WOEFUL "WHOO"
CHANGING THE CHANT
ALL I WANT FOR X-MAS IS T-ROB

Fans display signs of their favorite players before the start of Saturday's game against Iowa State at Allen Filedhouse where the Jayhawks were victorious 78-67.

Never before has an onomatopoia caused so much debate.
A Facebook group created several years ago after fans started noticing a "whoo" between verses of the Rock Chalk Chant grabbed the attention of local news outlets last month, turning a grievance into a controversy.
"I have nothing against fans who are exuberant and there cheering at the game, it's just that this is a 100 year tradition," said Paul Birkholz, a 1998 graduate who created the Facebook group. "There's not many universities out there that have anything close to that."
Birkholz said that the whoo makes the chant seem more like a high school cheer and disregards the chant's long history, but many students at Saturday's men's basketball game felt that the whoo shouldn't be an issue.
"I don't really see how it's a big deal," said Chelsea Vaught, a doctoral student from Henderson, Neb. "It's just a whoo."
Carson Pedigo, asophomore from Wichita, appreciates the addition and said the whoosh should definitely remain a part of the chant.

Other students are less accepting of the change.

CRIME
Sororities warn members of potential online imposters
RACHEL SALYER
RACHEL SALTER
rsalyer@kansan.com
When Colleen Monaghan, a junior from Overland Park, logs onto her blog, Twitter and Facebook, a sorority meeting last spring is at the forefront of her thoughts.
The University's Delta Gamma chapter warned Monaghan and other members that some Facebook users aren't who they say they are. Male impersonators posing as sorority sisters on the social networking site were attempting to message other members to convince them to meet up.
"We were told the impersonators would message you, just like a friend would." Monaghan said. "They didn't say specifically who was targeted. They only told us that we was on going at the University."
Following the incident, the sorority asked its members to make profiles private, turn off phone locations and also updated its entrance system.
While Monaghan wasn't personally targeted, realizing how easy it was to become an online target made her rethink her safety. As a blogger, she struggles with being personable and safe.
“it's hard because you want people to know you,” Monaghan said. “The more the personal connection, the more likely people will read your stuff, but at the same time, I don't want people to be able to find me”
targeted other sororites, like those at Kansas State University.
Claire Jensen, a Kansas State University junior from El Dorado, joined the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and started receiving Facebook friend requests.
"I thought I would at least recognize everybody," Jensen said. "But one girl's profile looked weird and she didn't look familiar."
Online impersonators also
As Jensen mulled over her profile, she realized the birthdate put the woman in her sixties, though she looked young in her profile picture.
"I messaged her, and she said the profile picture was of her granddaughter," Jensen said. "She said her granddaughter had just become a Zeta and so she was adding all of her friends."
"You can only be as safe as your computer," said Chelsie Hadlock, a graduate student from Steamboom Springs, Colo., who works in the University's department of Information and Technology.
According to a Pew Research Center study, 98 percent of undergraduates use the Internet, with 86 percent of those students using social networking sites.
Jensen and her sorority sisters found it unusual that someone would request people they didn't know, so they reported the profile.
"After we reported it, we found out about the fake profiles," Jensen said. "Our president told all of the sorority members what to look for."
Hadlock has some personal tips for safe Internet use, and the University provides tips of its own on the information technology security office website.
Be careful with insecure connections. Personal information sent over free networks can be accessed by others.
- Keep your computer up-to-date.
As new bugs develop, programs will update their systems to deflect them.
Use antivirus software. The University provides Sophos Antivirus free to students online.
Use strong passwords. Make passwords meaningful to only you.
All University sites will end in ku.edu in the URL bar. If not, do not enter your personal information.
Monaghan remembers her own advice every time she logs on.
"It doesn't take much for one piece of information to get you in trouble," Monaghan said. "Think about what you are putting for the world to see."

Learning changes with e-textbooks

As e-readers become more common in society, the possibility of e-textbooks in the classroom instead of actual textbooks could alter the landscape of how classes are taught and information is learned.
"I have seen the use of e-books in other college bookstores, just not here at KU," said Randi Pounds, store manager of Jayhaw Bookstore. Professors at other universities have exclusively assigned e-textbooks for their class, but that has yet to happen at the University.
Ase-book versions of textbooks become more widely available, they provide students and faculty both benefits and

"Teachers would have to change the way they teach," said Tim Reeb, a junior from Haysville who works as a technology specialist in the KU Bookstore. "Students would have to change the way they learn."
Reeb believes that the comprehensive adoption of e-textbooks will take place in the next five to 10 years. Reeb said e-textbooks allow versions of text material to be updated, similar to software on a computer. E-readers also allow simpler annotating, copying and commenting without distracting from the text. Web links to supplementary material and embedded videos can

New website offers political coverage
In some newsrooms it's called "The Churn." Other places refer to it as "feeding the beast." But no matter what you call it, most daily newsrooms are slaves to the 24-hour news cycle. Quality of content often takes a backseat to quantity.
At PoliticalFiber.com, a new political news website affiliated with the KU School of Journalism, we're bowing out of the race to break scandals and tweet .027 seconds faster than our competition. Our goal is to take a slow news approach to political coverage by providing thoughtful, in-depth analysis and reporting about the political issues that most affect you.
On our site, you'll find links to
the day's top stories as well as original content produced by our team of reporters, opinion writers and multimedia designers - all with a focus on the 2012 presidential and state elections.
In partnering with the UDK, you'll find our content here every weekday, as well as on Kansan.com. Beginning Feb. 1, PoliticalFiber.com will go live. We look forward to working with you, dear reader, to build on this grand experiment and create a destination for state political coverage and a forum for informed conversation.

LEGAL
In-store alcohol tastings may pass
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — Some Kansas liquor store owners are hoping the Legislature makes it legal for them to hold tastings in which customers can sample certain products before buying them.
A measure introduced in the state Senate by several liquor marketing associations is the result of a controversy that emerged after retailers started arranging tastings near their liquor stores.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that because state law blocked consumption of alcoholic beverages inside stores, proprietors staged events nearby. That stopped after representatives of the Kansas Department of Revenue issued a policy memorandum in August declaring the agency's interpretation of state law prohibited samplings, whether free or not, "in, on, or about the licensed premises."
"We've talked about it," said Shawn McKeever, a liquor store clerk at Fleming Place Wine and Spirits. "We sell a lot of craft beer."
The Senate measure would
allow retailers to host in-store tastings for people interested in trying unfamiliar beers, wines or distilled spirits.
Regulators concluded no tastings would be authorized for party or smoke shops, parking lots, sidewalks or alleys adjacent to liquor store property.
R. E. "Tuck" Duncan, a Statehouse lobbyist working with organizations seeking to get the bill passed, said the intent was to establish in state law the opportunity for liquor stores to host tastings similar to those well known to wine country enthusiasts.
A Senate hearing on the bill is likely in a few weeks, and Duncan said the measure hasn't sparked an outpouring of criticism.
Lawsuit dismissed in Topeka hostage case
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Colorado man who held a couple hostage in their Kansas home then sued them for breach of contract for turning him over to police.
Jesse Dimmick contended that he had a legally binding oral contract with Jared and Lindsay Rowley that they would hide him from police in return for an unspecified amount of money.
Dimmick was a fugitive facing a murder charge on Sept. 12, 2009, when he burst into the
Rowley's Topeka-area home and confronted them at knifepoint. The Rowleys gained Dimmick's confidence and were able to escape when he fell asleep. Police stormed the home and detained Dimmick, shooting him in the back during the arrest.
Dimmick, of Denver, was convicted in May 2010 of four felonies including two counts of kidnapping and sentenced to almost 11 years in prison. He still faces murder charges in the September 2009 killing of Michael Curtis in Brighton, Colo.
The Rowleys sued Dimmick
in September seeking more than $75,000 in damages. Dimmick counter-sued for breach of contract, seeking $160,000 to cover hospital bills and $75,000 for pain and suffering. Dimmick said the Rowleys had reneged on their promise to keep him hidden from authorities in return for cash.
The Rowleys deny they ever agreed to that and their attorney, Bob Keeshan, says even if they had such an agreement, it wouldn't be considered legally binding because it would have been made under duress.

Seventeen stolen bunnies returned to their owner
PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland police say more than a dozen rabbits reported stolen the night before a rabbit-cooking class have been returned by bunny advocates who had been caring for them.
Members of the volunteer group Rabbit Advocates say they're trying to buy the bunnies so they can live as pets.
Police say 18 rabbits belonging to farmer Levi Cole disappeared on Jan. 7. Cole says the theft occurred the night before he taught a class on raising, slaughtering and cooking rabbits.
Cole is an instructor for the Portland Meat Collective. He believes the theft was politically motivated. Police have no suspects.
Rabbit Advocates board member Erin Ford says the bunnies were dumped anonymously at the home of a volunteer.
Police Lt. Robert King said 17 rabbits were picked up Friday from the advocates' lawyer's office. King says police are still looking for one small, gray rabbit named Roger. Ford says she believes he's still in foster care.
Trucker unknowingly creates gun arsenal
IZHEVSK, Russia — Reports say a Russian villager ended up with his own private arsenal after buying wooden containers for firewood.

Little did he know, the crates contained 79 Kalashnikov rifles, spare parts and more than 250 cases of ammunition.
reported Friday that a truck driver had decided to make extra money by selling crates he was transporting from an arms plant in the Ural Mountains to a nearby landfill.
The report said the villager turned over the arsenal to local police, who say they are now checking the grounds of the lzhmash factory — which makes Kalashnikovs and other
weapons — for compliance with safety standards.
ITAR-Tass reported that a preliminary investigation had found the rifles were sent from the Defense Ministry to lzhmash for recycling or disposal.

Leal Caal's bodyguard was wounded by the gunmen, who abandoned their motorcycle nearby, chief investigator Fernando Gomez said.
Outgoing President Alvaro Colom said there was no immediate evidence the crime was linked to congressional affairs or Perez's inauguration.
Retired general Otto Perez Molina was sworn in as president Saturday and he told the newspaper Prensa Libre that Leal had been receiving death threats since beginning discussions about joining Perez's conservative Patriotic Party.
Perez has pledged to crack down on organized crime and Mexican drug cartels.
Off-shore Chevron oil rig catches fire, "gas kick" believed to be the cause
The company said it was still investigating the fire, which occurred near its North Apoi oil platform, and which forced it to shut down.
AFRICA
Chevron said two workers were missing and 152 others found, but gave no further detail on the missing persons.
LAGOS, NIGERIA — An offshore rig exploring possible deepwater oil and gas fields off Nigeria's coast for Chevron Corp. caught fire Monday, and the oil company said officials were still trying to account for all those working there.
"We immediately flew out people to the nearby North Apoi platform,
and have been helping those needing any medical assistance," Chevron spokesman Scott Walker said in a statement.
Chevron did not immediately say what caused the fire. However, Nigeria's government believes a "gas kick" — a major build up of gas pressure from drilling — was responsible, said Levi Ajuonoma, a spokesman for the state-run Nigerian National Petroleum Corp.
$170 million Russian space probe falls back to Earth, lands in Pacific ocean
ASIA
MOSCOW A Russian space probe designed to boost the nation's pride on a bold mission to a moon of Mars has come down in flames, showering fragments into the south Pacific west of Chile's coast, officials said.
Pieces from the Phobos-Ground, which had become stuck in Earth's orbit, landed in water Sunday 1,250 kilometers (775 miles) west of Wellington Island in Chile's south, the Russian military Air and Space Defense Forces said in a statement carried by the country's news agencies.
The $170 million craft was one of the heaviest and most toxic pieces of space junk ever to crash to Earth, but space officials and experts said the risks posed by its crash were minimal because the rocket fuel on
board and most of the craft's structure would burn up in the atmosphere high above the ground anyway.

The government already is locked in a bitter conflict with the army, and Monday's Supreme Court ruling boosted the sense the administration could fall, squeezed between the court and Pakistan's powerful generals. The government is also grappling with an ailing economy and a dangerous Taliban insurgency.

Birkholz said the whoos at Saturday's game already sounded more muted to him and several other members of the group.
Birkholz acknowledges that problem but expects that the whoo will fade once fans become aware of tradition. As for how he would like to see the university proceed, Birkholz said that a video message by Bill Self or another prominent figure discouraging the whoo before the game would be ideal. Teaching the original version of the chant at Traditions Night would also help.

However, some disadvantages exist as well. Even though e-textbooks are generally cheaper than their hardback counterparts, they may not be able to be used after a certain date. Also, the savings that is incurred by the publisher from not manufacturing actual textbooks may not be seen by the consumer; the cost of textbooks could remain the same, even though e-books are cheaper to make and distribute. Propriety file formats present
the most challenging obstacle for e-textbooks. That is, e-textbooks may exclusively be available only on a certain e-reader device.
According to PC World, Apple is already taking steps to corner the market on e-textbooks. This means that certain licensed e-textbooks may only be available on iPads. Therefore students would be forced to own a particular e-reader in order to have access to certain e-textbooks.
"On final exams where students can use their texts for quotes, I certainly would not want them to be able to access the internet with their electronic devices," said assistant professor Philip Wedge of the English department.
For faculty members, e-textbooks would allow for access to material no longer in print. Nevertheless, they also present an easy distraction for students to check email, watch videos, or troll facebook instead of paying attention during class. Internet access

house south of downtown Miami. Simpson's attorney has since filed a motion to dismiss the case, but there has been no further action since November.
Simpson bought the 4,233-square-foot house in 2000 for $575,000, property records show. Its current assessed value is $478,401, with property taxes of about $9,000. The 2011 taxes were paid in December.
The 64-year-old former football star and actor is serving a nine-to-33-year prison sentence stemming from a 2007 armed confrontation with sports memorabilia dealers
in a Las Vegas casino hotel room. Simpson was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges. He is appealing the conviction.
Simpson was acquitted in 1995 in the Los Angeles slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. A civil jury in California later ordered Simpson to pay $33.5 million for Goldman's wrongful death. The attorney for Goldman's father, Fred Goldman, said Monday the bankruptcy case played directly into the Simpson foreclosure.

"Bootylicious" was the title of a song by Beyonce's previous group, Destiny's Child.
Lessard said Beyonce would be "in the nature history books forever" and that the fly now bearing her name is "pretty bootylicious" with its golden backside.

Bootylicious bug named Beyonce
SCIENCE
CANBERRA, Australia — A newly discovered horse fly in Australia was so "bootylicious" with its golden-haired bum, there was only one name worthy of its beauty: Beyonce.
he was unable to find any live specimens when he went looking in 2010 in northeast Queensland's Atherton Tablelands, where it was captured three decades ago. However, at least one member of the public has alerted him that he was recently bitten by what's locally called the "gold bum fly."
Lessard says he hasn't heard from Beyonce, who recently gave birth to her first child, but he is a fan and hopes she will take his scientific gesture as a compliment. He also said the name was picked to help draw attention to the importance of his field and the need for more researchers to catalog and study insects.
The description of the fly was earlier published in the Australian Journal of Entomology, but the results were announced last week.
Horse flies are "vital pollinators of native plants, not just in Australia, but all over the world," Lessard said. "It's extremely important to name all the undescribed species so we can measure our human impact on the environment and hopefully protect it for future generations to enjoy."

Unusually named man arrested in Wisconsin
ODD NEWS
Court records show that his name used to be Jeffrey Drew Wilschke. He legally changed it in October.
MADISON, Wis. — Authorities in southern Wisconsin are facing a tongue twister thanks to the arrest of Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop.
The unusually named 30-year-old man was in jail Sunday in Madison, Police say he violated his bail conditions from a previous run-in with the law.
The Capital Times reports that Zopittybop-Bop-Bop was arrested last week after residents complained of excessive drinking and drug use near Reynolds Park in Madison. Authorities say he was arrested in another local park last April after police found a loaded handgun in his backpack.

Low prices on digital albums alter official sales numbers
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In the history books, however, the record may come with an asterisk. About 440,000 copies of "Born This Way" were sold by online retailer Amazon.com for 99 cents, as a promotion for its online storage service.
LOS ANGELES — Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" made history last June when it blew onto U.S. pop charts with more than 1.1-million albums sold in the first week, the best debut sales figure since 2005.
After changes last month to Billboard's album charts, those aren't "album sales" and they don't count.
Billboard, the 117-year-old music industry bible, has published weekly sales charts for the top-selling U.S. albums since the mid-1950s. When Billboard exclusively began incorporating sales data from Nielsen SoundScan in 1991, its premier chart, the Billboard 200, became the sole reliable source for tracking music purchases in the United States. By relying on retail statistics rather than estimates from the labels, the Billboard 200 gave the music business an honest look at sales and offered
retailers and consumers a hyperefree way to determine an album's true popularity, a way to close the gap between hype and the albums fans actually wanted to purchase.
But the music business is changing fast. Peer-to-peer file trading undermined the CD business. The popularity of Apple's iTunes store drove music sales increasingly online, toward digital sales. Last year, physical album sales fell 5.7 percent while digital album sales rose 20 percent.
But even as the music industry continued to fight through a tremendous upheaval, in which a band's YouTube views and Facebook friends are touted as data, the Billboard 200 album chart continued to track what fans were actually buying — whether digital albums or real ones.
At the same time, digital streaming services such as Spotify, Rhapsody and MOG offer customers a way to enjoy music as a subscription service, not a retail experience. YouTube views and Facebook friends became the new metrics. Over time, the album lost its dominance as the arbiter of pop power.
Then Amazon and Google
started offering entire albums at cut-rate prices. Billboard was forced to ask itself a question. How inexpensive can an album be before it's basically free, and not a legitimate sale?
Billboard's answer: $3.49, or roughly half the retail cost of an album. Anything sold below that price point, Billboard determined, will no longer be counted as a sale on the Billboard 200.
The new policy is only in effect in the first four weeks of an album's release, or, in the case of Christmas-themed albums, the entire holiday season. It's rare to find a new album priced below $3.49, although Amazon, whose spokespeople did not return calls, will occasionally promote new albums at $2.99 or below in an effort to boost traffic to its site.
But the new math will change the way album sales are calculated, and perhaps even marketed. Had the rules been in effect all year, there would have been no million-selling debut album in 2011. Based on earlier data published in its trade paper, Billboard estimated that sales of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," would have been counted at 660,000 copies.

CollegeHumor Media hops into making films
LOS ANGELES — Hoping to follow in the footsteps of National Lampoon, the digital-comedy company CollegeHumor Media is taking a stab at the film business.
The firm has signed on to make a movie about thirtysomething underachievers called "Coffee Town," buying a script from former "Arrested Development" writer-producer Brad Copeland and hiring him to direct it. The low-budget movie, which will star a group of up-and-coming actors, is being financed by CollegeHumor and aims to begin shooting in February in Los Angeles.
Although known primarily for its slapstick Web videos across a network of sites, CollegeHumor has been branching out to other platforms. The company, which is owned by the Barry Diller-led IAC, had a short-lived MTV show and also has spun off several books.
"We think we can leverage what we've done into longer things, including features and TV shows," Van Veen said. "There's a market for high-quality long-form content that can go directly to consumers, and we're well-positioned to do
The goal with "Coffee Town," CollegeHumor co-founder Ricky Van Veen said, is to take advantage of the firm's in-house talent as well as capitalize on its brand.
that."
He cited a paid Web special from Louis C.K. that has gained attention in the digital world. The comedian made his one-man show from New York's Beacon Theater available for download at a cost of $5; in the first several weeks, he received nearly 200,000
downloads.
Van Veen said there have been no decisions on whether to distribute "Coffee Town" online. The movie does not yet have traditional theatrical distribution. It is expected to seek that, and other models are being considered as well.

Media creates distorted body image
LIFESTYLE
A few years ago, I was a typical self-conscious, Cosmopolitan-obsessed, female college student who always felt like I needed to lose weight to be satisfied with myself.
By Mandy Matney
mmatney@kansan.com
I had an average 5'4, size 6-8 build, but my weight submerged preoccupied my mind and controlled my mood. My life revolved around what I was eating, when I was going to exercise and how my clothes fit.
No, I didn't have an eating disorder, but I still had a problem. No matter how many calories I didn't eat or how many inches I lost, I was never satisfied with my body.
I slaved away on an elliptical trainer for hours each week, working desperately to rid my legs of that god-awful cellulite.
Coming to terms with my weight and being happy with the body I have took a long time. I had to stop allowing media images define what I thought my body should look like. I had to educate myself on the difference between "healthy" and "culturally ideal."
After researching body image in the United States, I learned that
media and the weight loss industries want Americans to be unsatisfied — otherwise the "health" companies make no money.
Our culture constantly feeds us "size does matter" messages and implants distorted perceptions of beauty in our minds with altered images of nearly anorexic women in every magazine.
We are constantly told that we need to buy books, magazines, pills, videos and ridiculous workout gear so we can get a little bit closer to looking like the models. We tell ourselves that maybe then we'll be happy — except the "then" always seems to allude us.
Because of this marketing, educated, talented and beautiful young women (and men) continue to give into the hype.
Americans reportedly spent $60.9 billion on dieting and weight loss in 2010, according to data from Marketdata Enterprises, Inc.
The media choose to not only use models who are an estimated 23 percent thinner than the average American and mostly statistically anorexic, according to research by sociologist Jean Kilbourn, but they Photoshop these women so their figures are literally impossible to achieve.
Educating myself on false perceptions of beauty made by the media for strictly profit purposes was essential for my self-esteem. It was liberating to realize the media doesn't want me to be happy with my body because they don't make money that way.
According to research provided by Media- awareness.net, women's magazines have 10 times more ads and articles that push weight loss than men's magazines do, and three-quarters of the covers of women's magazines include at least one message about altering a woman's appearance.
I also learned that I had to sur

round myself with healthy friends and family who weren't constantly making me feel self-conscious about my weight.
So, instead of telling yourself to lose weight for this New Year's resolution, focus on gaining confidence instead. Get stronger, not smaller. Trust me, it's much more rewarding.
Now, I run and exercise because I like the way it makes me feel. I eat healthy because I like giving my body the fuel it needs to get stronger. I could are less about losing weight.
Most importantly, I had to gain confidence in myself to know that there is much more to my body than its appearance. I didn't realize this until I completed my first triathlon. Pushing past physical limits made me truly appreciate my body.

Take "whoo" out of chant
Preserve the ominous silence in the original cheer
We all know the chant: the world-famous, eerie, and historical chant which echoes through the rafters in Allen Fieldhouse and across the gridiron of Memorial Stadium. "Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU."
This time tested fan favorite has enthralled crowds, and chased out opponents for over a century. However, this great tradition has recently been tarnished by a continually growing number of "whoo" birds who are degrading the intentional pronounced silence which is supposed to separate each line in the chant.
We're all taught the chant at traditions night during Hawk Week. The chant is simple.

rapid rate.
Those who partake in the "whoo"
are not intentionally disrespecting
the chant in any way, but just assume that "whoooing"
is the correct thing to do after hearing it done that way for as long as they've been on campus.
Growing up as a diehard KU fan, however, I can tell you that, having heard both versions,
there is nothing like the spine tingling and breath taking sound of the chant before the "whoo" existed. When you add in the awful "whoo", the Rock Chalk chant is transformed into more of a cheer. Why would we want to transform one of our greatest and longest standing traditions into simply another cheer which every other college has? The chant stands is a firm contrast to the cheesy and lackluster cheers of other colleges. We need to regain a firm hold on our tradition and restore the chant to its true and wonderful form.
After searching far and wide, I have yet to find anyone strongly attached to the "whoo." There are those who are indifferent and don't mind it either way, but for the most part, most people have been anti "whoo."
Nobody knows for sure when this atrocious trend began, but it's high time we put an end to it. Each and every Jayhawk has the responsibility to take back our chant, and all of us can help. Let's return the chant to its true form, and continue to haunt opponents for many years to come. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, and whatever you do, please, please don't "whoo."

Opinions make the world more exciting
This semester, I have the task of putting together an opinion.
This semester, I have the task of putting together an opinion page for the Kansan. Besides finding writers, I found myself questioning what makes an "opinion" page. Of course, the title may seem self-explanatory, but when it comes down to it the idea of an "opinion" is slightly harder to define. It's not an argument or angry rant. It's not an intellectual treatise nor is it a research paper or news story. It just an opinion, but then again an opinion depends on so many other factors besides plain facts.
As a classics major, I remember the famous quotation found at the Oracle of Delphi: "TNΩΘI ΣEAYTON" in English "Know thyself." And while I am interpreting it in a grossly different way than the Greeks intended, I would like to add that we should know not only our own thoughts, ideas and opinions but also those of others.
Because to "know thyself" requires knowing what came before you, what currently surrounds you and what may come after you. Knowing ourselves is a collective effort because not a single person can survive without the assistance of others. Simply put, human beings are social animals, and our day and age proves best that social animals seek socialization.
Besides that, not one single idea is original in itself. Every idea comes from another idea or inspiration. So, although we are unique beings from each other, we thrive off each other.
I know that many of you get upset when you see a column run that contradicts your beliefs or political views. As human beings we have a natural tendency to be defensive of our beliefs and ideas. Occasionally, we sit here and think,

Kansas royalty makes appearance at game

Miss Kansas USA Gentry Miller, left, and Miss Kansas Teen USA Katie Taylor, right, stopped by the men's basketball game on Saturday. The two met with fans and talked about pageant life.
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
The crowd at Allen Fieldhouse got the royal treatment Saturday as the reigning Miss Kansas USA, Gentry Linn Miller, a 2010 University of Kansas graduate, and the Miss Kansas Teen USA, Katie Taylor, a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, paid a visit. The two stopped by to watch the men's basketball game, greet fans and discuss life as pageant participants.
How do you prepare for a pageant?
Gentry Linn Miller: I love the limelight and being on stage, so that part for me isn't stressful. But definitely the preparation up until the show is probably the hardest part.
Katie Taylor: I started working out six months prior and just kept working out and getting stricter and stricter with what I ate.
It seems like pageants get a bad reputation for being superficial. Do
you think that is deserved?
GM: Obviously, I see where it gets that bad rap. And sometimes, even people who are up there answering the questions may not give quite the right answer. It's a nerve-wracking process. But it needs to be looked into. It's more than just the looks and wearing the swimsuit. There are so many intelligent young women who do so much for their community and the state that they represent. They need to portray it more in that light.
KT; It's not what is on the outside that counts as much as what you actually put into it and what you're going to do with the crown. Once you get the crown, you're not going to be like 'Oh, look; I won.' You have to actually go out there, be involved in your community and fight for the things that you were doing before. I'm with the Susan G. Komen Foundation because my mom had breast cancer, and I'm continuing with that and trying to make my voice stronger.
How do you manage to balance
school with pageants?
KT: Its definitely a challenge. I have to keep up with all of my hard classes that I took this year. I want to go into pre-med or business, so I have to keep up with my grades. I have all of these volunteer events. But I get to go to all the games and still have a normal teenage life, just with a little twist.
How was your KU experience?
GM: I loved the University of Kansas. I was a sorority girl. I went to the business school. It was a dream come true. I wouldn't trade it for the world, and I wouldn't go to another school if somebody paid me to.
KT: I'm going to KU next year, so maybe I'll be following in Grynn's footsteps. I grew up being a Jayhawk, hating K-State. I looked at other options, but overall, out of all the college visits I've done, KU is just my atmosphere. You have to have the feeling of "Ah, I want to be here."

Huntsman exits race as candidates worry about split vote
Republican presidential candidate, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, accompanied by his wife Mary Kaye Huntsman, announces he is ending his campaign, Monday, Jan. 16, 2012, in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A splintered conservative vote in South Carolina could pave the way for Mitt Romney to win this week's pivotal primary — a contest due to have one fewer candidate after the withdrawal of moderate Jon Huntsman.
Huntsman, a former governor of Utah, will withdraw from the race Monday, campaign manager Matt David told The Associated Press on Sunday night. Huntsman will endorse Romney, aides said.
Before news of Huntsman's decision broke, Romney's other rivals wrestled with the likelihood that they'll split the vote of South Carolina's social conservatives.
"I think the only way that a Massachusetts moderate can get through South Carolina is if the vote is split," said Newt Gingrich, portraying himself as the lone conservative with a "realistic chance" of beating Romney in the first-in-the-South contest.
Polls show Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who struggled to a fourth-place finish in South Carolina during his 2008 White House run, with a lead heading into Saturday's vote. The state has a large population of evangelicals and other conservative Christians, and concerns arose four years ago about his Mormon faith.
But Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry all said Romney, after victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, continued to benefit from the fractured GOP field and the failure of social conservatives to fully coalesce around a single alternative.
Santorum said South Carolina
is "not going to be the final issue" and spoke of the "need to get this eventually down to a conservative alternative" to Romney. "When we get it down to a two-person race, we have an excellent opportunity to win this race," said the former Pennsylvania senator, who won the endorsement of an influential group of social conservatives and evangelical leaders Saturday in Texas.
Perry, the Texas governor, said it was "our intention" to compete in the next contest, Florida's Jan. 31 primary, even if he finished last in South Carolina.
Gingrich said he would "reassess" his candidacy if he lost in South Carolina and acknowledged that a Romney victory would mean "an enormous advantage going forward."
The former House speaker appealed for the support of "every conservative who wants to have a conservative nominee."
"I hope every conservative will reach the conclusion that to vote for anybody but Gingrich is, in fact, to help Romney win the nomination," he said.
The state's senior senator, Republican Lindsey Graham, started looking beyond Saturday's primary, saying, "If for some reason he's not derailed here and Mitt Romney wins South Carolina ... I think it should be over." He added, "I'd hope the party would rally around him if he did in fact win South Carolina."
To Rep. Tim Scott, R.S.C., the equation is simple: "If Romney wins South Carolina, I think the game's over. This is the last stand for many candidates."
He noted that three candidates are pursuing the evangelical vote
"very strongly, and without any question that works to the Romney campaign's benefit. It's hard to find a single candidate that rallies all of the Christian voters in South Carolina, and therefore that splintered approach will probably have a major impact" in the primary.
Huntsman campaign officials said the candidate will withdraw from the race and endorse Romney at an event in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The former Utah governor placed third in last week's New Hampshire primary despite devoting most of his campaign resources to the state. He had already acknowledged that expectations for him in South Carolina's primary this week will be "very low."
Word of the Huntsman withdrawal came on the same day The State, South Carolina's largest newspaper, endorsed him for president.
Romney took a rare day off from campaigning while his opponents focused on the South Carolina coast.
Ron Paul returned to the state Sunday after spending three days at home and off the trail. The Texas congressman, whose libertarian message propelled him into second place behind Romney in New Hampshire, attended a rally in Myrtle Beach where he picked up the endorsement of a state senator popular with tea party members.
At the Cathedral of Praise in North Charleston, Gingrich was cheered by church members as he criticized activist judges who he said had made "anti-American" rulings to keep God out of schools. Santorum spoke at the same church Saturday.
At a prayer breakfast in Myrtle Beach, Perry appealed to religious
conservatives to back his candidacy.
wno will see the job of president as that of faithful servant to the American people, and the God who created us?" Perry said. "I hope each of you will peer into your heart and look for that individual with the record and the values that represent your heart."
The candidates faced a packed week of campaign events and nationally televised debates Monday and Thursday. No Republican has won the party's presidential nomination without carrying South Carolina.
Santorum battled Romney to a
virtual tie in Iowa before falling to fifth place in New Hampshire. Gingrich and Perry fared poorly in both states.
Santorum refused to suggest anyone should drop out of the race as a way to consolidate conservative support behind an anti-Romney candidate. But he said Republican would have a hard time beating President Barack Obama in November if Romney were the nominee. Santorum cited Romney's push for mandatory insurance coverage in Massachusetts.
All three have the backing of well-financed independent groups known as super political action committees that can help keep their candidacies afloat.
Gingrich and Perry used television interviews to focus on Romney's former leadership of the Bain Capital venture capital firm. Both defended raising questions about Bain's business practices, saying Romney's tenure would come under relentless assault from Democrats in the general election.
Gingrich, Graham and Scott appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press," while Santorum spoke on "Fox News Sunday" and Perry was interviewed on CNN's "State of the Union."
NATIONAL CRIME
Suicide-murder survivor begged neighbor for help
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO, Calif. — The neighbor of the sole survivor of an apparent murder-suicide in California's Central Valley said the man pounded on his door and asked for help before the woman who appears to have stalbed him tried to drag him back outside.
Authorities Monday still had not released the names of the man and woman and two children who were killed Sunday morning in a Fresno apartment complex. The coroner's office said the names would be released by police later in the day.
Jesus Gonzalez told KFSN-TV, an ABC affiliate in Fresno, that shortly before 7 a.m. on Sunday he heard gunshots and then a pounding on his door. He opened the door to find his neighbor bleeding profusely.
"I opened the door and he fell in front of me, and I take him and I pull him inside," Gonzalez said. He said that before he could drag the man inside, the woman believed to be the main suspect tried to pull him back outside again.
When police arrived at the Silver Lakes Apartments shortly thereafter, officers found the man outside with a stab wound. He told police that his wife, who was actually his live-in girlfriend, was inside causing a disturbance, Fresno police. lt. Mark Salazar said.
Gonzalez said he shouted at her,
"Hey, what happened, what happened?" and she ran off.
Before officers entered the apartment, they heard a gunshot and hurried inside.
They found four people killed inside, including a woman believed to be in her 20s with a
self-inflicted gunshot wound and a man in his 20s or 30s dead of a gunshot wound. Also inside were the bodies of an 18-month-old and a 3-year-old child, believed to be the woman's children.
The stabbing victim was taken to a hospital and was in critical condition. Hospital officials on Monday said they could not release any details about the victim until the police had identified him.
The family lived in the back of the gated apartment complex, which has neat lawns, trees and a children's playground.
Neighbors said there was no indication of violence between the couple before Sunday's shootings.
"They would come out with the baby carriage, and the man was taking care of his children," neighbor Eric Gonzalez said.

Teenage boy kills sister and turns himself in to police
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A 15-year-old described by a neighbor as a "nice young boy" showed up at a sheriff's department in rural Arkansas and told investigators he had shot and killed his 16-year-old sister in his family's home.
Authorities found the girl's body in a bedroom of the house near Ozark while the teens' parents were out grocery shopping, Franklin County Sheriff Anthony Boen said Monday.
Boen said he didn't believe the girl's death was accidental, although her brother appeared remorseful and had tears in his eyes when he turned himself in. Authorities are treating the death as a homicide.
"He just said that he had just shot and killed his sister," Boen said. "He didn't give a motive."
The teens' names have not been released. The boy was in custody in nearby Sebastian County because Franklin County isn't set up to house juveniles, Boen said. He's expected to appear before a judge Tuesday, although no charges have been filed yet.
The teen likely killed his sister sometime after 8 a.m. Sunday, when his parents left to go grocery shopping in Fort Smith, about 40 miles away, Boen said. The boy turned himself in at the sheriff's department about an hour and a half later.
Deputies had never been called to the home and there weren't any reports of trouble with the teens, Boen said.
A neighbor described the family as "nice and quiet" and the boy as a "nice young boy." Donna Sheppard, who lives next to the family's home, said her grandson
knew the boy from school.
"It's the most shocking thing I could have ever imagined," she said.
Sheppard said she didn't hear any gunshots before she left. for Sunday school a little after 9 a.m., and learned about the shooting when she came home from church that afternoon.
The girl's body has been sent to the state crime lab, and preliminary autopsy results are expected sometime this week.
Investigators confiscated multiple guns from the family's home and vehicle and were trying to determine which weapon had been used in the shooting.
"Both the dad and the son were avid hunters." Boen said.
The Arkansas State Police are investigating the case, but spokesman Bill Sadler declined to talk about it.

Brownback outlines reformations in speech
ADAM STRUNK
astrunk@kansan.com
Big changes are coming to Kansas. At least that's what Gov. Brownback had to say in his State of the State address Wednesday night.
Gov. Brownback outlined the elimination of income tax, reformation of the education funding formula and Medicaid reform in a 30-minute speech he made to the Kansas legislature.
"We're a state in transition from a high tax state to a low tax state," he said. "This state in transition will look less for what Washington can do for Kansas and more for what we can do for ourselves."
Flanked by Senate President Steven Morris, right, R-Hugeton, and House Speaker Michael O'Neal, R-Hutchinson, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback addresses the legislature during the annual State of the State address at the Statehouse in Topeka Wednesday.
What Kansans can do for themselves, Brownback asserted during his speech, is to slowly phase out the state income tax in order to draw more businesses to Kansas.
TAXES
Brownback proposed a 24 percent income tax cut for those making $30,000 or more per year, cutting their tax rate down to 4.9 percent. Under his plan, single Kansas residents making $15,000 or less would pay 3 percent in income taxes, a 14 percent income tax cut. He added that small businesses would, for the most part, pay no income tax.
Along with income tax cuts, Brownback said he would eliminate most income tax exemptions, making "fairer, flatter" tax system. This elimination would include income tax credits for those below the poverty level, as well as tax exemptions for charitable donations and college savings plans.
"Taxes are one area that we do control," he said. "When it comes
to taxes, we have some of the highest in the region."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Kansans pay more taxes per capita than citizens in Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Kansas ranked thirtieth nationally in taxes paid per capita.
University economics professor Ronald Caldwell said lowering income taxes could be a positive for the Kansas economy.
"Do I think it would improve things? Yes, I think you would draw in more businesses and a higher skill work force," he said. "I know I looked at it when I came here."
S. BERTO
Brownback's speech did not stop at lowering income taxes. The governor called on state legislature to dedicate this year's $100 million budget surplus to help lower income taxes. He also asked them to dedicate future surpluses, such as the $465 million surplus of his proposed 2013 budget, to eliminating income taxes in the future. Caldwell was much more skeptical about these plans.
"It's volatile right now to make permanent tax cuts on the basis of a one year change," he said.
Caldwell also didn't believe that eliminating the income tax and tax exemptions would draw enough businesses to increase property value revenue and offset the loss of funding that comes with eliminating the income tax.
To offset the cost of some of the proposed income tax cuts, Brownback's tax plan calls to make the temporary sales tax set to expire in July permanent, keeping state sales tax at 6.3 percent.
"Not to be cynical, but I think the point is to find a way to reduce spending," he said. "You decrease revenue, you decrease spending."
Caldwell said that a higher sales tax could shift the tax burden more to the working class.
"If you are raising sales tax to make up for things, yes, you are shifting things around," he said. He added the alternative of lowering spending to make up for the shortfall would also negatively affect those of lower income who receive many of the services the state provides.
While Brownback's tax plan would be ambitious, KU political science professor Burdett Loomis believes he would get some form of an income tax decrease passed.
"It is going to be very hard to resist the income tax cuts," he said. "A lot of moderate republicans support it. I don't think this is a defining issue."
EDUCATION
Brownback may face more contention with education. Some believe that state surplus money should not be spent on tax relief after the school funding cuts over the last decade.
"Before new corporate tax breaks are signed into law, excess state revenue should be used to restore funding to our schools first," Rep. Paul Davis said in the Democratic response to the Governor's speech.
Brownback continued to champion his proposed reworking of the school finance formula in the education portion of his speech. The new formula would preserve this year's level of state funding per student, but the plan would allow "unlimited local control of property taxes for the education process."
"It is past time to get education dollars out of the courtroom and into the classroom," he said.
The plan would also take 20 mills out each school district's mill levy and put the money — $20 for every $1,000 of appraised property value - into a fund to be redistributed to school districts with lower property tax evaluations per student. Brownback said that this would act as a mechanism to ensure that districts with lower property values do not fall behind those with much higher property values.
Loomis thought that the new system might be a hard sell.
"You are going to see lots of cities and school boards really wrigling here," he said. "They know if income taxes are cut, they are going to have to continue to raise

Any references to the Governor's social agenda were missing from the speech. Loomis said that the Governor might not have to support a social conservative agenda this session because a mostly conservative Kansas house of representatives would champion the agenda, which could include abortion restrictions and immigration laws, for him.
Brownback's speech ended on an optimistic note. "Together we will succeed for we must."

CHANGES TO LAWRENCE AREA INCLUDED IN PROPOSED BUDGET
If Gov. Brownback's proposed budget passes, it would increase state funding for the University of Kansas by $3.25 million or 2 percent. The University will now receive $141,161,000 from the state.
Making up the lion's share of the state funding increase is a $3 million Elite Professors initiative aimed at attracting high quality professors to the University.
Total funding for the University will likely decrease by 1.8 percent from
approximately $671 million to $659 million as outlined in the budget.
Other notable parts of Brownback's proposed budget for the Lawrence area include the restoration of state funding to the Lawrence SRS office as well as the partial restoration of the Kansas Arts Commission.
In the proposed budget, Brownback set aside $315,182 to be paid to the five SRS offices, including the Lawrence office, that the state had scheduled to close but continued "to operate under agreements with local governments and a private lessor."
The budget also proposes the combination of the previously abolished Kansas Arts Commission with the Kansas Film Commission to create Kansas Creative Industries Commission under the department of commerce.
The commission would receive $200,000 of funding. This funding how- ever is far from the nearly $700,000 the KAC received before Brownback decided to eliminate state funding for the commission last year.

Catholic church's internal legal system resolves disputes
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Parents upset by the admission policy at a parochial school. Clergy and parishioners at odds over use of their building. A priest resisting a transfer to another parish.
It was once assumed that disagreements like these in the Roman Catholic Church would end one way: with the highest-ranking cleric getting the last word.
In one example cited by veteran canon lawyers, parishioners wanted to bar musical performances in their church that weren't liturgical. Their priest had been renting space to a local band. In another case, a nun filed a petition after a religious superior disclosed the nun's medical information to others — a potential violation of privacy. Regarding bishops' often contentious decisions to close parishes, the liberal reform group FutureChurch posts a guide on its website called "Canonical Appeals for Dummies" on seeking Vatican intervention to stay open.
In recent years, clergy and lay people in the United States have increasingly turned to the church's internal legal system to challenge a bishop's or pastor's decision about even the workaday issues in Catholic life, according to canon lawyers in academia, dioceses and in private practice. Sometimes, the challengers even win.
But that outcome is no longer a given as Catholics, emboldened following the clergy abuse scandals that erupted a decade ago this month, have sought another avenue of redress.
The reasons for the uptick are complex and reach back decades, involving changes in the church and broader society. Canon lawyers say the American concern for individual freedoms likely has played a role. So has the explosion of information on the Internet. But the change is also an unexpected consequence of the clergy molestation crisis, with
the scandal exerting an influence far beyond cases that directly involve abusers.
"The focus on canon law and penal procedures in the case of sexual misconduct has made people aware that the church has a law system, it can work and people can take advantage of it," said Michael Ritty, founder of Canon Law Professionals, a private practice in Feura Bush, N.Y. "For so long, especially in the United States, many of the lay people did not speak up and did not know how to speak up, and many people in the hierarchy did not know how to accept things when people did speak up. I think that is changing."
No one knows the exact number of formal petitions before tribunals or agencies at the Vatican, or before church officials in the U.S. or in any country. The cases are guarded by pontifical secrecy, which bars advocates, judges and other parties from revealing details of the proceedings.
Still, U.S. canon lawyers say they have seen more widespread use of church law to resolve disputes.
Edward Peters,
and professor
at Sacred Heart
Major Seminary
in Detroit, said
the increase in
canonical litigation
is "indisputable."
The Canon Law Society of America, a professional group for church lawyers, held a workshop
Edward Peters, a canon lawyer
"Most of us, when we were training, were preparing for marriage tribunals, marriage annulments," said Monsignor Patrick Lagges of Chicago, a canon lawyer for three decades who helped lead the canon law society workshop last year. "Now there's such a broad range of things. It's a much broader field."
Until recently, the only canon law most American Catholics knew related to annulments, church declarations that a marriage was never valid. (For years, the majority of annulment petitions to the Vatican have come from the United States.) The first complete code of canon law, published in 1917, was also the first to be translated from the Latin into English. Even then, the system remained obscure, considered the province of an educated clergy-elite who were fluent in Latin and could quote directly from centuries-old papal decrees.

The Second Vatican Council, the 1960s meetings that ushered in modernizing reforms, aimed to make canon law more accessible. A revised legal code was eventually
on the trend called "Hierarchical Recourse: Cant We All Just Get Along?" Ritty founded his private practice in 2000 to keep active after he retired and now employs three other canon lawyers. Abuse cases are a significant part of his work, along with marriage annulments, but Ritty also has many cases relating to everyday church issues, such

issued in 1983 by Pope John Paul II that placed new emphasis on the rights and obligations of all Catholics, lay and clergy. "The Christian faithful can legitimately vindicate and defend the rights which they possess in the
Church in the competent ecclesiastical forum according to the norm of law" canon 221:1 says.
Yet, no flurry of canonical petitions followed.
A few prominent cases played out in public. The ex-wife of former Massachusetts Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II, son of Robert F. Kennedy, wrote a book about her
Then, 10 years ago, a crisis unfolded that became the worst in U.S. church history.
The Boston Globe persuaded a Massachusetts judge to unseal documents that showed the Archdiocese of Boston kept clergy who had molested children in parishes without warning parents or police. The outrage that the news reports generated spread nationwide.

appeal to reverse the church decision to annul their marriage of a dozen years. The Vatican took about a decade to decide the case, but ruled in her favor. In the 1990s, some parishioners appealed Cardinal Joseph Bernardin's decision to close their Chicago church. They succeeded in a phase of the appeal, but the building was ultimately shut down. Still, the numbers of cases remained small.
Soon, every American bishop was pressured to disclose diocesan records on abusive clergy. In June, bealequered church leaders gathered in Dallas, trailed by more than 750 reporters, to adopt a new child protection policy and discipline plan for guilty priests.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Suddenly, canon law was frontpage news.
In many cases, the church's internal legal system was the only recourse for church officials who wanted to remove clergy from public ministry or the priesthood. Most victims came forward decades after they had been molested, long after the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution in civil court had passed. So over several months, American bishops began a closely watched negotiation with Vatican officials over how they could change church law to streamline the removal of guilty priests. Canonical due process rights for clergy emerged as a key issue. In a public meeting that
Bishops spent hundreds of millions of dollars on child protection programs and more on settlements with victims. But the damage was done. Trust in the bishops' judgment plummeted. So, when bishops in some dioceses announced the next round of parish closures, part of a consolidation that started years ago, angry parishioners didn't only protest and pray. They also hired canon lawyers.
Rev. Patrick Lagges looks over canon law books written in Latin in Chicago. Lagges, a canon lawyer for three decades in the Catholic Church, helped lead the canon law society workshop last year. It was once assumed that disagreements between Roman Catholic clergy and lay people would end one way: with the highest-ranking cleric getting the last word. That outcome is no longer a given.
"We just Googled it and got some information about who was available," said Patricia Schulte-Singleton, a 52-year-old parishioner who has helped coordinate resistance to church closures, including her own St. Patrick Catholic Church, throughout the Diocese of Cleveland. They hired a nun who was a canonist in Rhode Island.

WOMEN'S BORDER WAR
Davis, Sutherland shine in what could be the last women's matchup in Columbia, Mo. PAGE 7B
Taylor escapes bad rep
Monday night's 92-74 win over Baylor made that clear.
1
Tyshawn Taylor, the host of the criticism bug that bit Kansas early in the season, is a prime example of how the team's early season struggles have made Kansas far tougher than anyone could have imagined nearly one month ago after the Davidson loss.
All of those adjectives come from fans and the media alike and could appropriately describe the majority of the lajahays play early in the season. Keep in mind the aforementioned team launched into conference play with a 10-3 record. Its only losses came from Kentucky, Duke and Davidson.
While the losses and record may suggest that the adjectives did not justly fit this Kansas team, those colorful words have certainly molded it.
Infected. Cursed. Sloppy. Inexperienced. Unlucky.
With just over four minutes left in the first half, it appeared that Baylor had withstood the blow of the boisterous Allen Fieldhouse crowd. The Bears held a three-point lead. Then Taylor's name dominated the play-by-play sheet.
Layup. Steal. Turnover. Foul. Four in a row, all Taylor. Not all had a positive effect, but it was the first ripple in the wave that blew Baylor out of the water.

Three point shot from Taylor. Good. Kansas takes a two-point lead. Taylor hits a two on the following possession. Then a free throw, and later, another three that falls at the buzzer.

The Jayhawk's play has been elevated by their early season frustrations. And with a tough list of Big 12 teams waiting to take their shot at the title holder for seven long years, more frustrations will surely come.

And it wasn't just Taylor who accomplished the feat with the Big Monday atmosphere not so quietly buzzing about.
It's the kind of grit Kansas lacked at the beginning of the season. It's the grit it gained shooting 33 percent in the first half against Southern California, still taking a 16-point victory back to Lawrence.
Tyshawn Taylor, Elijah Johnson and Thomas Robinson all agreed on describing Jeff Withey as a "man" and a catalyst following the game. Travis Releford has become a viable and aggressive scoring threat since Big 12 play began.
Kansas had five players in double figures against Baylor. Against Kentucky, Kansas only had two players accomplish the feat. Three against Georgetown. Three against UCLA. And three against Davidson.
It's the grit it gained by coming back from a 12-point deficit in the second half at home to Iowa State.
"I think the last game helped us with learning how to fight back a little bit," Taylor said.

BEAR-LY HANGING ON
TAKING DOWN NO.3
Offensive and defensive dominance lead to a convincing Kansas victory
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
The hottest offense in the nation paraded into Lawrence on Monday fresh off its most recent slaughter.
No. 3 Baylor, undefeated and flush with all the talent that an NBA scout could conjure, routed Oklahoma State for 106 points on Saturday. The Bears were merciless, just as network know-it-alls preached they would be.
Then No.7 Kansas (15-3, 5-0) squelched them on both sides of the floor.
A layered, sturdy defense and an offense unafraid of attacking Baylor's lengthy zone led to the 92-74 victory on Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I think the nation saw how tough they are," Baylor coach Scott Drew said.
The Jayhawks were out to prove it, too.
Just more than three minutes into the game, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor swiftly dribbled down the right side of the floor and lobbed a pass behind junior
forward Thomas Robinson's head. The national player of the year candidate leaped into the air, slung his right hand backward to
catch the ball, and pounded the lob through the hoop with one hand, ensuring that Allen Fieldhouse would never hush.
"He pressed the up button," said Taylor, who scored 28 points for the second consecutive game.
Robinson's increased patience with the ball provided him with cleaner shots and fewer mistakes. He finished with 27 efficient points and consistently freed space for his teammates in both fast break and half-court sets.
"I think the nation saw how tough they are."
SCOTT DREW
Baylor coach
When the Bears attacked with forwards Perry Jones III, Quincy Miller and Quincy Acy, Robinson acted as the interior muscle to hassle shot attempts and swallow all rebounds.
"He's become more a guy that understands the game and how he can take advantage of his skill set and his body," coach Bill Self said.
Robinson's dunk underlined how the game would continue. It was the Jayhawks, not the Bears,
who would dictate on both ends.
"If you make it past that stage," junior guard Elijah Johnson said, "you've still got to go over a seven footer who's athletic and can do just about anything."
Johnson was referring to junior center Jeff Withey, who played aggressively from the opening tipoff and never quit bothering the Bears with his long, shot altering arms.

After Withey clogged the opposition, Taylor initiated the

"I'm not saying that people are sleeping on us," Taylor said. "But people didn't re-

Weis taking strides to transform football team
ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Kansas football coach Charlie Weis not only wants to turn around the on-field product of a team that has only won five games over the past two seasons, but he also wants to change the culture so it can sustain long-term success.
Weis made his first change by adding discipline to the team. He dismissed six players over break, including running back Darrian Miller and safety Keeston Terry, who were both major contributors on last year's team.
"It's a whole combination of things," Weis said. "But there's a right way and a wrong way of doing business. You can't make decisions, especially coming into a program, based on how good they are. You have to make decisions based on them doing the right thing because if you don't, you're a hypocrite."
Weis' emphasis on discipline extends to all members of the team. He announced that he had dismissed a number of walkons due to their poor academic performance.
"I just think that if it were me paying for my kids education and he weren't doing what he was supposed to be doing, the last thing
hed be doing would be an extracurricular that would take away from his time academically"
Weis became a national name
Weis
as the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots. While he was there, the Patriots went on to win three Super Bowl titles.
He left New England in 2005 to take over as the head coach at his alma mater, Notre Dame. Although initially successful, the Irish struggled in Weis' final three seasons and he was subsequently fired.
Weis is trying to spin his experience at Notre Dame into a positive. By learning from his past mistakes, he wants to do things differently in his second chance as head coach. One thing he learned was the importance of a strong defensive coordinator. Weis believes he found the right man for the job when he hired former Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo.
"One of the things I did wrong last time was try to do everything myself, trying to wear every hat. That didn't work out so well. This case right here, I'm trying to pass
out some responsibilities. That doesn't mean I won't be the one making the decision on fourth and one, because I will be, but I want somebody that I can trust as the leader of the defense, and I couldn't have picked anyone better."
Bringing in strong recruiting classes is also a big step in the right direction. Weis succeeded in recruiting at Notre Dame by bringing in three consecutive Rivals. com top 10 recruiting classes.
Weis started behind in recruiting at the University, and his first class is currently rated last in the Big 12 by Rivals.com. But he is making waves after three highly touted players, quarterbacks Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps, and receiver Justin McCay, chose to transfer to Kansas.
All three said Weis was a big influence in their decisions to transfer to the University.
"Just the honesty that you get from him on a daily basis was huge in my eyes," senior quarterback Dayne Crist said. "The players quickly find out that he is going to be honest with you every day, whether it's something you want to hear or not. That is something I completely respect and it is the greatest feature I find with him."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who was the first player drafted in the NBA right after high school?
A: Reggie Harding in 1962 from Detroit Eastern High School
—NBA.com
THE MORNING BREW 'One-and-done' trend hurts college sports
The term "one-and-done" is familiar in the college basketball world. The University of Kentucky is known for them every year. The University of Kansas had Josh Selby and Xavier Henry, two one-and-done athletes in the history of the program. In 2005, the National Basketball Association passed a collective bargaining agreement stating that a player cannot be drafted in the NBA until one year of college.
Though some see this as helpful to the NBA, the consequences hurt the colleges, athletes and fans. The programs are hurt through suspensions and violations. The athletes have to attend college while dreaming about their first paycheck and don't care for school. The NBA likes this rule, but here are some solutions to the problem.

THREE AND OUT
This situation is almost too good to be true for athletes. The concept would benefit everybody:the NBA,the colleges
and the student athletes.
College basketball is a place to develop athletes to play in the NBA. Three years in the college ranks would give players the necessary time to develop and expand their potential to become elite players at the next level. Players would have the size and strength while also having the maturity that is attractive to NBA franchises.
Colleges and coaches wouldn't worry about replacing star players every year. The University of Florida won back-to-back national titles in 2006 and 2007 because three players stayed to win championships while improving their draft stock. Florida's loakim Noah and Al Horford were both top
10 selections. The University of Kansas won the 2008 title with a team loaded with juniors and seniors. The University of North Carolina won the 2009 title centered around the four year player, Tyler Hansbrough.
The NBA says some college is better than none, but if that's the case then make the players stay for three years before being eligible. Three years is better than one.
STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL
LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett and Dwight Howard all have this in common - superstars in the NBA who were drafted straight out of high school. Yes, there are arguments claiming that players straight out of high school would fail based on lack of size, but just think of the multiple benefits.
Major League Baseball has an answer to the solution for the lack of size; minor league teams. If the NBA is concerned about young athletes out of high school, why not experiment
with making those players play in the NBA development league? Place those players in the D-league for a certain amount of games or years and see how they do.
High school players might bring issues before setting foot on campus. If Derrick Rose, ex-player for the University of Memphis, went straight to the NBA, Memphis' 2007-2008 season wouldn't be vacated because of Rose's false SAT score. The incident might still be reported, but it would reflect badly on Rose and not the prominent college basketball program.
Whether the player wants to step foot on a campus or go straight for the money, the freedom would still be there for those star athletes. However, with the one-and-done rule still in place, athletics will continue to hurt colleges and those within the universities.

Sutherland breaks records in final matchup

ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland puts the ball up to the basket during Sunday afternoon's game against Missouri at the Mizzou Arena where Kansas won 72-63 and Sutherland had a total of 24 points.
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Senior forward Aishah Sutherland has been working this season on consistency. In a slow first half for the rest of the Jayhawks, Sutherland stepped out and hit a series of jump shots to lead the Jayhawks with 12 points. She continued in the second half, scoring another 12 to match her career-high with 24 points.
"How good was she?" coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "She's gonna want to send that one to an agent, I can tell you that right now."
Sutherland led the Jayhawks out of Columbia, Mo. with a 72-63 win, the last before the Tigers leave for the SEC.
In regards to consistency, she cc.aldn't have been much better, hitting nine of 11 shots from the field and all six free throws. The defense collapsed on junior forward Carolyn Davis, which provided Sutherland with clean looks outside.
"I have always been working on those and since they doubled in on Carolyn, that gave me an opportunity to knock them down," Sutherland said.
Sutherland passed her season-high 21 points in the second half.
and recorded her second best shooting percentage of the year. She rounded out her afternoon with nine rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal. Her two blocks put her second in program history with 127 blocks.
"From an effort standpoint, her numbers her senior year are off the chart." Henrickson said.
Sutherland has scored in double figures in 14 of the team's 16 games so far.
"She was awesome today and that's what we like to see from her," junior guard Angel Goodrich said. "She has so much potential and when she breaks out like that, we need her. That's what we need from her every game."
Goodrich dished six assists in the game and became the fifth player in franchise history to have 400 assists. She was also the fastest to do so with 405 in 58 games.
In the first half, Missouri built up a seven point lead, but Kansas caught up with a 9-0 run before the break. Junior guard Monica Engelman hit a jump shot at the top of the key to give Kansas a two point lead.
"Bonnie told us we needed to make our offense from our defense, so that's where we started getting on
our run, when we started getting stops and then that generated our offense," Engelman said.
In the second half, Kansas built the lead to 13 points as it pulled away behind Sutherland and Davis, who combined for 48 of the team's 72 points.
"Those are two nice athletes and players," Missouri coach Robin Pingeton said. "They have a nice touch and they almost make it look effortless at times."
The Jayhawks capitalized off Missouri mistakes, scoring 17 points off the Tigers' 18 turnovers.
They held Missouri forward Christine Flores to only six points off three of seven shooting from outside the 3-point line. Flores has been averaging 20 points this season so far. The Kansas forwards focused on taking her off her traditional ball-screen game.
With the focus on Flores, BreAnna Brock took the lead for Missouri and finished with 26 points.
Kansas will travel to Stillwater, Okla. to take on Oklahoma State on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Kansas fans have come to expect monster outings like Robinson's, but Taylor's? He used to be the guy that everyone ragged on for carelessness and stupidity. After back-to-back games with 28 points, Taylor has put the hate to rest. He still a mystery, but he's also established himself as arguably the biggest reason for Kansas' recent surge in conference play. When Taylor struggles, so does his team. When he drops 28, Kansas can beat up on Baylor.
PETER BAKUBA
Taylor
GAME TO FORGET
Justin Wesley, sophomore forward
This one's fairly unjust, because Wesley's role was to step in and give the starters a breather, not take the game over and start chucking 20-footers. He's in this spot because every starter played so well, and he looked mostly overmatched against Baylor's length and speed. Those are supposed to be his two calling cards, and in his nine minutes played, he recorded just one stat: a personal foul.

KEY STATS
Kansas out-rebounded Baylor by this margin; an impressive number, considering the length and athleticism of Baylor's frontcourt.
39-24
Kansas shot this percentage from the field in the second half. It's a testament to Seif's preferred offensive style of working the ball into the paint and seeing what happens.
66.7%
Taylor scored this many points for the second straight game. When the Jayhawks score as well as they have been, their defense makes them a tough team to beat.
28
Kansas has reached this record to start the Big 12 sched ule for the fourth time in Bill Self's tenure.

Rebounding crucial to Baylor's defeat
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
It's hard to look at this year'saylor basketball team and not thinkf just one word. Big. That's whathe bears are known for this seasonand that's what got them to a 17-0cord and a No. 3 ranking headingto a big Monday showdown insideAllen Fieldhouse. The starting lineup,onsisting of three players listed at-foot 7 or taller, creates one of theoughest match ups in the nation. OnMonday night, however, the Bayloront line was nothing more thana minor speed bump for the Kansasbigmen who had their way in the paintearly the whole game in the 92-7Kansas victory, led by junior forward
Thomas Robinson.
"He played like an All-American, he played like he was supposed to play," Baylor sophomore forward Perry Jones III said. "He's a tough dude who just delivered for his team."
Kansas out-rebounded the Bears 39-24.
"We've rebounded really well some games and we've stunk some games," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Iowa State beats us by eight in our building and then we do that tonight, so we've got to be more consistent there."
Robinson had 27 points and 14 rebounds while the aforementioned Jones III, a 6-foot-1 Big 12 Player of the Year candidate and future NBA first round pick, grabbed just five rebounds. But Robinson wasn't
the only Jayhawk to outperform the Baylor star. Junior center Jeff Withey recorded another doubledouble which included nine offensive rebounds.
He also had three blocks.
"That's a lot," senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "Not counting how many he changed or altered. He's playing really well."
Robinson called Withey the best shot-blocker in the country and Self said he finally played both halves tonight, which isn't something he believes Withey has done as of late.
"When we've got Jeff going, it really gets the rest of us going," junior guard Elijah Johnson said. "A lot of people don't know that but Jeff is a key player for our team. When he's on track at
the beginning it's going to be a long night for some people, guards and bigs."
Thanks in part to those offensive rebounds by Withey and a pair of Robinson dunks that will be shown on highlight videos sooner rather than later, the Jayhawks outscored the Bears in the paint, 48-34. Combine that with the Jayhawk rebounding performance and the Kansas blowout was suddenly less of a surprise.
"To miss 34 shots with that good of length and everything and only give up eight offensive rebounds," Self said. "I'm probably as proud of that as anything else."

Women's team key in Missouri domination
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
The men's and women's track and field teams traveled to Columbia, Mo. on Friday to battle the Missouri Tigers in a dual meet between the rival schools. The Jayhawks survived with a victory of 191-167, despite the men's team falling to Missouri by a score of 92-85. It was the women's team that carried the victory, beating the Tigers by an impressive margin of 106-75.
Junior Andrea Geubelle had a phenomenal day inside the Hearnes Center at the University of Missouri, winning the long and triple jumps, as well as a second place finish in the 200 meter dash.
"She's a competitor and she did
what she came here to do" Coach Stanley Redwine said.
Geubelle leaped her personal record on her first long jump of the day and it is also the longest jump in the NCAA this season. For the day, she added a total 13 points to her teams score.
The women's team dominated in the field events, winning in 5 of the 6 events. Colleen O'Brien was the women's high jump winner with a jump of 5ft 7in and has already won three event titles this season. In track, Sophomore Diamond Dixon won the 600 meter race with a time that is the fastest of the NCAA season.
For the men's track events, junior Kyle Clemmons was the 600 meter winner for Kansas. Sophomore
Shawn Smith and freshman Michael Stigler also won event titles for the lavhaws on the track.
The Jayhawks return to Lawrence and will host the Jayhawk Invitational on Jan. 27.
The men's team won the 4x400 meter relay—a relay team that included Clemmons and Stigler—yet still fell short of Missouri on total points.
"Hopefully now, since we have a week off, we'll have some time to train and start fresh here in a couple weeks," Redwine said.

Sophomore starts season strong at Hawaii Invitational
CORBIN MIHELIC
cmihelic@kansan.com
Sophomore Dylan Windom may be the only Kansas tennis player to walk away pleased from the first tournament of 2012.
Windom won all three of her matches in No. 3 singles play at the Hawaii Invitational, but the Tifton, Ga. native was the only player on the team to win multiple matches in the tournament.
"It was very good of her to come back in that kind of condition and ready to play," coach Amy Hall-Holt said. "We were very excited and very pleased with her performance this weekend."
Window took down Washington State's Andjela Kankars, 6-3, 6-4, on day one. She defeated Barbara Pinterova of Hawaii on day two when Pinterova retired in the second set, 5-7, 4-0, ret. Her third singles win was against Kentucky's
Khristina Blajkevitch, 7-6 (2), 6-0,
on the final day of competition.
In the fall, Windom had much success playing doubles with Ekaterina Morozova (the duo was ranked as high as No. 33 in the nation), but singles success isn't necessarily a new thing. She finished with a
Windom
team-high 14 victories as the No. 5 singles player in 2011.
"I had a great last spring in my freshman year playing singles. So that just brought confidence into this year." Windom said.
Windon went 0-3 in No.2 doubles with sophomore partner Claire Dreyer. Dreyer was the only other Jayhawk to win a match in the Hawaii Invitational, with a victory against Elizaveta Luzina of
Washington State, 6-2, 6-2, at No.
4 singles.
"We talked with Coach, and the mental aspect of this weekend was kind of weak," Dreyer said. "We needed to be just more positive, and I think that was what definitely happened with me."
The team will now take a three-week break before playing 22 dual matches between February and April. Dual play begins Feb. 7 with a home match vs. UMKC.
"There's nowhere to go but up from here," Dreyer said. "I think that these next few weeks, we are going to hit it hard and we are really going to get serious. We have so much talent on this team and so much potential, so I think we are all excited to get going. I think we're going to have a great team."

Missouri beats A&M Monday for the first time since 2004 season
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Reserve Michael Dixon scored 18 points and helped spark a 17-0 first-half run as No. 5 Missouri beat Texas A&M 70-51 on Monday, snapping an eight-game losing streak to the Aggies.
The Tigers (17-1, 4-1 Big 12) started the game by making only five of their first 14 shots from the field against the conference's best scoring defense. But Dixon's 3-pointer with 7:22 remaining in the first half started the 17-0 run
that gave Missouri a 31-17 lead.
Elston Turner hit a free throw to end the Aggles' 6:32 scoreless drought.
Turner and Khris Middleton both had 13 points for Texas A&M (10-7, 1-4), which scored the first seven points of in the second half to get within 42-30. The Aggies got within 10 points three times, but could get no closer.
Marcus Denmon's steal and ensuing three-point play with 8:40 left started a 10-1 run for Missouri, which led 64-44 with 3:57 left in the game.
Missouri's last win over Texas A&M had been in the 2004 Big 12 tournament.
Missouri is ranked in the top five for the first time since 2003-04, and has won 62 of its last 65 home games, falling only to Kansas twice and Texas A&M. The Tigers have won each home game this season by an average of 27.6 points.
The Aggies came in allowing 57.5 points per game, holding opponents to 36.9 percent shooting. Missouri couldn't do much better, shooting 40 percent, but the Tigers held Texas A&M to 35 percent.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Aishah Sutherland, senior forward
A calm, cool and collected customer all game long. Sutherland showed off her skills from all over the floor, scoring 24 points on 9 of 11 shooting. Sutherland also finished a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line. Throughout this year Sutherland has developed into one of the best all around players in the Big 12. She also finished with 9 rebounds and two blocks to her credit.

GAME TO FORGET
Tania Jackson, sophomore forward
With only seven people receiving minutes against the Tigers it's hard to pick someone to have a game to forget, but Jackson fits the description. It's not really her fault because the domination of Davis and Sutherland, but Jackson only played six minutes and did not get shots from the floor. Jackson has also been battling several injuries over the last week so that might have contributed to her lack of playing time.

The Jayhawks (14-2, 3-1) made the most of it too, with a 72-63 victory over the Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — With Missouri's impending move to the SEC, this could very well be the last trip the Jayhawks make to Mizzou Arena.
"It kind of made the game more special because we knew we had to go out there and it was going to be a tough one," junior forward Carolyn Davis said. "We're both going to be fighting for that last win."
"It has nothing to do with it," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "This is about today, and this is about the opportunity that we've struggled here and not won on the road here.It's been a great rivalry. This has been difficult place for us to play. We wanted to come in here and win on the road and try to build a resume with road wins."
Davis' comments were telling, however the future of the rivalry won't be decided today.
Missouri (10-5, 0-4) is currently in a rebuilding mode. Even though the Tigers would have liked a victory against their rival, they have other goals in mind.
"We're trying to build a program," Missouri coach Robin Pingeton said. "We're in the
trenches. We've got a lot of growing pains. So I don't know that right now our focus is on KU as it is building our program."
Aside from all the Border Showdown chatter, the Jayhawks put together an impressive offensive performance led by Davis and senior forward Aishah Sutherland, who ended the game with 24 points apiece.
Although Davis was doubleteamed for much of the game, she found a way to fight through the Tiger defense and managed to put up quality offensive production.
The double-team also allowed Sutherland to step back and hit several shots from outside the paint-- something she's continuing to develop throughout the season.
"I've been working on those and since they doubled in on Carolyn, they gave me the opportunity to knock them down," Sutherland said.
"She's been so much more mature about embracing that, but from an effort standpoint, her numbers senior year are off the chart," Henrickson said. "I'm just really, really excited for her and how much better that makes us."

Sutherland's offensive efficiency has been something she's been able to develop in her four years at the University.

A protest in cyberspace works to fight SOPA legislation

Black screens fill the Internet today as website owners and companies protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) that are being discussed in Congress. The legislation is being presented as necessary online piracy deterrents, but it may lead to limitations on Internet freedoms.
Websites including Reddit.com, Wikipedia.org, WordPress.com and Google.com are among thousands of sites that are participating in the protest, according to the House Judiciary Committee website and Sopastrike.com. The protest began at midnight and will last throughout the day.
Reddit.com, Wikipedia.org and WordPress.com have blacked out, and Google.com posted a link on its homepage stating its opposition to the two acts. Facebook.com hasn't joined the protest as of last night, but it has denounced the legislation. If the SOPA passes in Congress, it will allow original content producers in
the United States to file court orders against websites that illegally distribute or enable privacy of their content. It builds on the PIPA, which would give legal authorities the right to ask Internet service providers to prevent access to specific websites.
["SOPA] could create an obstacle to free use of the Internet," said Mike Kautsch, a professor of media and First Amendment law at the University. "Under this bill, the government would be empowered to basically prevent people from using websites or maintaining and operating websites if infringing on copyright materials."
To recruit websites to participate in today's protest, organizers from Fight for the Future, a non-profit group advocating for online freedom, set up Sopastrike.com. The site is advocating for the blackout and gives website owners a place to sign up for the protest. The site is less than a week old but has gathered more than 1,500 individual websites for the blackout.
"We launched it last Thursday, but we've been working on this issue and working on American
censorship since November," said Tiffany Cheng, co-founder of Fight for the Future.
The website is just one of many spreading awareness about the protest.
"We have been working with other groups," Cheng said, "but this is really a part of a grassroots movement."
Conversely, the list of organizations supporting the two bills includes music, film and professional sports associations, cable networks, television stations and pharmaceutical organizations, according to statements and letters of support on the U.S. House of Representatives' website.
"The ideal is to have a law that would prohibit [piracy]," Kautsch said. "The U.S. government would be in a position to bring an action or stop a website that would pirate works."
Opponents say the bill's language is too broad and can be applied to censor-critical, whistle-blowing websites as well as provide restrictions on site-linking.
"I think the objection is broad,"
Kautsch said, "SOPA is seen as an effort to change the way that the U.S. citizens use the Internet and essentially put the free use under the watchful eye of the government."
The two bills are currently losing support from legislators after SOPA was delayed pending "outstanding concerns" within the House of Representative's judiciary committee. Additionally, President Barack Obama's technology staff blogged that "...We will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet."
IF SOPA passes and Obama doesn't veto it, along with combating online piracy it could also challenge tenets of the First Amendment, Kautsch said
"It could create an opportunity for members of the executive or judicial branch to make arbitrary decisions on what websites can be censored based on personal views," he said.

Boarding houses decision deferred
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
The Lawrence City Commission deferred a decision to limit the number of boarding houses allowed in the Oread neighborhood in its weekly meeting at City Hall Tuesday night.
City commissioners are in favor of changing the current regulation to 4,500 gross square feet, with a half parking space for each bedroom.
This measure would limit the amount of eligible houses in the Oread neighborhood to 20 homes, which is 4.5 percent of the neighborhood.
Commissioners agreed to defer the decision because the planning commission's research did not clarify whether the 4,500 square-foot number, which yielded the 20 homes, included only basements, or both basements and attics.
Currently, a boarding house must be 3,500 square feet, including unfinished attic and basement areas, with the understanding that those areas could be habitable eventually. Houses must also provide a half parking space per bedroom.
The idea to change the square-footage requirement came after the city planning commission's research showed that 83 homes, or 20 percent of the Oread neighborhood, would be eligible to become boarding houses under the current 3,500 square-feet rule.
As long as those requirements are met, each boarding house is able to have more than four unrelated occupants.
The discussion at the meeting
was tabled, meaning the opinions of the public in attendance' will be taken into consideration, but the floor will not be open for further discussion when the decision is made next week.
The commission heard from several citizens, most being from either the Oread Neighborhood Association, which consists largely of landlords and tenants, and the Oread Residents Association, consisting mostly of homeowners.
The Oread Residents Association was concerned that having so many students in the neighborhood could affect parking, partying and trash. Residents said they would like to avoid an unpleasant living environment.
The neighborhood association said most Oread homes are historical and deserve to be restored. It also said Oread homes are too costly for most single families to afford, and renovations are difficult enough without additional regulations.
The commission thanked the residents for their input and said its goal is to improve the quality of living in the Oread neighborhood.
If the new regulations pass, it is uncertain how long they will last, because the upcoming Oread Neighborhood Plan and overlying districts may call for changes to boarding houses.
The next city commission meeting is Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 6:35 p.m.
at Lawrence City Hall.

La Niña brings dry Kansas winter
Kansas weather has always been irregular, as many who live in Kansas have experienced, and this year is no exception. La Nina — "the little girl" — a weather pattern characterized by drier, warmer climate, has been prevalent during this winter season.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
"We've been in a fairly persistent La Niña since mid-2010," said Shawn Millrad, an assistant meteorology professor at the University.
Although the possibility of freezing temperatures and blizzards exist, cold days and snow are less frequent during this type of dry winter season. La Niña occurs every three to seven years and is caused by the eastern Pacific Ocean being colder than the western Pacific, Millrad said. The opposite is true for El Niño, which is a weather pattern of unusually hot temperatures that alternates with La Niña. La Niña's effects on North American jet streams have ultimately made this Kansas winter dry and warm.
Although last winter was also a La Niña season, Kansas saw lower temperatures and more snow because of the weather pattern called the North Atlantic Oscillation.
"The oscillation aligns with La Niña this year, whereas last year it was competing," said Prescott Bishop, a meteorology graduate student from San Jose, Calif.
These competing weather trends point to the great complexity of factors that affect weather. To forecast as accurately as possible, researchers developed weather models, which depend on many factors.
"We don't have it completely pinpointed as to what all actions necesarily cause reactions," said Garrett
Black, a senior and meteorology
student from Haven.
Research has allowed for significant forecasting improvement. The accuracy of a four-day forecast now is equal to a two-day forecast 20 years ago, Millrad said. Still, debate in the meteorology field goes on about what factors should be considered when making a forecast and how much they will affect weather patterns.
Millrad said although this round of La Niña has been around for an extended period of time, it should stick around for a few months by stream returns explained make edic-

Statistics help define Milennial generation
Anecdotally, millennials are tech-savvy, more liberal than our parents, loading ourselves with student loan debt and graduating into the worst job market in years. But who are we really and where do we as a group stand on political issues?
Based on Pew Research data, millennial voter turnout rates rose from 40 percent to 51 percent between the 2000 and 2008 presidential elections, and 66 percent of millennials voted for Barack Obama. But millennials are divided about whether Obama has made good on his promise of change in Washington: 46 percent of millennials say things have changed and 48 percent say they have not.
Millennials are disillusioned with government and see businesses as well as partisan and special interest groups as dominating factors in the political arena.
But even so, millennials seem to express civic duty through less political outlets, such as volunteering. We are more likely than any other generation to have participated in community service in the last 12 months. We are also more likely than other generations to buy (or to choose not to buy) from companies that espouse political or social values they agree with.
Washington because of special interest groups and Obama's political opponents, while 42 percent say business corporations have even more control over their daily lives than the government.

Tourists injured after Ethiopia terror attack
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Five foreign tourists were killed by unknown armed rebels in Ethiopia's restive Afar region in the country's north, Ethiopian state television reported on Tuesday.
The Ethiopian Television, or ETV, cited the Ethiopian Ministry of Defense report a group of eight unidentified foreign nationals were attacked near the Eritnean border on Monday.
EFTV suggested that the attackers were rebels with ties to Ethiopia's archival Eritrea, which hosts the exiled Oromo Liberation Front, a rebel group listed as
ETV said two tourists were injured severely and have been brought to a health clinic by defense forces. They are in critical condition, the state television said. Another tourist survived the attack unarmed.
a terrorist organization by the Ethiopian government.
In Vienna, Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Peter Launsky-Tiefenthal said as many as 22 tourists of several European nationalities may have been attacked, including two Austrians.
In Berlin, a spokesman at the German Foreign Ministry, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, said it has received "reports of an attack on a tour group with Germans in Ethiopia" and that the ministry is trying to determine what had happened.
Ethiopia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs acknowledged tourists had been attacked in the Afar region but said it didn't have any further details about the attack or the victims' nationalities.

Many ethnic Tuareg fighters who had fought for Moammar Gadhafi returned to Mali with their weapons after the Libyan strongman was killed in October. Some joined a rebel group called the National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad, formed in the same month.
Most of the fighting was in MENaka, a town in eastern Mali, said Moussa Ag Acharatouane, an NMLA leader who spoke to The Associated Press by telephone from Paris.
"Operations are continuing in Menaka and some other towns as well.
Our aim is to liberate these towns," Ag Acharatoumaune said.
Bakine Ag Bambalo, a trader in Menaka, said residents heard gunfire and explosions erupt in the morning.
"We heard rifles being fired and some heavy weapons too," the trader said, adding that Malian helicopters then came and fired at the attackers. The fighting tapered off by midday, and people returned to the streets, he told AP.
"We've taken this action because we tried to open a dialogue with the government, but they reacted by denying there's a real problem and sending their army to occupy our towns." Ag Acharatouane said.
The group is fighting for the independence of north Mali, he said.

Anti-Taliban reporter shot in Pakistan
According to his profile on LinkedIn, Atif was a reporter for Voice of America's Pashtu language Deewa radio station and a Pakistani television station. Pashtu is the language spoken in much of northwest Pakistan.
PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN — Islami militants on Tuesday killed a Pakistani journalist who was working for an American government-funded broadcasting service, according to police, a militant spokesman and a colleague.

A spokesman for the Taliban called an Associated Press reporter to claim responsibility for the killing.
Inansulah Ihsan of the Taliban said the militants had warned Atif a "number of times to stop anti-Taliban reporting, but he didn't do so. He finally met his fate."
A colleague said Atif, 40, had received threats from militants in the Mohmand tribal region and moved away from there several months ago. The man didn't give his name for security reasons.

BEIJING China appears on track to avoid an abrupt economic slowdown with possible global repercussions after growth eased to a still robust 8.9 percent in the last quarter of 2011.
China's economy braces for inflation
ASIA
The expansion in the world's second-largest economy was the slowest in 2 1/2 years, but December retail sales and factory output accelerated, data showed Tuesday.
"Today's outcome seems to confirm a 'soft landing' scenario," said Frances Cheung of Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong.
China is one of the biggest importers, and slower growth could have global repercussions if it cuts demand for iron ore and other goods from Australia, Brazil, Southeast Asia and elsewhere.
Growth slowed in 2011 as Beijing hiked interest rates and tightened investment curbs to prevent overheating and tame politically dangerous inflation. Communist leaders reversed course and started easing lending late in the year after plunging U.S. and European export demand raised the threat of job losses and unrest.
The slowdown was in line with government plans, said Ma Jiantang, commissioner of the National Bureau of Statistics. He said it would be ideal to keep growth between 8.5 percent and 9 percent, with inflation low.
In 2012, China faces challenges due to global malaise and pressure for prices to rise, Ma said at a news conference. Still, he said, "The fundamentals of China's long-term steady economic growth have not changed."

Pressure to reduce imports from Iran
SEOUL SOUTH KOREA
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — A senior U.S. official urged South Korea on Tuesday to reduce its crude oil imports from Iran, ratcheting up pressure on Washington's close ally to help confront Tehran over its nuclear
program.
South Korea restricts financial dealings with more than 200 groups and individuals with suspected links to Iran's nuclear program. But
A. K. BALMGAR
Seoul relies on Iran for up to 10 percent of its oil supplies.
Japan and the European Union are considering reducing their oil imports
from Iran.
Einhorn
"We're urging all of our partners to help us, to work with us in putting pressure on the government of Iran, to get it to negotiate seriously," Robert Einhorn, the State Department's special adviser for nonproliferation and arms control, told reporters in Seoul after a meeting with senior South Korean Foreign Ministry officials.
Einhorn also visited Seoul last month to push South Korea to stop buying Iranian petrochemicals.
South Korea's Foreign Ministry said the government hasn't decided on the U.S. request to cut oil imports from Iran.

Members of Occupy KU meet every Friday at 4 p.m. in the Kansas Union. The group has yet to spend its $200 fund from last semester
Occupy KU wants to expand

An extra $200 might burn a hole in the pockets of some students, but one KU group has created a nice nest egg for itself while it tries to grow in numbers.
Occupy KU received $200 in general funding from Student Senate last semester, but it has held off spending any of the money until it gains a group that fully represents the University in both numbers and diversity, according to Occupy KU student representative John Weissmiller, a senior from Lawrence.
Although winter break put the group on hiatus. Weismiller said he had spoken with members since their last meeting, and they already have plans for this semester to continue beyond the basic chalking
Matt Schwabauer, a 26-year-old Lawrence resident, is a member of Occupy Lawrence and has attended Occupy KU events as well. He said the group's ability to meet in the Union along with the $200 in funding gives it a better chance to expand.
"We are planning on publishing some short magazines as well as having teach-ins, movie screenings and other direct education avenues for raising awareness for the world we are set to inherit" he said.

Change is imminent for local trailer park
LUKE RANKER
Iranker@kansan.com
Nick Jamison grew up in Gaslight Village, the mobile home park at 31st Street and Ousdahl Road.
As a boy, he lived near what is now Home Depot, and he still lives in the same trailer. At that time, the park was twice its current size, extending to Iowa Street.
Jamison, a nursing student at NeoSho County Community College, said that the park included a pool, community building and basketball court.
"This used to a pretty big place," he said, standing on the end of a row of rusted mobile homes. "It was a nice community."
With the developer Aspen Heights seeking a contract to buy and redevelop the park, the diminished mobile home community could vanish all together. Aspen Heights, based in Austin, Texas, plans to replace the approximately 150 mobile homes with rental homes for students.
Before that can happen, the city must first re-zone the area. Then, Aspen Heights can negotiate a price with the owner of the mobile home park and begin construction.
A difficult decision looms
Jamison inherited his childhood home, a 1982 Skyline, from his grandparents, and he is currently remodeling it. Last month, park owners were scheduled to visit residents to discuss their options.
Mid-America Manufactured Housing Communities, which owns Gaslight Village, sent a letter to residents in November assuring them that space was available in other local mobile home parks. The letter also said that funds would be available to help with moving costs. A message left with company officials was not returned and repeated attempts to speak with them were unsuccessful.
Ideally, Jamison would like to buy some land in another county for the trailer as his parents had done years before. If that's not an option, he'll most likely move to another park.
Jamison's trailer has already been moved twice: when his parents built a new home in Ottawa and when he moved back to the mobile home park. He paid $600 for just the towing fee. He leveled the trailer himself along with installing the plumbing and electrical.
"I used to work in construction, so it was pretty easy," he said.
Jamison said it was unlikely that he would sell his trailer.
"It's a lot like buying an automobile," he said, "It's not a good
investment."
Despite the low value, Jamison said it was perfect for a student.
Easier decision for others
"This is one of cheapest places to live, especially if you own your own trailer," jamison said. He estimated his lot rental was around $285 a month.
"It's in my blood to move," he said.
For 34-year-old Santiago Zaragoza, who has been a resident of Gaslight Village since July 2009, the decision to move his family was easier. He said Kansas was the sixth state he had lived in and had no problem re-adjusting.
Zaragoza said he had already visited with the manager of Riverside Mobile Home Community in north Lawrence. He said the manager was understanding of Zaragoza's need to re-locate and offered a discount in rent for the first year.
Development on the horizon
"We're very early in the review process." Day said.
She said the only major issue she saw with re-zoning the area would be securing adequate water access
Sandy Day, project planner for the city, said the 45-acre area of Gaslight Village would have to be re-zoned from single-family zoning to multi-family zoning before construction could begin. The developer will also need a permit to allow additional access to surrounding streets and utilities.
In December, the city received a special needs permit request. That request will go before a public hearing on Jan. 25 and then a vote by the City Commission around Feb.14.
Jason Sherman, chief marketing officer at Aspen Heights, said the company chose the location because it provides easy access to campus, retail and other amenities. Aspen Heights plans to connect to the Naismith Valley Park Trail to provide a link for students who bike to campus.
The new housing complex should accommodate 994 students in two-, three- and four- bedroom duplexes and homes.
Though the future of Gaslight Village is still unclear, Zaragoza remains optimistic.
"We'll move and be fine," he said.
However, Jamison said he still has a lot to consider.
"I'm weighing my options," he said.

Poe fans awaiting birthday tribute
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — For decades, a mysterious man left three roses and cognac on Edgar Allan Poe's grave to mark the anniversary of the writer's birth. But after the visitor, dubbed the "Poe Toaster", failed to appear two years in a row, Poe fans are planning one last vigil this week before calling an end to the annual Jan. 19 tradition. Poe House and Museum Curator Jeff Jerome, who has kept
watch for the "Poe Toaster" since 1978, thinks that it's Poe's suffering and his lifelong dream to be a poet that people still relate to.
Poe was buried in Westminster Burial Ground, then moved to a more prominent spot in the front of the cemetery in 1875. The rose and cognac tributes of an anonymous man dressed in black with a white scarf and wide-brimmed hat are thought to date back to at least the 1940s.

Future uncertain for the Golden Globes
The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. which created and owns the Golden Globes, is going to war with Dick Clark Productions, the longtime producer of the Globes' show.
LOS ANGELES — The Golden Globes Awards are over, but a battle for the show's future is just starting.
At issue is a 2010 deal that Dick Clark Productions made with NBC to keep the Golden Globes on the network through 2018. That deal was to go into effect starting with this year's show. The ink was barely dry on the contract when the HFPA filed a lawsuit charging that Dick Clark Productions violated the partnership by signing the new contract without HFPA approval.
scheduled to air the disagreement before a judge in a federal court in Los Angeles. If the HFAW wins, the NBC contract could be voided and the rights shipped to other networks. Because the contract never went into effect, NBC cut a one-year deal to carry Sunday's show for $14 million.
Next Tuesday, the two sides are

You won't read "The Hunger Games" because you're a hipster and everyone is reading it, but you are reading "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." Hmm...
You know it's going to be a good semester when it's only the first day of classes and you're already in the FFA. Editor's note: Always glad to brighten someone's day!
Withey's basketball skills are almost as hot as his haircut...almost.
You know you're unprepared for the first day of school when you don't even have a pencil.
Why is Anschutz so full right now? Classes just started. All I wanna do is eat lunch and read the UDK without being crowded.
How big is KU? Not big enough. The annoying kid in Greek and Roman mythology last semester is in my biology this semester.
The only reason why i'm glad to be back in class is now I can read the FFA every day.
Editor's note: We're really glad you guys are reading something even if it is random nonsense texted at i a.m.
To the awesome guy who bought my lunch at the Underground when my card was declined: I owe you beers.
I mean, I don't know where you're from, but here we walk on the right side of the sidewalk.
We meet again, FFA. It's you, me and my Fridays alone with a certain bottle of Kentucky Gentleman. Let's do this.
Having Dan back on route 43 made the first day back to class bearable.

HISTORY
For most of us today, walking on the moon is passé. It might be something our parents thought was cool, but, let's face it, the only thing relevant from their generation to ours are the Doors for perennial stoners and Monty Python for the incurable nerds. The rest of us have been cruelly disinherited.
From the dawn of time, man has yearned to see the world from the highest heights of heaven. Once he got there, his first thought was (as immortalized by VanHalen), "Might as well jump!" There is no record of this end happily.
Indeed, it seemed that the cruel dictatorship of gravity allied with the junta of Newtonian physics would continue to exert their merciless grip on the wingless children of men. This was and is the lasting effect of super-villain extraordinaire Sir Isaac Newton and his gravity ray.
Early attempts to fly by crossbreeding a horse and a bird, sadly, ended in hybrids with deep existential crises. Yes, even though gravity was conquered in 1903 by the Wright brothers, this was universally acknowledged as "cheating."
However, one score and ten years ago today, a truly relevant combination of intelligence and invention conspired to produce the most prohibitively expensive aeronautical sport our generation has ever known (except, perhaps, for Ouidditch).
Two brave souls, instead of aiming for the stars, shot for the ground. In a literally un-ground-breaking moment in history, these two men fulfilled that definition of flying (as per "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy") in aiming themselves at the ground and missing. No, these men were not Orville and Wilbur Wright. They weren't even Superman impersonators or on PCP.

What, then, was their secret of survival?
Those of you who have marveled, irrevocably transfixed by YouTube videos of BASE jumping need no explanation of what it consists of nor be surprised that's how the two survived. For those of you who can study without the temptation to surf the web, BASE jumping is the ancient and practiced art of jumping off of Buildings Antennae, Spans (an English word translated as "bridges") and
Earth (as in fjords, cliffs or gentle, sloping hills). The idea is that you need a parachute to land.
However, the conquering heroes of today's story are Phil Smith and Phil Mayfield. While their names loom not large in the pantheon of courageous humanity, perhaps their names should be alongside those of Christopher Columbus, Amelia Earhart and The Fonz, who, lest we forget, risked life and limb in the shark jump of our legends.
The Phil-tastic duo had already made successful jumps off of the Antannae, Spans and Earth but this was the crowning moment, commemorated today, that ended forever vulgar ASE jumping and ennobled it to BASE jumping.
As the fearless team jumped off that skyscraper (the missing B
in the acronym) they must have been watched by literally dozens of bystanders, fixated in horror or Schadenfreude. They landed safely on the pavement and probably had an after party in which they booked James Taylor to compose the ballad "Fire and Rain."
What made the BASE jumping possible was the invention of the parachute. Some people thank Leonardo da Vinci for this invention due to his primitive schematics. These same people credit George Lucas with inventing light sabers. No one really knows who invented the parachute, for the simple reason that it's far easier to attribute the invention to da Vinci, the famed Grand Master of the Priory of Sion (source: Dan Brown).
Today, the latest and greatest tool yet for BASE jumpers (aside from the parachute) is the wing-suit. Students of mythology will recall the wings of Icarus and are the only people who would be interested to know that those were prototypes for the wing suit.
Perhaps the idea to create a wingsuit first entered the mind of man when looking upon the humble flying squirrel. Yet man was so cursed to be deprived of
the unseemly skin connecting the arms with the legs. Necessity, being the mother of invention, then gave birth to the wingsuit.
Probably a millennium later, the wingsuit was born. As chronicled in "Batman Begins," super billionaire Bruce Wayne funded research for the state-of-the-art wingsuit (inconspicuously disguised as a cape). This paved the way for dozens of people with more money than sense to amuse themselves in an otherwise suicidal pastime.
What lesson can we learn from this historical watershed? Perhaps, one day, wingsuits will become boring to those who now possess them. Cars were once cool. Who thinks they're anything but prosaic now? When this new ennui sets in, I predict newer ways of defying the limitations of nature will outstrip our current means. The advent of the jetpack and hovercar is just around the corner. This is my advice to all: Keep your eyes on the skies.

As I write this, I'm sitting in a relatively comfortable chair with my feet in front of the fireplace in a ski lodge at the beautiful Keystone, Colo. Tomorrow, I'll be hitting the slopes with my 56-year-old father, and I'll be hard-pressed just to try and keep up.
Just to clarify, I'm no slouch of a skier. I started sliding down mountains with planks attached to my feet at the ripe age of 4, and I'm no stranger to black diamonds. So, it's not due to my lacking skill that he'll ski me into the ground. It's because he combines the certifiable toughness and know-how of Clint Eastwood with the athleticism of a thoroughbred. Put simply, it's because he's a man. A manly man.

On our way out to the slopes, we spent some time in Denver attempting to find new roof clamps for our ski rack and seeing some old friends. Being former Denver
dwellers, it was only natural to reminisce. In driving to our various destinations, mydid pointed out each golf course he used to go to and choked
assembly directions in the box, and that's where they stayed. My dad wouldn't be caught dead reading directions. They're for yuppies anyway.
It's important to note that the masculine practice of ignoring the existence of directions is in no way petty and isn't just a ploy that we use to annoy the women in our lives (although that can be a relatively humorous side effect). We really do it to test ourselves.
"To men, it's much more rewarding to accomplish a task using nothing but intuition and sheer will power."
Having moved away 15 years ago, he was rusty when it came to local geography. My mom was constantly upset by his guessing which direction to go and acting like he knew where we were. Our car has On-Star and my cell phone has a GPS, but he was not going to use any of that black magic. If he couldn't get there using his God-given directional abilities and somewhat unreliable memory, then he didn't deserve to get there anyway.
Would it be easier to read the instructions and follow them step by step? Of course it would. To men, it's much more reward-
When we finally procured replacement clamps for our ski rack, after several U-turns and detouts trying to find the ski shop, it was time to get the rack attached to the roof. There were
back tears (manly ones) as he saw that some of them had been replaced by strip malls and fast food joints.
ing to accomplish a task using nothing but intuition and sheer will power. I'm not implying that women don't get the same thrill from accomplishing
MUSIC
a challenging task, but they don't seem to have the same inexplicable hatred for reading potentially useful information.
All things considered, I'm fully convinced that if my father ever asked for directions or read the assembly instructions for that new ski rack, he would be an exponentially worse skier, lose half of his muscle mass, and his thick, red beard would fall out instantly. I'm somewhat worried by the possibility of this outcome. However, I'm equally worried by the possibility that our campus could be overrun by rabid, bloodthirsty werewolves, but I can say with near certainty that neither of those things will ever happen.

Auto-tune technology ruins integrity of music industry
The old saying goes: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This is true in ali aspects in life, but to me, it is most recognizable in music. In the late 1980s, MTV's music-video culture was well on its way to defining what was popular in music. And at that time, engineered sounds made by synthesizers and an attitude made famous by heavy metal bands was very popular. Today, these trends seem to be finding their way back into popular music.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
Since rap and hip-hop have found their way to the top of the charts in record sales and radio plays, they have the ability to set what is popular is music. The idea of using fake, generated sounds is still the norm. In the world of hip-hop, artificial sounds are the crux of music. Sure, Kanye West has some amazing lyrical verses, but his music wouldn't sound as great if it weren't for those fly beats he makes with Jay-Z (and a computer).
With technology constantly improving, the ability for music producers to affect music via computers has set off a trend seen in the most popular music. This technology is called auto-tune. Autotune's purpose is to technologically enhance vocal recordings. All it takes is a twist of a (computer graphic) knob. This allows some artists who are not as vocally talented to compete with those who are. But the enhancement is still
noticeable to the listener, and there has been an outcry against auto-tune. But that hasn't stopped some artists from making their whole career off auto-tune (see: T-Pain).
This fad isn't specific to hiphop, though. Bands such as Maroon 5 have also used this technology. With the release of the song "Moves Like Jagger," Maroon 5 used both auto-tune and computer-generated sounds instead of their usual rock instruments.
Even bands in the hardcore screamo scene are following these fads. In the past couple of years, bands in this genre have started to use the advantage of computers to make more complex music, but at the same time they are compromising their integrity. Autotune and fake techno beats can be heard in a genre that was created by bands that sought to be as real as possible.
The heavy metal attitude is not seen as much as it was in the '80s, but it isn't much different than the fake lifestyles some famous artists create. Many artists, most notably
in the hip-hop genre, have been caught making up fake back-stories to justify their music.
Fads can be contagious, but they all come to an end. A three-piece rock outfit from Aberdeen, Wash., that went by the name Nirvana destroyed the original synthesizer and heavy metal attitude. Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain wanted to destroy the fake culture of heavy metal, while at the same time bringing music with real sounds back into the mainstream. Nirvana's most popular release, "Nevermind," was celebrated by many rock magazines for its 20th anniversary this past September, showing us that being real is still respected by the mainstream.
Nirvana will be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame soon, not because two of its three albums were massive commercial hits, but because its authenticity changed the game.
The aforementioned quote may have originally been used as warnings to make sure people don't make mistakes that have already been made in history. But when mistakes are repeated, sometimes the only way to fix them is to repeat what works. So I wonder: Where's my Nirvana?

Top recruits choose KU for its coaching staff
ETHAN PADWAY

When Kansas football coach Charlie Weis took over the program in December, he inherited the worst-ranked recruiting class in the Big 12 according to Rivals.com, and he had little time left to recruit potential players before signing day.
Even though Weis had to start so late in the recruiting game, he was quick to make a splash after snagging three highly touted players. Senior quarterback Dayne Crist, sophomore quarterback Jake Heaps and sophomore wide receiver Justin McCay announced they were transferring to Kansas to play under Weis.
A big reason recruits are drawn to Weis is his prestigious NFL pedigree. Weis won four Super Bowls as a member of the New York Giants and New England Patriots coaching staffs during his 15 seasons in the NFL.
"To have the opportunity to play at the next level is a huge dream of mine," Heaps said. "Ever since I was a little kid, I've been training, from the time I was in middle school, for the next opportunity. I don't think
there is a better coach out there than Coach Weis to help us get to the next level."
To help him out, Weis brought in Rob Ianello, his recruiting coordinator during his tenure at Notre Dame. The pair teamed up to bring three consecutive top 10 recruiting classes to Notre Dame, according to Rivals.com rankings.
Weis downplayed the fact that only certain coaches or schools send players to the next level.
"You want to know something!" Weis said. "You can get to the NFL from every school in the country. Any school that goes out there and says 'You can't get there from that school,' that's not true. You can get there from any school."
But Weis then added that he thought having coaches with NFL experience would help prepare his players for the next level.
Weis isn't the only member of his staff with an NFL pedigree. Offensive line coach Tim Grunhard played for the Kansas City Chiefs for 10 seasons, and defensive coordinator Dave Campo won three Super Bowls while on the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff in the 1990s.
Grunhard helped land McCay,
who played for him in high school
at Bishop Miege in Roeland Park. McCay said his established relationship with Grunhard made him interested in playing for KU.
"He didn't push the school toward me at all," McCay said. "We've always been friends since I was at Miege playing with him. He just said I'm going to be happy with whatever decision you make. Whether you choose to come to KU or wherever you want to go, I'm going to be happy with you. We're still going to be close.' That helped me a lot."
For Crist, KU's future quarterback, it was a similar decision. One of the deciding factors for Crist was the relationship he already had with Weis — something they continued even after Notre Dame fired Weis two years ago.
Now, Crist and Weis will try and lay the foundation for future success at Kansas.
"He's such a competitor and a guy that wants to win so badly, it's contagious," Crist said. "Other guys that are around him just want to win that much more. I'm very excited to get another opportunity to play for him, and the rest of the team should be too."

THE MORNING BREW Brees and Rodgers should split NFL's MVP
The argument for NFL MVP might seem untimely considering two
thyly considering two of the three candidates were knocked out of the playoffs last weekend.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the presumptive favorite, played what many consider to be his worst game of the season.
By Ryan McCarthy rmccarthy@kansan.com
It still wasn't enough, because the Saints couldn't overcome the offensive juggernaut that is Alex Smith and the 49ers to advance to the NFC Championship.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees put up another eye-popping statistical performance, going 40 for 63 with 462 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.
After two fantastic regular seasons, I think both of these players should split the MVP. That's something we haven't seen since Peyton Manning and
Steve McNair split the vote in 2003.
Through the first 14 weeks, Rodgers played a level of quarterback unseen before. Not only did he carve up defenses like a medical examiner on "CSI," but he also didn't turn the ball over, at all.
Throwing six interceptions in 16 games is near impossible in an era when defensive coordinators have tape on the opposing quarterback all the way back to when he played in the NFL Pop Warner Division's Under-8 League.
I'll be the first to admit that
Rodgers played poorly on Sunday, but you cannot discredit his accomplishments during the regular season. They were otherworldly.
Now, on to Drew Brees.
Although Rodgers has Brees beat in touchdown-to-interception ratio, Brees takes the cake in almost every other statistical category.
He passed for 46 touchdowns, led the most explosive and deep offense in the game and broke the most-coveted record by any passer: Dan Mario's passing yardage mark of 5,084 yards for a season.
Brees finished with 5,476 yards.
Brees is an interesting quarterback choice. He's not the prototypical quarterback. It hasn't been easy to get to the point he's at now, but what he does better than anyone else is trust his teammates.
KU
No one throws as many dangerous footballs into traffic, but Brees trusts that all his players will go up and get the ball when the game is on-the-line.
Before I wrap this up, I wanted to touch on the third candidate I mentioned.
You might have heard of him.
You might have heard of him.
He's got three rings on his finger, two MVPs on his mantee and a fairly attractive wife: Gisele Bundchen.
His name is Tom Brady and for a guy who many consider the greatest quarterback of all time, he hasn't received a lot of love this year.
I'm not on board the Brady bandwagon, but here are a few things to consider:
Brady's defense ranked near the bottom in all relevant statistical categories.
looks as though he's playing at the same level he did when he was 24.
The case I'm trying to make is this: 2011 might be the hardest year in recent memory to pick an MVP, because all three of these quarterbacks led offenses that the NFL has never seen.
The New England Patriots still don't have a legitimate deep-threat receiver, yet Brady can still make any pass he wants inside of 10 yards.
Brady is now 34, but still
Let's just hope it's this great again next year.

Geubelle named Big 12 Athlete of the Week
Andrea Geubelle was named Female Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Athlete of
Geubelle
performance in the kansas vs. Missouri Dual Meet last Friday. The University of Kansas five-time All-American won both long- and triple-jump competitions against Missouri. Geubelle, a junior from University Place, Wash., was also runner-up in the 200-meter dash. The performances earned 13 points for the
Jayhawks' total team score; in the meet, they won 191-167.
Andrea Geubelle said the training she has put in working with coach Wayne Pate has improved her technique and form.
- Max Goodwin
The triple jump from Geebelle against Missouri was just two inches short of her longest jump this season (12.87 meters), which is the longest of the season in the NCAA. Her winning long jump (6.21 meters) is the third-best long jump in the NCAA this season. This is the first time that a Kansas woman has won the indoor track and field award since 2008. Diamond Dixon was given the outdoor award last season for her performance in May.
WORLD SERIES
Obama's a fan of the Cardinals' comeback
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Tuesday dubbed the St. Louis Cardinals the "greatest comeback team in the history of baseball" thanks to their thrilling late-season charge into the playoffs and death-defying, seven-game triumph in last November's World Series.
The Cardinals were 10 $ \frac{1}{2} $ games back at the end of August, but rallied to win a National League wild card spot on the last day of the regular season. They trailed in each playoff round and were twice within a strike of elimination in Game six of the series with the Texas Rangers before
David Freese's walk-off home run in the 11th saved them.
"That has to be one of the best baseball games of all time," Obama said to applause and cheers as he welcomed team members in the East Room.
Leading off at the event was first lady Michelle Obama, celebrating her 48th birthday. And with a swing of the bat, she nearly stole the show.
Mrs. Obama was present at the series opener, and she thanked the Cardinals for all they do for military families. Then team owner Bill de Witt gave both Obamas team jerseys and souvenir bats.
"I'm a little bit worried about giving my wife a bat," the president
joked. "If I mess up..."
His wife deadpanned, "I'll take my bat," then hefted and glancing meaningfully in Obama's direction, as Cardinals players, team officials and Missouri lawmakers chuckled.
Two key figures of the championship season were absent. Manager Tony La Russa retired after the series. And star Albert Pujols signed a $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels in the offseason.
Meantime, baseball purists still debate which team is really the comeback king of the national pastime. Among the candidates: Some cite the 1951 N.Y. Giants, others the 2004 Boston Red Sox. But there was no doubting Obama's enthusiasm for
the Cardinals' heroics.
He noted in late August, Las Vegas oddsmakers had the Cards 500-to-1 underdogs.
"But through skills, guts and I think the team would agree just a little bit of luck — just a touch — this team made the playoffs," Obama said. "And even though they trailed in each of the series that followed, they somehow had the spirit and the determination and the resolve to survive."
"This team essentially played two months of elimination games," Obama said.

"Phog" lives up to hype

The banner hangs on the north side of Allen Fieldhouse, sending the message to any team that dares to enter.
Entering the season, and especially after the Dec. 19 loss to Davidson at the Sprint Center, Kansas' chances of repeating as Big 12 champions for the eighth-consecutive year looked slim. It's amazing how much can change in a month, as the Big 12 crown appears Lawrence-bound again.
"Pay Heed, All Who Enter: Beware of the Phog."
- Edited by Gabrielle Schock
Over the years, the Fieldhouse has received accolades and recognition for being the nation's toughest college basketball venue, but Monday night's game against Baylor showed a national audience that "The Phog" doesn't just live up to its hostile reputation, but rather surpasses it.
In 2010, Baylor coach Scott Drew took his players off the court during the introduction video, and the action received a negative response from the Kansas faithful. Drew's controversial move nearly resulted in a victory, but this time the team stayed on the court during the video. The deafening music and crowd's roar had to be impossible to tune out, even in a huddle.
Junior guard Angel Goodrich swiftly moves past her opponent from Iowa State to get to the basket during last week's game against. The Jayhawks will travel to Oklahoma State tonight at 7 p.m.
Monday night was a perfect storm, as then- undefeated Baylor visited Allen Fieldhouse in the midst of the Bears' best-ever athletic run. Since Robert Griffin III and Baylor defeated Missouri on Nov. 5, the football, men's and women's basketball teams had won every game: 40 victories, zero losses. Confidence in Waco, Texas, was at an all-time high, and the third-ranked, 17-0 Bears were ready to leave Allen Fieldhouse with victory No. 18.
From the Rock Chalk Chant to introduction videos and tip-off, the Fieldhouse presents opponents with the virtually impossible task of leaving with a victory.
That may have happened at any other venue, but not here in Lawrence – not at Allen Fieldhouse. Baylor is a team loaded with NBA-caliber talent in Perry Jones III and Quincy Miller, who lead one of the nation's deepest frontcourts. On the other hand, outside of Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor, many experts considered the 2011-12 Jayahaws as a team seriously devoid of typical Bill Self talent. However, anyone who saw Kansas' 92-74 thrashing of Baylor witnessed a trio of the nation's best players, excellent coaching and an unmatched home-court advantage
Had Kansas not lost to Texas on Jan. 22 of last year following the tragic passing of Robinson's mother Lisa, who knows what would have ensued or how future opponents would have reacted. But we do know that 85 of the last 86 teams to visit Allen Fieldhouse have left with their heads down in defeat. Rankings are irrelevant at the Fieldhouse, and the Baylor game was just another example to add to an already enormous sample size.
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
This is the second time the Kansas women's basketball team will travel to Stillwater, Okla., this season.
The first time occurred under startling circumstances on Nov. 21 as the Jayhawks attended the memorial service of Oklahoma State's women's coach, Kurt Budke, assistant Miranda Serna and the other two victims of the small-plane crash on Nov. 17, in Perry County, Ark.
The casualties of the plane crash will be on Kansas' mind and in hearts when it faces the Cowgirls tonight at 7 p.m. at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
After the tragedy, every Big 12 woman's basketball player and coach has displayed orange ribbons that are either pinned or

Although this season has been extremely painful for the Cowboy community, one Kansas player has felt the pain of the situation, too.
Budke and the rest of the Oklahoma State coaching staff recruited junior guard Angel Goodrich, a Tahlequah, Okla., native, when she was coming out of high school.
Before she decided to become a Jayhawk, Goodrich developed a relationship with many members of the Oklahoma State coaching staff.
"It's been a tough year for them and for the Big 12," Goodrich said. "It's something you see and you think about it, but this is another game in the Big 12. We're just going to go down there and do what we need to do."
"They were one of the top schools on my list," Goodrich said. "To get to know those coaches and see that happen is very sad."
Goodrich thinks it will be a difficult game, but she also realizes that the Jayhawks must continue to build on the momentum they've built up during the Big 12 season.
Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson coached against Budke for six years and would regularly exchange family stories with him whenever they talked.

"All things considered, the tragedy at the beginning of the year, those kids played hard before that and have continued to do that since that." Henrickson said.
Although it was a difficult loss for Henrickson, she thinks that Budke left behind an impressive group of women at Oklahoma State that helps the team continue to be competitive in the Big 12.
conference start they've had since the 1999-2000 season.
One of the most-important players leading the Jayhawks to this success is junior forward Carolyn Davis.
Her efficiency on the offensive end and presence on the defensive end continues to help Kansas, especially on the road.
There are not many games when 6-foot-3 Davis looks up at anybody, but 6-foot-6 Oklahoma State sophomore center Vicky McIntyre could be someone who prevents
The Jayhawks notched another road victory on Sunday when they defeated the Missouri Tigers, 72-63.
"I think we showed a lot of growth," Davis said. "We had trouble on the road a lot last year, so I think this year we've came through a lot of adversity and really been more mature."

Davis said that Oklahoma State has a lot of size and strength inside. The Cowgirls will also try to double team her and play a lot of zone, but she expects her team to have a good game plan.
Although the tragedy will be on everyone's mind, the layhawks know that the healing process has begun in Stillwater.
They will console the coaches and players, but the team also realizes this is another road game that needs to go in the win column.
"You try to find a place for it and keep a place for it," Henrickson said. "We haven't talked about that. I don't know if we would, to be quite honest. I think for us to go down there and focus on what we can control."

"Turnover" Taylor starts turning his career around

Taylor ignored coach Bill Self's play call, skipping the ball through his legs as he inched toward the center of the arc. With seven seconds left in the half, Taylor jumped, legs failing behind, and buried a 3-point shot of his own to cap a 13-0 run of which he scored 11.
Milk the clock to nothing and find senior guard Conner Teahan for three points. That was senior guard Tyshawn Taylor's job at the end of the first half against Baylor on Monday night, and he just couldn't do it.
"I told him, 'Go flat and let's get Conner a three.' So he did exactly what I asked," Self said. "He shot it himself."
Self imagined that if he told
Taylor to shoot it, Teahan would have gotten the shot.
"Tyshawn and I have kind of a unique relationship," Self said.
He scuffled with the football team in September 2009 and dislocated a thumb. He's been suspended multiple times and repeatedly stirs trouble on Twitter in defense of his image and game. He turns the ball over at a high rate, feeding critics with an eye-sore of a statistic
It's this relationship that has puzzled Kansas fans throughout Taylor's four years in Lawrence.
Then there are days like Saturday and Monday, where Taylor's brilliance outshines his past.
"Turnovers don't come up too much when we're winning," Taylor said.
Taylor has scored a career-high 28 points in his past two games, victories against Iowa State and
Baylor. After a long summer of shooting, his once flawed 3-pointer has become a weapon.
His unrelenting ability to attack the basket, no matter the defense allows him to make acrobatic layups. If he opts not to score, he's already drawn the defense's attention, and his teammates simply wait for his pass to knock down open shots.
"We've only had one other kid since I've been here that can get the ball to the paint, and that was Sherron," Self said. "Tyshawn does it better than Sherron."
When the shot clock is nearing zero and Taylor has the ball, his quick first step and improved jump keeps the defense guessing and the Jayhawks rolling on.

The traveling Broadway company NETworks performed at the Lied Center where the cast and crew arrived early Wednesday morning for rehearsals. A decision was made to perform at the University last year.
The University of Kansas along with the community of Lawrence had an opportunity to see the Tony award-winning Broadway show "South Pacific" on Wednesday evening, Jan.18.
Cast meber Erik Cheski, who portrayed the character Stewpot in
the show said his favorite part has been telling this absolutely fantastic story.
The company has been together on this production since late August and opened their tour of "South Pacific" on Sept. 26 in Boston, having done significant research into the story's time period of World War II throughout the tour.
"He's not trying to pull one over on anyone. He is in there just trying to get done what needs to get done," Cheski said.
"It's a great revival, and it’s won several Tony awards," Cheski said.
Cheski also discussed his favorite aspects of his character.
"We do want to take this show as many places as possible," said Cheski. "We've had several opportunities, including seeing some WWII memorials, and it's a fascinating piece of history to deal with."
"I thought it was great, very professional," said traveling Iowan Sarah Dreyer. "Bloody Mary always made you laugh."
The University itself was elated with this production coming to the Lied Center.
The audience had an overall positive reaction to the show.

STUDENT SENATE

"It's easy to get bogged down with small arguments on a Wednesday night," Johnson said, "but our Senate has done a very good job thinking about what it is that students want and what we should be using our time and resources for. It's different from other years certainly."

Cooperation leads to campus changes
Student Body President Libby Johnson said this year's senate has done a great job moving past petty issues and making progress for the University.
One area of progress for student government is the lowering of general education requirements. 72 hours are currently required to graduate, which, according to Johnson, is 30 to 50 percent more than most Big 12 schools and more than some Ivy League schools.
CRYPTOQUIPS 4
OPINION 5
Last semester, six sub-committees were formed to work on lowering the requirement and create a new curriculum. This year, a new transition committee will form to vet the courses that would potentially fulfill that curriculum. Johnson said the goal is to have the general education hours reduced to fewer than 40.
The University's Student Senate took on many issues important to students, such as clarifying rules to make their own system run more smoothly.
Student Senate also worked last semester to improve the functionality of the University's Court of Appeals. Aaron Harris,

Looking ahead to the new semester, Johnson hopes the student body will show the same commitment when it comes to an issue she thinks is particularly important: higher education.
"Everybody is working a little bit better together," Harris said. "I think people are actually concerned a little bit more about doing what's best instead of what's best for them."
"We all know that funding for higher education has not been raised and it's become much more of a burden on students," she said. "This is the first year in the state of Kansas that students are paying more for their education than the state and I think students should know and should be invested in it."
Johnson hopes to bring students to the Capital building in Topeka to discuss this issue with state officials on Feb. 10.
Harris said it's issues like this that prove members of the Senate are taking their jobs seriously this year.
chairman of the Student Rights Committee, wrote legislation to help get the court fully staffed. One important aspect of the bill was an amendment to allow the court to nominate their own judges if the Student Body President failed to do so. Those nominees would then go to the Student Senate for approval. It also called for more transparency by making it mandatory that all court decisions be posted online.

Changes in voter registration laws
In April 2011, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a bill that requires all voters to show photo identification at the polls. The state will issue a free photo ID card through the Department of Motor Vehicles to anyone who is eligible to vote. These changes have already gone into effect.
But, beginning Jan. 1, 2013, this bill requires any person registering to vote in Kansas for the first time to submit a document, such as a birth certificate or passport, that proves their citizenship. However, Secretary of State Kris Kobach has pushed to have this enacted sooner — in time for increased voter registration prior to the November elections.
Kobach will likely attempt to
pass further changes to voting laws by proposing a bill requiring a birth certificate for everyone registering or re-registering to vote in Kansas, not just first-time voters.
These changes create several hoops for college students to jump through, especially if they live out of town or out of state. In addition to navigating new voter laws in Kansas and possibly their home states as well, students would have to make a trip home or arrange for their birth certificate to be mailed to them in time to register to vote. For a group notorious for its poor showing at the polls, any obstacle could prove to be a big one.

CONGRESS
Redistricting committee offers new boundaries
TOPEKA, — The chairman of the Kansas Senate's redistricting committee proposed redrawing the state's four U.S. House districts Wednesday by moving Manhattan and Fort Riley into the 1st District.
Sen. Tim Owens, an Overland Park Republican, offered the new boundaries as the committee began redrawing the congressional districts and the 40 Senate districts.
"This is not without its controversy," Owens said. "This is a template. This is something you put down over the terrain and then you adjust to the terrain."
Manhattan and Fort Riley are now in the 2nd Congressional District of predominantly eastern Kansas. Owens proposes consolidating Douglas County into the 2nd District. It's currently split between the 2nd and 3rd districts.
Dick Carter of the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce said city and county leaders would prefer to stay in the 2nd District when maps are redrawn. Manhattan is home of
Kansas State University and where the Department of Homeland Security is proposing to build the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility to conduct plant and animal research.
Keeping the area in the 2nd District would align it with Fort Leavenworth and the University of Kansas in Lawrence, which Carter said were significant "communities of interest" to consider when drawing boundaries.
"We understand that there's always a starting point for discussion," Carter said.
Other changes include moving Montgomery County from the 4th District, which centers on Wichita, to the 2nd District, and adding all or parts of six counties in central Kansas into the 4th District.
Reno County was kept in the 1st District, represented by Rep. Tim Huelskamp, a freshman Republican. Sen. Anthony Hensley said Reno was moved into the 1st District 20 years ago.

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, center, accompanied by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Va., right, and Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, gestures at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 18, to discuss President Barack Obama's decision to halt the Keystone XL pipeline.
WASHINGTON — Raising the stakes on a bitter election-year fight with Republicans, President Barack Obama on Wednesday rejected a Canadian company's plan to build a U.S.-spanning, 1,700-mile pipeline to carry oil across six U.S. states to Texas refineries.
Though the project promises thousands of temporary jobs for the recovering U.S. economy, Obama said a February deadline set by Congress would not allow for a proper review of potential harm from the $7 billion Keystone XL project.
"As the State Department made clear last month, the rushed and arbitrary deadline insisted on by congressional Republicans prevented
The plan proposed by Calgary-based TransCanada would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to Texas, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Republicans assailed Obama's decision as a job-killer and said the fight wasn't over.
And the State Department said the decision was made "without prejudice," meaning TransCanada can submit a new application once a route through environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska is established.

Book based on emails bashes Jong Un
TOKYO — A new book claims that the eldest son of North Korea's late leader Kim Jong Il believes the impoverished regime is in danger of collapse and that his young half-brother, chosen to lead after Kim's death, is merely a figurehead.
The book by Tokyo-based journalist Yoji Gomi went on sale Wednesday. He said it is based primarily on email exchanges he had with Kim Jong Nam over many years.
The book, titled "My Father, Kim Jong II and Me," drew immediate attention as a rare view into the family that has led the secretive country for decades — though Kim Jong Nam is thought to be estranged from his family and the workings of government. Since Kim Jong Il's death Dec. 17, North Korea has been led by his youngest son, Kim Jong Un.
"Jong Un will just be a figurehead,"
the book quotes Kim Song Wah as saying. It claims he said the collapse of North Korea's economy is likely unless it initiates reforms, which could also bring it down.
"Without reforms and liberalization, the collapse of the economy is within sight," he quoted Kim as saying. "But reforms and opening up could also invite dangers for the regime."
Gomi, a Tokyo Shimbun journalist who had assignments in Seoul and Beijing, claims he exchanged 150 emails and has spent a total of seven hours interviewing Kim Jong Nam, who was seen as a possible successor until he fell out of favor with Kim Jong Il in 2001.

Nigerian police face criticism after escape
ABUJA, NIGERIA — Nigeria's police are under scrutiny after the suspected mastermind of the Christmas Day bombing that killed dozens escaped from custody during a police-escorted transfer — an embarrassment for a nation struggling to contain increasingly bloody sectarian attacks by a radical Islamist sect.
Authorities said Kabiru Sokoto planned the bombing that killed 38 people at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla, just outside Nigeria's capital Abuja. But his arrest at the mansion of a state governor in Abuja, and subsequent escape, raised more questions about the government's ability to stop the radical sect, known as Boko Haram, which claimed responsibility for the church attack.
Police Affairs Minister Caleb Olubolabi told journalists Wednesday that Sokoto's escape is under investigation and anyone, including
himself, could be fired over the incident.
Police had said in a statement that a local commissioner ordered Sokota transferred to another police station in Abaji, just outside of Abuja and that the policemen escorting him were attacked by suspected sect gang members who freed him.
National police spokesman Olu-sola Amore said Sokoto was arrested over the weekend at the official compound of the Borno state governor in Abuja. Borno state, in Nigeria's arid and dusty northeast, is Boko Haram's spiritual home.
However, Borno State spokesman Inuwa Bwala denied Tuesday evening that Sokoto was arrested in the governor's home, and said that Borno State governor Kashim Shettima and his opposition-led government were the victims of political persecution.

Students go to rec as semester starts
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Weary of gaining the freshman 15 or just wanting to work off the pounds accumulated during the holiday season, many students are trying to get back into shape by spending more time at the Amber Student Recreation Center.
"We see a huge influx during the first three weeks of the semester," said Jon Denning, the personal training program manager. "Students are trying to start the semester off on the right foot."
According to WedMD, one third of New Year's resolutions are to lose weight, and of that third, 15 percent of people consult a personal trainer to achieve their goals.
For two years Steve Hilburn, a third year law student from Goddard, consulted his personal trainer, graduate student Russell Emmons from Belt Plaine.
"Law school is stressful, and I wasn't working out," Hilburn said. "My aim is to mainly keep off weight and be generally healthy."
Emmons enjoys seeing his clients meet their goals of losing weight. However, it's a challenge to match up his schedule with his clients' schedules for training sessions and to make sure they workout on their own time as well. Training can provide useful instruction, but clients need to take
initiative to see results.
"A lot of people don't know what they're doing," said Emmons. "Training teaches proper technique and designs a program that fits a person's needs."
To beat the rush Denning encourages students to avoid peak times, which are from 3 to 7 p.m. Students can use a complimentary locker, towel, and shower service to help save time during busy class schedules.
"If you do decide to come to the rec center when it's busy, try to be patient or adjust your schedule to come in at a less busy time," said Denning. "Realize the machine or equipment you normally used might be occupied, so be prepared to change your workout on the fly."
The rec offers several programs and classes beginning Jan. 30 to help students' efforts to get back into shape. Students can sign up for boot camps, group fitness, cardio kickboxing, or small group weight loss. More information can be found at www.recreationku.edu.
For those starting a new work out regiment, Emmons emphasizes taking the first step and sticking with a routine no matter what.
"If you fall of the wagon, get back on it," Emmons said.

Downtown music hubs make a few changes
KELSEY CIPOLLA
This month, two mainstays of the Lawrence music scene get revamped.
Changes are coming to The Jackpot Saloon. The Massachusetts Street venue was recently taken over by new owners, Eric and Darla Berman, who aim to draw crowds, on nights without live music, by adding a pool table, dart boards and a jukebox.
kcipolla@kansan.com
"The music end of it is still going to be geared toward younger people and we're still going to be younger punk rock, heavy metal, garage rock," said Eric Berman. "It's going to be the kinds of things that teens and twenties are going to enjoy."
The Jackpot will still allow people 18 and over into shows, said Berman who grew up in the area and attended the University.
The Bottleneck is also attempting to increase its appeal outside of concerts by reintroducing star cards. The cards give the cardholder special perks like discounts, free merchandise and tickets throughout the year. Niche drink specials, like the once popular 49-er club, which gave club members perks after they sampled 49 of the bar's different micro-brewed and imported beers, will also be returning.
"Everybody who comes to Lawrence falls in love with Lawrence, and I'm certainly no different there." Berman said.
"We're trying to make more people aware of the Bottleneck and get more people to come in," said Ben Potter, the venue's new manager. "We've been making some changes around here. We want them to know that it's a better place to hang out now."
installing new televisions, an updated sound system and a lounge area, as well as an improved sports package to make The Bottleneck a more popular game-day destination. Potter said bigger shows will also be coming to the venue, thanks to a new booking agent.
Other changes include
Despite claims that changes to both venues will be small, not everybody is convinced that they are a good idea.
"I just hope it doesn't take away from the vibe of the Jackpot as a music bar," said Joe Groniger, a sophomore from Topeka. "I think that's a smart business decision, but I also think it's also important to keep those venues alive. I mean, Nirvana played at The Bottleneck. You've got to keep some of that history."

HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 7
A leisurely day taken at a slow pace goes over nicely today. Handle the basics and devote more time than usual to long walks, sitting in silence and doing "nothing."
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is a 7
Don't let a minor disagreement mess up your plans. If you break your word, clean it up. You'll feel better right away. Communication's key.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7
Don't spend your stash on momentary pleasures.
Postpone romance for a few days and clean house (avoid an argument). Make popcorn at home. Indulge selfish pursuits.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
Compromise may seem impossible. It could be a good time to ask an expert for help. Sometimes it's wise to not try to do it all yourself.
Resting can be good too.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6
Don't issue orders; barter instead. Travel's not advised. Things aren't as you thought. A productive morning handles routine home and work tasks. A quiet night rejuvenates.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today is an 8
There could be romantic misunderstandings, or some kind of a barrier. Your money's not required. Don't get discouraged. Patience and a sense of humor get you farther.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 7 Slow and steady does it. Practical considerations have your attention. You may need to get dirty. You may discover limitations. Imagine the finished product.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 9
Get the work done one step at a time. Take regular breaks to increase productivity. Avoid getting into a needless argument with a loved one.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.21)
Today is a 5
On your way to king of the hill, be considerate. Your eagerness to succeed could create trouble. Avoid impulsiveness with money and love. Slow and steady does it
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 5
Sometimes it's fine to hide away and be pensive. Today might be one of those days.
Be mindful of what you say now so that you don't have to recant later.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 16)
Today is a 7
Avoid being too demanding in your relationships. Pick your self up by your bootstraps, or find a friend to help you get back on the horse. It's easier this next time around.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
Choose love and community over fortune. They're worth more, especially today. Write down your thoughts to avoid forgetting the good stuff. Take it easy.

Yesterday's Cryptoquip: IF A WOMAN WRITES
PRODUCT ARTICLES FOR CONSUMER REPORTS,
YOU MIGHT SAY SHE'S A LADY IN RATING.
The concept of "social listening" is a modern day twist on the days when friends got together to take turns playing music for each other. A Saturday night's entertainment meant bringing a stack of albums
today's Cryptoquip Clue: U equals Y
"You can listen to the same song, at the exact same time." Alexandre Roche, a product designer at Facebook, wrote in a blog post last week announcing the new feature, "so when your favorite vocal part comes in you can experience it together, just like when you're jamming out at a performance or dance club"
But in a move that shows the pendulum is swinging back toward a more social listening experience, Facebook just rolled out a feature that allows users to listen to music online with their friends — and host virtual DJ parties.
MEDIA
FACEBOOK OFFERS 'SOCIAL LISTENING'
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Everywhere you look, people are going about their lives to the tunes of their own personal soundtrack. They sweat through "YMCA" at the gym, pound out programming code to Rammstein's brutal beats and nurse broken hearts with a mournful Bach cello concerto.
In the last few decades, technology has transformed music from a social gathering experience to an intensely solitary one in which donning a pair of headphones in public is equivalent to shouting. "Leave me alone!"
and a six-pack to someone's house.
On Facebook, listeners can be miles away, engaged in different activities but still be sharing a narrow slice of life.
"Someone else can be going about whatever they are doing, and through music, you can just jump into that reality and experience what they're experiencing." Roche said in an interview. "If they're having a bad day, you can experience that with them. If they see that a friend is listening with them, it might even brighten their day."
The key is in simultaneous listening. It's a concept that until recently has run counter to the nature of the Internet and other modern conveniences that have allowed people to time-shift their lives as easily as pressing the pause button on TiVo. Birthday messages can be written months in advance and scheduled for delivery on the appointed date. An entire year's worth of "Entourage" can be vacuumed in one sitting.
For Facebook, the feature hints at the company's ambition to be the online entertainment hub of the future.

Robber threatens with staph infection
SHARON, Pa. — Police said a man tried to rob a western Pennsylvania gambling parlor by threatening to sored a staph infection.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 41-year-old Fred Parker, of Coolspring Township.
Sharon police Chief Mike Menster says Parker then threatened to infect the cashier if he didn't give Parker money. The chief tells The Herald newspaper of Sharon, "It's our first case of robbery by threat of an infectious disease."
Police said he walked into Lucky's Internet Cafe in Sharon on Monday night and began touching the walls and gambling machines, claiming he was MRSA — a serious staph infection that resists antibiotics.

FORMER MISS USA FACES DUI CHARGES
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. — Former Miss USA Rima Fakih on Wednesday made an initial appearance in a Detroit-area courtroom in a drunken driving case that lawyers said could be resolved with a plea deal.
Judge Brigette Officer set a March 14 trial date, but lawyers on both sides said they planned to talk in an attempt to end the case sooner.
Fakih, 26, declined to answer reporters' questions after the hearing, which was held in the Detroit enclave of Highland Park.
"I apologize. My lawyer doesn't want me to talk."
"Of course she's remorseful," Culpepper said. "She's a model for young women. ... She's a woman of substantial character."
Defense lawyer W. Otis Culpepper said he will prepare for a trial, but knows a plea bargain is possible. He said he anticipates that a "proper conclusion" will be reached.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Before the hearing, assistant city attorney Mohammed A. Nasser told The Associated Press that he hadn't spoken to Culpepper about how they might resolve the case, and he told the judge a plea deal hadn't been offered.
Former Miss USA Rima Fakih appears with her attorney William Culpepper before Judge Brigette Officer during a hearing on a drunken drive charge at 30th District Court in Highland Park, Mich. Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2012. The judge set a March 14 trial date, but lawyers on both sides said they planned to talk in an attempt to resolve the case sooner.
Police said Fakih was driving 60 mph and weaving in and out of traffic without signaling when they pulled her over Dec. 3. Officers reported finding an open bottle of champagne on the floor behind the driver's seat of her 2011 Jaguar.
Fakith denied that she had been drinking, but one breath test put her blood alcohol content to be 0.20 percent and another put it slightly lower, but still above the
state's legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Fakik was born in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. in 1993 with her family. After settling in New York, the family moved to Michigan in 2003. She won the Miss USA Pageant in May 2010,
and her reign ended last June. She was the first Miss Michigan to win the title since 1993 and the first Arab-American winner ever.

Movie ideas to win an automatic Oscar award
FILM
The fall movie season is upon us showering us with film after film trying to strike that perfect balance between popular and good that will get it nominated for an academy award. Some films like "The Muppets" look good, but lack the pretension to be noticed by the Academy; some films look like they're trying way, way too hard to win such as "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close"; and some films look like they could not care less what a bunch of old men at the Academy think like "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
At any rate, there looks to be a dearth of good movies this year, so I've decided to help the movie industry by pitching some sure-fire and, dare I say, brilliant ideas for scripts.
"Opposite Day:" This film would
oe a standard action movie up through the halfway point, where the villains have our hero dead in some evil lair. As they inject a deadly poison into his veins, one of the villain's lackeys busts in and shouts "You idiots; it's opposite day! That poison you injected just made him invincible!" Now indestructible, the hero goes around wailing on bad guys, but because it is still opposite day, his attempts to kill people actually save their lives and his attempts to save people get them killed. Also, it might have to be called "Not Opposite Day" because you can't say its opposite day on opposite day. As Albert Einstein once said, "Opposite day is confusing."
Lou Schumaker
"Attack of the Werehuman": This is a standard werewolf movie, but with the roles reversed.
Instead of a human being bitten by a werewolf, a wolf is bitten by a werehuman. Every full moon, the wolf transforms into a fully grown adult human wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Also, instead of going out and killing a bunch of people like a werewolf, they go buy groceries and do their taxes. As a bonus, if it gets made within the next couple of weeks, it can be out in time for Halloween!
"Reel Steal:" As you (probably) know, the film "Real Steel" was released earlier this month. That film was about robots fighting each other or something. My film "Reel Steal", however, is a group of criminals pulling the largest movie reel heist in history. They can even steal movies about people stealing things for that extra level meta-theater stuff people love. And because filmmakers love movies about movies, the Oscar is pretty much in the bag with this one.
"The Final Final Destination:" The Final Destination movies follow a pretty basic plot: someone has a vision of people dying, they save them, and Death hunts down said people because the circle of life must be maintained. My film would open with the entire Earth
being destroyed by an asteroid, only to reveal it is just the dream of a young man. He wakes up and rushes to a NASA observatory to warn them about their approaching doom, giving humanity time to send off a rocket to destroy the asteroid. Then, Death begins hunting down those who were saved, but instead of a small group of attractive young people, it's literally everyone on the planet.
So that's my pitch. I'm not saying those are the four best ideas anyone has ever come up with, but, if you ask me, those are the four best ideas anyone has ever come up with.

Journey to the Antarctic
One hundred years ago, mankind reached the south pole
December 2011 and January 2012 mark the centennial celebration of mankind's reaching the South Pole. During the time known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian polar explorer, and Robert Falcon Scott, an English naval officer, independently reached the south pole on Dec. 14, 1911 and Jan. 16, 1912 respectively. Scott and Amundsen were some of the most audacious and adventurous men to grace their times.
In September 1909, Amunsen received news that Robert Peary had reached the North

Pole. While A m u n d sen was officially on a scientific research expedition, his hopes of being the first to reach the
Even after surviving frostbite, malnutrition, and isolation, they still had to battle giant crevasses in the ice crust.
North Pole were shattered. In severe debt, Amundsen secretly ended his arctic expedition and made his way to the south pole. At this time Scott, unknowing of Amundsen's personal mission, was organizing the Terra Nova expedition to Antarctica. Scott would only find out he was in a race from a troubling telegram he received in Melbourne, Australia from Amundsen. As a courtesy, Amundsen simply stated that he was heading to the Antarctic, but Scott knew why.
At first, the journey was relatively uneventful, but soon both parties met with devastating obstacles. Even after surviving frostbite, malnutrition, and isolation, they still had to battle giant crevasses in the ice crust. These bottomless cracks in the surface ranged from
a few inches wide to large enough to swallow a complete sledge and dog team instantly. Often, they were covered by a thin sheet of ice impossible to see in the blizzard conditions and contained giant ice spikes. Once within roughly 340 miles of the pole, the teams
met with a towering mountain range with peaks up to 15,000 feet.
Scott, having extremely little dog handling experience, opted to bring Siberian ponies, motorized sledges,
and only a few dogs. None of the animals or motorized sledges would make it through the first part of his expedition. By the last leg of Scott's journey, he and his men would have to physically drag 200 pounds of supplies on each sledge in knee deep snow up a 10,000 foot glacier. While Scott was very bold, and very smart, his lack of experience would seal his fate. Amundsen's firsthand experience in the arctic was essential to his success. He managed to make it to the pole by starting with four sledges at 13 dogs each. Both would use a combination of compasses and dead reckoning, a navigation system similar to Euler's method, to determine their final position.
Amundsen soon reached the
South Pole and found a significantly easier trip home. Scott was not so lucky. When Scott reached the pole, he was met with a Norwegian flag and a note from Amundsen stating the date of his arrival, 33 days prior to Scott's. With down-turned heads, the team marched home, but ultimately starvation, exhaustion, and weather took its toll on their minds and bodies. No one from Scott's team made it home alive. Scott may have been ill-prepared, but he would become a legend for his heroic attempt. While Amundsen underhandedly struck out for glory, he still made it to the pole first and managed to make it home alive.
The South Pole and Antarctica has a long history of scientific study. Both Scott and Amundsen conducted many experiments concerning the continent prior to their quest to reach the pole. As part of this long tradition, University of Kansas researchers have visited the continent several times. Dr. David Besson, of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has visited the South Pole multiple times to work on the IceCube neutrino observatory as well as with members of the KU Instrumentation Design Laboratory to construct a wind and solar power station for the Askaryan Radio Array neutrino observatory. Additionally, Dr. Mark Ewing and researchers from the Department of Aerospace Engineering recently returned from Antarctica where they were performing flight testing of the Meridian Unmanned Aerial System.

LITERATURE
Novel discusses humanity's flaws
Set in various far-reaching corners of New York City as the Vietnam War draws to a close, "Let the Great World Spin" is a wonderful and energetic novel in which author Colum McCann reveals the perplexities of human behavior when confronted with tragic realities.
McCann's story-telling approach is a rare one. Rather than using the conventional main protagonist, linear story line and single narrative point-of-view, he divides the novel into chapters each centering on a different character, with each one more different than the last. The story features Irish Catholic

Taylor defends his game to fans on Twitter
KANSAS
SUONERS
1. Taylor sits on the bench during the Jayhawks game against Oklahoma at the Lloyd Nobel Center in Norman, Okla. This is the second game that Taylor sat out because of his suspension.
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
You would be hard pressed to find a more polarizing Kansas player in recent memory than Tyshawn Taylor. Certainly not in the Bill Self era. Maybe not in the last 20 years. There have been players with more illustrious careers and there have certainly been players with more off court issues than Taylor. But the senior guard from Hoboken, N.J. has combined the two in a way that has made his time in Lawrence eventful more often than not.
He's a fourth-year starter who has been on three Big 12 championship teams and is working on a fourth. He's only lost 17 games in a Jayhawk uniform but is one of the most criticized college basketball players in the country. The root of those criticisms — however fair or unfair — is easy to find. Taylor has the athleticism of an NBA guard. He makes plays that leave you scratching your head trying to figure out how he pulled them off, and he blows by defenders with a lightning-quick first step.
"That dude can get to the paint," coach Bill Self said.
Self said Taylor can get to the paint better than any player he's had at Kansas, even Sherron Collins.
But Taylor's speed, athleticism, and knack for jaw-dropping plays are oftentimes teamed with stretches of bone-headed mistakes where his passes find the third row of seats rather than his intended target.
"He makes plays you can't coach," Self said. "And then he makes plays where it looks like he's never been coached."
And that might be where the criticism begins. Fans see a player with NBA talent commit mental errors and can't figure out why, and Taylor forgets that being the starting point guard at Kansas means everything he does and says is magnified intensely. Throw in social networking sites like Twitter that allow fans and players to interact through a computer screen or cell phone, and sometimes bad things happen. Taylor isn't always able to ignore angry fans — a term
that can sometimes be used loosely in a world of complete anonymity — and while the unknown critics are forgotten, Taylor's words are plastered on message boards and newspaper headlines for all to see.
After receiving a handful of unflattering messages on Twitter
a few weeks ago, Taylor responded
Friday night before playing
Oklahoma on Jan. 7:
"If half (the people) that talk about ball could actually ball ... I'd appreciate y'all comments and criticism more but y'all can't. You stuck to being a fan.
"Once again I repeat ... if you can go out there and lace 'em up ... I'll accept the constructive criticism ... but since v'all can well ... yeah."
Taylor has said he's done arguing with fans on Twitter and has played four games since doing so. He's averaging 20 points, 5.7 assists,
and just 3.7 turnovers, a far cry from the 8 turnover performance against Kansas State to open Big 12 play. Most importantly, the Jayhawks are 5-0 in the conference, and Taylor may have found a way to quiet those critics better than a 140-character response.
"The turnovers don't come up too much when we're winning," he said.

Senior swimmers hold back their tears and top Nebraska
Jayhawks take top three in 200-yard individual medley
ALEC TILSON editor@kansan.com
That decision proved important as Kansas defeated Nebraska 155-145, just three days after returning from a tough eight-day training trip in Mayaguez, Puerto
Instead of letting the emotion of last Saturday's Senior Day dual meet against Nebraska affect their performance, the four seniors on Kansas' swim and dive team talked days before their last competitive meet in Robinson Natatorium and agreed to hold back the tears.
"It wasn't our last meet of the season so it's not emotional," senior Shannon Garlie said. "It was more a celebration, so it helped that we didn't cry."
Even after a difficult training camp, travel days and little rest, the team found the energy it needed to win the meet against the Cornhuskers.

With two events remaining in the meet, coach Clark Campbell knew the team needed to take the top three spots in the 200-yard individual medley to get to 151 points, the minimum score to win the 300 point meet, and put the match out of reach.
Sure enough, junior Brooke Brull took first, senior Stephanie Payne second and junior Brittany

Kansas travels to Fayetteville, Ark., this weekend to face a top 20 program, the Arkansas Razorbacks. Campbell looks for his team to stay within themselves and focus on their own races.
Seniors Sarah Hettenbach and Kath Liggett also competed for the final time at home.
"Our kids have got to keep the race in their lane," Campbell said. "If we focus on being the best we can be, we'll be OK."

What do baseball icons George Brett, Roberto Clemente, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, and Stan Musial all have in common? They are part of the select few in baseball who played their entire career with one organization.
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
When Derek Jeter's 3,000th hit soared over the left field wall last season, not only did he become the 28th player in baseball history to achieve this milestone, not only was he the first to do it in pinstripes, not only did he achieve it while only playing shortstop, but what's most remarkable, and often overlooked, is that he got every one of those hits while playing for one organization, the New York Yankees. For a player to be as successful as he has been, with the stress and pressure that comes with playing in the
spotlight of New York is not something many could do.
In today's game, the idea of a player remaining with a single organization his whole career is something most baseball fans would laugh about. However, if you look at some of the greatest to have played the game, you'll find that many of them were able to do it with one team. In recent years, though, we rarely come across a player who ends their career where it started. According to MLB.com, since 2000, only Cal Ripken Jr., Edgar
Martinez, Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell, Bernie Williams, and newly elected hall of famer, Barry Larkin have done it.
Why?
The culture of the game has changed, starting with the agents. Baseball is full of greedy agents, like Scott Boras, who will do just about anything to ensure that their client goes to the team that's best for them, which is often the highest bidder. Flashback a few years and you'll find that players were being traded with less frequency because there wasn't the same financial emphasis on contracts because players weren't being paid much anyway. Take a guy like Babe Ruth, for example — arguably the best player to step foot on a diamond. The highest he was ever paid was $80,000 by the Yankees. Now guys like Alex Rodriguez are getting paid $32
million for one season. Add in free agency and general managers whose phones are ringing left and right, and the result is players that are always on the move. A player's age also factors into
KU
whether or not they stay put, as general managers are looking to move older players in exchange for younger prospects.
There's something special about a player who is able to play under one organization. For the player it means the organization thinks very highly of them, so much so that they are willing to invest to keep them on their roster. For the organization it means that they have a player who not only likes where he is playing, but serves as a role model for the city and the younger players in the clubhouse — that's something
that you can't put a price tag on.
The decline of players like these is something that I feel is unfortunate, but it's just a reflection on how the game has changed. There's only a handful of active players right now that I can see retiring as one-team athletes: Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Chipper Jones, and Todd Helton.

Paralyzed man reaches South Pole in new way
RENO. Nev. — A Nevada man paralyzed in a 2010 snowmobiling accident has reached the South Pole, traveling about 75 miles in sub-zero temperatures over two weeks to complete the trip on the 100th anniversary of Capt. Robert Falcon Scott's trek there with the Terra Nova Expedition.
Grant Korgan, who is paralyzed from the waist down, used a device called a sit-ski to reach the pole 100 years to the
day after the British explorer completed the journey on Jan. 17, 1912.
"Although my body has been broken, my spirit never will be. I am unbreakable!" Korgan, 33, of Incline Village, said in a statement posted on the crew's Web site.
Korgan's expedition party included paralympian John Davis, two guides and cinematographers who are shooting for a documentary called "The Push: A South Pole Adventure." The film is expected to be released later this year.
The team trained for a year with various missions in Alaska, Norway, Lake Tahoe and South America. Korgan estimated he'd have to push the sit-ski approximately 250,000 times over the course of the trip.
"Grant just pulled off one of the most amazing athletic achievements in modern history and a first for adaptive athletes," said Steven Siig, director of the documentary film.
"This is a historic day in the name of recovery, technology, adventure and the
human potential," he said.
The challenge was intended to help raise money for the California-based nonprofit High Fives Foundation, which helps injured winter athletes recover and get back to their sport. It also supports the Reeve Irvine Research Center, a science research facility at University of California, Irvine devoted to the study of repair, regeneration and recovery of function after spinal cord injury.

Sports Illustrated writer grades Weis hire an 'F'
With all coaching changes that have reverberated throughout college football the last few months, Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated looked at each hire and graded each school's decision. For instance, he gave Washington State's hire of the former Kansas possibility Mike Leach an A+.
When he came to Charlie Weis, he had a different opinion. Mandel gave Athletic Director Sheen Zenger an F. He highlighted Weis' poor record at Notre Dame in 2007 (3-9) and said Weis hasn't been
able to consistently develop young players at the college level. If Weis did succeed, Mandel argued, he would apparently bolt to the NFL shortly

COMMENTARY Aiming for a new culture
By C.J. Matson
cimatson@kansan.com
It has been a laughing stock and the brunt of jokes for most of its history, but the Kansas football program is making strides toward eliminating its petty past and acquiring future fortune.
Kansas football had always been the bitter-tasting appetizer that inexplicably compliments the deliciously tender main course meal, basketball. Athletic administrations of the past seemed content with football futility despite the numerous coaching changes because basketball was the school's prized crown jewel.
Sheahon Zenger clearly had enough of that.
As a former football coach, you knew, deep down, Zenger was humiliated to watch the team embarrass itself with Memorial Stadium barely filled to capacity.
The college sports landscape is evolving and football is primarily responsible for the metamorphosis. Zenger understood that future football futility would hinder Kansas athletics' ability to compete with other Division I schools because football is the main source of revenue for athletics programs. Zenger isn't satisfied only participating in a BCS conference. He wants on-and off-the-field success so the program is respectable and relevant.
It's certainly not a stigma, but when a school is considered a basketball powerhouse, it's implied that the football program is putrid.
Enter Charlie Weis.
Weis wanted a challenge and leading the Kansas football program to success is one of the biggest. He also sought a second chance at head coaching. Despite a winning record at Notre Dame, his tenure was publicly deemed a failure. His history as an assistant coach in the NFL is superb and college football players look for coaches or programs that will help them toward a long, productive NFL career.
Football players, especially quarterbacks, recognize Weis' pedigree. He is largely responsible for Tom Brady's stellar career. Quarterbacks Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps and wide receiver Justin McCay transferred from Notre Dame, BYU and Oklahoma respectively to Kansas mainly because of Charlie Weis. Weis pro-style offense translates to the NFL and learning pro-style schemes in college makes the transition easier.
College football teams filled with highly talented and skilled players with pro prospects usually make frequent trips to bowl games. Kansas has never had that consistency because it has lacked players with pro prospects. Football recruits are eager to play for schools that pride themselves in football because they don't want to be in the shadow of basketball players.
However, with Weis at the helm, Kansas football is now on the radar. The program may not have immediate success, but recruits and transfers will now consider Kansas because Weis knows how to develop players into NFL prospects.
A new vibe is surrounding Kansas football. This has arguably been the biggest offseason in Kansas football history, and fans are excited for the Weis era to commence. The college football community can now pay heed to Kansas Jayhawks football.

Kansas turned to two historic performances in the paint to lead them past a determined Oklahoma State squad as they advanced to their best conference record under coach Bonnie Henrickson.
The layhawks won their third road conference game with a 65-60 victory in Stillwater, Okla. They advanced to 4-1 to start conference play for the first time since 1996-1997. They also move to 3-0 in Big 12 road games.
"Our experience gives us motivation for the next game," Senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. "It shows us that we are good and we have it in our head that we are a great team that can beat people on the road."
Henrickson said that from a resiliency standpoint she is really impressed with the team and how they have started the season.
"I think we have seen growth and maturation from this group." Henrickson said.
Sutherland thrived in the paint pulling down a career-high 22 rebounds in addition to with 15 points. She alone accounted for 22 of the 34 team rebounds and 19 of the 26 defensive rebounds.
Carolyn Davis only had four rebounds, but achieved another historic feat. She pulled down her 500th rebound in the first half and became just the 14th Jayhawk to have more than 1,000 points and more than 500 rebounds in a season.
"It feels great," Sutherland said. "I have always gone to the boards, but to be able to get that many is amazing to me and it motivates me to get boards constantly and it excites me to be able to do something like that for my team and help us win."
Davis, who led Kansas with 18 points, joked that she deserved more credit for helping Sutherland achieve her impressive numbers.
"I told her I need to get credited for a couple assists because a couple of times I blocked out
my guy so she could get to it, or I tipped it to her so I told her to give me a half a rebound or something," Davis said.
The Cowgirls held their opponents to an average 30.7 shooting percentage entering the game, but the Jayhawks navigated their defense and continued their nation leading trend hitting 48.1 percent from the field.
The Jayhawks had their way inside and outscored the Cowgirls 44-28 in the paint behind Davis and Sutherland. The guards brought their own threat hitting 4 of 9 from beyond the arc.
"Every game we go in and we know that is the game plan: we have to dominate in the paint, and I think Aishah and me are doing a great job with that," Davis said.
The Jayhawks jumped out to a quick 10-4 lead by the first break and extended their lead to 12 in the first half. But they weathered several runs by the Cowgirls through the rest of the game as their lead fluctuated from 12 points all the way down to one, but the Jayhawks sealed the win with two free throws from Goodrich in the final seconds.
Turnovers crept back into the Kansas game and provided some late opportunities for an Oklahoma State comeback.
Sutherland lost control as the ball rolled out of bounds for the Jayhawks' 19th turnover with under two minutes left, but it was two more turnovers from the Cowgirls that gave way to a 7-0 run as the Jayhawks solidified their lead.
Edited by Amanda Gage
"That's how fragile the games are," Henrickson said. If we catch a couple of those we probably have an eight or 10 point cushion with under six minutes left, but we didn't and we still had to find a way to win."
The Jayhawks will host the defending national champion Texas A&M Aggies at 7 p.m. on Saturday. It will be alumni day for Kansas.

It took Kansas football coach Charlie Weis over a month, but after hiring Dave Campo, he now has the coach in charge of turning around the unit that finished last in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total yards allowed and scoring defense.
"I was looking for a concept and once I saw somebody I knew and that I could trust, that fit that concept." Weis said. "I knew it would be right."
Campo comes to the Jayhawks after spending the previous 23 seasons at the professional level, including the last four as the secondary coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

'You're right, I'm not ready to be
done coaching yet.'
This is the second time Campo has left the Cowboys organization. The first time came after he was fired after three seasons as
coach following in 2002.
Campo initially joined the Cowboys as the secondary coach in 1989, following Jimmi Johnson from the Miami Hurricanes, where they were the 1987 National Champions.
In his time with the Cowboys, Campo won three Super Bowls and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1995 before his unsuccessful tenure as head coach. Campo spent stints on the coaching staffs of the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars before returning to the Cowboys in 2008.
"I wanted somebody that speaks the same language as me," Weis said. "He certainly speaks the same language as me. He's significantly older than me, obviously. We speak the same language, we've known each other

Matt Cole, an employee at US Bank on Massachusetts Street, estimated that 10 of the 50 bank employees will purchase parking passes.
With the construction of an apartment building at 9th and New Hampshire Streets and the proposed construction of a hotel across the street, parking downtown may soon become more limited.
Purchasing of parking permits varies from business to business.
"Most employees park on top of the garage." Cole said. Cole doubted more employees would buy passes.

"We've purchased permits since the parking garage was built," Debbie Anderson said. Anderson said that when the business first purchased permits both the roof level and third level of the garage were open to permits. The roof level is now open for free parking.
Anderson said the only time she has trouble parking in the garage is during parades.
The office of Curtis Anderson Optometrist purchases parking permits for the three employees that work the most often.
"That made me question whether we were getting our money's worth," she said.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
However, with Weis at the helm, Kansas football is now on the radar. The program may not have immediate success, but recruits and transfers will now consider Kansas because Weis knows how to develop players into NFL prospects.
A new vibe is surrounding Kansas football. This has arguably been the biggest offseason in Kansas football history, and fans are excited for the Weis era to commence. The college football community can now pay heed to Kansas Jayhaws football.

{From the Editor}
Edited by Pat Strathman
After I was hired to be editor of Jayplay for the Spring 2012 semester, I was excited about all the changes I wanted to make. I was told the magazine itself would get a complete redesign and that made me think the content needed some refreshing as well.
Initially I wanted my personality to jump from the pages. I kept thinking about how great it would be for students to open up that magazine and just get the vibe I was responsible for the new Jayplay content. Who wouldn't want a sarcastic and slightly pessimistic tone underlying the entire magazine, right?
After reevaluating, I started to think that maybe that wouldn't be such a good
Under my reign as editor, I bet Jayplay would turn into a mock fest and I am fairly certain that is not the direction anyone really wants it to head in. With the help of my associate editor and a killer design staff, I did end up changing Jayplay quite a bit. I hope you all flip through the magazine and enjoy the playful direction we all settled on.
I am the type of person who would change Wescoe Wit so that it isn't anonymous because I think that is funny to know which person said that outrageous, bizarre, or downright idiotic statement. Or I would have more stories in the "Love" department about couples who start to look like each other but then they also start to look like their sad, little dog because I have a hard time taking cutesy couples seriously.
idea. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a little rough around the edges. I've been told on several occasions that I am too honest for my own good. By that, I mean I have a tendency to keep it real, and often keeping it real goes wrong. Dave Chappelle can back me up on that.

College football teams filled with highly talented and skilled players with pro prospects usually make frequent trips to bowl games. Kansas has never had that consistency because it has lacked players with pro prospects. Football recruits are eager to play for schools that pride themselves in football because they don't want to be in the shadow of basketball players.

It took Kansas football coach Charlie Weis over a month, but after hiring Dave Campo, he now has the coach in charge of turning around the unit that finished last in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total yards allowed and scoring defense.
"I was looking for a concept and once I saw somebody I knew and that I could trust, that fit that concept." Weis said. "I knew it would be right."
Campo comes to the lajahawks after spending the previous 23 seasons at the professional level, including the last four as the secondary coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
to return to the college ranks instead of taking an upper level organizational role under Cowboys owner and General Manager jerry Jones.
Weis convinced Campo

"I knew that Jerry would want

'You're right, I'm not ready to be done coaching yet."
This is the second time Campo has left the Cowboys organization. The first time came after he was fired after three seasons as
--coach following in 2002.
Campo initially joined the Cowboys as the secondary coach in 1989, following Jimmy Johnson from the Miami Hurricanes, where they were the 1987 National Champions.
"I wanted somebody that speaks the same language as me," Weis said. "He certainly speaks the same language as me. He's significantly older than me, obviously. We speak the same language, we've known each other
In his time with the Cowboys, Campo won three Super Bowls and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1995 before his unsuccessful tenure as head coach. Campo spent stints on the coaching staffs of the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars before returning to the Cowboys in 2008.
NOTABLE PLAYERS UNDER CAMPO

DARREN WOODSON: 4-time all-pro selection, 5-time pro-bowl selection

NFL.
TERENGE NEWMAN: 2009 prn-bowl selection under Campo. Recorded his best statistical season in 2010 with 77 tackles and 5 interceptions in 2010, both career highs.
RASHEAN MATHIS: Had his best season under Campo in 2006 when he was named to the all-pro team, selected to the pro-bowl, tied for third in the NFL with eight interceptions.

In $ \sigma $ intro to his duties as defensive coordinator, Campo will also be in charge of the defensive secondary, where he
will try and improve a unit that finished the season ranked 110th in the nation in pass defense.

The Celebrity Dish: Mates of State's Kori Gardner // Sasha Lune
Kori Gardner makes up one half of the husband and wife duo Mates of State, which has released seven albums in its 15-year span. The latest album, Mountaintops, was released in September 2011. The band is known for its piano-oriented indie pop sound and the couple's male/female vocal harmony.
College football teams filled with highly talented and skilled players with pro prospects usually make frequent trips to bowl games. Kansas has never had that consistency because it has lacked players with pro prospects. Football recruits are eager to play for schools that pride themselves in football because they don't want to be in the shadow of basketball players.

WHAT IS THE BEST PIECE OF RELATIONSHIP ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE STUDENTS?
It's something that, as a kid, my parents said. I remember thinking it didn't seem that important but the number one thing is communication. Say what's on your mind and be able to deliver it in a way that you're both open to hearing.
It's funny, people think we write love songs for each other. That's a misconception about our band, but there have been a few. There's one on our latest album, "Total Serendipity", about the beginning of our relationship. The way for us to write about each other is to reflect, and be collaborative about it.

NFL and learning pro-style schemes in college makes the transition easier.
Can tablets that are on the market and various penis pumps enlarge your penis by girth and length?
DEAR MICHELLE.
Sincerelv.
Allude to the existence of a penis by checking the box "male" for anything online, and the spam will come to you! Natural Penis Enlargement! Maxxx Force Natural Supplement! Pills for Male Enhancement! Penis Exercise Program! Unfortunately, there is very little evidence to support claims that any non-surgical methods (pill, cream, or pump) will enlarge your penis. Also, cosmetic surgical enlargement procedures are not endorsed by any reputable member of the medical community.
Penis Pumping Ponderer
Fearing not being large enough to satisfy your partner is not uncommon. In fact, I believe the phrase, "It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean" was created by a man. Blame it on the porn, but studies show men have an exaggerated understanding of what is considered a "normal" sized penis,
when they actually fit into the "normal" category. According to the Mayo Clinic, the average length of a penis measures between 3 and 5 inches when not erect, and between 5 and 7 inches when erect. A penis is considered small when measuring less than 3 inches erect, a condition called micropenis.
When considering a method for penis pumping potential, be wary of the following:
DEAR PPP.
Vacuum pumps: Draws blood into the penis to make it swell. Using a penis pump more often and for longer than typically used for erectile dysfunction can damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to less-firm erections.
01
19
12
4
Pills and lotions: None of these products has been proved to work, and some may be harmful.
Exercises: Sometimes called jelqing, these exercises use a hand-over-hand motion to push blood from the base to the head of your penis. Although this technique appears safer than other methods, it can lead to scar formation, pain and disfigurement.
Stretching: Stretching consists of attaching a stretcher or extender device to the penis. These devices exert traction on the penis. A few small studies have reported increases of half an inch to almost an inch (about 1 to 2 cm) in length with these devices. However, the studies are not of high quality and more rigorous research is needed before this technique can be considered safe and effective.
Whether you're above average, average, or below average in size, sex and intimacy involves more than penile penetration. Remember, women report being satisfied with around 12 minutes of actual penetration during sex. Foreplay (massage, oral stimulation, toys, etc.) may bring more pleasure to your partner than the actual penetration itself. Don't risk your health; just improve your other techniques!

Couples Advice:
Erin Gill and Scott Koelling // ALIZA CHUDNOW
Erin Gill, a junior from Prairie Village, was sitting in an applied behavioral science lecture class her freshman year expecting another ordinary class period. When the class was told to partner up, Erin gazed around the room to find a familiar face in the crowd, but after seeing everyone she knew already had a partner, she tapped the person next to her and with a smile asked if he wanted to work on the assignment together. The two hit it off, realizing they were both art majors and shared a love for the hit Broadway musical, Avenue Q.
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Erin's new partner was Scott Koelling, a junior from Dallas, and they have dated ever since. Two and a half years later, the couple upholds a strong relationship by maintaining balance between their relationship and the different activities they each partake in.
Dating Tip: It's all about trust, balance and giving each other space.
While one of Erin and Scott's favorite things to do together is to go down to Kansas City and explore the Plaza, they are still able to live separate lives and support each other in their individual endeavors. "If we are at a party, we can split up and talk to other people," Scott says. "We don't always have to sit on the couch, glued to each other's side."
Trust is everything in a relationship and throughout their years together, Erin and Scott have learned that it is extremely important not to lose their individuality in one another. "If he wants to stay at home and play X-box all day, I don't get mad, I do my own thing" Erin says. "So if I want to have a girl's night, I can do that without having to worry about him."
This couple proves that with a little balance and a lot of trust, a relationship can start off as ordinary as two strangers meeting in class and transform into something a little more extraordinary.

Get on the Right Foot
//Allison Bond
Attending class is one way to start your semester in the right direction.

SCHOOL CAMPUS
Several times throughout my college career thoughts of skipping class have fleetingly crossed my mind with excuses such as "I can afford to skip a class or two" or "I never get anything out of class when I do go". There have been several mornings where I thought I needed the extra sleep rather than going to class.
The shaking reality though is attending class can either make or break a grade. Steve Gladis, author of Surviving the First Year of College, offers several tips to making the most of college, one of them being the importance of attendance. In his book Steve states that, "Attendance is 95 percent of college academic life. If you skip class for one of a hundred excuses you may fabricate, you lose ... every time."
Andrea Wickstrom, a freshman from Prairie Village, says she hasn't skipped a class yet, despite the urge to. "There were some classes where we didn't end up doing anything important that I kinda wish I'd skipped. But if I had, I would have gotten into the habit of skipping, which would have brought down my grades because I would have missed important information." Andrea says.
To get the most out of attending classes try making friends early to form study groups when test time comes around or recording classes to help take good notes. Granted, attending every single class during college career seems a little unreasonable, but try to keep the excuses to a minimum.

Jubilee Café
//Allison Bond
Learn how students connect with the community one breakfast plate at a time.
My alarm goes off at 5 a.m. and I reluctantly get out of bed and head to Lawrence First United Methodist Church. I walk into the kitchen and my attitude immediately changes as I see the hustle and bustle of 10 students preparing a full breakfast for about 90 homeless people in the community. The kitchen begins to smell of eggs, bacon, hash browns and pancakes as it gets closer to 7 a.m., when breakfast is served. The energy in the room quickly doubles. A community comes together to share in one meal.
Jubilee Café, a KU student run organization, has been serving breakfast, on Tuesday and Friday mornings, to the Lawrence homeless community since 1994. Jubilee Café is unique in that it serves restaurant style to its customers. Each table has their own server, which provides a way for students to create connections and relationships with part of the community they normally wouldn't have contact with. It also helps show respect and builds up the dignity of the homeless community in Lawrence.
Paige Monnet, one of the coordinators this year, says, "I have been volunteering here almost 2 years. I just fell in love with it. The people here, the customers, plus working with the other volunteers, it was something I just really loved doing."
I couldn't agree more. Although it was an early Tuesday morning, it was a morning spent giving back to the community surrounded by people who had an enthusiasm for helping others.
Monnet says what really draws her to Jubilee Café is the idea that, "having a good meal to start your day is something that everyone should be able to have." Jubilee Café meets at the church Tuesdays and Fridays. If you're looking to help at Jubilee Café, Monnet says the best times to show up are at 5:15 a.m. to help cook or 6:30 to help serve breakfast. Walk-in volunteers are always welcome.

NFL and learning pro-style schemes in college makes the transition easier.
College football teams filled well, highly talented and skilled players with pro prospects usually make frequent trips to bowl games. Kansas has never had that consistency because it has lacked players with pro prospects. Football recruits are eager to play for schools that pride themselves in football because they don't want to be in the shadow of basketball players.
However, with Weis at the helm, Kansas football is now on the radar. The program may not have immediate success, but recruits and transfers will now consider Kansas because Weis knows how to develop players into NFL prospects.
A new vibe is surrounding Kansas football. This has arguably been the biggest offseason in Kansas football history, and fans are excited for the Weis era to commence. The college football community can now pay heed to Kansas Jayhawks football.
Seasoned coach to coordinate Jayhawk defense

It took Kansas football coach Charlie Weis over a month, but after hiring Dave Campo, he now has the coach in charge of turning around the unit that finished last in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total yards allowed and scoring defense.
"I was looking for a concept and once I saw somebody I knew and that I could trust, that fit that concept," Weis said. "I knew it would be right."
Campo comes to the Jayhawks after spending the previous 23 seasons at the professional level, including the last four as the secondary coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

'You're right, I'm not ready to be done coaching yet.'
This is the second time Campo has left the Cowboys organization. The first time came after he was fired after three seasons as
coach following in 2002.
Campo initially joined the Cowboys as the secondary coach in 1989, following Jimmy Johnson from the Miami Hurricanes, where they were the 1987 National Champions.
In his time with the Cowboys, Campo won three Super Bowls and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1995 before his unsuccessful tenure as head coach. Campo spent stints on the coaching staffs of the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars before returning to the Cowboys in 2008.
"I wanted somebody that speaks the same language as me," Weis said. "He certainly speaks the same language as me. He's significantly older than me, obviously. We speak the same language, we've known each other

Better Options for Bad Situations DRY SKIN
// CHRISTY NUTT
Winter comes with some unavoidable irritations, but dry skin doesn't have to be one of those inevitable irritations you just accept with the cold weather. Simple showering and moisturizing habits can help relieve the ashy, dry winter blues.
Jordon Wade, a graduate student from Charlotte, N.C., says she notices her skin becoming dry as the weather gets cold. Wade says she uses hemp seed oil and natural lotions, and avoids showering everyday to keep her skin from becoming too dry.
Lee Bittenbender, a dermatologist from Lawrence Dermatology Center on Iowa St., says taking shorter showers less often can prevent skin from becoming dry. Showering with warm water instead of hot water and using less soap can also help keep skin moist during all seasons.
Bittenbender says it is okay to only use soap around the groan and armpits. "You really don't need soap all over unless you've been working in a field all day," Bittenbender says.
Moisturizing immediately after getting out of the shower helps lock moisture into the skin. Bittenbender recommends using a mineral oil before drying off and then using a lotion after drying off.
Bittenbender says the kind of lotion to use is mostly a personal preference, but the most effective lotions contain alphahydroxy acid and lactic acid.
If dry skin progresses from an annoyance to becoming red and inflamed you should see a dermatologist.

ENGINEERING A NEW BUILDING
"A deep blue sea full of apathy and awkward band shirts."
That's only one way to define "the hipster", says Seth Wiley, junior from Topeka.
Sporting a Santa Fe button-up western shirt over an obscure band shirt, Wiley insists he isn't a hipster even though his friends characterize him as such. Some may say he enjoys the off-beat aspects of life. He "digs" emotion-filled live, performances by bands like Future Islands, and Chromeo, a dance funk band inspired by the 80s. The vocabulary amongst his friends consists of words like diglet, snozberry, tasty, and juicy, all of these words meaning cool.
Wiley's lifestyle is about going against the mainstream "flow." He finds it too easy to follow trends and fit in with the crowd. "Sometimes you have to go against the flow to find pieces of gold, kind of like pan handlers in that kind of sense," Wiley says.
The definition of "hipster" is subjective to each hipster. To some people it's about listening to anti-mainstream music. To others it's simply about an eccentric and "hip" fashion sense. The key to identifying a hipster is finding one who will not identify as a hipster. This is not supposed to be riddle.
I started off researching 'the hipster' wondering how much more to it could there be than skinny jeans and thick-framed glasses. Turns out, a lot.
what was the hipster?
Today's hipster has roots in the late 1940s through the 60s.
Mark Greif, leading author of a book written by many authors. What was the Hipster? and founder of youth culture magazine n+1, says the term "hipster" was originally used to describe African Americans who used music and fashion to withdraw from a dominant "square" culture. Then hipsters became the white people who wanted to emulate these African Americans.
"Hip" individuals liked avant-garde jazz at a time where this type of music was considered suspicious, Greif says. They wore clothes out of the ordinary like sunglasses at night, berets and pork pie hats, a type of fedora with a cylindrical crown and flat top. Hipsters knew about unconventional things that were foreign to the "square" world like jazz, poetry and marijuana. The most famous original hipsters were beatniks like Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, who spent 16 years of his life in Lawrence.
Language played a large role in hipsterism. Greif references A Portrait of a Hipster, an essay by the late Anatole Broyard, when describing hip slang. Broyard described this slang as jive talk: a way of re-editing the world with definitions through a hipster's eyes. Hipsters made absolute evaluations on everything, insisted Broyard.
Everything was solid, out of this world, or in the negative form a drag. "The hipster cultivated an atmosphere of secret knowledge of what was cool that the straight world, and especially the conventional Caucasian world, could not understand," Greif says.
revival of the hipster
The late 1990s birthed the revival of the hipster, but it came back as a way of describing individuals who considered themselves "hipper than thou," says Greif. This began at a time when wealthy, white Americans acquired property in low income and working class communities. This movement, known as gentrification, intended on transforming communities of low value to higher value.
"Hipster" became an insult used satirically by these young, wealthy individuals amongst each other; they characterized each other as fake, inauthentic, and often seeking new knowledge, not because they felt rebellious towards the conventional society, but to feel superior to other people, Greif says.
"Very obviously, these white kids in expensive sneakers and with expensive fake-use clothes moving into often black, Latino, white ethnic, and Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in New York as part of a gentrification process were not equivalent to the 1940s or 1950s type," Greif says.
{ today's hipster }
The hipster has evolved since into a kind of fashion statement: trucker hats, Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, Polaroids, facial hair, tattoos, the green movement, the comeback of LP records, scarves, fixed-gear bikes, thick framed glasses, and finally today's stylistic marker, the skinny jean.
Today's hipster resembles the original hipster rebelling against the norm, says KU teaching assistant John Vilanova. Today's norm is the corporatization of America, Vilanova says. He describes hipsters as those working against the dominant ideology of American culture.
In one of his American Studies lectures, Vilanova has his students discuss the idea of "identifying with not identifying." Hipsters are united by the single notion that they do not conform to corporate America, Vilanova says. They are brought together because they are all rejecting ideologies, which in turn becomes their ideology.
Vilanova says the driving reason today behind most people's distaste for hipsters is Americans' obsession with money and their belief that those who aren't working are lazy. Hipsters don't go to college to find a well-paying profession. They are generally musicians and artists, Vilanova says. "These are people who are not in conversation with money, and people don't understand that," Vilanova says.
The modern hipster is also about staying ahead of culture. Vilanova says the LCD Soundsystem song, "I'm Losing My Edge," encapsulates this idea. Lead singer James Murphy confesses that he can no longer compete with
people seeking out music and culture that no one knows about. This is the hipster's lament, Vilanova says.
more than just a label
We can find hipsters in local eateries, Urban Outfitters, coffee shops and even on our campus in front of Hashinger Hall. At times, we have even heard the occasional "you are such a hipster" insult. But how many times have you actually heard a hipster self-identify as a hipster? Through reporting for this story, I came to find that no hipster will.
"The second you identify as a hipster, you are not a hipster anymore." Vilanoa says.
In a Psychology Today study about hipsters as consumers, Zeynep Arsel and Craig L. Thompson reveal that not even hipsters want to be called hipsters. Most people spend money on items that reinforce their sense of identity. After multiple interviews with hipsters, Arsel and Thompson determine that hipsters will work overtime to convince themselves that what they purchase do not reflect their true character-hipster.After all, they conclude, identifying with a subculture means losing individuality, which is exactly the point of hipsterism.
When asked if he identifies as a hipster, recent KU graduate Jon Miller only referenced a closet full of plaid button downs and what others have to say on the matter. "My little sister and her friends always call me a hipster, so if 17 year-old girls' opinions are worth anything on the topic, then yes, I'm a hipster," Miller says.
Thomas Richmond, junior from Kansas City, Kan., says he can see why his friends will call him a hipster, based on his closet full of skinny jeans purchased at Urban Outfitters, and the fact that his left arm is covered in self-designed tattoos. However, he does not like being categorized by just one word.
"I am a local artist. I show in Final Fridays. I am a print making major. I used to play hockey, and I grew up playing soccer," Richmond says. "There is a lot more than me than being a hipster."

While hipsters don't like being labeled, it is no secret that they like the Urban Outfitters label.
Sandy Tickles, sophomore from Lenexa, admits that understanding hipster fashion is as simple as opening an Urban Outfitters catalog, the most popular items being leather jackets, boots, and skinny jeans. It is harder to be original now that the hipster look is trending, but it is all about making the look your own, Tickles says.
"If everyone is wearing a floral skirt, I could get a floral skirt but it won't be the same as everyone else's," Tickles says. Non-hipsters don't see the differences in hipsters' clothing, Tickles
says.
When Zach O'Brea, junior from Leavenworth, started shopping at Urban Outfitters in high school, his outfits made him stand out from the crowd. He and his friend were referred to as "the alternative kids," wearing something different from the Hollister and American Eagle clothing that everyone else was wearing, O'Brea says. While he has some vintage clothes, the majority of his wardrobe comes from Urban Outfitters.
Some hipsters opt for thrift-store shopping, looking for dated clothing at a much lower cost. Mackerel Price, junior at Emporia State University, worked at Goodwill in Lawrence for a year. She creates her outfits almost entirely out of thrift store finds, priding herself in paying one twentieth of the amount she would spend on name brand clothing. Price believes thrift store clothes are better quality, and has been in love with thrift-store shopping since junior high shopping trips with her mom.
Price describes her outfits as products of different decades. She loves the 90s acid-wash jeans, overalls, and big sunflowers on everything, but she also appreciates the elegant, form fitting dresses from the 40s. Price says her outfits tend to go over well, but everyone has a different opinion.
"I've gotten the random yell from the white pick-up truck 'hipster!'" Price says. "But I have also gotten compliments on my rear end when I wear my high-waisted shorts, so you never know, it can be very flattering."
{ future hipster }
What's next for the hipster? teaching assistant John Vilanova speculates that the future of the hipster will follow the counterculture pattern. People form a subculture, something that is different from the norm, and outsiders will want a taste of that inside culture. The subculture becomes popular, and then the original fans fade away.
An example of this idea is surfing, Vilanova says. When you go to the beach, you see men dressed in board shorts. Board shorts' original purpose was to keep surf board wax from getting on your legs. You don't need these shorts in land-locked states, but they became the most popular swimwear for men. This is an example of outside culture getting absorbed into the mainstream.
"There is always a group like this." Vilanova says. "Are hipsters mainstream? The answer may be no right now, but in time the answer will be yes. It will just be absorbed into the mainstream like anything else."

Matt Cole, an employee at US Bank on Massachusetts Street, estimated that 10 of the 50 bank employees will purchase parking passes.
With the construction of an apartment building at 9th and New Hampshire Streets and the proposed construction of a hotel across the street, parking downtown may soon become more limited.
"Most employees park on top of the garage," Cole said. Cole doubted more employees would buy passes.
Purchasing of parking permits varies from business to business.

Regardless of the weather, Krull believes paying attention makes the biggest difference, and most accidents or serious injuries can be avoided by doing a few basic things.
"You have to focus on the road," Krull said. "If you're going the proper speed, if you keep it in the center of your lane and you don't follow too close, then you always have time and space to react."

Q&A with Kansas' own Chris Allen
//Rachel Schultz
Chris Allen is a KU alumnus from Shawnee Mission, Kansas. He entered KU as a theatre and film major, thinking he wanted to act but soon realized that that wasn't his true passion. Chris graduated in 2006 as a history major and moved to Los Angeles to pursue his love of music shortly after graduation. His album "Candour" came out in June 2011 and is available on iTunes, which include songs "Lawrence Night" and "Set Me Free KC."
What do you love or miss about Lawrence? Oh my gosh. Literally everything. I was just there for the last KU home game and just driving through the campus—there's nothing like it anywhere else. From the Midwest to the west coast, anywhere. The students, people, the whole look and excitement of the town, having a sports team that's doing well, it's an oasis in the Midwest.
What was the craziest or the most fun thing?
you did in college?
I think my 21st birthday was probably one of the crazier nights—that or I was in a band and each year played the Luau party at Phi Delt. We played a party at Sig Ep once, that was pretty crazy. And always going to the Wheel. One night when it was raining, we went to the Wheel and had a mud fight in front of the Hawk, and tried to hug everyone who worked there that night as they came out. Or the microburst no power, no pants party at the house where we lived. Ah Hell, they were equal.
When did you know you wanted to be a musician?
I think it's something I always liked. I don't think I ever knew until senior year—after Rock Chalk Revue and writing some of the songs. Winning the best original song might have been the reason I moved here but I've been singing and writing forever. I think it was gradual, knowing when I wanted to be a musician. The bug hit me early when I saw [a friend] play, but I think I made a concerted effort to try at it while at KU, especially senior year, when "Lawrence Night" came about. I did what I had to do to pursue it.
Who are your musical inspirations?
Oh man, you could name a letter of the
alphabet and I could name one. I say there's three: Pink Floyd, especially David Gilmore, Jeff Buckley was my big, huge '90s influence, and Led Zepplin. But everything I've heard has influenced my writing, classical, country, really anything.
What's your favorite song right now?
My brother and I were just talking about this.
The Shins have a new song called "Simple Song" that can't stop playing. Their album is being released around March Madness. I usually don't play songs over and over and this one I just can't stop.
What's your favorite song of all time? Comfortably Numb. NO wait, it's actually Ramble On—by Led Zeppelin. For sure.
How did you get your start in LA?
Man, it was tripping into it, I think. I wanted to be in the industry but I didn't know if I wanted to be on the label side or into writing and producing. I found out I didn't want to do business and took class in Pro Tools engineering, the software they use in the studio. I met guy who ran a studio and needed a kid who knew computers to run in the studio. It was really lucky. He brought me in and I ended up taking over and now, I run the place with another guy. I don't know if it's fate or what, but it works out. It's a struggle but you do what you have to do.
How would you describe your music and your album Candour?
A new, classic rock sound. It's all over the map; it has alternative feel, singer-songwriter from the '70s with a little blues and rock. So, a new classic rock. I try to make it as true and believable as I can. I don't want to go do American Idol or anything like that. It's natural, I write what comes out. It's real.
What do you love about your career?
Oh man. Exploring myself and finding out this creative side that I never understood. It's always growing. I never know the next song or studio project that comes in. In producing other bands I've developed leadership that I never knew was there. The self discovery and grow is continuous.
Any other hobbies outside of playing music?
Basketball. Definitely, it's funny, I moved out here and didn't know anybody. Then I finally met, like, 20 KU people. Everybody out here from KU is in film, but I'm the only one in music. We started a basketball league, but we were awful. All the other teams had bigger guys. But last year went got to the championship; I was starting point guard. It's starting up again in a few weeks, actually.
What advice do you have for college students?
I'd say trust your instincts. And the one thing I've always lacked is assertiveness and putting yourself out there—don't be afraid to do that. Be willing to not be afraid of the word "no." I could take that advice a little more. Be confident.
Anything else you'd like to say?
Let's get Tyshawn to be confident with the ball.

ONE OF THE JAYHAWKS: CHRIS ALLEN MOVED TO L.A. TO PURSUE HIS MUSIC CAREER AFTER FIRST COMPLETING HIS DEGREE AT KU
Seasoned coach to coordinate Jayhawk defense
NFL and learning pro-style scheme in college makes the transition easier.
College football teams filled with highly talented and skilled players with pro prospects usually make frequent trips to bowl games. Kansas has never had that consistency because it has lacked players with pro prospects. Football recruits are eager to play for schools that pride themselves in football because they don't want to be in the shadow of basketball players.
However, with Weis at the helm, Kansas football is now on the radar. The program may not have immediate success, but recruits and transfers will now consider Kansas because Weis knows how to develop players into NFL prospects.
A new vibe is surrounding Kansas football. This has arguably been the biggest offseason in Kansas football history, and fans are excited for the Weis era to commence. The college football community can now pay heed to Kansas Jayhaws football.

It took Kansas football coach Charlie Weis over a month, but after hiring Dave Campo, he now has the coach in charge of turning around the unit that finished last in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total yards allowed and scoring defense.
"I was looking for a concept and once I saw somebody I knew and that I could trust, that fit that concept." Weis said. "I knew it would be right."
Campo comes to the Jayhawks after spending the previous 23 seasons at the professional level, including the last four as the secondary coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

coach following in 2002.
In his time with the Cowboys, Campo won three Super Bowls and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1995 before his unsuccessful tenure as head coach. Campo spent stints on the coaching staffs of the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars before returning to the Cowboys in 2008.
NOTABLE PLAYERS UNDER CAMPO
DEION SANDERS: 4-time pro-bowl selection under Campo. 4-time all-pro selection under Campo.
BENNIE BLADES: 1987 Jim Thorpe award winner as nation's top defensive back under Campo. College Football Hall of Fame member.
DARREN WOODSON: 4-time all-pro selection, 5-time pro-bowl selection under Campo. Campo converted Woodson from linebacker to safety in the NFL.
TERENCE NEWMAN: 2009 pro-bowl selection under Campo. Recorded his best statistical season in 2010 with 77 tackles and 5 interceptions in 2010, both career highs.
RASHEAN MATRIS: Had his best season under Campo in 2006 when he was named to the all-pro team, selected to the pro-bowl, tied for third in the NFL with eight interceptions.
"I wanted somebody that speaks the same language as me," Weis said. "He certainly speaks the same language as me. He's significantly older than me, obviously. We speak the same language, we've known each other
for a long time, we have a mutual respect."
In addition to his duties as defensive coordinator, Campo will also be in charge of the defensive secondary, where he
will try and improve a unit that finished the season ranked 110th in the nation in pass defense.

Get Some Culture: Crafting Continuities

The Crafting Continuities exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art provides insight into the little details of the artistic puzzle—the materials and processes that go into creating the final work.
"I think it really important that when we look at artworks and we see them all finished and in the case, we think about how they were made," says Chassica Kirchhoff, a Springfield, Missouri Phd student and intern at the museum who curated the exhibit.
And it turns out how art is made hasn't changed much in the last several millennia. Pieces in the exhibit show contemporary artists using 3,000 year old glass blowing techniques and 5,000 year old metal-smithing methods.
technique and is used by Sean Kramer, a Hutchinson senior and vice-president of the Spencer Student Advisory board, like that of the Crafting Continuities exhibit shows the evolution of crafting and elevates the materials to a level of high art.
Nothing is quite as simple as it seems. The exhibit includes textiles made from computer output and detailed sketches of different angles of small metalwork piece shown next to the final product. White streaks running across a vase that initially appear decorative are actually evidence of a centuries-old process where several pieces of glass are melted into one cohesive unit.
The exhibit runs through June with fresh works being introduced later this month. And if taking in the impressive displays of craftiness put you in a creative mood, stop by the Craftsy Meetup Party next Thursday, January 26 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.at the Spencer Museum of Art. Demonstrate your skills, meet other craft aficionados or simply let the art inspire you.

Do this... Super Nerd Night
The bar environment has long been a host to a number of popular games, such as pool, darts, and foosball. Yet, a group of local businesses has taken to redefining the term "bar game" by bringing video game consoles, comics and nerd culture to the bar setting.
Super Nerd Night will be from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 25 at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire. Gamers, drawers, drinkers and combinations of the three can look forward to a Magic: The Gathering tournament, an old-school gaming bar and live music from R-Type Final Radar Defender.
Joel Pfannenstiel, owner of Astrokitty Comics, says Super Nerd Night began about two years ago as a monthly staple at the Jackpot. The event took a hiatus of five or six months, Pfannenstiel says, but is back
Mike Dye, an employee of the Bottleneck, says he thinks the event will have a large turnout based on the attendance of the Bottleneck's Sunday trivia nights. Dye says he expects much of the same crowd to attend the Super Nerd Night.“You'll see some people from around town that you never knew were a super nerd,” Dye says.
Matt Mendoza, a senior from Winfield, attended his first Super Nerd Night in 2009. "It's nice to see nerd culture out and about," Mendoza says. Mendoza says the event is a great place to be around people who have similar interests, but also to explore interests outside of your own, which is why he intends to participate in both the Magic tournament and the Drunk Drawing.

A new vibe is surrounding Kansas football. This has arguably been the biggest offseason in Kansas football history, and fans are excited for the Weis era to commence. The college football community can now pay heed to Kansas Jayhaws football.
White Chocolate cultivates talent within the Lawrence skateboarding community by sponsoring a select few. This group consists only of those who have proven their dedication both to the sport and to the shop.

Though Nike's brand of skateboarding shoes have proven very popular, White Chocolate refuses to sell them on principle, standing in opposition to their business practices.
However, with Weis at the helm Kansas football is now on the radar. The program may not have immediate success, but recruits and transfers will now consider Kansas because Weis knows how to develop players into NFL prospects.
The shop serves various activities and countercultures tangential to skateboarding by selling, among other things, Frisbees longboards, local art and detox kits.

White Chocolate has been instrumental in implementing various fundraisers and competitions designed to maintain the local skate park and foster interest and involvement in the skateboarding community.
Currently the only skateboard shop in Lawrence, White Chocolate has outlasted several others including Let it Ride, Aces and Eights and Midwest Skateboards.

College football teams filled with highly talented and skilled players with pro prospects usually make frequent trips to bowl games. Kansas has never had that consistency because it has lacked players with pro prospects. Football recruits are eager to play for schools that pride themselves in football because they don't want to be in the shadow of basketball players.
NFL and learning pro-style schemes in college makes the transition easier
Admittedly socially conscious, White Chocolate has consistently honored both recycling and food-donation programs. While originally designed as limited time offers these retail discount programs reflect their bottom line.
Seasoned coach to coordinate Jayhawk defense

It took Kansas football coach Charlie Weis over a month, but after hiring Dave Campo, he now has the coach in charge of turning around the unit that finished last in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total yards allowed and scoring defense.
"I was looking for a concept and once I saw somebody I knew and that I could trust, that fit that concept," Weis said. "I knew it would be right."

--your mark, to make your difference. One chance, but you don't understand this," were the first words of their first song. How ironic. I didn't understand, that was the truth, but I knew the more I sought God, the more I would learn.
Odd God
// DREW WILLE
I found God in a building behind a gentlemen's club when I was 14.
DREW MEETS THE WEDDING VOCALIST KEVIN KIEHN AFTER THE SHOW
The Music Hall was a dimly lit, cinder block building located in Fayetteville, Ark., six years ago. Who knows now what's become of that dark gray building that gave my life so much light.
It was a hot July night, and my sister had taken me to there for a Christian rock show her friends were playing. She was living in Arkansas at the time, and I was in town visiting. I wasn't totally sure about the whole "Christian" thing. I didn't grow up going to church and I was kind of afraid of being around Christians. I think I was more afraid of them knowing I was Bible stupid.
I remember talking to myself in my head the entire way there, making up dialogue that I was sure would take place.
"So, do you know who God is?"
I would answer back in my head, "Yeah,
that's Jesus' dad, if you're not counting
loseh, or are you?"
MOTHER OF DREAMS
You know, throwing the questions back at them seemed like a good way of getting out of answering any Christian questions they'd throw at me.
And then before I knew it, my sister and I had pulled up to this sketchy looking building for this Christian concert, just behind the more sketchy gentlemen's club.
I was so nervous. I remember hopping out of my sister's Tahoe and running over to her side of the car. I became her shadow for that next hour or so.
As she walked around the parking lot to talk to everyone she knew there, which I could have sworn was everybody, she would introduce me. With every introduction, I became more relaxed.

"Maybe these Christian people aren't so scary after all," I thought to myself as my sister and I walked into The Music Hall to watch the second band, The Wedding, set up to play. At that point I wasn't sure if my being there was a blessing or curse - I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
As Kevin, the vocalist, grabbed the mic, the room grew quiet. It was eerie, and I remember looking to my side to see what my sister was doing and she was gone. So there I was, alone in a crowded room waiting for my sister's friend to speak.
Kevin gave testimony. The Wedding had finally gotten signed after years of hard work and he thanked God repeatedly for all the things that'd been happening in each member's life. He even said a prayer for the men at war in Afghanistan.
I didn't even bow my head to pray, although I knew that's what you were supposed to do. I was paralyzed. I felt this numbing sensation take over my body and I began to cry.
Do you know when you know someone so well, they don't have to say a word for you to make sense of what they're saying? That's how I felt, but it was the other way around this time. God knew me so well, that I didn't have to say a word. He knew I needed Him, and I was right where He wanted me. I was finally surrounded by people who believed in Him, and I finally realized what it meant to love a God who gives people the desires of their hearts.
As I began to weep. The Wedding began to play. "One shot is all you've got to make
After getting myself together, I found my sister and told her that I had felt something wash over me during Kevin's testimony and that I wanted to learn about God and whatever I had been missing out on.
I've never seen my sister smile so big. She let out a little laugh and said, "I think you, little sister, have finally experienced the Holy Spirit."
"The Holy what?"
Whatever that was scared the shit out of me. I had no idea what that was or what it meant, but I kept my cool. I mean, I had already drawn enough attention to myself by wearing a hideous, iridescent skull and cross bones tee with bleach splatters on it, which I bought at Wet Seal only hours before (my failed wardrobe attempt to fit in at this concert) and from crying.
So I played it off the best I could, but my mind was racing with thoughts of everything I was experiencing. The weird thing was, I wasn't scared to talk to anyone after that. I even remember going up to some people and asking them where a good church was in Fayetteville because I wanted to go in the morning. It's like my hard shell had been cracked.
When the night came to a close, I walked away from that place with a handful of friends I still have in my life today. I walked away from The Music Hall with a new love and respect for music. Better yet, I walked away from that show a Christian, with a strong will to begin living my life for something bigger than myself - God.
I'll never forget that night in Arkansas. My newfound love for God led to many years of church, volunteering for my church, going to spiritual retreats and eventually, my baptism at age 18.
Looking back on this experience reminds me of how blessed I am and how odd God can be. I've been on both sides, Christian and not. Some people have religion forced on them growing up or are never exposed to it. I was blessed enough to have a mother who wanted me to find it on my own.
Christians aren't scary to me anymore, that's a given, but my view on those who aren't, or believe in something totally different, is this: I've been there once; your life is yours and you should live it how you see fit and I'll stay the same, not judging what you choose to live or not live for. Before I was a Christian, life was good, but it's better now that I've found meaning for myself.

According to a city news release, the permits are valid in long-term parking areas, including three levels in the parking garage at 933 New Hampshire Street, the lower level of the Riverfront parking garage at 600 New Hampshire Street and eight long-term parking lots around downtown. Yearly permits cost $192 and quarterly permits cost $50. A value pass valid on the top level of the New Hampshire parking garage, lower level of the

"Most employees park on top of the garage," Cole said. Cole doubled more employees would buy passes
"You always want to go the free route," he said.
Matt Cole, an employee at US Bank on Massachusetts Street, estimated that 10 of the 50 bank employees will purchase parking passes.
Jock's Nitch manager, Scott Ozier, said his employees don't buy parking passes.
"Permits can take a big chunk out of their income," Ozier said. He said most of his employees are college or high school students.

Ozier purchased a pass for himself the first year he worked at Jock's Nitch, but said he hasn't since because he didn't find it useful.
With the construction of an apartment building at 9th and New Hampshire Streets and the proposed construction of a hotel across the street, parking downtown may soon become more limited.
"I don't know if the need for permits will arise."
Alexa Ferguson, office manager at Satabinti & Associates Architects Inc., said free parking for tenants of their building on New Hampshire is available.

In an effort to upgrade its appeal to prospective students and advance the research efforts at the University, construction of additional engineering facilities are set for completion in May. The new building will mostly result in more laboratories for more research facilities for faculty members and their staff.
"KU is building a regional, if not national caliber, testing facility," said Brian Cordill, an electrical engineering PhD student from Olathe. "It's really going to allow us to do research that either can be done or isn't being done in an academic setting."
Cordill is currently working under Professor Sarah Seguin,
also in the electrical engineering department. Their research efforts will be enhanced by the installation of an anechoic chamber, which allows for the study of radio waves in an isolated.

which is a benefit to the aviation industry.
Not only will this facility assist Dr. Seguin's research, it will also provide a valuable tool to show prospective students.
"We'll have a really nice showcase for recruiting new students," Seguin said.
According to School of Engineering dean Stuart Bell, this new facility, only Phase I of construction, will be 43,000 square feet and has a total cost of $24 million. The next facility to be built, Phase II, will total 100,000 square feet and cost $65 million. A third phase is also planned.
As for the opening of the new facilities in a matter of months, both faculty and staff are excited.
"I personally can't wait for the building to be open," said Cordill. "And I like that the University and the state as a whole is focusing on training more engineers."

Accidents occur despite warm winter
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
There's no denying that winter weather and accidents go hand in hand. Luckily, this year's warmer winter weather has kept most of the snow and ice away, but one thing not absent this winter is traffic accidents.
The average December temperature in 2011 was 35 degrees for Lawrence, five degrees warmer than it was in 2010, when December's average was 30 degrees, according to weatherdatadepot.com.
Records from the Lawrence Police Department show 796 traffic accidents occurring from November 1, 2011 to January 16, 2012. This number is down 36 accidents when compared to last winter which had 832 traffic accidents occurring from November 1, 2010 to January 16, 2011.
Sergeant Michael Monroe,
from the police department's
traffic unit, believes the weather has contributed to the lower number, but said the number is not significant.
"Weather is certainly a contributing factor in the lower number of accidents," Monroe said in an email, "I think during a 'normal'
winter the numbers for the last month's would have been higher, however, I don't think the difference in the numbers is significant."
"If you're going the proper speed, if you keep it in the center of your lane and you don't follow too close, then you always have time and space to react."

"Iattention is the biggest cause of accidents in Lawrence", Monroe said.
Weather didn't play a role in Kendall Clark's October accident, but lack of attention did.
"We were coming back from Wendy's on 23rd, and I was messing with the radio." Clark said, a sophomore from Augusta.
"My friend yelled, 'We're stopping,' Clark said. "By the time I
looked up, I rear ended the car in front of me, and that car hit someone else."
Rear end collisions are the most common accident in Lawrence, Krull said.
"If you look in your rearview mirror, you always have someone right behind you," Krull said. "I think getting rear ended is the most common in Lawrence because of that."
Regardless of the weather, Krull believes paying attention makes the biggest difference, and most accidents or serious injuries can be avoided by doing a few basic things.

Students will explore three bases of inquiry: media technology, media and society and business aspects of media. This will train them to deal with issues surrounding the rapidly changing structure of traditional media. Within the program, students have the freedom to study specific questions related to media and business practices.
Brill said students will leave the program with the skills to be as good at teaching as they are at researching. They will not only understand the intricacies of the media, but will help others understand where media is headed.

Because the world is bigger than your oyster
NORTH AMERICA
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The former Haitian dictator known as "Baby Doe" has been summoned to court to be scolded for violating the terms of his house arrest by venturing outside the capital, a judge said Thursday.
Former dictator violates house arrest
Duvalier's attorney argued that his client wasn't violating the law, because no such law exists. He also said he may file a complaint against the judge.
The law "is fantasy," lawyer Reynold Georges said by telephone. The judge "can do whatever he wants but he also has to pay the consequences. I'm a snake. I don't play."
Duvalier faces criminal charges that include embezzlement, torture and murder.
"Jean-Claude Duvalier needs to be in my office by 11:05 a.m." on Friday, Judge Carves Jean told the Associated Press at his courthouse office in downtown Port-au-Prince. "If he's not, he'll be arrested by 11:10 a.m."
After making an unexpected return to his homeland last year, Duvalier was
GLOBE
placed under house arrest, meaning he wasn't authorized to travel outside the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area without legal consent.
The former dictator, always dressed in a navy blue suit, has been seen traveling the country, often at the wheel of a SUV. He delivered a commencement speech to law school graduates at a university in the countryside last month and has been spotted lounging on the beach.
Duvalier attended a memorial service last week that marked the two-year anniversary of the devastating earthquake. The event was hosted by President Michel Martelly and guests included former Haitian president Proper Avril and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the United Nations' special envoy to Haiti.
The prosecution of Duvalier has made little headway since it began last year and rights groups fear he will go unpunished.
Captain sinking with ship is traditional
EUROPE
STOCKHOLM. Sweden
Seafaring tradition holds that the captain should be last to leave a sinking ship. But is it realistic to expect skippers to suppress their survival instinct amid the horror of a maritime disaster? To ask them to stare down death from the bridge, as the lights go out and the water rises, until everyone else has made it to safety?
From mariners on ships plying the world's oceans, the answer is loud and clear. Aye.
"It's a matter of honor that the master is the last to leave. Nothing less will do in this profession," said Jorgen Loren, captain of a passenger ferry operating between Sweden and Denmark
and chairman of the Swedish Maritime Officer's Association.
Seamen have expressed almost universal outrage at Capt. Francesco Schettino, who faces possible charges of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning his crippled cruise ship off Tuscany while passengers were still on board. The last charge carries a possible sentence of 12 years in prison.
Jim Staples, a captain for 20 years, who spoke Wednesday from the 1,000-foot (300-meter) cargo vessel he was captaining near New Orleans, said captains are duty-bound to stay with the ship until the situation is hopeless. When they bail early, everything falls apart.
AFRICA
Refugee men return home to crops
MOGADISHU, Somalia — Six months after the U.N. declared Somalia's capital a famine zone, the number of refugees in the capital is dwindling, as most of the men have gone home to try to revive devastated herds and withered crops.
The women — and the kids — would like to join them, but many don't have enough money. That means fewer hands on the farm and a smaller harvest.
At a sprawling Mogadishu refugee camp that holds 2,700 stick huts, one woman said she was grateful for a plastic sheet over her ramshackle stick hut that keeps her children dry. For another woman, it's a daily cup of porridge for everyone in her family. A third woman says there are fewer problems than there used to be.
But hardship — and danger
— remain. U.N. security personnel say there have been six improvised explosive devices found or detonated in Mogadishu the last two days,
including a blast Thursday at a police checkpoint near a refugee camp that exploded shortly after U.N. personnel and international journalists visited a nearby feeding site. Two police and four refugees were killed in the blast, which did not appear to be aimed at the visiting delegation.
But one promising sign is a lack of men in the refugee camps. Many have gone home to plant crops and try to resurrect herds devastated by a crippling drought. The drought in the parts of Somalia controlled by al-Shabab militants — who allow few aid groups in — turned into famine. Seasonal rains have fallen in drought areas in recent weeks, raising hopes that the situation will improve.
Somali police forces have been fighting each other at a key intersection, and Somali government soldiers in a highly contested Mogadishu neighborhood have abandoned their posts because they have not been paid.
MIDDLE EAST
Syrians stop assaults on small town
BEIRUT, Lebanon
Syrian government tanks and armored vehicles have pulled back from an embattled mountain town near Damascus, activists and witnesses said Thursday, but at least 16 people were killed by security forces elsewhere as a month-long Arab League fact-finding mission expired.
The pullback from Zabadani left the town under the control of the opposition, activists said. The besieged town of Zabadani has witnessed heavy exchanges of fire between army troops and anti-government military defectors over the past six days.
The 10-month uprising against
Syrian President Bashar Assad has
turned increasingly militarized and chaotic as more frustrated regime opponents and army defectors arm themselves and fight back against government forces. The capital has seen three suicide bombings since late December, which the government blamed on terrorist extremists.
Arab League foreign ministers will consider extending the League's observer mission in Syria in a meeting Sunday in Cairo, officials said Thursday.

Republican presidential candidate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry pauses while announcing he is suspending his campaign yesterday in North Charleston, S.C. He endorsed Newt Gingrich.
Perry leaves race supports Gingrich
ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN, Texas — Gov. Rick Perry dropped out of the presidential race on Thursday, endorsed his old friend Newt Gingrich and returned home to Texas, where the failed White House candidate has three years left to serve as the chief executive.
"I have come to the conclusion that there is no viable path to victory for my candidacy in 2012," Perry said in North Charleston, S.C., just two days before the primary there. "I believe Newt is a conservative visionary who can transform our country."
Money also was a factor, with spokesman Ray Sullivan saying: "We have spent the bulk of our funds." He added that Perry hasn't ruled out running again for governor or the White House in 2016 if President Barack Obama is reelected.
Perry ended his campaign where he launched it last August, when tea party and evangelical Christian leaders hailed him as a charismatic conservative and some early polls showed him as a front-runner for the Republican nomination. But
soon after, Perry's verbal gaffes and poor debate performances sent his campaign into a tailspin from which it never recovered.
It was too soon to tell whether Perry's rocky turn on the national stage had damaged him politically at home. But already there were signs of his diminished clout.
Several Texas donors who fueled his bid indicated they were likely to back Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who is considered the more moderate candidate in the race. And South Carolina House speaker David Wilkins, who had supported Perry, ignored the governor's recommendation and shifted his support to Romney, too.
Short of a Gingrich victory leading to a job for Perry in Washington, Perry will most likely stay in Austin where — despite his dismal presidential campaign — he's still considered the most powerful politician in the state. He has appointed more than 1,000 people to key government positions since becoming governor in 2000. State lawmakers also depend on his support.

JERUSALEM — Organizers of the Palestinian version of "American Idol" said Thursday the Gaza Strip's Hamas rulers have banned residents from participating in the popular reality show.

Palestinians banned from 'American Idol'
The organizers said Hamas told them the program is "indecent," in what appears to be a new attempt by the fundamentalist militant Muslim group to crack down on behavior it sees as contrary to its conservative interpretation of Islam.
In the past, Hamas has banned women from riding on the backs of motorbikes, women from smoking water pipes, and men from working in hair salons — saying such practices were immodest. Not all bans are imposed uniformly.

Victims get cash payout
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — Rupert Murdoch's media empire apologized and agreed to cash payouts Thursday to 37 people — including a movie star, a soccer player, a top British politician and the son of a serial killer — who were harassed
Law
and phonehacked by his tabloid press.
The four — Jude Law, Ashley Cole, John Prescott and Chris Shipman — were among three
P
Lawyers for the claimants said the settlements vindicated their accusation that senior Murdoch executives had long known about the scale of illegal phone hacking and had tried to cover it up.
dozen victims who received financial damages from Murdochs British newspaper company for illegal aavesdropping and other intrusions, including email snooping.
Financialdetails of 15 of the payouts, totaling more than 640,000 pounds (about $1 million), were made public at a court hearing Thursday. The amounts generally ran into the tens of thousands of pounds — although Law received 130,000 pounds (about $200,000), plus legal costs, to settle claims against the now-shuttered News of the World tabloid and its sister tabloid, The Sun.
Law was one of 60 people who have sued Murdoch's News Group Newspapers, claiming their
mobile phone voicemails were hacked. Others whose settlements were announced Thursday at London's High Court included former government ministers Chris Bryant and Tessa Jowell, rugby player Gavin Hlower, Princess Diana's former lover James Hewitt, singer Danni Minogue and Sara Payne, the mother of a murdered girl.
It was the largest group of settlements announced yet in the longrunning hacking scandal, which has shaken Murdoch's global empire, spurred the resignations of several of his top executives and reverberated through Britain's political, police and media elite.
Law, the star of "Sherlock Holmes" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley", said he was "truly appalled" at the scale of surveillance and privacy invasion that his case had exposed.
"No aspect of my private life was safe from intrusion by News Group Newspapers, including the lives of my children and the people who work for me," he said in a statement. "It was not just that my phone messages were listened to. News Group also paid people to watch me and my house for days at a time and to follow me and those close to me, both in this country and abroad."
News Group Newspapers admitted that 16 articles about Law published in the News of the World between 2003 and 2006 had been obtained by phone hacking, and that the actor had also been placed under "repeated and sustained physical surveillance." The company

also admitted that articles in The Sun had misused Law's private information — although it didn't go as far as to admit hacking by that paper.
Law said Murdoch's tabloids had been "prepared to do anything to sell their newspapers and to make money, irrespective of the impact it had on people's lives."
"I changed my phones, I had my house swept for bugs but still the information kept being published," Law said.

EDUCATION
Do as the Romans do: the Italian university
During my first lecture at the University of Bologna, I sat in the stairwell, crushed between my bag and another Italian girl who hadn't managed to find a seat. When the professor started talking, all I caught was, "Cose' la letteratura?" (What is literature?)
The next two hours consisted of a lecture conducted in a language I'm supposed to know or at least be learning. The professor ended it with a slam of a book and a swing of his scarf. I turned to the girl next to me, stumbling to ask her in Italian what he had just said.
And so it began. The pile of confusion, incorrect translations, and "Taglish" notes that would characterize my very first semester at this Italian institution.
Bologna, my home for the 2011-2012 academic year, has three nicknames: La Rossa, the red one, for it's red-tinted buildings and communist political history; La Grassa, the fat one, for its world famous cuisine; and La Dotta, the learned one, for what is currently my university and the oldest university in Europe. The University of Bologna.
Since the university was founded in 1088, scholars such as Dante, Petrarch, and Copernicus flocked to study in the same buildings where I have lectures. But the age of an institution doesn't necessarily equal perfection. In fact, after a semester of untangling the Italian education system, I have found that "education" has many different interpretations. And Italians don't necessarily see organization as part of their definition.
By Bernadette Myers bmyers@kansan.com
It is normal for there not to be enough seats in a classroom. I've sat on the floor, and sometimes I share a seat with a friend. I've shown up for lecture only to find my building locked or my professor an hour late.
There is no such thing as an
"Maybe a twenty minute oral exam is a better reflection on the real world tan the piles of busy work and online quizzes found throughout the American
education sys. ...
attendance policy. I could never attend class, enroll for my oral exam, and take it studying completely on my own or maybe not at all. If I fail, exams can be retaken a month, two months, even 10 years after I've completed the course.
And yet, despite its clear lack of order and maybe even functionality, the Italian system excels in other ways. The lack of attendance and enrollment reflect the fact that there is no cap on how many students can attend a lecture. In fact, courses are open to the public. I could sit in on any lecture I wanted to without paying a penny as long as I didn't
enroll for the exam.
Italians pay around $1500 a year to actually receive a degree from the University. But, their cheap education comes at a cost. There's no Student Health Center. No on-campus living. There are no athletic teams or campus newspapers. The students are there to learn, and no one holds their hands through it.
I have come to realize how dependent I am on the rigid semester schedule I have back home: Test 1, Mid-Term, Test 2, Final Essay, Final Exam. I've been trained to expect deadlines and grade breakdowns. Seeing my Italian roommates study for a course they took two years ago because they didn't feel ready for the exam right when the course ended makes me question how much I have retained. Could I pass my final for Calculus I took freshman year? Would I understand the plot of "Canterbury Tales" without the daily comprehension quiz?
After I complete my undergraduate education, I won't be getting a seat assignment and a syllabus with instructions on how to succeed. Maybe a twenty minute oral exam is a better reflection on the real world than the piles of busy work and online quizzes found throughout the American education system.
Then again, maybe I'll change my mind when I see how many times I have to take the oral exam.

CULTURE
Choose a resolution that boosts your self-confidence
With the abundance of media hype about losing some pounds that inevitably comes with every new year, going to the recreation center is in the forefront of my mind. I have been going to the recreation center everyday and recently have been unnerved by the amount of muscle mass I have seen there.
I walked into the weight room and found a spot to look at myself in the mirror; I began lifting my 15 pounders with might. After a couple of moments, my eyes wandered like anyone else's, and I couldn't help but glance at the monster of a man lifting eighty pound dumbbells next to me.
As I gritted my teeth upon every repetition he lifted his weights with ease. Subtly comparing myself to him in the mirror, I realized that I would never become some- "rinsed"

one desired as or "huge" like would. I am fairly convinced that he put couch pillows under his shirt, or the mirror was modified in some way to make him look like Hercules.
This encounter made me think about why I even make New Year's resolutions. It is an opportunity to look at myself, see what is wrong, and vainly try to make myself a better person. The recreation center provides a mirror for me to look at myself, but other than a non-matching outfit, I
didn't see much wrong.
Losing my jelly-like belly has nothing to do with making me a better person. I was under the assumption that losing ten pounds was going to make me climb the numbers in attractiveness as if losing ten pounds would result in gaining a hundred pounds in the form of a significant other.
Obviously, I was doing this for the wrong reasons, and that is why my resolution to get trim

look like something that someone could wash their clothes on, but I was only doing it because I thought other people would like it.
The hulk of a man in the gym, on the other hand, was trying to make himself the best at lifting heavy things, like really big rocks or small cars. The difference is that he is doing something to better himself while I am hopelessly trying to impress other people. The point is that I don't need to lift anything, other than my self-esteem perhaps.

Resolutions must be something that you do for yourself if you are going to accomplish them. Honestly, losing weight is a silly resolution. I need to resolve to do things that will make me a happier person and a better student, like watching more romantic comedies and not using Facebook as much in class.
In fact, we all need to look at ourselves in the mirror. That's what resolutions are really about; looking at
g. at yourself in critical w a y and making small changes to better
yourself. Losing a little weight is not the cure to your loneliness. You're just adding to the cacophony of people waiting in line at the recreation center. Instead, do something for yourself like playing fewer video games, flossing more often and talking to people face to face. That is self-respect.

FOOD
Eating Seasonally In-season fruits and vegetables are both delicious and nutritious
It's winter, and even though we're lacking the snow and negative temperatures that are usually present this time of year, we're still far, far away from the warmth of summer and all the great food that comes with it.
If you have ever enjoyed a fresh, red, homegrown tomato in the summer, then you know what I'm talking about. Those tomatoes are a dream compared to the flavorless, mealy things that line the shelves of Dillon's this time of the year.
But there's no need to settle for the bland versions of your favorite fruits and veggies shipped half-way around the world in the winter; there are plenty of delicious and under appreciated ingredients that are actually at their peak right now! Produce like Brussel's sprouts, cauliflower, celery, leeks, apples, and potatoes are at their best in the winter.
When an item is in season, it's not only at its best flavor, but also nutritional level. Dark, green veggies like kale are perfect right now and contain high doses of beta-carotene, a super-vitamin with lots of health benefits including building immune systems, which is perfect during cold and flu season.
So how exactly does one incorporate seasonal produce into their diet? I recommend printing off a food season chart, which can easily be found on the internet, and putting it on your fridge, so that you're more mindful of what to put on your grocery list.
Here are a few quick and easy ideas for winter ingredients. I love to take any sort of root vegetable, especially Brussel's sprouts but any medley will do, and lightly toss
Moreover, ingredients are often cheaper when they are in season. When an item is abundant after a harvest and doesn't have to be shipped from Brazil, it drastically lowers the cost and carbon footprint of a meal.
them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. I then bake them in the oven at 425 degrees until slightly brown and crispy. Another favorite of mine is to sauté kale on the stove over medium heat in a pan with olive oil, fresh garlic, and a little salt until slightly wilted. A classic crowd pleasing dish is a baked sweet potato. Not only do they taste great, but they're also great for you. Either place them in the oven at 375 degrees for an hour or in the microwave for 7 minutes then let it sit for a few more; don't forget to take a fork and poke some holes in the potato before you cook it in the oven or microwave to avoid an explosion. When it's done and soft just add a little butter, salt, and maybe some brown sugar or whatever fixings you like and you've got a warming, delicious, winter meal.
And if you absolutely can't stand the thought of going without your spring and summertime favorites for a few months, try preserving your treats when they are at their freshest. Put some berries in the freezer in the summer and pull them out in the winter for great cereal toppings or smoothie ingredients. Or try some more traditional methods like canning and pickling. So try something new and don't avoid produce just because its winter.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
The Jayhawks are fresh off their most impressive victory of the season, a decisive 92-74 drubbing of Baylor on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse. Now they face a Texas team that is less talented than it was last year, but still capable of pulling off the upset. Junior forward Thomas Robinson and senior guard Tyshawn Taylor can't play much better than they have been, but coach Bill Self said that there are others who can still improve. Junior center Jeff Withey is still learning how to play a more complete game, rather than dominate in brief spurts. Self would love to see Withey play aggressively for a full 40 minutes in Austin.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey, center
When Withey is fired up, the Kansas defense is nearly impossible to beat in the paint. The problem: Withey isn't always
fired up. Self has said that Withey usually plays with more aggression after he or a teammate makes a big play. Withey's 10 rebounds. 3
Withey

blocks and immeasurable number of altered shots against Baylor might have been the difference in the game. It was typical Withey stepping up against a great team. Will he do the same against a mediocre Texas team or play without passion?
QUESTION MARK
Will Kansas find an early lead or let Texas hang around?
The Jayhawks have more talent and momentum than the Longhorns, but anything can happen on the road. At Oklahoma, they trailed 34-33 going into halftime. At Texas Tech, they trailed 18-17 with 5:46 left in the first half. Kansas ended up winning both games, but these are the only two examples of this team on the road, and they weren't all rosy. The Jayhawks would benefit from a hot shooting start, allowing their defense to carry them through the rest of the game. The energy that fuels this team shouldn't be too hard to find against an unofficial rival that won in the fieldhouse last season.
Hear ye, Hear ye: "I didn't really like them much and they didn't really care for me much, up until after Christmas."

TERRY HAWKS
TYSHAWN TAYLOR, GUARD
Johnson
He's never had back-to-back performances that were this good, so now Taylor must avoid a letdown. Similar to junior guard Travis Releford, he doesn't need to score 28 points to play well. Taylor turned the ball over five times against Baylor and will continue to try to decrease that number. Hovering around two or three turnovers per game would be ideal.
★★★☆
ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
Johnson has settled into his role as a multidimensional threat quite nicely. When he doesn't have the pressure to score, the rest of his game rounds out. He tallied 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists and a steal against Baylor—numbers that Self would take any day. By not forcing shots or passes, Johnson plays with a greater sense of comfort. He's averaged just 1.7 turnovers in his past 11 games.
DONALD J. CRAVER
★★★☆☆
Releford
TRAVIS RELEFORD, FORWARD
Releford's persistent energy and knack for doing the little things has helped his team escape the dangers of the road. He dives for loose balls, rebounds with strength and determination and turns his defense into fast break scoring chances. He's reached double-figure scoring in five of the past six games, helping a once struggling offense turn things around.

Withey might have been the biggest reason that Baylor's length and size didn't overpower the Jayhawks. He started the game with an often uncommon aggression, and finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds, his second double-double of the conference season. Another quick start from Withey could space the lead before halftime.
The No. 26 ranked recruit by Rivals.com last season, Kabongo has started every game of his Longhorn career. He's averaging 9.8 points and 5.5 assists per game. Even as a true freshman, he's been a steady contributor all season and teams with Brown as one of the better guard duos in the conference.

Brown's 19.2 points per game are the best in the Big 12, and while he takes a liberal amount of shots he's still a great scorer. He's played at least 20 minutes per game in each of his three seasons in Austin and has improved in nearly every offensive category every season. His scoring though, he seen the biggest spike.

JULIEN LEWIS, GUARD
The freshman guard was a fourth-team All-American last season as voted by Parade Magazine. He's appeared in every game this season, starting 13 and is averaging 8.4 points per game.

AT A GLANCE
TEXAS
TIPOFF
It's definitely been a down year for coach Rick Barnes and his Texas squad. The Longhorns are 12-6 on the year and have struggled out of the gate in the Big 12, losers of two straight. They're 2-3 in the conference with both wins coming against Oklahoma State and Texas A&M, another pair of struggling schools. Just three of the 12 wins have come against BCS conference opponents and they have struggled to shoot the ball, coming in at just 45 percent from the field on the year. The Longhorns trailed Kansas State just one at the half Wednesday night in Manhattan, but eventually fell to the Wildcats, 84-80 to fall under .500 in the Big 12. They are 11-0 at home this season, however, and that's where you'll face Kansas Saturday afternoon.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Brown has been a scoring maching for the Longhorns this season. The 6-foot-1 junior guard has

NEVAS
Brown
scored at least 20 points on nine occasions this year with two 30-point performances mixed in. He's not afraid to shoot, either.
In the 84-80 loss to Kansas State Wednesday night, he took 28 shot attempts and finished with 22 points. Hardly effective, but he's looked upon to carry much of the scoring load for the Longhorns this season. In last season's victory over Kansas, Brown shot 60 percent from the field and had a game-high 23 points. He currently leads his team with 19.2 points per game.
QUESTION MARK
Can Texas bring back some of the magic?
Kansas and Texas have had some memorable games in the last handful of years. Rick Barnes won three of his first four over Self and Kansas but Self has had the upper hand since, winning seven of the last nine meetings. They've played in the Big 12 tournament Final three times in the Bill Self era, with Kansas winning all three. Last season, Texas came into Allen Fieldhouse and knocked off Kansas, 74-63, ending the 69-game home winning streak held by the Jayhawks. Kansas returned the favor in the Big 12 tournament Final with a 85-73 victory. This season, the teams will play two regular season games and possibly one more in the conference tournament in Kansas City.

Hear ye, hear ye: "I can't tell you how much respect I have for Bill [Self]. He's one of the best. He's the model of consistency and one of the best."

"Right now, Alex is realizing the fruits of that; if you win, none of those other things really matter. Ultimately, you get the credit and the recognition that you deserve when you win.

THE MORNING BREW Ranking the Super Bowl match ups
Following the atrocity that was the BCS National Championship, we can only
hope for a Super Bowl that will not make us want to collectively gouge our eyes out.
Luckily for us, the teams left in the playoffs possess something the Louisiana State University Tigers do not: real offenses.
By Max Lush
mlush@kansan.com
With the hope for a good Super Bowl, here are my rankings of the possible matchups. I ranked them in order of which ones I think would produce not only the best game, but also the best story lines.
1. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS VS.
NEW YORK GIANTS.
Positives: both offenses are absolutely on fire and consistently put points on the board. This offensive matchup is the most likely to entertain. It's also a rematch of one of the best Super Bowls of our generation. In 2007, Eli Manning and David Tyree's helmet saved us from the misery that would have been the Patriots' perfect season.
Negatives: smugness galore. Between
Bill Belichik and his stupid hoody, and Eli Manning begging the world to consider him elite, neither team is extraordinaryly likable for the casual fan.
2. BALTIMORE RAVENS VS.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS.
Positives: A Super 'Baugh. Two of the best young coaches in the game, John and Jim Harbaugh, also happen to be brothers and would face off in the Super Bowl. The two teams boast top-three defenses and are arguably the two hardest hitting teams in the league. Expect big hits. Seriously, expect hits that make you happy that you are on your couch and not concussed on the field.
Negatives: the two dominating
defenses and mediocre offenses mean this match up is the most likely to haunt our dreams by turning into another LSU-Alabama defensive snore-fest. Big hits and sacks are fun and all, but touch-downs are awesome too.
3. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS VS.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS.
Positives: Old dynasty versus new dynasty, East Coast versus West Coast, great offense versus great defense. There are plenty of story lines to this match up. Would the Niners be able to slow down Tom Brady and company? Would the Patriots' defense be able to stop a team not named the Denver Broncos? So many questions.
Negatives: these two teams have won a lot in their histories. Sometimes it gets old watching the same team always win. I know I'm sick of Belichik and his history of cheating in Super Bowls and I don't really want him to have the honor of another ring. As for the Niners, will their offense produce anything worth watching for the fans?
KU
4. BALTIMORE RAVENS VS.
NEW YORK GIANTS.
Positives: an elite defense in the Ravens faces a team with elite receivers and a decent running game in the Giants. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco floundered under pressure against the Houston Texans last week, and the Giants get to the quarterback better than any other team. There would be plenty of sacks to be had in this one.
Negatives: For me, a kid from California living in Kansas, this game would mean nothing. It's not that they're bad teams. It's just not a match up that makes me in the least bit excited. It's a game that's just there. It could end up being great, but there's not much in the way of story lines or interest for me.

ATHLETICS
Kansas hires Cross
Kansas football coach Charlie Weis completed his coaching staff by hiring DeMontie Cross as the linebackers coach on Thursday.
Cross, a St. Louis, Mo. native, comes to the Jayhawks from Wisconsin, where he was the special teams coordinator and safeties coach on the 2011 Big Ten Champions team that played in the 2012 Rose Bowl. That Badger team finished sixth in the nation in punt returns.
Before he was in Wisconsin,
Cross spent the previous five seasons as an assistant on the Buffalo Bills defensive staff.
By hiring Cross, Weis added a coach very familiar with the Big 12 conference to his staff. Cross played free safety for Missouu from 1994-1996, where he was named second team all-Big Eight in 1995 and second team all-Big 12 in 1996.
Cross then began his coaching career as the outside linebackers coach at Missouri before moving to coach the defensive backs at Sam
Houston State in 2000. Cross then returned to the Big 12 to be Iowa State's outside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator.
Cross is the fifth member of Weis's coaching staff with NFL coaching or playing experience, joining Weis, defensive coordinator Dave Campo, offensive line coach Tim Grunhard, and quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus.

FOOTBALL
Transfer blocked
Freshman quarterback Brock Berglund's attorney, Vince Linden, has issued a press release saying that the University denied Berglund's request to speak with other schools.
Berglund was dismissed from the Kansas football team on Monday. The University said the decision was made after Berglund missed a mandatory team meeting.
glund said that he made a request to transfer before the team meeting that he missed. He said that he informed the University that he would not be in attendance at the meeting.
On 610 Sports Radio, Ber-
Kansas coach Charlie Weis announced Berglund's dismissal, with other players leaving the Kansas football program, during Monday's press conference. Berglund, who was watching a movie with his family, was not informed of the decision until
he checked his phone and saw what he thought was a joke.
"I was informed that I was dismissed from the team, kind of on Twitter," Berglund said.
According to the press release, Berglund was notified by the Jayhawks' new quarterbacks coach, Ron Powlus, that Berglund would not start for the Kansas football team in 2012.
Under NCAA rules, Berglund cannot talk to other schools without first getting permission
from Kansas.
So Berglund asked the University for permission to explore his options and speak with other schools. Kansas denied his request. Berglund said he has not been given any explanation from the University as to why his request was denied.
Berglund is appealing the University's decision.

COMMENTARY
Kansas to take Big 12
By Kory Carpenter
kcarpenter@kansan.com
One of these years, Bill Self and his Jayhawks are going to watch another team
hoist the Big 12 championship trophy. A little more than two months ago, I predicted that 2012 would be that year, insisting that Baylor and its roster stuffed with future pros would end Kansas' ridiculous seven-year run of consecutive conference titles. The Bears have more raw talent and more professional prospects than the Jayhawks. It was true two months ago, and it will be true two months from now.
But in case you missed the 92-
74 smackdown that Kansas put
on Baylor Monday night in Allen
Fieldhouse, a few things became
quite clear.
1. Kansas isn't losing at home this season. I'm no expert on how many points home court advantages are worth, but the Old Barn was worth more than a few buckets Monday night. Baylor coach Scott Drew had to run almost to half-court a few times just to call a timeout. Communication on the court was nearly impossible and a pair of Thomas Robinson dunks brought the crowd to ear-splitting decibels that convinced you that the 16,300 fans in attendance wouldn't allow their team to lose.
2. Bill Self is still the best coach in the league. If those seven straight Big 12 titles didn't convince you, don't worry. Going back to the 1998-1999 season at Tulsa, Self has won 11 conference championships in the last 13 years. The last time Self finished a season with a losing record, Tyshawn Taylor wasn't even four years old. The staggering stats—like his 90-23 record against current Big 12 bites—go on and on.
3. Solid play from Taylor and Thomas Robinson makes them the best duo in the conference. Robinson is going to get his 17 points and 12 rebounds nearly every game, and when Taylor plays near his ceiling like he did against Iowa State and Baylor, he's one of the best guards in the country. Way back in October, when Self was answering questions about this team's apparent vulnerabilities, he brought up Taylor and Robinson at point guard and power forward. "That's not a bad place to start," Self said. He was right, and both are playing better than nearly everyone predicted and it's showing up in the wins column.
There's a difference between wanting something to happen and expecting something to happen. Nine Big 12 teams want to win the conference title. These Kansas players expect to win the conference title because that's all they've ever known. Baylor witnessed that Monday night when they were punched in the mouth and didn't know how to respond. It will happen again many times throughout the rest the conference season. Teams will look up and see Kansas sitting comfortably atop the standings while making plans for another trophy presentation. One of these years...

SUCCESS BY SPURTS
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
"I think it's hard to keep it turned up for 40 minutes if you don't sub much." Self said. "So it's kind of become a spart team."
Without a handful of minute-eating substitutes, coach Bill Self often has no choice but to run his core into a state that nears exhaustion. He doesn't tote an experienced and productive bench—a once year-to-year luxury on any team. Excluding senior guard Conner Teahan, this year's bench averages only 10 points and 38 minutes per game. So when the Jayhawks are fired up, there's a brief moment in time when they knock opponents out and seal the game for good. The rest of the game
is just getting by.
"More so than any other team we've had here, I think our energy keys us more than anything else."
As Kansas prepares for its 3 p.m. game tomorrow at Texas, it will lean on defense and hope that's what will translate to spurts.
On Monday against Baylor, most of the first half led observers to believe that it could be any team's game. There were four lead changes and several momentum swings until senior guard Tyshawn Taylor scored 11 of his team's 13 unanswered points in the final four minutes of the first half. Taylor converted wild layups with contact and swished deep 3-point shots. The Jay hawks were running and Allen Fieldhouse was rocking.
It was a spurt in its truest form.
"Spurs come, but sometimes they don't," Taylor said. "So we have to be able to stop teams from scoring because our scoring isn't going to be as fluent as it has been."

No matter when the spurs come, the Jayhawks have committed to defense and relied on its consistency. A spurt often sparks from one small play and turns into a game defining run. Against Baylor, it was Taylor's impossible layups that ignited his team and led to the victory. Against the Longhorns, any player could start a spurt.[14]
BILL SELF Coach
all starts with a little effort.
"More so than any other team we've had here, I think our energy keys us more than anything else," Self said. "Before the common denominator was talent or depth. Here, it's got to be energy because when we're turned up, we're pretty athletic and we play defense so much better."
The Jayhawks won't always depend on turnovers to get in the fast break and score. Hard-nosed defense does the trick.
Junior guard Travis Releford hangs on the rim after his slam dunk during the first half of Saturday night's game against the Iowa State Cyclones. Along with the team's strong defense, spurts have led to the Jayhawks' latest success.

"There are times when we don't get any steals, but it's maybe some of the best defense we play because we're solid." Self said. "It seems to me the last few games we've got a lot in a short amount of time because we've been a good sport team."
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Aggies could challenge Jayhawks' early success
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
The women's basketball team is off to its best conference start since 1997, and is currently second in the Big 12 behind Baylor. But, on Saturday, the team begins a three-game run that could threaten its early success. Kansas will face defending national champions No. 14 Texas A&M. No. 17 Texas Tech and No. 1 Baylor during the next eight days.
This is the portion of their schedule that will challenge the Jayhawks' precious 15-2 record and determine whether Kansas can keep up with the heavy hitters in the conference.
"We have been pretty consistent and pretty solid, and that is so important," women's coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks' biggest strength is the team's balance. The five starters scored all 65 of their points last game, but four of the players were in double figures led by Carolyn Davis with 18. Of the five starters, four are upperclassmen, and freshman Natalie Knight is adjusting quickly.
The first five conference games have brought their own challenges with three of them decided in the final minutes including a double overtime victory against Iowa State.
The frontcourt pairing of Aishah Sutherland and Carolyn Davis is fueling the Jayhawks' scoring as they continue to move through program history in scoring and rebounding totals. Sutherland pulled down 22 rebounds against Oklahoma Sate on Wednesday, which was the best since Tracy Claxton collected 28 in 1981. Sutherland has 766 rebounds and is just three points shy of 1,000 for her career.
"She got tough rebounds," Henrickson said. "Not all by herself - 1 mean, some really tough boards."
"We've got more players from a maturity standpoint that can withstand some runs, make their own runs, dig in and persevere," Henrickson said.
"My shots weren't falling from outside," Sutherland said. "So that gave me the opportunity to rip and drive more, and that really worked for me being able to finish around the rim."
As Sutherland develops her shot and starts finding some distance, she went back to the basics with her dominating performance in the paint.
Davis hit her 1,000 point mark earlier in the season. During Wednesday's game, Davis' four rebounds allowed her to work her way into history as the 14th Jayhawk with 1,000 points and
500 rebounds. Sutherland will soon reach that goal as well, if things go correctly.
Then there's Angel Goodrich, who leads the team's guards and averages 7.2 assists a game. She moved to fourth all-time with 409 assists, passing Ivana Catic after Wednesday's victory. Goodrich has been a statistical and moral leader for this team. She fills her stat line from points and assists to steals, but also leads the team in charges taken.
Henrickson said freshman guard Natalie Knight reminds her of Goodrich when she was younger. The Jayhawks are getting a quieter form of consistency from Knight who hit two of her three attempts from beyond the arc on the way to 10 points, she leads the starters with the fewest turnovers.
All of these element have worked so far to keep Kansas competitive and the team playing at a level that could make Saturday's matchup with Texas A&M interesting.
"With the next few games we have coming up the momentum is turned our way and we love that," Davis said.

KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Audience members didn't need to share a common language or culture to enjoy last night's Greater Kansas Chinese Dragon Year Gala at the Lied Center.
The KU Chinese Student and Scholar Friendship Association worked with several other Kansas area student groups and organizations to put together the Chinese New Year celebration which featured more than 200 performers. Performances included traditional dances,
music and martial arts numbers as well as acts that combined Chinese and American culture, like the KU Concert Choir performing a Chinese song, accompanied by a traditional ensemble. Kansas Lieutenant Governor, Jeff Colyer, attended the gala and reminded the audience that this week marked the Kansas's first Chinese New Year Week.
Shenji Pan, a junior from Changshu, Jiangsu, China, and president of the KUCSSFA said the group wanted the show to promote China's culture, cultivate a friendship between the U.S. and China as well as
provide Kansans an opportunity to learn more about China.
"You can see this influx of Chinese students, which also brings about this interaction between U.S. and China's younger generations," Pan said. "There's no one culture better than the other. It's all about interacting with each other and finding this harmony."
Jiayu Ma, a sophomore from Wuxi, China, and the KUCSSA member responsible for marketing the show was excited to be bringing her culture to such a large audience.
"Chinese New Year is a very big
celebration for us Chinese people," Ma said. "And this is the dragon year, the most important year."
Ma said the year of the dragon is significant because the dragon is associated with luck and power in Chinese culture.
"If you're born in the year of the dragon, which is a 12 year cycle, you're suppose to wear red underwear for the whole year," Pan said. "That means good luck for the year."
Like Christmas, the holiday comes with plenty of unique traditions. For Ma, the show was
the pay-off for six months of time and effort she put into promoting the gala, but for other Chinese students forced to spend their most significant holiday away from family, the night's performances provided much needed comfort.
"Every spring festival is after the semester has started, so we cannot go back to China," said Le Wei, a senior from Henan, Zhengzhou, China. "It's been five years for me with my family. For an American, it would be like not celebrating Christmas."
eats dumplings at their New Year's celebration. Giving money to children is also traditional and is thought to bring good luck for the year, Ma said.
Franziska Buchler, a graduate student from Munich, Germany, came to the gala to enjoy the performances and learn more about a different culture. She even researched the year of the dragon before the event.
Wei said that his family always
"I think for Kansas people it's really nice to learn more about it," Buchler said.

CAMPUS
Cold temperatures keep political graffiti alive
LUKE RANKER

In the first week of the semester, graffiti appeared on three campus buildings.
Watson Library, Twente Hall, Fraser Hall and sidewalks between them were all sprayed with red paint. The incoherent and misspelled messages referenced Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.
CJ Jernberg, an employee in the Paint and Sign Shop of Facilities Operations, said typically the department would have cleaned the graffiti off within 24 hours, but because they use a water and silica sand power washer employees have to wait for temperatures to be above freezing. He said he hoped that temperatures would be high enough to start cleaning buildings by the afternoon on Monday Jan. 23.
buildings without damaging stone and mortar. He said ideally a soda power washer would be used for graffiti, but the silica sand washer can be used for a variety of other cleaning needs.
Jernberg said the silica sand washer is the safest way to clean
Jernberg said the most common areas for graffiti are in the tunnel between Eaton and Lindley Halls, the Art and Design building and the outside stairwells of Wescoe Hall. He said commonly graffiti appears on buildings, sidewalks and campus signs.

"Sometimes it's political, sometimes it's someone's art and sometimes it's down right disgusting," Jernberg said.
He said last spring the University cleaned graffiti off buildings at least once a month, but there has been other times when campus has been graffiti free for several months.
Graffiti about Republican Candidate Ron Paul was spray painted on the wall outside of Twente Hall, Thursday afternoon.

Other news organizations waited for the Associated Press to confirm, but started disputing the reports citing Paterno family spokesman, Dan McGinn, who said the reports were false.
Then the organizations originally reporting the false stories retracted or edited their reports. CBS Sports pushed the blame to Onward State by adding its attribution to the original story.

After the Onward State report, CBS Sports published an obituary on its website, but did not attribute the breaking news to Onward State. MSNBC's Breaking News, The Huffington Post and Poynter also published the story.
In a letter to readers, Onward State managing editor Devon Edwards an apology to anyone mis lead by the report. He also wrote that he would step down from his position.

The college's radio station, BWH-FM 94.5,
echoed the statement 20 minutes later, but
did not name a source.
According to a time line report by Jeff Sonderman from The Poynter Institute, Onward State, a student-run website for Penn State, first mis-reported Paterno's death at 8:45 p.m. EST in a tweet stating "Our sources can now confirm: Joseph Vincent Paterno has passed away tonight at the age of 85." Its source said an email was sent to football players about Paterno's death.
A student editor resigned and professional news organizations were embarrassed Saturday after a false report about former Pennsylvania State University football coach Joe Paterno's death 12 hours before he actually died.
"I take full responsibility for the events that transpired tonight, and for the black mark upon the organization that I have caused."

Missionary to speak out after being held hostage
Members of the al-Qaida-linked Abu Sayafy militant group kidnapped Gracia Burnham and her late husband, Martin, in May 2001. The couple had been celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at a resort in the Philippines.
TOPEKA — A former missionary held hostage for more than a year will speak about the experience next month at Washburn University.
Gracia Burnham was wounded and her husband died in the June 2002 rescue effort that freed her.
The mother of three now lives in the south-central Kansas community of Rose Hill. Since being freed, she has written two books.
Washburn Student Government and the group Christian Challenge are sponsoring the Feb. 2 lecture in the White Concert Hall. The event is free and open to the public.

Elderly woman loses home to government
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEFTROIT — The federal government now says a 101-year-old Detroit woman it promised could move back into her foreclosed home four months ago can't return because the building's unsanitary and unsafe.
Texana Hollis was evicted Sept. 12 and her belongings placed outside after her 65-year-old son failed to pay property taxes linked to a reverse mortgage, The Detroit News reported in a story Sunday. Two days later, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said she could return.
But now, HUD said it won't let Hollis move back in because of the house's condition. She had lived
there about 60 years.
"Here I am, 100 years old, and don't have a home." Hollis said, rounding off her age. "Oh Lord, help me."
Department spokesman Brian Sullivan told The Detroit News that an inspection determined the house "was completely unsuitable for a person to live in."
"We can't allow someone to live in that (atmosphere) now that we are essentially the owners of the property," Sullivan said. "The home isn't safe; it's not sanitary. It's certainly not suitable for anyone to live in, especially not a 101-year-old mother."
HUD doesn't want to pay to fix up the house, but Sullivan said the department's seeking other agen-
ies that might help with the work' and get Hollis back into her home.
"We're not giving up." Sullivan said. "We're talking with anybody and everybody about solutions to this situation, but the condition of the property is a challenge"
After hearing about her longtime friend's eviction, Pollian Cheeks, 68, offered Hollis a room at her home within a mile of Hollis' house. Hollis, who once taught Cheeks in Sunday school at St. Philip's Lutheran Church, agreed to the invitation and has been staying at Cheeks' house in the meantime.
"Polly's just as nice to me as anybody could be. She goes out of her way to help me," Hollis said, holding back tears. "It's just like living at home, but it's not my home."

Hollis was evicted from her home in September because her son, Warren, failed to keep up with mortgage payments.

The Arab League's mission to end violence in Syria struggles to succeed
BEIRUT — A clash between Syrian forces and army defectors erupted Sunday in a suburb of the tightly held capital of Damascus, adding urgency just as the Arab League was extending an observers' mission that so far has failed to end long months of bloody violence.
The two events outlined how an uprising against President Bashar Assad that started with mass popular protests is moving now toward an armed conflict that could draw international intervention — an outcome the Arab League is trying to avoid.
The observer mission is supposed to be the first step toward implementing an Arab League plan to end the Syria crisis. Other points are pulling heavy Syrian weapons out of cities, stopping attacks on protesters, opening talks with the opposition and allowing foreign human rights workers and journalists in.
Thani told reporters after the meeting that the Arab League was launching a new initiative to solve the crisis in which the Syrian government and the opposition would form a unity government with in two weeks to lead to the country through a transitional period in which elections would be held and a new constitution written.
It was seen as highly unlikely that Syrian authorities or the leaders of Syria's scattered opposition would agree to such a plan.
KANO, Nigeria — People in this north Nigeria city once wore surgical masks to block the dust swirling through its sprawling neighborhoods, but swarming children hawked the masks for pennies apiece Sunday to block the stench of death at a hospital overflowing with the dead following a coordinated attack by a radical Islamist sect.
NIGERIA
The Nigerian Red Cross now estimates more than 150 people died in Friday's attack in Kano, which saw at least two suicide bombers from the sect known as Boko Haram denate explosive-laden cars. The scope of the attack, apparently planned to free sect members held by authorities here, left even President Good luck Jonathan speechless as he toured what remained of a regional police headquarters Sunday.
Two terroist attacks in attempt to free sect members, kills 150 in Nigeria
"The federal government will not rest until we arrest the perpetrators of this act." Jonathan said earlier.
Friday's attacks by Boko Haram hit police stations, immigration offices and the local headquarters of Nigeria's secret police in Kano.
Nigeria's weak central government repeatedly has been unable to stop attacks by Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa language of Nigeria's north. The group has carried out increasingly sophisticated and bloody attacks in its campaign to implement strict Shariah law and avenge the deaths of Muslims in communal violence across Nigeria.

Teenager completes sailing voyage around the world in one year
PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten — Laura Dekker set a steady foot aboard a dock in St. Maarten on Saturday, ending a yearlong voyage aboard a sailboat named "Guppy" that apparently made her the youngest person ever to sail alone around the globe, though her trip was interrupted at several points.
Dekker arrived in St. Maarten after struggling against high seas and heavy winds on a final, 41-day leg from Cape Town, South Africa.
"There were moments where I was like, 'What the hell am I doing out here?' but I never wanted to stop," she told reporters. "It's a dream, and I wanted to do it."
The teenager covered more than 27,000 nautical miles on a trip with stops that sound like a skim through a travel magazine: the Canary Islands, Panama, the Galapagos Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Bora Bora, Australia, South Africa and now. St.Maarten, from which she set out on Jan. 20, 2011.
Unlike other young sailors who recently crossed the globe. Dekker repeatedly anchored at ports along the way to sleep, study and repair her 38-foot (11.5-meter) sailboat.
During her trip, she went surfing, scuba diving, cliff diving and discovered a new hobby: playing the flute, which she said in her weblog was easier to play than a guitar in bad weather.

Beijing's measurements uncover suspiciously low levels of air pollution
BEIJING Caving to public pressure. Beijing environmental authorities started releasing more detailed air quality data Saturday that may better reflect how bad the Chinese capital's air pollution is. But one expert says measurements from the first day were low compared with data U.S. officials have been collecting for years.
The readings of PM2.5 — particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in size or about 1/30th the average width of a human hair — were being posted on Beijing's environmental monitoring center's website. Such small particulates can penetrate deep into the lungs, so measuring them is considered a more accurate reflection of air quality than other methods.
It is the first time Beijing has publicly revealed PM2.5 data and follows a clamor of calls by citizens on social networking sites tired of breathing in gray and yellow air.
Steven Andrews, an environmental consultant who has studied Beijing's pollution data since 2006, said he was "already a bit suspicious" of Beijing's PM2.5 data. Within the 24-hour period to noon Saturday, Beijing reported seven hourly figures "at the very low level" of 0.003 milligrams per cubic meter.
"In all of 2010 and 2011, the U.S. Embassy reported values at or below that level only 18 times out of over 15,000 hourly values or about 0.1 percent of the time," said Andrews.
CAMPUS
Students look to diversify their studies
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
In the midst of a tough economy, students are diversifying their undergraduate experiences to be more competitive in the postgraduation job market.
Dan Simon, a junior majoring in microbiology from Olathe, works in a lab on campus studying Chlamydia, which allows him to gain real-world research experience that employers often look for.
"It's important to make yourself stand out," Simon said. "Lots of students get good grades, but with contributing to original research, you don't just learn, you do."
Since the beginning of his sophomore year, Simon has worked under Scott Hefty, a KU assistant professor of molecular biosciences. While he first worked to learn the technical language and high-level concepts, he eventually took on his own project funded by the American Society for Microbiology Undergraduate Research Fellowship. Only 28 other students in the nation have received funding for projects, and Simon will present his work next year at a national convention in San Francisco.
"Being able to have my own research project has been the most significant experience of my undergraduate career," Simon said.
Simon obtained his current position from making cold calls to professors to see if they had open positions in their lab. After looking into Hefty's previous work and considering his own interests, he
knew he found a good match.
"Professors are really excited when undergraduates are interested in their research and are encouraging and helpful in assisting them participate in research projects," Simon said.
Paul Atchley, associate chair of undergraduate studies and professor of cognitive psychology, thinks flexibility and diverse experience are important for undergraduates.
"What employees are looking for are folks who have skills outside of just their degree," Atchley said. "No student should expect that just taking classes and getting their degree will lead to success."
Atchley suggests students look into studying abroad, service learning opportunities, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, and participating in research, like Simon. These experiences grow students who are flexible, work well with others, and are skilled in information literacy — skills that employees are looking for, Atchley said.
While specialized degrees can teach technical skills, Atchley also recommends graduates increase their capabilities not directly related to their curriculum.
"Thinking critically, the ability to write, and working with information and other people is important," Atchley said. "It's not about learning facts, it's about learning processes. That's what employers need - intelligent, curious, social employees."
In the future, KU is looking to redesign its degree programs to include greater course diversity.

"Growing up, I was a big Pride and Prejudice fan," she says. "But I kind of got into 'True Romance' or 'Braveheart', too. You know, ACTION films."
Pretty enough to model, she took up martial arts as well. And thanks to her skills in the ring and her drop-kick-dead good looks, she became a stand-out star in the world of professional mixed martial arts.
up wins and winning fans. One of those fans was the filmmaker Steven Soderbergh ("Oceans Eleven," "Contagion"). In Carano, he saw a female actor action who could "kick the $% out of" any cast he could assemble around her. So he assembled some big-name actors and put Carano in "Haywire," which has her playing a secret agent fighting her way through legions of bad guys. Carano may be Hollywood's next big thing.
As a girl, shed studied jazz, tap and ballet dancing, which makes fight choreography come easy to her. Soderbergh has been telling one and all that his hardest job was convincing co-stars like Michael Fassbender that the didn't have to go easy on her just because she's a woman.
"It's been a wonderful, wonderful risk," Carano says of the path she took to the world of film. "I took that risk and got a wonderful life and better opportunities."

Family and fans mourn loss of legendary singer
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Etta James, the fiery blues singer known best for her uncharacteristically sweet ballad "At Last," died Friday morning in Riverside, Calif., after a long battle with chronic leukemia. She was 73.
One of the first women inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, James began her career in 1954, at the age of 15, with her group The Creolettes and theracy-for-its-time hit "Roll With Me Henry." Her bold delivery and powerful voice quickly separated her from the crowd, as did her groundbreaking choice of material, leading Atlantic Records' producer Jerry Wexler to call her "the greatest of all modern blues singers."
Alicia Keys
"This is a tremendous loss for the family, her friends and fans around the world," longtime friend and manager, Lape De Leon told CNN. "She was a true original who could sing it all—her music defied category."
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Etta James performs at the Orange County Blues Festival, Dana Point, Sept. 26, 1993, James, the legendary rhythm and blues singer, has died, her son said Friday. She was 73 and had been in failing health for years.
James, born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles in 1938, was tougttaking and forward in her music—scoring hits with "Good Rockin' Daddy" and "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" and "W.O.M.A.N.",
an answer song to Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man." But there was also an ache in her voice, even before her very public battle with heroin addiction in the '60s and '70s, that showed she wasn't invincible, especially in "All I Could Do Was Cry" and in her interpretations of such classics as "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "My Funny Valentine".
"Music was thunder and joy, lightning bolts of happiness and praise, foot-stomping, dance-shouting, good-feeling singing from the soul." James wrote in her autobiography, "Rage to Survive: The Etta James Story." "I was also lucky to have the lungs to keep up with these bad boys. When it came to singing, I was no shrinking violet."
There has been a surge in interest in James' music in recent years, following Beyonce's portrayal in the movie "Cadillac Records" in 2008 and the use of "At Last"
for Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance after his inauguration in 2009, pushing James' version of the song back onto the pop charts.
On the current season of "The X Factor", teenage singer Rachel Crow chose James' wrenching "I'd Rather Go Blind" as her theme, while the year's biggest star, Adele, has called James "her favorite singer ever."
"Everything she sings—you believe her, even if she never wrote a word of it herself," Adele told The Observer last year. "I saw her live in New York not so long ago; extraordinary. There she was, at the age of 71, singing. 'I want to
ta ta you, baby"—almost groping herself, as if the meaning was clear enough already. She just has so much attitude."
James retired from recording in 2011, after releasing her final album "The Dreamer" in November, featuring her hard-hitting takes on everything from Otis Redding's "Cigarettes and Coffee" to Guns "Nees" Welcome to the Jungle."
"I wish to thank all my fans who have shown me love and support over all these years," James said in a statement accompanying the album's release. "I love you all."

New pop culture cable channel called AXS
LOS ANGELES — Four of the biggest players in the entertainment industry Ryan Seacrest, Mark Cuban, concert giant AEG and Hollywood powerhouse talent firm Creative Artists Agency are teaming up to launch a new pop culture cable channel.
Called AXS (short for access), the cable network is envisioned to focus primarily on live programming aimed at entertainment aficionados. It is to include a heavy diet of concerts and lifestyle shows and use production facilities at AEG's downtown L.A. Live complex as its on-air home base.
"The industry in Los Angeles is a sport." Cuban said of the channel's plans to cover show business on a 24/7 live basis. The network's flagship show is to be called "AXS Live," which Cuban described as a "SportsCenter" for pop culture and music.

Point counterpoint: Voter ID Regulations
A new Kansas law now requires that voters present a form of photo identification at the polls. Two columnists present opposing arguments on the bill's photo identification requirements Each columnist presents an argument and then responds to three of the other person's points.
From the Left
Something happened after the 2008 election. Greater turnout of young voters provided a boost for the Obama campaign, and when he won the presidency, the Republican Party panicked.
The panic resulted in a slew of states passing laws requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, as well as some laws eliminating early voting on Sundays.
The government cannot overreach its power and begin impeding the ability of certain age groups and other specific populations of citizens to reach the polls. Such a practice is disturbingly reminiscent of the poll tax.
According to the New York Times, the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School conducted a study that found at least five million legal, eligible voters would face difficulties at the poll if these laws were still in effect in 2012. This is largely because a portion of the electorate, often groups who are marginalized in other ways due to economic status or minority status, does not have state-issued photo identification.
These laws also specifically affect students who are not trying to subvert the law but simply want to exercise their right to vote.
This is a specific effort targeted at young people and students because of their inclination to vote for the Democratic candidate. They are targeted because they often have to vote away from home, and these laws have effectively invalidated many college IDs as a form of identification (as some universities now must revamp their student ID card systems, which takes time and money), causing problems for out-of-state students trying to register to vote (New York Times, Dec. 2011).
By taking away measures that facilitate voting for students, a group that already votes in small numbers will have even less incentive or ability to vote.
But Republican lawmakers are not concerned about the low voting trend among young people and are happy to stifle the voices of the students who do want to participate in the political process because it better serves their interests.

a legal firearm, but in order to exercise that right, I have to present ID and undergo a background check.
It is obviously true that in order to purchase items like alcohol or tobacco, or in order to fly on an airplane, or drive a car, or use a credit card, one must have state-issued ID. This is exactly why the requirement of photo identification at the polls marginalizes a specific group in the electorate: the people who are not able to do any of the above activities, namely because they cannot afford such conveniences, are the ones who do not have state-issued ID.
The right to vote is fundamental. It of course encompasses the right to physically cast a vote on election day. But it also includes our right to not have our legitimate votes nullified by illegal acts such as voter fraud.
The key in the right-wing argument is that these isolated incidents of voter fraud are pinned on liberals who are given a bad name because of groups like ACORN. Obviously most Democrats do not support voter fraud, as they value just as much as other party members the foundations of equal political representation. Some Republicans just use isolated cases like this to justify the very discriminatory practice of essentially eliminating a portion of the Democratic electorate.
In 2008, the Supreme Court upheld Indiana's Voter ID law. The opinion was written by none other than liberal Justice John Paul Stevens.
While the idea that voter ID laws don't really have an effect on turnout for Democratic voters based on the Indiana law is interesting, I find it to be irrelevant. The point of giving every citizen the right to vote without unnecessary obstacles is not about advancing one party over the other; it is about one's individual rights in relation to the political process. This is why I agree that a vote is fundamental and should be safeguarded in the sense that each individual's ability to vote should be protected.
Kelly is a senior in political science and English from Overland Park
Kansas' new voter ID law is a commonsense defense of the integrity of our electoral process. Proving your identity is an accepted, routine, and necessary part of society. Driving, flying, making financial transactions, and buying items such as alcohol, tobacco, and firearms all require a photo ID.
We are fortunate that voter fraud is not endemic in our state. However, the legacy of "vote early and often" is still alive in some areas of the country thanks to groups like ACORN (particularly in battle ground states). To prevent this problem from seeping into Kansas, the state has adopted the most practical method of preventing voter impersonation, double voting, and fictitious registrations.
From the Right
The left has decried these laws as voter suppression, but these objections are completely unfounded. In early 2008, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Indiana's voter ID law, the strictest in the nation, was in fact constitutional. Liberal Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that Indiana's law was "amply justified by the valid interest in protecting the integrity and reliability of the electoral process." Despite the same alarmist claims from the left that we're hearing now in Kansas, President Obama went on to win Indiana in the November election and the state had the nation's highest percentage increase in Democratic turnout from the 2004 Presidential election (8.3%).

RESPONSES:
(Kelly's arguments are in italics. Christian's responses are below).
This is a specific effort targeted at young people and students because of their inclination to vote for the Democratic candidate. They are targeted because they often have to vote away from home, and by taking away measures that facilitate this process, a group that already votes in small numbers will have even less incentive to vote.
The law allows college students to use their University issued ID cards to vote. Indent voters that cannot afford a photo ID card can get one free through the Department of Revenue. Registered voters who show up without a photo ID can cast a provisional ballot. The only way this law targets Democratic voters is if they are committing fraud.
I understand legislators' desire to implement some sort of system to prevent voter fraud; however, the government cannot overreach its power and begin impeding the ability of certain age groups and other specific populations of citizens to reach the polls. Such a practice is disturbingly reminiscent of the poll tax.
The comparison of voter ID laws to the poll tax is pure demagoguery by the left. Requiring a photo ID to vote is vastly different from the old Jim Crow laws, especially since the government now issues ID cards to the poor free of charge. Moreover, voters still have to bear the time and transportation costs of physically getting to the polls on election day, yet no one reasonably considers that a poll tax.
There is surely a less drastic way to effectively eliminate voter fraud that does not trample the rights of law-abiding citizens.
Voter ID laws across the country have withstood legal challenges because opponents have failed to show even one instance where individuals would suffer an unreasonable hardship in order to vote. These laws have now been passed in 30 states and are supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans. Nearly every American has a form of accepted ID and those who do not can get one for free.

Never lose your identity while in a relationship
Since childhood, we are taught to put others before ourselves. Don't be so self-centered. Think of others.
And often when we're in relationships, we take that and assume that's the best way to make love last.
But when it comes to dating, this mind set could be harmful. If we aren't careful about when to put our needs first in relationships, we could end up jeopardizing our personal identities altogether.
But because I was blinded by my feelings for him, I missed the warning signs that my so-called loving relationship was really an abusive one. Out of insecurity and jealousy, he started exhibiting signs of controlling behavior that I ignored until they drove me away. Throughout our relationship, he criticized my friends, went through my phone twice, and once became hostile when I wanted to go to a party he wasn't invited to.
Over two years ago, my then-boyfriend and I were convinced that we were meant to be. I don't believe in destiny, but if it did exist, we were part of it. We were madly in love, and I couldn't think of anything that would ruin
Finally, he told me whom I wasn't allowed to talk to and that certain clothes of mine should be worn only around him. As a result I became extremely territorial over my possessions and very distant from him. Even though
that.
By Rachel Kieth
rkieth@kansan.com
I kept my struggle a secret from everyone, my friendships were as strong as ever, even the ones he told me I couldn't have.
I stopped trusting my boyfriend and became too paranoid to even allow him to be alone in my apartment. I couldn't even keep a personal diary without worrying about him reading it. And with that, I felt trapped. It was then that I finally recognized
That doesn't mean I don't love my current boyfriend. But I'm up front with him about who I am. He knows I am myself first and his girlfriend second. I care about my relationship and our harmony as a couple, but I am who I am.
I had to choose between my identity and my boyfriend and figured that if I didn't have my individuality, I wouldn't have anything. I wouldn't settle for that then. And now I never do.
So rather than settling for what we can get, we must be strong in our expectations for our relationships. We have to set high standards and never let our identities become lost in what we think is
Abusive relationships can literally be fatal, so it's crucial for us to have solid identities that contribute to a relationship rather than drown in it. We have to recognize our individuality and maintain it to prevent becoming silenced in a relationship like mine. We have to own who we are and embrace "I" and "me" even when our relationships make us a "we."
We all need to make that pledge now, our significant others included. Our lives could depend on it.

Trip to Senegal stresses values in community
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
This past summer, a KU student's journey to Africa gave him a new perspective of the world. Collin Edwards, a KU graduate student studying Urban Planning, spent six weeks in Senegal, located in West Africa, learning about the region's culture, promoting development, and gaining a greater global perspective.
"My first thought was that I would just help them build a well," Edwards said. "But I soon realized that development also meant building relationships, personal and community empowerment, and spiritual growth."
Edwards had been looking for overseas mission trips and discovered Discipling for Development through his involvement with Navigators, an on-campus Christian organization.
"For the first three weeks, I lived with a Senegalese family," Edwards said. "We had no running water, only bucket showers, and no electricity."
Currently, the country has only a 59 percent literacy rate, and a life expectancy of 60 years with
an infant mortality rate of 5.6 percent.
Having only spent time overseas in Europe, Edwards's experience in Africa made him realize that American society has a skewed view of wants and needs.

"What we perceive as needs are just things that we've been lucky enough to enjoy," said Edwards.
"In the community, everything is expected to be shared," said Edwards. "For dinner, we would sit on the floor, and everyone ate off the same plate with a spoon."
The work with community development focused on changing the mind set of the culture, which is still recovering from many years of French colonization that ended in 1960.
Edwards noticed several differences between Sengalese and American culture.
According to the State Department, 94 percent of the 12.6 million Senegalese practice Islam. Nearly 80 percent of the workforce makes their living through agriculture, with 60percent of the country living in rural regions.
"A big focus was helping them see that they can help themselves," said Edwards. "And make them more capable to use resources to better themselves." Still, the country receives a great deal of foreign aid, $85 million of which comes from the US government.
Also, Senegalese men are allowed to take in multiple wives. Edwards also noticed that having a schedule and being on time is not part of Sudanese culture.
"You could come over anytime and stay as long as you wanted," said Edwards. "People are more important than the schedule."
Edwards spent the final three weeks living in the city with other missionaries.
"We would observe, listen, see what problems they were having, and see what we could do to help," said Edwards.

Later, Woods lived with American missionary families.
who had learned to adjust to the different way of life.
Edwards interned with two other Americans, one of whom was Nick Woods who attended the University of Oregon. Woods said he enjoyed having other Americans nearby to experience life in Africa with him. Woods and Edwards stayed with Muslim families in the same town for three weeks, so they were able to ride bikes to each other's houses.
"I saw how American families can come to a third world country and call it home," said Woods.

"Sometimes you just want to hang with other Americans and talk about the differences between our states, or even watch a movie at a missionary's house," said Woods. Still, Woods and Edwards both said they appreciated the opportunity to connect with others with a far different background.
Edwards said that whenever he reflects on his experience he feels he gained a greater appreciation for others.
"I learned to value friendship over work," said Edwards. "Our society tends to value work more than being with people."
Edwards also gained greater appreciation for the lifestyle he's been blessed with.
He also said that his time abroad gave him greater global awareness and appreciation for the lifestyle he has been blessed with.
"It's a privilege to be a minority and to have nice things," said Edwards. "We shouldn't hoard our blessings and instead help those who don't have the things we do."
Helping others is a great responsibility American society has, according to Edwards.
"We have a lot to give," said Edwards. "There's a lot of people who are living with a lot less and
are still joyful."
Despite the many differences between American and Senegalese cultures, Edwards sees a great deal of universality between people.
"We're all not that different," Edwards said. "We all have the same emotions and are trying to make life work."

Marijuana mouth spray plans to sell in American markets
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — A quartercentury after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first prescription drugs based on the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, additional medicines derived from or inspired by the cannabis plant itself could soon be making their way to pharmacy shelves, according to drug companies, small biotech firms and university scientists.
A British company, GW Pharma, is in advanced clinical trials for the world's first pharmaceutical developed from raw marijuana instead of synthetic equivalents—a mouth spray it hopes to market in the U.S. as a treatment for cancer pain. And it hopes to see FDA approval by the end of 2013.

permission to grow it to develop a prescription drug. Guy proposed the idea at a scientific conference that heard anecdotal evidence that pot provides relief to multiple sclerosis patients, and the British government welcomed it as a potential way "to draw a clear line between recreational and medicinal use," company spokesman Mark Rogerson said.
"There is a real disconnect between what the public seems to be demanding and what the states have pushed for and what the market is providing," said Aron Lichtman, a Virginia Commonwealth University pharmacology professor and president of the International Cannabinoid Research Society. "It seems to me a company with a great deal of vision would say, 'If there is this demand and need, we could develop a drug that will help people and we will make a lot of money.'"
In addition to exploring new applications for Sativex, the company is developing drugs with different cannabis formulations.
"We were the first ones to charge forward and a lot of people were watching to see what happened to us," Rogerson said. "I think we are clearly past that stage."
patients are cautiously optimistic about Sativex. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has not endorsed marijuana use by patients, but the organization is sponsoring a study by a University of California, Davis neurologist to determine how smoking marijuana compares to Marinol in addressing painful muscle spasms.
Possessing marijuana still is illegal in the United Kingdom, but about a decade ago GW Pharma's founder, Dr. Geoffrey Guy, received

Gabrielle Giffords resigns; recovering
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — In part, the short video has the feel of a campaign ad: the strains of soft music, the iconic snapshots of rugged Arizona desert, the candidate earnestly engaged with her constituents.
"I have more work to do on my recovery," the congresswoman says at the end of the two-minute-long "A Message from Gabby," appearing to strain with all of her will to communicate. "So to do what's best for Arizona, I will step down this week."
Interspersed with the slick montage of photos and sound, though, is a video close-up of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords gazing directly at the camera, offering not a campaign promise but a goodbye, a thank-you message to her supporters in a voice that is both firm and halting.
Arizonaans had to know in their hearts that this day was come.
A bullet to the brain, from point-blank range, is a nearly impossible obstacle to overcome, even for a congresswoman known
for pluckiness and fight. Giffords seemed to accept that reality in the video announcing her resignation from Congress, which also included a promise to return one day to her mission to help Arizonans.
The clip, posted to YouTube and on her Facebook page, pastes together 13 sentences into a fluid announcement. Giffords wears a bright red jacket eerily similar to the one she was wearing a year ago when she was nearly assassinated. She looks straight into the camera, almost begging the viewer to listen.

But the video also includes images of the 41-year-old struggling at rehab and walking along a leafy street with husband Mark Kelly with an obvious limp. And Giffords acknowledges that, at least for now, she isn't up to taking on a re-election challenge.
The announcement comes just over a year after a gunman opened fire at Jan. 8, 2011, meeting with constituents in front of a Tucson grocery store. Six people were killed, and Giffords and 12 others wounded.
GOP presidential candidates flock to Florida
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. — Now it's Florida's turn.
And Republican presidential rivals Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have just 10 days to navigate a state unlike any they've competed in so far. Florida is six times larger than New Hampshire, has almost five times more Hispanics than Iowa, and, with numerous media markets, is much more expensive for candidates than South Carolina. That's where Gingrich trounced Romney on Saturday night, suddenly scrambling the GOP presidential race ahead of Florida's Jan. 31 primary.
"It's been fascinating spectator sport so fat," Beth Schiller, 48, said inside Buddy Brew Coffee shop the next morning. "But it's coming here now. They're all coming."
Indeed, the remaining candidates in a shrunken field — Romney, Gingrich, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul — planned to be in the state Monday for the first of two presidential debates this week.
All eyes were certain to be on what's essentially a two-man race.
After a crushing South Carolina defeat, Romney no longer faces the prospect of wrapping up the nomination quickly and now is forced to regroup. He has spent months planning for the Florida campaign, essentially building a firewall in the state. He has the largest organization of any candidate. And he and his allies combined have had the TV airwaves all to themselves for weeks, already spending
roughly $6 million combined. The former Massachusetts governor's areas of strength in the diverse state may be with the transplanted Northeasterners and snowbirds along the Gold Coast.
But now there are doubts about whether he can knit together the broad cross-section of Republican voters he'd need to win in this state, much less the nomination.
"I'm looking forward to a long campaign," Romney said on "Fox News Sunday," an acknowledgment that he wouldn't sew up the nomination with a Florida victory as aides once had hoped.
Gingrich, for his part, will work to keep his momentum going despite continued division among tea party and religious activists who, to a certain degree, continue to divide their support between him and Santorum. The state's conservative panhandle may be fertile ground for the former Georgia lawmaker who talks of his Southern roots often. His team also is working hard to court evangelicals, who vote in drove in the state's GOP primaries and who tend to look skeptically on Romney.
He dramatically trails Romney in fundraising and organization in the state, underscored by his launching of an online "money bomb" Saturday night to try to raise $1 million to help fund his efforts in Florida.
"My job in Florida is to convince people that I am the one candidate who can clearly defeat Obama in a series of debates and the one candidate who has big enough solutions that they would really get America
back on track," Gingrich told CNN's "State of the Union."
His South Carolina victory is certain to change the dynamics in a state where Romney has led in polls for weeks.
"People want to get behind a winner," said Tom Gaitens, co-founder of the Tampa Tea Party and state director for the conservative organization FreedomWorks. "People will be drawn to Newt like a magnet."
Florida's size and diversity creates challenges for all the candidates. And the issues may be far different than those in the previous states.
There are 10 distinct media markets in Florida, which helps explain the tremendous cost of running a statewide campaign here.
And the voters are anything but homogenuous.
Northern Florida along the panhandle is as close to the South as the state offers. It's the least populated and considered the most culturally conservative. Southeastern Florida, including the Miami area, is traditionally not as conservative as the rest of the state, offering a large Latino population and many Northeastern transplants and Jewish voters. The bulk of the state's Republicans, including a significant collection of evangelicals, live along central Florida's Interstate 4 corridor, including Tampa and Orlando.
Exit polling from the 2008 GOP primary shows that approximately 39 percent of voters identified themselves as born-again or evangelical Christians. That's a significant voting bloc Gingrich has been targeting. He won evangelicals

soundly in South Carolina, where they constituted roughly 65 percent of the electorate.
Ronney is already on television running an advertisement in Spanish. Gingrich plans to do the same. The Gingrich team is based in the Miami area, the epicenter of the state's considerable Cuban population. Cubans make up roughly a third of the state's Hispanic population and figure to play prominently.

Florida is a retirement mecca, so expect discussion about Social Security. It's also home to a number of environmentalists working to protect the coastline and fight drilling, so those topics are all but certain to be touched on. And with a heavy influx of Hispanics, immigration is certain to be raised.

COMMENTARY
Withey spreading his wings
By Clark Goble
cgoble@kansan.com
ThomasRobinson and Tyshawn Taylor drive the Kansas basketball machine. Without the duo, the Jayhawks would struggle to generate points and probably give up way more offensive rebounds.
But as Kansas continues to evolve into a Final Four-caliber team, we can't forget about the development of junior center Jeff Withey.
Here's a guy who played six minutes per game last year and a total of four minutes in the Jayhawks' nine games last March. He was, at best, a big body that could pick up a few fouls, alter a few shots and slam a few dunks.
He's so much more to the Jayhawks now, thanks to an offseason of weight training and teaching from big man coach Danny Manning.
Withey averages a block every 7.37 minutes on the floor. His 14.75 block percentage — a measure of the percentage of shots blocked by the player while he's in the game — ranks fifth in the nation, just above Kentucky freshman Anthony Davis' 14.28 percent.
Withey didn't have his best game in Kansas' 69-66 win in Austin on Saturday, finishing just 2-of-7 from the field and blocking two shots in thirty minutes of action.
His presence in the paint still altered Texas' offensive attack — the Longhorns hit just 30.9 percent of their two-point attempts. The threat of a Withey blocked shot can almost be as effective as an actual blocked shot.
Withey also came up clutch in the final minute, corralling a Robinson "assist" and finishing a layup while getting fouled by the Longhorn's Myck Kabongo. Withey hit the free throw, giving the Jayhawks a two-point lead with 37 seconds remaining.
Ken Pomeroy, a basketball analyst who runs the site KenPom.com, created a similarity matrix that allows the website to compare any current player to one from the recent past, using each player's statistics and role on the team to make the correlation.
Withey is certainly a unique player — a seven-footer who blocks a high number of shots, grabs lots of offensive rebounds and shoots more than 80 percent from the foul line. You can't walk into any gym in America and find a Jeff Withey.
His most similar connection is relatively weak, ranked 837 on a 1000 scale. Pomeroy urges his site's visitors to use the similarity scores carefully, especially ones less than 850.
That being said, the most similar player to Withey this year is Cole Aldrich from his final season at Kansas, 2009-2010.
Aldrich fouled a little less and rebounded more, but also shot a worse percentage from the free-throw line. Aldrich was a bigger part of the offense and played more minutes, too, so it's clear that Withey doesn't impact the game the way Aldrich did.
The comparison is still fascinating.
Robinson and Taylor must play well for Kansas to make waves in March. But the play of Withey will certainly impact the Jayhawks' chance at a Big 12 title and a run in the Big Dance.

Down three points with one second left, the Jayhawk killer, Texas junior guard J'Covan Brown, hurled a fadeaway three. The shot clanked off the rim, wide left, and No. 7 Kansas (16-3, 6-0) escaped with a 69-66 victory on Saturday afternoon.
"He still got a look that scared me," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said of Brown, who was defended by junior guard Elijah Johnson and sophomore forward Justin Wesley on the final shot. "I thought it was going in when he shot it."
He said his mother wasn't
It was Kansas' closest victory of the season, with only the 67-63 victory over Georgetown in the Maui Invitational bearing any resemblance. For a team with aspirations of success in March, Self echoed the importance of games like these.
One year after his mother's death, and one year after Brown scored 23 points and ended Kansas' 69-game winning streak at Allen Fieldhouse, junior forward Thomas Robinson started slowly, logging just six points and one rebound in the entire first half.
"Coach was saying how good this was for us in the time out when we were down four points," Taylor said. "Games like this are always learning experiences. This is how teams get better, having close games and fighting on the road."
on his mind when he was out there.
"No disrespect," Robinson said. "But that's something that I have to live with every day. For the media it's the anniversary."
"It's a regular day," Taylor said. "Just coming out here and doing work."
Without Robinson's typical production in the early stages of the game, Taylor took charge, slashing to the hoop and knocking down 3-point shots. He finished with 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and perhaps more important than any other statistic, 0 turnovers.
"Maybe it was that guy that said something bad about him on Twitter," Self said of Taylor's three-game streak of more than 20 points scored.

Robinson returned to his more typical, aggressive form in the second half, posting 11 points and 8 rebounds. He grabbed four rebounds in the final 4:19 and squeezed a pass through Texas' interior defense to find junior center Jeff Withey for a three-point play with 37 seconds left.
After missing his first three attempts, Robinson sunk his fourth shot from the free throw line, setting up Brown's final miss.
"I thought they were more active than us," Self said. "But we got the key ones late."

Angel Goodrich scored, rebounded and drew charges. The junior guard even led her team in scoring with a career-high 28 points, but the one thing she couldn't do was defeat the defending national champion Aggies - at least not by herself.

Goodrich was disappointed with the number of turnovers and admitted she didn't respond well to the pressure.
"I wanted to push the ball more but I felt like I was just getting frustrated with myself with all the turnovers and I can't let that happen to me as a point guard," Goodrich said. "I have to keep myself composed and keep the team on the same page."
"It's uncharacteristic for her, it's a credit to their pressure and they got into her pretty good." Henrickson said. "But I love the fact that she is that aggressive offensively, love it."

"Inside they are big, they're physical and they got into us pretty good defensively and offensively," Henrickson said. "They played pretty good post defense, I thought, and pressured the ball.

But on Thursday last week, Bill Selfpersonated the famous prophet Nostradamus and inadvertently predicted how the Jayhawks would end up beating the Longhorns 69-66, three days later.
At first glance, it would appear that Kansas won Saturday's game against Texas in the final three minutes. After all, Kansas out-scored the Longhorns 9-2 in the final minutes to remain defeated in Big 12 play.

Coach was dead on.
Kansas would go on to shoot seven-for-nine from the floor during the ensuing run. Texas missed their next 19 shots, going scoreless for six minutes, 53 seconds.
As for Kansas, coach Self was pleased with the result. After all it was just like he said earlier in the week; his starters played over 30 minutes in the game, and the team relied on an early run spurred by strong defense that Texas simply could not handle.
The spurt gave Kansas a 22-7 lead. It was one that Texas would not overcome until just over five minutes were left.
Robinson got a steal and then an assist on the resulting Tyshawn Taylor layup. The play was the spark the lajayhs needed to set off the their barrel of gunpowder.

The closeness of the end of the game on the road was just an added experience for the team.
And yes, the Longhorns fought their way back from the double-digit deficit they faced for the majority of the game.
But the Longhorns had a spurt of their own that left them with a four-point lead with three minutes left in
the game.
Due to the large deficit and the close finish, Texas had to play its starters more than it normally would have, leaving them exhausted in the final minutes. Senior center Clint Chapman played 34 minutes Saturday and was a force for the Longhorns, recording 15 points, nine rebounds and four blocks.

Late mistakes cost 49ers trip to Super Bowl
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO—Kyle Williams put his hands on his helmet and dropped his head in disgust. A second big mistake by its backup punt returner did in San Francisco at the worst possible time.
Williams fumbled in overtime to set up Lawrence Tynes' 31-yard field goal, and the 49ers lost the NFC championship game to the New York Giants 20-17 on Sunday.
Williams, returning kicks in place of the injured Ted Ginn Jr., muffed one punt early in the fourth quarter to set up a goahead touchdown for New York, then was stripped by Jacquian Williams in overtime to give the Giants the ball at the 24.
"You hate to be the last guy that had the ball, to give it away in that fashion and to lose a game of this magnitude," Williams said. "It is what it is. We're going to move forward as a team. Everyone has come to pat me on the back and the shoulder to say it's not me."
After three runs and a kneedown, Tynes kicked the
game-winner, and Williams slowly made a dejected walk back to the locker room as the 49ers missed out on a prime chance to go to the Super Bowl.
"It will be a tough one," coach Jim Harbaugh said. "It will take a while to get over."
The fact that turnovers did in San Francisco was truly surprising. The 49ers tied an NFL record with just 10 giveaways all season — including none on special teams — and had a plus-28 turnover margin in the regular season. They took advantage of five New Orleans turnovers to win 36-32 last week but were on the wrong end in this game because of Williams.
Williams, the son of Chicago White Sox general manager Ken Williams, did not look smooth fielding punts after doing it just twice in the regular season.
He made a dangerous, sliding catch on one return and called a fair catch on another with room to run. He then made his first big miscue after San Francisco forced a punt early in the fourth quarter while protecting a 14-10 lead.
Steve Weatherford hit a short, bouncing punt that Williams came up to try to field. He backed away at the last minute, but the ball glanced off his right knee and was recovered by Devin Thomas at the San Francisco 29. The play was originally not ruled a fumble but was overturbed by instant replay.
"I told him we're all in this together," San Francisco All Pro linebacker Patrick Willis said. "I believe in him. If I had a do-over, he'd still be my guy back there. He's a tremendous athlete."
Six plays later, Eli Manning threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham, who beat backup cornerback Tramaine Brock on third-and-15. Brok was playing in place of starter Tarell Brown, who left late in the third quarter after a violent collision with teammate Dashon Goldson.
Williams helped atone for his miscue when he returned the ensuing kickoff 40 yards to help set up David Akers' tying field goal late in regulation.
But on his second return in overtime, Williams gave the ball

away again. He fielded the punt at the 19 and was stripped by Jacquian Williams. Thomas once pounced on the ball at the 24, setting up the Giants' winning kick and ending San Francisco's most successful season in years.
Harbaugh got the Niners to the brink of the Super Bowl in his first season, taking over a 6-10 team and going 13-3 to win the NFC West. The ability to protect the ball and cause turnovers was the biggest reason for the turnaround.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But the Niners forced no turn-overs by the Giants and were ultimately done in by Williams' costly giveaways.
"It was one of those situations where I caught the ball, tried to head upfield, tried to make a play and it ended up for the worse," Williams said.
The Niners really did miss
New York Giants celebrate 20-17 overtime WIN against San Francisco 49ers for NFC Championship.
Ginn, who injured his right knee in last week's thrilling 36-32 win over New Orleans. San Francisco was already thin at receiver after releasing Braylon Edwards late in the regular season and was unable to get anything out of its wideouts this game.
San Francisco's wide receivers had just one catch all game — a 3-yarder by Michael Crabtree on a third-and-5 play before Akers' tying field goal with 5:39 left in regulation.
The bulk of San Francisco's offense came on two big passes from Alex Smith to Vernon Davis. They connected on a 73-yarder to open the scoring in the first quarter and a 28-yarder to take a 14-10 lead in the third.
The 49ers converted just one of 13 third downs all game, with the only conversion coming on the final play of regulation, leaving
plenty of blame to go to players besides Williams.
44.
"We all know him," Smith said. "We know how committed he is to winning. It's not on him. I look at the 1-for-13 on third downs. I know he's going to feel bad, but he's still part of our team. We didn't lose the game there. We lost it across the board offensively. We just couldn't get it done."
So now instead of the 49ers' coach taking on his brother, John, in the "Superbaugh" in Indianapolis in two weeks, the Harbaughs will be watching the big game in part because of special teams.
John's Ravens fell earlier in the day to New England 23-20 when Billy Cundiff pushed a 32-yard field goal attempt wide left in the closing seconds of the AFC title game.

His death came just over two months after his son Scott announced on Nov. 18 that his father had been diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer. The cancer was found during a follow-up visit for a bronchial illness. A few weeks later, Paterno broke his pelvis after a fall but did not need surgery.
Paterno had been in the hospital since Jan. 13 for observation after what his family called minor complications from his cancer treatments. Not long before that, he conducted his only interview since losing his job, with The Washington Post. Paterno was described as frail then, speaking mostly in a whisper and wearing a wig. The second half of the two-day interview was conducted at his bedside.
His family released a statement Sunday morning to announce his death: "His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled."
"He died as he lived," the statement said. "He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy
Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community."
Paterno built a program based on the credo
"This is a tragedy. It is one of the greatest sorrows of my life."
of "Success with Honor," and he found both. The man known as "JoePa" won 409 games and took the Nittany Lions to 37 bowl games and two national championships. More than 250 of the players he coached went on to the NFL.
"He will go down as the greatest football coach in the history of the game," Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said after his former team, the Florida Gators, beat Penn State 37-24 in the 2011 Outback Bowl.
Paterno roamed the sidelines for 46 seasons, his thick-rimmed glasses, windbreaker and jet-black sneakers as familiar as the Nittany Lions' blue and white uniforms. He won 409 games and two national championships.
But in the middle of his 46th season, the legend was shattered. Paterno was engulfed in a child sex abuse scandal when a former trusted assistant, Jerry Sandusky, was accused of molesting 10 boys over a 15-year span, sometimes in the football building.
The reputation he built looked even more impressive because he insisted on keeping graduation rates high while maintaining onfield success.
Paterno at first said he was
fooled. But outrage built quickly when the state's top cop said the coach hadn't fulfilled a moral obligation to go to the authorities when a graduate assistant, Mike McQuary, told Paterno he saw Sandusky with a young boy in the showers of the football complex in 2002.
At a preliminary hearing for the school officials, McQuary testified that he had seen Sandusky attacking the child with his hands around the boy's waist but said he wasn't 100 percent sure it was intercourse. McQuary described Paterno as shocked and saddened and said the coach told him he'd "done the right thing" by reporting the encounter.
Paterno waited a day before alerting school officials but never went to the police.
"I didn't know which way to go ... and rather than get in there and make a mistake," Paterno said in the Post interview.
"You know, (McQuary) didn't want to get specific," Paterno said. "And to be frank with you I don't know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man. So I just did what I thought was best. I talked to people that I thought would be, if there was a problem, that would be following up on it."
JOE PATERNO Penn State head coach
When the scandal erupted in November, Paterno said he would retire following the 2011 season. He also said he was "absolutely devastated" by the abuse case.
"This is a tragedy," he said. "It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."
But the university trustees faced a crisis, and in an emergency meeting that night, they fired Paterno, effective immediately. Graham Spanier, one of the longest-serving university presidents in the nation, also was fired.
Paterno was notified by phone, not in person, a decision that board vice chairman John Surma later regretted, according to Lanny Davis, an attorney retained by the trustees as an adviser.
The university handed the football team to one of Paterno's assistants, Tom Bradley, who said Paterno "will go down in history as one of the greatest men, who maybe most of you know as a great football coach."
"As the last 61 years have shown, Joe made an incredible impact," said the statement from the family. "That impact has been felt and appreciated by our family in the form of thousands of letters and well wishes along with countless acts of kindness from people whose lives he touched. It is evident also in the thousands of successful student athletes who have gone on to multiply that impact as they spread out across the country."
Paterno believed success was not measured entirely on the field. From his idealistic early days, he had implemented what he called a "grand experiment" — to graduate more players while maintaining
success on the field.
He was a frequent speaker on ethics in sports, a conscience for a world often infiltrated by scandal and shady characters.
The team consistently ranked among the best in the Big Ten for graduating players. As of 2011, it had 49 academic All-Americans, the third-highest among schools in the Football Bowl SubDivision. All but two played under Paterno.
"He teaches us about really just growing up and being a man," former linebacker Paul Poslusny, now with the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, once said. "Besides the football, he's preparing us to be good men in life."
Paterno certainly had detractors. One former Penn State professor called his high-minded words on academics a farce, and a former administrator said players often got special treatment. His coaching style often was considered too conservative. Some thought he held on to his job too long, and a move to push him out in 2004 failed.
But the critics were in the minority, and his program was never cited for major NCAA violations. The child sex abuse scandal, however, did prompt separate investigations by the U.S. Department of Education and the NCAA into the school's handling.
Paterno played quarterback and cornerback for Brown University and set a defensive record with 14 career interceptions, a distinction he still boasted about to his teams in his 80s. He graduated in 1950 with plans to go to law school. He said his father hoped he would someday be president.
But when Paterno was 23, a former coach at Brown was moving
to Penn State to become the head coach and persuaded Paterno to come with him as an assistant.
"I had no intention to coach when I got out of Brown," Paterno said in 2007 in an interview at Penn State's Beaver Stadium before being inducted into college football's Hall of Fame. "Come to this hick town? From Brooklyn?"
In 1963, he was offered a job by the late Al Davis — $18,000,
triple his salary at Penn State, plus a car to become general manager and coach of the AFL's Oakland Raiders. He said no. Rip Engle retired as Penn State head coach three years later, and Paterno took over.
At the time, the Lions were considered "Eastern football" — inferior — and Paterno courted newspaper coverage to raise the team's profile. In 1967, PSU began a 30-0-1 streak.
But Penn State couldn't get to the top of the polls. The Lions finished second in 1968 and 1969
despite perfect seasons. They were undefeated and untied again in 1973 at 12-0 but finished fifth. Texas edged them in 1969 after President Richard Nixon.
A national title finally came in 1982, after a 27-23 win over Georgia at the Sugar Bowl. Another followed in 1986 after the Lions picked off Vinny Testaverde five times and beat Miami 14-10 in the Fiesta Bowl.
They made several title runs after that, including a 2005 run to the Orange Bowl and an 11-1 season in 2008 that ended in a 37-23 loss to Southern California in the Rose Bowl.
In his later years, physical alliments wore the old coach down.
Paterno "will go down in history as one of the greatest men, who maybe most of you know as a great football coach."
impressed with the Longhorns' bowl performance, declared them No.1.
Paterno was run over on the sideline during a game at Wisconsin in November 2006 and underwent knee surgery. He hurt his hip in 2008 demonstrating an onside kick. An intestinal illness and a bad reaction to antibiotics prescribed for dental work slowed him for most of the 2010 season. He began scaling back his speaking engagements that year, ending his summer caravan of speeches to alumni across the state.
"I'd like to know," Paterno said later, "how could the president know so little about Watergate in 1973, and so much about college football in 1969?"
TOM BRADLEY
Assistant to Paterno
Then a receiver bowled over Paterno at practice in August, sending him to the hospital with shoulder and pelvis injuries and consigning him to coach much of what would be his last season
from the press box.
"The fact that we've won a lot of games is that the good Lord kept me healthy, not because I'm better than anybody else," Paterno said two days before he won his 409th game and passed Eddie Robinson of Grambling State for the most in
Division I. "It's because I've been around a lot longer than anybody else."
Paterno could be conservative on the field, especially in big games, relying on the tried-and-true formula of defense, the running game and field position.
"They've been playing great defense for 45 years," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said in November.
Paterno and his wife, Sue, raised five children in State College. Anybody could telephone him at his modest ranch home — the same one he appeared in front of on the night he was fired — by looking up "Paterno, Joseph V." in the phone book.
He walked to home games and was greeted and wished good luck by fans on the street. Former players paraded through his living room for the chance to say hello. But for the most part, he stayed out of the spotlight.
Paterno did have a knack for jokes. He referred to Twitter, the social media site, as "Twittle-do, Twittle-dee."
He also could be abrasive and stubborn, and he had his share of run-ins with his bosses or administrators. And as his legend grew, so did the attention to his on-field decisions, and the questions about when he would hang it up.
Calls for his retirement reached a crescendo in 2004. The next year, Penn State went 11-1 and won the Big Ten. In the Orange Bowl, PSU beat Florida State, whose coach, Bobby Bowden, was eased out after the 2009 season after 34 years and 389 wins.
Like many others, he was outlasted by "JoePa."

Jayhawks lose dual meet to Razorbacks
ALEC TILSON
atilson@kansan.com
In its third competition in as many weeks, the Kansas swimming and diving team lost its dual meet Saturday in Arkansas, posting just two first-place finishes on the road against a difficult SEC opponent.
The Razorbacks took first place in the first seven events, grabbing a lead they would control throughout the day, and eventually defeating Kansas 199-96 at Arkansas Natatorium in Fayetteville, Ark.
"We weren't that competitive," Kansas coach Clark Campbell said. "It was a pretty rough meet for us."
Campbell attributed the cumulative effect of classes beginning and the team's entering a new, more intense training phase as the reasonthe Jayhawks struggled.
Kansas senior Stephanie Payne placed first in the 400-yard individual medley, followed by teammates Alison Moffit, sophomore, in second and Rebecca Swank, junior, in third.
Swank, who Campbell called "quite the iron woman" for her performance, swam the three longest events. She finished second in the 1650-yard freestyle, fourth in the 500-yard freestyle and third in the 400-yard individual medley.
"They have a wonderful distance program at Arkansas so my goal going in was to be competitive."
Swank said. "I just took it one event at a time and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out"
The team's other first-place finish came in the 800-yard freestyle relay, with senior Shannon Garlie, junior Brooke Brull, sophomore Morgan Sharp and freshman Deanna Marks teams up for the victory.
Junior diver Christy Cash placed third in the one-meter and three-meter diving events. Cash and sophomore diver Alyssa Golden threw higher degree-of-difficulty dives than earlier in the season in preparation for the Big 12 Championships next month.
The team will train throughout the week as they work towards stronger, faster times.
(1)
The team begins a deserved bye week before traveling to Ames, Iowa for a dual meet against Iowa State on Feb. 3.
"It was a good opportunity for them to get up there and try new things," Campbell said. "When you try new things, the margin for error is very small."
Edited by Nadia Imafidon
"We need a break from competition," Campbell said. "We've spent time creating this huge engine on each of our athletes and we need that engine to speed up and it just takes some time to get there."
Junior Rebecca Swank swims in the 1650 yard freestyle against Illinois in October. According to Kansas Coach Clark Campbell Swank was iron woman this weekend against Arkansas by swimming in the three longest events.

Patriots survive the Ravens and head to fourth Super Bowl
PLAYOFFS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady waited out the final tense minutes on the sideline and somehow his fourth-quarter leap into the end zone held up, sending the New England Patriots back to the Super Bowl.
With New England leading by 3 points with 11 seconds left, Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal attempt and the Patriots escaped with a 23-20 win Sunday in the AFC championship game.
On his 1-yard scoring dive with 11:29 left, Brady took a huge hit from Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, then emphatically spiked the ball as he walked away. Earlier, Brady showed his fire by barking at Lewis following a hard tackle on a 4-yard run.
Next up as the Patriots chase their fourth Super Bowl trophy in Brady and coach Bill Belichick's tenure in New England is the winner of Sunday's NFC championship game between the Giants and 49ers. The Super Bowl is Feb. 5 in Indianapolis.
In their last trip to the big game, the Patriots had an 18-0 record when they were stunned by the Giants four years ago. They won the NFL championship for the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons. This time, they had to the Sup Bowl with a 10-game winning
streak.
Brady's fifth trip to the Super Bowl will equal John Elway's achievement with Denver.
"We're going to try to go out and kick some butt in a couple of weeks," Brady said.
Before Cundiff missed, the Ravens had a chance to go ahead two plays earlier, but wide receiver Lee Evans was stripped of the ball in the end zone by backup cornerback Sterling Moore, who earlier was victimized for a touchdown that gave Baltimore the lead 17-16.
Then Cundiff misfired, and the Patriots stormed off their sideline in celebration as the chilled crowd roared.
Brady needed help not only from Cundiff's botched kick in guiding the patriots (15-3) to their fifth AFC title in 11 seasons, but from New England's maligned defense.
A three-time NFL champion, Brady didn't throw for a touchdown for the first time in 36 games, although he did pass for 239 yards.
"We stepped up," Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. "We all
"Well, I (stunk) pretty bad today, but our defense saved us," Brady said. "I'm going to try to go out and do a better job in a couple of weeks, but I'm proud of this team, my teammates."
stepped up big time. Being in this situation is a great moment. You have to cherish this moment."
The Patriots shut down Ray Rice, the league's total yardage leader, who was limited to 78 yards. Brandon Spikes made a fourth-quarter interception of Joe Flacco, who played well before that and threw for two touchdowns. And when the Ravens (13-5) were threatening to score a late touchdown to win their first conference title in 11 years, New England clamped down.
"It's two great football teams, two gladiators, I guess, just kind of going at each other at the end, and I'm proud of our guys," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "You know, we've got 53 guys, mighty men, as we like to call them — and they fought, and we came up a little bit short, as 53. You know, 53 win and 53 lose."
With Rice a nonfactor, Baltimore had to rely on Flacco, and he delivered one of his best performances. Flacco has led the Ravens into the playoffs in all four of his pro seasons, but not to the Super Bowl. He was 22 for 36 for 306 yards and touchdowns of 6 yards to Dennis Pitta and 29 to rookie Torrey Smith.
The loss hardly could be blamed on Flacco.
Operating against a maligned
secondary missing its top cornerback, Kyle Arrington, who left in the second quarter with an eye injury, Flacco gave Baltimore its first lead. His short pass on third down to explosive receiver Smith turned into a 29-yard scamper down the right sideline after Moore completely whiffed on the tackle.
Danny Woodhead's fumble on the ensuing kickoff set up Baltimore at the Patriots 28, but a third-down sack forced Cundiff to kick a 39-yard field goal, making it 20-16.
New England didn't flinch.
Brady took the Patriots 63 yards in 11 plays, and seemed to score on a 1-yard run. The call
"Those guys fought all year, and just like today, it wasn't
was overruled by replay, though, and on fourth-down, he dived just high enough over the line for the winning points.
held Baltimore to minus-4 yards on its first three first-down runs and forced the Ravens to go three-and-out each time. Meanwhile, the Patriots put together a methodical 13-play, 50-yard drive helped greatly by an illegal contact penalty on Lardarius Webb that negated a tipped interception by Bernard Pollard.
always perfect, but they fought to the final gun and we came out on top." Belichick said.
But Brady was sacked for the first time by Paul Kruger and Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 29-yard field goal.
Defense was particularly dominant early on — New England's 31st-ranked defense. The Patriots
"Those guys fought all year and just like today, it wasn't always perfect but they fought to the final gun and we came out on top."

the sideline to
the sideline to a wide-open Smith. Had the pass not been short, Smith likely would have sprinted into the end zone. Instead, it was a 42-yard gain, not bad at all given Baltimore's previous ineptitude with the ball.
Vicious impetus with the ball.
Cundiff's 20-yard field goal momentarily tied it.
Brady, perhaps peeved by his poor throw that Webb picked off, hit two passes for 29 yards on a
75-yard drive to make it 10-3. BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for 36 yards on that series, and also drew a personal foul against Webb, who ripped off the running back's helmet on a short rush. Green-Ellis surged into the end zone from the 7, then pointed to the patch on his jersey honoring Myra Kraft, the late wife of Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Going back to the pass, the Ravens tied it on a 6-yard throw to Pitta — yes, Baltimore has some dangerous tight ends, too
that concluded an 80-yard march. Flacco opened the drive with a 20-yard completion to Evans and then Anquan Boldin escaped Arrington's attempted tackle to gain 37 more yards on a reception. Flacco was finding holes in New England's coverage, particularly when he moved out of the pocket.
New England's All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski made an error at the end of a 63-yard drive, failing to keep two feet in bounds on a catch. Gostkowski's 35-vard field goal made it 13-10.
Gronkowski left for a while with a left leg problem, but soon returned.
"It's a real credit to the players," Belichick said. "I am real happy they will get to play in this game."
SOFTBALL
Wounded Warrior softball team defeats all star squad
ASSOCIATED PRESS
But on a recent Saturday afternoon, a crowd at a Tampa-area stadium watched him drill a pitch from former U.S. Olympic softballer Jennie Finch over an outfielder's head and use his hightech prosthetic legs to run out a triple — finishing with a belly-flop slide into third base. His Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team crushed an all-star squad that included former pro and college players 23-8.
PLANT CITY, Fla.—When a roadside bomb in Afghanistan shredded Marine Lance Cpl. Josh Wede's legs in 2009, the former high school baseball star wondered if he would even survive —let alone walk, run or play ball again.
Wege, 22, plays first base for the barnstorming bunch of Army and Marine combat veterans, most of whom rely on prosthetic limbs. Corporate sponsorships have allowed the team to travel around the country playing local teams for charity, amassing a 14-13
All of the infielders are missing at least one of their legs. Two of the outfielders use those special carbon-fiber running legs, the ones that look like upside-down question marks, for speed. One outfielder is missing a hand, and the right-fielder plays without his entire left arm and shoulder.
record going into a game Sunday against a team of first responders in Orange County, Calif. And their schedule is growing, with 75 games already booked for 2012.
His name is Greg Reynolds, and after most Wounded Warrior losses he challenges the toughest dude on the other team to a push-ups contest. He lets opponents use both arms, but the 27-year-old Massachusetts native has only lost once. Seventy is his record.
"There is no better feeling than to get on the field and have people think, 'You can't play, you only have one arm,'" says Reynolds, a former soldier who survived a harrowing tour of duty in Iraq only to lose his limb in a motorcycle accident back home. "But watch me play. Watch me play."
They play slow-pitch softball, but this is not your casual Thursday night beer league. And the in-your-face nature of their disabilities doesn't inspire pity or sympathy — at least not after they start punishing the ball, flying around the bases and making highlight-reel plays in the field. Finch's Fellowship of Christian Athletes team won the other two games last weekend, including a 13-11 squeaker in the rubber match.
Watch what I do."
At Wounded Warrior games, kids ask for their autographs, women hug them and veterans pump their hands in gratitude.
"The first time we got to see him play with these incredible ballplayers, I couldn't see the field because I was crying too much," says Dave Wege, Josh's father, a Lutheran school principal in Waucousta, Wis. "It was such an emotional thing because at that point we knew that Josh was not only back, he was stronger than before in so many ways."
Coach David Van Sleet, who
worked in prosthetics for the military for 30 years, started the team 10 months ago and retired in December to manage it fulltime. He got some players from a tryout at the University of Arizona and picked up others along the way, relying on word of mouth at the Veterans Affairs hospitals and rehabs centers. They come together for the weekend outings from around the country, always trying to fit in a practice before the games.
The team travels with 11 players who proudly wear around $2 million worth of prosthetic limbs, and no matter the weather they won't wear long pants. They want fans — particularly those with disabilities — to see they are different, but just as good.
"We got a good bunch of guys," says the 55-year-old Tucson resident Van Sleet, who is not an amputee himself. "A lot of amputees are depressed, sitting at home, not getting off the couch. And we say, 'Look you don't have to do anything at this level, but you need to get up and go do"
something.' We try to encourage other amputees to maybe get back into a normal state of life, one way or another. They've got to get going."
Brian Taylor Urruela, 26, is the catcher and one of the players who wears a curvy running leg. The former solider from St. Louis lost his right leg below the knee to a roadside bomb in Iraq in October 2006, two days before he was scheduled to finish his tour and come home. The former high school baseball player said it took hundreds of practice swings and other physical therapy work to develop his hitting again, but he figures he's nearly as fast on the prosthetic as he was before.
"When you have a disability like this you have a feeling that you're never going to be able to do competitive sports again," said Urruela, who is going to school in Tampa. "If you look at us, we're just about as good as any team that plays as much as we do, and we do that with missing limbs. But we were ugly when we first started. It's just a testament to what kind
of rehabilitation this game gives to us."
5
Josh Wege, the team's only double amputee, said he jumped at the chance to play ball again but acknowledged his initial fears that he might not be able to do it at a level that suited him. He got help and encouragement from his sister, a physical therapist who worked with him to develop balance and other athletic skills he would put to use on the field.
The morning of the first of three games against Finch's team, Wege's dad tossed batting practice to him on a Plant City, Fla., softball field. Dave Wege watched his son spray line drives all over the lot, grinning with each satisfying "thunk" of the aluminum Louisville Slugger.
"One thing we say as amputees is we're trying to get back our new normal," Wege said. "Our limbs aren't going to grow back any time soon, so this is the normal you're going to have to get used to. Without this team, my new normal wouldn't be complete."

THE MORNING BREW A year to remember in college football
E
Exactly two weeks ago, Alabama defeated LSU in one of the most painful football games I have ever seen. Don't make the case that it was just a defensive match up between the two best defenses in the nation, the Crimson Tide defense didn't cause Jordan Jefferson to become incapable of handling a snap.
As everyone in Kansas gears up for the new era under Charlie Weis, here is countdown, from least to most important of my final three thoughts about this year's college football season.
By Ethan Padway
epadway@kansan.com
3. What happened to defense?
Throughout the season, there were lots of high scoring, shootout style games, starting with the Baylor-TCU game in the opening week. During the game it seemed that no one could make a stop.
That game was a perfect indicator of things to come. Eventual Heisman trophy winner Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III threw almost as many touchdown passes (five) as incomptuous (six), and the offensive onslaught with a late Baylor interception ended TCU's comeback hopes. Baylor would finish its season with another offensive showcase in their 67-56 Alamo Bowl win. Teams that pride themselves on a staunch defense, such as Kansas State, found themselves in similar shootouts throughout the year, including a 53-50 four overtime victory
over Texas A&M.
2. No matter who's playing, in the end, the SEC wins. While the folks in the dark shadowy boardroom that represent the BCS continue to claim having playoffs will ruin the importance of the regular season, they fail to realize that chances increase of rematch in the national title game every year. How important was the regular season if Alabama's November loss to LSU didn't affect their chances of making it to Super Dome? But I should really just stop complaining, clearly the SEC hype machine has the whole world believing that their conference is so good, that no one else even deserves a chance to play for the national championship. Then again, winning six consecutive BCS titles gives them a right to brag.
KU
1. College basketball knows how to crown a champion. Everyone loves
March Madness. From the thrill of the first round upsets (or the pain from slamming your head against the wall as he who must not be named pulls up from behind the arc and sends the ball clean through the hoop like a dagger inserted into your heart to seal the upset.), to knowing every team in the country has a chance to at least play in the big dance, to watching John Calipari and his team of freshman flame out every year. There is no comparison in college football, and there won't be until college football institutes a playoff.

Forsman claims third title in season opener
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KAUPULEHU-KONA, Hawaii— Dan Forsman won the season-opening Mitsuishi Electric Championship on Sunday for his third Champions Tour title, closing with a 3-under 69 in windy conditions for a two-stroke victory over Jay Don Blake.
The 53-year-old Forsman, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, finished with a 15-under 201 total at Hualalai Resort and earned $307,000 in the 41-man event. He opened with rounds of 67 and 65 to take a two-stroke lead into the final round.
Blake birdied the final hole for a 67. He finished last season with a victory in the Charles Schwab
Championship.
John Cook, the 2011 winner, shot a 68 to tie for third with Michael Allen at 12 under.
A warm wind that gusted up to 25 mph kept scores relatively high on one of the senior tour's easiest layouts. It was the first time since 2000 that the winner didn't have a sub-200 score at Hualalai.
Forsman protected his lead with three birdies in the first 11 holes. His first bogey since Friday and only his second of the week still left him with a two-shot edge after 12 holes, and he held off Blake with a birdie and five pars on the closing holes.
Forsman struggled with a painful left hip last year, and had just one top-10 finish. He dropped
to 45th on the money list after finishing in the top 10 in his first two seasons on the 50-and-over tour.
Cook eagled the 10th and added three birdies.
Gary Hallberg (68) and Jeff Sluman (71) tied for fifth, four shots behind Forsman.
Watson tied for seventh at 10 under. It was Watson's ninth top-10 finish in 12 starts at Hualalai.
Mark Calcaveccia, Jay Haes,
Brad Brantv and 62-year-old Tom
Calcavechia has seven consecutive top-10 finishes on the tour, dating to his win last year at the Boeing Classic. He matched Hallberg for the low round Sunday with a 66.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Angel Goodrich, Junior Guard
With the rest of the Kansas offense struggling get in any sort of rhythm offensively, Goodrich had to carry the offensive momentum with her career high 28 points. Goodrich was extremely efficient on the night knocking down 11 of 16 shots, including 2 of 4 from three-point range. The one asterisks next to Goodrich's night. 11 turnovers, the most by any individual Jayhawk this season.

GAME TO FORGET
Carolyn Davis, Junior Forward
Failing victim to two early fools, Davis had to sit for a decent portion of the first half. Although Davis said it wasn't a factor after the game, the Aggies frontcourt defensive presence appeared to hinder her. Davis finished the game with 3 of 6 from the floor and only finished with 10 points and four rebounds. The only good thing about Davis' game was her continued success at the free throw line. She was 4 of 5 from the charity stripe.

Turnovers topple Jayhawks
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Playing against a defending national champion is something very few teams get a chance to do, let alone twice in one year.
Kansas will get another shot at No.14 Texas A&M, last year's champion, later this season, but the first round went to the Aggies on Saturday night as they defeated the Jayhawks 76-65.
"We dug ourselves a hole in the first between turnovers and foul trouble," Kansas women's basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "They got into us and got pretty good separation."
Right out of the gate, the Jayhawks did not seem in rhythm offensively. They threw away

The Jayhawks hope to learn from this game quickly, as they move on to another quality opponent, No.17 Texas Tech, on Wednesday.
"What I liked is that we were trying to be aggressive, but against a team like that, you can't waste possessions," Henrickson said. "We wasted a lot of possessions early."
passes, could not stop the Aggies when they drove in the lane and failed to convert easy shot attempts. All of this resulted in an early 10-2 score in the Aggies' favor.
mendous all night, creating 23 total turnovers. A&M takes pride in their defense, particularly when they face a guard of Goodrich's caliber.
Kansas also ran into issues when their biggest low-post threat, junior forward Carolyn Davis, picked up two fools early in the first half.
Davis picked up only one more foul in the game, but still struggled on the offensive end, finishing with only 10 points—well below her 18.1 points per game
season average.
Despite the loss, senior forward Aishah Sutherland reaching the 1,000-point plateau was a highlight for the Jayhawks. She is the 25th Kansas women's basketball player to reach this mark.
"It honestly didn't really bother me much," Davis said. "I wanted to play, and I knew I was going to have to play with fouls, and I was going to have to be smart."
This put a great deal of anxiety on junior guard Angel Goodrich to carry the load offensively for the Jayhawks.
Taking more shots allowed Goodrich to establish a career high of 28 points. However, her 11 turnovers are what really bothered Goodrich after the game.
The Aggies' defense was tre-
"I'm very grateful to go down in history in this program," Sutherland said. "It just feels great to be able to do that."

SWINDLING STUDENTS
THEFT IS TOP CAMPUS CRIME
RACHEL SALYER
rsalery@kansan.com
When Greg Cholakis heard the door to his four-person Ellsworth suite open, he didn't think anything of it. He and his roommates had an open-door policy, so he assumed it was a friend, but the click of an ethernet cable sent him sprinting from his bed.
"I saw my Xbox was gone," said Cholakis, a sophomore from Long Island, N.Y. "I ran out the door, but I didn't see anyone.
Cholakis found two men upstairs. One was carrying his Xbox, and the other had the Xbox stand, games and movies.
"When they wouldn't give it back, I yanked it out of their hands," Cholakis said. "Then I told the R.A."
Cholakis isn't the only student to experience this crime. Records reported by the Office of Public Safety show that theft was the most common crime on campus during the fall semester.
Official numbers won't be available until February, but the Office of Public Safety reports all data to crimereports.com. According to online records, 64 thefts were reported from Aug. 22 to Dec. 16, 2011, accounting for 56 percent of all campus crimes. Captain Schuyler Bailey, who has been with the University for 27 years, said he thinks that theft is prevalent on college campuses everywhere.
Although theft has been occurring on campus through the
years, records show a 32 percent decrease in the last five years. In 2005, 291 thefts were reported, and 199 were reported in 2010.
Bailey thinks that student inattentiveness is the biggest cause of theft and attributes the decrease to more student awareness.
"We go to all 22 sessions of orientation, so the message is continual," Bailey said. "We want people to know that they play a role in the protection of their property."
Additionally, the University's 240 cameras also play a role in keeping theft down.
"They act as a deterrent," Bailey said. "And then if something happens, it is also a way to establish suspects."
Every residence hall has cameras monitoring entrances, and many campus buildings have cameras, but those were still the two most common places for theft to occur. Thirty-one percent of thefts occurred in buildings, and 20 percent took place in residence halls and campus apartments.
Items recovered after theft can be difficult to return unless the Office of Public Safety is sure to whom it belongs.
"I need to be able to prove that the specific item is yours," Bailey said. "iPods, computers, these things are all mass-produced, and we need a way to determine it belongs to you."
The best way to identify an item as yours is by writing down serial numbers, taking photos
and video of items and having things engraved. Legal Services for Students recommends insurance as another way to protect yourself.
"We encourage people to have renters insurance and to look at full-coverage car insurance," said Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney for Legal Services for Students. "Their parents' home owner's insurance may even cover some things. But it's not just about having insurance. It's understanding what all your insurance coverage provides."
Renters insurance in Lawrence costs anywhere from $8 to $19, according to StateFarm's website. The price differences between the monthly charges make a big difference, Hardesty said.
"One price likely covers the current value of an item taken, while the more expensive price will cover the full replacement cost. That way, if your things are taken, you have a place to start. And more importantly, you're not at a total loss."
This was a lesson Cholakis had to learn the hard way, but he said it was a lesson he only had to learn once.
"It's a shame stuff like this happens," Cholakis said. "I definitely do things differently, but I learned to be prepared for the worst, and the best way to do that is be aware."

Students audition for dance
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Forty University of Kansas students demonstrated their dancingtalent as they vied for spots in the University Dance Company Monday night in the Robinson Center.
"It's about finding the talent here at KU and discovering who is passionate about the art," said Kelly Casper, a freshman from Rogers, Minn.
This semester, four faculty choreographers as well as a guest artist are looking to cast student dancers in their performance ensembles for the University Dance Company, which will perform April 19 and 20 in the Lied Center.
"This exposure to professional choreographers gives them an edge when they graduate," said Professor Michelle Hayes, chair of the department of dance. "In professional dancing, there are so many dancers for so few spots."
This year's guest artist is the dance company Black Label Movement, based in Minneapolis, Minn.
"I feel extremely nervous when I'm preparing but it's important to give yourself a pep talk," said Alexa Rush, a sophomore from Spring, Texas. "Confidence is the key. Judges can definitely see that."
Typically, 35 dancers are cast in at least one production for the Company. Dancers vying for spots put in much practice for the try out.
Rush practices twice a week for a total of eighths. Although she
did not make the Company last semester, she's hoping her practice has paid off.
"You have no idea what they're going to throw at you. It's a very fast paced audition." Rush said.
Four auditions were being held, encompassing three styles: one ballet, one jazz and two modern. Each tryout lasted 15 to 20 minutes where dancers learned phrase -segment of choreography - on the spot and then performed it for choreographers.
Sullivan said she enjoys the people in the Company. The faculty and dancers alike develop close friendships. The Company practices twice a week for two hours during each session in the evenings. Even with a full schedule, Sullivan says it's worth it..
Kenna Sullivan, a junior from Chicago is trying out for the fifth time hoping for her fourth consecutive spot in the Company. Even though she's a veteran to the process, she still puts a great deal of effort into preparing.
Time management is also an issue. Most dancers are taking a full load of classes. About half of the cast are majoring in something besides dance.
"The faculty's styles are diverse and adapting to them can be challenging." Sullivan said.
"University Dance Company opens a lot of different doors when you pursue a career in dance," Sullivan said.

Student charged in endagement case
RACHEL SALYER
rsaler@kansan.com
A University student charged with aggravated endangerment of a child and attempted violation of a protective order appeared before a judge Monday.
Trevor James Benedict, age 18, appeared before District Two Judge Sally Pokorny from jail and received a preliminary hearing date. Benedict and his attorney also asked for a bond modification, but Pokorny denied their request.
Benedict also faces a juvenile child endangerment case. Both charges are based off of an Aug. 23 incident, in which Benedict is accused of placing his girlfriend, a minor, in danger by "permitting a child under the age of 18 years to be placed in a situation in which the child's life, body or health is injured or endangered," according to the Kansas statute on child endangerment.
CRIME
On Jan. 3, Benedict was remanded from court by Division Court Judge James George, and taken to jail. Details concerning why Benedict was remanded were not immediately available.
After Benedict was stopped by police for speeding, he
If Benedict "is convicted of or pleads guilty to a presumptive probation offense, the legislature 'presumes' that the defendant is entitled to a contract of probation. The defendant only serves the underlying sentence if he or she violates the terms and conditions of the probation contract," according to Kansas attorney Paul Cram's website.
More details in the case are expected to be released at Benedict's preliminary hearing, scheduled for Feb. 1 at 2 p.m.
Benedict does not have any prior convictions and faces presumptive probation if convicted, according to his defense attorney.
Edited by Gabrielle Schock
The victim has also been to Benedict's house numerous times since the protective order was issued. This is one reason why Pokorny cited for denying his bond modification.

Disagreement on redistricting in Kansas legislature
New congressional districts are redrawn every 10 years, after new census data has been collected. The Kansas legislature is responsible for redrawing the boundaries to account for population growth, and it must be done during the current legislative session.
Changing these boundaries has political implications for the upcoming election as Democrats hope to improve their chances of winning a U.S. House seat, and the Republicans hope to solidify and increase gains made in the 2010 midterm election.
But even with Republican supermajorities in the legislature as well as the support of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, if Republicans and Democrats are unable to reach a compromise on the redistricting boundaries the matter will go to the Kansas Supreme Court, which is largely composed of justices who were appointed under former governor Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat.
This means that even with their solid advantages, the Republican party knows that reaching an amicable agreement with Democrats is not only the easiest route to take from a judicial standpoint, it is also a matter of appealing to the voters of Kansas. If they are seen by voters as being unwilling to work with Democrats, the Republicans know there could be an Election Day penalty that would erode their secure majorities - something Republicans are afraid to see and Democrats are all too happy to allow
Could we see some bipartisan cooperation this year? We'll be crossing our fingers.

Reports of possible weapon exchange with Syria raise international concern
MOSCOW — Russia has signed a contract to sell combat jets to Syria, a newspaper reported Monday, in apparent support for President Bashar Assad and open defiance of international condemnation of his regime's bloody crackdown.
The respected business daily Kommersant, citing an unidentified source close to Russia's Rosoboronexport state arms trader, said the $550-million deal envisions the delivery of 36 Yak-130 aircraft. A spokesman for Rosoboronexport refused to comment on the report.
If confirmed, the deal would cement Russian opposition to international efforts to put pressure on Assad's regime over its attempts to snuff out the country's uprising. The report of the sale comes the same day that Human Rights Watch called Russia's backing of the Syrian regime "immoral."
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that if the report is accurate "it would be quite concerning" and would be raised by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman, who is currently in Moscow.
"As we've been saying for months, you know, our firm belief is that any country that is still trading in weapons and armaments with Syria really needs to think twice because they are on the wrong side of history, and those weapons can be used against innocents and have been," Nuland said.
NATO
Summit in May will address threats coming from Middle Eastern countries
LONDON — The U.S. Ambassador to NATO said Monday one of the key goals of an upcoming summit is to ensure the alliance is prepared for new threats — comments that came as Iran threatened to shut the Strait of Hormuz in response to an EU oil blockage.
Iran says its program is peaceful, but the U.S. and other nations suspect it is trying to build nuclear weapons. Iran is now under several rounds of U.N. sanctions for not being more forthcoming about its nuclear program.
United States, British and French ships were recently spotted on the strait where a fifth of the world's crude oil is transported, but Ambassador Ivo Daalder said Monday it was not a NATO flotilla. The EU's 27 foreign ministers imposed the oil embargo to pressure Tehran into resuming talks on the its nuclear program.
President Barack Obama is hosting the NATO summit in his hometown of Chicago in May. NATO leaders will look at military strategy throughout 2014, funding issues and how to boost the alliance's capability — both in intelligence gathering and through its missile defense system.
The NATO meeting follows last year's summit in Lisbon, Portugal. At that time, the U.S. and its allies agreed 2014 would be the year Afghan security would be turned over to the Afghan government, but Europe's financial woes have called some commitments into question.
Kim Jong II's mourning period ends as North Koreans celebrate the New Year
NORTH KOREA
PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Koreans bundled against the freezing cold paid respects again to late leader Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang's main plaza Monday and celebrated the Lunar New Year holiday with colorful flowers and children's games.
A massive portrait of Kim Jong Il, absent after the mourning period for his death last month, has been restored at the vast Kim II Sung Square. People stood in line to bow and lay single red flowers — the late leader's namesake "kimjongilia" begonias — made of fabric.
The capital city that was barren and somber for several weeks is filled with color again: flower beds and planters bursting with blossoms and the red, white and blue national flag fluttering from signposts. Banners celebrating the year and posters marking the holiday called "Sol Myong Jol" here were pinned to buildings and walls.
At the plaza in front of the Pyongyang Grand Theater, hundreds of children scampered and shouted as they flew kites and played traditional Korean games in freezing temperatures.
Pyongyang residents said they were encouraged to celebrate the holiday as they usually do, despite the death of Kim Jong Il, only the second leader North Koreans have known since the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was founded in 1948.
Mexican troops kill prominent cartel member, capture another in attack
MEXICO
MEXICO CITY — Members of a Mexican army special forces unit fatally shot a high-ranking aide to the country's most-wanted drug dealer in a gunfight in the northern state of Durango, officials said Monday.
Luis Alberto Cabrera Sarabia was responsible for the operations of Guzman's Sinaloa Cartel in Durango and part of the neighboring state of Chihuahua, army spokesman Gen. Ricardo Trevilla said.
The army says Sarabia is know as "The Architect," and was named to the role after the December arrest of his brother Felipe Cabrera Sarabia, or "The Engineer."
Sinaloa gunmen traded fire with troops during the operation to arrest Luis Cabrera Sarabia on Friday. One of the gunmen was slain and 11 others were captured. Four soldiers were hurt in the gunfire.
Mexican officials said that another high-ranking member of the Sinaloa cartel, Fidel Mancinas Franco, was arrested in the northern state of Sonora on Saturday. Mancinas had been extorting money from immigrants seeking to travel to the United States, they said. Mancinas is wanted in the U.S. in connection with the deaths of 11 migrants during a car crash in Texas in 2009, officials said.

World Trade Center project may halt
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — An 80-story skyscraper under construction at ground zero will have to stop at seven stories unless the developer can line up more tenants, planners said Monday, adding to problems that have plagued the $11.7 billion World Trade Center project.
Silverstein Properties Inc. said it is still looking for tenants to fill the first 10 floors of Three World Trade Center, the third-highest building in the planned office complex. Without those leases, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will not guarantee the financing that Silverstein needs to finish the building.
Construction would end at the "podium" level on the seventh floor, with the option of building up later on, and the floors below would be filled mainly with retail stores.
Many companies in New York are reluctant to invest in new offices because of the poor economy, and dozens are negotiating lower rents as five-year leases signed before the housing crash begin to expire. But both Silverstein and the Port Authority said they are confident the developer can get enough tenants lined up.
"We are currently speaking with a number of potential tenants and remain fully optimistic that we will sign a lease in time to complete the tower as scheduled in 2015," Larry Silverstein, the company's chief executive, said in a written statement.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that he would be disappointed if Three World Trade did not go higher, but that the city would not extend any aid to keep it going. The most important part of the project, he said, is laying the infrastructure for future construction.
depend on the marketplace and investors. That should be up to them."
The 10-story "pre-lease" requirement is included in a 2010 agreement between Silverstein and the Port Authority.
The second-highest building planned for the complex, the 88-story 2 World Trade Center, is also on hold because of a lack of tenants. Workers are finishing the underground parts of that building but will cap it at ground level.
The difficulty in finding tenants comes amid other problems that have dogged the World Trade Center project.
Work on a museum at ground zero has stopped because of a dispute between the Port Authority and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum over who should pay for infrastructure costs. The Port Authority says the foundation owes it $300 million, while the foundation says the bill should be closer to $140 million.
Planners had hoped to open the museum on the 11th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks, but Bloomberg has said that's no longer possible.
Work has also slowed on One World Trade Center, the spire formerly known as the Freedom Tower. Workers had been averaging a floor a week in mid-2011, but photographs have shown little growth in recent months.
The Port Authority's executive director, Patrick Foye, blamed rainy weather and high winds at the top of the building, which is now 90 stories high. He spoke to reporters following a panel discussion on infrastructure at Fordham University.
The authority also says it is having trouble finding space for the trailers that move upward with the workers. As the tower narrows, there is less space on each floor, and transferring the trailers upward takes more time.
CAMPUS
Look into the lens of KU's Digital Media team
JESSIE BLAKEBOROUGH jblakeborough@kansan.com
Hundreds of historical moments have been recorded at the University, ranging from professor profiles and Commencement addresses to national recruitment and this year's Traditions Night.
The task of recording and producing videos for both University and national level audiences falls on the shoulders of the threeperson Digital Media Team in the Office of University Relations. Their work makes up 90 percent of the University's YouTube page content and can be described in two words: controlled spontaneity.
THE PUPPETEER
For 30 years Frank Barthell watched generations of students come and go through a camera lens. As the oldest member of the digital media team, Barthell has worked through technological changes.
"Over time what doesn't change is needing to know how to tell a story." Bartell said.
After completing a master's degree in Radio-TV-Film with an emphasis on TV and Film production in 1981, Barthell began working at the Office of University Relations as the Electronic Media Coordinator.
Limited by the means of an all radio era, originally Barthell produced all of the TV news and commercials using analog media. The video storage filing system consisted of hundreds of labeled VHS tapes on a shelf.
Now the Digital Media Producer, Bartell works primarily in pre-production and organization. Bartell spends a lot of time researching for projects, conducting pre-interviews and paying
"Staying up to date on technology provides a great deal of humor for my colleagues for some reason," Barthell joked.
attention to the details as well as organizing plan b's and c's.
"This is not just showing up with a camera- 60 to 70 percent of our work is in pre-production," Barthell said.
But that doesn't mean Barthell works at a desk. Instead, Barthell shoots on location with the rest of the crew and assists in collecting sound bites and lighting.
"Everything we do is collaborative, but we do have our individual roles." Barthell said. "One of the great satisfactions I get from my job these days is working alongside a production crew who is so dedicated to the University."
"Right off the bat it was all excitement," Attig said. "We didn't do a lot of the athletics side, but we helped shoot the homecoming and celebration."
Currently, Attig is in the ABD, or "all but dissertation," final stages of obtaining her Ph.D in Communication Studies at the University. After graduating from the journalism Master's program in 2003, Attig decided to avoid the typical teaching assistant position in favor of a full-time job working for the digital media team.
THE DIRECTION
Heather Attig will never forget her first day of work in Jan. 2008, the day the football team won the Orange Bowl.
"The great thing is we don't have a normal day," Attig said. "We are always all over campus shooting and interviewing incredible researchers and
the small production team. Attig is involved in every aspect of production. She acts as director for on-location video shoots, including a trip in the aerial helicopter in fall 2010 to film campus aerial shots for a new admissions video. Using one of the two editing bays located in the digital media team's office located in the basement of the Office of University Relations, Attig helps to create the finished product video editing with the assistance of student workers.
With a self-proclaimed "teacher's heart", Attig enjoys directing student actors and working with the media team's student hourly's. Ultimately Attig wants to teach full time.
"One of the joys of this job is to be able to have students working with us," Attig said. "It's fun to watch them grow in their time here."
"What I love about being both a director and editor is being able to be part of the full project," Attig said.
In Chuck France's unique list of jobs (filming for national Sonic and Wal-Mart commercials, working on a TV pilot set and a stint as a photojournalist for the KC Star), no one would guess he had originally majored in history, anthro-

Outside of France's responsibilities to the digital media team, he is in charge of the photography beat for the School of the Arts . His photos are used by University Relations and the Office of Admissions in University view books.
"We have assignments and also freedom to go shoot what we want," France said. "The people who want a video value our input and opinions."

"The new technology ups the ante in terms of quality," Attig
said. "Everything is becoming more portable now."
With a green screen, 5D cameras and a full arsenal of lights, all
videos are produced in-house.
"Over the years, video has changed how we cover the University," Barthell said. "It's harder to find an audience for web stuff because it's so wide."
Currently, the digital media team is working on seven videos with varying turnaround rates.

"The sole benefit I've got from my experience at KU has been working here," Singleton said.
At the end of the day, it's not just about how many videos the digital media team produces. For Lucas Singleton, a senior from Hutchinson in Film and Media Studies, his four years working for the team and being able to film and edit a product from start to finish is what matters most.

"The Grey" gives a chilly preview
Whether audiences will embrace the film warmly remains a question. The survival movie can be a tough sell: There's something inherently compelling about man versus nature, but bad weather alone won't hold anyone's attention. Throw in a human villain, and the audience might start expecting an action flick; focus on the hero's inner struggles, and the mood can get too intense. "The Grey" is expected to earn about $11 million next weekend, the same as the new Katherine Heigl comedy, "One for the Money," according to BoxOffice.com.
This Friday, Liam Neeson will don a parka and head for Alaska in "The Grey," an action-survival film about a group of oil-rig workers whose plane crashes in the icy wilderness. Sounds pretty chilly especially when the wolves show up.
"Alive"
Disney's 1960 version of the 1812 novel about a family shipwrecked on a tropical island couldn't have had a happier ending: They stay and establish a colony! Total gross: $427 million (adjusted for inflation).
Ethan Hawke starred in this 1993 dramatized story of the Uruguayan rugby team that survived a 1972 plane crash by resorting to cannibalism. Might have been too grim for mainstream viewers. It grossed about $36.7 million, according to Box-Office Moio.
"Open Water"
Vacationing scuba divers come up for air and realize their boat has forgotten them. Sharks appear, but with a tiny budget of $500,000, the 2003 movie focuses mostly on bickering. Total gross: $30.6 million.

New movies expected to gross millions
Those two pictures are expected to outpace Relativity Media's action film "Haywire," directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring mixed martial arts fighter Gina Carano, and Warner Bros.' Sept. 11 drama "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," which is expanding nationwide this weekend.
The George Lucas-produced movie about the World War II Tuskegee Airmen is tracking for an opening of around $15 million, gaining momentum recently among black audiences.
People who have seen pre-release audience surveys are confident that "Underworld: Awakening" will debut with between $20 million and $25 million. There's less certainty around another new entry, "Red Tails."
LOS ANGELES — The fourth movie in Sony Pictures' "Underworld" vampire series should lead the box office this weekend as Hollywood hopes to continue what has been a strong January in theaters.
Those relatively inexpensive movies, both of which were well reviewed and generating interest mainly among sophisticated adult audiences, probably will open to about $10 million each.
In 2006, the second installment in the series, "Underworld: Evolution," debuted to a stronger $26.9 million.
"Red Tails" is also headed for a decent but not great opening given its reported cost of $58 million. The movie was financed entirely by Lucas, who is also covering the marketing costs. Twentieth Century Fox is distributing the film, which stars Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard and has received largely negative reviews.
If "Awakening" does top the box-office charts as expected, it will mark repeat success for star Kate Beckinsale, who also had a prominent role in last weekend's No.1 film "Conbandra."
With "Underworld: Awakening," Sony's Screen Gems label and partner Lakeshore Entertainment spent a healthy $70 million on the production, which included bringing the franchise into 3-D for the first time.
The question is whether images popping off the screen will help the latest entry in the series about leather-clad vampires battling werewolves bring in more than 2009's "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans," which opened to $20.8 million.
"Extremely Loud" has taken in $671,502 since opening in limited release Christmas

It's that time of year when the abnormally tan girls become painfully obvious to spot while trolling around campus.
I've decided that KU calves are not only from the hills, but also from jumping up and down at basketball games.
I get it, you think you are good at everything. Now shut the hell up about it.
These new library printers are literally the most unnecessary thing to grace the KU campus ever.

You know you're in Lawrence when the only two people dancing at a concert is a girl with a hula hoop and a guy who looks homeless.
Every time I walk through Fraser Hall, it has a different funny smell. Do psychology majors just not bathe or something?
I wonder if you send bad messages enough times if the FFA editor will ban a number...
Editor's note: I never thought of that, actually. Thanks for the idea.
Missed connection: attractive guy walking through tunnel from Union to Spencer Art. Your coffee mug and "Good morning!" made me smile. Hope to see you again.
Fake Jeff Withe totally made real Withe famous.
The reason we bash on frat packs is because we don't believe in buying friends. It's kinda like not believing in prostitution.
Anthro professor dancing out of the room? I think I like this guy.
Something FFA-worthy finally happened to me today! A coked-out hippie wants you to vote for her president. #Wescoeproblems
I went to The Hawk for the first time in my three years at KU...looks like I haven't missed much.
Is it safe to go back to the gym yet? I haven't been back since last week for the fear of being trampled by all the New Year's resolutioners.
Is it a problem that I can name every Digimon and Pokemon, but can't remember the name of my coms professor?
Editor's note: Yes.
Mother Nature has obviously been smoking crack. And I'm so ok with it.
Congrats, everyone on the bus now knows your family issues because you talk so loud on the phone.
There is no way I have enough Xanax to make it through another class like that.
This is the awesome time of the year when we realize that we really don't have to deal with the awful roommate of last semester that we made move. It's so beautiful.
Don't forget Syria: Assad about to crash
INTERNATIONAL
Superstition surrounds 2012; some claim the end of the world is only months away. While I think few people actually believe the world will end this year, for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the year 2012 might indeed be his last.
My geology teacher just said that geology can always be turned into a sexual joke. No.
By Jacob Keplar
jkeplar@kansan.com
In mid-March of last year major protests began springing up in Syria, especially in the southern city of Deraa. Since then, thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest.
Just like his father Hafez, Bashar has countered these protests the only way he knows how - with violence. But unlike his father, Bashar has not been able to stile the protesters or quell the uprising. In fact, the opposition to his regime appears to be strengthening, not weakening.
The Free Syrian Army (FSA) announced its formation on July 29, 2011. The group is currently headquartered in Turkey and has filled its ranks with an increasing number of defectors from the Syrian Army. While the FSA is not yet a completely cohesive military organization able to conduct large coordinated
operations, its increasing size and capability could transform it into a formidable opponent to the Assad regime.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
On August 23, 2011, Syrian dissidents announced the creation of the Syrian National Committee (SNC) to coordinate country-wide protests. The SNC is an umbrella organization consisting of many of Assad's political opponents. Another group, the National Coordination Committee (NCC), is a Damascus-based political opposition group also coordinating protests.
So far, these two groups have been unable to unite. The NCC supports dialogue with the Syrian government while the SNC is opposed to it unless talks include a plan to replace the Assad regime.

and Jordan; emphatically called for Assad to step down, the region's other countries took their turn to condemn the Syrian government. In November, the Arab League voted to suspend Syria's membership.
After Syria's neighbors; Turkey
Eventually, a small number of Arab League observers were allowed into Syria to document and report on the activity of the protestors and the Assad regime. After their arrival, both the Arab League and the United Nations have reported an increase in the killings of protestors.
If this were 1983, Assad would simply crush the uprising just like his father did. Instead, Bashar has opted to intimidate the opposition. But the Syrian people are no longer scared of the Assad regime.
It's time to start planning for post-Assad Syria. The SNC and NCC must come together and strengthen their relationships with the Free Syrian Army. Nations such as Russia need to offer Bashar and his family a safe location for exile. Syria's neighbors should prepare for the possibility of refugees entering their countries.
President Obama recently met
embargos, against the Syrian government and continue to push the international community to freeze the assets of the regime's top figures.
with King Abdullah II of Jordan, and he again called for Assad to step down and described the violence in Syria as unacceptable. Obama should also encourage Jordan and especially Turkey to facilitate negotiations between the SNC and NCC. The U.S. should develop diplomatic relations with the SNC, NCC, and Free Syrian Army and encourage other nations and the Arab League to do the same. The U.S. should propose more sanctions, especially arms
Assad may have been talking tough in his most recent speech, but it appears his world is beginning to crash down on him. If Bashar al-Assad does see the end of this year, it is unlikely he will do so as the president of Syria.

SOCIETY
A country with no military
Costa Rica abolished its military in 1948 after a rugged civil war. It is difficult to even begin to describe how such a change affects a country, but seeing the country today offers a glimpse at how society could operate on a large scale without a military presence.
By Brett Salsbury
bsalbury@kansan.com
I studied abroad on a shortterm program over Winter Break in Costa Rica, visiting very different places: city life in San Jose, a cloud forest in Monteverde and a Pacific beach in Manuel Antonio. From all of these areas, it is easy to see how life is different compared to ours in the United States.
It is hard to ignore the positive effects of being part of a society without a military. On a social scale, there's no talk in the city about what their military leaders are up to, what conflict they'll be meddling in next, or a need for anyone to protest for withdrawal from any country. With these avenues absent, there's more room for tackling other issues such as environmentalism, education and other social issues.
Awareness is compatible with action. I clearly saw a society in Costa Rica that cared deeply about those issues that affect
them on a large scale. Recycling was encouraged everywhere. Visitors to our hotel in Arenal were invited to plant a tree, which was something we all did as a group activity. Seeing the diverse wildlife in the cloud forest was inspirational, while hearing our tour guide speak about climate change in the same moment was depressing.
It seems impossible for a similar chain of events like this to happen in the United States. Though no one can predict the future, it's hard to see one without the military, an entity which has guaranteed our citizens' freedom for more than 200 years and counting. It is also difficult to imagine our lives without our constant political elections focused on the issue of wars and military interventions. It would be nice to see one less huge issue on the news airwaves, even though 24/7 news channels
would likely fill this time up with more celebrity gossip or Nancy Grace and Glenn Beck sound-alikes instead of more implicative matters.
Imagining what life would be like is daunting. While some GOP Presidential candidates wish to abolish the Department of Education, surely such a possibility would be nonexistent in a military-less' society. With less attention focused on the military, citizens and politicians alike would focus more attention on issues like education. The United States covers a vast territory, one with a diverse collection of populations and environments. The possibilities of what could be accomplished if the amount of time we spend daily debating on our military ventures simply did not exist are vast.
What would we concern more of our time with if we didn't have a military? Perhaps thinking of this possibility would help us spend our time and thoughts more wisely today.

Perfection doesn't equal happiness
Having survived the first week of classes of what will be a chal
of what will be a challenging semester, I find myself thoroughly exhausted, energized for the week to come, and also slightly worried about the mounting pressures as I prepare to tackle another semester.
I am certainly not alone in this feeling as many of you may face difficult classes, graduation, or job searches. There are a lot of you who juggle classes with family or a job. College isn't known for its easy living situations, and I'm sure many of you have had a taste of the unsavory side of communal living. Although college is one of the best times of our lives, it's undoubtedly also one of the most difficult times as some of us grow into adulthood, and some of us juggle adulthood with student life.
And one of the biggest fears that may accompany all our responsibilities is the fear that we may fail at those responsibilities or a fear that our life isn't going to turn out the way we wanted or expected it to turn out.
We all have this exalted idea of perfection whether it's from the model on TV, the top-notch attorney who makes so much money that it's coming out his ears, or that kid on scholarship who can play basketball, juggle and do calculus. We seem to think that being the best, brightest, most ambitious, most talented somehow implies perfection which somehow also implies happiness.
Why, though, do we expect that every second of our life has to be spent in exuberant happiness? Whatever happened to being content with life? Whatever happened to examining our lives to make sure we're doing what makes us happy, not what we think should make us happy and

President Reagan once said during a speech given after the Iran-Contra affair, "You know, by the time you reach my age, you've made plenty of mistakes. And if you've lived life properly - so, you learn."
certainly not what society tells us should make us happy? When did we begin to expect perfection in an imperfect world?
Contentedness in our society has come to have a negative connotation. It is as if a content person is someone who has no ambition or has given up on attaining more from life, but I argue that a content person has the truest form of happiness. Content happiness lasts longer than exuberant happiness. The content person isn't going to look at life as a way to constantly gain possessions, one up his or her neighbor, or be the best at everything.
This isn't to say that contentedness and ambition or desire are mutually exclusive from each other, but contentedness implies knowing your priorities and how to be happy with what you are given.
We are never going to be happy if we fear life and its downsides; we are never going to accomplish anything if we let fear of failure stop us; and we are never going to be happy if we first can't be content.
So, as a student, I don't know what is going to happen to me once I graduate. I don't know what I will be doing in ten or thirty years. Stressing out now about the future will only make the time we're supposed to be spent enjoying our college years miserable.
What I do know, though, is that every day I want to wake and be content with the person I look at in the mirror. After all, the only person you have to live with your entire life is yourself.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Tyshawn Taylor, senior gaurd
Game after game, Taylor keeps proving that he's a changed player. Against the Aggies, he was the only offensive spark when his teammates were drained of energy and ineffective. He scored an efficient 17 points, hitting six of his nine shots, swiped 3 steals and surrendered only two turnovers. He only played 28 minutes because he committed four fouls, but it was nonetheless a fine game for a steadily improving leader.
B. BENNIE AUGUST
GAME TO FORGET
Taylor
Eliiah Johnson; junior gaurd
Johnson's been in this spot before and it's usually for the same reason; he's either thinking too much or not thinking at all. On Monday night, he missed all six of his three-point shots, quite possibly because his mind was muddled with the previous shot. When he wasn't thinking, he was disrupting offensive sets that Self designed for a reason. This is Johnson's first bad game since his three-game Hawaiian hangover, so give him a mulligan for now.

KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
A possession in the second half of Monday night's 64-54 Kansas win over Texas A&M summed up Jeff Withey's defensive potential in a Jayhawk uniform. It wasn't one of his eight blocks, however. An Aggie guard drove the line, pump-faked, then stopped. He was face-to-face with the 7-foot junior center just a few minutes after having a shot swatted away. He wasn't going to let that happen again, and for Withey and the rest of his teammates, that was just fine. The shot was forced up without much confidence and Withey quickly grabbed the rebound.
"Just him being a presence in there makes guys change their shots and think twice about coming in there," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "Him being a presence makes us better defensively. Our guards feel like we can pressure the ball a little bit more because we have help back there who can contest the rim."
Withey's eight blocks were his second most of the season, just one shy of his nine-block performance against Long Beach State in December. Much like teammates Thomas Robinson and Elijah Johnson, Withey's first half performance was just okay, but not up to coach Bill Self's expectations.
Bill Self was far from pleased with his team after the 10-point win, as said Withey's defensive performer helped carry the load when the tear struggled.
"He expects a lot of us and a lot out of me, and a lot of times I come
He did just that in the second half, blocking five more shots and committing zero turnovers while nearly collecting a double-double the hard way with blocks instead of rebounds.
out pretty slow" Withey said. "I just need to get my energy up and get in the flow of the game quicker."
The Kansas guards harassed their Texas A&M counterparts nearly the entire game, and if you listen to Taylor, Withey's presence was a big part of that style. Everyday entry passes were suddenly a chore, and if A&M got by the pressure, they had Robinson and Withey to deal with.

Timberwolves causing a stir within NBA
It's a franchise with a dubious, inauspicious history that was considered one of the most insignificant, unworthy franchises in sports, especially after it traded away its greatest player in 2007 to the Boston Celtics. Notable players such as Ray Allen, Mario Chalmers, Ty Lawson and Brandon Roy were all drafted by this team, but were traded on their draft day. For many years, this sorry, laughable franchise was largely forgotten in the NBA and even in the state of Minnesota because it was a perennial bottom-feeder.

This franchise is the Minnesota Timberwolves, a pack that was once an easy, guaranteed victory for all NBA teams, and is now a team on the rise looking to contend with the NBAs best.
For all the draft blunders that the Timberwolves committed throughout their history — notably Christian Laettner, Isaiah J.R.' Rider, Donyell Marshall, William Avery, Ndubi Ebi, Rashad McCants, Corey Brewer and Jonny Flynn — they hit the jackpot drafting Kevin Garnett. Garnett led the Timberwolves to eight straight playoff appearances, including a trip to the Western Conference Finals in the 2004-05 season, a team that was also led by Sam Cassell and Lattrell Sprewell.
But the Kevin Garnett era is in the past
now, and the Timberwolves are finally moving on without him.
Four years after the Garnett trade, the Timberwolves were a species searching for a new beginning, but a new era has brought new life to a pack looking to make an impact on the NBA.
Timberwolves basketball is now led by the Californian cool, Kevin Love, and the Spanish sensation, Ricky Rubio, two of the most exciting, dynamic players in the NBA.
The duo has captivated a fan base longing for optimism, excitement and victories.
It's easy for a basketball franchise that was futile, like the Timberwolves, to hibernate in minds of Minnesota sports fans during winter because Minnesota is a hockey-first state, but the Timberwolves
are the talk of not only the entire state, but of the NBA.
The arrival of Rubio this season has sparked league-wide interest in the Timberwolves. His scintillating passes, crafty plays and remarkable court-vision have people comparing him to Steve Nash and Jason Kidd, two future hall of famers. He has made the team substantially better, and has silenced the doubters who have questioned if he could play in the NBA. His stats may not seem impressive to most people, but his impact is conspicuous.
When the Timberwolves traded O.J. Mayo to the Grizzlies for Kevin Love in the 2008 NBA Draft, many people initially thought that it would be another one of the Timberwolves' terrible draft blunders. Little did Glen Taylor, David Khan and NBA followers know that Love would become a walking double-double, a franchise player and one of theNBAs best players. He is certainly not a highlight reel that will appear on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays regularly like Blake Griffin, but Love is a reliable, industrious player who plays hard every game. His ability to rebound, shoot and post up in the paint consistently makes Timberwolves fans forget Garnett.
KU
Love is a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Because Minnesota is
a small market that does not attract elite, high-caliber free agents and has to rely heavily on the NBA Draft, re-signing Love to a maximum deal is an absolute must. The Timberwolves' future would dissipate if Love left the Twin Cities.
Timberwolves fans are howling exuberantly about its team's future. The average age of the Timberwolves' roster is 25, among the youngest in the NBA, and even though their record doesn't indicate that they're on the rise, their ability to compete does. In losses against the playoff contenders Oklahoma City Thunder, Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks and Memphis Grizzlies, the Timberwolves only lost by a combined total of 23 points. If the Timberwolves can acquire a veteran or two to complement Love, Rubio and Derrick Williams, then they are a legitimate playoff contender.

Kentucky returns to the top of college basketball
The Wildcats, who were ranked No. I for two weeks earlier this season, moved up one place
Kentucky, the only team in last week's top four not to lose over the weekend, is back on top of The Associated Press' college basketball poll.
Monday after receiving 61 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel.
Missouri, which got two No. 1 votes, jumped from fifth to second, while Syracuse, which was in first place for the last six weeks, dropped to third after losing at Notre Dame, its first loss this season. The Orange were No. 1 on
two ballots.
Ohio State and Kansas moved up two places to fourth and fifth and were followed by Baylor, which fell three places after losing two games last week, North Carolina, Duke, Georgetown and Michigan State. Duke dropped four places after losing to Florida State at home.
Murray State, the lone remaining
unbeaten team in Division I, is 11th.
Florida State, which beat North Carolina and Duke in its four-game winning streak, moves back into the poll at No. 23. Wisconsin, which has won four straight after losing three in a row, is back at No. 25.
Illinois, which lost to Penn State
and Wisconsin last week, dropped out from 22nd. Louisville, which reached as high as No.4 this season but has lost five of eight, fell out from 23rd.
North Carolina is the only other team to be ranked No.1 this season, holding the spot in the preseason Top 25 and the first poll of the regular season.

COMMENTARY
Wake up call for Jayhawks
By Andrew Joseph
ajoseph@kansan.com
Winning the Big 12 title for an eighth consecutive season was never going to be easy, and the Jayhawks learned exactly why on Monday night.
The Jayhawks earned themselves a top-five ranking in the latest polls, but Kansas' showing against Texas A&M resembled a team still in search of an identity rather than a perennial Final Four contender.
During "Late Night at the Phog," Bill Self preached that this season would be a process and urged Jaya-hawk Nation to enjoy the ride. With Kansas playing its best basketball of the season recently, many fans have put aside Self's words, even expecting a national title come April.
All offseason, the national pundits were quick to point out the departures of the Morris twins, Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed and Josh Selby as potentially debilitating blows to Kansas' chance of retaining the Big 12 crown. Kansas is now the nation's hottest team, and the college basketball world is buying into the Javahawk hype machine.
With each thundering dunk, Thomas Robinson increases his lead in the Player of the Year race, and turnover-prone Tyshawn Taylor's game looks more like Chris Paul at the point lately.
ESPN's Bracketology expert Joe Lunardi even went so far as to project Kansas as a No.1 seed come tournament time.
It's time to temper these expectations, and the Kansas faithful can thank the Aggies for bringing these Jayhawks back down to Earth. Even though this game will go down simply as just another conference victory for Kansas, Monday night revealed just how much room the Jayhawks have to improve.
Leading 11-0 early in the first half, the Jayhawks had the opportunity to knock out Texas A&M early and for good. However, the energetic offensive spurt fueled by Taylor's early seven points transformed into lackadaisical in a matter of minutes.
The Aggies were missing their leading scorer in Khris Middleton, but short-handed Texas A&M still managed to steal away the momentum, returning to the locker room with a two-point lead at the half.
Kansas has been an amazing second half team all season, and that trend continued tonight as the Jayhawks outscored the Aggies by 12 points in the final 20 minutes. Robinson turned a 2-for-7, four-point performance into the 18-point, 10-rebound game that he's known for.
Although one game can't make or break a season, the Jayhawks would have lost a crucial edge in an already tight Big 12 race had they lost. A loss may have taught this team the biggest lesson when it comes to overlooking opponents, but the Jayhawks have to realize that they don't have the depth to not give maximum effort for a full 40 minutes.
Until Kansas can play with the same energy against the Texas A&M's and Iowa State's of the conference as it did against Baylor, let's not start looking ahead to March triumph and just concentrate on the game at hand.

A SLOPPY JAYHAWK WIN
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
Coach Bill Self's words of direction, no matter how pointed or audible, seeped through the ears of his players on Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
After timeoutes filled with nothing but play-calling, the same plays hammered into their minds by rote, some Jayhawks sauntered back to the court mindlessly, unaware that a play was called and unsure of their place on the floor.
With 37 seconds left in the game, Self made a few substitutions, but junior forward Thomas Robinson ignored his defensive assignment, Texas A&M senior forward David Loubeau, who scurried downcourt freely and dunked the ball uncontested.
KANSAS

"Our heads weren't there at all tonight." Self said.
Even with the mental miscues and spotty execution, No. 5 Kansas (17-3, 7-0) denied the Aggies and found just enough points to win 64-54.
"We're just shooting the ball so bad," Self said. "Good gosh."
Robinson and junior guard Elijah Johnson, whom Self called "haywire, brain-dead," couldn't find their strokes early, combining to shoot one of 11 from the field in the first half. Loubeau succeeded in pushing Robinson out of the paint and forcing jump shots, turnovers and frustrating possessions.
"I realize that the deeper we get into the conference, the more the games seem to get harder for me," Robinson said.
After recognizing that his midrange game wasn't in tune, Robinson stuck his hands and legs into the teeth of the Aggies' interior, snatching rebounds and trading them for two points or a foul. When he got to the line, he made them count, sinking all 10 of his free throws. When he wasn't fouled, he used aggression and a quick first step to squeeze through the defense.
"I thought he was in the paint a long time," Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy said. "We couldn't move him."
While Robinson's success fluctuated, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor continued to shine, scoring 17 points off six of nine shots from the field. Taylor, the former scapegoat of the l Jayhawks, the same player who surrendered 11 turnovers against Duke in the Maui Invitational title game, followed his turnover-less game at Texas with just two turnovers against Texas A&M.
"I'm trying not to think about it," Taylor said of his recent accomplishments. "I just want to play. I feel like if I think about it, I'll start messing up."
Self said the rest of the Jayhawks weren't thinking either, and that was the problem.
After Saturday's 69-66 victory at Texas, Self said that such a tight game would benefit his team. After Monday's slop, he didn't feel the same.
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
"A win like this is ugly" Taylor said.
"But all the wins in conference count."

Fingerprint scanners make workouts easier for students
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Students no longer need an ID to enter the Ambler recreation center thanks to last month's high-tech upgrade, which included the addition of a fingerprint scanner.
Bobby Arnold, facility coordinator, said that Student Senates student recreation board asked the Rec center to come up with a way for students to enter that didn't require IDs to increase convenience for students. The scanner proved to be the most viable option and seems to be improving the entry process.
"It's always crazier in the spring, but I think its been going smoother than usual." Arnold said.
Although both entry processes take roughly the same amount of time,he said the fingerprint scanner has reduced the number of people digging through their bags in line.
The fingerprint scanner uses a system similar to the process used to check IDs: The fingerprint is
scanned, then the employee working at the turnstile confirms that the face matches the on-screen image
Arnold estimated that about half of the Rec center's visitors have started using their fingerprint entry procedure since it was introduced last month, although people are still welcome to use their IDs.
The scanner was purchased as a part of a software system upgrade that Arnold said was needed since the building opened. The new system handles entry, equipment checkout, schedules, facility spaces and personal training. Lockers were also installed around the same time in an effort to reduce theft. The new lockers are located on the first and second floors where the cubbies used to be and have built-in combination locks.
Before installing the lockers, around 30 thefts per semester were reported to Rec center staff or the police. In the roughly two months since the lockers debuted, only one theft has been reported.
Matt Abraham, a senior from
Overland Park, said he is a fan of both the lockers and the new ID- less entry option.
"its just convenient," Abraham said. "And it's worked every time for me."
Kristin Nohr, a senior from Leawood, likes not having to carry extra things, like her ID, when she goes to work out. The fingerprint scanner also means she doesn't have to bring her card in and risk losing it, which has happened to her in the past.
So far, the fingerprint scanner has had only minor problems, all relating to difficulties reading certain fingerprints.
"When you try to accommodate almost 27,000 students, faculty and staff, you have 27,000 different kinds of fingers," Arnold said. "Some fingers work better than others, but for the most part I think we're seeing a pretty good success rate."
GET SCANNED
Rec staff will be in the Kansas Union registering people in the new system from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for two weeks starting on Monday.

Amy Perko, Knight Commission Executive Director, speaks at the Dole Institute of Politics Tuesday night for her discussion "Restoring the Balance: Dollars, Values, and the Future of College Sports." Perko has served in various leader positions in sports for more than 20 years, including at the University as the Associate Athletics Director.
Talk looks to bridge gap for athletes
LUKE RANKER
lukeke@kaoop.com
lranker@kansan.com
The Ecumenical Campus Ministries sponsored two discussions on the divide between intercollegiate athletics and academics on Tuesday.
The events featured Amy Perko, Knight Commission Executive Director, and were meant to foster discussion on the financial divide between college sports and their academic institutions. The goal of the Knight Commission is to ensure intercollegiate athletic programs work within their college's academic mission.
The Rev. Thad Holcombe of the ECM said that he became aware of the "isolation" of athletes during his time at the University of Oklahoma and found the same culture of separation here. Holcombe said that after recent athletic scandals, including the one at Pennsylvania State University and the ticket scandal at the University, he decided to hold a community forum.
"Athletics must be considered part of universities, not apart from them," Perko said during the Q&A-style forum Tuesday evening.
"My concern as far as student athletes is how can we enrich their experience with education and integrate with other students in a more viable
way, " Holcombe said.
Perko said the tension between entertainment and education has existed since the 1920s but became more prominent in the 1990s with expansion of game broadcasting. She said the Knight Commission was seeing issues and trends that it felt threatened the future of college sports.
She said that due to conference realignments, media revenues for the top five conferences will double. This growth has raised the concerned about whether college football is only about money.
"For the majority of Division I schools, the current model is not financially sustainable," she said. "In the future, there will be a different structure for Division I."
"The economic engine for college sports has accelerated over the past couple years," she said.
"We want to look at ways that the money can strengthen the educational missions of the universities," she said.
The question was raised during the forum as to whether or not the National Collegiate Athletic Association as it is now would still exist in the coming years. Perko said there is a definite separation between the top 70 teams with big football programs and the rest of the NCAA schools.
Another controversial issue briefly discussed was the concept of paying players. The idea gained momentum after an "Atlantic" article by Taylor Branch highlighted how players go largely uncompensated for their work while college athletic departments profit.
Perko said she has not done many discussion in campus community settings recently but mostly meets with athletic conferences, faculty groups, trustee groups and governing boards.
Associate Athletics Director for Student Support Paul Buskirk said that at the University funding for student resources is spread out evenly across all sports.
Buskirk said he was still undecided about the concept of paying student athletes.
"We would welcome having more conversations like these on university campuses," Perko said.

STUDENT SENATE
Code needs simplicity
VIKAAS SHANKER
vshanker@kansan.com
How student organizations obtain funding for travel expenses will be reviewed this semester, along with several other changes, as the Student Senate Finance Committee updates the 11-year-old Student Senate Budget Code.
Finance Committee chairman Josh Dean said members of the committee are altering the Budget Code, Article VIII of the Student Senate Rules and Regulations, to make its structure and language clearer for the student body. The committee also intends to take record of rules that are currently in practice but have never been written down.
"The last overhaul of the budget code took place in 2000, and people have made lots of amendments, and many rules have been changed," Dean said. "Right now, the rules are very confusing for people."
One such rule is item 8.2.5.6.1, which says, "No funds from student fees shall be allocated or apportioned to any corporation, organization, or group for travel expenses." Organizations are able to apply for an exemption to this rule, but requirements for the exemption are not written in the code and currently need to be interpreted by the Finance Committee.
Any student organization can apply for the exemption with a bill that must receive two-thirds of the vote in the Finance and Rights committees before going to the Senate for another two-thirds vote.
"The big test we use is, 'Is travel vital to the existence of your group?'," Dean said about any organization seeking a travel exemption.
If the general answer is yes, the organization may be eligible for an exemption. Another parameter the committee looks at is if
the organization is inclusive to all students, Dean said.
While these specifications have been the unofficial benchmarks for a travel exemption for many years, at least one student organization has not agreed with the committee's answer to that question.
Engineers Without Borders,
organizationthat participates in engineering projects around the world, applied for a travel exemption in November. It was de-
ARTICLE 8.2.5.6.1:
"No funds from student fees shall be allocated or apportioned to any corporation, organization, or group for travel expenses."
"To exist as a chapter, we have to travel in this case, but to exist as a member in the chapter, you don't have to travel," she said.
with the exemption and because it was compared with other organizations that didn't have the same travel requirements.
nied, because the Finance and Rights committees thought it was an organization that could exist without travel.
Source: Student Senate Rules and Regulations, last updated in 2000
But the leader of Engineers Without Borders contends that the group is still inclusive by being open to all KU students from any major.
Rights Committee chairman Aaron Harris ruled out the proposed exemption for Engineers Without Borders, because he thought the organization wasn't completely inclusive.
"We can't fund a group that charges dues to its members," he said. "If a group wants funding, it must be open to all students, not those who pay."
"We have other majors besides engineering that travel with us," said Mary Adams, the president of Engineers Without Borders.
Dean said the committee discussed that the organization
The travel exemption request was brought to a vote in the Finance Committee, but didn't receive the two-thirds vote to move onto the Senate. Adams said she thought the bill was rejected because Engineers Without Borders doesn't participate in competitions like some organizations
doesn't participate in competitions and that most group members don't travel when the committee made its decision.
Engineers Without Borders was hoping to take
about eight people to Bolivia to build latrines for underdeveloped areas, but are now taking fewer people, Adams said. The organization has applied for funding in previous years, but was also denied then.
"The fact that they've been around without [student fee] funding shows they can exist," Harris said.
Clarification of the rules and regulations about funding may help organizations better determine if they should put resources into providing exemption requests.
"I think it would be very beneficial to be more clear about that," Adams said about the Finance Committee's review of the Budget Code.
According to Dean, members of the Finance Committee are currently reviewing the studentfee portion of the Budget Code, but he estimated the committee will start reviewing the part related to travel exemptions in March.

Bills look to crack down on hiring of illegal workers
One bill currently in the committee on Federal and
The issue of immigration is incredibly politically divisive and it doesn't always divide along party lines — one reason Gov. Brownback seems fairly willing to leave the issue alone. But with Secretary of State Kris Kobach on his staff, who has made illegal immigration a top-tier priority, it's highly unlikely the issue won't surface in this legislative session.
There are several bills currently sitting in committees that aim to crack down on the hiring of illegal immigrants.
Some opponents of the E-verify system, including the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, have argued that
a law like this would place unnecessary burdens on businesses and would create more problems than it would solve.
Other, more stringent bills, would not only require businesses to use worker verification systems, but they would enact strict penalties for businesses that violate the law.
State Affairs would require all employers to use a federal work authorization program, such as E-verify. E-verify is an Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of employees to work in the United States. With this law, the state would not award a public works contract of more than $5,000 to a business unless it is actively participating in a federal work authorization program.

AFRICA
KANO, Nigeria — The assault bore the hallmarks of long-term planning: cars loaded down with heavy explosives and driven by those willing to die, men wearing security uniforms and ready to shoot any official who believed they belonged to the government they despise.
Islamist sect attacks Nigerian capital
"Nigeria has never seen anything like this before," said Elizabeth
The coordinated attack in Nigeria's second largest city by the radical Islamist sect known as Boko Haram has shown its metamorphosis from a group that sent out lone motorcycle-riding gunmen to one that deployed scores of killers who moved with military precision. Nigeria's ill-equipped police and military have been unable to confront this growing threat to peace in Africa's most populous nation.
Donnelly, an analyst at the London-based think tank Chatham House. "It's something so diffuse, so amorphous. It's very ample and really hard to understand and pin down."
Boko Haram killed at least 185 people during its attack Friday on Kano, a city of more than 9 million that has political and religious importance in Nigeria's Muslim north. Suicide bombers targeted police stations and men wearing police or other uniforms gunned down officials, witnesses said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Police said they discovered 10 vehicles in the city wired with explosives before they detonated. Officers also recovered about 300 explosives packed into aluminum cans, as well as eight drums each containing 770 pounds of explosive each, local police commissioner Ibrahim Idris said.

"You will be the next president," Lopez said at a news conference with Caprires. The two embraced and raised their arms before a cheering crowd. "In me, he will have a great ally," Lopez added.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Opposition politician Leopoldo Lopez bowed out of Venezuela's presidential race on Tuesday, saying he will support front-runner Henrique Capriles Radonski.

The announcement gives a significant boost to Capriles, who has a commanding lead in the polls ahead of the Feb. 12 opposition primary, which will choose a single challenger to face President Hugo Chavez in the Oct. 7 presidential election.

Caprires, an athletic 39-year-old, has captured support among Venezuelans by presenting himself as a capable manager and pledging to solve problems such as rampant crime, unemployment and 27-percent inflation.
Capiles is currently the governor of Miranda state, which is the country's second-most populous state.
EUROPE
Copyright treaty causes Polish protest
WARSAW, Poland — Hundreds of people waged a street protest in Warsaw on Tuesday to protest the government's plan to sign an international copyright treaty, while several popular websites also shut down for an hour over the issue.
Poland's support for the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA, has sparked days of protest, including attacks on government sites, by groups who fear it could lead to online censorship.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk insisted Tuesday that his government will not give in to the protesters. He vowed that Poland will sign the international agreement, which is aimed at protecting intellectual property — like music and books — and products including pharmaceuticals and designer items. ACTA enjoys widespread support from
the producers of music, movies and a range of goods enjoying copyright protections.
"There will be no concessions to brutal blackmail," Tusk said at a news conference.
Several popular websites replaced their normal content with a statement about ACTA, including several that are popular with young people and carry a mix of celebrity news, jokes, funny photographs and other entertaining material.
An extremist right-wing group is planning a separate protest Wednesday to oppose ACTA.
However, an influential group representing authors and composers — known by its Polish acronym ZAIKS — has thrown its support behind ACTA. ZAIKS argued that ACTA will not hurt Internet freedom.
ASIA
Inmates riot in protest of prison rules
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — inmates and guards clashed at a Sri Lankan prison Tuesday, injuring at least 28 people before soldiers restored control after five hours, officials said.
Reporters outside heard gun-shots from within the compound in Colombo, and police fired tear gas before order was restored. Prisoners also set fire to the records room.
The inmates were protesting a move to curtail drug smuggling into the prison, police spokesman Ajith Rohana said. He said 24 prisoners and four guards were hurt.
Rohana did not describe the anti-drug measures, but a man who lives near the prison who
gave only his first name, Kumara, said there had been disturbances for several days after authorities banned food brought by relatives for the inmates.
Some prisoners were seen on the roof shouting slogans and holding a banner demanding the removal of the prison chief. Some threw stones at vehicles on a nearby main road, forcing police to close the road.
Dr. Prasad Ariyawansa of Colombo National Hospital said most of the injured prisoners had gunshot wounds. Three officers were hit by stones and another had a broken leg, he said, adding that the injuries were not life threatening.
AN UNDERGROUND COURTYARD
**DID YOU KNOW?**
A lot of people get lost in a building and don't know where they are. This is a typical scene when you are trying to find your way around a building. It's called a "pillar" or "wall." It helps people see what's on the other side of the door or window.
In this image, there are two pillars. They are made of brick and have a staircase running between them. The stairs are wooden and lead up to a landing area with a railing. There are also steps leading down from the landing area.
The wall in the background has a pattern of horizontal lines. It looks like a wood floor. There is a doorway behind the pillars, and it has a railing that matches the pillars.
It's hard to tell exactly what you're looking at because it's black and white. But it looks like a modern building with brick pillars and wooden steps.

STUDENT LIFE
Routines can stop wintry depression
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
Students can improve their health despite experiencing stress from academics, alcohol use, the transition to college and seasonal affective disorder (SAD), or seasonal depression during the winter months.
L. T. Hammons, a senior from Valley Falls, knows the effects of SAD firsthand.
"Half the battle every day is getting out of bed." Hammons said.
Hammons first experienced SAD — characterized by feelings of depression, abnormal sleeping habits and social withdrawal — during late October of his freshman year. According to Medicinenet, 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population is affected by SAD. Women are more likely to be effected by SAD than men, and, on average, its onset begins at age 23.
Although his condition has not been formally diagnosed, Hammons said alcohol use made his seasonal depression worse.
"A lot of people aren't willing to admit it, but alcohol can be depressive," Hammons said. "College is a very enabling environment for alcohol abuse."
In addition to alcohol, Hammons was still trying to adjust to his new environment at the University. He slept in several days a week, missed class and stayed up late to make up the work, which altered his sleeping pattern. At the end of his first semester, Hammons was on academic probation.
"I felt depressed if I wasted an entire day in bed," Hammons said. "I had to completely restructure myself as a student."
Eating regularly and staying physically active are important parts of practicing proper self-care said Linda Keeler, a psychiatrist who works in Counseling and Psychological Services, or CAPS, located in Watkins Health Center. She said she noticed students often don't dress warmly enough during the winter months and said students should dress properly to prevent the cold temperatures from negatively affecting their bodies.
Hammons said a structured, busy schedule gave him a routine that helped create social support, minimize missing classes and practice proper sleeping habits. While he still struggles with SAD every October, he is better equipped to deal with it. By the time classes resume in January, Hambons said he's usually recovered.
Although SAD is more prevalent at northern latitudes, students have a tendency to stay in, resulting in less physical activity and higher consumption of alcohol and unhealthy food.
"I can't emphasize enough that self-care is very important for a new semester," Keeler said. "That includes eating three times a day, especially breakfast, and setting aside eight to nine hours for sleep."

City to rename part of 11th Street in memory of former coach
"i think this would be a perfect way to honor the man," said city commissioner Mike Malone, who spoke of his personal relationship with Fambrough.
The name change is in memorandum of Don Fambrough, a former head coach of the KU football team who died last September.
Lawrence city commissioners unanimously voted Tuesday night to change the name of the portion of 11th Street between Mississippi and Missouri streets north of Memorial Stadium to Fambrough Drive.
Fambrough was a KU football player in the 1940s and was the head coach of the University's football team twice through the 1970s and 1980s. Fambrough is
best-remembered for encouraging passionate rivalry between the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri.
The renaming will not affect addresses, but University Audio-Reader Program director Janet Campbell voiced her concerns about the confusion that renaming could cause for patrons.
"I can tell you that it is very confusing to find our studios as it is, and while respect the intent, I oppose the change," Campbell said.
The commissioners suggested looking into either permanent or temporary signs that will have both 11th Street and Fambrough Drive listed on them.
The University also plans to name an unnamed portion of road that runs along the west side of Memorial Stadium Fambrough Way.

Obama outlined a vastly different vision for fixing the country than the one pressed by the Republicans. He pleaded for an active government that ensures economic fairness for everyone, just as his opponents demand that the government back off and let the free market rule.
"We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by," Obama said. "Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules."
Obama offered steps to help students afford college. He threw in references to accountability, including warning universities they will lose federal aid if they don't stop tuition from soaring.
At the core of Obama's address was the improving but deeply wounded economy — the matter still driving Americans' anxiety and the one likely to determine the next presidency.
"The state of our union is getting stronger," Obama said, calibrating his words as millions remain unemployed. Implicit in his declaration that the American dream is "within our reach" was the recognition that, after three years of an Obama presidency, the country is not there yet.

"Of all the news programs, the morning shows have the best opportunity to make a lot of money," according to Chris Licht, former executive producer of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," whom CBS hired to run its new show. "Not to try would be very foolish."
CBS works to wake up morning news program
LOS ANGELES — Since the advent of television, CBS has had a hard time getting up in the morning. Despite recruiting such heavyweights as Bryant Gumbel, Diane Sawyer, Bob Schieffer and even Dick Van Dyke, the network has always trailed NBC's "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning, America" in the ratings.
So why does CBS stay in the game?
Cash, and lots of it.

CBS' old "Early Show," which drew about half of the viewership of its counterparts, still reaped $178 million in advertising revenues in 2010, according to Kantar Media estimates. That's nowhere near the $454 million that "Today" pulled in, but it's a nice pile of cash, and it could get bigger.
Two weeks ago, CBS brought in new hosts Charlie Rose and Gayle King at a time when many believe "Today" is vulnerable — especially if Matt Lauer, its longtime co-host, doesn't renew his contract this year.

"Hugo" leads pack with 11 Oscar noms
Glenn Close and Janet McTeer, both playing women living disguised as men in 19th century Ireland, got best actress and supporting actress nominations for "Albert Nobbs."
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Though almost all of the pre-Oscar favorites picked up their expected nominations, there were surprises. Nine films were nominated for best picture, but not "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." Five films are up for best animated feature film, but not "The Adventures of Tintin."
Martin Scorsese's love poem to the movies and film preservation, "Hugo," led the pack with a whipping 11 Oscar nominations when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced the contenders for the 84h Academy Awards Tuesday morning in Beverly Hills.
Movies that hadn't made a ripple this awards season, such as "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," "Bridesmaids," "Albert Nobbs" and "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close," made Oscar noise in spite of that lack of buzz.
The same two pictures that have dominated the pre-Oscar awards — "The Artist" and "The Descendants"— still look like
favorites, collecting nine and five nominations, respectively. "Hugo" and "War Horse" (six nominations) set themselves up to be Oscar night's biggest losers, collecting lots of nominations in categories they have little chance of winning.
Meryl Streep collected her 17th nomination for her brilliant impersonation of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady." Though she is a favorite to take home the best actress Oscar (she hasn't won since 1982's "Sophie's Choice," despite collecting new nominations every couple of years), she struck a modest tone on hearing the news.
"I am honored to be in company with such beautiful artists, and touched deeply by my fellow actors for their generosity in giving me this acknowledgment," Streep said in a statement.
For once, the Academy remembered a few movies from earlier in the year — the March animated smash "Rango" and early summer's "The Tree of Life" (nominations for director Terrence Malick and for cinematography), "Bridesmaids" (nominations for screenplay and for supporting actress Melissa McCarthy) and Woody Allen's "Midnight in
Paris" (three nominations, including director and original screenplay). Demian Bichir from this summer's little-seen "A Better Life" scored a surprise nomination for best actor. He's competing against heavy favorite George Clooney ("The Descendants"), Jean Dujardin ("The Artist"), Brad Pitt ("Moneyball") and Gary Oldman, a first-time nominee for his performance as an aged, meticulous spy master in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy."
Best actress pits favorites Streep and Viola Davis ("The Help") against Close ("Albert Nobbs"), Rooney Mara ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") and Michelle Williams ("My Week With Marilyn").
"The Adventures of Tintin" and Steven Spielberg (no best director nomination for "War Horse" or "Tintin") were the early consensus on nomination day's biggest losers. Albert Brooks ("Drive"), director David Fincher ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"), Jim Broadbent ("The Iron Lady") and Ryan Gosling, not nominated for either "Drive" or "The Ides of March," also were left out in the Oscar cold.
The 84th Academy Awards will be handed out Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. and televised on ABC.

SOCIETY
Same-sex marriage as a civilrights issue has perhaps been a broken record for most of us, but how many of us have actually stopped to think about the effect same-sex weddings, a common result of choosing to marry, could have on state economies?
To the jackass who yells "get in the hole" during every one of our free throws, shut the hell up and go annoy the golf team instead.
Sure, the rituals and motions of weddings are pretty much structured for male-female marriages. But many same-sex couples probably want at least some type of ceremonial recognition if they are going to tie the knot, and many of them do that the same way their parents, friends, and everyone else does — weddings. And, as most of us probably know, weddings can be a little pricey.
Last month, The William's Institute on Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy — a high-volume research center focused on issues affecting LGBT persons housed at the University of California at Los
Angeles School of Law — released a report on the impact of same-sex weddings in Iowa.
The report states that just under 2,100 in- and out-of-state same-sex couples were married in Iowa in the 12 months following the Iowa Supreme Court's decision in favor of same-sex marriage in 2009.
As a result of many same-sex couples traveling to Iowa to take their vows and guests also traveling to witness others take their vows, in addition to all the wedding arrangements made by these couples and those already living in Iowa, anywhere between $12 and 13 million was added to state and local economies in Iowa, and nearly $1 million of this revenue went toward state and local taxes, according to the Williams Institute article.

Humor aside, if you aren't in support of same-sex marriage for "moral" or religious reasons, perhaps you could be for economic reasons. Same-sex weddings may not add a billion dollars to, say, the Kansas economy, but it would be more fiscally responsible than spending millions of dollars investigating military personnel suspected of being closedet homosexuals or all the wasted manpower that goes into drafting constitutional bans on same-sex marriages and other discriminatory policies

CULTURE
Fame and religion need separation
Tim Tebow shouldn't use his status as a celebrity to push his beliefs
Although the subject has been frequently discussed, for some reason I cannot stop myself from writing about Tim Tebow. His celebrity has intrigued me and annoyed me at the same time. Over the past six years, Tebow has caught the attention of almost anyone who is remotely interested in sports. The first time I heard about his over-the-top religious spirit was while watching the 2009 National Championship game against the Oklahoma Sooners when he played for the Florida Gators. He had a Bible verse written on his eye blacks, and the commentators mentioned his faith frequently.
My problem with Tebow is this: He relies too much on the concept that without God, he could not be a professional, contending quarterback. He is combining religion with sports. Should there not be separation of church and football? It is one thing to have faith and be an athlete, but it is another thing to use your status to push your religious agenda.
By Jacob Moffitt
jmoffitt@kansan.com
I have no problems with Tebow as a football player. What troubles me is that he uses his power as a quarterback to showboat his faith. For the most part it is because faith has absolutely nothing to do with being an athlete. Furthermore, does God really care about football? With world suffering and poverty, I am sure he has enough to keep himself busy. Does God really care if the Broncos win a game? If the Broncos lose, does that mean God wasn't listening or
For the same reason, I don't particularly get my political advice from actors. While watching Tom Cruise, I want to see him jumping off buildings in "Mission Impossible." His ability to act is separate from his belief in Scientology. People shouldn't care about his life philosophy; what they should care about is his ability to be a good actor. Same with Tebow: People should respect him for his performance on the field, not his religion.
The reason I and many others may dislike Tebow so much is because he seems to have such a better life than we do, and he seems to clearly be a much better person than me. He is highly successful, rich, famous, in shape, has great sportsmanship and he even has The Tim Tebow Foundation—which helps "bring a brighter day to deserving children."
doesn't exist? With that logic, you should be able to disprove God. If you want to minister to the lost, then become a pastor or a missionary.
I have trouble trusting Tebow because I don't want him to be involved in some scandal that will disvalue all of his previous endeavors (not saying he will, but it has happened many times in the past), such as abusing his power like Ted Haggard or Jim Bakker. I want him to truly be what he claims to be.
I'm just afraid Tebow will let me down, and all of those who view him as such a unique and great human being. Don't let us down, Tebow. America needs you. I need you to prove me wrong. I need you to show me that people can be religious with money and fame and not mess up. Tebow, if you continue to prove that you are legit in your beliefs, you might be able to renew my faith in people. Please don't let me down, Tebow, but if you could cut back on the constant prayers and kneeling on the field, that would be great.

ENTERTAINMENT
Smart television shows can be a risky move
Television's original purpose was to give the people of America a new form of entertainment. It allowed people to come home from work, sit on the couch and relax. The goal for television was to reach the same aesthetic pleasure music gives the human brain through repetitive catchy sounds. Television wanted you to shut off your brain—and maybe sell you some name-brand soap—but mainly it wanted you to forget the real world.
Today, television still has those same goals, but there is another type of television that contradicts those goals. This new brand of television has decided to go to war with the conventional television format, but it has not been very successful—yet.
Much like music, television has become not merely entertainment, but also an art form. While CBS keeps producing sitcoms with the same format, clichéd jokes and a laugh track to make sure you know when to laugh, other networks have allowed people who view television as an art form to have a voice by producing their shows. Shows such as NBC's "Community" and FOX's "Arrested Development" have strayed from the path that's been used since television's earliest days.
"Arrested Development" was great because it was smarter than your normal sitcom. It focused on making fun of recent popular events and moved faster than you could comprehend. After watching re-runs, I started to notice jokes that I didn't notice the first time around.
By Dylan Lysen
dlysen@kansan.com
because Arrested Development" didn't use a laugh track, the next joke would come at you in mere seconds. Although "Arrested Development" was much smarter than the original format shows, it would not get the respect it deserved from viewers. The show was canceled midway through its third season.
"Community" is now in the same situation that "Arrested Development" was in. Midway through its third season, "Community" is sitting out NBC's winter schedule as it waits to learn its fate. The show will finish the season in the spring, but anything after that is very doubtful. "Community" uses the same idea as "Arrested Development" by making fun of popular culture and refusing to slow down for viewers. The show even blatantly makes fun of more successful shows by mocking them, most recently seen in the episode "Regional Holiday Music" as a
mock "Glee" episode.
The problem is that many people still want television to be relaxing and let them shut off their brain. Watching "Community" and "Arrested Development" makes the viewer think. Viewers can miss jokes completely, and nothing is more intimidating than watching a comedy that you just don't seem to understand. It's hard to relax when you are being sprinted through an obstacle course of jokes.
Luckily for "Arrested Development" and its cult following, it has been granted an afterlife, since Netflix has decided to bring back the show that will lead into a major motion picture. "Community" will probably not be as lucky, and may see its last days this upcoming spring. But when you try to break the mold, you have to be ready to suffer the consequences. And in this case, it's the sad truth that trying to outsmart the competition can be dangerous.

Sutherland makes history with 1,000 points
KATHLEEN GIER
kgier@kansan.com
Aishah Sutherland stood at the free-throw line on Saturday night one point shy of 1,000 for her career. She missed the first, but the second was perfect, falling through the net and into history.
In front of alumni and the second-largest home crowd of the season, Sutherland became the 24th player in program history to record 1,000 career points and just the 15th player to pair that with more than 500 rebounds.
"It means I can go down in history for this program and it means a lot." Sutherland said. "I feel like I've accomplished something in this program and am able to leave my senior year knowing that I've reached 1,000 points."
But the senior from Paris, Calif., has one more milestone she wants to work on before graduation.
"Now I'm focused on rebounding and trying to get close to 1,000 rebounds if I can. That is my goal to complete this program," Sutherland said.
Assistant coach Tory Verdi said this milestone means a lot for Sutherland's development in the
program.
"I think it is a great accomplishment and it says a lot about who she is as a player and as a person." Verdi said. "It's a credit to her. She has invested the time to make herself a better basketball player."
Verdi works primarily with the post players and has helped develop Sutherland's range and rebounding this year.
At 6 foot 2, Sutherland has size, making her hard to compete with in the lane. Against Oklahoma State, she pulled down a career-high 22 rebounds while scoring 15 points.
Verdi said her length and ability to quickly change speeds contribute to her powerful game. He said that even when he was coaching at Nebraska he knew Sutherland's potential.
"She has been unbelievable," Verdi said. "We all knew of the potential that Aishah has had and I think coach has been preaching all along and she is starting to get that once you have consistency, good things will happen to you and hard work pays off."
She had five double-doubles in the first 18 games. She has also led the team in scoring on three ocae-
sions and rebounding in a teamhigh 10 games. Then there are her blocked shots. She currently ranks second in program history with 130 blocks.
"I have always been working on my game and right now I just had
a sense of urgency that came to me, I guess," Sutherland said.
That sudden burst has contributed to Sutherland recently playing some of the best games in her time as a Jayhawk.

"It's a credit to her. She has invested the time to make herself a better basketball player."
Verdi also said he has noticed a fundamental difference in her mechanics from the way she sets up shots to her ability to rip and drive to the basket, but the biggest thing is realizing her place in the program.
Sutherland makes this difference through consistency and hard work in practice, and her success combines nicely to create a veteran group of leaders. Now, Kansas has four players it can rely

Sutherland said she would hit the board even harder now as she worked toward that final goal of her career — 1,000 rebounds — as a Jayhawk with 12 conference games left.
"I feel like I accomplished a goal that I have been having in this program and now I am going to focus on rebounding and try to get close to 1,000 rebounds," Sutherland said.

Bosh's 35-point game helps Heat to beat Cavs
MIAMI —LeBron James was not playing his best game, and an opportunity to defeat his former team was slipping away.
Chris Bosh made sure that didn't happen.
Bosh scored 17 points in the fourth quarter — the most in a final period by any Miami player this season — and finished with a game-high 35 points, carrying the Heat to a 92-85 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night. Bosh reached the 30-point mark for the fourth time this season as Miami improved to 4-1 against Cleveland since James joined the Heat.
"Whenever I play, and I don't hesitate,
good things happen," Bosh said.
He was all about the points down the stretch, literally and figuratively. The 17-point final quarter matched the third-best of his career, and he capped the night with a pair of finger-wags — one at one of his shots as it hovered on the rim before falling to begin a three-point play, the other at wife Adrienne after his jumper fell for an 84-76 lead and finally allowed Miami to exhale.
"I think he made the biggest adjustment with this whole situation," James said, referring to the moves that allowed him, Bosh and Dwyane Wade — who sat out again with a sprained right ankle — to team up in July 2010. "He's done it before."
The 35 points matched Bosh's high since joining Miami.
Kyrie Irving — Cleveland's No. 1 overall draft pick and the face of the Cavs' franchise — scored 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting. Samarco Samuels made his first seven shots and finished with 15 points for the Cavs, who got an 11-point, 11-rebound night from Anderson Varejao and 10 points from Ramon Sessions.
"We kind of beat ourselves tonight," Irving said. "We had 22 turnovers and we lost by seven points."
Miami committed 18 turnovers, leading to 22 Cleveland points, but found a way — thanks to Bosh — down the stretch.

Kansas State coach Frank Martin calls for a time out during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Missouri, Saturday, Jan. 7, in Manhattan. Martin believes in substituting as soon as a player makes a bad play on the court.

K-State's liberal substituting key part of Martin's coaching
"If I was a football coach, I'd drive you guys crazy," Martin said with a sly grin. "I'd sub the quarterback — I'd sub everybody. If guys don't do their jobs, why should they play? I don't care what they did last year or last week, last game. You've got to do your job every day."
That's why it's not uncommon to see full line changes during games. Or star guard Rodney McGruder heading to the bench in the opening minutes. Or dependable forward Jamar Samuels taking a seat next to Martin in crunch time.
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) Some would argue that Kansas State coach Frank Martin substitutes so readily because the Wildcats are so deep. Others would say that the Wildcats are so deep because he substitutes so liberally.
While teams like Kansas get by on five starters and a couple of go-to reserves off the bench. No. 22 Kansas State is the only team in the Big 12 with 10 players averaging at least 10 minutes per game.
"How would your backup ever be ready to play if he never got in?" Martin asked.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
That level of depth is why any player who commits a sloppy turnover, takes an ill-advised shot or misses a defensive assignment will likely be on the bench within about 30 seconds. And why the guys coming off the bench have played enough important minutes to understand what the Wildcats need in any given situation.
Junior guard Martavious Irving is fast and strong, a good perimeter defender who can get to the rim and the foul line. Sophomore guard Shane Southwell gives the lineup more height, transfer Jeremy Jones can get off a shot as quickly as anybody, freshman Adrian Diaz has instincts that allow him to always find the ball, and senior Victor Ojelley epitomizes work ethic and leadership.
Martin's constant changing of players keeps the Wildcats on their toes, both in practice and in games. A player must earn his time through practicing well, but just because he earns a certain spot does not mean he'll keep it for the duration of the game.
It's certainly a different philosophy than elsewhere around the league.
When the Wildcats hosted Texas on Jan. 18, McGruder and fellow guard Will Spradling were the only Kansas State players on the floor for more than 30 minutes. Three others played about 20 minutes each, and another trio got off the bench for least a quarter of the game. Three more provided just shy of 10 minutes, and the result was enough energy down the stretch that the Wildcats hung on for an 84-80 victory.
By comparison, when the Jayhawks faced the Longhorns on Jan. 21, their five starters each played at least 30 minutes.
Six-foot-11 junior Jordan Henriquez was recently suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, removing one of the most assertive big men on the team from the starting lineup. Redshirt freshman Nino Williams, who scored 12 points in his first significant playing time against Oklahoma, is trying to recover from a grade-two sprain of the MCL in his knee.
All that depth may come in handy late in the season. Now that there are only 10 teams in the league, the conference schedule has expanded to 18 games, with each
All of that depth has already come in handy.
"It's definitely new to me because I was always playing a lot in high school — I barely got off the floor in high school," Diaz said. "And now that he subs me out like every second, it's like, 'OK, I've got to find a way to get back on the court.'"
For many players, that constant cycle of evaluation and consequence takes some getting used to.
While a seven- or eight-man system might work for other teams, it's not the way Martin operates. He believes in giving players what he calls "line" based on how responsible they are — the line representing an ability to make mistakes and remain in the game.
The Wildcats have seen the merit in their coach's method.
"If you make some mistakes consistently, and your behavior doesn't change, and you go out in the game and you make the same mistake that you make over and over, then that line is real short," Martin said. "When you go out there and you're a guy that continues to grow, when you make a mistake, that line's a little longer."
team playing everybody else twice. The Wildcats (14-4, 3-3) head to Texas Tech on Wednesday night as they continue the opening slate of games against Big 12 opponents.
Irving started four conference games before Martin replaced him with Rodriguez. And since coming off the bench, the veteran guard has been playing better than ever.
"If you have somebody coming off the bench giving you great energy, you don't really lose nothing from the starting five," Irving said, "and then the starting five players, they can also get a break, give a rest, come back with the same energy. So as far as Big 12, I think it helps us a lot and creates problems for a lot of teams."

Women's basketball develops frontcourt
RYAN MCCARTHY rmccarthy@kansan.com
There's more on the line for the Kansas women's basketball team than another Big 12 game.
After losing to Texas A&M on Saturday 76-65, Kansas must make sure that one loss does not turn into two against Texas Tech tonight at 7 in Allen Fieldhouse.
This could be a difficult task since the Jayhawk doesn't defeated Texas Tech since Brandy was topping the music charts.
The last win was on Jan. 23, 1999, before Bonnie Henrickson became the women's basketball coach. In fact, Henrickson has yet to experience a win against the Red Raiders, but she says she isn't focused on Texas Tech's credentials.
"We just want to win. I don't care if we've beat them every game we've ever played against them," Henrickson said. "The most important thing is finding a way to win tomorrow."
Junior guard Monica Engelman added with a smile,"Bonnie always says the next game is the biggest game of the year. We have goals for where we want to end up, and getting this next one will help us get closer."
Even during the loss to the Aggies, Engelman showed determination in the game. She grabbed down six rebounds and accumulated 14 points.
"It is comfortable for me and it's allowing me to do what I'm supposed to be doing." Engelman said. "Now that I got where I used to be, I can build on top of that and continue to push further."
The Red Raiders come into this game riding a four-game losing streak after winning their first 14 games of the year. However, the Jayhawks know that Texas A&M's losing streak does not lower the level of competition.
"Our kids aren't caught in everybody tell them 'Oh, they lost four in a row', Henrickson said. "They've played some tough games in the Big 12. That what they're done."
Engelman echoed a similar sentiment.
"A team that's been losing like that is more difficult to play against because they're more desperate to get a win. They're going to come at you hungry," Engelman said.
The Jayhawks will also have to deal with several solid players, including junior guard Monique Smalls. She currently leads the NCAAA in assist-to-turnover ratio at 3.77 per game.
There were several candidates in the past week for this position, but freshman forward Chelsea Gardner separated herself from the pack of young Kansas players.
Senior forward Kierra Mallard could be difficult for the frontcourt to handle. In the last 18 games, she has averaged 13.7 points and 9.1 rebounds.
In order for the Jayhawks to pull out a win, they will also need to rely on the continued development of their frontcourt.
"I've been working hard at practice. Changing things that I wasn't doing at the beginning, but now I see that well," Gardner said.
Edited by Caroline Kraft
"No matter who you're playing in this league, there's just really small room for error and we just had a gaping hole the other night," Henrickson said.
Coach Henrickson said that the way Gardner continues to improve reminds her of another player who's made impressive accomplishments for the Jayhawks.
"She reminds me a lot of Carolyn (Davis) her freshman year," Henrickson said. "She keeps getting better and better. She wants to get it right. She asks really good questions. She doesn't waste days."
Along with the expected contributions from the starters, the Jayhawks must buckle down and make sure this one-game losing bump doesn't turn into two.

Perreault's third goal of the game came 7:18 into the third period when he put in a rebound off Roman Hamrik's shot to give Washington the lead.
Cody Eakin also scored for the Capitals, who won for the second time in five games. Dennis Wideman added an empty-netter with 27 seconds left.
Rich Peverley, Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand scored for Boston in the final game for both teams before the All-Star break.
The Capitals were without captain Alex Ovechkin, who was serving the first game of a three-game suspension for a hit on Pittsburgh defenseman Zbynek Michalek in Washington's loss Sunday. Ovechkin also announced Tuesday he would skip the NHL All-Star game, saying,
"My heart is not there."
Washington was already missing another key offensive player: center Nicklas Backstrom, who missed his 10th straight game after being elbowed in the head.
"You're not going to replace Alex, but as a committee we're going to have to get the goals," Washington coach Dale Hunter said before the game. "We need people to step up."
Offensive chances for both teams were relatively sparse in the first period, but the goals came fast and furious in the second.
Washington opened the period with a pair of goals 41 seconds apart to take a 2-1 lead. Eakin sneaked a shot past Boston goalie Tnukka Rask at the 2:14 mark, and Perreault followed with his first goal of the game on a nice pass from Alexander Semin.
The teams then traded scores off turnovers. Seguin picked off a pass from Capitals defenseman John Carlson in Washington's zone and scored at 12:21 in the second.

Perreault put the Capitals ahead again about 2 minutes later, stealing a pass in the middle of the ice and converting on a breakaway for his second of the game.
Perreault was whistled for a hooking penalty with about three minutes to play in the second period, and Boston took advantage as Marchand banged in a rebound at the 17:42 mark to tie the game at 3.
Peverley got a lucky bounce to score the game's first goal with 2:14 to go in the opening period. Deep in the left corner, Peverley tried a centering pass to Milan Lucic in front of the net. Washington defenseman Karl Alzner, sprawled on the ice to block a possible shot, got his stick on the puck and redirected it into the Capitals' net.

Robinson's double-digit stats distinct
MAX ROTHMAN

Book junior forward Thomas Robinson for a double-double in just about any game. For a Kansas team littered with inconsistencies, it's about as sure a bet you can make. He's reached the feat in 14 of his 20 games this season.
In Monday night's 64-54 victory against Texas A&M, he got another, finishing with 18 points and 10 rebounds. But unlike routs against Baylor, Oklahoma and Texas Tech, this time, it wasn't easy.
In the first half, despite grabbing five rebounds, he struggled to assert himself as a scorer. He missed five of his six shot attempts: two midrange jump shots and three layups which Self called "bunnies," that were two to four feet away from the basket.
"We probably came away with less than what I would hope, considering where he caught the ball," Self said. "He caught the ball in tight pretty good."
Aggies senior forward David Louebau defended Robinson one-on-one for much of the first half, using varying tactics to hassle and disrupt. He slapped at the ball once Robinson caught it, slid his hips into lanes that Robinson usually pursues and did all he could to force Robinson out of the paint, making him less of a rebounder and more of a jump shooter.
Even when Robinson u quick and powerful first step to pass Loubeau, he missed shots that he usually makes.
Even when Robinson used his

WHAT IS A DOUBLE-DOUBLE?
CHRIS NEAL/KANSAN
A double-double is when a player records double-digit statistics in one game in two of the following categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
that makes our offense a little different," Taylor said. "It's an inside-out offense." Robinson used a secret weapon to counter the Aggie's strategy. "The defense wasn't trying to let me touch it," Robinson said. "So I had to knock my
free throws down."
He did just that, sinking all 10 of his shots from the free
silicone
throw line. His calm, smooth success as a free-throw shooter saved Kansas on a night when junior guard Elijah Johnson and senior guard Conner Teahan missed 10 of 13 three-point shots.
It's not a strategy that Self strives for, though the free throws might have hailed Kansas out.
"I if I had to pick one of the two to make, I'd take the bunnies," Self said. "They count for two."

Sixth man shines for top-ranked UK
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Ga. — Darius Miller came off the bench to score 19 points and Kentucky cruised in its first game since returning to No. 1 in the rankings, beating Georgia 57-44 on Tuesday night.
Miller, who had started eight of the previous nine games for the Wildcats (20-1, 6-0 Southeastern Conference), returned to the sixthman role he played earlier in the season. It didn't really matter. The senior made 7 of 8 shots, including all four from 3-point range.
Kentucky used spurts of 10-0 and 10-1 to build a 38-26 halftime lead. The Bulldogs (10-10, 1-5) never threatened in the second half, even though the Wildcats cooled off considerably. They went more than 5 minutes without scoring and made just 7 of 23 shots over the final 20 minutes.
Kentucky, which had been No.1 in The Associated Press rankings for two weeks early in the season returned to the top spot after Syracuse lost last weekend.
$ \begin{array}{c c c c c} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\ \end{array} $
For one half at least, the Wildcats lived up to the billing against a rebuilding Georgia team that has lost five of its last six, but did start out with some inspired play before its first home sellout of the season.
Led by Nemanja Djurisic's 10 points, Georgia kept it close for much of the opening half. The Bulldogs withstood that 10-0 run by Kentucky and trailed only 23-22 with less than 6 minutes to go in the period.
Suddenly, the Wildcats turned it on. Kyle Wiltjer knocked down a 3-pointer, then passed to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for a dunk. Dustin Ware provided for the home team with a 3-pointer, but that jumper with 5:01 remaining was Georgia's final field goal of the half.
Kentucky scored 10 of the last 11 points in the half, with Miller scoring seven straight on a 3-pointer and two jumpers from inside the arc.
In the second half, neither team played with much intensity and the crowd amused itself with dueling chants.

THE MORNING BREW Early season NBA surprises set tone
A month ago, the National Basketball Association began its season with thrilling games on Christmas Day. Now, the season is a quarter of the way over. Some teams continue to excel while others continue to fall. Here are some of the early season surprises and disappointments.
BIGGEST SURPRISE:
PHILADELPHIA 76ERS (12-5)
A team that barely finished over. 500 last season has the Eastern conference's fourthbest record. The 76ers win with stifling defense that only allows 88 points per game, the second-best defense behind the Chicago Bulls.
Add the balance scoring attack to the defense and the 76ers suddenly become a different team. They have seven players that average 10 points and one who is just shy of averaging nine. Lou Williams leads the team in scoring with 15.5, but never starts a game.
With star player Andre Iguodala and the re-emergence of Elton Brand, the 76ers' fast start might lead to more success in the playoffs.
By Pat Strathman
pstrathman@kansan.com
HONORABLE MENTION: UTAH JAZZ (10-5)
Trading away NBA star Deron Williams and losing Andrei Kirilenko to a Russian team are monumental scars on this Jazz team. Somehow, the team finds a way to cope with the losses.
Big men Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap continue to excel as the top two scorers on this jazz squad, but the third option may surprise people. Former Washington Wizard Josh Howard averages 10.7 points. Not his career best, but still better than expected for the eight-year veteran.
Add in the young, developing players such as Enes Kanter, Gordon Hayward, Alec
Burks and Derrick Favors, and the Jazz have a solid nucleus of players with the Western conference's third-best record.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (5-11)
Though the Warriors can turn their woes around, a team with this much talent shouldn't struggle early. Yes, Stephen Curry's injury can lead to losses, but losses to the terrible Charlotte Bobcats, struggling Phoenix Suns and the New Jersey Nets?
What about the defense that Marc Jackson was supposed to supply? The Warriors are 27th in the NBA in points allowed per game. Oh, and don't forget about the 24th-best rebounding team.
The roster has talent. Monta Ellis' 23.3 points per game is great with David Lee's 18.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. The Warriors even have Kansas alumnus Brandon Rush, who chips in nine points per game. Even with a loaded roster, the Warriors find themselves near the bottom with the New Orleans Hornets
HONORABLE MENTION: NEW YORK KNICKS (7-10)
KU
Last year, Carmelo Anthony was supposedly the answer for New York fans, but Anthony only led the Knicks to a sweep against the Boston Celtics.
This year, the Knicks nabbed a big key to the NBA championship in ex-Maverick Tyson Chandler, who averages a near double-double with 9.9 points and 9.7 rebounds. They also drafted Iman Shumpert, a rookie who averages 12.3 points.
Still, the same issue lingers with the Knicks: defense. The Knicks' 97 points per game allowed is 21st in the league. In their six-game losing streak, the Knicks allowed 102 points per game. Until the defense improves, New York will struggle.
Though these teams are raising eyebrows early in the season, there are still plenty of games left. The start of the season is important, but finishing is most important, and these teams may rise and fall before playoff time.

Mothers need options for infants at Olympics
The London Organizing Committee made the statement after complaints flooded the British parenting website
LONDON — Organizers of the 2012 London Olympics said Tuesday they would consider options for new mothers who want to bring their babies into venues, after some parents complained that they have to buy full price tickets for their infants.
Mumsnet, with pregnant women who bought tickets for themselves — but not for their unborn children — wondering what they could do with babies who were breast-feeding.
"Of course we understand that some new mums may want to take their babies to events they have tickets to, and we will look at what we can do when the remaining tickets go on sale in April," the committee said in a statement.
Organizers have said that every child — including newborns carried in a parent's arms — must have their own tickets, in part to keep track of the number of visitors so venue capacity is not exceeded. Many of the mothers who posted on Mumsnet said they had bought Olympic tickets before they became pregnant, or will have newborns by the time of the games.

But it's tough to believe that Webb, who almost universally received praise for his toughness, would just quit playing football, and it's tough to believe there was no push given to Webb on his way out
It's easy to see why Webb wept. He had just lost his football coach. And perhaps he knew that it wouldn't be long until he lost more
COMMENTARY Wrongful goodbye for Webb
GRADING SCALE:
JAYHAWK HOOPS
ONLINE ONLY AT KANSAN.COM
Senior receiver Kale Pick once told a story about Webb wrestling a 300-pound offensive lineman as a reaction to video game smack talk. Does that sound like someone who would just quit?
The positive for Webb is that he can graduate this year and play else where next season without sitting for a year.
So while Webb won't get any recognition for his work at Kansas, he may get a chance to get it somewhere else.
And this quarterback deserves every chance he gets.

On Nov. 27, 2011, former Kansas quarterback Jordan Webb cried after his final goodbye to Turner Gill.
In other words, a two-year start ing quarterback at a Division I school who showed vast improvement between his freshman and sophomore seasons voluntarily stopped playing football.
The media also underplayed Webb's departure, giving far more glamour to the Brock Berglund story, who has not once suited up for Kansas on a game day. Berglund gets the attention, while Webb is an afterthought.

Webb was the poster child of a team that got abused all season, and the only recognition that he gets is a small chirp about him in Dayne Crist's and Jake Heaps' introductory press conference. That's not too much respect for a player who has endured a lot of pain for the University's sake.
Webb was rocked against Texas A&M this season. He was sacked six times in the game; one hit temporarily kept him off of the field. He then returned to the beating that was already in progress. He later said, "That's just the way it goes sometimes." Does that sound like someone who would give up?
Nearly two months later, on Jan. 16, Charlie Weis announced that Webb would no longer play football for Kansas. Weis said it was a voluntary decision and that Webb would remain a student at the University.
No, no it doesn't. In fact, it sounds as if Webb would do everything in his power to continue playing football.
Webb's mother, Stacy Grus,
said that when he was a freshman,
Webb's high school coach told her
that her son was too short to play
football at the next level. Things
obviously changed. Does it sound
like he quit then?

REVIVING ATHLETICISM
RYAN SCHLESENER
rschlesener@kansan.com
This does not mean that sports have to be over altogether. The intramural sports program provided by KU Recreation Services gives students a chance to continue to play on a team.
Those who played sports in high school remember the thud of a baseball as a glove snaps shut around it, or the hollow echo of a ball bouncing on a gym floor. For some, athletics was an escape from the educational world of high school. Coming to college, however, not everyone can be a Division 1 athlete.
Each year, around 10,000 students at the University participate in one or more of the 30 different intramural sports activities offered, according to Eric White, a senior from Greensburg, who is a program manager for the intramural sports program. White said he thought many students enjoyed intramurals because they're "a fun way to play organized sports with your peers, instead of just playing pickup games."
There are a picture of athletic activities offered through the intramural program, ranging from the typical — basketball, football and soccer — all the way to table tennis, dodgeball and even foosball. There is something for everyone in intramural sports at the University, and every student has the opportunity to participate.
Students join intramurals for several reasons. Some participate to stay in shape, some do it for fun and some do it because they simply love the game. Brennan Clark, a junior from Lyons who participates
in intramural baseball, softball and basketball, said intramurals are something to do to keep your mind off school at night.
Other students use intramurals as a time to play organized sports for fun with friends.
"Sometimes it's hard to find the opportunity and time to do that, and this facilitates that," said Erin Minor, a second-year graduate student from Columbia, Mo., who played indoor soccer this year.
While some intramural activities have a small team fee, many are free to all students. There are team
sports, doubles sports and even individual leagues for some activities. Grab a friend and sign up for doubles table tennis, or take on the sports geniuses in Individual Sports Trivia. "Madden," raquetball and table tennis are upcoming winter leagues with registration deadlines on Jan. 31. Go to recreation.ku.edu/programs/intramurals for more information on joining a league.

After being notified that he would not be starting at Kansas next season, freshman quarterback Brock Berglund decided it was time to review his standing at Kansas.
The University decided otherwise.
Berglund sent a letter to the University and notified the quarterbacks coach Ron Ponlus that he would like to speak with other Division I coaches about his future at Kansas. He was hoping to speak with former Kansas coach Turner Gill, who recruited Berglund to Kansas in the first place.
"I just told coach Powlus that I would like to speak with some of those guys that counseled me through the high school recruiting process," Berglund said. "Like coach Gill."
Berglund hasn't gotten that chance, because — to the Berglund family's surprise — his request to speak with other college coaches was denied.
The University also denied Berglund a request to transfer, a request he never made in the first place. In fact, Berglund's father, Brett, said that the letter explicitly said his son did not request to transfer or change his status as a student athlete at Kansas.
The response from Kansas contained another surprise.
"I really didn't understand. It seemed very overreaching. No
reason was given. Absolutely none," Brett Berglund said. "And you're just supposed to reference cryptic regulations or guidelines pertaining to an appeal. It's certainly frustrating."
So the Berglund family made a request to appeal Kansas' decision and was forced to make another career-altering decision for Brock.
"The only thing going on now is I'm holding a scholarship and I can't go elsewhere, and they can't use that scholarship so it really doesn't make sense." BROCK BERGLUND Former quarterback
Weis had scheduled a mandatory team meeting on Jan. 16. If
Berglund attended the meeting, he would be locked into Kansas for the semester and would waste another semester of eligibility.
Berglund decided not to attend the team meeting. He notified the Athletics Department that he would not be there.
But yet another surprise was waiting for Berglund.
During Weis' press conference following the team meeting, the coach announced the dismissal of six players, including Berglund. The reason given for Berglund's dismissal was that he missed a
"Missed a team meeting' is such a broad way of putting it," Berglund said. "Guys miss team meetings in the middle of the season all the time just because they're messing around. It's not an accurate depiction of what happened."
While Kansas Athletics has stayed mum on the subject because of the ongoing appeals process, Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony made a brief comment.
And the school did not notify Berglund. Instead, he found out via Twitter that coach Weis announced that Berglund was off the team.
mandatory team meeting — the same meeting that Berglund could not attend to save his eligibility, the same meeting that Berglund had notified the school he was going to miss.
"There's a right way and a wrong way of doing things," Marchiony said. "We're confident that the appeal process pulls forward. We'll come to a good resolution."
For now, though, Berglund remains in limbo.
He will not be playing football for Kansas again. But, for the moment, he cannot explore his options and look to play elsewhere.
Right now, all he can do is wait and let the future unfold.
"I'm no longer with this football team, no longer on campus." Berglund said. "The only thing that is going on now is I'm

Film crew comes to Lawrence, involves students in project
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Lawrence is coming to a theater near you, thanks to actor, writer and director Blake Robbins, who spent several weeks this month filming "The Sublime and the Beautiful" in town.
The film tells the story of a professor whose three children are killed by a drunken driver just before Christmas. Robbins said the film is a study of how people cope with death and loss, influenced by his own experience, which includes watching the second tower fall during the terrorist attacks on September 11.
"I got fascinated with how tragedy sideswipes an ordinarily normal day," Robbins said. "To me, the movie is about life, love, fate, free will, how much we control over and how much we don't, and its a real, hopefully, authentic portrayal of grief and loss."
Robbins, who has guest starred on shows like "Oz," "The Office" and "The O.C." said he worked on the script for years. When he came to Lawrence to work on associate film professor Kevin
Willmott's "The Battle of Bunker Hill," Robbins realized Lawrence would be the perfect place to shoot his college-town drama.
Finding a location was just the beginning of the process. In need of money to fund his project, Robbins reached out to people via Kickstarter, a website that allows people to donate money to finance projects. He raised $20,000 through the site and managed to stretch his budget.
"He wrote it to what we have here and he wrote for what we would have access to," said Willmott, who is serving as executive producer. "Writing it that way was just really, really smart. Suddenly it doesn't look like a low budget film. You've created a whole world."
Having a local cast and crew willing to help bring his vision to life proved crucial, as did the help of Lawrence community members who allowed their hotties and cars to be used in the film. The University also played a major role in the filmmaking process, allowing Robbins and his crew to film in the Alumni Association building. Wescoe classrooms and offices and basketball courts in
the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center.
I couldn't have done it without the University's support," Robbins said.
He also gave back to the University by hiring several graduates and current students to work on his film.
"It really is an outreach program for students in the film department," Robbins said. "They're working with professional actors, professional cinematographers. They certainly have an experience now to apply to their lives as future filmmakers."
One of those students is production assistant Eric Rowlands, a senior from Manhattan, who donated $150 to the film through Kickstarter. When he realized the movie was being made in Lawrence, he con-
asked if he could work on the film.
"It's amazing."
Rowlands said of his experience. "I don't even want to
go back to school. I'm so ready to just do this forever. It's magical."

Aerospace jobs still essential
MARSHALL SCHMIDT

Job prospects for KU aerospace students remain strong despite Boeing's recent decision to close its Wichita facilities by the end of 2013.
"I think there will be a huge need for airplanes in the future, which requires aerospace jobs," said Jan Roskam, emeritus professor at the University. "There's a need for the skills we impart on them all over the world."
Roskam worked for Boeing from 1958 until 1967 before coming to the University. He sees the decision having little effect on students' job prospects, considering the move affects 2,100 Wichitans, most of whom are not aerospace engineers.
Alejandra Escalera, a sophomore aerospace engineering student from La Paz, Bolivia, hopes to work in the space industry, perhaps for Lockheed
Martin, a global security and information technology company that works with the U.S. Department of Defense. For the past school year, she worked in the composites lab where she applied concepts learned in the classroom.

tion, though prospects are more difficult as a foreigner because of security clearance issues. She is considering becoming a U.S. citizen, which would allow her to join the Air Force as a test pilot, another dream of hers.
"I think there will be a huge need for airplanes in the future, which requires aerospace jobs."
"You're learning with the book and also applying what you're learning." Escalera said.
"Going abroad would be ideal, but I need to get experience in the U.S. before going anywhere else," Jasperse said. He points to his experience in the lab, where
Chris Jasperse, a senior from Gardner, has worked in the composites lab for the past two years and will be looking for a job after graduating in May.

Stipulations on what is considered a boarding house changed, decreasing the number of eligible houses in the Oread district, at Tuesday night's weekly city commission meeting.
In a four to one vote, the city commission decided to change boarding house eligibility from 3,500 raw square feet to 4,500 raw square feet. This changes the number of eligible houses from 89 to 20. Last week the commission said it thought 20 eligible houses was appropriate, but deferred the decision because it was unclear if the research that produced the number included basements and attics.
The decision affects all housing in Lawrence, though most boarding houses are in the Oread neighborhood that surrounds the University.
A boarding house is a type of zone exempt from the rule that four or more unrelated people can live together, as long as it meets the square-footage requirement and provides 1/2 a parking space per bedroom.
The decision may lead to fewer potential student houses in an area some students feel they deserve to live.
"It ites appropriate that this is where I live," Sheila Collins said, who lives in an Oread boarding house. "I think if anything this area should be more student occupied because it's in the middle of where we need to go."
During last week's meeting the issue was open for public comment, and many voiced concerns that 1/2 a parking space per bedroom was not enough, leaving streets congested.
"I don't want to see the parking intensity increase anymore," said John Brewer, an Oread resident.
Collins said not everyone living in her house has a car, and the
However, it is uncertain how long the new regulations will remain in place with the upcoming Oread Neighborhood Plan.
"It's a great, complicated neighborhood with a mix of residents," Cromwell said. "We want to keep it that way."
The plan is aimed at overall improvement of the area's infrastructure, land use and atmosphere. The plan will keep the balance of the population, but will "maintain and stabilize the strongest concentrations of owner-occupied housing and encourage owner occupancy throughout the neighborhood," according to the land use section of the plan.
availability to walk both downtown and campus is one of the reasons she lives there.
The plan also calls for re-zoning throughout the Oread, and the commission recognized that their boarding house regulations may only be temporary, but think it will carry some meaning.
"If I couldn't live here, and had to live further away, to the point that a car was needed, my daily commute would absolutely be more difficult," Collins said.
Mayor Aron Cromwell said last week that it's important to keep the neighborhood mixed with both students and permanent residents. He believes the 20 eligible houses, which account for just less than five percent of the neighborhood, will accomplish that.
"They may make some changes." Cromwell said. "But this will probably carry a little bit of weight."
The commission is expecting to look at the plan within the next few months.

Obama focuses on higher education
In his State of the Union speech Tuesday night, President Obama addressed the issue of higher education, stressing the need to make it more of a priority for states and the federal government.
"Higher education can't be a luxury," Obama said. "It's an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford."
He said that it's not enough to increase government aid to students.
"We can't just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition," he said. "We'll run out of money."
In addition, Obama warned colleges and universities that if they couldn't find ways to stop ever-increasing tuition prices, he would limit amount of federal financial aid they're eligible to receive.
"So let me put colleges and
universities on notice: If you can't stop tuition from going up," he said, "the funding you get from taxpayers will go down."
He recommended extending the tuition tax credit, doubling the number of work-study jobs in the next five years and urged legislators to prevent the interest rates on student loans from doubling in July.

Misspelling of 'school' erased outside building
NEW YORK — An embarrassing misspelling of "school" is gone from the street outside a New York City school building.
Utility workers used heavy machinery to grind up the wrongly placed "H" and "C" in the "SHOCOL X-K" sign on

The words were created with industrial textured tape that permanently sticks to the asphalt.
The correction was made a day after the New York Post reported the spelling error.

'Berserk' bus driver kills nine
NEW DELHI — A bus driver mowed down pedestrians and rammed cars, scooters and food stalls in a rampage through crowded Indian streets Wednesday that killed nine people and injured more than two dozen.
Police chased the bus for an hour through the streets of the central city of Pune, with traffic officers firing on it in an attempt to stop it, before they managed to arrest the 30-year-old driver. He is being held on murder charges.
The licensed bus driver had driven his route as normal Tuesday, but on Wednesday morning jumped into another driver's bus and took off.
police said.
"He just went berserk," slamming into people, cars, school buses, scooters and vegetable stands, Pune Police Commissioner Meeran Borwankar said.
Pedestrians tried to flee, with some throwing children out of the way of the oncoming bus, she said.
"He went on ramming vehicles, hitting pedestrians. He was in such a dangerous mood." Borwankar said.
Food stalls were reduced to piles of squashed produce and broken beams, while at least 40 cars were crushed.
The injured were being treated in three hospitals.

Hungary's media freedom clipped
BRUSSELS — The head of a European Union advisory panel on Wednesday denounced the "extraordinary concentration" of power in the press under the leadership of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, saying it has undermined his nation's media freedom.
The official, former Latvia Prime Minister Vaire Vike Freiberga, said Wednesday that she believes "Hungary and its leaders would be wise to reconsider the laws and regulations that they have passed so as not to stand in contravention of various fundamental principles."
The criticism on media freedoms adds to the standoff between the EU and Hungary. The bioc already has launched legal proceedings against Hungary over the independence of the judiciary and the central bank.
Orban swept into power in 2010 and has used a two-thirds majority in parliament to change the political landscape to his liking and in a way that raised sharp criticism from the EU and the United States.
A key step in the centralization of power was a law that allows the party to influence reports in the state media.

President Barack Obama authorized the mission by SEAL Team 6 two days earlier, deploying the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden last year. Minutes after the president gave his State of the Union address to Congress he was on the phone with the American's father to tell him his daughter was safe.
The Danish Refugee Council

Task force will patrol parties this semester
LUKE RANKER
franker@kansan.com
Jen Jordan, director of prevention at Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, said she wasn't sure when the task force will begin patrolling parties or how they will pick parties. The task force has discussed using a tip hotline to help report large parties.
I'm going to change the way I do parties," Alex Schaul, a junior from Chicago, said. Schaul said he had originally considered requiring KU IDs at his parties but is now considering regular IDs.
The threat of the task force patrolling parties could reshape the way students hold social events.
The Kansas Department of Transportation Safety Resource Office awarded the task force a fourth grant to continue its efforts to lower underage drinking rates. The previous three semesters, the coalition comprised the Lawrence Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff, KU Police and the Kansas Department of Revenue's Alcohol Beverage Control Agency and patrolled mostly bars and tailgates.
"Students need to understand that

they are responsible for underage drinking in their house?" fordan said.
She said the task force will also focus more on education. Because bars change serving staffs often, the task force will provide an addition free program to educate liquor license holders.
Jordan said one of the best avenues for education might be focus groups with college students discussing better ways to prevent underage drinking.
Whether patrolling bars or parties, the task force isn't popular with some students.
"They need to chill out," Danny Madock, a freshman from Chicago, said. "Kids are going to drink anyway."
Norraine Wingfield, project director for the Kansas Transportation Safety Resource Office, said the Lawrence grant was cut from the usual $25,000 to $20,000 to accommodate federal spending cuts to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. She said she thought local departments might provide extra funding.
"Hopefully with time and community involvement the program will become self-sustaining." Wingfield said.

Joe Namath enters silver screen again
CELEBRITY
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Joe Namath, still the New York Jets' greatest quarterback after all these years, is the subject of a new profile airing Saturday on HBO. But Broadway Joe's TV appearances weren't limited to his on-field heroics. Take these five:
In the "Mail-Order Hero" episode, Bobby Brady (Mike Lookinland) lies to his friends that Namah is a family friend. So with help from Cindy (Susan Olsen), he fakes a serious illness to convince Namah to come to his house.
Namath starred in this short-lived (just three episodes aired) sitcom as Joe Casey, a failed pro basketball player now teaching history and coaching the girls' hoops team at a Wisconsin High School.

The European debt crisis made simple
INTERNATIONAL
I got randomly high-fived today by a stranger, coolest thing so far.
During the last several months, two separate media narratives have been playing out on both sides of the Atlantic. In the United States, the collective voice of the press has been focused on domestic issues and popular cultural absurdities such as the birth of Jay-Z and Beyonce's new baby, Blue Ivy Carter.
Meanwhile, the European media has been almost exclusively covering what has been called the greatest threat to Europe since 1945: the European Union Sovereign Debt Crisis. Even President Barack Obama has said that the European Union (EU) debt crisis is "the biggest headwind the American economy is facing right now." Despite this, it's fair to say that the majority of Americans do not understand the brewing economic crisis.
They should.
The crisis is the result of an ongoing attempt to unify the nations of Europe into a "United States of Europe" — a consolidated economic region able to compete with both the United States and China. Countries euro area are bound together in a monetary union, which means they share
All of this seems like a sensible attempt at international cooperation, but ignores one glaring fact: The nations of Europe have been waging war on another for the better part of the last 2000 years.
a common currency (the Euro) and a central bank (the European Central Bank).
Scars from this shared history cover the continent and factor into the economic, political and cultural realities of modern Europe. While nations are bound together by the decisions of a single central bank, each nation still controls its own budget and foreign policy. Most importantly, each clings to its national identity. As a result, a group of vastly different countries that tend to distrust one another have been forced into an intimate union. Put simply, it's the equivalent of forcing Kansas and Missouri to merge.
By Greg Loving
gloving@kansan.com
Normally, an independent country has several tools to prevent economic problems from occurring. These include using a combination of spending less money, asking others for help and printing more or less currency to support an alling economy.
However, the EU has married 17 countries with different fiscal and political regimes into a single monetary union. As a result, each EU nation has lost part of its ability to alleviate economic distress, because it cannot enact independent monetary policy. All 17 nations are now subject to the whims of the European Central Bank, which has been known to serve the needs of more powerful EU nations before those of the periphery.
European economic cooperation worked for a short time, but the 2008 global financial crisis reopened old wounds. Smaller EU economies (Greece, Ireland and Portugal) did not weather the crisis well and are now facing the prospect of a sovereign default (meaning that a country's debt is so large that it
no longer able to realistically pay it off). As a result, these weaker EU economies are asking the more powerful EU members, primarily Germany and France, for a bailout to avoid default. Understandably, these larger nations are hesitant to pay for the sins of their smaller neighbors.
A sovereign default has the potential to throw all of Europe and indeed the world into prolonged economic downturn.
If one of the troubled EU countries is allowed to default, any bank that holds a significant portion of that debt is also subject to fail. Because these large banks also happen to hold one another's debt, global banks could conceivably begin to fall like dominos if a single collapse occurred.
By definition, someone's debt is someone else's asset. Unfortunately for the global economic system, much of the bad debt in the EU is held by large multinational banks in Germany, France and the U.S.
The event would freeze global markets and bring about unprecedented economic calamity. This scenario is known as "financial contagion" because of its similarity
to the spread of an infectious disease in a global pandemic.
Given this unfortunate reality, it is important to understand that events happening halfway around the world can have a significant effect on our lives. The truth is, we no longer live in a world where all the solutions to our economic woes lie conveniently within our borders.
During the past several decades, the forces of globalization have made national economies and our lives more interdependent than ever before. At its core, this trend has been a powerful force for good, raising hundreds of millions around the world out of abject poverty and into a new global middle class.
However, it has also placed some uncomfortable pressure on developed countries, which have had their position of economic dominance for the past half-century challenged. As we continue the debate about how to heal our own economy, it would do us well to consider the global realities of our economic system.

To my future children
We didn't have iRain or iHubris when I was growing up. You kids have it easy since Apple learned to completely control Mother Nature. The winter of '12 was one of the toughest my generation of Kansans has ever endured. We had to trudge through sunlit days that got as cold as 40 degrees with wind-chill.
By Daniel Obermeier
bermeier@kansah.com
Little did we know, there was more than weather to dread. Like the descent of some primordial plague, the darkness of a storm descended over the soul of humanity. I know you kids will think your old man had been hittin' the bottle too hard again after you hear what he's going to tell you. On Jan. 18, we lost Wikipedia.
They say that when Google changed its logo to a black block, the moon turned to blood and cats and dogs began living together; mass hysteria, as predicted by the Mayans of old. Others say it was just overcast and slightly colder for a few days.
Only when you've escaped the darkness can you truly fear it, and not since I was a pre-teen, scouring the alcoves of my local library for information on Posh Spice (it was for a school report, I swear) have I felt so isolated and helpless. It was a desperate plea for help, but I didn't realize it at the time. There were shelves; endless shelves where ideas were not recycled, where research did not support the inane flight of mental fancy. Children, that the books wed been using for target practice would be pried open again was enough to send me back to that moment when my young tears had stained the wood of the archaic circulation desk.
For us college students, these were the darkest days since adults realized higher education could simultaneously be a money-making venture. With no Wikipedia, we had no way of accessing the esoteric yet
But I digress. Just like Pearl Harbor, the world changed indelibly for the worse, but unlike Pearl Harbor, this nightmare didn't star Ben Affleck. That was the digression.
diverting information we needed in a concise and meaningful format
We were in the darkest of dark ages, and it was only economical that we returned to our animalistic and base primordial instincts. We were forced to verbally communicate with one another. Only Facebook stood between us and our profoundly neglected, so-called, "real" lives. Can anyone blame us for what happened next? Sometimes chaos is the only logical option.
It was the dawn of the Great Depression. Unable to find a satisfactory answer to "what soap is made of" bored and with only my roommates for amusement, I drank myself to sleep that night.
When the bleak light of day broke my window the following morning, I sought to shield my eyes with a handy pillow. Upon discovering that the pillow was actually a live cat, I abandoned trying to return to the world of dreams and faced a world with information, once again, locked away in other parts of cyberspace.
And what did my wondering eyes behold when I opened my browser? There, glowing in effervescent light, with the radiance of paradise was the home page for Wikipedia. Against all odds, we had survived for 24 hours without it.
To ensure this catastrophe would never happen again, our generation unanimously voted for the Mandatory Information Act (M.I.A.), which is why Wikipedia is the only acceptable source of knowledge today.

Avoiding impulsive behavior
Learning to recognize impulsive behavior may help us make better and more rational decisions in the future
How likely are you to wait a year to get the $10? If you'd choose to redeem it at any value less than $10, you're engaging in the same irrational thinking that psychologists detect in gamblers and drug addicts.
"Delay Discounting" describes a decision of choosing smaller, sooner rewards rather than larger, later ones, and it's often associated with being impulsive. When you discount a future reward you are essentially ignoring its value to choose the smaller sooner reward. This behavioral habit can give us clues as to how we make daily decisions, and in understanding how a gambler and a drug addict behave, we can better understand why we make impulsive decisions.
Suppose the Kansan offered a voucher to the bookstore in today's paper that is worth $5 for the next week. However, this voucher is special. The longer you save it, the more valuable it becomes so that it will be worth $10 in one year.
Frequently, gamblers go to the casino with hundreds and, many times, thousands of dollars. If they simply invested this money, they'd have much higher dividends in the long run. But gamblers don't invest; they gamble because they can win small amounts of money immediately. This behavior isn't much different from choosing to go out and drink with friends instead of study for a big test.
Drug addicts also discount their future heavily in that they alter the real value of the long term consequence. They devalue the long-term effects of drug usage to feel the immediate reward. Interestingly, research in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment tells us that drug users are more impulsive in general

than non-drug users.
Many people discount the real value of later rewards. Some say it is an evolutionary trait that came about as humans responded to immediate dangers as opposed future ones. Regardless, some good examples of discounting are smoking cigarettes, not caring about littering and spending money now instead of reaping
"In the end, we don't behave at random. There are patterns of how we make decisions, no matter how irrational the response may seem."
the rewards of saving it. We act impulsively by acting on the immediate reward and not the one that can come with self-control (getting a good grade on the test, living a longer healthier life, and being in a better financial situation). Many of these behaviors wouldn't even be looked at as impulsive. Deciding to watch television instead of taking out the overflowing trash is an example.
KU Assistant Professor of Applied Behavioral Science Dr. Derek Reed studies discounting and emphasizes it in his research. His research suggests we all engage in some form of discounting, and that it's predictable that a mathematical equation explains your degree of
The upside is that the predictable nature of discounting permits ways to behaviorally intervene to encourage self-control. Dr. Reed's Center for Applied Behavioral Economics is presently measuring how discounting explains college students' risk-seeking behaviors (including gambling), as well as the ways in which discounting underlies students' tendencies to be "green" on campus (recycling versus littering).
What Dr. Reed's and others' research suggests is that knowledge is power. One study in the Journal of Applied Behavioral Economics showed that with training, five pathological gamblers not only discounted future decisions less, but past decisions they made as well. We all discount some, because it is a common behavioral trait. But even knowing that such a term exists may serve to help you realize when you're being impulsive. Try to think about decisions you make on a daily, weekly, monthly basis and how you allocate your responses. What patterns or tendencies do you notice?
In the end we don't behave at random. There are patterns of how we make decisions, no matter how irrational the response may seem. While it may seem pessimistic to recognize that irrationality and impulsivity are common in most of our decisions, understanding the lawful nature of these behaviors increases our knowledge and begins starts the process of promoting self-control.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Efficiency continues to be the buzz word around Carolyn Davis and that continued on Wednesday when she scored the Big 12 season high with 24 points. Davis finished 17 of 24 from the field including making her final seven shots of the game. The surprising part about tonight was that she only shot one free throw attempt. Even though Davis was impressive she was still four points off her career-high 38 points.

Natalie Knight, freshman guard
Battling a cold for most of the week, the steady freshman guard tried to give her best effort against Texas Tech. However, it was one of her more underhelping performances of the year, drawing three fouls throughout the game and ending with only two points, three assists and four rebounds.

Texas Tech's Red Raiders coach Kristy Curry also pointed out that defending the home court is the most important factor in the Big 12.

Checking in with some Jayhawks in the NBA
MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
- Far removed from the Legends of the Phog, a spectacle of nostalgia and clutch shooting at Allen Fieldhouse.
and the lockout, a temporarily mended disagreement, the NBA finds itself one month away All-Star weekend. Here's a quick look at some Jayhawks who are still going strong in the league.
Brandon Rush, guard
Golden State Warriors
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rush has been one of the first options off the bench for first-year coach Mark Jackson. He's hitting 54.5 percent of his three-point shots this season, second only to Boston Celtics guard Ray Allen, the all-time leader from behind the arc.
Best game of the season: 92-78 victory vs. New York Knicks on Dec. 28
19 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Paul Pierce, guard Boston Celtics
Pierce has endured the slowest start in Boston since Allen and forward Kevin Garnett came to town. The Celtics are just 7-9 and four and a half games behind the 76ers for the Atlantic Division lead. Regardless, Pierce has proven that he's still got something left at age 34. His 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game speak to his well-rounded abilities.
Best game of the season: 100-92
Best game of the season: 100-94 victory at Washington Wizards on Jan. 22 34 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, three steals, 12-15 free throws

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Morris has found a comfy spot in the rotation for the Suns, a team trying to both rebuild and cling to folk-hero point guard and ticket-seller Steve Nash. Morris works well with Nash because of his ability to spread the floor with his outside shooting.
He has been big part of a needed rebounding force for a thin front court. He's 10th among all rookies with 21.2 minutes per game.
Best game of the season: 109-93 victory against Milwaukee on Jan. 8.

Nick Collison, forward
Oklahoma City Thunder
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Collison joins fast-rising guard James Harden as a cog of one of the best second units in the NBA. The Thunder have the second best record in the league, and while Harden, forward Kevin Durant and guard Russell Westbrook are the primary reasons, role players like Collison do the dirty work that doesn't always show up in box scores but carries contenders.

Chalmers has the fourth most favorable plus/minus rating in the NBA, which shows how much of difference he makes when in the game. He's not at the helm of the Heat, but he's also the fourth option on the title favorite, averaging 11.6 points and 4.4 assists per game. Best game

KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
With the departure of Tyreir Reed and Brady Morningstar and the ineligibility of freshman guard Ben McLemore, the three-point shooting threats for Kansas entering this season were noticeably thin. The team seemed to count on senior guard Conner Teahan and junior guard Elijah Johnson to knock down jump shots and open up the floor for junior center Jeff Withey and junior forward Thomas Robinson. Even with a 17-3 record and a No.5 ranking in the latest polls, the three-point shooting has been off and on for most the season. And lately, it's been mostly off.
- "We're just shooting the ball so bad," coach Bill Self said after defeating Texas A&M Monday. "I mean,
In the 64-54 victory against the Aggies, Kansas was 4-for-20 from beyond the three-point line. In seven Big 12 games, the Jayhawks

good gosh. If it's not for Tyshawn here of late, who's making shots?"
"That's the coaches fault if they're shooting the shot you want and they don't go in," Self said. "And that's basically what they're doing for the most part."

BILL SELF Coach
Johnson has strug-

28.8 per-

beyond the
arc with 111
attempts.
He's had a few great nights from deep, including a 4-for-8 performance in the UCLA victory in the Maui Invitational as well as a 5-for-7 afternoon against Ohio State last month. But as of late he's struggled to connect on a consistent basis,
sinking more than one three-pointer on just one occasion in Big 12 play as well as an 0-for-6 performance against Texas A&M.
"I thought Elijah went kind of haywire, brain dead in the first half with a couple he clipped off" Self said. "But for the most part, those are shots we want to take."
With the somewhat surprising three-point efficiency from Taylor and the All-American season from Thomas Robinson, the shooting difficulties haven't proved too costly yet.
"We're better shooters than that," Self said. "Conner and Elijah are good shooters, we're just not making them right now."

THE MORNING BREW Predicting 2012 Heisman candidates
It's college football's baby. It's the gold standard of trophies. And it is, perhaps, the most coveted trophy in sports. It is the Heisman Trophy, and it currently sits in Waco, Texas.
In retrospect, it's easy to see that Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III was a perfect candidate to take home the 2011 Heisman Trophy. But before the season started, names like Andrew Luck and Landry Jones dominated preseason Heisman Trophy watch lists over Griffin.
By Mike Vernon
mvernon@kansan.com
It's pointless to try to predict who will take home the Heisman before any games have been played. It's even more pointless to try to do so before any spring practices have started.
But it's fun, and that's why I'm going to try to predict the Heisman finalists and order for the 2012 season. Let the fun begin.
5. COLLIN KLEIN, QUARTERBACK;
KANSAS STATE
If the Wildcats have any kind of repeat performance of their 10-victory 2011 season, Klein's name will be basking in some Heisman love. The man ran for 27 touchdowns last season and threw 13 more.
Heisman voters and college football
fans alike drol when they see dual-threat numbers like Klein's, and if he can do it again, he could easily find himself in New York City as a candidate to win the 2012 Heisman Trophy.
4. MARCUS LATTIMORE, RUNNING BACK, SOUTH CAROLINA
Name-factor matters, and this is where Lattimore gets his preseason points. He's a recognizable name and a potentially strong story as he returns from a seasonending injury. Lattimore is a powerful running back who had 818 rushing yards with 10 touchdowns before tearing a ligament in his knee.
If Lattimore can stay healthy and return to his 2011 form, he will get
plenty of airtime and could subsequently find himself competing for the Heisman Trophy.
3. MATT BARKLEY, QUARTERBACK, USC
Being the perennial Heisman favorite can come back to bite a player in the butt. Just ask Andrew Luck. Barkley enters the season with atmospheric expectations that USC and Lane Kiffin may not be able to back up.
The result: A strong season from Barkley, but anything short of a BCS bowl appearance — and possibly a spot in the national championship game — automatically disqualifies him from taking home the Heisman.
Quite simply, expectations are just too high for Barkley to live up to.
2. MONTEE BALL, RUNNING BACK,
WISCONSIN
Ball finished fourth in the Heisman voting last season and had quite a case to finish even higher. He ran for 1,923 yards and an eye-popping 33 touchdowns to land himself in Heisman contention.
KU
But just like Barkley, Ball could suffer from high expectations set by himself. If he can repeat his 2011 numbers,
he'll without a doubt find himself at the Heisman Trophy ceremony, but if his numbers fall short, Ball could be forgotten in the numbers race that is the Heisman Trophy candidacy.
1. DENARD ROBINSON, MICHIGAN
If history can help predict the future, it says Denard Robinson is the man to take home the Heisman Trophy in 2012. Four of the last six trophy winners have been mobile quarterbacks like Robinson.
If Michigan takes the Big 10 crown, or makes any run at another BCS game, Robinson will feel the love. A program like Michigan could catch the nation's eyes and land firmly in an ESPN media storm. If the scenario plays out, Robinson takes home the Heisman and cements himself as a Michigan football legend.

Charges against Berglund dropped
Colorado prosecutors have dismissed former Kansas quarterback Brock Berelund's assault charge.
according to the Associated Press
The misdemeanor charge kept Berglund from practicing with the Jayhawks last season.
Berglund
M.
A spokeswoman for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's office told
He was required to pay $2,935 in restitution, complete community service and take a conflict management class.
the Associated Press Wednesday that Berglund was given differed prosecution and he fulfilled those terms, which were approved by the alleged victim.
Berglund has been dismissed by the team, but not released from his scholarship. He will be meeting with the University's student-athlete appeals board to gain his release from the Jayhawks.

Penn State scandal prompts legislation
HARTFORD. Conn. The child sexual abuse scandal at Penn State University has prompted state lawmakers across the nation to take another look at laws designed to protect children and punish child predators.
At least 12 states are considering mandatory reporting legislation this year, according to the National Conference of
State Legislatures, and more are expected to craft bills as their sessions get into full swing.
In addition to measures to improve the reporting of suspected child sex abuse, bills have been drafted across the country that would increase or even eliminate the statutes of limitations for bringing criminal or civil cases against alleged abusers.
"The alleged incidents at
Penn State I think awakened something in our national consciousness about protecting our kids," said Mike Feuer, a California assemblyman and chairman of that legislature's Judiciary Committee.
Feuer, a Los Angeles Democrat, is sponsoring a bill that would have employees at universities added to the list of mandated reporters in his state. Forty-eight states currently require at least some
professionals to immediately report knowledge or suspicion of child sexual abuse to some authority, according to the NCSL Eighteen of those states require every adult to be a mandated reporter.
Advocates for abuse victims are pushing hard for legislation to be passed this year, recognizing that the Penn State scandal presents an opportunity to cut through the government's red tape.
"It is a mobilization time. But just as important, it is a public information time," said Jim Hmurovich, chief executive of Prevent Child Abuse America. "We need to get the message out that sex offender registries and treatment services for victims and mandatory reporting requirements are important, but they're not the whole picture."

Defense needs to show up
By C.J. Matson
cjmatson@kansan.com
The rugged road through the Big 12 conference schedule has been a smooth ride for the Jayhaws with a few bumps along the way.
The Jayhawks' narrow victory against the Longhorns in Austin and their ugly victory against the Aggies in Lawrence were reminders that winning the conference championship won't come easy. As fans anticipate upcoming showdowns against Missouri and Baylor, overlooking the Cyclones would be a serious mistake.
The Cyclones, led by coach Fred Hoiberg, are the surprise team of the Big 12. They have climbed to the top of the standings, despite being picked by coaches to finish eighth in the Big 12 preseason poll.
On Saturday, the Jayhaws face the Cyclones in Ames for the second of their two matchups this season.
In their first matchup in Lawrence, the Cyclones put up a fight and led by 12 points early in the second half. They also won the rebounding battle 46-38, which is impressive, considering the Jayhawks are the top rebounding team in the Big 12 (conference games only).
Iowa State forward and big 12 newcomer-of-the-year candidate Royce White, a transfer from Minnesota, is a major reason why the Cyclones are surging. In the first matchup, White scored 18 points, collected 17 rebounds, recorded four assists and blocked two shots.
In conference games only, White is T-15th in scoring, second in rebounding, sixth in field goal percentage, fourth in assists, T-14th in steals and T-15th in blocks. He can play any position on the court and is a matchup nightmare for opponents.
Defending White will be the biggest challenge for the Jayhawks, especially Jeff Withey and Thomas Robinson, who will be guarding him throughout the game. Staying away from foul trouble is imperative for Withey and Robinson because their front-court bench players, Justin Wesley and Kevin Young, won't be able to contain White.
A problem area on defense for the Jayhawks is defending the perimeter, particularly the three-point line. Led by Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Tyrus McGee, Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-point field goals. White is also capable of knocking down three-pointers. This season, the Jayhawks have struggled with blocking three-point shots. Big 12 opponents have shot 122 three-point shots against the Jayhawks, which is the most in the conference.
For a team that has very thin depth and must count on their starters both offensively and defensively, the Jayhawks have little room for error.
The Cyclones are hungry to prove they belong amongst the Big 12's elite as well as in the NCAA Tournament field, so the Jayhawks should be prepared for the challenge.

Coach Bonnie Henrickson tossed last year's stat sheet across her desk to Carolyn Davis. There were squares around stats - the only marks on the paper.
"Here's me - squares are bad, circles are good," Henrickson said.
Davis, who had just five shots against Texas Tech last year, handed the paper back.
"I gotcha."
This time, Davis kept her promise amassing 20 points before halftime and a season-high 34 for the game off 24 shots.
"That is a big circle," Henrickson said.
In just 29 minutes Davis dominated the paint without a challenge from Texas Tech senior forward Kierra Mallard who missed the trip with an undisclosed injury. She shot 17-of-24 for the game and a perfect 7-of-7 in the second half. Her 34 points were also season-high for the Big 12 Conference.
"You don't score 30 points a lot in our league and to do that against a great Texas Tech ranked team is a big accomplishment," Davis said.
The Jayhawks built an early lead and never gave it up. Behind Davis the Jayhawkes defeated No. 21 Texas Tech 62-43 marking their second win over a ranked team this season.
"We have a great team this year and we are ready to beat any ranked team that comes to us," senior forward Aishah Sutherland said. "We have the talent that can make us go far."
The Jayhawks opened the game on an 8-0 run, and by the first media timeout, Kansas built a 10-2 lead. Monica Engelman hit two free throws and a jumper to start the Kansas offense, which shot 47.5 percent from the field for the game. The Jayhawks stifled the Texas Tech offense and held them to only 29.7 percent shooting from the field.
Aishah Sutherland was the only other Jayhawks to reach double figures with 10 points. She added a game-high six blocks. This is the latest in a string of good games from Sutherland who is currently second in program history in blocks and broke into the top ten in rebounds.
Sutherland was honored before the game with a game ball to recognize her becoming the 24th Jayhawk to surpass 1,000 career points one game ago against Texas A&M.
"She realizes, 'Hey, I need to do my job' and there is more focus and attention to detail than she has had in her career," Hendrickson said.
The guards kept the ball moving to Sutherland and Davis in the post with 19 assists on the 29 Kansas baskets. Angel Goodrich led the team with nine assists. Goodrich entered the game leading the nation with 7.7 assists per game.
Kansas advanced to 16-3 on the season and 5-2 in Big 12 play with the win. This is the best conference start since 1999-2000. This was also Henrickson's first career win over Texas Tech in nine tries.
"I think it's really big for where we're at right now and what we're trying to be," Davis said. "We're second in the conference, we're trying to get into the Top 25 and wins like this will only help us."
The Jayhawks will face their biggest challenge at 7 p.m. on Saturday in Waco when they face No.1 Baylor.

"To walk in the door and have a guy who carries himself the way Dayne does is good for everyone on the team." Weis said. "Plus, he's a resource for these guys to know who I am."
Crist was a five-star recruit.
according to rivals.com, and committed to Notre Dame and Weis his junior year of high school. Weis would only be around two years with Crist before he was fired in 2009.
After redshirting a year and serving as Jimmy Clausen's backup in 2009, Crist became the starter for the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started nine games and threw for 2033 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions before a ruptured left patella tendon ended his season.
"I feel so much more comfortable doing the things Coach Weis asks me to do," Crist said. "That's why I committed to him the first time at Notre Dame."
In 2011, Crist won the starting job but was benched after completing seven of 15 pass attempts in the first half of the season opener.
"I don't think you can look at anything that has happened with
Dayne Crist in the past two years," Weis said. "As far as I'm concerned, it's null and void. I knew what I had two years ago when I left there, and I'm fired up to have him now."
At Kansas, Crist is able to play immediately because he still had one year of eligibility when he graduated from Notre Dame.
It is the same NCAA rule that allowed quarterback Russell Wilson to play immediately for Wisconsin last season, where he led them a berth in the Rose Bowl.
Crist's narrowed his decision to Wisconsin and Kansas before choosing Kansas. Weis's relationship with Crist was a factor in his decision.
"When I started thinking about leaving and taking my fifth year elsewhere, he was the first person I called," Crist said. "He was always supportive first and never gave biased answers."
He really had my best interest in mind at all times"
Crist will only be able to play at Kansas for one season, but he hopes his effect can last longer than that. The football program will try to recover from a stretch where it has lost 26 of its last 29 games, including its last 12 conference games.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE
{From the Editor}
PLEASE REQUEST ADDITIONAL TEXT HERE.
I'm a cynic when it comes to media technology, though a bit of a hypocritical one. I worry about my generation's obsession with the latest cell phones and devices, social networking, and the need to be constantly connected to the media world. I've got a Facebook and email I check daily, but a Twitter that I never use. My cell phone's capabilities peak at sending texts and taking photos. There's been plenty of times I'd have welcomed a technological disconnect with open arms. The commercials and negatively-charged comments on TV during the presidential race are enough to convince me to keep the television off to avoid the political noise. Rick Perry's ad "Strong," where he defends celebrating Christmas in public schools and keeping gays out of the military, made me want to bury my head in a politically-ignorant hole in the sand.
Last year I saw one of my favorite bands, the Pixies, in concert. I was in a state of wide-eyed thrill, absorbing every ounce of energy they exuded.
only to be shocked to see people of all ages with their heads down, fingers flying at 4G speeds, texting and Tweeting away on their cell phones. I just imagined them texting a friend, "Dude, I'm seeing the Pixies right now!" No, you're not, dude. You're staring at your cell phone. I wanted to throw each person's phone on the ground and stomp it to bits, and then yell "Live in the now!" right in their startled faces.
It's easy to pick and choose which technologies to use and when to use them, but what would our lives be like void of all the media that swarms us every day? Amanda's story on page 12 looks into students' struggles getting through one day without any media Internet, books, newspapers, laptops cell phones, iPods or radios—and how our need to be connected to media affects our brains.
I know that I'd fail a media fast, even if it only lasted 24 hours. I'd have no way to be in contact with the Jayplay staff, or produce the issue. I'd even be barred from reading it. But I also know that if the Pixies ever return to the Lawrence or Kansas City area, all the technologically-distracted fans better keep a sharp eye on their phones.

LOVE
The Hookup
DEAR MIGNELLE
I have only had sex about five times and I have two questions.
One: why haven't I had an orgasm yet?
My boyfriend is not well endowed, with a potato sized penis. I do feel something, but I haven't climaxed.
Two: When will it stop hurting when he goes in? It definitely doesn't hurt as bad, but it still hurts for the first couple of thrusts. Please help me!
-Pain with Penetration
DEAR PWP.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: inexperience leads to apprehension. Your inability to orgasm and the pain you experience during penetration may be the result of inexperience, on both sides.
You mention your boyfriend is not well-endowed and I think you have the impression a large penis is necessary for female orgasm. If you read last week's column, you would understand the average male is 5 to 7 inches erect. Coincidentally, the average depth of a female is around $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches. For one reason or another, males and females seem to "fit."
Now, you also mention, although not long, he has what you describe as a "potato." Am I to assume you mean the penis is short and thick? A large girth may be one factor contributing to the pain you're experiencing. Large girth coupled with a lack of lubrication can most certainly cause uncomfortable, even painful, penetration.
I would suggest you start by exploring your own body. Take an hour to yourself, lay on your bed, find a stimulating song or movie, and touch yourself. Only by knowing your own body will you be able to give direction to your partner. Caress your skin, nipples, labia, and outer vagina. Gauge how quickly you become lubricated. At this point, you might want to use either your fingers or toy internally. If you're finding difficulty in achieving arousal, take a break, regroup, and try this exercise another time. Don't put pressure on yourself to experience intense orgasms every time you either masturbate or have sex with your partner. The brain is the most powerful organ for sexual satisfaction. Finding a calm and inner peace will allow you to open up to the experience of pleasure.
So, here's what you can do with your partner. After discovering how you can stimulate yourself, allow him to put on his safari hat and do some exploring on his
own. Encourage him to caress, kiss, and lick your body. Practice extended foreplay and oral sex. Do everything but penetration! Gauge how quickly you become lubricated. Hopefully, you will find an increase in lubrication, as well as promote relaxation and enjoyment.
Finally, I always recommend keeping lubrication on hand (water-based, silicone, flavored, etc.), as well as a few sex toys for experimentation and variety. Sex is meant to be enjoyed, but learning about your body and its needs is the first step.

A problem area on defense for the Jayhawks is defending the perimeter, particularly the three-point line. Led by Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Tyrus McGee, Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-point field goals. White is also capable of knocking down three-pointers. This season, the Jayhawks have struggled with blocking three-point shots. Big 12 opponents have shot 122 three-point shots against the Jayhawks, which is the most in the conference.
The Cyclones are hungry to prove they belong amongst the Big 12's elite as well as in the NCAA Tournament field, so the Jayhawks should be prepared for the challenge.
For a team that has very thin depth and must count on their starters both offensively and defensively, the Jayhawks have little room for error.

be reunited with the coach who recruited him to Notre Dame, Charlie Weis.
Crist was a five-star recruit.
according to rivals.com, and committed to Notre Dame and Weis his junior year of high school. Weis would only be around two years with Crist before he was fired in 2009.
"I feel so much more comfortable doing the things Coach Weis asks me to do," Crist said. "That's why I committed to him the first time at Notre Dame."
After redshirting a year and serving as Jimmy Clausen's backup in 2009, Crist became the starter for the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started nine games and threw for 2033 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions before a ruptured left patella tendon ended his season.
In 2011, Crist won the starting job but was benched after completing seven of 15 pass attempts in the first half of the season opener.
"I don't think you can look at anything that has happened with
Dayne Crist in the past two years," Weis said, "As far as I'm concerned, it's null and void. I knew what I had two years ago when I left there, and I'm fired up to have him now."
At Kansas, Crist is able to play immediately because he still had one year of eligibility when he graduated from Notre Dame.
It is the same NCAA rule that allowed quarterback Russell Wilson to play immediately for Wisconsin last season, where he led them a berth in the Rose Bowl.
"When I started thinking about leaving and taking my fifth year elsewhere, he was the first person I called." Crist said. "He was always supportive first and never gave biased answers."
Crist's narrowed his decision to Wisconsin and Kansas before choosing Kansas. Weis's relationship with Crist was a factor in his decision.
He really had my best interest in mind at all times"
Crist will only be able to play at Kansas for one season, but he hopes his effect can last longer than that. The football program will try to recover from a stretch where it has lost 26 of its last 29 games, including its last 12 conference games.
"Kansas fans should be really excited because Dayne Crist is a
motivated guy," sophomore quarterback Jake Heaps said. "He's a great worker and a great teammate, so he's going to be huge for this program in moving it forward."

EVEN WHEN MILES APART. COUPLES CAN STILL MAKE RELATIONSHIPS WORK
After being on campus all day and having their faces crammed in books, some couples enjoy cuddling up next to each other and watching a movie or just talking. However, there are some couples that don't have this luxury.
About 4.5 million unmarried college students are in long-distance relationships, according to the Center for the Study of Long-Distance Relationships. Not seeing or even talking to your partner regularly requires more effort for couples to keep their relationships afloat. Keeping long-distance relationships alive requires couples to work hard and follow certain tips.
Kirsten Oelklaus, therapist at Insight Counseling, LLC in Overland Park, thinks couples in long-distance relationships need to focus on fostering connection in their relationships. She says the
way to do this is by "still making that person a priority in your life when that person isn't in front of you."
Kelsie Fiss, sophomore from Prairie Village, and her boyfriend Tom Wegener, sophomore at the University of Missouri, have been together for almost one year. Even though they are both very busy and sometimes only have time to talk on the phone once a week, Fiss says their relationship works because of the amount of trust and discipline both of them have in each other.
Fiss says it is hard because in long-distance relationships couples don't get to experience little things in the everyday life of their partner. "Since we're far apart and college is a big part of peoples' lives, we don't get to share the little life experiences that people who are together take for granted."
Oelklaus says since that person isn't there to experience life with you,it's important to fill your partner in on the details of your everyday life.
Even though Fiss and Wegener don't have phone conversations everyday, they check in with each other every night, even if it's just through texting. She is willing to put in the extra effort because she says she enjoys talking to Wegener at the end of each day. "He is someone I can trust and that understands me," Fiss says.
Trust is an important part of long-distance relationships. Hillary Lawrence, junior from Andover, was in a long-distance relationship her freshman year with a guy who lived in Andover, more than two hours from Lawrence. This relationship lasted for more than a year, but Lawrence later found out that her boyfriend had been cheating on her for about half of the relationship. "After that, there was a lack of trust. He was so far away. Even though he said he wouldn't do it again, how could I verify it since I wasn't there?" Lawrence says.
Lack of trust is one reason that long-distance relationships are not right for everybody, Oelklaus says. "Some people have unresolved trust issues or have difficulties with expressing emotions and communicating. Until those are resolved it could negatively impact the relationship."
Communication is vital in any relationship. In standard relationships, when there are problems, couples can just resolve them when they see each other. But, in long-distance relationships, couples can't do that. Oelklaus says these couples need to make time to resolve issues. "It's important to resolve the small problems before they get big."
If you are trying to decide if a long-distance relationship could work for you, Oelklaus says there are some questions you should ask yourself: First, do I
like this person? Is this person important enough for me to try this? Am I willing to do the extra work it takes to make sure the relationship is good and healthy?
Wartime Romance In 2011, the military divorce rate was 3.7 percent, the highest it has been since 1999, according to USA Today. Spc. Tim Strandquist and his now-wife Teresa, who lived in Dallas, made their relationship work while he was deployed in Africa. Tim says it was difficult because he didn't get to be there for Teresa's graduation from college. "The difference between a military deployment and a regular long-distance relationship is that you can't just leave wherever you are and quit to go see the other person." Tim says.
Tim says it was important for him to remember things Teresa had previously told him. If she had told him before that she was going to a party, he had to remember to ask her about that next time. Teresa says the hardest part for her was not being able to talk to or see Tim whenever she had a problem. Even though she had a hard time with this, Teresa says writing was the best thing for her to stay connected to Tim. "If I really wanted to tell him something, I'd jot it down so I wouldn't forget." Teresa says.
These are some of the techniques this couple used to stay connected. They are now expecting a baby, which Tim says will make his next deployment difficult, but they will still make it work.

"I wasn't meeting people," she said. "I was kind of going through people withdrawals."
Determined to overcome her situation she turned to the Internet. Jankord began to scour through blogs and websites in search of a solution to her problem. Her search first brought her to the 365 Project, an initiative in which participants take one photograph each day for an entire year.
"A lot of people I knew were doing the 365 Project so I decided to do something more original," she said.
Relentlessly, she continued to search until finally she came across something that was new to her and grabbed her attention.
Unlike the 365 Project, 100 Strangers is a project that requires socialization. The first objective of
class," Jankord said. "An elderly couple that I met by Potter Lake told me their life story."
The second half of the project is taking the photo (with permission) of the strangers who shared their story. While meeting new people and collecting the stories of strangers was appealing to Jankord, it was the second half of the project that intrigued her most of all.
She had hoped to be admitted to the School of the Arts to study photography, but was declined.100 Strangers became an opportunity for her to pursue her love of art as well as to build confidence and overcome the difficulties of meeting new people.
"This project stood out to me because I wanted to do something that involved photography," Jankord said.
Setting out and onto campus
Often times it is this fear of rejection that stunts our bravery and keeps us from meeting new people. Overcoming her nerves, Jankord has continued to collect strangers and has now documented the photographs and stories of nearly twenty strangers.
She remembers not being very nervous in the beginning.
"I think what she's doing is pretty courageous, daring," Teron Gaumer said after sharing a story with lankord and becoming one of her strangers.
"It was when I got my first rejection that I first got nervous," she said.

Celebrity Dish: Catching up with Mario Little STARS SHARE, FOR BETTER OR WORSE.
C
Former KU basketball player Mario Little graduated in 2011 and is now playing basketball in Ukraine for Dnipro-Azot, a team in Ukraine's top professional league. Although it was a big
move for Mario, he is working hard with his new team, showcasing all of the skills and abilities he gained during his time as a Jayhawk.
WHAT IS LIVING IN UKRAINE LIKE COMPARED TO AMERICA?
Ukraine is better now that I'm getting used to it. It is a lot different from America, just for the simple fact that they don't speak English. The girls over here are really high fashion though, more so than American girls, I'll give them that much. I like it over here so far but there's no place like home!
HOW IS PLAYING BASKETBALL THERE DIFFERENT THAN HERE AT KU?
First of all there is nowhere like Allen
Fieldhouse. But playing over here is okay. The fans are into the game and they love the Americans over here. I can play my natural position and I have the freedom to do what I want, so that's a blessing.
WAS A HARD ADJUSTMENT TO MOVE AWAY FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS?
Anytime you're leaving loved ones it's a hard process, but I'm a big boy. I adjust to anything.
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU LEARNED FROM THE KU COACHING STAFF THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO TAKE AWAY WITH YOU?
I've learned so much from the coaching staff on and off the court. Since basketball isn't really big in Ukraine, I find myself having to help the guys out a lot over here with being in the right spot on defense and how to get open and so much other stuff. I even gotta help the coaches.
DO YOU KEEP IN CONTACT WITH ALL THE KU BASKETBALL PLAYERS?
Of course I keep up with my guys! I talk to most of them via Facebook, Skype or Twitter. I probably miss my twins the most since I just left and saw the rest of the guys right before Christmas break.
WHAT ARE THE GUYS LIKE ON YOUR NEW TEAM IN UKRAINE?
I've actually been blessed enough to be on a team with four Americans. Two of them are from Chicago and the other one is friends with the Morris twins. The other guys are cool too.
WHAT'S SOME ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE PEOPLE
ABOUT MOVING SOMEWHERE NEW, STARTING
OVER AND MEETING NEW PEOPLE?
Just to be optimistic and be ready for change. Don't be afraid to open your eyes to other things.

SUCCESSFUL COUPLES SHARE THEIR SECRETs.
// SASHA LUND
The minute Rachel Buoye, a sophomore from Rochester, New York, set eyes on Karsten Erdman, a sophomore from St. Louis, she knew he was different. They met in August 2010 in a mutual friend's dorm room in Templin Hall. "I knew right off the bat that he was a good guy. I didn't date in high school, but I was attracted to him right away, which was different," Rachel says. Buoye and Erdman hung out for about a month when she started wondering why he hadn't asked her out yet. Finally, after a mutual friend asked if they were dating, he made the move, and they
have been dating ever since. After almost a year and a half together, the couple knows the key to happiness is not taking each other for granted even when things get stressful.
DATING TIP: Don't take each other for granted, especially when things get busy and stressful. Learn to appreciate the little things that you do for each other.
It's all about the little things for Rachel and Karsten. Karsten, an architecture major, frequently spends long nights in the studio,and Rachel always makes sure to bring
him something warm to eat. "I worry about him," Rachel says, "so I cook for him a lot." Appreciating each other is what keeps the two from fighting, and despite being busy, they always make time for each other. Rachel says cherishing the little things and not taking things to seriously is the key to their

Overcoming the Winter Blues
Exercise and other home remedies can help alleviate symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Watkins Health Center nurse Melody Volek says these tips might help with Seasonal Affective Disorder:
Parking farther away from a building to walk. This has been proven to reduce stress, Melody Volek says.
Opening blinds in the morning when you wake up
Study next to a window
Make exercise fun by doing an exercise video series
Eating balanced meals on a regular basis
Talk with a doctor if the depression interferes with daily activities
It's the beginning of a new year and resolutions of becoming fit after the holiday season are set. But the reality of school, jobs, homework and the freezing temperatures eat at our resolves of what the new year could bring. The winter blues begin to set in. Loss of energy, insomnia, lack of concentration, increased stress, craving carbohydrates and weight gain can all be minor symptoms of the winter blues, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), says Melody Volek, a nurse at Watkins Health Center.
According to a 2008 American College Health Association survey, reported by the American Psychiatric Association, 30 percent of students report feeling dehabilitating depression throughout the year. Seasonal Affective Disorder affects about 6 percent of the U.S. population, young adults and women being at higher risk, according to a study from Penn State Behrend College.
Medical experts agree that exercise and daily physical activity is one of several home remedies that can help students overcome the winter blues. The hopeful goals of a new year can still be met by taking care of yourself mentally and physically.
Cherae Clark, a senior from Kansas City, Kan. and certified personal trainer at Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center, exercises four to five times a week. Working out in the morning helps Clark get a jump-start on her day, boost her mood and fit exercise into her daily schedule. "For me it's a mind-set thing. I notice that I get really grumpy and less focused. I just feel better when I exercise," Clark says.
Shortening of daylight in the winter months can disrupt biological clocks, as well as serotonin and melatonin levels in the human body. Daily exercise helps reset the natural time clock, Volek says.
Exercise is the most powerful element that you can incorporate into your daily lifestyle to help with mood, says Katie Sharp, a second-year Ph.D. student in clinical psychology from Omaha, Neb. "Exercise will definitely help. If you have Seasonal Affective Disorder, it is also important that you do light therapy."
Other benefits of daily physical exercise can include, better lifestyle functions, disease prevention, promotion of positive self-image and help people be more in control of their time management, says Amber Long, fitness coordinator at the Recreation Center.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends exercising every day for about an hour.
However, it can be challenging for students to find the time to work out daily. Amber Long says that making it a part of your daily routine can help make time. Shorter daily amounts of exercise, such as 30 minutes, can be positive in terms of being more productive in other parts of the day. Other challenges exist as well.
"There is a certain intimidation factor at the Rec. Like you can't go to the Rec because you don't look like a fitness model. It is really for everyone who wants to do exercise," Clark says.
Putting fears and excuses aside, finding help to create a personal daily exercise routine can be easy. As a certified personal trainer, Clark helps clients develop workout routines to help meet students' goals. Clark says not to be scared to come in and talk to staff.
Students can sign up for a personal trainer through the KU Rec Administrative Office and obtain a KU Fit Pass for $50. With the KU Fit Pass, students are also given over 50 classes to choose from to help with exercise routines.
If students are finding more severe symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder, such as finding it difficult to get through daily activities or experiencing regular depression, they can call the Watkins Nurse Helpline or go online to Watkins website and set up an appointment. Watkins Health Center is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you are a full time student, one office visit is already covered in semester student fees
With the winter blues hanging on for the next couple of months, make sure to start incorporating physical activity into your schedule now. Start off slow with a 30-minute daily physical exercise routine and build up as your body gets stronger, Clark says. Your mood with thank you.

"You're helping students graduate from high school so that they can maybe go to college, which they might not have been able to [do] before. You are actually making a difference in someone's life, which is great." Lester says. Lifeline provides the opportunity for KU students to connect with each other through event planning and also to connect with the Lawrence community.

Anschutz Learning Studio: Sunday 2-5pm Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm Friday 9am-3pm.
Watson Library:
Sunday-Thursday 6-9pm. For complete hours and locations, see the Writing Center's website.
Before your writing assignments stress you out this semester, consider getting help at the KU Writing Center. With help from its peer editors, you can be confident in your work. To get started, make an appointment online at writing. ku.edu. "Read through your paper at least once before you come in," says editor Bridget Lamb, a senior from Exton, Pa., so you know what you want from the consultation. It's important to have a goal for your editing session, says editor Charlotte Davis, a junior from Overland Park. Be able to tell the editors which areas of your paper need improvement. Keep in mind that the Writing Center editors are there to help with the content and flow of your paper, not mechanics.
Be prepared to spend 30-45 minutes in your consultation, depending on the length of your paper. Go in with a good attitude, ready to make progress. Be active in the editing process, and don't expect the editor to rewrite your paper for you.
If you don't have time in your schedule for a face-to-face appointment, you can email papers to the KU Writing Center. You should receive feedback within three school days. Though the Writing Center does not guarantee grade improvement, one student received the ultimate benefit from his consultation. "It turned my mediocre paper into an A," says Bryan Do, a junior from Wichita. "I was very glad I visited." Having someone else read your paper can be extremely beneficial. The editors at the Writing Center are available to do that, at no cost to students.

A problem area on defense for the jayhawks is defending the perimeter, particularly the three-point line. Led by Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Tyrus McGee, Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-point field goals. White is also capable of knocking down three-pointers. This season, the jayhawks have struggled with blocking three-point shots. Big 12 opponents have shot 122 three-point shots against the jayhawks, which is the most in the conference.

be reunited with the coach who recruited him to Notre Dame, Charlie Weis.
"To walk in the door and have a guy who carries himself the way Dayne does is good for everyone on the team," Weis said. "Plus, he's a resource for these guys to know who I am."
Crist was a five-star recruit,
according to rivals.com, and committed to Notre Dame and Weis his junior year of high school. Weis would only be around two years with Crist before he was fired in 2009.
After redshirting a year and serving as Jimmy Clausen's backup in 2009, Crist became the starter for the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started nine games and threw for 2033 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions before a ruptured left patella tendon ended his season.
"I feel so much more comfortable doing the things Coach Weis asks me to do," Crist said. "That's why I committed to him the first time at Notre Dame."
In 2011, Crist won the starting job but was benched after completing seven of 15 pass attempts in the first half of the season opener.
"I don't think you can look at anything that has happened with
Dayne Crist in the past two years," Weis said. "As far as I'm concerned, it's null and void. I knew what I had two years ago when I left there, and I fired up to have him now."
It is the same NCAA rule that allowed quarterback Russell Wilson to play immediately for Wisconsin last season, where he led them a berth in the Rose Bowl.
At Kansas, Crist is able to play immediately because he still had one year of eligibility when he graduated from Notre Dame.
Crist's narrowed his decision to Wisconsin and Kansas before choosing Kansas. Weis's relationship with Crist was a factor in his decision.
"When I started thinking about leaving and taking my fifth year elsewhere, he was the first person I called" Crist said. "He was always supportive first and never gave biased answers."
He really had my best interest in mind at all times."
Crist will only be able to play at Kansas for one season, but he hopes his effect can last longer than that. The football program will try to recover from a stretch where it has lost 26 of its last 29 games, including its last 12 conference games.

Q&A
Actor and model Thomas Baker
//author
You might not recognize actor and model Thomas Baker's face yet, but you will soon. His credits range from starring as the abs on Abercrombie & Fitch shopping bags to guest spots on Showtime's critically acclaimed series "The Big C" and CBS's Emmy winning drama "The Good Wife," as well as appearing in commercials with Erin Andrews and Taylor Swift. Most recently, Baker tested his acting chops by serving as the only guy (and playing 17 different parts) in the off-Broadway play "A Piece of My Heart." And later this year, you can see him on the big screen in "Men in Black 3D."
How did you get into acting?
I got into acting because a talent manager saw my Abercrombie shoots and asked if
I would be interested in acting and taking classes for free in his studio in New York. I said yes. He flew me to New York City, and I took his acting classes and I fell in love with it. Funny thing is, I think I always had the acting bug in me. I did two plays in school, Death of a Salesmen and Romeo and Juliet, and loved it then. I knew I wanted to be an actor right when I got back from visiting New York for the first time.
How was moving to New York?
The experience has been like a roller coaster. It starts out really slow, and you just get your feet wet. The pure shock of flying into the New York City skyline is enough to scare anyone. But then it starts to speed up a little after you have gotten
your name and face out there with casting directors and agents. And there are a lot of ups and downs. And I definitely haven't finished my ride yet. But I am sure, as like with any roller coaster, it will end with a lot of exhilaration and excitement.
What has been your favorite role so far? My favorite was probably "The Big C." I got to work with Laura Linney and Cynthia Nixon. Plus, I got the full actors' union experience, with awesome meals and great pay.
If you could have any actor's career, whose would it be?
There isn't really anyone's career I would want to emulate, just because I want to make my career my own. But if there is an alternate universe somewhere where I could hop into the career of another, it would probably be Daniel Day Lewis. He breathes in his characters' worlds. He doesn't just act, he lives the character to an extent of alternate reality.

"I wasn't meeting people," she said. "I was kind of going through people withdrawals."
Determined to overcome her situation she turned to the Internet. Jankord began to scour through blogs and websites in search of a solution to her problem. Her search first brought her to the 365 Project, an initiative in which participants take one photograph each day for an entire year.
"A lot of people I knew were doing the 365 Project so I decided to do something more original," she said.
Relentlessly, she continued to search until finally she came across something that was new to her and grabbed her attention.

"This project stood out to me because I wanted to do something that involved photography," Jankord said.
Setting out and onto campus
"I think what she's doing is pretty courageous, daring." Teron Gaumer said after sharing a story with Jankord and becoming one of her strangers.
Often times it is this fear of rejection that stunts our bravery and keeps us from meeting new people. Overcoming her nerves, Jankord has continued to collect strangers and has now documented the photographs and stories of nearly twenty strangers.
"It was when I got my first rejection that I first got nervous," she said.
She remembers not being very nervous in the beginning.
"It really helped me get out there and meet people," she said.
Jankord is not the only student on campus participating in the project.

on The Replay Lounge
Lawrence has three fresh faces to add to its burgeoning music community: Ryan Wise and Kristofer Dover of The Sluts and Victor Polanco of Going to The Hell in a Leather Jacket. The two projects perform together tomorrow night at the Replay Lounge—it'll be The Sluts' sixth show and Polanco's second.
The Sluts play a bare-bones style of rock and roll, with Dover on drums and Wise doing vocals and guitar. Dover says the band's formation was based on a perceived lack of traditional rock music in Lawrence.
"We were just bored with—I hate to say it—we were bored with the scene," Dover says. "There's a lot of bluegrass, jam bands and metal, all fringe stuff but none of the meat, the good stuff. So we thought, 'we can do this thing,' and got together to play on Saturdays, and we liked it. So we decided to get a show."
That was about a year ago. Eight months later, The Slats were playing shows downtown, where Wise and Dover met Polanco. Polanco was opening for Digital Leather at the Replay, performing for the first time under his new moniker. Wise and Dover were struck by Polanco's strange combination of metal guitar and
electronic dance, and they talked to Polanco about setting up a show.
Polanco says he got the original idea for his music from live DJs. "I heard some live stuff of some popular DJs, and I noticed that they were throwing in clips of Ministry and Rage Against the Machine," Polanco says. "And honestly, the crowd was going crazy for stuff like that, and I thought, 'well this isn't such an absurd idea.'"
You can catch both acts at the Replay tomorrow night.

FACTORIES,
"FACTORIES"
To me, listening to an album full of techno-infused pop is an activity to be endured rather than enjoyed. Factories, the eponymous album from an Arizona-based trio didn't change my mind. The collection of up-tempo tracks isn't bad. It just isn't anything special.
In its first full-length album, the band fails to produce a cohesive collection of songs, alternating between light hearted, techno-infused pop and slowed down, emotive tracks jarringly paired with heavy-handed beats.
On some tracks, the peppy techno sound fits naturally. Lyrics, tempo and vocals join forces with the music to create songs that feel fresh enough to keep you interested and catchy enough to merit replaying. But when the vocals and the sentiment work against the band's heavily produced sound, the end result is like an
indie record in the throws of an identity crisis. It's hard for the vocals to come off as earnest and emotional when it sounds like a group of people are spastically clapping their hands in the background.
When husband and wife Bryan and Audra Marscoverta both sing, Factories sound like The Raveonettes, a duo that expertly balanced interesting harmonies with a fun techno sound. Then Bryan takes the lead on vocals, and the fun and whimsy of the Factories album disappears along with the sound of Audra's voice.

"We Need To Talk About Kevin" //Landon McDonald
//Landon McDonald
Hollywood hits, indie flicks and everything in between.
What's it like to be the mother of a killer? The nature vs. nurture debate sprouts horns and a tail in Lynne Ramsay's "We Need To Talk About Kevin," a singularly disquieting highbrow horror film that explores the taboo subject of maternal apathy with nightmare logic, gut-wrenching performances and dialogue sharp enough to draw blood.
Tilda Swinton stars as Eva, a globetrotting travel writer who finds her free spirit tethered by an unplanned pregnancy. Reluctant to settle down with her amicable husband Franklin (John C. Reilly), Eva is implicitly resentful of Kevin from the moment of his birth. Yet the child, who gradually comes to resemble Swinton more and more, displays no neediness, only a cold, studied indifference and a love of cruel games and tacit manipulation. He is clearly a monster in the making, but of whose making? The film, which unfolds in a fog of memory months after Kevin has committed his final atrocity, wisely leaves that mystery in the hands of the viewer.
Swinton gives the performance of 2011 as the haggard, haunted Eva. With her hair dyed black and her alabaster alien features muted by imagined years of self-loathing, the Scottish actress becomes the aching embodiment of a profoundly broken woman. Additional credit must be given to Ezra Miller, who plays the adolescent Kevin as a smirking, seething cauldron of contempt, and Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, whose score infuses every scene with creeping implacable dread.
Simply put, seek out "Kevin" as soon as possible and discover how every parent's worst nightmare can become a movie lover's dream come true. From the surreal opening reverie to the nihilistic fury of its climax, this is a film designed to leave scars. It is also one of the past year's few genuine masterpieces. Just leave the expectant mothers at home.
FINAL RATING: 4 OUT OF 4 STARS
I'll just put them in a row so it's cleaner. They're very similar.
The woman is sitting on the bed, looking very calm and thoughtful.
The two boys are sitting on her lap, with their heads resting on her shoulder. They appear to be relaxed and comfortable.
The background is plain and light-colored, which helps the focus stay on the subjects.

Often times it is this fear of rejection that stunts our bravery and keeps us from meeting new people. Overcoming her nerves, Jankord has continued to collect strangers and has now documented the photographs and stories of nearly twenty strangers.
"It was when I got my first rejection that I first got nervous," she said.
She remembers not being very nervous in the beginning.
"It really helped me get out there and meet people," she said.
Jankord is not the only student on campus participating in the project.

"In day to day life you walk past so many people and you just have a brief encounter, you don't even notice them," he said. "Now I'm stopping people and getting to know them and it's interesting because they're often a lot more friendly than you would think."
According to the 100 Strangers page on Flickr, there are currently more than 7,000 participants.

"I pulled out a notebook and started writing. After about an hour I started feeling this awkward pain in my chest, but I ignored it. I figured maybe I was just hungry. I kept writing, but as I was rounding out hour two my heart started to race and I started sweating. I was really confused, but this time I couldn't ignore it. I was having a hard time breathing, and that's when I realized I was having an anxiety attack. My life is so dependent on media that I was legitimately having an anxiety attack after only two hours without it."

A problem area on defense for the Jayhawks is defending the perimeter, particularly the three-point line. Led by Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Tyrus McGee, Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-point field goals. White is also capable of knocking down three-pointers. This season, the Jayhawks have struggled with blocking three-point shots. Big 12 opponents have shot 122 three-point shots against the Jayhawks, which is the most in the conference
The Cyclones are hungry to prove they belong amongst the Big 12's elite as well as in the NCAA Tournament field, so the Jayhawks should be prepared for the challenge.
For a team that has very thin depth and must count on their starters both offensively and defensively, the Jayhawks have little room for error.

be reuilted with the coach who recruited him to Notre Dame, Charlie Weis.
Crist was a five-star recruit,
After redshirting a year and serving as Jimmy Clausen's backup in 2009, Crist became the starter for the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started nine games and threw for 2033 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions before a ruptured left patella tendon ended his season.
according to rivals.com, and committed to Notre Dame and Weis his junior year of high school. Weis would only be around two years with Crist before he was fired in 2009.
"I feel so much more comfortable doing the things Coach Weis asks me to do," Crist said. "That's why I committed to him the first time at Notre Dame."
"I don't think you can look at anything that has happened with
In 2011, Crist won the starting job but was benched after completing seven of 15 pass attempts in the first half of the season opener.
At Kansas, Crist is able to play immediately because he still had one year of eligibility when he graduated from Notre Dame.
It is the same NCAA rule that allowed quarterback Russell Wilson to play immediately for Wisconsin last season, where he led them a berth in the Rose Bowl.

"When I started thinking about leaving and taking my fifth year elsewhere, he was the first person I called," Crist said. "He was always supportive first and never gave biased answers."
Crist's narrowed his decision to Wisconsin and Kansas before choosing Kansas. Weis's relationship with Crist was a factor in his decision.
Crist will only be able to play at Kansas for one season, but he hopes his effect can last longer than that. The football program will try to recover from a stretch where it has lost 26 of its last 29 games, including its last 12 conference games.
He really had my best interest in mind at all times."
"Kansas fans should be really excited because Dayne Crist is a
motivated guy," sophomore quarterback Jake Heaps said. "He's a great worker and a great teammate, so he's going to be huge for this program in moving it forward."

For our generation, the thought of going without the constant media accessibility that we grew up with is frightening. After we were born, we were consumed by Nintendo 64 and CD-ROM computer games. By the time we were 10, we graduated to the Play Station and by junior high most of us had cell phones. In high school we updated to smart phones and a laptop was a necessity before we went to college.
These students' opinions are proof that our generation is consumed with all the different technologies and media that we have at our fingertips. And as there are benefits of constant connectedness,media and internet experts also believe there are disadvantages. It's difficult to project whether these disadvantages will affect our social or mental capabilities in the future.
The assignment in the course Media and Society at KU required students to go without all kinds of media for 24 hours, including cell phones, Internet, books, television and print media. After their attempt to fast from media, students were asked to blog about it
Barbara Barnett, associate dean of the School of Journalism and professor of the class, says a trend among students' blogs was language associated with addiction.
Students blogged, "My day phoneless, computerless and musicless almost made me feel handicapped. I felt naked without using any type of media."
"Media is like the air I breathe; it's just a part of the natural flow of my life."
"I have come to realize that five minutes without checking a text message is like the end of the world."
KU students' responses to the media fast mirrored responses from students at the University of Maryland, where in spring 2010. students in a journalism class were asked to spend an entire day without media and blog about it. The fast included cell phones, iPods, television, car radios, magazines, newspapers and computers.
The compiled blog posts from the students at the University of Maryland was equivalent to a 400-page book. The feedback the lecturer and teaching assistants received shed light on the impact media has on our generation.
Jessica Roberts, Ph.D. candidate and lecturer at the University of Maryland,says the responses from students surprised the staff."What we were most impressed by was the hugely emotional reactions that people had," Roberts says. "It was the isolation and loneliness and incredible emotional reactions that were remarkable to all of us."
Many students also reported that they felt panicked because they lost the connectionness that they were so used to having at their fingertips. Many of the students did fail to abstain from media. Roberts says
Barnett says most of her KU students failed as well, but not unexpectedly, because media is what they know. "You grew up with it," Barnett says. "For you it's the norm, and for my generation it's a novelty." Technology has become intertwined in our generation's everyday lives. It's natural to crave social connectivity, according to technology researchers such as Nicholas Carr.
Carr, technology write and author of "The Shallows: What the Inner net is Doing to our Brain," says that people today are drawn to technology for a number of reasons. He says that we have a social need to engage and communicate with others and that we feel social pressure to know what everyone is saying all the time. We're wired to seek new information.
"There are brain studies that show that when we find a new piece of information, dopamine, a chemical that encourages us to do things over and over again, is released. We get pleasure from finding new information," Carr says. This can benefit people by expanding knowledge and increasing social activity. Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center from Los Altos, Calif., says that the benefits of media are huge.
"You have access to people, information and resources far beyond geographical and temporal constraint," Rutledge says. "You are no longer just a recipient of information. You can pass it along, you can choose it and create it."
The knowledge and connectivity we can gain from media seem limitless, but experts debate whether or not media affects us negatively. Rutledge says the disadvantage of media is when people aren't media-literate. They don't take the time to understand the implications of media and they don't think critically about information sources.
She says that because information is essentially unlimited on the Internet, people need to be educated about how to use it and be unbiased in order to receive the full benefits that media offers. "It's a downside when people haven't learned to be good digital citizens because there aren't differences in communications where you have such a broad platform like you do on the Internet," Rutledge says.
The Internet is becoming increasingly personalized depending on what we search and it's remembering that information to market to us and to help us filter through the Internet. This allows people to see information on the Internet through a minimal spectrum, shielding them from other irrelevant information. Gunnar Garfors blog, "The Major Minor Details on Media, Technology and Travel," says that the Internet's personalization can be a bad thing in many settings. "People buy or watch certain newspapers and TV programs based on their preferences." Garfors, CEO of Norwegian Mobile TV Corporation, says. "But two persons buying the same paper will at least be presented the same information in the same manner and in the same order. With the Internet, this is no longer necessarily the case."
Another disadvantage of constant connectivity and so many forms of media is multi-tasking. A 2009 Stanford study found that people who frequently divert their attention between different information on the Internet can't control their memory or pay attention as well as people who zero-in on one task at a time. The Stanford researchers are still studying whether regular multi-taskers are born with an inability to concentrate or if they continue to shorten their attention
span by willingly taking in a lot of information, but they do believe that multi-taskers' brains aren't working as well as they could.
Media and Society freshman Grace Stanfield admits that she constantly has multiple Internet windows open on her laptop and she frequently shifts her attention back and forth between them. "I think it's feeding this ADHD-like personality so many people our age are starting to demonstrate," Stanfield says.
Carr, the technology writer, also believes that multi-tasking isn't good for our brains. Carr says that when we jump from one website or medium to another, we can't fully absorb all the information we take in and grasp its entire meaning. He says that multitasking is beginning to narrow our definition of the ideal intellectual life because of the way we process information.
"I think that people are getting accustomed to getting distracted and being
interrupted all the time," Carr says. "As we train ourselves to constantly shift focus, we become less-capable of meditated, deeper forms of thinking. In some ways we're broadening certain aspects of thinking, but we're also becoming superficial."
While media obsession presents possible disadvantages, there isn't enough research yet to determine the outcome of our generation's close relationship with media. Without a doubt, media has become embedded in our generation's everyday lives and will be in future generations.
After reflecting on her experiences and struggles of media fasting assignment, Kirsten Stelsad knew why the challenge was so hard to overcome.
"The truth of the matter is, I tried to live in a technological world without any technology," Stelsad says. "If everyone around me is as equally submerged in media as I am, when I try to pull myself out, it's harder than I could've imagined."

What is the media device you use the most and how much time does it consume of yours each day?
"My computer. I spend about two or three hours on it each day." -- Julia Miggins, senior from Tulsa, Okla
"My iPhone. I spend probably about eight hours daily on it. My friends say it's excessive." — Nathan Miller, junior from Wichita.
"I use my phone the most. I have all of my emails linked to it, so it makes it easy to keep up with what I need without having to lug around my laptop."
—Aaron Elston, senior from Mulvane
"My iPhone. I spend about two or three hours on it." —Josh Kozberg, senior from Minneapolis, Minn.
"The media device I use the most would be my cell phone, since I have the iPhone it holds all of my music, a lot of my pictures and different applications. I use my phone to check Facebook and Twitter. I have my phone with me probably 24 hours of the day, but only use it probably 8 to 10 hours of the day." —Katie Wells, sophomore from Overland Park.

"I wasn't meeting people," she said. "I was kind of going through people withdrawals."
Determined to overcome her situation she turned to the Internet. Jankord began to scour through blogs and websites in search of a solution to her problem. Her search first brought her to the 365 Project, an initiative in which participants take one photograph each day for an entire year.
"A lot of people I knew were doing the 365 Project so I decided to do something more original," she said.
Relentlessly, she continued to search until finally she came across something that was new to her and grabbed her attention.
Unlike the 365 Project,100 Strangers is a project that requires socialization. The first objective of

She had hoped to be admitted to the School of the Arts to study photography, but was declined. 100 Strangers became an opportunity for her to pursue her love of art as well as to build confidence and overcome the difficulties of meeting new people.
The second half of the project is taking the photo (with permission) of the strangers who shared their story. While meeting new people and collecting the stories of strangers was appealing to Jankord, it was the second half of the project that intrigued her most of all.
"This project stood out to me because I wanted to do something that involved photography," Jankord said.
"It really helped me get out there and meet people," she said.

Often times it is this fear of rejection that stunts our bravery and keeps us from meeting new people. Overcoming her nerves, Jankord has continued to collect strangers and has now documented the photographs and stories of nearly twenty strangers.

The hotel was originally founded in 1855 by settlers from the New England Emigrant Aid Society to provide housing for people that came to Lawrence.
2
The hotel was originally named the Free State Hotel after the settlers' intention of Kansas coming into the union as a free state.

In 1856, Sheriff Sam Jones and a group of pro-slavery forces burned down the Free State hotel.
Col. Shalor Eldridge rebuilt the hotel and vowed to rebuild it and add another floor every time it was destroyed.

The growth of the motel business led to the hotel closing and being converted into apartments in the early '70s until 1985 when it was renovated and restored to its original state.

WHAT IT'S LIKE... to find out you're pregnant in college
10/31/2015
// NAKAI MARR AS TOLD TO NADIA IMAFIDON
Nakai Marr, a junior from Lawrence, discovered she was pregnant a week and half before fall semester of 2011.
She and her boyfriend of four years, Eric, decided to keep the baby, and Marr is continuing to pursue her plans of graduating in four. Her due date is April 16, and she graduates in May.
My body works like clockwork. I was leaving Wal-Mart with a box of
tampons in my bag when I realized I hadn't gotten my period that morning. I always get my period first thing the morning. I quickly turned back to buy a pregnancy test and rushed home.
This wasn't the first time I'd taken a pregnancy test. I've been sexually active since I was fifteen, and if I ever missed my period, I took a pregnancy test, and the negative results gave me relief. This was a different experience entirely.
My mom had stopped by my house that morning. I rushed to the bathroom and told her I'd just be a second. My mom yelled at me from outside the door to hurry up. I peed on the stick and anxiously looked at the test window. Shit, I had never seen these two lines before. Turns out the
scariest thing in the world were these two little lines. I started bawling and walked into the hallway carrying the test. My mom looked at it and the first thing she said was abortion.
She told me wed take care of it like it was any other job. No one would have to know. My mom got pregnant in college, dropped out, and ended up divorcing my dad later, supporting our family without a degree. It wasn't until I was in high school until she could go back to complete her medical degree. My mom just wanted me to finish school. So did I.
I had to call Eric at his internship, and ended up telling him through sobs. The line went dead silent. He told me he would be home during lunch, and came home to down a bottle of whiskey. Eric ended up throwing up more than I did that day
Adoption wasn't an option; I didn't want to feel a baby move inside of me, carry it to term and have to give it away. Until now, I had always thought if I ever had an unplanned pregnancy, I'd choose abortion. I didn't realize
how devastated I'd feel just thinking about getting rid of the baby's existence. And honestly, we didn't need to choose that option.I love Eric.I want to have his children,and we already have a home to take care of a child. This pregnancy wasn't planned, but who is ever ready to have a child.
Now I wake up feeling like crap, and go to campus where I get judged. I get looks from the skinny bitches that think I'm just getting fat or the people who know I'm pregnant and judge me because I'm 20 and not married. What they don't see is that I took the pill every morning after I brushed my teeth for six years, and I still got pregnant.
I'm a pregnant student taking 17 credit hours and waitressing nearly 30 hours a week. It sucks to be the girl the professor calls out for falling asleep, but then I think "I'd like to see you build a person and come to class every day." But I'm self-sufficient and I plan on graduating next year. My whole life has changed for something that isn't real to me yet.

A month ago, Carly Adams would have told you that her spring break plans consisted of going on a cruise with her friends. Now, Adams, a junior from Sedgwick majoring in applied behavioral science, plans on saving her money for a second trip to Honduras.
Over winter break Adams spent eight days in Primavira, Honduras with the organization

Student Helping Honduras building schools for children. "I've felt like I've always been called to teach in a third world country and I've always been involved in volunteering," Adams says. "I found the organization on Twitter this past summer and after researching it, I fell in love with it."
After getting up at 7:30 a.m. every morning, Adams and the rest of her team would work on the worksite most of the day, but more importantly they would get to know the children and the families they were helping. The team became very close with the villagers and became very active in the community. "The whole trip was amazing, but getting to know the construction workers, the children and families was definitely my favorite," Adams says. The team learned to cook authentic Honduran dishes and ended every day with a game of soccer.
Adams says that even if you couldn't speak Spanish, playing soccer was a great way to interact act with the children, despite the language barrier. Adams went to Honduras with Jenna Olitsky, a junior from Leawood, and the two hope to bring the organization to campus. "We're having the man that actually the organization coming to speak to hopefully encourage students to come on a trip this summer or next January," she says.
A problem area on defense for the Jayhawks is defending the perimeter, particularly the three-point line. Led by Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Tyrus McGee, Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-point field goals. White is also capable of knocking down three-pointers. This season, the Jayhawks have struggled with blocking three-point shots. Big 12 opponents have shot 122 three-point shots against the Jayhawks, which is the most in the conference.
For a team that has very thin depth and must count on their starters both offensively and defensively, the Jayhawks have little room for error.
The Cyclones are hungry to prove they belong amongst the Big 12's elite as well as in the NCAA Tournament field, so the Jayhawks should be prepared for the challenge.

according to rivals.com, and committed to Notre Dame and Weis his junior year of high school. Weis would only be around two years with Crist before he was fired in 2009.
"I feel so much more comfortable doing the things Coach Weis asks me to do," Crist said. "That's why I committed to him the first time at Notre Dame."
After redshirting a year and serving as Jimmy Clausen's backup in 2009, Crist became the starter for the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started nine games and threw for 3033 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions before a ruptured left patella tendon ended his season.
In 2011, Crist won the starting job but was benched after completing seven of 15 pass attempts in the first half of the season opener.

At Kansas, Crist is able to play immediately because he still had one year of eligibility when he graduated from Notre Dame.
It is the same NCAA rule that allowed quarterback Russell Wilson to play immediately for Wisconsin last season, where he led them a berth in the Rose Bowl.
Crist's narrowed his decision to Wisconsin and Kansas before choosing Kansas. Weis's relationship with Crist was a factor in his decision.
"When I started thinking about leaving and taking my fifth year elsewhere, he was the first person I called," Crist said. "He was always supportive first and never gave biased answers."
He really had my best interest in mind at all times."
Crist will only be able to play at Kansas for one season, but he hopes his effect can last longer than that. The football program will try to recover from a stretch where it has lost 26 of its last 29 games, including its last 12 conference games.

ANTHROPOLOGY IN PERU: INTERESTING RESEARCH BEING DONE BY A KU GRADUATE STUDENT
Peru is rich in information about humans and biodiversity. It is full of different cultural groups, linguistic groups, undiscovered archeology and regional history. Despite Peru being filled with everything an anthropologist dreams about, there isn't an anthropology department at the Universidad Nacional de San Martín, Tarapoto (UNSM) in Peru.
// KELSEA ECKENROTH
This is where Sydney Silverstein, a graduate student studying cultural anthropology, and a team of researchers from the KU department of anthropology come into the picture.
Silverstein and the other researchers are trying to collaborate with UNSM to eventually create a relationship between the two universities, one similar to the relationship between KU and the University of Costa Rica. "Our goal is that eventually the university has some sort of anthro department and that students from that university can do an exchange semester at KU and KU students can go down there and study," Silverstein
says.
The partnership will allow Peruvian students to obtain student visas and come to the United States to take courses that their universities don't offer due to lack of resources. KU students interested in Latin America, students wanting to study Quechua (an indigenous language spoken in South America that is offered at KU) and other languages, and students wanting to go to one of the most biodiverse places in the world will be able to do so.
For students interested in anthropology, the KU Office of Study Abroad offers a summer ethnographic field school in Peru. The program gives students the opportunity to study in the Peruvian Upper Amazon. Besides being an awesome learning experience, Silverstein says the field school is an important part of forming the relationship between KU and the UNSM.

In many senses, the technological growth of a nation is now measured by how much it can shrink its phones computers, mp3 players and the like. Keeping up with Moore's Law, to double the processing power and cut prices by half, is a pursuit that has forged the epicenters of modern technology. Meanwhile, one of the most advanced applications of this pursuit has been taking place right here in Lawrence. Carey Johnson, a KU professor of Chemistry, and Rongqing Hui, a KU professor of electrical engineering and computer science, have been steadily closing in on a method of making the cutting edge of laser imaging available to society as a whole. According to Johnson, Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) is a method of laser imaging used in biomedical science to directly observe DNA and the other building blocks of life.
CARS works through triangulating the unique resonant frequencies of elements by emitting variable wavelengths of light, a method that both preserves the sample and eliminates unnecessary steps.
"CARS has been around for a long time, but it's been developed based on $300,000 laser systems that take up large optical tables," Johnson says. "It's not a very usable method of microscopy for everyday clinical use - it requires a very specialized lab and a system that's not portable."
By making use of a $156,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health Johnson and Hui stand a chance to revolutionize biomedicine and clinical work by re-engineering CARS to fit inside a shoebox. The project, scheduled for completion by 2014, could mainstream methods of DNA analysis and testing previously available only to the wealthiest and most prestigious institutions.

Sunfire Ceramics //Rachel Cheon Just do it.
Need an idea of what to get someone for a birthday, Valentine's Day, or just want to create a nice piece of pottery for yourself? Seong Hyun Moon, a freshman from Seoul, South Korea, is looking for just that, and Sunfire Ceramics is the place to go. "I want to make a vase for my friend, because she loves flowers and needs a place to put them," Moon says. Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire, offers a wide range of pottery products that fit students' budgets. One pottery project typically costs less than $12, which includes the $4 painting fee. If there are more than ten people in a group, the painting fee is $3.
Cheryl Roth, owner of Sunfire Ceramics, says painting mugs and Jayhawks are the most popular projects among KU students, and that there are many projects available for the upcoming Valentine's Day
holiday. "We have Valentine's mugs, Valentine's frames, a variety of different vases, heart plates, and some really cool candle holders and various shapes of hearts," Roth says. Sample designs and tools such as stencils, stamps, sponges, and brushes are provided, and staff members are there to help with the painting process. After painting, the staff will fire the pottery in the kiln and have your masterpiece ready to pick up in 3-5 days. Sunfire Ceramics is open Monday and Tuesday from 11 a.m.to 6 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
HOURS OF OPERATION:

WEAR THIS...
Get it while it's haute. //Lizzie Marx
Getting to class on a snowy day just got a little easier with the help of the ongoing trend of Wellington boots. Girls, and even a few brave men, have developed a love for these classic rain boots. Not only are they a stylish footwear option, but they are also practical boot for those treacherous winter days.
The 1st Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, popularized the Wellington boot during the 19th century. This new boot replaced the Hessian boot, which needed to be worn with breeches, since many men started to wear trousers in the early 1800s. During World War II, the Wellington boot became a necessity for the Allied soldiers because they had to work in flooded conditions across Europe. These thick and durable rubber boots were a staple for warfare apparel.
Now, people not only wear these boots to bear the weather, but also to create a fashion statement. At the 2005 Glastonbury festival in the United Kingdom, Kate Moss once again shocked people when she wore her black Hunter rain boots with cutoff denim shorts. As much as this was a practical outfit due to the vast amounts of mud at the music festival, Moss stayed true to her iconic fashion sense by pushing the boundaries with rain boots.
If you are feeling brave and want to weather the winter elements in style, there are many different options and types of Wellington boots. My personal favorite is the classic Hunter boot ($125) in the original green. I don't know if I love them because
they keep my feet warm and dry during those snowy days or if it's because Hunter has received a royal warrant from HRH The Duke Of Edinburgh and HM The Queen for their ability to keep important feet comfortable. Hunter also paired up with the prominent London based shoe company Jimmy Choo to create a black wellie with a debossed crocodile print ($425) for the fearless fashion follower. A more affordable option would be Urban Outfitters Back-Zip Rain Boot ($49 in the brass color) to simulate the utilitarian chic trend.
Snow day or not, enduring the winter weather just got more stylish with these worthy wellies.

"I wasn't meeting people," she said. "I was kind of going through people withdrawals."
Determined to overcome her situation she turned to the Internet. Jankord began to scour through blogs and websites in search of a solution to her problem. Her search first brought her to the 365 Project, an initiative in which participants take one photograph each day for an entire year.

What you need to make this dish:
Nutella
Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
Fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, blueberries, apples)
Graham crackers and marshmallows (optional)
To all you fellow Nutella lovers out there, I have just recently joined the club because of this dish. It is a simple recipe that you can whip up in about 3 minutes. Simply mix about 1/2 cup of Nutella with 1 cup of yogurt. Refrigerate until serving. Once your dip is chilled, you can enjoy it with some fresh fruit, such as strawberries, bananas, blueberries or apples. If you have a sweet tooth, graham crackers and marshmallows go well with it too.
Not only is this dish delicious,but it is also a somewhat healthy snack when paired with fresh fruit.

Professor Marty Glenn, a nutritionist
According the Hershey's and Nutella product websites, Nutella has less fat, calories and sodium than a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar.
from the Health Sport & Exercise Department at the University of Kansas says that Nutella itself isn't significantly healthier than regular chocolate, but it is made with skim milk. Combining it with the non-fat Greek yogurt definitely makes the snack healthier.
Non-fat plain Greek yogurt has a thick creamy and tangy texture without the use of as much fat compared with regular yogurts. Greek yogurt is also higher in protein - another bonus.
Andrew Williams, a senior from Overland Park, says, "I have never tried Nutella before, but this recipe sounds very delecable.
over all the recipe sounds very detectable, especially paired with fruit and yogurt. I wasn't sure about the plain yogurt that was used, but it turned out to taste really good with the chocolate and hazelnut spread."

Not a big fan of coffee? Drinking green tea is another way for you to get your caffeine fix instead of reaching for an unhealthy can of Red Bull.
"Green tea is my new obsession. It tastes great, has caffeine, and is good for you. I have switched to drinking tea instead of coffee because I feel like coffee makes me too jittery and hyper," says Lindsey Buck, a senior from St. Louis.
//Lauren Shellv
Professor Marty Glenn, a nutritionist from the Health Sport & Exercise Department at the University of Kansas says. "Green tea is probably the healthiest way
Studies show that green tea contains antioxidants, which help boost your immune system and fight off bad cells. The antioxidants in green tea are known as catechins, which help prevent several types of cancer, high cholesterol, weight gain, heart disease and strokes.
to get your caffeine for the day. It contains about 25 percent less caffeine than coffee, so about 25 to 50 mg." While this is less caffeine than coffee, it is still enough to give you a caffeine jolt. Not only does it keep you focused while studying, but it also has tremendous health benefits as well.
Glenn also says, "People with heart disease have been known to drink about two to four cups a day in order to keep those rates down."
So, start your day off with a cup of hot green tea—your body will thank you in the long run.
Cynthia Sass, a dietician from Shape magazine says, "Tea is tied to better bone density, slower bone loss, a stronger immune system and a reduction in belly fat. Regular tea drinkers also have a 20 to 30 percent lower risk of heart disease and 40 to 60 percent lower risk of stroke."

A problem area on defense for the Jayhawks is defending the perimeter, particularly the three-point line. Led by Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Tyrus McGee, Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-point field goals. White is also capable of knocking down three-pointers. This season, the Jayhawks have struggled with blocking three-point shots. Big 12 opponents have shot 122 three-point shots against the Jayhawks, which is the most in the conference.
The Cyclones are hungry to prove they belong amongst the Big 12's elite as well as in the NCAA Tournament field, so the Jayhawks should be prepared for the challenge.
For a team that has very thin depth and must count on their starters both offensively and defensively, the Jayhawks have little room for error.

"I feel so much more comfortable doing the things Coach Weis asks me to do," Crist said. "That's why I committed to him the first time at Notre Dame."
After redshirting a year and serving as Jimmy Clausen's backup in 2009, Crist became the starter for the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started nine games and threw for 2033 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions before a ruptured left patella tendon ended his season.

At Kansas, Crist is able to play immediately because he still had one year of eligibility when he graduated from Notre Dame.
Crist's narrowed his decision to Wisconsin and Kansas before choosing Kansas. Weis's relationship with Crist was a factor in his decision.
"When I started thinking about leaving and taking my fifth year elsewhere, he was the first person I called," Crist said. "He was always supportive first and never gave biased answers."
Crist will only be able to play at Kansas for one season, but he hopes his effect can last longer than that. The football program will try to recover from a stretch where it has lost 26 of its last 29 games, including its last 12 conference games.

Bubble Tea //Rachel Cheon
---
Thirsty for more?
For non-alcoholic drinks, many people drink coffee, hot chocolate smoothies, hot teas, or soda. Besides these beverages, there is another kind of non-alcoholic drink available in Lawrence. Bubble teas, also known as boba milk teas, typically contain a tea base such as oolong tea or black tea and are mixed with milk and various flavors like green tea, taro, almonds, and honeydew.. Rick Gan, a junior from Seremban, Malaysia enjoys the wide range of different flavors bubble teas come in and has them as much as three times
a week sometimes. "You never really get tired of them," Gan says.In these milky teas, there are bubbles, or pearls, which are dark chewy balls made from gluten-free tapioca starch, that make bubble teas so addicting.
Kevin Song, a junior from Los Angeles, says even though he is not really a tea person, he enjoys some good milk tea if it goes well with the pearls. "The pearls taste good when you add it into milk tea, and it's also fun to chew on them," says Song. Bubble teas are available in several places including House of Cha (21 West Ninth St.). Encore Cafe (1007 Massachusetts), Zen Zero (811 Massachusetts), and Little Saigon Café (1524B W. 23rd St.). Bubble teas typically come in 16 ounce servings and cost between $3-5. Try these fun, bubbly drinks with friends, on a date, or on the go.

EAT THIS... The Best Hangover Food: Pho Food should be fun. //Rachel C.
The morning after a fun night can be quite unpleasant with headaches, nausea, and dehydration. You may turn to pizza or hamburger for help, but for some students, nothing beats pho as the cure for hangover. Steamy pho broth takes care of the thirst, and

alliates pain and nausea from the hangover. Hyung Jin, a senior from Lenexa, is one of those students. "The broth really takes care of any nausea. It calms my stomach down after a night of throwing up," Jin says.
Pho is a nutritious, low-calorie masterpiece made of rice noodles beef, chicken, meatballs, various herbs and vegetables in beef broth that has been simmered for seven to 10 hours. Steve Nguyen, owner and chef at Little Saigon Café (1524B W. 23rd St.), says that pho is the most popular dish among KU students at his restaurant. "9 out of 10 students want pho,"
Nguyen says.
Although many enjoy having pho as a hangover food, Nguyen says pho is good for any occasion. "It's good for anytime of the day. It's a very healthy food with natural ingredients and no artificial stuff in it," Nguyen says.
Regular sized bowls are $6.50, and larger bowls are $7.50 to $8.50. Unfortunately, Little Saigon Cafe is closed on Sundays, so you will have to take care of your hangover from Saturday nights some other way, but for those hangovers from Friday nights, try pho. Your body will thank you.

"The last thing I envisioned while growing up was being a bridesmaid at my mother's wedding. Again. And Again. And again."
I stood to the right side of my mother, shivering from the cold. My black and pink tanktop dress hit my knees and my high heels would have shown brave toes had they not been buried in the snow. My mom was getting married in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and we were standing outside, rubbing bare shoulders with the cold.
To say that I was annoyed standing shin-deep in snow is a gross understatement. The fact that this was just another one of my mother's marriages could have added to the frustration because, let's be honest, the last thing I envisioned while growing up was being a bridesmaid at my mother's wedding. Again. And Again. And again.
At any of these weddings I would have probably been scolded for having a glass of wine but chugging an entire bottle was exactly what I wanted to do when I saw my mom's sealing kiss with my different stepdads.
The reasons for the multiple marriages are extensive, but allow me to state the obvious: my mom is beautiful. She doesn't wear makeup, and at a year shy from 50, she doesn't look a day past 35. She's charming. She picks things up quick. For instance, after my father (a complete jock and her first husband) and she got divorced, she quickly became engaged to a Texan where she complemented that relationship with Southern food and a dusty old pair of cowboy boots that she had since high school.
They never officially got married, and after they broke off the engagement, she packed up our childhood home and headed for California. My oldest brother and sister moved with her, but my other sister and I stayed in Sterling with my father because we thought California was full of dirty hippies.
Not long after her stint in California (about nine years) was she divorced and moving back to Kansas. She settled in Hutchinson, but it didn't take long before she was engaged, yet again, to my current stepdad who owned a farm in the middle-of-nowhere America. Do I even need to tell you that she learned how to break a horse within a few months? Or how the chickens eat out of her hands and the garden will produce sweet potatoes just by her looking at it?
There she met an Italian man who loved fine dining, so she became an expert on wine and Italian dishes in about 24 hours. Seriously. She's brilliant with
At first I didn't exactly understand why my mom had so many relationships. I was a child, and the sanctity of marriage came far down the list of my priorities. But when I got into college and the phone calls regarding her new relationships became the hot topic, I began to take a long look at how these marriages had affected me. So I began the unwinding of my mother at the place that made the most sense; in Chili's over chips, guacamole and beers with my father, her first and longest husband.
My dad and my mom stayed married for 18 years after dating all four years of high school. My dad was quarterback of the football team and my mom was the prettiest girl in school. You know, that
bull crap. My dad's cool. I mean that. My dad can probably beat you at beer pong and throw a football farther than you and figure out what's wrong with your car, later fixing it with his eyes closed. He had his legs stretched out in the booth so his frame was forming an L-shape in the restaurant when I asked him what the hell was up with my mom. His response went a little something like this, "Well, Bre-anna, I have no idea."
First off, I do not think my mother is a bad person. I don't think my mother is a crazy person. In fact, all I know is that I am thankful for watching her go through these marriages and engagements so that I can learn through them. I used to wear my mom's red high heels when I was little. I used to play in her fingernail polish and look at her romance novels' covers in utter confusion/amazement. Like every girl, I wanted to be just like her, but I know that I will not copycat her when it comes to (continually) tying the knot.
Brilliant. Not only did she have us all mixed up, but the one man she'd been with for a majority of her life was just as clueless as their kids. Even though my dad's advice was just as cheap as the beer he drinks, I finally started to come to some conclusions myself.
The way these relationships affected me as a child was anything but healthy. Since my stepfathers' families were quickly moving in and out of my life, I became desensitized to permanent goodbyes. I got really good at ridding myself of past step-siblings or stepdads. It took me until college to really feel the impact of missing the people that I had once shared a home with. With time I have learned the correct way to address a close relationship that requires a permanent goodbye.
When I settle down, I want it to be for good. I don't want a trial-run. In my eyes, that's what dating is for, and throughout that dating time, you pick out what you know you are and aren't looking for until you find someone that will be compatible with you in many aspects. If it takes me until I'm 49 to find someone that I get along with darn near perfectly, then so be it. But I can assure you that I will not be on my fourth husband by the time half my life is over. Who knows, I may just be a bachelorette for the rest of my life and adopt.

Syringe:
a diabetic vs.
the world
// CHRIS NEAL
The first sign I had that something was wrong was when I was 15 and a sophomore in high school.
While getting ready for school, I blacked out in the shower at my house and woke up with a massive headache. The water was still streaming over me as I sat up wondering what the hell just happened. After several minutes of sitting in the bottom of the shower, I snapped out of
my daze, got out, and crawled back to bed. I stayed there all day instead of going to school. Little did I know the next day would change my life forever.
I still felt like crap, but attempted to tough it out at school the next day. My English teacher, Ms. Nunley, knew something was wrong when she saw me. I was pale and missing about 20 pounds that disappeared before I returned to school. She followed me into the hallway after I asked to get a drink. "Chris, are you feeling all right?" she said. "You look like you've lost a lot of weight." I told her I was fine and that I just needed a drink of water, but she didn't buy it. She forced me to go to the nurse. From there, I went to
my doctor and was then on my way to the hospital with Type 1 diabetes, which, according to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 15,000 children and teens are diagnosed each year.
A few hours after being sent to the nurse, I was checked into a room at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. The doctors were having a hard time figuring out how I wasn't in a coma with my extremely high blood sugar. The average person's blood sugar ranges from 70-150; mine was 921, which means the cells in my body weren't getting the sugar they needed for energy and were devouring my fat and muscles like a microscopic version of Pac Man. Eating real food was not an option, so I was given a steady diet of ice chips whenever I was hungry. Eating at this point would have just thrown more sugar into my bloodstream, making my condition even worse. The ice chips, along with 15 bags of saline, were acted like a system flusher to help bring my blood sugar down.
When I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, I had no clue what it was. But I later found out that it's a genetic disease when your pancreas stops making insulin. Imagine your cell as a door and the insulin as a key and diabetes is like losing that key. Without the key, your cells can't obtain sugar and will devour everything they can find until you die. How I managed to get this disease is still a mystery in my family. Nobody on either my mom or dad's side can figure out who had it. It's as if it popped up out of thin air and now I'm stuck with it.
For me, this means I have to inject insulin five to six times a day and have to check my blood sugar by pricking my fingers. I even have to be able to look at a plate of food and know how much insulin I'm going to need for that meal. I used to have to look up all of my food in a book that the hospital gave me to see how much insulin is required for each food item, but now I can just eyeball it and take what I think is the right amount. Trust me, it sucks.
After I was discharged from the hospital, depression rapidly set in. I began to feel like I couldn't go anywhere without being looked at like some monster. I felt the need to hide myself when taking my medication just to keep others from staring at me like some drug addict. I had this feeling that the world and even God was against me. I know now that I was being completely close-minded and assumed
way too much about what others thought, but can you blame me? For the first few months, I stared at the walls in my room repeating questions like "Why me God?" and "What did I do to deserve this?" I had thought that having this disease was worse enough, but I didn't think how it would affect my family until I had low blood sugar late one night.
I had never said anything bad to my parents, but that changed when I woke up one night and had to deal with low blood sugar. When experiencing low blood sugar, you tend to get really agitated and can only think about stuffing your face to get rid of the weird feeling. All I can remember is me telling my mom "Until you have been through the shit I've had to go through, don't act like you know me or anything about me." I quickly realized the severity of my words when my dad ran downstairs to confront me. He said "what did you say to my wife?" The night ended with my parents and I sitting in their room as I cried my eyes out talking about how much I hated my life because of this disease.
After that night, I decided I couldn't go on like this. From that moment on, I simply decided to stop caring about what others think anymore. I had let my assumptions of what I believed people thought of me consume my head and it was dragging me down. It took some time, but I eventually convinced myself to take the "shit happens" approach to life. I was done dwelling on how my life was supposed to be and told myself to get over it.
Having diabetes has taught me how to confront my problems and how to deal with them. Now, when a problem comes up, I just see it as another thing I need to deal with as opposed to freaking out like I would when I was first diagnosed. The most important thing I've learned from having this disease is responsibility. I have to take my medicine every day and at certain times. If I don't, I could lose my eyesight, my feet, my hands, my arms, and I could even die. When you have those kinds of consequences, you force yourself to be responsible.
So, in the long run, this disease developed my coping skills. Now I just roll with the punches and I no longer blame God. And in a sense, I'm kind of happy about it. Don't get me wrong, having to take six shots a day really sucks, but in the grand scheme of things, it's made me a stronger person.

lenges during her first semester, a challenge that many new students face.
"I wasn't meeting people," she said. "I was kind of going through people withdrawals."
Determined to overcome her situation she turned to the Internet. Jankord began to scour through blogs and websites in search of a solution to her problem. Her search first brought her to the 365 Project, an initiative in which participants take one photograph each day for an entire year.
"A lot of people I knew were doing the 365 Project so I decided to do something more original," she said.
Relentlessly, she continued to search until finally she came across something that was new to her and grabbed her attention.
Unlike the 365 Project,100 Strangers is a project that requires socialization. The first objective of
"People have told me simple things, like how they skipped class," Jankord said. "An elderly couple that I met by Potter Lake told me their life story."
The second half of the project is taking the photo (with permission) of the strangers who shared their story. While meeting new people and collecting the stories of strangers was appealing to Jankord, it was the second half of the project that intrigued her most of all.
She had hoped to be admitted to the School of the Arts to study photography, but was declined. 100 Strangers became an opportunity for her to pursue her love of art as well as to build confidence and overcome the difficulties of meeting new people.
"This project stood out to me because I wanted to do something that involved photography," Jankord said.
Setting out and onto campus
most people were more than willing to talk about themselves.
"I think what she's doing is pretty courageous, daring." Teron Gaumer said after sharing a story with Jankord and becoming one of her strangers.
Often times it is this fear of rejection that stunts our bravery and keeps us from meeting new people. Overcoming her nerves, Jankord has continued to collect strangers and has now documented the photographs and stories of nearly twenty strangers.
"It was when I got my first rejection that I first got nervous," she said.
She remembers not being very nervous in the beginning.
"It really helped me out get there and meet people," she said.
Jankord is not the only student on campus participating in the project.

Baffa, much like Jankord, began the project as a way to grow as a photographer and to break out of social timidity.
"In day to day life you walk past so many people and you just have a brief encounter, you don't even notice them," he said. "Now I'm stopping people and getting to know them and it's interesting because they're often a lot more friendly than you would think."

A problem area on defense for the Jayhawks is defending the perimeter, particularly the three-point line. Led by Chris Babb, Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Tyrus McGee, Iowa State leads the Big 12 in three-point field goals. White is also capable of knocking down three-pointers. This season, the Jayhawks have struggled with blocking three-point shots. Big 12 opponents have shot 122 three-point shots against the Jayhawks, which is the most in the conference.
For a team that has very thin depth and must count on their starters both offensively and defensively, the Jayhawks have little room for error.
Edited by Amanda Gage
The Cyclones are hungry to prove they belong amongst the Big 12's elite as well as in the NCAA Tournament field, so the Jayhawks should be prepared for the challenge.

be reunited with the coach who recruited him to Notre Dame, Charlie Weis.
"To walk in the door and have a guy who carries himself the way Dayne does is good for everyone on the team," Weis said. "Plus, he's a resource for these guys to know who I am."
Crist was a five-star recruit,
After redshirting a year and serving as Jimmy Clausen's backup in 2009, Crist became the starter for the Fighting Irish in 2010. He started nine games and threw for 2033 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions before a ruptured left patella tendon ended his season.
according to rivals.com, and committed to Notre Dame and Weis his junior year of high school. Weis would only be around two years with Crist before he was fired in 2009.
"I feel so much more comfortable doing the things Coach Weis asks me to do," Crist said. "That's why I committed to him the first time at Notre Dame."
In 2011, Crist won the starting job but was benched after completing seven of 15 pass attempts in the first half of the season opener.
"I don't think you can look at anything that has happened with
It is the same NCAA rule that allowed quarterback Russell Wilson to play immediately for Wisconsin last season, where he led them a berth in the Rose Bowl.
Crist's narrowed his decision to Wisconsin and Kansas before choosing Kansas. Weis's relationship with Crist was a factor in his decision.
"When I started thinking about leaving and taking my fifth year elsewhere, he was the first person I called," Crist said. "He was always supportive first and never gave biased answers."
He really had my best interest in mind at all times."
Crist will only be able to play at Kansas for one season, but he hopes his effect can last longer than that. The football program will try to recover from a stretch where it has lost 26 of its last 29 games, including its last 12 conference games.
At Kansas, Crist is able to play immediately because he still had one year of eligibility when he graduated from Notre Dame.

While Facebook is still the leader in the social media world, the virtual pinboard site, Pinterest, is claiming its own stake on the charts.
Pinterest has a variety of uses, from decorating a home to planning a wedding. Users take photos and ideas that they find on the web and "pin" it to their virtual pinboard. They can also view other people's pinboards.
"When I'm bored, I get on there and see my friends and what they are pinning," said Kristen Hastert, a junior from Olathe.
Hastert was invited by friends to join Pinterest two months ago. Pinterest is currently invitation-only. And it may be the private aspect that makes Pinterest so appealing.
"I think it makes you want it more," Raymond said.
Tera Raymond, a freshman from Colby, said the invitation made her wonder what the big deal was.
Raymond has had a Pinterest account since April 2011 and uses it for cooking and craft ideas. She said she also has a Pinterest application for her iPod, and when she's not pinning
at home on her computer, she's on her portable version.
According to the web information company Alexa, Pinterest is ranked the 28th most popular site in the United States, as of Thursday evening. Women under the age of 34 account for the majority of the site's traffic.
"It will definitely take hours away from your day," Raymond said.
Pinterest users claim that once they're in, they're hooked.
One audience Pinterest has failed to reach is the male population. Although this population does exist, according to statistics from Alexa.com, men are greatly underrepresented, as there is only a small number of them participating in the pinning revolution. For Tim Turkalo, a junior from Topeka, it was a lack of interest. He also said that none of his male friends have a Pinterest either.
Even though the male audience hasn't caught on to the newest social media site, Pinterest's popularity has continued to rise, jumping from the 30th to the 28th most popular site in the U.S. within 24 hours, according to Alexa.com.

Have a look around. You can see that the streets and sidewalks are teeming with characters, mysterious strangers. In each sidestep and passing glance there is a story that goes untold; a story forgotten. For many, it is rare that we divert from our daily routine in an effort to speak to someone new.

However, Chelsey Jankord, a freshman from Manhattan, made such an effort after she arrived in Lawrence last fall to begin her first semester as a Jayhawk. Jankord recalls one of her biggest challenges during her first semester, a challenge that many new students face.
Determined to overcome her situation she turned to the Internet. Jankord began to scour through blogs and websites in search of a solution to her problem. Her search first brought her to the 365 Project, an initiative in which participants take one photograph each day for an entire year.

Walker's staff charged with illegal fundraising
MILWAUKEE — Two women who were on Republican Gov. Scott Walker's staff when he was the Milwaukee County executive were charged Thursday with engaging in political fundraising while at work, becoming the fourth and fifth people with ties to Walker charged as part of a corruption investigation.
Kelly Rindfleisch, Walker's deputy chief of staff before he became governor in 2011, is charged with four felony counts of misconduct in office. Darlene Wink, who was Walker's county constituent services coordinator, faces two misdemeanor counts of political solicitation by a public employee.
The charges stem from a Milwaukee County District Attorney's office
During work hours, Rindfleisch exchanged more than 1,000 emails with Walker campaign officials from early February through early July 2010, averaging more than 10 per day, prosecutors contend.

Iran will discuss compromises
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran is ready to revive talks with the U.S. and
other world powers, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday, but suggested that Tehran's foes will have to make compromises on no

the process that makes material for reactors as well as weapons
scuttled negotiations a year ago
and still looms as a potential deal breaker even as tougher Western sanctions target Iran's critical oil exports.
The European Union's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton had welcomed the proposals to restart talks — possibly in Turkey — but urged Tehran to bring "some concrete issues to talk about."
"It it is very important that it is not just about words. A meeting is not an excuse, a meeting is an opportunity and I hope that they will seize it," she said Monday in Brussels as the 27-nation bloc adopted its toughest measures yet on Iran with an oil embargo and freeze of the country's central bank assets.
Russian cargo ship has lifted off
MOSCOW — Russia's space agency says an unmanned cargo ship carrying 2.6 tons of supplies and equipment has lifted off for the international Space Station.
EUROPE
The space station's six members include three Russians, two Americans and a Dutchman.
Roskosmos says the Progress M-14M blasted off early Thursday from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan atop a Soyuz-U booster rocket.
The ship is scheduled to dock at the space station early Saturday with a cargo of oxygen, food, scientific equipment and gifts for the crew.
The decade-old station is orbiting about 225 miles (360 kilometers) above Earth and consists of 13 modules.

Mexican lawmakers suspect spies
MEXICO
MEXICO CITY — A search of several Mexican lawmakers' offices turned up recording equipment, leading legislators to believe they have been spied on for years, a congressman said Wednesday.
Congressman Armando Rios said security personnel found microphones and other devices that seemed to have been installed years ago.
Congress president Guadalupe Acosta, also of the PRD, on Tuesday filed a complaint with federal prosecutors, who opened an investigation.
Rios said the offices of key committees and of several lawmakers from different political parties were bugged.
"Some of the equipment has newer technology, but other devices are from a long time ago, which leads us to believe they were installed years ago," said Rios, a member of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party, or PRD.
"What is at stake is the vulnerability of the legislature, of one of the powers of the union." Rios said.
Acosta wouldn't identify the lawmakers who were being spied on or who he thinks was behind the espionage. Rios blamed the government of President Felipe Calderon, who belongs to the conservative National Action Party, or PAN.
Elephants now poached for meat
ASIA
BANGKOK — Thailand's revered national symbol, the elephant, may face a new threat of extinction: being poached not just for their tusks, but for their meat.
Two wild elephants were found slaughtered last month in a national park in western Thailand, alerting authorities to the new practice of consuming elephant meat
"The poachers took away the elephants' sex organs and trunks ... for human consumption." Damrong Phidet, director-general of Thailand's wildlife agency, told The Associated Press.
Consuming elephant meat is not common in Thailand, but some Asian cultures believe consuming animals' reproductive organs can boost sexual prowess.
Poaching elephants is banned, and trafficking or possessing poached animal parts also is illegal. Elephant tusks are sought in the illegal ivory trade, and baby wild elephants are sometimes poached to be trained for talent shows.
Soraida Salwala, the founder of Friends of the Asian Elephant foundation, said a full grown pair of tusks could be sold from 1 million to 2 million baht ($31,600 to $63,300), while the estimated value of an elephant's penis is more than 30,000 baht ($950).
"There's only a handful of people who like to eat elephant meat, but once there's demand, poachers will find it hard to resist the big money," she cautioned.
EDUCATION
Plan to reduce required credits
MARSHALL SCHMIDT mschmidt@kansan.com
The University's general education is getting revamped to expand learning opportunities and remain competitive with fellow universities. The curriculum rework is part of the greater "Bold Aspirations" strategic plan announced by the provost last year.
The reform aims to reduce the number of general education credit hours from 72 for a Bachelor of Arts to 30 to 40 hours for every KU student, said Professor Chris Haulfer, special advisor to the provost and chair of the chancellor's task force to improve retention and timely graduation. These policies are planned to go into effect for freshmen entering the University during the fall 2013 semester.
"We are reforming the core curriculum to ensure that KU students get the best education possible and to ensure that KU graduates remain competitive with graduates from peer institutions," said Libby Johnson, a senior from Lawrence and student body president. "My hope is that this reform will assist with our graduation in four years rate and with retention."
Those 30 to 40 hours will be designated to achieving six goals laid out by "Bold Aspirations" for educational development and allow students to more easily obtain a minor, double major and explore other classes.
"We are developing more flexibility for students to chart their own course," Haufler said. "Since many programs are so lockstep, students are unable to take advantage of the huge set of options offered at the University."
The ways to obtain these six goals are also flexible, and can be accomplished through a variety of different opportunities.
"These reforms will help students take part in more out of classroom experiences like studying abroad, interning or researching," said Andrew Toth, senior from Colby and member of the Transition Committee, which is responsible for developing the mechanisms of this change further this semester.
SIX GOALS
2. Strengthen written and oral communication
3. Develop a background of knowledge across fundamental areas of study
1. Build core skills of critical thinking and quantitative literacy
4. Gain the ability to integrate knowledge and think creatively
5. Respect human diversity and expand cultural understanding and global awareness
6. Practice social responsibility and demonstrate ethical behavior.
The reforms mainly apply to the liberal arts and science degree programs where the general education requirement is higher. However, the professional schools will still see their students' general education change to incorporate the six goals.
The ultimate goal is to foster students with greater global awareness, appreciation for lifelong learning, and a broader set of skills.
"Part of being a student at the University of Kansas will help you compete better for jobs," Hauler said. "We are building a universal foundation of knowledge, skills, and values for all KU students."
Students are encouraged to give their input through this process by having conversations with faculty, other students and their student government representatives.
Conversation is one of the most important things students can do to make their voices heard," Johnson said.

Mexican restaurants strive to be unique

Salsa replaced ketchup as America's top selling condiment in 2000. More than a decade later, the increasing popularity is evident in downtown Lawrence, which is home to a constantly growing number of Mexican and Latin American restaurants.
Although free chips and salsa are standard offerings for Mexican restaurants, Juarez hopes to attract students by offering free tapas, or small portions of food, in the afternoons with drink purchases. Tapas originated in Spain, but was later adopted by other countries, including Mexico, where they are called "Botanas."
Tapas opened two weeks ago on Massachusetts St., although owner Gustavo Juarez said he initially wanted to avoid opening in Lawrence because of all the competition. After scoping out the other restaurants, he is now less concerned.
"I don't think we have anybody on this street that has the same thing we make," said Juarez.
Tapas has also partnered with its neighbor Tonic to increase business. The popular bar won't charge a boxer fee on Thursday nights if you have a receipt showing you ate at the new restaurant.
restaurant, weren't worried about Downtown Lawrence's other Mexican and Latin American options.
Competition for Tapas, Fuzzy's Taco Shop, opened in October. Unlike Juarez, owner John Records and his son, Spencer, who manages the
Despite the increase in competition, La Parilla has thrived for almost 14 years. Owner Subarna Bhattachan, said any restaurant in Lawrence is a competitor not because of population growth, but because Mexican and Latin American restaurants are always particularly threatening.
Fuzzy's lov key, walk-up to order atmosphere sets it apart from many of the sit-down restaurants, as did the style of food, which Records described as "Baja West Coast."
"We're from Texas, where there's a Mexican restaurant at every corner," Spencer Records said.
Students are still loyal to the restaurant, including Erin Carlson, a senior from El Dorado, who appreciates La Parilla's inexpensive, high quality food. She also has a theory as to why so many Mexican restaurants have recently popped up.
"Normally whenever a new restaurant opens up downtown, for the first six weeks we see business drop off a little bit, but then it comes back again," Bhattachan said. "Our key to staying in business is consistency, the quality of the product."
"Its a really popular kind of food," Carlson said. "You never hear anybody say I hate Mexican food."

So Yong Kim's new family-focused film
PARK CITY, Utah — Have breakfast with writer-director So Yong Kim, tell her how remarkable her new film is, and you'll see her put her menu in front of her face in embarrassment. But hearing compliments on the quietly exquisite "For Ellen" is something the filmmaker is going to have to get used to. It's that good.
The film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week, stars an excellent Paul Dano as the hard-edged and distraught Joby, a twenty-something hipster rock performer who's lived only for his music, on the verge of an unavoidable divorce, has to decide if he can live for something else as well, his young daughter Ellen.

CELEBRITY
When Cindi Leive, editor in chief of Glamour, started working as an assistant at the magazine, Ms.
Charla Krupp, author and editor, dies at 58
Beauty books come and go, traded for younger models. But Charla Krupp's "How Not to Look Old" has remained a bible for women since its 2008 publication.
The book spent 18 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list, sold more than 300,000 copies and inspired Krupp's 2010 follow-up, "How to Never Look Fat Again," which spent four weeks on the best seller list.
Ms. Krupp grew up in Wilmette, Ill., and graduated from New Trier West High School. She then earned a journalism degree with Bronze Tablet honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she was editor of the Daily Illini. She moved to New York to start an internship at Mademoiselle before graduation ceremonies in 1975.
Ms. Krupp, 58, died of breast cancer on Monday, Jan. 23. She was a resident of Manhattan and Sagaponack, N.Y., and was married to Richard Zoglin, Time magazine's theater critic and an author.
Over the next few decades, she wrote and edited entertainment and beauty features at Glamour, InStyle, Shop Etc., More and People Style- Watch magazines. She appeared more than 130 times as a "Today" show contributor and lent support to other women in the media.
Krupp was entertainment editor.
"And I thought she was perhaps the most capital-'F-'fabulous person I had ever met," Leive said. "She got highlights before anyone I knew did. She got her nails done on a weekly basis before anyone I knew got regular manicures.
"There was a signed picture of her and Madonna together on her desk and she had special light bulbs in her lamps and feathers in the decor. I just thought she was the most glamorous person I had ever seen, and nothing I ever encountered of her after that changed my mind."
"But the thing that hit you about Charla when you worked with her was what a hard worker she was," Leive said. "She was this beautiful woman interviewing celebrities, getting fantastic beauty treatments, and yet she would literally be sitting cross-legged in her office chair at 9 o'clock."
A self-described beauty addict, Ms. Krupp loved little luxuries and became Glamour's beauty director.

I am a feminist, but that doesn't mean I've burned all my bras or I hate men (ask my boyfriend.) It doesn't mean I believe we were all birthed from Mother Earth and somehow females are imminently superior to males. It doesn't even mean I think we, as men and women, inherently the same.
Like any life philosophy, there are a hundred and one versions of feminism. In my mind, it's pretty simple. Men and women are different. We experience society, culture and even heart attacks in different ways. Whether you believe in the science that says we think or feel differently, we are biologically dissimilar.
But as people, we're equal. We deserve the same rights and the same opportunities. In this country, we've made enormous steps toward making that a reality beginning back in 1920. Here, unlike many countries, women have the right to vote.
Women can run for office. They can, and do, pursue higher education. They run businesses, raise families and have legal rights to properties and children. In too many parts of the world, women are undervalued, disregarded, or abused. Women are ornaments, property, victims or wards. They are aborted, beaten, enslaved, or oppressed. They often suffer the brunt of war, of tyranny, of violence.
It's easy to look at the U.S. and give ourselves a big pat on the back for having recognized women deserve better.And our accomplishments should be applauded and modeled.
But we must recognize our nation is not the end-all and be-all when it comes to women's issues. As times progresses, issues become about more than suffrage or violence. They incorporate unpaid labor, discrimination in the workplace, sex

Self-determination is a tenuous idea. What happens when a certain group decide they want to break away from a mother nation? That question is being asked right now in the United Kingdom.
The nation that previously owned the 13 colonies could lose yet another part of its dominion. Scottish independence has been a cornerstone policy of the ruling party of the Scottish parliament, the Scottish National Party. But now it appears that rhetoric will give way to decisive action.
On January 10th, the Scottish Secretary announced that Scotland's parliament would discuss a proposed referendum on Scottish independence to be held in the fall of 2014. The prospect of Scottish independence raises many issues, ranging from politics to Britain's nuclear deterrent force. In the end, if the Scottish people legally vote on a properly conducted referendum to become the newest independent nation in Western Europe, they should be allowed to as a sovereign nation.
Even though the Scottish people have been in union with England since 1707, they have always seen themselves as different from the English. The English are Anglo-Saxons and the Scots lineage comes from Celtic backgrounds. Scottish voters have always felt unrepresented by English political aspirations and part of the property, not part of the leadership. While the Scottish Parliament has certain legislative power, the Parliament of the United Kingdom maintains a wide range of reserved legislative power over it.
There are several issues which make Scotland independence an illogical way forward. First and most problematic is the fact that the current British nuclear deterrent force is based in Scotland. If Scotland were to become an independent nation, it could be possible that the nuclear deterrent force of one nation would be within the territory of another sovereign nation.
Also, Scotland has a population of 5.2 million and an estimated GDP of $^{c139.7}$ billion, quite a bit lower than the GDP of $2.48$ trillion of the United Kingdom. Why would Scotland willingly break away from that sort of economic power? Scotland would also lose many of the welfare benefits of being part of the United Kingdom. Most importantly, they would lose British funding for the NHS Scotland, which is a branch of the greater National Health Services system.

However, if the Scottish people feel that despite all of the reasons against independence, that they have the right to decide in a referendum, the future of their nation, they should do so. I understand that this would take away British territory and any loss of GDP is bad for a nation's economy. However, if it is the will of the nation's people, they should be allowed to determine their national destiny through the peaceful voting process. We can all agree that this is a much better means to an end than violent rebellion. Democracies that champion the power of the vote, have laid the seeds of this self-determination process.
Unlike attempted independence in places like South Sudan, there will be no bloodshed in the Highlands even though currently it is a political mess. For one, the Scottish parliament doesn't have the power to hold such a referendum, because a temporary transfer of power from the British government is required. Furthermore, only about 30 percent of Scottish voters want independence from the United Kingdom.
There are several logical reasons why Scotland shouldn't seek independence; they would knowingly cripple the banking power and economic growth they currently experience as part of the United Kingdom. They'd also cripple themselves militarily, losing their current nuclear deterrent.
Whether in the end, Scotland has full independence, greater autonomy or neither, what is certainly clear is that Scottish voters should have the right to decide their nation's future. As a separately sovereign people, they have the right to vote on the destiny of their land. In the past two years, the world has seen many government overthrows and independence movements, most of them at the cost of human life. This is a benchmark for the world on how to decide the fate of a nation through the power of the peaceful voting process.

FOOD
Adding spice to your meals
Mexican food is a universal crowd pleaser. I love making it at home because it's fairly easy and always delicious. Our Americanized version is pretty far from any dish you'd find in Mexico, but I'm not going to go out and advocate that you all attempt an authentic Mexican feast just yet.
I've incorporated my favorite part of Mexican food into all of these recipes: the spice. I add Siracha to just about anything and I've been known to eat hot peppers straight out of the jar. So it's no surprise I enjoy plenty of hot ingredients in my cooking as well.
For those of you less familiar with the different types of peppers and their spice levels, I've assembled a selective list of the more common peppers available and ranked them based on their placement in the Scoville Scale named after its creator Wilbur Scoville. This scale rates peppers from 0 to over 1,000,000 based on their capsaicin levels which is the active element that makes chilli peppers spicy;
Red, Green, and Yellow Bell Peppers: These peppers contain no heat so they are a 0 on the scale. Peppercini's and Banana Peppers: 100-900.
Anaheim and Poblano Peppers: Anaheims are long and lighter green, and Poblanos are a deep dark green almost the same size as a bell pepper; these peppers are fairly mild ranging from 1,000 to 3,000.
Red and Green Jalapeños: One of the most popular peppers used especially in Mexican food: Usually around 5,000, but it can range anywhere from 3,500 to 8,000.
Serrano Pepper. Looks like a slightly smaller, dark green jalapeno but much spicier ranging 10,000 to 25,000.
Habanero Pepper: A tiny little guy that comes in a wide variety of colors but hits at 150,000-350,000. Yum!

commonly known: Ghost Pepper. This pepper from India holds the world record for hottest pepper with its Scoville index ranking over 1,000,000. (If you come across one of these, DO NOT eat it)
A hint: the majority of the spice in a pepper is held in its seeds so if you wish to bring down the heat simply remove some or all of the seeds before preparing. Remember, always wash your hands after dealing with the insides of hot peppers, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, etc. I want you to enjoy these recipes not be injured by them. And for those of you that prefer mild flavors, you can stick to the mild varieties or just omif the peppers all together. But hope some of you take the adventurous route and try some of the hotter ones. It's not a great meal unless your mouth is on fire the whole time, right?

GUACAMOLE
3-4 avocados, cut in half lengthwise around the pit, take apart, remove
1-2 tomatos, diced
1/3 of a red onion, diced
2 green jalepeno peppers, de-seeded and diced
Juice of ½ a lime
Gilantro, to taste, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Smash avocados in a large bowl, add all the other ingredients and stir until evenly blended.
CHILI TOFU MUSHROOM TACOS
1 package milt cord
small corn or flour soft tortillas
1 package button mushrooms
2 small red peppers, diced
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
(You can use a pre-made seasoning
or any spice mix of your choosing.
I like to use a combination of chili,
cayenne, cumin, and garlic pow-
der.)
Crumble tofu and chop mushrooms. Saute together in a pan with olive oil over medium-high heat with the seasoning and a few dashes of hot sauce. Serve in tortillas with cabbage, scallions, sour cream and cheese.
3 tablespoons olive oil
Hot sauce, to taste
Shredded cabbage
Scallions, chopped
Sour Cream
Shredded cheese
SALSA VERDE
1/2 of an onion (red or yellow)
3-6 green peppers, depending on size and pungency (I like to use both Anaheim and Serrano in this salsa)
4 tomatilos (They look like green tomatoes with husks on the outside.)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic
cilantro, to taste
salt, to taste
For a fresher, raw approach you could simply chop all these ingredients finely and put in a bowl but I like to put the peppers, tomatillos, and onions on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and roast in the oven at 400 degrees until you see them starting to get slightly brown crispy spots, this makes for a much more flavorful salsa. Then I take my roasted ingredients, garlic, and cilantro and blend in a food processor or blender until smooth, then add salt.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I can't help but say that I was slightly disgusted with Jacob Moffitt's article about Tim Tebow. I too, have been irritated and overwhelmed with all the hype surrounding Tim, but realistically, how does his agenda differ from any other celebrity? If Lil' Wayne and Wiz Khalifa can promote drug use; Ke$ha and Pitbull can promote drunkenness; Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton can promote sexual promiscuity; and the entire cast of Jersey Shore can glorify all of the above, then how could it be so wrong that Tebow writes "John 3:16" on his eye blacks?
Now, I'm not hating on these
celebrities because they usually play a part in my Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in some way or another. But which one of those people do you think I'd want my little sister looking up to? For once, somebody isn't standing on a street corner shouting, "God hates fags," or picketing the funeral of a fallen soldier "in the name of Christianity."
No, instead, Tebow simply bows on his knees before and after each game thanking God for his phenomenal talent. How is his "Tebowing" different from every other player that performs a ritualistic, and sometimes ridiculous, touchdown dance after scoring? It's freedom of expression. man, even though it's considered "religious".
The media has built him up on such a high pedestal that we're all watching his every move waiting for him to slip up and "let you down." That's not fair.
I really hope I'm not perceived as a Bible-beating, God-fearing, right-wing fanatic because I'm not. I'm just another guy who would promote and defend something if I believed it would have a positive effect on somebody else.

KANSAS TIPOFF
AT A GLANCE
Kansas is on a 10 game winning streak and has yet to lose in the Big 12, coming into Ames at 7-0 in the league with at least a two-game lead on everyone else. On the road in conference play, the Jayahwks are 3-0 with an average margin of victory of 16.3 points. Defense has been the key for Kansas in the Big 12. They currently lead the conference in scoring defense, giving up just 60.4 points per game. They also lead the Big 12 in scoring margin, field goal percentage defense, rebounding and blocked shots. In the previous meeting with Iowa State, Kansas trailed at halftime by three and found themselves down double digits in the second half before breaking away late in the game to win 82-73. The Jayahwks haven't lost to Iowa State since Feb. of 2005.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Jeff Withey, center
A number of players have said that Withey is a key component for the Kansas defense. His shot blocking abilities often intimidate opponents who seem to think twice when driving to the lane.
Withey
Taylor said Withey's presence allows the guards to play much more aggressively on the perimeter with the knowledge that Withey is behind them for support. He had eight blocks against Iowa State earlier this month and is averaging 4.4 blocks per game in Big 12 play.
Will Tyshawn Taylor continue his hot streak?
The senior point guard was inconsistent for most of the first half of the season, but his first game against Iowa State was the first of many impressive performances and the victories have followed. He had 28 points against the Cyclones the first time around and is averaging 22.3 points per game in the three games since. He's also leading the team in three-point shooting percentage, but said that's nothing more than an added luxury. He said he's best when attacking the rim, and in the last four games he's done that with relative ease.
QUESTION MARK

As noted, Taylor has played as well as anyone in the conference the last four games. He's committed just two turnovers the last two games while adding 39 points and is shooting an impressive 45.7 percent from behind the three-point line. If the high level is kept up, a First Team All-Big 12 and possible All-American selection aren't out of the question.

Releford
Known more for his defense, Releford is also capable of having a big night offensively. Against Oklahoma on Jan. 7, he exploded for 28 points while missing just four shots. That's more of an outlier, and Releford's game will be judged on defense and hustle more so than his offensive numbers.

ELIJAH JOHNSON, GUARD
★★★☆☆
★★★★
The senior guard is averaging 10.7 points per game this season and played 35 minutes in the first meeting with Kansas. He was four-for-seven from the field against the Jayhawks with 10 points. He had double figures in points the first five Big 12 games but has struggled of late, finishing with just nine points in his last two contests.
Johnson can score easily at times but has his fair share of quiet games. He's had under five points on three occasions in the Big 12 schedule and he is shooting just 28.8 percent from the three-point. Self said he's a better shooter than the numbers show and Taylor said Johnson needs to attack the basket more and let the three-pointers come later.

Witheley leads the Big 12 in blocked shots with 31, nearly doubling anyone else on the list. His game has developed tremendously from last year and he has a newfound offensive game to pair with his defensive prowess.

CHRIS BABB, GUARD
Babb was held scoreless in 34 minutes of action in the first meeting with Kansas. He was 0-for-8 from the floor, six of which came from beyond the 3-point line. He's averaging 9.3 points per game this season and has reached double digit points in three Big 12 games. Those were in his first three games, however, and he's averaging just 4.5 points his last three games.
★★★☆☆
★★★☆☆
THOMAS ROBINSON. FORWARD
The former Michigan State guard has had a successful debut season in Ames, averaging 12.1 points while playing less than 30 minutes per game. Much like Christopherphon, Allen struggled in his last time out in the 62-55 loss to the Texas Longhorns. He had just three points on 1-for-9 shooting.
ROBINSON
Robinson is one of the leading candidates for the National Player of the Year Award and for good reason. He's averaging a double-double with 17.8 points and 12.0 rebounds per game, but struggled against Iowa State in the first meeting. He had just 11 points on 4-for-10 shooting.
MELVIN EJIM. FORWARD
One of the few non-transfers on the Iowa State roster, Ejim is similar to most of his teammates in that he scores around 10-12 points most games but is more than capable of having a letdown game offensively. In the first meeting with Kansas, Ejim had 12 points and six rebounds but shot just 30 percent from the floor.

White had a monstrous game against Kansas earlier this month. He had 18 points and 17 rebounds and was nearly unstoppable for most of the game. He's a first team All-Big 12 candidate and is one of the toughest match ups in the country with his size and ability to handle the ball on the perimeter.

Prediction:
PLAYER TO WATCH
Royce White, forward
Kansas and Iowa State meet for the second time this season on Saturday afternoon, with the Jayhawks winning the first matchup, 82-73 on Jan. 14 in Allen Fieldhouse. The first meeting was controlled by Iowa State for much of the game, as they led by double digits in the second half before a Jayhawk comeback sealed the deal. The Cyclones are 4-3 in the Big 12 and 14-6 overall, but have dropped three out of their last five. Three of Iowa State's six losses this season have come against ranked opponents and only two losses have come at home. Bill Self called the Cyclones an NCAA tournament team, and they're one of only five Big 12 teams with a winning record in conference play. Coach Fred Hoiberg brought in a bevy of transfers that are finally getting a chance to play after sitting out last season, and the future looks bright for Cyclones fans.
White
IOWA STATE TIPOFF
AT A GLANCI
White is one of the most versatile players in the Big 12. Listed at 6-foot-8 and 250 pounds, he is more of a point forward, as he often brings the ball up the
Kansas 68, Iowa State 63
court to start the offense. He's nearly averaging a double-double with 13.4 points and 9.6 rebounds a game. In the first meeting with Kansas, White had 18 points and 17 rebounds and Kansas never really figured out how to stop him. His size and ball handling ability make him a tough matchup for any opponent.
HEAR YE HEAR YE
"You want your losses to hurt, then put it behind you and start focusing on the next one."
QUESTION MARK Will 'Hilton Magic' reappear?
— Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg on bouncing back after a loss.
Hilton Coliseum has seen some remarkable upsets for the Cyclones over the years. Former Kansas forward and Player of the Year Danny Manning never won a game in the coliseum, and the Cyclones have had numerous undefeated home seasons there. However, Bill Self hasn't lost to Iowa State since the 2004-2005 season and he hasn't dropped a game in the coliseum since the 2003-2004 season. As Self noted at his weekly press conference Thursday afternoon, the Coliseum will be as loud as ever as the No. 5 Jayhawks come to town.

White leads his team to another rebounding parade and the "Hilton Magic" is too much to overcome.

THE MORNING BREW The interesting sport of race walking
As I was thinking about what I wanted to share with you guys this week, I recalled an interview I heard with NBC sportcaster Bob Costas during the Olympics. He was asked what the most ridiculous sport was that he had to cover.
By Jonathan Rosa
jrosa@kansan.com
His response?
Race walking.
You're probably asking the same questions I asked myself when I heard this: Did he really just say "race walking?" What is that?
It didn't take long before I found myself on YouTube looking for footage of this so called "race walking" and let me tell you, I made it maybe five seconds before I burst out into laughter. Honestly it looks like someone really, really has to go to the bathroom, and is using every muscle in their body to hold it in. If you're going to put that much effort into walking, why don't you... I don't know, run? I've seen people walking and people running, but never have I seen someone attempt to run and walk at the same time. It's like an awkward human trot.
But wait, it gets better.
It turns out this is an Olympic sport, and has been since 1904. The rules are pretty simple. According to USA Track & Field, the walker must always have a foot in contact with the ground and must straighten their front knee when their foot makes contact with the ground. Judges are placed around the track to report any violations by
eye, which I find pretty funny because how can you really tell if the knee is straight?
Recently, America's most popular race walker (slight sarcasm there), John Nunn, earned his ticket to London for the summer Olympics later this year. The 33-year-old, who averages 100 race-walking miles a week, won the US 50K Race Walk Trials in 4:04:38, averaging about 7:50 seconds per mile. That's pretty amazing when you consider some people can't run a mile in that time.
Personally I think this sport should be getting a lot more coverage when this year's Olympics rolls around. I have yet to figure out why this sport, which as been around for as long as it has, rarely receives any recognition. So to Bob Costas, thank you for bringing race walking into my life. Now I know I have a good go-to when I'm having a bad day and need a good laugh.
KU
Now for you avid race walkers out
there, let me just say I know I seem to be making fun of this sport, and you're right, I am. However I'm well aware that this is a legitimate sport that involves a lot of training, technique and skill. But as a spectator, I challenge you to go watch some race walking and try to take it seriously. Trust me, it's not easy.
And for those of you who are thinking, "Boy oh boy, I want to enter in one of these races, but I don't know where to sign up." Well, you're in luck because every year the International Association of Athletics Federations hosts a World Race Walking Cup. This year the competition will be held in Russia with a first place prize of $30,000.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Security costs continue to rise for summer Olympics' host.
Immaculate in a navy suit and pink shirt, Cross painstakingly filled out forms
LONDON — The pay isn't great, the job is temporary and you could be a target for terrorists. But when Mabel Cross heard that she might be able to work at the 2012 Summer Olympics, she rushed to get to a London recruitment center early.
Thursday in hopes she could be part of a vast new Olympic workforce. The recruitment effort at a school just outside the Olympic stadium in East London is the most visible signal yet that organizers are ready to stop building arenas and start delivering sports events.
"I wish I could be successful," the 52-year-old said in a voice just above a whisper. "I would be so interested to
work for the Olympics."
Some 10,000 security guards are needed and organizers have already received three times that number in applications from around the country. The guards will work alongside British police and the military to deliver a robust — and expensive — security operation involving about 23,700 people.
Planners are also moving to finalize security, ticketing
and transport plans despite a series of setbacks that have pushed costs higher.
"We're switching from planning stuff to really doing it," said organizing committee chief executive Paul Deighton.
While Britain's total cost for the event remains at 9.3 billion pounds ($14.6 billion), auditors say there's little wiggle room for the unexpected. The budget for the
games is "finely balanced," with less than 0.4 percent of the total left to cover unforeseen expenses, the National Audit Office has said.
If anything unexpected and expensive happens, Olympic officials will have to ask British taxpayers, already struggling in tough economic times, for more money. Paying more for the games would not enhance their popularity among a public
already angered by a complex, computerized ticketing system that was riddled with glitches and left many people unable to attend.
Part of the reason for the budget worries is that security costs have continued to rise. British officials last month doubled the funding for security operations at venues, raising overall security costs to more than 1 billion pounds ($1.6 billion).
London Olympic organizing committee chief Sebastian Coe assured The Associated Press in an interview that the games were on track and will stay in the black.
"Occasionally some things are slightly more than you expect," he said, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

COMMENTARY Taylor is Kansas' no.1 key
By Matt Galloway
mgalloway@kansan.com
Thomas Robinson is the undisputed face of this Kansas men's basketball squad. Yes, fans have always loved the junior forward for his budding talent, his electrifying dunks and his NBA superstar potential. But it took a tragedy, the death of his mother Lisa Robinson just over a year ago, for Robinson to become Kansas' favorite son.
But while Robinson may receive the most adoration, he is not the most important player on this incarnation of the Jayhawks. That honor belongs to the man who at times has been the red-headed stepchild of the Kansas community: Tyshawn Taylor.
Monday's surprising slugfest with Texas A&M would have had a much more sour outcome than the ultimate 64-54 Kansas win had Taylor been the turnover-prone, groan-inducing guard from earlier this season. Yes, Robinson finished with a team-high 18 points, but 10 of those points came from free throws. Taylor was a much more efficient 6-for-9 shooting with 17 points and, more importantly, only two turnovers. Robinson finished with five.
Taylor had more 3-pointers (3-for-6) than teammates Conner Teahen and Elijah Johnson combined (0-for-9). Johnson forced several momentum-killing shots, at times looking like the new old Tyshawn Taylor. But make no mistake: it was the new Taylor who bailed his Jayhawk teammates out of a humiliating home loss on Monday.
One game is a small sample size, but Taylor has been a revelation since the start of conference play. Aside from an eight turnover blunder against Kansas State, Taylor has had more than four turnovers only one time. In his last two games against Texas and Texas A&M, he has had only two turnovers. And back-to-back career-highs of 28 points led the Jayhawks to big wins against Iowa State and Baylor.
Unfortunately, Taylor's recent hot streak includes an all-too-common Twitter tirade on Jan. 6 in which he said his critic's criticism was invalid because they "can't ball." "I'd appreciate y'all criticism more but y'all can't do stuck to being a fan," Taylor wrote, then quickly deleted. While that defense is absurd, it hard to imagine being in his shoes in one aspect. He has hundreds of people constantly criticizing his every move online, most behind the guise of anonymity. It's hard to fault him for lashing out, no matter how illogical the response is.
For the Jayhawks to have any shot at a national championship, they need to get six consecutive games out of good Tyshawn. The fact that it seems like a real possibility that the twice-suspended senior guard could string those games together is a credit to just how far he has come.
It is also a testament to coach Bill Self, who seems to have the patience of Job.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Kansas faces Griner and nation's top squad
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmmarthy@kansan.com
If you haven't seen Brittney Griner yet, you're missing out.
The 6-foot-8 center from Baylor continues to dominate women's college basketball as she's midway through her junior year season.
It's not just because of her height. It's not just her ability to dunk, a rarity in women's basketball.
It's her incredible reach on defense that has opponent's game planning around her.
"She's ridiculously talented of intensively," said Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson. "I'm not trying to discredit her on that end, but
lyn Davis, who will be matched up with Griner for almost the entire game.
"You have to steal possessions and not give them extra possessions."
Both Davis and Griner are natives of Houston, so dealing with Griner on the court is nothing new.
"The fact that she can alter so many without coming really far outside the paint," Davis said. "The defensive pressure she has and the presence in the paint makes everyone not want to go for those shots that you usually want to take."
This weekend, the Kansas women's basketball team will have the daunting task of defending Griner and the No. 1 Lady Bears (19-0, 6-0 Big 12) on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Waco, Texas.
she is more impactful on the defensive end."
With a wingspan of over seven feet, three inches, Griner consumes any basketball that comes inside the paint. She leads the NCAA with 5.3 blocked shots per game.
Over the past five years, Davis competed against Griner; she has
Bonnie Henrickson COACH
The layhawks (16-3, 5-2 Big 12) must rely on their own post player, 6-foot-3 junior forward Caro-
"Just the way she can run the floor," Davis said. "You would think of someone with that stature of 6'8" wouldn't be
able to run, but she can run the floor just as well as any other big. I think her ability to adapt to the women's game as much as she has and her ability to grow as a player, she's changed a lot since her freshman year."
seen vast improvements in her game.
The defensive end is not the only place where Griner makes an impact, he also does an excellent job of making open shots. Currently, she is eighth in the country averaging 22.7 points per game.
"She can shoot over you with her length," Davis said. "You can double-team her, you can triple-team her, but sometimes she'll
make those shots. It just one of those things where you have to respect a certain player will make those shots."
What's overlooked about Griner is her court vision. She looks for the open player more often than not, which makes her a more dangerous player.
"It would be different if she was selfish," Henrickson said. "It would be different if she wasn't a good passer, but if you put those two things together on top of how talented she is, she's like a really, really good point guard. She can get everyone else involved."
One of the other players in charge of double — and sometimes triple — teaming Griner will be 6-foot-2 senior forward Aishah Sutherland. Like Davis, Sutherland understands Griner is a special player who needs close attention.
"I've seen that's she's gotten stronger," Sutherland said. "She's able to run the floor better than she did when she first came to the Big 12."
Regardless of how demanding this game will be for Kansas, the team has to play an almost perfect game to get by Griner and the Bears.
"You have to steal possessions and not give them extra possessions," Henrickson said. "Griner doesn't miss a lot of shots but when she does, we have to make sure we defensive rebound."

CONCEALED AND CARRYING
University campuses may be forced to allow firearms
RACHEL SALYER
rsalyer@kansan.com
A bill in the Kansas House of Federal and State Affairs Committee would allow concealed carry permit holders to bring firearms onto college and university campuses.
The committee heard testimony Wednesday and Thursday on House Bill 2353, introduced by Rep. Forrest Knox, R-Altoona.
Under the current law, public and private buildings may prohibit entry of permit holders' firearms with signs posted at every entrance, which the University currently does.
According to the new bill, public places would not be able to prohibit firearms by licensed carriers unless it had "adequate security measures," including security guards and metal detectors at all public entrances.
The University and Kansas Board of Regents oppose the bill.
"The safety and security of our campus community is a top priority." Jill Jess, University Director for News and Media Relations, said. "However, we at KU agree with the Board of Regents and all university police chiefs in Kansas that concealed carry on campus will not increase security and public safety."
Since May 2007, 385 deaths occurred by killers with concealed carry permits, according to the Violence Policy Center's website, which updates the tally monthly.
In 2010, 12,996 homicides occurred by firearms, according to the FBI's website.
When comparing the two numbers, Dillon Barnes, a senior majoring in psychology from Maple Hill, Kan. thinks there is very little risk of a concealed carry permit holder abusing his firearm.
"There is a bad apple in every group," Barnes, a concealed carry permit holder, said. "People who want to get a gun illegally will find a way to do so, whether it's legal to carry a firearm or not."
Barnes regularly takes his firearm with him in public, and would take his gun on campus if the bill passed. Barnes believes allowing permit holders to bring their firearms on campus would help improve personal safety.
"People don't know that they're already around carriers. Because they are concealed and there hasn't been any problems with them, people don't even notice," Barnes said.
On behalf of all university police chiefs in Kansas, Richard Johnson, Director of Public Safety, wrote a letter to the board of regents, stating their opposition for the bill.
"It is our firm belief that allowing weapons on campus would significantly increase the risk of danger and tragedy, and not make anyone safer.
Many supporters of the bill believe it is their constitutional right to carry firearms in public under the Second Amendment.
It should not be assumed that the limited training persons licensed to carry a concealed weapon receive, will enable them to react in a safe, reasonable, and legal manner during a volatile situation," Johnson said in his letter.
However, Richard Levy, University School of Law professor of constitutional law, does not think current interpretations of the amendment call for concealed carry on campus.
"I don't think there is a strong argument under the law as it stands that it is required by the state to allow concealed carry in public places under the Second Amendment," Levy said.
Levy said the original interpretation of the amendment was the right to bear arms for militia purposes, but in 2008 the Supreme Court ruled individuals have the right possess firearms for personal protection under District of Columbia V. Heller.
"The Second Amendment didn't create conceal and carry," Levy said. "The Second Amendment doesn't tells us if you have the right to have the weapon on your person, or which places it is and isn't okay to have a weapon."
Levy thinks if the bill passes it would be difficult to have it overturned.
Following the hearings, the committee will decide to favorably recommend the bill to the house or not.
A bill similar to House Bill 2353 passed the House last year, but failed to gain traction in the Senate.
Governor Sam Browback's office said he has not made a public decision on whether he would sign the bill into law or not if it passed.

Cyber criminals may be people you know
MARSHALL SCHMIDT
mschmidt@kansan.com
According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, many young couples share email and Facebook passwords to show their affection. However when considering ways to develop intimacy, these couples should be using greater protection.
"They're sharing things about themselves that they shouldn't, and they should consider the long term implications of giving someone such access to their online life," said Julie Fugett, network security architect for the University and an alumna. Married for ten years, Fugett and her husband have not shared their facebook, banking, or KU ID passwords.
"Cyber security isn't just about credit information or social security numbers, it's also about your privacy and personal information," said David Day, communications coordinator for the University.
Day said that one of the simplest ways to remain secure is to keep track of personalelectronics, such as laptopstablets and cell phones.
Brett Gerstenberger, information technologist for the University, said that theft of electronic devices is the most common crime on campus. "Students leave their devices in the library while going to the
bathroom, and they end up stolen" he said.
Gerstenberger also added that it is important to lock devices when left unattended, and report them missing as soon as possible. If a cell phone is stolen, the owner can contact their service provider to erase the data on the phone.
Students also need to protect their information on social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter. Gerstenberger said that users should regularly check their privacy settings to limit outsiders' access to their information.
"If you don't know a person, do not friend them," he said.
According to Gerstenberger, another way people compromise their privacy on the internet is by clicking on suspicious links and advertisements that introduce malware to the computer.
Also students should not use public, unsecured computers for activities that involve personal bankaccounts and other private information.
“There’s no such thing as a free iPad.” Gerstenberg said.
Finally, stu
dents should update their computer software regularly and install anti-virus software. The University offers students free SOPHOS anti-virus software, which can be downloaded at security.ku.edu/ antivirus/. Also, KU Information Technology posts cyber security tips on its facebook page, facebook. com/besekure.
"Once it's online, it's online forever," Gerstenberger said. "If your identity is stolen, it usually takes forty hours of your life to recover your identity."
Gerstenberger says that taking time to think about cyber security can prevent the inconveniences that come with cybercrime.

Gingrich discusses ethical issues surrounding in vitro fertilization
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUTZ, Fla. — Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich called Sunday for a commission to study the ethical issues relating to in vitro fertilization clinics, where infertile women receive treatment to get pregnant and large numbers of embryos are created.
"I if you have in vitro fertilization you are creating life. And therefore we should look seriously at what should the rules be for clinics that do that because they're creating life," said Gingrich, who opposes abortion and says life begins at conception.
Gingrich, who is campaigning for votes in Tuesday's Florida primary, did not expand on his proposal for a commission. His remarks seemed to open the possibility of a larger federal role over IVF clinics across the country than

President Barack Obama, who supports abortion rights, jettisoned Bush's restrictions on federal funding for stem cell research after taking office.
In vitro fertilization involves creating an embryo outside a woman's body, then implanting it inside the womb. Excess embryos may be stored at the clinic, discarded, used for research or made available to other couples. A study nearly a decade ago estimated there were as many as 400,000 in existence.

Police stop violent protest with force
DHAKA, Bangladesh Police fired guns and used batons on crowds of stone-throwing opposition activists in several Bangladesh towns Sunday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 100, a news report and doctors at two hospitals said.
The opposition party said 1,200 of its activists were arrested, but the figure could not immediately be confirmed.
The main Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its key Islamist ally Jamaat-e-Islami are demanding an independent caretaker government oversee elections. The government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina scrapped the 15-year-old system last year, saying it contradicted the constitution.
The opposition, led by Hassina's archrival former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, says elections will be rigged if held under the current government and without a caretaker system in place.
Two men died from bullet wounds at a government hospital in the eastern town of Chandpur, physician Mahundunqui told The Associated Press by phone.
They were shot by police who fired at a procession of protesters trying to march forward by breaking a police barricade, the United News of Bangladesh agency said.
Separately, a youth died and four people with bullet wounds were being treated at a government hospital in Laxipur, another eastern town, said doctor Mohammed Nizam Uddin.

"The only thing we know is that he is safe and he is in a secure location." Patterson said by telephone.
It was not immediately clear whether a ransom had been paid to secure his release, though many companies working in the region carry kidnap insurance and simply pay a negotiated price to see their employees freed. Kidnappers had made contact with authorities previously and demanded a $333,000 ransom.
The attack Jan. 20 occurred outside a bank branch in Warri, one of the main cities in nation's Niger Delta. The gunmen attacked Ock as he came outside, shooting his police escort to death before abducting him, Muka said.

Fire at rehabilitation center kills 26
LIMA, Peru — A fire swept through a two-story private rehabilitation center for addicts in a poor part of Peru's capital Saturday, killing 26 people and critically injuring six.
The "Christ is Love" center for drug and alcohol addicts was unlicensed and overcrowded and its residents were apparently kept inside "like prisoners," Health Minister Alberto Tejada told The Associated Press.
Six men rescued from the building were hospitalized in critical condition, said Peru's fire chief, Antonio Zavala.
The local police chief, Clever Zegarra, said the cause of the 9 a.m. fire was under investigation.
"There has been talk of the burning of an object, of a mattress, but also of a fight that resulted in a fire. All of this is speculation," he told the AP. "I've been here at the scene from morning to evening but for the moment the exact cause of the fire is not known."
One resident of the center on a narrow dead-end street in Lima's teeming San Juan de Lurigancho district said he was eating breakfast on the second floor of the center when he saw flames coming from the first floor, where the blaze apparently began.
Gianfranco Huerta told local RPP news radio station that he leaped from a window to safety.
"The doors were locked, there was no way to get out," he told the station.

Summit addresses technology reforms for classroom use
ELISE REUTER
ereuter@kansan.com
Faculty and students met last Friday to discuss improving technology use in University classrooms. The meeting, called "Harnessing Information and Multiplying Knowledge," was the fourth summit in the "Bold Aspirations" program.
The "Bold Aspirations" program focuses on improving four themes at the University: transportation and energy, information technology, health and wellbeing, and building and sustaining communities. It plans to use the ideas from summit meetings
to create a strategic plan for each.
Sum m i t attendees specifically proposed using technology to make the classroom learning environment more hands-on with critical thinking.
The summit also suggested setting up a high-performance computing facility for University researchers, increasing bandwidth and incorporating more social media strategies to enhance classroom experience. "I feel like technology is being woven into everything," Anrenee Reasor, a freshman from Thayer, Kan., said. "My econ teacher uses a Twitter hashtag to answer questions outside of class."
Blackboard as a classroom tool, but summit attendees encouraged further technological expansion. The program strives to find ways to use technology already at students' fingertips to change the traditional classroom format.
"I think most students are hungry for an interactive analysis of information, not just regurgitating the information."
LEONARD "KRIS" KRISHTALKA Summit planning committee co-chair
"I think most students are hungry for an interactive analysis of information, not just regurgitating the information," Leonard "Kris" Krishtalka, co-chair of the summit planning committee said. "We want classes to discuss why a subject matters, or how to think about it, instead of just delivering straight information."
Students already use
Besides participating in summits, "Bold Aspirations" has conducted research to improve ideas to better the University's technology use.
The program has created outlines for collaborations between different departments and hiring additional faculty that can carry out the program's missions.
"The plan over the next few years is for KU to hire 62 new faculty concentrating on the ideas in these four summits," Krishtalka said.

JERUSALEM — The budgets are bare-bones and the talent pool is limited, but Israel has emerged as a surprising powerhouse in the foreign film industry.
It's an indication to the renaissance of Israeli cinema, which has grown from a fledgling industry with poor cinematography and low box office sales to a darling of world film festivals. That's in spite — or perhaps because — of the country's troubled international reputation, due to its lengthy conflict with the Arab world.
The Israeli film "Footnote," up for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film this year, is Israel's fourth such nomination in the past five years, giving Israel more nominations during that period than any other country.
"Ajiami," the 2010 nominee, centers on Arab-Jewish tensions in a violence-ridden neighborhood near Tel Aviv.
This year's nomination went to an Israeli film featuring a more internal conflict — two professors of Talmud, a father and son, dueling for academic prestige and a coveted national prize.
"It's a badge of honor for Israel," said Moshe Edery, producer of "Footnote," at a news conference after the Oscar nomination. "It's Israel's best business card around the world, especially these days."
MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 2012
Israeli cinema was long an embarrassment. Cheap comic melodramas were the norm in the 1960s and 1970s. Called "borekas films" — the Israeli equivalent of spaghetti Westerns — they dealt with ethnic stereotypes of European and Middle Eastern Jews.

Communication skills are deteriorating
HUMOR
The art of conversation is slowly disappearing as email and text become a preferred method.
I don't want to sound conceited, but I'm a pretty good conversationalist. I'm fairly witty and sometimes even enthralling. I can hold your attention, and I'm extremely tactful. Most importantly, I can personally guarantee that I will make you laugh at some point during our conversation.
Unfortunately, I'll never hear that laugh. It will be sent to my phone as a series of electronic frequencies and will read either "haha" or "lol."
By Ethan Lovell
elovell@kansan.com
My powers as a conversationalist are extremely limited. They don't apply to most real world situations. Ladies, if you bring me home to meet your family, I won't be able to charm your mother with my dashing good looks and smooth compliments, and I won't be able to win over your protective father with well-told tales of my high school football glory days.
But none of that matters, because I probably won't be able to win your heart in the first place, unless your favorite form of communication is texting, and you prefer the strong, silent type.
Perhaps the answer for me is to seek out a long distance relationship. Maybe what I need is a blind text hook-up with the friend of a friend who goes to school in
Tennessee. Maybe that will give me the opportunity to show my true colors before she encounters my fatal flaw. Sure, the first time we meet in person is bound to be awkward, with me stuttering, attempting to answer her questions in a coherent manner, and attempting to hold back nervous tears.
If you currently think I'm all sorts of pathetic, let me explain to you the advantages of my condition. We've entered the age of texting. Yes, verbal communication is still around, and even quite popular in some cultures, but I am the communicator of the future. As the era of face-to-face conversation dies out, I will rise from the ashes of those less skilled in the art of texting.
For those of you who think I have little chance of surviving in the professional world, fear not: I'm also quite skilled at emailing.
So, I'll put up with the taunting for now. I'll watch the funny, engaging guy get the girl every time, even though he's slightly less handsome than me. I'll put off dating and friendship for a few years. I still have Chat Roullette to keep me company, even though I skip to the next person automatically when someone tries to start a conversation with me.
Additionally, I can post a memo on the office bulletin board and scurry away to my corner office faster than the guys from LMFAO can do the shuffle.
Long story short, I'm not ashamed of my condition. Okay, I'm slightly ashamed of my condition. More importantly, though, I'm hopeful for the future. When the rise of texting has withered away the communication skills of those around me until they are as decept and impersonal as mine, I'll finally be the alpha male. I'll probably even run for president. So, all the single ladies out there, put your hands up. And try to slip me your cell phone number during class so I can shoot you a text later.

Point, Counterpoint: Controversy surrounds parts of the recent National Defense Authorization Act
On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act. Under this law, the U.S. government can indefinitely detain people who participated in the September 11 attacks or members of terrorist organizations.
The National Defense Authorization Act has already been passed and signed into law, but one particular section is still getting a lot of attention, and rightly so.
By Kelly Cosby
kcosby@kansan.com
Portions of the NDAA authorize indefinite detention of suspected terrorists. The bill includes vague language that is so flexible in nature that it could be used to intern individuals who are part of movements who have some goals similar to violent terrorist organizations, but use peaceful means in order to bring about political change (Amnesty International, Jan. 5).
The bill also stipulates that individuals held at Guantanamo Bay who are exonerated must be kept in custody if there is any case of detainee recidivism in the exonerated detainee's country, which essentially holds each individual responsible forth exactions of another citizen of his or her country (Congressional Research Service, Jan. 11).
There are no geographical limitations that prevent people from being detained far from the battlegrounds of war, which also provides possibilities for abuse.
This bill provides funding for Veteran's Affairs, funds suicide prevention program, ensures all deployed service members receive multiple individual mental health assessments, and instructs the Department of Defense to research and report on identifying and treating post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.
President Obama signed the bill into law with "serious reservations." He had the opportunity to take a firm stance supporting human rights and veto the NDAA despite the fact that it would be overridden; but because of political pressure and the recent lack of cooperation from across the aisles he made the decisions to compromise. While I support compromise in some situations in which it awards to greater beneficial productivity, President Obama should not have compromised here.
In recent days, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas has been pushing support for a repeal of Section 1021 to prevent what he calls the possibility of American citizens being detained indefinitely. Regardless of whether or not the ambiguous language could be applied specifically to U.S. citizens in future administrations, repealing this section is a necessary protection of human rights.
RESPONSES:
(Jacob's arguments are in italics. Kelly's responses are below.)
Mr. Keplar is absolutely right. There
RESPONSES:
are numerous aspects of the NDAA that authorize the funding for programs indispensable for our military, particularly those for veterans' healthcare and suicide prevention. The bill also addresses response to sexual assault in the military, which needs attention. That value cannot be denied
If President Obama had vetoed the bill, it is likely that his veto would not have hampered any of these programs. In that sense, it would not have prevented indefinite detention at a fundamental level, either; this is because the bill likely had enough votes to override a veto. President Obama's veto still would have meant something, however, in the sense that he would have made a stronger statement about the value of protecting human rights as well as the practice of adding controversial sections to an otherwise important and passable piece of legislation, something of which individuals both parties have been guilty.
The bill also provides funding for counterterrorism operations including the offering of rewards, assisting countries whose militaries are also combating terrorism, instructs the Department of Defense to assess and report on money given to Pakistan for its assistance during Operation Enduring Freedom and funds and supports special operations forces.
In an ideal world, the clauses related to indefinite detention would not have any bearing on whether or not individuals stood in support or against a bill funding the military. It is important to remember that any opposition to the NDAA or support of a veto because of the indefinite detention clauses is not an anti-soldier stance or a dismissal of the value of providing our troops with important services. On the contrary, such opposition to the NDAA is in support of human rights.
Kelly Cosby is a senior in political science and English from Overland Park.
When President Obama recently signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act, criticism of his decision began immediately. Most of this criticism has been centered on only one section of the act and failed to recognize the many parts of the NDAA that are both useful and necessary.
Although the war in Iraq has ended and the withdrawal from Afghanistan has already begun, many veterans and current service members still require, and will so for some time, medical care and mental health treatment. The NDAA funds the Defense Healthcare Program which provides medical services for active duty military personnel.
A study conducted by the Center for New American Security and later presented to Congress showed that suicides in the military have spiked in recent years, particularly in the Army. Funds for suicide prevention programs and mental health assessment were appropriated in the NDAA. The act also instructs the Department of Defense to research and report on methods of identifying and treating post-traumatic disorder and traumatic brain injury. Military and veterans' healthcare will be crucial over the next few years and the NDAA provides funding to address this issue.
In last week's State of the Union Address, President Obama reiterated America's commitment to stopping Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The NDAA imposes financial sanctions against Iran, including its central bank, in an effort to place further pressure on the Iranian government.
In President Obama's recently announced strategic guidance, a greater emphasis will be placed on the Asia-Pacific region. In keeping in line with the president's new strategy, the NDAA instructs the Department of Defense to review the military capabilities of China and North Korea and report on their findings.
In order to continue combating terrorism, the NDAA funds several counterterrorism efforts including the offering of rewards for information, assisting countries who are battling terrorism in their own countries, and funding for special operations forces. The act also orders of review of money given to Pakistan for its help in Afghanistan.
Bills like the NDAA are critical to provide the health care that many veterans will need. The flaws in the bill are small in number and can be addressed separately now that President Obama has signed the NDAA into law.
RESPONSES:
(Kelly's arguments are in italics. Jacob's responses are below.)
Section 1031 of the National Defense Authorization Act includes vague language that

is so flexible in nature that it could be used to intern individuals who are part of movements who have some goals similar to violent terrorist organizations but who use peaceful means in order to bring about political change. It also stipulates that individuals held at Guantanamo Bay who are exonerated must be kept in custody there if there is any case of detainee recidivism in the exonerated detainees country, which essentially holds each individual responsible for the actions of any other citizen of his or her country.
The possibility of abusing the powers provided by the NDAA is certainly a very valid concern. But these powers are likely to disappear as they are already being challenged.
The American Civil Liberties Union vowed to fight the bill immediately after its signing. Ron Paul recently took a day out of his campaign and returned to Washington where he introduced a bill that will repeal section 1021 of the NDAA, the section that provides the government with an expansive authority to detain individuals. Even though President Obama signed the NDAA into law, he claimed he had serious reservations about the bill and signed statements promising never to use the authority given to him and his administration.
President Obama had the opportunity to take a firm stance supporting human rights and veto NDAA, but because of political pressure and the recent lack of cooperation from across the aisle, he made the decision to compromise. While I support compromise in situations in which it leads to greater productivity, President Obama should not have compromised here.
Between the President's signed statements and recently introduced legislation by Ron Paul, the authority provided by the NDAA is unlikely to ever be used. In order to pass these important pieces, politics, not common sense, included one section into the bill that provides the government with an over-reaching authority. But with the opposition to this section, it is likely that section 1021 will ultimately be repealed.

GAME TO REMEMBER
Tyshawn Taylor, senior gaurd
Taylor recorded his first double-double of the season with 16 points and 10 assists. He airballed a three-point shot early in the game, and the Iowa State student section didn't let him forget it. He ignored the jeers and gave Kansas an offensive threat that it so desperately needed. He continued to protect the ball, surrendering only two turnovers in a high pressure atmosphere.

GAME TO FORGET
Thomas Robinson, junior forward
13 points and seven rebounds is a solid outing for most forwards, but Robinson isn't most forwards. He seemed rattled in the paint, traveling several times. He couldn't help slow down Iowa State sophomore forward Royce White and he admitted after the game that he just wasn't playing like himself. He'll look to get back on track against Oklahoma on Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

MEN'S BASKE Cyclones upset No.5 Kansas
KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
Ames, Iowa — For the second time this season, Iowa State proved to be a matchup problem for Bill Self and his Jayhawks. But unlike their pervious meeting in Allen Fieldhouse, the Cyclones used their advantage to capture a 72-64 victory in front of a sold out Hilton Coliseum crowd Saturday afternoon.
In the first matchup, Iowa State out-rebounded Kansas 46-38 but lost the game, 82-73. This time around the Cyclones came out ahead in both instances.
"Their whole team crashed the glass," Junior forward Thomas Robinson said. "And their guards are good rebounding guards. It makes them a good rebounding team."
The Cyclones out-rebounded
Kansas 36-23, led by sophomore forward Royce White who grabbed nine. It was a total team effort, though, as five different Cyclones players had at least four rebounds in the game as opposed to just two for Kansas: Robinson and junior center Jeff Withey.
"The reason they got us on the boards is because I just thought they outmanned us," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "When your guards combine for four rebounds for the game and they shoot long shots, that's a bad sign."
Self said he was especially impressed with junior guard Tyrus McGee, who tallied just one rebound but kept plenty of balls alive, securing extra possessions for Iowa in the process.
Kansas trailed in the rebounding department 20-13 at halftime but was down just three, 37-34 at the break. In the first 3:07 in the second half, baskets by every Jayhawk starter gave the visitors a 45-39 lead despite the rebounding woes.
It was the biggest lead they would hold in the game.
More Iowa State hustle shrunk the lead before the Cyclones eventually took a two-point advantage with just more than six minutes to play, which they never relinquished
Self said when the team controls 70 percent of the so-called "fifty-fifity" balls, his team is pretty good. When they don't, they quickly turn into an average squad.
"We didn't steal any extra possessions today." Self said. "Iowa State was much quicker to the ball than us."
Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said he looks at rebounding as an "energy stat," and Hoiberg seemed proud of holding Kansas to just five offensive rebounds as well as his plus-13 rebounding margin overall.
"That was such a huge key for us coming into this game," Hoiberg said. "What kept us in the game down there was doing such a good job on the boards. That was such a big thing for us."
Iowa State senior guard Scott Christopherson, one of just two seniors to play Saturday, was credited by White and coach Fred Hoiberg with the leadership and maturity needed for the upset. He also added four rebounds but credited his teammates for another solid effort against Kansas this season.
"This is the second time we've played Kansas," Christopherson said. "And both games our bigs did a heck of a job against some of the best frontline players in the country."

Dixon, track team shine at Jayhawk Classic
MAX GOODWIN
mgoodwin@kansan.com
Sophomore Diamond Dixon, an All-American spinner, was nervous going into the 400-meter dash on Friday. The Jayhawk Classic is by no means the biggest meet of the season, but Dixon was racing on the same track as professional spinner Monica Harrove.
The talented young sprinter had nothing to be nervous about. She not only ran faster than Hargrove, she set the fastest time in the NCAA this season.

Her time of 53.75 converts down to 53.05 because it was ran on an unbanked surface.
There were a total of 14 individual Jayhawks to win event titles, as well as a Kansas sweep of the four relay races.
Another NCAA leadingmarkwas set by Andrea Gebelle in the triple jump. Her jump of 13.20 meters placed only third in the competition behind professionals Crystal Manning and Kimberly Williams. The jump still stands as the leading triple jump in the NCAA.

"It really prepared me for some bigger, professional meets and hopefully the Olympic Trials. It definitely helped push me today, which was awesome." Geubel said of competing with professional athletes.
"it's great to get that record and fun to have my name here for a little while," Stowe said. "We have a lot of good girls coming up, so who knows how long it'll stick."
"The thing about pole vaulting is you always end on a miss, that's what makes you want it so bad," Payne said after the competition.
"We're starting to get in really good shape but, unfortunately, I'm never satisfied" Coach Stanley Redwine said following his team's overall successful day.
Brebek Stowe, senior distance runner, broke the Anshutz Pavilion record winning the 3,000 meter race in a time of 9:37.70.
The Kansas female athletes were victorious in the pole vault as well; Sophomore Demi Payne won the competition with a jump that ranks 10th in the NCAA this season. On her last attempt Payne appeared to be just inches from clearing a bar that would have put her in the NCAA top five.

Heat grab victory in rematch of Eastern Conference Finals
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — LeBron James scored 35 points, while reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose wasted two chances in the final 23 seconds and the Miami Heat escaped with a 97-93 win Sunday over the Chicago Bulls.
Chris Bosh scored 24 points and added 12 rebounds for the Heat, who never trailed — but this win in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals was not easy. Dwyane Wade added 15 points for Miami.
Rose scored 34 points for Chicago, but missed a pair of foul shots that would have given Chicago the lead with 22.7 seconds left. He had made all 29 of his free throws in the fourth quarter this season.
And Rose had a shot to tie in the final seconds, but his short jumper bounced off the rim.
Bosh sealed it with two free throws with 0.1 seconds left for Miami, which has now won five straight over the Bulls — counting
the last four games of last season's East title series.
Both sides said this game was supposed to be just another regular-season matchup, one without extra meaning.
The Bulls erased what was a 12-point defied and tied the game at 84 on a brilliant layup by Rose with 6:55 left. The Heat answered with a 10-2 run, before Rose's three-point play with 49.1 seconds left cut the lead to 94-93.
So not true.
Rose then lost the ball on a drive, but drew contact from Miami's Udonis Haslem and went to the line with Chicago down one with 22.7 seconds left. Rose's first hit the front of the rim and bounced away, and his second rimmed out. James grabbed the rebound and was fouled by Joakim Noah — only to miss both free throws himself.
After the second miss, Bosh appeared to emerge with the rebound, but an inadvertent whistle led to a jump ball. James out-leaped Taj Gibson, getting the ball to Mario Chalmers, who made one
Chicago wound up getting one last chance with 9.9 seconds left, calling time-out. Naturally, it went to Rose, who weaved his way into the lane — but came up short. Bosh got the rebound, and Miami began celebrating.
The Bulls played without forward Luol Deng and guard C.J. Watson, both sidelined with wrist injuries. Watson may be back in Chicago's lineup as early as Monday, and Deng — who has a torn ligament in his left, non-shooting, wrist — is "very close" to a return, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.
Rip Hamilton and Noah each scored 11 for Chicago, which got 10 apiece from Ronnie Brewer and Carlos Boozer.
Miami took an 11-point lead early in the fourth on back-to-back 3-pointers from Shane Battier and James. The Bulls roared back, as they did for most of the day whenever the Heat seemed on the cusp of taking control.

They just never got the lead, despite Rose's best efforts.

On Thursday, word spread that Missouri fans planned to wear t-shirts that displayed the

letters "NMT," meaning "No Mom Tom" during the Feb. 4 match-up with Kansas in Columbia. The phrase is reference to the passing of Thomas Robinson's mother in January of last year.
However, like most rumors started on Twitter, there is little truth to these claims, even though it spread wildfire.
The phrase originated on the popular Missouri message board
called Tigerboard.com, but the widespread use of this reference to Robinson appears to be misconstrued amongst the Jayhawk faithful.
"There have been a total of eight posts using the phrase 'No Mom Tom' or the abbreviation 'NMT' referring to Thomas Robinson directly on this board," Tigerboard.com operator Nick Witthaus said.
The acronym for Robinson made its first appearance on the board in November of last year, and every subsequent post has been reported and deleted from the website. Despite the bitter nature of the rivalry between Kansas and Missouri, the use of the phrase "NMT" was met with entirely negative reactions from the Missouri posters on the board.
There was only one mention on Tigerboard to the production of "NMT" t-shirts, and it did not come from a user that frequents
Just like the previous seven times, the "NMT" reference to Robinson was reported and deleted, but the word had already made its way around the Jayhawk fanbase.
"The t-shirt rumor was posted on the 26th from a first-time poster who registered about half an hour before the post was made. That poster was using an IP address reserved for an apparel company in California," Witthaus said.
the message board.
The well-known faction of the Missouri student section, "The Antlers," issued a tweet on Thursday in an attempt to bury the rumor.
"We aren't making any signs, shirts, billboards or keychains with a "NMT" slogan. That's below us," the tweet read.

the offensive end, he struggled to establish himself and find comfort in the paint, traveling repeatedly and missing several shots that were uncontested and close to the hoop. He even missed a wide-open, one-handed dunk, and the ball sailed over the rim.
"I'm just not playing my game," he said. "I'm speeding up again and not taking my time."
White might have had something to do with that. He has the ability to bring the ball up-court like a point guard on one possession, then muscle his way inside for a tough two points on the next. His mobility and ball control are rare for a 6-foot-8, 270-pound weapon. It's a combination that forced the
Jayhawks into some touch decisions.
"We had to pick our poison," senior guard Tyshawn Taylor said. "It felt like whichever way we tried to trap him, they made a shot that we laid off."
In a three minute span at the end of the game, White scored eight straight points for the Cyclones. He first backed down junior center Jeff Withey, who was plagued with fouls throughout the game. Once Withey failed, White took on Robinson, who also wasn't able to shut him down.
"Nobody really plaved well." Self said. "But Thomas certainly labored today."

"I really just let the game come to me," Harper said. "I wanted to do my best for the team and help them out any way I could."
Angel Goodrich also finished in double figures with 10 points and added eight assists. She hit two-of-three from beyond the arc.
Freshman guard Asia Boyd hit a three pointer late in the game. They were her first points since Dec. 28 against Sam Houston State. Boyd entered the program as the highest ranked recruit under Bonnie Henrickson, but has yet to play significant minutes.
Kansas has a quick turnaround before they host Oklahoma on
Tuesday night. Henrickson said the main things they need to work on are limiting turnovers and increasing on-ball pressure.
Harper said Oklahoma is a good opportunity for the Jayhawks to bounce back and play a good game.
"There are times when we beat ourselves and didn't control what we could to control and that's stuff you have to learn from," Henrickson said.
"The biggest thing is taking care of the ball and defending," Harper said. "We've just got to forget about this one and move on to the next one."

CLINIC
Special Olympians in the Phog
C. J. MATSON
cmatson@kansan.com
Allen Fieldhouse was a sight to behold Sunday afternoon, but no game took place inside the historic venue.
A day after leaving Ames, Iowa,
dejected because of a loss against
Iowa State, the Kansas men's basketball team was full of smiles when they hosted the 28th annual Wilt Chamberlain Clinic.
The Wilt Chamberlain Clinic is an event when a hundred Special Olympians from all across the state of Kansas and the Kansas City metropolitan area gather inside the Fieldhouse to play basketball with the team.
The money to fund the event was left in Chamberlain's estate.
With the basketball hoops lowered, the players ran stations that included shooting, dribbling, passing and dunking, arguably the most popular station of all. The Special Olympians also competed in five-on-scrimmages.
Taking time away from a tough schedule to interact with the Special Olympians is an opportunity that players and coaches cherish.
"This is a highlight for all of us," coach Bill Self said. "We lost a game that we probably deserved to lose, but we had every opportunity to have a different outcome, and these guys lift our spirits today."
JESSICA JANASZ /KANSAN
Self also said that working with Special Olympians was great because everything seemed unconditional. The love that the Special Olympians gave to the team made him think that they received more out of the clinic than what the Special Olympians themselves received out of it.
The smiles and laughs from the players, coaches, Special Olympians and parents of the Special Olympians inside the Fieldhouse were contagious. Hosting the event made players like Tyshawn Taylor put this gathering into perspective.
"It is a humbling situation for all of us." Taylor said. "There is such a bigger picture out there. Basketball is something we love to do, and it is recreation."
"Any time you sacrifice your time for the good of others that may have been dealt a difficult hand is something that everyone should do regardless of what you do or who you are representing." Self said.
Freshman guard Naadir Tharpe helps one of the athletes shoot the ball at his station Sunday afternoon. This event was the 28th Wilt Chamberlain Basketball Clinic and gave the Olympians autographed team pictures and commemorative basketball
"It's a blessing," Robinson said. "You can come out here and make someone's day. That's all that matters. These kids can go home happy. They support us all year-round, so to go out there and make them happy is definitely a big thing."
Thomas Robinson once said publically that basketball was an escape for him after he tragically lost his mother, grandmother and grandfather. Basketball was also an escape for the Special Olympians who try to overcome unique and difficult obstacles.
When Taylor was asked what advice hed give to the Special Olympians who are presented difficult challenges and must overcome adversity, he said to believe in yourself, stay as strong as you can and remain positive because it is tough when people doubt you and tell you that you cannot do certain things.
The coaches and players recognize that being a member of the Kansas men's basketball team means more than just coaching and playing basketball. It is an honor that many people don't possess. Giving back to those who are not as fortunate is essential, even if you are not a basketball player or coach.

"Things we could control a little bit — standing in there, taking a charge instead of backing away and hitting somebody legally in a box out — could have made a big difference in this game," he said. "The good news is we can control those things in the future, hopefully."

Ohio State focused on going inside far more than the Wolverines did. Maybe that explains the disparity in free throws.
Lenzelle Smith Jr. scored 17 points and had a career-high 12 rebounds to lead the Buckeyes. All-America forward Jared Sullinger was limited by foul trouble but had 13 points. William Buford and Deshaun Thomas each had 12 for Ohio State, which ran its winning streak over its archrival to six straight.

The Buckeyes finished 15 of 18 at the line while Michigan didn't shoot a free throw until there were just over 2 minutes left, making 3 of 4 for the game.

SUPER BOWL
Protests could persist during the Super Bowl
INDIANAPOLIS — Facing a legislative vote that would make Indiana a right-to-work state, alarmed union members are thinking about making their case on perhaps the nation's biggest stage — the Super Bowl.
Labor activists are deciding whether to go ahead with protests that could include Teamsters clogging city streets with trucks and electricians staging a slowdown at the convention center site of the NFL village. What's holding them back is a fear the effort could create a backlash from those who think sports and politics don't mix.
"The last thing the city needs is a black eye," said Jeff Combs, organizing director for Teamsters Local 135 in Indianapolis, one of the unions-discussing strategy. Union locals are awaiting guidance from the Indiana AFL-CIO before deciding what to do.
The debate about tactics reflects the desperation of organized labor as the Legislature prepares to vote on the right to work measure, which would ban union contracts mandating that workers pay dues for representation. Republicans, who see the bill as an advantage for recruiting businesses to the state, outnumber Democrats 60-40 in the House and 37-13 in the Senate. Indiana would become the 23rd state with a right-to-work law and the first in 10 years to pass the measure.

Weather greets team's first spring practice
ANDREW JOSEPH
ajoseph@kansas.com
ajoseph@kansan.com
The 2012 campaign for Kansas baseball officially began Friday afternoon with the first practice of the spring season at Hoglund Ballpark.
"I think we're just really excited to get started. It's been a long two and a half, three weeks with the individuals, and the weather has been incredible," coach Ritch Price said.
Last season, the baseball team spent the days of practice shoveling pounds of snow off the turf of Hogland Ballpark, but this year practice started differently. With some unusually warm winter conditions, the team was able to stretch and throw outside.
"We feel really fortunate with the way the weather has been with the opportunity to get outside," Price said.
The warm weather forecasts for the upcoming days should give
Kansas even more chances to prepare for the season in ideal baseba conditions.
The Jayhawks ended the 2011 season with a 26-30 record, failing to qualify for the Big 12 Tournament. This year, Kansas welcomes back six starters and the core of the starting rotation.
Price is in his 10th season at Kansas and holds a record of 299-250-2, and he named pitcher Jordan Jakubov, infielder Chris Manship and infielder Jake Marasco as
captains for the 2012 season. The Jayhawks will travel to Nashville, Tenn., opening the season against Middle Tennessee State on Feb. 17.

Tiger falters in final round
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Tiger Woods talked all week about his improved ball control — then it let him down when he needed it most.
Woods resembled the Tiger of old over the first three rounds at the Abu Dhabi Championship, stringing together a trio of rounds below par before shooting an even 72 in Sunday's finale to finish in a tie for third place behind winner Robert Rock and U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy.
The 117th-ranked Rock shot 70 for an overall 275 to beat McIlroy (69) by a shot. Woods was a further shot back with Thomas Bjorn (68) and Graeme McDowell (68). The 18-year-old Italian Matteo Manassero (69) and George Coetzee (70) of South Africa were another shot back.
"Today I just didn't give myself enough looks at it," Woods said. "Most of my putts were lag putts. +didn't drive the ball in as many fairways as I should have ... It was a day I was just a touch off the tee and consequently I couldn't get the ball close enough."
The 14-time major winner appears to have recovered from a two-year victory drought in which he was sidelined by injuries and personal turmoil. But Woods must now face the fact that, at age 36, there are plenty of players — known and unknown — who can potentially beat him.
"There's plenty of big events to go, but I'm pleased at the progress I've made so far," said Woods, who won the Chevron World Challenge last month to end his drought. "I just need to
keep building, keep getting more consistent, and today was a day where I putted beautifully. Just didn't give myself enough looks."
Coming into Sunday, Woods was tied for the lead with the unheralded Rock and was the clear favorite to win. Rock had only one victory under his belt compared to 83 for Woods worldwide, but it was Rock — battling his nerves over playing alongside one of his golfing idols — who held it together down the stretch.
"It's pretty hard to believe that I managed to win today. Very surprised," the Englishman said. "I played good. So I guess I had a chance from early on, a couple of birdies made the day feel a little bit easier."
"But it's difficult playing with Tiger. You expect almost every shot to threaten to go in. It felt a lot of pressure and couldn't afford any lapses in concentration at all."
It was a storybook ending for Rock, who rose from a club pro to join the European Tour in
2003 and only got his first tour win last year at the Italian Open. The victory will elevate him into the top 60.
"It doesn't get an awful lot harder than playing with Tiger Woods," Rock said. "So I guess barring a major championship, I know I can handle that again. So that's pretty nice to know."
"I was just focusing on trying to hit fairways and then hit my iron shots as good as I have been and give myself chances at birdies," Rock said. "Both Tiger and Peter struggled on occasions on a few holes and I managed to keep my ball in the right position and didn't put myself under too much stress until the last, which was a relief."
Rock wobbled on the 18th when his drive landed in a pile of rocks near the water — forcing him to take a drop — but he recovered beautifully, reaching the green in four and two-putting for the win.

THE MORNING BREW What to follow before the Super Bowl
Everybody watches the Super Bowl. Everybody.
But for most sports nerds out there like myself there's more to it than the Bud Light commercials and chatting with friends at a party.
By Ryan McCarthy
rmccarthy@kansan.com
So for all you diehard NFL fanatics, here are some things to look out for this week that might catch your attention on your television, laptop or smart phones.
1. MEDIA DAY (TUESDAY)
There's nothing quite like the scene of thousands of reporters asking 106 premier athletes about what their Super Bowel experience will be like. There are always a few laughs, there are always a few pranks, but above all else it's just a circus.
My predictions: The Giants will have fun with the day like most teams do. Except for Chad Ochocinco, the Patriots will come out and have a boring media day as always. Especially since Ochocinco is not playing much, the eccentric receiver will take this opportunity to get more attention and Twitter followers for himself.
2. PROP BETS
I'm not much of a gambler myself, but I always enjoy looking at the prop bets for the Super Bowl. They add a little fun to the game, mainly when all the Super Bowl
Sunday hype is happening (e.g. The super-
long pregame and the halftime shows).
Here are some of my early favorites for the game:
- How many times will Peyton Manning be shown during the game? (over/under 3.5 times)
- How many times will David Tyree's 2008 Super Bowl catch be shown on television during the game (over/under 1 time)
- One of my all-time favorites, what color is the Gatorade going to be when it's dumped on the winning coach. (This one's almost impossible to predict.)
Prop bets are entertaining because they provide funny storylines to look at leading up to the game.
3. SUPER BOWL'S GREATEST COMMERCIALS, WEDNESDAY, 7 P.M., CBS
If you can't wait until Sunday to get your commercial fix, then go and rewatch the classics. CBS consistently does an excellent job of mixing the old with the new for this special.
You can stroll down memory lane with some of the great ones. The mean Joe Greene Coca-Cola commercial, the chameleon Bud-weis-er commercials, and of course the first-ever E-trade baby commercial.
4. ROB GRONKOWSKI'S ANKLE INJURY
Since ESPN, NBC, and every other major sports network will be camped out in Indianapolis this week, the major story until Friday will be the status of Patriots' tight end Rob Gronkowski's ankle.
We've seen these go both ways in the past. In 2011, Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey said last year that he was going to play after suffering a high ankle sprain in the AFC Championship Game, he ended up sitting out Super Bowl XIV.
Two years ago, Dwight Freeney also had an ankle injury that got more attention than the President's State of the Union address. He ended up playing, but wasn't able to do much against the Saints.
So get ready football fans, it will be Gronk watch 24/7 for the next week. I think he'll end up playing and be pretty effective.
KU
5. Live studio shows on-site
The Indianapolis Star came out with a solid story on Saturday, discussing all the live studio shows that will be in their city this week.
It won't be nearly as fun to watch as last year in Dallas when all the hosts of the shows froze their butts' off in the North Texas late winter.
Still there's plenty of good stuff to watch on the television. Bob Costas will be debuting his "Costas Tonight" show on NBC Sports. He'll have NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell and hall of famer Dan Marino on.
ESPN's NFL Live will be there all week to over analyze the matchup. This show is great background noise for an afternoon nap.
And finally, my personal favorite, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon will be camped out in Indianapolis Wednesday through Friday to give you some comic insight on Super Bowl week.

COMMENTARY
Kansas should still have its sights on the Final Four. How did last year's Final Four teams fare in conference road games?
Life on the road is tough
Virginia Commonwealth — best muttered under the breath followed by several curse words — lost road games at Georgia State, Northeastern and Drexel in conference. Not exactly elite programs.
The way a team finishes its season plays a much larger role in how it fares come tournament time. Three of the four Final Four teams last year won their conference tournaments.
I say: the bigger teams in last year's Final Four also struggled in conference road games.
Perhaps the best thing about college basketball is that each team controls its destiny. Keep winning and you'll keep playing. You can't be left behind by computers or uninformed voters.
Quality teams, even ones with an extremely thin bench like Kansas, will lose road games against lesser opponents in conference play. It's not quite as reliable as death and taxes, but it's pretty close.

Teams play NCAA tournament games on a neutral court for a reason.
By Clark Goble
cgoble@kansan.com
Edited by Pat Strathman
Losing a road game in conference, like the Jayhawks did in Ames, Iowa on Saturday, means little.
The harsh reality, though: college basketball's regular season isn't all that important in determining a national champion.
Here's one: the 2008 national champions, Kansas. That year, the Jayhawks lost road games to Texas, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Texas and KSU made the tournament; OSU made the NIT.
Butler lost four times on the road in the Horizon: to UW-Milwaukee, Wright State, Valparaiso and Youngstown State, which finished 9-21 overall.
So let's not turn Saturday's loss into some kind of tragic blow that proves Kansas can't hang with the big boys. One lackluster effort on the road in a hyped environment, in the bigger scheme of things, means nothing.
You say: those teams are mid-majors. Hard to fairly compare teams from the CAA and the Horizon to teams from BCS conferences.
Connecticut dropped five games on the road in the Big East: to Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, St. John's, Louisville and West Virginia. Tough teams, certainly, but the Huskies finished 5-5 on the road.
You say: that's just one year. Last year was a fluke.
I say: let's assume Kansas loses two more conference road games and keeps winning at Allen Fieldhouse to go 15-3 in conference. The Jayhawks lose two out of these three games: at Missouri, at Baylor and at Kansas State.
Kentucky lost six games on the road in the SEC and finished with a 10-6 conference record.
Is there another team that lost three road conference games — one to a fringe NCAA tournament team like Iowa State — and went undefeated at home?

Ames, Iowa — Royce White, Iowa State's sophomore forward with a full menu of skills, woke up on Saturday morning after having nightmares of missing free throws.
"It becomes like an island up there when you're on a bad streak," White said of his struggles at the free throw line.
So he went to the gym early and shot free throws with his coach, Fred Hoiberg. White's teammates encouraged him the entire day, even during the game, and he made the shots when they counted most.
With 1:42 left on the clock and Iowa State leading No. 5 Kansas by three points, White drained his final two shots from the line.
After one of his six converted free throws. White walked from the free throw line to underneath the hoop, then looked up at the net.
"That was for Thomas," he said of junior forward Thomas Robinson. "He said I was going to miss them."
White, who tallied 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists, not Robinson, the national player of the candidate, who was the best player in Saturday's 72-64 upset over Kansas (17-4, 7-1) posting 18 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
The Jayhawks' 23 fouls resulted in 34 free throw attempts for the Cyclones. Free points stung Kansas, especially after it was outrebounded 36-23.
"Royce was a monster down there," Holberg said.
Rojee was a monster down there. Holberg said.

No.1 Bears too much for Jayhawks
KATHLEEN GIER kgier@kansan.com
Last week the Jayhawks talked about tweaking their offense and defense to face Brittney Griner and the Baylor Bears. Carolyn Davis stepped out for a series of 19-foot jump shots and CeCe Harper hit two three pointers as Kansas worked in this adjusted game plan.
However, No. 1 Baylor was up 20 points at the half and with a 10-4 run out of the break, it easily defeated Kansas in a 74-46 victory in Waco. The Jayhawks fell to 16-4 overall and 5-3 in conference play.
"We killed ourselves," coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We didn't pressure the ball and that is such a big part of post defense and even more magnified with her."
Junior forward Carolyn Davis extended her range with three jumpers at the top of the key. She improved this part of her game to score over Griner.
I knew I was good enough to knock that down and be successful," Davis said. "I was just trying to be confident and grab the ball when it came to me."
"I had been practicing a lot and
the first 10 points and blocked two shots for Kansas in those first eight minutes, but sat out the remainder of the half.
Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner entered the game for Davis and was met with a quick block from Griner. Gardner, Tania Jackson and Aishah Sutherland worked in the post, but they were outscored 54-20 in the paint. Griner finished with a game-high 28 points and shot 12-for-15 from the field. The Jayhawks were also outrebounded 46-29 and allowed 14 second chance points.
The Jayhawks switched between a man-to-man and diamond-and-one defense in the hopes of slowing down the Bears' attack, but Baylor's balance proved too much for Kansas.
"You get nothing inside and you are shooting tough twos and threes and she is standing under the rim so then they just throw it up to her and score," Henrickson said.
"It was just too many easy opportunities when we break down

REDEFINE DESIGN
A CREATIVE COMPOSITION
KELSEY CIPOLLA
kcipolla@kansan.com
Submitting a piece of art, poetry or prose can get more than a good grade in your class. If you submit it to Kiosk, the student-run magazine that has been showcasing undergraduates' creative talents for the past 20 years, it can be published.
Every semester, a staff of students collects and judges submissions, develops a theme and designs the magazine all while working closely with the printer to make sure their efforts produce the final product they envisioned. Staff members must also make sure they have the necessary funds to produce the magazine, which usually come from Student Senate.
The long process that goes into making each semester's issue of Kiosk is mirrored in the next issue's theme, "The Creative Process."
"Besides finished artwork, we also collected sketches, doodles
and other process work," Lauren Schimming, Kiosk's art director and Wichita senior, said.
The magazine provides students with a valuable opportunity to share their work with the local community Schimming said.
It also gives student staff members an opportunity to broaden their creative horizons.
Amanda Hemmingsen, Kansas City senior, began working on the magazine last spring as a way to get more involved in the poetry community.
"Its definitely given me a sense of different kinds of aesthetics that go with writing a poem and how varied they are," Hemmingsen said.
John Stringer, Kansas City, Mo,
senior, always picked up a copy of
Kiosk to see what his peers were
creating but never submitted any
work until last semester. Kiosk 45
will feature several pieces of his art-
work, which he is both anxious and
excited to see published.
"There is always something a bit nerve-wracking just before an event where your work is to be shown," Stringer said. "When you put so much of your heart into an endeavor, the results can become precious. The opinions of others take on a lot of weight."
Kiosk is accepting submissions for the next issue now through Feb. 16. To submit an entry, email your work to thekioskmagazine@gmail.com.
The new issue will be unveiled at a launch party at the Spencer Museum of Art Thursday at 5:30 where some of the authors will be reading their work. Issues will also be available at the Student Senate office, School of Architecture, Design and Urban Planning and English department offices, as well as campus libraries, local bookstores and art galleries.

Redistricting could change University's representation
REBEKKA SCHLICHTING
rschlichting@kansan.com
For the past 10 years, the University of Kansas has been split into two Republican districts; west campus is represented by Lynn Jenkins in District 2, while the main campus' representative is Kevin Yoder from District 3. The split district means that the University has received double the representation in the Legislature, but recent redistricting will consolidate Lawrence district two, which could affect the University.
"When KU or Lawrence needs something in the Legislature, instead of having one member who's looking out for them, they have two," said Michael Lynch, professor of political science.
Because the most recent Census showed a change of population in Lawrence , the state must go through
the re-apportionment process to ensure that every district is equal in both population and representation in Congress.
Every state has a different method of re-apportionment. For example, in Iowa, the nonpartisan Legislative Services Bureau decides the boundaries of the districts. In Kansas, the decisions are made by the state Legislature, which is currently dominated by Republicans.
"When the Republicans control it, they don't want Democrats to win, so the House of Representatives' districts are small," said Ronald Francisco, professor of political science. "They gerrymander, but they don't gerrymander as much as other states do."
Other states have had problems with gerrymandering. After Texas' population grew by 4 million in the last 10 years, the Republican-dominate state drew the districts to
divide the growing Latino population, who primarily voted Democrat. Kansas is in generally a Republican state, but in the 2008 election, Douglas County voted 64.1 percent Democrat, 33.4 percent Republican and 2.4 percent other, according to Douglas County's website. The fluctuating majority makes gerrymandering more difficult.
"Lawrence has been Republican and Democrat and then back to Republican, so different people have different ideas of how you should look at communities in terms of being more or less Democrat," said Clay Aurand, vice chairman of the House Standing Committee on Redistricting.
Despite less representation in the state Legislature, Lynch said, "I view it as being generally positive for Lawrence in the last 10 years and for KU".

Deep sleep important for students' health
"Sleeping helps you be more productive throughout the entire day," Leigh Sanders, a junior from Stamford, Conn., said. Sanders usually gets between nine and 10 hours of sleep and said a comfortable bed and avoiding caffeine help her sleep at night.
"It's important to set enough time aside to sleep," Keeler said. She also says students should aim to get at least eight to nine hours every night in order to achieve a minimum of three deep-sleep cycles, known as REM sleep.
HEALTH
According to WebMd, REM — rapid eye movement — occurs after four stages of deeper sleep and 90-minutes after initially falling sleep. The first REM cycle lasts for ten minutes and includes vivid dreaming, muscle paralysis and eyes darting rapidly beneath the eyelids.
MARSHALL SCHMIDT

A good night's sleep doesn't come from just fluffy pillows and a dark, cold room. Other factors, like a regular sleep schedule and stress management, are crucial for students to feel well-rested, said Dr. Linda Keeler, psychiatrist for the University.
"I've always been meticulous about sleep," Bryan Strecker, a graduate student from Topeka.
The cycle then repeats beginning again with the light sleep stage and continuing with longer REM cycles lasting up to an hour, according to WebMd. During the entire cycle, body tissue is repaired, the immune system is strengthened and memories are processed.

Strecker also pointed to the importance of winding down before going to bed. He usually relaxes, takes his mind off the day's concerns and even writes a list of to-dos for the next day to ease his mind.
He said that will help avoid procrastination, last-minute cramming and late nights that interfere with proper sleep. Ragoner thinks

Kansas drafts new anti-abortion laws
PoliticalFiber.com
Kansas has drawn national attention for being one of the key battleground states for abortion and reproductive rights. The battle in the state legislature over abortion could spill into areas of family planning and contraception as more restrictive legislation is drafted and voted on this session.
Anti-abortion leaders in the Republican-controlled Legislature have said they plan to strengthen legal protection for physicians and other health care professionals who do not want to participate in abortions.
There has also been discussion of trying to prohibit abortion after the first detectable fetal heartbeat, or banning abortion altogether through a "personhood" clause, asserting that life begins when an
egg is fertilized.
This all comes on the heels of drastic changes during last year's legislative session as well. Kansas legislators passed very restrictive laws regulating abortion clinics and late-term abortion, and restricted private insurance coverage of abortions. Legislators also attempted to prevent the state from giving federal family planning money to Planned Parenthood for non-abortion services, but a federal judge ordered the state to fund Planned Parenthood clinics.

MONTERREY, Mexico Police in northern Mexico have captured an alleged member of the Zetas drug gang who confessed to killing at least 75 people, including many who were pulled off of buses, authorities said Monday.
Police capture violent gang member
Enrique Elizondo Flores told investigators 36 of his victims were bus passengers traveling through the town of Cerralvo, near the border with Texas, said Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene.

Elizondo was detained Jan. 20 in the town of Salinas Victoria, but authorities delayed announcing his arrest so they could verify details of his confession, said Nuevo Leon state Attorney General Adrian de la Garza.
Domene said the 35-year-old

suspect told investigators he had been working in the area at least three years and that he was in charge of killing members of the rival Gulf drug cartel heading to the towns of Cerralvo and General Trevino. He and other gunmen last January began pulling passengers off of buses as they arrived at Cerralvo's bus station, Domene said.
Elizondo distinguished himself "for torturing, maiming and then killing his victims," Domene said.
They are among at least 92 bus passengers that the Zetas are accused of killing in three attacks in January and March 2011. Many the victims were originally from the central state of Guanajuato and had arrived in Cerralvo from the border city of Reynosa, Domene said.

DAKAR, Senegal — The paramilitary police say two people were killed in Senegal during an anti-government protest, and a witness says security forces opened fire on the crowd.
Amadou Diagne Niang, a resident of the northern town of Podor, said the two dead Monday include an elderly woman and a high school student. He says they were killed when security forces opened fire on the crowd after protesters refused to disperse.
a spokesman for the national gendarmerie, says had been informed that two people were killed in Podor, but he could not disclose details. He says the gendarmerie was investigating.

Government official sentenced to jail
BUCHAREST, Romania
BOUHAKEST, Romania Romania's highest court on Monday sentenced former Prime Minister Adrian Nastase to two years in prison after convicting him of illegally raising funds for a failed presidential campaign.
The ruling is the first time a former Romanian premier has been sentenced to prison since communism ended in the country in 1989.
Four others in the case received six-year prison sentences. The sentences can be appealed.
Nastase, who was prime minister from 2000 to 2004, insists he is innocent and that the case is politically motivated. He said he would appeal.
Prosecutors alleged that companies and state agencies were forced to pay fees to attend a conference in 2004, and the money was then
used to pay for Nastase's unsuccessful run for the presidency in 2004. He lost the runoff to President Traian Basescu.

Japan's population to fall by 2060
ASIA
TOKYO Japan's population of 128 million will shrink by one-third and seniors will account for 40 percent of people by 2060, placing a greater burden on a smaller working-age population to support the social security and tax systems.
The grim estimate of how rapid aging will shrink Japan's population was released Monday by the Health and Welfare Ministry.
In year 2060, Japan will have 87 million people. The number of people 65 or older will nearly double to 40 percent, while the national work force of people between ages 15 and 65 will shrink to about half
of the total population, according to the estimate, made by the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research.
The total fertility rate, or the expected number of children born per woman during lifetime, in 2060 is estimated at 1.35, down from 1.39 in 2010 — well below more than 2 needed to keep the country's population from declining. But the average Japanese will continue to live longer. The average life expectancy for 2060 is projected at 90.93 for women, up from 86.39 in 2010, and 84.19 years for men, up from 79.64 years.
Dating experts to share advice with KU students
CAMPUS
Without a special someone as Valentine's Day approaches? Fear not, college dating coaches Dave and Ethan will be in woodruff Auditorium tonight at 8 p.m., providing advice for the lovelovel.
In 2008, childhood friends Dave Ahdoot and Ethan Fixell posted ads inviting women to go on a double date with them. After 200 double dates and a web series about their exploits, Dave and Ethan decided to put their dating experience to good use by offering college students advice and sharing anecdotes
from their personal experience.
Although the pair has a background in comedy and improvisation that gives the show a satirical tone, genuine matchmaking does occur, said Ahdoot, particularly during their spin on the classic dating show where one single girl interviews prospective suitors and picks her match.
"We've had a lot train-wrecks, but we've had some success stories," Ahdoot said. "We have two or three couples that are still together."

Dentist pleads guilty to malpractice charge
-Kelsey Cipolla
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — A former Massachusetts dentist was sentenced to one year in jail Monday for using paper cups instead of stainless steel posts in root canals.
Dr. Michael Clair pleaded guilty earlier this month to a list of charges, including assault and battery, defrauding Medical of $130,000, illegally prescribing medications and witness intimidation.
Prosecutors said Clair sometimes used sections of paper clips when performing root canals in an effort to save money. Some of his patients reported infections and other problems.
Brenda Almeida said her teenage sons to tooth turned black and had to be removed after Clair performed a root canal on him in 2005. She said Clair also performed shoddy dental work on her other two children.
Almeida, who watched Clair get sentenced in Fall River Superior Court Monday, said she was angry about what she considers to be a light sentence.
"He put my kids in pain for months. I hope he rots there," she said after Judge Richard Moses sentenced Clair to a year in the Bristol County House of Correction.
Prosecutors asked for a sentence of five to seven years.
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley said Clair billed the Medicaid program for the costs of stainless steel posts and submitted false claims using other dentists' provider numbers.
"The defendant physically and emotionally harmed his patients by taking advantage of the trust they placed in him as their dentist." Coakley said in a statement. "Mr. Clair brazenly cheated the Medicaid program and defrauded taxpayer dollars, billing for health care services he did not provide."
Clair, who had a dental practice in Fall River, now lives in Crofton, Md.
The judge said he considered Clair's acceptance of responsibility, lack of a criminal record and "certain mental health issues" Clair is dealing with in deciding on the one-year sentence. He did not give any specifics on the mental health issues.
Clair's lawyer, John Dingee, declined to comment.
Moses granted a request from prosecutors to order Clair to stay away from his victims and seven people who worked in his office. Assistant Attorney General Toby Unger said Clair's former staff members "have expressed concern for their safety," but did not elaborate.

Celebs flaunt fashion risks on Red Carpet
FASHION
LOS ANGELES — The style stakes are heating up this red carpet season, and at the SAG Awards on Sunday night, it was the risks that paid off.
And when it came to details, Zoe Saldana's white Gwenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown, with its tank bodice under a sheer overlay and jeweled neckline, was unlike anything else out there.
Michelle Williams' red Valentino gown was distinguished by the twist of a one-shoulder bodice and short, red lace sleeves. The surprising ankle-length, cutaway hem showed off her Roger Viver cage sandals.
But the biggest risk-taker was Rose Byrne, who dressed in a white Elie Saab jumpsuits. Her inspiration, she said, was the late 1970s/early '80s feel of the movie "Scarface," and with her bob haircut, the ensemble worked in a kooky chic way.
Emma Stone's dress — by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen — was a total knockout because of its "exploding lace" bustier, as the fashion house describes it; and the fresh, mid-calf length, all the better to showcase a killer pair of peep-toe shoes.

February is one of those winter months when not-so-hot movies are dumped into theaters with little fanfare. Radcliffe's film, a horror chiller called "The Woman in Black," hasn't been what you'd call overpublicized — you've probably seen more posters for "Underworld: Awakening."
We'll find out Friday whether "The Woman in Black" is typical winter trash or a hidden gem. Meantime, here are some other February releases that show glimmers of promise.

A closer look at the state of our country
NATIONAL
President Barack Obama pauses during the State of the Union address at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012. Obama proposed new policies and legislation, including trading with China and incentives for domestic energy consumption
S. H. C.
The State of our Union is getting stronger," said President Barack
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Obama in his most recent State of the Union address to the American people. This was Obama's fourth State of the Union, and an important one because this year is an election year, which means a possible reelection for Barack Obama. We can be sure that the Republican candidates have analyzed each and every statement, and while I won't go into that much depth, here is the main thing that I took from Obama's oration.
By Ryan Schlesener
rschlesener@kansan.com
I took particular interest in President Obama's statement: "I'm a Democrat. But I believe what Republican Abraham Lincoln believed: that Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more." After supporting this very conservative statement, he continued to propose liberal policy and regulations.
Such policies included the creation of a Trade Enforcement Unit to regulate trade with China,policies to prevent students from quitting high school until either graduation or they turn eighteen,and providing incentives for domestic energy consumption.
The back story on this Lincoln quote is the opposition of government regulations. Obama has proposed even more regulation on trade, education and energy. In a free market system, which Lincoln's quote is clearly supporting, these regulations are not necessary for an economy to flourish, and, in fact,
discourage growth.
Over time, I have become a firm Constitutionalist. Continual government regulations have driven our economy down to, and nearly beyond, the breaking point. Sure, job creation has spiked and the unemployment rate has decreased from the record highs it was at earlier in Obama's term, but is that an effect of the policies implemented by the current administration or simply a hope in the coming election?
Truthfully, it has much more to do with the hope that the next administration can do something to stop the current trends. The private and public sectors are tired of continual regulations. Seeing that more and more people are getting fed up with these anti-constitutional regulations, they believe there will be a Republican party victory in the November election and are slowly beginning to ready their businesses for a spike in production when these regulations are repealed.
The policies suggested by President Obama in this State of the Union address will not bring about the change that he hopes for, just
like his policies throughout the term have not been nearly as successful as he had hoped.
The $825 billion stimulus plan, which was predicted to have the unemployment rate below six percent at this point in time, hasn't come close to that. In fact, this is the first 35-month period since before World War II that the unemployment rate has stayed about 8 percent constantly. It even peaked at 10.1 percent in 2009, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Obamacare, which he promised would save the average family about $2,500 dollars on their premiums.
has actually made acquiring health care slightly even more expensive, accounting for an increase of around $132 dollars per year, according to a story by Kaiser Health News.
These are just a few examples of the countless failed policies put into effect by this administration. But even though these policies have failed, I will challenge anyone who says Barack Obama doesn't care about this country. He is doing what he believes is right and what he believes will turn this country around. He's simply wrong.
This is still a country founded on the American Dream. We all believe in a better tomorrow, and so does Barack Obama. This is a crucial time for our country. We have to keep hope alive. We can worry about the election come election time, but as for right now, we, as a major, elected him into office. President Barack Obama deserves the support of the American people whether we agree with his policies or not. It's time we give him the respect and support he has earned.
He cares about America, and above all else, he is still our president.

POLITICS
The GOP's race to the White House
The Republican primary race is in full swing. A primary race that started with seven nominees has dwindled down to four. Only Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorney and Ron Paul remain and will today go in front of the Republican primary voters in the state of Florida.
By Billy McCroy
bmccroy@kansan.com
Prior to the February 21 South Carolina primary, it appeared that Mitt Romney would finally get his chance as the Republican presidential nomination. However, following a dominating win in South Carolina in which he garnered 40 percent of the vote, it appears that Newt Gingrich is not out of the picture yet. And so, as the nominees prepare to go in front of Florida primary voters, here are the reasons why I believe President Obama will be facing Newt Gingrich come November.
Another man whose days are numbered is Rick Santorum. The former senator from Pennsylvania is the most socially conservative nominee remaining. Mr. Santorum's views include a strict opposition to same-sex marriage and a traditional view on family values, which has been juxtaposed with the less than perfect history of Speaker Gingrich. However, this election will be focus on economic issues; socially conservative issues haven't resonated with
First, let's not forget the populist choice, Ron Paul. The U.S. Representative from Texas ran in 2008 and gained a large amount of support from young voters with his Libertarian and populist ideals. He believes in pulling back troops from overseas, cutting world aid programs, putting the dollar back on the gold standard and curtailing the Federal Reserve, IRS and the welfare state.
Because his message is popular with young voters, he'll never become a serious Presidential contender. The most active voting demographic in this country is over the age of 45. He has stuck around to spread his message, but he'll drop out at the last moment and become the Libertarian candidate.
voters. If Santorum is around by Super Tuesday on (March 6th), I'll be surprised.
This leaves us with the two men that will likely duke it out for the nomination. The cool, calculated "Massachusetts moderate" Mitt Romney and the brash, 'neversay-die' former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
They couldn't be any different. Romney is the Northeastern business man; quick-witted, financially focused, and has a reputation as a flip-flopper who lies somewhere left of the conservative heart of the GOP.
Gingrich is the Georgian conservative gunslinger. As Speaker of the House, he led the way for the first Republican-majority in the House in 40 years but was forced to resign in disgrace. Gingrich's South Carolina win was based on the belief that he is more electable than Romney, a quality that had until recently, been tied with Romney's name.
Speaker Gingrich's debate performances led many to believe that he'd be able to compete with President Obama who is a great orator himself. Romney has painted Gingrich as part of the D.C. establishment. At the same time, Gingrich has continuously played on Romney's moderate reputation. Their policies aren't all that dissimilar, but their images are.
It is Romney's inability to perform in debates and wealthy, moderate reputation that will hurt him. Newt Gingrich excites voters and will outperform Romney in the more conservative states, he'll simply have too many delegates to beat.

Academy disappoints with newest nominees
Like usual, the Oscar nominations are unsatisfactory
Ah, it's that most wonderful time of the year! Film lovers and film sorta-likers alike recently awoke to a fresh new batch of Oscar nominations and have begun their monthlong protest against the Academy's yearly incompetence. Yes, there's nothing quite as satisfying as rolling your eyes as hard as you can at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Did you know the sentence "Wow, the Academy really nailed it with the nominations this year!" has never been uttered? It's true! That's because the Academy nominates great movies with all the accuracy of a drunk chimpanzee throwing darts at a wall, except that even a drunk chimp probably wouldn't have nominated "The Help" quite so many times.
The most immediate disappointment seems to be the lack of nominations for Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive". No one was particularly surprised that it didn't score a Best Picture nomination and even less so that star Ryan Gosling failed to get a Best Actor nomination, but Twitter has gone crazy over Albert Brooks' absence from the Best Supporting Actor category.
Critics had hailed his portrayal of mercurial mobster Bernie Rose as revelatory, and he was seen as a shoe-in at the Oscars. After finding out he was snubbed, Brooks tweeted, "And to the Academy: 'You don't like me. You really don't like me.'"
By Lou Schumaker
lschumaker@kansan.com
Honestly, though, the most shocking is the nominations for "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close". Despite being critically panned, the saccharine film about 9/11 and annoyingly precocious children managed to score a Best Picture nomination - probably because it was about 9/11 and had an annoyingly precocious child as the lead. According to
Lucas Kavner at the Huffington Post, "Extremely Loud" is the worst-reviewed movie move within the past ten years to snag a Best Picture spot.
It's not all bad, however: "The Artist", "The Descendants", and "Moneyball" predictably scored a slew of nominations and the Academy saw fit to throw a bone to Terrence Malick and his film, "The Tree of Life". Additionally, many great actresses and also Glenn Close were nominated for a wide variety of roles.
Part of the problem this year is
that 2011's roster of movies just wasn't that great. "Drive" was probably my favorite movie of the year, and I wasn't even that crazy about it. I can sympathize with the Academy when even I'm not 100 percent sure what I'd like to win Best Picture.
"That's because the Academy nominates great movies with all the accuracy of a drunk chimpanzee throwing darts at a wall."
Still, they could try a little harder. There was a push to get actor Andy Serkis, the man behind many CGI characters like Gollum and King Kong, a Best Supporting Actor nomination. He performed as Caesar, the chimpanzee who started a revolution in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". While the CGI department obviously deserves a lot of credit for the role, critics hailed Serkis' subtle performance as he
went from wild animal to
ape-Che Guevera.
Nominating him would have been a chance for the Oscars to give recognition to an under-appreciated
and little known actor, but if Albert Brooks couldn't get in, what chance did Serikis have?
If we're being honest, though, I'll probably forgive it all if they bring the Muppets onstage to sing.

INTRAMURALS
Students show off talent in games at the Rec
RYAN SCHLESENER

twitter.com/UDK_intramurals
"Danny and the Miracles," "Mario's Miracle," and George Brett's "Pine Tar Game." These are just a few of the most famous, or infamous, moments in sports history, just to name a few.
But not all special moments in sports have to happen in the biggest games or biggest leagues. There are game winning shots, underdog stories, and angry outbursts in every league, in every city, all across the country.
From little league sports to the pros, or from Division 1 athletics to intramurals, anyone who has been involved with sports has most likely witnessed a special moment, be it positive or negative.
Phillip Schmitt, a referee for KU's Intramural Sports, recalled some of the most memorable moments he has witnessed throughout his tenure.
Schmitt said he remembers one game in particular that happened in the "Elite 8" of the league. With a two-point lead,
and only 30 seconds remaining on the clock in overtime, the ball was brought down by a player who had been having a great night from beyond the three point arc.
"The kid had been nailing threes all night long," Schmitt said.
Instead of making the safe play and running out the clock, the player, who had the hot hand all night drove down the court and pulled up for a contested three, and drained the shot to seal the victory.
This may sound like a familiar scenario to KU basketball fans.
In the 2010 NCAA tournament, with 36 seconds left on the clock, and still 30 seconds on the shot clock, Ali Farokhmanesh sunk a three-point dagger that sealed the Northern Iowa upset over KU in the second round.
The player in the intramural game hit a similar shot in an almost identical situation. While his shot didn't earn him national recognition, it is still a shot that he and his teammates will most likely remember for quite some time.
Close games coming down
to the wire are commonplace in intramural sports, due to dividing teams into two leagues: competitive or recreational.
Matt Beck, Director of Intramural Sports said, "We try to keep our leagues as competitively balanced as possible. If you play in the competitive league, you can't play in the recreational league"
The separation of talent is sometimes evident toward the end of games, when it may come down to a clutch score, or a key defensive stop to win the game. In fact, just this year, the flag football championship game was decided on a game winning catch in overtime.
Just because it's not Division 1 or professional athletics, doesn't mean special moments won't happen in intramural sports. Spring sports leagues began play last night, and according to the ku.athleague.com calendar, events in either racquetball, basketball, are scheduled Sunday through Thursday nights every week throughout most of February.

Duke defeated in Durham
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DURHAM, N.C. — Nobody beats No. 5 Duke like this. Not this badly, and not on its home court.
Well, nobody except for No. 3 Connecticut.
The Blue Devils had their 34-game winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium snapped in decisive fashion, missing 19 consecutive shots over roughly 12 minutes in a_61-45 loss to UConn on Monday night.
The Huskies, the last team to beat Duke here when they did it in 2010, frustrated the Blue Devils with their defense.
Duke shot a season-low 24.6 percent against a UConn team determined to take away the lane and force the Blue Devils into a jump-shooting team.
As a result, freshman star Elizabeth Williams finished with 10 points on 3-of-15 shooting. Leading scorer Chelsea Gray had 11 of her 13 points in the first half but was 1 of 7 after the break for the Blue Devils (17-3), who had won 11 straight overall.
Their two previous losses were by a combined nine points, but they finished this one 17 of 69 from the field.
"We took a lot of shots, and I think, hopefully, we're going to learn a valuable lesson when we watch the film," coach Joanne P. McCallie said. "We broke out of what we do effusively. We were too one-on-one-oriented, and we paid a price for that."
Bria Hartley scored 15 points and Caroline Doty added 11
points for the Huskies (20-2), who shot 45 percent and overcame 21 turnovers by forcing 15 from Duke.
"This particular group, I'm surprised, but we're a really good defensive team. ... It's difficult for teams to get comfortable against us, because you might have a different kid guarding you every time down the floor," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "But the effort was unbelievable. We kind of pride ourselves on that. We think we're the best defensive team in the country, and kids buy into that. And they're not an easy team to defend."
Maybe not, but at times UConn sure made it look that way.
Williams' layup with just under 18 minutes left was the Blue Devils' last basket until Haley Peters hit a 3-pointer with fewer than 6 minutes remaining. Duke finished with only eight assists on its 17 baskets.
"It's a great lesson for our team. A great lesson on what not to do offensively, and how not to, I guess, rush yourself and do some things that we" shouldn't do, Mc-Callie said.
Duke trailed by 14 late in the first half before putting together a 12-3 run that bridged the break. The Blue Devils forced five turnovers in the first six minutes of the half, and Williams helped Duke close to 34-29 with a free throw with 17:19 left.
before Tiffany Hayes added a bucket in the lane, pushing it to 50-33 with just over 7 minutes left, and Duke didn't get closer than 12 the rest of the way.
That's when UConn took over and began stretching its lead with 3-pointers. The Huskies hit four — two by Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis — in a 9-minute stretch
"They did a good job of clogging the lane a little bit, and sometimes we would take too many dribbles," Gray said.
Stefanie Dolson added 10 points and Kiah Stokes had 11 of her 12 rebounds on the defensive end for UConn.
The Huskies entered with the nation's toughest defense by shooting percentage, holding opponents to 30 percent. They forced the Blue Devils into their worst shooting night by far — their previous low was 32 percent in a loss to Notre Dame.
"That's how you want to play on the road," Hartley said.
The Huskies have dominated this series lately, winning five in a row since the Blue Devils' overtime win in 2006. They routed Duke twice last season — including a 36-point loss that ended the Blue Devils' unbeaten start to 2010-11 and a 35-point ramp in the NCAA tournament with a Final Four berth on the line. UConn's last visit to Cameron was a 33-point rout in January 2010.
"I hope this team thinks we can beat anybody, and there's something wrong with them if they don't," McCallie said. "And they're really going to regret when they see this film (Tuesday)."
But unlike all those meetings, this one remained a game into the second half.
ROTATION PAGE 8
too few either, arguing that the size of the rotation doesn't always matter.
"But that '08 team, we played seven a ton of minutes," Self said. "You look at that team and we had seven starters. I don't quite feel that way this year. I feel like we have six."
He was presumably speaking
of Conner Teahan as the extra starter, whose 20.8 minutes per game nearly double the action seen by forwards Kevin Young and Justin Wesley.
With only one bench player seeing considerable action, starters are being relied upon much more than in the past. At the same time, Self hasn't been happy with his team near the end of a shot clock after playing defense for
sometimes 30 seconds or longer. One theory for the breakdowns on defense is fatigue.
"I would say the percentage of people scoring against us is far higher in the last seven to eight seconds of a possession than it is in the first 27," Self said. "We don't finish possessions."

Super Bowl amps up security
INDIANAPOLIS — From pick-pockets and prostitutes to dirty bombs and exploding manhole covers, authorities are bracing for whatever threat the first Super Bowl in downtown Indianapolis might bring.
Some — nuclear terrorism, for instance — are likely to remain just hypothetical. But others, like thieves and wayward manhole covers, are all too real.
Though Indianapolis has ample experience hosting large sporting events — the Indianapolis 500 attracts more than 200,000 fans each year, and the NCAA's men's Final Four basketball tournament has been held here six times since 1980 — the city's first Super Bowl poses some unique challenges.
Unlike the Final Four, which is compressed into a weekend, the Super Bowl offers crowd, travel and other logistical challenges over 10 days leading up to the Feb. 5 game. And unlike the 500, where events are largely concentrated at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway about seven miles from Lucas Oil Stadium, the NFL's showcase event will consume 44 blocks — about a
mile square — in the heart of the city, closing off streets and forcing an anticipated 150,000 or more NFL fans to jockey with downtown workers for space much of the week.
"This is clearly bigger in terms of the amount of people who will be downtown over an extended period of time," city Public Safety Director Frank Straub said.
Under a security risk rating system used by the federal government, the Super Bowl ranks just below national security events involving the president and the Secret Service, said Indianapolis Chief of Homeland Security Gary Coons. The ratings are based on factors including international attention, media coverage, number of people the event attracts and visits by celebrities and foreign dignitaries, he said. The Indianapolis 500 ranks two levels below the Super Bowl.
The city has invested millions of dollars and worked with local, state and federal agencies to try to keep all those people safe. Up to 1,000 city police officers will be in the stadium and on the street, carrying smartphones and other electronic hand-held devices that
will enable them to feed photos and video to a new state-of-the art operations center on the city's east side or to cruisers driven by officers providing backup, Straub said. Hundreds of officers from other agencies, including the state police and the FBI, will be scanning the crowd for sign of pickpocketing, prostitution or other trouble.
One concern has been a series of explosions in Indianapolis Power & Light's underground network of utility cables. A dozen underground explosions have occurred since 2005, sending manhole covers flying.
Eight explosions have occurred since 2010. The latest, on Nov. 19, turned a manhole cover into a projectile that heavily damaged a parked car and raised concerns about the safety of Super Bowl visitors walking on streets and soaring above the Super Bowl village on four zip lines installed for the festivities.
Since December, IPL has spent about $180,000 to install 150 new locking manhole covers, primarily in the Super Bowl village and other areas expected to see high pre-game traffic.

THE MORNING BREW Soccer makes for a compelling season
Say what you will about soccer,but there is no denying that it provides more storylines for its fans than any other sport.
Professional soccer leagues provide multiple competitions each season for teams to win. Teams can win the 38-game season, receiving three points for a win and one point for a tie. Each league also hosts at least one domestic tournament, some, like England, even host two — the F.A. Cup and the Carling Cup.
By Max Lush
mlush@kansan.com
To top it off, there are continental competitions during the season as well. The winner of the UEFA, or European Champions League — a 76-team tournament — between the threeorfour best teams from each league in Europe, is crowned the best team in Europe and takes home possibly the most coveted trophy in club soccer.
It's nice to crown a team champion of something that actually plays the teams they're champions of, unlike the World
Champion St. Louis Cardinals.
But perhaps the most entertaining and gut-wrenching aspect of soccer is relegation. The lowest three teams from every league are demoted to a lower level league in that competition. This makes games between terrible teams remarkably compelling.
The emotion from the fans, players and coaches of a team in relegation territory sees onto the field. The fans live and die for their club. I encourage you to go on YouTube and search for West
Bromwich Albion vs. Portsmouth 2004- 2005, or just "relegation Saturday," to see what this means to a fan and to the players.
Imagine being at the last game of the season for the team you bleed for, a team you would give anything for, but they have struggled the entire season and are one of the worst in the league. Now, imagine watching that game knowing that if your team loses, they will be sent to a lower league.In which case, Your team will likely have to sell their best players in order to bring revenue back into the club, and you would have to fight the next season to be considered relevant again.
If relegation existed in American sports, my San Francisco Giants would not have even been in the National League in 2008 when they won the World Series. Hell, my Sacramento Kings would be playing around in the NBA Development League.
Soccer leagues know how to create
KU
reasons for fans to remain interested. Even if your team doesn't win the league, it can still qualify for a continental competition. If your team doesn't qualify for a continental competition, it can still win a domestic trophy.
My team, Liverpool, may not qualify for European competition, and it certainly won't challenge for the league, but they just knocked off the top two teams in English soccer last week — Manchester United and Manchester City — in both domestic tournaments.
So while Liverpool fans may not have had all their dreams for the season fulfilled, they still very much have something to cheer for, and that's what separates soccer from other sports.

Final fight at the'Zou

ROTATION LACKS REST
This weekend's showdown with Missouri may have the national build-up as one of the biggest games of the season. All eyes will be on both teams as they prove that this is not just another game.
If this season is in fact the last year of the "Border Showdown" at least it will go out with a bang.
ASHLEIGH LEE/KANSAN FILE PHOTO
Saturday's game against rival Missouri in Columbia promises to be one of the most anticipated games of the series in years.
Last Saturday's loss at Iowa State and Missouri's loss at Oklahoma State further proved that winning on the road in Big 12 play is never an easy task, and Kansas can't put too much emphasis on simply leaving Columbia victoriously. Bill Self and the Jayhawks can't get caught looking ahead because that's what leads to lackadaisal and uninspired play.
Senior guard Conner Teahan drives through his opponent to get to the goal during the game against Oklahoma at Lloyd Noble Center where the Jayhawks defeated the Sooners 72-61. As of late, Conner Teahan and much of the Kansas bench have played below expectations.
With animosity between the two sides dating back to actual violence in the Civil War, Kansas and Missouri have taken this hatred out on one another in athletic competition for 120 years. The history and intensity of this series makes the "Border Showdown" worthy of comparable national recognition as Ohio State-Michigan, Alabama-Auburn and Duke-North Carolina. However, the rivalry has rarely received the national exposure and hype that it deserves.
ESPN's College GameDay will make its first-ever trip to Columbia to showcase one of the final meetings between Kansas and Missouri. For just the third time in the series' history, both Kansas and Missouri will square off while ranked in the top 10: Missouri at No.4 and Kansas at No.8.
That will change on Saturday.
From the looks of it, this game at Mizzou Arena should mean more to the Missouri faithful than it does for Kansas. The Missouri Alumni Association is even holding a contest for free tickets awarded to the person with the three best reasons he or she is not a jiahawk.
The whole nation will be watching as a sold out Mizzou Arena bids farewell to the Kansas Jayhawks before the eventual leap to the Southeastern Conference. The Jayhawks are no stranger to hostile environments, but the scene on Saturday night will blow away the "Hilton Magic" that led to the Kansas defeat over the weekend.
Saturday night's game is the most important regular season game in the history of Missouri basketball as beating Kansas in the last-ever meeting at Mizzou Arena would give the Tiger faithful bragging rights that they'd cherish forever.
Is this game really the be-all and end-all for Kansas? Absolutely not. The Jayhawks lead the series 171-94, so if the rivalry does end this year, Kansas dominated the basketball side. If both Kansas and Missouri take care of business during the week, the Jayhawks will enter Saturday's match-up with a one-game lead on the Tigers in the Big 12 race. Yes, a win over Missouri would double Kansas' lead in the standings, but there is still so much basketball yet to be played.
KORY CARPENTER

With just more than 13 minutes to play in the first half of Saturday's game against Iowa State, senior guard Tyshawn Taylor received an outlet pass from Travis Releford and dribbed up the right sideline. He led a 3-on-2 fast break in favor of Kansas, but instead of doing what he's known for — getting to the basket — Taylor stopped on a dime and attempted a three-pointer about two feet beyond the line. The shot fell about two feet short, bouncing innocently out of bounds into
the Iowa State student section, giving the Cyclone fans a chance to yell "airball" for the rest of the game whenever Taylor had possession.
Coach Bill Self immediately spun around and eyed his bench, looking for a message to send to Taylor in the form of a substitution. Except Self couldn't find any messengers in blue uniforms. He had just sat Elijah Johnson after a pair of bad passes led to two turnovers and had no other guards in his rotation available. He decided to leave Taylor in the game.
"We're playing guys too many minutes," Self said after
the loss. "But we're not getting much from our bench at all right now."
The decline in bench production has certainly hampered Self's opportunities to invite players to take a seat after mistakes, but even a productive starting-five needs a rest every now and again. Four players
— Taylor, Johnson, Thomas Robinson and Releford — are currently averaging more than 30 minutes per game. If the season ended today, it would be the first time that many players have averaged at least 30 minutes in Self's career at Kansas.
Self has had three players play
more than 30 minutes per game in two seasons. In terms of winning percentages, they were two of his three worst seasons at Kansas (2003-04, 2004-05). In 2003-2004, the bench consisted mainly of Jeff Graves and David Lee, but both were able to shoulder the load with 18 minutes per game a piece. The following season, there were four players coming off the bench to form a nine-player rotation.
"I do think it's hard to develop great chemistry if you're playing nine," Self said, but he didn't agree that seven players were

Kansas fights for No. 2 spot in Big 12
RYAN MCCARTHY
rmccarthy@kansan.com
Growing up in Tahlequah, Okla., located approximately three hours east of the University of Oklahoma, junior guard Angel Goodrich was a dedicated Sooners fan throughout high school.
For a while she considered playing at OU and had the opportunity to go there after high school, but decided Kansas was a better fit.
At 7 p.m. tonight at Allen Fieldhouse, the Sooners (13-6, 5-3 Big 12), and the Jayhawks will battle for second place in the Big 12 Conference.
One might think Goodrich would have a little more incentive to beat her childhood team, but she's not too concerned.
In order to be successful, it will be important for the Jayhawks to shake off their 74-46 loss to No. 1 Baylor this past Saturday.
"I've been to their school and I know (Oklahoma head coach) Sherri Coale, but it's not just them. It's just like any other game," Goodrich said. "I'm going in thinking about what I need to do and what I need to do to get the team ready for this game."
With two days of practice
and preparation underway for the Sooners, the Jayhawks (16-4, 5-3 Big 12) seem focused and ready for the next match-up.
"If we didn't go out and compete our hardest, then it would be a dower, but we know we gave effort," junior forward Carolyn Davis said. "There's things we need to fix of course, but as long as we went in there with the confidence and we played our best. We just didn't come out on the right end of it."
Even though this a crucial point in the season, the Jayhawks understand they've got to take it one game at a time.
"The most important thing is to not worry about them, that will take care of itself", coach Bonnie Henrickson said. "We need to figure out how to prepare and beat Oklahoma."
Some of the key players the Jayhawks will have to look out for include Sooner sophomore guard Aaryn Ellenberg who's currently in fourth place in the Big 12 in scoring with 16.9 points per game.
Goodrich and the other Jayhawk guards will be defending Ellenberg for much of the night.
"She can shoot the ball. She's really quick. She can drive the basket. She can do it all pretty much. I just got to contain her. She's a good point guard." Goodrich said.
The other major player the Jayhawks will need to contain is junior guard Whitney Hand who has emerged as the No. 2 option for the Sooners lethal three-point attack.
The Sooners lead the Big 12 at 37.7 shooting percentage from beyond the arc.
MacFa陆, a Derby Kan., native, broke her jaw on Jan. 14 against Oklahoma State.
When Oklahoma is healthy it has a well-developed front court. However, the status of Sooner junior forward Joanna MacFarland is still unknown.
According to a story by The Oklahomaan, Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale expected her to be out for at least two weeks. MacFarland had surgery to repair her jaw on Jan. 16.
Regardless of who will be in the front court, the Jayhawks will be ready for any scenario.
"They're going to come in hungry ready to take that spot from us." Davis said. "It's kind of like we're even right now. They're thinking they can beat us and we're going in the same way."
