The talks went well," the agency quoted North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan as saying after returning from Beijing. "We are ready to implement the results of the meeting."
The Cabinet-level talks between the two Koreas will be held in the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, from Feb. 27 to March 2, according to a statement adopted at a lower-level meeting Thursday in the North Korean border city of Kaesong.
South and North Korea have held 19 high-level meetings since 2000, but they have been suspended amid中斅 relations following North Korea's missile launches in July and its nuclear test in October.
The meetings have served as a forum for discussing Seoul's aid to the impoverished North, and could
lead to a resumption of the regular delivery of rice and fertilizer to the communist nation. South Korea suspended aid after the missile tests in July.
South Korean delegate Lee Kwan-se said the planned talks will help advance reconciliation and cooperation between the South and the North, and promote peace on the Korean peninsula"
"The North side, just as we did, wanted to restore South-North relations and resume dialogue to discuss pending issues." Lee said.
according to South Korean media reports.
The two Koreas remain technically at war since the 1950-53 Korean war ended in a cease-fire.
The disarmament pact reached Tuesday among the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States is worth about $250 million in aid to the North.
In Washington, the Bush administration sought to ease concern
It requires North Korea to seal its main nuclear reactor, allow international inspections and begin accounting for other nuclear programs within 60 days. In return, North Korea will receive 50,000 tons of heavy fuel oil, a down payment on a promised 1 million tons in oil or aid of a similar value if it ultimately disarms.
among conservatives that the deal goes too easy on North Korea.
White House press secretary Tony Snow said Thursday that one of President Bush's deputy national security advisers, Elliott Abrams, had questioned whether North Korea could be removed from a list of terror-sponsoring states under the agreement.
Snow said he had assured Abrams that would not happen unless the North changes its behavior "The North Koreans don't get it for free," Snow said. "They've got to earn it, like everything else."
John Bolton, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has also called the agreement "fundamentally flawed," saying it rewards the North for behaving badly.

Jayhawks wow crowds with their alley-oop plays
BY MARK DENT
It starts with a pass.
A smooth, quick flick of the wrist sends the ball in the general direction of the backboard.
The ball rotates slowly in the air, leaving watchful fans in a trance and rendering grounded defenders helpless. It seems to float as if there is no gravity until it finally connects, mid-air, with the hands of another player at the apex of his leap.
Junior forward Darnell Jackson scored 17 points against Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse this year while helping hold Darren Kent to 14 points. With his recently increased playing time and scoring contributions, Jackson joins the rest of the Jayhawks in taking on the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 6 p.m. Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
It ends with a bang.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Sound familiar? Well, it should.
That play is the alley-oop, and Kansas routinely throws a few of them every game.
"We may get one or two from a set," Kansas coach Bill self said.
"The way we play we try to give ourselves a chance to throw them if certain things are open."
Against Missouri last Saturday, those "certain things" were open a lot. Kansas completed six alley-oops. At one point in the second half, the Jayhawks scored on alley-oops three out of four times down the court.
Sophomore forward Julian Wright was on the receiving end of half of the six, including one where he slammed it home with one hand.
"A lot of people go for one hand," he said. "You can go for one hand if you're wide open."
Wright may have turned the alley-oop into an art form, but he didn't invent it.
The origins of the play can be traced back to the mid-1970s. According to www.NBA.com, North Carolina State was the first team to regularly execute the alley-oop.
The Wolfpack had one of the game's best leapers on their team: David "Skywalker" Thompson. In order to utilize Thompson's 48-inch vertical leap, they had to discover a way to get him an easy shot without dunking the ball (dunking was illegal back then). Thus, the alley oop was born. NC State guards lobbed the ball high in the air to Thompson, who soared over his overmatched opponents and dropped the ball in the hoop, mid-air. Most alley-oops end with dunks rather than layups.
The Jayhawks and Thompson and the Wolfpack are successful at alleyoops for the same reason. When it comes to high flying, it's all about the athleticism, baby.
"We have a lot of athletic guys," freshman Sherron Collins said.
"We just have athleticism," Wright

to play basketball for a Top 25 team.
Since arriving at Kansas, Jackson has been plagued by tragedies that would be tough for anyone to handle, let alone a college student trying
"Ever since I got here," he said, "from my uncle getting killed, my grandpa and grandma dying, my mom getting in a wreck, and my cousin being shot and killed in a drive-by, it was just a whole bunch of stuff, and it was eating me up on the inside because I was holding it all in."
Coach Bill Self noticed, and during winter break, he told jackson he
knew something was wrong. The two talked for a while, with jackson ending up in tears as he began to open himself up.
"It helped me a lot, because I don't have male role models in my life." Jackson said. "I grew up without a dad, and sometimes it's hard for me when I see Mario out there with his pops shooting around. Sometimes I wish I had that, but things happen for a reason."
Learning on the coaching staff has helped jackson out, which in turn has helped him improve the mental side of his game.
After struggling earlier this season, he has turned up his play in recent weeks, including five straight games in which he has played 17 minutes or more. His biggest contributions are

'Huskers can't let Starter jackets go
THE SINGLE MAN
BY DREW DAVISON
KANSAN COLUMNIST
DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM
We all used to own one, or maybe even two. That's right, back in elementary school, everyone would wear one to school — you know, the Starter jacket. Children would wear these jackets with big logos and bright team colors. I admit it, I owned two — but that was from 1990-1995. Well, consider this a fair warning because you will see Nebraska fans trying to bring back the Starter jacket trend Saturday.
That's right. Starter jackets are coming back to Lincoln. Now, I've been to Lincoln, Neb., and it's a great city with good sports fans. But it is also the only city that keeps Starter in business. I don't know why Nebraskans are in love with oversized jackets that aren't very comfortable, but for whatever reason, they haven't stopped buying the Starter jackets. My only explanation is that the Starter headquarters are in Lincoln.
Earlier this season, I went to the Nebraska game in Lincoln, and because it wasn't much of a game, especially in the second half, I really got to soak in the spectacle of Starter-coat madness — and it was remarkable. It was like elementary school, version 5.0.
But, that wasn't the only spectacle to take in. The Javawk basketball team was on fire, holding Nebraska scoreless for nearly 14 minutes in the first half. On top of that, Nebraska all-conference center Aleks Maric scored no points in that half. Yes, Kansas dominated the game, cruising to a 20-point victory. It surprised the Starter-coat fans and me because it was the first nationally televised game in a long time at Nebraska.

Jayhawks ready for in-state rivalry
Senior guard Sharita Smith has faced Kansas State eight times in her four-year career at Kansas.
BY CASE KEEFER
The result has always been the same. Smith has yet to be on a team that beat the rival Wildcats.
"This game is more for Sharita than anyone else," senior guard Shaquina Mosley said, "because she's been here for a long time."
Mosley has also endured four of the losses since transferring from Central Arizona Community College last year. At this point it seems highly unlikely that the two teams will meet in the Big 12 Tournament. Therefore, Sunday could be the last
Overall, Kansas has lost 12 straight to the in-state rival, dating back to 2001. The games haven't been close either, the lahayhs have fallen by an average of 21 points.

The Jayhawks have built upon their strong performance in the loss. Smith has continued to be a shut-
"Sharita played with a lot of toughness." Henrickson said. "If we had a handful of kids that come with that we would be fine!"
Smith will have another tough assignment Sunday with Claire Coggins. The Wildcat guard is the focal point of their offense and is averaging 14 points a game.
Considering Smith's stellar play, however, Coggins isn't the primary cause for concern. The layhawks will need more players to step up
defensively to guard the Wildcat's other top scorers, Kimberly Dietz and Ashley Sweat. Freshman forward Sadie Morris thinks Kansas is up to the challenge after learning from a sloppy performance against Missouri on Wednesday.
"It was an ugly game and if we have to play another ugly game against Kansas State, we'll do it that way," she said. "But finish strong and come out with the win."
Last time the two faced, freshman guard Kelly Kohn had one of her better conference games with 13 points off of 50 percent shooting. Kohn was 0 for 8 from the field

200-yard relay team
breaks Kansas record
The University of Kansas swimming and diving team had a record-breaking first day at the Big 12 Championships on Wednesday en route to a third-place standing.
The 202 yard medley relay team consisting of senior co-captain Jenny Short, sophomore Danielle Hermmann, junior Lauren Bonfe and sophomore Maria Mayrovich, swam to a third-place finish and in the process shattered a Kansas record. The team's time of 1:41.01 bested the previous record of 1:42.02.
The Jayhawks also finished fifth in the 800-yard freestyle relay with a time of 7:25.07.
After the first day of events, the Jayhawks are in third place with 60 points, two behind Missouri and four ahead of Nebraska. Texas and Texas A&M are tied for first place at 74 points.

Retire 'Muck Fizzou' until next year
GAME APPAREL
Kansas plays Nebraska in basketball Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse, KU's mascot is the Jayhawk and the Missouri Tigers only visit Lawrence once each basketball season.
I know, I'm Captain Obvious,
but some people attending the game need a friendly reminder. At every game you see these people in the fieldhouse who are convinced that the layhawks are playing the Tigers as they're decked out in their "Muck Fizzon" T-shirts. They look as out of place as Rex Grossman in the Super Bowl. Obviously, they're either confused or their heads were bounced like basketballas infants. This is the only logical explanation for this fashion faux pas.
Finally, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee has decided to try to discourage students from wearing the "Muck Fuzzon" T.
shirts. The motives of this student group are somewhat off-base. The television networks have asked that students stop wearing these shirts because if they do, they're not getting on TV — not because they look like idiots, but because of the implied message.

KANSAN COLUMNIST
CJMOORE@KANSAN.COM
If someone wants to wear the "Muck Fizzzor" during a game against Mizzou, that's cool with me. It's fine to hate Missouri. I'd even encourage it. I'm from Kansas. I was raised to hate the Tigers — even though Momma said never
But once the Tigers head back down I-70 and the jayhawks move on with their schedule, fans should, too. Against any other team, KU fans should be supporting the Jayhawks rather than insulting Missouri.
to hate.
I've heard the arguments from the people who wear the "Muck Fizzou" shirt every game. They'll say "I don't have any KU T-shirts." "I just really hate Mizzou" or "I like looking stupid." (OK, I made the one un).
Missouri is supposed to be the school obsessed with hating and beating us. If the Tigers lost all of their games but beat the layhawks, their fan base would be please. However, if the Tigers won against the layhawks, Bill Self would have to go into hiding.
If you don't own a KU T-shirt, empty out your change jar, go buy one and make sure it's blue. HyVe sells lajayhk T-shirts for $9.99. If you don't have a lajayhk T-shirt, you can't call yourself much of a fan, because free shirts are given out several times each season.
They're the same people who chant "airball" at a guilty opponent for an entire game, yell at Sasha Kaun to shoot a three-pointer when he's open at the top of the key and sneak flasks into the game so they can look and sound like idiots.
If fans (1 use that term loosely) want to look like idiots, they can do it on their own time. Just leave the rest of us alone, because the "Muck Fizzzer" shirts worn at the wrong time reflect poorly on all KU fans.
So if your friends wear this shirt every game, start by hitting them on the head. Then take their shirt, burn it, and then ask them if they're ready to change their ways. Sorry, this calls for violence. They probably don't understand words.
These "Muck Fizzou" shirts
need to be put away in the back of everyone's closet, nestled away until the Tigers return next season. The people who wear these shirts (and the "Friends don't let friends go to MU" shirts) every game need to be stopped.

Kansas will play will play its first home game at 3 p.m. Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark, this season. John Allman, pictured, has batted .375 with five BRI
The snow lining the sidewalks and covering the field at Hoglund Ballpark today will no longer be welcome Sunday. After one cancellation and a pair of postponements, Kansas (7-1) is finally set to open at home.
Although the Jayhawks are playing at Hoglund almost a week and a half later than scheduled, Coach Ritch Price made sure his team didn't miss a beat. Kansas has played all eight games it was scheduled to play despite the awful local weather conditions. With that early game time under their belts, the Jayhawks have an eight-game advantage on their opponent, the Bison of North Dakota State University (0-0), who will kick off their season at Hoglund on Sunday.
"Um, they're from North Dakota," junior outfielder John Allman said. "We're just worrying about ourselves right now."
While Allman worries about his team, it has little cause to worry about him. The outfielder has started all of Kansas' eight games, hitting a strong .375 with five RBI. Allman trails only senior outfielder Kyle Murphy.
Traveling to Lawrence from Fargo will likely prove its worth to the Bison, who are in their final season as a Division-1 independent before accepting the invitation to join the Mid-Continent Conference next season. The Bison finished at just 12-41 last season and went 0-16 against the Big 12 Conference in the last two seasons. But the Jayhawks aren't focusing on statistics.
Named to the College Baseball Foundation National Honor Roll on Wednesday, Murphy has started 2007 on a tear. He leads the jayhawk offense with a .381 batting average and the starters with a .714 slugging percentage.
The junior college transfer had just nine extra base hits in all of last season and has collected four already in 2007, including a pair of doubles and a home run.
"I've done a lot of things with my mental approach to the game of baseball and being able to have the confidence in myself to go out there and play," Murphy said. "I'm not too concerned with bad at bats and outcomes that don't go my way."
Murphy stood out against South Dakota State last weekend. He also may have been a little more prepared than some of his teammates. While in junior college, Murphy played at the Metrodome, only his game then started at 5:30 a.m. as opposed to the 3:30 a.m. start time from last weekend.
Whatever the reason, it worked. Murphy hit 500 in the series and scored four times in the series victory. He did mention it was a little harder to focus and it wasn't quite as comfortable as playing during normal hours, but his team overcame
those feelings for the win.
Though Murphy and Allman had plenty to do with putting runs on the board, they didn't have quite as much to do with keeping runs off of it. After surrendering a 6-5 loss in the first game to South Dakota, the Kansas pitching staff allowed just three runs in the next two games.
In the series finale against South Dakota State, sophomore lefty Andy Marks (2-0, 0.73) kept a shutout into the seventh before a solo home run accounted for the only run of the game. Marks, who will start game three, has walked just two and struck out 14 in 12.1 mmings of work.
Fellow letters Zach Ashwood (1-0,
2.53) and Nick Czzy (1-0, 1.93)
are scheduled to take games one and
two, respectively.
On the other side of the ball, the Bison are returning six of their top eight hitters. Junior shortstop Matt Mossey leads the way, returning to his team with a .320 batting average and 31 runs scored in 2006.
Junior left-hander Jake Labor is
MUSEUM
TOPEKA — The Kansas Sports Hall of Fame has an acute aliment that could be cured with an infusion of Kansas Lottery cash, two of the state's most prominent sports figures told legislators.
Sports Hall suffers from lack of funds
Last month, the hall's board of directors voted to shut down if it didn't receive more money from the state.
"If you don't do something, the Hall of Fame will close its doors, and I don't know if it will ever open again," Max Falkenstien, who retired after 60 years broadcasting University of Kansas games, said Wednesday at a Senate committee hearing.
would designate a Kansas Lottery scratch ticket from which revenues would go to fund the hall.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Falkentien and retired Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder tried to impress on the lawmakers what the hall meant to Kansas.
The hall has felt a financial crunch for years as it moved from Lawrence to Ablene to Wichita.
The hall is in its second year of a two-year deal with the city of Wichita for free rent. Officials of the hall are asking for $500,000 per year.
Kansas's 7-1 start is its best under Price, but the modest Jayhawks would likely look at their recent success much like Murphy has looked at his own.
A bill heard in the committee
Since then, executive director Ted Hayes said, the hall has received less than $400,000 from the state.
It was established by statute in 1969.
"With the extra money we could conduct outreach programs to get
"It is a good teeling." Murphy said,
"But it's a long season. You can't get yourself too hyped up about it. I try to stay away from the peaks and valleys through the season and just try and stay pretty consistent throughout the entire thing."
kids involved," Hayes said.
There is some confusion over how the bill would work.
Kansan sportswriter Alissa Bauer can be contacted at abauer@kansan.com.
Committee members said an existing scratch ticket would be designated, but Ed Van Petten, executive director of the Kansas lottery, said he thought a whole new ticket would be created.
Falkenstien spoke Wednesday about the role Kansas sports heroes played in breaking racial barriers. He told Wilt Chamberlain being the first black person to sit on the floor at a two-tiered theater and how Chamberlain was the first to be served at a certain restaurant.
It would be a shame to lose that history. Falkenstein said.

Final rankings decide postseason
Basketball wraps up schedule play
BY SCOTT TOLAND
As the final intramural basketball pool-play games wrap up this week at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center, several teams have established themselves as
serious contenders to win their respective tournaments.
Some teams have already finished playing their three pool play games and are now waiting to learn who they will play
"I think were one of the best teams out there and I think we have a chance to do really well." Petersen says. "We move the ball really well and we also shoot really well."
Grahm Petersen. Rose Hill freshman, plays for Not Greek and says he met his teammates through a friend. He thinks that his team's chances look good heading into the postseason tournament.

KU Recreation Services ranks the Top 10 teams in the men's, women's and co-recreational division each week on its Web site www.recreation.ku.edu. In the men's division, the Not Greek team currently holds the No.1 ranking, while Law is second and the Saints are third. The Untouchables are ranked fourth and have completed all three of their games in their pool, amassing a total of 200 points, which is the highest of the Top 10 men's teams.

Two other intramural sports, table tennis doubles and racquetball, have also been in action during the past week. Sixteen doubles teams are registered to play table tennis and 24 teams are entered to play racquetball doubles. The matches for both sports are played with a play-by-date format, in which the two teams are responsible for contacting each other to set up a convenient time for all of the players involved.
Registration for intramural nine-ball singles and bowling doubles begins Monday and can be done at www.recreation.ku.edu.

ALLEY-OOP (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
said.
Wright, sophomore guard Brandon Rush, freshman forward Darrrell Arthur and junior forward Darnell Jackson can run quickly enough in transition to beat their opponents to the basket for alley-oop opportunities. Plus, nearly everyone on the team has the athleticism to rise high enough to grab the ball when it's next to the hoop. Even Collins, who is 5 feet 11 inches, can dark. He throw an alley-oop to himself off the backboard in last year's McDonald's All-American game.
The lajhawks have as many players capable of throwing the lob pass as those who can finish it. It's not out of the ordinary to see junior center Sasha Kaun pinpoint a pass to another big man.
That said, throwing an alleyoop is not easy. It requires a perfectly timed and placed pass. In a hallcourt set, the passer has to be able to see the play developing amidst action from the other nine players on the court. In transition, the passer has to be able to dribble past defenders speedily and heave the ball in mid run. The best thing to do in either situation is place the ball near the rim.
"I don't worry about throwing it hard or sof." Collins said. "I just throw it anywhere and they get it!"
The receiver's job is a little bit tougher than the passer's. In the half-court set, they have to create separation from their defender,
usually by going back door or with
the help of a screen. In transition,
they have to beat the entire
defense down the floor.
Then comes the really tricky part. Basketball players have a harder task than wide receivers when it comes to snaring jobs. They often collide with other bodies in mid-air while trying to finish the alley-oop. Wright did this to perfection against Missouri. He finished two alley-oops while being fouled.
A well-executed alley-op car double a team's momentum. It democalizes the opponent and enlilvents the crowd.
Weight especially likes to do the special plays for the fans, but he knows the real purpose of any alley oop.
"You have to finish the ball!" he said. "That's the main thing. Don't worry if the crowd will go ooh-aah! If you have a chance to make the basket, make the basket."
"It's pretty hard," he said. "You must have to be focused once you catch the ball. You don't always have to dunk it. Sometimes you just have to catch and hold onto the ball."

DAVISON (CONTINUED FROM TB)
Maybe Nebraska was pressing or in awe of Kansas? Who knows, but I do expect Saturday's game to be a little bit more of a contest.
Nebraska is thinking postseason now after its 11 point win against Kansas State on Wednesday. While it sounds like a stretch, it's really not. The Cornhuskers are in a similar situation that Texas A&M was in last year. Nebraska is 4-6 in 12 play (A&M was 3-6 after nine games last season). And, outside of Kansas, the remainder of Nebraskas schedule has all winable games. If they get on a run to end the season and put up a respectable performance in the Big 12 tournament, Nebraska could sneak into the Big Dance.
I doubt it will happen, but I
know Nebraska will come out playing with a purpose Saturday, especially after Kansas embarrassed it at home. Plus, Marie had the game of his life Wednesday with 41 points against the Wildcats. Maybe he wasn't joking when he declared himself for the NBA draft last year.
So, while Nebraska fans usually only travel to football games, I expect a few will make the three-and-a-half hour drive down to Lawrence in their beloved Starter jackets. It's too bad they'll have to make the same three and a half hour drive back after seeing their team lose.
Davison is an Overland Park senior in journalism.
KANSAS VS. KANSAS STATE 1 P.M. SUNDAY, ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
》 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW
OFFENSE
Everything Kansas State does offensively goes through senior guard Clare Coggins. Coggins is not a great shooter, but she fits the Wildcat offense well enough to score 14 points per game. Guards Kimberly Dietz and Shalee Lehning gave Kansas problems in the teams' first meeting, combining to score 31 points and gather 11 rebounds. Dietz, a junior, and Lehning, a sophomore, make up for the lack of offensive firepower the Wildcats possess in the post. Kansas' offense has been wildly inconsistent this season. From game-to-game and half-to-half, the Jayhawks fluctuate between being incredibly efficient and remarkably poor on the offensive end. Kelly Kohn played excellent basketball during Kansas' winning streak, but shot 0-8 from the field in the loss to Missouri. Neither offense is stellar, but the Kansas offense is just too inconsistent to rely on.
Advantage:
DEFENSE
C
Kansas State lost its best defender when Marlies Gipson went down with a knee injury, but her replacements have performed admirably in her place. Freshman forward Ashley Sweat uses her lanky 6-foot-2 frame to block shots and create havoc in the paint. Kansas has finally found defensive success in the post as well. Freshman forward Porscha Weddington and junior forward Taylor Mcintosh have been formidable in recent games. Mcintosh has exercised more discipline and managed to stay out of foul trouble, while Weddington stops taller opponents with her athleticism and her arm. Both teams play strong perimeter defense. Kansas senior guards Sharita Smith and Shaquina Mosley use their quickness to create frequent turnovers. Kansas State relies on upperclassmen guards Kimberly Dietz and Clare Coggins to disrupt passing lanes and apply pressure on outside shooters.
MOMENTUM
Despite a disappointing mid-week loss to Missouri, Kansas still deserves credit for its recent two-game winning streak. Shaquina Moseley is coming off a career-high 22 point scoring outburst, and the Jayhawks played a decent first half. In order to defeat Kansas State, the Jayhawks need Kelly Kohn to make shots in the same manner she did against Colorado and Texas. Kansas State was defeated by Colorado on Wednesday night at Bramlage Coliseum. The bad news for Kansas State: Colorado rarely wins on the road. After such a disheartening defeat, the Wildcats will have their hands full with a Jayhawk team fueled by the Allen Fieldhouse atmosphere.
Advantage.

YOUTH WRESTLING Father intervenes match by throwing winner
AURORA, III. — A father bounded into a youth wrestling match, picked up his son's winning opponent and launched him off the mat, an episode caught on a home video.
After tossing the 11-year-old boy into the air Sunday, the angry father headed toward the cameraman, the father of the airborne boy.
"I was just wrestling, then the guy throws me," the boy, Nick Nasenbeny of suburban Aurora, told WMAQ-TV in Chicago. It was not known if the boy was injured.

All-Star game bans anti-gay Hardaway
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The NBA banished Tim Hardaway from All-Star weekend in Las Vegas because of his anti-gay remarks.
Hardaway, who played in five AllStar games during the 1990s, was already in Las Vegas and scheduled to make a series of public appearances this week on behalf of the league. But after saying, "I hate gay people" during a radio interview, commissioner David Stern stepped in.
"It is inappropriate for him to be
representing us given the disparity between his views and ours," Stern said in a statement Thursday.
Hardayaw apologized for his comments, which came a week after John Amaechi became the first former NBA player to say he was gay.
"As an African-American, I know all too well the negative thoughts and feelings hatred and bigotry cause." Hardaway said Thursday in a statement issued by his agent. "I regret and apologize for the statements that I made that have certainly caused the same kinds of feelings and reactions.
"I especially apologize to my fans, friends and family in Miami and Chicago. I am committed to examining my feelings and will recognize, appreciate and respect the differences among people in our society," he said. "I regret any embarrassment I have caused the league on the eve of one of their greatest annual events."
Hardaway represented the NBA in Las Vegas this week at a Habitat for Humanity event and a fitness promotion. The former U.S. Olympian was originally scheduled to be an assistant coach at a wheelchair game
Thursday night and later appear at the far-oriented Jsmession.
On a Miami radio show Wednesday, Hardaway was asked how he would interact with a gay teammate.
"First of all, I wouldn't want him on my team," the former Miami Heat star said. "And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don't think that is right. I don't think he should be in the locker room while we are in the locker room."

in Wednesday's loss, however. and getting her going against the Wildcats will be one of the keys to victory for the Jayhawks.
"She's got to develop some consistency in her offensive game," Henrickson said. "How she shoots it and how she takes it off the dribble are different every time."
Kansas hopes that taking advantage of a slumping Kansas State team, which has lost four of its last five, and a home court advantage, will lead it to victory. Sunday will be "Student Organization Day" and the Kansas-affiliated program with the most students will win five prizes.

in rebounding, where he tallied a team high 11 points on Wednesday night against Colorado.
He also helps out on the defensive end, which came in handy against Colorado when junior center Sasha Kaun entered foul trouble early in the game. Like Kaun, Jackson prides himself on having a towering presence inside and blocking shots taken at close range. That's something the team was missing in January, and Self pointed it out to his big men.
"I really didn't like it when coach Self said we played soft," Jackson said. "So I just tried to bring that physical ability."
Jackson's knack for dominating opponents is even more impressive in light of his back injury. He has played the entire season with a nagging soreness, which limits the amount of time he can be on
the court.
"In the beginning, I was worrying about my back a lot, so I was out there playing timid," he said. "Now I'm taking care of myself, so I don't worry about it. I just keep telling myself, 'You're fine; you aren't hurting.'"
He continues to fight through both the physical and emotional pain as he becomes a regular contributor to the team. Self said that Jackson has played with more energy than hes had in a long time. Jackson can see his play improving as he continues to focus on basketball.
"It's like everything that has happened to me will make me a stronger person," he said. "I feel like I'm getting stronger as I go."

"Hello everybody, it's so good to see you," the 25-year-old hotel heiress/reality TV star cooed as the crowd went crazy "Happy late Valentine's Day!"
VIENNA, Austria — Hundreds of shrieking, frenzied fans welcomed Paris Hilton as she made an appearance at a Vienna mall Thursday to sign autographs.
Heine heiras Paris Hilton, right, and her host, Austrian businessman Richard Lugner, left, arrive for the traditional Opera Ball on Thursday at Vienna's State Opera.
The session was cut short when several objects landed on the stage and Hilton was whisked away by security guards.
Richard Lugner, who is Hilton's Vienna host, said the flying objects included cigarette packs, tissues and lipsticks.
The Austria Press Agency reported that sheets of paper that floated onto the stage were fliers from a communist youth organization.
Hilton ran into a problem in Munich, Germany, on Wednesday because his passport had expired. Susan McCaw, U.S. ambassador to Austria, had to vouch for her so she could enter the country, APA reported.
Hilton said there were "a lot of people who need help" in the world and that she planned to go to Africa sometime this year.
"As a celebrity, you can really make people aware of what's going on in the world," she said.

GAME DAY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 16 2007
KU TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
The Big 12 does not have a tiebreaker for the league championship; instead it awards the "co-champions" title if two teams are tied. That works in the Jayhawks favor, because even though they lost to Texas A,M, the two teams are tied for the conference lead right now, it's not their ultimate goal, but a conference title is a goal for this year's team.
STAR WATCH
Junior forward Darnell Jackson will look to continue
JACKSON
to build on his momentum after a breakout month. The only negative for Jackson right now was going
0-for-5 from the free-throw line Wednesday. He's one of the team's better free throw shooters at 71 percent, so this shouldn't be a major concern for Jaiyawk fans.
QUESTION MARK
CAN THE JAYHAWKS GET A BIG 12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK?
One of the downsides of a balanced team is the lack of individual recognition, and even Julian Wright's 33 points against Missouri weren't enough to get him the honor. It's unlikely to happen this week, as no one player stood in Wednesday's victory against Colorado.
3 REASONS KU WINS
ONE — History
They stomped Nebraska last time. The Huskers have improved since then, but so have the Jayhawks, and there's no reason to think that Saturday will be any different than the game in Lincoln. Of course, don't expect Nebraska to go 14 minutes without a point.
TWO — Jackson
The emergence of Darnell Jackson. The junior forward is a capable replacement for junior center Sasha Kaun, and substituting between the two will keep the team fresh.
THREE — Talent
The Jayhawks have far superior talent. As long as Kansas controls Aleks Maric, this one won't be close.
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
TRYING TO KEEP PACE Jayhawks need victory to stay atop Big 12 Conference KANSAS VS.NEBRASKA 3 p.m. Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse, Channels 8, 15
Kansas 22-4,9-2 Big 12
OFFENSE
Instead of the Brandon Rush and Julian Wright show, the Jayhawks had a more balanced attack on Wednesday. Junior guard Russell Robinson played a big role in the success, but against Nebraska, the Jayhawks will again want to involve their star players. Wright, a sophomore forward, and Rush, a sophomore guard, will be called on to take over the team in March, and there's no better time to practice now.
KU KU KU
Inside the paint, junior center Sasha Kaun will look to build on a terrific second-half performance against Colo rado. After logging two fouls before the first timeout to open the game, Kaun was benched to start the second half. He responded with one of his most dominating defensive performances of the year, which included four blocks. The Jayhawks will need that against Nebraska center Alexis Maric, who will be the only big man for most of the game. The Huskers run out of a four-guard set to try to make up for their lack of height, which will put additional pressure on Wright and freshman forward Darrell Arthur to guard the perimeter.
Nebraska 15-9,4-6
DEFENSE
OFFENSE
NNN
This is not the same Nebraska that went more than 14 minutes without scoring against Kansas two weeks ago. The Cornhuskers have finally hit their stride. Forward Aleks Maric broke out of an early conference slump in a big way last Tuesday by scoring 41 points against Kansas State. Guards Charles Richardson Jr. and Ryan Anderson are also starting to score consistently from the outside. Even with an improved offense, the Huskers are going to have a tough time going against the Jayhawk guards. Darrell Arthur, Sasha Kaun and Darnell Jackson combined to shut down Maric the first time, and as a result, the impressive outside shooting of Anderson didn't matter.
I
DEFENSE
KU KU KU KU
The Huskers have done a good job of shutting down some of the Big 12's best scores this season. They held Texas Tech's Jarius Jackson to five points . Texas A&M's Acie Law IV scored only nine points against Nebraska. Colorado's Richard Roby scored just one point. Head coach Doc Sadler, who was an assistant under Texas A&M's Billy Gillisip, coaches like his former boss with an emphasis on intensity. But intense probably won't be good enough against the Jayhawks. Kansas coach Bill Self said his team played arguably its best half of the season in the first half of the game earlier this year in Lincoln.

MOMENTUM
After the bloodbath in Lincoln, the Jayhawks have every reason to be optimistic. During his Monday press conference, coach Bill Self said that playing two of the conference's worst teams in a week posed its own set of challenges, but the Jayhawks appear to have maintained their focus and energy. It doesn't hurt that they're now tied for the lead in the Big 12 conference with Texas A&M, so every game down the stretch becomes crucial to the team's title hopes.
- Michael Phillips
Russell Robinson
Early in Big 12 play, Nebraska looked dead. The Huskers played pitifully
on both sides of the ball, starting off the conference play with a 1-5 record. They bottomed out in the first half against the Jayhawks on Jan.29. In the second half of that game, Nebraska outplayed Kansas, although it still lost, and has turned its season around since The Huskers have won three out of their last four games with the only loss coming to first-place Texas A&M. If this game was going to be played at the Devaney Center in Lincoln, the Huskers would have a serious chance for an upset. Because the game is at Allen Fieldhouse, look for Kansas to win with relative ease.

TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
The Huskers have a legitimate chance for an NIT berth if they finish with an 8-8 or 7-9 conference record. If it beats Kansas, Nebraska has five winable games left. A victory against Kansas and three victories in their next five games would guarantee a spot in the NIT.
STAR WATCH
Junior forward Aleks Maric had one of
his worst performances of the season in the first game against Kansas. He only made three field
MARCUS MILLER
Maric
goals. Last Tuesday against Kansas State, Maric looked like one of the best players in the country. He scored 41 points and made it to the free-throw line a Dwyane Wade-like 25 times.
QUESTION MARK
IS NEBRASKA MENTALLY READY FOR KANSAS?
You know the Huskers are still stinging after their embarrassing display against the Jayhawks two weeks ago. They have moved on by winning three out of their last four games, but they could start doubting their abilities going against Kansas again.
3 REASONS NU WINS
ONE — Revenge
The Huskers lost every form of dignity imaginable the first time they played the Jayhawks. Going scoreless for five, even 10 minutes is understandable. But 13 minutes and 39 seconds? Nebraska should still be fuming and ready to play Kansas.
TWO - Luck
Texas Tech found out the hard way that Nebraska is a fortunate team. Against the Red Raiders, Charles Richardson Jr. nailed a three-pointer at the buzzer to beat them Feb. 6.
THREE — Road Rules Half of Nebraska's Big 12 victories have come on the road. It even won at Texas Tech, a place where Kansas and Texas A&M lost.

M. KEIRANI
The main area of interest last time out between these two teams was supposed to be Basha Kaun vs. Aleks Maric. That match-up quickly fizzled. Instead, Rush helped the Jayhawks get out to their insurmountable first-half lead and finished the game with 20 points. Anderson, a freshman, had the best game of the season as he made six three-pointers. Rush and Mario Chalmers will probably guard Anderson most of the game Saturday and will have to make sure they pressure him on the perimeter.

After six seasons of Kansas State dominance, Kansas finally emerged with a victory in the Sunflower Showdown. The Jayhawks needed two overtimes, but eventually grabbed their third conference victory, 82-74.
"I could tell the kids had a lot of energy today," coach Bonnie Henrickson said."We came out with a little extra bounce."
Freshmen provided much of the offense for Kansas. Danielle McCray scored 25 points, and Kelly Kohn added 16 of her own.
Despite the contributions from the younger Jayhawks, the brightest star on Sunday was senior Shaquina Mosley. Mosley played all 50 minutes and came within one assist of a triple double.

Kansas contends for national lab
BY JOE HUNT
Kansas is competing with 11 other states to be chosen as the site of the $451-million National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, initiated by the Department of Homeland Security.
If Kansas was selected, the level four research lab would be built in either Leavenworth or Manhattan. Rep. Mario Goico (R-Wichita) said that the lab would focus on high security research of dangerous diseases, some of which could be transferred from animals to humans.
"This allows us to study some of those dangerous diseases to find cures," Goico said. "Some of those diseases could be used by terrorists, so it's a way to make the United States safer."
The only other level-four research lab in the country is in New York. That lab, which is more than 50 years old, would be replaced by the new lab.
research". Pine said. "There are a large number of pharmaceutical companies in Kansas and this would lie into what they are doing."
Sen. Roger Pine (R-Lawrence) said the possible lab project has received strong support throughout the state.
"Kansas is well known for its expertise in animal disease and
Pine said that in Manhattan, construction recently ended on a less-sophisticated level-two research lab. He said if Manhattan were chosen as the location, the government could use the level-two lab for research until construction was completed on the level-four lab.
Goico said that the new lab could have a huge economic benefit for Kansas.
"If you consider the salaries of everyone involved, it would be $3.5 billion." Goico said. "When you have an investment of that size, there is a multiplier effect in that area. That creates additional jobs."
Eighteen locations in 12 states will be competing for the new lab. The federal government will whittle down the list to five or six this summer, and the final decision should be made in about a year.

Pre-Pharmacy Club meets once a month on Tuesdays and a different presenter talks at each meeting. The pharmacy school dean, associate deans, students, retail pharmacists and other types of pharmacists have been presenters.
The club provides knowledge on the area of study and can be helpful to those unsure whether pharmacy is really for them. However, it is also a great experience for those who know exactly what they want to do because the club gives them the chance to see work in action.

Meat-on-a-skewer record falls in Mexico
MEXICO CITY — A group of businessmen in the northern Mexican City of Chihuahua broke a tasty record Friday, making a hunk of meat on a skewer big enough to serve 24,000 tacos.
The meat weighed 3.9 tons Mexican government news agency Notimex reported.
Officials from the Guinness Book of World Records recognized the hunk of meat as the world's largest skewer of kebab meat," Timotex reported.
Portions of the vast snack were sold with a drink for $1 a piece. Businessmen financed the taco and gave proceeds from sales to a home for abandoned children, Notimex said.

NATIONAL SECURITY
Homemade bombs become new threat
BY LARA JAKES JORDAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
QUANTICO, Va. — Kirk Yeager makes bombs from the stuff found under kitchen sinks. He does it to help the FBI defend against what officials say is the next frontier for terrorists in the United States.
Ten years ago, peroxide-based bombs were mostly the work of young pranksters. But the easy to make yet deadly chemical cocktails were embraced in the late 1990s by Palestinian militants and suicide
bombers bent on killing large groups of people.
Now, Yeager says, the "Mother of Satan" explosives are considered the most likely weapon that terrorists will use against the U.S., more so than a nuclear or radiological bomb.
"Every serious terrorist group knows about them and knows how to make them," Yeager said. The forensic scientist heads the explosives unit at the FBLs laboratory in Quantico, Va., about 35 miles south of Washington.
"Bad guys are bombers. You don't
have to have the level of sophistication to make a bomb that you need to get nuclear materials." Yeager said.
The bombs are made by mixing chemicals that are used in common household items, including hydrogen peroxide and paint thinner, and easily found at drug stores or hardware stores. Experts know them as TATP, short for triacetone triperoxide, and HMTD, or hexamethylene triperoxide diamine.
Counterterrorist authorities say terrorists planned to mix a solution similar to TATP in last summer's

Antioxidant in cocoa increase blood flow to brain
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO - A nice cup of the right kind of cocoa could hold the promise of promoting brain function as people age.
Medical researchers are seeing more cases of dementia and are looking for ways to make brains work better.
One potential source of help may be flavanols, an antioxidant found in cocoa beans that can increase blood flow to the brain, researchers said Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
lan MacDonald of England's University of Nottingham reported on tests given to young women who were asked to do a complex task while their brains were being studied with magnetic resonance imaging.
Among the women given drinks of cocoa high in flavanols, there was a significant increase in blood flow to the brain compared with subjects who did not drink the cocoa, he said.
This raises the prospect of using flavanols in the treatment of dementia, marked by decreased blood flow in the brain, and in maintaining overall cardiovascular health, he said.
The next step, MacDonald said, is to move from healthy subjects to people who have "compromised" blood flow to the brain.
Norman Hollenberg of Harvard Medical School said he found similar health benefits in the Cura Indian tribe in Panama. They drink cocoa exclusively.
But the cocoa typically sold in markets is low in flavanols, which usually are removed because they impart a bitter taste. Hollenberg said. He also said the findings did not mean people should indulge in chocolate.
"Chocolate is a delight. It can
never be a health food because we have a calorie problem," Hollenberg ...34
But, he added, in cocoa a lot of fat is removed from the chocolate.
Hollenberg, an expert in blood pressure, studied the Cuna because those who live on native islands do not have high blood pressure.
He said he found that when tribe members move to cities, their blood pressure rises. A major difference is the consumption of their own prepared cocoa, which is high in flavanols. In native areas, that is all they drink; in cities they adopt the local diet.
In addition to having low blood pressure, Hollenberg said, there were no reports of dementia among the native Cuna.
Henriette van Praag of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies discussed the effects of a specific flavanol, Epichatechin, in tests in mice.
She said when that chemical was added to their food, the mice showed improved ability to solve a maze and remembered it longer than mice without the flavanol. She said Epichatechin affected the hipocampus, the brain area important in memory.
In a study reported a year ago, older men in the Netherlands who ate the equivalent of one-third of a chocolate bar every day had lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of death.
The researchers said, however, it was too early to conclude that chocolate led to better health. The men who ate more cocoa products could have shared other qualities that made them healthier.
Hagen Schroeter of Mars Inc., the candy company that paid for some of the research reported Sunday, said that in addition to cocoa, flavanols occur in other foods such as fruits, tea and wine that have been associated with dilation of the arteries.

Actor says technology means for understanding
WASHINGTON — Michael Douglas says technology is helping children from across the world gain a better understanding of humanity's cultures and religions.
The 62-year-old actor is working with Global Nomads Group, which uses technology such as videoconferencing to link children across the world to foster greater understanding.
"I think it helps them to understand and feel more a part of the world," he said in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
Douglas said the group in 2003 conducted a program with Iraqi and American students.
"It gave American students the chance to be able to look eye-to-eye and begin to understand more clearly Iraqis as human beings," he said.
Douglas won an Oscar for his role in 1987's "Wall Street." He has also starred in "Fatal Attraction," "Traffic" and "Wonder Boys," among other films.
Trump's lawyers request jury trial for flag violation
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Lawyers for Donald Trump have requested a jury trial in the legal battle for a large American flag flying over his Palm Beach club, Mar-A-Lago.
An amended complaint was filed Friday in federal court, said a lawyer for Trump, James Green. It claims that fines assessed against the club since January by飞行的 15-by-25-foot flag atop an 80-foot flagpole — $1,250 a day — are excessive.
Town officials say the flagpole violates codes because it is taller than 42 feet.
Trump has not paid any of the fines, Green said Saturday.
"He thinks the town is singling him out and signaling Mar-A-Lago out for different treatment," Green said.
The town has 10 days to respond, Green said.
Trump's club hoisted the flag at the sprawling waterfront site in October.
In a separate filing Friday, lawyers asked the judge to send some issues back to the state courts. The lawyers allege in part that Palm Beach ordinances prohibiting the club's flag display go against Florida's constitution, and that the club should receive damages as a result.
The amount of damages Trump is seeking is not specified in his complaint. Lawyers for Trump said in previous filings that any damages awarded would go to "The Returning Veterans of the Iraq War."

PAGE 5A
》 OUR VIEW
You are what you wear to games
No one lowes freedom of speech more than journalists. Especially journalists that support the KU basketball team. A little competitive spirit only brings out the best in people. However, when deriding a rival, the scale can go from funny to inappropriate in one sudden movement. For some, that movement was putting on a "Muck Fizzou" shirt.
The University Daily Kansan recently reported that the Student Athlete Advisory Committee is meeting to resolve the "Muck Fizzou" t-shirt issue. As reported, ESPN's College GameDay made it a point to not film students wearing the shirts.
Student fans represent the University to anyone watching the game on television. Many students go to great lengths and absurdities to get on camera. Seeing yourself or a friend on ESPN for 0.4 seconds is not only thrilling but allows automatic bragging rights for the rest of the semester. Knowing that wearing a "Muck Fizzou" shirt automatically takes you out of
the running for your five minutes of fame should be enough of a disincentive.
Recognizing your role as a representative of the University should be another. We don't need to take the low road, like our neighbors to the East.
Grandmothers and little kids go to the games. Yes, games are meant for the students, but those grandmothers may be alumni. Let's keep it as clean as possible in the stands, because Missouri will bring the dirt to the court.
It's easy to make fun of Missouri's basketball team. We're a smart campus. There are some savvy shirts out there. Let's get a little smarter and more appropriate with our insults. Wear the "Muck Fizzou" shirts around campus, but make a costume change when entering Allen Fieldhouse. We should let the basketball do the talking and attract more attention than the fans' wardrobe.

The executives of Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore's new movie "Because I Said So" loved this phrase so much that they used it for the title.

Don't roll your eyes at your mother when she's giving you advice. Tell her you appreciate her suggestions on how to live your life and that you'll think about what she's said, but don't agree to anything she wants you to do. Instead, covertly change the subject to some thing else she enjoys talking about, like crazy Aunt Sue.
I digress. The movie is a great laugh for anyone who loves a good chick flick, but its cleverness is shown in Keaton's role as an overbearing mother to three grown women.

Dole Institute offers delights
Never again will you be surrounded with a community of talented people dedicated to your education like this. Take advantage of all the resources available on campus, especially the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. If you are not visiting the Dole Institute at least once or twice a semester you are not getting the full value of your Jayhawk education.

My favorite political science professor is always telling us to "use our resources" because we will never have opportunities outside of college like we do now. This is true at The University of Kansas. We have a wide variety of diverse opportunities at our fingertips. Many groups offer a unique experience that isn't merely a supplement to education.

OPINION@KANSAN.COM
One resource that is underused by students, staff and faculty at the University is the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics. The institute was founded by longtime Kansas senator, presidential candidate and Viagra spokesperson Bob Dole. My personal political ideologies differ greatly from those of the conservative senator but, no matter your personal political persuasion, it is impossible not to have respect for his efforts to support civic education.
The institute offers several benefits for the layhawk nation. First is the amazing quality of speakers and fellows attracted to the institute. Former President Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus, Leonard Pitts, Jr., Sen. Joe Biden, Phill Kline and many more have come to the Dole Institute to share their experiences and knowledge.
Secondly, the Dole Institute offers bi-weekly afternoon programs hosted by both Democratic and Republican fellows. This semester the fellows are former Missouri Governor Bob Holden and FEMA Florida Recovery Director Scott Morris. These "political power hours" offer students a chance to interact with and learn from some of the brightest minds in politics today. They're informal, informational and interesting. They're perfect for those of us who like to learn and network but these study groups have no tests, no homework and no stuffy professors.
Students can also directly get involved in the Dole Institute of Politics Student Advisory Board. It is open to all students on campus to give input to the staff and help with events.

Tiffany Williams-Jallow, Shands' publicist and 2005 KU graduate, said she appreciated Shands' courage in writing about his father's legacy.
"It is an honest look from a white man's perspective," Williams-Jallow said. "I admire him sharing his father's story with the public in places where he may or may not be very well received."
Williams-Jallow said hate crimes were still common in areas of Kansas City; her father was a victim of violent racist behavior in Lee Summit last year.
Shands and Williams-Jallow agreed that getting the message out was important to foster communication about racial issues in the U.S. They planned to tour the nation

New Jersey offers civil unions
GAY RIGHTS
Law takes effect today, makes N.J. third state to offer marriage rights to same-sex couples
BY GEOFF MULVIHILL ASSOCIATED PRESS
HADDONFIELD, N.J. — Diane Marini used to joke that she was always the bridesmaid and never the bride because, as a lesbian, she thought it was unlikely New Jersey would ever approve same-sex marriage.
Still, she and longtime partner Marilyn Maneely campaigned for gay marriage. They were among seven couples who sued the state in 2002 demanding the right to marry. While their suit didn't lead to a gay marriage law, it has led to New Jersey becoming the third state to offer civil unions to same-sex couples.
The civil unions law takes effect Monday and some same-sex couples are planning ceremonies. For couples who are not already in civil
unions from other states, however,
there is a 72-hour waiting period
after applying for a license — just
like with marriages. A few town
halls around the state planned to
open at 12:01 a.m. Monday so couples
could file their applications.
It will be a bittersweet day for Marini, because Maneely died of Lou Gehrig's disease in 2005, more than a year before the case was decided.
"I'm thrilled to have been part of the whole movement to show people who didn't know what marriage meant, why it was important," said Marini, who plans to attend one couple's ceremony next weekend and probably several more in the next few months.
The state Supreme Court ruled in October that New Jersey must extend all the rights of marriage to gay couples, but left it to lawmakers to decide whether to provide those rights in the form of marriages, civil unions or something else. Lawmakers opted for "civil unions", in part because of opposition from legislators who objected on religious grounds to calling it "marriage."
Marini, a construction contractor, and Maneely, a home-health nurse, were a couple for more than 14 years after meeting at a spiritual retreat in Ocean City, Marini, who had come out as a lesbian in the early 1970s, saw the retreat as a vacation.
Maneely, a mother of five who knew how to cook for a big group, was there mostly to run the kitchen.
It was only after meeting Marini that Maneely realized she was gay and sought a divorce from her husband.
Marini restored a home for the couple and Maneely's five children in Haddonfield, a well-heeled suburb near Philadelphia.
The couple golfed, went to the beach, shuttled the kids around and went to women's and gay rights marches in Washington.
Their activism increased five years ago when they joined with six other couples in the lawsuit.
Toward the end of Maneely's life, Marini says, they felt shortchanged because they didn't have the same rights as married couples.
Marini said, as advocates for gay marriage have often argued, that the benefits of marriage come into play often when one spouse is sick. "It's a time of emergency, a time of hysteria," she said. And a bad time to explain legal rights and status to hospital officials, well-meaning or not, she said.
》FOOD SAFETY
Meat plant inspections to decrease
Agriculture Department to spread resources, inspect plants with lower risks of disease
BY LIBBY QUAID ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The first major changes to food inspection in a decade will increase federal scrutiny of meat and poultry plants where the danger from E. coli and other germs is high or where past visits have found unsafe practices.
The new policy will result in fewer inspections at plants with lower risks and better records for handling meat and poultry.
"We're just putting resources where the risk is greatest, and those
plants that demonstrate excellent control will get less of our resources;" said Richard Raymond, the Agriculture Department's top food safety official.
To decide the level of scrutiny a plant should get, the "risk-based" system will consider the type of product and the plant's record of food safety violations.
A plant that makes hamburger and has repeated violations would get more inspection. A plant that makes cooked, canned ham and has a clean track record would get less scrutiny.
"There are certain food products that carry a higher inherent risk than others." Raymond, the undersecretary for food safety, said in
an interview with The Associated Press. "And there are certain plants that do a better job of controlling risk than others.
For now, the new system will be used in processing plants, not in slaughter plants. No timetable has been set for shifting to the new inspection system.
Critics say the idea sounds good, but they fear department officials are rushing a complex new system into place.
"One of the concerns is that this is simply an effort to save money in a tight budget year," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "We want to make sure a budget shortfall is not what's
driving these important inspection decisions"
Raymond says the agency's budget is not driving changes in the inspection program. "We're not going to save any money on this part of risk-based inspection," he said, adding there could be cost-savings if the changes are extended later to slaughtering operations.
The risk-based inspection system will be the most significant change to food safety inspections in a decade. The department overhauled inspections in 1996 when hundreds of people got sick and four children died after eating undercooked hamburgers from jack in the Box restaurants.

Jayhawks set to maintain streak in Manhattan tonight
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Before the postgame traffic had cleared, the players were already fielding questions about tonight's big game.
Saturday's 92-39 Kansas victory was certainly impressive, but the team didn't have much time to feel good about it.
The Jayhawks take on the Wildcats in Manhattan at 8 p.m. and there's no shortage of good story lines. For starters;
"That's when we break the streak," he said of tonight's game at the Wildcats' "Madness in Manhattan" rally back in October. The Jayhawks have never lost at Bramlage Coliseum, which opened in 1989
In case that's not enough, Kansas State coach Bob Huggins guarantees a victory.
- The Wildcats lost 97.70 in Lawrence just 12 days ago.
The Kansas players are familiar with the prediction.
"He can predict anything he
wants" sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "When the final bell rings, we'll see who wins."
With just one day to prepare for the game, neither coach has the luxury of preparing a full game plan. Instead, they'll stick to the plays and formations that they've been using all season.
"We'll find out how tough we are," coach Bill Self said. "The first game wasn't a true indication of how intense this rivalry is going to become."
The players are bracing themselves for their first game at a pro-Wildcat Bramlage Coliseum. The Wildcat fans scooped up all the seats through season ticket sales. They're hoping that Huggins keeps his word and puts an end to the Jayhawk streak.
"It will end someday," Self said. "Hopefully we can prolong that another day."

Victory prepares K-State for Kansas
BY DAVE SKRETTA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN — David Hoskins scored 20 points and Kansas State used a big second-half run to beat Iowa State 65-47 on Saturday, giving the Wildcats a much-needed shot of momentum heading into Monday's rematch with No. 9 Kansas.
Carter Martin added 17 points for Kansas State (19-8, 8-4 Big 12), including two three pointers during the decisive 22-6 spurt, which broke a 22 all tie and gave the Wildcats their first series sweep of the Cyclones since 1999.
Iowa State (13-13, 4-8) tied the game a minute out of halftime on a short jumper by Wesley Johnson, but the Cyclones did not hit another field goal for nearly six minutes as Hoskins and Martin scored on an array of drives, jumpers and standstill three-pointers.
At one point, the duo combined for 12 straight points as the Wildcats built a 44-28 lead.
Kansas State led by as many as 18 in the second half before Mike Taylor, the Cyclones' leading scorer, finally got on track. Just as he did in the teams' first meeting, when Taylor scored 21 points in the last eight minutes, the junior guard began pouring in 3-pointers.
Taylor cut the lead to 53-43 with just over 3 minutes left on a triple from the wing, but Kansas State guard Lance Harris answered at the other end to snuff out the Cyclones comeback bid.
Taylor had 12 of his team high 17 points in the second half, as
Kansas State's constant pressure in the half-court forced Iowa State into season-lows for scoring and rebounding. Jiri Hubalek finished with 13 points, but was mostly silent after scoring his team's first six.
Harris finished with 13 points for Kansas State, which had lost two of its last three and sits precariously on the NCAA tournament bubble. The Wildcats have won nine of their last 11 games, including road wins against Texas, Missouri and Iowa State.
But Kansas State's postseason chances could get much better if it can beat the rival laywakes at Bramplige Coliseum, something that has never happened since the building opened for the 1988-89 season. Kansas has won 33 of the last 34 in the series, including a 97-70 romp earlier this season at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas State coach Bob Huggins had warned his team not to look ahead, though, and it looked for a while as if they had paid little attention.
The first half was equal parts sloppy and scrapy, as the Cyclones and Wildcats combined for 21 turnovers, a plethora of offensive fouls and each endured long stretches without a field goal.
Kansas State missed 11 of its first 14 shots and trailed 14-9 with about 8 minutes left in the half, before it was Iowa State's turn for ineptitude.
The Cyclones went 6:06 without a field goal, and after Hoskins gave the Wildcats a 15-14 lead with 5:43 to go, they would not trail again the rest of the way.

OSU loses first home game in a year
BY JEFF LATZKE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STILWIATER, Okla. — Mike Anderson's frenetic "40 Minutes of Hell" defense claimed its biggest victory vet for Missouri.
Keon Lawrence scored 18 points and Matt Lawrence added 15 off five three-pointers as Missouri upset No. 18 Oklahoma State 75-64 Saturday to give the Tigers their first victory against a ranked foe under Anderson.
The Tigers pulled ahead with an 11-2 run early in the second half, and the Cowboys (19-7, 5-6 Big 12) were never able to make a run and extend their 17-game home winning streak.
"You only get confidence by winning, and that's what it does. It gives our team some confidence," the first-year coach said.
"Every time they answered us, we came down and we answered," said Keon Lawrence, who was 8-for-11 and matched his career high with
eight rebounds. "That was key. We needed to keep the crowd out of it.
The Tigers are 3-1 since the freshman Lawrence became a starter.
"He's a hard matchup, especially when you talk about up-tempo basketball," Anderson said. "He was made to play, I think, attack basketball and it was really on display."
"We went through a period of time where we quit attacking," Cowboys coach Sean Sutton said, "When a team presses and they do
The loss could be a crucial blow to the NCAA tournament hopes for the Cowboys, who have lost four of their last five and don't have a road win this season. They lost 83-54 at Texas on Monday night.
It was Oklahoma State's first home loss since Feb. 13, 2006, against Kansas — on the same day former coach Eddie Sutton announced he take a leave of absence following a drunken-driving accident.
"Right now, we're struggling." Oklahoma State forward Mario Boggan said. "We're trying to fight to get in. We need some wins. Right now, we look at it as we were not in there."
Boggan and JamesOnCurry each scored 16 and Kenny Cooper added 10 for the Cowboys, who appeared hesitant against Missouri's pressing defense.
it all the time, they can sense when a team gets passive. I thought we went through a stretch where we got out of the attack mode and just were trying to get the ball up the court."
For the Tigers, it was their first win in Stillwater since big 12 play began in 1996. Missouri shot 50 percent and was 10-for-18 from three-point range.
"I thought our transition game really dictated that." Anderson said. "We were attacking and guys were spotting on. On the road, you've got to make shots, and we did."
Stethon Hannah converted a three-point play off a scoop layup under the basket, then stole the ball and set up Keon Lawrence's three-pointer that made it 48-41 as Missouri (16-9, 5-7) to pull away. Hannah had to go to the bench after picking up his third foul, but Missouri was able to stretch its lead to 53-43 following Matt Lawrence's three-pointer and a two-handed dunk by Leo Lyons.
Oklahoma State cut the deficit in half with five straight points, but the Tigers' lead was back to 62-52 after Matt Lawrence fifth three-pointer.
It was 67-56 after Marshall Brown beat the shot clock with a three-pointer from the left wing, and Oklahoma State was never closer than seven after that.
and a foul-line jumper to extend the lead to 12 and send the Cowbys orange-clad fans streaming toward the exits in the final 2 minutes.
Brown added 12 points for Missouri, which matched its season-high with 22 turnovers but also forced 21 by the Cowboys. Matt Lawrence, who was 5-for-7 from three-point range, had his most three-poiners ever in a Big 12 game.
"He was lighting it up tonight"
Keon Lawrence said. "We told him.
'You've got to shoot the ball. When you're open, don't hesitate.' He didn't hesitate tonight — from everywhere."
Oklahoma State used Missouri's game early, getting five steals and forcing seven total turnovers to build a 14-3 lead in the first 5 minutes. Matt Lawrence hit a three-pointer to start a 12-4 comeback for the Tigers, and Darryl Butterfield found Glen Dandry wide open under the basket for a layup that cut the deficit to 16-15.
Matt Lawrence hit another three-pointer to give Missouri its first lead at 26-25, and the teams trailed the lead four times before Cooper put back Terrel Harris missed three-pointer just before the halftime buzzer to tie the game at 35.

Jayhawks return home from Florida with 3-1 tournament record
BY EVAN KAFARAKIS
Strong pitching and hard hitting led the Kansas softball team to win the Sunshine State Tournament on Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla.
The team finished the tournament with a 3-1 record.
Day one saw the Jayhawks pitied against the South Carolina Gamecocks and the No. 22 Florida State Seminoles.
The Jayhawks lost to the Gamecocks 3-1 but defeated the Seminoles 1-0.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys struck out six and only allowed two hits in her victory against the Seminoles.
She hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the seventh inning, giving the Seminoles their only loss of the season.

With the dual tied 3-3 as five anxious teammates looked on, junior Stephanie Smith found herself down a set to Jessica Carter of Utah.
Smith rallied to win the second set 6-0 and gutted out the third set 6-2 to clinch the second dual victory of the year for the Kansas tennis team.
After more than six hours of back-and-forth tennis, it was fitting that Saturday's dual between Kansas and Utah would come down to the final set.
"Of course there was extra pressure," Smith said. "But I like that pressure. I kind of thrive off of it. It gets me excited and motivated."

"He probably was impressed, wasn't he? He'll probably be wanting to find out what we did." Sadler said.
What they did was stuff the paint with defenders to keep the ball away from the Kansas big men. It was successful, but that left the Kansas guards open for three-pointers. They knocked down 11 of them and spread the wealth around. Five players reached double digits, and everybody on the team scored at least two points.
It was a fun afternoon for the layhawk, who were laughing and having a good time from the first points of the game to the time they left the fieldhouse. Self said the team was "loose" Friday in practice, and he was worried about whether they would have the focus to come out and play. They did and handed Nebraska its second-worst loss ever.
Of those 92 points, the most memorable came from Witherspoon, who needed redemption after missing his first shot attempt against Kansas State. The fans didn't give up on him and began to chant his name with

Conference dominance gives Kansas nearly 50 percent of titles
Poor competition gives Kansas nearly 50 percent of titles
Although most don't realize this, 2007 is an important anniversary on the Kansas - basketball timeline.
One hundred years ago, in January of 1907, the Jayhawks joined the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletics Association — their first conference.
Throughout the years, the name and the teams in the conference have changed, but no matter who joins Kansas' league, none have deterred the jayhawks from winning conference titles, and that is a historical fact.
Consider this: If the lajwhayz win the Big 12 title this year, they will have won 50 conference titles out of 100 years of conference affiliation. That kind of domination is nearly unprecedented among college basketball's elite.
Out of the five other college basketball powers — Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, UCLA and Indiana — only Kentucky is on par with Kansas.

The Wildcats claim 49 conference titles — the same as the Jayhawks. But the Southeastern Conference went to a divisional format in 1991, and since then the conference only awards divisional titles.
In no way does this statistic affirm Kansas's supremacy above all others in college hoops.
It's more of a suggestion that Kansas has a lack of consistent competition.
The past four contests have merely reiterated Kansas' dominance among its neighbors. The margin of victory against Kansas State, Missouri,
2nd Half
Colorado and Nebraska was 31.75 points per game.
These are the same teams Kansas has been dominating for years — the ones who can't get their basketball programs out of the gutter.
The conference lacks competition, and it's almost getting old.
But not quite yet, not until Kansas wraps up its 50th title in 100 years.
It's going to happen about every other year unless some real, sustained competition comes along, specifically in the Big 12 North.
"Right now we are tied with A&M to win our league," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said after beating Nebraska by 53 points. "That's what we want to do is win the league."
Kansas State, I'm looking in your direction.

Nebraska shut down the Kansas inside game, but at the expense of letting the three-point shooters run wild. As a result, Sherron Collins and company enjoyed a big day from behind the arc. Nebraska, on the other hand, struggled from just about everywhere, including going 4-12 from the free-throw line (not pictured). Junior center Aleks Marcin finished the day 6-for-16 in the paint for the "Huskers." Shot chart information compiled by KU Athletics.

Balanced attack leads Jayhawks
BY MARK DENT
The former North Carolina coach and Kansas player, who was honored at Saturday's game for his role on the 1952 national championship team, watched the Jayhawks practice on Friday. Kansas coach Bill Self thought his players were too "loose" and asked for Smith's opinion.
Dean Smith didn't even see thus one coming.
Being loose must have been the best thing for Kansas as it turned in its most balanced effort of the year Saturday in a 92-39 demolition of Nebraska.
"I said, 'Have you ever had a bad practice the day before a game?'" Self said. "He said, 'Yes.' A lot of people think if you practice bad play better, but he said he didn't believe in that. So he had me pretty worried going into today."
It turned out Self had nothing to worry about.
All 13 players who entered the
Kansas couldn't have been so balanced if not for the play of the bench. Starters Rush, Wright and sophomore guard Mario Chalmers all scored in double digits, but the reserves made the difference.
"Our second unit shot the ball great." Self said. "I don't know if I've
One reason for this point-scoring parity was the layhawks' willingness to pass. Kansas had 25 assists on 35 field goals. The layhawks hadn't handed out that many assists since a December game against Winston Salem State.
game scored. Six players had nine or more points, but no one had more than 13. This balance came one week after the exact opposite occurred against Missouri. Kansas scored the same amount of points, but against the Tigers, sophomores Julian Wright and Brandon Rush combined for 54. Only seven players scored in that game.
"I thought we played really well" Self said. "We shared the ball very well."
ever been in a game where our second group shot the ball so well. You don't see that very often."
Kansas' bench players made 7 of 13 three-point attempts. Freshman guard Sherron Collins had three of those and jumpstarted the jayhawks, just as he has all conference season
In the second half, Kansas continued to build on its lead because of its reserves. Freshman forward Darrell Arthur, junior guard Jeremy Case, junior guard Rodrick Stewart and junior forward Darnell Jackson all scored four or more points in the second half.
With Kansas only up 20-18 with about seven minutes left in the first half, Collins took over. He scored on a layup in transition and made a free throw to stretch his team's lead to five. Then, he rebounded a Nebraska miss, ran down the court and made a three-pointer. Largely because of Collins, the layhawks had a comfortable 14-point lead at half.
"We got Sherron coming off the bench who gives us a great spark,
then Shady coming off the bench" Rush said. "Our bench players give us the biggest sparks of the game."
Knowing that the bench could be counted on to score help Kansas considerably in its race for the conference title and later on in the NCAA Tournament. In last year's first-round loss to Bradley, only two non-starters made a field goal. Now, if teams are able to prevent Kansas' starting five from taking over, several reserves could step up.
The confidence the layhawks have in their bench is helping them gear up for the stretch run of the Big 12 Conference season that starts today at Kansas State.
"Everybody's just trying to focus in," Chalmers said. "We're trying to win the league. Everybody's trying to play better every day."

One thing that continues to impress me about Russell Robinson is how well he can play inside the paint. The junior guard is obviously a terrific shooter and ball handler, but he can also contend for rebounds and create plays when he steps inside. There aren't a lot of ball-handling guards who can do that.
The 1952 championship team reunited at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday, including former North Carolina coach Dean Smith. Kansas coach Bill Self said the team also visited practice on Friday, and he was glad that his players and fans had the opportunity to see the team and, in particular, Smith. "I hope that Kansas fans and students — maybe not the students, because they haven't been alive long enough — understand that KU produced as good a coach as our profession has ever had. Period. And we're so proud of that." Self said.
> Afternoon games in Allen Fieldhouse just don't have the same feel as the night games. From the sun shining in to the late-arriving students, things are different when a game is played during the day. Perhaps that's because Kansas is on national TV so often that afternoon games have become a rarity.

Senior guard Sharita Smith plays defense against the Wildcats. Coach Bonnie Henrickson's record for overtime victories remains spotless.
Freshman fills personal gaps
BY CASE KEEFER
It has been quite the eight days for Danielle McCray.
"The difference in this game was a young freshman in Danielle McCray stepping up and making big plays." Kansas State coach Deb Patterson said.
In the final-second victory at Texas, the freshman forward had her first career double-double, and against Missouri Wednesday made her first collegiate start. But most importantly, McCray was Kansas' key contributor in a 82-74 double-overtime victory against Kansas State Sunday.
McCray had a career-high 25 points, ten rebounds and a surprising 47 minutes. Early in the season McCray never saw much playing time because of a lack in her conditioning and strength skills.
"Bonnie always told me get your conditioning down and you're going to be a great athlete," McCray said.
It wasn't a coincidence that Sunday's performance came in the same week McCray won her first sprint in practice.
Another area she struggled with was three-point shooting. In the last four games, McCray shot 4-for-19 from behind the arc.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson noticed the troubling statistic and addressed her concerns with McCray prior to the Sunday's game.
"I didn't tell her what her numbers were," Henrickson said, "but I talked to her this morning about why she hadn't been shooting well."
McCray must have listened. Against Kansas State, she finished 6-for7 shooting from the three-point line.
"I was just ready to take shots and stayed confident," she said. "Everyone was giving me the ball and believing I could make plays happen."
McCray sealed the Jayhaws first victory against the Wildcats since 2001 with 2.58 remaining in double overtime. She hit a three-pointer from the top of the key to make it a two-possession game. A minute and a half later, she sealed the game with a beautiful nothing-but-net three-pointer to make the score 81-71.
Kansas was up by as many as nine in the first half thanks to McCray's perfect 4-for-4 from three-point range.
Although she scored only two points in the second half, McCray made sure her contributions were still noticed. She grabbed five rebounds, including one with two minutes remaining that kept the Jayhawks in the lead.
It was a different story for McCray the first time Kansas faced Kansas State in January. She had a chance to send the game into overtime but missed a wide open two-foot shot at the end of regulation. McCray used the miscue for motivation Sunday.
"I hung my head after that shot," she said, "and I wanted to make up for it today."
McCray did more than make up for it. If the Jayhawks hope to win Wednesday against Oklahoma, they will need a similar game from the freshman forward.

In-state battle revived
Even after Sunday's streak snapping victory against Kansas State, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson remained modest about the accomplishment.
Sure, victories against a ranked Texas team a season ago and in the opening round of the WNIT were nice, but this was about more than just headlines. It was a battle for in-state bragging rights and, more importantly, recruiting.
The Kansas women's basketball coach certainly could have called the victory the biggest in her three seasons in Lawrence, but she didn't. I will.
"It feels good to win," she said.
For most of her 11 seasons in Manhattan, Kansas State coach Deb Patterson has dominated the in-state recruiting battle. She signed Kansas natives Kendra Wecker and Nicole Ohlde, who have both gone on to fame in the WNBA. Five of the nine Wildcats on this season's roster also hail from Kansas.
SALAMATKARI
The biggest knock on the Kansas program in the recent past has been that the Jayhawks have never been able to compete with the Wildcats. During the six-year streak in the Sunflower series, that was certainly true. K-State's average margin of victory was more than 20 points per game. With their utter domination in the series, Patterson and the Wildcats were able to dominate the in-state recruiting battle, as well.
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
RSCHNEIDER@KANSAN.COM
Sunday's victory could provide the momentum Henrickson and her staff need to help turn the tide in recruiting. The Jayhawks already nabbed the state's best player a season ago
when Danielle McCray committed to Kansas. That addition certainly played a big role Sunday. McCray, a freshman forward, finished with a game-high 25 points, including six three-pointers and 10 rebounds. She was, by far, the most dominant player on the floor all afternoon.
Now that Kansas has finally ended K-State's six-year domination, another battle is already brewing. If Henrickson can woo a few more instate recruits away from Manhattan, Kansas just might start a winning streak of its own in the Sunflower series.
The women's program has had success with in-state recruits in the past, the most famous being Lynette Woodard, a four-time All-American from 1978 to 1981.
Schneider is a Lawrence senior in journalism. He is Kansan sports editor.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS
MONDAY FEBRUARY 19,2007
KU
TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Aside from in-state bragging rights and a conference championship, the Jayhawks have turned their focus to March and the big prize. If Kansas goes undefeated the rest of the season and gets some help from top teams, the Jayhawks could find themselves on top of a bracket on Selection Sunday.
STAR WATCH
Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers broke out of a recent shooting slump Saturday, and
Chalmers
Chalmers
his play makes an already deep guard rotation deeper. At one point during the Nebraska game, he took the court alongside freshman guard Sherron Collins and junior guard Russell Robinson.
QUESTION MARK
WILL THE JAYHAWKS PLAY PRESSURE DEFENSE?
Usually they mix in the press sporadically throughout the game, but perhaps they will go with wall-to-wall pressure to try to perplex the Wildcats.
3 REASONS KUWINS
ONE — The Jayhawks might just be the hottest team in America right now. They're blowing out teams and playing with the type of chemistry that makes opponents afraid in March.
TWO — One day of rest. The Jayhawks are used to it, having played several Big Monday and tournament games. It may be harder for the Wildcats to adjust, especially with Huggins' demanding practices.
**THREE** — Brad Witherspoon and Matt Kleinmann. The duo combined for four points Saturday, and though their minutes will probably be kept small tonight, it's good to know they're there.
HOMESWEETHOME
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
Kansas looks to extend its winning streak in Manhattan
KANSAS VS. KANSAS STATE 8 Tonight, Bramlage Coliseum, ESPN
Kansas 22-4,9-2 Big 12
OFFENSE
Kansas State 19-8, 8-4 Big 12
The Jlayhawk offense has proved versatile at all positions so far this season. The guards, led by freshman Sherron Collins, are able to knock down zone-busting three-pointers as well as force turnovers and ball-handling errors. The forwards, including sophomore Julian Wright, have dominated opponents for rebounds and blocks. Between those two is sophomore guard Brandon Rush, who is again emerging as one of the country's best players.
The only concern is foul trouble for the Jayhawk big men. Self said that junior center Sasha Kaun and freshman forward Darrell Arthur made "some of the fooliest fouls." They'll be needed so the Jayhawks can keep fresh bodies in at all times.
KU KU KU KU
DEFENSE
Kansas' defense received a compliment from famed North Carolina coach Dean Smith, who said it was even better in person than on television. Defense has always been this team's forte, and look for that to continue tonight. Both teams are playing on one day of rest, and if the Wildcats aren't in top shape, the Jayhawks will play aggressive and press for turnovers, which can turn into fast-break points on the other end.
KU KU KU KU KU
MOMENTUM
OFFENSE
Nobody's doubting that the Jay hawks are on a roll recently, but the Wildcats are also coming off a victory, and they'll have the home-court advantage. If Kansas is going to quiet the Bramlage Coliseum crowd, it's going to require an early lead and a blowout game by halftime. Otherwise, the Wildcat fans have been waiting for this game for too long to go silent early. Look for a strong start by Kansas, but don't be surprised if K-State keeps it from getting out of hand.
The fact that guard Jermaine Maybank was Kansas State's leading scorer the first time these two teams played says enough about the Wildcats' recent offensive struggles. Maybank, who averages 3.9 points per game, dropped 26 against the Jayhawks. He had to step up because leading scorer Cartier Martin, guard Lance Harris and guard David Hoskins all had sub-par games. For K-State to not lose by 27 points this game, Martin is going to have to step up. He never got in the flow of the game against the Jayhawks, but he has played well since. Since then, he's scored 25, 22 and 17 points in his team's last three games — all above his average of 16.
DEFENSE
The Wildcats have the reputation of being a good defensive team, but they don't show it on the court. Kansas State has no trouble shutting down dysfunctional also-rans such as Colorado and Iowa State, but it can't stop any team that is a serious offensive threat. Missouri and Kansas both had strong offensive performances with K-State. Even Nebraska did. That's right, the Huskers' Aleks Maric scored 41 points against the Wildcats last week. His whole team didn't even score that much against Kansas last Saturday. Expect Kansas State to play better defensively than it did against Kansas the first time, but don't expect the Wildcats to allow less than 75 points.

MOMENTUM
This game has been circled on every K-State student, player and faculty member's calendar since Oct. 13. On that day, Kansas State coach Bob Huggins more or less told the fans present at Midnight Madness the streak would end. Oh yeah, the streak. Not a single player on either team was alive the last time the Wildcats beat the Jayhawks in Manhattan. The players on Kansas State won't admit it, but they want to win this game more than anything in the world. It's embarrassing to lose 24 games in a row at home to your rival, and they want it to end. Tonight, K-State will make it closer than last time, but the streak shall continue. The NCAA Tournament
— Mark Dent

KSU TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Any K-State fan will tell you that a victory against Texas counts as a major victory, but they are lying. The Longhorns aren't a guaranteed NCAA Tournament team. If the Wildcats want to really soup up their tourney resume, they need this one tonight.

crowd got under his skin, and he complained every time the referee blew his whistle. Maybe this time he'll convert all his energy into something positive.
QUESTION MARK
IS KANSAS STATE BIG ENOUGH?
Freshmen forwards Luis Colon and Bennett aren't good enough or experienced enough to hang with Kansas' dominating front line, and guards Cartier Martin and David Haskins aren't tall enough. The Wildcats have to hope foul prone junior center Sasha Kaun and freshman forward Darrell Arthur will make foolish mistakes and take themselves out of the game.
3 REASONS KSUWINS
ONE — Bramlage Coliseum.
Bramlage will be bang'in tonight. This will be the loudest the building has been in its history. Bill Self said he thinks it will be the toughest road environment his team has faced this season.
TWO — Revenge. Kansas State is not just going to be ticked off because of the 97-70 loss to Kansas two weeks ago. It is also still stinging from the Nebraska loss last week. Both of those defeats hurt and if K.State harnesses its anger the right way, it could have a big game.
THREE — Poetic Justice. This streak has to end at some point. So many things have gone right for Kansas the past few years. This could be the year the scales finally tip the other way.

Martin
Martin is going to be hungry after only making two field goals against the Jayhawks the first time they played. If he has a good game, anything could happen. Wright is playing some of his best basketball of the season. He usually plays best if he gets out to a quick start. Look for him to try and score on several of the Jayhawks' first possessions. When Wright establishes himself as a dominant scorer, Kansas rarely loses.

Schools collaborate on Nokia project
》 TECHNOLOGY
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Cell phones could once again revolutionize how journalists work.
Students in the School of Journalism at the University of Kansas are working with both design and business students to evaluate two new Nokia cell phones that are capable of shooting, editing and uploading high-quality video on the fly.
Greg Thomas, chair of the design department, started the project in December with Nokia and Cingular, which donated phones and service to the University. The project will help define and advance the role of citizen journalism, the concept that citizen can report news events.
Thomas, who has been at the University for three years, said it was important to use the phones as a teaching tool for students in the
"Everybody's armed to be a reporter," Thomas said.
three different schools.
Design students will assess the ergonomics of the camera and make it as user-friendly as possible. Business students will evaluate the size and trends of the citizen journalist market among college students. Journalism students will test the phone's use as a reporting tool.
The N93 looks like an oversized flip phone that users can flip open and rotate the screen, changing it into to a handheld video camera. The N73 is similar to a small digital camera that uses the phone's menu screen as a viewfinder.
Thomas said the retail cost of the Nokia N93 is about $700. The N73 is about $500. The small, inconspicuous phones are less intrusive than standard video cameras, he said. Nokia's N93 can shoot video at 30 frames per second.
Nathan Rodriguez, Lawrence grad student, used the small, easy to-use N73 to shoot and edit his first
video blog.
"It can be a handy tool to get people interested and involved," he said. "It'll democratize the way media is produced."
Patrick Lafferty, Dole Center multimedia newsroom coordinator, said the phones help establish the concept of the "pocket journalist," allowing reporting straight from the field. He said users of the phone could post video directly online.
"This cuts out the middle man." Lafferty said.
Wally Meyer, director of entrepreneurship programs at the School of Business, said the project provides Nokia with a unique opportunity for a commercial venture.
He said the objective is to identify ways to communicate the emerging trend of citizen journalism among college students.
"The idea of empowering the citizens of the world to report news events is an increasing thing." Meyer
said.
Advanced entrepreneurship students will create a business road map for the phone's commercial application.
Meyer said business, design and journalism students would meet three or four times over the semester to discuss the project and trade insight.
Thomas said that although issues of credibility are still at stake for citizen journalists, developing the videophone as a reporting tool will help bridge the gap between private citizen and journalist.
"it's my hope that we can come up with concepts that Nokia didn't think up," he said.

Changes would improve fire safety
》 CONSTRUCTION
Renovation to add exits equipment in Wescoe
A renovation project for Wescoe Hall announced last week will include a new entrance on the south side of the building, as well as updates to fire equipment in the building's basement. The announcement listed "fire code improvements" as part of the $4.8 million project.
BY ERICK R. SCHMIDT
Jim Modig, the University of Kansas' director of design and construction management, said the changes would include updates to the fire alarm system, improved lighting for the building's exits and emergency exits, as well as possible updates to the sprinkler system. The sprinkler system was added in the early 1970s, Modig said, and hasn't been changed since. Tests will be run to determine if improvements are needed to the system, which only encompasses the basement level and a few hallways on upper levels. The temperature-sensitive sprinkler heads that hang from the ceiling will be checked for adequate water flow.
"We'll take a real serious look at the other doors," he said. "We have to maintain the required exits"
Modig said the new exit would provide a ground-level entrance to the south side of the building's east portion, just east of the loading docks. Currently, that area is home to offices. Modig said the offices would have to be removed as part of the large-scale construction to replace crumbling slabs of the building's base. When the offices are rebuilt, two or three offices will be eliminated to build the new exit.
University fire marshal Bob Rombach said the fire code updates weren't unexpected and that there were many reasons for them. He said the codes written in the 1970s wouldn't be accepted today.
Emily Hall is a graduate teaching assistant in the English department and has an office in the affected area. Hall said the ongoing construction hadn't been a major problem, aside from the noise. She said she hoped to be moved to the addition that is currently under construction.
"I thought they would have it done this summer," Hall said. "All I hear is 'it's loud'"
"It needs to be addressed now, Rombach said. "It's gotten worse in the last couple of years. Really, it's now to the point where it's crossed the line."
Costs of the fire code improvements are unknown, but will be included in the $4.8 million project that was developed after current construction on the building revealed more damage. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by summer 2008.
Construction on the project will begin as quickly as possible. Modig said, and will not seriously hamper traffic in the building.

odd news
Students offer fellow classmates place to crash
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The idea of a nap club at Indiana University South Bend started out as a joke. Then some people slept on it.
Students Michael Duttlinger and Joe Spencer, president and vice president, respectively point to studies that say napping can heighten creativity boost memory and increase alertness.
The Nap Club consists of a quiet room with the shades drawn, a few desks and chairs, and six air mattresses, purchased through a small sum allotted to campus clubs.
Up to 15 people can come in to doze. A moderator wakes them up at the appropriate time and "makes sure no one messes with you or your stuff," Duttlinger says.
The room is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
The club started simply enough. "We were being funny and talking about starting a club, and I'm like, 'What should we do?' recalls Duttlinger. Spencer suggested Duttlinger do something he liked, and napping came to mind.

CERAMICS
'Dangos' give artist world recognition
Charlie Riedel/ASSOCIATED PRESS
World reknown artist Jun Kaneko looks with a pair of 10-foot-tall ceramic heads inside a kiln at Mission Clay in Pittsburg, Wednesday. Kaneko has been taking advantage of the industrial-sized equipment to create a series of giant heads and 'dangos' "Dangos" is Japanese for dumplings. Kaneko's versions are among the highest priced ceramic art in the world.
BY MARIA SUDEKUM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURG — Jun Kaneko, whose ceramic sculptures are on display in museums and galleries around the world, has been working on his latest project in a southeast Kansas sewer pine factory.
But as he looks around his 10,000 square foot space at Mission Clay Products, Kaneko seems perfectly at home.
"Doesn't matter. I used to live in New York, but I never go out. So what's the point?" says Kaneko, 64. "I don't need anything else. I don't watch TV. I don't go to movies, and so actually, it's much better in a smaller city or town. Less distraction. No traffic."
Kaneko's 2 1/2-year project at Mission Clay is planned for completion in October, and involves creating several of his oversized "Dangos," Japanese for dumplings, and four giant Buddha-like heads. The Dangos, which range from 9 1/2 feet to 13 feet high, weigh upward of 2,000 pounds. The heads are about 4.5 tons. Each piece requires months of preparation and weeks in two of Mission Clay's yurt-like, 15-foot kilns.
Kaneko used Mission Clay's kilns at its facility in Southern California for an earlier project making 11-foot Dangos and heard about the Pittsburg site five years ago. He was initially reluctant to attempt the massive heads and 13-foot Dangos, but decided if he didn't do it now, he might never get to it.
"This is purely an experimental project," Kaneko says. "The nature of ceramics is if you increase the size of a piece even 6 inches you will have a technical challenge. It's a hundred times more difficult adding 2 or 3 feet."
Kaneko, whose work is in several public collections, including the American Craft Museum in New York, the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, also has
scores of public commissions and about 15 dealers around the country
His Dangos are among the largest high-priced ceramics in the world and can sell for about $100,000, said Sherry Leedy, Kaneko's dealer in Kansas City, Mo. Although he also works in smaller proportions, big has always been part of Kaneko's aesthetic.
"I don't know why, but I started to make pretty good-sized pieces from the beginning. I started in California in the '60s, and the people around me were making big pieces. (Peter) Voulkos and John Mason, he was making huge pieces — but in sections."
"People joke about me. Don't you know how to make sections? Why are you struggling? Are you stupid? But I sort of like a singular piece."
Kaneko left Nagoya, Japan, in the 1960s to study art in Los Angeles. In 1986, he moved to Omaha, Neb., where he has bought seven downtown buildings for his projects. His wife, Ree Kaneko, also founded the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts there. Kaneko makes the five-hour drive to Pittsburgh every month, depending on where he is in the Dango process.
Because of the size of the Dangos, many of which he paints with geometric patterns, Kaneko has to deal with losing some work in the kiln. But a Dango in pieces on the workroom floor is just another possibility to Kaneko, who exudes calm and optimism.
"I'm going to take it home and do something else with it," he says of a broken Dango. "I don't want to lose too much, but it's the nature of the ceramic business, especially when you do this scale"
Cracks are yet another opportunity.
"Most of the people see a crack as a defect and then throw it away. But you can't create these cracks by yourself, intentionally. If you know how to cooperate with that, that it's part of what happened, then there are possibilities ... and it could be much stronger than a controlled piece."
Kaneko returns to Japan about once a year. He says he is at home in Omaha, where he has about 160,000 square feet among his buildings.
"The Midwest definitely helps me to maintain the studio activity the way I want. ... I like to have enough space so I can isolate different projects to different areas. It's not an easy thing to do, but if I lived in New York, it's impossible."
Kaneko has also lured one friend — an artist — away from the West Coast to Nebraska.
"He is really happy now. He's got 20,000 square feet, and it's completely jammed already," Kaneko says. "This guy took nine semi-trucks from California. It took a whole year to move. Now he's running out of space."
》 HEALTH CARE
BY JOHN HANNA ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Republican Sen. Pat Roberts is working with a Democratic colleague to block some of President Bush's budget proposals for social services, suggesting those recommendations could amount to "rationing health care"
The Kansas senator said Monday that he doubts Bush's proposals enjoy much support, so he would like Congress to avoid a lengthy back-and-forth before providing additional funds for the Medicare and Medicaid programs. He's most concerned about payments to hospitals that provide services to the programs' participants.
Bush's proposals are designed to save $76 billion over five years in Medicare, the program that provides medical services for the elderly. They also would trim $25 billion from Medicaid, the medical program for the needy. They've already received strong criticism from Democrats.
Roberts was in Topeka to discuss health care issues with the chief executive officers of 15 northeast Kansas hospitals. His visit was among a week's worth of events scheduled statewide.
He and Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., are drafting a letter to the White House and the chairman and ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, asking them to protect hospital payments.
"Health care programs are under a lot of pressure." Roberts said after meeting with the hospital CEOs. "What we end up doing is basically rationing health care, and that's not right."
Roberts' return home also comes the week after the House's approval of a nonbinding resolution opposing Bush's decision to increase troop strength in Iraq
by 21,500 soldiers. Senators are still battling over whether they'll consider only Democratic leaders' proposed resolution condemning the troop surge or Republican alternatives.
As for passing a resolution supporting the troops but opposing the surge, Roberts said, "That's rather remarkable in terms of the mixed message that it sends."
He also said he wants to give the new top commander in Iraq. Gen. David Petraeus, a chance to determine whether American and allied forces are making progress in quelling sectarian violence.
On the budget, social services spending is also a concern of Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. She said last week that U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt seems ready to work with states to help them expand coverage to more residents.
"I keep asking him if he has some new resources that he's willing to bring. Is he willing to bring his checkbook to this conversation?" she said. "I still can't get a very clear answer on that, and unfortunately, the president's budget seems to move in exactly the opposite direction."
Roberts said he doesn't want the debate this year to follow the pattern of previous budget debates.
"We usually discuss this for a full year in a session of Congress, and then we come up with an emergency supplemental," he said. "My goal will try to be to not go through that and to restore the funding."
He said squeezing Medicare and Medicaid can lead to more costs. For example, he said, if Congress reduces the number of people who receive rehab services after a serious accident, some end up back in the hospital.

GAY MARRIAGE

Kevin Pilla, left, and his partner Thomas Mannix sit with their buddy, Buddy, at their home in Asbury Park, N.J. Monday, Mannix and Pilla were among the first to fill out civil union applications at Asbury Park City Hall Moon. The first day to get a license for civil unions in the city was
New Jersey joins group of states granting civil unions
BY GEOFF MULVIHILL ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEANECK, N.J. — Hundreds of gay couples were granted the same legal rights, if not the title, as married couples Monday as New Jersey became the third state to offer civil unions.
More than a dozen other couples applied for licenses for ceremonies later in the week.
The civil unions, which offer the legal benefits but not the title of marriage, were granted automatically to the hundreds of gay New Jersey couples who had previously been joined in civil unions or married in other states or nations.
Couples who had not been joined previously could apply for licenses but must wait 72 hours before they can hold civil union ceremonies, the same waiting period for weddings.
Several, like Marty Finkle and Michael Plake, plan to exchange vows Thursday.
"This is as close to marriage as we're going to get for right now." Finkle said after he and Plake applied for their civil union license.
at the town hall in South Orange early Monday.
A few dozen friends and local officials cheered as they filled out the requisite form.
New Jersey lawmakers hastily created civil unions in December, less than two months after a state Supreme Court decision held that gay couples had a right to the same benefits as married couples.
Supporters of gay marriage say they may sue, contending that civil unions do not create the equality the court ordered.
Some social conservative groups, meanwhile, are pledging to block same-sex marriage by pressing for an amendment to the state constitution that prohibits such unions. Forty-five states have laws or amendments that ban same-sex marriage.
Among the hundreds of benefits under the civil unions law, gay couples get rights dealing with adoption, child custody, visiting a hospitalized partner, making medical decisions and getting the same access to health insurance coverage that employers offer spouses of workers. Civil union partners also now have the right not to testify
against a partner in state court.
However, the federal government and most states do not recognize the unions. That means, for instance, that a surviving member of a civil union would not be entitled to his deceased partner's Social Security benefits. And if a partner is hospitalized in another state, the other may not be allowed to visit.
Only one state — Massachusetts — allows marriage for same-sex couples. Connecticut, Vermont and California have laws similar to New Jersey's, though California calls its system domestic partnerships.
Despite the Presidents Day holiday, a handful of town halls around the state opened to accept license applications for the unions. At least 20 couples applied in Asbury Park, Collingswood, Lambertville and South Orange.
Thomas Mannix and Kevin Pilla arrived at Asbury Park City Hall at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday so they could be among the first to fill out the application.

Aspirin plays key role in women's health
BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCATED PRESS
Nearly all American women are in danger of heart disease or stroke and should be more aggressive about lowering their risk — including asking their doctors about daily aspirin use, the American Heart Association said Monday in new guidelines.
It is the first time guidelines have urged all women to consider aspirin for preventing strokes, although specialists warn that it can cause ulcers and dangerous bleeding. They said it is probably not a good idea for young women with no big health problems.
"We do not want women to go to the drugstore and just start taking this themselves. It is critical that every woman talk to her doctor," said Dr. Lori Mosca, director of preventive cardiology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and chair of the expert panel that wrote the guidelines.
The guidelines also advise daily exercise and less fat, and declare vitamins C and E, beta carotene and folic acid supplements worthless for preventing heart disease.
The guidelines were published in the Journal Circulation with related studies on women's health, including one suggesting that hormone skin patches may be safer than pills for menopause symptoms.
In general, the guidelines aim to get women and doctors to focus on the long-term risk of high blood pressure, smoking, lack of exercise or being overweight — even if a woman's current health seems fine. Even a single risk factor at age 50 greatly raises the chance of heart disease or stroke later, and only about
10 percent of American women are free of these problems.
The evidence shows that many more women than thought are at risk of heart disease and stroke even those whose only weakness was failure to exercise every day. Heart disease is the leading killer of men and women worldwide.
Aspirin did prevent strokes in women, but again, the benefit was substantial only among older ones, said Dr. JoAnn Manson, a Harvard University women's health expert who helped lead that study.
"We do not want women to wait until they develop symptoms to begin to take action," Mosca said.
Aspirin is recommended now to prevent heart disease in men 45 and older; but in women, a large study found it prevented heart disease only for those 65 and older.
"This is a really good gathering of evidence in women," after years of studies done mostly on men, said Dr. Sidney Smith, heart disease chief at the university of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and past heart association president.
The guidelines were drafted by dozens of groups worldwide, including the American Academy of Family Physicians and the U.S. government. Of the 33 people who wrote the advice, 13 have financial ties to heart drug makers, only three of them to a large degree.
Putting young women on aspirin for stroke prevention is not justified by the evidence, Manson warned. In the 10-year study, aspirin prevented only one additional cardiovascular problem among roughly 35,000 women under 65 and led to 20 cases of bleeding requiring transfusion, she said.
EXERCISE.
Advice
DIET.
Get at least 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise on most days.
DON'T SMOKE.
Eat mostly fruits and vegetables, whole grain and high-fiber foods, fish at least twice a week, and little salt. Limit alcohol to one drink or less a day.
Use nicotine replacement products if needed to stop.
USE SUPPLEMENTS
Keep LDL or bad cholesterol under 100 if at high risk of heart disease and under 70 if at very high risk.
WATCH WEIGHT.
Keep body-mass index under 25.
USE SUPPLEMENTS.
Consider omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) if you already have heart disease.
MAINTAIN LOW BLOOD PRESSURE.
USE ASPIRIN.
Daily use is already urged for women at high risk, and the guidelines now say the dose can go up to 325 milligrams. All other women should consider 81 milligrum "baby aspirin" daily or 100 milligrams every other day for stroke prevention.

Bombs kill 66 in India
Train fire fails to halt countries from continuing peace talks
BY MATTHEW ROSENBERG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEWANA, India — Leaders of India and Pakistan pressed ahead Monday with their peace process, hours after twin bombs — apparently intended to disrupt their relations — sparked a fire that killed 66 people aboard a train that links the two rivals.
The fire destroyed two coaches on the Sanjahtua Express, about an hour after the train left New Delhi on its way to the Pakistan border. Officials said the attack was timed ahead of the arrival of Pakistani Foreign Minister Khursheed Kasuri, who was expected Tuesday in the Indian capital.
"This is an attempt to derail the improving relationship between India and Pakistan," Railway Minister Laloo Prasad told reporters.
Pakistan quickly decried the attack, and Indian officials took pains to avoid laying any quick blame. Each side appeared to reach out across the border.
Indian Prime Minister Mammohan Singh declared his country's "abhorrence for this heinous terrorist act", and expressed his condolences by telephone to Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, according to Singh's office. Most of the dead were Pakistani.
India will do 'everything possible to ensure that its perpetrators are
punished," the statement said.
Speaking to India's CNN-IBN television, Kasuri called the bombing a "terrible act of terrorism" and said "the peace process must go on with greater vigor and greater determination."

Navtej Sarna, spokesman for India's foreign ministry, read a statement that focused, in large part, on help being offered by India to Pakistani families.

India's junior home minister, Sriprakash Jaswal, said the bombs were intended only to start a fire and were timed to explode ahead of Kasuri's Tuesday arrival.

Iran falls behind in payments to Russia
>> NUCLEAR POWER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — The launch of a Russian-built nuclear power plant in Iran could be delayed because Iran has fallen behind in payments, Russian officials said Monday. Top Iranian officials swiftly denied that payments had been disrupted, in the latest dispute surrounding the deal at the heart of the two countries' nuclear cooperation.
Last year, Russia agreed to ship nuclear fuel to Bushehr
— iran's first nuclear plant — by March 2007 and launch the facility in September, with electricity generation to start by November. Under a separate deal, Iran agreed to return to Russia all spent fuel from the plant in southern Iran for reprocessing — a move intended to assuage global concerns that the fuel could be diverted to make nuclear weapons.
Iran broke the schedule of payments this year under the $1 billion contract, said a Russian official, who asked not be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media. He said the Iranians blamed the delay on the need to switch payments from dollars to euros.
But Mohammad Saeedi, the deputy head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, denied that Iran had been late in making payments.
"The launch schedule definitely could be affected." Sergei Novikov, a spokesman for Russia's nuclear power agency, told The Associated Press.
"Iran has had no delay whatsoever in making payments for the Bushehr nuclear power plant to the Russian ... company", Saeed told the news agency IRNA.

OUR VIEW
'Troop'abused as term for human life
In an era of televised wars and violent video games, it's easy to become desensitized to military deaths. We see snippets of combat on the evening news, hear brief recitations of the week's deaths on the radio and — barring some personal connection — move on. But the linguistic battle about current military policy transforms an entire generation of fallen soldiers into little more than numbers.
The vernacular of American political debate has often lent itself to obfuscation and reductionism. Today, the usage of the word "troop" is the latest victim of this disturbing trend. The word has supplanted most other terms for military personnel because of its simplicity, rugged associations, and proud blue-collar connotations, as well as its convenience for bumper stickers. The word permeates the current debate about Iraq policy: "support the troops," "de-fund the troops," "bring home the troops," et al.
Even the internal struggle within the Democratic policy machine centers on the term. Resolutions opposing the escalation center on the political ramifications, lest the lawmakers be perceived as being "anti-troop." The Democrats, weary of playing Salieri to the Republicans' Mozart on national security policy, clamor to be seen as the party that most "supports the troops" Republicans, for so long
the party of military support, insist you cannot simultaneously be "anti-war" and "pro-troop"
Lost in the semantic donnybrook is the precise nature of exactly what we are discussing. A "troop" is not an emotionless automaton, sent into a combat zone to accomplish a task and then assured a safe return. A "troop" is not merely a unit of measure used to determine the size of our fighting forces. A "troop" is certainly not a political pawn, worthy only of lip service, some distant entity to which you publicly pledge your unfailing support.
A "troop" is a human being: a friend and neighbor, and an American. The men and women fighting and dying in Iraq are not faceless warriors. They are policemen, mechanics, attorneys, receptionists and plumbers. Before you denounce or praise the latest surge in Iraq, stop to consider what is at stake. To put a human face on the situation, picture the entire undergraduate population of the University being sent to fight in a foreign land. The surge does not consist of 21,000 "troops". It is made up of 21,000 American citizens, whose sacrifices are too noble for linguistic dehumanization.

Surge will help Iraq, America
President Bush's proposal to increase the number of American troops in Iraq has been approved. The troops will stabilize the country prior to relinquishing security operations to Iraqi defense forces. This plan has met with stern opposition from congressional Democrats — and from some Republicans — but it is the only viable option.
America is involved in a war on terror — the first war of the 21st century — and Iraq is an integral part of it. This war demands a proactive America to choose the time and place of the confrontation.
BY BRANDON MINSTER
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
No one should forget how this war began: when our opponent attacked white-collar men and women in their workplaces. Now they are fighting our professionally trained volunteer armed forces on the other side of the world. Anyone who says American involvement in Iraq has not made this country safer is disingenuous at best and dishonest at worst.
America did not start this war. The first attack was made against us, not by us. And the front line of our defense that day was office workers and airline passengers. By taking a proactive defensive posture we are now defended by those most capable to perform the job.
The surge seeks to create a safer Iraq wherein domestic security forces can function.
A destabilized Iraq would become another Somalia or Afghanistan, a lawless state rife for terrorist activities. It would signal to our enemies that our complacency has undermined our vigilance, and it would return the front line of this war to the American high-rises and

airports where it began.
Critics say that not only should our forces not increase, but they should return home, leaving Iraq to its own devices.
American troops have remained in Germany and Japan for more than 60 years now, with no indication of when those "occupations" will end.
Our troops' presence in Iraq is not a problem. The problem is the continuing violence against them and the Iraqi civilians. When an American city becomes more dangerous, community members demand more police. But when Iraq became more dangerous, critics demanded a withdrawal.
If protecting America's most dangerous cities is vital, protecting Iraq is even more so.
When inner cities become more violent, there is little threat of those neighborhoods becoming terrorist bases. Most Americans could avoid the danger by staying out of the area.
Avoiding seedy neighborhoods is relatively simple, but avoiding a terrorist attack would involve staying out of skyscrapers and airplanes, shopping malls and sporting arenas. In short, it would mean quitting modern American life.
Should we abandon Iraq to the terrorist influences now vying for dominance there, the average American would become much more threatened.

dopest girl.
Well, it's been almost a week since Valentine's Day, the day on which we feel as though we've been soaked in Egon's pink goo, that is to say, full of romantic notions and goodwill, but at the same time gross and slimy. And as this beautiful holiday approached, and even in its aftermath, I couldn't help but think about one particular relationship that I see every day. Frankly, I'm worried about how it will turn out

She was named Big Business, but her friends called her Corporations. She maintained the same popularity as America. Together they were the perfect king and queen, with so much sway and influence they could do anything they wanted.

much deliberation, The American People took America aside and told her affectionately, "Dude. Bros before hos, dude."
This bothered America. America had always been really proud of its relationship with The American
People. And that his friend felt this way made America confused and sad.
In the end America decided that his friend was right. After all, they'd been buddies for a lot
longer than Big Business had been around. So America started treating Corporations differently. He wouldn't return her calls. He stood her up on some dates, and when they did go out, he took her to restaurants he knew she didn't like.
At first this seemed great. America was getting his space. He was hanging out with The American People more. And that woman was learning her place. Unfortunately, she didn't like that place. Rumors began to circulate about Corporations running around with other guys, and apparently she had an affinity for Asian guys. Who would've thought?
Last I heard, America spends most of his time on his couch playing Halo or napping. Having lost his love, he's sunk into depression, or at least recession. The American People don't want to be seen with
such a whiny mess, so they're off doing their own thing. And Big Business seems happy with her suitors. But most people think if America could just get up and get itself back together, shed come running back. And the two could live happily ever after.
I hope America can find a way to foster and maintain a strong healthy relationship with Corporations without alienating or losing the respect of The American People, don't you?

》 LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Jayplay sex issue offends
As a graduate student who recently returned to school after a 31/2 year hiatus, I am appalled by the change that seems to have overtaken education institutions. This change is the encouraging of students to engage in promiscuous sex, through erotic images and articles printed in this school's newspaper.
The picture on the front of Jayplay (Feb. 8) was offensive. The material inside was equally offensive. Since when is it OK to have sex in the library? Since when should a school newspaper write about different positions to try during sex? The advertisements and articles seem to encourage licentious behavior. Today's newspaper desecrates that which is otherwise holy and beautiful.
Sexual intercourse was given as a way to express love between husband and wife and to bring children into the world. This act brings a couple closer together and is an important part of a healthy marriage. Sexual intercourse should be treated as something sacred, not casual.
》TALK TO US
Perhaps you and others on this campus will consider me out-of-touch and old-fashioned. However, I know I am not alone in my feelings on this matter. As a new lajayhawk, I call on this newspaper to stop encouraging lasciviousness by printing such offensive material.

Spears gets makeover
Pop star adds wrist tattoo to go with newly shaven head
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears appeared in a tattoo parlor in the San Fernando Valley with her head shaved completely bald.
Video on KABC-TV showed the newly shorn Spears with tiny tattoos on the back of her neck as she sits Friday night for a new tattoo — a pair of red and pink lips.
"She just wanted something real small on her wrist, something dainty." Max Gott, the tattoo artist at Body and Soul in Sherman Oaks, told the TV station. "She got some little lips on her wrist."
Derrik Snell, who works at the tattoo parlor, said Spears showed up without notice and stayed for about 90 minutes as about 60 fans, photographers and gawkers gathered outside.
"She seemed fine," Snell said. "I didn't really notice (the hairdo) at first, she had a hood on when she showed up."
Before heading to the tattoo parlor, Spears grabbed an electric clipper and shaved her own head at a San Fernando Valley salon Friday night, CNN reported.
"I tried to talk her out of it. I said, 'Are you sure you're not having a bad day and tomorrow you'll feel differently about it? Why don't we wait a little bit?'" salon owner Esther Tognozzi told the network.
"She said 'No, I absolutely want it shaved off now.' Next thing I know, she grabbed the buzzer and she went to the back of my salon and she was shaving off her own hair," Tognozi said.
The appearance came the same day as reports on TV and Web
sites that Spears, who has drawn criticism for her recent partying and sloppy behavior, had briefly checked into rehab.
Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager,
couldn't be reached for comment.
Syndicated entertainment TV show "Extra" first reported that Spears had entered a treatment facility. Celebrity Web site TMZ.com then said the singer had entered a treatment center but had checked out one day later. Neither revealed their sources.
People magazine's Web site, citing "a source," said Spears had gone in and out of rehab, and identified the facility as Eric Clapton's Crossroads center in Antigua, in the Caribbean.

James Gandolfini, Drew Brees highlights of Mardi Gras parade
BY BECKY BOHRER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — He was king for the day, and actor James Gandolfini ruled with a doublone-filled tist, pleasing the revelers who braved the cold for one of the highlights of Carnival — the rolling of the Krewe of Bacchus parade.
Sunday evening's parade outside the stars in the clear sky, as brightly-lit, double decker floats, torch carriers and machines that danced light off the oak trees along Napoleon Avenue captured the crowds attention.
In the midst of it were "The Sopranos" star Gandolfini and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, whose passage on separate, elaborate floats elicited cheers and chants of "To-ny!" and "Dreeeeww!!"
"I'm a Saints fan and a 'Sopranos' fan," Guthrie, 36, said after the float carrying Brees passed. "So it's a double-double this year with Bacchus."
Wearing a black derby hat, a
Gandolfini was a hit even before the parade began, mugging for pictures and signing autographs for fans gathered outside a bar.
white tunic over white tights and black knee-high boots, he threw doubloons — commemorative coins bearing his picture — to giddy spectators by the fistful.
The parade was one of several to roll through New Orleans on Sunday, and more were planned in the lead up to Fat Tuesday. Among those set for Monday; the Krewe of Orpheus, whose founders include singer and hometown boy Harry Connick Jr.
Each float Sunday prompted parade-goers, young and old, to wave their arms in the long-standing Carnival tradition and yell,
"Beeeeyee!" in an effort to get a riders' attention — and his or her beads.
Local officials see Mardi Gras as key to helping improve New Orleans' image following Hurricane Katrina and boost tourism in a city that relies heavily on the tourist trade. The signs of the 2005 storm are still obvious in parts of the city but largely unnoticeable to those who stay in the French Quarter and central business district.
One concern going into Carnival had been a rash of violent crime in recent months. After the end of the Bacchus parade about 10 p.m., a 15-year-old boy from the New Orleans suburb of Harvey was shot in the chest, said Sgt. Joe Narcissie, a police spokesman. He was taken to a hospital. Narcissie said police believe the youth was the victim of a targeted attack. No arrests were reported.
primarily busy with people being drunk in public or disturbing the peace, police said.
Chilly, breezy weather did little to deter Carnival revelers.
"Got some fire kicking," said Bryan Young, as he hunched over a grill along Napoleon Avenue, a main parade route, cooking hamburgers and sausages in the 40-something degree weather.
Michael and Missy Flynn brought relatives from Baltimore to watch the parades and found a place around 8 a.m. They said they were impressed with others who marked their territory by camping out overnight.
Michael Flynn, who said he had a table at home filled with beads, cups and other collectibles from Carnival, said he was having a blast: "I just love the shiny floats."
ENTERTAINMENT Actor Liotta arrested after hitting two parked cars
LOS ANGELES — Actor Ray Liotta was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after crashing his car into two parked vehicles in Pacific Palisades, authorities said.
Lliotta, 52, was taken into custody just before 8:30 p.m. Saturday and booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge, said Los Angeles Police spokesman Mike Lopez.
No one was injured in the collision. Liotta was alone in his car, Lopez said.
He was released after posting $15,000 bail and ordered to appear in court next month, Lopez said.
A message left at the office of Liotta's publicist Matt Labov was not immediately returned.
Liotta stars with Tim Allen and John Travolta in the buddy comedy "Wild Hogs" set for release March 2. He is best known for playing gangster Henry Hill in the 1990 movie "Goodfellas."

Darrell Arthur, freshman forward, jumps down from his dunk against Kansas State in Bramlage Coliseum Monday night. Arthur scored 13 points and had two assists against Kansas State.
MANHATTAN — Kansas State coach Bob Huggins wanted this one badly. He coached all night with emotion and passion that mirrored the crowds' intensity. Then in one instant, he may have cost the Wildcats the game, which ended with a 71-62 Jawhawk victory.
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
With seven minutes to play in a tightly contested battle, Huggins was whistled for a technical foul. The Jayhawks scored the next seven points and never looked back, keeping the Braslage bragging rights for the 24th consecutive year.
"I can't talk about the officiating." Huggins said when asked about the call.
Everything seemed to be going right for him. His Wildcats were controlling the pace of the game, playing a slow, methodical style that left the Jayhawks stuck in neutral. Kansas State also dominated from the field in the first half, hitting 5-for-12 from behind the three-point line, while the Jayhawks could muster just 2-for-11.
Things started to unravel, though, and that included more than just Huggins' temper.
The layhawks forced a fast pace on the game, which began to fatigue the Wildcats. Several missed free throws down the stretch left Huggins displeased, and then a close call underneath the basket triggered an outburst of language that left the Bible-belters scrambling for their earplugs that were given away at the game.
"I can't talk about the officiating." Huggins said when asked again.
The layhawks looked for a player to step up after Brandon Rush entered foul trouble. Rush notched his third爪 at the end

Murphy steps up offensive game for new season
BASEBALL
BY ALISSA BAUER
The home opener against North Dakota State was pushed back for the third time Monday. With yet another day to prepare for the layhawks' first home series, the team can continue to build on the success it has enjoyed so far in its 7-1 start.
Although the Presseason Big 12 Coaches' Poll voted Kansas to finish ninth in the conference, the layhawks have been dead set on proving their nay-sayers wrong. In their best start under coach Ritch Price, they have done just that early this season.
In their first eight games, the lajawhaks have outscored their opponents an overwhelming 54-15, proving that the offensive power Price predicted for the 2007 lineup did indeed return.
Juniors John Allman, outfielder, and Erik Morrison, infielder, led all returners based on offensive production last season. While they still pull their own weight — Allman is hitting a solid .375 while Morrison is second on the team with six RBIs — a new offensive force is emerging.

season. Murphy is making quite the impression on the Kansas lineup.
The season is young, but the starting centerfielder is hitting a cool 381 with a slugging percentage of 714
Murphy
Although Price said earlier this season that Murphy was one of the few guys he's coached that can win
a game with his glove, Murphy's reputation at the plate had a not-so-glamorous story.
"The difference between last year and this year is I'm just enjoying the game and the confidence I have in myself right now." Murphy said.
In 2006, Murphy wowed spectators with numerous catches in center, but hit just .153 on the season.
"He's nice to have out there, he's pretty quick," Allman said. "We joke around — it's a lot of fun having him out there."
While Allman has been a staple in left field for Kansas, Murphy is having to fill large shoes in center. That was previously the territory for Jayhawk captain and Big-All 26 team selection Matt Baty. During Baty's long recovery from injury last season, Murphy was called on to fill in, but still
That confidence shines in his play, and the smile in his voice makes a statement about how differently Murphy looks at the game this season. He said his serious nature he exuded last year has been replaced with a more relaxed

Collins Arthur extend win streak

MANHATTAN — Welcome to
The Streak, Sherron and Darrell.

The two freshmen combined for 33 points, off 15-for-18 shooting. But the most important part of their performance was they were the ones converting big baskets midway through the second half as Kansas extended its lead.
It's a record you had nothing to do with until Monday night,but you certainly played a big role in extending it.
With both sophomore guard Brandon Rush and sophomore forward Julian Wright struggling for most of the game, it was up to the freshman to keep Kansas' winning streak alive.
The freshmen had rarely both played well on the same night. For most of conference play, Arthur was absent, sitting on the bench in foul trouble. But in the last few games Arthur has finally started to become the type of post presence this team will need later in the season.
Arthur had arguably one of his most productive games this season. He finished the game with 13 points, off 5-for-7 shooting and also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds. More than half of Arthur's points came off rebounds.
The key, of course, to Arthur's play has been his ability to stay out of foul trouble. That was the main reason he wasn't seeing much playing time to start with. Against Kansas State, Arthur had just one foul, which is certainly a reason why he played 23 minutes. With Arthur in the game, Kansas adds yet another athletic post player.
"I thought he rebounded the ball like a man tonight," coach Bill Self said.
That type of variation in his game was to be expected though
Arthur was one of the post players that Self called "soft" just a month ago. Now, Arthur has put together two consecutive solid per formances and resembles the type of player Self expected to see all season.
"He's been a freshman," Self said. "He's had some great moments, some average moments."
Kansas' other highly touted freshman, Collins, continued his tear through the Big 12 Conference
Collins was just as consistent as he's been throughout conference play. He hit key three pointers as the Wildcats attempted to claw back into the game in the second half.
One of the keys for Collins has been his ability to get to the basket and make plays. He did that several times Monday, throwing up- and under shots that somehow found their way to the basket. Collins also continued his hot hand from behind the arc.
His biggest three came midway through the second half with the

MASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya, Colombia, gets his car serviced in the pits during the Daytona 500 race Sunday afternoon at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Fashionably finished 19th in the 43-car field.
Dramatic Daytona 500 finish stumps announcers
BY JIM LITKE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The first 150 laps of the Daytona 500 was like watching drivers circle the lot at the grocery store politely waiting for parking spots to open up.
Then the sun went down, a full moon popped up and everybody started behaving like the Wolfman — suddenly in a hurry and only too eager to mix it up.
The last 50 laps featured five wrecks, all involving multiple cars, and small wonder. There was no rooibat. With three dozen circuits left, the top 20 were separated by a second. With six laps to go, the field was as tightly packed as it was at the start.
At the finish, as car parts, smoke and sparks flew through the air behind them like the climactic chase scene from "The Road Warrior," Kevin Harvick and Mark Martin were racing side by side at around 200 mph separated by the length of a car hood. Seconds later, providing a perfect exclamation point, Clint Boyer skidged across the line with his car upside down — and on fire.
The guys calling the race on Fox, with decades of NASCAR experience between them, scoured their collective memory banks to come up with an ending nearly this wild.
One nominated the 1979 Daytona 500, when Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison battled on the final lap, spun into the infield, started throwing insults and then punches
Grand as that race was, driver-turned-broadcaster Darrrell Waltrip came up with an even better one.
as Allison's brother, Bobby, pulled over and joined the fray. Richard Petty made up a half-lap deficit and snuck across the finish line.
"This finish," he said, recalling last year's NASCAR-inspired hit comedy, "It's 'Ricky Bobby'. It couldn't have been any better."
Martin, the sentimental favorite, was trying to win his first Daytona title in 23 tries.
"Wildest thing I've been part of",
Harvick said after officials posted
his margin of victory at .020 seconds,
"in a long time."
Nor better-timed.
"We were inches or feet or what ever. We were short. It was so close," he said finally, "but it was second."

Jayhawks promote two assistant coaches
Mark Mangino did not look far to fill two assistant coaching vacancies. Last Thursday Mangino announced that Je'Ney Jackson will become the cornerbacks coach and Tim Beck will step into the role of passing game coordinator.
Jackson, who served as Kansas' strength and conditioning coach for the past two years, takes over a largely untested group of corner-backs. Junior Aqib Talib was an All-Big 12 Conference selection last
season, but sophomore Anthony Webb and junior Raymond Brown have yet to prove themselves.
On the offensive side, Beck will continue to coach the team's wide receivers, but will also take more responsibility over the passing game. Coupled with the addition of offensive coordinator Ed Warinner, Beck's promotion means changes in the offensive game plan could be in order next season.
The Jayhawks begin spring workouts March 14. The annual spring game is scheduled for April 15.

Big 12 tourney prospects are low
Basketball teams must play tougher teams to get bids
Big 12 coaches and officials might be disappointed on March 11. That is the date of "Selection Sunday," and judging by the Rating Percentage Index or RPL, currently only two Big 12 Conference teams are locks for the tournament.
Teams with RPI's of 40 or lower are considered to have an argument for selection to the tournament. The Big 12 had four teams before last night's games with RPI's in that range. Texas A&M leads the conference with an RPI of 14 while Kansas has an RPI of 17. The other four teams who have been making cases for invitations to the Big Dare are Oklahoma State at 36, Texas Tech at 40, Texas, at 45, and Kansas State at 50.
None of those teams are near the level of being a lock to make the tournament and must make strides during the remainder of the season to impress the selection committee.
Once again, the Big 12 Conference is down. Of the six major conferences in America, the Big 12 ranks last in conference RPI and trailed the Missouri Valley for most of the season in that ranking.
BY RYAN COLAIANNI
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST

M. VINCENT HARRIS
The solution to improving this "trend" for the Big 12 is bulking up in the non-conference schedule. Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg needs to sit down with the coaches
and athletics directors of all schools in the conference and press them to schedule more challenging non-conference games. The conference challenge with the Pacific 10 that begins next season will certainly help, but teams need more than one challenging game against major conference foes to make better arguments in March.
Not only will scheduling tougher games in November and December help teams make the tournament, but it will also help teams be better prepared for the NCAA tournament when they face superior talent.
Look at Kansas State's non-conference schedule. Sure the 'Cats defeated now ranked USC, but their other victories were against unranked teams like Kennesaw State and Maryland Eastern Shore. Those games are RPI killers and certainly did little to help prepare Kansas State for conference or tournament play.
The sad thing is, Kansas State's

schedule is not even the worst of the teams fighting for invitations to the NCAA tournament. Oklahoma State got a solid win over Pittsburgh in late December but also ganged up on Southwestern Oklahoma State and Texas A&M Corpus Christi among others.

The Big 12 still has a chance to get five teams into the tournament, but it is going to be difficult. The teams that have struggled could continue to play their way out of the tournament, like Oklahoma State is doing right now. If that happens, the Big 12 could have only three or four teams in the tournament, an embarrassment for what is supposed to be a major conference.

After an appropriately decadent performance featuring acrobats, a juggler, Elvis impersonators and the usual All-Star hijinks from 24 NBA stars, Bryant emerged as the game's best player in front of the southern Nevada fans who adopt the Lakers as their team.
With the crowd chanting "M-V-P" in the final minute, Bryant roared through the lane and threw down a vicious dunk over Chris Bosh's head.
By Sunday night, the glorified exhibition was all that remained — and the NBAs biggest stars rolled through a fairly nondescript contest featuring plenty of points and almost no defense. Some things don't change, even in Vegas.
"No doubt about it, we definitely enjoyed Las Vegas," said Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire, who had 29 points and nine rebounds. "I hope the All-Star game comes back here soon, because it was a lot of fun."
The weekend heated up Saturday when Boston's Gerald Green won the dunk contest with a much-needed injection of originality, and Miami's Jason Kapono was crowned the top 3-point shooter with a record-tying final performance.
weekend will be remembered for its setting — the first All-Star game outside an NBA franchise city, and the first with a flock of bedazed showgirls flanking Wayne Newton for a pregame rendition of "Viva Las Vegas."
Most everybody knew the real show went on in the dozens of casinos and hundreds of clubs around the Las Vegas Strip, where athletes, celebrities, groupies, entourages and old-fashioned basketball fans partied the weekend away in a hip-hop hoop summit.

All-Star game draws league's best to Sin City
>> NBA
LAS VEGAS — From Kobe Bryant to the last blackjack dealer, everybody believed the NBA was a big winner after gambling on a 72-hour All-Star extravaganza in Sin City.
Nobody throws a party like Vegas, and everyone who played in Sunday's grand finale seemed eager to come back to the desert soon.
Sure, the main event was a bit of a bust, but the All-Star game is always a crashhoot.
Bryant had 31 points, six assists and six steals in his second MVP performance at the league's midseason showcase, and the West set All-Star records for assists and field goals in a 153-132 win over the East on Sunday night.
Nobody could bet on this game in the local casinos — the favored West covered the 4 1/2 point spread — making the result even more inconsequential than usual. Instead, we outlandish

MANHATTAN — It's no longer a surprise.
Michael Phillips and Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
Sherron Collins has showcased his excellence so many times this season that seeing it in big games is a given.
The Jayhawks capitalized on second chances inside the paint, scoring 13 points to the Wildcats four. After struggling from three-point land early, the Jayhawks regrouped in the second half and finished with 24 percent from behind the arc. The Wildcats started hot and finished slow, finishing at 35 percent. Shot chart information compiled by K-State Athletics.
"The more the pressure, the more he likes it," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He's a tough cat."
Collins, a freshman guard, led Kansas down the stretch in its 71-62 victory against Kansas State.
With Brandon Rush in foul trouble and Julian Wright non-existent in the stat sheet, someone needed to step up.
Like he did in home games against Missouri and Texas A&M earlier this year, Collins' star shone when the spotlight shined the brightest. Whenever his team needed a basket in the first and second halves, he answered its call.
With just under 12 minutes left in the second half, no one could score for the Jayhawks. The Wildcats had just tied the game at 43, and Kansas needed a lift. Collins had no trouble providing one.
"It was my teammates finding me and getting good screens set for me," Collins said. "It was just a team effort."
He nailed a three-pointer from the top of the key and skipped
his chest to pump the team up. a couple of possessions later he found a hole in K-State's defense, drove through it and threaded a pass to freshman forward Darrell Arthur, who scored to extend Kansas' lead to five.
He wasn't done yet. Collins made another three-pointer to stretch his team's lead to eight. Then he drove to the hoop three possessions in a row, scoring or drawing fouls on each one.
"If you get on his side, he's not going to let you back." Kansas State coach Huggins said. "Once he puts you on his hip, he'll get any shot he wants."
Collins' variety of skills gives him the power to be a difference maker for the Jayhawks. In Monday's game alone, he dribbed the length of the court for transition layups twice, penetrated and scored, penetrated and passed, pulled-up for jumpers and connected on two three-pointers.
This performance and his other impressive ones in conference play show that Collins is not showing any signs of slowing down. The freshman wall that acts as a barrier for most rookies isn't affecting him
"He just working hard on everything," sophomore guard Mario Chalmers said. "He's just getting extra work and staying focused. I
Besides, Collins provides a spark for the laywhacks off the bench. He still gets plenty of minutes — he had 31 on Monday — which is more than enough time to lead his team during crucial situations.
think that's a key for him."
And more than enough time to make a case to be mentioned as one of the nation's ton guards.
"There's a lot of great freshmen point guards out there, but I don't know if there's a lot playing better than this guy," Self said. "He's playing at a pretty high level now"
"Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers are both like big brothers to me," Collins said. "As a team you don't want to mess something up. I'd rather just go for the same starting lineup all year. I don't care if I start or not."
With Collins shredding opposing defenses on a regular basis, it seems likely that he, now the team's sixth man, could become a starter. Self approached Collins about it and told him that he deserved to start. Collins said he knew it, but he didn't want to screw up team chemistry.

Arthur
He didn't need to worry. Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers and freshman forward Darrell Arthur picked up his slack in the first half, and freshman guard Sherron Collins came up big in the second half.
Freshman forward Darrell Arthur had a double-double on the night with 13 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks.
"We gave them too many second chances!" Huggins said. "They're good, and we didn't do enough things to win."
The jayhawks dominated the boards, collecting rebound after rebound even when their shooting touch was off.
"Mario kept us in the game during the first half with his offensive presence," Rush said.
Doing enough may be the best description of how the layhawks were able to leave victorious. They didn't want to be dragged into a physical game, but that's what happened, and coach Bill Self said his team was better for it.
"It was a grind-it-out game at times," he said. "We're a finesse team, and we needed a grind-it-out game."
He had been preparing his team for it all week, allowing the practice team defense more leeway on fouls to

What remained to be seen was how the Jayhawks would handle the rowdiest crowd in Bramlage Coliseum history. They passed the test easily, tuning out the distracting noise around them that never seemed to end, even during time-outs.
"Thank you," he said, "Thank you so much."
The crowd became hostile near the end, but other than a few thrown newspapers, it didn't get too out of hand. After the game, Huggins spoke briefly to his team in the locker room before returning to the court. About 500 fans, mostly students, remained. They greeted him with a standing ovation. The coach took a deep breath, then acknowledged the people who helped bring intensity back to the rivalry with their boisterousness on Monday night.

game tied at 43, he answered a three-pointer by Kansas State's Lance Harris. After that, the Wildcats never got any closer.
"Sherron was on a roll tonight," Self said. "He was our best player tonight."
On a night where Kansas State had guaranteed victory, the freshmen wouldn't let the black-clad faithful have any of it.
With Kansas' usual scoring threats mostly absent, Collins and Arthur's performances will certainly go down in Allen Fieldhouse West lore.

The tradition of throwing live chickens onto the court, which had taken a couple years off, resumed before introductions Wednesday night. The "chickenhawks" were promptly captured and removed from the arena.
"》 Say what you will about Kansas State fans, but the atmosphere in Bramlage Coliseum on Monday night was very impressive. The "blackout" worked, with everyone in the crowd wearing the color, and even the alums stood for a large part of the game. The noise level wasn't what you'd get in the Field-house, but still very loud for a place that used to be filled with Jayhawk fans. There were hardly any to be found on Monday.
A double technical against
Russell Robinson and Cartier Martin in the second half was an attempt by the referees to instill order into the game without impacting the score in any way. Kudos to the officials for not becoming the show, but still managing to regulate it.
>>> Bob Huggins did something that Bill Self has so far been unable to do. Former Mr. Jessica Simpson and teen-heartbrob Nick Lachey appeared on the video board with a taped message to fans before the game.
>>> A strong effort by the K-State students, who appear to have put their entire academic muscle behind Monday's sign-making effort. Some examples included "Tim Hardaway hates KU,""Spoon Sucks,""Lack of institutional control,"and one in
Russian — we're guessing it had a message for Sasha Kaun.
» Sherron "Big Game" Collins showed up again Monday night. The freshman guard has been sensational in conference play this year, and Self didn't hesitate to use him for a large portion of the game. Don't read into the fact that he's not a starter: what matters is who finishes the game.
Live by the three, die by the three. Kansas State is the type of team that nobody wants to play in March, because when they have a hot night, they're going to be able to hang with anybody in the country. However, when the shot goes cold, it's going to be tough for the Wildcats to win.

Former Reds catcher
takes position with Royals
SURPRISE, Ariz. — There is competition for Kansas City's starting catching job this spring training after the Royals acquired Jason LaRue in an offseason trade.
LaRue welcomed the trade from the Reds to the Royals, where he has an opportunity to again start. He said he anticipated being traded.
LaRue was the No. 1, catcher for Cincinnati from 2001-2005, but lost his starting job to David Ross after he had knee surgery during spring training last year.
John Buck has been Kansas City's starting catcher for the past 21/2 seasons, but with the acquisition of LaRue, there are no guarantees he'll be the starter when the season rolls around.
"I like them both." Royals manager Buddy Bell said. "Our catching situation is in good hands with either one of them."

had that stigma of holding a backup role.
"Kyle's always had that talent — he's had that confidence," Allman said. "Now he's just out there playing hard. People are feeding off him."
"It's definitely a factor," Murphy said of his ability to relax without the difficulty of competing with Baty. "I'm a little more free to play the game. It kind of takes the monkey off your back."
However, Murphy said the competition and talent pushing him has had a huge beneficial impact on his game. Current teammates like fellow outfielder Casey Larson also push him to be his best and continue the hot streak he has started. In the meantime, Allman and company are getting used to trusting a new starter in center.
No matter what success he's gathered, Murphy knows it took a lot of learning and hard work to get there. Now as a veteran junior college transfer, as Murphy is able to offer advice to this season's five JuCo transfers.
"It's definitely a quicker game, but you have to go out there and still enjoy yourself," Murphy said. "You can't get that tunnel vision of making the game too serious. That'd be the advice I'd give them — play the game you were playing at JaCo and still have the fun you were having at junior college."
As his team prepares for its first doubleheader at home today at 3 p.m., the Beloit, Wis. native is practicing what he preaches.
"I think the main goal for me is just being able to go out and play the game and enjoy myself. That's really been the key to my success so far this season."

Brady's ex-girlfriend pregnant
BY MARK JEWELL ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Actress Bridget Moynahan, former girlfriend of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, is pregnant and Brady is the father. Moynahan's publicist said Monday.
The glamorous pair split up late last year after a three-year relationship. Brady, a two-time Bowl MVP, has since been seen with lingerie model Gisele Bundchen, and media outlets have reported the two are dating.
On Monday, Moynahan's publicist, Christina Papadopoulos, said in a statement to The Associated Press that the actress "is over three months pregnant. Former boyfriend Tom Brady is the father."
A Dec.15 statement by Moynahan's publicist said Moynahan and Brady parted ways several weeks earlier.
"Privacy and consideration is appreciated at this time," the statement said. "No further comments will be made"
The pregnancy was first reported by the New York Post on Sunday. The Post quoted Papadopoulos as saying the actress was feeling "healthy and excited"
Messages left by The Associated Press with Brady's agent, Donald Yee, were not returned Monday.
Patriots spokesman Stacey James told the AP: "I think it would be inappropriate to comment."

No. 2 Tennessee defeats
No. 7 LSU in close matchu
BATON ROUGE, La. — Candace Parker had 27 points and 13 rebounds to help No. 2 Tennessee hold off seventh-ranked LSU for a 56-51 Victory Monday night.
Tennessee never trailed, but LSU tied the game at 51 on Sylvia
Fowles' free throws with 1:21 to go.
Parker put Tennessee back ahead with a free throw after she was fouled on a crucial offensive rebound. Then Shannon Bobbitt made a pair of foul shots after Sidney Spencer's seventh offensive rebound, and Tennessee's 20th, to preserve the decisive possession for the Lady Vols (25-2, 12-0 Southeastern Conference).
Bobbitt finished with 13 points, including three 3-pointers, for Tennessee, which has won eight straight since a 74-70 loss to No. 1 Duke.
Fowles had 18 points and 16 rebounds for LSU (23-5, 9-3), which has lost two straight at home since No. 3 Connecticut snapped the Lady Tigers' 43-game home winning streak that dated to February of 2004.

Wisconsin, Ohio State fight for lead in Big Ten Conference
Get ready for another 1 vs. 2 showdown in the Big Ten — this time on the hardwood.
Wisconsin was the new No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll on Monday and Big Ten rival Ohio State was not far behind at No. 2.
The Badgers (26-2, 12-1), on top of the poll for the first time in school history, play the Buckeyes (24-3, 12-1) in Columbus on Sunday — just a bit more than three months after Ohio State and Michigan played a much-hyped 1 vs. 2 football game at Ohio Stadium.
Florida's 83-70 loss at Vanderbilt on Saturday snapped the Gators' 17-game winning streak and dropped them from the top spot in the media poll for the second time this season.
Wisconsin, which was No. 3 last week, leapfrogged second-ranked Ohio State to become the fourth No. 1 team this season, and 52nd different school to hold the top spot in the history of the AP poll.
For the Badgers and coach Bo Ryan, there's not much time to celebrate their new lotty status, not with a game at Michigan State on Tuesday.
So Ryan held his own 60 second celebration at home, with a big foam "We're No. 1" finger he took from his kids, a party favor and a handful of paper torn into confetti.
"I ran around with the foam finger, blowing the horn and throwing the contetti for about a minute." Ryan said with a laugh. "Then I went back into my office and watched the DVD of a very good Iowa team losing by 30 to Michigan State."
The Badgers received 35 first-place votes and 1,747 points. Ohio State got 31 first-place votes and 1,728 points. No. 3 Florida received four first-place votes and No. 4 UCLA got two.
"I'm really happy for the players and the university," Ryan said. "It says something about the work that's been put in, not just this year but over the years. That's the reward.
"It does make a great statement for the program."
For the Big Ten, it's the second time the league best known for its football has had the top two teams in the AP basketball poll. Michigan was No. 1 and Indiana No. 2 on Nov. 30, 1992.
The last time the same conference had Nos. 1 and 2 was last season, when the Big East had Connecticut at No. 1 and Villanova No. 2 in the second-to-last poll.

Alando Tucker, who has seven consecutive 20-point games and is a leading candidate for national player of the year, and the Badgers defeated Ohio State 72-69 last month in Madison.
The bottom of the rankings received a major shake-up as teams ranked 18-25 last week went 3-13.
The Badgers and Buckeyes will not only be playing for the No.1 ranking Sunday, but also for the inside track to a Big Ten regular-season title.

Memphis, Texas A&M,
Washington State and Pittsburgh rounded out the top 10.
Vanderbilt, Texas, Louisville, BYU and Virginia also moved into the Top 25. For Louisville, which beat two ranked teams — Pittsburgh and Marquette — on the road, and BYU, it's the first time this season they been ranked. The Cougars haven't been in the Top 25 since March 1993.
But last week Duke beat Boston College on the road and Georgia Tech at home and the voters rewarded the Blue Devils.
Dropping out were Oklahoma State, Kentucky, Boston College, Indiana and Southern California.
"If there is a player who was ever responsible for his team being ranked No. 1, it's Alando Tucker," Ryan said. "If there is an MVP, it's him."
The Badgers started the season ranked ninth, dipped to
12th and have been on the rise ever since. An experienced team that starts three seniors and two juniors, Wisconsin has already set a school record for victories in a season.
"It's not a bunch of McDonald's All-Americans and five-star recruits," Ryan said. "It's a bunch of guys who paid their dues. This year has been the culmination of a lot of hard work."
The Buckeyes have been in the top 10 all season thanks to one of the best freshmen classes in the country.

Seven-footer Greg Oden leads the team in scoring (15.3) and rebounding (9.5) and is shooting 61 percent from the field with 71 blocked shots in 20 games. Fellow freshmen Mike Conley Jr. (10.1) and Daequan Cook (11.9) combine to average 22 points per game.
Rule raises concerns for college coaches
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The new rule that says players must be at least one year removed from high school before entering the NBA is "the worst thing that's happened to college basketball since I've been coaching" says Texas tech coach Bob Knight.
In the Big 12, it might be called the Kevin Durant Rule after the Longhorn freshman who has electrified the entire country and leads the conference in both scoring and rebounding.
Instituted last year by the NBA, it means that super-talented players must wait at least a year rather than jumping into the pros right out of high school.
Many coaches have hailed this new approach as a blessing for the college game, because it lets NCAA schools showcase their abilities at least for one season.
But Knight, the winningest college coach of all time, said he deplores it.
sports."
"Because now you can have a kid come to school for a year and play basketball and he doesn't even have to go to class." Knight said Monday during the Big 12 coaches call. "He certainly doesn't have to go to class the second semester. I'm not exactly positive about the first semester. But he would not have to attend a single class the second semester to play through the whole second semester of basketball.
"That, I think, has a tremendous effect on the integrity of college
No player better exemplifies the new rule than Durant.
Amazingly quick, agile and athletic for an 18-year-old, the 6-foot-9 Durant would have been a surefire NBA lottery pick any other year. But he had to find a college to play for. He chose Texas and perhaps will be remembered as the greatest to ever wear a Longhorns uniform, even though he seems likely to vault into the NBA after a sensational freshman season.
He has been named Big 12 player of the week three times and conference rookie of the week five times. He leads the league with 24.9 points and 11.4 rebounds per game and has a good chance at being national player of the year.
Knight said he would never
have recruited Durant, although he doesn't blame Texas coach Rick Barnes for doing so. "I don't fault those that have, because it within the rules," Knight said. "But the rules are just ridiculous, the way the thing is set up."
"It's just a tremendous disservice, the way that it's structured, to the integrity of college sports."
Barnes, who did not hear what Knight said earlier on the Big 12 coaches call, said he did not recruit Durant as a one-semester student.
"All we've ever said is if we recruit a player and that player said to us. 'I'm coming to school for one year and as soon as basketball season is over with I'm dropping out of school,' we would not recruit that player," he said.
Ever think about:
"We cannot afford to jeopardize our program in that way. We want players that if they're going to come, we want them committed to a whole year academically. We tell them that's what's expected coming in."

Algae to blame for foul taste, smell of tap water
BY DANAE DESHAZER
When Ashley Moore moved to Lawrence three years ago, she noticed a problem with the tap water.
"It's almost salty, but it really smells like fish," Moore, Paola sophomore, said. "Every time I drink it straight from the tap, it hurts my stomach."
Last summer, researchers for the Kansas Biological Survey sampled water in five Kansas reservoirs, including Clinton Lake, and found higher levels of a compound called geosim, which could cause drinking water to taste and smell bad.
“It’s got a musky or earthy taste and kind of smells like the lake,” said
Andy Dzialowski, research associate for the Kansas Biological Survey. "It's totally harmless. It can't hurt you, but people don't really appreciate it."
When blue-green algae forms in the water, and then dies, it creates geosmin.
In December 2006, Lawrence experienced an increase of taste and odor problems in its water.
The water treatment division in the Lawrence area operates under
Paul Leichti, assistant director of Kansas Biological Survey, said that this was when residents and plant workers started complaining about an odor in the water.

nose can detect a geosmin smell and taste at as little as 10 parts per trillion.
Lawrence hasn't seen this high of geosmin level since 1995. Dziadowski said that the blue-green algae typically blooms during the summer, but the increase this past winter was due to a different environment condition, influenced by temperature and climate change. Leichi said low rainfall, land usage, and farm fertilizers in the area also influenced it.
Scientists from Kansas Biological Survey went to Clinton to examine the water, and found goosmin levels of 30 parts per trillion. A human
Dizalowski predicts that the high levels have decreased since December, but does not know for sure. He said no matter where the water comes from, there is bound to be a whole suite of
problems. Residents will battle those problems in their own way.
Kylee Wright, Topek jumai, said at Miller scholarship hall, they used water filters on the faucets because of the poor water quality.
"Our drinking fountains are really gross. You can taste the minerals, and it's cloudy." Wright said.
She sometimes drinks out of the fountain because she said, "it doesn't kill me."

SUA gets students involved in Hip-Hop Week by encouraging graffiti art
BY BETHANY BUNCH
Hip-hop music, freestyle rapping and the fumes of spray paint brought out the artistic side of students yesterday afternoon on Wescoe beach.
Three double-sided nine foot tall canvases and 15 cans of spray paint were available to both talented and beginner artists. The graffiti wall was part of Student Union Activities Hip-Hop Week.

going on and to spray his initials

of experience with graffiti art, but
didn't consider himself a graffiti artist anymore.
Stephanie Altoro, Prairie Village sophomore, is the cultural arts coordinator for SUA. She said her committee started working on Hip-Hop Week last summer.
"We know graffiti has negative connotations but want to show that it's an art form and part of hip-hop culture."
This is the first year for the celebration at the University.
"I spray painted my elementary school," Teli said. "I got in a lot of trouble. It was beautiful thought."
"We wanted to bring Hip-Hop Week to KU because hip-hop is a genre that isn't spoken for here." Altoro said.

Altoro said the events are based off a similar Hop-Hop Week at Ohio
Destiny Boutchee, Los Angeles junior, painted flags and names of her friends on a crowded canvas. She said she had experience with graffiti from high school.
Boutchee said she thought graffiti represented hip-hop because it is often seen in cities.
Altoro and other SUA volunteers joked as they set up the canvases that they were going to burn them that night.
"I used to be a graffiti artist," Boutchee said. "But not anymore."
"It's an urban way to express yourself," she said. "Negative or positive."
"They are just a pain to build," Altoro said.
The canvases will be used instead as decoration at a hip-hop dance battle Saturday. The event will bring dance troops to compete at 9 p.m. at the Ballroom in the Kansas Union.

Student pharmacists raise issues at state capitol
HEALTH FAIR
BY JOSEPH HUNT
The Academy of Student Pharmacists put on its annual Pharmacy Health Fair in the State Capitol Building on Tuesday. Every year the fair is put on in the Union in the fall and the State Capitol in the spring.
Amber Wanklyn, president of the KU Academy of Student Pharmacists, said that the students hoped to raise awareness of KU pharmacy issues to state legislators.
In Kansas immunizations can only be given by licensed pharmacists that have graduated college, and even though students can be certified to give immunizations, they cannot actually do so, Sasha Sosa said.

"Right now there's a bill going to the state senate that would allow students to give immunizations," Wanklyn said. "We're hoping that goes through."
Sosa, Emporia junior, said that it was frustrating to not be able to give
immunizations.
"If we're taught how to do it right we should be able to it." Sosa said.
At the fair the student pharmacists tested for blood pressure, cholesterol, bone density, blood glucose and body fat free of charge. They also informed people of health concerns such as depression.
Kirsten Peterson, Olathe graduate student, said that it was busier this year than previous years, because of a large group of AARP members.

Employees look for recognition Unclassified staff visit legislature
BY NATHAN GILL
On Feb. 13, eleven unclassified staff members at the University of Kansas took the day off. But instead of a relaxing vacation day, they drove to Topeka to meet with Kansas legislators.
The University's unclassified staff — little known though they number about 2,000 — have been using vacation days for their yearly legislative visit for the past five years. This year, they traveled to Topeka to raise awareness about who unclassified staff are and voice concerns about deferred maintenance.
"We're not faculty, we don't get tenure, but we have professional degrees." O'Connor said.
Jason O'Connor, Unclassified Senate president, said many people did not know who unclassified staff were or what they did.
Unclassified staff serve the University in research, administrative, academic and student services positions. They work in the provost's office, have positions in student housing, are career and academic advisors and are technical and research specialists. According to Unclassified Senate information, 61 percent of the University's unclassified staff have at least a master's degree.
Paul Farran, a support specialist in academic technology services, was one of the eleven who visited with legislators. He said one of the main objectives of the visit was to help legislators understand the difference between the University's classified and unclassified staff.
The University's classified staff called university support staff since 2005 include clerical workers, administrative assistants, maintenance workers and technicians.
O'Connor said the University's deferred maintenance was a top priority for unclassified staff. He said that unclassified staff work all over campus and realize that many buildings need repairs. He also said it was sometimes embarrassing to give campus tours to prospective students and faculty.
"We do lose staff to other locations because of those issues," OConnor said. He later said, "This is our campus, we care about it. We don't want it to fall apart."

Who's Who at KU
BY RACHEL BURCHFIELD
This Thursday, you might not find Mark Skoglund in class. Instead, the Olathe sophomore hopes to drive to Topeka to lobby for Kansas' decreased economic involvement in Sudan, one of the many issues that the globally conscious Skoglund is
passionate about.
"Issues overseas are more hard hitting but also more ignored at the same time," he said. "I like to try to bring more attention to things."
Threats, at the University. Skoglund has a platform to bring more attention to issues that he is passionate about, such as decreased economic involvement in Sudan and genocide activism through FIGHT. The club holds biweekly meetings that base around the three pillars of awareness, activism, and aid.
He is able to do so as the president of FIGHT, a club whose name is an acronym that stands for Fighting Ignorance of Global Humanitarian
Skoglund was a nationally ranked debater placing fourth individually in the national competition and helping his squad to a 15th place finish as a senior at Olathe South High School. The triple major in political science, economics and philosophy is also an "obsessive compulsive poker player" who will "play online, in person, and in just about any denomination.

In the future he hopes to attend graduate school to pursue his interest in foreign relations. Skoglund sees himself eventually working for a major government institution or think tank "doing foreign relations analysis of other countries in the human rights arena", he said.
Skoglund is already becoming well versed in the global human rights arena through his involvement in FIGHT, and he wants others on campus to do the same.
"I want people to be more aware of what's going on, and not just on the day-to-day local or national level," he said. "In general, I just want people to be more informed."

》 STUDENT SENATE
Control of funds under revision
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Last spring, students passed a referendum allowing a $1.50 increase in the Student Senate Activity Fee to establish the Multicultural Education Fund. Less than a year after its approval, changes are being sought.
The fund allows Student Senate to finance student groups in a way that is not allowed from other

This allows groups to receive up to 25 percent more funding than previously offered, said Studie Red Corn, Shawnee junior and First Nations Student Association senator.

"Finance doesn't look at the MEF portion and MEF doesn't look at the finance portion, but they need to look at each other to make sure the group gets funding," Boots said.

Moving the fund to MRC control would allow for better distribution of funds to multicultural groups.
"The MRC has a better view of what a multicultural group is than Student Senate." Horen said.

"Currently these groups haven't always taken advantage of what the MRC has to offer." Red Corn said.

Latino summit encourages college education
MULTICULTURALISM
BY KATY BLAIR
Elias Garcia said the 43-million Latinos in America were known as "the sleeping giant," but there was no sleeping for Latino high school students Tuesday.
"There are no victims in this room; therefore, there should be no excuses. You need to go out there and get the job done."
The annual Latino Leadership Summit was held Tuesday in the Kansas Union. Latino high school students from across Kansas gathered at the event to discuss empowerment and education.
Garcia, executive director of the Kansas Hispanic and Latino American Affairs Commission, incited thoughtful silence during lunch with his take on the importance of Latinos entering higher education and beyond.
The keynote speaker, Eva Vega, a
New York University diversity educator, said she was impressed with the University's proactive stance on getting more Latinos into higher education.
"What KU is doing is cutting edge," Vega said. "Through this summit, they are focusing on a pipeline and getting students to college. No one else is doing that."
During the one-day summit, students attended workshops where educators, such as Vega, stressed the importance of overcoming challenges associated with higher education. Aida Garcia, Office of Multicultural Affairs program assistant, said these challenges varied for each Latino family, but more often it was a lack of information about post-secondary education. A language barrier, immigration status and financial situation also tied into the low rate of Latinos reaching higher education.
Mexican girls becoming pregnant and not caring about school were harmful stereotypes discussed during the Female Leadership work shop.
Vega said that these assumptions could be true for any ethnicity, but it caused unwelcome feelings in American society toward Latinos. The summit approached these issues and encouraged Latino students to think positively, no matter the circumstance.
"We've learned to step up and step out." Ludys Velasquez, Olathe North High school student said. "The information about being a Latino in college is helpful. It makes sure you know where you're going."
Students at the summit were familiar with these tactics because of high school programs that also encouraged them to consider attending college.
Velasquez and some of her classmates are involved in Achievement Via Individual Determination at Olathe North. Students in the program are exposed to higher-level
and Advanced Placement courses. They also learned study and organizational skills to ensure their success during post-secondary educational endeavors.
Kasey Stadler, Social Studies and English as a Second Language teacher at Olathe North, said the summit was a great opportunity for high school students.
"It itt them exposure to the university setting." Stadler said. "If they see students at the university level, they think that they can do it as well. Itt them out of their bubble."
Sigma Lambda Beta and Sigma Lambda Gamma performed during lunch, encouraging students to consider Greek life when they enter college.

New Web site promotes health education
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Watkins Memorial Health Center sponsored the creation of a new Web site specifically designed to promote body acceptance, healthy eating habits and fitness in KU students.
The site, hawkhealth ku.edu, went live last week, and featured interactive quizzes, video feeds and downloadable podcasts.
Ann Chapman, coordinator of nutrition services, said there were many ways students could access health information, but the Web site offered information all in one place.
"It's like one-stop shopping," Chapman said.
have a sexually transmitted disease or if they have an eating disorder The site offers students more confidentiality than visiting a health center on their own.
The Web site includes in-depth quizzes that can offer students answers if they think they might
"The site is designed for students to get questions answered on their own time and in the privacy of their own homes." Agan said.
Matt Agan, health educator for Student Health Services, said the Web site did not save IP addresses or show if a student had used the links before. He said no one would know what quizzes a student took, or their answers.
The Web site was a second initiative by Healthy Options for Movement, Exercise, Body Acceptance and Savvy Eating, or H.O.M.E.B.A.S.E., a task force created in 2001 to provide ongoing
health education for KU students. Chapman, task force coordinator, said that the Better Bites menu for dining services was the first initiative, which created healthier eating options for students.
"I never ran across a student that was satisfied with their body," Chapman said. "We wanted them to like their bodies and treat them with love and respect."
Agan said to prepare for the site's creation; he accessed many other campus Web sites. He said other sites offered Q&A and articles, but the New Hawk Website site offered more
"The podcasts and assessments are two of the main differences that we are particularly proud of," Agan said. "They are the main items that make our site unique from others."
Right now, two videos are available for download. One features basic yoga techniques, and the other has a KU trainer's abdominal exercise. Agan said students could download these to their iPod and could use them while working out at the gym.
Mai Do, marketing coordinator of Student Health Services, said the Hawk Health site would allow students to explore the events sponsored by the Wellness Resource Center. The site will feature Celebrate Every Body Week from Feb. 26 to March 2, which will focus on body acceptance.

Iran to negotiate uranium program
BY GEORGE JAHN ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA, Austria — Iran's chief nuclear envoy said Tuesday his country wants to negotiate over its uranium enrichment program, on the eve of a U.N. Security Council deadline that carries the threat of harsher sanctions, but the country's hard-line president said Iran will halt enrichment only if Western nations do the same.
Sanctions could be triggered by a report from Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, to his agency's 35 board member nations, expected Wednesday. That report is expected to say Iran has expanded enrichment activities instead of freezing them.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking to a crowd of thousands in Iran, said his country was ready to stop its enrichment program, but only

of the West, Iran's call for talks — voiced separately on Tuesday by Ahmadinejad, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki and senior nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani — suggested an attempt to convey flexibility on the eve of the deadline.
Mottaki, in Turkey, said talks on the nuclear dispute should try to achieve an agreement allowing "Tran to achieve its rights" while eliminating "concerns" about its nuclear ambitions. Larijani, in Vienna, said his country was "looking for ways and means to start negotiations."
But the officials did not offer what the Security Council is demanding
— an immediate and unconditional stop to enrichment. Iran has long insisted that it will not stop its nuclear activities as a condition for negotiations to start.

Company suspends lobbying efforts for vaccine
BY LINDA A. JOHNSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TRENTON, N.J. - Merck & Co. bowing to pressure from parents and medical groups, is immediately suspending its lobbying campaign to persuade state legislatures to mandate that adolescent girls get the company's new vaccine against cervical cancer as a requirement for school attendance.
The drug maker, which announced the change Tuesday, had been criticized for quietly funding the campaign, via a third party, to require 11 and 12 year old girls get the three dose vaccine in order to attend school.
Some had objected because the vaccine protects against a sexually transmitted disease, human papilloma virus, which causes cervical cancer. Vaccines mandated for school attendance usually are for diseases easily spread through casual contact.
such as measles and mumps.
"Our goal is about cervical cancer prevention and we want to reach as many females as possible with Gardasil." Dr. Richard M. Haupt,
Merck's medical director for vaccines, told The Associated Press
"We're concerned that our role in supporting school requirements is a distraction from that goal, and as such have suspended our lobbying efforts." Haupt added, adding

the company will continue providing information about the vaccine if requested by government officials.

RICH M. HAUPT Merck Medical Director
Merck launched Gardasil, the first vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, in June. It protects against the two virus strains that cause 70 percent of
Last month, the AP reported that Merck was channeling money for its statemandate campaign through Women in Government, an advocacy group made up of female state legislators
across the country.
Conservative groups opposed the campaign, saying it would encourage premarital sex, and parents' rights groups said it interfered with their control over their children.
Even two of the prominent med
ical groups that supported broad use of the vaccine, the American Academy of Pediatricians and the American Academy of Family Practitioners, questioned Merck's timing, Haupt said Tuesday.
"They, along with some other folks in the public health community, believe there needs to be more time," he said, to ensure government funding for the vaccine for uninsured girls is in place and that families and government officials have enough information about it.
Legislatures in roughly 20 states have introduced measures that would mandate girls have the vaccine to attend school, but none has passed so far. However, Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Feb. 2 issued an executive order requiring Texas girls entering the sixth grade as of 2008 get the vaccinations, triggering protests from lawmakers in that state.
Perry defended his order Tuesday, a day after lawmakers in Austin held a lengthy hearing on the issue but failed to act on a bill to override the order.

In Tuesday's recommendation to fire the officers, Corwin said Spencer and Schnell violated department policy by not providing Salva with medical treatment. He said they also violated the department's ethics and conduct rules.

MARDI GRAS
New Orleans takes break from rebuilding to celebrate
BY MARY FOSTER ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW ORLEANS — Thousands of hurricane weary residents joined with rowdy visitors for Fat Tuesday, taking a break from rebuilding New Orleans to put on wild costumes and celebrate the second Mardi Gras since Hurricane Katrina.
"I work all day at my job then I work all night and all week on my house. I just want to eat, drink and have fun today," Ferguson said.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Chuck Turo, a Shriner's clown from Mobile, Ala., works the crowd on Royal Street between parades Tuesday during Fat Tuesday celebrations in downtown Mobile, Ala. Mardi Gras celebrations continue in New Orleans where residents are still rebuilding 18 months after Hurricane Katrina.
John Ferguson, who is still rebuilding his house almost 18 months after the storm, said of the celebration: "We never needed it more."
Many spectators spent the day along the parade routes or in the French Quarter, where the first Mardi Gras parade of the day was staged by the 1,250-member Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, a predominantly black group that wears grass skirts and blackface makeup in parody of stereotypes from the early 1900s, when it was founded.
"I'm hyped up," said Ike Williams, a 42-year-old Atlanta contractor who is black. He wore black makeup, a frizy black wig and a grass skirt as he marched in his first parade as a member of Zulu's Walking Warriors. "I couldn't sleep last night. This is the center of the universe right now."
Mike Kittrell/Associated Press
Earlier in the day, Mayor Ray Nagin rode a horse down St. Charles Avenue.
"We're going to make it happen." Nagin told the crowd at Gallier Hall.
which served as city hall for over a century. "We're going to rebuild this city regardless."
Nagin urged tourists to spend money. "We need the tax revenue bad," he said.
The crowds appeared larger than last year, when an estimated 700,000 people were in the city for the final weekend and Mardi Gras. The city's 30,000 hotel rooms were 95 percent occupied, according to Fred Sawyers, president of the Greater New Orleans Hotel & Lodging Association.
Along some parade routes, crowds listened to Pete Fountain's Dixieland jazz as his Hall Fast Marching Club kicked off the day. It was the 46th time the Grammy-winning clarinetist had made the march from Commander's Palace restaurant in the uptown section to the Mississippi River.
"This is like old times," said Fountain, 76, who lost his house along with his gold records and collection of instruments in the hurricane. "New Orleans will always get ready for a party."
Corinne Branigan, 40, wore a brown T-shirt with the slogan, "New Orleans. Established 1718, Re-established 8-29-05," referring to the date Katrina struck the city.
"This is everything that's great about New Orleans rolled into three days," Branigan said. "Food, music
— we've got the best marching bands in the country. It's like a big neighborhood. Everything else is forgotten for the time being."
In the French Quarter, the cel.
ebration was more raucous as revelers swapped flashes of flesh for beads tossed from balconies.
Costumes ranged from the glamorous to the satirical.

Dow hits another record high
BY MADLEN READ ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Wall Street managed a moderate advance in an uneven session Tuesday after a drop in oil prices and encouraging comments from a Federal Reserve official allowed investors to shrug off disappointment over Home Depot Inc's declining sales. The Dow Jones industrials set another closing high.
Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, said sales at stores open more than a year dropped in the fourth quarter, suggesting that consumers appetite for home improvement goods is still dwindling due to the sluggish housing market.
The company's results sent the market down in early trading. But comments from outgoing Fed Governor Susan Bies, who said slumping demand for housing may have bottomed out, alleviated some concerns about the downturn dragging down the rest of the economy. Her remarks echoed those of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, who last week predicted the economy will keep growing at a modest pace.
"The overall trend of the market is basically positive," Brian Gendreau, investment strategist for
ING Investment Management, said pointing to Bernanke's recent forecast of moderating growth and cooling inflation. "That's a great environment for equities. Unless you have some specifically nasty news, there's no reason why the trend shouldn't be upward."
Falling oil prices, which tumbled $1.32 to $58.07 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on forecasts of warmer weather, also lent some support to stocks, as did a proposed merger between XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., and Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.
The Dow rose 19.07, or 0.15 percent, to 12,786.64, after falling more than 60 points earlier. Tuesday's climb brought the index to its 31st record close since early October, and its biggest five-day rally since mid-November. The Dow also reached a new trading high of 12,795.93.
Markets were closed Monday for Presidents Day.
Broader stock indicators also turned higher. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 4.14, or 0.28 percent, to 1,459.68, and the Nasdaq composite index climbed 16.73, or 0.67 percent, to 2,513.04.
Bond prices rose slightly, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note at 4.68 percent, down
from 4.69 percent late Friday. Bies comments helped support Treasury notes, which in turn added some fuel to the stock market's advance.
The dollar rose against most other major currencies, while gold prices fell.
The decline in crude prices gave some investors reason to buy back into the market, as lower fuel costs curb consumer prices — which could help boost discretionary spending, and reduce the chance of an interest rate hike.
Kim Caughey, equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh, noted that a drop in energy prices often pushes up stocks, but that the link between the two markets has become tenuous. A decrease in energy prices typically pushes down oil company stocks.
On Tuesday, ConocoPhillips fell 57 cents to $65.58; Chevron Corp. fell 69 cents to $70.12; and Exxon Mobil Corp. fell 42 cents to $74.87.
Home Depot's weaker-than-anticipated sales also kept some pressure on stocks.
Home Depot fell 10 cents to $41.34 after reporting same-store sales that disappointed analysts.
"We're always fascinated with the consumer, so we're taking their temperature constantly", Caughey said.

Sex offenders flocking to Wyoming
BY KATHLEEN MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Wyoming, with its wide open spaces and crisp, clear vistas, is starting to worry it has made itself too attractive in one respect: Convicted sex offenders from out of state are moving in, apparently because the laws are less restrictive.
"We don't want to become the playground for sex offenders," Attorney General Pat Crank said. "But there must be something that sex offenders are seeing. Otherwise they wouldn't be moving here in the kind of numbers that we seem to be seen."
Wyoming is home to about 1,200 known sex offenders. That is not a large number for such a sparsely populated state. But law enforcement officials and legislators are worried because 56 percent of those offenders moved to Wyoming after being convicted somewhere else.
Afraid that the word is out among ex-convicts that Wyoming has some of the nation's loosest restrictions on sex offenders, state legislators are rushing to tighten the laws, and they are meeting little resistance.
no place for them to hide," vowed Rep. Ed Buchanan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
"We're going to make it so there's
While other states often prohibit sex offenders from living near schools, daycare centers or other places with children. Wyoming has no such laws.
"They can live right next to a school if they want to. They can live in a home with children if they want to." Laramie County sheriff's Sgt. Linda Gesell said.
Also, unlike many other states, Wyoming does not require people convicted of indecent exposure or sexual battery to register as sex offenders. In addition, ex-convicts who are deemed low- and medium-risk offenders are not listed on the state's publicly accessible Web site.
Gary Smith, a 29-year-old cook in Cheyenne, left Wyoming for Oklahoma after serving about four years in prison for having sex with a 15-year-old girl. A few months later, a neighbor posted fliers in Smith's trailer park showing his criminal record, which had been taken from an Oklahoma Web site on registered sex offenders.
Smith and his wife quickly headed back to Wyoming. Although he is a registered sex offender here, he is not listed on public databases
because authorities do not consider him at high risk of committing another crime. Smith is glad the state does not call attention to his conviction.
"If they ain't supposed to publish stuff about you, they don't do it," he said.
Wyoming also lacks a standardized system for accepting convictions from other states. That means authorities must obtain court papers on each sex offender before determining the corresponding Wyoming crime and deciding whether that person must register. That can cause long delays, because only one person is in charge of such efforts.
"It becomes daunting," that person, Bob Brackett, program manager for the Wyoming sex offender registry, said.
Brackett recalled getting a call recently from a Florida sex offender who wanted to discuss the state's laws. The man eventually moved to Wyoming.
"A short time later, he called our office to ask a question, indicated that it was much easier to live here, and that he was going to call a buddy of his," another Florida sex offender, to urge him to move to Wyoming, Brackett said.

SHROVE TUESDAY
US reclaims pancake title
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LIBERAL — A southwest Kansas high school student won the annual trans-Atlantic pancake race Tuesday, beating the winner of the English leg of the race by more than 10 seconds.
Jessica Lash, an 18-year old Liberal High School student racing for the first time, won the race with a time of 1 minute. 3.1 seconds.
Jane Hughes, 42, won the English leg of the annual race on Shrove Tuesday, crossing the finish line of the 41.5-yard (379-meter) course in 1 minute, 13.5 seconds.
Michelle McNabb and Chrissy Davis finished second and third, respectively, in the Liberal race that included a field of 12.
Lashs time was just a few tenths of a second faster than the winning time in Olney last year, when Andrea Rawlins won in 1 minute, 3.76 seconds, snapping a string
of seven straight victories for the United States.
Nearing the finish line. Lash and McNabb were in a dead heat, with griddles and pancakes still in tow.
"It it feels good. The race was exhilarating, it was a fun race." Lash told the Southwest Daily Times after crossing the finishing line, appearing not to have been winded by the run.
The Shrove Tuesday cake race is a tradition between the women of Olney, 50 miles (80 kilometers) northwest of London, and their counterparts in Kansas.
"I just never even dreamt it," Hughes said, panting with hands on hips after winning the English leg. "You hear all about the pancake race; I never dreamt about winning."
According to legend, the pancake race began in 1455 when a rushed Olney housewife ran to Shrove Tuesday church services still carrying a pancake in a frying pan.
Liberal asked to make the race an
international friendly competition in 1950 and now leads the series 32-25.
To participate in the race, women must be at least 18, wear traditional housewife garb — an apron, a long skirt and a head covering — and run from the Olney market place to the town church.
Shrove Tuesday, widely known as Pancake Day in Britain, marks the last day of merrymaking before the start of Lent. Christians traditionally consider pancakes to be a good way to indulge in the excesses they are supposed to forgo during the fasting period.
Hughes beat 13 other runners on a rain-sliced course.
She said she didn't train for the race this year and entered because she thought it would be fun. She's a member of an Olney runners club, but she said she trains for distance running, not sprints.

Tyson suit moves forward
BY RICHARD GIBSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa — A federal district judge ruled in favor of workers at a Tyson Foods Inc. beef-processing plant seeking payment for time spent putting on and removing safety gear for work.
A similar case was filed against the company in Sioux City, Iowa, earlier this month.
Springdale, Ark-based Tyson, the world's largest meat packer, sought summary judgments blocking the compensation claims, first brought by employees at the Holcomb, Kan, facility last May.
Tyson now pays knife-wielding workers for four minutes to doan and doff special protective clothing, but the current lawsuit would also cover employees who are required to wear items such as hair nets, hard hats, gloves and earplugs.
In ruling in the Kansas matter
on Friday, U.S. District Judge John W. Lungsrum rejected Tyson's motion, clearing the way for the plaintiffs to seek class-action status.
The judge noted that while the Fair Labor Standards Act "typically requires employers to pay their employees for all time spent working on their behalf", Congress never precisely defined "work," leaving it up to the courts to determine that on a case-by-case basis.
While Tyson attorneys contended that a 1994 case, Reich v. IBP Inc., determined that donning and doffing protective clothing wasn't work, the judge disagreed. He wrote that if the court in that case were to revisit the issue, it would analyze it differently considering subsequent cases, particularly one, titled IBP Inc. v. Alvarez in 2005.
In that case, the Supreme Court ruled that any activity that is "integral and indispensable" to a "principal activity", or work situation, is compensable. Judge Lungstrum concluded.
He also left open whether four minutes was adequate time to put on and remove special protective clothing and gear worn by those who use cleavers and knives on the assembly line.
"We're disappointed with the decision and are carefully considering our options," Tyson spokesman Gary Mickelson said in an e-mail. "We continue to believe we are paying all our people appropriately."
George Hanson, a lawyer for the Holcomb plant plaintiffs, said the next step is to file for class-action certification. He said more than 800 workers have indicated they wish to join the lawsuit, titled Adelina Garcia et al. v. Tyson Foods Inc. and Tyson Fresh Meats Inc.
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
Hanson said that if his side pre- vails, Tyson could face millions of dollars in back-pay compensation.

African Union forces to aid in stabilization of Somalia
BY EDITH M. LEDERER ASSOCIATED PRESS

A doctor treats a Somali man who was injured in Mogadishu, Somalia, on Tuesday. Mortar rounds and rockets hit Somalia's capital early Tuesday in a series of attacks that killed 12 people, including a 4-year-old boy, and wounded more than 40 others, doctors, witnesses and said the violence, which erupted after mortar attacks on three Ethiopian and Somali government barricades, was among the worst since Somalia's government moved into the capital last year.
Mohamed Sheikh Nor/ Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Tuesday to authorize an African Union force to help stabilize Somalia over the next six months, setting the stage for U.N. peacekeepers to take over the long-term job of bringing peace to the Horn of Africa nation.
The resolution adopted by the council urges the 53 African nations to contribute troops to the 8,000-strong force and urges other U.N. member states to provide financial support and any needed personnel, equipment and services.
Somalia has not had a functioning government since clan-based warlords toppled dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 and then turned on each other, sinking the poverty-stricken nation of seven million people into chaos.
The rout in December of the Islamic fundamentalist movement that controlled most of Somalia by Somali government troops and Ethiopian soldiers allowed the country's weak U.N.-backed transitional government to enter the capital, Mogadishu, for the first time since it was established in 2004. But escalating violence threats to plunge Somalia back into the years of anarchy and chaos.
The latest fighting has also raised questions about the deployment of the AU force, whose first troops — a small Burundian advance team — were scheduled to be on the ground as early as Friday.
Nigeria, however, reiterated its commitment to establishing stability in Somalia, saying Tuesday that its 850-troop contribution to the peace-keeping force should arrive in the Horn of Africa nation by mid-April.
The resolution adopted Tuesday noted the Aug. 19 communique of the African Union Peace and Security Council stating that the AU will deploy a mission to Somalia for
the long-term stabilization and post conflict restoration of Somalia."
It asks Secretary-General Ban Ki
moon to send a technical assessment mission to AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and to
Somalia as soon as possible to report on the political and security situation "and the possibility of a U.N.
peacekeeping operation following the AU's deployment." It asked Ban for a report in 60 days.

LONDON — Prime Minister Tony Blair will announce on Wednesday a new timetable for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq, with 1,500 to return home in several weeks, the BBC reported.
The announcement comes even as President Bush implements a surge of 21,000 more troops for Iraq. But Blair said Sunday that Washington had not put pressure on London to maintain its troop numbers. The BBC said Blair was not expected to say when the rest of Britain's forces would leave Iraq. Britain currently has about 7,100 soldiers there.
Blair said last month that he would report to lawmakers on his future strategy in Iraq following the
completion of Operation Sinbad, a joint British and Iraq mission targeting police corruption and militia influence in the southern city of Basra.
Treasury chief Gordon Brown, who is likely to succeed Blair by September, has said he hoped several thousand British soldiers would be withdrawn by December.
Blair, who has said he will step down as prime minister by September after a decade in power, has seen his foreign-policy record overshadowed by his role as Bush's leading ally in the unpopular war.

Kidnapped U.S. women unharmed

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NABLUS, West Bank — Three American women were briefly kidnapped Tuesday in the West Bank city of Nabius and were released later in the evening, Palestinian security officials said.
The security officials said the three women were last seen taking pictures on the outskirts of the Balata refuge camp near Nablus before they were kidnapped. They were held briefly before being released, security officials said.
There was no claim of responsibility that appeared to be authentic. At one point, a man calling himself Hadi Saud contacted The Associated Press in Nablus and said he was the kidnapper. He demanded to be given a job in the Palestinian security forces and medication for a shooting injury sustained last year, in exchange for releasing the hostages. He provided no proof that he was holding the women.
The women arrived unharmed at the office of the governor of Nabus. Two identified themselves as Janet Miller, 26, and Gillian Rose, 26. The third would give only her first name and age — Susan, 27. They would

OUR VIEW
U.S. needs fairer imprisonment
The patron of freedom and democracy, the United States, is in a bit of hot water.
One month after Germany warranted the arrest of 13 U.S. CIA officials for kidnapping, torturing and detaining in a secret prison a German man of Lebanese descent while he was on vacation, Italy has indicted 26 U.S. officials for kidnapping and torturing an Egyptian cleric living in Italy. The most recent victim, who was only released this month, claims that he was kidnapped in 2003, detained in Egypt and tormented for nearly four years.
For Americans, these stories should be disheartening. It's even more sobering that they aren't the only incidents in which U.S. officials made grievous errors. Indicted U.S. officials may not even be tried in court. By law, the 13 officials that Germany accused must travel to Europe and admit to their aliases before they can be arrested.
The hypocrisy of the situation is overwhelming. It's embarrassing that the CIA acts like the world police, but it's downright disturbing that these representatives of the free and democratic U.S. violate human rights with little risk of being held accountable.
Amidst rumors of scandal, President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice tiptoe around the issue as though it's a sex talk and the American population is too young to understand. Only recently did Bush admit that the U.S. had secret prisons worldwide. He immediately diverted attention from the scandal of this statement by comforting us with the news that 14 "key" terrorist suspects were imprisoned in the prisons. Bush also explained that, although "alternative" methods of interrogation were used in U.S. secret prisons, torture was not authorized.

We Americans would all love to love our nation, but this furtive behavior is distastefully undemocratic. Perhaps we were too trusting to assume that our government knew who the enemy was when we were asked to support the war against terrorism. We certainly were never briefed about the need for worldwide secret prisons with shady practices. If the U.S. condemns other countries for their lack of democracy, our freedom-loving nation should represent itself a little more accurately.
Combine a serious dearth of information with recent international allegations, and Bush's claim that "The U.S. does not torture" sounds as fraudulent as Clinton's illustrious statement, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
The war against clandestine terrorist organizations isn't one to be publicly detailed, but this secrecy goes a little too far. Why does the U.S. provide detail about men who are involved in the fight against terrorism and say nothing about the thousands of other prisoners in secret cells, some of whom are suspected to be held without charge? Exactly how does one monitor torture in a secret prison or judge what torture is in developing nations with less restrictive legal systems? What exactly are the mysterious "alternative" methods of interrogation that the government cannot detail?

Band dazzles at child's first collegiate game
My two-year-old son, Chris, attended his first collegiate basketball game on Feb. 18 and sat across the aisle from the University of Kansas pep band during the women's basketball game. He immediately was drawn to the instruments and atmosphere created from their sounds.
For the next two hours, he imitated the drummer during each song by banging pretend drums on our legs. During each performance break, Chris went up to members of the band to see their instruments first-hand. Your band members couldn't have been more wonderful
and courteous. They knelt down to his level, showed them their instruments and instructed him on how to hold them and push the buttons. The look on his face was priceless. He was so excited to be able to hold real instruments and talk to the band members.
Your band members really took interest in the pure joy of a young child having an incredible experience and I think they enjoyed it just as much as Chris did. I just wanted to let you know how well your members represented themselves and the University yesterday. I'm very appreciative of the time and attention they
were able to provide to my son.
We had a similar experience with your marching band during a football game earlier this year. Based on that experience, Chris asked for a band hat for Christmas and we now march around the house playing saxophones and trumpets. He also has a make-shift drum set so he can imitate the pep band drummer.
Thank you again for a wonderful experience and memory your band provided during the game on Sunday.

Jayhawk fans need to wear blue for victory
I was astonished at what I saw. at the Feb. 19 Kansas vs. Kansas State basketball game. The audience at Bramlage Coliseum didn't seem to be in attendance. It was because of K-State's "Blackout" theme and the overwhelming number in the stands wearing black clothing.
Such a display of sports solidarity was amazing, a touch intimidating, and more than a little embarrassing. What a united front that presents. As discussed frequently during the
It becomes all the more embarrassing when one realizes that this shouldn't be that hard to do. There's a store on every street corner that sells KU apparel. If nothing else, just wear a plain blue T-shirt; it works just as well.

On March 3, we play our final game of the season at home against Texas. With the tight race between
us and Texas A&M to top the Big 12, this game could prove to be all the difference. We as fans should do everything we can to spur our team on to victory.

A recent "Vogue" article cemented the fate of pants this season as it proclaimed: "consider the boot cut obliterated" (the look should be skinny and tailored). Whether you think fashion is an art or a silly game, its march forward is an inevitable part of our lives, but have you ever thought about the effect that fashion has on the environment?

Wear vintage to save the environment
According to a new study released by the University of Cambridge entitled, "Well Dressed?", fashion's impact is bad, even worse than the thought of flared jeans.
You can also profit substantially from this type of recycling. Arizona Trading Company and Wildman Vintage pay in cash or trade for old clothes.
Bridget
Yuhan Wang
Consumers worldwide spent about $1 trillion dollars on clothing in 2000. A third of that was in North America. We have become accustomed to buying more clothes. How else could we keep up with the latest trends?
The problem with this sort of mindset is that a clothing industry capable of pumping out a new style of jeans every season is also pumping out toxic chemicals, carbon emissions and tons of old clothes into landfills.
All right, you get it but you don't want me to make you feel guilty. Organic cotton is expensive, and we all don't want to wear hemp, either. Luckily, there is a solution to solve your all fashion dilemmas: second-hand clothes. Get over your stigmas about used clothes. You live in Lawrence; no one cares.
Buying second hand is cheaper and often provides a more diverse selection. You can get more clothes with less buver's remorse.
Cotton is a natural fiber grown in the United States; however, it is also the most polluting cash-crop in the world. Cotton demands the most intense use of pesticides and fertilizers — 25 percent of total agricultural pesticide use, according to CNN. com — as well as the use of more toxic chemicals in manufacturing. Additionally, cotton is a big energy consumer in its production and laundering.
Synthetic fabrics also require a huge amount of energy to produce and are made from oil. Polyester, nylon and acrylic are made out of polymers, which are made from oil. However, they require less energy because they don't need as intensive laundering.
Buying second hand combines recycling and shopping; so you can feel good about the environment and the way you look.

Art works of local artists are on sale at a low price at Olive Gallery and Art Supply at 8th and Massachusetts streets. The Olive is one of many downtown Lawrence art galleries that have closed recently.
BY MATT ERICKSON
Grimshaw Gallery, Ad Astra Galleria, KOJO and Fields Gallery all are Lawrence art galleries that have closed since 2004. In a few days, another gallery will join the list: Olive Gallery and Art Supply.
Olive, 15 E. Eighth St., opened in 2003 and will close Saturday. Jill Kleinhans, Olive Gallery co-owner, declined to comment on the closing
Dave Loewenstein, a Lawrence artist, said the string of gallery closings was not a disturbing trend so much as a sign that sustaining a commercial art business in Lawrence was no easy task.
"Lawrence is a fairly small town without a large art-buying market," Loewenstein said "It's hard to get that kind of business going."
Despite the trend of galleries closing in town, a new one will open this spring.
6 Gallery, owned by Sally Piller, will open at 716 Massachusetts St. in early May.
Loewenstein said that several opportunities still existed in Lawrence for local artists to display their work, from the Lawrence Arts Center to restaurants and coffee shops.
He said the Solidarity Revolutionary Center and Radical Library, 1109 Massachusetts St., would have a local art show that begins Friday.
Loewenstein said many people considered art a luxury, and most Lawrence residents weren't likely to buy original art because of the cost. Cities similar to Lawrence's size that support commercial art businesses must have a tourist industry that brings in people with disposable wealth, he said.
"That's not any tragedy," Loewenstein said. "I think it's just
a reality."
Fields Gallery, a downtown fixture since the 1960s, closed in October. People can now view and order artwork at the gallery's Web site, fieldgallery.com.
She said competition from charity auctions and other ways of purchasing art, as well as the high cost of operating a retail business downtown, made it difficult for Lawrence art galleries to turn a profit.
Even though many gallery owners don't even have the expectation of turning a profit, Wilkins said, they are likely to struggle even to break even and sustain operations.
"You have to really love what you're doing to be opening a gallery in the first place," she said. "Breaking even would be good."
Piller said she knows about the difficulty of running a profitable art business in Lawrence, and she did not expect a large financial gain.
"That seems to be a pretty hard egg to crack here in Lawrence," she said. "I don't necessarily have to make a living with this."
Piller said she had a roster of about 50 local artists who would contribute to six art exhibitions each year, with each show tied to a charitable organization. She said she planned to use personal communication with Lawrence residents to convince them of the importance

and attractiveness of buying local art.
"I think a lot of galleries are kind of intimidating and imposing." Piller said.

KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA, 7 TONIGHT, ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
Sooner center poses tough challenge
BY ASHER FUSCO
Sharita Smith and Shaquina Mosley deserve to be at the center of attention when they are recognized during the senior night ceremony at halftime of tonight's game against Oklahoma, but for the rest of the game the senior guards may have a tough time prying the audience's gaze from Oklahoma's Courtney Paris.
Paris, a sophomore center, looms larger than life over the Big 12
Conference. A quick glance at her statistics hints at the impact she has on the game.
Paris is averaging almost 23 points, 16 rebounds, and nearly 4 blocks per game, good for 1st in the conference in each category. As a freshman, she was voted to the AP All-American first team, named Co-Defensive player of the year, and set the NCAA single season rebounding record. However, the numbers and accolades do not begin to tell the whole story.
At 6-foot-4, the Piedmont, Calif., native towers over most opponents and turns the lane into her personal playground. Paris has earned the nickname 'Baby Shaq' for a reason; on defense, she is nearly impossible to avoid, and on offense, almost unstoppable.
and disrupts the flow of the opposing offense.
"We're going to step up and compete. I'm sure the young kids are excited about it," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "But we know we've got our hands full."
Freshman forward Porscha Weddington and junior forward Taylor McIntosh are the Jayhawks who will go head-to-head with Paris.

Opponents free-throw percentage not greatly affected by crazy crowds
It's not a serious topic, and Darrell Arthur approaches it with an appropriate amount of lightheartedness.
"The students all go like this," the freshman forward said, crouching down before jumping up and yelling "whoosh!!" It's a spot-on imitation of the Allen Fieldhouse student section.
During every home game, students try to give Kansas an advantage by jumping up and down, waving, baring their chests and doing whatever else they can to distract opposing free-throw shooters. But how much of an impact do they
really have?
"I would like to think more than we actually do, but probably not that much." Topeka junior Kyle Davis said.
He's right. The fieldhouse does have an advantage, but it's not a huge one. Opponents make 5 percent fewer free throws when playing in Lawrence. In a typical game a team may shoot 20 free throws; which means it will miss one shot that would otherwise go in.
The standard distractions involve the students behind the basket way

ing their arms, either back and forth or in a set pattern as the shooter releases the ball. Creativity is encouraged, though. Over the last two years a new distraction has emerged where students crouch down in the bleachers, then jump up just before the shot. Shawnee freshman T.J. Haynes said that one was his favorite.
"We have all the impact," he joked. "It is all determined by the free-throw distraction."

Home opener pushed back once again due to sloppy field
Despite the pilot's past success, not even a helicopter could do the trick Tuesday morning.
BY ALISSA BAUER
In an effort to dry out the Hoglund Ballpark infield, coach Ritch Price spent $600 to rent the chopper in hopes of playing the Jayhawks' home opener Tuesday.
No such luck.
And with that, both Kansas and North Dakota State continue to wait to play a series that was set to begin a week ago today. A decision on today's game, set for 3 p.m., will be made this morning.
"Until it's finished thawing, there's nothing they can do," Price said.
True, the 60 degree temperature combined with the force of the helicopter seemed to be enough to get the field ready to play, which is why Price is so frustrated.
The problem is not standing water, in fact, there is almost none. But as the ground thaws, the moisture comes up through the ground making the field too muddy for play.
Price said that was the most frustrating part about canceling the doubleheader on Tuesday.
"The outfield looks fantastic" he said.

Spectators at the Kansas Relays in April will notice something missing from this year's competition.
Donley was not available for comment by press time, but assistant meet director Billy Steffens said there would be significantly less Olympic athletes in the Gold Zone section of the meet, which had featured world-class athletes such as Marion Jones and Maurice Greene in recent years. He said the Gold Zone would continue to be included in the meet, bui

--and it's nice to know that there's a commitment to bringing in competition that's worth keeping around," he said. "The thought of bringing the meet back to where it's been in the past, and for me to be able to be a part of that history, that means a lot to me."

Junior hurdler Ashley Brown agreed.
"My dad ran track at Nebraska and said the Kansas Relays was one of the best meets he went to and it kind of fell away from that for a
while" she said, "and if we can get it back to where it was I think that would be great."
Steffens said athletes from smaller schools in Kansas such as Fort Hays State, Wichita State, and many community colleges would still have athletes in the events, but that some of their spots would be taken by athletes from around the country. He said events had minimum marks that had to be met in order to quality. He said the events that typically fielded the most entrants were sprints and

"People that just tune in to track every four years for the Olympics might not be as interested, but as a former runner I think it'll be better in the long run," he said. "The college athletes are going to be the

SWIMMING Kansas adds to schedule to help team qualify
In an effort to garner more qualifiers to the upcoming NCAA Championships, the Kansas swimming and diving program announced it has added an additional meet to its schedule. The Last Ditch Qualifier will be held Saturday in Columbus, Ohio.
Last week, Kansas finished third at the Big 12 Championships.
BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
But unfortunately for the layhawks and the Bison, the infield is completely saturated.
"You just can't run on it." Price said. "It's like in running up."
Running in mud is no good for the health of the athletes or the field, so Price and the Kansas Athletics Department had no choice but to cancel on Tuesday.
As for the series, Price has calls out to every playing facility in the county in hopes to play at least two games of the series before the lajwahys leave for Palo Alto, Calif. for a weekend series against Stanford (4-5).
Kansan staff report
Because the team takes off on
Thursday night, Price said that today would basically be the only option for getting games in with North Dakota State.
In the meantime, the Bison have been in Lawrence for the past week preparing for a series that may not even happen. Gracious for North Dakota's patience, Kansas has allowed its opponents time in both the outfield and the indoor hitting facility each day.
"They want to play just as bad as we do." Price said. "They've been first class about the whole thing."
February at home would be a roll of the dice. However, he had tracked the weather of the four years he had been here and discovered that three of the four years the weather was acceptable to play.
Before the season started in Hawaii, Price said opening in early
Using this research, Price took the gamble and set the Jayhawks' first home series for Feb. 9-11. That series was moved to the Metrodome in Minneapolis.

Go-to guy changes every game despite criticism
Listen to any national talking-head discuss the Kansas basketball team and they will tell you the thing keeping the lahawks from a national championship is the lack of a "go-to guy." Someone to carry the team offensively night in and night out, someone the team can give the ball to when they need a hoop.
1
What they don't see is that Kansas has someone different playing this role every single game.
BY KAYVON SARRAF
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM
Look no further than Monday's win at Kansas State. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush, who carried the Jayhawks early in the 97-70 beat down of the Wildcats on Feb. 7, could not hit a shot and was saddled with three first half fouls. Enter sophomore guard Mario Chalmers, whose 12 points kept Kansas in the game when any offense was tough to find. Chalmers had scored in double figures in only three of the Jayhawks past 10 games.
In the second half, Chalmers handed the keys to freshman guard Sherron Collins, who teamed with freshman Darrell Arthur to handle
the bulk of the second-half scoring, Collins, Chalmers and Arthur along with Rush, Julian Wright and Sasha Kaun give Kansas six legitimate options to carry the scoring load on any given night. Not many teams in the country can claim that.
The precocious Collins is emerging as the man who wants the ball at crunch time. After perhaps being rattled early against Kansas State, Collins hit the biggest shot of the game, a three-pointer just seconds after a Lance Koehler three tied the game at 43. The shot sparked a 16-4 run.
Collins' fearlessness on the biggest stage, such as nationally televised games against Missouri and Texas A&M, suggest that he wants to
be the one to carry Bill Self's bunch through the rough stretches of play. In addition to being the team's best three-point shooter, he is the only one who can get to the rim at will. How the little man is able to finish some of his drives to the hoop is beyond me, but more power to him.
Kansas is likely to see a game similar to Monday's in Manhattan when the NCAA tournament rolls around. K State did a good job of playing an active zone defense and making the game as ugly as possible. The lajhawks will need to hit some outside shots, so we'll likely see either Collins, Chalmers or Rush forced to carry the load.
As Saturday's game rolls around, there's no telling who could be the Jayhawks' offensive leader. But considering the opponent is Iowa State, don't be surprised if Brad Witherspoon is again the game's biggest highlight.

>> BASEBALL CONTROVERSY
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Barry Bonds had a message for the grand jury: Go ahead, investigate me.
BY JANIE MCCAULEY ASSOCIATED PRESS
After arriving at spring training Tuesday, more fit than in recent years following a productive winter of conditioning, the slugger insisted he's unfired by all his off the-field issues and is ready to resume his pursuit of the home run record.
Bonds bats away steroid claims
"Let them investigate. Let them, they've been doing it this long." Bonds said Tuesday after his first workout this year with the San Francisco Giants.
When Bonds showed up, he waved twice to the swarm of people waiting to see him make his entrance, then quickly headed into Scottsdale Stadium to get to work.
Noticeably absent were his two personal trainers, Greg Oliver and Harvey Shields, who no longer can be with the slugger at the ballpark. Bonds, who spent the weekend in Las Vegas for the NBA All-Star game, was flanked by his two publicists and
Bonds took part in a team meeting before walking to the field for the Giants' first full-squad workout
a Major League Baseball security guard assigned to him.
—and he took a big bow for the horde of cameras. He re-emerged later in the morning to start his routine and waved his batting helmet to fans in the bleachers, carrying two bats in his right hand.
He shagged fly balls and hit five home runs in batting practice, including a shot to the berm in right-center on a fastball from No. 2 starter Matt Cain. That was enough to impress new skipper Bruce Bochy, who saw Bonds do his share of damage against his old team, the Padres. Bonds has hit more homers against San Diego than any other team.
Bonds was mostly business — with a little fun mixed in — once he got on the field.
He still could be indicted if a federal grand jury determines that he perjured himself when testifying in 2003 in the BALCO steroid distribution case that he hadn't knowingly taken performance-enhancing
drugs. Bonds, who has long denied ever using steroids, said his level of concern about the investigation is "none."
Last month, the New York Daily News reported that Bonds failed an amphetamines test last season and then attributed it to a substance he took from teammate Mark Sweeney's locker. Bonds publicly apologized to Sweeney at the time, then stretched alongside him and Ray Durham on the first day of workouts.
"I did not blame Mark Sweeney," Bonds said Tuesday, noting he apologized only "because you guys just started talking about it and I just thought it was unfair for him to be accused of something that wasn't true."
He begins his 22nd major league season, and 15th with San Francisco, needing only 22 home runs to break Hank Aaron's career record of 755. Bonds isn't about to make predictions, but said he won't stop once he catches Hammerin' Hank.
"I said I'm playing till I'm 100 — you guys get used to me," Bonds said.

camping group. The spinners were inspired by something that students did during games in the fieldhouse in the 1990s.
"I just remember seeing them on TV a long time ago, and a bunch of people had them," Davis said. "I've always wanted to make them, so I did."
St. Louis junior Josh Bender is in Davis' group. He said that the first time they brought the spinners, they recorded the game to watch for themselves at home later.
"The first guy to shoot was Acie Law. After he shot and missed it, he looked so [freakin'] confused," Bender said. "We probably watched that at least 10 times."
The opportunity to mess with opposing players is one reason why some groups sit behind the baskets instead of in the student seating that wraps around the Kansas bench.
There's room for more students behind the north basket than the south basket, which shares its space with the band. Both sections come alive during free throws, and Haynes feels that they do better work than the behind-the-bench crowd during the game as well.
"It's louder, and we get more into it then the guys who sit over there," he said.
Putting the blinders on
At the fieldhouse, the free-throw line is located 19 feet away from the baseline. It's the same at every other arena in America. The only difference is in the shooter's surroundings.
At Psych Solutions, clinical psychologist Dr. Mark Bowers works with athletes. He said the goal is to develop a consistent approach.
"Some guys dribble the ball a certain way or hold it for a certain amount of time," he said. "What that's doing is enhancing their concentration."
Jayhawk players often talk of "putting the blinders on," or going into a mode where they can tune out the crowd and the distractions around them.
"You've got to have that mentality to block it out," sophomore guard Brandon Rush said. "It's tough on the road. You can't focus as well when the crowd's going crazy."
Bowers said while some athletes respond negatively to that pressure, others use it as motivation.
"Some athletes have told me that they find it complementary to them that the fans are so worried about them that they go through the trouble of trying to intimidate them," he said. "They use that as their confidence booster."
Most elite players are able to effectively tune out even the loudest noises. In the NBA, players make the exact same percentage of free throws both at home and on the road. In college, though, some teams struggle more than others.
Zen and the art of free-throw shooting
This Saturday should be a good day for the students. Iowa State is coming to town, and the Cyclones are the worst team in the Big 12 at adjusting to the pressures of shooting free throws in the fieldhouse (see chart).
Opposing teams each have their own strategies for coping with the atmosphere. Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said that any advantage is
mostly an imaginary one.
“There been such an unbelievable amount of attention paid to home court,” he told reporters. “It’s become a much greater advantage than it actually is. It’s basically in the minds of players, which is a tough thing to combat sometimes.”
That mental obstacle becomes especially large when coming to the fieldhouse, where a packed student section is waiting to greet opponents when they come out for their pregame shoot around.
Whether or not repeated visits to Lawrence make a difference can't be determined. Because The Kansan only analyzed data from 2005 on, it's hard to draw conclusions for the Big 12 South teams, who only visit every other year.
South teams historically haven't fared well in the fieldhouse. They have a record of 1-31, with Texas A&M being the only team to leave victorious. Aggie coach Billy Gillespie thinks that may have more to do with the team that plays at the fieldhouse than the atmosphere.
"They have a great team every single year," he said. "You've got plenty to worry about before you even get to the crowd."
Gillespie's team is one of two that actually improves under the pressure. Oklahoma State and Texas A&M have both shot better than their average in the fieldhouse. The same can't be said of Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado and Iowa State, which see a significant decline.
Kansas State is another team that shoots as well in the fieldhouse as it does anywhere else. Coach Bob Huggins received a piece of advice from legendary Marquette coach Al McGuire.
"I asked him when they got good, and he said. "When we walked into any venue with no fear," Huggins said. "I think there's tremendous truth to that."
The perfect distraction
So what's the best way for fans to distract the shooter? Nobody knows for sure. Scientist and Slate magazine writer Daniel Engber theorizes that it's when everyone in the crowd holds up their arms one way, then waves them the other way right before the shot.
"When we see a moving background, we tend to assume that we're the ones moving and that the background is staying put," he wrote.
This means that players would try to compensate by shooting too far right or left.
Bowers thinks that sometimes fans hurt themselves by waiting too long to move.
"There's no data to support the different crowd techniques," he said. "Many of the physical gestures that the fans do actually happen after the ball has been released."
He did offer one idea for students, though.
"Silence can be just as intimidating as noise," he said.
A jam-packed Allen Fieldhouse crowd that falls completely silent? Now that would be frightening.

KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA 7 TONIGHT, ALLEN FIELDHOUSE
Oklahoma's Courtney Paris leads the Big 12 in scoring with 23 points per game. The sophomore center's dominance led her to First Team All-American status last season. With the way Paris is demolishing each team she faces this season, she is a legitimate candidate for player of the year. It's not only Paris that has been giving opponents nightmares, but the entire Sooner offense. Oklahoma (20-4, 10-3 Big 12) is ranked first in scoring offense, field goal percentage, and offensive rebounds in the conference.
OFFENSE:
This is in stark contrast to Kansas (9-17, 3-10 Big 12), which is last in both scoring offense and field goal percentage, and second to last in three-point field goal percentage. The Jayhawks offense did, however, perform admirably in the win over Kansas State on Sunday. Freshmen Danielle McCray, Kelly Kohn, and Sade Morris combined for 54 points to complement senior guard Shaquina Mosley's 21 points. Mosley's production has been steadily outstanding, she has scored 20 points or more in four of the last five games. Even if Kansas' offense can connect on all cylinders, it should be nothing compared to one of the premier offenses in the country.
MOMENTUM:
>> WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW
In its last four games, Kansas is 3-1. Oklahoma has also won three of its last four. The only difference is the Sooners at 10-3 are in a three-way tie for first place in the Big 12. The Jayhawks are 3-10 and last in the conference. Oklahoma has every reason to be playing its best basketball with seeding in the Big 12 tournament on the line. But there is no way a trip to Lawrence to face record-wise the worst team in the Big 12 is one that is circled on the Sooner's calendar.
On the other hand, the Jayhawks are riding high after finally getting the monkey off of their backs and breaking a twelve game losing streak to rival Kansas State. The young team is excited for the opportunity to face the eleventh ranked team in the nation that is loaded with talent. Kansas will be backed by an undeniable great atmosphere at Allen Fieldhouse. A season-high 4,902 fans showed up Sunday. With a chance to see Courtney Paris and former NBA superstar Hakeem Olajuwon's daughter, Abi Olajuwon, the attendance should be similar on Wednesday.
Courtney Paris also leads the Big 12 in rebounding with 16 per game and blocked shots with 4 per game. Twin sister Ashley Paris comes off of the bench to join Courtney in the frontcourt and averages seven rebounds per game. If one thing is for sure it's that Kansas will not be able to score points in the paint. The question is whether or not it will be able to defend down low, another area that was improved against Kansas State.
Earlier in the season when the Jayhawks lost nine straight Big 12 games, it was often due to abysmal performances in both holding opponent's points in the paint and getting easy baskets. But Sunday the Jayhawks did a better job and battled the Wildcats all afternoon, resulting in a narrow 30-28 loss in points in the paint. Danielle McCray has been elevating more ferociously on the boards and averages ten rebounds in the last three games. Kansas will need her to continue Wednesday. Overall, the Jayhawks stand little to no chance in being able to defend Paris and her Sooner teammates.

DEFENSE:

(CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The 5-foot-11 McIntosh and 6-foot-1 Weddington supply plenty of athleticism in the post but stand several inches shorter than Paris. McIntosh, who is notorious for getting into foul trouble, will attempt to be disciplined enough to avoid committing quick fouls. Even if Weddington and McIntosh play the game of their lives, they may need some assistance from their teammates.

OK, maybe Marie didn't exactly light it up against Kansas last Saturday, but it doesn't matter. He had one of the best individual performances in Big 12 history last week against
K-State. Maric scored 41 points and grabbed eight rebounds. He shot 13-19 from the field. Here's a scary stat. Maric was only 15 for 25 from the free throw line. He
could have scored 50 points. This was arguably the best single game performance of any college basketball player this season.
START A CONVERSATION WITH THESE TOPICS...
Kansas State's guard Carter Martin received a public reprimand from the Big 12 for criticizing officials after a loss to Nebraska last week. According to Associated Press, he said, "it was definitely eight against five" Martin should have been actually punished. A public reprimand is a lesser punishment than having to go to your room. Martin should have been suspended for one game. The last thing this conference needs are hot-head prima domnas barking about officiating like they're Rasheed Wallace.
Texas Tech guard Jarrus Jackson made a case for himself as the best big-game player in the league with a buzzer beater against Texas &M last week. Sorry Jackson supporters; he is still at least second best. The title of most clutch belongs to A&M's guard Acie Law IV. Before Jackson beat the Aggies, Law tied the game with a three. And Jawhawk fans aren't going to forget his game-winning three-pointer anytime soon. Both Jackson and Law are seniors, meaning someone will have to fill their roles next season. That person? Sherron Collins.

The Big 12 Fastbreak predicted that Texas Tech's forward Darryl Dora would not score in double digits the rest of the season after going for 18 against Kansas in January. Last week, Dora nearly did something special. He almost had more combined turnovers in his team's two games than points. Alas, a seven point outburst against Colorado gave him nine points for the week compared to six turnovers.
KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON THE RACE FOR IRRELEVANCE...
Two weeks ago, the Big 12 Fastbreak warned Oklahoma State after a loss to Colorado that it could become a fixture in this section if it isn't careful. Needless to say, the Cowboys did not pay heed. No team has been more disappointing in conference season than Oklahoma State. It entered January in the Top 10 and is now no longer ranked after losses in four out of five games. Take away a miracle comeback against Texas Tech, and it would have lost five straight. Now, for Colorado. Don't think you can get away without mention two weeks in a row. The Buffaloes are arguably worse now than at any point this season. Why? Guard Richard Roby is even less interesting than normal. He's not even trying to impress NBA scouts anymore, and this is shown by scoring less than seven points in two of his last three games.
YOU PROBABLY SAID 'OH MY GOD' ABOUT...
Texas Tech guard
Jackson was mentioned earlier, but he didn't receive enough credit. Against Texas A&M, he dribbled the length of the floor after Law's gamey shot and sank a pull-up jumper at the buzzer. His great shot gave his team a huge victory on the Aggies home floor and put the Red Raiders back onto the bubble for the NCAA Tournament.

UNM coach suspends Giddens
UNVERSITY

NEW MEXICO
BY STEVEN FERNANDEZ
DAILY LOBO
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The UNM men's basketball team will be without its leading scorer for possibly the rest of the season. J.R. Giddens has been suspended indefinitely. Lobo coach Ritchie McKay said Saturday.
Giddens was kicked out of Friday's practice, but there was no specific incident that triggered the suspension. McKav said.
Giddens did not join the team in Saturday's 74-58 win against Texas Christian at The Pit and will not practice or travel with the team until the suspension is lifted. McKav said.
"It just came to a point where I felt like it was important not only to our team, but to J.R. and the rest of our basketball family that I make the decision," he said.
McKay said the suspension was basketball related.
"He did nothing illegal, nothing unethical," he said. "This program tries to promote being a good teammate, and I want to emphasize that."
Giddens said in a news release Sunday that he does not dispute McKay's decision.
"I respect coach's decision," he said. "He's the leader of our team. He's the person of authority, and if he feels like this is what's best for the team right now, then I accept his decision."
McKay said there is no timetable for the junior guard — who was averaging 16 points per game — to return to the team.
He did not rule out the possibility of Giddens returning as early as Tuesday's game against San Diego State in The Pit and did not rule out the chance of the suspension lasting the whole season.
"There's no conditions to it," he said. "With the appropriate time, it there comes one, we'll reinstate him. If not, we'll talk about it next season."
Prior to the 2005 season, Giddens transferred to UNM after playing his freshman and sophomore seasons at Kansas. He was stabbed
in a bar fight on May 19, 2005, in Lawrence.
Giddens is a talented athlete, but the suspension was necessary, McKay said.
"He's a great kid. He's an excellent player," he said. "We'll miss his contribution to our team while he serves his suspension. But I'm not in this just for winning games. I want to see if we can't make an impact or a difference in the lives of the people that we coach."
UNM point guard Darren Prentice said the Lobos have no choice but to move on while Giddens is away from the team.
member. But we still have games left to play, and we can't let our heads get down. We just have to keep playing hard."
Having Giddens on the floor is an advantage, but UNM showed it could win without him, guard Chad Toppert said. Three players scored in double figures in Saturday's win.
"I don't really know the situation," he said. "It's always going to be a distraction if you lose a team
"J.R. draws a lot of attention," Topperd said. "When he's drawing double teams, it's easier for me and my teammates to find open looks. But I think we did a great job (Saturday)."
Giddens missed four previous games this season due to injury. He also started several games on the bench.

Cavaliers share top position, prepare for March
BY CLAYTON O'TOOLE CAVALIER DAILY
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — With a three-point victory against Florida State over the weekend, the No. 24 Virginia Cavaliers once again reclaimed a share of the top spot in the ACC with No. 5 North Carolina.
Virginia's performance - exemplified by a 9-1 record in the teams last 10 games - will most likely result in an appearance in the NCAA Tournament for the Cavaliers (18-7, 9-3 ACC) for the first time in five years. During the 2000-2001 season, then-coach Pete Pelen led a 20-8 Virginia squad with nine conference wins to the tournament, where they were promptly upset by the then-
unknown Gonzaga Bulldogs.
Nine wins has traditionally been a magic number for ACC teams vying for a place in the tournament. In what many believe to be the toughest conference in all of college basketball, a 9-7 (above .500) conference record has historically equated to having your ticket punched. Therefore, Virginia with nine conference victories already and four games remaining, would seem to be in great shape.
"It's a great feeling to be in a position like this right now," said forward Adrian Joseph, the star of Saturday's game against Florida State. "We've just got to get in the gym and work on what we do best."
Few things in life are certain, as
Florida State found out last season. Just 12 months ago the Seminoles capped off a successful ACC regular
season with two victories against Duke and Miami, bringing their conference record to 9-7. After a disappointing first round loss in the ACC Tournament to Wake Forest, however Florida

Oklahoma State on bubble Loss puts Cowboys'tournament prospects in jeopardy
COACH
LM Otero/ASSOCIATED PRESS
OSU coach Sean Sutton and his Cowboys appear to be on the NCAA Tournament bubble after losing four of their last five games. The Cowboys can help their postseason chances Wednesday when they take on Texas A&M at Gallagher-Iarena B arena.
BY CARSON CUNNINGHAM
DAILY O'COLLEGIAN
STILLWATER, Okla. — The Cowboy basketball team better untie its dancing shoes, because its invitation to the Big Dance may not arrive.
Saturday's 75-64 loss to Missouri now puts Oklahoma State on the outside looking in at the NCAA Tournament.
In other words, OSU is in a place no team wants to be - on the bubble.
The Missouri loss was another setback for a Cowboy team that is in complete disarray.
OSU has lost four of its past five and on Saturday it had no answer for Missouri's full-court pressure.
"We let (Missouri's) pressure dictate the pace of the game," a visibly frustrated Sean Sutton said. "We emphasized (handling the press) over, and over, and over. And that's frustrating - when the message doesn't get across (to the players)."
The loss was as damaging to OSU's tourney hopes as much as it was disheartening for Cowboy fans.
The 11,624 fans in attendance witnessed a dreadful performance by a team that didn't seem to care.

the things to game against.
In order to reach nine conference
wins, a total that would likely mean a
tournament bid, OSU must win four of
its next five games.
Three wins would put OSU's record at an even 8-8 and put the Cowbows directly on the bubble.
Less than three wins would likely mean a second straight trip to the NIT.
Right now, as disappointing as it sounds, the Cowboys appear to be headed back to the dreaded NIT. Three of their final five games are on the road, where OSU is still winless in the Big 12.
The latest turn of events leave us with one baffling question: How did OSU go from the top 10 to not even making the NCAA tournament?
The lone positive the Cowboys can take from the situation is that they control their own destiny. Thus, OSU's path to the NCAA tournament is pretty simple.
Win and you're in.

Big 12 programs investing in future
BY ZACH LEMING
DAILY NEBRASKAN
LINCOLN, Neb. — Things are beginning to look all too familiar to Gary Blair. Blair coached at Arkansas for 10 seasons and is the school's all-time winning coach.
His tenure in Little Rock, Ark., came during a time when the Southeastern Conference stood above all the other leagues in women's basketball.
Now in his fourth season at Texas A&M, Blair is witnessing a growth spurt in the big 12 Conference.
"This conference is going to get better and better," Blair said, "and it's starting to remind me of the SEC in the late '90s when the SEC was by far the best conference in women's basketball."
The reason behind Blair's comment is because of the emphasis from Big 12 administrations to develop and sustain competitive women's basketball teams.
"I think what (the administrators) are doing is they're seeing that women's basketball can also become a revenue-making sport," Blair said, "not just a sport that's
given scholarships and using a huge recruiting budget and travel budget. They're making money off women's "basketball."

The Big 12's commitment to improving its women's basketball teams doesn't stop at hiring elite coaches.

A&M will break ground on a $21.5 million renovation in less than a month.
While Missouri has been the only northern Big 12 school to upgrade, Blair expects that to change.
"That's where the arms race is, to stay up facility-wise," Blair said. "I wouldn't be surprised in the next few years that all those places (in the north) look at adding more space."

Trek to travel 4,000 miles takes three men 111 days
BY ANNA JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
IN THE WESTERN DESERT Egypt — Three ultra-endurance athletes have just done something most would consider insane. They ran the equivalent of two marathons a day for 111 days to become the first modern runners to cross the Sahara Desert's grueling 4,000 miles.
"It will take time to sink in ... but this is an absolutely once in a life time thing. They say ignorance is bliss, and now that I know how hard this is, I would never consider crossing the Sahara on foot again," said American runner Charlie Engle, 44, hours after he and the others completed the run at Egypt's Red Sea.

Taiwan, ran the final stretch of their journey that took them through the Giza pyramids and Cairo to the mouth of Suez Canal on four hours of sleep. Once they hit the Red Sea, they put their hands in the water to signify crossing the finish line.
"We touched the water in Senegal at the beginning, and we touched the water in the Red Sea at the end. They were the bookends of our journey," Engle, of Greensboro, North Carolina, said on the telephone from a hotel room in Cairo.
In less than four months, they have run across the world's largest desert, through six countries — Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Libya and finally Egypt.

The trek is one of extremes. The relentless sun can push temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, but at night it sometimes dips below freezing. Strong winds can abruptly send sand swooping in every direction, making it difficult to see and breathe.
Running through turbulent conditions is nothing new for these athletes who have traveled the world competing in adventure races. But they say nothing has tested their physical and mental limitations like the Sahara.
Throughout the run, the runners have been stricken with tendinitis, severe diarrhea, cramping and knee injuries all while running through the intense heat and wind_often without a paved road in sight.
"This has been a life changing event." Engle said.

>> SECOND ROUND OR BUST
The exciting, and crazy time that is March Madness is a couple weeks away. With that said, the jayhawks have three games left in the regular season and there is still plenty of time for some interesting story lines to develop.
JOHN M. BURTON
In the remaining games before the Big 12 Tournament, here are eight things to keep your eye on.
1. Will Sasha Kaun see less playing time?
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
JORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM
It's possible. In the last few games the Jayhawks have gone to Kaun early to try to establish him inside. When he doesn't perform early, he goes to the bench—and he stays there.
3. Will Iowa State's Brad Witherso boost his career points? The Cyclones won't be able to match up with the Jayhawks when they come to town Saturday. Plus, the Jayhawks want to prove they don't need overtime to beat the Cyclones this time.
What does all this Cyclone beatdown talk mean? It means Witherspoon will probably get into the game with a few minutes left,
He rarely sees time in the last minutes if the game is on the line. If he doesn't play well in the early parts of these last three games, he may get next to no playing time.
2. Offensively, the team is clicking better than ever. When a team is playing as in synch as Kansas has been since their loss to Texas A&M, you can expect to see them making long outlet passes and pushing the tempo.
This can be a weapon to really take the air out of their opponent's lungs. It also makes for an exciting game, and hopefully lots of alley oops.
thus giving him opportunities to score his fourth or dare I say five point of his career. Rest assured that any points Witherspoon scores will blow the roof off Allen Fieldhouse.
4. Kansas still has to travel to Oklahoma. The Sooners have flown under the radar most of the season. They aren't as great as seasons past, but they are good. First year coach Jeff Caple has his team playing excellent defense. They have the second best scoring defense behind Texas A&M — one ahead of Kansas.
This game is a sleeper, it is one most fans forget about, but it can be difficult. A win would simply add to this team's toughness.
5. An entertaining match-up will be Sherron Collins versus Texas point guard D.J. Augustin. This has the potential to be a good two-man rivalry over the next few seasons. When the Longhorns come to Lawrence, these guards will go right at each other.
Whichever player comes out on top will likely earn billing as a top two or three freshman point guard in the country.
6. Another interesting match up in the game against the Longhorns will be between two superstar freshmen — Kevin Durant and Darrell Arthur.
Durant is a front runner for the National Player of the Year and for the first pick in this year's NBA draft. Although Arthur doesn't have the perimeter presence of Durant, you should expect some big plays under the net from both as they try one-upting each other.
7. As it stands, Kansas has 49 conference titles. If they can sweep these last three games they will reach a huge milestone with a 50th conference championship. If Texas A&M wins as well, there would be a split of the title, which is okay.
However, an Aggies let down would mean an outright championship for the Jayhawks. It's nice to share —unless it's a historic championship.
8. It was around this time last season when Julian Wright and Mario Chalmers caught fire. Chalmers played so well he went on to be the Big 12 Tournament MVP. So who is going to get hot to finish off this season?
Chalmers is an easy guess. He had an excellent game against Kansas State and appears to have come out of his mini scoring slump, although his defense never slumped. Collins has been hot and will probably stay that way. His style of getting to rim could only go cold if his legs fall off. Even then, expect Brandon Rush and Wright to pick it up. They know what time of the year it is. Also, if Sasha Kaun sees less time, Arthur's minutes go up, which means more rebounds and points.

Tournament format inconsistent
BY DOUG FERGUSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
There was a chill in the air Tuesday morning at the Gallery Golf Club, which beats a lake in the middle of the fairway at La Costa.
MARANA. Ariz. — A change of scenery only helps so much.
In the high desert north of Tucson, the Accenture Match Play Championship is a sellout for the first time in its nine year history. In late February, north of San Diego, the only sellout was umbrellas in the merchandise tent.
But no matter where this World Golf Championship goes, it has a hard time living up to its expectations.
Two longtime British writers were at a hotel bar in downtown Atlanta in 1998, a few months before the start of these WGC events. Match Play got their attention above the others, and one of them — the late Bill Blighton — thought it might be the best new tournament in golf
since Bobby jones invited top players to his new golf course called Augusta National in 1934.
Golf needed this format.
Ever since the PGA Championship went to stroke play in 1958, match play was mainly found in amateur golf.
The World Match Play Championship in England began two years later and has a roll call of champions that includes Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, Nick Faldo and Seve Ballesteros. But it only had an eight-man field when IMG founder Mark McCormack created the event, and it later was perceived as the IMG Invitational until it came up with set criteria to get in.
The PGA Tour tried match play in Tucson from 1984 to 1986, but it didn't always get the best field.
That's what made the Accenture Match Play Championship so appealing when it began in 1999. It featured a 64-man field, taken exclusively from the world rankings, and players represented 17 countries. First prize
was $1 million, back when $1 million meant something.
The winner was Jeff Maggert
The stage was set. The curtain was drawn.
Never mind that his 38-hole victory over Andrew Magee remains the most exciting championship match in this tournament. Maggert knocked out Tiger Woods in the quarterfinals, and never had the lead in the final until chipping in for birdie on the second extra hole.
PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said that over time, the stars would reach the weekend, if not the final. He got his wish a year later when Woods, David Duval, Davis Love III and Darren Clarke were the final four remaining, and Clarke beat Woods in the final.
"If you have the right match-up in the final, then I think it could be wonderful for the ratings," Woods said. "But if you don't get the people who are household names, then the ratings won't be all that good."
That was about as good as it got.

Colorado defenseman fractures wrist
BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATE PRESS
DENVER — Colorado Avalanche defenseman Jordan Leopold will miss approximately four weeks after revealed a fractured wrist, team officials said Tuesday.
Leopold, who hurt his wrist in the third period against Calgary last Thursday night, had the MRI exam on Monday. He is scheduled for surgery this week.
It's the third significant injury this season for Leopold. He missed
the first 25 games of the season as he recovered from offseason hernia surgery and then another 17 games due to a groin injury he suffered in December.
Leopold has missed the last two games — both Avalanche losses — because of the wrist injury.
"Tough year," Avalanche coach Joel Quenneville said. "Another tough blow"
Defenseman Jeff Finger was called up from Albany of the AHL on Saturday and is expected to make his NHL debut Tuesday night against
Calgary.
"I'm looking forward to seeing him," Quenneville said.
The Avalanche lost defenseman Patrice Brisebois for the season to a back injury in late December against Dallas.
"ToLose Briser and Leo, a couple of important guys for us," Quenneville said. "It's one after the other."

Simpson ordered to turn over earnings
BY ALEX VEIGA ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — A judge Tuesday ordered that O.J. Simpson's income from past work in movies, television and commercials go directly to the family of murder victim Ron Goldman, but he rejected the family's bid to collect Simpson's earnings on future projects.
Simpson was acquitted in October 1995 of murder charges in the June 12, 1994, slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and
Goldman, but a civil court jury later held him liable for the killings in a wrongful death lawsuit and ordered him to pay $33.5 million. Most of that debt remains unpaid.
Lawyers for both sides portrayed Tuesday's ruling on royalties or other earnings as a victory.
Simpson attorney Yale Galanter said royalties Simpson he receives from past work for films such as the "Naked Gun" movies and the TV show "1st and Ten" amount to almost nothing.
"Last year Simpson's royalty
checks from all of his movies were less than 39 cents," Galanter said.
"They got kicked to the curb again," he added. "Every door they're banging on gets slammed."
However, Goldman attorney David J. Cook said the ruling on past royalties was a step in the right direction, indicating the family would seek to determine what Simpson's royalties really amount to.
"We presume there is money and we're not going to take their word for it," Cook said.
Lawyer pleads not guilty for Richie
BY LINDA DEUTSCH ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Nicole Richie's lawyer appeared in court Tuesday without her client and entered a not guilty plea on Richie's behalf to a driver under the influence charge.
The complaint alleges Richie was under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and an unspecified drug when she was arrested Dec. 11. A pretrial conference was scheduled for April 2.
Richie, who starred in the TV reality show "The Simple Life" with Paris Hilton, was not required to appear for arraignment because the
charge is a misdemeanor.
In addition to the single count, the Richie case contains an allegation that she had a prior misdemeanor DUI conviction in June 2003.
The California vehicle code specifies that if convicted of DUI twice within 10 years, a person can be sentenced to between 90 days and a year in jail, fined between $390 and $1,000, and have driving privileges suspended.
CHP Officer Todd Workman said at the time that Richie, the daughter of pop singer Lionel Richie, volunteered that she had smoked marijuana and taken the prescription painkiller Vicodin, but no drugs were found on her or in the car.
Richie was arrested after 911 callers reported seeing her car headed the wrong way on a freeway in Burbank about 12:30 a.m. She was found alone in her SUV, which was stopped in a car-pool lane but facing the right way when California Highway Patrol officers arrived. She was arrested after she failed a field sobriety test.
Last month, Hilton pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving stemming from her Sept. 7 arrest and was sentenced to 36 months probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

PGA
Tiger prepares for match play
Woods must face unpredictable tournament,six of the world's best
BY DOUG FERGUSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARANA, Aniz. — Tiger Woods has compiled some amazing numbers during the longest PGA Tour winning streak in 62 years. He has won those seven tournaments by a combined 22 shots, is 109 under par and has posted 24 of his last 28 rounds in the 60s.
The math is much more simple at the Accenture Match Play Championship.
To make it eight in a row, he has to win six in a row.
"This has always been one of the tougher events to win just because of the nature of the format." Woods, the No. 1 seed, said Tuesday. "Match play, anything that happens is unpredictable. Sometimes, it takes a great round to advance. Sometimes, you can shoot over par and advance. All I know is you have to beat one guy at a time. You don't have to beat a whole field. Just six guys."
The 64-man field assembled in the high desert of The Gallery Golf Club represents the best in the world from 17 countries. The only guy Woods cares about today is Ryder Cup teammate J.J. Henry, his first opponent.
How fickle is this tournament?
"You can shoot 65 and lose. You can shoot 73 and win," Henry said. "You never know what you're going to get. Of course, I know if I play Tiger and shoot 73; I might as well pack my bags."
Jim Furvk is the No. 2 seed and will play Brett Quigley. Third seeded Adam Scott faces Shaun Micheel, and Phil Mickelson has the No. 4 seed and will play fellow letty Richard Green of Australia.
The most compelling match.
es feature Ryder Cup teammates — Sergio Garcia against Darren Clarke in one match, Padraig Harrington against Lee Westwood in another. And in a reminder that anything goes in this event, Geoff Ogilvy plays Steve Stricker in a match of past champions who were seeded No. 55 (Ogilvy) and No. 52 (Stricker) when they won.
Woods is a pro at match play, even though most of his success came as an amateur.
He learned as a teenager how frustrating this format could be, taking on a kid named James Mohan in the Southern California Junior Match Play. Woods said he shot 69 that day, posted the lower score and was eliminated.
"I didn't quite understand that," he said. "I just came home and told Dad, I shot a better score than he did, but he won the match. That doesn't seem right." He explained it to me. We went out the next couple of days and played match play."
After that, it was rare when Woods didn't win.
He captured three straight U.S. junior Amateur titles, followed by three straight U.S. Amateurs. His record at the Accenture is 23-5, and his single records in match play including exhibitions is 36-11-2.
For all the lore over Woods' record in match play, he might be tougher to beat over 72 holes of stroke play. Furyk was asked whether he would rather face Woods in an 18-hole match or 18 holes of stroke play.
It took him a while to find the answer before he drew one obvious conclusion.
"I guess the point there would be its not really a good scenario either way." Furik said.

Edmonds takes it easy after multiple surgeries
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — Coming off a winter in which he had surgery to his shoulder and toe and continued to recover from post-concussion syndrome, Jim Edmonds will be taking it easy at the start of spring training.
In fact, the St. Louis Cardinals center fielder won't hit or run during the first couple of weeks of workouts, and will throw only lightly. He said Tuesday he'll use the time to work on his conditioning after an offseason
spent going from doctor to doctor.
"This is not a good situation to be in, but it's a situation I've been dealt," Edmonds, 36, said. "I just have to do the best I can, work a bit harder than normal and try to get ready."
"I can't remember last year that well," Edmonds said. "I don't even care about last year. I want to try to get to the point this year where I can
Edmonds played 110 games last season, his fewest since joining the Cardinals in 2000. He failed to win a Gold Glove for the first time since coming to St. Louis.
play and get back to my abilities and have some fun"
Edmond's shoulder was problematic most of the season. He had bone shaved from near the arthritic joint of his right shoulder blade and collarbone. He was sidelined by postconcussion syndrome after banging his head on the U.S. Cellular Field warning track. The toe required a daily numbing injection during the postseason before surgery to repair a torn ligament. He had a pin inserted that was removed 10 days ago.
ries, Edmonds hit .250 during the postseason run to the Cardinal's first championship in 24 years, and had 10 RBIs.
Despite the assortment of inju
He hopes a slow spring will lead to a healthy season.
Edmonds at least has no contract worries this season after signing a two-year, $19 million extension.
Edmonds has eight Gold Gloves and is fourth on the Cardinals' all-time home run list. Of his 350 career home runs, 229 are with St. Louis. He expects this to be his last contract.

House passes language bill
BY TYLER HARBERT
The Kansas House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday that would make English the official state language.
Similar legislation has been passed in Missouri, Colorado and California.
The bill, passed 118-2, is widely viewed as a symbolic measure because it calls for no significant legal changes. Some Kansans speculate the underlying meaning of the bill has less to do with language and
more with culture.
"There's always that suspicion, because we know there's some antimigration and jingoist thinking out there that could have some influence on the writing of the bill," said Chuck Seibel, director of the Applied English Center.
Seibel said he didn't want to disparage the people who supported the bill, but he said the bill could create harmful effects in a country dominated by the English language.
"I think it sends the wrong
message to English speakers: that English is so much more important
other languages," Seibel said. "It sends the message to non-native speakers that their language is devalued in our state."

Spring enrollment at Fort Hays State University rose dramatically this year compared to other Board of Regents universities, including the University of Kansas.

Union may add Panda Express
BY MATT ERICKSON
Panda Express, a national Chinese fast food chain, wants to open a location on campus, but fans of the chain shouldn't get their hopes on quite yet.
"There was never a debate about whether they would be a great addition," Mucci said.
Panda Express and the University have been unable to reach an agreement for an on-campus location partly because the University worried that a Panda Express might be too successful, David Mucci, KU Memorial Unions director, said.
He said Panda Express then proposed a location at the newly remodeled Market in the Kansas Union in Fall 2006. Mucci said their proposal was denied because of concerns that the chain could take all the revenue from the other food shops there.
However, Mucci said the University didn't want to add Panda Express to The Underground because jump Asian Express was doing good business and Panda Express would pack even more customers into an already overcrowded area.
This could cause the other shops to close, he said. He compared the situation to Wal-Mart running other shops out of business.
He said Panda Express first contacted the University during the summer of 2005. They asked to open a location in The Underground at Wescoe Hall that would replace Jump Asian Express.
"It's not an unlimited market," Mucci said.
"We had a genuine fear that it would make that place completely mad," Mucci said.
Truman Yeh, Panda Express area manager, declined to comment on the reasons Panda Express had not yet reached an agreement with the University.
He said the chain had 18 locations on college campuses, including one at Kansas State that he said produced 30 to 40 percent of the revenue at the union's food court.
"It's a really huge success." Yeh said.
is a really huge success, ten said. Mucci said discussions with Panda Express were not finished. The University will look at the possibility of a Panda Express location after the Market arrangement has been open for a year.

Q&A with
Associate Professor Erik Herron
PETER HUNTER
BY RICHELLE BUSER
Erik Herron
Associate Professor, Political Science and Director, Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies
Where did you go to college/what degree did you
receive: I received a B.A. in Russian and East European Studies from Michigan and an M.A. in the same field from Indiana. My Ph.D. in Political Science is from Michigan State University.
What are your hobbies outside of class: I spend most of my time playing with my two-year-
old son Carter, reading him stories,
playing hide-and-seek and so on. I also play ice hockey.
Why did you decide to study Russian: I began studying Russian when the Soviet Union still existed. I thought the Soviet Union was a mysterious place and wanted to learn more about it. A high school in my hometown had a Russian class, so I began studying the language during my senior year. I continued studying Russian in college, including a semester abroad in the U.S.S.R. After graduating from my M.A. program, I worked for a few years helping immigrants from the region resettle in the U.S. and was able to use my language skills every day.
What is your favorite thing about Lawrence: I really enjoy the college-town atmosphere. When I first moved here, it reminded me a lot of Ann Arbor and Bloomington. Although it is not a big city, there are lots of cultural activities all year-round.
If you could live anywhere else, where would you, and why? Although I love college towns, I also enjoy the excitement
of Washington, D.C. There is so much to do there, and also lots of great restaurants. If I didn't live in Lawrence and could afford to live in D.C., that's where I would go.
What is something your students don't know about you! I grew up in Flint, Michigan, a rust-belt city that was profiled in the movie "Roger and Me." I visit the city once a year and always say that conditions could not possibly get worse. But each year they do.
Why did you decide to teach at the University of Kansas: The University has great resources, an excellent political science department and a Title VI program in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies. Also, the University offered me the job.
What was the best class you took as a college student:
I can't say that I had one favorite class, but I enjoyed the opportunity to explore lots of different classes as an undergraduate — everything from Russian language and political science to printmaking and urban planning.

》 BOARDWALK TRIAL
Mistrial not as negative as commonly thought
The term "mistrial" has been a hot topic recently after one of the biggest trials in recent Douglas County memory was declared a mistrial. The label, though, may not be as controversial is it seems.
David Gottlieb, professor of law,
said the term "mistrial" didn't neces-
sarily mean something was done
incorrectly. He said a number of cir-
cumstances could lead to a mistrial,
and there was no magic formula for
one.
"It's a regular part of the system," Gottleb said. "Anytime when you have to stop and start, a mistrial is likely."
Mistrials happen when a substantial change occurs and results in no option besides restarting the trial, Gottlieb said. The most common type of mistrial is for a hung jury,
type of witness when the jury cannot decide on a verdict. If a trial is determined to have unfair circumstances or misconduct, such as an attorney saying something that cannot be wiped from the court's record, a mistrial could be called. Another
"Anytime when you have to stop and start, a mistrial is likely."
circumstance would be turors being dismissed and not having enough alternates to continue the hearing.
In the case of the Jason Allen Rose trial, the jury never became a factor.
Rose was being tried for setting the October 2005 Boardwalk Apartments fire that killed three people.
On the fourth day of witness testimony, Assistant District Attorney Amy McGowan attempted to call a surprise witness, Judge Jack A. Murphy said the witness' testimony
should be heard, but that admitting of the witness would not allow defense attorney Ron Evans ample time to prepare. Murphy told the state that if it wished to admit the witness, the trial must be declared a mistrial and a new trial must be scheduled. All sides agreed and a new trial was scheduled to begin April 30.
"What appears to be the case is probably the case," Gottlieb said.
Associate clinical professor Jean Phillips operates a defense clinic in the School of Law, and said nobody "dropped the ball" in the Rose trial. She said mistrials were standard procedure.
DAVID GOTTLIEB Professor of law
Gottlieb said he was not familiar with any cases exactly like the Rose trial, with all sides agreeing to reschedule. He said he didn't suspect the prosecution was guilty of any mistakes or foul play.
"What if he would have been acquitted?" Phillips said. "If they didn't bring all the evidence and he walked, then they would be looking at this witness."
Phillips said the new witness, who was found on an online
message board, told more about the evolution of evidence gathering than any flaws in the trial procedures.
"This was something they stumbled upon. It just happened to catch the eye of law enforcement." Phillips said. "It doesn't mean mistakes were made; that's not what mistrials are about."

STUDENT SENATE PLATFORMS
Weighing the important issues
Candidates from the three Student Senate coalitions announce their platforms in anticipation of the April 11 and 12 elections. Costs, safety and technology rank high for the prospective leaders.
Students' Rights
Jhnathan Wilson, Paola sophmore and presidential candidate for Students' Rights, and his running mate Caitlin Ballard, Overland Park junior, focused their platform issues on lowering the cost of education for students.
DECREASED TUITION
The coaition wants to decrease differential and out-of-state tuition. Wilson said a steady increase in tuition and the University's spending of tuition were reasons why tuition should decrease.
"It seems like some of the money is misallocated." Wilson said.
TEXTBOOKS
Wilson and Ballard researched the possibility of implementing a textbook rental option at campus bookstores.
"The rental service could save students between $600 and $800 a year, depending on their course of study." Wilson said.
Wilson plans to meet with administrators at the University bookstores and Jayhawk Bookstore to
discuss the issue.
ROLL ON
"Roll on" proposes to give students the opportunity to roll over any unused meals from their meal plans into Beak'em Bucks.
"Most students don't use up all of their allotted meals from their purchased meal plans," Wilson said. "This gives students the chance to use what they paid for."
Wilson and Ballard want to let students roll over meals to the next semester, but put a cap on how many meals can be rolled over.
Although some of the issues may seem a bit progressive, Students' Rights will work to make them a reality. Wilson said.
"We've made a lot of progress so far," he said. "We're figuring out what needs to be done and then take action."
United Students
Hannah Love, Dodge City junior and presidential candidate for United Students, and running mate Ray Wittlinger, Olate the junior, use input
from students and administrators to develop platforms.
United Students addresses issues that are important to students on a daily basis, Wittlinger said.
ENHANCED CAMPUS SAFETY
The enhanced campus safety platform is United Students' commitment to making the University one of the safest in the nation. The platform calls for the most comprehensive safety plan the University has seen in a long time, Love and Wittlinger said.
"We're looking at all aspects of safety," Love said.
One issue United Students hopes to address in their plan is their concern that the Blue Light emergency phone system on campus is ineffective, Love said.
The finalized platform will likely address United Students's concern that students are forced to park farther away.
CONVENIENT STUDENT LIFE AND STUDENT SERVICES
United Students' platform for student life and student services
calls for better accessibility when searching for groups and services
Many groups and aids for students exist but are often overlooked and unexplored. Love said.
Love said the platform would address all groups and services from parking to the career center.
Through their platform, Love and Wittinger hope to expand and promote groups and services through efforts such as public relations.
INCREASE AND UPGRADE
TECHNLOGY
United Students thinks that classrooms must be equipped with updated technology to better prepare students for the future.
The platform would update technology that is currently in classrooms along with places students frequently visit.
"it's time to sit down and make this a reality," Wittlinger said.
United Students continues to strengthen and develop additional platforms.
"The conversations with students and administrators is the most important part of the process." Love
said.
Wittling said the conversations would continue.
Delta Force
"We're excited about the ideas and want to meet with more students,"Wittling said.
Ryan Rowan, Kansas City, Mo., junior and presidential candidate for Delta Force, along with John Cross, Kansas City, Mo., junior and vice presidential candidate, released a platform focused on students' safety.
"Releasing platforms isn't a light subject for Delta Force," Cross said.
THE BLUE LIGHT SYSTEM
An important issue for the Delta Force campaign is the safety of students.
After considerable research, including work with the Lawrence Police Department, Delta Force uncovered a serious issue in student safety off-campus, particularly between Ninth and 13th streets between Iowa and Massachusetts streets.
According to statistics from the Lawrence police, Delta Force determined there were 15 rapes and forced acts of fondling, 359 assaults, 18 robberies, three kidnappings and one murder in the area last year.
To address these dangers, Delta Force proposes to expand the Blue Light system to off-campus areas of high crime.
The Blue Light system is an emergency phone system that allows students to immediately place a call to police. The system has already been successful on campus, Cross said.
"We have been working on this issue for several months and have support from city officials as well as the KU police department," Cross said.
Delta Force plans to release more platform issues once it finishes researching the details.

》 LEGISLATURE
Passed bill defines murdering pregnant women as double homicide
BY JOE HUNT
A bill, passed 94-28 by the Kansas House of Representatives on Monday, identifies a fetus as a person, making crimes against the fetus punishable by law. The bill does not apply to abortions.
If the bill passes the Senate and is
approved by the governor, murdering a pregnant woman in Kansas would result in two murder charges one for the mother and one for the fetus.
Under the bill, the fetus is considered a person after conception.
Rep. Terrie Huntington (R-Mission Hills) supported the idea of the bill but voted against it because
she disagued with its definition of a fetus as a person.
"A group of cells three days old would be a person." Huntington said. "The definition is not consistent with everyone's beliefs."
Rep. Steven Brunk (R-Bel Aire) voted for the bill. He said that the definition was scientific and had nothing to do with religious beliefs.
"We have all these different names for a human person through the stages of its life, but it starts at the point the egg is fertilized." Brunk said. "It is a being that is human in stages of development."
worded to exempt abortions.
Brunk said that opponents of the bill thought that it could affect a woman's right to have an abortion, even though the bill was specifically
Rachel Geurian, Hutchinson freshman, said that she thought the bill was a good idea, even though she did not agree with its definition of a person.
"I don't think it has any cognitive ability," Geurian said of the fetus. "But I do think it would be good for the mother and child."
The bill is called Alexa's Law. Brunk said it was named after the unborn child of a 14-year-old who was murdered last June.

International Student Association and Sucre, Bolivia, junior, said he didn't like the bill.
"I think it will affect people who don't speak English but live here," he said.
Castillo said he enjoyed the mixture of cultures in the U.S. and specifically in Kansas.
He said the bill wasn't good because people should understand how important different cultures' languages are to them.
"Kansas is a pretty conservative place and they want to conserve their own culture," Castillo said.

Iran contiues nuclear defiance
BY GEORGE JAHN ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA, Austria — Iran called Wednesday for talks with the United States — but despite a U.N. Security Council deadline did not budge on council demands that it mothball its uranium enrichment program or face harasser sanctions.
Amid Iran's nuclear defiance, the U.N. nuclear watchdog finalized a report to be released Thursday that is expected to formally confirm the
Islamic republics refusal to freeze enrichment — a conclusion that could subject it to tougher U.N. sanctions.
Officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency said the report by M o h a m e d ELBaradei, head of the Vienna based U.N. agen-
showed signs of compromise on the main demand of the U.S. and other world powers — a halt to enrichment and related activities.
"The enemy is making a big mistake if it thinks it can thwart the will of the Iranian nation to achieve the peaceful use of nuclear technology," Iranian state TV's Web site quoted that President Mahmoud Ahmadineed said. On Tuesday, he said Iran was ready to halt its enrichment program, but only if Western nations do the same.
"The enemy is making a big mistake if it thinks it can thwart the will of the Iranian nation to achieve the peaceful use of nuclear technology."
cy, would say Iran has expanded enrichment efforts instead of freezing them.
MAHMOUD AHMADINEJAD President of Iran
Once released, the report will be sent to the agency's 35-nation board and to the Security Council, which set a deadline of Wednesday for a freeze and said Iranian defiance could lead to sanctions in addition to those imposed in December.
In remarks directed at Washington — the key backer of tougher U.N. action — Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Wednesday the dispute "has to be decided peacefully with the United States."
But other top Iranian officials used harsher language and none
The White House dismissed Ahmadinejad's call.
"Do you believe that's a serious offer?" White House press secretary Tony Snow asked. "It's pretty clear that the international community has said to the Iranians, You
can have nuclear power but we don't want you to have the ability to build nuclear weapons.' And that is an offer we continue to make."
The United States and its allies suspect Iran is using its nuclear program to produce an atomic war
— charges Iran denies, saying its aim is to generate electricity. Enriched to a low level, uranium is used to produce nuclear fuel, but further enrichment makes it suitable for a bomb.
Iran has rejected the Security Council resolution as "illegal," and said it would not give up its right to enrich under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
No new sanctions were expected immediately.

Candidates focus on conflict in Iraq

Democratic presidential candidates, from left, former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Conn. Sen. Christopher Dodd, and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, appear together before the Nevada Democratic Presidential Candidate Forum held by the AFSFC in Carson in City, Nev. Wednesday.
Rich Pedroncelli/ASSOCIATED PRESS
CARSON CITY, Nev. — Former Sen. John Edwards jabbed gently at Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday in the first all-candidates forum of the 2008 Democratic presidential campaign, saying her retusal to disavow a 2002 vote on Iraq was "between her and her conscience".
"It's not for me to judge," said Edwards, who — like Clinton — voted in 2002 to authorize the invasion of Iraq, but unlike her, has since apologized for his vote.
The event format did not permit Clinton to respond to Edwards' swipe, which stood out on an afternoon in which Democrats launched serial attacks on President Bush's war policies.

Among Democratic presidential contenders, only Barack Obama skipped the event, which was hosted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Union. The Illinois senator campaigned in Iowa instead.
"The worst we can do is tear each other down," said New Mexico Gov, Bill Richardson, who called on his Democratic rivals to sign a pledge to avoid negative campaigning and concentrate their energy on taking the White House away from the Republicans next year.

WASHINGTON — The first "sniffs of air" of two huge far-away planets reveal that they seem to be missing water, a surprising finding amid weather unlike any planets in our solar system with blast furnace-like gusts amid supersonic winds.
Two exoplanets' atmospheres missing water
The absence of water from the atmosphere of both these Jupiter-sized gaseous bodies upsets one of the most basic assumptions of astronomy.
One of the researchers, Harvard
So far, scientists have found 213 planets outside our solar system
- they are called exoplanets. But only eight or nine are in the right orbit and location for the type of study reported by three teams using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.
University astronomy professor David Charbonneau, called the planets "very different beasts ... unlike any other planets in the solar system."

The two suns the planets orbit closely have hydrogen and oxygen, the stable building blocks of water. The planets' atmospheres — examined for the first time using light spectra to determine the air's chemical composition — are supposed to be made up of the same thing. H2O.

illegal downloads put college students at risk
WASHINGTON — College students who illegally share large music collections over campus computer networks are at risk of being unplugged from the Internet or even suspended over lesser complaints by the recording industry.
In a nationwide crackdown, the music industry is sending thousands more copyright complaints to universities this school year than last.
Ohio University said students caught twice sharing music online would face the same disciplinary sanctions as classmates accused of violence or cheating; suspension, probation or an assignment to write a homework paper on the subject. Ohio said no student ever
A few schools — Ohio University and Purdue University are at the top of the list — already have received more than 1,000 complaints since last fall. For students who are caught, punishments can vary from e-mail warnings to semester-long suspensions from classes.
The trade group for the largest music labels, the Recording Industry Association of America, which has long pressured schools to act more aggressively, said software tools are improving to trace illegal file-sharing on campuses.

"We are taking advantage of that technology to make universities aware of the problem on their campuses,'RIAA President Cary Sherman said.

Leave your car parked overnight, avoid DUI

all do this multiple times a day. Here's an easy one: a $2 ticket for leaving your car downtown or a DUI? The answer should be obvious. However many Massachusetts Street connoisseurs have trouble answering this one after a few too many drinks.
Clearly in negative wind chills driving is optimal to walking. The problem with this is many students are determined to leave with everything they came with; this includes the car.
If drinkers can't get Safe Ride leave your car downtown. Call a sober friend to pick you up. Car are just as safe downtown as they are in an apartment parking lot. Have a friend drive you to your car in the morning. It's a slight inconvenience, but anything involving police is going to be more than an inconvenience
If you're picking up your
car after a wild Friday night,
try to get there before 9:30
a.m. Anything after this early morning wake up is fair game
for a parking ticket. For the lucky partiers that put off their fun until Saturday night, don't worry about rushing to your car Sunday morning. Sunday is a day of rest for Lawrence Parking Control too. There are no parking tickets issued on Sundays or holidays.

Even if your car does receive a ticket for its extended stay downtown, it's only two dollars. You don't even have to know what a cost benefit analysis is to know that two dollars is cheaper than the legal fees from a DUI. Two dollars is cheaper than two Cokes on campus. Besides, the drive to your car in the morning can provide a great opportunity for your roommate to fill you in on the missing pieces of the night.

Technology still changing the world

trivial. This is anything but true.
When I was a kid, I was told the future would contain flying cars, robots and a daily commute to the moon. We don't quite have those things yet, but we're getting closer to them everyday. We live in an age of amazing technological breakthroughs.
Many of the items you use everyday are more advanced than they are given credit for. Coffee makers, do a number of things that are quite remarkable. They heat water, and percolate coffee grounds. Both of those actions are things that don't occur naturally. Some coffee makers even have a timer so they can automatically make you a morning pick-me-up. The ability to make a device that can do all of that in such a small container is no easy feat.
If that doesn't convince you that technology today is advanced, try this. Computers are arguably one of the most important inventions of our time. They are capable of calculating thousands of bits of problems a second. That's not something you can do. Computers are also
advancing at an exponential rate, there's no knowing what they will be capable of tomorrow.
There are more amazing things that will be around in the next
few months and years. One amazing new thing coming out is the Apple iPhone, which will combine a phone and iPod into one compact — albeit expensive — package.
Another one of the more spectacular things coming along is space tourism. Several small companies are currently developing crafts that will take people into space for a few minutes of weightlessness. Hilton also has plans to build a hotel in space. Start saving now.
The technology of today is nowhere near what science fiction can dream up. At the current rate it'll be several decades before we have any of those things. Don't be discouraged, even though you're not drinking cocktails on Mars while your robot butler waxes your hover-car. We have some amazing technology right now. We may not have all of the awesome technologies we dreamed wed have when we were younger, but the future is here.

Minster: North Korea not a threat to U.S., but Japan needs protection
In violation of previous promises, North Korea began a nuclear program, turned it towards weapons development and tested a finalized
Last week, after grueling negotiations, representatives of six nations announced that in a few months North Korea now has a new set of promises to break. The United States and others will supply North Korea with enough oil to keep their prison-camp nation running. In doing so, the U.S. has thrown Japan under the bus by insisting they remain defenseless.

North Korea is a mere intellectual exercise to the U.S., a threat that won't mature for a decade or more, but North Korea has tested missiles over Japan and kidnapped Japanese citizens. To Japan, the threat is immediate and immense.
A nation as destitute as North Korea sees Japan as nothing more than the defenseless treasure it is. Post-war insistence on a demilita-

a rearmed Japan are fighting a half-century old battle that has already been won, and are hurting their prospects in the looming future. The time has come to allow Japan to
protect itself like any other nation. The U.S. must initiate this step to assuage the fears of allies such as South Korea and Taiwan, who could interpret a Japanese effort as
a threat.
What such allies must understand is that a strong and independent Japan is in their best interest. South Korea and Taiwan will be safer with a rearmed Japan to counterbalance aggressive nations such as North Korea and China. The U.S. will also be safer — and richer, too — as Japan defends itself. North Korea will be faced with a committed counterpart who will be less accepting of broken promises.
A North Korean threat is too close for Japan to not take it seriously. History has tied Japan's hands, but the U.S. can lead the way to regional acceptance of a rearmed country. Last week's deal could have been announced with the headline, "United States has better things to do." How much longer this will be true is uncertain. What is certain though, is that by then, it will be too late. The remedy for today's U.S. attention-deficit diplomacy is Japanese strength.

CIA CASE
Jurors to continue deliberation today in Libby trial
BY MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Jurors deliberated Wednesday without teaching a verdict on whether former White House aide L. Lewis "Scooter" Libby obstructed the investigation into who leaked the identity of a CIA operative married to a prominent Iraq war critic.
The eight women and four men heard 14 days of testimony, a full day of closing arguments and more than an hour of instructions from U.S. District Judge Regine Walton before beginning their discussions. After 4 1/2 hours of deliberation, the jurors went home until Thursday.
The jurors include a former
Libby, who was the chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, faces five felony counts that carry a combined top penalty of 30 years in prison. It convicted. Libby probably would be sentenced to far less under federal guidelines.
Washington Post reporter, an MIT trained economist, a former museum curator, and several retired or current federal workers.
The trial provided behind the scenes details of the interaction between top reporters and government officials and of Cheney's efforts to rebut criticism of him and the administration.
The investigation began with the public identification of CLA operative Valerie Plaine on July 14, 2003.
eight days after her husband, exambassador Joseph Wilson publicly accused the Bush administration of distorting intelligence to push the nation into war with Iraq.
Months later, Libby told the FBI and a grand jury that he first learned that Plame worked for the CIA from Cheney on June 11. But he said that amid the press of war issues and other national security concerns he forgot that and was surprised to learn it from NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert on July 10 or 11. Thereafter he said he told reporters he had heard the information only from journalists and could not confirm it.
Rusert testified he and Libby never discussed Plame. Jdill Miller,
who had been a reporter with The New York Times, testified Libby told her about Plame's CIA job before the Russett conversation. Matt Cooper, then of Time magazine, testified Libby confirmed her employment for him. Six government officials testified they either told Libby about Plame's job or discussed it with him between June 11 and July 10 or 11.
Prosecutors argued that Libby concocted lies to make his discussions of Plame with reporters appear to be innocent gossip so that he would not risk losing his job for giving them classified information.
The defense argued that Libby had an innocent lapse of memory and tried to show that government witnesses also had memory flaws.

Firefighters work to reach victim
BY ANDALE GROSS ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A construction worker was trapped Wednesday and presumed dead after a 10-foot trench collapsed in a new housing development in the northern part of the city, authorities said.
The emergency call came in around 12:40 a.m., said Nathan Dougan, a supervisor for the Metropolitan Ambulance Services Trust. Firefighters continued working to free the man three hours later.
"He is totally enveloped in the earth." said Fire Department Battalion Chef乔Viitale. "There is nothing visual regarding the victim."
Vitale said firefighters had shot up the walls of the trench and were using shovels to reach the victim, a
process he described as "long and tedious." The ground was unstable, making the work difficult. Workers put wood around the site to stand on and created a pulley system to remove firefighters or the victim.
"You can't put a lot of heavy machinery around it because you're already working with an unstable environment," he said. "You don't want to create more victims than you have. You can't rush into it."
Vitale said the man was working in the trench when the upper portion collapsed on top of him.
"He appeared to see the wall coming in." Vitale said. "And he took a step to avoid it but it caught him."
No one else was in the trench.
Other workers who saw what happened and called for help.
The man was believed to be 51 years old.His name and the name of his employer were not immediately released.
IRAQ WAR
Britain plans to withdraw about 1,600 troops
BY DAVID STRINGER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — British troops have achieved many tangible successes in Iraq — securing oil platforms, rounding up rogue police units and driving smugglers carrying weapons and contraband from waterways and border crossings.
Now some of these tasks will be ceded to Iraq troops for good.
Under proposals land out by Prime Minister Tony Blair on Wednesday, Britain will withdraw about 1,600 troops from Iraq during the coming months and hopes to make other cuts to its 7,100-strong contingent by late summer.
British troops would likely stay in the southern Basra region until at least 2008, training local forces, working to secure the Iran-taq border and maintaining supply routes to U.S., and coalition troops in central Iran. Blair told legislators.
Britain could further reduce its force level to below 5,000 once a base at Basra Palace is transferred
to Iraqi control in late summer, the prime minister said.
"What all of this means is not that Basra is how we want it to be. But it does mean that the next chapter in Basra's history can be written by Iraqi," Blair said.
T h e announcement comes as the U.S. is implementing an increase of 21,000 more troops for Iraq — putting Washington on an opposite track as its main coalition allies.

primacy in the region, he said.
Rear Adm. Richard Cobbold, director of the military think tank Royal United Services Institute in London, said Britain's decision to pull back "needed to be made."
"I would admit that there is a sense of uncertainty, but things are not getting better with the British in Basra," he said.
Some analysts fear a militia resurgence once British troops withdraw and warn Iran may attempt to step up its influence in the region.
Blair's official spokesman, on customary condition of anonymity in line with policy, acknowledged British officials "still believed Iranian supplied ordinance is coming across the border"
But Blair said the decision to withdraw was made because the south had "no Sunni insurgency, no al Qaida base, little Sunni on Shia violence." Baghdad, however, was suffering from what he called an "orgy of terrorism unleashed upon it in order to crush any possibility of it functioning"

They didn't play like it. Kansas nearly pulled off an improbable victory against Oklahoma Wednesday before eventually falling 76-70.
"I thought they fought, scrapped, and competed every possession for 40 minutes," Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said, "They just did a terrific
From the opening tip-off, where Jayhawk 5-foot-9 freshman guard Kelly Kohn out-leaped 6-3 Oklahoma forward Ashley Paris, to senior guard Sharita Smith's second pointer of the season with 23 seconds remaining, Kansas played with a never-say-die attitude.
"Definitely we showed a lot of heart tonight and a lot of improvement," Kohn said. "We wouldn't have done that earlier in the season and that shows a lot about our team."
Soonerforward Courtney Paris.an
All American, had her 53rd straight double double with 32 points and 13 rebounds. Despite her standout performance, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson didn't think the sophomore won the game for Oklahoma.
"Courtney did what we thought shed be capable of," she said. "We needed to step up and guard the complementary players better."
Henrickson was referring to Oklahoma guard Britney Brown. The senior came off of the bench to score 14 points and, more importantly, played suffocating defense
on Kansas senior guard Shaquna Mosley.
At halftime, Mosley's 15 points made it look like she was on pace to set a career high on her senior night and that the Sooners had no answer. Enter Brown. In the second half, Brown held Mosley to 2-for-7 from the field and forced her to commit six turnovers.
"Shaq was really hurting us," Coale said, "and Brittany's our best on-ball defender as far as limiting

Brady Morningstar and Brennan Bechard played together in junior high at Southwest Junior High (inset). The two players went on to play against each other in high school, then eventually became teammates once again at the University of Kansas.

Freshman guard Brady Morningstar and sophomore guard Brennan Bechard poured on the points against the previously undefeated Santa Fe Trail, ballooning the lead to nearly 30 points and allowing reserves to play most of the fourth quarter.

minutes of Saturday's blowout victory against Nebraska, adding insult to injury for the 'Huskers with a three-pointer from the wing.
"I've always been a three-point shooter, so I figured that was my best shot to get on the board." Bechard said.
"He could really shoot the ball." Lewis said. "We always gave him a tough time about his defense, though."
Lewis said the team was tightknit because many had played together in the off-season for years before.
"They liked to razz each other," he said. "Brady and Brennan were both pretty goofy."
David Freeman, Lawrence sophomore, played with both Morningstar
and Bechard at Southwest. He said the team suffered the consequences of joking around when Bechard threw a battery against a wall in the auditorium before practice one afternoon.
"It exploded and it was so loud," Freeman said. "It probably would've killed someone if it hit them."
Lewis recalled the battery incident as well.

Star freshmen average double digits
After an impressive outing Monday night against Kansas State, freshman guard Sherron Collins is now averaging 10 points per game this season.
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
This ranks the two freshmen fourth and fifth on the team in scoring, an impressive feat considering they aren't even in the starting lineup.
Freshman forward Darrell Arthur is also averaging double-digits, with 10.8 points per game.
Both players performed well in Manhattan, making plays in the clutch that are tough for some veterans.
"I wouldn't even call them freshmen right now. They just stepped up big," junior guard Russell Robinson said of the two freshmen.
Arthur also managed to stay out of foul trouble, having notched just one foul in each of the previous
two games, something that came in handy when sophomore guard Brandon Rush found himself in foul trouble early in the game. Being able to play smart may also be an indication that Arthur is on more stable footing now that he has played several games.
"He's been a freshman," coach Bill Self said. "He's had some great moments, some bad moments and some average moments. He's on an uptick right now. He's relaxed a
bit and is playing not so sped up offensively."

Self was just happy that none of the birds hit him, which happened his first year in Manhattan. Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers was disappointed that he didn't see it.

Students should always wear blue
BASILIC
BY JONATHAN KEALING
NSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
JKEALING@KANSAN.COM
The horror! Dean Smith came to a Kansas basketball game wearing Carolina Blue.
Every individual in Bramlage Colliase not wearing Jayhawk Blue, and there weren't many in the blue hue this year, was wearing black. The crowd extended like one dark mass up into the rafters. On TV, it looked very impressive.
Now, imagine how it would look in the seats of Allen Fieldhouse where many of the seats are already blue. A little coordination in shirts and there's a chance to truly recreate a sea of blue here in the middle of Kansas.
I could hear the gnashing of teeth for miles around when Smith stood up and the crowd realized he wasn't wearing the beloved Crimson and Blue, but instead chose the despipped powder blue. After the game, Smith told several members of the local media that he didn't even think about what color he was putting on.
Judging by the outcry regarding Dean's blazer, and the comments I got this past week after my column, it should be obvious that the color you wear to a basketball game — or any sporting event, for that matter — can send a powerful message. We saw what a difference a little coordination can make when the Jayhawks traveled to Manhattan for the semi-annual installment of the Sunflower Showdown.
OK, Dean, fine. I don't begrudge you anything. In fact, I celebrate you as one of the best basketball alumni this University has produced, but please, take a minute and look at what you put on next time you return — and I hope you come back many times — to Allen Fieldhouse.
Ryan Grass, St. Louis junior, sent a letter to the editor this week on the very same topic. I'm going to reiterate some of what he wrote
"Such a display of sports solidarity (at K-State) was amazing, a touch intimidating and more than a little embarrassing. It becomes all the more embarrassing when one realizes that this shouldn't be that hard to do! There's a store on every street

Collins ultimate clutch player
$ \mathrm {h} $ under stand that he's just a freshman. Freshmen are not supposed to be this clutch. Freshmen are not supposed to — as the overused sports clinic goes — have ice water in their veins.
BY CLMOORE
Most players would like to think the same of themselves. They say they live for the big moments. They want the ball when the game is on the line in a packed arena where they can't hear themselves think. They love pressure. They play their best when the lights are on.
Most players are liars.
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
CJMOORE@KANSAN.COM
But not Collins. He has proven that he revels in pressure situations. The Jayhawks have played five close games in conference play — the rest have been blowouts. These five games were all played on national television; the four-point victory at Iowa State, the three-point victory against Missouri at home, the five-point loss at Texas Tech, the three-point loss to Texas A&M and Monday's nine-point victory at Allen Fieldhouse West.
In these five games, Collins has averaged 16.2 points per game (6.2 points more than his average), shot 65.6 percent from the field, 52.4 percent from three-point range and went 8-for-10 from the free-throw line — all above his season averages.
Collins has been at his best in two of these games — Missouri and K-State — when the game was on the line. He scored seven of the layhawks' final nine points against the Tigers and scored 10 of his 20 points in the final 11 minutes Monday night. And without the freshman point guard, Kansas probably would have lost both games, especially the Missouri game.
Colms is the anti-jason Bennie, the 7-foot-3 waste of space freshman Wildcat (zero points, nine fouls and one rebound in two games against the layhawks). Unlike the Big Whiner from K-State, Collins just plays ball. In the clutch, Collins plays as though he's playing in a weekend pickup game. He doesn't get nervous. He doesn't realize his age. He doesn't have a deer-in-headlights look about him.
This happens to some players every once in a while. They get in what they like to call "the zone." The game slows down. They feel like they can't miss. Their nerves disappear.
This is pretty much every game for Collins. It's why he's going to go down as a Kansas legend some day and put the jayhawks back in the Final Four multiple times (knock on wood).
Collins' cool demeanor in pressure-packed situations makes him a unique player and he didn't need much else to make him unique. After all, Collins defies what he
should be able to do with his body type. He shouldn't have that many gears. He shouldn't be that quick and balanced. People who are 5-9 and weigh 200 pounds should be dunking doughnuts, not dunking basketballs (And yes, Collins is listed at 5-11 and Brittney Spears once claimed to be a virgin).
Earlier this season Bill Self was asked if he knew who he would go to at the end of a game when his team needed just one basket.
Self said, yeah, he knew. Hed go to Mario Chalmers. That made sense at the time. But if Self was asked this same question today and didn't answer Collins, he should be locked in his office and forced to watch the previous mentioned five games over and over and over again.
Self has had Collins finishing games as of late. He made the mistake of pulling Collins in the Texas A&M game after he turned the ball over trying to force feed the post. Collins had scored 18 points in that game and when he left the game, the Jayhawks didn't have anybody on the court who wanted to shoot down the stretch. Coincidentally — or not — the Jayhawks lost that game.
So when the NCAA tournament rolls around and Kansas needs a basket, Self should turn to Collins. He might just be a freshman, but he isn't scared.

Red Sox still expecting player Ramirez's absence from spring training remains mystery
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Manny Ramirez's absence from Red Sox camp is becoming a bit of a mystery.
The enigmatic slugger received permission from the team to report late to spring training for family reasons — but he was slated to attend a car auction in New Jersey on Saturday, according to the promoter of the event.
It wasn't immediately clear if the club was aware of Ramirez's scheduled appearance at the Atlantic City Classic Cars Auction. Boston's first full squad workout is Thursday. Under the collective bargaining agreement, the deadline for players to report to camp is next Tuesday.
Ramirez was with her in Florida.
Boston general manager Theo Epstein said Wednesday that Ramirez has an excused absence and will report on March 1 for the second straight year. On Monday, pitcher Julian Tavarez. Ramirez's close friend, said the slugger's mother recently had surgery and
"He's got a family situation," Epstein said in Fort Myers, Fla. "I think the important thing from our perspective at this point is when he does show up on March 1 that he's ready to go, accountable to his teammates, accountable to the organization."
But later Wednesday, Ramirez's plans to appear at the car show surfaced in a report posted on The Boston Globe's Web site. It said Ramirez mother's condition might prevent him from attending — and it wasn't known when the appearance was initially scheduled.
Louise Cunningham, who works for G. Potter King, the Berlin, N.J., car dealer promoting the auction, told The Associated Press that Ramirez was still expected at the event.
"All we know, he's coming at noon on Saturday, nothing else," she said.
Ramirez is a collector of classic cars. His 1967 four-door Lincoln
Continental Sedan convertible is listed in Saturday's auction as number 1747A. In parentheses on the auction list is a note: Owned by Manny Ramirez.
Epstein said he spoke Tuesday with Ramirez's agent, Greg Genske. The GM also said manager Terry Francona had talked with Genske and Ramirez. But Epstein made no mention of the car show.
Another big-money outfielder, J.D. Drew, showed up at camp with no complaints about the Red Sox adding conditions to his new contract to protect them in case he re-i-makes his shoulder.
Drew said he's as healthy as he ever been in his career and he's sure his right shoulder will hold up throughout the duration of his $70 million, five-year deal.
"Absolutely," Drew said. "I've been in a situation over the last three years where I've changed some things in the way I kind of manage myself off the field, and that's really paid off."

The good, bad and ugly
Rankings, records outline NCAA tournament outlook
BY MARK DENT
Before conference season started, Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie and Kansas coach Bill Self said the conference was the deepest it has been in years. Well, their prediction was a bit off.
The Big 12 Conference ranks sixth of the six BCS conferences in the Ratings Percentage Index and is starting to lose its reputation as a quality basketball conference. In 2002 and 2003, the Big 12 sent six teams to the tournament each year and had two teams in the Final Four each year. It would take a miracle for either of those things to happen this season.
When the tournament selection committee picks teams, it doesn't discriminate based on conference. It picks teams based on key victories, strength of schedule, overall record and RPL.
"You have to, in your head, weight it out and think, 'which team could beat another team,' ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla said after Monday's game in Manhattan. "It's more about individual teams than conferences."
The Big 12 still has a chance to get five teams, but only three are guaranteed at this point.
Start the Dance Party Early (These teams are in)
Kansas (24-4, 11-2) RPI: 17
Key Victories — Florida, Boston College, Oklahoma State
Bad losses — Oral Roberts, DePaul What's left — At this point it doesn't matter. Kansas has hit its stride. A home game against Texas and an away game against Oklahoma could be challenging, but the Jayhaws should cruise to the Big 12 Tournament.
The bottom line — Kansas will get a No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament if it wins out, including the Big 12
Tournament, More than likely, the layjays will have a No. 2 seed.
Texas A&M (23-4, 11-2) RPI: 14
Key Victories — Kansas, Texas,
Oklahoma State (twice)
Bad Losses — Texas Tech (twice)
What's Left — The Aggies still have
to play at Texas but otherwise have
an excellent chance to win out.
The bottom line — Texas A&M
is in the same shoes as Kansas. It's
possible that both will receive No.
2 seeds.
Texas (20-7, 10-3) RPI: 47
Key Victories — Arkansas,
Oklahoma State; Texas Tech (twice)
Bad Losses — Kansas State
What's Left — A home game with
Texas A&M gives Texas a chance to
finish second in the Big 12.
The bottom line — The Longhorns
were on the bubble until last week
when they blew out Oklahoma State
and Texas Tech. Two knocks on
Texas are that it has lost to all of its
quality non-conference opponents
and has a high RPI.
Hey, It Could Happen (One or two of these teams will probably make it)
Kansas State (19-9, 8-5) RPI: 50
Key Victories — Texas, USC
Bad Losses — California, New Mexico, Nebraska
What's Left — The Wildcats play Oklahoma State Feb. 27 in Stillwater.
That game could decide both teams' NCAA Tournament fates.
The bottom line — Fraschini said K State had a 50-50 chance to make it. Two victories in the Big 12 Tournament would help the Wildcats a lot.
Oklahoma State (19-8, 5-7) RPI:
Key Victories - Pittsburgh.
Missouri State, Syracuse
Bad Losses — Colorado, Missouri
What's Left — Oklahoma State, win-
less on the play, plays three of its last
four games away from home. Uh-oh.
The bottomline — The Cowboys will
not make the NCAA Tournament.
They are too pitiful on the road and
will play their way out.
Texas Tech (17-11, 6-7) RPI: 41
Key Victories — Kansas, Texas
A&M (twice), Arkansas
A&M (twice), Arkansas
Bad Losses — Nebraska, Baylor
What's Left — The Red Raiders should win their last three games. They play Oklahoma State, Baylor and Iowa State.
The bottom line — Few teams in the country can match the three victories against top 10 teams that Texas Tech has. But the Red Raiders have been too inconsistent and need to win their last three games and two games in the Big 12 Tournament to make it.
Do You Believe in Miracles? (This team has a slim chance)
Missouri (17-9, 6-7) RPI: 73
Key Victories — Arkansas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State
Bad Losses — Iowa State, Nebraska What's Left — The Tigers have two winnable games before playing at Texas A&M in their season finale.
The bottom line — If Mizzou wins its last three games and wins one game in the conference tournament,
the selection committee will have a tough choice to make. The Tigers' RPI could still be too high for them to make it.

He said he called the team in and demanded to know who had thrown the battery, which put a dent in the wall. Bechard stepped up and admitted his guilt.
"They earned some E.C.O. that day," Lewis said, adding that E.C.O. stood for "extra conditioning opportunities."
Freeman said he kept in touch with many of the players from the team and that they still talked about Bechard's infamous battery toss and the following punishment.
"Sprints, wall sits, just about any kind of conditioning activity you can think of, we did it," he said.
Despite the antics before practice that day, Lewis said the team left a legacy at the junior high that won't soon be forgotten.
"They took a lot of pride in wearing the Southwest jersey," he said. "With Brady, the way he carried himself, how he was coachable and just how much of a complete player he was, you could just tell he was going to be a special player."
As for their only loss while wearing the Southwest uniform, Morningstar was out with a separated shoulder that hed hurt running into a screen during a victory against the same team two weeks prior.
"I kept saying 'Coach, I can play, put me in' but he made me sit out." Morningstar said. Things would've turned out differently if hed played, he said. "I know we would have won."
After finishing ninth grade at Southwest, the two split ways during high school. Morningstar attended Lawrence Free State and Bechard was across town at Lawrence High.
The two teams met in sub-state play and Morningstar hit a game.
winning shot to end Lawrence Highs season.
"In a lot of people's minds, that shot was the start of a lot of big things to come." Lewis said.
Morningstar agreed.
"It was good to have a friend on the team from the start," Bechard said.

BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Big-game atmospheres
Festivities seem to follow Kansas wherever it travels. Three weeks ago in Lincoln, Nebraska fans held a "Red Out," where all the fans wore red. Similarly, Manhattan held a "Black Out" on Monday during the Kansas State game. Next Monday the Jayhawks travel to Norman to face the Oklahoma Sooners. Two years ago fans there held a "White
Out." If they repeat that, it would be the third monochromatic crowd of the year for the Jayhawks.
"I like playing in hostile environments, when the crowd is against us," Collins said.
Rush said that there was nothing better than defeating a pumped up crowd.
"I love shutting up the crowd after the game with a big win in

Ryan, I couldn't have said it any better.
Getting the crowd to wear one color at Kansas shouldn't require flash videos, it shouldn't require letters to the editor and it shouldn't require the campaign of one overly self-important sports columnist.
All it requires is you. Well, and the guy next to you. And the one next to him.
In which case, remember. Kansas State has already done it. Do you want to let them tell you that they're better at anything than you?
The Jayhawks play their last home game of the season on March 3 when the University of Texas comes to town. Texas is famous for its Burnt Orange pride, and more than one of the fans they
bring will probably be in that color
The game will be broadcast on CBS to a vast swath of the nation. What a chance to show what Kansas fans can do.
Tell your friends, tell your family and tell the old men you see at the game this Saturday: Wear Kansas Blue on March 3.

NASCAR may consider ethanol
BY CHRIS JENKINS ASSOCIATED PRESS
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — While working for General Motors in Brazil in the 1990s, Brent Dewar got a firsthand look at the country's successful switch from an oil-based economy to ethanol.
Dewar wants to see the same thing happen in the United States, and he thinks NASCAR can help. Hes lobbying officials to consider a switch from gasoline to ethanol.
"We would embrace it," said Dewar, GM's vice president of field sales, service and parts. "We think it would be great on a lot of fronts, because obviously it would send a signal to the public."
Other racing series already are embracing renewable fuels. Beginning this season, the Indy Racing League's IndyCar Series will race on 100 percent ethanol, and the American LeMans Series will race on a 10 percent ethanol blend.
Now, Dewar and others in the garage said they believe NASCAR should explore alternative fuels.
"Without a doubt, I think we should look into it," driver Jeff Burton said. "Although our impact on environmental issues is probably very, very small from an actual use standpoint, from a marketing standpoint, we could have a major impact."
NASCAR is taking one step in the direction of environmental responsibility by getting the lead out, catching up with a change most consumers made in the 1980s by switching from leaded to unleaded fuel.
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said officials are willing to consider renewable fuels, too.
"In terms of looking at the next step, obviously were open to options," Poston said.
NASCAR driver Kyle Petty thinks the whole country will use renewable fuels at some point, so it makes sense for NASCAR and its fuel supplier Sunoco to lead the way.
"You would like to think that they would take a leading role in it, especially through Sunoco's involvement," Petty said.
NASCAR teams would have to modify their cars to run on ethanol, but Dewar said the switch wouldn't be a "major investment," and it would be worth the hassle.

Manager trying to find positions for players
BY ALAN ESKEW ASSOCIATED PRESS
SURPRISE, Ariz. — There will be no tardy slips, no late arrivals, no visa hold ups. All 59 players have shown up at the Kansas City Royals' spring training camp.
"Everybody is here." Royals manager Buddy Bell said Wednesday.
"That is quite unusual. That is a good sign."
Although Kansas City has lost at least 100 games in each of its last three seasons (100 losses in 2006, 106 in 2005 and 104 in 2004), Bell is optimistic about this year.
"The chemistry is good. The guys we brought in are good people, too, so it is a pretty easy group to handle." Bell said.
With the first official full squad workout today, the Royals have few position spots open. Bell said.
"But there's a lot of things we have to decide as far as the versatility of our guys. Where do they fit? Where are they going to play? How often are they going to play? There's a lot more decisions that we need to make this spring as opposed to last year. We've got a lot more options," he said.
Key offseason acquisitions were pitchers Gil Mel Mele, Octavio Dotel and David Riske, all free agents. The Royals must figure out who will fill the final two rotation slots and three bullpen spots.
Alex Gordon, who hit 325 with 39 doubles and 29 home runs last season in the Texas League, will be given every opportunity to win the third-base job. If he has a solid spring training, then Mark Teahen will move from third base to right field.
"Teahen is going to get most of his work in right field." Bell said.
"Brownie (Emil Brown) is going to do all of his work in left field."
Brown, who started 48 games in right field last year, led the team with 81 RBI.
If Teahen, Delesus and Brown are the starting outfielders, it's unclear what will happen with veteran outfielder Reggie Sanders, one of only six players in the majors to have 300 career home runs and 300 stolen bases, Sanders, the Opening Day right fielder last year, had knee surgery on Aug. 31 and hit just .246 in 88 games.
"Reggie certainly fits somewhere in there. He can DH and he can play
left and can play right," Bell said. "He's a versatile guy."
Bell said Teahen would hit third, and Mike Sweeney, who appeared in only 60 games last year because of back injuries, would bat cleanup.
Utility players Esteban German, who hit .326 in 106 games last season, and Ross Gload, who hit .327 in 77 games with the Chicago White Sox, could make it into the lineup at different positions.
Bell said Gload would get some time at first and in the outfield, while German will be used "just about everywhere."
"He'll play all four infield positions and we'll probably use him in the outfield," Bell said.
John Buck, the starter the past two seasons, and Jason LaRue, who was acquired in a November trade with the Cincinnati Reds, will be battling for the catching job.
"I would personally like to have a guy just emerge as the No. 1 guy," Bell said. "That is the way I would like to do it. If they make it hard on us and we can't just make a decision on who is ahead of the other, then we'll have to be creative enough to get them both some time."

'Duke' returns to ring without trace of HIV
BY TIM DAHLBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tommy Morrison was in his hotel room, talking about life. love and Mike Tyson when he suddenly grew silent for a couple of seconds.

Even more important was what was negative. He had taken several HIV tests,
Morrison said, and they showed no trace of the virus that causes AIDS

are all gone. So is the $16 million he earned in the ring, and the manager he claims took a big portion of it.
He's in a hotel room far from the glittering lights of the Las Vegas Strip, a new fiance at his side and what he says is a new lease on his life. He fights Thursday night in a scheduled four rounder for a few hundred dollars, hoping it will lead to a contract for bigger gifts with promoter
Bob Arum.
The wife, the kids and the house
He's been training seriously for a few months now. He believes he can win the heavyweight title, believes he can be bigger than ever.
"I was one of the most popular fighters of

my era." Morrison said. "I believe this time around it will be even bigger."
The day before the fight he talked about the time he spent in prison, including 125 days of solitary confinement, the drugs he took, and the ones he refused to take for a disease he now claims he never had.

"It's such a positive story; I don't know why people are not behind it," Morrison said. "It's not like Anna Nicole Smith or Britney Spears, tragic things that sell. This is a positive story, a good story."
is behind.
He wants this to be about what is ahead. But he realizes people will pay attention only because of what
The Duke, as he was known, had flowing blonde hair and a big left hook. The combination took him near the top of the heavyweight division, and landed him a role opposite Sylvester Stallone on the silver screen in Rocky V.
The story hasn't always been a pretty one.
In real life, Morrison beat George Foreman, stopped Razor Ruddock and fought Lennox Lewis. Not only could he fight, he was a white fighter
— one big reason Don King wanted to give him $4 million to meet Mike Tyson in 1996.
Date
That February in Las Vegas, he was getting ready to fight a tuneup for Tyson — Stormy Weatherts — when he refused a doctor's request for a blood sample a few days before the bout. Nevada boxing authorities said he couldn't fight without the blood test, so he came back the next day to have blood drawn.
A few hours before the fight, it was suddenly called off. Morrison had tested positive for the HIV virus.
He fought only once more;
knocking out a human punching bag named Marcus Rhode a few months later in lanan.
Then things got really bad
"Life is awfully quiet when you retire," Morrison said. "My life started spinning out of control. People thought I was crazy. My own family turned against me because I wouldn't take the medication that they were giving me because it would have killed me."
Twice he was arrested for drunken driving, one time shortly after speaking to high school students about AIDS. He got a two year prison sentence in Arkansas after plead
ing guilt to cocaine and firearms possession, and his health got so bad he was hospitalized on several occasions.
He says he's clean now and HIV free.
"I believe it was just a misdiagnosis," Morrison says. "People do make mistakes."
Jeff Kirchner of the American Academy of HIV Medicine said three separate tests would have had to be done to confirm Morrison's original sample, and that once a person tests positive he is positive for life.
More likely, Kirchner said, is
that Morrison, like Magic Johnson, has been taking HIV drugs and they have worked so well that the disease is more or less in remission. Kirchner said such patients can often function at a high level athletically, and are not at great risk to others.
"If the virus level is undetectable, the risk of passing that virus to another person is close to zero," he said.

NASCAR
Director's reputation eases transition from former job
BY JENNA FRYER ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Robin Pemberton stepped out of the spotlight when he gave up a successful career as a top-level crew chief following the 2001 season.
Six years later, he's a far bigger star than he ever wanted to be.
NASCAR's competition director became the center of attention at Daytona as he led the crackdown on cheating. The sport-coat clad Pemberton paced through the garage investigating corruption, then grimly faced the media on three consecutive days to announce the toughest penalties in NASCAR history.
"We're going to grab this one by the horns," Pemberton said on Day One.
"We've got people's attention now" he declared on Day Two.
"You couldn't stage this stuff, even if you wanted to," he wearily offered on Day Three.
It was trying times for Pemberton, one of the first people in the garage and one of the last to leave each day as he worked with NASCAR's top officials to prevent the Daytona 500 from becoming a joke.
When the race finally began last Sunday, six crew members had been thrown out of the garage. $250,000 in fines had been levied and five drivers had been docked points. Most important, NASCAR had convinced a skeptical racing community the Daytona 500 would be fair.
"I don't think there's any doubt that Robin has helped NASCAR's credibility and confidence among the competitors," NASCAR president Mike Helton said. "He is a nice complement to the NASCAR staff, particularly as it relates to the high
visibility of the competition department."
Pemberton, who led Rusty Wallace to 15 victories, joined the staff almost
and he's still trying to get comfortable in the job.
"The transition from being on one side of the fence to the other, how I manage relationships, how I work the garage area and work

the teams, it's something that takes a while to figure out," said Pemberton, who spent 22 years working side-by-side with the people he now novices
When he left Wallace's team after 230 races — a streak that had

chief.
But after brief stints with Petty Enterprises and Ford Racing, NASCAR woed him to a position that requires more work and even longer days than he ever put in as a crew
It was everything the 50-year-old Pemberton had been trying to escape after a career in which he missed less than a dozen races since 1979.
'I won't be the first to admit that
plan didn't really go right for me," he said. "Maybe it's because I always worked seven days a week, even before I was in racing. I just gravitate to jobs that take seven days a week."
Because of Pemberton's experience in the garage and the relationships he had built, NASCAR felt he was the perfect fit.
The competitors agree.
"Robin brings a perspective to our sport that, for someone in that job, is much needed," said Jeff Burton. "He is someone who has been there recently, understands how this thing works, understands the mentality of the teams. It used to be that NASCAR never had that. It was their group, and it was our group."
"But Robin has made NASCAR understand some things and made us understand some things. He's very open-minded. He's very fair. He's easy to talk to, and he's not
afraid to disagree with you."
It's important that Pemberton retain all those qualities. He had the unpleasant task of removing Michael Waltrip's competition director from the garage last week after the team was caught using a fuel additive before qualifying.
Pemberton has known Bobby Kennedy for years and did his best to keep the escorted walk out of the garage professional, not a perp walk.
"I've got a really strong relationships with quite a few people in the garage area," he said. "The trick now is maintaining those relationships from being able to go in the back (of the NASCAR truck) to going to have dinner with a friend.

"You look at those cars as dots on the screens, not as drivers or numbers," he said. "I have no problem with that."

Competitors face tight match on tough course
BY DOUG FERGUSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARANA, Ariz. — Tiger Woods got the first match out of the way Wednesday, although this time he had to work for it.
One year after he set a tournament record with a 9-and-8 victory in the opening round, Woods relied on a big pair save early and a near ace on the 14th hole to put away Ryder Cup teammate JJ. Henry, 3 and 2, in the Accenture Match Play Championship.
For the second straight year, Stephen Ames had the shortest day.
He was on the losing end of that record rent by Woods at La Costa, but experienced the flip side of this fickle tournament by making seven birds in 11 holes to bury Robert Karlsson of Sweden, 8 and 7.
Fourth-seeded Phil Mickelson got a minor scare, trailing fellow lefty Richard Green of Australia and not taking the lead until the 14th hole. Mickelson won, 1-up when Green missed a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole.
Jim Furky, the No. 2 seed, also trailed at the turn until making three straight birdies and beating Brett Quigley, 2 and 1.
Shaun Micheel, who ended Woods' worldwide winning streak last September by beating him in the first round of the World Play Championship, was up to his old tricks. He knocked out one of the top seeds — Adam Scott at No. 3 — in 21
holes. Scott made a birdie on the 18th to force extra holes, then three putted on No.3, missing a 5-foot parut.
Woods said only the score made it look like an easy day.
"It was actually a pretty tight match," Woods said. "J.I. hit a lot of beautiful putts in the middle part of the round and on even on the back nine, and those putts just didn't go in. Had they gone in it might have been a different story."
Woods advanced to face Tim Clark of South Africa, a 3-and-2 winner over Robert Allenby.
Some feel this might be the toughest hurdle in Woods' unlikely quest to win 11 straight PGA Tour events, the record by Nelson set over five months in 1945. But on a warm day of swirling winds in the high desert
— and on The Gallery course with tight pins — he did himself a favor by not getting behind.
But there was one close call.
Woods pulled his tee shot into the desert on the second hole and was lucky to have a play. He hit the ball short of the green, and his pitch stayed on the front of the green some 20 feet from the hole. Henry, meanwhile, had a 12-foot birdie putt and was poised to go 1-up.
But the holed was halved when Woods made the putt and Henry missed his. Two holes later, Woods won with a par and never trailed.
"Hitting the ball in the desert like this, it's pot luck," Woods said. "I had a shot. More than likely, I should have been in a bush or some kind
of unplayable (lie), and j. J. should have won the hole with a 4. But I got lucky, got a break and was able to make a putt".
He was 2-up until the 14th, when his 8-iron spun back to within a foot of the cup for birdie.
Ames, who grew up in Trinidad and Tobago and now lives in Calgary, didn't even realize he had won the match after chipping in for birdie on the 11th and final hole.
Mickelson, coming off a victory at Pebble Beach and a playoff loss at Riviera, was surprised to see the pins tucked on the corners, especially on smooth greens that dropped off at the edges.
"I thought they were ridiculous," Mickelson said. "But everyone had to play them, so it was fair. You couldn't play aggressively. You had to play defensively away from the flags."
That worked out for him when he holed a 35-foot birdie on the 13th hole to square the match, then won the 14th and 16th with pars and hung on for the victory.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
JUPITER, Fla. — The last time Adam Wainwright was on the mound he was closing out the World Series clinching victory for the St. Louis Cardinals. The next time the right-hander pitches a meaningful game, it likely will be as a starter in the team's rebuilt rotation.
But Wainwright isn't assuming anything.
"I'm competing to start," Wainwright, 25, said Wednesday. "Saying to myself I'm starting right now is selling short a couple of big names and big arms in this clubhouse and I am not going to do that."
MLB
Still, Wainwright is expected to open the season as part of the rotation, as long as closer Jason Isringhausen doesn't suffer a setback in his rehabilitation from hip surgery. It was Isringhausen's injury that thrust Wainwright into the closer's role last October, one the rookie handled with poise.
Wainwright's ability to command four pitches made him a top prospect as a starter in the Braves and Cardinals organizations, where he was 49-40 with a 3.76 ERA in 135 minor league starts.
Then, for the first time in his career, he found himself pitching out of the bullpen. Working mostly as the setup reliever until taking over the closer role for lrishinghausen, Wainwright had a 3.12 ERA in 75 innings during the regular season and four saves in the postseason.
"I feel like I could help this team either way but I grew up starting." Wainwright said. "I always wanted to start in the big leagues so that is another thing I get to say I have done if I get to do it but at the same time there's nothing like getting those last three outs."
$SAVE | USED AUTO PARTS | SAVE$
Wainwright did not allow an earned run in 9 2/3 postseason innings and saved the clinching games against the Mets in the NLCS and the Tigers in the World Series.

While carrying your backpack or purse on the way to class, you may also be carrying thousands of bacteria that can make your skin irritated.

If your lovely locks suffer from excess oil, Bumble and Bumble's line of hair powders provide a healthy alternative to those peeling, twice-daily shampoos. After a few quick spray of the powder on oily areas, the product absorbs the extra grease, leaving behind a dry texture more suited for styling.

DON'T SWEAT IT
LukeBall, RoelandPark sophomore, raises his hand in a lecture class, unconcerned that he has sweated through his shirt.
BLIND PUCK
MINOT, N. DAK
Living with and treating hyperhidrosis
bv Lindsev St. Clair
"I'm a real sweaty guy I can break a sweat sitting calmly in the air conditioning like seven-eyed cats to lukia Ball Rotland Park appointee
Fortunately, he's not alone. About 3 percent or 9 million Americans suffer from hyperthyroidism, which is peripherally the only need, but many are too embarrassed to be about embarrassment.
*Hyperiridism is a bigger problem than anybody knows because people don't talk about it or know that there's anything they can do*. Amy McDaniel, Target pharmacist says. But there are treatments like Hyperiridism Society founded to promote research and advocate for patient
access to treatments including antiperspirants, ionophorsis Botox injections, oral medications and ear surgery
The mildest treatment can be found at local drugstores. Unique regular antiperspirant, Certain Dri is 12 percent aluminum chloride, McDaniel says. Although aluminum chloride works by clogging sweat ducts, not much is actually absorbed so you may apply it at bedtime and use a deodorant spray or deodorant during the day.
If Certain Drs don't produce the desired results, doctors can prescribe Drysol, a solution with 20 percent aluminum chloride.
Apply Drysol at bedtime to a dry surface and wash it off in the morning so it doesnt stain clothes, say Dee Anna Glacea, a founding member and secretary of the International Hyperthidrosis Society Dry溶 can sting, so don't apply it after shaving (the pain is excruciating). Also, apply a
regular non-antiperspirant deodorant during the day.
If sweating is most problematic on the hands and feet and Drysol isn't cutting it try ionophytosis lontrophorus is a fancy word for immersing the hands or feet in a shallow pool of water with a mild acid. It works by mimicking Apply petroleum jelly to paper cuts, hangalns and damaged cuticles because the electric current can sting The International Hyperidrosis Society recommends a machine made by the R.A. Fischer Company The machine comes at a price about $615 at the 80-percent effective in stopping sweating completely.
The FDA recently approved Botox injections to treat hyperhidrosis. Although Botox might sound scary, it's one of the most effective around and is more than 60 percent effective, Glaser says.
Simple sweat solutions
$\rightarrow$ Shower daily to reduce the amount of bacteria on your skin.
→ Apply antiperspirants in the morning and before you go to bed.
N
> Wear fabrics that breathe such as cotton wool and silk.
→ Use "dress shields" pads applied to the inside of the shirt) to absorb pit sweat.
→ Change clothes frequently.
Put sweat-absorbing inserts inside your shoes.
Botox prevents the release of transmitters from nerve endings to sweat glands. Unfortunately, it wears off and injections are required every 6 months. Each treatment costs $1,200 to 1,500 for the underarms and $2,000 or more for the hands.
→ Change socks frequently
→ Don't drink caffeinated drinks, hot drinks or alcohol.
*Relax Take a yoga or meditation class at the Restored Recreation and Fitness Center to control stress.

Glaser says. Many insurance companies cover the injections
if all else fails, some doctors will prescribe oral medications. However, none are approved by the FDA for the treatment of hyperthidrosis, Glaeser says. Like Botox, oral medications
work by preventing the release of transmitters, but with more side effects, including dry mouth, blurred vision, impaired speech and taste, difficulty chewing and swallowing, uninary retention, constipation and heart palpitations.
If none of these treatments work, doctors may consider surgery to remove sweat glands. However, as a side effect, many patients develop compensatory sweating, usually on the back, chest, abdomen, legs, face or buttocks.
Luke. Ball takes a different approach.
"To avoid embarrassment,
tell people to check my pit stains.
he says. For the more
conservative types, he suggests
colors and lightwight clothing But always,
wear deodorant.
"Be sweaty and stinky are two different things," he says. "I don't sink; I'm just constantly moist."

WHAT it's LIKE TO BE A NUDE MODEL
Kevin Honan, independence, Kau, senior is standing naked in front of a class and everyone is staring right at other people. Other people's nightmares are Honan's job — he's an art model.
As an art model, Homan poses naked on a podium while an art class sketches him for anywhere between 45 minutes to three hours, being a model is harder than people think.
"It is more than sitting and standing." Honan says. "You have to be dynamic and interesting and put thought into your poses or you'll be boring and possibly uncomfortable."
The first time was the most intimidating because he didn't know how he would react and was worried about how people thought he looked physically Honan says this passed by of class and then he now focuses on what he's doing with people do with his poxes in their drawings.

He looks at all history books and takes note of different styles and eras and watches sports and action movies to get ideas for
"I do spend time in front of the mirror seeing what looks good from an artistic standpoint." Hronan says, "There is some pride and a bit of ego involved, despite the fact that I am completely naked in a classroom full of students."

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALIE MEMER
Tom Eversole, Lawrence resident, works on a piano in his office in Malot Hall.
Play me memory
Getting to know the man who works behind the keys and before the curtains rise
PianoMan
8v Anne Weltmer
On the second floor of Murphy Hall, at the end of a halfway best accessed by a back door left jar, in an office with cement floors, neon lighting and tool chests lining the wall of the KU Music Department.
His name is Tom Eversole. In his computer chair, back turned from the door eating a Marie Callender's frozen dinner, Ewersole types a list of the musical celebrities he met. Like his office, he's casually dressed. His green button-down and gray and black plaid jackets hang under his shirt to match his thinning gray hair. He wears brown work boots.
Evensole like to be called a piano technician. He rebuilds, refinishes and, primarily, tunes all of the pianos at the University of Kansas. The job may sound antisocial, especially with his out-of-the-way office, but he's had the privilege of meeting every musician since 1974. Johnny Cash, Natalie Cole, Harry Connick, Jr. Eton Johnson, Marcellus, Arlo Gurti, Ben Folds, The Doobie Brothers.
He has several stories from working in Lawrence. His favorite story involves the sound check before Arlo Guthie's performance. When Guthie came for the sound check his hair was missing.
08-> JAYPLAY 02.22.2007
Eversole says he was astonished to find out Guthrein wore a hair piece. He also regrets not staying for the Johnny Cash show at the Celebrity concert last year, saying being tensed just wasn't worth missing the show in the end.
But the University of Kansas isn't the only place he's met famous musicians. Ewesole was born in Hollywood and grew up in the Los Angeles area. At Long Beach State University, he had a two-year stint as a business major. But because he had been playing piano since age 7, the music soon won him over.
After switching his major to music, he had Richard and Karen Carpenter, who later formed the Carpenters, and John Bettia, a singer for The Beatles classmates. He says seeing the Carpenters on their album covers after they became popular was hard for him; it was rough seeing the music business at work on his own friends. Richard, formerly the leader of The Beatles, and Karen, a girl with a great figure, has looked emaciated.
Eversole continued to play at night clubs after he graduated from college. He says he didn't have the vocal power or correct image to make it big, so he pursued classical piano.
The clubs he played were glamorous. A piano at a club would usually have the dead mouse in front of it, but the middle, 'Evengale', so Once
WHAT IS TUNING?
Here's a quote Eversole gave from The Piano Book by Larry Fine regarding piano tuning:
"Tuning means adjusting the tension of each of the piano strings (approximately 230); using a tuning hammer to turn the tuning pin, so that the sound sounds equally in harmonic."
with every other string according to certain known acoustic laws and aesthetic
Tuning is just one step in the care and maintenance of a piano and does not include repairs and other adjustments (queaky pedals broken strings, keys that won't strike). By placing the tuning hammer on a tuning pin, the pitch can be altered to the desired frequency.
he saw what was under the piano lid, he was compelled to learn more about how the instrument worked. He started learning in Los Angeles, but when his brother moved to Lawrence in 1968 to fill a faculty position at the KU English department and his parents moved back to Kansas, Eversole was quick to follow.
Heraeum to Lawrence in 1971 and got a job at Rae Bookey Keyboard, where he taught piano lessons and did organ demonstrations. There he met an elderly German immigrant named Paul Coleman who shaped his piano technology by tapping his foot on the ground because he was so insistent on Everteo learning how to tune traditionally
by ear, with a single tuning fork instead of using an electronic tuner Bender, an electronic tuner Bender 16.500 or 16.500, a fork is 512

Later, he learned the art of piano-building with a job at Jones Piano House in Kansas City, Mo., which closed in 1986. He says he saw the warehouse of old, restored pianos and soon realized he wanted piano restoration to be his life-long vocation.
"I had no idea an old piano could be brought back like that and I wanted to learn it," he says in his soft-spoken, friendly voice. He has a partially disembowled piano that he's working on sitting in his triangular-shaped office at the moment.
He pulls out a single key from a grand piano that's mounted on a wooden platform to show how complicated and interesting it is. He says there are 10,000 to 12,000 parts on a grand piano and up to 50 possible adjustments to be made to a single key. His key is learning for 20 years, he says, and there still a lot more to learn.
He worked freelance as Ewerolei Piano Service from 1971 to 2013 tuning and restoring pianos for people all over the region out of Chicago. He was also an Ewerolei, his daughter, says. He there wasn't enough demand
in Lawrence to keep him busy, so he traveled to Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri.
All of the time he spent repairing pianos, he still played.
"I HAD NO IDEA AN OLD PIANO COULD BE BROUGHT BACK LIKE THAT AND I WANTED TO LEARN IT." — TOM EVERSOLE
Ellizabeth remembers her father playing every day and how much she liked to hear it echo throughout the house.
Now he takes care of the 115 pianos in Music Hall and the Lyre Center. He's one of three related Eversolees who works on campus his brother still works in the English department and his ex wife, Ann Eversole, is the assistant vice provost.
He downplays himself so as not to take away from the performers because they are who people want to see. Evoesole says. However, this school year, he has over 200 events to tune for, and many of them take more than one hour of performance, have specific touch weights and tuning preferences for every single key he says.

SOME EXAMPLES OF ADJUSTMENTS
> How fast a note repeats
(This one can involve numerous
adjustments in the repetition lever
alone.)
→ Touch weight or amount of force it takes to propel the key with one's finger. Two and one-half units of pressure per key is ideal.
- Touch response or control of sound, getting the note to play at the anticipated amount of volume level.
> Key height: are the keys level or do they sag at different parts of the keyboard?
Do the keys travel at the right distances when depressed?
Is the sound even from one note to the next or are some notes too bright or to dull?
→ Do the pedals work when pressed with one's foot?
> Lining up the hammer hitting on the string for the optimum strike point, in order to achieve the best overall sound.
$\Rightarrow$ Adjusting the dampers so that the note sings when depressed or cuts out after releasing the key.
→ Keeping the keys clean
"Iborne, as he is fondly referred to by the Lied Center technical staff, is the best replacement that they could have ever hoped for. He says Ann Hause, Lied Center technical director He has a great sense of humor and he's good at his job, she says. Because it's not a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. job, there's all the care of the performers taking care of the performance."
He really cares about taking good care of the pianos, especially the 590,000 Steinway & Son, she says.
"I think he's thrilled to be working on it and takes pristine care of it," she says. To him, she says, it's not just a piano. He takes interest in it and the musicians who play it.
Hause says Eversole even plays it himself after his turnings. She says he plays the K-State fight songs for the team, which is the associate technical director.
In his lifetime, Eversole thinks he's tuned over 22,000 piano, and his arm is playing for it. He's taken a Cortizone shot in his shoulder to alleviate some of the problems. He intends to stay at the University and keep tuning, though. He's been playing the piano since he was 7 years old, and he's not stopping now.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MONTHS,

on FACEBOOK.COM. SHOULD I
DO IT MYSELF? DO YOU THINK
THERE'S A REASON FOR THIS?
—— ALICE SYSPHORME
If it's been months and it's clear that you're in an exclusive relationship, then it should be clear on Facebook as well if that makes him uncomfortable then:
a) He's seeing someone else or (in some cases) another person
b) He's afraid of commitment
c) He's embarrassed by you
d) All of the above
Your choices are:
a) Settle for someone who feels like he's settling for you
b) Blose your self-respect
c) Walk away

MY GIRLFRIEND REFUSES TO GET TESTED FOR STDS, BUT I TOLD HER I WANT HAVE SEX WITH HER UNTIL SHE DOES. SHE SEEMED TO FEEL REJECTED BY THIS. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
GREG. SENIOR
Your girlfriend's Bermuda Triangle has obviously sucked in a few sailors, and who knows which ones had scurvy, ... or more pertinent to you a VD. She probably just afraid to find out the truth, as her cochook might have caught something that could be costly and, depending on what she's got deadly.
Don't do the deed until she's seen a doctor. You should help her out by paying for the procedure and realize that, unlike peeing in a cup, the standard for men, the procedure for women is much more invasive.
MY BOYFRIEND SAID HE WANTS TO PEE ON ME DURING SEX, I GOT TOTALLY FREAKED OUT, BUT HE TOLD ME TO "JUST THINK ABOUT IT." IS THIS NORMAI?
SANDY, JUNIOR
It sounds like a dog marking his territory, but its called urophilia and it's actually practiced by a small but significant percentage of humans. Should you give it a try? Maybe you should watch the movie *Golden Girls* before you do... these golden girls aren't four little old ladies. After that, if you're feeling like a golden shower, go ahead and try it. But if the thought isn't leaving you feeling
too clean, then go ahead and tell him

Truckstop Honeymoon
Q&A
Katie Ellis and Mike West the Bang-pickin' plass-hunklin' couple who are Truckstop Honeymoon, spent their wedding night on the road in Louisiana. They lost their house to Hurricane KATINA, and when they aren't traveling the world on tour, they now call lawrence home. They rented a studio apartment and she picked up her daughter from a nature class at Prairie Park Nature Center in Lawrence.
Q: DID YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND REALLY HAVE A TRUCK STOP HONEYMOON?
We had a gig on our wedding night in Lafayette, La. We played all night in this disgusting, smoky bar, and we were so tired driving home that we had to stop at this place called the Tiger Truck Stop. It's this seedy place that has live tigers pacing around in these horrible cages and hotel rooms. The sun is shining up to a well-lit area and slept under the new glow of the truck stops light.
Q: HOW WOULD YOU CLASSIFY YOUR SOUND?
Q: HOW HAS HURRICANE KATRINA CHANGED YOUR LIVES?
We had a lot of depression about losing our home, but I think we landed on our feet, and we've been nothing but constructive and positive about the change it felt like a blessing in the end. We've come to understand the company to where we need it to have to worry about getting what to going to milk for the kids.
Q: DO YOU AND MIKE WRITE YOUR SONGS TOGETHER?

the idea of making an album of figurings

Think twice about ordering that "healthy salad" at the drive-thru

Health-conscious college students who eat on the run may want to rethink ordering a loaded salad at the nearest fast food restaurant. Some salads pack on more fat, calories and cholesterol than traditional fried foods. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCBM), a nonprofit group
The group found that the McDonalds Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad has more

much cholesterol as a Big

"you have to be wary of these bigger chains. They're not trying to cater to food, says staffician with the PCM.
To avoid extra calories at the drive-thru, be cautious of salads advertised as *crispy* or *crunchy*, like *creamy* or *fried*. *fried* and *sayon* are slow. Aim for fast food restaurants that allow you to make your own salads and choose mixins in these stores. Be sure to beets and other brightly colored
vegetables, Levin says. Most meat, if not lean, adds extra calories and unnecessary fat, she says. Even if its skinless, hot chicken its still high in fat "Top tomatoes or beef or kidney beans for protein."
Lona Sandon, a registered dietician and national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, agrees that nurses are usually a good option because you must order with caution.
"Choose low-fat dressing, and even with that, use half the packet of dressing to the amount of some calories." Sandon says.

SIX WAYS TO HEALTHIER FAST FOOD
1. Keep portion sizes small.
Pick smaller sandwich sizes or order half a sandwich.
Skip multiple-patty burgers and stick to regular or kid-size burgers. Load up on vegetables to keep your belly full.
2. Choose a healthier side dish. Order a fruit cup or side salad instead of fries or a baked potato.
3. Go for the greens. Get grilled meat on your salads and choose low-fat or fat-free dressing on the side of each burger, if anything, breaded meats and other fried toppings
O.pt for grilled items.
Chopped grilled or roasted
lean meats for your
meals for a lower-fat meal
5. Have it your way. Don't take your salad or sandwich as is; Ask for low-fat options, no- or low-fat mayonnaise sandwich and make the way you want it.
6. Watch what you drink.
Order diet soda, water,
unsweetened sugar tea or
sparkling water to save
hundreds of calories from sugary drinks.

"The album dabbles in a little bit of everything, from the synthesizer and drum-driven "A Good Start" to "fish Goodbye," in which Taylor tries a brazy acoustic-pop tune backed with a hop-hop style drumbeat. On "Replay" Taylor dabbles in jazz with offbeat drum accents and a light wing feel, with its catchy rhythm and showcasing her agitated side with the lyrics. "And there was nothing in my clenching fist, and I just can't wait..."

MOVIE
Breach
★★★
Director Billy Ray is like the youngest sibling who just found out that the biggest present under the tree belongs to him. The colossal gift is the true story of FB Agent Robert Hansen which would normally be reserved for a well-established Hollywood heavyweight. The movie Ray has crafted it is his sophomore effort, *Breech*.
Hansen Kansas City, MO, native Chris Cooper) is a fair man, who enjoys nothing more than a Sunday morning mass followed by a mony in the backyard with his grandchildren. But he has a secret $1.4 million worth of FB1 secrets sold to the mob. He is also a victim of the agent hopeful chosen to try to expose Hansen while posing as his aide.
The incredible story eager to unveil itself Ray employs a rather laissez faire approach. This is a smart, modest decision, and one that Ray older more egalitarian Hollywood brothers would no doubt have trouble with the young curly-brunched do with the young curly-brunched in US history at his fingerprint). Ray's only directorial upside is coating him the
overuse of his soundtrack in the early gongs — a transparent attempt to generate the response that is not properly created with the instrument. The soundtracks of thorna plating for the first 45 minutes.
Cooper elevates the performance of those around him, and deserves partial credit for completing Phillips's resurrection from a troubled childhood. Cooper plays a more or less lttwed version of his American Beauty character. Col Frank Fitts. His ability to appear so uniquely straight-laced convinces Phillips' character and the audience who both must be aware of the unpleasantness.
The attitude-action dichotomy makes for a compelling finish; the magnificently shot scene of Hansen's arrest poses wonders about his relationship with his beauty, when Fitts reveals his homosexuality.

is always a better choice for the
carnivore in you, she says.
Though fast food restaurants are on the night track by offering large salads as dinner options, Sandy says what's loaded onto these vegetable plates that is packing up the calories
"Cheese is good but it's going to add on extra calories. Sprinkles a small amount and leave off the bacon bits and those additional add-ins like fried noodles and roasted nuts," she says.
She also advises that fast food patrons hold the creations and other salty tappings, which
add more sodium to the meal.
The body only needs 1,500 milligrams of sodium a day to function properly, but most Americans eat upwards of 6,000 to 8,000 milligrams of sodium per day. Sandy says, A healthy intake to shoot for is 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams per day, she says.
If you counting calories know that women need about 1,800 a day and men can have up to 2,200 a day. Saysamon this breaks down to about 600 calories for a woman and three to a meal/day plan.
Sandon advises that
consumers factor in their drinks and side orders too, because even though a salad, such as the McDonald's Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad, may have 500 calories, what you have with that meat — water, soda or juice — makes it more nutritious for your calorie intake for that meal.
Watch your waistline by educating yourself on whats in yoursalad. Fast food restaurants keep nutrition facts updated on their Web sites for each item on their menus. Know what name of dish you mind when you are tempted by a seemingly healthy salad.

To get him to eat my mothie offered him an incentive. He could eat his favorite foods while watching TV. But just a week later, our housekeeper led by a mysterious snail, discovered his meals hidden in the bookhelves that lined our media room Moldy with creamy frosting. Fooled into Monopoly boxes and crusty old chicken fingers were hidden behind Dr Seuss books.
My brother's picky eating turned into a full-blow aversion to food. He began throwing violent tantrums at mealtime, refusing to swallow anything. My parents begin compiling research and looking for answers to his unusual behavior.
I was in the seventh grade and my brother was in the sixth when he is officially diagnosed with an observable compulsive disorder. The disease manifested itself in a severe case of anorexia, a disease that affects about 1.3 million men and has been linked to the National Association of Anorexia Nevasova and Associated Disorders Anorexia's infliction on males is rarely spoken about, as the condition has long been characterized as a woman's problem connected to body image My brother's condition was even more unusual than most women not from wanting to look like Matz, but from an extreme psychological need for control. He developed a

was a tall 11 year old but he

This disease isolate us — for years. We were no more birthday parties and no more joyous holiday celebrations. I stopped asking my friends how to celebrate, and made frank phone calls to their parents to pick up me when things got too intense at home.
The Legos and Cabbage Patch Kids lost their importance and gathered dust. I knew my childhood had ended and I was pushed toward serious adulthood too fast. I learned to fend for myself because my parents were so boarded on my education that no time we had for me for anything. We were living our lives in a fly trap, caught in a sticky glue between living and dying.
I fought the urge I had to scream at my mother, to lash out. I wanted to make him stop, to knock some sense into him somehow. I thought his delusional behavior was as desperate cry for attention. I was horrified that I was losing my closest friend. I started to resent him.

not to accept that prognosis They fought to keep him at home. They converted our guest bedroom into a hospital room of sorts. My brother spent his days in the hospital and his breast this protein-protein-rich nutrients into his body. My parents hire a day nurse, a nutritionist and a psychologist to make house calls. My mother moved a second bed into the guest room and woke up in the morning to check the night to check his vital signs and his tube. I no longer had my
mother or father to tuck in me at night, instead the dull humming and beeping of his machine was my lulability.
My family's love of care by brother worked. After months of the feeding tube, countless hours of therapy and a steady dose of medications, the illness began to lose its grip and he slowly returned to the brother and friend I had always known.
it's been nearly a day since my brother got sick. It took me a long time to forgive him for the that took control of his
body and ate up the last bits of our childhood together. The boy who once needed to be carried downstairs because of his crumbling frame now attends college eight hours from home eats junk food and still enjoys a good armfurt fight.
We find the time to chat on the phone once and awhile. We don't talk about the past; we can't change it. We can't go back to what was lost, so there's no point in feeling sad or angry anymore. We have too much lost time to make up for.

KANSAN SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR
AWETIMER@KANSAN.COM
Finding a place to live off campus for the first time can be a daunting task.
The first time I moved off the KU campus, deciding where and with whom to live and making sure I wasn't getting myself into a questionable lease are just some of the obstacles I faced.
This apartment guide is designed to give you thinking about where you're going to live next fall. It's divided into four sections that will help you find the best place to your quest to finding your perfect dwelling.
This issue covers finding the right housing situation and location. We've included a checklist that should take you all the way through the process of getting a new apartment. It's small and easy to carry around, so take it apartment hunting with you.
In the next issue, we will cover what to look for when inspecting your apartment before signing the lease, what is expected of you as the tenant and of the management company you chose, and how to review your new lease before you sign it and is too late.
From personal experience, I can say that I wish I'd asked a few more questions before moving into the apartment complex I have lived in for the past two years. For example, I never considered the possibility of being without the option of cable Internet, but our cable provider was fine. We use OLSI instead, but it has cost us more and originally barraged for.
In the third issue, you can look for stories on how to set up utilities in your name, what you can expect to pay for them, and what opportunities you have. We will give tips on getting along with your new roommates, and, if you decided that apartment living isn't for you, we'll include a story on the pros and cons of buying a house instead.
The last issue will cover all the topics related to moving in: finding a fun, yet inexpensive, way to decorate your new pad and making sure your management company has followed through with the promises they made before move-in.
Good luck in your search!

Consider options when deciding on living space
BY CHRIS HORN
This spring, KU students will rigorously search for a special place they can call home for next year. It's important for students to know what they want and where to find it, as well as which type of living arrangement best suits their lifestyle.
Apartment living is a top choice for most students because of its accessibility and all of the values that come with living in a complex.
Apartments offer an engaging social scene and allow residents to meet one another and form friendships. Some apartment complexes are very close to campus and many are along bus routes, offering students a variety of ways to get to class. R.W.SMITH, Pleasanton, Calif., junior, has lived in the dorms his first year, the layhawyer Towers his second year and is now living in an apartment off campus. He
likes the social aspects of apartment living the most.
"My apartment is socially comfortable, Smith said. "It's the ideal college atmosphere and provides a very strong opportunity to develop close friendships."
Despite the positives, Smith points out that apartment living does have its negative effects.
Occasionally, dealing with large management companies can be hit or miss when it comes to maintenance and requests. Also, because college students predominantly occupy many complexes in Lawrence, the strains of the social lifestyle can take a toll on a student's schoolwork and job. Smith intends to move next year to a west Lawrence community that has less college students, where

he thinks he can focus more.
"The farther you get from campus," Smith said, "the less likely you will be distracted by people."
Although apartments offer social networks and a lot of amenities, one KU student has enjoyed living in a house for a majority of his years at the University.
Nick Estrada, Overland Park park junior, rents a house with his partner. Nate. Estrada has lived in a house two out of his three years in Lawrence and prefers his arrangement to the dorms or apartments.
Estrada and his partner were interested in finding a residence that offered a large amount of space for Estrada's workout equipment and his partner's
Estrada and his partner have also noticed that although the benefits of a house were too good to pass up, they are spending somewhat more on house expenses than their friends who live in apartments.
band instruments. Estrada found a lot of space in the house that he chose with his partner, but has also realized that the privacy that comes along with a house is a good thing too.
Houses tend to have a single landlord rather than a management company that runs them, so residents have to do their own
"There are no noise complaints and there is a lot more freedom to have people over."

basic maintenance, such as yard work and small house repairs. Houses are also larger in square footage than most apartments, so the costs of heating and cooling the house are greater than the costs in an apartment. Also, a lot of newer apartments are switching to electric-only heating and cooling systems while a majority of the older homes surrounding
*conpus have not attempted to do this. Despite having to do most everything in his house, Estrada finds positives in his living situation.*
"Because our rent is a little lower than a lot of apartments," Estrada said, "we're paying just as much as our friends who live in apartments are."
There are other options for housing in Lawrence, but renting an off campus property works out for most people, you just have to be willing to find exactly what you need.
Stadium living requires flexibility
BY MATT ELDER
With the football season long over, many KU students who lived near Memorial Stadium encountered spring cleaning early after the seminars' tailging ended.
The Stadium View Apartment complex, 1010 Mississippi St., was often students' second choice for tailgating after Campanile hill during game days.
The complex's parking lot was often overflowing with students because of its proximity to Memorial Stadium, but it was the complex's residents who left to clean up the mess of hundreds of loyahawks fans.
lared Karol, Libertytville, III., junior, lived on the second floor at Stadium View. After the last game, Karol had to invest both his time and money to return his apartment to the way it was when he initially moved in, despite taking several precautions.
"It came to the point where we were putting down plastic lining on the carpets and leaving it there." Kolar said. "We bought 200 yards of the stuff and covered all inch of our living room and still had to have it steam-cleaned."
Kolar and his three roommates first began the reconstruction process by patching holes in their apartment's walls from the fists and
chars of disgruntled KU fans. Karol had to pay to patch the holes and for local hardware stores to match the paint on the walls. But that didn't stop them from hosting more parties because people expected them too, Matt Green, St. Louis junior, said.
"There were a lot of people you don't see every day but that you expect to see every weekend there's a game." Green said.
Green's apartment was on the complex's first floor, adjacent to the parking lot. While both Green and Kolar tried to limit their guests to close friends and acquaintances, strangers still managed to work their ways inside the apartments.
since we were on the first floor we got most of the traffic," Green said. "Strangers would check scores and use our bathroom just because we were closest, just adding to the mess we had outside."
Stadium Views management send people to inspect the apartments for damages sometime after the football season ends, Green said. He, like Karol, had in investment in the repair of his apartment's walls and carpets so he wouldn't be charged large fees by the complex's management.

"I like living on campus because I never have to worry about finding a parking spot and I don't have to ride the bus," she said. "I have like a seven-minute walk to class; probably the best location on campus."
For some students, however, campus living isn't for them. For that reason, Lawrence is home to several apartment complexes and rental homes.
Hawks Point Apartment Homes has three locations near the KU campus. Some of the advantages it offers are a good location and the right to have pets and paint the walls.
"Location is a big deal when looking for an apartment to a lot of college students," said Mr. Galeo.
But location isn't everything. One downflow to apartment living is bills. Some apartments,
"I don't like living off campus because it's much more expensive to pay for gas and a campus parking pass," said lastine Ogdon. Leawood sophomore, "I don't feel like I'm experiencing campus life as much as I could be."
like Hawks Pointe, don't pay the gas or electric bill for its residents.
Legends Place Apartments, 4100 W 24th St. is another housing option for University students. The complex offers students weekday morning breakfast, a bus service to and from campus and one monthly, flat-rate for all their bills.
With many housing options available in Lawrence, deciding where to live comes down to a student's personal preference. Which is more important; convenience or privacy?
"Our apartments come fully furnished, which is helpful for students who come from the dorms and don't have anything," said April Keller. Lefers Place leasing agent.

The investment property lason Flohrs family purchased at 1812 Maine St. came with a greater responsibility.
Flohrs, Overland Park senior, spent more than three months renovating his one-bedroom, one bathroom on Main Street that was built in 1966. Flohrs was forced to live in the front half of his house while the back was gutted during the renovation.
"For the first month I was there I didn't have cold water." Flohrs said. "My kitchen sink was my bathroom sink and bathtub, like half a step above roughing it here."
The house has been expanded to include three new bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen and a laundry room after more than $40,000 in renovations.
Flohres has since moved elsewhere in Lawrence, but his sister Jennifer is living in the renovated house with two roommates. The family originally purchased the house using college funds saved for both Jason and Jennifer, and their father paid the remaining amount. The Flohres plan to sell the house in August 2008 and expect to make
a profit. The good news for Flohrs is that a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home a few doors down recently sold for $175,000. He hopes the renovations and the house's location near campus will help it sell for a larger amount. If the Flohrs' house were to sell for the same amount, the family would split $40,000 in profit after renovation costs.
He also said he had to be more careful with college guests, as the owner of the hotel would.
But playing landlord doesn't come without worries for students investing in real estate properties. Conrad said collecting rent checks from friends — or roommates who have become friends — can be rough.
"We try to keep track of who were inviting and betting in." Conrad said, "especially when I have an email."

But for Marcus Walker, Hays junior and Conrad's roommate, the personal relationship with his landlord has offered several otherwise unavailable amenities.
"Jessie e-mails my dad at the end of every month with the bill, and reminds him about the payment," Walker said. "That way we haven't run into any problems."

APARTMENT GUIDE 1
THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
TO DO LIST: APARTMENT HUNTING Take this handy guide with you while searching for your perfect apartment. BY HALI BAKER
1. Locate:
Think about how far away from campus you want to be. Are you willing to drive 10 to 15 minutes to get to campus, or would you rather be able to walk to classes? Chet Batson, community assistant at the Reserve Apartments, said to check if there's a bus route nearby, especially if you don't have a car.
2. Price: Before choosing the apartment with crystal chandeliers and glided faucets, take into consideration how much money you're willing and able to spend on housing per month. As much as you would enjoy living in a better place than your parents, The Ritz-Carlton is probably not in the budget.
Notes.
3. Prepare: Jessica Rogers, Hawks Pointe Apartments employee, said you should make a list of questions before visiting potential apartments. Make up a list of important questions you might have concerning furnishing or pets, for example. Some places charge extra for or don't allow animals, so if you can't live without Fido, don't choose a place that doesn't allow dogs. Batson said to ask whether the apartment is furnished or not so you have an idea of what you'll need to bring when you move in.
Notes.
4. Visit: Rogers suggests narrowing down your choices then visiting each apartment so you can get a feel for the different places. You might find that the choice you were leaning towards isn't as good a deal as it seemed in the advertisement.
Notes.
5. Scrutinize: Don't sign the lease, until you have read through it carefully and picked out any extra fees you didn't notice before. Batson said to check to see if utilities are figured into the monthly rate or if you have to pay an additional amount. He said renters should be sure to fill out an inventory checklist when they move in so they aren't charged extra for previous damages, such as nail holes, when they move out.
Notes:
6. Communicate: Between the time you sign the lease and when you move in, check with your leasing agent periodically so you don't encounter any surprises when the time comes to move into your new apartment Notes:
7. Remember: Contact the utility company and put your name on the utility service. Rogers said people have the most difficulties remembering this step, and the apartment complex can't give new residents a key until they have switched the name on the utilities.

Mosley still wound up with 20 points for the fourth time in the last five games, but she felt like she could have done more in the second half.
"I was pretty gassed and getting a little frustrated that I couldn't push in transition as well," she said. "But it didn't have anything to do with who was guarding me."
The Sooners also came out with a back to basics offensive approach in the second half. Courtney Paris had 23 points including Oklahoma's first nine of the half.
Kansas always found a way to stay in the game, however. With Mosley being shut out for the first 15 minutes of the second half, freshman forwards Sade Morris and Danielle McRey teamed up with Kohn to score 18 points.
"Give our kids credit for battling and staying in and being resilient again by trying to find a way to stay in the game." Henrickson said.
Oklahoma never led by more than four until Ashley Paris made one of two free throws with 3:57 remaining to make the score 62-57. The pesky Jawhays answered, though, when Kohn hit a wide-open three-pointer from the left wing to cut the lead to two. It was only 30 seconds later that Sooner guard Erin Higgins hit one of her own to finally put Kansas away for the game.
"Most people thought wed wede by 30. I think we played really well stuck together and played like a team." Mosley said, "I'm proud of that."

Seniors lead in last home game
BY ASHER FUSCO
Smith scored nine points and grabbed five rebounds and Mosley posted a team-high 20 points and four assists. As has been the case many times this season, the seniors' contributions were more important than the statistics would suggest. On senior night, their teammates sentiments spoke much louder than any numbers could.
In Wednesday night's closely-contested loss to Oklahoma, two lajayawk seniors showed where some of the youngsters' toughness comes from. On senior night, guards Sharita Smith and Shaquina Mosley used their final game at Allen Fieldhouse to leave a lasting impression on fans and teammates alike.
All season, the freshmen have been the focal point of the Kansas women's basketball team. Guard Kelly Kohn and forwards Danielle McCray and Sade Morris have displayed toughness and provided highlights throughout the season as the most heralded members of the freshman class.
Smith and Mosley's trademark tenacity has clearly rubbed off on Kohn and Morris. At one point in the second half, Kohn was flattered by hulking Oklahoma center Courtney
"Their intensity and passion for the game is unbelievable," Morris said. "They never take a play off. No one wants to be guarded by either of them."
"Ive learned so much from Sharita and Shag," Kohn said. "They always set a great example, especially on defense."
Morris agreed.
Paris. When Kohn got back to her feet, the look in her eyes was a carbon copy of Smith's intense glare.
Even after strong individual performances and valiant efforts, Mosley and Smith were quick to put the team ahead of themselves.
Two games and the conference tournament remain before the ink dries on the seniors' portfolios at Kansas. They have already made an indelible mark on many in the program.
"They have been so great with the young kids" coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "These kids should learn from the way Sharita and Shaq have played."
"I think we played pretty well." Smith said. "But the team still has some things to work on"
Morris, who has struggled to find her offense at times this year, took a page from Mosley's book and drove hard through the lane to draw a foul on several occasions.
No one expected the layshawts to hang with the No.13 Sooners for the entire game. No one expected Smith to emerge as a starter or Mosley to become one of the best guards in the conference.
As they have done throughout the season, the seniors exceeded expectations on Wednesday.
The small seniors did more than their share of the work in a game that was even closer than the final score of 76-70 suggests.

Scheduled renovations to weatherize stadium lot
BY KYLE CARTER
Lot 59, the fenced off parking lot southwest of Memorial Stadium, won't reopen until late April and construction will temporarily disrupt traffic on 11th Street as well.
Jim Modig, director of design and construction, said the parking lot needed storm sewer improvements in order to handle large rainstorms. He said the project had been on a list of deferred maintenance projects for more than 10 years since a study by Black & Veatch determined that the area could not handle "10-year events". A 10-year event is a rainstorm so large that it theoretically
The football facility that will be built this spring at the site caused the project to be bumped up on the list. Modig said he aimed to have the project completed before the Kansas Relays to avoid parking problems at the meet.
happens once every 10 years.
Scheduled improvements include installing larger underground pipes designed to carry large volumes of water to sewers and installing a storm pond in the field at the corner of 11th and Maine Streets, northwest of the stadium.
Post-construction, Modig said the pond would only fill up during rain-fall and would then trickle out as the
area dried, helping to avoid flooding of the area during rainfall
Without the improvements, Modig said a severe rainstorm could flood Memorial Stadium with several inches of water.
The loss of parking in lot 59 left many students looking for open spaces in other lots. Donna Hultine, director of parking and transit, said the best place to find additional parking was in lot 94, east of the stadium.

Sunflower Sitters attracts University women for its flexibility, hourly wage
BY MATT ERICKSON
Liz Weisman, Los Angeles senior, may not have expected to give lessons in privacy and decency when she took a job with a baby sitting service, but she didn't panic when two young boys she watched asked her to look at their "private parts"
"I just said, 'No. I'm not going to look. We don't show those to strangers,' " Weisman said.
Weisman, along with seven other University students and a recent graduate, worked through a baby-sitter referral service called Sunflower Sitters, run by DeAnn Windibiziri, Lawrence resident. The business began referring baby-sitters to families in November.
The Kansan is where Weisman said she found the job. She said the work was perfect for her.
But for her efforts with the children she watched, Weisman said she enjoyed plenty of benefits good money, good experience and good fun.
"I think were lucky to live in Lawrence and have the resources of KU students." Windibiziz said.
She said many families preferred college-aided sitters to younger ones. She has advertised in The University Daily Kansan to find sitters.

Research to tailor dose to age
DRUG RESEARCH
BY DANAE DESHAZER
Researchers at KU discovered a factor in aging that could allow doctors to prescribe more appropriate drug doses in the future.
Jeffrey Krise, assistant professor of pharmaceutical chemistry and principle investigator of the study, said pharmacists in the past have noticed varying effects of drugs in patients of different ages, but no real answer had been discovered.
"I don't think it's fair to say that older people just complain a lot," Krise said. "I think there's really a reason behind it."
After receiving a $1.5 million National Institutes of Health grant in 2004, Krise and Ryan Sol Funk, sixth year pharmacy student, started their study by breaking age difference into cell groups.
When any organism, from an apple to a human, ages, the organism's cells gain oxygen molecules, becoming oxidized.
"When the sun bleaches something like a car, the color will become more dull," Krise said. "That's oxidation."
To mimic aged cells, Krise and Funk exposed some cells to hydrogen peroxide, an oxidizing agent. Then they exposed aged cells and cells in the control group to the same dose of therapeutic drug and examined the drug uptake.
The aged cells absorbed 100 times more of the drug than the control cells. This showed that the same dose given to an 18-year old and a 68-year-old would have completely

A Hillsborough County Animal Services news release on Monday said forcing a real, unwilling cat into a "Rapcat" bag could be considered felony animal cruelty. The bag's warning — "not all cats will be down with wearing this bag. Do not harm or endanger any cat" — is not enough, the agency said.

Animals services wants Checkers to bag 'Rapcat'
TAMPA, Fla. — Animal control authorities are not amused by a fast food chain's marketing stunt encouraging customers to dress their cats in a special take out bag.
Harovi, a 21-year veteran yoga teacher, guided them through a set of exercises that can be performed while sitting down.
Tampa-based Checkers Drive in Restaurants Inc. is distributing "Rapcat" bags designed with cutaway areas for the cat's legs and tail. The cat's head sticks out
Referring to past suicide attacks that have targeted crowded buses, Harovi said, "it's very important to do yoga to relax and to show everyone that life is stronger than the fear."
Most of the passengers on the bus participated, and many said they felt relaxed and more ready for work. The yoga bus has run every Tuesday for three weeks, but Harovi hopes that the program will continue and expand.

BASKETBALL
Push, push. dribble, REPEAT
Wheelhawks player undiscouraged
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
It's early 1995 in Tescott, Kan. larvis Sturn takes a late-night nap in the passenger seat of his buddy's car. The driver, drunk, dozes off and crashes into a culvert. Sturn is thrown into the road. His back snaps.
Now Stirn, a Lawrence resident is jovial. His one-year-old daughter, sitting on mother Marcha's lap, munches crackers. Stirn doesn't have feeling below his waist and uses a wheelchair, but is uninhibited by it. This weekend, he'll be playing basketball with friends.
"I had a few hard times. Eventually, I said I'm going to take it as it comes at me and do the best with it," he said.
Clean-shaven, 32 years old with the neck and arms of a linebacker. Stirn plays point guard and is team representative for the Kansas Wheelhawks, a wheelchair ball team that attracts players ages 14 to 56, from Manhattan to Spring Hill.
"It builds a bond with other people with similar injuries to yourself" Stirn said. This is his ninth season on the team.
Ablehawks, a campus advocacy group that helps fellow students with disabilities, will sponsor Saturday's wheelchair basketball game. The game will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
Stirn played basketball recreationally in his hometown of Tescott, which has a population less than 400 people. After the car accident, Stirn had scant interest in playing the game in a wheelchair. However, after his first night back on the court, he fell in love with
it again.
He began attending practice, eventually buying a custom basketball wheelchair, which cost $2,000 to $3,000, he said.
Push, push, dribble, repeat. The coordination took some time to master.
Katey Birge, Denver, Colo,
senior and president of AbleHawks,
said the game would help raise awareness of students with disabilities.
More than 3,000 students at the University have disabilities ranging from dyslexia to mobility impairments, she said, but the Lawrence campus' hilly terrain was discouraging for disabled prospective students.
"Many students who use a wheelchair don't come to KU." Birge said.
Melissa Manning, associate director of Disability Resources, said a long-standing stigma worked against those with physical disabilities.
"There is a well-meant but mistaken tendency to pity these folks and do things for them that they can do themselves," she said.
Stirn said some people in wheelchairs felt like they needed to do things by themselves to have a sense of control, but courtesy from others never bothered him. If somebody offers to open a door for Stirn, he doesn't mind.
"It's one less time you have to open a door;" he said.

PROMOTIONS
High scores hurt businesses Lawrence stores lose money, gain customers following big wins
BY MEGAN HIRT
When the University of Kansas men's basketball team tips off against Iowa State on Saturday, most Jyahawk fans will be hoping for a blowout. But big wins come with a big price for some businesses.
"We lose money," said Jamie Bossert, owner of Jersey Mike's Subs in Lawrence. "Lawrence basically get a free sandwich."
Jersey Mike's recently began a promotion that lets customers take ten cents off the price of any sub for each point the Jayhawks score over 50 at Allen Fieldhouse.
The promotion began at the Kansas vs. Colorado match on Jan. 27, in which the Jayhawks scored 97 points.
"I didn't realize how many points KU could score," Bossert said. "It made me nervous."
$4.70 if they showed a KUID or ticket stub from the game. Bossert said regular sandwiches range from $4.95 to $6.25.
With the final score of 97-74,
customers received a discount of
Though costly in the short term, offers like Jersey Mike's give a boost to sales by
"It's a win for them," said Denise Linville, journalism lecturer who specializes in marketing. "It creates buzz and gets people talking about their brand. They're hoping to have some type of association with the excitement and fun of KU basketball."
gaining fans' good will and getting them talking.
Linville said she believed discounts like Jersey Mike's were more effective at getting people into a store than running a print ad or buying ad space inside Allen Fieldhouse. She referred to Jersey Mike's discounted sandwiches as a loss leader; although the business lost money on sandwiches, it gained complementary sales like chips and drinks.
its sixth day.
"I didn't realize how many points KU could score. It made me nervous."
Jersey Mike's discount lasted for one week, and Bossert said it brought in more business than usual. About 80 customers used the discount by
JAMIE BOSSERT Jersey Mike's Subs owner
"There's a psychological principle there," Limville said. "A lot of people don't feel right just getting something for free."
Ashley Durkee, Manhattan junior, had never been to Jersey Mike's, but went after hearing about the promotion from a friend. She bought chips and a drink with her discounted sandwich after paying less than $1 for the sub.
"I felt guilty," Durkee said, "especially because I didn't even have to go to the game to get the discount."
Linville said that a promotion like lersey Mike's puts the company
in a favorable light in customers' minds, which will likely increase future sales.
the glass" promotion at men's basketball games brings in future sales. If the team snatches 40 rebounds during a home game, fans receive a free gallon of wiper fluid at Advanced Auto Parts by showing a KUID or ticket stub from the game.
"People come in and just get the wiper fluid, but then come back when they need something else," Hupp said.
The "Clean the Glass" promotion has made Advance Auto Parts a well-known presence in Lawrence. Hupp said that wiper fluid regularly
costs 98 cents a gallon. About 50 to 75 people come in for wiper fluid per game, while word of the promotion reaches more than 16,000 people in Allen Fieldhouse.
Jamie Woods, sports marketing manager for Advance Auto Parts;
said the company did its "Clean the Glass" promotion for six other college basketball teams, and did similar promotions for college football, minor league baseball and minor league hockey teams.
"I felt guilty, especially because I didn't even have to go to the game to get the discount."
Sports fans are an especially loyal market according to Max Utsler, associate professor of journalism who teaches "Sports, Media and Society." Initially losing money by offering a discount can end up being advantageous for businesses if in return they gain sports fans' loyalty.
"It's a very popular thing to do at sporting events," Utsler said. "You're not going to see a promotion like this for who's voted into the House of Representatives."
Utsler said the Kansas City Royals' Krispy Kreme "Dozen for a Dozen" promotion is an example of effective sports marketing.
and a giant pulsing doughnut would appear on the JumboTron each time a batter stepped up to the plate. The Kansas City Star ran a photo of fans cashing in their ticket stubs for doughnuts on an August 2003 front page.
ASHLEY DURKEE Manhattan junior
"I thought it was one of the smartest things to do," he said. "They should've done it at every ballpark in the country"
Fans would begin chanting for doughnuts after the eleventh hit.
For four seasons, whenever the Royals batted 12 hits on their home field, fans could redeem their ticket stub for a dozen Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts. The Royals reached the 12-hit mark during 80 home games throughout the four years, which Utsler said is about as often as most other major league baseball teams.
"Once it got rolling, it gained a kind of pop culture attraction," Utsler said.
"You can't buy coverage like that." Utsler said.
Despite the heavy exposure, Royals president Dan Glass announced Jan. 19 that the promotion would not continue for
the 2007 season.
"It completely baffled me." Utsler said: "I think the Royals were surprised, too."
If the promotion was hurting Krispy Kreme financially, Utsler said the solution would have been to restrict the times and the locations where fans could collect the doughnuts, or to raise the number of hits required for the promotion to take effect.
Bossert of Jersey Mike's used this strategy. Instead of 40 points, the discount now begins after the Jayhawks score 60. Instead of a one-week promotion, the discount is now good for two days.
The promotion has become more popular despite the new stipulations. In the two days following the Jayhawks' win against Kansas State on Feb. 7 — once again with a score of 97 — Bossert said about 100 customers used the $3.70 discount, more than triple the number of customers per day from the first discount.
"I knew the high score was a good thing because we were going to have a lot of people in here," Bossert said. "And we believe that if someone tries our food, they'll come back."

SITTERS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
one reason she began working for sunflower Sitters. She heard about the service through Weisman, her roommate.
Cooper said she had tried to baby-sit on her own in Lawrence, but she couldn't find any families to work with.
"I had been looking for other jobs around Lawrence, and that was nothing really available that fit with my schedule or paid something more than minimum wage." Cooper said.
Cooper said she made more money working through Sunflower Sitters than she could baby sitting on her own. She said Windibiziri made the job easier because she told her sitters about each child's interests and matched the children with sitters with similar interests and abilities.
Windbiziri said her service focused on occasional baby-sitting rather than regular or full-time child-care. She charges $35 a year for the referral service, and she takes $10 from parents for every referral she makes. Families pay the hourly wages directly to the sitters.
She said her sitters chose when

to work.
Windibiziri said she would like to increase her roster of nine sitters to 25 or 30. Although her current sitters are all college-aged women, Windibiziri said she would also hire older people or men if they were qualified.
"It's the ideal job for a college student." Weisman said.
Sitters must be high school graduates, have experience working with children and be CPR and first-aid certified. Windibiziri said sitter applications and contact information could be found at the services' Web site, www.sunflowersitters.com.
Kansan staff writer Matt Erickson can be contacted at merickson@ kansan.com.
Weisman said she recommended the job to anyone who enjoyed working with children.

boulevard, hopefully that _won't be too far out of the way?_ she said.
Lane Stallbaumer, Rossville sophomore, parked in one of the few spaces not closed off in the stadium lot but said he only found a spot because he had class at 8 a.m.
Some students parked in the gravel lot west of the stadium on Tuesday until at least one car became stuck in the muddy lot and had to be pulled out by construction workers. Hultine said the lot was especially muddy because recent snow and rain washed away the top layer of gravel. She advised against parking there until it dried up.
Stallbaumer said he saw the girl whose car was stuck in the mud while he was leaving the tuc Tuesday afternoon.
"There was one guy trying to
push her哭 but there was no way he was going to be able to get her out by himself" he said. "Id guess they probably had to tow her eventually."
The storm sewer project precedes several other construction projects that will take place soon in the area. Many of the spots currently blocked off will be lost to the football facility and practice fields. Construction crews plan to pave a lot on the hill between JRP Hall and Memorial Stadium to replace those spots. Modig said the current construction would probably overlap with work on the new lot.

Janitorial firm in messy situation
IMMIGRATION
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — More than 200 illegal immigrants and three officials who were arrested at a nationwide janitorial service face federal fraud and tax charges after an investigation of cleaning crews at a northern Michigan resort, government officials said.
The detainees — mostly Mexican nationals — who were rounded up early Thursday were working as janitors for Rosenbaum Cunningham International Inc., or RCI, a Florida-based cleaning contractor.
RCI co-owners Richard M. Rosenbaum, 60, of Longwood, Fla.; and Edward Scott Cunningham, 43, of West Palm Beach, Fla.; and firm controller Christina A. Flocken, 59; also of Longwood, face criminal
fraud, immigration and tax charges in a 23-count indictment unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.
"This is not a case of bad bookkeeping or skirting the rules," said Brian M. Moskowitz, special agent in charge of the Detroit office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "It involved flagrant criminal behavior."
Moskowitz said during a news conference in Grand Rapids that federal agents arrested Resbaenum in Longwood earlier in the day. Cunningham and Flocken were expected to soon turn themselves in to federal authorities in Grand Rapids, where the case will be tried, he said.
Their practice of paying cash wages to their workers deprived the U.S. government of about $18.6 million in employment taxes, according to the indictment.
"In this particular investigation, these defenders took advantage of illegal workers in order to enrich themselves by violating the internal revenue laws that were created specifically to protect the legitimate work force, all at a cost to taxpayers of approximately $18 million, all so that they could live a very lavish lifestyle and live the high life," said Sandra L. Carter, special agent in charge of the Internal Revenue Service office in Detroit.
About 203 illegal immigrants who worked for RCI were arrested and expected to be deported, Moskowitz said. Agents took them into custody at 63 business locations in 17 states and the District of Columbia.
An outgoing telephone message from RCI's headquarters in Palm Beach, Fla., said the company — incorporated in Nevada — had "ceased operations" effective Thursday.
Not only did RCI fail to pay employment taxes on its nationwide operations — its clients included such venues as Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe and ESPN Zone
The joint ICE-IRS investigation began 20 months ago at the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme in Michigan's northwestern Lower Peninsula.
— but its top officials also had its supervisors procure and maintain a work force of illegal immigrants and authorized managers to provide them with fake resident cards, or green cards, according to the indictment.
DOSAGE (CONTINUED FROM TA)
different effects.
Krise compared the cell membranes of the aged cells and the cells in the control group to a revolving door. If the door moved rapidly at one store and slowly at another, the same number of people would be able to get in the first store faster than the second store. This represents an older person's cells being more responsive to the same amount of a drug than a younger person's cells.
Most drug therapy is reactive, Krise said. All patients receive the same dose. If side effects occur, then the doctors may change the dose.
"That's a really archaic way of going about this," Krise said. "Right from the get-go, we should be giving the person the correct dosage."
Although this study is a simple model, it could revolutionize drug therapy if proven in animal and
human models, Funk said.
"If that big of a difference is seen in large-scale models, it will have a very big implication in clinical practice?" Funk said.
This research is specific to more than 20 therapeutic drugs that have a narrow therapeutic index, which means there is a fine line between a drug being therapeutic and toxic.
Cathy Thrasher, pharmacist supervisor at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that Extra Strength Tylenol was one of those drugs. If a person exceeded more than 4,000 milligrams, or eight tablets, in a 24-hour period, it could cause serious adverse effects.

CALENDAR (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
way, " Pierce said.
One Women of KU model, Bryn Maughner, Garden City senior, said her calendar has a quality to uphold.
"We're all celebrating our youth, our beauty, our intelligence, and we're doing something we'll never be able to do again," she said.
Featured in three different calendars, Maughner now assists in the interview process for selecting models. She said after application photos are seen, women are called for interviews to learn more about the candidates' inner beauty.
Maughmer said the anarchists can't be selected for the Women of KU calendar if they don't apply, and therefore the anarchists' complaints are not justified.
"I think it's great what they're doing and I'm sure they're proud of their photos and it's too bad they're not supportive of us," Maughner said.
The money raised from the calendars, which cost $8, help raise funds for community groups and radical organizations including the Solidarity! center. The 2007 calendars cost slightly more than $500 to produce 300 copies, which were printed in Denver by a friend of the Solidarity! center.
The calendars are available at the Solidarity! center, 1109 Massachusetts St.

Prince Harry to fight in Iraq
RH
BY TARIQ PANJA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Loftoric Pitarakic ASSOCIATED DFCCC
In this April 12, 2006 file photo Britain's Prince Harry salutes his father Prince Charles (not shown) following the Sovereigns Parade at the Royal Military Academy, where Henry received his military commission. The Ministry of Defense ended speculation that he had been swapping for about a week by announcing Thursday that the 22-year-old prince will be sent to Iraq with his Blues and Royals regiment in May or June. Harry, a second lieutenant, will assume a troop commander's role.
LONDON — He's the redheaded son of the late Princess Diana, the rowdy royal known more for dancing until dawn than waking for battle. But Britain's party prince, Harry, is getting his wish and is being deployed to Iraq this spring with his Blues and Rowals regiment.
Royal officials announced Thursday that the 22-year-old prince would fight for his country, confirming tverish tabloid speculation about the future of the best-recognized tank commander in Britain. His regiment is expected to set out in May or June for a six-month tour.
Harry, a second lieutenant, has been trained to lead a team of 12 men in tour armored reconnaissance vehicles and could become the first British royal to see combat since his uncle, Prince Andrew, flew as a Royal Navy pilot in the Falklands War against Argentina in 1982.
Word of the deployment comes one day after Prime Minister Tony Blair said British troop numbers in Iraq will be cut by 1,600 in coming months. The tabloid newspaper, the Sun, opined — "1,600 out ... One in"
Britain will hand over much of its security responsibilities to Iraqi forces, concentrating its troops at Basra Palace and Basra Air Base in southern Iraq.
Iraiq insurgents might seek to target Cornet Wales — as Harry is known in the Blues and Royals. That has led to some concern that his presence could bring an extra risk to fellow soldiers.
"In a sense, his celebrity might be a factor in making the security situation for his troop more dangerous," said Michael Clarke, a professor of war studies at London's King's College.
Britain's Ministry of Defense has previously said Harry could be kept out of situations where his presence could jeopardize his comrades.
There has been speculation that he will be shadowed by bodyguards.
But a source close to the prince, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, told The Associated Press that Harry would not be given any special protection.
Col. Bob Stewart, a former British commander, said he was certain Harry would be safe.
"The Blues and Royals will take great pride in making sure no one gets near him," he said. "I can't think of better security than having a regiment of British soldiers around you."
In Britain, Harry's upcoming deployment was taken in stride. Blair described Harry's decision as in keeping with his character.
"He's a very brave young man and he's a very determined young man who wants to be part of his regiment and part of the army." Blair told the British Broadcasting Corp. "And I think that shows a very special character on his part."
Others thought fighting in Iraq was an appropriate task for the man who is third in line to the throne.
"It's a bit dangerous for him ... but it's good," said Lee Wills, 20, of London. "The royal family's got to do its bit for their country."
But in Baghdad, Iraqis, who have endured much pain since the 2003 U.S. led invasion, described the deployment as a public relations stunt.
"These things (are) just to beautify the picture ... The British government wants also to boost the (morale) of their troops," said Sabah Ali, a 35-year-old worker at the Iraqi Oil Ministry.
In joining the military, Harry followed royal tradition. In addition to Prince Andrew's Falklands War service, Harry's father, Prince Charles, was a pilot with the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy, and a ship commander. His grandfather, Prince Philip, had a distinguished career in the Royal Navy during World War II. Even Queen Elizabeth II served before becoming monarch — she was trained as a driver in the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II.
"He would be appalled if his troop went to do something without his command and they would be too," Clarke said. "If he didn't go, it would be very bad for the morale of the troop. It's like a family."
After completing the officer training course at Sandhurst's Royal Military Academy, Harry demanded a chance to serve.
"There's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country," he said in an interview to mark his 21st birthday. "That may sound very patriotic, but it's true."
Harry's late mother would have been firmly behind the decision to allow her second son to see active service, said Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of the royal magazine Majesty.
"I remember Diana telling me that Harry loved the military and all its pomp," she said. "She was never worried about him. This what he was always going to do?"

Apple v. Cisco dispute settled by a truce
BY JORDAN ROBERTSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN JOSE, Calif. — The short-lived legal battle between Cisco Systems Inc. and Apple Inc. over the "iPhone" name was only on the surface a trademark-infringement dispute involving identically named multimedia telephones.
Cisco has maintained since the start of the squabble six weeks ago that the dispute was not about money, even though it stood to profit handsomely from any settlement.
Instead, the networking gear maker said it was trying to pressure Apple to break its attachment to closed, proprietary systems and begin collaborating with Cisco on imaginative future products that can communicate with each other.
But industry analysts said Thursday the settlement between the Silicon Valley tech giants does not mean that Apple will suddenly open up its most lucrative technologies, particularly the iTunes library that has helped catapult Apple into the top ranks of music retailers worldwide.
The more likely scenario, they said, is that Cisco and Apple could partner in the near-term on lower-profile projects that leverage the respective strengths of the world's largest networking equipment company and the new darling of digital entertainment.
Some of those efforts, they said, could include integrating Cisco's Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP technology into Apples' iPhones, which are currently
Apple argues that it is entitled to use the name because its sleek new iPhone operates over the cellular network.
Analysts cautioned against expecting any type of major concessions from Apple concerning its proprietary technology, citing the vague joint settlement statement
designed to operate only over the cellular network; improving the ability of Apple computers to work securely with wireless home routers from Cisco's Linksys division; or generally developing ways for both companies' products to work seamlessly with each other.

from the companies that raised more questions than it answered.
Both companies have refused to comment on terms of the deal and are staying tight lipped about what future products might come from the settlement, which allows Cisco and Apple to both use the iPhone name worldwide to sell their phones.
"As far as concessions go, from Apple's point of view, is there a downside to making their products work better with Cisco's networking gear? I don't see a downside for them," said Charles Golvin, principal analyst with Forrester Research Inc. "If anything it makes their products that much more attractive."
Analysts said Thursday the truce was likely part of a longer term strategy by both companies to bolster their competitive positions in the fight to deliver digital content
Apple argues that it is entitled to use the name because its sleek new iPhone operates over the cellular network.
The two sides said late Wednesday that have agreed to drop any pending litigation against each other over the trademark as part of the deal.
Cisco sued Apple last month in San Francisco federal court claiming that Apple's use of the iPhone name violated a trademark Cisco has held since 2000 and is using on a line of Linksys phones that make free long-distance calls over the Internet using VoIP technology.
- particularly video - directly into consumers' homes.
providers spend lavishly on equipment upgrades to accommodate the need for more bandwidth.
Cisco, which makes the routers and switches that direct data over computer networks, is profiting from the demand for video as service
Analysts said the deal highlights Cisco's desire to partner with companies such as Apple that are pumping more video into the home and driving up the need for more networking gear.
Last month, Apple unveiled its new Apple TV video box, which allows users to watch downloaded movies stored on their computers on their home television sets. Industry observers suspect Apple could eventually play a much larger role in the delivery of television and movies to the home.
"This is more a strategic move by Cisco to continue to strengthen its core business — and it was good for them to have the moxie or the where-withal to have the iPhone name to use as a negotiating tool," said Kurt Scherff, vice president and principal analyst with market research firm Parks Associates.
The dustup over Apples' willingness to work with outside companies comes amid intense criticism, particularly in Europe, over the inability of its iTunes software to work with other portable media devices besides the ubiquitous iPod.
Earlier this month, Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs urged the world's major music companies to abolish the digital rights management, or DRM, protections that he said were preventing Apple from selling music that would play on any device.
Danielle Levitas, a senior analyst at market researcher IDC, said she doesn't expect Apple to open up iTunes any time soon. She said the company's partnership with Cisco is more about Apple preparing to tackle the so-called "connected home" market where digital entertainment is delivered through a variety of devices.
"I don't think they're opening up the kimono, but they're hedging their bets for what they need to do for video and the connected home," she said. "They had to do this to keep the name. They had to do this to not drag out the lawsuit so they could use the name from day one. Eventually Apple will have to open up a little bit, and Cisco would definitely be the first to benefit. But it ain't going to happen in the next 12 to 18 months."

CANCER SCAM
Crooked dad to repay debt
BY BEN DOBBIN ASSOCIATED PRESS
ROCHSTER, N.Y. — A salesman was ordered to pay back more than $50,000 to an Atlanta-based software company that accused him of begging off work for months by falsely claiming his young son was stricken with cancer.
Lancepo Inc. said in a lawsuit that Michael Ruffalo launched a tale of hardship right after he took a sales job in November 2005 as a regional account manager. He was given paid leave and unmasked as a liar four months later when the firm tried to send flowers after being told the boy had died, the lawsuit said.
Ruffalo must return $52,517 in wages, benefits and interest because he failed to answer Lanceo's complaints over the last nine months.
"It's incredibly hard to understand why somebody would do something like this," David Cocchiara, Lanceco's chief financial officer, said Thursday. "Using your child as a method of getting money
out of companies while not doing any work is not good karma"
Six other technology firms that employed Raffalo at various times dating back to 2002 had similar stories of him doing little or no work by claiming his son was seriously ill. Cochciara said.
"They chose not to deal with the legal hassle, but it was something we felt strongly about pursuing because it seemed so wrong" he said.
Calls to Ruffalo's home in Macedon, near Rochester, and to his lawyer were not immediately returned Thursday.
According to the lawsuit, Ruffalo was employed full-time by Invoke Solutions of Waltham, Mass., and Chordiant Software of Cupertino, Calif., when he took the job at Lancepe.
He told Lancope soon afterward that his son Aidan, who was 3 years old at the time, had just been diagnosed with leukemia, the lawsuit said.
Messages to the company from Ruffalo in January 2006 reported
"things aren't going as well as we had hoped ... (we) continue to hope for a miracle," and then, after the boy allegedly died. "It's been an extremely difficult time for us losing our son."
He also reported his pregnant wife had to undergo a Caesarean section and their newborn had a lung aliment, the lawsuit said.
Finally, Lanceco called the school where the wife worked to ask about sending flowers and learned that neither Aidan nor his baby brother was ill, the lawsuit said.
EncryptX Corp., an e-mail security company in Boulder, Colo., said it hired Ruffalo in March 2005 and within two weeks, got an e-mail saying his son had been rushed to a hospital.
In the end, "we tried to senu flowers to the funeral home and they said we never heard of the son that had died," said the company's president, David Duncan. EncryptX demanded Ruffalo pay back X2, 164 but, getting nowhere, decided to "just write it off as a bad experience," he said.

Unrealistic 'American Dream' influences policies for worse
Americans are bombarded incessantly with the optimistic notion that we have bountiful economic opportunities. Television shows give away money like candy. Lottery ads shock us with outrageous potential earnings. Spam mail and advertisements tease us with hints about how to get rich quick! Making big money appears to be something we just learn to do.
Unfortunately, the American dream is unrealistic. Most Americans never surpass the socio-economic
status of their parents and economic inequality continues to grow.
As the monstrous gap between the wealthy and poor suggests, it is now actually more difficult for the average American to gain wealth. The nonpartisan think tank Demos suggests that America's young adults will face unusually challenging financial hardships.
Tamara Draut, director of the Economic Opportunity Program at Demos, asserts, "The economy no longer generates widespread opportunity and security."
Reality crushes the American rags-to-riches fantasy. Nonetheless, Americans' hope of economic prosperity are pervasive. Despite having comfortable living conditions, middle-class America, the majority of the nation, continues to dream of bigger homes, fancier cars and new wardrobes. Most crave the latest gadgets and covet their neighbors' possessions.
The mythical American dream even affects how citizens vote.
Repeatedly, policy to tax the wealthiest of America — an infinitesimally small portion — is repealed or rejected.
A 2004 McLaughlin and Associates study found that 61 percent of America wanted to abolish the estate tax, unfairly dubbed the "death tax." Many who oppose the estate tax fear that it may someday diminish their own future hard-earned fortunes.
This fear, however, is unfounded. According to the organization
Responsible Wealth, the estate tax applies to less than one-third of 1 percent of all U.S. households. Furthermore, eliminating the tax would cost the U.S. an estimated $1 trillion in the first decade.
As Americans anticipate the day when they, too, can climb the economic ladder of success, many forget how well off they already are. Middle-class Americans in particular live luxuriously in comparison to billions of others worldwide. Most of us have homes with electricity.
heat and air conditioning. We have hot showers and toilets that flush. We even eat every day. Still, the elusive American dream permeates our lives, encouraging naive hopes and unhealthy desires.
It's time that Americans get more realistic. There's nothing wrong with dreaming, but it's foolish to let groundless hopes interfere with our lives and political prerogatives.

COMMENTARY
A day in a people-less life
I've tried it with myself, but I always end up feeling unfulfilled and a little ashamed. Many of my previous experiences have been confined to certain Web sites, in the privacy of my own room. I've heard it's so much better with a partner. Or even multiple partners, for the especially adventurous.
Lately, I've even been craving some passionate, uninhibited social intercourse.
I'm not really a social phobic. I might suffer from conversational dysfunction, but you're probably not the most compelling person, either.
My intrepid vessel was nearly out of gas. I blasted the detrost and the Decemberists. As I dropped anchor at a Conoco, I lamented my
Recently, I decided to enhance my flacid social skills by interacting with Real Live People. But first, I had to check my e-mail. I do this so often that I've diagnosed myself with obsessive-compulsive disorder. I've never been addicted to heroin, but I have a pretty good idea of what it feels like. After getting my Outlook Web Access fix, I embarked on a voyage for the prospect of an unprotected social encounter.

still-fogged windshelld and Colin Meloy's newfound prog influences Pay at the Pump or Prepay Only? An unfortunate twist. I had hoped for some pleasant interaction with the gas station attendant. Perhaps I would ask him which brand of Lite beer he preferred, or how he got his goatee to grow in like that. I seriously considered prepaying, for a little of that human touch, but my wallet was barren, save for a shiny Jayhawk Visa. Reminded of the five credit card offers I received in the mail that day, I swiped the plastic, and abstained from potential conversation.
Baby, I was born to run — to the store, to pick up a five-subject college-ruled spiral notebook and assorted dairy products. Three gallons of 2 percent milk, one carton of lowfat cottage cheese, and five boxes of cereal later, I determined that
Dillons does not, in fact, sell school supplies. My disappointment was on par with the time I found out that Dillons does not sell toilet plungers. I once heard Rush Limbaugh say that they're going to have a sin tax on dairy products eventually, like they do with cigarettes. Praying to Pat Robertson that Rush was wrong, I paid for my sins at the express self-checkout, avoiding the judgmental words of a human cashier.
Wal-Mart, too, was out of five-subject notebooks. And in further mockery of my futile quest, there was no octogenarian at the door to greet me. My final hope for social stimulation and school supply sustenance was the Jayhawk Bookstore. I found the notebook immediately. Unfortunately, this glorified stack of paper cost $11.
Faced with my first opportunity for interpersonal relations, I thrust forward with a long string of expletives. The cashier turned away in disgust, prematurely ending my first social experience. I went home to check my e-mail, wishing they made a little blue pill for my condition.

COMMENTARY
Workers deserve poverty line at least
A person working 40 hours a week should be able to live at or above the poverty line. This is not possible for a parent with even one child in a single U.S. city at the current federal level of minimum wage. The real value of the minimum wage is the lowest it has been in 50 years when adjusted for inflation.
There is a vast disparity between the federal minimum wage, and what actually equates to a living wage. A living wage is the minimum hourly wage a full-time worker would need to earn to stay above the poverty line. The poverty line is the minimum amount of income a person needs to maintain a reasonable standard of living. This varies from city to city and depends on how many people are in a household.
For example, the living wage in Lawrence is $7.44 for one adult and $13.76 for one adult supporting one child, according to Poverty in America's living wage calculator, based on the Living Wage and Job Gap Study of Penn State. This means that to support a child, a worker would have to make nearly three times the current federal minimum hourly wage of $5.15 and double the University of Kansas' $7. This would translate to 80- and 120-hour work weeks, respectively, to live at the poverty line.

KANSAN COLUMNIST

By passing living wage ordinances, businesses subsidized and contractors working with city or state are required to pay their full-time workers wages that place them at or above the poverty line. The effects of living-wage ordinances would have little impact on the majority of the private sector because of these limitations. In general, cities are large consumers of business, making it profitable to adhere to the ordinances.
Opponents of living wage ordinances argue that the increase in wages would cause employers to have to cut jobs, but a study by the Economic Policy Institute — a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank, of the effects of passing a living wage ordinance in Baltimore showed no resulting job loss and decreased turnover rates, helping to curb training costs.
In 2005, the then-Republicaned Senate rejected another bill that would have raised the minimum wage to $6.25. Every single
Democrat voted in favor. In addition to passing wage ordinances at a city level, states should raise the overall minimum wages. Twenty-nine states have already passed legislation doing that, showing that the legislation currently debated in Congress is long overdue.
The bill that has passed the Senate Feb. 1, and the House Feb. 16 would raise the federal minimum wage for the first time in nearly a decade to $7.25 throughout the next two years. For those of you who remember high school civics, there is the problem of tax bills having to originate in the House, further delaying the reconciliation of these two bills. According to the Economic Policy Institute, it would affect an estimated 14.9 million workers — 80 percent of whom are more than 20 years old.
Steps are being taken to fix this problem, but we still have a long way to go. Instead of a token raise that will likely not be repeated for another decade, the minimum wage should increase yearly with the rate of inflation. Living wage ordinances should be the rule instead of the exception.

Robinson injured, Collins to start

Freshman guard Sherron Collins will start for the Jayhawks on Saturday evening, but his opportunity comes because of an injury to junior guard Russell Robinson.
Robinson sprained the bottom of his right foot during Wednesday's practice. He was handling the ball when he slipped, and as the other players lunged for the ball, Collins landed on Robbonss foot.
"I thought I twisted his ankle," Collins said. "I feel kind of bad about it."
Robinson's foot was swollen Wednesday night, but by Thursday he was able to put on his basketball shoes. He was walking without assistance, and seemed optimistic about his recovery.
"It's just one of those things that happens," Robinson said. "Hopefully it heals quickly."
Coach Bill Self said that if the healing progressed quickly, Robinson could return for Monday night's game between Kansas and Oklahoma. Self said he would not start Saturday, though.
That leaves Kansas shorthanded as it goes up against Iowa State on Saturday evening. Collins will take over the starting spot, with junior guard Jeremy Case and freshman guard Brady Morningstar expected to see increased minutes because of the injury.
"Somebody else is going to have to step up and help lead the team," Collins said.
"There really no difference in our system," he said. "It doesn't matter who brings the ball up."
On Saturday, Collins will share his ball-handling responsibilities with sophomore guard Mario Chalmers. Chalmers said that moving over a position wouldn't have much of an effect on him.
The Jayhawks are trying to avoid a repeat of their first game against the Cyclones, where they barely escaped Ames with a six-point overtime victory.
"I think we were lucky to win the first time." Self said. "But I think we're a better team now than we were when we played there."
During the game in Ames, Iowa State was able to effectively control the tempo of the game. The Jayhawks didn't have anything positive going for them until sophomore guard Brandon Rush took control of the game in the final minutes.
By starting Collins and Chalmers, Self is all but guaranteeing a faster game Saturday. Chalmers is at the top of the conference in steals, and Collins has mastered the art of the fast break off turnovers.
Collins attributes his recent bursts of energy to losing some weight since the beginning of the year. He's worked with strength and conditioning coach

Athletes attempt to beat personal bests
The Big 12 Indoor Championships, the biggest meet for Kansas thus far, begin today in Ames, Iowa.
Despite their regular season success, the Javahawks know that doesn't always translate to top performances in the championship.
"That's the fun thing about the Big 12." junior pole vaulter Libby Harmon said. "You're ranked, but you never know what's going to happen."
With that in mind, the team is focusing on setting personal records, rather than getting caught up in matching their ranking heading into the weekend.
"I'm not looking at my competition, I'm just going in to do my best," Horton said. "I don't care how far you girls have thrown or how far you're going to throw, I'm going to do my best and go for broke."
The event will take place at the Lied Recreational Center, which boasts a 400-meter track, a help to runners like junior Colby Wissel who will compete in both the 3,000 and 5,000 meters. The track's length is different from the 200-meter track that is standard at most schools.
"I'm a little nervous, but you can't let that get in your head," freshman pole vaulter Jordan Scott said. "I'm just trying to stay positive."
Not every athlete, though, is as prepared for the pressure of competing at the conference meet.
Wissel said the larger curves, like those in Ames, help distance runners run faster times.
"It's a huge advantage for distance runners because the curves are what slow you down," Wissel said.
Wissel has also benefited from the running of fellow junior Paul

Even though Kansas senior guards Shaquina Mosley and Sharita Smith lost their final game at Allen Fieldhouse on Wednesday, the two plan to end their college careers in a different way.

The senior leadership seems to finally be rubbing off on the Jayhawk freshman class. Freshman guard Kelly Kohn has been fantastic in Kansas' last two games at both penetrating the lane and finding open looks on the perimeter.

what others are Saying Collected by Ryan Schneider
Regional and national media's take on Kansas athletics
"A pact with a prima donna should have some guidelines or at least come with a warning label. But maybe all that's necessary is this forecast: You'll get what you deserve. That's the way it is for Lobos men's basketball coach Ritchie McKay, who more or less lost the dice in recruiting the Division I baggage named J.R. Giddens, the former problem child of the Kansas Jayhawks. So far, the dice have come up snake eyes, and McKay is getting what he deserves, what he should have expected — lots of problems, lots of headlines. It was naive to expect that McKay, not exactly a people person, would know how to handle this temperamental almost-star, who came to the University of New Mexico obviously basking in the hype of his potential and the hype of his newfound coach."
Albuquerque Tribune columnist Richard Stevens, Feb. 21
Another Border Showdown has come and gone, and after watching the beating that the Kansas Jawhacks put on our beloved Missouri Tigers, it's not hard to find a reason to hate these current Beakers.
The Squawks players are big, cocky, brash, mouthy, and oh yeah, they're also really, really good. After seeing the Jawhays toy with the Tigers for 40 minutes, I was blown away by how talented this team really is.
When this team is clicking, as it was on Saturday, it's literally unbeatable. The only team in college basketball that can even come close to matching up with Kansas talent-wise is Florida, and the Jayhawks already beat the Gators earlier this season. You only have to take a glance at some of these players to be blown away."
Maneater columnist Shawn Garrison, Feb. 13
"On the day after Presidents Day, it is my sworn duty to inform you of an essential truth as it pertains to basketball in our state. It's still blue. As in crimson and blue. As in KU. Kansas State did everything it could to overthrow the Javahawks' power and dominance Monday night, determined to sprinkle a little purple into the mix. Students, thousands of them, showed up hours early and participated in pre-game hoopla. The Wildcats came out with energy and purpose and led for much of the first half. In the end, though, Kansas prevailed. And not because of the players you might suspect, but because of a couple of fresh faces in their first campaign — freshmen Sherron Collins and Darrell Arthur."

"It's just not fair. Watching Kansas celebrate in Bramlage Coliseum year after year is getting so old. This was supposed to be the year the K-State men's basketball team finally beat the Jayhawks in Bramlage and the fans stormed the court in wild celebration. The 'Bramlage Blackout' was in full effect, and the fans packed the coliseum and created the type of hostile atmosphere that hasn't been seen in years.
K-State gave the lawjahaves all they could handle, but unfortunately Kansas was just a little too much for the home team, and pulled off the 71-62 victory to extend K-State's home losing streak against the lawjahaves to 24 games, dating back to the Ahearn Field House days."

MARANA, Ariz. — Tiger Woods went from the desert to the fairway and made a 20-foot par put to halve the hole, setting the tone for a 3-and-2 victory over Ryder Cup teammate J.J. Henry in the first round of the Accenture Match Play Championship.

For the second straight year, the shortest day belonged to Stephen Ames. He was on the losing end of a record rout by

Point guard shines off the bench
Editor's note: This column was written before it was made public that Russell Robinson injured his foot, and that Sherron Collins would take his place in the starting lineup.
at least not in recent history.
Kansas has never had a point guard quite like Sherron Collins not in recent history.
Aaron Miles and Jacque Vaughn were assist men, and Jeff Boschse could hit the three. But none of them were point guards who could get to the basket and score, one who could step up, make the clutch shot and carry a team on his back. That's Collins in a nutshell.
What makes Collins more likeable is that he has no he. He is a point guard that takes control of a game yet remains unselfish. Clearly, the way he has been playing warrants him a starter spot.
BY DREW DAVISON
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
DDAVISON@KANSAN.COM
Coach Bill self said after the K-State game that Collins was worthy of starting, but Collins said he was OK coming off the bench.
"I don't want to ruin team chemistry," Collins said after he carried the Jayhawks against instate rival K-State with a team-high 20 points.
Collins said he looked at Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers as big brothers and didn't want to cause any unnecessary distractions.
How can't you like a player like that?
When you look around the Big 12 Conference, there are a few good point guards — Texas A&M's Acie Law, Texas' DJ. Augustin and Texas Tech's Jarris Jackson — that have equal or better talent than
When you look around the country, there are just a few more point guards — Ronald Steele at Alabama, Ty Lawson at North Carolina and Taurean Green at Florida — that might be better than Collins.
Collins.
But the way Collins has come on since big 12 play, his hard not to mention his name among the best point guards in the nation.
As Kansas' regular season winds down, it is clear that Collins needs to be in the game at least 30 minutes — he's too valuable.
No question Robinson is a great defender and assist man, and Chalmers has broke out of his brief shooting slump, but they don't bring to the table what Collins does.
For now, it's great that Collins is content being the first man off the bench, but will he be all right coming off the bench next year, too? I know it too early to be thinking
about next year, so I'll stick to this one.
If Kansas wins out and gets some, OK maybe a lot, of help, it will have an chance at a No.1 seed. It is unlikely the layhawks will get it, but on the bright side, the No.2 seed in the Midwest region would be great too.
Ranked No. 2, the Jawahrows would see first and, hopefully, second round games in Chicago (where Collins and Julian Wright are from) and then move on to St. Louis, again hopefully, for the regional games.
If the lahayaks are going to make any sort of run in March, Collins will have to carry the team (unless Brandon Rush and Wright play like they did at Missouri).

Bowlers place first at Hoosier Classic
TEN PINS
BY SCOTT TOLAND
The University of Kansas men's bowling team brought home a victory from the Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis last weekend. They claimed both the first-place team and individual championships.
The tournament featured 54 teams, including the top 16 teams in the nation.
Justin Hodge, bowling team coach and advisor, said that he was very pleased with last weekend's results and that he was optimistic about the team's future.
"First of all, we have an extremely young team. Our expectations are to make it to sectionals," he said, "and this is ultimately our goal every year."
The top 64 teams in the nation qualify to go to one of four sectional tournaments. The top four teams from their respective sectionals advance to the
2007 United States Bowling Congress Intercollegiate Team Championships, which will take place in Wichita in April.
"I really think we should be a favorite to advance to nationals in any of the sectionals we are placed in," Hodge said. "We're really looking to make it to nationals because they are held in Wichita this year. Hopefully we can drum up some support for the national championship."
Trent Overbey, Berryton senior, claimed the individual bowling championship at the Hoosier Classic after averaging a score of 209 per game. Of more than 320 bowlers in the tournament, only four averaged 200 or more.

Doubles chemistry provides consistency
BY RUSTIN DODD
In a season packed with injuries and inconsistent play, the No. 1 doubles duo of junior Elizaveta Avdeeva and sophomore Edina Horvath has been a stabilizing tour de force. Despite the team's 2-7 record, Avdeeva and Horvath have been consistent winners at the No. 1 doubles position, posting a 7-2 record.
"The chemistry between us really works." Avdeeva said. "We can feel each other. I can feel when she's working, and it gives me that attitude to work."
"It it kind of happens like that. Our first match we enjoyed playing with each other. It just worked."
The duo began their partnership last fall and were an instant success, winning the ITA Central Region Championships in Tulsa, Okla. Avdeeva remembers immediately becoming comfortable with Horvath.
The duo has become even more
polished during the spring, and has shown an uncanny knack to instinctively know where the other is going to be.
"Chemistry is just a huge part of college tennis regardless," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "They mesh well together, and it's important to have that chemistry and that motivation towards each other. You know once you step out on the court, my partner's going to help me get it done."
Adeveva and Horvath will once again need to play well this weekend. Following a 4-3 victory against Utah, the team will try to make it two in a row as it travels on the road to play Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State comes into the dual 3-0 and ranked 41st in the Fila/National Tennis Rankings. The Cowgirls have wins over Arkansas-Little Rock, Rice and Indiana State. Kansas lost a close 4-3 dual when the two teams met last year.
Oklahoma we tend to pick it up a notch." Hall-Holt said. "We had the win over Utah, and the girls have gotten their motivation and now they realize every time we step out on the court, how important it is to be a team and to take accountability."
"It seems that when we head to
The dual will be the third road trip of year for the layhawks and the third time playing outdoors. The team is currently 0-2 on the road after losses to Syracuse and Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, N.C. Still, Hall-Holt felt good after a strong workout Thursday.
"They got out and they worked hard and the momentum was going. If we can take what we did today and our attitudes, I think we'll do well this weekend."

the T-Bones' field and Kauffman Stadium was repairing the warning track, so neither venue ended up as a possibility.
He even tried all the local and community ballparks in order to better prepare for the Cardinal, a team that won its regional last year before losing in the super regional to the eventual World Series champions, Oregon State.
"This will have been two weeks since we've played," Price said. "Obviously they've got a huge advantage and we have to try and find a way to overcome it."
The layhawks' arsenal may not look the same as the squad that took two of three from the Cardinal last season, but they're still bringing plenty of power to the Sunken Diamond this weekend.
Senior outfielder Kyle Murphy led the offensive attack the last time his team was able to take the field, going a strong 5-10 in the South Dakota State series. Murphy still leads the offense at 381 while junior outfielder John Allman provides a double threat hitting a close. 375 behind Murphy — A double threat Price is hoping to show off in California.
"To go there last year when they
were No. 4 in the country and beat them two out of three was one of the best series we've played on the road since I've been here," Price said.
Stanford is also a different team than Kansas defeated last season. Instead of an entire lineup of experience that Kansas brought in 2006, the teams are more evenly matched between the two schools this trip.
After pushing back an entire weeks worth of games, the lahvayes are ready to hit the field and get back on the road to making progress.
Freshman shortstop Adam Gaylord leads the Cardinal offense. The rookie is hitting .355, has five RBI and has started every game. Freshman pitcher Jeffery Iman (1-1), however, is the only Stanford starter with a victory.
"For us, each year that we've gone out there, we've gotten better on Saturday and better on Sunday," Price said. "We certainly hope that'll be the case this weekend."

KANSAS VS. COLORADO 8 P.M. SATURDAY, BOULDER, COLO.
>> WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PREVIEW
Colorado relies on junior forward lackie McFarland to shoulder much of the load on offense. She is averaging 18 points per game, second in the conference, and her 61 percent field-goal shooting ranks first in the conference. McFarland is an outstanding player, but could use some help from her teammates from time to time. Senior forward Jasmina Illic is not afraid to shoot, but she only converts on 35 percent of her attempts. Freshman guard Whitney Houston has proven to be one of the sloppiest ball-handlers in the Big 12, committing 81 turnovers.
OFFENSE
The Kansas offense is the polar opposite of Colorado's. After struggling early in the season, the Jayhawks have shown improvement in recent games. Kansas has found success by sharing the ball and distributing shots evenly. Freshmen Kelly Kohn, Sade Morris and Danielle McCray have blossomed as scorers as the season has progressed, and senior Shaquina Mosley is capable of breaking down any defense with her ability to get to the hoop.
DEFENSE
VANTAGE:
KU
ADVANTAGE
Saturday's matchup showcases the weakest defenses in the conference. Colorado ranks last in points allowed per game and Kansas stands in 11th place. When the teams met in Lawrence earlier this month, the Kansas defense was just sturdy enough to give the team its first conference victory. In that game, McFarland and Houston ran wild, accounting for 47 of the Buffaloes' 68 points. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson will undoubtedly need to think up a new game plan to neutralize McFarland, one of the nation's most efficient scorers.
McFarland is also a force on defense, ranking among the conference leaders in rebounds and blocked shots. Unfortunately for Colorado, the rest of the team has shown an aversion to crushing the boards or playing any defense. Sophomore center Kara Richards is 6-foot-4, but plays like she is six inches shorter, grabbing only five rebounds per game. In the last several weeks, Kansas has enjoyed outstanding rebounding efforts from post players McCray and junior guard Taylor McIntosh, and Mosley is always a threat to tally double-digit rebounds.
MOMENTUM
Both teams played well against stellar competition earlier this week. Kansas fought hard but lost to No. 13th Oklahoma, and Colorado nearly upset No. 14 Baylor. Although each squad is merely trying to avoid the bottom of the standings at this point, the teams obviously possess enough pride to give their best effort in every game. The Jayhawks are still riding the momentum from a thrilling double-overtime victory against Kansas State, while Colorado is trying to avoid a three-game losing. The Buffaloes have used their high-altitude home court to their advantage so far this season by posting a 4-3 home conference record. However, the Jayhawks are an extremely well-conditioned group of players and should have no problem keeping up with the Buffaloes for all 40 minutes.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
The same inconsistency led the lajahaws to start Big 12 conference play 0-9. But now, Kansas has a chance to get out of last place in the Big 12. At 3-10, they currently are only one game behind Kansas State.
Freshman forward Sade Morris has been aggressive off the bench. The two have combined to score 29 points in each of the last two games.
"Our kids have gotten better." Henrickson said. "We were inconsistent early and made ourselves look worse than we were because we weren't used to the pace and weren't used to the tempo."
"The Big 12 is so crazy right now," Kohn said. "Teams are jumping all around and we have a great chance to move ourselves up in the pack."
Being in 11th place instead of 12th may not seem like a big difference, but in the Big 12, seeding is everything going into the tournament.
Colorado, in a three-way tie for eighth place in the conference at 5-9, has the same motive.
Johnson played in all 12 games and started two as a freshman in 2005, when he had 17 tackles, broke up three passes and had two interceptions.

Domonique Johnson, who just finished his sophomore year, started the first three games of the season for the Tigers but lost his
starting spot because of disciplinary reasons. Johnson later missed five games because of an injured knee suffered in Missouri's win over Colorado on Sept. 30.
He would have competed for a starting spot next year, along with Darnell Terrell, Hardy Ricks and Del Howard.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Weepy judge delivers verdict
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Blubbering as he announced his ruling, a judge Thursday left it up to the guardian of Anna Nicole Smith's baby to decide where the model should be buried. But he expressed hope it would be in the Bahamas, alongside her dead son.
"I want them to be together," said Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin, steering a surprise middle course in a dispute that became more urgent by the day when the medical examiner warned that Smith's body was rapidly decomposing.
The ruling came a full two weeks after Smith died at a Florida hotel at age 39 of still undetermined causes.
Smith's estranged mother wanted her buried in her native Texas, while Smith's boyfriend wanted her laid to rest in the Bahamas.
The judge, who choked up fre
quently and wept as he explained his decision, compromised and gave custody to Milstein, the guardian for Smith's 5-month-old daughter, Daniellyn.
The dispute over the burial was one of many surrounding Smith. Howard K. Stern is listed as Dannyleyn's father on the birth certificate, but Smith's ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, said the girl was his. A California judge is handling the paternity case.
Stern had been hunched over a table with his hands folded as he awaited Seidlin's ruling. He wiped away tears after the decision. Arthur covered her eyes.
The judge began Thursday's hearing with a long diatribe, saying Smith's relationships with her mother, Vergie Arthur, and ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead soured because of overuse of prescription drugs, and referred to Stern as "maybe an enabler."
"We have Stern. Is he a bad guy or
is a he fellow that has some form of a love for her? We don't know," Seidlin said. "Whatver relationship he had with her, he would be called maybe an enabler."
"They kept bringing more and more drugs in the house." Birkhead said, adding that Smith told him she needed the prescriptions to live. When he suggested Smith enter drug rehabilitation, he said she told him: "I'm not a drug addict and quit calling me one."
Birkhead testified earlier that he attempted to curb the starlet's drug use by urging her to seek treatment. When he visited the Bahamas home Smith and Stern shared last year, he said he became increasingly concerned about her medicine use.
Testimony in the case has been peppered with details of Smith's sexual liaisons and the deals allegedly being pursued to profit from the deaths of the starlet and her son.

TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
A No.1 seed in the NCAA tournament is probably out of the Jayhawks reach unless some big-name teams (UCLA, Florida and North Carolina to name a few) start tanking down the stretch. A two seed is fully achievable, though, and if Kansas can stay undefeated through the Big 12 championship game, there's a good chance that they'll find themselves in that spot. That should be motivation enough for the Jayhawks, who don't want to risk running into a first-round opponent that has an NBA player.

QUESTION MARK
WILL THE JAYHAWKS BE
LOOSE?
That's the word coach Bill Self used to describe them going into last Saturday's game against Nebraska, saying they had a sloppy practice the day before. Iowa State is a better team than Nebraska, and an overtime game in Ames should scare the Jayhawks into playing hard on Saturday.
3 REASONS KILL WINS
ONE — Depth. The Jayhawks have Darrell Arthur and Darrell Jackson sitting on the bench. The three could start for the Cyclones. Now with Russell Robinson hurt and Sherron Collins taking his starting spot, the Jayhawks have less depth, but still more than Iowa State.
TWO — They're on a mission. The players really want to win the Big 12 regular-season title, and have been following Texas A&M's every move. They aren't going to do anything that would mess up that up now.
THREE — An odd start time. Five p.m.? Nobody plays basketball then. While the Cyclones are thinking about dinner, the Jayhawks will be throwing up alley-oops.
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
Kansas to speed up tempo with Collins in starting lineup
KANSAS VS IOWA STATE 5 p.m. Saturday, Allen Fieldhouse, ESPN
Kansas 24-4,11-2 Big 12
OFFENSE
The Jayhawks hottest offensive player won't enter the starting lineup until the first timeout. Freshman guard Sherron Collins doesn't just have a hot shooting touch right now, he's also come up big in both games against Kansas State and Missouri.
In Ames the Cyclones took advantage of a Jayhawk offense that wasn't clicking early, but late in the game sophomore guard Brandon Rush stepped up and carried the team to victory. A sluggish offense hasn't been a problem for the Jayhawks in recent games, as they have turned in some of their highest points totals of the season.
KU
DEFENSE
All season long the Kansas defense has been spectacular, and there's no reason to think that won't continue against the Cyclones. When March rolls around, the Jayhawks will depend on that defense to take advantage of fatigued teams and create turnovers with pressure.
One question mark has been the on-and-off play of the big men, who have struggled with foul trouble and "playing soft." Coach Bill Self now has answers for both these problems on the bench. Freshman forward Darrell Arthur has stayed out of foul trouble recently, and junior forward Darnell Jackson provides the attitude that Self is looking for in the paint.

Mike Taylor is a gunner. He can score, but he shoots the ball from anywhere at anytime. The thing is, that's the only way Iowa State can score. No one else on the team is a true threat. The Cyclones' offensive ineptness is best illustrated by their most recent game: a 55-53 home victory against Colorado. That's right Colorado. No team had scored less than 60 points against the Buffaloes this entire season. Iowa State's best chance to score against Kansas will be from the outside. In the teams' first matchup, the Cyclones made 10 three-pointers.

DEFENSE
For a Saturday afternoon game against Nebraska, students took their time filing into Allen Field-house, and never seemed to be fully engaged in a blowout game. Expect the same thing on Saturday, as Iowa State isn't the marquee opponent that Jayhawk fans get excited about this time of year. The only danger is that the players feel the same way and show up "loose" to the game. Even if they do, it's nothing that can't be overcome with a good halftime tongue lashing from the coach. Expect the Jayhawks to win by at least 15.

— Michael Phillips
The Cyclones do a good job of slowing games down and turning them into a grind it out affair. They did this against the Jayhaws the first time they played and had success. Since then, Kansas has improved against teams such as these and proved it could win a slow game Monday against Kansas State. The Cyclones tried some zone defense the first time these teams played and had success. Kansas, however, has gotten better against the zone as the

MOMENTUM
It's hard to believe that this team started conference play 2-0 and took Kansas to overtime in early January. Since then nothing has gone right for the Cyclones. They are a mediocre team, just like everyone thought they would in the preseason. This year isn't a total waste. Other than a loss at Colorado, Iowa State has won every game that it was supposed to. Plus, it scored a good upset at Missouri earlier this year. Greg McDermott is an excellent coach and has quality young talent in place. Next

ISU TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Nothing, Iowa State is not going to be playing in the NCAA Tournament or the NIT. The Cyclones just need to come out and hard and hope Kansas doesn't punish them as badly as they did Nebraska last week. The more minutes for Iowa State's young players the better. They are the ones who need experience against top competition such as Kansas.
STAR WATCH
Freshman forward Wesley Johnson has gotten lost amid all the other spectacular Big 12

rebounds per game in the Big 12. Johnson, Cory Johnson and Dodie Dunson are three freshmen who have made a significant contribution for the Cyclones this season.
QUESTION MARK
CAN IOWA STATE PROTECT THE BALL?
The first time these teams played the Cyclones only had 10 turnovers. This prevent Kansas from fast-breaking and opening up the game. The Jayhawks play best when they are running. They struggled somewhat against the slower pace of Kansas State on Monday. If Iowa State does this Saturday, it can keep the game close.
3 REASONS ISU WINS
ONE — Wesley Johnson. Johnson is capable of scoring 30 points any given game. Mike Taylor scored 21 points the first time the teams played, but he had several ill-advised shots. He also turned the ball over four times. If he goes off, it could be enough for his team to pull the major upset.
TWO — Iowa State makes it self at home in Allen Fieldhouse. Maybe it's been a while, but Iowa State knows how to win in Lawrence. It won here in 2000, 2001 and 2005. Jiri Hubalek is the only main contributor who has won at Allen Fieldhouse, but the Cyclones know from history that it is not impossible to win in Lawrence.
THREE — A Kansas off-day Kansas has been playing better than it has all season. Iowa State's only real hope is for the Jayhawks to get full of themselves and come out flat.

In the last few minutes of the first game between Kansas and Iowa State, Rush started guarding Taylor. He held him in check down the stretch and helped lead Kansas to an overtime victory. Rush probably won't defend Taylor for the entire game tomorrow. But if Taylor heats up, expect Rush to start guarding him. Also be sure to check how Rush performs offensively. He shot poorly against Kansas State and will want to redeem himself.

》 FOOTBALL COMPLEX
Plan reveals underground design
Team to receive 80,000 square feet of space; grass-covered roof, limestone to help building blend with campus
The Athletics Department released final plans for the Anderson Family Football Complex to be built just south of Memorial Stadium, unveiling a design that will provide the football team with nearly 80,000 square feet of space and won't inhibit the view of the stadium from the top of the hill.
BY KYLE CARTER
Warren Corman, University architect, said the complex would have two floors, with the bottom floor nestled into the base of the hill under a grass-covered root. Corman said that part of the design, coupled with the use of stone that will match the limestone on campus, was intended to help the building fit with the rest of campus and avoid detracting from activities such as commencement and tailgating on the hill.
The Anderson Family Football Complex will be built into the base of the hill just south of Memorial Stadium. The complex is designed to avoid interfering with activities on the hill, such as tailgating and commencement.
THE ART GALLERY
Corman said the underground area would be used for weight rooms. Designs show the complex will also include meeting rooms for individual positions, locker rooms, offices and a multipurpose room with tall glass windows that outlook the stadium and will be used for recruiting.
"You won't even see it." Corman said of the large portion of the complex that will be underground "The hill and the grass will come right over it."
Anthony Webb, freshman defensive back, said having a new complex would benefit the program immediately with more space for workouts, and in the long run by attracting new recruits.

in the available food choices to allow customers to customize their food. The result, say those involved, has been an improvement.
Nona Golledge, associate director for KU Memorial Unions, said traffic in the Kansas Union in Fall 2006 increased approximately 18 percent from the previous semester, and that sales in The Market had mirrored that increase.
"The Market was the biggest

change, so we feel that we drew more people in," Golledge said.
She said the goal was not to replicate The Underground, which she said moved at a faster pace. Dining Services wanted to offer other options at The Market, going more toward self-operation. Golledge said Dining Services was pleased

》 WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL
Rolling up the court
Exhibition showcases unique athleticism
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
The Kansas Wheelhawks and Kansas City Thunder showcased their version of basketball to fans during halftime at the Kansas-iowa State basketball game Saturday night.
Drew Ravnikar, who plays for the Wheelhawks, a Topeka-based Kansas City wheelchair basketball team, said he was thrilled to play in front of the Allen Fieldhouse crowd.
The Wheelhawks later defeated their rival, the Kansas City Thunder, 63-34, in front of about 60 people at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center after the Jayhawks' basketball game.
"It gave me chills the first time I heard the cheers." he said.
The sport allows up to 12 class points on the court at any given time: class ratings are based on mobility and type of injury. Players with disabilities that have

Spotlight on Organizations From the Inside Out
BY MEGAN HIRT
It looks like a regular bathroom scale, but rather than a number, stepping onto From the Inside Out's scale generates an uplifting affirmation by which to measure the body
"Our scale puts a different spin on weighing yourself," said Nicole Tichener, St. Louis sophomore and co-president of From the Inside Out. "It allows you to walk away with a smile on your face."
From the Inside Out is a peer education organization through the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center. The group hosts interactive workshops across campus that address issues such as body image, eating disorders and gender stereotypes. The workshops aim to help KU students develop positive perceptions of their bodies.
"The message we try to get across is essential for people who are in college and are basically starting a new life," Tichon said. "It's really easy to get stressed out and slip into unhealthy habits and ways of thinking about yourself."
From the Inside Out began in Spring 2005 and has 15 members who team up to lead workshops. Tichenor said the group had been invited to give presentations in health classes and at residence halls and sororites.
As part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. From the Inside Out will have an informational display set up on Level 4 of the Kansas Union this Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The week's theme is "Be Comfortable in Your Genes," which stresses genetics' influence on appearance as well as a person's risk of developing an eating disorder. Along with raising awareness of eating disorders, Tichnor said the display would highlight the media's role in creating unrealistic body expectations.
From the Inside Out is planning campus-wide events to celebrate Women's History Month in March, and the group will also take part in "Lock in to Grow Together," a retreat for local high school girls on March 11. Tichener said the organization
was excited to share its positive message with Lawrence youth.
"We want to empower them to make good decisions and give them the tools to do that," she said.
Members of From the Inside Out who facilitate workshops must become certified by attending a training session. Tichenor said anyone interested in becoming a facilitator should come to one of the group's meetings. The group meets every other Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the Wheat Room of the Student Involvement and Leadership Center on Level 4 of the Kansas Union. The next meeting is March 7. Questions can be sent to etw@ku.edu.

Lucky toddler finds $1,300 in story book
MCDONOUGH, Ga. - Rhiannon Barnes may be the luckiest 15-month-old ever. Or maybe her baby sister is the fortunate one.
While playing with a thrift store book bought earlier in the day for 25 cents, Rhiannon uncovered $1,300 in cash stock between the pages. Her baby sitter Sheila Laughridge said she only bought the book at Rhiannon's insistence and was surprised when the toddler found a brown paper bag full of $100s, $50s, $20s and $10s.
Laughbridge took the money, which dated as far back as the 1960s, to a local bank, where she received only $300 in exchange because most of the bills were in pieces. The rest of the tattered money was sent to the U.S. treasury department.
Continuing noise issues have city barking mad
CLIFTON, N.J. — The city of Clifton is not going to the dogs. At least not if the City Council has anything to do about it.
Later this month, the council is expected to introduce an ordinance setting a limit on how long dogs can bark.
Noisy canes will be defined as those that bark for more than 30 minutes on two consecutive days.
The city already has nuisance and "noise laws that can be used to address annoying and disturbing noises such as constant barking." But officials said those laws are sometimes difficult to enforce
Police have to investigate complaints, and the city Health Department sent 11 cautionary letters last year warning that a summons could be issued if the barking continued.

see people with disabilities engaging in sports."
Ray Petty, 40-year-old Wheelhawks center and forward, has played wheelchair basketball since 1990.
"If you're not going to run up and down the court, you can roll up and down the court," he said.
Petty said the players coached themselves and were on the road at least once a month. The Wheelhawks play in the Midwest Conference, which is comprised of teams from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska. The Wheelhawks won seven of the last eight conference tournaments.
Melissa Manning, associate director of disability resources, said more wheelchair sports were being organized, such as a wheelchair tennis
clinic on March 3.
"It's a very good thing for people to see that folks in wheelchairs can be athletic," she said.
Wheelhawks player Jim Kesler played on the Olympic wheelchair volleyball team at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics. He, like many other players on the team, tapes his fingers to help prevent blisters from pushing. Kesler, 45 years old, is in his 13th year with the Wheelhawks.
"You play as long as you're able," he said.

and all the facilities, so that's definitely something you think about
when you make your decision",
he said.
FACILITY (CONTINUED FROM TA)
Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the new complex would benefit other sports as well, freeing up space in the Anschutz Sports Pavilion by providing the more than 100 players on the football roster with a space of their own.
Tyler Lawrence, freshman quarterback, said working out in a more isolated environment would help the team focus.
"It its hectic sometimes when volleyball or softball is in there."
he said of the shared weight room.
"Now, everything we do is going to be in one area so you don't have to worry about walking here, driving there. I'll be a lot easier."
Corman said construction would begin in a couple weeks and estimated it would be completed by July 2008. The $31-million project also includes two practice fields and a parking lot to replace spaces displaced by the new complex.

with the results of involving customers in the selection of ingredients in their own food. She said seating was not a major concern, but seats were generally full.
Golledge said Dining Services was still working on small changes to improve the eatery.
One matter of discussion in recent semesters has been the possible inclusion of Chiptep into The Market and The Underground.
"We did talk to Chipotle" 'Golledge said. "They're just not ready for that, moving to a college venue."
For now, The Market's changes will consist of menu alterations. Specials have been tried recently, such as made-to-order pancakes served on last Tuesday's International Pancake Day. Administration has also considered pairing with The Community Mercantile or the Merc Tern, 901 Iowa St. — to provide more fresh
produce.
Nate Blum, Lawrence senior,
said he ate at The Market once or
 twice a week, and that the atmosphere led him there instead of to
The Underground.
"It's not quite as noisy or crowded," Blum said. "The crowd is a greater mixture, and it's better for sitting down."
Garrett Shaddix has worked at The Market for five years. He said the streamlining of the registers had made a big difference to create more room and increase the flow of the food area. Shaddix said he had noticed an traffic in traffic.
"It's pretty exciting to see, really." Shaddix said.

said the goal of event was to put a positive spin on a negative facet of society - body image issues. Do said she thought the main problem with body-image issues stemmed from the media.
BODY (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
"The stars are supposed to be role models." Do said. "Everyone, including college students, wants to emulate that. It's just not realistic."
On Wednesday, students can create posters at the Health Hut in the Kansan Union and have their pictures taken with them, an event added this year. These posters may contain more positive affirmations that are not as focused on outer appearances, said event organizer and Watkins registered dietitian Ann Chapman.
"It helps you focus on your inner qualities, like what's unique and what's important about you, instead of being focused on your appearance?" Chapman said.
The pictures of students and their posters will be posted on the new Hawk Health Web site, hawkhealth.ku.edu, and the Student Health Services Web site, studenthealth.ku.edu, with the students' written permission.
Celebrate EveryBody Week is sponsored by HOMEBASE and KU Student Health Services with support from KU Dining Services, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center and Recreation Services.
Chapman said that although body image issues were thought to occur most often in women, male body image problems were increasing, with pressures coming from fitness magazines and muscle enhancers.

America needs more wealth equality
Fear-monger, thy name is neopopulist.
Several 2008 Democratic candidates, campaigning vigorously at this absurdly early hour, have made a point of late of vilifying the growing wealth and earnings gap in this country. They shake their fists in conversations with Iowa farmers, heads shaking with affected empathy, lamenting the supposed decline of the American middle class and excoriating the Exxon executives whose high pay packages are allegedly responsible for the farmers' woes.
Senator John Edwards, taking a break from basking in the glow of his own healthy bank account, is chief among these offenders. He of the coruscating smile and genteel accent travels the back roads of early primary states, telling middle class workers that the elites are to blame for their problems. The rich are getting richer, the storyline goes, while most of America gets left behind. The candidates sound the alarms of protectionism and regulation and peal the bells of alarmism and fear, in an effort to convince the rural voter that a renewed class struggle is the only option.
But the myths of neopopulism are largely limited in scope, and are mostly designed to ignite voters' passions in primary season. The median income of American households headed by people in their key working years is more than $60,000, and rises to $72,000 for married couples in such households. Middle class Americans are living incredibly wealthy, healthy and safe lives by the standards of history and current global society. Television and telephone penetration are near 100 percent, and household assets are rising faster than debts. But somehow, we are expected to believe that a cut in a CEO's paycheck will lead to great windfalls for America's middle class.
Neopopulism is not just poor policy, it is also bad electoral strategy. Candidates can spend months painting a picture of an egalitarian lotusland, a place where wealth inequality is a distant memory, but voters will always take a self-interested view of the future. We are consistently reluctant to impose penalties on the rich because we like to think that somehow, someday, we will join those ranks, and candidates must adjust to this selfish reality.
America has wealth equality problems. The exponential growth rate of executive pay compared to average worker pay is worrisome, and should be addressed in the future. But throwing up protectionist trade barriers and imposing windfall taxes and income regulation is not the answer. Voters should remember that the real solutions are found in broader education, modern job training and expanded opportunities for all.

Dollars and sense: we need money knowledge
---
Life is complicated for students at the University of Kansas. We have to deal with family, work, friends, relationships and, on top of all, school. However, I'm here to tell you one more thing you need to be worried about; your finances.
This is especially important for all the women on campus. According to Jackie Regales in the article "Banking on Women": "The number of American women who will file for bankruptcy
BY LIZ STUEWE
KANSAN COLUMNIST
OPINION@KANSAN.COM
We need more economic and financial information for all children in our public schools. There are simple things that can be taught to students from kindergarten all the way through college that can help all students — not just women
become savvy with their money.
Why is this? The number of women filing for bankruptcy rises because of many things, including our culture of mass consumption, overuse of credit cards and lack of proper financial education. There is something strikingly wrong when women are "40 percent more likely to be poor than men."
This is a huge problem. Thankfully education is a powerful tool to combat this problem. There
are some easy things we can do to improve our own knowledge of the financial world as KU students. Try reading one of Suze Orman's books such as the bestseller "The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous and Broke" or checking out the Web site mymoney.gov, created by the federal government to improve financial literacy.
And we can't focus simply on ourselves. We need to extend our knowledge beyond the University. We need more economic and financial information for all children in our public schools. There are simple things that can be taught to students from kindergarten all the way through college that can help all students — not just women — become savvy with their money. This education must include the reconnection that this is a problem, particularly for women, and involve a solution designed to benefit everyone.
Like most great problems, the solution starts with individual action. Men and women alike should make it a priority to be knowledgeable about money before they start careers.

Find the love in family dysfunction
I've sociologically validated "Little Miss Sunshine" four Oscar nominations.
The atypical, dysfunctional, eccentric, eectic, rag-tag team of players that make up the fictional Hoover family is no longer atypical or overly fictitious in the American landscape. It represents the reality of a changing family dynamic in this country.
Who doesn't have a despondent, sullen and mute teenage brother; a junior-beauty pageant-participating sister; heroin-addicted grandpa or an ancient, clutch-less punch line of an automobile in his or her family?
Perhaps your grandpa likely suffers more from a Fox News obsession than a heroin addiction, but the former can be just as divisive. There's something in the film that America and the kind folks at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences find appealing, even relatable.
I applaud "Little Miss Sunshine" and the cultural movement that took us away from the age of "Leave It To Beaver" to a time when we can portray our familial shortcomings accurately instead of sweeping them under the rug to the tune of
some unreason-
ably cheery sitcom
theme song —
think "The Andy
Griffith Show"
AUTHOR
Using the old standard of domestic perfection as a measure stick for today's family is ineffective. Some of us come from the families of yore, in which the wife wears a frilly apron and has dinner on the table at 5 p.m. There's nothing wrong with that, but it isn't an accurate representation of what typically happens in this country.

I applaud "Little Miss Sunshine" and the cultural movement that took us away from the age of "Leave It To Beaver" to a time when we can portray our familial shortcomings accurately instead of sweeping them under the rug to the tune of some unreasonably cheery sitcom theme song — think "The Andy Griffith Show."
What's more common is bickering, fighting and nagging. People lose jobs and get in trouble at school. Fiscal pressure creates family pressure. Maybe the problem is a lack of communication.
making families doubt they fit any acceptable model worthy of the term. Instead of covering up dysfunction, as a culture, we're learning to effectively
Evolving entertainment have taken some of the pressure off average American families. Movies like "Little Miss Sunshine" show American family dysfunction in all its glory. They show us dysfunction is a norm we shouldn't be
ashamed of. Most importantly, they show us that, despite imperfection, there's still love and a strong family bond. A family is no less a family just because of a few problems, a lack of communication or theoca-
sional argument.
Seeing domestic dysfunction on screen gives confidence to those who struggle with it. Of course, there are many Americans who still fight to present themselves with perfection at the company picnic or neighborhood barbecue. It seems today it's the "perfect" families that stand in the way of progress.
My family isn't perfect, and I see some families that try to be. Maybe we don't communicate as well or as often as some. Maybe we don't get along all the time. Maybe we don't present ourselves to the world with utter perfection, but for us it's better to be who we are than to go through life whistling the Andy Griffith theme and pretending we don't have problems. We're a family and that's most important.
There's no instance of perfection in the American family. Finally the entertainment world is getting the idea. Wed all be better off accepting our drugged-out grandparents than locking them away to become skeletons in our closets.

LAWRENCE ELECTION
Commissioner hopefuls address concerns
Tuesday's primary elections will eliminate three of this year's nine city commission candidates. Voters can choose up to three candidates in the primaries. Three commission seats will be filled after the general election April 3. For voting locations and other election information, go to www.douglascountyelections.com.
Dennis "Boog" Highberger, incumbent
How important is it that the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels bus lines coordinate more?
"I support the option presented."
I support on by our transit consultant that would consolidate some routes and extend evening hours on some routes. It is important to maintain student representation

on the governing board of the bus system when the systems merge"
How can the city make apartment complexes and other student living places safer from fires and crime?
"The city has already done a lot for fire safety by enforcing building codes, requiring sprinklers in multi-unit buildings. Some students have talked to me about the possibility of placing additional emergency phones in student neighborhoods near campus, and I am interested in exploring that idea."
How can the city make the downtown area safer at night?
"Support adoption of an entertainment licensing system that would not impose any new costs or restrictions on the vast majority of venues that don't cause any trouble.
but that would give us the authority to take appropriate actions to improve safety at places that have problems with violence. I do not support a video surveillance system at this time'.
If elected, what else would you do to make Lawrence a better place for University of Kansas students?
"During my time on the commission and as mayor, I have met with students to hear student concerns. The things mentioned above are among the most important things the city can do that directly benefit students. Other things we can do are to support Lawrence Freenet's plan to build a citywide wireless network, encouraging more city-KU events like last year's homecoming celebration downtown, and finding more ways for students to volunteer and to participate in local government."
David Schauner incumbent
How important is it that the Lawrence transit System and KU on Wheels bus lines coordinate more?
"I think a coordinated University and city transit system is important to both parties. There are two issues which I think will cause that consolidation to be more difficult. One is
PETER MCKINNEY
cost, and two is management of the combined system."
How can the city make apartment complexes and other student living places safer from fires and crime?
"The city probably needs more resources to do habitability inspections. With respect to crime, I think a campaign to put more light in the neighborhoods that surround the University would go a long way toward deterring crime in those areas."
How can the city make the downtown area safer at night?
"I think an integrated bus system would make getting to and from where you live easier. I think an entertainment district with assembly licenses might make staying out until two or three in the morning safer. I think more job opportunities would help students as well."
"I think downtown is, for practical purposes, a pretty darn safe place to be. I think we do need to look at an assembly license that would give us the authority to close those places that become a nuisance or seem to attract more criminal behavior."
If elected, what else would you do to make Lawrence a better place for University students?
How important is it that the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels bus lines coordinate more?
James Bush
"It makes more sense to have one very well developed transit system than two systems that overlap services. Perhaps a cost savings can benefit both the city and KU"
How can the city make apartment complexes and other student living places safer from fires and crime?
"The city can provide greater
PETER LOPEZ
enforcement of safety codes and require property owners to bring all dwellings up to specific fire safety code. In any neighborhood where crime is of greater concern.
How can the city make the downtown area safer at night?
Bush
the Lawrence Police Department can demonstrate greater presence."
"First, the Lawrence Police Department needs to demonstrate greater presence when the late-night bars open for business, rather than just at closing time. Second, the city can do more to post signs regarding concealed weapons. Third, I support the enactment of Mayor Amyx's recommendation for a stricter gun law"
If elected, what else would you do to make Lawrence a better place for University students?
"I will work to expand the Lawrence tax base through economic development and job creation. I will work to bring new businesses
to Lawrence, both commercial and light industrial. I believe students would appreciate the opportunity to stay in Lawrence after graduation. I will work to bring those professional jobs to Lawrence."
How important is it that the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels bus lines coordinate more?
Rob Chestnut
"The combination of these systems needs to be viewed by both entities to make sure it is cost-efficient for both. If it delivers a better system for both groups, I would certainly want to review the possibilities."
How can the city make apartment complexes and other student living places safer from fires and crime?
Chestnut
"The city needs to continue reviewing its building codes and entreection to make sure that student living is safe."
"Tools of law enforcement that the city has must continue to be diligent to make downtown safer. It is essential for law enforcement to work closely with establishment owners to continue improving the

"I would like to create more job opportunities for graduating seniors from KU. A more robust employment environment would be a major contribution for students here in Lawrence."

"With the increased service and more efficient operation an integration would provide. I think it is very important."

How can the city make apartment complexes and other student living places safer from fires and crime?
"We need to tighten the regulations on landlords regarding fire suppression systems and the city needs to make sure every street is well lit at night."
How can the city make the downtown area safer at night?
"Downtown is safe. But we need to be sure to fully prosecute the isolated incidents that the media uses to make it seem otherwise."

If elected, what else would you do to make Lawrence a better place for University students?
Mike Dever
"My goal is to bring the kind of jobs to town that will allow students to stay in Lawrence after graduating. I want to make Lawrence both the green and music capital of the region. KU is the only reason this city still exists, and we have to respect the students' place in it."
How important is it that the Lawrence Transit System and KU on Wheels bus lines coordinate more?
"Ridership and revenue may
increase if the process of navigating Lawrence and the KU campuses using public transportation is made simpler. There may also be economies of scale and financial savings achieved if the systems were to work together more effectively."
MATTHEW HARRISON
Devel
How can the city make apartment complexes and other student living places safer from fires and crime?
"The fire department could increase their public awareness programs for students at campus locations to educate students on the importance of proper smoke and carbon monoxide detector maintenance and operation as well as evacuation procedures and emergency egress equipment, in association with existing organizations. KU students and the Lawrence police department could implement an apartment complex/housing crime awareness task force, also in association with existing programs."
How can the city make the down town area safer at night?
An increased police presence and enhanced cooperation between downtown patrons and businesses owners could immediately impact the safety of downtown patrons. All three groups need to work together
to effectively police and patrol the numerous establishments that are frequented by a variety of students and citizens."
If elected, what else would you do to make Lawrence a better place for University students?
"By increasing the number of employers in Lawrence, I believe we can provide all University students more opportunities to further their marketability and obtain real-world job skills necessary to secure solid employment after graduation. If the city can help existing business grow and attract new businesses to Lawrence, we can allow more students to work in Lawrence and obtain internships and full-time employment locally."

"The police department has a foot and bike patrol that scours the downtown district in the high-traffic hours. I think we can improve the lighting in the areas between downtown and campus."

"I have said that I wish to keep the downtown sidewalks cleaner, I
would support the city in acquiring sidewalk cleaning machinery to regularly clean the high-traffic sidewalks. At 14th through 11th streets between downtown and campus, sidewalks are steep and falls can occur. I would like to make these sidewalks safer and more easily traveled and at the same time preserve their historic brick looks by adding natural stone steps and pavers on level runs."

Debates about cloning and embryonic stem cell research are intertwined because the much-discussed process some legislators want to discourage or even prevent is used to create embryonic stem cells for research.

But no debate occurred last week. The bills returned to committee to wait for summer political weather.
The potential for lifesaving cures is the biggest reason defenders of SCNT and embryonic stem cell research give for not imposing restrictions. While the potential is hotly debated, one thing seems clear: The promise of such cures is the most potent political weapon against legislation like the House bills.
TOPEKA - As the Legislature passed the midpoint of its 2007 session, events suggested that critics of embryonic stem cell research have seen support erode for their legislation on human cloning.
The bill passed with 104 out of 125 votes, but the policy didn't survive a skeptical Senate. The debate has become complicated, with legislation becoming more detailed and specific.
Proposals dealing with cloning and embryonic stem cell research passed there four of the six previous years.
The House Health and Human Services Committee endorsed two bills last week, setting up a debate in the chamber. One measure established legal definitions, telling Kansas what constitutes human cloning, and the other prohibited the state from putting money into such research.

It's somatic cell nuclear transfer, or SCNT. The nucleus of an egg with 23 chromosomes, is replaced with the nucleus of another cell, with the full contingent of 46 chromosomes. After the cell begins to divide in a laboratory, researchers harvest its stem cells and discard the rest.
Debates about cloning and embryonic stem cell research have been a part of the House's agenda for the past seven years, reflecting its anti- abortion majorities.
Both bills targeted a process at the center of the cloning debate, one that supporters say isn't cloning but one that some scientists, many abortion opponents and embryonic stem cell research critics is exactly that.
The current debate in Kansas has its roots in a sentence added as an amendment in 2001 to a bill meant to encourage research at state universities. "No research activities on human cloning shall be conducted by any state educational institution under the jurisdiction and control of the state Board of Regents."
In Missouri, such research is protected by an amendment to the state constitution approved in November with 51 percent of the vote, after advocates spent more than $30 million on their campaign.
It's clear which side the backers of the two House bills take. The definitions bill describes SCNT as producing "a cloned embryo." The other bill bans state funding for producing — of course — "a cloned embryo," an attempt to do so, or the shipping of products from such research.
Some scientists and policy makers distinguish between "reproductive" cloning, in which the goal is to produce live offspring, and "therapeutic" cloning for medical research. And some also say SCNT isn't cloning because the product is never implanted in the womb.

BY BETHANY BUNCH
Three dancing troupes and 13 rappers waged a hip-hop battle Saturday night in the Kansas Union.
The event drew an excited crowd. Katy Wade, Abilene senior, said she went to the event because she loved to watch dancing and missed it from when she lived in Memphis, Tenn.
"Hip-hop is a big part of the culture in Memphis," Wade said. "You don't really get that here and I've missed it a lot."
A University of Missouri dance troupe called Shades performed first. The troupe of eight dancers practiced every day for two hours after they heard about the battle three weeks ago, Camillea Towns, a freshman at Stevens College in Missouri and Shades dancer, needed an inhaler after her performance.
"I hope we were good." Towns
said, "I had an asthma attack so we must have been"
The second dance troupe to perform was E-Unit, a group of eight dancers from Emporia State University, Jackie Lund, a freshman at Emporia State, said the group made up their dances only three days earlier.
"We practice all the time, though," Land said. "I'm very pleased with our performance and the crowd's response."
Neutral soul from Kansas City, Mo. won the dance competition
Ten students participated in a freestyle rap session. It cost $1 to enter the battle and the winner took all. They each had 30 seconds to rap to their opponent. Three other students performed but did not compete for the money.
"Keep the beat off," rapper Double A said during his freestyle. "I want the people to know what I'm saying."

Kansas has played with renewed energy and offensive efficiency in its past few games. Unfortunately for coach Bonnie Henrickson, her players may have forgotten to stuff these improvements into their suitcases

Single innings trouble Kansas
BY ALISSA BAUER
One big inning is often the culprit in a baseball loss. On Friday night against Stanford, it was the five-run first inning. On Saturday, the Cardinal's three-run seventh served as the one big inning.
One big swing did the trick on Sunday afternoon.
Despite its second intense comeback of the series, Kansas (7-4) failed to prevent the sweep in Palo Alto, Calif., with the trying run left stranded on third base in the ninth inning of Sunday's game. Picking up its
"You give up a five-spot in an inning and you are battling the rest of the game."
Making the most of the opportunity, Jahl gave his team a 6-1 lead by the end of the third inning.
With two down in the bottom of the second sophomore lefty Andy Marks (2-1) walked shortstop Adam Gaylord in to give the Cardinal a one-run edge. Marks entered the series finale with a 0.73 ERA, but was unable to get that final out. Thus, allowing Fujii the chance to bat.

first home sweep in more than a year, Stanford (7-5) broke open a 2-1 game in the bottom of the third inning in Sunday's game off the bat of catcher Brian Jubl. With two outs and the bases loaded, the junior hit a grand slam over the left field wall.
"I think obviously it was the biggest swing of the game," coach Ritch Price said. "You give up a five spot in an inning and you're battling the rest of the game."
an uphill battle for Kansas the remainder of the game.
Marks settled down and threw a strikeout to end the inning, but wouldn't last through the fifth after surrendering seven runs in his 4 1/3-inning start, which
resulted in his first loss of 2007.
"I think he was very disappointed in himself", Price said. He knew Marks watched former Kansas pitcher Kodiak Quick save his team from being swept more than a handful of times on Sundays last season and now Marks puts that pressure on himself.

Kenseth drove the Roush Fenway Racing Ford to the front and his veteran crew gave him a series of sparkling pit stops, including a quick one Sunday near the end of the Auto Club 500 that put the 2003 NASCAR champion into the lead for good.

Kansas wins two in Kentucky
The Javhawk softball team went 2-2 at the Red and Black Tournament this weekend in Louisville, Ky.
The team, 7-5-1, on the season,
lost both games Friday, falling to
Kent State 4-1 and Louisville 7-1.
Against Kent State, Kansas couldn't produce anything on offense as Golden Flash pitcher Brittney Robinson (3-0) struck out 12 lashwaves in seven innings.
The lavihawks could not capitalize when they had runners on base, and stranded five on base throughout the game.
Freshman pitcher Sarah Vertelka (1-2) allowed eight hits, struck out three and walked two in her second complete game, which ended in a loss.
Runners left on base continued to haunt the Jayhawks as they left eight against Louisville.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys (4-1) lost her first game of the season against the Cardinals, and gave up a season-high eight hits in five innings.
Humphreys struck out five Louisville batters, but allowed four runs in the fifth inning to open the door for the Cardinals.
Sophomore pitcher Valerie George came in to relieve Humphreys and allowed one hit and struck out one.
The Jayhawks offense shined despite Saturday's rainy conditions to defeat the Iowa Hawkeyes, 7-3.
Scoreless through two innings, the Jayhawks came alive in the third and scored five runs on three hits.
Sophomore shortstop Stevie Crisostos reached third base to open an inning after hitting a single, stealing second and reaching third on a Hawkeves error.
Freshman first baseman Amanda lobe connected on a sacrifice fly to score Crisostos an RBI from
Humphreys and sophomore right fielder Dougie McCaulley, which put the Jayhawks up 5-0.
Humphreys (5-1) allowed two unearned runs on three hits, and struck out four.
George pitched the final two innings to earn her second save of the season.
Sunday the Jayhawks got revenge on Kent State and defeated them 4-0.
Kent State pitcher Kylie Reynolds (2-1) posted a school record and struck out 17 Jayhawks.
Reynolds struck out 11 of 12 Jayhawks batters through the first four innings of the game.
Sophomore catcher Elle Pottert hit a solo home run to break Reynolds' no-hitter in the top of the fifth inning.
Sophomore third baseman Val Chapple reached on base because of an error on the second baseman and stole second.

BASEBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Much like the opening game of the series, the lajahwks began chipping away at the Cardinal lead. Out hitting Stanford 14-9. Kansas never struggled getting the bat on the ball, but stringing hits together was a different story.
Junior outfielder John Allman did his best to rewrite that story by going 4 for-5 with three RBI on Sunday. In the top of the fifth, the outfielder knocked in freshman third baseman Roby Price to narrow the gap to 6-2. The run was the youngest Price's second of the day after tagging a double to left to get himself on.
As Kansas continued to claw its way to even again, Stanford's scoring drive slowed. A slow roller to freshman relief pitcher Thomas Marcin was ruled a hit and knocked in first baseman Brent Milleville in the bottom of the fifth. Stanford would not score again.
But with a 7-2 lead, the Cardinal wouldn't have to.
A few insurance runs, however, might have taken the stress off Stanford coach Mark Marquess and company. The Jayhawks might not have topped their opponent on Sunday, but they likely caused some severe anxiety.
After a three-up, three-down sixth.
sophomore first baseman Preston Land doubled in right fielder Nick Faunce in the top of the seventh. In his first start of the year, the redshirt sophomore Faunce went 1-for-3 and scored the lajahyks' third run of the afternoon, narrowing the lead to 7-3.
Believing in a comeback, Kansas was relentless.
Junior Casey Larson pinch hit to lead off the eighth with a single to right field. Taking his lead, senior center fielder Kyle Murphy put a single in right as well. Allman stayed red hot, knocking them both in while slicing the lead in half.
"Part of that is that we need to get better starts and starting pitching so we don't get ourselves in those positions." Price said. "But at the same time I was really pleased with the way we battled back."
Inching closer, Stanford's lead shrunk to 7-5.
Behind the arm of closer sophomore Paul Smyth, the jayhawks kept the Cardinal off the board while they balanced out the scoreboard. The sophomore still has not allowed a run in his six appearances this season and has provided an effective shield for his offense.
Smyth induced a double play to set up a dramatic ninth inning.

Junior second baseman Ryne Price reached on an error by right fielder Michael Taylor to put a runner on with one out and the team down by just a pair of runs.
In five games, senior catcher Dylan Parzyk had yet to collect his first hit. He came up with one in an ultimate clutch situation to put runners on the corners and force reliever Brandt Walker out of the game.
"I thought it was a really good inning," Price said. "When Simpson came up — he's really been struggling — but I thought he was due."
Records — Kansas 7-4, Stanford 7-5
For the fifth time in as many games, Stanford pitcher David Stringer was called in. Larson hit a sacrifice fly with Price on third to cut the lead to a nail-biting 7-6. Coming up big again, he finished a career high 4-for-5 with a run scored, Murphy singled to right, landing Pzark on third.
It was not to be. Stringer picked up his fiftth save of the year when he struck junior outfieldier Brock Simpson to end the game along with the drama.
As for now, Price and his Jayhawks are looking for the positives in their first sweep of the season.
"It's not often you lose three to a national power like Stanford and walk out feeling like you could've won two or three of those games."
Kansas plays its next game against Oral Roberts at 3 p.m. on Tuesday in Tulsa, OKa.

Broncos running back dies at home

ST.LOUIS — Damien Nash had just come home from a charity basketball game he'd organized in his brother's honor when he collapsed in front of his wife and 7-month-old girl.
The Denver Broncos' running back died Saturday and the cause remained unclear Sunday, but his grieving mother knows what she must do.

Damen Nash collapsed in his suburban St. Louis home after returning by limousine with his wife, Judy Nash, and their daughter from a game at his high school to benefit The Darris Nash Find a Heart Foundation. The organization raises money for heart transplant research.
The 24-year-old player was taken by ambulance to Christian Hospital Northeast, where he was pronounced dead. The hospital's nursing supervisor, Maria St. George, told the AP the hospital dispatched an ambulance as soon as it received the call.

He said he was waiting on lab results to check for drugs or alcohol, and a look at tissue sections. He's also asked a forensic pathologist who specializes in hearts to look at Nash's heart.
Ewald said some cardiomyopathy conditions run in families. He said
Dr. Gregory Ewald, a cardiologist, treated 25-year-old Darris Nash and said he had a weakened heart muscle condition known as dilated cardiomyopathy. The ailment can be caused by a viral infection, inflammation or other causes. Darris Nash became so ill he needed a mechanical device to support his circulation until he could get a transplant.
he never met Damien Nash, but "the fact that Damien was doing high-level athletics may indicate that was not the problem."
The death comes less than two months after the still unsolved slaying of Broncos teammate Darrent Williams. Damien Nash's agent, David Canter, said the Broncos were trying to contact teammates, who have scattered for the offseason. Funeral arrangements were not set.

For Kansas, the competitiveness of the second half was a welcome change from the ugly play that characterized the beginning of the game.

Sophomore forward Julian Wright goes up for a basket in the first half of the game against Iowa State Saturday. Wright finished the game with 12 points and eight rebounds.
"I hadn't really thought much about that," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Florida getting beat, to me, is still a No. I need if it doesn't get beat the rest of the way."
BASKETBALL (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Self might have given the Gators credit, but he didn't dispel the notion of his team getting the highest seed for the NCAA Tournament.
"All we need to do is go play well Monday," he said. "Then, I think a lot of things will happen in the next two weeks. Only one team wins each tournament, so there's going to be some losses."
Regardless of what happened to other teams, Kansas played like a No. 1 seed in its quick, methodical drubbing of Iowa State.
The Jawhays forced six turnovers to race out to an insurmountable 20-4 lead at the 9:39 mark. Their psky defense bothered the Cyclones throughout the entire game. Kansas led Iowa State 41-15 at half, held it to under 33 percent shooting and stole the ball 14 times during the game. It was an improvement from the first time the two teams met. The Jawhays needed overtime to bury the Cyclones that game and only had two steals.
"We didn't want that to happen again," freshman forward Darrell Arthur said. "We just came out hungry and played together."
Offensively, Kansas put together another balanced performance. Sophimore guard Mario Chalmers led six players in double digits with 18 points. By causing turnovers and running after defensive rebounds, the lavwhaws forced a quick tempo.
Earlier in the season, Self might have been reluctant to allow so much offensive freedom. Now, he is more

content to sit back and let his players retewel he on the offensive end.
"I trust our guys," he said. "I think they feel more confident with what we're trying to do and can make their own adjustments on the fly. Our confidence level is pretty good right now."
That's obvious when looking at how dominant Kansas has been since a Feb. 3 loss to Texas A&M. In the six games since then, the layawks are bludgeoning opponents by an average of more than 27 points per game. Their last four opponents have shot less than 33 percent, and three of those scored less than 50 points.
While blowing out other teams is never a bad thing, it could prove detrimental when Kansas is in the NCAA Tournament. The Jayhawks will be playing more competitive teams, and games will likely be decided in the game's last five minutes, rather than the first five.
"From a coach's perspective, you'd like to have a nice balance," Self said. "In a perfect world, wed play more close games. But the reality of it is

The layhawks might get the opportunity to play a close game down the stretch against the Oklahoma Sooners tonight and again against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday. Winning those two games would continue to increase the layhawks' chances of earning a No. 1 seed. For now, Self said his team was focused on each individual game, not about what was going on around the country.
Sophomore forward Julian Wright said if the team did that, the best was vet to come.
"I hope we were not at the top," Wright said. "Were getting much better and playing more loose. We like the way we were playing."

The Jayhawks dominated the paint throughout the game, allowing the Cyclones just three layup attempts. Iowa State didn't have much of a shooting touch early, making just 5 of 28 shots. The Jayhawks made 60 percent of their three-pointers, making them almost as effective from behind the arc as they were from the free-throw line (61 percent). The Cyclones made a respectable 67 percent of their free throws on Saturday, just 4 percent below their season average. Shot chart information compiled by KU Athletics.

Collins prevails as starter
RY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Sherron Collins' teammates could tell that he was nervous.
Usually, the freshman guard is one of the most energetic players in the training room, joking with teammates and bouncing around while Lif Wayner blares from his iPod. On Saturday, he sat silently on the table while the trainers applied athletic tape.
Collins said he was feeling the butterflies in the hours before the game, which he started in place of injured guard Russell Robinson. If his nerves affected his play, it wasn't reflected in the final statistics. Kansas defeated Iowa State 89-52 as Collins tallied 12 points and 6 assists in a career-high 32 minutes.
"I knew I was going to get a lot more minutes," he said. "I just tried to come out and not do too much."
As he sat in the locker room, some of the veteran players came up to Collins and offered him advice. Robinson, a junior, told him to play like he would if he were coming off the bench. Sophomore forward Julian Wright echoed that thought.
"I just told him to move the ball
around, keep playing and be aggressive," Wright said. "Basically, just play the first few minutes and get into a flow."
Collins was helped out by the Iowa State offense, which failed to protect the ball. That allowed him to get a pair of early steals and run a fast-break offense.
Things were going so well for Collins that coach Bill Self left him in for the first 16 minutes of the game, rare for a point guard and even rarer for a freshman. Collins didn't fatigue, consistently making his signature layups and running back to position himself on defense.
Sophomore guard Mario Chalmers and junior guard Rodrick Stewart also pitched in for Robinson. Chalmers finished with a game high 18 points. The focus was on Collins, though, who knew he would also have to assume some of Robinson's demeanor. Iowa State coach Greg McDermott said that while scouting the Jayhawks, he noticed Robinson's leadership abilities.
Collins said that now that he had experience as a starter in a conference game,he'd be more comfortable with it in the future.
The nerves weren't limited to playing basketball. He got another surprise when, as the last player introduced, he found himself in the middle of the team huddle in the seconds before the game.
"I felt that he was the glue that held them together, because he did so many things that didn't show
up on the stat sheet" McDermott said. "They were very effective and unselfish without him today."
"I just let them know it was an important game and that we needed this game," he said. "The cuss words I won't say right now."
Despite his success, there's one area where he'll never be able to fill Robinson's shoes.
"When Russell comes out, the whole crowd is going to yell, 'New-YORK, New-YORK,' Collins said. "Nobody's going to yell 'Chicago, Illinois.'

Cyclones flat in round two
BY RYAN SCHNEIDER
There would be no need for overtime this time.
Just a month ago, Kansas and Iowa State were tied at the end of regulation in Ames. Yet on Saturday, Kansas cruised to a 26-point halftime lead and held Iowa State to 15 points at intermission.
a combined 5-for-22 from the field and score just 13 points between them. On the season, both average at least 12 per game.
Just a month ago, Kansas and Iowa were tied at the end of regulation in Ames.
No. Iowa State looked nothing like the team that took Kansas to
So what was the difference between the two games?
"We were playing their style of basketball, which is uptempoed," Iowa State guard Dodie Dunson said. "And we should've been playing ours."
Cyclone basketball certainly isn't shooting a miserable 18 percent in the first half. It also isn't watching your top two scorers - Wesley Johnson and Mike Taylor - shoot
overtime last month thanks to hot three point shooting and six players in double-figures.
It was so bad for the Cyclones on Saturday that
Dunson, a reserve guard, was the teams leading scorer with just eight points on three field goals.
"It was a mismatch today," Iowa State coach Greg McDermott said. "Physically, mentally, from a hustle standpoint. We were defeated in every aspect of the game possible."
The scary thing for McDermott was he thought it could have been
worse than the 37-point stomping his team received.
"They've got virtually every piece of the puzzle," McDermott said, "and their starting point guard didn't play today."
It wasn't as if Kansas controlled the game from the start, though, Iowa State trailed by just two at the first media time-out with 14 minutes left in the first half. Then, the Jayhawks were able to get out in transition and run, which pretty much spelled the end of any chance Iowa State had of pulling off the upset.
"They just outplayed us" Taylor said. "They did force the tempo in transition which gave us problems. They just attacked the glass. They were just tougher than us."

view from press row
> The Big 12 Conference is weak this year, and the Jayhawks have been dominating opponents recently, but let's not combine the two issues, Kansas would be wiping the floor with any conference right now. Outside of maybe Ohio State, I don't think there's a hotter team in America than the Jayhawks.
> Junior guard Jeremy Case missed out on his usual clean-up time due to an injury. Case suffered a stress fracture in his foot earlier in the week. The next time he may get to play is in the first round of the Big 12 tournament, as the Jayhawks are unlikely to look to the reserves against
Oklahoma and Texas.
> Future Jayhawk Cole Aldrich was named to the McDonald's All-American team, which recognizes the best high school seniors in the country. Aldrich is a 6-foot-10 center who is playing at Jefferson High School in Bloomington, Minn. Congratus to Aldrich, who joins a long line of Jayhawks who have received the honor.
> With senior night approaching, and no seniors on the team, consider this: the Jayhawks could return the exact same lineup next season. None of the top NBA candidates — Wright, Kaun, Raun and Arthur — are likely to be chosen as a lottery pick in the draft,
which could be enough to keep them around for another year.
If that happens, the Jayhawks would be the preseason No.1 of every analyst in the country.
It was a tough day for sophomore guard Brandon Rush, who played timid in the first half and just couldn't get his shots to fall in the second half. He scored only six points. Self got it right after the game when he said Rush needed to be the team's leading scorer. His lack of offensive production isn't noticeable now, but it will be in March.

Four Jayhawks earn conference titles
Kansas pole vaulters sweep first place; women's team finishes sixth, men end in seventh place
BY TAYLOR BERN
Expectations were high for Kansas heading into the Big 12 Indoor Championships, and several Jawahra stepped up to the challenge and came away with top finishes.
Four layhawks came away with conference titles, which helped the women's team finish sixth with 52 points and the men place seventh with 57.
Junior favorites Egor Agafonov and Kate Sultanova captured individual titles in the men's weight throw and women's pole vault. Agafonov, the defending Big 12 champion, matched his career best mark with a toss of 76-01, the longest collegiate throw this season.
"It was a very rewarding performance because I feel like all the work my coach and I do is paying of I<sup>2</sup>. Agafonov said in a press
release. I really enjoy, the guys I compete with and I just want to keep moving up and throwing farther*
Sultanova tied a Big 12 championship meet record with her winning height of 13.09.25. Freshman Brittany Parker
also scored in the event, clearing 12. 09.25 for seventh place.
In the men's pole vault, Jordan
Scott ignored his freshman fitters and cleared 17-05.50 to give Kansas a sweep of the event.
"It was a very rewarding performance because I feel like all the work my coach and I do is paying off."
EGOR AGAFONOV
Big 12 Champion weight thrower
"It was my last jump at that height and as I came down the runway, I visualized myself clearing the bar and it was probably the best jump I have ever taken," Scott said in a press release.
Junior Colby Wissel the
reigning Big 12 cross country champion, used a strong finishing kick to jump from fourth to first in the
men's 3,000 meters and win with a time of 8.06.72.
Kansas also found success in the men's and women's 60-meter hurdles, where junior Julius Jiles and sophomore Ashley Brown each surpassed the NCAA provisional mark. Jiles and Brown each set new personal records in their preliminary race with times of 7.85 and 8.38, then finished second and third in their finals.
Sophomore  Sha'Ray Butler clocked in at 55.11 in the women's 400 meters for a third-place finish.
"I was not expecting to reach the finals, so to go from that to surprising the team by making the finals to getting third in the conference, I feel very blessed." Butter said in a press release.
Kansas racked up points in the 600-yard run. Sophomore Charity Stowers finished fourth and senior Jancee Gatson finished eighth in the women's race. For the men, junior Matt Baysinger fished fourth and senior Cliff Mitchell came in sixth.
In the men's 5,000 meters, Wissel and fellow junior Paul Hefferon finished third and eighth.
The Jayhawks travel to Ames, Iowa, next weekend for the Iowa State Invitational, the last chance for athletes to quality for the NCAA Indoor Championships.

The 50-year-old Funk overcame the pain and a rocky final round to win the Mayakoba Golf Classic on the second hole of a playoff with Jose Coceres, making him only the second man to win on the regular tour after winning on the Champions Tour.

MONDAY. FEBRUARY 26, 2007
KU
TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE2
If the teams on top of Kansas continue to fall, it's not unthinkable that they enter the tournament as a No.1 seed. The selection committee strongly weighs the last 10 games a team has played, and the Jayhawks have been dominating everybody in their path during that time.
STAR WATCH
Junior guard Russell Robinson says he's ready to go after an injury kept him out of the Iowa
Robinson
Robinson
State game.
He probably won't start, but look for him to get a decent number of minutes as coach Bill Self determines if
he's fully healed — both physically and mentally.
QUESTION MARK
CAN THE JAYHAWKS CON-
TINUE THEIR TORRID PACE?
They've been tearing through opponents for the past few weeks, but it would seem that at some point, something's got to give. If it doesn't, they could be favored by plenty of analysts to win the tournament.
3 REASONS KUWINS
**ONE** - Winning the Big 12 means something to them. It's one of this team's goals, and they're not overlooking it for the NCAA tournament. They watch the scoreboard whenever Texas A&M is playing in the hopes that they'll be outright champs.
TWO - Julian Wright will be in "Beast Mode." That's how he describes himself when he plays aggressively on both ends of the court and takes over a game. We saw glimpses of it against Iowa State, and he's due for a big game.
**THREE** - It's Senior Night at Oklahoma. I've always felt that Senior Night was more of a distraction than a motivator. The players may beg to differ, though.
BUMMER SOONER
COUNTDOWN TO TIP-OFF GAME DAY
Kansas looks to spoil Oklahoma's upset bid on Big Monday
KANSAS VS. OKLAHOMA 8 Tonight, Lloyd Noble Center, ESPN
Kansas 22-4,9-2 Big 12
OFFENSE
The Jayhawks have excelled at creating open looks off of turnovers and rebounds. They have also seemed to find their preferred pace: an up-tempo game with lots of finesse plays. Both those things may be hard to accomplish tonight against Oklahoma, which prides itself on playing physical, hard-nosed defense.
Junior center Sasha Kaun and freshman forward Darrell Arthur will have to control the rebounding battle, because both teams will be looking for tip-ins and second-chance points. If they can do that, it should take some of the heat off the guards, allowing them to shoot more freely and break the game open from behind the arc.
KU
Oklahoma 15-12,6-8 Big 12
JET
NCE
DEFENSE
Junior guard Rus sell Robinson will be missed the most on this end of the court. Freshman guard Sherron Collins and sophomore guard Mario Chalmers both have quick hands, which they use to create turnovers. Robinson provided the steadying veteran presence that was important in close games. Tonight will be a big test for junior guard Rodrick Stewart, who has played well in the recent blowouts but hasn't had too many opportunities in big-game situations. He'll get quality minutes tonight, and a good performance could help him earn some future minutes.
KU KU KU
MOMENTUM
It's GameDay custom not to award four Jayhawks before a road game, but if any team deserves it, it's this one. Kansas is probably the hottest team in America right now, and outside of an early-season scare in Ames, no middle-tier Big 12 team has been able to hang with the Jayhawks. Tonight is Senior Night in Norman, and fans always get pumped up for Big Monday when the Jayhawks are visiting, but by now the team is used to that type of atmosphere. Look for the Jayhawks to establish the inside game early and use that to get Brandon Rush some shots — and some confidence.
QU QU
OFFENSE
The talent and the experience is there, but this offense hasn't put it together all year. Oklahoma features legit scorers in Longar Longar, David Godbold, Nate Carter, Michael Neal and Austin Johnson. Each one of these players has a strength – Godbold and Neal are shooters, Longar can bang inside – but none of them have enough of an all-around game to be a real threat. In conference play, Carter has emerged as the Sooners' go-to-player and stepped up his scoring average from around 11 points per game to 16.4 points per game. But he's been struggling in Oklahoma's recent slide. He hasn't put the team in scoring in any of the past four games.
DEFENSE
Pencil in Oklahoma for third, behind Kansas and Texas A&M, in the race for the Big 12's best defense. The Sooners always had the reputation of being a tough, grind-it-out team when Kelvin Sampson was their coach. With Sampson out and first year coach Jeff Capel in, Oklahoma has not changed a bit. The Sooners still prefer hard-fought battles that lead to scores in the 60s. It doesn't matter a whole lot that Oklahoma is slightly dysfunctional on offense, because its defense is that good. The Sooners give up only 58.2 points per

qu qu qu
MOMENTUM
Two weeks ago, college basketball analysts labeled the Sooners as a possible NCAA Tournament team. They had won four games in a row and had a chance to upset Texas A&M at home Feb. 17. But something really bad happened. Oklahoma lost to Iowa State before blowing an early lead against A&M a few days later. Now, the Sooners are in the midst of a four game losing streak after dropping a home game against Texas last Saturday. The NCAA Tournament is no longer an option. Oklahoma has to play hard just to keep its overall record above .500 and we a chance competing in the NIT.

TIP-OFF
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
Lloyd Noble pride. Early on in this season, Oklahoma had as good of a home court advantage as anyone. The only game it lost in the non-conference season was to Alabama, which was ranked in the top 10 at the time. The Sooners won their first five conference home games, but have now lost two in a row at home. Win tonight and Lloyd Noble pride remains.
STAR WATCH
Longar Longar has the ability to go off. He only averaged about two points per game
his first two years, but he once scored 27 points in a game. This year, he's scored more than 20 points on four occasions and boosted his average to 11.2 points per game. Longar has struggled slightly in conference play, but he is Oklahoma's best chance at winning the battle inside, which will be crucial in tonight's game.
Longar
QUESTION MARK
CAN OKLAHOMA — OR ANY TEAM — STOP KANSAS?
The Jayhawks are playing with invincibility right now, it's impossible to envision any Big 12 foe besides Texas &M Giving Kansas a run for its money. Oklahoma has to play its best game of the season just to have a chance. Even if Oklahoma slows the game down successfully it might not matter. Kansas State did it last week and still lost by nine.
3 REASONS OU WINS
ONE - The Norman-area hasn't been friendly to the Jayhawks. Kansas hasn't won there since 2001.
TWO - In Kansas' last few blowout victories, it has controlled the glass. Oklahoma will not allow the Jayhawks to do that. The Sooners own the second best rebounding margin in the conference. Whoever wins the battle of the boards has a good chance to win the game.
THREE –The Sooners have one heck of an opportunity tonight on national television. Four straight losses wiped out any of its chances for an at-large tournament bid and now the Sooners are playing for fun.

Carter is only 6'6" but plays forward for the Sooners. Although he always goes against a taller player, he finds a way to score. The match-up against Wright should be particularly interesting, because Wright isn't a typical forward either. Both players can handle the ball and drive. Wright should have the advantage when it comes to rebounding, but both players could easily score 15 or more points.

Crews work to fix potholes
BY JOE HUNT
Last week, Lawrence street crews worked feverishly to repair 1,500 potholes on city streets. Dena Mezger, assistant director of infrastructure and maintenance for the city of Lawrence, said the potholes were caused by fluctuating temperatures and aging streets.
Campbell said the most 'popular' pothole was at the intersection $ \varphi $23rd and Iowa streets. In the middle of the intersection was a series of potholes, and Campbell thought drivers were especially upset about those because it was a busy intersection and drivers were more likely to hit the potholes.
the repairs should last a few years if the weather allowed them to fully cure.
in the crack, expanding and breaking apart the asphalt.
Fluctuations in the weather cause the road to expand and contract, depending on the temperature. That fluctuation creates cracks in the street, and water can seep into those cracks. The water will then freeze
Old roads are also to blame for potholes. Merger said that some of the streets in Lawrence probably hadn't been rebuilt in 100 years.

Delta Force changed the nominees for presidential and vice presidential positions for upcoming elections.
Delta Force shuffles ticket
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Ryan Rowan, Kansas City, Mo. junior, stepped down as the presidential candidate for Delta Force.
John Cross, Kansas City, Mo. junior, and previous vice-presidential nominee, replaced Rowan as the presidential nominee.
Rowan, Pan-Hellenic senator, stepped down to take the position as chair for the Big 12 Council on Black Student Government. He plans to continue to make an impact on the University through a Senate seat.
Delta Force then nominated Liz Stueve, Lawrence junior, as the vice presidential nominee.
"I had a decision to make on where I could better serve my community," Rowan said. "The chance to make an impact through the Big 12 Council is a great opportunity."
"It was a difficult choice for Ryan," Cross said. "Delta Force fully supports his decision."
Rowan also supports Delta Forces
"John will make an excellent president and Liz will help him succeed." Rowan said.

Jarrod Morgenstern, Overland Park, junior, and communications director for Delta Force, said he was happy with the change.
"I am excited to see Liz added to the Delta Force ticket. She is so passionate and committed to making KU the best place it can be for students."
Stuewe planned to run as a senator for Delta Force this spring but was thrilled with her new nomination.
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity to serve the layhawk nation." Stuewe said.
Cross said the change in Delta Force's election ticket will not affect campaign progress.
"Delta Forces isn't about just one or two people, it's about values and positive change." Cross said.

Pay Heed, All Who Enter:
BEWARE OF "THE PHOS"
The banners are now available on his Web site, www payheedbanners. com, and several bookstores in town will soon carry them.
BY KYLE CARTER
The banner, *Pay heed, all who enter*. Beware of the Phog. `hangs` in Allen Fieldhouse and two Lawrence bars. Will Miller, Shenner Student, now sells the online outline and in stores soon.
Will Miller, Shawnee senior, wanted a banner for his apartment like the one hanging in the north end of Allen Fieldhouse. "Pay heed. All who enter: Beware of the Phog." He looked for one at bookstores and sports shops and couldn't find the banners anywhere, so he decided to do something about it.
Miller talked to the Athletics Department and developed a design and a business plan that it approved. He then worked with the Collegiate Licensing Company to
become an officially licensed vendor of the banners.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Not just anyone can get licensed to sell official University of Kansas merchandise. The process took Miller more than four months. He gives 9 percent of his profits to the Athletics Department for royalties, which is the standard fee.
Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St., and Wayne & Larry's Sports Bar and Grill, 933 Iowa St., both display the banners in their bars, but Miller said most of his business came from students and fans in the Lawrence and Kansas City area.

City law could include jail time
BY MATT ERICKSON
Bring a gun near a Lawrence bar, and you'll go to jail. That's the message Mayor Mike Amyx wants to send.
The city law only applies to people who don't have a concealed carry license from the state.
Amyx proposed mandatory jail sentences for anyone who brought firearms in or near a bar at last week's city commission meeting. A city ordinance enacted last year prohibits firearms within 200 feet of the premises of drinking establishments but does not require jail time.
"We created the ordinance, and we still have been able to see that the problem hasn't gone away," Amyx said.
Amyx suggested a 30-day jail sentence for first-time offenders, with the sentences increasing to 90 days for a second offense and 180 or more for a third.
He said the city law had failed to eliminate problems with weapons around bars, and jail sentences would send a more powerful message discouraging people from breaking the ordinance.
City Commissioner David Schauner said he would prefer an entertainment licensing system as an immediate step to curtail bar violence. He said such a system would require entertainment venues that attracted a certain number of patrons to obtain a license, and businesses would lose their licenses if they had problems with weapons or violence.
"It it puts more burden on the entertainment owner or operator than on public resources" Schauer said.
He said he wasn't opposed to mandatory jail sentences for bringing weapons near bars, but he said an entertainment licensing system would be a better first step.
"Id rather take progressive steps on this issue," Schauner said.
Amyx said he and the rest of the commission would be open to any step to decrease violence around bars, and he said they would probably discuss a number of solutions this year.
"I think everything's on the table," he said.
Steve Gaudreau, owner of Quinton's Bar and Deli at 615 Massachusetts St., and The Bar at 623 Vermont St., said that a few downtown businesses were mostly responsible for the bar-related violence that has occurred in Lawrence.
Someone fired shots inside Last Call, 729 New Hampshire St., in May 2006, causing the patrons inside to die. One man died outside the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., after a shooting in February 2006.
However, bars outside downtown have also had problems with weapons.
Employees at Cross Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave., called the police early on the morning of Feb. 17 when they saw someone holding a handgun outside

Greased Lightning replica crashes in orchestra pit
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands
Whoab Greased Lightning!
Dutch theater-goers were shocked Sunday night when a would-be John Fravolta and his Olivia Newton-John look-alike counterpart were injured as their car plunged into the orchestra pit during a performance of the musical "Grease."
Jim Bakkum got a concussion and Bettina Holwerda may have broken her arm, the director of the Almere City Theater, Peter Swinkels, told Dutch television.
"Jim was driving. ... She (Bettina) was able to jump off before it went over to the edge, and Jim went down with the car" Swinkels told RTL Nieuws. No musicians were injured, as the car happened to land in an empty part of the pit.
Both were immediately taken to hospital for treatment in the town of Almere, nine miles east of Amsterdam.
The car, dubbed "Greased Lightning" during a song in the play, was made up of the chassis of a classic red-and-white convertible and the engine of a golf cart.
The incident took place during a scene where the characters made famous by Travolta and Newton-John in the movie version — Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson
go to a drive-in movie in the car.
Police in Idaho not amused by shrink-wrap iokester
BOISE, Idaho — A prakster is stretching sheets of plastic wrap across a Boise road — but police don't think the joke is very funny.
For the second time in as many months, Boise police responded to a report from a motorist last week who struck one of the see-through barriers, which had been stretched between two power poles.
"This is not a joke." Said Boise police Sgt. Paul Burch. "This is a very reckless activity and creates a serious hazard to the public."
The act of stretching plastic across the roadway would typically be a misdemeanor — obstructing a road. But if it results in an injury, the culprit could be charged with a felony, police said.

'Rent-a-wife'business cleans up men's messes
GRANTS PASS, Ore. — A woman who started a "Renta-Wife" business says she'll do lots of things for men, but only when it comes to housework.
Dawn Haney started advertising her cleaning business as "Rent-a-Wife" two weeks ago. She offers housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, windows, errands, help with bookkeeping and even being a party hostess for single men.
Of course, the name of her business draws lots of questions. Asked how far her wifely chores go, she says, "not that far."
Of course, some people don't get the joke.
She said she got a call from one person asking if it was an escort service, and another who was looking for a companion.
"When I explained that wasn't what I do, at least he was polite," she said.

Hard drive failure shuts down site
BY BRIAN LEWIS-JONES
Viewers trying to access The University Daily Kansan Web site over the next couple of days will have a hard time finding the news.
Ryan Berg, Buffalo Grove, Ill.
senior and director of media convergence for www.kansan.com, said the server, which crashed on Thursday, is on but full of unnamed files. Kansan staff is mending the injured Internet page.
"We're going to do everything we can get news on ASAP." Berg
said.
Berg has to open each file on the Web site and re-enter several pieces of crucial data, such as what section the individual article belongs or whether it's a file from the new or old version of the Kansan Web site.
He said the most recent stories would be on the Web site in about two days. Archived stories will be gradually added.
Dan Cox, director of the World Company online division, said a hard drive failure corrupted data on the Kansan's server at the World Cox.
The World Co. is the parent company of The Lawrence JournalWorld, who hosts the kansan.com server.
The Kansan Web site was redesigned at the end of January. Berg said the server crash was unrelated to the redesign.
Story archives, photos and user profiles were lost in the crash
server facility.
Berg is fixing the individual tiles while Natalie Ward, Leawood sophomore and Kansan web editor, reorganizes the Web site.
Ward spent eight hours reloading staff lists and story categories to the Web site. She said all registered users will have to re-register

"We haven't addressed the archive issue yet. We're going from here and uploading current content onward," she said.

RESEARCH FUNDING
School sustains high ranking
BY DANAE DESHAZER
The School of Pharmacy secured research funding in 2006 of more than $14.5 million from the National Institutes of Health, ranking the school third nationwide for the six consecutive year.
The school has been in the top five since 1996, largely because of the low rate of faculty turnover, said
Ken Audus,
professor and dean of pharmacy. Audus said with the potential of three new faculty hired this year, he hoped to stay in the top three for years to come.
"It's like drafting a football player", Audus said. "You draft them on the potential of being a star. We have become very fortunate that the faculty we have hired have become stars."
University of Colorado and the University of Texas Audus said that The University of California, San Francisco has remained at the No.1 spot for more than 25 years.
The funding secured last year will support 37 different research grants and contracts, including vaccine development, diabetes research and cardiovascular disease studies.
"We are looking to do better all the time. Our faculty never disappoints when it comes to succeeding."
KEN AUDUS Dean of School of Pharmacy
Only two other Big 12 universities ranked in the top 25: the
Audus said over the past years, it had been more difficult to secure funding because of a decrease in NIH budget and an increase in grant applications.
"Unless you can get in the top 12 percent
or less, you're not going to get funded," Audus said.
The government creates the NIH budget. Audus said that until the federal government decided that NIH funding was a priority again, research competition would
increase and funding would prove more difficult to secure.
Jeffrey Krise, assistant professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, said he thought that a lot of the previous NIH budget was used to fund the military, which was why the grants had been harder to secure.
Krise said another difficulty in securing funding was the caliber of professionals in research. He said he hadn't been competing with a run-of-the-mill group of people, but with the top echelon of researchers.
Despite the decrease in NIH budgets, the school has remained successful. Audus said that to secure funding, the application must be creative, innovative, and important in an area of health science as deemed by peers.
"We are looking to do better all the time," Audus said. "Our faculty never disappoints when it comes to succeeding."

NATION Man sentenced for stealing uncut sheets of $100 bills
NATION
WASHINGTON — A former Treasury Department employee was sentenced to nine months in federal prison Monday for stealing more than $67,000 in uncut sheets of $100 bills that he tried to launder through casino slot machines.
David C. Faison, 56, was also ordered to pay back the government $37,200 — the amount he fed to slot machines.
The rest of the money — nine sheets of partially printed S100 bills — was recovered at Faison's house in Largo, Md., hidden inside a roll of Christmas wrapping paper.
Faison was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman less than a year after he admitted to the scheme and pleaded guilty on Sept. 6 to federal charges of theft of tools and material for counterfeiting purposes. Additionally, he will be put on supervised release for three years after serving his prison term.
Faison had worked as a stock control recorder, distributing currency paper within the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, when he stole 21 sheets of partially printed $100 bills. Each sheet contained 32 bills, which were missing serial numbers and Treasury Department seals.

POTHOLES (CONTINUED FROM TA)
Lately, she said the city had been better about doing intermediate level maintenance on city streets to prolong their life before more drastic repairs had to be made.
Campbell said a grey concrete layer was underneath the black asphalt on most roads. That layer was old and crumbled on many Lawrence roads, and that unstable surface for the asphalt to rest on was what caused many potholes to form.
"A lot of times that concrete layer underneath the pothole is so deteriorated it's like gravel, it not bound together by anything." Campbell said.
Merger said the city was looking toward the future when it came to
road maintenance.
"We haven't spent as much as we could in the past on maintenance, but we have been trying to pick it up the past few years."
"In terms of upkeep, there's a lot worse places than Lawrence."

Miller said he hoped selling the banners in bookstores in Lawrence and Kansas City would make more people aware of his product. Last year he designed "KUnit" T shirts, a play on the rap group G-Unit, and sold them online. He said that experience made it easier for him to set up his business selling banners. Miller said he spent nearly a $1,000 on start-up costs for the business, including a $300 application fee, $400 for product liability insurance, a $100 royalties advance to the University and money spent on advertising. He said he covered the start-up costs and was now making a profit. He plans to graduate this spring with a aerospace engineering degree and will continue to run the business alongside either a job or graduate school.

GIRL SCOUT COOKIES
Troops eliminate trans fat
NEW YORK — For much of the country, it's Girl Scout cookie time again. And this year, all those cookies, not just the Thin Mints and a few others, will come nearly free of harmful trans fats.
The change reflects a movement by the scouts in recent years to add an element of health consciousness to their annual bake sale.
The Girl Scouts have marked their 90th year in the cookie business by getting most of the artificial fat out of all varieties of their iconic treats, which had been under attack by a few health-focused consumer groups.
This year, about half of all Girl Scout troops are also offering a sugar-free cookie called the Little Brownie. A cookie with reduced saturated fat, the Cartwheel, was also introduced last year.
Tinkering with a popular recipe is something no cook does lightly, and Girl Scouts of the USA Vice President Denise J. Pessick said the
changes were only made after the two commercial bakeries that make the cookies found trans-lat alternatives that didn't compromise flavor, texture or shell life.
Pessich said she was confident tans would notice few differences. The recipe changes have also given troop leaders an opportunity to talk more about the importance of eating right, Pessich said.
"They know that, for one thing, you need to make informed choices. You need to read labels," she said.
In making the adjustments, the scouts are following other manufacturers who rid their products of trans fats after the Food and Drug Administration began requiring food labels to carry information on the substance last year. Scientific studies have linked trans fats to heart disease.
The first "zero trans" Girl Scouts cookies made their debut in the fall of 2005, including a reformulated version of the top-selling Thin
Consumer, reaction is still developing. Most troops take their orders in January and begin deliveries in late February or early March.
Mint. The remaining varieties had most trans fats eliminated by last October.
"People are saying, 'It's about time'," said Ho. "Everybody is conscious of the trans-fat issue... My own sister used to rub me in the ribs sometimes and say, When are you going to go healthy?"
But — taste aside — the initial feedback has been positive, said Anna Hho who organizes sales for Troop 805 in Paspanyev, N.I.
The scouts have been careful not to bill the updated cookies as health food. Even with the changes, most varieties are still high in sugar and saturated fat.
"Like any snack food, you talk about moderation." Pessh said. "We know we aren't selling broccoli."

OUR VIEW
Afghanistan focus distracted by Iraq
The global war on terror requires a prioritizing of resources and military allocation based on threat and urgency, and our current focus on the Iraq debacle may be impeding our progress in Afghanistan. Monday's surprise visit to Pakistan by Vice President Dick Cheney underscores a growing concern in both the White House and the Democratic Congress that the Taliban's resurgence is a worsome threat to American security.
President Bush was able to escape much of the criticism that came with the diversion of resources as long as our skeleton crew in Afghanistan kept the vanquished Taliban down. But as recent press reports note and Cheney's visit highlights, the Taliban and their Islamist allies are far from defeated. Taliban fighters last week seized an Afghan town after local police deserted their post — just one example of the recent upswing in Taliban insurgence and downturn in Afghan police competence.
Pakistan's recently negotiated "peace" with the tribal leaders in Waziristan, a northwest region of Pakistan, is little more than a ceding of control to dangerous factions by the government of President Pervez Musharraf. Cheney's visit was intended to scare Pakistan into doing more to crack down on local terrorists, using the specter of revoked American aid as an incentive. Pakistan, the fifth largest recipient of U.S. aid, has little choice but to comply.
The war in Afghanistan, quickly
fought and forgotten as our attention turned to Iraq, was always a dangerous endeavor. In an area where people have little devotion to any concept of nation, we ignored the influence and importance of tribal leaders and affiliation, to our great diplomatic detriment. Our efforts were hurt by our recruitment of suspect allies like Pakistan, whose precariously fragile government is one assassination away from collapse. This frightening scenario would create a power vacuum in a nuclear country with a sizeable terrorist population.
The Iraq imbrogio has created an unfortunate set of military circumstances: depleted reserves, Middle East instability and forced ignorance of other threats. Our commitment to the stability of Afghanistan must be immediately renewed, and the disruption of the al-Qaida network and Taliban resurgence must be top priorities. Despite Bush's insistence that finding Osama bin Laden is unimportant, weakening the networks in these areas is imperative.
Time will tell if the Iraq war has made us safer, but there can be little disagreement that our Afghan efforts have been crippled by the rerouted resources. While the streets of Basra and Baghdad devolve into civil war, the place that truly needs a troop surge goes largely forgotten.

COMMENTARY
Responsibility to end racism rests on blacks too
Some people claim there is no longer tension between blacks and whites in America. However, because I am of both races, I see black-white relations differently from most, and whites are far from treating blacks equally. If whites judged blacks by the same criteria that they used to judge whites, they would stop allowing blacks to use racism as a crutch.
Catchphrases about seeing beyond color have become so commonplace that Stephen Colbert has seized them, saying he has "evolved" and doesn't "see race anymore". But there is a greater number of whites who don't address the issue because
they fear they will be labeled a racist.
But there are black people who would rather play the race card than play by the rules.
I know racism aimed at blacks still exists. And I'm not claiming that all whites and blacks act this way.

For instance, in Chamillionaire's "Ridin" he states, "This is a message to the law, tell em 'we hate you.'" Earlier in the song Krayzie Bone sings, "Doing the under while I puff on the blunt. . . Hope cops don't see me . . . With no regard for the law, we dodge 'em." Similarly, in "Heard 'Em Say," Kanye West states, "I guess

they want us all behind bars, I know it."
Chamillionaire sings about hating cops with no repercussions, even though previously in the song his homeboy Kravitz thaunts their lawless actions, but if someone like Michael Richards calls a black
person a nigger, his reputation is ruined.
Maybe Kaney needs to explain to Chamillionaire and Krayzie that you cannot complain about racial profiling while giving cops reasons within the same song to profile you.
It's bad enough that we don't condemn this behavior. But what's worse is that West was one of Time magazine's top 100 artists and entertainers of 2005 because of "the influence of his medium . . . as well as the complexity of his message"
imperative or his message.
How true. West's message is quite complex; any criticism of the black community is racism, but not vice versa. He's exactly the type
of person we should praise for his positive influence on society
Because of people like Chamillionaire and West, blacks are stereotyped as thinking "the white man is trying to bring blacks down," and magazines like Time are teaching all races that this behavior is acceptable.

We have many important, yet unused by most of us, campus fees that do a lot of good. Let's add one more to benefit us all. By simply increasing our current required campus fee of $320 to $323 per semester
— a mere 9/10 of a percent — we could experience the spring semesters sitting on picnic blankets, slipping juice Juice and watching the clouds form shapes overhead.
Well take $1,400 and buy two paddle boats for Potter's Lake. With our remaining $35,300, we will create a stockpile of marshmallows, graham crackers and Hershey bars for smore parties on the grills by the lake. Estimating on the high end at $4,000 for that, we find $31,300 remaining.
Global warming failed to live up to its kype this winter and those of us who still have nightmares of ice-sheeted campus sidewalks have worn out the ears of our friends with snide remarks about the weather.

First, "Springtime Enjoyment" would place a table in front of Strong Hall stacked with picnic blankets available for checkout every afternoon. Wed spend about $20 a blanket for 50 blankets, totaling $1,000. In addition to the blankets, on Friday at noon, we would set up another table with free picnic lunches on it. Beginning in March, we could cover it with brown-bag lunches and little juice boxes every Friday through the remainder of the semester. I estimate the cost, figuring 4,000 lunches a week at $3 per lunch, to be about $108,000. After all this we still have $36,700 to spend.
I have renounced complaining, however, and have decided instead to take advantage of this spring. I formally propose to our campus political parties, Delta Force and United Students, that they create another required campus fee. I would like to call it the "Mandatory Springtime Enjoyment Fee."
"Mandatory Springtime Enjoyment" would cost the same as the "recycling and environment" fee. Each of us would pay $3 per semester in campus fees, which would yield a yearly amount of $145,700.

FINE ARTS
Design guru addresses students
BY BETHANY BUNCH
BRIAN KROCHER
A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
Jeff Zwerner, graphic designer, talks at Wesco Hall on Monday evening about a project that he worked on with Nike. The image on the screen was a graphical of Nike shoes.
A guru of a design firm that works for big names like Apple and Coca-Cola delivered a hopeful message to an auditorium of fine arts students Monday night.
Jeff Zwerner, graphic designer at Factor Design firm, gave a presentation outlining the changes graphic designers are undergoing and showed examples of his work. Zwerner said graduating fine arts students at the University of Kansas have the preparation they need to be successful visual artists, but launch, renew and envision are the three areas graphic designers should focus on.
Zwerner referred to launch as the beginning of the marketing process Renewal is the time when the company updates their image as the market changes and envision is the last phase when companies look forward to future marketing and design.
"It's nice to see that KU is training their students to think critically." Zwerner said. "Everyone is looking for those kind of people and no one can find them."
His impressive portfolio included Nike Plus, a product in association with Apple's iPod Nano, and Firefly, a cell phone for kids ages 8-12 operated by T-Mobile.
"Firely showed up randomly on our door with a terrible design," Zwerner said. "We convinced them to let us redesign and eight months later it was sold to Target."
Andrea Wertzberger, associate professor in the school of fine arts invited Zwerner to speak on campus. She and Zwerner were former coworkers at Factor Design firm.
"He's the best designer I ever met." Wertzberger said. "He can make thimus glow in Photoshop."
Wertzberger worked in San Francisco at the home office of Factor Design before coming to the University. They worked together on design projects for Apple when it was in "its dark ages," as Zwerner recalls.
He said Apple, Nike and Coca-Cola are huge companies who have large graphic designer staffs. When these companies work with outside firms like Factor Design, they depend
on them to execute every job.
"Everything has to be perfect or your fired because that's how it is with Apple," he said, "Editors, proofs, printers… they have to nail it."
Zwerner recalled a time when his company failed to nail it. Last month, an Apple calendar was sent to a flagship store in Chicago with a glaring typo: January. Factor Design hurried to correct the problem but not before Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, found a copy on his desk.
"I was on a plane to New York," Zwierner said. "And I had a missed call from Apple saving, 'Jeff, you're in deep shit.'"
Gemma Bayly Overland Park
senior, said she spoke with Zwerner over lunch about a potential job opening at Factor Design.
"His firm is hiring and I really want the junior designer position," Bayly said.
Bayly said she agrees with Zwerner that the University has readied her for a career in graphic design.
"I feel absolutely prepared," Bayly said. "Students coming out of Cal Arts aren't as prepared as we are."

Annual event raises more than $94,000 for children's needs
The event, held during six different sessions throughout February at Royal Crest Lanes, 933 Iowa St., brought in a record high of more than $94,000 for the local non-profit organization.

Both big and little volunteers helped Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Douglas County score a strike during this year's annual Bowl For Kids' Sake fundraiser, which ended Saturday.
Becky Price, northeast regional director for Kansas Big Brothers and Big Sisters, said the final amount of money raised would probably exceed $100,000 after the online pledges are tallied.
"The event is just a thank you to the bowlers for helping us get pledges," she said. "It's important to have the event be fun so people feel thanked and appreciated and do it again next year."
Price said fundraising wasn't the only motive behind Bowl For Kids' Sake.
"Money is important, but volunteers are gold," she said.
Price said the organization was always in need of volunteers, especially males, who are at least 18 years old and have a valid driver's license. After a series of background checks, volunteers are paired with children who
"Hed been sick all that week and weekend but we already go to the bowling alley together every now and then," he said.
One volunteer, Nate Bolinger,
Pittsburgh senior, was excited to take

have similar interests.
Bolinger said he's never had a problem finding time to spend with his little brother and finding time to concentrate on his own school work.
"As a college student, you have more free time than you are willing to admit," he said.
He said he helped the fifth-grader with his school work too.
She said some of the 630 participants in this year's fundraiser were already Big Brothers and Big Sisters volunteers.
Bowling for Kids' Sake, now in its 15th year, is a benefit for some of those volunteers who form five-member bowling teams and then solicit pledges of $125 per participant. Price said teams often raise more than that amount. All of the pledge money stays in the Douglas County organization and is used to maintain matches between adult volunteers and the children they assist who need positive mentors in their lives.
"People always want to fund new programs and new agencies." Price said. "We have to do events like this."
Price said it takes about $1,000 a year to maintain the matches between each volunteer and child. This year's fundraiser should help match about 100 children and volunteers, Price said.

Price said volunteers could be paired with a child either one-on-one, as a family or they could also volunteer 30 minutes a week to spend at a child's school with him or her.
One other way to volunteer was to become an advocate, said Meg Hooper, public relations specialist for Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
She said advocates helped the organization in its office, with its publications and by assisting with its activities.
She said accommodating all of the 203 children who were waiting to be brought into the Douglas County program would cost about $203,000.

BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
NORMAN, Okla. — March arrived a little early this year.
The layhawks held strong on the road, resisting the Sooners' barrage of pressure defense and three-point shooting to escape with a 67-65 victory.
"We were very fortunate to win tonight," coach Bill Said
After building a 17-point lead in the first half, Kansas watched it vanish in a mix of bad shooting and self-imposed doubt.
"We were a little frustrated we weren't making shots, then they turned up their defensive pressure," sophomore forward Julian Wright said.
Self said the team played "timid" at the start of the second half. The Jayhawks made only one of its seven three-point attempts in the first half and didn't shoot any after halftime.
In the game's final minutes, it was able to advance the ball through Oklahoma's pressure defense and get to the free-throw line enough times to win.
Freshman guard Sherron Collins played a majority of the crunch-time minutes, but credited his teammates for helping him survive the Sooner defense.
"We've got good ball handlers, but you can't dribble against two or three people," he said. "Your teammates have to make the right cuts."
Those teammates remained mostly constant at the end, as Self gave four players — Collins, Wright, Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers — at least 33 minutes of playing time.
Rush, sophomore forward, said
Wright had the best shooting day, finishing 8-for-12 and counteracting a weak performance from Rush on the perimeter.

Jayhawks look to rebound at Oral Roberts
MACKENzie
The Jayhawks are in Tulsa today for a match with Oral Robers. This will be the fourth game the Jayhawks have played in five days.
BY ALISSA BAUER
After getting back to town in the wee hours of Monday morning from a winless and seemingly long trip to Palo Alto, Calif., coach Ritch Price said he was looking forward to another round of traveling before leaving for Oral Roberts (3-5) on Monday evening.
Price and his Jayhawks (7-4) hopped a bus for Tulsa last night to avoid the five hour drive immediately before today's 3 p.m. game. Getting into town a few hours earlier may boost the Jayhawks into snapping out of their losing woes.
KANSAN FILE PHOTO
"When you've just lost three in a row, you've got to find a way to win," Price said.
After an 11 day hiatus from game play because of the weather and poor field conditions. Price and his team will have played four games in five days. The intense schedule may be difficult and travel-heavy, but at least games are being played.
During Friday night's loss, Price said he watched his players swing at nearly 25 balls in the dirt. Those were the same pitches the layhawes were avoiding on Sunday after working back into game mode towards the end of weekend.
"We don't make excuses," Price said. "But I'm confident in how hard we played that if we didn't have those two weeks off and had played the weekend before — we could've won the series."
That extended full between games caused the team to step backwards,
Price said last week. Without the layoff, last weekend's results against Stanford (7-5) may have turned out differently.
Playing in the Mid-Continent Conference, Oral Roberts will take on No. 13 Texas (9-6) this weekend and is slated to face No. 5 Arkansas (9-3) in two weeks.
serious opponent, but snapping their losing streak against Big 12 Conference powerhouse Baylor on Sunday proved their worth.
"They play in probably the weakest conference in America," Price said. "But their non-conference season is one of the toughest in the country."
"That's why we went though," Price said, explaining that the only way to get his team game-ready is by playing games, and it's all the more helpful if those games are against quality teams capable of sweeping the series.
The Golden Eagles look as if they will provide that caliber of competition that Price deems necessary. On the surface, their 3-5 start disagrees with the Golden Eagles' threat as a
Playing in rough waters, Oral Roberts was swept by Texas Christian University two weekends ago and Baylor took the first two games last weekend, pushing the Golden Eagles' losing streak to five games.
Oral Roberts refused to buckle. Using a strong offensive stand and a record-breaking pitching performance, the Golden Eagles prevented the sweep. In fact, Kansas and Oral Roberts were in the same boat this weekend as the Golden Eagles dropped a tough one, 3-2.

with selection Sunday tess than two weeks away, it is not to early to look ahead
to who Kansas does NOT want to play in March.
I understand that if Kansas wants to make the Final Four, it is going to have to play and beat tough teams, but there are a select few teams that would pose matchup problems, and potentially may even be more talented than Kansas.
The first team that Kansas should hope it does not see is North Carolina. Sure, the Tar Heels have lost some games to average teams, but if there is a team that is more talented than Kansas, it is North Carolina. But I am still not sold on Tyler Hansbrough. Maybe that is because I think he has yet to learn how to master the task of running and closing your mouth at the same time. Watch him sometime. He plays the entire game with his mouth open.
Back to serious thoughts. CBS would love this matchup and so would many KU fans. But, if you go down the UNC roster, it is filled with talented player after talented player. Much like Kansas, it is a young team, with three freshmen and one sophomore who average more than 10 points a game.
Kansas does not want to play Florida again, even though it has played poorly for the past two weeks. Everyone hates Joakim Noah, and I think he is my most hated college player since I hated Ray Allen when he played at Connecticut in the mid-1990s. Problem is, he is pretty good, even though he thinks he can do what ever he wants, like try to steal the ball from Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings Sure, Kansas squeaked by Florida in Las Vegas, but noAh loves being hated and he seems to use it to his advantage. He would use it that November loss as motivation. Remember the UCLA cheerleaders that called him ugly throughout the Final Four? Well, he certainly shut them up by destroying the Bruins in Indianapolis last year.
Florida will be the most experienced team come March. Taurean Green is one of the best guards and Lee Humphrey can hit three from anywhere on the floor.
Finally, Kansas does not want to play Georgetown. It is the hottest team in the country, winners of 11 straight going into last night's contest against rival Syracuse. The Hoyas provide more matchup problems than any team in America. It runs the Princeton offense. You know, the one with all the cuts.
Except Georgetown runs the offense with athletes, not just some disciplined smart kids in New Jersey. Someone once called it the "Princeton offense on steroids."
Jeff Green, Georgetown's star 6-foot-9 forward may be the most versatile player in the country. He can rebound, block shots, and hit threes. If he is not Big East player of the year it is because fellow Hoya Roy Hilbert got the award. Hilbert is the 7-foot 2 center who makes 70 percent of his shots and alters anyone who tries to take the ball to the lane on the defensive side. Coach John Thompson III has turned the program around much

Aggies worthy of top seed
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2007
Texas A&M's resumé as impressive as that of any other team
for the past week, all I've heard on ESPN is that Florida. North Carolina.
Wisconsin, Ohio State, UCLA and Kansas are the only six teams that have separated themselves for No. 1 seed consideration. One team is noticeably absent from that list — Texas A&M.
BY TRAVIS ROBINETT
KANSAN SPORTS COLUMNIST
TROBINETT@KANSAN.COM
Tell me, what have those six teams done to separate themselves from Texas A&M? The Aggies only have four losses, as few as anyone but Ohio State. They lost at UCLA, but who can blame them? They lost at LSU, but so did Florida. They were swept by Texas Tech, but North Carolina was swept by a similar team at Virginia Tech.
They have a road victory against Kansas; none of the other six have a victory even close to as good as that. They are also tied for the lead in the Big 12 Conference.
So please, I'd really like to know what eliminated Texas A&M from the running for a No. 1 seed.
Its resume is better than Kansas'
OK, so Kansas is demolishing teams
lately and Texas A&M is still just
winning fairly close games. But
Texas A&M doesn't have a loss like Oral Roberts on its resume, and its victory at Kansas is better than Kansas' against Florida on a neutral court.
Texas A&M's argument against the rest of the field should always go back to its victory in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas is at a disadvantage against Texas A&M just because of that victory.
But compare Texas &AM; to others in contention, and the Aggies could say that they've had a better season than any.
Ohio State's accomplishments don't measure up to Texas A&M's. The Buckeyes have only defeated two ranked teams all year in Wisconsin and Tennessee, and both of these came at home. By the way,
Tennessee only has one conference road victory this season. Ohio State also lost at North Carolina, at Florida and at Wisconsin. Those were their only three chances to match the Aggies' victory at Kansas, and they failed
The UCLA Bruins are the only team that has a significant advantage against Texas A&M, and that's just because of its head-to-head win
Then there's North Carolina, Florida and Wisconsin. All are slumping at the wrong time, each having lost two games recently. At this point, either could easily be a No. 2 seed behind Texas A&M.
If Texas A&M wins at Texas and then wins the Big 12 Tournament, I don't see how a No. 1 seed could be denied to Billy Gillispie's team. Better yet, the Aggies should go to the South Regional in San Antonio, Texas. I think they deserve it. My message to the tournament committee: At least consider it.

Rolen, La Russa resolve postseason guarrel
MLB
JUPITER, Fla. — Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and third baseman Scott Rolen are talking again, and both agree the rift that began in the 2006 postseason is over.
The two shook hands last week outside La Russa's office at the St. Louis Cardinals' spring training complex. The two had not spoken since the disagreement began five months ago.
"It's a dead issue," Rolen said Monday. "It's healthy to be a dead issue. Walking around with a wall between you isn't very healthy for any relationship."
La Russa said he never had an "issue" with Rolen, even as their deteriorating relationship became sensationalized during the Cardinals' World Series run last October.
The split started in late September when Rolen was not in the lineup for a critical game against the Astros and pitcher Roy Oswalt.
La Russa, believing Rolen's tender shoulder was negatively impacting his swing, sat Rolen for Game 2 of the National League Division Series and Game 2 of the NLCS.
Rolen, though, responded on the field. He hit safely in the final 10 postseason games and finished the World Series with a .421 average.
Ohio State was ranked No. 1 for all of 1960-61 and 1961-62, a run of 27 straight polls. The Buckeyes won the national championship in 1960 and lost the title game to Cincinnati in 1961 and 1962.

Gold medal wrestler survives plane crash
SALT LAKE CITY — Olympic wrestling champion Rulon Gardner lost a toe to frostbite after being stranded in the wilderness, impaled himself with an arrow and was involved in a serious motorcycle accident.
BY DOUG ALDEN ASSOCIATED PRESS
In his latest escape from death, he survived a plane crash over the weekend into the aptly named Good Hope Bay on the Utah-Arizona border.
"I think I'm really lucky," Gardner told CNN on Monday, "after everything I have been through."
Gardner and two Utah brothers were rescued by a fisherman Sunday after swimming more than an hour in 44 degree water and spending the night without shelter.
None suffered life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
"It takes only about 30 minutes for someone swimming in 44-degree water to start suffering the effects of hypothermia, so the fact that they swam in it for an hour, not to mention surviving the plane crash and the night without fire or shelter, is pretty amazing," said Steven Luckenstein, a district ranger at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. "If these guys were a cat with nine lives, they
just used up three of them."
Since delivering one of the great Olympic upsets at the 2000 Sydney Games, the 35-year-old Gardner has had a history of harrowing escapes.
In 2002, he became stranded while snowmobiling in the Wyoming and lost a toe. Then in 2004, he was struck by an automobile while riding a motorcycle. Back in third grade, he punctured his abdomen with an arrow at a class show-and-tell.
In his latest brush, Gardner was a passenger in a Cirrus SR 22 with pilot Randy Brooks and brother Leslie. They were looking at a houseboat from the air when the plane dipped into the water, Garfield County public information officer Becki Bronson said.
The lesson, Gardner said, is "hopefully teach people to be smarter about the choices they make."
"The plane went from 150 mph to none in about 2 seconds," Gardner told CNN. "Within about a half a second is when we knew that things went from a beautiful day, a beautiful afternoon, all the way to a pretty bad situation."
Authorities were uncertain of the exact location of the crash and were investigating the cause.
Once they were rescued, Gardner and the brothers called a relative to take them for medical attention.

NFL
Rams let stalwart guard go Super Bowl teammate plans to keep playing football
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams on Monday released guard Adam Timmerman, a team stalwart who played in two Super Bowls for the team.
Timmerman was informed by Rams coach Scott Linehan that he was being released from the club, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, said.
Timmerman, 35, has no plans to retire.
"I think they just wanted to make a change," Bartelstein said. "It's a difficult thing for Adam. He feels great and he's looking forward to having a great season.
"His body feels great and he's ready to go. This is a tough part of the business."
The Rams were expected to announce the release on
Wednesday.
Timmerman had both shoulders operated on after last season and ended this season with a rib injury.
Bartelstein, based in Chicago, said it could happen as early as Tuesday. Linchan was at the NFLs annual scouting组合 in Indianapolis.
away from Green Bay in free agency after the 1998 season.
The Rams signed Timmerman
He became part of the starting lineup at right guard and stayed there the next eight seasons, playing in 10 playoff games and two Super
season and playoff, since his rookie season in 1995 with the Green Bay Packers. He missed the Rams' last three games with cracked ribs, ending that run.
The Rams brought in a young offensive line interior that included Richie Incognito at Timmerman's right guard spot.
"He feels great and he's looking forward to having a great season. His body feels great and he's ready to go."
Timmerman built a streak of 204 consecutive games, both regular
Bowls for the Rams and earning two Pro Bowl berths.
MARK BARTELSTEIN Adam Timmerman's agent
Incognito will have that spot at the start of training camp.
Rams offen- sive coordi nator Greg Olson said in January that the team has some "aging veterans up front who
have done a tremendous job for the team," but who eventually would be replaced.

YOUR GRADUATION HEADQUARTERS
So who should Kansas hope to play? Kansas would love to play anyone from the Big Ten conference, even Ohio State led by Greg Oden. That conference does not impress me and I don't know how it impresses recruits. The game scores are usually in the 40s or 50s and it must be difficult for the fans to get excited for 15 straight possessions of passing the ball around the perimeter, leading to a clanked three. There are some great coaches in that league, just not good players. If you watched Ohio State's 49-48 win over Wisconsin on Sunday, you were probably just as bored as I was.

Kansas coach Bill Self reacts after the Jayhawks received another foul during the game against Oklahoma on Monday night in the Lovell Queen篮. The Jayhawks finished 20-10.
Chalmers hits key free throws late
NORMAN, Okla. — Free throws were a problem for Kansas all night, but the team made enough in the game's final minutes to secure a 67-65 victory against Oklahoma.
BY MICHAEL PHILLIPS
Sophomore guard Mario Chalmer made 10 of his 12 attempts, including a perfect 6-for-6 in the final five minutes of the game.
"I just try to cancel out the crowd and stay focused," he said. "We hit the free throws when we needed to"
Other players weren't as successful, and for a stretch in the second half the Jayhawks made only slightly more than half of their attempts from the charity stripe.
In the game's final minute, sophomore forward Julian Wright missed two free throws, sophomore guard Brandon Rush made one of two, and Chalmers and junior guard Russell Robinson converted both of their attempts.
Chalmers' poise helped the layhawts to victory, and was also important because he hadn't had a breakout game recently. Coach Bill Self said that the nature of the team is for different players to step up on different nights.
The Sooners, meanwhile, were able to convert 79 percent of their attempts in the second half, enough to make the layhawk big men think twice about fouling.
"You could almost ask me who our best player is at each TV time out," he joked.
The final two from Chlamers, with 22.2 seconds showing on the clock, were especially crucial as they pushed the Kansas lead to five.
Oklahoma forward Nate Carter credited those late attempts with sealing the game.
"They are the No. 3 team in the country for a reason," he said. "They made a lot of their free throws down the stretch."
Robinson returns from injury:
injury:
Junior guard Russell Robinson returned to the court after missing Saturday's game due to injury, Freshman guard Sherron Collins kept his starting spot, with Robinson joining him at the first timeout.
"Russell's doing fine," self said,
"Hes a little winded, but fine."
Senior night in Oklahoma:
The Sooners honored four seniors for their contributions, but most notable was guard Kellen Sampson, son of former coach Kelvin Sampson.
The elder Sampson left Oklahoma last year after 12 seasons to become coach at Indiana, causing speculation that fans would boo him during his return. He looked visibly nervous as he came out of the tunnel, but broke into a smile when fans greeted him with a standing ovation.
He was introduced twice: the first time as Kellen's father and at halftime he was recognized as the former coach.
"I'm excited to be here as a parent and support Kellen," Kelvin said before the game. "It's really the first time I've seen him. I saw him for 48 hours at Christmas. I haven't had a chance to see him since then."
One game from a conference title:
Kansas can win at least a share of the Big 12 title by defeating Texas at home this Saturday. Coach Bill Self said that winning the conference was one of the team's goals, and that they were happy to have the opportunity to do so.
He won't, however, be throwing any parties to watch Texas A&M play its remaining games. If the Aggies lose, the lajahwks could win the title outright. Self will have problems of his own, though. Texas' freshman phenom Kevin Durant has been terrorizing opponents all year.
"I can't wait," Self said sarcastically.
"ly. I'm really fired up about that."

The Jayhawks never could connect from behind the three-point line, finishing 1-for-7 with all those attempts in the first half. The Sooners found limited success inside, but came up with some big three-pointies in the second half. Both teams had a significant percentage of their scoring come at the free-throw line (not pictured). The Jayhawks made 22-for-34 and the Sooners went 19-for-25. Of the Jayhawks' 34 attempts, all but two came in the second half. Shot chart information compiled by Oklahoma Athletics.
view from press row
Don't try to press Sherron Collins. I don't know why every team thinks they're the first to try it, but it happens for about two minutes of every game. The strategy has never worked against him, but apparently that's not enough to stop teams from trying.
Brandon Rush is great at letting the game come to him, but that's not always a compliment. Sometimes he needs to force himself to score points, even during blowout games. It's not in Rush's personality, but coach Bill Self wants him to be "the man" for the Jayhaws.
» Interesting call by the officials to give Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel a technical foul at the start of the second half. There were probably better ways to send a message in that situation, though Capel probably won't complain too much about it: His team cut the Kansas lead to seven in the minutes after the foul.
>> If you're in a class with me this morning, I apologize in advance for my subconscious humming of "Boomer Sooner." After the 935th rendition, it became permanently ingrained in my memory.
» It was a white-out in Norman, where all the fans wore white shirts that were given out. It was the only impressive
color I've seen this year, and that brings me to my point: The only acceptable colors to coat an arena in are bright ones. Forget a "blue out," or red, or black. It's not visually appealing. The only way a crowd can stand out is with a bright color, like white, yellow or orange. If the Jayhawks want to try something similar, white or bright red are their only options.
》 Sherron Collins and Russell Robinson at the same time is a powerful combination. Both possess great slashing ability, which means that inside players have to keep an eye on both of them in case they make a sudden move for the hoop.

Russian transfer finds her rhythm
Elizaveta Avdeeva impresses coach opponents with on-court ability
BY RUSTIN DODD
Elizayeta Avdeyeva has plenty of experience irritating her opponents.
experience in training her opponents.
Of course, playing Adeveea would drive you battie, too. Avdeeva (teammates call her Liaa) might look like Little Bo Peep, but don't let her appearance fool you. This 5-foot-9-inch Russian native with a spectacular forehand slugs it out from the baseline like a bare-knuckled brawler.
As expected, Avdeeva has no problem being a nuisance for her opponents on the court.
“It's nice,” she said. “If I see something doesn't work [in their game], I just try to take advantage.”
Need more proof? Ask Petra Dizdar of Texas. Dizdar came into her Jan. 27 match against Avedee a three time All Big 12 player, but walked off the court aggrandized and empty handed, as Avedee defeated Dizcar 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3.
Yet, for all of Advedeva early-season success it is easy to forget how far she has come in the past four years.
In the fall of 2004, Avdeeva was a freshman at Moscow State University looking for a way to play tennis at the collegiate level, but Moscow State did not have a women's tennis program, so Avdeeva was forced to look elsewhere.
"I still wanted to play tennis, but I just didn't have a chance to play," she said.
Enter Kansas and coach Amy Hall-Holt.
Avdeva became a layhawk in January 2005, and shortly after claimed the No.1 singles spot. However, Avdeva's transition to Division I collegiate tennis and life in the United States was filled with a few obstacles.
"The first couple months were really hard for me to get used to the new environment,new people,the team environment."
and No. 1 doubles with Ksenia Bukina, Avdeeva was named All-Big 12 in singles and doubles. She also excelled in the classroom and named to the Academic All-Big 12 team. For Avdeeva, the transformation was all about maturity.
"The first couple months were really hard for me to get used to the new environment, new people, the team environment" she said. "You practice with the team, you focus on team goals, that was kind of different."
Adeveela struggled to a 5-13 record in her freshman singles campaign, but bounced back in a big way during her sophomore season. Competing at No. 2 singles
"My freshman year. I started to play No 1, and I just was losing matches. I was impatient. I was trying to hit balls really hard," she said. "Last year and this year I changed my game. I became more patient. I think I'm playing smarter."
Coming in to the 2007 season, the pressure was squarely on Avdeeva to live up to her 2006 accolades, and thus far, she has answered the call. Avdeeva has grown a reputation as a grinding singles player whose matches tend to turn into marathons. Avdeeva has a 2-2 record in four three-set matches. Avdeeva, though, has been most impressive on the doubles court with new partner Edina Horvath. Avdeeva and Horvath, a Budapest, Hungary native, have led the lajwahks with an 8-2 record at No.1 doubles.
ELIZAVETA AVDEEVA Junior tennis player
"We are really confident together."
said riorvatn:
More than that,
the duo seems to
have developed
and unshakable
chemistry on the
court.
"Sometimes you can feel the partner," said Avdeeva referring to her ability to sense Horvath's move
ments on the court. "Where she's going to go, where she is going to hit the ball, how she's going to hit the ball."
Despite Avdeeva's 8-2 record in doubles, coach Hall-Holt gives her biggest praise to the things you don't see, Avdeeva's intangibles.
"It's her enthusiasm, her dedication," Hall-Holt said. "I know she has a very high talent level. It's just very exciting to see her step up on the court."
As Avdeeva continues to step up for the Kansas tennis team, one thing is certain. If you step out onto a tennis court with Avdeeva, prepare to be annoyed.

There will only be four No. 1's when the bracket is unveiled on March 11. But heading into this week, co-leaders Kansas and Texas A&M, ranked No. 3 and No. 7, respectively, could both put themselves in position to grab one.
Win both, and the Longhorns cannot be any worse than tipped for first. And as for the Big 12
"You could say that," said Kansas coach Bill Self, whose team had a Monday night game at Oklahoma. "But I think work still needs to be done."

BLOOD DRIVE
Controversy flows about donor discrimination
BY KATY BLAIR
Disclaimers will appear at the University's annual blood drive to quell suspicions of discrimination.
The KU Blood Drive Committee has received negative inquiries about the donating process on campus; specifically about the exclusion of gay and bisexual men.
The donator screening process excludes sexually active homosexual
or bisexual men because of their increased risk for contracting HIV from other men. Jonathan Pryor, Columbus senior and president of Queers and Allies, said this exclusion was based on faulty evidence.
"This is outdated information," Pryor said. "If the FDA is really following guidelines, they shouldn't allow African-American women to donate either. They are currently the highest risk factor for HIV."
The KU Blood Drive Committee held an open forum Tuesday evening to explain donating regulations. Pryor and others attended the forum to talk about the necessity of asking a person's sexual nature in order to donate blood.
information available, Pryor said he thought a person's sexual orientation should be left confidential.
Pror said questions on sexual orientation seemed discriminatory because donors provided extensive medical history and the blood was tested for diseases. With all of this
The Blood Drive Committee reached an agreement with Queers and Allies to provide a disclaimer stating the committee was a non-discriminatory group but was required to follow Food and Drug Administration guidelines.
The discrimination in donating blood has been an ongoing problem
for Queers and Allies. Priyor said the group approached Student Senate in 2003 to discontinue funding for the blood drive, but "the donation of blood was more important that discrimination of gay and bisexual people," he said.
This year marks the first positive discussion Queers and Allies conducted with the KU Blood Drive

Mass. Street Deli shuts down after 34 years of business. Owner Bob Schumm said that the competition the deli faced from other restaurants on Massachusetts Street was too much for the small deli to keep up with.
Longtime business shuts down after struggling to keep up with competitors
BY JOE HUNT
Mass. Street Deli closed for the last time on Sunday night. The 34-year old restaurant faced tough competition from a growing number of restaurants in the downtown area.
Owner Bob Schumm said that the restaurant, located at 941 Massachusetts St., simply didn't have enough business to make running it worth his while. When he got a generous offer for the real estate, he didn't turn it down.
"The fact that there's an extremely
large amount of restaurants downtown makes everyone do less and less business," Schumm said. "There's not new diners, the market just gets sliced up."
Lauren Foulkes was a manager at the restaurant until about a year ago. She wasn't surprised that the restaurant closed.
"Some days we only sold like $200 worth of food," Foulnes said. "We all kind of had a feeling it was going to happen."
Katie Young, a manager until the restaurant closed, said that the slowest times were in the winter. In the tan and summer, the nice weather attracted more customers to the patio.
Schumm said running two restaurants of different styles was difficult, and he had been wanting to dedicate his attention to Buffalo Bob's.
About 25 people worked at the restaurant — most of them students. Schumm said that many employees had other jobs they could go to, and others could be transferred to Buffalo Bob's Smokehouse, 719 Massachusetts St., another restaurant he owns.
But he had some good memories
at Mass. Street Deli. His favorite times were when Lawrence was flooded with fans during KU home football games and he would see lots of alumni in his restaurant. But Schumm knows that another restaurant will soon take Mass. Street Deli's place.

Teams qualify for national tourney
A
BY NATHAN GILL
The cluttered headquarters of KU Debate in Budig Hall's subbasement is no Allen Fieldhouse, but it is a place of champions. For the 40th consecutive year, the University of Kansas is sending teams to the National Debate Tournament.
KU Debate has two teams going to this year's tournament in Dallas, Brett Bricker, Wichita junior, and Andrew Jennings, Silver Lake junior, made the tournament based on their 68-21 record. Another pair, Lindsey Lathrop, Overland Park senior, and Nathan Johnson, Manhattan senior, won entry to the tournament last weekend by winning a qualifying tournament in Austin, Texas.
Bricker, who debated at last year's national tournament, said he and Jennings had a good shot at winning this year.
"We beat a lot of the top teams in the country pretty consistently." Bricker said, mentioning Harvard, Emory and Dartmouth. "We beat K-State a lot. They're not much of a competition."
Scott Harris, KU debate coach, said the University had done well at past tournaments, winning four national championships and making it to the Final Four 13 times. Harris said he thought his teams had the talent to make it to at least the Sweet 16 of the national tournament. Seventy-eight teams are competing in the tournament.

Proceeds benefit Haitian orphanage
BY TYLER HARBERT
Men anpil chay pa lou.
In Creole, the predominant language of Haiti, those words mean, "Many hands make the load lighter."
Members of the Latin American Solidarity and the Honors Program Student Council are trying to make the load lighter for a group of Haitian female orphans who have been denied access to the same housing given to their male neers.
Danielle Coffyn, Prairie Village junior and member of both the Latin American Solidarity and the Honors Program Student Council, was the
lead organizer for the Haitian Girl Project, a fundraiser held Tuesday at Ecumenical Christian Ministries. The fundraiser benefited the construction of an all-girls dormitory at Maison Fortune Orphanage in Hinche, Haiti.
The event was donation based and featured free Haitian cuisine, guest speakers and drawings for gift certificates to local restaurants.
Coffyn said that under Haitian law, boys and girls could attend school together at the orphanage, but after classes the girls left the school compound and stayed with neighbors, relatives or whoever would take them in.
"It they could stay at the orphanage, it would be a much better living situation," Coffyn said.
She said that 50 to 80 percent of the Haittian population was illiterate, so the type of free education the orphanage provided was greatly needed. She also said that the education and overall well-being of women in third world countries was often overlooked in place of educating only the male students.
"When we heard they wanted a girls' compound, we jumped to help because we thought it was an amazing opportunity," Coffyn said.

"The team needed someone to step up and organize everything," she said.
Julie Skolnik, Atlanta junior in microbiology, had never heard of rugby before she came to the University of Kansas, but her friend persuaded her to join the KU Women's Rugby Team her sophomore year. Skolnik loved the sport so much she became president.
BY HALI BAKER
Skolnik oversees the administrative duties for the team, and the captain, Tristan Neth, Wichita junior, handles the training. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday the team practices at the Shenk Complex at $23^{\mathrm{rd}}$ and Iowa streets.
Skolnik likes that rugby has been good for her health, she said. She goes to the Student Recreation and Fitness Center only once or twice a week because practices keep her in good shape.
"I lost 35 pounds without even
changing my diet," she said.
During practices, the 20 members, 10 of whom are new this spring, spend two hours training for the weekend games. The new players stick together and quickly learn to play rugby, which is similar to soccer except players pass the ball backwards.
“it's kind of a sorority but better because it's ruoby” Skolnik said.
One of her favorite parts about the sport is the camaraderie among her fellow teammates. Each new member pairs up with an old member to help the transition to the team.
Skolnik has fallen in love with rugby, and she plans to play until she graduates next May.

STUDENT SENATE

Failed referendums return Transportation bills reintroduced in committee last week
BY ASHLEE KIELER
Two failed referendums to increase student transportation fees still have the possibility of being passed.
The special election held on Feb. 14 and 15, which would have increased student fees $35 each semester, failed to get 10 percent of the student body vote for it to be considered a certified election.
According to the election commission's Web site more than five percent of the student body voted. The first referendum would have increased student fees $20. The money would have gone to KU on Wheels to buy environmentally friendly buses and the second referendum would have increased fees by $15 and would have eliminated KU bus passes.
In an attempt to have the transportation bill passed in full Senate, the bill was reintroduced to Senate
committees last Wednesday. A bill must pass two committees before it can be heard in full Senate.
University Affairs Committee received the bill, where it was passed.
The bill then went to the finance committee where it was ruled out of order.
"When a committee rules a bill out of order, they believe, in this specific case, that it could not be heard due to Senate rules and regulations," said Mike Wellems, student finance committee chair.
According to the regulations, because less than 10 percent of the student body failed to vote, the referendum was considered defeated. A defeated motion can't go back through Senate without revision. The possibility still exists for the bill to reach Student Senate.
The Student Senate Executive Committee, which meets before each full Student Senate meeting.
has the power to appeal the finance committee's decision on the transportation bill.
StudEx could pass it. Then it would have two committees approval and be heard in full Senate, said Adam Hurly, StudEx Secretary.
Andrew Payne, StudEx Chair,
said the executive committee would
review if the bill presented last week
was the same as the previous bill that
held the referendums.
If the bill is deemed different, there might be a possibility that it could be passed by the executive committee and seen tonight in full Senate or sent back to the committees for the next legislation cycle. Payne said.

Chrysler planning employee buyouts
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Chrysler Group will offer some of its 49,600 hourly U.S. workers at select plants up to $100,000 to leave the company as part of a recovery plan announced earlier this month.
the company, which lost $1,475 billion in 2006 and said it expected losses to continue through 2007, said on Feb. 14 that it intended to shed 13,000 jobs, including 11,000 hourly positions and 2,000 salaried, as it tried to further shrink itself to match reduced demand for its products.
A company document obtained by The Associated Press outlines an early retirement program for those near retirement age and a buyout
program for those with at least one year of seniority with the company
The offers were reported earlier Tuesday by The Detroit News.
Under the buyout offer, workers would receive a pretax lump sum payment of $100,000 plus six months of medical and vision coverage in exchange for their departure.
The early retirement package includes a $70,000 payment, health care benefits and whatever pension a worker was eligible for based on age and years of service.
According to the document, the United Auto Workers union and DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group reached agreement on the offers, which are not as lucrative as some made to workers leaving
Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. under restructuring plans.
"UAW members are once again stepping forward to make hard choices," union President Ron Gettelfinger said in a statement. "Now it's up to DaimlerChrysler to move the company forward, by using the skill and dedication of our members to deliver quality vehicles that customers want to buy."
The offers come as Chrysler tries to reduce production by 400,000 vehicles per year.
Early retirement offers will go to facilities targeted for cuts, including a plant scheduled for closure in Newark, Del.
Of the production job cuts, 9,000 are in the U.S.

Bricker said, "to prepare for a tournament, all you really do is research."
Harris said debaters prepared for competitions like lawyers prepared for trials.
He said he pored through debate material, mostly periodicals and court documents, for about 40 hours every week.
Lathrop, who also went to last year's national tournament, attributed KU Debate's success to creative coaching. She said Harris helped the teams craft novel arguments and had "magic research abilities" that set him apart from other coaches.
Harris said Kansas' strong high school debate programs helped funnel veteran debaters to the University. Having strong high
school debate programs in state helps because the University is unable to offer scholarships.
"Coaching has nothing to do with it," Harris said. "It's hard work and smart students."
Bricker said the national tournament, which will be held from March 30 to April 3, was similar to the NCAA basketball championships and used a bracket-based elimination system.
Other teams attending the national tournament include Harvard University, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Northwestern University and Kansas State University.

Officer guilty of rape
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla.
— An Air Force officer was found guilty Tuesday of raping four men and attempting to rape two others.
A nine-member military jury deliberated for about seven hours in Capt. Devery L. Taylor's court-martial. Taylor gave no reaction upon hearing the verdict.
Taylor, the former chief of patient administration at Eglin Regional Hospital, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. Sentencing was to begin Wednesday.
"I am pleased. I am emotional, but I am very, very pleased," said Maj. Kathleen Reder, a military prosecutor.
"These men can sit up a little straighter now; I am proud of them," she said of the six victims who testified.
Martin Regan, Taylor's civilian defense attorney, declined to comment before sentencing.
Military prosecutors described Taylor, 38, as a serial rapist who met men in bars, spiked their drinks with the "date-rape" drug gamma-hydroxybutyrate, or GHB, and kidnapped them.
Taylor was charged with two counts of attempted sodomy, four counts of forcible sodomy, two counts of kidnapping and one count of unlawful entry.
Taylor testified that he had consensual sex with five of the men and that the sixth, who is openly gay, raped him. Regan said the men lied to protect their military careers.
Four of the men were in the military when they met Taylor, and a fifth wanted to join the Navy and feared being identified as gay, Regan said.
>> CRIME
Regan said Taylor's only crime was being gay in the military and violating the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which bans people who are openly gay from serving in the armed forces.
Singer sentenced for killing bear

ASSOCIATED PRESS
He also must give up hunting in Minnesota for five years.
Duluth, Minn. — Troy Lee Gentry, of the country singing duo Montgomery Gentry, has been sentenced to three months of probation and a $15,000 fine for killing a captive black bear.
Gentry pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in November. Under a plea deal, he agreed to forfeit the bear and the bow he used during the hunt near Sandstone. The 600 pound bear has been part of
a taxidermy display at Gentry's home in Tennessee. He was sentenced Friday.
The bear was killed in October 2004 at the 80-acre Minnesota Wildlife Connection, Owner Lee Marvin Greenly sold the bear for $4,650 and orchestrated the hunt, which Gentry videotaped and edited to make it appear the bear had been killed in a fair chase hunt, according to authorities.
Montgomery Gentry, which includes co-singer Eddie Montgomery, are known for hits such as "My Town".

San Diego diocese to file for bankruptcy
SAN DIEGO — The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego said Tuesday that it planned to file for bankruptcy protection to put off going to trial in more than 140 lawsuits alleging sexual abuse by priests.
Attorney Micheal Webb said the diocese planned to file for bankruptcy protection by midnight, just hours before the first trial was scheduled to go forward Wednesday in a San Diego courtroom. A Chapter 11 filing automatically halted court proceedings.
In a letter posted on the diocese's Web site, Bishop Robert Brom said the diocese made its decision because any damages awarded early in a trial could deplete "diocesan and insurance resources," leaving nothing for other victims. He also noted the time the process could take.
San Diego would become the fifth U.S. diocese to file for bankruptcy protection. It also would become the largest, with nearly 1 million parishioners.
Brom said in his letter that the diocese would disclose the names of accused priests who officials are certain participated in abuse, and
"we will verify that no known abuser is functioning in ministry"
Diocese officials and plaintiffs attorneys failed to reach a settlement during two days of negotiations in Los Angeles Superior Court.
The diocese called plaintiffs attorneys Tuesday morning to make
a "final and best" settlement offer, Webb said. He declined to specify how much the church had offered but said it was higher than total settlements reached in other dioceses.
"When they rejected it, we were left with no choice." Webb said.
trials, the filing prevents diocese officials from being confronted in court with potentially embarrassing facts, missteps or documents related to past handling of abusive priests.
"The moment it became clear the truth will come out through a jury trial, they sought to shut down victims' ability to get compensated."
"For three years they've told people they want to settle, they want to be transparent, but the moment it
JOHN MANLY Attorney
"It's meaningless," attorney Andrea Leavitt said.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs said the total amount the church had offered was insufficient because San Diego has more plaintiffs than other jurisdictions.
They also accused the church of using bankruptcy as a way to keep potentially embarrassing information under wraps. By delaying civil
became clear the truth will come out through a jury trial, they sought to shut down victims' ability to get compensated and get out the truth," said John Manly, an attorney representing a victim scheduled for trial in
April. "It's wrong, and they're not going to get away with this."
A trial prompted by a woman's accusations that a priest forced her to have sex in his parish office 1972, when she was 17, was scheduled to begin Wednesday. Three other trials were scheduled to follow, involving multiple victims and allegations that the diocese protected abusive priests by moving them from parish to parish.
Plaintiffs with cases already released for trial may appeal for permission to let those trials move ahead.
Diocese officials announced this month in a letter distributed to parishioners that they were contemplating bankruptcy to put off going to trial. The diocese retained an Arizona bankruptcy attorney who guided the Tucson diocese through its filing, and Brom discussed the matter with diocese priests at a pre-Lent meeting Feb. 19 in San Diego.
In addition to Tucson and San Diego, the dioceses that have filed for bankruptcy were Portland, Ore., Spokane, Wash., and Davenport, Iowa. Tucson has emerged from bankruptcy, while proposed settlements in Spokane and Portland are awaiting final approval. Portland had been the largest diocese to file for bankruptcy, with nearly 400,000 Catholics, according to its Web site
The diocese, which covers San Diego and Imperial counties, has 98 churches and runs 50 schools.
The lowa diocese filed for bankruptcy just days before the civil trial of a retired bishop from a neighboring diocese was set to begin. Fifteen plaintiffs had come forward alleging abuse.

Terrorism scare closes Missouri-Rolla campus

ROULA, Mo. — Nearly two dozen people were quarantined Tuesday after a white, powdery substance was found on a student who claimed to have a bomb and threatened "terrorist-type" actions at the University of Missouri Rolla, officials said.

Twenty three people were being quarantined Tuesday morning until authorities could determine whether they needed to be decontaminated. A Missouri National Guard team from Fort Leonard Wood was gathering samples to determine if the substance was hazardous, said Lt. Col. David Boyle of the 7th Civil Support Team.
university's civil engineering building the student was holding a knife and that he held up a bag and said: "This is a bomb"
Officials indicated that the substance probably was not anthrax, noting
that no one who was exposed to the substance has had any symptoms.
"If it was anthrax they would have been displaying some symptoms," said Ray Massey, ambulance director at Phelps County Regional Medical Center.
Police used a stun gun to subdue the student and found a four-page note in which he threatened to destroy the building, Kearse said.
The mains identity and nationality were not released, though school
spokesman Lance Feyh said he was an international student. The man was decontaminated and taken to a hospital before being taken to a holding facility at the Rolla Police Department, Kearse said.
Mayor William Jenks and Kearse said the student had been distraught over his grades, which may have led to the incident. Jenks said the student "had problems and was depressed."
The Fort Leonard Wood Explosive Operations Division was investigating the possibility that a bomb may be in the building.
"We have no hard evidence that there's anything wrong in the building but we simply can't take a chance," lenks said. "We're taking a "cautious approach."
A nearby Catholic school also canceled classes.
Those exposed to the powder included a faculty member in whose lab the graduate student was found and eight students working nearby, said campus spokeswoman Mary Helen Stoltz. The remaining people exposed to the powder included emergency personnel who responded to the scene, she said.
Stoltz reiterated Kearse's belief that the student was "using the threat of terror to get attention."
"We believe the situation is completely under control," she said, "For now everybody's safe."

WALL STREET
BY MADLEN READ ASSOCIATED PRESS
Market plunges amid fears of cooling global economies
A 9 percent slide in Chinese stocks, which came a day after investors sent Shanghai's benchmark index to a record high close, set the tone for U.S. trading. The Dow began the day falling sharply, and the decline accelerated throughout the course of the session before stocks took a huge plunge in late afternoon as computer driven sell programs kicked in.
NEW YORK - Stocks plummeted Tuesday, briefly hurtling the Dow Jones industrials down more than 500 points as Wall Street succumbed to a global market plunge sparked by growing concerns that the U.S. and Chinese economies are cooling and that equities prices have become overinflated.
The Shanghai Composite Index tumbled 8.8 percent to close at 2,771.79, its biggest decline since it fell 8.9 percent on Feb. 18, 1997 Since Chinese share prices doubled last year as investors poured money into the market after the completion of shareholding reforms, trading in Shanghai has been very volatile.
The Dow fell 546.02, or 4.3 percent, to 12,086.06 before recovering some ground in the last hour of trading. Because the worst of the plunge took place after 2:30 p.m., the New York Stock Exchange's circuit breakers, designed to halt precipitous moves, were not activated.
Investors' dwindling confidence was knocked down further by data showing that the economy may be decelerating more than anticipated. A Commerce Department report that orders for durable goods in January dropped by the largest amount in three months exacerbated jitters about the direction of the U.S. economy, just a day after former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the U.S. may be headed for a recession.
Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index dropped 1.8 percent, and Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur Composite Index fell 2.8 percent. Japan's Nikkei stock average fell a more moderate 0.52 percent, but European markets were rattled
"It looks more and more like the economy is a slow growth economy," said Michael Strauss, chief economist at Commonfund. "Moderate economic growth is good — an abrupt stop in economic growth scares people."
- Britain's FTSE 100 lost 2.31 percent, Germany's DAX index dropped 2.96 percent, and France's CAC 40 fell 3.02 percent.
The market had been expecting the government on Wednesday to
Bond prices shot higher as investors bought into the safe haven Treasury market, pushing the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note down to 4.47 percent, its lowest level so far this year, from 4.63 percent late Monday. The bond buying was sparked primarily by the durable goods orders, which the Commerce Department said fell 7.8 percent, much more than what the market expected.
revise its estimate of fourth quarter GDP growth down to an annual rate of about 2.3 percent from an initial forecast of 3.5 percent, and grew increasingly nervous on Tuesday that the figure could come in even lower.
The durable goods drop raised the chance of the Federal Reserve easing interest rates later in the year—a possibility that makes the bond market an attractive place to be right now.
The housing market, which the Street had been hoping had bottomed out, also looked far from recovery after a Standard & Poor's index indicated that single-family home prices across the nation were flat in December. A later report from the National Association of Realtors said existing home sales climbed in January by the largest amount in two years, but the data didn't erase housing-related concerns, as median home prices fell for a sixth straight month.
The Dow was down 360.42, or 2.85 percent, at 12,271.84 in the last hour of trading. Just a week ago, the Dow had reached new closing and trading highs, rising as high as 12,795.92.
The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index was down 42.11, and 2.91 percent, at 1,407.26, and the Nasdaq composite index was off 81.34, or 2.35 percent, at 2,423.18.
A suicide bomber attack on the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan where Vice President Dick Cheney was visiting also rattled the market.
China's stock market plummeted Tuesday from record highs as investors took profits when concerns arose that the Chinese government may try to temper its ballooning economy by raising interest rates again or reducing more of the money available for lending.
"Corrections usually happen because of a catalyst, and this may be it," said Ed Peters, chief investment officer at PanAgora Asset Management. "The move in China was a surprise, and when a major market has a shock it ripples through the rest of the market.
With all the trade that goes on with China, there tends to be a knee-jerk reaction with that kind of drop."
The hope for slowing inflation could be dashed, though, if energy costs keep rising. Oil prices initially fell Tuesday on worries that Chinese demand could be dampened should its economy slow down, but later rose on escalating tensions in the Middle East. Light, sweet crude for April delivery fell 62 cents a barrel to $60.77 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

>> NASA
Hail damage could postpone Atlantis launch
BY MIKE SCHNEIDER ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A hail storm left hundreds of divots on space shuttle Atlantis' external fuel tank, and NASA managers weren't sure Tuesday if the damage was severe enough to postpone next month's launch.
The storm Monday evening passed over the launch pad where Atlantis was being prepared for a March 15 launch. The hail also hit protective tiles on the shuttle's wing.
"Right row, the big deal is how many divots? How deep are they? Can they be repaired at the pad? Can they not be repaired at the pad?" NASA spokesman Bill Johnson said.
NASA officials were weighing their options. They could make repairs to the external tank on the launch pad using an enormous crane, or they could move the space shuttle back into its Vehicle Assembly Building to fix the divots. NASA also has another external fuel tank at Kennedy Space Center that is being readied for a mission in June.
The damage is concentrated in the upper third of the enormous external tank, a section that holds liquid oxygen propellant.
The need to repair the damage raised the likelihood that the launch would be delayed because NASA only has four extra days in its launch preparation schedule to spare. The launch window ends March 25.
Damage to space shuttle Atlantis' external fuel tank could be seen Tuesday at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canelavar, Fla. A hail storm left hundreds of divots on the shuttle's external fuel tank and managers weren't sure if the damage was severe enough to postpone next month's launch.

U.S. disputes TV report of deadly blast
BY BRIAN MURPHY ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHADAD. Iraq — Police and Iraqi state television said a car bomb exploded Tuesday near a park popular with young soccer players, killing at least 18 boys in Ramadi, a city west of Baghdad.
However, the U.S. military said 30 civilians and one Iraqi soldier were injured in a "controlled detonation" of explosives southeast of Ramadi but there were no deaths. The military routinely blows up captured weapons and ammunition.
It was unclear whether there were two blasts or confusion over the casualties from a single explosion.
Both local police and state television said the bomb rigged car blew apart Tuesday afternoon while the boys, aged 10-15, were playing in Ramadi, an insurgent stronghold about 70 miles west of Baghdad.
The Interior Ministry did not immediately return calls for details.
In Baghdad on Tuesday, at least 10 people were killed in bombings amid a security operation launched this month targeting militant factions and sectarian death squads that
have ruled the capital's streets.
As part of the sweeps, U.S. and Iraqi forces staged raids in Baghdad's main Shite militant stronghold, making politically sensitive forays into areas loyal to radical cleric Mugtada al Sadr.
Al-Sadri withdrew his Mahdi Army militia from checkpoints and bases under intense government pressure to let the neighborly neighbor security sweeps move ahead. But Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki and others have opposed extensive U.S.-led patrols through Sadr City, fearing a violent backlash could derail the security effort.
The pre-dawn raids appeared to highlight a strategy of pinpoint strikes in Sadr City rather than the flood of soldiers sent into some Sunni districts.
At least 16 people were arrested after U.S.-iraqi commandos stormed six homes, police said.
The U.S. military statement said the raids targeted "the leadership of several rogue" Mahdi Army cells that "direct and perpetrate sectarian murder" — an apparent reference to Shite gangs accused of carrying out execution-style slayings and torture
on Sunni rivals.
"My sons and wife were very terrified," complained Muhand Milibas, 30, who said his brother and six cousins were taken in the sweeps. "Does the security plan mean arresting innocent people and scaring civilians at night?"
At a news conference, the Pentagon's No. 2 commander in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, declined to comment on whether there were special tactics for Sadr City.
"We will go after anyone who we feel is working against the government of Iraq," he said.
U. S. military spokesman Mai Gen, William Caldwell told Al-Arabiya television that forces "will increase our operations in the coming days" but noted that the security crackdown in the capital should continue until at least October.
Added Otherno: "We will keep at this until the people feel safe in their neighborhoods"
A roadside bomb southwest of the capital killed three U.S. soldiers assigned to a unit based in Baghdad, the military said. A fourth soldier was killed near Diwaniyah, a mostly Shiite town south of Baghdad.
An Iraq boy lies in a bed in a hospital tuesday in Baghdad, Iraq, after he was injured in a car bomb attack. Bombings continued to hit across central Baghdad tuesday, with three bomb explosions killing at least 10 people.

Assassination attempt on Cheney fails
>> TALIBAN
BY ALISA TANG ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGRAM, Afghanistan—In what the Taliban claimed was an assassination attempt, a suicide bomber attacked the main gate of a U.S. military base Tuesday within earshot of Vice President Dick Cheney. The explosion killed 23 people, including two Americans, and delivered a propaganda blow that undercut the U.S. military and the weak Afghan government it supports.
The bomber struck about 10 a.m. and U.S. military officials declared a "red alert" at the sprawling Bagram Air Base while Cheney was rushed to a bomb shelter. Cheney, who had been stranded at the base overnight by a snowstorm, met with President Hamid Karzai in the capital before heading back to the United States via the Gulf state of Oman.
"I heard a loud boom." Cheney told reporters aboard Air Force Two en route to Oman "The Secret Service came in and told me there
had been an attack on the main gate"
Many of the victims were said to be Afghan truck drivers waiting to get inside the base. A dozen men — many of them sobbing heavily
— left the base holding a stretcher bearing their loved ones wrapped in black body bags. Tears streamed down the face of one man sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV that carried another victim away.
Although the bomber did not get closer than roubly a mile to the vice
president, the attack highlighted an increasingly precarious security situation posed by the resurgent Taliban. Five years after U.S.-led forces toppled their regime, Taliban led militants have stepped up attacks. There were 139 suicide bombings last year, a fivefold increase since 2005, and a fresh wave of violence is expected this spring.
Striking at Bagram with a suicide bomber, I suppose, is one way to do that. But it shouldn't affect our behavior at all"
Cheney was the highest-ranking U.S. official to stay overnight in either the Afghanistan or Iraq war zones.
President Bush was not awakened to be told about the attack, but received an update early Tuesday morning. White House press secretary Tony Snow said Bush's first reaction was to ask if Cheney was OK.
A message posted on a Web site used by militants said "a muhadil (holy warrior) ... carried out a suicide attack in front of the second gate of the Bagram Air Base. ... The target was Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney."
reach Cheney."
But it appeared unlikely the bomber would have been able to reach Cheney, who was in a "very, sate and secure place" roughly a mile from the blast site, said U.S. spokesman Lt. Col. David Accetta.
The bomber, Acceita said, never tried to get by any U.S.-manned security checkpoints and instead walked into a group of Alghans outside the base and detonated himself.
"LINGERIE PARTY?

SURELY YOU'RE KIDDING!"

So now it's time, come check out living at Legends Place. We're a great value. Convenient. And fun.
And your folks will give it the old two thumbs up.
A purported Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said Cheney was the target of the attack carried out by an Afghan named Mullah Abdul Rahim.
"To characterize this as a direct attempt on the life of the vice president is absurd." Accetta said.
"We knew that Dick Cheney would be staying inside the base." Ahmadi told The Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location. "The attacker was trying to
The guerrillas, according to NATO officials, have the flexibility to organize an attack quickly and may have been able to plan a bombing at the base while Cheney was there after hearing news reports on Monday that he was delayed by bad weather. The Taliban have attacked in the area north of the capital in the past even though people living in the Bagram area have not been supportive of the guerrillas. Col. Tom Collins, the top spokesman for the NATO force, said the Taliban had a cell in Kabul that could have traveled the 30 miles north to Bagam.
Cheney's trip to Afghanistan — on the heels of a four-hour visit Monday to Pakistan — had not been announced in advance. Snow said he did not know whether publicity about Cheney's overnight stay at the base helped invite the attack — after the planned meeting Monday with Karzai was postponed.
PRICES STARTING AT $480 INCLUDING UTILITIES!!!
- Washer/Dryer in Every Unit
Even through reaching the front gate of the U.S. base could have been achieved with relative ease, the idea of getting through U.S. security to attack Cheney was "far fetched," in the words of U.S. spokesman Ma(J), William Mitchell.

NCLB renewal needs revision
The Bush administration's much-heralded education reform bill, the No Child Left Behind Act, is due for evaluation and potential renewal in the upcoming federal budget. The ensuing policy discussion, arriving with decidedly less fanfare than the law's passage five years ago, will generate a chorus of cheers and jeers on both sides of the aisle as lawmakers seek an amenable bridge between opponents and proponents. Though areas of testing have improved in the past five years, the time to rethink our national education policy is long overdue.
It always seemed a bit peculiar that the party of limited government was so eager to impose federal testing standards on local districts, especially because that same party advocated the abolition of the Department of Education a mere decade ago. It is understandably difficult to force homogenized education policy on wildly different school districts around the country, and any revised policy should put control squarely back into state and regional hands.
To be sure, NCLB has noble goals and aims: to improve students' learning by increasing standards and allowing them to exit schools that don't meet improvement requirements. However, NCLB has three serious flaws. First, it punishes entire schools for the lagging performance of just one group within that school, then gives successful students little recourse for transfer. Second,

it encourages teachers to focus on national tests at the expense of other material, creating a disturbingly intense spotlight on test performance. Third, it remains a grossly underfunded mandate; President Bush requested little more than half the required budget for 2006, an unfortunate trend that predates his administration.

The purpose of a roundabout is pretty much defeated when you stop right in front of me to drop off your baby-mama.
Education policy remains an area that functions best when power is removed from highhanded national politicians and returned to local officials who know the districts and communities best. School districts vary by size, demographics, and tax base, among other factors, and uniform policy standards rarely take these differences into account. Any revised form of NCLB should focus on the importance of localities, and should refrain from identical national standards that force improvements but impede assistance.
The overarching problem of NCLB is that, like many federal programs, it imposes strict standards and harsh penalties, but provides scant resources for institutions that lag behind. This creates a paradox that would be comical if not for its adverse consequences on young students; a school has to meet standards to receive funding, but failure to meet standards costs the school the very funding it needs to improve.

COMMENTARY
Leave political satire to experts
American comedy has hit a new low. As if Carlos Mencia and the "Family Guy" weren't bad enough, there is now another awful comedy show; the "1/2 Hour News Hour". The show debated on the Fox News Channel two Sundays ago and, according to creator Joel Surnow, is supposed to be ""The Daily Show' for conservatives." Nevermind that "The Daily Show" isn't exactly liberal.
So why is the show so bad?
The first episode had a creepy, Twilight Zone style, introduction in which Limbaugh was president and Ann Coulter vice-president. If that wasn't bad enough, Coulter makes a joke saying that if you don't watch the show "we'll invade your countries, kill your leaders, and convert you to Christianity." The statement
Besides being facsimiles, the jokes aren't funny; they're personal attacks mixed with slapstick humor that involves either fart or prison rape jokes.

could be funny because of its absurdity, if only Coulter didn't actually believe it. It also doesn't make sense, if the show's objective is to be the conservative "Daily Show," why would they start by making fun of a conservative's idea?
The show is dull because it doesn't offer any clips of liberals acting absurdly, and there are several of those. Some of the best laughs in "The Daily Show" are from cleverly edited clips of politicians.
Speaking of laughs, it's painful to listen to the laughs in the "1/2 Hour News Hour." Either they hired people to stimulate the audience or have a laugh track. It's so artificial and obnoxious that it seems to bother the anchors.
The "The Daily Show" is successful because it rarely resorts to slapstick humor and is adept at satirizing politics. "The Daily Show"
doesn't personally attack conservatives; it criticizes the current political scenario. Successful political satire depends on smart commentary fueled by apt observation. Political satire is counter establishment by definition. It should resemble a smart-alcee teen talking back to inane parents.
So why is a comedy show playing on a news network? The Fox Broadcasting Program rejected the "1/2 News Hour", so it was relegated to Fox News. This shows how high Fox News' standards are, and how committed they are to serious journalism. It also further exposes their clear partisanship. And partisanship, as long as it's acknowledged, isn't necessarily a bad thing.
It is fitting, however, that Fox News now airs this show. The organization always resembled a comedy channel, whether it is Neil Cavato interviewing women wearing nothing but lingerie in his business show, or Bill O'Reilly ranting about the latest casualty in the "War on Christmas", there's always something to laugh at when watching Fox News. But the "1/2 Hour News Hour" isn't nearly as humorous as the channel's normal programming, and Fox News should leave political satire to the people who know how to do it: John Stewart and company.

Going into a bookstore without a specific book in mind is a terrible thing. That's how "Chaucer After the Canterbury Tales" or "The Selected Letters of Emily Dickinson" makes it into your cart. I considered buying these two titles as I sat on a step in the poetry section awhile ago.
After a certain point, the titles all start to run together. I'm reminded that I already own most of the books I am browsing to. If I don't watch it, I'll be down $30 dollars and seven inches of bookshelf space for nothing.
I needed to get as far away from this bookstore as possible to avoid any unnecessary purchases. I pulled out my phone. I'd make a quick call and find someone I could hang out with. I barely made it through the As before I came to Angela.
Angela is a friend from high school who is currently attending college on the west coast. Unfortunately, last semester she felt lonely, disconfirmed and surrounded by students who were more concerned with their resume than their education.
I had only talked to her a few times since she left, and I wasn't helpful when she wanted to know what I thought about coming home from Pomona and pursuing college back in Kansas.
In high school, I had a book-filled relationship with Angela. We exchanged copies of "The Corrections" and "A Confederacy of Dunces." We both like "Jane Eyre," a rarity among high school teens. We went to see Chuck Palahniuk talk about his latest work "Haunted."
Now that she wasn't asking for a title recommendation, I couldn't come up with any advice for her college troubles. Our relationship, based in books, had a theoretical kind of depth that died when we left the world of metaphors.
I didn't know how to speak to Angela, but I was still in the bookstore while she was still looking for answers.
It was there in the fiction section that I decided on a weathered copy of "Don Quixote." I picked up another copy for myself. I thought back on the last couple of months. Maybe I've spent too much time in the drama section lately. A little epic would go a long way for me.
More than anything, I figured that somewhere in those 1,000 plus pages by an author who, according to the great Vladimir Nabakov, "stands for everything that is gentle, forlorn, pure, unselfish and galant" was the answer to what Angela should do.
I checked out and headed home.
It was 10 p.m., and the streets
were covered with ice. I had only
a few hours before Angela left for
California.

Lawrence studios step out to expose students to international dance techniques and moves
BY ALISON CUMBOW
Dance studios across Lawrence are working to bring an international flare to their curriculum.
Candi Baker, dance program director at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St., tries each semester to engage her students in dance as an art and to help her instructors do the same.
"I have been directing here for 20 years and I would like to expose people to other ways of dancing, to train dancers not just technically, but as artists as well." Baker said.
To keep up with her goals, Baker is constantly looking to bring new classes and fresh moves.
"Last summer, we had an African dance class, and we are hoping to have it again this summer for both kids and adults," she said. "Finding space and time for everything is sometimes the challenge, but I always try to make sure we have something going on for everyone."
Latin dancing is also a popular choice and almost all of these classes are taught by people with multicultural backgrounds.
"We offer Mexican folkloric classes for the youth and Latin ballroom classes for adults," Baker said.
Some KU students take classes at the Lawrence Arts Center, but most use their stages to practice and use the performance space.
"Most of the students that take classes here who go to KU enjoy the nice and very welcoming atmosphere." Baert said, adding that an estimated 100 to 200 KU students take classes at the center.
Lawrence Arts Center is a nonprofit organization that allows people the opportunity to express their creativity through theater, music and even yoga.
Wade Quandi, owner of Camelot Ballroom II, 1117 Massachusetts St., expressed a similar appreciation for the various international influences brought to his studio.
"Our instructors bring their experience in dance from other countries, especially when teaching international folk dancing and the Argentine tango," he said.
Quandil noted that one of his instructors spent a lot of time in Argentina studying dances, especially the tango. Camelot II specializes in the Argentine tango and offers the class every
Monday night
"Many of our students are also from different countries, like England, Poland and even Russia," he said.
The image is too blurry to read. It shows two individuals in a close, intimate pose, possibly dancing or performing a dance routine. Their faces are pressed together, suggesting a moment of connection and shared emotion. The background appears neutral, enhancing the focus on their interaction.
Adding that many of his students are KU students, Quandil mentioned some unique opportunities that are offered at his studio. There is an group session Thursdays for anyone who wants to come; the instructors don't pay attention to attendance, he said, so it doesn't matter who shows up and who doesn't.
"We also offer a public dance party one Saturday night a month with live music and it always attracts a large number of people," he said.
"About 90 percent of what we focus on is ballroom dancing and even still we see so much international influence," Quandil said.
Camelot II also offers couples-only ballroom dancing, specializing in the waltz, swing and fox-trot. Quandil teaches ballroom tango, which is a type of American tango dancing.
"Right now, I'm rehearsing to do a Latin piece for a senior's final performance," she said. "It's more on the reggae ton side, and it definitely has a Mexican aspect to it."
Aside from the various dance studios in Lawrence, many KU students practice the art form on campus. The Robinson Center is the most popular spot for the dance majors at the University of Kansas.
Libby also mentioned her personal goals and reasons for keeping up with dancing.
Edited by Stacey Couch
Nina Libby, Santa Fe, N.M., sophomore and a dance major, stressed the importance of bringing more worldly steps to her stride.
"I would like to take more classes in different types of dancing," she said. "I like the physical activity and dancing is a passion for me. I enjoy it. It's something I want to do, not something I have to do."
Dance is way for people to understand and practice other cultures. Throughout Lawrence, people are learning how to do the jig a little internationally, and how to put a little "oo-la-la" in their steps.

Big inning,big problems
Oral Roberts' first inning sends Kansas to fourth-straight loss
BY ALISSA BAUER
TULSA, Okla. — The beautiful weather held no precursors to the day the Jayhawks would have on Tuesday afternoon.
The almost 70-degree weather provided a perfect setting for the Kansas (7-5) and Oral Roberts (4-5) baseball match-up, yet the perception of a great day was dashed as the Jayhawks fell to the Golden Eagles, 9-1.
Once again Kansas was plagued by a big inning, no matter how unconventional it may have been.
Oral Roberts outfielder Brendan Duffy bunted for a hit to lead off the bottom of the first. Second baseman Jake Kaulehoil followed with the same but dove into the bag to beat Kansas' starting freshman pitcher Wally Marcelic's throw.

Although Kahaulelio was originally called safe, the play was
A 1-0 lead hardly counts as a big inning, and Kansas would've escaped nearly unscathed if not for another umpire controversy. With a pair of runners on and two outs, Golden Eagle third baseman Carter McQuigg hit a Marcel delivery over
the left field wall.
Over the left field wall — fair. Or so it was called.
"I thought it was foul," junior shortstop Erik Morrison said. "I'm not going to knock the umpire for his call or anything like that, but from where I saw it looked fouled. But I mean, that's three runs — we put up one."

Looking back at Kansas' 67-65 victory against Oklahoma, coach Bill Self was able to see it as part of a bigger picture.
"It's the best scenario," he said. "I just wish wed played better."

He's referring to the NCAA tournament, where the layhawks won't be able to blow opponents out as they have in recent weeks. With the opening rounds approaching, everything is now viewed through the filter of March Madness.
"There weren't a lot of opportunities for him tonight," Self said. "He's been pretty good lately. He was probably due."
It was also a step backward for freshmen Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins.Arthur, a forward, played only six minutes after getting into foul trouble early and being substituted out for veteran players late.Collins, a guard, may have been overdue for one of these nights after a superhuman month of February.
The lajhawks vaulted to No. 3 in the country Monday, but Self won't allow himself to speculate about NCAA tournament seedings beyond Saturday's game with Texas for the Big 12 title.
The Jayhawks pulled out the victory after playing a half of largely uninspired basketball. The team didn't attempt a three-point shot in the second half of the game and only survived by getting to the free-throw line for 34 attempts.
"This will kind of ground us a little bit, and let us get refocused," Self said.

"We've only thought about winning the league," he said. "Us winning the league will have a lot to do with the brackets when they come out."
From there, it's on the team to deliver victories in the big games, which is where Monday's nail biter comes in. A close victory against a mid-tier team may help bring the Jayhawks back to earth.

Mosley's status unclear after hit
BY ASHER FUSCO
Senior guard Shaquina Mosley could miss Thursday's regular season finale at Missouri because of the lingering effects of a head injury she suffered during Saturday's loss at Colorado.
Mosley was elbowed in the face twice by Colorado forward Aija Putnina. The first elbow didn't appear to hurt Mosley. The second elbow, retaliation for a foul, knocked Mosley to the court.
After a brief discussion, the officials called a second technical foul on Putnina, which resulted in an ejection.
The crowd's boos turned to cheers when a confident Putnina exited the court with both arms raised. Putnina was suspended Monday for one game by the Big 12 Conference for her hit on Mosley.
The Kansas training staff initially feared that Mosley had suffered a fractured cheekbone. Doctors at a local hospital alleviated those fears when they cleared Mosley several hours later, diagnosing her with a concussion. Though the guard was originally scheduled to return to Lawrence on Sunday, the optimistic diagnosis allowed her to return with her teammates Saturday night.
Mosley is still suffering from headaches and did not participate in full-speed practice on Monday or Tuesday.
"Shaq is feeling bad," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She's still feeling it, but at this point, she is day-to-day."
Note
Jess Fuller, a 6-foot-3 sophomore at Monroe Community College in Rochester, N.Y., will make her official visit to Kansas this weekend. The New York City native was part of Monroe's national championship team last season.
She would provide an imposing presence in the post, something Kansas has lacked for much of this season.

Blue Devils keep getting attention despite average record, ranking
Former Virginia coach Petey Gallen once said, "Duke is Duke. They're on TV more than 'Leave it to Beaver' returns."

The constant media atteni-

rupted as ESPN just called to say
that Dukes 2008 exhibition opener
against Alamar Tech will be shown
live on ESPN HD. As Gillen said,
nobody receives more love from
the networks than the Blue Devils.
From Dick Vitale to Mike Patrick to
Seth Davis, college basketball pund-
tits talk about Duke every chance they get. Did CBS really need to nationally broadcast Sunday's game against St. Johns who had a 15-14
record? Sure, the Blue Devils can
good ratings, but only because people
tune in to cheer against them.
This leads to ...
— Duke turning into the Notre Dame of college basketball. It will only be a matter of time before we a see a slide similar to the Irish losing nine straight bowl games. Last week, at 20:7, Duke jumped to No.18 in the Associated Press poll after being unranked the previous week. How is there not an investigation into this? And yes. Duke is currently ranked No.14 in the country despite being tied for fifth in the Atlantic Coast Conference with an 8-6 record. Part of this is because Duke refuses to play any road games in the non-conference schedule. The sad thing is that the Blue Devils will consistently make the Sweet 16 because they are always over-seeded and rewarded
by never leaving North Carolina in the NCAA tournament.
The Cameron Crazies. Do we really need to hear about how great the Crazies are multiple times during a Kansas broadcast, Mr. Vitale? The whole Duke basketball atmosphere seems phony, from the cheer sheets to the cracker box arena, yet we are constantly reminded that it's the best.
- Their players are a bunch of sissies. From the days of Steve Woiciechowski slapping the floor and crying after a loss, to J.J. Redick crying after a loss, to Josh McRoberts crying during a loss and being comforted on the bench by the aforementioned Wojo, Duke players are pansies.
— Coach Krayzewski. The man who — with the face of a rat — spends every waking second ragging on referees. As a result, officials are afraid he may bite them and Duke gets more calls than any other team. This was confirmed earlier this season by the clock fusco against Clemson where a Tiger stole the ball and hit a three-pointer in only 3 seconds, leaving just enough time for David McClure to hit a buzzer beating layup. One cannot blame the man though, as Coach K's life is not about winning games. That's why his card is American Express.

to play games on Saturday and Monday in each of the past two weeks. That mirrors the NCAA tournament schedule, where teams sometimes play with less than 48 hours of rest.
"The tournament is a pretty trying and tiring time, depending on when your game is," Self said. "You could get a 10 p.m. game. Then you shoot around the next day at 2 p.m., and you've been up all night trying to get ready"
Kansas can thank the TV networks for that practice. ESPN scheduled the Jayhawks for Big Monday the past two weeks, and CBS has picked up this Saturday's game for telecast. That popularity also means the Jayhawks will face some of their toughest competition in the final days of the season.
The biggest storylines are out of the Jayhawks control, though. If Texas A&M loses against Texas tonight, it could allow the Jayhawks to win the Big 12 title outright. If the Aggies defeat the Longhorns, it raises questions about whether the Jayhawks can be seeded higher even though they lost to the Aggies earlier in the season.
For now, Kansas continues to work and focus on doing its part by winning Saturday.
"That's been a goal of ours since day one," Self said. "So I can't see them forgetting about that and moving on to something else."

Danielle McCray is the kind of shooter who seems to be able to make a shot from anywhere on the court. But in her first few games as a Jayhawk, the freshman quickly found a place she couldn't score from: the end of the bench.
Despite her shooting ability and offensive versatility, McCray found herself fighting to stay in the lineup and out of coach Bonnie Henrickson's dohouse.
M c ra y ' s problem was one that went beyond the basketball court. It was that she simply couldn't keep up with the pace of Division I basketball due to poor conditioning
tioning had little to do with laziness or a poor attitude. She suffered debilitating injuries to both legs. She underwent surgery on both shins the summer before her freshman season, setting her training back for one month.
"A lot of it was between her ears."
"I knew how good a player I could be if I could stay in shape. I felt that my physical condition was holding me back."
"I knew how good a player I could be if I could stay in shape," said McCray. "I felt that my physical condition was holding me back."
Once she recovered from her injuries, McCray had trouble convincing herself she was able to play basketball against such strong competition.
DANIELLE MCCRAY Freshman forward
The Olathe native impressed fans with her polished moves, but she labored running up and down the court for more than a few consecutive minutes. Her fatigue resulted in quick exits from several early-season games. The 5-foot-11 forward played seven minutes at Creighton, nine at Indiana and only four against Northern Illinois.
The low point of McCray's freshman season came when Henrickson chose to sit her for the entirety of the Jan. 6 loss to Baylor.
McCray's problems with condi
Henrickson said. "She was questioning whether or not she was capable of the conditioning required at this level."
Henrickson kept pushing McCray every day in practice, convinced the freshman possessed the toughness to fight through the sprints and drills. Henrickson was correct — McCray already had the inner strength, and would soon develop the physical endurance to compete in the Big 12 Conference.
That extra endurance came from special post-practice workouts and a healthier diet. Half-hour sessions on the stationary bike or elliptical machine started paying off when the pounds started falling off.
"I knew getting my weight down a few pounds was important," McCray said. "It would let me be quicker and better overall."
broken the 20 point mark in two of her last three games, and most importantly, has shown the ability to play full-throat for long periods of the game. McCray played 32 minutes at Colorado last Saturday and totaled 47 minutes in a double overtime victory against Kansas State on Feb. 18.
The change in body composition is noticeable. She retained the strength that allowed her to control the paint while she shed the extra weight that slowed down her perimeter defense. The newer, more streamlined version of McCray is almost always the most physically impressive player on the court, complete with bulging biceps and calves that were not quite as visible in November.
"I feel like I did before my injury," McCray said. "I'm so much quicker and stronger than I had been. It makes the game easier."
McCray has made an outstanding amount of progress since arriving on campus, but there is always work to be done, Henrickson said.
"We still want to change her body a little this spring and summer," Henrickson said. "To get her a little leaner with some more explosiveness."
McCray knows this can only mean one thing: a little more time on the elliptical. If her past determination provides any indication, she will be more than willing to step up to the task.

He kept close contact with Self,
even though he knew he had probably never see significant playing time.
And if he wanted that, he could have gone somewhere else.
Kleinmann had plenty of schools vying for his services. Yale, North Carolina-Wilmington, William and Mary, South Florida and Valparaiso all expressed interest.
"There were probably some other schools that I might have wanted to go to or had a better deal to, but nothing ever clicked," Klemann said. "I wanted to be at Kansas."
The crown jewel, though, was Pacific. The Tigers, fresh off a second-round NCAA tournament loss to the Jayhawks, offered Kleinmann a scholarship. Kleinmann made an official visit to the Tigers' northern California campus, but Kansas beat Pacific again as he chose to be a Jayhawk.
Talking about practice
Outspoken NBA star Allen Iverson certainly wouldn't embrace the role that Kleinmann cherishes.
Why? Because being a walk-on is all about practice. Not about the game. Practice.
Essentially, that's all Kleinmann's
job is. Sure, sometimes he gets a couple minutes of playing time at the end of blowouts, but he's at Kansas to be a practice player.
Every day he goes up against players who are more talented than he is and tries to somehow make them better. Whether that is setting
hard screens, being physical or running until he can't breathe, Kleinmann tries to do it.
"He's a big body, so he gives it hard to Shady, Sasha and all of them," junior guard and fellow red-team mem-
analyst Billy Packer called the best walk-on in the history of college basketball.
"I learned a lot about my role, but I also learned how to treat people," Kleimmann said of what he learned from Moody. "I think that was the big part of him showing me how
"He's a good replica of the other players they're going to play against. He's a lot of help to us."
ber Jeremy Case said. "He's a good replica of the other players they're going to play against. He's a lot of help to us."
Frustration could easily creep into the mind of a walk-on. Think about it. Banging bodies with Sasha Kaun for more than two hours every day for, at the most, two minutes of game time? Not too many people would volunteer to do that.
JEREMY CASE Junior guard
But Kleinmann always keeps a positive outlook. It helped that he had former walk-on Christian Moody to emulate. Kleinmann arrived on campus watching Moody, whom CBS
to lead by example."
Kleinmann still gets discouraged sometimes, but he always finds ways to stay motivated. He thinks of practices as his games. Because he never has the chance to get
tired during games, he makes sure he works himself to exhaustion during practice. His goal, along with the other reserves who make up the red team in practice, is to make everyone else better.
"It it seems like when we have a really good game it's because the red team pushed them harder in the practice before," Kleimmann said. "So if you ever hear the blue team had a tough practice maybe that's because the red team had a really good one."
A Jayhawk for life
Former walk-on loa Branstrom is still on the sidelines for a team that wears blue. This time he's the coach, the bead man for Olathe Northwest High School's girls varsity team. He's been the school's only coach since it opened in 2003.
Branstrom, who played from 1994-97, is 10 years removed from his Jayhawk days, but they still remain a part of his life.
"It's amazing how many people know you. It's almost embarrassing." Branstrom said. "But it's a credit to how great KU fans are. I'm proud to be a layhawk."
One story of recognition sticks out in Branstrom's mind. He was attending church in Olathe, and a woman in her 60s called out his name and asked how he was doing. She started talking about Jayhawk basketball and said her mom was an even bigger fan than she was.
Branstrom was shocked when the next week the woman brought her mom to church with her. He said the woman's mom, who had to have been in her 80s, knew everything about him and even remembered his Senior Day speech.
In a few years, Kleimann will likely be telling the same stories. The architecture major will have a job out of basketball, but his experience as a jayhawk will never leave him.
"In general, for anyone who plays for KU, the doors are open," he said. "The qualities you learn playing basketball for KU carry over into whatever you want to do."
And it will be about more than having old women recognizing him in church. Branstrom said learning about the game and life from former Kansas coach Roy Williams benefited him in his career. Kleinmann sees the same for his future.
Still dreaming
Kleinmann still has two years left to be a lajayhawk. That means two more years of hard work, but also two years of benefits. Kleinmann could be part of a national championship team this season. And hey, not everyone gets a standing ovation when he or
Branstrom would advise Klemmmann mainly to enjoy the journey while he still can.
she walks into a restaurant
"It's demanding and tough."
Branstrom said. "Have little things to be competitive with and that keeps it fun. Just be thankful for what you're doing and what God gave you."
It wouldn't be too hard to persuade Kleinmann to do that.
"It's a fantasy come true," he said. "I can't help but smile every time I'm on the court. Who wouldn't enjoy playing in Allen Fieldhouse?"

Texas (21-7, 11-3)
Here's a little known fact the Longhorns could be Big 12 Conference champions. The all the talk has been about Kansas and Texas A&M — and rightfully so, they are first and second, respectively — but Texas will win the championship if it defeats those two teams this

row. The last two have been especially respectable. The Longhorns whipped Texas Tech by 29 points eight days ago and won a tough game at Oklahoma by 10. That was better than Kansas did Monday night. The
reason for this surge? Players not named Kevin Durant are starting to step up. In the Red Raider walloping, each Longhorn starter scored in double figures.

Big 12 writer Mark Dent's take on the men's conference race
Start a Conversation With These Topics
It was a slow week for spectacular performances, so why not recognize the Big 12's seniors? They will all be playing their last home games this week and really do deserve all the honors. Some people might get sick of watching the standing ovations on TV or seeing walk ons start, but these players have worked hard for four years.
This just in. The Big 12 North
has been renamed. It is now called the KU+SWAC because every team in the North, besides Kansas, is of similar quality to the teams that make up the Southwestern Athletic Conference (home to powerhouses such as Arkansas Pine Bluff and Prairie View A&M). Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri and Iowa State are emBarrassments. Not one of those teams should even play in the NIT. Kansas State gets a little bit of leeway, but the only reason the Wildcats are in the hunt for the NCAA Tournament is because they've played each one of those disgraces twice. This conference has been bad before, but this is by far the worst the North has ever been.
Can't we just have one No. 1?
It's absolute nonsense that college basketball analysts aren't giving Kansas and Texas A&M any
love for a No. 1 seed. Somehow Florida still makes a better case even though it just lost to LSU, the worst team in its conference. Ditto for Wisconsin, even though the Badgers have lost two in a row. Worse still is North Carolina. The Tar Heels have lost three of their last seven games, including one to a pitiful North Carolina State team. If Texas A&M or Kansas wins out, it should be a lock for a No. 1 seed.
The Dora Watch
For those who have missed this section, "Fastbreak" predicted that Texas Tech's Darryl Dora wouldn't score in double digits the rest of the season after scoring 18 in an upset against Kansas. Dora came painfully short of scoring 10 points in both of his games this week, but he did make some progress. Dora actually started a game. Sure, it was Senior Day, but
that's as close as Dora is going to get to achieving something for the rest of this year.
Keep a close watch on the race for irrelevance
It really is hard to pick a team for this spot. Obviously Colorado is a shoe in every week, but the entire Big 12 has underperformed so much, especially the North, that almost any team could be chosen. That said, Fastbreak will stick to the Buffaloes. Here's a little reminder for those who may have missed it. Earlier this season, Colorado only beat, gulp. Northern Colorado by two points at home. Northern Colorado has only been a Division 1 basketball team for three and a half years. Colorado-Colorado Springs did a better job against Northern Colorado than Colorado did and that was at Northern Colorado.
You Probably said 'Oh My Gosh' about ...
Mike Anderson's rant
Anderson has always been depicted as a great guy and basketball coach. That's why it was surprising when he went "Gary Pinkel" after his team's overtime loss to Nebraska last Saturday. He pointed to the officiating as the reason for his team's loss, a move that Pinkel, Missouri's football coach, has perfected. Anderson doesn't need to resort to that. He done a good job this year with a team lacking in talent. Hopefully he'll know better in the future.

Mizzou coach sees progress
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri's Mike Anderson isn't ready to assess his first year as coach just yet.
His team still has two regular season games remaining, plus at least one more at the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City, so assessment can wait.
But he will say that heading into Wednesday's game against Colorado (6-18, 2-12), that his team has been playing its best basketball of the season.
After losing its first four conference games, two of them at home. Missouri has gone 6-4, including
"I think our kids are understanding a little bit more about the things we're trying to do," Anderson said. "We still have a ways to go but our team, they're improving, they're progressing."
three road victories.
The Tigers' (17-10, 6-8) hopes of making an NCAA Tournament may have died with their 82-77 loss to Nebraska Saturday, but a top-half finish in the conference and an NIT berth is still possible.
"We'll see what takes place these last couple of games" Anderson said. "I think consistency, as a coach, is what you're looking for. And I want to see if we can consistently bring the effort that we've been bringing."
Consistency is something Anderson and his team has been struggling with all season. But with the emergence of freshman guard Keen Lawrence, who was recovering from a preseason foot injury for half of the season, Missouri now has multiple offensive threats.
Junior college transfer Stefano Hannah still leads Missouri in scoring with a 15.7 average, but
Lawrence has scored in double figures five times since entering the starting lineup Feb. 6.
"I think it's been refreshing to have a guy like Keon come in and have another option." Anderson said. "I think, as he got healthier, he gave our team a shot in the arm."
Colorado, which has lost 12 straight conference road games, is led by Richard Roby's 17.2 points per game and freshman Xavier Silas, who is averaging 12.1.
The Buffaloes have lost five straight games, only one of which was closer than 16 points. But coach Ricardo Patton, who will step down at the end of this season, said he doesn't think his team has quit.
"My goal is that they go out and compete to the best of their ability and play until the last horn is sound," he said. "If you have a true competitive spirit, that's what you do."

No.1 seed necessary
Jayhawks need high ranking in March to exorcise first-round demons
Does it matter who will be No.1 soaks in the NCAA men's basketball tourna
ment?
To one team, it matters if they want to survive the first round — Kansas.
here's why — Kansas needs a win in the first round, and a No. 1 seed is as close to a sure win.
Kansas will be a No.1 seed.
But who will be those top seeds! The teams that everyone assumed would be slated for the top spots have tattered lately—those teams being Wisconsin, North Carolina and Florida
BY ERIC JORGENSEN
KANSAN.SPORT5 COLUMNIST
EJORGENSEN@KANSAN.COM
After escaping Norman, Okla., with a victory, the Jayhawks will bounce back and defeat Texas like they should. From there, all they have to do is not get blown out in the Big 12 tournament and they'll be a No. 1 in the NCAA tournament.
For everyone else, the No. 1 seed
Kansas is the only team that needs to be a top seed.
The first round of the NCAA tourney has a stigma attached to it lately for the Jawhaws. If they make it out of the first round, they'll relax and blow through the field.
can be a curse. It paints a giant red bull's-eye on the team and a No. 2 seed can ease the pressure a bit, but a loss would still warrant a giant upset.
North Carolina has had its late season flops, but it will win out the regular season and the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. That run, doubled with the selection committee's love for North Carolina, will equal a Tar Heel No. 1 seed.
Here are the other teams that will be No. 1 seeds come tournament time: UCLA, Ohio State and North Carolina.
Before Tuesday I had Florida as a No.1 seed, but thanks to Tennessee that idea got shot down. Although I think UCLA is going to lose to Washington State this week, the Bruins will have a better record than the Gators going into
the postseason tournament. As long as UCLA equals Florida's finish in their respective conference tournaments, UCLA will take the No. 1 seed. Ohio State is set as a No. 1 seed, although it's probably the worst of the four. Ohio State only has one game left at Michigan, who is terrible. The Buckeyes will likely meet the Badgers in the Big Ten tournament championship, in which the winner will be the last No. 1 in this year's field. Barring a Wisconsin three-point shooting extravaganza, Ohio State will win.
Although the Buckeyes are the only lock for the premier seed, they'll be the first ones to lose in the NCAA tournament. They're young and definitely not experienced in March. They'll make it out of the first round, but any further will be hard. A hot shooting team in the second round or Sweet Sixteen will inevitably beat the Buckeyes. The other three will all make deep tournament runs.
How about that for Bracketology?
Eat your heart out, Joe Lunardi.

Syracuse continues revival
Victory against Hoyas could push Orange into tournament
BY JOHN KEKIS ASSOCIATED PRESS
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Two weeks ago, Syracuse seemed destined for that other tournament. Not anymore.
After losing four times in five tries to ranked teams and struggling through a three-game midseason slide, the Orange (21-8, 10-5 Big East) punctuated their resurgence Monday night by beating No. 9 Georgetown 72-58 for their fifth straight victory.
It was only the second triumph in six games against ranked teams for Syracuse. But this one halted an 11-game winning streak by the conference's top team, and that will look very good on the resume.
Georgetown (22-6, 12-3) had won 11 straight conference games for the first time in school history and defeated Pittsburgh 61-53 Saturday to aaveg a road loss to the Panthers in January. The victory against Pitt gave the Hoyas sole possession of first place in the Big East.
"Georgetown has been playing the best of anybody in our conference, maybe as well as anybody in the country". Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said after his 747th career victory, 13th all time in Division I and one more than Phog Allen. "The seniors deserve a lot of the credit. Five or six games ago, people were booing right here in Syracuse, and that's tough to take."
In the other Top 25 game Monday night, it was No. 3 Kansas 67, Oklahoma 65.
There were no boos on this night for the home team from the raucous Carrier Dome crowd of 26,287.
In the final game of his career, senior forward Demetris Nichols, the Big East's leading scorer, had a game-high 22 points and helped key the 14-0 second half spurt that decided the game. Senior Darryl Watkins helped make Georgetown center Roy
Hibbert an afterthought. And senor Terrence Roberts, playing with a torn meniscus in his left knee, gutted out 29 minutes, finishing with six points, six rebounds, two steals and one block while giving his teammates a huge dose of heart.
"Two weeks ago, we didn't deserve to be in (the NCAA tournament)." Boeheim said. "I'm proud of my kids. We knew five games ago we had to win and play well. This game was the culmination. This was our best game."
Against Syracuse's 2-3 zone, the
Hoyas fizzled.

Nichols then drained a three from the right corner after his own steal and Rautins hit again from left wing to give Syracuse a 56-46 lead with 7.31 left.

3-for-13 shooting, the first time he failed to crack double figures in 10 games. And the 7-foot-3 Hibbert, who has had little success against Syracuse, continued that trend with just six points and two rebounds in 20 minutes. Starters Jessie Sapp, Jon Wallace and Dajuan Summers scored a combined 25 points on 4-for-29 shooting, with 15 coming from the free throw line.
"We just weren't converting on offense," said Green, who had 10 rebounds. "We let them go on their runs and we didn't go on ours."
Nichols added a dagger when he hit a three-pointer as the shot-clock buzzer sounded for a 59-46 lead and Watkins hit a hook over Hibbert to complete the run.
The key spurt began after Patrick Ewing Jr's three-point play and two free throws by Sapp put Georgetown up 44-43 with 11:58 left.
Georgetown, first in the Big East and fifth nationally in scoring defense at 56.1 points per game, got a taste of its own medicine. The Hoyas shot 29.8 percent for the game, just

"You can't let that happen on the road." Georgetown coach John Thompson III said. "You can't miss some of the shots we missed and you can't give them the looks that they
got if you want to win. We picked the wrong night to have maybe our worst day of the year. They just beat us"
Eric Devendorf had 11 points and a career high 11 assists, Rautins had 13 points, and Paul Harris 11.
"We knew we were capable of beating them," said Nichols, who finished 6-for-16 shooting. "We came out with a lot of drive and hunger."
Syracuse, which moved into a fourth-place tie with Notre Dame in the conference, closes its regular season at Villanova on Saturday aiming to beat the Wildcats for the second straight time. A loss, though, won't be so devastating now.
"We knew we needed a couple more wins to solidify (our chances to make the NCAA tournament)." Devendorf said. "I can't really say we're in or not, but this really helped."

Tar Heels wilting late in games Nation's other top teams also struggling in recent weeks
BY DAVID GINSBURG ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Teams with aspirations of winning a national championship can't afford to wilt in the final minutes of a close game.
Unless No. 5 North Carolina can correct that unsightly habit, the Tar Heels probably won't get far in the NCAA tournament.
North Carolina (24-5, 10-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) blew a 13-point lead, then built the margin back to 12 with just more than 7 minutes left before fading.
D. J. Strawberry scored a career-high 27 points, Mike Iones had 18, and Maryland rallied from a 12-point deficit in the second half Sunday to defeat the Tar Heels 89-87 and extend its winning streak to five games.
tough."
"This is very frustrating," North Carolina center Tyler Hansbrough said. "We can't crumble whenever the game gets tight. We have to be
In Sunday's other Top 25 games, it was No. 2 Ohio State 49, No. 1 Wisconsin, 48; No. 7 Memphis 77, Houston 64; No. 1 Vanderbilt 67, Kentucky 65; No. 1 Duke 67, St. Johns 50 and No. 2 Lousville 76, Connecticut 69.
The Tar Heels' five losses this season are by a combined 21 points. In this one, North Carolina led for the first 37 minutes before Maryland took over.
"We lacked focus. We didn't convert the way we should down the stretch." forward Reysbawn Terry said. "We had another breakdown. We keep hitting the same wall. It's making me a little nervous, honestly."
North Carolina had a chance to force overtime with 3.5 seconds left, but Brandon Wright missed the first of two free throws and the Tar Heels failed to control the rebound of his second misfire.
As the final buzzer sounded, fans rushed the court to celebrate
the Terrapins' first victory against North Carolina in six tries since Jan. 14, 2004.
"We have a pretty good belief in ourselves this year" Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "The seniors knew the game wasn't over and they knew we had time to come back. The big thing was to stop them from scoring."
James Gist had 12 points for Maryland (22-7, 8-6). Before their five-game run, the Terrapins were 3-6 in the ACC and in danger of missing the NCAA tournament for a third straight season.
Now, after being all but written off three weeks ago, Maryland can count on a return trip.
"You get criticized around here when you lose," Williams said. "That's part of the deal. I guess, when you've won a national championship (in 2002)."
"They've got themselves right back in it," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said.
NFL
League tries to clean up its image
BY DAVE GOLDBERG
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Three times a week, Tony Dungy stands in front of his Indianapolis Colts and reads the newspapers. Specifically, the police blotter: stories about athletes in trouble with the law.
Thus the proposal by commissioner Roger Goodell and Gene Upshaw, executive director of the NFL Players Association, to enact a "three strikes and you're out" rule that would ban players for life after a third conviction.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, even when it's someone as respected as Dungy doing the talking. Example: After the Colts won the Super Bowl, one of the game's stars, running back Dominic Rhodes, was charged with drunken driving, the third Colt arrested in the last two years.
"We have to face it, there's a problem" Upshaw told the AP Wednesday. "The percentage of players involved in this is very, very low. But there's a perception out there and the problems are real."
What makes this unique is that the push is partly coming from players, starting with 10 who attended a meeting in Indianapolis last week with Goodell, Upshaw and
Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen.
It was called to discuss escalating misbehavior involving NFL players, including the shooting that left Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams dead after the team's final game on New Year's Eve.
"If you want players to listen, it has to come from the bottom, not the top. Not from Roger and me," Upshaw said. "If other players tell them that's the way it should be, it has a much greater effect."
Last fall, Goodell called Cincinnati Bengals president Mike Brown and offered help for a team-wide problem — eight Bengals (now nine) arrested in a year.

Blunt blamed in hit and run
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Police are investigating reports that James Blunt ran over someone's foot as he was leaving a party, then drove off, authorities said Tuesday.
The alleged victim told police his foot was injured at a party at
about 1:50 a.m. Saturday, police spokeswoman Martha Garcia said.
"Some of the witnesses also reported that it was Mr. Blunt who was driving the car," she said.
"James was leaving a party and his car was swarmed by paparazzi." Blunt's publicist Sheila
Richman said.
The celebrity news Web site TMZ.com reported that Blunt was accompanied in the car by supermodel Petra Nemcova.

Phish singer pleads not guilty
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT EDWARD, N.Y. — Trey Anastasio pleaded not guilty Tuesday to drug charges stemming from a Dec. 15 traffic stop and was released on bail.
He could get 14 years in prison if convicted on all counts. All the charges, though, carry minimum sentences that involve no incarceration.
The former Phish frontman, of Richmond, Vt., is charged with felony counts of illegally possessing prescription painkillers and driving while impaired. He is also charged with possessing heroin and an anti-anxiety medication prescribed for someone else, which are misdemeanors.
Anastasio, who appeared in court to enter the plea, agreed to a pre-plea investigation that would help the court get to know him better "and help you resolve your case," Judge Kelly McKeighan said.
Attorney Steve Coffey said Anastasio, 42, had a drug problem and was seeking treatment. He attended a 28-day treatment program in January and was attempting to overcome his addiction,
Coffey said. "He has a problem, he
knows it and is working with it."
Coffey said.
Coffey also said Anastasia instructed him not to fight the charges.
Anastasio and his wife, Susan, left without commenting to a crowd of media.
He is scheduled to return to court March 27.
>> ACADEMY AWARDS
"He told me. I'm here to face the consequences and work it out with the court and go on with my life!" Coffey said.

Oprah special beats out Barbara Walters
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey beat Barbara Walters at her own game during Oscar's week.
Winfrey's first Academy Awards interview special reached 15.4 million viewers last Thursday on ABC. Walters' special on Oscars night, her 26th, drew an audience of 14.5 million, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The two media titans made a point of saying they were not in competition, and their shows had separate themes. Winfrey set up Oscar winners to interview other Oscar winners — Julia Roberts and George Clooney, for example. Walters did her traditional interview show, this year with Helen Mirren, Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson.
Walters' show ran before the Oscars in eastern time zones, and after the ceremony out west Wintrey's special run on Thursday directly following ABC's hottest show, "Grey's Anatomy."
For the network ratings competition last week, the arithmetic was simple: three nights of "American Idol" trumps one night of the Academy Awards.
The Oscars were seen by 40.2 million viewers on Sunday,up from last year's audience of 38.8 million, Nielsen said.
Even though that led ABC to its best ratings week in more than a year, Fox took the crown because it aired an "American Idol" special Thursday to go with its normal two nights of competition.
Fox averaged 15 million viewers in prime time last week, while ABC averaged 13 million. CBS had 11.2 million, NBC had 8 million, the CW had 3 million and the i network had 680,000.
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with 4.3 million
viewers, Telemundo had 840,000 ano
TeleFutura had 680,000.
For the second time in three weeks, ABC's "World News" won the evening news ratings race, averaging 9.4 million viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" averaged 9.1 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 6.9 million.
A ratings point represents 1,114,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 111.4 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

Ryne Price, junior infielder, slides back into first base after a hit is caught by Oral Roberts during the game in Oklahoma Tuesday. Oral Roberts scored seven runs in the first two innings and beat Kansas 9-1.
Morrison was right. Regardless of the call, Oral Roberts batted its entire order to put up four runs in the first, creating an uphill battle for the lajwhaws. This was their fourth-straight loss this season.
"Its starting to be a little bit worrisome," coach Ritch Price said. "We give up a three-run homer in the first inning against Stanford on Friday. We give up the four-run homer against Stanford on Sunday, then we turn around and give these two home runs up early. We're putting ourselves in a hole, there's no doubt about that."
The Golden Eagles, however, used right hander Chance Chapman (1-0) as a shield to score runs at their leisure. The senior lasted seven innings without surrendering a single run or walk, but striking out nine.
Oral Roberts' offensive attack was relentless as well. Scoring in each of the first three innings, the Golden Eagles scored again in the bottom of the third increasing the lead 8-0.
The hill grew closer to mountain status just one inning later, as Van Kirk blasted a home run to left.
trying to do with our younger guys," Morrison said. "Keep their confidence level up and not let the big immy like that hurt us."
That ended the day for Marcel (1-1), the shortest appearance by a starter this season. The freshman left after 1 1/3 innings, surrendering six runs on six hits.
Price said, although he praised his players for taking Chapman's first pitch breaking ball for a ball in most instances. "But when the count went 3-2 or 2-2, he was still able to throw it for a strike and that's why I thought he was so effective."
"We've inst got to not lose focus with what we're

Little goes right in fourth-straight loss
BY SHAWN SHROYER
TULSA, Okla. — By the bottom of the sixth inning, coach Ritch Price had had enough.
No sooner had third-base umpire Terry Harrison let out a sate call, than Price, a normally reserved presence in the Kansas dugout, was on his way to vehemently object to Harrison's face. Price, though, stopped himself short of getting ejected.
On the play, Oral Roberts' Jake Kahauelio dove into third base and appeared to be tagged just before reaching the bag. Harrison, however, ruled Kahauelio safe for a triple.
Price declined to comment on the play after the game.
In reality, the play had little impact on the final result - a 9-1 score in the Golden Eagle.
- but it was symbolic of a game
in which little went right for the jayhawks.
Just three innings earlier, in the bottom of the third, a seemingly harmless pop fly by Oral Roberts catcher Brian Van Kirk to shallow right field led to a bizarre play at the plate.
With Oral Roberts' Brendan Duffy standing on third, Kansas junior right fielder Brock Simpson caught the ball clearly, but his throw toward home plate to keep Duffy on third wasn't as smooth.
Simpson's throw skipped in front of senior catcher Dylan Parzyk and glanced off his mask, flying to the backstop. That allowed Duffy to cross the plate and add to Oral Roberts' bloated lead.
At the plate, the Jayhawks managed just eight hits and struck out 14 times.
'There’s definitely some guys struggling, no doubt about it' junior
shortstop Erik Morrison said, "Guys are going to struggle, especially with the young team that we have, and you just have to be the first one there to pat them on the butt and tell them. 'You can do it.'"
The loss extended Kansas' losing streak to four games its longest since April 2005. Although three close losses to Stanford last week-end were respectable, the one-sided loss to Oral Roberts on Tuesday afternoon offered some proof that Kansas was still recovering from its inability to practice outside and an 11-day break caused by poor field conditions.
Senior right handed pitcher Chance Chapman started for Oral Roberts and recorded nine strikeouts thanks to an effective mix of breaking balls. Price said his players mainly struggled against Chapman because they hadn't had many chances to face live pitching outside
this season.
"The more we get outside, the better job we'll do handling the breaking ball." Price said.
However, Morrison didn't want to fault Kansas' performance on the poor weather in Lawrence.
"I don't want to think that," Morrison said. "It definitely hurts not being able to go outside for four weeks, but there's no excuses."
Luckily for the Jayhawks, their home opener is on the horizon. Kansas is scheduled to play a three-game set with Western Illinois at Hoglund Ballpark this weekend, and the players believe it could be what they need to break out of their recent funk.
"Hopetfully we can get home, get some good work in these next few days, get our confidence level up this weekend and play some good baseball." Morrison said. "That should carry us into Arkansas and College

W — Chapman (1-0)
L — Marceliel, W (1-1)
HR — ORU: Van Kirk; McQuigg
Station and we should be right on track."
For Price, the home series will almost be a bonus compared to having the opportunity to practice regularly outside.
"It's crucial," Price said. "The most important thing is we need to get outside on our field and be able to take batting practice and play a home game."
